00:00Previously on Castle.
00:02I'm Mark Fallon, Department of Homeland Security.
00:04Jamal al-Habi. He had his cousin Amir fashion a dirty bomb.
00:07How can you not know the man you're sharing a bed with is a terrorist?
00:10I swear to you I don't know!
00:12Jamal and Amir are not terrorists. You're chasing the wrong guy.
00:15Let's just talk about something else.
00:16How's Josh?
00:17He's gone. He's always gone.
00:19Farik Youssef, Syrian consulate.
00:21At your service. As events unfold, you may find yourself in need of a man with my skills.
00:26What if Amir suspected another driver?
00:28So the last two places Amir was and Kevin McCann has been to, both of them?
00:32We have a location on the truck.
00:33We at least have to go see why this warehouse area is so popular.
00:36Open her up!
00:38Shit!
00:56The bomb was not in the truck!
00:58No, sir!
01:00That's negative. The bomb was not in the truck!
01:03We have rad crews on the ground now!
01:05Yes, sir! I'll keep you apprised!
01:07Keep the perimeter at a three block radius and keep the press the hell out of here.
01:11We don't need a panic on our hands, all right?
01:13Sir, radiation teams have finished sweeping the immediate area. Negative across the board.
01:18If they moved the device, it's not nearby.
01:21Makes no sense. Why would they move it?
01:23It's a rodeo clown.
01:24Rodeo clown?
01:25A truck. It's a diversion.
01:27Jamal must have sensed we were closing in.
01:29He gave us something to chase, throw us off the target. He's playing us.
01:32So we're back to square one.
01:34We've got to find Jamal. Move in on his employees. Shake the trees.
01:39Somebody's got to know something.
01:44You think Fallon knows he's chasing a dead man?
01:47No. And he won't know unless we get out of here.
01:50Think they're coming back?
01:52Why would they?
01:54For Jamal. What else would they keep his body on ice?
01:57Whoever's behind this wanted to preserve his body for some reason.
02:02I'm thinking they wanted his body in that van with the bomb.
02:06That way, when the bomb goes off...
02:08He'd have his remains and his DNA at the crime scene.
02:10People would think that he was the terrorist.
02:12Right. And then the real terrorists would get away scot-free.
02:15Okay, so then the question is why?
02:18What is their agenda?
02:20We're not going to find out in here.
02:22Oh, Castle, thank you for stating the obvious.
02:26Got anything?
02:27No, no. No thermostat, no control box. Must be on the outside.
02:30Got any bars on your phone?
02:36No. Wait, wait, wait.
02:39No. You?
02:41No.
02:47How cold do you think it is in here?
02:49I'm judging by the way that it feels.
02:51I'd say it's well below freezing.
02:56How long do you think we're going to last dressed like this?
02:59A couple of hours at the most.
03:01That's what I thought, too.
03:07Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
03:09That door's made of steel. I don't think that's going to do anything.
03:12Castle, nobody knows that we're in here.
03:14Nobody even knows to look for us.
03:16We're going to freeze to death if we don't get out of here.
03:18Maybe there's another way out.
03:23Right. Yeah.
03:25On three?
03:26Yeah. One.
03:27Two.
03:28Three.
03:29Okay, again. One.
03:30Two.
03:31Three.
03:32Again. One.
03:33Two.
03:34Three.
03:35We didn't have to come back. I was fine, you know.
03:37Fine? I can literally feel your anxiety level rising the further we got from the city.
03:43A spiritual retreat is supposed to be spiritual, darling, not stressful.
03:48Well, do it another time when you don't have a test hanging over you.
03:53Although I could have written you a brilliant excuse.
03:56I used to write the best one for your father.
03:58Circus accidents, apartment fires, movie night?
04:04I don't know. He has the projector up, but...
04:10Huh. He's not here.
04:13Well, maybe he's out. As in...
04:16Yes. Ew. But he always calls when he's out or leaves a note.
04:20Well, he figured we were gone, so why bother?
04:24It's late, darling. Come on.
04:26We'll ask him in the morning.
04:36I guess that's not good.
04:38No, it's not.
04:39All right. Stand back.
04:42What are you going to do?
04:44Just stand back.
04:45Oh! Oh!
04:47Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
04:50Are you trying to kill us sooner?
04:52Do you have a better idea?
04:53Maybe just save a few rounds just in case they come back.
05:00Kessel, I could use a silver lining right about now, okay?
05:05Yeah, um...
05:12I wish I had one.
05:18This doesn't make any sense.
05:20What, bro?
05:21These guys work for Jamal's moving company.
05:23They are Middle Eastern, but most of them are citizens, born here in the States.
05:27Aside from a couple of traffic violations, their records are clean.
05:31Maybe that's why they were recruited.
05:33Now you're starting to sound like Fallon.
05:36Maybe Kessel was right.
05:38Maybe there is something else going on here.
05:45Ryan.
05:51Ryan.
05:58You get anything?
06:00Nothing so far.
06:01They claim to not know anything about Jamal's whereabouts or his activities.
06:05The ones that are lawyering up are accusing us of racial profiling.
06:08They're not wrong.
06:12You okay?
06:16Compared to a nuke, a dirty bomb is a fairly crude device.
06:19It's designed to instill fear in the populace.
06:21The majority of the immediate damage is going to come from the conventional explosion, creating a kill zone.
06:26Like Oklahoma City.
06:27Except for it's not just a building that falls.
06:29It spreads radiation for several blocks.
06:31That's your secondary kill zone.
06:33If left untreated, people can die from radiation poisoning in less than a week.
06:37But what makes this such an effective terror weapon is the outer zone.
06:43In this area, everybody seems fine at first.
06:47Then the cancers start showing up.
06:49Babies, kids, adults.
06:52And with every new case that's reported, people flock to the emergency rooms, overwhelm the system.
06:56It's like we're being attacked all over again.
07:02If we can't find the bomb, maybe we can find the target.
07:06Pull everybody you got.
07:07Give me a list of every significant event going on in the city for the next 48 hours.
07:11Any place where people might gather in large numbers.
07:13This is New York City. There are a hundred events going on every day.
07:15We have to narrow it down.
07:17Focus on anything political or government related.
07:19Any sporting events going on?
07:21What's happening at the UN?
07:24Maybe there's a reason they're choosing to strike now.
07:28Sir, can I speak with you alone?
07:30Excuse us.
07:34So what's wrong?
07:35I just got off the phone with Castle's daughter.
07:37Apparently he hasn't come home and she hasn't been able to reach him on his cell.
07:40So?
07:41Castle got kicked off the task force.
07:42Why isn't he at home?
07:43How should I know?
07:44Rebecca's not answering her phone either.
07:45We thought, given their history, that we thought the two of them might have got onto something.
07:49You two do realize that a terrorist cell is threatening to strike and thousands of lives may be at risk?
07:54Yes, sir.
07:55What do you want me to do? Send out a search party because your pals aren't answering their cell phones in the middle of the night?
07:58For all I know, they could be out having a cold one.
08:00Captain.
08:01I appreciate your concern and I'm sure they appreciate your concern.
08:04But they can take care of themselves.
08:05Besides, we have a terrorist to find.
08:08Yes, sir.
08:09Yes, sir.
08:15Castle?
08:19Are you there?
08:20Yes, I'm right here.
08:26I can't feel anything.
08:36I always thought being a cop I'd take a bullet.
08:45I never thought I'd freeze to death.
08:48I know.
08:51Well, I'm not dead yet.
09:00I just wish this was one of your books and you could rewrite the ending.
09:06I'm sorry.
09:08For what?
09:11For being me.
09:16Going rogue.
09:17Getting you into this.
09:20If we hadn't gone on our own.
09:22Shh, Castle.
09:24Okay, shh, shh.
09:30I'm sorry.
09:32Okay, shh, shh.
09:36You were right.
09:38We found the bomb.
09:43We are just too late, okay?
09:47Okay.
10:00Castle.
10:06Thank you for being there.
10:13Always.
10:16It's fine, you don't know how much.
10:27Hey, Kate.
10:31Stay with me.
10:34Kate.
10:40Stay with me.
10:46Kate.
11:17Easy, Cap.
11:19Beckett, where is she?
11:21Sir, I'm gonna need you to calm down.
11:23Where is she?
11:24She's gonna be fine.
11:26We're both fine.
11:27Got to teach us some time.
11:29Josh.
11:30Hey.
11:31So you're recovering from moderate case of hypothermia.
11:34You're gonna be a little bit sluggish for a while.
11:36I'm not.
11:37I'm not.
11:38I'm not.
11:39I'm not.
11:40I'm not.
11:41I'm not.
11:42I'm not.
11:43I'm not.
11:44I'm not.
11:45You're gonna be a little bit sluggish for a while.
11:47But with some warmth and some fluids, you should be alright.
11:49What?
11:50I thought you were in Haiti.
11:52Uh-huh.
11:53Didn't go.
11:54It's gonna hurt.
11:58Okay.
12:00Let's see if I can't get you to sit up.
12:02Alright, move slowly.
12:04There we go.
12:07How long was I out?
12:08Oh, about an hour.
12:10So the bomb?
12:11We searched the entire warehouse.
12:12It's gone.
12:14How'd you find us?
12:15Alexis called.
12:16Said you didn't come home.
12:17Alexis?
12:18She's supposed to be out of town.
12:19Guess she came back.
12:20We figured you were with Beckett.
12:22Until Josh called.
12:23We thought you must be out there doing something incredibly stupid against orders.
12:27So we sent patrol units everywhere we figured would be moronic enough to go.
12:31Found Beckett's car.
12:32Searched the area.
12:33We found the light from the storage container.
12:35I'm glad my stupidity is predictable.
12:38You pull this out of there?
12:41Thanks.
12:52So your boy's back in town?
12:54Mm-hmm.
12:56He came back.
12:59So what does that mean to you?
13:02It means we have a chance.
13:06Come on.
13:08Fallon wants to debrief.
13:10He's ready to believe us.
13:11Ness confirms high levels of residual radiation along with a military-grade Semtex.
13:16There's no question that device was here.
13:18I'll have my team pull surveillance tape on every camera within a quarter mile of here.
13:21Sounds good. I'll catch up to you.
13:22Beckett.
13:23Sir.
13:24You two.
13:26You always this stubborn and insubordinate?
13:28Only when we're trying to save the world.
13:30I'd be more impressed if you succeeded.
13:32How did you know to come here?
13:34Security cameras in Amir's cab.
13:36We think that he was keeping tabs on one of his drivers, Kevin McCann.
13:40You pulled McCann's root records?
13:42Turns out he visited that storage facility in Washington Heights where the radioactive material was being kept and this warehouse long before Amir did.
13:48McCann was here before him?
13:49Yeah. It looks like Amir was following McCann trying to figure out what he was up to until he was caught and killed.
13:53And with Amir, their intended Patsy dead, we think they were trying to implicate his cousin Jamal as the bomber.
13:58That's why they were keeping his body on ice.
14:00Did you see any other members of the cell here?
14:02No. It was dark.
14:03They were shooting.
14:04But we do know that the bomb is housed in a white commercial van with a rear and side passenger door.
14:08A white van in New York City.
14:10Well, that narrows it down.
14:12We saw the counter.
14:14It's set to go off at four o'clock tonight.
14:16It's less than ten hours from now.
14:18All right.
14:19I'll put up checkpoints.
14:21It's already in the city.
14:22Look, I know all the evidence points to Amir and Jamal, but something bigger is going on here and Kevin McCann is involved.
14:30Got it.
14:31Yo.
14:32That was a taxi company.
14:34McCann's supposed to be on shift right now, but he didn't show up.
14:36He's not answering his phone.
14:37Did you get an address?
14:38DMV lists an apartment off Jerome Avenue in the Bronx.
14:40All right, get a team together.
14:41Go up there and get him.
14:44Agent Fallon?
14:45Yeah.
14:46Given the circumstances, we'd like to request to be reinstated on the task force.
14:49Well, that's not up to me.
14:52It'd be up to your doctor, wouldn't it?
15:02You know, it's funny.
15:04When I first met you two, I thought you were together.
15:08Oh.
15:09No.
15:10Just friends.
15:12Get cleaned up.
15:13We've got a long day ahead of us.
15:15All right, guys. Come on.
15:27Oh, Richard, darling.
15:29Oh, are you all right?
15:30Are you using that blanket?
15:31Oh, no. I'm gonna give it to you.
15:33Oh, you poor baby.
15:35No, no, no.
15:36You look like death warmed over.
15:38If someone tries to sell you on cryogenics, say no.
15:41I knew you wouldn't turn your phone off without leaving me a message.
15:43Now, is this about the cab driver?
15:46Look, I need you girls to do something for me.
15:49But I don't want you to ask any questions.
15:53Why don't you go to the Hamptons? I want you to stay there for the weekend.
15:56Richard, what is this about?
15:58You know, that's a question.
16:01Look, there might be a...
16:06an event that will make it very dangerous to stay in the city.
16:11What are you doing?
16:12Calling Ashley.
16:13No, no, no, no. You can't tell anybody.
16:15Okay? You can't tell anybody.
16:17You tell Ashley, he'll tell his parents that they'll call someone they love.
16:20And a panic will make this thing a thousand times harder to stop.
16:25Dad, he's my boyfriend.
16:26I know.
16:27Claire, you can't...
16:28Claire has nothing to do with it.
16:32But I need you to go. Now.
16:34Would you come too?
16:38I will when I can.
16:41But I need you to go.
16:45Now.
16:48Okay.
16:58I figured you could use the caffeine.
17:01And the warmth.
17:12Are you okay?
17:13Yeah.
17:19You ever wonder about Fallon?
17:21I mean, what this must be like for him, living this every day.
17:25I told Alexis and my mother to get out of town.
17:27I didn't tell them why, but they knew.
17:31They wanted to tell their friends, and I told them they couldn't.
17:36It felt like a monster.
17:39I mean, that must be some kind of hell,
17:43feeling that all the time.
17:49Kind of makes you wonder how many times this has happened since 9-1-1.
17:52Kind of makes you wonder how many times this has happened since 9-1-1.
17:55And we were the ones who didn't know.
18:01Beckett.
18:02Yeah, the McCann address is a dead end.
18:04Korean family lives here.
18:05They've been living here for the past four years.
18:07Did you search the place?
18:08Yeah, didn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary.
18:11But we did talk to a long-time neighbor,
18:13and they said the McCann family lived here, but it was over a decade ago.
18:16She seems to recall something about them having a son named Kevin,
18:19and he went in the military.
18:20Kevin McCann.
18:21Army Special Forces.
18:23Recipient of two Purple Hearts and a Distinguished Service Medal
18:25during his six tours in Afghanistan.
18:27Six tours?
18:29Military's stretched pretty thin these days.
18:31Doesn't make any sense.
18:33What's a war hero doing mixed up in a terrorist plot?
18:35Don't look at me, pal. It's your theory.
18:37Do they have an address listed?
18:42Arlington, Virginia.
18:45Kevin McCann, the real Kevin McCann, died a couple of years back
18:48at a VA hospital from complications of wounds he suffered during combat ops.
18:52Buried at Arlington with full honors.
18:54So someone stole his identity.
18:56It could be anyone,
18:58including a foreign agent.
19:05Run this through FBI and CIA official recognition databases
19:08all the way up to Interpol.
19:09I want to know everything we can about this guy.
19:11All right, so Tech tracked the phone that he's been using under the McCann name.
19:14Patrol units just found it in a dumpster. It's been wiped clean.
19:16We got an APB out on him, and we sent copies of his photo to everyone.
19:20Yo, teams are on their way to the taxi depot in the impound
19:23to pull prints from the cabs he drove.
19:25But with multiple drivers and passengers,
19:27there are gonna be hundreds of prints in each cab.
19:29It's gonna take some time.
19:30It's time we don't have.
19:31Why would he steal McCann's identity?
19:33I thought this guy was a crime novelist.
19:36I-I am.
19:38Well, then you should know that sometimes people who operate outside the law
19:40will take the social security number of a deceased individual
19:43and use it to forge a new identity.
19:45I know. I've done it three times in my books.
19:47What I'm saying is, why would he steal Kevin McCann's identity?
19:51Because it was convenient.
19:53Why was it convenient?
19:55I mean, the money that was deposited into Amir's account implicate him.
19:58We tracked it back to Afghanistan.
20:00McCann served in Afghanistan.
20:02Maybe there's a link.
20:03What kind of link?
20:04I don't know. Maybe...
20:06Maybe this guy wasn't just stealing the identity of some random dead guy.
20:10Maybe McCann is someone he knew, or someone he needed to be.
20:15Contact the Pentagon. Get everything you can on McCann.
20:17On it.
20:18His family used to live here. Are they still around?
20:20Parents are dead, but he's got a sister in Queens.
20:26Sorry about the mess. It's just, it's been hard since Doug left.
20:30Sweetie, just go play in your room.
20:33So, what happened?
20:35My dead B-dex got arrested again?
20:37Actually, Miss McCann, we're here about your brother.
20:42Yeah, I know him.
20:45It's Radford. Radford Hayes.
20:48He was in my brother's unit. They were best friends.
20:51He assumed your brother's identity.
20:54Do you have any idea why?
20:57No.
20:58How well did you know him?
21:00Mostly from my brother's letters.
21:03They were in the VA together.
21:05He was there with me when... when Kevin died.
21:09In his letters, did he ever display any animosity toward this country?
21:14Why is he asking me that?
21:16There's a possibility that Mr. Hayes is working with a set of extremists who are plotting against the U.S.
21:23No.
21:25Colleen?
21:29Radford took me out for a beer after Kevin died.
21:32And he was angry.
21:34Angry at how everyone stopped caring about the war.
21:38Like it wasn't even happening.
21:40Angry at the way politicians were treating soldiers like they were tissue paper to be used and thrown away.
21:49He thought the folks in Washington cared more about scoring political points than winning.
21:55He said that maybe what this country needed was another wake-up call.
22:02Maybe next time we'd get it right.
22:06Do you know where we can find him?
22:10No.
22:12All I have is his cell phone number.
22:20His phone's active, but it's old school. No native GPS.
22:23How long before you get a fix on him?
22:25I'll need a few minutes to triangulate off the cell towers.
22:27Do what you gotta do. Just don't let him know we're coming.
22:30Can't believe we're chasing one of our own.
22:32He's not wrong, you know.
22:34Used to be we go to war, everybody sacrifices, everybody pitches in.
22:37Now you don't even see it on the news.
22:39I'm not defending him. I'm just saying I understand the anger.
22:43Well, Amir is the perfect path. He has a background in weapons engineering.
22:46Ties to Syria, which is a hotbed for al-Qaeda recruiting.
22:50I mean, it has terrorists written all over it.
22:52And the money from his Afghanistan account.
22:54What if had people believing Taliban was involved?
22:56We're so programmed by fear.
22:58People are gonna believe exactly what Radford wants us to believe.
23:01That we were attacked again, and then they're gonna cry out for blood.
23:04Less than four hours.
23:06If we can't stop it, shouldn't we tell people?
23:09Tell them what? That a dirty bomb is gonna go off somewhere in Manhattan?
23:12You know the kind of panic that would create?
23:14No. Our only hope is to stop this thing.
23:17Let's just hope that we can.
23:19We got him. Let's roll.
23:21Let's roll.
23:38Hey!
23:43Get down! Get down! Get down!
23:46On your knees! On your knees!
23:48Interlock your fingers behind your head!
23:52Ready?
23:53Yeah.
23:56Tell me where it is.
23:58Where's the bomb?
23:59Where is it?
24:02Where's the bomb?
24:09This guy makes me sick.
24:10He's sworn off to defend this country.
24:12In his mind, he's a patriot.
24:14Yeah, like Tim McVeigh.
24:16Ryan contact DOD.
24:17See if you can get 20s on the guys he served with in Afghanistan.
24:20See if any of them are blown in the wind.
24:26You ready?
24:27Yeah.
24:28We break in.
24:30No matter what.
24:32Got it.
24:37Look, I know you're angry, and I understand.
24:40But what you're doing, what you're involved with...
24:44It's not the way.
24:47Redford, you're a soldier.
24:48The people in this city are not your enemies.
24:53I have no idea what you're talking about.
24:55Look, we know about you going up to the storage facilities in Washington Heights.
25:00And the warehouse.
25:02What about it?
25:03Well, we know that there was nuclear material in the storage facility.
25:07The bomb was assembled in the warehouse.
25:10So don't insult us and tell us you don't know anything about it.
25:13He's wasting his time.
25:15Why do you say that?
25:16We're special forces.
25:17We're trained for this.
25:18Never to give up information.
25:20Never to give up your position if you're captured.
25:23You can't break them.
25:24Not in time.
25:26Do you see yourself as a great hero?
25:30Doing this for a mighty cause?
25:33You think that's how people are going to see you?
25:35Because I'll tell you right now, brother.
25:38If you let this happen, you're going to go down in history as America's greatest mass murderer.
25:45Is that what you want?
25:47When this bomb goes off, do you think they're going to be looking at me?
25:53People will see this as an act of terrorism.
25:55So they will be looking for a terrorist.
25:59Not a patriot.
26:00Not one of their own.
26:01Is that what you think you are, a patriot?
26:03There's a word for people like you.
26:05It's not patriot.
26:07It's traitor.
26:08It's not patriot.
26:10It's traitor.
26:14The powers that be have no use for a traitor.
26:17So when they find their terrorist, and they will find their terrorist, what do you think will happen to me?
26:25Let me tell you.
26:26Because I know them.
26:27I know how they think.
26:29I will become a footnote in one of your files buried so far back no one will ever find it.
26:35Because anything more would be an inconvenience to their self-serving, rabble-rousing narrative.
26:41So why don't you do us all a favor?
26:44And just accept the inevitable.
26:52You think this is a joke?
26:53You think I'm playing with you?
26:55Where's the bomb?
27:00Where's the bomb?
27:01No!
27:02Where is it?
27:03Where's the target, Radcliffe?
27:04Lower your weapon, Fallon.
27:05Where's the target?
27:06Fallon!
27:07Lower your weapon, now!
27:08Not until he tells me what I want to hear.
27:11Where is it?
27:12Lower your weapon!
27:13Ready to go all in?
27:18I'm prepared to die for my country.
27:21Are you?
27:23Put down your weapon, now!
27:34No!
27:42Hey.
27:44I got that.
27:58He wasn't going to break, you know.
27:59If I had a couple of days, maybe a week, not in three hours.
28:03When he didn't have a break, I saw an opening, I took it.
28:05You violated his rights.
28:08I can think of probably a dozen federal lawyers that would disagree with that.
28:11He was never in any real danger.
28:13I removed the bullets from my clip.
28:15The gun wasn't even loaded.
28:16Well, mine was.
28:17Yeah, well, I was pretty sure you weren't going to shoot me.
28:20You know, next time I wouldn't be so sure.
28:25Detective, I understand that you probably hate me.
28:27You have every right to, both of you.
28:30My job isn't to make friends.
28:32It's to stop bad things from happening.
28:35And seeing as how we're just a couple of hours away from a major terrorist event,
28:39and we are basically back at square one,
28:43I could really use your help.
28:47Yes, sir.
28:58Man, does that guy take jackal lessons, or was he born that way?
29:02Neither.
29:04I asked my buddy at DHS about him.
29:08Turns out his wife was killed on 9-11.
29:12She wrote the second tower down.
29:15They were on the phone together when it happened.
29:25He's right.
29:28If we don't get Radford to talk, we're dead in the water.
29:34Maybe not.
29:35Okay, I need backpack detectors spread out to the ten most likely targets.
29:38Get the nest teams ready. Go.
29:41Where are we on Jamal and Amir's co-conspirators?
29:44Co-conspirators?
29:45Why? We know that they're patsies.
29:47Remember what Radford said about the bomb going off?
29:49He said we will find our terrorist.
29:51But with Jamal and Amir out of the picture...
29:53They're going to try to pin it on someone else.
29:54Somebody related to them both.
29:57Get locations on all known associates of Amir and Jamal al-Habi.
30:00I don't care if we've dismissed them before.
30:02Anybody of Middle Eastern origin or descent.
30:04Nazia. Amir's wife.
30:06Find her. Track her down. See if she'll cooperate.
30:09She trusts you. Maybe she can help us narrow down the list.
30:11On it.
30:21Beckett?
30:23That's from the surveillance guy.
30:28Nazia?
30:33Nazia!
30:35Nazia!
30:42She's gone.
30:43So is the kid.
30:45What?
30:46Found this on the table.
30:48Al-Akbar got his credit card.
30:51Al-Akbar got his credit card in my glory against the forces of the infidel.
30:56She's their new terrorist.
30:58They're going to have her set off the bomb.
31:02Uniforms are canvassing neighbors, but none of them saw the abduction.
31:05What about the traffic hands?
31:06I got teams out there, but with less than two hours left.
31:08There's no time to go through all the footage.
31:10Where's Montgomery?
31:11He's on the phone with one PP coordinating city emergency response teams.
31:14Just in case.
31:15Mobilize FEMA with full radiation protocol.
31:18Have them standing by to airlift him to the city.
31:20Yes, sir.
31:21We found her phone at the house. Family car is out in front.
31:24So we have no way to trace her.
31:26Yo, I got something.
31:28According to the DOD, most of the guys in Radford's unit are still deployed.
31:32I was able to locate all but two.
31:34Evan Bauer and Jack Cochran. Their families say they've been on a fishing trip since last week.
31:38What do we know about them?
31:39Well, Bauer is a weapons specialist, and Cochran did a tour and explosive ordnance disposal.
31:43An EOD guy would know how to build a bomb.
31:45Alright, get a team together.
31:47Crawl up these guys' asses with a microscope.
31:49Phone records, financials, anything. Get a location.
31:58What's wrong?
31:59We find these guys, you know what we're gonna see?
32:01Nothing.
32:03These aren't brainwashed, radicalized kids on a student visa.
32:06This is highly trained military.
32:08They're probably reading out of our playbook.
32:10Wait.
32:13We are running out of time.
32:17Get Ness in the air.
32:18Yes, sir.
32:19Maybe we'll get lucky.
32:21Ground teams can make a move.
32:26There, uh, there might be another way.
32:31But, uh, I don't think you're gonna like it.
32:41Hmm.
32:46Make the call.
32:55It's really very simple.
32:57Do what we ask, everybody lives.
32:59Don't do what we ask, everybody dies.
33:01It's as easy as that.
33:03You killed my husband, why should I believe you?
33:05Because I'm afraid you have no other choice.
33:07See the van?
33:08All you gotta do is drive it where we said,
33:10park it, and walk away.
33:12You do that for us, we'll return your baby,
33:14and we can all go on with our lives.
33:16But you should know, there's a camera on the driver's side.
33:19If you do anything stupid, we'll know.
33:22Not if you understand.
33:34Mr. Cassidy.
33:36Detective Beckett.
33:38So good to see you again.
33:40And Agent Fallon, your reputation precedes you.
33:43Does the Syrian consulate even know you're here?
33:48When last we met, Detective Beckett,
33:50you relieved me of my pistol.
33:52I thought now is a good time to retrieve it.
33:57Mr. Yosef, when we last met,
33:59you told me it was in your business to stay informed.
34:04I find in my business it's important
34:07to keep up with current events.
34:10And I'm sure that your country would do everything in its power
34:13to avoid a terrible misunderstanding
34:16if somehow Amir or his wife Naziha
34:18were mistakenly believed to be involved
34:21in an act of domestic terrorism.
34:26I would say it's in both our interests.
34:28You also mentioned that Amir was of special interest to you.
34:32We at the Syrian consulate wanted to make sure
34:35he liked his new home, so, yes.
34:38We checked in with him from time to time.
34:41And what about Naziha? Did you check in on her?
34:44Under the circumstances, we thought it would be appropriate
34:47to send our condolences.
34:49You had her under surveillance, didn't you?
34:51Where is she?
34:53Mr. Fallon, the Syrian consulate is strictly a diplomatic mission.
34:58I'm certainly not in the business of spying on U.S. citizens.
35:08However, if it were to happen by a red brick industrial building
35:13on the corner of 158th Street and Franklin,
35:16I do not think you'd be wasting your time.
35:19Now, if you'll excuse me,
35:21I have an appointment outside the city.
35:28SIREN BLARES
35:30GUNSHOTS
35:36That's our baby.
35:41The baby's fine.
35:43Where's Naziha? Guys?
35:45Over here.
35:58SIREN BLARES
36:04Camera frame is too tight. We can't tell where she is.
36:07No way to get in touch with her. Let her know her baby's all right.
36:10Well, I guess it's all up to him.
36:14He knows we're on a deadline, right?
36:16Yeah, he knows.
36:18I mean a literal deadline. As in, you go over the line, you're dead.
36:21Castle, can you just give him a chance?
36:23I'm happy to give him anything he needs.
36:26Alert all units. Target is in a black van. Repeat, a black van.
36:29They left for Times Square ten minutes ago.
36:31How'd you get him to talk? I lied.
36:33I told him Radford cut a deal implicating them both.
36:35I want checkpoints and barricades in Times Square.
36:37The chopper's in the air. Find that van.
36:39She just left ten minutes ago.
36:41There's a chance we can catch her before she gets there.
36:43Take Broadway or Riverside. We got Broadway.
36:46You should not have taken Broadway.
36:48It's the most direct route to Midtown.
36:50Yeah, but it's not the fastest. We should cut off the west end.
36:52Castle, would you please stop telling me how to drive?
36:54I'm not telling you how to drive. You are telling me how to drive.
36:56Nazia's husband was a cabbie. So?
36:58So Broadway slows down in the 70s through Midtown.
37:00She would know that the fastest way is west end to 11th,
37:02and then cut cross town on 48th.
37:04Okay, why 48th and not 46th?
37:06Because 46th has construction on it. Turn here.
37:08I don't know. I don't know.
37:10I don't know. I don't know.
37:12I don't know. I don't know.
37:14Turn here.
37:24Broadway.
37:26I'm turning around.
37:28No, no, no. Turn around. It's the wrong van.
37:30Castle, how do you know?
37:32There, there, there, there, there.
37:36It's her.
37:40Pull over.
37:42Nazia, pull over.
37:58Please, no. They have my baby.
38:00Nazia, no. We've got her. She's okay.
38:02She's okay. Beggin?
38:04Dispatch, this is 1-Lincoln-40.
38:06We found the bomb on 55th and 11th.
38:081-Lincoln-40, copy.
38:10Bomb squad is en route. ETA three minutes.
38:14Dispatch, that's about two minutes too late.
38:161-Lincoln-40, stand by.
38:24Fallon.
38:26Fallon, you have any idea how to defuse a bomb?
38:281-Lincoln-40, stand by.
38:30Fallon.
38:32Fallon, you have any idea how to defuse a bomb?
38:34One minute.
38:36We're on 55th and 11th.
38:38No, I'd have to see it. Can you send a picture?
38:40Yeah, yeah. Hold on.
38:44It's uploading right now.
38:4645 seconds.
38:48You got it?
38:50Yeah, it's opening now.
38:54Fallon?
38:56Hang on.
38:5830 seconds.
39:00Fallon?
39:02I can't see anything!
39:04Sorry.
39:06I'm sorry.
39:16Castle?
39:28Castle?
39:38Castle!
39:48Yes!
39:58Oh, you should have seen his face,
40:00because he stopped, he looked at me,
40:02he grabbed all the wires, and then he just yanked them.
40:06All of them?
40:08I figured one of them had to be the right one.
40:10You know, the mayor wants to give you guys a medal.
40:12I don't have the heart to tell him
40:14you had no clue what you were doing.
40:18Captain's right.
40:20You guys don't know how lucky you are.
40:24Actually,
40:26I do.
40:28Hmm.
40:32Can I talk to you two for a second?
40:44I just want you two to know
40:46the U.S. Attorney's Office is going to be charging them
40:48with multiple counts of conspiracy to commit terror.
40:50Thanks to you two,
40:52we won't have to add the murder of innocent New Yorkers
40:54to that allegation.
40:56Well, we were just doing our job.
40:58Actually, I was doing my job. I don't know what the hell he was doing.
41:00Hey, hey, that's true.
41:02Listen, um,
41:04what I do
41:06is not who I am.
41:10It's just how I have to be.
41:12I hope you both understand that.
41:14Why don't we just say it was a pleasure
41:16and that we hope that we don't have to do it again?
41:18Fair enough.
41:20If it does happen again, though,
41:22maybe you could just text me.
41:24Have a code word. Run.
41:30Hell of a day, huh?
41:32Hell of a day.
41:34You know,
41:36I was thinking.
41:40I was thinking maybe
41:44I should go home,
41:46get some rest.
41:48Long day.
41:50Good night.
41:54Good night.
41:58Okay.
42:18Good night.
42:48Good night.
