A pastry.
Call me, honey.
Someone sent me these photos of you
and I'm getting these texts from friends and family.
I--what the hell is going on?
Monica Dillon.
Police sergeant, soccer coach,
mom to two boys, Zachary and Marshall.
I think Zachary is five and Marshall is seven.
How many more is it gonna take, Kelsey?
- Look, I really want to help you.
I really do. I--I do.
Yeah, yeah.
You've been saying that for months.
Meanwhile...
people keep having their lives ruined.
More importantly, people keep dying.
Is it because he's still in there?
Is Ed still in there, Kelsey?
- No. - No?
Well, that's what people are saying.
They're saying that you are still covering for a traitor.
Prove them wrong and help me bring him in.
Because if you keep sitting there,
biting your lip and shaking your head
and saying, "I don't know," or "I'm not sure,"
I'm done.
And then the next victim,
their death will be on you.
OK.
I'll do it. I'll do it.
OK.
- Um, what's the plan here, Agent Booth?
Am I going to be on my-- on my own?
- No. I'm going to be with you every step of the way.
Yeah, but you won't.
You literally can't 'cause Ed is always watching me.
- Well, he's up against the FBI now, so...
- But how are we going to pull it off?
Because even if I get him talking,
there is no way I'll convince him
to meet me back here in-- in the U.S.
Not here.
Budapest.
I know a guy.
Look at this guy.
I can't believe they let you into this country.
They let you in, didn't they?
- It's been way too long, dude. - Yeah.
You don't call me or text me anymore.
It's 'cause I don't like you.
- You know that. You good?
- Yeah. You know, I'm living the dream.
- Charlotte, how's she doing? - She's actually good.
She just started her freshman year at Bucknell.
Let me tell you something.
Knocking up your high school girlfriend
does have its own set of challenges,
but empty nest at 38, not too bad.
- I'll take your word for it. - What about you and Ella?
Any nuptials planned?
Because I'm not seeing a wedding band.
- No way. We went belly-up.
That's actually half the reason why I took
the gig running the Fly Team. - I'm just going to say it.
You keep on waiting for the perfect woman--
- Oh, here we go, with your don't wait to have kids speech.
I'm serious, man.
Charlotte's the best thing that ever happened to me.
You want a beer? - No. I'm good.
I'm good.
How did you end up flipping Haskins' ex-wife?
- Well, he was texting her nonstop,
so I thought, "Let's try a dangle op."
And she finally came around after that Florida cop
took her own life.
- The three cops who committed suicide before that
didn't do it for her?
- Don't even get me started on that.
So since Kelsey's still technically
an unindicted co-conspirator,
travel would have been problematic,
so I had to pitch both Justice and State on this op
being the best chance we had of luring the son of a bitch
out of Moscow. They signed off.
Had her put in a request to come to Budapest
for a fake family funeral.
She texts Haskins, pretending to rekindle things.
Here we are.
Once Kelsey lands, Haskins says
he's going to sneak out of Russia and meet up with her.
OK, what about Kelsey?
Does she have her head on straight?
Straight enough.
I'm not going to lie to you.
There was...
some hesitancy getting her out here,
but some sources need the rolled-up newspaper
once in a while, right?
When do I get to meet the crew?
Now. - Great.
Don't look at me like that. It's happy hour in Charleston.
Yeah, but we're in Budapest.
- So this is what you get when you make GS-14?
- No, this thing was here when I got here.
Yeah, right.
- You know if this case breaks the right way,
you could end up GS-14 yourself.
- Hey. - Morning.
- You know I don't care about any of that.
I'm a case agent, not a blue flamer.
I'm going to grab a desk,
get ready to run the case for everyone.
Hey, Amanda, can you make sure that Booth is CC'd
on all comms with HQ going forward?
The more visibility for him on this one, the better.
- Will do. - Morning.
- Hey. Tyler Booth.
- Megan Garretson. - Nice to meet you.
- Andre Raines. How's it going?
- Tyler Booth. What's going on?
- This is Tank. - Hey, Tank.
Hi.
- Cameron Vo. - Tyler.
Hapa? - Yes. What's your mix?
- Korean and Irish. What's yours?
- Cool. Half Viet, half white.
- Nice to meet you. - Welcome aboard.
- Thank you. - All right, guys.
Listen up.
Tyler and I have worked together before,
and I'm proud to call this guy a friend.
He's front and center of a heater case
that he caught for the Bureau.
This is going to be a top priority for us going forward.
All right. It's all yours.
- Yeah. Thanks, Wes.
All right, guys. Ed Haskins.
Guessing some of you have heard of him.
Former member, Charleston PD.
Current member of the FBI Most Wanted list.
After getting kicked off the force for misconduct,
he tried to extort his former supervisors.
That went over about as well as you'd think.
Before we could prosecute him, he bolted,
making his way up through Canada,
into Russia, where he received asylum.
The Kremlin, of course, then fed his paranoia
and persecution complex sunlight and water,
fashioning him into a major player
in their propaganda machine.
Since then, he's been dumping classified documents,
painting American officials as crooked,
specifically law enforcement.
- This guy couldn't make it as a cop.
He's been taking it out on them ever since.
- Yeah, Cyber Division said his setup
was a WMD of disinformation.
He's leaked real surveillance logs,
corruption case files, whistleblower complaints.
I mean, you name it.
- Well, if these documents are the real deal,
why does he have access?
- He leans on cops to get these reports,
strong-arming them with pictures, videos,
sometimes stolen from the cloud,
sometimes deepfaked.
Either way, the kind of imagery
that follows you around for the rest of your life.
There have been suicides.
Can you throw it up there?
He even dropped a classified mission briefing
exposing an undercover DEA agent in Bogota.
Four hours later, this agent's handler found him dead.
- Well, we can't just go to Moscow and cuff him.
No.
- Which is why I flipped his ex-wife, Kelsey.
She is luring him to Budapest.
- The BAU says Haskins is a malignant narcissist,
but his genuine, borderline pathological affection
for Kelsey is his one blind spot.
- So if somehow Kelsey magically gets a passport,
you don't think that'll raise Haskins' suspicions?
- He knows about me, but he doesn't know about you.
- Haskins is a world-class surveillance expert.
He's able to activate Kelsey's cell as a microphone.
And once I got hip to it,
I would always have her leave the phone in the car.
Otherwise, speaking with Kelsey is next to impossible.
You have an operational plan?
Yeah.
I'm looking at my operational plan.
OK, any visible tail from us,
this whole op is going to be cooked.
Amanda, you got to loop in the analysts.
Let's keep in mind this guy has ruined lives.
He's ruined families.
Every member of every division of U.S. law enforcement
wants his ass nailed to a wall.
We have the privilege of holding the hammer.
It's not going to be easy. Zero margin for error.
Kelsey's touching down in 30.
- All right, let's get cracking on surveillance.
Anything yet?
- She's approaching the vehicle.
Hi. Welcome to Budapest.
Thanks.
Um, Hotel Danube, please. - Mm-hmm.
So Agent Booth.
Anyone know what his story is?
- I only know what Mitchell told us earlier.
- He and Mitchell were at Montrose together.
For what that's worth.
- Who told you that? - Nobody.
I looked into him.
Details are classified because OPR got involved.
Booth definitely took the worst of it.
His career has been stuck in neutral ever since.
Here we are.
Kelsey's arriving at the hotel.
Copy that.
Cash, credit?
Uh, credit, please.
Have a nice day.
Thank you.
Here we go.
All right, we're going to be able to talk freely in here.
Kelsey, this is Agent Mitchell.
Agent Mitchell, this is Kelsey.
What's wrong?
Uh, my--my anxiety pills.
They confiscated them at customs, Heathrow.
I--I need them.
I'm going to get you a new prescription, all right?
It's going to be fine. It's going to be totally fine.
OK?
Kelsey.
What, um--what's happening?
- I'm sorry, but I don't think I can do this.
- No. Kelsey, look at me.
We're not doing this dance again, all right?
We're going to shake it off. It's big girl time now, right?
OK? You understand-- - Tyler.
Would you just give us a second?
OK, listen.
Sometimes she needs her hand held a little bit.
- Well, that looked more like a rolled-up newspaper.
- OK, I don't-- I don't need the pep talk.
What are we doing out here?
- I'm going to go talk to Kelsey.
You're going to chill out. - What?
This is my case. It's my case. You just got kissed into it.
- Kissed in? - Yeah.
- I'm not trying to take the case from you, Ty.
- No, you aren't, but you are telling me you're in charge.
That's right, because I am.
So you're going to chill out.
- Is that an order? - Yeah, that is an order.
Because of everything that we have been through
and everything I know I owe you, stand down.
You copy?
- Yeah, I copy. - Good.
- I want to be clear here, Kelsey.
You and I are starting fresh, OK?
OK.
- Look, Agent Booth is understandably
just really invested in this whole thing.
- Yeah, so am I. It's my life.
You're right.
And while Agent Booth is trying to bring justice
for all the victims' families,
it occurs to me that there's one victim here
that we have forgotten about in all of this,
and that's you.
Now, I know you were promised a $250,000 cooperation payment
upon Ed's arrest, right?
What if we offer you a $50k source payment up-front,
no strings attached?
I heard you lost your condo.
You have legal fees, I imagine.
Yeah.
That would help.
OK, then it's done.
- I am just wondering how I got here.
A week before the allegations came out,
we were seeing fertility doctors.
And now--now look at me.
Help me bring him in,
it's going to turn your whole life around, I promise you.
You're going to be a hero.
OK? - OK.
- Look, I know you're scared, OK?
But me, Agent Booth, my team,
we are going to be watching your every move.
Yeah.
So will Ed.
- How's that dorm room? - It's all right.
But my roommate's boyfriend basically lives here.
He keeps eating all my ramen. - Oh, yeah?
Put him on the phone. I'll clear that up real quick.
It's fine.
How's your case going?
It's a little bit of a power struggle,
but I have faith.
- You really think this could be your way
back in with your bosses?
- We'll see. - Don't worry about me.
- You know I'll always worry about you.
Yeah.
OK, I gotta bounce. I love you. - Love you, too, Dad.
- Kelsey's back on board. - That's great to hear.
You good? - Yeah.
- Good. I'm good too. Let's go.
- Chill out. - All right.
Tate's working another angle,
but we're mirroring everything that goes through her phone.
He's on a burner.
- Remind me to knee this guy in the nuts.
- Tallinn is right next to the Russian border.
- OK, we're resetting our trap for Estonia.
- That's what I'm talking about.
- I'll alert the U.S. ambassador
as well as the Estonians.
Hold that thought, Smitty.
I don't like that look.
- If Haskins is coming up for air,
then he's going to be easily spooked.
He'll be tapped into police channels.
Yeah, right.
It would be really great to be able to roll in there
without a trumpet announcing the flight team's arrival.
Yeah, be that as it may,
operating in Tallinn without Estonia's permission
would be grounds for an Interpol Red Notice.
Not if they don't find out.
- Wes, without Estonia's involvement,
even if we take Haskins into custody,
it wouldn't be an arrest.
It would technically be a kidnapping.
- All right, then it's a kidnapping then.
Let's kidnap him all the way to Gitmo.
OK, Smitty, I know you guys
have a different set of rules out here,
but there's a time and a place to play by them.
Now ain't it.
Let me have this one. You get the next 50.
Next 500.
And I am keeping tabs.
- OK. Celeste, get Kelsey booked to Tallinn.
The rest of us are taking the show on the road.
Let's go.
- Can I talk to you for a second?
We're about to run a covert rendition
into Estonian territory.
I would like to know who is calling the shots.
- I am. Tyler's the case agent.
I outrank him. We're his operational support.
Why don't you ask your question, Cam?
- I know you two were at Montrose together.
Why did OPR come down on him?
- Because when the raid went sideways,
the Bureau wanted a fall guy and Tyler made it easy on them.
Why do you owe him?
Because it feels like that is what is going on here.
- When I was clearing the compound,
one of Cerullo's guys got the drop on me.
I heard a hammer click right behind me,
and I thought that was it.
Tyler had my back.
I wouldn't be here right now.
Well, look, I like the guy.
But we are risking all of our careers
because what, he did his job and he took out a hostile?
- No, we're doing all this because we have a chance
to nail Ed Haskins, who's a traitor
with American blood on his hands.
And that's the end of it.
- Kelsey's checking into the hotel right now.
Any updates on Haskins?
- Always dangerous to take him at his word,
but he says he's out of Russia and on his way here.
- Ernesto, where are we on the blockchain?
- I've looped in Criminal Division to help sift through
his aliases and associated crypto accounts.
One of his dummy names purchased a flight to Thailand
routed through Istanbul, but...
- Seems too clean. - Agreed.
Flight logs show he never boarded the first leg.
- Amanda, it looks like one of his texts to Kelsey
was accidentally sent through an unencrypted public network.
Wi-Fi aboard a Russian train.
But their rail lines don't extend into Estonia
because of the war.
- So he trains it to the border but has to switch horses.
Hmm.
- Estonian border guard would have a record
of all foot traffic.
Do we have access to the database?
- Not officially, but unofficially.
- He crossed over on foot under a fraudulent passport.
- I just matched that passport to a car rental.
License plate GWR-349.
Seems like he's staying off of CCTV for now though.
- OK, initiate a full-grid search.
All hands on deck.
He's bouncing her around.
Copy that.
Heading back to you.
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
Move your hand away from that gun, or you're dead.
Who are you?
Megan Garretson, Europol.
- If this goes bad in any way, you're dead in every scenario.
You are also Europol?
Now lower your gun.
- Lieutenant Sergei Kass, Estonian Federal Police.
What the hell are you doing here?
I can explain.
- My people should have been alerted
long before American authorities
touched down in Tallinn!
There will be severe consequences.
- Lieutenant, can we have a discussion before you
do something drastic?
- I would have recommended a discussion before
breaking international law, Agent Mitchell.
- Lieutenant Kass, we were reluctant
to alert your people due to a sensitivity
surrounding our case.
We are pursuing an American turncoat
and current Russian cyber asset.
If we had CC'd proper channels,
he would likely have got wind of it,
thus undercutting our efforts to apprehend him.
- You're saying that a Russian asset
is presently operating in Estonia?
I am.
- Estonia was hit by a massive hack
from our Russian neighbors in 2007.
A chance to settle the score with the Kremlin
and knock one of their pawns off the board
certainly changes things.
- So you're not going to kick us out of the country?
Far from it.
My team will assist the FBI in your case,
and our involvement will be classified.
In exchange for?
Seeing Russia bleed.
Additionally, it would be most appreciated if the FBI
provide us with portable IMSI catchers,
the type your field agents use.
Our networks are being hit hard by criminal syndicates.
We need to track their communications in real time.
Lastly, access to your facial recognition database,
the one with the biometric data
from your international partners.
Could you be more specific?
- In return, we'll make sure your presence here
remains off the books for 24 hours.
Agreed.
Nice work, Smitty. Pint's on me.
- Uh, actually, yeah, I don't need a pint.
Um, what I need is for you to listen to me
before you decide to go off half-cocked.
We've just got a hit on Haskins' rental.
- The car was seen pulling into a condo building
30 minutes ago.
We're just missing the connection to Haskins.
- The complex houses several vacation rentals.
- Wait, one of Haskins' aliases booked a one-night stay.
- Timestamp says five minutes ago.
Haskins hasn't left yet.
- Unit 518. He's still inside.
Move in.
He's not here.
- No fire escape. No possible other exit.
What are we missing here?
- Maybe that building was recently modded.
I-I'll keep looking.
- This footage has been altered.
Look, micro-aliasing on the face,
and the angle of the sunlight--
- Doesn't match the time of day.
This was previously recorded and added to the system.
Haskins deepfaked himself onto someone else's body.
- That's Haskins. He knows we're after him.
And not just Tyler, all of us.
What's up?
He went after Charlotte.
- What? - Haskins.
He's saying that he...
dug up some pictures of her.
If we don't drop back, he's going to leak
everything that he has.
- I want my hands around on Haskins' throat,
and I want him dead in a ditch! - I know, man. I know.
I know. We got to keep moving forward.
- We can't take our shot and miss, Wes,
because I can't be the reason that--
I can't fail her.
It's Charlotte.
Hey, sweetheart.
- Dad? - Hey, baby.
- Did he text you? - He did.
And Dad's going to take care of it.
This is the guy you're investigating?
It is, but I don't want you to worry.
Dad...
don't look at the pictures.
- I'm not going to. Nobody's going to.
I promise you that.
Are your friends there with you?
I want them to stay with you, OK?
And I want you to call your mother.
Have her come over. I don't want you to be alone.
All right?
Please stop this guy.
I swear on my life.
All right?
Daddy's gotta go, but I love you very much.
OK.
What's the latest from Haskins to Kelsey?
- She texted him asking if they were still
on to meet at Viru Gate in an hour.
He said he was having second thoughts
and he'd reach out tomorrow.
We don't have until tomorrow.
- How can we be sure that Haskins is legit?
We can't.
We can flip the script.
We can beat him at his own game.
- What if she texts that she's finally over him?
Nice, yeah.
- Except he knows we're on to him.
Is he really going to stick his neck out?
- I guarantee you he thinks he can still outsmart us.
- Yeah, and we know that Kelsey is his kryptonite.
If she says it's over, he might just move up his timeline.
- Hey, Amanda, any levers you can pull
so I can talk to Kelsey in person?
- I was toying with something along those lines.
I can temporarily disable her phone's mic.
- Wouldn't Haskins suspects something?
We can chalk it up to a software update,
but if you take too long,
he'll likely see through the ruse.
- OK. Let's go.
- Copy. We're on our way.
Hey, you and me,
we're going to go talk to Kelsey.
- If Haskins presses send on those photos of my daughter,
he's not making it out of this alive.
Just trust me.
This sounds so stupid.
I've never really challenged Ed.
Our divorce was even done through proxies.
He targeted my daughter.
- Oh, I'm so sorry. - Yeah.
Charlotte never did anything to anyone,
and that scumbag brought her into this.
OK.
- Getting a sense this isn't an act.
- Years of built-up trauma finally getting air.
Let him hear it.
So what now?
We wait.
OK.
- All right, come on. Take the bait.
Yes.
OK.
I can do this.
If he sees me, it'll draw him out.
After what he did to your daughter,
I want to see his face when you arrest him.
Hey, Wes?
Haskins is trying to access Kelsey's microphone.
He's in. Get out of there.
Amanda, what's he saying?
- He's at a restaurant in the passage.
Says to meet him there.
- One of my men has Haskins in his sights.
Request backup at the restaurant.
- Hey, hey. Where was this guy sitting?
I swear to you--
Wes, Haskins spoofed Kass' frequency.
That tip from his officer, that was Haskins.
And we bit on it.
Kelsey's gone. - Define gone.
- My surveillance team lost contact.
- I tried tracing Kelsey's phone,
but it's gone dark. - Amanda, we've got CCTV.
Do we have any CCTV due east?
Punch in on the face.
Kelsey played us.
Bluetooth just paired.
Sending over the coordinates now.
Drop a pin.
I'm rolling with. - No, you can't.
I don't trust you with Haskins. Stay with him.
- Turn off the car, and drop the keys out the window!
- Get out of the vehicle! Get down on the pavement!
Show us your hands now!
Show me your hands.
Get out of the car, or I'm going to drag you out.
- Stop! You're hurting me!
You're hurting me.
- Shut your mouth! That's for Charlotte Booth.
Get him up. Let's go.
Get him out of here.
- If you can't get him to flip, just take a walk.
Blame it on the language barrier.
Where the hell are we, Estonia? You don't speak Estonian.
You got your doors mixed up. I'll take it from there.
- Hey. What's up?
- We've been digging through Haskins' devices.
Wes, there's remote access to his bot farm.
We can kill it and all of his blackmail material remotely.
OK, what's the bad news?
- It requires Haskins' admin password.
And if we can't pry it out of him,
his blackmail threats are set to go wide in two hours,
including Charlotte's.
OK.
I--I didn't mean to--
I just can't say no to him.
- We know. We were prepared for that.
- Agent Booth had your meds pulled at Heathrow
and replaced them with these.
Ingestible GSP trackers inside,
just in case you tried something.
They should pass through your system in a day or so.
- I just got into the car to hear him out.
- Yeah, well, getting in that car
cost you the next 50 years of your life.
Oh.
I am prepared to make a deal.
I can give you the bot farm.
My password will trigger a kill switch.
- OK, I'm going to call the DOJ in regards to your sentencing.
- No, no, this-- this will be my sentencing.
12-4-6-9--you might want to write this down--
Cedar Creek Road.
My family's property outside Fort Benton.
30 acres.
You put Kelsey and I there under house arrest,
you'll never hear from me again.
No Wi-Fi, not a keystroke.
I assume Agent Booth is in no hurry
to have me disseminate his daughter's photos.
- Ed, you're going to give us everything you promised
and serve your time.
You see, you didn't really think
about Kelsey's involvement in all of this, did you?
She wasn't involved.
- Aiding and abetting, obstruction of justice,
conspiracy, espionage. - What?
- Don't forget acting as an agent for a foreign power.
- And all of those stack, so that's, what, 50 years?
Easy.
Nice try.
But she was halfway across the world.
You can't connect her to anything.
Yeah, we couldn't.
Until she got in your car this afternoon.
- Ed, you know the case that we've been building
against you this whole time?
Now Kelsey's an accomplice, so everything rolls on her too.
No.
No, no, no.
I forced her to run off with me.
Kelsey didn't do anything.
Ed...
a big reason why I got in that car with you
is because part of me...
Still believes in you.
Still believes in the man that I fell in love with
at senior year at the Peachtree Dance.
Do you remember what we had?
What we shared?
Ed, I haven't asked for very much...
but I am asking for something now.
Please don't let them put me in prison.
Please.
- Hello? - Charlotte.
We got him, baby. It's over.
- Ed is headed back to the States for his sentencing.
And--and--and me?
You're free to go.
- The 50 years? - Nullified.
It seems your ex-husband grew a heart.
Or at least one big enough to cover for you.
- We're arranging your travel back home,
and you can keep the money we gave you up front.
Wait, I can?
- You drove it 99 yards, Kelsey.
On the road, in the mud.
So you fumbled on the one-yard line,
but you helped the FBI get our man.
- He's officially out of your life.
Chin up.
Move on.
- OK. - Mm.
- OK. Thank you. Bye.
- Was that Charlotte? - No, Deputy Director Adell.
- For real? - Yeah.
He just thanked me for everything.
He even knew that I flipped Kelsey,
that it was all my idea.
I didn't even know HQ was tracking me on this thing.
It meant a lot, getting that call.
- You know, I know you're not big on the whole PR thing,
but you deserve this.
Take the credit.
- Yeah, the topic of my next assignment came up.
What's it going to be?
- Adell offered me a temporary duty
for 90 days on the Fly Team until I figure it out.
You cool with that?
- Yeah, man. Absolutely.
- Good, 'cause I could use the break.
- Hold--hold on. Wait a sec, Ty.
Working on the Fly Team is not a break.
- I know. You know what I mean though.
- No, I don't know what you mean.
Listen to me.
I believe in you.
This is your shot to turn your whole career around.
You saved my ass, and I can return the favor here,
but you got to meet me halfway, man.
I know that you can be GS-14.
But you got to be all-in.
So what do you want to do?
Can I give you a hug?
- Oh, my God. - Hey, I hear you, brother.
Offer accepted. Thank you.
- All right. - All right.
- What's the drive to beat here?
- Uh, today? 303.
- 303? Yeah, ri--
303.
Don't hurt yourself.
- Just go. Just run.
- Oh! - No. No, get out now.
Leave. Nah, you're fired.
Don't do that.
