- YOU ARE BEING WATCHED.
THE GOVERNMENT HAS A SECRET SYSTEM.
A MACHINE.
IT SPIES ON YOU EVERY HOUR OF EVERY DAY.
I KNOW BECAUSE I BUILT IT.
I DESIGNED THE MACHINE TO DETECT ACTS OF TERROR,
BUT IT SEES EVERYTHING.
VIOLENT CRIMES INVOLVING ORDINARY PEOPLE.
PEOPLE LIKE YOU.
CRIMES THE GOVERNMENT CONSIDERED IRRELEVANT.
THEY WOULDN'T ACT SO I DECIDED I WOULD.
BUT I NEEDED A PARTNER.
SOMEONE WITH THE SKILLS TO INTERVENE.
HUNTED BY THE AUTHORITIES,
WE WORK IN SECRET.
YOU WILL NEVER FIND US.
BUT VICTIM OR PERPETRATOR,
IF YOUR NUMBER'S UP,
WE'LL FIND YOU.
[electronics buzzing]
[tires screech]
[phone rings]
- YEAH?
- WE'VE GOT A PROBLEM.
[static, indistinct chatter]
- WHAT'S GOOD HERE?
- THAT WON'T WORK, MR. REESE.
- WHAT WON'T?
- YOUR INTERROGATION TECHNIQUE.
- WHAT'S GOOD HERE?
IT'S AN INNOCENT QUESTION.
- NO QUESTION IS EVER INNOCENT FROM YOU.
YOU'RE TRYING TO DETERMINE WHETHER I COME HERE OFTEN.
ARMED WITH THAT KNOWLEDGE,
YOU'LL TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHERE I LIVE.
- YOU'RE PARANOID, FINCH.
- WITH GOOD REASON.
- MAYBE I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOOD HERE
SO I'M ASKING THE REGULAR.
- ENJOY YOUR MEAL, MR. REESE.
- SAMUEL GATES.
THE NEXT NUMBER ON YOUR LIST.
- BUS IS HERE!
- SO WHAT DO WE HAVE ON HIM?
- BORN IN SOUTH BOSTON.
LAW DEGREE FROM NYU.
HE LIVES ON THE UPPER WEST SIDE WITH HIS SON, SAM.
- WHERE'S THE WIFE?
- SHE DIED LAST YEAR.
- ANY CHANCE GATES WAS INVOLVED?
- NOT UNLESS HE FOUND A WAY TO GIVE HER CANCER.
ELIZABETH GATES WAS DIAGNOSED
WITH AN INOPERABLE BRAIN TUMOR LAST APRIL.
BY NOVEMBER SHE WAS GONE.
- SO THE SON IS ALL HE HAS LEFT.
- WAIT! - OH, DON'T FORGET YOUR LUNCH.
- WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT THE NANNY?
- CHRISTINA ROJAS.
GATES HIRED HER WHEN HIS WIFE FELL ILL.
- THE KID SURE LIKES HER.
- SHE SPENDS A LOT OF TIME WITH HIM.
JUDGING BY THE HOURS SHE'S BILLING,
I'D SAY GATES WAS PUTTING IN LONG DAYS AT THE OFFICE.
- HE LOST THE WOMAN HE LOVED.
PROBABLY THREW HIMSELF INTO HIS WORK TO COPE.
WHERE'S HIS OFFICE?
- CRIMINAL COURT, CITY OF NEW YORK.
WHICH MAY EXPLAIN WHY THE MACHINE
HAS SENT US HIS SOCIAL.
- ABSOLUTELY NOT.
THIS IS DIRECT EVIDENCE, PROPERLY OBTAINED.
- SO ODDS ARE HE'S THE VICTIM, NOT THE PERPETRATOR.
- JUDGES GET PLENTY OF DEATH THREATS.
- IT DOESN'T PASS THE BALANCING TEST, YOUR HONOR.
THE PROBATIVE VALUE IS--
- I KNOW WHAT THE BALANCING TEST IS, COUNSELOR.
- GATES GETS MORE DEATH THREATS THAN MOST.
WORD AT THE COURTHOUSE IS
HE'S WAGING A ONE-MAN WAR ON CRIME--
TOUGH, BY-THE-BOOK, MAKING LOTS OF ENEMIES.
- IF VIDEO OF THE ACTUAL CRIME IS UNFAIRLY PREJUDICIAL,
I THINK WE MIGHT HAVE TO GIVE UP
ON THE ENTIRE CONCEPT OF TRIAL BY JURY.
THE VIDEO'S IN.
- EVERYONE HAS ENEMIES.
THE MACHINE IDENTIFIES MALICE AND AN INTENT TO HARM.
WE NEED TO DETERMINE WHICH THREAT IT SAW,
WHICH ONE IS REAL.
- UNTIL WE KNOW,
MY BEST BET IS TO STAY CLOSE TO GATES,
IN CASE SOMEBODY MAKES A MOVE.
[computer beeps]
LOOKS LIKE HE'S GOT QUITE A COLLECTION OF ENEMIES.
- MR. REESE, ANY SIGN OF A THREAT?
- DOES CHOLESTEROL COUNT?
- I'M NEARLY DONE ANALYZING THE THREATENING LETTERS.
THERE ARE NINE THAT I STILL CAN'T SOURCE,
BUT I'VE IDENTIFIED SIX POSSIBLE SUSPECTS.
- ANY OF THEM WHITE GUYS WITH CREW CUTS?
- NOT THAT I'M AWARE OF.
[tense music]

[phone beeps]
- FINCH, WHAT'S THE SON'S NAME AGAIN?
- SAMUEL GATES, JUNIOR.
WHY?
- I THINK WE'VE BEEN FOLLOWING THE WRONG SAM GATES.
- HEY, CHRISTINA.
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BELIEVE
WHAT MARK C. SAID TO MRS. KIZER TODAY.
[muffled speech]
[tires screech]
- [struggling]
- [grunting]
[silenced gunshot]
[static, indistinct chatter]
- I CAN'T BE THERE ON TIME IF I'M GETTING BAD INFORMATION.
- THE MACHINE DID NOT SEND US THE WRONG NUMBER.
IF IT SAYS THAT JUDGE GATES IS IN DANGER, THEN HE IS.
- WELL, TELL THAT TO HIS SON.
- THE KIDNAPPING MUST CONNECT.
IT COULD BE THE FIRST STEP IN A LARGER PLOT
THAT ENDS WITH THE JUDGE DEAD.
WE CAN STILL PUT A STOP TO IT, ALL OF IT.
BUT WE NEED A PLAN.
- I HAVE A PLAN.
FIND SAM.
THE MAN JUST LOST HIS WIFE.
I WON'T LET HIM WIND UP ALONE.
[cocks gun]
[phone rings]
- JUDGE GATES.
- DAD? - HEY, SAM.
- DAD...
- WHAT'S WRONG?
- HE'S FINE, YOUR HONOR... FOR NOW.
- WHO ARE YOU?
WHERE IS MY SON?
- NO COPS, NO FEDS.
TELL ANYONE AND HE'S DEAD.
KEEP QUIET AND YOU'LL HEAR FROM US TONIGHT.
- WAIT, LOOK... WE CAN HANDLE THIS OURSELVES.
JUST TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT.
- [hangs up, dial tone]
- [dials number]
- [over recording] THIS IS SAM, LEAVE A MESSAGE.
- HI, UH, CHRISTINA, THIS IS JUDGE GATES.
PLEASE! CALL ME BACK.
HI, UH, THIS IS JUDGE GATES. IS SAM THERE WITH DANIEL?
- NO, IS EVERYTHING OKAY?
- OH, GOD.
- LET'S FIGURE OUT HOW WE GET YOUR SON BACK.
- WHO ARE YOU?
- I'M HERE TO HELP YOU.
- WHERE IS SAM?
WHERE IS MY SON?
YOU'RE WITH THE KIDNAPPERS, AREN'T YOU?
YOU'RE ONE OF THEM.
- NO, I TRIED TO STOP THEM.
BUT THE KIDNAPPERS MADE CONTACT.
THAT'S GOOD.
THAT MEANS THEY WANT TO NEGOTIATE.
THEY WON'T HURT YOUR SON AS LONG AS HE'S WORTH SOMETHING.
- WHAT DO YOU MEAN, YOU TRIED TO STOP THEM?
YOU WERE THERE?
- I WAS.
BUT NOT SOON ENOUGH.
- HOW DID YOU KNOW THEY WERE GOING TO TAKE HIM?
WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?
- YOU HAVE TWO QUESTIONS RIGHT NOW:
WHO ARE YOU AND WHERE IS MY SON?
WHICH ONE DO YOU WANT TO FOCUS ON?
[static, indistinct chatter]
- THEY WERE IN MY HOUSE.
HOW'D THEY GET PAST THE ALARM?
- I'VE TAPPED YOUR PHONE
AND I'M SETTING UP SURVEILLANCE ON YOUR STREET.
IT'S OUR BEST SHOT AT I.D.ing THE KIDNAPPERS.
- WHERE'S CHRISTINA?
SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE HERE WHEN HE GOT HOME.
- I DIDN'T SEE HER.
COULD SHE BE IN ON IT?
- THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE.
SHE LOVED SAM.
- JUDGE...
HAVE YOU RECEIVED ANY KIDNAPPING THREATS?
TRIED ANY CASES INVOLVING KIDNAPPERS?
- I HAVE ABOUT $300,000 IN THE BANK.
IF THIS IS ABOUT MONEY, I CAN PAY.
- WHATEVER THIS IS ABOUT, I'M GOING TO FIND YOUR SON.
AND I'M GOING TO BRING HIM HOME.
STAY HERE AND WAIT FOR THE NEXT CALL.
- THEY SAID NO COPS, NO FBI.
- THEY DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT ME.
OKAY, FINCH.
YOU SHOULD HAVE AUDIO ON HIS LANDLINE
AND VIDEO OF THE STREET OUTSIDE GATES' HOUSE.
- I WANT TO SAVE THAT BOY AS MUCH AS YOU DO,
BUT REMEMBER, MR. REESE--
WE DON'T NEED A JUDGE ASKING QUESTIONS
ABOUT WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE DO.
- I CAN'T WORK A KIDNAPPING FROM ARM'S LENGTH.
I'LL WORRY ABOUT GATES ONCE WE GET SAM BACK.
WHERE ARE WE ON THE KIDNAPPERS?
ANY LUCK TRACING THEIR CALL?
- I'M AFRAID NOT.
IT WAS VOICE-OVER I.P., ANONYMIZED THROUGH THE INTERNET.
- WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER PHONE?
THE ONE THE SPOTTER THREW IN THE TRASH?
- IT'S A DISPOSABLE, OBVIOUSLY.
NOT MUCH ON THE SIM CARD.
SOME DISCONNECTED NUMBERS AND A HANDFUL OF TEXTS,
ALL EQUALLY CRYPTIC.
SO I'M TRYING TO HACK THE CELL COMPANY
FOR MORE INFORMATION.
BUT THEIR FIREWALL IS IMPRESSIVE.
- YOU CAN'T GET IN?
YOU BUILT A MACHINE THAT SPIES ON THE ENTIRE COUNTRY.
- WHEN YOU WORK FOR THE GOVERNMENT,
ACCESS IS NOT A PROBLEM.
THINGS ARE DIFFERENT NOW.
I'LL FIGURE IT OUT.
- WELL, FIGURE IT OUT QUICK.
THE KIDNAPPERS KILLED THE NANNY.
THEY MUST HAVE GOTTEN GATES' ALARM CODE OUT OF HER.
[dials phone]
- [over phone] 911 EMERGENCY, HELLO?
[static, indistinct chatter]
- HEY, YOU SEEN CARTER? - NO.
- DETECTIVE.
YOU CAME DOWN FROM THE 51ST RIGHT, FUSCO?
- THE BRONX FINEST.
- WHAT BROUGHT YOU HERE?
- I WANTED A CHANGE OF SCENERY.
- WANTED?
OR NEEDED?
- YOU GOT SOMETHING YOU WANT TO SAY?
- I HEARD SOME RUMORS THAT GOT ME CONCERNED.
- [laughs]
- I JUST LIKE TO KNOW WHAT I'M DEALING WITH.
[phone beeps]
- CARLA, I'M GOING TO BUY YOU A COFFEE.
SINCE YOU'VE BEEN SO NICE.
- CREAM, NO SUGAR.
[static, indistinct chatter]
- OH, HE COMES WHEN HE'S CALLED.
GOOD.
NOW IF I COULD JUST TRAIN YOU TO STOP TRYING TO KILL ME.
- HOW LONG AM I GOING TO HAVE TO WORK DOWN HERE?
COMMUTE'S A BITCH.
- YOU SHOULD BE GRATEFUL.
TAKES SOME GUYS YEARS TO MAKE TASK FORCE.
PLUS, I LET YOU LIVE.
CARTER, IS SHE GETTING CLOSE?
- ALL I KNOW RIGHT NOW
IS YOU PISSED OFF REAL POLICE, MY FRIEND.
SHE'S NOT GOING TO STOP TILL SHE GOT YOU.
IS THAT IT?
- BALLISTICS.
AND FIND OUT IF THERE'S BEEN
ANY RANSOM KIDNAPPINGS REPORTED.
WHITE GUYS WITH CREW CUTS.
ONE WITH LONG HAIR.
- KIDNAPPING'S BIG NEWS.
I'D HAVE HEARD SOMETHING.
- WHAT ABOUT AMBER ALERTS?
- CHILD ABDUCTION?
IS THAT WHAT WE'RE DEALING WITH?
- WE? [chuckles]
SINCE WHEN ARE YOU ON BOARD?
- IT'S STILL A MISSING KID.
HEY, WHATEVER ELSE I'VE DONE, I'M STILL A COP.
IF YOU NEED SOME HELP, YOU LET ME KNOW.
YOU UNDERSTAND?
- I CRACKED THE CELL COMPANY'S FIREWALL.
THE SPOTTER'S PHONE WAS PURCHASED WITH CASH
AND A PHONY NAME.
BUT OUR KIDNAPPERS HAVE TO SLEEP SOMEWHERE.
THE LOCATION DATA PUTS THIS PHONE
ON THE SAME BLOCK IN BROOKLYN EVERY NIGHT--
14TH BETWEEN FRANKLIN AND WYTHE.
- THEN I'LL HIT HIM WHERE HE LIVES.
- [groans]
- FINCH.
I JUST FOUND OUR GUY.
- IS HE TALKING?
- NOT AT THE MOMENT.
TURSKI, LEON JOSEF, WITH AN "F".
HOLD ON.
[buttons snap]
I KNOW WHO HAS SAM, FINCH.
SZAJKA PRUSZKOW DZIEWIEC: SP-9.
IT'S A NASTY STREET GANG FROM EASTERN EUROPE.
- YOU DEALT WITH THEM IN YOUR FORMER EMPLOYMENT?
- THEY WERE TRADING WITH THE PASHTUN WARLORDS.
GUNS FOR HEROIN.
BUT THEY ALSO RUN KIDNAPPINGS IN WARSAW.
LOOKS LIKE THEY JUST OPENED UP A NEW BRANCH IN NEW YORK.
COME ON, LET'S GO FOR A RIDE.
- THAT'S ALL I NEED, DETECTIVE.
[zips]
- THANK YOU.
CARTER, HOMICIDE, I GOT YOUR MESSAGE.
- DETECTIVE OLSON.
I GOT YOUR BOLO.
WHITE MALE, 6'2", GRAYING TEMPLES, NICE SUIT.
SUPER SAID HE SAW HIM LEAVING AT THE TIME OF THE 911.
- DID YOU GET AUDIO ON THE CALL?
- WHAT AUDIO? NOBODY SAID BOO.
M.E. SAID SHE WAS DEAD TWO HOURS BEFORE.
SO YOU THINK YOUR GUY KILLED HER?
- NO, I THINK HE CALLED 911.
- GREAT, SHE'S F.O.B. FROM PUERTO RICO,
NO FAMILY, NO BOYFRIEND.
MAN, I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO GIFT WRAP THIS FOR ME.
- WHAT KIND OF WORK DOES SHE DO?
- OH, SHE WAS A NANNY ON THE WEST SIDE.
WE'VE GOT UNIS TALKING TO HER CLIENTS.
SO IF YOUR GUY WASN'T THE SHOOTER, WHAT WAS HE DOING HERE?
- SOMEONE KILLED CHRISTINA?
OH, GOD, I--
SHE WASN'T HERE WHEN SAM CAME HOME.
- SAM?
- MY SON.
SHE WASN'T HERE WHEN HE CAME HOME FROM SCHOOL,
SO HE CALLED ME.
I CAME HOME TO BE WITH HIM.
HE'S UPSTAIRS PLAYING RIGHT NOW.
- THANKS FOR YOUR TIME, JUDGE.
- CHRISTINA WAS, UM...
SHE WAS, UH...
WITH US THE NIGHT THAT ELIZABETH DIED.
SHE WAS SO GOOD WITH SAM.
SHE WAS JUST A KID.
- HEY.
HE'S ALIVE, OKAY?
AS LONG AS THEY NEED HIM, SAM'S STILL ALIVE.
- YOU DON'T KNOW THAT.
- I NEED YOUR HELP, JUDGE.
HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF THE SZAJKA PRUSZKOW, SP-9?
- WHAT ARE YOU?
AN EX-COP?
FBI?
- I HAVE EXPERIENCE IN SITUATIONS LIKE THIS.
THAT'S ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW.
- YEAH?
WELL, MAYBE YOU'RE NOT ENOUGH.
MAYBE I SHOULD CALL THOSE OFFICERS BACK
AND TELL THEM THE TRUTH.
- I KNOW HOW TO BE INVISIBLE.
THE POLICE AND THE FBI DON'T.
BUT I'M GOING AFTER YOUR SON REGARDLESS.
NOW, HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF A GANG CALLED SP-9?
- NO.
WHO ARE THEY?
[phone rings]
- THAT'S THEM NOW.
- HELLO?
- YOU'RE ALONE?
- YES.
I NEED PROOF THAT MY SON IS ALIVE.
PUT SAM ON THE PHONE.
- DAD?
- SAM... ARE YOU HURT?
- DAD, PLEASE, I WANT TO GO HOME!
- SAM, SAM!
- RELAX, YOUR HONOR.
YOUR SON IS JUST FINE.
HE'S A GOOD BOY.
SMART, LIKE YOU.
- HOW MUCH?
I'LL PAY ANYTHING YOU WANT.
- SEE?
SMART.
BUT, FORTUNATELY FOR YOU, WE DON'T WANT YOUR MONEY.
WE WANT YOUR HELP.
THERE'S A CASE IN YOUR COURT RIGHT NOW,
THE PEOPLE VS. ANGELA MARKHAM.
THE PEOPLE... ARE GOING TO LOSE.
- WHAT?
- THROW THE CASE, JUDGE.
ANGELA MARKHAM WALKS.
OR YOUR SON DIES.
[dial tone, phone beeps]
- ANGELA MARKHAM?
SHE MOWED DOWN SOME GUY IN A PARKING GARAGE.
IT'S A SIMPLE HIT AND RUN.
- WELL, NOW SHE'S BECOME THE KEY TO FINDING YOUR SON.
[static, indistinct chatter]
- ANGELA MARKHAM IS AN ACCOUNT EXEC
AT A TECH COMPANY NEAR THE TRADE CENTER.
SIX WEEKS AGO, SHE GOT DRUNK AT AN OFFICE RETIREMENT PARTY,
AND HIT A CPA ON HER WAY OUT.
CHARGED WITH DWI AND VEHICULAR MANSLAUGHTER.
IT'S JUST A RANDOM ACCIDENT.
WHAT DOES THIS WOMAN HAVE TO DO
WITH THE PEOPLE WHO TOOK MY SON?
- I DON'T KNOW.
BUT IT'S NOT JUST SAM'S LIFE THEY'RE PLAYING WITH.
THEY'RE PLANNING TO KILL YOU TOO.
- HOW CAN YOU KNOW THAT?
WHERE ARE YOU GETTING YOUR INFORMATION?
- LET'S JUST SAY I HAVE A SOURCE AND IT'S NEVER WRONG.
LOOK, THESE PEOPLE CAN'T BE REASONED WITH.
THEY CAN'T BE TRUSTED.
IF WE'RE GOING TO SAVE YOUR SON,
I NEED TO FIND A WAY TO HURT THEM.
- THE TRIAL RESUMES IN 30 MINUTES.
WHAT DO I DO?
- JUST STALL.
MAKE IT LOOK LIKE YOU'RE COOPERATING.
BUT BUY ME TIME.
- WELL, THIS ISN'T A STREET GANG.
THIS IS A MULTINATIONAL CORPORATION.
SP-9 IS ACTIVE IN AT LEAST 18 COUNTRIES IN EUROPE, ASIA--
- AFTER INTERPOL TOOK DOWN THE OLD PRUSZKOW MAFIA,
THEY GOT SMARTER.
STARTED HIDING THEIR TATTOOS,
STUDIED MILITARY DISCIPLINE, COMPUTERS--
- THEY HAVE ALMOST NO DIGITAL FOOTPRINT.
I HAVE YET TO FIND ANYTHING THAT COULD HELP US FIND GATES' SON.
- THEN FOCUS ON HER.
SOMEHOW THIS GIRL AND THAT GANG CONNECT.
MY BEST GUESS, WHOEVER SHE'S SLEEPING WITH
IS HIGH UP IN SP-9.
BET HER BOYFRIEND KNOWS WHERE THEY'RE KEEPING SAM.
- AND WHILE I'M CHECKING INTO THE GIRL, WHAT'LL YOU BE DOING?
- TRACKING DOWN THE REST OF THEM.

NANNY FROM THE BRONX MURDERED ON HER LUNCH BREAK.

IT'S MY EX, I'VE GOT TO TAKE THIS.
YOU'VE GOT A REAL CREEPY SENSE OF TIMING, MAN.
- BALLISTICS REPORT, DETECTIVE.

YOUR SLUG'S NOT IN THE SYSTEM.
AND I'M PRETTY SURE
THAT CARTER'S WORKING YOUR CRIME SCENE.
HEY, DOES THIS DEAD NANNY

THIS IS TOO CLEAN.

HOW MANY PISSED-OFF BOYFRIENDS YOU KNOW
GO OUT AND BUY A SILENCER?
ROMANCE, MY ASS.

- NO, NO, NO. WAIT, WAIT, WAIT.
OKAY, WAIT.
I KNOW A PLACE.
IT'S 3185 LORIMER.
IT'S WHERE I GO TO GET PAID.
- GOOD.

- I OBSERVED A WHITE SUV DRIVING ERRATICALLY AT HIGH SPEED.
I STOPPED THE VEHICLE FOR A POSSIBLE DWI.
- AND WHAT DID YOU SEE WHEN YOU APPROACHED THE CAR?
- BLOOD.
ON THE FRONT LEFT FENDER.
- OBJECTION, FACTS NOT IN EVIDENCE.

A RED FLUID THAT APPEARED TO BE BLOOD--

SHE APPEARED TO BE INTOXICATED.

- LET ME TALK TO HIM.
- NOT UNTIL YOU STOP STALLING.
- LOOK...
I HAVE TO DO THIS RIGHT OR THE D.A. CAN APPEAL.
YOU WANT HER FREE,
I HAVE TO MAKE SURE SHE STAYS THAT WAY.
