Look, I'm sorry, sir. He's not here.
I have the appointment card. It says right here.
Sir, I understand you had a scheduled appointment...
- 8:00 on Tuesday. - My manager isn't in yet.
Do you know when he'll be here?
Sorry, but you're welcome to wait.
That's why I made an appointment in the first place.
So I don't have to wait. I'm sorry.
Hey... Uhh!
NYPD!
Drop your weapons and get on the ground now!
Hit the alarm, now!
- Did you talk to Jubal yet? - No, I tried him a few times.
Look, I'm not against the concept.
Then why are you making such a big deal about it?
I'm not making a big deal about it.
I'm simply expressing my lack of enthusiasm.
I forgot how exhausting
you are.
Is that your way of saying you miss me?
I need to grab this. Hey, Maggie, what's up?
Hey, Jubal, we got a bank robbery, one dead.
Right, okay, I'll touch base in five.
Let me guess, you have to go light up the JOC?
I'll let you go then.
Yeah.
We'll see you Saturday, right?
- Did you see their faces? - No, they were wearing masks.
- What did they say to you? - Nothing.
Not a word.
They just gave me this note.
"PS 59, 3rd grade.
All the cash in the safe, no alarms."
- PS 59? - My son's school.
I should have triggered the alarm sooner.
That poor officer, I just... I just didn't know.
It's okay, you did the right thing.
They were threatening your child.
- Here you go, sir. - It's okay.
I'm Special Agent Maggie Bell. This is my partner, OA Zidan.
Deputy Inspector Richard Talmage.
NYPD Major Case Squad.
- We're very sorry. - I appreciate it.
Name's Oliver West. Good man.
Wife, two kids.
Three other bystanders were also shot.
They're on their way to the hospital now,
but they appear to be in stable condition, thank God.
Excuse me, can you follow them to the hospital,
see what they know? Yeah. Got it.
They pull the security footage yet?
Yeah, we'll get it over to 26 Fed right away.
- Thank you. - The teller said
the robber handed her this note.
Ring any bells? Yeah, we had a few robberies
in the area about a year ago.
Same thing... silent criminals, threatening notes.
- You make an arrest? - No, we were circling
a robbery crew on the Lower East Side,
but we couldn't make the case.
Mind if we take a look at those files?
Sure.
Hey, I, uh...
I know you guys are the lead on bank robberies,
but, uh... We understand.
This one's personal.
We'll keep you in the loop every step of the way.
Thanks.
Bank robbery played out like a silent movie.
Robbers communicated with notes.
No words, no voices.
Good news is, NYPD has seen this before.
M.O. matches a string
of violent robberies from last year.
These are the lovely faces of the various suspects.
Let's dig deep, see if we can't find a nexus
to this bank robbery, huh? Security footage?
Uh, yeah, it came in two minutes ago.
Cue it up for me, will you, Bill?
All right, here we go.
Perps walk in, they knock the guard out,
bang, a single shot in the air. The shorter perp
gives the note to the teller.
Officer West identifies himself,
gets shot... returns fire.
All right, pause. Witnesses heard her scream,
said it was definitely a woman.
Okay, I want you to start calling all of the hospitals.
I need the name of every female gunshot victim
in the Tri-State area. All right, run it.
Right there, stop.
Can you blow that up and run it again?
Jubal. Yeah?
The taller perp takes the gun from the female perp,
doesn't even let her take the shot herself.
So either he's a better shot...
Unlikely, given all the times he missed.
Or he's the boss.
Bad news is, Mr. Alpha didn't get what he went there for...
money.
Means he might strike again, soon.
Striations in the bullets are a match to the ones found
at a home invasion back in 2014.
Same gun used in both crimes. You have a name?
Yeah, one of the guys in the robbery crew got pinched.
Did three years. Matt Tolan.
Matthew Tolan was just released from Rikers
three weeks ago.
- Didn't waste any time. - We have a current address?
FBI!
- Hey, whoa... - Inside.
What the hell is going on here?
- FBI. - We're looking for
your brother, Matthew Tolan.
You busted down my door so you could look for Matt?
Where is he?
He's in the back.
- Wake-up call, Matty. - Oh... what the hell?
What is this? You're coming with us.
Why? What did, uh, what did I do?
There was a bank robbery this morning,
so we have some questions to ask you.
Okay, fine, let's go.
I appreciate the energy, Matt,
but maybe you want to put some pants on?
I keep telling you, I didn't rob that bank.
I'd love to take your word for it.
I was with my niece at her school, PS 142.
She had a violin concert. Can anyone verify that?
Plenty of people. My sister, the teachers.
I'm sure there's video, too. Oof, Uncle of the Year.
Congrats.
Ooh, that coffee's terrible.
Didn't realize you had such refined tastes.
But then again, when you've spent as much time
in prison as you have, I mean, it makes perfect sense.
I'm not denying that I made some mistakes.
I'm just saying your coffee sucks.
But you are denying that you did the bank robbery, correct?
You're damn right.
Then how do you explain the gun?
- What gun? - The one you used
in that home invasion robbery three years ago.
It was used in a bank robbery this morning.
- It wasn't my gun. - Whose was it?
There's a dead police officer, Matt.
You sure you want to get all mixed up in this?
Uh...
His name's Patrick Cross.
We, uh, we... we did a few robberies together
back in the day, but that was a long time ago.
I was a different person then. Where's Cross now?
Don't know. Don't talk to him anymore.
- Why not? - Because he's the one
who did that home invasion, not me.
Okay, sit tight. We're gonna run your alibi.
Oh and... I'll get the barista
to make you a fresh pot of coffee.
And we'll have 'em use one of those artisanal blends too.
Oh, that's hilarious. Thank you.
Yeah, well, I'm his father.
I think this warrants a conversation.
Does that make sense?
Okay, you know what?
I can't talk about this right now.
Hey. Everything all right?
Oh, yeah, you know, ex-wife, new boyfriend.
This whole inclusive modern family thing
is not as awesome as everyone makes it out to be.
So did Tolan's alibi check out?
Yeah, airtight.
Five people saw him at the school concert.
Okay, so Tolan is listening to third graders play violin.
What else? Where are we with this Patrick Cross guy?
Last known address isn't current
and the landlord hasn't heard from him in months.
Any leads on the female suspect?
Not yet. We're still calling hospitals,
but so far no hits.
Let's expand that to undertakers, funeral homes...
doctor of choice for many smart criminals.
What else do we know?
ERT is running various blood samples from the bank,
but it could take awhile.
Tell the lab to make it a priority.
I need it back today. Okay.
Yeah, yeah. Guys, NYPD just got a report
of a bodega robbery downtown.
Two people in ski masks, single shot in the air,
no talking, threatening note passed.
Looks like Bonnie and Clyde struck again.
Let's get up on every damn camera
within a ten-block radius of that bodega.
I've got guys going up and down the block
seeing if any other cameras caught sight of 'em.
Do you have the note?
"All the cash in the register.
No alarms or we'll kill you."
Threat's not as specific.
No, it's spur of the moment.
