FBI: Most Wanted

- Quick, ask me a question about ad content on Zoom.

- Do you have any child protection filters?

- Or a way to screen out ad content for, like,

hair removal and capri pants?

- Yes and yes. -

- Now this was a work dinner. -

Does your expense account have a limit?

- I don't know. It's only been two weeks,

but let's find out.

all: Ooh!

- Cheers. - Cheers.

- Thanks for eating early, ladies.

My schedule's been so weird lately.

- Mm. - Tell Mark I said hello.

- Will do, tell Stephen hello. - Will do.

- I'll tell my wine bottle hello.

Merlot beats Richard any day.

- I want to believe you're right.

- Richard feeds his cat on the kitchen table.

The kitchen table! - Okay, the cat I miss.

Okay, you guys.

- Bye. - Bye.

- Uber will be here in, like, five minutes.

- No!

Hey!

Hey!

Get back!

- Take it easy. - All you people, get out.

Go back to your own country!

- It's time for cup number three.

- Nectar of the gods. Thank you.

Muah. - She ready to go?

- No, we finished a little late, even though her last time

was two seconds faster than her first.

- That's great. - It's amazing.

You smell that?

Smells like it.

- Tali! What are you doing?

- Nothing. - Give that to me.

And the rest of it. - I don't have any.

What is going on?

- Hey! That's mine!

- I'm sorry. - First you get sent home

from school for vaping, now you're vaping pot?

- There's nothing else in there.

- Where'd you get the pot from? Is it Daniel?

Is it?

- Tali, it's not even 8:00 in the morning.

You need to go to school.

- Stay out of this! - Hey, hey, hey.

Don't talk to her like that.

LaCroix.

- You know, just because you stay in our house

does not mean you can tell me what I can and can't do.

- A little bit. A little bit, it does.

I'm heading over now.

- Now? - Now?

Can you take her to school?

- I guess so. - Good.

We'll finish this conversation when I get back home.

Dad, it's just pot.

- Great, then it'll be a short conversation.

You're grounded.

- What? - You heard me.

I have to go. - Yeah.

God, I can't stand you.

- Yesterday, in West Windsor, New Jersey,

Carrie Chen was leaving an early dinner with friends

when she was abducted outside a restaurant

and taken in a cargo van.

Her friend and a man who tried to help her

were both shot dead.

The assailant was a white male

and all the victims were Asian American.

- According to witnesses, her abductor yelled,

"All you people, go back to your own country,"

or words to that effect.

- Well, it sounds like a hate crime.

- Carrie's husband is a well-known professor

and researcher at Princeton,

making this a high-profile case.

The Jersey Field Office has asked for our assist.

- Cameras turn anything up on the van?

- Witnesses place it traveling south,

and our unsub appears to be working alone.

- Carrie and her husband have been married

a little over three years.

- He's on his way back from an academic conference in Boston.

Officers are meeting him at the airport and they will notify us

as soon as he lands.

We can't rule him out.

- Neither have criminal histories.

They both have regular salaries.

No ransom demands yet.

- And no body. - Yet.

- So you think this attack was random?

- Mm, it's a possibility. One of the victims

had no connection to Carrie or her friends.

Just a Good Samaritan walking down the street.

- But our unsub was willing to kill to grab Carrie,

so he could have been following her.

Maybe a fixation on her. - I don't know.

Hate crimes can escalate pretty fast.

A perceived side-eye can erupt into a lynching mob.

- First fight I had started with someone calling me a name

that my father had to explain to me.

I didn't even know the guy. - Point taken.

You and I will head up to Hate Crimes Division.

Barnes, Kristin, take Carrie's workplace.

We are looking for the connect, if there is any,

between Carrie and her abductor.

I almost didn't hire Carrie.

We upload premium content for children,

and her online presence is inconsistent with our mission.

- What do you mean? She writes mostly

about restaurant openings and what she ate there.

- Ah, that's because we scrubbed

her most recent history, everything that denigrated

China's overhauling of Hong Kong.

Overhauling?

I've heard it called a takeover.

- That's one of the words Carrie used.

She was born in Hong Kong.

The shutdown of the protests spun her into overdrive.

The changes in their school curriculum,

the firing of civil servants--

- And she posted about it all? - Yes.

She was very passionate. And we can't have that here.

Our company partners with China.

- Well, how can you be sure she's still not posting?

Maybe under an alias.

I can manage my employees.

- So you monitor their emails, right, their personal emails?

So if her posts were inflammatory,

were there any death threats made against her?

- She did receive a fair amount of hate mail.

Much of it in Mandarin.

- She had a lot of enemies, then?

A whole country.

- How often do victims of hate crimes know their attackers?

- The pattern we're seeing in anti-Asian incidents

is that the more violent the crime,

the more likely the victim doesn't know the offender.

Just this week, a 94-year-old woman was stabbed

outside an H Mart by some rando in the street

blaming her for the "China virus."

- I've heard it called a lot of things.

- Since COVID, we've seen a big increase

in crimes against Asian Americans.

And we only catch the violent cases.

We have no way of documenting the countless microaggressions,

the drive-by "ching chong" and nail salon jokes.

These are all the informants, known actors,

and parolees connected to or suspected

of anti-Asian hate crimes in this area.

- Any abductions prior to Carrie's?

Completely honest here...

Carrie Chen's kidnapping is one of the worst-case scenarios

we thought could happen and hoped like hell it wouldn't.

Go through these with Barnes.

Carrie's husband just landed.

Thank you, Arya.

- My, uh, first flight was canceled because the--

the crew never showed up.

- Try to calm down if you can, Mr. Beck.

- We all want to find your wife.

- I can't believe this is happening.

- Anything unusual happen over the last few weeks?

Aggression towards you or your wife?

- Yeah, yeah, sure, but that's not unusual.

Look, I'm a white man in a white neighborhood

married to an Asian woman, I mean--

even before the pandemic...

well, I'll leave it to your imagination

what we were called.

And what about Carrie?

Yeah, she's been spit on,

she's been locked out of stores, but...

I don't-- I don't know those people.

- You were at a conference, is that correct?

- Uh, a meeting. I was--I was at a meeting.

- And the meeting, what was it about, who was it with?

Uh, Brice Lonner.

Uh, he runs R&D at ParGen.

- You're meeting at their headquarters?

ParGen's one of the biggest pharmaceuticals out there.

- Well, they have a small office in the city.

I didn't want to go to Boston.

My brother lives there,

so I was spending the night with him.

- And the meeting, what was it about?

- What does this have to do with my wife missing?

Please! - We have to get

as much information as we can.

Uh...

Look, they--they underwrite some of the studies in my labs,

so I was just up there looking at some equipment.

- And you left yesterday morning?
