Blindspot

I need new passports. I need to secure

a safe passage into another country.

- I need... - Money...

you came back to me because you need money.

I love you, Bethany.

But I had to run, and if you were smart,

you would do the same.

I don't run.

Thanks for meeting me up here.

What is this place?

The woman upstairs is a retired record producer.

She puts up some of the old jazz musicians who come through town.

Turns into a bit of a jam session.

Real hard to get tickets.

This song, uh...

I know it from somewhere.

You were never really into jazz until we got together.

My mother died when I was a kid

and her albums are all I really had of her growing up, so...

I'd listen to them over and over

and they just... they became a part of me.

Music was important to me, so...

it became important to you.

You said you wanted me to open up more,

tell you about our past.

What?

It's just...

How do I know you're telling me the truth?

It's the truth.

Then I need to meet the others.

If we're all part of this organization, there are more of us.

I want to talk to them.

For you.

Another mission.

Stick it into any FBI computer.

It'll do the rest.

What will it do?

Copy some files we need.

I don't know about this.

It'll be undetectable.

We just need to get behind the firewall.

When the light turns from red to green, it's done.

I know it's hard for you to trust me.

But there was a time when you trusted me more than anyone.

I promise we'll get back there.

I should go.

Yeah. Yeah.

Morning.

Morning.

Uno Attack?

Sounds intense.

Yeah.

Sawyer is the reigning champ in our house.

Must be killing you not to be the best at something.

Don't you worry.

I'm gonna knock that kid off his throne tonight.

I'm subbing in for my dad.

How is he?

He's not great, really.

The doctors think that he doesn't have much time.

I'm sorry.

He's fighting a good fight, though.

He's determined. Stubborn as hell.

Always has been.

Sounds a little like someone I know.

You're welcome to join tonight.

Sawyer's picking dinner,

so it's either gonna be pizza or hot dogs with hush puppies.

That sounds like fun. I'll think about it.

Okay.

You asked for a psych consultant.

Oh, yeah, a young patient came in this morning.

She was found wandering the streets of Chelsea, covered in blood.

There's been no missing person's reports yet.

- What has she told you? - Well, that's the problem.

There doesn't seem to be anything medically wrong with her,

but she's not speaking.

Hello. I'm Robert.

What's your name?

Do you know where your family is?

What's the extent of her injuries?

She had some pretty deep cuts,

possibly from metal or glass.

We've given her a tetanus shot as a precaution.

This picture, what does it mean?

Do you recognize it?

I've seen it before.

This sketch is an exact match with one of Jane's tattoos.

It's the crest for the Ahmadi family of Syria.

The Ahmadis run a highly secretive,

highly organized terrorist organization.

They're responsible for deadly attacks in Syria, Yemen, and Egypt.

This makes sense. We received intel

the three members of Ahmadi family

entered the U.S. on false papers.

The potential for a terror attack has Homeland Security on alert.

What do we know about them?

The leader is Tarek Ahmadi.

He's number five on the FBI's most wanted list.

The SEALS staged a raid on an Ahmadi family compound six months ago.

They killed Tarek's brother, Zahid.

But the organization still largely remains a mystery.

How could the little girl have seen this family crest before?

She must have had some kind of interaction with the Ahmadis

or at least been exposed to that symbol.

She's just a kid.

So they could be planning some grassroots terror attack.

What about the notebook?

Her drawings are extraordinarily detailed.

If she's sketching the crest,

perhaps there's other valuable intel in there.

Well, I explained to Patterson earlier

that the girl has a very severe form of autism.

So taking away the one familiar object she has

would be harmful at this stage.

I will get the notebook, but it needs to be on her terms.

We need to talk to this little girl.

We need to find out where she's from...

more importantly, how she's connected to the Ahmadis.

This girl could be the key

to stopping an imminent terrorist attack on U.S. soil.

We need to get through to her and we need to do it now.

Unfortunately, that's not gonna be so easy.

Can you tell me, do you have any brothers or sisters?

_

What about your mom and dad?

_

Tarek Ahmadi... is your dad?

This is Russell Franklin, Assistant Secretary of State

for Near Eastern Affairs.

He's been tracking the Ahmadi family for several years.

We just got avuncular DNA results back.

They confirm the little girl is Tarek Ahmadi's daughter.

If that's the case, her name is Maya.

Ahmadi only has one daughter her age.

- Where's her mother? - Yes, Nermin Ahmadi, Tarek's fifth wife.

Her whereabouts are unknown.

And what about siblings? Or anyone who can look after her?

Just the maternal grandmother we're trying to locate in Syria.

Well, it makes sense she'd understand English.

The daughter of Tarek Ahmadi would have had the best tutors.

Three Ahmadi men recently entered the U.S....

Amar, Riham, and Asil.

Nermin and Maya must have slipped through our borders with them.

But why bring a child?

I don't know.

But this many Ahmadis in the U.S. is a very disturbing development.

They wouldn't take that risk unless an attack was coming.

We need to find out where Maya was before she was discovered.

It could be where the clan was hiding.

Finding that might be the only way to stop this attack before it happens.

Doc, can you think of any way to break through to her?

Well, I haven't had much luck with traditional methods of therapy.

But I might have an idea.

That's all right. You can touch 'em.

Some of these look like the pictures you draw.

I was lost once, too.

I sat in this very room

and I was all alone.

I didn't know where I was or how I got here.

All I wanted was to go home.

I want you to know that you can trust us.

These people, they've been helping me.

And they can help you, too.

This is my sketchbook.

I draw when I'm scared and when I'm happy, too.

It helps me think.

Do you want to have a look?

I promise you'll be safe now.

I won't let anything bad happen to you.

But we... we need to take a look at your sketchbook.

Would you let us borrow it?

Just for a little while.

Thank you.

My team's been analyzing Maya's sketches.

She obviously has a photographic memory.

All right, so what did you find?

We think her pictures must contain clues to where she's been.

We've been trying to identify any markers or hidden messages.

Go through every drawing.

Somewhere in that book there must be a clue to the Ahmadis' attack plan.

We've got something.

The portraits in the sketchbook were so detailed,

we were able to run them through facial rec.

Got a hit... Jeremy Rance,

an American journalist who lives in Brooklyn.

He wrote a "Vanity Fair" article last year on Cabrera,

the leader of Venezuela's Costeno cartel.

I remember, he was brought in for questioning

after having several meetings with Cabrera on U.S. soil.

Landed up on all the watch lists.

Rance has a rock-star following.

He was on the cover of "Men's Health," "Esquire."

He gave a TED talk.

Some fun facts... he's a former amateur boxer

and a self-proclaimed adrenaline junkie.

- Sounds like a jackass. - Pretty much.

If Maya sketched his face, she must have met him or at least seen him.

Maybe Rance was interviewing members of her family.

He was suspected of helping Cabrera come into the U.S.
