FBI - Sixth Season

Good to see you again.

Are we all set?

- Were you able to... - yeah.

It all worked out.

That's good news.

I couldn't tell if you were able to pull it off or not.

You know, you're not very specific in your text messages.

Wanna see it?

Yeah.

All right.

- Looks good. - As good as it gets.

- I'll grab the money. - We'll get this thing done.

- We'll be out of here. - All right.

It's all here, my man.

10 grand. You feel free to count that.

I would not be offended in the least.

Hey, what's this?

- Good morning. - Hey.

The victim's name is James sun.

He took two to the chest.

Yeah, no gunshot residue, though,

so the shooter wasn't at close range.

The federal government owns all this?

That's what they tell me.

- Any witnesses? - No.

We're still canvassing, but it's pretty empty

around here, so don't get your hopes up.

Right.

Nice watch.

Wallet and phone were on his person as well.

Anything else we need to know?

Yeah, sun was an employee of the United States army.

He's dead?

Someone shot him?

Yes.

That's a shame.

James was a good man, worked hard.

We're sorry for your loss.

You know what happened?

Why he got shot?

No. We're still investigating.

Okay, were you aware of anything unusual,

altercations or arguments?

No.

But the last few months, he did seem

to lose his interest in the job.

Got a little bitter.

Why is that?

He was passed over for a promotion,

and he took it really hard.

I tried to talk him down,

but he put in his paper six days ago.

His retirement would have been effective next week.

What sort of work did he do?

He was an 89 bravo, ammunition specialist.

He got a hit on this tarp.

Explosives?

Dog's alerting, so yeah.

So an ammunition specialist gets shot

in an industrial park,

and a bomb dog alerts on his empty truck?

Maybe James sun was selling the explosives.

Customer didn't wanna pay, so he shot sun in the chest.

All right, so the lab is running more tests

on the tarp to determine what type of explosives

may have been stolen.

But our main focus right now is Mr. Sun's phone and laptop.

So who has he been chatting with?

Have we figured out who's on the other side

of this unholy transaction?

It looks like sun was active on whatsapp.

Yep. Okay.

Lots of chatter about perfume

guessing that's code for the explosives.

Very, very good, Kelly, but we need more.

We need names.

So if Mr. Sun is the perfumer, who is the cognoscenti?

I have no idea what that means.

We can't get any user info without a warrant.

We can definitely trace the ip address.

Okay, the ip address comes back to somebody

named Clinton Payne.

Eyes up, people.

Clinton Payne, 34 years old.

He's got a long list of priors, dating back almost 20 years.

Most serious offense appears to be armed robbery.

Did three years at fish kill, was released 11 months ago.

Okay, anything else?

Anything that speaks to use of explosives,

acts of terrorism?

Nothing obvious.

But he's still on probation for armed robbery.

Okay, that means we can search his property

without a warrant.

Get his address and get it over to the team.

Clayton Payne! FBI!

Open up.

Federal agents!

Kitchen's clear!

Shots fired, upstairs.

Are you guys okay?

Yeah, no, we're good.

We're gonna press him. Stay out back.

Copy that.

Clinton Payne, come out with your hands up.

Go.

Clinton Payne, you're under arrest.

Things aren't looking too good for you, Clinton.

The ammo we found in your house is the same caliber

as the ammo used to kill James sun.

I'm sure your gun's a perfect match too.

Hey, we found rdx powder in the basement.

Wow.

Things are looking even worse for you now.

That means you're looking down a life sentence or worse.

So I would start talking

and tell us who you're working with.

I'll talk.

I want a deal first, in writing.

Yeah, that's not how this works.

Well, then I ain't talking.

You really wanna play this out?

Take it to court, put your life in the hands of some judge

chomping at the bit to make an example

out of some idiot like you?

I want a lawyer.

If you confess to killing James sun

and give us information that leads to another arrest,

I will put in a good word

with the U.S. attorney's office.

A good word?

It's the best I got.

What does that even mean?

It means that you have a chance to be

a free man someday... a chance.

And considering what you have done,

that is the break of a lifetime.

Okay.

I'll cooperate, but you gotta promise

to help in writing.

Why don't you start talking?

And if it is interesting, I'll consider it.

So start talking now.

So I knew that guy sun from this bar

I go to in astoria,

and I knew he made bombs and stuff for the army and

did you kill him?

Yeah, but I-I didn't want to.

It... he wanted 10 grand for the rdx,

and I couldn't come up with the money, so

why did you purchase the rdx?

- What was your intent? - I was gonna sell it.

- To whom? - I don't know.

You were just gonna walk around town and hope

to find someone interested in buying an illegal explosive?

No. I had somebody in mind.

I just didn't know him.

I met him on the web in a chat room,

and dude said he was looking for rdx, a lot of it.

So that's how this whole thing ended up happening.

He was offering a lot of money too... 20 grand.

What else did you know about this potential buyer?

Zero.

Like I said, he was looking for rdx,

enough to blow up a city block is what he said.

You didn't know his name,

what he looked like, where he lived?

No, no. I never met him.

All right, I'm gonna go grab a laptop,

and you are gonna get back in that stupid chat room,

and you're gonna set up a meeting for later today.

Do you understand?

Payne is supposed to be meeting his potential buyer for the rdx

at 3:30 P.M. at a dive bar in Harlem.

Since Payne never actually met this guy,

we want you two to go under, see what you can find.

Sounds good.

All right, scola, you will be posing as Payne.

Tiff, you'll pose as the broker,

the one who's been searching the dark web,

looking for potential buyers.

For now, the goal is simple.

Elicit as much information as possible.

Who is this guy working with?

And what does he plan to do with the explosives?

Use the rdx as bait.

Let him know you have it,

but you need to get to know him first,

understand who you're dealing with,

that type of thing.

Nice to finally meet you.

Yes.

Nice to meet you as well.

And your friend?

My name is Tiffany.

What about you? What's your name?

Call me whatever you want.

I'd rather call you what your mother calls you.

My mother's dead.

Look, we just wanted to get to know you a little bit.
