So I'm showing her the house.
"Here's the master, the kitchen..."
And she asks if she can use the bathroom.
I thought you weren't supposed to do that at an open house.
You're not. Very bad form.
But what am I gonna say, no?
So she comes out,
and she is high as a kite.
No!
I can literally see the powder under her nose.
But now she loves this house.
She wants to move in today, right now.
But I know in my heart this sale is going nowhere.
Sorry.
My life in art.
- Did the mail come? - Yeah, it's in the front.
You know, you should've told her you're married to a cop,
just to see what the look on her face was.
Yeah.
It's sad when you think about it.
Still, I was really hoping to make a sale.
Well, you'll sell the house. You always do.
I've actually got two viewings next...
You making friends?
Yeah, some. It's only been a few months.
Yeah, but you gotta put yourself out there.
You know, meet people, go to parties or something.
Yeah, 'cause I love those.
Are you getting any sleep? Exercise?
Don't you have to Miranda me before an interrogation?
Seriously, you're worse than Dad.
Good one.
- Hey. - Hey.
This is my partner, OA Zidan.
OA, this is my sister Erin.
Thank you, and it's nice to finally meet you.
You too.
Mags talks about you all the time.
She talks about you all the time, too.
You just started at Columbia, right?
In January.
Well, how is it?
Um, I'm still finding my way, but it's good.
I-I've been out of school for a while.
I didn't really take it as seriously as I should have
last time.
I mean, who does? Right?
Well, good luck. It's nice to meet you,
- and we gotta go. - All right.
- Hey, make sure you call Dad. - Yeah, I will.
Are you smoking?
No.
I can smell it on your hair.
- I hang out with people. - Some of them smoke.
I don't know what to tell you.
Yeah.
I'm sorry. Yes, okay.
Sorry. Talk to you later?
- Okay, see ya. - Okay, have a good day.
Bye.
Package bomb delivered this morning.
Victim opened it inside the door,
triggered the explosion.
He's DOA.
Bomb tech said that he was blown to bits.
Thanks for the image, Scola.
Just reporting what I'm told, Maggie.
The house is owned by Henry Lasher.
He's a group supervisor for the ATF
and runs the firearm task force.
He the DOA?
No, it was his husband, Russell Griffin.
Lasher got some cuts, but he should be okay.
The mail carrier said that she didn't
notice anything unusual about the package.
Okay, we'll speak with Lasher.
Bomber could've scoped out this house.
Can you put together a canvas?
See if anybody noticed any strangers
on the block recently.
Also, check all the security and doorbell cams.
We're on it.
Agent Lasher.
We're very sorry for your loss.
Sorry, m-my ears are still ringing.
You're from the Bureau.
We're taking the lead, but we're gonna keep ATF
in the loop.
- Good. - Did you have any warning?
- Have you been getting threats? - No, none.
- Any exes, jilted lovers? - No.
I know where you're going with this, no.
No, there was no one like that for either one of us.
- Okay, what about the work? - Anything worth mentioning?
My unit's been pressing pretty hard
on some anti-government groups, domestic terror cells,
and we had a bust six weeks ago that stirred up some noise.
Online blow back?
Yeah, a ton.
You know, they were saying that,
the guys that we arrested,
they're patriots, and we're traitors.
Okay, we'll look into it.
You always know something can happen to you on the job.
I never thought they'd get Russell.
All right, obviously we're gonna wait
until all the facts are in, but right now,
it looks like the bomb was intended
for the victim's husband, Henry Lasher, an ATF agent,
one of us, and I don't know about anyone else,
but that kind of pisses me off, so let's get to work.
Kelly, where are we with the IED?
So techs collected fragments of PVC tubing, copper wire,
and what's left of a nine-volt battery from the blast scene.
- So your basic pipe bomb. - Yeah.
Wired to explode when the package was opened.
They also found traces of perchlorates.
Perchlorates, what is that again?
They're used for solid rocket fuel and bombs.
Okay, so I'm guessing that stuff is not just lying
around the house.
We need to know how the bomber got it, if he bought it,
who sold it, if he stole it, who from, yeah?
What about the package? What do we know?
Postal Inspection Service says the one
that contained the bomb was dropped off two days ago
- at 10:00 a.m. in Bronxville. - Bronxville?
- Wait, you got video? - Yeah, pulling it up now.
All right, eyes up, people.
That's him.
What do you think, Hobbs? Think we can get facial rec?
- Not enough face to work with. - Yeah, I agree.
Can we track him after he leaves the post office?
I can try.
Street cam footage is spotty in Bronxville.
Trying is good. Let's try.
Package bombs are like potato chips.
People don't stop after just one.
Let's find this guy.
So six weeks ago, Lasher busted eight guys
for plotting to steal automatic weapons
from the National Guard base.
The leaders were two brothers named Hudson.
- And there's been backlash. - Yeah.
The father, Daniel Hudson, has been making some noise.
He posted a bunch of paranoid videos,
yells about conspiracy theories,
and then asks people to donate to a defense fund for his kids.
Not the first guy to work that scam.
No, but something he said did stick out.
It's another example of the police state tactics
of the radical socialist regime in DC.
Why was the ATF spying on my sons?
Because they're terrified that real Americans
are waking up to their fascist plots.
The fact is that my sons did nothing, and they're in jail.
This part.
While the man who arrested them
is in his nice suburban home.
- "Nice suburban home." - He knows where Lasher lives.
And he's the same height and build as the guy
that mailed the bomb.
Okay, Tiffany and Scola are still canvassing, right?
Get Hudson's photo to them.
Let's see if any neighbors recognize him.
Copy.
Daniel Hudson!
Here we go.
I'm Agent Zidan. This is Agent Bell.
We are investigating an explosion
in Special Agent Lasher's house.
We need to ask you some questions.
What questions?
Have you had any contact with Agent Lasher recently?
- No. - Have you been to his house?
No.
Then you wanna tell us why two of his neighbors saw you
ten days ago on his street?
This is from a security camera down the block.
We've ID'd this as your truck, so would you like to try again?
It's not enough you lock up my boys.
Now you come out here.
You try to trick me into perjuring myself,
lock me up, too, for lying to the FBI.
You can't tell me that this is America.
Just answer the question, please.
Yeah, I went out there to talk with Lasher,
have it out with him face to face.
Sat around a couple hours, he didn't show,
I got tired, and I left.
We didn't make contact.
I didn't go to his house.
I never got out of the truck.
So where were you two days ago, 10:00 a.m.?
At the clinic
getting chemo.
Kidney cancer.
How many donations have you gotten?
Hundreds
because people know that what I'm saying is real.
