Madeline Burke...
you're under arrest.
Jane, where are you?
I'll meet you in the lobby.
Come on...
where are ya?
Wait, I got him!
How much you wanna bet that's Jane under the sheet?
Okay, I pulled a photo of Dominic from Zapata's files.
That's for sure him.
You got anything cleaner?
No, the security system is super basic.
Standard def, tons of blind spots.
We never see him grab her.
I'm not even sure she's alive under there.
Madeline's not talking, and you're not gonna
want to leave Weller alone with her much longer.
All right, send the footage to my tablet.
Keep track of Dominic. He's the only lead we have.
Just tell me where she is!
I see how upset you are,
and I want to help you find your wife.
Believe me, if something like this had happened to my late husband...
Where is she?!
I don't know!
I wish I did.
This is hospital surveillance video
showing your security consultant Dominic Masters
kidnapping Jane Doe.
Your agent with the tattoos?
I... I... I don't see her in that video.
She's on the gurney, under the sheet.
There's no way of knowing that for sure.
Do you really think that we're that stupid?
Do you want me to answer that on camera?
Playing dumb only prolongs the process.
Making things hard on us only makes things worse for you.
I am just trying to be thorough.
I don't see Jane in that video, nor do I see Dominic.
I see a man in a hat with his face obscured.
I am not comfortable making a positive ID based on that footage.
We know that that is Dominic.
We know...
that he took Jane.
So where'd he take her?
How could I possibly know that?
Dominic works for you.
Again, I have to be clear.
A Dominic Masters was an employee of HCI Global,
of which I was the CEO,
until you all started freezing and seizing my assets.
And I'd like to point out that the FBI has had
a longstanding vendetta against my family.
If you want to testify, save it for court, please.
If that is Dominic,
and if, in fact, he has committed some egregious act,
I would be happy to help the FBI clear HCI Global
and myself from any wrongdoing,
as I've done in the past!
But I'm beginning to feel that you are all
holding me responsible for this somehow.
Now, what tipped you off, Mrs. Burke?
Well, if that's the case...
I won't continue this conversation until my lawyer has arrived.
I will make sure that you rot in prison.
For the rest of your life.
And I would like to deal with someone
a little less emotionally involved in this case.
Agent Zapata, perhaps.
I always liked her.
What do we got?
Dominic stole an ambulance.
We tracked it to a parking garage near Barclay Center,
but it looks like he ditched it and swapped it for another car.
Did anyone report a stolen vehicle?
Not yet... we've been trying to tag and track
every car in the garage, but it's the worst possible timing.
The Islanders game just got out,
so there's too many cars.
It would take days to find the right one.
We don't have it... FAA's ready to reopen the skies.
So call Weitz.
I did, the order's coming from the top.
We grounded flights to catch Madeline.
Now that she's in custody,
DOJ can't justify the cost
of what's basically a missing persons case.
Even if that missing person is an FBI agent?
It's not my call.
All right.
Wai-wait! Hang on, hang on.
What if we foot the bill ourselves?
I have a bunch of Bitcoin stashed away somewhere,
and I know you're sitting on some pretty sweet Wizardville money.
I mean, how much could this thing cost?
- $15 billion. - That's it?
Yeah, but last time, that's just what it cost to bail out the airlines.
Yeah, but this is completely different.
That was three days of nationwide grounded flights.
We're talking about the early hours of day one,
so divide that cost by three,
and if we only keep New York's airspace closed,
that's another 50% we save.
That's not how the math works.
Okay, not helping, all right?
Look, I know you don't like to talk about it,
but you definitely have some extra millions
sitting around to spare Jane's life.
Excuse me, he said billion.
With a "B."
Did you say B... did you say...
Oh, I heard million. That's my pr...
I'm sorry. As you were.
You could have said something.
I did!
Could have said something sooner.
- I need you to call Weitz again. - My hands are tied.
If Dominic gets Jane on a private jet, we might not see her again.
So what I'm asking for is...
I've been calling Weitz ever since we got Madeline in custody.
I have no more wiggle room.
We don't know what Dominic wants from Jane.
Okay?
So if we can at least keep the private airfields grounded...
There you are!
Assistant Director Reade. Sorry I'm late.
I was on my way to Orlando with my family,
but my flight was grounded for an FBI manhunt?
Uh, forgive my attire, I came straight from the airport.
- What a mess, huh? - I'm sorry, who...
Please don't apologize. I get it.
I mean, the kids were disappointed for sure.
We were doing a whole Wizarding World thing,
park-to-park passes, front-of-the-line lanyards,
a hotel on the lot for early bird access.
Sure, it costs a little bit more,
but you can't put a price tag on memories like that.
They're at that perfect age where magic is still very magical.
Oh, let me see if I got a picture over here.
Ohh!
Damn it, that was a new phone, too.
Who are you?
Richard Shirley, Esquire.
Shirley, Gervais, Karlie, Hohua & Cicino.
You're Madeline Burke's attorney.
Oh, my goodness.
Shirley! Hello! Bury the lead, why don't you?
Yes, I am Ms. Burke's lawyer, and I just want to thank y'all
for taking my client into protective custody.
This whole cartel situation is out of control.
She's not in protective custody. She's in regular custody.
As in she's under arrest.
There's been a misunderstanding.
If there has been, it's yours.
She was arrested trying to flee the country.
No, my client was trying to flee a cartel hit man.
Hell, I'd be running for my life, too.
It's a terrifying situation, just terrifying.
The cartel was neutralized.
That didn't stop your client from using them as cover
for her own killings.
And now she's actively involved in the kidnapping of an FBI agent.
Mm, I don't think so.
My understanding of the situation
is that a cartel member kidnapped your agent,
just like an infamous cartel hacker
attempted to crash Air Force One.
Look, I'm happy to clear all this up,
but I'm starting to think my client's being railroaded,
and I would like to see her now.
Oh, and we should probably talk next steps for her release.
Sir...
A call just came in from a man saying he knows where Jane is.
Well, hey, that sounds promisin'.
- Put it through to my office. - Yes, sir.
I just texted Patterson. She's gonna trace this call.
This is Assistant Director Edgar Reade
and Special Agent Kurt Weller.
Put Madeline Burke
on a plane and fly her to Moscow, and you get your agent back.
Simple as that.
There's no point in disguising your voice.
We know who you are.
I have no knowledge of that.
I've been asked to broker a deal.
For who?
A separate but interested party,
acting of their own volition.
Madeline Burke has no knowledge of this call.
Okay, you must know nothing's ever that simple. We don't negotiate...
I'm not a terrorist, I'm a businessman.
I'm giving you the deal of a lifetime.
One way or another,
Madeline's getting out of this.
The same can't be said for your agent.
Where is she?
She is running out of time.
I'll call you back.
Where is my wife?!
Oh, what the...
