FBI: Most Wanted

Look, I'm sorry, I can't help you.

And you need to leave me alone.

Hey, 60 seconds out.

Don't call me again.

I mean it.

Is everything okay?

In three, two...

- I'm Chance Evans. - And I'm Lauren Baxter.

Tonight, the search for a missing

Bennington County toddler continues

as authorities extend their search.

Take what you want.

Hand over the bag.

All I want is your computer.

No, no, no.

Two rules in life... never go to the grocery store hungry

and never go to a pet adoption fair lonely.

I don't know what happened.

I entered this fugue state and came out

with five frozen pizzas and little Bartlett here.

Bartlett?

- It's dignified. - What is he, a CPA?

A partner at the law firm

of Bartlett, Bartlett, and Bartlett?

Says the man who named our pet hamster

after the FBI director.

Hoover wasn't named after J. Edgar.

He was named after the vacuum cleaner.

Remember how Mikey used to let him eat off his plate?

Speaking of Mikey...

Oh, I knew it.

What?

That's why you're really here.

That woman making the documentary

about Mikey's murder case.

Her name is Serena.

I know who she is.

She came to see me after I spoke

at Larry Michael Davis's hearing in Florida.

Tried to pitch me on being in her dumb movie.

She called me too.

Davis's cancer is progressing.

He's in hospice.

And she wants us to do what?

Send flowers to our brother's killer?

She wants you to go on camera.

She's trying to manipulate you to get to me.

She is just trying to tell Mikey's side.

What the hell?

Our brother was executed.

There are no sides to that.

I know that.

But the rest of the world doesn't.

Serena interviewed Davis from his hospital bed,

said that it was compelling, really humanized him.

Doesn't Mikey deserve that too?

Mikey deserves to rest in peace.

Bartlett, it was a pleasure.

Hey, thanks for peeing on my rug.

You can do what you want with Serena.

Just leave me out of it.

Where the news crews?

Had a murder in their news station parking lot

and not a single reporter covering it?

That's because the reporter is dead.

Lauren Baxter, 28 years old,

anchored the 5:00 news last night,

then was gunned down leaving the office a few hours later.

Back of the head.

Casings are on their way to Ballistics.

BOLO's out on vic's car, which toll cams caught crossing

into Massachusetts ten minutes after the shooting.

Making this one ours.

Got it. Any witnesses?

I got something even better.

All right, the mask will prevent facial rec,

but what's that on his hand?

Is it a birthmark or a scar?

Let me see if anything pops in the database.

All right, so he held her at gunpoint for the bag.

Now, if she wouldn't have fought him off,

would he have killed her?

Well, you can rob someone in a dark alleyway,

but why pick the most well-lit

Orwellian parking lot in Vermont?

My gut is telling me this was targeted.

Any family in the area?

Yeah, she has a husband named Josh.

He lives in Woodford.

Ray and I will take him.

Kristin and Barnes, run down her coworkers,

personal life, professional grudges.

It's all fair game.

Without a fugitive ID, our priority

is nailing down a motive fast.

She started here as an intern straight out of college, and...

One week later,

she was on payroll as a reporter.

Had you noticed any changes in her recently?

Actually, yeah, she seemed a little distracted,

agitated, maybe.

Agitated, exactly.

Last night before air, I...

I overheard her phone call.

It sounded contentious.

It was a personal call?

It's hard to say.

She could have been dealing with a reluctant source.

A source?

Just because local TV news isn't glamorous

doesn't mean that it isn't serious.

Reporters pitch, produce, investigate their own stories.

We're gonna need a list of all the stories

Lauren was working on.

She kept all of her research on her laptop

so she'd always have it on her.

I see.

Thank you both. - Thank you.

I told her.

I told her this was gonna happen.

This guy was escalating and she was gonna get hurt.

Who was escalating?

Are you saying your wife was being harassed?

She had a stalker.

Connected to a story she reported on?

I don't know.

Lauren never revealed her stories

or her sources to anyone.

But my gut tells me no.

This was personal.

And how do you know that?

The guy was obsessed with her.

He was phoning every night, begging her to be with him,

calling her his soulmate.

Did she block his number?

Yeah, and that just pissed him off even more.

Last week, I found the lug nuts on her tires unscrewed.

You guys report any of this?

I begged Lauren to call the police.

She was afraid they'd take her off

the hard-hitting stories at work

if they knew that she was in danger.

Job meant everything to Laura. It gave her purpose.

She'd rather die than lose that.

She was brave, that's for damn sure.

And that bravery may have gotten her killed.

Hana, any luck with that call Lauren's producer said

she made before the show? - Not exactly.

I traced it to a truck stop payphone in Needham, Mass.

Now, there were multiple calls made to Lauren's phone,

indicating stalker behavior.

All made late at night?

Yeah, and all from the same masked number.

So that's gotta be the stalker.

You unmask it yet?

Have we met?

Harry Watt, 42 years old,

lives five miles from the news station.

He did time for domestic violence.

He's got two separate restraining orders

from two different women.

Sounds like a real charmer.

Drop the address to Kristin and Barnes.

They're closer. We'll meet them there.

Do you want me to contact Pownal PD?

No backup.

This guy's just a suspect.

We go in hot, we spook him.

Mr. Watt, this is the FBI.

Got a few questions for you.

Barnes.

Barnes!

Talk to me. - I'm okay. I'm not hit.

Tahoe.

We got shots fired at 319 Horseshoe Lane.

Requesting PD backup.

Clear.

Clear.

It wasn't just Lauren he was obsessed with.

It's called a parasocial relationship.

The viewer develops an obsession with the person

on their screen, like me and Betty White,

only this is next level.

Hey, guys, we got a big problem.

I just found this on his dash.

Timestamped yesterday evening.

Called the boat rental company and they confirmed.

Harry Watt was 150 miles away

in Lake Winnipesaukee when Lauren was killed.

Okay, so this can't be our guy.

Why'd he go all Rambo on us?

What's up?

Hana, the restraining orders against Watt...

Either of those women live on Lake Winnipesaukee?

Hold up.

Charlotte Neil, a newscaster in Guilford.

Back to square one.

I know you're Lauren's source.

It was all on her laptop.

Give it to me.
