FBI

Get the hell back! I mean it!

I'm a cop.

Call 911.

Espresso, cappuccino,

if you're feeling really boring, I could do a latte.

Just promise me not to ask for oat milk.

Hey.

Hey. No time for coffee.

Always time for coffee.

No, Jubal texted... Somebody shot up a pawn shop

and killed a cop in the process.

Okay. All right, let's roll.

I could drive us down to the scene.

No. No, no. I...

You can just drop me off at my car.

I mean, last night was fun.

You're pretty incredible, but I just want

to keep it between us for now.

Of course.

No problem.

Two DOAs.

First one is ours, Detective Max Villa,

choked on his own blood.

Other is Chet Roberts, 58, owner of the place.

So what are we thinking, robbery gone bad?

Not sure.

Witnesses say he had a bag,

but it doesn't look like anything was taken.

Description?

Male.

Slight build, brown skin, wearing a red ski mask.

All right, let's start canvassing

for witnesses, security cameras.

He was a good kid.

Crossed paths with him a few times.

Always had a smile on his face.

What was he doing here?

He worked property crimes. Could be he was on a case.

Both your detective and the owner had their weapons out.

Any chance they shot their attacker?

Negative.

Roberts got out a couple of rounds,

but both went through the glass doors.

Well, red ski mask guy must have been quicker on the draw.

Or he already had his gun out.

Let's take a look at the footage.

I already tried. They're not even hooked up.

Weird, right?

All right, folks, so we got two people dead,

one a business owner and the other, a member

of New York's finest, and we've been

asked to step in because... Anyone?

Because the pawn shop is a financial institution.

That's right.

Human beings' very first financial institution,

which puts it squarely in the FBI's purview.

And it is up to us to find justice.

So with that in mind, what do we know?

The civilian's name is Chet Roberts.

He's the sole owner of the pawn shop and no criminal history,

but we did the standard dive into his financials,

and something isn't adding up.

Roberts reported only $38,000 of income last year.

Yet he bought a $160,000 Mercedes Benz three weeks ago.

Okay, so maybe he's doing some shady business

out of the shop.

That would explain why the cameras weren't working.

So what do we know about this deceased police officer, Villa?

He was on duty at the time.

Newly minted detective over at the 88th.

Left behind a wife and three-year-old daughter.

And forensics?

No prints or DNA, but shell casings

indicate a .40 caliber was used.

Rounds extracted from our victims

show no ballistic record on file.

And how are we doing with the search

for our friendly neighborhood traffic cam footage?

Anything workable, maybe something

with a guy in a red ski mask?

Been trying, but coverage in the area is spotty,

and camera angles from local businesses

aren't doing us any favors.

Let's find out why Detective Villa

was there in the first place.

Maybe that'll give us some answers.

Yeah, here's hoping. Nina and Scola are down there

talking to his lieutenant right now.

Kid was on the job for less than a week.

Didn't even have a partner yet.

Any idea what Detective Villa was doing here?

He mentioned something this morning about signing up

a new informant.

- You got a name? - No.

Was it out of this location?

Not sure.

I've got 20 detectives, each handling

a dozen or more cases.

Hard for me to know their every move.

Understood.

We are going to need Villa's file concerning this location

sent over to 26 Fed ASAP, okay?

Not a problem.

Thanks.

It looks like Detective Villa was recruiting

the pawn shop owner, Chet Roberts, to be an informant,

so maybe whoever they were working on case on

realized Roberts was a CI.

It's a pretty strong incentive for someone

to want them both dead. Exactly.

So now, we just have to figure out who that person is.

Cui malo, as the ancients say. Who suffers?

Whoever sold the stolen goods to the owner, right?

Any idea of who Villa was investigating yet?

Well, there's only one criminal history search

in the file.

And the timestamp indicates that he pulled it

right before he went to the pawn shop.

Okay, I want an introduction. Eyes up, people.

Okay.

Logan Reid, 38, three prior arrests

for fencing stolen goods. No convictions.

Uh-huh. You got an address on him?

Not a current one,

but we do have a registered cell phone for him.

Checking location services and call history now.

All right, focus on the morning...

Time of the murder.

Can we place him at the scene?

Yes.

His cell pinged in the vicinity of the pawn shop

within minutes of the time of the murder.

Is the cell still active?

Yes, in Manhattan near Madison Square Park.

Go get him before he disappears.

We're close.

He's about 200 feet away, headed north.

I got him.

He is passing the water fountain,

wearing a blue jacket.

On it.

Logan Reid! FBI!

Guys, we lost him. Last seen heading south.

Got him.

Hey! What the hell?

Where's the guy you got the jacket from?

I don't know.

Dude gave me 20 bucks and told me to put it on.

Hey, guys, he ditched the jacket.

We lost eyes on him.

FBI.

- You got him? - Yeah, we got him.

- .40 cal. - South side of the park.

Pull the car around. Got it.

Is that registered?

Nope.

I guess you got some explaining to do.

City is dangerous.

A man has a right to protect himself.

A man does, but he does not have the right

to carry a concealed, unregistered weapon.

Or to shoot people.

Where were you at 7:54 this morning?

Asleep.

That is so funny, because your phone was wide awake,

at the scene of a double homicide.

Chet's dead?

Along with the police officer that

he was talking to about you.

And we know that you were fencing to Chet,

so do not lie to us.

But I didn't kill anyone.

Yeah, you're going to have to convince us.

Well, how about this.

Drop that gun charge, I'll tell you did it.

Uh-uh.

You tell us who did it, and maybe we'll make

your gun charge disappear.

Well, I don't have an exact name,

but I did see the shooter.

Ran right past me, jumped in the car.

Check my phone.

I snapped a photo of the guy when he drove off.

So Logan's Glock .40 is not a ballistics match

for the murder weapon, and he did, in fact,

have a picture of a car on his phone,

though whether that's our shooter

or some random commuter is a mystery yet to be solved.

Okay, car plate comes back

to a stolen Toyota out of Brooklyn.

Police report confirms the suspect

was wearing a red ski mask.

So Logan was telling us the truth.

Elise, do we have a GPS lock on that car's navigation?

Yes, running it now.

Shots fired on the 400 block of Liberty Avenue.

We're in pursuit.

Hey, apply pressure right here, okay?

Help is coming. Let's cut him off.

He's in the alley.
