FBI

Hurry up. We only got 15 minutes.

Keep your mouth shut.

Twenty-two's up.

Yeah, I gotta figure out what I'm gonna do.

Oh, thanks. Oh, thanks.

Viva, may I help you?

Hi, I'd like to speak with Angela Perez.

She's not here right now. May I take a message?

No, that's okay. I'll just call her cell.

Thanks.

Hello?

Hi, I'm looking for Angela Perez.

Who's this?

Special Agent Maggie Bell. Who's this?

Detective Bryan Conway, NYPD.

Agent Bell. Yes.

Detective Bryan Conway. Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you. What happened?

Abduction. Like I said on the phone.

Victim's name is Angela Perez. Female, late 30s.

How do you know the victim?

We were working together on a confidential matter.

We were supposed to meet for coffee this morning.

That's why I called her cell.

If you want the case, you got it.

We have a double murder over in Bed-Stuy,

so I'm more than happy to hand this one off.

Great. What do you have so far?

Well, victim's cell phone, recovered at the scene.

And a witness named Allison Harper.

She saw the abduction.

Thank you.

Hey. What's going on?

Angela Perez was abducted.

You're telling me the woman we just found out was talking

to your husband prior to his murder went missing?

Out of the blue?

Well not out of the blue, per se.

I went to her office yesterday after you told me about her.

Did you talk to her? Yeah, I told her

that I was with the FBI and I wanted to ask her

some questions about Jason.

She got really nervous when I mentioned his name,

but she was willing to talk to me.

She just didn't want to speak in the office.

So we were going to meet for coffee this morning.

She didn't show up.

Because she was too busy getting abducted.

Do you think this is connected to Jason?

That, I'm not sure about. Look at this.

I think it had something to do with this woman, Nicole Cramer.

So Jason is writing an article

about a tragic whiz kid, meets Angela,

has dinner with her... And then he gets murdered.

Okay, I'm going to go talk to the witness.

Why don't you head over to Angela's apartment?

It was crazy. It was like out of a movie.

It all happened so fast. Can you be more specific?

The man, he was walking down behind this woman.

They looked like two young handsome

Wall Street types, you know?

Then out of nowhere he pops

the trunk, puts a gun to her head,

throws her inside, and drives off.

It took, like, two seconds.

It's like he was stalking her until she got next to the car.

What color was the car? It was dark. Grey or black.

Did you get the license plate?

No. It's okay.

Which way did he drive off?

Thanks for the update. I appreciate your candor.

And like I said, there's no obvious connection

between Jason's murder and Angela's abduction.

Not yet, anyway. I understand,

but the mere fact that there could be a connection

has me concerned. Concerned about what?

Your ability to move forward in an objective manner.

I'm fine. I'm good, I promise.

Look, my sole focus right now is to

find Angela as fast as I possibly can.

And if somehow this case turns out to be connected

to Jason's death, then that's a bonus for me.

And if not...

Then it's not.

Okay.

Thank you.

Maggie.

I want to be kept in the loop every step of the way.

And just so you know, if there is a connection,

you will need to step aside.

Grab all electronic devices.

We need to check the bedrooms

and bathrooms for third-party DNA.

I'm sorry, you can't go inside.

I'm Angela's friend. You need to let me in.

I live next door, please. Let her in.

Go ahead.

Is Angela okay? Did something happen?

Well, I'm sorry to tell you this,

but Angela was abducted at gunpoint this morning.

Oh, my God. I was just with her last night.

I-I stopped by after work.

What was her mood like?

She was freaked out.

She said the FBI came to her office

and started asking questions.

And she was saying all these crazy things, too.

Like what?

Like she might end up dead.

Did she tell you what was going on?

Why she thought the FBI wanted to talk to her?

No. I asked, but-- What about her personal life?

Did she go to night clubs or use drugs?

Angela? God, no.

Her only vice is working too much.

She's at her office 24/7.

Okay, do you know her supervisor's name?

Angela's missing?

She was abducted at gunpoint this morning.

Oh. Where did this happen?

Outside of her apartment. Brooklyn Heights.

Do you know if Angela was in any kind of trouble?

She owed money to anybody?

No. No, she's incredibly careful with her finances.

She's the Chief Financial Officer for God's sake.

What about her personal life?

Anything unusual going on?

She split up with her boyfriend a while back.

But she didn't really seem that upset about it.

Well, what about him? Was he upset?

I don't know.

Do you know his name?

Nathan Post. He's an architect.

We used his firm

to design our hotels.

Okay. If you can think of anything else.

Thank you. Of course.

Kristen found some video of the sedan

used in the abduction: a black 2017 Ford Fusion,

registered to a 54-year-old African American woman

named Candace Walters. No priors.

But it wasn't reported yet so whoever stole it

stole it recently.

Ian just tapped into the car's GPS system.

Found its current location.

We know how long the car's been sitting here?

No. Ian and Kristen are trying to pull up video

but they haven't found anything yet.

I got the key.

Open up the trunk.

OA, there's a shoe.

Body!

It's her.

Son of a bitch just left her here like she was garbage.

Cause of death is cerebral anoxia due to strangulation.

Looks like he used a ligature. Most likely a thin wire.

It was pretty violent, too.

Crushed the hyoid bone to pieces.

Did he leave any DNA behind? No, nothing.

All we found were trace amounts of neoprene.

He was most likely-- Wearing latex gloves.

Any sign of sexual assault?

No, but there is evidence of abuse.

Or should I say torture?

Looks like someone pulled her fingernails off with pliers.

God.

Clearly the killer was trying to extract information.

And when he got what he wanted or realized

she didn't know anything, he strangled her.

So the question is, who did the strangling?

And why did he want her dead in the first place?

What did she know? What was she doing?

How the hell does this connect to Jason?

Well, since our abductor's young and white

and the car owner is not so young and white,

let's assume the car is stolen.

Check police reports, local and state.

See if we can't find out where this Ford Fusion was ripped.

We ID the car thief, maybe we ID our killer too.

Hey, Jubal? Yeah?

You got a sec? Yeah, what's up?

Okay, well, I was helping Maggie investigate

her husband's death in my spare time,

and I...

What? Tell me what's going on.

I discovered some texts between Jason and Angela Perez.

This Angela Perez?

Yeah, they were in touch prior to his death.

They actually had dinner together the night

before his death, and so I told Maggie.

And Maggie went to see her,

and... Oh.

You didn't do anything wrong.

You were just helping Maggie out.

Kris?

You got nothing to feel guilty about.

Angela's death is not on you.

You understand that?

Okay. Thank you.

Yeah. Okay, now find out where the hell
