FBI

I'm starving.

Really, after what just happened?

I did my job.

You sentenced a 24-year-old man to life in prison.

I sentenced a 24-year-old hitman to life in prison.

He killed a rival gangster and his 10-year-old daughter.

Trust me, I'm okay with him being in prison

for the rest of his life.

You're such badass.

Want some Chinese food?

Look, I know last night was tough, but you'll be fine.

I know. I just feel so stupid.

It's not your fault.

Sometimes bad things happen to good people.

I swear someone's following us.

Sorry, Mom, I'm just a little off today.

It's okay, sweetie. Come on.

We're almost there.

I know it's a cliché, but life is short.

You gotta find joy in every day, every moment.

Hey, thanks for coming down.

My captain wanted me to get you guys in the loop right away.

It's a federal judge.

Only the fifth time this ever happened in the United States.

Can you believe it?

Who's the other woman?

Her daughter.

- Any witnesses? - No.

Well, not yet anyway. We're still canvassing the area

and looking for video.

Whatever we find, we'll send your way.

Gucci purse next to the mother,

Rolex watch on the daughter's wrist.

Yeah, it doesn't look like the perp stole a damn thing.

Execution of a federal judge and her daughter

five blocks from the courthouse.

Feels more like Juárez than Manhattan.

We need to move fast and make a statement.

You go after a judge and their family,

we will bury you by the end of the day.

I couldn't agree more. We're already looking into

Judge Chapman's recent rulings, verdicts, threats.

I'll let you know the second we have anything actionable.

Okay.

Look, I just want to be upfront.

I have known Leslie Chapman for years.

We go way back to when she was a prosecutor

at the U.S. Attorney's Office.

I'm really sorry to hear that.

She was a great lady.

Strong, honest, and independent.

I want to nail the son of a bitch

who did this.

Oh, Mike, I'm so sorry.

I can't even imagine what you're going through.

I can't believe they're gone.

Doesn't seem real.

We're gonna do everything possible

to find out who did this.

I give you my word.

In the meantime, I think it's better

if you stay inside, stay here,

and we're gonna provide security.

Security? What are you talking about?

Well, whoever did this might be coming for you next.

We don't know that for sure, of course, but...

it's a distinct possibility.

Well, let 'em come.

I'd be happy to stare down the coward who did this.

Mike, if you're up for it,

we'd like to ask a few questions,

because the more we know

the faster we can apprehend whoever did this.

As you may know, a man, Carlos Vertiz,

threatened your wife three months ago in her courtroom.

My wife wasn't, um...

Easily intimidated. She, uh...

so the thought of some idiot

jumping up and down in the courtroom...

spewing threats...

as crazy as that sounds,

that wasn't the kind of thing that would bother her.

I can attest to that.

I never saw Leslie flustered or even nervous.

Do you know if, in the past few weeks,

she received any unusual phone calls, emails, texts?

No, not that I know of.

What about your daughter?

Was there anything unusual happening in her life?

No.

No, she, um...

She quit her job at Goldman Sachs a few months ago.

She...

Wanted to do something different.

Something more fulfilling.

Was she in any sort of trouble?

Was somebody bothering her?

No, nothing like that. She was a g...

she was a good kid.

I mean, she...

she was a great kid.

Oh, Mike.

I don't want this to be my life right now.

No, I'm not aware of any direct threats,

but Judge Chapman was very private.

She never talked to me

about personal or professional issues.

Did you notice anything unusual

over the past few weeks?

Packages or letters?

No, nothing.

What about her behavior?

Was she acting different in any way? More stressed?

No.

Did you overhear any arguments?

Any contentious phone calls?

Yesterday, she was definitely distracted.

And she was yelling into her phone, said something like,

"How long has this been going on?"

Then she left the office for an hour or so.

- What time was that? - Around noon.

Do you know who she was talking to

or where she went?

No, I'm sorry.

If you can think of anything else,

please call me.

Hey, Kristen, it's me. Can you find out

who Judge Chapman was talking to yesterday around noon?

Run her credit cards and rideshare accounts too.

Same time, around 12:00.

'Scuse me.

I'm Agent Bell. This is Agent Zidan.

Hi, how can I help you?

Have you ever seen this woman before?

No, not that I recall anyway. Why?

A car dropped her off

at this address yesterday around noon.

Well, maybe she got dropped off here

but went somewhere else?

What's this about anyway?

We're investigating a homicide.

Double homicide, actually.

What about her?

Lot of people come in and out of here.

it's dark, the music's loud.

It's kind of hard to pick out faces, sorry.

We'd like to take a look at your surveillance footage.

Sorry, we don't have any internal video cameras here.

Too many celebrities and VIPS.

Okay.

We're gonna be executing a search warrant anyway.

Sure thing.

Why would Judge Chapman come here in the middle of the day?

It's not even open at noon.

Maybe to talk to one of the employees?

What, you think she's having an affair

with one of these guys?

It's possible.

There's no evidence of that, though.

No texts or emails.

Excuse me.

Can I ask you a few questions?

Have you seen either of these two women before?

- No, sorry. - You didn't even look.

You ain't paying me, brah. I got work to do.

Hey, I'm asking you a question...

Don't touch me!

Are you out of your mind? Hands on the bar.

Congratulations, badass, you're under arrest.

- Lawyer. - Wow, that was fast.

I'm guessing this isn't your maiden voyage.

Hey, hey, guys, relax. She probably didn't see the badges.

Hey, sir, step back.

There's no reason to jam her up

over a simple misunderstanding. I said step back.

My coat.

What's up, Maggie? It's been a minute.

Yeah, it's been a long minute.

It's great to see you.

Yeah, the circumstances aren't ideal,

but it's great to see you too.

A little help here.

Gina's one of us. FBI.

We're both in the same class at Quantico,

and we worked undercover too. Yeah.

Broke up a sex trafficking ring in Jersey.

Nice to meet you, Gina. Omar.

Sorry about the drink. I had to maintain my cover.

No worries.

How long have you been under?

- 14 months. - With the club?

Ten.

It took me four just to get the job,

another five to work my way up to manager.

That's impressive. They must really like you.

- Yeah. - What are you investigating?

It's more like who.

The owners?

Jack Rossi and Ray Costa.

Two of the biggest cocaine traffickers in the northeast.
