FBI

- Father. - Katya.

Oh.

I got your message, but I didn't...

I have a present for you.

I already have your book.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

I was coming from a book signing.

No, I have something much more excited.

Your Visa.

You can stay in New York as long as you like.

Despite appearances, I still have friends in high places.

Oh, my God.

I don't know what to say.

Yes.

Follow me, please.

Thank you so much.

Thank you.

Go, go.

Ah! Ah!

Get off me. Help! Let's go!

Police... ah!

- Let's go! - Go! Go!

- Come on! - Get in there!

- I got him. - Let's move!

Look like you're on a date.

Is that that thing where people get together

for dinner and drinks, get to know each other?

I think I've heard of that.

Don't forget you chose this life.

Maybe a time machine?

No, you're stuck with me.

Hey. Agent Bell. This is Agent Zidan.

Detective Gates.

Left the consulate through what they call

the "diplomat's exit,"

but what we call the back door.

Walked right into an ambush.

Three federal agents on protection detail, headshots.

No sign of the man they were protecting.

Hey, can you remove the slugs, get 'em to ballistics, please?

Will do.

Well, their weapons are holstered.

This is Josh Park. He's with DSS.

Terrible business.

Their charge was Victor Beniov,

Russian National.

Former chemist at Moscow.

Word is, he assisted Assad in developing

chemical weapons in Syria.

He made it about face and is currently an inspector

working for Uncle Sam.

Publicity for his book put a target on his back.

State Department called DSS to play bodyguard.

Sound like you were opposed.

You saw what Assad did in Damascus.

He gassed his own people.

If he had anything to do with that...

Um, that's Beniov's daughter.

You want me to bring her over, or...

No, we'll take it from here

- Okay. - Thank you.

Ms. Beniov. Thank you.

I'm Agent Bell. This is Agent Zidan.

I don't understand. Someone took him?

Yes.

We're sorry.

But you people were supposed to be protecting him.

Whoa. There are three good men dead over there

doing a job none of them wanted to.

Ms. Beniov, we're gonna do everything that we can

to find your father.

Kay, if you can think of anything...

I told him not to write this book.

I told him he's better off making amends

outside of the spotlight.

He wasn't dangerous.

He was a hero.

Making chemical weapons.

When my father saw his chance to leave Moscow, he took it.

But only when he knew he could get me out.

That was really brave of him.

You know, he dedicated his life

atoning for his role in the attacks on Damascus.

And his book... his book was supposed to shine a light

on who was really behind those atrocities.

Russia.

They're getting more brazen with their enemies.

Poisonings in the U.K., murdered journalists in Africa.

And Victor Beniov's book must have put him

on the top of their hit list.

Except they didn't hit him.

No, they just lured him to the consulate

with the promise of a Visa for his daughter.

They're saying that he conducted his business

and went out the back door.

Yeah, that is what they're saying.

Of course, the cameras were 86'd, so we have no proof.

If we go with abduction,

they could be trying to smuggle him out through Canada.

Get him back to Moscow, open him up,

see what secrets spill out.

Well, if they didn't kill him to silence him,

maybe they want him for more practical purposes.

Make more chemical weapons.

His daughter's here. His wife's dead.

Mm, you know, my dad worked at the embassy

in Moscow in the '80s.

I was there from age 12 to age 14.

Believe me, if Russian bullies wanna get you to do something,

they will find a way to make it happen.

Okay, let's put a chokehold on all exit points.

- Yeah. - I want airports,

train terminals, bus stations,

the Canadian borders all on elevated alert.

Yeah, let's send agents to private air fields.

And I'll bring the NYPD and State Police up to speed.

Get Beniov's photo in the hands

of every cop from here to Kansas.

Ballistics from the crime scene are in.

Where are Maggie and OA? On their way.

I can take it. Yeah, do that.

- Okay. - Keep me posted on details.

You're not the only one who spent time in Moscow.

- The slugs from the bodies... - Hmm.

Are 9x39 millimeter SP6 rifle cartridges.

Mm-hmm.

Subsonic.

SR-Vikhrs.

Highly specialized assault rifles

with built-in silencers.

A factory outside of Moscow.

Specially designed for the Russian Spetsnaz.

Good work.

Nothing.

Daughter's worried about her father

and you nearly bit her head off?

Come on, show some empathy.

My job is to find him. I'll do my job.

Don't ask for more. Hey.

He gassed people, Maggie.

At least 70 people died in Damascus,

in the most horrible way imaginable.

I get that.

But you and I both know that

we don't get to pick our parents.

So, whatever he did or didn't do,

it's not her fault.

And she's scared.

That's enough.

- Maksim. - Dana.

Too fat.

I tell her not to eat, but...

Before you start...

it wasn't us.

That's a quick denial. I just sat down.

I tell you now or I tell you later.

It doesn't matter when I tell you.

It is what it is.

Russia did not do this.

You lured him into your consulate

with promises of a Visa for daughter.

He had an appointment time. You knew exactly where he was.

Hmm. Which was granted.

And he left just as he entered...

Unharmed.

The weapons were Spetsnaz.

And your missiles are in Yemen.

You always were so smug.

How do you like it here, living in Manhattan?

Better than Kiev,

not as nice as Dubrovnik.

If Victor Beniov makes it out of this country,

you and a dozen other Russian officials

will be on the next flight after him.

Threats don't suit you, Dana.

I don't make threats.

Steven Troy with ATF.

Russian assault rifles in New York

means one of two illegal arms suppliers sold them.

It's not Golan Posner for reasons

I can't get into right now.

Because you'd ask questions I don't want to answer.

Which leaves Kurt Shaw.

Low level climber with big fish ambitions.

If there's a void, this guy fills it.

Well, great. Let's bring him in.

Can't do that.

I have a man who spent four years

working his way inside with Shaw.

I don't wanna burn him.

Steven, buddy, this is why you burn him, okay?

We have an abducted chemist.

That's a threat to national security.

All right, well, what do you need?

An introduction.

He owns a gun range.

Opens for legit business once a week.

The rest of the time he's selling illegal weapons.

Got it.

One more thing. He doesn't like women.
