- You're going to be fine, sweetie.

Just take a few deep breaths.

It's probably a stomachache or a food poisoning.

I think I'm gonna be sick.

John, I really need to go to the hospital.

- That's not a good idea, babe. I'll get you some water.

Maybe you're just really dehydrated.

- No, I need to go to the hospital right now.

I'm dying.

She's sick, man.

We need to get her to the hospital.

No!

Help!

- She's funny too, like, for real.

I know. It's ridiculous.

If you screw this up...

- No, I'm trying. Trust me, okay?

Been sharing my feelings.

Wow, a complete rebrand.

I sent her a text last night.

Just told her what a great time I had,

that I can't wait to see her again.

- I literally don't believe you.

- I'm telling you, Tiff. I'm a new man.

- So was she overwhelmed by your honesty and vulnerability?

- Well, I don't know. She didn't text me back yet.

- That'll teach you. - Right.

Oh.

Two bodies just found

at General Grant's National Memorial.

- Dog walker found the bodies around 6:15 a.m.

Two victims, one male, one female, both white.

Male has been identified as John Kraus,

25, took one in the forehead.

Female victim, Julia Miller, 22,

wasn't so lucky.

Poor kid.

Oh, my God.

Gutted like a fish.

- Damn, that's some satanic, devil-worshiping thing.

- Robbery? - Don't think so.

We found cash and credit cards in their wallets

but no phones.

Witnesses?

Cameras?

- There are a few over near the monument

but nothing back here.

If I hear anything else, I'll be in touch.

- All right, folks, so two people are dead.

Let's talk about 'em.

According to DHS records,

they returned from Cancun just hours before their attack.

- Okay, a trip to Mexico's helpful.

We scrubbin' airport terminal footage?

Yeah, I'm already on it.

- All right, talk to me about these victims.

Julia Miller, 22.

Student at NYU. Born and raised in New York.

Father deceased. Mother lives in Riverdale.

- Did she file any recent complaints?

Any prior arrests?

Anything that might point to these horrific murders?

- No, nothing obvious, but I'll keep digging.

- What about the male? - Name is John Kraus, 25.

Graphic designer. Graduated from NYU last year.

Parents live in Scottsdale, Arizona.

- Social media? Wait, were they a couple?

Looks like it.

Most of their posts are standard stuff.

Food photos, ski vacations, beach selfies.

- So they just got back from vacation, right?

What did they post about the Mexico trip?

Nothing.

Really? That's odd.

So maybe this Cancun trip wasn't a vacation.

Where are we on that airport video?

Who picked them up?

- Don't know who, but I have a visual on the car.

Good.

Gray Ford picks them up

outside the Delta terminal at 8:04.

- Who is this? Livery, Uber, friend?

- Not sure, I can't see the driver

or the license plate. - Yeah, all right.

We need another shot of that car.

- Gotcha. - What about their phones?

Still can't track them down.

There's nothing registered

to either Julia Miller or John Kraus.

- No phones? How is that even possible?

All right, there are some holes to this story.

Let's start filling 'em.

You said her mom lives in Riverdale, yeah?

- Yeah. - Let's track her down.

Have Maggie and OA talk to her.

- She was a good kid, a good student.

She wanted to be a journalist.

- I can only imagine what you're going through right now.

Do you mind if we ask you a few questions?

- Julia attended NYU, correct? - Yes.

She had one more semester.

And her boyfriend, John?

- He was-- he graduated last year.

He was a graphic designer.

- Okay. Was anything unusual going on?

Gambling, stalking, drugs, something like that?

- Oh, no, not that I was aware of.

What about money issues?

- Of course, they were young and broke

like all kids in their early twenties.

- So the trip they just took to Mexico.

You paid for that?

What trip?

- They were in Mexico for the last three days.

They got back last night.

That's news to me.

I'm not sure how they paid for it either.

- Cause of death for both victims

is pretty straightforward,

but I did find something interesting

in the female DOA's small intestine.

Tiny rubber particles. - That's odd.

- Not if you're smuggling cocaine.

Tox report just came back.

She had lethal amounts of cocaine in her blood.

If the knife didn't kill her, the coke would have.

She's a drug mule.

- Swallows a few balloons, hops on a plane,

one of the packages starts leaking.

- Dealer freaks out, thinks she's gonna die,

so he cuts her open to retrieve the dope.

Anything else, Doctor?

Any physical evidence on the body?

- Yeah, I found DNA in the female's fingernails.

Ran it through database, but came up empty.

- Thanks, Neil. At least we have a motive.

- Pretty nasty one too, but it's a lot better

than all that devil voodoo stuff.

- All right, so the story's coming into focus.

A couple of kids trying to make some money

the wrong way.

We making any headway in here?

- Yeah, pulled some traffic cam video

of the same make and model car exiting the airport

at 8:09, 3 people visible.

- Okay, so we get a license plate?

- Yeah, it comes back to a Benny Gomez, 30,

two misdemeanor drug arrests

and a felony battery conviction.

- Okay, looks like we have a suspect.

Get the LK over to Scola and Tiffany.

FBI.

Benny Gomez, we need to talk.

Hey, there he--Benny.

Hey, wait!

What are you doing?

- Suspect is fleeing east on Florence Avenue in Greenpoint.

Whoa, whoa! Hey!

- We lost eyes on our suspect headed south on 25th Avenue.

Name is Benny Gomez.

5'10 Hispanic male, medium build.

Talk to me.

- We were able to track Gomez on security cams

for ten blocks, but then he disappeared.

- Okay, so he either has a hiding spot

near where he disappeared

or what, he hopped on the subway?

- It doesn't appear he has any family in that area.

- And we were able to check video

at the three nearest subway stations.

- All right, so maybe he took off in a cab or a car.

- Or he stole one? - Yeah, even better.

Maya? - Yeah.

Only one car reported stolen in the area

in the last 15 minutes, a late model Toyota Camry.

License plate OAB-4345.

- I'll try to access the GPS system.

It's empty.

Tiff, I got him.

Is that him out on the roof talking to another person?

- Yeah, that's him, but who's that woman?

- I have no clue. I can't see her face.

- FBI, don't move! - Put your hands up!

Face away from me.

All right, Gomez.

You're coming with us.

You're also under arrest.

- What the hell are you doing, Scola?

- What is going on here, Nina? - He's my informant, okay?

I've been working with him for months

trying to take down the Mexican Regents.

- The Regents? - Yes, and we're close.

He was about to introduce me to his boss,

a guy named Octavio Lopez.

- Okay, well, obviously, we had no idea.

Okay, we tried to talk to Gomez earlier this morning,

and he took off running.

A few hours later, we got a lead,

so we moved on him.

- Why do you need to talk to him?
