FBI: Most Wanted

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,

the prosecution will have you believe

that Travis Russell is a calculated,

vindictive man. No.

- A calculated, vicious man who... - Hey!

- Where is he? - Next door.

You sure about that? I know you're new at this,

but you need your client to actually be present in court.

- Don't worry about it. - It's my job to worry.

Travis' trial is an hour, and I get a little uneasy

when my 250K bailout starts ghosting me

when he should be answering my calls.

Jackie, I have been checking on him all night.

Yeah? Well, let's go say hello.

Mr. Russell, open up!

Room key.

Was I supposed to ask for one at check-in?

Why don't you go make yourself a waffle in the lobby?

Travis!

Don't make me come through this door!

You didn't hear anything?

- I was practicing my opening. - Great.

Now we got 58 minutes to find this guy.

Yeah. It's good.

Hey, you need some help?

- No, no. - We’re we’re good, thanks.

- Give me the keys. - What?

I'm taking the car. Give me the keys.

What the hell you are. Madison, get in the car.

Hey!

- My God! - Ben!

Ben! Please!

Please don't...

Very nice, Tali. Stay relaxed.

Okay, don't let him lope. You're in control.

Pick that shoulder up. Don't let it drop.

Good.

Good!

Very good.

You must be the dad.

Nelson and Marilou said you were picking Tali up.

I'm the dad. Jess LaCroix.

Sarah Allen.

Tali's got a real knack for this,

and she's kind too. Your kid's a good one.

I'm thinking of keeping her.

That's probably a good idea.

Is this really her first time in the ring?

I mean, she's been around horses most of her life,

but with her grandfather.

She's a natural. At home out there.

That's good to hear.

She's been having a tough time lately at school.

New school. Trying to fit in.

New schools, new cities,

it's like getting on a Tilt-A-Whirl.

You know, when everything in your life is out of whack,

it's good idea to have something

that's just yours and yours alone.

New cities?

How long you been in New York?

What's today?

Um, I guess it's been six months.

Where you coming from?

New Mexico.

There's a new one, you know?

- Yeah. - Yeah.

So I've heard.

Whatever talent Tali has,

she got it from her mom's side of the family.

Your wife, right?

Tali's mom. Passed about four years ago.

I'm sorry.

I just, saw the ring.

Yeah.

Dad, check this out!

You're doing great, honey.

Okay, okay, let's cool her down.

Let's take her back to the barn and untack her.

What about you?

What about me?

You married or...

Um

"or" is more like it.

Sorry, it's probably my work calling.

It's no problem.

It was nice meeting you.

Yeah, you too.

LaCroix.

Meet where?

Guys! Hey!

Is that what's her name?

Yep, that's what's her name.

- You want the down-low? - We can talk to the PD.

Our fugitive is Travis Russell.

He's supposed to be in court today

for the first day of his trail.

This is his lawyer here, George.

He skipped on me today,

killed these two, took their gun,

and their Camry.

Male victim is an off-duty cop,

but guess you already know that

'cause they called in the big guns.

- What... - Great question.

- And no. - Here you go.

The car predates both the Bush administration

and GPS technology.

So let's get rolling on that BOLO.

Are you a bounty hunter or a bail bondsman?

Bonds person.

I own my own shop, and I do both...

Hunt down people who leave me high and dry like Travis has.

Either way, you're not FBI.

We got this, Jackie.

Thank you.

Back in the day, you know, that chick in the Bronx?

Sorry, you can't.

The one who murdered her boyfriend

and then their kid, not in that order.

How'd you find her?

You located her.

After I bribed the hotel clerk

to find out where she was camped out.

And that Clark Rockefeller wannabe

who killed his wife and took all her money?

How'd you bring him in?

When you climbed in the back of his truck

and rode home with him.

Guess that makes me an essential worker here.

You need me on this one, Jess.

Okay, how long has Travis been out on bail?

Two weeks.

He was staying at a motel down the block with his lawyer,

George, here, prepping for trial.

- So why'd he pull a Houdini? - No idea.

He's a divorcé and a security guard at a strip club.

Charge was homicide

for the murder of a woman named Emily Holt.

- What was the motive? - Take your pick.

She was wealthy, single, eccentric,

tried everything from psychics to acupuncture

to find her soul mate.

If it was Travis, she would've stopped.

He was a stranger to her.

What was the State's case against him?

They were trying for the home invasion gone wrong angle,

but they evidence was circumstantial at best,

and plus, Travis had no priors.

We had a great case.

Did Travis know that?

I told him we had a good chance to win.

It makes no sense to me why he'd skip.

Why on the day of his trial,

and then carjack and murder two complete strangers

in a parking lot?

All right. Well, appreciate it.

So he's escalating.

Yeah, well, it's definitely gratuitous.

Some rage going on there.

Why don't you check in with the ex-wife,

see if she has insight as to his state of mind?

I'll check on that motel room.

I'm going with you, Jesse.

I want this guy as much as you do.

What? It was locked.

I had to improvise.

So he was planning on dressing for court.

He left in a hurry.

I smell coffee.

Ooh.

Chain of custody.

Be my guest.

You know, should you ever find yourself in a room

with one of those, don't use it.

Number one way people make meth

according to my clientele.

You think Travis was high on drugs?

No. It's just a word of warning.

He didn't just throw it at this TV.

He attacked it.

Well, it was full. He was pissed.

He wasn't planning on skipping.

Something on that TV set him off.

Travis, listen to me! Travis, I swear!

I don't know where she is. I haven't seen her in months.

- Liar. - Isn't she at the house?

Ooh, I didn't think to check there.

Stop.

You can have the money.

It's bad luck for you.

I don't want the money.

I wanna know where she is.

I'm telling you...

Where is she?

Where is she?

I've been trying to wrap my head around

the idea of Travis as a killer for the last six months,

and now you're telling me he's killed two more people,

and he's on the run from the FBI?
