00:00:20,548 --> 00:00:21,984
I told you to stop calling me.
2
00:00:22,008 --> 00:00:23,694
I know what you're about to do.
3
00:00:23,718 --> 00:00:25,944
You're headed
to the D.A.'s office, right?
4
00:00:25,968 --> 00:00:28,404
Turn around. You're making a mistake.
5
00:00:28,428 --> 00:00:30,824
No, I'm doing what's right.
6
00:00:30,848 --> 00:00:33,704
I'll be fine.
I've secured another position.
7
00:00:33,728 --> 00:00:34,864
The one at DuPont?
8
00:00:34,888 --> 00:00:36,784
Two short phone calls, three max...
9
00:00:36,808 --> 00:00:38,668
I can make that offer go away.
10
00:00:38,692 --> 00:00:41,664
Do what you want.
Nothing will change my mind.
11
00:00:41,688 --> 00:00:43,278
Let's play this out.
12
00:00:43,465 --> 00:00:46,821
You take whatever it is
you think you have to the D.A.
13
00:00:46,845 --> 00:00:49,361
And then I call Ron,
who's a personal friend,
14
00:00:49,385 --> 00:00:52,361
and tell him this case
is not worth his time.
15
00:00:52,385 --> 00:00:55,531
Who do you think he listens to
in this scenario?
16
00:00:55,555 --> 00:00:58,661
Me. Because I did him a favor
a while back.
17
00:00:58,685 --> 00:01:00,581
A favor that saved his marriage.
18
00:01:00,605 --> 00:01:03,797
You wouldn't be on the phone
right now if it were that easy.
19
00:01:04,605 --> 00:01:08,881
How is your dear little Maggie,
by the way?
20
00:01:08,905 --> 00:01:10,301
Peanut allergy, right?
21
00:01:10,325 --> 00:01:12,471
Gosh, those things are so tough.
22
00:01:12,495 --> 00:01:15,221
Mistakes must happen all the time.
23
00:01:15,245 --> 00:01:18,391
I heard she went
into anaphylaxis in 2019.
24
00:01:18,415 --> 00:01:20,891
That must have been terrifying.
25
00:01:20,915 --> 00:01:22,851
I guess you just have to hope
her little body
26
00:01:22,875 --> 00:01:26,111
would survive something like that again.
27
00:01:26,585 --> 00:01:28,571
You're a sick, sick woman.
28
00:01:28,595 --> 00:01:30,231
Put your family first.
29
00:01:30,255 --> 00:01:34,071
This crusade is not
your passion... they are.
30
00:01:34,095 --> 00:01:36,371
You stay away from my family.
31
00:01:44,605 --> 00:01:45,881
Looks like he's leaving.
32
00:01:45,905 --> 00:01:47,251
I've done everything I can.
33
00:01:47,275 --> 00:01:48,921
You need to get those documents.
34
00:01:48,945 --> 00:01:51,143
What exactly are you asking me to do?
35
00:01:51,167 --> 00:01:53,761
Whatever needs to be done.
36
00:02:14,425 --> 00:02:16,951
He spotted me. He's trying to lose me.
37
00:02:16,975 --> 00:02:18,201
Well, go after him.
38
00:02:23,393 --> 00:02:24,911
_
39
00:02:24,935 --> 00:02:26,871
- What's going on?
- The dude crashed.
40
00:02:26,895 --> 00:02:29,091
I don't care. We need those papers.
41
00:02:29,115 --> 00:02:30,671
Figure it out.
42
00:02:30,695 --> 00:02:33,261
Negative. Cops are on site.
43
00:02:33,285 --> 00:02:35,099
I'm not taking that kind of heat.
44
00:02:35,123 --> 00:02:36,309
This is what you're hired for.
45
00:02:36,333 --> 00:02:39,479
- We need those papers.
- I'm sorry. I'm out of here.

47
00:02:56,263 --> 00:02:58,869
Senator Panabaker, Director Cooper,
48
00:02:58,893 --> 00:03:00,749
this is Representative Hudson.
49
00:03:00,773 --> 00:03:02,329
How do you do?
50
00:03:02,353 --> 00:03:04,339
I appreciate you both
51
00:03:04,363 --> 00:03:05,879
being able to meet on such short notice.
52
00:03:05,903 --> 00:03:08,155
Look, Clayton, I have time
for formalities
53
00:03:08,179 --> 00:03:10,339
like I have time
for long walks on the beach.
54
00:03:10,363 --> 00:03:13,179
You got us here. What's this about?
55
00:03:13,203 --> 00:03:14,849
Well, Arthur and I have some questions
56
00:03:14,873 --> 00:03:16,679
about your FBI task force,
57
00:03:16,703 --> 00:03:18,679
and no one seems to be able to answer.
58
00:03:18,703 --> 00:03:21,349
I mean, we had a heck of a time
even getting your name,
59
00:03:21,373 --> 00:03:23,269
- Director Cooper.
- That's intentional.
60
00:03:23,293 --> 00:03:25,724
The nature of our work
is highly classified.
61
00:03:25,748 --> 00:03:27,405
Oh, I understand that, really.
62
00:03:27,429 --> 00:03:29,989
And from what little information
I've been able to glean,
63
00:03:30,013 --> 00:03:31,989
it seems that you've helped close
64
00:03:32,013 --> 00:03:33,869
some of Main Justice's biggest cases.
65
00:03:33,893 --> 00:03:35,449
That's impressive.
66
00:03:35,473 --> 00:03:38,999
However, it doesn't explain
your exorbitant budget.
67
00:03:39,023 --> 00:03:44,329
$282.7 million last year alone,
to be exact.
68
00:03:44,353 --> 00:03:47,749
That's still less than 3%
of the FBI's overall budget.
69
00:03:49,073 --> 00:03:51,839
It's an awful lot
for a single task force.
70
00:03:51,863 --> 00:03:54,286
How is your budget being allocated,
71
00:03:54,310 --> 00:03:57,873
and what is it exactly that you do?
72
00:03:59,493 --> 00:04:01,559
We work with gathered
intelligence to detain
73
00:04:01,583 --> 00:04:04,189
and apprehend criminal suspects
around the world...
74
00:04:04,213 --> 00:04:07,859
criminals that wouldn't
otherwise be on the FBI's radar.
75
00:04:07,883 --> 00:04:09,779
We've thwarted terrorist attacks,
76
00:04:09,803 --> 00:04:11,069
stopped assassinations,
77
00:04:11,093 --> 00:04:13,156
disbanded global conspiracies,
78
00:04:13,180 --> 00:04:14,949
exposed human-trafficking rings
79
00:04:14,973 --> 00:04:16,279
domestically and overseas.
80
00:04:16,303 --> 00:04:19,239
Specifics. We want specifics.
81
00:04:19,263 --> 00:04:21,869
You must have internal case
files that break it all down.
82
00:04:21,893 --> 00:04:23,249
Of course.
83
00:04:23,273 --> 00:04:24,940
I'm just not at liberty
to divulge those.
84
00:04:24,964 --> 00:04:26,379
Says who?
85
00:04:26,403 --> 00:04:27,999
Alright, Congress
and the American people
86
00:04:28,023 --> 00:04:29,549
deserve to know where
their tax dollars are going.
87
00:04:29,573 --> 00:04:31,549
Give me a break, Clayton.
88
00:04:31,573 --> 00:04:33,589
It's a nice sales pitch,
89
00:04:33,613 --> 00:04:35,759
but we both know
too much government oversight
90
00:04:35,783 --> 00:04:39,009
can be harmful to the FBI's
ability to work covertly.
91
00:04:39,033 --> 00:04:41,099
You don't just get to operate
in the blind, Cynthia.
92
00:04:41,123 --> 00:04:42,543
Harold's task force
93
00:04:42,567 --> 00:04:44,463
does incredibly important work.
94
00:04:44,487 --> 00:04:46,447
The funding is being well spent.
95
00:04:46,847 --> 00:04:48,267
You have my word.
96
00:04:48,938 --> 00:04:52,077
Well, we'll see how your word
holds up in front of a judge.
97
00:04:52,567 --> 00:04:55,667
Now, unless one of you
is willing to elaborate,
98
00:04:55,987 --> 00:04:58,023
I think we're done here.
99
00:05:05,256 --> 00:05:07,586
I appreciate you defending us in there.
100
00:05:07,844 --> 00:05:10,961
It means a lot,
which makes this harder to say.
101
00:05:12,671 --> 00:05:14,833
Our case files have been compromised.
102
00:05:14,857 --> 00:05:16,817
What the hell does that mean?
103
00:05:17,217 --> 00:05:18,753
When Reddington was alone
in the post office
104
00:05:18,777 --> 00:05:20,793
during the Wujing incident,
105
00:05:20,817 --> 00:05:23,963
he gained access to our computer network
106
00:05:23,987 --> 00:05:25,963
and removed any mention of himself
107
00:05:25,987 --> 00:05:27,173
from our permanent records.
108
00:05:27,197 --> 00:05:29,412
He wh... What?
109
00:05:29,787 --> 00:05:31,513
How could you keep this from me?
110
00:05:31,537 --> 00:05:33,013
Cynthia, I apologize.
111
00:05:33,037 --> 00:05:35,103
But at the time,
omitting this information
112
00:05:35,127 --> 00:05:36,683
and carrying on with our casework
113
00:05:36,707 --> 00:05:38,773
- seemed like the right thing...
- I defended you.
114
00:05:38,797 --> 00:05:40,627
I always defend you.
115
00:05:41,283 --> 00:05:43,733
If a judge allows them
to subpoena those files
116
00:05:43,757 --> 00:05:45,273
and they've clearly been tampered with,
117
00:05:45,297 --> 00:05:47,283
both of our careers will be on the line.
118
00:05:47,307 --> 00:05:49,153
Not to mention the fact
that you've barely
119
00:05:49,177 --> 00:05:52,163
had any convictions this year,
just a bunch of prison breaks
120
00:05:52,187 --> 00:05:54,073
and dead bodies
splayed out on the floor.
121
00:05:54,097 --> 00:05:55,835
That's a bit of an exaggeration.
122
00:05:55,859 --> 00:05:58,196
Is it? You fix this.
123
00:05:58,220 --> 00:06:01,437
I don't know how, but you fix it.
124
00:06:06,277 --> 00:06:07,923
Harold, why so glum?
125
00:06:07,947 --> 00:06:09,367
Oh, I don't know.
126
00:06:09,728 --> 00:06:11,228
Maybe because I've got a senator
127
00:06:11,252 --> 00:06:13,307
and congressmen breathing down my neck
128
00:06:13,414 --> 00:06:15,180
trying to get access to our files.
129
00:06:15,204 --> 00:06:18,177
Files that have been significantly
compromised because of you.
130
00:06:18,201 --> 00:06:20,680
Well, we've found ourselves
under siege before.
131
00:06:20,704 --> 00:06:24,387
Perhaps it's time yet again
to hunker down,
132
00:06:24,411 --> 00:06:27,427
take a moment, and let it blow over.
133
00:06:27,451 --> 00:06:29,097
Actually, it's not going to blow over.
134
00:06:29,121 --> 00:06:31,273
They've secured a hearing
before a judge for today.
135
00:06:31,297 --> 00:06:33,557
Then we let the wheels of justice
136
00:06:33,581 --> 00:06:36,147
grind at their characteristic
snail's pace
137
00:06:36,171 --> 00:06:37,317
and be fine about it.
138
00:06:37,341 --> 00:06:38,687
Are you hearing anything I'm saying?
139
00:06:38,711 --> 00:06:40,948
The future of this task force
is on the line.
140
00:06:40,972 --> 00:06:43,987
I need you to start giving us
substantial cases again.
141
00:06:44,011 --> 00:06:47,197
Cases that can demonstrate to the
Justice Department and Congress
142
00:06:47,221 --> 00:06:49,237
that we get results and can justify
143
00:06:49,261 --> 00:06:51,077
our significant expenditures.
144
00:06:51,101 --> 00:06:53,157
We've always had
a "we scratch your back,
145
00:06:53,181 --> 00:06:55,135
you scratch ours" arrangement.
146
00:06:55,159 --> 00:06:57,077
But now I'm not so sure.
147
00:06:57,101 --> 00:06:58,287
Well, perk up.
148
00:06:58,311 --> 00:07:00,967
I have a few new ideas to discuss
149
00:07:00,991 --> 00:07:03,284
that will scratch everyone's back.
150
00:07:03,308 --> 00:07:06,507
First, I need you to look
into this container ship.
151
00:07:06,531 --> 00:07:10,097
It's scheduled to arrive
at the port of Baltimore.
152
00:07:10,121 --> 00:07:12,425
This is the hull number.
153
00:07:12,449 --> 00:07:13,887
In the meantime,
154
00:07:13,911 --> 00:07:17,244
I have another case
of the utmost priority.
155
00:07:17,268 --> 00:07:20,123
Blair Foster, Washington, D.C.'s
156
00:07:20,147 --> 00:07:22,592
most infamous fixer.
157
00:07:22,617 --> 00:07:26,117
If corruption is what Dorf
and Hudson are looking for,
158
00:07:26,142 --> 00:07:29,482
then let's shine a light
under every rock in town
159
00:07:29,507 --> 00:07:32,788
and show them what
real corruption looks like.
160
00:07:32,813 --> 00:07:36,372
Ms. Foster has
a legitimate law practice,
161
00:07:36,397 --> 00:07:38,607
but her real stock-in-trade
162
00:07:38,632 --> 00:07:42,012
is her off-the-books private services.
163
00:07:42,037 --> 00:07:44,417
She's stealthy, discreet,
164
00:07:44,531 --> 00:07:47,387
has a way of burying scandals
165
00:07:47,411 --> 00:07:49,536
before the corpses are even cold.
166
00:07:49,561 --> 00:07:50,731
I know of Ms. Foster.
167
00:07:50,756 --> 00:07:52,586
Her reputation certainly proceeds her.
168
00:07:52,911 --> 00:07:54,500
Bureau's been trying to build
a case against her
169
00:07:54,524 --> 00:07:55,968
for years to no avail.
170
00:07:55,992 --> 00:07:58,267
Well, one of her biggest clients
171
00:07:58,291 --> 00:08:00,630
is corporate giant Moder & Sons.
172
00:08:00,655 --> 00:08:02,195
There have been whispers in recent years
173
00:08:02,220 --> 00:08:05,100
of carcinogenic materials
174
00:08:05,125 --> 00:08:07,100
in some of their consumer products.
175
00:08:07,125 --> 00:08:09,045
And I believe the only reason
176
00:08:09,070 --> 00:08:13,240
no lawsuit has ever come
to fruition is Foster.
177
00:08:14,102 --> 00:08:17,787
She runs a legitimate boutique
law firm employing lawyers,
178
00:08:17,811 --> 00:08:20,997
legal aides, clerks, and investigators,
179
00:08:21,021 --> 00:08:23,247
but they rarely file cases...
180
00:08:23,271 --> 00:08:26,467
strange given the power
and influence they wield.
181
00:08:26,491 --> 00:08:29,911
And when they do, the cases
almost always settle or go away.
182
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,757
She employs a disproportionate
number of investigators
183
00:08:33,781 --> 00:08:35,206
for a firm this size.
184
00:08:35,231 --> 00:08:37,584
So it's her work as a fixer
that keeps the lights on?
185
00:08:37,609 --> 00:08:39,409
It appears so.
186
00:08:39,434 --> 00:08:42,516
Most recently, Reddington
believes that Foster
187
00:08:42,541 --> 00:08:44,009
is responsible for the car accident
188
00:08:44,033 --> 00:08:47,277
of a mid-level employee
at the Moder & Sons corporation.
189
00:08:47,301 --> 00:08:49,447
Why would she care
about mid-level employees?
190
00:08:49,471 --> 00:08:52,117
Reddington suspects it was
her effort to silence him
191
00:08:52,141 --> 00:08:54,407
on some internal matter at Moder & Sons.
192
00:08:54,431 --> 00:08:57,157
Luckily, the man, Lawrence Whitaker,
193
00:08:57,181 --> 00:08:58,457
survived the accident.
194
00:08:58,481 --> 00:09:00,038
This may be just what we need.
195
00:09:00,062 --> 00:09:02,875
If the scandals Foster buried
are as explosive
196
00:09:02,899 --> 00:09:06,234
as Reddington claims
and we unearth them,
197
00:09:06,258 --> 00:09:09,837
then Hudson and Dorf
and all the rest of D.C.
198
00:09:09,861 --> 00:09:11,797
will have bigger fish to fry than us.
199
00:09:11,821 --> 00:09:14,829
Ressler, Malik...
visit Whitaker at the hospital.
200
00:09:14,854 --> 00:09:16,724
See what you find.
201
00:09:22,204 --> 00:09:23,494
We're so sorry
202
00:09:23,519 --> 00:09:24,881
you're going through this,
Mrs. Whitaker.
203
00:09:25,370 --> 00:09:29,000
The impact from the crash
caused a subdural hematoma,
204
00:09:29,054 --> 00:09:32,474
but he should be off
the ventilator soon.
205
00:09:32,653 --> 00:09:34,613
I still can't believe this happened.
206
00:09:34,638 --> 00:09:37,438
He's usually such a cautious driver.
207
00:09:37,463 --> 00:09:40,713
He's just been under
so much stress at work.
208
00:09:40,771 --> 00:09:42,992
We have reason to believe
that your husband
209
00:09:43,016 --> 00:09:44,667
may have been in possession
210
00:09:44,691 --> 00:09:47,821
of some damaging material
about Moder & Sons.
211
00:09:47,846 --> 00:09:49,864
Is that true?
212
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,952
He found out something
he wasn't supposed to.
213
00:09:54,607 --> 00:09:57,407
He said that he couldn't talk
about it yet
214
00:09:57,432 --> 00:09:59,833
and that he might not be
working there much longer.
215
00:09:59,858 --> 00:10:01,408
Were they threatening to fire him?
216
00:10:01,597 --> 00:10:03,927
I think they were trying
to push him out.
217
00:10:03,952 --> 00:10:06,662
He started to get paranoid
leading up to the accident.
218
00:10:06,687 --> 00:10:08,872
He said that people were following him
219
00:10:08,897 --> 00:10:10,885
outside the house and work.
220
00:10:10,910 --> 00:10:12,870
I never saw anyone.
221
00:10:12,895 --> 00:10:15,065
But he swears he did.
222
00:10:15,090 --> 00:10:16,406
I wish I knew more.
223
00:10:16,431 --> 00:10:17,867
We'll look into it.
224
00:10:17,891 --> 00:10:20,327
See if we can find out
if he was being followed.
225
00:10:20,351 --> 00:10:24,077
In the meantime, we'll station
an officer outside the door.
226
00:10:24,101 --> 00:10:25,957
Just call us when he wakes up.
227
00:10:29,797 --> 00:10:31,257
Hi, it's Emily Larson.
228
00:10:31,282 --> 00:10:33,072
The FBI is here questioning
Mr. Whitaker's wife.
229
00:10:33,097 --> 00:10:35,437
Of course they are.
230
00:10:35,580 --> 00:10:37,370
What about Whitaker's personal effects?
231
00:10:37,395 --> 00:10:39,355
Did you find the documents
I'd asked you about?
232
00:10:39,380 --> 00:10:40,640
They'd be in a messenger bag.
233
00:10:40,665 --> 00:10:42,285
I went through everything. I'm sorry.
234
00:10:42,310 --> 00:10:43,543
There's nothing here.
235
00:10:45,421 --> 00:10:47,341
Where the hell is it?
236
00:11:00,681 --> 00:11:02,337
Larry Whitaker's wife told us
237
00:11:02,362 --> 00:11:04,497
he believed he was being
followed leading up
238
00:11:04,521 --> 00:11:05,627
to the day of the accident.
239
00:11:05,651 --> 00:11:06,787
I pulled the security footage
240
00:11:06,811 --> 00:11:09,667
from buildings nearby Moder & Sons.
241
00:11:09,691 --> 00:11:11,797
Over the past week,
including the day of the crash,
242
00:11:11,821 --> 00:11:13,877
the same vehicle with the same driver
243
00:11:13,901 --> 00:11:15,116
was stationed outside.
244
00:11:15,141 --> 00:11:16,811
Were you able to run the plates?
245
00:11:16,836 --> 00:11:17,966
The District of Columbia
246
00:11:17,991 --> 00:11:19,741
doesn't have registration
for the vehicle.
247
00:11:19,766 --> 00:11:21,596
We've had no luck
with facial recognition.
248
00:11:21,621 --> 00:11:23,581
I've run it through all our databases,
249
00:11:23,606 --> 00:11:24,936
and it's like he's a ghost.
250
00:11:24,961 --> 00:11:27,727
If he's done the fixer's dirty work,
251
00:11:27,751 --> 00:11:30,817
someone in criminal world
should be able to I.D. him.
252
00:11:30,841 --> 00:11:32,967
I think we should get this
over to Raymond.
253
00:11:32,992 --> 00:11:35,332
I agree. He's still in town.
254
00:11:35,357 --> 00:11:37,067
Take it to him over at the warehouse.
255
00:11:37,092 --> 00:11:38,389
See if he can help.
256
00:11:41,407 --> 00:11:43,447
I couldn't place it.
257
00:11:43,472 --> 00:11:46,692
But I swear I recognize him
from somewhere.
258
00:11:46,941 --> 00:11:49,943
Maybe Panama when we were
doing contracting for Hector?
259
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:52,120
Could be.
260
00:11:52,145 --> 00:11:53,822
Certainly looks familiar.
261
00:11:54,660 --> 00:11:57,283
You don't have a name?
Not even an alias?
262
00:11:57,308 --> 00:11:58,768
No.
263
00:11:58,793 --> 00:12:00,673
But after viewing the footage,
264
00:12:00,698 --> 00:12:02,278
I'm convinced he's military.
265
00:12:02,303 --> 00:12:05,103
His protocols and procedures,
266
00:12:05,711 --> 00:12:07,897
the way he surveils...
267
00:12:09,821 --> 00:12:11,031
Don't laugh.
268
00:12:11,056 --> 00:12:12,466
Wait till you're my age.
269
00:12:12,631 --> 00:12:14,971
First the knees, then the eyes.
270
00:12:14,996 --> 00:12:17,126
Tell that to my right shoulder.
271
00:12:19,011 --> 00:12:21,617
Did you see the tattoo on his finger?
272
00:12:21,641 --> 00:12:23,685
Those numbers can mean anything.
273
00:12:23,964 --> 00:12:25,603
Or something.
274
00:12:26,790 --> 00:12:30,340
The Black Wasps are identified as 4895.
275
00:12:30,365 --> 00:12:32,825
He could be Cuban special forces.
276
00:12:32,861 --> 00:12:35,757
You should reach out to Manny. Manny.
277
00:12:35,781 --> 00:12:38,427
Ah, Dembe, we should hang out more.
278
00:12:38,451 --> 00:12:39,757
I miss us.
279
00:12:39,781 --> 00:12:42,597
Remember that night in Saint-Tropez
280
00:12:42,621 --> 00:12:44,122
with Thomas and Yvette?
281
00:12:44,147 --> 00:12:45,817
What a gas.
282
00:12:45,842 --> 00:12:48,762
Oh, my gosh, Yvette.
283
00:12:50,062 --> 00:12:52,362
I tried to forget.
284
00:12:52,387 --> 00:12:55,927
Excuse me. You're on speaker.
285
00:12:55,952 --> 00:12:58,582
Whitaker just woke up.
We're heading out.
286
00:12:58,607 --> 00:13:00,227
- Any luck on the I.D.?
- We're working on it.
287
00:13:00,252 --> 00:13:01,556
I'll report back soon.
288
00:13:03,097 --> 00:13:04,517
I better get going.
289
00:13:04,542 --> 00:13:07,020
I guess I better get going, too.
290
00:13:07,594 --> 00:13:09,594
Get going where?
291
00:13:09,619 --> 00:13:10,959
Havana.
292
00:13:10,987 --> 00:13:13,107
Raymond, just call Manny.
293
00:13:13,132 --> 00:13:16,392
These things are always
better handled in person.
294
00:13:18,037 --> 00:13:22,457
I had requested some research
files from a few years back
295
00:13:22,482 --> 00:13:24,041
of some of our products.
296
00:13:24,066 --> 00:13:25,747
I'm in quality control,
297
00:13:26,353 --> 00:13:30,693
and I stumbled quite
accidentally upon a study
298
00:13:30,718 --> 00:13:34,130
that stated that Spring 'N Shine
299
00:13:34,155 --> 00:13:38,235
unequivocally contained
carcinogenic compounds.
300
00:13:38,260 --> 00:13:39,640
What's "Spring 'N Shine"?
301
00:13:39,665 --> 00:13:41,585
It's the number-one
multi-purpose cleaner
302
00:13:41,610 --> 00:13:44,891
on the market for 11 years running.
303
00:13:45,617 --> 00:13:48,577
Which is why I was surprised
to find the study.
304
00:13:48,602 --> 00:13:52,022
But Moder & Sons buried the report.
305
00:13:52,231 --> 00:13:56,337
They didn't even try to recall
the toxic product.
306
00:13:56,361 --> 00:13:58,757
Bottles of it had been
in circulation for years
307
00:13:58,781 --> 00:14:00,782
after the study was completed.
308
00:14:01,494 --> 00:14:02,867
People died...
309
00:14:04,330 --> 00:14:05,840
children.
310
00:14:08,677 --> 00:14:11,477
I couldn't in good conscience
remain silent.
311
00:14:11,502 --> 00:14:12,604
So what did you do?
312
00:14:12,629 --> 00:14:15,067
I told a co-worker who I thought
I could trust,
313
00:14:15,092 --> 00:14:18,716
that I was thinking of going
public with what I found.
314
00:14:19,167 --> 00:14:20,797
And the very next day,
315
00:14:21,091 --> 00:14:23,638
Blair Foster was standing in my office.
316
00:14:23,980 --> 00:14:25,907
Did she try to intimidate you?
317
00:14:25,932 --> 00:14:27,225
Not at first.
318
00:14:28,237 --> 00:14:30,287
She was friendly.
319
00:14:30,312 --> 00:14:31,972
We spoke about family.
320
00:14:31,997 --> 00:14:34,877
When she heard that my daughter
was wait-listed at Sidwell,
321
00:14:34,902 --> 00:14:36,402
she said that she could get her in
322
00:14:36,427 --> 00:14:38,437
with a healthy financial-aid package.
323
00:14:38,462 --> 00:14:40,446
So she was trying to bribe you.
324
00:14:40,607 --> 00:14:41,817
Do you have any proof?
325
00:14:41,842 --> 00:14:43,574
She never put anything in writing.
326
00:14:44,567 --> 00:14:48,567
It was all very... casual.
327
00:14:48,701 --> 00:14:51,499
And when I didn't take the bait,
she started to threaten me...
328
00:14:51,930 --> 00:14:53,418
subtly...
329
00:14:54,304 --> 00:14:56,004
then not so subtle.
330
00:14:56,881 --> 00:14:58,631
And she thought that the evidence
331
00:14:58,656 --> 00:15:00,826
of the study was destroyed.
332
00:15:00,851 --> 00:15:03,601
But I downloaded and printed out a copy
333
00:15:03,626 --> 00:15:05,346
before they wiped the server.
334
00:15:05,441 --> 00:15:07,598
Do you have a copy
of that report on you?
335
00:15:08,624 --> 00:15:10,714
No, it's in my car.
336
00:15:11,287 --> 00:15:12,937
Oh, man.
337
00:15:15,610 --> 00:15:16,737
Little help, please.
338
00:15:16,762 --> 00:15:18,135
One minute.
339
00:15:23,087 --> 00:15:25,315
That was work-related.
How can I help you?
340
00:15:25,352 --> 00:15:27,869
I got in an accident yesterday.
341
00:15:27,894 --> 00:15:29,564
I was told my car got towed here.
342
00:15:29,589 --> 00:15:31,164
Alright, I just need your license.
343
00:15:31,189 --> 00:15:32,999
I lost it in the accident.
344
00:15:33,530 --> 00:15:36,711
I have my registration.
345
00:15:37,147 --> 00:15:39,487
It's my corporate car.
346
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:41,010
I'm very sorry, sir,
347
00:15:41,035 --> 00:15:43,085
but I do need
a valid license with a photo.
348
00:15:43,110 --> 00:15:46,860
Listen, it's been
a really rough 24 hours.
349
00:15:46,885 --> 00:15:49,725
My laptop and work stuff are in there.
350
00:15:49,750 --> 00:15:51,309
My car's totaled.
351
00:15:51,334 --> 00:15:53,584
Can't you just help a guy out?
352
00:15:54,931 --> 00:15:56,667
It's from Herbie.
353
00:15:56,691 --> 00:15:58,149
He spoke to local PD.
354
00:15:58,174 --> 00:15:59,344
Mr. Whitaker's car
355
00:15:59,369 --> 00:16:00,668
is at "M" Street Towing in Southwest.
356
00:16:00,693 --> 00:16:01,943
He sent me the address.
357
00:16:15,331 --> 00:16:17,164
FBI.
358
00:16:17,188 --> 00:16:18,656
Hi. Can I help you?
359
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,089
Agents Ressler and Malik.
We need to locate a vehicle.
360
00:16:21,114 --> 00:16:25,204
It's a black Mercedes
registered to a Larry Whitaker.
361
00:16:25,229 --> 00:16:26,599
Is he in some kind of trouble?
362
00:16:26,624 --> 00:16:28,294
He just came by to grab his things.
363
00:16:28,319 --> 00:16:30,223
He's probably still here.
364
00:16:38,514 --> 00:16:41,554
Huh. The guy was just here.
365
00:16:43,321 --> 00:16:46,281
So was his bag. Now it's gone.
366
00:17:06,767 --> 00:17:09,897
Senator Dorf, I've received your motion
367
00:17:09,922 --> 00:17:13,422
to compel the Bureau
to comply with your subpoena
368
00:17:13,471 --> 00:17:15,827
seeking documents related to the budget
369
00:17:15,851 --> 00:17:19,247
and casework of Task Force 836.
370
00:17:19,271 --> 00:17:24,297
I see that both parties have
submitted extensive documents.
371
00:17:24,321 --> 00:17:27,238
Anything I need to know
before we dive in?
372
00:17:27,263 --> 00:17:28,893
To reiterate, Judge Hurban,
373
00:17:28,918 --> 00:17:31,588
our refusal to turn
over records to Senator Dorf
374
00:17:31,613 --> 00:17:34,613
isn't an attempt to obfuscate
what our team does
375
00:17:34,661 --> 00:17:36,372
or how we allocate our funds.
376
00:17:36,397 --> 00:17:38,317
It's an attempt to protect my agents
377
00:17:38,342 --> 00:17:40,302
and our sources, plain and simple.
378
00:17:40,327 --> 00:17:41,697
All of their lives could be in danger
379
00:17:41,722 --> 00:17:43,562
if the nature of our work
was made public.
380
00:17:43,587 --> 00:17:45,547
And as a sitting member of Congress
381
00:17:45,572 --> 00:17:46,902
who's privy to more details
382
00:17:46,927 --> 00:17:50,261
than most regarding
FBI Task Force number 836,
383
00:17:50,286 --> 00:17:51,706
I wholeheartedly endorse
384
00:17:51,731 --> 00:17:53,764
Assistant Director Cooper's position.
385
00:17:54,334 --> 00:17:56,851
Senator Dorf, Representative Hudson.
386
00:17:56,957 --> 00:17:58,997
Any final remarks?
387
00:17:59,290 --> 00:18:01,590
Oversight on law enforcement
388
00:18:01,615 --> 00:18:03,900
is a necessary check and balance.
389
00:18:04,214 --> 00:18:05,754
It's our responsibility,
390
00:18:05,779 --> 00:18:08,289
especially in this current
political climate,
391
00:18:08,314 --> 00:18:09,814
when we've seen what can happen
392
00:18:09,839 --> 00:18:12,155
when law-enforcement agencies' authority
393
00:18:12,180 --> 00:18:13,701
goes unchecked.
394
00:18:14,951 --> 00:18:17,121
We're simply asking for transparency.
395
00:18:17,146 --> 00:18:21,356
While I hear you, Senator,
my job is not to be concerned
396
00:18:21,381 --> 00:18:25,511
with the "current political
climate"... only facts.
397
00:18:25,536 --> 00:18:27,757
I think I have everything I need.
398
00:18:27,941 --> 00:18:30,051
I will try to be expeditious.
399
00:18:39,391 --> 00:18:40,521
Hola, Manny.
400
00:18:42,077 --> 00:18:43,439
Red!
401
00:18:44,267 --> 00:18:46,727
Como estas, my brother?
402
00:18:46,752 --> 00:18:48,903
Well.
403
00:18:49,611 --> 00:18:51,047
You seem very well.
404
00:18:51,071 --> 00:18:54,031
I guess I've got some catching up to do.
405
00:18:55,421 --> 00:18:57,341
So what brings you here?
406
00:18:57,366 --> 00:19:00,851
I have something I
really want to show you.
407
00:19:08,090 --> 00:19:09,510
You flew all the way to Cuba
408
00:19:09,535 --> 00:19:10,825
to show me some old boxing gloves?
409
00:19:10,850 --> 00:19:14,230
Yeah, well... they are old, in fact,
410
00:19:14,301 --> 00:19:16,472
almost 50 years old.
411
00:19:16,540 --> 00:19:20,750
They haven't been used
since the '76 Games.
412
00:19:23,594 --> 00:19:26,424
Those aren't... They can't be...
413
00:19:26,449 --> 00:19:29,369
I know they are, and they can.
414
00:19:29,670 --> 00:19:31,880
Teofilo Stevenson's gloves
415
00:19:31,905 --> 00:19:35,199
from one of his iconic
Olympic performances.
416
00:19:35,897 --> 00:19:39,567
I remember years ago, you told me
417
00:19:39,592 --> 00:19:42,762
how your father would pile
you and your brothers
418
00:19:42,787 --> 00:19:45,587
in the back of his Chevy Bel Air
419
00:19:45,612 --> 00:19:48,902
and take you over
to the Escuela de Boxeo
420
00:19:48,927 --> 00:19:51,299
to watch Stevenson train.
421
00:19:52,050 --> 00:19:55,390
You told me you'd sit there
for hours on end,
422
00:19:55,415 --> 00:19:58,306
just totally mesmerized.
423
00:19:58,344 --> 00:20:00,224
He was something to behold.
424
00:20:00,249 --> 00:20:03,561
So skilled with his feet,
especially for a heavyweight.
425
00:20:03,926 --> 00:20:05,896
A hero among men.
426
00:20:07,591 --> 00:20:08,605
Man,
427
00:20:10,438 --> 00:20:14,877
those are some of the best memories
of my whole life.
428
00:20:14,901 --> 00:20:18,137
Well, they're all yours...
429
00:20:18,161 --> 00:20:21,991
if you can help me with this guy.
430
00:20:23,351 --> 00:20:25,981
I need an I.D. and location.
431
00:20:26,006 --> 00:20:29,086
I suspect he's a former Black Wasp.
432
00:20:29,344 --> 00:20:30,912
I can't.
433
00:20:30,937 --> 00:20:32,409
Too dangerous.
434
00:20:32,434 --> 00:20:33,604
You mess with guys like that,
435
00:20:33,629 --> 00:20:35,593
you end up with a bullet in your head.
436
00:20:35,951 --> 00:20:38,201
Where's your sense of adventure?
437
00:20:38,226 --> 00:20:42,026
And you can't at least put out
some feelers for me?
438
00:20:42,051 --> 00:20:45,761
The last time I tried
to help you I.D. someone,
439
00:20:45,786 --> 00:20:50,232
you shot two of my police
contacts in front of me.
440
00:20:50,457 --> 00:20:52,877
I should have known you had an agenda.
441
00:20:53,030 --> 00:20:55,863
It's probably why Weecha
left you for Adolfo.
442
00:20:55,910 --> 00:20:58,210
Left me?! She didn't leave me.
443
00:20:58,451 --> 00:21:01,410
It's considerably more
complicated than that.
444
00:21:01,435 --> 00:21:02,605
Who told you, anyway?
445
00:21:02,630 --> 00:21:04,413
Straight from the horse's mouth.
446
00:21:05,424 --> 00:21:07,464
Weecha comes through here a lot.
447
00:21:07,489 --> 00:21:09,829
Always comes in for a drink.
448
00:21:09,854 --> 00:21:13,064
She gets mail here. She calls.
449
00:21:13,381 --> 00:21:15,437
Well, if you change your mind,
450
00:21:15,461 --> 00:21:18,849
I'll be in town overnight
in that little inn
451
00:21:18,873 --> 00:21:23,051
a block over from Callejon de Hamel.
452
00:21:28,497 --> 00:21:30,667
As for the gloves,
453
00:21:31,061 --> 00:21:33,537
once they leave Cuba with me...
454
00:21:34,691 --> 00:21:36,087
...they don't come back.
455
00:21:41,517 --> 00:21:44,687
Oh, if you happen to talk
to Weecha, please,
456
00:21:44,731 --> 00:21:46,651
tell her where she can find me.
457
00:21:54,621 --> 00:21:56,671
Richard, please come in.
458
00:21:56,696 --> 00:21:59,616
We need to talk... now.
459
00:21:59,641 --> 00:22:03,181
Could you give Mr. Moder
and me a moment alone, please?
460
00:22:07,601 --> 00:22:10,207
The FBI is at our offices
461
00:22:10,231 --> 00:22:13,207
asking questions with a warrant.
462
00:22:13,231 --> 00:22:14,286
I thought you were handling this.
463
00:22:14,310 --> 00:22:16,957
I am.
Whitaker somehow got on their radar,
464
00:22:16,981 --> 00:22:18,967
but we secured the report.
465
00:22:18,991 --> 00:22:20,927
Without it, there's no case. We're safe.
466
00:22:20,951 --> 00:22:23,023
What about Dr. Feinberg?
He wrote the report.
467
00:22:23,047 --> 00:22:25,137
We have his NDA. We're covered.
468
00:22:25,161 --> 00:22:26,887
Do you think he's gonna honor that NDA
469
00:22:26,911 --> 00:22:28,706
now that there's
a federal investigation?
470
00:22:28,854 --> 00:22:30,916
I don't want any loose ends.
471
00:22:31,364 --> 00:22:33,864
He needs to be taken care of.
472
00:22:36,421 --> 00:22:39,107
There are smarter ways
out of all of this.
473
00:22:39,131 --> 00:22:40,897
What if I could get the investigation
474
00:22:40,921 --> 00:22:42,428
to go away altogether?
475
00:22:43,167 --> 00:22:44,717
How on earth would you do that?
476
00:22:44,742 --> 00:22:45,952
You need to trust me.
477
00:22:46,020 --> 00:22:48,390
I told you this is gonna be clean,
478
00:22:48,415 --> 00:22:49,810
and it will be.
479
00:22:49,997 --> 00:22:51,854
Just let me do my job.
480
00:22:53,481 --> 00:22:55,779
I really appreciate
you showing up for me today.
481
00:22:55,804 --> 00:22:57,344
Of course. You're doing great.
482
00:22:57,369 --> 00:22:59,455
- Alright? See you next week?
- I'll be here.
483
00:22:59,479 --> 00:23:01,837
And if I'm not, dear God, come find me.
484
00:23:09,331 --> 00:23:10,539
Agent Ressler.
485
00:23:10,564 --> 00:23:11,984
I'm Blair Foster.
486
00:23:12,097 --> 00:23:14,597
But you already know
who I am, don't you?
487
00:23:14,622 --> 00:23:15,872
I know you don't drink,
488
00:23:15,897 --> 00:23:17,897
so why don't I buy you a cup of coffee?
489
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:20,507
If you want to talk, we can do it here.
490
00:23:20,531 --> 00:23:22,531
The coffee is free
491
00:23:29,032 --> 00:23:30,910
I just wanted to take a private moment
492
00:23:30,935 --> 00:23:32,478
to let you know that Moder & Sons
493
00:23:32,811 --> 00:23:35,571
intends to fully cooperate
with your investigation.
494
00:23:35,596 --> 00:23:39,056
We care deeply about
our employees and consumers.
495
00:23:39,081 --> 00:23:41,371
Well, you don't seem to care too deeply
496
00:23:41,401 --> 00:23:43,113
about Larry Whitaker.
497
00:23:43,147 --> 00:23:45,447
Larry Whitaker is a troubled man.
498
00:23:45,472 --> 00:23:48,342
He started spreading damaging
lies about the company
499
00:23:48,367 --> 00:23:51,167
after he'd been passed over
for a promotion.
500
00:23:51,192 --> 00:23:52,402
He was embittered by a system
501
00:23:52,427 --> 00:23:54,547
where he was no longer advancing.
502
00:23:54,572 --> 00:23:57,372
I tried to reason with him,
but I can't help someone
503
00:23:57,397 --> 00:23:59,437
who doesn't want to help himself.
504
00:23:59,462 --> 00:24:02,212
Rich Moder is one of the most ethical
505
00:24:02,251 --> 00:24:05,010
and thoughtful C.E.O.s
I've ever come across.
506
00:24:05,035 --> 00:24:07,035
And trust me, I've worked
with a lot of them.
507
00:24:07,060 --> 00:24:08,730
If he's so ethical,
then why would he have
508
00:24:08,755 --> 00:24:11,045
knowingly allowed carcinogenic materials
509
00:24:11,070 --> 00:24:12,530
to stay on store shelves?
510
00:24:12,681 --> 00:24:15,247
That's a fictitious narrative
being driven
511
00:24:15,271 --> 00:24:18,065
by a man who is unhappy and unhinged.
512
00:24:18,633 --> 00:24:20,133
This isn't gonna go anywhere.
513
00:24:20,158 --> 00:24:22,618
This is a waste of your time.
514
00:24:22,941 --> 00:24:26,297
You're meant for something
so much bigger than all this.
515
00:24:26,321 --> 00:24:28,659
- I've done my homework on you.
- Clearly.
516
00:24:28,684 --> 00:24:30,434
You found me at my NA meeting.
517
00:24:30,781 --> 00:24:33,767
Son of a cop who was
killed in the line of duty.
518
00:24:33,791 --> 00:24:37,126
The son goes on to become
a successful FBI agent.
519
00:24:37,580 --> 00:24:39,670
You've had an impressive career.
520
00:24:40,877 --> 00:24:43,297
Anyway, it got me to thinking
521
00:24:43,377 --> 00:24:45,247
there's an empty congressional seat
522
00:24:45,272 --> 00:24:49,242
in the 13th District in Michigan
that represents Detroit.
523
00:24:49,267 --> 00:24:51,640
They want somebody tough on crime.
524
00:24:52,604 --> 00:24:54,734
I think you would be perfect.
525
00:24:54,759 --> 00:24:56,969
A hometown hero returns.
526
00:24:56,994 --> 00:24:58,856
Me? A Congressman?
527
00:24:58,881 --> 00:25:00,319
I know.
528
00:25:00,363 --> 00:25:02,735
That's a wild idea, right?
529
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:07,698
But I'm rarely wrong once
I get a read on someone.
530
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,409
And I could help you
through the process.
531
00:25:11,531 --> 00:25:12,844
First, you'd need to drop everything
532
00:25:12,868 --> 00:25:14,017
and clear your schedule.
533
00:25:14,041 --> 00:25:16,201
No, I'm not dropping anything.
534
00:25:17,957 --> 00:25:19,418
Agent Ressler, in Congress,
535
00:25:19,443 --> 00:25:22,233
you could reach so many more people.
536
00:25:22,258 --> 00:25:24,757
You could make a real difference.
537
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,776
You know, Ms. Foster,
you are worth every penny
538
00:25:28,801 --> 00:25:30,488
those corporate schmucks pay you.
539
00:25:30,512 --> 00:25:32,157
I'll give you that.
540
00:25:32,181 --> 00:25:34,099
Now, if you'll excuse me,
541
00:25:34,371 --> 00:25:36,041
I got to get back to my office.
542
00:25:41,351 --> 00:25:43,311
Thank you for calling me, Manny.
543
00:25:43,336 --> 00:25:45,296
There he is... Red.
544
00:25:45,321 --> 00:25:49,352
I just had the most absolutely
545
00:25:49,377 --> 00:25:51,837
mouthwatering boliche.
546
00:25:51,862 --> 00:25:53,242
Boliche is a bit heavy
547
00:25:53,267 --> 00:25:54,597
for the middle of the day, no?
548
00:25:54,622 --> 00:25:57,372
I'm finding I prefer my dinner at lunch,
549
00:25:57,397 --> 00:25:59,249
a light supper in the evening,
550
00:25:59,290 --> 00:26:01,160
drinks at both.
551
00:26:04,841 --> 00:26:07,817
I assume you've had
a change of mind, yes?
552
00:26:09,551 --> 00:26:10,928
I want to see the gloves again.
553
00:26:12,655 --> 00:26:13,793
Alright.
554
00:26:19,061 --> 00:26:21,021
There they are.
555
00:26:21,183 --> 00:26:22,973
The name.
556
00:26:26,731 --> 00:26:29,007
Julian Flores. And you were right.
557
00:26:29,031 --> 00:26:30,239
He was Special Forces.
558
00:26:30,264 --> 00:26:33,144
He's in Falls Church, Virginia,
living under an alias.
559
00:26:33,169 --> 00:26:35,459
I'll text you the address.
560
00:26:35,484 --> 00:26:37,984
You're not gonna hurt him, are you?
561
00:26:38,009 --> 00:26:39,269
Why?
562
00:26:39,294 --> 00:26:41,166
I kind of know his uncle.
563
00:26:41,191 --> 00:26:42,981
I like the guy.
564
00:26:43,413 --> 00:26:45,253
He'll be just fine.
565
00:26:52,551 --> 00:26:55,305
You know, I was gonna give
those to you either way.
566
00:26:56,014 --> 00:26:57,224
What can I say?
567
00:26:57,249 --> 00:26:59,309
I'm a sucker for a sentimental story.
568
00:26:59,780 --> 00:27:01,660
I appreciate that, Red.
569
00:27:04,127 --> 00:27:06,400
Manny, did you happen to talk to Weecha
570
00:27:06,481 --> 00:27:08,694
since I saw you yesterday?
571
00:27:08,750 --> 00:27:10,000
I did not.
572
00:27:10,025 --> 00:27:11,695
Well, next time you do, would you mind
573
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:12,760
giving her a message?
574
00:27:12,785 --> 00:27:14,491
Do you have a pen?
575
00:27:15,713 --> 00:27:17,503
Here you go.
576
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:27,110
Agent Ressler, is everything okay?
577
00:27:27,135 --> 00:27:28,685
You were gone a lot longer than usual.
578
00:27:28,841 --> 00:27:31,091
That's because I was with Blair Foster.
579
00:27:31,116 --> 00:27:33,536
- She ambushed my NA meeting.
- Wait, what?
580
00:27:33,561 --> 00:27:35,101
Did she say Anything incriminating?
581
00:27:35,126 --> 00:27:39,071
Uh, no. No, she steps right
up to the line without crossing it.
582
00:27:39,096 --> 00:27:40,136
She's bold.
583
00:27:40,161 --> 00:27:41,310
She's not afraid of anyone.
584
00:27:41,335 --> 00:27:44,175
Well, while you were out
with our blacklister,
585
00:27:44,327 --> 00:27:45,867
we think we may have I.D.'d
the researcher
586
00:27:45,892 --> 00:27:49,852
who wrote the report...
Dr. Samuel Feinberg.
587
00:27:49,877 --> 00:27:52,717
He's a researcher at Redlands
Chemical Institute.
588
00:27:52,742 --> 00:27:55,240
And according to their head of research,
589
00:27:55,265 --> 00:27:58,935
Feinberg conducted several
studies for Moder & Sons
590
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:00,500
over a 7-year period.
591
00:28:00,525 --> 00:28:04,958
But his relationship with them
ended abruptly in 2017,
592
00:28:05,043 --> 00:28:07,293
which is the same year the report
593
00:28:07,318 --> 00:28:09,118
Whitaker found was supposedly written.
594
00:28:09,167 --> 00:28:11,064
So what, they stopped working with him
595
00:28:11,089 --> 00:28:14,171
because he concluded that their
all-star product causes cancer?
596
00:28:14,213 --> 00:28:15,260
That's what we're thinking.
597
00:28:15,285 --> 00:28:16,995
It's not a sure bet, but it's
the best lead we've got.
598
00:28:17,020 --> 00:28:20,350
Malik, Ressler...
go talk to Dr. Feinberg.
599
00:28:20,375 --> 00:28:22,382
Not only is he our last chance
to get some proof,
600
00:28:22,407 --> 00:28:24,907
but he may be in danger if Moder & Sons
601
00:28:24,932 --> 00:28:26,442
see him as a threat.
602
00:28:26,467 --> 00:28:28,257
And we could use a win
because I'm just getting word
603
00:28:28,282 --> 00:28:30,192
Judge Hurban has made her decision.
604
00:28:34,071 --> 00:28:36,281
Excuse me. Are you Dr. Samuel Feinberg?
605
00:28:36,940 --> 00:28:38,110
Yes.
606
00:28:38,370 --> 00:28:40,127
Agents Ressler and Malik, FBI.
607
00:28:40,152 --> 00:28:41,572
May we come in?
608
00:28:41,597 --> 00:28:44,807
Of course. I was expecting you.
609
00:28:52,697 --> 00:28:55,801
This is my attorney, Blair Foster.
610
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:59,002
I'd like her to be present
for our conversation.
611
00:29:00,013 --> 00:29:02,723
Agent Ressler, long time no see.
612
00:29:06,447 --> 00:29:10,747
Mr. Feinberg, as you may already know,
613
00:29:10,981 --> 00:29:12,693
we're conducting an investigation
614
00:29:12,718 --> 00:29:14,308
into Moder & Sons.
615
00:29:14,333 --> 00:29:16,793
We understand you did some
research for them at Redlands.
616
00:29:16,818 --> 00:29:18,851
It feels like ages ago now.
617
00:29:18,876 --> 00:29:20,296
But, yes.
618
00:29:20,321 --> 00:29:23,597
To be more specific, we're
interested in a 2017 study
619
00:29:23,621 --> 00:29:26,169
where you concluded that
there was carcinogenic material
620
00:29:26,193 --> 00:29:27,307
in some of their products.
621
00:29:27,331 --> 00:29:28,847
That's not correct.
622
00:29:28,871 --> 00:29:31,727
Are you saying that you
didn't do a study in 2017
623
00:29:31,751 --> 00:29:32,937
on Spring 'N Shine?
624
00:29:32,961 --> 00:29:35,465
I did do a study,
but I never finished it.
625
00:29:35,757 --> 00:29:37,307
The data was unsound.
626
00:29:37,581 --> 00:29:39,751
We have a witness who's willing
to go on record
627
00:29:39,776 --> 00:29:42,776
saying he saw a report of the study,
628
00:29:42,801 --> 00:29:45,341
a complete and very damning one
629
00:29:45,366 --> 00:29:46,786
for Moder & Sons.
630
00:29:46,811 --> 00:29:48,691
And if this report comes to light,
631
00:29:48,716 --> 00:29:49,966
and it comes out that you lied
632
00:29:49,991 --> 00:29:51,451
during a federal investigation,
633
00:29:51,481 --> 00:29:54,443
well, that could end
very poorly for you.
634
00:29:54,624 --> 00:29:56,320
You understand?
635
00:29:57,991 --> 00:30:00,677
If you have any more questions,
636
00:30:00,701 --> 00:30:03,327
you can direct them
to Ms. Foster's office.
637
00:30:03,737 --> 00:30:06,027
I don't have anything more to say.
638
00:30:11,047 --> 00:30:14,587
He lied right to our faces
like it was nothing.
639
00:30:14,612 --> 00:30:16,362
She promised him something.
640
00:30:16,387 --> 00:30:17,557
Apparently, it was worth the threat
641
00:30:17,582 --> 00:30:19,462
of a federal prison sentence.
642
00:30:24,301 --> 00:30:26,037
I tried to get ahold of Harold,
643
00:30:26,061 --> 00:30:28,787
but I had to settle
for the second string.
644
00:30:28,811 --> 00:30:30,577
I really hope there's a point
to this phone call
645
00:30:30,601 --> 00:30:32,022
other than to insult me.
646
00:30:32,047 --> 00:30:35,097
Donald, I can't think of a
better point than to insult you,
647
00:30:35,122 --> 00:30:37,082
but I suppose this will have
to do for the moment.
648
00:30:37,107 --> 00:30:40,197
I'm calling because I have a
gift for you at the warehouse.
649
00:30:40,241 --> 00:30:44,677
Ms. Foster's operative,
Mr. Julian Flores of Havana.
650
00:30:44,701 --> 00:30:46,828
He's waiting and he's ready to talk.
651
00:30:47,371 --> 00:30:48,469
How'd you manage that?
652
00:30:48,494 --> 00:30:50,791
Cost me seven favors
at Immigration Services.
653
00:30:50,816 --> 00:30:54,406
It's not so simple to get stamps
on asylum papers these days.
654
00:30:54,431 --> 00:30:55,931
Seven favors?
655
00:30:55,956 --> 00:30:57,456
What'd you do, move his whole
family over from Cuba?
656
00:30:57,481 --> 00:30:59,981
No. His mistress, her sister,
657
00:31:00,006 --> 00:31:03,716
his mother, two cousins,
a dear friend from high school,
658
00:31:03,741 --> 00:31:06,161
and a dog, which was its own headache.
659
00:31:06,301 --> 00:31:09,518
I shouldn't have even asked.
Look, we're on our way over now.
660
00:31:11,697 --> 00:31:13,497
Look, I don't want to belabor this.
661
00:31:13,522 --> 00:31:15,022
You've all heard my thoughts.
662
00:31:15,047 --> 00:31:18,677
And while there were compelling
arguments on both sides,
663
00:31:18,702 --> 00:31:21,196
I'm ruling in favor of your task force,
664
00:31:21,221 --> 00:31:22,801
Assistant Director Cooper.
665
00:31:22,990 --> 00:31:26,750
It's clear to me that the safety
and security reasons for keeping
666
00:31:26,775 --> 00:31:30,105
your records internal
far outweigh any benefit
667
00:31:30,130 --> 00:31:33,041
Congress might receive
from making them public.
668
00:31:33,367 --> 00:31:34,707
Thank you, Your Honor.
669
00:31:34,732 --> 00:31:38,482
So if you will excuse me,
I am due in court.
670
00:31:38,507 --> 00:31:40,337
I trust you'll see yourselves out.
671
00:31:44,881 --> 00:31:46,513
Well, there you have it, Clayton.
672
00:31:46,538 --> 00:31:47,998
Can we finally put this to rest?
673
00:31:48,051 --> 00:31:50,212
Mnh-mnh. Not today, Cynthia,
674
00:31:50,236 --> 00:31:52,367
because now my interest is piqued.
675
00:31:52,391 --> 00:31:54,877
Yeah, I thought Hudson
had found political gold
676
00:31:54,901 --> 00:31:56,627
with this investigation.
677
00:31:56,651 --> 00:31:59,901
But based on how badly you want
to keep this secret,
678
00:32:00,490 --> 00:32:02,500
I think he might have
found a diamond mine.
679
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:06,395
Now you just sound paranoid.
680
00:32:06,420 --> 00:32:09,535
Well, as a courtesy,
I'm gonna give you a heads up.
681
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:12,331
I'm holding a press conference
later today.
682
00:32:12,377 --> 00:32:14,417
I'm launching a formal investigation
683
00:32:14,442 --> 00:32:16,001
into the task force.
684
00:32:16,026 --> 00:32:18,356
And I... I will be
naming names, Cynthia,
685
00:32:18,381 --> 00:32:20,339
including yours.
686
00:32:21,091 --> 00:32:24,301
I'm more convinced than ever
there's something here.
687
00:32:27,471 --> 00:32:30,640
And we will get answers.
688
00:32:45,791 --> 00:32:47,470
Are these really necessary?
689
00:32:47,661 --> 00:32:50,047
We just wanted you to get
used to the feel of them.
690
00:32:50,071 --> 00:32:52,371
You're gonna be
wearing them a lot real soon.
691
00:32:52,791 --> 00:32:55,082
What could you possibly have on me?
692
00:32:56,137 --> 00:32:57,807
Flores talked, Blair.
693
00:32:57,940 --> 00:33:00,400
We have him on trespassing, stalking,
694
00:33:00,425 --> 00:33:03,345
larceny, identity theft.
695
00:33:03,370 --> 00:33:04,925
Well, he was happy to cut a deal.
696
00:33:04,950 --> 00:33:06,370
Sang like a robin.
697
00:33:06,567 --> 00:33:08,527
I'm supposed to be afraid?
698
00:33:08,552 --> 00:33:10,552
No, you should be aware.
699
00:33:10,577 --> 00:33:13,537
He's implicated you on
multiple federal counts.
700
00:33:13,562 --> 00:33:15,394
You're looking at 10 years.
701
00:33:16,570 --> 00:33:19,650
I have been in badly lit rooms
like this one
702
00:33:19,675 --> 00:33:21,725
more times than I can count.
703
00:33:21,750 --> 00:33:23,370
It's always the same song and dance.
704
00:33:23,395 --> 00:33:25,105
So let's cut to the deal making,
705
00:33:25,130 --> 00:33:27,155
because I'm certainly
not going to prison.
706
00:33:27,180 --> 00:33:29,116
That's awfully arrogant of you.
707
00:33:30,201 --> 00:33:33,448
It's awfully naive of you to
think it would go any other way.
708
00:33:34,540 --> 00:33:37,300
Alright, let's say hypothetically,
709
00:33:37,325 --> 00:33:38,865
we were willing to play ball.
710
00:33:38,890 --> 00:33:42,016
Flores said that you keep meticulous
records on all your clients...
711
00:33:42,041 --> 00:33:44,650
records that only you have access to.
712
00:33:44,711 --> 00:33:46,437
Now, you hand over those files to us,
713
00:33:46,461 --> 00:33:48,107
including the one on Moder & Sons,
714
00:33:48,131 --> 00:33:52,806
and we might be able to work out
a generous immunity agreement.
715
00:33:52,927 --> 00:33:54,562
All of my files?
716
00:33:55,721 --> 00:33:58,117
That's not gonna happen, Don.
717
00:33:58,141 --> 00:33:59,707
There's things in some of those files
718
00:33:59,731 --> 00:34:01,917
that would get me killed twice over.
719
00:34:01,941 --> 00:34:04,776
That was some fancy pitching,
but ball season's over.
720
00:34:04,823 --> 00:34:07,163
I'll risk my day in court.
721
00:34:07,188 --> 00:34:09,197
No files, no deal.
722
00:34:10,321 --> 00:34:13,785
Look, the fact that the FBI
even got this far
723
00:34:13,810 --> 00:34:17,320
tells me there's someone bigger
behind all of this.
724
00:34:17,345 --> 00:34:18,965
So who's really in charge here?
725
00:34:18,990 --> 00:34:21,209
And what is it they want from me?
726
00:34:21,583 --> 00:34:24,003
I'm sure we can find common ground.
727
00:34:24,028 --> 00:34:25,738
There's plenty I'm willing to share,
728
00:34:25,763 --> 00:34:28,763
but I only deal in specifics.
729
00:34:31,110 --> 00:34:32,614
Harold, what can I do for you?
730
00:34:32,639 --> 00:34:34,598
I assume you received my gift.
731
00:34:34,711 --> 00:34:37,761
We did, and he's the gift
that keeps on giving.
732
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:39,630
We were able to bring in Foster
733
00:34:39,655 --> 00:34:40,945
based on Flores' testimony,
734
00:34:40,970 --> 00:34:42,810
and she's willing to make a deal.
735
00:34:42,835 --> 00:34:45,650
But she'll only give us
precise information.
736
00:34:45,675 --> 00:34:49,321
Yes. Well, I suspected she'd be
a formidable opponent.
737
00:34:50,284 --> 00:34:52,874
I want to do the maximum good here.
738
00:34:53,201 --> 00:34:54,797
Dorf is about to have
a press conference,
739
00:34:54,821 --> 00:34:56,257
and he's naming names
740
00:34:56,281 --> 00:34:58,427
in the hope that enough
political pressure
741
00:34:58,451 --> 00:35:01,187
will eventually force us
to show our hands.
742
00:35:01,211 --> 00:35:02,834
We could be done here.
743
00:35:03,060 --> 00:35:04,430
This could be our last case.
744
00:35:04,455 --> 00:35:06,295
I wouldn't be so sure about that.
745
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:08,780
If Ms. Foster wants to be specific,
746
00:35:08,805 --> 00:35:13,345
ask her about December 31, 2013.
747
00:35:13,370 --> 00:35:15,330
See what she has to say.
748
00:35:15,355 --> 00:35:16,615
That's all? Just that date.
749
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:18,266
Oh, it'll be enough.
750
00:35:23,891 --> 00:35:25,787
If you want to cut a deal,
you'll need to turn over
751
00:35:25,811 --> 00:35:27,526
everything on Moder & Sons...
752
00:35:27,551 --> 00:35:32,301
and any information
regarding December 31, 2013.
753
00:35:32,326 --> 00:35:33,956
There it is.
754
00:35:33,981 --> 00:35:36,601
Now we're all playing on the same field.
755
00:35:36,626 --> 00:35:38,926
Care to elaborate on that?
756
00:35:39,121 --> 00:35:41,456
I'll tell you every sordid detail...
757
00:35:41,481 --> 00:35:44,042
as soon as I have my deal in writing.
758
00:35:44,367 --> 00:35:47,167
"And I would like to tell you,
759
00:35:47,841 --> 00:35:50,647
as many of you may know, the..."
760
00:35:50,671 --> 00:35:53,147
It's too late, Harold. No, I'm on in 15.
761
00:35:53,171 --> 00:35:54,987
Nothing you can say will deter me.
762
00:35:55,011 --> 00:35:56,617
I'm holding this press conference.
763
00:35:56,641 --> 00:35:59,349
I understand, but I'm actually
here on other business.
764
00:35:59,590 --> 00:36:01,550
You see, Blair Foster sent me.
765
00:36:10,770 --> 00:36:12,666
Thank you all for coming out today.
766
00:36:12,691 --> 00:36:15,031
I apologize for the delay.
767
00:36:15,056 --> 00:36:16,846
I'll keep it brief.
768
00:36:19,957 --> 00:36:22,127
It's with a heavy heart
that I must report
769
00:36:22,152 --> 00:36:25,667
that due to personal family matters,
770
00:36:26,451 --> 00:36:28,411
I will be taking a leave of absence
771
00:36:28,436 --> 00:36:31,146
from my position effective immediately.
772
00:36:31,171 --> 00:36:32,711
Senator!
773
00:36:32,921 --> 00:36:35,510
It's been my honor
to serve this country.
774
00:36:36,587 --> 00:36:39,427
I would appreciate privacy at this time.
775
00:36:39,452 --> 00:36:41,292
- Thank you.
- Senator Dorf!
776
00:36:47,117 --> 00:36:50,627
I'm sorry. The senator won't be
taking any questions.
777
00:37:00,781 --> 00:37:02,509
_
778
00:37:02,835 --> 00:37:06,224
_
779
00:37:06,249 --> 00:37:07,292
Weecha.
780
00:37:09,171 --> 00:37:11,477
Come in. Come in. Sit down.
781
00:37:18,620 --> 00:37:20,250
He was in again.
782
00:37:20,275 --> 00:37:21,848
Asking about you.
783
00:37:22,437 --> 00:37:24,857
Did you tell him
that we had been speaking?
784
00:37:24,882 --> 00:37:26,227
No.
785
00:37:27,771 --> 00:37:30,315
Oh, he is persistent, isn't he?
786
00:37:30,933 --> 00:37:33,523
He told me to tell you
something if I saw you.
787
00:37:33,548 --> 00:37:35,088
He wrote it down.
788
00:37:48,161 --> 00:37:50,631
I don't know what I'm going
to do with that man.
789
00:37:51,252 --> 00:37:53,251
En serio.
790
00:37:54,310 --> 00:37:55,650
You and me both.
791
00:38:03,647 --> 00:38:05,487
Sure is quiet around here.
792
00:38:05,512 --> 00:38:07,172
The rest of the team is out arresting
793
00:38:07,221 --> 00:38:09,229
the C.E.O. of Moder & Sons.
794
00:38:09,537 --> 00:38:11,957
Well, that's sure
to make the 11:00 news.
795
00:38:12,231 --> 00:38:15,944
Speaking of, Senator Dorf
did a real 180.
796
00:38:15,969 --> 00:38:17,889
It's everywhere.
797
00:38:17,926 --> 00:38:19,766
That had to be your work.
798
00:38:20,054 --> 00:38:22,075
How'd you get him to change his mind?
799
00:38:22,930 --> 00:38:24,244
Blackmail.
800
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:28,039
Good Lord, Harold.
801
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:30,370
Do I even want to know?
802
00:38:30,395 --> 00:38:32,315
Foster had a file on him.
803
00:38:32,340 --> 00:38:34,670
New Year's Eve, 2013.
804
00:38:34,787 --> 00:38:36,207
Dorf's teenage son Michael
805
00:38:36,232 --> 00:38:39,072
was driving high
and drunk after a party.
806
00:38:39,097 --> 00:38:40,517
He miscalculated a turn
807
00:38:40,542 --> 00:38:42,502
and hit a teenage girl, Makayla Johnson.
808
00:38:42,527 --> 00:38:44,247
She was waiting on a city bus.
809
00:38:44,272 --> 00:38:45,722
He paralyzed her from the waist down.
810
00:38:45,747 --> 00:38:47,978
Whoo. Wow. That's awful.
811
00:38:48,003 --> 00:38:49,253
It's terrible.
812
00:38:49,278 --> 00:38:50,698
When his son was taken to the hospital,
813
00:38:50,723 --> 00:38:53,773
Dorf used Foster to ensure
the blood was never tested,
814
00:38:53,798 --> 00:38:55,968
so it all went away
without criminal charges.
815
00:38:56,321 --> 00:38:58,278
Wasn't his entire political platform
816
00:38:58,303 --> 00:38:59,933
based on being tough on drugs?
817
00:38:59,962 --> 00:39:03,042
Yes. So he was hell bent on burying it.
818
00:39:03,361 --> 00:39:05,257
Apparently, his son was
incredibly remorseful.
819
00:39:05,281 --> 00:39:07,137
He wanted to pay for what he'd done.
820
00:39:07,161 --> 00:39:11,347
So Dorf used Foster
to silence his own son.
821
00:39:11,371 --> 00:39:13,897
Michael Dorf has been in
and out of psychological care
822
00:39:13,921 --> 00:39:15,437
since the accident.
823
00:39:15,461 --> 00:39:18,298
Trust me, if anyone understands the need
824
00:39:18,323 --> 00:39:19,783
to bury certain things
825
00:39:19,808 --> 00:39:21,398
when it comes to family, it's me.
826
00:39:21,551 --> 00:39:24,697
But are we really
just gonna let Dorf off
827
00:39:24,721 --> 00:39:26,799
- for obstructing justice?
- Not exactly.
828
00:39:28,031 --> 00:39:30,144
Senator Dorf and I
came to an arrangement.
829
00:39:35,191 --> 00:39:36,537
It's late. I'm just leaving.
830
00:39:36,561 --> 00:39:38,417
Who got to you? What the hell happened?
831
00:39:38,441 --> 00:39:40,648
- Blair Foster happened.
- Oh, the lawyer?
832
00:39:40,673 --> 00:39:42,053
What does she have to do
with any of this?
833
00:39:42,078 --> 00:39:43,578
It doesn't matter. She doesn't matter.
834
00:39:43,603 --> 00:39:45,813
What matters is this is all over.
835
00:39:45,838 --> 00:39:47,298
It's time to move on.
836
00:39:47,323 --> 00:39:49,153
Are you kidding me?
This... whatever this is...
837
00:39:49,178 --> 00:39:51,138
it just continues to prove my theory
838
00:39:51,163 --> 00:39:52,753
that something bigger
is going on out here...
839
00:39:52,791 --> 00:39:54,397
Well, I'm moving on, alright?
840
00:39:54,421 --> 00:39:56,669
I'm done with this. I'm done with us.
841
00:39:56,747 --> 00:39:58,167
And I'm sure you won't listen,
842
00:39:58,192 --> 00:40:01,772
but if I may offer some
parting advice, here goes...
843
00:40:01,797 --> 00:40:03,760
Leave this alone.
844
00:40:04,500 --> 00:40:07,775
You're smart.
You have your whole career ahead of you.
845
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:09,760
No good will come of this.
846
00:40:09,785 --> 00:40:11,267
I'm certain of that.
847
00:40:12,430 --> 00:40:14,640
Go home, Mr. Hudson.
848
00:40:16,481 --> 00:40:19,587
So Makayla Johnson's therapy
and medical expenses
849
00:40:19,611 --> 00:40:21,087
will be paid for by the Dorfs?
850
00:40:21,111 --> 00:40:23,441
For the rest of her life and more.
851
00:40:24,589 --> 00:40:27,242
I guess that's a form
of restorative justice.
852
00:40:27,267 --> 00:40:28,597
That was my hope.
853
00:40:28,622 --> 00:40:31,662
And the task force
lives to see another day.
854
00:40:31,717 --> 00:40:33,289
What about Foster?
855
00:40:34,286 --> 00:40:37,544
She's a free woman. We had to
let her go to get what we needed.
856
00:40:38,774 --> 00:40:41,256
I'm not convinced Hudson
will ever give this up.
857
00:40:42,096 --> 00:40:44,766
What can we say? He's on a crusade.
858
00:40:44,791 --> 00:40:46,469
It's a dog with a bone.
859
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:50,540
I kind of... admire the guy.
860
00:40:51,558 --> 00:40:53,287
Strangely, so do I.
861
00:40:53,311 --> 00:40:55,497
That said, with Dorf out of the way,
862
00:40:55,521 --> 00:40:58,037
I'm not sure there's anyone
who can help the defeated
863
00:40:58,061 --> 00:41:00,797
Mr. Hudson continue his offensive.
864
00:41:09,934 --> 00:41:11,314
Hello?
865
00:41:11,339 --> 00:41:12,669
Congressman Hudson.
866
00:41:12,694 --> 00:41:14,744
It's Blair Foster.
867
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:16,880
I realize you're relatively new in town,
868
00:41:16,905 --> 00:41:19,577
but I'm sure you've heard
my name by now.
869
00:41:19,602 --> 00:41:21,421
I'd like to set a meeting with you.
870
00:41:22,343 --> 00:41:23,513
Regarding what?
871
00:41:23,538 --> 00:41:24,908
How did you even get this number?
872
00:41:24,933 --> 00:41:26,183
I know today's little press conference
873
00:41:26,208 --> 00:41:27,918
didn't go the way you'd hoped,
874
00:41:27,943 --> 00:41:31,283
and that you were counting
on the support of Senator Dorf.
875
00:41:31,364 --> 00:41:33,743
I have some information
I'd like to share with you.
876
00:41:34,107 --> 00:41:35,657
I think it could be the start
877
00:41:35,682 --> 00:41:37,854
of a mutually beneficial relationship.
878
00:41:38,384 --> 00:41:39,844
I'm not sure.
879
00:41:39,869 --> 00:41:42,150
I don't think we really play
the game the same way.
880
00:41:42,900 --> 00:41:44,280
I get that.
881
00:41:44,367 --> 00:41:45,737
I do.
882
00:41:46,024 --> 00:41:47,984
In my experience, though...
883
00:41:48,009 --> 00:41:50,116
it never hurts to take the meeting.
884
00:41:50,860 --> 00:41:54,078
So... what's it gonna be?
