all: Cheers to 16!
Emily, hey.
- Emily! - Oh! Thank you.
- Happy birthday! - Thank you for coming.
You didn't have to get me a present.
Everyone!
all: ♪ Happy birthday... - Cake time.
all: ♪ To you - Aww.
all: ♪ Happy birthday to you
♪ Happy birthday
♪ Dear Emily - Thank you.
all: ♪ Happy birthday to you
Emily's mom was supposed to give a speech,
but nobody can find her.
I've noticed at least half of this family need babysitters.
Well, this will set us back another half hour.
Do me a favor. Check her lav.
No.
Dead air.
Maybe she's out of range.
Where'd we lose her?
Let me check.
Looks like 15 minutes ago, during the fireworks.
I can see her waveforms here.
Sounds like she's by the water.
Are you crazy?
You can't be here.
I had to see you.
If my mom catches you, after last time--
Oh, she only barks.
She won't bite.
I want her to like you, Théo.
Give it time, eh?
If I'm wrong, then we have to run away and join the circus.
Oh.
Happy birthday, ma chérie.
There's a lot of interference, but...
I think she was talking to someone.
What the hell was that?
I don't know.
Em.
Go, go. You have to get out of here.
Em, have you seen your mom?
Oh, my God.
Mom? Mom?
Help!
Somebody help us!
Someone help!
Mom!
I had an interesting dream last night.
Oh, yeah?
Mild, medium, or spicy?
Actually, it was your wedding day.
You mean you had a nightmare.
It just made me realize that we actually
never had the conversation.
And did we need to?
It's not like we were ever really official that way.
I know. We weren't.
But still--
And plus, you know, Raines saved my life.
And I wouldn't want to do that to the guy.
- Do what? - Take his girl.
I mean, you two have a thing, obviously.
That's a cheap shot, Damian.
Hey, it's not a bad thing.
It's just what it is.
I get it. - You know, next time,
just say, "I am hurt you cooled things off, Cam."
The case.
All right, an American woman was shot and killed
at her home in Monaco last night.
Smitty, the floor is yours.
Victim's name is Diane Lambert,
one of Forbes's top 100 wealthiest worldwide.
She was a former beauty queen turned model
from Omaha, Nebraska.
Met her Prince Charming at a fashion show in Paris,
got hitched, moved to the French Riviera,
and had a kid with him.
Now, her husband wasn't just rich.
Pierre Lambert controlled almost half
of Monaco's real estate.
We're talking billions tucked away in a tax haven.
The Lambert name is basically royalty.
And when he died a few years back,
he left Diane the keys to the kingdom.
Full control of the estate.
Now, speaking of kingdom, Monaco's royal family
was close with the Lamberts.
Local PD is opening their arms to us.
All parties want this case in the black.
Given the scope of Diane's business
and her serious net worth,
we have a lot of potential motives,
and a lot of potential suspects.
You said Diane also had a kid?
A teenage daughter, Emily.
It was her sweet 16 party last night.
She found her mother's body. - Brutal.
Any witnesses at this blowout?
Nobody's come forward,
but the family did hire videographers for the event--
Jake Hill and Spencer Clark, U.S. citizens.
These two claim to have a recording
of Diane's final moments,
captured through a wireless mic.
OK, Powell, you and Smitty team up,
pay them a visit.
Raines, since you're cleared for field work,
it's you and Vo.
Band's back together.
What are you thinking?
Losing your mom when you're that young--
I can't imagine. - Mm-hmm.
Hey, you're not rolling with us?
Uh, no. Trial prep.
Yusuf Sydin is going in front of a grand jury.
I'm making sure I cross every T,
so he never sees the sun again.
What are you doing? Go stretch those legs.
The open secret is that many powerful people
hide their money in Monaco, and they do it using property.
If Diane crossed the wrong person--
You think this could have been
a professional hit on her?
We can't rule it out yet.
Everyone from, uh, oligarchs to drug lords
have a reason to own here.
I guess Diane being the gatekeeper,
that gets you some enemies.
What about the fact that she was an outsider?
An American?
They've nicknamed this place the billionaire's playground.
It's not your nationality that matters here.
Besides, over the years, she's given more to this community
than anyone else I know.
Forensics bagged three shell casings left behind.
9 mil.
Nobody heard a thing over the fireworks.
Notice anything?
Three shell casings,
but only two bullet wounds on the victim.
Shooter missed once.
Could have been nerves.
Even ballistics show a lack of precision on the wounds.
Yeah, plus they left the shell casings.
So maybe it's not a professional hit after all.
We also found partial shoe prints here.
Um, the spacing and orientation tells us
that somebody ran that way.
Fled the scene, hopped a couple of gates,
and slipped out the back, where there was no security.
Monaco has a robust CCTV network,
and more police per person than anywhere else in the world.
But here on private property,
it's one big blind spot.
Question is whether the perp knew that.
Madame Lambert's daughter and the American friend
are ready for you.
I'll speak with Emily while you grab Melissa's statement.
I may live 5,000 miles away,
but we have always been as tight as ticks.
Diane was like my sister.
How did Diane seem to you last night?
Anything off about her behavior?
Since middle school, I can count on one hand
the number of times I've seen her nervous.
Totally fearless.
But she was anxious last night.
- You could tell? - No, she told me so.
Diane had this big toast planned
right after the cake-cutting.
She was even dodging her brother-in-law all evening.
Why is that?
Well, you know how families can be.
And those two were known to butt heads.
But the point is,
she didn't want anything to spoil Emily's night.
Emily?
I'm Special Agent Cameron Vo.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
I know how hard this is.
But if it's OK with you,
I'd like to ask you just a few--
It's my fault.
I thought less bodyguards meant...
I just wanted all the guests to be comfortable.
It was your sweet 16. I would feel the same way.
I just wanted to feel like a normal girl for a night.
I screwed up so bad.
You can't keep blaming yourself, Emily.
But you can help shed some light.
There were 100-some people here last night?
Was there anyone you didn't recognize?
I made sure every person was vetted.
You can't show up to these parties uninvited.
Before the party,
she and I got into it.
I just can't believe our last conversation was a fight.
Seems stupid, but...
sometimes it just
felt like she hated all my choices.
How is this helpful?
Uh, they had lighting installations at the party.
RFID messes up the transmitter, but wait for it.
You're the worst thing that--
What's the time stamp on those gunshots?
9:36 PM.
And she was chatting to the perp for what?
- Two minutes. - 20 quid says she knew him.
They wandered away from the crowd.
Any chance you boys brought a drone?
- Bird's eye of the whole party
would come in pretty clutch right about now.
We should have had a drone, but the airline
lost it on our layover.
Gear's not cheap, so I e-tag everything these days.
There she is, all alone at Heathrow.
Whatever you captured last night,
we need it uploaded to our team in Budapest.
Every kilobyte, got it?
What's going on with you and Powell?
It's over.
Ancient history.
Got it.
Armand Lambert, Agents Vo and Raines with the FBI.
Can we have a word?
No need for badges.
And uh, I have already, uh, spoken to my friends
at the police about last night.
We're not the police, but we'd like your perspective
on some things.
We know your sister-in-law oversaw
the majority of properties.
Were you aware of any friction on the business front?
Only Diane, uh, knew the answer to that.
After Pierre died, she took charge of the day-to-day.
And you were OK with that?
There's a little more fun to be had
when you're, uh, not working.
'Cause racing cars the next day is a normal way
to mourn a loved one.
Grieving isn't a competition, agent.
But with a billion-dollar empire
tied to your name,
taking a back seat probably wasn't easy.
I see what this is.
You assume the brother-in-law is plotting for the throne.
But I'm not interested in the company,
I have my, uh, charity work to keep me busy.
Even if you stayed clear, it seems you and Diane
had your differences. - Oh, of course.
We are two stubborn people with ideas.
So what happens to all the money now that Diane is gone?
That's what the lawyers are for.
Given the killer's escape route,
it's possible that they knew the property.
So if the family had any bad blood,
now's the time to speak up.
Eh, I have no stomach for gossip.
But I did learn that Diane's longtime,
uh, chauffeur was terminated recently.
- How'd he take that?
Not my business.
But this same driver was with Diane for 10 years.
Diane's always taken care of the people around her.
He must have really crossed a line.
I was here last night.
High rollers table.
The cameras can prove it.
I never miss a shift.
Well, you haven't missed a shift in only two weeks,
because it seems like you had a different job before that.
So what happened?
It ran its course.
The Lamberts also own this casino.
So let me get this straight.
Diane fires you,
then helps you land another job through their company?
No, it wasn't Ms. Lambert who gave me this job.
It was Emily.
She felt guilty.
Because you got fired?
Diane had a good heart.
We want to make sure whoever did this
doesn't get away with it.
Come on. Talk to us, Saleem.
A month ago, I drove Emily across the border to Nice.
She said she was going to a friend's house
for a school project, but she lied.
It was to see a boy,
Théo Lavigne.
He's a few years older.
When you realized it was a cover story, what happened?
I confronted Emily, of course.
But she begged me to keep it a secret.
Oh, so you lied for Emily.
And it made no difference.
Ms. Lambert found out the truth,
and 10 years of loyalty just disappeared.
I failed her.
Emily's boyfriend wasn't on the guest list.
That's because he's not part of that world.
Théo has no silver spoon.
If people like him want something in life,
they take it.
That rubbed Diane a certain way?
I don't know.
Emily has had a few boyfriends,
but Ms. Lambert was never that protective.
There was just something about that boy.
Hey.
We've been combing through emails
and digitizing Diane's belongings.
Piecing together her private life
might help zero in on our suspects.
OK, we can run that
against the party footage from last night.
Yeah, about that--we're still missing that evidence.
Video guys never sent it over.
Did you try calling?
No answer.
FBI. Anybody home?
Jake! Spencer!
It's clear.
Clear.
It's Jake. I can't take your call right now.
Just leave a message, and I will try to get back to you.
Phone's off. Bags are missing.
Looks like they left in a hurry.
Or somebody got to them.
We'll find them.
Eight pieces of luggage ain't exactly low profile.
The drone at Heathrow.
These lads e-tagged their bags.
That means they're traceable.
Bags are at the marina. They're on the move.
There. 12 o'clock.
They're trying to bail. Go! Go!
Boys,
I thought we had a deal.
If you're looking for the footage,
we don't have it anymore.
And you're just catching a ferry
out of town for no reason?
We're innocent.
You can't detain us. - Try us.
Start talking.
OK, OK.
Look,
the Lamberts are the richest clients we've ever had.
You book a gig like this, it comes with some conditions.
Airtight contracts, NDAs, embargoes.
Legally, that footage isn't even ours.
The family owns it. - They took the files from you?
Technically we, uh-- we gave it to them.
They threatened us with legal action
if we shared the footage with anyone,
including the FBI.
We had no choice.
All right. Forget the NDA.
Tell me exactly who wanted the drives.
So our victim's brother-in-law
went out of his way to poach Jake and Spencer
for their footage.
Current theory is that it somehow implicates him
in Diane's murder.
He has the motive.
Armand lost out on literally billions
when the empire was willed to Diane.
If there's evidence on those drives,
we need them back in one piece.
Armand has lawyered up, but we will get to him.
You two just stay on Emily's boyfriend in the meantime.
Everybody is still a suspect.
Just got to his flat.
Bye.
- Hey, Forrester. - Yeah?
We just pulled a copy of Jake's carnet from customs.
Now, DHS requires each piece of gear
they're carrying to be itemized.
Everything from serial numbers to MSRP.
Get this.
The hard drives they bought came with six months
of free cloud storage.
Whether these guys know it or not,
their footage is backed up online.
- And you can get to it? - No question.
But it's veering into grey hat territory.
We need that evidence to stay admissible, right?
That cloud account belongs to a U.S. citizen,
which means I can push a warrant through.
Music to my ears.
All right, Cinderella.
The gravel on your kicks puts you at the scene last night.
Yes, I went to the house to see Emily.
You had to sneak past security.
Round trip. Through the back.
So?
I do it all the time, eh?
Hey, man. Let me step it out for you.
You ran from a homicide,
in a place where you weren't supposed to be,
where nobody else saw what you were doing--
Somebody did see me.
After the fireworks finished, and I was waiting for Emily,
I saw a man.
I thought maybe it was a guest having a smoke.
Him?
I'm not sure.
It was too dark, and I stayed back.
I was trying not to get caught.
No, no, no, no, no! Don't shoot, please!
Come on out. Take a seat, Emily.
Théo is the only one looking out for me.
It'd be nice if you'd cut him some slack.
You lied to me.
You told me everyone at the party was invited.
I just knew how it would look otherwise.
I loved my mom, but she could be wrong about people.
Is my uncle a suspect?
Théo thinks that--
Because the FBI doesn't have ties to Monaco,
we might actually have the balls
to look into your family.
Help us turn some stones over.
Uncle Armand was never happy with how the estate
was structured after Dad died.
That tracks.
If I were you,
I would dive into some of his charity work.
He's been stuck sitting at the kids' table.
There's a saying here--
Appetite comes with eating.
We have statements of a weekly allowance
that Diane oversaw for you.
And downplay it all you want,
but we know it made your blood boil.
Your brother kept you on a tight leash.
Diane didn't change that.
Which is why you've been stuck doing laps on the track,
while real business is handled.
Two Americans are gonna testify
that you threatened them to conceal video evidence
from the night of Diane's murder.
My client didn't kill anyone--
His family member was murdered.
And instead of helping us,
Armand blocked a federal investigation,
because you have something to hide.
Maybe we should look into the Reveur Foundation.
Got an analyst at HQ with a real thirst
for forensic accounting.
He lives for it.
Give us the room.
- Pardon?
How much do you know?
That you've been using your family property
to launder for the Corsican mob.
And you've been using your philanthropic arm as a front.
Diane controlled everything but Reveur.
A charity you run becomes a side hustle,
so you can skim a little.
I imagine using your family business this way
directly violates the terms of your brother's will.
Did Diane find that out? Is that why she had to go?
I told you, I didn't kill her.
I am guilty of one phone call.
I thought there was privacy.
At one point, I saw the cameraman filming me.
He had a microphone,
and uh, this was a business call,
you see, for the Reveur Foundation.
That's why you wanted the footage?
I had to see how much was taped.
Because you are right.
If I violated the will,
I get nothing.
So with Diane gone, the money gets redistributed,
and you buried the footage to protect your future cut.
I have been patient for my time in the sun.
Yes, I am protecting my future cut.
What else would you do for the money?
Hey. Tate backdoored into
Jake's cloud account and got the footage.
Ernesto and Kyle went through six different cameras
from the night of-- you're not gonna like this.
We matched that time code across the footage.
At 9:36 PM, Armand is in the crowd watching the fireworks.
He couldn't have shot Diane. He was nowhere near her.
What about a hired gun?
I mean, Armand is tied up to the Corsican OC.
Maybe it was just a sloppy hit job.
Except the microphone audio shows
Diane chatting to her killer for several minutes.
Whoever it was, she knew him.
I think we have something.
I'll call you back.
We ran the bad audio through a series of clean-up tools,
open source and proprietary.
It's not perfect, but--
...but we're done.
...how it has to be.
...Florence.
- Who is she talking to? - Unclear.
But I also did a pass with OTD's
machine-learning software.
It isolates human frequencies to make a voice copy,
and now we get this.
...how it has to be.
Forget about-- Florence.
Long time ago.
Magpie.
30 seconds before the gunshots.
That is the voice of Diane's killer.
Play it again.
Magpie.
What the hell is Magpie?
...how it has to be.
...Florence.
Magpie.
So before Diane was killed,
her mic picks up the word "Magpie" from our perp.
Some kind of code word?
There's also mention of Florence.
Florence could be a person.
Lamberts do business all over Europe.
Italy's in the cards.
Maybe a real estate deal there that went bad.
No. Tate apparently checked for all those.
They're dead ends.
What's got your goat?
Just wrapping my head around it.
Diane lived in Monaco for 17 years,
but hung on to all these ties from her hometown.
You can take the girl out of Nebraska, but...
Boom.
Forget about Florence.
Florence is a sodding suburb of Omaha, Nebraska.
Diane's killer knew her from back home.
We should forget about-- Florence.
Magpie.
Magpie was a pet name.
Um, back in 10th grade, Diane dated this guy.
Connor.
Connor Boyd. - Another student?
Yeah, but a few years older, from a school across town.
Charming at first, I guess, but he was a total loser.
Connor was the one who first entered Diane
in the local pageant.
And when she won, that jerk took all the prize money.
The same pageant that kickstarted
her modeling career.
And after that he was more like a pimp
than her boyfriend, trying to control everything,
her money, her looks.
Before she was even comfortable in front of a camera,
he took some photos of her.
Practice, he called it.
What kind of photos?
The kind of photos she never wanted to bring up again.
Even to her best friend.
Look, as far as I know,
those shots never saw the light of day.
The kind of photos someone could use as leverage
against a high-profile socialite?
Oh, my God.
Connor Boyd, Nebraska born and bred.
No criminal record, but his financial history shows
he's got a bunch of failed businesses in the U.S.
Mounting debt, credit problems, no job.
Tracks with Melissa's story.
Boyd latched onto Diane hoping for a meal ticket.
He's managed multiple trips to Monaco.
First a few months after Diane moved there,
twice after her husband died, then there's now.
It looks like most of those visits
coincided with Diane pulling funds
from her Monégasque bank.
Every time this creep shows his face,
he hits her up for cash.
Melissa said Boyd took some lewd photos of Diane
when they were younger.
Turns out he's been threatening to release them.
Diane purged her emails, but we found
their exchanges on Boyd's end.
He'd been blackmailing her for years.
Any time he needed a payday,
he threatened to leak those images.
But on his latest trip,
there was no withdrawal from Diane.
Makes sense.
The final chunk of her inheritance
was released last month.
Those photos surfacing any sooner would have smeared her.
But once her finances were locked in, she cut him off.
Mm.
Diane finally put her foot down.
Boyd snapped.
We have a BOLO on his rental.
GPS is a no-go, and his phone is off.
But only way to track him is make, model, and plates.
We've been charting Boyd's car with CCTV
going back the past 72 hours.
His sedan was near the Lambert estate
the night Diane was killed.
And two nights before,
Boyd drove through the same neighborhood.
We think he was casing the area to plan his escape.
We reached out to law enforcement in Nice,
and they confirmed a vehicle sighting earlier today.
This is CCTV from a bank in the Vernier District
a few hours ago. - We were just there.
That's the street Théo lives on.
Wait, have you been in touch with the family?
Everyone but Emily. She hasn't rung us back.
- Théo, are you at home? - Uh, yes.
- Is Emily with you? - No, she took the train home.
Did she walk to the station?
Yes, like she always does.
It's like a 20-minute train to Monaco,
but I haven't heard from her in over an hour.
Emily's phone-- can we ping her location?
I thought I was overreacting,
but I understand maybe I'm not.
Maybe I should go and look for her.
Just stay put for now. We're on it.
Confirmed a signal.
Emily appears to be within 30 meters of a cell tower
near the shopping promenade.
I'll pull CCTV closest to that area.
That's Boyd's car.
Boyd has barricaded himself with Emily
inside that confectionery shop.
This is now officially a hostage situation.
Store owner says Boyd arrived as he was closing up shop.
He barely escaped himself.
He confirms the hostage is Emily.
We've cleared the area, blocked traffic.
I have snipers on standby,
but we don't have a clear shot.
What's his endgame?
Maybe he figures Emily is his last chance at a payout.
Or he's looking to torch everything Diane ever loved.
We need to find a way to communicate.
Agreed.
If we can get this burner inside--
I got you.
Connor?
Just leaving you a phone so we can talk.
Yeah?
Connor, my name is Cameron Vo.
I'm a special agent with the FBI.
Tell the cops, tell all of your people--
stay the hell back, or you're gonna have a mess
to clean up in here.
We don't want anybody hurt.
Let's figure out how to resolve this
and get everyone out safely.
Can I talk to Emily?
I'd like to make sure she's OK.
Keep listening to me and the girl won't suffer.
Connor, I--
There was a case in Charleston a few years back,
ended with a standoff in a clinic.
Sick hostages inside.
HRT negotiated to deliver medication to the victims
and smuggled a weapon inside.
They took the threat out that way.
What if Emily needs her insulin,
and we go in to administer?
But she's not diabetic.
Boyd doesn't know that.
OK, but how do we tip off Emily
to play along with the ruse?
We tell her in French.
And if Boyd speaks French?
That dude definitely doesn't speak French.
What are they saying?
They're just telling me to stay calm.
You go in with this med bag.
Inside is a syringe loaded with a saline solution,
harmless to Emily.
There's a partition in the bag where we've concealed
a lightweight subcompact.
So if you see an opportunity to neutralize, take it.
Your button cam will give us eyes and ears inside.
Just got the floor plan.
Electrical and adjacent structures as well.
Let's throw it to Tate.
Anything goes sideways in there,
you say the word
and I'll be the first one through that door.
Connor.
Get me a plane out of here and 200 grand in cash.
I can take care of that for you,
but first I've got to take care of Emily.
She's fine.
No, she needs medicine, Connor.
We need to get her insulin,
and we're up against the clock here.
Look, I can bring it over, administer it.
And you let me do that, we will get you
the money and safe passage.
The girl is innocent in all of this.
Fine.
Just you.
Connor?
I'm here, alone.
Let me see your hands.
Turn around.
Lift up your coat.
Is the needle in there?
Let's see.
It's just insulin.
- Ditch the bag. - Connor.
I said toss it!
OK. All right.
No problem.
- He made her. - No.
But that gun's not gonna save her anymore.
Let's go.
Hurry up. Give her the shot.
- Are you all right? - Don't talk to her.
I'm just trying not to hurt the girl.
Oh, she can take it.
Her mother is the queen of hurting people.
She put me through hell for years.
I'm really sorry about that, Connor.
I mean, after all you've done for her,
seems to me Diane's been ungrateful--
Shut up!
Don't try and work me.
You don't even know.
I was just a doormat to her.
OK. Back up. Back up.
Easy.
You're in control.
You know what I learned from one of her closest friends?
That Diane became bitter,
and she was in a loveless marriage
here in Monaco.
Yeah, we had plans for the future.
And she just threw it all away.
Yeah, she wasn't thinking straight,
and we know that.
I made her who she was.
She gets rich, and what do I get?
Where's my piece?
Vo's got him talking, but this guy's a mess.
How much longer? - Almost there.
Diane was weak.
She let everyone around her turn her against me.
It's just not fair.
But you know, the girl that you're holding,
she has a boyfriend too, and their relationship,
it is misunderstood.
Her family, they just don't get it,
and they wrote him off without a fair shot.
And if you think about it, it is just like you and Diane.
Yeah, except Diane got brainwashed
by money and this fake lifestyle.
People make mistakes, Connor.
And now Emily, she's trying to follow her heart
in a way that her mother couldn't.
And she wants something real.
Doesn't she deserve that?
What about what I deserve, huh?
She's losing him.
Nobody gives a damn about Connor!
Good to go. Standing by.
Patch it through.
Is it recording?
We're here tonight to celebrate the love of my life,
my daughter Emily.
Most moms want to raise their kids
to be strong-willed,
outspoken, and ready to self-advocate.
Problem is, then you end up with a teenager
who's headstrong,
opinionated, and self-assured.
But this is the beauty of Emily.
And I've honestly never been prouder.
I've had my share of struggles.
- You don't know struggle. - And I've--
You get everything on a platter.
You strung me along.
You took away years. You ruined my life.
You did this! It's on you!
Police!
Hey, hey!
Freeze!
I got you. I got you. You're safe.
It's over.
- You OK? - Yeah.
It's OK. It's OK.
My mother always told me,
when love stops being served,
get up from the table.
Hmm.
Easier said than done, sometimes.
Not always.
You're doing a hell of a job, Amanda.
Look, when the team gets back, just know...
I'm buying the first round.
That reminds me.
Heard rumblings about a secret spirits drawer
at the old off-site.
I'm always looking for ways to better utilize the space here.
For medicinal purposes, of course.
Did I mention you're exceeding all my expectations?
What do we cheers to?
Uh, I don't know.
It's your moment.
Ah, I don't do well in the limelight.
OK, let me ask you this, then.
What's the most important thing to you?
My daughter, Lili.
To Lili, then.
Do we know what's gonna happen to Emily?
Well, she's still two years from adulthood in Monaco.
Lieutenant Dupont said she'll work on a solution
with a guardianship judge.
Most likely, Emily's inheritance
will stay in a trust for now,
and she'll have an executor of her choosing
until she's of age.
She'll have options.
I can see why Diane was such a mama bear with Emily.
Trying to spare her the Connor Boyd experience.
Emily!
Maybe she was wrong.
Maybe Théo is exactly what Emily needed.
Because that--
that's real.
You crushed it tonight.
So proud of you, Cam. - Thank you.
You good? Do you need anything?
I'm great. Teamwork.
