FBI

Hey, sweetie, it's me.

No, no, everything's fine.

That's why I'm calling. I didn't mean to worry you.

I just--I got caught off guard. We can handle this.

We can handle anything, right?

Yeah, I'll be home in 20 minutes.

We'll figure something out.

Hey, are the kids asleep?

No, um, I'll wake him when I get home.

More fun.

Uh, I gotta go.

I love you.

Sorry. Was I speeding?

Get out of the car now.

Well, look at this timing.

Guess what I just found at home?

Daddy! What's up, baby girl?

How you doing?

Is that mine? What do you think?

I don't know, Dad.

That pink kind of works for you.

Oh, you got jokes, huh?

Abigail, what do you say to your dad

for bringing your backpack? Thank you, Daddy.

You're very welcome.

Tyler, will you buckle Abigail in?

I need to talk to your dad for a minute.

Uh-oh. Better do it.

What's going on?

I was hoping we could grab dinner tonight.

Allan can stay with the kids.

Okay, you're gonna have your boyfriend babysit

while you go on a date with your ex-husband?

Uh-oh. What's going on?

I am thinking about moving out to Scarsdale.

I'm a little confused.

I feel like we've talked about this.

I thought we decided to raise the kids here in the city.

I know but I think it could be really good for them.

The schools are great. The schools are great here.

Yeah, I know, but they cost a lot.

Allan just got a new job in White Plains.

It's a really good opportunity.

You guys are getting serious, huh?

Yeah.

Wow.

There it is.

Well, that's great. That's great.

Congrat--congratulations.

Thank you.

Okay, well, here we go. Mm-hmm.

I got a work call, so I gotta--

Yeah, okay, so we'll talk about everything tonight?

Yep. Okay.

Okay.

Hey. I love you.

I love you.

See you tonight. Yep.

NYPD has asked us to look into a possible abduction.

Abandoned car, ransacked, blood splatter on the pavement.

Robbery gone wrong? Doesn't look like it.

The victim's wallet and keys were left in the car,

which was registered to...

This guy.

Jim Russo, 34 years old.

Last seen at the trucking depot where he worked,

4:30 this morning.

Wife said he never made it home.

What do we know about him?

Commercial truck driver.

Married to his high school sweetheart.

Uh, two kids.

Works 12-hour shifts during the week

and coaches youth soccer on the weekends

and volunteers at a local church

in the little spare time he does have.

So in other words, the guy's a Boy Scout.

Troop 241, earned Eagle Scout in '02.

Come on...

So he was a working man which means

he was not grabbed for the ransom,

so what would have made this guy a target?

Hey, Kelly, you wanna get an ERT team down there,

see if we can find anything the cops missed?

On it.

You guys wanna head down to the trucking depot?

Talk to the colleagues, his boss?

Okay. Uh, what about his wife?

Has anybody notified her yet?

Uh, yeah, Maggie and OA are on the way.

Okay.

You boys play in here while Mommy goes

and talks to these nice people.

Um, God, yeah, I--I don't understand

who would do something like this.

It doesn't make sense.

Well, has anything unusual happened lately?

You know, have there been any arguments or disagreements?

Threats?

Have you noticed a change in Jim's behavior, by any chance?

Um, unusual spending, new friends?

No, Jim is--he's just a-- a hard-working,

good guy.

You know, he doesn't stay out late drinking

or gambling or...

I just--I can't believe that someone...

Why don't you take a minute?

Uh, in the meantime,

do you mind if we take a look around?

Yeah.

Thanks.

So you said you saw Russo this morning

at around 4:38 a.m.?

Yeah, he came in, dropped off his truck,

and punched out. Okay.

Did he say anything to you?

Did he mention anything unusual about his day?

No, he's been driving that beat for years,

Newark to Boston.

The only unusual thing was he got back later

than he usual does.

Found this behind his seat.

Dirt looks pretty fresh.

You know anything about this?

You guys, uh, keep an urban garden out back or something?

No, the shovel's from his tool kit.

All our trucks have them.

I don't know anything about the dirt

or why he'd be using the shovel.

Do you keep records of your truck's routes?

Sweetheart, we're liable for our cargo.

We keep records on everything.

All right, we'll need access to all of it.

Driving information, time stamps,

tracking information,

and, um, for the record,

I like Agent Chazal a whole lot better than sweetheart.

Sorry about that. Habit.

Still trying to adjust.

You guys can have whatever you want.

I'll do anything to help Jimmy.

All right, looks like Russo pulled off the interstate

at 11:53 p.m. last night. Which exit?

Uh, 54 Cedar Street, Branford, Connecticut.

There was a police checkpoint just north of there

and traffic slowed way down

so Russo probably went around it to save time.

Must not have been a very good shortcut.

He went way off route and then he parked

for almost a half an hour. Where?

There's nothing there. It's just woods.

Could explain the muddy shovel.

Yeah, so he sees the police checkpoint

and he pulls off the I-95, takes a detour,

parks for 30 minutes,

and comes back with a dirty shovel?

I feel like there's a joke in there somewhere,

but yeah. Mm.

So while the truck was parked, he did some digging.

Question is, what did he bury?

What's that?

It is this woman that I've kind of been seeing.

It's pretty new.

But you like her? Yeah.

Ah.

Ah, here we go.

Hm?

It's at least 12 grand.

Do you know anything about this?

No. Where did you find it?

In Jim's dresser.

I mean, Jim's always handled the money.

It's, um,--it's probably, like, a rainy day fund or something.

Maggie, we have company.

You expecting anyone?

No.

Gun. Cover them.

Okay, okay, you gotta get down on the ground, okay?

It's gonna be okay. Get down, okay?

Don't move.

FBI. Drop the gun.

Hey, shots fired at 5325 Marshall Street.

Uh, suspects are heading east in a black Escalade.

You okay? Yeah.

Things just got a lot more interesting.

Russo's been gone five hours and we have gunmen

shooting up his house but we still don't have any answers,

so we need to dig deeper. Who are these shooters?

Why are they shooting up the home

of a regular old salt-of-the-earth

truck driver named Russo? Let's go.

We get a hit on the black SUV? I ran the plates.

They're fake. And what about traffic cams?

Surveillance footage?

Well, we're reviewing all the footage we can.

There's so many highways and roads nearby,

it's hard to tell where they went.

All right, keep trying. Hey.

Uh, so ERT found blood from the guy that OA clipped.

We're running it through the DNA database right now.
