Quotes
-
Assistant Special Agent in Charge Jubal Valentine : All right, listen up, everybody. This is not over yet. Howard Kirkland's killer is still at large. Now, our Brooklyn robbers somehow knew every detail of the original crime, so we need to go over everything from this morning's robbery with fresh eyes; witness statements, street cams, 911 calls. Look for anything that stands out from the three Queens robberies. Leave no stone unturned.
-
Assistant Special Agent in Charge Jubal Valentine : All right, people, the Dog and the Rat have struck again. It's like a kid's book. Two stores in one day. Means they're getting greedy and, hopefully, sloppy. Let's use this to our advantage. So, OA saw one of the robbers fleeing. Did not get a good look at his face, but said he was wearing a green hat, a black backpack, and he swung a left on Forest Street. Where are we with the street cams?
Elise Taylor : Pulled everything within a three-block radius. Caught this.
Assistant Special Agent in Charge Jubal Valentine : Mm-hmm. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Green hat. Can you... can you zoom into his wrist, maybe?
Elise Taylor : [doing so] Crescent tattoo. That's our guy.
Assistant Special Agent in Charge Jubal Valentine : Aha, boom. There it is.
Kelly Moran : Pulled the cab's medallion number. Got access to the interior camera footage.
Assistant Special Agent in Charge Jubal Valentine : Okay, yeah, that's a good shot. Can we run that through facial rec?
Kelly Moran : Already on it.
Assistant Special Agent in Charge Jubal Valentine : Of course you are.
[looking over Kelly's shoulder]
Assistant Special Agent in Charge Jubal Valentine : There he is. Justin Maynard. 41 years old, 5'11", 190.
Elise Taylor : That makes him a physical match for the robber in the dog mask.
Agent Hobbs : Maynard's got a pretty good rap sheet. Armed robbery, violent assault. Already been to prison three times.
Assistant Special Agent in Charge Jubal Valentine : Really? You got a location on him?
Agent Hobbs : Parole records show he works at a salvage yard in Queens.
Kelly Moran : Yeah, looks like that's where the cab dropped him off.
Assistant Special Agent in Charge Jubal Valentine : Okay, let's bring him in.
-
Special Agent Stuart Scola : You're not gonna believe this. Maynard's alibi checks out.
Special Agent Tiffany Wallace : Both he and Chris Wallace are on camera at the Sunshine Diner this morning. They couldn't have been at the robbery in Brooklyn.
Assistant Special Agent in Charge Jubal Valentine : Yeah, well, ballistics tells the same story. The guns found at the salvage yard were not a match to the gun that killed Howard, but they were a match to the bullets recovered from the three locations in Queens.
Special Agent Stuart Scola : But the guys from this morning's robbery, they had the same clothes, the same animal masks, even the same crescent tattoo on the wrist.
Assistant Special Agent in Charge Jubal Valentine : They're copycats.
Special Agent Stuart Scola : So these guys who killed Howard are still running around out there.
-
Agent Hobbs : Hey, guys, I got something you wanna see. I think the copycats may have just slipped up. I went over hidden camera video from the Brooklyn robbery. I found a detail that doesn't fit the original M.O.
Special Agent Maggie Bell : [seeing one of the robbers touch his ear] Well, wait a second. That's acoustic tubing. He's wearing an earpiece.
Agent Hobbs : Yeah, I think I know what he's listening to. These guys got out of there right before the cops showed up, so I synced up the timecodes to this audio.
Special Agent Tiffany Wallace : [listening] That's police dispatch.
Special Agent Omar Adom 'OA' Zidan : These guys have a police scanner?
Special Agent Tiffany Wallace : Yeah, except that's an encrypted channel. You can't pick that up on a regular old scanner. You have to have a dedicated police radio.
Special Agent Stuart Scola : Are you saying these guys might be cops?
Special Agent in Charge Isabel Castille : That's a pretty serious accusation. Do we have any proof beyond the theory that they had access to the robbery case files?
Agent Hobbs : Nothing specific.
Special Agent Maggie Bell : But if you think about it, some of the details of the prior robberies were only known to the police.
Special Agent in Charge Isabel Castille : Okay, start checking the logs. Find out which cops had access to the robbery case files. Dig into each of them.
Special Agent Tiffany Wallace : Uh, should I loop in Detective Dixon?
Special Agent in Charge Isabel Castille : No, let's keep this internal for now. If the cops are involved, we don't wanna tip off the wrong person. We need to wall off NYPD until we are absolutely certain.
Assistant Special Agent in Charge Jubal Valentine : That might be tough. What do I tell the NYPD rep in the JOC?
Special Agent in Charge Isabel Castille : Keep any reference to cops as suspects out of the JOC. For now, they are simply robbers until we can prove otherwise.
