"Dr. Arthur Strauss." "He was a counselor at the boarding school that Joe went to in New Hampshire." "You're the one that taught Joe." "I inspired him." "I want to sanction you off the books." "I know you want to find Carroll." "Let me help you." "What kind of cult is this?" "Roderick identified them as a vulnerable group." "I need your help." "I want to kill people." "You have a plan?" "I have an epic plan." "I need you, Em." "Jana, I need you to stay where you are." "No, no!" "You find anything?" "I got this." "I've decided to add Lance to accompany you two to New York." "It's for a friend-- Joe Carroll." "You're going to help us!" "Share this with the world, and if you don't, we will come for you and everyone you care about." "Can I help you?" "A live exclusive from Carrie Cooke, who was inside today's bookstore massacre." "Here we go, here we go." "During the attack, I was given the following video and told to share it with the world." "Hello, world." "I hope I have your attention." "What the hell?" "I am Joe Carroll." "Shh, shh, shh." "You will never feel safe again." "Praise Joe!" "Praise Joe!" "Praise Joe!" "Praise Joe!" "Hi, Mike." "Pressure's dropping!" " She's bleeding out!" " I have no pressure. _" "Hey." "Claire." "Mike." "It's ok, it's ok." "Take it easy." "You were stabbed." "Your lung was punctured, but you were lucky." "You're gonna be ok." "Ryan?" "He was hurt." "Where is Ryan?" "He's in surgery." "He's gonna be ok, too." "And Joey?" "He's with your mom." "He's safe." "It's ok." "Saw Joe on TV." "He's alive?" "How is that possible?" "We need to protect you and Joey." "You want me to go into hiding." "Witness Protection." "We'll relocate you," "Joey, and your mother, we'll give you new identities." "I just give up my life?" "Mike." "It's the best way to protect you and Joey." "I need to talk to Ryan." "Look." "For this to work, everyone has to believe you died in the OR." "This place is already crawling with reporters." "We can't risk anyone seeing you." "We have to get you out of here now." "I can't even tell Ryan?" "There's protocol, Claire." "Witness Protection won't allow it." "No!" "No." "I have to tell Ryan." "Claire." "You're asking me to give up-- to give up my life." "Joe's followers are still out there, Claire." "Ryan would want you and Joey to be safe." "I have to tell him." "You can't." "I have to." "I can't do this to him." "Mike, I can't." "Oh, God." "Oh, God." "What do I do?" "I" " I" "How's Claire?" "In the coming days, more blood will be spilled, and nowhere will be safe, not behind the locked doors of your homes or in your streets, or-- or even where you eat." "You will never feel safe again." "Ryan?" "Those who suppose" "Hey." "Where are you?" "Good morning." "That was very clandestine." "Yeah, wasn't it?" "Is that where you do all your secret Joe Carroll stuff?" "Sleep ok?" "Have you seen my blouse?" "I think it came off over here." "Oh, yeah." "Right." "Your bodyguards are still in the hall." "The walk of shame." "Coffee?" "No." "I'm leaving." "Let's not make this weird." "We both needed to blow off some steam." "This is posttraumatic sex." "Posttraumatic sex?" "So really, what's in the secret room?" "It's a secret." "And what are you doing today?" "You are cute." "You know you can trust me, right?" "If you say, "Off the record," it's off the record." "I had a really nice time last night." "Me, too." "It was fun." "I want the story, Ryan, but I also want to help you." "Say it again." "Are you kidding?" "No." "Really?" "Really." "Praise Joe." "No, no." "Louder." "Come on." "Really." "Louder." "Praise Joe!" "No." "Joe?" "Yes, Mandy?" "Knock much?" "What is it?" "Robert's looking for you." "Ok." "I'll be there in a minute." "She barged in on purpose, you know?" "Come on." "She's feeling neglected." "She needs a friend." "She needs manners." "She is a girl who lost her mother recently, so play nice, please." "We need more allies here, not less." "Robert's with us, though, yeah?" "Yes." "We can trust him." "All right." "But some others may need convincing." "Oh." "Joe." "Hmm?" "I want you to promise me that you're going to include me in decisions here." "Don't shut me out." "No, no." "You're my partner in this, my high priestess." "I need you." "What's going on, Mike?" "Joe faked his death, started again." "With new followers?" "Yeah, for the most part." "We killed or apprehended all those from Havenport except for Emma." "How does Lily Gray fit into all this?" "She's the female version of Joe, just more elusive." "She's loaded with money, international connections." "We have her son in custody, but he's not talking." "And, uh, Ryan-- how-- how's he?" "He's good." "It was hard for him, but he pulled through better than I" "So Witness Protection wants to relocate us." "Well, there's the strong possibility" "Joe will try to find his son again." "Well, I don't want to keep running." "I know." "We'll find him." "My son will not be safe until this is over." "I don't want to find him." "I want to kill him." "So these are the psychos." "No need to be quite so pejorative, Emma." "I think these people are going to be very useful to us." "Patrick is former military." "He was dishonorably discharged for torturing Iraqi civilians." "Tilda's spent a year in the mental hospital for sticking a knife in her brother." "Oh." "Well, brothers can be most irritating." "What about the pretty boy?" "That's Lucas, one of our security guards." "He's smart, well-trained, and a total narcissist." "Hmm." "And the other?" "She seems somewhat melancholy." "That's Mallory, Lance's girlfriend." "Sorry." "Lance?" "He never made it back from the bookstore." "Oh, right, yes, yes." "Lance." "She's light on ability, but she is not squeamish around blood, and she really wants to be a part of this for Lance." "Any others at all?" "There aren't many more like these in Korban." "This is a-- this is a new direction." "They're devoted, but they need guidance, teaching." "I see." "Then they know what's expected of them." "Yes, and I'll shepherd them." "You've done well, Robert." "Oh." "You've, uh, proven yourself to be invaluable." "Excuse me." "_" "Thank you." "Special Agent Jeffrey Clarke." "I'm your liaison to Director Franklin." "Anything you need from the FBI task force," " you just let me know." " Yeah." "We scoured all of Jana Murphy's communications." "We feel confident that she acted alone in helping Joe Carroll." "Has Gina Mendez been cleared yet?" "We believe Murphy used her relationship with Agent Mendez to gain access to our investigation without Mendez's knowledge." "Now once she's recovered and our internal inquiry's complete, she'll be back to duty." "Good." "Director Franklin also wants me to tell you that you still have our full support moving forward on this." "Anything-- access, resources." "All we ask is that you contact me or Franklin directly." "So if anything goes wrong, it's on me." "Something like that." "That's not necessary." "Why haven't you charged Strauss yet?" "We've been holding off." "Given his relationship to Joe Carroll, we figured we'd find additional bodies to pin on him." "But you haven't, right?" "He's too smart for that." "What are you hoping to get out of him?" "He said he trained other killers." "I need to know if that's who Joe's reaching out to." "Hello, Dr. Strauss." "So, doc, we killed one of Joe's acolytes" "Lance Tierney." "Was he one of yours?" "Did you introduce them?" "When will I be able to speak to my lawyer?" "You've been careful for so long." "Wow!" "It must kill you to know you're gonna spend the rest of your life in a cell because of Joe's mistake." "_" "Told you your ego would get you in trouble." "Then you show up here, half dead, jeopardize me and everything I've built." "I'm sorry." "When you fail this big," ""I'm sorry" doesn't cover it." "You betrayed everything I've taught you." "You used your medical practice to cover up your murders, didn't you?" "A few dead on the operating table." "As long as your death rate remains reasonable, no one's gonna notice." "It's genius." "You're appealing to my vanity." "Is it working?" "What's Joe done now?" "Oh, come now." "If you want something, you're gonna have to give up something." "He sent followers to murder people at a book signing." "Followed by a grandiose pronouncement I'm sure." "I never did quite understand his need for attention." "The greater accomplishment is to kill quietly, unnoticed." "Hard to see your student's shortcomings?" "And even harder for him to admit." "Does he know you have me?" "He can't be happy about that." "Lance Tierney?" "This fool isn't the caliber of student I'd work with." "I have no idea where Joe found him." "He has quite a gift to incite obsession and attract followers." "Like you." "Look at you." "Perfect example of obsession." "You stole his wife, wrote a book about him, became a teacher like he was." "Well, when you say it out loud." "Did you know that one of the many traits of a psychopath is to mirror another's behavior?" "You have no life of your own." "So you copy someone else's." "I have to go." "I'm sorry, but I disagree." "Joey is not gonna have a life until Joe is gone." "I don't have a life." "Do you?" "Joe thinks you're dead." "It has to stay that way." "Do you remember how many people died last year, how many women named Claire Matthews?" "You want to live through that again?" "I can be of help to you." "Yes, you can, by going home to your son." "I came here to fill you in, and I did." "I told you everything I know, but now you have to cooperate." "Just go home." "Take care of yourself, Claire." "Hi." "Hey." "I want to take you up on your offer." "What offer?" "You said I could trust you, right?" "Yes, completely." "Off the record." "What if I wanted to go on the record?" "You just got my complete attention." "You know, God's own son was-- was sacrificed on a cross of blood to redeem man's sins, but since then, those sins have become so many, they threaten to overwhelm us, so surely, surely, new blood must be spilled." "There can be no redemption without blood." "No redemption without blood!" "No redemption without blood." "No redemption without blood!" "No redemption without blood!" "And so today, we embark on our sacred mission to spread the message of holy redemption." "Redemption!" "Redemption!" "And we will bring harmony to this earth." "These brave warriors, our harbingers of salvation." "Salvation is ours!" "Salvation is ours!" "Go forth and tell the world that no redemption without blood." "No redemption without blood!" "No redemption without blood!" "Ma'am." "Jana's cell phone is being directed through our cyber team in DC." "Can they decode or trace it?" "We'll have to see." "Jana was a cyber specialist." "She knew all the tricks." "Billy Boyer, and this is Update America." " Here we go." " We're gonna start things off with Carrie Cooke..." " We're set." " ...and exclusive breaking news on the resurrection of Joe Carroll and the recent murder spree." "Carrie." "I've learned exclusively that the FBI has made a major arrest in the case." "Arthur Strauss, a prominent Long Island doctor has been taken into custody." "It was Dr. Strauss who helped Carroll escape authorities last year." "Joe, you need to see this now." "...at a Long Island light house after a struggle with Ryan Hardy and has only recently come out of hiding, although his current whereabouts are still unknown." "Dr. Strauss, who is also being investigated for suspected serial murder, gave Carroll refuge and medical assistance after Carroll's escape from Havenport, though it is unclear how long Carroll..." "No." "They couldn't have." "According to my source, Dr. Strauss is now cooperating fully with the authorities." "Who's Dr. Strauss?" "Dr. Strauss?" "The, um, the Principal sent me." "Have a seat." "Do you know why you're here?" "Um, no, not really." "You're a school counselor, right?" "I'm an alum who's provided guidance to some of the school's wayward students." "I understand your parents died recently and that your uncle sent you here from England, far from family and friends." "You took some tests when you started here." "The results indicated that you are special." "Do you know what psychopath means?" "His arrest is said to be a major step forward in dismantling Carroll's criminal network and could lead to his capture." "Are they gonna find us, Joe?" "Strauss revealed that he met Carroll in the early eighties at Lightford Academy, a boarding school, where the twisted serial killer..." "You can't call Strauss." "The FBI will trace the call." "I'm calling Jana." "Her phone is protected." "She'll know what to do." "Even giving them more insight into Carroll's disturbing past." "Is that enough for him to call?" "He'll call." "Turn that off." "You ready?" "You guys set up over there?" "We're online." "Yep." "Ok." "Go." "Jana." "Hey, Joe." "It's been a while." "Talk to me, DC." "What do we got?" "The call is being routed through the internet." "I'm tracing it back through Albania." "Ryan." "Ryan Hardy?" "Joe, Joe, it's a setup!" "Yeah." "Your friend Jana couldn't come to the phone." "Yeah." "I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but she had a little accident, and by accident I mean a bullet went through her brain." "Well, I expect you're, uh" "I expect you're feeling rather clever right now." "Yeah." "I have my moments." "Tell, me Ryan." "It this a, um, keep him on the line while we trace the call call?" "Because you know me better than that." "It's not gonna work." "Don't risk it." "Hang up the phone." "Hey." "Your friend Dr. Strauss says hello." "Yeah." "You've, um, you've been bonding, huh?" "Yeah." "He's very disappointed in you, Joe." "Oh, dear." "Well... well, his disappointment is about to get a whole lot worse." "Talk to me, guys." "Where is he?" "Wherever the VPN originated, it's configured to spread like a virus." "We're in Korea and Switzerland." "Why is that?" "This is not really about you and me anymore, Ryan." "No." "It's, uh, it's far, far more important than that." "And I take it you found some new friends or students." "Ha!" "You're fishing, Ryan." "Yes, I have found some new disciples, followers who are more devoted to me than ever." "No." "As a matter of fact," "I have a holy army of warriors who are about to rain merry hell down on this world." "A holy army, huh?" "So, what, you don't love Poe anymore?" "You found a new God to worship?" "Yes, yes, Ryan." "We-- we no longer live in-- in literature." "No." "I've moved on now to the greatest story ever told." "I'm gonna save the world, Ryan, one soul at a time." "So why don't you sit down, relax, and enjoy today's show?" "It's gone." "_" "He's gone." "Joe" "Just... one moment." "So?" "He's found a new cult." "There's no way he built up a new crew when he was in Arkansas." "He could have co-opted a religious sect." "Have Franklin's people look into any known religious cults within a day's drive of New York." "You know the way the routed that phone call to behave like a virus, that's highly unusual." "We'll find the origination point." "It's just gonna take some time." "We don't have time." "Something's going down today." "Him." "Why?" "Because he reminds me of Jeff Price." "Who's Jeff Price?" "This turd in high school who used to call me wide load." "He's make beeping noises when I came down the hall." "I guess that's something you wouldn't know anything about." "Of course I do." "I made fun of all the fat girls in high school." "All right." "Just for you." "Him." "All right." "No redemption without blood." "Nobody should ever make you feel anything less than beautiful, Tilda." "Where you been?" "Went to visit my mom." "Listen." "If you need to spend some more time" "No." "I'm good." "Clarke told me about Joe's call?" "Where we at?" "Trying to pin down Joe's new holy army." "Lance, the dead follower from the bookstore seems like our best lead." "Yeah." "I talked with his girlfriend's parents." "Mallory Hodge went off the grid with Lance two years ago." "Her parents said they were inseparable." "She lost her job at a Brooklyn restaurant because she'd sneak off with Lance and miss her shifts." "Could she be part of the new army?" "Well, nothing on social media, but I'm up on her parents' land lines and cell phones, as well as a few of her high school friends." "Maybe Lance's death will bring her out." "You should read in." "I'll grab a transcript of Joe's call?" "Thanks." "Sorry I disappeared on you guys." "Hey." "You didn't have to lie about where you were." "What?" "I got worried, so I called your mom to check in on you." "You weren't there." "You don't have to tell us where you are, ok, but you don't have to lie about it either." "Wait a minute." "You were worried about me?" "In our temple, we give blood willingly because we know it is a great privilege, but as we-- we take the message of Korban beyond here, we will encounter those who resist." "Now they only resist because they do not realize that the sacrifice they make will take them to greater glory, and when they-- when they fight, you must persist." "And eventually, there is a moment, a moment of... acceptance when they finally realize that what you have given them is the ultimate gift." "She died a few hours ago in surgery." "You can touch her if you want." "It's a powerful feeling, isn't it, your own heart beating when hers no longer can?" "Now imagine you're the one responsible for stilling that heart." "But it's wrong." "Well, the Bible says, "Thou shalt not kill."" "That is to control the masses, but we are not common people, Joe." "We are the chosen ones and the ones who choose." "Her eyes are so beautiful." "Would anyone else like to try?" "I can't do this." "This is not our way." "Sister... oh, I..." "I greatly admire your temerity, but-- but don't you think your adherence to old notions of morality are simply selfish, no?" "Don't those outside of Korban deserve the opportunity of peace that atonement has brought us?" "Yes?" "Yes!" "Yes." "Oh, this is a mission that has come from the most high." "Are you really going to deny Him that?" "Never." "I'm sorry." "Oh, Carla, oh, we must overcome our weaknesses so that we can accomplish our-- our sacred quest." "You want that, darling, don't you?" "Hmm?" "Do you want to leave, think this through?" "Yes, please." "Yes." "Anyone else want to leave, just to take a moment?" "I don't want anybody feeling that they are here against their will." "Yes." "Then-- then you should go, go." "It's fine." "You-- you should go." "My turn?" "All right." "Which one?" "That's the one." "Why that one?" "I like dogs." "What's Mickey barking at?" "What is it, boy?" "Somebody in there?" "What the hell?" "John?" "Everything all right?" "The father of the family." "Looks like he was the first one killed." "Bodies of the mother and son, they're upstairs, multiple stab wounds." "There's blood everywhere." ""No redemption without blood."" "This guy was found 4 hours ago a block away from Brooklyn Bridge Park." "He had a note on him." "Same thing written on it." "He's calling for blood sacrifice." "He's bastardizing biblical principle to manipulate his new followers to kill for him." "Any connection between the victims?" "It's random so far." "Excuse me." "So this is not about who they are." "It's about what Joe and his new army can do." "Hey, Max." "Face recognition software picked up" "Lance's girlfriend Mallory Hodge on city surveillance video." "I have her in Brooklyn Heights at Montague and Hicks about 10 minutes ago, but we lose her after that." "Mallory was fired from a Brooklyn Heights restaurant a few years ago." "What did he say?" ""Blood will be spilled." "Nowhere will be safe, not your homes, streets, where you eat."" "Let's go." "I'll call you back." "You failed today." "You know that, right?" "Joe says it's ok." "I'll get there." "Do you know what happened to the others who left the hall, the ones who couldn't hack it?" "I put them in the hole." "For how long?" "Who knows?" "And that's where you should be except Joe said to give you another chance." "I hope you don't disappoint him, but I have a feeling you will." "It really bothers you that Joe thinks" "I'm special, that he cares about me, doesn't it?" "No." "Actually, it doesn't." "I just need you to respect my relationship with him." "Sure." "Whatever that is." "Look." "Joe wants us to get along, so why don't we just fake it for him?" "Good idea." "That's all you're capable of anyway." "Excuse me?" "I read the book, Emma." "Watch yourself, little girl." "You have no idea who you're dealing with." "Do you know who you're dealing with?" "You're not the only one around here who killed her mother." "You got this?" "Most definitely." "Robert parked the van around the corner." "We'll wait for you there." "Ok." "Why this place?" "I used to work here." "They fired me, told my parents Lance was a bad influence." "Naughty." "None of these targets are supposed to be personal." "It was two years ago." "No one would recognize me." "Table for two?" "Can we sit at the bar?" "Of course." "What are we doing?" "We could use a drink first." "I haven't had one since I joined Korban." "Shot of Jack?" "What do you want?" "I don't know." "I was never much of a drinker." "Give her a..." "Sex On The Beach." "I pick her." "Go time?" "Hey." "You can do this." "Think about Lance." "Ok." "Ok." "Kick it off, and I'll bring it home." "You ok, sweetheart?" "No redemption without blood." "What are you doing?" "Ohh!" "Help!" "Help!" "She has knife!" "Ohh, ohh, ohh!" " Drop it now!" " Drop the knife!" "Get back, get back, or she's dead!" "Put it on the ground!" "Get back." "Mallory, you don't want to do this." "Just drop the knife, and everything's gonna be ok." "Your parents miss you, Mallory." "They want you at home." "Everything's gonna be ok." "What are you doing?" "Now tell me where Joe is." "I know he sent you here." "You just... tell me where he is." "Don't you tell him!" "You can't." "This isn't just about Joe." "This is about all of us." "Mallory." "Mallory, look at me." "Go on." "Ohh!" "It's ok." "Everything's gonna be ok." "It's ok." "It's ok." "I want our best forensics guys on this-- stomach contents, dirt on their shoes, anything that might tell me where they've been." "You got it." "I'll see if they have any ties to East Coast religious cults." "Hey." "Prioritize groups that believe in blood sacrifice." "Today, two of our brave warriors have returned to us." "Please help me welcome them home." "Praise them!" "Praise them!" "Praise them!" "Death... is a sacred gift." "It is not to be abused or cheapened but gloried." "Tilda... and Lucas have now been anointed." "Who here wishes to join their sacred rank?" "Who wishes to become a harbinger of salvation?" "Oh, then let the rivers of blood flow free." "Korban, embrace your destiny!" "Praise Korban!" "We might be a while." "So it didn't work." "I didn't find Joe." "Seriously, I'm telling you the truth." "I believe you." "But you saved all those people at the restaurant." "Yeah, but" "Hey." "Stop." "There's no "But."" "You saved all those people at the restaurant." "That was a good thing you did." "And... you actually showed me the smallest modicum of trust." "See?" "Another good thing." "♪ 'cause they don't have any feelings ♪" "♪ something in the way ♪" "There was new Carroll cult murder spree today on the East Coast." "6 people are dead, including 2 cult members." "Scott." "♪ something in the way ♪" "I'm not going back to Arizona." "Claire." "I can't go back now." "I need to see Ryan." "Look." "It's not that simple." "You don't just leave Witness Protection."
