Uh, great job on TV yesterday.
Your analysis of
the Fed conundrum was perfect.
One, never use the word
"conundrum,"
and two, I don't like ass-kissers.
But I hear you did some great
work on the Kelton merger,
so keep it up.
Dale, we didn't get
the Trinity IPO.
(SIGHS)
That's it?
A sad headshake?
Pretty sure that's not gonna replace
the $70 million in fees we just lost.
I'm sorry.
I don't know what happened.
I tried my best.
No one cares how hard you try, Dale.
We're not handing out
"A" s for effort.
So go back out there and win.
That's all that matters.
Hey, let's listen up, people!
The league tables just came out.
We've been ranked number two
out of 19 firms.
If we're ranked number two
again next year,
each and every one of you is

(EXHALES HEAVILY)
What do we got?
Pipe b*mb, nails, glass.
But I also found pieces of duct tape
and gray and yellow metal fragments.
Gray metal means lead pipe.
Yellow metal means
another type of shrapnel.
Maybe the bomber mixed it in
with the glass and nails
to pack a bigger punch.
Can you get the tape and metal
frags to the lab right away?
- Yeah.
- Detective.
One dead, five injured.
So far, no one taking credit
for the b*mb.
(SIGHS) DOA got a name?
Uh, Veronica Klein.
Employee?
More like CEO.
(EXHALES DEEPLY)
Veronica Klein, 45,
Master of the Universe extraordinaire,
married, no kids,
Yale undergrad, Stanford MBA.
She's been at Keller Hogan
for 20 years.
She became CEO 13 months ago.
She was the first-ever
female CEO
of a top-tier, white-shoe firm.
Let's dig into her life,
her friends, her foes.
This b*mb had Veronica's name
on it.
Let's find out why.
Could be as simple as gender.
Her appointment to CEO
created a lot of outrage.
Critics felt that
the firm was trying
to placate the MeToo movement,
and Veronica didn't disappoint.
She did her first
interview saying,
"My primary goal
was to transform
"the male-centric
boys' club culture
endemic on Wall Street,"
which creates a lot of enemies.
As do all noble objectives,
right?
We've confirmed
that the package was sent
from the Midtown post office.
Uh, great.
Pull all the videocams
in the vicinity right away.
Will do.
Have we talked
to Veronica's husband yet?
Uh, Maggie and OA
are with him now.
Okay.
Specific threats? No.
But there were definitely
a lot of thinly veiled
unspecific threats.
What do you mean?
It's how people
on Wall Street communicate.
"You don't perform,
you're fired."
"You don't double
my bonus, I quit."
"You quit, I sue."
"You sue, I countersue."
So much testosterone,
it's exhausting.
Hmm, not an easy place
for a woman to survive,
let alone excel.
You have no idea.

Well, maybe you do.
I'm guessing the FBI
is pretty similar.

Um, Dr. Klein, are you
aware of any recent arguments,
confrontations?
She didn't mention any.
Veronica was an amazing woman.
She was fearless, brilliant.
But she was tough and ambitious.
She didn't get to the top
by accident.
Most people don't.
Especially if you're a woman.

Well, about time.
I've been here for 15 minutes.
What can I say, Nick?
Busy day.
Mm.
Do you know a woman
by the name of Veronica Klein?
Why do you ask?
Because she's dead.
Someone sent her a pipe b*mb
this morning.
That's it?
No reaction? No surprise?
No, "What the hell do you mean,
somebody sent her a pipe b*mb?"
Forgive me, Detective.
Special Agent.
Oh, forgive me, Special Agent.
I prefer to keep my thoughts
and emotions to myself.
That's interesting.
Does this sound like an email
of a man who keeps his thoughts
and emotions to himself?
"I'm gonna blow your ass up,
tell the world what a fraud
you really are."
- So?
- So she blew up today, Nick.
She... so you think...
You think I did it?
Are you... are you kidding me?
Does it look like we're kidding?
I sent her a stupid email.
It sounded more like a threat.
Like a threat
that came true, Nick.
Veronica screwed me
out of $33 million.
What was I supposed to do,
send her a muffin basket?
$33 million.
Yeah, $33.4 million,
to be exact.
Well, how exactly
did Veronica screw you
out of $33.4 million?
Veronica took credit
for a deal that I originated,
generated $100 million in fees.
I get 1/3, okay?
The one thing that you
never do on Wall Street
is take another man's paper.
That's exactly what Veronica,
Almighty Queen
of the Enlightened, did.
So forgive me if I'm not
shedding any tears, okay?
Who the hell is this guy,
Gordon Gekko's long-lost son?
You can hear the resentment
and misogyny at every turn.
"Mighty Queen, enlightened."
Must have made him crazy
working under Veronica.
Question is,
did she make him crazy enough
to put a pipe b*mb
in her office?
The better question is,
when and where
will the next pipe b*mb explode?
Um, sorry to interrupt.
Supervisory Special Agent
Spencer Briggs.
Hello, just in from Quantico.
I'm Dana Mosier.
I'm the special agent in charge.
And this is Jubal Valentine,
the assistant
special agent in charge.
Can we help you?
Well, yeah, Assistant
Director in Charge Fritz
sent me to profile the case.
So I'm here to...
profile the case.
I'm so confused.
I told the ADIC
we didn't need any help
because I used to be a profiler.
I'm sure he's just trying to
take some work off your plate.
Oh, very thoughtful of him.
Look, I apologize
for the lack of communication.
Uh, I really do.
Uh, the good news is,
I'm confident
I can add some value here.
I've had a lot of experience
with serial bombings.
Well, there's...
There's no evidence
there's another attack
in the works.
Yeah, whether there is or isn't,
it doesn't really matter.
According to my research,
82% of the time,
bombers strike more than once.
And 86% of all bombers...
Well, they are white males,
but they're also
disenfranchised young loners.
They're nothing like this guy.
Heck, 92% earn at
or below poverty-level wages.
According to my research,
damn near all victims are male,
except in this case.
Numbers are helpful,
but people are more helpful.
So for now, why don't we
just focus on him
and not about
your random numbers?
It says here that you have a degree
in mechanical engineering
from Cornell.
Yeah, what does that mean?
That means you know
how to make a b*mb.
A b*mb, are you kidding?
I don't even know
how to make lemonade.
Seriously, I told you
it was just a stupid email.
I didn't mean those words
literally.
It was just all...
It was all hyperbole, okay?
It's how people
on Wall Street talk.
All right, at least they used to
before all this
Hollywood PC nonsense
pervaded the nation.
And does it bother you
that you're required
to be respectful?
Being respectful is wonderful.
Being held hostage
to self-serving women
weaponizing their gender
to get ahead
at the expense, perhaps,
of more talented men,
now, that...
that bothers me.
Wow.
Really don't want
to put the shovel down, do you?
I mean, every time I think
maybe you're not involved,
you say something like that
and you go back to being
our number one suspect.
I didn't k*ll Veronica.
In a certain context,
her screwing me over
was the best thing that
could've happened to me.
It forced me to quit.
I started my own fund.
And... and... and if things
go as expected,
I can make $50 mil this year.

Why would I jeopardize
all that just to...
Just to get revenge on Veronica?
Very compelling stuff, Nick.
Sit tight all the same.

Turns out the yellow shrapnel
recovered at the scene is gold.
14-karat gold, to be precise.
Sounds like our bomber
is pretty well-off.
Hmm.

Cufflinks are stupid.
Okay, why spend two
extra minutes every morning
and every night taking on

these weird little pieces
of jewelry?
You go to the gym,
that's four times.
Means you're wasting eight

Basically eviscerating him

What was the specific reason
for his termination?
Spending company funds on an
extravagant, all-male weekend
with a major client in Vegas.
And then Rose Laporta,
the woman that works for Moore,
found out about it,
felt excluded,
and notified Human Resources.

all for playing golf

then you take them to the zoo.

is to make money, okay,
not change the world.
Okay, do you know
where Moore might be living?
He fell off the grid
a few months ago.
The only thing
I can think of is,
his mother had a condo
in Chelsea.
After she died,
she left it to him, so...
But I'm telling you guys,

Hey, let's flag his credit and debit cards.
If Stuart Moore so much as buys a tissue,
I want to know where he's standing
before he blows his nose.
This HR report is a
pretty long and scathing
indictment of Moore's
toxic behavior.
But the so-called charges
are relatively benign.
Depends on how
you define benign.
He played golf and went to
strip clubs with male clients.
No, he excluded
female associates
from participating in
important professional events.
That speaks to a pattern
of behavior,
one that's malignant,
not benign.
So as far as potential targets,
we should start
with the witnesses
that were involved
in the termination proceedings.
There are 21 in all.
And of those 21, 17 were women.
We should focus on them first,
but we need new data.
All this stuff is old.
We need fresh, real-time data.

Veronica was white.
Carly was black.
Veronica was rich and powerful.
Carly was broke and anonymous.
Veronica talked

Carly made soy lattes

for mass casualties.
No, this was targeted.
Carly was the intended victim.
It's clear that
the bomber's escalating.
His first b*mb, he sent
anonymously via U.S. mail.
This one, he hand-delivers.
He's definitely taking
more risk,

Yeah, Kristen and her team

Carly was a writer for
a blog called Street Beat.
She wrote under a pseudonym,

Navi spelled backwards is Ivan.
Could be a riff on Ivan Boesky.
Who is he?
He's one of the original
corporate raiders.
He's the guy who said,
"Greed is good,"
way before Michael Douglas
in "Wall Street."
Okay, so Carly writes a
finance blog under a fake name.
Mm-hmm.
How does that make her a target

Carly wrote a series
of scathing articles
about a guy named Stuart Moore.
He was a rising star at...

until Veronica fired him
for cause.

So Carly wrote four articles
about Stuart Moore.
Basically eviscerating him
for being
an out-of-touch boys' clubber.
You know, oblivious to
the new, enlightened culture
on Wall Street.
What was the specific reason
for his termination?
Spending company funds on an
extravagant, all-male weekend
with a major client in Vegas.
And then Rose Laporta,
the woman that works for Moore,
found out about it,
felt excluded,
and notified Human Resources.
(KEYBOARD KEYS CLACKING)
(COMPUTER BEEPING)
A Williams undergrad,
MBA from Columbia,
divorced, one son.
And unsurprisingly, his work
history ends at Keller Hogan.
Gets fired,
press runs with the story,
blows up his reputation.
And so he decides
to blow up the people
that blew him up
in the first place:
Veronica Klein,
the CEO that fired his ass;
And, uh, Carly Fincher,
the blogger who couldn't
stop writing about him.
Okay, dig into Moore and
anyone else who was involved
in the termination proceeding.
I want names of lawyers,
witnesses, executives,
anybody who was a part of it.
Copy that.
Do we have an address

He's a good guy.
When was the last time
you two spoke?
Uh, about a year ago.
After he got fired,
we kind of lost touch.
Why is that?
You know, he went from superstar
to jackass overnight,
all for playing golf
and going to a strip club
with a $90-million-a-year
client.
Hmm, well, times have changed.
Yeah, well, a client
wants to ogle naked chicks,
you take him to a place
with naked chicks, okay?
They want to ogle penguins,
then you take them to the zoo.
It's that simple.
The point... the goal,
Special Agent,
is to make money, okay,
not change the world.
Okay, do you know
where Moore might be living?
He fell off the grid
a few months ago.
The only thing
I can think of is,
his mother had a condo
in Chelsea.
After she died,
she left it to him, so...
But I'm telling you guys,
you're wasting your time.
Old Stewey is no k*ller.
Well, we're gonna go talk
to him all the same.
Okay, I can go too, then?
- Yeah.

Actually, you can sit back down.
You're gonna need an agent

Hey, NYPD, can you BOLO his car and
get MTA and Port Authority up to speed?
Sure.
Hey, let's flag his credit and debit cards.
If Stuart Moore so much as buys a tissue,
I want to know where he's standing
before he blows his nose.
This HR report is a
pretty long and scathing
indictment of Moore's
toxic behavior.
But the so-called charges
are relatively benign.
Depends on how
you define benign.
He played golf and went to
strip clubs with male clients.
No, he excluded
female associates
from participating in
important professional events.
That speaks to a pattern
of behavior,
one that's malignant,
not benign.
So as far as potential targets,
we should start
with the witnesses
that were involved
in the termination proceedings.
There are 21 in all.
And of those 21, 17 were women.
We should focus on them first,
but we need new data.
All this stuff is old.
We need fresh, real-time data.
Maggie, it's Dana.
You're still on the scene,
correct?
Yes, we are.

No monograms that I can see.
So Moore is using cufflinks
as shrapnel
as a metaphor.
"I'm gonna k*ll the people
who stole my success
with the very symbol
of that success."
Yeah, it also sends a
pro-male/anti-feminist message.
