REVOLUTION (#CI8024)
EPISODE PREMIERE: August 9, 2009
Nichols and Eames pay a visit to Evans' lawyer Basil Bloom, who Evans was en route to meet for dinner when he was intercepted and killed. Basil tells that his secretary, Shelley, was the only person who knew where he and Evans were going for dinner. When the detectives go to speak to Shelley, they learn she departed shortly after their arrival. A check on Shelley reveals a phony social security number and a fake address.
At Axel's apartment, we learn that Shelley is actually Birgit, Axel's daughter. They are emboldened by the online reaction to their letter to the Times and their activities. They are being hailed as the vanguard of populist anger.
When Axel and Birgit meet with Mel to plan their next move, Mel mouths off about a plan to kill his boss. Axel sees Mel as out of control and a threat. He kills Mel with a garrote.
A forensics report explains that the fertilizer bomb from the car contained urea. The detectives trace the material to a shipping yard where they finally catch a break: the foreman tells of a politically radical German who worked the yard. They get his work ID, but their investigation lead nowhere: the address provided is false.
Nichols suspects the revolutionary-based terrorism might be instigated by a former Baader-Meinhof gang member. They were a group of radical intellectuals that terrorized Germany in the '70's. The language they used at that time is similar to the language used in the letter to the Times.
Axel and Birgit set off a car bomb in front of a Wall Street bank.
