CSI: Cyber (2015–2016): Season 1, Episode 7 - URL, Interrupted - full transcript
A high school student promises to retaliate after her classmates make her a victim of intense cyberbullying.
My name is Avery Ryan.
I was a victim of cyber crime.
Like you, I posted
on social media,
checked my bank account
balance online,
even kept the confidential files
of my psychological practice
on my computer.
Then I was hacked,
and as a result,
one of my patients was murdered.
My investigation into her death
led me to the FBI,
where I joined a team
of cyber experts
to wage a war against
a new breed of criminal
hiding on the Deep Web...
infiltrating our daily lives
in ways we never imagined...
...faceless...
nameless...
lurking inside our devices,
just a keystroke away.
We're currently sitting
at 57 degrees...
Northbound is
bumper-to-bumper...
House Democrats are
divided over a controv...
In other news,
Flintwood High School student
Zoey Tan was reported missing
two days ago.
Authorities widened
their search for local
- high school student Zoey Tan.
- D.C. Metro continues
its investigation
into the disappearance of
17-year-old Zoey Tan.
Jordan, any news?
What?
Okay, slow down.
Send me the photo.
It's gonna be okay.
We're gonna find her.
"I'm sorry, Dad.
Don't know what else to do.
"It's all too much. I love you.
Good-bye."
Krumitz,
I'm sending you a photo.
I need you to get the GPS
coordinates for the metadata.
Avery, the photo
Zoey Tan sent her father
was taken in Rock Creek Park.
Ripped By mstoll
According to the GPS coordinates
from the photo
that Zoey sent her father,
it was taken here
in Rock Creek...
this specific area.
We've got three search units
covering the four square miles
and another in the zoo
adjacent to the park.
Keep your phone on.
Jordan.
Breathe.
If she's here, we'll find her.
I can't remember
if I told Zoey "I love you"
the last time I saw her.
I keep replaying it
through my head. I...
I grabbed my coffee,
I handed her money
for lunch, I...
I think I kissed her
on the forehead. I just...
I just can't remember
what I said.
You're a wonderful father.
I've seen so myself.
Zoey adores you.
She knows you love her.
You know, raising a daughter
on your own, I just...
Over here!
Zoey?
Zoey! Zoey!
Jordan, wait!
Wait!
I'm absolutely sure
that's Zoey's phone.
I bought her that case
for Christmas.
Battery's dead.
It'll take a second.
You think she's still
in the park?
My teams are
continuing the search.
I'll keep you posted.
Do you know Zoey's password?
No, I never asked for it.
I... I let Zoey
have her privacy.
It'll take us a minute
to unlock it.
It's Zoey.
Baby? Are you okay?
Where are you?
Zoey? Zoey?
Hello?
Does Zoey have
another cell phone?
Not that I know of.
Well, this phone
wasn't calling you. Hit redial.
Call it back.
What the hell? Is that possible?
Only if it's a cyber intrusion.
Zoey's phone was spoofed.
Just spoke to Detective Garcia.
He's still running point
on the search,
but it's our case now.
Any new evidence of Zoey
in the area?
- Besides the phone?
- Not yet.
They've searched
30% of the park.
We've extended the perimeter,
but so far, no sign
of a struggle or foul play.
You think she's still alive?
The text was definitive,
but we haven't found a body yet.
Are we, uh...
ruling out the father
as a suspect?
Well, I know Jordan. He would
never harm his daughter.
Listen, I know
he's your friend, but...
Elijah, I was
Jordan's therapist.
We stayed in contact
after I lost my practice.
He came to me
for grief counseling
when his wife, Annette,
passed away.
Zoey is his life.
There's no doubt in my mind.
Jordan had nothing
to do with this.
All right.
I'm gonna head to their house,
collect the rest
of Zoey's devices.
Oh, Elijah.
I know it was your morning
to take Michelle to school.
Thank you for being here.
Grandpa was thrilled to get
the time with her, believe me.
It's important to you.
I wouldn't be anywhere else.
So thank you all for coming by.
Uh, there is no news.
Like I said,
Zoey is still missing.
I've extended
my guidance counseling hours
for anyone
who might have information
or just wants
to talk one-on-one
about Zoey's disappearance.
Jordan, please keep us updated.
Let me know
if there's anything I can do.
- Thank you. Thank you all.
- If you need anything,
man, let us know, okay?
School administrators?
I know they mean well,
but it's like
they're expecting the worst.
I mean, could Zoey
have been suicidal
and I just didn't see it?
Did you notice any significant
behavioral changes?
Emotional instability,
overwhelming sadness,
- anger, hopelessness?
- No, no.
There was nothing like that.
I mean, Zoey was...
Zoey is a typical
moody teenager.
But she's getting straight "A"s.
Scored well on her SATs.
I thought she was happy.
I mean, I'm her father;
how did I miss this?
Zoey was either really clumsy
or she took out
some serious aggression
on this poor tablet.
There are no pictures
anywhere in here.
It's like she didn't
have any friends.
That's cute you think teenagers
still print out photos.
That's what social media is for.
What are picture frames for?
Parents. Grandparents.
You know, old people.
I would get mad at you,
but I walked myself
right into that one.
Whoa. Did you see that?
Yeah, that's weird.
It's like someone
moved the mouse,
except neither one of us did.
First her phone,
now her computer.
Somebody is controlling
Zoey's devices.
And we're gonna find you.
What have we got?
You were right about
Zoey's phone being spoofed.
But cool thing is
how it was spoofed.
Wait for it.
Oh, let me guess:
Nelson is not
the person calling me.
That's right. I am.
I made that call
through a spoofing Web site
that anyone with an Internet
connection has access to.
There's over a dozen
sites like this.
But the good news is
that I had to input
my office number
to make that call just now,
so these sites should have
a record of those inputs.
That was... that was a good one.
It was.
But, uh... I think got you beat.
I went back and looked
at the metadata
on the photo
that Zoey texted her dad.
It was taken at Rock Creek Park.
Just not this morning.
Four months ago.
Zoey didn't take that photo
with her phone,
she took it
with her digital camera.
But most importantly,
the photo never existed
on Zoey's cell.
If she didn't
have it on her phone,
- how did she send it?
- Well, that's the thing.
I went through 972 photos
on Zoey's cell.
Photo wasn't there.
I mean, I checked e-mails.
Nothing.
Then I went to look for the text
that she sent her dad
this morning.
See, look, there's no way
she sent that text.
I mean, Zoey's phone died
on Friday at 11:10 p.m.
It wasn't turned on
until you plugged it in
this morning around 9:00 a.m.
But the text was
sent to Zoey's dad
two hours before that,
at 7:12 a.m.
Someone else
sent that text to Jordan
through a spoofing Web site.
That still leaves
one important question:
Where is Zoey Tan?
Boy, Zoey was all the parents
could talk about
at drop-off this morning.
Does your son Aaron know her?
He knows her name.
He's seen her on campus.
Not much else.
She's in the grade above him.
So where do we stand on this?
Both the text and call
to Jordan's cell
originated from a spoofing site.
So all we've got
is a suicide text and just...
hope that Zoey's still alive.
All right. Keep me posted.
When we collected the devices
from Zoey's room,
someone was watching us through
the camera on her laptop.
Zoey's laptop is infected with
a malware that allows the device
to connect with and control it.
A backdoor Trojan.
Exactly.
And I found
a foreign I.P. Address
in her network logs.
We're running it down now.
We may not know who,
but I think I know
why she was being spied on.
I made a cluster graph
of the social media response
to Zoey's disappearance
on multiple platforms.
Orange are tablets
and computers,
yellow are phones.
The center of the burst
is the device
and person sending out
the information.
These are the screen names of
the people posting about Zoey.
This heavy concentration
of activity
all centers around a Web site.
This site started
three months ago.
Look at some of the comments.
"Zoey, just slit
your wrists already."
"No one would miss you
if you were dead."
How are kids this cruel?
Because they're hiding
behind a keyboard.
They think their words
have no consequences.
Press "send" and move on.
I found all this and,
worst of all,
a video taken of her
without her knowledge.
From her camera on her laptop.
Zoey's being watched.
Recorded.
Terrorized in her own bedroom.
The cyberbully was posting
Zoey's journal entries,
private photos...
Used to be bullying was limited
to the confines of your school.
When you went home,
you could have a break, but...
now thanks to the Internet,
a bully can attack
anonymously, 24/7.
There's no safe haven.
If I was Zoey, I'd run away.
Disappear.
Or commit suicide.
Why didn't she tell me
she was being bullied?
I could've helped her.
- I could've done something.
- Jordan,
only one in ten cyberbullying
victims tell their parents.
There's such a high level
of shame and fear involved.
When I was a kid,
if you got bullied,
there were physical signs.
Cuts, bruises...
you couldn't hide it.
I should've taken
her computer out of her room,
limited her phone access.
She would've figured out
a way to get online.
This is addictive behavior.
Teens stay up all night
texting, messaging,
surfing the Web.
It's called vamping.
Is there anyone you can think of
who would want
to lash out at Zoey like this?
Did she have a fight
with anyone?
A girlfriend? An ex?
No! I feel like I don't know
anything about my own daughter!
Jordan, this is not your fault.
Look, the only person
she had a problem with was me.
What do you mean?
Why?
I started
seeing someone this year.
And Zoey wasn't comfortable
with me dating her.
So I ended the relationship.
Zoey's my world.
What if she doesn't know that?
What if I never get to tell her?
Forensic analysis of Zoey's
computer hard drive revealed
deleted messages
from her FriendAgenda page,
which I recovered.
I found a long thread
of messages.
She was having
an online relationship
- with an Owen Campbell.
- Mm-hmm.
Started about five months ago.
She must've deleted the messages
so her father
wouldn't find them.
The last message
Owen sent her was
the day before she went missing.
"Leave everything behind.
You can start over.
Come be with me."
- Get me an address.
- Okay.
Where's Zoey Tan?
Dude, I already told the cops,
I don't know where she is!
You told her
to come here... why?
Yeah, I didn't
tell her anything!
I moved to North Carolina three
years ago, and I haven't even...
I barely knew her at D. C!
But you communicated
with her online.
No. No!
Owen.
Let's talk about
your FriendAgenda page.
You sent this message to Zoey,
asking her to come to
North Carolina to be with you.
You want to start
telling the truth?
Whoa, I... I didn't
send that message.
This isn't even
my FriendAgenda page.
Can I show you?
See?
This is my real page.
Zoey was catfished.
Somebody was pretending
to be you on FriendAgenda.
Well, how did
they get my photos?
Anybody can go on your page,
steal your photos
and create a fake account.
Zoey thought she was having
an online relationship with you.
Look.
There are hundreds
of messages here.
Oh, yeah, I didn't send
any of these things.
I told you, you know,
I barely knew Zoey.
I would never tell her
that I loved her, you know?
That's why I was freaking out
when she shows up out of nowhere
at my house this morning.
Wait a minute!
You're telling me that Zoey was
alive and in North Carolina
this morning?
What time did you see her?
Around, uh, 8:00 a.m.
Or... or something.
Owen, we need you to tell us
exactly what happened
when you saw Zoey today.
I answered the door.
And then I pushed her away
when she tried to hug me.
It was just
super awkward 'cause
my actual girlfriend was there.
Was she upset?
Yeah, she seemed
pretty pissed off.
I mean...
said that I lied to her
and that I was
just like the others.
Um... then I told her to leave,
- and... and she did.
- Do you have
any idea where she went?
Was she in a car?
I don't know.
No, I don't think so.
She just walked away.
I just put a BOLO out
on Zoey to local police.
Hopefully they'll
get eyes on her soon.
Zoey's relationship
with Fake Owen
started five months ago.
Two months later,
the bullying started.
It's got to be
the same person, right?
Our target wanted Zoey to suffer
by creating an environment
where she believed
there was only person
she could turn to, and then...
That all came
crashing down when she met Owen
and realized
she'd been catfished.
It's a pretty elaborate scheme.
Catfishing, spoofing, RATing,
cyberbullying...
what's the endgame?
We're looking for someone
who wants to ruin Zoey's life.
By isolating her
from her friends and family,
pushing her to the edge.
Well, before she falls over,
we better find her.
Oh, you better believe
I authorized it.
Have to call you later.
Have you located
our target's computer yet?
Yeah. The node
our cyberbully used
is somewhere
in Zoey's high school.
I'm on my way now.
All right.
So, Avery believes
our cyberbully mastermind
is part of this whole
social media conversation,
pushing it forward,
encouraging people to respond.
I can map the degree
of centrality,
figure out which kids
are central to the network,
consistently instigating
new conversations.
I don't see how anybody
survives high school these days.
That's why I dropped out.
You were bullied?
Always been different.
My life was a living hell
from first grade on.
When I was 15, I left school,
became a hacker.
Started with the little stuff,
but then...
Yeah, but then you were arrested
for shutting down
the entire power grid
of New Hampshire.
But you can't tell me
you put on the black hat,
orchestrated the largest
SCADA attack we've ever seen
because you were bullied.
No. But being bullied
forced me to escape,
run away, become a loner,
because I didn't trust people.
And the computer was a safe
place where I had control.
I could be anybody
I wanted to be online.
So... I became a black hat.
So did you ever consider
using your hacking skills
to get revenge?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, there's this kid
named Trevor.
He is lucky my FBI badge
prevents me
from kicking his ass
all over the Internet.
His butt.
I mean kick his butt.
Hey. What's going on here?
Push in.
This is happening right now.
They all seem to be posting
about the same event.
"We don't need to #SaveZoey,
we need to #RunFromZoey"?
When was this video posted?
A few minutes ago by Zoey.
Loop Avery and Elijah
in on this.
I've been bullied, tormented,
tortured by you.
Faceless screen names.
Spreading my humiliation
across the Web.
I was told by strangers
to kill myself.
They said the world would be
a better place without me.
And I believed them.
I need to do something to make
this miserable existence
worthwhile.
I know who started
the "Kill Yourself Zoey Tan"
Web site.
You have 24 hours to confess...
or you'll be sorry.
That was a threat.
She's a vigilante
hunting her cyberbully.
Actually,
I got to call you back.
I found a pattern
on the cluster graph.
As soon as a new post appeared
on the cyberbullying page,
there were 12 teens
who consistently sent out
the link or commented
on ToggleFly,
which is like Twitter.
I'm calling them
the "First Responders."
12, okay.
Zoey could certainly believe
one of those is her bully.
We need to I.D.
The person responsible
before Zoey makes good
on her threat and retaliates.
Let me just see that.
Right now, all I have are
- the First Responders'
screen names. - All right.
We can request a subpoena
to get their legal names
from ToggleFly, but...
What's wrong?
You're certain
about these handles?
Yeah.
This is serious, Aaron.
Your ToggleFly handle
is on a short list
of potential targets.
You're one of 12 instigators.
And I want to know why
you were cyberbullying Zoey.
Everybody else was doing it.
Well, you're not everyone!
I raised you better than this.
Dad, it's not that big a deal.
It's just a joke.
Well...
do you see me laughing?
Your words hurt this girl.
Words have consequences.
And cyberbullying
happens to be a crime.
If that girl commits suicide,
you could be held responsible.
But, Dad, this girl is crazy.
Like, for real crazy.
And-and here, I-I got proof.
Dad, she's crazy.
She knows how to use a gun.
Where did you get this?
I don't want to get anyone
in trouble.
You're worried about getting
somebody else in trouble?
Zoey is missing.
Now, she could be suicidal,
she could be homicidal.
Tell me where you got
this video.
Sam posted it.
Took it when his family
went hunting
with Zoey and her dad last year.
But kids are scared today, Dad.
They think she's gonna go
all Columbine on us.
Don't suggest things like that.
This conversation
isn't over yet.
Man, you missed
some major developments.
Zoey's pissed
and is on a rampage.
Now, I'm trying to find her
before she does some serious
damage to her cyberbully.
Whatever you got can't top that.
Au contraire, my vertically
challenged friend.
I found the device
that the cyberbully was using
to torment Zoey.
I went to Zoey's
high school library.
I had to hook up directly
to the router
to find the exact computer
that the cyberbully used.
Then I searched every device
on the network.
And I found my culprit.
You know,
it's a shame we can't
prosecute computers,
because this would be
case closed.
Okay, so you're saying
we have the gun,
but we don't have the person
that pulled the trigger?
Correct.
The computer that was spoofing
Zoey's devices was
in the high school library,
so anybody with access
to that room could be
the cyberbully.
950 kids go to that school...
Or we could be dealing
with more than one target.
Bullies like to team up.
- It's mob mentality.
- Would you let me finish?
Good news is the cyberbully
doesn't know the jig is up.
I swapped this hard drive
tower with a decoy
and installed a wiretap
on the system.
If that cyberbully uses
that computer
to update
the cyberbullying site,
oh, we'll know.
That's what I'm talking about.
And that's what
I'm talking about.
- Ooh.
- Damn.
Wow.
Wait, I just got something.
It's the signal from the tablet
that Zoey used.
Nelson just located
the device Zoey used
to make her vigilante video.
He's sending us
the coordinates now.
It's near the intersection
of Bedford and 12th.
Looks like she's less than
half a mile away.
She's on the move.
Turn left here.
The next street, turn right.
She's about a block ahead.
That must be her
in that blue Crosstrek.
Two cars in front of us.
This is Special Agent
Avery Ryan.
We are in pursuit.
We need backup from police
and FBI units in Charlotte.
Our suspect is heading north
on Ontario Drive
in a blue Crosstrek.
Pull over, but do not approach.
Driver might be
armed and dangerous.
She just ran the stop sign.
Simon, go.
Avery, I just got a hit
on Jordan Tan's credit card.
Zoey bought ammunition
at a store
in North Carolina
a half hour ago.
She blew through that stop sign,
and she's got ammo.
She means business.
Let me see both your hands.
Where's Zoey?!
Where is she?!
Keep your hands
where I can see them.
I-I don't know a Zoey Tan.
Isabella, is this your iPad?
- Yes.
- This is Zoey.
Have you seen her?
Actually, yes.
She-she found
my iPad earlier today.
I was getting coffee
and lost it.
She returned it to me.
Why?
Something happen to her?
We've got every department
between North Carolina
and D.C. On alert.
We're focusing
on public transit.
But how did Zoey get that
woman's iPad in the first place?
Zoey was desperate.
She needed to get online.
She saw an opportunity,
and she took it.
When she was finished
making the video,
she dropped it back off
at the coffee cart.
Excuse me, I found this
on the ground.
I think someone might have
dropped it.
You found it?
Thank you. Thank you.
Oh.
But, I mean,
why not just dump it?
Why bring it back and return
to the scene of the crime?
She felt guilty.
It was worth the risk of getting
caught to clear her conscience.
She's a good kid.
Yeah.
I don't know, I just wish
Aaron had the same conscience.
You know, he had almost no
remorse for what he did to Zoey.
If I have to hear
"everyone else is doing it"
just one more time...
Aaron wanted to be
part of the social norm.
He felt powerful, in control.
He got caught up in a cyber-mob.
Which led to a diffusion
of responsibility.
No, he didn't just join in.
Avery, he helped
lead the charge.
He'll be less likely to engage
in bullying behavior
because you know.
So open up
the conversation with him.
Tell Aaron that you expect
and you trust him
to make better decisions.
And if he doesn't, monitor him.
All right.
All right, session's over.
So let's get back
into Zoey's head.
I analyzed her patterns of life
looking for a tipping point.
Looking for some event that
would reveal her cyberbully.
But I couldn't find
any fights with any friends,
no bad breakups.
Before the cyberbullying,
Zoey led a very ordinary life
for a 17-year-old.
The only thing I'm sure of
is that she's unsure.
About what she'll do next?
About who her cyberbully is.
If she knew, why wouldn't
she say it in her video threat?
I know who started
the "Kill Yourself Zoey Tan"
Web site.
You have 24 hours to confess...
or you'll be sorry.
Yeah, she's on
the same search we are.
Only Zoey is experiencing
overwhelming humiliation
and anger.
Which could push her
to follow through
- on her threats of revenge.
- Yeah.
Well, we need to find her
before that happens.
I'll send units
over to Flintwood High.
There is not gonna be
a school shooting on my watch.
Zoey posted again.
Another video.
"You should think twice
about cyberbullying.
Especially if your dad
works for the FBI."
This was done
in my son's bedroom.
That's from his computer.
Zoey has RATed
my son's computer.
RATing software is easy
to download.
- She's following through
on her threats. -
Doing psychological damage
to Aaron.
Right.
She just got revenge
with a cyber-bomb.
Yeah, what if psychological
revenge isn't enough?
She decides to get physical
damage in the real world?
She's starting with Aaron;
someone else will be next
until she finds out
who her bully is.
I'm gonna have Nelson
pick up his computer.
Zoey must have stolen
another device to RAT Aaron.
- We're gonna find her.
- All right.
We need to figure out
who the cyberbully mastermind is
before Zoey does.
I got all the legal names
of the First Responders.
Three of them don't go
to Zoey's high school.
Leaving us with
nine possible targets.
I narrowed them down,
looking at the time stamps
of the cyberbullying page.
There was a consistent pattern.
They all seem to appear
between 12:00 to 1:00 p.m.
Hmm.
Is there any way to determine
which students were
in the library at that time?
We sure can; I have
all the school schedules.
Eight out of the nine students
didn't have access
to the library
between 12:00 and 1:00 p.m.
Since it was occupied
by the yearbook staff.
Leaving us
with Jennifer Mayfield.
I honestly don't know
who started the page.
I feel so awful for Zoey.
We've been friends
since preschool.
I don't think I've ever
called one of my friends
a "heinous bitch" or told them
I wish that they would die
a slow and painful death.
Well, some friends deserve it.
Zoey betrayed you, didn't she?
One of the first posts
on that page was a chat
between Zoey and another girl.
About me.
Zoey revealed
some stuff I told her.
Private stuff.
So, yeah, I was pissed.
After the page started.
Before that, we were cool.
Oh, my God.
I can't believe she did this.
Zoey posted a photo of me
undressing in my room
on ToggleFly.
That photo was taken
on the camera of your computer.
It doesn't feel great to be
on the other side
of cyberbullying, does it?
I didn't start the page,
I just joined in.
Jennifer, this is important.
Do you have any idea
where Zoey is?
No.
You can go.
I think I have a lead
on where Zoey might be.
I went old-school...
traced her movements
on the iPad based on the
ridge detail left on the screen.
The fingerprint smudge path
that she left behind
when she uploaded the video.
Then I found a rogue print,
which I just got confirmation...
is Zoey's.
Zoey searched for directions
to the city of Chesapeake Bay.
Mm-hmm. Only problem is
there's no address.
I don't need an address.
I know exactly
where she's going.
When she first
disappeared,
I called the cops
in Chesapeake Bay.
They searched the cabin.
She wasn't there.
We haven't been to the cabin
since Annette passed away.
We're gonna find Zoey.
Just like we expected,
there's a backdoor Trojan
on Jennifer's computer.
And on Sifter's son's.
Found the same foreign
I.P. Address on both devices.
Well, that links to the computer
from the library
- that we confiscated.
- I just traced the origin
of Zoey's posts on ToggleFly.
They also came from the computer
in the library.
I've got a wiretap
on that computer.
I would've seen
the transmissions.
Other than kids
checking their e-mail
and trying to look up
blocked porn sites,
there hasn't been
a lot of activity there.
Zoey's not the one
sending out these posts.
The cyberbully RATed
those kids' computers
and hijacked
Zoey's ToggleFly account.
So our target
is doing all of this
without physical access
to that computer in the library.
I mean, they have to be
connected to
the high school's network
in order to spoof the computer.
So the device used to spoof that
computer is at the high school?
That means our cyberbully
is there, too. Come on.
All right, let's search
the network for the device.
If the cyberbully's
computer is online,
we'll get its unique I.D.
Yeah, the MAC address.
I used to hide out in my
school's library during lunch.
Mm-hmm.
The librarian was
practically my best friend.
So where do you hide out now?
The cyberbully
lured Zoey to Owen,
dropped her phone in the park,
spoofed her phone,
all so they could send you
that suicide text.
And the phone call.
Zoey! Zoey?
We've been
thinking about this all wrong.
It isn't about Zoey.
It's about you.
You're the intended victim.
Me? I don't understand.
You're saying that someone's
bullying Zoey because of me?
That doesn't make sense.
What are you doing?
I need to look at your phone.
We found the MAC address.
That's it.
That's the address
of the computer
linked to this computer
that spoofed Zoey's devices.
It's definitely
here in this school.
This will tell us
when we're getting
closer to the target's device.
76 percent now.
Okay, 88 percent.
Oh, and we just hit 97 percent.
Any of them could be connected
- to the network through
the Wi-Fi. -
Avery, did you find Zoey?
Elijah, we had it all wrong.
You're not looking
for a student.
I should've known.
It's always the jilted lover.
We're on it.
Hundred percent.
And now we have our proof.
All right, time for me
to get a little guidance.
Arianna Peterson?
Yes.
Agent Mundo.
I'd like to ask you
a few questions about Zoey Tan.
Of course. Yes.
Um, anything I can do to help.
Come on in.
I'm sorry about this mess.
I'm also yearbook advisor.
I'm doing double duty
around here.
So...
should we be worried
about our safety,
since Zoey is still out there?
Usually victims of cyberbullying
kill themselves,
not other people.
Oh, God.
Zoey was being cyberbullied?
You're her guidance counselor.
You didn't know that?
Well, I heard rumors.
But I just stay off
of social media.
Really?
'Cause you updated
Zoey's cyberbullying page
20 minutes ago
from your computer.
Like a criminal who gloves up
and files a serial number
off a gun,
you took every cyber precaution
to hide yourself.
But, like most criminals,
you made a mistake:
Using a burner phone
to text Zoey's father.
We traced the serial number from
that phone right back to you.
You can't prove
any of what you're saying.
Even I know that burner phones
are untraceable.
But what you don't know
is that the first time
you connect a phone
with a computer,
it logs that activity.
Leaves a digital trace,
a cyber fingerprint.
You plugged your burner phone
into this computer
minutes before texting
Zoey's father.
We know he ended
his relationship with you.
What are you talking about?
Must've really pissed you off.
'Cause you decided
to torture Jordan.
You called him when he was
- in Rock Creek Park
just to, what... - Zoey? Zoey?
...hear the fear in his voice?
You have no idea
what he did to me.
He dumped me
like a piece of trash.
All because of her.
He chose her.
She's his daughter.
What did you expect?
Few weeks after
you and Jordan broke up,
you started catfishing Zoey,
drawing her into a fake
online relationship with Owen.
Because if she was happy
with Owen,
I thought she'd let her dad
be happy, too.
She'd be okay with us
getting back together.
But when none of that worked,
you RATed Zoey's computer.
You started a cyberbullying
page to torment Zoey.
I wanted Jordan to suffer,
just like I did.
But why go after Zoey?
Why do that
to a 17-year-old girl?
Because the best way
to hurt a father
is to hurt his child.
Arianna Peterson,
you're under arrest
for cyber fraud
and aggravated stalking.
Worst guidance counselor ever.
Was that a gunshot?
I keep that car covered
and the key hidden!
Zoey must be here!
Zoey!
Zoey! Zoey!
Oh, my God!
She's bleeding!
This is Agent Avery Ryan
at 527 Oakwood Road.
- Right here, sweetheart.
- Have a gunshot victim.
I need an ambulance. Code 3.
I wasn't...
I wasn't... I wasn't going to...
That's okay.
I wasn't gonna...
It's okay.
Avery, she's losing
consciousness.
Take off your jacket,
apply pressure to the wound.
How did this happen?
Jordan, did you keep rifles
in the cabin?
She was taking the rifles?
Why, Zoey?
Why would you do that?
She was having second thoughts.
She accidentally shot herself
when she was trying to get
the guns out of the trunk.
That's what she was trying
to tell you.
She wasn't gonna
go through with it.
Jordan, it's gonna be okay.
She's gonna make it, Jordan.
Yeah.
Zoey's gonna be okay.
I'm gonna be leaving
social media for a while,
so this will be
the last video I'm posting.
For those of you who care,
surgery went well.
Besides a gnarly scar
and a couple months on crutches,
doctors say that
I'm gonna be fine.
Better than fine.
To everyone who cyberbullied me,
know that your words
mean something.
That cruel comment that you type
without second thought
could destroy someone's life.
Your words are weapons.
Be careful how you use them.
Ripped By mstoll
I was a victim of cyber crime.
Like you, I posted
on social media,
checked my bank account
balance online,
even kept the confidential files
of my psychological practice
on my computer.
Then I was hacked,
and as a result,
one of my patients was murdered.
My investigation into her death
led me to the FBI,
where I joined a team
of cyber experts
to wage a war against
a new breed of criminal
hiding on the Deep Web...
infiltrating our daily lives
in ways we never imagined...
...faceless...
nameless...
lurking inside our devices,
just a keystroke away.
We're currently sitting
at 57 degrees...
Northbound is
bumper-to-bumper...
House Democrats are
divided over a controv...
In other news,
Flintwood High School student
Zoey Tan was reported missing
two days ago.
Authorities widened
their search for local
- high school student Zoey Tan.
- D.C. Metro continues
its investigation
into the disappearance of
17-year-old Zoey Tan.
Jordan, any news?
What?
Okay, slow down.
Send me the photo.
It's gonna be okay.
We're gonna find her.
"I'm sorry, Dad.
Don't know what else to do.
"It's all too much. I love you.
Good-bye."
Krumitz,
I'm sending you a photo.
I need you to get the GPS
coordinates for the metadata.
Avery, the photo
Zoey Tan sent her father
was taken in Rock Creek Park.
Ripped By mstoll
According to the GPS coordinates
from the photo
that Zoey sent her father,
it was taken here
in Rock Creek...
this specific area.
We've got three search units
covering the four square miles
and another in the zoo
adjacent to the park.
Keep your phone on.
Jordan.
Breathe.
If she's here, we'll find her.
I can't remember
if I told Zoey "I love you"
the last time I saw her.
I keep replaying it
through my head. I...
I grabbed my coffee,
I handed her money
for lunch, I...
I think I kissed her
on the forehead. I just...
I just can't remember
what I said.
You're a wonderful father.
I've seen so myself.
Zoey adores you.
She knows you love her.
You know, raising a daughter
on your own, I just...
Over here!
Zoey?
Zoey! Zoey!
Jordan, wait!
Wait!
I'm absolutely sure
that's Zoey's phone.
I bought her that case
for Christmas.
Battery's dead.
It'll take a second.
You think she's still
in the park?
My teams are
continuing the search.
I'll keep you posted.
Do you know Zoey's password?
No, I never asked for it.
I... I let Zoey
have her privacy.
It'll take us a minute
to unlock it.
It's Zoey.
Baby? Are you okay?
Where are you?
Zoey? Zoey?
Hello?
Does Zoey have
another cell phone?
Not that I know of.
Well, this phone
wasn't calling you. Hit redial.
Call it back.
What the hell? Is that possible?
Only if it's a cyber intrusion.
Zoey's phone was spoofed.
Just spoke to Detective Garcia.
He's still running point
on the search,
but it's our case now.
Any new evidence of Zoey
in the area?
- Besides the phone?
- Not yet.
They've searched
30% of the park.
We've extended the perimeter,
but so far, no sign
of a struggle or foul play.
You think she's still alive?
The text was definitive,
but we haven't found a body yet.
Are we, uh...
ruling out the father
as a suspect?
Well, I know Jordan. He would
never harm his daughter.
Listen, I know
he's your friend, but...
Elijah, I was
Jordan's therapist.
We stayed in contact
after I lost my practice.
He came to me
for grief counseling
when his wife, Annette,
passed away.
Zoey is his life.
There's no doubt in my mind.
Jordan had nothing
to do with this.
All right.
I'm gonna head to their house,
collect the rest
of Zoey's devices.
Oh, Elijah.
I know it was your morning
to take Michelle to school.
Thank you for being here.
Grandpa was thrilled to get
the time with her, believe me.
It's important to you.
I wouldn't be anywhere else.
So thank you all for coming by.
Uh, there is no news.
Like I said,
Zoey is still missing.
I've extended
my guidance counseling hours
for anyone
who might have information
or just wants
to talk one-on-one
about Zoey's disappearance.
Jordan, please keep us updated.
Let me know
if there's anything I can do.
- Thank you. Thank you all.
- If you need anything,
man, let us know, okay?
School administrators?
I know they mean well,
but it's like
they're expecting the worst.
I mean, could Zoey
have been suicidal
and I just didn't see it?
Did you notice any significant
behavioral changes?
Emotional instability,
overwhelming sadness,
- anger, hopelessness?
- No, no.
There was nothing like that.
I mean, Zoey was...
Zoey is a typical
moody teenager.
But she's getting straight "A"s.
Scored well on her SATs.
I thought she was happy.
I mean, I'm her father;
how did I miss this?
Zoey was either really clumsy
or she took out
some serious aggression
on this poor tablet.
There are no pictures
anywhere in here.
It's like she didn't
have any friends.
That's cute you think teenagers
still print out photos.
That's what social media is for.
What are picture frames for?
Parents. Grandparents.
You know, old people.
I would get mad at you,
but I walked myself
right into that one.
Whoa. Did you see that?
Yeah, that's weird.
It's like someone
moved the mouse,
except neither one of us did.
First her phone,
now her computer.
Somebody is controlling
Zoey's devices.
And we're gonna find you.
What have we got?
You were right about
Zoey's phone being spoofed.
But cool thing is
how it was spoofed.
Wait for it.
Oh, let me guess:
Nelson is not
the person calling me.
That's right. I am.
I made that call
through a spoofing Web site
that anyone with an Internet
connection has access to.
There's over a dozen
sites like this.
But the good news is
that I had to input
my office number
to make that call just now,
so these sites should have
a record of those inputs.
That was... that was a good one.
It was.
But, uh... I think got you beat.
I went back and looked
at the metadata
on the photo
that Zoey texted her dad.
It was taken at Rock Creek Park.
Just not this morning.
Four months ago.
Zoey didn't take that photo
with her phone,
she took it
with her digital camera.
But most importantly,
the photo never existed
on Zoey's cell.
If she didn't
have it on her phone,
- how did she send it?
- Well, that's the thing.
I went through 972 photos
on Zoey's cell.
Photo wasn't there.
I mean, I checked e-mails.
Nothing.
Then I went to look for the text
that she sent her dad
this morning.
See, look, there's no way
she sent that text.
I mean, Zoey's phone died
on Friday at 11:10 p.m.
It wasn't turned on
until you plugged it in
this morning around 9:00 a.m.
But the text was
sent to Zoey's dad
two hours before that,
at 7:12 a.m.
Someone else
sent that text to Jordan
through a spoofing Web site.
That still leaves
one important question:
Where is Zoey Tan?
Boy, Zoey was all the parents
could talk about
at drop-off this morning.
Does your son Aaron know her?
He knows her name.
He's seen her on campus.
Not much else.
She's in the grade above him.
So where do we stand on this?
Both the text and call
to Jordan's cell
originated from a spoofing site.
So all we've got
is a suicide text and just...
hope that Zoey's still alive.
All right. Keep me posted.
When we collected the devices
from Zoey's room,
someone was watching us through
the camera on her laptop.
Zoey's laptop is infected with
a malware that allows the device
to connect with and control it.
A backdoor Trojan.
Exactly.
And I found
a foreign I.P. Address
in her network logs.
We're running it down now.
We may not know who,
but I think I know
why she was being spied on.
I made a cluster graph
of the social media response
to Zoey's disappearance
on multiple platforms.
Orange are tablets
and computers,
yellow are phones.
The center of the burst
is the device
and person sending out
the information.
These are the screen names of
the people posting about Zoey.
This heavy concentration
of activity
all centers around a Web site.
This site started
three months ago.
Look at some of the comments.
"Zoey, just slit
your wrists already."
"No one would miss you
if you were dead."
How are kids this cruel?
Because they're hiding
behind a keyboard.
They think their words
have no consequences.
Press "send" and move on.
I found all this and,
worst of all,
a video taken of her
without her knowledge.
From her camera on her laptop.
Zoey's being watched.
Recorded.
Terrorized in her own bedroom.
The cyberbully was posting
Zoey's journal entries,
private photos...
Used to be bullying was limited
to the confines of your school.
When you went home,
you could have a break, but...
now thanks to the Internet,
a bully can attack
anonymously, 24/7.
There's no safe haven.
If I was Zoey, I'd run away.
Disappear.
Or commit suicide.
Why didn't she tell me
she was being bullied?
I could've helped her.
- I could've done something.
- Jordan,
only one in ten cyberbullying
victims tell their parents.
There's such a high level
of shame and fear involved.
When I was a kid,
if you got bullied,
there were physical signs.
Cuts, bruises...
you couldn't hide it.
I should've taken
her computer out of her room,
limited her phone access.
She would've figured out
a way to get online.
This is addictive behavior.
Teens stay up all night
texting, messaging,
surfing the Web.
It's called vamping.
Is there anyone you can think of
who would want
to lash out at Zoey like this?
Did she have a fight
with anyone?
A girlfriend? An ex?
No! I feel like I don't know
anything about my own daughter!
Jordan, this is not your fault.
Look, the only person
she had a problem with was me.
What do you mean?
Why?
I started
seeing someone this year.
And Zoey wasn't comfortable
with me dating her.
So I ended the relationship.
Zoey's my world.
What if she doesn't know that?
What if I never get to tell her?
Forensic analysis of Zoey's
computer hard drive revealed
deleted messages
from her FriendAgenda page,
which I recovered.
I found a long thread
of messages.
She was having
an online relationship
- with an Owen Campbell.
- Mm-hmm.
Started about five months ago.
She must've deleted the messages
so her father
wouldn't find them.
The last message
Owen sent her was
the day before she went missing.
"Leave everything behind.
You can start over.
Come be with me."
- Get me an address.
- Okay.
Where's Zoey Tan?
Dude, I already told the cops,
I don't know where she is!
You told her
to come here... why?
Yeah, I didn't
tell her anything!
I moved to North Carolina three
years ago, and I haven't even...
I barely knew her at D. C!
But you communicated
with her online.
No. No!
Owen.
Let's talk about
your FriendAgenda page.
You sent this message to Zoey,
asking her to come to
North Carolina to be with you.
You want to start
telling the truth?
Whoa, I... I didn't
send that message.
This isn't even
my FriendAgenda page.
Can I show you?
See?
This is my real page.
Zoey was catfished.
Somebody was pretending
to be you on FriendAgenda.
Well, how did
they get my photos?
Anybody can go on your page,
steal your photos
and create a fake account.
Zoey thought she was having
an online relationship with you.
Look.
There are hundreds
of messages here.
Oh, yeah, I didn't send
any of these things.
I told you, you know,
I barely knew Zoey.
I would never tell her
that I loved her, you know?
That's why I was freaking out
when she shows up out of nowhere
at my house this morning.
Wait a minute!
You're telling me that Zoey was
alive and in North Carolina
this morning?
What time did you see her?
Around, uh, 8:00 a.m.
Or... or something.
Owen, we need you to tell us
exactly what happened
when you saw Zoey today.
I answered the door.
And then I pushed her away
when she tried to hug me.
It was just
super awkward 'cause
my actual girlfriend was there.
Was she upset?
Yeah, she seemed
pretty pissed off.
I mean...
said that I lied to her
and that I was
just like the others.
Um... then I told her to leave,
- and... and she did.
- Do you have
any idea where she went?
Was she in a car?
I don't know.
No, I don't think so.
She just walked away.
I just put a BOLO out
on Zoey to local police.
Hopefully they'll
get eyes on her soon.
Zoey's relationship
with Fake Owen
started five months ago.
Two months later,
the bullying started.
It's got to be
the same person, right?
Our target wanted Zoey to suffer
by creating an environment
where she believed
there was only person
she could turn to, and then...
That all came
crashing down when she met Owen
and realized
she'd been catfished.
It's a pretty elaborate scheme.
Catfishing, spoofing, RATing,
cyberbullying...
what's the endgame?
We're looking for someone
who wants to ruin Zoey's life.
By isolating her
from her friends and family,
pushing her to the edge.
Well, before she falls over,
we better find her.
Oh, you better believe
I authorized it.
Have to call you later.
Have you located
our target's computer yet?
Yeah. The node
our cyberbully used
is somewhere
in Zoey's high school.
I'm on my way now.
All right.
So, Avery believes
our cyberbully mastermind
is part of this whole
social media conversation,
pushing it forward,
encouraging people to respond.
I can map the degree
of centrality,
figure out which kids
are central to the network,
consistently instigating
new conversations.
I don't see how anybody
survives high school these days.
That's why I dropped out.
You were bullied?
Always been different.
My life was a living hell
from first grade on.
When I was 15, I left school,
became a hacker.
Started with the little stuff,
but then...
Yeah, but then you were arrested
for shutting down
the entire power grid
of New Hampshire.
But you can't tell me
you put on the black hat,
orchestrated the largest
SCADA attack we've ever seen
because you were bullied.
No. But being bullied
forced me to escape,
run away, become a loner,
because I didn't trust people.
And the computer was a safe
place where I had control.
I could be anybody
I wanted to be online.
So... I became a black hat.
So did you ever consider
using your hacking skills
to get revenge?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, there's this kid
named Trevor.
He is lucky my FBI badge
prevents me
from kicking his ass
all over the Internet.
His butt.
I mean kick his butt.
Hey. What's going on here?
Push in.
This is happening right now.
They all seem to be posting
about the same event.
"We don't need to #SaveZoey,
we need to #RunFromZoey"?
When was this video posted?
A few minutes ago by Zoey.
Loop Avery and Elijah
in on this.
I've been bullied, tormented,
tortured by you.
Faceless screen names.
Spreading my humiliation
across the Web.
I was told by strangers
to kill myself.
They said the world would be
a better place without me.
And I believed them.
I need to do something to make
this miserable existence
worthwhile.
I know who started
the "Kill Yourself Zoey Tan"
Web site.
You have 24 hours to confess...
or you'll be sorry.
That was a threat.
She's a vigilante
hunting her cyberbully.
Actually,
I got to call you back.
I found a pattern
on the cluster graph.
As soon as a new post appeared
on the cyberbullying page,
there were 12 teens
who consistently sent out
the link or commented
on ToggleFly,
which is like Twitter.
I'm calling them
the "First Responders."
12, okay.
Zoey could certainly believe
one of those is her bully.
We need to I.D.
The person responsible
before Zoey makes good
on her threat and retaliates.
Let me just see that.
Right now, all I have are
- the First Responders'
screen names. - All right.
We can request a subpoena
to get their legal names
from ToggleFly, but...
What's wrong?
You're certain
about these handles?
Yeah.
This is serious, Aaron.
Your ToggleFly handle
is on a short list
of potential targets.
You're one of 12 instigators.
And I want to know why
you were cyberbullying Zoey.
Everybody else was doing it.
Well, you're not everyone!
I raised you better than this.
Dad, it's not that big a deal.
It's just a joke.
Well...
do you see me laughing?
Your words hurt this girl.
Words have consequences.
And cyberbullying
happens to be a crime.
If that girl commits suicide,
you could be held responsible.
But, Dad, this girl is crazy.
Like, for real crazy.
And-and here, I-I got proof.
Dad, she's crazy.
She knows how to use a gun.
Where did you get this?
I don't want to get anyone
in trouble.
You're worried about getting
somebody else in trouble?
Zoey is missing.
Now, she could be suicidal,
she could be homicidal.
Tell me where you got
this video.
Sam posted it.
Took it when his family
went hunting
with Zoey and her dad last year.
But kids are scared today, Dad.
They think she's gonna go
all Columbine on us.
Don't suggest things like that.
This conversation
isn't over yet.
Man, you missed
some major developments.
Zoey's pissed
and is on a rampage.
Now, I'm trying to find her
before she does some serious
damage to her cyberbully.
Whatever you got can't top that.
Au contraire, my vertically
challenged friend.
I found the device
that the cyberbully was using
to torment Zoey.
I went to Zoey's
high school library.
I had to hook up directly
to the router
to find the exact computer
that the cyberbully used.
Then I searched every device
on the network.
And I found my culprit.
You know,
it's a shame we can't
prosecute computers,
because this would be
case closed.
Okay, so you're saying
we have the gun,
but we don't have the person
that pulled the trigger?
Correct.
The computer that was spoofing
Zoey's devices was
in the high school library,
so anybody with access
to that room could be
the cyberbully.
950 kids go to that school...
Or we could be dealing
with more than one target.
Bullies like to team up.
- It's mob mentality.
- Would you let me finish?
Good news is the cyberbully
doesn't know the jig is up.
I swapped this hard drive
tower with a decoy
and installed a wiretap
on the system.
If that cyberbully uses
that computer
to update
the cyberbullying site,
oh, we'll know.
That's what I'm talking about.
And that's what
I'm talking about.
- Ooh.
- Damn.
Wow.
Wait, I just got something.
It's the signal from the tablet
that Zoey used.
Nelson just located
the device Zoey used
to make her vigilante video.
He's sending us
the coordinates now.
It's near the intersection
of Bedford and 12th.
Looks like she's less than
half a mile away.
She's on the move.
Turn left here.
The next street, turn right.
She's about a block ahead.
That must be her
in that blue Crosstrek.
Two cars in front of us.
This is Special Agent
Avery Ryan.
We are in pursuit.
We need backup from police
and FBI units in Charlotte.
Our suspect is heading north
on Ontario Drive
in a blue Crosstrek.
Pull over, but do not approach.
Driver might be
armed and dangerous.
She just ran the stop sign.
Simon, go.
Avery, I just got a hit
on Jordan Tan's credit card.
Zoey bought ammunition
at a store
in North Carolina
a half hour ago.
She blew through that stop sign,
and she's got ammo.
She means business.
Let me see both your hands.
Where's Zoey?!
Where is she?!
Keep your hands
where I can see them.
I-I don't know a Zoey Tan.
Isabella, is this your iPad?
- Yes.
- This is Zoey.
Have you seen her?
Actually, yes.
She-she found
my iPad earlier today.
I was getting coffee
and lost it.
She returned it to me.
Why?
Something happen to her?
We've got every department
between North Carolina
and D.C. On alert.
We're focusing
on public transit.
But how did Zoey get that
woman's iPad in the first place?
Zoey was desperate.
She needed to get online.
She saw an opportunity,
and she took it.
When she was finished
making the video,
she dropped it back off
at the coffee cart.
Excuse me, I found this
on the ground.
I think someone might have
dropped it.
You found it?
Thank you. Thank you.
Oh.
But, I mean,
why not just dump it?
Why bring it back and return
to the scene of the crime?
She felt guilty.
It was worth the risk of getting
caught to clear her conscience.
She's a good kid.
Yeah.
I don't know, I just wish
Aaron had the same conscience.
You know, he had almost no
remorse for what he did to Zoey.
If I have to hear
"everyone else is doing it"
just one more time...
Aaron wanted to be
part of the social norm.
He felt powerful, in control.
He got caught up in a cyber-mob.
Which led to a diffusion
of responsibility.
No, he didn't just join in.
Avery, he helped
lead the charge.
He'll be less likely to engage
in bullying behavior
because you know.
So open up
the conversation with him.
Tell Aaron that you expect
and you trust him
to make better decisions.
And if he doesn't, monitor him.
All right.
All right, session's over.
So let's get back
into Zoey's head.
I analyzed her patterns of life
looking for a tipping point.
Looking for some event that
would reveal her cyberbully.
But I couldn't find
any fights with any friends,
no bad breakups.
Before the cyberbullying,
Zoey led a very ordinary life
for a 17-year-old.
The only thing I'm sure of
is that she's unsure.
About what she'll do next?
About who her cyberbully is.
If she knew, why wouldn't
she say it in her video threat?
I know who started
the "Kill Yourself Zoey Tan"
Web site.
You have 24 hours to confess...
or you'll be sorry.
Yeah, she's on
the same search we are.
Only Zoey is experiencing
overwhelming humiliation
and anger.
Which could push her
to follow through
- on her threats of revenge.
- Yeah.
Well, we need to find her
before that happens.
I'll send units
over to Flintwood High.
There is not gonna be
a school shooting on my watch.
Zoey posted again.
Another video.
"You should think twice
about cyberbullying.
Especially if your dad
works for the FBI."
This was done
in my son's bedroom.
That's from his computer.
Zoey has RATed
my son's computer.
RATing software is easy
to download.
- She's following through
on her threats. -
Doing psychological damage
to Aaron.
Right.
She just got revenge
with a cyber-bomb.
Yeah, what if psychological
revenge isn't enough?
She decides to get physical
damage in the real world?
She's starting with Aaron;
someone else will be next
until she finds out
who her bully is.
I'm gonna have Nelson
pick up his computer.
Zoey must have stolen
another device to RAT Aaron.
- We're gonna find her.
- All right.
We need to figure out
who the cyberbully mastermind is
before Zoey does.
I got all the legal names
of the First Responders.
Three of them don't go
to Zoey's high school.
Leaving us with
nine possible targets.
I narrowed them down,
looking at the time stamps
of the cyberbullying page.
There was a consistent pattern.
They all seem to appear
between 12:00 to 1:00 p.m.
Hmm.
Is there any way to determine
which students were
in the library at that time?
We sure can; I have
all the school schedules.
Eight out of the nine students
didn't have access
to the library
between 12:00 and 1:00 p.m.
Since it was occupied
by the yearbook staff.
Leaving us
with Jennifer Mayfield.
I honestly don't know
who started the page.
I feel so awful for Zoey.
We've been friends
since preschool.
I don't think I've ever
called one of my friends
a "heinous bitch" or told them
I wish that they would die
a slow and painful death.
Well, some friends deserve it.
Zoey betrayed you, didn't she?
One of the first posts
on that page was a chat
between Zoey and another girl.
About me.
Zoey revealed
some stuff I told her.
Private stuff.
So, yeah, I was pissed.
After the page started.
Before that, we were cool.
Oh, my God.
I can't believe she did this.
Zoey posted a photo of me
undressing in my room
on ToggleFly.
That photo was taken
on the camera of your computer.
It doesn't feel great to be
on the other side
of cyberbullying, does it?
I didn't start the page,
I just joined in.
Jennifer, this is important.
Do you have any idea
where Zoey is?
No.
You can go.
I think I have a lead
on where Zoey might be.
I went old-school...
traced her movements
on the iPad based on the
ridge detail left on the screen.
The fingerprint smudge path
that she left behind
when she uploaded the video.
Then I found a rogue print,
which I just got confirmation...
is Zoey's.
Zoey searched for directions
to the city of Chesapeake Bay.
Mm-hmm. Only problem is
there's no address.
I don't need an address.
I know exactly
where she's going.
When she first
disappeared,
I called the cops
in Chesapeake Bay.
They searched the cabin.
She wasn't there.
We haven't been to the cabin
since Annette passed away.
We're gonna find Zoey.
Just like we expected,
there's a backdoor Trojan
on Jennifer's computer.
And on Sifter's son's.
Found the same foreign
I.P. Address on both devices.
Well, that links to the computer
from the library
- that we confiscated.
- I just traced the origin
of Zoey's posts on ToggleFly.
They also came from the computer
in the library.
I've got a wiretap
on that computer.
I would've seen
the transmissions.
Other than kids
checking their e-mail
and trying to look up
blocked porn sites,
there hasn't been
a lot of activity there.
Zoey's not the one
sending out these posts.
The cyberbully RATed
those kids' computers
and hijacked
Zoey's ToggleFly account.
So our target
is doing all of this
without physical access
to that computer in the library.
I mean, they have to be
connected to
the high school's network
in order to spoof the computer.
So the device used to spoof that
computer is at the high school?
That means our cyberbully
is there, too. Come on.
All right, let's search
the network for the device.
If the cyberbully's
computer is online,
we'll get its unique I.D.
Yeah, the MAC address.
I used to hide out in my
school's library during lunch.
Mm-hmm.
The librarian was
practically my best friend.
So where do you hide out now?
The cyberbully
lured Zoey to Owen,
dropped her phone in the park,
spoofed her phone,
all so they could send you
that suicide text.
And the phone call.
Zoey! Zoey?
We've been
thinking about this all wrong.
It isn't about Zoey.
It's about you.
You're the intended victim.
Me? I don't understand.
You're saying that someone's
bullying Zoey because of me?
That doesn't make sense.
What are you doing?
I need to look at your phone.
We found the MAC address.
That's it.
That's the address
of the computer
linked to this computer
that spoofed Zoey's devices.
It's definitely
here in this school.
This will tell us
when we're getting
closer to the target's device.
76 percent now.
Okay, 88 percent.
Oh, and we just hit 97 percent.
Any of them could be connected
- to the network through
the Wi-Fi. -
Avery, did you find Zoey?
Elijah, we had it all wrong.
You're not looking
for a student.
I should've known.
It's always the jilted lover.
We're on it.
Hundred percent.
And now we have our proof.
All right, time for me
to get a little guidance.
Arianna Peterson?
Yes.
Agent Mundo.
I'd like to ask you
a few questions about Zoey Tan.
Of course. Yes.
Um, anything I can do to help.
Come on in.
I'm sorry about this mess.
I'm also yearbook advisor.
I'm doing double duty
around here.
So...
should we be worried
about our safety,
since Zoey is still out there?
Usually victims of cyberbullying
kill themselves,
not other people.
Oh, God.
Zoey was being cyberbullied?
You're her guidance counselor.
You didn't know that?
Well, I heard rumors.
But I just stay off
of social media.
Really?
'Cause you updated
Zoey's cyberbullying page
20 minutes ago
from your computer.
Like a criminal who gloves up
and files a serial number
off a gun,
you took every cyber precaution
to hide yourself.
But, like most criminals,
you made a mistake:
Using a burner phone
to text Zoey's father.
We traced the serial number from
that phone right back to you.
You can't prove
any of what you're saying.
Even I know that burner phones
are untraceable.
But what you don't know
is that the first time
you connect a phone
with a computer,
it logs that activity.
Leaves a digital trace,
a cyber fingerprint.
You plugged your burner phone
into this computer
minutes before texting
Zoey's father.
We know he ended
his relationship with you.
What are you talking about?
Must've really pissed you off.
'Cause you decided
to torture Jordan.
You called him when he was
- in Rock Creek Park
just to, what... - Zoey? Zoey?
...hear the fear in his voice?
You have no idea
what he did to me.
He dumped me
like a piece of trash.
All because of her.
He chose her.
She's his daughter.
What did you expect?
Few weeks after
you and Jordan broke up,
you started catfishing Zoey,
drawing her into a fake
online relationship with Owen.
Because if she was happy
with Owen,
I thought she'd let her dad
be happy, too.
She'd be okay with us
getting back together.
But when none of that worked,
you RATed Zoey's computer.
You started a cyberbullying
page to torment Zoey.
I wanted Jordan to suffer,
just like I did.
But why go after Zoey?
Why do that
to a 17-year-old girl?
Because the best way
to hurt a father
is to hurt his child.
Arianna Peterson,
you're under arrest
for cyber fraud
and aggravated stalking.
Worst guidance counselor ever.
Was that a gunshot?
I keep that car covered
and the key hidden!
Zoey must be here!
Zoey!
Zoey! Zoey!
Oh, my God!
She's bleeding!
This is Agent Avery Ryan
at 527 Oakwood Road.
- Right here, sweetheart.
- Have a gunshot victim.
I need an ambulance. Code 3.
I wasn't...
I wasn't... I wasn't going to...
That's okay.
I wasn't gonna...
It's okay.
Avery, she's losing
consciousness.
Take off your jacket,
apply pressure to the wound.
How did this happen?
Jordan, did you keep rifles
in the cabin?
She was taking the rifles?
Why, Zoey?
Why would you do that?
She was having second thoughts.
She accidentally shot herself
when she was trying to get
the guns out of the trunk.
That's what she was trying
to tell you.
She wasn't gonna
go through with it.
Jordan, it's gonna be okay.
She's gonna make it, Jordan.
Yeah.
Zoey's gonna be okay.
I'm gonna be leaving
social media for a while,
so this will be
the last video I'm posting.
For those of you who care,
surgery went well.
Besides a gnarly scar
and a couple months on crutches,
doctors say that
I'm gonna be fine.
Better than fine.
To everyone who cyberbullied me,
know that your words
mean something.
That cruel comment that you type
without second thought
could destroy someone's life.
Your words are weapons.
Be careful how you use them.
