Rav and Nick, the tech experts guiding the potential victim, face a frustrating hurdle. They’re struggling to connect with him, while in the scam hub, the tension mounts as the team tries to disrupt the scammer’s operation. Adding to the pressure, ground interceptor Nathan is dispatched to try and stop the scam in person. Will he reach the victim in time?
