In L.A., a tour guide loads a group on his bus. A kid tells his mom that the tour sucks. A man tells the tour guide that he stayed at a hostel last night. The bus takes off and the guide talks about the town. During the ride, the mom asks the man about his friend, who looks nervous. The man says that his friend doesn't like crowds. Suddenly, the man and three other men pull out guns and begin to rob the tourists. The hijackers spray paint on the windows to block their view.

Later, David tells Don that there is a bus hijacking and that they were alerted after the driver pressed the panic button. David and Don meet with Walsh, the head of security for the tour bus company. Walsh says that his company installed every bus in their fleet with a GPS system and anti-hijacking equipment that can stop the bus. Walsh says that they can activate the system now. The team mobilizes a road block to surround the bus after it stops. Walsh tells his technician to send a signal to stop the bus. The team notices that his signal has been overridden and that the bus is now picking up speed. The SWAT team gets out of the bus's way and follows it.

The hijacker gets Don on the phone, says that he has 18 hostages and he wants 18 million dollars. He tells Don to tell the tour bus company representative to call their banker. The hijacker says that they have until seven to comply. The team realizes that they have four hours to comply with the hijacker's demand.

Charlie, Larry and Amita go to Alan's house and notice that it smells. Alan tells them that he is making cow manure puree for his research. He says that he is trying to find a power source using cow manure. Larry tells Alan that he should try to use equations before he conducts experiments. Charlie gets a call then quickly leaves.

The SWAT team follows the bus through the city. Charlie tells the team that the hijackers hacked in the bus security system. He says that when the technician logged in, they gave the hijackers the key to their system. Charlie says that the hacker changed the password.

Don talks to the hijacker on the phone and the hijacker asks about the status of the money. The hijacker says that for every minute past seven, he will kill one hostage. He grabs a mother who tells Don to give the hijacker what he wants.

Liz tells Don that a cop on the bus has been streaming a live feed to the authorities. Liz tells Don that they are trying to use facial recognition software to determine who the hijackers are. Liz tells Don that she has an interview for a supervisory position in another location.

Alan walks in Charlie's office. Charlie tells Alan that he is trying to save a bus full of hostages. Alan tells Charlie that he got funding for his cow manure project. Larry criticizes Alan about his method of research.

Using facial recognition, David tells Walsh that one of the hijackers is Phil, a mechanic who was recently fired from the tour bus company. Don and David meet with Caitlin Dawes who says that she is the fiance of Jack Schumer, the LAPD officer who is providing the team with the cell phone video. Caitlin says that she is on vacation and that she is supposed to get married this weekend. David tells Don that he thinks he knows where the bus is heading and that they should plant snipers there. The hijacker sees that Jack is acting suspicious and tells him to move where he can watch him. The team sees that the bus is heading to the area where they have snipers. The hijacker tells Don that he wants the money in four duffle bags. Charlie is able to hack in the bus and activate the brakes, causing it to stop in front of Don, David and the SWAT team. The team surrounds the bus. The hijacker tells Don to give him his power back or he is going to start killing hostages. Jack gets up, says that he is a cop and is worth more than everyone else. The hijacker tells Don to give him his power back.

Don tells the hijacker that they need some time to restart the bus. The hijacker tells him that he has an hour or he will kill Jack. Walsh tells David that he is trying to get money to the hijackers. David tells him that there is no guarantee that the hijackers will let the hostages go after they get their money.

The team realizes that they can't see in and that the hijackers have cranked up the heat, making it difficult for them to use thermal imaging. Charlie tells the team that he can use a CAD program that he designed, the video from the phone, and the bus manufacturing specs to give the snipers the targeting data that they need to take out the hijackers.

Don tells the team that they should wait until Charlie is done with his analysis. Amita walks in Charlie's office and tells him that Larry and Alan are fighting and that he needs to intervene. Amita says that they voted him team leader. The team learns that the leader is John Buckley, a high profile robber. They learn that he is accompanied by Andrew Hays, a drug runner and Victor Kirov, a hacker. David says that none of the hijackers have a history of violence. David says that he hasn't found any connection between the hijackers. Charlie gives the team a layout of the bus and the hijackers. They are able to line up the shot for the first man. John calls Don and Don says that they need more time. Charlie tells the rest of the team that he can't get a lock on the last hijacker because he is moving. John sees the phone with the camera and says that he is going to kill a cop and the mom. Charlie is finally able to lock on the last hijacker and tells them to take the shot. The snipers shoot the windows and the team enters the bus. When they get inside, they see that the bus is empty. The team discovers that there is a camera inside that is recording the interior. They see that the driver is strapped to a fake bomb. John tells Don that they have the wrong bus, then shoots Jack three times.
