03x13 - Overlooked

Post by bunniefuu »

Okay, last order of business.

Marty got a call from
Virginia Balfour yesterday.

She couldn't remember
who her account manager is.

That'd be me for the last years.

Yeah, obviously.

But she said she noticed

some discrepancies in her statements.

It happens every couple of months.

Her husband d*ed last year.

He handled the finances.
I'll hold her hand,

walk her through the statements.

Hold her hand. Massage her feet.

Do whatever it takes, please.

We don't want her taking
that $ million portfolio

you built somewhere else.

Relax, she's not going anywhere.

Dan, she mentioned calling the SEC,

and she's requested an audit
of her account.

She doesn't even know what that is.

Marty said she sounded serious.

Well, Marty doesn't know her like I do.

Give her the firm seats
to the Orioles' home opener.

I'll take her to lunch at the club.

Three martinis in,

she won't remember anything
about an audit.

I gotta go. It's been fun, g*ng.

Come on, Mike.

I need that loan by end of business.

No, no, end of business today.

Because something came up,
and I need it soon.

Look, look, I've been doing
business with you for years.

You know me.

Just see what you can do. Okay?

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]



[FLOOR CREAKING]



[SCREAMS]

You're coming with me.

[SCREAMS]

Calm down. I don't want to hurt you.

- [GROANS]
- Mom!

- Dad! Mom!
- Little bitch.

[SCREAMING]

Oh, my God, what are you doing?

- Mom.
- Let go of her.

Call .

- Leave my daughter alone.
- [GROANS]

[SCREAMS]

[SCREAMS]



Oh, my God.

- You bastard.
- [GROANS]

[SCREAMS]

She made me do it.

[SCREAMS]

Get back here.

[CRIES]

[SCREAMS]

Get off of me.

[SCREAMS] Help!

Get back here. I don't want to hurt you.

Somebody help, please.

[SCREAMS]

- [GROANS]
- Get out of my house.

[GROANS]

[SCREAMS]



- Hey.
- Hey.

I didn't even hear you leave.

Then mission accomplished.

You know, it hardly even
feels like a weekday.

It feels so different around
here since Tali's been gone.

Yeah, the house does feel
kind of empty without her.

Who knew a -year-old girl

could generate so much morning chaos?

I do think letting her go
to boarding school

was the right thing.

And I want her to have the experience.

I just didn't realize I'd become

an empty nester so quickly.

Hey.

You're not an empty nester.
You still got me.

Good morning, everyone.
Barnes is out with the flu.

Thankfully, it's not COVID,

but she won't be with us
the next couple of days.

- Kristin, are we ready?
- Yeah.

What do we got?

We got a double homicide in Maryland.

Mother and daughter,
Jeanine and Darcy Osterholm,

were m*rder*d at their home

in Chesapeake Beach outside Annapolis.

Any forensics?

Blood, prints, DNA, all over the scene.

Also, multiple sets of footprints.

Lab's on it right now.

Do we have an ID on our fugitive?

No, we've got a -year-old son, Craig,

who goes to college nearby.
He lives at the house.

He's the one who discovered the bodies.

According to him, his father
didn't come home last night,

and he also didn't turn up
for work this morning

at his investment firm.

So what are we thinking?

Husband m*rder*d his wife
and his daughter

- and went on the run?
- Yeah, it's possible.

We were looped in
'cause the SEC received

a phone call yesterday about a
possible investment fraud scheme.

Daniel Osterholm is the prime
suspect in that investigation.

Now he's linked to a double homicide.

So where do we start?

Well, I'm thinking, you deep
dive Osterholm's financials,

Ortiz and I'll head to the crime scene,

follow up with Forensics,

and Jess can cover Daniel's
workplace in Annapolis.

And thank you for taking point.

- No problem.
- Nice work.

I can't believe they're dead.

- Sheriff, you okay?
- Sorry.

It's a small community,
close-knit, you know?

The Osterholms are family.
Jeanine was my wife's cousin.

You're related to the victims.

You know, it might be a good idea

to let one of your deputies take over.

Yeah, you're right.

I'll do that after this.
I'm okay for now.

We have a neighbor who places
Daniel at the home at : p.m.

She was just getting home herself.

About a half an hour later,

she was out walking the dog,
and she saw him leave again.

How you doing, kid?

I'm doing okay, Matt. Thanks.

This is Craig.

He's the one that found
his mom and sister.

I'm sorry for your loss.

Thank you.

If you're up for it,

we need to ask you
a couple of questions.

Yeah, yeah.

- Do you want to have a seat?
- Yeah.

Can you tell us
when you got home last night?

A little after : , I guess.

And I saw my mom right away
when I came through the door.

And then I saw...

I saw Darcy on the kitchen floor.

It was awful.

What about your dad?

When was the last time you saw him?

Not since yesterday morning,
when he left for work.



My dad could've never have done this.

Okay, my dad... my dad would've
never hurt either one of them.

Okay? So...

I don't understand... I don't...

It's all right.

This is a complete disaster.

We're talking a half dozen clients

and more than $ million missing.

I can't believe Dan would do this,

much less hurt his own family. Not now.

Did you know the SEC
was investigating him?

No.

One of his clients complained recently

about discrepancies in her statements,

but Dan said that was
just a misunderstanding.

We also found these in his desk drawer.

Oxycodone. I'm assuming they're his.

Apparently. We had no idea.

It's awfully hard to hide
an opioid addiction.

Did you notice any changes
in his behavior recently?

You've got to understand Dan.

His grandfather founded this firm.

His family basically runs this town.

He works hard, he plays hard,

and everything's just always
water off a duck's back.

He could've been using for years,

and no one would've known.

And even if they did,
who was gonna confront him?

He's an Osterholm. They're untouchable.

And he's stealing from your firm.

My name's on the door,
but make no mistake,

this is his firm.

All the affected portfolios
were accounts he managed,

and now he's disappeared.

Did he mention any problems
he might be having at home?

You mean the kind that would
make him rip off his partners

and k*ll his wife and daughter? No.



You have the... you have
the phone I sent you?

Dan, you just called me on it.

Yeah, I know I did. I know I did.

I just want to make sure.

Are you okay?

No.

No, I'm not okay.

The whole thing's a mess,
and everything's gone.

I'm just... I'm begging you,
you gotta help me, okay?

I am helping. Where are you?

Don't ask me that.

Everybody in this town knows who I am,

and I can't go anywhere.
And now I got nothing.

Everything's gone. It's all gone.

Calm down. It'll be okay.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it will.

Our daddies were... they were friends.

That means something, right?

Sure it does.

I need you...

I need you to help me.

I'm here, just tell me.

- You have your g*n?
- Why?

We're gonna need it.

[PHONE RINGS]

- Hana, what's going on?
- Osterholm's on the run.

We got a text alert.
He bought a one-way ticket

on Lufthansa from
Washington Dulles to Dakar.

- Dakar as in Senegal?
- Yes.

There's no extradition treaty

and no COVID restrictions either.

We need to give TSA a stop order.

Already did.

The flight leaves in minutes.

I've got airport liaison agents
on the case.

They'll meet you at security.

Anything on Osterholm's finances?

Yeah, he's deep in debt.

He recently took out a third mortgage.

I'm not sure
what he needs the money for.

Well, it could be his opioid addiction,

and it could be why he's
embezzling money from his firm.

You find anything on that, by the way?

Sort of.

All the stolen funds were transferred

to a cryptocurrency privacy wallet.

Now, the blockchains
are pretty hard to trace,

so I'm trying a few workarounds.

[PHONE CHIMES]

Hang on, I just got this
from the airport agent.

The flight's fully boarded.

He's not on it. He never checked in.

[BEEPING]

This from Fairfax County
Sheriff's Department.

A car registered to him

was found abandoned
two blocks west of Dulles.

The officers are securing it,
holding the scene for us.

Send me the address. Meet me there.

Jess LaCroix, FBI.
Nobody touched the vehicle?

No.



Jess, we've got blood back here.



You want to punch that trunk for me?

Yeah.



It looks like somebody
got to Daniel before we did.

Looks like there's more to
this puzzle than we thought,

so we're gonna have to dig back in.

- Where are we on forensics?
- Osterholm's fingerprints

and DNA were all over the place.

Looks like he handled
the presumed m*rder w*apon.

Of course, that could be
because he lived there,

or because he used it
to k*ll Jeanine and Darcy.

His DNA is in our system?
Does he have a criminal record?

No, but he did spend a few years

as a reservist in the Coast Guard.

Get this: they did find unknown
prints and DNA at the scene.

Daniel has an accomplice?

Looks like it.

Maybe someone who helped him
in the embezzlement scheme,

someone who decided to cut Daniel

out of the deal at the last moment.

What about Osterholm's car?

Any unknown prints or DNA there?

No, the trunk was clean.

The only DNA in the trunk was Daniel's.

I did find a cell phone in his pocket,

and it made calls over
two days to another number.

Could be the accomplice,
but it's not a lot to go on.

"Not much to go on" is my specialty.

I might not be able to ID
the owner of the second phone,

but the cell towers show
that all the numbers

were pinged to a location
in rural Delaware.

Well, at least that's something.

Where are we on the autopsies?

The Calvert County
medical examiner's office

was backed up, so I made arrangements

to have Jeanine and Darcy
sent to Walter Reed in D.C.

All right, you and Ortiz cover that.

Hana and I'll head to Delaware.

I want to check out this cell tower.

- Roger that.
- Where's my...

- Tea.
- Tea, yeah.

Tali's fine.

I'm the one having trouble adjusting.

Everything's so quiet without her.

I guess what I'm saying is,
this whole empty nest thing

isn't what it's cracked up to be.

You're not alone. You've got Sarah.

True.

My parents loved it when we
all finally moved out of home,

and they were the ones who
adopted us in the first place.

Really? They said they loved it?

Yeah, I mean,
it was a whole new chapter.

They never called themselves
empty nesters.

They always said they were freebirding.

They started going on date nights.

They finally put each other first.

Freebirding, huh?

Hey, we're in the quarter-mile
radius of our target area,

but this is the only road.

We are in the middle of nowhere.

I mean, maybe our guy
was driving out here

to talk to Daniel
on the side of the road,

but it doesn't really make sense.

There's no rhyme or reason
to the timing of the calls.

I mean, some of them were
in the middle of the night.

We should be looking
for some kind of residence.

Okay, I'm in the county
assessor's database.

There's a farmhouse
up here on the right.

It's owned by a Homer Cortland.

Let's check it out.



No real surprise where
cause of death is concerned.

Jeanine d*ed

of blunt force trauma to the head.

Her injuries conformed
to the glass figurine

that was found at the scene.

It was likely the m*rder w*apon.

What about Darcy?

Darcy d*ed of a broken neck

consistent with the height of her fall.

Pretty much what we knew
from the crime scene.

Sorry to disappoint,

but I may be able to help you
with time of death.

We're testing a new method

that was pioneered in the Netherlands.

It's going to become the gold
standard everywhere soon.

That sounds like
the kind of thing that makes

a pathologist's heart skip a b*at.

Guilty.

So what's new about it?

Accuracy, and it's noninvasive.

Using conventional methods,
we either rely on

rectal temperature or inserting
a thermometer into the liver

combined with lividity and rigor mortis.

And did you do that
for Jeanine and Darcy?

I did.

The conventional method yields
a time of death for them both

between : and : p.m.
on the night they were found.

That fits our theory.
We can place Daniel Osterholm

at the crime scene somewhere
between and : .

But I narrowed it down
even more than that.

This new method is accurate
within minutes of time of death.

We use a thermal camera applied

to four different areas of the body.

Based on these readings,

both Jeanine and Darcy d*ed
between : and : p.m.

Well, if that's true,

Daniel didn't k*ll
his wife and daughter.

Thank you for your time.

They were already dead
by the time he got home.

He was shocked by what he found.

Then he fled.

Which would mean the k*ller
wasn't an accomplice.

It's someone
with no connection to Daniel.

It's possible Daniel
was also an intended victim.

Could be why he turned up dead
in the trunk of his car.

k*ller was finishing the job.

If Daniel was a target,
maybe his whole family was.

If Daniel and Craig were the
only family members not home...

we need to get protection on Craig.

Mr. Cortland?

[KNOCKS]

Mr. Cortland?

There's somebody coming up the driveway.



Homer Cortland?

FBI.

We need to talk to you.

I've been trying to get a hold
of Craig Osterholm,

but he's not answering.

Yeah, things changed.

We need to get a protective
detail on him right away.

You know where he's staying?

Laine Osterholm.

Can you do me a favor
and text me the address?

In the meantime, send a couple
unis over to the house.

Make sure everything's okay.

All right, thank you.

Laine Osterholm, relative?

His aunt. Craig moved in with her.

That makes sense.
I wouldn't want to stay

in the house I found
my mom and sister m*rder*d in.

All right, here it is.
It's Pinto Place.

Okay.

[DOORBELL RINGS]

Don't make me hurt you.
I'm here for Craig.

- Get out.
- He knows what I want.

- Where is he?
- [SCREAMS]

Craig Osterholm, you in here?

- Whoa.
- How does it feel, huh?

How does it feel

having your family ripped apart?

Don't sh**t. Don't sh**t. Please don't.

Shut up.

Who are you?

- What?
- Tape her wrists behind her.

- Now!
- Okay, okay.

- Do it.
- It's okay.

It's okay.

Please, please, you can't do this.

And her mouth.

Come on, hurry up.



Easy.



You're coming with me.

Let's go.

I said go!

He had nobody else to turn to.

He begged me to help him.

Yeah, I've always been
there for him, for his family.

- I didn't want to do it.
- But you did.

You helped him k*ll Jeanine and Darcy.

No.

Dan didn't k*ll them. He wouldn't.

So what?
You helped with the embezzlement?

After.

He got into trouble at work.
It was the dr*gs.

They made him do things.

Things like steal millions of dollars.

He never told me how much it was,

but he was real deep in trouble.

He knew people were on to him,
so he made a plan to get away.

We know that he bought
a plane ticket to Dakar.

Yeah, he thought
he could convince Jeanine

to meet him there later.

Then, when he found
Jeanine and Darcy dead...

[SOMBER MUSIC]

Said God was punishing him.



He said his life was over.

You're still not telling me

anything about
how you helped him, Homer.

He told me to get my g*n,
meet him by the airport.

He wanted me to sh**t him.

Why would he need you for that?

He thought Craig could get

insurance money if it wasn't a su1c1de.

He wanted to leave something to his boy.

I told him to get on that plane.

Go to Dakar.



But he wouldn't.

So Homer, you helped him
by murdering him?



He put the g*n to his own chest,

grabbed my hand,

put my finger on the trigger.



g*n went off.

I swear on my daddy's grave,
that's how it happened.

Boss, I need a minute.

Cuff him and put him in the car.

Wait, you're arresting me?

I told you, he made me do it.

Did he make you
put him in the trunk, huh?

Did he make you leave
without calling the cops?

Agent LaCroix, please...

Craig Osterholm was kidnapped

at gunpoint from his aunt's house.

- Did we get an ID?
- Nope.

The aunt didn't recognize the assailant.

She just described him as white male,

- large build, dark hair.
- Damn it.

Well, that's not all.

Homer Cortland's prints
were in the system.

He's had a half a dozen run-ins
with the law over the years,

so they would've popped.

The fingerprints at the crime
scene are definitely not his.

Looks like our unsub
is still in the wind.

Let's go with the theory that

Daniel Osterholm's death was
essentially a su1c1de, right?

That he didn't k*ll Jeanine and Darcy.

Daniel's financial crimes

were ongoing over nearly two years.

The fact they're coming
to light now is a coincidence

and has nothing to do with our fugitive.

Let's focus on our unsub.
The prints from Laine's house

match the prints
from the original crime scene.

So the person who abducted Craig

is the same person
that k*lled Jeanine and Darcy.

But if our unsub wanted to k*ll Craig,

why didn't he just sh**t him
when he found him?

Craig's aunt heard him asking him

what it felt like to see
his entire family torn apart.

That's someone with a grudge.

We need to visit Craig
Osterholm's college friends,

find out who had a problem with him.

- Where have you been?
- Out.

"Out." "Out," that's no answer.

What are you doing?

What do you think I'm doing?
You know what day tomorrow is.

A birthday cake?

Michelle.

- Have you eaten anything today?
- Don't.

You know how much
Brittany loves her birthday.

It would be just like her to
come home on her st birthday.

I've put fresh sheets on the bed.

She's not coming home.

Not today, not tomorrow, not any day.

Why would you say that to me?
Don't you say it.

- We got to face facts.
- There's only one fact:

she's missing. Missing, not dead.

Don't you dare give up hope.

I know how hard this is.

You don't know anything.
You're never here.

I'm sorry.

Till I put my girl in the ground,

I will never, never give up hope.

Where are you going?

I need to clear my head.
I'm taking the boat out.

You're a damn coward,

a pathetic excuse for a father
and a husband.

Help me! [THUDDING]

Shut up.

Help me!



[ENGINE TURNS OVER]

Dude, I don't know anything

about who Craig might
or might not have issues with.

He hasn't been part of
the frat scene for a while now.

Moved off campus and back
into his parent's house.

Craig had a reputation.

For what?

Different things, I guess.

I can't say for sure,
but it probably had

something to do with
the pool he was fishing in.

What do you mean, like women?

He went through girlfriends fast.

Pool kind of shrunk for him.

There might be women on campus

who say that he was controlling,

abusive if he didn't get his way.

He was a chick magnet
when he first got here.

Rich guy, powerful family...

So he started having
trouble getting dates.

His name was on a list,
an unofficial campus list.

Top ten #MeToo offenders.

He got cancelled.

I have a name and a face for our unsub.

Really? How?

Magic. My kind of magic.

I knew there had to be something

with the unidentified DNA.

Even though he's not in the database,

no criminal record, no m*llitary history,

with the DNA, we had to get somewhere.

- So you matched his DNA?
- Well, not quite.

I widened the net
to include all familial matches

with the database, including NAMUS.

- Missing persons.
- Yeah.

Now, families of missing persons

can upload the missing person's DNA,

say, a toothbrush, a coffee cup,

a hairbrush, enough for a DNA sample.

So our unsub is related
to a missing person.

There's . % chance that

he's the father of a missing
girl named Brittany Walsh.

Say hello to our fugitive, Caleb Walsh.



Update from Jess.
Caleb Walsh isn't home.

His wife said he went off
on his own for a few days.

He went crab fishing,
but she doesn't know where.

And does Jess believe her?

Yeah, he said
he thinks she's in the dark.

I mean, she's suffering
pretty major PTSS in relation

to her daughter's disappearance,

to the point of delusion.


She seemed to think that Jess
was there to question her

about the day
of Brittany's disappearance.

She kept going over the
timeline of activities on that day.

Well, if that's what
Caleb Walsh is living with,

then likely, his endgame
goes back to his daughter.

- Brittany Walsh.
- A local kid from Easton.

Easton is a rougher part of town

than Chesapeake Beach,
where the Osterholms live.

Her parents reported her missing

when she didn't show up
for her th birthday,

which is a year ago tomorrow.

And that could be what triggered Walsh.

What was the outcome of that
missing persons investigation?

I mean, that was just it.
The case was open,

but there wasn't much investigating.

Okay, hold on. According to this,

Brittany was dating Craig Osterholm.

The women on campus cancelled Craig,

so he went looking for
someone with less power

on the wrong side of town.

Domestic v*olence is progressive.

It doesn't just pop up out of nowhere.

Well, if their relationship was rocky,

there might be a record of it.

I'll let Jess know.

We responded to several calls
at Brittany Walsh's apartment

- before she went missing.
- Domestic abuse calls?

I don't know. Domestic disturbances?

She was dating Craig Osterholm.

Was he abusing her?

She'd say he was,
then she'd say he wasn't.

Never wanted to press charges.

Well, that's common
with victims of abuse.

When Brittany went missing,
did you question Craig?

We're just a tiny town PD.

I don't have the manpower or resources

to conduct that kind of investigation.

So I turned it over

to Calvert County Sheriff's Office.

Was that Sheriff Lewis?

Yeah. Why?

His wife is Jeanine Osterholm's cousin.

It didn't seem like
a potential conflict to you?

Maybe if I'd known, but I didn't.

I just assumed they'd handle it
like any other case,

like professionals.

We need to know about your investigation

into Brittany Walsh's disappearance.

Walsh. Uh... that was a while back.

I... I'd have to look it up.

It was a year ago.

Pretty sure you remember it,
because her abusive boyfriend

is the son of your wife's cousin.

All right, it's not what you think.

Well, what I think is,
you failed to investigate

the prime suspect in
Brittany Walsh's disappearance

because he's a relative of yours.

All right, now hold on.

All right, it's not like there was much

- of a case to begin with.
- She's still missing.

You know what? Sometimes adults leave.

They just take off.

That doesn't mean there was
anything criminal going on.

Is he really saying that
with a straight face?

Did you know that Craig Osterholm

- was abusing her?
- No.

No charges were ever filed.

Every time she made
a complaint, she withdrew it.

Now, I had no intention of
dragging Craig's good name,

his family's good name, through the mud,

you know, based on some rumors.

Is that what you told Brittany's parents

when they were desperately trying

to find their missing daughter?

You may think you did
the Osterholms a favor.

Think about it this way, Sheriff.

You set in motion the events

that caused the murders
of Jeanine and Darcy.

They were k*lled because Craig Osterholm

had a hand in the disappearance

of a young woman
with no name to speak of.

And law enforcement did nothing
to try to find her.

You did nothing,
and now you live with that.

You'll need to resign,
effective immediately.

I'm reporting you to Internal Affairs

and the FBI's Public Integrity unit.



I tried talking to the Sheriff's Office

when Brittany first went missing,

but they didn't want to
listen to what I had to say.

We're here now. We're listening.

She lived upstairs?

Lived upstairs, worked down here.

Is this where she met Craig Osterholm?

Yeah.

Never really understood why

a college kid with money
was hanging out here.

I warned Britt to be on guard,

but she thought he was
her prince charming.

Was he?

He screamed at her all the time,

so loud I could hear him down
here when the bar was packed.

I called the cops a few times.

They'd go up there,
but nothing ever came of it.

Did she ever leave him?

Threatened to all the time,
but in the end,

he'd sweet-talk her or
take her away for a few days.

And that's what happened at the end.

- They'd had a real blowout.
- Then they went away together.

Craig's family has
a house out on Lake Moffat.

She packed an overnight bag,

and they drove off in Craig's car.

But she never came back.

Thank you.

We need to check out that lake house.

Mm-hmm.

It's real simple, son.

What I need from you is answers.

I don't know anything. I don't.

That's a lie.

It's not.

You know what my wife is doing today?

She's waiting for Brittany
to come home for her birthday.

She really believes that's gonna happen.

Breaks my heart to see her like that.

I don't... I don't wait for her no more.

[CHUCKLES]

I used to, but I don't anymore.

I know she's dead,
and I know you k*lled her.

- I didn't.
- Shut up!

- I swear.
- Shut up!

I know you k*lled her.

And all I want now is to bring her home.

Bring...

Something home for her mother to bury.

It's the only thing that's
gonna give her any peace.

She needs to put Brittany in the ground,

needs a place where she can visit.

So I need you to tell me where she's at.

I swear to you, I didn't hurt her. Okay?

I swear I didn't hurt her.

- [SIGHS]
- I swear.

You're not telling me
what I need to hear.

I am.

I can't tell you
what I don't know, okay?

It's okay.

- What are you doing?
- I'm gonna help you.

- I c... w...
- Okay?

Okay.

What do you want me to say?

I didn't hurt her.

I don't know what you want from me.

I don't know what you want.

Hey, okay, I don't know. Okay, hold on.

Hold on. No, no, no.

[GROANING]

Don't look at your hand.
Don't look at your hand.

Look at me, look at me,
look at me, look at me,

look at me.

Where's my daughter?

[GROANS]

The way I see it,

you still got one thumb
and eight fingers.

So I'm gonna ask you again.

- [GROANS]
- Where's Brittany?

I... I swear to you, I didn't hurt her.

I swear. I swear.

No, no, no, no, no, no, okay, okay.

Okay, I didn't hurt her.
I know where she is.

I can show you. I can show you.

Where is she?

I can show you. Just untie me.

Just please untie me.

Just untie me,
and I'll show you, I promise.

I promise.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]



- [GROANS]
- Is this it?

Yeah, she's in here.



She's in here?

Where?



In there?



[CRIES]

My sweet girl.

[CRIES]



That's Walsh's car.

Hana and Kristin, take the house.

Ortiz and I'll cover the back.



[CRYING]

You did this.

No, no, I... no, I didn't.

Stop lying to me.



Tell me what you did. How did she die?



Hmm?

It was an accident.

Stop lying.

[SCREAMS]

[SCREAMS]

[GROANING]

[SCREAMS]

Caleb Walsh.

FBI! Put the g*n down.

What are you doing here?

We're here because of Brittany.

You're too late.

Just like all the rest of them.

He k*lled her and shoved
her body in that freezer.

He didn't even hide her.

My Brittany's been in
that freezer all this time,

dead, and nobody helped bring her home.

I know it, and I'm sorry.

She deserved better.

You think I don't know that?

You think I didn't try
to get justice for her?

- I know you did.
- The Osterholm name

meant more than my daughter's life.

[GROANING] Oh, God.

I know.

And it's not right.

But Brittany
wouldn't want you doing this.

- How do you know?
- Because I have a daughter.

And I worry about her all the time.

All the time.

I know what you went through.

It's like...

It's like living in hell.



But Caleb, this isn't the way.



What happened at the house...

I didn't mean for it to happen.

I only wanted to take Darcy
with me for leverage,

take their daughter like mine was taken,

and then give her back

when they told me where Brittany was.

But then,

nothing worked out right.

I understand.

I only wanted to know
what happened to Brittany.

Her mother needs to know.

And now you know.



Let us take him into custody.

He'll go to prison for
what he did, I promise you.

Isn't that worse than k*lling him?



Caleb, give me the g*n.

Let it go.

Hands behind your back.

Let's go.



[GROANS]



Hey.

- You okay?
- Yeah.

We got them all, Jess.

Caleb Walsh, Craig Osterholm,
Sheriff Lewis.

He just handed in his g*n and badge.

All of this because of one family.

The power, the privilege,

the entitlement.

It's a funny thing, isn't it?

It definitely seems unfair.

Did make me realize something.

What?

I have a lot to be grateful for.

Maybe you should do something about it.

- Hey.
- Hiya.

Glad you made it home.

I didn't think
I'd get to see you tonight.

I missed you too.

- What's in the bag, hon?
- Something for you.

- For me?
- It's a dress.

Well, it's not a dress, it's the dress.

It's the one you were looking
at when we went shopping

with Tali before she went to school.

Jess.

I was just looking at that.

What is... what is this about?

It's about us. It's about you and me.

Mm-hmm. What does that mean?

It means, instead of concentrating

- on being an empty nester...
- Mm-hmm.

I thought maybe we should start trying,

you know, freebirding.

- You want to freebird?
- Yeah.

I don't know what that means,

but I think I like the sound of it.

- Well, freebirding...
- Uh-huh.

[LAUGHTER]

It occurred to me that I... [LAUGHS]

I never got the opportunity
to court you, so...

Ah, you want to court me?

Yeah, sweep you off your feet.
Romance you.

- It's fine.
- No, no, no, no, no.

We have time now, and I want to.

I want to sweep you off your feet.

What do you think about putting
this dress on right now

and joining me for a night in Manhattan?

[LAUGHS]

[SOFT PIANO MUSIC]



- Hmm?
- Hmm?

This is amazing.

It's not too bad, right?

It's not bad at all.



Hey, what'd you mean when you said

you wanted to sweep me off my feet?



Just this.

Lots more of this.



Okay.
