(EXCLAIMS IN KOREAN)
Well done.
You are improving.
Or I've regressed.
Well, I don't know about that.
You nearly got me with that flèche.
(SIGHS) Well,
I'm off to ice all these bruises
you dealt me.
Same time next week?
HIGGINS: Yeah,
I look forward to it, Kim.
Magnum.
Hey, Kim. How are you?
Looking good, man.
Looking good.
- Magnum, what are you doing here?
- Uh, it's-it's a funny story.
I actually saw "fencing"
on the calendar,
and I figured that,
you know, given my role as
head of security, I should
probably show up, right?
Right. Wrong sort of fencing.
And, uh, either way,
you're minutes late.
Also, I'm just kidding,
but I was very happy
I saw that whole exchange,
I mean... it's pretty impressive.
Although, you know, fencing,
I hear, is one of the easier sports
to get into in the Olympics.
Something about it
not requiring much skill.
I know what you're doing, Magnum.
You're trying to bait me
into challenging you to a bout.
It won't work.
No, w-why would I do that?
I mean, you're obviously
a skilled fencer.
I wouldn't stand a chance against you.
Although, I mean, yeah.
I guess we'll never really know.
- Will we?
- Okay.
All right.
First to ten points.
Okay. But what's the point?
Every time I stick you with the tip
of my foil, it's a point.
But I wouldn't worry.
It's not gonna take long. En garde.
I stand corrected. Did I tell you
I had extensive edged weapons
training in the service?
Although the swords weren't
really bendy like this.

I did not touch you.
I would never touch you.
Why? Is it not a dream?
- Touché.

Okay, uh...
We're gonna have to call this a draw,
because my old friend is calling me

Well, that's convenient.
No. We actually have to go together.
If he wants to see me this badly,
it probably means there's

- So...
What do you think?
Well, I think that if I wanted
to be in the business
of appraising instruments,
I would've opened a pawn shop.
A ' Kamaka, in that condition,
is easily worth three grand.
Throw in the cash I brought,
and that's just enough
to cover the collateral
on the bond.
All right, I'll post bond
and make sure he's released
by the end of the day. Thanks, Melvin.
You're a lifesaver.
Oh, there he is.
Best P.I. on the island.
Or the best P.I.
that would take your call
on a short notice, huh?
Good to see you. You, too.
Uh, Higgins, this is...
The one and only Melvin Machado.
It's pleasure to make your acquaintance.
- You, too.
- Yeah.
Melvin threw a lot of work my way
early on when I was
trying to get started.
If it wasn't for those
early skip tracing jobs,
I probably would not have
been able to stay afloat.
Well, I'm glad you remember that,
'cause I was actually hoping
you could return the favor.
Of course. What do you need?
One of my clients missed her court date.
If I don't produce her in
the next hours,
I'm out the entire K bond.
Two-fifty? Ouch.
HIGGINS: Don't you
usually have five days
to return a skip
before the bail is forfeited?
All right, I'm gonna be honest with you.
I had someone else
on the job originally,
but the guy went AWOL on me
after asking for a cash advance.
Who is it? Jimmy Wu.
Okay, Jimmy Wu. He's good
at getting his guy.
Although he does have
his share of vices.
He's probably already blown that advance
betting on college hoops
and is sleeping off
a hangover somewhere.
MELVIN: Yeah.
In retrospect,
agreeing to that cash advance
was probably not my best decision.
Neither was posting bond, for this skip.
But she seemed like a safe bet.
You know, ties to the island,
low flight risk.
Stella Torres.
And what's she out on bail for?
About six months back,
she gets pulled over
for speeding.
The cops find an unlicensed g*n,
a bunch of cash.
And just to make matters worse,
she resists arrest.
Even still, $ , is
the kind of bail they set for...
serious felonies like m*rder.
Do you have any idea
why it was set so high?
Couldn't tell you.
What I do know is I can't afford to eat
a quarter-million-dollar loss.
If you don't bring Ms. Torres
back by the end of the day,
I could lose my business.
Well, obviously,
we can't make any guarantees,
but we will do everything we can
to get your skip back.
That's a promise.
Thanks, kid.
Okay.
You got all your textbooks, right?
Yeah. If they weighed any more,
they might dislocate my shoulder.
Okay, what about everything else?
Pencils and pens?
- Yep.
- Okay.
Uh, notebooks and binders?
- Check and check.
- Okay.
You got a "snickity snack" for recess?
(SCOFFS) It's high school, dude.
I'm pretty sure there's no recess.
(GROANS) Right.
What am I thinking? Uh...
What's that for?
Well, you're too good for my
honey-glazed turkey and Swiss,
so I'm guessing you're gonna have
to grab something from the cafeteria.
I can't take your money.
Not after everything
you've already done for me.
Look, if this whole foster thing is
gonna work,
then you gonna have to get comfortable
with me looking out for you.
With that said,
I'm only springing for lunch
'cause it's your first day.
Tomorrow, it's peanut butter and jelly.
(LAUGHS SOFTLY) All right.
Thanks.
I really do appreciate it.
You know, it's totally normal
to be a little nervous.
But if you've been
fending for yourself
out here in the streets,
then high school should be a breeze.
Look, just be yourself
and people will see
what a solid dude you are.
Do you even remember
what high school was like?
Must have been, like,
years ago?
(LAUGHS): Oh.
All right, I'm off. Give me my back.
Uh, no, no, no. Hold on, hold on.
I got to take a photo first.
All right.
You can't be serious.
Oh, I'm dead serious.
Hold it up.
Ah. (LAUGHS)
Hold on. (CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING)
Ah. Yeah, yeah.
Ow!
Okay, enough with the pictures now?
Hey.
Heard you're starting
classes at McKinley today.
My son Dennis is a senior.
Said he'd catch up with you today
- and show you the ropes.
- TC: See?
There's one person you know already.
(LAUGHS SOFTLY) Thanks, Mr. Katsumoto.
I'll see you, TC.
(LAUGHS SOFTLY)
- "Mr. Katsumoto," huh?
- Hey, I wish I could say
I taught the kid his manners,
but he came that way.
Well, I'm glad to see things
are working out.
Well, that's all thanks to your advice.
Look, I know I didn't
appreciate it at the time,
but you clearly had everyone's
best interests in mind
when you pushed me to
help Cade the right way.
And that's actually why I'm here.
Got a phone call from
Social Services yesterday.
Before the agency can
approve your application,
they need to be sure that
a reasonable effort's been made
to locate and notify
Cade's mother Monica Jensen.
Just wanted to let you
know that I'm gonna be
spending the day
trying to track the woman down.
Okay. Thanks for the heads-up.
Of course.
Hey, Gordie.
H-Hold up.
Look, if Cade's mother's out there...
...I want to help you find her.
You sure about that?
Yeah.
So where do we start?
Synced & corrected by -robtor-
www.addic ed.com
HIGGINS: So I ran our skip's cell.
It seems there is one number
that she called rather frequently,
but it's unlisted.
- Give it a call.
- Yeah.
WAYNE (OVER PHONE): You've
reached Sergeant Wayne Nix
with HPD's Narcotics and Vice Division.
Please leave a message.
Why would Stella be in regular contact
with an HPD Narcotics officer?
There's only one way to find out.
- Hello.
- Hi.
Hi. My name is Thomas Magnum
and this is my partner Juliet Higgins.
We're private investigators,
and we'd love to have a word
with Sergeant Nix if possible.
Mm. He's still asleep.
Is there something
that I can help you with?
It's okay, hon. I'm up.
Come on in.
Can I get you all some coffee?
Think we're good, thank you.
Thank you, though.
(EXHALES): Hey.
Sorry I'm not more presentable.
Was up late working a drug raid.
(CLEARS THROAT)
So, how can I help you guys?
We've been hired to track down
a skip named Stella Torres.
Prior to her arrest, she seemed
to have a lot of contact with you.
That's true. She did.
MAGNUM: Mind if we ask why?
Well, that arrest wasn't Stella's first.
A couple years back we busted
her for possession with, uh,
intent to distribute.
She was looking at five years mandatory.
And that was all the leverage we needed
to get her to work for us.
Mm. Okay, so she was
- a criminal informant?
- Yeah.
She was good at it, too.
But it's usually just a matter
of time before a C.I. slips up
and reverts to their old ways.
Stella was pulled over
with an unlicensed g*n, K in cash.
The kind of money you
use for a drug buy.
I could've gotten her off if she hadn't
assaulted the arresting officer.
Ah.
We knew that she had resisted arrest,
but assaulting a cop would explain
her high bail amount.
Stella's meltdown
landed her in lockdown,
and before I even had
a chance to check on her,
she had posted and disappeared.
So you're not surprised
she skipped her court date.
The surprise would've been
if she actually showed.
Especially since she split
for the mainland months ago.
What makes you think that?
It appears as though
Stella left the island
shortly after her arrest,
and has been bouncing around
the country ever since.
As of three days ago,
she was in Atlanta.
MAGNUM: Well, hold on.
Go back to that picture right there.
Uh, right there,
that's the River Walk in San Antonio.
You notice how this grass
is covered in pollen?
Okay, so?
Well, anybody's who's spent time
in San Antonio knows
that that pollen comes
from mountain cedar trees.
In the fall.
HIGGINS: And the photo
was posted in August.
According to the metadata,
the photo was taken
in .
I-I bet if you looked at all
her pictures, they all predate
her arrest.
So Stella is trying to make it look
as if she's on the mainland
when, in actuality,
she never left the island.
I mean, it makes sense.
Once you're on bail,
you can't leave the island.
What is it?
Stella started posting
these travel photos months ago, right?
The fact that this ruse
started just after
she posted bail makes me think
that it's not just
law enforcement she's trying to mislead.
We got to do a deep dive on Stella,
see if we can figure out
where she's staying.
I'll hack into utilities,
see if there are
any bills in her name.
Look at that.
She's been paying an electricity bill
at a house in Nanakuli.
Magnum, over here.
Well, that's a lot of blood.
(g*nf*re)
He's down.
His pulse is dangerously low.
(PHONE BEEPING)
No signal.
That must be why
he couldn't call for help.
Let's see if I can find some I.D.
Don't worry about it. I know him.
That's Jimmy Wu.
The bounty hunter that
Melvin sent after Stella?
So he didn't go AWOL
with Melvin's money, then.
No, I think he found Stella
and she tried to k*ll him.
I'm gonna go outside,
see if I can find a signal and call EMS.
Okay.
(SIREN WAILING)
(SIGHS)
Hey, Lia.
- Thomas, what are you doing here?
- Working a case.
Looking for a skip named Stella Torres
and instead found a bounty hunter sh*t
and left for dead.
It's sad.
Well, it looks like your
skip tracing job just became
my attempted m*rder case.
And your skip is our prime suspect.
Well, I guess we're gonna have
to work together on this one.
It worked out pretty well last time.
Let's not get
too far ahead of ourselves?
Of course.
Hey, where's Higgins?
Bit of an odd time to be
looking for a snack.
LIA: I take it you've already
been through the house.
What'd you find?
Well, there's no food
in the refrigerator
and the cupboards are empty as well.
I guess our girl isn't one
for dining at home.
Maybe, or maybe she hasn't
been here in some time.
It takes months for that much
sediment to build up in pipes.
Okay, so if Stella
wasn't here, who sh*t the bounty hunter?
Well, Stella was arrested
with K in cash
and an unlicensed g*n.
According to the officer she
was working for as a C.I.,
he seems to think that
money was for a drug deal.
In which case,
Stella could be on the run
from whoever that money belonged to.
MAGNUM: Could be that
person came looking for her here
and crossed paths
with the bounty hunter.
The cop you spoke to, what's his name?
Uh, Sergeant Nix.
He's with Narcotics.
Okay, I'll check in with him.
See if he has any idea who
Stella was moving dr*gs for.
You find this girl, you let me know.
Right away.
Of course.
Is it just me, or was Lia
acting cold back there?
Perhaps.
I don't get it. We both decided
it was best to end things.
Yes, but I suspect she still has
some residual feelings.
You know, seeing you
triggers an emotional response,
reminding her of what you guys had.
Just give her some time, she'll
sort through her feelings,
and you guys will be fine.
Now enough of your relationship
or the lack thereof.
Look at what I found in
Stella's bathroom cabinet.
MAGNUM: Digoxin tablets.
- Heart medicine, right?
- Yeah, for arrhythmia.
But they have to be
taken every single day.
And this prescription
expired months ago.
So if we find out where
she refilled her prescription,
maybe we find Stella.
You know, if we find Monica,
I'd like to ask her how she could just
abandon her kid like that.
Well, it's hard to know what
the woman was going through.
(EXHALES) Yeah, I guess so.
Hey, listen.
I get why you came along.
If I was in your situation,
I would want to be here, too.
But if we find Monica, you got
to keep your emotions in check.
Hey.
Okay, what kind of car
are we looking for again?
According to DMV records,
she owned a Toyota Camry.
And why do we think it's here?
Registration expired four years
ago, and there's no record
of a change in ownership.
That's it?
Her VIN's the only lead
we got right now, okay?
Okay, gumshoe. (LAUGHS)
CLERK: Here we go.
Your Camry was reported
abandoned on Kalaloa
near Pearl Harbor on January , .
That's the same day
Monica split on Cade.
And that part of town's known
as a high drug trafficking area.
Any chance the car's still here?
I'm afraid not. No one ever claimed it.
And it was in such poor condition,
it was scrapped instead
of being sold at auction.
TC: So...
that's it? Dead end?
Maybe not. Standard procedure
is to photograph
the contents of the car
before it's scrapped.
You got anything in the file?
(HORN HONKS IN DISTANCE)
I got to get back out there.
- Take your time.
- Thank you.
Thanks.
KATSUMOTO: Glass pipe, burnt foil paper.
I can't believe he was living like that.
He never told me about it.
When I first found out
my sister was using,
I didn't say a word to anyone.
Told myself I was
respecting her privacy,
but really, I was just ashamed.
(MOUSE CLICKING)
You see that?
That looks like the stub
for a welfare check.
Made out to an Ike Tonyan.
Could be someone Monica
used to score with.
(TABLET BEEPING)
Okay, looks like Stella's been
holing up in a cabin
on the Ewa Forest Reserve.
(PHONE RINGING)
Hey, Lia. You're on with me and Higgins.
- Any news?
- Afraid so.
I just got a call from the EMTs.
Jimmy Wu d*ed en route to the hospital.
MELVIN: Here I am going around
bad-mouthing the guy
like he ripped me off.
The whole time he's bleeding
out somewhere
on a job I sent him on.
HPD is doing everything that they can
to apprehend Jimmy's k*ller.
And, look, we may have
a lead on Stella's location,
so with any luck, we'll
have her in custody soon.
(PHONE CHIMES)
What is it?
I just got a text from Jimmy.
He must have texted you
after he was sh*t.
And then HPD powered up the phone,
and it finally got some signal
and the message came through.
"QGR ."
That's a plate.
The only reason Jimmy would have
to text Melvin that number
is if it was a lead on whoever sh*t him.
Yeah, I mean, he must have
spotted somebody tailing him
and wrote down the plate.
Yeah.
Okay, that license plate
is registered to...
...Wayne Nix.
Why would Sergeant Nix
be tailing the bounty hunter
that was looking for his former C.I.?
I don't know, but Sergeant Nix obviously
wasn't being entirely honest with us.
We have to fill in Lia.
Actually, I think we've got
to do more than that.
I mean, Lia's already
on shaky ground,
and now she's got to investigate
a fellow officer?
We have to make sure she
has somebody that she can trust.
Good point.
We also have to find Stella fast
or Melvin's gonna forfeit
his entire bail bond.
Plus, I suspect Stella
might be in danger.
Well, it's a good thing
there's two of us.
LIA: I think I know why you're here.
I powered up Jimmy Wu's
phone and saw the text
he sent the bail bondsman.
Sergeant Nix is involved in
this, I just don't know how.
Here's what we do know.
Nix either wanted to keep Wu
from finding Stella or he
was looking for her himself.
Those are the only reasons
he would have for tailing Wu.
Yeah, except now I got to find
out why he wants the girl,
and that means going up
against a cop who outranks me.
I know your reputation has
taken a hit as of late.
No, it's not just that.
Narcotics and Homicide work
together all the time,
so I don't even know which
detectives I can trust on this.
Okay, well, now this
is our problem, all right?
Thomas and I have both agreed
that one of us should
help you look into Nix
and get to the bottom of this.
And you drew the short straw?
I...
Relax.
It's no secret things
are kind of awkward
between me and Thomas right now.
Lia, for what it's worth,
this was Thomas's idea.
And the only reason
that he isn't here, too,
is because we have a lead
on Stella's location.
Wait, the last person who went looking
for Stella got himself k*lled.
Thomas can't go there alone.
He's not.
Look at you,
all dressed for the occasion.
Nice vest, by the way.
Oh, this old thing?
Also, thanks for parking
away from the house.
Well, it's not my first rodeo.
Wouldn't do us any good if the
skip saw us coming, would it?
- (ZIPPER OPENS)
- (DOORKNOB RATTLES)
(WATER RUNNING)
Hands where I can see them.
My name is Thomas Magnum,
I'm a private investigator.
I'm here to take you in
on an outstanding warrant
for failure to appear in court.
Please. If Wayne put you up to this,
you can't let him know
that you found me.
Look, no one's gonna hurt you, okay?
It's not me that I'm worried about.
When I first met Wayne,
I thought he was my saving grace.
I'd just been arrested on a drug charge,
and with my priors,
I was looking at serious time.
Taking the deal he offered
seemed like the smart move.
Now I know it was the worst mistake
I've ever made in my life.
What happened?
He'd put me in dangerous
situations and then use
the intel I gave him
to rip off drug dealers.
Yeah, he runs the HPD drug task force,
and if he's shady, it's safe to assume
half the guys
that work for him are, too.
Wayne's untouchable.
And he made sure that I knew it, too.
I was terrified of him.
So when he started making
advances towards me,
I just... went along with it.
I'm sorry, Stella.
When I couldn't see a way out, I just...
I started looking
for a different kind of escape.
Almost started using again.
But then...
...he happened.
And suddenly, your life isn't
the only one you're fighting for.
He was the wake-up call that I needed.
I started making plans to leave,
but then Wayne found out about the baby.
The cops he had
trailing me must have seen me
visit the obstetrician.
Wait, he had guys following you?
All the time.
When Wayne confronted
me about the pregnancy,
I just grabbed some cash
and a g*n and I ran.
But before I could get far,
a squad car pulled me over.
So the arresting officers
worked for Nix.
That's why you put up a fight.
Only, I didn't touch them.
They made up the as*ault
charge to jack up my bail.
It was Wayne sending me a message.
So, I posted bond
and I've been hiding ever since,
praying that Wayne wouldn't find me.
He got his C.I. pregnant?
Yeah, a C.I. he's been desperately
trying to track down.
HIGGINS: Well, it's safe to say
that he does not want Stella
to have this baby.
I mean, it's easy for Nix
to deny the claims
of a convicted felon,
but it is awfully hard
to rebut a paternity test.
Yeah, exactly. If she gives birth,
I.A.'s gonna be all over Nix.
And all the shady stuff
he's done in the past
is gonna come to light.
Well, it's a good thing
you and Rick got to her first.
Well, you know, obviously
she's not very trusting
of law enforcement
at the moment, so, uh, to keep her safe,
Rick and I are gonna
take her back to Robin's Nest
until Nix is in custody.
And in the meantime, Lia and I
are gonna head back to Nix's house.
All right, well, stay safe, both of you,
and, uh, we'll be in touch.
LIA: Yeah, we will.
I think maybe it's possible
I may have been a little cold
- toward Thomas.
- Oh?
I have, haven't I?
I mean, things may not have
worked out between us but...
(EXHALES)
He's still a good guy.
He is.
I mean, he can be completely
maddening to work with, but...
at the end of the day, there is nothing
he wouldn't do for his friends.
And, Lia, he does
consider you one of those.
(LAUGHS SOFTLY)
I guess I just need more time.
It's still kind of raw, you know?
Yeah, I mean, as it should be.
It hurts because,
you know, what you guys had
really meant something.
And as far as I'm concerned,
those are the only relationships
worth pursuing.
If I hadn't said this before,
I'm really grateful
for your help on this case.
You haven't, but you are welcome.
(LAUGHS SOFTLY)
(KNOCKS ON DOOR)
- (DOOR OPENS)
- KATSUMOTO: Ike Tonyan?
You have a minute?
Uh, yeah, sure.
Um, my N.A. group starts
in about five, though, so...
No, this won't take long.
We just want to know, when's the
last time you saw Monica Jensen?
Hey, you okay?
Sorry, uh...
that was a lifetime ago.
Um...
I was a different person.
You mean, an addict?
Oh, well, I'm still an addict.
I'm just a recovering one now.
Um, I've been clean over three years.
I take it you and Monica
used to get high together?
Well, yeah, but it was... it...
it was more than that.
Sh-She was a friend.
W-We tried to look out for each other.
O-One day we, uh...
...we scored some dope
and...
we went to an abandoned
building to sh**t up.
And when the sun went down,
it-it got cold
and so we made this little fire
so that we could stay warm.
Then we...
we sh*t up again and...
...we fell asleep.
Next thing I remember, I'm waking up
and I'm choking on smoke.
And the entire place is on fire.
(CRYING)
I-I tried to wake her up,
but she-she wouldn't move.
For years... years...
I told myself that...
that she was already dead,
that there was...
there was nothing
that I could do, but...
That was just...
that was just me making excuses.
The truth is that I-I...
I panicked.
And I ran.
KATSUMOTO: I'm guessing
you didn't report what happened.
Which explains why the body
was never identified.
That woman had a son.
Cade.
She used to talk about him
all the time. She...
She said she was gonna
get clean for him.
She didn't get a chance.
No.
But I did.
Monica is the reason
that I work with addicts today.
KATSUMOTO: I'm gonna need
you to come down to the station
and give a statement.
All right.
RICK: We're good. Let's go.
(SIREN WHOOPS)
What's happening?
Stella Torres?
You're under arrest for
the m*rder of Jimmy Wu.
Now, h-hold on.
I just got off the phone
with Detective Kaleo.
She's the lead on this case, all right?
She didn't say anything
about sending a squad car.
Then take it up with her.
I have my orders.
(g*n CLICKS)
Get your hands off her.
The hell do you think you're
doing? I remember you.
You were at the crime scene, right?
Now, the question is,
did you tail me out here
or did you track my cell phone?
Rick.
Go ahead.
Put the bracelets on.
You're making a huge mistake.
If I am, I'm looking at
some serious jail time,
but if I'm not, it means
you're freelancing with Nix.
I'm gonna call Detective Kaleo
right now and I'm gonna find out
if you're supposed to be out here.
(WHISPERS):
I hope you're right about this.
(PHONE BEEPS)
There's no signal.
Me neither.
MAGNUM: I think somebody's jamming it.
(VEHICLE APPROACHING)
You really thought I came alone?
Come on. Go, go, go, go, go.
(GRUNTS)
You all right?
STELLA: I don't know, I'm...
Something hurts.
Uh, probably Braxton Hicks contractions.
Uh, false labor usually
brought on by stress.
Uh, father-to-be. I know what to expect
- when you're expecting.
- MAGNUM: Still no signal.
We got to find somewhere we can
hole up and make a phone call.
A-Are there any other houses
around here?
Um, there's one over that ridge.
Think you can make it?
- Yeah. Mm-hmm.
- Yeah? Okay.
HEATHER: I'm sorry
I can't be more helpful,
but like I said,
the last time I saw Wayne
was when you were here this morning.
What's this about, anyway?
Your husband was having
a sexual relationship
with one of his C.I.s.
He got her pregnant,
and we believe he sh*t and k*lled a man
to prevent his secret from coming out.
Mrs. Nix, we've just informed you
that your husband has
fathered a child with a C.I.,
and-and you have...
no reaction?
(LAUGHS SOFTLY)
I'm sorry.
What did you do?
- Stay with her.
- No...
No. He's not here.
I swear. D...
(KNOCKS ON DOOR)
Juliet.
Over here.
I swear I didn't know.
He just said that he had a C.I.
who wanted to give up her baby,
but that it was complicated
and I couldn't ask questions.
And that didn't raise
any alarm bells for you?
I don't blame Wayne for what he did.
After I found out I
couldn't get pregnant,
I started to push him away.
Oh, this is my fault.
Lady, that is all kinds of crazy.
You're gonna tell us
where your husband is
and you're gonna tell us now.
I really don't know.
But after you two left this morning,
he told me there was something urgent
that he needed to take care of
and that I wouldn't be
able to reach him.
He must be going after Stella.
I've got to let Magnum know.
(EXHALES) Straight to voice mail.
We got to get this door open.
Can I help you?
God, I hope so.
Just breathe.
Okay? Just breathe.
Stay calm.
Here you go.
(PHONE RINGING)
Hello?
MAGNUM: Higgins, it's me.
Magnum, we've been trying
to contact you.
Where are you?
Yeah, Nix and his guys showed up.
We had to bail on foot.
Uh, we're at a neighbor's house,
one klick east of Stella's cabin.
LIA: HPD and SWAT are already en route.
We'll redirect them to your .
HIGGINS: Magnum,
there's something else you need to know.
Lia and I paid a visit to Nix's wife.
He doesn't just want Stella
out of the way.
He actually wants her baby.
He and his wife
plan to raise it themselves.
Wha... What?
No. W-We're not gonna let that happen.
LIA: Just hang tight.
We'll make sure to...
(WHIRRING)
Phone d*ed.

Nix and his men are outside.
Must have cut the power.
(GRUNTS)
Okay. I know this looks grim,
but we just got to hold them off
until HPD gets here.
(STELLA GRUNTS)
I think my water just broke.
RICK: Maybe I was wrong
about the whole
false labor thing before.
It's gonna be okay, it's gonna be okay.
- You'll be all right.
- I can't.
- I can't. You're gonna be okay.
- Listen, gravity's
not our friend right now.
Okay, I need you on your back.
I just need you to lay on your back.
Gonna need a pillow to prop
her head up and any fresh towels
that you have, please.
Yeah, sure.
I can't. Not here.
- I can't have my baby like this.
- RICK: You're gonna be fine,
you're gonna be fine, okay?
Just breathe for me, all right?
Hold your stomach,
I need you to inhale on four.
I'll count. Okay, you ready?
And one, two,
three, four.
Now exhale for six.
Three, four.
(EXHALES)
You need anything else?
RICK: Good.
Yeah.
Now that you ask, you have any weapons?
What kind of weapons?
Eh, the kind that sh**t b*ll*ts,
preferably a lot of them, quickly.
Sorry, all I got's a compound bow
that I use to hunt boar.
Compound bow, huh?
Remember, I need the girl alive,
so hold your fire around her.
Everybody else goes
in the ground. Go, go.
(GRUNTS)
Take cover!
RICK: Don't worry about that.
Just focus on me, okay? Breathe.
Breathe, okay?
(g*nf*re)
Get the girl!
Now, this baby doesn't look
like he wants
to wait. You ready to push?
You're doing great.
I'm right here with you.
- You're doing great.
- (g*n CLICKS)
Okay, you're doing great,
you're doing great.
Just keep breathing, okay?
Keep breathing. That's it.
You're doing great.
I'm right here with you.
Breathe in, one,
two,
three.
Good. You're doing good.
Keep breathing.
(CHUCKLES) Sorry about that.
Okay, now
push.

Hi.
♪ ♪
HIGGINS: That's great.
Thanks for letting me know.
Good news. Given the situation,
the prosecuting attorney is dismissing
all charges against Stella.
Amazing.
And the P.A. is also asking the FBI
to open an investigation
on the narcotics task force.
Or whatever's left of it.
So if there are any remaining
bad apples,
they're gonna be sure to root them out.
Hmm.
I... we got Melvin his bond back,
we helped deliver a baby,
we took down a-a bunch of crooked cops.
I mean, I say that we've earned
at least one more round.
Oh, not for me. I, actually,
am going out for a drink.
Oh, where? I mean, maybe I'll join.
Uh...
maybe not this time?
I'm actually meeting up with Lia.
After the day she's had,
she said she could use a drink,
so...
After the day she had?
Mm. My day was not
exactly a walk in the park.
I know, Thomas,
but she invited me out for a drink.
Was I supposed to say no?
No, no, of course not.
You know, I actually think
a girls' night out is-is good.
For both of you.
I think, yeah,
given some time, she'll come around.
And she could probably use
a friend right now.
Well, that's very mature of you.
Mm. Well, I am actually
quite mature for my age.
If I do say so myself.
(CHUCKLES) I'm just saying, you know,
I am totally okay
spending the night out here by myself,
drinking an entire bottle of wine.
- No big deal.
- Good.
Well, thank you for your
understanding, Thomas.
Well, get-get going.
You're eating into my me time.
Okay, well, enjoy your peace and quiet.
(CHUCKLES): Okay.
(SIGHS)
You know, this morning, when you said
you were gonna look for Cade's mom,
all I could think about
was how it might affect me.
I was afraid you might
actually find her.
Then this great kid that I
got used to having around...
...he wouldn't be in my life anymore.
And now I got to tell
this kid that his mom's...
dead.
For four years,
this kid woke up every day
thinking his mother abandoned him.
Now he'll know she didn't.
(DOOR OPENS)
Hey. You were right.
About school, I mean.
So it was good?
Yeah. Yeah, it was,
uh, it was pretty cool.
Even being the new kid was all right.
Everyone was nice.
Oh, oh, and the basketball coach
said I could try out even though it's...
the middle of the season.
That's great, man.
That's really great.
Your face doesn't seem to think so.
What's wrong?
I got some news today.
I got some news about your mom.
What?
Look, man, she, um...
She...
No. No. No. No.
