ROBYN: Delilah,

I want you to meet two
of the best people I know.

Harry and this is...

- Oh!
- ...Mel.

Robyn, I need to know

that you're not putting
my daughter at risk.

(g*nf*re)

DELILAH: No!

You have kids?

(CHUCKLES)

Nice try.

Delilah Fulton? I'm Detective Dante.

Does the name "Mason Quinn"
mean anything to you?

ROBYN: No, no, no, no, no, no!

People that tangle
with Quinn end up dead.

Bishop.

I will always win.

I'm gonna catch you again.

And this time, I'm gonna k*ll you.

Omar Delgado.

Former Cuban intelligence

turned freelance militant.

- Robyn...
- If we find Delgado,

he'll lead us right back to Quinn.

(GROANS)

Who are you?

Carter Griffin. CIA.

From Cuban intelligence.

Delgado's contacts in the U.S.

And, Carter,

Quinn cannot see me coming.

What's coming?

(expl*si*n)

(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)

Told you they'd find me.

And that's how you gain their trust.

Our models show the radiation cloud

Dee.

Dee, did you see the plate?

Uh... no, no, no. I'm sorry.

Oh, uh, it had one of those, um,

bar things on the... on the grille.

A brush guard?

Delilah?

I've got it.

Detective Dante.

(EXHALES) I heard about the abduction.

I didn't realize... Are you okay?

No. No, I'm-I'm not.

(STAMMERS) Some men, they...

I mean, they took my mom.

Don't worry. We're gonna find her.

I'm Detective Dante.
We met at the precinct...

Yes, after Jason's sh**ting. I remember.

Do you guys have a photo we can
use to help find your mom?

Is there a problem?

It's okay.

We have to.

DANTE: Wait. You got to be kidding me.

Okay.

Can you describe Robyn's assailant?

Um, white male.

Uh, about six feet.

Um, dark hair, cut short.

- (LINE RINGING)
- He was wearing a...

a light brown jacket,

dark pants, I think, and...

What? Delilah.

Delilah, slow down.

Oh, my God.

HARRY: Nothing on the street cams.

Whoever did this must've
known to hit Rob in a blind spot.

Not "whoever."

Mason Quinn.

After what McCall told us about Delgado

and Quinn's plan for the
dirty b*mb, this has to be him.

HARRY: Quinn must've found out
that Robyn was trying to stop him.

- Yeah.
- Yeah, what I don't understand is,

why take her instead of
just taking her out?

This is why I didn't want
her going after Quinn.

He warned her.
I knew that this would happen.

All right, look, there's nothing here.

We got to try something else.

What about Delgado's lists of contacts

that McCall stole
from the Cuban embassy?

Maybe someone there knows the plan.

All right. It's worth a try.

It's gonna take a while. (SIGHS)

God, this is such a nightmare.

Oh, poor Delilah.

How did she sound?

Terrified.

As she should be.

The worst part is
there's nothing she can do.

She did do something. She called us.

And we're not gonna let her down.

I didn't think I'd make it back from.

I was convinced my life was over.

that thing in Gatling County?

Point is, I had to stay positive.

Especially in the darkest moments.

And you know who helped me do that?

Your mom.

It's gonna be okay.

We have to believe that.

Besides, I know your mom.

Frankly, I'm more worried

I don't know how many
you have on your team,

I'm gonna hit the streets,

It's a needle in a haystack,

but it's the best lead we've got.

Okay.

This is one of the men who took Robyn.

Great job.

I'll distribute this to the department.

Hi. (CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

You don't know me, but I'm, uh...

Too well-dressed to be a cop.

And the way you just hugged Dee tells me

that you work with Robyn.

You're the woman who owns the bar.

Mel, right?

Right.

I wish we were meeting
under better circumstances,

uninhabitable for years.

(PHONE RINGING)

Griffin. Talk to me.

Are you gonna alert the city now?

I'm afraid that's a negative.

What? The powers that be

They feel that an alert

would lead to more lives lost

get out of the city at once.

They feel we stand a better chance

No, wait. Don't. (GROANS)

the bombs from going off.

"The targets are chosen."

The irradiated dust cloud
would travel easily

to Brooklyn, Queens,
New Jersey, Staten Island...

Oh, my God.
Talk about bang for your buck.

That's got to be it.

Wait, Harry, if Quinn
is tracking the vans,

he's gonna know that we stopped them.

No, I-I'm already on it.
I kept the signals moving

just in case.

We have less than a half an hour.
Harry, call Dante.

We need the b*mb squad
to search Liberty Park

- now.
- Got it.

(SIRENS WAILING)

OFFICER : Everyone get back.
Clear the area.

OFFICER : Back off. Back to the line.

- Glad you're okay.
- Thanks.

You're gonna want to see this.

It's negative for any leaks, Captain.

Copy that. Clear out,
I'll take it from here.

Captain McGuire, this is
the woman who called it in.

She's with me.

What are we looking at?

One of the most deadly
devices I've ever seen.

ROBYN: Can you defuse it?

Maybe if we had four or five hours...

We have minutes, not hours, Captain.

Well, then the best thing
we can do is get

as many people out of
the blast radius as possible.

But the radioactive dust...

All right, officers.
Get everybody back. Now.

- Now!
- All right, you heard him!

Harry? What are you doing here?

Well, apparently this is
where the action is.

Look, I was having major b*mb FOMO.

- No.
- Listen, I want to help.

I don't think there's
anything you can do.

That anyone can do.

I'm not so sure about that.
Hey, what are you doing?

You can't be seen with a computer.

So let them arrest me, okay?

I mean, if I can help save
the city, it's worth it.

You know, and if I can't...
what difference does it make?

Look, I discovered
one of Delgado's clients

did time in South America
for a bunch of bombings.

What if one of those bombs

can shed light on how
to defuse this one?

And if it can't...

I want to be with you.

If we're gonna to go out,
let's do it together.

No one's going out just yet.

Come on, there's got to
be something you can do.

Maybe deactivate the timer?

That's just it. There is no timer.

Which means there's a remote detonator.

Radio signal, most likely.

What's the radius on
something like that?

Reliably? Quarter mile, maybe.

Quinn's ego would never let him
leave this up to someone else.

He's gonna detonate it himself.

Which means our best,
and only chance at stopping this b*mb

from going off is getting to Quinn
before he presses that button.

Which means we have
minutes to find him.

Quinn's gonna stick around to watch,

he's sure to have a quick
getaway planned, right?

And there's only one place
in Manhattan you can do that.

- Rooftop helipad.
- HARRY: That's right.

There's only three helipads
in Lower Manhattan.

But only one of them
overlooks Liberty Park.

MEL: That's where he is.

It has to be.

- I'm on my way.
- MEL: Okay.

(SIRENS WAILING)

DANTE: Clear the area now!

Everyone, we need this
area clear, please.

- Clear. This way.
- Turn around! Go!

DANTE: Keep moving,
keep moving, keep moving.

- (CLAMORING)
- (WHISTLES BLOWING)

Harry, let's go.

Wait, wait. Wait a minute.

What are you doing?
You're not a munitions expert.

I know, but you've always said
I was a quick learner.

Hey, Captain, my name
is Harry Keshigian.

Pretty good with puzzles.
Thought maybe I could help.

You need to leave now
if you want to live.

Traffic's really bad this time of day.

Might as well just let me help.

Prepare the chopper.

You're too late, McCall.

ROBYN: Don't!

(expl*si*n)

No.

Harry. Mel!

Somebody tell me you got
out of there in time.

Harry? Mel? (CHUCKLES)

You lose, McCall.

Maybe, but you're gonna die
like the rest of us here.

- HARRY: Hey, Rob?
- Harry?

Yes, we're okay.

Covered in garbage,
but, you know, alive.

I'm sorry, I tried to stop it,
but I couldn't.

Yeah, about that... Neither could we.

But we managed to get everyone
to safety before we, uh...

removed the radioactive
canister from the b*mb.

- Wait, so...
- HARRY: Yeah.

We removed the dirty, and left the b*mb.

We cleaned it, basically.

My shirt... not so lucky.

You lose, Quinn.

The world is not even
gonna remember you existed.

(GRUNTS, CHUCKLES)

It's not over, McCall.

I've got plenty more deals to make

with my old friends at the CIA.

Not if I can help it.

(CHUCKLES) But you can't.

Haven't you learned?
Bishop was just the first.

You better keep your loved ones close.

Nice job.

Just keep him locked up.

For good, this time.

You might have to retire that shirt.

(CHUCKLES) I know.
I just bought it, too.

Oh, I will buy you as
many shirts as you want.

- HARRY: Thanks.
- What happened with Quinn?

We will never have to worry
about him again.

Ever.

What I'm worried about is
explaining this

to Aunt Vi and Dee.

What do I say?

Just tell them the truth.

The only thing they care
about is that you're safe.

You had me worried.

(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

You're not getting rid
of me that easily.

We're just getting started.
