04x19 - Bad Seed

Post by bunniefuu »

Look, I'm sorry, I can't help you.

And you need to leave me alone.

Hey, seconds out.

Don't call me again.

I mean it.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

[BELL RINGS]

Is everything okay?

In three, two...

[UPBEAT MUSIC]

- I'm Chance Evans.
- And I'm Lauren Baxter.

Tonight, the search for a missing

Bennington County toddler continues

as authorities extend their search.

[CAR ALARM CHIRPS]

[TENSE MUSIC]



[GASPS]

Take what you want.

Hand over the bag.

All I want is your computer.

No, no, no.

[g*nsh*t]

[PANTING]



[YELLS]

Two rules in life... never go
to the grocery store hungry

and never go
to a pet adoption fair lonely.

I don't know what happened.

I entered this fugue state and came out

with five frozen pizzas
and little Bartlett here.

Bartlett?

- It's dignified.
- What is he, a CPA?

A partner at the law firm

of Bartlett, Bartlett, and Bartlett?

Says the man who named our pet hamster

after the FBI director.

Hoover wasn't named after J. Edgar.

He was named after the vacuum cleaner.

Remember how Mikey used to
let him eat off his plate?

[SIGHS] Speaking of Mikey...

- Oh, I knew it.
- What?

That's why you're really here.

That woman making the documentary

about Mikey's m*rder case.

Her name is Serena.

I know who she is.

She came to see me after I spoke

at Larry Michael Davis's
hearing in Florida.

Tried to pitch me
on being in her dumb movie.

She called me too.

Davis's cancer is progressing.
He's in hospice.

And she wants us to do what?

Send flowers to our brother's k*ller?

She wants you to go on camera.

She's trying to manipulate
you to get to me.

She is just trying to tell Mikey's side.

What the hell?

[SCOFFS]

Our brother was ex*cuted.

There are no sides to that.

I know that.

But the rest of the world doesn't.

Serena interviewed Davis
from his hospital bed,

said that it was compelling,
really humanized him.

Doesn't Mikey deserve that too?

Mikey deserves to rest in peace.

Bartlett, it was a pleasure.

Hey, thanks for peeing on my rug.

[LAUGHS]

[PENSIVE MUSIC]

You can do what you want with Serena.

Just leave me out of it.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Where the news crews?

Had a m*rder in their
news station parking lot

and not a single reporter covering it?

That's because the reporter is dead.

Lauren Baxter, years old,

anchored the : news last night,

then was gunned down leaving
the office a few hours later.

Back of the head.

Casings are on their way to Ballistics.

BOLO's out on vic's car,
which toll cams caught crossing

into Massachusetts ten minutes
after the sh**ting.

Making this one ours.

Got it. Any witnesses?

I got something even better.



[SIGHS]

All right, the mask
will prevent facial rec,

but what's that on his hand?

Is it a birthmark or a scar?

Let me see if anything pops
in the database.

All right, so he held her
at gunpoint for the bag.

Now, if she wouldn't have
fought him off,

would he have k*lled her?

Well, you can rob someone
in a dark alleyway,

but why pick the most well-lit

Orwellian parking lot in Vermont?

My gut is telling me this was targeted.

Any family in the area?

Yeah, she has a husband named Josh.

He lives in Woodford.

Ray and I will take him.

Kristin and Barnes,
run down her coworkers,

personal life, professional grudges.

It's all fair game.

Without a fugitive ID, our priority

is nailing down a motive fast.

She started here as an intern
straight out of college, and...

[VOICE BREAKING] One week later,

she was on payroll as a reporter.

Had you noticed any changes
in her recently?

Actually, yeah, she seemed
a little distracted,

agitated, maybe.

Agitated, exactly.

Last night before air, I...

I overheard her phone call.

It sounded contentious.

It was a personal call?

It's hard to say.

She could have been dealing
with a reluctant source.

A source?

Just because local TV news
isn't glamorous

doesn't mean that it isn't serious.

Reporters pitch, produce,
investigate their own stories.

We're gonna need a list
of all the stories

Lauren was working on.

She kept all of her research
on her laptop

so she'd always have it on her.

I see.

- Thank you both.
- Thank you.

[SOMBER MUSIC]

I told her.

I told her this was gonna happen.

This guy was escalating
and she was gonna get hurt.

Who was escalating?

Are you saying your wife
was being harassed?

She had a stalker.

Connected to a story she reported on?

I don't know.

Lauren never revealed her stories

or her sources to anyone.

But my gut tells me no.

This was personal.

And how do you know that?

The guy was obsessed with her.

He was phoning every night,
begging her to be with him,

calling her his soulmate.

Did she block his number?

Yeah, and that just
pissed him off even more.

Last week, I found the lug nuts
on her tires unscrewed.

You guys report any of this?

I begged Lauren to call the police.

She was afraid they'd take her off

the hard-hitting stories at work

if they knew that she was in danger.

Job meant everything to Laura.
It gave her purpose.

She'd rather die than lose that.

She was brave, that's for damn sure.

And that bravery
may have gotten her k*lled.

Hana, any luck with that call
Lauren's producer said

- she made before the show?
- Not exactly.

I traced it to a truck stop
payphone in Needham, Mass.

Now, there were multiple calls
made to Lauren's phone,

indicating stalker behavior.

All made late at night?

Yeah, and all from
the same masked number.

So that's gotta be the stalker.

You unmask it yet?

Have we met?

Harry Watt, years old,

lives five miles from the news station.

He did time for domestic v*olence.

He's got two separate restraining orders

from two different women.

Sounds like a real charmer.

Drop the address to Kristin and Barnes.

They're closer. We'll meet them there.

Do you want me to contact Pownal PD?

No backup.

This guy's just a suspect.

We go in hot, we spook him.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]



[KNOCK AT DOOR]

Mr. Watt, this is the FBI.

Got a few questions for you.

- [GASPS]
- [g*nsh*t]

Barnes.

Barnes!

[g*nsh*t]

- Talk to me.
- I'm okay. I'm not hit.

Tahoe.

[g*nshots]



We got sh*ts fired
at Horseshoe Lane.

Requesting PD backup.

Clear.

Clear.

It wasn't just Lauren
he was obsessed with.

It's called a parasocial relationship.

The viewer develops
an obsession with the person

on their screen,
like me and Betty White,

only this is next level.

Hey, guys, we got a big problem.

I just found this on his dash.

Timestamped yesterday evening.

Called the boat rental company
and they confirmed.

Harry Watt was miles away

in Lake Winnipesaukee
when Lauren was k*lled.

Okay, so this can't be our guy.

Why'd he go all Rambo on us?

What's up?

Hana, the restraining
orders against Watt...

either of those women live
on Lake Winnipesaukee?

Hold up.

Charlotte Neil,
a newscaster in Guilford.

Back to square one.

[TENSE MUSIC]



I know you're Lauren's source.

It was all on her laptop.

Give it to me.

You can get up.

I want you to know I'm sorry,

that I regret it all.

I did my best to make it right.

You knew the truth.

You could have stopped it all.

Instead, you profit
off of people's pain.

Good people.

[g*nsh*t]



People like me.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

Detective Stone, Mass PD.

When my Ballistics guys logged
shell casings from the scene

into NIBIN, your Vermont m*rder
popped up as a possible match,

so we ran DNA.

When it matched your unsubs,
we called immediately.

We appreciate that.

We appreciate the help.

Victim is Sophia Mulroney, ,

lives alone since her husband's
death a decade ago.

Was he some kind of big sh*t?

Actually, Mrs. Mulroney
was the breadwinner.

She's VP of R&D at
Tredate Pharmaceuticals.

Anybody run any prints on this safe?

ERT did find unknown prints on the desk.

- Any hits?
- [SIGHS]

So our guy has no record.

Try running them through the
Massachusetts Civil Repository.

So she was sh*t four times.

I'd say it's more like rage
than a robbery.

Yes, but our subject
stole Lauren's laptop.

Okay, Miles Maddox, .

He's a public schoolteacher.

He lives with his wife in Needham.

- Hold up.
- What?

That call Lauren got before her show

the night she was m*rder*d,

it was from a truck stop
payphone in Needham.

Miles Maddox is our suspect.

Dispatch PD.

Get Kristin and Ray over there now.

Lights and sirens on. Let's roll.



Sorry about that, Mrs. Maddox.

Call me Savannah.

I mean Sav. I go by Sav.

I'm sorry. I'm a mess.

I need to sit down.

My husband, he'd gone
off the rails recently.

But I never thought he'd k*ll anyone.

Off the rails how?

Miles has lupus.

He's in constant pain,
covered in rashes.

The physical symptoms,
they take a mental toll.

I know.
I have lupus, too, just not as bad.

It's how Miles and I met...

five years ago
in a Facebook support group.

Of course, now Facebook's where
he spends all of his time.

Doing what?

Ranting about big pharma,

especially after
the effercil price hike.

Effercil?

That's lupus medication?

It's the only drug that
keeps our symptoms manageable.

Last year, they jacked up
its price by %.

I'm sorry. That must have
put quite a strain on you both.

On our finances, our health,
our marriage.

Miles has become so bitter,
you know, so full of rage.

Is that how you got that shiner?

[TENSE MUSIC]

A few days ago, he saw something

on the news that set him off.

He was screaming, ranting,

vowing to take out every last one

of those corrupt sons of b*tches.

It terrified me.

When I tried to calm him down,
he punched me.

I haven't seen him since.

Can you think of anybody
he'd go to for help?

Colleagues, friends, family?

His parents are dead.

I'm estranged from mine.

We keep our circle small.

I know he talks with people
online in lupus groups.

We'll need a list of names.

Of course. Whatever I can do to help.

Could you excuse us a second?

Let's leave a unit out front for her.

Yeah.

It's not me that he's after.

It's effercil, big pharma,
the whole health care industry.

Please, you have to stop him
before he kills someone else.

Thank you.

Any luck on Miles' internet friends?

I ran down the names
that Savannah gave us.

No one knows where Miles is. Thank you.

But most of them are too sick
to leave their home,

so I highly doubt that
they're harboring a fugitive.

Right. You ready for this?

Effercil, the lupus drug,
is manufactured by Tredate.

The same company that
Sophia Mulroney worked for?

Yes. Check this out.

Lauren Baxter ended
the Sunday night news

with a segment on Wyatt Crawford.

The billionaire?

And CFO of Tredate.

What was the segment?

It was a puff piece praising Crawford

for his philanthropic work in Africa.

Okay, so Miles's first victim

publicly boosted Tredate's image.

And his next victim was a
high-level exec at the company.

So what's next,
nuking the corporate office?

And k*lling whoever signed off

on that % effercil price hike.

As CFO, that would be Wyatt Crawford.

Where's his last known?

He has houses in Manhattan, Cape Cod,

Harbor Island, and Bali.

Get the POBO to the ones
without palm trees.

PD just called in

an abandoned car backed into an alley.

They ran it through NCIC,
and the BOLO popped

on the reporter's car...
four blocks from Miles' house.

He's going after Savannah.



[GASPS]

Hello, Savannah.

Miles. God, you scared me.

The FBI was just here. They'll be back.

I told them you did this to me.



You think they bought it?

Oh, believe me, baby, they bought it.

Did that woman give it up?



The hard part's almost over.

Mm-hmm.

Me and who?

Me and you...

against the world.



The doors and windows are intact.

There's no sign of a struggle
or Savannah, either.

Or her green Volvo. BOLO's out.

She must have left on her own.

Probably not willingly.

Savannah left her phone
and wallet behind.

All right, so we're thinking
he kidnapped her?

That doesn't make sense.

If he was angry at her,
he could have just k*lled her.

He was out for revenge against Tredate.

Taking Savannah only slows him down.

We pulled Ring footage from
neighbors across the street.

She doesn't look like
she's under duress.

No, she looks like she's helping him.

Look at her eye. Notice anything?

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

- No.
- Exactly.

When Ray and I spoke with her,
she was all black and blue.

Now nothing, no bruise.

She played us.

So now we have two fugitives on the run.

What do we have on Savannah Maddox?

Just that her mother's in Canada.

She's estranged from her parents.

Both she and Miles
had to quit their jobs,

probably not too many friends
we can speak with.

What about them?

Amanda Hanover.

I'll get an address.

So let me get this straight.

Miles hitting Savannah,
his anger at Tredate,

it's all lies?

Fed to us by Savannah
to throw us off their scent.

Okay, so if they're not after Tredate,

then what's the connection between them

and their victims?

There might not be one.

Maybe they're just a psycho couple

on a k*lling spree like
a modern day Bonnie and Clyde.

And they're gonna go down
just like Bonnie and Clyde.

They swapped Lauren's
stolen car for Savannah's,

which means they think they
can go into public undetected.

Let's make sure that can't happen.

Plaster wanted posters everywhere

and make it so they can't
sneeze without getting recognized.

[TENSE MUSIC]



Ugh, I look like my grandmother.

I gotta say, I kinda like the look.

[LAUGHS]

Three years of marriage,
and now I find out

you've got a cougar fetish?

You've found out worse.

[PENSIVE MUSIC]



It would have been nice, you know,

growing old together,

sitting around on some beach somewhere,

drinking, talking smack.

You ever wonder what our kids
would have looked like?

I used to.

They would have had your eyes.

Yours are better.

No way.

Yours are like tractor beams.

One look, and they just
suck you right in.

You know that's what got me hooked.

Stop.

I just... I... I can't.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

Do you wanna run through these questions

- one more time or...
- I've got them memorized.

I'm waiting for you right outside.

Just get the stuff and get out.



Can I confirm your address?

Maple Drive, Weston, .

Mother's maiden name?

Rowe.

And the second and fifth
letter of your password?

Oh, that'll be A and T.

Thank you for your patience,
Mrs. Mulroney.

Oh, please call me Sophia.
And it's no problem.

You never can be too careful
when it comes to these things.

Now, if you have your key.

Perfect. Vault's this way.

You said you last talked to Savannah

a couple of weeks ago?

Yes, on the th.

I remember because it was the
day before Miles's birthday.

We were supposed
to get drinks to celebrate.

She called and canceled.

Did she say why?

No, that's what was weird.

She was upset, crying,
but she wouldn't tell me why.

I've known her since we were ten.

Were they having marriage issues?

No way... she and Miles
never had any problems.

He saved her life, really.

How so?

Growing up with lupus was tough for Sav.

She was bullied at school.

Her parents weren't emotionally equipped

to raise a chronically ill child.

Their relationship was a mess.

And then she met Miles,

and he understood firsthand
her pain and suffering.

And with him, she finally
got what she wanted.

True love.

As God as my witness,
she's a really good soul.

She intentionally misled federal agents

to aid and abet her husband.

I don't know why Miles
has done what he's done,

but what I do know is that
they're soulmates,

and she would do anything for him.

Hmm.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

Have a great rest of your day.

[TENSE MUSIC]



Excuse me, ma'am.

Stop right there!

- [g*nsh*t]
- [PEOPLE SCREAMING]

This is Weston branch.

I have a wanted fugitive detained.

- Requesting immediate...
- [g*nsh*t]



Hey, come here. I got you. It's okay.

- The envelope.
- It's okay.

- The envelope.
- What? Oh, yeah, okay.

I got it, I got it, I got it.

Come on, come on.

What the hell happened?

Savannah came in at : p.m.

Security guard recognized her
as she was leaving,

tried to detain her.

Miles intercepted him and they escaped.

The guard managed to wound her

before Miles sh*t and k*lled him.

Okay, so there'll be a lot of blood.

Alert all hospitals
within a -mile radius.

Yes, sir.

Why this bank?

Savannah gained access
to a safe deposit box

by posing as its owner, Sophia Mulroney.

Teller said she passed
the security authorization

with flying colors.
She had her ID and her key.

Which Miles stole from her safe.

Right... CCTV footage
inside the vault shows Savannah

taking out an envelope
from Sophia's box.

Whatever was in that envelope
is propelling them

- to their next target.
- [PHONE RINGS]

Hana, what do you got?

We know Savannah called Amanda

with some kind of bad news
on the th, right?

Her FedEx records show that
she signed for a package

- that very morning.
- What was delivered?

Well, I checked their financials,

and the only thing that she
bought in the past two weeks

were DNA test kits from Seed .

That's the ancestry DNA company.

Mail your spit and get your family tree.

Mm-hmm, and genetic background.

Well, with Miles' birthday on the th,

she could have bought
the test kits as a gift.

Curiosity about their
genetics certainly tracks,

especially given their lupus.

Can you see the results?

I'm trying to get into her account now.

Okay, here we go.

We're looking at her family tree.

Are these cousins?

Siblings.

There's of them.

I thought she was an only child.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

So this icon at the top,
that's her father, right?

There's no name.

Just means he hasn't
uploaded his DNA yet.

- Oh, my God.
- What's wrong?

Go all the way to the
right-hand side of the screen

and look at the sibling.

Miles Maddox.

Our fugitives are brother and sister?



One test.

one test, and their entire life
unravels and falls apart.

This case is making me sick.

They were together five years
before taking those Seed s.

I mean, can you imagine finding out

you're married to your sibling?

And I thought I was unlucky in love.

[PHONE CHIMES]

Serena Wade?

You been holding out on me?

Come on.

You know you're
the only woman in my life.

God, I hope that's not true.

She's the documentarian making the movie

about my brother's m*rder case.

The k*ller's lawyers claim
to have found evidence

of prosecutorial misconduct.

What kind of misconduct?

I haven't read the brief.

Why not?

Motions like this happen all the time.

% of them are trash.

isn't .

[APPREHENSIVE MUSIC]

It's taken me and my family decades

to come to a place of peace
with Mikey's m*rder.

I'm not upending that
for some wild goose chase.

Uh, we just got off the phone
with Miles's aunt.

It was hard trying to track her down

with his parents being deceased,

but she said that
he was conceived using IVF.

What about Savannah?

Well, I reached out
to her estranged mom.

Turns out she was an IVF baby too.

Are we saying both families

happened to use the same sperm donor?

No, this is where it gets weird.

- It's already weird.
- True, but listen to this.

Both families claim that the parents

used their own egg and sperm.

[SIGHS] This had to be done in a clinic.

Yes, but she doesn't know
where the Maddoxes went.

No, but Savannah's family
used an IVF clinic

in Boston, Enriched Fertility.
It's been closed years.

Track their records,
find out if there's anyone

at that clinic we can talk to.

Yeah.

I got into Miles' Seed account.

Now, a couple of hours after
he uploaded his results,

he received a message
from one of his siblings,

Austin Tuck in Salem.

Hana, share it with me.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

What do I do? What do I do?

I wanna take the jacket off.

I got you, I got it,
I got it. I got it, I got it.

Oh, my God, Sav, it's so much blood.

- Let me get something.
- I'm sorry.

I tried to get out.

Don't you say that.
You did nothing wrong.

Here.

I'm gonna take you to a hospital.

No, Miles. Miles, no.

If we go there, we'll go to jail, okay?

We have to get to Scanlon.

That's what we agreed on.

I'm not losing you.

You understand me?

I'm taking you to a hospital.

Okay?

Okay.

Okay?

I won't make it
unless we stop the bleeding.

The gas station will have bandages.

Okay.

[TENSE MUSIC]



Hold on.

I'll be right back.

Miles!

Baby, what is it?

Talk to me.

What was that for?

For loving me.

I'll be right back.

[SENTIMENTAL MUSIC]



[TENSE MUSIC]



[GROANING]

Don't ever let anyone tell you lupus

is just bad joints and weird rashes.

My kidneys are failing.

You wanna know the bitch of it?

Not one of my blood siblings
can donate theirs,

thanks to Dr. Gregory Scanlon.

And was he your parents'
fertility doctor?

Yes, but also the biological father

to me and my siblings.

I'm sorry?

Your parents' doctor used his sperm

to inseminate his patients?

And lied about it, yes.

He was replacing the fathers

without anyone's knowledge or consent.

How'd you figure out he was your father?

I found a paternal cousin on Seed

who gave me a list of his relatives.

Scanlon was on it.

Once more siblings started popping up,

some of us compared notes.

All of our parents used
Dr. Scanlon and his clinic.

Why didn't you report it?

Fertility was relatively
unregulated in the ' s.

No one could conceive of a doctor

abusing his power the way Scanlon did,

so there was no legislation
in place to stop it.

And you don't know where he is now?

I almost tracked him down.

Last year, I heard back from
a reporter I'd reached out to.

She wanted to help tell our story

but couldn't get a piece approved

for air without hard proof.

Then she found a source willing to speak

to what Scanlon did on the record.

And who was that source?

I don't know.

They insisted on complete anonymity

before getting cold feet.

They backed out. Then Lauren backed out.

Lauren?

As in Lauren Baxter?

You know her?

She's dead.

Your biological brother,
Miles Maddox, k*lled her.

Had you spoken with Miles and Savannah?

I reached out to them when I got

their Seed account notification.

They came to visit a couple times.

We'd have tea.

And would you talk about Scanlon?

And my efforts to expose him.

I told them about Lauren and the source.

Mr. Tuck, forgive me,
but you don't seem surprised

by what we're telling you.

I'm dying, Agent Scott.

The truth of what
Scanlon did to my family,

to hundreds of families,
shouldn't die with me.

Did I know this was how Sav and Miles

were gonna take up my fight?

No.

But justice delayed is justice denied.

And they won't be denied.



All this carnage to get
to Dr. Scanlon is extreme.

Since no one can
take down Scanlon legally,

Austin resorted to his next
best option, going public.

Then Lauren, Austin's last hope

at exposing the truth, backs out.

So it looks like Scanlon
closed the clinic in ' ,

went off the grid for a bit,
and then a few years later,

reapplied for a medical license
in New Hampshire.

Okay, PD just arrested Miles
outside a gas station

in Dunstable. No sign of Sav.

We're here for Miles Maddox.

Agent Gaines, Agent Cannon.

Officer Marshall,
Miles's arresting officer.

Sorry to tell you,
he lawyered up before we'd even

- finished reading him Miranda.
- You're kidding?

His wife leaves him
in the middle of a manhunt

and he's not even pissed about it?

Evidently not enough to flip on her.

We did take his burner phone.

And we also found this in his pocket.



Thank you.

My name is Sophia Mulroney.

So this is what they stole
from Sophia's deposit box.

Today's date is November , .

And if you are watching this,
it means our secret is out.

years ago, I co-founded
Enriched Fertility

with Dr. Gregory Scanlon.

And six months later, I walked in

on Dr. Scanlon masturbating into a cup

bearing a male patient's name,
which he'd later use

to inseminate a female patient

without her knowledge or consent.

When Sophia confronted Scanlon,

he begged her not to call the police.

And so she just didn't?

The clinic had a % success rate,

highest in the country.

Scanlon convinced her
that they were doing good,

so she looked the other way.

Until he was diagnosed with lupus.

And, of course, IVF clinics screen out

any potential donors
with an inheritable illness

too risky for the baby.

Which makes what Scanlon did
even more disgusting.

Yeah, well, this guy's a textbook

pathological narcissist.

He's all ego,
considers himself infallible.

But why didn't Sophia report
Scanlon's house of horrors

when she found out about the lupus?

She was in too deep.

I didn't find any connection
between Sophia

and Enriched Fertility.

That's because when
Sophia left the clinic,

she demanded that he shred
any record of her involvement

and then spent the rest
of her life researching

a cure for lupus at Tredate.

Fighting for the sick babies
she allowed Scanlon to create.

Miles' burner phone has
a ton of photos of documents

from Lauren Baxter's laptop,
including an address

in Manchester, New Hampshire.

New Hampshire is where Scanlon applied,
for his medical license.

And Manchester is miles north

of where Savannah ditched Miles.

Call SWAT and New Hampshire
State Police.

If Savannah gets to Scanlon
first, he's a dead man.

[KNOCK AT DOOR]



Dr. Scanlon?

Can I help you?

Don't you recognize me?

I'm sorry. You have the wrong house.

It's me,

your daughter.

[TENSE MUSIC]



Time for one more.

Please stop this.

We've only done , doctor.

You still have two children
to bleed for.

Me...

And my husband.



[GASPS]

[GROANING]



Mark Anderson, SWAT team leader.

- What do we got?
- We have a visual on the fugitive.

- She's armed.
- Where's Scanlon?

Hostage is strapped to a chair.

She's torturing him.

When we attempted to negotiate,
she fired at us,

refuses to surrender.

Anyone else in the house?

Negative.

You got a sh*t?

sn*pers are in position.

You give the word, we'll execute.

Remy, it's the medical examiner

from the bank crime scene.
He needs to speak with you.

Not now.

I think you wanna take this call.



I wanna know why you did it.

I deserve that much.

Tell me why.

Tell me!

You're gonna die!

I'll never die.

I'm a part of you.

Don't do it, Savannah!

I'm Special Agent Remy Scott.

I just wanna talk.

He has to die.

No, he doesn't.

I know what Scanlon did.

To you and Miles, especially.

Just put the w*apon down
and let me bring him in.

No, we tried. It's not gonna work.

I'm not letting him get away.

You pull that trigger, you go to jail

for the rest of your life.

I don't give a damn.

They'll take your baby away.

My what?

You're pregnant.

You're lying.

No, I'm not.

You left blood at that bank
after you got sh*t.

I have the results.

I can show you.

No, it's not possible.

Miles and I stopped
having sex after we found out.

Which was only a few weeks ago.

I'm holstering my g*n,

and I'm coming in.

I know this is not how you pictured it.

But you and Miles always
dreamed of having a family,

to have a baby.

No, I can't.

It'll suffer, be born deformed.

You don't know that.

And you don't know, either.

Everyone will treat it like a freak,

like they'll treat me and Miles.

Listen to me, Sav.

You exposed the truth
that Scanlon kept hidden.

The truth can be so ugly.

It can be so painful.

It can upend your whole life.

But without it...

we can't heal.

That's what your baby represents.

You're gonna be a mother now.

That baby needs you.

It's a new beginning.

A new beginning.



- Take her in.
- On it.



Agent Scott, thank you.

You should have stayed retired, doc.

What are you doing?
I've done nothing wrong.

This ain't the ' s.

There's laws against
fertility fraud now.

We looked into your little stint

at that clinic in New Hampshire.

So far, we found children

under the age of six matching your DNA.

You're toast.

I hope they gut you like
a rainbow trout in prison.

Read this son of a bitch his rights.

Miles is awaiting arraignment.

What do you think
they'll charge Savannah with?

Well, she didn't k*ll anyone,

so I doubt the state will charge her

with anything beyond
accessory, kidnapping,

t*rture, identity theft.

She should have never taken
that stupid Seed test.

Sometimes ignorance is bliss.

So is that what you're
choosing with Serena?

[LAUGHS] Are you saying
I'm willfully ignorant?

I think you haven't read
the motion on Mikey's case

'cause you're afraid of what
you'll find if you do.

You're wrong.

That brief is total garbage.

Okay, prove it.

Read it.

You can tell me how wrong I was.

Because you just said it to Savannah.

To heal, we need the truth, right?

No matter how ugly it is.

[PENSIVE MUSIC]



[SIGHS]

[LINE TRILLING]

Agent Scott?

I read the motion.

And?

Davis has three experts who say

the Kn*fe wounds on my brother's body

were inflicted post-mortem.

The only reason to s*ab
someone after they're dead...

Is to stage a crime scene.

If these experts are right,

that means Mikey's k*ller placed them

in Davis's tent to frame him.

It means the Fort Lauderdale
police didn't screw up

by letting him go.

It changes timeline, changes motive.

It changes everything.

And there's more to come.

The appellate court is about to rule

on a motion to make the prosecutor

turn over his entire case file.

Who knows what else they'll find?

For years, I bought the story

this prosecutor was selling.

I built my whole worldview around it...

my life, my career.

I know.

[SIGHS]

Maybe there was a part of me
that didn't wanna know.

I refuse to make that mistake again.

You ready to sit down for an interview?



First I have to find out what
really happened to my brother.

Even if you don't like what we find?
