DCPD can't be far behind.

And I'm afraid to live in a world

where private citizens like Gabi Mosely

play fast and loose with the law.

DCPD's review of Mosely
and Associates' PI license

is egregious. By all accounts,

Captain Mallory has had it out

for Gabi Mosely since day one.

Well, that may be true,

And does anyone really

Hello, son. This is a surprise.

I need a favor.

Usually the only time I hear from you.

Mosely and Associates is at risk

for losing their PI license,
which could ultimately shut us down.

You're on the Senate subcommittee

overseeing criminal justice.

Can you help us make
this problem go away?

I assume you use your...

illegal computer talents to help M&A?

Dad, can... can we not today?

My computers are my only real connection

to the outside world.

I'm aware of that, Zeke.

But look, I've tried to
understand you, but you...

you're always so closed off with me.

I don't wanna rehash the past, okay?

I don't.

Can you help me or not?

You've funded Mosely and Associates

with part of your trust fund.

Haven't you done enough for them?

My M&A family, they help

Without them, without
the work that they do,

I don't know what happens to me.

Dad, I... I never ask you for anything.

I don't.

Please, I'm just asking you to try.

Please, Dad.

Yeah, I'll look into it.

[PHONE BEEPS]

We have no comment at this time.

I can't believe this is happening.

I mean, if we lose our
license over Mallory

and his ridiculous attempt

to blame Gabi for Melissa's passing...

Ethan's worried about what
kind of emotional relapse

I might have without M&A.

Hey, I heard Tony Edwards is awake.

I just, uh, came to see how I can help.

Is Tony talking?

DCPD's already arrested him.

Well, I know, but I also
heard Gabi was already there,

so I just wasn't sure
if he gave up anything

about the trafficking ring first.

I'm sorry, but I was
under the impression

that after what happened
with Melissa's ransom drop,

that you and Gabi
were taking some space.

Personal space, yes.

But this is about nailing the
trafficking bastard that roped in Tony.

Tony is refusing to talk to police.

Patrick's refusing to talk to us.

We need a game plan

to figure out how to get around Patrick,

to get Tony to trust us.

Gabi, I want what's best for Tony,

but we have to respect his
father's wishes this time.

Agreed. Besides,
with our license in flux right now,

taking on a high-profile
case like Tony's

might not be good for M&A or Tony.

The boy was arrested... literally

handcuffed to a hospital
bed with dinosaur sheets.

This is a child who nobody's protecting.

We take down the monster
behind that trafficking ring.

Nothing gets in the way of that,

not Patrick, not some
little piece of paper.

I'm with Gabi and Dhan.

Operating without that
little piece of paper

could land Gabi behind bars.

Who can we help then?

A little help here, Trent?

Please tell them that I'm right.

This is ultimately an
M&A business decision,

and I'm not part of M&A.

So someone give me a call when
Tony or Patrick change their mind.

We owe Tony and his father.

We're moving forward with the case.

How do we move forward
without Patrick's consent?

He was in the lobby.

I need to speak to you.

Seeing those officers handcuff my son,

questioning him like
he's some criminal...

if you're as desperate to
make amends as you say you are,

then you're the only one motivated
enough to keep my boy out of prison.

Mr. Edwards, there is nothing

I want more than to keep good
on my promise to protect your son.

Then you're hired.

As soon as Tony's final
scans are in today,

he'll be discharged into police custody.

We need to get Tony into our care

before that happens.
Head to the hospital

and do not leave his side until I call.

I'll make sure Trent is there,
too, in case of any trouble.

Okay.

The gray sedan Matthew climbed into is

the same car from the drive-by
sh**ting at the Founding Fathers Inn.

We also know that
Tony's behavior changed

about six months before he took Matthew,

so whoever groomed Tony likely
made initial contact around then.

Okay, before we dive in,
can we name who we're after?

Because "unnamed trafficking
insert expletive" is a mouthful.

I've been using "Bennett"
as a placeholder.

That has personal meaning to you.

I was taken from Bennett Lane.

That was my home street in Georgia.

Okay, then. What do
we know about Bennett?

According to Matthew's
witness statement,

the sh**t was male. But
he couldn't remember enough

to sit down with a sketch artist.

I just used every favor
I have with the DA.

She's agreed to no jail
time if Tony's cooperation

- leads to the arrest of the...
- Bennett.

Bennett. Once Tony is
discharged from the hospital,

he'll be released into
his father's custody,

not the DCPD,
but they cannot leave the district.

I know that there were concerns before.

Does anyone still have
a problem with this?

Tony's a kid. If we can keep him

out of jail with adult
criminals, it's worth the risk.

That kind of trauma can
affect him for the rest of his life.

Sorry. I can get protective
and caught up in the law,

but saving a life

is worth taking any risk.

Trust me, as a...

as a kid who took a
lot out on his father

after some things happened to me,

I can tell you he's just
processing and lashing out.

I've ruined his life.

You're saving Tony's life.

We are going to find
who victimized your son,

and while they rot in jail,

Tony's gonna go to prom and college,

and one day, he's gonna have
his own family to protect

as fiercely as you protect yours.

Tony's gone.

Could he have gone to a friend's house?

Tony was antisocial. I don't
think he had any friends.

- Any leads?
- No, nothing.

If Tony had his phone, we'd at
least have something to track him by.

But it's still in evidence lockup.

I'm telling you, Tony
went to find his mom.

It makes the most sense.

Well, he definitely sees
her as a fix for everything

- that's wrong in his life.
- But problem is, she's in the wind.

Carolyn Edwards is remarried with kids,

but she went underground
around the time news

first broke about Tony's
involvement in Matthew's kidnapping.

Hiding with two kids can't be easy.

She must have left a trail somewhere.

She would have eventually had
to enroll the kids in a new school.

Dhan, keep looking. Try that angle.

Look, I know that no one
wants to consider this,

but what if Tony went back to Bennett?

Bennett already tried to k*ll Tony once.

I think he'd be too scared
to risk going back to him.

Even if his back was against the wall?

Margaret, take another run at Patrick.

Maybe he's remembered
something else overnight.

- Okay, on it.
- I'll keep trying

to get into the system
for the street cameras

in the area. With all the police

and media attention on M&A right now,

I have to be careful
how I hack into things.

- All eyes are on us.
- If the police arrest Tony

for reneging on the DA deal
before we get to him, he's screwed.

If Bennett gets to him, he's dead.

- Where are you going?
- To have a little chat with Mallory.

He needs to back off
and tell the media to do the same,

- so we can do our damn job.
- Wait, wait, wait.

Don't piss Mallory off. He will
only expedite pulling our license.

She won't, because
I'll be there with her.

- Trent...

Tony didn't like school.
He barely had friends.

I mean, there's no reason to
go back there, unless he...

He was in search of another kid.

Either to apologize,
like he did Matthew...

Or to grab as an offer for Bennett,

now that his back is
really up against that wall.

Wait, do we really think
that Tony would risk

apologizing to Matthew, only to
turn around and snatch another kid?

Lacey's right. Tony feels

like he failed his mom and dad now.

I was the same. After my kidnapping,

things were rough at home,

between me and my dad, especially.

He didn't know how to be there for me,

our relationship sucks,

Detective Shaker.

Yeah, she's all yours.

Ms. Mosely, help me.

Tony took me like he took Matthew.

- Tony, it's okay.

We know the truth about Finn.

Principal Chloe told us everything.

Finn was the one who
sh*t me outside the motel.

He's her accomplice.

We know, honey. Give me the g*n.

He ruined my life.

- He was the one who...
- Recruited you?

We know you never tried to groom Finn.

Principal Chloe had to replace Finn

before he graduated this
year, so he chose me.

I hurt so many people.

I knew there would be
more kids down here.

- I came to free them.
- That's what we're here for now.

You don't need the g*n anymore.

- You're not a k*ller.
- No, I have to end this.

You're pathetic.

Tony, look at me.

We have to save the kids.

I'll stay with Tony. Go.

Oh, my God. Dhan.

Okay.

We're gonna get you out of here, okay?

Okay.

Hi.

Tony, k*lling Finn won't
free you from the trauma.

Trust me, I know.

But there is life after the hurt.

How do you know?

Because with each life I save,

I heal just a little more.

And you helped me heal, too.

Right before I got the
call that you woke up,

I was about to make a... grave mistake.

You just saved three lives today,

and you saved me, too.

That's four.

Four lives.
