What are you talking about?

ROBYN: Dante got hit
with one of those syringes.

DANTE [SLURRING]:
Robyn has such a great smile.

Doesn't she have a great smile, Harry?

HARRY: Yeah, she does.

Hey, what else was in that stuff?

A very powerful truth serum.

HARRY: Breathe. Breathe.

Come on.

- [GASPS]
- Oh, God. Oh, God.

You okay?

Yeah, never better.

[SAXOPHONE PLAYING]

[LOUD CHATTER]

Hey, man, watch where you're going.

This is the Queens-bound

Yo. You stepped on my kicks.

- Get out of my face before you get...

- MAN: Oh, no.

Did that, did that guy just jump?

MAN 3: Hey, somebody call 911!

[BIRDS SINGING]

Mmm.

Y'all sending me to work
with lunch today?

- [GIGGLES]
- I would,

but the rest of this
is for dinner later,

and you know how Harry eats.

Especially when it
comes to your cooking.

Well, what can I say?
The man has exceptional taste.

- [LAUGHS]
- No,

these are for Mr. Otis.

I'm going to visit him

in the nursing home again,
and this time,

Dee is gonna go with me.

- [LAUGHS]:
- You okay?

DELILAH: Yeah, no, it's just,

I barely remember Mr. Otis, that's all.

ROBYN: You were a little girl

- last time you saw them.
- DELILAH: Yeah.

But Mr. Otis and Miss Bella,

they were more than neighbors.

Back in the day, they were family.

VI: They surely were.

Ever since Miss Bella d*ed,
he's been so lonely.

I know he'll appreciate a visit.

Well, I'm glad y'all are doing that.

It's important
that we not forget our elders.

You know, you're welcome
to come with us, sweetheart.

Sounds like a plan. Why not?

- BOTH: Yay.
- [PHONE RINGS]

Hey.

Okay.

Got it. I'll be there.

- I'm sorry.
- VI: Don't you worry about it.

Next time.

Well, please tell Mr. Otis I said hi.

VI: You know I will.

[SOFT CHUCKLE]

SARA: The police think that
my husband's death two days ago

was an open-and-shut case of su1c1de...

...but it wasn't.

And why do you think that?

Michael and I have been trying
to have a baby for years.

Being a father
meant everything to him, and...

then our miracle happened.

We named Mary after Michael's mother,

who raised him in the Kitchen.

- Hell's Kitchen?
- Yes.

My husband was a...

"pull yourself up
by the bootstraps" type.

You see, "quit" wasn't in his DNA.

So, if it wasn't an accident,
you think it was foul play?

I don't know, I just...

I know it wasn't su1c1de.

Well, was there anything else
going on in his life?

Mary and I were Michael's first love,

but second was Beltany Realty.

Michael built Beltany
into one of the biggest

real estate development
companies in the city.

I can only imagine
that took a lot of blood,

- sweat and tears.
- It did,

but, um...

Michael was always really great
at keeping his work

and private life separate, so...

if anything was going on there,
I-I wouldn't know about it.

[CRYING]: I lost the love of my life.

And Mary will never know her father.

Don't worry.

I'll look into it.

Thank you.

WOMAN: Bonita?

- The hell?
- Hey, girl, how you doing?

DANTE [SLURRING]: Hey, girl.

How you doing?
Robyn has such a great smile.

Doesn't she have a great smile?

ROBYN [OVER PHONE]: What's he saying?

[PHONE RINGING]

Yo, Dante.

- What's up, man?
- Hey, Harry.

I just had a weird...

Well, remember when I got hit
with that syringe?

[CHUCKLES]: Uh, yeah.

You had me, uh, a little
freaked out there for a minute.

Right. So, I recall being in your car,

but I'm a bit hazy on the rest.

Uh, did I say anything...

odd?

About Robyn, maybe?

So, you, like, don't remember that part?

No. W-What did I say about her?

You know, it was, like,
very much about your feelings.

Look, I think if you want clarity,

I think you know who to ask.

- [DOOR CLOSES]
- Oh, incoming.

Call you back.

[PHONE BEEPS OFF]

Yeah, what do you got, Harry?

What do I got? Well...

Michael Conway was one of NYC's hottest

young real estate developers.

He and his partner rescued

the old Ensler Hotel, they remodeled it,

and now it's, like,
the hottest spot in town.

Real estate development
in the Big Apple,

I mean, that's not stressful at all.

Yeah, a lot to coordinate,

and more things go wrong than right.

HARRY: That's the kind of stress

that could really push
somebody over the edge.

Yeah, I know Sara doesn't
think her husband could do it,

but she wouldn't be the first
to believe that, either.

ROBYN: Michael's
profile speaks of a fighter.

Someone with a lot to live for.

Also, I know what it's like
to lose a father

and not have any answers.

I think we should kick
the tires on this one.

Thought you might say that, so...

I pulled the CCTV footage
from the platform.

MEL: We already went over
all the witness statements.

A few said it looked
like Michael jumped.

But there's no real good
camera angle to tell.

We'll keep scrubbing through the footage

and, you know, maybe we'll get lucky.

What about his business partner?

Unlike Michael,

Hunter Roberts has no social
media presence to speak of.

He seems really private.

So, he won't talk to just anyone.

I'll need to create a cover.

I'll let you know how it goes.

Hold on. Honey, right there.

Do you see that guy?

Hap cat with the shades?

Human nature makes you
at least look back, right?

HARRY: Unless you
already know what happened.

- MEL: Mm-hmm.
- Also,

he never got on a train
or left the station.

This was the last place he was
seen, and then, he's gone.

I mean, that doesn't make any sense.

Well, maybe there's another exit

that we can't see from here,
but if we went there, we could.

I mean, it's a little thin,

- but what have we got to lose?
- Okay.

Wait, wait, where are you going?

To put on my subway shoes.

These are Cavalli.

Right. Obviously.

[DOOR OPENS]

ROBYN: Thank you for meeting me,
Mr. Roberts.

Uh, please, call me Hunter.

Sorry.

Can't get up.

I hope that was worth it, Hunter.

I just flew back

from skiing in Aspen. Broke my fibula.

So, The New York Globe.

- How can I help?
- Yes, I'm doing a story

on Michael's life and tragic death,

so I was hoping to talk
to those closest to him.

What would you like to know?

Well, why would someone
with seemingly everything

throw it all away?

I wish I knew.

Michael was a great friend.

More importantly,
an amazing husband and father.

I really admired him.

Well, anything at work

that could've triggered this?

It could be off the record, if you like.

Right before I left for vacation,

we closed on this, uh, big project

that would've turned
the Vestige Apartments

into the biggest homeless living
center in the city's history.

It was a pet project for
Michael, a dream come true.

Why was it so important to Michael?

Well, he always fought for the underdog.

He was one himself,
growing up in Hell's Kitchen.

But, as is often the
case with these deals,

it's never done
until the paperwork is signed.

Investors got cold feet.

I told Michael that he should call me.

He tried to handle it himself...

The whole thing fell apart.

The morning of the accident,
he sent me a text

saying that he was sorry.

Next thing I know, he's dead.

ASSISTANT [OVER INTERCOM]:
Sorry to interrupt, sir,

but the board meeting's about to start.

- Of course.
- Well,

thank you for your time.

And again, sorry for your loss.

I appreciate that. Thank you.

Hunter said that a deal
Michael championed,

went south.

Thinks that might've driven him to jump.

Oh, man. That would be tragic.

I also saw a maintenance order

that Michael requested the day he d*ed

to hang a photo in his office.

Why would he do that if he was

Exactly. Something's off here.

We're just tracking down

Okay.

I could hear the steps
from his Italian leather soles.

It was crazy.

I get that your senses are heightened,

The two associates of yours
that popped me...

The guy smelled of Japanese
denim and hand sanitizer.

And the lady, well,

she fights well for a sn*per.

When she flipped me,
I could feel the callus

on her trigger finger.

And you, Detective.

You box?

I've laced up the gloves a bit.

I can hear your breathing.

You really should get that
deviated septum checked out.

Look, I feel terrible
about this guy dying,

I really do, but I was just trying
to make a buck and eat, that's all.

DANTE: What do you think?

I think it's a big jump.

From stealing wallets
to k*lling someone?

No violent past, no previous record.

My gut tells me he didn't do it.

He was at the m*rder and came
in contact with the victim.

So we got enough to hold him.

Clay asked you about the time.

Seemed in a rush to go somewhere.

Cut him loose.

See where it leads.

Mel can shadow him.

Sounds like a plan.

I'll cut him loose.

[PHONE RINGING]

Talk to me, Harry.

I checked Michael's phone records.

could be the key to unlocking
this whole thing.

Okay, I'll head
to the Daily News offices

and speak with the reporter.

I'll call ahead, make sure you get in.

How's your day going, Detective?

It's going well, Captain. Yourself?

Mm. That depends.

Who was the civilian woman
in the box with you earlier?

And why was she in there

while you were questioning a suspect?

Let me tell you who it better not be.

This Equalizer friend of yours.

'Cause I've heard the rumors.

And vigilantes

Let's keep it that way.

Yes, Captain.

Yeah, Harry?

HARRY: Okay, this
is only a theory, all right?

But what if Michael downloaded

something, you know, really damning

onto that thumb drive

and was about
to give it to the reporter.

Which is why they were both k*lled.

And then Clay picked the
thumb drive off Michael,

found out what was on it,
and then tried to sell it

to the guy in the blue Oldsmobile.

HARRY: Whatever Michael put on it,

people are obviously
willing to k*ll for.

Yeah, so it must be valuable.

Michael was involved in big
real estate deals and projects.

Millions on the line.

Like that project he was trying to save.

Yeah, about that... I looked into
that Vestige homeless project,

So the fix is in?

Yeah.

But with all the different agencies,

it's almost impossible

You look at the evidence and see
if there's anything you missed.

Okay. I'll go back
to the maintenance room,

see if there's anything
we didn't see the first time.

Okay, I'll hit up Rene's apartment.

So, this facility has two computers.

One in the office needs a password

and is pretty closely monitored.

But that one has

full access, and...

Gladys, you're gonna break it.

...clearly, anyone

- can use it.
- LINDSAY: Hey, everyone!

It's time for chair yoga!

- [GROANING]
- Oh, come on.

The doctor recommends 30 minutes

of activity a day, huh?

[SINGSONGY]: Shake it, don't break it.

[CHUCKLES]

That means you, too, ladies.

Of course.

sh**t.

Hey, let me see the bills real quick?

- Hmm.
- What?

Chair yoga is on Monday afternoons.

Here. Come on.

These three charges were
made on the first,

eighth and 15th.

It's all Mondays.

VI: They sure are.

All Chair Yoga Day.

Come along.

Hey, I checked Clay's spot.
Nothing there.

[TAPPING SOUNDS]

You can come out now, Clay!

We know about your daughter, Rene.

We know that she's in trouble.

We just want to help you.

I depend on nobody but myself.

Everybody needs somebody.

Even you, Clay.

You couldn't begin to understand.

But I do know what it's like
to try to survive a w*r

and then just try to act normal.

Normal.

What is normal?

And your poor family, they can't relate.

They just think you're broken.

And guess what...

you are broken.

We can get you help for that.

No. Been there.

I was put on all kinds of meds
just made me numb,

so I stopped taking 'em
and grew even more bitter.

That's what ended my marriage

and my relationship with my daughter.

I'm so sorry.

Yeah, me, too.

I let Rene and her mom down.

So I thought when I found this drive,

finally a chance to make some real money

and maybe help Rene out.

But I should have known better
than to dance with the devil,

who kills people in cold blood.

What do you mean?

Mo wears a rare cologne
you can only buy in Ireland.

I smelled it three times in my life.

Once on a train to boot camp,

then in the car the first time
I met Mo for the exchange.

And days earlier in the station

right before Michael d*ed.

[TRAIN HORN BLARING]

Mo went right by me
on the way to Michael.

Then I heard the taser charge.

Michael was dead.

I don't think that's Mr. Otis's size.

WILL: What are you doing, Lindsay?

Uh... ordering some gifts
for my favorite seniors.

Do you always do that with
Mr. Otis's credit card number?

This is all a simple misunderstanding.

Don't you even try it.

These people trusted you. Shame on you.

Let's go, Lindsay.
Police are on their way.

[MR. OTIS LAUGHS]

Bingo. One card.

[LAUGHS]

Oh, thank you so much

for coming to visit me.

And don't worry about me, I'm just fine.

I can see that you are.

I'll come again soon.

Please do.

- Bye-bye.
- Bye.

Ladies. That it? Ha-ha!

He is living his best life. [CHUCKLES]

Oh, yes, he is.

And if you ever put me
in one of these places,

I will k*ll you.

Message received.

Mo k*lled Michael himself.

Once we learned that Mo was involved,

I checked the footage outside the subway

at the time of Michael's death,

and right there was
Mo's eyesore of a car.

ROBYN; So we have the how of the case,

we just need the thumb drive
to prove the rest.

And we need to figure out
where Clay and Mo are meeting

so we can save Rene in time.

Wait a minute.

Mo's car is an eyesore

because Mo must have been
in an accident.

Okay. Where are you going with this?

I'm gonna throw a Hail Mary here

and run accident insurance reports

in the tri-state area
in the last 30 days.

Cross-reference it
with Mo's license plate, and...

[COMPUTER CHIMES]

Well, look at that.

Jolian Blevins reported an accident

in a parking lot at Pier 88
nine days ago.

That's right next to
one of Mo's construction sites.

And, oh, yeah, Clay just showed up.

Okay, we're on our way.

You guys, it's across town.

We're never gonna make it.

You got the thumb drive?

You got my daughter?

[footsteps scuffled0

- [WHIMPERS]
- Go. Come on.

Dad, what's happening?

It's gonna be okay, baby girl.

It's all there.

- k*ll them.
- Dad!

RENE: No!

Don't! Don't, don't!

Dad!

[RENE SCREAMING]

HARRY: I tapped into a security cam.

It's grainy and the light's low,

but...

RENE [CRYING OUT]: Dad! No!

HARRY: Oh, man, this is not good.

When you're done, dump the bodies

in the furnace over here.

CLAY: Mo, you don't
think I made another copy

just in case I didn't make it back?

No.

I don't think you'd play
with your daughter's life.

But if you did, we'll find that person,

and we'll k*ll them, too.

Guys, we're-we're not gonna make it.

Clay and Rene are about to die.

ROBYN: Harry,
you said there was some low light.

Cut the power.

Cut the pow... Why? Cut the...

Right. Cut the power.

WESTIE: Hey.

WESTIE 2: Where'd it go?

WESTIE 3: I can't see anything.
What's going on?

MO: Everyone relax.

WESTIE 2: What's going on?

Doesn't matter, we gotta find them!

You see anything?

I told you I'd see you again
real soon, didn't I?

No tricks to save you this time.

I wouldn't bet on that.

OFFICER: NYPD!

[g*nf*re]

[CRIES OUT]

Get down. Get your
hands up right now, right now!

OFFICER 2: Put your g*n down now!

OFFICER: Everybody's under arrest.

He's trying to destroy the thumb drive

in the furnace. Don't do it!

What the hell? Where is it?

CLAY: Looking for this?

OFFICER: Face down!

Come on. Let's go.

DANTE: Give me the other hand.

Well, with that thumb drive
and Clay's testimony,

you're going to jail for a long time.

And if you ask me,
you're getting off easy.

What do you care about any of this?

Because a little girl lost her father.

But at least one day
she'll know he's a hero

for stopping a dirtbag like you.

[SCOFFS]

Let's go.

[INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER]

- Get away from me.
- CLAY: I'm so sorry.

- I really am.
- Sorry?

I was just kidnapped because of you.

I know.

But believe it or not,
I did all of this to help you.

Help me?

I understand you're upset, baby girl,

but I want to fix this.

Yeah? Well, you're ten years
too late for that.

Just leave me alone.

She'll forgive you one day.

Or not.

You know, that was pretty smart,
turning the lights out, though.

I was trying to give you
a chance to get away.

Swiping that thumb drive back from Mo,

that was pretty smooth.

[CHUCKLES] Yeah.

All right, you guys be good.

Hey, Clay.

Listen, let us help you.

Let us help you get a job,

- give you the community that you deserve.
- I don't know.

Think I'll take my chances out there.

Why?

'Cause out there I answer
to no one but myself.

Nobody to let down

or be let down by.

It's safer that way.

♪ Truth is I wouldn't come back
if I could... ♪

I feel like we failed Clay.

Sometimes we can't save everyone,

but we can still make a difference.

DANTE: Rene's still alive because of us.

Hunter doesn't have to
look over his shoulder,

Sara gets closure.

I get that. It's why I love what we do.

It's just, I have
a special place in my heart

for those like me
who served and came back

and felt all alone.

I mean, I came back to family...

...and it was still hard.

But I-I can't imagine

coming home and having no one.

Hey, you all right?

Yeah.

Actually, no.

Um...

I just got news
that an old friend of mine

who I served with, Zoe,

she was struggling, and, um...

...she took her own life.

HARRY: Oh, Mel, I'm so sorry.

I-I didn't... I-I didn't know.

I didn't want to talk about it.

I didn't feel ready
to talk about it till now.

There's just, there's too many

Zoes and Clays out there.

So I'm gonna start
a veterans support group,

and I am going to try
to help those who feel alone.

And I'm gonna give them
what we have here:

a family.

That's what I'm talking about.

- I love that, babe.
- Great idea.

Anything you need, let us know.

Appreciate it.

[BABY FUSSING]

Sara.

I came here to tell you that
I spoke with the D.A.'s office.

They are looking into
the corruption from Mo Brown

all the way to City Hall.

Heads are gonna roll because
of the info that Michael provided.

That's great to hear.

And Hunter and I will
keep Michael's dream alive

and finish the Vestige
homeless living facility

with new contractors,
and the city behind it.

[SIGHS]

Thank you.

No, thank you.

You've given Mary and I...

some closure.

Is this Mary?

[CHUCKLES] It is.

Would you like to hold her?

Oh, sure. [CHUCKLES]

- Oh, come here, come here.
- [BABY FUSSING]

Oh, I know,

- I know, huh?
- [SIGHS]

Hi.

I've heard so much about you.

I hear your daddy was
a very special guy.

So was mine.

You know, we are the lucky ones.

Yes. Hi, beautiful.
