[SABRINA SOHAL]
Previously, on Allegiance...

[SHARPLY] Sir, could we
consider that, sometimes,

we may have locked up the wrong people?

[OLIVER CAMPBELL] I'm going
to give you an opportunity

to consider if you really intended

to disparage the integrity

of all the hard-working
men and women of the CFPC

with that kind of question.

[HUSHED] Sabrina's gone solo on
an unsanctioned investigation.

I'm trying to cover for her, but...

Uh, that's not like her.

Sabrina, where're you at?

[ZAK] Hey. Call me back immediately.

We're not just talking probation.

This could be your job.

That was a direct threat.

[SABRINA] It was suicide-by-cop!

He pointed the g*n so you
would pull the trigger!

- How could I know?
- You couldn't.

Assistant Commissioner Oliver Campbell

conspired to frame my father
for treason a year ago.

I know this, because I stole

the sealed evidence the
Crown based their case on,

and I can prove that that evidence

was fabricated and that it was planted,

but I cannot continue to work for a man

that continues to abuse his position.

[CAR ENGINE REVVING]

[OPERATOR] 9-1-1.
What's your emergency?

Yeah, I just saw a hit-and-run.

A woman who got rear-ended...

she got out of her car,

and then the other car just
rammed her and took off.

Sir, where are you right now?

- Daddy?
- Honey, hang on.


they both drove away...

Daddy, look.

[♪]

[ALARMED] Sammy... give it to me.

[♪]

[♪]

[AJEET SOHAL] Okay, look. I need
to do the caucus meeting remotely.

I'll know more soon, okay?

- Hey.
- How you doing?

- Good.
- Were you able to sleep?

- Yeah.
- Yeah?

Yeah, maybe... five hours?

The sessions of
visualizations, breathing...

it's helping.

Good.

Healing takes the time it takes.

Last night, that wasn't
what was keeping me up.

I got a call.

- Okay.
- It was a friend of Ish's...

they're starting a
national civil liberties

and restorative justice organization.

They offered you a job?

I said that I would think about it.

Is that Mom's gutka?

Since when...

It's what she would've reached for...

the minute she knew you were safe.

[♪]

[PHONE BUZZING]

It's me.

It's Bolton.

Uh, yes, sir. Good morning.

May I ask... ?

I'm on my way.

[♪]

[♪]

[KNOCKING]

Good morning.

Superintendent.

How're you holding up?

I'm good. I'm, uh, I'm okay.

Dr. Joshi is very good, I've found.

Asks good questions.

Have you spoken with Inspector Degas?

You mean Superintendent Degas?

Yeah, I saw her before she left.

Regina's lucky to have her.

So were we.

Okay, to update you on what's transpired

since the information

you shared with us
about Oliver Campbell.

The Commissioner's flown in,

as well as members of the
Management Advisory Board.

There's a meeting upstairs as we speak.

About the possible
charges against you...

right now,

"business as usual"

is the best way we have

to express our faith in your integrity.

Dr. Joshi... [ENVELOPE CRINKLING]

... has given you the green light.

[THUMP]

If you're feeling ready.

Uh, what about the C.I.U. investigation?

The civilian complaints against him?

They're discussing that upstairs too.

It'll take due process.

Which will take time.

Sabrina.

You have open cases and a
partner coming out of C.I.U.

because of a sh**ting
you were involved with.

We'll all know more about the
direction this is gonna take

by the end of the day,

but we need you back on the job now.

One shift...

that's all I ask.

Then we'll talk.

Zak's with the C.I.U. now?

Mm-hmm.

[INDISTINCT CONVERSATION]

Ish...

what's all this?

[ISHAAN] Uh, our bosses have
released us from the dungeon.

We are now grown-a*s
"Civilian Investigators,"

for going above and beyond
on the Campbell file.

What are you doing here?

Waiting for my partner to
be cleared by your people.

I'll pick first desk.

Do you know what's going on?

No, I thought you handed in your badge.

Yeah, depends what

the Brass says about
Campbell, end of day.

Right now, I'm here
for Zak, if he needs me.

They've had a week already.

We've given them twice what they need

to drag Campbell's a*s outta here.

So I talked to your friend last night.

Oh, sh*t! Okay. And?

I liked what she had to say.

Sab, take the job and run.

Thank you, Detective Kalaini.

Your requisition for
your firearm and badge.

Thank you.

Hope not to see either
of you here again.

Hey. See you soon.

- Hey.
- See you at home.

How'd it go in there? How're you doing?

I'm good.

I know that you're good. I just...

- if you need anything, you know.
- [BOTH PHONES START BUZZING]

Attempted m*rder. Hit-and-run.

g*n with a sil*ncer found at the scene.

You coming?

Yeah.

[VINCE] You know what
else they do? Dessert Pizza.

Apple, cherry, strawberry.

I know. It's wrong. Right?
I mean, it's wrong, but... mm!

We are not going to "Elvis Pizza".

Oh... oh, look. Oh, look what I have!

I have Sergeant stripes.

Yeah. Well, I'd like to
see you live long enough

to make "Staff Sergeant," bud.

Okay, where do you wanna go?

I don't know.

I feel like a salad.

[CHORTLES DERISIVELY] Oh!

Come on.

Hey. So, uh...

what was that all about, this morning?

What?

The Commissioner's in town,
meeting with the board.

Saw you coming out of there.

I know a few of those guys.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

You know, I heard something's going down

with the Assistant Commissioner.

[♪]

[GILLIAN] Sarge, we have a hit-and-run.

Two vehicles involved.

The subjects may be armed.

Heading northbound, 124th at 68.

High rate of speed.

- [RADIO SQUELCHING]
- 6103. On our way.

[GILLIAN] Pursuit authorized.

Use caution... extreme
threat to civilians.

[♪]

[♪]

- We need roadblocks.
- Copy.

We're full of side streets,
and they're on all of them.

All units, B.O.L.O.!

A grey SUV, no licence,

black hatchback SUV, no make...

spot-checked on Scott
Road, heading northbound.

[♪]

[SIRENS WAILING]

[VINCE] Eyes on. We have a
black SUV stuck in a ditch...

Scott Road and Grasspoint.

Put your hands on the
wheel, where I can see 'em!

[LOUDER] Put your hands on the wheel!

[VINCE] Suspect vehicle still at large.

You okay, ma'am?

Yeah? Look at me.

Okay. I want you to
put the vehicle in park.

Shut the vehicle down.
Step out of the car.

[ENGINE RUMBLES OFF]

Step out of the vehicle.

Okay. I'm sorry.

[GABBY] It's okay.

- It's okay. Step out. Nice and slow.
- Requesting Paramedics.

[GABBY] You hurt anything
besides your head?

[♪]

What's going on?

We've lost eyes on the second vehicle,

but I've got a partial plate.

Find out who owns it.

Started as a rear-end,
but it looks targeted.


scene, with a sil*ncer.

I need you to go downstairs
and interview the victim.

The grey SUV is still in the wind.

Are you with us?

[♪]

Let's go.

[♪]

What was that about?

[♪]

- [VINCE] Hey.
- Hey. What do we got?

Hit-and-run victim's
name is Sarah Moro.

We're running her I.D.

Paramedics are doing their thing.

She doesn't have a lot to say, so far.

Yeah. She said she
followed the other vehicle

around the corner,

swerved to avoid a pedestrian,

and lost control of her vehicle.

- Do you guys mind?
- Yeah, be our guest.

Cheers.

Gabby was digging around
about Campbell this morning.

Oh, of course he was.

I'm surprised you're
here. I wasn't sure...

Yeah, me neither, but I owe my partner.

Let's see how things go today.

You heard anything?

Commissioner's meeting with the board.

Yeah. Well, when I gave
my statement this morning,

they seemed mostly interested
in the civilian complaints.

You know, the biased and
compromised investigations

that happened under his leadership.

I gave 'em my old notebooks.

- Thanks, Vince.
- What're you thanking me for? Huh?

It's about time, right? It's about time.

All right, I should, uh...

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

- Nice jacket, by the way.
- Thanks.

- Vince?
- Yeah, Gillian. Go.

I got a hit on the partial.

It's a rental.

Vista Car, in Delta.

Yeah, give me their number.

[SABRINA] Sarah Moro?

Hi. Detective Sohal.

Can you tell us what happened today?

Yeah. Um...

She rear-ended me,

and then I got outta my car,

you know, just to say, like,

"What the hell?" You know?

And then she just...

rammed me with her car.

Are you all right?

Yeah. I'm okay.

Paramedics say abrasions, contusion,

- possible concussion.
- No, I don't have a concussion.

And there was a g*n found on the scene?

Yeah.

Which is why you should
be looking for her...

not talking to me.

And she threatened you with it?

She pointed it at me through the window,

and I grabbed it,

and I just got really scared.

I started running,

and then she just
rammed me with the car.

I don't know what happened to the g*n.

Why didn't you call the police?

She was going to get away.

I-I didn't have my cell phone.

I was just going to the store.

You put yourself and a lot
of other people in danger.

I mean, I guess, I just...
I wasn't thinking straight.

- We'll find her.
- You get a description?

Yes, boss.

Uh, let's get you to the hospital,
get you checked out,

then we'll follow up with you.

Oh, I don't need the hospital.

It's not a suggestion, ma'am.

Is there someone that
we can contact for you?

No. Um, it's just me.

[ZAK] Okay. These
guys'll take care of you.

Hey! We're all done here.

"It's just me."

Sounds familiar.

[♪]

Hey!

A few breadcrumbs.

The other driver's
name is Lori Harford...



She rented her car at a mall in Surrey,

but lives all the way up in Kitimat.

What was she doing so far from home?

Well, the guy on the phone
said that she seemed stressed,

like she was in a hurry.

Uh, store has exterior CCTV cameras,

and it picked Lori being
dropped off by someone.

- Vince?
- Yeah.

The car that dropped Lori Harford off

is owned by a Nancy Pike,

and I hope you got your CrossPass cards,

'cause she's a resident
of Point Roberts.

[♪]

- All right. We'll head there.
- All right.

- Thanks, Vince.
- Yeah, yeah.

[♪]

- Hello.
- Hi.

I.D.s, please?

Yep.

[MURMURS TO HIMSELF]

Oh, yeah. I got the heads
up from your detachment.

The Sheriff's home in
Washington Sundays, Mondays,

but he's on his way in.

Well, we just need to
question a resident for now.

You're authorized to go ahead.

[ZAK] Thank you.

[SABRINA] Thanks, Officer.

[OFFICER] No problem, y'all.

[ZAK] Looks like it's two
blocks down and to the left.

What's the deal with this place?

What, Point Roberts?

Uh, technically, it's
part of Washington.

They used the 49th
Parallel to draw the border,

and Point Roberts dangled just over it,

into the Georgia Strait.

So, if you live here, you gotta
show your papers both ways,

- just to go to the mall.
- That's a pain in the a*s.

Yeah, but it's kinda nice.

The border keeps it
small-town and safe.

Yeah. I dropped her off at the mall.

Lori didn't say anything
about renting a car.

You know her well?

She moved in next
door, about a week ago?

The family hasn't really left the house.

- There's family?
- Excuse me, just a moment.

Husband and a daughter.

I was glad when she asked me for a ride.

Thought it'd be a chance
to get to know her,

but she's not really a talker, I guess.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Is Lori okay?

We're not sure yet.

How did she seem to you?

Honestly? Preoccupied, kinda nervous.

Excuse me a sec. I gotta
get this stuff in the freezer.

Sure.

Take care.

Looks like no one's
home, and the door's ajar.

Where's her family?

Let's check out the house?

- [CLAPS PAD SHUT]
- Let's go.

No weapons.

Yeah, no boxes, nothing to unpack.

If this was a holiday
rental, it'd be better set up.

Kid's a reader.

[♪]

And an artist.

[BLINDS SWISH AND CLATTER]

[♪]

[SABRINA] Isn't Lori dark-haired?

[ZAK] Yeah.

[SABRINA] Maybe this
isn't a holiday rental.

- What are you thinking?
- There are rumours

that Point Roberts is used
for witness protection.

What if this is a safehouse?

With a border crossing...

That makes this town the safest
gated community you could find.

Could be.

Let me make a call.

- [TREADMILL CHUGGING]
- [PHONE RINGING]

Snore Suppression Services.

How can I direct your call?

Nate, uh, question for you.

Or can I send you through
to the Denial Department?

I'm gonna put you on speaker with Zak.

Wait, hold on. Are you...
you back on the job?

Nate, can you tell us if
the name "Lori Harford"

intersects with any
Witness Protection cases?

Uh, hold on, is there...
is there an immediate threat to safety?

She was involved in an
altercation this morning,

following a collision on the road.

There was a hit-and-run,
and a firearm found on the scene.

In Surrey?

[ZAK] You can make a
public safety exception.

[SABRINA] Nate, we need to find her.

She's got a family.

Yeah. Yeah, no, I know
that she has a family.

The Crown is all over this case.

Look. Uh...

Lori Harford is actually
"Lorraine Dalligan".

I don't know her well,

but she's a defense lawyer who's
been in protection about a year.

- In Kitimat?
- Yeah, that's correct,

with husband, Harry,
and her daughter, Mariel.

What can you tell us about the case?

Command? Hit-and-run
subject we're looking for

is in Witness Protection.

Her name is Lorraine Dalligan,

lives with her husband and daughter...

whereabouts unknown.

I'm sending a picture and names.

They may look different now.

[GILLIAN] Copy that. Stand by.

Now, look, this case is
bit above my pay grade,

but, I mean, you might have an in.

The defence firm she worked
at before she entered protection

was Portman, Moreau, & Freed.

All right. Thanks, Nate.

[♪]

If Lorraine is in protection,

we may have got this backwards.

Sarah?

She didn't want to be
taken to the hospital...

No friends or family,

wanted to get out of
there as fast as possible.

So is Sarah the threat?

It's a classic carjacking move.

You get yourself into
a fender-bender...

it's the perfect excuse to
get up-close to your victim

while they roll the window down.

All right, so if the g*n was Sarah's,

she could've dropped it

when Lori, or Lorraine, rammed her.

We got to find Lorraine
and secure the family.

[♪]

Command, we're heading back to
the hospital to re-question Sarah.

She may have been the hostile party.

We need a thorough search of her vehicle

before it gets towed,

- and a deep-dive on her I.D.
- Copy that. Stand by.

I've got an in at Lorraine's law firm.

[SABRINA] Hey, Uncle Max...

[MAX] Well! Here's a voice
I haven't heard in too long.

How you doing, kiddo?

Look, your dad didn't say much.

- All I know...
- I-I'm good.

I'm not calling about that.

I'm gonna put you on
speaker with my partner, Zak.

[BEEP]

Max, I have to ask you
about Lorraine Dalligan.

[GLASSES HIT DESK]

Lorraine?

Why? What's going on?

I know it's a big ask.

Okay, look, I'm gonna
tell you what I know,

and it's not everything,

'cause I don't know everything,
and I shouldn't be telling you this...

this is privileged, okay?

But, holy hell...

I respect Lorraine.

What she must be going through...

making the choice she did...

- What was that?
- She took on a client

involved in a huge
drug-smuggling case...

cocaine originating in Peru

has been flowing

through Central America
and into the Fraser Surrey Docks.

Wait. He's in remand?

[MAX] He is, and he is
a nasty son-of-a-b*tch.

I didn't say that.

I don't speak ill of our clients.

He's a local member
of the E.D.S. cartel,

and he is going to trial

for buying, distribution,
and laundering.

Max, how did Lorraine
go from defence lawyer

to Witness Protectee?

Lorraine heard something.

Client didn't know
that she spoke Spanish.

What did she hear?

That, I don't know,
but, whatever it was,

she made the choice to drop the case...

and turn witness for the Crown.

- What?
- She broke confidentiality.

She destroyed her career
to do what she did,

and, believe me, these
are not delightful people.

She put her life on the line...

her family's safety on the line.

Well, there's been times in my career

I wish I had her guts.

[SABRINA] All right. Thanks, Max.

No, whoa-whoa-whoa, hold on.

Why is she even in town right now?

The trial doesn't start till next week.

Uh, we... we found this note...

Uh, "Monday, 8:45 A.M.

P106. No breakfast."

Max, is there a chance that her husband

might have needed surgery this morning?

You said "P"?

[SABRINA] Yeah.

I've been to Surrey General
a dozen times with Noa.

"P" is Pediatric.

[♪]

Uh... yeah, thanks, Uncle Max.

Sabrina, you wanted a
search of Sarah Moro's car?

Yeah. Go, Vince.

We found a stash box
inside the spare wheel well.

Two burner phones,

and a*mo, 9-mill.

Command, we have reason to believe

Sarah Moro is affiliated
with the E.D.S. cartel.

That tracks.

Looks like the I.D. she was using

might have been stolen.

Okay. Heading to the hospital.

Call security. Get uniforms on the door.

[SIREN BEGINS WAILING]

[♪]

[PHONE RINGING]

[g*nshots POP TWICE]

[FRAUGHT] Please, please.
Pick up. Where are you?

I don't know what to do!

[BOLTON] Shots fired!

We have a report of shots fired

in the vicinity of Surrey General.

[BRAKES SCREECHING]

- CFPC!
- Help!

- Drop the g*n! Drop the g*n now!
- I-I can't!

- Show me your hands!
- I can't!

There's a badge in my back pocket!

- Got him?
- Yeah, I got him.

[ZAK] We need a doctor!

We're CFPC... witness protection detail.

There was a white cargo
van. Three suspects.

They took our detail!

Command, we got an officer down.

Three suspects have fled the scene.

They've just abducted
Harry and Mariel Dalligan.

[♪]

[♪]

[BOLTON] All units within a


be on the lookout for a white cargo van.

If spotted, do not engage.

Three armed suspects, two abductees...

a father and 10-year-old daughter.

[OPERATOR] 9-1-1.
What is your emergency?

My name is Lorraine Dalligan...

D-A-L-L-I-G-A-N.

I'm a witness protectee.

I-I was just attacked
by a woman with a g*n.

Ma'am, where are you?

Tsawwassen, heading to Point Roberts.

Uh, I can't reach my
husband and daughter.

They're at Surrey General. I...

[PANICKING] I think I'm being followed!

Stay on the line. I'm
connecting to you to CFPC.

We have a parallel priority call!

Direct available units to Tsawwassen.

We now have a CFPC
witness protectee in a grey SUV,

going south on 56th Street,
towards Point Roberts.

Copy. We're on our way.

[THUD]

In pursuit is a black Mustang...

Driver's likely armed and dangerous.

[VINCE] Command, 6103.

We're close. We're on 52nd.

Sir, we're still waiting on
the Point Roberts Sheriff.

Get me the U.S. Border Agent.

Already on the line. Patching you in.

Officer, this is
Superintendent Eli Bolton, CFPC.

The second this vehicle crosses over,

drop that gate again.

Okay, yeah, I got a Mustang coming.

[♪]

Okay, gate up!

[♪]

Okay, gate down!

[ENGINE ROARS, TIRES SQUEAL]

The car's turning back,
heading north outbound now.

Black Mustang. Partial plates.

[♪]

Tsawwassen-area units,

our suspect car is headed
north on 56th Street.

It's a black Mustang,
we have partial plates,

beginning delta-tango-Romeo-six.

Let's get a roadblock set up!

We have a unit with a drone.

What if we let it keep driving,
and track it from a distance?

In case it leads us to home base, do it.



[DOORS SHUTTING NEARBY,
INDISTINCT EXCHANGE]

[SABRINA] Hey!

Where's Lorraine?

She's in her car. We got
a border guard with her.

[GILLIAN] We have eyes
on the suspect vehicle.

- Let's go.
- I'll stay, talk to Lorraine.

Take Gabby. I'll wait reinforcements.

[GABBY] Command, you
got a 20 on that Mustang?

Gillian, have we secured Sarah?

She was caught on CCTV,
slipping out of the hospital

30 minutes ago.

Van must have picked her up.

[RAPPING SOFTLY]

[WINDOW WHIRRING]

I'm Sergeant Brambilla with the CFPC.

This is Detective Sohal.

Hi, Lorraine. I'm Sabrina.
Do you mind if I take a seat?

How did they know?

How did they know they
would be at the hospital?

Has anyone contacted you
with demands or threats?

Mariel, she's ill. I-I...

Yes, and we want to know more
about that, but, right now,

can you tell us about the
people we're dealing with?

We heard the 9-1-1 call.

It's the E.D.S. cartel...

the Escuadron de Sombras.

They're based in Guatemala...

Connected everywhere.

Any idea where they base
their operations locally?

They have a decentralized
pop-up system...

lots of safehouses, for security.

The Mustang's taking the 64th Ave exit

off the 91, heading east.

The suspect car is headed to the
southwest corner of Sunshine Hills.

Why are they after you?

A year ago, I took on
Rafael Travenza as a client.

He and his partner used to head
operations in the Lower Mainland.

I overheard a conversation

relating to their... business model.

[BREATH SHAKES]

The E.D.S. had been recruiting children

to courier drugs across the
remote jungles of Guatemala,

towards the coast.

They've arrived.

Corner of Finch and


Confirming a white
van also at the house.

[BOLTON] Okay. Stage in the
parking lot, one block south.

We have vulnerable hostages.
We need to move fast.

[ZAK] Copy.

The authorities got close,

they were ready to
take the kids in, but...

the E.D.S. must have
had a spotter, because...

[CHOKES UP] ... they
shot three children.

[♪]

To prevent them from
identifying their contacts?

The conversation I overheard...

they were just ready to start again.

Different children,
different village, new route.

Knowing if the law
got too close again...

When I heard that, I just...

I couldn't.

This is why they need you

to keep your mouth shut next week?

Rafael's just one player.

This is an international cartel.

I-I just, I don't know,

I thought I could help
crack it open or something,

but I just... now I...

- [BANG]
- CFPC!

[OVERLAPPING] CFPC!

CFPC!

Hands! Hands!

On the ground!

On the ground now! On the ground!

- Now! Now!
- On the ground!

On the ground! Hands behind your back!

[GRUNTING]

Stop it!

Downstairs! Clear!

- I got this. Gabby?
- [GABBY] Yeah, I'm good.

Go!

- Gabby!
- Yeah? Sarge, come keep an eye.

Sir, I'm with the CFPC.

You're safe.

- Harry?
- Yeah, why?

- Are you hurt?
- Where is she?

We don't know. I'm sorry.

- Mariel! Mariel?
- Harry.

- Mariel!
- Harry. Hey.

- I'm sorry, she's not in the house.
- No.

Mr. Dalligan, did you hear anything

about where she may have been taken?

I said she's gonna be okay!
How's she gonna be okay?

How's she gonna survive this?

We'll do everything we can to find her.

No! You don't understand!

[PHONE BUZZING]

Zak?

I have Lorraine's husband.
He wants to talk to her.

It's Harry.

Harry!

Oh, my God, Harry, are you okay?

[SHAKILY] I'm, uh... I'm good, I'm fine.

- Mariel?
- She's, uh...

I don't know. They've
taken her somewhere.

Oh, my God!

She's-She's okay, Lor.
She was doing that breathing.

- [SOBBING]
- She was so brave,

and like the Detective said,

they have nothing to gain from
harming her right now, so...

Oh, she must be so scared!

I shouldn't have left the safehouse.

I should've just
listened and stayed. I...

[ZAK] Mrs. Dalligan,

we're looking for Mariel now,

and we'll bring your
husband back to you,

- as soon as it's safe.
- You have to find her.

[DISCONNECT TONE BUZZES]

Lorraine, why did you
risk going to the hospital?

My daughter has a heart condition and...

she was supposed to have

a temporary defibrillator
implanted today.

She had a mild cardiac
arrest in the pool...

emotional stress,

which can make her heart just... stop.

We taught her breathing techniques

to help her control it.

[SOBS] She was so scared.

She wanted her mom.

You couldn't clear it with your handler?

He said it wasn't safe.

[SOBBING]

Oh, my... my baby girl needed me.

[SOBBING]

She needed her mom.

[SNIFFLING]

So when I saw my neighbour leaving,

I just...

they must have spotted
me, but I-I just...

- I never would've, I...
- [CONSTABLE] Sarge?

I should've listened! [SOBS]

We're gonna keep you safe,

and we got the whole
force looking for her.

[CONSTABLE] I see something.

[SOBS]

Last chance, Alex.

You too, Sarah.

Where'd they take the girl?

[♪]

[CHAIR SCRAPES FLOOR]

Hey, Alex.

Hey!

What could she do to
make your life worse

than where we are right now, huh?

What is plan with Mariel?

Is she being held as leverage,
so Lorraine doesn't talk?

[♪]

Abducting a child gets
you up to life in prison.

Anything happens to her?

Life becomes a guarantee.

Sir! Something in the
garage you should see.

[♪]

[♪]

Crown's Office... courthouse.

Point Roberts border.

Got pictures of family...

They've been waiting for a sign
their target was back in town.

[QUIETLY ALARMED] Detective?

sh*t.

Where'd you see it?

Right there, behind
that tree, right there.

Command, east of 56th street,
we have motion in the trees.

Do you have a visual?

It's hard to see,
through the tree cover.

[ZAK] Command, we're in the
garage of the cartel house.

- We found something.
- [RUSTLING IN THE TREES]

Stand by. Stand by, stand by.

[GIRL SOBS]

Stand down! Weapons down.

We have a young girl,
a yellow backpack...

likely Mariel Dalligan.

- It's Mariel.
- Mariel?

Just outside the gate!

[VINCE] Mariel?

Hi! My name is Vince.

It's okay.

Mariel!

- I'm coming, baby!
- Mommy!

Officers at the border... fall back!

- Fall back!
- Mariel! Stop!

[♪]

Call in EMS and EDU immediately.

- [LORRAINE SHOUTING]
- Just try not to move!

I'm sorry, I didn't
mean to scare you, honey.

- What are you doing?
- Just stop right there, okay?

Try not to move.

[VINCE] Sorry. I didn't
mean to scare you.

Just try not to move, okay, sweetheart?

All personnel, maintain a minimum
distance from Mariel of 35 metres!

- I can't let you go!
- Why not?

It's Mariel.

She might have a b*mb
inside her backpack!

[WAILING] Mommy!

[SCREAMING] Mariel!

[WAILING] Mommy!

Back, get back. 35 metres.

[SCREAMING] Mariel!

Lorraine, I'm so sorry.

She needs me!

Vince!

[MARIEL] Mommy!

Lorraine, Lorraine, you can't go there.

- It's not safe.
- That's my daughter!

I understand! Just-Just...

You can't go there. It's not safe.

Lorraine, you said that
Mariel can't get excited.

Okay? You need to stay
calm, for your daughter.

[FORCED CALM] It's okay, baby!

- It's gonna be okay.
- [MARIEL GASPS]

Do your breathing.

[EXHALING]

[BREATH CATCHES]

[WHEEZES]

Vince, you take cover
behind the building.

- I'll go talk with Mariel.
- I'm coming with you!

Hey! Only one officer down-range.

- I got this.
- [LORRAINE MOUTHS WORDS]

All right, Lorraine, let's
go. Everybody, move back.

- 35 metres.
- Mariel!

- [WEEPING]
- Mariel!

Hi! My name is Sabrina.

I need you to stay real still, okay?

I want my mom!

[SABRINA] I know, honey,

and she wants to be with you, too,

but we need to make sure
that you're both safe first.

But I want to see her!

Mariel, wait. Can we
just talk for a bit?

Mariel, your backpack...

if we go real slow, and gentle,

do you think you might be
able to take it off for me?

[SOBS]

I can't.

It's stuck!

What's wrong? Why can't
she take off her backpack?

[VINCE] We don't know
anything for sure right now,

we're still waiting on the specialists.

Oh, my God.

Officers...

whoever released Mariel
might still be nearby,

with a line-of-sight detonator.

Command, what's the
E.T.A. on the b*mb squad?

Gabinski, b*mb squad's en
route. What can we tell 'em?

I'm looking at nails and
ball bearings, detonators...

and Semtex.

[UNNERVED] Semtex?

Is there anything suggesting
whether that device

is motion-sensitive, or on a timer?

It's hard to tell from
what's been left behind.

Any, uh, burner phones,

or-or garage door opener components?

Negative.

[BOLTON] Secure the area.

Mariel, your backpack...

have you had it with you the whole time,

after you were picked up by the van?

[SIRENS WAILING IN
DISTANCE, ON APPROACH]

Did they take it, and
then give it back to you,

before bringing you here?

[TEARFULLY] They said "Sorry."

They said I was just a kid

and I should go home and be with my mom.

[♪]

[GILLIAN] Sabrina, Zak is
pulling up with Harry Dalligan.

[LORRAINE] Does she know?

- No.
- [SOBS] Okay.

Detective Sohal's focusing
on trying to keep her calm,

and maybe you can help us with that.

[SABRINA] Mariel? Your-Your mom told me

you've got some really
special breathing.

Can you show me what
that breathing looks like?

[TRIES TO CALM HER
BREATHING THROUGH SOBS]

[EXHALES DEMONSTRATIVELY]
You're doing great!

Nice and slow.

[EXHALING]

[♪]

[SABRINA] Yeah, that's it.

One more?

Nice, slow breathing.

[DOORS THUDDING]

Sohal. I'm here.

Get behind the car.

[HUSHED] 15 seconds. I could run,

get the backpack off,
and get her to safety.

[ZAK] No!

[LOUDLY] And in?

- [WHEEZING GASP]
- Real slow.

[HUSHED] Her heart could fail.

[ZAK] Sabrina, no!

The b*mb squad just arrived.

They have the training, the gear.

We don't know if it's on a timer,

remote-detonated, or on a tripwire.

[HUSHED] The stress could
k*ll her just as fast.

Let them do their job.

[♪]

[SOBBING AND WHEEZING]

Tell us... Tell us
what she really loves.

Ducks.

She knows everything about them.

There were a lot of them up North...

the multi-coloured
ones, she loves them.

[SABRINA] Mariel?

What do you call all those...
those fancy-coloured ducks?

[WHEEZES] Um... Harlequins?

Harlequins? Yeah, that's right.

Okay, one more big breath.

In, real slow...

[SOBS]

I can't.

You know, we used to
have them at the P.N.E.

There was a pond there.

You know what we called
them? "Squeakers"!

[♪]

Hey, Mariel, there's a
man wearing a funny suit...

with a big bubble hat...
he's here to help you, okay?

Stay calm. Stay calm. Breathe.

Remember to breathe in, real slow.

I'm gonna breathe with you, okay?

One...

two...

three...

You just keep breathing.

[♪]

[SNIPPING]

[MARIEL WEEPING]

[SABRINA] Come to me. Mariel!

Mariel? Come to me!

- Mariel! No!
- [SABRINA] Come to me now!

[SOBBING AND WHEEZING]

[GASPS]

- Stand by for the all-clear.
- Mariel!

Sabrina!

[SIRENS WAILING]

[♪]

Look, she could have died.

You can't just keep winging it.

Just like with Stephen Rechy.

[♪]

I had to k*ll him.

You gave me no choice.

I put two b*ll*ts in the chest of a man

who should be facing
justice, instead of dead.

- I had to go aft...
- You had options!

[♪]

You could have trusted us,

trusted me,

but, instead, you chose to go rogue...

to cut off communication with
your partner, your team...

paralyze the detachment...

because we thought you might be dead,

leaving everyone else
to pick up the pieces

and put their own lives
at risk to get you safe,

while you enjoy the lucky streak

of your one-woman show called
"Following My Instincts."

I didn't...

Zak, I'm sorry.

I was brought here to be your partner.

Partners need trust.

It's like Bolton said...

are you with us?

[♪]

[SIRENS WAILING]

How's Mariel doing?

She's, um...

she's stabilized, for now.

- Thank God.
- That's great news. And Harry's with her?

Yeah.

Lorraine, there is a cross-border

investigation underway, focused on

the three child couriers in Guatemala.

We have liaison officers on the ground,

coordinating with local law enforcement.

There are new leads.

Considering everything,

maybe there's another
way that we can put a stop

to what's been going
on down there, without...

putting you on the stand.

So you don't have to
continue putting yourself,

or your family, at risk.

[LORRAINE EXHALES DEEPLY]

[SNIFFLING]

In the, um,

in the hospital, with
Mariel and Harry...

I was ready to walk away.

And then...

I thought about what
almost happened to my kid...

putting a b*mb on her so
they could k*ll us both.

I just... I think about the other kids,

and the other mothers...

I have to testify.

Okay.

I did not come this far
to only come this far.

[KNOCKING AT WINDOW]

[SABRINA] Excuse me.

- [SHUTS DOOR]
- Um, Bolton's waiting to see you.

- Thanks, Gill.
- Yeah.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Sir.

Detective Sohal.

I wanted to let you
know that, as of today,

Oliver Campbell is formally suspended.

He'll be facing charges of
breach of trust, corruption,

and obstruction of justice,

as a result of the Stephen Rechy case.

Suspended?

Accountable?

Well, this'll be kept out of the press,

for as long as the process takes,

but the more serious charge...

of Campbell's role in
the framing of your father

for treason...

that never happened.

If he's charged, so are you...

which could send you to jail,

which the Service would prefer to avoid,

especially given that you've just been

formally accredited as full Detective...

congratulations.

This institution...

the CFPC...

is changing...

but there's work to be done,

and keeping an officer as valuable,

and, frankly, as visible, as
you within our ranks, as a...

- Token?
- No, as an aspirational figure.

So, my own crime never happened...

like Campbell's?

The Blue Wall protects us all?

What is it with you?

Huh?

Now you listen to me.

This is a moment.

It's an opportunity.

You're gonna lay down your
badge whenever things get tough,

you should just walk away now.

I don't need you on my watch.

One last time...

are you with us?

I didn't come this far...

to only come this far.

[GRAVEL CRUNCHING]

So?

She's not the only one on this crusade.

Schelling tells me there's
another cop backing her.

You know who she's got
deep in her pockets?

Stay close to Brambilla.
Keep me informed.

[♪]

[CAMPBELL] If I have to take care

of him and Sohal together, I will.

With respect, Oliver...

I think I'm done working your beat.

I understand your son is
filing an appeal from prison.

I know the judge
presiding over that case.

I could help, or I could make sure
that that appeal dies on the vine.

I can also make sure that
every inmate in that prison

knows that his father's a cop.

You'll be my eyes and ears.

[♪]

Remember what we teach
you on the street...

when you think it's over...

[♪]

... that's when it gets dangerous.
