Big lunch or gory evidence?

I'm not sure...

Ugh...

Could be both?

I found it in the back seat of my car and I'm pretty sure I didn't leave it there.

Are you sure?

Frank wants to see us.

This can't be good.

Look, we knew this was coming, so let's just cut to the chase.

Okay, Diaz is gone, and he won't be coming back, which means I'm gonna be short an officer, so I'm gonna ask you all to make sure that...

Wait, wait. I'm sorry, sir.

Chris is gone?

Friday was his last shift.

He's starting with Timmins PD today.

He didn't wanna make a big deal of it.

You know how Diaz is.

Look, this job... people come, people go.

So we might as well get used to it.

All right? So let's just get out there and do what we're here to do.



You haven't heard from him at all?

He didn't even call to say good-bye.

[Indistinct conversations]

[Telephone ringing]

Okay, so past couple of days, silent treatment, not returning my texts or phone calls, but then you leave orange pie in my car.

It feels like you're trying to tell me something.

This is a mac and cheese puff pie, and it's a little peace offering I made for you last night.

I mean, do you know how many recipes you can make with cheese puffs?

Please tell me it's just one. [Knock on window]

Look, do you wanna talk about something?

Uh, yes, but... but I'm on desk today, so I promise we're gonna talk about this later, so...

Okay.

[Door buzzes, radio chatter]

Okay, what's the problem, sir?

I need to talk to someone about my daughter Gracie...

Grace Alison Finn.

She didn't come home last night.

Look, I know you have rules about these things.

But, please, I'm begging you. Something is definitely wrong.

Okay, my name is Officer Peck, and I promise I'm gonna help you any way I can.

So let's just take this one step at a time.

How old is Grace?

Uh, she just turned 23 a couple of months ago.

Okay, and how long has she been gone?

Almost nine hours.

I'm sorry.

You're right. It hasn't been long enough.

Then I'll... I'll just keep waiting till it is.

Good morning.

When were you gonna tell me you changed the filing system?

I can't find anything.

Nash, I changed the filing system.

Well, you know, anything else of Jerry's you plan on changing, maybe you wanna let me know in advance.

Sort of throws me off.

Wow. Yeah, the great file debate of 2013.

Yeah, I mean, you guys are not gonna start throwing punches, are you? I will just...

I'm sorry. Who are you?

Traci Nash, Steve Peck. g*ns and Gangs.

Oh.

We're handing over a couple of cases.

I need you to go upstairs and give him the rundown. - Yeah.

You're Gail's brother. Uh, it's nice to meet you.

No, we've met before, actually, but I guess this is the part where I swallow my pride and say it's nice to meet you for the second time, right?

I'm starting to see the family resemblance.

[Chuckles] Okay.

Well, now that we're all getting along, let's get a leg up on the day, shall we?

[Indistinct conversations]

[Siren whoops]

All right, get it out. Come on.

I'm fine.

Okay. All right.

'Cause we got a job to do. We're gonna go do it.

And I don't need you going off on some moe 'cause Chris Diaz left without saying good-bye.

Unlock the door.

When you rip off a band-aid, do you call all your friends and have everybody come over and watch, or do you just do it and get it over with?

Okay, I don't know what you're talking about.

Chris is gone. Doesn't matter.

We have a job to do, so let's do it.

[Radio chatter, alarm chirps]

[Door opens]

Dov is an idiot.

You know, I kinda like Epstein.

He's got a nervous energy, but he seems nice.

It's not often you see a guy rocking the bangs.

Hmm. Yeah, I like dudes with bangs, you know?

It adds a little mystery.

Okay, so then what's your problem?

He accused me of being bipolar.

Someone at 15 dropped their medication.

He just assumed it was mine, and instead of asking me about it, he just blew me off.

Are you surprised?

What do you mean?

I don't know.

Mental illness... pretty big stigma.

Throw in a job with g*ns, forget about it.

Oh, I get that.

Okay? What I don't get is how Dov thought I could keep it a secret.

How do you keep something like that from someone you wanna be with?

Anyways, I just... I don't... I don't dig labels, you know?

I think everyone is a little messed up in their own way, okay?

It's what makes the world so interesting.

Boys are stupid.

So weird that Chris just disappeared like that.

Yeah, I always kinda liked Diaz.

Didn't you two have a huge feud over Gail last year?

Which I won, thus I always kinda liked Diaz.

Oh. Well... congratulations. What a prize.

Ooh, single life getting you down, McNally?

[Chuckles] You seem a little tense.

Oh, do I?

Mm-hmm.

Well, I'll have you know that I have never been better.

Really, actually. I'm, um... I'm happy.

Calm, even... man on hood.

What?

Man on hood! [Shouting indistinctly]

[Tires peal] Uh, 15-05. We're westbound on Lakes Row, uh, in pursuit of a cab. It appears to have struck a pedestrian. [Siren wailing]

[Static crackles]

[Siren whoops]

Whoa.

Uhh!

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

You're garbage!

You are nothing but filth! You hear me?!

Hey! Hey!

Stay back.

You jumped onto the car, man.

I didn't do anything. It's not my fault.

It wouldn't stop. The brakes kept seizing up. - He's a thief.

Wait. So this cab's yours?

No.

He's just some gas jockey who should mind his own business.

Oh, you shut your face, or I'll shut it for you.

Yeah. - Everybody, shut up till we figure out what's going on.

[Radio chatter] What's going on?

That kid comes into my store every week and steals from me.

I call you guys, and what do you do? Nothing.

Today I see him in the front seat of a cab, and I know it's not his, so I try to stop him.

Go back to counting change, bro.

Key was in the ignition. Door was open.

[Scoffs] I didn't break into anything, okay?

There's an easy way to solve this.

Your gas station have security cameras?

Yeah.

Screw you, man. I'm underage. They can't do squat.

Oh, yeah. Screw me? No, no, no, no, no. Screw you. - Okay, okay.

Screw you. - Okay! Thank you. You've both been very helpful.

Oh, you're welcome.

Kid lifted it from the parking lot of an IVA gas station, took it for a joyride.

[Frank] Okay, so kid takes it for a ride.

Accidentally hits a good samaritan.

You got the kid. Why am I looking at this?

This is the same tape, eight hours earlier. [Keyboard keys click]

Trying to find the real owner of the cab so he can explain this.

Female, out cold, light brown hair, in her 20s.

We never see much of the guy.

Well, let's see if there's any missing persons reports on file.

If anything, uh, rings a bell, we'll move on.

Yes, sir.

McNally, what is it? You have a look.

I just ran the cab.

Traced it back to impound. It was formerly evidence.

What case?

Ross Perik.

It was registered to Ross Perik right before he was arrested for the m*rder of Detective Barber.

Thanks for coming.

Of course. Where are we at?

Cab's in Forensics.

Girl's name is Grace Alison Finn, 23.

Father reported her missing this morning.

ID'd her off the security footage.

Pulled Peck from the case. Nash is up in g*ns and Gangs, and I intend to keep it that way.

[Woman speaking indistinctly over PA]

What about him?

You wanna pull him, go ahead, but...

You and I both know he's gonna work it anyway.

Right now we don't know what we have, but we know that Grace Finn was abducted this morning in a cab previously registered to inmate Ross Perik.

We also know that Perik is locked away in Millburn Prison.

Ten months ago, he abducted one of our officers during an undercover assignment and held her c*ptive in his basement.

In the process...

In the process of locating her, Jerry Barber, a detective from this division, was k*lled in the line of duty.

[Officers murmuring]

Okay, Perik's MO was he liked blondes, mid 20s.

Picked them up as a cab driver. He drugged them.

Kept them alive in his basement for 24 hours.

So we're dealing with a copycat?

We don't know that. Grace Finn fits his profile, but the cab could be a coincidence, so right now it's wide open.

Either way, it's still a missing girl.

What are we doing about it?

Collins, take over for Peck.

Talk to Grace's father, see what you can get.

I want all other uniforms canvassing the area where the cab was dropped.

And for now, we're gonna keep the Perik connection to ourselves until we're absolutely sure.

If you find something, you come directly to me or Detective Swarek.

Grace Finn was abducted at 2:04 AM this morning, which means we're dealing with a copycat.

We've got 12 hours. Let's go find her.

[Indistinct conversations]

Callaghan, do you mind running this thing?

I'll... I'll grab McNally and take her to the impound yard and figure out who bought the cab.

Yeah.

Okay. I'd just rather be out on the street.

Yeah, sure.

Thanks.

McNally?

All right, so you said Grace left for a run sometime after midnight.

You sure about the time?

Yeah.

I mean, I think so. I was... I got home late.

She was heading out as I was coming in.

[Sighs] Didn't even get to talk to her.

Midnight's pretty late for a jog.

Look, if you're going to tell me that I should have stopped her, save your breath, 'cause I already know...

This isn't your fault. We just need to talk through everything that happened, all right?

I've already gone over this with Officer Peck.

Don't you guys talk to each other?

Officer, tell him, all right?

Please don't make me do this again.

I'm sorry. I'm not on the case anymore. I've been reassigned.

My daughter's case isn't important enough?

Look, last year an officer from this division went missing, and... we brought her home, so...

So what?!

That's supposed to make me feel better?

That's my daughter out there.

I guess to you, it's no big deal.

Just another face on your wall.

[Nick] Sir. Sir? Wait a minute.

[Steve] Okay.

I believe my work here is done, Detective, so if you don't mind, I'm gonna head back downstairs.

You okay?

Uh, yeah. That was Frank.

He said I could borrow you for the full day, so...

Do I have a choice?

Not really, but on the positive, I got one of those faces... you know, it gets better the longer you look at it.

So it's a win-win for both of us.

Okay.

[Indistinct conversations, telephone ringing]

[Sighs]

Mort Baro, Kyle Zee, Iggy Wells.

Meet Gary Alva.

Okay, now these three are in police custody for g*n trafficking, but we got reason to believe that Gary's the head honcho.

Let me guess. None of them will flip.

Yeah. We have a couple of leads, but nothing that sticks.

So I thought maybe you can walk through with me and show me your moves?

My moves?

Yeah.

Unless you're telling me you don't have any.

This is g*ns and Gangs, sweetheart.

It's not the downstairs rodeo you're used to, huh?

Give me the file.

Excuse me, sir. I need you to step back, okay? - Uh, sure.

Straight back to the other sidewalk, all right?

Sorry, I'm just trying to keep an eye on my daughter.

Mya, honey, not so close!

It's like talking to a wall.

Yeah. [Siren whoops]

So, uh, is it true? Is there another girl missing?

Uh... you from the neighborhood?

We live around the corner.

Uh-huh.

I'm part of the neighborhood watch.

So if there's something going on, you know, we need to know.

All right, Mr. Neighborhood Watch.

[Cell phone buttons clicking]

This girl went missing from this parking lot, 2:00 AM this morning. You see anything?

I was in bed by 11:00.

Oh. Well... it's good to know you got it covered.

Have a nice day.

[Car engine starts]

[Man] Yeah, I'm looking into it right now.

Epstein...

[Siren whoops] You gotta go easy.

All right, you know what? Lunch is on me today.

How does that sound?

Oh, thank you, but I'm good.

Tell you the truth, I'm not even that hungry.

Okay. Good. I'm not hungry either.

It's gonna take a bit to locate the records.

Computer guy just went on lunch, but they're calling him.

Lunch. Great. Did you tell him we're in the middle of an investigation?

We got a missing girl and a cab that traces back to...

Yes, I told them.

It's just gonna be a few minutes.

Sam...

What?

[Sighs] - Nothing.

What?

Nothing. I just...

Okay, no, no, no. Not today, McNally, okay?

Okay. I just thought maybe...

I chose you so we wouldn't have to talk about it.

We were partnered that day, which means I don't have to explain anything, okay?

We clear?

Crystal.

Hey, hey. Did you have a good lunch?

We need to know who bought that cab.

We need a name, please.

Yep. I got it.

Good.

[Cell phone beeps]

Swarek and McNally just got a lead on the guy who bought the cab.

They're gonna go pick him up now.

Well, it's a start.

Forensics found residue in the cab, trace amounts of ketamine and ACP.

[Sighs] What?

Luke?

Perik used ketamine and ACP to sedate his victims.

We never released that to the public.

The only people who knew that are the police and Perik.

All right, so maybe our guy's had contact with him.

I'll call Millburn, see if I can schedule a sit-down.

A sit-down with who?

Perik.

Look, if we got a copycat out there running around, he either got his information from us or from Perik.

If anybody's got a better idea, I'd love to hear it.

[Cell phone beeps]

Moses Kellie, apartment 307.

#

10 bucks this is our guy.

#

Unknown danger?

We had to go in.

[Holsters click]

[Whimpers]

Right.

[Doorknob clicks]

#

[Blues rock music blaring loudly]


Sam?

[Plastic crinkles]

#

Oh.

[Mouths words]

[Static crackles] Um... this is McNally.

Can I please get an ambulance to apartment 3-0-7, 423 Bellevue?

[The British Columbians' "Evil In The Pines" playing]

#


[Banging in distance]

#

[Banging continues]

#

[Banging continues]

Moses Kellie!

Moses Kellie!

#

Moses Kellie!

#

I'm gonna tell you one time, drop the Kn*fe!

[Kn*fe clatters] Put your hands up!

#

[Foreign accent] I already told you, I'm a business owner.

Nothing more. I bought the cab and I sold it.

End of story.

Business owner?


Murderabilia.

Kellie's got a web site.

Sells articles from real life murders for profit.

[Scoffs] 100% legal.

God bless the constitution.

The guy you sold it to... did he come and pick it up?

No. I dropped it off at a parking lot near College Street... the one beside the library.

[Sighs] I just don't really like people coming directly to my home, you see?

You can't be too careful.

So did you get a look at his face?

No.

I left the cab there, and then I left.

Look, you don't really have anything on me, do you?

I mean, I got an alibi for last night, and this cab...

I don't have it anymore. Means I can go.

Oh, you can go. You just can't go home.

You know your Dad needed an ambulance to take him to the hospital.

It turns out he was a little dehydrated.

Yeah, well, karma is a bitch, Detective.

He's a big boy, my old man.

Huh. Okay. Except you're his legal guardian, which means you're responsible.

That puts you on the hook for abuse, neglect.

That's a heavy sentence.

This must be a joke.

Just think of all the contacts you'll make for your business.

You're right, Moses.

Karma is a bitch. [Door buzzes and beeps]

Please tell me you got something on Kellie.

Solid alibi. Sold the cab with an online account to an undisclosed buyer.

He's garbage, but not what we're looking for.

We sent the IP of the online account off to Tech Desk.

It's encrypted, but they're working on it.

Okay. So we keep going.

What's this?

Trying to figure out Grace Finn's route last night.

Think she was grabbed along here.

That's where the cab was dropped.

So we think he lives in this area.

Just waiting to hear back from the officers working the streets.

Callaghan.

Just got off the phone with Millburn.

Perik's willing to talk.

What? When did you guys decide to talk to him?

Look, with the drug residue we found in the cab, it gives me reason to believe that Perik's had contact with our guy.

I'm on my way.

Don't bother.

Why?

Perik will only agree to an interview on one condition.

Has to be Peck.

Okay, now we keep this quiet for now until we figure out how to get around the issue.

I want Peck kept away from it, understood?

[Gail] Kept away from what?

I assigned you to other duties, told you to stay away from this.

Do you want me to go in? Because I can do it.

Absolutely not. The guy's playing with us.

You can head back to your desk.

I'll do it. I'll go in.

Yeah. No, thanks. We need Perik alive. Frank...

No, Luke. I am not sending her in there, not after what he did to her.

Look, these are special circumstances.

We wanna help as much as we can.

[Door buzzes]

But I gotta tell you, Perik's been a model prisoner.

So glad to hear it.

Here you go.

This is the last four months of visitor logs, video.

We've recorded every visitation and interview.

Wait. This is only four months?

Guy like this draws a crowd.

He's had four lawyers since he got here, each with a team of associates.

Then there's the psychologists, psychiatrists, journalists, criminology students.

I'll send over the earlier stuff as soon as we get it out of records.

This is gonna take weeks.

It can't.

Get it over to 15. Hand it over to Swarek.
[Door buzzes]

Detective Callaghan. Where's Gail?

She's busy.

Grace Alison Finn.

Abducted early this morning.

Oh.

Oh, let me guess.

She was picked up in my old cab, and she was drugged with ketamine and ACP.

How do you know that?

Do you know who's doing this?

Well, I know I was locked up tight in my cell last night, so it wasn't me.

Ross, please. If you know who's doing this...

If you want my help, then do what I asked.

Send Officer Peck.

Tell her to wear that little black number.

She'll know the one I'm talking about.

Can't do that, Ross.

When exactly did this girl go missing?

Why? - I'm just wondering how much time you'll have left to find her and how much more you plan on wasting.

Ross...

Please stop calling me by my first name.

It's facile. You can do better.

Guard, I'd like to go back to my cell now if you don't mind.

[Yawning] I'm sleepy.

[Door clanks]

So one of Gary's subsidies is a JD's Cash Market and Loan.

Yeah.

He's probably using it to launder money.

That's why your guys won't talk.

They're being paid off... or their families are.

So... we put a team on Cash Market, we pull in whoever shows up to collect, and we... we flip 'em that way.

I like it. It's impressive.

Oh.

Well, one thing I haven't figured out still...

Hmm? What's that?

[Telephone rings in distance]

Why I'm solving something I'm pretty sure you already know.

Anyone who looked in this file could have figured this out, Detective.

What's going on?

[Sighs] There's a girl missing, and they think they may be looking for a copycat.

Copycat? Copycat of who?

Ross Perik.

Traci...

Look, Traci, if you go down there, people's concern for you is gonna distract them from staying on task.

Okay, is that what you want?

[Telephone ringing in distance]

[Indistinct conversations]

That cop... the one that you said was abducted last year... that was you, wasn't it?

I heard some of the guys talking.

I wish you'd told me that.

What was I supposed to say?

I wouldn't have been so... rough on you back there.

Or maybe I would have. I don't know.

It's just... Gracie's all I've got.

It's the only thing in the world that matters to me.

The only thing.

And I'm gonna put my faith in what you said.

What do you mean?

They found you.

They can find her, too, right?

Anyway... I'm sorry.

[Luke speaking indistinctly]

Peck. You need something?

I wanna go in.

Okay, but, Gail...

Can you guys stop protecting me?

There's a girl missing, and I'm a police officer.

So please, just for God sakes, let me just do my job.

She'll be completely safe.

He'll be secured and chained to the table, and there's a camera in the ceiling that's recording everything.

Look, Gail, if we do this, I'll be right on the other side of the glass.

Stop saying if" and just tell me what I need to do.

[Luke] Maintain equal footing with him.

He's not above you. Make sure he feels that.

He's gonna try and distract you from why you're there.

Keep him on target. Build a rapport.

Personal experience is he's gonna ask you questions.

Only give him what you feel comfortable giving.

There's a part in everyone's psyche, a weakness to be found.


All else fails, be quiet.

Let him talk.

Sometimes all it takes is a little silence.

You ready?

Yes.

Any questions?

Okay.

[Door buzzes]

[Door closes]

It's good to see you, Gail.

Please, sit down. You wanted to see me?

I'm right here.

You know why I'm here, Dr. Perik.

Oh, that's a bit formal.

Call me "Ross."

Okay.

I'll call you "Ross." I mean, I guess it's true.

You lost your medical license, so you're not really a doctor anymore.

Grace Alison Finn, yes, I know.

She's very attractive.

She was abducted with my old cab.

Would you mind turning around?

No, it's just... I-I...

You're taller than I remember.

Well, I guess it's hard to gauge a person's height when they're tied to a table.

[Chuckles]

You're adorable.

Look, we have reason to believe that the man who abducted Grace spoke with you.

Well, I do get a lot of visitors.

Uh, the thing is, I can't be held responsible for what they do in their own time.

I'm not asking you to be held responsible.

I'm asking you to help me.

Are you a fan of Jung?

Excuse me?

Carl Jung.

It's the one upside of being in here.

It's lots of time to catch up on my reading.

Grace Alison Finn. She is 23 years old.

She went missing from an IVA gas station at 2:04 this morning.

Brilliant thinker... Jung.

His primary theory... we all have a shadow self.

It's a part of us that's so ugly, that we try to keep it hidden away from the world.

Problem is, the more we ignore it, the unhappier it becomes.

I'm so sorry to hear that you're unhappy, Ross.

[Scoffs] I'm saying that guilt is the biggest shadow of all.

We wear it on our face.

It ages us.

You should be careful.

What are you talking about?

You know what I'm talking about.

No, I'm not here to play games.

Me neither.

I'm here to tell you a secret, soon as you tell me yours.

The steps outside the funeral home... you were coming in when I, uh... when I tripped, and you helped me up.

Yeah.

I forgot.

I can't imagine how hard this has been for you.

You know, I have this dream sometimes where my phone rings and I-I answer it, and on the other line is Jerry, and, uh, he asks me to meet him at this place where we used to have breakfast.

And I go there, and, uh, I can see him in the window.

And... before I can open the door, though, I wake up.

And for a second, I forget.

That's okay.

That's normal.

Takes time.

Do you know how long it takes a little boy to stop asking where people go after they die?

'Cause I do.

Or I guess I don't, because Leo's still asking.

[Voice breaking] I mean, I'm trying.

I'm trying so hard to stick keep going...

[Sniffles] but sometimes...

Sometimes all I can think about is how much I miss him.

[Knocks]

[Dog barking in distance, police radio chatter]

Huh? Hi, ma'am. I'm Officer Shaw.

This is Officer Epstein.

You're here about the missing girl?

Uh-huh.

I was at the gas station earlier.

I was out for a walk with my daughter, and we noticed the police cars.

Yeah, we, uh, spoke with your husband briefly this morning.

My husband's in New York this week.

Karen and I are going to visit him this weekend.

I-I'm sorry. Your daughter's name is Karen, not... Mya?

Yes.

Excuse us one second.

It's not his daughter.

Guy snowed us right there. We let him go.

Neighborhood watch, my ass.

But why? Doesn't make sense.

Why would he come to the crime scene?

Why talk to cops?

Figure out what we knew.

He was right in front of us, and we let him go.

Thank you very much.

[Telephone ringing]

This is a needle in a haystack.

I mean, it could be any one of these people.

McNally, I'm, uh, just trying to do my job.

Why don't you give that a try?

I am doing my job.

You don't wanna talk? Fine. We don't have to.

Stop treating me like your personal punching bag. [Cell phone rings]

Please. [Presses key]

[Ring]

[Ring, beep]

Oliver, hey.

You get a name? Okay, uh, give me a description.

We'll go through the tapes.

See if we can find anyone that matches, yeah?

[Perik] You're stalling.

[Gail] What does it matter?

What are you doing here?

I already cleared it with Frank.

I just wanna be here when she gets out.

Fine. You want a secret?

Okay.


When I was a teenager, I used to shoplift... makeup... Sometimes even clothes.

Oh, and I'm the one in jail?

Well, I never disclosed it on my police application.

I...

I lied.

Come on. You can do better than that.


I want something real, something you're ashamed of.

You know, I do wonder how Grace Finn is doing right now.

I k*lled a cat. Okay?

Are you happy, Ross?

I was 9 years old, and we had just gotten a new kitten.

And my brother was chasing me, so... I ran into my bedroom because I didn't want him to take it away from me.

Put it in a drawer, but he picked the lock.

And he got into the room... and I slammed... the drawer shut.

So he wouldn't see.

But the cat...

Last moment had... sort of popped its head up... and I didn't see it in time.

You snapped its neck?

I told my parents that it ran away.

And I've been terrified of cats ever since.

Okay? So I told you a secret, Ross, and now it's your turn to tell me something.

Well... there might be someone.

But I haven't see him in a while.

The guy's curious...

A reader.

He's a real detail person.

But he'd have to be to do what he does.

What does he do?

Well, we'll get to that.

Thank you again for coming, Gail.

I'm really starting to enjoy myself.

So Oliver and Epstein think he's our guy.

They're not sure, but he lied, and he was at the crime scene, fishing for information.

Look, they gave us a description, but so far we haven't seen anybody that matches.

Yeah, Perik mentioned someone.

Said he hadn't seen him in a while.

Look further back.

So... we'll start from when Perik first went in and work our way to the present.

Luke, it's gonna take a while.

Viktor E. Frankl.

"Man's Search For Meaning."

You ever read it?

Is that where the answer is?

Am I gonna find it in a book?

The answer's always in a book.

Frankl wrote it about his experiences in captivity.

He believed that in periods of extreme distress, love keeps us going.

You must know something about that.

Look, he's not giving her anything.

He's just getting off on the attention.

Soon as Andy and Swarek have a solid lead, I'll pull her out.

The day you got away from me, who was on the other side when you made your great escape?

My boyfriend.

See? There's that guilt again.

Tell me about him. What's his name?

Nick. There's nothing to tell.

You're lying.

I'm not lying.

Please.

It's in the back of your eyes, the shape of your mouth.

Your shadow self, clawing to the surface, begging to breathe.

Stop worrying about the cameras, Gail.

You're here for Grace. Worry about Grace.

Why are you doing this?

Because of you, I have nothing... four walls and a stack of books. You want my help?

Give me something to think about while I'm rotting away in here, waiting for my appeal.

I slept with someone else.

[Exhales] You cheated.

I did, yeah. I slept with someone else to make myself feel better because I was jealous.

And I lied about it to him.

I lied about it to my friends,
and I lied about it to myself.

You were jealous.

Was there another woman?

Were you replaced?

Oh, poor Gail.

Must be tough being second choice.

Are you gonna answer me?

What are you doing, Gail?

Wh-where are you going? Gail? Officer Peck...

No, you are not gonna tell me where Grace Finn is because this is not your crime.

You have nothing to confess to me.

You're just a guy chained to a table.

I guess we've both been replaced.

You weren't... you weren't listening.

'Cause I already told you.

The answer's always in a book.

He's the one with all the answers because he's the one with all the books.

I need a name.

He always called me "Dr. Perik." I-I never... bothered to ask his name.

Okay, Perik's had access to books.

Who runs the Millburn library?

It's an inmate... Adam Sawyer.

He was just paroled maybe two weeks ago.

Give me an address, anything else you got.

Peck, get outta there.

[Door buzzing] I'm not done yet.

Where are you going? You can't leave now.

Gail! You can't leave now.

[Perik] Gail!

What are you doing here?

I was worried about you.

Nick?

Look, we got a name.

Good work.

I'll get you back.

Yeah, I heard.

But thank you for telling me.

Yeah.

And, um... Listen, about earlier...

I'm sorry. I don't know where that came from.

Ah, hey, no. Forget about it.

No. It's... it's been a tough day.

Which is why I thought maybe you might wanna have a drink?

I don't know. I'm just not really much in the mood for going out tonight.

Who said anything about going out?

Oh. [Clatter]

And... bloop?

Oh. [Chuckles]

Yeah?

Yeah.

All right.

Okay.

[Unscrews cap]

[Exhales] Well, that's embarrassing.

[Clatter]

You know what?

What?

There used to be... unless Swarek moved it... No, he didn't.

[Exhales] Yes.

Nice.

[Indistinct conversations]

Hey.

I'm sorry I was hard on you this afternoon.

I just... I-I needed you to back me up.

That's why I wanted to ride together.

I thought you should know.

Okay.

Okay.

How you been, McNally?

Good.

What about you?

Who knows?

Stable.

If you can believe that.

Well, I'm glad.

As your friend, you know.

'Cause I really... I really do wanna be your friend.

I thought we already were friends.

Hey, McNally.

Hey.

Hey. You ready?

Yeah. Just need a second.

Okeydokey.

Be outside. Okay?

Night, McNally.

Night.

Drinks are on me, and I am talking...

I'm talking two, maybe even three if you play your cards right.

Yeah, I know what you're trying to do, and I appreciate it, but... you're right.

I saw this coming.

I knew he was gonna leave.

All right.

I left Zoe last night.

I filed for divorce this morning.

It's, uh... I'm fine.

Fine. It is what it is. It was inevitable.

Zoe's in love with someone else.

There's nothing I can do... [Inhales deeply]

Except you move on, I guess. That's what the books say.

We move on. Rip off the band-aid, right?

Are you okay?

I know you miss your friend. I just, you know, I think I could use one today.

Oh, don't make this any weirder than it is, all right?

Don't make me feel weird, Epstein.

We've done this before, you know?

Talk about our feelings. We're grown-ups.

We get trashed, talk about our feelings.

No, no, it's... It's not that.

You know, I was just thinking about what we were gonna drink.

Fuzzy Navel.

Oh, that's lame.

Sex On The Beach.

Yeah. Good.

I'm gonna find another friend.

You know, I remember the first time I met you.

You were a lousy waitress, and you still had the nerve to yell at us for giving you a bad tip.

Okay...

You were so cold.

It drove me crazy, and I thought to myself, that girl's gonna break your heart.

Nothing happened with us. It was one weekend.

What did you want me to do, come home, uproot your life, and then disappear again?

Yes.

So that gives you license to sleep with someone else.

Gail, I didn't come home.

That doesn't mean I don't wanna be with you.

[Thunderclap]

No, it just means you wanted to be with her more.

You were just gonna keep lying to me and to yourself.

It was a crush.

I thought it'd go away.
