Wait, wait!

Hey, hey, hey, hey!

You're touching me!

Just... we can't go in yet.

Why?

Are you avoiding Jarvis?

What? No! My...

M-my foot's asleep.

Cops can't walk around with one foot asleep.

Damn, his wife's pretty hot.

How the hell did that guy get such a hot wife?

She's into cops.

How do you know that?

Diaz, how do you know that?

Gail...

That married woman that you're sleeping with is that married woman?

I tried to break it off like three times last night, but then she distracted me, like... Three times, four times.

G-good morning, sir.

Diaz.

[Clears throat]

Bet you keep her purring, huh?

E-excuse me?

Your truck. What is this... an '87, '88?

My wife's car has a leak. Do you mind taking a look?

No, no, sir.

Great. She's right over there.

Break it off.

[Clears throat]

Thank you, Officer. I'm not sure what the problem is.

Did you ask him to ask me?

I said you looked like you were good with your hands.

[Sighs] Okay, well, uh, pop the hood, and I'll I'll have a look.

[Siren chirps in distance]

[Sniffs]

[Quietly] Relax.

I didn't tell him I knew you were good with your hands.

Uh...

Your oil cap is loose.

Just tighten that up. It should be as good as new.

[Quietly] Getting fired is not a turn-on.

Bye, Chris.

Well, you have a great day, and maybe I'll see you later... or, uh, never.

See ya. I mean, bye.

Hey, it's, um... I-it's Diaz, right?

Uh, why? What have you heard?



[Indistinct conversations]

You came in early.

Uh, yeah, well, the balcony predator's still out there, and he's just gonna go to different neighborhoods and att*ck other women, so got to find him.

Well, Sex Crimes is on it now, Andy. T-they're handling it.

Yep.

They'll get him.

[Telephones ringing]

Is there milk in that?

Yeah. Double, double.

Well, I take three now, so... have a good day.

Andy: Hey. [Sighs]

Andy.

Just was coming to get some milk.

I took the last of it. Here.

No, no, no, that's okay. Um...

It's probably good for the... [Sighs]

This is hard.

You know, I didn't exactly plan on getting pregnant with the guy who dumped me, so...

[Sighs]

Why didn't you tell him before?

'Cause I was gonna do it myself.

I applied for a transfer out of town, but it hasn't come through.

Look, Andy, I...

I promise you, okay?

I am... Here just to do my job, all right?

I'm not here to get in between you and Sam.

Hey.

Hey.

What's wrong?

I-I'm running around like an idiot right now, okay?

I don't even know what to do with myself.

What's that animal, you know, the one that... that can't stop moving or it'll die?

Uh, a shark?

No, a shark doesn't describe how I'm feeling right now.

A shark is a fish anyway.

I wish I was a fish. You know why?

Because fish fertilize eggs outside of their body.

It doesn't matter who they have offspring with, because... because they don't have confusing emotions like rage and... and sadness.

You're heartbroken.

Heartbroken? Traci, I'm terrified.

I don't know how to do this.

I don't even know if I can do it.

Sam's about to have a baby, and it's not with me.

Have you talked to him?

I can't talk to him. What am I gonna say?

I have no part in this.

You do have a part in this.

What?

To be the bigger person? I don't even know...

What that person would do, except maybe to...

Walk away.

What do you mean?

I mean...

[Sighs]

I don't know. Maybe Sam should be with Marlo.

Traci, there's a family at reception looking to file a missing-persons report.

Uh, who's missing?

Their 16-year-old daughter.

Okay, we are not done this conversation.

[Police radio chatter]

Oh, hey. I'm Officer Nick Collins.

Stop it.

What? I'm just going with it. We don't know each other, right?

Well, we don't... Really know each other, so...

Nick: Okay. It's your loss.

I'm kind of known as a person of wisdom around here.

"A person of wisdom"?

Yep.

Mm.

I'm sure you'll do fine without my insight.

[Scoffs]

Oh!

What?

It's nothing.

What?

That's the bad-luck radio.

There's a bad-luck radio?

It's cursed.

Mm-hmm, and how is it cursed?

It's more of an "over beers" story.

Um, yeah, no beers.

I agree. We should keep our distance.

[Clears throat] Maintain a professional relationship.

Got it.

Good.

Hey, Collins. You're gonna be riding with Ward today, okay?

Great.

What time did you last see your daughter?

Please, have a seat.

Uh, 7:30 last night. Ellen sent her down to Monroe's gas at the corner of Queen and Jameson.

It's just a block from our house.

Ellen: I needed milk for the morning.

I'd been and gotten groceries already, but I forgot the milk, which is what I went for.

9:00 P.M., I-I-I went down to the gas station to look for her. It was closed, so I-I-I went home.

I got in my car, and I just...

I drove around. I was looking for her all night.

You've obviously tried her cellphone?

Hayley doesn't have a cellphone.

She lives at home. We have a phone.

Okay. Has she stayed out all night before?

When I was 16, I was staying at my friend's house all the time.

She doesn't have any friends.

We only moved to the city a year ago, and my... my wife has fatigue issues, so Hayley helps out a lot after school.

What was your daughter wearing the last time you saw her?

Um...

Jeans.

Running shoes. [Sighs]

The... the pink t-shirt, the one with the unicorn on it.

She still has that shirt?

I thought she got rid of that shirt.

She was just going to wear it around the house.

Except she wore it last night.

It's not an appropriate shirt.

Gas station always close at 9:00?

[Inhales slowly]

I don't know.

I'm gonna give them a call.

[Sighs]

[Indistinct talking]

[Police radio chatter]

Andy, what do you got?

Gas-station manager said that this employee closed early last night and did not show up this morning.

Yeah?

Connor Frye, 21.

Okay, were there security cameras?

No, but he has a record... uh, car theft and a couple minor B&Es.

That's it?

This is Connor Frye's juvenile record.

It was expunged.

So, what, you un-expunged it?

Okay.

When he was 14, he coerced an 11-year-old girl into sexual activity.

I found these on Connor Frye's Instagram photo stream.

Subject for this was "this beauty."

Now, I don't think she knew that these photos were being taken.

All right. Let's find Hayley Hill.

Thank you.

[Keyboard clacking]

[Indistinct conversations]

[Inhales sharply]

Oh, hey. Let me get that.

I appreciate your chivalry.

[Quietly] Don't worry. They're staring at me, too.

I seriously doubt that, Dov.

My ex-girlfriend made out with her ex-husband, who was actually still her husband, before she was my ex-girlfriend. The point is, people talk.

Screw 'em. [Chuckles]

So, who's this upstanding citizen?

[Sighs] That guy, along with the rest of the pimps, prostitutes, and dealers in this box, were all arrested on the day our evidence room blew up.

And they all had evidence logged in, so we're gonna try to find a connection.

Connection to who Ted McDonald?

Nope. [Sighs] Connection to the b*mb itself.

We're going back to first principles.

[Police radio chatter]

So we're gonna try to connect one of these guys to a component from the b*mb.

[Sighs] Working theory... if you want to get something into the evidence room... have it on you when you get arrested.

I don't know where Connor was last night.

He wasn't here when I got home.

But his... his camper was gone.

Is that unusual?

No, he goes for days.

He likes the open road... Just like his deadbeat father.

All right, let's, uh...

[Police radio chatter]

[Police radio chatter]

That's his tarantula.

W-where... where is it?

Look, I know I'm supposed to tell you he's a good boy.

But he's not.

Maybe jail would straighten him out. God knows I can't.

You think it got out, or he he just took it with him?

I don't see... what the hell is that?

I felt it. That was it.

I'm sorry. Excuse me.

That's it. That was it.

What is wrong with you?

I felt something on the back of my neck.

Think we need to do our job right now, so you need to lock it up.

It's not in there.

Sorry. Um, where was this photo taken?

A campground he used to go to when his father was around... Hinks Bay.

Hinks Bay.

Hinks Bay... I-it's the off-season.

So it's probably empty.

Yes, let's call it in. Thank you very much.

1504.

1504.

Okay.

15...

15...

[bird calls]

[Police radio chatter]

[Birds chirping]

[Police radio chatter]

Connor Frye?

Where's Hayley, hmm?

What are you talking about?

You're wanted for questioning in her disappearance.

I don't know who that is.

We saw the photos. We know that you're stalking her.

I'm pretty sure you know who we're talking about.

So why don't you save us some time, Connor, and tell us where she is?

Hey!

He's got a police scanner. Knew we were coming.

Where is she?!

There's nobody here except me.

Diaz, make me a cup.

Jarvis is looking for you.

Me? Jarvis? F-for what?

You know, my job is not to question him, and your job is not to question me.

He's in the parade room. Thank you.

Dov.

Hey.

Hey, Dov, the cameras in the parking lot... they're just pointed at the exits, right?

Nah, I'm pretty sure they cover the whole lot.

Inspector.

I know about you, Diaz.

Your file says you worked construction before the academy?

Yeah. Yeah, for a couple of years.

Okay, so, let me give you a hypothetical.

Let's say my office, although stately, is...

Slightly cozy.

And let's say that the empty office next to mine will, in two weeks, be home to a new liaison officer, an officer who has no idea how big that office is supposed to be.

Diaz, you catching my drift?

[Sighs] T-totally. Yep.

I would like to appropriate...

2 feet of the office next to mine.

Now, 2 feet is negligible.

Are you...

Comfortable... with that, sir?

[Scoffs] He'll have no idea.

I don't see how it'll affect him.

I'm headed downtown for a budget meeting.

Have a look.

We'll talk when I get back.

Yes, sir.

And, Diaz, I'd like to keep this between us.

[Buzzer sounds]

Where's the girl, Connor?

I don't know that girl.

Take a seat.

Then what are these?

Take a lot of photos. I don't always ask permission.

So it's a coincidence you've been obsessively taking photos of a girl who's disappeared?

I guess so.

She's very pretty. Do you think she's pretty?

I don't know.

Oh, come on.

You don't know if you think she's pretty?

Okay, she's pretty.

Is she nice?

I don't know.

Look at her face. Is that a nice face?

I guess.

So you wouldn't want anything to happen to her, would you?

If it did, it wouldn't be my fault.

[Indistinct conversations]

We have a suspect in custody. He works at the gas station.

Does he have Hayley?

Uh, we haven't found her yet, but it looks like that he's been following her for quite some time now.

Do you guys recognize him?

I know who that is.

He stares at her every time we go in there.

You know him?

He just stares.

Has he ever spoken to Hayley?

You put me in a room with him, and I'll find out.

Mr. Hill, um... is it possible that maybe he knows her better than you think he does?

No, absolutely not.

Oh, dear God. [Sighs]

Ellen, stop that. If you need to pray, just pray.

[Breathing heavily]

We're gonna find your daughter.

[Police radio chatter]

[Dog panting]

Hey, the camper's pretty clean. There's no sign of her.

Wait a minute. There's something here.

[Sighs]

She was wearing a pink t*nk top when she went missing.

He said if something happened to her, it wouldn't be his fault.

Whose fault would it be?

Got a theory?

Yeah, maybe he's not the only one involved.

[Knock on door]

The new girl called and said she found Hayley's t*nk top in the fire pit of the campground.

Theory?

You don't want to know.

[Door beeps]

Okay, so, we found Hayley's shirt outside your camper.

That's gonna matter in sentencing.

Sentencing for what?

First-degree m*rder.

[Scoffs] You can't charge me with m*rder. There's no body.

We don't need a body to charge you with m*rder!

I saved her.

You saved her?

She couldn't live like that anymore.

What does that mean?

This wasn't my idea.

Connor! You need to tell us what's going on right now!

[Grunts, breathes heavily]

You're getting a transfer to Millburn Penitentiary, and while you're in there waiting for your crappy, pro Bono lawyer to turn up...

[Handcuffs click]

I'm gonna make sure everybody knows what you're in for... kidnapping, child molesting, possible homicide.

I can't imagine you'll still be in one piece by the time your lawyer gets there.

Come on.

Okay, I'll tell you, I'll tell you.

I'll take you to her. [Sighs]

I'll take you to her.

Marlo: So, I made us a snack, and then I ate half of it on the way back here.

[Muffled] What have we got?

Well, I'd say between the two of us, we got about a half a snack, and that's it.

[Chuckles] Walk me through it.

All right, the evidence-room b*mb was made with industrial-grade expl*sives.

Now, you need a license to buy those.

The company that makes them, Frack Manufacturing, is locked up tighter than Fort Knox.

Okay, so our bomber didn't steal them.

No, I don't think so. Frack hasn't reported a theft, and we're not exactly dealing with the best and the brightest, even as far as criminals go.

Now, here is a list of everyone who was arrested that day.

This is a list of all Frack employees and everyone who buys from Frack.

Okay, so, either Ted McDonald or one of these other criminals illegally purchased expl*sives from...

One of these names.

Let's connect them.

Let's see. Mary Chang went to book club, and what do you know? So did Aldo "icepick" Perez.

Yes, except it's probably not book club.

It's probably, a-a deep, dark web forum about b*mb making.

Okay. So, we're gonna look from juvie to babysitting class and everywhere in between.

We're gonna need a bigger snack.

Mmhmm.

[Siren chirps]

[Police radio chatter]

What are we gonna find, Connor?

Andy: Hey, we're ready to go.

Doesn't look good.

[Birds chirping]

[Police radio chatter continues]

She's somewhere around here.

There.

Nash? Yeah, yeah.

[Dog barking]

Sam: Get this dog out of here!

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Sam!

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

[Grunting] Get off me!

[Grunts] I said get off me!

[Breathing heavily]

Hayley Hill.

Hayley, your parents are really worried about you.

My parents are not worried about me.

They are worried about my soul.

So, Connor didn't hurt you?

Of course not.

Now, can you please uncuff him so that we can get out of here?

[Dog barking]

I'm gonna go call your parents.

Get that dog out of here.

[Police radio chatter]

Could've saved yourself a lot of trouble if you had just told the truth.

I didn't do anything.

We thought you'd let me go when you figured that out.

But you didn't.

So, the plan was just to run away together?

Is that it?

My parents are insane.

I'm not allowed to go to dances. I can't walk to the store.

I can't wear my own shirts.

Tell them about the other stuff.

What other stuff?

Her dad fed her dog poison, made her watch it die.

Then threw it out of the car on Newman's line.

Uh, Hayley, is that true?

Please don't make me go back with them.

Legally, they have custody of you.

You're only 16 years old.

When she asked her dad if she could go to a movie with a guy, he made her sleep in the garage overnight.

Is that illegal?

No. Not really.

He makes me stay up all night to do my homework, and if I get it wrong, then he whips out his belt.

What about that?

Is that illegal?

Are you saying he abuses you?

L-look, I...

I don't want him to go to jail, okay? I just... [sighs] I just want to be with Connor.
[Birds chirping]

Have you found her?

Yes. She's safe.

Did that boy lay his hands on her?

Your daughter's just fine, sir. She's fine.

Mr. Hill, do you have a dog?

Our dog ran away a few days ago.

Mm. So he wasn't poisoned?

Did Hayley tell you that?

[Police radio chatter]

Sam: Mr. Hill, is it possible your daughter's going through a rebellious phase right now?

Are you suggesting my daughter left the house and voluntarily spent the night with that boy?

It's not unusual for a 16-year-old girl.

What happened, dad?

It's okay, Jeremy.

What will it take to break that spiteful will of hers?

I'm sorry? Break her will?

This is a private family matter.

I'd like to see my daughter now.

Detective Nash is gonna be bringing her home very soon.

I just have a couple of quick questions for you, Mr. Hill.

Your family can stay and wait for you if you like.

Or I can take them home where they'll be more comfortable.

Go home, Ellen.

I want someone there when Hayley gets back.

Come on, Jeremy.

I want to stay with dad.

Listen to your mother.

[Police radio chatter]

I apologize for all the trouble we've caused you.

No. When will we get Hayley home?

Uh, she's just gonna give her statement to the detective, and then we're gonna close the books on this.

He's gonna take her to the garage.

Jeremy...

What happens in the garage, Jeremy?

Discipline is Lloyd's domain.

So you're not party to discipline?

We're a traditional family.

I know what people think of that.

But it actually takes an incredible amount of strength to submit to your husband in all things.

I'm sure it does.

[Children shouting in distance]

[Police radio chatter]

So, what's gonna happen to Hayley?

Hey, I think it's a good idea for you to steer clear of Hayley and her family for a while. They got a lot going on.

So, what... just give up? I love her.

Well, maybe it's a right girl/wrong time scenario.

Don't worry. We'll make sure she's okay.

I'll make sure she's okay. Thanks for the ride, guys.

Doesn't sound like he's gonna give up.

Well, he doesn't have much of a choice.

I'll call staff, tell him we'll stick around for a while and make sure the kid stays put.

[Door shuts]

Okay.

Lloyd, um, I got to tell you, we have to investigate abuse claims even if they're completely unfounded.

We could turn it over to child services, but once they're in, they're like in-laws. You can't get rid of 'em.

[Chuckles] Yeah, we left them up North... the one good thing about moving to the city.

There are other things to love about the city... concrete and gridlock.

Yeah.

We shouldn't have come here. We're family-values people.

Yeah.

Lloyd, I do my best to keep this city safe.

But the schools are a mess... g*ng v*olence, underage drinking, hard drug use.

At least the schools nurses are giving out condoms.

[Scoffs] They should be teaching abstinence. I mean, that's the only way you're gonna stop unwanted pregnancies.

I mean, geez, I'm sure you know all about that.

Uh, how do you mean?

The breakdown of the family structure leads to criminal behavior. You deal with it every day.

Right. Yeah.

Nothing good ever came from a broken home.

There's no more waiting until marriage.

These kids are hooking up with strangers they met on a phone app.

Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?

That's not happening to Hayley.

So what do you do... lock 'em up?

You go home, Detective, and you commit to raising a traditional family, which is what I'd like to do right now.

Dad makes me wear these dresses every day, and everybody at school started calling me goody-two-shoes.

So I let all the boys look up the dresses, and everyone stopped saying it.

That's not a good idea.

[Insects chirping]

The garage is haunted.

Haunted how?

When I was little, I woke up one time, and my dad said a surgeon had come and sewn up a demon inside me.

[Chuckles] I know. It's what he said.

Hayley, I need to make a phone call.

Hey, you still have the dad?

Barely. How is she?

[Sighs] The things she's saying that he does... it sounds like serious psychological abuse.

Well, you got to give me something to charge him with.

Otherwise, I can't hold him.

[Sighs] Look, he may not be doing anything illegal, but Hayley is a child.

All right? She can't protect herself. That's our job.

[Clears throat] Detective?

Uh, yeah, I'm gonna call you right back, okay? Sorry. Thanks.

Look, I-I just wanted to thank you for finding my daughter.

You'll... you'll never know how grateful I am.

Yeah. Uh, Lloyd, I, uh...

I'm about to have, uh, one myself.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah.

Your first?

Yeah, my first.

Wow, your wife must be thrilled.

Oh, she's thrilled, yeah.

I got to tell you, I think you and I are a lot alike.

I see you with your beautiful family, and it's inspiring.

So how do you do it?

Well, you listen to me.

One bad apple can spoil the bunch.

If she runs, go get her and make sure she never runs again.

Spare the rod, spoil the child, huh?

There's nothing wrong with protecting the sanctity of your family.

[Police radio chatter]

Ellen, you know, there's nothing to be afraid of...

I mean, unless there's something that you're not telling us.

No, no, no. It's fine.

We're all just tired.

I hope you know that if you suspect your children are being mistreated, it is your responsibility to reach out to somebody and ask for help.

[Door opens]

Oh, Hayley! Oh!

[Crying]

Hayley: Is he home?

He's on his way.

Swarek had to cut him loose.

You can't leave.

Mrs. Hill, I know you've had a rough couple of days, but we just need to take a look inside your garage.

Then we'll be off.

I don't ever go in the garage.

[Birds chirping]

Traci: Hayley...

He makes you sleep in here?

[Weakly] My husband's a hunter.

These are... hunting instruments.

Ellen, in your worst nightmares, did you ever imagine that this is where she was sleeping?

He emptied the freezer. [Sniffles]

[Shakily] Mom... you have to tell him that Connor and I slept in separate rooms last night, okay?

Okay? You have to tell him, or else he's gonna put me in the freezer.

He's done that before?

Please don't let him hurt me.

Hayley, we're not gonna let anything happen to you.

You need to leave. Lloyd's going to be home soon, and... and he'll know we were in here.

Okay, how about we take you somewhere safe...

A hotel... just for a little while, you know, so that we can talk without worrying about Lloyd coming back.

[Birds chirping]

[Shakily] All right. Okay.

Okay.

You're doing the right thing.

He's not gonna see it that way.

[Sniffles]

Come on outside, Jeremy!

I'll get him. We're leaving!

Jeremy?

I want to wait for dad.

I'm sorry, honey.

We can't wait. We got to go now, okay?

Take this.

Jeremy: Check it out. Look how much stuff is in there.

It's awesome.

Hayley: I know. It's got a minibar.

So, we can take whatever we want?

Gail: Yeah, just stay off the cheese puffs.

Trust me, that's a bell you can't unring.

But we're not allowed to have soda at home.

We won't snitch.

Jeremy: I want chips.

Hey. Yeah, that one.

She's just resting.

Okay. How are you doing?

[Scoffs] I want to drink the whole minibar.

Can I just say something?

Steve means a lot to Leo.

And I'm lucky to have him in my life and that he loves me... And my child.

[Sighs] I'm too tired to sleep.

[Chuckles]

Well, you've had a pretty exhausting 24 hours.

I haven't had a full night's sleep in 16 years.

I have so much to do at home, and Lloyd really values a hard day's work.

Why don't... why don't we move in there?

Okay.

[Soda pouring]

Hayley: Not like that, Jeremy. You're making a mess.

[Chuckling] Why don't you just take... take this one and then pour it over the sink?

[Police radio chatter]

You got to go easy on him.

What?

He's just a little kid, and he's struggling, too.

You're kidding, right? My father dotes on him.

Yeah, but that's not Jeremy's fault.

I'm just saying that you guys are in this together, so it's just worth keeping that in mind.

I did it.

Perfect pour.

So... [sighs]

How do I fix this?

You need to make an allegation of abuse against your husband and file an official statement, and then we have the grounds to arrest him.

[Police radio chatter] Then what?

Traci: While he's waiting to post bail, we work to get a restraining order.

A piece of paper? Has that ever worked?

We'll call victim services. We will make sure that you have a spot in a secure shelter until the court date.

No, no, no. I can't go to a shelter.

[Water running]

I'll be homeless, and he'll end up with the kids.

It's just what he said would happen if I ever left him.

He's lying. He's preying on your fears so you won't leave him.

Hayley's, uh, having a bath. Should I order a pizza?

Sure. I'd like to go home.

What? We can go back...

Right now.

Ellen: We could say we were at the store.

What are you doing?

Jeremy: Hi. Okay.

Nash, McNally?

It's too late.

What is it?

I think Jeremy just gave away our location.

[Police radio chatter]

[Children shouting in distance]

1504... we're at the Hill residence.

Uh, it's been 10 minutes.

[Door opens]

Lloyd's here. Everything seems quiet.

Uh, hang on, hang on.

Where's my family?

Mr. Hill, your family's fine.

You took my family? You searched my house?!

Duncan: Mr... Mr. Hill...

Don't touch me!

You have no warrant!

You have no right! You stay the hell away from us!

[Police radio chatter]

Duncan, get in the car.

[Car door shuts]

Get in the car.

[Engine turns over]

W-where is he going?

He's gonna go find his family.

Nick: Staff's sending us to the hotel where they have the family.

Apparently, the dad's on a rampage.

No problem. It's pretty dead here.

[Engine turns over]

Oh, yeah? You bored?

I like a little action.

Well, I am sorry this isn't your ideal shift, but what'd you expect? You took the bad-luck radio.

Man: 1519... we've got a 911 call to 158 Stroman Drive.

We're at 158 Stroman.

The caller is a Deliah Frye.

She says there's an intruder attacking her son.


[Deliah gasps]

[Lloyd grunts]

Co-Connor! Oh, my God!

Get up!

You ruined my daughter! [Grunting]

[Sobbing] Connor!

How dare you?!

[Grunts] Huh, huh?!

Punk!

Hey, hey! Get off him, Mr. Hill!

Stop moving now!

Stay back. Get your hands off me!

Connor?

He's the criminal! He's a pervert!

My daughter is 16!

I'm calling an ambulance.

1519... we need E.M.S.

I'll be back for you.

No, you won't.

I'm gonna destroy you.

[Buzzer sounds]

Sam: First-time offender, grief-stricken father... he'll probably only get house arrest.

Well, then we can only hope that McNally and Nash are making some head way with the wife.

[Clears throat]

For the first time in my life, I think...

I could be a good father.

I know I'm not gonna be like my dad.

Oh, damn straight.

That's because of McNally.

Couldn't wait to do this with her.

[Sighs] Am I supposed to do this...

With Marlo?

Here. [Sighs]

The best thing that you can do for your kid...

The best is just to be happy yourself.

It took me a long time to figure that out.

Ellen: It's okay, Jeremy. You did the right thing.

Can we go home now?

[Sighs] This has all been too much for them.

I want you to take us home.

No, he's going to k*ll me if you take me back. Please, mom.

Okay, Ellen, you cannot do this.

Look, I know the idea of leaving your husband and raising these kids by yourself is outside of the traditional family that you want, but this is your family, and you need to protect them.

Traci: Let us take you somewhere safe.

[Gasping] I can't go back. I can't do this.

You're ruining this family.

Shh.

[Gasping]

Hayley! Hayley!

Hayley!

Whoa! Stay back! This is peck. We need E.M.S. at the Ridgeway Hotel on Kingston Road.

She'll be better soon.

Man: Copy that. Medics are two minutes out.

What did you do?

She was being mean like when Zeke bit dad.

Zeke? Your dog?

We gave Zeke the stuff in the blue box to teach him a lesson.

[Gasps]

[Whimpering]

Terminatox? This is pest poison.

[Gasps] What have you... oh, my... oh, dear God!

[Crying]

[Police radio chatter]

Traci: So, you brought stuff from home to put in your sister's drink?

Zeke was out of control, so dad sent him to a better place.

Hayley's worse, right? She's ruining our family.

[Police radio chatter continues]

Uh, Jeremy, this is Lori Kavanagh from child services.

I want you to tell her the whole story, about your dad, about Zeke about everything, okay?

Okay.

Hi, Jeremy.

Hi.

[Police radio chatter, car horn honks]

Is she going to be all right?

Paramedic: We need to take her to Memorial.

They'll have to repeat the vomiting induction and charcoal every four hours.

Thank you.

Okay, we'll follow in my car.

Gail's gonna be with her the whole time.

[Siren wailing]

What's gonna happen to Jeremy?

Uh, I mean, he's gonna have to take a psych evaluation to determine whether he's dangerous for other people.

Are they gonna take him away?

You know, Jeremy was only doing what his father taught him was right.

If you want him back, you're gonna have to prove that you can take control and lead this family.

I was 16 when I married Lloyd.

[Sniffles]

I was so young, my parents had to sign over custody.

I know this isn't the family that you pictured.

But it's the one you have. And you do have a choice.

I'll testify against Lloyd. [Breathing shakily]

I'll do whatever it takes to keep Jeremy and Hayley safe.

Good.

What's wrong?

[Sighs]

I've spent all day on the dark web.

I've read blurbs online about hit men that read like dating profiles.

I now know how to Skype a Thai hooker if I ever feel so inclined.

But I couldn't find a single connection to anybody that sells industrial expl*sives and anybody we arrested the day the evidence room blew up.

Really?

I was disappointed. I thought...

I like intelligence, I like working with you, but maybe I'm just not cut out for this.

Until...

Until?

Meet Chris Klem, an independent contractor with a license to sell expl*sives.

One of his suppliers Frack Manufacturing.

Okay, has he ever sold to anyone that we arrested that day or someone who's connected to them?

No.

The connection goes deeper than that.

He supplies expl*sives to the Metropolitan Police Department.

You're kidding me.

He's basically the guy the cops call if they want to blow something up.

Oh, Dov, this is bad.

It gets worse. [Inhales deeply]

He disappeared...

What?

Three weeks ago.

This is the missing-persons report from the Kitchener P.D.

Okay, so, wait a minute.

So you're saying to me that the only guy that we can connect to that b*mb is the same guy who sells expl*sives to the police?

We need to find Chris Klem.

Hey, nice work today, Ward.

You, too, Collins.

It's good to see the bad-luck radio worked out for you.

Collins, um...

I didn't take the bad-luck radio.

I know.

[Pen clicks]

Would've shorted out on you by now.

[Scoffs]

You know, we can't go for beers, but...

That doesn't mean that I'm not interested.

In what you have to say, 'cause I think you said you're a wise, old owl or whatever.

Person of wisdom, but yeah.

Right, right.

Well, have a great night.

[Sighs]

Did you break up with her?

Wha... I'm...

Going to do that right now.

Why do you smell like sex cologne, Diaz?

What?

Diaz, can I talk to you about the thing we discussed?

I'm sorry, sir. It's a...

Load-bearing wall.

Oh, well. You win some, and you lose some.

How'd that budget meeting go?

They want me to make a 15% employment cut at this division.

What?

But I told them these are my people, and I'm not gonna reward hard work with unemployment.

You... you said that?

[Chuckles]

Doesn't sound like me, right? I'm a bottom-line kind of a guy.

Well... That doesn't matter to me as much these days.

[Sighs] I'll tell you something, Diaz.

Lately, my wife has been, uh...

Well, let's just say happy wife, happy life.

Officer Peck.

I-I got to keep seeing her.

You're an idiot.

What? I just saved everyone's job!

Yes.
