Burton, wake up! Hey! Burton!

[MUSIC INTENSIFIES]

- Wake up!
- [GASPS]

[BOTH BREATHING INTENSELY]

Thank God.

And they're still looking
for me, apparently,

Jeremy and...

whoever this Dr. Ginsburg is.

Yeah.

[SIGHS]

I thought if we could
take down Taylor Bennett,

we'd finally be safe, but this web,

it... it... it just keeps expanding.

There's always someone else.

I'm not gonna let
anything happen to you, okay?

And I'm not gonna stop until I find

every last one of those bastards.

But we can't even take Bennett now.

The deal's off. He said it.

We'll find another way.

I know why this is my fight.

I'd do anything for James,
and... and Taka, I understand,

but... you...

you've risked just as much,
and... you're unshakeable.

[CHUCKLES]

Why are you doing this?

Some things...

are worth fighting for.

Hey, you want me to go with you?

I've spent a lot of time
in hospitals, so I get it.

He's not gonna do
anything to Christy, okay?

We got him.

Until he posts bail
or a judge releases him.

This is a win, Alex.

You really believe that?

Look, I just bought us enough
time to connect the dots, okay?

And we have DNA evidence.

We nabbed him on
a restraining order, Taka.

He'll be out in a couple days max.

And for those couple of days,
he can't hurt or k*ll anybody.

That's not enough.

- Well, you have a better plan?
- Yeah, k*ll him, destroy him.

He shouldn't be allowed
to walk the face of the earth.

You think I don't want that too?

All I could think about today
was squeezing the trigger

and putting a b*llet in his head.

He's a coward, and if he had
the guts to come at me himself

instead of using Christy,
I would have k*lled him.

I know...

but we are cops, Alex,

and we're gonna find a way to
put him behind bars for good.

He should hope so.

How you feeling?

not so good.

What happened?

You were sleepwalking

I've never done that before.

I know. [SNIFFLES]

Alex, I had this nightmare, this...

[SOFT, REFLECTIVE MUSIC]

this horrible man.

He got ahold of me.

He made me say things and do things.

I didn't want to, but...

I couldn't stop him. He was so strong.

I don't understand it either, but...

this man can somehow

Still haven't heard from Bennett.

When you do, it won't be good news.

What?

The deal for Dreamer 126 is off.

No, that's not how it works.

They're supposed to make a counteroffer.

The boss doesn't trust Bennett.

He heard she was involved
and pulled the plug.

- Sh...
- Please don't.

I shouldn't have pushed
so hard on the price.

At least we know some of the
players from the demand side.

Yes, Jeremy Connors was James's tutor,

and his boss was a man
named Dr. Ginsburg.

- [CHUCKLES] Ginsburg?
- You know him?

Stanislaus Ginsburg was
a dream research pioneer.

Brilliant and a bit of a demagogue.

Well, there should be a photo.

My parents contacted him in the '80s,

trying to help my sister.

They were concerned about
the intensity of her dreaming.

They thought he could help.

Your sister was his patient?

She was going to be, and then he d*ed.

su1c1de, or so it says, but...

- It's him.
- Yeah.

That's impossible.
He's been dead for 30 years.

Well, either we just
dreamed with a ghost,

or Dr. Ginsburg is alive.

Somebody went to
a lot of trouble to make...

make us think he's dead.

And if he's alive, he's gonna
be much harder to track down.

Well, I don't even think
he's in the country.

I mean, he was talking
about a time difference.

So, we make him come to us.

Plan stays the same.

We use Bennett to broker
a deal with Ginsburg,

and they both rot in prison
for the rest of their lives.

But I thought the deal was off.

For Dreamer 126.

We get Ginsburg to New York
by offering a new deal.

For what?

You mean who.

[PERCUSSIVE MUSIC BUILDS]

We're gonna give the Doctor
exactly what he wants...
