The civic mayoral election is
shaping up to be a close one.

Rita Gallo is currently
polling at 36 percent,

which is up 11 points since July.

Now if this trend continues,
she will be the likely winner

of this election, and she will
be the first female mayor

in our city's history.

We will find out if history will
be made in seven days' time.

Hey, David.

Hey.

Where is everyone?

Out on a sign blitz
what can we do for you?

You can't do anything for me.

I'm here to grab a bite with my mother.

Not a good time.

Never is.

You don't understand it's E minus seven,

every minute of this
week is accounted for.

Well, take it up with the boss.
She invited me.

So, what's the candidate's
position on the new steakhouse?

Sounds good.

If we can get a table with some privacy.

How's the speech coming along?

So well she's taking a break.

Breaks come after the election.

We'll make it quick.

You're working her too hard.
Let the woman eat.

Rita wants to win.

I'm paid a lot of money
to make that happen.

Remember how Dad used to say

"When everyone tells you to go right,

"but your gut says go
left, you go left?"

I need to finish this.

I... I should have called to cancel.

I'll make her a sandwich
myself, I promise.

That makes me feel so much better.

So, where are we at?

Okay, I was thinking we
should start with this.

Our city is a great one.

But it can be better.

A city of justice and equality.

I've devoted my life to...

Rita.

Sorry, there's a detective
here with some questions

about the death threats?

Oh, I already talked to an
officer about this yesterday.

Um, can you handle it?

Yeah, no problem.

Um... Oh, uh, you are the target.

I need to talk to you.

Okay, um... Made more changes.

Great. Come on in.

Thanks.

I've been getting death
threats my whole career.

And if I took scare tactics seriously,

I'd never leave the house.

Yeah, you'd feel like a

prisoner.

Do you know why so many
people want you dead?

Pardon me?

Well, you must be saying
or doing something

to make everybody hate you so much.

I didn't ask for your
identification, Detective.

Would you mind?

Ah, not at all.

How's that for ID?

Okay, okay.

911, What is your emergency?

Possible hostage taking at 1309 Renfrew.

10:33.

Unidentified man with a gun.

Alert the emergency response team.

Please hurry.

Nolan.

It's my mom.

What is it you want?

What's your passcode?

2911.

2911, that's your birthday?

Makes it really easy to hack ya.

Smile.

You don't remember me, do you?

No.

That's because I was no one to you.

Just a stepping stone
for you to get here.

Have we met?

Uh-huh.

It's been a while.

But I'm gonna give you a
chance to save face, Rita.

I'll even make it fun for ya.

We're gonna play 20 questions.

First question. Go ahead.

All units report to on-seen
commander, Cole Solomon.

All units on this call
switch over to Tag 2.

Zulu 3-2 in position.

Zulu 16 in position.

Detective. I'm Cole Solomon.

I'm the negotiator for the
emergency response team.

I'm going to do everything I can

to resolve this situation safely.

Thank you. Call me Kate.

I understand you saw the hostage taker?

I need a description. Come with me.

White male, 50s.

Clean shaven, Grey hair.

Approximately 5 foot 7, slight build.

I saw him holding David
Johnson at gunpoint.

The layout of the office?

Large main room with two
smaller offices in the back.

Get me a map of the
layout of the building.

You want anything?

Water, coffee, something to eat?

Just my mom.

This is her cell phone number.

Appreciate it.

Any idea who may have been
making death threats to Rita?

Death threats?

She never said anything about that.

Um, she prosecuted a lot of cases

when she was in the
Attorney General's office.

Put away a lot of bad guys.

What is this guy's game?

It's proof of life.

He's setting us up to negotiate.

What can I do to help?

Just sit tight for now.

We're doing everything we can
to get your mom out safe.

Sit down.

- Sir, this is for you.
- Thanks.

You're running out of questions.

Do you want money?

17.

Are you working for one of my opponents?

18.

Is this about the campaign?

19.

Ah, they got my text.

Hey.

Right here.

You got one left.

Last question.

Are you gonna kill me?

If you recognized me,

you wouldn't have to ask that question.

I guess I didn't make a good
enough impression on ya.

I'll do much better this time.

Good evening.

We begin with breaking news.

There is a major police presence

outside of the campaign
offices of Rita Gallo.

There are several police and
emergency vehicles present

on scene.

There are not a lot of details yet,

but we are being told that
a police spokesperson

will be updating us shortly.

How are you holding up?

I'm fine.

We've assigned the City's top
negotiator. I know Cole Solomon.

He's the best of the best.

The emergency response
team is developing

a list of recent parolees
for potential suspects,

and cross-referencing it with
all of Rita's convictions.

I'm gonna continue to
liaise with his team.

Anything you need from me?

Support your partner.

Let's get another sniper on the roof.

Yes, sir.

Meg's heading into the
office to help out.

Her wife can't be too
happy about a late night

at the office.

She got a free pass, just this one time.

Special circumstances.

We have all of these locked down.

It's me you have a problem with.

Let David go.

Why are you acting
like you're in charge?

Huh?

Who's in charge, Rita?

You are.

What's that?!!

You're in charge.

Why do I feel like I gotta
prove myself to you?

You don't have to prove anything to me.

I wish I believed you.

Why isn't ERT going in?

They know what they're doing.

Some nut job's in there
with a gun and my mom.

They're the experts.

They're our best chance at
getting her out of there alive.

I need to move.

What are you doing?

Stand up.

Get down on your knees.

Kate, Kate, Kate! Wait, wait.

Zulu 14 what is happening in there?

Zulu 14, VCB no movement inside.

Stand by to move in.

We don't know anything yet. Hold tight.

It's my call, and we stick to protocol.

Cole, we storm in that door,
more people could die.

We both know that.

ERT hold fast. We are
going to work this out.

From now on, you follow my lead.

Yeah. Meg, what do you got?

I'll ensure the log reflects
that ERT is to hold.

Copy that.

Thanks.

No problem.

Okay. Ensure the log reflects
that Commander Solomon

has told ERT to hold their
positions at this time.

Is she all right?

She thinks her mother was shot.

We need her on her game.

Why aren't you going in?

We haven't got enough information yet.

I won't jeopardize the hostages' lives.

Any decisions you make, any
tactics you're taking,

you inform me, not my partner.

Understood.

Have you established contact
with the hostage taker?

He's not responding.

I'll keep you in the loop.

I want to know everything
as soon as you do.

What did you do?

Did you shoot David?

Tell me you didn't shoot him.

What do you figure's your best side?

Right or left?

Please...

Get up. Come on.

David!

David?

No...

Why are you doing this?

Just tell me what you want.

Admit there was a
conspiracy to convict me,

and that you helped to
fake evidence against me.

I had nothing to do with that.

So you do remember prosecuting me?

Then, say my name.

Alcott.

Grant Alcott.

Yeah, that's better.

Do you remember what you
told the jury about me?

No.

You told 'em I was the worst
kind of criminal ever.

I was irredeemable.

I'll take your word for it.

Now, there's the lawyer I remember.

This is the building in question.

Police have drawn their guns,

and surrounded the building

This after receiving calls of
a possible hostage situation

involving a gunman inside the
campaign offices of Rita Gallo.

This situation is still developing.

If she'd just come to dinner....

Don't do that.

What?

Look back.

There's nothing for you there.

Gotta keep moving forward.

Pfft.

Great philosophy.

Works for me.

Does it?

Yeah.

My marriage is falling apart

and I haven't talked
to my dad in 10 years.

You know I never gave her a
chance after the divorce.

Always took my dad's side, no
matter what she said or did.

You were a kid.

I was 18.

Zulu 14, movement one side!

We've got movement. Go, go, go!!!

I've got a visual on Rita Gallo.

She is holding a sign that
says "David Is Dead."

At least we know she's still alive.

I'll do whatever you want!

I just want to see my daughter again.

I was wondering how long it would be

till you played that card.

I'm not playing a card. She
already lost her father.

Yeah, I heard about that.
Detective Anthony Jameson.

Shot and killed on the job.

Tch, karma's a bitch.

And then you used his death
to promote your campaign.

And you pimped out your kid too,

who's probably standing
out there right now,

wondering what's going on in here.

Leave her out of this.

You wanna talk to her?

No.

Kate.

Here's a list of your
mother's convictions

and recent parolees with
a history of violence.

Study it. See if any of
these names look familiar,

or if your mother's ever
mentioned them before.

Cole?

It's a call from my mom's phone.

Don't make any promises.

If you get stuck, I can jump in.

Go ahead.

Answer it.

Mom?

Is this Detective Kate Jameson?

Yes, who is this?

You're gonna have to come
in here and find out.

There's a little family
business to discuss.

Don't even think about it.

Whoever he is, he knows who you are.

Hostage takers ask for police

because they're itching to kill a cop.

So I'm just supposed to leave
my mom in there with him?

Go back to the list.

See if any of those
names mean something.

We find out who he is, we figure
out how to appeal to him.

That makes my job a whole lot easier.

Police are responding
to a hostage situation.

According to reports,

an armed man is holding
two people hostage.

This police incident is
described as active.

Witnesses reporting that
gunshots have been fired,

but there are no confirmed reports

of injuries at this time.

Nothin'?

No, I don't recognize
any of these names.

What do you need?

I could use another coffee.

Just this once.

Really?

Get me...

Large Americano. Room for milk.

I know you.

And you're getting regular drip.

Zulu 14, we have movement at the front.

Guard, go, go!! Get into position!!!

Get her outta there!!!

What the hell?

Kate!

Don't do it.

Hold your fire!

No one moves. Hold your positions.

What the hell's she doing?

Get her out of there!

Hold your fire!

Such a good daughter.

Come on, up against the wall.

Where's my mother?

I want to see my mother.

Well, that's too bad.

You don't always get
what you want, do you?

Come here.

You wanted me to come in,

so here I am.

Where is she?

Sit down.

Come here.

Other one.

Kate has compromised
the whole operation.

A guy like that wants to kill a cop.

Look, her dad, and her
first homicide partner,

both died on the job.

She wants to go out like they did?

She'll be damned if she lets
her mother die the same way.

She left her phone behind.

Were you in on this?

Will it make a difference if I had been?

Detective Meg Harris narrowed
down the suspect list to

three guys who were just paroled
in the last three months.

Grant Alcott, Joe
Franklin, Luke Beaudin.

All three of them were
prosecuted by Rita.

All three did time for murder.

Cruisers are out on bed check.

Guys like that fantasize
about evening the score.

The worst of them do it.

We've already got one fatality.

It's time to take care of a little
family business, all right?

Sit down.

Who is this guy?

Grant Alcott.

I prosecuted him 10 years
ago for killing his wife.

I'm gonna get you out of here.

Yeah.

It's Cole Solomon.

I'm the chief negotiator.

Who am I speaking with?

Did you tell her?

Go ahead. You're on.

I want to hear you say my name. Do it.

Uh, Cole, this is Kate speaking.

I'm in here with my
mom and Grant Alcott.

Thanks, Kate.

Grant, I want to help you.
What can I do?

Inform the media that there's
going to be a livestream

in 30 minutes with Rita Gallo
on her campaign website.

Rita has an important
announcement to make.

Grant Alcott.

AJ and Huntley were the arresting
officers in this case.

AJ charged him, Rita convicted him.

Sounds like a motive.

Learn that.

You're gonna make a public statement

about how you put me away
using false evidence.

I'm not doin' that.

Aren't you?

Okay.

Okay, I'll do it.

Yeah, I thought so.

What do you hope to accomplish?

Kate!

No, it's a fair question.

I want her to publicly admit

that she was part of a
conspiracy to convict me.

What good will that do you
if it's said under duress?

It's still true.

Uniform searched Grant Alcott's place,

and there were news clippings
about Rita's campaign.

Meg found a dozen fake
social media sites

where he was sending the
death threats from.

He's been planning this for weeks.

An angry ex-con looking
to settle the score.

Turns out he stabbed his wife to death,

did 10 years. ea

A real piece of garbage.

Yeah, his 12-year-old daughter
was at a sleepover that night.

Now, he told police
that when he got home,

he found his wife dead
on the kitchen floor,

and there was a bloody knife
recovered at the scene.

My Detective Meg Harris,

tracked Alcott's daughter, Eden, down.

She said that Alcott left a
voicemail earlier in the week,

it sounded like some kind of goodbye.

Any other insight into this guy?

Kate's father, AJ, was
the arresting officer.

Her mother put him away.

You gotta be kidding me.

A psychological profile
from Alcott's trial

said that he was controlling,
you know, insecure,

with an explosive temper.

Neighbour said he doted over the kid,

not so much the wife.

Neighbours also said
they heard them arguing

on the night of the murder.

Our best chance of reaching him is Eden.

Get me Meg Harris on the phone.
We need to talk to the daughter.

Who found the murder weapon?

I don't remember the
details of your case.

You locked me up for 10 years,

you can't remember how
you got that conviction?

It was a long time ago.

Who tampered with the evidence?

I don't recall that anyone did.

The police did!

They tampered with the evidence,

and you used that tainted
evidence to convict me,

didn't ya?

I didn't know.

She...

No, no, no, no.

No!!!

Rita! You knew!

Rita?

I knew.

But I didn't find out
until after the trial.

Yet, you didn't come forward.

Why not?!

Because I was protecting my daughter.

Finally.

The truth.

An important update now to
our Breaking News sstory

Rita Gallo will be
making an announcement

on her campaign website.

We are being told that
it will be live streamed

in about five minutes time.

As we wait for Gallo's statement,

we will continue to monitor
this active hostage situation.

I do not feel good about this.

Eden, this is the command centre.

These guys will explain what's going on.

I know this must be very
difficult for you, Miss Alcott.

Thank you for coming down.

My last name is Khouri
now, but call me Eden.

I'm Cole Solomon, negotiator.

This is staff sergeant, Bill Chen.

Head of the homicide unit.

Are you up to answering a few questions?

Please.

When was your last contact
with your father?

My adoptive dad raised me.

Grant Alcott is not my father.

I understand Alcott called
you since his release.

Please have a seat.

I never picked up.

He backed off for a while,
then started up again.

I finally told him if he kept calling,

I would get a restraining order.

Then he called from a blocked
number and left a voicemail.

I still have it.

It would be very helpful
if you played it for me.

Eden?

Uh, it's me again.

This is my last call, I swear.

You're the best thing
that ever happened to me,

I just want you to know that.

Eden, there's an opportunity
to save two lives today.

You're the best chance we have.

We need you to talk to Grant.

The man killed my mother.

I'll be right there with
you, the whole time.

Right by your side.

Can I think it over?

I'm afraid not.

We're running out of time, Eden.

I'm sorry.

Values.

That's not the Rita Gallo I know.

Probably not the one you know, either.

I know her.

You think you do.

You're on.

My name is Rita Gallo.

As a former lawyer who
prosecuted many cases,

I believe in a strong
criminal justice system.

However, sometimes this
justice system fails,

especially when those in power
choose to ignore the truth.

As a member of the law society,

I have taken an oath promising
to honour and protect

the rights of the
people of this country.

I have broken this promise.

Years ago, I was involved in a
trial where mistakes were made.

I failed to speak the
truth, and remained silent

about crucial facts during
the criminal investigation

of a case I oversaw.

In their zeal to convict Grant Alcott,

homicide detectives cut corners.

This'll blow back all
over the department.

It's time this became public knowledge.

The fact that steps were taken
to influence the outcome

of the trial is the
biggest concern to me

as a former officer of the court.

As a wife and a mother,

I have a more personal
regret for my behaviour.

My former husband,
Detective Anthony Jameson,

the lead investigator on the case,

crossed an ethical line.

He stood by as his partner
relocated the murder weapon.

It is my life's biggest regret
that I did not come forward

with this information as soon
as it came to my attention.

Okay, we're ready.

Everyone quiet. We
need complete silence.

Eden?

Hi, Dad.

Hi.

Are you all right?

Yeah.

Now that I'm talking to you, yeah.

It's so good to hear your voice.

Such a long time, I've really
missed talking to you.

I left you messages, did
you listen to them?

Yes, Dad I have.

I've been thinking about
your voicemail, Dad.

We can work things out,
but we have to talk.

Face to face.

I can't do it, I can't do that.

Please.

Do it for me.

Eden.

I'm really sorry about everything.

You'll always be my father,
no matter what happened.

Come out and talk to me.

Wait... What?

Where are you?

Grant.

Grant, are you still there?

You dragged my daughter down here?

She loves you, Grant.

She wants to work things out.

Grant. Grant.

Grant, you still there?

That's a lie.

You've been coaching her.

It's all a lie.

This ends now.

What's happening?

Zulu 14, I've lost visual contact.

- No movement out back.
- No movement inside.

Stand by for my order.

Copy that.

Can't confirm suspects.

They pulled my daughter into this.

Grant.

If you do this, there's no turning back.

You. You're coming with me.

Think about Eden and how
this will affect her

for the rest of her life.

If you go through with this,
it'll only end one way for you.

She's lost one parent
to a violent death.

Don't make her go through it again.

Just go and talk to her.

It's a trap.

She wouldn't have talked
to you if she didn't care.

Sit down.

Say goodbye.

I love you.

Remember what dad said
about following your gut?

I do.

Shots fire, lights are out.

This is bullshit, we're going in.

- No, hold back fast.
- Visual contact broken.

No movement out back.

Hold your positions.

And get some lights back on, now!

Copy that.

Here. Get up. Get under the desk.

Okay.

Get under the desk.

Stay underneath the desk, don't
move until the police come.

Grant?

Come out and you won't get hurt.

Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!

Zulu 14, there is movement
in the front room,

but I can't confirm who's who.

- Same. No confirmation.
- No movement out back.

Zulu 14, VCB that
reflection is killing us.

- Zulu 14, do you have a shot?
- Negative.

Let's walk outta here together.

There's nothing out there for me.

That's not true.

You're tired and afraid.

You're not thinking clearly.

If you thought your father
took your mom away,

would you ever forgive him?

If he spent the rest of his life
trying to make it up to me.

But I did kill her mother.

There's nothing I can say that's
ever going to change anything.

Don't do it, Grant.

Don't do it, Grant.

Don't do it.

I knew walking in here,
I wasn't walking out.

Zulu 14, I have a clear shot.
I have the shot.

Take it. Take the shot.

No!

Go, go!!

Move in!

There he is!

Down on the ground!

Down, down!!!

All clear, suspect is in custody.

VHS roll in.

Confirmed, suspect is in custody.

Confirmed, suspect is in cuffs.

Get me a unit in here.

Get victim services in here too.

Eden.

Mom!

Are you okay?

Yeah, are you?

Yeah.

Mom, why didn't you tell me?

You loved your father so much.
I couldn't do that to you.

But I blamed you for the divorce.

Oh honey, you weren't wrong.

I wanted it.

Your father didn't.

What Dad did with that evidence
could've destroyed your career.

That's the thing I couldn't forgive.

Okay, the officers are
gonna take your statement.

Then I'll talk to them.

It may take a while.

Do you wanna come by my
place when you're done?

- Of course.
- Okay.

Rita.

It's good to see you.

You too, Bill.

Glad you're okay.

Go get yourself checked
out, give a statement,

and I'll take care of your mom.

Thanks.

Where's Nolan

Just stick around until
you finish your debrief.

You'll be okay.

You wanna go for breakfast?

Like friends do?

You wanna go, or not?

I do, but I gotta stop by my mom's.

See how she's doing.

Rain check?

Next time I'm feeling friendly.

I won't hold my breath.

You still owe me a coffee.

That was a one-time deal.

You all right to drive?

Probably not, but I don't
want to leave my truck here.

Your baby.

It's a one-time deal.

Uh-huh.

Not only did you jeopardize
the entire operation,

you put yourself and
your mother at risk.

I wasn't thinking about
the repercussions.

I was thinking about my mom.

I'm well aware of that.

You know I've always
been in your corner,

and man, you show a lot of promise.

But I seriously question your judgement.

No, no, no.

Don't bother with the
"take my badge" theatre.

Word came down from above.

The media saved your ass.

And if the public gets their way,

the chief will be giving
you a commendation.

I hope you'll give me the
chance to earn back your trust.

How's Rita doing?

She's gonna win.

Of course she is.

Kate.

That stunt you pulled...

your old man would've done
the exact same thing.

That story about my dad, and Huntley,

and the evidence...

All that died with them.

Your dad was a good cop.

That'sow I choose to remember him.

I suggest you do the same.

No more theatrics, okay?

_

I thought you were supposed
to win the election

before you start packing
for the mayor's office.

You got my message.

You sounded upset.

I'm dropping out of the race.

What?

Mom...

I don't have it in me anymore.

You're five points up in the polls.

Sympathy votes, because my
campaign manager was murdered.

David would've wanted you to win.

Yeah, well, he's not here to
share that opinion, is he?

First your father, now David.

I can't.

I don't want it anymore.

My career has been at the expense

of everything else in my life.

My marriage, friendships,
my relationship with you.

I can't let that happen again.

But you also can't stop
being who you are.

Your whole life has been
about public service,

about making a difference,

and now you've got a
chance to have an impact

on the whole city.

Look, the election is
only a few days away.

Let the voters decide.

Next time on The Murders.

Your daughter's remains were
found in a box on a trail

in Deer Lake Park.

Who did this to our daughter?

Do you have any idea why a
tape of songs would be found

with your daughter's remains?

Pretty Polly, Frankie & Johnny.

Wait, they're all murder ballads?

Our killer is referencing
Walker's murder.

Whoever created the cassette knows Evan.

Evan Walker was right.

He gave us everything.

What are they teaching you in
Serial Killer 101 these days?

This guy's a predator, and
would stalk his victims

before killing them.

Your personal safety's in question.

You're off the case.

What?

Did you know that sound travels
four times faster underwater?

You're drowning, Kate.

But I am gonna save you.

The killer thinks I understand him.

Maybe you do.
