(soft orchestral music)

(fist pounding)

- Is Hayden here with you?

- Was it necessary to bang on my door?

- Is she here?

- No.

Why would she be here?

She lives with you. - Well she's gone.

She was in her bed. I told her goodnight.

Came back to ask her something.

She's gone.

- Oh.

My gosh.

So she probably snuck out.

She's a teenager. Chill out.

Oh. (sighs)

- [TV Newsman] (unintelligible)

- [TV Newsman] (unintelligible)

- [TV Newsman] (unintelligible)

- What happened?

- Oh yeah, they found the boyfriend

that killed that waitress.

- [Newsman] Information that can help police,

call our toll-free hotline.

- Hey, detective!

When can we expect a statement?

Come on. I want you to get this.

- Look based on the position of the body,

we don't think this is where he was murdered.

Looks like he was just dumped here,

kind of like they dumped the girl.

Some of these guys are checking for tire tracks.

- Where's our chief?

- Hey, take it easy, all right?

You sure you wanna do this?

- I'm fine.

I just need to know if it's Anthony.

- Hey, you guys, go ahead and take a step back.

We need a minute with the crime scene.

Okay.

Just a quick look, all right?

We got the rest.

- Sergeant, is it Anthony Jackson?

Is Anthony dead?

- You wanna end up in jail or on the ground like him?

Back off.

Uncover the body.

- [Tre] It's a crime scene.

(soft dramatic music)

(Gary panting)

- Sarge?

- It's not Anthony.

It's Tipsy.

(tense dramatic music)

(phone ringing) (indistinct chatter)

- How long do we have to stay here?

- Till your parents get here.

- My dad's at work.

- Oh, you better get comfortable then.

- Okay.

Lookin' sharp.

- Funny.

If working under Tomlinson's not bad enough,

now he enforces a dress code.

- I hate dress codes.

Do you think we could start a petition

or something and get them banned?

- Look, you got time to go over some of this?

- Yeah. I'll be in there in a minute.

- I'll see you in room two.

(Gary sighs)

- [Gary] Janet.

- Sir.

- Can you look after these two?

They like to wander off and trespass.

- Absolutely.

(phone ringing) (indistinct chatter)

- So with Tipsy murdered,

we gotta be looking at this Marco dude.

- Marco?

What, you think he's behind Brittany's murder?

Well, how do we connect it?

- Well, actually I'm,

I'm focused on the Tipsy case right now.

- But you're still working the Brittany Mason murder.

- I'm on both.

But Tomlinson says this one gets the priority, man, so.

- Whoa, whoa. What?

- Travis, man.

Look, man, that girl's murder.

The warrant's out.

- You gotta be kidding me.

Anthony did not do this.

(Tre sighs)

- Look, I got questions,

especially about motive,

but right now all the evidence points to one place.

- You have to keep working it.

What about her phone?

Where's that?

How much time have you spent with the family?

- We took statements.

- Well, then you need to sit down with them,

look them in the eyes.

You know this, Tre.

When the evidence trail runs dry,

you talk to the people closest to the victim.

- Right.

And one of those people is on the run right now.

- Then talk to the family.

- Look, I was gonna stop back by anyway.

They said they wanted to meet after we told 'em

about the charges, so. (Gary sighs)

You wanna come with me?

- I can't.

I've got a meeting with Amanda Scott about a proposal.

- Oh, yeah?

Proposal for what?

Look, your job is safe, okay?

But Tomlinson wants to shut down Precinct Two.

- What?

- Yeah, Amanda doesn't like it,

so we're meeting privately to talk about a game plan.

- What if Tomlinson gets what he wants?

What does that mean for everybody else?

(knocking)

- [Gary] Brian.

- Where is she?

- Follow me.

She's right down here.

- I'ma head out.

(soft dramatic music)

- It's not natural for your child to die before you.

We aren't equipped to deal with those emotions.

- Mrs. Mason, I'm, I'm sorry.

I can't imagine.

- Her life was not supposed to end this way,

and whoever's responsible needs to be caught.

- Well, you know we're working on it.

My sergeant is adamant that we keep pressing.

- Look, I'm gonna trust you guys to find him,

but I'm only gonna wait for so long.

You understand me?

- I understand, Mr. Mason, but we got it.

So let's talk

about this guy Anthony.

Did you know him?

(lips smacking)

- Gross. Get out.

Go on. Stop it.

You're being disgusting.

- Is your boyfriend staying for dinner?

- He's a boy and he's my friend, not my boyfriend.

And yeah, dinner is kind of the only reason

that he's coming over.

- So how did you like invite him over?

Did you call it a date or just a friend thing?

- [Brittany] Why are you so curious?

- It's nothing.

I just wanna know how you got his attention.

- Do you have a crush? - Ew! No.

That's none of your business.

- Hmm. Sounds like you have a crush.

- [Keeli] No, I don't!

- Hey, would you put these on the table for me, please?

(doorbell ringing)

- I got it!

- Whoa, whoa, whoa.

No, you don't.

I'm gonna get it.

(insects buzzing) (birds chirping)

(utensils clattering)

- So, Anthony, have you lived in East Bank all your life?

Maybe I know your parents.

- You know, he's actually lived all over Texas.

He moved here a few months ago.

- I actually grew up in Oak Cliff, south of Dallas.

That's where my grandma lived.

- Oak Cliff? I'm not sure I've heard of it.

- Oh, yeah, you have.

That's where they had those riots a few months ago

'cause some thug was gonna- - Dad!

That town is where the theater is

where they caught Lee Harvey Oswald,

so super historic.

- It's actually not a town.

It's more like a neighborhood.

- Oh.

- Thanks, sweetie.

It's good to see they're still teaching real history.

- So, um.

Who are you living with here?

Other relatives?

- Just some friends.

These green beans with the bacon, you make these?

- [Brandy] Mmm-hmm. - 'Cause they real good.

And if he not gonna eat his, I'll eat straight off his plate.

I really don't care. (Brittany chuckles)

- Yeah.

Yeah, they are pretty stinkin' good, aren't they?

(Anthony and Brittany chuckle)

(dog barking)

- So like, basketball is my sport, but like,

I don't even know nobody around here to play with, so.

I mean, I used to play in, well, you know where.

- I'll play you. - You do what?

- I mean, you'll have to teach me like the rules,

but I'll take you on.

- I dunno, I mean, after what you did in Pinochle,

I can't trust you.

- You can trust me to kick your butt at everything.

(Anthony chuckles)

- Your dad don't really like me, huh?

- Well, no, I wouldn't say that.

I think it's, I'm his little girl,

and ugh, one day in the ninth grade,

I came home and I was crying my eyes out

over Michael Andrews.

Ever since then he's just been protective.

You know, doesn't want me to get hurt.

- I mean, I don't really wanna cause y'all no trouble.

I mean, we could really just talk at work.

- No, come on.

Wasn't today fun?

- [Anthony] Yeah, it was pretty cool.

- All right.

So you play basketball.

Guess what I do.

- All right, let me guess.

You write? - No.

- You run? - No.

- You paint? - Ah!

You're bad at this!

- Okay, it's like a million possible answers.

Like, come on, just tell me. - Okay.

I like to sing.

- Nah.

- What? - Nah, I don't believe you.

- Why?

- All right, you gonna have to prove it.

Like, sing something. - Right now?

- Yeah. - No.

No, I like to sing, but not like that.

It has to be the right moment.

- Then why'd you even bring it up? - I don't know.

You were talking about basketball and it sounded cool.

And who knows? Maybe one day I'll sing for you.

Maybe.

- I still ain't gonna believe it till I hear it.

- Okay.

(soft dramatic music)

- Look, I wanna be very clear here.

We've talked about this at great length.

Through many tears and through many late nights.

And you guys have done a good job

keeping us up to date on what you've found.

But we as a family,

we don't believe for one second that this boy

took our daughter from us.

- We feel it in our hearts, Detective.

You have to believe us.

As her family, as her parents,

we're the ones who have lost the most,

so our voices should mean as much as the evidence.

- I know, I know, but ma'am.

- No, please!

I know you're looking for him and that's fine,

but please don't stop your investigation.

There has to be more you can do.

- I mean, look, we'll give you whatever we can.

You already have her car.

We've been looking everywhere for her cell phone.

Keeli, sweetie. Go get her laptop, okay?

(footsteps receding)

(knuckles rapping)

- Oh, hey.

Sorry, I didn't hear the bell.

Come on in.

- I, uh.

You know, I...

(Gary sighs)

- It creates a logistical nightmare for my team

if the precinct closes,

especially after all we did two years ago to open it.

You know I have always been in your corner,

but I need help convincing some council members

to side with me on this. (shower running)

- How, uh, how can I help?

- What I'm saying, Gary, is that I need you.

I need you next to me,

side-by-side to make the business case.

- That's really not my area of expertise.

- Then make it yours.

You know Tomlinson only got chief

because he plays the political game, right?

And that stunt of his that he pulled at the hearing?

Ugh, it's one of the most awful things

I have ever witnessed.

- Then why did you give him the position?

- Excuse me?

Do you think we're here just to talk about your precinct?

I can get rid of Tomlinson and make you chief.

I have the authority to do that,

but we need to be in this together.

Do you wanna come in here

so we don't have to keep yelling

back and forth to each other?

- No, I, I don't think that's a-

- Oh my gosh. Really?

We're both adults.

Look, I'm just in a rush.

Why don't you come sit in here

and we'll figure everything out?

- Miss Scott, I really think I should leave.

I don't think what's about to happen is appropriate.

- Wait. What's about to happen?

You aren't?

Were you trying to start something here with us?

- No, I, I wouldn't.

- Oh my, get out.

You like, you just need to go, please.

Just go! You need to go!

(soft dramatic music)

- So your plan is to ignore me?

I'm not going home until you start talkin'.

- There's nothing to talk about.

- I picked you up at a police station today.

Nothing to talk about?

- You were being totally unreasonable,

trying to run my life.

So I took matters into my own hands.

- And got arrested.

- I wasn't arrested. Get the facts straight.

- You're growing up. I get it.

But you and I are going to have to communicate

if this is gonna work.

- Yeah, well, maybe if I had a mom

I would actually have someone to talk to.

- And that's supposed to be my fault?

And you have one.

It was your decision to stop seeing her.

- You may think that I was too young to understand,

but I remember she wasn't the only one who had problems.

- (scoffs) What's that supposed to mean?

- I don't know.

Maybe I did change my mind about seeing her.

Because you know what she says?

She says you only get one life, so live it.

Don't stay in your room while the rest of the world

is out having fun.

(Brian sighs)

- There's more to life than just having fun.

- Like what?

- Like, like living for more than yourself.

Loving others.

Honoring God.

- Oh, look.

Dad wants to talk church when it's convenient for him.

Like always.

And who says that I believe in the same things as you do?

- What don't you believe?

- I don't know.

It just feels like church and Jesus

is just another trick to keep me a kid,

like Santa and the Easter Bunny.

(soft dramatic music)

(engine starts)

- If you wanna see your mom, I can arrange that.

(soft dramatic music)

(Gary sighs)

(Gary exhales)

- What's the latest?

- Ah.

Tomlinson and now apparently Tre both think

that Anthony is the only suspect.

And the leads have dried up,

so he's still missing and wanted for murder.

- What about Kris?

- What about her?

She's gone. She left.

Apparently she doesn't want to talk to any of us.

- What if something happened to her, too?

What if Anthony's with her?

- Huh? What?

What?

That is not helpful, Becky.

- Hey, I am fighting through this, too.

I can barely get out of bed because of anxiety, okay?

So don't take your frustrations out on me.

I don't even have a clue what I'm going to do

when your mom gets out next week.

- I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I totally forgot.

- Yeah.

When it rains, it pours.

Right now I am drowning.

- [Gary] Is there a verse for when that happens?

- There's a bunch of them.

Look them up.

(Gary sighs)

- Is my wife finally turning to me

for biblical guidance?

(Gary sighs)

- What happened with Amanda Scott?

- What do you mean? Nothing happened.

- What did she say about your precinct closing?

- She's working on it,

and she just wanted to get my thoughts.

- Oh.

Just something else to pile on right now, huh?

- Hey.

Can I give you a hug?

(soft dramatic music)

- What are you working on?

- Well, I took an image of the laptop hard drive

from that waitress who was killed.

- Mmm-hmm.

- Tre sent the physical computer to the lab,

but wanted to see if I could get in.

I'm trying to see if anything was syncing

with her cloud account.

- Tre is Precinct Two.

Why is this your thing?

- Sergeant Travis and I go back several years,

so I help him and his team when I can.

- Well, you know, I could use some help with some of these

save the date kind of things.

- Yeah? (chuckles)

Okay.

- Oh, look.

Kris Tanner.

There's no address.

Where do we send it?

- That

is a good question.

Her mom lives in Virginia, I believe.

We could look up her address.

Some people think that she went home.

- Oh.

- Kevin, where do my parents live?

- They live in Oklahoma.

- And before that?

- They lived in Texas.

- And before that?

- I don't know that far back.

- Oh, right. Yeah.

But you knew exactly where Kris's mom lives.

Virginia.

- Tre, hey.

I'm sending you something I found.

It's a video that she sent on the first.

(notification chiming)

- All right, I got it.

Appreciate you.

All right, bro. You the man.

- All right, Anthony,

because you have been such a good friend to me

and a decent coworker,

I have decided I'm going to sing a song for you.

If you show this to anyone, I will kill you.

But all of your encouragement

and kindness has just meant a lot to me,

so this is for you.

(soft dramatic music)

(Tre sighs)

- There's no motive.

(soft dramatic music)

(dog barking)

- [Boyfriend] Look at it right now.

Jackie, look at it, please!

- [Jacqueline] No, don't touch me!

You're not gonna touch me again, ever!

(door rattling)

- [Boyfriend] It's not like that.

- No, it is like that!

You know what I'm gonna do?

I'm gonna text her right now,

see if she actually cares.

Let go of me!

Let go!

Ah!

(Jacqueline thuds)

Ah! (hand smacking)

(backhand smacking) (Jacqueline thuds)

(door slamming)

- What's he doing here?

Huh?

(boyfriend grunting)

(punch smacking) (boyfriend grunting)

It's time for you to go, man.

You need to leave.

(Brian grunting)

(punches smacking)

(punch smacking) - Oh!

(boyfriend thuds)

(boyfriend panting)

- Don't you ever call me.

(door slamming)

(Brian panting)

- How's it lookin'? - Ah, don't.

Ah, it still hurts.

- Okay, okay, sorry.

I'm tryin' to help.

- Well, you helped.

What are you even doing here?

- I, uh, I was stopping by to talk to you about Hayden,

and then all of that happened.

- What about her?

Came to remind me how much she hates me?

- I was actually hoping you could try again

to be her mother.

- Why?

- I can tell she needs a woman in her life right now.

These older girls she's hangin' out with,

they just get her into trouble.

She needs somebody she can go to

and who'll consider what's best for her.

Things I'm trying as a dad aren't exactly working.

I think she needs you.

- Did she actually say that?

- She and I, we both said it.

So I'm willing to do my part to make it work if you are.

(soft gentle music)

- You know, that's the first time you've actually

admitted to needing my help.

There's something different about you lately.

- Good or bad different?

- It's better.

- What about you?

Things getting better?

(Jacqueline laughs)

- Right, yeah.

- [Jacqueline] I know how to attract the winners.

- Oh.

Should I take that as a compliment or an insult?

You know, 'cause I was one of 'em.

(soft gentle music)

So, are we doing this?

(soft gentle music)

- Yeah, okay.

I'll send her a text,

see if she wants to hang out.

- Thank you.

- Thank you, too. (chuckles)

(soft gentle music)

(phone jangles)

(upbeat pop music)

- I'm gonna go make a drink.

Do you want anything? - No, I'm good.

- No? You guys? Anything?

Anything?

- Hey, don't forget to wash your feet.

You made a mess all over my tile last time, so.

(buddy laughs)

- They say money can't buy happiness,

but it'll buy her. (laughs)

It's good to be the chief. (laughs)

(soft dramatic music)

What can I do for you, Miss Scott?

- You can close the precinct.

(soft dramatic music)

- What about Travis and his loyalists?

- Don't care anymore.

It's your department.

Do your job.

- What about the council?

- You can close it on my authority,

but cross your T's and dot your I's.

- Yes, ma'am. - Gentlemen.

(soft dramatic music)

- Did our life just get much easier?

- Yes, it did.

- How will you do it?

- Well, first I guess I send out termination notices

to all of Travis's cronies.

We can't have anyone in our department

who may sniff around on his behalf.

(Janet crying)

- What about Millwood?

- We keep him around for show.

Give the diversity patrol their warm fuzzies.

We keep that boy busy, he won't be a problem.

- And Travis?

- Travis is a problem.

I cut him loose, he's gonna be diggin' around.

He's gonna be lookin' for Kris.

- So what do we do?

- We have reason to believe that Sergeant Gary Travis

has been harboring and abetting a man wanted for murder.

He's purposely impeding an investigation

and he's made a death threat against a member of the press.

(tense dramatic music)

- Sergeant Travis, I need you to stand up,

put your hands behind your back.

(soft dramatic music)

(tense dramatic music)

(flame whooshes)
