(gentle music)

(crickets chirping)

(vehicle whirring)

(bell ringing)

(people chattering)

- Hey, hey guys, she's here.

We were starting to think maybe you got lost.

- I'm sorry I'm late.

- It's all good.

Actually, you're right on time, come on in.

- I could help you.

Oh, come on baby.

Come on, baby.

(door banging)

- Whoa, is that a whole $2.

Hey, she's here.

Bring her in, bring her in.

- You are one dirty old man.

- You get this one off the school bus, buddy?

(person laughing)

She one of your daughter's friends?

- Guys guys, hey, shut up.

She's our guest.

- Well, she can be my guest right here.

- Listen, listen, with the way you've been playing,

you couldn't afford it.

(people laughing)

- I call.

- Should I get started?

I can take away the empties

and get fresh drinks for everyone.

- No, I think they're all doing pretty well right now.

- Next card, next card.

- What would you like me to do?

- Miss Raven will show you.

- This way.

(people shouting)

- It's about time.

Oh come on baby, come on baby.

(gentle music)

- In my interview I was told

I would be like waitressing or something.

(door creaking)

- Hey, I heard your interview went great,

but your resume is a bit light.

How about we add massage therapist

to your special skills section?

- I don't do that.

- Oh, don't worry honey.

We'll figure it out together.

(door whirring)

- Three days later she was dead, man.

Like, ya know, so I gotta get back

before they start asking questions.

I know I wasn't supposed to do this,

but like they ain't even focused on her case like,

so thanks for meeting up and stuff.

(door whirring)

(gentle music)

- So I spent five years in patrol.

Another 15 as a detective and thought about moving, but.

- Sorry everyone, got tied up on a call.

Wife is planning a family get together and wants me to cook.

Let's get busy, shall we?

When Tomlinson let Kris walk outta that warehouse alive,

that was his fatal mistake.

- Lucky me.

- Yeah, well he thinks he corrected that mistake,

which gives us the advantage.

- How do we use that advantage?

- We bring Detective Tanner back from the dead.

- Why would we do that?

As soon as he finds out Kris is alive

he'll go after her again.

We'll have him in custody long before any of that happens.

- So what are we doing to protect Detective Tanner?

We're not gonna use her as live bait.

- This isn't our first rodeo Sergeant Travis.

- Yeah, well, Tomlinson isn't the only one

that can make mistakes.

(gentle music)

- I don't make mistakes.

- What do you need me to do?

- It's simple, I need you to make a phone call.

(people chattering)

(footsteps walking)

- Hey Millwood, hold up a sec.

- Hey Chief, I didn't think you'd be in the building.

- You do realize I work here too, right?

(person laughing)

I've been looking for you.

I wanna talk to you about these media clowns.

They're looking for updates on the Brittany Mason case.

I told them it's solved, but you know what?

Apparently it's not good enough for em

So what do you got, anything new?

- Still waiting on ballistics.

- No, no, no, no, no.

That is a waste of your time.

We found it at the scene.

Tracked it to where the kids living, cut and dried.

You know, if these news guys, excuse me,

news persons really cared, they'd have his face

plastered on the screen every single night

and that's not happening.

As far as we know

he doesn't have any real family or friends.

So I'm thinking he's probably still local.

- It's possible.

- I'm betting he's gonna have a heck of a story

to tell when we do catch him.

- Guess we'll find out soon enough, right Chief?

- So if anything new does come about,

you need to come straight to me, you got it?

- Yes sir.

- I wanna make sure we get justice for this poor girl.

(gentle music)

- I'm sure you do.

(school bell ringing)

- Hey.

- Hi.

- Save me a spot in class, okay.

- Where are you going?

- You know.

- Where are you going?

Don't get caught.

(people chattering)

Hi.

- Hey.

- Hey, so is your dad still being weird about you going out?

- By weird, do you mean 24/7 lockdown

then yeah, still weird.

- Well, I really need you to figure something out

because the rodeo is coming up and we really can't miss it.

I mean, cute cowboys, parties, all night concert.

It's this thing called fun.

- Yeah, that's gonna be really tough

for my dad to ever agree to.

- Well, you're a smart girl.

You can get creative maybe

or I can talk to him for you if you want.

- No, don't do that.

I'll figure something out.

- Okay, make it happen.

Won't regret it, make it happen.

(phone ringing)

(gentle music)

- [Speaker] This is Tomlinson.

- Hello Chief.

- [Speaker] Kris Tanner.

It's good to hear from you, how you been?

- Surviving, no thanks to you.

- All right, stop.

That's way too aggressive.

We, we need to get him at ease, not jump all over him.

Boyer.

- Yeah, we need you to play dumb for now.

Remember, you want in, what you don't want

is to give him any indication

you hold animosity toward him.

- So lie in other words.

- I read your file, okay?

I know why you went to that warehouse.

This is personal.

I get it.

- Okay, Miss FBI, what else does my profile say?

- That you're loyal, dependable.

You excel under pressure.

- Must be an old file.

- I don't think so.

Ranger Phillips in there doesn't think so.

You still have a chance to make things right.

Instead of trading one evil for another,

let's find a more honorable path, for Shane.

(gentle music)

- We ready to go again?

- Ready.

- Agent Long.

- [Speaker] I'm good.

- Detective Tanner.

- Yeah, I got this.

- We got one shot at this,

soon has he knows Kris is alive,

there's no going back.

- Well then she better get it right.

- You don't have a plan B?

- Trying to get a tap on Tomlinson's phone

down at the station.

We've hit a few bumps.

- Well, you really think he's gonna use

city equipment to orchestrate something like this?

- No, no I don't.

But people get sloppy.

- So what's the problem?

- Well, the tech guys here at the bureau

are telling me the systems down there are a mess.

It's just one old system piled on top of another

one that's even older.

- Well, welcome to East Bank.

- Yeah, well you know anyone local,

somebody familiar with the systems could get us in.

Let us look around.

(gentle music)

- So you want me to spy on Chief Tomlinson?

- Can you get into the system?

- Officially or unofficially?

I mean, I don't wanna go to jail.

- We've got a federal warrant, if that'll ease your mind.

- Well, okay, that helps.

But it's still kind of a mess.

Every time they get a new system

they just dump it on top of the old one.

- They know.

- Well, before they

fired me

I gave Hannah's account

admin rights just for emergencies.

So we can get in through there I guess.

But if you're after his personal devices,

they were all locked down

with military grade encryption, so.

- Yeah, that's a problem.

- Actually, no.

No, no, no.

I think I still have the post-it note

with the password from when I set it all up.

Yeah.

What, people get sloppy.

(vehicles whirring)

(guns banging)

(footsteps walking)

(buzzer buzzing)

(door banging)

- You Ellie?

- Yeah, who are you?

- Detective Millwood.

- I speak to a lot of detectives.

- From East Bank PD.

- East Bank, you drove all the way out here from East Bank.

You never heard of email in East Bank or telephones?

Ah, telegraph lines must be down.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

(person beeping)

- Nah, just passing through.

Thought I'd check in on the gun you're testing for us.

- Yeah, unlikely story, but I'll let it slide for now,

you got a case number for me?

- Yeah, I do.

(person typing)

- Ah, yeah, nine millimeter compact.

Yeah, not done.

- Okay, so do you know when it will be?

- Well, according to this, it is scheduled

for never because the order was canceled.

It's never soon enough for you or would you rather wait?

- Cancelled by who?

- It says here an H Tinsley, ring a bell?

- Hannah. Hannah Tinsley.

Look, you still got the gun here?

- Probably.

- Okay, well how fast can you get it done for me?

- Well let's think, the Dallas office

is closed for renovation,

so guess who gets all the backlog?

Four weeks, maybe six.

- Listen, any chance you offer an express service?

- Any chance you offer lunch service?

(gentle music)

- I'm married.

- Congratulations, I'm hungry.

- Okay.

- All right, I'll tell you what,

I'm gonna make you a one time deal.

- Okay, what are the terms?

- Well, your mission, should you choose to accept it,

is to head to the historic town square.

Once there you will locate an establishment

named Brunch of the Sea.

You will enter said establishment and you will order

from the bar one platter of fish and chips.

Yeah, and if you're smart, you'll order one for yourself

because they serve the best fish and chips

this side of the Atlantic.

Yeah, and you are quite welcome.

- Look, I'm more of a burger guy, aight?

What about my gun?

- Yeah, it'll be done when you get back.

Oh, do not forget the brown vinegar.

(footsteps walking)

(door whirring)

(gun banging)

(person typing)

- Okay, I'll wait in here.

Hey, it's been a while.

You doing good?

(gentle music)

- Yeah, it's good to see you again.

- You mind if I hang out in here?

I can't go out for lunch 'cause somebody might see me.

- Yeah, of course, no problem.

- Wait lunch, oh, what time is it?

I gotta go like now.

I'm so sorry.

It's not you, it's me.

I just, I gotta go.

It was really nice seeing you.

You look, you look. I really gotta go.

(birds chirping)

(car whirring)

(door banging)

- You know I'm supposed to be heading back soon, right?

- I know, I'm so sorry.

Time just got away from me.

- Doing what?

Hopefully looking for a job

because the wedding's getting pretty expensive.

Well actually, I just picked up

some part-time freelance stuff.

- Oh really, what is it?

Actually, I can't really talk about it much.

- Wha? [Sighs] Come on!

- No, no, no, no.

Please don't do that, it's confidential,

super secret things that I just can't talk about.

- Hello, we're getting married.

Husband and wife.

Hey, secrets don't exist in a marriage.

Okay, well hey, you've gotta keep

this strictly confidential.

- Of course.

- It's surveillance work.

- Surveillance?

But they fired you.

Okay, technically I was let go, not fired.

And the assignment is not local jurisdiction.

- And what jurisdiction is it?

- Federal.

- You're working with the feds?

- Yes, kind of.

I'm technically hired by the Texas Rangers

but the FBI is involved too.

- Shut up, who are you watching?

I can't, really.

- Come on.

- No, no, no, I really can't say.

But hey, hey, when it is appropriate,

I will fill you in on everything.

- You better.

- Oh, I will.

(people laughing)

- Okay, I gotta go.

You got this right?

- Yeah, yeah.

Sure, bye.

(gentle music)

(footsteps walking)

- Oh, the sweet smell

of brown vinegar and grease wrapped in butcher paper.

- Yeah, tell that to my car.

So what's the verdict on that gun?

- Ah, yes.

Sorry detective, that is not the gun you're looking for.

(gentle music)

- So it's not a match.

- No, same caliber handgun that killed the girl.

Just not the one you sent me.

- Thanks Ellie.

You've been a big help.

- Yeah, my pleasure Detective Millwood.

I'll get the official report written up

and sent back to your people later today.

- Actually, can you hold off on sending that report?

- Yeah, have it your way burger boy.

(door whirring)

(flags whirring)

- Oh hey Sierra.

- Hey Hannah, hey.

How's planning for the big day going?

- Stressful.

- Kevin's still helping out though, right?

- Oh, kind of when he can.

He's all busy being Mr. Big Shot though.

- He got a new job.

That's great.

You know, Sam just got promoted to VP at his company.

Now he's all thinking, he's all Mr. Big Shot too.

And I'm like, it's just VP, you know?

- That's crazy.

Yeah, I can't really talk details on Kevin's thing

but let's just say it involves the Texas Rangers.

- The Texas Rangers, that's like big.

Is it here in East Bank?

Don't they do like public corruption cases?

- I mean, I don't know, but let's just say

it's just very shh.

- Totally.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

- So I'm seeing a florist today after work.

- That's fun.

- I'm excited, thinking like peonies.

- Hey, we may have a problem.

Need you and Raven to look into something for me.

(gentle music)

(people chattering)

- I'll see you guys later, bye.

(door banging)

Do you always have to be in the front?

It's embarrassing.

- I can meet you inside

and walk you out from your locker if you prefer.

- No, this is good.

- I thought so.

- So dad, I was wondering,

you know how the rodeo is coming to town?

- Yeah?

- Like all my friends are going

and I know I'm still grounded.

But what if we both went.

- You want to go to the rodeo

with me to hang out with you and your friends?

- Like I was thinking we could go as a family.

like we invite mom.

She loves horses.

(person laughing)

- No, she doesn't.

I took her to the rodeo once and she hated it.

- Please, I think it would be good for her

to go out with us.

And if I do hang out with my friends

a little, you and her could talk.

- I'll think about it.

- Really, I mean, thank you.

(car whirring)

- Like is it every week or is it every two weeks?

Direct deposit?

Oh, okay, right, well lemme call you right back.

Yeah, I gotta to go, bye.

- Can I talk to you about the Brittany Mason case?

- Yeah, sure, what's up?

- Hey, you canceled my ballistic test on the murder weapon.

What's the story there?

- No, that was Tomlinson.

- What, ballistics lab says you did it.

- No, he told me to call and cancel it.

Something about budget cuts and we didn't need it.

Blah, blah blah.

Stepping over a dollar to pick up a dime.

You know how he is.

- So Tomlinson canceled the ballistic test on Travis's gun?

- Yeah, weird, huh?

(gentle music)

- Comms, we good?

- Ready.

- Looks good.

- Support.

- Ready.

- Tanner.

- Ready.

- Make the call.

(phone ringing)

- [Bill] Hello.

- Hello Bill, Chief.

- [Bill] Detective Tanner.

It's good to hear your voice.

- Likewise.

- [Bill] You back in town now,

you vanished there for a while.

- Yeah, I had some things I had to think about.

- [Bill] You've been through a lot.

- So have you.

But I had some time to think about our last conversation,

the one in the warehouse.

- [Bill] What about it?

- Bring it home, you got this.

- My answer is yes, I'm in.

- [Bill] You know, why don't we take

this conversation offline.

- What assurances do I have?

- [Bill] You want your job back at the precinct.

You got it, done.

- That's not what I want Bill.

- That's not in the script.

What's she doing?

- Just hang tight.

Just give her a second.

- [Bill] Then what do you want Tanner?

Your brother back from the dead?

(upbeat music)

- I can join you or I can join my brother.

That's what you said to me, you remember that?

- [Bill] Yeah, right.

Look, I gotta go.

- No, you messed up Chief.

You're gonna pay for it.

- Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

(phone whirring)

Do you have any idea what you just did?

You have compromised our entire investigation.

- You heard what he said to me.

I'm not gonna take that.

- That's not your call to make Detective Tanner.

We had a plan and you ruined it.

Weeks and weeks of work setting up this call.

You better hope we can salvage this.

Where are you going?

- I made your call.

I'm going back to my cell.

- And when he comes after you.

- Let him.

(dramatic music)

- So the leak is gone.

Water is back on, tank full

and wa-la! You are back in business.

- Wow, I'm like really impressed.

Let me go get some cash for my handyman.

- Nah, nah, no, no charge.

- Well, thank you.

- But I do have a small request.

- So there is a fee.

- Crazy idea, but Hayden thought it might be fun

for us all to go to the rodeo together as a family.

- Hayden did?

Totally her idea?

- I mean, yeah, but I didn't object.

- Are you asking me out on a date

while sitting on the toilet?

- No it's not a date, not a date.

Not like a date, date.

It's a thing we do, a family outing.

- I'll go out with you

but I have a better idea than the rodeo.

(country music)

(pool balls clinking)

- Tough day at the office?

- Yeah, something like that.

- Two more please.

- I'm good, I appreciate it.

But I should probably call it a night.

- So you're not gonna stick around for something sweet?

I heard the pie here is really good.

- Oh, you know I'm more of a cake guy.

- I haven't seen you around here before.

What's your story?

- I'm just passing through on business.

- What kind of business?

- Private business.

- That's my favorite kind.

You know, I think I have some cake back at my place.

(footsteps walking)

(water whirring)

(gentle music)

- This is too easy, we got him.

(objects whirring)

- What do you mean he's gone?

- We got word this morning

that the Rangers are closing the investigation.

Phillips told us he called his superiors

and they agreed to shut it down.

- I messed it up.

- No, no, something else must have happened.

Phillips, he looked real shook up.

So what does this mean, Tomlinson wins?

- We'll get him, all right?

We're in the long game here.

Agent Boyer and I will open up a case with the Bureau.

It might take a couple of weeks.

- No, we need to finish this now.

- Without the Texas Rangers investigation

we have no jurisdiction at the moment.

- We don't need them.

All that's missing is the smoking gun.

Something concrete to nail him.

Travis and I, we know Tomlinson

and if he's already tipped off, we have to act

or we're not gonna have another chance.

Right Travis?

(gentle music)

- We can do this, but we need your help.

(upbeat music)
