Original subtitles

You have a wall for the ones we lost?

I wanted to make sure that I never forgot their faces

or the fact that I couldn't save them.

I've always been afraid that if something happened to me,

Jamie would be forgotten.

You know, he deserves better than that.

He deserves better than...

my last words that came out

of frustration and exhaustion.

Margaret, wherever Jamie is, he knows that you love him.

Trent should have been here by now.

Something big must be happening.

But since I have been given the gift of extra time,

there are others that I need to say a private goodbye to.

Can I help you?

We're sorry. We know it's early.

My name is Martin,

- and our son... - My son is missing.

TJ is only 13, and he can't handle the outside world.

I mean, he can, but he's... he's not a typical kid.

What Tracy is trying to say is that TJ is non-neurotypical.

He doesn't do well with strangers.

I saw what happened to Elijah McLean.

Please, help find TJ before that happens again.

If it's been three days already,

time is not on our side.

We need to know everything, and I mean everything,

starting with whatever is going on with the two of you.

This is a judge-free zone.

I need the truth to find TJ.

I'm TJ's biological father.

My late wife and I were high school sweethearts.

We got caught up in the drug thing young.

TJ was exposed in utero,

but only in the first trimester.

After he was born, sobriety was hard.

So Child Protective Services intervened

at some point, didn't they?

TJ bounced around the system

until he was placed with me.

I'm TJ's foster dad.

How long ago did you take TJ in?

Three years ago.

TJ was only 10 and very guarded.

It took a lot of time and patience,

but I won him over.

Won him over how?

I learned the things that triggered his anxiety.

Loud noises are sensory overload.

You know, change is tough.

So I just wanted to make sure that he was

prepared for the big changes.

How did you figure out how to handle TJ's special needs?

I paid for ABA services so that

TJ could learn his own triggers and how to self-regulate.

I guess I kind of learned along with him

and became the kind of parent TJ needed.

Unlike me?

I didn't say that.

Tracy, when did you re-enter the picture?

My wife passed 18 months ago.

It scared me straight.

I finally got some help.

I've been sober 15 months now.

That's huge.

- Congratulations. - Thank you.

Court agreed, because three months ago,

they ruled for reunification.

I got my son back.

Walk us through what happened the night TJ disappeared.

He was having a rough day already,

and I got called into work last minute at the garage.

I didn't have time to settle TJ into the change in schedule.

You should have made time, man, to make sure he was OK.

You know that's easy to say that when

10 minutes is the difference between you

keeping your job or not?

We don't all have money dripping from our pockets

like you.

Let's stay focused on TJ.

- When did he run? - Right before I left.

I-I assumed he went to Martin like he's done before,

and after a couple of days of cooling off,

Martin always brings him back.

Except this time, TJ wasn't with me.

And I didn't even know anything was wrong

until TJ missed our weekly check-in last night.

So TJ has been out on the streets alone for three days.

And the two men who were supposed to keep him safe

didn't even realize?

We... we messed up.

We know.

That's why we need your help.

OK, we're talking about a Black boy

who is big for his age and neuro.

He's different.

In this country, that's three strikes against him.

If the police try to approach him wrong, he'll... he'll just...

You don't need to explain.

We know.

We will find him, I promise.

These maps cover the areas around Tracy's apartment

and Martin's house.

They're not that far apart in miles,

but in socioeconomic terms, we're talking night and day.

What else do we know about TJ?

He loves DC Comics, especially "Green Lantern."

According to both fathers, his happy place is Shield Bright

Comics in Silver Springs.

He also loves hanging out in bus stations.

Tracy and Martin have two major bus stations

walking distance from them.

That's my bus station.

The one near Tracy's is my station.

Cross Routes Transport runs out of there.

The one near Martin is much larger, with at least three

times the commuter population.

That would be sensory overload for TJ.

Then we'll start with Cross Routes.

I'm OK.

I... I mean, obviously, I can't go there because of...

The restraining order.

Yeah, but more importantly,

that place is not good for my mental health.

So you guys should go.

And I will stay here and work on the comic book angle

with Zeke.

Lacey, call CPS.

See if there are other foster homes

TJ might have felt safe going to.

Dhan, with me.

It's OK, Dhan.

No matter what happens next, I need you to promise me

that you'll find TJ and bring him home.

You here for me?

We're here to protect you.

There was a shooting overnight.

Where's Trent?

At the hospital.

But he wasn't the one who was shot.

It was someone close to him.

And they were shot with Trent's gun.

The one Sir took from his house?

They retrieved the gun, but the prints

on them weren't Sir's.

They were Christian's.

So how long will it take to heal?

Oh, maybe a few weeks.

Is she gonna be OK?

Well, it looks like it was just a flesh wound, so, yeah.

That's the girl you've been seeing,

the one who left the subtle gift behind?

I'm glad she's going to be all right.

Thank you.

Now, what happened?

DCPD tracked down Sir's RV last night.

Now, Sir wasn't there, but my gun was.

That's when I got a call about Heather's shooting.

Ballistics just came back.

She was definitely shot with my gun.

How? Where?

I'll wait for the doctors to finish

before I get a full statement.

I don't understand what Christian

is trying to accomplish.

This doesn't even feel like him.

And why Heather?

To distract me.

So I would take my eyes off of you

long enough for him or his psycho brother to get to you.

There are many other ways he could make that happen.

You know, with everything going on right now,

I could probably stall your arrest for another few hours.

That gives me more time with the case.

But the safest place for you is probably in police custody.

So maybe we just turn you in now...

Hell, no.

You don't get to arrest her and call it a favor.

If I have more time, I want to spend it on TJ.

My call. Anything?

TJ did pass through the bus station

the day he went missing.

Bought a ticket to Maryland, Montgomery County.

What's in Maryland?

Just got off the phone with CPS.

Turns out TJ wasn't Tracy and his late wife's only child.

They had a son four years before TJ.

Is he still in the system?

Private adoption.

I'll do some digging, see what I can find.

Well, the secret kid isn't the only thing

Tracy forgot to tell us about.

Every month, he gets a $1,500 deposit from a personal

bank account in Montgomery County, Maryland.

Montgomery County is where TJ was headed when he

left his house three days ago.

OK, and Montgomery County isn't small.

So where is this money coming from?

And... and also, why is TJ headed there?

Maybe TJ stumbled on something

he wasn't supposed to.

Maybe Tracy went from using to dealing.

Keep his sobriety, but make some extra cash.

Tracy was jealous of what Martin's money could do for TJ.

Maybe he was tired of working paycheck to paycheck,

needed more.

Zeke, I need a name and address

of who in Montgomery County was sending Tracy that money.

Let me make a few calls to dig it up

in a completely legal way.

Stick to hacking, 'cause acting ain't it.

No. I'm sorry.

I've never seen this kid before.

No, he doesn't look familiar.

Are you sure?

Uh, give us a second, son.

- Grown-ups are talking. - Yeah, sure.

Sorry.

That's him.

That's Tracy's other son, same familial traits.

Mr. and Mrs. Stevens.

Hilary, please.

Your son Max is adopted, right?

TJ, the child we are looking for,

is your son's birth brother.

We think he may have come here to find him.

We would know if Max had a brother.

And certainly he'd stop by for a visit.

This is TJ's favorite pin.

It would take a special connection for him

to give it away.

And your son was wearing that exact pin.

There's no way that he would have it

unless TJ gave it to him.

We know you've been giving TJ and his biological father

- monthly payments. - What?

Was that money to keep him away?

OK, this story is getting more ludicrous by the second.

Can we take a look at your security camera footage

from two days ago?

- Absolutely not. - Of course.

We have nothing to hide.

There's a boy's life on the line.

I doubt if you're going to find anything useful.

But whatever we can do to help, we will.

You have my permission.

He's backing down to the post.

Three, two, one.

Oh!

For the win.

Yeah.

Can I play?

Yeah. Sure.

Oh.

Just take your time. Just take your time.

If you need to dribble lower,

just bend your knees a little bit.

I don't know what to do.

Here.

All right, so move your hands a little lower.

And then bend your knees.

Oh, my bad.

It's OK.

You don't like being touched, huh?

Yeah, I know I'm weird and stupid.

No, I don't know, man.

I think having personal boundaries is kind of cool.

- Max, go inside. - Dad, what's up?

- We're just playing. - Go inside.

- I'll be right there. - Wait.

Here. Um...

Here's my Superman pin.

I'll come back to play again sometime.

All right.

I hope so.

You will not come back here.

I know who you are.

And I pay your father so you'll all stay away.

Max is my brother.

I saw it in my dad's papers.

I never really had a brother before,

and I just wanted to say hi.

I know, kid, but Max doesn't know he's adopted.

I just need you to give him some space.

OK?

Here.

Take this 50.

Take it, and go.

I don't want to call the cops.

You raised an incredibly empathic son in Max.

It's a pity that you couldn't practice what you preach.

It was him.

As a lawyer, I've got pretty tough skin,

but seeing that bastard's smug face

is a little more than I can handle right now.

Can you go over what happened one more time?

I know it's a pain in the ass, but...

No, I get it. Of course.

Uh, I drove to Mark...

Detective Trent's place last night to check on him.

The rumors about his encounter with Sir

spread like wildfire at the courthouse.

I'm guessing that is where Christian

saw me and followed me.

All I know is he pulled up next to me

in his Jeep at a traffic light and fired

into my open car window.

I still can't believe you drove yourself to the hospital

with a bullet wound in your arm.

Like I said, tough skin.

I like her.

Try not to mess this up.

I'm pretty sure that detective was joking.

Nothing about this is funny.

This is happening because of me.

I'm sorry I ever picked you up at that bar.

I'm not.

If I let every crazy in this town steal my joy,

I would be a highly miserable person.

I like you.

I've made no secret about it.

You want to make it up to me?

Find that piece of crap Christian Evans

and bury him and his miserable brother under the jail.

That was definitely what I planned to do.

Hey.

Don't answer it.

This is Detective Trent.

Leave a message.

Did you know that Trent was seeing someone?

I didn't know it was serious, but he should move on from me.

I'm the reason why Sir almost killed him.

Should have killed Sir when I had the chance.

None of this would be happening.

People think it's easy to kill someone

who's right in front of them.

It isn't. It changes you forever.

I don't want that for you.

I want you to always be my Bella.

Good night, girls.

Sweet dreams.

Don't you dare move.

Try me.

Your instincts were right, Gabi.

With 50 bucks to spend, TJ hit

his favorite comic store.

Did anyone talk to him? Was he OK?

They wouldn't say much and were reluctant

to share their security information from that day, so...

So I hacked in and got it.

Don't touch me, don't touch me,

don't touch me, don't touch me, don't touch me.

Did he trash the store?

No, apparently, some other teens did that just before.

And then the clerk was sketchy on details after that.

He looks like one of the teens.

I want to go home.

TJ wouldn't do something like that.

Put your hands down.

Please, I... I just want to go home to my dad.

Stop resisting.

Get down! Get down!

- Get down! - Hey!

- Stop resisting. - No!

- Get down. - Ow!

- Ow! - Get down!

I wanna go home!

- I wanna go home! - I got him!

Come on! Get up.

- Stand up! - Stop!

Those bastards have him in the system.

One way or another, we're getting him out.

I am so sick of being given the runaround.

How does no one have a bead on where TJ is?

I told you, after he was arrested,

we were contacted at Child Protective Services.

Until this could get sorted out in court,

his choices were juvie for a couple nights or a group home.

And you chose group home.

A group home you are now telling us

he ran from yesterday.

That's not uncommon with troubled kids.

Call him troubled one more time.

OK.

And why didn't you just call his father, Tracy?

I did. The phone was disconnected.

I'm assuming we had an old number.

Then you call his foster dad, Martin.

It's not protocol.

Martin is not his foster parent anymore.

Well, maybe if your incompetent brain

was more worried about the actual child and not protocol,

he would be somewhere safe right now.

I'm gonna need the address of that group home.

Yes, TJ ran away yesterday, and I reported it

immediately to CPS.

But he'll be back eventually.

Why are you so sure?

They always come back to what feels safe.

Did he say anything to you while he was here

about trouble at home, or... or why he

ran away in the first place?

I'm afraid not.

He mostly kept to himself.

But he did leave his backpack behind.

I'll get it for you.

Maybe there's something in there that can help.

Excuse me.

We're playing soccer in the back.

Who wants to play? Who, who?

Do you want to come with me and my friend?

- My friend's outside! - Who?

Who's outside?

They all are, my friends!

OK, deep breaths, kid.

Lead the way.

Honey, where are your friends?

Here.

Jordan, what are the rules on being

outside without supervision?

I have supervision, Ms. Kristina.

- Lance is here. - I'm so sorry.

Jordan is on the spectrum, and he has imaginary friends

he likes to play with outside.

Uh, come on, honey.

Not near the railing.

Remember, always safety first.

Now, why don't you count to eight with me slowly

and see if we can't calm our hearts, OK?

One, two...

- Three - Three.

- Four. - Four,

five, six, seven, eight.

OK.

Good job, Jordan.

You're very good with him.

Kids are my life.

Let me get you the backpack.

Christian Evans has now been upgraded

to the prime suspect in the attempted

murder of Heather Tollin.

If you see him, do not approach.

Just call it in.

We believe he is armed and dangerous.

You think Trent's stunt with the press

might bring Sir out of hiding to save his brother?

At this point, anything is possible.

Hey, you guys.

I just went through TJ's backpack.

You got to see this.

It's a go bag full of everything you'd need

if you were on the run.

Burner phone, fidget spinner,

a very expensive raincoat.

These printed emails are from Martin to TJ,

mostly catch up stuff, but he gives

the address to his lake house.

I'm guessing these are for that hideout.

I know you're probably on your way to the lake house.

They keys are in the bag, like always.

We'll make sure you never have to go back.

Just call me.

This isn't a kidnapping.

It's a custody fight.

We'll make sure you never have to go back.

Just call me.

Look, I made that go bag for TJ

before he left for Tracy's three months ago.

All I knew about you at the time

was that you were a drug addict who was

choosing drugs over raising your own son.

Let him finish.

I love TJ.

I wasn't just going to send him away

without him knowing that if it ever got bad,

he had somewhere to go.

And that voicemail?

I left that for him when I found out he was missing.

But he never showed up to the lake house, did he?

I don't even think he got my message.

Look, I'm sorry.

I realize I was wrong about you.

You love TJ, too.

And what about your lies, Tracy?

Why didn't you tell us that TJ had an older brother that you'd

given up for adoption?

And those adopted parents have been paying

you monthly to stay away.

I didn't say anything about Max because I

didn't think it was relevant.

And when I got sober, I tried to see Max.

I knew it was too late to get him back.

He had already been legally adopted by the Stephens

when he was a baby.

I just wanted a chance to be in his life in any way

that Max was comfortable with.

But Athelstan wouldn't even consider it.

So you took the money instead.

For TJ.

Look, the extra money helps to pay

for the services he needs.

It's clear you both love him.

You need to stop fighting each other

and present as a united front for TJ.

Show him he doesn't have to choose.

Set up the press conference.

No, wait, wait.

If you sic a bunch of strangers on him

and he's triggered, this world, it isn't kind

to people that are different.

I, better than anyone, can testify to the cruel world

we all live in.

But every once in a while, as a human race, we get it right.

Trust me.

I will make sure this is one of those times.

- Hey. - Hey.

Did you get Gabi's text?

I did.

I'm still patched in to M&A.

Um...

I need you to look into something for me.

It's about the group home and Kristina.

You get a bad vibe off her?

Actually, the opposite.

I believe that Kristina believes that she's doing right

by those kids, but there's just something

about her dynamic with Jordan.

I mean, he reminds me a lot of Jamie.

And no matter how much you love them, hyperactivity like that

can just can be exhausting.

- How did Kristina handle it? - Perfectly.

Almost too perfectly.

I don't know.

I mean, maybe I'm...

I'm latching on to something that's not actually there

because I'm working on forgiving myself

for not being a perfect mom.

Hey, it's normal for these emotional landmines

to pop up with you for this case.

But let me reiterate.

You aren't a bad mother.

Thank you, Zeke.

And I'm proud of the progress you've been making.

I mean, it's a one day at a time thing.

I... I know that the bus station isn't good for me anymore,

and I'm working with a therapist for real this time

on really letting go.

I mean, I don't know how I'll be in a year,

but, um, today I'm better.

And trust your gut.

I'll, um... I'll look into Kristina and the group home.

TJ Desouza is a sweet, gifted, frank,

superhero-loving boy, a boy the system would have thrown away

for being a little different

if it weren't for the men beside me,

a birth father who loved his son enough

that he fought his own demons,

and a foster dad

who stood in the gap when TJ needed him the most.

America, I need you to hear us clearly on this.

TJ sees the world through a beautiful

non-neurotypical prism.

Please keep an eye out for him.

And if you find him,

be slow and gentle in your approach.

Introduce yourself.

Don't try to hug or grab him or even shake his hand.

Tell him that you are there to help,

and then call us here at M&A.

Gabi, with everything going on

in the manhunt with Hugh Evans and now Christian,

why take on this case?

I will do anything to make sure the TJ's of the world

are safe and protected.

I'll do anything to keep my girls safe.

"Ah,

"kill me with thy weapon,

not with words."

You truly believe you are smarter than everyone else.

That ego will be your downfall.

I know Henry VI, too, and just like King Henry

with Gloucester, I know you.

Yeah, I studied the man who wrecked my life.

And you know what?

All I have is pity for your existence.

You have never been loved.

Your father walked out on your whore of a mother

and his worthless shell of a son.

Your own mother, who labored to bring you into this world,

didn't even love you because you are nothing.

You will not stand in my way.

Gabrielle is my family.

Wrong again.

She's mine.

Fine.

Fine.

Put me out of my misery.

You've been a good mother to my Gabrielle,

which is why I'm not gonna kill you.

But you and your broken child

shall interfere no longer.

My apologies. Is that loud?

Still getting used to our new system

that will have the cops here in 90 seconds.

89, 88, 87, 86...

What happened? Are you OK?

Yeah, sorry.

I came to get Bella's kangaroo and accidentally

set off our new panic button.

Everything's fine.

We should just head back to my room for our group sleepover.

What the hell?

- What is it? - It's my home alarm.

There's someone in my house.

Gabi, slow down.

We don't know what you're walking into.

It's all clear. She's fine.

Who was it?

Perp was gone by the time we got here.

- It has to be Sir, right? - My best guess.

Gabi, does anything in this house look out of place to you?

Whoa, whoa. Hey, hey, hey, hey.

It's evidence. I have gloves on.

You don't.

"I know you don't have a reason to trust me,

"but there are things you need to know.

"I didn't do this.

"I can't explain what's happening.

"I have to protect myself.

"But I promise you, Gabi, I shot no one.

Christian."

How do we know it's really from him?

I'll run the letter for prints.

Whoa, whoa, hey, where are you going?

To talk to the only witness to the shooting.

God, you're gorgeous.

I'm Gabi Mosely.

I know.

Nice to finally meet you.

How are you feeling?

I don't really idle well, so honestly,

going a little stir crazy.

I know the feeling. I'll make this quick.

You don't have to.

Something tells me that you and I could have

fascinating conversations.

Unfortunately, I have a young boy, TJ,

who's missing, so I need to be quick.

Can you walk me through what happened with Christian Evans?

The Evans brothers are my cross to bear.

They came after you to get to Trent because...

it doesn't matter.

I just need details.

Christian may have said something to you

that only I would understand.

I wish I could help more.

But the truth is, is, Christian didn't say much.

When he shot at me from his car,

I know he seemed a little crazy,

desperate, muttered about doing this for his brother.

And then he was gone,

and I was left bleeding.

I need to take this.

You're the one, aren't you?

The one who broke Trent's heart?

I can see you still care for him.

I'll take good care of him, I promise.

What do you have, Zeke?

Why was the shutdown a whole year?

Bureaucracy?

What kind of shoddy operation was Kristina running?

We were just getting into that.

Kristina was shut down two years ago after a kid

passed away in the premises.

It was all above board.

The kid had the flu, but it took a year

for her to get back up and running.

Since then, she hasn't so much as

reported a kid with a cold.

But there was one other kid is on record as having

run away from her group home,

never to be heard or seen again.

I've been monitoring the M&A tip line,

and all the tips that came in were sightings from

the first day TJ went missing.

No sightings at all from the point

he went into the group home.

If he ran away, wouldn't someone somewhere

have seen him by now?

And why would he leave his go bag?

So maybe both kids never left the facility?

Zeke, do you have the name of the other kid

that also ran away?

Lance.

Lance is one of Jordan's imaginary friends,

the kids from the backyard.

Zeke, bring up satellite images of Kristina's backyard.

That's exactly what it looks like.

Only problem is these images are from a year ago.

How is it still under construction

with the exact same mounds and flag placements?

This is ridiculous.

I've done nothing wrong.

L for Lance.

Gabi.

How could you?

Is Lance buried in there?

Yes, but I didn't hurt him.

He passed from natural causes.

I couldn't risk another year-long shutdown.

So you just buried him out back like trash.

He's a foster kid.

He doesn't have any family.

I gave him a proper burial.

What about TJ?

Did you do the same thing to him?

He was on punishment because he

kept on coming out, asking too many questions

- about dirt and Lance. - Punishment where?

So help me, Kristina, I will...

In the mound with the pipes.

- TJ! - TJ, honey!

TJ!

TJ, make a sound!

I got something. There's some kind of box.

TJ.

TJ, baby.

It's OK. We're here.

TJ, I'm Gabi Mosely.

Your dads, Tracy and Martin, sent me to find you.

You're safe now.

Oh, thank you, God.

I'm so sorry I left.

I won't do it again.

Are you both friends now?

Yeah.

Thanks to you.

In fact, if you feel safer at Martin's,

I'm OK with you living there.

You're my dad.

So your apartment is my home.

But can Martin come visit me there?

Anything you want, son.

Um, I have a friend,

and he needs a dad.

Jordan's like me, and I thought maybe you could help him

the way you helped me.

Buddy, it would be my honor to meet him.

TJ, we have a surprise for you.

Is it OK if we let them in?

I heard you had quite the adventure, little bro.

I am so sorry for everything.

My husband didn't mean any harm.

- He was just... - Trying to protect his family.

Yes, he was.

We, um... we told Max the truth today about you and TJ.

It's nice to meet you, sir.

I guess we have a lot of catching up to do.

Oh, what about Katherine?

No, too old.

Uh, Kaylee, Kora.

How about Lacey?

It means cheerful, just like you.

Nice to meet you, Lacey.

You are going to start over in a new life.

And it's going to be so amazing.

You guys are troopers.

Thanks for helping to pack up so fast.

Did you pick a name?

Lacey.

That's a beautiful name.

Your dad just got here, Lacey.

He's helping Gabi's dad pack up the car.

I noticed the cops that are still outside since yesterday.

Oh, they're just a precaution from the alarm

going off last night.

Thank you for protecting me.

I am so glad you're getting your fresh start

at college far away from here.

I'm so sorry we won't be there to see you,

but I just think, starting over is the only way Bella...

Lacey... will get better.

Of course.

You've done so much for me already.

Thank you isn't enough.

OK, Lacey,

let's get your backpack

and make sure we're not forgetting

anything you want to keep.

Hey, it's OK.

I promise, no matter what your name is,

no matter where you are,

I will always find you.

I love you.

Thank you, Gabi.

Welcome home.

I tracked down Lance's uncle.

He's flying in tomorrow to claim his nephew,

bury him properly.

We saved TJ, but it's not enough.

It's never enough.

And now Gabi's going away.

What's gonna happen to the other missing people?

They have all of you.

But do they, though?

M&A is still broken.

And... and without you, it's gonna fall apart, Gabi.

Lacey's not ready to take over.

Maybe we accept reality,

quit while we're ahead.

Where is this coming from?

M&A can't die.

Who will look for the forgotten?

Maybe it's time to take a page out of your book.

Save themselves.

This place almost cost me my marriage.

I think it's time to call it quits.

What?

What is happening?

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I should go, too.

Margaret, I don't know what's going on,

but it can't end this way.

You set this in motion the day that you kidnapped Sir.

Hello, you.

Time and again, I've tried to tell you your so-called

team do not deserve you.

No more wasting time on them.

I always wondered what my last words to you would be.

Turns out it's "go to hell."

Step back.

You knew.

Step back, Evans.

On the ground.

Hands up.

Did you really think you could step into my sanctuary,

touch my books,

my laptop,

touch my life,

and I wouldn't figure out your plan?

That's why I had the cops stay around, staged a fight.

My family is now and forever safe from you.

It's over, you bastard.

Gabrielle, don't do this.

Gabrielle!

I told you, as soon as my family was safe,

I would turn myself in.

I'm ready.

It'll be OK.

We'll save our girl somehow.

Hi, Mom.
