Original subtitles

Describe today.

One word.

Well, not that game again.

Wednesday.

Good one, Alberg.

Well, it's better than Monday.

Ha!

Budget.

That's my word.

Votes tonight.

You read it?

I got some of what I wanted.

Kristy got some of what she wanted.

End of the day, I can live with it.

There's a 30% increase to police funding.

Five new officers so that you can solve everyone's crimes without killing yourself.

Don't get so emotional.

Well, no, it's just...

Finally.

Really need this budget to pass.

It will.

I was the last holdout and I'm on board now, so...

Thank you.

It was never personal.

Not between you and me.

Yeah, well... Thank you anyway.

You ready?

Let's do it.

Ready?

Yeah, I just pulled up to the clinic.

Did you?

Yes.

You don't have to keep checking up on me.

Maybe getting old, I can still tell a doctor.

It's hard to pee.

P-M-I, Uncle Fred.

There they are.

Let's do it.

I'm so hungry.

I'll leave you a crumb!

Now, let's go.

Hey, stop right there!

Hey, hey!

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

Close it up!

Close it up!

Stop!

Uncle Fred?

What is it?

What's happening?

Isabella, you are not going to believe this.

That's the way you saw the Van go.

East, yeah.

All went down pretty fast.

Let's go over it again.

Tell me what you saw.

Three guys, one driving, two guys jumped out.

Black ski mask, blue coveralls, average height, average weight.

Drove up, grabbed the kids and took off.

I tried to take a pic, but they were too fast.

I'll go talk to the pizza guy.

I got a BOLO out on the Van and units heading for the ferry.

Good thing you were here.

I just got the tail end.

Pretty scary.

I need an official statement.

I'll call you later for that.

Let's barricade the lot for evidence.

Station units up and down the coast, no more than ten miles apart.

We don't have enough people for that.

We'll improvise.

Call the fire department.

The pizza joint has three cameras.

The manager is sending over the footage.

Good.

The little boy is Benji.

The girl is Paulina, the babysitter.

They eat here almost every day.

Let's grab CCTV footage of all the establishments in the area.

What's with all the sirens downtown?

I'm not sure.

Carl got a call and away he went.

Someone said there was an abduction.

God, I hope not.

Flowers?

It's just something I'm looking into.

I'm going to go to the police station.

It won't be very long.

If Todd shows up before I get back... He's an hour late.

He practically lived at the library, but now that he works here...

He is here two afternoons a week, helping out.

Maybe we could use the Grant money to fix the Wi-Fi instead.

I mean, you could call him if he had a phone, but...

Yes, this might be a challenge.

Fine.

It's hard to help people who don't want to be helped.

Just saying.

Benji's a quiet kid, but he lights up when Paulina's around.

Does she always pick him up from school?

Every day.

For the past two years...

She takes him for a snack or to soccer practice and then right home.

So what happens next?

You know, you have no idea where they could be?

Most abductions involve family members.

Any ongoing disputes in yours, Mr. Norwood?

No, no.

Nobody like that.

An associate, maybe.

You own Coast Canyon.

You hire a lot of people.

You must fire a few.

In a hostage situation, every second counts.

We let one of our managers go.

Six months ago.

Curtis Penner.

He threatened me.

Threatened you?

How?

He said, I'll get what's coming to me.

That kind of thing.

I mean, he was upset, so I didn't really think much of it at the time.

He was nice enough.

Usually extremely smart.

Just his people skills.

They're not gonna hurt them, are they?

We'll do everything we can.

Meantime, stay here.

Make sure your phones are charged.

Kidnappers will make contact soon.

My God.

I have an office shoot just outside the door, okay?

I'll be right back.

Turns out Paulina Rauch isn't your typical au pair.

Her dad builds custom speedboats.

So she could have been the target.

Absolutely.

Tracked down a Curtis Penner.

Used to work for the Norwoods.

They let him go six months ago.

Okay.

Paulina's mom's in the interview room.

Hey, Dad.

Soph, what are you doing here?

Liza was supposed to walk me home from hockey.

She never showed up.

So I came to see you.

That's great, sweetheart.

Give me a minute and I'll give you a ride home.

I can take her home, Sarge.

No, no, no.

I'll just... No, it's okay.

I got it.

You focus on the case.

We might be able to grab a milkshake at the drive-thru.

That's okay with you?

Totally.

And you?

Thank you.

No problem.

Let me grab my purse.

Bye, Dad.

See you later, sweetheart.

Isabella, you're busy.

I am, crazy day.

I got this.

Hey, Cassandra.

Hi.

Did you see the chief?

Yeah, I was.

I ran across something.

I know this is a weird ask.

And it is an urgent.

I probably shouldn't bother you with this at all.

Enchanter's Nightshade.

Yeah, it symbolizes vengeance.

I keep coming across this flower at different memorial sites.

I got curious.

Just tell me it's a coincidence.

Okay.

I'll take a look into it.

Thank you.

The babysitting.

My husband hates it.

He thinks Paulina should be getting ready for college, but she loves that little boy.

Your husband, where is he now?

He's in Portland, on business.

I called him.

He's horrified and he's on the next plane home.

Anyone have a beef with you?

With your husband?

With your daughter?

No.

She's a wonderful girl.

Who would do this?

CCTV footage matches the description of a Van stolen in Olympia a few months back.

Call Olympia police.

See what they have.

Any sightings?

Multiple.

In all directions.

People keep calling, but nothing checks out yet.

Let's expand roadblocks north and south.

Yes, sir.

It's been two hours.

They could be anywhere.

Keep on the footage.

Maybe there's video of them casing the pizza joint.

Will do.

How's the family?

Frantic.

My gut is they're not involved with the kidnapping, but...

What?

Busy location, broad daylight.

A lot harder than picking somebody off a side street.

Both the boy and the sitter.

Chief, kidnappers are on with Ms. Rauch.

What's a quarter of a million dollars?

Where?

Ellington Park.

That's 20 miles northeast.

Set up a perimeter.

All access roads.

Make it discrete.

You ready?

I'm here.

Hello to any police that may be listening.

I also want an additional $250,000 in hundreds for the boy.

Bring it to the grain silo on rural road 7 in Claymore.

Claymore?

Do as I say, or the boy dies.

But my daughter.

I see cops.

Your daughter's dead too.

Alright.

We're gonna bring your daughter home, okay?

You have my word.

I made that chicken casserole, honey.

I've got a budget meeting tonight.

I'm sorry it's important.

Did you email your teachers about your homework?

Brett.

I am so fed up with this.

You are going to school tomorrow.

I hate the place, and they hate me.

They don't hate you, sweetheart.

But you can't just lie around here all day hiding.

You have exams coming up.

You're gonna lose the whole year.

So I lose the year.

What do you want?

Do you want to drop out?

And get a job doing what?

Don't know.

Well, you have to know.

You have to think about it.

You have to be logical, be smart about it.

I want you to leave me alone!

That wasn't very smart of me, was it?

Been here.

What happened?

Never mind.

Thank you for coming.

I've got a budget meeting tonight.

Oven's preheated.

You can put the casserole in for an hour.

You called me over to babysit?

I am not comfortable leaving Brett alone.

Family first, as always.

Mum.

Holman Developments.

I know, sweetheart, I know.

You can work from here.

Just don't use my computer.

This is like a ten-bell fire.

I think fires only have five bells.

I don't think you understand.

The budget has to pass.

Without roads, without infrastructure, we won't be able to break ground.

I understand.

I won't accept.

I've been emailing you all day.

Would you stop emailing!

My God!

I am so sorry.

I'm sorry.

Robert and I stepped up.

When you needed us, we are running your company.

I know.

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I love you.

We're monitoring all roads in and out of Ellington.

And Claymore?

They're good to go to, Chief.

It's been over an hour.

Still nothing on the roach phone.

All units stay back from the job sites.

You see anything, report immediately.

Don't move until I say so.

Choppers don't stand by sweat, too.

Two job sites, 40 miles apart.

Yeah, one doesn't pan out.

They got the other one.

Double the risk.

Cheek.

Curtis Penner, interview room.

All the force hit.

Anything changes.

Come get me.

This one says contemporary and confident, right?

This one says mysterious.

And alluring.

They're both great.

Yeah, but what I really need is one to say, not nervous as hell, that this is a

blind date and the first date that I've had in five years.

My gosh.

You have to help me.

He's taking me to the silent auction thing tonight at the Gibsons Club.

Ooh.

And he's the new hospital administrator.

I mean, I could get laid and have free health care for life.

Both the black, it's classic.

You're just saying that.

The white, then.

No.

Black.

Mysterious.

There you go.

I was glad to help.

Okay, okay.

Now you have to help me pick shoes and earrings.

I have at least six different pairs.

Do we like the straps?

How do we feel?

Cats?

No.

Yeah.

They're good.

They're good.

Great.

Looks great.

Curtis Penner.

The Norwoods let you go six months ago.

Why?

They called it a bad fit.

What would you call it?

A difference in priorities.

The Norwoods said you threatened them.

I spoke in anger, yes.

I was upset, but I've moved on.

So you're working now.

You're still unemployed.

It's tough.

I have a very specialized skill set.

I'm selective.

That's not a crime.

Why am I here, the boy?

I heard it on the radio.

If I'd have abducted him, I wouldn't be sitting here, would I?

Look, I don't like the Norwoods, but I'm not a monster.

Benji is a nice kid.

I hope you find him.

Where were you earlier today?

Helping my neighbor with her taxes.

I hear you're good with numbers.

Just to knock over people.

I find most people are overrated.

Police officer, we'll see you out.

Case in point.

Sarge, you're not gonna believe this.

A call just came in.

She says she's Paulina Rauch.

Paulina, this is Sergeant Sokolowski.

Where are you?

Morrow Point.

I'm in Morrow Point, outside the gas station.

Gas station at Morrow Point.

Closest car in an ambulance.

Blocking on the area.

Paulina, we got people on the way.

What I need you to do right now is I need you

to get off this phone and go hide somewhere.

Listen for the sirens.

We're less than five minutes out.

Can you do that for me?

Please hurry.

All right, go now.

Tell the chief.

Okay.

So where is she?

Okay, I got there a little bit late.

Someone said that she came here.

We're dealing with a violent abduction of two innocent kids.

Yeah, I know that.

And you can't be bothered.

Your own little sister.

I just said I... What the hell is wrong with you?

I don't have time for this.

Liza?

Liza?

And she's gone.

That needed to happen, my humble opinion.

I'm her dad, Izzy.

She'll survive.

Once I freed my hands, I opened the door and I just ran.

My God, Benji's gonna be so terrified.

You're gonna help us find him.

I need you to breathe.

And tell me everything you remember.

We were together in the Van.

We rode for a while.

And then we stopped and they took us inside.

Somewhere.

They?

Two of them.

I was blindfolded.

I never saw faces.

And Benji was with you?

He was crying.

They took him to a different room.

A place where they held you.

Any details help?

It was big, I think.

It smelled like potatoes.

Like musty, stale potatoes.

The whole area.

And I heard a bell.

Like a church bell?

No, like a store, when you go in.

Then they took me out again.

With Benji?

Just me.

They put me in a car.

We drove for a while.

And then it stopped.

And the man got out.

I don't know where he went.

But this was my chance.

I used my feet to open the door.

And I just ran.

That's my girl.

I think I'm looking for you.

If he did, I didn't see him.

The man who took you.

Can you describe him to me?

No.

It all happened so fast.

I was...

What is it?

His hand.

The man who blindfolded me.

There was a scar on his wrist, like a burn.

V-shape poking out of his cuff.

I never should have left Benji.

You have to find Benji.

I'm supposed to take care of him.

He did the right thing.

Hey.

You're an incredibly brave young woman.

And we are going to find him.

Stale potatoes.

That's what she said.

I worked in a cedar mill, summers, when I was in high school.

Fresh-cut yellow cedar smells like stale potatoes.

What is it in the earth?

Porpoise Bay.

Mill was shut down for years, but it's up and running now.

Kid might be held in an abandoned retail space in the area.

Larkin's base there.

Get him on it.

Larkin's up and out right now.

Doc Clyburn's in Porpoise Bay.

How do I do it?

She's not a cop.

All hands on deck.

Okay.

Call the Department of Corrections.

Have them run their database.

Paulina said her kidnapper had a V-shaped burn scar right wrist.

They might get lucky.

Cassandra.

Hard at work.

Christy?

You know, I really should come in here more often.

All these curious moms in various states of osmosis.

How can I help?

Task at hand, yes.

Okay, so the final, final draft of the budget.

Staff just put it out.

Yeah, I got a notification in my email.

Dismiss that.

Final, final.

I just want to give you a heads up that there are some minor tweaks.

Purely cosmetic.

Nothing that would alter the spirit of our discussion.

We're voting tonight.

Yeah, well, this is your first budget, so you will see

that this is very common practice to hone the rough edges.

I just, I just didn't want you to feel blindsided.

Cassandra.

Todd.

Hey.

I was getting worried.

No, it's cool.

Everything's cool.

You okay?

Yeah, I, I said that I would help out here, just with

shelves and stuff and stacking, I promise, Cassandra.

That's nice.

Well, I just, I've just been really busy with this and that.

You know, I just don't have a lot of time for the, the work here.

Remember what we spoke about?

Breathe.

Just...

Thank you.

Should I start with those?

Yes.

Brie will help you.

Brie, can you get Todd started?

I'll just be a minute.

Thank you.

I'm so happy you're here.

Yeah, I promise, you know.

You two know each other.

I was visiting a patient of mine a while back, and Todd came into emergency

with chest pains and dizziness, and they thought he

was having a heart attack, but I took a second look.

Todd told me a doctor diagnosed him with a panic disorder.

Add autism spectrum disorder to the mix.

It's tough.

Yeah, well, I found a Grant, job training, hopefully that'll help.

Well, it well may.

But if I could just recommend... Please.

There's a good chance that he's never actually held down a

job, so just ease him in slowly and, and, and don't expect...

I imagine he's terrified of disappointing you.

There are medications that could help.

Does he have a family doctor?

I don't think so.

Okay, well, send him by my office.

We'll take care of him.

Kristy, thank you.

Of course.

See you at seven o'clock in chamber this evening.

Still no ransom call on Benji.

Been nearly three hours.

Doesn't make any sense.

Paulina was blindfolded.

Her hands tied behind her back.

She was left in the car.

Her kidnappers let her get away, so it's like she didn't matter to them.

It's all about Benji.

Why call Paulina's family for ransom money?

Hang on.

I don't know what this is, but this is not just an abduction.

Boss, it's Clyburn.

She thinks she found the place where the kids are being held.

Alberg here.

Doc, what you got?

Paulina was right.

Used to be a store.

The building's empty now on Halverson Road, six blocks from the mill.

Local techs are dusting for prints.

They held the boy in the front and the girl in the back.

Kidnappers, they leave anything behind?

Not that I can tell, but Benji left his toy.

Chief Alberg?

It just started ringing.

Answer it.

Hello?

Hello, Mr. Norwood.

And whoever else is listening.

This is Chief Alberg.

Before this goes any further, we need proof of life.

I want to talk to Benji.

Proof of life.

Fair enough.

Benji!

Benji, it's Dad!

It's gonna be okay!

Okay, we're gonna go!

I need you to stay calm, please.

Okay?

What do you want?

You have to make up for the girl, so the price is double.

Half a million.

The old distillery in Feller Cove.

Three hours.

We'll get the money.

I know this doesn't feel like it, but this is a positive development.

Okay?

I'll be right back.

Full perimeter around Feller Cove.

Let me know when it's set up.

Copy that, Sarge.

Seventy-five miles west.

This guy's all over the place.

Look at this.

What do you see?

Looks like he's in some kind of garage.

Benji's face.

He looks calm, which is strange given what he's been through.

Maybe they drugged him.

Or maybe he knows his characters.

Layla, shift gears.

I need you to focus on neighbors, friends, schools.

You need to retrace Benji and Paulina's routine.

We're looking for somebody Benji's familiar with.

Sid, check in with Clyburn and see if the techs come up with anything at the store.

Got it.

Sarge, I think I got something.

This is A-1 Pizza, where Benji and Paulina were abducted.

The security camera footage came in.

This is from last week.

Pause it right there.

Can you zoom in on that?

Yep.

That's the same toy Clyburn found at the store.

Here's the other angle.

His name's Wayne Folks.

He's the pie man.

And the manager said that he called in sick the last couple days.

Nicely done.

We'll tell the boss.

Hey.

Not enough of this.

It's time to roll.

It's too dangerous, Wayne.

Because I said so.

What about the drop?

It's too risky.

Be right back.

Okay, buddy.

Hey, what's happening?

I'm not gonna do the drop.

Too many eyes and not enough time.

We're gonna move on to the main event now.

What about Benji?

None of that.

Happens to me, too.

It's okay.

It's a hazard of the job.

Which book?

King Arthur, right?

Nor ever yet had Arthur fought a fight like this last, dim, weird battle of the West.

Tennyson, I wrote a term paper in college.

Wow.

You like it.

Well, probably not as much as you do.

I have to go to town council, so when you're done

with those, I think you're finished for the day.

Cassandra...

I, you know, I...

I screw things up.

No, you don't.

Not today.

Until my parents said.

Are they around?

Your parents?

My mom is in Boston.

Math department.

And my dad is an engineer, but we don't see eye to eye on things.

And so I was staying with my brother up the coast

a little bit, but he went away to work on the rigs.

So here I am.

I like it in Gibsons, though.

Mostly.

I like it here.

Anyway, tomorrow then, yeah?

Yeah.

Come whenever you want, and look, if you're doing

something that you don't like, just let me know.

And we'll find something else.

Deal?

Okay.

Okay.

Deal.

Thank you.

No movement on the drop site?

No phone call.

I miss drops.

Usually bad news.

It's not good, but it's not over.

Unis went to Wayne Folks' house.

Looked like he packed up.

Long gone.

We put a BOLO out.

All these locations on this map, what's it look like to you?

Devil-eyed buckshot.

It's just random.

Stochastic art.

Sted-a-who-what?

Seemingly random strokes and points.

Doesn't look like much until you step back and see it.

The whole picture.

Benji's not the target.

He's collateral damage.

So they're after something else?

This is just a distraction.

But from what?

Worst case scenario, a terrorist attack.

More likely some sort of heist.

I need two lists.

Possible targets for each.

Something wrong?

Have you read this?

I read Christy's summary.

Entire sections are gone.

Really?

Everyone, meeting's upstairs in ten minutes.

Christy?

Minor tweaks?

This eviscerates social spending.

Housing, support groups, mental health.

No one else had a problem with it.

Yeah, no one else has read it.

Look, there are many, many difficult decisions to

be made, but we preserve the truly essential items.

The police budget.

Carl will be relieved.

We had an agreement.

I know that these programs are near and dear to you, Cassie.

But I was elected on a growth platform, and

infrastructure money has to come from somewhere.

See, you lied to me.

You lied to me.

To my face.

Do you know why people vote for me, Cassie?

Because I can make difficult decisions.

And why do you think they voted for me?

Well, I think you'll find that the rest of the council is with me.

Six Banks and Gibsons, a couple dozen over all

across the Sunshine Coast and jewelry stores.

Chief, Doc Clyburn just called.

They found prints in the store where the kids were held.

They got a hit.

On it.

Donovan Hurst, from Boulder City, Nevada.

He did five years for armed robbery, a bank in Des Moines, released in 2024.

He was also believed to be connected to earlier bank jobs in.

New Mexico and Idaho, but nothing on this level of complexity.

According to his record, Hurst is nothing but a thug.

Maybe it's something he was building up to.

He did just have five years' worth of time on his hands.

Where was he working, with someone else?

Someone smart.

Maybe someone he met in prison.

Let's drill down into Donovan Hurst.

I'll check his socials.

Okay, I'm here.

All right.

Let me know if anything changes.

Babe, we can do this.

Of course we can.

Next thing you know, we'll be on that beach.

Trouble's behind us.

Yeah.

He's just a little kid.

What do we do?

We can't just leave him here.

Well, only other options.

They show him.

My gosh.

Look at all this stuff.

Is that the Lundy painting?

It is, yeah.

Smaller than I thought.

So, this is the Gibson's Club.

You know, I have lived here my whole life.

And I have never been inside.

That's the Marin Collection.

I hear it's worth millions.

Yes, it's stunning.

So, you've really never been here?

It's not surprising.

I wouldn't join a club if they had me as a member.

Someone said that once.

I can't really remember.

I think it was one of the Marx Brothers.

I think you're right.

It was Zappo or Harpo or maybe it was Karl?

Sorry, I babble when I'm nervous.

I'm sure you've picked up on that already.

You're doing great.

Hello.

Would you like some champagne?

Yes, please.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Enjoy your evening.

Cheers.

Christy and I, Mayor Holman, sat down last week to talk through our priorities.

And I thought that we'd had a meeting of minds.

And then an hour ago, I get this new budget.

With Christy's minor tweaks.

Mayor Holman insists that this isn't personal.

And she's right, it doesn't matter if I feel hoodwinked.

That's politics.

But what does matter, first and foremost, is that I am a resident of Gibsons.

I am a member of this community.

And as that person, I cannot live with the priorities of this new budget,

with its minor tweaks and its pandering to developers.

So I am voting no.

I can live with the duplicity, with the broken promises.

But I can't live with this vision for our community.

How about you?

Is anyone as disgusted as I am?

Six banks, three jewelry stores, spot on standby, no movement.

Gee, I checked Hurst's online presence.

There wasn't much.

But he did get married six years ago.

Vegas Wedding posted photos.

Stop.

That's Curtis Penner.

He said put out of BOLO.

Let's go.

I think you should bid on the necklace.

Okay.

Everybody down!

On the floor, now!

Hands where I can see them!

Hands where I can see them!

Ruth, stay down!

Forged to against four of us?

Did you see the look on Holman's face?

What happens now?

We'll figure it out.

Good hand to you, Lee.

You may be new to politics, but that was one stemwinder of a speech.

Sean, Willa, congratulations.

I did what I thought was right.

I'm sure it felt terrific.

Up there, center stage, being right.

Christy, I'm still willing to work with you.

We just revamp the budget, we take another vote.

In due time.

But in the meantime, the budget is frozen, thanks to you.

There's no money for anything.

Not the arts, not social services, not development.

And there's no extra funding for the police.

Perhaps you'll let Carl know that.

Don't move!

Nice and calm now.

You, clearly, take that bag, load it up with jewelry.

Every piece you can get in there.

Go, go.

Nice and calm.

Stay down.

Stay down.

Phyllis, my god, you're not gonna believe it.

You, stay down.

Right down.

Phil?

Stay down.

Nice and calm.

Hey!

Drop it on the table.

On the table.

On the table.

On the table.

Get down.

Move again, please.

Hey, you.

It's not a good time.

I gotta call you back.

Carl, there is something happening at the Gibson's Club.

It's a charity auction.

Phyllis just called me and I heard screaming.

It's the Gibson's Club, go.

Yes, sir.

All units to Gibson's Club.

Go, go.

You good?

Yeah, yeah, good, good, good.

You.

That painting right there.

Grab that painting.

Right there.

Move.

Stay down.

Thank you.

Wait.

There's a liability.

You have to go.

Come on.

Let's go.

Phyllis, it's over.

Drop the weapon.

Get on your knees.

On your knees.

Back up.

Stay down.

Hands behind your back.

Behind your back.

Drop it.

Sit.

Gun!

Dispatch, this is Phillips.

We are code four at the Gibson's Club.

Two suspects down.

Send ambulances.

Where's the kid?

Where's Benji?

He's working.

Yeah.

Keep breathing.

Keep breathing.

Look at me.

Where's the kid?

Your wife was taken to the hospital.

I'm sorry she didn't make it.

The boy, Hurst.

Immunity.

At least tell me the boy's still alive.

We found a dead crew member in the club.

Wayne Folks.

A student you picked up on account of his relationship to the boy.

My bet is forensics matches the bullet that killed him to your gun.

That's felony murder.

Abduction.

Armed robbery.

You're looking at 20 years minimum.

And if Benji's dead...

Immunity.

I'll get Curtis Penner to cooperate.

He's the brains of the operation, isn't he?

Boss, we just picked up Penner.

He was making a run for the ferry.

Immunity.

Boy goes home tonight to his folks.

Boy's still alive.

This is outrageous!

Where's Benji?

I had nothing to do with that.

We have Hurst in custody.

It's now and ever.

If you want to be the first to talk if something happens

to that boy, I swear you'll never see the light of day.

There's a farmhouse in Porpoise Bay.

North of here.

Show I live another life...

Hey.

I'm just writing my statement.

Sarge, well, it's fresh.

That was a justifiable use of force.

It did exactly what I would have done.

Okay.

Thank you.

As awful as it is, you did your job.

And you saved my life.

So thank you.

This is just a formality.

I'll get you a ride home when you're done.

No, I can drive myself, Sarge.

Not tonight.

If you need someone to talk to.

All right.

Just... tired.

All right.

I'm here if you need me.

Why is it after midnight?

Dad, I'm kind of stuck.

I need a ride.

What's wrong, sweetheart?

I'm at a party.

Don't have a fit.

Some people I met, older kids that...

They offered me a ride.

Now I'm all to hell and gone up at Sudo.

Sudo Lake?

Yeah.

Could you just come and get me?

Please, things are getting out of hand.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Just hang tight.

I'm on my way.

Hey, your uncle was a great help today.

Thank you for me.

No, I will.

I'm sure he's gonna be talking about this one for years.

I just wish that I had been there.

There's so much more I could have done.

Well, you'll have plenty of opportunity for

self-recrimination when you're a public defender.

Actually, I've been thinking about pulling my law school applications.

Why?

I've been attending these pre-selection seminars, and they're just, they're intense.

The students, they're all these hardcore type A's, and

I read slower, and I need time to process things, and...

I'm just not sure I'm cut out for it.

Hey, Isabella.

You have more heart and dedication than anybody I know.

Please see this through.

Just think of all the lies you're gonna change.

You hadn't heard?

I waited.

I left you a note.

We found the boy.

Yeah, I heard.

Fire department helped with Roadblocks.

Medical examiner was out saving kids.

I had the day from hell.

You wanna talk about your day?

Holman rewrote the budget.

She gutted it.

I couldn't just roll over.

My team's been running on fumes for weeks, and you knew that...

Carl, this is about more than the police department.

Well, you explain that to the parents or the kids we just saved.

Can you tell that to the officer who's gonna have

to live with having shot and killed someone today?

That's awful.

I'm sorry.

Obviously, this isn't how I wanted the budget to go.

Christy left me no choice.

I was the only one who was gonna stand up to her.

She cut funding from housing, from mental health... Are you done?

I promised Phyllis I'd go to her house, spend the night.

She's...

Today's been hard.

Lucky her.

Don't be like this.

You tell me again how this isn't personal.
