Original subtitles

The Lord is my shepherd.

I shall not want.

He lieth me down in green pastures.

He leadeth me beside still waters.

He restoreth my soul.

He leadeth me to righteousness in his name's sake.

For thou art with me, O Lord. Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life.

And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Think you can hide behind that book?

God hates sick bastards like you.

Who's dead?

Check fast response.

Okay,

get in.

Wait, you need glass, right?

Get in.

Male victim in France. We're about 15 minutes outside of your facility.

Requesting a traffic team on standby.

Yeah, you know how to walk.

Through the valley of the shadow of death.

I thought we were well enough.

You are with me.

You are with

me.

Officers need immediate assistance.

Route 6 near Elmhurst. I've got three people down.

Mel Foster has escaped.

Thank you. Let me propose a toast. How about that? Okay.

I'm on.

So, Kit and Noah, old friends in a new town.

Cheers.

Kit, I just want to say how great it is to see you doing so well, considering

everything you went through after you came home and before.

You know, I prayed for you every day that you were gone.

Thank you, Mrs. Ager. That's really kind.

Call me Tracy, and it's true.

We're so happy for you. Hey, come on.

For both of you. Trace, Trace, you pick it up.

Jukebox here. Help me pick something. Come on. It's weird telling me to change

the subject.

I hope I wasn't out of luck. No, no, no, no. You're okay.

You're fine.

She had to bring it up. It's fine.

It's really not. No, it is. Really not. It's fine.

Look, six months ago, maybe I would have gotten up and walked out, but right now

I'm fine.

Yeah.

They're really cute together.

Yeah.

Oh, um... Sorry, this is... No, no, Frank, it's gonna take a second. Just...

Frank,

hi. What's up? This better be good. I'm with Noah's parents right now.

Frank,

I... Can you say it again? I can't hear you.

Mel Foster escaped from prison four hours ago.

More lights out the way.

How'd it go down?

Mel had an altercation with an inmate. That inmate is dead.

Then Mel got stabbed, loaded into an ambulance.

Now we have this. The driver, the EMT, and the guard are all dead.

The fight was a setup.

Looks like he's been planning this for a while.

And he had some help.

You remember that spiritual advisor, Sister Helen Ross?

Yeah. She rode the ambulance.

Now she's gone.

Maybe he took her hostage.

Her fingerprints were on the syringe.

She jabbed the EMT with a fatal dose of fentanyl.

Then Mel overpowered the guard and stabbed him and the driver to death.

What about Mel's sad wound?

Oh, it's legit, all right. His blood's all over the bed.

He knew.

He knew he was going to do this when I saw him in prison last week.

We're going to end this.

Yeah.

To recap our top story, Mel Foster, who infamously abducted six-year-old Kit

Lanigan 20 years ago, has escaped from prison.

I'm okay.

Where are you?

I'm with Frank. I'm okay, but I gotta go.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Okay,

go do your thing.

All right, I'll call you later.

You good?

Yeah, I'm fine. Okay, so we all know why we're here.

Pittsburgh field office is coordinating this manhunt, but...

Because of our knowledge of Mel, they've asked us to participate.

Let's start with what we know.

Helen Roth.

That's a legal name change.

Born Marguerite Cousins. Former Salesian nun. She led the order to pursue a

career counseling inmates.

She's got legit creds.

Degrees in theology and criminal psychology.

That's a hell of a twin, Bill.

Yeah. Well, she's no longer affiliated with any religious order, but she kept

her title.

She started counseling Mel four months ago.

He must have turned her. But four months isn't much time.

Even for a master manipulator like Mel. Maybe she got turned before she met Mel.

By Legion.

All right.

James, you, Kennedy, and I are going to focus on Sister Helen Ross, find out who

she really is. And if she did plan this with Legion, let's find out how. You two

guys go back to the prison. Maybe Mel left a clue.

He wouldn't do that, Frank. He's too smart for that.

Yeah, he's smart.

But don't forget, we caught him once before.

He's not done with her.

And he never will be.

He likes the classic.

He could quote all kinds of books. A lot of our books are donated by colleges.

Law books are popular, but we get medical books, too.

I'll leave you to it.

Thanks.

Bishop?

You shouldn't have had this photo.

He knew I'd see it.

He knew that I'd be standing right here after he escaped.

Bishop, remember when you told me that I was in a box?

And there wasn't any lock on the door anymore, but I was in a box.

Yeah, I was being a... No, no, you were right.

I was.

But these last six months working these cases with you guys, I feel like I got

out.

But what if I was just lying to myself?

What if I was only okay because I knew that he was in here?

Mel dog-eared this page on puncture wounds.

Between the eighth and ninth ribs on the left side, there's only a place in the

torso you could suffer a stab wound and miss the heart, liver, and lungs.

Right there.

I really studied that.

If I'm a place to stab myself, I get the most blood and the least damage.

Kathy, what's up?

Last week, when I saw you, you said I couldn't hurt you anymore.

Do you still think that's true?

She called me from the bus stop. She said that you had texted her about

meeting at the gym after school and she was going to walk over.

I never texted her.

They cloned your number, made it look like you were texting her.

The gym's so close to the bus stop. It's such a busy street.

It seems so safe. I never thought... I'll have James check the cameras at

your gym. This man, Mel Foster, what does he want?

I never told you this, but I read your mom's book.

I know what he did to you.

Look, we won't stop until Cassie's back home.

We'll be in touch.

Okay, there's Kathy. A time stamp puts her at the gym at 3.13 p.m.

She's checking her phone.

She's probably wondering where I am.

Nell only targeted her because of me.

If it wasn't for me, none of this would have even happened.

Hey, get your mind right.

Kathy needs you 100% focused on finding her.

Wait, is she talking to somebody?

Who's she talking to?

I can't see. They're just out of frame.

It looks like she followed them into the alley.

There's no cameras behind there.

They surveilled her place. Knew exactly where to stand to avoid the cameras.

I don't get it.

Mel and Legion had the network's old fortune, right? Why not go to Southeast

Asia or South America, live like kings, and reboot the network there?

That's probably their plan after they're done.

Done with what?

Me.

Jake, give me a minute.

Yeah.

I think Mel is trying to set a trap for you.

I want you to sit this one out.

No. No, Frank.

Cassie needs me.

Yeah. Well, this is not your run at the Mel Predator.

I know.

But I have to do this.

And you of all people know what that feels like.

Please.

Come on, get out of here. Do it. Thank you.

This is from their last meeting.

One wish to contend with him. He could not answer him.

One time out of a thousand.

What does the 51st one mean to you?

For me, it's about forgiveness.

It's all just prayers and parables.

Think you were planning a jailbreak? They must use ESP because they did not

talk about it.

Wait.

Go back ten seconds.

Now throw this clip on a different screen. Go back to where Sister Helen

first arrived.

Damn.

You know, play both clips again side by side.

Now, zoom in.

She took his Bible. And he took hers.

There are plans in here.

In Mel's Bible.

Now we just have to find it.

Hello? Hey, it's Neil Pruitt.

Don't hang up. No, I don't have time for this right now, okay? I heard about that

girl that went missing.

I saw something.

This is some sort of a secret.

Joke? I swear to God. No, no, it's not.

Meet me at your gym in 20 minutes, all right?

Okay,

there's

no easy way to say this, so I'm just gonna say it.

But don't freak out.

The last few months, I've had a camera set up behind your place. The camera has

a motion sensor hooked up to it.

It takes a picture every time someone passes through the alley.

Show me.

The Sabrina case.

That's when I knew you were working with Frank Novak.

A famous abduction victim, working with the FBI, cracking cases.

I mean, that's the kind of story that gets you out of working for the buzz

lines in the world.

Into the People magazines.

The photos pushed to my phone. That's how I knew.

All right, I'm going to need this.

Yeah.

Okay.

So you said this has been back behind here for a couple months, right?

Mm-hmm.

So this man, he's been staking my place out.

Maybe you have another picture of him?

Well, when the memory card's full, it backs up the oldest photos to a hard

drive back at my place. I'll check, but it might take a while.

I have a bunch of these cameras all over town.

That's a lot of photos to look through.

Right, of course.

You know, I hope it was worth it.

I hope you got that People magazine gig.

Actually, People passed.

It's probably for the best. Besides, I like being my own boss.

Better to...

Rule in hell and serve in heaven, right?

Now, if you want to give me an exclusive on this story... Yeah, I'll do whatever

you want.

Okay?

I'll do photos, I'll do an interview, I'll do anything.

If we find Jesse.

Done.

Hey. Kick. So Neil Pruitt planted a camera behind my apartment. Go through

the footage. Let me know what you find, all right? Kit.

What?

What's up?

Kit, this is Deputy Director Moss. Hi. Nice to meet you. Can I talk to you for

two minutes? Kit, we have a problem.

Miss Lanigan, last week, you and Agent Bishop engaged a suspect at a farmhouse

outside of town. You discharged your weapon.

Yeah, I did.

A suspect who was discharging his weapon at my partner.

So Bishop laid him out.

Which was the finding of the preliminary report, but the full ballistics have

come back now.

Agent Bishop did not kill that suspect, Ms. Lanigan. You did.

As I told Agent Novak before, you were brought onto the team as an advisor, not

a field agent.

The director has ordered a full review of the shooting.

Pending those results, I'm afraid that effective immediately.

You're off this task force and off this case.

No, no, no, no. You can't do that. It's done.

I'm going to need your firearm, and this agent will escort you home.

Frank, can I please talk to you for two minutes? Two minutes, please. I can't.

Frank, we promised Cassie's mom.

All right? Please, just give me a minute to talk to you. Come on.

Please.

Catherine, can you do me a favor?

Two minutes.

Let's go.

You can't do this. Listen, listen to me. My hands are tied.

This is coming from the director. Frank, you don't understand.

You can't do this.

I saw this garbage in the army.

You have something to say, Agent Bishop?

Yeah, I do.

Josh. No, you had no problem putting Kick's ass on the line when she was

saving the kid or taking credit, I bet. But now, your ass is getting heat and

you're shocked she fired her gun?

This task force may be Frank's brainchild, but I'm responsible if

anything goes wrong.

That shootout last week, that man who was killed, it could just as easily have

been Kick. Do you ever think about that?

Every day, Deputy Director.

But she doesn't need to be protected.

That might be what you want. Hell, it might even be what I want, but it's not

what she needs.

So you're a psychologist now?

No, just a partner.

Now I'm going to need your firearm.

I don't need a chaperone. You're getting one.

Our daughter Cassie was taken from us earlier today.

She's 11 years old, brown hair, brown eyes, and she means the whole world

does.

Please, if anyone is watching this and they know anything about what happened

to her, please contact the FBI.

What are you doing?

Coding.

With a Bible?

We know Mel and Legion were using this Bible to pass messages back and forth.

If we can break the key, we can break the code.

How do you do that?

We start with numbers, as in the book of Numbers.

So James figured they'd try a substitution cipher. And sure enough,

you see these highlighted first numbers?

Mel and Legion are telling each other which words to read and which to

discard. We're assuming from another book in the Bible.

How do we know which one? We don't.

The Bible's huge. There are too many combinations. We need the computer for

that. It's cranky now.

If any luck, we should have the code cracked within the hour.

This is brilliant.

Where'd you learn this? Quantico?

East Village.

Whoa. We're less than an hour. Frank!

It's a polyalphabetic cipher. Much trickier than a monoalphabetic.

Ingress, please.

I found the key to their code in the Book of Numbers. Now I know where to

apply it.

My name is Legion.

May I earn the glory you once brought to the name.

Bummer they took my gun, huh?

Hey,

it's Neil.

I found a bunch of new photos. I had to put them on a thumb drive.

I think I want to see these.

I'm going to call you on your landline.

It took you so long.

Shut up. Did you bring it?

Moss. She's gone. What?

Find her.

Kit Lanigan just broke out of protective custody.

You ready?

Yeah. Yeah. No, no, I don't know.

I don't know.

Kick.

You're ready.

Bishop.

Whatever happens to me,

I'm going to kick your ass.

Okay? If I let you.

Holly. I want you back.

Gotta go.

Hey. She got it.

Understood.

We decoded 11 messages Mel and Legion sent each other over the last few

months. The first few messages are love letters.

Legion saying how great Mel is, how he hopes he can make Mel proud.

Okay. So Legion's a fan of Mel's.

Well, things changed after we rescued Gabriel Carter.

Legion's tone goes way dark.

An earlier message mentioned busting Mel out of jail.

Now it becomes an obsession.

The goal is to bust Mel out and rebuild the network bigger and better than ever.

Which is going to take a lot of money, which is why they kidnapped Kevin

Spencer to get to Mel's fortune.

And now they have that. So what's the plan now?

Get out of Dodge.

Somewhere with loose law enforcement where they can run the network without

interference.

There's just one thing they want to do first.

Kill Kick.

Along with the man who rescued her.

Okay.

I hate guns.

Sometimes I wonder how much you remember about before.

I remember that.

It was Easter, and you and I colored those eggs, and then we wrote our names.

On white crown.

Yeah. One for you, one for me, one for Dad.

You know, Mom, for the first time, I feel like I understand what you went

through.

I mean, Tessie's not my daughter, but I get it.

Mom, Frank found me, but you saved me.

Yeah, kick.

Hey, it's Neil.

I got him. The man you're looking for.

Two weeks ago in the alley with the same woman.

You can see his face plain as day.

Okay, yeah.

Text me the address and I'm on my way.

All right.

Can I use your car?

Yeah, yeah.

Okay.

You know what I'm going to say.

You're going to say be careful.

I love you. I love you.

Thank you.

You guys are really...

Mom's Catholic.

My dad's nothing.

What about you, Kennedy? You're Methodist, right?

It's been a while.

I went to Jesuit school.

Used to have this priest.

He said that within each of us is a good dog and an evil dog.

And that these two dogs are forever battling each other.

So...

Which dog wins?

Whichever dog you feed the most.

I've seen a lot of cases.

A lot of bad stuff.

No matter what I saw.

I always fed that good dog, no matter what.

But then along comes a guy like Mel.

And he just makes me want to feed the bad dog.

He just makes me want to...

Bandit.

Guys, I got something.

This is Bill Baker's Melfoster file. Goes back 30 years.

Bill Baker?

The agent who was on the Melfoster case before Frank.

I haven't seen this in years.

It's hundreds of pages long.

Look at this notation Baker made.

Three kids who were abducted in the early 90s. Michael Perra, Justice

Spivey, Marissa Batten.

Mel was in the vicinity when those kids were taken, but Bill never had enough

evidence to charge him.

Hey. Hi.

Come on in.

Do you have the pictures?

Yeah, yeah, I got them.

I ran a search on each kid.

Martha Batanzas turned up in 05 in Seattle. She's been arrested for

soliciting. She's been in and out of jail ever since.

Michael Para was never found.

Joseph Spivey turned up in 2001.

He was 19. He'd been living on the street. Now, here's what's weird.

Last year, Spivey vanished off the grid, gone, like he wanted to disappear.

Last time Trace of him was in 2015.

He's listed as self-employed as a photographer.

Look right here. Okay. Look at the butterfly.

Welcome home, Beth.

I can only imagine how you must be feeling.

I see you sitting there, and I see your friend, and all I can think is,

what's past is prologue.

I taught Kit Shakespeare all the classics. She was a quick learner. I bet

you will be, too.

Maybe they found a bit more loyal.

More appreciative of everything our father has for us.

Yes.

So what's your name?

Not the name that Mel gave you when he took you.

But your real name. Your real name from before.

Mel always did say you were smart.

I know what it's like.

To have him in your head and to think that you'll never be free.

Oh, I'm free.

No, you're not.

Because if you were free, you would have killed me when I joined the team.

Or when we found Kevin Spencer last week.

But you didn't.

Because it's not what he wanted.

Mel wanted this.

Joseph was his name when I took him in 1993.

After I was arrested, we lost touch.

A few months ago, he reached out, said he was thinking about me, thinking about

getting the family back together.

He and Helen had a plan.

I was touched.

You know, he's been laying flowers at your mother's grave all these years.

My mother's name is Paula.

Would you be so kind as to take a picture of Kit and send it to Paula?

Let this be the way she remembers her.

Let's send two.

Huh? Before and after?

Neil. What?

I've waited a long time for this.

You just let him talk to you like that?

What happens to better to rule in hell than serve in heaven?

Better to rule in hell than serve in heaven, right?

That's when I knew.

Like the classic.

I could quote all kinds of books.

That's when I knew.

I didn't know when or where or how, but I knew that he'd taken you.

I know you were with Mel.

And that's what I told Frank.

You don't understand.

You can't do this.

Feel prudent.

And then we came up with a plan that I'd let you take me.

And you'd take me right to Cassie.

Injecting people with digital trackers.

It's pretty sick.

Did you bring it?

But guess what?

I didn't walk into your trap, Neil.

You walked into mine.

Stupid boy!

Bill?

worthy to receive.

Frank! Frank!

Oh, my God.

Frank.

We need an ambulance at Homestead.

Where are you guys? Where are you guys?

Kick, where's Pruitt?

He's in there.

No, he's not.

What'd you say?

You got two more bodies down.

Frank.

Hey. Don't let me.

Hey.

Don't let me. Frank.

Over here.

Okay. He was fine.
