Original subtitles

Breathing free air today, Raina?

Literally for your stretch.

Lawyer did me a solid.

Nick a time, too.

It's cream beef down at Chow today.

You'd be a stranger.

Don't come visit us again.

Escort! One con walking.

Con walking!

Been counting the hours till you get to see me?

Baby, I'm counting the minutes.

After today, it's going to be you.

Me and the world at our fingertips.

No, Officer Mason, no trouble.

You won't have to worry about me. I am officially a law-abiding citizen.

As a matter of fact, sir, I do have something lined up.

Mm-hmm.

Find it.

What I wanted the world.

I see skies of blue and clouds of white.

Bright, sunny days, dark, sacred nights.

And I think to myself, what I wanted the world.

I see friends shaking hands, say, how do you do?

They really say, I love you.

Vegas, what are you doing? Playing with fire just to stay warm?

Uh, Wayne, these are my Vegas rules, okay? No slots, no strippers, and no

shellfish. I gotta go. I'll call you later. Bye.

Chief Inspector Houston.

What's going on? You got lost on the way to the golf course?

My fire bar is in the shop, so I thought I'd do some police work instead.

Lucky us.

Listen, Grant, we're going to start over, all right? Okay. I know you don't

like me.

No, no, I like you just fine. I just don't like the recommendation to give me

off MPU. Yeah, well, last year was last year.

Okay. What does that mean?

Well, let's just say that I've learned to take the good with the bad,

conditionally.

Is that half a compliment?

Let's not get ahead of ourselves, detective.

And maybe you don't destroy any public property this week and you'll get the

other half.

Okay.

Where's Batista? I need to see her.

Hey, Inspector Chief.

It's good to see you.

What up? Where's Nikki?

Looks like she's running a little bit late. Why? What's up? Hey, we need to

find her. It's urgent.

Urgent like I need to be worried in husband mode or cop mode?

Have you talked to her in the last hour or so?

I mean, I did. She texted me to meet her downstairs, but she never showed up. I

figured something came up. And what time was that text?

I don't know.

43 minutes ago?

Well, you're freaking us out a little bit. What's going on? Does the name

Raina Stefanos mean anything to you?

No.

Stefanos was serving 15 to 20 a Muncie for felony assault.

Was? Yeah, she got released this morning, early parole.

Now, we should have been notified, but somebody dropped the ball, and Captain

Batista needs to know. Okay, but why?

Ten years ago, Nikki was Randall's arresting officer.

She also testified at the trial.

We have reason to believe that Stephanos is holding a grudge. Okay, how dangerous

is this woman?

Dangerous enough that I came straight here.

Nikki's phone's going straight to voicemail.

Stephanos was released this morning. What time? I was told 6.15 a.m. Okay,

that's plenty of time for her to get down to the city.

No, I'm not saying to worry yet.

I'm just saying that I would feel better if we could locate Nikki.

Okay, if she's in our car, I can track her using the motor pole GPS system.

Thanks, Kim. I'm gonna call Sid and see if she heard from Mom, all right? All

right, Chief.

All right, Raina Stefanos. I want to know everything.

Criminal history, known associates.

Raina was a freelance enforcer. You named the scum she worked for them.

Then she was good at her job. Yeah, because nobody sees a female leg-breaker

coming until they need an orthopedic surgeon.

All right, looks like she worked with her brother Cyril. Yeah, he was the

hustle, she was the muscle.

Says that Nikki was running down a lead for homicide.

There was a chase, an altercation, shots were fired.

She never mentioned this.

She probably wanted to forget.

She fatally hit Cyril as he was trying to take a hostage.

I mean, it must have been a clean kill or she would have bought a suspension.

It wasn't just clean.

That bust put her career in overdrive. And Raina lost her brother and ratted

behind bars.

And now she's out.

Okay, I need to speak to Raina's parole officer.

I already did.

Raina was staying in a motel in Allentown. I dispatched units, but she's

in the wind.

Hey, I ran Nikki's TPS, and it was weird.

Her car was completely stopped.

Okay, she's parked somewhere.

Totally stopped on the side of Route 352 outside of the city.

I got a steady who was nearby to do a drive-by, and he sent this back.

He said that the car was empty and there are no bodies, okay? Nikki is still out

there, Mike.

Hey, brother, if you need to take a breather and take a walk... No, no, no.

Hey, this is my wife.

Where's Helen? Can you get her out there? I need everything bagged and

tagged. Of course.

I want an alert issue for Captain Bacchista.

And put out a bolo for Raina Stefanos. All hands on deck.

Of course.

Morning,

man. Is there a problem? Was I driving too fast? I didn't even see. You know

you have a tail light out?

It is. Oh, uh, yeah, I got this car used, and it has been a total pain.

Maybe it's a bulb or a fuse?

No, I mean, like, it's out.

It's hanging off the back of the vehicle.

Did you hit something today?

You know, I bet someone hit me.

That grocery store parking lot is a total madhouse. And I get so distracted

when I'm getting the kids off to school that I didn't even notice.

It's okay.

Not a big deal.

It's not permitted to be on the road like that, okay?

I'm telling you, go get it repaired.

Next trooper might not be so kind, okay?

That's very sweet of you. Thank you. I will get it fixed ASAP.

Have a good day.

Careful in those parking lots.

You're lucky I can't afford a body count today.

That's to keep you down.

You crafty bitch.

You keep trying to attract attention, but the next one, I kill.

Jason's on hold with a burn unit at Logan Square Memorial.

Look, after seeing Nikki's car like that, Mike... Hey, look.

Let's deal with facts.

Nikki's missing.

Her car's been destroyed. We presume she's been taken.

Now we need to figure out when and from where.

I left the gym 7.30. I offered to swing back, pick her up, but she said she had

errands. She didn't say what. I should have asked.

Plans should have, could have. It's not gonna help us, Mike. All right, let's

deal with the errands.

Maybe the post office, the pharmacy.

She could have stopped to get coffee.

Coffee?

Nikki's text.

Okay, so she, uh, she messaged me at 8.52.

She wanted to meet 20 minutes from then. Let's say it takes five minutes to park,

get into the building, so that means that she was 15 or so away from here.

What kind of radius were looking at in that time frame?

Um, with, uh...

Traffic in the morning, I would say three to four blocks a minute.

Fifteen minutes. That puts us 60 blocks out.

Okay. I will take a perimeter as far north as Temple University and as far

south as Point Breeze. That's a massive search area.

We got a hit on the Stefanos bolo. She shot a state trooper west of the city

about 30 minutes ago.

The incident report says Raina was stopped for a broken tail light.

Nikki was trying to get someone's attention.

That's a good sign. It means Stephanos didn't just kill her. All right, the

trooper has four broken ribs, but he's still breathing, and he confirmed that

it was Stephanos. She was aiming for his vest.

Raina's smart.

Too damn smart.

Have her get in the security area.

Okay.

No detective should have to investigate the disappearance of his own wife.

Stephanos was a major crimes case. I will call them, have them step in.

Chief, Chief, Chief, I would appreciate it if you did not finish that sentence.

Mike, it's too close to home. It is home.

And Nikki is my home. She's one of ours. MPU will get her back.

All right.

All right, you go up there and you find us something to go on.

Yes, sir.

What do you think, Detective?

I think Stephanus is armed now and dangerous.

And I think Nikki's running out of time.

How the hell does a monster like that get early parole? I don't know, and I

don't care, okay? We're getting Nikki back.

Just, that's it. Everything else is white noise. Yeah, well, you know what

she wants, right?

Revenge for her dead brother.

A life for a life, right? No, that's what she wanted. We would have found a

body already, and we have not, okay? Just have faith, please.

You know what I have?

Years of crime scene images floating through my head and all the bad things

that can be done to a human body.

Stefanos knows all of them. Don't think like that, please.

You gotta chill. You ever read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance?

No. You? Yeah, yeah, I can read.

A lot of flight time between here and Afghanistan.

Anyway, there's a quote that I really like. It's having the right attitude

that's hard.

Okay? You gotta do that. You gotta tell yourself nobody is better at this than

we are. We are going to find her.

It's from Kemi.

Troopers found this at the site of the Stefano shooting.

It's a receipt from Nikki's dry cleaner.

She was at the dry cleaning spot at 8.49 a.m. All right, Nikki's leaving us a

breadcrumb telling us where she was. She knows how people get grabbed and she

knows how people get found. Let's go do some dry cleaning. Come on.

This sucks.

Why wouldn't anybody have any cameras?

Hey, buddy.

Philly PD.

You been here all morning?

All morning.

Yeah, and this dash cam's been recording the whole time?

Oh, yeah, 100%. Great.

We're going to need the footage.

All right, we already know this. The dry cleaners told us the same thing the

receipt did. Nikki paid and left at 8.49.

Right before she texted me. Fast forward.

It looks like Raina was waiting for her in the backseat.

She's not dead, Mike.

We don't know that.

Some things you know and some things you feel. What would you do right now if you

were me? I would have faith.

You're the second person to tell me that today.

Sometimes in a situation that is uncontrollable, our faith is the only

thing that we can still feel in charge of. I got none, Kim. None.

All right, well, then how about I have enough for all three people?

You, me, and Nikki.

I spoke to Raina's warden at Muncie.

She had a cellmate, a car thief named Gina Fernand.

They were in a relationship.

Yeah, that name came up in the prison visitor's log for Reina.

Fernand was released a few months ago, but she's visited a dozen times since.

These are parole reports from her PO.

There's an address on there in Kensington.

I'm on it.

That's me the address.

How far out the SWAT say they were?

Too far and we're not waiting.

Okay, here we go. Clean it fast.

Listen to me. You see something, shoot at it. Don't miss.

Let's get Mickey back, all right?

Got it, coach.

Hey, Ray.

Did you hear that? Gina, get on the ground!

Thanks.

Yeah. If I need a tetanus shot, lady, you and I are gonna have words.

Nick! Give me that knife.

No, don't move.

Don't move.

She's not here, Jay.

Sorry about all the metal.

I'm getting a feral vibe from you.

How's your face, cop?

It's okay.

I don't think I'll miss any beauty pageants. They'll heal. Thanks for

asking them.

All right, let's make this quick because I'm sick to my stomach even being in the

same room with you.

Besides your knife-wielding ass, you know what else we found?

$500,000 in cash, two plane tickets for you and your girlfriend to Morocco.

It's a non-extradition country.

Yeah, and no sign of Captain Batista, so let's just start with the easy one.

Where is she, Reina?

What the hell did you do with Nick?

I know, I know. I'm telling you a damn thing.

Get me a lawyer.

This is not a great time, Helen. It'll only take a minute.

There wasn't a whole lot left after the fire, but I went through the captain's

vehicle top to bottom.

There's a couple of items from the trunk over here.

Everything looks like something that should be here, right?

Then I found this.

What's weird is the rest of Nikki's keyring was missing.

Pert must have tossed it at some point.

This little guy was all by his lonesome. I found it in the driver's side

footwell. What are you thinking? Nikki left it on purpose?

In my experience, when something isn't where it should be, there's a good

reason.

Anybody know what it goes to?

No, I've never seen that before.

Okay, okay, don't even worry. It's a puzzle.

I'm good at those.

I'll let you know when I figure it out. All right, thanks. Come on.

Okay.

This woman's a pro.

She's not gonna fold.

You know, I once sat in on an interrogation of a suspected terrorist.

For so many days, I grew a beard.

They got him to talk.

No water jugs, no fingernails pulled back. They just hammered this guy,

whittled him down until he broke.

Yeah, well, we don't have that kind of time.

Everybody cracks.

Everybody cracks. We just gotta find our pressure point.

I can't go back in there, Jay.

Look, I'm trying to keep the faith, but we're running out of time.

Then I see the wedding dress, and if getting answers about Nikki means I

gotta put my hand around her throat...

I'm not sure I'm going to stop squeezing, okay?

If I go back in there, I'm going to kill her. Okay, I got it. So you don't go

back in there. I'll take care of it, all right? You just sit this one out.

Good idea.

The girl we busted with her, is she in lockup already, or is she in the

building still?

I don't know. Why?

You know what this is?

This right here is the Pennsylvania State.

Penal code.

I asked for a lawyer. I'm done talking to you. Okay, you don't have to talk.

I'll do all the talking. What I want to talk about is parole violations.

I can take whatever you in that little book can dish out.

You know what ten years of Muncie looks like?

Hell. And I've done it. So try me, cop. Okay. Well, actually, I wasn't, um... I

wasn't talking about parole violations for you.

Thanks, Kimmy.

Okay.

So, in this state, a parole violation carries a minimum of six months of

reincarceration. That's per offense, okay? Right now, we got your girl Gina

on contact with a convicted felon, playing tickets. That's attempting to

leave the country. But we also have her aiding and abetting your crime,

kidnapping.

Yeah, that's an F1 felony.

Now, felonies, they are like a whole big bag of headaches for the parole board.

And when it comes to sentencing, what the parole board likes to do is take

their cue from the arresting officer. In this case, the arresting officer is my

partner.

And the woman that you took, that's his wife.

Now, we both agree he should not come back in this room, because if he does,

he might kill you.

What do you think he's going to do when you're a girl?

I mean, what do you think he's gonna do with my money? He says that he's gonna

send her back to the deepest, darkest, miserable hole he can find.

Yeah. I mean, her next parole papers are gonna come with an AARP card.

You can't do that.

Yeah, no, I can do that. I'm gonna do that. Try me.

Try me. Is that what you said? Try me?

Look, it was just a job. I swear.

What job?

A lawyer came to see me.

My suit, silk tie.

He said he'd get me paroled early and promise me half a million bucks and

clean passports for me and Gina to get out of the country. So I say, what's the

job? And then he shows me a photo of that bitch that killed my brother.

And that was a job I would do for free, and here he is, sitting there promising

me the world.

Who did that lawyer work for?

I don't know.

Raina, don't, don't, don't test me, okay? I am rabid.

I don't know.

I swear. I took the cup, like I was told, and I dropped her off outside the

city. Where did you drop her off?

This old roofing factory building on your Gradyville.

Met up with a few guys.

No names.

I didn't know their faces.

One of them paid me, and I split.

That's it.

Okay, the guy who paid you, what did he look like? I don't know. A guy.

I haven't been around very many of them for the last ten years, so I don't pay a

lot of attention, you know?

Eye color.

What did his hair look like? What kind of a car he was driving? Any of that can

help. Your life depends on this right now, okay?

Um, a tattoo on his wrist. A Celtic knot.

What? You know that tattoo?

Yeah, I do. I know that guy.

So who's got your girl?

Charlie McGannon.

Charlie McGannon paid to have my wife taken.

All we have to go on is the word of a convicted felon who kidnapped Nikki and

is now trying to lay the blame on an Irish mob boss. It's a long walk.

I may have confirmation.

Stephanos told Jason that a fancy lawyer advanced her parole date and got her

release, acted as a liaison between Stephanos and the person who was paying

her, right?

Yeah. So from the Muncie records, I was able to find the name of that lawyer,

Arthur Hodester.

He is a senior partner at this law firm downtown, and so I searched court

records to see who else they represent.

You ready for this?

Four years ago, the same firm represented a businessman on tax evasion

charges, okay? So the guy got off with a slap on the wrist, paid some fines, went

free. Guess who?

Charles McGannon.

Yeah, the same law firm.

Looks like that walk got a lot shorter.

I see the connection, but it could still be a coincidence. No, no, it's not.

Okay, Charlie McGannon got her out of prison early. He paid her to grab Nikki,

and now there is no trail between her disappearance and his doorstep. This is

how this guy operates. Charlie McGannon is a dangerous man. He's not reckless.

Why would he grab a police captain?

What don't I know?

McGannon and Nikki have history.

Would he hurt her?

Possibly. Definitely.

Okay, are you sure about this?

Nikki's life is betting on it. If we waste time on the wrong lead... It's our

only lead.

And yes, we're sure.

Okay.

I guess I have a phone call to make.

For what?

To find out where Charles McGannon has lunch.

How's the market, McGannon?

Got a large cap equity fund here. It just won't behave.

Did I ask you to sit?

Well, it seems lonely sitting here and eating by yourself.

Who said I was by myself?

Well, the Michelin men are where they don't count.

Look, Inspector.

Chief Inspector, right?

I'm a private citizen sitting here having a meal.

So unless you got some legally justified reason for interrupting my beautiful

steak. Where is she?

Sorry?

You want to fill in the gaps for me?

Grant and Sherman told me about your relationship to Nikki Batista.

I also know they told you to end it.

And I know breakups can be messy.

You know what the most successful symbiotic relationship in the natural

world is?

It's a relationship between ocean coral and saltwater algae.

You got a partnership so prosperous that you built the Great Barrier Reef.

Kind of the way Nikki rose up in the police ranks and you got a chair at the

head of the Irish table.

Let's not speak in arraignable terms.

The walls have the years, you know.

It's an agenda.

To a meeting Nikki set with a special agent in charge at the FBI field office.

Meeting that was set for next week. Let me guess.

Nikki wasn't the only cop on your payroll.

I don't kiss and tell.

Someone tipped you off about that meeting because the meeting was about

you.

Zach told me that if Nikki delivered what she promised to deliver, they were

going to issue an arrest warrant for you immediately.

I get it. You couldn't let Nikki make that meeting now, could you?

You have no idea what you're talking about.

Nikki saved your daughter for God's sake.

Just let me know where she is, so I can get my cup back.

If you're gonna stay much longer, I should probably buy you a drink.

I'm not doing it.

All the more reason.

You enjoy that mail, McGannon?

Mm-hmm.

Extension 1414.

Hey, Ritter.

It's Bill.

McGannon has her, but he won't blink.

So what I'm about to tell you does not leave this room.

I called a friend of mine who works for, let's just say, an alphabet agency.

And his agency has an unwarranted tracking device on McGannon's vehicle.

Do you trust this guy? We wore the same Greek letters at Notre Dame, so yes, I

trust him.

And the tracker has been active? All day.

Coordinates. And the length of time he's been at each of them.

If anyone asks, you've never seen that piece of paper.

Right, his car sat at this location for an hour before he went to lunch. Where

is it?

It's, um, near a trailhead at Ridley Creek State Park.

And if you leave now, you can get there in 38 minutes.

Mike, go get your wife back.

Nick!

Nicky!

Go that way.

Nick!

Can you hear me?

Nicky!

Nick!

Nicky?

Nick!

What? What's wrong? What do you got?

What do you mean?

Not that. What are you talking about?

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Is it her? Uh-uh. Is it her? Look at me.

Jay. Jay, hey, hey, hey. It's all right. It's all right. Look at me.

It's all right. Is it her?

It's all right. It's all right. Hey, let me see her. No, no, no. Let me see her.

Jay. Jay.

Jay. Hold on.

Hold on. Hold on. Stay here.

Stay here. Stay.

Hold on. Is she okay?

Uh-uh.

Jay. Uh-uh.

Single gunshot wound to the cranial base.

For what it's worth, it was quick.

Thank you.

Stay out of here. Come on.

I need to be alone.

It's a bad idea, Mike.

Mike.

Your brother is in for the longest, darkest night of his life.

In case nobody asks, you okay?

Point me in the direction of okay, huh?

On my 30th birthday, Nikki and I took horseback riding lessons at the

stables in the Fairmont Parks.

And they, they like...

They pick your horse for you based on, you know, your experience, which neither

of us had.

Somehow, Nikki ends up with, you know, a Missouri trotter who wanted nothing to

do with her, of course. And halfway through a ride, this horse, like, it

just takes off with Nikki on its back.

And it's like bucking and galloping and like she's screaming at the top of her

lungs. And I am just like watching her fly over this hill.

And at the time, I was so scared.

But in the end, she was fine.

She was safe.

And we went back to the stables.

I like to keep that image of her.

Nikki on a wild horse, hair in the wind, taking

off over a hill into the afternoon sun.

I know I haven't worked here long, but I thought I'd have so much more time with

her.

You would have had a friend for life.

That was Nikki.

What's this?

I found it in the captain's car.

I never did figure out what it's for.

Can I use your computer?

Yeah, of course.

What are we looking at?

We're looking at footage of Nikki being taken this morning.

So we watched the part where she was grabbed because that was the relevant

information, but we never looked to see if she stopped anywhere else.

The mailbox place.

Oh, my God, that's the key.

Yeah, Jason?

Yeah, um... I think I found something.

If you're reading this, I'm already dead.

You've found the contents of my secret mailbox.

Hey,

listen

to this.

If you're reading this, I'm already dead. You've found the contents of my

secret mailbox.

I've been adding to this mailbox for years.

Call it my insurance policy. I'm going to give Kemi the key for safekeeping.

Let me tell you what you have in your hands. It goes on and on and on.

The clerk said that she's had it for the last eight years.

So she only used it as a drop box.

I guess so. Where's Mike? Give me Mike.

Jason, we don't know. What do you mean you don't know? He didn't come back to

the office? You've got to find him, Kemi. Find his car right now, please.

Okay.

Alright, I got him, Jake. He's on the move. It looks like he's in Bryn Mawr.

About three blocks from Charlie McGannon's house.

He's going for Charlie. Grant, listen to me.

I can cover for the two of you, but only to a point. And not if he kills Charlie

McGannon. You hear me?

Alright, I'm on my way. I'm bringing him home, okay?

What's that?

What's that?

You can't do this.

Nobody's stopping me.

You can't do this, officer. I ain't thinking about it.

Take this thing.

Take it.

Get down on your knees.

Did you say goodbye to her, Charlie?

Did you say goodbye to my wife before she died?

See, Nikki knew what you did to your accountant.

And the men who took your daughter.

And she told you a long time ago, no bodies.

Murder was always her line, and you crossed it.

See, some people, they're just born broken.

And you're one of them.

Yeah.

No, I'm just a dead body buried under the city.

Just like her.

Nikki knew it was a risk taking that meeting with the FBI.

After all these years, she knew she had to do the right thing, even if it cost

her. It cost her.

It cost me.

Round and round we go in the circle game.

I was just taking care of business, looking after my interests.

If you see Nikki on the other side, tell her Mike sent you.

All right, well, I'll do more than that.

I'm alone.

I'm unarmed.

I wasn't worried. Mike, what are you doing?

The bullet ain't going to fix this.

It's a start.

No, it's not, okay? He doesn't deserve that.

He's a cop killer. He's going to spend the rest of his life in prison.

Let the law deal with him, okay?

No, no, no. Jay, I'm done with the law.

He's just going to get away with it like he always does.

Mike, listen. Jay. Okay, listen to me.

He's not getting away with it.

Not this time.

He's done.

Nicky had a drop box.

Okay? That's what the key was for.

She kept everything on this guy.

Notes, recordings, photographs, everything. Every body he ever buried.

Every dollar he ever stole.

She's got it. All of it. He's done, Mike. I promise you. Okay?

Let Nikki have this win, okay? Put the gun down, please.

Put the gun down, okay?

Come on, Mike.

Come on, please.

Good I'm gonna tell you daughter what you did personally

I don't know about you, Chuck, but I think I gotta check my shorts, you know

what I mean?

Get up. Get up. Get up.

Get up. Walk.

How's it going?

Standing up.

Nobody else died today. That's the best I can do for you, Chief Inspector.

I'll get Nikki's evidence in the right hands.

All right, you two take off.

You were never here.

Yes, sir.

You know, I never paged you the other half that a compliment.

Maybe someday I will.

To my MPU team, you are my family.

Go out there every day, every single day, and save people.

Save as many as you can.

To both my husbands, Mike and Jason, take care of each other.

Sydney needs you, and you need each other.

I'll be watching over you somewhere close by.

Con todo mi amor. Goodbye.

If no one wants to speak, I can speak for all of us.

With my faith, growing up, We were told that

death isn't the end of a life, that it marks the

passage from one realm of existence to the next.

And so our loved ones exist as

a part of a sacred place, a place that

we can't see, that we can't touch.

Go on.

The spirits have more business to finish.

More journeys to undertake.

The Yoruba my people think of the world as two halves of a gourd.

The one we live in.

And the other side where our ancestors continue.

It's a place of great spirits and deities.

It's a place of gods.

This death will not be the end of our team.

It will not be the end of the work we have to do.

We will rise tomorrow, hold each other up and keep breathing.

And we will go on.
