Original subtitles

Ma'am, are you okay?

Oh my God, you must be freezing.

Here. Oh, no, thank you, Angel. Ma'am, my skin is on fire. I can't cool down.

Yeah.

I'm not prying.

But could I help you get to a clinic or a meeting?

I've been there.

Oh, so you were here.

And now you're there. You're all dolled up with that pretty necklace. That must

be nice, Angel.

There is a shelter on Division.

They're good people.

So just think about getting out of the cold, okay?

Well, Angel's scared of me.

Sorry. I'm sorry. No, you're fine.

Well, the park at night, that's no place for a wing alone.

Thank you. I'm actually not alone. I'm waiting for my boyfriend. No, your

boyfriend's not there, Aaron Bell. He's right here.

What's wrong with the teacher? I thought you really liked her.

Nothing. She's great. I'm just easing back into dating. That's not true. What

happened? She corrected my grammar.

What? Twice.

Oh, my God.

It might have been thrice. I can't wait to tell you in school about this.

Maggie. Yeah, Sean, what's up? You got a second?

For NYPD, yeah.

It's about your sister, Erin.

Okay.

You're an agent, so it got flagged with me. A missing persons call came in at 7

.15 this morning from Erin's roommate.

How does she know she's missing and not out partying, phone died kind of thing?

Roommate just said Erin never came home last night.

Precinct in the neighborhood was going to send out a detective, get a full

report, but I thought, you know... I saw Erin's file.

Yeah, I know. She's no stranger to trouble.

I didn't want to blindside you, that's why I came up to do this face-to-face.

Thanks, Sean. I appreciate it.

Can you text me Erin's current address?

Yeah, sure, thanks.

Let Isabel know out on a personal matter.

I will call her from the car.

Coming with you.

Straight to voicemail. Again.

Aime ran her number. Her phone's off. We can't track it.

Parents still haven't heard from her.

You think she fell off the wagon?

No, Mom said she's clean.

Yeah, but she's still dodging your calls. Well, can you blame her? I

accused her of relapsing, and I was wrong.

It's been two years, Maggie.

She has a long history of letting you down when all you ever wanted was to

make sure she was okay.

Listen, I said some pretty awful things.

This one's on me.

It just sucks because I've tried to apologize so many times. She wants

nothing to do with me.

I already gave the cops my statement.

I know.

I need to hear it for myself.

Where'd you meet?

Erin and I met through N.A.

I heard it all.

Okay, so you know her history.

Was Erin using again? Why is that your first question? Because that affects

where I look for her.

And I need to find her.

Is she clean?

Yeah.

Erin's been good.

She just got a three-year chip and a promotion at work.

She started as an assistant and now she's managing a new marketing campaign.

Girl is killing it.

Good.

When's the last time you saw Erin?

Last night, 7.30.

She had just been talking non-stop to this guy she met on Instagram a couple

months ago.

She was heading out to meet him for the first time.

She was really excited.

Couple of months, isn't that a little long for the talking stage?

You gotta earn her trust.

But once she warms up... She'll jump in with both feet.

What was this guy's name?

It's Marty, no last name.

She was supposed to text me after he got there, but she never did.

Do you have any idea where they were supposed to meet?

Don't know.

But she would have checked in if she wasn't coming home.

We always do.

I'm really worried.

Something's wrong.

I agree.

Tell me everything you know about this guy.

All right, folks, listen up. We got to work a 115 for one of our own. Maggie's

sister, Erin Bell, is currently unaccounted for, so we're going to take

that missing persons case from NYPD. Now, according to her roommate, Erin was

last seen on her way to an in-person meet with an online paramour named

Marty, and nobody has heard from her since, so I want to know every detail

about this.

Yeah, we don't have Erin's phone, but we are into her Instagram account.

I am pulling up her DMs with Marty now.

Yeah, okay.

Elise, you want to run facial rec? Yep. Okay, these last messages confirm that

date with Marty.

They agreed to meet at Domino Park at 8 p.m. Okay, we got a time and place. You

want to check for poll cams? Copy. All right, how are we doing with that ID?

Yeah, full name is Martin Camerino.

Got out of prison three months ago. His rap sheet makes War and Peace look like

a haiku.

Grand theft auto, armed robbery, aggravated assault against his ex-wife,

and he was accused of stalking a woman in 2014.

Wasn't enough evidence to make it stick.

You call me judgmental, but this guy doesn't seem like a real catch.

He didn't lead with that. A week after he got released, Marty made a comment on

one of Aaron's posts.

about sobriety. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He is a fellow addict.

Looks like he's using that as an angle.

But nothing in his history to suggest Camerino has addiction issues.

Well, he heavily implied he did. They exchanged a few more.

Then Marty slides into Aaron's DMs.

They click fast.

So Marty studied Erin online, says what he has to to establish a bond and get

her to lower her defenses.

These are the DMs? Yeah, he definitely got her to open up. Pressed her about

recovery or dating life or family. Erin said some pretty rough stuff about

Maggie. I don't know if I should be reading this. No, it's fine. We're not

prying or judging.

We're just looking for Erin. Were we able to get confirmation that she and

Marty actually met up in the parklet plant? Well, we got pole cam footage.

Here's Aaron entering Domino Park at 7.58 p.m.

Good. Any hits on Marty? Uh, no, no. Domino only has cameras on the south

side of the park. He didn't enter there, and Aaron didn't leave the way she came

in. Right, so no way to know if she left off her own volition.

All right, I think it's time we had a little chat with Martin Camerino.

Where were you last night, Marty?

Did you accuse me of something? I'm asking you where you were.

I guess I'm asking, what does that matter?

Aaron Bell.

Where is she?

Who? Not the day to play dumb with me.

What did you want with her?

Is it about drugs?

I'm telling you, I don't know who or what you're talking about. All right,

you need to stop lying to us.

We have all of your messages with her.

You guys have been talking for months.

And last someone saw her, she was headed to Brooklyn to meet you.

So where is she? What messages?

No, you got the wrong guy.

So that's not you?

No way.

Is this that?

No, they stole my face. This is some AI crap. No, that is not AI. Our techs can

tell the difference.

You want to clear your name?

Why don't you tell us where that photo was taken?

Okay. Yeah.

Those ugly-ass drapes.

This is the halfway house in Bed-Stuy I was at right out of prison.

Place was full of psychos. One of them must have taken this picture. I'm not

buying that.

Your name, your photo, and your halfway house?

Just a minute.

You lured Aaron Bell to Domino Park last night. No, there's no one near Brooklyn.

Then where were you? Doesn't matter. It matters.

Aaron Bell is my sister, and she is missing.

Believe me when I say I will rip your life apart.

I was in Chelsea.

Doing what?

Boosting a car.

Okay?

Red Audi.

It's down at the shop I'm working at. So hit me with that, but I promise, I got

nothing to do with your sister.

Newest Audi models, built-in cameras, have continuous recording. We pulled the

footage from the car in Marty's shop. It confirms he was acquiring the Audi from

Chelsea when Aaron disappeared.

What about his phone?

It doesn't match the burner connected to the Instagram account Aaron was

communicating with.

Okay, so someone catfished Aaron. Who had access to Marty's photo from the

halfway house? I'm working on a script here that I hope will help narrow it

down. So, Instagram crops profile pics to fit their specs, or the app stores

the full root image that you upload in a compressed format.

So you're hoping the original file will paint a fuller picture.

That's the idea. And thanks to a subpoena, we now have that root file

decompressing it.

You see that?

Yeah, the reflection.

Could be the photographer. Can we get an ID off that? Just gotta remove the grain

first.

Up the contrast.

That's Ray DiStefano.

He got out of prison a few months ago.

You think he has your sister?

I need his last known address right now.

Ray DiStefano is a serial slasher. He stalks and disfigures women, and Maggie

Bell has put him away twice in the last 13 years. Somewhere along the line, he

developed an obsession with her, and now he is the prime suspect in the

disappearance of Erin Bell. Now, Maggie and OA are already en route to

DiStefano's place, but I want to know his every movement since his release.

Where is his parole officer?

His PO is Mike Waldron. I've been calling, but no answer yet.

All right, we'll keep trying. How the hell could someone as high-risk as

DeStefano even get released from prison? Well, it looks like he snitched on a

cellmate. Was the judge not aware that the last time he cooperated in a case,

he made a direct threat to Maggie Bell? He was recommended DeStefano be confined

to a zero-tolerance halfway house for eight months where he crossed with Marty

Camerino. But he was released early from that halfway house. Yeah, a month ago.

How? Well, the Bureau of Prisons outsources its halfway house management

to private companies.

They can get BOP approval to kick inmates out early just by citing an

overcrowding issue. You'd think nothing would surprise me at this point.

Anything from the parole officer? No, and I've called four times.

Meg. What?

That's Mike Waldron.

That's DiStefano's parole officer.

He was keeping me updated since DiStefano's release.

Oh wait, this doesn't make sense.

DiStefano doesn't kill.

Then why cross that line now?

Something's obviously changed.

Do whatever it takes to get to me now.

What is it?

Maggie!

Maggie!

Please help me!

Please!

Maggie!

Maggie!

DeStefano will not get away with this. We're gonna find Aaron.

Do we have any idea where this location could be?

There's no distinguishing features.

He picked it because it's generic. He's being careful. Very. The MP4 file itself

is scrubbed of all metadata, and he spoofed the cell phone in the text of

the video.

I'm in the process of a workaround.

I can't get over the timing of that text.

It was perfect.

We'd only been inside his place a minute.

What do you think he was watching?

We checked the perimeter. We swept inside and outside for cameras. He had

to have been close.

He waited until we were inside, and then he waited until we found out that Aaron

wasn't there. You're right.

I pulled the tower down from the nearest cell site to Stefano's apartment,

matched the cell pings to the time of the text.

See that dot there? The cell phone that texted this video was just down the

street. He was watching. Well, can we use this to find the phone's location

now? Yeah.

Okay, looks like he's heading southbound. My guess, he's on the C

train to Brooklyn. Okay, we're gonna follow him to Aaron. Wait, Maggie, hang

back.

OA, you grab Jubal. He's gonna ride along with you on this one.

You see that necklace she's wearing?

That was in a display window of a jewelry store in Muncie.

Aaron would make us stop by every time we passed.

And she would beg my dad.

He had... Whatever.

I used all of my money from bagging groceries that pay less.

I bought it for her 13th birthday.

You're a good sister, Maggie.

If I was more in her life, there's no way DiStefano would have been able to

get his claws into her.

You can still fix this when we find her.

Erin has the necklace on. I know that she wants that, too. Okay. I understand

why you benched me. I can't just sit here and wait. But, Maggie, who said

that you were benched?

DiStefano is trying to get into your head.

I need you to get into his.

Ray DeStefano is a sadist who likes to mark women.

Killing has always repulsed him.

Right. What's the point of scarring your victims if they're not walking around a

constant reminder of the power you had over them? Right, but he's escalated to

murder. That doesn't fit his profile.

Show me.

This is Mike Waldron, his parole officer.

We found him dead in DeStefano's apartment.

Time of death was around 6 p.m. yesterday.

Mike didn't have a check-in scheduled.

This was a random drop-in.

So the working theory is that he came into DeStefano's apartment and he

surprised him.

But he saw all of Aaron's surveillance photos.

And reacted in desperation to protect his mission.

Male victim, disorganization of the scene, mass not staged, the wounds are

haphazard. Murdering Waldron wasn't part of his plan.

Is he going to kill my sister?

All right, Maggie?

Let's focus on what we do know.

This is between you and him. The question is why.

I'm the one to put him away?

He's been obsessed with me for 13 years.

Disproportionate response.

Last year when he was in prison, he helped me with an investigation.

He negotiated a furlough to see his father, who was dying.

But his father died before he could see him.

And I know he blames me for that.

This place, Zara, could be a factor. I don't care about his feelings, Peter.

I need you to figure out where is he holding Aaron?

Prolonged captivity has never been part of his M.O.

Likely someplace he has full control, where he feels safe. It won't be random.

May have...

Sentimental value? He doesn't have any attachments.

He has no friends, no siblings.

Mm-hmm.

Now, father's past. The mother?

Nothing to do with them. She left them a long time ago.

There's got to be something.

Now, hold on a second.

The father had a brownstone.

It's in the obituary.

You go 128th Street.

But we could be there in 20 minutes.

You still have your 38 in your glove box?

Oh, you bet I do.

Isabel, I think we gotta leave.

Yeah, so do we. Jubal and O.A. are closing in on DeStefano.

Ian, do we have a hit on DeStefano's phone?

The ping is slowing down. Looks like he's off the train and above ground.

Just half a block ahead of you.

There's a lot of people out here, Ian. Can you be more specific?

Looks like he just turned north onto the east side of Nostra.

Jubal, yeah.

Blue hoodie, builds matching to Stefano's description.

It's not spookum.

I think we should wait for SWAT. We don't have time.

My sister could be in here.

Oh, we're forgoing the warrant, too.

Exigent circumstances.

You're not going in there alone.

Stay behind me.

He made us.

The suspect made our surveillance. He's heading south on Nostrand.

FBI, stop!

He's taking a right on St. Mark's. Out of the way!

Swat, move in.

Drop the bag.

Lose the hood, turn around slowly.

That's not it.

No one's been here a while.

I'll handle the basement.

Why were you running from us? I wasn't.

I'm just running late to the gym.

Where's Ray DiStefano?

Who? This guy.

That dude?

Yeah.

He shoulder-checked me on the street earlier.

Told him I'd beat his ass if he didn't step off, but I didn't do anything.

Is this your phone?

No.

DeStefano must have slipped it into the bag to throw us off the trail.

Maggie, help me, please.

Maggie!

Peter?

Don't fight it, Maggie.

Don't fight it.

There you go.

All right, it has been hours since DeStefano abducted Maggie from his

father's brownstone.

We have every agency in the tri-state area aiding us. Please tell me we have

something. Not yet, but let's walk through it again.

Yeah.

DeStefano left Maggie's cell at the scene. There's no use tracking it. And

he knocked Peter Olsen unconscious, so no witness to her abduction.

Yeah, no footage. The brownstone's in a blind spot for pole and traffic camps.

DiStefano moved Maggie from the area quickly, so he's likely in a vehicle. If

we knew what he was driving, we might be able to pull it from the surrounding

areas, but so far, nothing. Right, and nothing from the crime scene. One

possible lead. ERT found a unique substance from the brownstone.

Lab's doing a full chemical analysis to identify it, but it's a process and a

long shot.

All right, every major news outlet has picked up this story, so we have the

power of the public behind us.

What about the tip line? Has that yielded anything yet? Nothing credible,

but our field team is tracking down every lead that's been called in. What

is going on, guys?

I've combed through every place that Stefano has lived and worked. Where is

Maggie? Conference room.

Now.

Dig deep. Get creative. We're going to find her.

Where else could he be holding her?

Are we sure that his father doesn't have any other properties?

No, no. We triple-checked his estate through the probate court. There is

nothing there. That's not good enough, Jewel. My partner is missing. We have to

look everywhere. Think what Maggie would do if it was me.

What about DiStefano's mother?

Estranged mother, according to her. She has a consignment shop in Yonkers. A

local PD talked to her. No sign DiStefano showed up there, but we posted

a unit down the block in case he does.

I don't have time for that. No one knows this guy like Maggie.

We have to think like her.

You're right.

With me. Now.

Jubal? Yeah? Chemical analysis from the scene of Maggie's abduction landed. The

gritty substance ERT found was de-icing salt treated with beet brine.

Beet brine? Yeah, mixing rock salt with beet brine is a new method of treating

icy roads. It lowers the freezing point of the ice from water. So if the

substance did come from DiStefano, like from his shoes or whatever, then maybe

it originated in the place that he's holding Maggie and Aaron. Only two

counties in the greater New York metro area have pilot programs deploying beet

brine. Sullivan County and Dutchess County. It narrows it down, but it still

gives us like 2,000 square miles. No, it's something. Keep digging. Go, go,

go.

The trail has run cold.

Now, you helped Maggie catch DeStefano once.

What are we missing here, Peter?

I've been poring over DeStefano's file.

He's organized, highly intelligent.

I believe he counted on Maggie being relentless.

He planned to send your team on a wild goose chase to lure her in alone.

But I was there.

I was a surprise.

Well, same as his parole officer, but he didn't kill you.

Precisely. But why?

Took pleasure in his first kill.

Perhaps lost control in the act. Now, that's confronting to a man like

DiStefano, whose pathology is rooted in control. He didn't want to go there, so

he let me live to stick to his plan, his eyes on his price.

Maggie? Yes.

His obsession with Maggie is absolute.

But...

Exploiting Aaron, it's not about reciprocation.

It's about vengeance, regaining his power.

Maggie worked with DiStefano last year when he was in prison.

Yeah, the copycat case.

What exactly did she do?

Son of a bitch.

Maggie Bell.

No pleasantries?

That's frustrating, huh? I know.

I wore the cuffs last time.

You wanted me. You got me.

Let my sister go.

I knew you'd say that.

You've got a savior complex.

You know that?

Erin thinks so, too. She told me.

What? She didn't exactly tell me. That was between her and, uh, Marty.

Where is she? I wasn't finished.

I see you, Maggie Bell. I understand you.

I think being a hero makes you feel powerful.

Gives you a little vibration all up and down, right?

Yeah. Because it's all about you.

And deep down, you don't care about anyone.

That's not true.

You are a liar, Maggie. And you know how I know.

You told me that the gift I gave you had healed.

But I checked.

I'm still there.

What do you want?

Maybe I want to cut you.

Give you a scar that you can't hide, you can't pretend.

Well, maybe that wouldn't be enough, Maggie.

What would do it?

You know what you want.

You've been sitting in your cell, staring at the ceiling, thinking about

me. So just tell me what you want, and I'll do it.

Okay? I'll play your game. This is not a game, Maggie.

This is a reckoning.

You betrayed what we had. You betrayed me.

So this is about your father.

I asked you for one thing in return, one small thing.

I wanted to see my father before he died.

And you said, okay, Ray, okay.

And I helped you.

I helped you.

But you didn't hold up your end of the bargain, did you?

I didn't lie to you. You did, by omission. And I need you to own up to

that right now, Maggie. You need to apologize to me.

You do that, and I will let your sweet errand go.

I didn't tell you that your father died before we made our deal.

I kept it to myself until I got the information I needed to find that other

woman.

I used you.

And it was unkind.

And I'm sorry.

I don't believe you.

It is possible that in DeStefano's eyes, Maggie violated their bond when she

failed to make good on their deal.

He never got to say goodbye to his father. If that is the wound that's

driving DeStefano's escalation, then the father could be at the heart of it. We

need to get inside that relationship.

And since speaking with Lou DiStefano isn't an option.

Right, Kelly, you want to pull DiStefano's mom's address in Yonkers?

You and OA want to go down and talk to her together?

You bet.

Great.

I did what you wanted.

I meant every word of what I just said.

I'm having a little trouble trusting you, Maggie.

I can't tell if you really feel it.

Maybe you don't really want to save your sister.

Maybe Aaron's right.

She's just a burden to you.

I never said that. No, that's how you made her feel.

Like an embarrassment.

You came right out and said it.

Embarrassment. She remembers.

She knows how you see her. Weak and pathetic.

You tell yourself you love her, but you just make her doubt herself.

Do you know what she told Marty?

She said she didn't think she could stay clean with you in her life because it

was too much. The pressure not to let you down. Stop.

You stop. You stop pretending. You don't love Erin because she's not strong like

you. That is not true.

No? No, it's not.

She scares me.

Okay?

She scares me because I can't control her and I can't fix her and if I can't

fix her Then I can't protect her and it's all I've ever wanted to

do I Love her more than anything. She's all I have

Please let her go please I'm sorry

I'm sorry What I did was wrong

I can't do more.

Oh, Maggie.

Yes.

Look at me.

This is how we rebuild trust.

Honesty and accountability.

Hmm?

And now we can move forward.

Erin?

Erin?

Is there anything that you can tell us, Ms. Squitieri, about Ray, his father's

relationship, any biographical details that could help us locate where he is

holding my partner?

Ray was 12 when I left. I don't know how helpful I can be. Did Lude do that to

you, your husband?

Among others.

Forget-me-nots.

Gave one to Ray, too.

Reminder of who's in charge, I suppose.

Uh, Ray idolizes his father, yeah.

Oh, to say the least.

His father was the world to him. There was no daylight between those two.

Certainly no room for me, but it wasn't right. A man shouldn't raise his son

like that.

Raise him how?

He was training Ray.

Training him for violence?

How was he training your son?

Every day. Little things.

Survival strategies. Oh, and you take him to these... these camps.

Up in the woods.

Knives.

Axes.

Ray loved it.

Come home all puffed up.

Helen, do you remember the names of these camps?

Maggie!

All right, people, listen up. We've got a lifeline. Ray DiStefano's father took

him to survivalist camps upstate a company called Natural Selection. We

think he may be holding Maggie and Aaron there at one of the old campgrounds.

Now, OA and Peter Olsen are headed north now, but we need to point them to a

specific site. So let's talk about this company.

Right. Natural Selection went under in 2003 after allegations of child abuse at

the camps. Right. So where are these campgrounds?

Yeah, here we go.

Okay. They operated 17 different sites all the way up to the Canadian border.

Okay, so they could be anywhere from here to the St. Lawrence River. We got

to do better. Jubal.

Yeah. You know how ERT found traces of beet brine at the abduction site? The

road de-icing. So are any of these campgrounds in Dutchess or Solomon

County? Only one.

There's a natural selection campground just south of Dover. We think he's

holding them there. We're sending you the location now.

Math says 10 minutes.

We'll be there in five.

You're retired, Olsen. I should not have let you come along if things get dicey.

I don't recall asking permission.

I need to find her just as much as you do.

Okay, you and Maggie, you've been giving her lessons, right?

They're not lessons. We play chess, talk about old cases, try to make sense of

psyches separate from morality or reality.

Okay, call it whatever you want. You've been mentoring her. So tell me, a danger

like this against someone like DiStefano, does Maggie have a chance?

You know your partner.

What do you think?

Clear. Go away.

It's fresh.

They haven't been gone long.

She got out.

Okay, I want every available agent, local PD, state troopers, everyone

combing those woods. And you know what? Let's raise an aircraft that can get

thermal imagery of the area. And we need to pull nature cam footage as well.

Everything we've got.

We need to find her now!

This has got to be Maggie. It's too small to be DeStefano.

She's hurt.

She's on the run.

Okay, two trails from this point. Red trail to the Pinelands, green trail to

the lake.

And look, she left us breadcrumbs.

She's headed to the Pinelands. No, no, no, hang on. Maggie didn't know for sure

that we were coming. This is a diversion.

This isn't for us, this is for him.

Be positive. I'm not a behavior analysis expert, but I know my partner.

She's headed to the lake. Maggie, go!

I'm only going to slow you down. Go!

Maggie!

Blood on the trail map to throw me off.

My clever Maggie.

But I'm good at tracking Maggie, and you should know that.

Worth a shot.

We've been doing so well. We're making such progress.

And then you broke my heart again.

Where is Erin?

Where is she?

I told you, Maggie.

I give you a scar that you can never hide.

I need you to grab my hand.

I can't.

Help me.

I'm here.

Find a place for your foot.

That's it.

There you go. There you go. Okay.

Okay. I'm here. I got you. I got you.

Come on.

Right here.

Grab it.

Grab it. I got you.

I got you.

Look at me. You're not going to fall.

I got you.

Come on.

Come on.

That's it.

What?

Aaron, did you find her?

Maggie!
