Original subtitles

- Yeah, they're inside.

- Okay. Take care. - Okay.

- He's coming in.

- So this is Mike Ferro's house.

- Yep.

For the most part, he covered his tracks pretty well.

No explosives residue in the house, basement, or the garage.

It's not surprising, considering we found these in the garbage.

- Nail polish remover?

- Same brand you use, Stamell?

- Acetone neutralizes explosive residues.

- Yep. Literally made a clean getaway,

except for one thing.

We checked out his search history.

He was recently looking up servomotors.

- You said the bomb worked on a mechanical detonator.

Could it have been a small servo?

- Damn hell right it could have been.

THE FUGITIVE

- Here you go, honey.

Here you go.

- Hello. - Hi, Pearl. Listen carefully, okay?

My name is Dale.

Your father, he left your number in my phone.

I was with him this morning.

He helped save a woman from the train wreckage.

He didn't hurt anybody, okay?

Your father didn't do this.

The police, they're going after the wrong guy.

- Is everything okay, Pearl? Is that your father?

Who is that?

- Tell him I'm your uncle.

If he thinks I'm helping your dad, he'll call the cops,

and the cops are not your dad's friends right now.

Can you do that?

- It's my uncle.

- May I speak to him for a moment?

Please.

Hello. This is Principal Spitaro. - Hi.

This is Pearl's uncle Dale, and I'm...

I'm in Seattle. I just saw the news.

I can't believe what's going on here.

- The poor kid's been through the wringer.

Cops came to question her and to see if maybe Mike was heading over here.

There's two cops stationed out front right now.

And the radio says her mom's been arrested.

And to top it off, the school psychologist is not here today,

and I am not trained for this kind of thing.

- Okay. Just put her on the phone. I'll tell her it's gonna be okay,

and she'll listen to me.

Thank you so much.

- Yeah. No. Thank you.

Okay, here... here she is.

Here you go. Here's your uncle.

- Hi. It's me. - Hi, Pearl.

You're doing great.

Now here's the thing.

The police, they think your dad's dangerous.

And I'm afraid if they find him alone, they'll hurt him.

- I don't want him to get hurt. - Me, neither.

So if I can get to him,

what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna walk him into the police station myself

because if a civilian like me is with him, the cops will be more careful.

I'll tell them what I saw, what your dad did,

that he was a hero, not a killer.

Now, I know he probably wants to talk to you,

so I'm gonna give you my number,

and if he reaches out to you, you can have him call me.

Okay, can you get a pen?

- Yeah.

- All right, my number is 917...

- Okay. Got it.

- Pearl, I know you're scared.

I would be, too.

But I promise you I'm gonna help your dad.

- Names of the deceased are now coming in.

Homemaker Rose Rodriguez, dentist Peter LaFontaine,

parole officer Kevin Lawson, local business owner Kyle Merrick.

- You see this shit? - We have obtained footage of...

- Shit's messed up.

The guy blew that train apart.

It's like fingers and legs all over.

- The authorities are still looking for a motive

and possible terrorist connections. - 30 bucks.

- Suspect Michelangelo Ferro is still believed to be somewhere in the city.

Michelangelo Ferro was...

- Credit? I'm gonna need an ID.

- I must have left my ID at home.

Ran out of the house.

- I'm sorry, man. No ID, no phone, my home.

- 30 bucks? - Yeah.

- All right, thanks.

- Oh, hell, no.

Shoplifting comes out of my pay, bitch.

Yeah, yeah. Sleeper hold. Neck, neck.

Neck, neck, bitch.

Yeah.

- No. - Fuck!

- Okay. Here, here.

No, no. I'm sorry. Put this on your wound.

- Fuck!

- My God, I'm telling you the truth.

I am telling you the truth!

FBI HEADQUARTERS, CHICAGO

- Those were found in your garbage. Want to explain?

- Really? Nail polish remover.

Mike used them to remove a ring from the bathtub.

- And his search history?

He was checking out servomotors,

the same mechanism used for the bombing.

- He was doing research, okay?

To help Pearl with her robotics project for school.

- Seems you have a fast answer for everything we throw at you.

- You only need time when you're coming up with a lie,

and I told you that I am not lying.

- Want to tell us why, then, immediately before the bomb went off,

your husband was trying to send this text to your phone?

- That your little anarchist catchphrase?

"Kill it all."

- Can I use your pen?

I just want to show you something.

Kill it, Allison.

Okay? I had a presentation today, and he was telling me to kill it.

He says it to me all the time, you stupid assholes.

- We're gonna run down your stories. Be back in a bit.

- Can I at least call my daughter?

- No!

- How about I get you something to eat from the vending machine?

I'll get you a bag of chips.

- Okay.

- Mike Ferro was sentenced to over three years in prison

and was released approximately six months ago,

his finance...

- Hello. - Pearl, honey, are you okay?

- Dad, Dad, I'm scared. Why are the police after you?

- Honey, I don't know. Someone's made a mistake.

Okay, are you at school?

- I'm alone in Principal Spitaro's office.

- All right, I need you to stay with your teachers

until Mom can get back from Chicago.

- But they arrested Mom.

- What?

- It was on the news.

They arrested Mommy.

I just want to go home.

- Okay, honey. Listen, Daddy needs you to be strong right now.

You're gonna be fine.

- What if they take you away again?

- No, baby, they're not. I promise that, okay?

I just... I'm gonna fix everything.

I just need to figure out what's going on.

- I know someone who can help.

A guy called the school to talk to me.

He said that you saved a lady this morning.

You got her out of the tunnel.

He knows you're not bad.

He says you're a hero, not a killer.

- Pearl, honey, tell me you know how to get in contact with this man.

- Hello. - Is this Dale?

- Oh, Mike, thank God. You're all over the news.

They're calling you a murderer.

But murderers don't rescue people from bomb sites.

- Exactly, no, they don't.

My daughter said you have an idea on how to help me.

- Yeah, yeah, I do. So they're saying shoot to kill.

But not if you have a citizen by your side,

so what if we meet up?

You know, and I thought maybe I'd walk you into the police precinct,

but maybe a reporter's office is better.

I'll tell them what happened. You'll have to give yourself up,

but no one's shooting you in the lobby of the L.A. Times.

Then you'll have your side of the story in the press,

and you need an eyewitness to confirm everything.

- All right, yeah.

Yeah, how do I know you're not a cop?

- Mike, I was with you this morning.

We helped that woman who could barely walk.

Hey, I'm just trying to help you.

It's up to you. I'm in Echo Park.

We can meet up somewhere, and I'll take you to the press.

- Okay. Let's do it.

- Great.

Let's meet downtown at the courthouse,

corner of Temple and Spring,

across the street from the L.A. Times.

- Okay. I'll see you there.
