Do we have any plans for Saturday?

Saturday. That's hours and hours away.

I don't know. Why?

I'd like to go see my dad.

Oh, it's his birthday already. Wow.

I haven't seen him since he... left.

It would be so great to
see him on his birthday.

Yeah, it would. But there's
this whole process that you have

to go through before a minor
can see a prisoner, and...

I just need to follow up
and see how that's going.

Okay?

Does that sound good to you?

I know that it's hard on
the kids, not seeing me.

But you think it's not
gonna be hard on them

seeing me like this?

They know where you are, Tim.

They know what you did.

What they don't know is,
I've been lying to them,

creating these fake hoops
that you're supposedly jumping

through before you can see them.

You've never lied for me before.

Why're you doing it now?

You're right, I shouldn't.

So you tell them yourself.

Give them a call, and tell
them how much you miss them,

and tell them not to come
see you on your birthday.

Saturday.

Thank you.

We're done here.

Hey! Hey!

Hey buddy, are you all right?

Yes. Yes, I'm fine.

What was all that about?

I don't know, I need to get back to work.

My name's Matt McLean, I run this project.

John Chow.

You work for the plumbing
subcontractor, yeah?

Yes, Mr. Rigby.

What's going on here, John?

It's all a misunderstanding.
It's not your problem.

This is my job site. Anything
that happens is my problem.

John. My wife and her partner
will do anything to help you.

Just explain to them the
way you did to me, okay?

Allison and Devin are good
people, you can trust them.

They won't let Mei-Mei go.

Mei-Mei is his girlfriend.

I paid them to bring her here
from our hometown in China.

Who are these people?

He doesn't know their names.

They contact him, never
the other way around.

So, you paid these men
to bring your girlfriend

into the country illegally?

I should not have come.
I am sorry to bother you.

Are you in the country illegally, Mr. Chow?

My papers are counterfeit, yes.

That's why I had to pay
these men bring to her here.

If my papers were real,
I would have gone home,

married her, brought her here myself but...

I'm sorry.

Are you sure they have
Mei-Mei here in Washington?

They gave me this.

Yesterday's paper.

How much more do they want?

Five thousand dollars.
Or they won't let her go.

I'm afraid that if we don't
pay, they will hurt her.

They only gave me three days.

Let's not worry about the money right now.

Let's focus on finding Mei-Mei.

How do you communicate with these men?

I talked to them once, when
they first approached me.

Everything else is from text message.

We're going to need to look at your phone.

They approached you?

Yes, outside my church.

How did they know you have a girlfriend

who wants to come into the country?

I told everybody I want
to bring Mei-Mei over.

My friends, my classmates
in my English class at the

community center, people
at the bar after work.

I light candles at church every day,

I tell people there too.

Okay, plenty of possibilities.

I'm going to need you both to
sit down with a sketch artist.

Then we'll start with the church and see

if they know the two men.

We're going to do everything
we can to find Mei-Mei.

Okay, Mr. Chow? Everything.

Did you check the SIM
card on John Chow's phone?

No, I'm not telling you
how to do your job...

The phone numbers, any of the traces

come up on the phone numbers?

Okay, thank you, Kayla.

So, the world's happiest
forensic tech says all the texts

John received were from burner
phones. So, no leads there.

I talked to the priest
and the church secretary.

Neither of them has heard
any talk about smugglers.

And the sketch?

Didn't ring a bell. How about you?

Any interesting people-watching?

Well, Mr. Congeniality
over there keeps talking to

single people as they come out,
but no couples or families.

He doesn't match the sketch.

Maybe his job is to find the lonely hearts.

And then he funnels them
through John's smugglers.

Shall we?

Yes, let's.

Stop! Police!

I hope Mr. Lonelyhearts serves his

customers as quickly as he runs.

Hey! I didn't do anything wrong!

You run from the police for exercise?

We're looking for two
Asian men who are smuggling

people into the country.

So this is racial profiling!

This has the possibility of
being a polite conversation

for about ten more seconds. And then

it's an interrogation at the station.

I help newly arrived members
of the community find jobs.

That makes me one of the good guys.

Yeah? Let's see if you know the bad guys.

Yeah! You know them.

I didn't say that.

A woman's life is at stake.

I might have seen them
around. I'm not sure.

Sometimes the smart thing
to do is to focus on my own

business and stay out of other people's.

How exactly does your business work?

I'm a matchmaker.

I know employer's needs, and I find people

who can fill those needs.

So if you met a young woman
who recently arrived in this

country; maybe her status
is somewhat questionable,

what kind of job could you find for her?

I think much better with my hands are free.

We're not bargaining.

I am, by talking to you.

You don't understand who these guys are.

Thinking better?

Much more clearly.

What kind of jobs do you match?

The ones you don't notice.

Farm work, menial labor,
cleaning, restaurants.

Have you matched any young women who have

arrived in the country in
the last week? Maybe two?

Possibly.

Take us to them.

I think it's much safer for all
of us if I send them to you.

Please.

Alright keep this in
mind: we don't take well

to being double-crossed.

Oh my gosh, oh my gosh!

Is everything all right?

My phone died at school, I was charging it,

and there's a voicemail from your mom!

We get to go see Dad on Saturday!

That's great.

I have to plan! I don't
know where to start!

Well, you want to get him
cards right? So, we can get Dad

to stop at the store on the
way home from school tomorrow.

Yes. A card. Oh, and a haircut!
And a new dress! Thank you!

How about you?

I'll skip the new dress.

Hi, I'm Detective McLean.

Hi, I'm Lihwa.

Come this way. Renshu spoke to you about

why we wanted to talk to
you? About your trip over?

I come to tell you about Mei-Mei.

You know her?

I come three days ago.
On ship, Mei-Mei, too.

Right this way.

Did you check out Kimmie's run on Youtube?

Dude, you gotta check it out!

Alright, then, it's on.
Saturday afternoon, bye.

He is never gonna get a date.

I thought you and Mariah

were going to see your
dad Saturday afternoon.

Since when did you become a human wiretap?

Don't you want to see your dad?

If you understood anything
about me or my life,

you could ask questions.
But you don't. Step off.

Wow. I cannot believe I got
in a fight to defend you.

Quit waiting for me to be grateful.

I didn't ask you to do that.

You and Mei-Mei came over on the same ship.

After you got here,
where did they take you?

A room. Cold. Very dark. Down.

Down? Like a basement?

Did you see their faces?
The people who brought you.

They wear...

Masks?

Yes. Hide face.

Who paid for you to come here?

My brother bring me. He is good, good man.

The people, did they ask
your brother for more money,

to let you go?

Yes! More money. My
brother pay to men in mask.

How did your brother contact them?

They go to him. They come again.
My brother says, like smoke.

So he never had a name? Or a phone number?

No. Mei-Mei say her boyfriend uh...

John?

John, yes.

He not have money like
my brother. Very bad.

Why? What happens if he doesn't pay?

Truck come Saturday. Take her.

Where?

"PAI?"

They'll never see Mei-Mei again.

We don't found them by
Saturday Mei-Mei is lost.

We need to narrow our list of suspects.

We know the smugglers have
good access to the community...

And know how to reel them in.
Then, if your family can't pay

the extra money, you're
on the Saturday truck

to indentured servitude, or worse.

So let's focus on community
access. We tried the church.

John said he talked to friends,
the people in his class at the...

Yeah. I'll drive.

I love teaching English. This
class changed my life when

I got here. Now I can share
what I've learned with others

who are newly arrived.

You're not a native speaker?
Your English is beautiful.

Thank you. So, you are not here
for classes. How can I help you?

We're working on a case
involving a student of yours,

John Chow?

John! Such a great student. So dedicated.

Wait. Is he in trouble?

No. We're actually looking for
someone John may have talked to.

This is a community center.
Everyone talks with everyone.

I don't understand what you need.

Ms. Ma...

Ying, please.

I'm know this is a delicate
matter, but you are aware

of people who come to this center

who entered the country illegally?

I hope you understand, Detective,

I don't concern myself with
how my students get here.

I just welcome them and
try to help them fit in.

That's why I became a teacher,

and joined the board here at the
center. This is my life's work.

And I wouldn't want you to compromise that.

But I need you to be honest
with us. Do you have any reason

to believe an employee, or
even one of your students,

could be recruiting for
a smuggling operation?

Smugglers?

The next class is about to start.

We don't mean to put you
in a difficult position,

but we do need your help.

If you ask people here at the
center why they came to this

country, some will tell
you for opportunity.

Some will say sanctuary.
A few might even say love.

But the real reason,
what all that's part of,

is a new beginning.

So I don't want to judge
anyone because of their past.

But.

I also want to protect
the people who come here,

from anyone who would
take advantage of them.

So there is someone with a
past you're concerned about?

A former student of mine, a man named Shan.

He confessed he had a
criminal record in China.

He was in John's class.

Do you know where we can find him?

He works as a handyman.
At the Orthodox church.

Hey...

Didn't hear the knock. Manners much?

Where's that big sister
radar that always busts me

when I'm trying to steal cookies?

What do you want Jeff?

There's this thing with Cameron.

Oh! Let me drop everything.

He's going to ditch the
birthday trip to see his dad.

Did he tell you that?

Yes. So, do I tell Mom
and let Cameron hate me,

or let it play out and
have Mom get mad when

she figures out I knew?

If we tell Mom, both
Mom and Cameron blow up.

If there's some way for
us to talk to Cameron,

then, at most, he freaks.
And who'll notice, really?

The way I do the math, we talk to Cameron.

So you want me to come with you now?

No, it's fine. I'll do it.
Your hair looks good like that.

Are you Shan?

Yeah, I'm Shan.

We're...

Cops. Obviously.

We just have a few questions for you.

Know why I left China? Police harassment.

Trust me, this isn't harassment.
We're looking for cooperation

okay? So, let's have a friendly
conversation about a young

woman called Mei-Mei. And the
two men who are holding her.

And possibly other women.

Holding them?

These two men are running
an extortion game.

In league with smugglers.
Know anybody like that?

You know Mei-Mei's boyfriend, John Chow,

from your English class. Did you
tell the smugglers he wanted to

bring his girlfriend over?

Or did you broker the deal yourself?

You don't understand
what you're dealing with.

Tell us.

If you want these women to get hurt,

just keep pushing.

If something bad happens, it's on you.

Is that a warning or a threat?

Arrest me or let me work.

I'm very appreciating what
you're doing for John.

I just wish I'd doing more. Tee clock is
ticking and we still haven't found Mei-Mei.

I've been thinking about something.

Need to hear me out.

Okay.

I know ***

especially Cameron and Mariah but...

****

****

I feel like if he comes down to it.

I like to help John pay these guys.

I love you for wanting to do that.

But we can't.

He doesn't have anybody.

Yeah but we just can't pay kidnappers.

How's John doing?

He's a ***.

He insisted to come back to the
site. He's working twices hard.

Sometimes work make things better.

***

I am not sure.

Maybe he is a victim.
He also broken the law.

If you *** then I'd do
anything to get you back.

I am always the first one
to come in the morning

to access the voice mail.

This is how I found it.

Can you translate for us.

First symbol mean

"do not".

Second ones mean "police talk".

Don't talk to the police.

I got your...

Oh no. Who did this?

I have no idea.

Our forensic team is on the way.

Why would... Who did you talk to? Shan?

Ying, we need to follow
every possible lead...

That's what I was afraid
of. Now it comes back on me.

My students.

We're doing everything to
find the men who did this

and remove them from the community.

Most of them came to this
country to feel safe.

They need to be able to
come here and feel safe.

To trust me. I can't talk to you anymore.

Breakfast in five, girls!

What do you think?

Depends. What's the occasion?

You going to see your Dad. Which
one would you like to borrow?

I thought the blue one would
look super cute on you,

but I have others.

I don't know what I want to wear,

I don't know what the card should say,

I don't know what to do with my hair,

I don't know what to say to
him when I see him other than

Happy Birthday, which is so stupid because

how happy can he be?

I'm going to mess this
whole thing up, I know I am.

No, you won't. Okay?

He's probably just as nervous as you are.

Parents, they don't like us
to know when they're nervous

or scared or upset. They
think they're protecting us.

So I bet he'll be just as
worried as you are about

saying the right thing,
he just won't show it.

I don't want to make things worse for him.

You won't. He'll feel
better just seeing you.

But I still have to say something.

Tell him... tell him funny stories about

Cameron and Jeff doing stupid things.

That'll take care of the
first hour or two, at least.

Do you have anything in orange?

So was the graffiti a message
from Shan? Or did Shan

pass along that we were asking
questions to someone else?

Either way, he's involved.
So we need dig hard,

and get enough to bring him in.

I'll be right back.

You have a call from
Greenwater Corrections Center.

Tim?

Yes.

What's up?

Saturday.

No. You are not backing out, Tim.

Don't come.

Unbelievable. Grow up!

Excuse me?

You're doing time because you had to prove

what a big tough guy you are.

Now you can't even step up
to the plate for an hour,...

One hour... to make your children happy?

I don't need a lecture from you
about being a better father,

about being a better man,
about being a better anything.

What I need is for you to
stop pretending I can be

anything other than this right now.

Too bad.

You said you took my kids in to
protect them. So protect them.

Listen, before our carpool gets here,

I have something I want to say.

Fine! Pretend I'm just
a voice in your head.

The one that tells you if
you're about to screw up.

Because that's what you're doing.

If you blow off this trip,
your dad will be hurt.

Mariah will cry and my mom will flip out.

Go back to being a jerk Saturday night,

but do the right thing Saturday afternoon.

It's always nice to talk to you, Cuz.

How you doing? What happened?

That says, 4 PM.

I thought we had until Saturday.

You're telling me the deadline
is in less than three hours?

They want all the money
by today. I don't have it.

They've already hurt
her. What will they do if

I don't get them the money?

It's not going to come
to that, I promise you.

My wife and her partner
will make sure of that.

Okay, how about the gas station
on the corner? Their cameras

should have a line of sight
to the community center...

Shan's record is completely clean? No...

Okay great, keep working on it.

You're Sure? I'll call you right back.

Allison...

Thanks.

Hi!

Look at this.

Where'd this come from?

It was at the job site this morning.

The new deadline is four o'clock.

Less than two hours.

Yeah.

Why do you have a photo of Shan?

You remember him?

Yes, he was in my English class.

You don't think he is involved
with the men who have Mei-Mei?

We're considering that possibility.

No, no.

Shan looks rough, I know.
But he has a good heart.

He wasn't very helpful
when we spoke to him.

Of course not, you're strangers. Police.

He is much different as a friend.

We've had many long talks in class.

He too wants to bring his wife
over. You must forget about Shan

and focus on the men who have Mei-Mei.

Wait John, stop.

You talked about your wives
and girlfriends during class?

Yes. Ying encouraged us to
talk about our lives back home,

and our families, I know many
facts about my classmates now.

I'm sure you do.

We'll just, uh... wait here.

This is the place? 4959?

Yeah, this is the address
the receptionist gave me.

She said she left the
community center right after

we did and headed home.

Not quite what I was expecting.

Well she's full of surprises.

Let's turn the tables.

Crestview PD. Ying Ma, open up!

Hey Devin?

Nothing.

Crestview PD!

Help! Help me please!

Did you hear that?

Yeah.

Help me! Help

Did you hear that? That's probable cause.

Help me, please!

Crestview PD. We're here to help you.

Do you understand?

We're police officers,
we're here to help you.

Are you hurt? Are you okay?

I'm going to show you a picture...

Mask men take her.

They took her just now?

Mei-Mei...

Yeah, I need an ambulance, 4959 Addison...

The woman who was placed
in the truck, Mei-Mei.

Do you know what'll happen to her?

Sold.

Do you have any idea where they went?

Did you remember them saying anything else?

We really want to find Mei-Mei.

Ying say, go to lawn of salvation.

Okay. Thank you.

They're gonna take care of you, okay?

Where's Chow?

He had a personal matter to
attend to, I gave him the day.

Then why was he on site half an hour ago,

asking me how to get to Snoqualmie Pass?

He was here? I didn't see him.

That's because he was sneaking
around, breaking into my truck

and stealing my payroll
cash for the day laborers.

C'mon Rigby, John wouldn't do that.

He cleaned me out!

Hey. Everything okay?

No. John Chow just stole money
to pay to those smugglers.

What? From you?

No, from Rigby.

He was asking for directions
to Snoqualmie Pass.

Okay. Hey can you bring up
Snoqualmie Pass on the screen.

Matt, you're on speaker.

I should've kept an eye on him.

Honey, it's not your fault.

We talked to a woman
who said Ying was taking

Mei-Mei to the lawn of salvation.

John's never mentioned
the pass to me before...

It doesn't make sense for the
smugglers to use the lodges up

there as an exchange
point. It's too visible.

Maybe the meeting's not at
the pass. They're just heading

in that direction and using
it as a reference point.

But they still have to pick a
spot that's fairly isolated.

Any cemeteries up there?

No, but there is a salvage yard.

Lawn of salvation.

Salvage, salvation. It's
all in the translation.

And the city closed this yard a
year ago. There's the isolation.

Thanks, babe. I'll let you
know when we find John.

Yeah, be careful. Love you.

Love you, too.

John's been told to meet there
to pay Ying and her people,

and release Mei-Mei in the next 35 minutes.

Ying accelerated the
schedule and ran. She knows

we're after her and that
makes John a loose end.

She wants John there so she can kill him.

Let's roll.

You? I can't believe you...

It's just business, John.
Did you bring the money?

Most of it.

Almost two thousand dollars.

John! John!

Mei-Mei, it's okay, I'm
here! It's okay, Mei-Mei!

The price is five thousand, John. Not two.

Please, this is all I
could get. Don't take her.

I'll do anything. Take me. Sell me.

Do whatever you want with me.

Okay.

Okay.

Take his money and shoot him.

Please. I'll give you
the rest of the money.

You talked to the police,
John. Bad for business.

We just want to be together, I love her.

Shoot him and dump his body in the woods.

Out of sight!

Crestview PD!

Stop them!

Put your weapon down! Now!

Ying! Stop!

I've got him. Go!

Put your hands on your
head and turn around!

You had me fooled, Ying!

I thought you actually
liked to help these people.

Help them find new lives, new hope.

But all you care about is the money.

That is the American
dream! I have money. Power.

These women want the same!

And you're gonna help them get that

by selling them into slavery?

I'm giving them an opportunity.

It's up to them to make something of it.

I should arrest you for
crimes against feminism.

John and Mei-Mei are both safe.

Thank you for everything
you did for him. For them.

Thank you, sweetheart. You're terrific.

Well, you made this
happen. I'll be home soon.

Matt sends his best. He's
so happy you're both safe.

I'm sorry for stealing the money.

I know it was wrong, but
when I saw the photo of her,

how they'd hurt her...

Matt will talk to Rigby.
He'll see what he can do.

Did you tell them about our papers?

Do me and Mei-Mei need to go with them now?

John, You were just trying to
bring your family together and

I know from personal experience
how tough that can be.

We're going to need you
as witnesses against Ying.

I don't understand.

Matt and I know a great immigration lawyer.

We'll have him meet with you and Mei-Mei.

I'm sure the Feds will be gracious,

since we couldn't have
caught Ying without you.

She says you are now a part of our family.

And we will do everything we can

to help you get started in Crestview.

Thank you.

Who made you dress up on a Saturday?

I'm gonna go see my dad.

You look almost as nice as Mariah.

Do you have your birthday cards?

Does my hair look okay?

It looks nice.

I'm nervous.

Don't be. It'll be great. You'll be great.

Yes. This is going to be wonderful.

Have fun.

Thank you.

Take it easy.

I'll try.

Good afternoon. Here to see Timothy Olson.

Why don't you guys sit down?

What's wrong?

Nothing, I just need to get us signed in.

This is a scheduled visit.

Yeah, um... it looks like your
inmate's in the infirmary.

No one's allowed to see him.

Can you take me in?

I can give you an exception for
the badge, but not for them.

I'm going to go find out what's going on.

Let me take your cards, just in case.

You think dad's okay?

This guy just comes at me. In the corridor.

I'm on my way down to see you and... pow.

Pow?

Yeah, he starts trash-talking me.

You can't tolerate that in a
place like this. So, I respond.

Of course you did.

Yeah, I gave it back to
him, and he swings on me.

That's the best you can do?

You get into a fight ten
minutes before we get here?

I didn't start this.

You wanted to get your
visitation privileges revoked.

You just can't do the
right thing for your kids.

I did not start this.

You never do.

Taking responsibility requires
maturity and that is a burden

you put on everybody else,
including Cameron and Mariah.

I've got bigger problems than this, okay?

I don't need to hear you
complaining because things

aren't going your way. I got
my privileges are revoked,

there's nothing I can do about it.

You'll never understand how
hard it was for those kids to

make this trip, and now they
have to turn around and go home.

My home. Their home.

They're going to be so
hurt and disappointed.

Here's the good news: you
don't have to worry about it,

because I'm going to
take care of your kids.

The way you never have. Happy Birthday.

Hey gang! Thought we'd get
an early start on dinner

so we can hear all the...

What happened?

He was sick. We didn't see him.

At least he knows you're thinking about him

on his birthday.

Look, we don't have to eat right now.

If you guys aren't up for it, no big deal.

I could be hungry.

I love corn on the cob.

Besides dad's birthday, Aunt
Allison just closed a big case

yesterday, right?

I did. Thanks.

And Rachel finally got her
hair back under control.

And Jeff tried to get his
mouth back under control.

See? Plenty to celebrate.

Well all right. Let's do this!

Grab a plate you guys. Build your own!
