- Federal agents, freeze!

Don't touch that gun,

Don't touch it!

What is
this, what's going on?

- Federal agents, freeze!

Do you see me moving?

- Cuff him.
- Lorenzo, lorenzo!

- Cuff him.

- What's this?

- Your new life.

- Teresa matheson.

- Sign here.

- You really think
you can protect me?

- Haven't lost one yet.

- Well...

It's not much,
elena, but it's home.

- Hello?

Hello?

Teresa, is that you?

- We got this, right?

Hey, just you and me.

- Mom, I'm home.

Mom?

Mom?

Mom?

- Elena, I didn't
hear you come in.

- Are we going somewhere?

- Uh... Actually, I
need to talk to you.

Let's go sit, dinner
should be ready soon.

- You said you wanted to talk.

- I have to go away
for a few days.

You'll be alright on
your own, won't you?

- Sure but what's going on?

Where are you going?

- I have to go home,

Back where I grew up.

Your grandmother
in the hospital.

- Wait, what?

- She's very sick

And may not have much longer.

- You mean grandma sofia, did
she die like a long time ago

Before I was born?

- That's what I told you.

- So my grandmother's
still alive.

- I thought I was doing the
right thing at the time.

- What, why?

- I'm sorry I lied, but
I wanted to protect you.

- To protect me from
my own grandmother?

- It's more
complicated than that.

- Complicated how?

Okay, well, why can't
you explain it to me?

Just tell me the truth.

- You have a right to know the
truth, but not now, not yet.

- Why?

- I need to finish packing.

- When do you leave?

- Early tomorrow.

I'll be gone and back
before you know it.

- Have a good trip, I guess.

- Bye, baby.

- Bye, mom.

- Bye.

I have to remind
you, this trip goes against

The advice of the
federal marshall service.

- I am well aware.

- Do you know that we can't
guarantee your protection once

You leave here, you'll
be giving up your cover.

- I know the risks.

They play in my head on a loop.

You know, there's some things
in life you just have to do.

I owe this to my mother.

- Your mother wouldn't want you

To risk your life to see her.

Teresa, don't do this.

- If anything should
happen to me...

- Your daughter will
be taken care of.

Hi, you've reached
teresa, please leave a message

And I'll get right back to you.

- Mom, it's me.

I haven't heard from you

And I'm starting to
get really worried,

Please call me back.

Who are you?

- Grant carter, us marshals
service, can I come in?

- I saw you before.

What do you want with my mom?

Is she in trouble?

- I'm actually here
to talk to you.

It's about your mother
but it would be better

If I could come inside.

You can keep

The door open if you want.

- Okay.

I was about to make some
coffee, do you want some?

- Sure. Thanks.

- So, you said
you're a us marshal?

- That's right.

- So what is it?

- It's about your mother.

- Yeah, you already said that.

Did something happen?

- She was found last night.

Authorities are saying
it's a homicide.

- What?

- I'm sorry.

- She's dead?

- Someone found
her at the hospital

After she had visited
your grandmother.

She had asphyxiated.

- How could someone
do that to her?

- Look, I know this is a
shock, do you want to sit?

I don't know how much she
told you about her past

And her involvement with
the marshal's office.

- Her what?

I...

I can't.

I don't want to
hear this right now.

- This affects you too.

- My mom is gone.

I don't care about
anything else.

- For when you're ready to talk.

- Please just go.

Get out.

How could you leave
me like this, mom?

I still need you.

Russo? What is this?

Four valley plain teens were
involved in a two-car accident

On Friday leaving one passenger
dead and another paralyzed.

Track star teresa russo was
hospitalized with several broken

Bones while her friend
jacqueline armstrong was admitted

With a concussion and
severe facial lacerations.

Teresa russo?

Look, if you don't leave,

I'm gonna call the cops.

Elena?

- Someone's outside of my door
trying to break into my house.

- Find a place to
stay out of sight,

I'll be there in less than ten.

- Okay.

- It's carter!

- Did you see them?

- I checked the
whole neighbourhood.

- Well, someone was here.

- I believe you and I take all

Potential threats seriously.

We'll see what your neighbour's
cameras can tell us.

- It's weird, right?

The timing.

- Could be a regular robbery

Attempt or it could have

Something to do with your mom.

- How?

- I guess teresa didn't mention
the witness protection program.

- Mom was in the witness
protection program?

- She was. So were you,
by default. Until now.

- Until she died you mean.

- Someone very dangerous
has been after your mom

For the past 21 years.

Last week when she
went to her hometown...

- They found her
and they killed her.

- So... So, you know who
did it, you can arrest them.

- Possible leads, but we need
something concrete to be able

To bring our case
to the us attorney.

Elena, I'm concerned about
your safety, especially after

Everything that happened today.

I think we should find

A place for you to move to.

- What?

What? No.

I...

I just lost my mom, this place

Is the only thing I have left.

- Please consider this.
When you're ready,

We can set you up
with a new identity.

- Like you did for my mom?

Didn't work out so well for her.

- Alright, keep the door bolted
shut, make sure the windows

Are all locked,
don't let anyone in.

- You're leaving?

- I have to. I'm sorry.

- But I have more questions.

- Do you know arbor park?

Why don't you meet me
there at noon tomorrow?

I'll bring your mother's file
and I'll post a car out front

To watch the house tonight.

- I'll be there.

- Uh, you got
ketchup on your tie.

- Ah, shoot.

Uh...

Um...

As promised,

Copy of your mother's
witness protection file.

- There's not much here.

- Yeah.

Because her case is still open,

Some of the files
are classified.

- What about my dad?

Is he in here?

Lorenzo bruno.

This is him?

- Yes.

- Is there a photo?

Is that him with my mom?

Wait, are you telling
me that my mom entered

Witness protection because she
testified against my father?

- They were dating at the time.

By all accounts,
he was volatile.

Your mom did a brave thing
by testifying against him.

Not a good guy, at
least back then.

He was caught up with a
lot of dangerous people.

- And now?

- He's allegedly cleaned himself

Up over the last several years.

Who knows, maybe he's finally
straightened out his life.

- So he's out of prison?

Do you think he's the
one that killed my mom?

- He's on the suspect list.

- Along with who?

- The other defendant.

Here's a photo.

Frank stefano,

Notorious kingpin of
the criminal operation

He and lorenzo were
running back then.

- He looks mean.

- Your mom helped
put him away too.

- Damn, mom.

- Yeah, he's still doing
time, but he has other that'll

Do his dirty work for him.

- Have you talked
to any of them?

- Like I said before,
we're working all leads.

It's not always straight forward,
my team faces a lot of red tape.

Have you given any more
thought to my offer?

- Sorry.

I can't do this right now.

- I put a form in there.

Take a look at it
whenever you're ready.

All you'd have to do is
just sign if you decide

You want to take the offer.

- Carter.

You have to come.

- Are you okay?

- Someone was here.

- Don't touch anything,
I'm on my way.

How you holding up?

You've reconsidered my offer?

I think you'll realize
it's the right decision.

This is teresa's signature.

- Yeah.

She signed it

And look where it got her.

I'm not gonna make
the same mistake.

- The program works.

Now, what happened to teresa
shouldn't have happened,

But it was because she left
the witness protection program

To return to her old life.

- One time.

She left once to visit her
own mother after 21 years.

You should've found a
way to keep her safe.

- You're right.

- I do agree with
you on one thing:

Whoever was after my mom
seems to be coming after me.

I can't stay here.

- So what's your plan?

- Visit my grandmother
before it's too late.

- You're going to new jersey?
- Tomorrow.

I bought a plane ticket.

- I can't stress to you
how bad of an idea that is.

You'll be walking straight
into the lion's den.

- I've already
thought it through.

No one there knows me. And
besides, nobody is going

To expect teresa russo's
daughter to suddenly

Show up in town.

- Clearly somebody knows you

Well enough to be targeting you.

I can't keep you safe,
do you understand that?

- I just...

I have to do this.

I need to know who my mother
was and while I'm there,

I'm gonna find her killer.

I'm not bound by
red tape like you.

- Are your people almost done?

I need to pack.

- Will you let me drive you
to the airport tomorrow?

Hello?

Hello?

Look, I don't need no
perverts calling my...

- Hi.

Is this jacqueline armstrong?

- Who's asking?

- My name is elena matheson,
I'm the daughter of an old

Friend of yours, teresa russo.

- Teresa?

I haven't heard
from her in ages.

I didn't know she
had a daughter.

How is she?

- That's actually
why I'm calling you.

I'm sorry to tell you that

She passed away last week.

- Oh.

Now that's a shame.

I wish we could have
gotten together again,

For old time's sake.

- Do you still live
in valley plain?

- At this point,

I'm never getting out.

- I'm flying there tomorrow.

- Oh!

Well, you should
come by for a visit,

Where are you staying?

- I'll probably just
get a rental place.

- Ah, nonsense.

You can stay here. I
mean, it's nothing fancy,

But I've got a room to spare.

- That's really nice
of you, jacqueline.

- Well, teresa was
my best friend.

It's the least I can do.

And please, call me jackie.

- Here, let me help you.

- Oh, I'm good.

- You sure about this?

- Yes. I'm sure.

- Elena, please understand
that my hands are tied.

I wish it could be different

But my boss won't allow me to be

Your handler once you leave.

I won't be able

To guarantee your safety.

- You couldn't
guarantee it anyway.

- Wait.

Where will you be staying?

- With my mom's old friend,
jacqueline armstrong.

- Will you at least check in
with me when you get there?

Just a text to let
me know you're safe.

- Fine.

- And the address

Of where you're staying.

And her licence plate number.

Actually, if you could text me
once a day, that would be great.

- We're gonna be late.

- Ah.

- Elena!

Is that you?

- Yeah, hi.

- Hi. I'm jackie.

Come on, come on.

Oh my gosh, look at you!

- Oh...
- Here let me take that...

- Oh, it's really...
- Oh, no, I insist.

- Oh.
- Okay, thanks.

Okay, well... Okay,
come on, let's go.

Ooh, you got a lot of stuff.

Welcome.

Sit, sit, sit.

You must be starving.

- Oh, well...
- I made my famous meatloaf,

Everyone loves it.

Oh, it's nice and hot.

Okay, here we are...

There it is.

Okay, you've got hot, you've
got cold, you're all set.

- Thank you.

- I couldn't believe
it when you called.

Yeah... But now that you're
here, you have to tell me

Everything about teresa.
I mean, god rest her.

We were inseparable growing up.

Always had big plans to
get out of this town but...

Of course, teresa was
the one to finally do it.

I often wondered where she went,

I felt like she fell off
the face of the earth.

- Oh...

We've been in ohio.

- Ohio?

Why would she go there?

- I don't think she
had much of a choice.

Mom was in witness protection
because of something

That happened before I was born.

I didn't even know about
any of this until she...

Died.

- Wait a sec, is this because of
that trial where she testified?

- Yeah.

- That's crazy!

You mean you didn't know
anything about your family

Or your mother's last name
or any stuff like that?

- I've never even
met my grandmother...

- Oh.

- And...

I hear she's not doing too well.

- Sweet sofia.

I heard she's over at
greenpoint hospital.

We can go visit
her if you'd like.

What's the matter?

- I...

It just hit me all of a
sudden that she's so close.

- I get it, it's
a lot to take in.

I'll tell you what, why
don't you finish eating

And then I'll show you to your
room, you can get some rest,

And we can talk
more in the morning.

- Thank you for
everything, jackie.

- Are you kidding?

There's nothing I
wouldn't do for teresa.

Eat, it's good.

It'll make you feel good.

It makes me feel good.

Hey.

You okay?

- I'm just starting to realize
that to my grandmother,

I'm a complete stranger. And I
know she's really sick but...

What if my going in there
just gives her a shock so bad

That it'll kill her?

- Oh, honey,
sofia's a tough one.

I think she'll be
overjoyed to see you.

- No.

No, I can't do this.

- That's okay.

If you're not ready now, we can
come back another time, okay?

- Okay.
- Okay, let's go, come on.

It's okay.
- I'm sorry.

It's okay, we'll come
back another time.

- Where are we?

- It's your grandmother's house,

It's where your mom grew up.

- Aw... There's that picture
of you and my mom standing

On the lawn as teenagers.

- Mm-hmm.

- So who lives there now?

- Oh, sofia still owns it,
but I don't think anyone's

Staying there while
she's in the hospital.

Come on.

- Where are you going?

What? Uh...

- Ah.

- I don't think
we should be here.

- Don't worry,

Sofia used to keep a
spare key hidden out here.

- Are you crazy?

- Relax.

I think if you could inside
the house it would help you

Get to know your grandmother.

Then you might feel more
comfortable visiting her, okay?

Key's gotta be here somewhere.

- Oh.

Hey there, kitty.

Jackie.

- What?

Someone's been feeding the cat.

- It's fine, don't
worry so much.

- Jackie...

- You're right, we should leave.

Let's go!

- I'm trying to avoid breaking

And entering here,
can't you help?

- I'm not sure what
you want me to do.

- There's gotta be a way to
remotely access someone's

Recorded video footage.

I figured you feds must
know how to do that.

- Elena, you need to stay
away from that house.

- I know, that's why I'm
trying to do this remotely.

- Forget about that for a
minute, this is dangerous.

Anyone could be
waiting for you there.

- No one has a clue I'm here.

- Don't be naive, elena,
someone broke into your house.

It is possible, even likely,
they know where you are.

- Look, if you're telling
me that there's not a way

To remotely access those
cameras, then I'll just have

To go in there to
see for myself.

- No, that's not
what I'm saying.

- Don't you get it?

This is my mom's childhood home,

For all we know, she went there

That last day and that footage

Could tell us if anyone
one was with her.

- I hear what you're saying,
but there's an official way

These things should be done.

- You and your red tape.

- Elena...

- Come in.

- You doing okay?

- Yeah.

- That was a great day.

We ditched our last class
and went to the movies.

We snuck into dangerous minds
and ate our weight in candy.

- Can I ask you something?

- Shoot.

- I was thinking and, you
were right, it would be good

For me to get inside of
my grandmother's house.

I do want to try to
get to know who she is.

Is there any way you might
know of another way in?

- I don't know.

I didn't realize before
that there would be cameras.

- Yeah, but the cameras
could be a lot of help to us.

Maybe they picked up something
that could show me what happened

To my mom, like
someone following her.

- I do know of one other way
through a basement window...

At least that's what we
used to use back in the day.

- It isn't locked?

- The latch was
busted back then.

I used to help teresa sneak
through there whenever

We'd be out past curfew.

Could be worth a shot.

- Can I borrow your car?

- Ugh, keys are
hanging by the door,

Don't tell me when you leave,

I don't need to know
anything about it.

- Come on...

I can't believe you're here.
Thanks for bailing me out.

Aren't you going
to say something?

For god's sake, can you
just say something already?

- Do you need me to
tell you how reckless

That stunt was that you pulled?

- I wouldn't call that a stunt.

- How it cost you whatever
anonymity you had and revealed

Your blatant lack of concern
not only for yourself but also

For your friend
jacqueline and for me.

- I'm sorry.

- You're not my
only case, you know?

But you're the only one
I have to drop everything

For and get on a
flight to new jersey!

- I'm not your case at all.

I left the program, remember?

- I remember.

I made a promise to your mother,
to always look out for you.

So here I am

I'm driving you back to
jacqueline's for the night.

- What?

Is that hair... Is
that my mom's hair?

- Change of plans.

You're leaving with me.

We'll get the next flight home.

- But... I'm not leaving.

- There's been two obvious
threats made against you,

Three if you count that person
lurking around your front door.

You just got arrested
and you're staying

With a woman you barely know.

- My mom knew her,

That's enough for me.

- Your mother also knew killers!

I'm sorry.

I'm just worried about you.

I want you to come
back with me now

So we can arrange a fresh start.

- And I want to go back inside.

- Sorry, I tried to quit,
but I just get so nervous

With these things.

- The house is clear.

- Now will you tell
me what's going on?

- Show her the note.

- What note?

- It's confidential evidence.

I'd still feel better

If you'd come with me.

- Oh, no, no, no.

Elena's on her own
journey, she needs answers.

- I'm sorry for what happened
today and I apologize

For bringing you all
the way out here.

I...

I realized I haven't been
going about things the right

Way but I do need more time.

- What about tonight?

- We'll lock all the
doors and the windows

And won't let anybody in.

- Good plan.

Do you have a couch
I can crash on?

- Sure.

- You're gonna sleep here?

- You need a
toothbrush or anything?

- I have what I need.

You got me out here, now I have

To make sure you stay safe.

- I'll make us dinner.

- Sounds great.

- I'll help you.

- Okay, why don't
you go get settled?

- Jackie...

With everything that's going on,

I completely understand if you
don't want me staying here.

I'll leave any time.

- Absolutely not. I meant it

When I said I wanted to help.

Anything for teresa's daughter.

- When I went to my
grandmother's house,

I found something that
I want to show you.

Do you know who this is?

- That's lorenzo bruno, your...

- My father.

- He and my mom had a
confrontation the day she died.

I think he had something
to do with her death.

I think that he's wanted revenge

Ever since my mom
testified against him.

What do you know
about the trial?

- Oh, well, I was there.

Your mother was the star
witness for the prosecution.

The jury found her sympathetic
because she was emotional

And visibly pregnant.

Hey, you know what?

Technically, you were there too.

- Carter says that maybe lorenzo

Changed after all these years.

Do you think that could be true?

- Honestly?

I think you can change
the suit but not the man.

Ready?

- Freeze!

Stand up, slowly.

- Which is it,
freeze or stand up?

- I'm sorry.

I was sleeping pretty hard.

I thought someone broke in.

Let me have one of those.

- So, I was doing some research online
and came across lorenzo's company.

They're real estate developers

And it looks like
they're hiring.

So I thought I'd apply,

See if I can get an interview

And guess what?

- You did.

- Interview's tomorrow.

- Are you nuts?

- I thought you might
want to give me a ride.

- No! This is a terrible plan,

It invites trouble to find you!

Look, I'm doing what I
can to keep you safe,

But every minute you're
out of the program,

Your life is on the line!

- Look.

- Is that lorenzo?

- Yeah. He was at my
grandmother's house harassing

My mom the day she was killed.

You need evidence, right?

Something to prove it was him?

Well, all I'd have to do is
gain access to his office,

Take a peek at his schedule,

Maybe his location
history on his phone.

That way we could at least prove

Whether or not he was at the
hospital during that time.

Stop shaking your head.

I wish I could get
past this but I can't.

My mom was all I had.

After she died I found out that
everything I knew was a lie.

I need to find out the truth.

- Maybe we can work together,
but you have to be careful.

Don't take any
unnecessary risks.

Can you promise me that?
- Yes.

- That feeling in your gut...

Trust it.

And I'll give you a ride.

- Are you looking
for the receptionist?

- Yeah.

- She should be right back.

- Thanks.

- Here you go, have a good one.

Bye.

Do you want to order a
coffee while you wait?

- I shouldn't, I'm here
for a job interview

And I'm already nervous enough.

- Okay, let me guess...

Administrative assistant?

- No.

- Engineer?

- No.

- Uh...

Marketing department?

- Mailroom.

- Okay, mailroom's the best.

Seriously, there's a great
group of people down there.

And hey, we all got to get our
foot in the door somehow, hm?

I'm allie by the way.

- Elena.

How long have you
been working here?

- Just a few months.
Only part-time, though.

The rest of the time I take
classes over at the college.

- Oh, she's back.

Hey.

Good luck.

- Are you gonna wish me luck?

- I'm gonna remind
you of your promise.

Now remember to call me...

- If I feel threatened.

Got it.

- Alright.

Go on.

- Seventh floor...

I have mail for mr. Bruno.

- No one enters mr. Bruno's
office without an appointment.

Especially not someone
from the mail room.

Is that it?

- Here's that file.

Tell allison to
double-check the numbers.

- Oh, you idiot.

Get it together.

You've been quiet
the whole drive.

How'd it go?

- I saw him today...

Lorenzo.

I thought I was prepared
but it was just so sudden

And he was just...

There and...

I probably drew too much
attention to myself staring

At him like an idiot.

- No.

Probably feels worse than

It was because you've been

Playing it over in your head.

Did he recognize you?
- No.

No, at least there's that.

- But his assistant is going to
be a major road block for us,

She's like a guard dog.

- Then you'll have to get into
his office when she's not there.

You know, you don't have
to do this right now?

Especially not after
the day you've had.

- I'm okay.

- Hi!

I...

Do you remember me from work?

- Of course, gosh, hey!

Congrats on getting the job.

- Thanks.

Do you work here too?

- Yeah, I intern here part time

For school credit. And
some day, I'll be a nurse.

- That's great.

- Are you, um, visiting someone?

- Yeah, kind of.

My grandmother is sick but
I've never actually met her

But I really want
to go and visit her.

I'm just afraid that the
shock might be too much.

- Hm.

You want some friendly advice?

- Yeah, please.

- Go see her.

People are stronger
than you think.

Look, I mean, if you're
not feeling ready for it,

I can check in on
your grandmother

The next time I come in.

I can text you and let
you know how she's doing.

- You would do that?

- Sure, it's no problem.

Give me your phone.

Alright, there.

You have my number
and now I have yours.

I can't thank you
enough for this.

- Any time.

I'll see you at work, okay?
- Yeah.

Don't start.

- What the...

Let me.

- What is that?

"don't make the same
mistake your mom made."

- I saw him, I saw him!

I was taking the trash
and... I... I saw the bastard

That threw it and I chased him
down the street but he jumped

The fence and I lost him!

- Well, did you see his face?

- No, he had a hoodie pulled up.

What's that?

- "you're a smash at
your new job but that

Disguise isn't fooling anyone."

- Time to move.
We need to leave.

- Leave, what? No,
what about jackie?

- Don't worry about me.

- Gut check, you made a promise.

- Jackie, I really...

- No, the most important thing

Is your safety, just
go, I'll be fine.

- Grab what you need for work
tomorrow, we'll come back for

The rest of your stuff later.

- Go.

- Things are getting worse.

That brick is the last straw.

We'll get rooms at this motel for
now but we don't have a lot of time.

I need to identify this
threat and take it out.

- Don't you think if this
person wanted to kill me,

They would have done it already?

- That the theory you're

Willing to stake your life on?

- Well, I'm...
- Psychopaths are like cats,

Some like to play with their
prey before they make their kill.

- Now it's a psychopath?

- I'm no profiler, but
just look at the facts.

Those little notes?
Pure egocentrism,

Aggressive arrogance,
impulsivity...

- It's obviously lorenzo.

- We don't know that for sure!

- I just...

I just hate that I have
to leave jackie like that.

- Jackie will be fine,
you're the one they're after.

With you out of the house,

Jackie won't be
in danger anymore.

Maybe this will finally
convince you not

To let your guard
down with new people.

- Let my guard down?

- Giving your number
to strangers like

That girl at the hospital?

- She wasn't a stranger,
I met her at work.

- You didn't think to mention
that coincidence before?

A girl from lorenzo's office

Just happened to be at the
hospital the same time as you?

- You really think they
could both be involved?

- Yes!

In order for me to keep you
safe, I need you to not tell

Anyone, not jackie, not that
girl from work, where you'll be

Staying, do you understand that?

- Yes.

- I need you to cut off contact
with both of them, completely.

Only until we figure
out who's behind this.

Deal?

- Fine.

- Now come on, let's
go get some rooms.

7:40!

Okay...

Calendar...

Come on.

Yes!

4:15 train to new
jersey, gotcha.

- And if you get in a
bind, you can call me.

- Don't worry, I can handle it.

- Just doing my rounds.

- You're new here, aren't you?

- Uh...

This elena, she started
in the mailroom last week.

- I try to make a point
of meeting all new hires,

I like to know who I
have working for me.

- How nice.

- I usually ask my assistant

To schedule new employees

For a meet-and-great with me.

I apologize that we have seemed

To have overlooked that,

But we'll correct that now.

Portia, will you block out some

Time this week for me

To meet with elena, here.

- You can do Thursday.
- Thursday it is.

See you then.

- See you.

- Hey, what's up? I
texted you earlier.

- Sorry, I've been really busy.

- Are you okay?

- Yeah, I just wasn't
expecting that.

- I should've warned you
about the meet-and-great.

Many have tried but I'm afraid
there's no getting out of it.

Is that why you were in there?

- Me? Uh... No, I'm...

I'm helping lorenzo
with his side project.

I could really use
the extra cash.

- What is it?

- I can't really talk about it,

He made me sign an nda

Oh.

Hey!

That's a really pretty scarf.

It reminds me of one
my mom used to have.

- It's nice, isn't it?

I actually just picked it up.

You can borrow it
sometime if you'd like.

- Thanks.

- Going down?

- No, I better finish up here.

- See you later.

- You have your meeting
with lorenzo today, right?

- Unfortunately.

- No, this is good.

What you found in his schedule

Proves that he was trying

To cover up the fact

That he was in town

When your mom was killed.

- Yeah, but how am I just

Supposed to ask him about that?

- You can't, not outright,
but having a one-on-one

Conversation is a good start.

See if you can get him
to talk about allie.

- Allie?

- Yeah, you said they had

A private meeting.

- Yeah, one she claimed to have

Signed an nda for.

- See if he'll say
anything else about it.

- Find out what their
relationship is.

- Okay.

- Come in!

Come on in. Close
the door, please.

Have a seat, elena.

Do you want something to drink?

- I'm fine.

Thank you. For
doing this, I mean.

- It's important to me that my

Employees feel
like they know me.

That they can come to me
at any time for any reason.

- People seem to
enjoy working for you.

Like allie, for example.

I mean, I'm guessing she's been
working for you for a while

If you trust her enough with
an important side project.

- Loyalty.

You can't buy that.

Well, actually, you can.

So, never mind.

What about you,
where'd you grow up?

- Uh... I grew up in the
midwest, but most of my family

Lives on the east coast,
that's why I moved out here.

- Your parents?

- My mother passed away
and I never knew my father.

- You're like me.

My mother died when I was young,

My father was never
in the picture.

It's hard in life
without having someone

To guide you to the right path.

- You seem to have done
pretty well for yourself.

- Yeah, I'm doing well now.

But it's been a long road
to get here, a lot of bumps,

Lot of dead ends.

- How'd you turn it around?

- First, I had to figure out
who I was, but once I did that,

I realized that I was
good at something:

Business.

If I could put that to work
for me in the right way,

I knew that I could
be successful.

- You seem to have
it all figured out.

- Not quite.

What about you, elena?

I'm getting the sense
that you don't like

Talking about yourself.

- I'm not that interesting.

- What is it you want?

What are you doing here?

Why work at l.B. Corp?

- It's a great company
with lots of opportunities.

- I know that,

But what do you want?

- What do I want from you?

- Be honest.

- You really want
to know about me?

- My name is elena russo.

My mother was teresa russo,
she was murdered the day that

She came to visit my grandmother

After hiding from
you for 21 years.

You are my father and
I think you killed her.

- Elena!

- You can't run in here!

- Elena, stop!

Elena!

Elena!

- Come on... Answer!

Allie!

- Freeze, drop your weapon!

Are you alright?

- I'm okay.

What just happened?

- We got her.

Can you stand?

- Come on.

Come on.

Damn it!

- Is that blood?

- Uh, huh.

- Oh god, where is she?

- She's gone.

- That's her phone.

- It's evidence now.

Come on, let's get
you some place safe.

Stay close.

- I can't believe you
were right about her.

- You're in shock,
you should rest.

- Do you think she's
acting for lorenzo?

- We can't say until there's
a thorough investigation.

We need to get her in custody.

Until that's done, I'm afraid

You'll have to keep laying low.

- I...

That might be tough after
what happened today at work.

- What happened?

- You know how I was
meeting with lorenzo?

Well, he kept asking me
questions, prying and eventually

I just snapped and I
told him everything.

- What's everything?

- I told him who I am and
that I think he killed my mom.

- Holy...

- I know.

I know I shouldn't have let my
emotions get the better of me

But you should have seen him.

He paints himself out to be
some nice guy then he acts

Like he wants to help everyone
but I know he's a killer and...

She's probably working for him.

And I was their special project.

- We don't have
proof of that yet.

- You have allie's phone,

There's probably
something on there.

- Yes, you're right.

I'll have to get to the lab
for processing but it'll take

Time, which we don't have.

- I'm so sorry.

I screwed everything up today.

- No, you did the opposite, you
brought us a break in the case.

We have a lot for
our team to go on.

- What if we turn the
tables on lorenzo?

- What do you mean?

- Well...

What if we asked him
for another meeting?

One we could record.

- It could work.

We could play the allie's
phone card, make it sound like

We found something on it,
something incriminating to him.

- We'll do it at jackie's
place, I'll set it up.

- Wait.

If we do this, we have to think

It through, every detail.

The last thing I want to do is
put you in even more danger,

Especially with allie
still on the loose.

- We have to do this,
it's our only shot.

Look, you saved my life today.

I won't be reckless.

- Good.

- So is that a yes?

- Ready?

- I'm nervous.

- Oh...

Hey, is that thing live?

- Yeah.

- Wow, big brother
in my own house.

- I really appreciate
you doing this, jackie.

- For you and teresa?

Anything.

- Is that clock right?
Because he was supposed

To be here at seven o'clock.
What if he's not coming?

- There are a million
reasons why he could be late.

Here, drink this.

Go on,

Bottoms up.

- Easy on the wine.

Do you think he's late

Because of traffic?

Definitely,

It's always traffic.

There's construction,

Have you been on the turnpike?

- Carter.

I don't know,

Have you taken me there yet?

I have.

Is traffic
bad in new jersey?

- What's that?

Construction,
people, cars.

Everyone's got
two cars now, why?

Traffic after seven.

- Have you id'd the victim?

Is he dead?

I'll meet you there.

- What's up?

- He's not coming.

I was stupid to think
that this could work.

- You're not stupid.

You can't control chaos and
lorenzo's nothing but chaos.

- Um, no.

I wouldn't describe him as that.

He's more calculated.

- Trust me.

- How do you know so much
about lorenzo anyway?

- I used to know him quite well,

Better than anyone.

And he knew me too,

Like, really knew me.

What we had was special.

Until teresa had to
come and ruin it!

- What... What are you doing?

- You wanted answers, right?

I mean, that's why we're here.

Ooh, are you feeling
a little foggy?

- Mm-hmm.

- 'cause I gave you my special
vintage, I put a little

Something extra in it for you.

Lorenzo had an annoying
soft spot for teresa,

But not even she could
compete with what we had.

I guess that's why she had
to go get herself knocked up.

Listen to me!

This is important!

I was loyal to him,
even after what she did!

I gave him everything,
even a daughter of our own!

- A daughter?

- I wanted him to know how much
I loved him but he was always

Fixated on what
he couldn't have:

Teresa and you.

He became obsessed.

He started visiting sofia
with the hope that the bitch

Would come and visit one day.

To be fair, she finally did.

Wake up!

- You and my mom
weren't friends?

- Oh, we were at a certain
point, but after the accident,

I mean, things could
never be the same.

We both moved on.

We just moved on
with the same guy.

- Where's your daughter now?

- Oh, you met her.

My beautiful, allie.

Oh, no, no, no.

I can't let you call carter.

I'll take care of him next.

The same way I dealt
with lorenzo and teresa.

- You killed my mom?

- She got what
was coming to her.

Like mother, like daughter.

- Seems like a
lover's spat to me.

- How do you figure?

- Final text on his phone

Says it all.

- Did you run a
trace on the number?

- Unregistered,
it's a burner phone,

But there is something else.

Excuse me.

Vape pen, we found this
under the passenger seat,

Must have fallen
between the cracks.

We swabbed it for dna,

The lab's working on it now.

- Call me with the result,

Keep me posted on
the victim's status.

- Will do.

- Why do all this?

- Teresa put lorenzo
away for years.

That was years away
from my daughter's life!

Why did he think
that barista job

Would make up for everything...

- You and your mother
ruined our lives!

What was that?

Oh!

It's your little
rent-a-cop friend,

Looks like he's on his way back.

Do you want me to respond?

- Elena, are you alright?

- Uh-huh.

Is she...

- She's dead.

- No...

Mom...

- Allison armstrong, you have
the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can
and will be used against

You in a court of law.

You alright?

- Yeah.

Any news about my dad?

- Looks like he's
gonna pull through.

- Well, I have to head
out, new case assignment.

- They'll be lucky to have you.

- I wish you'd consider
joining the program but...

You'll keep in touch?
Text me, let me know

How you're doing.

- I will, I promise.

- Oh, and elena, if you
ever need anything...

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

- Do you mind if I join you?

Alright, thanks.

I want to say I'm sorry, for
everything that's happened,

Especially with allie.

I knew jackie had been feeding
her lies for years but I didn't

Realize how bad
things had gotten.

- Maybe, serving time will do

Her some good like
it did for you.

It changed your life.

- I hope so.

- What is it?

- You look so much like teresa.

- I saw a video of you
harassing her at sofia's

House and that was the
last day she was alive.

- I went there to
feed sofia's cat.

I've been taking care
of her ever since sofia

Went into the hospital.

I never expected to
see teresa there.

I just wanted to
talk to her, but...

I know it's my fault
because of who I was

And how I treated
teresa back then.

I didn't deserve
anything from her.

I don't deserve anything
from you either.

- Is this a dream?

- It's all real.

I'm right here, grandma.

- Pretty girl, tell
me... Tell me everything.

- Well, my name is elena.

Elena sofia, actually.

I was born October 14, 2001.

Mom and I lived in cincinnati,

It was always just
the two of us.

And she really was the best.
