Original subtitles

You boys pay attention in class.

Straight home after school, okay?

- And don't forget to... - Do your homework.

Okay, boys, hold up a second. You forgot your lunch money.

Here.

Ben?

I want change this time, young man.

Not like the last few days, okay?

Yes, sir.

Ben, look.

It's Mom.

Promise you won't buy drugs, Mama?

I promise.

You get out of here. Now!

I love you, Benny.

She's not your mother anymore...

Anymore, anymore...

She's dangerous.

Look at me.

Hey.

Look at me.

You're gonna bleed to death if that isn't properly closed soon.

Now, I can slow the bleeding.

I just need to know where they took Ruby.

I told you.

I don't know.

You did.

You told me. But, see,

I saw you take her from Social Services.

Maybe I can help you remember.

Patrol spotted a stolen car in that lot

this morning and pulled the tapes.

Winslow ditched it before he grabbed Walker.

He must have followed Ben from work.

Walker's car hasn't been recovered. His phone is dead.

There hasn't been any communication since last night.

What the hell is Winslow waiting for?

Planning something.

Any luck tracing his last call?

He used a SIM card that rerouted it through multiple VPNs.

Impossible to get a location.

We set it up to record and trace the next one.

Good. Let's hope he gets careless.

He's holding Walker in a camper. They could be anywhere at this point.

You know, we should move.

Winslow's daughter from protective custody.

She's who he's after.

Ruby'll be a lot safer here.

Do it. And let's talk to her.

He's been communicating with her from prison.

Maybe she knows something.

That's Walker's wife.

Do you want me to go talk to Michelle?

No, I got this.

Use my office.

Hey.

Clete.

What's this shit all about?

Come on, man.

It's not gonna matter after today anyway.

Who's paying you to do all this violence?

Just tell me one thing.

Why K-town?

You don't even know, do you?

You just get paid to take orders.

Like a good little soldier.

They're just using you so they don't have

to get their hands dirty, don't you see that?

Shut up.

You're just shit on the bottom of their shoes.

I mean, that lawyer they sent you was a joke.

And where were they when DCFS

came to put Ruby in foster care?

I told you

to shut up.

All right.

Sorry.

You don't have to do this, Clete.

Let me help you.

Yeah?

This...

Is all the help I need.

Winslow was waiting inside the car. Ben never saw him.

He was at the market buying you flowers.

They were for his mom.

She was granted parole last week

after six years in prison.

And he felt bad about the way they left it, so

he was gonna stop by and make it right.

Level with me, Ben.

What's going on?

Winslow wants to trade Ben for his daughter.

Okay.

So what's the plan?

Well, we haven't heard from him since last night.

- So you don't even know if Ben is alive. - He's alive.

Winslow needs him alive.

Listen, Michelle, we have the whole department

out there looking for him, the best people we have.

Winslow's a military guy.

He's well trained. He doesn't make mistakes.

So until we get a new lead, we have to wait around for his next call.

You're telling me everything?

- Ben's hurt. - No.

Winslow stabbed him.

I'm sorry.

You were supposed to have his back.

You knew that Winslow was out there,

and when you became partners, you came into my living room

and you sat down and you looked me in the eye,

and you promised me that you would keep him safe!

- You said that to me! - I'll get him back, I promise.

You don't know that.

You can't say that.

Let's go for a walk, sweetie.

She's just scared.

She's not wrong, Syd.

We took Winslow's daughter.

I should've known he might have been watching.

I let my guard down.

Okay, I'm gonna stop this little pity party shit right now.

There is one person to blame.

Winslow.

Get your mind right.

We're gonna bring Walker back to his family.

That wasn't fair.

I need to apologize.

No, don't worry about it.

He knows how you feel. I mean, we all do.

My husband wasn't supposed to be a cop.

He was gonna follow after his dad's footsteps.

Roy was a contractor.

He could build anything. Such a sweet man.

He died way too young.

He said the first time he saw Ben swing a hammer,

he knew he was a natural... at something,

just not at construction.

He's also a terrible dancer.

But you know what?

He's a hell of a cop.

One of the best I know.

His mom's addiction pushed him into it.

He hated what the drugs did to her.

He wanted to right the wrongs in the world.

He has.

Michelle.

Ben's a survivor.

You know that, right?

If there's a way out,

he's gonna find it.

And if he doesn't, we'll find him.

Okay.

Ruby, did you and your dad used to go camping?

Did you sleep in a tent or a camper?

We went in my friend Ava's camper a lot.

With Daddy's friend Francis.

Was Ava your age?

Did you go to school together?

- No. - Do you remember her last name?

It was a long time ago.

I was only four.

Did you and your dad have a favorite place you guys liked to camp?

There was this one place with lots of brown grass and hills.

It was really dusty.

But there was this one dead tree monster

by the river.

It was pretty scary. But,

yeah, guess it was fine.

I'm sure it was.

Was it far away?

Not too far. Like...

Two PAW Patrols.

That is such a beautiful picture.

Wow. Can you tell us about it?

This is Mommy.

She got hurt in a car crash.

She's in heaven now.

This is me and Daddy.

He says we have a black cloud over us.

You've been busy while I've been gone.

Bleeding slowed a bit.

You feeling dizzy yet? Confused?

No.

You're stronger than I thought.

But it's coming though.

You'll know you're close to the end

when you start hallucinating.

Here.

Copy that. Thanks.

Michelle's set.

Chief's staff set up a room for the Walker family downstairs.

Thanks.

Nobody wants to talk about it,

but we got to plan for the worst.

Don't think like that, Syd.

I'm just trying to take my heart out of it.

Yeah. Yeah, I get that.

You saw what I saw.

That knife went in deep, and we haven't heard from Winslow.

I mean, when we do,

we got to make sure that Walker's alive, 'cause...

That plan changes if he's not.

We got to stay ready.

Let's go.

This is Lieutenant Calloway.

Listen to me very carefully.

I want a car with a female driver,

a hundred K in cash and my daughter.

You'll arrange safe passage for us into Mexico

at the Otay border, we're crossing tonight.

I'll call back with further instructions later.

Okay. That's all doable,

but I need something from you.

This is not a negotiation.

Sure it is. I have something you want,

you have something I want.

Your friend is fine.

You'll have to take my word for it.

There was probably a time where that actually meant something.

I need proof of life.

Not gonna happen.

You're not gonna see your daughter

unless I know Walker's alive.

You want proof of life?

There it is!

Listen to me, you piece of shit!

- I'm gonna hunt you down, and I'm gonna kill you. - Hey, stop.

- You hear me? I'm gonna kill you! - Baines... Stop.

Why did you set him off like that?

- I needed to know Ben was alive. - Why?

What difference does it make?

We still have to find him and bring this punk-ass in.

Baines, Calloway's right. Calm down.

You want me to calm down? Did you see what he did?

If Ben doesn't make it, it's on you.

You're out of line, Detective.

And now you're pulling that rank shit on me?

- Maybe you should sit this one out. - My partner's out there dying,

- and you think you're gonna bench me on this? - That's it. You're done.

Go home. Get out!

Now...

While you still have your gun and badge.

No, no, no, no, stop it. Stop.

Let it go.

Hell y'all looking at?

Come on.

Make a wish, Benny.

Happy birthday, kid.

- He's a drug dealer. - Tom loves me.

He loves this family.

What are you waiting for? Open it.

I don't want to.

Things are gonna be different this time,

I promise.

You said he was never coming back.

The money your dad left us is gone.

We need him.

- You seen Baines? - I got him.

He could use some Joseph Vaughn wisdom right about now.

Already on it.

All right.

- Syd? - She's worried about you.

You must have stepped in it pretty deep

for her to be calling around looking for you.

- Yeah, well, I don' feeling helpless. - I get it.

I never had a chance to...

Save my partner.

Still think about what I could have done, what I

should have done.

You don't want to carry that around the rest of your life.

It gets real... heavy.

Your partner needs you.

Swallow your pride

and go make things right with Calloway.

I'll put that on your tab.

Next time I see you sitting here,

it better be with Walker.

LT, you got a minute?

I'm a little short on minutes.

But these guys can use an extra set of eyes.

Why don't you tag in?

I got some calls to make.

Boss?

I'm sorry.

Sorry about what?

I don't know what you're talking about.

You got to stop watching Training Day.

- What did I miss? - Not much.

No further communication with Winslow.

We're just going over the footage,

looking for something that might lead to their location.

Yeah, we got more from the inside.

It's definitely a camper from the mid-'80s.

Hey, check that out.

What's that?

- It's a skylight. - Not that, Captain Obvious. This.

Is that snow?

Remember when Ruby said that

they used to camp in a place that was, like,

- dry and brown? - Right.

She said that it was two PAW Patrols away.

That's, like, maximum 45 minutes away from the city.

Then it's definitely not snow.

There are two active brush fires up north in LA County.

What if it's ash?

These computer models show the ash fields

for the two active brush fires in LA County.

And the rain yesterday stopped south of there.

So if we're right and that is ash on the skylight,

our camper's probably parked in one of these places.

Yeah. This is the Acton fire, right here.

And the terrain fits the description

of where Ruby said her and her dad used to go camping.

So you're thinking he might go back to a place he's been before.

Yeah, we've got air support searching both areas.

But no luck finding an '80s camper registered to a Francis.

Francis and his daughter Ava apparently

used to go camping with Ruby and Winslow.

Baines?

Francis Redmann.

He saved Winslow's life over in Iraq.

Francis... Redmann.

Looks like there's only a Nissan Murano registered to him.

Run the address for registered vehicles.

But his wife Barbara

has a 1985 motor home registered to her.

That's our camper. It has to be.

And it was reported stolen yesterday.

All right, me and McKenna will go talk to Redmann.

Right. I'll do a background check,

see who we're dealing with.

- I'm gonna call you guys in the car. - All right.

Keep me posted.

Hey, Faith, baby.

No. No news.

I'm sorry.

Listen, I need you to do me a favor.

I'm gonna send you some contact information.

It's for a Gloria Walker.

It's Ben's mom.

Throw the gun up. Put the cuffs on.

Come get it, asshole.

See, that's a lose-lose.

You kill me,

you die in the hole.

I kill you,

you die in the hole.

My way,

maybe you see your family again.

Don't be stupid.

I respect your spirit.

I do.

Well, this is where it was.

My wife heard a noise outside, woke me up.

By the time I got to the window,

the RV was halfway down the block.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised it was Clete

with all the stuff about the escape on the news.

When was the last time you two saw each other?

It's been over a year ago.

We, had a falling-out after his wife died.

He started drinking a lot. He got real...

Real tough to be around.

I guess everyone's got their breaking point.

Did you have a favorite spot that you guys

used to take your daughters camping?

Favorite spot? I mean, we'd bounce around a lot.

Different places.

Anywhere near Acton or Castaic?

No, we'd stay in the area.

There wasn't one particular spot.

Is there anywhere that you can think of

that Clete may go to just lay low?

- You're talking about an elite military mind here. - Well,

we appreciate your time.

If you can think of anything else, please give us a call.

And, certainly, if he contacts you, let us know.

- Sure. - Thanks.

Detectives?

He's gonna come for Ruby.

And when he does, he's gonna leave a body count behind.

I know he's

done some horrible things, but there's a good man in there.

I might be able to get him to stand down.

- I appreciate it. Thanks. - Anything new?

Air support covered 30% of the ash fields so far.

They got nothing.

I have fire department helos keeping an eye out, as well.

This will slow down once it gets dark.

They might not finish until morning.

- He may not make it till then. - It's not gonna get to that.

We're not gonna let it get to that.

Syd and McKenna are on their way back with Redmann.

He thinks he might be able to

talk Winslow down.

What's Walker's mom doing here?

I asked Faith to bring her.

I thought she should know about Ben.

Absolutely.

If I don't make it, they're never gonna stop looking for you.

You're a father.

You know what that love is.

Please, do not let my children grow up without a father.

She's a lovely lady.

She wasn't always.

She just got out on parole.

How are you doing?

Holding up.

You know how much I love you, right?

You know, when stuff like this happens, it just

just makes me realize how much.

I love you too.

Look, Michelle's pretty broken up.

And she could use a friend.

We set up a room downstairs for the family.

I can have an officer escort you down there. You okay with that?

- Okay. - Yeah.

Sacha?

Can you take her downstairs please?

Hey.

You bring your partner home.

You hear me?

So, you don't

really know how it's gonna turn out?

That's why I called you.

He's your son.

And you should be with his family.

I don't think he'd want that.

I burned some bridges.

Well,

he was on his way to apologize to you when he got taken.

You gonna be okay?

Yes, thank you.

I've never actually met the babies, or Michelle.

Well,

let me properly introduce you.

Before we do anything, I need to see my daughter.

She's here.

But first, there's someone that wants to talk to you.

Hey, man. How you doing?

I've been better.

Whatever they got you doing, Frank, it ain't gonna work.

What, they give you a script? Tell you what to say?

I told them to bring me here.

I told them about that hero I pulled off the roof in Iraq.

I told them about the guy who saved the lives of three of his men

after he got his leg blown off.

I told them about the dad I knew and the friend I loved.

I'm begging you, man. Stop the madness.

This isn't who you are.

- No, man, it's too late. - No, it's not too late.

It's not.

I'm sorry.

Take care of Ruby if this goes south.

I'm gonna get the little girl.

I need to see Detective Walker.

Hey, beautiful. How's my little girl?

Where are you, Daddy?

I'm gonna see you real soon.

We're gonna go on an adventure. Okay?

All right, say goodbye.

I'll see you soon, pumpkin.

The parking lot of the public zoo at 9:00 p.m.

I don't want to see anyone

except the car, the female driver,

my daughter and the money.

I'll call with Walker's location

once we cross the border.

No games.

I'll be with your daughter.

Don't try and be a hero, sweetheart.

It won't end well.

Save the "sweetheart" shit for your little girl.

I'll see you at 9:00.

I'm starting to feel it.

The dizziness...

Confusion.

There's no way I'm gonna survive your drive to the border.

No.

You won't.

You can let me go when you leave.

We're in the middle of nowhere.

I can't contact anyone.

I can't take that chance.

But you don't have to suffer.

It's gonna be a long night. All hands on deck.

Call your wives, husbands, significant others.

We'll tac-up in the SWAT garage in 20.

Move.

You guys prep Ruby.

I'll text you when we're ready downstairs.

- Syd... - Don't even say it.

He's not gonna make it over the border.

- Be careful. - Always.

What?

Just... Something just doesn't feel right.

It's too easy.

Winslow

he's all about strategy.

Nothing is ever what it seems.

Just expect the unexpected.

Hey, promise you won't do anything crazy.

You know I can't do that.

The only reason that you're standing here right now

is 'cause your mother vouched for you.

So you're gonna do that bump?

Attaboy.

Like mother, like son.

We're basically family, right?

We're good.

Stay down!

Hands behind your back!

Down!

I'm sorry, Benny!

- I'm so sorry! - Great job, kid.

You just earned yourself a detective shield.

I just put my mom in prison.

Listen up!

Detective Burnett's undercover car is being fitted

for tracking and listening devices.

Air support will be tracking the car

all the way to the border if necessary.

We'll have eyes and ears on Syd and the suspect at all times.

There will also be six nondescript vehicles

following at a safe distance.

So, first, we're gonna go to the zoo.

Then we're gonna pick up your dad.

And then me, you and your dad,

we're gonna take a little drive.

Now, let's assume that Winslow has Walker's radio.

Once we hit the road,

the only communications are on the point-to-points,

For our search teams,

find Walker before the subject vehicle reaches the border,

snipers will deploy along the route

and try to safely take Winslow out.

Sweetheart...

It's really, really important

that you do everything that Syd tells you.

Any questions?

We got to go. Let's go, let's go.

Get down! Let's go.

Take her down the back stairway to the safe room

- and call for help. - Don't let her out of your sight.

I won't. I got her.

Shit, Winslow.

Maroon van! North edge of the lot!

You three with me. We flank left!

Heads on a swivel.

Maintain cover. Assume there are other shooters out there.

You two go right.

Ready? Move!

Where is my daughter?

I know she's here and I want her now.

What the hell? Pull the plug!

That derringer on the ankle's the shit.

I just killed the only person that knows where Walker is.

The fire department helo's headed to the fires,

thinks they might have spotted our camper

just north of the Santa Clara River.

We got to go.

We got to go. Let's go! Come on!

Baines?

Let's go.

Hello, Benny.

Dad?

Baines, you okay?

Walker, it's Syd and McKenna.

No! No! No!

- No! - It's me. It's me. It's Baines!

I got you, man.

I got you. Where are the medics?

He's hypotensive and bradycardic. Fading fast.

- So is he gonna make it? - He's lost a lot of blood.

If we don't get him some blood right now, he's gonna code.

- You know your partner's blood type? - O negative.

- We don't have O negative on the ambulance. - I'm O negative.

Looks like you're taking a ride.

You sure you wanna do this?

Yeah, I'm sure.

You okay?

Yeah.

I'm good.

Let's, let's get out of here.

Usually, my digestive system is a well-oiled machine.

But those painkillers got me all backed up.

So that's what all that farting was the last two nights?

Farting? What are you talking about?

Look, man, I appreciate the bedside visual,

but you were lighting that room up. I mean, it was nasty.

Okay, enough about my bowel habits.

You notice any difference?

You got two pints of the Baines blood in you, son.

Yeah, I feel, older, crankier, my ass hurts.

All right, guys, we got to go.

Chief and the mayor are waiting for us downstairs.

Can't have a hero press conference without the heroes.

Listen, Walker,

if you're not feeling up to this, we don't have to do it.

No, I'm... I'm good. It's... it's...

Thank you.

All of you.

No thank-you necessary.

We're family.

Listen, if they come for one of us

they come for all of us.

Y'all not gonna make me cry, okay?

Now, enough of this Brady Bunch moment.

Let's get out of here.

I can't take it.

Got some hardware to collect.
