Previously onThe Equalizer...

Eight years ago,

I shot a man
in front of his children.

That's not something
you just get over.

DELILAH:
I think she's having a panic
attack. What should I do?

Just hold on.
Harry, what's happening?

GUARD:
Hey! Who's there?

How's Mel doing?
HARRY:
I don't think she's gonna want

to return to the team
anytime soon.

How's Robyn feel about that?

From now on, the only person

I can trust to be there

is myself.

♪ Unforgettable

♪ That's what you are

♪ Unforgettable

♪ Though near or far...

♪

(song distorting)

(sobbing)

♪

Oh, yes.

Ooh, Auntie.

Morning.

Egg white frittata's
on the stove,

orange juice in the fridge.

What is that,
your ginger scones?

My famous ginger scones.
Mmm.

But they are for the Police
and Community Alliance.

I'm going with
my friend Evelyn.

That's starting up again?

Yep, they've got
a new outreach program.

Nothing says "outreach"

like the smell of fresh,
homemade pastries.

You're welcome.
Mmm, thank you.

Yeah, PCA's a good program.

Builds bridges in the community.

And Lord knows,
we need those bridges

more than ever these days.

(sighs)

Good morning, fam.

(Delilah giggles)
Okay. Somebody's in a good mood.

Yeah, any particular reason

you're feeling so happy?

Is that you and Cam?
Are y'all holding hands?
Yeah. Yeah.

And is that a heart emoji?
Yeah.

(high-pitched squeal)
(laughs)

We're IG official. Ah!

Instagram official?

That means
they're dating, Robyn.

(laughs):
I know what it means, Auntie.

But y'all are-- you're dating?

Yes, Mom. Okay, and understand,

I remember everything
that you've taught me.

Okay, I'm gonna go.
I got to call, like, everyone.

Bye.

Our baby's growing up.

(door opens)
Auntie, do you know

Cam's date of birth,
by any chance?

(door shuts)

You are not gonna run
a background check

on that young man.
I wasn't.

Robyn.
I was gonna have Harry do it.

Ooh, Lord...
(laughs)

Okay, I'll leave him alone.
(phone buzzes)

That's my baby.
He don't understand...

Well, he's lucky I got to go.

Love you.
Oh, wait, wait.

Let-let me just wrap it up.

No, you wrapped it
in love already.

Let me just take it
with me, Auntie.

Love you.
Mmm. Love you.

ROBYN:
"Open mic night"?

"Sing. Speak. Shine."

Every Thursday.

Yeah, I'm trying
something new.

Supporting up-and-coming artists

and, you know,
bringing in new business.

Yeah, sounds like a win-win.
Yeah.

(door opens)

(door closes)

I, uh, guess they're for you.

SANDRA:
Lily asked me

to watch her daughter Hanna
last night.

And I knew
something was wrong

when she never came
to pick her up.

Was that unusual? Lily asking
you to watch her daughter?

Lily's my best friend.

Being a social worker,

she gets calls at all hours,
so we do this a lot.

But the fact that she hasn't
called is really troubling.

Her phone's going
straight to voicemail.

I've been checking hospitals
and every friend I can think of.

No sign of her.

You want more lemonade, Hanna?

How about some fries?

No, thank you. My mama
likes to take me to lunch.

I'm sure she'll be here soon.

Yeah.

Well, what about
the police?

Have you filed
a missing persons report?

Not yet.

Lily's in a nasty

custody battle with her ex.

And he's just the kind of jerk

who'd use this
against her in court.

I couldn't
live with that.

Hanna keeps asking
when her mommy's coming back.

I'm trying
to be strong, but...

Look, I know
it's hard,

but I agree with you, if she
hasn't reached out to you,

then something's
wrong.

I mean, I don't know what to do.

I have no one else
to turn to.

You're a good friend.

And you did the right
thing coming to me.

I'll do everything in my power
to make sure Lily gets home.

Anything on Lily's phone?
HARRY: Yeah, I just
tracked it, actually,

to a place called
Bright Start Transitional Home.

I know that place. It's
a halfway house for ex-cons.

Yeah, exactly.
I tried calling it,

but I was having a hard time
getting through.

What about her ex?
Well, that's
the first place I looked.

Peter Evans. He hauled her in

for five emergency
custody hearings

in the last year.
With a smile that wide,

you can't trust a guy like that.

But still, he'd have to be
pretty dumb to kidnap his ex.

Or pay someone
to do it.

I mean, he'd be
the prime suspect.

Yeah, no, agreed.
Plus, his, uh,

credit card
and phone records show

that he was in Florida
the last four months,

including last night.

Well, what else have you got?

I mean, a person like Lily
doesn't just vanish.

(keys clicking)

Well,
this is interesting.

An incident report was filed
between Lily

and a felon named
Jesse Cervantes.

"Resident exhibited
threatening behavior,

profanity, intimidation."

And check this out:

he's housed at the same place
that I tracked the phone to,

Bright Start Transitional Home.

Looks like
that's where we start.

All right.

Where you going?
Well, you said, "we."

Come on, Rob,
with Mel out for now,

I'm your huckleberry.

Let's rock and roll.
Right on.

(siren wailing in distance)

It's not easy,
but you'll get it.

It takes time and reps.

Nah, Dad. My handles suck.

Especially my left.

Don't give up. Look,

you and Stefon move out here
in two weeks.

You and I will put in some time,

I'll have you driving the lane
like my man Brunson.

Okay, what's that face?

Nothing.

Nothing, really?

Lately, when I bring up

you two moving out here,
you go quiet on me.

A month ago, you couldn't wait.
What changed?

I don't know, Dad. I've got
things up here, you know?

Trying to make JV...

Yo, NYPD Blue.

Got a possible location
on a POI.

Units en route.
Give me a sec.

Pick this up later, Ky, okay?

In the meantime,
keep practicing.

Okay.

So, who we looking at?

Sicarionamed Palma Alamilla,

as known as La Maldad.

"The Evil One," huh?
Alamilla's left a trail

of bodies from Sinaloa to L.A.

Better take her down before
that list gets any longer.

Look, uh, I heard part of
your conversation with your son.

I get it. This job
can be hard on families.

I'll work it out.
I've done it before.

This ain't eight hours
in a detective's sedan, Blue.

We're 24/7 out there.
Raising kids in this job,

it's harder than it looks.

HARRY:
Lily's phone shows

within 100 feet
of this building.

Yep, well, it's not in here.

Thank you.

All right, Lily left her purse
with her wallet and her keys.

Who does that?

Someone who thinks
they're coming back.

(footsteps approaching)
MAN: They're in here.

You wanted to see me?

Mr. Cervantes.

We're looking into the
disappearance of Lily Evans.

We heard you two
had a little run-in.

Why should I talk
to the both of you?

What do you say, Rob,
first bus back to Rikers?

Yeah. Window seat, even.

You know, if we rush the
paperwork, we can get you back

in time for dessert.
I hear they're doing

a crème brûlée with, like,
a raspberry drizzle?

Okay, all right,
what the hell do you want?

Again, we're looking for Lily.

Now, we read the report,
we know you threatened her.

Just tell the truth.

It's a lot easier to remember.

We got into it, okay?

I thought she was
singling me out.

Then I talked to my sponsor
and chilled.

I even apologized.
When was that?

Yesterday, right here.

She said my apology

was a sign of growth.

So, what happened?

Nothing.
With me, anyways.

But she saw something out front
that really bugged her out.

You know what scared her?

Nah, but whatever it was,

she was shook.

Bolted out
the back door.

Haven't seen her since.

(door opens)

(indistinct chatter)

ROBYN:
No cameras.

Look at this.

Shoe prints.

Three different sets.
Yeah, the smaller ones
could be Lily's.

These look like drag marks.

Drag marks start over here...

and then...

...fresh tire tracks.

Okay, so, Lily runs back here,

where she's grabbed
and dragged into a car.

I mean, uh, I can check nearby
street cams and see if, uh,

these tire tracks
match a vehicle, I guess.

Hold on.

Is that a phone?

Somebody is after me and
they will not leave me alone.

Hanna, baby, I love you.

And no matter what happens
to me, know that Mama

just wanted a better life--
no! No!

(muffled screaming)

...what happens to me,
know that Mama just wanted

a better life for you...
A dedicated social worker

and single mother like Lily,

uh, she doesn't
just get snatched

in broad daylight for no reason.

It doesn't make sense.
Well, what else

does she have going on
in her life?

Well, whatever it was,
it was lucrative.

She made $62,000 last year
as a social worker,

but she had $87,000
in student debt.

Three months ago,
she starts paying it off

in $10,000 increments.
Where'd she get
that kind of money?

Well, I've been doing
a data retrieval on her phone.

We got
a hidden cache here.

Got photos in it and...

oh, and video.

Pablo, hi, I miss you.

Hi, Max.

I got that outfit
that you sent me.

(exhales sharply)

ROBYN:
I'm getting
an idea how Lily

was paying off those loans.

Yeah. Running a reverse
image search on her.

Uh, yeah, here we go.

"Lily Evans is a content
provider on Follow Hub,

an adult subscription service."
"Custom photos,

"videos, live one-on-one
video chats,

the ultimate online
girlfriend experience."

This article says
that Follow Hub models

can make up to 50 grand a month.

Well, she's got to take care
of her child somehow.

Her body, her choice.

No judgement, it just
feels exploitive, you know?

Yeah, only if you choose
to see it that way.

I mean, in this country, women
make 78 cents to a man's dollar?

That's the real exploitation.

According to her bank records,
three months ago,

she started getting
direct deposits

from something called
Momentum, Inc.,

which, apparently,
is "a digital hub

"that manages
Follow Hub profiles,

builds brands, amplifies
income," yada yada yada.

So, it's a management company
for Follow Hub personalities.

So, if they're working together,
maybe they have some idea

of what's going on with Lily.

Can you access their records?

No, it's-it's a closed system.

We'd have to install
a back door in their network.

You'd have to be on site
to do that.

Well, I guess someone's
gonna have to go in there

as a Follow Hub
content provider.

W-Why you looking at me?

Can't we, like,
rock, paper, scissors this?

♪ Yo, yo, yo

♪ Yo, check it

ROBYN:
Tell me what you see.

Uh, yeah, looks like a...

tech startup on Viagra.

You must be "GuitarGrooveGuy."

Hey. We talked on the phone.

Sup? I'm Sebastian.

Victoria Allen. Chief Operating
Officer here at Momentum.

All right, all right.

So, I looked at your
content, Sebastian.
Uh-huh.

And I liked what I saw.

Oh, right on, right on. Yeah.

I mean, I got, like,
you know, 10,000 followers,

but, you know, I--
You want more.

Yeah, yeah.
Who doesn't?

I can get you to two million.

(chuckles)
Oh, two million...

Momentum is top tier.

We have every kind of
content creator imaginable.

We have fashion freaks,
fitness gurus, MILFs,

couples, throuples,
gamers...
Okay.

...but so far,
no guitar shredders.

Lucky me. Uh, cool.
Uh, so, like, what's your cut?

20%.
20%.

Of two million followers.

Well, I mean, I'm in.
I mean, like, what's next?

We get to work.

And you're a total
brand rebuild.

I need more sex, more chest...

Ooh. All right.

Lose few of
these buttons.

Hope you like a shag. (laughs)

From now on,

you're "The Ripped Shredder."

Oh. Ripped Shredder.

We just need to make
a sample brand video.

Chloe, why don't you give
our prospective client a tour

while they prepare the content
room for the test shoot?

And then come speak to me
about your metrics.

They're dropping fast.

Models chat live with fans
in the cubicles.

Videos are made
in our vid pods.

And editing and
uploading is done

by our video team.
HARRY: Oh.

And...
Here you go, sweetie.

Oh, thank you.
(laughs)

...all the free drinks
you could ever want.

Right, because, like, the
more copacetic things are here,

the less you're gonna
want to go home, right?

Exactly.

Let me show you
our fitness salon--
HARRY: Hey.

Um, you know what?

Um, I need to tune, uh, my axe.

You know, I got to do a video
or something like that.

Yeah, go ahead. I can wait.

Okay, yeah.
All right.

Okay, cool, yeah,
I'll just, uh,

(gasps)
Oh, no!

Oh, no, what a bummer.
It's okay.

Do you need my shirt?
No, I got a whole wardrobe
in my locker.

That's such a bummer.
It's okay, yeah.

You can just...
Oh, man.
Sorry, Chloe.

ROBYN: What was that?
Are you okay?

All right,
I'm at Lily's cubicle.

I'm installing the back door.

And this will just
take a few minutes.

See anything of interest?

Uh, yeah, some, uh,
models live chatting.

There's one there that seems
to be, uh, sneezing by request.

Sounds like quite a party.

I meant anything
at Lily's cubicle.

Yeah, right.

Uh, okay.

Okay, all right, I found, uh,

a drawer full of
what appear to be gifts.

By, maybe, fans.
There's jewelry, there's, uh,

there's a photo of Lily
and another woman.

You recognize her?
HARRY: No.

But why would
she keep it stashed

in the bottom of a drawer?

It must mean something to Lily.

There's a gift box.

Diamonds?

A photo of her daughter Hanna
playing at the playground.

And there's a note.

"Delete your account
before I get closer."

Her daughter?
That must've terrified Lily.

Yeah. This does not seem
like an opening move.

I-I'm sure we'll find
more threats leading up to this

once I can get into
her private messages, which...

...we now will be able to.

What are you doing?

Oh, hey, uh, I was just, uh...

Just tuning ol' Trigger here.

There's a crew
waiting for you in POD A.

Okay.

Just thinking out loud here...

How attached are you
to the pants?

The pants? Um, you know,
these are Japanese,

so they're just
kind of hard to come by.

Right. Oh.

(exhales)

Namaste.
Namaste.

Mm. That was amazing.

Gosh.

I feel so energized.

Girl, you did
a handstand today.

(laughs)
I know, right?

Gosh...

I'm just so happy
you introduced me to yoga.

I've been talking
to my therapist

about how it just
helps me stay centered.

Dee, can I just say
the way you've handled

everything that
you've been through,

it's pretty incredible.

(chuckles) Thanks.

You know, honestly,
it's all thanks to Dr. Roszak.

She's helped me
process so much.

Oh, by the way,
did you ever call her?

I did,
and I made an appointment.

And...

it's actually for today.

Yeah. (chuckles)

But, um...

I don't think I'm gonna go.

What? Why not?

I just don't know if I'm ready

to open up about all this...

stuff.

I just didn't
come from a family

that did the therapy thing.

You know what?

Dr. R actually
has a saying.

She says,

"Our past doesn't
have to be our prison.

Well, I know she
would help you so much.

It would mean the world to me
if you just...

gave it a shot.

I'm not trying
to pressure you.

Whatever you decide,
I support you.

(chuckles softly)

Thank you.

I'll think about it.

(indistinct chatter)

Captain Curtis.
Nice to meet you.

MAN:
Good to finally meet you.

Now I see why you
wanted to come here.

Why didn't you tell me you
just needed a good wing-woman?

What I need is for him
to demonstrate

how to use
those handcuffs.

You need to stop.

What do we have here?

Mmm.

I have to know.

Who made these
delicious scones?

I did.

Well, what's your secret?

What'd you
put in these?

Ginger
and Tahitian rum.

Isn't that what
you told me?

Yes. Exactly.

I like it.

And a touch
of cardamom, right?

Yes. From Jamaica.

CURTIS:
Mmm.

What's your name?

Evelyn Rodgers.

Everyone,
do yourselves a favor,

grab one of Evelyn's
amazing scones

and then please,
take your seats.

You sit your ass down.

Just sit down.

Okay.

Hello, and welcome

to the Citizen's Police Academy
Community Outreach,

where it's about communication,

not confrontation.

For those I didn't already
meet, I am Captain Curtis,

!and I thank you
for your commitment.

HARRY:
Hey, any luck
at the halfway house?

Canvassed the entire area.
No one saw anything.

Hold on a second.
I might've just gotten a hit.

(clicks mouse)
I, uh, I ran a print

that was on a gift box I
got out of Lily's cubicle.

Jake Marshall, 51,
insurance agent.

He's on Follow Hub
as "Beta Dude."

Okay, so what do we know
about Beta Dude?

He calls himself a "peek freak"

and his bio says, "Let me guess

what's up your dress."

You're serious?

That's just one of his hobbies.

You should see his cloud.

Voyeurism, women in peril,

bondage, lots of sick stuff.

Yeah, well, it sounds
like he's progressing.

(typing)
You know what?
You may be on to something.

He was arrested
for, uh, stalking,

harassment and kidnapping
a woman in Kentucky.

Okay, so how is he
not behind bars?

The charges were thrown out
on a Miranda violation.

Spent a few months in Michigan,

where he's now
a person of interest

in the disappearance
of a sex worker.

And now he's here.

I'm going to get this guy
off the streets.

Lily could be in the hands
of a killer.

(shaky breaths)

(approaching footsteps)

(lights buzzing)

Where's Lily Evans?

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

You've been stalking her, Jake.

Found your fingerprints
on a threatening photo of her.

I don't have to talk to you.

I'm gonna place my thumb

between your collar bone
and your shoulder joint,

and press down.

You ready?

Let me know when
you're feeling more chatty.
You're crazy.

(screams)

Chloe! I did it for Chloe!

God...
Who?

(panting)
Chloe Ward.

She's a Follow Hub model
like Lily.

Chloe asked you to target Lily?

No, she's too pure.

I did it myself.

I look out
for Chloe.

She's my girlfriend.

You really believe that,
don't you?

I know there's other guys,
I'm not stupid.

But it's different with me.

Yeah? How so?

(screaming)

No, no! No!

You know, if something
happens to Lily,

it's gonna come back on Chloe

and she might be
really mad at you.

But you're a smart guy, you
already figured that out, right?

Okay. Okay, I'll talk.

!Just leave Chloe
out of this.

Go on.

I've been following Lily,
trying to scare her off.

She was taking
Chloe's followers.

Chloe was losing money.

It wasn't fair.

It was up to me
to stop it.

How long have you
been following her?

Oh, just a couple days, I swear.

I think this eliminates
Jake as a suspect.

I mean, the metadata shows
that our lovelorn friend

was nowhere near Bright Start
at the time of Lily's abduction.

He didn't kidnap her.

He's just a stalker
and a simp.

You know, a simp's like a guy
who does everything for a girl--

Wait, you're not about to
mansplain to me what a simp is.

Which is funny,
'cause that's the last thing

a simp would ever do.
What's this?

Looks like Lily's
having more than just

a casual disagreement
with that woman.

And whoever this is,
this happened

just a few hours before
Lily's disappearance.

You know how I know that? See
those little numbers up there?

That's called the metadata
and what that does is--

I'm kidding.

Neighborhood Watch,
foot patrols.

All examples of important
community involvement.

Yes.

Uh, is there anything else
that we can do

besides just being watchdogs?

CURTIS:
Communicate.

Develop a relationship
with your precinct.

But resist
crossing the line.

How do we know what the line is?

Be vigilant, not vigilantes.

Like that woman out there
they call "The Equalizer."

That's crossing the line.

Excuse me.
From what I understand,

that woman has done
a lot of good for the community.

That we know of.

Policework should be
handled by police.

Not by some wannabe out there

endangering the lives
of innocent people.

If anything, we should be
thanking that woman.

She puts her life
on the line

and doesn't ask
for anything in return.

By taking the law
into her own hands,

that woman is a criminal.

That's ridiculous.

(groans)

What I'm trying to say

is that statistics have proven
that the police

can't be everywhere
all the time

and sometimes...
people just need a little help.

This looks like a good time
for a break.

(indistinct chatter)

!You are the worst
wingwoman ever.

You don't seem
like you want to be here.

I don't.

But I said I would,

so here I am.

What are you hoping
to accomplish here?

Let's start with that.

Look, I'm doing okay.

I've got a very
supportive husband.

I run a business.

That's great.

It sounds like you have
things under control.

Yes.

Your life's
back to normal, then.

Yeah, I...

Obviously, I did have
a panic attack

a while ago, and, um...

I've had to step away from...

...this, uh...
Robyn McCall. That's okay.

I know about what she does.

And I understand
why you'd want to stop.

I didn't say that.

I said stepping away, temporarily.

Mel, therapy's not for everyone.

I mean, there are other ways
to cope with what

you're going through.
Exactly.

Which is why I go
to a veteran's group,

where I can talk to other
people what I've been through,

who've actually experienced

what I have.

Understood.

Have you heard of Kintsugi?

Yeah, it's, uh...

Japanese, right?

It's a pottery thing,

where you take
the broken piece-- (chuckles)

You take the broken pieces
and you glue them back together.

The word means "golden repair."

And it is a way
of looking at life

that celebrates our flaws.

It honors them
as a mark of survival.

It's kind of like
a Purple Heart for the soul.

I'm wondering if you would
try something for me.

Pottery's not my thing.

Any type of artistic expression.

Even if it's just for you.

Will you try it?

(knocking)

Sorry, I just have
a few questions.

Whatever you're selling,
I'm not interested.

Oh, no-- (sighs)

This woman. She came
to see you the other day.

Busybody, like you.

Wasting my time
with her questions.

She's missing, and you were
one of the last people

to talk to her.

So you said
she was asking questions?

About Sarah.

My daughter.

Is this your daughter Sarah
in the picture with Lily?

Yeah, that's her.
She and the busybody

worked together
at the porn site.

If you want to call that work.

So what did she want
to know about your daughter?

She said Sarah disappeared
three months ago.

Wanted to know where she was.

I told her she was asking
the wrong person.

Your daughter worked at
Follow Hub and she disappeared.

That didn't concern you?

No, she does this all the time.

Quits jobs.

Runs out on
boyfriends.

She dropped
out of college.

She'll be back
when she needs money.

So you have no idea
where she is.

It's better that way.

She's caused me enough trouble.

Someone at church found
one of her videos

online, my friends
kicked me out of book club.

Made it too awkward, they said.

I'm sorry.

No one deserves
to be judged like that.

Neither does Sarah.

She used to do ballet.

She was good, too,
could go right up on pointe.

But she gave up
on that dream,

like she gave up on herself.

Well, I'm not giving up on her.

If I hear anything,
I'll let you know.

Thank you.

Sarah Tanner, Follow Hub model,

stopped uploading new content
three months ago.

I checked Lily's phone records,

and she's been texting
and calling her once a week

ever since.
So Lily notices Sarah
stopped coming to work.

Grows concerned.

Finally gets worried enough
to go looking for her.

Then she vanishes, too.

Somebody doesn't want
Lily poking around.

You know what's crazy is

that Sarah's page is still up,
her old content

is still generating new revenue.
(scoffs)

Profiting from a missing girl?

Who would be that heartless?

One person comes to mind.

Victoria Allen,
the woman who runs Momentum.

I get the impression profit is
just about all she cares about.

Let's check out her financials.

Wow.

She deposited $300,000

three months ago
into her personal account.

And then another 300K
just a few days ago.

Right before Lily disappeared.

Harry, she's selling
these women.

Yeah, but to whom?

And all these deposits
were made in cash,

so if we want answers...

Time for the Shredder
to make another appearance.

Right.

Harry, I'm getting another call.

Keep me posted, okay?
Yep.

Marcus, what's up?

Hey, Robyn.

Can I talk to you
about something?

Always. Problem with a case?

Actually, it's about my boys.

They're having a hard time.

Let me guess.

The distance has created
some issues.

Which is why the plan was always
to move them to L.A.

And they're pushing back
on that, too?

And I get
where they're coming from.

It's no fun to pick up
and start over.

Well, it can't be great for you.

Not seeing them for so long.

Yeah, being a FaceTime father
is no good for anyone involved.

Robyn, be honest with me.

Am I asking too much of them?

You knew taking this job
would involve sacrifice.

But what you're doing
is important.

Just have to find the balance.

You mean like you?

You make it all look so easy.

It's never easy.

When Dee was young,

my work with the agency
meant a lot of travel.

And I hated every minute

I spent away from her.
I still do.

(chuckles softly)
There's never enough time.

Yeah, well, we figure it out,
because we have to.

But I was lucky.

I had a safety net in Aunt Vi.

You're saying
I can't do this alone.

I'm saying you should arrange
some kind of support system

before you make this call.

And until then...

maybe this is
how it's got to be.

Maybe.

But that's a decision
for you to make.

(hip-hop music playing)

Yo, Vic!

(chuckles) I'm back.

Oh, you can't just show up
without an appointment.

I'm extremely busy.
This'll just take a minute.

Is there somewhere
we can talk?
What about?

VICTORIA:
My bank records?

Who are you?
Tell you what.

(clears throat)
Why don't we just focus

on the two $300,000 deposits
that you made that happen

to coincide
with the disappearance of two

of your employees.
I'm calling my lawyer.

You are?
Okay, great, what I'm gonna do

is I'm gonna call the D.A.
so your lawyer has someone fun

to argue with.
(line ringing)

What do you want?

Money?
No.

I want to know what happened
to those women.

All right.

Okay, okay.

I was approached by a fan.

He wanted access.

Right, so you obliged.

I just gave him their real names

and addresses, that's it.

Just the sort of information
that you go to great pains

to conceal from other users.

I need a name.

I don't have one.

The cash was dropped
off anonymously.

I have a username.

VIPcryptoFan529.

That's not good enough,
all right?

I need to know where the hell
these women are.

I don't know.

Really!

They could be anywhere.

Be smart.

Just do what he says.

Tell me you belong to me.

Say it.
(whimpers)

I belong to you.

(grunts)

(grunts)
(shouts)

You bitch!

I will train you to be with me.

But first...

I will make you pay.

SANDRA:
Any updates?

Sandra, I'll keep you posted.

And tell that little girl
I'm doing everything I can

to bring her mom home.

Okay, thanks.

Rob, what's up?

Lily's daughter's
been asking for her.

Where are we with finding
the identity of this fan?

I'm going through his DMs
on the Follow Hub site to Lily

and Sarah, I'm just trying to
build some kind of profile here.

Any insights?
I mean, nothing

that would narrow it down.
This guy,

if he is a guy,
presents as both

sort of old-fashioned chauvinist

and creepy stalker.

I mean, listen to this DM.

"I will give you the world.

"Every desire will be met.

My queen will want for nothing."

And this
is where it gets creepy.

Getscreepy?

"I will mold you
into your ideal self: your hair,

your clothes, your skin."

He wants to dress them up
like dolls.

They're playthings to him.

"Your face will be flawless.

"Your eyes,

"your lips, your nails,

"adorned with the ideal shade,
everything

tailor-made to enhance
your beauty."

Wait.

Do you think
he's having cosmetics

custom-designed for her?
Uh, sounds like it. Why?

Because there's got
to be a store

that does that sort of thing.
Checking.

All right,
I got something, yeah.

"Panache: the ideal shade,
lips and nails,

"tailor-made to bring out
the true you.

Everything from Crimson
Seduction to Passion Sapphire."

Send me the address.

I'm on my way.
(engine revs)

(bells jingle)

Welcome.

May I introduce you
to our latest collections?

Uh, not today, thanks.

But you still might be able
to help me.

Have you seen
this woman in here?

Uh, not in person.

But her husband sent us
that photo.

He's not her husband.
We don't judge here.

Who is he? I need a name.

We value
our clients' privacy, so--

Your client

is holding this woman
against her will.

Which makes you
an accessory to kidnapping,

false imprisonment,
maybe worse,

unless you give me
that damn name right now.

Daniel Fleming.

I need everything
you have on him.

(line ringing)

Hurry up.

Harry, we got a name.

Daniel Fleming.

He's made millions
in pump and dump crypto scams.

He's been divorced three times,

holds black belts
in multiple martial arts

and his social media feed

looks like Toxic Masculinity
for Dummies,

although I realize
that's redundant.

You have an address for me?

Yeah, he's got a...

penthouse on the Upper East Side
and a mansion on Long Island.

He's not holding women
at a penthouse.

All right,
sending you Long Island.

(woman sobbing)

Sarah, you have to help me.

Please.

Why did you have
to hit him?

I told you to do
what he asked.

Look.

It doesn't have to be this way.

I can, I-I can distract him.

You could come up behind him,
and we could get out of here.

(pants)

Time for your lesson.

No. I promise, I'll be better.

What is that?

I've found
it's an excellent teacher.

It'll hurt
a great deal.

But with pain
comes enlightenment.

(gasping) No...
Right, Sarah?

(taser buzzes, door slams)

Fleming, put it down!
Who the hell are you?

The one who's gonna
take those girls home.

They'll leave
when I say they do.

You like to hurt women,
huh, Fleming?

Okay.

Come on.

Hurt me.
