00:00I don't want you to do anything about what I'm going to tell you.
00:16I just wanted somebody else to know.
00:20I think it'll help me move forward.
00:25Since you asked.
00:27Here we are.
00:30I understand.
00:55Good evening.
00:56Hi. I needed to have this prescription filled.
00:58Sorry, but I can't fill this.
01:07Why not?
01:08Because it's not real.
01:10What do you mean it's not real?
01:12I just saw my doctor earlier today.
01:14Well, I can give him a call in the morning to verify if you want me to.
01:18Then we'll let you know when it's ready for pickup.
01:24Listen, I really need it tonight.
01:27Just this once.
01:29Can you do it?
01:31Please?
01:31All I can do for you right now is tell you to get some help for your own sake.
01:41Oh, that is so gross.
01:59Who is that?
02:00Who is that?
02:01Troy.
02:02Is that the Troy that Brooke is talking to?
02:05Yep.
02:06You are so bad.
02:08Yeah, but he's hot.
02:10She knew it was fake as soon as she saw it.
02:16Well, they took it last time, so we'll just do another pharmacy.
02:20She threw it away.
02:21So she threw my stuff away?
02:24Yeah.
02:24Did your little brother write it?
02:26It was terrible.
02:27Hold on.
02:29Seriously, what did you want me to do?
02:31That wouldn't have happened if I would have went in there.
02:32Well, you never would have gone in there.
02:34Ladies, this is your ticket to another world and a night of unspeakable enchantments.
02:50Who's going to try it?
02:56I'm in.
03:00Hold it under your tongue.
03:04Hold it under your tongue.
03:34hold it under my tongue.
03:35Hold it under your tongue.
03:53I think it looks so gross.
04:00I think they have a very little weird one.
04:03Get dressed, your ID's here.
04:33Great night, huh?
04:40Wild, wild.
04:45Yeah, I remember those nights.
04:50Crazy, crazy, crazy.
04:54You look dead.
04:56I mean, no offense.
04:59You know, he's just someone as pretty as you to look that bad.
05:04You must have made some memories, huh?
05:08You know, I do a lot of business in this area.
05:13Yeah, I'm gonna put my kids into college if you guys keep partying this hard.
05:20Yeah, crazy, crazy, crazy.
05:27That was the only night anything could have happened.
05:35How do you know?
05:38I wasn't with anyone else.
05:41You didn't go to the police?
05:44You didn't have an exam for evidence?
05:47I wasn't too fond of the police at the time.
05:50I thought maybe nothing happened.
05:56And now you know that it did.
06:02Can we not tell Mom?
06:08At least not yet.
06:10She's just so excited.
06:12And I don't want her to have any bad feelings for me.
06:15I won't tell her.
06:16I won't say anything until you say it.
06:19Thanks for listening.
06:44I'm sorry I let this happen to you.
06:47You need to report it.
07:10They're not gonna let me take my daughter's case.
07:12I'll give it to Frank and then it'll sit on his desk with all his other papers.
07:15You don't know that.
07:16You know, I do know that.
07:17Because then they'll catch the guy, the clerk will forget something, he'll get off.
07:20It's not happening.
07:23I don't want you getting tangled up in this.
07:28I might not follow the rules.
07:34You know you can't get rid of me that easily.
07:37You're gonna risk your job.
07:38You're gonna risk your job.
07:39Everything you work for.
07:40If the roles were reversed and it was my brother, would you risk it for me?
07:44Look, I know you have a plan.
07:51So what are we doing first?
07:53I'm almost done.
07:54Someone is here for you.
08:08Who is it?
08:10They didn't say their names.
08:11Did you know you have a warrant?
08:23Well, I mean, I'm not surprised by it.
08:27We're not here to arrest you, but you need to take care of that as soon as you can.
08:32Yes, sir.
08:33I do want to talk to you about a case I'm working on.
08:36Bob's a friend of yours.
08:37Katie Travis.
08:38Okay.
08:39Is she okay?
08:42She's safe.
08:43You were with her a couple of months ago on a night that she was assaulted.
08:48You aware of what happened to her?
08:51No, sir, I'm not.
08:54Can you think of a time that she was incoherent?
09:00Maybe vulnerable?
09:02Well, I mean, the last time that I saw her, she...
09:07She what?
09:08Well, we went out to this place and we partied.
09:13It was Rachel's favorite place to go.
09:16We danced all night long and it got late.
09:21Katie left with these guys.
09:23Her and Rachel both did.
09:25They told me that they didn't need a ride, and so that was the last that I saw them.
09:30Who are these guys?
09:32I didn't know them.
09:34I mean, I know it sounds bad, but that's how our nights ended.
09:37Occasionally.
09:38Ashley doesn't do that anymore though, not since she's come home.
09:42So you just let your friend go off with some guys that...
09:45Did you bother to call her the next day and make sure your friend Katie was okay?
09:50Well, I had a rough night myself.
09:53I mean, my grandma had to come pick me up the next morning from a hotel room.
09:59And that's when I knew it was time.
10:01She's always been a good girl.
10:03She's had some prodigal years.
10:06Now these past few months, you can believe all the Lord has been doing in her.
10:12I have my Ashley back.
10:15I just needed to change my group of friends, and Katie was a part of that.
10:23I mean, I feel bad, but I really do think about her all the time.
10:44Come in.
10:45Hey.
10:46You forgot something?
10:47Where did I leave it?
10:48On the counter in our bathroom.
10:49Are you on a big case?
10:50You've been distracted.
10:51I'm just getting old.
10:52Something is going on, and I think that you are behind it.
10:55What does that mean?
11:11I don't know.
11:12I just, every case I've been working on the last couple of months, something comes up about God.
11:16You know, somebody says something somewhere, I just can't get away from it.
11:21Maybe God's trying to tell you something.
11:24How do I make it stop?
11:26God is chasing you, trying to get your attention,
11:29and you want him to stop?
11:31No, I'm serious.
11:33What does it mean?
11:35My detective husband needs me to figure something out for him.
11:38I like that.
11:39Come on, seriously.
11:42Maybe Romans 1013 is a good place to start.
11:47What does it say?
11:49I think you need to look it up.
11:51Does it look like I have time?
11:54Then make time.
12:01Okay, okay. Stay calm. They won't suspect anything.
12:14I'm not going to jail tonight. I don't even know you.
12:16No, no, no. We've known each other for a long time, alright?
12:19Alright.
12:20Bye.
12:21Hey!
12:22What are you doing?
12:23What are you doing?
12:24What are you doing?
12:25Yes, sir.
12:26Whatever you say.
12:27Go to the back of the car.
12:28What?
12:29You're gonna break my arm.
12:30Shut up.
12:31Shut up.
12:32What do you think we're gonna find in this car?
12:34Well, let's find out.
12:35Hey, buddy.
12:36Can I search your car?
12:37No.
12:38No.
12:39Whatever you want to do, sir.
12:40Right.
12:41Drake!
12:42Why would you say that?
12:43Hey!
12:44This night's gonna go a lot smoother if you just answer a few questions.
12:45They're not mine. He gave them to me.
12:46Why did you do that?
12:47What are you doing?
12:48What are you doing?
12:49What are you doing?
12:50Yes, sir.
12:51Whatever you say.
12:52Go to the back of the car.
12:53What?
12:54You're gonna break my arm.
12:55Shut up.
12:56What do you think we're gonna find in this car?
12:59Well, let's find out.
13:01Hey, buddy.
13:02Can I search your car?
13:03Whatever you want to do, sir.
13:05Right.
13:06Drake!
13:07Why would you say that?
13:08Hey!
13:09It's gonna go a lot smoother if you just answer a few questions.
13:11They're not mine.
13:12He gave them to me.
13:13Why did you drug Katie Travis?
13:16I don't know what you're talking about.
13:18Okay.
13:19Search it!
13:21Wait!
13:23I remember.
13:25I remember.
13:26Remember what?
13:32I got paid to give Katie GHB and take her out behind the club.
13:35That's it.
13:36Okay?
13:37Paid by who?
13:38I don't know.
13:39How do you not know?
13:40They paid me through an app on my phone.
13:43But I owed people money and they gave it to me.
13:47Okay.
13:48You know, Katie was a wreck anyway.
13:56You can't take my phone!
13:58Watch me.
14:00Hey.
14:01You're free to go.
14:08I can't believe we just did that.
14:09We could lose our jobs if Bill finds out.
14:10Sergeant Bill Tomlinson wrote the book on what we just did.
14:20Hey, Chris.
14:21Yeah.
14:22Staying busy?
14:38Hey, Chris.
14:47Yeah.
14:50Staying busy?
14:52Mm-hmm.
14:54Do you have any plans this weekend?
14:56I'm sorry. I'm... I really am busy.
15:01Okay.
15:08Hey, Kevin.
15:11Oh, Ms. Tanner.
15:12Help me with something.
15:13I need access to a locked phone, but I can't send it to the lab.
15:18Is that something you might know about?
15:20Ah, unfortunately, I'm not in IT forensics.
15:23Right, but can you help me?
15:25Well, it is technically my area of expertise,
15:29but my internal transfer application to ITF was denied
15:32because of headcount in the department, so I...
15:35Yeah, that's fine. Just, um, come to my place later.
15:37I'll click first.
15:39Wow, um... I'll be there. Terrific.
15:43Okay. You need my address?
15:46I can find it.
16:07I am so terribly sorry.
16:13Uh, this is the Tanner residence, right?
16:17Who are you?
16:19I'm at the wrong address.
16:21Um...
16:22Hey, Kevin.
16:23Come on in.
16:24Uh, this is my brother, Shane.
16:26Oh, yeah, right.
16:28I brought these for you, uh, and, um, for your brother, of course.
16:35That's great. Uh, come in.
16:37Okay.
16:37Okay.
16:37Could you maybe, um, not, Pace?
16:58Oh, yeah. Sorry. Just trying to get my steps up.
17:01Did you find anything?
17:02Uh, yeah. There is some metadata attached to the transaction,
17:07which might give us some information on the origin of the payer.
17:12Metadata?
17:13Exactly. Extra details about the transaction, which you can't see in the app.
17:18Maybe the buyer was sloppy enough to include something that might help us.
17:24Do you want any water?
17:28Huh?
17:30Oh.
17:32I'm fine. Thank you.
17:34Sorry about the food.
17:37Oh, I might have just found something.
17:44Whoa, what is this?
17:45Okay, so I pulled up this site from an embedded IP address that I found.
17:56I had to use an encrypted web browser.
18:00It doesn't seem to have a host name, but obviously it has content.
18:05It's on the dark web, so to speak.
18:07It's a, it's a, it's a date rape service to pay for the person to be delivered.
18:16I, uh, yeah, that's what it seems like.
18:21How does it work?
18:23Uh, it says to put in the information of your victim,
18:32Submit a payment, and then they'll text you with an address to meet.
18:40Can you trace that to the owners?
18:42Oh, yeah, I can try, but this site is hosted overseas,
18:45which means our laws and warrants will give you an authority.
18:55So if someone paid for Katie, it means she was targeted.
18:58Just a second, let me see if I can pull some more information on the phone.
19:05We, we might have everything that we need.
19:09Whoa, that's not good.
19:10What, what happened?
19:11Uh, uh, the, the tools that we use to hack the phone,
19:14sometimes they're unreliable, and I think I just bricked it.
19:18You killed it?
19:20Well, in primitive terms, yes.
19:23Okay, can you restore it?
19:24Well, I mean, not with the stuff that we have.
19:26Maybe if we sent it off to, um...
19:28No, no, we cannot, we can't.
19:31Travis will kill me.
19:31You have to do something.
19:32Well, I'm okay, just give me a second.
19:38No.
19:42At least we still have the site.
19:45So whoever it was knew Katie, and then the people behind the site used Rachel to drug her.
19:56This is much bigger than I thought.
20:00We're gonna have to notify the feds.
20:02Our forensics team doesn't have the tools to deal with it.
20:04I don't know how deep this goes.
20:06It could be out of state, could be out of country.
20:07But if we pass it off, what are the chances of us finding the guy we want?
20:10We can't sit on it.
20:12We have to move.
20:12Exactly.
20:13Which is why I placed an order for myself.
20:15You did what?
20:17I placed an order for myself.
20:20The notification will get sent to your phone.
20:22It's a honeypot.
20:23Well, slow down.
20:24You have no idea what you're getting yourself into.
20:27Do you want to catch the guy?
20:29Or not?
20:30Besides, it's too late now.
20:33They're coming for me.
20:34They're coming for me.
21:04Where are you heading in such a hurry?
21:30I got a call.
21:31They want me on scene.
21:32You forgot something.
21:37I don't need it.
21:39You don't need it?
21:41Here.
21:45See you in the morning.
21:47Love you.
22:02Hey.
22:15Has Dad said anything about what's going on at work?
22:20I don't think so.
22:22Why?
22:23He's been really distracted.
22:26But his work is always stressful.
22:30Maybe say a prayer for him.
22:34I will.
22:34I look at their front.
22:43And then I look like to check them out.
22:45And see my information.
22:47And they're like,
22:48I want to suck on them.
22:50I don't know.
22:50Hey.
22:53Hey, give them back.
22:55Hey.
22:55Trish.
23:08Hey.
23:11You mean Chris?
23:14Oh.
23:14I'm so sorry.
23:17My mistake.
23:17I thought you were someone else.
23:20Are you sure?
23:21Because I don't see anybody else here.
23:26Well, maybe it isn't a mistake.
23:32I'm Adam.
23:32Nice to meet you.
23:37Is one of those for me?
23:45Actually, um,
23:46it really is for Trish.
23:50I'm just a bit early.
23:53It's very nice to meet you, Chris.
24:02Good evening, Officer Tanner.
24:22It's been a change of plans.
24:23Oh.
24:34Whoa!
24:47There.
24:48There.
24:48There.
24:49Ah!
24:50Nein!
24:51Oh.
24:53Oh.
24:53Oh.
24:53Good evening.
25:05Hey, this place you're going to, I know very well.
25:08Huh?
25:09Little action, hmm?
25:11Little action.
25:13God, man, I wish you would let me in on how you guys pick up these women.
25:18Because with my luck, you know.
25:21Shut up and drive.
25:23Shut up and drive.
25:53Shut up and drive.
26:23Shut up and drive.
26:25Shut up and drive.
26:27Shut up and drive.
