00:01Describe today. One word.
00:03Well, not that game again.
00:04Mm-hmm.
00:05Wednesday.
00:06Oh, good one, Allberg.
00:07Well, it's better than Monday.
00:08Ha! Budget.
00:10That's my word.
00:12Vote's tonight.
00:14You ready?
00:15I got some of what I wanted.
00:17Christy got some of what she wanted.
00:18End of the day, I can live with it.
00:20There's a 30% increase to police funding.
00:23Five new officers so that you can solve everyone's crimes
00:27without killing yourself.
00:30Don't get so emotional.
00:31Well, no, it's just, uh...
00:35Finally.
00:36Really need this budget to pass.
00:38It will.
00:39I was the last holdout and I'm on board now, so...
00:47It was never personal.
00:49Not between you and me.
00:50Yeah, well...
00:52Thank you anyway.
01:00You ready?
01:01Let's do it.
01:02You ready?
01:03Yeah, I just pulled up to the clinic.
01:05Did you?
01:06Yes.
01:07You don't have to keep checking up on me.
01:08We'd be getting old, but I can still tell a doctor it's hard to pee.
01:12PMI, Uncle Fred.
01:13PMI, Uncle Fred.
01:14There they are.
01:15Let's do it.
01:16I'm so hungry.
01:17I'll leave you as crap.
01:18No, let's go.
01:19Stop right there.
01:20Hey!
01:21Hey!
01:22Hey!
01:23Hey!
01:24Hey!
01:25Hey!
01:26Hey!
01:27Hey!
01:28Hey!
01:29Hey!
01:30Hey!
01:31Hey!
01:32Hey!
01:33Hey!
01:34Hey!
01:35Hey!
01:36Hey!
01:37Hey!
01:38Hey!
01:39Hey!
01:40Hey!
01:41Hey!
01:42Hey!
01:43Hey!
01:44Hey!
01:45Hey!
01:46Hey!
01:47Hey!
01:48Hey!
01:49Hey!
01:50Hey!
01:51Hey!
01:52Hey!
01:53Hey!
01:54Hey!
01:55Hey!
01:56Hey!
01:57Hey!
01:58Hey!
01:59Hey!
02:00Hey!
02:01Hey!
02:02Hey!
02:03Hey!
02:04Hey!
02:05That's the way you saw the van go.
02:12East, yeah.
02:14All went down pretty fast.
02:15Let's go over it again.
02:16Tell me what you saw.
02:17Three guys, one driving, two guys jumped out, black ski mask, blue coveralls, average height,
02:24average weight, drove up, grabbed the kids and took off.
02:27I tried to take a pick, but they were too fast.
02:29I'll go talk to the pizza guy.
02:31I got a bolo out on the van and units heading for the ferry.
02:34Good thing you were here.
02:36I just got the tail end.
02:37Pretty scary.
02:38I need an official statement.
02:39I'll call you later for that.
02:40Let's barricade the lot for evidence.
02:42Station units up and down the coast, no more than 10 miles apart.
02:45We don't have enough people for that.
02:47We'll improvise.
02:48I'll call the fire department.
02:51The pizza joint has three cameras.
02:53The manager is sending over the footage.
02:55Good.
02:55The little boy is Benji.
02:56The girl is Paulina, the babysitter.
02:58They eat here almost every day.
03:00Let's grab CCTV footage of all the establishments in the area.
03:16What's with all the sirens downtown?
03:18I'm not sure.
03:19Carl got a call and away you went.
03:22Someone said there was an abduction.
03:24God, I hope not.
03:26Flowers?
03:27It's just something I'm looking into.
03:30I'm going to go to the police station.
03:32It won't be very long.
03:35If Todd shows up before I get back...
03:37He's an hour late.
03:39He practically lived at the library, but now that he works here...
03:41He is here two afternoons a week helping out.
03:45Maybe we could use the grant money to fix the Wi-Fi instead.
03:49I mean, you could call him if he had a phone, but...
03:52Bree?
03:53Yes, this might be a challenge.
03:56Fine.
03:56It's hard to help people who don't want to be helped.
04:02Just saying.
04:06Benji's a quiet kid, but he lights up when Paulina's around.
04:10Does she always pick him up from school?
04:11Every day.
04:12For the past two years, she takes him for a snack or to soccer practice and then right home.
04:16So what happens next?
04:18You know, you have no idea where they could be?
04:20Most abductions involve family members.
04:23Any ongoing disputes in yours, Mr. Norwood?
04:25No, no.
04:26Nobody like that.
04:27An associate, maybe.
04:28You own close canning.
04:29You hire a lot of people.
04:30You must fire a few.
04:34In a hostage situation, every second counts.
04:37We let one of our managers go.
04:40Six months ago.
04:40Curtis Penner.
04:42He threatened me.
04:42He threatened you.
04:44How?
04:44He said, I'll get what's coming to me.
04:46That kind of thing.
04:47I mean, he was upset, so I didn't really think much of it at the time.
04:49He was nice enough.
04:51Usually extremely smart.
04:55Just his people skills.
04:57They're not going to hurt them, are they?
04:59We'll do everything we can.
05:04Meantime, stay here.
05:05Make sure your phones are charged.
05:07Kidnappers will make contact soon.
05:09Oh, my God.
05:10I have an officer just outside the door, okay?
05:13I'll be right back.
05:16Oh.
05:19Turns out Paulina Rauch isn't your typical au pair.
05:21Her dad builds custom speedboats.
05:23So she could have been the target.
05:25Absolutely.
05:26Tracked down to Curtis Penner.
05:28He used to work for the Norwoods.
05:29They let him go six months ago.
05:31Okay.
05:31Paulina's mom's in the interview room.
05:38Hey, Dad.
05:39Soph, what are you doing here?
05:40Liza was supposed to walk me home from hockey.
05:42She never showed up.
05:44So I came to see you.
05:47That's great, sweetheart.
05:49Give me a minute, and I'll give you a ride home.
05:52I can take her home, Sarge.
05:54No, no, no.
05:54I'll just...
05:54No, that's okay.
05:55I got it.
05:55You focus on the case.
05:57We might be able to grab a milkshake at the drive-thru, if that's okay with you.
06:01Totally.
06:02And you?
06:04No problem.
06:05Let me grab my purse.
06:06Bye, Dad.
06:08See you later, sweetheart.
06:08Isabella, you're busy.
06:20I am crazy day.
06:22I got this.
06:24Hey, Xandra.
06:25Hi.
06:25You're seeing the chief?
06:26Yeah, I was.
06:27I ran across something.
06:31I know this is a weird ask.
06:33And it isn't urgent.
06:34I probably shouldn't bother you with this at all.
06:37In Shanner's Nightshade?
06:38Yeah.
06:39It symbolizes vengeance.
06:41I keep coming across this flower at different memorial sites.
06:45I got curious.
06:46Just tell me it's a coincidence.
06:49Okay.
06:50I'll take a look into it.
06:56The babysitting.
06:58My husband hates it.
06:59He thinks Paulina should be getting ready for college, but she loves that little boy.
07:04Your husband?
07:04Where is he now?
07:05He's in Portland.
07:06On business.
07:07I called him.
07:08He's horrified and he's on the next plane home.
07:11Anyone have a beef with you?
07:13With your husband?
07:14With your daughter?
07:15No.
07:17She's a wonderful girl.
07:19Who would do this?
07:21CCTV footage matches the description of a van stolen in Olympia a few months back.
07:26Call Olympia police.
07:27See what they have.
07:28Any sightings?
07:29Multiple.
07:30In all directions.
07:30People keep calling, but nothing checks out yet.
07:33Let's expand roadblocks north and south.
07:35Yes, sir.
07:35It's been two hours.
07:37They could be anywhere.
07:38Keep on the footage.
07:39Maybe there's video of them casing the pizza joint.
07:41Will do.
07:42How's the family?
07:43Frantic.
07:44My gut is they're not involved with the kidnapping, but...
07:47What?
07:48Busy location.
07:52Broad daylight.
07:53A lot harder than picking somebody off a side street.
07:55Both the boy and the sitter.
07:57Chief.
07:58Kidnappers are on with Ms. Rouch.
08:03What's a quarter of a million dollars?
08:05Where?
08:05Ellington Park.
08:06It's 20 miles northeast, set up a perimeter.
08:09All access roads make it discreet.
08:10Okay.
08:11Ready?
08:16I'm here.
08:18Hello to any police that may be listening.
08:20I also want an additional $250,000 in hundreds for the boy.
08:25Bring it to the grain silo on rural road 7 in Claymore.
08:28Claymore?
08:29You have one hour.
08:30Do as I say, or the boy dies.
08:32But my daughter.
08:33I see cops.
08:34Your daughter's dead, too.
08:35Oh.
08:38All right.
08:39We're going to bring your daughter home, okay?
08:42Yeah, my word.
08:56Brett?
08:57I made that chicken casserole, honey.
08:59I've got a budget meeting tonight.
09:01I'm sorry.
09:01It's important.
09:02Did you email your teachers about your homework?
09:10Brett.
09:12I am so fed up with this.
09:15You are going to school tomorrow.
09:17I hate the place, and they hate me.
09:20They don't hate you, sweetheart.
09:22But you can't just lie around here all day hiding.
09:25You have exams coming up.
09:27You're going to lose the whole year.
09:29So I lose the year.
09:30What do you want?
09:32Do you want to drop out?
09:33And get a job doing what?
09:35Don't know.
09:36Well, you have to know.
09:37You have to think about this.
09:38You have to be logical.
09:39Be smart about it.
09:39I want you to leave me alone.
09:45Oh, that wasn't very smart of me, was it?
09:58Mom?
10:00Been here.
10:02What happened?
10:04Never mind.
10:05Thank you for coming.
10:06I've got a budget meeting tonight.
10:10Oven's preheated.
10:11You can put the casserole in for an hour.
10:14You've walked me over to babysit?
10:16I am not comfortable leaving Brett alone.
10:20Family first, as always.
10:22Mom.
10:23Holman Developments.
10:25I know, sweetheart.
10:26I know.
10:27You can work from here.
10:28Just don't use my computer.
10:30This is like a ten-bell fire.
10:34I think fires only have five bells.
10:36I don't think you understand.
10:38The budget has to pass.
10:40Without roads, without infrastructure,
10:42we won't be able to break ground.
10:43I understand.
10:45I will accept.
10:47I've been emailing you all day.
10:48Would you stop emailing?
10:50My God.
10:54I am so sorry.
10:55I'm sorry.
10:58Robert and I stepped up.
10:59When you needed us,
11:01we are running your company.
11:04I know.
11:04I'm so sorry.
11:06I'm sorry.
11:07I'm sorry.
11:08I'm sorry.
11:09I love you.
11:10Okay?
11:11We're monitoring all roads in and out of Ellingdon.
11:14In Claymore?
11:15They're good to go too, Chief.
11:16It's been over an hour.
11:17Still nothing on the Ratch Front.
11:19All units, stay back from the job sites.
11:21You see anything, report immediately.
11:23Don't move until I say so.
11:25Jobbers don't stand by sweat, too.
11:26Two job sites, 40 miles apart.
11:31Yeah, one doesn't pan out.
11:32They got the other one.
11:33Double the risk.
11:34Chief.
11:36Curtis Penner, interview room.
11:38Hold the force, Sid.
11:39Anything changes.
11:40Come get me.
11:40This one says contemporary and confident, right?
11:48This one says mysterious and honoring.
11:52They're both great.
11:54Yeah, but what I really need is one to say,
11:55not nervous as hell,
11:56that this is a blind date
11:57and the first date that I've had in five years.
12:00Oh my gosh, you have to help me.
12:01He's taking me to the silent auction thing tonight
12:03at the Gibsons Club.
12:05And he's the new hospital administrator.
12:08I mean, I could get laid
12:09and have free health care for life.
12:12Go with the black.
12:13It's classic.
12:15You're just saying that.
12:16The white, then.
12:19No.
12:20Black.
12:22Mysterious.
12:22There you go.
12:23I was glad to help.
12:24Okay, okay.
12:24Now you have to help me pick shoes and earrings.
12:26I have at least six different pairs.
12:28Do we like the straps?
12:31How do we feel?
12:32Cats.
12:34No, uh, yeah.
12:35They're good.
12:35They're good.
12:36Great.
12:36Looks great.
12:37Perfect.
12:39Curtis Penner.
12:41The Norwoods let you go six months ago.
12:43Why?
12:45They called it a bad fit.
12:48What would you call it?
12:49The difference in priorities.
12:51The Norwoods said you threatened them.
12:54I spoke in anger, yes.
12:56I was upset, but I've moved on.
12:58So you're working now.
13:00You're still unemployed.
13:02It's tough.
13:03I have a very specialized skill set.
13:06I'm selective.
13:07That's not a crime.
13:09Why am I here?
13:11The boy?
13:11I heard it on the radio.
13:14If I'd abducted him, I wouldn't be sitting here, would I?
13:17Look, I don't like the Norwoods, but I'm not a monster.
13:21Benji is a nice kid.
13:22I hope you find him.
13:23Will, were you earlier today?
13:28Helping my neighbor with her taxes.
13:30I hear you're good with numbers.
13:33Just knock over the people.
13:36I find most people are overrated.
13:38Police officer, we'll see you out.
13:48Case in point.
13:51Sarge?
13:52You're not going to believe this.
13:53A call just came in.
13:54She says she's Paulina Rauch.
13:55Paulina, this is Sergeant Sokolowski.
14:01Where are you?
14:02Morrow Point.
14:03I'm in Morrow Point, outside the gas station.
14:05Gas station in Morrow Point.
14:07Closest car in an ambulance.
14:08Locked down the area.
14:09Paulina, we got people on the way.
14:10What I need you to do right now is I need you to get off this phone and go hide somewhere,
14:14listen for the sirens.
14:15We're less than five minutes out.
14:16Can you do that for me?
14:17Please, hurry.
14:18All right, go now.
14:21Tell the chief.
14:22Okay.
14:24So where is she?
14:26Okay, I got there a little bit late.
14:28Someone said that she came here.
14:29We're dealing with a violent abduction and two innocent kids.
14:32Yeah, I know that.
14:33And you can't be bothered, your own little sister.
14:35I just said I...
14:36What the hell's wrong with you?
14:38I don't have time for this.
14:54Liza.
14:57Liza!
14:59And she's gone.
15:01That needed to happen, my humble opinion.
15:05I'm her dad, Izzy.
15:08She'll survive.
15:16Once I freed my hands, I opened the door and I just ran.
15:20Oh, my God.
15:21Benji's going to be so terrified.
15:23It's okay.
15:24You're going to help us find him.
15:26I need you to breathe.
15:30And tell me everything you remember.
15:31We were together in the van.
15:40We rode for a while and then we stopped and they took us inside somewhere.
15:47They?
15:48Two of them.
15:49I was blindfolded.
15:50I never saw faces.
15:52And Benji was with you?
15:53He was crying.
15:59We took him to a different room.
16:02The place where they held you.
16:04I need details out.
16:05It was big, I think.
16:10It smelled like potatoes.
16:12Like musty, stale potatoes.
16:15The whole area.
16:17And I heard a bell.
16:19Like a church bell?
16:20No, like a store when you go in.
16:23Then they took me out again.
16:25With Benji?
16:26Just me.
16:26They put me in a car.
16:28We drove for a while.
16:31And then it stopped.
16:33And the man got out.
16:34I don't know where he went, but this was my chance.
16:36I used my feet to open the door and I just ran.
16:42That's my girl.
16:43Think I'm looking for you?
16:45If he did, I didn't see him.
16:47The man who took you.
16:49Can you describe him to me?
16:51No.
16:52It all happened so fast.
16:54I was...
16:56What is it?
16:59His hand.
17:00The man who blindfolded me.
17:01There was a scar on his wrist like a burn.
17:04V-shaped poking out of his cuff.
17:06I never should have left Benji.
17:08You have to find Benji.
17:09I'm supposed to take care of him.
17:11You did the right thing.
17:12Hey.
17:13You're an incredibly brave young woman.
17:17And we are going to find him.
17:18Stale potatoes?
17:24That's what she said.
17:25I worked in a cedar mill summers when I was in high school.
17:28Fresh cut yellow cedar smells like stale potatoes.
17:31What is the nearest?
17:33Porpoise Bay.
17:34Mill was shut down for years, but it's up and running now.
17:37Kid might be held in an abandoned retail space in the area.
17:40Larkin's based there.
17:41Get him on it.
17:42Larkin's up in Ellington right now.
17:43Doc Cliver's in Porpoise Bay.
17:45Have her to do it.
17:45She's not a cop.
17:46All hands on deck.
17:48Okay.
17:49Call the Department of Corrections.
17:50Have them run their database.
17:52Paulina said her kidnapper had a V-shaped burn scar.
17:55Right wrist.
17:57It might get lucky.
18:05Ah, Cassandra.
18:07Hard at work.
18:08Christy.
18:09You know, I really should come in here more often.
18:11All these curious minds in various states of osmosis.
18:15How can I help?
18:17Task at hand, yes.
18:18Okay, so, the final, final draft of the budget.
18:23Staff just put it out.
18:24Yeah, I got a notification in my email.
18:26Dismiss that.
18:28Final, final.
18:29I just want to give you a heads up that there are some minor tweaks.
18:33Purely cosmetic.
18:35Nothing that would alter the spirit of our discussion.
18:39We're voting tonight.
18:40Yeah, well, this is your first budget, so you will see that this is very common practice
18:44to hone the rough edges.
18:47I just, I just didn't want you to feel blindsided.
18:51Cassandra.
18:52Todd.
18:53Hey.
18:54I was getting worried.
18:55No, it's cool.
18:55Every, uh, everything's cool.
18:57You okay?
18:58Yeah, I, um, I said that I would help out here.
19:01Just with shells and stuff and stacking, I promise, Cassandra.
19:05Oh, that's nice.
19:06Well, I just, uh, I've just been really busy with this and that.
19:10You know, I just don't have a lot of time for the, the work here.
19:14Todd.
19:15Remember what we spoke about?
19:17Breathe.
19:18Just.
19:25Should I start with those?
19:29Uh, yes, uh, Brie will help you.
19:31Brie, um, can you get Todd started?
19:33I'll just be a minute.
19:36I'm so happy you're here.
19:37Yeah, I promise, you know.
19:42You two know each other.
19:44I was visiting a patient of mine a while back, and Todd came into emergency with chest pains
19:50and, and dizziness, and they thought he was having a heart attack, but I took a second look.
19:55Uh, Todd told me a doctor diagnosed him with a panic disorder.
20:00Add autism spectrum disorder to the mix.
20:02Mm, that's tough.
20:03Yeah.
20:04Well, I found a grant, job training.
20:06Hopefully that'll help.
20:08Well, uh, it well may.
20:11Uh, but if I could just recommend...
20:13Please.
20:15There's a good chance that he's never actually held down a job.
20:18So, just ease him in slowly, and, and, and don't expect...
20:23Uh, I imagine he's terrified of disappointing you.
20:30Uh, there are medications that could help.
20:32Um, does he have a family doctor?
20:35I don't think so.
20:37Okay, well, send him by my office.
20:39We'll take care of him.
20:40Christy.
20:44Oh, of course.
20:45Uh, see you at seven o'clock in chamber this evening.
20:50Oh, yeah.
20:55Still no ransom call on Benji.
20:57Been nearly three hours.
21:00Doesn't make any sense.
21:01Paulina was blindfolded.
21:03Her hand's tied behind her back.
21:04She was left in the car.
21:05Her kidnappers let her get away, so it's like she didn't matter to them.
21:08Well, it's all about Benji.
21:09Why call Paulina's family for ransom money?
21:11Hang on.
21:12I don't know what this is, but this is not just an abduction.
21:15Boss, it's Clyburn.
21:16She thinks she found the place where the kids are being held.
21:19Alberg here.
21:19Doc, what do you got?
21:20Paulina was right.
21:21It used to be a store.
21:23The building's empty now on Halverson Road, six blocks from the mill.
21:27Local techs are dusting for prints.
21:30They held the boy in the front, and the girl in the back.
21:34Cannappers, they leave anything behind?
21:36Not that I can tell.
21:37But Benji left his toy.
21:44Chief Alberg!
21:46It just started ringing.
21:51Answer it.
21:53Hello?
21:55Hello, Mr. Norwood, and whoever else is listening.
21:59This is Chief Alberg.
22:00Before this goes any further, we need proof of life.
22:03I want to talk to Benji.
22:04Proof of life?
22:05Fair enough?
22:10Benji!
22:11Benji!
22:11It's Dad!
22:11It's going to be okay!
22:12Okay, we're going to come!
22:13I need you to stay calm.
22:14Please.
22:16Okay?
22:20What do you want?
22:22You have to make up for the girls, so the price is double.
22:24Half a million.
22:25The old distillery in Feller Cove, three hours.
22:34We'll get the money.
22:36I know this doesn't feel like it, but this is a positive development.
22:40Okay?
22:41I'll be right back.
22:42Full perimeter around Feller Cove.
22:48Let me know what it's set up.
22:49Copy that, Sarge.
22:5075 miles.
22:51Most of the skies are all over the place.
22:53Look at this.
22:54What do you see?
22:55Looks like he's in some kind of garage.
22:56Biggie's face.
22:58He looks calm, which is strange, given what he's been through.
23:00Maybe they drugged him.
23:01Or maybe he knows his characters.
23:04Layla, shift gears.
23:05I need you to focus on neighbors, friends, schools.
23:09You need to retrace Benji and Paulina's routine.
23:12We're looking for somebody Benji's familiar with.
23:14Sid, check in with Clyburn and see if the techs come up with anything at the store.
23:18Got it.
23:23Sarge?
23:24I think I got something.
23:27This is A1 Pizza, where Benji and Paulina were abducted.
23:30The security camera footage came in.
23:32This is from last week.
23:37Pause it right there.
23:38Can you zoom in on that?
23:39Yep.
23:42That's the same toy Clyburn found at the store.
23:45Here's the other angle.
23:47His name's Wayne Foulkes.
23:48He's the pie man.
23:49And the manager said that he called in sick the last couple days.
23:54Nicely done.
23:55I'll tell the boss.
23:55Okay.
23:56No, enough of this.
24:00It's time to roll.
24:01It's too dangerous, why?
24:03Because I said so.
24:04What about the drop?
24:06Oh, it's too risky.
24:07Be right back.
24:08Okay, bye.
24:09Okay, bye.
24:11Hey, uh, what's happening?
24:13I'm not gonna do the drop.
24:14Too many eyes, not enough time.
24:16We're gonna move on to the main event now.
24:17What about Benji?
24:22What about him?
24:34Oh.
24:35Happens to me, too.
24:36It's okay.
24:36It's a hazard of the job.
24:38Which book?
24:40King Arthur, right?
24:42Hmm.
24:43Nor ever yet had Arthur fought a fight like this last dim, weird battle of the West.
24:49Tennyson, I wrote a term paper in college.
24:52Oh.
24:53Wow.
24:54You like it?
24:55Well, probably not as much as you do.
24:57I have to go to town council, so when you're done with those, I think you're finished by the day.
25:01Uh, Cassandra, um, I, uh, you know, I, I screw things up.
25:12No, you don't.
25:13Not today.
25:14Tell my parents that.
25:16They around?
25:17Your parents?
25:20Uh, my mom is in Boston, MIT, math department, and my dad is an engineer, but we don't see eye to eye on things.
25:31And so I was staying with my brother up the coast a little bit, but he went away to work on the rigs, so here I am.
25:39I like it in Gibsons, though.
25:42Mostly.
25:44I like it here.
25:50Uh, anyway.
25:53Uh, tomorrow, then, yeah?
25:54Yeah.
25:55Come whenever you want, and, look, if you're doing something that you don't like, just let me know.
26:01And we'll find something else.
26:02Deal?
26:03Okay.
26:03Okay.
26:04Deal.
26:07No movement on the drop site.
26:09No phone call.
26:11I miss drop, it's usually bad news.
26:13It's not good, but it's not over.
26:15Unis went to Wayne Folks' house.
26:16Looked like he packed up.
26:18Long gone.
26:19We put a bolo out.
26:20All these locations on this map, what's it look like to you?
26:24Double-eyed buckshot?
26:24Uh, it's just random.
26:37Stochastic art.
26:39Sto-to-who-what?
26:41Seemingly random strokes and points doesn't look like much until you step back and see it, the whole picture.
26:47But he's not the target.
26:49He's collateral damage.
26:50So they're after something else?
26:51This is just a distraction.
26:53But from what?
26:54Worst case scenario, a terrorist attack.
26:57More likely some sort of heist.
27:00I need two lists.
27:01Possible targets for each.
27:09Ah.
27:10Something wrong?
27:11Have you read this?
27:12I read Christy's summary.
27:14Entire sections are gone.
27:16Really?
27:17Everyone, meetings upstairs in ten minutes.
27:20Christy.
27:22Minor tweaks.
27:24This eviscerates social spending.
27:26Housing, support groups, mental health.
27:29No one else had a problem with it.
27:30Yeah, no one else has read it.
27:33Well, there are many, many difficult decisions to be made, but we preserve the truly essential items.
27:39The police budget.
27:40Carl will be relieved.
27:41We had an agreement.
27:44I know that these programs are near and dear to you, Cassie.
27:48But I was elected on a growth platform, and infrastructure money has to come from somewhere.
27:53Because you lied to me.
27:54You lied to me.
27:55To my face.
27:58Do you know why people vote for me, Cassie?
28:03Because I can make difficult decisions.
28:05Mm-hmm.
28:06And why do you think they voted for me?
28:10Well, I think you'll find that the rest of the council is with me.
28:16Six banks in Gibson's, a couple dozen over all across the Sunshine Coast in jewelry stores.
28:20Chief, Doc Clyburn just called.
28:23They found prints in the store where the kids were held.
28:25They got a hit.
28:26On it.
28:27Donovan Hurst, from Boulder City, Nevada.
28:33He did five years for armed robbery, a bank in Des Moines, released in 2024.
28:37He was also believed to be connected to earlier bank jobs in New Mexico and Idaho, but nothing on this level of complexity.
28:44According to his record, Hurst is nothing but a thug.
28:46Maybe it's something he was building up to.
28:48He did just have five years worth of time on his hands.
28:51Or was he working with someone else?
28:52Someone smart.
28:53Maybe someone he might imprison.
28:56Let's drill down into Donovan Hurst.
28:58I'll check his socials.
29:05Okay, I'm here.
29:06All right.
29:07Let me know if anything changes.
29:10Babe, we can do this.
29:13Of course we can.
29:13Next thing you know, we'll be on that beach.
29:16Trouble's behind it.
29:17Yeah.
29:22He's just a little kid.
29:24What do we do?
29:25We can't just leave him here.
29:26Well, only other option.
29:28I shot him.
29:29Oh, my gosh.
29:44Look at all this stuff.
29:48Is that the Lundy painting?
29:51It is, yeah.
29:52Smaller than I thought.
29:57So, this is the Gibsons Club.
30:02You know, I have lived here my whole life,
30:04and I have never been inside.
30:09That's the Mirren Collection.
30:11I hear it's worth millions.
30:12Yes, it's stunning.
30:13So you've really never been here?
30:15It's not surprising.
30:19I wouldn't join a club if they had me as a member.
30:23Someone said that once.
30:24I can't really remember.
30:25I think it was one of the Marx Brothers.
30:26Ah, I think you're right.
30:28It was Zappo or Harpo, or maybe it was Carl.
30:32Sorry, I babble when I'm nervous.
30:34I'm sure you've picked up on that already.
30:37You're doing great.
30:38Thanks.
30:38Hello.
30:39Would you like some champagne?
30:40Oh, yes, please.
30:43Enjoy your evening.
30:44Cheers.
30:49Christy and I, uh, Mayor Holman,
30:52sat down last week to talk through our priorities,
30:54and I thought that we'd had a meeting of minds.
30:59And then an hour ago, I get this new budget
31:03with Christy's minor tweaks.
31:07Mayor Holman insists that this isn't personal,
31:10and she's right.
31:11It doesn't matter if I feel hoodwinked.
31:12That's politics.
31:14But what does matter, first and foremost,
31:16is that I am a resident of Gibson's.
31:18I am a member of this community.
31:20And as that person,
31:22I cannot live with the priorities of this new budget,
31:25with its minor tweaks,
31:27and its pandering to developers.
31:30So I am voting no.
31:31I can live with the duplicity,
31:36with the broken promises,
31:37but I can't live with this vision for our community.
31:43How about you?
31:45Is anyone as disgusted as I am?
31:47Six banks, three jewelry stores,
32:00spot on standby, no movement.
32:02See?
32:03I checked Hearst's online presence.
32:04There wasn't much.
32:05But you did get married six years ago.
32:08Vegas wedding posted photos.
32:09Stop.
32:15That's Curtis Penner.
32:17He said put out a bolo.
32:23You ready?
32:24Yeah, yeah.
32:25Let's go.
32:31I think you should bid on the net close.
32:33Okay.
32:34Everybody down!
32:37On the floor!
32:38Now!
32:38Hands where I can see him!
32:41You!
32:42Drop it!
32:42Drop it!
32:42Now!
32:44Gun down!
32:45Now!
32:46On the ground!
32:47You heard the man!
32:48Hands where I can see him!
32:49Ruth, stay down!
32:52Four to two against?
32:54Four of us?
32:56Did you see the look on Holden's face?
32:58Well, what happens now?
33:00We'll figure it out.
33:01Gonna hand it to you, Lee.
33:02You may be new to politics, but that was one stem-winder of a speech.
33:06Well, Sean, Willa, congratulations.
33:15I did what I thought was right.
33:16And I'm sure it felt terrific.
33:19Up there, center stage, being right.
33:22Christy, I'm still willing to work with you.
33:23Just revamp the budget, we take another vote.
33:26In due time.
33:27But in the meantime, the budget is frozen, thanks to you.
33:32There's no money for anything.
33:33Not the arts, not social services, not development.
33:37Oh, and there's no extra funding for the police.
33:40Perhaps you'll let Carl know that.
33:42Don't move!
33:50Nice and calm now.
33:51You, Gurley, take that bag.
33:53Load it up with jewelry.
33:54Every piece you can get in there.
33:55Go, go.
33:56Nice and calm.
33:57Stay down.
33:58Stay down.
34:05Phyllis, oh my God, you're not going to believe it.
34:07You, stay down.
34:09Right down on your knees.
34:09Phyllis?
34:10Hello?
34:11Stay down.
34:12Nice and calm.
34:13Hey!
34:14Drop it on the table!
34:15On the table!
34:16On the table.
34:17On the table.
34:19Get down.
34:19Move again and bleed.
34:25Hey, you.
34:26It's not a good time.
34:27I've got to call you back.
34:27Carl, there is something happening at the Gibson's Club.
34:29It's a charity auction.
34:31Phyllis just called me and I heard screaming.
34:33It's the Gibson's Club.
34:34Go.
34:35Yes, sir.
34:35All units to get to the club.
34:37Go, go, go.
34:38You good?
34:39Yeah, yeah, good, good, good.
34:41You.
34:42That painting right there.
34:43Grab that painting.
34:44Right there.
34:46Move.
34:47Stay down.
34:53Are you okay?
34:56Wait.
35:00What the hell?
35:02It was a liability.
35:03You had to go.
35:04Come on.
35:05Let's go.
35:11We've got to move quick.
35:13We don't even wait.
35:13Harris, it's over.
35:14Drop the weapon.
35:15Get on your knees.
35:16Get on your knees.
35:17Back up.
35:18Stay down.
35:19Hands behind your back.
35:20Behind your back.
35:21Drop it.
35:22Sit.
35:22Gun.
35:27Dispatch, this is Phillips.
35:29We have combed forward at the Gibson's Club.
35:30Two suspects down.
35:31Send the ambulances.
35:32Where's the kid?
35:38Huh?
35:38Where's Benji?
35:39Stay with me.
35:41Can I help?
35:42Keep breathing.
35:43Keep breathing.
35:44Look at me.
35:46Where's the kid?
35:47Stay with me.
35:48Stay with me.
35:48Stay with me.
35:48Your wife was taken to the hospital.
36:00I'm sorry she didn't make it.
36:07The boy, Hurst.
36:10Immunity.
36:11At least tell me the boy's still alive.
36:15We found a dead crew member in the club.
36:18Wayne Folks.
36:18Stooge you picked up on account of his relationship to the boy.
36:23My bet his forensics matches the bullet that killed him to your gun.
36:27That's felony murder.
36:29Abduction.
36:30Armed robbery.
36:32You're looking at 20 years minimum.
36:35And at Benji's dead.
36:37Immunity.
36:38I'll get Curtis Penner to cooperate.
36:42He's the brains of the operation, isn't he?
36:47Boss.
36:48We just picked up Penner.
36:49He was making a run for the ferry.
36:51Immunity.
36:52Boy goes home tonight to his folks.
36:55Boy's still alive.
36:59This is outrageous!
37:00Where's Benji?
37:01I had nothing to do with that.
37:03We have Hurst in custody.
37:05It's now or never.
37:06If you want to be the first to talk,
37:07if something happens to that boy,
37:08I swear you'll never see the light of day.
37:13There's a farmhouse.
37:15In Portbuss Bay.
37:16North of here.
37:17I caught on fire on the feast day of St. Matthew.
37:24I caught on fire on the feast day of St. Matthew.
37:54Oh, I live another life.
37:56Reggie, come here, sweetie.
37:59Oh, my God.
38:00Oh, my God.
38:03I'm looking.
38:05I live another life in my head.
38:11I live another life in my head.
38:16You live another life in my head.
38:22Hey.
38:24I'm just writing my statement, Sarge, while it's fresh.
38:31That was a justifiable use of force.
38:33You did exactly what I would have done.
38:37Okay.
38:39As awful as it is, you did your job.
38:43And you saved my life.
38:46This is just a formality.
38:52I'll get you a ride home when you're done.
38:54No, no, I can drive myself, Sarge.
38:56Not tonight.
38:58She needs someone to talk to.
39:01All right.
39:04Just tired.
39:06All right.
39:11Let me hear if you need me.
39:13Why is it after midnight?
39:32Dad, I'm kind of stuck.
39:34I need a ride.
39:35What's wrong, sweetheart?
39:36I'm at a party.
39:37Don't have a fit.
39:39Some people I met, older kids, they offered me a ride.
39:42Now I'm all to hell and gone up at Pseudo.
39:45Pseudo Lake?
39:46Yeah.
39:46Could you just come and get me, please?
39:48Because they're getting out of hand.
39:49Yeah, yeah, yeah.
39:51Just hang tight.
39:52I'm on my way.
39:57Hey, your uncle was a great help today.
40:00Thank you for me.
40:01Oh, I will.
40:02I'm sure he's going to be talking about this one for years.
40:05I just wish that I had been there.
40:07There's so much more I could have done.
40:08Well, you'll have plenty of opportunity for self-recrimination
40:11when you're a public defender.
40:13Actually, I've been thinking about pulling my law school applications.
40:17Why?
40:20I've been attending these pre-selection seminars,
40:24and they're just, they're intense.
40:26The students, they're all these hardcore type A's,
40:29and I read slower, and I need time to process things,
40:33and I'm just not sure I'm cut out for it.
40:38Isabella, you have more heart and dedication than anybody I know.
40:44Please see this through.
40:44Just think of all the lies you're going to change.
40:49Breaking news.
40:51Gibson's counselors reject Mayor Holman's proposed town budget
40:54by a 4-3 margin.
40:55All town spending is now frozen until the counselors can find a resolution.
40:59You hadn't heard?
41:00No, it's far from ideal.
