00:00Describe today. One word.
00:05Oh, not that game again.
00:08Wednesday.
00:09Oh, good one, Hallberg.
00:10Oh, it's better than Monday.
00:11Budget.
00:13That's my word.
00:15Votes tonight.
00:16You ready?
00:18I got some of what I wanted.
00:19Christy got some of what she wanted.
00:21End of the day, I can live with it.
00:23There's a 30% increase to police funding.
00:25Five new officers so that you can solve everyone's crimes
00:29without killing yourself.
00:32Don't get so emotional.
00:33Well, no, it's just, uh...
00:35Finally.
00:39Really need this budget to pass.
00:40It will.
00:42I was the last holdout, and I'm on board now, so...
00:49It was never personal.
00:51Not between you and me.
00:53Yeah, well...
00:55Thank you, anyway.
00:56Just...
00:59Ready?
01:15Let's do it.
01:15Ready?
01:19Yeah, I just pulled up to the clinic.
01:21Did you?
01:21Yes, you don't have to keep checking up on me.
01:25We'll be getting old, but I can still tell a doctor.
01:27It's hard to pee.
01:28P-M-I, Uncle Fred.
01:35There they are.
01:36Let's do it.
01:38I'm so hungry.
01:40I'll leave you a crap.
01:43Now, let's go.
01:44Stop right there.
01:46Hey, hey.
01:48Hey.
01:48Hey, get in.
01:52No, no, no, no, no.
01:53Hey, hey.
01:54Close it up.
01:55Close it up.
01:59Stop!
02:01Uncle Fred?
02:02What is it?
02:03What's happening?
02:04Isabella, you are not going to believe it.
02:13That's the way you saw the van go?
02:15East, yeah.
02:16All went down pretty fast.
02:18Let's go over it again.
02:19Tell me what you saw.
02:20Three guys, one driving.
02:22Two guys jumped out.
02:23Black ski mask.
02:25Blue coveralls.
02:27Average height, average weight.
02:28Drove up, grabbed the kids and took off.
02:30I tried to take a pick, but they were too fast.
02:32I'll go talk to the pizza guy.
02:34I got a bolo out on the van and units heading for the ferry.
02:37Good thing you were here.
02:38I just got to tail end.
02:39Pretty scary.
02:40I need an official statement.
02:42I'll call you later for that.
02:42Let's barricade the lot for evidence.
02:45Station units up and down the coast, no more than 10 miles apart.
02:48We don't have enough people for that.
02:50We'll improvise.
02:51Call the fire department.
02:54The pizza joint has three cameras.
02:56The manager is sending over the footage.
02:57Good.
02:58The little boy is Benji.
02:59The girl is Paulina, the babysitter.
03:01They eat here almost every day.
03:04Let's grab CCTV footage of all the establishments in the area.
03:07What's with all the sirens, Dantone?
03:21I'm not sure.
03:22Carl got a call and away you went.
03:25Someone said there was an abduction.
03:27God, I hope not.
03:29Flowers?
03:30It's just something I'm looking into.
03:33I'm going to go to the police station.
03:34It won't be very long.
03:35If Todd shows up before I get back...
03:40He's an hour late.
03:41He practically lived at the library, but now that he works here...
03:44He is here two afternoons a week helping out.
03:48Maybe we could use the grant money to fix the Wi-Fi instead.
03:52I mean, you could call him if he had a phone, but...
03:54Bree?
03:56Yes, this might be a challenge.
03:58Fine.
03:59It's hard to help people who don't want to be helped.
04:05Just saying.
04:09Benji's a quiet kid, but he lights up when Paulina's around.
04:12Does she always pick him up from school?
04:14Every day.
04:15For the past two years, she takes him for a snack or to soccer practice and then right home.
04:19So what happens next?
04:21You know, you have no idea where they could be?
04:23Most abductions involve family members.
04:25Any ongoing disputes in yours, Mr. Norwood?
04:28No, no.
04:29Nobody like that.
04:30An associate, maybe.
04:31You own close canning.
04:32You hire a lot of people.
04:33You must fire a few.
04:37In a hostage situation, every second counts.
04:40We let one of our managers go.
04:42Six months ago.
04:43Curtis Penner.
04:44He threatened me.
04:46Threatened you?
04:46How?
04:47He said, I'll get what's coming to me.
04:49That kind of thing.
04:49I mean, he was upset, so I didn't really think much of it at the time.
04:52He was nice enough, usually extremely smart.
04:57Just his people skills.
05:00They're not going to hurt them, are they?
05:05We'll do everything we can.
05:07Meantime, stay here.
05:08Make sure your phones are charged.
05:10Kidnappers will make contact soon.
05:12Oh, my God.
05:13I have an officer just outside the door, okay?
05:15I'll be right back.
05:18Oh.
05:22Turns out Paulina Rauch isn't your typical au pair.
05:24Her dad builds custom speedboats.
05:26So she could have been the target.
05:27Absolutely.
05:29Tracked down to Curtis Penner.
05:30Used to work for the Norwoods.
05:32They let him go six months ago.
05:33Okay.
05:34Paulina's mom's in the interview room.
05:40Hey, Dad.
05:42Soph, what are you doing here?
05:43Liza was supposed to walk me home from hockey.
05:45She never showed up.
05:47So I came to see you.
05:48That's great, sweetheart.
05:51Give me a minute, and I'll give you a ride home.
05:54I can take her home, Sarge.
05:56No, no, no.
05:57I'll just...
05:57No, that's okay.
05:58I got it.
05:58You focus on the case.
06:00We might be able to grab a milkshake at the drive-thru,
06:03if that's okay with you.
06:04Totally.
06:05And you?
06:07No problem.
06:08Let me grab my purse.
06:09Bye, Dad.
06:10See you later, sweetheart.
06:11Bye.
06:11Bye.
06:11Bye.
06:11Bye.
06:11Bye.
06:11Bye.
06:11Bye.
06:12Bye.
06:12Bye.
06:12Bye.
06:12Bye.
06:12Bye.
06:13Bye.
06:14Bye.
06:15Bye.
06:15Bye.
06:16Bye.
06:16Bye.
06:17Bye.
06:18I got this.
06:27Hey, Xandra.
06:27Hi.
06:28You're here to the chief?
06:29Yeah, I was.
06:31I ran across something.
06:34I know this is a weird ask,
06:36and it isn't urgent.
06:37I probably shouldn't bother you with this at all.
06:40In Shanner's Nightshade?
06:41Yeah.
06:42It symbolizes vengeance.
06:44I keep coming across this flower at different memorial sites.
06:47I got curious.
06:48I got curious.
06:48Just tell me it's a coincidence.
06:51Okay.
06:52I'll take a look into it.
06:59The babysitting.
07:00My husband hates it.
07:02He thinks Paulina should be getting ready for college,
07:04but she loves that little boy.
07:06Your husband?
07:07Where is he now?
07:08He's in Portland.
07:09On business.
07:10I called him.
07:11He's horrified, and he's on the next plane home.
07:14Anyone have a beef with you?
07:16With your husband?
07:17With your daughter?
07:18No.
07:19She's a wonderful girl.
07:22Who would do this?
07:23CCTV footage matches the description of a van stolen in Olympia a few months back.
07:29Call Olympia police, see what they have.
07:31Any sightings?
07:32Multiple.
07:32In all directions.
07:33People keep calling, but nothing checks out yet.
07:35Let's expand roadblocks north and south.
07:38Yes, sir.
07:38It's been two hours.
07:40They could be anywhere.
07:41Keep on the footage.
07:41Maybe there's video of them casing the pizza joint.
07:44Will do.
07:45How's the family?
07:46Frantic.
07:47My gut is they're not involved with the kidnapping, but...
07:49What?
07:53Busy location.
07:54Broad daylight.
07:56A lot harder than picking somebody off a side street.
07:58Both the boy and the sitter.
08:00Chief.
08:01Kidnapper's on with Ms. Rouch.
08:06What's a quarter of a million dollars?
08:07Where?
08:08Ellington Park.
08:09It's 20 miles northeast.
08:10Set up a perimeter.
08:11All access roads make it discreet.
08:13Okay.
08:14Ready?
08:15I'm here.
08:20Hello to any police that may be listening.
08:23I also want an additional $250,000 in hundreds for the boy.
08:28Bring it to the grain silo on rural road 7 in Claymore.
08:31You have in one hour.
08:33Do as I say, or the boy dies.
08:35But my daughter.
08:36I see cops.
08:37Your daughter's dead too.
08:40Oh.
08:41All right.
08:42We're gonna bring your daughter home, okay?
08:45Yeah, my word.
09:00Brett?
09:01I made that chicken casserole, honey.
09:04I've got a budget meeting tonight.
09:05I'm sorry it's in work.
09:09Did you email your teachers about your homework?
09:12I made that chicken casserole, honey.
09:13I made that chicken casserole.
09:13I made that chicken casserole.
09:15Brett.
09:17I am so fed up with this.
09:20You are going to school tomorrow.
09:22I hate the place, and they hate me.
09:24They don't hate you, sweetheart.
09:27But you can't just lie around here all day hiding.
09:30You have exams coming up.
09:32You're gonna lose the whole year.
09:33So I lose the year.
09:35What do you want?
09:36Do you want to drop out?
09:38And get a job doing what?
09:40Don't know.
09:41Well, you have to know.
09:42You have to think about it.
09:43You have to be logical.
09:43Be smart about it.
09:44I want you to leave me alone!
09:50Oh, that wasn't very smart of me, was it?
09:52I want you to leave me alone.
10:02I want you to leave me alone.
10:03Mom?
10:04I've been here.
10:07What happened?
10:08Never mind.
10:10Thank you for coming.
10:11I've got a bunch of you to eat tonight.
10:15Oven's preheated.
10:16You can put the casserole in for an hour.
10:18Have you called me over to babysit?
10:21I am not comfortable leaving Brett alone.
10:24Family first, as always.
10:26Mom.
10:28Holman Developments.
10:30I know, sweetheart.
10:31I know.
10:32You can work from here.
10:33Just don't use my computer.
10:36This is like a ten-bell fire.
10:39I think fires only have five bells.
10:41I don't think you understand.
10:43The budget has to pass.
10:44Without roads, without infrastructure, we won't be able to break ground.
10:48I understand.
10:50I won't accept it.
10:51I've been emailing you all day.
10:53Would you stop emailing?
10:55My God!
10:59I am so sorry.
11:00I'm sorry.
11:02Robert and I stepped up when you needed us.
11:06We are running your company.
11:08I know.
11:09I'm so sorry.
11:11I'm sorry.
11:11I'm sorry.
11:12I'm sorry I love you, okay?
11:16We're monitoring all roads in and out of Ellington.
11:19In Claymore?
11:20They're good to go to, Chief.
11:21It's been over an hour.
11:22Still nothing on the routes front.
11:24All units, stay back from the drop sites.
11:26You see anything, report immediately.
11:28Don't move until I say so.
11:29Droppers on standby.
11:30Swat, too.
11:33Two drop sites, 40 miles apart.
11:35Yeah, one doesn't pan out.
11:37They got the other one.
11:38Double the risk.
11:39Chief.
11:39Curtis Penner, interview room.
11:43All the folks said anything changes.
11:45Come get me.
11:48This one says contemporary and confident, right?
11:52This one says mysterious and honore.
11:57They're both great.
11:59Yeah, but what I really need is one to say not nervous as hell that this is a blind date
12:02and the first date that I've had in five years.
12:04Oh, my gosh.
12:05You have to help me.
12:06He's taking me to the silent auction thing tonight at the Gibsons Club.
12:09And he's the new hospital administrator.
12:12Oh, I mean, I could get laid and have free health care for life.
12:17Go with the black.
12:18It's classic.
12:20You were just saying that.
12:21The white, then.
12:23No.
12:25Black.
12:26Mysterious.
12:27There you go.
12:27I was glad to help.
12:28Okay, okay.
12:29Now you have to help me pick shoes and earrings.
12:30I have at least six different pairs.
12:32Do we like the straps?
12:36How do we feel?
12:38Cats.
12:38No, uh, yeah.
12:40They're good.
12:40They're good.
12:41Great.
12:41Looks great.
12:42Perfect.
12:44Curtis Penner.
12:46The Norwoods let you go six months ago.
12:48Why?
12:50They called it a bad fit.
12:52What would you call it?
12:54The difference in priorities.
12:56The Norwoods said you threatened them.
12:58I spoke in anger, yes?
13:00I was upset, but I've moved on.
13:03So you're working now.
13:05You're still unemployed.
13:07It's tough.
13:08I have a very specialized skill set.
13:11I'm selective.
13:11That's not a crime.
13:14Why am I here?
13:15The boy?
13:16I heard it on the radio.
13:18If I'd abducted him, I wouldn't be sitting here, would I?
13:22Look, I don't like the Norwoods, but I'm not a monster.
13:25Benji is a nice kid.
13:27I hope you find him.
13:27Well, where were you earlier today?
13:32Helping my neighbor with her taxes.
13:35I hear you're good with numbers.
13:38Just, uh, knock over the people.
13:41I find most people are overrated.
13:43Police officer, we'll see you out.
13:53Case in point.
13:55Sarge?
13:57You're not going to believe this.
13:58A call just came in.
13:59She says she's Paulina Rouch.
14:05Paulina, this is Sergeant Sokolowski.
14:06Where are you?
14:07Morrow Point.
14:08I'm in Morrow Point, outside the gas station.
14:10Gas station in Morrow Point.
14:11Closest car in an ambulance.
14:13Locking down the area.
14:14Paulina, we got people on the way.
14:15What I need you to do right now is I need you to get off this phone and go hide somewhere.
14:19Listen for the sirens.
14:20We're less than five minutes out.
14:21Can you do that for me?
14:22Please, hurry.
14:23All right, go now.
14:25Tell the chief.
14:26Okay.
14:27So, where is she?
14:30Okay, I got there a little bit late.
14:33Someone said that she came here.
14:34We're dealing with a violent abduction and two innocent kids.
14:37Yeah, I know that.
14:38And you can't be bothered.
14:39Your own little sister.
14:40I just said I...
14:41What the hell's wrong with you?
14:44I don't have time for this.
14:46I don't know if she's gone.
15:06That needed to happen, my humble opinion.
15:10I'm her dad, Izzy.
15:14She'll survive.
15:16Once I freed my hands, I opened the door and I just ran.
15:25Oh, my God.
15:26Benji's going to be so terrified.
15:28You're going to help us find him.
15:30I need you to breathe.
15:34Tell me everything you remember.
15:41We were together in the van.
15:44We rode for a while, and then we stopped, and they took us inside.
15:51Somewhere.
15:52They?
15:53Two of them.
15:54I was blindfolded.
15:55I never saw faces.
15:57And Benji was with you?
16:01He was crying.
16:04We took him to a different room.
16:05The place where they held you.
16:08Any details help?
16:11It was big, I think.
16:15It smelled like potatoes.
16:17Like musty, stale potatoes.
16:20The whole area.
16:22And I heard a bell.
16:24Like a church bell?
16:25No, like a store when you go in.
16:27And then they took me out again.
16:29With Benji?
16:30Just me.
16:31They put me in a car.
16:33We drove for a while.
16:35And then it stopped.
16:37And the man got out.
16:39I don't know where he went, but this was my chance.
16:41I used my feet to open the door, and I just ran.
16:46That's my girl.
16:48I think I'm looking for you.
16:50If he did, I didn't see him.
16:52The man who took you.
16:54Can you describe him to me?
16:56No.
16:57It all happened so fast.
16:59I was...
17:00What is it?
17:04His hand.
17:05The man who blindfolded me.
17:06There was a scar on his wrist like a burn.
17:08V-shaped, poking out of his cuff.
17:11I never should have left Benji.
17:12You have to find Benji.
17:14I'm supposed to take care of him.
17:16You did the right thing.
17:17Hey.
17:18You're an incredibly brave young woman.
17:21And we are going to find him.
17:30Stale potatoes?
17:31That's what she said.
17:32I worked in a cedar mill summers when I was in high school.
17:35Fresh-cut yellow cedar smells like stale potatoes.
17:38What is it nearest?
17:39Porpoise Bay.
17:41Mill has shut down for years, but it's up and running now.
17:44Kid might be held in an abandoned retail space in the area.
17:47Larkin's based there.
17:48Get him on it.
17:49Larkin's up in Ellington right now.
17:50Doc Clyburn's in Porpoise Bay.
17:51Have her do it.
17:52She's not a cop?
17:53All hands on deck.
17:54Okay.
17:56Call the Department of Corrections.
17:57Have them run their database.
17:59Paulina said her kidnapper had a V-shaped burn scar.
18:02Right wrist.
18:04You might get lucky.
18:05Ah, Cassandra.
18:14Hard at work.
18:15Christy?
18:15You know, I really should come in here more often.
18:18All these curious minds in various states of osmosis.
18:22How can I help?
18:23Task at hand, yes.
18:25Okay, so, the final, final draft of the budget.
18:30Staff just put it out.
18:31Yeah, I got a notification on my email.
18:33Dismiss at final, final.
18:35I just want to give you a heads up that there are some minor tweaks.
18:40Uh, purely cosmetic.
18:41Nothing that would alter the spirit of our discussion.
18:45We're voting tonight.
18:46Yeah, well, this is your first budget, so you will see that this is very common practice
18:51to hone the rough edges.
18:54I just, I just didn't want you to feel blindsided.
18:58Cassandra.
18:59Todd.
19:00Hey.
19:00I was getting worried.
19:01No, it's cool.
19:02Every, uh, everything's cool.
19:04You okay?
19:05Yeah, I, um, I said that I would help out here, just with shelves and stuff and stacking,
19:11I promise, Cassandra.
19:12Oh, that's nice.
19:13Well, I just, uh, I've just been really busy with this and that.
19:16You know, I just don't have a lot of time for the, the work here.
19:20Scott.
19:22Remember what we spoke about?
19:24Breathe.
19:25Just.
19:35Should I start with those?
19:36Uh, yes.
19:37Bri will help you.
19:38Bri, um, can you get Todd started?
19:40I'll just be a minute.
19:43I'm so happy you're here.
19:44Yeah, I promise, you know.
19:46All right.
19:49You two know each other.
19:50I was visiting a patient of mine a while back, and Todd came into emergency with chest pains
19:56and, and, and dizziness, and they thought he was having a heart attack, but I took a second
20:02look.
20:02Yeah, Todd told me a doctor diagnosed him with a panic disorder.
20:07Add autism spectrum disorder to the mix.
20:09Mm, that's tough.
20:09Yeah, well, I found a grant, job training.
20:13Hopefully that'll help.
20:15Well, uh, it well may.
20:17Uh, but if I could just recommend, please, there's a good chance that he's never actually
20:23held down a job, so just ease him in slowly and, and, and don't expect, uh, I imagine he's
20:34terrified of disappointing you.
20:37Uh, there are medications that could help.
20:39Um, does he have a family doctor?
20:42I don't think so.
20:43Okay, well, send him by my office.
20:46We'll take care of him.
20:47Christy.
20:51Oh, of course.
20:52Uh, see you at seven o'clock in chamber this evening.
20:55Still no ransom call on Benji.
21:04Been nearly three hours?
21:07Doesn't make any sense.
21:08Paulina was blindfolded.
21:09Her hand's tied behind her back.
21:11She was left in the car.
21:12Her kidnappers let her get away, so it's like she didn't matter to them.
21:15Well, it's all about Benji.
21:16Why call Paulina's family for ransom money?
21:18Hang on.
21:19I don't know what this is, but this is not just an abduction.
21:21Boss, it's Clyburn.
21:22She thinks she found the place where the kids are being held.
21:24Ahlberg here.
21:26Doc, what do you got?
21:27Paulina was right.
21:28It used to be a store.
21:30The building's empty now on Halverson Road, six blocks from the mill.
21:34Local techs are dusting for prints.
21:36They held the boy in the front and the girl in the back.
21:40The kidnappers, they leave anything behind?
21:43Not that I can tell, but Benji left his toy.
21:50Chief Ahlberg?
21:53It just started ringing.
21:54Answer.
22:00Hello.
22:01Hello, Mr. Norwood.
22:03And whoever else is listening.
22:06This is Chief Ahlberg.
22:07Before this goes any further, we need proof of life.
22:10I want to talk to Benji.
22:11Proof of life?
22:12Fair enough.
22:17Benji! Benji!
22:18It's Dad!
22:18It's gonna be okay!
22:19Okay, we're gonna go...
22:19I need you to stay calm, please.
22:23Okay?
22:27What do you want?
22:28You have to make up for the girls, so the price is double.
22:31Half a million.
22:32The old distillery in Feller Cove, three hours.
22:40We'll get the money.
22:41I know this doesn't feel like it, but this is a positive development.
22:47Okay?
22:48I'll be right back.
22:54Full perimeter around Feller Cove.
22:55Let me know what it's set up.
22:56Copy that, Sarge.
22:5775 miles.
22:58Most of those guys are all over the place.
22:59Look at this.
23:00What do you see?
23:01Looks like he's in some kind of garage.
23:03Benji's face.
23:04He looks calm, which is strange given when he's been through.
23:07Maybe they drugged him.
23:08Or maybe he knows his characters.
23:11Layla, shift gears.
23:12I need you to focus on neighbors, friends, schools.
23:16You need to retrace Benji and Paulina's routine.
23:18We're looking for somebody Benji's familiar with.
23:21Sid, check in with Clyburn, see if the techs come up with anything at the store.
23:25Got it.
23:27Uh, Sarge?
23:30Uh, I think I got something.
23:34This is A1 Pizza, where Benji and Paulina were abducted.
23:37The security camera footage came in.
23:38This is from last week.
23:43Posit right there.
23:45Can you zoom in on that?
23:46Yeah.
23:49That's the same toy Clyburn found at the store.
23:52Here's the other angle.
23:54His name's Wayne Foulkes.
23:55He's the pie man.
23:56And the manager said that he called in sick the last couple days.
24:00Nicely done.
24:01I'll tell the boss.
24:06No, enough of this.
24:07It's time to roll.
24:08It's too dangerous, why?
24:09Because I said so.
24:11What about the drop?
24:12Oh, it's too risky.
24:13Yeah, Beck.
24:14Okay, bye.
24:16Okay, bye.
24:16Hey, uh, what's happening?
24:20I'm not gonna do the drop.
24:21Too many highs, not enough time.
24:22We're gonna move on to the main event now.
24:26What about Benji?
24:29What about him?
24:30Oh.
24:43Happens to me, too.
24:45It's okay.
24:45It's a hazard of the job.
24:47Which book?
24:48King Arthur, right?
24:51Hmm.
24:52Nor ever yet had Arthur fought a fight like this last, dim, weird battle of the West.
24:58Tennyson, I wrote a term paper in college.
25:01Oh.
25:02Wow.
25:03You like it.
25:04Well, probably not as much as you do.
25:06I have to go to town council, so when you're done with those, I think you're finished for
25:10the day.
25:11Uh, Cassandra, um, I, uh, you know, I, I screw things up.
25:21No, you don't.
25:22Not today.
25:23Tell my parents that.
25:25They around?
25:26Your parents?
25:29Uh, my mom is in Boston, MIT.
25:32Math department.
25:35Uh, and my dad is an engineer, but we don't see eye to eye on things.
25:40And so I was staying with my brother up the coast a little bit, but he went away to work
25:45on the rigs, so here I am.
25:47I like it in Gibsons, though.
25:50Mostly.
25:53Yeah, I like it here.
25:59Uh, anyway.
26:00Uh, tomorrow, then, yeah.
26:03Yeah.
26:04Come whenever you want, and, look, if you're doing something that you don't like, just let
26:09me know, and we'll find something else.
26:11Deal?
26:11Okay.
26:12Okay.
26:12Deal.
26:13Yeah.
26:16No movement on the drop site?
26:18No phone call.
26:20I miss drops, usually bad news.
26:22It's not good, but it's not over.
26:23Eunice went to Wayne Folks' house.
26:25Looked like he packed up.
26:27Long gone.
26:27We put a bolo out.
26:29All these locations on this map, what's it look like to you?
26:32Double-eyed buckshot?
26:34It's just random.
26:46Stochastic art.
26:48Instead of who-what?
26:49Seemingly random strokes and points doesn't look like much until you step back and see
26:54it, the whole picture.
26:56Bungie's not the target.
26:58He's collateral damage.
26:59So they're after something else?
27:00This is just a distraction.
27:02But from what?
27:03Worst case scenario, a terrorist attack.
27:06More likely some sort of heist.
27:08I need two lists, possible targets for each.
27:11Ah.
27:18Something wrong?
27:20Have you read this?
27:21I read Christy's summary.
27:23Entire sections are gone.
27:25Really?
27:26Everyone, meetings upstairs in ten minutes.
27:29Christy.
27:31Minor tweaks.
27:33This eviscerates social spending.
27:35Housing, support groups, mental health.
27:38No one else had a problem with it.
27:39Yeah, no one else has read it.
27:41Well, there are many, many difficult decisions to be made, but we preserve the truly essential
27:47items.
27:48The police budget.
27:49Carl will be relieved.
27:50We had an agreement.
27:53I know that these programs are near and dear to you, Cassie.
27:57But I was elected on a growth platform, and infrastructure money has to come from somewhere.
28:02Because you lied to me.
28:03You lied to me.
28:04To my face.
28:07Do you know why people vote for me, Cassie?
28:10Because I can make difficult decisions.
28:14Mm-hmm.
28:15And why do you think they voted for me?
28:18Well, I think you'll find that the rest of the council is with me.
28:21Six banks in Gibson's, a couple dozen over all across the Sunshine Coast in jewelry stores.
28:29Chief, Doc Clyburn just called.
28:31They found prints in the store where the kids were held.
28:33They got a hit.
28:34Donovan Hurst from Boulder City, Nevada.
28:41He did five years for armed robbery, a bank in Des Moines, released in 2024.
28:46He was also believed to be connected to earlier bank jobs in New Mexico and Idaho, but nothing
28:50on this level of complexity.
28:52According to his record, Hurst is nothing but a thug.
28:55Maybe it's something he was building up to.
28:57He did just have five years' worth of time on his hands.
29:00Or was he working with someone else?
29:01Someone smart.
29:02Maybe someone he might imprison.
29:04Let's drill down into Donovan Hurst.
29:06I'll check his socials.
29:13Okay.
29:14I'm here.
29:15All right.
29:16Let me know if anything changes.
29:19Babe, we can do this.
29:21Of course we can.
29:23Next thing you know, we'll be on that beach.
29:24Trouble's behind us.
29:25Yeah.
29:31He's just a little kid.
29:33What do we do?
29:33We can't just leave him here.
29:35Well, only other option.
29:37I shot him.
29:51Look at all this stuff.
29:56Is that the Lundy painting?
29:59It is, yeah.
30:03Smaller than I thought.
30:06So, this is the Gibson's Club.
30:11You know, I have lived here my whole life, and I have never been inside.
30:15That's the Mirren Collection.
30:19I hear it's worth millions.
30:21Yes, it's stunning.
30:22So, you've really never been here?
30:26It's not surprising.
30:28I wouldn't join a club if they had me as a member.
30:31Someone said that once.
30:32I can't really remember.
30:34I think it was one of the Marx Brothers.
30:35Ah, I think you're right.
30:37It was, uh, Zappo or Harpo, or maybe it was Carl.
30:41Sorry, I babble when I'm nervous.
30:43I'm sure you've picked up on that already.
30:46You're doing great.
30:46Thanks.
30:47Hello.
30:48Would you like some champagne?
30:49Oh, yes, please.
30:51Enjoy your evening.
30:53Cheers.
30:53Cheers.
30:59Christy and I, uh, Mayor Holman, sat down last week to talk through our priorities,
31:05and I thought that we'd had a meeting of minds.
31:09And then an hour ago, I get this new budget with Christy's minor tweaks.
31:18Mayor Holman insists that this isn't personal, and she's right.
31:22It doesn't matter if I feel hoodwinked.
31:23That's politics.
31:24But what does matter, first and foremost, is that I am a resident of Gibson's.
31:29I am a member of this community.
31:31And as that person, I cannot live with the priorities of this new budget, with its minor
31:37tweaks, and its pandering to developers.
31:40So I am voting no.
31:42I can live with the duplicity, with the broken promises, but I can't live with this vision
31:51for our community.
31:54How about you?
31:55Is anyone as disgusted as I am?
31:58Six banks, three jewelry stores, spot on standby, no movement.
32:13Chief, I checked Hearst's online presence.
32:15There wasn't much.
32:16But you did get married six years ago.
32:19Vegas wedding posted photos.
32:24Stop.
32:25That's Curtis Penn.
32:28I said put out a bolo.
32:34You ready?
32:35Yeah.
32:36Let's go.
32:42I think you should bid on the net clothes.
32:44Okay.
32:47Everybody down!
32:48On the floor!
32:49Now!
32:49Hands where I can see you!
32:52You!
32:52Drop it!
32:53Drop it!
32:53Now!
32:55Gun down!
32:56Now!
32:57On the ground!
32:57You heard the man!
32:59Hands where I can see him!
33:00Ruth!
33:01Stay down!
33:03Four to two against?
33:05Four of us?
33:06Did you see the look on Holden's face?
33:09Well, what happens now?
33:11We'll figure it out.
33:12Gonna hand it to you, Lee.
33:13You may be new to politics, but that was one stem-winder of a speech.
33:16Well, Sean, Willa, congratulations.
33:22I did what I thought was right.
33:27And I'm sure it felt terrific.
33:30Up there, center stage, being right.
33:33Christy, I'm still willing to work with you.
33:34Just revamp the budget, we take another vote.
33:37In due time.
33:38But in the meantime, the budget is frozen, thanks to you.
33:42There's no money for anything.
33:44Not the arts, not social services, not development.
33:47Oh, and there's no extra funding for the police.
33:51Perhaps you'll let Carl know that.
33:53Don't move!
34:00Nice and calm now.
34:01You, girly, take that bag.
34:03Load it up with jewelry.
34:05Every piece you can get in there.
34:06Go, go.
34:07Nice and calm.
34:08Stay down.
34:09Stay down.
34:16Phyllis, oh my God, you're not gonna believe it.
34:19You, stay down.
34:20Right down on you.
34:20Phil?
34:20Stay down.
34:23Nice and calm.
34:24Hey!
34:25Drop it on the table.
34:26On the table.
34:27On the table.
34:28On the table.
34:29Get down.
34:30Move again and breathe.
34:35Hey, you.
34:36It's not a good time.
34:37I gotta call you back.
34:38Carl, there is something happening at the Gibson's Club.
34:40It's a charity auction.
34:42Phyllis just called me and I heard screaming.
34:44It's the Gibson's Club.
34:45Go.
34:45Yes, sir.
34:46All units are the Gibson's Club.
34:47Go, go, go.
34:49You good?
34:49Yeah, yeah, good, good, good.
34:52You.
34:53That painting, right there.
34:54Grab that painting.
34:55Right there.
34:57Move.
34:58Stay down.
35:04Are you okay?
35:07Wait.
35:11What the hell?
35:12It was a liability.
35:14You had to go.
35:15Come on.
35:16Let's go.
35:16We got to move quick.
35:23We don't even hold it.
35:24Hearse, it's over.
35:25Drop the weapon.
35:26Get on your knees.
35:27Get on your knees.
35:28Back up.
35:29Sit down.
35:29Hands behind your back.
35:30Behind your back.
35:32Drop it.
35:32Sit.
35:33Gun.
35:38Dispatch, this is Phillips.
35:39We have combed four at the Gibson's Club.
35:41Two suspects down.
35:42Send ambulances.
35:46Where's the kid?
35:49Where's Benji?
35:50Yes.
35:51What?
35:51Yeah?
35:52Keep breathing.
35:54Keep breathing.
35:55Look at me.
35:57Where's the kid?
35:58Your wife was taken to the hospital.
36:16I'm sorry she didn't make it.
36:20The boy, Hurst.
36:23Immunity.
36:24At least tell me the boy's still alive.
36:25We found a dead crew member in the club.
36:31Wayne Folks.
36:32This dude you picked up on account of his relationship to the boy.
36:36My bet his forensics matches the bullet that killed him to your gun.
36:40That's felony murder.
36:42Abduction.
36:43Armed robbery.
36:45You're looking at 20 years minimum.
36:48And if Benji's dead...
36:48He's dead.
36:50Immunity.
36:52I'll get Curtis Penner to cooperate.
36:55He's the brains of the operation, isn't he?
37:00Boss, we just picked up Penner.
37:02He was making a run for the ferry.
37:04Immunity.
37:05Boy goes home tonight to his folks.
37:07Boy's still alive.
37:11This is outrageous!
37:13Where's Benji?
37:13I had nothing to do with that.
37:16We have Hurst in custody.
37:18It's now or never.
37:18If you want to be the first to talk,
37:20if something happens to that boy,
37:21I swear you'll never see the light of day.
37:26There's a farmhouse.
37:28In Porpoise Bay.
37:29North of here.
37:30I caught one fire on the feast day of St. Matthew.
37:42Glamour of liars in the heat of the afternoon.
37:52Said what I thought I knew, I never knew.
37:56Oh, my God.
38:09Oh my God.
38:10I miss you.
38:12Oh my God.
38:17Oh my God.
38:18Oh my God.
38:22Oh my God.
38:23I'll live another life in your head
38:28You'll live another life in your head
38:34Hey.
38:37I'm just writing my statement, Sarge, while it's fresh.
38:43That was a justifiable use of force.
38:46You did exactly what I would have done.
38:49Okay. Thank you.
38:51As awful as it is, you did your job.
38:56And you saved my life.
39:01This is just a formality.
39:05I'll get you a ride home when you're done.
39:07I can drive myself, Sarge.
39:09Not tonight.
39:11If you need someone to talk to.
39:14Alright.
39:17Just tired.
39:21Alright.
39:24Let me hear if you need me.
39:26Why is it after midnight?
39:45Dad.
39:46I'm kind of stuck.
39:47I need a ride.
39:48What's wrong, sweetheart?
39:48I'm at a party.
39:50Don't have a fit.
39:51Some people I met.
39:53Older kids.
39:54They offered me a ride.
39:55Now I'm all the hell and gone up at Pseudo.
39:58Pseudo Lake?
39:58Yeah.
39:59Could you just come and get me, please?
40:00Things are getting out of hand.
40:02Yeah, yeah, yeah.
40:03Just hang tight.
40:05I'm on my way.
40:06Hey, your uncle was a great help today.
40:13Thank you for me.
40:14Oh, I will.
40:15I'm sure he's going to be talking about this one for years.
40:17I just wish that I had been there.
40:19There's so much more I could have done.
40:21Well, you'll have plenty of opportunity for self-recrimination
40:24when you're a public defender.
40:25Actually, I've been thinking about pulling my law school applications.
40:32Why?
40:33I've been attending these pre-selection seminars,
40:37and they're just, they're intense.
40:39The students, they're all these hardcore type A's,
40:42and I read slower, and I need time to process things,
40:46and I'm just not sure I'm cut out for it.
40:51Isabella.
40:52You have more heart and dedication than anybody I know.
40:56Please see this through.
40:59Just think of all the lines you're going to change.
41:01Breaking news.
41:03Gibson's counselors reject Mayor Holman's proposed town budget
41:07by a 4-3 margin.
41:08All town spending is now frozen
41:10until the counselors can find a resolution.
41:12You hadn't heard?
41:13No, it's far from ideal.
41:15But at the end of the day,
41:17I couldn't support a vision I don't believe in.
41:20And others agreed.
41:20That was Counselor Cassandra Lee.
41:31I waited.
41:32I left you a note.
41:35We found the boy.
41:37Yeah, I heard.
41:38Fire department helped with roblox.
41:41Medical examiner was out saving kids.
41:43I had the day from hell.
41:47You want to talk about your day?
41:48Holman rewrote the budget.
41:49She gutted it.
41:51I couldn't just roll over.
41:52My team's been running on fumes for weeks,
41:54and you knew that...
41:54Girl, this is about more than the police department.
41:57Well, you explain that to the parents
41:58or the kids we just saved.
42:00And you tell that to the officer
42:01who's going to have to live
42:02with having shot and killed someone today.
42:04Okay.
42:04That's awful.
42:08I'm sorry.
42:11Obviously, this isn't how I wanted the budget to go.
42:15Christy left me no choice.
42:17I was the only one who was going to stand up to her.

42:23from mental health.

42:34She's...
42:35Today's been hard.
42:41Lucky her.
42:43Don't be like this.

43:52You tell me again how this is.
43:53You tell me again.
43:53You tell me again how this is้ so to go.
