00:04My pleasure to love you, enjoy you, and to be a new one, and to be a new one.
00:15It's escalofriante to be in front of you, making you smile.
00:22And we'll walk with you.
00:38Hispanic male, age 33.
00:43Subjeta has multiple tattoos.
00:45The largest tattoo is a chest piece.
00:47Dark-haired, young woman surrounded by flowers.
00:50Maybe a sink.
00:56Entry wound angle of the bullet and tissue damage
00:59indicates shot was fired at point-blank range.
01:02Stippling around the entry wound along with blowback and GSR on the right hand
01:06supports strong possibility that the wound was self-reflected.
01:13Death occurred within seconds.
01:14I love you.
01:22I love you.
01:24I love you.
01:38I love you.
01:39I love you.
01:41I love you.
01:47I love you.
01:50I love you.
02:01I love you.
02:04I love you.
02:15I love you.
02:19I've got a question for you.
02:21I turned to Craig, and I just need to see you.
02:25Just need to see you on set.
02:27You found something?
02:28Yes, ma'am.
02:30Show me.
02:31Oh, right away.
02:38So Uncle Sam's got the tab on this, right?
02:40I'm still paying off my rope-tater cuff.
02:45I needed the ledgers for bad religion.
02:48Just keep watching.
02:52Help.
02:52You're okay.
02:53Help me.
02:54You're good.
02:58Make it stop, please. Make it stop.
03:15That's not me.
03:16That's funny.
03:18You so look like you.
03:19It's not. It's a deepfake.
03:22It's a deepfake.
03:23People do that, especially my people.
03:26Yeah, but why would they want to do that to you?
03:28Because there's this thing that's coming to light, right?
03:30It's a program.
03:31They don't want people to know about it.
03:33They're trying to fucking pin it all on me.
03:35So you're saying you had nothing to do with it?
03:37I did. I... I... I...
03:39No.
03:40I didn't. I... I sold untraceable guns and vetted soldiers for a study.
03:46But I sure as hell didn't fucking know anything about whatever the hell this is.
03:51We can prove it.
03:53Can your guy remove my face?
03:56I mean, if we can see who's under there, we'll know who's behind it.
03:59Yeah.
04:00We'll just go with your answer.
04:02For now.
04:03What if it's just more killer Craig under there?
04:05I'll be the one removing your face.
04:10All right.
04:11That's the way we do it.
04:15If you keep ordering like this, we're gonna have to start calling you three, John, pretty soon.
04:19I am committed to keeping y'all in business, Ms. Tanner.
04:20Oh, we are doing just fine. Thank you.
04:24Keep it that way.
04:25Yes, ma'am.
04:27Anything good from the autopsy?
04:29Bottom line is, Hondo says Esteban's death is consistent with suicide.
04:33Hmm.
04:34Pending further investigation due to suspicious circumstances.
04:38It's hard if they could suicide by gunshot.
04:40You got prints on the gun, GSR, bullet trajectory, it all fits.
04:44I know.
04:45But it doesn't feel right.
04:47Esteban was angry, not suicidal.
04:49Then why would the mystery woman from the casino want to put him down?
04:52I don't know.
04:54But...
04:54Check this.
04:57Hmm.
04:58He has a tattoo of her on his chest.
05:00The way his design makes me think she was the light he talked about.
05:03Oh.
05:04Oh.
05:05Look at her face.
05:07Isn't that the same lady he painted on the subway tunnel in Chicago?
05:10That makes even less sense.
05:12That would mean both of them were trying to put down Lance Durant.
05:14Why would you want to kill somebody from your same team?
05:17Maybe Kayla and I got too close.
05:19Huh.
05:21That would make him a risk you couldn't afford?
05:22Mm-hmm.
05:23That's cold.
05:25We have no idea who this woman is?
05:27No.
05:28But you know who might?
05:30Lance Durant.
05:31Man, don't even get me started on him.
05:34Did you see the footage from the raid in Toledo?
05:36Out here using kids as slave labor?
05:38This janky ass has been lying to us since day one.
05:42I know you pressed him before, but he didn't crack.
05:46That was a loud tap.
05:47This motherfucker about to get a full dose today.
05:51We're also shocked to hear what was it he knew.
05:55It's not very often you get to meet your heroes.
05:58Am I right?
05:58Yes.
05:59And I understand that you and President Obama are good friends now.
06:03You mentioned during our break that he called you yesterday.
06:05What did he say?
06:08He's, candidly, I think he's disappointed.
06:10I got a lot of phone calls from friends who are disappointed over the last couple of days.
06:14Yes.
06:15This is regarding the revelations that, and I quote,
06:17Crestbrook Industries has used undocumented migrant children to work in their plants and fields.
06:23And what did you say?
06:25I mean, I'd love to know, because he can call you directly for answers,
06:28but a lot of regular Americans were also shocked at the news that they heard.
06:33I found out when the rest of America found out, and frankly, it broke my heart.
06:43It's not, that's not who I am, that's not who Crestbrook is.
06:48It's all good and well to say that, but it sounds like spin.
06:51Hillary, let me be clear.
06:53I did not know, but that is not an excuse.
06:57Okay? Ignorance, that's not a, that's not a defense.
07:02I just, I would like to take a moment right now in front of the studio audience and, and, and,
07:07um,
07:09phew, the audience at home.
07:13I want you to know that I take full responsibility for this.
07:19That I am deeply ashamed.
07:25And I am so sorry that this happened.
07:32I will accept any punishment that is coming my way.
07:36And I think it's important to acknowledge the fact that I understand that it is on me to fix this.
07:44No, no, no, honestly, I appreciate that.
07:47If I can just use this as a moment to ask what I think is, is the real question, the
07:53bigger question here, which is,
07:55why are families sending their children to our country to work?
08:02Hmm?
08:04And the answer is, those families don't have enough to eat.
08:09That is why I'm supporting Senator Pete Ashford's world hunger reduction legislation.
08:15It is the key to allowing us to spread our prosperity seed around the globe.
08:21The prosperity seed that grows where nothing else will.
08:25And with it, we will end world hunger forever.
08:33Stay with us.
08:38I think it looks, I actually think it looks good.
08:40Maybe I'll leave it on.
08:46That was impressive.
08:48We come across professional lives every single day.
08:52You might be the best I've seen.
08:53No, no, no.
08:54Not better than Ramsay.
08:55Oh, you're, okay.
08:56Yeah.
08:57Second best.
08:57Yes, yes.
08:58Second.
08:59Do you have an update or are you just trolling me?
09:02Just a question.
09:04Do you recognize this woman?
09:07Hmm, should I?
09:08Don't answer a question with a question.
09:11People hate that.
09:11We have reason to believe she may be our killer.
09:13Well, I've never seen that woman before, so I don't know why you think I know her.
09:17Well, you've been lying to us from the beginning, so we can only assume-
09:19Watch your tone, Cross.
09:20You might be able to speak to criminals that way, but not to-
09:22The obstruction of justice is a crime.
09:25The obstruction of justice is a crime.
09:25Human trafficking is a crime.
09:27So, if he walks like a duck.
09:29Okay.
09:30Out.
09:31And I'll be on the phone to McElhannon.
09:33No, you watch your tone.
09:34Okay, alright.
09:34Okay, now.
09:35Look, this is a difficult question.
09:38And we at Crestbrook, we embrace the difficult.
09:40So, let me ask you a question.
09:41Is there anything that Crestbrook can do to make you, you know, more effective at your job?
09:46Listen, I don't work for Crestbrook.
09:49No, no.
09:49You work for Metro PD, right?
09:51But what's your current assignment?
09:53It is to find and stop the person who's trying to kill who?
09:55Me, Lance Duran, the CEO of Crestbrook Industries.
10:00So, if it walks like a duck.
10:02Mr. Duran, we asked you, why would someone want to kill you?
10:06And you fed us some bullshit about COVID exceptions.
10:09If you want us to be more effective at our job, start with the truth.
10:14Okay?
10:14You want me to just list my sins?
10:16No, that would take too long.
10:17Just give us the big ones.
10:18You know, human trafficking.
10:19The kind that would make someone want to kill you.
10:21Alex, I know-
10:22Detective Cross.
10:24Yeah, I don't believe in those kind of formalities.
10:26So, I am going to call you Alex.
10:29Or maybe, you know, Al.
10:32Feel free to call me Lance.
10:33Or, you know, Sir.
10:35Look, I know these recent allegations have given you-
10:39We saw a truckload of kids headed to one of your plants.
10:42That's fine.
10:42Okay?
10:43That's fine.
10:44You can just stay there.
10:45But you have to understand something.
10:47I asked for the best and they gave me you two.
10:49I'm going to assume that you can put your personal grievances to the side and just do your job.
10:54You have a suspect, right?
10:57Why don't you go find her?
10:59You know what?
10:59You're right, Lance.
11:00You're right.
11:02We are the best.
11:03We are going to find her and we are going to save her.
11:06But just know this.
11:06When we're done with that, I'll be pointed at you, Sir.
11:17Excuse me.
11:18If someone died in the D.C. metro area, is this where I would come to find a homicide detective
11:24to assign?
11:24Look, Pat.
11:25Crayla called us in for a debrief, Lieutenant.
11:27It's time sensitive.
11:30Hey.
11:31How's the case going with your mother?
11:33As soon as I get done here, I'm going to run down some leaves on this TK that's saying to
11:36shoot us.
11:37Okay.
11:37I think it's found something at this end.
11:40Hey, Lieutenant.
11:42You sitting in on this?
11:43Hell no.
11:44I may have to tell you, I can't have my whole unit sucked into this task force.
11:48If you need more bodies, tell the feds they can send more bodies.
11:51Capisce?
11:52Yes, ma'am.
11:53All right.
11:58All right.
12:00Ladies and gentlemen, our manhunt is now a woman hunt.
12:05I want you all to meet...
12:10...our brand new prime suspect.
12:11Correct.
12:12We believe she killed Helvig and Hartsfeld, his targeting Lance Durant, and was involved in the death of Lincoln Esteban.
12:19So, what?
12:20She forced him to kill himself?
12:22She is the light that Esteban was talking about.
12:25He worshipped her.
12:26Now, we think either she killed him or he sacrificed himself, but they're connected.
12:30The path to ID her is through him.
12:32We found everything from Lincoln's tunnel.
12:34Other than the shrine, she's not in it.
12:36We didn't know who we were looking for, and now we do.
12:38I still don't get how we're so sure she's the killer and not him.
12:42The more we learn about Esteban, the less he fit the profile.
12:45He wanted justice.
12:47Our suspect is bent on revenge.
12:49The kills are brutal, up close, and include torture.
12:53That kind of rage means it's personal.
12:55Exactly.
12:56Now, something terrible happened to her or someone she loves and she blames Lance Durant.
13:03All right?
13:04This begins and ends with him.
13:07Terrible like somebody dying?
13:09Yes.
13:09That would fit, Akbar.
13:10Yes.
13:11Okay.
13:12Well, then Esteban kept an article from 1998 about a woman that died of an apparent overdose.
13:18The coroner ruled it as suspicious.
13:20Danton, Iowa.
13:22Victim was a Gabriela Poraz.
13:23She worked as a doctor at a Crestbrook funded clinic.
13:26Now, I ruled this out because there was no connection between her and Esteban.
13:29What if our new suspect has a connection?
13:33Nice word.
13:34All right.
13:35You and Hardy dig into her, find out who loved her.
13:39Poraz.
13:40That name sounds familiar.
13:48Gabriela Poraz.
13:49Suit Lance and Crestbrook.
13:52Oh, shit.
13:54That same year.
13:55Looks like it was a whistleblower lawsuit.
13:57Longful death and injury of workers.
13:59We only got the top half of this complaint.
14:01Fine, I got the rest.
14:02Gah.
14:04Would you get a copy of that lawsuit in its entirety?
14:06Yep.
14:06I'm on it.
14:08Yep.
14:09Got a no bit.
14:09Poraz was survived by her six-year-old daughter.
14:12There's no name.
14:14I think our suspect could be in her mid-thirties.
14:16Sounds right to me.
14:17Mm-hmm.
14:19John, tell our boss you had a kid.
14:21We need a name.
14:22Tell him to check the birth records in the schools in the area.
14:25Kindergarten or second grade.
14:26Our dating's a small town.
14:27It can't be too many.
14:28Cool.
14:36The trajetoyas.
14:43This is new.
14:46It's beautiful.
14:49It's for Lincoln, isn't it?
14:53Yeah.
14:55Mm-hmm.
14:57This would make him happy.
15:00You mean if he was alive?
15:02Wherever he is, he's smiling.
15:07He should be here.
15:14Maybe it would help to think of him as a martyr.
15:20His death let us go on.
15:23Finish what you started.
15:25It's a gift.
15:26It's a waste.
15:29Only if you don't finish this.
15:39I got a name on our avenging angel.
15:44I was able to find four female Porazzes in the Danton County Iowa elementary schools in the time period that
15:49we need.
15:50But there was only one named Luz.
15:52Luz Poraz?
15:53Luz as in the light in Spanish Luz?
15:55That's right.
15:56This is her right here.
15:57Ms. Waller's first grade class.
15:58Oh, that's gotta be her.
16:00You know where she is right now?
16:01That's the thing.
16:02The Luz Poraz trail ends shortly after this photo was taken.
16:05Which is also around the time of her mother's death.
16:08After that, there's no record of the girl or that name.
16:10And yet, you're far too happy for a man with a dead end.
16:13Bingo.
16:14Because our little Luz has an auntie.
16:17Guadalupe Clara Poraz.
16:19She also disappeared around that time.
16:21Now, since the aunt was already an adult by the time the two of them dropped off the timeline,
16:25I was able to run a facial recognition based on how she looked 27 years ago.
16:28And I got a match on a DMV photo.
16:31Meet Claire Matthews.
16:34Of Sunrise, Florida.
16:36Hmm?
16:37And our little Luz is now Rebecca Matthews.
16:42How close is Sunrise to Hollywood, Florida?
16:44It's the next town over.
16:45And get this, that casino, ten minute drive from their house.
16:50We headed back to Florida.
16:52Yeah, we're gonna need a full workup on Rebecca Matthews by the time we land.
16:54I'm on it.
16:57I'm pulling up the crime scene now.
16:59You found something that could help LaDonna?
17:01I'll show you when I get there.
17:30We're TK in the wind.
17:32We got our work cut out for us.
17:34What do you want to show me?
17:36I went back through my notes like you asked.
17:38Report says five shots fired.
17:40Mm-hmm.
17:40Listen to this.
17:41I check the shot seeker audio from the night of Raymond Price's murder.
17:44At 11.15 p.m. it catches the gun firing.
17:47How many shots you hear?
17:52Six.
17:54But they only found five bullets.
17:56Pulled two at a price and three out of the walls.
17:59Here, here, and here.
18:01Techs never found any other slugs.
18:03Shit.
18:04And where's the six bullet?
18:05Maybe it ricocheted at a weird angle and went through the window.
18:08We call the techs back.
18:10Maybe they can find it.
18:20What if the bullet found another way out?
18:24Take a look at this.
18:25It's been bothering me, but now it's starting to make some sense.
18:29All right, you got a trail of blood that leads to here.
18:33Where a pool's underneath Price's body right there.
18:35Right.
18:36Shot there, moved there, died there.
18:40So why is this area clean?
18:43I mean, the guy's bleeding out all along here.
18:45And he stops bleeding for this bit.
18:46And drops dead right there.
18:50Holy shit.
18:53We got a witness out there walking around with our six bullet in him.
18:56If he's still alive, he can tell us to do this shit.
19:05She's poking around.
19:07She's trying to get to the bottom of her mother's death.
19:10Setting off alarm bells.
19:12Exactly.
19:12Then Sheriff Mitch comes to Florida.
19:15Our girl's young.
19:16She's female.
19:17He thinks he can scare her off.
19:19Instead, he becomes her...
19:20Her first victim.
19:22And then...
19:22Then nothing.
19:23I mean, nothing.
19:24She just becomes the most boring woman on the planet.
19:26She graduates with average grades.
19:28Gets a few average, non-distinct jobs.
19:30No car.
19:31No house.
19:32One credit card she uses to buy painfully ordinary things on Amazon.
19:37She went underground.
19:39This woman is avenging her mother's death.
19:42Gets her first taste of blood and then goes silent.
19:45For ten years.
19:48A serial killer with that kind of patience, that kind of discipline.
19:52I've never seen anything like it.
19:53That's because killing isn't a compulsion for her.
19:56It's a mission.
19:58She wasn't just patient.
20:00She was preparing.
20:02It's...
20:02It's a job.
20:03It's obsessively deliberate.
20:06That's why she doesn't make mistakes.
20:08Everybody makes mistakes sooner or later.
20:11We just need to find the right button and press it.
20:13Well, let's go press some buttons.
20:16Police stop.
20:38Luis Perez.
20:40No one here by that name.
20:43Right.
20:44Rebecca Mathes.
20:46I agree.
20:46I'm Agent Craig, FBI. This is Detective Cross.
20:49You met him at the blackjack table.
20:51We'd hoped to speak with you, but you eluded casino security and ran.
20:54It's not ringing a bell.
20:57We'd like to speak with you now.
21:00About what exactly?
21:01Lincoln Esteban.
21:06Should I know who that is?
21:08We know that you were in the penthouse with him when he died.
21:11We also know that you killed Mitch Morgan and Richard Helvig.
21:13I'm so sorry, I don't know any of those people.
21:16We know why you're after them, especially Lance Durant.
21:19What he's done, what he's still doing.
21:22Migrant children.
21:23You're not here to make friends, so are you gonna arrest me?
21:26You know we can't do that.
21:28Yet.
21:30Then you should leave.
21:32You're not gonna be able to stop Lance Durant on your own.
21:35Not anymore.
21:37I think we can help each other.
21:43Great.
21:54Jani?
21:57Jani, honey, I'm so sorry I'm late.
21:59Damon and Berto needed to be dropped off.
22:01What's wrong?
22:02I was supposed to get matching hair workings for all the girls at the track meet.
22:05I was gonna ask Uncle John to stop on the way home from school.
22:08But then I had to be.
22:10And Coach says you have to eat before the meet or you'll be slow on your feet.
22:14You forgot the ribbons.
22:16Now it's too late.
22:17And everybody's gonna be mad at me.
22:20You know some folks, especially us girls, feel like we gotta get everything right.
22:26Be everything for everybody who needs something from us all the time.
22:31But the truth is, Jani, you can't be anything for anybody unless you look out for yourself.
22:39So, forgive yourself when you make mistakes.
22:43And even ask somebody else who has a little less on their plate to bring the damn hair ribbons to
22:47practice.
22:48Does that sound good?
22:50Yes.
22:51Good.
22:52Are you here because you're bringing everything to everybody?
22:56No, baby girl.
22:58I'm here because I love you.
23:01All of us?
23:03Of course.
23:10Let's go get your bag.
23:12If we leave now, we can get the hair ribbons before practice.
23:26Hey.
23:27Hold on a second.
23:32Hey, Bobby.
23:33Can your guy remove the deep fake?
23:34Could've.
23:35But we got a problem.
23:37His whole op got raided last night.
23:39Did you...
23:41Did you mention him to anyone?
23:43What?
23:44No.
23:44No, of course not.
23:45Well, Ian, I'm thinking someone really don't want you to see underneath that rock.
23:50Do you know anyone good enough to unravel that video?
23:55Hmm?
23:56Yeah, I do.
23:57But he's FBI.
23:58We can't use him.
23:58I can't risk being exposed.
24:00Hmm.
24:01Well, we might have different definitions, but to me, you already exposed.
24:08Fuck it.
24:09This is a great glass in case of emergency time.
24:13His name's Bruce Folsom.
24:14I'll send you the info.
24:31Where are you?
24:31Well, I'm right here.
24:35I'm right here with you.
24:44What?
24:50Cross.
24:51I've been thinking about your offer, Detective.
24:54I'm ready to talk.
24:56The Royal Bombay.
24:57Tomorrow at 1pm.
24:59Yeah.
24:59That's fine.
25:01I'll see you there.
25:05You're not gonna meet with that cop.
25:07They got nothing on me.
25:08That's even more reason to steer clear.
25:10Law enforcement was a part of the plan from the very beginning.
25:13That was the plan for after we take down Lance Duran.
25:16Now is too soon.
25:18You can't do it.
25:19I'm not asking.
25:20Luz.
25:21We're on your side.
25:22But acting rashly now won't bring Lincoln back.
25:24Don't talk about him.
25:29We all wish that Lincoln didn't have to go that way.
25:33But that is life.
25:35He was an innocent and he's dead because of me.
25:38I gotta live with that.
25:42We're gonna take a ride.
25:44And I'm not asking.
25:57Get a dick girl a bounce.
26:00Yeah.
26:01White boy like you.
26:03Need all the juice.
26:05You can swang.
26:09Sorry.
26:09Have we met before?
26:11No.
26:11But we got a friend in common though.
26:14Kayla Craig.
26:16Yeah.
26:17Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.
26:18She needs a favor.
26:20And she say you owe her.
26:32Crestbrook plant.
26:33Why?
26:34You'll see.
26:56What is this place?
26:59This is why I do what we do.
27:05My family's farm is just over that hill.
27:08Close enough that we can smell the diesel fumes from the trucks that rolled in.
27:12Then they started dumping chicken waste in the fields.
27:15Only they didn't call it dumping.
27:17They called it composting.
27:19Who is it?
27:20It dried to a dust and it covered everything, covered every inch of my house.
27:26My little sister started using inhaler.
27:28My dad, he didn't have the energy to work in the fields like he used to.
27:31But by then it didn't matter because this factory used so much water.
27:35It ran our wells dry and we couldn't grow anything anyway.
27:38And you wanted to make them pay.
27:40I snuck in here one night and I lit up that chicken coop.
27:45I wasn't planning it.
27:47I was just fucking angry.
27:52And then I heard the screams.
27:59That's the front door.
28:03It had metal handles.
28:05And when I touched them I could feel my palm sitting down to the bone.
28:08This is where it happened.
28:10I jumped in through a window but...
28:13The smoke, it was so black inside.
28:16I couldn't breathe.
28:18I found the bodies piled up by the door when I tripped over them.
28:24How was I supposed to know?
28:25They have goddamn kids living in the chicken coop.
28:28It's okay, okay?
28:29I can still hear them in my dreams.
28:31I can fucking smell them.
28:36I do know what it's like to carry something loose.
28:39You didn't know what you were doing.
28:41I did.
28:47Paying can be an anchor pulling us down.
28:49But it can be a reminder too.
28:52Reminding us that we have a debt to the dead.
28:55And if you let that cop get in your head, we don't pay that debt.
28:59That means those kids, Lincoln, they died for nothing.
29:08Think about that when you talk to that cop.
29:19Come on, Kayla. You better fucking answer.
29:36Boss.
29:37I need you back in D.C. Now.
29:40Well, we're on a suspect. I can't just...
29:41First flight out, Kayla.
29:43Wait a second. What is this?
30:00Nice table, Detective.
30:04You're late.
30:05I wanted to give you enough time to get your surveillance team set up.
30:07There's no team.
30:09Just her.
30:20Uncle Nearest, 1856.
30:22And tequila and soda with lime.
30:24Anything else?
30:26No.
30:28You ordered for me.
30:30Yeah.
30:30Coming on a little strong there.
30:32Did I get it right?
30:35Yeah.
30:35You know what?
30:38Gabriela.
30:42No one called her that.
30:47But it is connected to her, isn't it?
30:50Part of the ritual.
30:51And you order tequila and soda.
30:53I'm guessing that's her favorite drink.
30:55And then you play, what is it?
30:56Three and 16 on the roulette table?
30:58Her birthday.
30:59And you spin the wheel, you walk away.
31:01And just like clockwork, a few days later somebody ends up dead.
31:04Right?
31:05Just another body on the revenge door for mommy.
31:08It's a theory.
31:11Or it's just a drink.
31:13Not for you.
31:15For you, it's intentional.
31:18You know, I bet everything you do is intentional.
31:22And what about you, Detective?
31:24Hmm?
31:26Why are you here?
31:28Same reason as you.
31:29I want justice.
31:31And what would you consider justice?
31:34For a mass murderer?
31:35Hmm?
31:36A trafficker of children?
31:38And the person you think kills your mother.
31:40I know he did.
31:41Then why is he still alive?
31:44You were close enough to do it.
31:46No.
31:47No, me? No, no.
31:49But I would guess, whoever's doing this,
31:53they must have started down this path because they wanted justice.
31:57For Gabriela Alejandra Porras.
32:00And then they learned that her death was part of a larger pattern.
32:04A depraved machine built to enrich Lance Duran and his cronies
32:08and to treat innocent people, like those children and my mother,
32:14as collateral damage.
32:16You know, Lincoln Esteban was collateral damage.
32:20But it wasn't Crestbrook who sacrificed him, was it? No.
32:24It was you.
32:26I didn't know him.
32:27Yes, he did.
32:29And I think that you loved him.
32:31And he worshipped you.
32:33You know, it must be so hard for you.
32:38Sign up to fight for truth and justice just to wind up working for a monster.
32:46Sure.
32:47Okay.
32:54Mike's off.
32:55Let's talk.
32:58I believe Lance Duran is entirely capable of killing your mom.
33:02And I bet she's not the only body he left behind.
33:05That man deserves everything you planned for him.
33:07He deserves to be watered and blooded, just like his prosperity scene.
33:10And what you need to do is get out of the way.
33:12Don't lose.
33:13At any moment now, we'll gather material evidence linking you to a killer.
33:17And in the meantime, we are on you 24-7.
33:21You won't get within a mile of Lance Duran.
33:23That dream in your head?
33:25It died the moment we knocked on your door.
33:28But you can still stop him.
33:30If you have evidence, give it to me.
33:33We'll take him down the right way.
33:35Come on, detective.
33:36I know how that goes.
33:38He's gonna get a slap on the wrist and a fine that won't even amount to what he spends on
33:41a private jet to bowels.
33:42I won't let that happen.
33:43You can't help but let that happen.
33:45Do you know what that badge in your pocket makes you?
33:48An errand boy for the landowners.
33:58Okay.
34:01Alright.
34:02Let me tell you something.
34:07Fuck it.
34:08My wife was murdered.
34:13And I was filled with rage.
34:18Just like you.
34:21I wanted justice.
34:23I didn't.
34:25But all of my actions.
34:28They were all about vengeance.
34:33Just like you.
34:36I became somebody I didn't recognize.
34:39I hurt people who didn't deserve it.
34:44Lose.
34:46How many more Lincolns are you willing to sacrifice?
34:52He sacrificed himself.
34:54If that's true, then he did it so you could go on.
35:02What kind of future would he have wanted for you?
35:05What would your mother have wanted?
35:07My mother wanted justice.
35:10That's why they killed her.
35:11It's too late to do it the way you planned.
35:14But it's not too late to make sure their sacrifices matter.
35:19If we do it my way, I promise.
35:21If we do it my way, we can finish the mission.
35:24For them Lose.
35:30I want 24 hours.
35:35I don't want to say my goodbyes.
35:37Alex.
35:39Can you promise me you'll take that Lincolns?
35:49I don't like it.
35:51What's not to like?
35:53It doesn't fit the profile.
35:54We've been describing it.
35:55A zealot who will stop at nothing and what she's all of a sudden just going to quit.
35:59I'll push the right buttons.
36:01Yeah, you think?
36:03Like if you'd heard what she said.
36:04Not just what she said, but how she said it.
36:07Yeah, I couldn't.
36:07Because my partner turned off the recording device.
36:13I needed to bond with Lose, okay?
36:15That wasn't part of it.
36:16You should be happy right now.
36:17Happy?
36:18Yeah.
36:20Must have missed an epic performance.
36:22Did she cry?
36:23She cried, didn't she?
36:25Contrary to popular belief, the great Alex Cross cannot in fact see into everyone's souls.
36:30Mm.
36:31We still talking about Lose?
36:32It's an EG case all over again.
36:34You making the decisions, you getting credit.
36:36So that's what this is all about.
36:37Your relentless need for credit.
36:40You know what?
36:41The depths of your insecurity is mind boggling.
36:44But don't worry.
36:45I'm fine just catching the bad guy.
36:46I will make sure to say the real hero is Kayla Craig.
36:50That's not what I want.
36:52Bullshit.
36:53Cross Almighty.
36:55What I want is for you to consider that occasionally you're not perfect.
36:59And this is one of those times you are not reading her correctly.
37:05Considered and dismissed.
37:07Then have her turn herself in at the local FBI headquarters.
37:10No, I can't.
37:11That would spook her.
37:12So you're just cool with going to a rendezvous of her choice?
37:15I will take precautions.
37:18Yeah.
37:19You do that, Alex.
37:21Just make sure you keep your fingers in your pockets.
37:23Okay.
37:24I've been called back to DC.
37:48What is this deep throat shit?
37:50Oh, yeah.
37:51We're not doing this in the office.
37:53Kayla?
37:53Oh, so there's going to be a quickie in the car then?
37:56All these years you still can't tell when I'm dead serious.
37:59What's the problem, Roy?
38:01I knew you'd have to get creative.
38:03I mean, I looked the other way when you let that psycho Bobby Trey out of the cage.
38:07All right.
38:08But yesterday, I find out from my boss.
38:11From?
38:12My boss.
38:14That your psycho approached and threatened an FBI tech at your direction.
38:20Hmm?
38:21Is there a memo?
38:22And an incident report.
38:26Stupid.
38:27I told you the only thing you couldn't do was use FBI assets.
38:30We have no choice. I have to prove I'm not the one in the video.
38:32Fuck the video. I'm your problem now. You understand me?
38:37You put me in a boat, Kayla.
38:40If I can only save one of us, if that, it will be me.
38:44What does that even mean?
38:45Well, for starters, your badge is good for the next three hours.
38:49You're going to get in, get your shit, get out, and do not leave a mess.
38:53Then you will go home and you will wait, and I might be in touch.
39:00Roy, I didn't want this.
39:03It's important that you know that.
39:11What is this?
39:12You remember when everyone was real nervous when Ramsay got put away?
39:16Wondering where his treasure trove of blackmail was?
39:22See, I always thought you were a climber.
39:24That's why I liked working with you, because I understand climbers.
39:27But I was wrong.
39:30You don't climb, you push.
39:32Like you push the man who was in your job before you.
39:36Who gets accused of selling classified documents, commits suicide before he stands trial.
39:41Or at least that was the story.
39:43But this proves that you were actually the leaker.
39:49So do you want to try this again?
39:53What do you want?
39:58Roy sent me.
40:00Setting up in the kitchen.
40:11You coming?
40:13Why, you got some other blackmailers reading for you?
40:15No.
40:19I delegated five things.
40:21What do I do with all that's in?
40:23Well, I think you need a plan, baby girl.
40:25And I got you covered.
40:30For you.
40:33I know a lot of people use their phones, but I like to write things down.
40:37This planner belongs to...
40:39I'm gonna write Queen Janelle Cross.
40:42Okay, Queen.
40:44You are so welcome.
40:46Now, there is a rule.
40:47A very important rule with this.
40:49You control the planner.
40:51The planner does not control you.
40:53Now, take a look at mine.
40:58See how I have everything organized by activity.
41:02Right?
41:07Who is Trevor?
41:11Uh, he's a good friend of mine.
41:13We actually work together sometimes.
41:16Is Trevor your boyfriend?
41:19We'll see.
41:21Jury's still out on that one.
41:24Does Daddy know?
41:27Mm-hmm. He does.
41:30You said that she loved us.
41:33Hey.
41:36I do love you.
41:37Very much.
41:40But you were Daddy and I.
41:46That's just not gonna happen.
41:48And I'm sorry, Jenny, because I know you were hoping it would.
41:52Why wouldn't it happen?
41:54I don't want you to worry about that.
41:57Because you and me, we are family.
42:00And that will never change.
42:03Promise you.
42:04Well, you should've asked me.
42:05Because I don't want to be that kind of family.
42:08Jenny.
42:16Can I get another one of those?
42:21Okay.
42:23You know what?
42:24How about a little less drinking and a little bit more peeling my face off so we can see what's
42:29underneath?
42:30Yeah?
42:32Look, this isn't face off, okay?
42:34When you're dealing with deep fake, the original image is destroyed.
42:39When the new data, meaning your face, is introduced to the new image, so there's literally nothing to peel.
42:45So you can't do it?
42:47No, I didn't say that.
42:49Just waiting on a few last pieces here.
42:55Whoever did this used photos of your face to train the AI, which mapped them onto the original face.
43:01But it needs a lot of images of you from, like, different angles just to match a moving figure.
43:09You see that?
43:10You see how our head turns sharply there?
43:12It's because the AI lost one of the landmarks.
43:14There's no Kayla image data for it.
43:16Right?
43:17But you get, like, a little speck of their original face becoming visible.
43:22Then you can't make a positive ID off of a single speck's worth of face.
43:25No.
43:27But I can watch the video frame by frame on loop for hours and catch every little piece of where
43:33their AI failed.
43:35Put all the little pieces together.
43:39Holy shit.
43:40You know what?
43:41It's Felicia.
43:45Um, yeah, hold on.
43:49Yeah, hey, um, this is not a good time for me right now.
43:51Look, I'm sorry I cut the feed, alright?
43:54Are you?
43:55I still think I made the right move, but I just want to make sure that we're okay.
43:59It depends. Are you on the way to the airport?
44:01At the next intersection, turn right.
44:03Great.
44:07You know, at least tell me you brought back up.
44:11Uh, well, I got three cars and feds waiting for me at the meat point, huh?
44:15But Kay, I, uh, I shouldn't have said what I said yesterday.
44:19I know how hard you were to get here, how much you do deserve the credit.
44:22And yet there you are, off to play lone hero again.
44:25I just think how good it'll feel to dunk on me if I'm wrong.
44:28Oh!
44:36Alex?
44:39Alex!
44:41How awful is that DC traffic?
44:44It's the worst.
44:45I just have to say thank you so much for meeting with me, Senator Ashford.
44:49Of course.
44:50I admire your organization quite a bit.
44:53Uh, my aide said that there would be four of you?
44:55No, just me.
44:56But I brought all the details for the, uh, scholarship we're starting in your parents' name.
45:01Well, they deserve it.
45:02It's been ten years now, I'm still trying to live up to their example.
45:05Oh, I bet.
45:06Your mom was the first female judge appointed to the Iowa Supreme Court.
45:11She was also an investor in Crestbrook Industries, is that right?
45:15Well, back then it was Crestbrook Farms, but, yeah, she was an early investor.
45:19Which is why she should have recused herself from the many lawsuits against Crestbrook.
45:25But instead she made sure they all came to her courtroom so that she could dismiss them and protect her
45:29investment.
45:30What is this?
45:33That's an outrageous accusation.
45:35Forty-three lawsuits.
45:36All dismissed by your mother.
45:40Human trafficking, unsafe work conditions, underage employees, wrongful death.
45:44Your mother helped Crestbrook Farms become Crestbrook Industries and she did so at the expense of children.
45:51Can't be true.
45:52But it is.
45:53And now Lance Duran wants to take his criminal operation on the road.
45:57Prosperity Seed will feed the world.
45:59Sure it will.
46:00On the backs of child labor.
46:02My mother couldn't have known this.
46:04The blood money your mother got for protecting Crestbrook bought your education.
46:09Your first car, your weddings, both of them, and funded every single campaign you have ever ran.
46:18Except for that last one.
46:20Because Lance Duran paid for it.
46:27What are you doing?
46:28What are you doing?
46:31Your old housekeeper said your mom left you more than an inheritance.
46:35She left you her leverage.
46:39Everything right is right now.
47:02Uh-oh.
47:08To sleep with her, your kids come on the second day.
47:09But no life is greater than a mission.
47:30Hey there, y'all.
47:32Crossy Cross.
47:34I'm Trey.
47:35What the fuck you doing here?
47:46Come on.
47:46Come on, come on.
47:47Come on, come on.
47:48Come on.
47:49Come on.
48:13Ah
48:31Kayla Craig seem to think
48:33You're alive
48:33We're safe
