00:00Well, thank you. Thank you, Jeff, for getting back to me.
00:03Yes, I appreciate it.
00:06So, uh, that was Jeff, your nephew?
00:09Yeah, he's the one that ran Touch of Sky Airlines with Jeremy back in the day.
00:13Abe called him earlier, left a message.
00:16And? What did he say? Did he think he knew where Jeremy could be hiding out or where he could
00:20have Stephanie?
00:21He remembers that he and Jeremy used to use a private hangar at the airport.
00:26And he thinks maybe that's where he took Stephanie.
00:31I'm not, I'll see you.
00:33Thank you for all your hard work today. Care to know there was a lot to do.
00:36Oh, I'm happy you do it. The busier I am, the faster the day goes by.
00:39Ah, I find that to be true as well.
00:44Damn.
00:47I hate thinking about that poor woman waiting to be found wherever the hell that Horton bastard took her.
00:54Assuming he hasn't hurt her or was.
01:00Well, hopefully the rewards you put up will be incentive for someone to come forward soon with something helpful.
01:06Hope so.
01:07I do know the police have been flooded with tips.
01:11Woman resembling Stephanie Johnson seen getting on a bus to Chicago.
01:17Woman resembling Stephanie Johnson seen boarding a bus to Missouri.
01:27Excuse me.
01:32Hey, sweetness.
01:34Steve, I have a tip.
01:36You do? Well, let's hear it.
01:38Well, Abe was talking with his nephew, Jet, who told him that he and Jeremy used to use a private
01:44hangar at the airport.
01:46Maybe Stephanie's with him there.
01:48It's very remote, apparently.
01:51You have an address?
01:52I'll text it to you.
01:54Okay.
01:55We'll check it out.
01:58Listen, sweetness.
02:00We're going to find our baby girl.
02:03And soon.
02:04Yeah.
02:05Soon.
02:12Excellent.
02:13You're right on time.
02:14I live by the clock, Dr. Rolf.
02:16So is there anything in particular you need me to do tonight?
02:19Yes, there is.
02:20And it's crucial that you handle it with extreme care.
02:23Otherwise, all our hard work could go to waste.
02:25Well, we can't have that.
02:26No, we cannot.
02:28Which is why you must watch the sensors like a hawk.
02:31The moment the process is complete, brain activity will resume and our guests will begin to return to the land
02:37of the living.
02:38That's when said sensors will be triggered.
02:40And when this happens, which could very well be tonight, you must call me immediately, if not a moment sooner.
02:47Got it.
02:48This is no night for distractions, young man.
02:50You must give this all of your focus.
02:52Oh, I will.
02:53You can count on me, Dr. Rolf.
02:55Yeah.
02:55I hate to leave, but I need sustenance.
03:00The mind cannot thrive on caffeine alone.
03:05Do that, ma'am.
03:07That's strange.
03:12What is this?
03:14What is this?
03:25What is this?
03:33What is this?
04:37I'd like to invite you out to dinner.
04:41Again?
04:43Do you have other plans?
04:46No.
04:47But I don't want you to think that I expect special awards just for doing my job.
04:54You didn't just do your job.
04:56You went above and beyond.
04:58And I would like to express my gratitude.
05:03Well, it's a very kind offer.
05:05So, is that a yes?
05:09It's a yes.
05:14I'm sorry.
05:16Gotta get going.
05:18Oh, city business to attend to.
05:21My prayers are that Stephanie will be brought home to you soon.
05:25Thank you, Pony.
05:27I wish I could do more.
05:29I'll see you at home, Avery.
05:30All right.
05:31See you at home.
05:37So, uh, Chris, I talked to Shane, and he's got the ISA working on this day and night.
05:46And, oh, and hope did talk to Robin.
05:50I assume she hasn't talked to Jeremy.
05:54No, but she did give them possible ideas about where he might be, and, uh, those leads are being checked
06:01out as we speak.
06:03Look, you know, you've got the best of the best out there tracking Stephanie, okay?
06:10My, um, my ass went included.
06:15Okay, I got Sean and J.J. leading the search at the airport.
06:19Well, great.
06:20Thanks, Gina.
06:22So, anything here while I, uh, was gone?
06:25Any update?
06:25No.
06:26Just a whole lot of people wanting to help find Anastasia Sands,
06:30even though they don't know who she really is or where to find her.
06:34Oh, my God.
06:36You're not kidding.
06:37But, hey, we did get some credible information this way.
06:40Like the Jeremy sightings near the hospital around the time of the kidnapping?
06:43Since then, nothing.
06:47Well, we do have the incentive now with the big rewards from Titan and E.J.
06:51Honestly, I don't know if that's helping or hurting.
06:55I mean, those phone tip lines are ringing off the hook.
06:58Yeah, well, I've got two officers manning the phone.
07:00Full-time.
07:02I mean, the upside is there's a whole lot of people out there looking for your daughter.
07:06Even if the incentive is purely financial.
07:09Well, you know what?
07:09I don't give a damn what the motives are.
07:11I'm just so tired of asking myself over and over again,
07:15is this the one?
07:16Is this the call?
07:17Is this the call?
07:21Is this the call?
07:23Hey, man.
07:27No, no, nothing yet.
07:30You do?
07:32Chad thinks he might have something.
07:39A woman's ring.
07:42Very lovely.
07:46What's it doing in the trash?
07:48Oh, that?
07:49I got that for my girlfriend.
07:53I was going to propose to her with it, but...
07:56I chickened out.
07:59So you just threw it in the trash?
08:03It's costume jewelry.
08:05Yes, it's cheap.
08:07It doesn't look cheap to me.
08:09And you never speak of any girlfriend.
08:13Oh, I have one.
08:16She's very beautiful.
08:19We've been together a long time.
08:21Since 2009, actually.
08:24Huh.
08:25She's, uh...
08:26She's very special to me.
08:29Then why did you, as you call it,
08:32chicken out,
08:33of asking her to marry you?
08:36You know, it's complicated.
08:37I don't want to bore you with the details, Dr. Roth.
08:39But I don't understand.
08:41If you've both remained together for such a long time,
08:44I'd say you're more than ready for a lifetime commitment.
08:47Surely you can resolve whatever complications you have.
08:51You think so?
08:52Most definitely.
08:55Though I'm a man of science,
08:57I am captivated by matters of the heart.
09:01Wow.
09:02I never would have pegged you for a romantic, Dr. Roth.
09:05Love fuels the engine of life.
09:08Does it not?
09:11Can I quote you on that?
09:13Ha!
09:14You may.
09:15When are these pawns a ring?
09:18Cheap or not, I'm sure it's worth something.
09:21Yeah.
09:22Well, probably.
09:24Feel gluck, kid.
09:26Though luck is the wild card, Niffa.
09:29The fragile illusion of the unprepared.
09:33Ha!
09:33Plans are the winning hand.
09:39You may.
09:41Go!
09:43Go!
09:58You may.
10:01Go!
10:10I'm going to take your gag off.
10:12If you try anything stupid, I'll make sure you'll regret it.
10:22Stephanie, are you okay?
10:25Of course she isn't.
10:27She's cold.
10:29She's thirsty.
10:30She's exhausted and she's scared.
10:33Unlike me, who's cold, thirsty, exhausted, and really pissed off.
10:39What the hell is wrong with you?
10:42This is how you show a woman you love her?
10:44I gave her water.
10:47She didn't want it.
10:49She thought you were trying to drug her.
10:51I would never do that.
10:52No.
10:54You'll leave her tied up, handcuffed in a freezing closet all day.
10:57A spike in the water bottle, that's a bridge to fart.
11:03You want to make fun of me?
11:08I'm going to earn her love, Jeremy.
11:19You'll see.
11:36Just the man I've wanted to see.
11:40Paulina, I'm sorry.
11:41My assistant and I are on our way out.
11:43No, you're not going anywhere.
11:46See, I'm here to search this hospital for whatever it is you're doing with that energy you stole from the
11:51community.
11:51And you are going to help me do things.
11:53I thought we agreed we could handle that next week.
11:56Yeah, well, surprise.
11:59It's going to be handled right now.
12:07Uh-huh.
12:09Right, right.
12:11Chad, thanks a lot, man.
12:13Thanks a lot.
12:16So, what's he got?
12:18Thomas found a phone in the school hallway yesterday and gave it to Jeremy right before Jeremy made a run
12:25for it.
12:26Wait, seriously?
12:28Why are we just hearing about this now?
12:29Because Thomas thought the phone belonged to another student.
12:33Well, who does it belong to?
12:35There were four initials on the phone case.
12:38S-J-P-R.
12:40Oh, my God.
12:41It was Stephanie's.
12:43Yes.
12:46You're awake.
12:49Hey there, gorgeous.
12:56Did you sleep well?
13:00One may be delusional, but he's no dummy.
13:03You moved everything that could have helped us escape.
13:08And I guess that means there's only one other option.
13:15We talk Owen into letting us go.
13:19How do we do that?
13:20Well, we either play into his delusion or we challenge it.
13:32I did sleep well.
13:37I had this really sweet dream.
13:43About what?
13:48About you.
14:05There you go again, Paulina, accusing me of theft when you have absolutely no proof that
14:11I've stolen so much as a stick of gum.
14:13Oh, you've stolen much more than that.
14:18I now have the DPW chief's findings on the power intake in this hospital.
14:25And you know what we found?
14:28We found proof.
14:29The electricity consumption in this hospital has increased the same amount, exact amount,
14:35that has been siphoned off from nearby businesses.
14:40Some kind of coincidence, huh?
14:43You said it, Paulina, a coincidence.
14:46Oh, no, no.
14:47There's more.
14:49According to your sub-meters.
14:52My what?
14:52Your sub-meters.
14:54The meters that monitor the power use in the hospital by region.
14:59Which gave me an even clearer picture of where that excess use is exactly coming from.
15:07And where was that?
15:09Well, it's coming from that lovely free clinic of yours.
15:21Man, this case against Jeremy is getting stronger and stronger by the minute.
15:25I mean, Thomas finding Stephanie's phone at the school where Jeremy teaches?
15:30No, no.
15:33Something's not right about this.
15:36If Jeremy kidnaps Stephanie, it was after he fled the school.
15:41We know that he was there all day prior to that.
15:46And he did have a cop watching him the whole time.
15:50And there were a ton of witnesses that saw him there.
15:53That's right.
15:55So how does Stephanie's phone get to the school before Jeremy escapes?
16:00That's a really good question.
16:03Do you think he had an accomplice?
16:13You were dreaming about me.
16:17Yeah.
16:20I was.
16:23You and I, we were so in love.
16:30And Owen, I know, I know that I've been upset with you.
16:35But this dream, it, it really affected me.
16:46It stirred up feelings in me that, that I, I didn't know I had.
16:56Feelings for you.
17:03And, it made me sorry that I was so hard on you.
17:09Damn it.
17:15I have to go.
17:19Okay, but I'll be back.
17:20As soon as I can.
17:24Stephanie.
17:27You've made me so.
17:42So how did you dream with Owen?
17:44Stirred feelings in you?
17:45Didn't know you had?
17:46I was feeding into his delusions.
17:48Yeah.
17:49Like we talked about.
17:50Exactly.
17:51And I'm going to keep doing that because I'm not just going to sit here and let him kill you
17:56and then drag me off.
17:59As soon as the job of his ends.
18:03So, uh, did you have a plan beyond feeding his delusions?
18:08Yeah, I'm, I'm working on it.
18:15What do you say, uh, work on it together?
18:22Yeah.
18:37Dr. Rolfe, you said you wanted me to call if there were any signs of life?
18:41Yeah.
18:43I'd say we definitely have got that.
18:48Look, there's a perfectly logical and frankly obvious explanation for the power increase.
18:56I'm listening.
18:57The free clinic is new.
18:59Naturally, we've had an increase in electricity in that part of the building.
19:02It had been standing empty for many months, as you know, since it's no longer occupied by television production.
19:09Yeah.
19:09I know that it makes sense that the new free clinic would use additional electricity, but it can possibly be
19:18even close to the amount that's being channeled into that lab.
19:23It's too damn high, E.J.
19:27You'll have to excuse me for a moment.
19:29Oh.
19:48No, Jeremy having an accomplice just doesn't track.
19:53Why not?
19:55Because Marlena worked up a profile on it.
19:58Apparently, he's become quite the loner.
20:01Now, this was a crime of passion.
20:03Why would he bring somebody else along?
20:06No, my gut tells me this isn't likely.
20:11So, does your gut have any other ideas?
20:15If Jeremy didn't have an accomplice, there's only one other possibility.
20:21Which is?
20:23That Jeremy's not the stalker.
20:26And he didn't kidnap Stephanie.
20:30There has to be a way to get out of here.
20:32Something that Owen didn't think of.
20:35I wouldn't count on it.
20:36He's nuts, but he's methodical.
20:40Maybe if we can get him to take us out of these cuffs voluntarily, like, like, convince him that it's
20:46safe somehow.
20:49I have a feeling he'd be very willing to free one of us.
20:54Stephanie?
20:59Those voices that we heard before, someone has to be out there at least some of the time, right?
21:06Yeah, why?
21:07What are you thinking?
21:10Her gags.
21:12You forgot them.
21:16So the minute that we hear anyone from outside that could potentially be another person, we need to scream.
21:21Like, our lives depend on it, which they do.
21:24Right.
21:25Yeah, I can do that.
21:27And in the meantime, we have to try to...
21:29We have to try to get out of these cuffs ourselves.
21:32Well, we did try.
21:34All we've got was sore wrists.
21:39But we didn't...
21:39We didn't do it the right way.
21:45I'd almost forgotten.
21:49But when I did some research, there's apparently a way that you can dislocate your own thumb.
21:55What were you...
21:56What were you researching?
21:59My novel.
22:05What do you think?
22:09Can't hurt to try.
22:12Well, actually, it will hurt.
22:16But no pain.
22:18No gain, right?
22:21That's a rumor.
22:25Okay, so I'll explain how you do it.
22:26No, wait.
22:28What?
22:29Did you...
22:30Did you hear something?
22:31No.
22:32It's...
22:34We should both hurt ourselves.
22:36Before we try to find our way out of here.
22:38Just...
22:39Let me do it.
22:52Well?
22:54Well?
22:55You gonna show me the lab or not?
22:56I'm sorry, Mayor, but I need to take care of something.
22:58How the hell you do?
23:00Now, that's just another pathetic excuse to get rid of me.
23:03Not an excuse.
23:04You know...
23:05The city on-site manager, he's around.
23:08He's around here someplace.
23:10Why don't I just give him a quick call?
23:12He has been itching to shut down that lab.
23:17You don't...
23:18Madam Mayor?
23:19Please.
23:20You don't need to do that.
23:23Just give me one minute, okay?
23:34I'm sorry, Kat, but we'll have to...
23:38We'll have to do this tomorrow morning.
23:40Have a good night, okay?
23:42Uh, yeah, of course.
23:44Till tomorrow.
23:45Uh, good night, Madam Mayor.
23:59Madam Mayor, let me see.
24:02Yes!
24:03Yes, this is it.
24:05This is the moment we have been waiting for.
24:07Has there been any additional activity?
24:10What?
24:11What?
24:11Uh, no, I've been silent now since I...
24:18I need your help.
24:20Right now.
24:25So, are you taking me on a tour of the lab, or not?
24:30Well, it seems like I have no choice.
24:33Please come with me.
24:34Oh, okay.
24:35Well, give me one minute.
24:36The city manager, he's on site here somewhere.
24:38I just, I want him to join us.
24:40I wouldn't do that.
24:43I wouldn't do that.
24:44Then why not?
24:46Because if I were you, I would take a look myself first,
24:51before you decide who gets to see what's there.
25:08Thank you so much for calling, sweetheart.
25:11Thank you so much for calling, sweetheart.
25:21Well, as well as can be expected.
25:25I keep calling him and Tripp and trying to fill them in on what's going on.
25:29They both volunteer to come here, but I told them not to, because I mean, really, what could
25:33they do to help?
25:34Well, those are good young men you've got there.
25:37Yeah, but I think, uh, they must be going slightly crazy not being able to help find their sister,
25:43you know?
25:44I mean, the only thing that's keeping me sane is knowing that there are so many people
25:47out there who are trying to help us find her.
25:50We would do anything for you and Steve.
25:53You know that.
25:55I know that.
25:57And really, thank you to both of you.
26:01We couldn't do this without you.
26:06All right, so it's possible that someone dropped the phone at the school on purpose.
26:10They planted it there to frame Jeremy.
26:12It's likely, in fact.
26:16And maybe, maybe Thomas wasn't the one that was supposed to find it.
26:21Or he wasn't supposed to find it then.
26:24Let's say a cop found it today or a few days from now.
26:27We would have assumed that Jeremy dropped it after the kidnapping.
26:32Which would have made sense, because we still don't know when this son of a bitch or whoever
26:39he is made his move.
26:40Right.
26:44But I don't know.
26:45I don't know, Steve.
26:46I think we're grasping a straws here.
26:48I mean, you said it yourself.
26:50The evidence against Jeremy is overwhelming.
26:53Yeah.
26:54Maybe too overwhelming.
27:00Wait.
27:01When I was a kid, I could bend my thumb all the way back to freak people out.
27:06You couldn't do that, right?
27:09Yeah.
27:10So, I'm up.
27:14Okay.
27:16You're the expert.
27:17Talk me through this.
27:19Okay.
27:21Can you, can you move your hand around so I can see?
27:25Okay.
27:28Okay, you are flexible.
27:30So, the, the joint that you want to dislocate is at the base of your thumb, the meaty part.
27:36You just want to wriggle it out of place.
27:41Just, yeah, yeah, yeah, like that, like that, just, just keep going.
27:51I mean, I know, I know, I know, I know, but you're so close.
27:54You're so close.
27:57Help!
27:58Help!
27:59Help!
27:59Help!
28:01Help!
28:08Really was a nice try.
28:11Help!
28:19You keep screaming like that.
28:22Yeah.
28:24You might actually wake the dead.
28:35Well, Madam Mayor, this should answer all your questions.
28:45Dr. Roth?
28:48What is that?
28:54Someone is in there, isn't there?
29:00Who the hell is it?
29:16Uh...
29:17I've been...
29:23I've been...
29:44I've been...
29:49so uh you okay there yeah yeah i'm sorry i was just thinking that i never told you that
29:57alex and stephanie aren't what they did yeah on valentine's day your anniversary so now you
30:06and stephanie had the same one well no sweet isn't it yeah they said that they are going to
30:13throw a big wedding celebration you know for all their family and friends and and the people who
30:19love them well they better do that oh hey tam i'd better do that we'll all be there to celebrate
30:27that wonderful couple
30:30yeah
30:36so
