TVTranscript
00:14Good morning.
00:15That's funny, I didn't hear the doorbell.
00:17Oh, you really should get that lock upgraded.
00:19I've got it down to three seconds flat.
00:22Ah, coffee, thank goodness.
00:24I hope it's not that hazelnut nonsense.
00:27We got that French roast that you like.
00:29Question for you, who is Dan Vartell?
00:33Oh, this lovely real estate agent I met.
00:36Why is it on my fridge? Are you looking to buy something?
00:38No, to sell. Uh, sugar?
00:40Left cabinet, do you own a property that I don't know about?
00:43Because if you do, I'm sure the coffee over there would be really good.
00:45No, it's for you to sell this pied-Ă -terre.
00:48You should always have a sale in place before a big job.
00:50But this is my home.
00:51No, it's a trap. You set down roots, and then you wake up one morning
00:56and realize you've been living next to the same people for 25 years.
01:00Same faces, same casserole smells, same tedious book clubs.
01:05That's not freedom, darling. That is just captivity with better drapes.
01:09Some people will call that stability, Mom.
01:11Stability.
01:13It's just fear wearing pearls.
01:14Trust me, I was born into it.
01:16Family estates, summer homes, portraits of long-dead relatives staring down at you every dinner.
01:21I gave that all up for your father, and the thrill of the con.
01:24And I have never once regretted it.
01:26I left it too, but this is my home. My life.
01:31We must be prepared to leave in a moment's notice, especially given the current circumstances.
01:36So, give him a call. He's also very cute.
01:39Maybe a sale and a fling might help ease the transition?
01:43Okay, I'd love to sing and chat, but I have a police charity event today,
01:47and I have no idea what I'm gonna wear.
01:49Why didn't you tell me? I have already been in your closet,
01:52but I'm sure we can find something acceptable for you to wear.
01:57All right, you just make sure that champagne is chilling by the time we get there.
02:01All right, no, you the man.
02:03Hi, dog, Yates. That fit is fitting.
02:08Had to crush a housewife's toe just to get it on Black Friday.
02:12Wow, looking good, Chief.
02:13Thank you, as do you both. Standing pants?
02:16Oh, yeah, of course.
02:17Same.
02:17Standing pants?
02:18Yeah, trim fit. Knife edge crease.
02:20Pants that look great standing up, but too tight to sit in comfortably.
02:23As opposed to sitting pants when you're sitting around working all day.
02:25Oh, well, I just hope that you two have been practicing your photo wall poses.
02:30Bam!
02:30Watch out now.
02:31Because I've been practicing mine all week.
02:33I think I might get discovered tonight, boys.
02:34Yeah, you will.
02:35Well, look what the cat named Mark dragged in. You clean up nice, Detective.
02:39Thank you, Yates. Looking good yourself.
02:40Standing pants?
02:41Oh, yeah.
02:42Wow. Hello, hot stuff.
02:43Right back at you, baby.
02:46You got things about yourself.
02:48Anyone can see.
02:50Look at you guys. You're the best dressed cops in the city.
02:53Okay, let's get going, kids, before fashionably late turns into just late.
02:57See ya, bro.
03:00It's a beautiful dress.
03:02I've never seen you in a tux before.
03:04It's a reptile.
03:05You should keep it.
03:06You wear it well.
03:07Maybe I will.
03:11I should take this.
03:12I'll catch up with you.
03:13Okay, I'll see you out there.
03:15Hi, Mr. Bartell.
03:17I'm sorry, Dan.
03:17I'm not ready to sell right now.
03:19I apologize that you were given this information, but I'm busy tonight and tomorrow.
03:23Bye.
03:27Heads up.
03:28The 911 calls been routed to the bullpen.
03:30I got it, Tony.
03:30Thanks.
03:35Hello?
03:35Hello.
03:35Hello, is anybody there?
03:37Yeah, this is Max at the Metro Police Department.
03:38What's going on?
03:39I've been kidnapped.
03:40Please, please, you have to help me.
03:47What's your name?
03:48Veronica Dreskin, please.
03:49Please, you have to help me.
03:50It's a woman named Veronica.
03:51She said she's been kidnapped.
03:53Hey, Veronica, I have my boss here, Chief Lee.
03:55Veronica, this is Chief Patrick Lee.
03:57Can you tell me where you're being held right now?
03:59I don't know.
03:59I don't know.
04:00It's okay.
04:01Breathe.
04:01We're gonna get through this.
04:02Veronica, I need to get some information from you so we can help you.
04:05Can you tell me if you saw your kidnappers?
04:06No.
04:07I was walking this morning on my way to City Hall and it started to rain,
04:11so I ducked down the alley off Hubstick to go in the side entrance
04:14and then this van pulled up beside me and two men jumped out
04:17and before I knew it, they threw a bag over my head.
04:19They threw me in the van and they zip tied my hands, which are still bound
04:22and then they didn't take the bag off my head until I got into this room.
04:26Are you hurt?
04:27No.
04:29I'm just...
04:30I'm just freaking out.
04:32It's okay.
04:32Do you know what time this happened around?
04:33It was around 8.45 this morning.
04:35Okay, you said you were in a van.
04:37Do you have any idea how long it was driving for?
04:39Yeah, maybe half hour or 45 minutes.
04:42Yates, get a map set up in the conference room.
04:44Check all the CCTV footage around the City Hall at that time.
04:48Veronica, did they say anything?
04:50No, not a peep.
04:51Okay.
04:52Where are the kidnappers now?
04:53I don't know.
04:53I heard their footsteps go down the hall.
04:55I don't think they can hear me.
04:56They let you keep your cell?
04:57No.
04:58How are you calling us?
04:59I built a phone.
05:01I found a painted over wall cover and so I was just hoping there would be an old phone
05:07jack inside.
05:08So I tried to find something to open it up and when I did, there was no phone jack, but
05:11there were these phone wires.
05:13So all I needed was a way to hear and be heard.
05:18Every smoke alarm has this like small speaker inside, so I was able to hook it up and then
05:22I tapped out 9-1-1 with the wires and I just prayed that someone would answer and you did.
05:28You built a phone?
05:29What are you, MacGyver?
05:31I'm a building inspector for the city.
05:32Never thought that would pay off in an emergency, but here we are.
05:36Veronica, when they took the bag off your head, did you see your kidnappers?
05:38Yeah, there was a big guy in a ski mask.
05:42He took the bag off my head, took a picture with his phone and then he just left.
05:46Simmons, get a trace on this.
05:48Find out everything you can about Veronica Dreskin.
05:52Veronica, do you have any idea who might have kidnapped you or why?
05:55No, I mean it can't be for ransom.
05:57We're not rich.
05:58We?
05:58My husband, Todd and I.
05:59He's middle management.
06:01Veronica, this is Detective Ellis.
06:02Are you connected to anybody who could afford to pay a ransom?
06:05No.
06:05My parents are gone and my brother's just a mechanic.
06:08Where can we reach your husband?
06:09He works at GroundPen.
06:10It's an HVAC company.
06:12He's there right now.
06:13He's got a really big presentation today.
06:15I'll go track him down.
06:17Veronica, can you tell us anything about the room that you're in?
06:20It's small.
06:22Maybe 300 square feet.
06:24No windows.
06:25Seems like a basement.
06:26Maybe an old commercial building.
06:29That's great.
06:29What else?
06:29The floors are cracked linoleum.
06:32The door is metal.
06:33No handle inside.
06:34Sir, it's ready.
06:36Thank you, Veronica.
06:37Just hold tight a minute.
06:38We're gonna map out our next move here.
06:39No, no.
06:39Don't hang up, please.
06:40We're still here.
06:41We can hear you, okay?
06:41We're not going anywhere.
06:44Come with me.
06:44It's gonna get loud in here in a minute.
06:46I got them to set up a private area for you.
06:48Me.
06:52Veronica is on that phone.
06:54The conference speaker is an open channel to us in the bullpen so we can talk to each other.
06:57Now the monitor will allow you to see exactly what we see.
07:00Stay on with her.
07:01Keep her calm.
07:02Get as many details as you can.
07:03I need to go set up the TRT unit.
07:05Are you sure you want me on the phone with her?
07:06Shouldn't we call in like a hostage negotiator?
07:08Max, I was sitting on a bomb and he got me through it.
07:10I can't think of anyone better to help her through this.
07:13Sir, wait.
07:14Are there any protocols I should follow or tips?
07:17Just be yourself.
07:18If you can talk a mark out of a million dollars, you can talk her into staying calm.
07:22Max, you got this.
07:30Hi, Veronica.
07:30It's Max again.
07:31Hi, Max.
07:32Okay, I'm gonna be on the phone with you until we find you, okay?
07:35Okay, thank you.
07:36Yates.
07:37Jack has the map ready for you.
07:38Great.
07:42Max.
07:43Veronica?
07:43Give me a second.
07:44All right, I'm here.
07:45What do you need?
07:46We got the map up.
07:46Can you see it?
07:47Yeah.
07:48Got it.
07:48Okay, great.
07:49We need to narrow down where she might be.
07:51Okay, where do we start?
07:52We need her to walk us through the incident again, okay?
07:54Sounds, smells, anything.
07:56People can always remember more than they think they can.
07:58Okay.
07:58I'm putting her on.
08:00Veronica?
08:01I have Detective Yates on with us.
08:03Hi, Veronica.
08:03Hi.
08:04Okay, Veronica, you said you were grabbed in the alley off sinks.
08:08Then you were in the car for about 45 minutes.
08:11Can you think back to when you were first in the van?
08:13It's downtown.
08:15Was the road smooth?
08:16Bumpy?
08:17Actually, yeah.
08:18Um, the road was smooth and then after a couple of minutes we turned right and the road got bumpy.
08:24Okay, good.
08:24Bumpy how?
08:25Like speed bumps or maybe a construction zone?
08:27Like construction.
08:28Like those, um...
08:29You know, those metal plates they put in the road when they're working?
08:32Wait, that must have been Carlton Street.
08:34They're, um, working on the sewers there.
08:36How long were you on Carlton?
08:37A couple minutes, I think.
08:39I don't know.
08:39And then, um, and then we turned and the road smoothed out again.
08:43Okay, what else?
08:43I don't know.
08:44I don't know.
08:44That's it.
08:46Close your eyes.
08:47Put yourself back into the SUV.
08:48What can you remember?
08:51Downhill.
08:53Yeah, we went down a steep grade and then the road noise changed.
08:57Changed how?
08:57The tires made like a different sound.
09:00Like we were going over like a metal grid or something.
09:03Wait, I got it.
09:04That must be Monroe Street Bridge.
09:05Are you sure?
09:06Yes, yes.
09:06It's an open grade bridge at the bottom of a hill.
09:08I go over it all the time.
09:09Monroe Street Bridge.
09:10She's going east out of the city.
09:12That went on for a couple of minutes and, um...
09:15Nothing else stands out.
09:16Did that help?
09:17Absolutely.
09:18Great work.
09:20What you got?
09:21Based on what Veronica's told us, she's somewhere in the eastern section of the city here.
09:24Still a big area, but better than before.
09:26Yeah.
09:27Also, Ellis was able to track down Todd, Veronica's husband.
09:29Wasn't he at work?
09:30No, he was not.
09:33What?
09:33Veronica's been kidnapped?
09:35What, you expect us to believe you have nothing to do with it?
09:36Of course I don't.
09:37No.
09:38So you're saying you haven't received a ransom call?
09:39No.
09:40This is the first I'm hearing about any of this.
09:41When did this happen?
09:42This morning.
09:43You told your wife you had a big presentation, and our officers find you at home in bed with
09:47another woman, Sheila.
09:49Convenient timing.
09:50Oh, it's classic.
09:51Get your wife out of the picture, then you and your mistress ride off into the sunset.
09:54Nice little payday.
09:54I swear I had nothing to do with it.
09:56Is she okay?
09:57For now.
09:58Thank God.
09:58Do you have anything that's ransom worthy?
10:00Cash?
10:01Expensive art?
10:02Rare collectibles?
10:03What?
10:03No.
10:03We're gonna need to take a look at your financials, life insurance policies.
10:06We don't have life insurance.
10:08I canceled our policy months ago.
10:09How'd you do that?
10:10I couldn't afford it.
10:11She and your wife have steady jobs, no?
10:12Yeah, but financing and double life can be pretty expensive.
10:14Right, Todd?
10:15Listen, I may be a bad husband, but I have nothing to do with Veronica being kidnapped.
10:21I swear.
10:22And you have an alibi?
10:23This morning?
10:238.45?
10:24Sheila came to my place at 8.30.
10:27Right after Veronica left.
10:29Do you have any idea who would want to kidnap Veronica or why?
10:31No clue.
10:32Everyone loves Veronica.
10:33Everyone loves Veronica.
10:35Except a cheating husband.
10:40Hey, just spoke to Todd.
10:42He says he was at home at 8.30 and his mistress can confirm it.
10:45So Todd has an alibi, but he still could have hired someone to take out his wife.
10:47I don't know.
10:48We just checked his financials.
10:49He can barely afford to put gas in his car.
10:51Well, her husband is bad, but maybe not kidnapped bad.
10:54What should we do with him?
10:55Keep him here.
10:56Kidnap her so they call him.
10:57All right, I'll let Simmons know.
10:58I'll check in with text, see about the phone trace.
11:00What are you going to tell her, Max?
11:01Well, I'm not going to tell her that her husband's a lying, cheating, dog-brass scumbag.
11:04She's already got enough on her plate.
11:05Yeah, good call.
11:09Okay.
11:10Hey, Veronica, I'm here.
11:12Hi.
11:12Did you get a hold of Todd?
11:13Has there been a ransom call?
11:14Oh, well, we finally located him, but no ransom call.
11:17Didn't know that you've been kidnapped.
11:19Wait, so they haven't even contacted him yet?
11:21I don't understand.
11:22What's the point of a kidnapping with no ransom?
11:24Well, that's not what we're trying to work out.
11:26Unless, of course, I'm never getting released.
11:29Don't go there.
11:30We're going to find you.
11:31Okay.
11:32Wait, Max, you said finally located him.
11:36Those were your words.
11:37You said finally located him, but I told you that he was at work for a big presentation today.
11:41Well, I can find out the details from the officers that picked him up.
11:45He was with her, wasn't he?
11:47Sheila?
11:49Tell me the truth, please.
11:52Veronica, I'm sorry.
11:57He was with his mistress while I was being kidnapped.
12:00What?
12:04You knew about her?
12:06Yeah.
12:08A few months back I saw some texts, but he promised to end it.
12:11But he did it.
12:13We did therapy and all that, and I don't know.
12:16I guess some part of me knew he never ended anything.
12:20You know, the irony is I even planned us a surprise trip, hoping we can reconnect.
12:24I guess that was just a band-aid solution for the real problem.
12:29I've just been in denial.
12:34I feel so stupid.
12:35You're not stupid.
12:36And you're not to blame, okay?
12:38You don't have to say that just to keep me calm.
12:40I'm not.
12:41Sometimes it feels easier to just avoid some things altogether.
12:45My whole job is about finding flaws in buildings.
12:49I couldn't even see the cracks in my own marriage.
12:52Relax.
12:53Veronica, hold on.
12:55Yes, Chief?
12:56We just heard back from tech.
12:58They can't trace the line.
12:59It's like it doesn't exist.
13:00Well, how can that be?
13:01They don't know.
13:01Well, she's a building inspector.
13:03Maybe she will.
13:04Veronica, we're having a hard time tracing the line you're calling from.
13:07Are techies saying the number doesn't exist?
13:10Any idea why that might be?
13:11Because it's a ghost line.
13:13What's that?
13:14In abandoned commercial buildings, the phone numbers drop off the telecom provider's records.
13:19There's no paper trails or database entry.
13:21It's like...
13:22It's like the phone version of Ghost in the Walls.
13:24Which makes it impossible to trace.
13:26Does that mean you're not going to find me?
13:27It means we're going to have to find another way.
13:30Veronica, visit Detective Ellis.
13:31He's my partner.
13:33Can you think of anybody who might have a grudge against you?
13:35Honestly, no.
13:36I can't.
13:37Veronica, breathe.
13:38Take a breath, okay?
13:39Think.
13:39Okay, um...
13:41What was the question?
13:42Is there anyone you can think of who might want to harm you?
13:44Maybe somebody at work.
13:45That's crazy.
13:46I can't think of anybody.
13:47I just...
13:49Wait a minute.
13:50No, there is a guy.
13:51He's a real estate developer with like a really scary temper.
13:55He left me a bunch of threatening voicemails yesterday.
13:57I can't believe I didn't remember that.
13:58It just feels like so long ago.
14:00Okay, you're doing great, Veronica.
14:01What's his name?
14:03Oh my god, I hear something.
14:04Veronica?
14:04I hear something.
14:06Someone's coming.
14:06Veronica?
14:08Are you okay?
14:09If you can hear us, we're still here.
14:15Damn it.
14:19Veronica?
14:23Chief, it's been ten minutes.
14:25We have to go get her.
14:26Actually, we can't call back a ghost line.
14:27Look, I just got off the phone with Veronica's supervisor, okay?
14:30The building developer that she was talking about.
14:32His name's Arturo Bianchi.
14:33Some glorified slumlord with mob ties.
14:35Go talk to him.
14:36I'll get Simmons to run a background check on Bianchi for you.
14:38What if we lost her?
14:39What if they already got her?
14:40Max, we don't have enough information to panic yet.
14:42Well, it's never stopped me before.
14:44We're doing everything that we can.
14:45Let's just focus on what we can control.
14:48Okay.
14:48DRT are prepped and ready when you have a location.
14:51I'll update them.
14:52Max, stay on the phone.
14:54You're the voices she's going to want to hear as soon as she gets back online.
15:06I appreciate you dressing up for me, detectives.
15:09But I only got five minutes.
15:10Mr. Bianchi, I hear you recently clashed with a Veronica Dreskin.
15:13Of course I did.
15:14I'm a developer.
15:15And Sherlock Holmes inspector's costing me millions.
15:18How's she doing that?
15:18Well, she loves to spot the tiniest little details other people don't even notice.
15:22Which makes her a real pain in my ass.
15:24All her code violations are going to set me back at least a month.
15:27You know what that's going to cost?
15:28Sounds to me like she's good at her job.
15:30Uh-uh.
15:30Other inspectors, they understand the big picture.
15:33They know I got deadlines.
15:35Veronica is always nitpicking.
15:37Veronica's been kidnapped.
15:39Whoa.
15:40You're kidding, right?
15:41No.
15:42You think I had something to do with that?
15:43Well, you did threaten her when she wouldn't drop the violations.
15:46Well, yeah, I was angry, but that's just how we talk.
15:49You ever worked at a construction site?
15:51Look, I didn't do anything crazy.
15:52I'm a businessman.
15:53Where were you this morning at 8.15am?
15:55I was here.
15:56I've been here since sunrise.
15:57Ask anyone.
15:58I'll need a list of all your properties that have basements.
16:00Yeah, not a problem.
16:02Veronica, she's a pain.
16:04She's a smart lady.
16:05I respect that.
16:06So, whatever I can do to help.
16:08Thanks for your time.
16:17Max?
16:18We got her back.
16:18911 is back.
16:19Turn her through.
16:21Veronica?
16:23I'm okay.
16:24What happened?
16:24Did they hurt you?
16:25No.
16:26They just brought me food.
16:27Food?
16:28Yeah, he just handed it to me and left.
16:30That's a good sign, right?
16:31Maybe they won't kill me?
16:32Veronica, it's Detective Yates again.
16:34Can you tell us more about the food and be detailed?
16:36Yeah.
16:37It's a cheeseburger and fries from the Golden Bun.
16:41Were the fries curly or straight cut?
16:43Yates, what are you doing?
16:45Their curly fries are to die for, sir.
16:47Not you, Veronica.
16:48I think Yates is onto something.
16:50Are the fries still hot?
16:52Yeah.
16:52Yeah, they're still warm.
16:54Yates, she's gotta be near our Golden Bun.
16:56Mm-hmm.
16:58Okay.
16:58There are 25 Golden Bun locations in the city,
17:01but we know she's in the eastern section of the city,
17:03so that cuts the number down to 15 locations.
17:06And if Veronica is right,
17:07and she did go over the Monroe Street Bridge,
17:09we can eliminate these five locations.
17:11Leaving ten locations.
17:12Mm-hmm.
17:13And warm fries means that she's within five minutes of one of them.
17:16Tony!
17:17The kidnappers picked up an order of a cheeseburger and fries,
17:20and Veronica's line dropped.
17:21We need to figure out which Golden Buns took that exact order
17:24within that specific time frame.
17:26You got it, Chief.
17:27Tony, pick me up a number five, would ya?
17:29Extra pickles and cheese.
17:31Get yourself something, too.
17:32Thanks.
17:40I haven't had a burger in over a year.
17:42Why not?
17:42Todd was really into clean eating and healthy habits,
17:44and I was just trying to be supportive,
17:46but from now on, I'm eating whatever the hell I want.
17:49Fries before it dies.
17:50And Manchester.
17:51Oh, hold on, Veronica.
17:54Please have some good news.
17:56Bianchi's alibi holds up.
17:58None of the properties he owns
17:59match the kind of building Veronica's being held in.
18:01Okay, well what about the threatening voicemails?
18:02Apparently she's relentless
18:04about finding even the smallest code violations.
18:06All the builders call her Sherlock Holmes.
18:08You know, spelled like H-O-M-E-S.
18:10I get it.
18:11Boys are so lame.
18:13Bottom line, Bianchi's a dead end.
18:15Maybe not.
18:16I'll call you back.
18:18Veronica?
18:19Still here.
18:20Any leads?
18:21Just your nickname.
18:23You mean Sherlock Holmes, spelled H-O-M-E-S?
18:26You make these idiots' lives miserable
18:28by focusing on the tiny details, right?
18:30Proudly, yes.
18:31So put that funny hat on with the ear flaps, okay?
18:34Look around the room.
18:35What do you see?
18:36Take your time.
18:39Stare and tell me the story.
18:49Okay, the ceiling is paneled, probably suspended, which is normal for a commercial building.
18:57The doorframe is wide, which means cinder block masonry.
19:04There's a metal beam on the wall, which, uh, is non-combustible.
19:09Means this building's probably more than six floors.
19:11Okay, that's good.
19:12What else?
19:14Rock wall.
19:16It's, uh, it's been re-insulated.
19:18How do you know?
19:19The insulation doesn't look degraded.
19:21It means it was probably insulated with asbestos initially.
19:25Someone coming?
19:31Whoever approves the removal of asbestos is supposed to leave a tag right at the edge here.
19:42205-794.
19:44That's the building inspector's ID.
19:47The date is faded, but the year is 1998.
19:51Okay, can we look this up?
19:52It'll be in the records at City Hall.
19:54It's amazing, Veronica.
19:58I hear something.
19:59What is it?
20:07It's a man's voice coming from the next room.
20:11He's yelling for help.
20:14They're coming.
20:15Don't hang up.
20:20Where are you taking me?
20:22Where are we going?
20:23Please, don't.
20:24Stop, stop, don't hurt me.
20:26Please.
20:28Max, Max, do you hear that?
20:30They're holding somebody else here.
20:31What does that mean?
20:32What do they want?
20:33I don't know.
20:34Hang on.
20:35Chief?
20:36I heard.
20:37Seems like we're dealing with two kidnappings.
20:42Chief!
20:43Yeah?
20:44So two people were kidnapped?
20:45It seems like it.
20:46It sounded like the other person there was being moved.
20:48Another hostage makes a no-ransom thing even weirder, no?
20:50Simmons, look in the reports for the last 24 hours.
20:53Let's make sure another kidnapping or missing persons report didn't get lost in the shuffle.
20:56I'm on it right now.
20:57You and you.
20:58Let's go, you're with me.
20:59The golden buns are dead end.
21:01Hundreds of that exact meal were ordered during the timeframe at those locations.
21:04Of course.
21:05We're gathering all their CCTV footage, but it's gonna take hours.
21:07Damn it.
21:09Thank you, Tony.
21:14What if I'm next?
21:15Remember what I said, don't go there.
21:17You have big things to do, like dump your sleazebag husband.
21:21True.
21:22I have an idea.
21:24Let's play the alphabet game.
21:25What's that?
21:26We go through the alphabet, one letter at a time.
21:29I'll name something and then you go.
21:31You can definitely think of a word that starts with a B.
21:33Maybe I'll start with C.
21:35On second thought, let's go straight to D.
21:37Donut.
21:39Deception.
21:40Elephant.
21:41Extensions.
21:41The cheap kind.
21:42Frog.
21:43Fake, like her tan.
21:44I'm sensing a theme here.
21:49I know what you're doing, Max.
21:50And I really appreciate it.
21:52You have no idea what it means to me to have your voice on the end of this line.
21:56You tell me in person when you get out of there, okay?
22:00I hope so.
22:07Okay.
22:08Where were we?
22:10The letter G.
22:12Guacamole.
22:13Guacamole.
22:13Gold digger.
22:14Hamster.
22:14Homewrecker.
22:18Chief, got ourselves another kidnapping.
22:19Came in this morning.
22:20Talk to me.
22:21All right.
22:22Name's Ramona Alvarez.
22:23Witness says he was snatching broad daylight, thrown in a vehicle just outside his house.
22:27Another black SUV?
22:28Yeah.
22:29You guessed it.
22:29Another black SUV.
22:30Vanier Park.
22:31House is not on our radar.
22:32Uniform went out, did a knock and talk.
22:34His husband said there must be a mix up.
22:35Ramona's just fine.
22:36Sounded a little too short if you ask me.
22:38Chief, call Ellis.
22:39Tell him we need a remote statement in person.
22:42Hey, Chief.
22:43Retrace the inspector's ID number from the asbestos free tag.
22:46He approved 36 buildings in the city in 1998.
22:49How many in our zone?
22:4920.
22:50Tell Yates to get this up on the map.
22:53Zebra.
22:53Zipper.
22:54If only he kept his closed.
22:56Max?
22:57Veronica, hold on a second.
22:59There has been a second abduction.
23:00Ellis is following up and we've narrowed the buildings down to about 20.
23:04So let's try and get some more details.
23:06Veronica, I have my chief here.
23:07Veronica, all the information you've given us thus far has been a great help and we are
23:11getting closer.
23:12Now you mentioned that you're in a commercial building.
23:14How do you know this?
23:15Because of the cinder block primarily.
23:17Cinder block like this isn't normally used for residential homes.
23:19That's great.
23:20Anything else?
23:21Yeah, the mortaring.
23:22These cinder blocks have thick irregular joints, so the building's probably old.
23:27Probably older than 1950 when the mortaring style changed.
23:30Okay, fantastic.
23:31You can call the public works department and get a city engineer that can help narrow that down.
23:35Copy that.
23:37Nice work, Veronica.
23:39Do you think it helped?
23:41I knew it did.
23:47Hi.
23:48Detective Ellis, Metro PD.
23:50Just hoping to speak with Ramon today.
23:52That's my husband.
23:52I have some questions about an abduction report.
23:55Ramon!
23:58Ramon, this is Detective Vellis.
24:00He's here about the whole kidnapping thing.
24:02Well, here I am.
24:04Not kidnapped.
24:06I'm very glad to see that.
24:07Sorry you were sent on a wild goose chase.
24:09Your neighbor, Dorothy Banks, reported that a black SUV pulled up in front of your house.
24:14Ramon was dragged inside and then it sped away.
24:16Do you have any idea why she would have made up such an elaborate and specific claim?
24:20Dorothy's like 90.
24:21Yeah, she calls 911 more times than she calls her family.
24:24I mean, she once accused me of stealing pound cakes from her freezer.
24:27Turns out she was sleep eating.
24:29Alright, well I just have to ask for our records.
24:30Where were you both when Mrs. Banks reported the kidnapping?
24:33I was working in my home office and Landon was at the stadium.
24:36I got home less than an hour ago.
24:38I'm a relief pitcher for the Heat Wave.
24:40Just converted 10 straight saves.
24:42Go Heat Wave.
24:43Well, thanks for your time, gentlemen.
24:45Yeah.
24:45Appreciate it.
24:47Yeah.
24:51They're lying.
24:52Landon and Ramon say nothing happened, but the marks on Ramon's wrists tell a different story.
24:56They look like zip-tie marks.
24:58Veronica's wrists are still zip-tied.
24:59Now, why would Ramon and his husband lie about him getting kidnapped?
25:03Because they're hiding something.
25:05I just found something that can prove it.
25:10We got this from your neighbor's doorbell camera this morning.
25:19Why did you lie to me about the kidnapping?
25:20I promised Landon I wouldn't say anything.
25:22What, has he got something to do with this?
25:23No.
25:25I mean, it's complicated.
25:26The kidnappers took me to get to him.
25:28And when he did what they said, they brought me back home.
25:30What do you mean he did what they said?
25:32I'm sorry, I can't tell you.
25:33If the truth ever came out, it would ruin his career.
25:35You do realize obstructing justice can also ruin your career, right?
25:41After the kidnappers took Ramon, they called me with instructions.
25:45Alright, which were?
25:46Do you know anything about baseball?
25:48More of a football guy myself.
25:49I'm a relief pitcher.
25:51I throw one, maybe two innings a game.
25:53Tops.
25:53The kidnappers told me that during my inning, my first pitch had to go into the dirt.
25:57My second had to be a fastball.
25:59My third had to be a curveball.
26:00And my fourth had to be a sinker.
26:02Alright, why such specific pitches?
26:03They must have been fixing a micro-bet.
26:06What is that?
26:08Ramon's kidnapping wasn't about ransom.
26:10It's a sports bet hustle.
26:11Not just any regular game fixing.
26:13Micro-betting.
26:14Explain.
26:14It's not like traditional betting where you're betting on wins and losses.
26:17Instead, you're betting on a specific moment of a game.
26:19Yeah, like betting on how many times a tennis player would bounce the ball before he serves it.
26:23Or each pitch of an inning.
26:24Like Landon did.
26:25The kidnappers told Landon which pitches he had to throw in the game.
26:28So he did what they said, and then they released Ramon.
26:30Yeah.
26:33Max?
26:34Oh, hold on, Veronica.
26:35No, no, no. Don't mute me.
26:36Veronica, do you know anyone in pro sports?
26:38No.
26:39It can be anyone, even remotely related.
26:41A ball boy, a caddy, anyone.
26:43My brother, Freddy.
26:44He's on Justin Allgaier's pit crew for the NASCAR O'Reilly series.
26:53The former champion Justin Allgaier.
26:55Justin, what would you say to the other drivers on the track today that are competing against you?
26:59Yeah, I mean, they're going to have a tougher ahead of them.
27:01You know, I think that this is going to be a big battle.
27:02We're excited.
27:03We're ready for the challenge, and we'll see what happens.
27:11Yeah, Freddy.
27:12This is Chief Patrick Lee from the Metropolitan Police.
27:14Listen very carefully.
27:15We know your sister, Veronica, has been killed.
27:17And we think the abductors have contacted you.
27:20Uh, I don't know what you're talking about.
27:21Listen, Freddy, this is Detective Ellis here.
27:23Now, I know you're scared, and I know I'm just a voice on the phone,
27:25but we are trying to save your sister, and we're running out of time.
27:28If you want to see her again, you're going to have to help us.
27:30Have they contacted you to fix the race?
27:32Uh, yes, they have.
27:34Is she okay?
27:35Yes, but we need to find her as soon as possible.
27:37Now, tell me exactly what they told you to do.
27:40We've been making tire stops all day.
27:41They didn't usually last longer than 15 seconds,
27:43but they told me to slow it down by at least a second each time.
27:45And you've been complying?
27:46Of course.
27:47I can't let them hurt her.
27:48Of course.
27:48You're doing great, Freddy.
27:49Get the race up on a monitor.
27:51They told me this next stop needs to be two seconds slower.
27:53That ain't gonna be easy.
27:54Just do exactly what they say, Freddy.
27:55Yeah.
27:56I'll do whatever it takes.
28:00First ability.
28:01Lesson time on turn four exit.
28:03Turn four, man.
28:03Pit this time.
28:04Right side only, guys.
28:05That's easy.
28:06You can't lose anything in this stop.
28:11I gotta go.
28:12Justin's coming in for a stop.
28:15Let's go.
28:15Okay.
28:16And it is one heck of a race we have tonight, folks.
28:20All Gires coming into the pit.
28:22The 88 car hot on his tail.
28:25All Gires pit has a very tight turn around here.
28:28They need to get it back out of there immediately.
28:30Time is of the essence.
28:32And what an unbelievable race we have here today, folks.
28:36This is neck and neck competition.
28:39Oh, and he dropped a left out in the stop.
28:42That's gonna cost him two seconds.
28:45Justin's proof she's gonna be sweating something awful right now.
28:48Good job, Freddy.
28:50It's a parlay.
28:52Pardon?
28:52It's a series of micro bets.
28:54Could be one game.
28:54Could be multiple across different sports.
28:56If you hit on all of your bets, you're walking away with a huge payday.
29:00How huge?
29:00The odds of you hitting on every one of your micro bets is astronomical.
29:04It's like betting on every shot in a championship game and getting them all right.
29:07Simmons and I ran an estimate.
29:09If you were to bet $10,000, say, on Landon's pitches, and on top of that, you correctly picked the
29:13timing from every one of Justin's pit stops, the payout is...
29:16Over 10 mil?
29:18I'm starting to think crime does pay.
29:20I have a city engineer.
29:21Gates, take that.
29:24Freddy.
29:25I just got benched.
29:26That drop button was our last chance.
29:28You gotta get back in there, Freddy.
29:30Hey, what happened?
29:31They just kicked Freddy out of the pit.
29:33We're down under 100 laps.
29:34There's only one pit stop left.
29:36Freddy, how long until the next stop?
29:37Uh, about an hour.
29:39He says about an hour.
29:40Which means we only got an hour to save Veronica.
29:45Ninety-seven laps to go here.
29:47It's been a hell of a race.
29:48Each team will need one more pit stop.
29:51Freddy, you gotta get back into the pit crew.
29:54Security won't let me through.
29:56I got in with my crew chief and tossed me off the track.
29:59Let me talk to your boss.
29:59I can't even get through until the race is over.
30:03We got something.
30:04Freddy, I'm gonna put you on mute.
30:06I'm still here. Hang tight.
30:07I talked to the city engineer, cross-referencing all the parameters we have.
30:10He narrowed down the commercial buildings that were built with cinder block in the mortar style that Veronica talked about.
30:16That leaves eight possible buildings where she could be.
30:19How many laps left in the race?
30:21Ninety-five.
30:22That was your 45 seconds of lap.
30:232,660 seconds, 45 minutes.
30:26What?
30:27I'm extra good at math when I'm hungry.
30:29That doesn't give our TRT unit enough time to check out all these buildings.
30:32Where's the team right now?
30:33Here. They should be entering any minute.
30:34Okay, instruct TRT to focus on these five buildings.
30:36Now, we're close enough to this section here.
30:38I'll hit these three buildings.
30:39They're never gonna be able to make it there in time.
30:40Copy that. Take Simmons with you.
30:41Okay, let's get suited up. Simmons, I'll meet you to the car in five.
30:44TRT, this is James.
30:45What if they hurt my brother?
30:47They won't. He's at the track. He's safe.
30:48I can't imagine how scared he's been this whole time.
30:51Are you too close?
30:52Yeah, we've always been close. He's my little brother.
30:55If I don't get out of here, he is never gonna forgive himself.
30:58You're amazing.
31:00What do you mean?
31:01Well, here you are, kidnapped, alone, scared,
31:04and all you're thinking about is how this is affecting your brother.
31:07You're a good person.
31:09Max?
31:11Give me a sec, Veronica.
31:13Hey, where are we with everything?
31:16We've narrowed down the list of buildings, but we only have 45 minutes left.
31:18Okay, what about her brother?
31:19She just got kicked out of the pit crew.
31:21Geez.
31:22Just don't tell her that.
31:23I won't.
31:24Look, I gotta go, but I just wanted to come here and tell you that...
31:28Veronica's really lucky that you picked up the phone today.
31:31Gotta go.
31:32Hey, Ellis?
31:34Yeah?
31:35You have to find her.
31:37Please.
31:44Sorry about that.
31:45Is everything okay?
31:46Yeah.
31:47My partner is out there looking for you.
31:50And trust me, there is no one I believe in more to save the day than him.
31:55Well, if you think that about him, he must be a special guy.
31:59He is.
32:01Okay, all of this is reminding me of a funny story.
32:04It's summer of 2016, and I'm in a hotel in Marrakesh with a belly dancer and three drunk spider monkeys.
32:11And the elevator gets stuck.
32:13Oh, and let me tell you, drunk spider monkeys do not like...
32:16Oh, yes!
32:17Maybe it was a petty reason to end a relationship, but Mabel's here up on popcorn?
32:20I need a man, somebody else, okay?
32:24Veronica?
32:26Are you there?
32:28I'm here.
32:29Did I put you to sleep?
32:30No.
32:30I've just been thinking.
32:33Why would they let me go?
32:35You know the other person you heard in there?
32:37They let him go.
32:39They did?
32:39Yep.
32:40He's safe and sound.
32:41Okay.
32:42Great.
32:44One more down, Chief.
32:46Ellis and Simmons just texted.
32:47The first building on their list is empty.
32:48They're on to the next.
32:52I hear something.
32:54They're coming.
32:55They're coming.
32:55I have to hide the phone.
32:57Stay quiet, Max.
33:11Luke.
33:15Please, don't do this.
33:19Hey.
33:21Smile.
33:23Chief Lee?
33:24Are you there?
33:25Freddy, I'm right here.
33:27I'm gonna call and think it's the kidnappers.
33:28What should I do?
33:29Okay.
33:30Call for some minutes so I can hear, then answer it.
33:35Hello?
33:36Check your phone, Freddy.
33:37I'm sending you a picture.
33:41It's awesome.
33:43Just a reminder.
33:45Only one more pit stop and she can go home.
33:47As long as you hold up on your end.
33:49They kicked me out of the pit for slowing things down.
33:51Then you better find a way back in there.
33:53Or your sister dies.
33:56Gates, where's Ellis?
33:57I got him right here.
33:57Hang on.
33:59Ellis, where are you?
34:00Yeah, the first building's empty.
34:02TRT's doing their part, but we still got two more buildings to clear.
34:04How many laps until he comes in for a pit stop?
34:06Freddy, how many laps until the pit stop?
34:07I don't know.
34:08No more than 20.
34:0820 laps.
34:09There's not enough time to check both buildings.
34:11Well, we gotta choose one.
34:12Yeah, which one?
34:19Please, you don't have to do this.
34:20You can just let me go, please.
34:21I promise I won't say anything.
34:22Your brother comes through.
34:24You'll be going home.
34:25If not...
34:26Please don't do this.
34:27Stay quiet until the race is over.
34:34Please don't do this.
34:35I don't want to end up a newspaper headline.
34:37It says shut up!
34:38No.
34:40Max, we need to make a choice.
34:42All guys are gonna come into pit on the next lap.
34:44They're coming in for the pit stop.
34:46They're coming in for the pit stop.
34:47I know where she is.
34:57This is it.
34:57They called a stop.
34:59Your brother's got one last chance to fix the pit time.
35:02He's been pulled.
35:03There's no way.
35:03Then he better find a way.
35:05Guess we'll see how much he loves you.
35:09Yeah.
35:23Son of a bitch.
35:26Your brother just killed you.
35:28No!
35:29Please!
35:30Please!
35:33No!
35:34Please don't shoot me!
35:35No!
35:35No!
35:36No!
35:36No!
35:43Alice, please.
35:46We got her.
35:47She's okay.
35:49All right.
35:53Freddy.
35:53We got her.
35:54Your sister's safe.
36:01Justin has managed to fight his way to only a half car
36:05away from behind the leader.
36:06He's going for it.
36:07He's going for it.
36:08He dives low.
36:09He snags the bottom rope.
36:10He makes the pass.
36:12And he wins it.
36:13That's unbelievable.
36:15He's coming from the highway for Justin Algaier.
36:21I'm sorry.
36:22I just really needed to hug someone.
36:24It's okay.
36:25I get it.
36:37You're safe now.
36:38It's over.
36:40Is this the phone you made?
36:42Yeah.
36:44Impressive.
36:44It worked in a pinch.
36:46If you're up for it.
36:47I think there's somebody who'd like to meet you.
36:52Hell of a day.
36:54I didn't say that again.
36:55You all right, Chief?
36:56It's getting old, Max.
36:58Max?
36:59Veronica?
37:01I'm not hallucinating, right?
37:03You're real.
37:07I...
37:07I don't know how to thank you.
37:09No need to thank me.
37:10Just so you know, we're going to be besties now.
37:13Obviously.
37:13Manny Patty's stat.
37:15Agreed.
37:17So, how'd you guys figure out where Veronica was anyway?
37:19Well, the last time the kidnappers came, they left the door open a crack.
37:22I looked down the hall and I saw the printing presses.
37:24And when I heard her mention that she was going to be a newspaper headline, I knew that she was
37:28giving me a clue that she was in the Old City Gazette printing plant.
37:31I was hoping you'd pick up on that.
37:33Veronica?
37:34Your husband is still in holding.
37:36Well, we can keep him for 24 hours if you want to make him sweat.
37:38As much as I would enjoy that.
37:40I don't want to waste one more second.
37:42Bring me to that scumbag.
37:45Tony?
37:45Let's take care of her.
37:46Will do, Chief.
37:50Listen up, everyone.
37:51Today, we did what we trained for.
37:55And then some.
37:56Max?
37:57He kept Veronica calm and he stayed the course.
37:59At one point, you talked to me about protocol.
38:02Wait, Max did that?
38:03Yeah.
38:04Really proud of all the hard work we did today.
38:05Working together.
38:06The handoffs were seamless, it was like.
38:08A pit crew?
38:09Alright, well, we're still in our swanky duds.
38:11So, someone say drinks.
38:13Let's say karaoke.
38:15I'm thinking Spice Girls.
38:16Yates, your baby Spice.
38:17Yeah, this baby needs chicken pot pie in bed.
38:19And not necessarily in that order.
38:21Well, I'm Scary Spice and I really, really, really want to go home.
38:25Sorry.
38:26I gotta get the hell out of these pants.
38:29Something tells me you don't know Mel C's rap from Wannabe?
38:32Afraid not.
38:34How dare you scare me like that?
38:36I had it all under control, okay?
38:38Promise.
38:39Can I give you a ride?
38:40No, I have way too much adrenaline from today.
38:43And I don't want this dress to go to waste.
38:45So, I guess I'll just go to karaoke on my own.
38:47Okay.
38:48Knock them dead.
38:49Send me a video.
38:50Send me a video.
38:55Hi darling, it's Mom.
38:57So, Dan the real estate agent called me and I told him you'd reconcil-
39:01Ellis, wait!
39:02I'll take that ride after all.
39:06Mom?
39:07Are you here?
39:08I think we need to talk about-
39:12We have company, honey.
39:14Hello, Max.
39:15To what do we owe the honor?
39:17Oh, I just drop by to make sure everything is on track.
39:21As you know, the fuck is ticking.
39:22Fine.
39:27I told Mr. Hayashi, everything is fine.
39:30Indeed.
39:31Couldn't be better.
39:32Tickety-boo.
39:34Nothing to worry about.
39:35Oh, I'm not the one who should be worried.
39:38Need I remind you, failure is not an option.
39:42At least not one I'd recommend.
39:55We got this.
39:57Right?
39:58Of course.
39:59Yeah.
40:00Okay, because if we make one wrong move, we're dead.
40:04And so is everybody else we love.
40:12Begin German lesson for today.
40:15Lesson 14.

40:18Listen first, then repeat.
40:19My uncle suffers from gout, but dad says anyway.
40:22Mein Onkel leidet an gicht, aber er tanzt trotzdem.
