00:17Creator and showrunner Ben Watkins returns as head writer,
00:20with Craig Siebels back as co-writer and director.
00:23The core team is staying intact,
00:24and that is a very good sign for the direction this show is heading.
00:28But before we jump ahead,
00:30let us break down everything that went down in Season 2, Episode 5.
00:34Climb, because this episode delivered.
00:37It opens with an autopsy on Lincoln Esteban,
00:39who apparently shot himself.
00:41Alex Cross, played by Aldous Hodge,
00:44and Craig, played by Ilona Tal,
00:46are not buying the suicide story for a second.
00:48Their focus quickly shifts to the mystery woman, Rebecca Matthews,
00:52who they believe is connected to everything.
00:54A new lead hands them a file on Rebecca's mother,
00:57and her suspicious death.
00:59Cross and Craig follow the trail all the way to Florida,
01:02where Cross finally comes face-to-face with Rebecca Matthews,
01:05played by Jeannie Mason,
01:07a meeting the entire season has been building toward.
01:09Back at her apartment,
01:11Craig gets a visit from Bobby Trey,
01:13played by Johnny Ray Gill,
01:15who shows her a deepfake video framing her for Thompson's suicide.
01:19Craig immediately identifies it as a setup by Bab Religion
01:23to pin the blame on Kayla.
01:25She sends Bobby to FBI agent Bruce Folsom,
01:27who owes her a favor.
01:29Things escalate when her boss Roy threatens her with suspension,
01:32but Craig flips it on him,
01:34presenting evidence that he is a dirty cop.
01:36The deepfake gets cracked,
01:38and the woman behind it is revealed to be someone named Felicia.
01:42Down in Florida,
01:43Cross confronts Rebecca,
01:45and pushes her to turn herself in,
01:47along with her evidence against Lance Durand,
01:49played by Matthew Lillard,
01:51the owner of Crestbrook Industries,
01:52tied to sex trafficking.
01:54Rebecca asks for 24 hours,
01:56but at what should have been their final meeting,
01:58a truck slams into Cross's car,
02:00and out steps Donnie,
02:02Rebecca's partner.
02:03It looks like Cross is done,
02:05until Bobby Trey races in,
02:07wounds Donnie,
02:08and forces him to flee.
02:09Craig never trusted Rebecca,
02:11and sent Bobby as backup.
02:13The episode ends with a huge reveal.
02:15Rebecca's next target is Senator Ashford,
02:17played by Josh Peck,
02:18whose mother helped keep Crestbrook out of legal trouble.
02:21Rebecca has a file as leverage,
02:23and is using it to blackmail Ashford
02:24into helping take down everyone connected to Crestbrook.
02:27Whether he agrees is still an open question.
02:29Three episodes remain before the final showdown
02:32between Cross and Rebecca,
