00:00:06Ten years away. This place has changed.
00:00:20Arthur?
00:00:21Hey, sis. I just got to Harbor City.
00:00:23What? I thought you weren't coming till tomorrow. Stay right there. I'm coming to get you.
00:00:28No need. You're the governor, and I'm an admiral. Better not give anyone a reason to question your integrity.
00:00:34I'm the governor to everyone else. To you, I'm always your sister.
00:00:38You've spent years being both my sister and my mom. You've done more than enough for me.
00:00:43Arthur, there's something I need to tell you. I'm seeing someone.
00:00:48You're seeing someone?
00:00:49His name's Gavin Mercer. He's the Harbor City Police Chief. If you don't like him, I'll reconsider things.
00:00:56Eleanor, you've put your own life on hold for me long enough. If he's a good man, and he truly
00:01:00loves you, I'm all for it.
00:01:04Then dinner tonight. We'll celebrate you being home, and I'll introduce you to you properly.
00:01:08Sounds good. See you tonight.
00:01:22Gavin, we still haven't caught Nolan. How am I supposed to make it to the welcome dinner?
00:01:26The governor's only brother is coming home tonight. You need to be there. Make sure Arthur likes you.
00:01:30I don't even know what he looks like, and I'm busy hunting a fugitive.
00:01:34Just grab anyone who fits the description. Announce that Nolan's in custody.
00:01:38What if he files a complaint? Or gets a lawyer?
00:01:42Hold him for a few days. After the dinner, call it a bad arrest and let him go.
00:01:46No one in this state crosses the Mersens. We own the streets and the system.
00:01:52The roadblock comes down in ten minutes. The real Nolan is yours. Get that ledger back.
00:01:59Understood, boss.
00:02:09Well, look at that. My scapegoat came right to me.
00:02:16Officer, what's going on up ahead?
00:02:18We got our fugitive. Kill the engine. Step out with your hands up.
00:02:23I said kill the engine and get out! You deaf!
00:02:26I'll cooperate, officer. But keep your weapon away from innocent civilians.
00:02:32Against the car. Hands behind your head.
00:02:37You could at least tell me what I'm being accused of.
00:02:39Nolan Reed. Murder, prison escape, assaulting an officer. How long are you going to keep pretending?
00:02:45I just came from the airport. My license, rental agreement and military discharge papers are all in the car.
00:02:53Run them. I'm not Nolan Reed.
00:03:01Run them? You questioning me?
00:03:04Officer, he looks nothing like the guy in that wanted photo. Are you sure you've got the right man?
00:03:09Back off! You trying to cover for a fugitive?
00:03:12Officer, this gentleman just helped me across the street back at the airport.
00:03:16How could he be some dangerous fugitive?
00:03:19Everybody shut up! Anyone else interferes, you're coming with me too.
00:03:23I'm calling State Police Internal Affairs. They can verify my identity themselves.
00:03:29You just destroyed private property and potential evidence!
00:03:33Evidence? It's a fugitive's phone for contacting his accomplices.
00:03:37That's excessive force! I'm reporting you!
00:03:40Give me that! You think you can just film a police operation?
00:03:45Body cam's off. Refusing to verify my ID. Seizing civilians' phones.
00:03:50Officer, do you understand what you're doing?
00:03:51I know exactly what I'm doing. I'm arresting a dangerous fugitive.
00:03:55No. You just need a scapegoat.
00:04:00Use your words. Keep your hands off me.
00:04:04Assaulted an officer?!
00:04:11Gavin, I got the fugitive. He resisted arrest and attacked me in front of everyone.
00:04:16Attacked my sister? Gavin Mercer's sister?
00:04:19Tell our men the police roadblock is coming down.
00:04:22Bring the real Nolan back alive.
00:04:24Yes, boss. Keep that man there. Anyone tries to testify for him, detain them, too.
00:04:30Got it.
00:04:31I'm on my way. I'll teach him what happens when you don't obey the police.
00:04:40Arthur would never just disappear like this. Something's wrong.
00:04:43Governor, Admiral Fleming may just be driving.
00:04:45Even if he is, he'd call me when he landed.
00:04:48Claire, pull the airport exit footage. Find out what car he rented.
00:04:52Yes, Governor.
00:04:56There are two routes from the airport. Take a team down the interstate.
00:04:59I'll check the coastal highway. Call me the second you find Arthur.
00:05:05Governor, are you sure you should go yourself?
00:05:07It could be dangerous.
00:05:08He's my only brother. Nothing matters more to me than finding him.
00:05:15Admit it, Nolan Reed. Admit you resisted arrest and assaulted an officer.
00:05:20And I'll make this easier on you.
00:05:22We all saw what happened.
00:05:24You pulled your gun, smashed his phone, then tried to hit him.
00:05:28Get all their names.
00:05:30Anyone who testifies gets investigated for interfering with an arrest.
00:05:33You wear a badge, but you use the law to threaten innocent people.
00:05:38Keep talking. Let's see how tough you are when my brother gets here.
00:05:48Gavin, that's him.
00:05:50He resisted arrest and attacked me right in front of everyone.
00:05:53You put your hands on my sister?
00:05:55You've got guts. Guess you've never heard the name Gavin Mercer.
00:05:59Gavin Mercer? You're Eleanor's boyfriend?
00:06:02Shut your mouth.
00:06:03You don't get to call the governor by her name.
00:06:06Let me go now, and I'll let this end here.
00:06:08Check my ID. It'll take one minute.
00:06:10No need. The chief has already confirmed it. You're the fugitive.
00:06:13You haven't even looked at his ID. How can you confirm anything?
00:06:20Anyone else want to speak up for the fugitive?
00:06:22Let him go. These people have nothing to do with this.
00:06:27Scared now?
00:06:27I don't want innocent people to get hurt.
00:06:30Impound the vehicle. Seize everything inside.
00:06:33Add resisting arrest, assaulting an officer, and anything else that fits.
00:06:37I didn't do anything.
00:06:38Here's Harbor City. I am the law.
00:06:42Around here, you're guilty when I say you're guilty.
00:06:52What happened? You had plenty to say a minute ago.
00:06:55I'm not talking to people who don't know the law.
00:06:58Good. Then let's speak a language you understand.
00:07:03Face the camera.
00:07:04Admit you're Nolan Reed, then get on your knees and apologize to my sister.
00:07:09You're using me to impersonate a fugitive and lie to the public?
00:07:11In state police, internal affairs, they can...
00:07:15You think you're smart, huh?
00:07:17Keep your mouth shut.
00:07:21Sounds like you're more afraid of Nolan getting caught than Nolan is.
00:07:24You have two choices.
00:07:26One, sign the statement, record a confession, and spend a few days in detention.
00:07:29Or refuse, lost your hand.
00:07:32Neither.
00:07:32Think you're tough?
00:07:34I wore that uniform for 20 years.
00:07:37I didn't do it to bow to men like you.
00:07:40A washed-up serviceman.
00:07:42What makes you think you can stand up to us?
00:07:45The law.
00:07:46And the people I served.
00:07:49You will answer for this.
00:07:52You can't treat a veteran like this!
00:07:54Confiscate every phone.
00:07:55Anyone refuses gets charged with interfering with police operations and obstruction.
00:08:00You can't do that.
00:08:01It's inconstitutional.
00:08:03I'm the law.
00:08:04Shh.
00:08:12He thinks he's so tough, right?
00:08:15Let's see how tough he is after I slam this door on him.
00:08:18You're really gonna kill me in front of all these witnesses?
00:08:22Who cares?
00:08:23You resisted arrest and died in the struggle.
00:08:25End of story.
00:08:26Last chance.
00:08:28Are you signing?
00:08:29Never.
00:08:30You've got this yourself.
00:08:32Stop!
00:08:46Chief Mercer, why are you treating a suspect like this?
00:08:48Claire, this is Nolan Reed.
00:08:50He's a fugitive.
00:08:51He resisted arrest, assaulted an officer, and claimed to be the governor's brother.
00:08:55You're Eleanor's aide?
00:08:57Call her.
00:08:58Now.
00:08:58How do you know the governor's name?
00:09:00Because she believes in doing what's right.
00:09:02She'd never stand by while a police chief abuses his power.
00:09:05Claire, don't listen to him.
00:09:07You really think the governor knows some washed-up nobody?
00:09:09The governor said her brother was one of the Navy's highest-ranking officers.
00:09:13What if...
00:09:13Him?
00:09:14What could he possibly have to do with an admiral?
00:09:17He wouldn't even be fit to shine his shoes.
00:09:19Clothes don't tell you who a man is.
00:09:21Check my ID.
00:09:22One minute.
00:09:23That's all it takes.
00:09:24His ID is fake!
00:09:25Who do you trust, a fugitive or my brother?
00:09:27Take him to the station.
00:09:29Verify everything there.
00:09:31Eleanor trusts you.
00:09:32I didn't think you'd stand by and let them do this.
00:09:35Drop the act.
00:09:36I'm not stupid enough to take a fugitive at his word.
00:09:39Gavin, after tonight's dinner, you and the governor are basically engaged, right?
00:09:43Once I marry Eleanor, you go after Arthur.
00:09:46Then the whole state belongs to the mercies.
00:09:48Please.
00:09:49The moment Arthur see me, he'll be hooked.
00:09:50Eleanor would never marry a man like you.
00:09:53And Arthur, he wouldn't give you a second look.
00:09:56Who the hell are you?
00:09:57You don't get to speak for Arthur!
00:09:59Because I am Arthur Fleming.
00:10:01Eleanor Fleming is my sister.
00:10:04What?
00:10:06Right, right.
00:10:07I'm the president.
00:10:09Arthur has an official welcome tonight.
00:10:12You really think he'd show up in a rental car and end up like this?
00:10:15I wanted to surprise my sister, so I didn't tell anyone I was coming early.
00:10:20Then why hasn't the governor been able to reach you?
00:10:23Because she smashed my phone and my ID.
00:10:26It was a fugitive's phone.
00:10:28He could have been calling his accomplices.
00:10:32Funny.
00:10:33Anything that proves who I am suddenly becomes evidence of a crime.
00:10:47My inhaler.
00:10:49It's in my jacket.
00:10:56You want it?
00:10:57Give it to me.
00:11:00Admit you're Nolan.
00:11:02Get on your knees and apologize.
00:11:04He can't breathe!
00:11:05You're killing him!
00:11:07It's just an accident.
00:11:09He resisted arrest.
00:11:12You murderers!
00:11:14Come crawl for it.
00:11:15What happened to all that pride?
00:11:27Easy.
00:11:28Breathe.
00:11:28Don't talk.
00:11:31Arrest him too!
00:11:32Charge him with interfering with an arrest!
00:11:36He saved my life.
00:11:38No one touches him.
00:11:45What's this?
00:11:46Another fake ID?
00:11:49Gavin!
00:11:50This girl!
00:11:51She looks exactly like the governor!
00:12:01Those eyes.
00:12:02They do look like the governor's.
00:12:05It's just an old photo.
00:12:07It proves nothing.
00:12:08Anyone can fake a family picture.
00:12:11That's the only photo our mother left us!
00:12:14Give it back!
00:12:17Want it back?
00:12:18Get on your knees.
00:12:20Sign the confession.
00:12:21You know you have the wrong man.
00:12:23And you're still doing this?
00:12:26I caught the fugitive.
00:12:28Sign the confession.
00:12:30You get the photo back.
00:12:32Refuse.
00:12:33And you'll never see it again.
00:12:40I kneel.
00:12:46I'll sign my own name.
00:12:50But I won't confess to something I didn't do.
00:12:59Now, give it back.
00:13:01No rush.
00:13:02I said I'd give it back.
00:13:05I never said it'd be in one piece.
00:13:07No!
00:13:13No!
00:13:16Beat him!
00:13:17Don't stop until he admits he's Nolan!
00:13:28Where's the ledger?
00:13:31I ain't have it.
00:13:33I got rid of it a long time ago.
00:13:42What's going on up there?
00:13:44Go!
00:13:45Faster!
00:13:53Get him up.
00:13:54He admits he's Nolan, or he doesn't leave here alive.
00:14:01Say it.
00:14:01Who are you?
00:14:04Arthur.
00:14:06Fleming.
00:14:07Then we'll beat that name out of you.
00:14:12The photo doesn't match.
00:14:14Neither do the plates, or his ID.
00:14:17You know you've got the wrong man.
00:14:18And you're still beating him to death.
00:14:21He can't even fight back.
00:14:23This isn't an arrest.
00:14:25You're killing him.
00:14:26Shut up!
00:14:27Anyone who defends him is his accomplice.
00:14:33Sign.
00:14:34I can make them stop.
00:14:35Keep beating me.
00:14:37I'm not confessing.
00:14:40Keep going.
00:14:50Chief Mercer, he's barely breathing.
00:14:57If he dies, write it up as a fugitive who resisted arrest and died in the struggle.
00:15:04Put him.
00:15:04Get him behind the cruiser.
00:15:06Anyone talks, investigate them for aiding a fugitive.
00:15:16Gavin, what are you doing here?
00:15:18Eleanor, we caught the fugitive.
00:15:20He resisted arrest.
00:15:21He almost killed me.
00:15:25It's dangerous here.
00:15:26You shouldn't have come yourself.
00:15:28Any word for Arthur?
00:15:29Not yet, Governor.
00:15:31I got here just as Chief Mercer was arresting a fugitive.
00:15:34Arthur still isn't answering.
00:15:36Something's happened to him.
00:15:38I should have gone to the airport myself.
00:15:41It was his first day home.
00:15:42Eleanor, Arthur's a Navy Admiral.
00:15:44Some nobody isn't going to hurt him.
00:15:48I don't care how tough he is.
00:15:50He's still my little brother.
00:15:51He's the only family I have left.
00:15:52Once we get to the dinner, I'll put every officer in the city on it.
00:15:55If I have to search the whole state, I'll find Arthur.
00:15:58Thank you, Gavin.
00:15:59My brother means more to me than anything.
00:16:00Of course.
00:16:01When I meet him, I'll make sure he's treated right.
00:16:03He is my future brother-in-law, after all.
00:16:05Yeah.
00:16:06And Eleanor, you have to introduce us.
00:16:08Who knows?
00:16:09Maybe he'll be into me.
00:16:11Eleanor.
00:16:17My officers are handling the suspect.
00:16:19Let's get out of here.
00:16:21Governor!
00:16:22That man behind the cruiser isn't a fugitive.
00:16:25He kept asking them to verify his ID.
00:16:28They destroyed it and tried to force a confession out of him.
00:16:32They've nearly beaten him to death.
00:16:34Arrest her for interfering.
00:16:35We all saw it.
00:16:36You can't call every witness an accomplice.
00:16:40Eleanor, stay back.
00:16:41That fugitive's out of control.
00:16:42Eleanor, don't trust him.
00:16:45That voice.
00:16:47Was that Arthur?
00:16:53Arthur?
00:17:02Eleanor, thank God you're here.
00:17:04That fugitive almost killed me.
00:17:07Were you hurt?
00:17:08Let me see.
00:17:10He wouldn't cooperate.
00:17:12Then he grabbed me and wouldn't let go.
00:17:15Good thing Gavin got here in time.
00:17:17The suspect's under control.
00:17:19It's still dangerous here.
00:17:21You shouldn't have come yourself.
00:17:23Your wrist is red.
00:17:24Get it checked out.
00:17:25I will.
00:17:25The suspect's restrained now.
00:17:27He won't hurt her again.
00:17:29I sent you down the interstate to find Arthur.
00:17:32Anything?
00:17:32Nothing yet.
00:17:33I only stopped because I saw the arrest.
00:17:36There are only two routes from the airport to the governor's residence.
00:17:39I already checked the coastal highway.
00:17:43He wasn't there.
00:17:45I'll call the rental company.
00:17:46I'll get the vehicle details and its last known location.
00:17:49Check towing records too.
00:17:51And every hospital along the route.
00:17:53Don't just search his name.
00:17:54I can put every precinct on it.
00:17:56If he's still in the state, we'll find him.
00:17:58I need facts, Gavin.
00:18:00Not promises.
00:18:02Arthur vanished after leaving the airport.
00:18:04He'd never leave me worrying like this.
00:18:06Arthur's a Navy admiral.
00:18:07Some random nobody isn't going to hurt him.
00:18:09I don't care how tough he is.
00:18:10He's still my brother.
00:18:11He's the only family I have.
00:18:13Governor!
00:18:14The police are beating a man back there!
00:18:16He can't even fight back!
00:18:18The suspect's associates are interfering with the arrest.
00:18:21Everybody back!
00:18:22We're telling you not to beat a man to death!
00:18:26The fugitive stirred them up.
00:18:28If you stay, it'll only make things worse.
00:18:31Go back to the airport.
00:18:33Find out exactly what car Arthur rented.
00:18:36On it.
00:18:37Once we find Arthur, you have to introduce us.
00:18:40Let's find my brother first.
00:18:44Eleanor.
00:18:53Put Nolan in the transport van.
00:18:56Take him to temporary holding.
00:18:57He can't even stand!
00:18:59Call an ambulance!
00:19:01Fugitives fake injuries all the time.
00:19:04Back off, or you're getting arrested too.
00:19:07He's covered in blood!
00:19:09How is that fake?
00:19:10You keep calling him Nolan, but you won't even check his ID.
00:19:15Now you're taking him somewhere with no cameras!
00:19:18The chief already confirmed his identity.
00:19:20We don't owe OU an explanation.
00:19:23The rental agreement is in the car.
00:19:25Check the name.
00:19:26You'll see you have the wrong man.
00:19:29Fake IDs and fake paperwork won't save you.
00:19:32You'll confess once we get you in holding.
00:19:34You haven't even looked at it!
00:19:36How do you know it's fake?
00:19:38Because he assaulted an officer
00:19:40and refused to cooperate with the ID check.
00:19:43You destroyed my ID.
00:19:46You're the ones refusing to verify it.
00:19:53Stop moving him!
00:19:55His ribs could be broken!
00:19:57Let go of the suspect!
00:19:59Otherwise you're aiding in escape!
00:20:04They're helping an injured man.
00:20:05They're not helping anyone escape.
00:20:08If you can still talk, you can still answer questions.
00:20:14Hey!
00:20:15Stay with me!
00:20:16Keep your eyes open!
00:20:18I already called an ambulance!
00:20:20You're not taking him anywhere in secret!
00:20:24Blood pressure's dropping.
00:20:26Breath sounds are abnormal.
00:20:27Could be internal bleeding.
00:20:28We need to move him now.
00:20:30How long has he been hurt?
00:20:31Did he lose consciousness at any point?
00:20:33They beat him for a long time.
00:20:36Then, when he couldn't breathe, they kept his medication from him.
00:20:40Don't take their word for it.
00:20:42The suspect was violently resisting arrest.
00:20:45His injuries will tell us what happened.
00:20:47Right now, everybody back up.
00:20:49He's a murder fugitive!
00:20:51Once he's treated, he goes back into police custody.
00:20:54Do you have formal detention paperwork?
00:20:56If you do, give it to the hospital.
00:20:58If not, step aside.
00:21:00The police chief gave the order himself.
00:21:02Isn't that enough?
00:21:03One more minute, and he could die right here.
00:21:06You want that on you?
00:21:07Take him to the hospital.
00:21:09We question him when he wakes up.
00:21:11Here.
00:21:12You fought so hard to protect this.
00:21:20Head laparation.
00:21:21Possible fracture in the left arm.
00:21:23Breath sounds are weak on the right.
00:21:25Get him stabilized now.
00:21:26This man is Nolan Reed.
00:21:27He's a fugitive.
00:21:28The cuffs stay on.
00:21:29Then show me the warrant, custody paperwork, and ID verification.
00:21:32The chief already confirmed his identity.
00:21:34We don't need to prove anything to you.
00:21:35Fine.
00:21:37Then I'm not letting those cuffs interfere with treatment.
00:21:39He assaulted an officer.
00:21:40He got hurt resisting arrest.
00:21:41These are repeated blunt force injuries.
00:21:44A single fall couldn't cause this.
00:21:45He has repeated impact injuries to his face, back, and ribs.
00:21:49A fall didn't do this.
00:21:51Doctor, your job is to treat him, not investigate the police.
00:21:55Exactly.
00:21:56So I'm documenting every injury, and I'm preserving every test result.
00:22:00Keep accusing us, and I'll list you as accomplices.
00:22:03This is an ER.
00:22:04You want custody?
00:22:05Bring me the paperwork.
00:22:07Doctor, his oxygen's still dropping.
00:22:11Get him into trauma now.
00:22:13Register him as an unidentified male.
00:22:15For now.
00:22:16Call the station the second he wakes up.
00:22:18Once he's stable, I'll follow the law.
00:22:21I don't take verbal orders.
00:22:24We don't know him.
00:22:25We just know he kept saying they had the wrong man.
00:22:28Please keep these safe.
00:22:30I'll seal them in a property bag.
00:22:31He can confirm them when he wakes up.
00:22:33If the police come back for him, make sure they have legal paperwork first.
00:22:36No one's taking him anywhere until he's out of danger.
00:22:40Nolan, give me the ledger.
00:22:42I'll make this hurt less.
00:22:45A police chief hunting evidence for a gang.
00:22:49That badge really pays off, huh?
00:22:52There's nothing in that ledger that can touch me.
00:22:55Don't bet your life on it.
00:22:56Then why'd you pull the road, Brock, and let the blood claw get to me first?
00:23:01All anyone saw was a failed escape.
00:23:03The police will announce your arrest soon enough.
00:23:07Frame some innocent guy as me.
00:23:09Then have blood claw beat the ledger out of me.
00:23:12That's your idea of law?
00:23:14Last chance.
00:23:15Where's the ledger?
00:23:16Too late.
00:23:18It's already with someone who can take your badge and your freedom.
00:23:24The vehicle left the airport at 1.17 p.m., then it headed on to the interstate.
00:23:29Which exit did it take?
00:23:30We don't have it.
00:23:32Public cameras in that area went offline during the police roadblock.
00:23:35What about the rental company's GPS?
00:23:37The last signal came from the roadblock area.
00:23:40After that, the tracker was shut off.
00:23:43Arthur wouldn't turn it off for no reason.
00:23:45Something happened there.
00:23:46That's the same interstate we were just on.
00:23:49Arthur could have been there.
00:23:50We checked every vehicle at the roadblock.
00:23:52There was no admiral there.
00:23:53His car went in.
00:23:54It never came out.
00:23:55Explain that.
00:23:56Nolan was driving a dark SUV, too.
00:23:58Similar vehicle.
00:23:59The staff could have mixed them up.
00:24:00You got there first.
00:24:02Did you see Arthur?
00:24:03No.
00:24:03Just the suspect, officers, and bystanders.
00:24:05Did anyone check the suspect's ID?
00:24:07Chief Mercer said he was Nolan.
00:24:09I wasn't involved in verifying his identity.
00:24:11Eleanor, the real Arthur wouldn't get taken down by a few regular cops.
00:24:15He has to be somewhere else.
00:24:17Being an admiral doesn't make my brother untouchable.
00:24:20Pull footage from every gas station, toll booth, and business along that route.
00:24:24I want every vehicle checked.
00:24:26I'll get the plate number and vehicle photos from the rental company.
00:24:28Then I'll send them out along the route.
00:24:30Check police in POWs, too.
00:24:31If the make and plate match, call me immediately.
00:24:33I'll have the department cooperate.
00:24:35Don't just search his name.
00:24:37Check hospitals, accident reports, and unidentified patients, too.
00:24:41Understood.
00:24:41I'll widen the search.
00:24:43Maybe Arthur's just planning an even bigger surprise.
00:24:46He wouldn't joke about the one thing he knows scares me most.
00:24:50The police say he's Nolan.
00:24:52Why aren't we registering him under that name?
00:24:55No ID.
00:24:56No arrest paperwork.
00:24:57Just someone's word.
00:24:58We can't confirm an identity based on that.
00:25:01The state is checking hospital records.
00:25:03Do we report him?
00:25:04Report him as unidentified.
00:25:06Don't attach a name.
00:25:07We can't verify.
00:25:08What if the police come back for him?
00:25:10Then they can bring proper paperwork.
00:25:12A patient doesn't become a fugitive just because someone says so.
00:25:17His blood pressure's dropping.
00:25:18Get blood ready.
00:25:21It's his first time home in 10 years.
00:25:23I didn't even come to the airport.
00:25:25Don't blame yourself.
00:25:27Arthur's an adult.
00:25:27Maybe his plans changed.
00:25:29Arthur doesn't just disappear.
00:25:31He said he'd be at dinner.
00:25:32He would have shown up.
00:25:33Eleanor, he's a Navy admiral.
00:25:35Maybe the military called him away.
00:25:36He's officially retired.
00:25:38And even if something came up, he'd tell me.
00:25:41No new accidents were reported near the airport.
00:25:42And no injured patient is listed under his name.
00:25:45No name doesn't mean no patient.
00:25:47Keep checking identified at admissions.
00:25:49Three unidentified patients were admitted nearby.
00:25:52Two are the wrong age.
00:25:53One is still in surgery.
00:25:55Find out where the third patient was found.
00:25:57And when he was admitted.
00:25:59The hospital only listed the interstate.
00:26:01No identity yet.
00:26:02Call the hospital.
00:26:03We check every possibility.
00:26:07Boss, Nolan still won't talk.
00:26:09And the ledger isn't at the warehouse.
00:26:12Search his place.
00:26:13His storage units.
00:26:14Everyone he's been in contact with.
00:26:15He says he already handed it off.
00:26:19Then beat the name out of him.
00:26:22The department got a new lead.
00:26:24I need to handle it.
00:26:26Is it about Arthur?
00:26:27Not sure yet.
00:26:28The second I know, I'll tell you.
00:26:30I'll go with you.
00:26:30Claire can stay with Eleanor.
00:26:37Don't move.
00:26:38You just got out of surgery.
00:26:40You have fractured ribs and a fracture in your left arm.
00:26:44Where am I?
00:26:45Harbor City Hospital.
00:26:46Some bystanders got you here.
00:26:48How long was I out?
00:26:50A few hours.
00:26:51You just got out of surgery.
00:26:53Don't try to get up.
00:26:54Did the police leave any custody paperwork?
00:26:57No.
00:26:58They only claimed you were Nolan.
00:27:00We didn't put that name in your chart.
00:27:02What about the people who stood up for me?
00:27:05Did the police arrest them?
00:27:06No.
00:27:07They weren't taken in.
00:27:08You, on the other hand,
00:27:10almost died out there.
00:27:14This was the only photo my mother left us.
00:27:17The bystanders picked it up for you.
00:27:21Is there family we can call?
00:27:23Yes.
00:27:24Doctor, I need a phone.
00:27:28A phone.
00:27:30I need to call my sister.
00:27:33Just a few words.
00:27:35You can't handle any more stress right now.
00:27:37My sister's still waiting for me.
00:27:39She needs to know I'm alive.
00:27:46Hello, this is Eleanor.
00:27:51Hello?
00:27:53Say something.
00:27:54Who is this?
00:27:56Ma'am, an injured patient just called you from my phone.
00:27:59What's his name?
00:28:01How does he know my private number?
00:28:02We still haven't confirmed his identity.
00:28:05He just lost consciousness again.
00:28:07How old is he?
00:28:08What was he wearing?
00:28:09Around 40.
00:28:10He came in wearing a dark jacket.
00:28:12It was soaked in blood.
00:28:13Did he say who he was trying to reach?
00:28:16He just kept asking for a phone.
00:28:18He passed out before he could say anything.
00:28:21Where was he found?
00:28:22On the interstate.
00:28:24He was badly hurt.
00:28:25He also had marks from handcuffs.
00:28:28Arthur's car was last seen on that interstate, too.
00:28:31This may be our only lead.
00:28:33I'll call Chief Mercer.
00:28:35He can send officers to secure the hospital.
00:28:37No.
00:28:38We don't even know who this patient is yet.
00:28:41Don't let the police interfere with his treatment.
00:28:44But if he's connected to someone's disappearance,
00:28:47the hospital could be at risk.
00:28:50Facts first.
00:28:52We don't treat a patient like a suspect without evidence.
00:28:56Understood.
00:28:57I'll arrange your security detail.
00:28:58No police.
00:28:59I'll go with you.
00:29:00Let's go.
00:29:01Now.
00:29:04The woman you called is on her way.
00:29:07Should we notify the police?
00:29:09No.
00:29:10The people who put me here were wearing badges.
00:29:14You know who did this to you?
00:29:15I do.
00:29:17They said I was someone else.
00:29:19Your phone and ID are destroyed.
00:29:22Do you want me to call the police?
00:29:23Not yet.
00:29:25Preserve my clothes, the photo,
00:29:28and every medical record.
00:29:29We'll secure your belongings and we'll keep complete record of your injuries.
00:29:37I'll explain everything when my sister gets here.
00:29:42Where's the patient who just called me?
00:29:44He's in that room.
00:29:45But he still hasn't regained consciousness.
00:29:52He's stable for now.
00:29:54Before you go in, I need to know how you're related to him.
00:29:56I don't know who he is.
00:29:58He called my private number from the hospital.
00:30:00He was brought in from the interstate.
00:30:01No valid ID.
00:30:02We still haven't confirmed who he is.
00:30:04When was he brought in?
00:30:05Not long after you left the roadblock.
00:30:07Then he may have been there when I was.
00:30:09How bad is it?
00:30:10Severe head trauma.
00:30:11Fractured ribs and left arm.
00:30:13Bruising all over.
00:30:14He also nearly suffocated before he got here.
00:30:16We almost lost him.
00:30:18The police said the suspect was safely restrained.
00:30:21Who did this to him?
00:30:23Witnesses say several officers beat him.
00:30:25I can confirm the injuries.
00:30:26I can't tell you who's legally responsible.
00:30:30Did you see this man at the scene?
00:30:32I saw a man being arrested.
00:30:33I didn't see him taken to the hospital.
00:30:35Did his age and clothes match this patient?
00:30:36The clothes sound similar, but his face was covered in blood.
00:30:39I can't confirm it from a description.
00:30:41And he said he was Arthur Fleming.
00:30:44I thought he was lying.
00:30:45Why didn't you tell me?
00:30:47His identity wasn't verified.
00:30:48I didn't want to present it as fact.
00:30:50Then why didn't you tell me someone there was this badly hurt?
00:30:53Chief Mercer said he was a dangerous fugitive.
00:30:55I trust his judgment.
00:30:56These are his belongings.
00:30:58Maybe something here will tell you if you know him.
00:31:01What about his ID?
00:31:03Witnesses said it was destroyed at the scene.
00:31:05This is everything we received.
00:31:12This photo.
00:31:14How does he have this?
00:31:15Governor, you recognize it?
00:31:17It's our family photo.
00:31:18My mother left it to us.
00:31:19There's only one copy.
00:31:21That's my mother.
00:31:22That's me.
00:31:23And that's the little brother I raised.
00:31:25Then the man in that room.
00:31:27I need to see it myself.
00:31:37Arthur.
00:31:39Sis.
00:31:42How could it be you?
00:31:45How could they do this to you?
00:31:49Don't cry.
00:31:51I'm okay.
00:31:53Governor, he has fractured ribs and a fractured left arm.
00:31:56He took multiple blows to the head.
00:31:58He came in with internal bleeding and severe oxygen defriation.
00:32:02We've secured the injury report.
00:32:04His injuries are consistent with a prolonged beating by multiple people.
00:32:09You were there.
00:32:10You heard him say he was Arthur.
00:32:12Why didn't you tell me?
00:32:14Chief Mercer said he was a fugitive using Arthur's name.
00:32:17I thought he was trying to get out of an arrest.
00:32:19I was wrong.
00:32:20You trusted a man you've known for six months?
00:32:23You didn't even check the man claiming to be my brother?
00:32:27Eleanor.
00:32:29Claire was fooled too.
00:32:30Blaming her won't help us now.
00:32:32I'm calling Gavin right now.
00:32:34I want him to explain this to my face.
00:32:37No.
00:32:37Why not?
00:32:38I asked Vanessa to check my ID.
00:32:40She refused.
00:32:42Gavin showed up and called me Nolan without even looking at it.
00:32:45This wasn't a mistake.
00:32:46They needed a scapegoat.
00:32:48Someone they could parade as Nolan.
00:32:50While the real Nolan stayed off.
00:32:52The radar.
00:32:54You're saying Gavin framed you as Nolan on purpose?
00:32:57They thought I was nobody.
00:32:58Someone who couldn't fight back.
00:33:00They could call it a bad arrest later and move on.
00:33:02If we tip Gavin off now, Nolan disappears.
00:33:05So does the evidence.
00:33:07What do you want to do?
00:33:08Open a confidential state investigation.
00:33:10Keep the police department out of it.
00:33:12Gavin can't know.
00:33:13I need time to recover everything they tried to bury.
00:33:16Fine.
00:33:17We keep this quiet for now.
00:33:19But you're done taking risks alone.
00:33:20I'm handling your security myself.
00:33:22Okay.
00:33:23I promise.
00:33:30Chief, the hospital moved Nolan to a restricted unit.
00:33:33We can't find out where.
00:33:35A restricted unit.
00:33:37Who ordered that?
00:33:38The order came straight from the state.
00:33:39No reason given.
00:33:40Nolan is a fugitive.
00:33:41Why is the state getting involved?
00:33:43What did the hospital do it say?
00:33:44He said it involves a sensitive identity.
00:33:47That's all he'd tell us.
00:33:48He can barely stay alive and the state is protecting him?
00:33:51Maybe our scapegoat isn't such a nobody after all.
00:33:54Tell Blood Claw to find him before the Veterans Charity Gala.
00:33:58I don't care if he's alive or dead.
00:34:00Just find him.
00:34:01Got it, boss.
00:34:04Whoever you are, you're not getting in my way.
00:34:13Looks just the same.
00:34:15I kept your room exactly the way it was.
00:34:18Mom's photo is still there, too.
00:34:20Eleanor, you've done so much all these years.
00:34:23You're home.
00:34:24That's all I need.
00:34:33I found the best restorer I could.
00:34:35The cracks are still there, but Mom looks exactly the same.
00:34:39Vanessa tore it up right in front of me.
00:34:41I thought she'd taken the last thing Mom left me.
00:34:45Now it's back.
00:34:46And so are you.
00:34:49I asked Gavin what he'd recommend for something secure but low-profile.
00:34:53What'd he say?
00:34:54Limited edition armored sedan.
00:34:56Black, unmarked, reinforced chassis, ballistic glass, run-flat tires.
00:35:001.5 million.
00:35:01He knew all that off the top of his head?
00:35:04He thinks it's for him.
00:35:05His exact words were,
00:35:07Get this one.
00:35:08It suits my position.
00:35:10And you went with it?
00:35:12It's being assigned to you under the state's witness protection process.
00:35:15Completely by the book.
00:35:17He won't find a thing wrong with it.
00:35:18He'll notice when the car never shows up for him.
00:35:22By then, it'll be too late.
00:35:24Gavin, what's got you so happy?
00:35:26Eleanor approved a new armored car.
00:35:28Top of the line.
00:35:29Limited edition.
00:35:30The exact model I recommended.
00:35:31So she already sees you as family?
00:35:33She's planning for after the wedding.
00:35:35Once I meet the real Arthur at the gala and he accepts me,
00:35:38the whole state government is ours.
00:35:39And Arthur, you're sure he still hasn't seen Eleanor?
00:35:42Eleanor still hasn't told me she's found Arthur.
00:35:45So he may be coming back another way.
00:35:47The gala is my real chance to make an impression.
00:35:50You need to be ready too.
00:35:51Make Arthur fall for you.
00:35:53Relax.
00:35:53Once we're part of the Fleming family,
00:35:55the police and the state government both belong to the Mercers.
00:35:59Exactly.
00:36:03This is Helen Foster, my head of security.
00:36:05She's been at my side for seven years.
00:36:09Admiral Fleming, the governor has briefed me.
00:36:11You understand my situation?
00:36:13I do.
00:36:14Until the covert investigation closes, you remain an unidentified victim.
00:36:17No one outside the medical staff, the governor, Claire, and myself
00:36:20will ever know who you really are.
00:36:23With you here, my sister can stop worrying.
00:36:26State investigators have issued an evidence preservation order.
00:36:28Hospital records, the EMS report, the 911 call,
00:36:31the rental car's GPS, the tow logs,
00:36:34and the exact times every body cam was switched on or off.
00:36:36All of it sealed.
00:36:37You pulled the body cam logs?
00:36:39The logs are clear.
00:36:41Every officer at the roadblock switched off his body cam
00:36:44to demoment you were pinned against the car door.
00:36:46All of them at once?
00:36:49This was planned.
00:36:50And there's more.
00:36:51We found a backup video a bystander uploaded to the cloud.
00:36:54His phone caught part of what happened.
00:37:01The chief has already confirmed it.
00:37:03You're the fugitive.
00:37:04They never checked my ID.
00:37:06Never looked at the rental agreement.
00:37:08They showed up and decided I was Nolan.
00:37:11That's not negligence.
00:37:12This last part matters most.
00:37:14Listen.
00:37:16Suspect in custody, mass perimeter, can a camp here 20 come down?
00:37:20When was that said?
00:37:21The witness video has a timestamp.
00:37:23That call came seven minutes after they declared you Nolan.
00:37:27They didn't arrest the wrong man.
00:37:29They needed someone to be Nolan.
00:37:32Once they announced Nolan was in custody,
00:37:34they had an excuse to drop the roadblock.
00:37:37You think Gavin used you as Nolan?
00:37:39So the real one could slip lick?
00:37:41After the roadblock came down,
00:37:43did any vehicles get through without being tracked?
00:37:45Yes.
00:37:46Three dark SUVs left the interstate within ten minutes.
00:37:49Two were stopped and cleared.
00:37:50The third vanished without a trace.
00:37:53That's where the real Nolan was.
00:37:56It's you.
00:37:57Are you okay now?
00:37:58I'm alive because of you.
00:38:00I wanted to thank you in person
00:38:01and ask for your help.
00:38:04They almost killed you that day.
00:38:06Just ask.
00:38:07We remember everything.
00:38:09Everything you say will be recorded
00:38:11for a confidential state investigation.
00:38:13Your identities will be protected.
00:38:15The police won't be told.
00:38:18At my age,
00:38:19I'm not afraid of anyone.
00:38:21Did you record anything else?
00:38:24A few clips.
00:38:26There's one you may not have.
00:38:28Gavin threatened everyone filming.
00:38:30Said anyone who testified
00:38:31would be investigated
00:38:32for interfering with the arrest.
00:38:34I handed over an old phone
00:38:35and kept this one hidden.
00:38:38Confiscate every phone.
00:38:40Anyone refuses gets charged
00:38:41with interfering with police operations
00:38:43and obstruction.
00:38:43This proves he was deliberately
00:38:45silencing witnesses.
00:38:46One more thing.
00:38:48After the roadblock came down,
00:38:50a dark SUV sped right past us.
00:38:52Nobody stopped it.
00:38:53Anything distinctive about the vehicle?
00:38:55There was too much dust
00:38:56to see the plate,
00:38:57but there was a torn canvas bag
00:38:59strapped to the roof rack.
00:39:01A blue folder was sticking out.
00:39:02That's the vehicle Nolan used
00:39:04to hide the ledger.
00:39:05Will any of this help?
00:39:07It will.
00:39:09You kept the truth from disappearing.
00:39:14State investigators
00:39:15finished the case timeline.
00:39:17You were entered into the system
00:39:18as Nolan Reed in custody
00:39:1915 minutes after they detainted you.
00:39:21Your fingerprints, ID, and vehicle
00:39:23hadn't been verified yet.
00:39:26Who entered it?
00:39:27Gavin's chief level account.
00:39:29The system only shows
00:39:30the terminal number,
00:39:31not the operator's name.
00:39:32But the order came from his account.
00:39:34No one else's.
00:39:37He never planned to verify
00:39:38who I was.
00:39:39He just needed someone
00:39:40to call Nolan Reed.
00:39:42It didn't matter who.
00:39:43The real Nolan
00:39:44was never officially booked anywhere.
00:39:46The media only had
00:39:47Gavin's announcement.
00:39:49That's why the public
00:39:49thought Nolan was caught,
00:39:51while Gavin kept hunting
00:39:52for the ledger in secret.
00:39:56He used a scapegoat
00:39:57to fake Nolan's arrest.
00:39:58Meanwhile, he kept pressuring
00:40:00the real Nolan for the ledger.
00:40:01Two operations running at once.
00:40:03So what do we do now?
00:40:04Pull every dispatch record
00:40:06from after the roadblock came down.
00:40:08I want to know exactly
00:40:08who got through
00:40:09in those 10 minutes.
00:40:10Understood.
00:40:11I'll get them through
00:40:12the state transportation department.
00:40:13I'm what a nothing
00:40:14goes through the police.
00:40:19State transportation
00:40:19gave us the raw dispatch logs
00:40:21from after the roadblock
00:40:22came down.
00:40:23State investigators
00:40:24found something important.
00:40:25Get to the point.
00:40:26Within seven minutes
00:40:27of them announcing
00:40:28Nolan was in custody,
00:40:29police got two separate sightings
00:40:31of the real Nolan.
00:40:33The first came from
00:40:34a toll worker
00:40:35at the interstate exit.
00:40:36A dark SUV sped through
00:40:38with a torn canvas bag
00:40:39on the roof.
00:40:40The second came from
00:40:42a gas station
00:40:42a mile away.
00:40:43Their camera caught
00:40:44the same SUV
00:40:45from the side.
00:40:46What did the police
00:40:47do with those reports?
00:40:49Nothing.
00:40:49Both were marked
00:40:50Target already in custody.
00:40:52No pursuit needed.
00:40:53The order came
00:40:54from Gavin's account.
00:40:55Again.
00:40:56He knew the real Nolan
00:40:57was still out there.
00:40:58He used you as a stand-in
00:41:00and let a fugitive walk.
00:41:02We know Gavin used me
00:41:03to cover for the real Nolan.
00:41:05But we still don't know why.
00:41:07Why clear a path for Nolan
00:41:09then go after him in secret?
00:41:11Why keep everyone else
00:41:12out of it?
00:41:13You're right.
00:41:14This goes way beyond
00:41:15police brutality.
00:41:16Can we expand the investigation
00:41:17to Gavin's connection
00:41:18to Nolan?
00:41:19The governor already approved it.
00:41:21State investigators
00:41:22can now trace
00:41:22Gavin's finances,
00:41:24communications,
00:41:24and movements
00:41:25involving Nolan
00:41:26or anyone tied
00:41:27to organized crime.
00:41:28Follow it all the way.
00:41:30Nolan's still alive?
00:41:32Yeah.
00:41:33Still won't tell us
00:41:33where the ledger is.
00:41:35Boss, should we?
00:41:36Not yet.
00:41:38He's more useful alive.
00:41:40Keep him breathing.
00:41:41Just don't make him comfortable.
00:41:43And the interstate footage?
00:41:44The police server backups?
00:41:46Are they wiped?
00:41:48We're deleting them now.
00:41:49We're using your terminal
00:41:50so no outside account shows up.
00:41:52The road footage
00:41:53has already been overwritten.
00:41:54No originals left.
00:41:56Good.
00:41:56No evidence.
00:41:57No case.
00:41:58That scapegoat
00:41:59can sue all he wants.
00:42:00He'll have nothing.
00:42:01Boss,
00:42:03what if that guy
00:42:04really isn't some nobody?
00:42:05Then we make sure
00:42:06he disappears for good.
00:42:09Emergency alert
00:42:10from state investigators.
00:42:12Someone's using
00:42:12high-level police access
00:42:13to purge the roadblock files.
00:42:15Traffic footage,
00:42:16dispatch logs,
00:42:17server backups.
00:42:18They're deleting everything.
00:42:19What?
00:42:21Who's doing it?
00:42:22The system only shows
00:42:23the terminal
00:42:23in the chief's office.
00:42:24We can't confirm
00:42:26who's actually using it.
00:42:27They're moving fast.
00:42:28Within an hour,
00:42:29every original backup
00:42:30could be gone.
00:42:32Save whatever's left.
00:42:34I'll have state investigators
00:42:36block the deletion
00:42:37and force copy
00:42:38everything left
00:42:38to the state servers.
00:42:40He's destroying evidence.
00:42:41Which means
00:42:42we're on the right track.
00:42:43The harder he tries
00:42:44to bury this,
00:42:46the closer we are
00:42:47to the truth.
00:42:50State investigators
00:42:51stopped the purge,
00:42:52but about 30%
00:42:53is gone for good.
00:42:54Everything else
00:42:55is being moved
00:42:55to an encrypted
00:42:56state server now.
00:42:59He thinks deleting it
00:43:00makes the problem
00:43:01go away.
00:43:02What he doesn't know
00:43:03is we already saved
00:43:05the part that matters most.
00:43:08The witness videos
00:43:09are on here.
00:43:10So is the timeline
00:43:11state investigators
00:43:12backed up earlier.
00:43:14You were waiting
00:43:14for him to make a move?
00:43:16Let him think he won.
00:43:19It'll get harder
00:43:20when he finds out
00:43:20he didn't.
00:43:25Governor,
00:43:26I found something
00:43:27in the police charitable fund.
00:43:29Which payment?
00:43:31Three months ago,
00:43:32$250,000
00:43:33meant for families
00:43:34of fallen officers
00:43:35was wired
00:43:36to a shell company
00:43:37called Green Shield
00:43:38Security Services.
00:43:40A shell company?
00:43:42Where did the money
00:43:43end up?
00:43:46Three days later,
00:43:47the same amount
00:43:48went to a luxury
00:43:49jeweler downtown.
00:43:50The purchase
00:43:51was for a custom
00:43:52diamond necklace.
00:43:56I've seen this necklace.
00:44:00Where?
00:44:02Vanessa was wearing it
00:44:03at the roadblock.
00:44:04I noticed it
00:44:05when the light hit it.
00:44:05Gavin used benefit money
00:44:07to buy his sister
00:44:08a necklace?
00:44:09Vanessa posted a selfie
00:44:11three days after the roadblock.
00:44:12Same necklace.
00:44:13Caption says,
00:44:15a surprise from my brother.
00:44:17He stole from families
00:44:18of fallen officers
00:44:19to buy his sister jewelry.
00:44:21I'm freezing every account
00:44:23tied to the fund.
00:44:24Right now.
00:44:25Don't!
00:44:26Why not?
00:44:28Gavin already pledged
00:44:29a million dollars
00:44:30from the fund
00:44:31at the charity gala.
00:44:32Freeze it now
00:44:33and he'll know
00:44:34the second
00:44:35that donation fails.
00:44:36But that money
00:44:37belongs to the families.
00:44:39I know.
00:44:40But if we move now,
00:44:41he'll erase the trail
00:44:42and start over
00:44:43under new accounts.
00:44:44We get one shot at this.
00:44:46You want to let him
00:44:47make the donation?
00:44:48Let him do it in public
00:44:49under the fund's name.
00:44:50Let the necklace
00:44:51go through the auction.
00:44:52Every donation record,
00:44:53receipt,
00:44:54and auction confirmation
00:44:55locks the trail in place.
00:44:56The donation
00:44:57is stolen money.
00:44:58The necklace
00:44:58is stolen property.
00:45:00Once he puts both
00:45:01on the record in public,
00:45:02he can't talk
00:45:02his way out of it.
00:45:03Let her put the stolen
00:45:04necklace on that
00:45:05auction block herself.
00:45:06She wore it proudly.
00:45:08She can answer for it
00:45:09just as publicly.
00:45:10Fine.
00:45:10We leave the accounts
00:45:11alone for now.
00:45:12But every piece of evidence
00:45:13gets secured
00:45:14before the gala.
00:45:15Understood.
00:45:15I'll have state investigators
00:45:16monitor the donation
00:45:17and auction in real time.
00:45:20Gavin,
00:45:21do I really have to
00:45:23donate that necklace?
00:45:24Of course.
00:45:26Wear it on stage.
00:45:27Say it's for the families
00:45:28of fallen officers.
00:45:29The cameras get
00:45:30your good side.
00:45:31The public remembers
00:45:32how generous
00:45:33the Mercers are.
00:45:37But it's my favorite.
00:45:40Once Eleanor agrees
00:45:41to marry me,
00:45:42you can have any
00:45:42jewelry you want.
00:45:44Why care about
00:45:45one necklace?
00:45:46So you're sure
00:45:47Arthur will be
00:45:48at the gala?
00:45:49Eleanor put
00:45:50Navy Guest of Honor
00:45:51attending as scheduled
00:45:52on the program.
00:45:53She still hasn't told me
00:45:53she's found Arthur.
00:45:54So he's showing up
00:45:55another way.
00:45:56All I have to do
00:45:57is look good
00:45:58and make the donation
00:45:59in public.
00:46:00Her admiral brother
00:46:01will see I'm the right
00:46:01man for her.
00:46:03Then make sure
00:46:03I get my chance
00:46:04with Arthur.
00:46:05Once I marry him,
00:46:07the Mercers will own
00:46:08both the state government
00:46:09and the police.
00:46:10Exactly.
00:46:12The bigger the show
00:46:13we make of that necklace,
00:46:15the bigger our win.
00:46:20I want to cancel
00:46:21the gala.
00:46:22Why?
00:46:24You're still recovering.
00:46:26Your arm's still
00:46:27in a brace.
00:46:28If Gavin and Vanessa
00:46:30realize who you are,
00:46:32they could come after you
00:46:34right there.
00:46:34Eleanor,
00:46:35if I disappear now,
00:46:37they'll know
00:46:38someone's onto them.
00:46:39Gavin will destroy
00:46:40the evidence.
00:46:41Nolan will be moved
00:46:43or killed.
00:46:44Everything we've done
00:46:45these past three weeks
00:46:46will be for nothing.
00:46:49I can't watch you
00:46:51get hurt again.
00:46:53I was caught off guard
00:46:54that day.
00:46:55Not anymore.
00:46:57I have you, Helen,
00:46:58and the state
00:46:59behind me now.
00:47:01I'm not letting them
00:47:02put me on the ground again.
00:47:04Fine.
00:47:06Gavin and Vanessa
00:47:07stay on the guest list.
00:47:09But your photo
00:47:10stays off the program.
00:47:12And Gavin
00:47:13doesn't find out
00:47:14I've found you.
00:47:15Just announce
00:47:15the Navy guest of honor
00:47:16will attend as scheduled.
00:47:17Let them guess.
00:47:19Once I donate
00:47:20that million at the gala,
00:47:22Eleanor will know
00:47:23I'm the man
00:47:23she deserves.
00:47:26Gavin,
00:47:28you really think
00:47:29Arthur will go for me?
00:47:30He's been gone
00:47:30ten years.
00:47:31He doesn't know anyone
00:47:32in Harbor City anymore.
00:47:33Be sweet.
00:47:34Be charming.
00:47:36Once he knows
00:47:36your brother's
00:47:37the police chief,
00:47:37he'll be interested.
00:47:39Then once I'm
00:47:39Arthur's wife,
00:47:40the whole Fleming family
00:47:42is ours.
00:47:42You marry Arthur,
00:47:44I marry Eleanor.
00:47:45We control the police
00:47:46and the state.
00:47:48No one in this city
00:47:49will dare cross us.
00:47:55Don't tip them off.
00:47:56Let them make
00:47:57the donation first.
00:47:59The bigger the show,
00:48:00the harder the fall.
00:48:05Gavin,
00:48:06what's so funny?
00:48:07I just got word.
00:48:08The guest of honor
00:48:09is confirmed
00:48:10for the gala.
00:48:11Eleanor still hasn't
00:48:12told me anything
00:48:13about Arthur.
00:48:14That means she's
00:48:15saving the surprise
00:48:16for tonight.
00:48:17Then I'm wearing
00:48:17my best dress.
00:48:19Remember,
00:48:20act sweet
00:48:20when you meet Arthur.
00:48:22Don't come on
00:48:22too strong.
00:48:23I know.
00:48:24Men love the sweet,
00:48:26innocent type.
00:48:28After this gala,
00:48:30everything belongs
00:48:31to the Mercers.
00:48:34Five minutes out.
00:48:35The gala starts at eight.
00:48:36We've got time.
00:48:37Are Gavin and Vanessa
00:48:38there yet?
00:48:39They left the station
00:48:40ten minutes ago.
00:48:41We should arrive
00:48:42around the same time.
00:48:45This spot has
00:48:46the best camera coverage.
00:48:48The elevator goes
00:48:49straight backstage.
00:48:50You can avoid
00:48:51the crowd out front.
00:48:54You thought of everything.
00:48:55I'll set up the video
00:48:56in the control room.
00:48:58Stay in the car for now.
00:48:59I'll come get you
00:48:59once it's clear.
00:49:01Okay.
00:49:03Sir, the garage is full.
00:49:04You'll need to park upstairs.
00:49:06What about that spot
00:49:07right there?
00:49:10Ma'am,
00:49:11there's already a car in it.
00:49:12It's parked way over
00:49:14to one side.
00:49:14There's room for two cars.
00:49:16Make them move.
00:49:19Hey,
00:49:20get out here
00:49:21and move your car.
00:49:24She really wore it.
00:49:27You?
00:49:28Why the hell
00:49:29are you here?
00:49:33Weren't you in the hospital?
00:49:35How the hell
00:49:36did you get out?
00:49:37I didn't escape.
00:49:38I got treated.
00:49:40Then I was discharged.
00:49:42Discharged?
00:49:43You're some fraud
00:49:44pretending to be an admiral.
00:49:46And you think you belong
00:49:47at a gala like this?
00:49:49I don't care
00:49:50how you got in here.
00:49:51I already let you
00:49:52walk away alive once.
00:49:54Don't push your luck.
00:49:56You beat me
00:49:57half to death.
00:49:58You destroyed my ID.
00:50:00You refused to verify
00:50:01who I was.
00:50:02Then you tried to force me
00:50:03to pose as a fugitive.
00:50:05That's your idea of mercy?
00:50:07Spare me the victim act.
00:50:08You followed us here,
00:50:10didn't you?
00:50:10What are you after?
00:50:12Dirt on my brother?
00:50:14Blackmail?
00:50:15I was invited.
00:50:17I'm not here
00:50:17because of you.
00:50:19Dressed like that?
00:50:20Do you even know
00:50:21who's upstairs?
00:50:22The governor?
00:50:23Lawmakers?
00:50:24Millionaires?
00:50:25What are you,
00:50:26maintenance?
00:50:26Did you sneak in
00:50:27to steal something?
00:50:29You have video
00:50:30from the roadblock,
00:50:31don't you?
00:50:31Hand it over.
00:50:33Every copy.
00:50:34Give my sister
00:50:35the parking spot too
00:50:37and I'll forget
00:50:38I saw you tonight.
00:50:40It's a public spot.
00:50:41I got here first.
00:50:43As for the video,
00:50:44I have no idea
00:50:45what you're talking about.
00:50:47Don't play games with me.
00:50:52You just assaulted
00:50:53an officer?
00:50:54When did I touch him?
00:50:56He came at me.
00:50:58I moved.
00:50:59Fine.
00:50:59You don't want
00:51:00to settle this quietly?
00:51:02We'll do it officially.
00:51:07Bring a team downstairs.
00:51:09Parking garage.
00:51:11I've got a dangerous
00:51:12fugitive down here.
00:51:13Still feeling tough?
00:51:15Save it for the
00:51:16head of security.
00:51:17The gala hasn't
00:51:18even started.
00:51:19I can't let this
00:51:20blow up here.
00:51:24Chief Mercer,
00:51:26what's going on?
00:51:27This man
00:51:28snuck into the gala
00:51:30pretending to be
00:51:31a Navy Admiral.
00:51:32Then he caused
00:51:33trouble down here
00:51:34and assaulted me.
00:51:35He shoved my brother.
00:51:37We both saw it.
00:51:39Chief,
00:51:40I saw what happened.
00:51:41Your car was backing in.
00:51:43His was already parked.
00:51:45You honked
00:51:45and told him to move.
00:51:47He didn't.
00:51:48What the hell
00:51:48are you talking about?
00:51:50You saw us start it?
00:51:52Really?
00:51:53Does this hotel
00:51:54want to stay in business
00:51:55or not?
00:51:56What's your name?
00:51:59Andrew.
00:52:00I've worked here
00:52:01two years.
00:52:02Your employee
00:52:03just lied to my face.
00:52:04What are you
00:52:05going to do about it?
00:52:07Shut up!
00:52:08Who told you to speak?
00:52:09Get on your knees
00:52:10and apologize
00:52:11to the chief!
00:52:12I didn't do
00:52:13anything wrong.
00:52:14Why should I kneel?
00:52:18That's enough.
00:52:20He did nothing wrong.
00:52:21He doesn't owe anyone
00:52:23a kneeling apology.
00:52:23Who the hell
00:52:24are you to stop me?
00:52:25He's the only one
00:52:26telling the truth.
00:52:28You're his boss.
00:52:29Instead of checking
00:52:30what happened,
00:52:31you're forcing him
00:52:33to kneel
00:52:33to the people
00:52:34who started this.
00:52:35So who really
00:52:36owes an apology?
00:52:37You can't even
00:52:38save yourself
00:52:39and you're defending him?
00:52:41Fine.
00:52:42I'll leave
00:52:43your little friend alone.
00:52:4520 grand.
00:52:47Half for your junker.
00:52:48Half for the hospital bill
00:52:50you're about to have.
00:52:53See?
00:52:53My brother's being generous.
00:52:55Take the money
00:52:56and get lost.
00:52:58My car doesn't need
00:52:59your money.
00:53:00But if you damage it,
00:53:01you too won't be able
00:53:02to afford the bill.
00:53:04It's a beat-up
00:53:04custom job.
00:53:06Get over yourself.
00:53:07Security?
00:53:08Smash it.
00:53:09Let's see how tough
00:53:10he talks then.
00:53:12Ma'am,
00:53:13this car...
00:53:14My brother's
00:53:15the police chief.
00:53:16Smash it.
00:53:17I'll take the blame.
00:53:19You can't do this.
00:53:21This man didn't do
00:53:22anything wrong.
00:53:23Move.
00:53:32What the hell
00:53:32is this glass?
00:53:34Take out the mirror, too.
00:53:39This isn't a normal car.
00:53:41What's so special about it?
00:53:43It's just some old
00:53:44modified car.
00:53:45It's a custom
00:53:45Knight XV
00:53:46armored executive vehicle.
00:53:48Ballistic glass,
00:53:49reinforced chassis,
00:53:50run-flat tires.
00:53:52Brand new,
00:53:52it's worth at least
00:53:53$1.5 million.
00:53:56A $1.5 million
00:53:58custom armored car?
00:54:00You know my fiancé?
00:54:01Your sister just
00:54:02damaged state property.
00:54:04You might want to think
00:54:05about how you'll
00:54:06explain that.
00:54:07Cut the crap.
00:54:08A fugitive driving
00:54:09a car like this?
00:54:10Run the VIN!
00:54:11The assignment order
00:54:12is in the state system.
00:54:14Every search you run
00:54:15leaves another record.
00:54:16Is that a threat?
00:54:18It's a warning.
00:54:20Everything you do tonight
00:54:21leaves a trail.
00:54:22Gavin, just search him
00:54:24and take the keys.
00:54:25Fine.
00:54:26We won't handle
00:54:27this down here.
00:54:28I'll let Eleanor
00:54:29see this herself.
00:54:33Is that the same phone
00:54:34you used when you
00:54:35deleted the interstate
00:54:36footage and dispatch logs?
00:54:37What did you say?
00:54:39Roadblock footage.
00:54:40Body cam backups.
00:54:43Dispatch logs.
00:54:44You wipe nearly
00:54:4530% of it.
00:54:46The rest is already
00:54:47backed up on an
00:54:48encrypted state server.
00:54:50Who the hell are you?
00:54:51You'll find out
00:54:52soon enough.
00:54:52Right now,
00:54:54you have two choices.
00:54:55Stay down here
00:54:57and argue about the car
00:54:58or go upstairs
00:54:59and finish your
00:55:00donation and auction.
00:55:02You're helping me?
00:55:03I'm letting you
00:55:04finish the show.
00:55:06How it ends
00:55:07isn't up to you.
00:55:08Gavin, just cuff him.
00:55:10Fine.
00:55:11I'll go upstairs.
00:55:12But after the gala,
00:55:13I don't care who you are.
00:55:15I'll find out
00:55:15everything about you.
00:55:19This isn't over.
00:55:22Sir, he said
00:55:23he's going to look
00:55:24into you.
00:55:25Let him.
00:55:26The farther he goes,
00:55:27the fewer ways out
00:55:28he has.
00:55:30Warehouse confirmed.
00:55:32Nolan's alive.
00:55:33We have the ledger.
00:55:34Good.
00:55:35Let him make
00:55:36the donation first.
00:55:37Then the real show
00:55:38begins.
00:55:46Who did this
00:55:47to the car?
00:55:48I did.
00:55:49My brother
00:55:50can afford it.
00:55:53Chief Mercer,
00:55:55this is a state-registered
00:55:56protective vehicle.
00:55:58Destroying government
00:55:59property
00:55:59is a serious offense.
00:56:01Helen,
00:56:02you loaned this car
00:56:04to this fraud
00:56:04yourself,
00:56:05didn't you?
00:56:06Misusing state resources
00:56:07could cost you
00:56:08your job.
00:56:09The governor
00:56:10personally signed
00:56:11the protection order.
00:56:12This vehicle
00:56:13was assigned
00:56:14to a state-protected witness.
00:56:15Everything's by the book.
00:56:17Want the authorization number?
00:56:19I can give it to you now.
00:56:22Gavin,
00:56:23does she really
00:56:24have the paperwork?
00:56:27Then tell me
00:56:28what he's a witness to.
00:56:29Why would some fraud
00:56:31pretending to be an admiral
00:56:32need state protection?
00:56:38His identity
00:56:39is classified
00:56:40at the state level.
00:56:42Chief Mercer,
00:56:43you're no longer
00:56:45on the need-to-know list.
00:56:46Helen,
00:56:47you're protecting
00:56:48a dangerous man.
00:56:50I'll tell Eleanor
00:56:51exactly what happened.
00:56:52You'd better hope
00:56:53every piece of paperwork
00:56:55is airtight.
00:56:57Chief Mercer,
00:56:58I'd worry about
00:56:59whether you'll still
00:57:00be standing
00:57:00in that ballroom tonight.
00:57:06State investigators
00:57:07hit the warehouse.
00:57:09Nolan's safe.
00:57:10We have the ledger.
00:57:11The ring and the phone?
00:57:12We have both.
00:57:14Chain of custody
00:57:15is clean.
00:57:16Helen!
00:57:17What are you two
00:57:17talking about?
00:57:18Nothing.
00:57:19Chief Mercer,
00:57:20the gala's about to start.
00:57:22You and your sister
00:57:23should head upstairs.
00:57:24As for the car,
00:57:25the repair bill
00:57:26will go to the department's
00:57:27finance office.
00:57:29You'll be personally
00:57:30responsible for it.
00:57:32Let's go.
00:57:35Gavin!
00:57:36That fraud!
00:57:37That's...
00:57:37I said go!
00:57:46Sir,
00:57:46are you sure
00:57:47you're okay?
00:57:49The way he looked
00:57:50at you just now,
00:57:51you did good.
00:57:54You stuck to the truth.
00:57:56That's what matters.
00:57:59I was raised
00:58:00to do what's right
00:58:02and tell the truth.
00:58:06everything's in place.
00:58:08Once he makes
00:58:08the donation
00:58:09and completes
00:58:09the auction,
00:58:10we can go public.
00:58:12Let the gala begin.
00:58:15Time to close the net.
00:58:25State investigators,
00:58:27drop your weapons,
00:58:28hands on your heads.
00:58:28Get down!
00:58:35Finally came.
00:58:36Nolan Reed?
00:58:37Still alive,
00:58:39somehow.
00:58:40Where's the ledger
00:58:41you told us about?
00:58:42Hidden compartment
00:58:44behind that cabinet
00:58:45inside the wall.
00:58:57Payments from Blood Claw
00:58:58to people inside
00:58:59the department,
00:58:59times and order numbers
00:59:01showing Gavin
00:59:02used police roadblocks
00:59:03to move gang shipments.
00:59:04It all matches.
00:59:06The Blood Claw
00:59:07mark on this ring
00:59:08matches the one
00:59:08Gavin's been seen
00:59:09wearing in private.
00:59:14Gavin runs Blood Claw,
00:59:16He's kept me here
00:59:18for three months,
00:59:19questioned me
00:59:20every damn day.
00:59:21I never gave him
00:59:23a word.
00:59:24Will you testify?
00:59:26Face Gavin Mercer
00:59:27in court
00:59:28and tell them
00:59:29everything he did
00:59:30to you.
00:59:32That's why I stayed
00:59:33alive this long.
00:59:35I'll testify.
00:59:42We got the warehouse.
00:59:43Nolan's alive.
00:59:44We have the ledger,
00:59:45the ring,
00:59:46and the encrypted phone.
00:59:47He's agreed to testify.
00:59:48He says Gavin
00:59:49is the head of Blood Claw.
00:59:50I'm glad he's alive.
00:59:51Those three months
00:59:52weren't for nothing.
00:59:53So,
00:59:54do we have enough now?
00:59:57The first scans
00:59:58just came in.
00:59:59Money transfers,
01:00:00order numbers,
01:00:01time stamps,
01:00:01communication logs.
01:00:02They all matched
01:00:03the dispatch records
01:00:04from the roadblock.
01:00:05July 14th,
01:00:062.23 p.m.
01:00:08Interstate roadblock
01:00:08ordered.
01:00:092.51,
01:00:10a Blood Claw convoy
01:00:11passed through
01:00:12after the roadblock
01:00:12was lifted.
01:00:133.06,
01:00:14I was entered
01:00:15into the system
01:00:15as Nolan Reed
01:00:16in custody.
01:00:17Every piece lines up.
01:00:18He used you
01:00:19to make the public
01:00:20think Nolan was caught.
01:00:22Then he dropped
01:00:23the roadblock
01:00:23so Blood Claw
01:00:24could get through.
01:00:25You took Nolan's arrest.
01:00:27Nolan hid the ledger,
01:00:28and the ledger
01:00:29protected Gavin's
01:00:30control of the gang.
01:00:31All three trails
01:00:33lead back to you.
01:00:35Now we have all three.
01:00:36Less than 15 minutes
01:00:38until the donation segment.
01:00:39Gavin and Vanessa
01:00:40should already be seated.
01:00:43Let them donate the money.
01:00:45Let them auction the necklace.
01:00:48Every public step
01:00:49tightens the noose.
01:00:50The videos,
01:00:51timeline,
01:00:52financial records,
01:00:53and Nolan's statement
01:00:53are all loaded
01:00:54into the ballroom system.
01:00:55The second you give the word,
01:00:57everyone sees it.
01:00:58Good.
01:00:59Let's get this show started.
01:01:04Eleanor,
01:01:05you did a great job
01:01:06with the gala.
01:01:08Admiral Arthur
01:01:09will be proud of you.
01:01:10Oh, he will be.
01:01:12Just not for the reason
01:01:13you think.
01:01:14Really?
01:01:16Now I'm even more curious.
01:01:18Eleanor,
01:01:19where is Admiral Arthur?
01:01:21I've got so much
01:01:22I want to say to him.
01:01:23He'll be here soon.
01:01:25Trust me,
01:01:26you won't forget
01:01:27meeting him.
01:01:32Ladies and gentlemen,
01:01:34welcome to this year's
01:01:35Veterans Charity Gala.
01:01:37For tonight's first donation,
01:01:39please welcome
01:01:39Harbor City Police Chief
01:01:41Gavin Mercer.
01:01:42On behalf of the
01:01:43Police Charitable Fund,
01:01:45he is donating
01:01:46one million dollars
01:01:48to the families
01:01:50of fallen officers.
01:01:54As police chief,
01:01:55I've always put our officers
01:01:56and their families first.
01:01:57This donation is the result
01:01:59of years of work
01:02:00with this fund.
01:02:02I hope every dollar
01:02:03helps the families
01:02:04of those who gave
01:02:05their lives for this city.
01:02:08Next,
01:02:09Vanessa Mercer
01:02:10is donating her personal
01:02:11custom diamond necklace.
01:02:12Every dollar
01:02:13from the auction
01:02:14will go to the charity fund.
01:02:20This necklace
01:02:21was a special gift
01:02:22from my brother,
01:02:23but it can do more good
01:02:25here than sitting
01:02:25in my jewelry box.
01:02:27I want every family
01:02:28to know this city
01:02:29remembers what their
01:02:30loved ones gave.
01:02:41Eleanor,
01:02:42there's something else
01:02:43everyone here
01:02:44needs to hear.
01:02:45Go ahead.
01:02:46A man snuck
01:02:47into this gala tonight
01:02:48pretending to be
01:02:49your brother,
01:02:50Arthur Fleming.
01:02:51He took a state
01:02:52armored vehicle
01:02:53and attacked
01:02:54my sister in the garage.
01:02:55He threatened us
01:02:57and tried to blackmail us too.
01:02:59Eleanor,
01:03:00have him thrown out.
01:03:01I believe Helen
01:03:02gave him that government
01:03:03vehicle without authorization.
01:03:04She should be removed
01:03:06from her post
01:03:06and that fraud
01:03:07should be arrested.
01:03:09You're saying
01:03:09he's pretending
01:03:10to be my brother?
01:03:11Yes!
01:03:12He said it himself.
01:03:14Then he made up
01:03:15a whole bunch of lies.
01:03:16Then what do you think
01:03:17the real Arthur looks like?
01:03:19Powerful,
01:03:21respected,
01:03:22someone people look up to?
01:03:24That man is obviously
01:03:25a fraud.
01:03:26He doesn't even look
01:03:27like he belongs
01:03:28in your family.
01:03:29You're right.
01:03:30Arthur never should have
01:03:31been treated like that.
01:03:34Ladies and gentlemen,
01:03:35tonight's guest of honor
01:03:36has been waiting backstage.
01:03:38Please welcome my brother,
01:03:40retired Navy Admiral
01:03:41Arthur Fleming.
01:04:01No, that's impossible.
01:04:04How could he be?
01:04:06Pull yourself together.
01:04:07Don't panic.
01:04:10Three months ago,
01:04:12my brother came home
01:04:12after retiring from the Navy.
01:04:14He rented a car
01:04:15and told no one.
01:04:16He wanted to surprise me.
01:04:18But instead of coming home
01:04:19to a hug,
01:04:20he was stopped
01:04:20on the interstate.
01:04:21They pulled a gun on him,
01:04:23destroyed his ID,
01:04:25forced him to confess
01:04:26to being a fugitive.
01:04:27Then they beat him
01:04:28until his ribs
01:04:28and arm were fractured.
01:04:30All because they needed
01:04:31a scapegoat.
01:04:32Oh!
01:04:34Eleanor,
01:04:34it was a misunderstanding.
01:04:35He had a mask on that day.
01:04:37We couldn't see his face clearly.
01:04:39Vanessa,
01:04:39you opened my car door
01:04:40and looked at me three times.
01:04:42You said,
01:04:42that's the fugitive.
01:04:43I saw him myself.
01:04:45Want me to keep going?
01:04:51Turn it off!
01:04:52Turn that screen off!
01:04:54That video was edited.
01:04:56It's fake!
01:04:57You ordered every officer
01:04:58to shut off their body cams.
01:04:59You thought that meant no evidence.
01:05:00But a witness recorded everything.
01:05:02It's complete and unedited.
01:05:03Gavin got both reports
01:05:04and offers not to pursue.
01:05:05He didn't need a fugitive.
01:05:06He needed a scapegoat.
01:05:06My name is Nolan Reed.
01:05:07Gavin Mercer held me captive.
01:05:09He's the head of Blood Claw.
01:05:10He took me because
01:05:11he wanted the ledger.
01:05:12The ledger shows Gavin
01:05:13used police resources.
01:05:14His DNA was found on the ring.
01:05:16The phone records match as well.
01:05:17It's a setup.
01:05:18Someone's framing me.
01:05:19And then there's the necklace
01:05:20your sister donated tonight.
01:05:22You took $250,000
01:05:23meant for families
01:05:24of fallen officers.
01:05:25You ran it through a shell company
01:05:26and bought diamonds with it.
01:05:27Vanessa wore it proudly.
01:05:28Then she put it
01:05:29on the auction block herself.
01:05:31Gavin Mercer,
01:05:32you are relieved of your duties
01:05:33as police chief.
01:05:34Kidnapping.
01:05:34Instruction of justice.
01:05:36Evidence tampering.
01:05:36Embezzlement.
01:05:37Organized crime.
01:05:38You're coming to arrest.
01:05:46Ten years.
01:05:48Harbor City sure has changed.
01:05:50You're home now.
01:05:51You've got plenty of time
01:05:52to see it.
01:05:53What do you think
01:05:54Mom would say
01:05:55if she could see us tonight?
01:05:56She'd say
01:05:57my kids are finally home.
01:06:00Eleanor.
01:06:01This time
01:06:03I'm really home.
01:06:05Welcome home,
01:06:06little brother.
01:06:07little brother.
