[Faith] Previously on Will Trent...
Has anyone died in here?
A hundred percent. Yeah, it's a hospital.
There's, like, a hundred ghosts in here waiting for you to kiss me.
- Great. I'm nervous now. - You're right. Let's forget it.
- Let's forget it. - Forget the whole thing.
[Faith] So you make him your CI?
To go poking around, so he can get killed by Raphael's guys?
- [Will sighs] - That was not your call to make, Will.
- We need EMS. Now! - What happened?
I shot him.
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.
This is good news. It was a clean shoot.
I killed a 14-year-old boy today.
There's no such thing as a clean shoot.
[panting]
[grunts]
Okay. Okay.
[engine sputtering]
Oh, no, no. Oh, no, no. Come on.
[pants] Come on.
[engine starts]
We're gonna make it.
[tires screech]
- Will, you have to be here. - [clock ticking]
So let's make it worth your while.
[sighs]
Has the medication been helping?
I wouldn't know. I haven't taken it.
[sighs]
I wanna try an exercise with you.
Great.
An emotion wheel? Really?
So you're familiar?
If you did your homework, you'd know that I grew up in the system.
Then you know that sometimes we don't have the right words
to describe how we're feeling.
Let's try "I feel" statements.
[sighs]
Are you feeling angry?
[ticking]
[ticking speeds up]
[therapist] Will?
I also told you in our first session that I was dyslexic.
Do you pay attention? Isn't that your job?
I'm sorry, um...
but can we try?
I feel...
like you're bad at your job.
I feel like this is a huge waste of time.
I feel like no matter what I do in here, it's not gonna bring Marco back to life.
And I feel...
I feel like we're done here.

No. Quan hasn't even gotten to the chamois yet. Get back in there.
Therapy is not going to fix me.
Did he give you the feel wheel?
Yes. He did.
Dr. Martin still playing the hits. [chuckles]
[sighs] What the hell does that guy know about what we have to deal with?
He doesn't need to understand everything.
Just help you work through it and move on.
Moving on is barbaric.
All right, I did something terrible.
The least I can do is feel this way forever.
You can't live like that. What are you talking about?
You know, you wanna help me? Take me off desk duty.
Let me do my job.
No.
You're so mean to yourself, Will.
What if I was the one who accidently killed a child?
What if it was Polaski or Faith?
What would you say to them?
I think you'd support them and be there for them.
Help them remember that they're a good person who...

I need my work, Amanda.
Hey, Quan. You got another one of these chairs?
Coming up. Anything for you, Miss Amanda.
For the next hour, you and I are gonna sit here in silence

[recording on phone] The victim is female, Jane Doe.
Body discovered by a jogger in Little Five Points at 5:00 a.m.
on December 4th, 2019.
Found hanging upside down.
She had a laceration from her neck to her pelvis...
[Marion] Little easy listening on a Monday?
Blood spatter indicates victims' vital organs were removed.
- Search for organs is still ongoing. - Eduardo, off. Off.
[recording stops]
Um, sorry. Listening to cases that were left open.
Trying to stay industrious while on desk duty.
I've reviewed 47 cases and, uh,
I've closed two.
- Look at you. - Hmm.
Came for proof of life.
Mmm. Is there a form I need to sign?
Oh, yes, please.
And if you could just check the box that says that you are not ghosting me.
- I would never. - Cool.
So, how about we go see a movie tonight?
I can't.
That's it? You just can't?
Because you actually can. You actually totally can.
Let me make you feel better, the way that you did for me.
But is... is it not a two-way street?
It's just not the same.
Okay. I'll, um...
I'll let you get back to it then.
Irreconcilable differences. Communication issues.
Look, I have learned all I possibly can from the great Will Trent.
What are you not telling me?
Nothing. [sighs]
It's time. I want a new partner.
I said no.
And I'm done talking about it.
And don't think I won't find out what's really going on, because I will.
So, what'd she say?
We're stuck together.
[doors slam]
[Angie] Wow, you folks are right on the Atlanta city line.
[chuckling] Oh, yeah.
I always tell Buck, "Now, don't you cross that line, mister."
- [Angie chuckles] - That makes us chuckle.
Honey, they don't care about that right now.
I'm sorry. I'm just upset.
I've never seen a dead body before,
and now I've got two of 'em right there in our front yard.
Yeah.
You think you recognize either one of 'em?
Oh, gosh, no.
Nah, never seen 'em.
You hear any gunshots?
No, ma'am. We were just watching our programs.
- And we heard a little gentle... - Bonk.
- A gentle bonk? - That's right.
It was a hushed... [blusters]
They couldn't have been going more than ten miles an hour.
And there's no license plates either.
- That's weird, right? - That is weird. Yeah.
Okay, we can take it from here. Thank you so much for your time.
Oh, thank you.
Oh, VIN's scratched off. Think it's stolen?
Could be.
Looks like the driver has a gunshot wound to her upper back.
- Yeah. - Look at all this glass.
- It's all in the bed. - And it's on their laps.
[Angie] Yeah, makes me think they were hit,
and then they just kept driving till she bled out.
Could've been a while.
Well, that would explain the gentle bonk.
The hushed "hmph"?
Why didn't they stop for help?
I don't know. We'll pull traffic cam footage.
See if we can figure out where they were coming from,
where they were shot at.
Yeah. We have any idea who they are?
- No idea. - They didn't have ID?
I don't know. I haven't gone in the truck yet.
This truck? You haven't been in this truck yet?
We were told not to lay a finger on anything till you guys get here.
How do you know they're dead?
They look really dead.
I got no pulse.
Mine's still warm.
No, no, she's still alive. Get an ambulance, she's still alive!
[recording through phone] The victim is a 52-year-old man,
found dismembered.
His limbs were located after a brief search.
Marinara sauce was found on the victim's left hand.
- The murder weapon was... - You good, homey?
- ...an 11-inch bowie knife dull... - Just fine.
- ...which would explain the several... - Yeah, you seem fine.
...attempts at severing various limbs.
It appears the suspect attempted to carve crude markings into flesh...
Can I make a suggestion?
Can we turn off all this graphic, bloody, murder talk?
...on the torso, but these are attributed
- to animals in the area. - Eduardo, off.
We've been through some pretty bad stuff.
We always end up back on our feet.
It's gonna get better.
Back pain?
- [both] No. - Great.
Well, that's about all the small talk I got.
[Faith] Door's open.
Hi.
Hey, so we got a case we could use your help with.
Here's what we got, a truck with two women literally on the city limits.
One's dead, gunshot wound. The other one's in a coma.
And we are trying to figure out what caused it.
We don't know how they know each other. We don't know where they were coming from.
But the last thing we need is
Douglas County officers trying to handle this.
And so, how about you guys swoop in there and take the wheel?
Or you could just say that you're taking the wheel,
- and we'll work the case in peace. - Let Jesus takes the wheel.
Somebody, please. Just interrupt--
Me. Me.
He's on desk duty. I will take it.
Great. So, uh, we got finger prints off the surviving passenger.
Her name's Jade Meritson.
She's a former kindergarten teacher from Blue Ridge.
And the driver's name was Aster Danforth.
We actually ID'd her from her knee replacement plate.
We can't find any connection between these women.
Except that they were in a pickup truck that crashed into a tree.
[both] It was a gentle bonk.
[Angie] We got nothing from traffic cams,
so we have no idea where this crime originated.
Wherever it was, they weren't treating their meat.
- What does that even mean? - Sorry, it's...
Pete found a tapeworm during Aster's autopsy.
He thinks it came from untreated pork.
Did you say tapeworm?
Really? This is where you're chiming in?
Tapeworm. Tapeworm.
Tapeworm. Tape... Tapeworm. Tape...
And it's gone.
I think he'll be okay.
Anyway, I'm gonna head to the hospital.
I'm gonna check on Jade. Her sister just got in town.
Good idea. Ormewood, let's go see if we can get more information on that truck.
We were always really close, but then,
I don't know. Something changed.
Something happened?
Jade was doing IVF.
She was, um, trying to have a baby on her own.
Mm-hmm?
And she had gone through a couple of miscarriages.
- Um, one of 'em at seven months. - Oh...
[sobbing] And I really tried to be there for her.
- When's the last time you saw her? - Maybe a year ago.
- It was just before the letter. - The letter?
[scoffs] Yeah, she sent me a letter.
Like, in the mail?
Yeah. Very formal and... cold.
- What did it say? - Hold on. I took a picture of it.
"Sydney, I have come to the difficult decision
that I need to step back from this relationship.
The energy between us has turned toxic.
I need to protect my peace
and prioritize growth moving forward."
Wow. That hurts.
It killed me.
What happened to her?
- Hey. Sorry I'm late. - Hey.
- Aw! You got fries. I love you. - Yeah.
- I don't mean that. I mean, I'm, uh... - [chuckles]
Thank you for ordering french fries. I love fries.
We have so much in common.
- We do, actually. - Mm-hmm?
- We both love french fries. - Right.
We both have jobs. We both like spending time together.
Why haven't we had sex yet?
[clears throat] Wow.
- Okay, that-- - Well...
Yeah. So...
- Here's the thing, I really want to. - Oh, that's good.
Yeah, very much so.
But I have been thinking a lot about it,
and I'm trying a new thing.
So, it doesn't feel like it, probably, but it is a huge compliment.
Okay. So, no pressure.
But whenever you decide, you know, it's time,
- I consent. - Mm-hmm. No kidding.
Hey. What are we consenting to?
- Sex. - [clears throat]
- Okay. - [Angie] Okay.
Good news.
We got the VIN number off the truck.
Bad news is, owner's been dead for months.
So, truck's a dead end.
How's our not-dead girl?
Still unconscious. Fighting severe infection.
High fever, low blood pressure.
We still can't figure out where the infection's coming from yet,
- but there is one weird thing-- - Hey, Mitchell.
Hey. So I spoke with Aster's ex-husband,
and I'm somehow even more confused.
- What'd he say? - Wait, stop.
Were you two sitting on the same side of the booth? Alone?
No one else was coming?
- Yeah. - That's disgusting.
Okay, wait. So there was no one on this side? Like at all?
Show me both your hands.
- [laughs] - Nothing's happening.
Believe me.
But I'm told it's a compliment.
- It is. - Okay, maybe we should go.
No. Just shut up and tell me about Aster's ex-husband.
- What'd he say? - [sighs] Yeah, it was sad.
Their son died in a car accident,
and the marriage didn't survive.
- [Michael exhales heavily] - Aster pretty much cut him off.
She wrote him this weird letter, saying that he was toxic
and she didn't want anything to do with him.
Okay.
Jade sent her sister a letter, saying that she was toxic
after a string of miscarriages.
So both women had their own versions of trauma
- and cut everybody off? - [Angie] Mm-hmm.
Pattern. But it still doesn't tell us how they know each other.
- Right. - [Will] Hmm.
I looked into the worms.
You said your dead victim had worms.
Aster had a tapeworm, yeah.
- Jade Meritson has a worm. - Oh, why didn't you say so?
Well, I tried to, but then a flash mob came in and started eating our fries.
Taenia solium?
- Yeah, it's the same worm. - What's your worm?
It's an open case from last year, suspicious drowning.
Um, the deceased had the same tapeworm.
So, tapeworm math: if everybody has the same tapeworm,
does that mean that they got it from the same place?
It's possible. I mean, if a pig had a tapeworm
and everyone ate the same infected pork...
Or if they all ate crops planted in infected night soil...
What's night soil?
- [both] Human manure. - [groans]
Fascinating thing is they can grow up to 30 feet inside human intestines.
They have six rows of teeth.
They can live inside you for years without any symptoms.
- They absorb food through their skin. - Mm-hmm.
- Yeah? What are the teeth for? - It's for latching on to the intestines.
They're actually incredibly resilient creatures.
I, uh... I don't think we've met.
- Oh. - Oh.
He's my... We met when, uh...
Angie hit him with her car.
No, I didn't hit him with my car.
- He's a doctor. - [Angie] Oh, God.
They're dating.
Oh.
Oh. Um, well, that's... that's healthy.
Will, Seth.
Seth, Will.
Oh, you're Will. Nice to meet you.
Yeah. Um, hi.
All right, let's get back to trying to figure out the connection
between Aster and Jade, and what's your worm guy?
- Um, Dermot Park. - Wait.
Your worm guy is my truck guy.
Dermot Park was the owner of the gold truck.
Okay, these people are definitely connected.
Let's look into Dermot.
- All right. - Nope.
Hey.
All right.
You wanna sit?
[Marion laughing] True. Yes. [sighs]
I'm just so happy you called.
Me too.
- Yeah? - Mmm.
And that was fun, right? The batting cages.
Oh, my God.
- I'm good. - You are good.
- I'm good. - That was a really, really good idea.
- I didn't even know I needed that. - [laughs]
Oh, I just... I wonder what Marco's doing right now.
What?
Marco.
You know, we should call him.
Marion...
[ticking]
Marco's dead. Why would you...
- [ticking continues] - You hear that?
Hear what?
It's like a clicking sound.
Good news.
It's a clean shoot. A good shoot.
- [gasps] - [ticking stops]
[chuckles lightly]
- [Marco] It hurts. - [Will panting] No.
No.
- [Betty barking] - No!
[gasps]
[recording] ...to the abdomen and defensive wounds on her hands.
- A portion of the left ear was severed. - [Betty whimpers]
You got this.
Okay?
[whimpering continues]
[bangs]
[sniffles, gasps, sobs]
- Yeah, no sleep for me, girl. - [Betty whimpers]
Jade. Aster. Dermot.
What's the common denominator?
Eduardo, compare the bank statements of the three victims.
1028 common charges in categories of groceries, entertainment, travel.
Twelve common charges to Olas Collective.
Search Olas Collective.
[promo narrator] A single drop can become a wave of change.
[waves crashing]
- [clicks mouse] - Reclaim your life and purpose.
Hey. Saw you called. Thought I'd pop in.
Yeah, would you mind closing the door?
Sure.
- What's going on? - We have a problem with Will's CI.
I think we need to deactivate them.
That person is facing felony drug charges.
It's either they satisfy the deal or they face prosecution.
I don't want them to satisfy the deal or face prosecution.
This person is unstable and unfit for the job.
How do you know them? I don't even know the CI's identity.
I can't tell you that.
Is this what you and Will were arguing about?
- We weren't. - Hmm. Okay.
Look, Will is barely speaking to me, and now you come to me with this,
and you both are lying.
So, yeah, this is feeling pretty sketchy.
Will and I are on the same page about this.
Then why isn't he here?
We're partners. He trusts me.
And I'm the one throwing the flag on this play.
Technically, you're asking me to break the law.
Until the CI can provide information that leads us to a major arrest,
or brings in a solid lead, there is nothing I can do.
It's either that, or they face prosecution for a felony.
Are we done here?
I guess we are.
Yeah, me and Dermot were friends.
[scoffs] Until his girlfriend broke up with him, and he got weird.
Weird like what?
Well, he was in a dark place.
But then he started going to these classes,
and, I don't know, he got better.
- What kind of classes? - Self-help. Enlightenment. Woo-woo stuff.
When was the last time you and Dermot spoke?
I didn't really hear from him for a while. Like, a long time. [sighs]
[chuckles] But then he sent me a letter
that was basically him saying he wants nothing to do with me.
I was like, "You do you, bro. Whatever.
Sorry I didn't go to your weird cult class."
Do you happen to remember the name of the organization?
[sighs]
No idea.
My brain is like Swiss cheese these days. I'm so sorry. I have no idea why.
Focus.
What else can you tell us about Dermot?
[whispering] About a year later,
I get a call from an unknown number.
It was Dermot.
There was something different about him.
- [whispering] Different how? - Paranoid.
Kept saying the phone was bugged,
and wanted to meet in person.
- Did you meet him? - [normal voice] No.
He died. Drowned.
He was drunk, apparently.
Are you saying you think this organization is behind his death?
Either they did it,
or they turned him into the kind of guy who would get drunk,
go lake swimming in the middle of winter.
Whatever it was, it ruined his life.
Hi. What's your name?
Um, Bill. Bill Morales.
- Do you want... May I? - Oh. Sure.
Okay.
It's nice to meet you, Bill.
- Oh. Pleasure's... - Hmm.
Nice to meet you too, um...
- Rain. [chuckles] - Rain.
Here, uh...
So glad you're here.
Me too, yeah.
It was a Monday. I was driving home from work
and saw a fire truck pulling into my neighborhood.
And I remember thinking,
"I wonder where they're going? I wonder what happened?"
And when I get home,
I see the fire truck parked in my driveway.
[sobbing] They had, um, someone on a stretcher.
It was my boy.
I had gun in a drawer.
And I was supposed to install the gun safe, but...
I never got around to it.
[sighs]
I don't wanna hear that it's not my fault,
that I'm a good person.
I don't wanna hear any of that. All...
All I wanna hear...
is that I am the worst person in the world.
You are the worst person in the world.
[Quincy] Whew.
Sometimes, you just need to be where you are, and that's okay.
[breathing deeply]
We have an intensive retreat,
where we work on these things together. Do you wanna join us, Quincy?
It's an invitation.
You don't have to say yes.
Yes.
- Yes. - [Quincy] Yes. Yes.
Did you feel that?
That... That... It's a transformative energy.
It's like music. Something enters the air and changes it.
Ooh!
You know, we are like an orchestra tuning to each other.
And it's not until we are in harmony with each other
that we can get to a place
where we can truly experience inner harmony. See?
Can't change the past, right? Past is past.
But accepting what we've been resisting
is embracing our power.
Your trauma doesn't define you.
You...
define your trauma.
I spoke to Marion. I'm gonna take over handling Jeremy.
He's no longer your problem.
Faith. I've known Rafael for half of my life.
- Let me help you fix this. - You've done enough.
[sighs]
Is today the day I find out why you two are fighting?
Well, tomorrow then.
In the meantime, let's solve a murder.
All right. So, we're ready to say it, right?
Cult.
Well, it has a name. Olas Collective.
I did some digging. Jade Meritson, Aster Danforth, and Dermot Park,
all donated money to this nonprofit.
Half a million combined.
It markets itself as a wellness organization,
selling self-help courses designed to promote personal growth and healing.
How do you know all about this?
Desk duty. I got nothing but time.
So, I checked property records.
Olas Collective owns several pieces of land.
One of them is only about 40 miles from the scene of the crime.
Could be where Jade and Aster were coming from.
So, they tried to escape and were shot. Dermot got out, and they came after him.
Oh, take it easy. There's no proof of that.
Here's the problem, cults aren't illegal.
The First Amendment protects all beliefs, no matter how extreme.
Well, so let's go out there on the DL and check it out.
- Can do. - [Faith] All righty.
We'll call you if we find anything interesting.
[satnav app] You've arrived at your destination.
Well, this is not it.
The lady says we're here.
[Angie] What are these? An art installation?
They're beehives. Bees are in them.
- I hate bees. - I didn't know you had a bee thing.
It's not a thing. Just no need to provoke.
Well, someone's gotta be taking care of 'em, right?
This land belongs to Olas. It's 110 acres.
It's possible that there's a compound here somewhere.
- [gunshots] - Shots fired! Find cover!
- [bees buzzing] - Oh, God.
- The bees are getting bothered. - It's bees or bullets, Mitchell.
Where is it coming from?
They're in woodline. 12 o'clock.
Cover me while I move.
- Set! - Moving!
[leaves rustle]
APD! Stop right there!
Stay down! Show me your hands!
Now turn over. Slowly.
[sniffs]
[Angie] She's 16. She's just a kid.
Yeah. I don't think she's ever had a Cheeto before.
So, like, obviously, whoever comes to get her,
is from Olas Collective.
[Michael] What kind of a maniac raises a kid
to know more about guns than Cheetos?
Ballistics just came back.
All right. The rifle baby sniper used
to shoot at us in the field is not the one that killed Aster?
[elevator bell dings]
Oh, this must be the guardian.
[Angie] Wow.
She's a little older to have a newborn.
Could be her grandchild?
Child, grandchild. That baby's a prop.
I hate this woman already.
Let me handle this. Ormewood, be my wingman.
[Amanda] You are the guardian of Finn Lambert?
Finn is a child in my care.
Her parents were unfit to raise her, so I took her in.
You know, I have a 16-year-old. I wouldn't let him use a gun unsupervised.
We could've killed her. You realize that, right?
Well, thank God you didn't.
I'm surprised more innocent people don't get shot
if your department makes a regular practice of trespassing
- on private property-- - Well, perhaps my people would've taken
a more direct approach had information on your group
not been so difficult to come by.
- Amanda, I don't think that-- - It's Deputy Director Wagner.
- [baby crying] - Okay. All right.
Excuse me.
Hey. Here you go.
Perhaps you'd like some privacy?
No, it's all right. I'll just--
Okay, sweetie.
All right. Deputy Director Wagner,
I run an intentional living community.
A sanctuary space for vulnerable individuals,
including several actively escaping abuse.
With that, comes constant threats.
They must be constant if you feel the need to use children as protection.
I feel the need to give children a means of protecting themselves.
You know, there's something I've been struggling with.
Maybe you can offer some insight while I've got you here.
Of course.
Was she a threat or a vulnerable person?
I don't know her.
- Really? - Yeah.
Because we've connected her to your intentional living community.
[sighs]
Any further questions can be directed to my lawyer.
It was a pleasure to meet you, Ms. Woods.
We'll be sure to show our badges the next time we meet.
Listen to this. Rain Woods is not only the legal guardian of baby sniper,
but also 13 other minors who all live with her.
Whoa, that is a lot of children for one woman to take care of.
Geez.
- Hey. - [whispering] Your boo's here.
- [knocks] - Hello. Hey.
Hi. What are you doing here?
Jade is heading into surgery now. We found the source of her infection.
It's retained placental tissue.
So, she gave birth?
- When? Can you tell? - I'd estimate a couple months ago.
Wherever it was, she did not have proper medical care.
- Oh, my God. You don't think-- - That woman walked in here and back out
with a stolen baby strapped to her?
Not only that, she was breastfeeding it.
That's a power move like I've never seen.
I don't even think that baby was hungry.
Can you breastfeed if you haven't just recently given birth?
Yes. It's possible to induce lactation.
Or you could continue breastfeeding indefinitely.
We don't know for sure whose baby this is,
and we don't have enough for a warrant.
We need to get inside this thing, but we need to do it right.
I don't want another Waco on our hands.
Okay, unless there are any further questions about lactation,
- Angie, I will see you later. Yeah? - Okay. Yeah.
- Bye. Mm-hmm. - Thank you.
I can get inside.
Excuse me?
I went to an Olas Collective seminar.
You're on desk duty.
- I needed to see it for myself. - As Will Trent?
- Bill Morales. - [groans] I don't like this.
- What was the seminar like? - It was Rain speaking to a room
of broken people looking for answers.
But that's all it was.
Now, if we wanna find that baby and tie these people to Aster's murder,
we need more information.
The only way to find out what's really going on in there
is to get beneath the surface.
I hate where this is going.
So, what's the plan, Bill?
Well, the classes are just the tip of the iceberg.
So if you're really serious,
they offer retreats.
You wanna go somewhere with these people?
I'm sorry, that is a terrible idea.
I made a connection with Rain. I can get in. I know I can.
Will, you've experienced a trauma.
You are the precisely the kind of person to target.
Which is exactly why I am the only one who can get in there.
Am I the only one who can see this?
Can you have a little faith in me?
I think I can manage not drinking the Kool-Aid.
Amanda, I hate this so much.
- Just say no. - We have two dead bodies,
a woman in the hospital, and a possible kidnapping of an infant.
We need to know what the hell's going on in there.
And right now, I'm our only shot.
If I let you go in there, I'll have conditions.
Are you serious?
Really?
I'll get an invite to the retreat tomorrow.
You're going undercover?
How long will you be gone for?
I don't know.
[stammers] I find it hard to believe that there's no one else that can go.
I mean, out of the whole GBI, they can't send anyone else?
I'll be all right.
I've done this before.
- Marion-- - No.
There's something that I wanna say.
I love you, Will.
I have not been able to show up for you...
the way you deserve.
I'm sorry.
I am going to take the burden off of you.
Let's take a break.
And I'm just gonna go live my life.
And I'll miss you...
so much.
And I'll think of you. And I'll worry about you.
But maybe it's just not our time.
Maybe too many bad things happened to us too fast.
You're a good person, Will Trent.
Everything that happened, you know...
you know that's not your fault, right?
I don't wanna hear...
that I'm a good person.
I don't wanna hear...
that it's not my fault.
I just wanna be where I am.
Well, you know where to find me.

This is a solar-powered satellite phone.
You are to check in within the first 48 hours, no exceptions.
We need to establish a secure location
where we can deliver anything you might need once you're inside.
We can use a drone for that.
I'll scout a spot for the drop.
These people are dangerous, Will.
They've a lot to hide,
and they've already shown us they'll do anything to protect it.
And what's your cover story?
I killed a kid.
Look.
You and I have both allowed ourselves to be defined by our jobs.
And I know that for you, for better or for worse,
the only way you're gonna get past this...
is through your work.
Wilbur Trent,
I have never been as worried about you as I am right now.
Don't fall through the cracks in that cover story.
Please, take care of yourself.

[TV presenter] That's right, the focus of this week's Hometown Hero
is a seventh grader...
Hey.
Oh, hey.
- Are you okay? - Yes, I'm fine.
Just, um... Just worried about a friend.
- Sunny. - Yeah.
I'm glad you're here.
Me too.
Hey.
- Hi. - Uh, what are you doing?
I was in the neighborhood.
- It's a good neighborhood. - Yeah.
- What are you doing? - Well, I was reading.
New England Journal of Medicine.
This article on transcatheter aortic-valve implant.
I'm kidding. I was watching basketball.
Okay.
You okay?
It's just been a weird day.
I went to a meeting.
Uh, it didn't really help.
But then I remembered there's this really cute doctor,
and he wants to have sex with me.
- Yeah. Yeah. - Yeah.
[Will] I've been having a hard time.
Harder than I care to admit.
It was like any other night,
but it was raining.
And, uh, I was distracted.
I was on the phone.
I was texting, actually,
but of course, I didn't tell the police that.
I was turning left, and...
I had the green light.
But there was a kid on a bike.
He wasn't supposed to be there,
just like I wasn't supposed to hit him.
But I should've looked.
I wasn't trying to hurt anyone, but...
it doesn't matter what I intended.
I took an innocent life.
I can't take that back. I can't bring him back.
And I can't make it right.
[sobs]
I couldn't save him.
And now I...
I don't know where else to go.
It's an unplugged intensive.
Welcome.
Thank you.
Want help with that?
Come again?
Your blindfold.
Oh, um, sure.
It's all a part of the experience.
Just wait.
Great.
