- [match bell dings] - [heartbeat pounding]
[blows thudding]
[roaring]
[ultrasound pulsing]
[laughing]
[Gemma] There she is. Isabel.
I can't wait to meet her in person.
She's gonna be so lucky to have you and David.
He's gonna be such a great dad.
It's totally not a crisis,
but I see why the heartbeat is slower.
She has a problem with her heart?
No. Her heart is perfect.
The problem is the umbilical cord.
It's wrapped around her neck.
[Charlotte] Oh, my God.
It's gonna be fine.
Gemma is at 39 weeks.
Ready to go.
We'll schedule in a C-section for tomorrow.
And the baby will be okay?
[phone chimes]
[doctor] I'm gonna put this monitor on your tummy.
If Isabel is in distress,
it's gonna send me a signal and I'll step in,
but tomorrow should be fine.
Gemma?
It's gonna be okay.
I've known Hana my whole life.
If she says it's fine, it's fine.
I know.
She's the best.
You've made this all so easy.
Isabel's gonna have an amazing mother.
[gentle music]
[chuckles softly]
I think she's terrified.
I'm terrified.
It's gonna be fine, Charlotte.
You've already done the hard part.
Getting her to do prenatal care, taking care of herself.
Trust me, this is not how most adoptions go.
I love her.
Gemma, I mean.
I do.
Well, tomorrow,
I'll hand you Isabel,
and you'll have someone else to love.
[chuckling]
Thank you.
[exhales]
[foreboding music]
Gemma?
[suspenseful music]
[resigned sigh]
[theme music playing]
[upbeat music]
[knocking]
Hey.
I come with gifts.
These are the greatest breakfast burritos
in maybe the entire country.
The greatest?
Yeah. And I should get a tip.
Well, this is interesting.
Yeah, it's very interesting.
They have Tater Tots inside the burrito,
which I'm a fan of.
- Do they? - Yeah.
Yeah, no, I meant that there's two of them.
Yeah, well, I get to eat too. I'm hungry.
Mm-hmm. I think that you are using my forced confinement
to hang out with me.
That's ridiculous.
Just admit it.
I'll admit, um,
that you have cabin fever and that I'm hungry.
Okay? Will you stop?
- [laughs] - Can I have a burrito, please?
[wrappers rustling]
Okay, well...
what's going on with our case?
Excuse me. Uh, our case?
Yeah, the car bomb.
What other case have we worked on?
Mm. Yeah, that's, um, that's not my thing.
Homicide is handling that now.
No. I know you.
Somebody blew up your guy after a bus-napping.
There is no way that you're letting that go.
Okay, you got me.
I asked for the report,
and, uh, if it's up on the portal,
I'll get a notification.
Great. I think you should still bring me into the MPU.
You know I could bust this thing open.
Mm-hmm.
I can make myself useful
while you run around chasing cats.
Obviously kidding. I know you don't do cats.
- [phone buzzes] - Hmm.
Is that it? Is that the report?
No.
It's a wedding invitation.
Ouch! The ex is moving on.
No ouch. I mean, "ex" is the keyword.
Okay, so there's... there's no hard feelings?
- No. - There's no lingering sense of failure?
Or running around with randos just trying to dull the pain?
Oh, okay?
You're just... You're just happy for them?
I'm just happy for them.
Okay.
I am... so happy for you!
Aww...
I'm not crying, you're crying! [squealing]
Don't!
Oh, it's not like the actual ceremony will change anything.
Oh, no, but it will!
I mean, ceremonies are so important.
I'm so glad to hear you say that,
because...
Mike and I want you to officiate.
It would mean a lot.
Yes! Wow!
Yes. Duh, yes!
I... I would be truly honored, yes!
Is there a world where that gets me a plus-one?
A plus-one? Plus-who?
That's exciting.
I didn't know you were dating anyone.
I am, and, yes, before you ask, it is a real person,
and yes, he does exist in this century.
He just has, you know, a bit of a high profile,
and we're not ready to go public yet.
Who? Come on!
When you get a second. Please?
You may have been saved by the bell,
but this conversation isn't over.
[Kemi laughs]
[Charlotte] The umbilical cord is wrapped around the baby's neck.
Gemma needs a C-section before she goes into labor.
If that happens, it may be too late.
Oh, I can see how this might've scared her,
the reality of what she's giving up.
No.
Just before she disappeared, she got a text message.
- It seemed to bother her. - Okay.
I don't know if this means anything,
but it's been two hours,
her phone is going right to voicemail,
she's not at her place, she's not anywhere.
You know, maybe she just needed time to process.
Not like this. Not with the baby in distress.
Gemma would never risk Isabel's life,
not... not intentionally.
I understand.
I adopted two kids myself.
It's a whole extra layer of worry.
It's not just about the baby.
Gemma's become family.
I'm worried for her.
What about you, David? Any clue what happened?
I'm scared, too,
but not that someone did something.
I'm scared that Gemma changed her mind.
She wouldn't.
We said this wouldn't happen the first time we tried to adopt.
It was different.
Maybe.
I like Gemma, I do.
We both know how this goes.
She walked out of that office.
If she chose to leave, there's nothing we can do.
Well, I hate to say it, but he's got a point.
A baby's life hangs in the balance,
and we shouldn't put out an alert?
I think we should. All right?
But we have a new boss that... what did he say?
"Makes problems go away."
And you don't want MPU to be a problem.
I don't want you to be a problem. Okay?
If you put out an alert for somebody
who leaves a doctor's office under their own free will,
I'm worried he's gonna hammer you for--
For what? Being an emotional woman?
Hell, no, all right? I value my life.
- Good. - I'm just asking.
You really want to antagonize him?
Yeah, you're absolutely right.
[speaking Spanish]
[in English] "You catch more flies with honey."
- Honey, yes. - Ah, okay.
I'll go drizzle on the honey.
Espanol, mi amor...
You're supposed to be learning Spanish!
What happened to that?
Wha...
[elevator bell dings]
Captain Batista. I was just coming to see you.
That's weird.
The mustache? I know, it's weird, right?
No, I mean it's weird,
because I was actually coming to see you.
I'll push 18, and we can talk on the way up.
It's nice, the no mustache.
It's a good look.
The wife said it was scratching the baby.
Congratulations, again.
Um, you said that you were actually coming to see me?
Is there a problem?
Detective Grant requested a homicide file,
and I'm just wondering if that was an MPU ask,
or your cowboy being a cowboy.
- I'll circle back on that. - [bell dings]
[strains of music playing in the distance]
Well, that would be Helen.
- She likes her show tunes. - Helen. Yeah.
I remember. Odd duck.
Well, I'm, uh, gonna head back down.
I'll ride down with you.
I wanted your blessing on this case that just walked in.
- Hmm. - We have a missing woman, pregnant.
The baby's in trouble.
- I didn't see an alert go out. - No, it hasn't yet.
We're still trying to clarify her situation.
I waited a long time to become a dad, Nikki,
and that makes it even more precious.
Like I said, babies come first.
Issue that alert.
Now.
[alerts begin blaring, overlapping]
[alert continues blaring]
[upbeat music]
I know there are privacy issues,
but you're about to have an adoption end very badly.
I need the name of the biological father.
Fine. You'll have a warrant.
We just got a hit off the alert.
Gemma was spotted in a diner in South Philly.
- So she did walk away? - No, it's unlikely.
Gemma ordered an "angel shot" in her coffee.
- Oh, God. - I know.
Bar code for "SOS" She's in trouble.
And before the waitress could get help,
the man Gemma was with hustled her out of there.
Any CCTV? A description? Anything?
No footage, and the description is vague.
And she's about to deliver a baby who won't survive without a C-section.
Get everyone in the conference room now.
Okay, so Gemma was last seen at 9:15
at a doctor's office here, in Rittenhouse Square.
We pulled CCTV, and she didn't walk out of the front door.
What about the parking garage?
I mean, it's hundreds of cars in and out,
and the CCTV can't pick up the plates.
There are a lot of people who'd do anything to get a baby.
Targeting an OB's office,
it's disgusting, but logical.
Yeah, I don't buy a stranger takes her to a diner.
Had to be someone she knows.
Um, what else do we have on her?
She's 23, born in Pittsburgh,
she hasn't spoken to her family
since she dropped out of community college.
Not big on socials,
and no profiles on any of the dating apps.
That's good for her,
but she had to find a baby-daddy somewhere.
Yeah, we're serving a warrant on the adoption agency now.
His name will be on the paperwork.
What is her employment status?
She's a sales rep at The Punch,
and they make performance supplements
for athletes and bodybuilders.
Let's track her routes,
regular customers, stuff like that.
We need to be looking at the adopting father, too. David.
I mean, he didn't want us looking for Gemma.
I mean, I know his wife wants a baby,
I'm a lot less sure he does.
Maybe he didn't want a kid that's not his.
That's good. That's really good.
I mean, it's... right,
who wants a kid that's not biologically theirs, right?
- Look. I didn't mean... - [overtalking, indistinct]
I didn't, uh, I didn't read David that way at all,
but, you know, we should look at everything.
You guys, dig in. Jason, my office.
Am I in trouble for being sarcastic?
- Yeah. Good luck. - See what you did?
[door thuds]
Mike is thinking like a cop.
That's the job, in case you forgot.
I'm giving him a hard time, Nik.
- Oh. - That's it, okay?
I mean, truth be told, he is stealing my wife.
You got the invite?
Yes, I got the invite. It's good, Nik. I like it.
It's beautiful. I'm happy for you both.
Good, good, good. I just... I was a little worried.
Worried? About what? What, you think I'm not over you?
[laughing] No!
I'm relieved, okay? I don't have to pay alimony anymore, so, that's great.
You don't pay alimony, Jay. I make more than you.
That's because you forced me to take this job.
Yeah, it's a job with MPU, which makes me wonder,
why are you requesting a homicide file?
Someone used us to spring a guy so they could blow him up.
I want to know who did it.
Well, so do I, but it's not our case.
I have a brand-new boss
who is giving you the benefit of the doubt. For now.
Maybe you just want to color
and stay inside the lines for a change?
[Kemi] Knock-knock. I got something.
All right, so, the adoption agency info came in,
and the biological father is a gem.
We're talking petty theft, drug conviction,
and he works at a boxing gym that's on Gemma's sales route.
He also had a meeting this morning
with his parole officer
four blocks from where Gemma was taken.
Text me the address to the boxing gym.
I will.
[car alarm blaring]
- [music plays faintly] - [blows landing]
This place smells like a jock strap.
Yeah, that's, uh, that's soul you're smelling.
This place has a lot of history.
Got two Golden Glove champs come out of this place.
Got the third guy in line for the WBC Welterweight title.
- [man] That's all you got? - That's why he's here.
You see the guy in the corner?
You're wasting my time!
- Is that Avery Hawk? - Yes, it is.
The guy makes Don King look like a pussycat.
If you're a fighter in Philadelphia,
there's a good chance this dude owns you.
All right, Joe Rogan. I didn't realize you were such a fight fan.
Yeah! Man, I grew up on Tyson, Hagler, Hearns, Sugar Ray.
Come on, Golden Gloves. Look. Watch.
Hey, this is my move. You ready? Watch. No, just wait.
Watch out. Touch, touch, duck.
All right, all right, all right! I'll take your word for it.
Oh, oh. Come on, come on, come on.
[indistinct training din]
[Jason] Hey, Marvin!
Marvin, Marvin. Don't be anti-social. Please.
Sorry. Do I know you guys?
Philly PD. Have a seat.
I need to ask you some questions.
Yeah. Sure. Right. I'm all yours.
Good.
Okay, uh...
Gemma Stephenson.
Uh...
Why you looking at him? I know you know her, right?
You know, I can see that you know her.
Nah, look. I mean, I know her...
You know her means like, "Hi. How are you?"
I'm saying you know her, Marvin,
like, you got her pregnant.
Whoa, whoa. Well, see, the thing is--
You change your mind about giving up the baby?
Is that why you took Gemma?
No! No. No, no, no, no, no. No.
We dated, she got pregnant, she made a choice.
I was fine with it.
I am fine with it.
Okay, then, w-why are you shook?
Why are you scared?
What'd you do after you left your parole officer this morning?
Sudden urge to get the kid back?
I swear, man! Look.
I left the parole office and I Ubered right here,
and I was running late.
If I'm late, they gonna fire me,
and then my parole officer, who's on my ass, by the way,
he gonna send me right back to Frackville.
But I made it. Clocked in at 9:29,
and I been here ever since.
Okay, can you prove that?
[loudly] Hey! Hey! Guys!
I been here all day?
Yeah.
He's been here.
I know, because he spilled coffee all over my gloves.
Sorry about that. Again.
[Nikki] So we're back to square one?
No, not quite.
Whoever took her is someone who knows her,
and the answer might be on her phone.
Which we don't have,
and getting it from the carrier takes time.
I mean, usually, but I might have a workaround.
- Good. - Mm-hmm.
Julio Jones?
- Who? - Your mystery date?
Oh. Oh, no! Why would I keep that a secret?
And, honestly, why would he? I mean...
Okay. My other guess... Cory Booker.
Do I look like I like spending time in New Jersey?
No.
[quirky music]
Is there a problem?
I'm getting married.
Why would I care who Jason hangs out with?
Right, right, right, right, right. Why would you?
- I don't. - [Wayne] Nikki!
Congratulations!
I know I don't seem like much of a lace-and-bling kinda girl,
but, man, I love a wedding.
I mean, I will cry like a baby every time.
Hey...
I know what you're gonna say.
That having a convicted hacker in the office, again,
might be a bad look?
Uh, she was my idea. She's the workaround.
- Thank you. - Great.
If Gemma goes into labor before we find her,
that baby could die, so just...
Promise, I won't break any laws.
Might... bend them a teensy bit.
I can see why you two get along.
Bend, don't break.
Copy that, Captain.
See? I'm a problem-solver.
- Yeah. - [elevator bell dings]
[hushed] Braun.
If this blows up, it's on you.
Fair.
- Inspector! - Any progress with the baby?
Why don't I come downstairs and fill you in?
- It's quieter down there. - [music blasting]
Can't you just have her turn it down?
Sure. But she works faster with it on.
[Inspector Braun] Hmm.
[keys clacking]
[quirky music]
Don't worry. I have a VPN routing us out of Turks and Caicos.
Why Turks and Caicos?
Because if I can't be there, I can at least... be there.
Yes.
[beeping]
I know how Gemma was taken.
She got a text message at 9:12 a.m.
"I know you lied. Meet me in the parking garage now."
Do you know from who?
A burner. It just went live yesterday.
I can't trace it, but... check this out.
When the adoption first started,
she was calling this number, Charlotte Ravelle,
about three, four times a day.
That makes sense. They're close.
Mm-hmm, and then,
six weeks ago,
this number crops up.
There are a lot of calls.
Mm-hmm?
Back and forth.
Long... calls.
[Nikki] You're milking the moment, Wayne.
[Wayne] Yeah, 'cause it was a good moment.
Fine.
The number belonged to... a drumroll, please?
- No. - No.
A company owned by David Ravelle.
Charlotte's husband.
You think there was something going on between him and Gemma?
There was.
After Wayne found that, I did a deep dive.
Guess who wired Gemma payments of five grand
each week for the past six weeks?
What the hell was David Ravelle paying her for?
Please! You can't do this to Charlotte!
I know you don't want to hurt her!
Why'd you lock me in here?
You said there was no point to look for Gemma,
but she could go into labor at any moment,
which means the baby could die, and you don't want us to look.
You don't find that suspicious?
- That's not what I said. - Also, why do you have a burner phone?
Got a couple text messages to Gemma
that you don't want traced back to you?
I don't know what you guys think--
See, what I think is, is that you paid Gemma to disappear.
and when she didn't, you made her disappear.
Now, just I can't figure if you changed your mind
about wanting a kid,
or you didn't want the kid in the first place.
I think he definitely wanted the kid.
I have an adopted daughter.
When Sid was coming, I was a little panicked.
I didn't have nine months to prepare.
I had one week to cram,
so, books like this, I bought 'em all, read 'em all,
dog-eared the pages.
Yes, I paid Gemma,
but not to leave.
When the last adoption fell through,
Charlotte didn't get out of bed. She wouldn't eat.
Being a mother's all she ever wanted.
So, I paid to make sure that Gemma stayed.
Well, Pennsylvania law makes it illegal to pay for babies.
- You know that. - Of course.
So we did everything that we were allowed to do.
We paid for medical expenses,
supplements, counseling, but...
all I could think was that
if Gemma changed her mind,
Charlotte would just...
die.
Literally.
So, I sweetened the pot, without telling Charlotte.
All I wanted was for Charlotte to be happy.
[text notification rings]
What? Is it her?
Is it Gemma?
[Jason] It's a ransom note, and whoever it is,
they don't want the baby, they want $100,000.
[Mike] Looks like you gave somebody the idea
that you'd pay anything for a newborn.
We are pursuing every means we have to find Gemma.
We... We talked to her work,
we're looking at every point of contact.
This has to be someone that knew her well enough
to know about the adoption.
I just need to know.
If we pay the ransom, will they release her?
Ransom demands are always a gamble.
They're counting on your emotions,
that you're willing to do anything.
I will do anything.
[Nikki] I know.
And I say this as an adoptive mother, Charlotte.
Most times, if the ransom is paid,
the subject is released,
but you are being asked to pay ransom for a baby that isn't yours.
Pennsylvania law
allows the birth mother 30 days from birth
to change her mind.
So you could pay and wind up with nothing.
Then they'd release Gemma?
Maybe.
But that doesn't mean you get the baby.
Gemma's not gonna change her mind.
It's not her behind this. I know it. So do you.
The SOS at the diner.
She's just telling us what we need to consider.
There's nothing to consider.
We saved for this baby, we put money aside.
We can do this. We have to.
We can't.
I spent the money. I paid Gemma $30,000.
What are you saying?
So that she would go through with it.
- She was going through with it! - She took the money, Char.
[Charlotte] What was she supposed to do?
She's a kid! She's got nothing.
You thought we had to bribe her?
We did it the right way the first time.
Look where that got us!
Hey, hey. I know that this is difficult,
but right now,
we need to discuss how you'd like to respond
when they set conditions for the ransom drop.
We'll find the money.
We have to.
Because...
I'm not doing this just to get Isabel.
I'm doing it for Gemma.
What she's done,
it saved my life.
And now we have to save hers.
- Detective Grant. - Hey.
Hollis Braun.
- Good to see ya. - You got a minute?
Yeah, I'm on my way out. Can we talk on the way down?
- Sure. - Great.
All right.
How... How can I help?
- It's more how I can help you. - Mm?
More specifically,
how I can help you help Captain Batista.
She's doing good work here.
There's only one thing standing in her way,
and that's you.
- I'm standing in her way? - I get it.
Where you used to work, cutting corners, going rogue...
that was rewarded.
Here? It's a problem.
Is this 'cause I asked about that file?
It's about you doing things
that reflect badly on your team.
I get it. Nikki's your ex.
Maybe... Maybe she doesn't feel like she can tell you.
So I will.
What you're doing is hurting her standing.
And if that doesn't change, we will have to make it change.
[tense music]
Uh, I'm... I'm sorry.
I asked about a file. Th... That's all.
"That's all"?
You mean, there isn't
a convicted computer hacker upstairs
doing things our department would never allow?
We all want Captain Batista to succeed, Detective Grant.
Just try staying in your lane.
[ominous music]
Gemma's job is a bust.
No real friends,
no real enemies,
and I've run through all of the places
that she delivered supplements to.
No one stands out.
Same with the phone.
All of the blocked numbers are standard.
You've got spam, bill collectors.
The usual garbage.
Wait a minute.
Oh, I like the sound of that.
Hmm. The payments that David made to her...
I'm in Gemma's account.
So, before those payments,
on the day that she signed the adoption paperwork,
there's a $1,000 payment, outgoing, to Marvin Donald,
the baby-daddy.
And why is she paying him?
I don't know.
I had his stuff up earlier,
but I dropped it when he alibied out.
[keys clacking]
You got something?
Oh, Marvin...
you sweet little liar.
Told you guys. I got an alibi.
You also told us that you were the baby's father.
I am the baby's father.
Marvin, listen to me, okay?
My boss is riding me, her boss is riding her.
- I'm in no mood. Okay? - Okay, look.
Turns out, when Gemma got pregnant,
you were in Indiana, for a month.
And then you come back, and she gave you $1,000.
I don't understand what that's for.
Is that to buy a lie or what?
Look, I couldn't tell you. All right?
I just wanted to see my mom in Terre Haute,
so I told my PO I had Covid,
so we could do our check-ins by phone.
Okay, so that was one lie,
you being the father was another.
You keep racking up the lies.
Okay, if you want us to help you,
you gotta help us, you gotta be honest with us.
That's it. It's easy.
Okay, look.
I just felt bad for her.
All right? She's trying to do the right thing,
and she just needed somebody to sign
so she could give up the baby,
and she couldn't tell the real father.
- Why? - He scared her.
I mean, she said he was violent.
Okay, so who's the violent guy?
She wouldn't say.
But she started wearing one of them jackets from the gym.
You know, the ones with the tiger logo on it?
So my money, it's gotta be one of them boxers.
[boxers grunting under blows]
So who's the best?
I-It's obvious.
Creed, obviously, is the best.
Adonis or Apollo?
A... Apollo!
Apollo, okay? He beat Rocky twice.
No, no, no, no, no! That first fight was a split decision. Okay?
And if you ask me, it was fixed.
Rocky won both of those fights.
[sparring continues]
Okay, I disagree, but... so, then, who do you like?
Do you like Drago? You like Clubber Lang?
Adonis!
He studied his dad, he was coached by Rocky.
It's a perfect combination.
In what world does Michael B. Jordan beat up Carl Weathers?
It doesn't happen!
- Why you making it personal with the actors? - Watch Rocky I!
- That's my opinion. - That's your opinion.
[snapping] What?
I'm talking here!
- Go ahead. - Here's the list.
Everybody that bought a jacket,
but don't let 'em know it came from me.
Okay. Can I tell you something?
Don't sneak up on people like that.
Now, go away, please. You've done enough.
So what do we do? Pull everybody on the list, one by one?
Yeah, let's do that, Mike, 'cause we got all day.
Come on! We got a baby to think about.
[training din and ruckus]
[clanging]
[man] You can't ring the bell!
Excuse me!
If I could have everybody's attention, please?
Philadelphia PD. Um...
one of you fine, young pugilists
got the supplement delivery girl pregnant,
and we need to know who you are.
You arresting people for sex now?
No, but you're very funny.
You should try stand-up,
'cause your boxing is atrocious.
Anyway, like I said, someone's gotta fess up,
otherwise we're gonna have to shut down training for the rest of the day.
And since four of you are on the main card tonight,
that's gonna suck, all right,
so I'm gonna pass this photo around.
Just need one of you to man up and own it.
Come on, guys, like he said, sex is not a crime.
It's just sex. It's not illegal.
Just need to know who you are.
You got a name?
Dante D'Andrea. Yep, he's on the list.
- Oh, look at that. - What list?
Tell us about you and Gemma.
Was that her name?
I mean, I've seen her, but, yeah, I don't know her.
All right, I really hope you're a better boxer than you are a liar.
I think... I think that this might be the guy.
Gemma said that he was, like, a bully,
like one of those insecure, wannabe tough guys.
Said she never even really liked him,
that he had like a, um... uh...
the sex was terrible, right?
Total waste of time kinda thing.
[Jason] Assaulting an officer.
Mike, what do you get for that, two years?
No, it's actually up to 40.
Forty years! 40 years.
Brother, I can help you, but you gotta help me.
You gotta start talking. Okay?
All right, look, I went out with Gemma,
but I didn't know she got pregnant.
Then I saw the alert, so yeah, I did the math,
and I wondered.
I mean, that's why I didn't say anything.
I knew what you'd think.
Let me... Let me tell you what I think. Okay?
I think you texted her this morning.
We saw the text.
Okay?
She lied about something, right?
Then you told her to come meet you,
and then you took her. That's what I think.
Now you're looking for a quick payday, right?
I didn't text anyone, and I don't need the money.
I won my last three fights.
I win again tonight, I'm gonna be flush.
Just... I wouldn't risk that.
Th-This is all I have left to offer. Okay?
You tell us where Gemma is right now, right now,
and when you get out, you will fight again.
I'll make that happen. You have my word.
What's it gonna be, Dante?
Look, you wanna know if I'm the dad?
Yeah, I probably am.
But I didn't text her,
and last I checked, getting someone pregnant,
it ain't illegal.
So, look, I'm sorry I hit you, I am,
but, uh, I'm not the guy.
Okay, all right.
We had nothing to hold him on.
I mean, at least we got to search his place.
Yeah, which got us nothing.
Well, no, we know Gemma's not there.
You're just mad 'cause you got hit.
You got me hit!
It's not my fault your reflexes are slow.
Whatever, you were blocking my view.
Hey, let me ask you a question.
Do you think Nikki knows
that her next marriage is gonna be a downgrade?
Athletically speaking, I mean?
- Are you done? - Yeah. [laughing]
- [Jason] Hey, Nik. - What happened to you?
- Nothing. It was an accident. - He forgot to duck.
- You found the baby's father? - Yes.
His name is Dante D'Andrea.
We searched his place, couldn't find anything.
You searched his place, based on what?
Tell me you had probable cause.
Probable... he hit Mike in the face!
Which seems, you know, probable.
And-And he's probably the guy.
Look, I know it was questionable,
but we're running out of time.
Yeah, no kidding.
The ransom drop is set at the boxing match tonight.
Charlotte makes the drop.
Okay, and he's on the card. He will be there.
It's gonna be fine. We'll nail him.
Yeah, we better, 'cause according to the fetal monitor,
the baby's heart rate is dropping.
If we don't find Gemma tonight, it may be too late.
Okay, we got it.
[suspenseful music]
- [blow lands] - [groaning]
You trying to hide from me, Dante? Huh?
I'm not hiding from you. I know I can't hide from you.
Yeah. You damn right.
I don't even know what you're doing here.
You ain't getting in the ring tonight.
This is my event, and I'm letting you know,
it's over for you in Philly.
- All right, look, I know I messed up. -"Messed up"?
Like it was an accident?
All you had to do was lose a fight, man.
Instead, you beat my guy into a coma.
You know how much time and money I put into Kwan?
That was instinct.
Nah, man, it was stupid.
We had a deal.
Man, you knew I was betting on the other side!
I know, and I-I have a plan.
I'm gonna pay you back, every penny. Tonight.
You ain't making 100 grand on that fight.
Nah. I'll pay you before the fight even starts.
I swear. I just...
I need you to keep me on the card, please.
Hey, whoa!
You kill me now, and you get nothing.
[door opening]
Look, I have a plan.
No, no, it's good, Gem.
Look, I pay Hawk, he won't come after me.
I-I... he gets his money, and I'm gone,
I find another city, another name.
I know we're no good for each other, Gem, but I care about you, I do.
- I just... I didn't have a choice. - You did have a choice!
I told you, no!
These are good people.
Just a couple more of hours, that's all I need.
I don't have a couple of hours, Dante!
My water broke.
The baby is coming,
and if I'm not in a hospital right now,
she is going to die.
You don't want that! She's your baby!
Look, I-I'll call 911 the second it's done. Just...
If I let you go now, I'm dead, so, please, just hold on.
Okay? Just a little bit longer.
If Dante is our guy, and I'm telling you he is,
you gotta know what we're dealing with.
I was able to track down Dante's last fight.
Someone posted it here.
[Mike] His opponent was Kwan Ju-Won.
It was supposed to be a tune-up for Kwan,
but watch what happens.
[blows thudding]
[battering continues]
- [bell clanging] - [pounding]
[indistinct shouting]
Ugh.
I can understand why Gemma was scared.
That was two weeks ago. Kwan's still in a coma.
Notify everyone covering the fight.
Approach with caution.
I have the schematics of the arena.
All right.
Let's go over the plan.
As soon as the first fight starts,
Charlotte puts the cash in a duffel bag
and walks into the arena.
No police anywhere in sight.
Mike and Jason are in the security room.
We'll have eyes on the money,
eyes on Dante, eyes on everything.
Charlotte puts the ransom into a firebox
when no one's looking,
then walks away.
We've got uniform backup.
And we have our secret weapon.
The kidnapper will take the money,
and we won't take down the guy until he leads us to Gemma,
because the bag is wired.
He's gonna use the crowd as a diversion.
So what? We follow the money.
He's got his robe on, he's taped up,
his fight's not for another hour.
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
Look at the way that robe's sitting on him.
He's a lightweight, now he looks like a heavyweight.
What, you don't think he's gonna make weight?
No. I think we just got played. Come on.
Hey. What are you doing?
Kemi's on the tracker, the money hasn't moved.
The money has moved.
He wasn't just taping his hands,
he was taping the money to his body.
That's why he looked big.
The suspect's name is Dante D'Andrea.
He's in the building. We need eyes on him immediately.
It's a false back.
He got the money from the other side.
Hey, Kemi, what's on the other side of this firebox wall?
A service corridor.
One way leads to the east stairwell,
the other to the lower concourse.
All right. Lower concourse. Let's split up.
[indistinct background chatter]
Dante never intended to fight.
The whole thing was a diversion.
Bring the security feed back up.
[Kemi] Yeah.
Charlotte, there!
[Nikki] All uniforms, be aware you have a civilian heading
toward the service corridor.
White female, late-30s, wearing a plaid scarf.
I got him! He's in the lower concourse.
I'm on it.
[Kemi] Wait!
He just spotted the uniforms at the northwest exit.
He's heading back towards Mike.
- Yeah, I'm here. I don't see him. - [footsteps]
Police! Dante, freeze!
I got him! He's going east.
I'm coming from the other side.
[tense music]
He's in the supply room. East corridor.
[Jason] Hey, hey.
Dante! Hey!
Right there!
- Just let me walk away. - Don't move.
- Where is she? - Charlotte--
- No, no, no, no, no! Hey! - Hands up!
Hey, listen to me.
Let's just talk. Let her go and we'll talk.
I can't do that.
Dante, hey, listen to me. We can help you. Okay?
That's the woman who's gonna raise your kid.
- She doesn't deserve to get hurt. - All right, shut up!
Back off! Up against the wall! I'm walking through that door.
Okay, okay.
Guns down!
Put 'em down! Kick 'em away! Both of you.
Just stay still. I ain't gonna hurt you. Okay?
- Relax. You're good. - Take it easy.
I didn't want any of this. I swear, I just...
I'm gonna let you go, okay?
As soon as I get to that door.
[gunshot rings out]
[Mike] Hey. Hey. You okay?
[Charlotte] Yeah.
Hey, Dante. Hey! Dante. Stick with me.
Hey, get a medic in here right now!
- We're not getting anything from him. - Come on.
He's the only one who knows where Gemma is.
- Geez. - Hey, buddy! Aw, man.
[alarm ringing]
- [Charlotte] Oh, my God! - What is it?
The fetal alarm just went off.
Doctor says Gemma's in labor.
[tense music]
Hey, we found his car.
Any idea where he's holding her?
Uh, nothing we can see.
What about what you can't see?
- You wanna elaborate on that? - Get me the VIN.
- All right. - You got it?
Yeah.
Here you go.
VIN coming at you right now.
[text chimes]
Gimme that... please.
- Yeah, of course. - Thanks.
Cars these days are like smartphones on wheels.
- Okay. - The data they collect uploads automatically
to places you do not wanna know about.
So, you're getting the location data?
Uh, I'd have to hack OnStar for that,
and they have upped their game, um, but I have a workaround.
Everywhere that the car has parked since Gemma was taken.
Thankfully, the parking cam saves the data.
All right,
so that's Barella's. You can lose that one.
The OB's office, where he got to Gemma, not that.
Okay, and that's the diner. What comes next?
I don't know where that is.
Neither do I, but the car comes back here
right after Jason and Mike talked to Dante.
Can you pull an address off that thing?
Oh, no, now you are asking for miracles.
Oh, baby, I do miracles. Send me the image.
[transmission chimes]
All right. Let's get it up here.
[keys clacking]
Let me enhance that.
Take a look at that sign in the background.
Is that Korean?
[Nikki] Maybe. How does that help?
Kwan, the boxer that Dante put into a coma,
he lives in Koreatown.
He's still in the hospital.
Dante would've known his apartment was empty.
Get me his address! Good job.
- Nice work. - Thanks.
[Jason] Good place to keep a hostage.
All right, watch out.
- All right, get out of the way. - What are you doing?
What do you mean, what am I doing?
I'm gonna shoot off the door hinge.
Oh, yeah. Good idea. With a pregnant woman and possibly a baby inside.
What are you, outta your mind?
Watch out.
Proud of yourself?
My way would've worked too. Go! Go, go, go. Come on!
[crying out in pain]
Hey, Gemma, Gemma.
Hey, you're gonna be okay. All right?
- The baby! - It's all right.
Nikki, we're in.
This thing's definitely happening right now.
We've got the doctor on the way, we sent a car for her.
I know. I know, I know. Okay. Keep breathing.
Look at me, look at me. You're gonna be fine. All right? You're okay.
Okay, give me some room!
Gemma.
I'm here. I'm here.
- I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! I'm so... - It's okay.
There's no time for an ambulance.
We're doing this now.
[screaming through pain]
[tense music]
[door opens]
You should come inside.
[gentle music]
Thank you, Hana.
She cleared the cord just in time.
Would you like to hold your daughter?
Thank you, Gemma.
[playing gentle tune]
- [plays final keys] - [Nikki chuckling]
Here.
Thank you.
You must have loved
watching her hold that baby today.
Yeah, it was pretty incredible.
Yeah?
Well, I remember the first time I held Sidney.
We brought her home and, uh, she was so scared.
[chuckles]
I wrapped her in my arms.
It calmed her, sure, but...
it changed me.
It changed everything.
Now Keith is gone, and Sid's away.
I miss it.
I know.
I know. It's okay.
I-I know that that's the cycle, you know?
But I miss it.
That's the thing about cycles.
There's always a chance for new ones.
I know we never, uh, settled on it.
You know, we had the whole chaos with Keith,
and, you know, that was enough, but...
you know, maybe we should consider it.
Do we start down that path?
Start our own cycle?
I don't know.
Maybe...
we start with the wedding,
and then,
then we go from there.
Okay.
Good.
[gentle music]
Is it wrong for me to want somebody else to get taken tomorrow?
Yes, that is very wrong.
Yeah. Yeah, well, I had fun today.
One hell of a date.
I mean, call it whatever you want,
but next time you want to see me,
you could just ask.
Sorry. I'm not into bondage.
Can you sit down, please?
- So bossy! - Yeah.
Thank you.
You know, you could leave it loose. I won't tell anyone.
You were not this much of a handful in Kandahar.
Yeah, well, you were married and I was on my best behavior.
Right.
I should go.
[clicks tongue]
I really gotta go now. It's good to see you.
Hey, uh, what about that car bomb file?
Look, you were right.
I clearly have cabin fever.
Okay. Here's what's going on with the car bombing file.
Okay? Our new boss is, um... a handful.
He was mad that you were in the office again today.
Nikki asked me to stand down,
so that's what I'm doing, I'm standing down.
Hmm.
Dude, she is marrying another guy.
What the hell is that supposed to mean?
It means that the Jason that I knew
would never let a boss stand in the way.
Okay, you win. Go ahead.
Thank you.
You're gonna need a username and a passcode to get into--
- Honey, I'm already in. - Okay.
Look, I spent the entire day at MPU.
It's a force of habit.
You have a case number?
Yeah, it's, um, Hotel-Oscar...
Monster...
26984.
What?
It was the file,
but as soon as I opened it, it triggered a virus.
The file is whitelisted.
If your IP's not on that list, it poison pills.
There is somebody
that really doesn't want you seeing that file.
Okay, one other person other than Nikki
told me to stand down.
It's the Inspector.
Mm-hmm.
What does Hollis Braun not want me to see?
[upbeat music]
