The civic mayoral election is
shaping up to be a close one.

Rita Gallo is currently polling
at 36 percent,

which is up 11 points
since July.

Now if this trend continues,
she will be the likely winner

of this election, and she will
be the first female mayor

in our city's history.

We will find out if history will
be made in seven days' time.

[door bells jingle]

Hey, David.

Hey.

Where is everyone?

Out on a sign blitz what
can we do for you?

You can't do anything for me.

I'm here to grab a bite
with my mother.

Not a good time.

Never is.

You don't understand
it's E minus seven,

every minute of this week
is accounted for.

Well, take it up with the boss.
She invited me.

So, what's the candidate's
position on the new steakhouse?

[sighs]

Sounds good.

If we can get a table
with some privacy.

How's the speech coming along?

So well she's taking a break.

Breaks come after the election.

We'll make it quick.

You're working her too hard.
Let the woman eat.

Rita wants to win.

I'm paid a lot of money
to make that happen.

Remember how Dad used to say

"When everyone tells you
to go right,

"but your gut says go left,
you go left?"

I need to finish this.

I... I should have called
to cancel.

I'll make her a sandwich myself,
I promise.

That makes me feel
so much better.

So, where are we at?

Okay, I was thinking we should
start with this.

Our city is a great one.

But it can be better.

A city of justice and equality.

I've devoted my life to...

Rita.

Sorry, there's a detective here
with some questions

about the death threats?

Oh, I already talked to
an officer about this yesterday.

Um, can you handle it?

Yeah, no problem.

Um... Oh, uh, you are
the target.

I need to talk to you.

Okay, um...
Made more changes.

Great. Come on in.

Thanks.

[sighs]

I've been getting death threats
my whole career.

And if I took scare
tactics seriously,

I'd never leave the house.

Yeah, you'd feel like
a prisoner.

Do you know why so many people
want you dead?

Pardon me?

Well, you must be saying
or doing something

to make everybody hate you
so much.

I didn't ask for your
identification, Detective.

Would you mind?

Ah, not at all.

[gun cocks]

How's that for ID?

Have we met?

Uh-huh.

It's been a while.

I'm going to do everything
I can

situation safely.

Thank you. Call me Kate.

I understand you saw
the hostage taker?

I need a description.
Come with me.

White male, 50s.

Clean shaven, grey hair.

Approximately 5 foot 7,

I saw him holding David Johnson

The layout of the office?

Large main room with two smaller
offices in the back.

Get me a map of the layout
of the building.

You want anything?

Water, coffee, something to eat?

Just my mom.

This is her cell phone number.

Appreciate it.

Any idea who may have been
making death threats to Rita?

Death threats?

She never said anything
about that.

Um, she prosecuted
a lot of cases

when she was in the Attorney
General's office.

Put away a lot of bad guys.

[phone notification]

What is this guy's game?

It's proof of life.

He's setting us up
to negotiate.

What can I do to help?

Just sit tight for now.

We're doing everything we can
to get your mom out safe.

Sit down.

- Sir, this is for you.
- Thanks.

Last question.

[phone continues to rings]

Are you gonna kill me?

♪

If you recognized me,

you wouldn't have to ask
that question.

I guess I didn't make a good
enough impression on ya.

I'll do much better this time.

Good evening.

We begin with breaking news.

There is a major police presence

outside of the campaign offices
of Rita Gallo.

There are several police and
emergency vehicles present

on scene.

There are not a lot of
details yet,

but we are being told that
a police spokesperson

will be updating us shortly.

How are you holding up?

I'm fine.

We've assigned the City's top
negotiator. I know Cole Solomon.

He's the best of the best.

The emergency response team
is developing

a list of recent parolees
for potential suspects,

and cross-referencing it
with all of Rita's convictions.

I'm gonna continue to liaise
with his team.

Anything you need from me?

Support your partner.

Let's get another sniper
on the roof.

Yes, sir.

Meg's heading into the office
to help out.

Her wife can't be too happy
about a late night

at the office.

She got a free pass,
just this one time.

Special circumstances.

We have all of these
locked down.

It's me you have
a problem with.

Let David go.

Why are you acting like
you're in charge?

Huh?

Who's in charge, Rita?

You are.

What's that?!!

You're in charge.

Why do I feel like I gotta
prove myself to you?

You don't have to prove
anything to me.

I wish I believed you.

[gun cocks]

[muffled grunts]

Why isn't ERT going in?

They know what they're doing.

Some nut job's in there
with a gun and my mom.

They're the experts.

They're our best chance at
getting her out of there alive.

I need to move.

What are you doing?

[muffled grunting]

Stand up.

[muffled yells]

Get down on your knees.

[muffled yells]

[gun fires]

Kate, Kate, Kate!
Wait, wait.

...ERT hold. Don't move in yet.
Hold your positions.

Zulu 14 what is happening
in there?

Zulu 14, VCB no movement inside.

Stand by to move in.

We don't know anything yet.
Hold tight.

It's my call, and we stick
to protocol.

Cole, we storm in that door,
more people could die.

We both know that.

ERT hold fast. We are going
to work this out.

From now on, you follow
my lead.

Yeah. Meg, what do you got?

I'll ensure the log reflects
that ERT is to hold.

Copy that.

Thanks.

No problem.

Okay. Ensure the log reflects
that Commander Solomon

has told ERT to hold their
positions at this time.

Is she all right?

She thinks her mother was shot.

We need her on her game.

Why aren't you going in?

We haven't got
enough information yet.

I won't jeopardize
the hostages' lives.

Any decisions you make,
any tactics you're taking,

you inform me,
not my partner.

Understood.

Have you established contact
with the hostage taker?

He's not responding.

I'll keep you in the loop.

I want to know everything
as soon as you do.

What did you do?

Did you shoot David?

Tell me you didn't shoot him.

What do you figure's
your best side?

Right or left?

[whispers]
Please...

[gasps]

Get up. Come on.

David!

David?

No...

Why are you doing this?

Just tell me what you want.

Admit there was a conspiracy
to convict me,

and that you helped to fake
evidence against me.

I had nothing to do with that.

So you do remember
prosecuting me?

Then, say my name.

Alcott.

Grant Alcott.

Yeah, that's better.

Do you remember what you told
the jury about me?

No.

You told 'em I was the worst
kind of criminal ever.

I was irredeemable.

I'll take your word for it.

Now, there's the lawyer
I remember.

This is the building
in question.

Police have drawn their guns,

and surrounded the building

This after receiving calls
of a possible hostage situation

involving a gunman inside the
campaign offices of Rita Gallo.

This situation is
still developing.

If she'd just come to dinner...

Don't do that.

What?

Look back.

There's nothing for you there.

Gotta keep moving forward.

Pfft.

Great philosophy.

Works for me.

Does it?

Yeah.

My marriage is falling apart

and I haven't talked to my dad
in 10 years.

[laughs weakly]

You know I never gave her
a chance after the divorce.

Always took my dad's side,
no matter what she said or did.

You were a kid.

I was 18.

Zulu 14, movement one side!

We've got movement.
Go, go, go!!!

I've got a visual on Rita Gallo.

She is holding a sign
that says "David Is Dead."

At least we know
she's still alive.

I'll do whatever you want!

I just want to see
my daughter again.

I was wondering how long
it would be

till you played that card.

I'm not playing a card.
She already lost her father.

Yeah, I heard about that.
Detective Anthony Jameson.

Shot and killed on the job.

Tch, karma's a bitch.

And then you used his death
to promote your campaign.

And you pimped out
your kid too,

who's probably standing
out there right now,

wondering what's going on
in here.

Leave her out of this.

You wanna talk to her?

No.

Kate.

Here's a list of your
mother's convictions

and recent parolees
with a history of violence.

Study it. See if any of
these names look familiar,

or if your mother's ever
mentioned them before.

[phone vibrates]

Cole?

It's a call
from my mom's phone.

Don't make any promises.

If you get stuck,
I can jump in.

Go ahead.

Answer it.

Mom?

Is this Detective Kate Jameson?

Yes, who is this?

You're gonna have to come
in here and find out.

There's a little family business
to discuss.

Don't even think about it.

Whoever he is, he knows
who you are.

Hostage takers ask for police

because they're itching
to kill a cop.

So I'm just supposed to leave
my mom in there with him?

Go back to the list.

See if any of those names
mean something.

We find out who he is, we figure
out how to appeal to him.

That makes my job
a whole lot easier.

[Newscaster] Police
are responding to a hostage situation.

According to reports,

an armed man is holding
two people hostage.

This police incident is
described as active.

Witnesses reporting that
gunshots have been fired,

but there are no
confirmed reports

of injuries at this time.

Nothin'?

No, I don't recognize
any of these names.

What do you need?

I could use another coffee.

Just this once.

Really?

Get me...

Large Americano.
Room for milk.

Where's my mother?

I want to see my mother.

Well, that's too bad.

Come here.

You wanted me to come in,
so here I am.

Where is she?

Sit down.

Come here.

Other one.

[grunts]

Kate has compromised
the whole operation.

A guy like that wants
to kill a cop.

Look, her dad, and her first
homicide partner,

both died on the job.

She wants to go out
like they did?

She'll be damned if she lets
her mother die the same way.

She left her phone behind.

Were you in on this?

Will it make a difference
if I had been?

Detective Meg Harris narrowed
down the suspect list to

three guys who were just paroled
in the last three months.

Grant Alcott, Joe Franklin,
Luke Beaudin.

All three of them
were prosecuted by Rita.

All three did time for murder.

Cruisers are out on bed check.

Guys like that fantasize
about evening the score.

The worst of them do it.

We've already
got one fatality.

It's time to take care of
a little family business, all right?

Sit down.

[phone rings]

Who is this guy?

Grant Alcott.

I prosecuted him 10 years ago
for killing his wife.

I'm gonna get you out of here.

Yeah.

It's Cole Solomon.

I'm the chief negotiator.

Who am I speaking with?

Did you tell her?

Go ahead. You're on.

I want to hear you say my name.
Do it.

Uh, Cole, this is Kate speaking.

I'm in here with my mom
and Grant Alcott.

Thanks, Kate.

Grant, I want to help you.
What can I do?

Inform the media that there's
going to be a livestream

in 30 minutes with Rita Gallo
on her campaign website.

Rita has an important
announcement to make.

Grant Alcott.

AJ and Huntley were the
arresting officers in this case.

AJ charged him,
Rita convicted him.

Sounds like a motive.

Learn that.

You're gonna make
a public statement

about how you put me away
using false evidence.

I'm not doin' that.

[gun cocks]

Aren't you?

Okay.

Okay, I'll do it.

Yeah, I thought so.

What do you hope to accomplish?

Kate!

No, it's a fair question.

I want her to publicly admit

that she was part of a
conspiracy to convict me.

What good will that do you
if it's said under duress?

It's still true.

Uniform searched
Grant Alcott's place,

and there were news clippings
about Rita's campaign.

Meg found a dozen fake
social media sites

where he was sending
the death threats from.

He's been planning
this for weeks.

An angry ex-con looking
to settle the score.

Turns out he stabbed
his wife to death,

did 10 years.

A real piece of garbage.

Yeah, his 12-year-old daughter
was at a sleepover that night.

Now, he told police
that when he got home,

he found his wife dead
on the kitchen floor,

and there was a bloody knife
recovered at the scene.

My detective, Meg Harris,

tracked Alcott's daughter,
Eden, down.

She said that Alcott left a
voicemail earlier in the week,

it sounded like
some kind of goodbye.

Any other insight
into this guy?

Kate's father, AJ, was
the arresting officer.

Her mother put him away.

You gotta be kidding me.

A psychological profile
from Alcott's trial

said that he was controlling,
you know, insecure,

with an explosive temper.

Neighbour said he doted
over the kid,

not so much the wife.

Neighbours also said
they heard them arguing

on the night of the murder.

Our best chance of reaching him
is Eden.

Get me Meg Harris on the phone.
We need to talk to the daughter.

Who found the murder weapon?

I don't remember the details
of your case.

You locked me up for 10 years,

you can't remember how
you got that conviction?

It was a long time ago.

Who tampered with the evidence?

I don't recall that anyone did.

The police did!

They tampered with the evidence,

and you used that tainted
evidence to convict me,

didn't ya?

I didn't know.

She...

No, no, no, no.

No!!!

Rita! You knew!

Rita?

I knew.

But I didn't find out
until after the trial.

Yet, you didn't come forward.

Why not?!

Because I was protecting
my daughter.

Finally.

The truth.

An important update now
to our breaking news story.

Rita Gallo will be making
an announcement

on her campaign website.

We are being told that
it will be live streamed

in about five minutes time.

As we wait for Gallo's
statement,

we will continue to monitor
this active hostage situation.

I do not feel good about this.

Eden, this is
the command centre.

These guys will explain
what's going on.

I know this must be very
difficult for you, Miss Alcott.

Thank you for coming down.

My last name is Khouri now,
but call me Eden.

I'm Cole Solomon, negotiator.

This is staff sergeant,
Bill Chen.

Head of the homicide unit.

Are you up to answering
a few questions?

Please.

When was your last contact
with your father?

My adoptive dad raised me.

Grant Alcott is not my father.

I understand Alcott called you
since his release.

Please have a seat.

I never picked up.

He backed off for a while,
then started up again.

I finally told him
if he kept calling,

I would get a restraining order.

Then he called from a blocked
number and left a voicemail.

I still have it.

It would be very helpful
if you played it for me.

[Alcott] Eden?

Uh, it's me again.

This is my last call,
I swear.

You're the best thing
that ever happened to me,

I just want you to know that.

Eden, there's an opportunity
to save two lives today.

You're the best chance we have.

We need you to talk to Grant.

The man killed my mother.

I'll be right there with you,
the whole time.

Right by your side.

Can I think it over?

I'm afraid not.

We're running out of time,
Eden.

I'm sorry.

[laughs coldly]
Values.

That's not the Rita Gallo
I know.

Probably not the one you know,
either.

I know her.

You think you do.

You're on.

My name is Rita Gallo.

As a former lawyer who
prosecuted many cases,

I believe in a strong criminal
justice system.

However, sometimes this justice
system fails,

especially when those in power
choose to ignore the truth.

As a member of the law society,

I have taken an oath promising
to honour and protect

the rights of the people
of this country.

I have broken this promise.

Years ago, I was involved in a
trial where mistakes were made.

I failed to speak the truth,
and remained silent

about crucial facts during
the criminal investigation

of a case I oversaw.

In their zeal to convict
Grant Alcott,

homicide detectives cut corners.

This'll blow back all over
the department.

It's time this became
public knowledge.

The fact that steps were taken
to influence the outcome

of the trial is the biggest
concern to me

as a former officer
of the court.

As a wife and a mother,

I have a more personal regret
for my behaviour.

My former husband,
Detective Anthony Jameson,

the lead investigator
on the case,

crossed an ethical line.

He stood by as his partner
relocated the murder weapon.

It is my life's biggest regret
that I did not come forward

with this information as soon
as it came to my attention.

Okay, we're ready.

[phone rings]

Everyone quiet. We need
complete silence.

[phone rings]

Eden?

Hi, Dad.

[gasps]

Hi.

Are you all right?

Yeah.

Now that I'm talking
to you, yeah.

It's so good to hear
your voice.

Such a long time, I've really
missed talking to you.

I left you messages,
did you listen to them?

Yes, Dad I have.

I've been thinking about
your voicemail, Dad.

We can work things out,
but we have to talk.

Face to face.

I can't do it,
I can't do that.

Please.

Do it for me.

Eden.

I'm really sorry
about everything.

You'll always be my father,
no matter what happened.

Come out and talk to me.

Wait... What?

Where are you?

Grant.

Grant, are you still there?

You dragged my daughter
down here?

She loves you, Grant.

She wants to work things out.

[slams laptop]

Grant. Grant.

Grant, you still there?

That's a lie.

You've been coaching her.

It's all a lie.

[panicked breathing]

This ends now.

We've lost the image,
what's happening?

Zulu 14, I've lost visual
contact.

- No movement out back.
- No movement inside.

Stand by for my order.

Copy that.

...Can't confirm suspects.

They pulled my daughter
into this.

Grant.

If you do this,
there's no turning back.

You. You're coming with me.

Think about Eden and
how this will affect her

for the rest of her life.

If you go through with this,
it'll only end one way for you.

She's lost one parent
to a violent death.

Don't make her go through
it again.

Just go and talk to her.

It's a trap.

She wouldn't have talked to you
if she didn't care.

Sit down.

Say goodbye.

I love you.

Remember what dad said
about following your gut?

I do.

[grunts]

[fighting grunts]

[gunshot]

Shots fire, lights are out.

This is bullshit,
we're going in.

- No, hold back fast.
- Visual contact broken.

No movement out back.

Hold your positions.

And get some lights back on,
now!

Copy that.

Here. Get up.
Get under the desk.

Okay.

Get under the desk.

Stay underneath the desk, don't
move until the police come.

Grant?

Come out and
you won't get hurt.

[enraged yelling]
Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!

[fighting grunts]

Zulu 14, there is movement
in the front room,

but I can't confirm who's who.

Same. No confirmation.
No movement out back.

Zulu 14, VCB that reflection
is killing us.

- Zulu 14, do you have a shot?
- Negative.

Let's walk outta here together.

There's nothing out there
for me.

That's not true.

You're tired and afraid.

You're not thinking clearly.

If you thought your father took
your mom away,

would you ever forgive him?

If he spent the rest of his life
trying to make it up to me.

But I did kill her mother.

There's nothing I can say that's
ever going to change anything.

Don't do it, Grant.

Don't do it, Grant.

Don't do it.

I knew walking in here,
I wasn't walking out.

Zulu 14, I have a clear shot. I
have the shot.

Take it. Take the shot.

No!

[gunshot]

[glass shattering]

Go, go!!!

Move in!

There he is!

Down on the ground!

Down, down!!!

All clear, suspect
is in custody.

VHS roll in.

Confirmed, suspect
is in custody.

Confirmed, suspect is
in cuffs.

You sounded upset.

I'm dropping out of the race.

What?

Mom...

I don't have it
in me anymore.

You're five points up
in the polls.

Sympathy votes, because my
campaign manager was murdered.

David would've wanted you
to win.

Yeah, well, he's not here
to share that opinion, is he?

First your father,
now David.

I can't.

I don't want it anymore.

[sighs]

My career has been
at the expense

of everything else in my life.

My marriage, friendships,
my relationship with you.

I can't let that happen again.

[sighs]

But you also can't stop being
who you are.

Your whole life has been
about public service,

about making a difference,

and now you've got a chance
to have an impact

on the whole city.

Look, the election is only
a few days away.

Let the voters decide.
