at a line of people,

and then you're just
gonna point to the lady

that you saw at your house.

They cannot see you,

and it is gonna go really fast.

Is that okay?

Yeah.

Okay.

- If we're waiting all day,

can I at least get a water

Hey, hey, look at me.
You're okay.

You're okay.
Shut the door.

Hey, take a deep breath.

We'll just go check on her
in a little bit.

Kid's all right.

She's with Platt
and a paramedic now.

- Okay, give her a few hours.
Try again.

- Or we resort
to a photo lineup.

- No, I'm not putting her
through that.

I'm not putting her
through any of that.

If there's a chance
it's not good for her,

we don't do it.

- Okay, so what's the play?

'Cause we got zero leads
on Tariq.

Barely got a murder case
on Nia, and she knows it.

- Nia doesn't know if Makayla's
behind the glass or not.

- So you wanna do
a lineup anyway.

- Yeah, I'll lie my ass off.

- Okay.

Just...

make it as airtight as you can.

- The witness ID'd you
from the lineup.

They saw you enter
the Ward home,

exit the Ward home,
and proceed into the backyard,

where you were heard
calling a young girl's name:

Makayla.

From the DNA
they swabbed from you,

they matched half a dozen
samples inside the Ward home,

including on the body
of one of the victims.

They are still
running your SUV,

but they were able to confirm
two traces of blood

not visible to the naked eye:

one on the driver's mat

and the other
on the passenger seat.

This is quite a lot
of evidence, Nia,

more than we hoped for,

so it won't matter
if you shot anyone yourself.

You were there.
You participated.

You will be charged
one count of home invasion,

two counts attempted
aggravated kidnapping,

and three counts of murder.

So this right here, you and me,

it's gonna be your only chance
to help yourself.

I need you to tell me
where Tariq is.

- [chuckles]

- Six counts, Nia.

These are charges
you do not walk back.

Where is he?

- Bitch, I don't believe you.

- You don't believe what?

- She's gonna keep going.

- That this
is your last chance?

You understand, right?

I walk out that door,
the ball rolls on from here.

You understand that?

- Guess I should call
my lawyer, then, huh?

- Yeah, sure.

Call your lawyer.

See, the truth is, Nia,

I don't need your cooperation.

I came in here
'cause I was obligated to.

And I sure as hell was hoping

I wouldn't have to give you
a damn thing...

bitch.

Hey, Fernandez?

Patrol officer
will be here soon.

He'll take you to booking.
You can call your lawyer there.

I'm guessing you'll be
transferred out of state

in the morning.
- Out of state?

- Mm, Indiana.

Claudia Ward, the grandmother,
she was a postal worker.

- Is that true?
- No.

- What the hell
does that matter?

- She's a federal employee.

You kill a federal employee,

the government
picks up the case.

Federal charges.

You'll be transferred
to Terre Haute.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa.

I know Terre Haute.

Don't they have death row
at Terre Haute?

- They do.

I told you the charges, Nia.

you were going?
