We got the guy.

- Who is it?
- Sean Kelly.

I didn't do this,
what they're saying.

TRUMAN: Taylor Yoon went to PYC?

And so did Elizabeth O'Connor.

They both had Simon
as their counselor.

He used this place as
a market to shop for girls,
and now they're dead.

MAN: Yeah, I know that girl.
She was in here with this guy,
Jimmy Scanlon.

I remember because
they were fighting really bad.

Got ahold of Scanlon's
text messages.

The last one he sent
was to a woman named Melissa.

Company that made the deposits
into Jimmy Scanlon's bank

is a subsidiary
of a Chinese consulting firm.

Why would the Chinese
consultants be paying
a sheet metal worker?

Mick, come here.

(GRUNTS)

(GRUNTS)

Gee, how long has
that window been busted?

A week ago or something.

MICKEY: Was it Kacey?

These are from our dad.

And some of these letters
are dated after he died.

MICKEY: All this time,
I was looking for her,
scared that she was dead.

And she was just hiding.

She doesn't want
to see me either.

Well, I think she does.
Probably why
she left the letters.

It wasn't about you, Mickey.
It was about Thomas.

MICKEY: What I did to her,
I did for him.

A woman from the Avenue said
that we need to be
looking at a cop.

- Well, who is she?
- Paula Mulroney.

AURA: (ON PHONE)
I think you should
come into my office.

- AURA: Looking like an OD.
- It wasn't an OD.

It's not an OD.

AURA: Do you think
Paula was murdered?

Do you think this has
something to do with
the other women who were killed?

I think there's a reason
that they're all dead.

Paula's been using for 15 years.
It could be an OD.

Yeah, well, we'll see
what the tox report says.

They didn't order one.

- What?
- I tried, Mickey,
but Ahearn shut me down.

Said they have
a pretty airtight case
against the suspect in custody.

I'm so sorry, Mick.

You stay away from me.
You're gonna get me killed.

AURA: I know
you two were close.

I know you've been going
through a lot with work,

with Kacey missing...

Kacey's not missing anymore.

Found her.

(SCOFFS)

How is she?

PAULA: She's not good, Mick.
I didn't know who else to call.

(BABY CRYING)

(CRYING CONTINUES)

Hi. Uh, ma'am,
there's no smoking in the room.

Does this look lit?

We just need
to borrow him for a bit.

(CRYING CONTINUES)

NURSE: We discussed this, ma'am.

(KACEY BREATHES HEAVILY)

Where are you taking him?

To the NICU, just to monitor him
for a little while.

For what? Monitor him for what?

I'm gonna get clean.

KACEY: I told the doctor.
He knows, all right?

Okay.

(CRYING CONTINUES)

(KACEY SOBS)

(KACEY GRUNTS)

(BABY CONTINUES CRYING OUTSIDE)

PAULA: Mick? Mickey, wait.

- Mickey, your sister needs you.
- Excuse me.

Excuse me. Excuse me.
Is he gonna be okay?

He's in withdrawal, isn't he?

(CRYING CONTINUES)

MICKEY: I was scared
of what might happen to him.

(CRY FADING)

That's why I did what I did.

That's why you thought Thomas
had been taken,
that night Bethany left.

(TRUMAN SIGHS)

- You could've told me, Mick.
- I didn't tell anybody.

I didn't want you to think
I was a terrible person.

Why would I think that, Mickey?

My boyfriend
slept with my sister.

A lot of people might think
that I took Thomas out of spite.

Did you?

Simon told me that
she had come on to him.

That he had given in to her
in a moment of weakness.

And I was in such denial
about the whole thing.

I didn't want to believe it.

I didn't want to believe her.

My own sister.

Didn't want to believe that
the man I loved preyed on her,

forced himself on her
when she was so out of it,
she couldn't consent.

But you stayed with him.

No, I ended it when I found out
she was pregnant.

I should have
believed her about that.

I just didn't believe
that she could get clean...

for him.

For Thomas.

(TRUMAN SIGHS)

(SIGHS)

Listen... I've always had
a soft spot for Kacey.

She's... she's got a good heart.

But when I watch you
with Thomas,

when I see you with the chess,

and the music, and the homework,

and the... the...
opera, YouTube,

- or whatever it is...
- Stop.

I'm serious.

You know how little it means
to have a good heart

when your kid doesn't have
food on the table?

When that kid's afraid
you may not wake up
in the morning?

I do know that. Yeah.

I've known what that's like
since I was four years old.

(MICKEY SIGHS)

Well, maybe you should've
listened to your sister.

I can't soften that for you.
And I don't think
you want me to.

But Kacey is safe now.
She can heal.

And you can heal.

What about
the rest of the women?

I can't let what happened
to Paula happen to them.

Paula said the perp was a cop,
and now she's dead.

Okay, let's go down that road.

You tell Ahearn,
she ends up dead.

Now, feelings for Ahearn aside,
that's a big accusation.

I'm not saying
Ahearn is a killer,

but if the perp is a cop,
maybe he was protecting them.

And it wasn't just that
Paula said it was a cop,
it was the way she said it.

She thought that I knew
who the cop was.

You still think it's Simon?

We only eliminated
Simon as a suspect
because Sean Kelly got arrested.

Think about it, Truman.
Two of the victims went to PYC.

Paula said the cop in question
demanded sexual favors.

I need to find out the truth.
I owe that to Paula.

And Kacey. Even Thomas.

How do you suggest we do that?

No cop in his right mind
is gonna question Simon
with the evidence we've got.

I know.

That's why I'm gonna do it.

(THEME MUSIC PLAYING)

(SIGHS DEEPLY)

Hey.

(SIGHS)

Hey.

(EXHALES) Okay.

I'll be right here.

What are you doing here?

- Look, if this is
about Thomas...
- MICKEY: It's not about Thomas.

It's about...

where you go at night.

What? You want to talk about
where I go at night? Okay. Uh...

Tell me why
that's your business.

Well, you made it my business
when you started killing women
on the Avenue.

What the fuck
are you talking about?

I saw you.
I saw you in Kensington.

I saw what you were doing
with that girl.

So you're stalking me now?
Is that it?

You know what
they've been saying, right?

They're saying
the killer is a cop
who's doing the same thing.

Y... you're nuts.

You're absolutely
fucking psychotic.

Part of why
I liked you at first.

I remember that.
I remember that,
calling me crazy.

- That's what you say
when you're...
- Get the fuck out of here.

- You know what...
- I know who you are, Simon.

I know what you're capable of.

You remember how old I was
when you met me?
When you singled me out?

I was 14.

Fourteen. How old
is that girl you got right now?

- Singled you out?
- Yeah.

Are you fucking
kidding me right now?

It was you
who was following me around.

You wouldn't leave me alone.
You came after me, Mick.

Yeah. You wanted
everything you got.

Fuck you! Fuck you!

There she is. I remember her.

Want to know
what makes me different

from whatever
sick fuck is out there
killing girls on the Avenue?

I pay for what I get.

I paid for that girl
you saw me with in Kensington.

I paid for your sister
when I fucked her.

I paid for you, too.
I gave you a home to live in.

I gave you a career.
And now I pay for Jill.

I pay for the clothes she wants.
I pay for her car.

I even paid for a trip to Salem.

You took her to Salem
on Halloween?

- Whole weekend?
- I did it. It was great.

She loved it.

- You used to love it, too.
- Huh.

I loved a lot of things
when I was 18 years old.

She's 20.

I spent so much time...

thinking I hated you.

Almost a decade of my life.

And you know what I realized?

It's not hate.

It's...

embarrassment.

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

- TRUMAN: You okay?
- Simon's not the killer.

You sure?

He was in Salem
when the first three victims
were killed.

It's not him.

- Kacey! No, pause, stop!
- (BOTH LAUGHING)

No.

(LAUGHTER CONTINUES)

Paula!

(SIGHS)

(SIGHS)

THOMAS: Are you okay?

Yeah.

Yeah, of course.

Do you not want
to go back to work?

(CHUCKLES) You know...

- I don't.
- Could you stay home?

Because a lot of the moms,
like Carlotta's mom,

she's worked from home
ever since COVID.

For most of those jobs,
you need a college degree.

Can you get a college degree?

Come on. Clear your dishes.
You're with Mrs. Mahon today.

Your face looks good.
It's almost normal again.

Thanks, buddy.

That's a real...

confidence booster.

Anytime.

(CHUCKLES)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Mickey. Hey. I heard
about what happened to you.
How are you feeling?

- Fine. I'm better.
- Good.

Well, Ahearn said
you didn't get a good look
at the guy who did this.

Well, it's good
to have you back.

- Yeah.
- Hey, Davis.

Did you hear about
Paula Mulroney?

No. Who's that?

Come on. Why don't we
step into my office?

Um...

Paula Mulroney died...

on... Christmas Day.

She was my sister's best friend.

She was family.

She grew up in Kensington.
She worked the Ave.,
and she looked tough.

But...

she wasn't, not on the inside.

And she came in as an overdose.

- Like the other women.
- Yeah.

Was it insulin?

I don't know.

There was no autopsy ordered.

If we could find out
for her family,

if you could find out for me.

Of course,
I'll call the ME right away.

- Thank you.
- Yeah.

Mickey, I'm...
I'm sorry about Paula.

Me, too.

Thanks.

Hey, Sean Kelly was in custody
when she died.

I know.

DIPAOLO: Ahearn's not a killer.

He's a dipshit with a complex,
but a murderer?
I can't get there.

What if he's covering for one?

Mickey names Paula Mulroney
as someone to identify
a dirty cop.

Paula then dies.

Yeah, she ODs.

Yeah, all the
murdered women ODed?

Look, he may still be out there.

Unless your guy killed her
from behind bars.

- I mean, I'll poke around.
- Thank you.

But I gotta ask.
This for you or for her?

Both, I guess. Does it matter?

- Look, we've been friends
a long time.
- Yeah.

So I'm gonna say something.

I don't know
if you're sleeping
with this girl or what.

- Mike, we're not doing this.
- We are doing this.

First, you come to me
about Simon Cleare
being the perp,

and now you're asking questions
about Kevin Ahearn.

To my mind,
we already got the guy.

Now you're a pretty solid cop.
But you're not
behaving that way.

And this girl
feels like the reason.

(MUTTERS)

MICKEY: A woman from the Avenue
said that we need
to be looking at a cop.

- Who is she?
- Paula Mulroney.

(SIGHS)

WOMAN: Has she had
any other children
or lost any other children?

MICKEY: No.

WOMAN: About how long
has she been using opioids?

MICKEY: At least seven years.

Do you believe your sister
used throughout her pregnancy?

Does she show any desire
to get into recovery?

No.

In the event
the mother is deemed
unable to care for the child,

is there a family member
who might be equipped
to provide care?

Yes.

Me.

(PHONE BUZZES)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Excuse me.
May I take a look at the victim?

Sorry. Who are you?

I'm Mickey Fitzpatrick
from the 30th.

I'm following up on a lead.
My sergeant thinks
that the victim...

James Scanlon might be tied
to a case in our precinct.

Sadly, there isn't much to see.

(CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING)

Probably been in that water
for over a month.

MICKEY: He drowned?

(SCOFFS) Yeah. Right after
he was shot in the back.

I'd say he floated downstream
quite a long way.

Riverway's a boating company.

It says here,
they do booze cruises,
boat rentals.

It looked like
an employee jacket,
like Scanlon worked for them.

What's a sheet metal worker
doing at a boating company?

DPD didn't seem to have
a record of him
on Riverway's payroll.

But I'll head over there.

- Ask about it.
- The ME said that the body

had been in the water
for over a month.
He was shot in the back.

He probably drifted down
from somewhere upriver.

Emily Morris
was found upriver, too.

Maybe they were shot
at the same time...

by the same person.

But Jimmy's last text said
that he was meeting
somebody named Melissa.

A lot of women in the city
go by a different name, right?
You told me that yourself.

Yeah. Emily could be Melissa.

TRUMAN: Hm.

She checked herself
out of Lutheran.

She's not gonna be easy to find.

I wonder...

maybe she'll be
at Paula's funeral.

You want me to come with you?

- To a funeral?
- Yes.

But... I think
I should go alone.

(KNOCKING AT DOOR)

Colder than
a witch's tit out there.

Would you like to come in?

(EXHALES)

GEE: Just like your sister
taking off
without saying a thing.

Told you, didn't I say it?

Still, glad she showed her face.

- Are you? Glad?
- Of course I am.

I care about Kacey.
I care about you.
That's why I'm here.

Why I kept your dad away...
Didn't trust him.

You girls...
already lost your mom.

Didn't need another heartbreak.

I didn't either.

I understand...

why you told us he was dead.

But... do you know how it feels
to be a kid with no parents?

For them to just be gone?

We deserved to know the truth.

You should have told us
he was alive.

I'm...

(EXHALES)

- Sorry?
- (SIGHS)

I was gonna say thirsty.
(CHUCKLES)

Don't suppose you have anything
harder than water to drink?

You saw her? Kacey?

For two seconds
before she shut the door
in my face.

And Daniel came out after.

How'd she look?

Sober.

And pregnant.

(EXHALES)

Hm.

- Who's the father?
- Her boyfriend. Name's Dock.

That's where she disappeared.

She was hiding.

From me.

She was scared that I would try
to take this new baby, too.

You had every right
to do what you did.

You stepped up, Mickey.

You knew what we all knew.

Thomas didn't have a shot.
Not with her raising him.

It ain't her fault.

Kacey had the cards
stacked against her.

Born in withdrawal.
It's like a curse.

I didn't know that.
That Kacey was born addicted.

I remember Mom sleeping a lot
before she died.

But even after
I knew what that meant,

I thought...
I always thought that...

she started using
after Kacey was born.

No. Right after you.

(EXCLAIMS)

All this time, I blamed Kacey
for using, for making
that choice the first time.

And it wasn't a choice at all.

Thomas... (SCOFFS)

He was cursed, too.

No, no.

No, no, it's my fault.

Kacey turned out
the way she did, my fault.

Won't be the same for Thomas.

How can you be
so sure about that?

Because Thomas
has you raising him.

And Kacey had... me.

(GEE SIGHS)

What if they tell him? Thomas.

That I'm not his...

Aunt Lynn and them
won't say nothing to nobody.

I'll make sure all the O'Briens
know the deal. Okay?

(SIGHS) When he gets older,
you can tell him
or not tell him.

Don't waste time on guilt
when you're just doing
what family does.

And if you ain't
his real mother,

you're the closest thing
he has to it.

(SIGHS DEEPLY)

Mom?

Yeah.

How come you look so sad?

(SIGHS)

Thomas, you know, the other day,
you asked me if I was all right?

Well, the truth is, I've been...

I'm having a hard time
with something.

I made a mistake.

The kind that you can't fix.

It's never too late
to fix a mistake.

All you have to do is apologize
to the person you hurt.

What if I can't talk
to them anymore?

Are they dead?

Teacher Dana talks about this.

You know what the Quakers say?

What do the Quakers say?

You apologize in your heart.

You think the apology...

just quietly.

Okay.

- Ready?
- Yeah.

(BREATHES DEEPLY)

(BREATHES DEEPLY)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

(INDISTINCT WHISPERING)

(WOMAN CRYING SOFTLY)

(SIGHS)

(ORGAN MUSIC PLAYING)

PRIEST: Let us pray.

O God, to whom mercy
and forgiveness belong,

hear our prayers
for Your servant, Paula,

whom You have called
from this world.

And because she has put her hope
and trust in You,

command that she be carried
safely home to heaven,

and come to enjoy
her eternal reward.

And we ask this
in the name of Jesus,

Your son, who lives
and reigns with you,

and the Holy Spirit as one God
forever and ever.

ALL: Amen.

Please be seated.

We are reminded of a quote
from the "Book of Wisdom."

(EXHALES)

PRIEST:
"The souls of the righteous
are in the hands of God.

"Torment will ever touch them.

"In the eyes of the foolish,
they seem to have died.

"And their departure
was seen as a disaster.

"And their going from us,
utter destruction.

"But they are at peace."

ARNOLD:
Jimmy worked here
on and off for a year,

up until uh...
about a month ago,
he stopped showing up.

And what did Jimmy do for you?

Uh, we leased his boat,
and he ran it.

Booze cruises,
family outings,
that kind of thing?

Yeah. I mean, those were
our bread and butter.

But we brought Jimmy in
to run the launch vessels
for us.

What's a launch vessel?

Okay, since 2020,
Philly's ports
were humming, right?

Sometimes so busy
that these big cargo ships

have to wait at bay
for a few days

in order to get
a spot at the port.

Launch vessels
are the small boats

that take supplies to the crew
while they wait,

and sometimes they take away
the garbage, too.

Any reason why you were
paying Jimmy off the books
to drive his launch vessel?

(CHUCKLES)

Um...

Basically removing trash.
I didn't think I needed
a 1099 for that.

Why are you asking?

Well, I'm sorry to be
the one to tell you this.

But Jimmy's body was found
washed up in the Delaware River.

He'd been shot.

Jesus.

Any chance he was
moving more than trash?

Like what?

Like drugs.

Well, if he was, I certainly
didn't know anything about it.

I'll be right out, okay?

Sue... I'm so sorry.

Mickey, thank you.

I always felt better knowing
you were patrolling the Avenue.
Watching over Paula.

KACEY: Mrs. Mulroney?

(CRYING LOUDLY) My girl!
I want her back.

KACEY: Me, too.

SUE: I want her back.

(BOTH CRYING)

KACEY: Yeah, I know.

I know.

Kace.

You look good.

Dad said that you stopped using.

That's great. It's...

it's really... it's great.

(SIGHS DEEPLY)

I'm really sorry.

For which part?

All of it. Everything.

For everything
that happened with Simon,

for making you think
that you had to hide from me.

And, um...

for Paula.

(SNIFFLES)

(GROANS) I can't do this.
Not with you, Not now.

(SIGHS) Yeah, I'm clean.

And I did it without you.

I'm keeping this one.

(BREATH TREMBLING)

I know that.

You don't think I know that?

No.

I don't.

Hey, why'd you leave
the letters? Kace?

Why'd you leave
those letters for me?

(ENGINE STARTS)

(PHONE BUZZES)

- Hey.
- AURA: Hi.

The tox report for Paula
came back.

Already?

A Detective Danjarat
put a rush on it.

Insulin was in normal range.

It was an overdose.

Synthetic opioid.

- Mickey, you okay?
- Yeah.

It's just
she didn't deserve this.
She didn't deserve any of it.

I know.
You want me to come over?
I get off in an hour.

No, thank you. I'm spent.
I'm gonna go get some sleep.

Okay.

- Call if you need anything.
- Thanks.

(KNOCKING AT DOOR)

I left the letters because
I thought you deserved to know
that Dad was alive.

Is that the only reason?

No.

How long you been clean?

A couple of months.

Since the murders began.

I'm sorry
I made you worry. I just...

But I didn't know
how to do this, and us
at the same time.

And what you said
at the church, I mean, I was...
I was scared.

That I would
take this baby, too?

That you'd be right to take her.

(MICKEY SIGHS)

Do you know what happens...

to your body
after you give birth?

No.

Well, you're a fuckin' mess.

Um... there's a lot of blood.

Everything hurts.
You cry a lot.

Hormones, they tell you.

And then your milk comes in.

And your boobs...

engorged, they call it,
they hurt so fucking much.

My body tried. I was trying
so hard to feed him.

You know, when you nurse a baby,
there's a chemical,
your brain sends to you

to make you feel good?

I never got that.

He never got it.

So I asked for a pump,
and after I used it,
you know what they fuckin' did?

They threw my milk in the trash.

Because they thought
what you thought.

That I was poison to my baby.

And if you thought that,
it must be true.

I needed you
to believe in me, Mickey.

If you just freakin'...
believed in me.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry
that I didn't believe.

I'm sorry that I couldn't see
that Simon had done this
to both of us.

And I'm sorry
I didn't believe you.

Maybe I should have
given you another chance.

Maybe we could've
raised him together.

(SIGHS)

Or maybe everything happened
the way it was supposed to...

for him,

for you.

And for me. I mean, maybe
I wouldn't have gotten here
without all of that happening.

(SIGHS)

Would you like to see him?

Dun-Dun

MICKEY: He never goes anywhere
without him.

Neither did I.

I know.

Oh, my God.
It's my fault she's dead.

I mean, we don't know that.

Aura said it was
an overdose, right?

- I don't care what she said.
- No, you were trying
to help her.

You still can, Mick.
I mean, Paula said the killer
was a cop, right?

She thought I knew him.

She thought it was Simon.

But it's not. I checked.

Still would make sense.

(PHONE BUZZES)

- It's Truman.
- Take it.

Hi.

Right now is not good.

Okay. I'll meet you there
tomorrow. Good night.

(SIGHS)

- So what do we do now?
- I'm not sure.

We had another lead,
but we can't find her.

I think she worked
the Avenue, too.

What was her name?

Emily Morris.

Might also go
by the name Melissa.

- Dark hair, skinny as shit?
- Yeah.

Um...

I might know where to find her.

I'm not involving you, Kacey.

I'm already involved.
It's my fucking friends
who are getting killed.

I'll start looking
for Melissa in the morning.

I'm coming with you.

No.

Kacey, you're pregnant,
and you're newly sober.

- I'm not letting you go alone.
- I have to go alone, Mickey.
She's not gonna talk to a cop.

(SIGHS) Okay, um...

Then, you just have to check in
with me the whole time.

I need to know you're okay.

Thank you for coming.

Thank you
for letting me back in.

Thanks for letting me
back in, too.

(LINE RINGING)

(SIGHS) Come on, Kace.

(LINE CONTINUES RINGING)

VOICEMAIL: Hey, this is Kacey.

- Leave a message, or don't.
- (GROANS)

(PHONE BUZZES)

(SIGHS) Hey.

TRUMAN: You forget
about our meeting?

Shit. I did forget.

TRUMAN: So Scanlon takes
an off-the-books job
as a launch boat captain.

And starts receiving
mysterious payments

from a Chinese
consulting company
at the same time.

Doesn't take rocket scientist
to figure he's getting paid
to take away more than trash.

Mm. How do any
of the women fit into this?

Hopefully, Kacey can find out.

- Hey, what's wrong?
- (SIGHS)

She was supposed
to check in with me.
She hasn't.

Now she's not texting me back.

TRUMAN: Hey,
maybe she slept in,
or changed her mind.

- You're worried about her.
- I'm always worried about her.

It feels like
ever since I was a kid,

25% of my brain's always
been busy with a problem.

If Kacey was using,
the problem would be
that she might die.

If she was clean,
it would be that
she might start using again.

There's never been quiet.

I don't know
what it would be like...

to have quiet.

And this time,
if she goes right back to it,

I don't know what I would do.

Hey. She might be
stronger than you think.

Yeah, maybe.

I really, really
want to believe that.

Get back on your beat.
I got the boat routes
from Riverway.

Jimmy used to pass a spot
where Emily Morris climbed out

every shift he worked.

I'm gonna go back,
see if he had any reason
to stop there.

Do you remember
that warehouse nearby?

You remember
what it said on the side?

Port Richmond Yards.

It's where Gee used to work
in his longshoreman days.

He was talking about it
on Christmas.

An old Marine terminal
might still have docks.

It might. It would be
a very easy place to drop

whatever Scanlon might have been
offloading from those ships.

(MICKEY SIGHS)

I'm gonna lose my mind
worrying about Kacey.

I'm gonna come with you.

What about your patrol car?

What about it?

Hey, do you know Melissa?

You know a girl named Melissa?

I am sorry to bother you.

Oh, my God.

Yo! Hey, You all right?

Where'd you go to score?

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

TRUMAN: Looks like once DPD
tipped me off to Scanlon,

we were following
the same trail.

There's a whole lot
of product there.

So we were right
about what Scanlon
was doing with his boat.

If Jimmy was bringing it in,
maybe the women were taking it
out to the streets.

I don't know about that.

Do you know any dealers
who would trust someone

in active addiction
to run their supply for them?

- OFFICER: You can't be here.
- MAN: I got him.

- I got him.
- TRUMAN: That's my buddy
from the DPD.

Name's Martinez.

You hang back.
I'll talk to him first.

- Truman.
- You're not even
supposed to be here, Mickey.

There's a whole lot
of eyes out there.

And you're in uniform.

(CAR DOOR CLOSES)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

MARTINEZ: After we discovered
the Riverway connection,

we went to Scanlon's house,
searched the boat
in his driveway.

Its GPS led us here.

TRUMAN: If he was being paid
to offload product

and bring it here
until a runner picked it up...

(CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING)

...what did he do
that got him killed?

I mean, why pay someone
you're gonna ice?

MARTINEZ: Well,
that's the thing. He wasn't
getting paid anymore.

Scanlon's payments stopped
a week before he was
last seen alive.

(TRUMAN SIGHS)

And the girl
who crawled out the river
into the lot next door...

how does she fit into this?

That, we don't know yet.

MICKEY: I think I know.

Scanlon meets Taylor Yoon
at 7 Brothers.

They have an argument.

Shortly after that, SOK Holding
stops paying Scanlon, meaning...

Meaning that Scanlon
stopped running product shortly
after he met with Taylor.

Then, a few days later,
she turns up dead
from an insulin overdose.

- Mm-hmm.
- And then Scanlon exchanges
text messages with Melissa.

They both get shot.

And then Paula
says that the guy
in the video is a cop,

and then she ends up dead.

We've been
cross-referencing Scanlon with
all the women on the Avenue.

But maybe we should've just
been crossing him with cops.

(TRUMAN SIGHS)

What?

I don't know, Mick.

You don't know what?

If we should be
going down this path.

If it's police
behind all the drugs
in that warehouse,

this thing is far bigger
than we thought.

And it's not just
one rogue maniac
killing women for kicks.

It's a goddamn operation.

If someone catches you
cross-referencing
a dead drug smuggler

with your co-workers,
you're gonna
get yourself killed.

You have no idea
how far cops will go
to protect their own.

Sounds like maybe I do.

(SIGHS)

- Come on, Mickey.
- Oh, my God...

I just want you to be careful.

I don't get it.
It finally feels like
we're getting closer,

and then
you want to back off?

I didn't say back off.
I said be careful.

You really want
what happened to Paula
to happen to you, or Kacey?

Exactly why I need
to keep going on this, okay?
By myself if I have to.

- Mickey, please. Let's just...
- I don't have time for this.

I have to find Kacey.

- I shouldn't have
let her go alone.
- Mickey. Mickey!

Have you seen her? No?

Excuse me.
Have you seen this girl?

No?

(PHONE BUZZES)

Kace.

Oh, my God! Oh, God!
Hey, what happened?

What happened?

- Uh...
- What happened?

Kace...

- I need to get out of here.
- Wait.

Hey.

What? What's wrong?

Tell me. Please. Please.

I found her.
I found Melissa.

Where is she?

- She split.
- What do you mean, she split?

Did you...
What did she say to you?
Did she tell you who shot her?

Kace? Did she tell you?

She said the killer
is Truman Dawes.
