Previously onThe Equalizer...

Eight years ago,

I shot a man in front of his children.

That's not something you just get over.

I think she's having a panic attack. What should I do?

Just hold on. Harry, what's happening?

Hey! Who's there?

How's Mel doing? HARRY: I don't think she's gonna want

to return to the team anytime soon.

How's Robyn feel about that?

From now on, the only person

I can trust to be there

is myself.

♪ Unforgettable

♪ That's what you are

♪ Unforgettable

♪ Though near or far...

Oh, yes.

Ooh, Auntie.

Morning.

Egg white frittata's on the stove,

orange juice in the fridge.

What is that, your ginger scones?

My famous ginger scones. Mmm.

But they are for the Police and Community Alliance.

I'm going with my friend Evelyn.

That's starting up again?

Yep, they've got a new outreach program.

Nothing says "outreach"

like the smell of fresh, homemade pastries.

You're welcome. Mmm, thank you.

Yeah, PCA's a good program.

Builds bridges in the community.

And Lord knows, we need those bridges

more than ever these days.

Good morning, fam.

Okay. Somebody's in a good mood.

Yeah, any particular reason

you're feeling so happy?

Is that you and Cam? Are y'all holding hands? Yeah. Yeah.

And is that a heart emoji? Yeah.

We're IG official. Ah!

Instagram official?

That means they're dating, Robyn.

I know what it means, Auntie.

But y'all are... you're dating?

Yes, Mom. Okay, and understand,

I remember everything that you've taught me.

Okay, I'm gonna go. I got to call, like, everyone.

Bye.

Our baby's growing up.

Auntie, do you know

Cam's date of birth, by any chance?

You are not gonna run a background check

on that young man. I wasn't.

Robyn. I was gonna have Harry do it.

Ooh, Lord...

Okay, I'll leave him alone.

That's my baby. He don't understand...

Well, he's lucky I got to go.

Love you. Oh, wait, wait.

Let-let me just wrap it up.

No, you wrapped it in love already.

Let me just take it with me, Auntie.

Love you. Mmm. Love you.

"Open mic night"?

"Sing. Speak. Shine."

Every Thursday.

Yeah, I'm trying something new.

Supporting up-and-coming artists

and, you know, bringing in new business.

Yeah, sounds like a win-win. Yeah.

I, uh, guess they're for you.

Lily asked me

to watch her daughter Hanna last night.

And I knew something was wrong

when she never came to pick her up.

Was that unusual? Lily asking you to watch her daughter?

Lily's my best friend.

Being a social worker,

she gets calls at all hours, so we do this a lot.

But the fact that she hasn't called is really troubling.

Her phone's going straight to voicemail.

I've been checking hospitals and every friend I can think of.

No sign of her.

You want more lemonade, Hanna?

How about some fries?

No, thank you. My mama likes to take me to lunch.

I'm sure she'll be here soon.

Yeah.

Well, what about the police?

Have you filed a missing persons report?

Not yet.

Lily's in a nasty

custody battle with her ex.

And he's just the kind of jerk

who'd use this against her in court.

I couldn't live with that.

Hanna keeps asking when her mommy's coming back.

I'm trying to be strong, but...

Look, I know it's hard,

but I agree with you, if she hasn't reached out to you,

then something's wrong.

I mean, I don't know what to do.

I have no one else to turn to.

You're a good friend.

And you did the right thing coming to me.

I'll do everything in my power to make sure Lily gets home.

Anything on Lily's phone? HARRY: Yeah, I just tracked it, actually,

to a place called Bright Start Transitional Home.

I know that place. It's a halfway house for ex-cons.

Yeah, exactly. I tried calling it,

but I was having a hard time getting through.

What about her ex? Well, that's the first place I looked.

Peter Evans. He hauled her in

for five emergency custody hearings

in the last year. With a smile that wide,

you can't trust a guy like that.

But still, he'd have to be pretty dumb to kidnap his ex.

Or pay someone to do it.

I mean, he'd be the prime suspect.

Yeah, no, agreed. Plus, his, uh,

credit card and phone records show

that he was in Florida the last four months,

including last night.

Well, what else have you got?

I mean, a person like Lily doesn't just vanish.

Well, this is interesting.

An incident report was filed between Lily

and a felon named Jesse Cervantes.

"Resident exhibited threatening behavior,

profanity, intimidation."

And check this out:

he's housed at the same place that I tracked the phone to,

Bright Start Transitional Home.

Looks like that's where we start.

All right.

Where you going? Well, you said, "we."

Come on, Rob, with Mel out for now,

I'm your huckleberry.

Let's rock and roll. Right on.

It's not easy, but you'll get it.

It takes time and reps.

Nah, Dad. My handles suck.

Especially my left.

Don't give up. Look,

you and Stefon move out here in two weeks.

You and I will put in some time,

I'll have you driving the lane like my man Brunson.

Okay, what's that face?

Nothing.

Nothing, really?

Lately, when I bring up

you two moving out here, you go quiet on me.

A month ago, you couldn't wait. What changed?

I don't know, Dad. I've got things up here, you know?

Trying to make JV...

Yo, NYPD Blue.

Got a possible location on a POI.

Units en route. Give me a sec.

Pick this up later, Ky, okay?

In the meantime, keep practicing.

Okay.

So, who we looking at?

Sicarionamed Palma Alamilla,

as known as La Maldad.

"The Evil One," huh? Alamilla's left a trail

of bodies from Sinaloa to L.A.

Better take her down before that list gets any longer.

Look, uh, I heard part of your conversation with your son.

I get it. This job can be hard on families.

I'll work it out. I've done it before.

This ain't eight hours in a detective's sedan, Blue.

We're 24/7 out there. Raising kids in this job,

it's harder than it looks.

Lily's phone shows

within 100 feet of this building.

Yep, well, it's not in here.

Thank you.

All right, Lily left her purse with her wallet and her keys.

Who does that?

Someone who thinks they're coming back.

They're in here.

You wanted to see me?

Mr. Cervantes.

We're looking into the disappearance of Lily Evans.

We heard you two had a little run-in.

Why should I talk to the both of you?

What do you say, Rob, first bus back to Rikers?

Yeah. Window seat, even.

You know, if we rush the paperwork, we can get you back

in time for dessert. I hear they're doing

a crème brûlée with, like, a raspberry drizzle?

Okay, all right, what the hell do you want?

Again, we're looking for Lily.

Now, we read the report, we know you threatened her.

Just tell the truth.

It's a lot easier to remember.

We got into it, okay?

I thought she was singling me out.

Then I talked to my sponsor and chilled.

I even apologized. When was that?

Yesterday, right here.

She said my apology

was a sign of growth.

So, what happened?

Nothing. With me, anyways.

But she saw something out front that really bugged her out.

You know what scared her?

Nah, but whatever it was,

she was shook.

Bolted out the back door.

Haven't seen her since.

No cameras.

Look at this.

Shoe prints.

Three different sets. Yeah, the smaller ones could be Lily's.

These look like drag marks.

Drag marks start over here...

and then...

fresh tire tracks.

Okay, so, Lily runs back here,

where she's grabbed and dragged into a car.

I mean, uh, I can check nearby street cams and see if, uh,

these tire tracks match a vehicle, I guess.

Hold on.

Is that a phone?

Somebody is after me and they will not leave me alone.

Hanna, baby, I love you.

And no matter what happens to me, know that Mama

just wanted a better life... no! No!

What happens to me, know that Mama just wanted

a better life for you... A dedicated social worker

and single mother like Lily,

uh, she doesn't just get snatched

in broad daylight for no reason.

It doesn't make sense. Well, what else

does she have going on in her life?

Well, whatever it was, it was lucrative.

She made $62,000 last year as a social worker,

but she had $87,000 in student debt.

Three months ago, she starts paying it off

in $10,000 increments. Where'd she get that kind of money?

Well, I've been doing a data retrieval on her phone.

We got a hidden cache here.

Got photos in it and...

oh, and video.

Pablo, hi, I miss you.

Hi, Max.

I got that outfit that you sent me.

I'm getting an idea how Lily

was paying off those loans.

Yeah. Running a reverse image search on her.

Uh, yeah, here we go.

"Lily Evans is a content provider on Follow Hub,

an adult subscription service. "" Custom photos,

"videos, live one-on-one video chats,

the ultimate online girlfriend experience."

This article says that Follow Hub models

can make up to 50 grand a month.

Well, she's got to take care of her child somehow.

Her body, her choice.

No judgement, it just feels exploitive, you know?

Yeah, only if you choose to see it that way.

I mean, in this country, women make 78 cents to a man's dollar?

That's the real exploitation.

According to her bank records, three months ago,

she started getting direct deposits

from something called Momentum, Inc.,

which, apparently, is "a digital hub

"that manages Follow Hub profiles,

builds brands, amplifies income," yada yada yada.

So, it's a management company for Follow Hub personalities.

So, if they're working together, maybe they have some idea

of what's going on with Lily.

Can you access their records?

No, it's-it's a closed system.

We'd have to install a back door in their network.

You'd have to be on site to do that.

Well, I guess someone's gonna have to go in there

as a Follow Hub content provider.

W-Why you looking at me?

Can't we, like, rock, paper, scissors this?

♪ Yo, yo, yo

♪ Yo, check it

Tell me what you see.

Uh, yeah, looks like a...

tech startup on Viagra.

You must be "GuitarGrooveGuy."

Hey. We talked on the phone.

Sup? I'm Sebastian.

Victoria Allen. Chief Operating Officer here at Momentum.

All right, all right.

So, I looked at your content, Sebastian. Uh-huh.

And I liked what I saw.

Oh, right on, right on. Yeah.

I mean, I got, like, you know, 10,000 followers,

but, you know, I... You want more.

Yeah, yeah. Who doesn't?

I can get you to two million.

Oh, two million...

Momentum is top tier.

We have every kind of content creator imaginable.

We have fashion freaks, fitness gurus, MILFs,

couples, throuples, gamers... Okay.

But so far, no guitar shredders.

Lucky me. Uh, cool. Uh, so, like, what's your cut?

20%. 20%.

Of two million followers.

Well, I mean, I'm in. I mean, like, what's next?

We get to work.

And you're a total brand rebuild.

I need more sex, more chest...

Ooh. All right.

Lose few of these buttons.

Hope you like a shag.

From now on,

you're "The Ripped Shredder."

Oh. Ripped Shredder.

We just need to make a sample brand video.

Chloe, why don't you give our prospective client a tour

while they prepare the content room for the test shoot?

And then come speak to me about your metrics.

They're dropping fast.

Models chat live with fans in the cubicles.

Videos are made in our vid pods.

And editing and uploading is done

Oh.

And... Here you go, sweetie.

Oh, thank you.

All the free drinks you could ever want.

Right, because, like, the more copacetic things are here,

the less you're gonna want to go home, right?

Exactly.

- Let me show you our fitness salon... - Hey.

Um, you know what?

Um, I need to tune, uh, my axe.

You know, I got to do a video or something like that.

Yeah, go ahead. I can wait.

Okay, yeah. All right.

Okay, cool, yeah, I'll just, uh,

Oh, no!

Oh, no, what a bummer. It's okay.

Do you need my shirt? No, I got a whole wardrobe in my locker.

That's such a bummer. It's okay, yeah.

You can just... Oh, man. Sorry, Chloe.

What was that? Are you okay?

All right, I'm at Lily's cubicle.

I'm installing the back door.

And this will just take a few minutes.

See anything of interest?

Uh, yeah, some, uh, models live chatting.

There's one there that seems to be, uh, sneezing by request.

Sounds like quite a party.

I meant anything at Lily's cubicle.

Yeah, right.

Uh, okay.

Okay, all right, I found, uh,

a drawer full of what appear to be gifts.

By, maybe, fans. There's jewelry, there's, uh,

there's a photo of Lily and another woman.

You recognize her? HARRY: No.

But why would she keep it stashed

in the bottom of a drawer?

It must mean something to Lily.

There's a gift box.

Diamonds?

A photo of her daughter Hanna playing at the playground.

And there's a note.

"Delete your account before I get closer."

Her daughter? That must've terrified Lily.

Yeah. This does not seem like an opening move.

I-I'm sure we'll find more threats leading up to this

once I can get into her private messages, which...

we now will be able to.

What are you doing?

Oh, hey, uh, I was just, uh...

Just tuning ol' Trigger here.

There's a crew waiting for you in POD A.

Okay.

Just thinking out loud here...

How attached are you to the pants?

The pants? Um, you know, these are Japanese,

so they're just kind of hard to come by.

Right. Oh.

Namaste. Namaste.

Mm. That was amazing.

Gosh.

I feel so energized.

Girl, you did a handstand today.

I know, right?

Gosh...

I'm just so happy you introduced me to yoga.

I've been talking to my therapist

about how it just helps me stay centered.

Dee, can I just say the way you've handled

everything that you've been through,

it's pretty incredible.

Thanks.

You know, honestly, it's all thanks to Dr. Roszak.

She's helped me process so much.

Oh, by the way, did you ever call her?

I did, and I made an appointment.

And...

it's actually for today.

Yeah.

But, um...

I don't think I'm gonna go.

What? Why not?

I just don't know if I'm ready

to open up about all this...

stuff.

I just didn't come from a family

that did the therapy thing.

You know what?

Dr. R actually has a saying.

She says,

"Our past doesn't have to be our prison.

Well, I know she would help you so much.

It would mean the world to me if you just...

gave it a shot.

I'm not trying to pressure you.

Whatever you decide, I support you.

Thank you.

I'll think about it.

Captain Curtis. Nice to meet you.

Good to finally meet you.

Now I see why you wanted to come here.

Why didn't you tell me you just needed a good wing-woman?

What I need is for him to demonstrate

how to use those handcuffs.

You need to stop.

What do we have here?

Mmm.

I have to know.

Who made these delicious scones?

I did.

Well, what's your secret?

What'd you put in these?

Ginger and Tahitian rum.

Isn't that what you told me?

Yes. Exactly.

I like it.

And a touch of cardamom, right?

Yes. From Jamaica.

Mmm.

What's your name?

Evelyn Rodgers.

Everyone, do yourselves a favor,

grab one of Evelyn's amazing scones

and then please, take your seats.

You sit your ass down.

Just sit down.

Okay.

Hello, and welcome

to the Citizen's Police Academy Community Outreach,

where it's about communication,

not confrontation.

For those I didn't already meet, I am Captain Curtis,

!and I thank you for your commitment.

Hey, any luck at the halfway house?

Canvassed the entire area. No one saw anything.

Hold on a second. I might've just gotten a hit.

I, uh, I ran a print

that was on a gift box I got out of Lily's cubicle.

Jake Marshall, 51, insurance agent.

He's on Follow Hub as "Beta Dude."

Okay, so what do we know about Beta Dude?

He calls himself a "peek freak"

and his bio says, "Let me guess

what's up your dress."

You're serious?

That's just one of his hobbies.

You should see his cloud.

Voyeurism, women in peril,

bondage, lots of sick stuff.

Yeah, well, it sounds like he's progressing.

You know what? You may be on to something.

He was arrested for, uh, stalking,

harassment and kidnapping a woman in Kentucky.

Okay, so how is he not behind bars?

The charges were thrown out on a Miranda violation.

Spent a few months in Michigan,

where he's now a person of interest

in the disappearance of a sex worker.

And now he's here.

I'm going to get this guy off the streets.

Lily could be in the hands of a killer.

Where's Lily Evans?

I don't know what you're talking about.

You've been stalking her, Jake.

Found your fingerprints on a threatening photo of her.

I don't have to talk to you.

I'm gonna place my thumb

between your collar bone and your shoulder joint,

and press down.

You ready?

Let me know when you're feeling more chatty. You're crazy.

Chloe! I did it for Chloe!

God... Who?

Chloe Ward.

She's a Follow Hub model like Lily.

Chloe asked you to target Lily?

No, she's too pure.

I did it myself.

I look out for Chloe.

She's my girlfriend.

You really believe that, don't you?

I know there's other guys, I'm not stupid.

But it's different with me.

Yeah? How so?

No, no! No!

You know, if something happens to Lily,

it's gonna come back on Chloe

and she might be really mad at you.

But you're a smart guy, you already figured that out, right?

Okay. Okay, I'll talk.

!Just leave Chloe out of this.

Go on.

I've been following Lily, trying to scare her off.

She was taking Chloe's followers.

Chloe was losing money.

It wasn't fair.

It was up to me to stop it.

How long have you been following her?

Oh, just a couple days, I swear.

I think this eliminates Jake as a suspect.

I mean, the metadata shows that our lovelorn friend

was nowhere near Bright Start at the time of Lily's abduction.

He didn't kidnap her.

He's just a stalker and a simp.

You know, a simp's like a guy who does everything for a girl...

Wait, you're not about to mansplain to me what a simp is.

Which is funny, 'cause that's the last thing

a simp would ever do. What's this?

Looks like Lily's having more than just

a casual disagreement with that woman.

And whoever this is, this happened

just a few hours before Lily's disappearance.

You know how I know that? See those little numbers up there?

That's called the metadata and what that does is...

I'm kidding.

Neighborhood Watch, foot patrols.

All examples of important community involvement.

Yes.

Uh, is there anything else that we can do

besides just being watchdogs?

Communicate.

Develop a relationship with your precinct.

But resist crossing the line.

How do we know what the line is?

Be vigilant, not vigilantes.

Like that woman out there they call "The Equalizer."

That's crossing the line.

Excuse me. From what I understand,

that woman has done a lot of good for the community.

That we know of.

Policework should be handled by police.

Not by some wannabe out there

endangering the lives of innocent people.

If anything, we should be thanking that woman.

She puts her life on the line

and doesn't ask for anything in return.

By taking the law into her own hands,

that woman is a criminal.

That's ridiculous.

What I'm trying to say

is that statistics have proven that the police

can't be everywhere all the time

and sometimes... people just need a little help.

This looks like a good time for a break.

!You are the worst wingwoman ever.

You don't seem like you want to be here.

I don't.

But I said I would,

so here I am.

What are you hoping to accomplish here?

Let's start with that.

Look, I'm doing okay.

I've got a very supportive husband.

I run a business.

That's great.

It sounds like you have things under control.

Yes.

Your life's back to normal, then.

Yeah, I...

Obviously, I did have a panic attack

a while ago, and, um...

I've had to step away from...

this, uh... Robyn McCall. That's okay.

I know about what she does.

And I understand why you'd want to stop.

I didn't say that.

I said stepping away, temporarily.

Mel, therapy's not for everyone.

I mean, there are other ways to cope with what

you're going through. Exactly.

Which is why I go to a veteran's group,

where I can talk to other people what I've been through,

who've actually experienced

what I have.

Understood.

Have you heard of Kintsugi?

Yeah, it's, uh...

Japanese, right?

It's a pottery thing,

where you take the broken piece...

You take the broken pieces and you glue them back together.

The word means "golden repair."

And it is a way of looking at life

that celebrates our flaws.

It honors them as a mark of survival.

It's kind of like a Purple Heart for the soul.

I'm wondering if you would try something for me.

Pottery's not my thing.

Any type of artistic expression.

Even if it's just for you.

Will you try it?

Sorry, I just have a few questions.

Whatever you're selling, I'm not interested.

Oh, no...

This woman. She came to see you the other day.

Busybody, like you.

Wasting my time with her questions.

She's missing, and you were one of the last people

to talk to her.

So you said she was asking questions?

About Sarah.

My daughter.

Is this your daughter Sarah in the picture with Lily?

Yeah, that's her. She and the busybody

worked together at the porn site.

If you want to call that work.

So what did she want to know about your daughter?

She said Sarah disappeared three months ago.

Wanted to know where she was.

I told her she was asking the wrong person.

Your daughter worked at Follow Hub and she disappeared.

That didn't concern you?

No, she does this all the time.

Quits jobs.

Runs out on boyfriends.

She dropped out of college.

She'll be back when she needs money.

So you have no idea where she is.

It's better that way.

She's caused me enough trouble.

Someone at church found one of her videos

online, my friends kicked me out of book club.

Made it too awkward, they said.

I'm sorry.

No one deserves to be judged like that.

Neither does Sarah.

She used to do ballet.

She was good, too, could go right up on pointe.

But she gave up on that dream,

like she gave up on herself.

Well, I'm not giving up on her.

If I hear anything, I'll let you know.

Thank you.

Sarah Tanner, Follow Hub model,

stopped uploading new content three months ago.

I checked Lily's phone records,

and she's been texting and calling her once a week

ever since. So Lily notices Sarah stopped coming to work.

Grows concerned.

Finally gets worried enough to go looking for her.

Then she vanishes, too.

Somebody doesn't want Lily poking around.

You know what's crazy is

that Sarah's page is still up, her old content

is still generating new revenue.

Profiting from a missing girl?

Who would be that heartless?

One person comes to mind.

Victoria Allen, the woman who runs Momentum.

I get the impression profit is just about all she cares about.

Let's check out her financials.

Wow.

She deposited $300,000

three months ago into her personal account.

And then another 300K just a few days ago.

Right before Lily disappeared.

Harry, she's selling these women.

Yeah, but to whom?

And all these deposits were made in cash,

so if we want answers...

Time for the Shredder to make another appearance.

Right.

Harry, I'm getting another call.

Keep me posted, okay? Yep.

Marcus, what's up?

Hey, Robyn.

Can I talk to you about something?

Always. Problem with a case?

Actually, it's about my boys.

They're having a hard time.

Let me guess.

The distance has created some issues.

Which is why the plan was always to move them to L.A.

And they're pushing back on that, too?

And I get where they're coming from.

It's no fun to pick up and start over.

Well, it can't be great for you.

Not seeing them for so long.

Yeah, being a FaceTime father is no good for anyone involved.

Robyn, be honest with me.

Am I asking too much of them?

You knew taking this job would involve sacrifice.

But what you're doing is important.

Just have to find the balance.

You mean like you?

You make it all look so easy.

It's never easy.

When Dee was young,

my work with the agency meant a lot of travel.

And I hated every minute

I spent away from her. I still do.

There's never enough time.

Yeah, well, we figure it out, because we have to.

But I was lucky.

I had a safety net in Aunt Vi.

You're saying I can't do this alone.

I'm saying you should arrange some kind of support system

before you make this call.

And until then...

maybe this is how it's got to be.

Maybe.

But that's a decision for you to make.

Yo, Vic!

I'm back.

Oh, you can't just show up without an appointment.

I'm extremely busy. This'll just take a minute.

Is there somewhere we can talk? What about?

My bank records?

Who are you? Tell you what.

Why don't we just focus

on the two $300,000 deposits that you made that happen

to coincide with the disappearance of two

of your employees. I'm calling my lawyer.

You are? Okay, great, what I'm gonna do

is I'm gonna call the D.A. so your lawyer has someone fun

to argue with.

What do you want?

Money? No.

I want to know what happened to those women.

All right.

Okay, okay.

I was approached by a fan.

He wanted access.

Right, so you obliged.

I just gave him their real names

and addresses, that's it.

Just the sort of information that you go to great pains

to conceal from other users.

I need a name.

I don't have one.

The cash was dropped off anonymously.

I have a username.

VIPcryptoFan529.

That's not good enough, all right?

I need to know where the hell these women are.

I don't know.

Really!

They could be anywhere.

Be smart.

Just do what he says.

Tell me you belong to me.

Say it.

I belong to you.

You bitch!

I will train you to be with me.

But first...

I will make you pay.

Any updates?

Sandra, I'll keep you posted.

And tell that little girl I'm doing everything I can

to bring her mom home.

Okay, thanks.

Rob, what's up?

Lily's daughter's been asking for her.

Where are we with finding the identity of this fan?

I'm going through his DMs on the Follow Hub site to Lily

and Sarah, I'm just trying to build some kind of profile here.

Any insights? I mean, nothing

that would narrow it down. This guy,

if he is a guy, presents as both

sort of old-fashioned chauvinist

and creepy stalker.

I mean, listen to this DM.

"I will give you the world.

"Every desire will be met.

My queen will want for nothing."

And this is where it gets creepy.

Getscreepy?

"I will mold you into your ideal self: your hair,

your clothes, your skin."

He wants to dress them up like dolls.

They're playthings to him.

"Your face will be flawless.

"Your eyes,

"your lips, your nails,

"adorned with the ideal shade, everything

tailor-made to enhance your beauty."

Wait.

Do you think he's having cosmetics

custom-designed for her? Uh, sounds like it. Why?

Because there's got to be a store

that does that sort of thing. Checking.

All right, I got something, yeah.

The ideal shade, lips and nails,

"tailor-made to bring out the true you.

Everything from Crimson Seduction to Passion Sapphire."

Send me the address.

I'm on my way.

Welcome.

May I introduce you to our latest collections?

Uh, not today, thanks.

But you still might be able to help me.

Have you seen this woman in here?

Uh, not in person.

But her husband sent us that photo.

He's not her husband. We don't judge here.

Who is he? I need a name.

We value our clients' privacy, so...

Your client

is holding this woman against her will.

Which makes you an accessory to kidnapping,

false imprisonment, maybe worse,

unless you give me that damn name right now.

Daniel Fleming.

I need everything you have on him.

Hurry up.

Harry, we got a name.

Daniel Fleming.

He's made millions in pump and dump crypto scams.

He's been divorced three times,

holds black belts in multiple martial arts

and his social media feed

looks like Toxic Masculinity for Dummies,

although I realize that's redundant.

You have an address for me?

Yeah, he's got a...

penthouse on the Upper East Side and a mansion on Long Island.

He's not holding women at a penthouse.

All right, sending you Long Island.

Sarah, you have to help me.

Please.

Why did you have to hit him?

I told you to do what he asked.

Look.

It doesn't have to be this way.

I can, I-I can distract him.

You could come up behind him, and we could get out of here.

Time for your lesson.

No. I promise, I'll be better.

What is that?

I've found it's an excellent teacher.

It'll hurt a great deal.

But with pain comes enlightenment.

No... Right, Sarah?

Fleming, put it down! Who the hell are you?

The one who's gonna take those girls home.

They'll leave when I say they do.

You like to hurt women, huh, Fleming?

Okay.

Come on.

Hurt me.

Pathetic.

Good news is the next place you're going

is all men.

I'm getting you out of here.

It's over.

Uncuff him or I'll shoot her.

Sarah, leave Lily out of this.

It's me you want.

Yeah.

Listen, Sarah, I know that man's in your head.

You think he controls you.

But you're stronger than he is.

Sarah, shoot her.

Sarah, I talked to your mother.

She told me you were a dancer.

That you had dreams of being in the ballet.

The thing about dreams, Sarah, is

even if they don't come true,

we can always think of new ones.

Sarah, I order you... No. D-Don't listen to him.

Sarah,

you can walk away from this whole thing.

Shoot them!

All you have to do

is put that gun down.

!FLEMING: Sarah!

Pull the trigger, Sarah!

!ROBYN: It's done.

It's over. I'm getting you out of here.

Thank you. I'm taking you to see Hanna.

Thank you. Yeah.

Hanna, I will never ever go away again.

I promise.

I love you so much.

I love you, too.

!Thank you for bringing Mommy back.

I never should have gotten involved with all of that stuff.

Hey.

You weren't doing anything wrong.

You just fell in with the wrong people.

They're going away for a long time.

How do I even begin to thank you?

Seeing you and Hanna together is enough thanks for me.

You're okay.

Have a good night, Captain.

Ev, I got to get out of here.

Not before you hear this. Hear what?

I invited the good captain out for coffee.

Oh, good for you.

No. Good for you.

He wanted to know if you'd be coming, too.

What?

I was giving him every kind of signal in the book,

but he kept steering the conversation back

around to you.

The firebrand with the controversial ideas.

And he's on his way over.

Hey, there.

Just wanted to say I enjoyed our pleasant exchange of ideas.

Is that what that was?

It was a spirited dialogue.

That's what the Community Alliance is all about.

You made the day.

You must have some bad days.

I'm... I'm very sorry.

Of course you do, you are a police officer.

The point is,

there's nothing like a little friction

to get the conversation going.

I hope to see you here again.

Oh, and I know you were the one who made those scones.

And how do you know that?

'Cause they had a kick like I've never tasted.

Just like you.

Yo, Blue.

Nice work out there today.

I got to admit,

when you first got here, cop from New York,

we assumed you'd be nothing but attitude,

all talk and no walk.

I mean,

we did a nice job of hiding it, though.

No, you really didn't.

!Hey, uh, how'd things go with your boys?

Work in progress.

What's up, Ky?

Hey, Dad, guess what?

I made five layups in a row with my left hand.

See? What'd I tell you.

Practice.

Listen, Kyler, I thought things over.

I think the best thing is for you and Stefon to stay

in New York for now.

For real? I worked it out with your mom,

she's gonna rearrange her schedule some,

cut back on her travel.

You okay with this?

Change is tough.

On everyone.

But I don't want to uproot you guys right now.

When the time is right, we'll know, okay? Okay.

So, when you coming for your next visit?

Soon, bud.

I'd be there today if I could. You know that, right?

But... soon.

Hey. Hey.

Missed you today.

Yeah? Me, too.

I heard it was an interesting day.

Yeah, that's definitely one way to describe it.

Hey, you want to turn in soon?

There's a, uh, bottle of Lambrusco with your name on it.

I may also have picked you up

that Belgian chocolate that you like.

Are you trying to woo me, Mr. Keshegian?

I'm just trying to appreciate you for exactly who you are.

In that case, it's a date.

Yeah.

You gonna grab the mic? No, not yet.

I am working on something, though.

You are? Yeah.

All right. I can't wait to hear it.

When it's ready. Yeah.

♪ Oh.

Yes.

But I want to stay for the last act.

The Ripped Shredder.

You don't want to miss that. Mm-mm. No.

Okay.

W... Honey...

What are you...

How you doing?

I'm the Ripped Shredder.

Ripped Shredder!

Then he started talking about

concerned citizens as, as if we were vigilantes.

I mean, why hold these sessions

if all he wants us to do is sit on the sidelines and watch?

I'll tell you why. It makes him feel important.

You two really got into it.

Yeah, we had a back-and-forth.

I had to speak up.

I mean, he was just standing there

in that uniform, looking so rigid.

The size of that man's ego...

You have no idea.

Go ahead, ask her.

Okay. Just one question.

How cute is this Captain Curtis?

Cute?

What does cute have to do with anything?

You like this guy.

What? Am I right? Oh, she's got it bad.

You are ridiculous.

AW.

I see it.

It's Cam, I got to go.

But I love you both. Good night. Aw.

Good night.

Enough about me. Mm.

How was your day?

Exhausting.

You talk to Dante?

I did.

It's getting...

harder.

Hard to be friends

when friends isn't what you feel. Yeah, I suppose.

You know, Auntie,

you have given me a lot of wisdom

through the years.

And I think it's time I give you a little of my own.

We all have flaws.

That's what makes us human.

Okay.

Where is this going?

If you do like this handsome captain...

don't wait too long.

Let him know before it's too late.
