I can see that you're upset.

I shouldn't be here.

This isn't how it works. I understand.

Let's just talk this through together.

Tell me how this all started.

I was there with Rex at this carnival thing.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the annual Popcorn Kids event.

Hey, Rex!

Guys! Hey. Hi.

How's it going, Dad?

Pretty good.

Hi, Evan. How are you?

No costume?

No, I'm all done with mine.

Bert's selling his.

Cash Rex?

How you doing there, Bert? Keep moving along.

Five dollars, anybody.

Okay, what are we going on first?

Can we bungee jump?

Please?

He doesn't like heights.

I don't like trusting my life to a rubber band.

Mr. Rettner, it'll be really, really fun. Please?

Please? Can we please?

Sure. Let's go.

Oh, I'm sorry.

It's my fault.

You okay? Yeah, I'm fine.

You okay?

Okay, who's going first?

I guess that would be me.

Are you sure you want to go?

All right, what do I do just step over here through the gate

When we're ready, I'm gonna count backwards from three and then you jump

Let me just

A bad dream?

Yeah.

And that's the last thing you remember?

Falling? And what about when you woke up?

First I was trying to figure out what it meant, if it meant anything, and then as

the day went on, I got so busy I didn't think about it anymore.

Tell me about your day.

There.

You can see the heartbeat.

Thanks for coming.

Of course.

You alright?

Yeah. Wish my own parents could see this.

When was the last time you talked to them?

I texted her last night. She said that she was gonna bring some clothes over.

Well, there you go.

Maybe when she sees this.

I gotta go.

I'll see you guys at dinner? All right.

Thanks, Mr. Brayden.

Michael.

Thanks, Michael.

All right. Bye.

So this sicko from yesterday walks right in here, not a care in the world, right

past the cameras.

That's Petrovsky.

So while we're across town chasing him for yesterday's murder, he shows up and

commits another.

Guess he wasn't kidding in his journals.

This guy's now officially on a spree.

Was it random?

No. He knew the victim. I got a couple of co-workers say they remember

Petrowski from when he worked on the contract three years ago.

He got on well with Mr. Kalmak here.

So yesterday, he commits a murder at a bus stop for no apparent reason.

And today, he shows up and stabs the guy he got along with.

He's out of his mind. Get used to it. There's a lot of it around.

He's hearing the boys telling him to kill people.

I hear him on telling us to stop this guy, quick.

And this suspect, you still haven't found him yet?

Not so far.

What about last night? Was there anything unusual about your routine?

No. I mean, as I lay down, I remembered the carnival and the fall, and I

wondered what exactly would be waiting for me when I got back there.

When I woke up, I realized that I hadn't gone back at all.

And that's never happened before?

No. No, I always switch.

Anorex, anorex. It's like clockwork.

So what does this all mean to you?

What does it mean?

Doctor, it means you need to figure out a way to get me back to my son.

Now.

So tell me how this works.

I'm awake with my wife, and I close my eyes. I open them.

I'm awake with my son.

And this has been happening since the accident?

So you begin working on one case here in reality, and then suddenly you begin

working another case there in your dream.

It all feels completely real to me.

You can't tell whether you're awake or asleep at this very moment. Well, I can

assure you, Detective Britton, this is not a dream.

That's exactly what the other shrink said.

i understand how you feel but you should know that this is also actually a very

positive sign of progress you know if you understood how i felt you wouldn't

use a word like progress something is not right something's just something's

broken or something's interrupted let's not look for a complicated explanation

when there's a simple one readily available the last time that you saw rex

how did it end you were standing on this platform and then suddenly you're

falling and falling and boom you wake up doesn't that sound like the end of a

dream to you falling is one of the most common ways in which we transition out

of a dream state and that transition comes from your subconscious it comes

from you this is not me telling you that rex is a dream this is you trying to

tell yourself doesn't make any sense

Why? Why would it suddenly stop now? You've got a lot going on.

Things that require not only your attention, but your emotional

investment. In addition to this urgent case, you and your wife are having a

grandchild. There is a teenager living in your house. Isn't it possible that

this life is starting to feel full and real in a way that it's finally

beginning to help you let go of your son?

No. This is...

This is temporary. I can fix it. There's something I'm not seeing. That's all.

You are on the verge of a breakthrough.

And the biggest mistake that you can make right now is to act as if it's a

setback.

I will not lose my son.

Detective.

You lost your son six months ago.

What are you doing in my car? Whoa.

Relax.

Don't tell me to relax. Show me your hands.

Who are you?

I don't know. What does that mean? It means I don't know.

Wait, I know you.

I know you. I bumped into you at that carnival.

That was the last time I saw Rex.

Okay.

Detective Britton?

So glad I caught you.

I was just sitting there in that chair, just getting ready for my next patient.

Everything okay?

Yeah.

Detective.

I'm fine, thanks.

You don't look well, Detective.

What is this?

How did you... Neither I.

Just leapt through time and space.

Or, ding, ding, ding, you're hallucinating.

Why am I seeing you?

I don't know.

Is it to do with Rex?

Why can't I get back to Rex?

I don't know.

Stop saying that.

Is it to do with the case?

The Petrovsky case?

Okay.

Okay? Listen, detective, I'm your imagination.

I can only say what you tell me to say.

And I catch a Petrowski case.

I go to sleep, bump into you there, Rex, and come back here. There's a murderer.

And then I'm stuck here.

And then... Are you somebody he works with?

Are you a friend?

Why are we re-interviewing these people?

They barely knew the guy.

None of them have seen him in three years. We should be out there trying to

track Patrowski down. We've been out there for a day and a half. We got

nothing.

We're missing something. Some detail.

Like what?

A short guy.

Kind of strange looking. Big chin.

Pale blue eyes.

Might have been a friend of Patrowski's or just somebody you saw him talking to

one time here. Or outside the building, maybe.

I don't remember anybody like that.

Petrowski's your prototypical loner.

He ate lunch by himself in his cubicle.

He didn't talk to us unless he was working on our computers.

Bruce is the only one he really talked to, and, you know, he got stabbed to

death for it. What about other employees, people who worked in the

past, somebody he might have crossed paths with? I've done HR here for the

last 15 years.

I don't recall ever having an employee like that.

Somebody else in the building, perhaps.

It doesn't ring a bell, but who is this guy?

It's just someone we need to talk to.

Big chin, pale eyes.

Where are you getting this?

I can't say. You can't say?

What does that even mean? I have a source.

I'm not sure if he's reliable.

Now you think I'm unreliable.

That hurts.

Can we go?

Petrovsky's lived next to me for like five years, and I've never seen anyone

like that in the building.

There's a short woman that lives in one of the units. No, no, maybe somebody

that delivered something to the apartment or did some work there. I've

never seen him with anyone.

In the past month or so, I'd see him in the hallway. He'd complain about these

headaches, but that was the most I'd ever spoken to him. I mean, you could

tell he wasn't well, but to go off like this, people really do that?

All the time.

Right, Detective?

I'm sorry.

I've got an appointment. Can I go?

Yes.

You'll call me if you remember anything?

Of course.

I know what this is. It's the little guy thing all over again.

The what?

The homeless case?

You were obsessed looking for the little guy?

You were looking for me before?

Why are we looking for someone? Hey, listen. You don't like it.

No, if you don't tell me about the source, you don't expect me to follow

you all over.

I know.

I know.

I know.

You guys are killing me. You're killing me.

This is a sacred song from my childhood.

You're destroying a sacred song. We're making you crazy. You're killing me. All

right, Rex, again.

Oh, no.

Michael, you all right?

Come on.

Let's get you to the paramedics. No, no, no.

I'm fine.

I have a bug or something. I'm gonna go home. Here, take me home.

I'll work from there.

How did it go today?

It was good.

I mean, she cried.

I cried.

Just... You can tell she wants me back. It's obviously just my dad right now.

Have you talked to him?

No, he won't even answer my calls.

I've never seen him this bad.

Michael, I wonder if it's time for you to reach out to him again.

Father to father, you know, you can be so persuasive when you try.

Right, yeah.

I mean, I'd be happy to talk to him or try. I don't know.

That, um...

What

is it?

I don't, uh... I will speak to her. Of course.

You alright?

Yeah. No. You know, I'm not feeling very well.

I think I'm gonna go lay down.

Alright? Okay.

You don't feel warm.

Is this something you ate?

No, it's my head.

I'll be fine in the morning.

Morning.

What's going on?

I don't understand.

Why can't I get back to...

Yeah?

Hey, just got a tip on Petrowski.

Apparently he clashed with some guy he knew from the internet. He bolted this

morning on a tipster. Called it in as soon as he realized that we were looking

for him.

What does this friend look like?

I don't... I'm not doing this again, Mike.

All right, text me the address. I'll meet you there.

Is this gonna be you?

I hope so.

You're not that fun to hang out with.

The feeling's mutual.

I still can't believe.

I mean, murder?

He slept right there. That's, like, crazy.

So how do you know Mr. Petroski?

I found him online.

I needed a programmer for my website. I do real estate.

He was really fast and really cheap, and we got to be friends, at least online.

Then yesterday he calls me up and says there's a problem in his apartment.

Is there a chance that he could crash here tonight? And I'm like...

Bless you.

You have kids?

Two of them.

You know, Roland was allergic too. He couldn't stop sneezing. I actually

thought maybe that was the reason he just bolted without saying goodbye.

And then I saw the news.

Did he say anything about where he was headed?

No.

Nothing.

Bless you. Did he mention anyone else? Anyone specific?

No. Like who?

Like a short guy.

Or... Anyone? Family?

Friends? Anyone?

I wish I could help. I really do. I'm sorry. No.

Bless you.

Huh?

Where before?

We'd like to monitor your calls, if you don't mind.

Yes, please.

What was on this table last night? I don't know. Right here.

There's something... You can see droplets around it. It must have sneezed

around it. It looks like a piece of paper.

It was probably my foreclosure listings.

I had just gotten a new batch in, and then I printed them out, and I was

actually... A list of Bacon House?

Yeah. Can we get a copy, please? Of course.

Keep still.

Nice move. Thanks. I'm sick.

I don't know what's wrong with me.

I tried to see a doctor to have them x-ray my head or something, but they

just sent me home.

I keep having these thoughts.

You don't know what it's like to not be able to control what's in your own head.

Well, I saw the guy at the bus stop.

Somebody just clicked.

I thought all these people, maybe somebody would stop me, but... Why Mr.

Kalmak?

He's always so nice to me.

I don't have many friends.

He would talk to me, maybe help explain to me what to do.

When I was talking to him, I was looking at him, and I couldn't stop staring at

the letter opener on the desk. And I was like, I just... I didn't even know what

was happening until he was... Part of it didn't even feel real. It felt like I

was dreaming.

And then I woke up, and he was dead.

And then he ran.

Where did you go to?

I just drove around.

My head was all messed up.

I called Thompson, but then I thought, what if it happened again? What if I did

something to him? So I just got out of there.

Did you talk to anyone?

No. Why?

Anyone you knew from work, maybe a short guy, dark hair. Detective.

No, what is he talking about?

Mr. Petrovsky, can you give us a minute?

He already confessed. What the hell are you doing?

I just want to make sure we're not missing anything.

You're compromising the case. You plant the idea that we're looking for some

guy, whoever this guy is.

The attorney starts spinning, and all of a sudden there's doubt. The whole thing

falls apart.

It is over. We got him. He confessed.

All right?

Go home.

I'll finish taking the statement.

Hello?

Are you here?

No, no, no, no, no.

Please.

Rex!

Rex!

No,

there's no reason for you to be here. The case is closed.

And yet here we are.

Am I still here?

Why won't you let me get back to my son?

I told you.

I know what you know.

You thought it was about the case, so I thought it was about the case.

What is it about?

Well, maybe it's not about anything.

Maybe Dr. Lee was just right.

Maybe this is all there is. No.

No, I think so.

I won't add that.

There's something.

Michael?

Who are you talking to?

No, I am talking to myself.

Just working something out.

You're feeling all right? Yeah, yeah. It's that, you know, I had a tough

couple of days with the cases.

It's complicated sometimes.

Okay.

You know you're meeting Emma's father today.

No, I can't. Michael, please. Listen, I can't. I'd like... Michael, I feel like

the longer that this goes unresolved, the worse it gets for everybody.

Just talk to him.

I feel like you could really reach him.

Yeah, sure.

Just leave me alone for a few minutes. How can I leave you alone if I'm you?

Just stay here.

As much as you and your wife have seen fit to insert yourselves into my

family's business, this is between Emma, her mother, and myself.

Look, I had no desire to stick my nose in where it doesn't belong.

But you have to understand, she's living in my house.

So I'm forced...

So

I thought if we, you and I, could talk face to face...

My daughter has no idea what she's getting herself into.

She's come to believe that raising a baby will be no more than a hiccup.

Now, her mother and I are trying to impress upon her exactly how isolated,

difficult this whole... Michael, I think you need to see this. Come over here.

Are you listening to me? Over there, look.

Absolutely.

You asked to see me.

I'm not feeling... Michael, look at this.

You've got to see this. Why don't you say what you have to say?

Otherwise, let my wife and I handle things the way... Excuse me.

No, I... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to... Michael, come here.

Michael, I see me.

Through the window, that's me. I see me.

Look, outside the window.

That's me.

I told you to look!

I told you and you wouldn't listen!

I see a little silhouetto of a man's catamouche,

catamouche, will you do the fandango?

Thunderbolts and lightning, very, very frightening. You're destroying a sacred

song. You're killing me. Alright, Rex again.

Are you all right?

I saw someone I need to talk to.

What were you thinking?

You almost got yourself killed.

Hey, where are you going?

I'm pursuing a lead.

Hey, you can't go. You can't leave the accident.

Hey, you can't leave the scene of an accident.

A little heavier on the eyebrows.

Like this?

Yeah.

Can you stretch it out, make it longer?

Stop. Stop, stop.

That's him.

Huh. That's not bad.

You said he was short.

5'5", 5'5", 5'6".

Michael, what's going on? We just got reports of an accident. Not now. Not

now. Harper wants to talk to you. Not now!

Vega.

Can we look for a match?

I know what this is.

What, he's in the system?

This is Ed Hawkins over at the West Bureau.

He's a cop.

Yeah, he's partnered up with Isaiah Freeman.

Bird.

Isn't that your old partner?

Michael, wait. What am I supposed to tell Harper?

Hey.

Hey.

So they shipped me off to Western. We barely talked for a couple of months.

And then you need to meet me in ten minutes?

Sorry.

I just, uh... What do you make of your new partner?

Ed? Well, he seems like good people. You know, he's sharp on the scene, has your

back in the office. Why?

I got something going on, and, uh... I can't figure it out.

Hey, Bert, we gotta go.

Oh, Ed. Hey.

This is Ed Hawkins.

Michael.

Michael Bray. Yeah, yeah, I know.

Bert talks about you all the time.

Mostly has a not-so-subtle way of pointing out I'm slower than his old

partner. Did I see you this morning?

On Beverly?

On Beverly?

Uh, yeah. Yeah, maybe. My doc's right there.

Anyway, good to see you.

Hey, hang on.

Let me ask you something.

I know this is going to sound weird, but... Do we know each other?

I mean, I feel like we work on something. We met somewhere?

You don't remember?

What?

Your accident, Michael.

I was one of the first on the scene.

Tried to help.

Yeah.

I don't remember much.

Yeah, of course.

I can imagine.

Sorry about your son.

Give us a second.

Mike, you all right?

Is this real life? Is this just fantasy?

Caught in a landslide Escape from reality Open

your eyes Look up to the sky I see a little silhouette of a man's

catamouche catamouche Will you do the fandango Thunderbolt and lightning Very

very lightning

This is a sacred song from my childhood.

You're destroying a sacred song. You're killing me.

You want

us to stop?

Mom, they train them to drive like this.

Absolutely. Just watch the curves, okay?

Michael, what's going on?

I talked to Emma. She was crying. She said that you said something or did

something to her father, something about running out into traffic.

What are you doing on the floor?

He's gone.

He's really gone.

He's gone.

Michael.

And it was my fault.

I did it.

Not your fault.

I took our... Our boy.

Our little baby boy.

And I killed him. Look at me.

Look at me.

It's an accident. No, no, no.

I don't... I don't blame you. Oh, you should. You told me to slow down.

Stop it.

It's not okay.

You were trying so hard to stay strong for me.

You don't have to.

Michael, you have to understand that I've always worried that you were

throwing yourself back into the job before you were ready, and I let you do

that because you seemed to need it, and that was my mistake.

But from where we sit now with you chasing imaginary leads and the

department looking at lawsuits and thousands of dollars and property

damage, not to mention, how do I explain that one of my officers ran through

traffic and then ran away from the scene of the resulting accidents?

I'm sorry.

I... I thought I was through the worst of it.

I'm sorry. They're gonna hand down a suspension pending a full investigation

into your actions.

I think you need to take this time to do what you weren't ready or able to do

before.

Just let yourself process.

Let yourself grieve.

And then we'll see where we are.

I killed my son, Captain.

You can keep them.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

What are you doing here?

What do you want from me?

I don't know.

Look, I get it, okay? I remember.

I... I give up.

Can't you just go? Can't you just... Can't you just leave me alone?

Thanks for going to see me and I I apologize for my behavior the other

day The truth is that I don't know if

it's Emma and the baby What and I'm I'm having a lot more

difficulty dealing with Rex's death and I thought and

I know I'm in no position to tell you what to do.

I just wanted to tell you that losing a child is...

is the worst thing that has ever happened to

me.

And to watch you voluntarily cut yourself off from her...

I would give anything.

Anything for one more day.

One more hour.

One more.

One more second with my boy.

You know?

And you can hate her, her decision, or the

baby, or us, but none of it matters.

You just hold her tight and you don't let her go.

Because you never know.

Good joke on you, Dad.

Hi Dad.

Dad?

Thank you.

I don't know what he's saying yet.

Yeah, well, they're talking. It's a start.

It's still kind of hard to believe, huh?

Well, it's just starting to sink in.

Is this a real life? Is this just fantasy?

Caught in a landslide. Escape from reality.

Open your eyes.

Look up to the skies.

I see a little silhouetto of a man's catamouche, catamouche. Will you do the

fandango? Thunderbolts and lightning.

Very, very frightening.

You're killing me.

This is a sacred song from my childhood.

You're destroying it.

All right.

You want us to stop the six?

Mom, they train them to drive like this.

Absolutely. Just watch the curves, okay?

Let's do it again.

Is this the real life?

Is this just fantasy?

Caught in a landslide.

Escape from reality.

Dad.

Dad.

Oh, my boy.

I thought I'd never see you again.

You okay?

Yeah.

You okay, Mr. Redmond?

Okay.

Sorry that we didn't get to you. Dr. Redmond.

Detective Britton?

Can I see you?

Now? If possible.

What's going on? I need to talk something through with someone.

You're the only one I can trust now.

What is it?

I was stuck with Hannah.

And I thought it was because I had to accept or understand...

But it wasn't that at all.

I'm sorry, I don't understand.

There was no accident.

That's what I had to understand.

They were trying to kill me.

Who?

Detective Britton. Who was trying to kill you?

Another cop.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

I'm sure.

I'll meet you in half an hour.
