It's a legitimate question.

What do you think?

Is it booze? Is it flowers?

I mean, what says welcome home, my love?

Two weeks out of town, she didn't forget she was mad, right?

Dog?

I'll buy both.

It's dog cheese!

Somebody!

Hey. Hey, I'm a police officer. You're going to be okay. Tell me what happened.

Tell me what happened.

You took my friend.

Who took your friend?

Hold on. Hang in.

Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on.

Hey, this is Detective Jason Grant. My badge number is 71798.

I need medical response on Broad and 4th.

Teenage female, possibly other victims. All right? Hurry up.

Take care of her, huh?

Got it. Thanks.

Hey,

you on your way?

Don't hate me.

Great start.

You all right?

One eight-hour flight, two screaming babies, and three plain cocktails later,

so no.

Okay, well, listen to me.

Something came up.

I'll get Ursula over to you as soon as I can, all right?

Okay, Jason.

Whatever.

Hey, Gary.

Do me a favor. I got a dog in the car. Will you look after him for a minute?

Thanks. I got your text.

What are we dealing with?

She said that her friends were taken.

From where?

I don't know.

I found a piece of safety glass in her hair.

Oh, no.

She might have been in a car accident.

Yeah, she was pretty banged up. She couldn't have gotten too far.

Anybody hear a car accident in the last half hour or so?

Couldn't hear a squat over the jackhammer, and I think she came from

that direction.

Thanks.

So I guess you got a stay of execution on the Wayne thing.

Why you gotta put it like that?

Because I got clueless George as my partner.

You know she's gonna ice you as soon as she gets the dog back. I told you I got

it covered, okay? Not until you apologize to her.

When's the last time you did it? When dinosaurs were walking around? You don't

get to run commentary, okay?

That's very nice.

Can't see anything. The tent's crazy.

It's locked.

What are you doing?

Following the blood. The sunroof's partially broken. She might have gotten

out this way.

Whoa, whoa, Jay. Hey, we got a problem.

It's like a gunshot wound to the head.

I'll call in.

Kenny, we need to pull through out here. We got a gunshot fatality.

I'll draw that location.

Problem just got worse.

These kids were going to prom.

All right, Homicide is going to take the scene with the dead limo driver.

Okay, got it.

We'll handle the missing kids.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Other than the fact that your stepson is driving me crazy.

Oh, well, sadly, he excels in that area.

I was married to him for three years.

That man could litigate a grocery list.

Oh, so can his mother, who still opines over my life, even though we've been

divorced for ten years.

Hey.

Um, I'm sorry, was I interrupting?

Not at all. What do you got?

Uh, yeah, so I spoke with the limo company, and they confirmed that it was

a prom pickup.

They don't know how many kids were on board, but, um, we may have a potential

escalation here.

What is it?

The car was booked on the credit card of Senator Martha Udall.

Great. Our only witness is in surgery, and the senator's child may have been

kidnapped. Yeah, that's what it looks like.

You find those kids, I'll get you out to Washington.

Yeah. Thanks.

Wait! Let go of me!

What is this?

Where are we? Why are you doing this?

We'll do anything you want. Please, please, just let us go. Shut up and keep

walking.

Hey,

you can't just leave us here.

Call the boss. Let him know they're here.

They're leaving.

Let's get these hoods off.

Come on, come on.

Jesus.

Oh, my God.

Are you in charge here? Yes, Chief Inspector Bill Houston.

Senator Martha Udall, where the hell is my son?

The limo was run off the road.

The driver was found dead.

So we have to work on the assumption that Chase was targeted.

Senator, you have any idea who else was in the limo with him?

I split my time between D.C. and Philly. And it's an election year, so you'll

excuse me if I'm not up to date with who my son might or might not have given a

ride to. We completely understand.

I'm sorry.

We lost his dad when Chase was 10.

I thought about getting out of politics, but I still felt like I could make a

difference.

We're gonna find your son, Senator.

I just want you to brace yourself for ransom demand.

Yeah. In the meantime, we'll issue an alert. Absolutely not.

It's standard operating procedure.

If you issue an alert, there's a thousand trolls will come running. She's

right. Well, if we don't, we're gonna be doing our jobs with one hand tied behind

our back. They'll flood your phone lines, your servers.

Believe me, I know.

All right.

We'll do it quietly.

First step is looking to your known enemies.

Already made a list.

Hey, I may have a lead on who else was in the limo.

I found Chase's, uh, promposal from a few weeks ago.

Please save my heart.

Just say yes.

Just say there's nothing holding you back.

It's not a task, nor a trick of the mind,

only love.

Jane Corgan, I love you. The confetti is biodegradable. Will you please go to

prom with me?

And watch this.

Please, just find him.

Um, the girl, Jane Corrigan, she was most likely in the limo. Oh, the size of

that thing, there might be multiple children in there. Let's find out who

and how many.

Get Detective Grant.

You two are going to prom.

Prom?

Look at you. For once, you're underdressed.

You know, I left high school six months early specifically because of crap like

this. You know?

Yeah. I would tell you I was the prom king.

Really? Yeah. That's kind of a gimme when you're the captain of the football

team. Yeah, I got the cheerleading squad to do my promposal.

There's got to be a video of that.

Under lock and key, you will never lay eyes.

Uh-huh.

Did I mention I am a detective?

Really? Mm. Nice suit.

Didn't know that.

I'm literally having an allergic reaction.

Is it the sequins or the hormones?

I don't know. Both.

What's that all about?

I don't know, but let's make sure that kid Chase doesn't end up on that wall.

Wow. I should really start going to PTA meetings.

Uh... Miss V.

Miss V!

We've got our first puker.

Early bird.

You okay?

Yeah, why?

I mean, I think that was a missed opportunity.

It is not. It was so. I want to focus. I have no idea how to get the attention of

200 overstimulated teenagers.

It's easy.

Hi. How's everybody doing?

Can we kill the music, please?

Thanks. We're police officers.

We need to know if anyone here knows who was riding in the limousine tonight with

Chase Udall, aside from Jane Corrigan.

Excuse me.

Jane wasn't in the limo.

How would you know that?

Because I'm Jane.

You can put the music back on.

Go about your whatever.

Come with us, please.

Chase has been taken?

By who?

Is this about his mom?

Well, that's what we need help figuring out.

Well, I'm sorry. He stopped sharing his location with me, like, a couple days

ago, so... Okay, is that because you turned him down?

Well, I... I didn't. I was... I was gonna be his date. I just... I... We got

into a fight a few days ago, and, like, he just... He ended up taking a friend

of his, um... Annie Werbel.

So Annie Werbel was in the limo. Anybody else?

Um, yeah.

My friend Leah caught a ride.

Her parents' car broke down, so... You know what she looks like?

Yeah, she's got, like...

Like, dark hair, um, and, like, a pink fluffy dress.

That's got to be her girl in the hospital.

She's in the hospital?

Oh, my God.

Annie. She's the girl that used to come over at the beginning of the school

year. They play video games.

She's with him?

We think so.

She's a nice kid, a good influence.

At least he's not alone.

Oh, I'm sorry. That is a terrible thing to say.

Well, it's a terrible situation, Senator. I know.

So no one has reached out yet? Yeah, no ransom demands.

Checked my phone constantly.

Nothing. Your chief of staff is still working with our detectives, so I'm

going to get you set up in my office so you have some privacy, okay?

It's 8.30, Chief Inspector.

It's the quiet end of the news cycle.

If Chase is still missing by dawn, this thing is going to blow up.

I want my son safe, not famous.

Please.

Understood.

Thank you.

I'll let you know as soon as we have news.

That was Annie Werbel's father.

He confirmed she was in the limo.

There's no mother in the picture. He's a long-haul truck driver. He's driving

back tonight. He should be here by midnight.

These kids have been missing for two hours with no ransom demand.

They may not have till midnight.

He said that when Chase transferred to Oakley High top of senior year that

Annie felt bad for him.

Didn't have any friends.

Didn't know anybody.

Oh.

It's a photo.

From her dad.

That's the kid from the video?

Yeah. Things change fast when you're 17.

Do whatever you have to do to survive high school.

Forget high school.

I just hope they can survive through the night.

Appreciate that.

He can call her on herself.

The president says if there's any way he can be of help.

Updates?

Uh, yeah. We went through all of the senator's haters.

Any actionable threats?

Capitol Police charged a Drew Mackey for breaking into her office at the Hart

Senate building.

About two months ago.

Charges didn't stick, but we got a restraining order. Mackey left D.C., so

I ran his financials, and he rented an apartment in Philly two weeks ago.

Bring him in. Now.

Me and these are already on their way, sir.

Okay, I know that the senator wanted to keep Chase's abduction quiet, but there

was another girl taken.

Any whirlpool. We have to issue an alert. No.

You'll have every cop in Philadelphia spinning their wheels on crazy streets.

Yeah, we understand that.

But that is how we find people.

Not this time.

No alerts.

Find another way.

Make it fast.

I never should have gone to prom with you.

If I knew we were going to get kidnapped, I would have stayed at home,

too. Oh, my God. It's not funny, Chase. I mean it. You basically stopped talking

to me after you hooked up with Jane.

Hold on. That's not fair. No.

You got a new haircut, new clothes.

Became a whole new guy, right? One who didn't need me anymore. I just wanted a

fresh start.

Besides, I do need you. Yeah, because you got dumped.

Okay, fine.

If I'm such a douche, then why'd you choose to go to prom with me? Because it

was really hard being your friend, but it's... It's way worse not being your

friend.

I don't know which one of your mother's creepy haters did this, but I can't...

Hey, hey.

She's gonna do exactly what they say. It's all gonna be okay. Listen to

yourself. It is not okay, Chase.

They're gonna kill us.

Do it. I'm sorry.

Just don't.

Yeah, I got a problem with Senator Udall.

Everyone should.

All right, give us the elevator pitch.

She ran on a platform to bring Pennsylvania into compliance with the

climate change guidelines.

Three years in, she hasn't done squat.

Philly's still filthadelphia, and we still have two coal-fired power plants

releasing 14 million tons of greenhouse gas every year. So that's why you took

her kid, Batman, to clean up Gotham.

I want you all to take responsibility for her actions. I would never hurt a

child. What were you at 6.30?

Protesting.

Check my socials.

Mackie is a waste of time.

If he took Chase, he would have hit Senator Udall with a ransom demand to

shut down those power plants. Yeah.

Hey.

So, I dug up Chase's school records because something was bothering me. The

mom, she just, she felt so defensive.

Chase was kicked out of private school for selling dextro amphetamines.

So that explains why he was transferred to public school this senior year. And

why his mother wouldn't have told us. Yeah, and I spoke to the school, and

they believed that he was dealing for a local heavy.

But the senator convinced them not to press charges.

And there's a chance he's still active, which got him grabbed. Great.

Dredging us up is not going to make the senator happy at all.

Well, no alert, no time.

We don't have a lot of choices.

I'll call Mike.

Good work at the bio.

Thanks, boss.

Yeah, Chase, he got in trouble at his old school, but he's changed.

Look, I get it, okay? I can't tell you how many times I woke up with 40s taped

to my hands. Look at me now.

You ever played Edward Forty hands?

Yeah, okay. Anyway, we really want to find Chase, and we're running out of

time. If you know anything about the guys that Chase was mixed up with, tell

us. Look, if... Up until a couple days ago, we did, like, everything together.

Like, if he was dealing again, I would know.

You sure about that?

I

see

that you're taking off your hoods. We won't say anything, I swear.

Listen, my mom will do whatever you want. Just let her go.

How gallant.

I don't care about your mother.

You've created a problem for my employees.

Which means it's a problem for me.

So you're going to help me fix it.

Look, I didn't do anything.

Stupidity is not helping your case.

It's a long way down.

Think about that.

Yeah, I'm with him right now. What was he talking about?

What did you do?

I don't know.

So I checked Chase's email and text. All looks clean.

What about his apps?

Instagram, Snapchat, whatever? Yeah, he doesn't have social media. His mom

probably pulled the plug after he got in trouble at his last school. Wait, what

about that?

Tunnel links. Encrypted messaging.

Yeah, I tried that already. He has two-factor identification on.

I've got missing kids and messages from the White House. There's got to be a way

to get into that thing.

Okay, look, the only solution that I have, just flew back into town, but with

all of this heavy DC vibes, I don't know that you want to be coloring outside of

the lines.

There's kids in danger. Screw the lines.

Do it.

I like it.

Screw the lines.

Hey. Hey.

Good to see you.

This is another guy who's very excited to see you.

Hello.

Who's my good boy?

Hello. Oh, hello, hello, hello.

Yes, I missed you.

Good job.

Oh, great. Thanks.

Hey.

Thanks for coming. Nice to see you. You too.

So you have an issue?

And I know that you need me.

So, let's talk compensation.

We just want to get these kids back, Wayne.

So do I, Jason.

But this is what I do for a living. And you expecting me to do this for free,

it's kind of getting insulting.

Okay, I will make it up to you. I promise.

No. She's right.

She's right? Whose side are you on?

The side that gets us answers faster.

You're hired.

Seriously? Yeah. Civilian contractor.

Effective immediately.

Do the paperwork tomorrow.

We'll make it retroactive.

Great.

What?

Wayne? Wayne.

Why do you want this job? Explain it to me. I don't get it. The pay sucks.

Okay? The rules are insane. Why?

Look, I never thought that I would say this, but I like what we do here.

Hey, yeah, we.

I never thought that I would, but I want this, Jay.

You have no idea what it's going to be like.

When I do jobs for our old bosses, I never know if I'm on the side of the

angels or the devil.

And that never used to bother me.

But now, it does.

Okay, I get it. I get it. That makes sense. But I know you, okay? And I care

about you.

You care about Mike.

You care about Kemi.

I'm not sleeping with them.

Fine. Then you're not sleeping with me either.

What do you mean?

We are done, Jason.

That's what you wanted.

You got it.

What?

And two dumb bunnies took the bait and entered their credentials. That got me

into the system, and I am now redirecting Chase's authentication

prompts back to me. So you are into his messages?

Yeah. Looks like he's been chatting to somebody named TJ.

TJ, we need to talk now.

Can't go into prom, you don't make a deal with me, and then screw me over.

Senator, we may need to consider that this is about a drug deal gone bad.

No.

Occam's razor, Senator.

The simplest explanation is usually right. My son struggled.

But he's learned his lesson.

Senator, there's no ransom demand.

Which means your son is in serious jeopardy.

We have to consider that this kidnapping may be unconnected to you. It may be

about Chase. This isn't my son's fault.

He's a victim.

That's not what we're saying. I know exactly what you're saying.

You're weaponizing my son's past.

We are trying to help.

Look, I can track this guy TJ's phone.

Do you want me to find him or not?

Track the phone.

She dumped you? I don't want to talk about it. Whoa.

She really dumped you? I just said I don't want to talk about it. All right,

fine, all right. Will you focus, please?

Okay? The beacon's good for up to 25 feet. He could be in any building on any

floor. Yeah, well, it'd help if we knew what he looked like. He looks like a

drug dealer, okay? Use your imagination.

Hold up.

He's moving.

That's him. That's him.

Hey!

TJ! TJ!

Philip P.D., you're under arrest.

That was Eaglesworthy.

Found a gun. This is a huge mistake.

No, the mistake was dealing drugs to kids.

I'm not a drug dealer. I'm a lawyer.

Lawyer, huh?

Terrell Jabari.

Admitted to the bar three years ago.

Checks out.

So why's he talking to the senator's son through your messaging app?

You want a lawyer, Terrell?

I am a lawyer.

Yeah, well, not a successful one from the looks of it.

Said here you filed a suit against a car manufacturer.

The airbags are defective. And you lost.

Then another one against a dialysis clinic. They withheld treatment.

And you lost.

See, I'm seeing a trend here.

I went to law school to make a difference, not make a buck.

What do you know about Chase Udall?

Yeah, I'm not playing, man.

What do you know?

He reached out to me.

He's a kid. Why would he do that?

I represented the parents of the students at a school who died of cancer.

The case went nowhere.

I'm still not hearing an answer. Chase was just an intermediary. These rich

boys know to call lawyers, right?

He said some kids at a school newspaper dug up evidence that the cancer may have

been caused by chemicals stored near the school.

What the hell?

And you thought these accusations had merit?

Well, they must have.

Because two nights ago, someone broke into my office.

That's why I had the gun.

That's why I ran from you two.

I was scared.

And that's when you pressured Chase to reach out? He said he'd deliver and he

didn't. The kid totally flaked. But you took it seriously.

Look, man. Up until this week, nobody gave a crap about my cases.

So whoever broke into my office was looking for the evidence Chase was

getting from that girl. Had to be. Whoa, whoa, whoa. What girl? The editor of the

school newspaper.

Jane something.

What was the evidence?

I don't know. I never got it. Chase was supposed to get Jane to hand it over.

All right, hang tight.

Gotta find something to cut these ties off.

You're not just gonna find a storm blade lying around. This isn't Fortnite.

Well, what do you want me to do, Annie? I'm trying. What is the point? They're

gonna kill us.

I don't know what you did, but it was really bad.

I told you I didn't do anything. He said you needed to fix the mess you made.

Ashworth pen chemicals.

This has got to be about the thing that Jane found.

Wait, what thing?

What thing?

The kids that died.

Jane thought it was linked to some chemicals that were stored near the

school.

First I get bullied and now I get poisoned?

High school sucks.

She asked me to tell my mom, but I said no.

So there's poison next to the school, and you just blow it off?

No, no, no. I told this lawyer. I mean, I thought I was doing the right thing,

but it wasn't good enough for Jane, and that's why she broke up with me.

Why didn't you tell your mom?

Ashforth Penn donated to her campaign.

I put her through hell when I got kicked out of Malvern. I don't want to ruin her

career, too.

Y'all get it. Every time she looks at me, I just feel like a disappointment.

I'm a crappy son, a crappy friend.

I don't know. I guess... I guess I wanted to do the right thing for a

change.

I guess sometimes you just gotta restart the game.

You and your friend Jane Corrigan have something my employers want.

Now imagine my surprise when I saw this.

My guy has got the wrong Earl.

Here's your phone.

Text Jane.

No, why would I do that?

This isn't a negotiation.

Okay, okay, okay, okay, I'll do it, okay? Tell her you want to see her now.

Chase, I'm sorry.

Hey, it's got to be okay.

No, he's definitely not okay.

I thought that when his phone came back on, we'd be able to ping him, but they

disabled location services.

Chase is typing.

Or whoever took him is typing.

They're going after Jane. And she has no idea that it's a trap. And once they get

her, those kids are dead.

Call Bill Houston.

What am I supposed to say? Tell them the truth.

That there are armed thugs on their way to prom.

Hey, if you don't get your ass in the dance floor, everyone's gonna know

you're moping over chase music.

Can't let a woman go. Okay, I, um...

The stress is cutting off my circulation. I just have to get some

air. You can breathe at graduation.

Jane. Hey, it's me again.

Hey, you again. Have you seen Jane Corrigan? No. No.

Hey, anybody seen Jane Corrigan?

Uh, yeah. She just left.

Just left? Which way did she go?

That way.

Prom's over. Get everybody out of the building now.

Everyone, please evacuate now. This is not a drill. Go to the designated

relocation points.

Let's go now.

Let's go.

Let's all move calmly, quickly now.

Chase?

Chase?

Annie?

Jane, go!

Go! Run! Run! Get out of here! Jane, run! Go! Go!

Get up.

Let's go. Let's go.

Clear.

Where the hell is she? I don't know. This is gonna take all night.

She's gotta be down here somewhere.

Let's check down there.

Let's go, let's go.

Please, please, please, just let us go. Please let us go. Tell her to stop.

I got you.

I know you're in here, Jane.

I just want to talk.

No, Jane, don't do it. Don't do it.

You don't come out.

Your boy here has exactly five seconds to live.

One.

Two.

Three.

Four.

No, no.

I love you.

I love you.

I love you. You stepped into a world of bad.

When your school newspaper started looking into my employers.

Three kids died.

You were looking for trouble, and you found it. No, no, we weren't looking for

anything. It was an accident. We were, um... It was a senior scavenger hunt,

and we were looking for an old football jersey, so we went to the warehouse

beside the school. We thought that's where the old athletic equipment was

kept. We found barrels labeled Class 6.

Poisonous waste.

So, you started to gather evidence.

Tell me what you have and where it is

Thanks

Let's go

There is documentation a kid from science club took

a sample very noble very

Stupid nobody listens to us. No, no, no not about the climate or the economy

nothing even though it's our future With you little girl now you take me to that

sample and whatever else if you dug up or I will kill Tell

me

where the evidence is

Um, the documents are on my laptop.

Where's your laptop?

Tell me, or you're dead!

Hey,

you

okay? Hey, stay put.

Hey, you guys okay?

Hey, we got him. We need an ambulance to Oakley High.

Stay right here.

I got you.

I'm so sorry.

Well, it turns out I definitely made the right call skipping prom.

Yeah, well, no offense, but you skip out on a lot of good things.

What the hell is that supposed to mean?

I mean, it's kind of ironic that you're going to mess up a relationship because

you're afraid that working together is going to mess up the relationship. You

don't know what you're talking about. I'm not going to mess up the

relationship. I am fixing the relationship. Yeah, yeah. How you doing

that?

I will tell you that when you go talk to her teacher and give her your phone

number.

You know what?

Just might do that.

Yeah? Uh-huh.

Okay. Okay.

But I think you should do something first.

Let me hold that.

I don't want to throw you off your game. If you have game... Well, I got game.

You do? I got endless game. I bet.

Let's see it.

Make it official. Come on.

Yeah, that feels good.

I'm ready.

Yeah, you are.

What about you?

I, uh, I have a Hail Mary to go through.

You know?

All right.

Good luck.

Well, good luck to you.

Come on, guys.

I talked to the hospital.

Leia's out of surgery. She's gonna be okay.

You know, I love my job, but I must say, nothing beats this.

Yeah.

I'm starting to realize that.

Let's take a victory lap.

You deserve it.

Thank you for everything.

Say it, my boy.

Thank you so much. It's our pleasure, Cindy. I just wish you told me what was

going on.

I didn't want to hurt you. I don't want to hurt your campaign.

Honey, I know you want to be the man of the house, but I'm your mother, and it's

my job to protect you. Dad, he always... He would have told you that doing the

right thing always comes before winning, and family before everything else.

Okay? I just love you so, so much.

And your friend Jane's got guts.

You need to get into politics.

Give me an internship this summer.

You got it.

I'm sorry.

I didn't listen to you.

I'm sorry for ruining prom.

Hey, I mean, at least I got my friend back.

On a trial basis.

If you help me boost the llama spawn rate.

The llama spawn rate?

I have no idea.

Oh, it's an us thing.

Got it.

How about I throw an after prom, and you can explain everything to me in the

morning?

Gotcha. Yeah?

Cats were first domesticated over 10,000 years ago. As

humans learned to farm and build settlements, their food stores attracted

rodents, which in turn attracted cats.

Hey, so I got music.

I got a lot of nice sparkly things. The lighting is very classy.

I got a lot. The only thing missing is you.

So, Wayne, will you come to prom with me?

You know, the district attorney is launching an investigation and asked for

pen chemicals.

It's not a bad day.

I mean, the senator owes you a favor now, too?

It's a great day. Hey, it's a great day indeed.

I really, really appreciate how much you've had our back, sir.

Sir was my father.

He was a beast.

So was mine, if it's any consolation.

I'm going across the street for some sushi. You want to join?

Why not?

Come on.

I'm actually with him, Pia.

Thanks.

Hey.

Come here.

I want to show you something.

Hey. Hey.

You, uh, saved me some punch.

Uh, even better, I, uh, showed you the last dance.

Something by Shaggy, I assume?

No, no, I figured we'd, um, stick with a slow dance. That's okay.
