- [Phone Operator] Incoming call from Mandy.

- Hello? - Hey. Yeah, you called.

- Hey.

- [Mandy] Hi.

- Hey, so, uh, Aaron said that you're picking him up

from a game, so I figured I'd drop him off, if that works.

- [Mandy] I'll be coming from a meeting, so, you know,

it would be nice if you could make it there too.

Show a little support.

- Look, it's my last day on the job.

The whole point of this early retirement

is so that I could spend more time with him and you.

Just, just, let me, just let me finish this-

- [Mandy] Can you remind Aaron about his socks?

- His socks? Uh, yeah, sure.

- [Mandy] Great.

(tense music)

(gentle music)

- Hey, morning, champ. You're up early.

- Yeah, coach wants us ready for the big game today.

- Yeah, well, well,

I'm gonna do everything I can to be there.

- Sounds familiar.

- Hey, hey, hey, hey.

I'm doing everything.

Let me make you some breakfast.

- Never before practise.

- Well, I didn't realise you guys practised on game night.

- Yeah, there's a lot that you don't realise, Dad.

- Well, that's all gonna change now, okay?

Is he starting you today?

- Yeah.

- Yeah, atta boy. Atta boy. (laughs)

- Why are you being weird?

- I'm, I'm just excited, that's all.

Look, I know that it's been tough

since Mom moved out.

It's putting time between-

- Can we not do this now, please?

- Yeah.

Yeah, whenever you're ready.

Shower up and I'll take you to school.

- I'm 16, Dad, I can get myself to school.

- Hey!

Your mom mentioned something about socks.

You know what she meant?

- [Aaron] Yeah.

- Okay. Maybe drop the attitude.

- Bye, Dad.

- Yep, yep, yep, yep.

(gentle music)

(Shaw groans)

(tense music)

Good morning, Keyes.

- Morning.

- Just, uh, hanging out by yourself down here?

- Yeah. - Yeah?

- Wanted you to have your coffee.

- Oh, that's very sweet of you.

Wouldn't happen to be

a surprise party in there, would there?

- Just act surprised. (Shaw laughing)

- I'll try my best. (groans)

- [Group] Surprise! (group clapping)

(Shaw laughing)

- Thank you all.

Thank you. Thank you.

- Well, maybe this will fix things at home,

and if not, I know a pretty good divorce attorney.

- (laughs) You know what?

You always say the sweetest things, Pete.

- Just my natural disposition, you know.

- This one.

- It's been fun, Sloan.

- All right, so, so first off, everyone,

I want to thank this man for 20 years plus

of service to this department.

Let's give it up for him.

(group cheering) (group clapping)

- All right! - Thank you. Thank you.

- On behalf of the city,

we'd like to give you this fine looking pen.

Caitlin, would you get in here, please?

Just one quick photo op, if you don't mind.

Detective Shaw right here.

- One, two, three.

(camera clicks)

- There you go.

- You shouldn't have, thank you.

- Yeah, well.

Also, I couldn't help overhearing

you talking to Deacon and him giving you advice.

So, first off, lemme tell you,

as a man that's been married almost 20 years,

you tell her you love her,

you buy her gifts, you give her flowers.

And the number one thing you don't do

is listen to Deacon.

(group laughing) (group clapping)

- Don't worry, Mayor, I won't, I won't.

Thank you for the pen.

- All right, all right, congratulations.

- Mayor Richards, you mind if I have

a moment alone with Shaw?

- He's all yours, Captain.

- Thank you all.

Now get back to work, would ya?

- Nice, man. - Thank you.

- I never thought I'd see the day.

- You're not gonna get all soft on me now, are you, Haas?

Give me a speech?

- All jokes aside, you were one of the best.

Besides me.

(Shaw laughing)

- I appreciate that.

- So what are your plans now?

What does the future hold for the big detective?

- I don't know, Captain.

I just, you know, I'm gonna spend

as much time with my kid as I can

before he heads off to college.

So I was hoping to finish the paperwork up

on the Carter case, so I can head over to his game.

It's been a while.

- Go home and I have Deacon finish the work for you.

- I heard that.

- You sure?

He just got here.

- That's an order.

Go to Aaron's game before something stupid happens.

I take your badge at the end of the day.

You can come back then.

- Okay, thank you.

It's been a pleasure, Haas.

- Unless your cat is on a murdering rampage,

we only deal with humans here.

Good luck.

You can file this under people who love their pets too much.

- [Officer] (laughs) Yes, detective.

- After you.

Hi. I'd like to report a murder. (laughs)

- Show me your hands.

Take your right hand outta your pocket.

- You gotta be more convincing than that.

- Right hand out of your pocket now.

- See, that's better.

- Drop the knife.

Drop it.

(knife clatters)

Turn around and face away from me.

Do it!

- [AJ] Now we're getting somewhere. (laughs)

- Get down on your knees.

Put your hands on your head.

Boo! (dramatic music)

Yes. (laughs)

- Stop resisting.

- No, no, see,

this is the response we expect

(laughs) out of our police force.

(AJ groans) (tense music)

- All right, kid, let's start from the top.

- I'm only talking to Detective Shaw.

- Detective Shaw isn't here.

- Well then you better get him here.

(phone ringing) (phone buzzing)

- Yeah. - It's me.

- Yeah, I know.

Couldn't wait an hour, huh?

(Keyes sighs)

- We've got a kid here.

There's blood.

He's asking for you.

Won't say a word to anyone else.

- Hi, detective. - Is that him?

- [Keyes] Yep.

- You got a name, age?

- Nothing.

(tense music)

- All right.

Gimme, gimme 10 minutes.

- Far as I can tell, he'll wait.

(tense music)

- That was a quick retirement.

- Yeah. Where is he?

- In the viewing room. Come on.

(door buzzes) (tense music)

- Oh, this better be good, Haas.

- I'm gonna follow up these labs,

find out whose blood that is.

(tense music)

- Anything?

- Nothing.

- Do you recognise him?

- No. Fingerprints?

- Tried.

Get this, kid's fingertips, all burned.

Couldn't get a clean print.

- All right.

(tense music)

(door buzzes)

(AJ laughing)

So I hear you wanted to talk to me?

- Yes, I very much do, Detective Shaw.

I have so much pertinent information for you

to write down on your notepad.

- Okay. Yeah, we'll get to that.

Let's start with the basics.

Can I get your name, please?

- You already know my name.

- Uh, no, I don't.

- Yes, you do.

- No, I don't.

Anyway, it doesn't matter.

Your age?

(Shaw sighs)

Look, if you're a minor,

you need to be accompanied by an adult.

- [AJ] You don't have to worry about that.

- [Shaw] What do I have to worry about?

- Everything that I'm trying to tell you.

- Well, there is a murder, right?

- Oh yeah.

But the blood's on your hands. (sniffs)

- The blood's on my hands?

- Mm-hmm.

Well, you and your ilk.

- My ilk?

- (laughs) They know.

- Okay. What do they know?

I'm sorry, am I, am I getting ahead of you?

- Don't patronise me.

- You know what, let's talk about the murder, okay.

- Not the murder. Them.

- Them? The, the, the people of my ilk?

- Yes. Exactly. - Right?

- Because of who you are, people listen to you, right?

You would say that, people listen to you.

But because of who I am, no one listens to me.

- I'm listening.

- Yeah, now you're listening.

Are we that different?

Would you say that my word is worth less somehow?

Are we that dissimilar?

- Probably.

- Hmm.

- I don't know you and you don't know me, so.

- Well, no, no, I know enough about you. (coughs)

I know that you're not perfect,

and we are humans, so we make mistakes,

and sometimes those mistakes come back to haunt us.

- I guess.

- Today, you are going to be haunted.

(tense music)

(door buzzes)

- Shaw, you got a minute?

- Yeah. (AJ laughing)

- Right on time. (laughs)

See you soon.

(tense music)

- All right, Deacon.

Look, if you're gonna come in there-

- Look, we got the results of the blood on the kid.

Three vics, human.

One A+, one A- and one B+.

We got a serial killer.

- We may have a serial killer.

(Deacon chuckles)

- Let me at this kid.

I'll get him to talk.

- Right, the kid asked to talk to me.

Let me see where I get with them.

Now, if you wanna sit in there

and observe silently, fine,

otherwise I do the talking, you understand?

(tense music)

(door buzzes)

Well, it looks like we have some new information-

- I see you brought deputy cocksucker.

- Excuse me, asshole? - Let it go, detective.

Just let it- - Who did you kill?

I want names now!

No, right now!

- Hey! Hey! (Deacon groans)

Get in here.

Get 'em in here.

- Stay down. Don't move!

Get his hands.

Call the medic now!

- Get down. - Medic!

(dramatic music)

- Brother, don't you die on me.

Partners for life, remember?

(dramatic music)

Captain.

- Go, go with your brother.

(tense music)

- What the hell happened here?

- Trying to find out, sir.

- Trying?

Trying's not good enough, Detective.

How does this happen in our precinct, Captain?

- I understand your frustration,

but there's a procedure.

- I don't give a damn about your procedure.

He just stabbed a cop.

- Why don't you calm down?

(sighs) I gotta get ahead of this.

(train horn honking) (alarm bells ringing)

(tense music)

- Is it me or does he seem too calm?

- The precinct is now an active crime scene.

Press is gathering.

I need to call Deacon's wife.

(Shaw sighs)

- How the hell do you explain this?

- I don't know.

(tense music)

(door buzzes)

- Where is that son of a bitch?

Move outta the way.

I said move outta the way, assholes.

- Hey, hey, hey. What's going on?

- I'll tell you exactly what's going on.

That piece of shit killed my brother.

- What?

- These jackasses are trying to protect him.

- He, he, he killed him?

- Deacon's dead.

- Oh, shit.

(tense music)

- Just gimme five minutes, Shaw.

Come on, just five minutes.

Come on!

- Sloan, you know that I can't let you do that.

- You gonna stop me?

- I, I get it.

I get it and I'm sorry to hear about your brother,

but this is too personal for you now.

You need to calm down and let me do my job.

- This kid just graduated from suspect to cop killer.

It ends now, Shaw.

- Guys, hold him back, please.

- You gonna protect the cop killer, really?

Don't touch me. Don't touch me!

- Whose side are you on, Shaw?

- The right side.

- This isn't over!

- Let's go.

(door buzzes)

- Oh, Shaw, thank God.

I have worked up a very big appetite.

I'm starving.

- That man had a family, and now he's dead,

so we have everything we need to put you away.

- I gave you everything you need to put me away.

I gave it to you.

You know what I don't have though

and I really need is some chips.

I saw that we passed a vending machine on the way in,

and I didn't get a chance to eat breakfast this morning.

- You want some chips?

- I'm really hungry.

- Tell me about the murder.

- Which one?

- There's more than one?

(AJ groans)

- Come on. (sighs)

You already knew that.

It's, it's not that easy.

There are steps.

(phone ringing) (phone buzzing)

- Shit.

- Answer it.

- Shut up.

Yeah.

- [Mandy] Do you have Aaron?

- What? No.

Isn't he in school?

- He's not at school.

- [Mandy] He's not at school.

They called me to say he never showed up.

(AJ laughing) (tense music)

- Well, I, I, I'm sure he is fine.

I'll, I'll find him

and I'll, I'll give you a call back.

- [Mandy] Wait, Matt, hold on. Wait!

- Trouble with the family?

I can help you. (laughs)

Call him.

(phone beeping)

(phone ringing)

Hi, you've reached

the personal voicemail box of Aaron Shaw.

He's not able to come to the phone right now.

He's in a bit of a pickle,

so hopefully he'll call you back within 10 hours.

(phone beeps)

(tense music)

- What did you do with my son?

- I buried him, alive.

- Bullshit.

- I can show you.

I don't have my phone, so I'd need yours.

(tense music)

Now.

(ominous music)

(AJ laughing)

- What, what, what's the timer for?

- I'm glad that you asked.

The timer is telling you

that he has less than nine hours of oxygen left

before he loses consciousness.

He'll die, so. (sighs)

(dramatic music)

(Shaw groaning)

- Where is he?

- You kill me, you kill him.

(Shaw panting)

- What do you want?

What do you want?

(AJ coughing) (tense music)

- What do I want?

I want you to do your job before you retire.

There are three murders that I need you to solve,

and then I'll tell you where your son is.

I would start by finding his phone. (pants)

That'll lead you to the first case.

And don't bring your stupid friends into this.

This is between you and me.

Now, go. Go!

Tick-tock, tick-tock.

(AJ panting) (tense music)

(door buzzes)

- What did he say to you, Shaw?

- Gimme just a few minutes.

Come on, just gimme one minute with the guy.

(Sloan yelling) (metal banging)

- What're you gonna do, Sloan?

You gonna beat him up,

with cameras and witnesses everywhere?

You're gonna throw

your whole goddamn career down the toilet.

Go home. Go home!

Don't let him in there.

(Sloan yells) (door buzzes)

- Stop it!

(door buzzes)

- Hey, you okay?

- I, uh, I really need your help.

- Anything. What do you need?

- I, I can't tell you right now.

I just need to know that you're with me, okay?

- Always.

- Keep your phone on

and don't tell anybody that I left.

(crowd yelling indistinctly)

- All right, all right.

Settle down. - Mr. Mayor.

- [Reporter] Who have you found?

- Firstly, I wanna send my deepest condolences

to the entire Deacon family.

And I want them to know that we will not stop

until this killer is brought to justice.

And when I ran for mayor,

I made a pledge to you good people

that I would not only keep my family safe, but yours too.

And that includes the brave men and women in blue

who serve us every single day.

Now, we lost one of our own here.

This one's personal.

- Mr. Mayor, Mr. Mayor. - One at a time,

one at a time.

- Go ahead, sir.

- What do you have to say about the recent allegations?

- These are not allegations, all right?

We caught a kid red-handed in the station with a knife.

We're gonna prosecute

and I'm gonna put this guy away for life.

(crowd yelling indistinctly)

(Shaw panting) (tense music)

- Oh, shit. (phone ringing)

Hey. - Did you find him?

- Look, I, I can't really get into it right now,

but yes, I'm, I'm gonna find him.

- [Mandy] You are freaking me out, Matt.

Where's my son?

- Look, we have a kid in holding and, and,

and he took him.

- [Mandy] He took Aaron?

What do you, what do you mean?

- I will give you an update as soon as I have one, okay?

I promise you, I'm gonna tell you-

- [Mandy] You find my son, Matt.

- I will find him, I promise.

- Shit. I'm so sorry, Matt.

Let me bring this to Haas, he can help.

- No, not yet.

I told Mandy, but no one else can know.

I need a favour.

(door buzzes)

(radio chattering indistinctly)

(tense music)

(door buzzes)

- Are those for me?

- They're from Detective Shaw.

(bottle banging)

He filled me in.

I'm guessing the woman you killed

wasn't a good listener.

- No, she was not.

- The kid in the photos with the face scratched,

is that you?

Another metaphor?

Victim was Victoria Hewitt.

Was she your social worker?

- She was, and she wasn't a very good one at that.

Tell me, Detective Shaw,

do you like my game?

- You think this is a game?

- It is a game, and I know he's on the phone.

Hello, Detective Shaw.

(phone beeps)

- [Keyes] You're on speaker, Shaw.

- Shaw, did you find the clues? (laughs)

- [Shaw] Where's my son? Where is he?

- I told you this is the first murder.

There are three in total.

You have under eight hours

before your son loses oxygen.

I'm getting so tired

of you trying to bully the information out of me.

Follow the clues like a real detective would!

- What is this about?

- Retribution.

These chips are fucking stale.

(tense music)

(train horn honking)

your destination will be on the left.

- How bad?

- It's, it's, it's bad.

What if I can't find him?

What if, what if I get there and it's too late?

- Nope. No way.

Aaron's alive.

The kid said you had 10 hours.

- What's that, seven hours, 20 minutes now.

- Get moving.

You know where you're going?

- Yeah.

- [Keyes] Send me the information about this one.

- Okay. Anything new on the kid?

- We got the social workers' records,

but she had 150 cases.

Captain Haas has a couple detectives looking into it but-

- Oh, that's a long shot.

- Yeah.

The kid in the photo,

we're talking abuse over years, right?

- Yeah, Deacon, Deacon handled all crimes against children,

so if there's anything, it's gonna be in his files.

- Copy that.

Matt. - What?

(tense music)

- What does any of this have to do with you?

- I have no idea.

(tense music)

(door bangs)

- You wanted to see me?

- Gimme your phone.

- My phone? - Yes. Now.

(phone whooshes and clicks)

(tense music)

(dramatic music)

(phone ringing)

- Hey. - Matt, where is he?

- Mandy, I'm doing everything I can.

You gotta trust me.

- Trust you?

Matt, my son is in danger.

- Our, it's our son!

I, I'm not gonna stop until I find him.

Do you understand me? (phone ringing)

Look, Mand, I gotta...

Look, I know you're scared, okay?

I know you're scared,

but we are gonna be okay, all right?

I gotta go. Bye.

Did you get an identity on him?

- Whose identity, Shaw?

- I'm sorry. He made me.

- He's paying back some kind of debt

and you are on his list, Shaw.

You need to come in now.

What does he have on you?

- God damn it, Captain, just-

- No, detective, or it will be your badge.

- My, I'm retired, remember?

- Not for another five hours.

- This is getting way outta hand.

You have to tell him.

- Tell me what?

You need to come in right now.

- [Keyes] You gotta let some people in, Shaw.

You can't do it all yourself.

(gentle music)

- He took my son.

What if it was your kid, Haas?

What if somebody took Nate?

You would do everything in your power to get him back.

Now, I am asking you for a little more time.

I'm not asking for much but-

- Is that Shaw? I want him here now.

- Haas, you owe me this.

(tense music)

- All right, keep going,

but I put you on a tight leash.

- Keep going. Did you just hear what I said?

Bring him in now, or it's your badge too, Captain.

- Haas.

- Do what you gotta do then get your ass back here.

- [Shaw] Understood.

(door bangs)

- I'll call you back.

- 1763 Stockton Ave.

(Haas sighs)

- Daniella Whitby, 35.

- This is Haas.

- Hey, I'm headed over to Woodington High right now.

Have a unit meet me there.

- Who are we going after?

- I just sent you a photo.

Try to find out who she is.

- Shaw, tell me this one is alive.

- I think we finally found somebody

who's not on the hit list.

(tense music)

(car engine rumbling)

(tense music continues)

How you doing, officer?

Please. Thanks.

(tense music)

Do you know who this is?

- This is Jackson Adams.

He was in my Spanish class.

He, he died recently.

- How?

- He killed himself.

He was a great kid.

I, I really enjoyed having him in my class.

- And, and what about the other boy?

- AJ Adams, his brother.

He's about five years older.

They were tight, like real brothers.

AJ was always very protective of Jackson.

- And why did, why did Jackson kill himself?

- I don't know.

Maybe because he couldn't take the abuse anymore.

Jackson came in with a broken collarbone

a month after he got the cast off his arm.

I reported Daniella,

his foster mom several times to the police.

They said they were handling it.

- Do you remember any names?

- A detective.

I have his card somewhere.

- Okay, and, and, and tell me more about AJ.

- Like I said, he, he was a lot older than Jackson.

He was a very smart kid.

I, I remember thinking

he was one of the smartest I ever taught.

Jackson had it bad,

but AJ, he had it way worse.

He just never said anything about it.

He was the reason why I knew to look for signs in Jackson,

not that I had to look any harder.

These kids, they were beaten pretty badly.

- Did you, did you report any of this?

- Of course I did.

You think I didn't? - No, no, no.

I, I believe you.

But I'm just wondering,

(sighs) was there anything wrong with AJ?

- He was quiet, kept to himself,

except when it came to Jackson.

That's the only thing that ever got him worked up.

- Do you think it's possible that AJ

could be capable of murder?

- Well, with the psychological trauma

on top of the physical abuse-

- That's a perfect storm.

(tense music)

- Ah, here, I found it.

Um, Detective Deacon.

- Oh my God.

(tense music)

Thank you.

(tense music continues)

- Hey, detective. - Detective.

Just a minute.

Just a minute of your time, detective, please!

- What do you need?

- Nothing. Thank you.

- We're gonna find Aaron, I promise.

- Go and tell them that.

(group chatting indistinctly)

- [Officer 1] Call the pharmacy.

(group chatting indistinctly)

- [Officer 2] Got it?

(group chatting indistinctly)

(tense music)

- Thank you.

(group chatting indistinctly)

- Police saw the car.

I'm gonna be in Shaw car, okay?

- You ready? - Shaw!

Sit down now.

- You called in SWAT?

- Was I the only one out there just now?

- I want this kid moved.

I want him moved right now.

- We're ready to move him.

- No, you can't.

- We sure as shit can.

I don't take orders from you.

- I'm not done with him yet.

- He's not safe here, Shaw.

- I said I want the kid moved.

- He kidnapped my son!

- What?

- Yes.

I've been running around all morning,

three murders, all staged

and I still don't know why or,

or where my son is.

(tense music)

But I, I need more time.

- You got 20 minutes.

- Thank you.

- Thanks, Haas.

20 minutes, Shaw, he said 20 minutes.

- Okay, you heard him, 20 minutes.

- Let's go everyone, back to work.

(group chatting indistinctly) (tense music)

(door buzzes)

- I'm right behind you.

- All right, kill the cameras.

(door bangs)

You have my attention.

- Did you go to the school?

- I did.

- And how is Maria?

(sniffs) She always had a soft spot for me.

- Not that soft.

She always said there was something wrong with you.

- Ow, my heart.

Is that supposed to hurt?

- Not as much as Jackson's death, I suspect.

(AJ chuckles) (tense music)

- Touche. (chuckles)

- You know, I could say the same about you, AJ.

Everyone thought you killed Deacon for no reason,

but I have a sneaky feeling that

that was all planned, right?

(AJ laughing) (tense music)

- I almost thought he wasn't gonna come at me. (laughs)

- Everything was planned. - Yes.

(tense music)

- Did they really have to die that way,

you sick son of a bitch?

- You tell me.

- Well, Daniella was cruel.

I saw the photos, it was awful.

So I guess I can understand that one.

But the, the, the, the rest of them.

- You don't even know the half of it, Shaw.

- The other two, the social worker

and the guy that worked at the Big Brother house.

That was, it was too much.

- Was it? - Yeah, it was.

- I sent countless complaints, countless.

She ignored every one.

She's the reason Jackson's dead.

- So the guy at the Big Brother house,

how long did you actually know him?

- Long enough for him to know.

- And it was enough for you to hang him

and cut his god damn tongue out?

- I didn't hang him.

You hung him when you opened the door

and you knocked over the two by four.

So how does that feel, Shaw,

seeing someone die because you neglected to pay attention?

And Jackson and I weren't just neglected

by our foster mother.

No, she didn't just forget to feed us once or twice.

This was institutional.

(tense music)

In fact, it was enforced.

They took Jackson every week. (sighs)

Every...

(AJ sighs)

(tense music)

And every time he would come back

with more bruises, just like me.

- Look, I get it.

You and Jackson were screwed over by the system.

I, I, I totally understand that.

But my son, my son had nothing to do with any of this.

Where is Aaron? Where is he?

- Aaron, you neglected Aaron too,

from what he says.

Married to his job, how cliche.

You couldn't even go to one of his ball games.

He cried like a bitch,

and he didn't even think to call out your name.

(AJ groaning) (dramatic music)

You gonna do this again?

- I'm not gonna ask you again.

Where's my son?

- I buried him.

Not much time left.

- Tell me where he is. Where is he?

- Now, we can get there before he runs outta oxygen.

We have to go together.

- We? (AJ coughing)

What do you mean we?

(AJ sighs)

- You think this is over, don't you?

This isn't over.

I know you want to see him. (pants)

We're gonna go together and I'll show you,

otherwise he's dead. (pants)

(tense music)

(door buzzes)

(AJ spits)

(AJ pants) (door bangs)

- Ready to go, Captain.

- Hey, hey, I, I need to take the kid with me.

- Excuse me.

- He won't tell me where he is, so he has to show me.

- Well, that's not gonna happen.

- Hell no.

- God damn it.

He buried him alive.

- Jesus.

- And he's almost outta oxygen,

so I need, I need to,

I need to take the kid with me now!

Now!

- I have an idea.

(door buzzes)

- You'll put these on.

- I ain't wearing those,

and I have all day.

Aaron doesn't.

- Don't worry, I'm not gonna lock 'em.

Hurry up.

(drone beeping)

(radio chatting indistinctly)

(drone whirring) (tense music)

(car engine rumbling)

(door bangs)

(guns clicking)

Okay, we gotta roll out.

Let's move!

(tense music)

(tense music continues)

(drone whirring)

(sirens wailing)

(sirens wailing)

(tense music continues)

(drone whirring)

(AJ sighing) (hand cuffs rattling)

- Thank you, Detective.

- All right, you ready?

- Absolutely.

- All right, SWAT's gonna lose us

while we're transferring you.

It's not a lot of time, but it's enough.

- Better be.

- And he's here to make sure

you don't torture Aaron's whereabouts outta me.

- Something like that.

- Is that what you want to do, torture me? (laughs)

- Don't answer that.

(sirens wailing) (dramatic music)

- [Shaw] Which way am I going?

- Turn right.

(sirens wailing) (dramatic music)

- [Officer 1] Car two. Come in, car two.

- Car two. Go ahead.

- [Officer 1] Car two, we lost visual on the lead car.

Do you have a visual?

- We do.

- [Officer 1] Haas.

- I, uh, can't hear you. (radio whirring)

You're breaking up.

- What are you doing?

- We gotta let them get ahead of us.

- What?

- Just a minute or two.

- Detective, are you giving me an order?

- I'm asking. Please.

(tense music)

- Which way?

Which way?

- Left.

(tense music)

- Why murder, AJ? Huh?

I know these people did terrible things,

but, but murder.

- I tried doing it your way several times, in fact.

It didn't work.

- Yeah, well, killing isn't usually the next step.

- I have your attention now, don't I?

- Not every kid who was abused turns to murder.

- You don't know what they did to us.

Turn right.

(tense music)

- Who's they, huh?

Are, are there more?

- We weren't alone.

- What aren't you telling me?

Hey, what aren't you telling me?

What did they do to you?

(upbeat rock music)

- They made us fight.

(crowd yelling) (upbeat rock music)

(fists whacking) (fighters groaning)

Whenever they got bored.

(fists whacking) (fighters groaning)

An underage fight club.

(fists whacking) (fighters groaning)

These vultures put us in a ring

till only one of us was left standing.

(fists whacking) (fighters groaning)

- [Crowd Member] Finish him!

- [AJ] Now, if we won, we'd get certain privileges.

(crowd yelling) (upbeat rock music)

(fists whacking) (fighters groaning)

(crowd yelling continues)

(fist whacking)

(fighter yelling)

(fists whacking) (fighters groaning)

But if we lost, probably in the medical room for a week.

- [Crowd Member] Come on!

(crowd yelling indistinctly) (upbeat rock music)

- [AJ] Or worse.

(fists whacking) (fighters groaning)

(crowd yelling indistinctly) (upbeat rock music)

Dead.

(crowd yelling indistinctly) (upbeat rock music)

- Jesus.

But it still doesn't excuse what you did,

and my son had nothing to do with this.

- You don't get it.

This is bigger than us.

I'm just the tip of the iceberg, Shaw.

Cops on the take,

and it goes all the way to the top.

The big donor.

- What big donor?

(phone ringing)

(tyres screeching)

(car smashing) (glass shattering)

(tone beeping)

(tense music)

(Shaw panting)

(Shaw groaning)

(Shaw coughing)

(Shaw panting)

(tense music)

(Shaw groaning)

Sloan!

Sloan, drop it!

Drop it!

- Stay in the car.

This is almost over.

- Drop it! (gunshot firing)

(Sloan groaning)

Hey!

(Sloan yelling) (dramatic music)

- You son of a bitch, you shot me!

- Just keep pressure on it.

You'll thank me later.

- You have no idea.

This is bigger than both of us! (groans)

- Officer down on the corner of Capitol and Leek.

Send a paramedic.

(Sloan groaning) (dramatic music)

(Shaw groans)

- AJ. AJ!

Where is he?

Where's my son?

- Just one more mystery to solve, Shaw.

- No, I am done.

I did everything you asked me to do.

- Shut up!

You're so close,

and he's only got minutes left of air,

so you better choose your questions carefully.

- I figured out the social worker.

I figured out your mom.

- Foster mother.

- The BSA guy, the, the ex-boyfriend,

I don't get that one.

- What do you mean?

I, I reported the fighting to him,

and then Daniella claimed that I was a kid acting up.

And because she's hot and he's a pig,

he kicked me outta the Big Brother programme.

He saw the bruises up close and did nothing.

- Then you report it to the police.

You let them do their job.

- I did!

- What? - To you!

(tense music)

I reported it to you.

- What are you talking about?

(tense music)

- They cremated him

before I even got a chance to see him.

(tense music)

They said he killed himself.

But we both know that's not what happened.

- What happened?

- He died.

In his last fight, he was killed.

And then they covered their tracks

by burning his body

and putting him in a fucking box.

They didn't even give me an urn!

Gave me a fucking shoebox.

- AJ, I'm running outta time.

I did everything you asked me to do.

Where's my kid? - Well, he deserved better.

- Where's my kid?

- [AJ] So tell me, Shaw-

- I did everything you asked me to do, come on!

- Would you be satisfied

if this was Aaron's grave?

Would you be satisfied?

(gunshot firing) (Shaw groaning)

- God damn it.

Son of a bitch. (groans)

No, no, no. (groans)

(gunshot firing) (dramatic music)

(AJ groaning) (Shaw groaning)

(fist whacking) (Shaw yelling)

(Shaw groaning) (AJ panting)

Why are you doing this to me?

- You failed us!

- How did I fail you?

- Think, Shaw.

- Think about what? - Think back.

Five years ago, I came to you.

I told you about the foster home.

I told you about the fighting.

Think.

(Shaw panting) (tense music)

- [Deacon] Shaw.

- Oh, hey, Deacon.

What's up?

- Yeah, um, what was all that?

- What?

Oh, that kid? - Yeah.

- I don't know.

He, he said something about some bad stuff

happening over at the foster home on Collins.

Something state sponsoring,

underground fighting or something.

- Let me guess. Kid's name's AJ.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, AJ.

You know him?

Maybe we should go over there and check it out.

- Look, we've been out there a half dozen times.

There's nothing there.

But I'll look into it.

- Okay.

Well, are you sure you don't want my help?

- Nah, I'll handle it.

- Okay. One less thing I gotta do.

- Yeah, all right.

- All right, see ya.

(tense music)

I handed it off to Deacon.

- I didn't go to Deacon.

I came to you.

- He told me he handled it.

- You neglected us, just like everyone else.

- Look, I should have handled it myself.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

(AJ groans)

(gentle music)

- You're the first person to apologise.

(Shaw groans)

- Look, if I could change the system, I would.

I really would.

- I really hope you mean that.

(sirens wailing) (dramatic music)

Before I go, I have one more clue for you.

- No, no.

Where's my son?

(sirens wailing) (dramatic music)

- They always told us this would be

the last house on the block for us.

- What are you, what are you doing?

Hey!

(dramatic music)

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

- I think it's time I see my brother.

- AJ. No, no.

- He's got a gun. - No!

AJ stop, please!

Wait! The gun's empty.

It's empty!

- Put the gun down right now.

- Don't shoot him.

Don't shoot him!

(gunshots firing)

No, no!

(Shaw groaning)

No, no, no!

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

It was empty. - What?

- Hey, hey. Hey.

Don't you go dying.

Listen to me.

Hey, I played your game.

I did what you told me to do.

Now where is he?

Come on. Where is he?

- The last house on the block.

- Last house.

- Last house on the block.

The Johnson house. The abandoned one.

(AJ panting) (tense music)

(Shaw groaning) (dramatic music)

- Aaron!

(Shaw panting) (dramatic music)

(Keyes panting)

Aaron!

Aaron!

Aaron!

(Shaw groans)

Aaron!

Aaron!

- I'm so sorry, Matt.

We're too late.

- No. - He's gone.

- No, he's. (pants)

(dramatic music)

(Shaw panting)

It's gotta be it.

He's gotta be in here.

Dig, dig! (groans)

We're coming, Aaron!

(Shaw groaning)

Grab that shovel.

Come on, Aaron!

Aaron!

(Shaw panting) (dramatic music)

(Shaw groaning) (shovel crunching)

Hang on, Aaron.

(Shaw panting)

(door banging)

There it is.

(sirens wailing) (dramatic music)

Get that paramedic in here.

(Shaw groaning) (dramatic music)

Come on. Come on.

Come on. (pants)

Get him out. Get him out. (groans)

One, two, three.

(Shaw panting) (Keyes panting)

(tense music)

Aaron, I got you, I got you.

(Shaw panting) (tense music)

Come on. Get him oxygen.

Come on.

(Shaw groaning)

Come on. Come on, Aaron!

Come on, buddy.

(Shaw groaning) (tense music)

Come on. (Aaron coughs)

Yeah. - Dad!

(Shaw groaning)

Oh, Dad.

(Shaw groaning) (gentle music)

Dad! Dad.

(Shaw sobbing) (Aaron sobbing)

- Up, up, come on.

(Shaw panting) (gentle music)

You're all right, bud.

You're gonna be all right.

(Shaw panting) (gentle upbeat music)

Okay.

I'm gonna take you to the hospital, all right?

I'll be right behind you, okay?

I'll be right behind you, kid.

All right.

All right, I'll see you there.

Let's get in.

All right.

(door tapping)

(sirens wailing)

Can I use your phone?

Thanks.

(Shaw panting) (gentle upbeat music)

- [Mandy] Hello?

- Hey Mandy, it's me.

- [Mandy] Oh my God. Did you find him?

- Yeah, we got him back.

We got him back.

All right, meet me at the hospital.

(gentle upbeat music)

(birds singing)

So I'm gonna pick you up from school at 2:30.

Mom will pick you up from here at four.

- Dad, I'll be fine.

- I know, but I'm still your dad

and I still worry about you.

- He can't hurt us anymore.

- No. - Yeah.

What is this?

- Chocolate muffin.

Have some, maybe banana too.

- Your coach approve of that?

Have an orange.

(Aaron laughing) (Shaw laughing)

(group cheering) (group applauding)

All right, all right, all right, all right.

- Welcome back, Detective. Miss us?

- Well, yeah, except for Larry over here.

(everyone laughing)

Missed the rest of you though.

Good to see you. Take care.

All right.

Hey, come here for a second.

Yeah.

So, um, I've had a lot of time to think about this,

and we know the Deacon was involved.

- Are we still doing this?

- Listen, Sloan said something.

He said that this thing is bigger than either of us.

- We're still doing this.

Okay. What does that mean?

- Well, AJ mentioned that the man

that would make him fight,

they only knew him as the great donor,

which makes me think we just need to follow the money.

- You need a driver?

- Yeah, let's go.

(gentle music)

(dramatic music)

- Oh, hey, I know you.

You've been all over the news.

What can I do for y'all?

- Yeah, we're here about one of your donors.

- Oh?

- We need to access your donor database.

We're doing some follow ups after a recent case.

- Oh, yes, that's been all over the news too,

and not in a good way.

Giving Clinton a total bum wrap.

- Where can we find that database?

- That would be Mrs. Richards.

She handles all that for us.

- The mayor's wife?

- The one and only.

She and her husband do a lot of good work for Clinton

and the foster care system,

but that doesn't seem to make the news.

Anyway, her office is right over there.

He's kind of cute.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- [Jill] You're welcome.

(door knocking)

- Mrs. Richards.

Hi, I'm Detective- - Detective Shaw.

Happy to see you're okay.

You're a hero.

How's Aaron?

- He's, he's great. Thank you.

This is Detective Keyes.

You mind if we have a seat real quick?

- Please.

- Thank you.

- What can I do for you?

- Uh, do you know about

the, the foster case we just worked?

We think that there may be a connection

to Jackson's death, that's AJ's brother.

- Oh, I, I'm sorry,

I don't know much of the details

besides what I've read online.

How can I help?

- We're looking for a large monthly donation of,

I don't know, 20, $25,000.

- Oh, well, I, I don't really know any people

that do that, besides the city.

We provide most of the funds

really just to keep the homes afloat.

- So it comes from the mayor's office?

- Well, technically it comes from the state,

but my husband is a huge supporter of foster care

and he allocates a lot of money that way.

These children are our future, you know?

- Mm. They sure are.

(tense music)

I think that's it. Thank you.

- Anytime.

(tense music)

- You have that look in your eyes.

- I got a hunch.

- What?

- I don't know yet. Follow me.

(tense music)

- Oh no, he's on the call.

You can't-

- And I am the mayor and that's.

- I'm sorry, sir. They just barged in.

- That's okay, Jill.

Sorry, I gotta call you back.

Detective Shaw, the hero.

What can I do for you?

- Why didn't you tell me about the man?

- The man?

- Yeah, the man that forced foster kids

into underground fighting.

- I dunno what the hell you're talking about.

- The man, the man who AJ

and and Jackson were taken to every week

and forced to fight other kids

for his own entertainment and financial gain.

I'm talking about you.

- Me? - Yeah.

- Get, get the hell outta my office.

- We talked to your wife.

She said you've been sending quite a bit of money

to the foster agency.

- You talked to my wife?

- Why so much money?

- Because I'm trying help these kids.

- Bullshit. - Excuse me?

- I got this, this,

this really sick feeling in my stomach

last time I saw you at the precinct.

(dramatic music)

- Man, that's not a good feeling.

- Yeah, and then I felt it again

when I saw you the next time.

(dramatic music)

So I did a little deeper dive,

and I found out that Deacon and Sloan

were doing other work paid by city hall.

And then there were the foster homes.

(dramatic music)

You guys would pay them to bring you kids,

cover up the abuse,

and then you would keep sending them money.

- Sound about right?

- I'm gonna have your badges for this.

- You know, I bet we'd get some pretty quick confirmations

if we talked to a few of these kids.

- I wonder how many there have been.

- You think you're so smart, the two of you, huh?

You cannot prove any of this,

and you know what's funny, Shaw,

is you were almost a hero for a day but now. (scoffs)

- You know what's really funny

is that once you know where to look,

it's really not that hard to find.

(dramatic music)

See, there are cameras everywhere.

I could track you right to the scene.

(dramatic music)

I could track you walking into the boxing gym,

and I can track those kids walking out

with bruises or worse.

- Technology, baby.

(fist banging)

- I taught those kids to be men.

I taught them discipline.

- You taught them to be killers

who can't live with themselves.

I want you to think about that while you rot in prison,

and then, and then we'll see

what kind of a man you become.

(dramatic music)

- Mayor Richards, Mayor Richards,

you're accused of being the ringleader

of an underage fight club

with our foster youth.

What do you have to say?

- No comment.

- [Reporter 1] Mr. Mayor over here.

We've got a question. - Over here, a question.

- Mr. Mayor- - Any comments?

- Wait, wait. - Mr. Mayor, wait!

- [Reporter 1] What do you have to say?

- [Reporter 2] What happened in there?

Mayor, any comment?

- Get that out of my face.

(sirens wailing) (dramatic music)

- Are we still doing this?

- Doing what?

- Retiring.

- All right. (sighs)

I'll come back, but only part-time, all right?

I gotta be a better dad.

And somebody has to uncover those cases

that Deacon neglected, so.

- Must be a lot. Do you want 'em?

- Yeah.

Yeah, I let those kids down.

- You didn't let anybody down.

You're the best cop I ever had.

You solved that case in one day,

that's some kind of a record.

So maybe some other kids get theirs solved next.

Keyes came to see me yesterday.

She said she wants these cold cases with you.

- Yeah.

What about the mayor?

- He's still awaiting trial,

but I don't think they go easy on him,

not with kids involved.

- Good.

- You can start with this tomorrow.

Go to Aaron's game.

- Really? - Yeah.

- Are you sure? Okay.

Okay.

- From one dad to another.

- You're the man, boss.

- I am the man.

(gentle upbeat music)

- [Reporter] In the latest

the Clinton County DA appears

to have found her star witness,

Detective Robert Sloan,

considered one of the dirtiest cops on the mayor's payroll.

If convicted, the former mayor could face

up to 20 years in prison.
