Your mom sent us
something from D.C.

Oh, that's right.

She mentioned something
on the phone the other day.

She said it's a surprise

that'll come in handy for
the little bun in the oven.

Maybe it's another tutu

to go with the ten others
she's given us.

Baby, what can I tell you?
That woman loves her some QVC.

With our baby girl
on the way,

that remote control is
pretty much glued to her hand.

Charice enjoying
her sister's house?

All those two ever do is eat,
shop and eat some more.

She's in heaven.

Wow.

Huh.

Doesn't look like
anything QVC sells.

Wow, that's Winnie's
old christening gown.

My granny made thisby hand.

And then after Winnie,

three more of my cousins
wore it, so...

kind of became
a family heirloom. Aw.

It's beautiful.

Just don't know what we're
supposed to do with it.

What do you mean?

You got something else in mind
for our daughter to wear?

To wear for what?

Her baptism?

Since when are we planning to
baptize our daughter?

I asked Luca to be
our godfather.

- You signed off on it.
- Yeah...

I didn't think you meant
that in a churchgoing sense.

How else did you think
I meant it?

You know, like,
Luca giving his godchild

an extra 20 bucks
on her birthday,

or taking her to
her first Dodger game.

Okay, Nichelle, I know you're
not all that religious, but--

Well, neither are you.

Come on,
when's the last time

you picked up a Bible
or went to church?

Okay, but that doesn't mean

I don't want our daughter
to have a christening.

Well, this is news to me.

Religion was shoved down
my throat as a kid.

I'm grown now and I don't
necessarily subscribe

to what the church says

I should or shouldn't do, especially

when it comes to
raising our child.

I know, duty calls.

- Go, be safe.
- Baby, I'm sorry.

Can we talk more
- about this later?
- We can...

but it took me a long time
to figure out

my own beliefs.

I'm not gonna
change my mind now.

Bye.

Got a female suspect,
goes by Abby.

Armed and barricaded inside
with seven hostages, all staff.

Is she a resident
of the shelter?

She's living here with her son.

Never caused any trouble
before today.

Homeless shelter's not exactly
immune to mental health issues.

- Any idea what set her off?
- Claims that her child went
missing last night.

Thinks the staff had
something to do with it.

Seven hostages at gunpoint.
She is desperate right now.

Let's end this.

Tan, Street,
you got the one side.

Deacon, with me
on the three side.

Roger that.

20-David, we're in.

Roger. Making entry.

LAPD! Hands where
I can see them.

Turn around,
walk backwards towards me.

All right,
put your hands down.

- What's your name?
- I-I'm sorry.
My name's Ruth.

I-I live here.

I was hiding
'cause I was scared.

You know the woman with the gun?

Abby? Yeah.
Micah's her little boy.

She's nice.

She let me borrow her blazer
for a job interview once.

26-David, we have one resident,
physically unharmed.

The missing son's name is Micah.

Roger. Approaching east side
of the building

toward the bunk room.

Snake cam in.

The door's
partially obstructed.

Look, this'll all be over

if you just tell me
what you did with Micah.

Abby, we already said,
we don't know where he is.

Stop lying and tell me!

I'm not lying.

Damn it!
Where is he?

I've got visual on
our suspect and hostages.

Far left,
corner of the room.

There's enough space
for a flashbang.

Ah!

LAPD!

Come on, let's get out of here.
Stay low.

That's it. Move, move, move.
Stay down.

Come on, with me.

Abby...

My name is Hondo, I'm with
the LAPD. Can you hear me?

If you can hear me,
answer me, Abby.

I already told
the other cop.

I am not moving
until you get me my son.

All right, then we're both
on the same page.

We want to help you
find your son.

Well, if that were true,
then he'd be here.

I mean, all of you--
you just, you just lie.

Like, none of you give
a damn about me or Micah!

No, that may be true about them,

but you and me,
we don't know each other, Abby.

We got ourselves
a clean slate, all right?

I'm gonna start by being
real honest with you.

You put yourself in
one hell of a situation

with all these
hostages and cops.

There's a lot of people here
on account of you

when the person this is
really about isn't here, Abby.

No.

How old is Micah?

Eight.

An eight-year-old boy
out there without his mother...

Abby, the longer
you let this go on,

the less likely
- we'll find him.
- No...

Every minute is crucial,
and we need you to help us.

Abby, that's the only way

we're gonna be able to
bring Micah back to you.

Come on now, put the gun
down on the ground.

Show me your hands
and come out to me slowly.

All right.
Turn around.

Walk towards my voice.

Going hands-on.

Look, I don't, I don't care

what happens to me, okay?

Just bring me back my baby. Please.

Hondo.

You guys should see this.

The business next door
pulled this

from one of
their security cameras.

It's from 2:00 a.m.
this morning.

The alley behind their store.

- Is that Micah?
- Yup.

The man with him works
here at the shelter.

He's the janitor.

Judging by the way they move,

that guy did not want to be seen
leaving with the kid.

I don't want to think about
what this guy wants

with an eight-year-old child.

I'm gonna go with nothing good.

We better find that boy
and find him fast,

before it's too late.

What do we have on the creep
who abducted Micah?

Looks like
our janitor was working

at the homeless shelter
under a fake ID,

calling himself Tony Cruz.

The name didn't yield
any background info,

so we pulled his prints
and found this.

His real name is Liam Dunn.

Mr. Dunn here was just released
from prison six months ago.

What was he in for?
Did five years

and change up in Corcoran

for assaulting an officer
at a traffic stop.

Before that,

string of bar fights,
a couple of DUIs.

- Your textbook hothead.
- Yeah, but get this--

His rap sheet
only spans back

a year and a half
prior to his last arrest.

Before that,
no trouble with the law,

not even a parking ticket.

So the guy goes most of his
life as a model citizen,

then suddenly spirals
out of control?

Wonder what
triggered him.

Anything there
- hint towards motive?
- Not yet, Commander.

But our kidnapper is
fresh out of prison.

Did five years for
- assaulting a cop.
- Felon. Wonderful.

Any history of
- sex crimes?
- None.

Yeah, but you'd think,
if this was trafficking,

there'd be something
- in his rap sheet.
- Maybe, maybe not.

Either way, we got
a 51-year-old ex-convict

who took
an eight-year-old boy.

The shelter's housing
supervisor wasn't there earlier.

So we'll go back, try to get
more intel on the janitor.

Go get a lead on this
son of a bitch, and get it fast!

Did you hear anything
about my baby?

I mean, I've been waiting
here, and-and nothing.

You know, not a word,
from any of you.

Abby, just take a seat.
We got you some water.

No, but you're
not hearing me.

We got to find him
before it's too late.

- Please!
- And we're doing
everything in our power

to do just that.
But in the meantime,

I'd like you to sit down
and answer some questions.

Do you understand?

I know what
this looks like.

I mean, what kind of mother

leaves her child
at a homeless shelter, right?

Is that what you did?

You left Micah there
without supervision?

Well, that's the thing.
I didn't.

Honest to God.

Okay, well, then
why don't you try to

explain to us
how this all happened?

So I work at a,

I work at a gas station
up on Olympic.

And my boss is like
a real piece, right?

He-he switched
the schedule on me,

and he forced me to
work graveyard.

And, like,
I need this job.

You know? And so the people
at the shelter said

they'd look after him
and I trusted them.

The people at the shelter.

Right.

What time did your
- shift start last night?
- Uh...

I started work at like 1:00,
and then Micah's school

called me at like
9:00 in the morning

and they said that
he never showed up,

so I ran back to the shelter
and he was gone.

I mean, I thought
the staff was lying.

You know? I thought they had,
like, reported me to DCFS

for, like,
- neglect or something.
- How long have you been sober?

13 months.

And before that?

Well, before that,
it was really bad.

I mean, Micah and I got evicted
from our apartment and--

You mean, you got evicted.
He's eight.

If you were
so strung out on drugs,

why wasn't Micah taken
from you?

I got clean before all that.

I've been doing everything I can
to get us back on track.

And you consider your life
to be on track now?

Compared to where we were
a year ago, yeah, I do.

Um, Abby, this is
security footage

taken from a business
next door to the shelter.

Timestamp is 2:00 a.m.

Micah.

- Yeah.
- Uh...

That's-that's Tony.
- That's the janitor.
- Right.

Well, you know him as Tony,
but his real name is Liam Dunn.

And he's the last person
to be seen with your boy.

His real name?
Wh-- I don't understand.

Liam was recently
released from prison.

Prison?

He was always so nice to us.

Why would he do
something like this? I--

It doesn't make any sense.

You ask me, there's a whole lot
of this that doesn't make sense.

Hey, Street.
Not so fast.

What was your problem
in there?

Seriously?

You're not buying
that whole

"I'm turning over
a new leaf" routine, right?

I mean, she's rehearsed that bit
a hundred times before.

So, where do you think
she was last night?

You think she was out
getting a fix?

Who leaves their eight-year-old
child in a homeless shelter

to be looked after
by complete strangers?

Oh, that's right.
A junkie.

The same junkie who just
held hostages at gunpoint.

I agree she's not
without fault.

But ultimately,
she cooperated with us then.

She's cooperating with us now.

So, what?
She just gets a free pass?

Deac,

the truth is,
might be Liam

that snatched Micah,
but this is on her.

She just wants us
to find her son.

And there's a strong possibility
that that doesn't happen.

So in the meantime,
watch your tone.

- What's with him?
- I get the sense

that this case is
dredging up some old issues.

- His mother?
- Yeah.
I'll keep my eye on him.

- All right.
- We got any new
intel on Liam Dunn?

His criminal history has
nothing to do with

trafficking or children.

Well, maybe he was
- never got caught.
- Yeah, well, maybe.

But I can't shake the feeling
that we're missing something.

Well, right now,
he's our only suspect.

We find him,
- we find Micah.
- Hey, Deacon?

- Yeah?
- Can I ask you something?

Yeah.

- What's up?
- It's me and Nichelle.

We had this weird
conversation earlier

about whether or not
we were gonna baptize our kid.

She wants to and you don't?

Actually,
it's the opposite.

She had strong
feelings about it.

I mean, I knew she wasn't very
religious, but I just thought

she'd have a "go with the flow"
kind of attitude about it,

but that was definitely
not the case.

What?

No, I'm just
a little surprised that,

that you'd want to.

I-I know.
I understand.

When was the last time
you saw me in a church?

Three years ago.
Victoria's baptism.

Why do you want to
baptize your child?

I don't know, Deac.

Look, I haven't kept up
with my Christian upbringing

in a minute,
but, you know,

I still consider myself
to be spiritual.

But with a baby
on the way...

I guess I'm just questioning
things a lot more these days.

That's something
every new father does.

But what do I do
with Nichelle?

We're on opposite sides
of this one.

I mean, I don't even know
that there's a middle ground.

Okay, first,
you need to think why

is this baptism
so important to you.

And then sit on it, you know?

If it's something
you decide you really want,

it means a lot to you,
just talk to Nichelle.

She might surprise you.

According to
the kid's mother,

this Liam Dunn is
a pretty decent guy,

which is zero help to us.

You guys learn anything
new at the shelter?

Well, we talked to
the housing supervisor.

At first, she was
a total deer in headlights.

Seems Liam was liked by
everybody, never a problem.

But while we were there,
the supervisor discovered

a stack of motel vouchers
missing from her office.

And how does that trace back to
our oh-so-likable kidnapper?

Janitor's the only other person
with a key to her office.

So there's a good chance this
dude took the boy to a motel.

Yeah, that's not
gross at all.

And all these motels accept
the shelter's vouchers?

- Yup.
- All right, I want patrol out
to every one of them.

Wait.
Hillwinds Inn on Van Ness.

Patrol responded to an incident
there a couple hours ago.

There was a brief shootout
before the gunman fled.

Motel owner reported a man
and a boy at the scene.

They match the descriptions
of Liam and Micah.

All right, let's get
the motel owner in here,

- find out more about what he saw.
- Let's go.

- Just take a seat.
- Thanks.

Look, I told the cops
everything I know.

Three times over.

I'm sure I've got
nothing new for you.

You said in your statement
there was a man and a boy

at your motel.

- Is this them?
- Yeah.

They checked in
about a quarter to 3:00.

The man mention anything about
where they were coming from,

or where
they might be headed?

I'm open 24 hours,
I charge 50 bucks a night.

It's not a place where
you ask many questions.

What about
their interaction?

Anything odd
or distinct you recall?

How so?

Did the little boy have
any marks on him?

Did he seem
scared of the man?

No.

It just seemed like
your basic father-son.

Yeah, except the man
isn't the boy's father.

He kidnapped him.

I never would have guessed.

That boy seemed so
comfortable with that man.

But, uh, he was
terrified as hell

when the two shooters showed up
and went after them.

Hold on. What do you mean
"went after them"?

I thought the sons of bitches
had come to rob me.

Wouldn't have been
the first time.

But no demand for
money. Nothing.

Then they saw the man
and the boy in the hallway,

and it was like
they'd come for them.

Your motel have
security cameras?

This the only camera
this place has?

I think there's
another one.

All right.
There's Liam and Micah.

The shooters are targeting them.
The motel clerk was right.

This isn't about you, old man!

We just want the kid!

These guys aren't
after the kidnapper.

They're after the boy.

Liam's protecting Micah
from these guys.

Then who the hell are they?

And what could they possibly
want with an innocent child?

Can't make out
any patches or insignia,

but judging by the bikes
and their tactics,

my guess is our motel perps
are club affiliated.

Which only muddies
the water more.

Why would a biker club
be chasing a little boy?

Hey, boss, we got
a BOLO out on the car

that Liam and Micah
left the motel in.

Amber Alert's out as well.

All right, copy that.

This is Detective
Ramona Quinn

from the sheriff's
department in Palmdale.

She heard about the shootings
at the Hillwinds Inn.

She thinks she can help us
fill in the blanks.

Nice to meet you.
Your shooters belong to

a motorcycle club by the name
of Palmdale Pagans.

They're heavy in the meth trade
and prostitution.

I've been building a case
against them for a while,

but nothing
concrete enough to indict.

You got any idea why they would
go after an eight-year-old kid?

Your guess is as good
as mine on that one,

but maybe the why
doesn't matter right now.

The fact remains,
they want that boy.

All right, what do you suggest
is the better question?

Where? If Liam Dunn
is protecting Micah,

where would he take
the boy?

That's the better question.

All right.

Liam likely wants to
get Micah someplace safe,

somewhere the Pagans
can't find him.

So let's dig into him more.

Family, close friends,
people he can trust.

People in and around L.A.On it.

Abby, we need to know if there's
someone you owe money to.

Someone who would be
very determined

- to get it back.
- Money?

Uh, no.
I-I-I don't think so.

I-I mean,

the only thing
I can think is that I-I--

My boss gave me an advance

on-on my paycheck. I've got to
pay him back for that.

That's not what we mean
and you know it.

We're talking about
drug dealers.

Are you in debt
to drug dealers?

I already told you
that I am not using anymore.

And besides, what does this
have to do with Micah?

I mean,
you guys are in here

asking me about
my money situation

when my baby's out there,

with some ex-con doing
God knows what to him.

I mean, what is wrong
with you people?!

Sit down!

Sit down.

Abby...

Please, sit down.

We want to show you
another video,

and I need you to sit.

This isn't about you, old man!

- When was this taken?
- We just want the kid!

That was this morning.

Those gunmen are bikers,

most likely
in the drug business.

And the only reason
we can think that

they'd want to take Micah
is that they want

- something from you.
- Right.

So, I'm going to ask again,
and it would be really helpful

if you were honest.

Do you owe these guys money?

I have never seen
these people in my life.

Well, then what could they
possibly want with Micah?

- I don't know, I swear.
- You know, the more
I think about this,

the more I just can't
shake the feeling

that Micah's disappearance has
to do with your drug problem.

Fine, maybe a year ago,
but not anymore.

I am doing everything I can
to take care of Micah

and to give him
- a better life!
- Oh, come on.

All right.
Let's-let's go back.

The truth is, Abby,
Micah is missing

because of
your bad choices,

and now he just might turn up
dead because of your lies.

Officer Street...
take a walk.

Now.

You know, I've seen a lot
of people sit in that chair.

And over the years, I've gotten
pretty good at knowing

when they're lying to me.

I believe you're
telling me the truth.

Now, is there anything that...
that Micah talks to you about?

You know, um, something
that he might be into lately?

The last couple weeks,
he's been...

he's been begging me
for a skateboard.

I mean,
he needs new shoes,

but he just...

He can't stop talking
about a skateboard.

You know,
when he rides the bus,

he sees these skaters
at this old warehouse

next to the shelter.

He loves watching them.

All right.

I'm gonna give you a chance
to talk to me as your friend

and convince me that
your behavior in there was

just a momentary
- lack of judgment.
- Last I checked,

there's only one victim here,
and it's Micah.

Abby may have you fooled,

but she sure as hell
doesn't have me fooled.

But she does
have you fooled.

She's got you thinking
she's your mother.

Street, whether
you believe it or not,

that woman in thereis doing

everything she can to change
the course of her life.

For herself and her son.

We done here?

Okay.

Now I'm gonna talk to you
as your sergeant.

Micah's case has
brought out a side of you

that is fogging your judgment.
I am removing you from it.

Wh-What?

You're benching me?
Deacon--

Now we're done here.

What was that about?

I'm benched from Micah's case.

What?

Deacon thinks that
my history with my mom

is messing with my head,
but it's not.

It's actually
what's giving me clarity.

Abby's a drug addict,
drug dealers want her son.

It's not that hard
to connect the dots.

- Maybe.
- Oh, what,
you agree with Deac?

- Finding Micah is the priority.
- You don't think I know that?

Let me finish.
We all want to find that kid.

But no one wants that
more than Abby.

Only a parent would go
to the extremes

that she went to
to get him back.

People can change
for the better.

It's easy to forget that
in our line of work,

but they can.

I know that wasn't
true of your mom,

but it is true
of you, Street.

You're living proof of that.

Commander, we did a deep dive
on Liam Dunn's past.

You find anything that'd shed
a little more light

on what we're
- dealing with here?
- Maybe.

Liam had a son.
Seven years ago,

the kid got caught
in the crossfire

of a convenience store
holdup. He was killed.

He was ten years old
at the time.

Seems to be what launched
the spiral of Liam's life.

Lost his job, his marriage,

started getting in trouble
with the law.

That explains why
he was so paternal with Micah.

Also explains why
Liam didn't go to the cops.

The day that his son
was killed,

first officers on the scene
pegged Liam as the shooter.

They took him down,
roughed him up pretty bad.

All while his son was
bleeding out a few feet away.

Whew. Well, that'd
definitely make someone

not trust a badge
after that.

Anything in Liam's backstory

about other family,
someone he might've turned to?

None. Just the wife.

Before their son's death,
they lived in Pasadena.

That's the ex-wife's
last known address.

Has there been any contact
between them?

No evidence of it.

Call logs from
Corcoran indicate

no communication between them
during the five years

he was locked up.
All right, just the same,

let's get Pasadena P.D.
to get a unit over to

the ex-wife's place,
keep an eye out in case

Liam or Micah shows up.

They got to be getting
pretty desperate by now.

Might be enough to
- drive them her way.
- Yeah.

What are you doing?

Whose car is this?

It belongs to a friend.

A friend?

He didn't give
you the keys?

Come on, Micah.

Get in.
We got to go.

This isn't your
friend's car, huh?

No.

Should we...
go to the police now or...?

No, we can't.

I've...

Look...

I've done some things
in my life.

Things that make
the police not like me

or want to help me.

And if we go to them,
then I can't help you.

Does that make sense?

No.

You're a good guy.

Don't the police help
the good guys?

Micah...

I'm gonna take you
to a police station

- and drop you off.
- No...

You promised
you'd stay with me.

They can help you
better than I can.

You said a man who
breaks promises

is a man of bad character.

Don't leave me.

Please.

All right.
I won't, kiddo.

I'm gonna take you
to a safe place, okay?

Okay.

Get in the car.
Come on.

Hey. I've been digging through
booking photos of known

Palmdale Pagans, comparing them
to the motel footage.

Think I have our two shooters
from this morning.

- Familiar faces?
- Yeah.

Ones that keep me
up at night.

The one in charge is
Jack Willis.

Goes by "Chopper Jack."

Guy on his right is his
second-in-command.

Biker named "Chopper Jack"?
That's cute.

Just heard back from Ballistics.

It only gets weirder.
The shell casings recovered

from the Hillwinds Inn
this morning,

they match ones
recovered from a scene

of an execution-style
homicide last night.

But the victim's
a Palmdale local.

Goes by the name of
Larry Callahan.

- That name mean anything to you?
- No. Never heard of him.

Had a record,
all petty offenses.

Says here it was expunged.

Wonder how a dude with
his means and lifestyle

- managed to pull that off.
- I wonder what he did
to cross the Pagans

that earned
a bullet in the head.

I'm more interested in
how a biker club murder

gets us closer to
finding that kid.

Where was Callahan's
body found?

It was an old chemical plant.

7th and Alameda.

That's only a block
from the shelter.

Listen.

Abby mentioned that
Micah liked

to go watch these skaters at
a nearby abandoned warehouse.

What if he snuck out last night
and that's where he went?

Callahan was killed
just before 2:00,

and it was only
a little while later

that Micah and Liam
took off from the shelter.

Micah was there
last night.

He must've witnessed
Callahan's murder.

That explains why
the Pagans want him dead.

Guarantees
he won't talk.

Right. So now we know
why the Pagans want him.

Doesn't get us any closer to
bringing him home safe.

Pasadena P.D.'s
reporting a shootout

at the home of
Liam's ex-wife.

Officers exchanged gunfire

with four gunmen on motorcycles.

It's got to be our Pagans.

Cops on the scene took
two of them down,

one dead, one wounded.

Ex-wife's in the hospital.
I guess they worked her over

- pretty bad.
- Were Liam or Micah there?

No sign of them.

Then he and Micah
could still be alive.

Maybe, but there's
a blood trail

from the house
to the driveway.

They could be in bad shape.

Deac and I will see what
we can get from Liam's ex-wife.

The two of you, take a crack
at the wounded biker.

See if he'll give up anything
- on where to find his pals.
- Okay.

Ms. Reese,

I'm Sergeant Harrelson,
this is Sergeant Kay.

I already spoke with
the other cops.

We know.

We're just worried
about the little boy

that's with
your ex-husband.

We're afraid they're
running out of time.

Have you seen the boy?
Was he with Liam?

I thought, at first,
I was dreaming.

He looked so much like our son.

The son you lost.

What was your boy's name?

Clayton.

We called him Clay.

I was in the yard,
just gardening.

I saw them walking
toward me.

For a moment, I...
I don't know, it just...

felt like the last
time I saw Clay.

Except this time,

he and Liam were coming home...

unhurt, safe.

Ms. Reese,
we're trying to save

another mother from going
through what you had to endure.

When you saw Liam,
what did he talk about?

He said there were

bad people who wanted
to harm the boy.

He asked if he could
stay with me.

He thought
he would be safe there.

He was wrong.

We heard motorcycles.

There were four of them,
all with guns.

They just started shooting.

I urged Liam to go,
for the child's sake.

Two of the bikers
went after them.

Two stayed behind,

wanting me to tell them
where Liam had gone.

And did you?

I couldn't, I don't know
where Liam went.

Protecting that child.

I think it's his way of
protecting Clay.

I won't fault him for that.

We understand.

Do you recall Micah saying
anything, anything at all?

Besides wanting his mother?

He mentioned a place
she takes him,

called it "a hiding place."

Said he and Liam
should go there.

He's just a child, so...

You have any luck
- with him?
- Hardly.

Told you he's
not much of a talker.

Too bad the bullet
that hit him wasn't

a couple inches to the left,
you know what I mean?

Yeah.

Come on, did you really expect
that guy to open up to us?

Nah, but there's still something
that's bugging me.

Our intel
on Liam's ex-wife.

Okay, we had to dig deep
to make the link

to the house in Pasadena.

How the hell'd the Pagans
get there so fast?

They could've run a bootleg
background check on Liam.

Yeah, but he was working
at the shelter under an alias.

They didn't even know
his real name.

And there's something else.

Larry Callahan,

the murder victim from
the warehouse last night.

- Yeah, what about him?
- The dude was an alcoholic

with no money, and somehow

he was able to get his
criminal record expunged.

That takes connections.

Think he knew someone
in law enforcement?

Like, working as a CI?

That would explain
why the Pagans

put a bullet in his head.

I know a guy from my
sheriff's department days,

used to work patrol
in Palmdale.

I'll call him,
see if he knows anything.

Any news about Micah?

He's alive,
but we haven't found him.

We need your help.

Help?

Can you tell us more about
your routine with Micah?

Any places he felt
particularly safe.

Why? Wh-What's going on?
Micah may have gone

somewhere he calls
his hiding place.

Does that make any sense?

The caves.

Up at Griffith Park.

Off the Rock Canyon Trail.
Yeah.

Sometimes when I,
when I couldn't afford a motel

or when the shelters
were too full,

I-I'd sneak him in there.

Then we'd pretend we were
on a deserted island.

You know, like,
I'd light a candle

and we'd pretend it was a fire.

Or I'd get fish fillet sandwiches,

and pretend we caught a fish.

Yeah, he-he loved it.

Hey, look.
Please find him.

We're working on it.

We need to get to Griffith Park
before the Pagans do.

The rest of 20-Squad's
still out in Pasadena.

- I can get there faster.
- Without your squad?
Hell no.

- Then send the both of us.
- Benched is benched, Street.

I get that, but what
other option do we have?

Rest of the team's
too far away.

I can provide backup.

Street's right.

If the Pagans show up,

I'll know exactly
what to say to them

before the bastards even think
about pulling the trigger.

What do you think,
Commander?

Detective, you better have
my officers' six at all times.

Let's roll.

Are you okay?

Yeah. Let's go.

- Yeah, okay.
- Are you okay?

I just need a minute.

No. No, no, no.
It's cold.

- You keep that on.
- I'm not cold, okay?

I once knew a little boy...

kind and brave like you.

I miss him...

...so much.

What was his name?

Wake up, please.

Please, wake up!

All right, listen up.

I talked to Hicks.
Tan and Detective Quinn

already rolled out
to Griffith Park.

The sooner we get there,
the better.

Now, there is no telling

how many Pagans
might show up to the party.

Okay, we should just stick to
the side streets.

- The 110's a nightmare.
- Appreciate you
calling me back.

- I got to run. Thanks.
- What's up?

Problem's bigger
than we think.

Hondo, I just heard back
from a friend of mine,

used to work Palmdale.

Larry Callahan, guy the Pagans
killed last night?

Good chance Detective Quinn
was in on that.

Wait a minute,
what're you saying?

Internal Affairs
up in Palmdale's been running

an investigation into
crooked cops suspected of

taking protection money
from the meth trade.

The investigation had a CI.

It was Larry Callahan.

Hondo, if Quinn is one of
those dirty cops,

that would explain why
she showed up on our doorstep

right after the shootout
at the motel.

It also explains
how the Pagans got to

the Pasadena house so fast.

I mean, I know it's just
a theory, but--

But Tan's alone with her
right now.

Deac, you guys close?

Hey, Tan, listen,
we need you to get away...

I can't hear you. Deac?

Afraid you're out of luck.

No signal up here.

Please, wake up!

Micah?

Hey.

I think he's dead...

He's hanging on.

We're gonna get him
some help, okay?

Okay. Okay. Okay.

That's the bad lady!
She was there!

Move, move. Move, move!

Get down, get down!

Stay low.

The math is simple.

There's three of us,

then there's you with a dead
ex-con and an eight-year-old.

Hand over the kid.

The warehouse last night...

You had Larry Callahan killed!

The kid has nothing to do
with this mess.

It's not my fault
he's in this position.

What mother lets her child
wander off

in the middle of the night?

Stay down. Stay down.

Toss your gun,

and turn over the kid.

We don't have to make
this messy.

We both know
that's not happening.

We got to move, Micah.

Go. Come on.

Move!

Right here.

All right, get down,
get down, get down.

This is where
your mom took you?

Yeah.

It's our hiding spot.

Your mom said you come here
and play desert island.

Said you have
a lot of fun doing that.

It's all my fault.

Should've never
left the shelter.

No, it's not your fault.

You're human, and humans
mess up all the time.

What counts is
that we clean it up

and try hard not to make
the same mess again.

- You understand? Okay.
- Yeah.

Come on, Tan.

How long do you really think
you can last?

A lot longer than you think!

LAPD! Guns on the ground.

We got a runner.
Powell, with me.

All this and for what, Ramona?

A little extra money?

Isn't it always about the money?

Drop your weapon!

Get on your knees.

- Going hands-on.
- Go.

30-David, suspect in custody.

By the way, Chopper Jack's
a lame-ass nickname.

Don't make this
harder on yourself.

Luca.
Yeah?

I climb that,
- I get a better angle.
- Okay, be careful, boss.

There's no way out
of here for you!

Don't you move!

Don't you move.20-David,
suspect down.

Code 4 all the way around.

Come on.
It's all right.

- You sure?
- Let's go.
We're safe.

Deacon, Powell,
you got eyes on Liam?

DEACON [over comms]:
Yeah.

He's dead.

Copy.

I'll call his ex-wife

and give her the news myself.

Take her to the car.

Yeah. With pleasure.

Hey.

You're safe now.

- Let's get him home.
- Yeah. Come on, Micah.

Come on.

Come with me.

Why? What's going on?

He doesn't need
to see you like this.

Who?

Micah?!

- Mommy!
- Oh, my God.

Mama, Mommy, Mommy!

Oh, my God.
I missed you so much.

Let me see you.

- I'm so sorry.
- No, no, I'm sorry.

It's my fault, okay?

Can we,
can we leave now?

Um...

I don't know if we can
just yet, baby.

We're, um...

we're doing everything we can
to keep you two together.

We just need
a little time, okay?

Thank you.

Hey, Micah,

you guys want to spend
some time together?

- We'll get you some food.
- Yeah.

Yeah?
Okay, let's do it.

Come on, bud.

Come on. Let's go.

Oh, I missed you so much.

Abby's situation...

You were right.

Just took me a little
while to realize it.

We're good.

Thanks.

Hey.

Hey, baby.

You okay?

No. I'm not.

Talk to me.

I spent the day thinking
about this morning.

And why I want to
baptize our daughter.

And I think
I figured it out.

Okay.

We almost lost an
eight-year-old boy today.

It's a day I've lived
a hundred times before.

But the difference now?

I'm scared, Nichelle.

Of course, I'm excited.

But I am scared to bring
a child into this world.

I have lived my life
protecting people,

protecting children...

but my own child?

I don't know this fear.

I guess a baptism is
my way of giving our kid

an extra layer of protection.

Let's do it.

Really?

Our baby girl is going to
look beautiful in this.

Baby... But...

I pick the church.

Yes, ma'am.

Mm...

Thank you.
