Previously on Will Trent...

Cricket Dawson, bomb squad.

Ask me out, Will.

I'm confused.

Cooper said this thing about Macy's dad.

I got scared that you were having an affair. It's true?

I was thinking of taking the physical exam.

Angie, don't think I don't know about that nerve pain in your arm.

There is a bomb in your car.

My son went to prison. And then I got a call from somebody.

The man demanded five grand, or else they were gonna hurt Miles.

We ran a trace on the ransom calls.

They pinged to a burner phone inside Georgia State Prison.

We found the bomb. You got six minutes to clear the building.

Cricket died. Least I could do is figure out who ordered those bombs.

No one in that prison wants to talk to you.

I know one person who's dying to talk to me.

Did you receive my gifts?

We got here 15 minutes before you. What? How?

Amanda, I don't know. The man drives a Porsche. It's got pep.

I don't want him alone with Ulster.

They're taking my phone now. I'll call you when we're done here, okay?

Bye.

Check any and all weapons too. You'll get 'em back when you exit.

Am I not moving in enough of a hurry for you?

I know the routine.

Special Agent Mitchell.

Sturgill Hardly, I'm the warden of this facility.

My condolences for Agent Dawson.

Thank you.

All officers assigned to...

I need to speak with a prisoner, Miles Highsmith.

His father was one of the targets.

Yes, ma'am. And, uh, he's in solitary per your instructions. Follow me.

By any chance, do you know the whereabouts of my partner?

Uh, Special Agent Trent is speaking with James Ulster.

Great.

Well, the world has gone mad.

A bombing at the GBI. And a dead agent.

You don't think I had anything to do with it?

Oh, no.

Oh, no, no. Car bombs aren't your style.

But you know how things get done in here, don't you?

And I have questions.

Sorry. I keep a low profile. Stay out of people's business.

Please. I've kept tabs on you.

All right, you're listed as a legal adviser

on two dozen prisoner appeals.

You're handling a divorce. One of the guards.

Business is booming.

All right.

I have to say, I'm moved.

You do care about me.

Miles, your father was instrumental in breaking this case open.

The GBI is gonna make sure that you're safe.

Great. Thanks.

Look, I know you didn't wanna talk during that video conference. I get it.

But it's just me now.

So if there's anything else you can give me...

The walls talk and listen.

Slide the quiet mice on the moving beds,

and hightail it out. Hear?

Those were the instructions given to the man who planted the bomb,

but I bet you understood that.

I was addicted to Duolingo before I moved in.

So, learning the local vernacular--

Do you recognize the voice?

Uh, no.

The call was made on a contraband phone. Who sells those in here?

Well, as many guards as prisoners, and you wanna know who buys them?

Everybody.

Tracking down one burner with an inmate population of 2,600

is something you'd only do if you really hate yourself.

Oh. Wait.

That explains it.

Well, your dad's doing great.

His doctor has him on this low-cholesterol diet,

and I'm sure you know how that's working out.

I don't mind how it tastes as long as there's plenty of salt.

Salt's not great either.

Do yourself a favor and google "Mediterranean diet."

Gotta live our lives, right? We're gonna die of something.

I will tell your father that you're doing great.

And if you do change your mind, and you wanna talk, then just ask for me.

An adult elephant has quite a tall task to avoid starvation.

Hi. Yes. Thank you for calling me back.

Hey. You need another pillow or something, bud?

No. I'm okay.

Thank you. We really appreciate it. Thank you so much.

All right. Everything's sorted out with school.

They're gonna let you take your history exam next week.

Thank God.

Well, the science fair is still tomorrow.

So, I'll drive your project over, and Mrs. Johnson said she can set it up.

I can drop his project off at school.

I'll call into work. We can all hang out today.

Maybe talk.

Oh, um...

yeah, I have an appointment in Candler Park soon.

So, I can just drop it off.

Uh, Max, is it in your room, buddy?

I didn't do it.

- What? - What?

No. You went over to Corey's house to work on it three days last week.

You didn't check? I thought we always checked homework.

Oh, okay. We check homework?

When's the last time you checked anything?

You handle all the school stuff. I thought that was your thing?

- It's not my thing. I just do it. - Guys, stop!

My head is killing me.

Okay. Look, here's what we're gonna do.

I'm gonna order a pizza.

Three of us are gonna figure out the science project.

You're gonna turn it in late.

You'll get a bad grade,

but you'll have done the work and that's what matters, okay?

Michael, I told you I need to go.

Yeah, what's this freaking appointment, huh?

You know what? It's okay.

Max and I got it covered. Right, bud? Okay. Great.

I pulled the blueprints from Miles Highsmith's cellblock.

Each one services a cluster of six cells. They can all hear each other.

We need the names of the other five prisoners in Miles's cell cluster.

Those names ain't gonna matter. Nobody's gonna talk.

We lost an agent in the line of duty today, Warden.

And I thought you'd be more eager to join in the troubleshooting.

I'm a pragmatist, Special Agent.

I'm just trying to inform you what you're up against.

Well, I'm a skeptic who doesn't trust anyone.

We know what we're up against. That's why she pulled the blueprints.

Got the whiteboard and everything.

Would you like to hear the plan?

Ulster's gonna make the friendly approach to the five prisoners on your list.

He'll use their prison language to try to hire a hit on the outside.

Is the GBI footing this bill, or are you?

First suspect is an ex-contract killer for the Russians.

He talks British, even though he's not. So the guys call him...

Ringo.

Slop up some gravy.

What'd you say to me, mate?

I got a blue skylark who's squeezing my shoes,

and needs sitting down. You wanna roll?

Hey. It's our turn to play.

All right, all right, all right.

Who's this next guy?

That's Mackey.

Oh, and there's no fun story for his nickname.

Word is you're the fixer for a tangled hustle beyond the wire.

Sit him down.

Nah.

Nah, you're just a child playing in grown folks' business.

Maybe you need to get sat down.

Uh, what?

Okay. That's our guy.

If you want, we should intervene, Special Agent.

Yeah, I suppose we should.

Oh, no. I should've warned you about that.

- You been going to your meetings? - Yes, ma'am.

Oh, God. Mmm, okay.

Don't call me that. That's--

I'm just getting used to the sponsor thing,

you're gonna hit me with a "ma'am"?

Let me make it up to you.

I'll pay for your coffee, 'cause I got a job.

You did? Joey, that's amazing. What is it?

Working the grounds at this house in Brookhaven.

It's like a mansion.

How's it going? You enjoying the work?

I just push a mow around like an idiot, but, uh...

Hey, drug addict.

It's okay to be happy.

Okay, okay. Your boy got a job.

Okay, there it is!

- I'm still gonna buy the coffee. - No.

- Come on. - Gotta go.

Cleanup continues after the GBI bombing yesterday

that killed one GBI...

Check the call logs.

I don't know where that came from.

Yep. Here it is.

The calls to the bombers. This is the right phone.

We got you on tape, Mack.

I didn't consent to any recording.

You left a message on an answering machine.

Who'd you make the calls for, Mack? You do not wanna take the fall for this.

I run with Flash. All right? He asked me to make some calls.

- That's all I know. - Who's Flash?

Ron Flashwood.

You remember the guy that gunned down five people

at Piedmont Park about 30 years ago?

Please. Don't tell him I snitched.

Let's go and talk to Flash. Please.

Which one of you's Flash?

All right. We need the room. Take him back to his cell.

No, he can't leave until his dialysis session is finished.

Jack's good people.

He can hear what I don't have to say to these fools.

Well, here's what we figure.

You and your broke-ass kidneys are due for a release in six months.

If only you weren't a convicted murderer, you could've made the transplant list.

Instead, you ran an extortion ring to buy yourself a kidney,

but the victims turned on you.

So you decided you'd rig their cars with bombs.

Who told you all this?

Hey, the walls in here, they talk.

You got the wrong guy.

Hmm. Didn't you say that about the woman that you killed in 1988?

Why y'all jamming me up? I'm walking out of here in six months.

Oh, not anymore, Flash.

You're gonna die in here.

Take him to solitary.

Will.

Gin.

"You're gonna die in here"? Don't you think that was a little extra?

- Look, if you need a break-- - Faith, not now.

- Cricket died right in front of you. - I'm fine.

Right now, I need a... ...paper trail connecting Ron

to the extortion ring, all right?

All right.

I'll start a full workup of Ron's associates,

get his financial picture.

If we can link him to the money, then we can be done here.

Amanda. Um, Amanda, hi.

So Will's phone is off or... ...it blew up. I don't know.

Is he all right? Is he doing okay?

Physically, he's fine. Emotionally, who knows?

- So, same as always. - Full steam ahead.

He's at State Prison now. They took his phone.

Hold up. You sent him to the penitentiary where Ulster is? What are you thinking?

Right now, I'm thinking you better watch your tone.

I couldn't have stopped Will short of firing him.

Joey. Hey, what's up?

I messed up, Ang.

I didn't mean to slip, but he's my boss.

Your boss got you high. Who is this guy?

Coleman Walsh.

Coleman Walsh. God, I hate Brookhaven.

Did you tell him that you're sober?

I tried.

All right. Just stay there. I'm gonna come get you.

Coleman Walsh. Let me guess. Pretty young people, drugs and coercion.

He has a record?

He should.

Instead, he's got eight charges for sexual assault

that have all been dropped or settled before trial.

Uh, my sponsee is in trouble. I-- I gotta go.

I hope you're taking that down to APD. You are not back on the force yet.

My guy has a record and barely an address, so I can't have him getting swept up.

I just gotta handle it.

Hey, get my coat.

What are you doing?

Coming with you.

You're about to do something stupid,

and I do not want to deliver bad news to Will in the morning.

Where's Mackey?

Everybody on the ground now!

Who attacked him?

Ron must have figured out Mackey talked and called a hit.

You didn't think Mackey needed extra protection?

Ron couldn't have ordered the hit.

He's in solitary. We moved him straight from the infirmary.

There's no such thing as solitary when the vents are walkie-talkies.

I can't leave. I need to make sure this scene isn't contaminated.

Copy. I'll go find Ron. Find out what he's thinking.

We got a man down.

We can't get a visual ID of the stabbing from the security footage.

Mackey's dead. Our prime suspect hanged himself,

and you could have stopped both of those things from happening.

Did you want Flash to apologize before he checked out?

People on the outside died because of your lack of action.

You okay with that?

Outside?

I believe that's your jurisdiction, Special Agent.

Ron's suicide isn't right.

His guys didn't want me to get too close.

- I hope you did anyway. - Positioning of the body is way off.

Ligature marks ran straight back on his neck.

He was choked from behind.

Guards had to be in on it. They can't even stage a suicide properly.

Yeah, and if you're wondering who else was in and out of Ron's cell,

hallway security cameras were out of order.

Ron wasn't the shot caller.

That's why Mackey gave up his name so easily.

Did you find a murder weapon?

None of them had it.

So it's stashed in the yard.

I need your baton.

Ooh.

Syringe needles.

Medical waste.

We missed something at the infirmary.

What are you gonna do about Mom's friend?

Harris?

Okay. First off, don't ever mention that guy's name again.

That was a-- I don't know-- a blip.

It was a mistake.

Mom said that?

People make mistakes, Max. Like you not doing your science project.

It can be fun to shirk your responsibilities

and go on an adventure.

But keep doing that, things that do matter,

they end up slipping away from you.

Then what?

Well, then we fix it, before it's too late.

You're up.

♪ My precious time ♪

♪ No, it's never too late ♪

That'll get me a B, right?

Mmm. B might be a bit of a stretch.

- Needs more-- - Zip?

I was thinking bang, zoom.

Miss Johnson taught you about ferromagnetism at school yet?

That doesn't sound like a thing.

Well, it's a similar concept to a coil gun.

I confiscated one in Kandahar.

You give me two seconds,

I'll go grab a high-voltage electrolytic capacitor from the garage.

I'll be right back.

♪ Willow, willow ♪

♪ Won't you weep for me ♪

So, you're a sponsor?

Yeah, I've been out on disability way too long.

I need to feel useful.

It's funny how scary it is being on this side of the relationship.

Kind of proclaiming I am the adult here.

Mmm.

Don't worry. I am not traumatizing this kid, Joey,

like I messed up Will.

Look, you said it, I didn't.

You were thinking it.

Will is the only person I've ever had on my side.

So,

it's hard to let go of that.

You know, I was with Evelyn's brother for ten years.

Had a wedding dress picked out and everything.

You two weren't good for each other?

Evelyn's brother's gay.

Oh.

Yep.

When we let go of something that was never going to work,

we both got a shot at being who we're really meant to be.

Can you stop that?

It's annoying. It's like Will's handkerchief thing.

It's-- It's part of my PT.

It's working. I think.

I'm gonna take my physical next week, get back in the field.

Already?

Yeah, um, so, when we get there, let's run plates for warrants.

Are you packing?

Calm it down.

This isn't official GBI business, and you're still a civilian.

We're just two ladies going to pick up a friend.

You think I'm a lady.

That's nice.

Folks are getting restless in lockdown.

Yeah, I wouldn't last a day in here.

I think you'd run your cellblock within a week.

Well, thank you.

Can you fast forward? Whoa, stop.

Go back.

Ron comes in at the same time as this other guy for dialysis.

Nurse hooks him up.

Look at all the steps.

Then she moves on to patient number two.

Wait, did she even insert the IV?

Nope, it's all for show.

Oh.

- There it is. Mm-hmm. - Oh.

A shoulder rub and then a squeeze.

Warden, where's this, uh, nurse that we saw earlier?

Adina? Yeah, her shift's over.

Who's that prisoner?

That's Jack Richards, a serial killer.

He racked up three bodies before they got to him.

He's got a hell of a temper.

He used to prey on housewives.

Oh, he's preying on your nurse.

If she's gone, we need her back here.

Warden, you feeling okay?

Yeah, just, uh--

I'm doing the best I can, GBI.

I'm understaffed, underfunded,

and every day, I get the most broken men alive

showing up on my doorstep.

Help us track down Nurse Adina. We'll handle the rest.

Yeah, and drink some water.

Yeah.

- I need you to take me to talk to Ulster. - Wait, wait. Why?

Jack Richards, the killer that's grooming our nurse,

I know his name.

Ulster's helping him with some legal work.

Oh. Thank God.

Hey, let us go!

I ain't got my dinner yet.

Hey! Shut up!

Open up, you screw. Let me outta here!

Let's talk about Jack Richards.

You ever hear of attorney-client privilege?

You're not a real lawyer anymore.

Well, that's hurtful, but true.

Is he our ringleader?

Is Jack Richards the only thing you care about right now?

What about what I want?

Look, I don't have time for games. This is urgent.

Didn't we have a deal?

Front gate said Adina hasn't left yet, but I can't find her anywhere.

We should go check on Jack Richards.

We're on lockdown. He should be in his cell.

You wanna take that chance with the day we're having?

Fair point. Let's go look.

I think we got a jailbreak.

It's gotta be Jack.

Hey, what's happening?

My card's not working. I'm going for help. Hang tight.

So much for urgency.

Let's get to know each other.

Backup power's been sabotaged.

The phones are down too.

Someone's been busy.

If a breakout is underway, we won't see it from here.

Okay. Will's with James Ulster. Can we get to him?

When the power's down, the doors are inoperable.

But I do have a master key.

Okay. I'll need to go get my phone, and then we'll go get Will.

Follow me.

What the hell?

Hey, where's the kid?

Why do you smell like vodka?

There's a whole party going on.

That snake has a snake.

It's called a lancehead viper.

- Guess what happens when it bites you? - Why are we talking about a snake?

There's a kid who's drugged up in there. He's waiting for me to save him.

Coleman Walsh says he doesn't know Joey. And he hasn't tried to hire anyone.

- That's bullcrap. - You think?

We need pretense to search that home.

So back to the snake. Its venom causes paralysis.

And then your brain explodes and you die.

And that, milady...

...is a threat to public safety.

Department of Natural Resources.

Come on, let's bond.

I loved your mother, maybe I can love you.

Don't talk about my mother.

You didn't love her.

You killed her, then put me in a trash can.

Oh.

Can you please let that go?

- Hey, sit down! - No, no, no.

It's Nurse Adina.

Get to the taco truck, and we'll be swimming.

Did you know her and Jack were having a thing?

He didn't mention it.

Smart if she was helping him to escape.

Is that what she just said?

Wh-What was the message?

It's time for you to pay up.

Thanks for the call, Wags. This is gonna be fun.

There's a tank in the living room.

Have your team start there.

Polaski and I will search for the young man

whose picture I sent you.

How many critters you think we got in there?

Enough to put a rush on my fishing license, I hope.

Who are you?

This is a probable cause search. I need everyone's IDs out.

Hey.

Hey. Let me see.

- I'm so sorry, Angie. - Oh, God.

I've been where you are so many times.

You're safe now. Let's get you out of here, okay?

Come on.

What do you want to know?

Well, it's only polite for me to start with Angie.

How's she doin'?

It's a long road to recovery.

Keep it about me.

Why the three-piece suits?

I work better in layers.

That's poetic.

Did you think about killing me that night in the basement

when I battered Angie, bleeding on the cold stone floor?

Yes, I did.

What stopped you?

I'm a duly appointed special agent of the GBI.

- Stop. Stop. - My responsibility--

Give me the real answer.

You wanted to die.

So you resolved to spite me with a fate worse than death.

That's a funny way of dispensing justice.

Tell me what Adina's message said.

Have you found your mother's sibling?

The brother I mentioned?

Why do you care?

I'll bet you have a photo of Lucy, your mother, in your office.

The only family you feel worthy of.

Hey. Hey!

What's happening?

Wilbur.

Can someone get me out of here? Hey!

Tell me the truth.

It's difficult when there's something so deeply wrong with you.

Tell me what Adina's message said.

She wants him to meet her in the ambulance bay,

so she can smuggle him out.

She must be a movie fan.

- You sure? Huh? - Yeah, I'm sure.

I need to tell Faith.

Consider this a gesture of love.

Give me that thing.

Director's office. There's a breakout in progress.

We need a perimeter around the facility ASAP.

Hey, excuse me. I was left here.

Stand by. Let me loop in Amanda.

Oh, I think she's calling in right now. Director's office.

Caroline, it's Trent. I need you to connect me with Faith.

Oh, I have Agent Mitchell on the line right now.

- Faith? - Still me.

Sorry. Hang on. Faith.

Hey, Will.

Nurse Adina and Jack Richards are trying to escape through the ambulance bay.

You need to stop them.

It's in the south wing. We could-- We could go down--

Warden? - Oh.

Hey, what's happening? Faith?

I need--

Faith, you there? What's happening?

He's in cardiac arrest.

Dead batteries. Are you kidding me? Will?

Just stay with the warden. I'll find Jack.

How?

Hey, you doing that just out of spite?

I need a power source.

MacGuyver...

for the door.

Hey-- Hey, I'm Special Agent Mitchell with the GBI.

How much time do you think you'll get off your sentence

if you help me save his life?

Come on.

I'm so proud of you right now.

Shut up.

Hey, hey, hey.

Power's back, Jack.

Prison's surrounded by law enforcement.

The money you extorted is frozen by the GBI.

It's over.

Your escape plan's not gonna work.

Easy, okay?

Miles, you okay?

Not really.

All right, take a step closer, I'll plunge this Drano right into his brain stem.

All right. All right.

Killing him is not gonna do you any good.

Putting me back in the cell is not gonna do you any good.

You're not getting out of here.

Prisons have people.

It doesn't matter if it's a nurse, a guard, an orderly,

one's all it takes to get me up and running again.

One, two, three, four.

Head for the ambulance. Don't stop.

Hi.

Miles, grab the machine with the paddles. Bring 'em here.

Hey. Hey, Warden!

Back up.

Damn.

Charge him to 200.

Hey, where'd he go?

Who?

You seem like a good man. This is where good people go to die.

Shh.

Damn. Clear.

You're okay.

Get on the ground. Now.

All right. All right.

Lights went down. My door popped open.

It's fate.

No!

You should try it sometime.

Violation of my personal freedoms.

What gives the state of Georgia the right to decide

the kind of animals I can keep in my own home?

And what a beautiful home it is.

How's Joey?

Uh, EMT says he'll be fine, but he just lost his job.

He's hopefully not gonna end up back on the street.

But Joey has you. And you have you.

We friends now?

We lady friends?

Don't push it.

I'm gonna talk to Heller.

You're ready. He needs you back on the force.

Wow.

Thank you.

Crystal. Oh, my God.

Hey, this girl's good to go, right?

She's one of my informants. I'm just gonna grab her.

I was just talking to Wagner about this, so-- Just-- Let's go.

Weird party, huh? Who keeps a snake as a pet?

Hey. Hey. What's going on?

Last time I checked in with your mom, she said you guys were leaving town.

Yeah, she went to New Orleans.

What? She just left you here?

She's scared of me, so...

Your mom is not scared of you.

I killed her boyfriend.

You thought my life was gonna be, what, normal?

Okay.

So, are you in school?

Do you have someplace to live? Do you have money?

I get an allowance.

Is it enough?

All right, we're gonna figure out some better situation for you, okay?

No, I'm fine! I'm just tired.

This is-- This is not crazy, me asking all these questions.

I'm worried about you.

I wanna know you're okay.

I'll text you my new number.

And we'll talk.

Soon, I promise.

Hey, text me now.

Oh.

Mom, you gotta see this.

You did all of this in one night?

Well, Dad helped a lot. He's good at fixing things.

Drumroll, please.

Oh, my. It's something. All right.

We waited for you to test it out. Ready?

Will they let you bring this to school?

Right about there. All right.

- Whoo! - Oh, hell, yeah, dude.

- Sorry. - It's okay.

Your dad will fix it.

Go ahead and get ready for bed.

That was fun, bud.

Max.

So, where did you go?

I drove to the empty parking lot behind where the Kroger used to be,

and I sat in the car.

Can't tell if you're joking.

I need space, Michael.

I-- I can't deal with this right now.

With what? Me?

With whatever you want from me,

whatever it is you're trying to convince me to do...

- I just wanna talk, okay? - ...or think, or--

There'll be no convincing coming from me whatsoever.

Then what the hell was that?

What? A science project?

Is the science project proving to Max

that you want this marriage more than I do?

I'm not the one who took the kids to go see Harris.

Every time you cheated,

I blamed the women.

And I pretended for years like it didn't matter

what you did as long as you came home.

Yeah, and I didn't deserve that forgiveness, but you do.

You know, for putting up with all my crap for over the years.

I just--

I just wanna say that I'm still in if you are.

I don't know if I am.

I'm not asking for any promises or anything.

I'm not telling you how to feel, or what to think, or any of that.

I just need you to know that I love you.

And I can't even begin to picture a world without you in it with me and the kids.

I can't. I just--

Listen-- Listen, I know you don't want to hear this right now, okay?

But...

...you're the love of my life, Gina.

You're the only one.

I...

I can do better for you.

And I just feel like I have to say these things,

or I'll never-- never forgive myself.

I'm-- I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I don't know what to say yet.

Just--

Just see what happens.

Okay?

You'll be back to see me.

No.

I'm not coming back.

I killed for you.

That wasn't for me.

Well, it wasn't for me. You know the way the mind of a serialist works.

Show me one painted fingernail.

Flash and Jack Richards were two of the top dogs in your block.

Now they're gone.

It seems to me that puts you in a very nice position.

You're pushing me away here, but I know you came for something.

Antonio Miranda.

Lucy's brother.

Your uncle.

It's not Morales?

Well, it's the name he uses, you'll have to ask him why.

Don't expect a thank you.

It's the truth, you know.

I killed for you.

Family is everything.

I walk. Yo camino.

You walk. Tú caminas.

She walks. Ella camina.

We walk. Nosotros caminamos.

What you doing?

You look. Tu miras.

She looks...
