Congratulations.

You're going to make an exceptional police officer.

Everything all right here?

We got a call about a disturbance.

I asked him to separate, and he wasn't hearing me.

He didn't threaten her, he didn't touch her.

And Mrs. Whitman is not pressing any charges, so...

- Is everything OK? - (Tyler): No.

- What happened? - I told you he was dangerous!

Welcome to Plan B Agency. State the reason for your trip.

To prevent a triple homicide.

- Mia Coleman? - Yeah?

What the hell?

You take the woman inside. Make sure the kids are OK.

I'll handle the guy.

How do you know there's kids inside?

You can't arrest me. I haven't done anything. Ah!

I'm putting you on mandatory leave.

What?

Paul picked up the girls after school today.

Keri went to the house to get them, and now I can't reach her.

- How long ago was that? - 2 hours ago.

Freeze! Drop your weapon.

I said drop your weapon!

On the ground. Hands behind your back.

(Door opening, gunshot)

You didn't count to three.

Even if you count fast, it can save you

from firing without judgement.

I'm sorry. I thought they were together.

Coleman, if you use lethal force,

you're gonna have to justify it

because you're gonna have to live with the burden

of that decision for the rest of your life.

Whatever you need, sweetheart.

Just say the word.

I can clear my schedule and come back to Montreal.

You know that, right?

If you need me to?

Mm-hmm.

Well, try to have a happy birthday anyway. Huh?

Hello, Mia. My name is Andrew.

Is this your first time?

Uh... I saw a counsellor at school when I was a kid...

after my mom died.

Please, sit.

Actually, I--I...

I was kind of expecting a woman.

Is this what you would call a "dealbreaker?"

I don't--I don't know.

It's just not the same.

Not the same level of trust?

Kind of.

Well, that seems like a good place to start.

Would you like to tell me about that?

Uh, about what?

Why you're less trusting of men.

Uh, history, statistics...

take your pick.

(Scoffing)

Let's just say I've been let down once or twice.

By men.

Is that why you're here?

No, I'm here because

my boss mandated me to be here.

I got a little rough with a male suspect.

And why was that?

Because I suspected that he was gonna murder his family.

And you know what?

He did last night.

It's a terrible thing that happened.

Do you feel ready to talk about it?

Or would you like me to refer you to a female colleague?

I don't have a problem with men, OK?

It's not me that's the problem. - I've upset you.

You know what?

Maybe you can help me understand. Um...

What exactly goes through a man's head

when he takes the life of a woman or her children?

'Cause, like, OK, he has feelings.

And feelings are hard.

But to relieve himself of those feelings,

I just--I don't understand it.

Please help me understand it.

When you decide to pick up a knife

and harm your wife or your children,

what goes through your fucking head?

You want to understand what brought that man

to the point of killing his family, is that it?

(Mia scoffing)

You know what?

It doesn't even matter.

I will figure it out myself... as usual.

Yeah... No kidding.

Plus, you're gonna have to talk to a mental health professional.

I need you to do something for your family.

You and I are gonna go to the station.

You're gonna make a voluntary confession

that you were gonna kill your wife and your daughters.

What?

You're gonna admit that you threatened your wife

that if she ever left you and tried to run away

with your kids, that you were gonna murder them.

And you're not gonna resist arrest

because you know that you belong in prison.

You're out of your mind. I--I... I love my family.

They--they--they know I would do anything for them.

You know, you're a sick fuck.

You would rather destroy what you love than just let it go.

Why are you doing this? I do--I--I don't understand.

Five stab wounds to the little one.

What?

Eight to her sister in their beds

after you kill their mother.

That's what you were gonna do before slitting your own throat

like a coward!

You're the one who's sick.

You--you're sick. You know that, right?

You tell me that you hadn't thought about it.

I would never do that. I'm their father!

You're not a father! You're a murderer.

Listen to me, you...

the--the--there's something wrong with you,

and you need help.

OK.

That's fine.

I mean, it's your call, right?

But you are gonna stay here until you're ready to confess.

Who put this bullshit in your head?

Was it--was it Keri?

Or w-was it that bitch cousin of hers?

Yeah, she--she'll say anything to fuck me over.

Why don't you just kill me right now

if you're so sure about what I am?

Hello, Mia.

My name is Andrew. - Yeah, I know.

(Bag rustling, door closing)

Please, have a seat.

OK. Let's say a man murders his family.

Does he know he's gonna do it ahead of time,

or is it more like...

he just snaps out of nowhere?

Is this a hypothetical

or are you asking about a real-world case?

Well, that depends on when you're asking.

Now, I--I just...

(Sighing)

... I need to know if it's calculated or not.

A man that finds himself at that breaking point

has typically arrived there over some time.

Often there are progressively violent events that precede it.

In many cases, the man or woman will have fantasized

about it beforehand, sometimes while agitated,

sometimes in a more calculated manner,

as if to plan it.

There's almost always an internal struggle

as he searches for reasons to justify his impulses.

But for others, it's like a pressure cooker exploding.

Suddenly, they can't see straight and, bang,

they lose all control,

act out in violence as if their own life depended on it.

But you have to understand, no two cases are alike.

I just can't understand how anyone gets to that place.

Like, you take someone's life.

Their wife, their two sweet, little girls.

Are you aware of a threat to someone's life?

Look, I'm here because I'm suspended, right?

Because I got a little rough with a--a suspect.

Well, I got rough with him

because I know that he's gonna...

(Tongue clicking)

I just think there's something really off about this guy.

You have been a police officer for more than 15 years.

What is it about this particular case

that's so troubling for you?

It's those little girls.

I just can't...

(Whispering): Oh God!

(Mia sighing, Paul moaning)

(Whispering): I'm thirsty.

(Normal voice): And I--I need my insulin.

I'm diabetic.

I have to eat something.

So, uh, they got me paired with your old partner Gilmore.

You were right about that guy.

He drinks so much coffee,

I'm surprised he has any insides left.

(Chuckling)

Between the coffee and the toilet stops,

you'll be lucky to have time for any actual policing, you know?

So, uh, any excuse to swipe left

on your other partners too?

- Huh? - I mean your Tinder profile.

Oh! Oh!

Or is that just part of your therapy?

Oh my God. No, no.

No, my half-sisters set that up for me.

Ah...

And I have no idea how to delete it, so...

Right, well, I could show you maybe tonight over a beer?

Uh... OK.

Uh, OK. Yeah. Yeah.

All right, call me.

Drive safely then. - Cool, man.

- Awesome. - See you.

You're--you're gonna have to show me how this works.

It's all in there.

So am I gonna die here?

Not unless you confess.

To what?

I would never hurt my family.

She--she--she's the one who kidnapped my kids.

A woman doesn't just take a man's kids away

unless he's dangerous.

Such bullshit.

Between--between you and me,

who--who--who's the violent one here, huh?

Didn't you say your ex took your kids away?

Why is that?

Because he knows you're dangerous?

Or w-were you lying about that too?

So what is it with you?

Are you a liar?

A cheater?

A jealous guy? No, no.

You like to slap her around a little bit, is that it?

Hey, I never laid a hand on her!

OK? Trust me.

I--I know what beating a woman looks like. I've--

(Chuckling)

I've seen enough of it.

What do you mean?

Your father beat your mother?

Well, my--my mom...

my brother, me.

(Scoffing)

How bad?

Bad enough he nearly killed her.

(Whispering): Yeah.

(Normal voice): He--he'd shove her into a wall.

He'd just drag her by the hair into the bedroom. And...

Yeah, I couldn't do anything about it.

I'd--I'd just freeze.

Oh, I wanted to smash that bastard's head in so bad.

(Chuckling)

See, that--that's when I should have been violent.

How old were you?

(Sniffling)

I promised myself I would never do that to my kids...

do it to my wife, or to anyone else.

I don't know what else I can say to convince you.

I would never!

(Tires screeching)

(Tyler): So, what have you been up to?

Yeah, actually, it's not until you get time off

that you realize how much shit

you've been letting slide, you know?

Like, uh, cleaning the house,

paying the bills, you know, going to the dentist...

Well, it's a good thing you got suspended, then, slacker.

(Both chuckling)

Hey, you, uh, you want to hear something interesting?

Uh, always.

You know that guy you came down on, Whitman?

Mm-hmm.

Called his wife to say he was gonna pick up

their daughters from school, but never showed.

No one knows where he is.

- That's weird. - Yeah.

Who told you that?

Well, I know the case is important to you,

so I reached out to the wife to see

if Victim's Assistance had followed up with her.

She says she's worried about him,

that he might be in trouble.

What kind of trouble?

Let's just say that when I went to check in on her...

she was not alone.

- She was with a man? - Mmm.

Didn't look like the first date either.

She's afraid he knows,

that, uh, he might have hurt himself.

OK, end of shop talk.

Why don't I help you with this app?

And see who's into you... - Oh, no, no. God.

Just delete it.

I'm not... I'm not ready for dating or anything else.

(Chuckling)

All right.

Well, if you're not interested, you just swipe left.

And it's just as easy as that. See for yourself.

I broke a chair once.

We were fighting. It scared her.

I know what's gonna drive you to do it.

She's in love with someone else.

That's why she wants a divorce.

And that's why you're gonna snap.

Who told you this?

Did she tell you this?

No, I saw them... together.

No, no, no. You're--you're lying again.

You're just fucking with me.

No, that's why she needs to leave you.

They don't want to keep hiding it.

They're in love.

(Paul breathing heavily)

You're lucky I can't move, you lying bitch.

This is why she can't tell you to your face.

I mean, she has probably wanted to leave you for months,

but she's too scared because this is who you really are.

Who is he? Is it that asshole from yoga?

Huh? Fucking bitch.

(Whispering): Fuck!

(Normal voice): You're all the same,

just lying goddamn whores!

Why don't you just admit it, Paul?

You would end her right now if you had the chance,

you fucking monster.

Monster? Look at what you're doing to me!

Paul, she's gone, and if you can't accept that,

then you're gonna die here.

You fucking hear me? - Untie me!

Untie me, you crazy bitch! - Shut your mouth!

- Untie me! - Shut your mouth! Right now!

I'm done with you.

I'm fucking done.

If you have an ounce of humanity left in you,

you'll untie me, you'll let me go.

Hi again.

Officer Coleman, remember?

I helped locate your daughter the other day.

I was just apprehending a suspect not far from here,

and I think I gave her a fright.

I just wanted to make sure she's OK.

How come you're not in uniform?

It's, um, it's an undercover operation.

It's, uh, confidential.

Is it serious?

I mean, is it dangerous? Should I be worried?

No, no. Not anymore.

You're all safe. We got him.

What did he do?

Sweetheart, you OK?

You know there's nothing to be afraid of.

You know, you really shouldn't play

It's--it's dangerous, OK?

Thanks. Sorry.

Uh, sorry for the trouble.

His moods got so much worse after I went back to work.

I just thought he was depressed,

but... he refused to get help no matter how bad it got.

How bad did it get exactly?

When I asked him to separate...

he completely lost it.

He was in the middle of making dinner

and he was holding a carving knife,

And he told me that he would kill me

if I ever tried to leave him.

And then Megan and...

Annie walked into the kitchen

and they saw him holding a knife to my throat.

That's when I took the girls and I left.

And I know he feels terrible about it.

Desperate.

Was this the first time that he attacked you?

I want to change. I want to change.

Please, Mia. You have to believe me.

Let me make it up to them, for my daughters' sake.

(Whispering): Please?

If you're telling the truth...

then let's make a deal. OK?

You confess that you threatened their mother at knife point,

and you can tell them everything that I did to you.

I'm not gonna deny it.

But then you have to get help so that you can accept

that you and Keri are over.

She's with someone new. She's moved on--

- What? - (Mia): Di--

That's not true. Why would you--why would you say that?

I--I thought that...

Who the fuck is he?

Is it--is it that asshole from her yoga class?

Who the fuck is he?

Just think about my offer.

Mia, tell-- Mia, fuck!

Tell me. Don't leave me like that.

Mia!

Don't fucking leave me like that!

(Paul): Fuck!

Mia, don't leave me like that.

Mia, fuck!

Mia!

(Paul sobbing)

(Coffee pouring)

(Whispering): Oh my...

(Tray clattering, Mia breathing heavily)
