♪ Miss Susie had a steamboat

-♪ The steamboat had a bell
-♪ Toot toot!

♪ Miss Molly went to heaven
The steamboat went to-- ♪

♪ Hello, Operator
Please get me number 9 ♪

♪ And if you disconnect me

♪ I'll kick you in behind--

-Dad!
-[laughing]

He's cute,
but definitely tone-deaf.

You people are mean.

[laughing]

[gasping]

[glass shattering]

[gasping faintly]

Danny?

Maddy?

[♪♪♪]

[dialing]

I need you.

Hollis...

[♪♪♪]

No...

What do we do?

What I should do
is call this in.

It was an accident.

It is what happens
when you drink and drive!

No, please, Hollis, please.

I need you, please.

Please...

You know that Dad
always thought

you were different.

You're just like him.

[♪♪♪]

[beep]

[line ringing]

This is Hollis Braun.

I have a problem.

I need you
to make something...

disappear.

[♪♪♪]

[elevator bell dings]

You been rolling
in the sandbox?

No, I was arresting people--
two perps.

What's your excuse?
What the hell happened?

The bomb squad cop, Wells--

he decided to blow himself up,

with me still in the room.

This is insane.
W-where is he now?

Did you just hear
what I just said?

He just blew himself up.
He's everywhere.

And I'm fine, by the way.

I can see
that you're fine, okay?

I'm very-- I'm happy
that you're fine, okay?

If you would've gotten killed,
Nikki would have killed me.

Did he say something
before he... blew up?

He said he was doing this
for family.

"Like Braun."

His words.

All right, we gotta
dig into this now, okay?

Yeah, I agree,

but can you just do me a favor?

Can you go and do

what you've been avoiding
all week?

-The tux?
-Yes, all right, yes, the tux.

-Just try the damn thing on--
-The wedding is tomorrow.

-We got time!
-I know, listen.

I just, I don't need any more
last-second hiccups, all right?

I need the wedding
to be perfect.

-[elevator bell dings]
-For me.

I... okay.

[Sidney]
We've been working all day.

What do you think?

[Nikki] That is perfect.

I can't believe
that's our backyard.

Yeah, you know,
I couldn't do it without C.

Hi, Nikki.

Uh, it is pretty,
I will give Sid that,

but it's not perfect.

Something's missing.

You're scaring me, C.

What's missing is you.

Yeah, Mom. Come home.

I want you to look beautiful
tomorrow.

[Mike] Hey, hey, she looks
amazing right now, all right,

and we are on our way.

We are just waiting
for your father

to try on the tux.

Did something happen?

No, everything's fine,
all right?

We're just,
we're wrapping things up

so that we can fly off
to Santo Domingo.

Yes.

Okay, well,

if you're waiting
for my Dad to come home,

you're never going to leave,

-'cause he has suit phobia.
-Uh-huh,

I'm actually,
I'm embracing the new look.

Kinda fly,
very, uh, James Bond.

Nik, it's not too late
to change your mind.

Dad!

Well, no, you--
show her the suit.

-You gotta let her see it.
-Here we go.

-That's...
-Wow!

-You look like a real adult.
-Mm-hmm.

Well, I had to make
the ex look good, you know.

I mean, you're not going
to look as good as me,

but, you know,
you are my partner,

so I didn't want
to embarrass you, so...

These two.

I'll talk to you later, Sid.

I think you may have
the wrong floor.

Missing Persons Unit, correct?

Correct.

I'm US Marshal Justin Corona.

What can I do you for, Marshal?

I'm not here for you.

I'm here for him.

Detective Jason Grant.

Yeah, how you doing?

We got a case in common?

I believe you're an accessory

in the escape
of a federal prisoner.

Excuse me?

For the past few months,

you've been seen
with Wayne Pascal.

You have on multiple occasions
removed her monitoring system.

Yeah, I have,
with authorization.

And now she's gone,

in the wind.

I have questions.

Am I under arrest?

Only if that's
how you wanna play it,

but I don't think handcuffs
go with that tux.

-[chuckling]
-What do you want to do?

[Marshal Corona] When did you
last see Ms. Pascal?

-This morning.
-What time?

8:00 a.m.

Interesting.
Breakfast meeting?

No, I spent the night.

Ankle monitor on
the whole time?

-Mm-hmm.
-Well, that...

must be interesting.

Okay,

we are in a relationship, yes,

and I have removed
her ankle monitor

several times,

with authorization.

But you deny
removing it today.

What do-- Yes.

I... Listen to me.

I want to find her
just as bad as you do, okay?

Tell me what time
she went missing.

You asking questions?

That's not how this goes.

You're in a relationship
with a felon,

and that gives you motive
for abetting her escape.

She did not escape.

[Corona] No?
So, what's your theory?

If he starts spewing
about Braun,

this thing's
going to go south fast.

[Jason] Why don't you tell me
what time she disappeared,

and I'll give you a theory.

disabled minutes later.

Mm-hmm.

[Corona] So you said

you were gonna grace me
with a theory...

All right, that's it.

[Corona] ...and I'm waiting.

[Jason] Okay, um...

Okay, this is over.

He has an alibi.

He was at Ridley Creek

on a kidnapping case.

So says his ex-wife--

So says the head
of the Missing Persons Unit.

So you're gonna
back the hell up

and let us do what we do best.

You're wasting time.

Let's go, Jay.

Whoever you are,
I smell bourbon.

You're nervous.

You had a drink
to calm your nerves.

And you're projecting bravado

because you think
it masks your fear.

It doesn't.

I've dealt with the Taliban.

You think you scare me?

Here's how this goes, Wayne.

You're going to give me
the password to your laptop.

We're gonna trace back
what you found,

what you know,

and here's the important part,

who else knows it.

[Braun knocking slowly]

Have you lost your mind?

No, I had a moment of clarity.

I was going to handle her.

And you've been
saying that for months,

and as much as I would like
to trust you,

our problem wasn't going away

and time is running out.

You just kidnapped a woman

whose closest friends
are the MPU.

Do you have any idea
what they do?

They find missing persons.

Let's be honest, Hollis.

You are great
at taking care of problems,

but the big picture stuff,

that's not going so well.

Now, this has to go away
tonight, and it will,

just as soon as I find out
what she knows

and who she told.

I will fix this.

You will sit tight
and do nothing

until I get back.

Is that clear?

Now who's acting like Dad?

Is that clear?

[Mike] All right,
the housekeeper told the Marshal

that the room's always a mess,

so he didn't read it
as a sign of a struggle.

She's digging into Braun
on my computer, okay?

She's missing,
my computer's missing.

It's time for me to say

what you didn't want me to say
in that room.

It is Braun.

100%, it is Braun--

Yeah, hours after she sent me
the bombing file, too,

-so that's not a coincidence.
-Come on.

[Ronnie]
This is the room right here.

[Helen] Thanks. Thanks.

-Hi!
-Thank you, Ronnie.

-Uh, Helen--
-Uh-huh?

-Find something.
-Oh, I'll find something.

Doing UV in a motel room

tells you everything
you need to know

about why you never stay
in a motel room.

Trace. Fluids.
DNA... everywhere.

My, uh, fluids and DNA

will probably be
all over the place,

so let's not tell
the Marshal that, if we can.

Okay.

Good to know.

Or not good to know, uh...

Oh, uh, also, I bring gifts.

Replacement
for your exploded phone,

everything reloaded,

and Kemi worked a miracle
on yours.

-Thank you.
-Mm-hmm.

[multiple notifications chiming]

[Mike] What does the text
from Wayne say?

"Found something.
Yeah, definitely found..."

What's up?

I don't know, "C4".

She wrote "C4".

[Mike] What does that mean?

Is she trying to warn us
about another bomb?

I don't know. Ronnie?
Ronnie...

I know you know everything
that goes on in this motel.

You told the marshals
you didn't know anything.

Help me help Wayne, please.

Fine.

Look, our girl doesn't really
trust law enforcement,

present company excepted.

So, yeah, I might've
left something out,

an undercover car.

Black sedan, dark windows,

parked over by room 130.

Before she disappeared?

Yeah, I know she was here,

because she was
on her Gatorade run.

Exactly 32 steps from her room,

well within ankle monitor range.

C4. [snapping fingers]
That's it, that's it.

[beeping]

[machine rattling]

What are you doing?

We finding Wayne
or are you getting snacks?

It's not a bomb...

it's a message.

So this is video
from Braun's office.

Wayne must've
screen-captured this

from the remote link you set up.

Relax.

Whatever Grant learned
from Barlowe,

it's a dead end.
We're fine.

I'm telling you,
everything is fine.

Hold on, quiet a minute.

They broke into my computer...

This is it.

I mean, he knew.

He knew, and he took her,
this is proof.

It's not, Jay,

he admitted nothing.

Did you not just see
what I just saw?

Braun might be the guy,

but we gotta build up our case.

I don't care about
building a case,

I care about getting Wayne back.

Okay, let me work on the audio,

dig out
the other side of the call,

see who he was talking to.

Look, you making Braun bleed
might make you feel better,

but it's just going
to slow us down.

He's right, Jay.

-Here you go.
-Thank you.

CCTV picked up a black sedan
out front of the motel.

Stolen, but now we know
what we're looking for.

We want to loop in the Marshal?

Issue the Alert.

[Alert notification blaring]

[alerts blaring
on multiple devices]

[Braun's voice crackling]
Relax...

Whatever Grant learned
from Barlowe...

it's a dead end.
We're fine.

[typing, audio rewinding]

...Dead end. We're fine.

I'm telling you,
everything is fine.

[faint muffled voice]
You've said that before...

[audio rewinding]

[playback crackling]

[Braun] Relax.

Whatever Grant learned
from Barlowe,

it's a dead end.

We're fine.

[voice faint and muffled]

[man's voice]
You've said that before.

[Braun] I'm telling you,
everything is fine.

[Emerson's voice]
And I'm telling you,

the days of trusting
my big brother

because he says so are over.

You said you handled it,
he keeps coming.

Braun was talking
to his brother?

Emerson Braun runs
the Emerson Charter Schools.

So, a lot of people think

that charters
are profit-motivated,

but his are over-performing.

I mean, there's even talk

of tapping him to run
the Department of Education.

Yeah, that makes sense,

Wells said that Braun
was doing it for his family.

And there's one more piece

that you guys
are going to love.

[Braun] Hold on.
Quiet a minute.

[Emerson] You're telling me
they can't connect the dots

to John Maritz?

[pausing playback]

All right,
so whatever Maritz was fixing,

both Braun brothers
were involved.

Looks like we need to do
a deep dive

into Emerson Braun.

Maybe press pause on that.

Incoming.

You just made a major misstep.

How so?

You put out an alert
on a wanted federal fugitive--

Did I?

Hey, donkey,

she's, uh,
she's not a fugitive.

Yeah, well,
the Marshals are aware

that they just spotted her
a mile from her motel,

at a pawn shop, buying a gun.

Well, I know that
that's a lie.

You know it, too, right?

You like to think that
you know people, Detective.

Sadly, you do not.

I don't, huh?
Let me tell you what I do know.

-Okay?
-Hey, easy.

No, no, I'm good, I'm good.
Yeah, I'm good.

All right, I know you,

and I know
what you're doing, okay?

I'm going to find out.

Our Alert, it paid off.

Okay?

We found your black sedan.

Helen's down there right now.

She's going to tell us
who was in the car,

and then we're going to go
find Wayne.

All right, now get out of my way
before I slap your mouth.

Jay...

That's three strikes,
Detective.

You are suspended,
effective immediately.

Do me a favor...

I'm coming for you.

[Braun]
Oh, you're coming for me.

[Jason] I'm coming for you.

Yeah, keep walking.

You all need to stand down.

This is now in the hands
of the Marshal Service.

That means you leave now.

I can't do that.

We're building a case,

against you.

With an illegal tap
on my computer

and conspiring
with a wanted fugitive?

Those are some serious charges.

Sounds like
you need to suspend me, too.

But if she goes, I go.

[Mike] Yeah, and me,

and I think the exit interview
is gonna bring up

some things
you don't want brought up,

so put that in motion.

I think you picked a fight
with the wrong people.

We are done
playing by your rules.

-Okay.
-Mm-hmm.

-Okay, you're done?
-Okay.

Yeah, you're suspended,
all of you.

Effective immediately.
Get the hell out.

You know, you told me
that you make problems go away,

but the thing is
that you're the problem,

and as soon as
we are done here,

you are going down.

[Sidney] I can't believe
this is happening.

Tonight of all nights.

Yeah, about that. Um...

we're gonna have to
call off the wedding.

I mean, until we find Wayne,
nothing else matters.

Thank God. I didn't want
to be the one to say it.

How are you gonna find her

if you've been
kicked off the case

and out of the office?

Braun thinks that helped him,
but it helps us, okay?

We're off his radar, we find her
without any interference.

Yeah.

Just keep looking,
would you, all right?

All right,
I called in some favors.

Um...

Braun is still at the office,

uh, but Emerson
is-is nowhere to be found.

We will find him, okay?

We'll get her back.

Yeah, yeah, time, time.

It's just,
we're running out of time.

Then it's a good thing
I'm here.

I found Wayne's hair in
the trunk of the black sedan,

and blood.

She's not a fugitive,
someone grabbed her.

How much blood?

Just a tiny bit,
maybe hit her head going in.

I also found bacteria

on the floor mat,
passenger side.

Passenger side,
how does that help?

I mean, everything
about Emerson Braun is saying

that he's not doing this
himself.

So if we assume
he was riding shotgun,

then the bacteria's
from his shoes.

and this isn't
just any bacteria,

it's Vibrio parahaemolyticus,

which is caused by
a concentration of oysters,

-and it's---
-Helen, Helen, Helen.

Right, sorry,
get to the point.

This strain is found
in a small area

along the Delaware Canal
towpath.

How small?

[Helen]
Maybe a one-mile radius?

When I was in Braun's office,

I took pictures of everything,
just in case.

There was this one photo
of them by the river...

Please send that to me now.

Yeah. Thank you.

Okay, all right, so the river
arcs south of the house.

There's a bit of a bend...

If you look right there,
there's hills behind them.

Just figure it out, Kemi,
send us a location.

I got you.

Let me just overlay
the map of Delaware...

-Mm-hmm.
-All right.

81 Canal Road...

and the owner of the house is...

...Emerson Charter Group.

[♪♪♪]

[locked door rattling]

We can't just shoot the lock.

They're gonna hear us.

It's good
to have friends in SWAT.

-[lock clicking]
-Let's go.

I'm going downstairs.

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

Downstairs was clear.

This look like motive
for a cover-up to you?

Yeah. I also just got
a text message from Nikki.

They found a payment from
Emerson to Maritz last year.

$100,000.

Uh-huh.

So there's a fixer
fixing something.

We just don't know what,

but we know why.

This guy's running for Congress.

Yeah, which means
he can't just disappear.

So where the hell is he?

Come on, come on, come on.

-[beep]
-[line ringing]

Where are you?

-I'm at home.
-Get your ass here.

I can't.
I'm being watched.

My announcement is in hours.

I need to know my exposure.
I have to get in the laptop.

Give me half an hour.

I'm tired of waiting, Hollis.

Hey, boss.

She wants to talk to you.

Honey?
What are you doing?

You never came to bed.

I'm dealing with something.

The baby's asleep.

It's 6:00 a.m.,

go back to bed.

It's fine.

Michelle...

I love you.

I'd like to offer you my help.

You're going to help me?

I am.

Emerson.

It really wasn't that difficult
to put the pieces together,

and there's really no point
in this blindfold, so...

I have a proposal for you.

A way that we can...

help each other.

And why do I need your help?

Because your brother said
that he's handling everything,

and he is not.

At least not in the way
that you think he is.

[Kemi] I'm still at Braun's.
It's been a couple of hours.

I don't know
what Braun's playing at.

I followed him home from PPD.

He turned on a light,
turned it off.

I don't know, long day,
maybe he went to bed?

Yeah, well,
until we find his brother,

he's our best bet,
so stay on him.

I will, but I don't think
that he would stash Wayne

in a house
with his wife and baby,

but, yes,
I will take a closer look.

-Be careful.
-I'll call you back in a minute.

All right.

[police siren whooping]

Seriously?

[scoffs]

Good morning, officers.

Hands where we can see them.

I'm a police officer.

I'm just going to reach
for my badge, okay?

Down on the ground!

Now!

-Okay, I'm going down.
-Get down!

I'm going down!

You have no idea
what you're doing.

You are going to regret this.

[car engine turning over]

[♪♪♪]

[engine revving]

[Wayne] Here it is,
this file contains evidence

that the car bombing
was an inside job.

He said that
no one could access that.

Yeah, which proves my point.

Your brother
is in way over his head.

Yeah, but if this--

if this gets out,
this is bad for him.

This doesn't link back to me.

The answer to that question
is exactly why you need me.

Your brother has a backup plan,

and that is for you
to take the fall.

Look, I will show you.
[typing]

Hey, hey.
Stop-- stop it!

I'm just trying to do
what I promised you

and show you why you need me.

That is your brother's Desktop.

[error tone chiming]

It's-- it's not opening.

What?

[typing]

Huh.

He added a password.

I got into it before,

but he must know that I saw it.

What was in it?

Emerson, you know
exactly what was in it.

He's my brother.
We're family.

Uh, he has a pretty young wife
and a brand-new baby.

That's his family now.

[exhaling] Okay,

-find a way to delete it.
-And you'll let me go?

What? I do not
give a crap about you.

I will be leaving the country
within the hour.

You think I'm gonna stick around

and let your brother
take another shot at me?

-Yeah, right.
-[typing rapidly]

[sighing]

If you want this gone,

I first have to deadblock
around password verify,

then delete,

then empty the bit bucket,

it is going to take a minute,

and a lot of typing.

Thank you.

[computer chiming]

[dialing]

Kemi, where are you?

[line ringing]

The minute you get this,
call me.

[knocking]

Mrs. Braun?
Nikki Batista.

I work with your husband.

I was afraid
I was going to wake you.

Did something happen?

I take it he's not here?

He left an hour ago.

There was some trouble.

Someone tried
to break into the house.

And what happened?

They arrested the woman,
that's all I know.

Hollis left right after.

Do you know where he went?

I'm afraid that
something urgent came up,

and we can't reach him.

We're concerned.

I'm afraid that Hollis
is involved in something

with his brother.

[sighing]

That doesn't seem
to surprise you.

Emerson's a good man.

Really.

Just not when he drinks.

Well, Emerson's
been missing all night.

His car is not at home,

so I have to ask,

is this a drinking problem,

or a drinking and driving
problem?

I'm telling you, he's not here.

Don't tell me
you don't know where he is.

It is your job
to know where he is.

My job is
to run interference for him,

and I'm not sure

being questioned
by an officer in a tuxedo

is the best use of his time.

-Look, Margo, I just--
-It's Mrs. Martin.

Mrs. Martin,

there has to be a way
to get in contact with him.

You tell him that there's
two officers in his office

searching without a warrant.

He's not answering,
but most mornings,

he's at one of
our eight campuses.

Talking to staff.

Kids, they love him.

Okay, then
we'll search all the campuses.

Ms. Martin, your boss,

he kidnapped a woman.

Do you understand that?

He kidnapped a woman,
all right?

Keep running interference,
and you become an accessory.

This is where you tell us
how to find him.

There's
a Blue Ribbon School event

in a few hours.

Emerson is the guest of honor.

I cannot believe
that he did that to me.

Are you okay, Kemi?

No, I'm pissed
that Braun outplayed me.

I mean, he had
his little pet cops hold me

just in time enough
for him to get away.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Good thing is that I got
something from Braun's wife.

Okay, let's, uh,
let's see what we can find

on Emerson Braun and a DUI.

Yep.

I don't know, maybe something
charged and dropped.

Let's see...

Do you think that's the secret
Maritz was being paid to bury?

You don't pay 100K for a DUI
unless you've killed someone.

Okay, so, uh, we know
the date of the payment,

and I am searching records

for auto fatalities
just before--

[computer beeping] Damn it!

What is it?

My computer is lagging.

Well, it shouldn't be.

Mike put in a wifi extender for
some wedding surprise, right?

-Yeah.
-I don't know.

Wait, there!

Two days before Emerson
paid Maritz.

[Kemi] Not a hit-and-run.

-No...
-Okay, um...

Okay, so the report says

that the driver lost control,

flipped the car, airbags failed,

family of four killed.

Just outside of Philly.

Send me that file.

Something's not right.

Okay.

[C] Hmm...

The van caught fire,

but the gas tank was intact.

What are you saying,
that it was staged?

There wasn't much left
after the fire,

so I don't blame anybody
for not looking, but I--

Yeah, it says gasoline
was the accelerant.

If the tank wasn't ruptured,
where'd the gas come from?

From Maritz.

He came in with gasoline
to burn up any evidence.

And here we go,

Emerson bought a brand-new Audi

just after
the payment to Maritz.

Huh.

So he either totaled his car,

or he didn't want anyone
to see the damage.

Either way,

what Hollis and Emerson Braun
have been covering up

is a quadruple homicide.

Jay's checking the schools,
but it's a Hail Mary.

I mean, I seriously doubt

that the Brauns are holding her
in a school full of kids.

Well, we're not waiting
for Emerson to show up

at some award function.

We don't have to.

I just figured out
why my computer is slow.

Someone is in my system,

and this happened
only once before,

when I gave Wayne remote access.
It's an SOS.

Does that mean
you can find her?

I believe so, she gave me
a source-tracking package.

Give me a second.

Um...

Okay, so she is logged on
to a router

unique to...

the Emerson Charter Group.

Okay, so it has to be
one of the campuses,

but that doesn't make any sense.

Emerson's
less than charming assistant

said there were eight campuses.

The map shows nine.

[Kemi] Yeah, give me a second.
[typing]

That's because
the ninth isn't open.

They bought an old sawmill
to demolish

and then build
their flagship school.

Yeah, which means it's empty.

Text me and Jay the address.

Yeah, I got you.

I'm coming.

You were going to sell me out.

-What are you talking about?
-Don't lie to me!

Emerson, what did you do?

On your computer!
I saw the file on your computer!

You let her on the computer?

You had a file of the accident
on your computer!

If you saw anything
on that computer,

she put it there!

I swear to you, it wasn't me.

Now, we have to leave here,

because she's been
on the computer,

we're exposed here.

No, no, no, she knows.
We have to...

We have to what, Emerson?

She knows.
She knows too much.

I know you, I know you.

I can see you
grasping at straws,

looking for a different answer,

but there-- there is
no other option, Hollis.

Well, we can't leave her
in a building

with your name on it.

She comes with us.

I can't, I can't...

My campaign announcement
is in an hour.

This is everything
that I've worked for.

You know
what I can do for this state.

I can make up for everything.

Just take-- take them.

Oh, yeah,
and have them come back

and ask for more
like Maritz did?

Please.

I'm sorry, Hollis.

I'm sorry.

You've been a better father
than he ever was.

-Please, please!
-Oh, go on, go on.

I'll clean up after you,
like I always have.

[slamming]

Jay!

Jay!

Right behind you,
right behind you.

We're going up high.

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

[Wayne calling from above] Jay!

Quiet!

Or what? You need me.
I'm your bargaining chip.

Jay!

[two gunshots fire]

[gunshot]

[gunshot]

[shots ricocheting]

Jay, you good?

Yeah, I'm all right.

Stay down there, Nikki.

[gunshot]

[quietly] Go.
I'll cover you.

[♪♪♪]

[grunting and struggling]

Wayne!

Braun!

How you doing, dear?

I've had worse days.

Remember Najuy?

Yeah.

This is going to have
a happy ending, okay?

Braun, look, I know
why you did what you did.

You were protecting
your brother.

-You were being noble--
-Stop!

Listen to me,
blowing up people in a car,

it's not the same
as pulling the trigger yourself.

You want to live with that?

You want your family
to live with that? Huh?

Mike, put down your weapon!

That's not
department protocol.

You're outgunned.

Okay, let me tell you
how this is going to happen.

We're going to walk out of here,

and you're not going to shoot

because you don't want
to kill his girlfriend.

You don't want that to happen.

I think they might.

They just gotta wait
for their window.

[Braun grunting] Oh!

Oh!

You all right?

You scared me a little bit.

I knew you'd come.

Our friend in Najuy
didn't fare so well.

Yeah, well,
he didn't have my kick.

No.

You want to do the honors?

Hollis Braun,

you...

are under arrest.

Hey, Nik, do me a favor.

Can we just shoot this guy?

Either that,
or maybe make up a good story.

It'll never hold up.

Braun, no, it would hold up,

but I'd much rather see you
lose everything.

Let's take this clown away
and find his brother.

It is my honor
to present this award

to a man
who is transforming schools

here in Philadelphia,

and who knows what's next.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
Emerson Braun.

[crowd applauding]

Some of us,

we went to school as kids

and found ourselves,

but I bet at least half of you
dreaded it.

"School."

You said the word
like it was "broccoli."

A dozen years ago,

I set out to reimagine
what school was.

Now I want to reimagine
what education is,

what it can be.

That's why, today...

[clapping loudly]

[Nikki] Emerson Braun,

you are under arrest

for the murders of Alison,
Daniel, Maddy,

and James Soreno.

[Mike]
You are also under arrest

as an accessory to the murder
of John Maritz

and Travis Sanders.

You're also under arrest

for the kidnapping
of Wayne Pascal.

Prison is going to be
very educational.

Well, there's going to be
a million questions,

so I'd better head in.

Well, I'll supervise
the booking,

but I, uh, I got my first
homicide collar.

-Congratulations.
-How about that?

Just a couple things.

Uh, "A"
we're all still suspended,

and "B" that was Sid.

The cake arrived.

Ah, damn,
I forgot to cancel the cake.

Don't cancel it.

I mean, this tux
isn't gonna last much longer.

Jason, we canceled the wedding,

no one is coming,

and Wayne, right here,

has been going through hell.

Yeah, well,
and I came out the other side

because of you.

Plus, weddings make me cry,
and I could use a good cry,

so, really, you would be
doing me a favor.

I say we keep it moving,
have the wedding,

just my opinion.

What do you think?

I don't know.

I mean, I wanted it
to be perfect.

I want it to be perfect.

You know what,
as long as you're there,

the team is there,

what more do we want?

[♪♪♪]

Just one more thing.

Oh, my God.

The earrings I gave you
for your Sweet Sixteen.

Something borrowed,

something blue.

They can be either or both.

-Thank you.
-Mm-hmm.

It means the world to me, Sid.

I know that
you love Mike, Sid, but...

is it weird

to just watch me get married
in front of your dad?

No.

No, I think it's awesome.

I didn't have a dad.

Now I can have two.

[♪♪♪]

You are all class,
Jason Grant.

Wow.

Wow is what I was going for.

Yeah, you look fantastic.

Thank you.

So do you.

Thanks.

He's being cool?

Uh, yeah.

He knows
he got it all wrong, so...

No monitor till later.

You seem very happy

for someone
who just got kidnapped.

Uh, well,

didn't we learn that overseas?

You know, best way to move on
is to just...

keep moving?

Hmm.

Wow!

Uh-huh, uh-huh.

Maybe this is an upgrade.

-Maybe?
-Yeah, maybe.

Look, I don't, uh,

throw around the compliments,
too tough, but...

just take it while you can.

Yeah, no kidding.

I got another
compliment for you.

Nikki, uh,
she deserves the best,

and you are
as good as it gets, my friend.

You trying to make me cry
before Nik shows up?

-A little bit, yeah.
-Yeah.

One more time, one more time.

All right, enjoy yourself.

Last moments.

I'll go get your ball and chain.

Look after her for a second.

He's your problem now.

Oh, bring it on.

[chuckling]

Let's get you up there.

Are you nervous?

Oh, please, no one's going
to remember the speech.

It's all about the bride.

Sorry that
Rachel couldn't be here.

Hey, maybe I can be your date?

-Mm...
-What's going on now?

I'm sorry, buddy,
this one's taken.

-Hi.
-How you doing?

How are you?

Oh, my God,

Taye Diggs.

Rent. Hedwig.

-You're...
-[chuckling]

You're here! [gasping]

Yes, he is.

I'm here, yeah, Kemi finally
let me come out of hiding.

Kemi, you were the one
keeping this a secret?

Yes, I like to keep
my privacy, yes.

She does.

That's Taye Diggs.

-I-I noticed.
-That's Taye Diggs.

-Taye Diggs!
-Mike Sherman.

-The groom.
-Congratulations.

My friend here,
she's just a big fan.

It happens
every once in a while, so...

Really appreciate you
showing up.

I guess it's, uh, safe to say

we all know
how Kemi got her groove back.

-Okay, we're all done.
-Ooh...

Here we go. All right.

[laughing]
I saw what he did there.

[laughing]

Yeah...

-So...
-Yes?

Are you gonna sing?

-No.
-"Seasons of Love", maybe?

[laughing]

No, I figure we'd let
the bride and the groom

take the, uh,
the spotlight today.

-Okay.
-Bye, Taye Diggs.

Okay...

I can't believe
I'm doing this.

Well, if you're having
second thoughts,

I can get you out of here,
nobody will know what happened.

-No.
-No?

No second thoughts.

Good.

Good, because I don't want
Mike moping around

for the next couple months.

You know I love you, Jay.

I love you, too.

We've been through a lot.

Yeah.

Um, you know, I'm--
I'm walking you down the aisle

and giving you away,

but I'm not going anywhere,
okay?

[smooch]

All right?

-All right?
-Yeah.

[♪♪♪]

Oh, my God, I'm gonna cry.

Right there with you.

She looks so beautiful.

Yeah, she does.

Your headache now, buddy.

Sit down.

-Mm-hmm.
-Mm-hmm.

You all right?

Yeah, I just--
I always cry during weddings.

Oh, that's okay.

I've been to many weddings
in my lives...

[chuckling]

I see people worry,

"Is this right?"

"Is this forever?"

But...

I don't worry about these two.

It's as Alice Walker said,

"I have learned
not to worry about love,

but to honor its coming
with all my heart,"

and today, we honor the love

between these two
incredible people,

who have fought to bring
families together,

and now,
they're their own family.

And now the main event--

vows.

I'm nervous for the first time.
[chuckling]

Mike,

I give you my whole life.

I give you my whole world...

...and it's filled with love...

...and I am just so happy

you still
want to be a part of it.

Nik...

today,

I give you all that I have,

all that I am.

I give you my hand,

my heart,

my life.

I love you.

And now the rings.

This

is a symbol of my love for you.

[snapping fingers]

[Jason] Oh, hmm.

Sorry.

This is a symbol

of my love.

It is my great honor

to tell you that you may kiss.

Mm-hmm.

[clapping]

I'm done, folks.

One quick announcement.

Again, thank you guys so much

for showing up for me and Nik.

So, um,
I do have one little gift.

A, uh, surprise, if you will,
for everyone.

What is it?

Hit it, Sid.
