Joe?

Stay back. Stay back.

Joe, I'm Phoebe MacNamara.

I'm with the
Police Department.

Brought you a beer.
What?

Put it on the ledge.

Phoebe, Tactical is moving
into position. Be careful.

You planning
on jumping?

Don't tell me
it's over a woman.

My wife.



Why don't you
sit back down?

Yeah. Yeah.

So what's
your wife's name?

Lori.

She left me.

You really a cop?

Yes.

She left you 'cause
you were gambling?

She was all I had.

Aren't you gonna get
in trouble for drinking?

Not if you don't jump.

I stole $5,000
from my boss.

I met your boss.
He seems like a really nice guy.

What if I talked to him,
got him to give you time to pay the money back?



I don't know.

If you could talk to her right now,
what would you say?

I guess that
I'm sorry,

that I love her,
and I don't wanna lose her.

Well, if you don't wanna lose her and you really love her, Joe,

you gotta hand me the gun and get off this ledge, okay?

Otherwise you're just leaving Lori with a whole lot of grief and guilt.

I don't wanna do that.
It's not her fault.

Then show her that.

Give me your hand.

Come on.

You'll have to go
with this officer.

Lieutenant, I am just going to pretend you didn't give a beer to a jumper.

What beer, Captain?

Exactly.

You always go right up
to guys with guns like that?

Only on Sundays.
You pressing charges?

No, no.
Listen, I don't want Joe to go to jail.

He's worked for me for three years.
He's never been a problem.

Well, he's gonna have to pay
the money back he owes you

for his own self-respect.

Okay.

Hey.

Let me buy you a drink.

I just had one.

Carly, you ready?

I'm ready.

It's too cold
for shorts, sweetie.

Put your foot in.
Other foot.

Don't forget my scrunchie.

Okay. Shoes.

Down there.

I can put my shoes on
all by myself, Mommy.

Okay, you do that.
I'll see you downstairs, okay?

What are you doing?

We have a leak.

Great.
I've almost got her lunch made.

I just need to add
the apple juice.

Thanks, Mom.

Carly!

Carly. Come here, baby.

There's my girl.

We have a leak.

Yes, we do.

There we go.
Let's get your shoe on.

Put your foot to the back.

I want my froggy backpack.

Well, I can't find it,
sweetheart.

Hey, Mom, will you
flag down the bus for me?

I haven't got time to drive her if she doesn't make it.

Got a training
session at 8:00.

What's wrong?

Grandma can't go on
the porch anymore.

Since when?

I've got it. I've got it.

Come on.
Here's your lunch.

Into the froggy.

There you go.

Big girl.
Come on.

Hold my hand.

Here we go.
There we go.

We missed the bus.

You can catch it on Colby.

Can you come to help
with my class today?

I can't, sweetie.
I gotta go to work.

Well, all the other mommies do,
but you never come.

Next week, okay?
I promise.

Come on. You got your backpack?
Watch your head.

We need a new car.

Okay, today we're gonna
continue our discussion

about your role
as first responders.

Ma'am?

I was wondering about
that jumper yesterday.

You broke a lot of your own rules of negotiation.

It's Lieutenant,
Officer Meeks.

And if you'd been paying attention over the past two weeks,

you would've heard me say that while there are guidelines,

a negotiator
must be flexible.

You gave the subject alcohol.

And you had some yourself.
Is that what you call being flexible, ma'am?

Oh, sorry.

Lieutenant.
Lieutenant?

Did you read the
report, Officer?

Because if you had,
you might've noticed

that a sniper had his M4
trained on the subject.

He could've missed.

From 40 feet?

The preservation of life is and will always
be the primary goal in negotiation.

Everything else is secondary.

In this instance,
I elected a face to face.

I elected to give
the subject a single beer

because I thought these choices would assist me in talking him down.

That's a good strategy.
Unless he gets drunk and falls off the roof.

Or you do.

Maybe you get drunk off one beer, Officer,
but I don't.

Can't you take the elevator
like a normal person?

And miss you
struggling to keep up?

What?

It's that guy
from yesterday.

Wonder what he wants.

Who cares?

Hot man, your office. Go.

Oh!

Hi.
Hi.

So.

Wow, this is where a hostage negotiator works, huh?

Uh-huh.

You have kids.

Yeah, I have a daughter.

So, what can I do for you?

Actually I think
I'm in some trouble.

Had a dream last night that I was sitting on the ledge in my underwear.

Boxers or briefs?

Boxers.

Thought I might ask a professional what this means.

Maybe it means
you should wear briefs.

You know I'm hitting
on you, right?

I'm a trained observer.

So have dinner
with me tomorrow night.

What if I said
I was suicidal?

I'd say call the hotline.

You're the hotline.

Hmm.

Drinks, tomorrow, 5:30.

6:00.
5:45.

My place, Swifty's.
It's on Fourth Street. I can pick you up.

I'll meet you there.

Okay.

Never seen him.

Roy called today.

Mmm. Great. Let me guess.
He's gonna be late with child support.

Your ex-husband is an idiot,
I'll give you that.

What did the mechanic say?

$600.

What about the ceiling?

$400.

And that's the good news.

The plumber said we have to replace all of our pipes.

Don't even ask how much.

Mom, when did you start having trouble with the porch?

I started having anxiety
about a month or two.

I'm fine, Phoebe. I have my chat rooms,
online bridge, this.

Stop worrying so much.
Tell me more about this date.

So, are you gonna
have a boyfriend?

Kaitlyn's mom
has a boyfriend.

She says it's
a lot of work.

Well, it can be a lot
of work, but then again,

Kaitlyn's mom is a little high-maintenance.

What's high-maintenance,
Mama?

It means she needs a lot of attention.
And don't you repeat that.

Okay?

I've been trying to figure out why I can't get you out of my head.

It's the whole
woman-carrying-a-gun thing.

No, it's not.

It's what you did with Joe out on the ledge.

How did you know
what to say to him?

I don't know.
I guess I just watch a lot of TV, so...

Okay, you're a smartass.

Takes one to like one.

How'd you get into this?
I mean, you don't seem...

Like I fit the profile?

Yeah.

It's my second year
on the force,

and my partner and I were the first responders at the scene.

First squad car.
And the HT had them...

H... What?

Hostage-taker.
Okay.

He had his estranged wife
and three kids in there.

I talked him down before backup arrived
and that was kind of when I decided

that's what I wanted to do.
Wow.

What about you?
What you do takes a lot of work, I'm sure.

Owning a bar?
No, not so much.

I mean,
I was a bartender before, right.

I know the business.

Pour drinks,
serve, thank you.

I meant owning three bars

and being a silent partner
in four downtown hotels.

You googled me.

You know what the problem with googling is?

What, you might find out the man you're going on a date with

won $100 million
in the lottery?

Yeah, that.

Right, that.

I was gonna say it takes all the fun out of it.

Is the money
a plus or a minus?

It's a plus that you
didn't lead with it.

Well, that's good
because I was...

I gotta go.
What?

Yeah.

Hold on, hold on.

Have dinner with me
tomorrow night.

Look, Duncan,
despite your $100 million,

I'm not really in a position to start a relationship right now.

Are you in a
position to eat?

What you gotta understand is you are not in control here.

I am in control.

You're gonna put
the gun down...

Lieutenant.
First responder's off the rails.

He's been yelling at the HT.
He's got him all worked up.

Where's Tactical?

Five away.

Look, pal,
this is getting ridiculous.

We both know you're not
gonna shoot anyone.

Why don't you call me back
when you're ready to talk?

Officer, situation?

HT's name is Grady. Two hostages.
Witnesses heard gunfire.

When I arrived,
he yelled out if anybody tries to come in,

he'll shoot them both.

That's it?

He says his lawyer cheated him out of $10,000 and he wants it back.

Who's working the log?

Hey, I've been trying to keep this guy from killing two people.

There hasn't been
time for a log.

Have you talked
to any of the hostages?

Do you know if anyone
needs medical attention?

You're relieved.
Everything gets written down.

Get the HT on the phone.

Hey, I'm the one keeping this from blowing up.

Hey.
Hold it.

Yes?
- Mr. Grady?

Yes.

This is Lieutenant
Phoebe MacNamara.

GRADY Is that the way you people think you can talk to me?

I have a gun.
No, that was someone else.

You'll be talking to me now.
Is everyone okay in there?

I don't wanna talk anymore.

No one is listening to me.
No one cares.

I'm listening,
Mr. Grady. I care.

No, you don't.

Put that back.

So, you did not
call for backup,

you did not start a log,

you did not ask
about the hostages.

Not to mention,
you goaded the HT.

I had it under control.

I took statements from all the officers on the scene and the hostages.

They all described how you berated the hostage-taker.

You're just looking for someone to blame for your screw up.

My actions will
hold up, Officer.

Yours won't.

You're suspended
for 30 days.

No, no, no,
you are not running off on me like this.

You're free to protest
the suspension,

but Captain McVee is in complete agreement with me.

Which comes as no surprise,
considering you're doing him.

I'm sorry,
what did you just say?

This is gonna get
worse for you, bitch.

That's a promise.

Badge and weapon, Officer.

I got it, I got it,
I got it, I got it.

Hi. You must be Carly.

Hi.

You look beautiful.

Thanks.

More flowers?

Oh, yeah. Oh, no.
These aren't for you.

These are for you.

Thanks.

Thank you.

Duncan, this is
my mother, Essie.

Hi, Duncan.
Hi.

Would you like a drink?

Oh, that's okay, Mom.
We should probably get going.

Bye. I love you.

I love you, too.

Carly, come here.

I love you.

Carly's pretty well
adjusted, considering.

Her father took off when she was a year
old and has only seen her twice since.

He's a jerk.

Well, at least
she has you.

And your mom,
which is great for you because you have a built-in babysitter.

Yes and no.
Yeah?

She's agoraphobic,
so...

Agoraphobic?

Like she can't
leave the house?

Yeah.

Oh wow, that's tough.

How long has she
been like that?

It's been about 15 years.

Wow.

Not a second date story.

Yeah. Okay.

So, where are we going?

We are going that way.

Oh, my gosh.

I love this Ferris wheel.

Yeah.

I thought they were
gonna tear it down.

They were.

I bought it from the city and I restored it,
then I donated it back to them.

Couldn't stand the thought of it just sitting in some dump, somewhere.

Used to ride it all the time when I was a kid.

You kidding? So did I.
What?

Do you remember the guy who ran it?
Benny.

Benny.
Benny.

And he had a glass eye.

Yeah, and neither
of them matched.

No.

Appetizer?

Ooh! Cotton candy.

Mmm-hmm.

Thank you, sir.

You're welcome.

Oh, dude.

I'm sorry, Bill.
Can I have one, too?

Here we are.
Thanks.

So what's for dinner?

Ah, we have

corn dogs,

onion rings
and "zee French fry."

Well I have to say,
I'm impressed.

Really? I wasn't
trying to impress you.

Yes, you were.

Wanna take a ride?

Lieutenant?
I might have to take a day off later this week.

That's fine.
Just let me know, okay?

Lieutenant?

Annie, can it wait?
I'm gonna be late, okay?

I know, right.

What I was gonna say is that,
I know I'm new here,

but I just I hope I'm doing a good job.
So...

You're doing great.

Sorry.

He came up behind me,
slammed me into the wall, disabled me.

Did you see who it was?

He anticipated
all my defense moves,

knew how to use the cuffs,
knew where I'd have my piece.

A cop?

Meeks.

Someone took the teddy bear out of my office,

left it mutilated
on my front stoop.

What?

He would've
had access to it.

Phoebe, I promise you,
I will find the son of a bitch who did this to you.

Now, if it was Meeks,
I'll make sure he pays.

I want you to
take five days.

Now, let's pretend I said a week,
you said three, and we settled on five. Okay?

Liz, make sure
she gets home.

Liz, I need somewhere to fall apart.
I can't do it at home.

You can go to my place.

I've got some family in town but I'll get rid of them for the day.

No. No, no, no, it's okay.
I'll figure it out.

How you doing?

Look, I'm sorry to have
just dumped this on you.

I'm good to go.

Will you stop?

This is the best third date
I've ever been on.

Brought you some tea.

And my own little personal
remedy for black eyes.

I had to use it
a few times myself.

Hey.

Where are you?
Still here?

Yeah, it's just,
I was thinking about the last time I felt like this.

My dad was dead
a couple of years.

And my mother had a restraining order against her boyfriend.

He broke in one night
with a shotgun.

Took my mother,
my younger brother and me hostage.

The cops came and Dave,
my boss now, was the negotiator.

And he talked him out?

Not exactly.

I put sleeping pills
in his food.

How old were you?

Twelve.

Well, I hope they put that guy away for a long time.

Yeah, he died in prison
a few years ago.

You wanna tell me what
happened today, Phoebe?

I got jumped
in the stairwell at work.

By who?

Someone who has a problem
with my authority.

Another cop
did this to you?

Who?

I think I know,
but I don't have enough proof.

Just give me his name.

Hey, I'm the cop.

I'll do this my way.

Look, I got to get
back to the house.

Are you gonna drive me home or are you gonna make me walk?

What happened to your face?
Mom, Mom.

What happened, Phoebe?
Mom, I'm okay. It's okay, Mom.

Look at your lip!
Shh! I'm okay.

Mom, I can't have
Carly down here.

Will you go check
on her for me? Please?

Are you gonna be alright?
Yeah, I'll be fine.

Please go check
on her for me.

Okay, I will but...

Thanks, Mom.
It's okay. It's okay.

You gonna be okay?

Yeah.

Thank you so much for today.

You have no idea how much it helped me,
on so many levels.

I can stay.

On the couch.

I'll be fine.

Call me if you need
anything, okay?

Okay.
Okay.

Feel better.

Thank you.
Okay.

Mama, can I sleep
with you tonight?

Of course you can,
sweetheart. Come on.

Come under here.

I like your PJs.

I like yours.

Come here.

Good night.

Good night, Mommy.

The mechanic called.
He said he could bring the car by later.

The plumber
can come Tuesday.

Thank God for Visa.

Duncan also called.

He said he wants to know
how you're doing.

Can you tell me again
what happened to you?

Mommy fell running down
the stairs, sweetie.

How?

I wasn't paying attention.

Hey.

Wow.

You look like crap.

Thanks. You should've
seen it before the makeup.

Those from him?
Yeah.

And he made you tea.

God, it's like you found a dodo bird.
Men like him are extinct.

Yeah, I mean
he's great, now.

But sooner or later
they all start to bark?

We get to do
our new jumps today.

Oh, you do?

Tell me you're arresting Arnie Meeks.

Let's go over
what happened again.

Okay. I came in,
dropped my stuff off.

I was late, so I was rushing.
Headed downstairs.

Did you stop anywhere,
talk to anyone?

No.

Oh, yeah. Annie Utz.

She just kept talking,
babbling on and on and on.

What, like
she was stalling you?

Annie, we brought you in to talk about
what happened to Lieutenant MacNamara.

I'm sorry she got hurt.

You were the last one to talk to her before she was attacked.

Sorry.

I'm really
not feeling good.

I think I might
have to go home.

Lieutenant MacNamara's
not feeling very well, either.

Someone jumped me
in the stairwell,

assaulted me,
and handcuffed me.

You kept talking to the Lieutenant even after she said she'd be late.

You set her up,
didn't you?

Annie, did you plan
this with Meeks?

Annie,
look at me!

Sorry.

I'm sorry,
I didn't know.

He told me how you came onto him and how he turned you down.

He said he would've filed charges but
you were sleeping with the Captain.

And you
believed that?

I'm sorry.

He said he just needed a few minutes to talk to you.

I'm so sorry.

My client stipulates that he and Lieutenant MacNamara hold

opposing viewpoints,
professional styles.

And that's hardly motive for a physical attack on her person.

Now, the lack
of evidence here...

You don't much like Lieutenant MacNamara,
do you, Arnie?

No.

Do you remember why you were in her office last Thursday?

Of course I do.

She was covering her own ass by suspending me

after she screwed up
that hostage negotiation.

First responder
did not call for backup.

Officer Meeks antagonized the HT with threats.
Also...

Ask her who was on the phone with the HT when he blew himself away.

Look, you need...

These are statements from the other officers present at the scene.

How long have you been cheating on your wife with Annie Utz?

She came onto me, I turned her down.
She's making this up.

Funny.
'Cause Annie said that you told her I came onto you.

God, women just make
your life a living hell.

In fact,
I'm actively restraining myself from coming onto you right now.

Keep it up, Detective,
and this interview is over.

What kind of man lies in wait like a snake in the grass, huh?

You so afraid of her that you had to jump her in the stairwell?

I was never
in that stairwell.

Yes, you were.

You know,
you could've raped me,

but I figured you knew you didn't have
what it takes to make an impression.

All right,
this interview is over.

That's been a big problem in life for you,
hasn't it, Arnie?

You can't back it up with the goods,
on the street, in the bedroom,

or even in a stairwell where the only way
you could feel me up was to cuff me.

You're lucky
I didn't break your neck!

Arnold Meeks,
you're under arrest.

Look,
you can't arrest him.

You provoked him
into saying that.

Watch me.

Believe me,
this isn't over.

Let's go.

Mom. Mom, it's okay.
Come on, let's go inside.

Phoebe.

Come on, come on,
let's go inside.

I'm so sorry.

Hey, don't apologize, okay?

I'm so sorry.

Come on, let's sit down.
Come on. Come on, let's go.

I'm useless.
No.

You're hurt.
We need groceries.

Well, Domino's delivers.

Come here. I'm okay.

I love you.
I love you, too, Mom.

I'm sorry.

Hey, don't say
you're sorry, okay?

I'm sorry.

It's okay.
It's okay.

What else?

Yogurt.

Next?

Eggs.

I didn't do it.

Someone's gonna
call the cops on me.

Hey, I am the cops.

Oh, good. Yeah.

You're safe.
Thank you.

Listen, I just...
It doesn't...

What's next?

What's the matter?

Nothing, I'm fine.
What was after eggs, though?

Wait, who is that?

It's no one.
It's no one.

No, that's him, isn't it?
Why isn't he in jail?

It's called bail. Duncan, let it go.
It's called bail?

Hey. Hey.
Duncan!

Hey, make you feel like a big guy to jump on a woman?

Duncan!

Son of a bitch.

Okay, buddy, you can't
touch me. I'm a cop.

Yeah, I wanna do a lot more...
Hey Duncan, can you stop it?

Oh, do you?
Stop it!

You're a cop?
All I see you got is a badge. Duncan!

MacNamara,
control your boy.

Let it go.

If you don't let it go,
I'm gonna walk out of here right now.

It's a good decision.

Were you
out of your mind?

Do you know what
you could've done?

What? Look, I don't
care if he's a cop.

I don't care
if you're a cop.

That's not what
I'm talking about.

He hasn't been tried yet.

Do you know how you
could've screwed that up?

And how do you think
this is gonna make me look?

It's gonna be all over the office.
I'm sorry.

You just undermined me in ways you can't even imagine.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry, okay?
I wasn't thinking. I'm sorry.

Yeah, no kidding.

Officer,
let's lock down this block.

It's a hell
of a first day back.

Better than
doing paperwork.

You sure you're
ready for this?

What do we got?

We got four hostages in an abandoned diner across the street.

HT's name is Charles Jackson,
street name Razz.

- Gang kid?
- Yup.

One of the hostages
got out the back.

He says the HT is a 16-year-old I-70 wannabe.

Blood Eight shoots his older brother,
who's also a gang member.

HT goes looking for the shooter in one of their hangouts to get revenge.

He surprises them.
Target's not there.

Kid shoots the place up
and takes hostages.

He got family?
Yeah.

Mother's at the hospital
with the brother as we speak.

He's in serious
but stable condition.

We sent somebody over to pick her up,
she's on her way now.

We've got two snipers in position,
Sierra One and Four.

Second floor upstairs.

Can they get a visual?

Window's too mucked up.
They can't take him out.

So what's this kid's play?

Well, he wants us to find the guy he thinks shot his brother.

We send the shooter in,
he sends the hostages out.

He's got a sheet.
Just petty stuff.

God, he's a baby.

What about the kid
who shot his brother?

Jerome "Clip" Sagget.

Not a baby, a real bad-ass.

He's gone under
and nobody's talking.

Okay, let's get going.
Liz, you're my secondary.

Okay.
Is his phone locked down?

Yes.

You got him yet?

Razz, this is Phoebe MacNamara,
police negotiator.

Is anyone hurt in there?

They will be, you don't get
me Clip in 10 minutes!

Okay, we're working on it but we're gonna need some more time.

Ten minutes.
Then I shoot someone.

Okay, Razz, don't get upset.
Everything's gonna work out.

Nothing's gonna work out
until I put a bullet in Clip!

What if I find out
how Puppet's doing?

Is he okay?
They still working on him?

I can call a doctor for you but you're gonna have to give me more time.

What you got?

A half hour.
You tell me what he says.

And you get me Clip!

Good work.

My boys come
from a good family.

They went to good schools.

And still...

Mrs.
Jackson, is there anything that you can tell me

about Charles
that would help me?

Is there anything
he responds to?

If there is,
I haven't found it.

Okay, listen to me.

No matter what you
hear me say to your son,

I want you to know that I'm doing my best to bring him out alive.

Do you trust me?

You have kids?

I have a daughter.

I trust you.

Razz,
I've got good news.

We have Clip in custody.

You bring him to me.

He had a gun on him,
same caliber as the one that shot your brother.

We're testing it. If it matches,
Clip's going away for a long, long time.

That's not enough!

Razz, Clip was hiding,
hiding like a punk.

His rep's gone.

You can kill him,
but prison's gonna be a lot worse.

He's never gonna know
when it's coming.

Clip was hiding?

I wanna see him.

I wanna see him locked up!

You a tough guy, huh?
Tough guy, huh?

I can bring you to him.

You better not be
lying to me, bitch.

You got my word, Razz.

Okay. I'm coming out.

Then you're gonna
take me to see him.

Okay, Razz, here's
what you're gonna do.

You're gonna open
the door slowly,

slide the gun out
onto the ground,

then put your
hands up, okay?

I have a shot.
Do I have a green light?

No. Stand down.

Shots fired! Get back!

What the hell?

Stand down!

He shot my little boy!

Stand down!

Charles!

It's gonna be okay.
It's gonna be okay.

We gotta go.

Hey.

Hey.
How you holding up?

Okay.

Casings we found in the shooter's apartment were .223's.

Our boys were using .308's.

Somebody got through
the police line.

Yeah, I didn't think
it was one of us.

What?

Meeks cut a deal.

Okay, what kind of deal?

He's off the job.
No benefits.

He pleads to assault,
he gets probation.

And what, he has to write
on the blackboard 100 times,

"I promise to be a good boy"?

His dad is a captain
in Narcotics, Phoebe.

The brass wants
this put away.

Yeah, I'm sure there was
only so much you could do.

Phoebe, he assaulted
you in my house.

You think I didn't
fight them on this?

Sounds to me like you were
the one who cut the deal.

Duncan.

Happy Halloween.

Hi, Carly.

Ready?
See, that doesn't...

We gotta dig in there
and get it with our hands.

Isn't that great?
Get it all out.

There's no room for the two of us in here.
I've got more goop than you.

- Wait a minute.
- No, wave to Mommy.

Hi. Say, "Hi, Mommy."

"Hi, Mommy."

We're carving pumpkins
for Halloween.

Look at mine.

Look at mine.

Yeah, it looks great.

Ready? Go, go, go.

Hey.
Hi.

You remember how you told me to let go every now and then?

Yeah.

I shot my car.

That's not really
what I had in mind.

Sixteen-year-old boy
died in my arms today.

Promised his mother
I'd get him out alive.

Didn't.

This is my life, Duncan.

Are you sure you wanna be a part of it?

Did you tell her any of the stories about when you and Phin were kids?

No. And we're not
going to, remember?

They got
in so much trouble.

I'm serious.

Oh, come on.

So, as the best friend,
I have a very important question for you.

Okay.

Are you packing right now?

Phin.
What?

Please ignore my husband.

"Do you have a gun in an ankle holster?"
Seems to me

to be a legitimate
question to ask a house guest.

A lady never
divulges her secrets.

See that?
Girl's got manners.

So then, what is she
doing with Duncan?

The best to you.

Duncan's brought
girls around before.

But he's never brought one around for my approval.

How am I doing?

Depends on your
plans for him.

What exactly are you
worried about?

I'm not in it
for the money.

She read
you pretty fast.

Actually, I think what Ma Bee's trying to say is,
"If you toy with him,

"we'll hunt you down."

Do I seem like the kind of girl who toys?

Hey.

Hey, sweetie.

That looks really pretty.

Thank you.

What are all
the spots on him?

He's got hearts
and butterflies.

He got the chickenpox.

What?

Hi, Roy.

Hey,
how are you guys?

Yeah, we're fine.
Listen, if this is about the check,

I could really use it right now.
The house is...

Yeah, it's not about that.

What?

Yeah, I just wanted to let you know I'm engaged.

You're getting married.

Well, congratulations.

What's wrong?
Your tone sounds kind of funny.

No, Roy,
my tone's not funny.

It's like you're not happy
for me or something.

So, you wanna
talk to Carly?

You know what? I gotta run,
but I'll call you back later, okay?

Right. But of course.
Okay. Bye.

Here comes the beep.
You know what to do.

Hey Duncan, it's Phoebe.
Listen, I can't do today.

Something came up.

But I will call you later.
Okay. Bye.

Liz. I need you
to come over here.

Here.
Thanks.

So you deal with crime
scenes on a weekly basis,

but you're scared
of a snake.

Its head is bashed in.

So first the teddy bear,
now this?

Think it could be Meeks?

I don't know.

Don't underestimate his ego.

Didn't you have
a lunch date with Duncan?

Yeah, I canceled.

Why?

Roy called this morning.
He's getting remarried.

Who gets the sympathy card?

So what?
You think Duncan's gonna crush your heart

and stomp all over
it like Roy did?

Doesn't strike me
as the type.

Well, Roy didn't strike
me as the type either.

You were young
and stupid.

And he was really stupid.
Still is.

Hmm.

It's him.

Duncan.
Hey, Detective Liz Alberta.

Listen, Phoebe
knows she canceled,

but she just realized she hasn't had sex for over a year.

So if it's okay with you,
she'll be right over.

Okay.

Break a leg.

Oh, my God!
God, you are so fired!

Come on, Phoebs.
How could you do that?

I gotta live
through someone.

Oh, my God.

Hey.

Sorry I canceled.

? Asked you to dance
then followed you home

? Torn by a love
that didn't belong

? I know

? There's something
between us

? And fall

? Cursed by your memories

? That never ever,
ever fade away

? And reach

? Reach for those memories

? Of me on the ground

? You're hair
in my lifeless hand

? And they won't come near me

? And they won't come haunt me

? And they won't
come near me at all ?

It's a nice place.

Hard to appreciate
last time I was here.

I was gonna build
a place for my mom.

And she said
if I really loved her

I'd buy her a place in Vegas
and stake her 50 grand.

So I built this
for myself.

What about your dad?

He left when I was 10.

No wonder you get Carly.

Whatever happens with us,

will you do me a favor
and let her down easy?

You mean let you down easy?

Hey.

I'm not going anywhere.

Phoebe, it's Dave.
Hey, Dave.

We got a situation
at the cemetery.

What?

Rolling Hills Cemetery?

For me specifically?

I'll take you.

No, I'll get myself there.

Hey, Dave.
What's the deal?

We have a collar bomb
with a clock connected to it.

The bomb squad
says it's live.

Our victim was ordered to call 911 and ask for you directly,
by name.

He's wearing an ear bud,
he's wearing a microphone.

He says the guy who did this can hear everything.

We got a name?

Says he can only
give it to you.

What's the radius
of a collar bomb?

It's limited.

It's designed to...

Blow his head off.
Gotcha.

Stay with her.

Sir? Phoebe MacNamara.

Roy!

Phoebe, help me, please.

Okay, check on my family.
Get a cop on the door.

Yeah, I got it.
I got it.

I need a car dispatched
to 231 Magnolia.

Make sure the cop stays on the door till they hear from me.

Roy, I'm gonna need you
to calm down, okay?

He's gonna kill me.

Who is?

I don't know.

Somebody put a gun to my head and threw me in the trunk of my car.

What kind of car is it?

Audi A4.

We're looking for an Audi A4.
Standby.

What's the plate number?

Jesus, I don't know,
just get this thing off of me!

Roy, stop your whimpering.

Wait, wait.

He's talking to me.

You repeat everything
that I say to you.

He wants me to say
what he's saying.

Phoebe, you little bitch,

you cost me.
And now I'm gonna cost you.

Phoebe, you bitch,
you cost me and now I cost you.

What did I cost you?

You'll remember
soon enough.

Can you give me a name,
something I can call you?

Yeah, sure.
You can call me Cooper.

Sure, you can
call me Cooper.

Do you actually care about
this worthless piece of crap?

Do you really care about
this worthless piece of crap?

I don't wanna see him or anyone else get hurt, okay?

Now you haven't hurt
anyone yet, Cooper.

You tell that
to Charles Jackson.

Tell that to
Charles Jackson.

You shot Charles Jackson?

You worked
so hard to save him.

You worked
so hard to save him.

Is there someone else
I didn't save?

Are the roses for her?

Figure it out, Phoebe.
Maybe you'll save yourself.

Figure it out,
Phoebe and maybe you'll save yourself.

Time's up.
Goodbye, Phoebe.

See ya soon.

What? No! No!

No, Cooper, wait!

No, please!

Bring Meeks in first thing in the morning.

Fine, but this
isn't Meeks.

It's about an old case,
someone who didn't make it out alive.

Okay, look. Why don't you leave this with me tonight,
get some sleep.

I'll talk to these guys,
have 'em stay. Okay?

Thanks.

What's happening?
What's going on?

I gotta go to the office.
You need police protection.

You're gonna go
into the office now?

Yeah, I gotta
go through my files.

You can do that
in the morning.

I could, but I'm just
gonna do it now.

I'll get the cops
to escort you home.

I'm not going home and I don't need a police escort, either.

He wired your car.

And right now you need to stay as far away from me as possible.

So either you let me
put the cops on you

or I'm gonna put you
in protective custody.

Phoebe MacNamara.

Hiya, Phoebe.

Cooper?

Good thing your boyfriend
didn't stay in the car, huh?

Why don't we get together,
Cooper, just you and me?

I didn't see your little girl getting ready to go off to school this morning.

Hope she's feeling okay.

Did it make you feel good to put a dead snake outside my house?

And the bear?

You know, actually,
the bear was your friend Meeks.

It was just
a nice coincidence.

Why don't you just tell me who she was,
who I didn't save.

And ruin all the fun?
I don't think so.

You know,
I could've taken out you and your boyfriend

on the Ferris wheel
the other night.

I had the shot.

I think next time,
I'll give myself the green light on that.

Bye for now.

Hey, did you get that?

Sorry, Lieutenant.
We recorded the call,

but we just didn't
get the trace.

You wanted to see this?

Yeah. Thanks.

Our boys said the car bomb
was detonated by cell phone.

The leads to Roy
weren't even hot.

The C4 was children's clay.

Hey, this is that apartment
where Razz was shot from.

Is this clock here
in Evidence?

It would've been brought
in for fingerprinting.

Can you grab that for me?

This is the clock from the apartment where Cooper shot Razz.

No prints. Hands frozen at noon.
No batteries.

This one from the cemetery was at
11:57 a.m. when I started talking to Roy.

Real time was actually like 3:00 p.m.

It hasn't stopped.

It's three hours earlier.

So he's sending us a message,
but why noon?

Okay, he kills Razz, he blows up the car.
What else do we know?

He's looking for revenge.
Someone he was close to I didn't save.

Give me the specifics.

He's been tracking me.
He followed Duncan and I to the park.

He's been
watching the house.

Put the snake
on the porch.

What?

No, the night Duncan
dropped me home,

I thought I saw someone
across the street.

Seemed like he was
watching the house.

Then I realized
he was walking a dog.

I looked outside 'cause
I heard him whistling.

That's the tune
he was whistling?

Yeah.

That's the theme
from High Noon.

Hmm? High Noon?

You're kidding.

Oh! My God,
I am old.

It's a classic western,

obviously made before your time,
starring Gary Cooper.

Cooper?

Cooper, noon, shootout.
What else?

In his call to me, he said,
"I had the shot.

"Next time, I'll give myself the green light on that."
That's cop talk.

If he's a cop,
that would totally explain how he'd breached the perimeter

on the Charles Jackson case.
Could've been in uniform.

Captain, Lieutenant,
we found Roy's Audi at the long-term parking at the airport,

but it was wiped clean.

So he leaves his car
in long-term parking,

rents a car one way or takes a plane to Roy's house in Rockville.

Good. Bull, look
into one-way tickets

and car rentals with a drop-off in Montgomery County.

Liz.
Yeah?

You're with Phoebe on this 24-7.
Let's get to work.

Philippa Delray.

Carjackers killed her,
took her 5 year old daughter hostage.

They surrendered,
the girl was unharmed.

Philippa's brother,
Ray Sanchez,

was in the army at the time,
weapons specialist.

Now he's a cop in Vice.

Let's see
if he was off duty.

He was in Central Booking
that night with a prisoner.

Angela Brentine.

She was injured when armed robbers took over a bank.

Negotiation took four hours.

She bled out inside the bank
before I could get her out.

Husband's Joshua Brentine.

The real estate developer?

Wasn't there a rumor
he had a honey on the side?

Teller's witness statement
said she was there

to withdraw all her money from one account and close it.

Huh!

Husband's statement says he didn't know about that account.

So if you were married
to a really rich guy,

why would you have
a secret bank account?

In case the really
rich guy dumps me.

Maybe she knew about
the honey on the side.

Yeah, but if he's
having an affair,

wouldn't he be happy the wife's dead and out of the way?

Why hold it against you?

Look at this. No ring.

So?
She was getting it sized or cleaned or she didn't wear a ring.

Or maybe she was
having an affair, too.

So the secret bank account's in case she wants to dump him.

Except even if that's true,
Brentine's still not that upset she's dead.

No, but her lover
would've been.

Her wedding would've
made the papers, right?

Maid of honor.
Best friend. That's good.

I'll look up
the wedding announcement.

Thanks, Liz.

We worked together.
We had this concept.

She specialized in weddings and I did screaming,
crying kids.

Fun way to generate
repeat business.

What was her husband like?

Controlling, annoying,
miserable human being.

They weren't going anywhere.
She wanted kids and he didn't.

Is that why she
had the affair?

The affair.

Look, Angela was so into romance,
the roses, the jewelry.

And this guy,
he played it to the max.

She said he even wanted to pick out names for their kids.

Angela never had a sister,
so she wanted two girls, Mabel and Vivian.

You didn't like him?

Actually,
I never met him.

Didn't even know his name.

She was very private about him,
didn't want her husband to find out.

I know he bought
her jewelry from Mark D's.

They weren't big items,
but they sent her over the moon.

Glynis, do you know why she was in the bank that day?

I think they were
planning on running away.

She came in the day
before she died

and she said that she wanted
to cash out of the business.

You know where they
were planning on going?

She said they always wanted to buy a ranch in Wyoming,
call it Camelot.

I figured that's
where they were going.

Do you still have
any of her cameras?

Oh, I have one.

But if you're looking for any pictures on the memory card,
there aren't any.

She was a Nazi
about uploading.

Liz.

She used to paint little pink rosebuds
on the bottom of all of her equipment.

He sent her pink roses
every Monday.

Can you excuse me?
If I don't get this shot in the next ten,

there's gonna be
a nuclear meltdown.

Sure. Thank you.

There were pink roses all around the grave where Roy was.

This is our guy.

Hello.

Hey.
Hey.

There was a tripwire on the door,
set on a five-second delay.

His neighbor said
he stepped back

to help her with her groceries and boom,
it went off.

Saved his life.

I want two officers
outside ICU at all times.

Already done. 203.

I saw him.

Dave?

Dave.

What happened?

Cooper. He rigged
your front door.

I saw him.

He wanted me to see him.

Phoebe, he's a cop.

You know him?

Yeah, he was SWAT.

Walker.

No.

Walken. Walken.

Name's Jerald Dennis Walken.
SWAT sniper. And get this.

He was set up outside the bank the day Angela was killed.

He was waiting outside while I negotiated.
He couldn't do anything.

He moved out of his place a few days after he quit the department.

No forwarding info.

What about Wyoming?
Angela's friend said...

I checked.

There's no ranches listed in his name,
none called Camelot.

What about his credit cards?
Canceled.

At least the ones we know about.
Bank accounts, too.

Sold his pickup truck,

and also registered to him are a 9 mm,
a .32 and a hunting rifle.

Friends, family?

No family.
His friends haven't seen him since he quit.

He just disappeared
off the map.

We've got the entire department out there looking for him.

Let you know as soon
as we hear something, okay?

Thanks.
Yeah.

Hello.

Hey, Duncan, it's Phoebe.

Hey, I'm just checking in.

So, something
happened with Dave.

Yeah, I know.

Is he gonna be all right?

Yeah, he's gonna be okay.

Good.

You've been here
this whole time?

I hired Suicide Joe back.

It seemed like the right thing to do.
He's in therapy.

What? What are you thinking?

How glad I am
that I found you.

You know what we need
when this is all over?

What?

A vacation.

A vacation?

Yes, a vacation.

Where?

Disney World.

Now that the psycho
killer is caught,

Phoebe and Duncan
are going to Disney World.

And Carly.

Carly would love
Disney World.

You wanna take Carly
to Disney World?

Maybe just Carly,
now that I think about it.

Duncan.

Will you marry me?

Where's the ring?

You don't have a ring?

What kind of half-assed proposal is this if you don't even have a ring?

Well, been kind of busy.

Yeah? I was gonna propose to you at Disney World,
but I would've had a ring.

Is that a yes?

Yes.

Hello.
- Hi.

To what do I owe the honor
of a 10:00 a.m. phone call?

Just wanted to see if you had any plans for lunch.

Well,
I'm having lunch with Loo.

Ah! All right.

I guess you won't wanna help me pick out a ring for Phoebe then, huh?

Oh! I can reschedule.

Yeah, I know my wallet's gonna regret this,

but bring Loo, too, okay?

Okay.
Where're we doing this?

Mark D's.

What, did you win the lottery or something?

How's noon?

That works.
Hey, Duncan,

you done good.

I know.
Believe me, I know.

Any progress finding him?

He knows you saw him.
So he's got two options, cut and run

or finish this.

He's gonna finish it.

Are you ready for that?

Hey, Captain. Lieutenant.

Airport Budget said they rented a car to a Samuel Grimes,

one-way with a drop-off
in Middletown.

Here. Got a copy
of the driver's license.

That's him.

Darker hair and glasses,
but that's him.

Address in Nevada?

Yeah, but he paid
with a Visa.

We've got a billing address
down on Tybee Avenue.

That's too easy.
Why not just pay cash?

He knows we're gonna
find this address.

He wants you to go there.

Phoebe, be careful.

Toothbrush and razor are still there.
He's not running.

No, but it doesn't
mean he's coming back.

You're gonna
wanna see this.

Holy crap.

It's real time.

Phoebe.

Timing mechanism.

No weapons.

No photos.
Memory card's empty.

I think he's done here.
He knew we'd find this place.

Question is,
where is he now?

Why photos
of these locations?

Look.

Same photos on the laptop,
same order.

Except these ones
aren't up there.

And if he took them with him,
they must mean something, they must have a purpose.

They're targets.

Think he's giving
himself the go?

Yeah, I do.

And it's gonna
be today at noon.

Question is, where.

Maybe it's the bank.

Too obvious.

Look. It's that
jewelry store, Mark D's.

It's not up there, either.

Yeah, it's romantic,
it sure as hell makes a statement,

and Angela's friend said he bought her jewelry from there.

He's got a $3,000 charge from there the month before Angela died.

That is a big item.

That's it. He proposed.
Or he was going to.

Got 23 minutes.

We're early.

Okay.
That means we can take a couple laps before he gets here

and check out
the good stuff.

May I help you, ladies?
Oh, yes.

Yes, please.
I was thinking of a gold-beaded pendant with diamonds.

Engagement rings, please.

Excuse me.
Would you give me a moment?

Kevin.

Sorry.
Engagement ring, right?

You've got to take
the deliveries around back.

Oh!

I'll tell you what.

You!

I didn't touch it.
No?

Do it. Hit the alarm! Do it!

I want everyone to move to the back of the store now.
Everyone, move it.

Right there. Right there.

Now get on the floor.

Not you.

You, you move over here,
right now. Now.

Now get down.
Get down, right now.

Down. Empty your pockets
and your purses.

Turn them inside out.

I want you to put the contents on the floor in front of you, now.

Anyone reaches for a cell phone or a weapon and this woman gets it.

Am I perfectly
clear on that? Good.

You. Stand up.
Stand up now!

If you hesitate again,
I will blow your head off.

Turn the alarm off.
Do it.

Pick up the phone.

Dial 911.

This call came in
four minutes ago, Lieutenant.

This is Mark D.

There's an armed man holding me and
seven other people hostage in my store.

He has guns and explosives.

He says if he doesn't receive a phone
call from Lieutenant Phoebe MacNamara

by noon, he will shoot
one of the hostages.

Take the alley.

Lieutenant,
we're set up in here.

Go, go, go!
Let's go.

Get all your men
to keep those people back.

We don't have his phone
locked down yet.

What's the number?

Patch her line through the call box as soon as you can.

Answer it.

Let me
speak to the hostage taker.

It's for you.

Bring it here.

Jerry.
How's everyone doing in there?

You know who I am.

Congratulations, Lieutenant.

Everyone's fine.

Except maybe
the security guard.

You see,
he's got on a new jacket,

and I don't think
he likes it very much.

Are you saying you have explosives strapped to the security guard?

God, you're quick, Phoebe.

Why don't we start with you releasing some of the hostages?

No.

We'll start with the SWAT team that have their rifles trained on me.

You know the procedure.

I sure as hell do,
Lieutenant.

You get them to stand down right now or I will shoot a hostage.

Get back to me in five.

Bravo 1, 2, 3, stand down.

Stand down.

Okay. I'm coming.

We got a partial visual, Lieutenant,
from the Sierra Team

on the second floor,
adjacent building.

Five or six hostages.

Looks like there's a device rigged to the rear door.
What's our play?

The other snipers
in position?

Two others,
but they don't have a shot.

We have the green light?

He's gonna take himself
and them with him.

Phoebe, Phoebe. Phoebe.
Duncan.

He knows two
of the hostages.

Ma Bee and Loo
are in there.

What? Are you sure?

They were supposed to meet me at noon.
I parked behind Loo's car.

They're smart women.
They won't do anything stupid.

What if he knows
who they are?

There's no way he knew
they were in there.

And he's not
focusing on them.

You can get them out, right?

Right? Get him
to let the women out?

Right?

Look, I need you
to wait outside.

I gotta do my job.

Come on.

Yeah.

Is everyone okay in there?

Everyone's perfect,
Lieutenant.

No one's laying on the floor
bleeding out because of you.

Not yet.

Is there anything I can get for you,
or anyone else in there?

You know I could've put
that bomb in your car.

I thought about it.

Why didn't you?

Because then you wouldn't be here talking with me right now,
you stupid bitch.

Okay, look,
what can I do to help resolve this situation, Jerry?

Stick your gun in your mouth and pull the trigger,
that's what.

I thought you wanted
to talk this through with me.

I know you have things to say to me.
I'm here to listen to you.

Or do you wanna talk
to someone else?

You let her die.

I had the kill shot.
All you had to do was green light.

I know you blame me
for Angela's death.

I know how you feel.

But we didn't know Angela
was hurt in the first hour.

You should have.

He's still in the northeast corner of the store, here.

We don't have a shot
unless he moves.

And then we're shooting
through half-inch glass,

and that'll affect
the trajectory.

We could hit a hostage.
Yeah.

We need one shot to take out the glass,
the other the HT.

My explosive guys have looked at that rig at the rear door.

They think they can defuse
it and circumvent the alarm.

But they don't know.

Pretty damn sure.

I'll give you an hour,

then I'm gonna let the bomb squad take
that rig and go through the rear door.

It's been over an hour and there's been very little movement.

We understand there are at least seven hostages in the store.

Mark D's is a high-end
jewelry store

here in one of the city's most trendy shopping districts.

Jerry?

Not much fun
just waiting, is it?

There's absolutely
nothing that you can do.

Have you thought
about what you want?

$10 million.

Okay, I can get that started if you release the female hostages.

Send out the
female hostages.

You didn't care about
the women hostages

when you let Angela
bleed to death, did you?

Did you? No. No.

You're gonna do something for me, first.

You're gonna go in front
of those cameras out there

and you're gonna
make a statement

about how you're responsible
for Angela's death.

Then we'll talk about releasing the female hostages.

Lieutenant,
I'm moving my men into...

That your
backup, Phoebe?

You getting some pressure
to move things along?

So you'll release the hostages
if I make a statement.

No, I think
I've got a better idea.

You come in here

and you give that statement in front of me on my camera phone,

and I'll let all
the hostages go.

I come in, and you'll
let all the hostages go.

Yeah.

That's not gonna happen.

Do you want me
to try and stop...

No.

Whatever you say, sir.

Give me the log book.

Liz, I need a pink rose.

There's a florist
half a block down 16th.

She's coming out.

Okay,
I'm in the street, Jerry.

They just gave me
Angela's diary.

You're lying.

She didn't have a diary.

It's right here.
I just got it out of Evidence.

Read it to me.

Read it so I know
you're not lying.

She's got a rose
pressed in the pages here.

Just read it
so I can hear her words.

Quid pro quo, Jerry.
You gotta get me some hostages.

You read it right now.

"People always say,

"'you'll know when
you find the one.'

"Now I know what they mean.

"Everything seems better now.

"I can picture my life together with him at the ranch.

"At Camelot."

Keep reading.

I need you
to release hostages.

You can go. Go!

They're coming out.
People are coming out.

Right here, ma'am.
This way.

We got them.

I'm gonna need
more hostages, Jerry.

You read right now or I take everyone else sitting here out!

You hear me?

"We came up with names
for the girls today.

"Mabel and Vivian."

You get up. Get up!

He's moving.

Stay in front of me.
Stay in front of me!

Stay in front of me.
Stay in front of me.

Now you show me the rose.

You show it to me.

Then you come in here
and you make your statement.

You tell the world
how you killed Angela.

And then this is done,
it's over.

You send me more hostages
and I'll show it to you.

No, you just show it to me.

Two more hostages.

You two. Go, go! Get out!

Two more. Two more coming out.
Two more coming out.

Right here.
Come to me! Come to me!

Come on, come on, come on!
We got them.

This way.

Did you get it?
Yeah. Here you go.

Thanks.

Good luck.

Show it to me.

You show me it right now
or I will kill somebody!

Oh, my God.

Okay, I'm holding
up the rose, Jerry.

Don't mess with me.
I can't see it. Put it higher.

Can you see it now?

I can't see it.
Hold it up higher.

Get up. Stand. Get up higher.
Not that much.

You have a shot?

Negative.

I'm holding it up higher.

Hold it up higher.

Oh, my God!
Oh, my God!

Oh, my God.

So,

you ready to go
to Disney World now?

I'd settle for the Ferris wheel and a cotton candy.
