Absentia (2017–…): Season 3, Episode 1 - Episode #3.1 - full transcript

You sleep okay?

Wait a second.

I thought you were...

Did you sleep okay?

That bad?

Good morning.
Good morning.

- Hey, Mom. Hey, Dad.
- Hey, bud.

Hey.

Did you finish
your math homework?

Mostly.

Thanks.



Don't forget you got
swim practice today?

Yep. I know.

How's
the shoulder feeling?

- Is it still tight?
- Sort of.

You want me
to call the doctor?

I can set up
an appointment.

No, it's fine. It happens
at the start of every season.

It's not that
big of a deal, Mom.

It's Darren.

You were about to ask
who I'm texting.

No, I wasn't.

We drove him home
two weeks ago.

Don't bother with all that.

It's all "OMG" and "AF,"
which means...



Can I get
the Red Sox bowl?

The one we got
when we went to Fenway and...

Um...
On the bottom shelf,
there.

Yeah, okay.
I'll get it. Right.

It's in the cabinet
right there.

You want a spoon
for that?FLYNN: Sure.

All right,
I'm gonna get going.

Hey, bud, I'm gonna get
a haircut later on this week.

You wanna come with me?

All right.
Yeah?

Thanks. You wanna talk
about it later at dinner?

- Yeah.
- Okay.

I love you, guys.
Bye.

Can you
sign this?EMILY: What is this?

The state qualifying
trip permission form.

What? For when?

Um, overnight,
Springfield, Friday.

I'm just hearing
about this now?

I told Dad weeks ago.

Um, what's the big deal?

Look, I need to hear

about these things
ahead of time, okay?

The new swim coach
just gave them out
the other day, so...

You got
a new swim coach?

Mr. Rizzo.

That's him there.

The guy with
the white collared shirt?-

All right,
I gotta go.Okay.

Try not to get into
too much trouble.Okay.

I will try.

I love you.

I love you, too.
Bye.

Go!

And cartwheel
your hands down.

Chaturanga.

Good. Inhale.
Upward facing dog.

And exhale.
Downward facing dog.

Hold for five breaths.

Exhale.

Come on.

Inhale.

Plant down through the root
of your hands.

Exhale. Good.

Relax your shoulders.

Inhale.

Exhale.

Are you okay?

I'm sorry.
It's just not gonna
fucking work today.

Tell me
about Emily Byrne.

Her psych eval
was inconclusive.

I think she's trouble,
but I recall you were
high on her earlier.

Well, that was...

Yeah, I get it.

And what about you,
Julianne?

You settling in okay?

There's been a certain
amount of adjustments

since I took over
from Special Agent Crown.

Don't sweat it.
These things can take
a little time.

And on that note,
I should run.

Thanks for
the talk, Foster.

Talk soon. Take care.

Okay.

You're tipping.
Like hell I am.

Really?
I'm not tipping shit.

Watch.

Whoa!!

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Easy, tiger.

I'm hungover.

From last night?
No, from the weekend.

Hangovers last way longer
when you're over 30.

Yeah.

Never again.

I heard your reinstatement
hearing's next week.Wow!

No secrets
at the FBI?

I'm surprised
you wanna come back.

Why? Don't you miss me?

I've had better partners.

Nick Durand, FBI.

You guys called?

Yeah. Got a tip someone
was dumping something

that looked
a little suspicious.

Sent a car
to take a look-see.
Right over there.

Same deal
as the body
you found last week.

Thought you guys
would be interested.

Thanks.

Hey, you okay, bud?

Hey, Dad.

I wanna go
to Colorado this summer

for a swim program.

Colorado?

Really?

Well, I placed top three,
and they'll even pay for
room and board, so...

That sounds great
to me.

Makes me happy,
seeing you so passionate.

But, you know, unfortunately,
it's time for bed.

So get some sleep.
I love you.

I miss Mom.

I know you do.

Do you miss her?

Hey, what makes you
say that?

You never talk about her.

You do miss her, right?

I miss
all of the good times...

before everything happened.

You doing okay, Dad?

Yeah, I'm good.

Thanks for asking, bud.

I'll see you in the morning.

Hey.

It's an absolutely
crazy day.

Nick.
Yeah?

He deserves to know
the whole truth.

Not just some
half-assed lie.

Um...

We've been through this.

Too much info about this

could traumatize him.

Well, did you also
hear him mention

the swim camp in
Colorado this summer?

In Colorado?
For the whole summer?

It's what he wants.

I just barely agreed
to two days in Springfield.

Getting away from
things here, it might
be good for him.

Give him a little
breathing space
to grow up.

You know what?
I looked into
his swim coach.

Rizzo.

Rizzo?
Yeah.

Wait. What? Is there
something I should know?

I'm sorry. Never mind.
This is just...

This is all me.

Enjoy.
Thank you.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, she's really nice.
I mean, I like her.

Okay.

I get it, Mom. I mean...

Okay. Maybe I can
bring her over for dinner,
I don't know,

like next Friday
or something?

Yeah, I don't know why you
always gotta meet them
so early.

I mean, just
give me some time.

No, I want you
to meet her, right?

I told you, she's great.

I mean, she's
a high school teacher.

Some of my swimmers
are her students.

I really think
you're gonna like her.

Yeah.

Yes, I put on music.

No, the music doesn't mean
I don't wanna talk to you.

I just wanna play
some music.

I know, Mom. I know.

Yeah, no, I said next Friday.
I can do next Friday.

No, she's not another
blonde, okay?

Just... Okay.

All right, I really do have
to go, all right?

Guns and gangs are handling
that Dorchester seizure,

and Agent Serrano's
RICO case is wrapping up.

Any updates on your
murder investigation?

According to BPD,
the body of the young boy

was the third
they found this month.

Each had some
of their organs missing.

Are you thinking
serial killer?

Actually, no,
but it does fit another
ongoing investigation.

How's that?

I had someone
come forward

with information
about the body.

I'm gonna see
where it leads.

Right now, I'm waiting
for my source to give me
actionable intel.

And keep us posted.
Okay, that's it for now.

Agent Durand?
Yeah?

A word in my office.

I just wanted
to check in.

See how you were doing.

I heard you haven't been
attending your mandated
counseling sessions.

I think I've gotten
all I can out of them.

And I'm going to the gym,
work things out.

I'm just...

Just ready to put
things behind me.

Focus on the work.

It may sound strange,
but if, um...

If I can be of any help,

please don't hesitate to ask.

What, are you
spying on someone?

No, just recaffeinating.

Can you believe she'
got me fact checking
Serrano's RICO case?

Nothing but
a "make work" project

to waste
my goddamn time.

We've all got
grunt work to do.

You just forgot
how it feels.

Fuck off.

Hey, Canto,
can I ask you something?

Yeah, sure.

Do you like working
for Gunnarsen?

It's complicated.

Is it true that she...

Nick Durand's wife?

Yep.

Investigated
and exonerated.

Justified shooting.

That's so fucked.
Yep.

It's not a planet?
Or it is a planet?

It's not a planet.
It was downgraded.

It got upgraded again.

Again?

- It's a planet.
- Really?

What happened?
When did they
decide to do that?

I don't know.
They can do
what they want.

I should read up more
about our solar system.

Who are
the people who decide?

I'll be back.Excuse me.

Before, you were
starting to say something
about this other planet.

- What was it?
- Bamberga, yeah.

I traded my shift.

Not too late, am I?

Come on in.

I'm happy you're here.
Yeah, me too.

- Hey.
- Hey.

I'm glad you were
able to make it.

Did you leave
any food for me?

- You betcha.
- Plenty!

We got lasagna.
We've got some
more salad.

Yeah, I got you.
Thank you.

No problem.

Hey, Flynn.

How are you doing?I'm good.

- How have you been?
- Been busy.

Straight
from the hospital?

No,
I did have a shift,

but I canceled it
with the assistance
of my sister.

She can be convincing.
She can.

Flynn seems
to be coping well,

all things considered.

Yeah, somedays
I think he is, and then...

Trust me. I know a moody
teenager when I see one.

Flynn's doing good.

And that's on you.

Here, Dad.

So...

You and Nick are...

No, Dad.
No, and we are
both okay with it.

So what do you call it?

Platonic, Dad.

It is what it is,
so that Flynn can have

a safe, normal home
to grow up in.

After I left the army, I was
itching to get married
and have kids.

Just happened to me
later than most.

Have to think
these things have a way
of working themselves out

in their own way.

Yeah, well,
so far, so good.

Whatever you call it,

you and Nick seem to be
pulling it off,

and we're all
better for it.

I'm proud of you, Em.

Thanks, Dad.

Hey, so heard you work
in an ER now.

Like, a few days on.

Then you have a few off.
Or is it like...

No,
shift work mostly.

Yeah, it's very different
to the OR. It's intense,
but I'd say that...

Um...

Can I... Could I get
a water, actually?

Do you mind?
Yeah, sure, man.

Great, thank you.

I got it. I got it.
I'll get it for you.

Don't worry.
Thank you.Terrible host.

Water for Jack.

Nice.

I was wondering
where you were.

Hey.
What are you doing?

I was...

I was just looking
at some things.

These are
Alice's things.
Nick hasn't had...

Yeah. Yeah.
...a chance to...

You did it, didn't you?

Jack.

Jack, is it true?

Is it true?

After everything
that this family
has been through,

what the hell
were you thinking?

Fuck.

Flynn has been through enough.

You understand?

Tell me you understand.

I would never
say anything.

I'll see you downstairs.

Let's move!
Don't want Flynn to miss
the team bus to Springfield!

Call me when you
get there, yeah?I will.

Here you go, bud.
All right, be safe, okay?

Yeah.
Good luck!

Good to see you, Jack.
Yeah, you too.

Hey, don't be
a stranger, okay?

It's been a long time.

See you, sis.

That was very nice.

Good to have everybody over.

Yeah.

Are you okay

Yeah, just got
some dishes to do.

Who are you?

Please...
What are you
doing here?

Hey.
Whoa, whoa, whoa!

I came for him.
I came for him.Nick, who is this girl?

It's okay.

She's my source.

She's your source?

Regarding the body that
I was called in to yesterday.

It's okay. I trust her.
They found another one.

I know. I was there.

Why'd you come to our house?

They watch us.
You can't just
walk into the FBI.

My son lives here.
I didn't know
what to do, okay?

I'm sure that she wouldn't
have come...

If they find out
I'm talking to you,
they'll kill me.

...if she didn't have
a good reason.

Okay, fine,
what is this good reason?

You told me you wanted proof.

Tonight, something's
going down.

I need at least
24 hours. I can't...

It's happening tonight.

You need to go right now.

Please.

Okay, can you take me there?

No, I'll give you an address,
but I'm not going there.

God.
Okay? You go.

See it with your own eyes.

Then you have to
put me in protection.

If this checks out,
I will call you tomorrow.

No calls. We do this
in person as we agreed.

Done.
Good.

I'm sorry.

We'll talk about this later.
I have to go.

Nick, you don't know
if what that girl
was saying is the truth.

The FBI barely knows
anything about these bodies.

Fine, then do this
the right way and
get a team together.

You heard her. This is
happening right now.

I don't have time
to put a team together.

I gotta see it
for myself.

This is too dangerous
to do on your own.

Am I doing this
on my own?

Come on.
Come with me.

This is Special Agent Durand,

requesting immediate backup

at the Garneau
Industrial Park.

Make an incision,
for a kidney.

Yeah, go ahead.

FBI!

I got him! I got him!

They found another
makeshift operating room
on the far side.

Transplanted recipient
was whisked away in a car

once all hell broke loose.

Doctor and the guard got away.

Organ-harvesting ring.

Explains all
the recent dead bodies.

So your source
was right.

Maybe she'll be able
to help me find out
who's behind all this.

Glad you're okay.

None had ID.
A cursory look suggests

that they may be
of Middle Eastern
or South Asian background,

but we're not sure
if that's a connection
or coincidence yet.

But here's where
it gets interesting.

Pathology found dirt
under the fingernails,

and the preliminary
autopsy findings

suggest malnutrition.
I'm hoping that...

- Sir.
- Sir.

Deputy Director Webb saw
the bulletin this morning

about your
organ harvesting bust
and wanted to know more.

I'm just
catching everyone up.

Please continue,
Special Agent Durand.

I'm hoping that
a tox screen tells us more.

And how did they
end up in Boston?

That's a good
question. Um...

Undocumented people
being smuggled into
our country

without anyone
knowing they're here

does present a potential
national security issue.

Any idea who's behind
this operation?

Not yet,
but my source

claims to have
more information for us.

So last night may be
the tip of the iceberg?

I'm meeting my source tonight
to work out details

of their cooperation.

This is Webb.
Go ahead.

So, as I was saying,
I'm hoping

that the tox screen
tells us more.Special Agent Durand,

a word in my office.

It's all yours.

What was
Agent Byrne's role

in the organ-harvesting
takedown?

Emily came as my backup,
but I didn't have a chance...

She's under FBI suspension
and can't be involved.
Is that clear?

Crystal.

This source,
you trust the intel?

After last night,

yeah, I do.

Tell me about him or her.

With all due respect,
you know I can't
really do that.

Fair enough.

There's no good way
to say this,

so I'm gonna
cut to the chase.

I've seen Emily watching me
outside my place.

At first, I wasn't sure
it was her,

but then I saw her
a second time.

Clearly,
she doesn't accept

the DOJ exonerating me
for Alice's shooting,

but I need you to tell her
this ends now.

She's seen you
outside of her place.

Watching it.
Watching her.

And you believe
Gunnarsen over me?

Just tell me, is it true?

You weren't on that rooftop,
Nick. You know that?

No, I wasn't,
and I think about
that every day,

but now I...

I'm... I'm just
trying to move on.

Well, I'm just trying
to protect our son.

Me too, but,
Em, this is...

What you're doing
is not okay.

You know that.
Right?

If you keep this up,
they won't let you back.

They'll never
let you back.

I don't want
to go back.

There you go.

I need to get some air.
Talk about this later.

Em, I'm just trying to
figure out what's going on.

Yeah, good luck
with that.

I'm bolting.

Listen, we messed up.
Change of plans.

They're questioning everyone
so I sucked up
a ton of their data,

hacked their drives,
locked them out.

Okay. You need to
come in with me.

No, no, no.
There's no more time now,
okay? It's too late for that.

Sorry.

Excuse me. Have you seen...

Something happened.

She got spooked
and ran away.

Did you see anyone?

I think someone's here.

Nick?

Nick.

Hey.

Cal, Nick's in trouble.
I need you to meet me
at the house.

On my way.

Motherfucker!
