The Following (2013–2015): Season 3, Episode 12 - The Edge - full transcript
Ryan searches for Theo; Mark and Daisy gain information that brings them closer to the FBI.
You've been drinking.
What happened?
Where were you
last night?
I screwed up.
How could you do
this to us?
You got to give
me a chance.
- I'm done.
- No, no. Wait.
Joe: You still have me.
Josh: What the hell
are you doing with her?
I asked you
a question!
Unh! Ugh!
Theo: You're my
little sister, Penny.
I've been protecting you
since I was 10 years old,
and I'm not gonna
stop now.
You just need to stop
partying so much.
We're just going
to see Eliza.
Theo: I assume you
are familiar
with Ryan Hardy.
I can deliver
him to you.
What is that worth?
Someone has
my laptop.
They're using it
to watch Max.
Max: If someone is using the laptop,
we can find them.
The signal just
disappeared!
Everything OK?
It's the safe house
raid.
Some of the details
just aren't adding up.
No! No, no. You don't
understand. No, no.
[Gunshot]
Silas: I did manage
to track where
the laptop's been used.
It's inside the FBI.
OK. We just need to find
someone who can hack into the FBI.
Do you know anyone
that does that?
Because I sure
as hell don't.
Actually I do.
Who is it?
Someone
very unexpected.
Weapon.
Please.
Don't kill me.
I let you live because
you promised to disappear,
and yet,
here you are.
I need your help.
No. The contact site
I gave you was to
alert me of
an imminent threat.
I know,
but an opportunity
came up.
What kind
of opportunity?
A way to get
Ryan Hardy.
Hi there.
What makes you think
I need a way to get at Ryan?
If he was easy to kill,
he'd be dead by now.
[Door opens]
Look who I found.
Can I keep him?
He's kind of hunky.
Forget it.
You remember what happened
to your last pet.
We were just being
careful, OK?
We didn't know how
you'd react to being contacted.
I got to say
this is a pairing
I didn't expect.
Seriously, if you were
any kind of a man,
you would have killed her
for the way that she played you.
Theo: Easy.
Easy.
[As Luke]
Ha ha ha!
I thought you said
he was scary
because I'm
not impressed.
Mark, please.
OK. We all want
the same thing.
We can help
each other.
Not interested.
There's a corrupt agent
inside the FBI.
Interested now?
The Following S03E12
"The Edge"
Page me when she gets
back from X-ray.
I want to run
some more tests.
OK.
Give me a minute, Sandy.
Sure.
What are you
doing here?
I've failed you.
I know that,
but there's got to be
a way that I can fix us.
Ryan, you can't even
fix yourself.
It's clear you've
been lying to me
since the beginning.
How can I ever
trust you again?
I can get
on top of this.
I've... I've... I've
done it before.
You just got to give me
another chance.
I can't.
I love you.
It's not enough.
Oh, wait.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
After everything
we've been through,
this can't be it.
Can we talk later,
please?
I'm... barely hanging
on here, Doc.
I don't know. I...
Maybe.
Good, good.
Thank you.
[Knock on door]
- Hey.
- Hey.
What are you
doing here?
Oh, I wanted to see you,
so I brought
some coffee to sweeten
the deal.
Thanks.
Hey.
Um, I'm almost ready.
Do you want to just hang,
and we can go in together?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'll wait.
- OK.
- OK.
[Hair dryer blowing]
What are you doing?
I'm just looking
for a new book.
You mind if I
borrow this one?
Sure.
You ready to go?
Yeah, yeah.
Let's go.
How you holding up?
I'm good.
I'm not your
girlfriend
or your niece, Ryan.
You don't have to
pretend with me.
You let Joe screw with your head,
but that is over now.
He is dead.
You need to pull it together.
People are counting
on you...
Spare me the tough love,
all right?
Well, it wouldn't
be tough love if I did.
Look. You want to
throw away everything
you've built in the past year,
that's your call,
but Theo is gunning for you,
and that puts
everybody around you
in danger.
You really think you'd
be able to live with yourself
if Max or Gwen got killed
because you were half in the bag?
I'll see you
out there.
You have
a nice place.
Don't get
comfortable.
You won't be
here long.
Penny: Don't be an ass, T.
Does anyone
want something?
No, thank you.
[As Mark]
I'll take a water, please.
Penny: Sure thing.
So our friend traced
the laptop signal back
to the FBI in New York,
but he didn't have
the skill to get past the firewall.
It wouldn't matter
if he did.
Once the feds found
my hack,
they brought down
the iron curtain.
I haven't found a way
to pierce it.
Wait. I thought you were
a genius hacker.
I am, and you're only
alive because your spy
might just be what
I need to hack back in.
I'm confused.
You just said you couldn't
hack the FBI,
so how are you gonna find this guy?
Did your friend check
to see if the laptop
was the only computer
accessing the web portal?
- No.
- If he's smart,
he wouldn't bring it
back to his house.
That would be
too easy to trace.
We just have to
hope that he's dumb enough
to log on from
a second computer.
[Cell phone chimes]
Excuse me a minute.
Eliza wants to meet.
You think
it's legit?
I think we always
plan for the worst.
This was a mistake.
Just hold it
together.
We just need
that name,
and then we're
out of here.
Theo:
Change of plans.
Before I help you, you two
are gonna help me with something.
Wait a minute.
That was not part of the deal.
The deal is what
I say it is.
Theo: Think of it as
a team-building exercise,
and if my instincts
are correct,
you might even get
to kill some people.
Hey, Max.
Any luck finding
Theo's sister?
No. According to
the social services database,
a dozen foster kids went
through the Jackson house
in the months leading
up to the murders,
but none were
named Sophia,
and none matched
the description
Oleg gave of the girl.
Theo must have
scrubbed her
from the system.
Let's get some agents
over to Philly social services
and have them dig
through the hard copy files
because there's
a chance he only targeted
the digital records,
and if that's true,
maybe we can find her.
Unh!
[Muffled gunshot, grunt]
Unh!
Psst!
[Muffled gunshots]
Where's Eliza?
She couldn't make it.
I'm disappointed.
Won't last long.
I'm sorry. Your friends
aren't coming,
but mine are.
Where do I find Eliza?
Forget it.
I'm not helping you.
I'm positive you're supposed
to call her after I'm dead,
which means her number's
in your phone.
It's highly encrypted.
There's no way you'll
be able to hack it.
Yeah. Let me
worry about that.
Have you traced
the phone to our friend yet?
In process.
So to find your guy,
I need to log on to the web portal.
And here we go.
I was right.
It was accessed
by a second computer.
Stationary.
Probably a desktop.
There's an apartment
in Sunnyside, Queens,
rented by...
Tom Reyes.
36, former army ranger,
now on the FBI's
Hostage Rescue Team.
He's Max's boyfriend.
She cheated on him
with Mike Weston.
No wonder he's
watching her.
Great.
Here are my terms.
You want Tom
to serve up Mike
so Mark can
torture-kill him,
but first, you got to
do something for me.
[As Luke]
We just did something for you.
Tough. My house,
my rules.
Wrong. You just gave
us the name.
Come on.
We're out of here.
You won't even make it
to the door.
OK. Mark, Mark, Mark.
OK. Please.
We are so close.
One more step
is not gonna hurt
anyone.
Fine,
but this is it.
Give this to Tom.
Make sure he plugs it
into the FBI server.
When I get my access back,
then you can get all
the revenge you want.
After we kill Mike,
I'm gonna come back
and kill him.
Found Sophia.
You were right.
Theo only altered
the digital files.
That's Sophia age 8.
After the murders,
she bounced around
to a dozen other
foster homes.
Then on her 16th birthday,
she died.
At least, that's what
her death certificate says.
10 bucks Theo planted
that to give her a new life.
Let's run the prints
in this file
against any
recent crime scenes.
Already on it,
waiting for results.
Get Cyber to
computer-age this photo
and send it to me.
Mike: Hey. Either
of you guys seen Sloan?
No.
She's not answering
her phone or texts.
What?
We put her
on the mole search.
She was looking
into incident reports
of the raid
at Mark's brownstone.
She said
she had questions.
Maybe she was
on to something.
[Computer chimes]
Got a hit
on Sophia's prints.
Drug dealer murdered
in Newark two days ago.
Local PD pulled prints
that match Sophia's.
You guys stay on Sloan,
have NYPD issue a bolo.
Retrace her investigation,
check her computer.
I'm going to Jersey.
Take Max with you.
I got it
covered here.
- Ryan...
- No, no. I... I
can handle this solo.
Tough. I'm coming
with you.
What, are you
tag-teaming me?
- Yeah.
- Deal with it.
All right.
Let's go.
According
to police reports,
our victim Josh was stabbed
to death in the back bedroom.
Any mention of a woman
matching Sophia's description?
No. Then again,
a house full of junkies
doesn't make for the most
forthcoming witnesses.
Think our girl's
an addict?
She's not here
for the ambience.
Oh, boy.
[Max inhales]
Ugh.
Well,
let's roust them,
see if anybody knows
anything
about the murder.
Hey.
Hey.
- Ryan: Hey, buddy.
- Max: Come on. Hop up.
Max: Got some questions
for you, yeah?
Wake up.
Hey. Come on. Get up.
Hey. Get up.
[Grunting]
You OK?
Sloppy. Took
my eyes off him.
[Groaning]
This is Max Hardy.
I'm agent
with the FBI's
New York field office.
I need a police unit
sent to this location
to transfer a suspect
to your holding facility.
Man: I think you
broke my arm, man.
Good! Get up.
Now this is what's
gonna happen.
You are gonna answer
some questions,
or you're going through
another window, you understand?
Relax, relax, man.
I didn't know you were the police.
I thought you were
trying to rob me.
There was a murder here,
all right,
a few days ago,
a guy named Josh.
I didn't have anything
to do with that.
Know who did?
No, man.
You recognize
this woman?
Naw.
Pick a window!
OK. Wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait.
I... I... I don't...
I don't know her,
but she looks like this girl
Josh used to hook up with.
What's her name?
Penny.
Penny what?
Just Penny, man.
You know where we
can find her?
She gave me a taste
of her score last week.
She got it
from this dude Sal.
He... he deals out
of a storefront over on Benson.
That's all I know,
man.
Seriously, I swear.
- Hey, man.
- Hey.
You seen Sloan?
No. Why?
She did talk to you,
though, right?
Yeah, yeah, about the raid
on Mark's safe house.
Is there a problem?
No. No. Just having
a hard time getting ahold of her.
Did she mention
going anywhere last night,
meeting
with someone?
No, no, not that
I can recall.
OK. Thanks.
Mark: Smile!
Daisy: Don't do it!
Hands up.
Hands up.
Out of the bathroom.
So we came over here
to Jack you up
over spying on Max,
so imagine our surprise...
Joy really.
When we find a dead girl
in your bathtub.
Now let me guess.
She found out about you
spying on your girlfriend,
and you had to kill her.
Daisy: Word of advice,
sweetie.
Next time you
kill somebody,
don't leave the body
lying around your house.
What do you want?
Stick this into
a server at the FBI.
Shouldn't take more
than two minutes.
Then we'll be out
of your hair.
I'm not a traitor.
You've got a dead girl
in your bathtub.
You're whatever
we say you are.
We'll be in touch.
Oh, and you might
want to think
about getting rid
of that body.
It's starting to smell.
Think Penny will show?
Well, if she's hanging
around crack houses,
she's more than just
a recreational user.
You been drinking?
- No.
- Really?
That's not why you were
a step slow back at the house?
I threw a guy
out a window.
You call that slow?
I don't call that slow.
Any word from Mike
on Sloan?
No. FBI has her
leaving the office at 8:00 last night.
Mike went
by her apartment.
It was empty.
It doesn't look good,
does it?
No.
[Door opens]
[Keypad beeps]
I'm back in.
I'm back in.
All right. Now all I need to do
is trace the phone number
I pulled from the guy
in the park.
I found Eliza.
Nice.
You want company?
You start packing.
We're out of here
once I talk to her.
This identity
is over.
You got it.
Penny, I'm serious.
Yeah. Don't worry, T.
I'll be a good girl.
All right.
I'm gonna stretch
my legs.
- I'll go with you.
- No. Stay here.
Keep an eye out
for Penny.
[Cell phone rings]
Hey. I'm so glad
you called.
I hope I'm not
making a mistake.
No, you're not.
If you lie to me,
I will hang up.
I won't,
I promise you.
Are you still
drinking?
Yeah,
but I'm gonna stop.
You know, when we
first met,
you were in such
a good place.
I thought that was
the real you,
but...
This is
the real you, Ryan.
Gwen.
You're obsessed,
tormented,
unable to let go.
I can change.
I did change
for a while.
Then do it.
Stop drinking,
quit the FBI.
No. I ca...
I can't do that,
not with Theo
still out there.
After Theo, there will
be someone else.
You're really not giving
me much hope, Ryan.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I got to call you back.
Are you serious?
I'm on a stakeout.
I'll call you
as soon as I can.
Anything?
No sign of her.
[Ringing]
It's Mike.
Hey. Did you
find Sloan?
She's dead.
Someone shot her and put her
in the trunk of her car.
They say she died
last night.
OK. Well,
we're gonna head right back.
OK.
Sloan's dead.
We got two cruisers
doing a sweep of the neighborhood.
Any sign of your girl?
No. Hey. Listen.
We just found an agent
of ours was killed.
Do you mind running Agent Hardy
to the scene, please?
No problem.
What about you?
Penny's close.
Can't leave right now.
I'm gonna stay
with you.
No. Max, I'm fine.
The priority needs to
be finding Sloan's killer.
I'm gonna work the search
with Newark PD,
and then I'll be back,
I promise.
OK.
Just call me if you
find something.
[Siren]
They're
all gone now.
Just you and me.
Let's talk
about your brother.
You like it rough, huh?
Ha ha ha! Good.
Me, too.
[Groans]
I'm starting to sense
you're the strong, silent type.
Me, I'm more
of a screamer.
Knock yourself out.
No one can hear you
in here anyway.
[Elevator dings]
Here to see Eliza.
Eliza: Let him in.
Cinco minutos.
Gracias.
Theo.
Have I jumped
through enough hoops,
or do I need to slit
your throat in order
to stick
the landing?
A little bravado's sexy,
but don't get ahead of yourself.
Enough
with the games.
Are you accepting
my offer
to take out
Ryan Hardy?
You have yet to tell me
what you want in return.
My sister and I
want to disappear
beyond the reach
of the FBI, CIA, and Interpol.
More importantly,
we want a life
where no one
is hunting us.
You believe
we can do that?
Strauss hinted at your
reach and influence,
your power to make
certain authorities turn a blind eye.
Was he wrong?
Was he wrong?
We're prepared to
meet your ask,
but there is
one caveat.
No one is to know
of our involvement or existence.
If that were
to happen...
I understand.
Well, then,
I'll be in touch.
[Cell phone rings]
Yes.
Run the numbers for me.
[Cell phone chimes]
[Ringing]
Penny on voicemail:
Hey. It's Penny.
Do your thing.
Penny, call me
as soon as you get this.
The FBI is on to you.
Ryan: Where's Theo?
Theo?
No. Not ringing
any bells.
Every time you
lie to me,
you get a strike.
That's one.
Hmm. What happens
when we get to 3?
Theo Noble, formerly
Terrance Jackson.
The two of you
helped kill his family
when you were
children.
You must have found
the Madman.
- How is Ollie?
- Incarcerated.
So he gets jail,
and I get what... house arrest?
Oh, no, no, no, no.
You're not under arrest.
See, if you were
under arrest,
you would have rights
and protections.
You're in my custody.
- Sounds scary.
- You have no idea.
Theo.
Where is he?
Oh, come on.
You know how brothers are.
They don't call,
they don't write.
Strike two.
You know exactly where he is.
You're the only
thing he cares about.
You're his
one constant.
What do you do
for him, huh?
It's not
a big mystery.
He owes me.
After he had his
bitch of a mother killed,
he promised things
would get better.
He was wrong.
One foster home
to the next,
each one worse
than the last.
We had each
other's backs,
and that's
all we had.
How about you?
Your turn to share.
Your niece Max,
she's a cutie.
It's so great working
with family, right?
You leave her out
of this.
- Or what?
- It gets messy real fast, Penny.
Ryan, I got to tell you,
your strikes
don't intimidate me.
Ha ha!
Come on.
When you grow up
in the foster homes I grew up in,
we got the real kind,
the kind that scar.
What, you want me to
feel sorry for you?
No. I want you
to feel...
inspired.
A little
liquid courage.
Good man.
So you're bending
the rules a little bit.
So what?
[Cell phone ringing]
Hey, Max.
I'm driving back.
You find Penny?
No. Not yet.
We got local PD
going door to door.
Any... any leads
on Sloan's killer?
No. We're gonna retrace
her last steps,
see where it leads.
All right.
Keep me posted.
She's checking up
on you,
treating you like
a child.
They all are...
Mike, Gwen.
They care.
They're
stifling you...
Joe's voice:
judging you.
You don't need any
of them.
[Cell phone ringing]
Look. I did what you asked.
We're done.
Mark:
Just one more favor.
No. I can't.
Aw, come on.
No need for that kind of negativity.
It's simple.
You could still put
this all behind you.
What do you want?
Bring me
Mike Weston.
Hey.
You get something
on Sloan's GPS?
Thousands of random
coordinates
with no date,
no time stamps.
How are things
going here?
Nothing suspicious
so far.
There is
a lead here.
We just need
to find it.
I just...
I can't stop seeing
her in that trunk.
Someone we know
did that to her.
Why don't I take over
the incident reports?
Go home. Get some rest.
I could use
a shower.
I'm gonna slog
through our in-house
surveillance videos
at home.
It's like... I mean,
whoever had the laptop
knew we were on to them,
so they killed the signal
right before we found them.
Maybe there's something
on the video.
Had Sloan gotten
into that?
Yeah. Maybe she
saw something.
Hey, Max.
It's gonna be OK.
You sure?
Where are you, Penny?
Where are you?
[Grunting]
I missed you.
This is not a joke.
An FBI agent is dead.
That is so sad.
Do you have anything
to eat?
I am so hungry
actually... Ohh!
Who does Theo have
working for him
at the FBI?!
Hmm. Someone's had
a few drinky-poos.
Ha ha ha!
Fell off the wagon,
huh?
Bummer.
Strike 3!
Unh! Ha ha ha!
So I read your
social services file, Penny.
Says you nearly drowned
when you were 7 years old.
You've been terrified
of water ever since, huh?
Wow! Do you know
what it feels like to be waterboarded?
They say it's kind
of like drowning
from the inside.
When Theo finds out...
When Theo finds out,
what?
What is Theo
going to do?
He's gonna come
after me?
He's alone.
He can't get to me.
He's not alone.
Oh, no?
Who's he got
working for him?
Huh? Tell me, Penny.
Who's he got working
for him?
So your nose and your mouth
fill up with water,
your lungs start
to spasm.
Has he recruited
Strauss' students?
Who? Mark? Mark?!
[Muffled scream]
Daisy?!
[Gasping, coughing]
Now you see how
easy that was?
You're really getting off
on this, aren't you?
Not yet.
- Hey, Mike.
- Yeah?
I just talked
to an HRT guy.
He told me that
after Sloan interviewed him,
she was headed out
to meet someone
at a bar
in Greenpoint.
- Who?
- Didn't get a name.
Some off-duty guy.
I'm gonna go check it out.
- Want to come?
- Yeah.
[Ringing]
[Cell phone ringing]
I thought you said
we were going to a bar.
Give me the phone.
I should have known.
I didn't have much
of a choice here.
Put these on.
Put them on!
You killed Sloan?
I didn't mean
to kill her.
It was an accident.
It was an accident!
And Max?
You used Max?
You are a worthless
piece of...
You executed
Lily Gray
and covered it up.
You slept with Max
behind my back!
You... you did this
to yourself.
Who's in there?
Mark?
You don't have to
do this.
We can turn this
around on him,
you and me right now.
Come on, Tom.
No. No, Mike.
Let's go.
Let's go!
[As Luke]
Long time, no see, Mike.
That's because you've
been hiding from me
like a scared,
little bitch.
Ha ha ha!
Well, there's no need
for name calling.
Can't we be civil?
Sure. Just take these off,
we can hug it out.
Ha ha ha!
Yeah. Nice try.
Tom: He's here.
I'm done.
Yeah, of course.
A deal's a deal, right?
A man's word is
his bond.
[Screaming]
Err!
[Grunting]
[Coughing]
[As Mark]
Now you're gonna get
what you deserve.
OK. Do it.
You know what?
On second thought,
I'm gonna cut out
your heart
because that's what
you took from me
when you killed
my mother!
Theo: Let him go.
Drop it.
No.
Drop it now!
We had a deal!
Mike's mine!
Drop it, Mark.
He's mine now.
Oh, Penny, Penny,
Penny, Penny, Penny.
I'm gonna ask you
one more time.
Where is he?
[Spits]
Unh!
Ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha!
Mmm. Theo is
so wrong about you.
Oh, yeah? How so?
You're nowhere
near his level.
He's been
overestimating you.
Joe: Oh, she is practically
begging for it.
Where are they?!
Where is Theo?
I don't care
what you do.
She's lying
to you, Ryan.
There's nothing
you can do
that would make me
tell you.
She will if you
make her, Ryan.
Go on, Ryan.
Joe's voice: Go ahead.
Make her.
Go on, Ryan.
Just tell me
where Theo is.
Just tell me,
just tell me,
just tell me
where they are!
Do it.
Aah! Ohh!
No!
[Sobbing]
[Cell phone blaring]
_
Who is this?
Theo: I know you
have my sister.
She just dropped by
for dinner.
If you hurt her...
Why would I do that?
How about we get together,
just the 3 of us?
Yeah. That sounds
like fun.
Ryan.
Mike?
Mike? Mike!
But you better make
that reservation for 4.
What happened?
Where were you
last night?
I screwed up.
How could you do
this to us?
You got to give
me a chance.
- I'm done.
- No, no. Wait.
Joe: You still have me.
Josh: What the hell
are you doing with her?
I asked you
a question!
Unh! Ugh!
Theo: You're my
little sister, Penny.
I've been protecting you
since I was 10 years old,
and I'm not gonna
stop now.
You just need to stop
partying so much.
We're just going
to see Eliza.
Theo: I assume you
are familiar
with Ryan Hardy.
I can deliver
him to you.
What is that worth?
Someone has
my laptop.
They're using it
to watch Max.
Max: If someone is using the laptop,
we can find them.
The signal just
disappeared!
Everything OK?
It's the safe house
raid.
Some of the details
just aren't adding up.
No! No, no. You don't
understand. No, no.
[Gunshot]
Silas: I did manage
to track where
the laptop's been used.
It's inside the FBI.
OK. We just need to find
someone who can hack into the FBI.
Do you know anyone
that does that?
Because I sure
as hell don't.
Actually I do.
Who is it?
Someone
very unexpected.
Weapon.
Please.
Don't kill me.
I let you live because
you promised to disappear,
and yet,
here you are.
I need your help.
No. The contact site
I gave you was to
alert me of
an imminent threat.
I know,
but an opportunity
came up.
What kind
of opportunity?
A way to get
Ryan Hardy.
Hi there.
What makes you think
I need a way to get at Ryan?
If he was easy to kill,
he'd be dead by now.
[Door opens]
Look who I found.
Can I keep him?
He's kind of hunky.
Forget it.
You remember what happened
to your last pet.
We were just being
careful, OK?
We didn't know how
you'd react to being contacted.
I got to say
this is a pairing
I didn't expect.
Seriously, if you were
any kind of a man,
you would have killed her
for the way that she played you.
Theo: Easy.
Easy.
[As Luke]
Ha ha ha!
I thought you said
he was scary
because I'm
not impressed.
Mark, please.
OK. We all want
the same thing.
We can help
each other.
Not interested.
There's a corrupt agent
inside the FBI.
Interested now?
The Following S03E12
"The Edge"
Page me when she gets
back from X-ray.
I want to run
some more tests.
OK.
Give me a minute, Sandy.
Sure.
What are you
doing here?
I've failed you.
I know that,
but there's got to be
a way that I can fix us.
Ryan, you can't even
fix yourself.
It's clear you've
been lying to me
since the beginning.
How can I ever
trust you again?
I can get
on top of this.
I've... I've... I've
done it before.
You just got to give me
another chance.
I can't.
I love you.
It's not enough.
Oh, wait.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
After everything
we've been through,
this can't be it.
Can we talk later,
please?
I'm... barely hanging
on here, Doc.
I don't know. I...
Maybe.
Good, good.
Thank you.
[Knock on door]
- Hey.
- Hey.
What are you
doing here?
Oh, I wanted to see you,
so I brought
some coffee to sweeten
the deal.
Thanks.
Hey.
Um, I'm almost ready.
Do you want to just hang,
and we can go in together?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'll wait.
- OK.
- OK.
[Hair dryer blowing]
What are you doing?
I'm just looking
for a new book.
You mind if I
borrow this one?
Sure.
You ready to go?
Yeah, yeah.
Let's go.
How you holding up?
I'm good.
I'm not your
girlfriend
or your niece, Ryan.
You don't have to
pretend with me.
You let Joe screw with your head,
but that is over now.
He is dead.
You need to pull it together.
People are counting
on you...
Spare me the tough love,
all right?
Well, it wouldn't
be tough love if I did.
Look. You want to
throw away everything
you've built in the past year,
that's your call,
but Theo is gunning for you,
and that puts
everybody around you
in danger.
You really think you'd
be able to live with yourself
if Max or Gwen got killed
because you were half in the bag?
I'll see you
out there.
You have
a nice place.
Don't get
comfortable.
You won't be
here long.
Penny: Don't be an ass, T.
Does anyone
want something?
No, thank you.
[As Mark]
I'll take a water, please.
Penny: Sure thing.
So our friend traced
the laptop signal back
to the FBI in New York,
but he didn't have
the skill to get past the firewall.
It wouldn't matter
if he did.
Once the feds found
my hack,
they brought down
the iron curtain.
I haven't found a way
to pierce it.
Wait. I thought you were
a genius hacker.
I am, and you're only
alive because your spy
might just be what
I need to hack back in.
I'm confused.
You just said you couldn't
hack the FBI,
so how are you gonna find this guy?
Did your friend check
to see if the laptop
was the only computer
accessing the web portal?
- No.
- If he's smart,
he wouldn't bring it
back to his house.
That would be
too easy to trace.
We just have to
hope that he's dumb enough
to log on from
a second computer.
[Cell phone chimes]
Excuse me a minute.
Eliza wants to meet.
You think
it's legit?
I think we always
plan for the worst.
This was a mistake.
Just hold it
together.
We just need
that name,
and then we're
out of here.
Theo:
Change of plans.
Before I help you, you two
are gonna help me with something.
Wait a minute.
That was not part of the deal.
The deal is what
I say it is.
Theo: Think of it as
a team-building exercise,
and if my instincts
are correct,
you might even get
to kill some people.
Hey, Max.
Any luck finding
Theo's sister?
No. According to
the social services database,
a dozen foster kids went
through the Jackson house
in the months leading
up to the murders,
but none were
named Sophia,
and none matched
the description
Oleg gave of the girl.
Theo must have
scrubbed her
from the system.
Let's get some agents
over to Philly social services
and have them dig
through the hard copy files
because there's
a chance he only targeted
the digital records,
and if that's true,
maybe we can find her.
Unh!
[Muffled gunshot, grunt]
Unh!
Psst!
[Muffled gunshots]
Where's Eliza?
She couldn't make it.
I'm disappointed.
Won't last long.
I'm sorry. Your friends
aren't coming,
but mine are.
Where do I find Eliza?
Forget it.
I'm not helping you.
I'm positive you're supposed
to call her after I'm dead,
which means her number's
in your phone.
It's highly encrypted.
There's no way you'll
be able to hack it.
Yeah. Let me
worry about that.
Have you traced
the phone to our friend yet?
In process.
So to find your guy,
I need to log on to the web portal.
And here we go.
I was right.
It was accessed
by a second computer.
Stationary.
Probably a desktop.
There's an apartment
in Sunnyside, Queens,
rented by...
Tom Reyes.
36, former army ranger,
now on the FBI's
Hostage Rescue Team.
He's Max's boyfriend.
She cheated on him
with Mike Weston.
No wonder he's
watching her.
Great.
Here are my terms.
You want Tom
to serve up Mike
so Mark can
torture-kill him,
but first, you got to
do something for me.
[As Luke]
We just did something for you.
Tough. My house,
my rules.
Wrong. You just gave
us the name.
Come on.
We're out of here.
You won't even make it
to the door.
OK. Mark, Mark, Mark.
OK. Please.
We are so close.
One more step
is not gonna hurt
anyone.
Fine,
but this is it.
Give this to Tom.
Make sure he plugs it
into the FBI server.
When I get my access back,
then you can get all
the revenge you want.
After we kill Mike,
I'm gonna come back
and kill him.
Found Sophia.
You were right.
Theo only altered
the digital files.
That's Sophia age 8.
After the murders,
she bounced around
to a dozen other
foster homes.
Then on her 16th birthday,
she died.
At least, that's what
her death certificate says.
10 bucks Theo planted
that to give her a new life.
Let's run the prints
in this file
against any
recent crime scenes.
Already on it,
waiting for results.
Get Cyber to
computer-age this photo
and send it to me.
Mike: Hey. Either
of you guys seen Sloan?
No.
She's not answering
her phone or texts.
What?
We put her
on the mole search.
She was looking
into incident reports
of the raid
at Mark's brownstone.
She said
she had questions.
Maybe she was
on to something.
[Computer chimes]
Got a hit
on Sophia's prints.
Drug dealer murdered
in Newark two days ago.
Local PD pulled prints
that match Sophia's.
You guys stay on Sloan,
have NYPD issue a bolo.
Retrace her investigation,
check her computer.
I'm going to Jersey.
Take Max with you.
I got it
covered here.
- Ryan...
- No, no. I... I
can handle this solo.
Tough. I'm coming
with you.
What, are you
tag-teaming me?
- Yeah.
- Deal with it.
All right.
Let's go.
According
to police reports,
our victim Josh was stabbed
to death in the back bedroom.
Any mention of a woman
matching Sophia's description?
No. Then again,
a house full of junkies
doesn't make for the most
forthcoming witnesses.
Think our girl's
an addict?
She's not here
for the ambience.
Oh, boy.
[Max inhales]
Ugh.
Well,
let's roust them,
see if anybody knows
anything
about the murder.
Hey.
Hey.
- Ryan: Hey, buddy.
- Max: Come on. Hop up.
Max: Got some questions
for you, yeah?
Wake up.
Hey. Come on. Get up.
Hey. Get up.
[Grunting]
You OK?
Sloppy. Took
my eyes off him.
[Groaning]
This is Max Hardy.
I'm agent
with the FBI's
New York field office.
I need a police unit
sent to this location
to transfer a suspect
to your holding facility.
Man: I think you
broke my arm, man.
Good! Get up.
Now this is what's
gonna happen.
You are gonna answer
some questions,
or you're going through
another window, you understand?
Relax, relax, man.
I didn't know you were the police.
I thought you were
trying to rob me.
There was a murder here,
all right,
a few days ago,
a guy named Josh.
I didn't have anything
to do with that.
Know who did?
No, man.
You recognize
this woman?
Naw.
Pick a window!
OK. Wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait.
I... I... I don't...
I don't know her,
but she looks like this girl
Josh used to hook up with.
What's her name?
Penny.
Penny what?
Just Penny, man.
You know where we
can find her?
She gave me a taste
of her score last week.
She got it
from this dude Sal.
He... he deals out
of a storefront over on Benson.
That's all I know,
man.
Seriously, I swear.
- Hey, man.
- Hey.
You seen Sloan?
No. Why?
She did talk to you,
though, right?
Yeah, yeah, about the raid
on Mark's safe house.
Is there a problem?
No. No. Just having
a hard time getting ahold of her.
Did she mention
going anywhere last night,
meeting
with someone?
No, no, not that
I can recall.
OK. Thanks.
Mark: Smile!
Daisy: Don't do it!
Hands up.
Hands up.
Out of the bathroom.
So we came over here
to Jack you up
over spying on Max,
so imagine our surprise...
Joy really.
When we find a dead girl
in your bathtub.
Now let me guess.
She found out about you
spying on your girlfriend,
and you had to kill her.
Daisy: Word of advice,
sweetie.
Next time you
kill somebody,
don't leave the body
lying around your house.
What do you want?
Stick this into
a server at the FBI.
Shouldn't take more
than two minutes.
Then we'll be out
of your hair.
I'm not a traitor.
You've got a dead girl
in your bathtub.
You're whatever
we say you are.
We'll be in touch.
Oh, and you might
want to think
about getting rid
of that body.
It's starting to smell.
Think Penny will show?
Well, if she's hanging
around crack houses,
she's more than just
a recreational user.
You been drinking?
- No.
- Really?
That's not why you were
a step slow back at the house?
I threw a guy
out a window.
You call that slow?
I don't call that slow.
Any word from Mike
on Sloan?
No. FBI has her
leaving the office at 8:00 last night.
Mike went
by her apartment.
It was empty.
It doesn't look good,
does it?
No.
[Door opens]
[Keypad beeps]
I'm back in.
I'm back in.
All right. Now all I need to do
is trace the phone number
I pulled from the guy
in the park.
I found Eliza.
Nice.
You want company?
You start packing.
We're out of here
once I talk to her.
This identity
is over.
You got it.
Penny, I'm serious.
Yeah. Don't worry, T.
I'll be a good girl.
All right.
I'm gonna stretch
my legs.
- I'll go with you.
- No. Stay here.
Keep an eye out
for Penny.
[Cell phone rings]
Hey. I'm so glad
you called.
I hope I'm not
making a mistake.
No, you're not.
If you lie to me,
I will hang up.
I won't,
I promise you.
Are you still
drinking?
Yeah,
but I'm gonna stop.
You know, when we
first met,
you were in such
a good place.
I thought that was
the real you,
but...
This is
the real you, Ryan.
Gwen.
You're obsessed,
tormented,
unable to let go.
I can change.
I did change
for a while.
Then do it.
Stop drinking,
quit the FBI.
No. I ca...
I can't do that,
not with Theo
still out there.
After Theo, there will
be someone else.
You're really not giving
me much hope, Ryan.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I got to call you back.
Are you serious?
I'm on a stakeout.
I'll call you
as soon as I can.
Anything?
No sign of her.
[Ringing]
It's Mike.
Hey. Did you
find Sloan?
She's dead.
Someone shot her and put her
in the trunk of her car.
They say she died
last night.
OK. Well,
we're gonna head right back.
OK.
Sloan's dead.
We got two cruisers
doing a sweep of the neighborhood.
Any sign of your girl?
No. Hey. Listen.
We just found an agent
of ours was killed.
Do you mind running Agent Hardy
to the scene, please?
No problem.
What about you?
Penny's close.
Can't leave right now.
I'm gonna stay
with you.
No. Max, I'm fine.
The priority needs to
be finding Sloan's killer.
I'm gonna work the search
with Newark PD,
and then I'll be back,
I promise.
OK.
Just call me if you
find something.
[Siren]
They're
all gone now.
Just you and me.
Let's talk
about your brother.
You like it rough, huh?
Ha ha ha! Good.
Me, too.
[Groans]
I'm starting to sense
you're the strong, silent type.
Me, I'm more
of a screamer.
Knock yourself out.
No one can hear you
in here anyway.
[Elevator dings]
Here to see Eliza.
Eliza: Let him in.
Cinco minutos.
Gracias.
Theo.
Have I jumped
through enough hoops,
or do I need to slit
your throat in order
to stick
the landing?
A little bravado's sexy,
but don't get ahead of yourself.
Enough
with the games.
Are you accepting
my offer
to take out
Ryan Hardy?
You have yet to tell me
what you want in return.
My sister and I
want to disappear
beyond the reach
of the FBI, CIA, and Interpol.
More importantly,
we want a life
where no one
is hunting us.
You believe
we can do that?
Strauss hinted at your
reach and influence,
your power to make
certain authorities turn a blind eye.
Was he wrong?
Was he wrong?
We're prepared to
meet your ask,
but there is
one caveat.
No one is to know
of our involvement or existence.
If that were
to happen...
I understand.
Well, then,
I'll be in touch.
[Cell phone rings]
Yes.
Run the numbers for me.
[Cell phone chimes]
[Ringing]
Penny on voicemail:
Hey. It's Penny.
Do your thing.
Penny, call me
as soon as you get this.
The FBI is on to you.
Ryan: Where's Theo?
Theo?
No. Not ringing
any bells.
Every time you
lie to me,
you get a strike.
That's one.
Hmm. What happens
when we get to 3?
Theo Noble, formerly
Terrance Jackson.
The two of you
helped kill his family
when you were
children.
You must have found
the Madman.
- How is Ollie?
- Incarcerated.
So he gets jail,
and I get what... house arrest?
Oh, no, no, no, no.
You're not under arrest.
See, if you were
under arrest,
you would have rights
and protections.
You're in my custody.
- Sounds scary.
- You have no idea.
Theo.
Where is he?
Oh, come on.
You know how brothers are.
They don't call,
they don't write.
Strike two.
You know exactly where he is.
You're the only
thing he cares about.
You're his
one constant.
What do you do
for him, huh?
It's not
a big mystery.
He owes me.
After he had his
bitch of a mother killed,
he promised things
would get better.
He was wrong.
One foster home
to the next,
each one worse
than the last.
We had each
other's backs,
and that's
all we had.
How about you?
Your turn to share.
Your niece Max,
she's a cutie.
It's so great working
with family, right?
You leave her out
of this.
- Or what?
- It gets messy real fast, Penny.
Ryan, I got to tell you,
your strikes
don't intimidate me.
Ha ha!
Come on.
When you grow up
in the foster homes I grew up in,
we got the real kind,
the kind that scar.
What, you want me to
feel sorry for you?
No. I want you
to feel...
inspired.
A little
liquid courage.
Good man.
So you're bending
the rules a little bit.
So what?
[Cell phone ringing]
Hey, Max.
I'm driving back.
You find Penny?
No. Not yet.
We got local PD
going door to door.
Any... any leads
on Sloan's killer?
No. We're gonna retrace
her last steps,
see where it leads.
All right.
Keep me posted.
She's checking up
on you,
treating you like
a child.
They all are...
Mike, Gwen.
They care.
They're
stifling you...
Joe's voice:
judging you.
You don't need any
of them.
[Cell phone ringing]
Look. I did what you asked.
We're done.
Mark:
Just one more favor.
No. I can't.
Aw, come on.
No need for that kind of negativity.
It's simple.
You could still put
this all behind you.
What do you want?
Bring me
Mike Weston.
Hey.
You get something
on Sloan's GPS?
Thousands of random
coordinates
with no date,
no time stamps.
How are things
going here?
Nothing suspicious
so far.
There is
a lead here.
We just need
to find it.
I just...
I can't stop seeing
her in that trunk.
Someone we know
did that to her.
Why don't I take over
the incident reports?
Go home. Get some rest.
I could use
a shower.
I'm gonna slog
through our in-house
surveillance videos
at home.
It's like... I mean,
whoever had the laptop
knew we were on to them,
so they killed the signal
right before we found them.
Maybe there's something
on the video.
Had Sloan gotten
into that?
Yeah. Maybe she
saw something.
Hey, Max.
It's gonna be OK.
You sure?
Where are you, Penny?
Where are you?
[Grunting]
I missed you.
This is not a joke.
An FBI agent is dead.
That is so sad.
Do you have anything
to eat?
I am so hungry
actually... Ohh!
Who does Theo have
working for him
at the FBI?!
Hmm. Someone's had
a few drinky-poos.
Ha ha ha!
Fell off the wagon,
huh?
Bummer.
Strike 3!
Unh! Ha ha ha!
So I read your
social services file, Penny.
Says you nearly drowned
when you were 7 years old.
You've been terrified
of water ever since, huh?
Wow! Do you know
what it feels like to be waterboarded?
They say it's kind
of like drowning
from the inside.
When Theo finds out...
When Theo finds out,
what?
What is Theo
going to do?
He's gonna come
after me?
He's alone.
He can't get to me.
He's not alone.
Oh, no?
Who's he got
working for him?
Huh? Tell me, Penny.
Who's he got working
for him?
So your nose and your mouth
fill up with water,
your lungs start
to spasm.
Has he recruited
Strauss' students?
Who? Mark? Mark?!
[Muffled scream]
Daisy?!
[Gasping, coughing]
Now you see how
easy that was?
You're really getting off
on this, aren't you?
Not yet.
- Hey, Mike.
- Yeah?
I just talked
to an HRT guy.
He told me that
after Sloan interviewed him,
she was headed out
to meet someone
at a bar
in Greenpoint.
- Who?
- Didn't get a name.
Some off-duty guy.
I'm gonna go check it out.
- Want to come?
- Yeah.
[Ringing]
[Cell phone ringing]
I thought you said
we were going to a bar.
Give me the phone.
I should have known.
I didn't have much
of a choice here.
Put these on.
Put them on!
You killed Sloan?
I didn't mean
to kill her.
It was an accident.
It was an accident!
And Max?
You used Max?
You are a worthless
piece of...
You executed
Lily Gray
and covered it up.
You slept with Max
behind my back!
You... you did this
to yourself.
Who's in there?
Mark?
You don't have to
do this.
We can turn this
around on him,
you and me right now.
Come on, Tom.
No. No, Mike.
Let's go.
Let's go!
[As Luke]
Long time, no see, Mike.
That's because you've
been hiding from me
like a scared,
little bitch.
Ha ha ha!
Well, there's no need
for name calling.
Can't we be civil?
Sure. Just take these off,
we can hug it out.
Ha ha ha!
Yeah. Nice try.
Tom: He's here.
I'm done.
Yeah, of course.
A deal's a deal, right?
A man's word is
his bond.
[Screaming]
Err!
[Grunting]
[Coughing]
[As Mark]
Now you're gonna get
what you deserve.
OK. Do it.
You know what?
On second thought,
I'm gonna cut out
your heart
because that's what
you took from me
when you killed
my mother!
Theo: Let him go.
Drop it.
No.
Drop it now!
We had a deal!
Mike's mine!
Drop it, Mark.
He's mine now.
Oh, Penny, Penny,
Penny, Penny, Penny.
I'm gonna ask you
one more time.
Where is he?
[Spits]
Unh!
Ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha!
Mmm. Theo is
so wrong about you.
Oh, yeah? How so?
You're nowhere
near his level.
He's been
overestimating you.
Joe: Oh, she is practically
begging for it.
Where are they?!
Where is Theo?
I don't care
what you do.
She's lying
to you, Ryan.
There's nothing
you can do
that would make me
tell you.
She will if you
make her, Ryan.
Go on, Ryan.
Joe's voice: Go ahead.
Make her.
Go on, Ryan.
Just tell me
where Theo is.
Just tell me,
just tell me,
just tell me
where they are!
Do it.
Aah! Ohh!
No!
[Sobbing]
[Cell phone blaring]
_
Who is this?

Ryan.
Mike?
Mike? Mike!
But you better make
