Kathleen just came out of surgery.
She'll be back home tomorrow morning.
Did you talk to Lizzie's family?
Yeah. I talked to her ex-husband.
He's gonna pick up her belongings.
[hospital staff speaking
indistinctly over PA]
[whispering] Yeah.
It's not your fault.
It's not.
[whispering] Yeah.
- Good evening, everybody.
- [Tom] Yeah.
- How you doing, Tommy?
- Hi, Dale.
It's nice to meet everyone. I'm
Special Agent in Charge Dale Carroll.
This is Agent Marcus Telfair.
That was a tough one out there.
How's everybody holding up?
We have counselors standing by
if anybody wants to talk.
They'll be available 24/7.
We'll be setting up interviews for
each of you for some time next week.
Interviews for what?
[Marcus Telfair]
Any officer-involved death
automatically triggers an investigation.
[Anthony] Yeah, but I
don't work for the Feds.
- I'm on loan from County P.D.
- [Marcus] Doesn't matter.
Because the incident occurred
while you were under
the employ of the Bureau,
- falls under our jurisdiction.
- So before you sit down with us,
make sure you check in
with your union reps.
We'll reach out to your chiefs
and notify them as well.
As of now, your assignment
with Task is finished.
What do you mean, finished?
Jayson Wilkes and Perry Dorazo
are still out there.
They killed Lizzie.
It's all being handed over
to Safe Streets now.
Samuel Nance is under the supervision
of Child and Youth Services.
Your assignment's over.
We'll be in touch about
setting up those interviews.
For now, there's a car outside
waiting to take you home.
Before you leave, I need your weapons.
[sniffling]
[birdsong]
[Emily] W-What was her name?
[Tom] Lizzie Stover.
She was a State Trooper
- at the Lehigh Barracks.
- [baby whining]
How old?
[Tom] Twenty-nine.
Jesus.
[baby whining]
Please tell me you're going
back to the career fair circuit.
When's Andy get into town?
3 p.m.
Dad, I, uh
Andy and I are separated.
- [Tom] What?
- He asked for a divorce.
- A divorce?
- [Emily clearing throat]
- Why, w-what happened?
- [Sara] No, hold on.
I'm, uh [sighs]
[cigarette pack tapping on table]
I'm gonna need a cigarette
before I get into that.
Did you know about this?
I just found out, um, yesterday.
[Emily clearing throat]
When'd she start smoking again?
She relapsed when you got kidnapped.
- Yeah.
- Shit.
[baby babbling]
[soft, dramatic music playing]
[officer] Go ahead.
[faint chatter]
[rustling]
- What's going on?
- You can go collect your things.
Diaz, follow her.
Why are you boxing stuff up?
Only other time
I've seen anything like this
was a HIDTA case.
Internal Affairs investigated
an officer for falsifying evidence.
That's what's going on here?
You're looking at one of us?
You finished?
[item dropping]
[gentle music playing]
[clearing throat]
[blinds zipping]
- [Dorsey] Come on.
- [gasps]
- Get up.
- [grunting]
Here.
- You alright?
- [groaning]
I had a couple of visitors this morning.
FBI Internal Affairs.
Spent two hours grilling me
inside my office.
About you.
Conducting an investigation into Task.
Yeah. Yeah.
Wanted to know if I ever had
any problem with you.
Yeah, did you tell him I was a good boy?
Oh, you got jokes now, huh?
This isn't Delaware County IAD, Ant.
These are Feds.
Department of Justice.
I can't control
the narrative on this one.
Did they find Jayson?
Oh, don't don't worry about Jayson.
They killed her, Mike.
You know?
Killed who?
Lizzie.
They fucking, they just
And I had I had her in my arms.
And I I knew she was gone.
I could feel it in her body, you know,
just this this emptiness.
It's a horrible feeling
inside of me.
Hey.
Look at me. Look at me.
Forget her.
Forget her.
Okay?
[whispering] Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
[patting back]
You motherfucker. You motherfucker!
You motherfucker. Fuck you!
Fuck you. Fuck you.
[grunting]
[water running]
[shouting]
Fuck!
Hey. [panting]
They wanna meet with you
and your union rep
on Wednesday morning.
How much do they know?
Nothin'.
Just suspicion that someone
was leaking information
back to the Dark Hearts.
You keep your head right
and we walk out of this.
Just like last time. Understand?
- I'll be in touch.
- Alright.
[door opens]
[door closes]
- [Maeve sobbing]
- Very, very sorry for your loss.
[Tom sighs]
- Who killed him?
- Jayson Wilkes.
[sighs deeply] - The FBI's,
um, heading the search now,
and I'm confident that he'll be,
uh, brought into custody very soon.
Maeve, um, we still haven't been
able to find Cliff Broward.
I was wondering
if you could tell me, uh,
what you remember about
the last time you saw him.
Um, it was at our house.
[Tom] Mm-hmm?
He and Robbie were leaving
to go meet someone.
I don't know who it was.
Did he say where he was going?
Wissahickon Park.
Wissahickon Park, not Bailey Park?
No, Wissahickon.
- Huh.
- Why?
Leading up to that,
we were in contact with Cliff,
uh, through a confiscated cellphone
that belonged to a associate
of his named Ray Lyman.
And we arranged a meet-up
at Bailey Park,
not Wissahickon Park.
I don't know, maybe it changed.
That's just what Robbie told me.
Did did Robbie mention a plan to you?
It's just, on our drive out to Bushkill,
he kept talking about a plan.
[sniffles, sighs]
Just that he was going out there
to get the money.
And then, a truck driver
was gonna smuggle him
- and Cliff up to Canada.
- Canada?
[scoffs softly]
Yeah. Some island or something.
[sighs] It didn't make any sense.
But that was Robbie, you know?
Always thinking of some crazy
way he was gonna change his life.
[Maeve sobbing]
Uh, Maeve, we met before.
You remember that?
That night at Boothwyn Shopping Center.
[inhales deeply]
I brought Sam there
when I found out who he was.
I was tryin' to turn him in.
Was it you who phoned in the tip?
Yeah.
I tried to leave him
at the Val-U-Corner.
[sniffling]
But when I got back to the car,
he'd snuck in.
Why didn't you
tell me the truth that night
when when you had a chance?
I got scared.
I thought that if I got arrested,
they'd take Harper and Wyatt.
And they'd be on their own.
- Yeah.
- [inhales sharply]
It was stupid, I know.
I was just really fuckin' scared.
[sobbing]
- [Anne Pressman] Hey, Tom.
- Hey, Anne.
[sighs] What are you thinkin'?
Unlawful restraint.
Reckless endangerment.
I think we have a decent shot
at conspiracy, too.
- What about you?
- I don't know.
I I think you're gonna
have a hard time
getting 12 jurors
to agree to any of that.
She just admitted to phoning in the tip
- and lying when questioned.
- Yeah, she was afraid
of leaving behind the two kids
she's already raising.
I mean, she's a 21-year-old woman,
she's got no criminal past.
If I'm the defense, I'm
I'm putting her on the stand
and letting her
tell her side of the story.
Robbie Prendergrast
dropped her into a situation
that she never wanted,
she never asked for.
So, we got one kid without a family.
We lock her up,
we're gonna have two more.
You asked my opinion, there it is.
[door closes]
- Hi.
- Hey.
- What are you doing here?
- I I don't know.
I guess I just thought I should
should come check up on you
after the other night, and
Oh, my God, I'm so [chuckles]
- I'm sorry about that. I
- No, no, no.
- Don't be sorry.
- Blegh.
I mean, I I had fun, you know,
until the Kool-Aid heave and everything.
- Yeah.
- [both chuckle]
Um, yeah.
Uh, y-you big into God, or
- What?
- You oh, the
- Oh.
- Your shirt.
No, I I don't know,
I guess I don't
I'm not really sure
what I believe, I guess.
Yeah, my mom used to take us
up to this church in Oaks.
It was crazy, they had like a
like a rock band
and slideshows, it was super intense.
And they'd put on these concerts
where people would just, like,
start sobbing because of
how amazing God was, or
[chuckles] For the most part,
I kinda just left
feeling like a pretty shitty person.
So, right now, I guess
I'm kind of on a
- a God break.
- Hey, I'm sorry.
I actually need to, um, I need to go.
- My nephew's leaving.
- Oh.
- Yeah. Okay.
- Sorry.
Yeah, nephew's important, um
Hey, um, I have a I have
a magic show Monday night.
If if you have
absolutely nothing to do,
- and if you're around, and
- Okay.
Oh, okay. Wait, "okay"?
[laughing] Yeah.
- Uh, yeah.
- Oh!
Okay.
[banging car] Yeah!
Other side.
[dramatic music playing]
[Sara sobbing]
[people chattering]
- How you doing?
- [gate buzzing open]
- [basketball bouncing]
- [inmates chattering]
[guardian] He's working
daily with a child psychologist.
She said he's a pretty resilient kid.
It's not like his life before this
mess was any picnic either.
Can I ask, why is he in
a juvenile detention facility?
- Pardon?
- Displaced kids
are supposed to be in temporary housing.
Ah. [chuckles]
- You mean Covenant House?
- Yeah.
Lost its funding
and shut down in January.
- What?
- Welcome to the dumpster fire
of county finance.
They had this building here,
and they repurposed it.
Mm.
- Ah, yeah, thanks.
- Mm.
[child coughing]
[clearing throat]
[Tom] Hi, Sam.
Hi.
My name's Tom Brandis.
[sighs]
I was part of the team
of people lookin' for you.
Sure are glad you're safe now.
Mm-hmm.
Are those walls there to protect you?
Mm-hmm.
Who's this little guy?
- [Sam] Gertie.
- Gertie.
She's a chicken.
She's my friend.
I love chickens.
They're good friends.
[Tom softly imitating chicken]
"Bawk-bawk-bawk."
Very sorry about what happened
with your mom and dad.
Imagine that's gotta be pretty tough.
You're quite the builder, Sam.
Thanks.
[soft music playing]
[whispering] Thanks.
- Maeve!
- [chuckles]
Come here. [sniffling]
[Harper sobbing]
I know, I know. It's okay.
It's okay.
[somber music playing]
[TV playing] - [laughing] I
don't know what you're saying.
- [Sara] Oh, no! No!
- [Emily] Oh! Ew, no.
- Oh, my God.
- I think I'm gonna throw up.
[Emily] [laughing] Don't throw up, okay?
Here, come on in.
[Emily and Sara chatting, laughing]
[Tom] Uh, hi, guys.
Sam, these are my
my daughters, Emily and Sara.
- [Emily clearing throat]
- Guys, this is Sam.
- Hi. Hi, Sam.
- Hi. Hi, Sam, hi.
Would one of you
help him, uh, get started
on his his Batman Lego
while I go fix him some dinner?
- [mouth full] Do that, and
- Mm-hmm.
Okay. [mouth full] Uh-huh.
- [door closes]
- Hi, Sam.
You wanna sit down?
- [Sara] Hi.
- Hi.
You wanna maybe, I don't know,
explain who the boy
in the other room is?
Dad, what's going on?
- Shut the door.
- [Emily] Uh
- [whispering] Okay.
- [silverware clattering]
[TV playing faintly]
His name is Sam.
- [scoffs]
- And Sam is?
He's the boy we've been looking for.
From the case?
- The missing boy?
- Yes.
Oh, God. I think the concussion
is worse than we thought.
Goddammit! Knock it off, Sara.
- Hey, Dad!
- and now I'm being goddammit'ed?
- Don't yell at her.
- Wow.
What what is he doing here?
They were keeping him in,
in a temporary shelter
that wasn't really a temporary shelter
because their funding fell through,
and there was no timetable for how long
he was gonna have to stay there,
and because your mother and I
were are still
registered foster parents,
I I had the ability
to to take him in.
Hey, that that's very honorable, Dad,
but do you really think
that's a good idea,
given all that we've got
going on in our lives right now?
Yeah, honestly, Sara, probably not, no.
But all I could think in the moment
was what your mother would do
if she saw that boy there
alone in that place, and the best answer
I could come up with
was to bring him home.
Now, does anyone else want a
peanut butter and jelly sandwich?
[silverware clattering]
I'm gonna go see if Sam
needs any help with his Legos.
- [Tom muttering indistinctly]
- [door sliding open]
[Sara] Sam, how's it going out here?
You want some help?
[fridge door opens]
[ice rattling]
I know what you put in there.
What?
That cup. Mm.
You're not fooling anyone.
- Right.
- [softly] Yeah.
Alright, you'll sleep
in this room tonight.
[Tom groaning]
Whose room is this?
Uh, it's my son, Ethan's.
He's not home?
No, he's living
somewhere else right now.
Is he coming back?
I don't know.
Will he be mad that I used his bed?
No, I don't think so.
Good.
You want me to turn this off, or
Can you stay with me
just until I fall asleep?
Sure. I can stay with you.
[gentle music playing]
[Tom sighs]
- [knocking]
- [Kathleen groaning]
Coming.
Holy shit, is that
an Edible Arrangement?
- Oh, the girls recommended it.
- Come on in.
[grunting] How you feeling?
Fucking awful.
I haven't had a decent shit in two days.
- Have some fruit.
- Mm!
Good idea.
- Nice.
- [clearing throat]
Talked to those pricks
at HR this morning.
[slurping] Mm.
They're moving up my retirement date.
I guess there's no point in having
a fuckin' cripple hanging around.
- Till when?
- Till I find my replacement.
Don't look at me.
[chuckles] Trust me, I wasn't.
- What is it?
- Why is OPS investigating Task?
It's protocol, you know that.
Every officer-involved shooting
has to be investigated.
Yeah, shooting investigations don't
involve also confiscating laptops,
PIVs, and my personal keycard.
I couldn't get into
the office this morning.
Your assignment's over, Tom.
Any outstanding issues with Task
- are gonna be resolved by
- Don't bullshit me.
Come on.
What aren't you tellin' me?
When you were concerned
about information being leaked
I had an analyst look
into your team members.
Everybody came up clean.
Except Grasso.
- [scoffs]
- [Kathleen sighs]
There was a formal complaint
lodged in 2021.
Grasso was part of a Task Force
with this other officer
who thought he might
be tipping off the gangs.
Every time the Strike Force
showed up to raid a house,
the drugs were in the wind.
You wanna guess which gang
they were investigating?
- Dark Hearts.
- Ding, ding, ding!
It's not exactly a smoking gun,
but it's more than enough
for OPS to wanna dig a little deeper.
How come we didn't know
about this, Kath?
No formal charges were ever filed.
Grasso lawyered up with an FOP
and played chicken
- till the DA bailed.
- Jesus fucking Christ, Kath.
I got I got a dead Task member.
Yeah, I know, I was there.
Jesus Christ, Tom.
Why don't you just stand down?
Just let the investigation
run its course.
[softly] Yeah.
So, what's the word on, um,
Jayson Wilkes and Perry Dorazo?
They found their abandoned truck
at a rest stop in Burkesville.
Safe Streets posted an
All-Points Bulletin with PACIC.
I mean, they're casting a very wide net.
[sighs]
These guys are not gonna
last long out there.

- Hey.
Alright, I'm gonna get you some
soda, and then we'll figure out
Try your fries.
[phone buzzing]
Hey. Jay, what's the latest?
Anything back on Eryn?
[Breaker] Nothing.
No one's heard from her.
Well, did did you call
Rourke or Sayers?
I called all our police contacts.
It's like she dropped off
the face of the Earth.
Feds raided the bar this morning.
They cleared the whole place out.
What's the plan, Jay?
I don't know yet. Just, um
[sniffling] call me
when you hear something.
[door opens]
[door closes]
[Perry] Where you been?
[sighs] Went out for some air.
Yeah?
[Jayson sighs]
Looked to me like you were
going out to make another call.
- [sighs]
- How many times
I tell you to stay off
the fucking phone, Jay?
We still can't find Eryn.
She'd never leave our kids, Per.
Never.
[breathing heavily]
[whispering] Then where the fuck is she?
Hey, why don't you go
lie down for a bit, huh?
Get some rest.
I'll cook up some dinner, and
we'll head back out to the river
and keep looking for that bag.

Mind if I come in?
Yeah. Yeah, come on.
Sorry about the, um
I gave the maid the night off.
- Nah.
- Yeah.
Here, uh, sit down. S-Sit here.
You want something to drink?
I'm gonna
- Make yourself comfortable, huh?
- Yeah, I'm I'm fine.
You alright?
Yeah, I'm just gonna grab
myself something, alright?
[items clattering]
[bottle cap rattling]
What are you doing here, Tom?
Ah, I was just checking in on you.
You seemed pretty shaken up
the other night.
I wanted to make sure you're okay.
I didn't get to talk to you,
but you did you see it happen?
Yeah.
Oh. That's the toughest part of the job.
You don't feel responsible, do you?
Nah, it's just, uh
She was a good
she was a good person, Lizzie.
- Yeah.
- She was she was brave.
Yeah. I I couldn't sleep last night.
Kept backing things up in my head.
Thinking
she should have never been out
there in the first place, you know?
What do you mean,
shouldn't have been out there?
Well, the meet with
Cliff Broward in the park.
I mean, if we'd taken him like we aimed,
Robbie would have never
driven out into those woods,
and Lizzie would still be alive.
Yeah.
Talked to Maeve Prendergrast
this morning.
- Maeve?
- Yeah, Robbie's niece.
- Oh, yeah.
- She, um, she confirmed
something that Robbie told
me, uh, in the in the car
on the way to the Poconos,
that that the night
that that Cliff disappeared,
that Robbie and Cliff
weren't going to Bailey Park,
they were going to Wissahickon.
Wissahickon, huh?
Well, maybe she got confused.
I mean, she's a kid, you know?
Yeah, that that was
my instinct as well.
So, I called out to Wissahickon.
I talked to the ranger there.
And they got a camera, luckily,
overlooking the trailhead.
[paper rustling]
And that's the Plymouth Breeze
Cliff stole the night in question.
He was there.
How did Cliff
get out to Wissahickon
instead of Bailey?
Is that rhetorical, or you
asking me a question, Tom?
There's a complaint
that was filed against you
when you were serving
on another Task Force.
You mean Operation Broken Pipeline.
They accused me of, uh,
tipping the Dark Hearts off
to search warrants.
Were you?
You mind if I smoke a cigarette, Tom?
[cigarette pack rustling]
Fuck it, it's my house, huh?
You know, I've been meaning
to ask you something.
[Tom] Hm?
Did you ever hear confession
when you were a priest, Tom?
- Every Thursday, 11:00 to 2:00.
- Mm.
See, here's a question I always had.
Priest gives you your penance
and you get on your knees
and you say your Hail Marys
and your Our Fathers.
And then, what?
All those sins, they just
they just disappear
like they never existed?
'Cause, I mean, God don't seem
like someone who forgets, right?
So, is it more like when you
finally stand before him
He's all, "Well, we said
they were forgotten.
"But now that you're here, Anthony,
we got some things to talk about"?
You ever done something you're
sure you can't be forgiven for, Tom?
My son's been sitting
in a prison for 14 months,
and I haven't been to visit him once.
Confession's for humans.
It's a human practice
to help us deal with the shame.
Confession's not for God's sake.
If you want to be forgiven
all you have to do is ask.
You see that? You're good, Tom.
You're really good.
I bet people told you
all their secrets, didn't they?
Grasso.
Did you direct Cliff Broward
to Wissahickon Park that night?
What do you believe?
I believe you did.
Well
That's the thing
between believing something
and proving it.
A million miles lie.
[Tom grunting softly]
[sighs]
I'm comin' for you, Grasso.
So, come.
[door closes]
[Aleah] Wanna tell me
what the fuck is going on?
First, they're boxing up
all our shit at headquarters,
and then when I go to my chief
to ask him to reissue my firearm
- Aleah.
- he tells me that I'm on indefinite leave.
- To stay home till further notice.
- Aleah. Aleah.
- No, what kind of bullshit is that?
- Aleah.
Let's go inside.
We got a lot to talk about.
[door opens]
[gentle music playing]
- [Perry] You wanna take this side?
- [Jayson] Yeah.
[Wyatt] [shouting]
I don't wanna take a shower!
[Harper] He's not gonna take a shower.
Come on, Wyatt, get in
before the hot water gets cold.

I'm so sorry.
