Allegiance (2024) s03e03 Episode Script

1
Previously, on Allegiance
- I had to go after him
- You had options!
- Sabrina!
- [EXPLOSION ROARS]
You could've trusted us
trusted me
but instead you chose to go rogue.
Uh
Dad, you remember Nate?
[NATE] Uh, Mr. Sohal
Call me Ajeet.
- Welcome.
- Things fell through the cracks.
This case, it happened
because I didn't do my job right.
What about a new job, then?
Ellistern's retiring.
We need a new Watch Commander.
You can make sure nothing
falls through the cracks again.
As of today, Oliver Campbell
is formally suspended.
[WOMAN HUMMING SOFTLY
TO "NEVER SURRENDER"]
And if your path won't lead you home ♪
You can never surrender ♪
Enough with the Depression-FM, Brandy.
Don't listen to her.
It's pretty and powerful
just like you.
We need some real jams, like Miley.
[WOMEN CHUCKLING]
[BRANDY] I need this one.
[CAR APPROACHING]
Okay
It's Dave.
Sorry.
All right.
See ya later, queens.
[MEI] Hey, nice haircut.
You know how it works.
But it's gonna be a good
night. I can feel it.
You always say that!
And I'm always right.
Besides, you've had
me, like, for an hour.
Do you know how much that costs?
- This is very beautiful on you.
- Thank you.
[CAR APPROACHING]
Okay.
[♪]
You lookin' for a good time?
[CAR DOOR SHUTS]
[♪]
[♪]
Hello?
[♪]
Shit.
Yo! Call the cops! Call the cops.
[♪]
[KEYS CLACKING]
Hey.
"Oh, good morning, Sabrina.
How are you doing?"
- "Oh, Ish, thank you so much for asking
- Can you keep it down?
It's just I'm in the middle
of something important.
[KEYS CLACKING]
Aiden and I killed ourselves
putting those Campbell files together
with our team at the C.I.U.,
and that criminal walks
away with a nice suspension.
Yeah, I don't like it
any more than you do.
Yeah, well, it's hard to tell
whose side you're on these days.
Hey, what is that supposed to mean?
It hasn't been easy for me either.
Kara's gone.
Zak and I are just back to normal.
Yeah, well, this is good old CFPC drama.
Well, I'm not the most popular
person at the detachment.
Half of them think that I'm
an over-entitled princess
who personally got Campbell suspended.
They respected him.
- They don't trust me.
- Screw them.
Hey, I mean, at least
your love life's popping.
Bring the guy home to family dinner?
I mean, when's the wedding?
[PHONE BUZZES]
Is that Nate boo?
No, it's work.
You want that?
[SIREN WAILS]
[VINCE] Okay.
Vince?
Hey. Thanks.
Sanitation discovered
her body this morning.
[CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING]
Is Tenille away?
Yeah. Looks like it.
- [SABRINA] Brambilla?
- Sohal.
Kalaini.
Female.
Mid-to late-30s.
Estimated time of death 8 to 12 hours.
Do we have a name?
There was no name tag
on the body, Detective.
[GABBY] No I.D.
I found a purse close by, but no wallet.
Officers are checking
the dumpster and bags
for anything that looks suspicious.
And drag marks.
Doesn't look like the
primary crime scene.
And no CCTV footage?
Nothing from the area, no.
Let's take some officers
and canvas that apartment
building over there.
- Copy that.
- Yeah.
Do you have a cause of death?
Strangulation.
Asphyxiation caused by external pressure
to the anterior cervical region.
Incised wounds on
antebrachium and forearms.
What, defensive wounds?
- Mm-hmm.
- Cuts look pretty deep.
The wounds were created
by the tangential force
of a sharp-edged object,
like a knife.
Abrasions on wrists
consistent with restraints.
- Handcuffs?
- Yes.
Oh, and she has the
most peculiar marking.
[♪]
"F40"?
Hey, Gillian I'm sending you a photo.
Our woman has "F40"
written on her forehead.
[SHUTTER SNAPS]
I'll start digging.
Thanks, Gill.
Thanks.
[♪]
This area's a meeting place
for sex workers and johns.
If you're looking for
a name for our Jane Doe,
Detective Meyer's a good place to start.
Mitch Meyer, from Vice?
Yeah. You know him?
Now, these here are what
you call "designer donuts".
Okay? You got your crème brûlée,
your cherry cheesecake
and your Homer Simpson special.
I'll take a Boston Cream with
a side of bragging rights.
- Kalaini!
- What's up, brother?
How are you, bro?
The only right you have
is to remain silent.
That three-pointer was a lucky shot.
Oh, is "lucky" the new
word for "talented"?
This guy.
Speaking of. Is this Detective Sohal?
- Detective Meyer.
- Kalaini here sings your praises.
- [SABRINA] Oh, yeah?
- Oh, yeah.
[ABRUPTLY] Listen. Um
Found a body in the industrial
yard off Old Yale Road.
I wanted to see if you recognized her.
[♪]
Pretty sure that's Brandy.
[♪]
She struggled with addiction.
What's, uh
what's that on her forehead?
We're working on that. Uh,
do you have a last name?
Yeah, uh. Full name's Allison Taylor.
Yeah, we busted a massage parlour
she was working at not that long ago.
She O.D., or ?
No. Handcuffed, strangled,
abandoned among garbage bags.
[QUIETLY] Jesus.
What about bad johns
any reports, lately?
Not here.
There were a few isolated incidents
in Langley, a while ago.
Any arrests?
Hey, you should, uh, you should
talk to the other girls, though.
They might be able to help you out.
They usually hang at Saint Joan Mission.
Great. Thanks, Mitch.
Yeah. Hey. Hope you get the guy.
[ZAK] Cheers, brother.
Hey, Vince? Yeah. We got
a name on our Jane Doe.
[VINCE] We're still
investigating circumstances.
Oh, my God. Allie.
She She just
She just called me, two nights ago.
She
Take your time.
She asked me for money
and I said no.
[SOBS] Oh, my God.
If I would've just given it to her
When was the last time
you saw your sister?
Two months ago.
I took her some clothes and shampoo.
She used to have the most
beautiful, thick hair,
but it was all matted,
and she was so skinny
Rebecca
do you know of anyone who
might've wanted to hurt Allison?
You mean besides johns and addicts?
What about a boyfriend or an ex?
I don't know. I-I don't think so.
[SIGHS]
She did tell me about this one guy,
a-a photographer.
She liked him.
He said he could get her modelling work.
And did he? Did that work out for her?
I never saw any photos.
Did she maybe tell you his name?
No.
I'm not sure if she made that story up,
or if it was real.
Okay, well, thank you again
for your time, Rebecca.
Again, we're really sorry for your loss.
[REBECCA] Allie was a bright light.
She should be alive.
Find who did this.
We'll do everything we can.
If, uh
you need anything
[♪]
Yeah?
[♪]
[CHURCH BELLS RINGING]
[ZAK] Her body was found
in an industrial yard this morning.
Could you identify her, Pastor Patrick?
[SIGHS HEAVILY]
[PASTOR PATRICK] Yes. That's her.
She was such a wonderful person.
Sorry.
It's okay.
Did Brandy come here often?
Yeah. She would come
at least once a week,
since I started, three months ago.
It took a while to build trust.
We would talk.
She liked to read in
the drop-in centre.
Same spot, all the time.
She really loved singing
in the community choir
and helping the kids with the chapel.
She was doing okay for a while.
She got her 30-day chip.
And then she stopped
going to meetings
[TEARFULLY] and when you do that
Ahem.
For me, it was whiskey.
Celebrated 15 years.
Do you remember the
last time you saw Brandy?
Yeah, yesterday, at choir practice.
Brandy was with Mei
and Delilah
The Three Musketeers.
Hey, Dad, we're running
low on sandwiches.
This is my son, Jordy.
- Hi. Detective Sohal.
- Yeah.
This is Detective Kalaini.
Are you here for the
community outreach meeting?
Son, Brandy was found dead this morning.
W-what happened?
That's what we're trying to figure out.
[PASTOR PATRICK] Now is the time
we can lean on our community,
but we do need to speak
to these policemen, okay?
[WOMEN SNIFFLING]
We need to find out what happened.
They're here now.
Come on, Mei.
Detectives, this is Mei Wanyan
Delilah St. James.
[MEI SNIFFLES]
I'll be in my office.
Hi there.
My name is Zak Kalaini.
[SABRINA] Hi. I'm Sabrina.
We're very sorry for your loss.
Sure you are.
One less sex worker for
you to arrest, right?
[ZAK] Uh, we were hoping
to ask you a few questions.
It's your fault she's dead.
You raided our massage parlour.
Kicked down the doors,
waving your guns around,
trashed the place,
rounded us up like criminals,
and forced us onto the
streets to fend for ourselves!
Shame on you!
Shame on all of you!
Brandy's blood is on your hands!
I think my sister said it all.
She's right.
Mei is right. We left
Brandy exposed to this risk.
We should've done more to protect her
to protect all of you.
We want to do that.
We want to find the person who did this,
so it doesn't happen again.
Delilah, we need your help.
Patrick said that you were
with Brandy last night.
[SIGHING DEEPLY]
Please
if you have any information
It was a dark sedan.
Maybe a Honda.
I didn't get a good look at him.
Medium build, maybe.
[DEEP BREATH, SIGH]
[UNZIPS BAG]
I write down all of
the licence plates
of the cars the girls get into.
[RIP]
The licence plate was muddy,
so I only saw some of the numbers.
[PAGE CRINKLES]
This is very helpful.
- Thank you.
- Don't thank me.
Find his ass
and nail it.
[♪]
We got nothing from the garbage,
still waiting on DNA, and still no hits
on "F40".
[VINCE] Brandy's sister mentioned
something about a photographer.
She didn't get a name,
but the guy sounds shady
we're looking into it now.
I ran the partial plate you sent me.
Five possible matches just came in.
[KEYS CLACKING]
Three of them are registered to women.
Which doesn't match the profile.
Vehicles could've been driven
by a husband or a boyfriend.
[BOLTON] Yeah, you're not wrong, but two
of vehicles are registered
to men let's start there.
"Jeremy Mislan" and "Fitzgerald Oster".
Both men have Nissan Sentras.
[ZAK] Let's talk to these guys.
[DOORS THUD]
[SABRINA] Mud covering
half the licence plate.
[♪]
[KIDS LAUGHING CLOSE BY]
Sabrina?
[♪]
[ZAK] Hey, guys.
- How're you doing?
- Five more minutes, you guys.
[ZAK] Hi there.
Detectives Kalaini and
Sohal with the CFPC.
- Hi.
- We're looking for Fitzgerald Oster?
That's my husband.
W-What's this regarding?
Babes! You left the
gas on in the barbecue.
[SABRINA] Mr. Oster. Hi. CFPC.
Do you mind if we have a moment?
- What's going on, Fitz?
- It's nothing.
[MRS. OSTER] It sure
doesn't look like "nothing".
Here. The kids are starving.
Uh Come on, you two. Come on.
Before the hot dogs get cold.
[FOOTSTEPS SCAMPERING]
[CHILD] Hot dogs!
Mr. Oster, is that your
Sentra in the driveway?
- Yeah?
- Where were you last night, around 8 p.m.?
I was working late.
[ZAK] Uh, your licence plate matches
a car that picked up a sex worker
in a parking lot on 108th Ave.
I don't know what you
guys are talking about.
Hey. Turn around.
I'm bringing you in on
suspicion of murder. Let's go.
[♪]
We've got Forensics combing
your car right now, Fitz.
I'm thinking they're
gonna find Brandy's DNA
on the seats, on the cuffs,
and you'll be facing down a
first-degree murder charge.
I told you I picked her up!
And I'm a security guard,
that's why I have handcuffs.
You know, the sooner
you tell us the truth,
the easier it'll be for everyone.
Fitz.
It was [SIGHING]
it was my first time.
I was [SIGHING] lonely.
[CHAIR SCRAPES FLOOR]
My wife and I things are not so good.
I just [SIGHS]
- I took her to
- "Brandy."
I took Brandy to the lot in Kwantlen,
but then I had second thoughts.
I said I wanted to leave
"thanks anyway," you know
but she insisted that
I pay the full amount.
I thought I was being scammed.
- And that pissed you off?
- No.
I tried to reason with her.
But you'd already taken up her time.
You had cost her money.
That's why I finally paid her half.
Look, we didn't do anything.
[ZAK] You know what I think?
I think something happened in that car
that pushed you too far.
She embarrassed you and you snapped.
All right, so let me get this straight.
You picked her up,
you changed your mind,
you left her upset in a parking lot,
and then you just drove home?
Yes.
Like I said I did.
You know, something was off with her.
She was all jittery,
said she really needed the money bad,
and then she got out,
slammed the door,
and was gone.
And now she's dead.
[♪]
[ELEVATOR BELL DINGS]
Thanks for the update.
So? What did Dr. Nikki have to say?
Well, the tests came back on
the cuffs in Oster's car
Brandy's DNA isn't on them.
Okay, so he's not our guy.
Well, we don't know Brandy's
movements after Fitz dropped her off.
The assailant could be the next john,
or three johns later.
Or not a john at all.
What about the photographer?
We may have something. Take
a look at Brandy's socials.
[GILLIAN] Yeah, I found similar photos
on other accounts.
Uh, same demographic of model,
same backdrops and poses
Do you see what we see?
That wall looks familiar.
The old Growers' Co-op in Newton.
That was one of our first calls.
And a photographer
named Richard Manning rents space there.
He did time for dealing, two years ago.
There's a warrant out for his arrest
not for dealing, for
dodging child support.
A real gem.
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
See ya.
Nice.
Now just switch up that position
a little bit for me there.
Nice.
Oh, that's perfect.
Look at that!
Ahh.
If you could just maybe show
me a little more shoulder, yeah?
Great!
[SHOP DOOR DINGS]
You know what, just hang
tight for a sec here.
[CURTAINS SWISHING]
[SABRINA] Richard Manning?
- Uh, yeah.
- Detective Sohal.
This is Detective Kalaini.
You left your door open.
Well, I'm in the middle of a shoot,
guys. What's this about?
We're investigating a homicide.
Brandy Taylor.
You photographed her.
Yeah, but I've photographed
a lot of girls, I mean
She's vaguely familiar, yeah.
- How old are you?
- She's twen twenty.
Twenty one.
You want to try that again?
[ZAK] How's your daughter?
Dude, what's my daughter
got to do with anything?
You're behind on your child support.
Yeah, and there's a
warrant for your arrest.
Okay, well, I don't
know anything about that.
[ZAK] Right. Maybe your
memory will improve at the station.
Yeah, like what your
relationship with Brandy was,
when the last time you saw her was
Anything else that may
arise from your computer,
your phone, your camera
Okay. Yeah, I know her.
You're [SIGHS HEAVILY]
You're saying she's dead?
Okay. I mean, we hung out a bit.
We did a few sessions, I liked her,
but I haven't seen her in months
she was trying to clean up.
Must've been hard, considering
you were her dealer.
If I was her dealer, why w
why would I kill her, hmm?
Oh, I don't know
maybe she ripped you off,
took your drugs, didn't pay up.
[SABRINA] Uniforms can take him in.
Hey.
Are you okay?
Did you take any of that?
[♪]
[MAN] The wife is pressing
me and the kid's crazy.
Work is work, man.
Hey, Jimmy-John!
Oh, my, my
my Delilah.
- Hey.
- Aww, girl.
Hey, girl, you got some time for me?
I always have time
for you. You know that.
What's new? What's been good?
[PARKING BRAKE ENGAGES]
[♪]
We can only hold Manning for so long
on the missed child support.
Well, let's make the most of it.
[VINCE] Sabrina.
Vince, we picked up the photographer,
looks like he might've been
grooming his next victim.
[URGENTLY] Sabrina!
Another woman's been attacked.
[♪]
It's Delilah.
- [RESPONDER RADIOS CRACKLING]
- Same M.O.?
- [VINCE] Yeah.
- That's two attacks in 24 hours.
Yeah. He's still at large,
and he's escalating.
We're mobilizing units now.
The attack happened
approximately 30 minutes ago.
The assailant was last
seen heading east on 108th.
- [ZAK] Thanks, Gabby.
- Yeah.
Pull CCTV, get witness statements,
turn over every rock.
- Let's go!
- Let's hustle.
Delilah
I didn't see him until
the prick was on top of me,
but I fought like hell
kicked him in the balls.
Screamed at the top of my
lungs, and people came and
[CHOKES UP]
I'm so sorry.
Can you describe what happened?
I had just finished with a client
he's a regular, and he left,
so I was freshening up,
but I guess I let my
guard down for a second.
Did you see his face?
No.
He was like a ghost
he came out of nowhere.
He was wearing a black
hoodie and a mask,
like a balaclava.
Did you notice anything
distinguishing about him?
A smell, maybe something
on his clothing?
No
but when he grabbed my neck,
I could feel like [WORDS CATCHING]
What is it, Delilah?
I could f-feel how much he hated me.
[EXHALES DEEPLY]
This escalation this
level of violence
doesn't come out of nowhere.
I remember Mitch mentioning
those cases in Langley.
Yeah, but none of the
Langley assault victims
ended up dead, or marked with ink.
Serial predators often
work up to murder.
Could've started with
beatings, and now
All right. Let's look at
attacks in the local area.
These are the locations of
Brandy and Delilah's attacks.
- What are those?
- The assaults in Langley.
- There were four of them.
- You ran the Rossmo Formula?
Mm-hmm. Same M.O.
Handcuffs, strangulation, mask.
No arrests, and the attacks
suddenly stopped three months ago.
- And started here?
- So our guy moved to Surrey?
Looks that way. I've mapped his profile,
and where he's most likely
to live and operate
somewhere within this
eight-block radius.
These are all high-traffic
areas for sex workers.
And Brandy was headed in the direction
of Enigma Strip Club
when he attacked her in this alley.
What about the F40?
There's nothing in the Langley cases.
It could be a more recent addition,
but I still haven't
been able to crack it.
Maybe we're looking at it wrong.
That four, if you extend it
out, it looks like an "H".
"F.H.O."?
Yeah, I'll hit the Dark
Web and encrypted forums.
[ZAK] We need to let these
women know they're in danger.
The question isn't if he'll
strike again, it's when.
We need to stop him.
Reach out to Mitch?
A surveillance operation?
Well, if he's escalating,
we need eyes on the street, ASAP.
That's not something we can
do on short notice, Kalaini.
Well, I'm ready to step in, undercover.
- I've done it before.
- That was car theft.
This is a violent offender
who's transitioned to murder.
Well, I I can guide her.
Meyer's Vice.
He's got plenty of
undercover experience.
[SABRINA] Yeah, we'll talk
to the women, have undercover
officers take their
place, keep civilians safe.
I don't think we have the resources.
[SABRINA] Oh, resources like
we had to stage a huge raid
on a massage parlour, because it
made the yoga moms uncomfortable?
- Watch yourself, Detective.
- A minute? Sir?
She can't be insubordinate, Vince.
Yeah, I know. I'll talk to her.
But trust me. She can do this.
Gabinski, Kalaini, and
myself, we'll have her back.
You know, if this goes south
- I know.
- I got a lead on "F.H.O."
"Female human organism".
There are forums online
full-on misogynist hate groups.
There's some nasty
threads about sex workers.
- What are they saying?
- Well, for starters,
sex workers should be punished
for taking advantage of lonely men
by using their sexuality for profit.
So our guy's an incel?
Yep. An involuntary celibate.
It says "femoid"? What is that?
A derogatory term incels
use to describe women.
They compare us to androids
meaning, females are not fully human.
- [WORDS CATCH]
- These guys see themselves
as victims of women.
Which justifies the violence.
Yeah. There's one more thing.
Uh, I also found a thread
referencing the areas that
Brandy and Delilah work.
One user mentioned the woman found dead
off of Old Yale Road this morning.
"Bye-bye. Going cold now.
'F.H.O.' across your forehead.
One less slut. You're welcome."
This is him! We haven't
released that information yet.
Gill, can you trace him?
I'm trying, but it's
encrypted apps and Tor.
He's doing it for the attention.
Which means each move is
gonna be bigger than the last.
Yeah.
[♪]
[DEEP BREATH]
All right.
I'm in. But only limited personnel
on surveillance and undercover.
All right.
[♪]
[♪]
You're gonna want to keep your wire live
and your exit clear, okay?
Don't underestimate anyone
you encounter in the field.
You're not playing a character.
You're playing a human being.
So, you need to talk the right way,
you need to walk the right way.
Check the dude out.
Is he dangerous?
Does he have a weapon?
Because, in a pinch
you're gonna have to get creative.
All right, now, any weaponry
or surveillance devices
need to be concealed.
We'll have you outfitted with
a wire and a remote body cam,
but anything detectable
you're compromised.
When clients get shifty,
they look at the ground
they don't look at the goods
- Okay.
- so,
he's probably lying
about what he wants.
We'll establish an
emergency response plan
and procedure for your extraction,
but if the situation escalates,
- abort.
- [DELILAH] And don't take chances.
"Chances" get you killed.
If it doesn't feel right,
do not get in that car.
[♪]
[QUIETLY] So if you're
lost and all alone ♪
[JOINS IN] You can never surrender ♪
- [DELILAH CHUCKLES]
- I love that song.
That's That's
Brandy's favourite song.
Tell me more about her.
[DEEP BREATH]
Well
she was just one of those people.
You know?
Lit up the whole room.
We started calling her "Honey Bee".
'Cause she was so sweet?
And "Honey Badger"
when she was stubborn.
[LAUGHS]
You're gonna catch him, right?
We're gonna do everything that we can.
Okay, Serious Crimes, in
collaboration with Vice,
is conducting a surveillance operation
on Whalley Boulevard.
We believe this is our
suspect's hunting ground.
Detective Sohal, Officer Atkinson,
and Officer Munroe
will be undercover as sex workers
to lure this guy in.
Kalaini,
Brambilla,
Gabinski,
and Meyer will lead
plainclothes surveillance.
Our civilian, Delilah St.
James, has offered to help.
We're lucky to have you.
She'll be riding with Brambilla.
Vince?
So, we all have our
designated watch points.
Remember that a lot of these
alleys don't have car access.
Gabinski and I will be
parked here on King George.
Yeah. I'll be parked right here.
And I'll be here.
Atkinson? You're here, Tattoo Alley.
Monroe, you're Dragon Alley.
Sohal here, Rickshaw Alley.
- Copy that.
- Grove will be our eyes,
and Command via body and dash cams
and cameras we have
placed within the radius.
That's it. Any questions?
All clear.
- All good.
- Then get out there and be safe!
[♪]
Constant communication.
You ready?
Let's do this.
[BOLTON] We remain vigilant,
in constant contact.
Our suspect was last
seen wearing a hoodie
and a balaclava concealing his face.
His M.O. to date
involves immobilizing
his target with handcuffs,
violently assaulting
her, sometimes lethally,
and marking her forehead with ink.
Weapon of choice is a knife,
but, as he's escalating,
a firearm cannot be ruled out.
The moment he makes his presence known,
we move in immediately,
and take him down.
[♪]
[DRIVER] Yum, yum. How much?
Not tonight.
Come on. I know you're working.
I said no.
What do you mean no?
Hey! I'm talking to you.
Hey!
[DRIVER/ZAK] Hey, baby.
I'll give you double.
Hey, handsome. You having a good night?
You gotta be kidding me.
Ah, it could be better.
Oh, yeah?
You know of any good
parties around here?
Well, that depends. Are
you looking to unwind?
Sure am.
500. Around the world.
Mm. Sorry.
- It's out of my budget.
- Outta your budget?
What do you mean, out of your budget?
[THUMPS CAR] Hey! You
said you'd pay double.
[♪]
[♪]
Hey. Check it out.
[♪]
That look like the guy who attacked you?
Yeah. Same outfit.
Sabrina, we've got eyes
on a possible suspect.
Male. 20s.
Black hoodie, cargo pants.
Looks like he has a knife.
He's heading east. Carrying a backpack.
I've got him!
Heading towards Rickshaw Alley.
[♪]
He's headed your way, Atkinson.
[♪]
Maintain distance, Sohal.
[♪]
[MUFFLED MUSIC THUMPING OUT OF CLUB]
Atkinson? He's closing in!
[♪]
[INDISTINCT BANTER OVER THUMPING MUSIC]
I don't have eyes.
[INDISTINCT DIN]
We've lost him in the crowd.
[MITCH] Sohal, stand down.
[♪]
He's gotta be here somewhere.
Stand down!
[MUSIC THUMPING,
INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]
[♪]
[QUIETLY] Fall back.
Keep eyes on this side.
[♪]
Sir? Screen three.
Who's that?
Not one of ours.
Are you telling me we have a civilian
in the middle of our op?
- Do you see him?
- No.
[♪]
[MITCH] I got eyes.
[♪]
Uh, it's not him. It's not him.
College students with fake swords.
- [BLOWS START LANDING]
- [MEN GROANING]
Nobody breaks cover.
Nobody breaks cover!
[CROWD YELLING]
[♪]
[BOLTON] Is that a john?
We have eyes on the suspect!
He's attacking a civilian!
One block west
of you, Sabrina!
All officers, respond! Now!
On my way.
We're right behind you, Zak.
[BOLTON] We've lost visual.
[♪]
[MEI GASPING AND SOBBING]
[CRYING AND GASPING]
Police! Hands up!
- [MEI GASPS AND CRIES]
- Let her go!
Drop the weapon!
You don't want to do this.
Let her go!
[MEI WHIMPERING] Please.
Please, please, please.
Please. Please [SCREAMS]
Civilian down! We need EMTs.
No! Please don't leave me! I'm not safe!
[SOBBING]
[SABRINA] Assailant has fled.
Heading east.
No visual.
[MEI SOBBING]
[♪]
Are you okay?
It's okay. You're safe.
[SHOUTS] He went that way!
- IT's okay, it's okay.
- [MEI SOBBING]
[TIRES SQUEALING]
[BRAKES SCREECHING]
[♪]
- No sign?
- Do we have eyes on the suspect?
We lost him.
Shit!
Dammit.
[MEI SOBBING]
[♪]
Not only did you put a civilian
in danger, you lost the subject.
- You knew signing off on this was a risk.
- Understood, sir.
Can one of you please tell me,
with all of the precautions we took,
how the hell this happened?
A group of college kids threw us off.
- Officer Meyer was meant to
- Actually, sir,
it's because I made a
decision to stay with Mei,
instead of going after the subject.
[BOLTON] Yeah.
Yeah, I saw it in full colour.
What was your directive, Sohal?
- [POUNDS TABLE]
- What was your directive?
To warn the ladies and
keep them out of the zone.
This was on all of us, sir.
We should've tightened up the perimeter.
[KNOCKING]
Traces of epithelial cells,
worn by the wearer of
said gloves, were found,
but DNA
however, no matches in the database.
[BOLTON] All right. Thank you.
We saw these gloves at
the Saint Joan Mission
at the garden centre.
The Mission is within the Rossmo radius.
Yeah, and the pastor said that he'd
only been in Surrey for a few months.
20 bucks says he moved
here from Langley,
where the prior attacks were.
Go. Let's bring him in.
[PATRICK] I've dedicated my
life to helping these women.
Their safety has
always been my priority.
We've traced an I.P.
address back to your church.
Because of that, we believe that
the DNA that we find on that glove
will match yours.
Look. I know you're just doing your job,
but you have to believe
me when I tell you,
I could never hurt anyone,
especially our most vulnerable.
I don't know about
I.P. addresses.
I only do email.
How many computers in the house?
- I just have the one.
- What about your son?
Does he have one?
[♪]
[ZAK] Hey there, Jordy.
[♪]
[EXHALES] So
how long you been back from U of T?
Uh, a month.
Nice.
What's your major?
Biology, minor in stats.
Ah-hah. University life.
I remember it well.
[CHUCKLING]
A lot of late nights,
and it wasn't all studying.
[FORCED CHUCKLE]
So [LIGHTLY THUMPS DESK]
you're back here for the
summer, working with your dad?
Nice.
Helping him help
people in the community.
He's got a big heart.
I bet that runs in the family.
Uh [CHUCKLES AWKWARDLY]
People don't always see
that, though. Do they?
I thought about that a
lot, when I was your age.
How, sometimes, you could
have so much to give,
but you can still feel invisible
to the people around you.
Uh, I mean, women, mostly.
[JORDY SIGHS UNCOMFORTABLY]
I bet you have someone special.
Back at school, or here at home?
[DOOR BURSTS OPEN]
All right, let's get started.
[DOOR THUDS]
This yours, Jordan?
That's fine. You don't
have to answer me.
I already know that it is.
Wh [STAMMERS AND SIGHS]
Yeah, I won't need much time here.
That's 'cause Constable Grove
she's our computer expert
she reads all of these encrypted chats
that aren't as private as the
guys in there think they are.
You know, some of the
things that these guys say,
oh, God, you wouldn't believe.
Guys who feel shut out,
angry, who hate women
Some of them specifically
hate sex workers.
And they don't just talk.
They fantasize
- about hurting them.
- [ZAK] Wait-wait-wait. What are you saying?
This guy doesn't want to hurt anybody.
You don't wanna hurt
anybody, right, Jordy?
- [SABRINA] Is that right, Jordy?
- [JORDY CHUCKLES AWKWARDLY]
[SABRINA] Do you ever feel
lonely?
Do you ever feel angry?
Or do you get all the
"femoid" that you deserve?
- Uh
- Oh, the strong, silent type.
I love it.
Okay. Walk me through
your last few evenings.
What, were you
home, by yourself?
Or were you out with your friends?
Oh, wait.
Wait. You don't have
any friends, do you?
I was at church.
Oh? You were at church?
At night? Are you sure?
Because we talked to a few people,
none of 'em saw you there.
See, that's the thing
about community, Jordan.
Somebody always sees something.
You ever heard of "Red Pill"?
"NoFap"?
This is you, isn't it?
[UNEASY CHUCKLE] No.
I think it is.
I'll tell you why.
Our computer-savvy colleague
she traced this handle
back to the I.P. address
tied to this laptop.
Wanna read what you wrote?
Here. You said
that you were going to "show them "
[ZAK] Come on, that's not my guy.
Can you believe her?
'Cause "they shouldn't be selling
what should be ours "
- Hey. I
- which is access to the FHO's body.
You were going to punish
them for using their body
in the way that they wanted,
for rejecting all of
- those miserable, lonely men
- No!
with zero sexual-market value.
I read through all of your posts.
All of them.
Very sad.
University wasn't what you expected.
You couldn't get a woman there either.
Because look at you.
You have to wear a mask
to get close to a woman,
and even then, you
have to use handcuffs,
- so she doesn't run away from you.
- [RAGING] Shut up!
[♪]
[SEETHING] You
piece-of-shit feminist slut.
You don't know me.
Flaunting your power
rubbing our faces in
it like it's yours
well, it's not yours!
Those street whores they choose it.
They seduce, they exploit
[CHUCKLES DARKLY]
until we rise up.
Mm. Until we stand up to
them and we make them pay!
Told you I wouldn't need much time.
[♪]
We got him.
- [JORDY SIGHS]
- [DOOR SLAMS]
[♪]
[SABRINA] Vince?
- Yeah?
- DNA from Brandy's attack is a match.
- We got our guy.
- Good news.
It's the tip of the iceberg.
I've set up a meeting with
the Superintendent and Delilah.
- Yeah?
- It's a conversation about
safe spaces, about respect.
That's great news!
You know, guys have been working
those streets for decades.
You know the difference
you made in 24 hours?
I wish it felt better right now.
Lives were saved.
Focus on that.
Helps to know my Watch
Commander's got my back.
Always.
And this from your Watch Commander
you talk to Bolton like that
in front of your peers again,
and you'll be on
suspension, you hear me?
Yes, sir.
He's not wrong. This
could've gone a lot worse.
And losing your job over
that "yoga moms" jab? Really?
Yoga moms are annoying, you know.
Hey. What are you up to tonight?
[♪]
Hey.
He just left with Sohal.
I got the tracker.
Soon, you'll know every move he makes.
[♪]
[♪]
[DELILAH] I was reluctant
to come back here
a lot of us were
but we've been pushed out of
too many places in this city,
told we don't belong.
[♪]
And this was Brandy's sanctuary,
where she found peace,
and, today, we are
reclaiming it as our own.
Brandy loved this song.
She wanted to perform it here.
This one's for you, Honey Bee.
