Previously, on Allegiance
[SIREN WAILS]
[VINCE] I'll run the plates.
Sergeant?
- He's drinking.
- Yeah.
[ZAK] You cut off
communication with your partner,
your team paralyzed the detachment
because we thought you might be dead.
- Sabrina!
- [EXPLOSION ROARS]
while you enjoy the lucky streak
of your one-woman show called
"Following My Instincts".
Is this Detective Sohal?
- Detective Meyer.
- [MITCH] Kalaini here sings your praises.
- Oh yeah?
- Oh, yeah.
- [BALLS CLACKING]
- Wow. Cool.
Do you want to go again,
or are you tired of losing?
Oh, it only looks like I'm losing.
I'm-I'm playing the long game.
Oh, the long game of
losing lots of games?
[ZAK] You glad you
finally came out with us?
You know what, I'm actually having fun.
- "Actually"?
- [GILLIAN] Sabrina's idea of fun
is one glass of wine and paperwork.
You know what? Actually,
I-I can't because
Come on! Boo-oo-oo!
Boo!
I'm joking, I'm joking.
Here we go. All right, bottoms up.
Cheers. Cheers, cheers, cheers.
Oh, wow.
Mm.
[GILL] Oh, my God, what is that?
Doubles?
Me and you, against the Backstreet Boys?
Oh, really? Okay. So
You "want it that way"? I got you.
Careful. You guys are
about to lose real bad.
- [LAUGHTER]
- Yeah, I am in,
- but water first?
- Yes, please.
[♪]
[SABRINA] Hey. Two waters, please?
- Oh
- Hey, watch where you're going!
Sorry.
[SABRINA] Hey, Assad,
it was an accident.
[♪]
Um, I need you to come keep score.
If I win,
Zak's getting my ass
tattooed on his face,
or my face tattooed on his ass.
I don't know, one of those.
- Platonically, or ?
- Oh, my God, yes.
It was like making out with my cousin.
[♪]
[TYPING ON PHONE]
[CRASHING]
[♪]
[SIREN WAILING IN DISTANCE]
[VINCE] Female, 30s.
A jogger found her this morning.
That doesn't look good. Is she
[VINCE] She's unconscious.
Serious injuries on just
about every inch of her body.
Hospital's gonna administer a rape kit.
[♪]
Hey, I've seen her before.
She came to the bar last night.
- She seemed upset.
- You get a name?
Uh, no I.D.?
No, no purse either. There's
a smashed phone nearby.
We're thinking it's hers.
Hey, Gillian? I'm sending you
a photo of the victim's tattoo.
Any chance you can
track down the artist?
By the magic of reverse image search,
- yes, there is a chance.
- Thanks.
Uniforms are still
combing the area, but
it's a public park, so
Anything relevant close
to where she was attacked?
Cigarette butts,
broken sunglass lens,
candy wrapper, and a kid's shoe.
This level of violence
- doesn't feel like a robbery.
- [ZAK] Agreed.
Why smash her phone,
instead of taking it?
Based on the extent of her injuries,
it feels personal.
What, she knew her attacker?
Or it was hate-motivated.
Hey, Gill, check for any recent reports
of violent assaults on
women near Bronning Park.
On it, uh,
and Sabrina, I might have something.
I found a photo
with the same design
on a guy's shoulder.
Forwarding it to you now.
The tattoo studio's
address is 7-2-8-1, 109th.
[ZAK] Great. We're on it.
All right, let's station officers at
the hospital until we know more,
and make sure that they let us know
- as soon as she's conscious.
- Copy that.
I'll see if I can get CCTV from the bar,
and find out who else
might've seen her there.
Thanks, Vince.
Sohal?
You know, when I saw her last night,
I knew something was off.
She seemed scared, she seemed nervous.
I should've talked to her,
I should've made sure
that she was okay
instead, I just let her go.
Hey.
You can't take that on, Sabrina.
Let's focus on finding
the guy who did this, okay?
[♪]
Hey, Stu.
- Vince!
- Hey.
Always a pleasure.
Haven't seen you for a while, Gabinski.
Yeah, I've been busy.
Hey, uh, did you work last night?
- No.
- You got any footage we can look at?
Of course.
[VINCE] Thanks.
[♪]
- Oh.
- Got her.
[SHUTTER SNAPS]
[♪]
Do you recognize her?
Sorry, no.
What about her tattoo?
That, yes.
I've done it on a few clients.
Hold on
it's a little faded,
so, it might be around
a year old
got it. Her name's Amy.
- She paid cash.
- Last name?
Sorry.
"Amy at Smithe Accountancy".
We need to talk to her co-workers.
Thank you.
[♪]
Amy Barnes was our receptionist
till a couple of weeks ago.
- Is everything all right?
- Unfortunately not.
Amy was assaulted last night.
Oh, my God. [EXHALES SHAKILY]
- Is she okay?
- She's in the hospital.
They're looking after her.
Is there anything you
can tell us about her?
Anyone who might want to hurt her?
No.
Amy's super-smart, the nicest girl.
People like her.
But she left her job?
Sadly, we had to let her go.
I mean, she was late a lot.
She'd call in sick once
a week, but no one would
The person who attacked
her might still be a threat.
[SIGHS]
She did have a bit of a public blow-up
with our I.T. guy.
They used to chat at
reception all the time,
but I don't think she felt the same way,
and after their spat,
he'd just walk right past.
And when was this?
It was a few weeks ago.
Is this I.T. guy here today?
Jake Cooper? No, he's got the day off.
Where's his desk?
[♪]
We'll need addresses and phone numbers
for Amy and Jake,
and a photo of Jake, if you have one.
Thank you.
Not exactly a Marie Kondo fan.
[♪]
Zak?
Hmm?
[SABRINA] Photos of Amy.
It was a crush that
turned into an obsession?
Thank you.
[♪]
Jake lives on 102 Ave.
Near the bar.
- Let's have the uniforms bring him in.
- On it.
I'll call Nate, to
ask him to fast-track
a warrant for Amy's place.
[GILLIAN] Amy Barnes doesn't
have much of an online presence.
There's no socials or photos.
[SABRINA] We're headed to her place now.
All right, what about the family?
Ah, still working on getting in touch.
I looked into assaults
with a similar M.O.,
but there's not much there.
There's a guy who's been
threatening women with a knife.
No knife wounds on Amy.
Doesn't sound like our guy.
Any word on her condition?
Hospital says that she's in surgery
for a ruptured spleen.
She's got several broken bones,
a concussion. She's, uh
she's not gonna be ready
to talk for a while.
- All right, what about the rape kit?
- There's no sign of sexual assault.
But Amy had a piece of thin, dark glass
embedded in her hand.
Uh, Vince found a broken
sunglass lens next to Amy.
I'll get Forensics to
check the lens for DNA.
There's one more thing
the last ping on Amy's
phone was at 11:21 p.m.,
and I can confirm
that Jake Cooper was the last call
that came in
as well as the seven calls before that.
11:21 p.m.? That's right
when she left the bar.
I wonder what our pal Jake
was doing at 11:21 last night.
Who's this guy?
Jake?
[DOORS OPENING]
Jake Cooper?
- Yeah?
- CFPC.
- We've got a couple of questions.
- [SABRINA] Hey!
[♪]
- [JAKE] Get off me!
- Stay down.
[CUFFS RATCHETING]
We're good.
[SABRINA] What were you
doing at Amy's house?
I was just checking on her.
- "Checking on her"?
- Yeah.
You peered through windows.
It's not like that.
[SABRINA] No? It's not like that?
What is it like, then?
We are friends.
- We're just good friends.
- Mm.
[CLICKS PEN]
When did you last see Amy?
[SIGHING WEARILY]
About three weeks ago.
And where were you last
night, around 11 p.m.?
I was at home.
Is there anyone who can verify that?
No.
[MUFFLED HEATED EXCHANGE IN HALL]
[OFFICER] I know as
much as you do, okay?
[MITCH] He's in there, right?
Look, just let me talk to him!
- One second!
- [ZAK] Mitch?
What's going on, man?
- Is that him?
- Is that who?
Is that him, is that the guy
who tried to kill my girlfriend?
[♪]
Is that the guy who tried
to kill my girlfriend!
[MITCH] I I had no
idea she came to the bar.
And when I didn't hear
from her last night,
I just I figured she went to bed.
[SIGHS]
I should've checked on her.
I should've been with
her, instead of being out.
Hey, man. Hey.
There's no way you could've known.
You don't understand.
Um
She's not well.
What, is she sick?
Depressed.
She gets so bad, she can't function.
Yeah, but this time
you know, it felt different
you know, like she was
worried about something.
Now I'm starting to think
it was it was this guy.
Yeah, her co-worker.
She mentioned him before?
Yeah. Jake.
The I.T. guy.
I mean, he gave her
he gave her way too much attention.
It got It got toxic.
He's the reason she got
fired in the first place.
You know, I offered
to talk to him, but
she just wanted to move on,
you know, leave him behind.
[SIGHS]
How is she? I mean
do we know anything?
Still in surgery.
I-I got to get to the hospital.
Hey, I want to be
there when she wakes up.
I mean, she's gonna need
clothes and a toothbrush.
Mitch, Mitch, hold up, buddy.
- [DOOR OPENS]
- I'll go with him.
What's your take on Jake?
Uh, no alibi. Tried to
run. He's hiding something.
Keep on him.
[♪]
[VINCE] Hey.
Forensics confirmed the
glass found in Amy's palm
matches the sunglass lens
found at the scene. Also
I reached out to Amy's parents.
They're retired, living in Florida.
They're taking the next flight out.
Hard thing to hear.
Yeah. Your daughter beaten
and left for dead in a park?
They're in shock, said she
stopped calling a few months ago.
Did they say why?
No. They thought she seemed down,
and they expressed their concern.
She'd be depressed,
but, I mean, she said it was work.
They pressed for more, she got upset,
it turned into a fight.
- "Work," huh?
- [VINCE] Yeah.
[DOOR OPENS]
I'm gonna ask you again
what were you doing at Amy's house?
What's going on? Is she okay?
No, she's not okay.
She's in the hospital
with serious injuries
from a violent attack.
She's lucky to be alive.
Do you wear prescription sunglasses?
Uh no.
No, but you wear glasses,
you don't wear contacts?
Yes.
Jake, you have no alibi.
You were the last person to call her.
You called her several times.
We found you at her house.
It looks like you either beat her,
and you came back because
you felt remorseful,
or you beat her and you came back
to make sure that she wouldn't talk.
No.
"No"?
She wanted to borrow some money.
She called, last night.
She wanted to know if she
could have three grand in cash.
What did she need the money for?
She wouldn't say.
I don't have that kind of cash,
but I-I was worried about her, so
I went by her place to check on her.
I'm telling you the truth.
All right. Here's some truth.
I have friends who I work with, and
I don't keep pictures
of them in my desk.
I
I had a thing for Amy.
She wasn't into it. Fine.
I got over it.
[EMPHATICALLY] I got over it.
I am the only friend that she has got.
[♪]
Well, she's got nearly
$10,000 in her savings account.
Why ask for the three grand?
Were any of her bank
cards reported stolen?
- No.
- Amy didn't have a purse or a wallet
when we found her.
What if her purse was
stolen before the attack,
- not after?
- She'd need I.D. to withdraw money.
Then why ask for cash,
but not report it stolen?
'Cause she must've needed it urgently.
- But for what?
- Gambling debts? Drugs?
[PHONE BUZZING]
Hello?
All right, thanks. We'll be right there.
Amy's out of surgery.
She's awake.
[DOORS THUDDING SHUT]
[♪]
Wow.
And I thought my place was clean.
Yeah, she's always been
a bit obsessive about everything
being in the right place.
Think it helps with the depression
you know, keep it under control.
[TEXT ALERT CHIMES]
Was Amy having money troubles?
Not that I know of.
I mean, she's been
out of work for a bit.
Wait
She never said she needed money
Hang on. Did this Did
this Jake guy say something?
You know I can't
Yeah. No, I-I get it.
I'm just gonna grab her clothes.
There's a dustpan around here somewhere.
[ZAK] You worry about her clothes.
We'll deal with that later. Come on.
[SHARDS CLINK]
- Thanks, man.
- All right.
[♪]
Amy?
Hi. How are you feeling?
Do you remember me?
From the bar?
My name's Sabrina.
I'm a Detective with the CFPC.
[QUIET, UNSETTLING THEME RISES]
Can you tell me what happened?
I understand that you've
been through a lot.
Maybe you can just tell me
what you needed the money for?
You asked
to borrow $3,000 from Jake?
[♪]
Amy, are you in trouble?
We can help you.
You can't.
Amy, if you just tell me
[SOBS] He'll kill me.
- I just got to grab her jacket.
- Cool.
Uh, hey, is this it?
[MITCH] Uh, yeah, that's it.
Thanks.
Was she going on vacation?
Uh, no, we were gonna
spend the weekend in Tofino.
You know, cheer her up.
That reminds me. I
gotta cancel that hotel.
Hey, uh
what happened?
Oh! [CHUCKLES]
Francie. My sister's cat.
It's a nasty little thing.
I thought your sister
lived in Washington.
Yeah. I mean, she was
visiting last weekend, you know?
Ah. She go to Garibaldi with you?
Your hike.
Yeah, I saw the pics on socials,
but I didn't see your sister in them.
She's not much of a hiker. [CHUCKLES]
Hey, you ready to go?
Yeah. Yeah, I just gotta
use the bathroom first.
I'll be out in a sec.
Yeah. Let's go. I wanna
be there when she's up.
[DOOR OPENS AND SHUTS]
Hey, Gillian, I need you
to check something for me.
Who will kill you?
- Jake?
- No! No. Jake
Jake did nothing wrong.
Then who?
[SIGHING TENSELY]
Amy, you can trust me.
[SOBBING] No, I can't.
[SNIFFLES] You're one of them.
One of who?
A cop.
Uh, so, Meyer leaves the
bar to vape at 11:05
[KEYS CLICKING]
[♪]
And doesn't come back until 11:37.
Enough time to go to the park and back.
He's got sunglasses on
his shirt when he leaves
but not when he gets back.
[SIGHING]
[♪]
The bruises on your stomach
the nurse said that they
were over a week old.
Did he ?
I am not this woman. [SOBS]
I was going to leave him,
but my purse was gone
my wallet, all my I.D.s.
I just knew that he took them, and
So you asked to borrow $3,000 from Jake,
so you could leave?
Yeah, I was desperate.
Jake said wanted to help me,
but he couldn't, so I just
I went looking for Mitch.
I thought, maybe with everyone around,
he c [SIGHS]
[SABRINA] Amy, please.
[SIGHS] Please, just let me help you.
We can protect you, if you
just tell me what he did.
[SIGHING WEAKLY]
Leave me alone.
Amy, if you give a statement,
- we can press charges.
- Go away.
[♪]
[QUIETLY] Okay.
Okay.
You know, my best friend Gillian
used to work at a pub,
and the people there had a
signal for the bartenders,
if they were in trouble,
if they needed help.
[♪]
Just in case you ever need help.
[♪]
[PHONE BUZZES]
[SABRINA] Copy. I'm on my way.
[♪]
Come on, man. Let's go.
[VEHICLES APPROACHING]
What's going on?
[♪]
Mitch Meyer, you're under arrest
for the assault on Amy Barnes.
Seriously?
Man, you know me. I'm your friend.
- Put your hands behind your back.
- Come on!
You have the right to retain
and instruct counsel
- Talk to your partner.
- in private, without delay.
Talk to your partner, man!
- Let's go!
- It wasn't me!
Move!
Zak!
[♪]
[♪]
We have 24 hours to hold Meyer
before we need to get
him in front of a judge.
I don't think I need to tell you
with a case like this,
there's no margin for error.
- Got it.
- Meyer's in interrogation?
We're headed there now.
All right. Keep me up to date.
[♪]
Hey.
I'm okay, if you want
to sit this one out.
I'm fine.
[♪]
[♪]
You guys are wasting your own time here.
I mean, you've already got
the guy who did this to her.
We talked to Amy's nurse.
Some of her bruises
were over a week old.
[SCOFFS]
I would never hurt Amy.
All right, tell me
if I got this right
last night,
you found out that Amy
was gonna leave you.
I told you we were going on a trip.
[LAUGHS]
I was with you last night!
You're missing from the bar's
CCTV footage for 32 minutes,
right around the time of Amy's attack.
- I went out to vape.
- You had sunglasses
hanging from your shirt
when you left the bar
and they were gone
when you returned.
We found a piece of your lens
embedded in Amy's palm.
She grabbed them during
the struggle, didn't she?
L [SCOFFS AND LAUGHS]
I I was right outside the bar.
Ask Jones and Trinh
they were with me.
[SABRINA] We will.
What time was that?
They stopped by after shift.
I mean
we must've talked for 20 minutes.
All right, look.
[DEEP BREATH, SIGH]
I didn't tell you
before
how bad it was
for her privacy
but Amy's depression
it gets serious, sometimes.
She'll hurt herself,
and
she'll make up stories and
she'll even believe them.
[KNOCKING AT DOOR]
[DOOR THUMPS SHUT]
Naomi Perez. Union representative.
Do you have any idea how this looks
treating an officer like a criminal?
- We're investigating a
- Senior officer!
While he's undergoing
a personal tragedy?
There's evidence that
this "senior officer"
beat his girlfriend
within an inch of her life.
If he's innocent, he'll be exonerated.
That's how this works.
I've heard things about you, Sohal.
Yeah, I'm sure you have.
Throwing shade on experienced,
respected members of the service
as a career-building strategy?
He's all yours.
[♪]
Look, without a confession
or concrete evidence,
- you have nothing.
- But the sunglasses
It won't hold up in court.
We're still waiting on DNA.
That can all be explained away
by their romantic relationship.
This is exactly why
women don't report abuse!
I'm just trying to be
realistic here, okay?
Jones and Trinh are
backing up Mitch's alibi.
[INAUDIBLE CONVERSATION]
- They're lying.
- It's three officers' word
against very little evidence.
These cases are difficult
in ordinary circumstances,
but with an officer?
I mean, even if Amy
makes a statement [SIGHS]
it's still gonna be
her word against his.
- You need more.
- Then we'll find more!
S Sabrina. Just
[♪]
Vince?
[♪]
Hey, Vince?
[SCOFFS]
What are you doing?
My job.
Oh, come on.
Come on, this is Mitch
Meyer we're talking about.
You remember how he saved
that kid's life in Whalley?
You really think that this is him?
That was a long time ago, Gabby.
People are capable of
more than you think.
[♪]
So no posts with
previous girlfriends,
and no police reports naming Meyer.
[ZAK] We got less than 24 hours
to find something or
this prick walks free.
Well, if these women did call the cops,
they may not have gotten very far.
Detachment is filled with
Meyer's shithead friends.
[PHONE CHIMES]
I didn't mean
Maybe they filed a
complaint with the C.I.U.?
[KEYS CLICKING]
[POINTEDLY] Ma'am if you want
to file an official civilian complaint,
you're going to have to go
through the proper channels.
- Ishaan
- You know I can't share anything confidential.
- Yeah, I know.
- I can't tell you about
any closed case files
Ishaan, I get it.
[QUIETLY] from 2016.
[♪]
Check Mitch's posts from 2016.
There was a C.I.U.
complaint filed against him
- that year.
- By who?
They can't share details, but
I'm hoping we can find out.
I've gone back ten years,
and there's no photos of
women in any of his posts
just sports bros.
Wait. Go back to that last one.
Can you zoom in?
[♪]
That's Jaya Sharma!
She used to be on Vice Squad.
She quit, like, 10 years ago.
- Why?
- I don't know! She was a great officer.
She was quiet, she kept to herself.
Any rumours about her and Mitch?
No, not that I remember.
There's no sign of Mitch on her socials.
Uh, check her tagged photos.
Sometimes, people delete
their ex from their feeds,
but they forget about the tags.
And there it is.
I had no idea.
Do we know where she is now?
Uh, looks like she works at
Guildford Community Centre.
Take Vince.
She might respond better
to a familiar face.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
Jaya?
Hey. Vince Brambilla.
It's been a while.
This is Detective Sabrina Sohal.
We're working on a case,
hoping you might be able to help us.
Uh I left that world a long time ago.
It's about Mitch Meyer.
There's a woman in the hospital.
She's fighting for her life.
You know, I don't have time for this.
Jaya, we have to stop
Stay away from me.
Jaya, we're sorry. We don't
want to cause you any more pain
than you've already been through.
If you want us to leave, we'll leave.
We're just asking for a
few minutes of your time,
on your terms.
Please?
[SIGHING SOFTLY]
Mitch Meyer was the
worst mistake I ever made.
It started with verbal insults.
Everything was my fault.
Then he started monitoring
my phone, my emails
cutting me off from friends and family.
And then he started hitting me.
Never my face, though.
He knew what he was doing.
And when he was done
he would beg for forgiveness.
I went to a shelter
and he found me there.
I opened a separate bank account,
and he knew about it.
I called the cops
and his buddies showed up
guys who I thought were my friends, too.
[♪]
What happened?
They told me to keep my mouth shut.
That's what cops do, right?
[♪]
"Protect our own."
Unless you step out
of line like I did.
I'm so sorry, Jaya.
Everybody loved Mitch.
They probably still do, right?
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
No one wants to think
of him as a bad guy.
I mean, I didn't.
I probably would still be with him
if my sister hadn't gotten involved.
She's the one who told me
that I should file a report.
With C.I.U.?
With Vice.
But my supervisor he
didn't want to pursue it.
He said
"Do you really want to
ruin a good man's life?"
[VINCE EXHALES, SEETHING]
So that's when I went to C.I.U.,
and then the guys in
my department found out,
and they made my life hell.
Is that why you quit?
It took me about a year, but
I found a support group
other women who had been
through the same things as me,
women who just understood
how hard it is to leave.
[EXHALING HEAVILY]
I'm sorry
that happened to you.
I'm sorry that your
fellow officers failed you.
I wish I had known what was
going on back then, I wish
I wish I could've helped.
[DEEP BREATH, HEAVY SIGH]
But now, there's a a woman
who's going through what
you've been through
and we have a chance to help her,
but we
we can't
we can't do it without you.
I-I can't, I can't go to that building,
and I can't sit in an interview
room with a so-called cop
and tell them what he did to me.
I can't. I can't.
Yeah.
Jaya, what if it wasn't
a cop that you talked to?
[♪]
[♪]
Vince?
Hey.
Uh, C.I.U. will take it from here.
Jaya will make a statement?
Yeah, and testify in court, if needed.
You know, we could pursue
charges on her behalf.
Yeah, but with how
much time has passed
And the lack of evidence.
The chance of a conviction
is basically non-existent.
All right, so, our best-case scenario,
is that we use Jaya's
testimony to back up Amy's,
and show a pattern of abuse.
- [VINCE] If Amy'll talk.
- We're running out of time.
I'll see if I can reach her.
Hey.
You good?
When I was starting out,
there was this woman, Nadia.
Busted lip. Eye swollen shut.
She asked us not to press charges,
I did it anyway.
Okay. Okay.
So you didn't stand by, you helped her.
Lawyer got him off.
She went back to him, he killed her,
and he got off that too.
She told me it wouldn't work.
I didn't listen. She knew
something that I didn't.
And I would just ask
these women why "Why?"
"Why are you protecting this guy?"
"Why don't you just leave?"
[VINCE'S BREATH CATCHES]
Not once did I ever
ask the guy, "Why "
[CHOKES UP] Why
why'd you do it.
[ZAK, LOUDLY] The guy almost killed her!
What do you mean,
they're letting him off?
[LOUDER] How are they letting him out?
He's gonna kill her.
- This is bullshit!
- I need you to calm down, Kalaini.
- What happened?
- Meyer's lawyer got involved,
along with the union. He's been
released on a promise-to-appear.
Amy's still in the hospital.
We need to get there before he does.
[♪]
[SABRINA] She's gone.
We just missed them.
Uniforms stationed at the hospital said
that Amy left with Mitch.
- They didn't try to stop her?
- [ZAK] She checked herself out,
insisted on leaving.
They had no legal grounds to hold her.
Then there's nothing you can do.
Sir, I know that Mitch is legally free,
but he's dangerous,
and Amy's life could be at stake.
Do you have proof of a
current threat to life?
- [SABRINA] No, but
- Sir, we are this close to
making a case against him.
I don't know where he's taking Amy,
but you give him enough time alone
he might not kill her,
but he'll scare her so bad,
she won't even think
of making a statement.
Yeah, and without a statement,
our case falls apart,
and Mitch walks again.
All right, Grove, track his phone.
I'm on it.
Hey.
Mitch's phone was switched
off ten minutes ago,
by 152nd and Highway 10.
I've got guys parked outside
of Amy's and Mitch's houses,
but no sign of 'em.
They could be headed
to Abbotsford Airport.
[GILL] Checking for flights.
[♪]
I have your makeup bag.
[♪]
Nothing. If they're skipping town,
they're doing it by road.
I am pulling up traffic cams.
If they're on the highway,
we'll never catch up.
What if he's not leaving town?
He knows that she's terrified of him,
and that she won't talk,
and without her, we've got nothing.
[VINCE] He's not on the run.
Business as usual.
- Where would he take her?
- He took me
to a diner a few times it
was in the middle of nowhere.
Hold on! There's his car.
On King George, headed north.
That's the place! That's
the diner. Brownsville.
[GILLIAN] That's close
to Mitch's last-known location.
Okay, go!
[SIREN WAILING]
[MITCH] Mac and cheese.
Hey, you know, we
could get it packed up.
I can call her back, and
maybe we can get some
pie to take home, too?
No.
You know, I'm just, uh,
I'm trying to do something
nice here for you.
Okay.
Okay.
[DOOR ENTRY BELLS JINGLE]
[MITCH] I hope you guys
have an update on the case.
Are you okay?
[MITCH] Yeah. She's better now.
[♪]
[MITCH] Aren't you, honey?
She was just
telling me how horrible it was
when that monster
attacked her in the park.
[BOLTON] If Amy doesn't want your help,
there isn't much you can do.
Hey, Amy. You look tired.
You know, you would get
better rest at the hospital,
where they can look after you properly.
I can take care of her just fine.
We should get going,
'cause we have a long
drive ahead of us, huh?
Let me help you up.
Come here.
There you go.
There you go. Easy does it.
Hey, Amy. Do you have
to use the washroom?
No. I'm okay.
[♪]
[MITCH] There you go.
Oh, hey
let me know when you find that guy, huh?
[♪]
This way.
That's it.
Hey, let me get the door for you, okay?
[DOOR OPENS]
See that hand signal?
I taught it to her.
It means that she needs help.
If we can get her away
from him, she will testify,
I'm almost sure of it.
A hand signal isn't
enough to arrest him.
[♪]
[LOUDLY] Hey!
Hey, Meyer!
Just, uh, get in the truck. Okay?
You want to lower your voice?
You're making a scene.
Oh, what? You don't like
the way people are looking at you?
[♪]
Wondering if you were the one
who put those bruises on her?
[♪]
How you could possibly
live with yourself,
or show your face in public
after what you've done?
[♪]
What are you ?
You're upsetting her, man. Stop it.
[ZAK] I know you beat her.
And you beat your girlfriend before Amy.
And probably the one before her, too.
[SHOUTS] Everyone at this pub knows!
And your friends at the detachment
- [SLAMS DOOR]
- they'll know, too.
I'll make sure of it.
They forget? I'll remind them.
And, eventually, you'll crack,
and show them who you really are.
[CHUCKLES BITTERLY]
Oh, yeah?
You think you know me?
Who am I, Kalaini?
A pathetic little boy
hiding behind his badge.
An insecure piece-of-shit
who gets off on beating women.
A weak
spineless
nothing.
[♪]
- [GRUNT]
- [THUD]
[MITCH GROANING] Ah!
Mitch Meyer you're under arrest
for assaulting an officer.
[CUFFS RATCHET]
[MITCH] Ask Amy!
She'll tell you, I didn't do anything.
Amy! Tell them.
Ask her!
Amy, tell them.
Amy
[♪]
[ROARS] Tell them, Amy!
[DISTANT SIRENS WAILING]
[♪]
So you were with Jones
and Meyer last night?
What time was that?
Uh, got there about 10 after 11,
and we were with him till 11:30.
Right.
So what were you doing there?
We talked, you know, had a smoke.
That's funny. I thought you quit.
Yeah, yeah, but, you know,
after a couple drinks
Oh, sure. After a
couple drinks, why not?
But you drove there?
Yeah, but, uh, I didn't drive home.
I left the car there.
Right.
Where-Where'd you get the cigarette?
Uh, bummed one off of Meyer.
Oh, that's funny, 'cause I
thought Mitch only vapes.
Tch. Uh
heh-heh.
I guess I had more than
a couple drinks, yeah.
I remember now. I, uh
bought the pack from the
store, across the street.
Across the street?
Yeah.
So if I go over there and
pull the store's CCTV,
I'm gonna see you on it?
[♪]
Lying to your Watch
Commander to cover a crime
it's not a
it's not a good look for you, Trinh.
Especially since Jones
already came clean.
You really want to put your
job on the line for Mitch Meyer?
Hmm?
[CLICKS PEN]
[♪]
[RELIEVED SIGH]
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATION]
[♪]
Hey.
How long have you been out here?
[SIGHING] A while.
I keep wanting to go
in there and apologize.
Zak? For what?
I'm a detective, Sabrina.
I'm supposed to be a good detective
and the whole time I knew Mitch,
he was
[♪]
Zak, I mean, you saw
the good parts of Mitch
because that's what he showed you,
and you believed him,
because you were his friend.
But, at the end of the day,
you protected Amy, because
you're a good cop
and you have more integrity
than anyone I know.
[♪]
How'd it go in there?
[SABRINA] Uh, Amy and Jaya
both gave their statements
and the plan is to testify in court.
And now that Mitch has no
alibi during the attack,
Nate thinks that the prosecution's
got a fighting chance
and Jaya's going to introduce Amy
to her support group.
It's not perfect, but for now
these two women are safe.
[♪]
Hey. How about we grab a drink?
Yeah.
Uh, I'll be right back.
Hey. You ready to go?
Rain check?
Zak really needs a friend tonight.
Yeah. Yeah, of course.
I'll see you later.
[♪]
I'm buying.
Deal.
[♪]
[DOOR LOCK BUZZES OPEN]
Pick it up.
What happened?
[WILL CHUCKLES]
Was this because of me?
It's not always about you.
Who did this?
Oh, haven't you heard?
There's a war on
and this is what happens
when nations go to war.
You're still hanging out
with those pieces of
Yeah. I stand with my nation.
We look out for each other.
You started the fight?
Will
you know it's just gonna
keep on escalating in there,
and there is nowhere to hide.
I don't plan to hide.
Not in front of me.
You have an appeal coming up,
and you are going to
get yourself killed.
[♪]
Well, then get me outta here.
[♪]
[DOOR BUZZES]
Wait!
[♪]
[VOICE CRACKS] Just
get me out of here, Dad.
I will.
I promise you.
[♪]
[RECEIVER HITS CRADLE]
[♪]
[DOOR BANGS SHUT]
[SABRINA] It feels weird,
going to the usual place.
Yeah, I know what you mean.
Meet you at Lorrigan's?
See you there.
