NCIS: Sydney (2023) s03e12 Episode Script

1
[UNSETTLING MUSIC]
[RORY] IED in the living room.
Stuff everywhere.
It'd be a punish for a bot.
State cops snapped this
before they worked out it's
Commonwealth land and called us.
Looks self-contained.
Go earn your keep.
[MARCO] Let's have some fun.
Maybe I'll move my
mother-in-law in here.
[PAULA] With or without the IED?
[MARCO] Either way.
All right, get it done, guys.
In and out.
[PAULA] Jackpot.
Got the det.
Boss, we right to clear this?
You sure that's it?
Yeah, there's nothing else
that can hurt us.
All right, clear it.
[WIRING CRACKLES]
[RORY] What's happening?
Just a fried circuit.
- Damn, almost soiled the suit.
- Again?
[LAUGHS]
- [MARCO] We're good.
- [RORY] Copy that.
Sending in the closers.
Get the debrief done
and that's lunch on me.
Get a wriggle on. Might still
make the Macca's breakfast menu.
[SIGHS]
Missed out on all the fun.
As usual.
[SMOKE ALARM BEEPS]
[WHINES]
Someone kill that thing, would ya?
- What the hell's that?
- Just an old fire alarm, skip.
We're good.
[ALARM BEEPS]
[HIGH-PITCHED SOUND]
What the
Nice one, Paula. Made it worse.
[BARKS]
Hey, knock it off, you lot!
You guys okay?
[EXPLOSIONS]
[GRUNTS]
[HIGH-PITCHED RINGING]
[PANTS]
[THEME MUSIC]
[PLAYFUL MUSIC]
[TRIGGER] All right.
Ta-da!
[DESHAWN SIGHS]
[DOOR CLOSES]
How about we, uh, up the stakes?
[JD LAUGHS]
Seriously, mate? Three-card monte?
You know he's hustling you, right?
Please! Do y'all know
who you're dealing with?
- A sap?
- [JD] A schmuck?
A sucker?
[DESHAWN] A man that sees
what others don't.
It's what makes me a good cop.
[EVIE] It makes you delusional.
Oh, yeah? Well, how about you
open your eyes, Evie Wonder?
Check out the card on the right.
Notice anything unique about it?
Corner's bent.
- [DESHAWN] It's the ace.
- Mmm.
Now, light 'em up, T-Dog.
Show Papa D [CLICKS FINGERS]
..that ace.
[EVIE] Mm-hm.
- [JD] Oh!
- Oh, look, D!
- It's your spirit animal.
- [TRIGGER LAUGHS]
But the corner!
Is deliberately bent.
Tricks you into thinking
you've out-hustled the hustler.
Specifically designed
for people who think
they're the smartest in the room.
[EVIE] Oh, snap!
- [JD] Ouch.
- Double or nothing?
Oh, I meant to ask, how'd
the post-break-in audit go?
Ah, the fly-away team from Singapore
concluded that nothing had been stolen.
- Okay.
- And our systems don't seem
to be compromised.
Although, Blue is being Blue.
All right, do you want me
to put out a BOLO
for two sad-looking blokes
in balaclavas?
I mean, after all that,
they left empty-handed, right?
About that.
[PHONE CHIMES]
- [GRABS PHONE]
- [SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
[PRESSES BUTTONS]
[PHONE BUZZES]
[PEOPLE CALL OUT]
- What the hell happened?
- Mate, they said it was clear.
They're all gone.
What do you mean?
Send me the address.
[PHONE RECEIVER CLACKS]
What's going on?
It's your old team, mate.
How many dead?
All of them.
I'll get my kit.
That's as far as we know at this stage.
Um, we'll go through
the appropriate channels
[CAR DOORS SHUT]
[JD] Where we at?
Uh, structure's clear.
The DVI team's located all the bodies.
Uh, Rory, sorry to meet you
under these circumstances.
Michelle Mackey, NCIS.
Here to help any way we can.
What do we know?
[RORY] Earlier this morning,
local cops received an anonymous tip
about a bomb on the property.
We rolled in, disarmed it,
then the team went in for debrief.
You sent a team in before it was clear?
What was the second device?
We don't know yet,
but moments before it blew,
the dogs reacted to something.
- Reacted to what?
- It was a high-pitched sound.
Seconds before detonation.
Mind if I take a look?
We're at your disposal, mate.
Anything you need.
How about a one-way trip to Uluwatu?
[CAMERA CLICKS]
[DOC ROY GRUNTS]
Oh, about time. I asked for
an assistant an hour ago.
Oh, I think you've got me
mixed up with someone else.
Why? Who are you?
[CLEARS THROAT] I am
NCIS Forensic Pathologist
Dr Royce Penrose.
Oh, and I'm sure your
mother's very proud.
You search for limbs.
I'll deal with the intact bodies.
Just try not to stomp
all over them, yeah?
[CLEARS THROAT]
Marco was my number two
before I was benched.
He just had a second kid.
Need a moment?
Won't bring him back.
I'll, uh, leave you to it.
How is any of this still standing?
The blast was mostly shrapnel.
Take a look at the bolts
and screws in the wall.
The bomber didn't want
to destroy property,
he wanted to take lives.
[JD] So why target
an abandoned building?
Hmm? Who you gonna kill,
vagrants and vandals?
Sure, until someone
makes an anonymous call.
And then you get a room
full of bomb techs.
[JD] So first device lures them in,
second takes them out.
Yeah, with five-inch bolts
traveling 3,000 feet per second.
The bomber glued them
to the back of the ply
and then sealed the fireplace with it.
That was the second device?
The blast seat, yeah. The bomber
rigged it as a shaped charge.
Enhance the explosion.
Concentrate the blast
towards his victims.
Bomber knew what he was doing.
[METAL PLATE CLANGS]
[METAL PLATE SCRAPES]
Is that a QR code?
[TRIGGER] This is just the start.
[RORY] Strike force name is Lone Wolf.
You'll be operating with
full counterterrorism powers.
Now, I want you to
take a look at something.
That is the bomber
trying to get inside our heads.
With every tick of that clock,
he's trying to rattle us
and make us slip up.
But that is not gonna happen.
And do you know why?
Because we are gonna
put all our focus here.
We're gonna think about them,
about their families,
their loved ones, their kids,
and what kind of hell
they're going through right now.
And then we are gonna go out
and nail this bastard to the wall.
Now, go.
Sign-off came through from Canberra.
NCIS will augment the AFP strike force.
What do you need?
Start with a list of potential targets.
Focus on public events
within our four-hour window.
That's not what he's after.
You want mass casualties,
you don't leave a bomb
in an abandoned house.
You don't leave a countdown.
What is he after, then?
[TRIGGER] Take a look.
It's all a big game to him.
We're playing right into his hands.
I'll be sure to pass that on
to the replacement team
en route from Melbourne.
- Let me brief them.
- Trigger.
I've been there. I've done it before.
I can work with them.
[RORY] They're a stand-alone unit.
They'll be fine on their own.
He's a bomb tech.
One of the best.
Your words, not mine.
Yeah, that's why I need him here.
Sift through bomb componentry.
Find this guy's signature.
Get me an ID.
Got it.
[JD] You sent Trigger my way, mate.
Said he needed help.
That was enough for me.
I didn't ask any questions,
but I'm asking now.
You know I brought Trigger
with me from the state cops.
Yeah, pulled him into the bomb
squad. So what's the issue?
There was an incident.
The kind that gets you
sent to the sixth floor
for a psych eval.
[JD] What happened?
There were concerns that he may have
a suboptimal self-preservation reflex.
The hell does that mean?
It's shrink speak for 'death wish'.
You don't put people like that
around things that go boom.
[PHONE BUZZES]
Yes, Commissioner.
[BLUE ON PHONE]
So AFP have provided us with
a live feed of the strike force,
which grants us access to
all AFP leads in real time,
including this.
[MESSAGE WHOOSHES]
Analysis of the explosive residue.
Ammonium nitrate and diesel.
- ANFO.
- Correct.
Trouble is diesel isn't traceable,
and the ammonium nitrate doesn't match
to any commercially available
product, which means
It's homemade. Our bomber
has a chemistry degree.
But you've still gotta
get your hands on it.
It's easier to get tickets
to the MCG on grand final day
than a pallet of ammonium nitrate.
So where'd he get it?
There was a theft from a Sydney
chemical company two weeks ago.
How much was taken?
150 kilograms.
Trigger reckons the amount used
in the house explosion
was about five to ten kilos, max.
So there's 140 kilos still out there?
Enough to crater the Sydney Opera House.
It says here the burglar
used two small charges
to break into the warehouse.
The first knocked out power,
including CCTV.
And the second was used to gain
access to the storage area.
No, that can't be right.
Bombing the security panel
would only disable the system.
It wouldn't open the door.
Blue, liaise with AFP.
See if you can get access to
the warehouse security server.
And find out how they
really got in. On it.
- [TROUBLED MUSIC]
- [PUTS PHONE DOWN]
[EVIE] Hey.
What you looking for?
Det cords, componentry.
Some bomb makers leave a signature.
[EVIE] Can we help?
Sure.
Go study bomb making
for a couple of years
and then report back.
Trigger.
Give us another job.
Only way you're getting rid of us.
- Yeah, I'm starting to see that.
- Mmm.
Forensics pulled this from the wall.
A camera?
You think our bomber was watching?
Probably how he knew when to detonate.
That, and he gets to see
his handiwork in action.
Which means he was running a feed.
Well, maybe we can find out
where it was transmitted to.
Track the feed, find the bomber.
Guess you found something to do, then.
[TAPE RECORDER] When I hear
the rain a-comin' down ♪
[DOC ROY HUMS ALONG]
It makes me ♪
[NIA SINGS ALONG] Sad and blue ♪
Was on a rainy night like this ♪
Do you mind not doing that?
[LAUGHS] Why?
You think you're the only
Marty Robbins fan around here?
It's not your fandom I'm objecting to.
It's the backing vocals.
What, you don't like my singing?
Oh, is that what it was?
[LAUGHS] Oh, God!
A real charmer, you are.
I thought a cat was being tortured.
Funny, because you seem more
the animal-harming type.
Oh, I'm great with animals.
Evidently better than people.
- Filled with fear ♪
- Oh.
The only sound within the room ♪
Is the falling of each tear ♪
- [MUSIC STOPS]
- Oh, come on, really?
Marty is a solo act.
Fine.
Fine.
They'll bury Flo tomorrow, but ♪
They're hanging me tonight ♪
They're hanging me tonight ♪
Tonight cannot come soon enough.
- [SIGHS] Oh, God.
- [DOOR OPENS]
- Oh.
- [DOOR CLOSES]
Good taste finally prevailed, did it?
[DOC ROY] Hello, mate.
I'm collecting any foreign
bodies removed from the victims.
Here we go.
Uh, nuts and bolts, mostly,
but, uh, I've found
some circuitry and wiring.
[TENSE MUSIC]
[EVIE] I remember this.
Car bombing on Mitchell Street, right?
Yeah.
Two years ago.
Detonator relied on
a sub-auditory frequency
triggered by that.
And now Doc found this.
[EVIE] Same mode of detonation.
Are you saying the bombings are linked?
I'm saying it's the same bomber.
We need to tell the others.
What?
How come you already had this file?
Uh, I was a part of
the original investigation.
In what capacity?
One of the victims was my fiancée.
[WOMAN] I just got to the bus stop now.
I slept through my alarm.
Uh, not really.
I haven't thought that far ahead.
Okay, sure.
I didn't know that you could cook that.
Actually, I didn't know that
you could cook at all.
I'm joking. I am joking, of course.
Coffee counts.
If you've made it, Trav,
then I'm gonna love it.
- [DOG BARKS]
- [STRANGE HIGH-PITCHED WHINE]
Or I am gonna order takeaway.
Uh, I gotta go, babe. Yes.
- [DOG CONTINUES BARKING]
- Yes. Okay, I love you.
We'll go over our vows tonight.
Okay. Okay, I love you.
I love you. 'Bye.
[DOG BARKS]
Hey, little guy.
What's got you all riled up?
[BARKS]
[DARK MUSIC]
Two years ago next month.
Um, four wounded and three dead.
Uh, bomber used
the same ANFO mix as today.
The devices used in both
bombings were detonated
via a sub-audible frequency.
Um, it's picked up by
a receiver, which then
detonates the explosives.
Why the extra degree of difficulty?
It's his calling card.
He wants us to know it's him.
Who was the original target?
There was an Islamic school nearby.
Um, it was damaged,
but no one claimed it.
How does that connect to
an attack on five bomb techs?
It doesn't.
Trigger.
Got a minute?
[PUTS TABLET DOWN]
Is this where you tell me
that I'm too close to the case?
That's not really how I roll.
But I am asking if you're okay.
No, I'm not.
Good.
Good?
I'd be worried if you were.
So now the welfare check's
out of the way,
what's our next move, soldier?
[CHUCKLES]
Well, there's a guy, Kyle Hadden.
He lived across the street
from the bus stop.
Shrapnel from the blast
severed his spinal cord.
He spent months in a coma.
So he saw the bomber?
Fleetingly.
Uh, his recollection
was scrambled by the bomb.
He gets images, but they're fuzzy.
Are you still in contact?
Yeah, I swing by from time
to time, make sure he's okay.
Swing by today.
Far as we know, he's the only person
who's ever seen the bomber,
which makes him our best lead.
Take Evie with you.
[EVIE] Got you something.
It's warm.
I read somewhere
you're supposed to offer food
when someone needs consoling.
So you got me a Danger Bar?
It's DeShawn's.
He won't miss it.
[HANDBRAKE ENGAGES]
Not looking too dangerous.
[EVIE UNCLICKS SEATBEL
AND CLEARS THROAT]
We good?
Is Is that where
We're good.
[SEATBELT UNCLICKS]
[DOOR OPENS]
[KYLE] Oh, it's good to see you, bro.
[TRIGGER] Yeah, you're looking
good, mate. How's rehab?
[KYLE] Oh, you know.
Took some steps the other day
without using a rail.
[TRIGGER CHUCKLES] There you go.
Killing it.
[KYLE] Still, I guess you're
not here to discuss rehab.
Who's this?
- This is Evie. She's a friend
- [EVIE] Colleague.
I'm a constable with the AFP.
Evie Cooper.
Um, there was another bombing, Kyle.
I saw it on the news.
Do you think it's the same guy?
Yeah, it could be.
[TRIGGER] Last time I dropped by,
you said you were
getting bits of memory back.
Just flashes.
Like what?
I don't know.
Like the bodies.
And the smell.
Look, I know it's tough, mate.
But I'm gonna need you
to dig deep here, okay?
Is there anything else you can remember?
Even the smallest detail.
Travis mentioned that
you saw the bomber.
Not really.
I was riding home on my bike,
about to head inside,
when I see this dude
parked in the bus zone.
Parking the car that blew up?
I remember thinking
he was gonna get a ticket.
The parking cops were out
and he was gonna get done.
You saw his face?
[KYLE] Barely.
A few seconds later,
everything went white.
I woke up in a hospital bed.
Take us back to those
few seconds beforehand.
Maybe close your eyes.
How tall is he?
Is he similar to you?
Yeah, I guess.
[EVIE] How about his build?
Short, medium, stocky?
Kinda normal.
[TRIGGER] What about his hair?
Kyle, think.
- I'm trying.
- Trigger
You said that you could see him.
It changes. I don't know if it's
my mind playing tricks or
I'm sorry, Trav.
Honestly, man, I'm so sorry.
Hey, can you just
Look, he wants to help.
He can't think clearly with you here.
So in the nicest possible way,
take a hike, bud.
Ouch.
Uh, look, mate, I'm sorry.
It's just, uh
- Charlotte.
- [TRIGGER MOVES CHAIR]
I get it.
Well, I'm gonna head out,
but Evie's gonna stay and
ask a few more questions.
[EVIE SIGHS]
[DOOR OPENS]
My nan reckons you should never have
a hard conversation
without a cup of tea.
[DOOR CLOSES]
Then we can work through this together.
I don't know if I'm gonna be much help.
No, that's okay.
But we do this in your own time.
There's no rush.
[SIGHS]
[CLOCK TICKS]
[CHURCH BELL TOLLS]
[SIGHS]
Told you it was too gloomy
in here for a wedding.
What, barefoot on the beach
would have been better?
No, you're right,
why settle for sun and sand
when you can have bad lighting
and religious guilt?
You said yes, remember?
Because you asked.
Yeah, it didn't help
when I wanted that Harley.
Because I prefer you with
all of your limbs intact.
It meant so much to you to get married
where all of your cop buddies did.
I would have been married
by Elvis in a casino
if it meant I could spend
the rest of my life with you.
Hate to break it to you, Trav,
but Elvis has left the building.
[DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES]
Hey, what's with
the "one-way trip to Uluwatu"?
Is that some kind of bro code?
No, it started maybe 20 years
ago on a surf trip to Indo.
I'd just finished my first year
of teaching and Rory was
a wet-behind-the-ears
probationary constable.
The tour boat dropped us
at a reef break off Uluwatu.
[SIGHS]
It was just me and Rory and
the most incredible right-hander
you've ever seen in your life.
And we just surfed that all morning.
By the early arvo, we were cooked.
So we just waited for
the boat to return.
Except it never did.
So, what did you do?
We just hang on our boards
and hope the boat returns or
Or try and paddle back.
Yeah, we were just dumb kids, you know?
[DESHAWN] Yo. Take a look.
So I had Blue run a trace on
the keyhole cam that
we found at the blast site.
Linked to an IP address in a phone
from a car parked a block away
from the crime scene.
- Can we trace the phone?
- No.
It was only on for
a total of 15 minutes.
- But we can trace this.
- [PRESSES KEY]
Grey Commodore, license plate JYS92X8.
Registered to an Alana Connell.
- Address?
- Registration links it to
a public housing block in Waterloo.
[DARK MUSIC]
[CLOCK TICKS]
[TIRES SQUEAL]
[CAR DOOR CLOSES]
- [JD] You good?
- Yeah, yeah.
Just a little déjà vu.
Bring the big key.
[OFFICER] Clear!
[OFFICER 2] Clear!
Oh!
Take a photo, it lasts longer.
Perve!
Do you own a Grey Commodore?
Oh! I wish.
[LAUGHS] 5-liter.
V8, mind you, not your gutless 6.
- What type of car do you own?
- I don't.
No, I lost my license years ago.
No one told me codeine and
whiskey don't mix. [CHUCKLES]
Something tells me she's not our guy.
You think?
But the bomber sent us here. Why?
Anyway, I was wondering
when you blokes would turn up.
What are you talking about?
Package delivered earlier today.
No return address.
Oh, there was a note.
- What note?
- Yeah. Here.
[OFFICER] A negative for metal
and chemical traces.
No way this little guy's gonna blow.
As we expected, car rego was faked.
The bomber must have hacked
his way into the transport authority.
To send us here. Big Ears
must be some kind of message.
- [JD] So, what's the message?
- Your guess is as good as mine.
[MACKEY] This apartment must
mean something to the bomber
or he wouldn't have
gone to all this trouble.
Must have meant something
to you too, mate.
What was that 'déjà vu' all about?
- [PHONE BUZZES]
- What are they ever about?
[PHONE BUZZES]
- [PHONE CLICKS]
- Yes, ma'am.
Uh, yeah, it appears
the bomber is messing with us.
It's He's sending messages
[VOICE FADES]
Wanna talk about
the elephant in the room?
Which one?
The one Rory's riding
while he holds out on us.
[PHONE CLICKS]
[DESHAWN] Hey, Sarge.
D, I need a deep dive into
all past tenants at our current address.
You got it.
Look, I don't want you to
worry about the bomber, yeah?
I just want to talk about
the day itself.
[CUP THUDS ON TABLE]
Like, what was the weather that day?
I don't know. I can't remember.
Okay.
Is there anything you do remember?
[CUP THUDS ON TABLE]
Seagulls. Huh!
Remember they were fighting
over a piece of soggy bread.
Just going crazy.
[CHUCKLES] Forgotten that
till this moment!
Mmm, it's funny what comes back
when you don't push it.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
I can see why Travis likes you.
What makes you say that?
Know how hard he took the loss
of his fiancée, Charlotte.
I'm glad he's finally moving on.
What, with me? [SCOFFS]
Oh, that car bomb really
messed you up, didn't it?
Sorry, I do that. I
I didn't mean to offend you.
No. No, I just had one of my flashes.
Of the bomber?
I can see his face.
[PHONE BUZZES]
- Evie?
- [EVIE] Blue.
I'm with Kyle.
I need you to run an e-fit.
Okay. Um
I can, um
I can stream it to your tablet.
I'm gonna give you this.
Hello?
Hello. It's Kyle, isn't it?
Uh, my name's Blue.
I'm gonna try and help you by
getting a sketch of
the guy that you saw.
[TABLET CHIMES]
Okay, Kyle.
- Shoot me.
- Oh.
[DESHAWN] Yeah, that's right.
12/24 Hill Street, Waterloo.
Sure, I'll hold.
What are you doing?
Bomber sent the team
to a random apartment.
JD wants me to chase up
the past tenants.
The man you want is Jason Wright.
How do you know?
Because that's the apartment
where I shot him.
Before AFP, I was with the state cops
as part of tactical response.
Uh, my first warrant drop
was 10 years ago.
An armed robber named Jason Wright.
Wright was wanted for
shooting and killing a cop
during a bank job.
Intel said he was armed.
[MACKEY] That's the same
apartment the bomber sent us to.
Wright was on the couch.
Um, he reached for a gun.
I fired two shots and he died instantly.
Rory was your team leader, right?
Yeah.
Why keep that to himself?
I don't know. Ask him.
We did everything by the book.
The bomber left a toy elephant
at the site of the shooting.
With a note.
Said we were "getting warmer".
Does that mean anything to you?
Wright had a son.
Um, he was there in the
apartment when his dad got shot.
The poor kid had to walk past
a dead body on his way out.
Timothy James Wright.
Mother Lucy Wright died
when he was eight years old.
Drug overdose.
After his dad's death, it said
Tim became a ward of the state.
- Where is he now?
- Nothing on file.
Looks like he slipped off the radar.
That's because he's our bomber.
[KYLE] His face was kind of less round.
Sort of more narrow.
[BLUE] More narrow.
Okey-dokey.
Hairline was further back.
[PRESSES KEYS]
I'm sorry, I don't know
if I'm being much help.
No, you're doing great.
So, what happens now?
So I'll run generative AI
and that will take what you've given me
and give us a more lifelike composite.
- I need a minute.
- Yeah, of course.
[SIGHS]
Blue, how long?
Two shakes of a ram's quail.
[DARK MUSIC]
Okay, here we go.
That is our bomber.
It's uncanny, isn't it?
- [ELECTRICITY CRACKLES]
- [EVIE DROPS]
[BLUE] Evie?
Evie!
[KYLE] Evie can't come
to the phone right now.
[JD] Evie?
- Evie!
- [MACKEY] Evie?
- [JD] Clear!
- [TRIGGER] Clear.
[MACKEY] Clear!
It's Evie's.
- Where would Kyle be taking her?
- Why take her at all?
I don't get it.
Was Kyle faking it this whole time?
No, I was there at the
aftermath of the car bomb.
I saw his wounds.
So he was injured by his own bomb?
Yeah, because he likes to watch.
You know, maybe he got too close.
He hid his recovery from me.
[PHONE BUZZES]
Déjà vu. Are you kidding me?
What? What are you talking about?
The apartment! Jason Wright.
His son, huh?
Look, I
I thought it was a coincidence.
Oh, coincidence, my arse, mate!
You've been withholding this whole time!
We could have had Kyle hours ago.
Now he has Evie and that's on you!
[PHONE BUZZES]
Go for Trigger.
[KYLE] Hello, Travis.
Evie says hi.
I swear to God, you lay a hand on her
I know. I know.
You won't rest until you've run me down.
Right now, Evie's welfare
depends entirely on
what you do next, so
listen carefully.
[CLOCK TICKS]
[RORY] All right, Kyle Hadden
first comes on the grid
with a driver's license four years ago.
Before that, nothing.
Okay, so he changed his name.
Tim Wright becomes Kyle Hadden. So what?
Yeah, we still don't know
what his game is,
if he's got a plan
or if it's all just random.
[DESHAWN] I don't think it is.
I ran title deeds on the
abandoned house that blew.
It's Kyle's first foster home.
So it's all personal.
Trigger's old crew.
The bus stop bombing.
Charlotte wasn't just a random
victim. She was the target.
[DESHAWN] This has all been about
revenge on the person
that killed his dad.
Where is Trigger?
[DOOR CLOSES]
I see you've made a full recovery.
What can I say? It's a miracle.
I came alone like you asked.
Where is she?
[EVIE] Trigger!
Evie!
[KYLE] That collar was meant
for you, Travis.
Looks just as good on her.
Don't you think?
Trigger's phone's off.
Car's gone too.
Senior Constable Travis Riggs.
I need a location.
Every camera in this city.
Kyle takes Evie to flush out
Trigger. It makes sense.
Okay, so we find Trigger, rescue Evie.
As long as we do it
in 12 minutes or less.
- [PHONE RINGING TONE]
- [MACKEY] Talk to me, Blue.
Kyle is telling us a story.
An innocent boy, Tim Wright,
loses his dad and enters the system,
where he's transformed into Kyle Hadden.
Our bomber with a grudge.
He fled his past and now
he's literally blowing it up.
Okay, so Kyle led us to the
apartment where his dad died.
And his first foster home before that.
Which are both Tim Wright locations.
So if this is a story of reinvention,
when did Tim Wright become Kyle Hadden?
At the boys' home that he ran away from.
I'm sending the address to your phones.
[MESSAGE WHOOSHES]
[KYLE] They moved me back here
right after the foster homes
didn't work out.
That was my bed right over there.
You know what they gave us
when we arrived?
A toothbrush and a stuffed toy.
And they turned out the lights.
You okay?
It's not the worst fashion
choice I've ever made.
But it's up there.
Takes a special woman to laugh
in the face of death, Travis.
I'm impressed.
I mean, she's no Charlotte, but
..beggars can't be choosers, can they?
You got me here, now let her go.
But I don't want just you, Travis.
I want to take from you
what you took from me.
I want to destroy
everything that you care about.
Your dad killed a cop.
I was just doing my job.
I didn't think anything
could be worse than that day.
But I was wrong.
Every day, it got worse
and all of that is on you.
- Your dad was gonna shoot us.
- With what?
That .38 they found on him?
My dad only ever carried a pistol.
That revolver wasn't his.
So I'm gonna try this one more time.
What was my dad reaching for?
His gun. You know that.
[BEEP!]
[KYLE] Ba-bow!
Again.
What was my dad reaching for?
His gun.
What was he reaching for, Travis?!
[BEEP!]
His gun, you psycho son of a bitch.
Macka.
[CLOCK TICKS]
What the hell?
He's stealing time.
One last try.
What do you say?
What do you want me to say?
Your dad was reaching for a gun.
Did you see it?
The gun he was reaching for.
Did you see it, Travis?
[OFFICER] Police!
Search warrant! Police!
- No.
- Oh, yeah. That's right.
You shot an unarmed man that day.
[OFFICER] Hands in the air! Gun!
[TWO GUNSHOTS]
No.
Yes, you did.
You created an orphan that day too.
Now that orphan's gonna
return the favor.
- [GUNSHOT]
- Trigger! No.
You better get to work, Travis.
Otherwise
..you'll be pulling that pretty
little head out of the ceiling.
