[SOFT MUSIC]
[SEAGULLS CRYING]
[SHIP HORN BLARING]
You're sure about going back to school?
It's only a couple of days a week.
It won't be too much travel.
- Most of it I can do from here.
- Ah.
- Nerd!
- Stop.
You love it!
I've seen you reading journal
articles over my shoulder.
- Yeah, it's a little charming.
- [SARAH CHUCKLES]
All right, thanks for lunch.
Got to go see my insurance agent
before she takes me for dead
and cancels my insurance policy.
You sure you haven't
put it off long enough?
Name one thing that's more
boring than insurance.
Why are you locking up your gun?
Guns make her a little nervous.
She had an accident when she
was a kid in her family, so
- Oh.
- I just take it off.
- You're considerate.
- Yeah, I really am.
[SARAH LAUGHS] Okay, I'll
see you back at the station.
- See you.
- Oh, hey!
- Yeah.
- Um
I've been putting it off but, um
my family's hoping I'll make
it home for my dad's birthday.
- Okay.
- Do you think you and Rex
would like to come in two weeks?
My mother's already invited
all the aunts and uncles.
I think she wants to show you off.
- Um
- I was gonna buy the tickets today, actually.
Just let me check my calendar.
- Okay!
- Um
Yeah! Uh, yeah, let me
know what you decide!
Okay!
Come on, pal.
[REX MOANS]
Don't worry, pal. It'll be fine.
Don't look like that.
No one ever asked you
to meet the family.
CHARLIE: Hey, Denise.
I'm just here to see Nina.
Detective Hudson!
No dogs allowed, as
I've mentioned before.
Yeah, um
Some of our customers have allergies
and this one's clearly a shedder.
[REX MOANS]
Could he stay out here with
you and keep you company?
I won't be long.
[DENISE SIGHS]
Fine. He can stay with me.
Ah, you're the best.
HOWIE: Hey, Denise.
- DENISE: Back from lunch already?
- HOWIE: Yeah!
- These boxes aren't gonna move themselves.
- [DENISE CHUCKLES]
Okay.
You be good.
[REX BARKING]
I said be good.
After you.
- Hey, Nina.
- Charlie!
I thought I'd never see you!
Yeah, sorry about that.
There's those papers you asked for.
I noticed all the boxes.
- You all moving?
- It's our last day here.
The new office is up on Merrymeeting
but you'll get an email.
- Ah, too bad. I love the view.
- Yeah.
There's been some downsizing.
Oh, you're not going anywhere?
Oh, I'd never abandon you,
Charlie. [NINA CHUCKLES]
Um, let me just pull up your file
- and I'll have you out of here in a jiff!
- Okay.
Something's not working.
Felicia, did they disconnect
the phones already?
No, not until the end of the week.
No peeking, Nina.
I didn't see a thing, Felicia.
Did that look like
chocolate to you, or ?
- In my expert opinion, no.
- [NINA GROANS]
There's some areas we can improve.
CHARLIE: Okay, that's great.
So, just a signature right here?
[OMINOUS MUSIC]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
- [REX GROWLS]
- DENISE: Rex, no!
[DENISE SCREAMS]
GUNMAN: Oh, you're lucky
you're not in my way!
- You stay down, okay?
- [REX BARKS]
- Okay!
- [DEVICE BEEPS]
[DOOR SLAMS]
- [REX BARKS]
- [SCREWDRIVER WHIRRING]
[REX BARKS] [REX BARKING IN DISTANCE]
[REX BARKS]

CHARLIE: Get down!
[DENISE SHUDDERING]
[REX BARKING]
GUNMAN: Good afternoon, Bay Insurance!
Now, I want everyone out
where I can see them!
Right now!
[UPBEAT THEME MUSIC]
GUNMAN: Ah, come on! Don't make
this difficult on yourselves!
- [REX BARKING]
- Anybody in here?
- [DOOR SLAMS]
- Hello!
All right!
We'll see how long you can hide!
What?
Everybody take the day off or something?
CHARLIE [WHISPERING]: Nina! This way!
[NINA SHUDDERING]
- [REX BARKING]
- GUNMAN: Okay people!
Just come on out, okay?
Join the fun!
[WYATT SHUDDERING]
[NINA BANGS RADIATOR]
- Shhhhh.
- I mean it's not a party
until everyone joins the fun!
This won't take long!
I promise!
Quick and easy!
[NINA SHUDDERING]
You're bleeding.
I've been shot.
Nina! Are you all right?
- What's happened?
- Stay where you are.
She's gonna be fine.
It's not too deep.
Keep pressure on that.
You're gonna be okay.
This will stop the bleeding.
Are we gonna die?
No, no.
We're going to get you out of here.
Okay?
Mm-hmm.
GUNMAN: This ain't even a big office!
Where do you think you can hide?
[REX BARKING]
[DENISE CRYING]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
DENISE: Okay! Okay!
- Keep the pressure on it.
- Okay.
GUNMAN: It's not gonna be pretty
if I have to find you myself!
I guarantee it!
CHARLIE: He's looking for somebody.
There's another exit at
the back of the office.
Is that one open?
Only during office hours, yeah.
Okay.
Who's your friend next door?
- This is Wyatt.
- Wyatt!
We're gonna make a move.
I'm going to need you in a few minutes.
- Are you sure?
- NINA: Yeah.
This is Charlie. He's a detective.
We can trust him.
Okay.
[CRYING] Okay, okay, okay.
It's not working!
Okay!
CHARLIE: He's looking for someone.
The second door on the left.
Is there anyone in that room?
That's the bathroom.
There's no dial tone.
GUNMAN: Let's go!
He might have disconnected the phones.
GUNMAN: Come out, come
out! Wherever you are!
There's no signal.
Well, our friend came prepared.
He's got a cell phone jammer.
Don't worry. Other people in the
building must have heard those shots.
[SIRENS APPROACHING]
[SIRENS WAILING]
[TENSE MUSIC]
POLICE: This is the police!
We are asking everyone
to exit the building
as quickly and as safely as possible!
Move directly behind the police line!
Do not stop on the stairs!
Help's on the way. Wyatt?
As soon as he gets into
one of those offices,
I'll call you. Don't move before then.
GUNMAN: I haven't got all day, guys!
And you've got even less than that
if you don't come out now!
[CROWD CLAMOURING]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
[DENISE CRYING]
POLICE: Continue moving until
you are behind police lines!
- [REX BARKS]
- Do not stop!
Continue moving until you
are behind police lines!
SARAH: Excuse me, I'm Sarah
Truong with Major Crimes.
That's Rex. Yes, thank you.
- What is happening?
- DENISE: A man with a gun.
He went into our offices
and locked the door.
- Which offices?
- Bay Insurance.
Oh.
Did you see Detective Hudson?
Charlie Hudson? He's inside.
GUNMAN: Maybe you're hiding in here!
[BANGING ON DOOR]
Okay. He's gone into one of the offices.
Wyatt, come on!
Time to move.
It's gonna hurt a little bit.
- [NINA MOANS]
- CHARLIE: Easy.
POLICE: If you have not already
left the building, remain
GUNMAN: Come on!
[REX BARKING]
[NINA CRYING]
[REX BARKING]
GUNMAN: I'm getting
warmer, I just know it!
Not many places left for you to hide!
CHARLIE: Go to the left.
[DOOR SLAMS]
[DOOR HANDLE RATTLING]
[CHARLIE SIGHS]
Damn it.
GUNMAN: I've got all day!
I can look through every single room!
Oh, just try me!
- The door's locked.
- NINA: No!
Okay, what do we do now?
- Howie.
- Charlie.
- Hi.
- Hi.
GUNMAN: Where are you?
[DRAMATIC PERCUSSION]
[TENSE MUSIC]
[SIRENS WAILING]
POLICE: Police are on the way!
Sarah.
The shooter entered an insurance office
according a witness who got out.
How did you get here so fast?
I was here with Charlie and
Rex just before they went in.
Wait, hold on a second. They're inside?
Yeah, Charlie, he's in there, Joe.
Damn it!
- [REX BARKING]
- GUNMAN: That barking is driving me crazy!
I can't focus!
[DOORS BANGING]
First things first. We've
got to take care of this.
Wyatt, you know how to do a tourniquet?
Yeah, the door must be
blocked from the inside.
We normally keep it open
during business hours.
So, phones and exits.
He knows the layout and he's got a plan.
I've got kids at home.
CHARLIE: Uh uh uh uh.
Ahhhh ah ah ah ah.
I've got an idea.
Quickly, please!
How many people are inside that office?
DENISE: Five, six? I'm not sure exactly.
Do you have any idea why he
would have targeted your business?
Yeah, any disgruntled
customers lately, or ?
- Or staff having problems at home?
- No, nothing like that.
Not that I know of.
A few people did get laid off recently.
The company is downsizing.
Okay, listen to me. I want
you to write down the names
of every single person who was laid off.
- Okay.
- Do you understand? Put it right there.
Excuse me.
[CAMERA SNAPPING]
POLICE: Please move back!
We're asking everyone to move back
behind the police vehicles!
Charlie's not answering his phone.
There was something
wrong with the phones.
I couldn't call out.
Yeah but he should still
have his cell phone.
Nice and tight.
Gotcha.
Be ready.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
- Just breathe.
- [NINA MOANS]
Deep breath.
[DOOR SLAMS]
- [DOOR SLAMS]
- GUNMAN: Hey!
Hey!
You go, man!
Oh, I see!
Hey!
[DOOR BANGING]
[GUNMAN GRUNTING]
CHARLIE: Ah, it's not gonna hold.
GUNMAN: Aghhh!
CHARLIE: Grab the cabinet!
HOWIE: Okay. Come on, come on!
- [NINA SCREAMS]
- [GUNSHOTS FIRING]
[ONLOOKERS SCREAM]
[GUNSHOTS FIRING]
[WORKERS WAILING]
Gunshots. Joe, I need to get inside.
No, I'm not gonna put
you in jeopardy as well.
SWAT's on the way.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
Move, let's go!
DONOVAN: They're going to go in
and then we're gonna do our thing.
No, but they're gonna escalate things.
and somebody's gonna get hurt.
All right!
I want you two to get eyes
on all entrances and exits!
[GUN CHAMBER RATTLING]
[BULLET CASINGS TINKLING]
HOWIE: Door!
CHARLIE: Barricade the door!
HOWIE: Come on, come on, come on!
[MEN GRUNTING]
- [DOOR SLAMS]
- [DOOR LOCK CLICKS]
Someone over there!
I need you to circle around
and make sure that nobody
leaves this building!
Go!
JESSE: Boss!
DONOVAN: Jesse, listen.
I've got a list of the names of people
who were recently laid
off from this office.
I want you to go through and see
if any of them could be our shooter.
Focus on males between
20 and 40 years old.
I'm on it.
SERGEANT: Check in with Hastings!
- Go see if he needs help!
- Give me a second. Sergeant!
Donovan. What have we got?
- What do we know?
- We have two officers in the building
with no way of communication.
We need to flip the table. Uh, you.
Big man, Howie. Wyatt,
move those chairs.
[MEN GRUNTING]
WYATT: Nina! Nina!
- HOWIE: Behind! Come here!
- [GUN CHAMBER RATTLING]
GUNMAN: Nowhere left to run!
Are we ready to get serious now?
[DOOR HANDLE RATTLING]
Open the door!
- I know you're in there!
- [BANGING ON DOOR]
Hey!
Open up!
Very clever!
You know you can't keep
me out forever, huh?
- NINA: Can he still see us?
- Shhh.
[DISTANT SIRENS]
GUNMAN: Where are you?
[BANGING ON DOOR]
What, do you think
I'm some kind of joke?
We need to flip the table, come on.
GUNMAN: I'm not messing around here!
CHARLIE: We're too exposed.
[MEN GRUNTING]
Help me with the credenza. Come on.
Hi.
- Hi!
- WYATT: Felicia Charlie.
- Hi.
- Pleasure to meet you!
[MEN GRUNTING]
Who is it? What's he doing?
Uh
Don't know yet.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
Come on, come on!
[CAMERA SNAPPING]
Any of you recognize this man?
Oh that's that's Louis!
- FELICIA: What?
- NINA: Yeah.
Louis Phalen!
He got let go in the downsizing.
What can you tell me about him?
WYATT: He's awkward!
Poor fella can't tell
a joke to save himself.
NINA: He had a huge
chip on his shoulder.
Some of the things he said
But I never guessed he'd
do something like this!
- NINA: No!
- CHARLIE: Mmmm.
[CHARLIE WHISTLES]
[CHARLIE WHISTLES]
Come on, pal.
[CHARLIE WHISTLES]
[CHARLIE WHISTLES IN DISTANCE]
[REX BARKS]
[INTRIGUING MUSIC]
Take it. Take it.
What are you doing?
Kind of hard to explain.
Come on, pal.
Take it.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
CHARLIE: Good job pal.
Leave with it.
Leave.
[OMINOUS MUSIC]
[GUNSHOTS FIRING]
[NINA GASPS]
WYATT: What are you doing?
CHARLIE: The outside
lines are disconnected
but maybe the internal
lines are working.
- Nina, what's your extension?
- 1127.
[PHONE RINGING]
[PHONE RINGING]
Hi, Louis.
My name's Charlie.
Oh. Hi, Charlie.
I guess you realized
I couldn't disconnect
the internal phone lines,
huh? Congrats! Nice one!
Well, that was a good job
disconnecting the outside lines.
Yeah, I know. I'm not an idiot.
No, not at all.
- Because I know what I'm doing.
- I can tell.
I got that. So,
what exactly is it that you
want from all this, huh?
I want
- I just want to send a message.
- Uh-huh.
LOUIS: I want to give
my former coworkers
the goodbye they deserve!
That's all!
[DRAMATIC PERCUSSION]
JESSE: Guys! Okay.
So, of six former
employees, two are women.
I managed to get three on the phone
but there's one unaccounted for.
Louis Phalen.
Louis Phalen?
Rex!
Hey, hey!
What have you got there, buddy?
Here, let me see. Let me see, come on.
What is that?
A cell phone jammer!
- Maybe that's why Charlie isn't answering.
- [DEVICE BEEPS]
Okay, it's off.
Trying him now.
Oh, I'm so happy to see you.
SERGEANT: Donovan.
The shooter has the front
and back exits blocked.
We're gonna need to
break through the doors.
Our guys don't have a visual.
Has your guy made contact?
We just opened the
phone lines, right now.
We're gonna need a minute.
- I'll get the team in position.
- Not yet.
Sarah, it's time! Go!
[PHONE CHIMES]
Text from Charlie!
Wait! Hold on!
SARAH: Secure.
One injured, no fatalities.
He's talking to the shooter.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
Rex!
JESSE: He's not gonna leave
Charlie alone in there.
Listen, Detective Hudson
is negotiating right now.
We could have a
peaceful resolution here!
We'll give Hudson a chance
but we need to be ready to move in, sir.
What your team needs to do is
secure entry to the building.
Quietly. Okay? We can't spook this guy!
We will talk about
next steps after this.
You were right, Jesse.
He says the shooter's
name is Louis Phalen.
So, anything we can learn about him
can help Charlie take him down.
Okay, let's see what we can find out.
CHARLIE: So, Louis. What's it gonna take
to get all of us out of here safely?
LOUIS: Safely?
No, man.
No, that's not the plan.
CHARLIE: The plan.
The plan. Okay.
Tell me about the plan.
Who the hell are you anyway, Charlie?
CHARLIE: Hey, look. I'm just a
I'm just a guy.
A customer.
I came to get some home insurance, okay?
LOUIS: Oh, I see.
Wrong place wrong
time type of situation.
Yeah, something like that.
How's your life insurance, Charlie?
Hey, Louis. Look, I
know. You don't know me,
but I'm here.
I'm listening.
Cool!
Well, I've got no beef with you,
Mr. Nice Guy.
So, just
you know, keep your head down and
maybe you'll be fine!
Louis, you haven't hurt anybody yet.
You can stop this right now.
LOUIS: No.
You hear me? No!
Today is the day
where all these smug jerks,
they finally realize what happens
when they underestimate me!
Me!
- You hear that?
- [NINA GASPS]
I'm coming for you!
You've been underestimated. Yeah.
That can really get to a person.
I get that.
- They shouldn't underestimate me.
- CHARLIE: Yeah.
I'm listening.
LOUIS: Look man. This
This is between me and
Felicia, okay? Not you.
So, do you know her? Do
you know where she is?
I mean I've looked all around the office
and she's not there, so,
she must be somewhere!
What's between you and Felicia?
Me?
Sneaky sneaky little Felicia.
She's with you, isn't she?
She's hiding in there
with you, isn't she?
CHARLIE: Stay down.
LOUIS: Like a little rat.
Hiding.
[BANGING ON DOOR]
Felicia!
Come out! Come out, okay?
You can't hide anymore! Okay.
Okay, Charlie.
You want to know what, Mr. Calm Guy?
I have a deal for you.
I'm gonna tell you something.
You want this to be over, right?
That's what I want too. So,
send her out.
Charles?
You want it to be over?
- Send her out!
- CHARLIE: I can't do that.
LOUIS: Send her out! I'm waiting.
I can give a message to her.
What would you like to say?
What would you like to say to her?
Tell her that from now on,
it's only gonna get worse.
And it's all her fault.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
[SHIP HORN BLARING]
JESSE: Louis Phalen. 28 years old.
No criminal history. He's a local kid.
Bachelor of Commerce at Heritage U.
He was employed at the
insurance office for two years.
Did he live alone?
Looks like he moved in with
his mother a few months ago.
So, financial problems
after he lost his job?
Or maybe a breakup?
Yeah, I'm checking his socials.
DONOVAN: Okay, Charlie says he's
got the staff barricaded together.
- SWAT wants to go in.
- SARAH: No, no, no.
- You've got to give him time.
- Yeah, that's what I told them.
JESSE: I have Louis's
mother's number here.
- Do we notify her?
- DONOVAN: Well, you never know
what effect family could
have on an active suspect.
The chances are they make things worse.
I'd like to talk to her.
We keep family away.
SARAH: Yeah, but Louis doesn't
have to know that she's here.
- DONOVAN: That's not protocol, Sarah.
- Joe,
any information we get
could be useful to Charlie!
Please.
Okay.
Okay, but we keep her out of sight.
Thank you. Okay.
Felicia. Any reason why
he has it out for you?
He has it out for me because
I'm the one who fired him.
Head office told me we had to make cuts!
WYATT: No, it's not your fault.
He's the kind of
person who always has to
blame someone else for his problems.
NINA: He didn't get on with people.
He's lonely. I think work was the
only thing he had to pin his hopes on.
How did he handle it the
day that you let him go?
I tried to make it clear it
was a cost-cutting measure!
He was one of the most recent hires
so one of the first to go!
He had some kind of conspiracy theory
that Felicia was firing him
because she had to hire more women.
I told him that was crazy, but
people believe what they need to.
You're not gonna make
me go out there, are you?
CHARLIE: No, of course not.
We're in this together.
Yeah?
Yeah.
[CROWD CLAMOURING]
POLICE: Remain calm and remain in place!
Help is on the way!
It's been quiet for a while.
Yeah, I think I have a lead
on this guy's online activity.
He's really into this men's
group. That's unfortunate.
- Are you okay?
- Yeah.
- Come on, come on, come on.
- [PHONE BUZZING]
It's Charlie.
Charlie, hey.
Hey, Jesse.
- Are you on to our shooter?
- Yeah, yeah.
Louis Phalen. He's a former employee.
Well, I'm getting the story
from his coworkers right now.
Sounds like being let go set him off
but I'm sure there's other grievances.
Yeah, he does. He's had
trouble finding a girlfriend.
But what he did find
was a mens' group online
that thinks women are the problem.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
[SARAH SIGHS]
Yeah, you keep me posted.
Thanks.
SWAT is in the process
of removing the back door.
It's slow going because they
don't want to alert the shooter.
Jesse is getting strong
incel vibes from this guy.
- Oh, that's great.
- Yeah, he's talking to Charlie now.
DONOVAN: Excuse me! Ma'am!
You cannot go through
there! Please stand back.
But my son, he works in there!
And the offices they
said are blocked off!
Is he all right?
Mrs. Phalen. We spoke on the phone.
Um Come with me.
Okay. Yeah, thanks Jesse.
[HOWIE PANTING]
- Howie, stay back.
- HOWIE: No, it's too hot in here!
I've got to get out of here!
It's not safe out there.
He's gonna come back
- right in here anyway.
- CHARLIE: Howie!
HOWIE: What difference
does it make, man?
It's only a matter of time
- before he gets in here.
- NINA: No Howie, stop!
Ughh!
- CHARLIE: We need to stay under cover.
- HOWIE: No!
CHARLIE: Howie!
HOWIE: It's too hot!
[HOWIE CRYING]
CHARLIE: Come back, Howie!
Stop struggling!
LOUIS: Hey!
Hey, stop! I'm gonna shoot!
HOWIE: I'm sick, man! I need a medic!
- CHARLIE: You don't want to do this.
- LOUIS: Don't move!
What is this? Some kind of trick man?
HOWIE: I need to get out!
LOUIS: Stop moving man!
Man, do you know what a gun is?
I'm gonna put a bullet inside of you!
- HOWIE: I can't breathe!
- LOUIS: Stop moving!
Stop it, man!
[GLASS SHATTERING]
[REX GROWLING]
Ughh!
Rex!
HOWIE: Don't shoot! Don't shoot!
[LOUIS GROANS]
[LOUIS HOWLS IN PAIN]
- [GUN FIRES]
- [ONLOOKERS SCREAMING]
POLICE: Shot fired!
Shot fired!
MRS. PHALEN: Sweet
Lord! My boy is in there.
SARAH: Mrs. Phalen. There
isn't an easy way to tell you this.
MRS. PHALEN: What is
it? Is he hurt, is he ?
SARAH: We have reason to believe that,
that Louis is the shooter.
JESSE: Did he have access to guns?
He's never used a gun in his life!
He's not a violent person!
No, you must be mistaken.
We have reliable eyewitness statements
saying that he is
currently inside with a gun.
[SOMBRE MUSIC]
Is anyone hurt? Has he
hurt anyone in there?
SARAH: Everyone is alive.
And we would like to help make
sure that it stays that way.
So, um, has Louis's
behaviour changed recently?
Well
Uh
Well, yes.
He's been more angry lately.
I tried to raise him to be kind.
I told him Forget about the girl
who doesn't like you back.
Don't focus on her!
There are more fish in the sea but
he doesn't listen to his mother!
JESSE: I think he was
listening to someone online.
CHARLIE: Great to see you, pal.
[LOUIS MOANS]
[LOUIS CRIES IN PAIN]
[REX WHINES]
It's okay.
[LOUIS CRIES]
Stay back. [CHARLIE WHISTLES]
[LOUIS PANTS]
[LOUIS GROANS]
- [DOOR HANDLE RATTLES]
- LOUIS: He stabbed me!
You stabbed me!
Oh, that's messed up man!
You messed up big time!
- [GLASS SHATTERING]
- [ALL GASPING]
- [DOOR HANDLE RATTLING]
- NINA: Wyatt! Wyatt!
[LOUIS SCREAMING]
Aghhh!
Aghh!
Damn it!
[CHARLIE WHISTLES AND SNAPS FINGERS]
[LOUIS MOANING]
[PHONE RINGING]
What?
That man out there
needs medical attention.
It's not too late for him.
Charlie.
The guy that just threw a knife at me
and almost broke my hand?
What are you talking about?
- You want to be friends now?
- CHARLIE: I'm sorry about that, Louis,
but I don't want you
to hurt these people.
That man's name out there is Howie.
He's got kids and it's
not too late to help him.
What happened?
I didn't shoot him.
I don't know the guy.
CHARLIE: He had a heart attack, okay?
So, put the gun down and get
the paramedics up here now!
Come on!
Louis!
[HOWIE MOANS]
Charlie.
He's moving.
He doesn't look good.
I don't think he's doing well.
[HOWIE MOANS]
His face is grey, I don't think
he's gonna make it, Charlie.
That's not good, Louis.
You can stop this.
Okay? Before anyone else gets hurt.
Look at you.
Pretending to be my friend
just because I'm the
bad guy with the gun.
[REX WHINES]
Didn't you come here today
to try and make somebody understand
where you're coming from?
All this planning,
willingness to get yourself hurt
for your cause.
All so that somebody would
know what you're going through?
I'm listening.
What do you know about
my problems, Mr. Perfect?
Do you ever feel so worthless
that you can't even talk to a girl
or keep a job?
- Do you?
- No, I'm thinking
if someone's not going
to like you that's
got to be pretty lonely.
Yeah.
And thinking that you're
not gonna measure up
maybe I shouldn't even try,
that's no way to live.
But Louis,
you have the choice how
you handle your situation.
And I think you know that
something is wrong here.
- You're a smart guy.
- Oh, yeah.
That's what everybody in
here has been telling me.
Yeah, I bet that's what they told you.
You are a smart guy.
You broke a little bit today.
But I can understand that.
[LOUIS SCOFFS]
I think other people will be
willing to understand that.
I wanted them to understand
that they messed up.
They need to understand
the order of things.
They need to learn that women
don't deserve everything.
Whose words are these, Louis?
I think you're listening
to the wrong people.
No, look. I can think for myself, okay?
Yeah, you can think for
yourself. So, do it now.
You feel bad about Howie, don't you?
Yeah.
You can put the gun down.
- No.
- Get him help.
- It's just too late for me.
- Louis.
No.
[CRYING] Charlie, I
can't go back out there.
Listen to me.
You have the power to stop this

MRS. PHALEN: He's been
disappointed in so many ways.
He was young when his father died.
So, Louis didn't have a
male role model, right?
I'm sure you did your best.
But he was a sweet boy.
Whatever's happened to him lately,
I'm sorry I couldn't fix it, but,
can you let those cops
out there know that
that's still my boy.
- I will.
- MRS. PHALEN: I mean how would he get a gun?
He doesn't know people like that!
JESSE: Sarah.
He joined this online group
and had been posting quite frequently
ever since he lost his job.
This one other user, Maestro,
- answered every post.
- Like encouraging him?
Indoctrinating. You know, hyping
the idea of violence against normies.
A role model.
- Poor kid.
- So, three days ago,
Maestro tells Louis that he
can help him get what he needs
and then their public conversation ends.
I want to keep reading their DMs
but it's gonna take some time.
But if Maestro did help Louis get guns,
then that would mean he was local.
Maybe, yeah.
- Find out who he is.
- Okay.
Okay.
[SARAH SIGHS]
CHARLIE: Damn it.
The back door is gonna be open soon.
WYATT: How do we get there?
We've lost the element of surprise
with the whole filing cabinet thing.
Rex and I will distract him.
Wait. What do you mean by distraction?
I don't know. We'll think of something.
[INTRIGUING MUSIC]
Don't do it! Let the SWAT guys come in!
When the SWAT guys
come in, the kid's dead.
Better him than you!
[REX WHINES]
Yeah, I know, buddy, I know.
Come on, pal. It's
time for a distraction.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
So, if Maestro is local,
he might not have set all this in motion
just to watch it on the news.
Yeah, do you think
he's somewhere nearby?
You said he egged Louis on?
Yeah, I just feel like Louis
wouldn't have done all this
- without Maestro pulling the strings.
- I agree.
And if so, then there's a good chance
Maestro would have wanted a
front row seat to his handiwork.
Yeah.
Okay, I'm gonna see if I
can track him to his socials.
- Okay.
- Find a photo.

It must be.
DENISE: Is there anything more
that you need from me Superintendent?
DONOVAN: No, that won't be necessary.
We can get you all finished up here.
We've gotten word that your
friends are on the way out safely.
So, you can go see them.
- Oh thank you, thank you.
- Yeah, okay.
Are you okay?

Okay, hold on. Let me

SARAH: Joe, let his mother
have a minute with him?
DONOVAN: Yeah, he's
secure, but just for a minute.
- Okay.
- You can talk to him more in holding.
[SOFT MUSIC]
Please.
[LOUIS CRIES]
- Hey.
- Hey, I don't know if it's anything,
but in one message, Maestro
says he's got two guns.
No. No, they searched Louis
and they said he only had one, so
Let's find Maestro.
We'll go pick him up.
Okay, Sarah says he might be nearby.
How close are you to finding an ID?
I'm almost there. I'm almost there.
I'm just checking his socials
looking for a photo.
- We need you to hurry.
- I know.
This isn't over until we've got him too.
I know. Maestro's looking at hard
time for causing all of this.
- [COMPUTER PINGS]
- There he is.
Joe. I saw this guy in
the crowd out there.
Hi, there! I'm Special Constable Mills.
Are you the one they call, Maestro?
Gun! Gun!
- Get him!
- [MAESTRO GROWLS]
Turn around!
Hey. Good luck having
internet privileges in prison.
[CUFFS CLATTERING]
Come on.
Get him out of here!
[SOFT GUITAR]
Good job.
Thank you.
