Falling Water (2016) s02e09 Episode Script
Risk Assessment
1 Previously on "Falling Water" - What are you doing? - No one wants to see their family hurt.
- Isn't that right? - Christy, baby, wake up! [SCREAMS.]
[ITEMS THUD, CLATTER.]
Shadowman thinks he's unstoppable.
We need to end this, Taka.
He wants to make this personal we'll make it personal.
- Is my dad in trouble? - He could be.
I just need to make sure he's not gonna hurt anybody, - including you or your mother.
- He would never hurt me.
Taylor Bennett is the one who hired Shadowman.
I wanna make a deal with you.
I have the best intel on Taylor Bennett, and although I am out of favor, she would sooner deal with me than any of you.
- I'm here to help.
- Who the hell are you? A Dreamer, like you.
- [GLASS SHATTERS.]
- [GRUNTS.]
If you follow me, I'll kill you.
When was the last time you saw your father? I already told you.
I'm not allowed to see him.
Your mom's not here, I believe.
You know, you can tell me.
There's nothing to tell.
I mean, do you meet at a park or at his apartment? I don't meet him at all.
[EERIE MUSIC.]
[CHUCKLES.]
You're a good kid you know, straight-A student.
- I know you wanna help.
- I wanna go home.
Okay, we just need to talk to him, Emily.
You can't keep me here.
I'm not an adult.
I know you're not allowed to keep me here without my mom Sit down! [OMINOUS MUSIC.]
Look, I know you wanna protect your father, - but he is a murderer.
- That's not true.
[THUDS AND SCREAMS.]
The man who killed her is Sam Morrison, your dad's boss at the mower factory.
Why are you doing this? - I didn't do it, your dad did.
- You're lying.
He comes to people in their dreams.
He gave Mr.
Morrison nightmares until he murdered his wife.
My dad wouldn't do that.
He did more.
This little piggy had none.
- Please, don't make me - Look.
Look! - [GUNSHOT.]
- [WATER SPLASHES, DRONES.]
[SCREAMS.]
Why are you doing this to me? You need to see the truth, Emily! You're a monster! I'll show you the real monster.
That woman with the chemicals eating her face away, she was my mother.
Your father killed her.
He drove the woman I loved to murder her.
That's who your father really is.
No no, it can't be! Ask him about what you just saw.
Ask him about my mother.
That's not my dad! 'Cause that's the real Tom Dolan.
[SCREAMS.]
[SCREECHING.]
[EERIE STRING MUSIC INTENSIFIES.]
[DRAMATIC TONE.]
[TENSE MUSIC.]
Taka Taka! Ta Taka! Emily! [CAR HONKS.]
[PANTING.]
- My dad, he was - It's okay.
It's okay, Emily.
You're safe.
- Where am I? - You ran into the street.
I did? You were sleepwalking.
You almost got run over.
[DARK MUSIC.]
Look, you don't need to tail Emily all day.
- She's in school.
- I saved the girl's life.
I guess I feel a responsibility to make sure nothing else happens.
Okay, I know what happened last night was Wrong? - [MUMBLES.]
Don't touch me.
- Look, I told you.
If she was still stonewalling me in the dream.
I had to do something to get her to call her dad.
We have Sutton watching our every move.
- If anything had happened - Yeah, but it didn't.
She could have died, Taka! The things I had to show Emily, yeah, they were tough to see.
Oh, you think? But it got to her, which means she'll call him, she sets up a meeting, we get Dolan.
I don't know what's more disturbing, the fact that you're okay putting this girl's life in danger or that you're not freaked out that you made her sleepwalk into oncoming traffic! I told you, I didn't mean for it to happen.
Oh, uh, what, she was supposed to wait at the curb, look both ways first? We see him with Emily, we can arrest him on the spot.
That is a real world plan.
That's what we've been waiting for.
Not like this! [DARK AMBIENT MUSIC.]
[GROWLING.]
Brutus, I think you missed me.
[GROWLING CONTINUES.]
This is quite the welcome.
[GRUNTS.]
Easy there, big guy.
- He's clean.
- But still dangerous.
Hey, you're the one who tried to have me killed, remember? Not the other way around? Which makes your visit even more suspicious.
We swim in a very small pond.
I thought we could make nice and agree not to eat each other.
- No.
- Okay.
I I admit, I took it a step too far with Whittaker, but so did you.
Do you know how much you cost me, not just in money that I contributed to his campaign, but in time spent clearing obstacles to make his election even possible? Honestly, I never understood why you put your eggs in his particular basket.
A woman like you could do so much better.
Shut up.
Escort him out.
You're not interested in a massively talented Dreamer? [SOLEMN MUSIC.]
[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING.]
Is Alex coming? No, she's keeping track on Dolan's daughter, and we figure if she contacts him, I don't know, we might get lucky.
The girlfriend okay? Yeah, Christy's stable.
Uh, pretty bad concussion.
Alex thinks she'll be discharged in a day or two.
[SIGHS.]
Feels like Dolan is closing in on us and everyone around us.
No, the things he had Christy say he knew exactly what he was doing.
It's a hell of a way to deliver a message.
The message isn't nearly as interesting as the messenger.
Yeah, you might feel differently if the threats were leveled at you.
On a personal level, yes, but there are hundreds of examples of people communicating verbally using other Dreamers.
What's unusual is Mr.
Dolan's ability to completely transform his appearance.
Yeah, that he can definitely do.
It's an undocumented skill set.
So is getting people to off someone or kill themselves.
Well, I'm starting to believe it's possible.
There's sleepwalking, sleep-driving, sleep-eating.
Some percentage of any of those events could easily be manipulated by Dreamers.
It's one thing to get someone to eat a box of cookies.
It's another to get them to jump off of a building.
It's just a matter of degree.
No, Dolan enjoys hurting people.
It's not the same.
[DARK AMBIENT MUSIC.]
You okay? I just really wanna nail this guy.
We all do.
But Taylor Bennett's the real target, okay? She's the money.
We focus on getting her and she'll give us Dolan.
Sure, Bennett'll roll on Dolan in a heartbeat if we can arrest her.
Which we can do now, thanks to Woody.
[GROANS.]
I don't like it.
But he knows the human trafficking business better than any one of us.
Which is why we can't trust him.
Woody has no loyalty, except to himself.
It's bad enough we have to rely on Bill.
[SOFT INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC.]
Hey, there it is again.
Bill Look, I know you prefer to do everything alone, okay? I get it.
But like it or not, we need Woody.
And we're gonna need something to arrest Bennett.
He worked at Hull-Bedford when they tried to sell James.
Do you really think I'd suggest this if Woody wasn't our best chance of getting Bennett? [GRUNTS.]
You have no reason to trust me, but in all my time at Hull-Bedford, I never saw anyone with this kind of ability.
This Dreamer is special.
You honestly think I'd buy anything from you? Not buy: sell and split the profit.
There was a memorial for Nicholas Hull.
I sent flowers because I can't stand to be in the same room with most of those people.
I have an incredible asset, Taylor.
All I need is a buyer.
One transaction.
You said it yourself.
I have no reason to trust you.
Do you trust Bill Boerg's data? Boerg? [CHUCKLES.]
I've been to that well, and it's dry.
I can log into the drom server right now and show you.
You're working with Boerg? More like using him as an exit strategy.
May I? Boerg has stumbled on the mother of all Dreamers, and he doesn't want you to know about her.
He's been begging me to invest.
Why would he hide anything from me? Because he's working with Detective Matsuyama and the FBI informer from the Firm to have you arrested.
The FBI investigation is closed.
But Detective Matsuyama knows that you've had some merchandise go missing recently.
Lainie is her name, right? [CHUCKLES SOFTLY.]
Why would Bill Boerg tell you he's working with the cops? Because he thinks I'll help them because I hate you.
You do hate me.
Not as much as I wanna get out of this business and disappear forever.
And with Dreamer 126 We're talking millions.
You find the right buyer, and your half will take the sting out of losing Whittaker.
[INTENSE PERCUSSIVE MUSIC.]
Every Dreamer is assigned a numerical code.
No names are used.
So, anyone who saw these numbers, they'd never know it's me? All they would know is that Dreamer 126 is very, very powerful.
Despite what you may think of me, I would never betray you, Tess.
You gave your data to Bennett.
But we saved Lainie.
I know.
I'm just frustrated.
Dolan's on the loose, Bennett's free, and Sabine is When my sister was taken, nobody came to rescue her.
I know how personal this is for you.
It is for me too.
But as you said, Woody's motives are less noble.
Of all people, you don't think we should trust him? [SOLEMN SYNTH MUSIC.]
I want to make sure no one is abducted or trafficked ever again.
Do you think that's what drives Woody? What drives Woody is to save his own ass.
But right now, taking down Bennett will help him do that.
So, we agree? Two meetings: one to set the price and one to verify delivery and payment.
[GROANS.]
It's like a drug deal.
I'll handle everything else.
That's what was so useful about Hull-Bedford.
They took care of all the details.
If something went wrong, there was a buffer.
Nothing will go wrong.
Dreamer 126 trusts me.
And before you think about sending your thugs to Boerg, - she's not there.
- [CHUCKLES SOFTLY.]
- Is she sedated? - No, and she won't need to be.
Makes transport less complicated.
You have a buyer in mind? You staying with your friend? The handsome black man that rescued you from the fire? Why? Are you planning on sending somebody after me again? Deliver Dreamer 126 and we'll let bygones be bygones.
[BEEPING RAPIDLY.]
- This thing really works? - Uh, theoretically.
If I can keep close enough to the buyer.
How close? For how long? Within a few feet, for as long as it takes.
Ah, it won't be easy.
Dimitri's tech hasn't failed me yet.
Have you heard from Woody? He'll be here, trust me.
You said that an hour ago.
I know we all agreed to this plan.
I'm gonna go check on James.
Any news on Dolan? Ah, you know, Alex can't stand to be at the hospital, so she's been tailing his daughter all day.
Still nothing.
Well, she'll wanna see him eventually.
I was hoping for more, uh immediate results.
I went into Emily Dolan's dream last night.
Oh she talks to him there? No but after what happened to Alex and Christy, I needed to show this girl what her father does.
Uh wait [STAMMERS.]
you you showed her the murders? Just in her dream.
I mean, we we we do it all the time with crime scene photos.
You know, a cop tells you your your father's a killer, no one wants to believe that, so we need to we need to find a way to make the crime real.
And how did she take it? She ran out of the building into traffic.
She was sleepwalking? You did that? It wasn't like I meant for it to happen.
And she's okay.
You know, Alex was right there.
I made sure of that.
You're damn lucky she didn't get hurt.
All I did was show her the truth.
Made her watch what her father actually did.
To Sabine and your mother.
[EERIE MUSIC.]
Yeah.
Yeah, and the others too.
Well, maybe that's how Dolan sees it too.
Yeah, he's just showing people the truth: - his truth.
- Are you comparing me - to Dolan? - No.
- Good.
- I'm saying you've lost a lot because of one man.
Yeah, and now we're gonna nail him.
I understand your anger.
I didn't say using it was a good idea.
Look, if Dolan took everything from you, everything, you'd be doing this and more.
None of this is gonna bring back your mother, Taka, or get Sabine out of prison.
No but it'll save someone else's life, because if we don't stop him, Dolan will kill again.
You're saying the best present you ever received was a macramé plant holder? Yeah, she was so proud.
- She made it all by herself.
- Hm.
That was the last Christmas I spent with family.
My best present is a magnet.
[UPBEAT POP MUSIC PLAYING OVER RADIO.]
Well, let's hear it.
My sister gave it to me.
It has my favorite quote from Carl Jung.
"Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.
" I know it sounds lame, but she knows I was really inspired by Jung, so it means a lot to me.
Just like your plant holder.
I'm really enjoying talking to you, Rebecca but I need to make a quick phone call.
No, please.
Don't go anywhere.
[LINE RINGING.]
I just met a very lovely woman.
I have to give it to you.
Rebecca is definitely one of my types.
I'm not sure I understand.
Have me followed again, and Dreamer 126 disappears.
[TENSE MUSIC.]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER, BACKGROUND NOISE.]
Yes, we are running down a lead.
We are working our assigned cases, Lieutenant.
Scout's honor.
Home again, home again.
Nice of you to finally show up.
Sorry for the delay.
I was being followed.
- What? By who? - Don't worry, I shook her off.
So the plan worked? Like a charm.
She took the bait.
And did you? 'Scuse me? What? Somebody has to name the elephant in the room.
I'm sure Woody was sincere when he agreed to help us carry out this operation.
Absolutely.
I made her an offer she couldn't refuse, and thanks to me, the deal is on.
[DARK AMBIENT MUSIC.]
So, did Bennett say who the buyer is? Uh, no, just that I be contacted when the meeting was set.
So, does the aerodynamic design decrease drag going in and out of REM sleep? There's nanotechnology embedded in the pods.
Ah, using technology to unlock the secrets of dreaming.
You should try it.
You might be surprised what it reveals about yourself.
Yeah when it comes to self-knowledge, I prefer ignorance.
And besides, I don't wanna be napping when Taylor's minions call.
And she has no idea you're helping us? Oh, no, she knows that.
I told her myself.
[SCOFFS.]
Let me say, I always knew this was a bad idea.
- Why did you tell her that? - [SCOFFS.]
She'd be stupid to trust me, and Taylor Bennett's not stupid.
We had a cover story, okay? Boerg asked you to help him recruit Dreamers.
She would have seen through that in a second.
Bennett knows that Boerg is not stupid.
- Oh, thank you, Woody.
- Did you tell her it was me? Give away my identity? - Of course not.
- Well, you told her everything else.
For all I know, you told her about James.
If anything goes wrong, I'm the first person she's gonna take out.
If anyone saw me coming here, there would be no red flags, thanks to my cover story.
I understand the strategy, okay? It's just not what we discussed.
Yeah, well, it came to me when I had a gun shoved in my face.
You're fine with me putting my ass on the line, but trusting me that's too much to ask.
[SIGHS.]
[SNIFFLES.]
[EXHALES, CHUCKLES.]
[MUSIC SOFTENS.]
Sometimes I forget how much everyone else is at risk.
[CHUCKLES.]
Bennett's not the first to try to have me killed.
Can't say I'm surprised.
No one's depending on me, Tess, but James needs you.
You need to stay far away from Bennett.
[SOFTLY.]
I can't.
There's no reason for you to get caught up in this.
I've been caught up in it my whole life.
[GLASS CLINKING.]
Did you know Charlotte's not my mother? Of course you did.
You never told me? It wasn't exactly my place, and you were still a kid when I left Aeskyton.
I haven't been a kid for a long time.
I know.
You know anything else about my parents? Where where they lived, who they were, anything? No, I was ten, maybe 11, when you showed up at Aeskyton.
[EXHALES SHARPLY.]
[CHUCKLES.]
You know, from the moment you arrived, you were the center of attention.
Everybody loved you.
That wasn't love.
What Charlotte did, that wasn't love.
Look, I know that Charlotte has her flaws, but She locked me in a mental ward, Woody.
She tried to make me forget James existed.
I guess I wanna think better of her than that.
Have you talked to her? Her voicemail is off.
She left Aeskyton.
No information about where she's gone.
She's good at that, withholding facts.
[SIGHS.]
You know anything else about me? How how I got pregnant? Look, if I did, I would tell you.
I would.
And I'm not defending Charlotte, but if she had not let me stay at Aeskyton [INHALES DEEPLY.]
God knows where my parents would've dumped me.
[EXHALES.]
You never went home, did you? Not for summer, not for holidays.
Some rich troublemakers got sent to Swiss boarding school.
I got sent to Aeskyton.
[BOTH CHUCKLE.]
[LAUGHS.]
Yeah.
[CHUCKLES.]
Emily's on the move.
She left her jacket.
Look at that.
It worked.
[SOLEMN STRING MUSIC.]
Yeah, we got a 10-52 V.
Requesting backup at 183rd and Wadsworth.
She's a minor.
Order of protection against her father.
Everything okay, Peanut? Yeah.
I don't know why I called.
[CHUCKLES.]
You know you can talk to me.
You sounded worried on the phone.
It's nothing.
[CHUCKLES.]
School stuff.
You mean the scholarship? - No.
- I mean, I've been trying They have to give you something in writing.
- Okay - And I'm talking like a contract, not some email.
Looks like he's getting agitated.
We've got backup.
No, he makes a move, I'm going in.
- I'm not letting him get away.
- Neither am I.
Sometimes people with a lot of money, they make promises, and they think they don't have to keep them.
[EERIE MUSIC.]
Like the people you work for? Don't you worry.
No one backs out of a promise they make to Tom Dolan.
All right? Your old boss, Mr.
Morrison he made promises he didn't keep.
That's what you said once.
Why are you asking about Sam Morrison? I just I had this dream.
I looked it up online.
He told the police that he was asleep the whole time, that he was having a nightmare.
And I know it sounds crazy, but I dreamed about it too.
[MUTTERING.]
Don't you worry a single second about Sam Morrison.
- Dad - No Did you do it? Did you make him kill his wife? How could you ever think I'd have anything to do with that? Because I dreamed about you.
You look different.
You're tall and skinny and your face is all stretched and broken.
But it's you, isn't it? I'm so sorry, Peanut.
[SHAKY BREATHING.]
I never wanted you to see me like that.
I just No, we can't wait.
We gotta make a move.
When he sees we're there for him, he'll run.
So we'll be ready.
Come here.
Hey, come here.
You have to believe me.
Everything I ever did, I did for you, okay? Run, Daddy.
You have to run now.
[ITEMS CLATTER.]
- [WHIMPERS.]
- Stay down! [GRUNTS, GROANS.]
NYPD! You're under arrest! You didn't think anyone would figure out, did you, huh? Huh? - Get up! - [GROANS.]
You can't prove anything.
We can prove you were violating a restraining order and resisting arrest.
Which means we can question your daughter.
We'll start there, see where that takes us, huh? [SOLEMN MUSIC.]
I'm impressed you showed up.
It's kind of fun slumming it.
I wasn't going to let you negotiate alone - [STATIC BUZZING.]
- And I prefer to meet this particular associate in public.
- Sounds dangerous.
- All zealots are.
But it looks like he sent his errand boy instead.
[MUTTERS.]
Shit.
Sorry the Doctor couldn't be here.
- This came together so quickly.
- Is everything okay? The buyer, it's Jeremy, James's tutor from Maine.
- Jeremy.
- Hello.
- Did he see you? - Woody Hammond.
So, the data you sent me was very impressive.
I knew the Doctor would be impressed with the rarity of this talent.
126 is a natural.
Totally self-taught.
No training.
I didn't think he could be involved with buying people.
We'll use him to take them all down.
It'd be great to meet her.
If you're not ready to make a deal, why I didn't say that.
Well, you know my price.
Either we have a deal or we don't.
[DISSONANT MUSIC.]
Does cash on delivery work for you? Indeed it does.
Yeah for your half.
My colleague misspoke.
I know better than either of you what she's worth, and you said yourself that he sent his errand boy.
So, why don't you go back to your boss and tell him you're gonna need double of what you agreed to? I'll let you know what he says.
- He's coming.
- Okay hey, hang back.
If we lose him now, we may not see him again.
So I won't lose him.
You're losing your edge.
He agreed far too quickly.
We'll get more.
Which means another meeting.
Are you trying to torture me? Maybe - but I just doubled your profit.
- [SCOFFS.]
Right.
[TENSE MUSIC.]
[MUMBLES.]
Sorry Uh [PHONE DINGS.]
Hello [BUS ENGINE REVS.]
[PHONE DINGS.]
Sorry, do you have the time, please? Yeah, it's [PHONE BEEPING.]
[DARK AMBIENT MUSIC.]
[SLOW, MUTED BEEPING.]
[RELIEVED SIGH.]
[EXHALES.]
So, we can intercept his calls and texts, but he's on edge.
Okay.
As long as he doesn't ditch his phone.
- Yeah.
- [PHONE JINGLES.]
His suspicion might work to our advantage.
His boss must be a Dreamer too.
[MUSIC INTENSIFIES.]
- Nice hotel.
- Yeah.
GPS says he's here.
[TENSE MUSIC.]
Must be in his room already.
If we need a cover story - Checking in, please.
- Sure.
[MOMENTOUS TONE.]
She's my cherry pie Put a smile on your face ten miles wide Looks so good Bring a tear to your eye Sweet cherry pie Sweet cherry pie [WARRANT'S "CHERRY PIE".]
[CHEERING, SCREAMING.]
Whoo! Swing it! [COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYING OVER RADIO.]
Hey.
New record.
Well, I know a thing or two about riding.
[WALLOPS AND GRUNTS.]
[GROANS.]
Doesn't it get old? [CHUCKLES.]
Just passing time.
Still, you should make it a challenge.
- I think that's the boss.
- Looks like it, yeah.
Drink? It's almost morning for me.
You're not my only stop.
Probably don't wanna spend any more time with me than you have to.
I know you want to come home, but this isn't punishment, Jeremy.
I'm sorry I've been hard on you.
Losing Tess was a big blow.
Big blow right over my head.
I need you here in New York.
Tess is still in the city.
I can feel it.
Don't get discouraged.
I found someone else.
Good.
Can always use new recruits.
She's as talented as Tess.
Hm.
That would be surprising.
I saw the data myself.
Data? From whom? I know how you feel about the brokers, but this one is really special.
- If we can liberate her - Which broker? Taylor Bennett.
[GRUNTS.]
What are you doing talking to Taylor Bennett? Dr.
Ginsburg If she's involved, it's a con.
The Dreamer is the right age.
She's young and healthy.
And you have made deals with Bennett before.
Tess isn't the only one who can help us reach our goals Unless our goals have changed.
How much is Bennett asking? - Four times the usual rate.
- [SCOFFS.]
I know it's a lot, Dr.
Ginsburg, but if she's as powerful as her data suggests Let's see, you met with Bennett, she demanded an outrageous price, you said you'd get right back to her, and came straight here.
You don't even realize you've been followed.
- That's impossible.
- No, it isn't.
This place is burned.
Forget Bennett and her Dreamer.
Focus on finding Tess.
[DARK AMBIENT MUSIC.]
[EERIE MUSIC.]
Burton, hey hey Him! [GRUNTING.]
[GRUNTS.]
Burton, wake up! Hey! Burton! [MUSIC INTENSIFIES.]
- Wake up! - [GASPS.]
[BOTH BREATHING INTENSELY.]
Thank God.
And they're still looking for me, apparently, Jeremy and whoever this Dr.
Ginsburg is.
Yeah.
[SIGHS.]
I thought if we could take down Taylor Bennett, we'd finally be safe, but this web, it it it just keeps expanding.
There's always someone else.
I'm not gonna let anything happen to you, okay? And I'm not gonna stop until I find every last one of those bastards.
But we can't even take Bennett now.
The deal's off.
He said it.
We'll find another way.
I know why this is my fight.
I'd do anything for James, and and Taka, I understand, but you you've risked just as much, and you're unshakeable.
[CHUCKLES.]
Why are you doing this? Some things are worth fighting for.
[GENTLE GUITAR MUSIC.]
Hey, you want me to go with you? I've spent a lot of time in hospitals, so I get it.
He's not gonna do anything to Christy, okay? We got him.
Until he posts bail or a judge releases him.
This is a win, Alex.
You really believe that? Look, I just bought us enough time to connect the dots, okay? And we have DNA evidence.
We nabbed him on a restraining order, Taka.
He'll be out in a couple days max.
And for those couple of days, he can't hurt or kill anybody.
That's not enough.
- Well, you have a better plan? - Yeah, kill him, destroy him.
He shouldn't be allowed to walk the face of the earth.
You think I don't want that too? All I could think about today was squeezing the trigger and putting a bullet in his head.
He's a coward, and if he had the guts to come at me himself instead of using Christy, I would have killed him.
I know but we are cops, Alex, and we're gonna find a way to put him behind bars for good.
He should hope so.
[TENSE MUSIC.]
[SIREN WAILING.]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER, MONITOR BEEPING.]
- [MUMBLES.]
- Hi.
How you feeling? [WHISPERS.]
Oh not so good.
What happened? You were sleepwalking and you took a bad fall.
I've never done that before.
I know.
[SNIFFLES.]
Alex, I had this nightmare, this [SOFT, REFLECTIVE MUSIC.]
This this creature, this this this horrible man.
He got ahold of me.
He made me say things and do things.
I didn't want to, but I couldn't stop him.
He was so strong.
Alex? What is it? What aren't you telling me? That case, the one that I couldn't tell you about He's the guy.
He's the one that was in your [SIGHS.]
that was in your nightmare.
[OMINOUS MUSIC.]
- That doesn't make sense.
- I know.
I don't understand it either, but this man can somehow enter people's dreams and force them to commit murder.
He did it to Taka's girlfriend, and now he's tried to do it to you.
But it's not gonna happen again.
We got him, Chris.
We arrested him And I'm gonna make him pay for this.
I swear to you I will.
I love you.
Still haven't heard from Bennett.
When you do, it won't be good news.
What? The deal for Dreamer 126 is off.
No, that's not how it works.
They're supposed to make a counteroffer.
The boss doesn't trust Bennett.
He heard she was involved and pulled the plug.
- Sh - Please don't.
I shouldn't have pushed so hard on the price.
At least we know some of the players from the demand side.
Yes, Jeremy Connors was James's tutor, and his boss was a man named Dr.
Ginsburg.
- [CHUCKLES.]
Ginsburg? - You know him? Stanislaus Ginsburg was a dream research pioneer.
Brilliant and a bit of a demagogue.
Well, there should be a photo.
My parents contacted him in the '80s, trying to help my sister.
They were concerned about the intensity of her dreaming.
They thought he could help.
Your sister was his patient? She was going to be, and then he died.
Suicide, or so it says, but - It's him.
- Yeah.
That's impossible.
He's been dead for 30 years.
Well, either we just dreamed with a ghost, or Dr.
Ginsburg is alive.
Somebody went to a lot of trouble to make make us think he's dead.
And if he's alive, he's gonna be much harder to track down.
Well, I don't even think he's in the country.
I mean, he was talking about a time difference.
So, we make him come to us.
Plan stays the same.
We use Bennett to broker a deal with Ginsburg, and they both rot in prison for the rest of their lives.
But I thought the deal was off.
For Dreamer 126.
We get Ginsburg to New York by offering a new deal.
For what? You mean who.
[PERCUSSIVE MUSIC BUILDS.]
We're gonna give the Doctor exactly what he wants - Me.
- [INTENSE MUSIC.]
- Isn't that right? - Christy, baby, wake up! [SCREAMS.]
[ITEMS THUD, CLATTER.]
Shadowman thinks he's unstoppable.
We need to end this, Taka.
He wants to make this personal we'll make it personal.
- Is my dad in trouble? - He could be.
I just need to make sure he's not gonna hurt anybody, - including you or your mother.
- He would never hurt me.
Taylor Bennett is the one who hired Shadowman.
I wanna make a deal with you.
I have the best intel on Taylor Bennett, and although I am out of favor, she would sooner deal with me than any of you.
- I'm here to help.
- Who the hell are you? A Dreamer, like you.
- [GLASS SHATTERS.]
- [GRUNTS.]
If you follow me, I'll kill you.
When was the last time you saw your father? I already told you.
I'm not allowed to see him.
Your mom's not here, I believe.
You know, you can tell me.
There's nothing to tell.
I mean, do you meet at a park or at his apartment? I don't meet him at all.
[EERIE MUSIC.]
[CHUCKLES.]
You're a good kid you know, straight-A student.
- I know you wanna help.
- I wanna go home.
Okay, we just need to talk to him, Emily.
You can't keep me here.
I'm not an adult.
I know you're not allowed to keep me here without my mom Sit down! [OMINOUS MUSIC.]
Look, I know you wanna protect your father, - but he is a murderer.
- That's not true.
[THUDS AND SCREAMS.]
The man who killed her is Sam Morrison, your dad's boss at the mower factory.
Why are you doing this? - I didn't do it, your dad did.
- You're lying.
He comes to people in their dreams.
He gave Mr.
Morrison nightmares until he murdered his wife.
My dad wouldn't do that.
He did more.
This little piggy had none.
- Please, don't make me - Look.
Look! - [GUNSHOT.]
- [WATER SPLASHES, DRONES.]
[SCREAMS.]
Why are you doing this to me? You need to see the truth, Emily! You're a monster! I'll show you the real monster.
That woman with the chemicals eating her face away, she was my mother.
Your father killed her.
He drove the woman I loved to murder her.
That's who your father really is.
No no, it can't be! Ask him about what you just saw.
Ask him about my mother.
That's not my dad! 'Cause that's the real Tom Dolan.
[SCREAMS.]
[SCREECHING.]
[EERIE STRING MUSIC INTENSIFIES.]
[DRAMATIC TONE.]
[TENSE MUSIC.]
Taka Taka! Ta Taka! Emily! [CAR HONKS.]
[PANTING.]
- My dad, he was - It's okay.
It's okay, Emily.
You're safe.
- Where am I? - You ran into the street.
I did? You were sleepwalking.
You almost got run over.
[DARK MUSIC.]
Look, you don't need to tail Emily all day.
- She's in school.
- I saved the girl's life.
I guess I feel a responsibility to make sure nothing else happens.
Okay, I know what happened last night was Wrong? - [MUMBLES.]
Don't touch me.
- Look, I told you.
If she was still stonewalling me in the dream.
I had to do something to get her to call her dad.
We have Sutton watching our every move.
- If anything had happened - Yeah, but it didn't.
She could have died, Taka! The things I had to show Emily, yeah, they were tough to see.
Oh, you think? But it got to her, which means she'll call him, she sets up a meeting, we get Dolan.
I don't know what's more disturbing, the fact that you're okay putting this girl's life in danger or that you're not freaked out that you made her sleepwalk into oncoming traffic! I told you, I didn't mean for it to happen.
Oh, uh, what, she was supposed to wait at the curb, look both ways first? We see him with Emily, we can arrest him on the spot.
That is a real world plan.
That's what we've been waiting for.
Not like this! [DARK AMBIENT MUSIC.]
[GROWLING.]
Brutus, I think you missed me.
[GROWLING CONTINUES.]
This is quite the welcome.
[GRUNTS.]
Easy there, big guy.
- He's clean.
- But still dangerous.
Hey, you're the one who tried to have me killed, remember? Not the other way around? Which makes your visit even more suspicious.
We swim in a very small pond.
I thought we could make nice and agree not to eat each other.
- No.
- Okay.
I I admit, I took it a step too far with Whittaker, but so did you.
Do you know how much you cost me, not just in money that I contributed to his campaign, but in time spent clearing obstacles to make his election even possible? Honestly, I never understood why you put your eggs in his particular basket.
A woman like you could do so much better.
Shut up.
Escort him out.
You're not interested in a massively talented Dreamer? [SOLEMN MUSIC.]
[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING.]
Is Alex coming? No, she's keeping track on Dolan's daughter, and we figure if she contacts him, I don't know, we might get lucky.
The girlfriend okay? Yeah, Christy's stable.
Uh, pretty bad concussion.
Alex thinks she'll be discharged in a day or two.
[SIGHS.]
Feels like Dolan is closing in on us and everyone around us.
No, the things he had Christy say he knew exactly what he was doing.
It's a hell of a way to deliver a message.
The message isn't nearly as interesting as the messenger.
Yeah, you might feel differently if the threats were leveled at you.
On a personal level, yes, but there are hundreds of examples of people communicating verbally using other Dreamers.
What's unusual is Mr.
Dolan's ability to completely transform his appearance.
Yeah, that he can definitely do.
It's an undocumented skill set.
So is getting people to off someone or kill themselves.
Well, I'm starting to believe it's possible.
There's sleepwalking, sleep-driving, sleep-eating.
Some percentage of any of those events could easily be manipulated by Dreamers.
It's one thing to get someone to eat a box of cookies.
It's another to get them to jump off of a building.
It's just a matter of degree.
No, Dolan enjoys hurting people.
It's not the same.
[DARK AMBIENT MUSIC.]
You okay? I just really wanna nail this guy.
We all do.
But Taylor Bennett's the real target, okay? She's the money.
We focus on getting her and she'll give us Dolan.
Sure, Bennett'll roll on Dolan in a heartbeat if we can arrest her.
Which we can do now, thanks to Woody.
[GROANS.]
I don't like it.
But he knows the human trafficking business better than any one of us.
Which is why we can't trust him.
Woody has no loyalty, except to himself.
It's bad enough we have to rely on Bill.
[SOFT INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC.]
Hey, there it is again.
Bill Look, I know you prefer to do everything alone, okay? I get it.
But like it or not, we need Woody.
And we're gonna need something to arrest Bennett.
He worked at Hull-Bedford when they tried to sell James.
Do you really think I'd suggest this if Woody wasn't our best chance of getting Bennett? [GRUNTS.]
You have no reason to trust me, but in all my time at Hull-Bedford, I never saw anyone with this kind of ability.
This Dreamer is special.
You honestly think I'd buy anything from you? Not buy: sell and split the profit.
There was a memorial for Nicholas Hull.
I sent flowers because I can't stand to be in the same room with most of those people.
I have an incredible asset, Taylor.
All I need is a buyer.
One transaction.
You said it yourself.
I have no reason to trust you.
Do you trust Bill Boerg's data? Boerg? [CHUCKLES.]
I've been to that well, and it's dry.
I can log into the drom server right now and show you.
You're working with Boerg? More like using him as an exit strategy.
May I? Boerg has stumbled on the mother of all Dreamers, and he doesn't want you to know about her.
He's been begging me to invest.
Why would he hide anything from me? Because he's working with Detective Matsuyama and the FBI informer from the Firm to have you arrested.
The FBI investigation is closed.
But Detective Matsuyama knows that you've had some merchandise go missing recently.
Lainie is her name, right? [CHUCKLES SOFTLY.]
Why would Bill Boerg tell you he's working with the cops? Because he thinks I'll help them because I hate you.
You do hate me.
Not as much as I wanna get out of this business and disappear forever.
And with Dreamer 126 We're talking millions.
You find the right buyer, and your half will take the sting out of losing Whittaker.
[INTENSE PERCUSSIVE MUSIC.]
Every Dreamer is assigned a numerical code.
No names are used.
So, anyone who saw these numbers, they'd never know it's me? All they would know is that Dreamer 126 is very, very powerful.
Despite what you may think of me, I would never betray you, Tess.
You gave your data to Bennett.
But we saved Lainie.
I know.
I'm just frustrated.
Dolan's on the loose, Bennett's free, and Sabine is When my sister was taken, nobody came to rescue her.
I know how personal this is for you.
It is for me too.
But as you said, Woody's motives are less noble.
Of all people, you don't think we should trust him? [SOLEMN SYNTH MUSIC.]
I want to make sure no one is abducted or trafficked ever again.
Do you think that's what drives Woody? What drives Woody is to save his own ass.
But right now, taking down Bennett will help him do that.
So, we agree? Two meetings: one to set the price and one to verify delivery and payment.
[GROANS.]
It's like a drug deal.
I'll handle everything else.
That's what was so useful about Hull-Bedford.
They took care of all the details.
If something went wrong, there was a buffer.
Nothing will go wrong.
Dreamer 126 trusts me.
And before you think about sending your thugs to Boerg, - she's not there.
- [CHUCKLES SOFTLY.]
- Is she sedated? - No, and she won't need to be.
Makes transport less complicated.
You have a buyer in mind? You staying with your friend? The handsome black man that rescued you from the fire? Why? Are you planning on sending somebody after me again? Deliver Dreamer 126 and we'll let bygones be bygones.
[BEEPING RAPIDLY.]
- This thing really works? - Uh, theoretically.
If I can keep close enough to the buyer.
How close? For how long? Within a few feet, for as long as it takes.
Ah, it won't be easy.
Dimitri's tech hasn't failed me yet.
Have you heard from Woody? He'll be here, trust me.
You said that an hour ago.
I know we all agreed to this plan.
I'm gonna go check on James.
Any news on Dolan? Ah, you know, Alex can't stand to be at the hospital, so she's been tailing his daughter all day.
Still nothing.
Well, she'll wanna see him eventually.
I was hoping for more, uh immediate results.
I went into Emily Dolan's dream last night.
Oh she talks to him there? No but after what happened to Alex and Christy, I needed to show this girl what her father does.
Uh wait [STAMMERS.]
you you showed her the murders? Just in her dream.
I mean, we we we do it all the time with crime scene photos.
You know, a cop tells you your your father's a killer, no one wants to believe that, so we need to we need to find a way to make the crime real.
And how did she take it? She ran out of the building into traffic.
She was sleepwalking? You did that? It wasn't like I meant for it to happen.
And she's okay.
You know, Alex was right there.
I made sure of that.
You're damn lucky she didn't get hurt.
All I did was show her the truth.
Made her watch what her father actually did.
To Sabine and your mother.
[EERIE MUSIC.]
Yeah.
Yeah, and the others too.
Well, maybe that's how Dolan sees it too.
Yeah, he's just showing people the truth: - his truth.
- Are you comparing me - to Dolan? - No.
- Good.
- I'm saying you've lost a lot because of one man.
Yeah, and now we're gonna nail him.
I understand your anger.
I didn't say using it was a good idea.
Look, if Dolan took everything from you, everything, you'd be doing this and more.
None of this is gonna bring back your mother, Taka, or get Sabine out of prison.
No but it'll save someone else's life, because if we don't stop him, Dolan will kill again.
You're saying the best present you ever received was a macramé plant holder? Yeah, she was so proud.
- She made it all by herself.
- Hm.
That was the last Christmas I spent with family.
My best present is a magnet.
[UPBEAT POP MUSIC PLAYING OVER RADIO.]
Well, let's hear it.
My sister gave it to me.
It has my favorite quote from Carl Jung.
"Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.
" I know it sounds lame, but she knows I was really inspired by Jung, so it means a lot to me.
Just like your plant holder.
I'm really enjoying talking to you, Rebecca but I need to make a quick phone call.
No, please.
Don't go anywhere.
[LINE RINGING.]
I just met a very lovely woman.
I have to give it to you.
Rebecca is definitely one of my types.
I'm not sure I understand.
Have me followed again, and Dreamer 126 disappears.
[TENSE MUSIC.]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER, BACKGROUND NOISE.]
Yes, we are running down a lead.
We are working our assigned cases, Lieutenant.
Scout's honor.
Home again, home again.
Nice of you to finally show up.
Sorry for the delay.
I was being followed.
- What? By who? - Don't worry, I shook her off.
So the plan worked? Like a charm.
She took the bait.
And did you? 'Scuse me? What? Somebody has to name the elephant in the room.
I'm sure Woody was sincere when he agreed to help us carry out this operation.
Absolutely.
I made her an offer she couldn't refuse, and thanks to me, the deal is on.
[DARK AMBIENT MUSIC.]
So, did Bennett say who the buyer is? Uh, no, just that I be contacted when the meeting was set.
So, does the aerodynamic design decrease drag going in and out of REM sleep? There's nanotechnology embedded in the pods.
Ah, using technology to unlock the secrets of dreaming.
You should try it.
You might be surprised what it reveals about yourself.
Yeah when it comes to self-knowledge, I prefer ignorance.
And besides, I don't wanna be napping when Taylor's minions call.
And she has no idea you're helping us? Oh, no, she knows that.
I told her myself.
[SCOFFS.]
Let me say, I always knew this was a bad idea.
- Why did you tell her that? - [SCOFFS.]
She'd be stupid to trust me, and Taylor Bennett's not stupid.
We had a cover story, okay? Boerg asked you to help him recruit Dreamers.
She would have seen through that in a second.
Bennett knows that Boerg is not stupid.
- Oh, thank you, Woody.
- Did you tell her it was me? Give away my identity? - Of course not.
- Well, you told her everything else.
For all I know, you told her about James.
If anything goes wrong, I'm the first person she's gonna take out.
If anyone saw me coming here, there would be no red flags, thanks to my cover story.
I understand the strategy, okay? It's just not what we discussed.
Yeah, well, it came to me when I had a gun shoved in my face.
You're fine with me putting my ass on the line, but trusting me that's too much to ask.
[SIGHS.]
[SNIFFLES.]
[EXHALES, CHUCKLES.]
[MUSIC SOFTENS.]
Sometimes I forget how much everyone else is at risk.
[CHUCKLES.]
Bennett's not the first to try to have me killed.
Can't say I'm surprised.
No one's depending on me, Tess, but James needs you.
You need to stay far away from Bennett.
[SOFTLY.]
I can't.
There's no reason for you to get caught up in this.
I've been caught up in it my whole life.
[GLASS CLINKING.]
Did you know Charlotte's not my mother? Of course you did.
You never told me? It wasn't exactly my place, and you were still a kid when I left Aeskyton.
I haven't been a kid for a long time.
I know.
You know anything else about my parents? Where where they lived, who they were, anything? No, I was ten, maybe 11, when you showed up at Aeskyton.
[EXHALES SHARPLY.]
[CHUCKLES.]
You know, from the moment you arrived, you were the center of attention.
Everybody loved you.
That wasn't love.
What Charlotte did, that wasn't love.
Look, I know that Charlotte has her flaws, but She locked me in a mental ward, Woody.
She tried to make me forget James existed.
I guess I wanna think better of her than that.
Have you talked to her? Her voicemail is off.
She left Aeskyton.
No information about where she's gone.
She's good at that, withholding facts.
[SIGHS.]
You know anything else about me? How how I got pregnant? Look, if I did, I would tell you.
I would.
And I'm not defending Charlotte, but if she had not let me stay at Aeskyton [INHALES DEEPLY.]
God knows where my parents would've dumped me.
[EXHALES.]
You never went home, did you? Not for summer, not for holidays.
Some rich troublemakers got sent to Swiss boarding school.
I got sent to Aeskyton.
[BOTH CHUCKLE.]
[LAUGHS.]
Yeah.

Emily's on the move.
She left her jacket.
Look at that.
It worked.
[SOLEMN STRING MUSIC.]
Yeah, we got a 10-52 V.

She's a minor.
Order of protection against her father.
Everything okay, Peanut? Yeah.
I don't know why I called.
[CHUCKLES.]
You know you can talk to me.
You sounded worried on the phone.
It's nothing.
[CHUCKLES.]
School stuff.
You mean the scholarship? - No.
- I mean, I've been trying They have to give you something in writing.
- Okay - And I'm talking like a contract, not some email.
Looks like he's getting agitated.
We've got backup.
No, he makes a move, I'm going in.
- I'm not letting him get away.
- Neither am I.
Sometimes people with a lot of money, they make promises, and they think they don't have to keep them.
[EERIE MUSIC.]
Like the people you work for? Don't you worry.
No one backs out of a promise they make to Tom Dolan.
All right? Your old boss, Mr.
Morrison he made promises he didn't keep.
That's what you said once.
Why are you asking about Sam Morrison? I just I had this dream.
I looked it up online.
He told the police that he was asleep the whole time, that he was having a nightmare.
And I know it sounds crazy, but I dreamed about it too.
[MUTTERING.]
Don't you worry a single second about Sam Morrison.
- Dad - No Did you do it? Did you make him kill his wife? How could you ever think I'd have anything to do with that? Because I dreamed about you.
You look different.
You're tall and skinny and your face is all stretched and broken.
But it's you, isn't it? I'm so sorry, Peanut.
[SHAKY BREATHING.]
I never wanted you to see me like that.
I just No, we can't wait.
We gotta make a move.
When he sees we're there for him, he'll run.
So we'll be ready.
Come here.
Hey, come here.
You have to believe me.
Everything I ever did, I did for you, okay? Run, Daddy.
You have to run now.
[ITEMS CLATTER.]
- [WHIMPERS.]
- Stay down! [GRUNTS, GROANS.]
NYPD! You're under arrest! You didn't think anyone would figure out, did you, huh? Huh? - Get up! - [GROANS.]
You can't prove anything.
We can prove you were violating a restraining order and resisting arrest.
Which means we can question your daughter.
We'll start there, see where that takes us, huh? [SOLEMN MUSIC.]
I'm impressed you showed up.
It's kind of fun slumming it.
I wasn't going to let you negotiate alone - [STATIC BUZZING.]
- And I prefer to meet this particular associate in public.
- Sounds dangerous.
- All zealots are.
But it looks like he sent his errand boy instead.
[MUTTERS.]
Shit.
Sorry the Doctor couldn't be here.
- This came together so quickly.
- Is everything okay? The buyer, it's Jeremy, James's tutor from Maine.
- Jeremy.
- Hello.
- Did he see you? - Woody Hammond.
So, the data you sent me was very impressive.
I knew the Doctor would be impressed with the rarity of this talent.
126 is a natural.
Totally self-taught.
No training.
I didn't think he could be involved with buying people.
We'll use him to take them all down.
It'd be great to meet her.
If you're not ready to make a deal, why I didn't say that.
Well, you know my price.
Either we have a deal or we don't.
[DISSONANT MUSIC.]
Does cash on delivery work for you? Indeed it does.
Yeah for your half.
My colleague misspoke.
I know better than either of you what she's worth, and you said yourself that he sent his errand boy.
So, why don't you go back to your boss and tell him you're gonna need double of what you agreed to? I'll let you know what he says.
- He's coming.
- Okay hey, hang back.
If we lose him now, we may not see him again.
So I won't lose him.
You're losing your edge.
He agreed far too quickly.
We'll get more.
Which means another meeting.
Are you trying to torture me? Maybe - but I just doubled your profit.
- [SCOFFS.]
Right.

So, we can intercept his calls and texts, but he's on edge.
Okay.
As long as he doesn't ditch his phone.
- Yeah.
- [PHONE JINGLES.]
His suspicion might work to our advantage.
His boss must be a Dreamer too.

Just passing time.
Still, you should make it a challenge.
- I think that's the boss.
- Looks like it, yeah.
Drink? It's almost morning for me.
You're not my only stop.
Probably don't wanna spend any more time with me than you have to.
I know you want to come home, but this isn't punishment, Jeremy.
I'm sorry I've been hard on you.
Losing Tess was a big blow.
Big blow right over my head.
I need you here in New York.
Tess is still in the city.
I can feel it.
Don't get discouraged.
I found someone else.
Good.
Can always use new recruits.
She's as talented as Tess.
Hm.
That would be surprising.
I saw the data myself.
Data? From whom? I know how you feel about the brokers, but this one is really special.
- If we can liberate her - Which broker? Taylor Bennett.
[GRUNTS.]
What are you doing talking to Taylor Bennett? Dr.
Ginsburg If she's involved, it's a con.
The Dreamer is the right age.
She's young and healthy.
And you have made deals with Bennett before.
Tess isn't the only one who can help us reach our goals Unless our goals have changed.
How much is Bennett asking? - Four times the usual rate.
- [SCOFFS.]
I know it's a lot, Dr.
Ginsburg, but if she's as powerful as her data suggests Let's see, you met with Bennett, she demanded an outrageous price, you said you'd get right back to her, and came straight here.
You don't even realize you've been followed.
- That's impossible.
- No, it isn't.
This place is burned.
Forget Bennett and her Dreamer.
Focus on finding Tess.

And they're still looking for me, apparently, Jeremy and whoever this Dr.
Ginsburg is.
Yeah.
[SIGHS.]
I thought if we could take down Taylor Bennett, we'd finally be safe, but this web, it it it just keeps expanding.
There's always someone else.
I'm not gonna let anything happen to you, okay? And I'm not gonna stop until I find every last one of those bastards.
But we can't even take Bennett now.
The deal's off.
He said it.
We'll find another way.
I know why this is my fight.
I'd do anything for James, and and Taka, I understand, but you you've risked just as much, and you're unshakeable.
[CHUCKLES.]
Why are you doing this? Some things are worth fighting for.
[GENTLE GUITAR MUSIC.]
Hey, you want me to go with you? I've spent a lot of time in hospitals, so I get it.
He's not gonna do anything to Christy, okay? We got him.
Until he posts bail or a judge releases him.
This is a win, Alex.
You really believe that? Look, I just bought us enough time to connect the dots, okay? And we have DNA evidence.
We nabbed him on a restraining order, Taka.
He'll be out in a couple days max.
And for those couple of days, he can't hurt or kill anybody.
That's not enough.
- Well, you have a better plan? - Yeah, kill him, destroy him.
He shouldn't be allowed to walk the face of the earth.
You think I don't want that too? All I could think about today was squeezing the trigger and putting a bullet in his head.
He's a coward, and if he had the guts to come at me himself instead of using Christy, I would have killed him.
I know but we are cops, Alex, and we're gonna find a way to put him behind bars for good.
He should hope so.

He got ahold of me.
He made me say things and do things.
I didn't want to, but I couldn't stop him.
He was so strong.
Alex? What is it? What aren't you telling me? That case, the one that I couldn't tell you about He's the guy.
He's the one that was in your [SIGHS.]

I don't understand it either, but this man can somehow enter people's dreams and force them to commit murder.
He did it to Taka's girlfriend, and now he's tried to do it to you.
But it's not gonna happen again.
We got him, Chris.
We arrested him And I'm gonna make him pay for this.
I swear to you I will.
I love you.
Still haven't heard from Bennett.
When you do, it won't be good news.
What? The deal for Dreamer 126 is off.
No, that's not how it works.
They're supposed to make a counteroffer.
The boss doesn't trust Bennett.
He heard she was involved and pulled the plug.
- Sh - Please don't.
I shouldn't have pushed so hard on the price.
At least we know some of the players from the demand side.
Yes, Jeremy Connors was James's tutor, and his boss was a man named Dr.
Ginsburg.
- [CHUCKLES.]
Ginsburg? - You know him? Stanislaus Ginsburg was a dream research pioneer.
Brilliant and a bit of a demagogue.
Well, there should be a photo.
My parents contacted him in the '80s, trying to help my sister.
They were concerned about the intensity of her dreaming.
They thought he could help.
Your sister was his patient? She was going to be, and then he died.
Suicide, or so it says, but - It's him.
- Yeah.
That's impossible.
He's been dead for 30 years.
Well, either we just dreamed with a ghost, or Dr.
Ginsburg is alive.
Somebody went to a lot of trouble to make make us think he's dead.
And if he's alive, he's gonna be much harder to track down.
Well, I don't even think he's in the country.
I mean, he was talking about a time difference.
So, we make him come to us.
Plan stays the same.
We use Bennett to broker a deal with Ginsburg, and they both rot in prison for the rest of their lives.
But I thought the deal was off.
For Dreamer 126.
We get Ginsburg to New York by offering a new deal.
For what? You mean who.
[PERCUSSIVE MUSIC BUILDS.]
We're gonna give the Doctor exactly what he wants - Me.
