Allegiance (2024) s02e10 Episode Script
Mercy's End

Previously, on Allegiance
[TENILLE] Lincoln Michaels found
in his bathtub this morning.
[AC-OC] There's a convicted
killer living in the roof
of a man who was murdered.
Get a confession. Make it happen.
"I murdered Lincoln Michaels."
You're not a big fan of
Assistant Commissioner Campbell.
Complaints about racial profiling,
failing to investigate leads,
because he'd already decided
who was guilty.
We bring enough of these forward,
the CFPC will have to clean house.
My husband is dead!
[CAROLYN RAGING]
- [SHATTERING]
- [GASPING]
You want to tell me what happened?
When Wes was diagnosed,
Dr. Luo assured us it didn't
have to be a death sentence.
She recommended Malazadine.
Six days later,
Wes was dead.
[SABRINA] Hundreds of
patients were taking Malazadine
and not getting the meds they needed.
Dr. Luo, I am so sorry.
I want to make sure this
never happens to anyone else.
[GABBY] Looks like a jumper.
[SABRINA] That's Carolyn McDermott.
There's no way she jumped.
It doesn't make sense.
That she would jump?
Her husband died, she was grieving.
She didn't strike me as suicidal.
She had hope.
She was facing charges.
But probably not jail time,
and she had reconciled with Dr. Luo.
I was in the room with this woman.
She didn't seem like someone
who was gonna harm herself.
So how'd she end up here?
[♪♪♪]
[♪♪♪]
Hey. Nothing unusual on the bridge?
No one matching her description
in the last 24 hours.
Run the cams on King
George and Columbia too.
She drives a blue
Camry, license plate
three-Delta-two, X-ray-two-six.
[KARA] What's this?
Carolyn McDermott. The theory is that
she may have jumped from the Pattullo,
but we're not seeing any footage.
Well, the current could've
carried her from the Port Mann.
I'll check that too.
Meantime, your priority is with Zak
interrogation of the Loewen gang.
- I'll head right down.
- Thanks, Gill.
- Yeah.
Oh, by the way
your probation review has
been scheduled for tomorrow.
Hey. You got a sec?
Yeah. What's up?
Um, look, I just wanted to
give you a bit of a heads up.
Judge Ryan is planning
on bringing a civil suit
against you and the CFPC.
Judge Ryan?
The father of the spree killer.
I know who that is. A civil suit?
CFPC will cover all your costs.
I was cleared by the C.I.U.
Sometimes, the family
doesn't want to believe
there was no alternative
to lethal force.
I didn't want to use my weapon.
It was either him or Zak.
I'll talk to you later, okay?
- Hey.
- Hey.
Listen. Carolyn McDermott's injuries
are consistent with
drowning, but not with a jump
or fall from a bridge.
Well, how can you tell?
The impact trauma, from
that kind of height?
You'd be seeing bone fractures
or, at the very least,
internal organ damage.
There were no signs
of impact on the body.
Okay, so, not suicide?
[ZAK] She could have
walked into the river.
The pockets of her pants
and jacket were distended,
and looked like they'd
been weighted with stones.
[SABRINA] Really?
And if it wasn't suicide,
where's the motive?
I'm still waiting on tox reports,
maybe we'll have more answers then.
Just to cover our bases,
maybe we could check out Carolyn's house
for evidence of suicide
versus foul play?
I know where she keeps the key.
- It shouldn't take long.
- All right.
I'll start in interrogation without you,
but you need to be back A.S.A.P.
[♪♪♪]
It's just I keep thinking
about her state of mind.
I mean, you were with her after
she reconciled with Dr. Luo.
I drove her home.
So how did she seem?
We drove by one of those Escape Rooms.
She said it felt like she had
just busted out of another one.
Her husband loved them.
And she was gonna go to
one with friends last night.
Right? Positive memories,
forward thinking.
I hear you
but no forced entry,
no signs of struggle.
Anti-depressants. It's almost empty.
Overdose?
I mean, it's possible.
It's not likely, not
with this medication.
So why take the pills, fill the tub,
and then go to the river,
and fill your pockets with stones?
After taking the trouble
to put on makeup and do your hair?
Sabrina.
That's Carolyn and her husband.
[♪♪♪]
Vince, remember that case I
mentioned a couple months ago?
Graeme Benton
he was squatting in
Lincoln Michaels' mansion,
- he confessed to the murder?
- Yeah, I remember.
We found Michaels in the bathtub.
A nearly-empty pill bottle and
a photo of a loved one nearby
it looked like a suicide at first, too.
But Carolyn was found in the river.
[SABRINA] Leaving her phone behind?
"I'm here. Didn't we say 8:30?
I'll meet you there."
Does any of this sound like
someone who wants to die?
If it wasn't suicide, someone's
gone to a lot of trouble.
[♪♪♪]
She's reaching out to friends,
family who came to
her husband's funeral.
She's getting ready for an evening out,
and suddenly, she drowns herself?
Something's off. Just
like with Lincoln Michaels.
We'll get a car, secure the
house, preserve the scene,
and get you back to detachment. Come on.
Yeah, there's someone I have to talk to.
Can you drop me somewhere first?
[DOOR BUZZER SOUNDING]
Graeme, thanks so much for coming in.
Yeah. I-I didn't think anybody
would take it seriously.
Take what seriously?
[SCOFFS] Oh. Okay.
Okay, great. Great. This is typical.
This is typical bullshit!
I mean, why would I even
think you'd do anything?
Do anything about what?
I didn't kill that man.
You made me confess.
All I said was that your
fingerprints and DNA evidence
were found on Michaels' body.
Of course they were.
I checked his pulse
when I found him dead.
Graeme, I didn't force you to confess.
I knew how it looked
me living up there, my record.
I was tired
you know, tired of
looking over my shoulder,
not knowing when I'd eat,
so, yeah, the first
time, I said I did it.
And then you had a follow-up interview.
Yeah, and that's when that guy
What guy?
Graeme, what happened at
the follow-up interview?
It's all in my letter.
- What letter?
- That, and what I heard that night.
What did you hear that night?
Graeme, Lincoln's killer
might be connected to
No. No way.
I want a lawyer this time.
Okay? This Legal Aid bullshit
I am still waiting on a
lawyer that never comes.
You get me a lawyer
then maybe we can talk.
He knew how guilty he looked.
He was tired of living in
the dark, barely existing.
[DOOR OPENS]
The Assistant
Commissioner's been briefed.
The Michaels investigation is
closed. We have a confession.
- Yeah, he wants to withdraw it.
- Of course he does. They all do.
Are you thinking about the
family who lost their father,
and what they'll go through if
you open a pointless investigation?
Graeme is willing to talk.
He has new information about that night,
if we reopen the case.
Eli, I have other appointments today.
Sir, maybe this is nothing,
but if these two deaths are related,
there could be more.
We could be dealing
with a serial killer.
- I think we should look into this.
- Sir?
Carolyn McDermott was
emotionally unhinged.
She was grieving her husband.
She was facing criminal charges.
She filled her pockets with rocks
and walked into the river.
I see no connection between
these two cases. Do you, Eli?
Of course, Benton wants
to recant his confession!
Prisons are full of innocent people.
Sir!
Are you saying that when a prisoner
insists that they're innocent,
it's proof that they're lying?
Could we consider that, sometimes,
we may have locked up the wrong people?
[♪♪♪]
I'm going to get back to work now,
and give you an
opportunity to do the same,
and to consider if you really intend
to disparage the integrity
of all the hard-working
men and women of the CFPC
with that kind of question.
[♪♪♪]
Sohal.
[♪♪♪]
What's going on here?
One day from your probation hearing?
She was going to see friends last night.
They had plans to meet,
but before they could,
something happened.
Let's wait for the tox report,
see if that changes things.
Yeah, we wait two days? Two weeks?
Maybe we wait for someone else to die?
Hang on. It's downstairs calling.
We've got suspect interviews stacked up.
Yeah, it's Kalaini.
I know, just keep them down there.
Use the second room if you have to.
[♪♪♪]
Yeah, we'll be right down.
- Where'd she go?
- She headed for the stairs.
What's going on?
[♪♪♪]
[PHONE RINGING]
Vince.
Sohal? Talk to me.
I'm following up on
Carolyn McDermott's case.
I heard the Assistant Commissioner
ordered you to stand down.
Yes, and I'm balancing that order
with my own moral and
professional judgment.
- Oh, Sabrina
- I am prioritizing public safety.
You have a probation
hearing tomorrow. Don't
Don't give Campbell a reason!
He is the reason I have to do this.
Carolyn McDermott is dead.
She would still be alive
if I had pushed back on
him when I had a chance.
Okay, at least tell me
where you're heading.
Sabrina?
- Sabrina
- [BEEP]
[DOOR BUZZES OPEN]
No! No, no
No. I told you I wasn't
gonna talk without a lawyer.
I did what I could, Graeme,
but my boss he doesn't believe you,
so if you want a lawyer,
you're gonna have to wait
for your Legal Aid
application to come through.
Yeah. Okay.
Thanks for coming by with the good news.
I believe you, Graeme.
I don't think that you're a killer.
I think the system's treated
you like shit since day one,
and I don't think
you've ever had a chance
at the life that you deserve.
[♪♪♪]
I think that the person
who killed Lincoln Michaels
is still out there
and I think that others are in danger.
We can help them, Graeme,
and then I can help you.
I was in the crawlspace
and I woke up because
I heard him crying, again,
then I heard him say,
"What are you doing here?"
Then I heard a noise
and then a voice.
Did you recognize the voice?
He said,
"It hurt me to see you
suffer so much today."
Those were the exact words?
"It hurt me to see you
suffer so much today"?
It was a male voice?
- How old?
- Not young, not old.
Did you see, or hear,
anything that might
help us identify him?
Just that Michaels knew him.
And that he saw him earlier that day?
Okay. It's a start.
Thanks, Graeme.
You're not gonna forget me, right?
No. I won't.
You put all these
details in your letter?
Everything I have is in that letter.
Who did you send it to at the CFPC?
I didn't send it to the cops.
[♪♪♪]
[BUZZING]
- Yo.
- Ish?
I need to know about
a civilian complaint,
filed by an inmate
at Surrey Corrections.
He confessed to a
murder he didn't commit
'cause Campbell pressured us to get it.
- [SIGHS] Sab.
- He wrote the details in a letter to C.I.U.
- Sab, we agreed.
- I'm not asking for access
to privileged documents. I'm
just pointing you in a direction.
What's in that letter could help us
find the real killer
before he kills again.
What's the inmate's name?
[♪♪♪]
[KARA] Campbell's
pissed. Sabrina showed up
to re-interview Lincoln
Michaels' daughter,
asking about the funeral guests
who came to his house that day.
She wants to know why her
father's case has been re-opened.
Campbell's talking consequences.
Where the hell is she?
[LINE RINGING]
You've reached Sabrina Sohal.
Leave a message after the beep. [BEEP]
Hey. Call me back. I mean it.
We're not just talking probation
this could be your job.
[SKYTRAIN RUMBLING OVERHEAD]
[♪♪♪]
[♪♪♪]
[VACUUM WHIRRING IN DISTANCE]
Hello?
[SHUTS VACUUM OFF]
Detective Sohal, CFPC.
We've met, haven't we?
Oh, after the service
for the Michaels family.
Stephen Rechy.
Nice to see you again, Detective.
I hope everything's all right?
Oh, I'm actually just following
up on the Michaels case.
- Oh?
- I'm looking for someone
who may have been at the funerals
for both Tabitha Michaels,
and Wesley McDermott, more recently.
Oh, yes. That was
a difficult service.
Uh, difficult?
For the family.
Cancer, but I understand
the loss was quite sudden.
Do you remember anyone
who may have been at both?
Male, maybe someone
who didn't belong?
He may have come on his own,
maybe he didn't know the family?
There are people who may
be lonely and isolated,
participating in the
meaningful moments of others
I'm sorry, if you'll just excuse me
- for one moment?
- Yeah, of course.
[PHONE BUZZING]
[STEPHEN] Joan. How are you holding up?
[CONVERSATION CONTINUES, INDISTINCT]
It's the first time I've
seen it without him
since the day he put it on.
[BREATH SHAKING]
I'm so sorry, Joan.
Would you like me to come by
and check in with you later?
Uh, maybe I could bring
you some of these flowers.
[JOAN] You don't have to do that.
It hurts me to see you in such pain.
[♪♪♪]
[JOAN] Thank you, Stephen.
[♪♪♪]
Uh, do you always check in personally
with your clients, after services?
Some of them.
[♪♪♪]
It's just you today?
Just me.
Stephen, thank you
so much for your time.
I'm needed back at detachment,
but I'll come back and follow up soon.
[♪♪♪]
[SHATTERING]
Gillian! I need your help.
[WHISPERING] Sabrina's gone solo
on an unsanctioned investigation.
I've been trying to
cover for her, but
Uh that's not like her.
Sabrina, where are you at?
[KEYS CLACKING]
Sabrina. Talk to me.
Okay. I can't GPS her phone
[DEEP BREATH]
but I can try and get
a ping off her vehicle.
- Text me the location.
- Okay. Yeah.
[♪♪♪]
Gillian, you're sure this is right?
Yeah, last-known
location was right there.
How accurate is the tracking?
Within 20 metres, but
it's not transmitting now.
[♪♪♪]
Do those trackers survive water?
Not for long.
Why?
Zak?
[♪♪♪]
Detective Sohal's cell phone
is currently unresponsive!
We lost contact with
her vehicle's GPS system
- approximately 40 minutes ago.
- [DOOR BANGS OPEN]
The last ping placed it
within 20 metres of the Fraser.
The tread pattern matches
her SUV's make and model.
The Marine Unit's deployed
a dive team to verify.
Why was she sent out
without her partner, without backup?
She wasn't sent anywhere on her own.
She disobeyed a direct
order to stand down.
- Whose order?
- Mine.
[♪♪♪]
What was she doing? What
was this investigation about?
She was looking for a connection
between the murders of Lincoln Michaels
and Carolyn McDermott.
[VINCE] And both deaths
had a similar stagings
the victims were grieving,
they were found drowned,
with presence of medication or alcohol,
and a photo of a loved one.
So I need each of you to
review all of your files
for apparent deaths by suicide
which involve any of these elements.
Sohal may have been
tracking a serial killer.
It's the dive team.
They've confirmed the vehicle is hers.
Detective Sohal was not in it.
All right. Thanks. Yeah.
That's great.
They're redirecting the search
to the shores and waters downstream.
We need to mobilize the
Search-and-Rescue chopper.
Of course, Minister Sohal.
Remind me Oliver.
Why she was alone?
She'd be safely in that
interrogation room right now
if she wasn't out chasing some
- unsubstantiated theory.
- Okay! We will order an air search
and we will follow her
line of investigation.
Sir!
[♪♪♪]
Absolutely.
Any means to return her safely.
Carry on, Eli.
[♪♪♪]
Okay! The rest of you, let's
move! Come on! Let's go!
What do we know about the
suspect she was following?
[ZAK] Not much. We need
to retrace her steps.
Gillian! Were you able to find any
connection between the two deaths?
[GILLIAN] Yeah.
Both victims attended services
at Willowridge Funeral Home.
- We'll head there.
- I'm with you!
[♪♪♪]
Vince!
Hey. Uh, Zak! A second!
- Hi.
- Our office received a letter
from the man who was convicted
of killing Lincoln Michaels, weeks ago.
He said that he had information
that could point to the real killer.
That should have re-opened the case,
but my boss, when she
went to investigate,
Assistant Commissioner
Campbell threw up the Blue Wall,
and shut it down.
I know the love Sabrina has for you
and I know she trusts you, and that
carries a lot of weight with me
This isn't the first
time with Campbell, is it?
My sister is out there
today
because Campbell made sure
our investigation went nowhere.
I'll find your sister, and I'll
find a way to make this right.
[♪♪♪]
We've found three deaths ruled suicides,
with similar staging.
Each one involved a drowning, a bathtub,
and a photo of a loved
one who'd recently passed.
- What about the funeral homes?
- Willowridge. All three.
- Vince?
- [VINCE] Yeah. We're just leaving.
- Sabrina's not here.
- And there's no CCTV.
But the Assistant Funeral
Director is unaccounted for
- Stephen Rechy.
- His boss says he should be here.
His car's gone, and he's
not responding to calls.
I'll send you the number.
Track his cell and
find out what he drives.
- We'll put out a B.O.L.O.
- [VINCE] We're heading to his house
right now, we're gonna need backup
8831 Dominion Road.
[SIREN WAILING]
All cars priority
call 8831 Dominion Road.
[SIRENS WAILING]
[♪♪♪]
[SIRENS WAILING]
- I could livestream.
- Do it.
[VINCE] Ram, up front!
You're with us. You two, secure
the rear. Let's go!
[♪♪♪]
Ready? Set?
- [THUD]
- I'm here!
- [THUD]
- Police!
Police! CFPC!
- Police!
- CFPC!
Clear!
[♪♪♪]
[GASPS]
You need to be quiet.
House is clear!
She's not here.
[♪♪♪]
[OFFICER] Sergeant?
- Yeah?
- I found this in the bathroom.
[KARA] Okay, new deal. Call off
the backup to Dominion Road.
Let's keep eyes out for
Stephen Rechy's vehicle.
Command!
Rechy left a stash of formaldehyde
and disposable gloves and paper booties.
If you don't want to leave DNA behind
[CONTENTS RATTLE, BOX HITS GROUND]
Traces of formaldehyde.
GCMS tests found them
on Lincoln Michaels,
Carolyn McDermott, and all three
older cases linked to Willowridge,
previously assumed to be suicides.
Why weren't formaldehyde
traces flagged before?
They were but in
very small quantities.
The chemical is used in
the embalming process.
We would have presumed they had
touched their loved ones at a funeral,
- but given what you're telling me
- Not a coincidence.
There's a a lot
of love in that photo.
- Are those your parents?
- They're not my parents.
Greg loved Thea a lot.
Oh? Loved?
A car accident
two days before they were
going to celebrate number 44.
44 years?
Six years before they
were golden, he said.
You should have seen him.
They were all golden.
You know that grief, don't you?
I don't think you understand.
I think I might.
I lost my mom.
When I was 13.
What about you?
Is your mom still with you?
[GUN RATTLING]
What happened to Greg after Thea passed?
I helped him.
Like you helped Lincoln and Carolyn?
I can't imagine seeing
the things that you see,
every day that grief.
It's not every day, it's just sometimes,
and those times, it just
cracks my heart
knowing it won't heal knowing
what they're gonna go through.
They say it takes time,
but time doesn't always help!
- So you help them.
- I do.
If he wanted her dead, he
could've left her in her SUV.
Maybe this is not who
he is killing cops.
Not all serial killers are psychopaths.
Yeah, they can be motivated by
intense emotional
experience delusions.
He's taken the lives of
deeply grieving people,
and it looks like he's
tried to do it painlessly.
Maybe he sees what he's doing
as some kind of mercy killing.
Sabrina doesn't fit his victim profile,
but he could be desperate now,
making impulsive decisions.
Has he taken her
someplace, to buy some time?
I've been searching for other properties
under his family's name
anything close to where
the SUV was dumped, but I
Wait. These mercy-kill suicides,
he staged them in the
victims' own homes.
Yes.
Stephen Rechy had access.
They'd have let him in.
Any of these victims' houses
could still be empty right now.
Send units to Carolyn McDermott's home,
the Michaels' estate,
and the other three.
Sir! Greg Ramm lived four blocks
from where Sabrina's SUV was dumped.
His house is in probate!
1453 Pergola Road.
"1453 Pergola Road."
Right with you.
Send units to 6112 114A Street
and 705 Fraserglen Crescent.
[SIREN WAILING]
It's not like that.
It's because
I understand, you know,
what they're going through.
Your mom?
How old were you?
How did she pass?
Stephen Rechy's mother, Annette,
died by suicide.
It was Stephen who
found her in the bath.
My father
died the year before, suddenly.
My mother, she just loved him so much.
And she wouldn't get out of
bed for weeks and months
a year.
It sounds like a very
powerful love that they had.
Without him, she just
didn't want to be there anymore.
[♪♪♪]
[GILLIAN] He was an only child.
Case workers' notes describe
him as "deeply traumatized".
He lived in group care for four years,
out on his own at 18.
He grew up isolated.
No significant relationships.
I was very close with my mother.
I still miss her, every day.
And it's been so long.
Since she passed, there's
so many things that
so much that she'll
never got to see
that I wanted her to be proud of
I used to head home
every day after school,
or a party, or anything,
just to tell her about it.
Do you ever think
"it doesn't feel real"
until she knew about it?
Yes.
Without her, it doesn't
it doesn't count,
- it doesn't matter.
- It's like it doesn't
even feel like it happened,
because she wasn't there.
Nothing matters.
I just wish that I could
just see her,
just one more time,
and just.. [SNIFFLES]
just tell her everything.
If you could just be there with her.
Now that she's gone, it just
I just don't see the point of going on.
[SIGHS]
[SNIFFLES]
[♪♪♪]
It hurts me to see that
you suffered so much.

I'm so sorry, Stephen.
I
I wasn't straight with you. I
My grief was real
like Lincoln's and Carolyn's and Greg's,
but I had time to heal.
I said what I said
'cause I wanted to escape,
'cause I wanted to live.
You don't seem like the kind of man
who would shoot someone in cold blood.
You wouldn't do that
to my brother
my father.
You wouldn't do that
to the people I love.
And I can't just leave them behind.
Because that is what
suicide does, Stephen.
It's not helping.
It just leaves a longer
and longer trail of grief,
and I don't think that you're
someone who wants to do that.
[VINCE] We're at the house on Pergola.
I want next-shift
officers brought in now.
It's overtime. It's cleared.
Minister.
[♪♪♪]
[ZAK] That's mud from the river.
Rechy's here.
- 6103
- [EXHALES DEEPLY]
We need backup at the Ramm house.
[VOICE CRACKS] We need everyone.
I need all available officers
to provide backup immediately.
[SIRENS WAILING]
Can you put the gun down?
[♪♪♪]
Okay.
I'm just gonna walk
out of here, okay?

Ishaan.
She's okay.
Mm-hmm.
[♪♪♪]
[♪♪♪]
I had talked him down,
he was gonna let me go.
It-It was direct threat.
It was suicide by cop!
He pointed the gun so you
would pull the trigger.
He killed multiple times.
- He wasn't gonna fire.
- How could I know that?
- How could I know?
- [SIRENS WAILING]
You couldn't.

[AJEET] I thought I
was keeping you safe.
I didn't see
how to I thought
It's okay, Pappa.
I thought there was
a longer game to play.
I'm so sorry.
It's okay.
But this time
we don't let it go.
[♪♪♪]
Hey.
Isn't today your review?
Shouldn't you be at detachment?
I needed to see you first.
I wanted to say I'm sorry.
For what?
You keep trying to
to be with me,
to be there for me, and
I keep pushing you away,
and I don't want to do that anymore
but if we're gonna go there
we need to talk.
Graeme Benton.
That wasn't the first time the CFPC
put someone in jail
who shouldn't be there.
The Crown is dependent
on the information
the CFPC provides my boss with.
Like the sealed evidence you
were given to prosecute my father?
I've been trying to keep you safe.
There's something you need to know.
[♪♪♪]
All good?
Yeah.
You know, good as it can be.
[NATE] I had no idea.
I wanted you to know
before I went in there.
You know what?
Do it.
Do whatever it takes.
[♪♪♪]
- Afternoon, Detective.
- Afternoon, sir. Inspector.
[DOOR LATCHES SHUT]
This is Chief HR Officer Gene Schelling.
Sabrina, we appreciate that you chose
not to postpone this probation review.
With all due respect, I'm here
to talk about what happens next
to Assistant Commissioner Campbell.
Well, there is a time and a place
for that conversation, Detective.
He refused to even consider that
Graeme might have been innocent.
He ensured that Graeme
Benton would be convicted.
He ignored new potential evidence
and shut down a C.I.U. investigation
that could've stopped Stephen Rechy
and saved Carolyn McDermott's life.
Yeah. We're aware.
The C.I.U. has brought Graeme
Benton's letter to our attention.
We understand it's far from the
only evidence they've compiled.
They have identified an ongoing
pattern of abuse of power,
and in light of yesterday's events,
one of our own is coming
forward to corroborate
these complaints. I assure you,
we're taking this very seriously.
You should You should sit down.
Respectfully
will this be enough
to terminate him as
head of this detachment?
- W
- He has survived over 30 years.
How long will this investigation take?
It's due process.
You know, may take a while.
And he has allies.
There are people who
admire his leadership, so.
Then there's something you need to know.
Assistant Commissioner Oliver Campbell
conspired to frame my father
for treason a year ago.
I know this because I
stole the sealed evidence
the Crown based their case on,
and I can prove that that evidence
was fabricated and that it was planted.
I understand that I will lose my job
and that I may be charged for theft
and for Breach of Trust,
but I cannot continue to work for a man
that continues to abuse his position.
[DOOR CLOSING]
[♪♪♪]
[SIRENS WAILING]
Oof.
Bolton filled me in
in confidence
about your dad, about what you did
but why the hell wouldn't you tell me?
The last thing I wanted to
do was get you in trouble.
I went to the Academy with
the Assistant Commissioner.
Did you know that?
Yeah, it was just the three
of us me, him, and Bolton,
and Oliver Campbell he was the star.
He built his numbers,
he shook the right hands,
and I saw things that
I just did not like.
But, you know I had a family.
But what you told them in there
that's gonna change the game.
Is it?
They taught me to shoot.
I didn't think I'd have to do it.
And I thought that
I could change things from the inside.
I don't know, Vince. I don't know
that this is the right place for me.
I was supposed to retire six months ago.
I went down to Arizona to see
if I made the right choice,
and I came back because
this is where I belong.
[KNOCKING]
But not just being a cop
but being a cop by your side.
[♪♪♪]
What you did
I should have done a long time ago.
[♪♪♪]
[PAGES FLAPPING]
But, you know
never too late to
figure out who you are,
and what you're for.
And like I told you
good notes
make good arrests.
Campbell's not the only one here
who things like he does
[♪♪♪]
but I've got your back.
And Gillian.
Degas. Zak.
Bolton. We got your back.
This isn't gonna be easy, is it?
Who said it ever is?
[♪♪♪]
Previously, on Allegiance
[TENILLE] Lincoln Michaels found
in his bathtub this morning.
[AC-OC] There's a convicted
killer living in the roof
of a man who was murdered.
Get a confession. Make it happen.
"I murdered Lincoln Michaels."
You're not a big fan of
Assistant Commissioner Campbell.
Complaints about racial profiling,
failing to investigate leads,
because he'd already decided
who was guilty.
We bring enough of these forward,
the CFPC will have to clean house.
My husband is dead!
[CAROLYN RAGING]
- [SHATTERING]
- [GASPING]
You want to tell me what happened?
When Wes was diagnosed,
Dr. Luo assured us it didn't
have to be a death sentence.
She recommended Malazadine.
Six days later,
Wes was dead.
[SABRINA] Hundreds of
patients were taking Malazadine
and not getting the meds they needed.
Dr. Luo, I am so sorry.
I want to make sure this
never happens to anyone else.
[GABBY] Looks like a jumper.
[SABRINA] That's Carolyn McDermott.
There's no way she jumped.
It doesn't make sense.
That she would jump?
Her husband died, she was grieving.
She didn't strike me as suicidal.
She had hope.
She was facing charges.
But probably not jail time,
and she had reconciled with Dr. Luo.
I was in the room with this woman.
She didn't seem like someone
who was gonna harm herself.
So how'd she end up here?
[♪♪♪]
[♪♪♪]
Hey. Nothing unusual on the bridge?
No one matching her description
in the last 24 hours.
Run the cams on King
George and Columbia too.
She drives a blue
Camry, license plate
three-Delta-two, X-ray-two-six.
[KARA] What's this?
Carolyn McDermott. The theory is that
she may have jumped from the Pattullo,
but we're not seeing any footage.
Well, the current could've
carried her from the Port Mann.
I'll check that too.
Meantime, your priority is with Zak
interrogation of the Loewen gang.
- I'll head right down.
- Thanks, Gill.
- Yeah.
Oh, by the way
your probation review has
been scheduled for tomorrow.
Hey. You got a sec?
Yeah. What's up?
Um, look, I just wanted to
give you a bit of a heads up.
Judge Ryan is planning
on bringing a civil suit
against you and the CFPC.
Judge Ryan?
The father of the spree killer.
I know who that is. A civil suit?
CFPC will cover all your costs.
I was cleared by the C.I.U.
Sometimes, the family
doesn't want to believe
there was no alternative
to lethal force.
I didn't want to use my weapon.
It was either him or Zak.
I'll talk to you later, okay?
- Hey.
- Hey.
Listen. Carolyn McDermott's injuries
are consistent with
drowning, but not with a jump
or fall from a bridge.
Well, how can you tell?
The impact trauma, from
that kind of height?
You'd be seeing bone fractures
or, at the very least,
internal organ damage.
There were no signs
of impact on the body.
Okay, so, not suicide?
[ZAK] She could have
walked into the river.
The pockets of her pants
and jacket were distended,
and looked like they'd
been weighted with stones.
[SABRINA] Really?
And if it wasn't suicide,
where's the motive?
I'm still waiting on tox reports,
maybe we'll have more answers then.
Just to cover our bases,
maybe we could check out Carolyn's house
for evidence of suicide
versus foul play?
I know where she keeps the key.
- It shouldn't take long.
- All right.
I'll start in interrogation without you,
but you need to be back A.S.A.P.
[♪♪♪]
It's just I keep thinking
about her state of mind.
I mean, you were with her after
she reconciled with Dr. Luo.
I drove her home.
So how did she seem?
We drove by one of those Escape Rooms.
She said it felt like she had
just busted out of another one.
Her husband loved them.
And she was gonna go to
one with friends last night.
Right? Positive memories,
forward thinking.
I hear you
but no forced entry,
no signs of struggle.
Anti-depressants. It's almost empty.
Overdose?
I mean, it's possible.
It's not likely, not
with this medication.
So why take the pills, fill the tub,
and then go to the river,
and fill your pockets with stones?
After taking the trouble
to put on makeup and do your hair?
Sabrina.
That's Carolyn and her husband.
[♪♪♪]
Vince, remember that case I
mentioned a couple months ago?
Graeme Benton
he was squatting in
Lincoln Michaels' mansion,
- he confessed to the murder?
- Yeah, I remember.
We found Michaels in the bathtub.
A nearly-empty pill bottle and
a photo of a loved one nearby
it looked like a suicide at first, too.
But Carolyn was found in the river.
[SABRINA] Leaving her phone behind?
"I'm here. Didn't we say 8:30?
I'll meet you there."
Does any of this sound like
someone who wants to die?
If it wasn't suicide, someone's
gone to a lot of trouble.
[♪♪♪]
She's reaching out to friends,
family who came to
her husband's funeral.
She's getting ready for an evening out,
and suddenly, she drowns herself?
Something's off. Just
like with Lincoln Michaels.
We'll get a car, secure the
house, preserve the scene,
and get you back to detachment. Come on.
Yeah, there's someone I have to talk to.
Can you drop me somewhere first?
[DOOR BUZZER SOUNDING]
Graeme, thanks so much for coming in.
Yeah. I-I didn't think anybody
would take it seriously.
Take what seriously?
[SCOFFS] Oh. Okay.
Okay, great. Great. This is typical.
This is typical bullshit!
I mean, why would I even
think you'd do anything?
Do anything about what?
I didn't kill that man.
You made me confess.
All I said was that your
fingerprints and DNA evidence
were found on Michaels' body.
Of course they were.
I checked his pulse
when I found him dead.
Graeme, I didn't force you to confess.
I knew how it looked
me living up there, my record.
I was tired
you know, tired of
looking over my shoulder,
not knowing when I'd eat,
so, yeah, the first
time, I said I did it.
And then you had a follow-up interview.
Yeah, and that's when that guy
What guy?
Graeme, what happened at
the follow-up interview?
It's all in my letter.
- What letter?
- That, and what I heard that night.
What did you hear that night?
Graeme, Lincoln's killer
might be connected to
No. No way.
I want a lawyer this time.
Okay? This Legal Aid bullshit
I am still waiting on a
lawyer that never comes.
You get me a lawyer
then maybe we can talk.
He knew how guilty he looked.
He was tired of living in
the dark, barely existing.
[DOOR OPENS]
The Assistant
Commissioner's been briefed.
The Michaels investigation is
closed. We have a confession.
- Yeah, he wants to withdraw it.
- Of course he does. They all do.
Are you thinking about the
family who lost their father,
and what they'll go through if
you open a pointless investigation?
Graeme is willing to talk.
He has new information about that night,
if we reopen the case.
Eli, I have other appointments today.
Sir, maybe this is nothing,
but if these two deaths are related,
there could be more.
We could be dealing
with a serial killer.
- I think we should look into this.
- Sir?
Carolyn McDermott was
emotionally unhinged.
She was grieving her husband.
She was facing criminal charges.
She filled her pockets with rocks
and walked into the river.
I see no connection between
these two cases. Do you, Eli?
Of course, Benton wants
to recant his confession!
Prisons are full of innocent people.
Sir!
Are you saying that when a prisoner
insists that they're innocent,
it's proof that they're lying?
Could we consider that, sometimes,
we may have locked up the wrong people?
[♪♪♪]
I'm going to get back to work now,
and give you an
opportunity to do the same,
and to consider if you really intend
to disparage the integrity
of all the hard-working
men and women of the CFPC
with that kind of question.
[♪♪♪]
Sohal.
[♪♪♪]
What's going on here?
One day from your probation hearing?
She was going to see friends last night.
They had plans to meet,
but before they could,
something happened.
Let's wait for the tox report,
see if that changes things.
Yeah, we wait two days? Two weeks?
Maybe we wait for someone else to die?
Hang on. It's downstairs calling.
We've got suspect interviews stacked up.
Yeah, it's Kalaini.
I know, just keep them down there.
Use the second room if you have to.
[♪♪♪]
Yeah, we'll be right down.
- Where'd she go?
- She headed for the stairs.
What's going on?
[♪♪♪]
[PHONE RINGING]
Vince.
Sohal? Talk to me.
I'm following up on
Carolyn McDermott's case.
I heard the Assistant Commissioner
ordered you to stand down.
Yes, and I'm balancing that order
with my own moral and
professional judgment.
- Oh, Sabrina
- I am prioritizing public safety.
You have a probation
hearing tomorrow. Don't
Don't give Campbell a reason!
He is the reason I have to do this.
Carolyn McDermott is dead.
She would still be alive
if I had pushed back on
him when I had a chance.
Okay, at least tell me
where you're heading.
Sabrina?
- Sabrina
- [BEEP]
[DOOR BUZZES OPEN]
No! No, no
No. I told you I wasn't
gonna talk without a lawyer.
I did what I could, Graeme,
but my boss he doesn't believe you,
so if you want a lawyer,
you're gonna have to wait
for your Legal Aid
application to come through.
Yeah. Okay.
Thanks for coming by with the good news.
I believe you, Graeme.
I don't think that you're a killer.
I think the system's treated
you like shit since day one,
and I don't think
you've ever had a chance
at the life that you deserve.
[♪♪♪]
I think that the person
who killed Lincoln Michaels
is still out there
and I think that others are in danger.
We can help them, Graeme,
and then I can help you.
I was in the crawlspace
and I woke up because
I heard him crying, again,
then I heard him say,
"What are you doing here?"
Then I heard a noise
and then a voice.
Did you recognize the voice?
He said,
"It hurt me to see you
suffer so much today."
Those were the exact words?
"It hurt me to see you
suffer so much today"?
It was a male voice?
- How old?
- Not young, not old.
Did you see, or hear,
anything that might
help us identify him?
Just that Michaels knew him.
And that he saw him earlier that day?
Okay. It's a start.
Thanks, Graeme.
You're not gonna forget me, right?
No. I won't.
You put all these
details in your letter?
Everything I have is in that letter.
Who did you send it to at the CFPC?
I didn't send it to the cops.
[♪♪♪]
[BUZZING]
- Yo.
- Ish?
I need to know about
a civilian complaint,
filed by an inmate
at Surrey Corrections.
He confessed to a
murder he didn't commit
'cause Campbell pressured us to get it.
- [SIGHS] Sab.
- He wrote the details in a letter to C.I.U.
- Sab, we agreed.
- I'm not asking for access
to privileged documents. I'm
just pointing you in a direction.
What's in that letter could help us
find the real killer
before he kills again.
What's the inmate's name?
[♪♪♪]
[KARA] Campbell's
pissed. Sabrina showed up
to re-interview Lincoln
Michaels' daughter,
asking about the funeral guests
who came to his house that day.
She wants to know why her
father's case has been re-opened.
Campbell's talking consequences.
Where the hell is she?
[LINE RINGING]
You've reached Sabrina Sohal.
Leave a message after the beep. [BEEP]

Oh, after the service
for the Michaels family.

Nice to see you again, Detective.
I hope everything's all right?
Oh, I'm actually just following
up on the Michaels case.
- Oh?
- I'm looking for someone
who may have been at the funerals
for both Tabitha Michaels,
and Wesley McDermott, more recently.
Oh, yes. That was
a difficult service.
Uh, difficult?
For the family.
Cancer, but I understand
the loss was quite sudden.
Do you remember anyone
who may have been at both?
Male, maybe someone
who didn't belong?
He may have come on his own,
maybe he didn't know the family?
There are people who may
be lonely and isolated,
participating in the
meaningful moments of others
I'm sorry, if you'll just excuse me
- for one moment?
- Yeah, of course.

[STEPHEN] Joan. How are you holding up?
[CONVERSATION CONTINUES, INDISTINCT]
It's the first time I've
seen it without him
since the day he put it on.
[BREATH SHAKING]
I'm so sorry, Joan.
Would you like me to come by
and check in with you later?
Uh, maybe I could bring
you some of these flowers.

with your clients, after services?
Some of them.

so much for your time.
I'm needed back at detachment,
but I'll come back and follow up soon.

[SHATTERING]
Gillian! I need your help.
[WHISPERING] Sabrina's gone solo
on an unsanctioned investigation.
I've been trying to
cover for her, but
Uh that's not like her.
Sabrina, where are you at?
[KEYS CLACKING]
Sabrina. Talk to me.
Okay. I can't GPS her phone
[DEEP BREATH]
but I can try and get
a ping off her vehicle.
- Text me the location.
- Okay. Yeah.
[♪♪♪]
Gillian, you're sure this is right?
Yeah, last-known
location was right there.
How accurate is the tracking?
Within 20 metres, but
it's not transmitting now.
[♪♪♪]
Do those trackers survive water?
Not for long.
Why?
Zak?
[♪♪♪]
Detective Sohal's cell phone
is currently unresponsive!
We lost contact with
her vehicle's GPS system
- approximately 40 minutes ago.
- [DOOR BANGS OPEN]
The last ping placed it
within 20 metres of the Fraser.
The tread pattern matches
her SUV's make and model.
The Marine Unit's deployed
a dive team to verify.
Why was she sent out
without her partner, without backup?
She wasn't sent anywhere on her own.
She disobeyed a direct
order to stand down.
- Whose order?
- Mine.
[♪♪♪]
What was she doing? What
was this investigation about?
She was looking for a connection
between the murders of Lincoln Michaels
and Carolyn McDermott.
[VINCE] And both deaths
had a similar stagings
the victims were grieving,
they were found drowned,
with presence of medication or alcohol,
and a photo of a loved one.
So I need each of you to
review all of your files
for apparent deaths by suicide
which involve any of these elements.
Sohal may have been
tracking a serial killer.
It's the dive team.
They've confirmed the vehicle is hers.
Detective Sohal was not in it.
All right. Thanks. Yeah.
That's great.
They're redirecting the search
to the shores and waters downstream.
We need to mobilize the
Search-and-Rescue chopper.
Of course, Minister Sohal.
Remind me Oliver.
Why she was alone?
She'd be safely in that
interrogation room right now
if she wasn't out chasing some
- unsubstantiated theory.
- Okay! We will order an air search
and we will follow her
line of investigation.
Sir!
[♪♪♪]
Absolutely.
Any means to return her safely.
Carry on, Eli.
[♪♪♪]
Okay! The rest of you, let's
move! Come on! Let's go!
What do we know about the
suspect she was following?
[ZAK] Not much. We need
to retrace her steps.
Gillian! Were you able to find any
connection between the two deaths?
[GILLIAN] Yeah.
Both victims attended services
at Willowridge Funeral Home.
- We'll head there.
- I'm with you!
[♪♪♪]
Vince!
Hey. Uh, Zak! A second!
- Hi.
- Our office received a letter
from the man who was convicted
of killing Lincoln Michaels, weeks ago.
He said that he had information
that could point to the real killer.
That should have re-opened the case,
but my boss, when she
went to investigate,
Assistant Commissioner
Campbell threw up the Blue Wall,
and shut it down.
I know the love Sabrina has for you
and I know she trusts you, and that
carries a lot of weight with me
This isn't the first
time with Campbell, is it?
My sister is out there
today
because Campbell made sure
our investigation went nowhere.
I'll find your sister, and I'll
find a way to make this right.
[♪♪♪]
We've found three deaths ruled suicides,
with similar staging.
Each one involved a drowning, a bathtub,
and a photo of a loved
one who'd recently passed.
- What about the funeral homes?
- Willowridge. All three.
- Vince?
- [VINCE] Yeah. We're just leaving.
- Sabrina's not here.
- And there's no CCTV.
But the Assistant Funeral
Director is unaccounted for
- Stephen Rechy.
- His boss says he should be here.
His car's gone, and he's
not responding to calls.
I'll send you the number.
Track his cell and
find out what he drives.
- We'll put out a B.O.L.O.
- [VINCE] We're heading to his house
right now, we're gonna need backup
8831 Dominion Road.

[KARA] Okay, new deal. Call off
the backup to Dominion Road.
Let's keep eyes out for
Stephen Rechy's vehicle.
Command!
Rechy left a stash of formaldehyde
and disposable gloves and paper booties.
If you don't want to leave DNA behind
[CONTENTS RATTLE, BOX HITS GROUND]
Traces of formaldehyde.
GCMS tests found them
on Lincoln Michaels,
Carolyn McDermott, and all three
older cases linked to Willowridge,
previously assumed to be suicides.
Why weren't formaldehyde
traces flagged before?
They were but in
very small quantities.
The chemical is used in
the embalming process.
We would have presumed they had
touched their loved ones at a funeral,
- but given what you're telling me
- Not a coincidence.
There's a a lot
of love in that photo.
- Are those your parents?
- They're not my parents.
Greg loved Thea a lot.
Oh? Loved?
A car accident
two days before they were
going to celebrate number 44.
44 years?
Six years before they
were golden, he said.
You should have seen him.
They were all golden.
You know that grief, don't you?
I don't think you understand.
I think I might.
I lost my mom.
When I was 13.
What about you?
Is your mom still with you?
[GUN RATTLING]
What happened to Greg after Thea passed?
I helped him.
Like you helped Lincoln and Carolyn?
I can't imagine seeing
the things that you see,
every day that grief.
It's not every day, it's just sometimes,
and those times, it just
cracks my heart
knowing it won't heal knowing
what they're gonna go through.
They say it takes time,
but time doesn't always help!
- So you help them.
- I do.
If he wanted her dead, he
could've left her in her SUV.
Maybe this is not who
he is killing cops.
Not all serial killers are psychopaths.
Yeah, they can be motivated by
intense emotional
experience delusions.
He's taken the lives of
deeply grieving people,
and it looks like he's
tried to do it painlessly.
Maybe he sees what he's doing
as some kind of mercy killing.
Sabrina doesn't fit his victim profile,
but he could be desperate now,
making impulsive decisions.
Has he taken her
someplace, to buy some time?
I've been searching for other properties
under his family's name
anything close to where
the SUV was dumped, but I
Wait. These mercy-kill suicides,
he staged them in the
victims' own homes.
Yes.
Stephen Rechy had access.
They'd have let him in.
Any of these victims' houses
could still be empty right now.
Send units to Carolyn McDermott's home,
the Michaels' estate,
and the other three.
Sir! Greg Ramm lived four blocks
from where Sabrina's SUV was dumped.
His house is in probate!
1453 Pergola Road.
"1453 Pergola Road."
Right with you.
Send units to 6112 114A Street
and 705 Fraserglen Crescent.
[SIREN WAILING]
It's not like that.
It's because
I understand, you know,
what they're going through.
Your mom?
How old were you?
How did she pass?
Stephen Rechy's mother, Annette,
died by suicide.
It was Stephen who
found her in the bath.
My father
died the year before, suddenly.
My mother, she just loved him so much.
And she wouldn't get out of
bed for weeks and months
a year.
It sounds like a very
powerful love that they had.
Without him, she just
didn't want to be there anymore.
[♪♪♪]
[GILLIAN] He was an only child.
Case workers' notes describe
him as "deeply traumatized".
He lived in group care for four years,
out on his own at 18.
He grew up isolated.
No significant relationships.
I was very close with my mother.
I still miss her, every day.
And it's been so long.
Since she passed, there's
so many things that
so much that she'll
never got to see
that I wanted her to be proud of
I used to head home
every day after school,
or a party, or anything,
just to tell her about it.
Do you ever think
"it doesn't feel real"
until she knew about it?
Yes.
Without her, it doesn't
it doesn't count,
- it doesn't matter.
- It's like it doesn't
even feel like it happened,
because she wasn't there.
Nothing matters.
I just wish that I could
just see her,
just one more time,
and just.. [SNIFFLES]
just tell her everything.
If you could just be there with her.
Now that she's gone, it just

I'm so sorry, Stephen.
I
I wasn't straight with you. I
My grief was real
like Lincoln's and Carolyn's and Greg's,
but I had time to heal.
I said what I said
'cause I wanted to escape,
'cause I wanted to live.
You don't seem like the kind of man
who would shoot someone in cold blood.
You wouldn't do that
to my brother
my father.
You wouldn't do that
to the people I love.
And I can't just leave them behind.
Because that is what
suicide does, Stephen.
It's not helping.
It just leaves a longer
and longer trail of grief,
and I don't think that you're
someone who wants to do that.
[VINCE] We're at the house on Pergola.
I want next-shift
officers brought in now.
It's overtime. It's cleared.
Minister.
[♪♪♪]
[ZAK] That's mud from the river.
Rechy's here.
- 6103
- [EXHALES DEEPLY]
We need backup at the Ramm house.
[VOICE CRACKS] We need everyone.
I need all available officers
to provide backup immediately.
[SIRENS WAILING]
Can you put the gun down?
[♪♪♪]
Okay.
I'm just gonna walk
out of here, okay?

Ishaan.
She's okay.
Mm-hmm.
[♪♪♪]
[♪♪♪]
I had talked him down,
he was gonna let me go.
It-It was direct threat.
It was suicide by cop!
He pointed the gun so you
would pull the trigger.
He killed multiple times.
- He wasn't gonna fire.
- How could I know that?
- How could I know?
- [SIRENS WAILING]
You couldn't.

[AJEET] I thought I
was keeping you safe.
I didn't see
how to I thought
It's okay, Pappa.
I thought there was
a longer game to play.
I'm so sorry.
It's okay.
But this time
we don't let it go.
[♪♪♪]
Hey.
Isn't today your review?
Shouldn't you be at detachment?
I needed to see you first.
I wanted to say I'm sorry.
For what?
You keep trying to
to be with me,
to be there for me, and
I keep pushing you away,
and I don't want to do that anymore
but if we're gonna go there
we need to talk.
Graeme Benton.
That wasn't the first time the CFPC
put someone in jail
who shouldn't be there.
The Crown is dependent
on the information
the CFPC provides my boss with.
Like the sealed evidence you
were given to prosecute my father?
I've been trying to keep you safe.
There's something you need to know.
[♪♪♪]
All good?
Yeah.
You know, good as it can be.
[NATE] I had no idea.
I wanted you to know
before I went in there.
You know what?
Do it.
Do whatever it takes.
[♪♪♪]
- Afternoon, Detective.
- Afternoon, sir. Inspector.
[DOOR LATCHES SHUT]
This is Chief HR Officer Gene Schelling.
Sabrina, we appreciate that you chose
not to postpone this probation review.
With all due respect, I'm here
to talk about what happens next
to Assistant Commissioner Campbell.
Well, there is a time and a place
for that conversation, Detective.
He refused to even consider that
Graeme might have been innocent.
He ensured that Graeme
Benton would be convicted.
He ignored new potential evidence
and shut down a C.I.U. investigation
that could've stopped Stephen Rechy
and saved Carolyn McDermott's life.
Yeah. We're aware.
The C.I.U. has brought Graeme
Benton's letter to our attention.
We understand it's far from the
only evidence they've compiled.
They have identified an ongoing
pattern of abuse of power,
and in light of yesterday's events,
one of our own is coming
forward to corroborate
these complaints. I assure you,
we're taking this very seriously.
You should You should sit down.
Respectfully
will this be enough
to terminate him as
head of this detachment?
- W
- He has survived over 30 years.
How long will this investigation take?
It's due process.
You know, may take a while.
And he has allies.
There are people who
admire his leadership, so.
Then there's something you need to know.
Assistant Commissioner Oliver Campbell
conspired to frame my father
for treason a year ago.
I know this because I
stole the sealed evidence
the Crown based their case on,
and I can prove that that evidence
was fabricated and that it was planted.
I understand that I will lose my job
and that I may be charged for theft
and for Breach of Trust,
but I cannot continue to work for a man
that continues to abuse his position.

[SIRENS WAILING]
Oof.
Bolton filled me in
in confidence
about your dad, about what you did
but why the hell wouldn't you tell me?
The last thing I wanted to
do was get you in trouble.
I went to the Academy with
the Assistant Commissioner.
Did you know that?
Yeah, it was just the three
of us me, him, and Bolton,
and Oliver Campbell he was the star.
He built his numbers,
he shook the right hands,
and I saw things that
I just did not like.
But, you know I had a family.
But what you told them in there
that's gonna change the game.
Is it?
They taught me to shoot.
I didn't think I'd have to do it.
And I thought that
I could change things from the inside.
I don't know, Vince. I don't know
that this is the right place for me.
I was supposed to retire six months ago.
I went down to Arizona to see
if I made the right choice,
and I came back because
this is where I belong.
[KNOCKING]
But not just being a cop
but being a cop by your side.
[♪♪♪]
What you did
I should have done a long time ago.
[♪♪♪]
[PAGES FLAPPING]
But, you know
never too late to
figure out who you are,
and what you're for.
And like I told you
good notes
make good arrests.
Campbell's not the only one here
who things like he does
[♪♪♪]
but I've got your back.
And Gillian.
Degas. Zak.
Bolton. We got your back.
This isn't gonna be easy, is it?
Who said it ever is?
