Officer.
[SIGHS]
It's been two days.
When can I take a shower?
[DOOR SLAM ECHOES]
Thought I might find you here.
All these people,
what would they say
if they knew the person who saved them
was also a kidnapper who
got away with her crime?
Gabi, you have to stop
punishing herself.
Sir's in jail.
You're free. It's over.
It's not over.
Sir knew the one thing
I needed to be free
was to pay my penance,
and he took that from me.
It keeps me still trapped
in that damn farmhouse.
For the first time, I can't
predict his next move.
- I don't like that.
- Forget him.
Focus on you.
There are other ways to heal.
[PHONE BUZZING]
Bernie, it's good to hear from you.
Stay there.
Yes, I'm on my way.
Who was that?
An old friend.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
♪
- Bernie?
- Gabi?
Gabi, is that you?
Yes, it's me. I'm here.
What happened?
Someone took her.
Someone took Violet!
Gabi, my cane, please.
[KNOCK AT DOOR]
DCPD!
We've been called for a disturbance.
[DOOR CREAKS]
- Nobody move!
- Don't shoot!
- Hands in the air!
- What's going on?
- Don't shoot!
- What's going on, Gabi?
[TENSE MUSIC]
♪
I need to get Bernie home.
Well, that won't be
happening anytime soon.
Trent, his sister is missing.
We need to be out looking for Violet,
not badgering her brother.
We are holding him for
more questioning, Gabi.
On what grounds?
On the grounds that he
is a person of interest
in the suspected murder of his sister.
Murder?
There was no forced entry.
The neighbors heard him
and Violet fighting.
And there was blood found
in the hallway, elevator,
and near the dumpster in the garage.
We're currently
tracking down the truck
that took out the trash.
He's blind.
He's a respected pastor
at Holy Shepherd Church.
He's not a murderer.
Just because Bernie is legally blind
doesn't mean that he's
not capable of murder.
He can still make out
lights and shapes enough
to get his hands on someone.
Trent, I know Bernie.
He could never commit
that kind of violence.
When's the last time
you talked to him?
About a year ago at his
wife Maria's funeral.
Well, a lot can change in 12 months.
And this isn't the first time DCPD's
been called to his place.
Bernie and Violet fought constantly.
Maybe things escalated.
You said person of interest.
So technically, he's not under arrest.
I'll take responsibility for Bernie.
Who is he to you?
His wife, Maria, was my therapist
when I escaped the farmhouse.
She helped, but it was
actually Bernie and his faith
that helped the most.
Before there was Gina,
there was Bernie.
♪
Look, there's no warrant yet,
so you are free to take him for now.

- Uh
- What is it?
Christian's car was found abandoned
a few miles from his hotel.
No sign of him, but
these were in there.
♪
Thank you.
Triple shot?
Think you should be
drinking that much caffeine?
I'm not six anymore.
Besides, I barely slept last night.
Those motel mattresses
should be illegal.
You know you can always
sleep in your own bed.
I told you, I'm not ready.
Right, OK, I'm not pushing.
So I heard Gabi's message.
Sounds like M&A has a case.
Well, I thought today
was supposed to be
about the two of us.
But I could help.
I mean, aren't the
first couple of days
someone's missing the most important?
Maybe you'll tell me about
your first couple of days
when you're ready.
I actually can't remember.
So anyway, the case?

Gabi Mosely, how do you
feel since Sir's capture?
Are you gonna testify at his trial?
Just ignore them.
Gabi, could I get one quick statement?
Are you relieved the
nightmare is over?
Leave her the hell alone.
♪
Can you walk me through exactly
what happened last night?
I went to bed early.
I woke up when I heard a crash.
Then Violet screamed my name,
and I ran into the living
room, tripped, and fell.
That's how I lost my walking stick.
I was crawling on the
floor looking for her,
and I felt blood next
to the smashed cabinet.
And then I called you.
Is there anyone you know
who might have wanted to hurt Violet?
I don't know what's going on
in her life anymore.
Is that because you two were fighting?
[TENSE MUSIC]
Can you give us a moment?
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
Bernie, the only way I can help
is if you're honest with me.
I know you and Violet have always
had a peaceful relationship.
What changed?
♪
She killed her.
She killed my Maria.
♪
Bernie became a pastor
after he was diagnosed
with retinitis pigmentosa.
It's a rare hereditary and
degenerative eye disease.
Violet's a retired
programmer, lived in Florida
until she moved to DC 18
months ago to take care
- of Bernie and a sick Maria.
- Was Violet ever religious?
Not from what I can tell,
which is surprising,
given how gifted Bernie
was in the pulpit.
God did not bring
darkness into my world
but stayed by my side when
I could no longer see.
Now, I know that I am not
alone in my testimony.
And I'm here to tell you
that neither are you.
He's always had enough
faith to move mountains.
Bernie admitted that he blames Violet
for his wife Maria's death.
That's what they were fighting about?
Maria had been sick
for several months.
Before the doctors could
figure out what was wrong,
she had a stroke and
slipped into a coma.
But a few days prior,
Maria gave Violet control
over her end-of-life care.
Bernie didn't know?
Not until Violet made the decision
to take Maria off life support.
I hate to say it, Gabi,
but that's motive.
I know. But he didn't do it.
Look, no forced entry
just means either Bernie
or Violet knew her abductor.
Based on Bernie's
emails, the only person
he had beef with lately
outside of his sister
is a deacon from his
church, Roland Brady.
Six months ago, he asked Bernie
for help with his gambling debt.
Bernie sent back a nasty response.
Things escalated, and
Deacon Roland said,
and I quote, "You'll soon
find yourself alone, Bernie,
with no one there for you,
and it'll be all your fault."
Six months of gambling
debt, threatening emails.
It's not a good look for a deacon.
Dhan, head over to Bernie's.
Shaker's still over there.
Zeke, keep diving into Violet's life.
I want everything from her cell phone,
neighborhood cameras, who
she played bingo with.
Lacey, with me.
It's time for us to have a little chat
with that poker-loving deacon.
Yo, Evans, you have a visitor.
[BUZZER BLARES]
Heavy Boots.
Found these in your brother's car.
[TENSE MUSIC]
So where is he? Where's Christian?
It's fascinating how concerned you are
with my family when you
should worry about your own.
Have you confronted your father
about those missing children,
or is your limited brain still
in denial about the truth?
Your brother is dangerous.
He has eyes on Gabi.
Christian is not dangerous.
He lacks spine.
He shot a civilian.
♪
You're going to prison
for the rest of your life.
Gabi is out there,
vulnerable and exposed.
If you care about her,
you will talk to me.
♪
You know Gabi will never
see or speak to you again.
You are stuck with me.
Enjoy.
[BUZZER BLARES]
♪
Find anything?
Just getting started.
Get off me.
What?
Found him poking
around the first floor.
Looked like he was casing the place.
He said he was with you.
Uh, who is this?
[SCOFFS] You brought
Jamie to a crime scene?
I told you to wait in the car.
Sorry, I got nervous. I
just wanted to find you.
Jamie Reed? I'll be damned.
I have half a mind to
file a report against him.
There's been enough
chaos this morning.
That won't be necessary.
It's clear you take
your job seriously.
And I'm sure you gave a statement.
But these folks were hired
by Bernie to find his sister.
We're hopeful she's still alive.
Did you know her well?
No, I didn't.
♪
I don't have personal relationships
with any residents.
♪
Withholding won't help us find her.
Like the cop lady said, I
already gave my statement.
- So unless I'm under arrest
- You're not yet.
But call me "cop lady" one more time,
and you gonna have a problem.
Then I'm headed back to my post.
♪
Uh, that's y'all cue too.
Kid at a crime scene
contaminates evidence.
♪
I'm confused.
What do you mean Bernie Sayers
isn't the pastor here anymore?
He quit about a year
ago, after his wife died.
I'm sorry that his sister's missing,
but Violet wasn't a member.
I don't know how I can help you.
We know about your gambling debt
and that you threatened Bernie
when he refused to help.
[SIGHS] I am so ashamed.
Yes, I have a gambling problem.
But I didn't go to Bernie for money.
I went to him for emotional
support, a prayer partner.
Bernie was my rock, my confidant,
and he helped me get my gambling
under control in the past.
And I thought he could do it again.
And I was wrong.
Bernie's changed a lot
since Maria's death.
Become more cruel,
less forgiving.
And him casting me aside
hurt, and I got upset.
But they were just words, Ms. Mosely.
You can't possibly think
I would hurt Violet as payback.
I'm a man of God.
Old Testament God or
New Testament God?
'Cause they handled
forgiveness and vengeance
very differently.
Deacon, your meeting's started.
♪
Gabi Mosley?
Oh, my Lord. [LAUGHS]
I haven't seen you in 20 years.
Are you rejoining us?
Hi, Ms. Pearl.
Not today.
I just needed to speak to the deacon.
Oh, OK, well, I hope he
didn't scare you off.
I mean, he's doing the best he can,
but this place just hasn't been
the same since Bernie left us.
He was the real magic
here, as you know,
kind of like you're the magic at M&A.
And losing Bernie would
be like M&A losing you.
Right, honey?
You don't like Deacon Roland?
[SIGHS] He's OK, I suppose.
It's just that his biggest
sin is, he's not Bernie.
[PHONE BUZZES]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
- Excuse me.
- Oh, of course.
♪
What is it?
It's Christian.
You think it's a trap?
What I think is, Christian's
behavior doesn't add up.
First he comes to town to help us.
Then he shoots Heather.
Then he breaks into my
house to leave a letter
proclaiming his innocence, now this?
You don't think he's
the accomplice anymore.
♪
Please tell me you're not
sneaking back to Bernie's.
I have no choice since Margaret's kid
- officially got us booted out.
- Turns out, Margaret
was right about the security guard.
I'm sending a still to your phone.
I picked this up from a random post
on a popular social media site.
[TENSE MUSIC]
That's Violet and Leonard.
Caption claims someone
caught this argument
on their door cam, and
right after the screen grab,
Violet runs off
and the security guard
chases after her.
Time for me to have
another chat with Leonard.
You have one chance to tell the truth,
or this will not end well for you.
Where's Violet?
I swear, I don't know.
We saw your confrontation.
It looked like you were
pulling some sort of weapon.
A weapon?
Wait!
You've got it wrong.
Look, I'll prove it.
♪
I was proposing.
She backed away when she said no.
Rejection is also a motive.
I'd never hurt Violet. I love her.
And I understood why she rejected me.
She was afraid to leave Bernie alone.
I told her she deserved to be
happy and free of his pain,
but she couldn't let him go.
So I let her go.
I would know if the woman I
loved had left this Earth.
I need y'all to keep looking.
Please.
Find her.
He's breaking everything.
Please hurry! I'm scared.
That's a 911 call
from a few months ago
that Shaker sent over.
That doesn't prove that
Bernie hurt Violet.
And it certainly doesn't
mean that he murdered her.
Gabi, she was terrified.
Bernie's angry.
Even the deacon said he's changed.
He attacked the press today.
I mean, can you at
least admit that there's
a possibility Bernie
might be involved,
even if it was accidental?
I am tired
Well, it wasn't the security guard.
I am tired of everyone questioning
my judgment on this case.
Who's everyone?
We're exploring options
like we always do.
♪
My instincts are telling me
that Bernie didn't do this.
Just like Margaret's instincts
are telling her that Jamie's her son?
Because we're all still
being cautious about that.
That's why we're
meeting here, isn't it?
So Margaret can have space from us?
I wasn't gonna bring it up
until after we found Violet,
but we're right to be suspicious.
I got Jamie's DNA test results back.
Inconclusive.
- Do we tell her?
- No.
We need to get real answers
about Jamie's identity
before we tell Margaret.
And that's all I'm trying
to do for Bernie
get real answers.
Gabi, we can't help him if
we don't know the truth.
OK. I'll get the truth.
♪
Where is everyone?
Out in the field.
That's what happens
when we work a case.
So you didn't ask
them to give us space?
Because yet again, Gabi
is nowhere to be found.
Gabi's just always on the move.
I mean, that's just how she operates.
Is that her superpower?
Moving fast, thinking on the go?
You all have a thing.
You you noticed that.
You learn to observe things
when you were raised the way
I was over the last 13 years.
♪
What do you mean?
♪
Well, Dhan's clearly not
afraid to get his hands dirty.
You know, law and rules
mean nothing to him.
Lacey's the legal brain.
Zeke's the hacker.
And you have vision thing.
I'm just hyper observant.
I don't remember that from before.
Well, I developed it over time,
looking for you.

Have you done it on me?
Sometimes it just kicks
in before I can stop it.

He'll come back.
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

How do you not have an update?
What color shoes was Jamie wearing?
- The cops want to know.

I-I-I-I think they were his
the the blue ones with the star.
Those are his favorite.
He always wears them.

I thought your sight
made cooking impossible.
I see in other ways now.
I made your favorite:
red beans and rice.
Bernie, we need to talk.
Where do you want to start?
Last month's 911 call.
You were breaking things.
Violet was petrified.
They were dishes.
I was breaking dishes.
Violet tried to replace
some bowls that Maria bought
because they were chipped.
Now, I-I-I couldn't stand by
and watch her erase my wife,
not after she took her away from me.
Bernie, you have to stop saying that.
Violet was only doing
what Maria asked of her.
She wouldn't want you to
punish Violet for that.
What about what I wanted?
♪
I spent my life serving God
and never asking for
anything in return,
not even when he took my sight.
But then Maria got sick.
The one time I needed God,
and he abandoned me.
She's gone.
I-I can't even feel her anymore.
Maria's just gone.
♪
I can't feel my father anymore either.

And you know who I blame for it all?
Sir.
I was so furious at him
when my father passed
away that I snapped.
So if you're trying to tell me
that you reached your breaking point,
I've been there.
We can fix it together.
That's why you waited when
you came home earlier.
You were trying to work up
the courage to confront me.
What do you mean earlier?
Well, I heard you in that locked room.
I haven't been home all day.

It's a private room.
Almost no one knows
about it except Margaret.
So how would the person who
broke in know it was here?
The person is Christian.
He broke in once before.
He probably found it then.
I will have the fingerprints analyzed,
but it it has to be him.
Who else would send such
an obvious death threat?
I don't know what to think.
Bernie isn't the
person that I remember.
So maybe I'm wrong
about Christian too.

You still don't think
it's him, do you?
Between the missing mole and
the inconclusive DNA results,
it's not looking good.
It'll crush Margaret

Then maybe you should get
your facts straight before you
- say anything to her.
- Jamie, we didn't
If you really wanted
answers about my identity,
you could have asked.
You don't think we tried?
The mole, I had it
lasered off when I was 10.

you'll have a better read on that
than on a stolen piece of old pizza.

Thank you for meeting me.
- You find anything?

their shoes at the entrance.
So if Bernie was part
of the altercation
He'd have been barefoot.
Bernie was telling the truth. [SIGHS]
You were doubting him, weren't you?
Doubting him, doubting myself.
Ever since Sir took away
my chance at penance,
feels like something inside me broke.

Do you know why I've
been keeping my distance?
Because your instincts
are always right.
And I'm afraid of what they're
telling you about my son.

I can't lose him again.
All I'm saying is,
your instincts are your superpower.
They're not broken.

- No comment.
Bring our sister Violet home.
What the hell, Gabi?
We've been flooded
with calls from people
demanding Bernie's release.
What happened to he's
not the man you remember?
He's still the pastor
who saved my life.
And you still don't have a body.
We are looking at landfills now.
Come on, Trent.
Do you really think Bernie did this?
It doesn't matter what I think.
What matters is evidence.
And before you start in
on me about Christian,
we ran the prints.
They were his.
So don't try and talk me into
believing he is a good guy too.
I never said Christian was a good guy,
just not a cold-blooded psychopath
stupid enough to escalate
things with the DCPD.
He had to know what you would do
if he threatened me with that photo.
It's almost as if
Trent, what if that photo
wasn't a threat on my life
but a threat on his?

Bernie became a pastor
after he was diagnosed
with retinitis pigmentosa.
It's a rare hereditary and
degenerative eye disease.
Violet's a retired
programmer, lived in Florida
until she moved to DC 18
months ago to take care
- of Bernie and a sick Maria.
- Was Violet ever religious?
Not from what I can tell,
which is surprising,

was in the pulpit.
God did not bring
darkness into my world
but stayed by my side when
I could no longer see.
Now, I know that I am not
alone in my testimony.
And I'm here to tell you
that neither are you.
He's always had enough
faith to move mountains.
Bernie admitted that he blames Violet
for his wife Maria's death.
That's what they were fighting about?
Maria had been sick
for several months.
Before the doctors could
figure out what was wrong,
she had a stroke and
slipped into a coma.
But a few days prior,
Maria gave Violet control
over her end-of-life care.
Bernie didn't know?
Not until Violet made the decision
to take Maria off life support.
I hate to say it, Gabi,
but that's motive.
I know. But he didn't do it.
Look, no forced entry
just means either Bernie
or Violet knew her abductor.
Based on Bernie's
emails, the only person
he had beef with lately
outside of his sister
is a deacon from his
church, Roland Brady.
Six months ago, he asked Bernie
for help with his gambling debt.
Bernie sent back a nasty response.
Things escalated, and
Deacon Roland said,
and I quote, "You'll soon
find yourself alone, Bernie,
with no one there for you,
