[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
No word from Margaret yet?
No, and I'm getting worried.
She was frantic this morning.
If Jamie doesn't call her
back or show up soon,
I don't know what she's going to do.
There is not a speck
of evidence anywhere.
No hair strands, saliva, nothing.
Whoever brought Peter down
here really covered their tracks.
Are you sure that Jamie
didn't go back to the motel last night?
I staked it out all night.
The kid never showed.
Gabi, if Jamie is the one who
put Peter in your basement,
you've got a real problem.
The cigarette butts prove he was here,
but nothing else does.
We need more.
We need proof of what he was doing here,
proof of who he is, for God's sake.
What is the holdup with the DNA results?
I used up my fast-track favor last time,
but I'll apply some
pressure to my FBI buddy,
see if he can't
reprioritize things again
to push it through.
Can't you just send one
unit out to search for Jamie?
- Margaret.
- Please.
I've looked everywhere. Please!
Is it possible that Jamie
is hiding, not missing?
Why would he be hiding?
Several cigarette butts were found
outside Gabi's home last night
Red Luxe, Jamie's brand.
Jamie may have planted
Peter in Gabi's basement.
Are you serious?
Jamie is not a kidnapper.
Maybe he just went to talk to Gabi.
And why didn't she tell me this?
Gabi's looking into all
other possible explanations.
She wants to be
absolutely sure before
she hurts you.
Excuse me.
[TENSE MUSIC]
I know where Jamie was last seen.
- [BUZZER BLARES]
- [DOOR CLANKING]
I know Jamie came to see you last night.
What did you say to my son?
It's good to see you, Margaret.
Answer the question.
[HANDCUFFS CLINKING]
You're coming unhinged, aren't you?
If you have any
humanity left in you at all,
you will tell me what you
and Jamie talked about.
[SCOFFS]
It's easy for you to draw a
line between good and bad.
That's why you were able
to turn your back on Gabrielle
without batting an eye
when you learned about me.
But sometimes good and bad can coexist.
Jamie understands that,
and that's why he came to see me.
You don't know a damn
thing about me or my son.
I know he was away for 13 years.
Even you must concede
that at some point,
he chose to stay away.
Obviously, he found
someone who was willing
to give him the love that he deserved.
Did you tell Jamie those lies?
I'll happily tell you
everything you want to know
if you bring Gabrielle to see me.
[BUZZER BLARES]
- Hey, what happened in there?
- She's harassing my client.
Look, I don't want a bunch
of contentious nonsense between us,
but if Gabi doesn't stop sending people
to try to convince my client
into taking the plea deal,
- we're gonna have a problem.
- That's not what this is.
Your client agreed to this visit.
I, um I have to go. I'm sorry.
I hate this being on opposing sides.
Well, this was your choice, Heather.
Mark, wait. I miss you.
[SOMBER MUSIC]
You know, it's not too late for us.
[BUZZER BLARES]
You can still change your mind
about representing Sir.
I have to go inside.
Can we meet for drinks
later? Talk things out?
Hey, Gabi. No word on Jamie yet.
I've been trying to trace his phone,
but it must be turned off.
Okay, keep looking.
- We have to find him.
- Okay.
[COMPUTER BEEPS]
Margaret, are you okay?
Is it Jamie?
Sir I went to see him.
- Why would you do that?
- I'll get to that, but
Gabi Mosely?
I'm Gabi Mosely.
I know who you are.
Do you remember me?
Montgomery Clark.
Why are you here? I
thought you were in prison.
It's "Monty."
And I was in prison for three years,
because that's where you put
me after you stole my son from me.
You remember my son,
don't you, Ms. Mosely?
- Of course I remember.
- Gabi, who is this?
I haven't seen Jalen in three years,
and now he's missing.
It's your fault I lost
him in the first place.
- [GUN CLICKS]
- [GASPS]
So you're going to help me get him back.
- [COMPUTER BEEPS]
- Don't worry, Gabi.
- I'm calling the police.
- Who is that?
- No.
- No! No police.
This is Zeke. He's my colleague.
He's not going to make any trouble.
Zeke, don't call the
police. Don't call anyone.
Mr. Clark is just afraid for his son.
But I'm going to help.
Turn the camera off
and let me handle it.
[TENSE MUSIC]
[COMPUTER BEEPS]
Okay.
He's gone. It's just us.
Let's put the gun down and talk.
We can talk, but the gun stays.
I came as fast as I could.
I can't believe this is happening.
- Who is this guy, anyway?
- He's a kidnapper
a case Gabi worked at the old PI firm.
He took his four-year-old
kid after losing custody.
Gabi apprehended him, saved the kid.
I helped with the takedown.
- Shouldn't he be in jail?
- Last that I knew, he was.
He only served three years
of a four-year sentence.
Just got out for good behavior.
This is his ex-wife,
Dalia, and their son Jalen.
Says here he was also
accused of child abuse.
[KEYS CLACKING]
And now he's trying to force Gabi
to help him get Jalen back?
Look, Gabi's not going
to turn over a child to their abuser.
We need to call Trent.
Gabi is obviously trying to
buy time until help arrives.
Gabi won't risk playing Monty,
especially with Margaret's
life on the line too.
If she's saying she'll
help, she has a plan.
Zeke, can you pull up the M&A feed
without exposing yourself?
Technically, yes, but there's a light
indicating when the camera's in use.
If Monty sees that, Gabi and Margaret
could be in more danger.
It's worth the risk.
We can't leave them in
there alone with a madman.
[TENSE MUSIC]
[KEYS CLACKING]
Go.
[SECURITY SYSTEM BEEPING]
Why don't you sit down
and start from the beginning?
You're not in charge anymore.
You sit.
Sit there, both of you.
Uh [BREATHING HEAVILY]
Just listen.
My brother Marlon was keeping
tabs on Dalia while I was away.
Dalia is not well mentally,
and he said Dalia was struggling
the last time he saw her and Jalen.
He hasn't heard from her since.
How long ago was that?
- A couple months.
- Um
I want to help, but there's
not much I can do inside here.
I need my team to get things rolling.
If I could just make one call,
then we could start looking for Jalen.
I can't believe the
remarkable Gabi Mosely
can't handle this alone.
My team and I always
work cases together.
One team, one goal find Jalen.
You need to trust me.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
We're still being watched.
Oh, you think you
think you can play me?
You were pretending to care about Jalen,
pretending t t to help me.
I I promise, Gabi is being sincere.
If no one's watching, they won't see me
- put a bullet in your head.
- No. No, no, no!
- [SCREAMS]
- Monty.
They have until the count of three.
- Take it easy.
- One!
Two!
- One! Two!
- What do I do?
If you show yourself,
we lose eyes in there.
If you don't, he's gonna shoot Margaret!
- Okay, just let me think.
- Three!
[COMPUTER BEEPS]
Zeke, I told you to
shut your camera down.
I'm sorry.
- Did you call the police?
- No, no, I swear.
I was just monitoring to
see if I can help find Jalen.
And I've already started.
I checked area hospitals
for Dalia and Jalen.
Unfortunately, the last
record was from four years ago
when Jalen was admitted
for second-degree burns.
That was an accident!
I believe you. I was only trying to
I did not hurt my son!
Nobody is accusing you of anything.
This is what Zeke does.
He can access information
most people can't.
He is just doing what he
would do on any other case.
In fact, if this was another case,
I would have had my second-in-command
do a wellness check on
Dalia and Jalen by now.
I told you, we can't do this alone.
Fine.
Your team can help
but I can't have them watching us.
[GUNSHOT]
He took my eyes.
He took my eyes! Now what?
We work the case, like Gabi said.
- What's Dalia's last known address?
- She's staying with the parents.
I'll track it down and text it to you.
Damn it.
- No more games.
- No more games.
But if this is going to work,
we have to do it our way, Monty.
I worked at a health-food
store that's where we met.
We couldn't have been more different.
She was beautiful and
wealthy, and I was
well, me.
But she kept coming back.
Her weekly smoothie
became a daily ritual and
my reason for living.
- You loved her very much.
- More than anything.
When did your relationship change?
After Jalen was born.
Dalia became irritable and emotional.
She started to withdraw
from me and the baby.
- Postpartum depression.
- That was my guess, but
I asked her to talk to
someone, but she wouldn't.
She'd had bad experiences
with depression as a teen.
Her parents didn't handle it great.
Dalia never got over the shame of it.
Could she have just been overwhelmed?
That's what she told her parents,
- but it was more than that.
- [RINGING]
[ECHOING] There were days many days
when she couldn't even get out of bed.
Is the gun still necessary?
I read a lot,
trying to to understand.
I learned that postpartum can
turn into long-term depression
if left untreated and
there is already a history.
But she was still
able to care for Jalen?
At first.
When I realized she was
becoming a danger to him,
I had to do something about it.
You filed for divorce.
[SOMBER MUSIC]
[ALARM BEEPING]
[ALARM BEEPING]
[GASPS] Oh!
Oh, my God!
- Your picture still hangs ♪
- [PAN CLATTERS]
On the walls ♪
[SOFT MOODY MUSIC]
Your shadow ♪
Walks down these halls ♪
Dinner's almost ready.
Where are the girls?
I took them to my mother's.
Where have you gone? ♪
I'm sorry. I can't do this anymore.
The girls are suffering, Margaret.
It's been nine months
seeing you like this every day.
Well, I mean, I'm doing the best I can.
It's not enough.
I'm not accusing anyone anymore, okay?
I heard you months ago. All right?
I knew it was crazy.
I yelled at the girls for
probably not being honest
and taking the train, but
What else do you want from me?
I'm drowning, Margaret.
You sleep all day,
spend all night at the bus station.
I need to give the girls
some sense of normalcy.
I'm saying we're leaving.
Don't you care?
I only have so much fight left in me,
and I need it for Jamie.
Where are you? ♪
You won't fight for our daughters?
For me?
Where are you? ♪
[DOOR OPENS, SLAMS]
It's all right there
in the trial transcript.
Read it! Look at the lies
her parents and that
that shrink told about me.
There's no way Jalen said I abused him.
I never would!
I am trying to see your perspective,
but without knowing all of the facts
I just told you the facts.
[TENSE MUSIC]
When you found me and
Jalen, was I hurting him?
- Was he in danger?
- It's not that simple.
No!
When you pried him from my arms,
he clung to me.
He was afraid of you, not me.
I'm never getting Jalen back.
I should just make you
pay and end this now.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
You're right. I messed up.
My job was to return Jalen to Dalia,
and that's what I did, but
I am not the same person
that I was back then.
Please, allow me to fix my mistake.
There is still hope.
Monty, I I know what it feels like
to have no fight left.
But Jalen needs you to hold on, for him.
You better pray you're right
because either I'm
leaving here with my son,
or none of us are leaving.
You wasted your time coming down here.
We can't help you.
If we could just call Dalia
and get Jalen on the phone with Monty
We are not gonna help
you bring that monster
back into our grandson's
life the answer is no.
I know how scared you are.
When I escaped my
kidnapper, my mom's only priority
was to keep me safe.
You're trying to protect
your family, and so are we.
Monty threatened to hurt our friends
if we don't get answers about Jalen.
Now, we would never
put Jalen in jeopardy,
but we're worried about our family too.
[TENSE MUSIC]
Dalia and Jalen aren't
staying with us anymore,
and we don't know where they are.
Why didn't you say so before?
Things weren't easy
when Dalia and Jalen
came to live with us.
She never amounted to much.
Still lived with us
until she met Monty
her biggest mistake.
Why didn't you approve of Monty?
Because he was broke?
Didn't fit the country club lifestyle?
Because he threw scalding
water on our grandson.
Monty convinced everyone
that it was an accident,
but we never believed that.
But we made sure that he
could not come near Jalen again
after the divorce.
We hoped
that Dalia would finally
take responsibility for her life,
but she hadn't changed,
so we took over Jalen's care.
And then one day,
about three months ago,
Dalia just took Jalen and vanished.
We knew Monty was getting out of prison.
I thought she just wanted
to get away from him.
But why disappear from our lives too?
Maybe because home is
supposed to be a safe place,
and you both turned it into
Dalia's judgmental prison.
How did you get my name?
We can't disclose the
name of our client, Norma,
but they are concerned about
Dalia, and thought you could help.
I understand you and Dalia are close.
We were.
Had been since high school,
until she ghosted me three months ago.
- Did you guys have a fight?
- No.
She was terrified Monty
was getting out of prison.
I assume she took Jalen and ran.
I don't blame her.
You seem pretty casual about
your best friend disappearing.
What I am is glad
that she's putting miles
between her and Monty.
He was awful to Dalia.
Dalia had a difficult time as a new mom.
It's normal. Newborns are hard.
But Monty made her
feel like a bad mother.
Were you concerned
that something more
serious was happening?
I know Dalia had previous
mental health issues.
I knew she wasn't herself,
but not to the extent Monty claimed.
He tore her down so
he could control her,
and when he couldn't,
he tried to take Jalen away.
Who does that?
Is there some, um, special place
that Dalia would go for safety?
And is it is it possible
that, uh that her parents
- are hiding her and Jalen?
- No.
Look, all I know for sure is,
if Dalia doesn't want to
be found, she won't be.
Thank you, Norma.
If you think of anything
She's a lying bitch!
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
Damn it, Trent, pick up!
What are you doing? What happened?
Gabi turned off my camera
access throughout M&A,
but I can still listen.
Monty is losing it.
They're not safe in there.
- So you called Trent?
- He's not answering.
- We should just call 911.
- No. Wait. Dhan is at M&A.
He's casing the back
to see if he can get in.
A swarm of cops
arriving will spook Monty.
Please tell me we're
close to finding the son.
No.
But the parents hired a PI.
He's got feelers out on Dalia's car.
The PI said he'll let us
know if he finds anything.
All he's gonna find is
that Dalia's phone is off.
And the last calls she made were
to Monty's brother Marlon
and Norma three months ago.
After that, radio silence.
I'm on her financials now,
and I've got a call out
to Marlon, but that's it.
[PHONE BUZZES]
- What?
- Oh, God.
Trent found Jamie, and
they're pulling up to M&A.
Hey!
You can't go into M&A right now.
Why not?
We're fumigating.
Uh, Jamie, why don't
you, uh, wait in the car?
Whatever. I'm calling my mom.
What the hell is going on?
Just take Jamie to the station.
- I'll fill you in later.
- No. Fill me in now.
- What is up?
- You're lying.
Margaret shared her location with me
so I could always find
her her phone's inside.
If you try to go in, it
could get your mom killed.
There's a man inside holding
Gabi and Margaret hostage.
- I'm calling in a negotiator.
- Don't.
A swarm of cops will scare
him into doing something crazy.
This man wants Gabi to find
his son, and we want to help.
Let us try our way first.
Trust me on this.
Wait. My mom's in danger?
No, no, no. Mom? Mom?
Mom, I'm here! Mom!
Let go!
- [MUFFLED SHOUTING]
- That's Jamie.
- Sit down. I said, sit
- No! Let me out!
- I need to get to my son.
- I'll shoot.
No! No!
[GUN CLICKS]
[HIGH-PITCHED RINGING]
You are a father trying
to reunite with your son.
She is a mother trying
to reunite with hers.
Gabi, don't.
A son that she just
got back after 13 years.
Please let her go.
Your beef is with me.
I'll stay.
[SOMBER MUSIC]
Where's Gabi?
She sacrificed herself
so I could be with Jamie.
All entrances and exits are chained.
- There has to be another way.
- There isn't.
This is what Dhan was
looking for when you pulled up.
Where is Dhan, anyway?
He left without saying a word
as soon as he dropped
off Margaret and Jamie.
You bring everything?
What's going on? Trent? Dhan?
- We're going in to save Gabi.
- The hell you are!
No, Dhan, that's not a good idea.
I won't just leave Gabi
in there to fend for herself.
- We're trained for this.
- And what's Monty gonna do
when you bust in,
huh shoot or surrender?
This guy went crazy when
we found him with Jalen.
I had to physically detain him.
He will do whatever it
takes to get Jalen back.
We need to do the same for Gabi.
- No, no, no!
- You're gonna get Gabi shot!
- She's vulnerable alone.
- This isn't even your call.
What would Gabi want you to do?
My mom says Gabi is
sincerely trying to help this man.
What would she want you to do?
She'd want us to trust
her and stay away.
Dhan, come on. We're wasting time.
We've seen Gabi work miracles.
If anyone can get
through to Monty, she can.
We need to let her try.
Yeah, well, you're wrong.
I've seen situations like this
go sideways too many times.
[LINE BEEPS]
- [SCOFFS]
- Oh, my God.
Zeke? Zeke, are you there?
Gabi. Gabi, I'm here.
We all are.
Good. We need to work the case.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
No one's seen Dalia for three months.
Marlon said she was
struggling last he knew.
Come on, there's got to be more.
Dalia and Jalen are out there somewhere.
Monty, you mentioned
you lost contact with Jalen.
There would have been a no-contact order
because he was a child victim,
so how were you communicating?
Jalen made drawings for
me sometimes with little notes.
Dalia gave them to Marlon,
who took photos to
show me when he visited.
Is it just me, or does Marlon feel
like he's square in the middle of this?
Marlon wouldn't do anything to hurt me.
- He's not involved.
- Maybe so,
but he probably knows
more than he thinks.
He's a hard man to get ahold of, Gabi.
He does landscaping,
under-the-table work.
Rock Solid Lawn or something.
[KEYS CLACKING]
Okay, there's a handful of companies
with names that are close.
We'll start calling.
- [KEYS CLACKING]
- [INDISTINCT WHISPERING]
Thank you so much.
That was Rocky Turf Lawn Care.
Marlon's on a job right now.
Wait.
I just got into Marlon's bank records.
[BEEPING]
Dalia was sending him $500 a week
for months leading up
to her disappearance.
Well, maybe he is mixed up in this.
Could be the money she used to run.
You want to tag along and find out?
Mom, you want to go?
Um, a actually, why don't you,
uh why don't you go with Dhan?
I'd like to stay close in
case Gabi needs me, okay?
Let's go.
[WHISPERING] Thank you.
[SOMBER MUSIC]
[DOOR OPENS]
[SIGHS]
Hey.
Hey, it's okay.
Okay, we got you.
You're safe now.
I'm going to make sure Gabi is too.
I promise.
[LAWN EQUIPMENT WHIRRING]
Aren't you going to yell at me
for disappearing on Margaret last night?
Isn't that why you wanted
me to come with you?
[SOFT MUSIC]
I know you all think I put
Peter in Gabi's basement.
Detective Trent said you
found my cigarette butts.
Look, I was at Gabi's last night,
but only to apologize for being an ass.
She asked me to help with the case.
She had her faith in me, and I blew it.
I had a few smokes while I waited,
but when she didn't
come home, I left, I swear.
And the reason Detective
Trent found me at the bus station
- is because I
- You were looking for answers.
Trust me, I get it.
You're confused about
what your kidnapper did.
They loved you, but now
you know your mom does too,
and it doesn't gel.
I wanted answers when I came back.
It's human nature it doesn't
make you a bad person.
Wow.
Either you're totally rattled
or the DNA results came back.
What you did today
it's the same instinct
I'm fighting right now
to put my life on the line for Gabi.
You risked your life for Margaret.
I don't need I don't need DNA.
You're her son.
It's Marlon.
I hear you want to talk to me.
[DOOR CLUNKS, BUZZER BLARES]
Heavy Boots, back
for another inquisition.
Did Gabrielle figure
out what my note meant?
- Ah, you haven't told her yet?
- [BUZZER BLARES]
Your instincts warn you not to.
Are you that afraid of the
truth surrounding your father?
I'm not here to talk about my father.
I am here about Gabi.
I need to break into M&A.
You found a way to get in undetected,
and you are going to tell me how.
- Is Gabrielle in danger?
- I don't have time for this.
Clearly, Gabrielle needs my help.
So you better start talking fast.
And just so that we're clear,
if anything happens to
her during whatever this is,
I will make you pay personally.
If she dies, you die.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
Margaret, it's time to get up.
Jamie needs you.
[SOMBER MUSIC]
Come on, girl.
They left me.
Darryl, the girls, all my friends
they all just left me.
I know, honey.
But they've been gone a week,
and you still managed to make it
to the station every night.
Tonight is no different.
Let's get out there and get
some flyers in some hands.
Look, I can't speak
for your blood family,
but I'm here.
Carrie and the whole crew are waiting.
I can't thank you guys enough.
Hey, we're lucky to get one,
maybe two real friends in this lifetime.
When we find them, we show up for them,
no matter what.
I was told once that we
only get one, maybe two
real friends in a lifetime, and
Gabi's been that for me.
But I
just left her in there.
I abandoned her.
Come on, we both know
Gabi would have raised hell
if you refused to leave.
You know, we're all so tight,
I often forget you, Gabi, and Dhan met
because of Jamie's case.
How'd you and Gabi
become such good friends?
I mean, you didn't find him
then, so how'd you get past it?
When Jamie was
taken, I lost all my friends.
There were a couple
from my bus station group
that hung around as
long as they could
Rena and Carrie especially
but I didn't make it easy for them.
When I met Gabi, she treated
me like a mother with with hope
and not this crazy
woman who couldn't let go.
She she understood my
pain, and she shared her own.
She made me feel less alone.
Yeah, same.
She was the only one
who was real with me
in our online support group.
She made me feel safe.
Zeke, that's it.
I know how Gabi can
get through to Monty.
I can tell this isn't you
the gun, the anger.
You're taking a big risk.
If you get caught, you'll
never see your son again.
Is that what you want?
I want my son to be safe.
- [COMPUTER BEEPS]
- Hey, Gabi.
Someone's sniffing
around the front doors.
We need to make sure they
don't have news on Dalia.
Where do you think you're going?
Stay here.
And don't move.
Gabi, are you there?
Yes, I'm here.
- Who's at the door?
- No one.
I need you to just listen.
We don't have much time.
Gabi, you need to take your walls down.
What are you talking about?
Like you did with me,
with all of us at some point.
When we met, you showed me the real you,
and and it made me trust you.
You need to do the same now.
No one was there.
I just
I was taken as a child.
For 20 years, my kidnapper roamed free,
tracking me.
That is why I took
Jalen without question.
How old were you?
Someone I trusted
took me from my father.
I was able to escape,
but I was never free.
The threat of him, his influence,
it lived on inside of me.
I still don't go by my full name,
because he hijacked
it and made it perverse.
To this day, he is the only
one who calls me Gabrielle.
Why are you telling me this?
All I was thinking about
that day was saving Jalen
from going through what I went through.
But I know now not
every case is my case,
that trauma and pain
can cause good people
to do things they never imagined.
They did for me.
I was wrong to only
see you as a criminal.
I misjudged you, and I am sorry.
I've played that moment
over and over again
for three long years
[CRYING] The last time I held my boy
and I've been so afraid
that something terrible
would happen to him.
You really think Dalia would hurt Jalen?
Not intentionally, but
bad things happen when she's not well.
Jalen's burns
it wasn't your fault, was it?
Dalia was supposed to be watching him.
She put water on to boil
and then just wandered off.
Jalen climbed up and
pulled the pot onto himself.
You never told anyone?
I never wanted anyone to look at her
like they've looked at me since.
And how would Jalen look at you now?
Don't let this be your
legacy for your son.
[BREATHES SHAKILY]
The money Dalia sent Marlon
was to help her secure a place to live.
Jamie and I found Dalia's apartment.
It's in a good
neighborhood, not a hideout.
She was planning on living there.
They also found the custody trial,
a laptop, and this.
It's from the court.
They denied Dalia's request
to have the no-contact
order on Monty lifted.
Dalia was trying to find a way
for Monty to be in Jalen's life again.
I'm still going through Dalia's laptop,
but I found something
that Monty should see.
Dear Mom and Dad, I've
decided this is my time
damn it. [SIGHS]
Um
Jalen and I are leaving,
and once Montgomery gets free,
I'm going to reunite my family.
It's what I want. It's what Jalen needs.
If you want to see Jalen again,
you need to get on board.
It's my life.
She wanted to reconcile?
If that's true, where the hell are they?
If Dalia's parents thought
they were gonna lose Jalen
No, no way. We met with them.
Their concern and regret were sincere.
Okay, so we know Dalia's actions
were connected with
her parents, but how?
Something's been bothering
me about the custody trial.
Dr. Gloria Bradshaw's testimony,
the child psychologist
something seems off.
But we all read the transcripts.
- There's nothing there.
- That is precisely my point.
George Orwell's "1984"
is one of my favorite books.
The concept of manipulating
a whole society through
Manipulating language.
Okay, summa cum laude,
you hit it on the head.
Look, this is about
her intake with Jalen.
See how she phrases her comments?
"Jalen confirmed. Jalen
agreed. Jalen upheld."
She never says "Jalen says."
Jalen didn't corroborate the abuse.
She lied and covered her sorry ass.
Dalia wanted to reconcile with Monty
but kept running into roadblocks
first her parents, then the courts.
The only recourse she had
was to prove that Bradshaw lied.
Margaret, Dhan, talk to Bradshaw.
Lacey, see if you can't get to
[BOTH GRUNT]
Trent, no!
Montgomery Clark, you're under arrest.
[HANDCUFFS CLICKING]
This guy held you at gunpoint.
Now you're defending him?
Did you see a gun when
you flew in here half-cocked
and tackled my client?
Guys, little help?
My M&A feed is down.
I can't see anything in there.
I just got here, so
Fine. Margaret will give a statement.
You sure about that?
My mom lost me for years.
I think she probably understands Monty
better than anyone.
From what I hear, if I say
a crime wasn't committed,
it wasn't committed isn't
that how the law works?
What's happening?
Trent was just about
to uncuff our client
and stop wasting our time.
Like I said, no crime
was committed today.
Great, um, because we
spoke with Dr. Bradshaw.
Bradshaw confirmed
that Dalia confronted her
about lying during the custody hearing.
I mean, she didn't admit to lying,
but she did confirm that
Dalia's parents hired her
to coerce a confirmation
of abuse from Jalen.
- When did Dalia confront her?
- Three months ago.
Gabi, Bradshaw said that
Dalia seemed unstable,
like she was in crisis.
Before Dalia left,
she said she just
needed her misery to end.
Bradshaw fears she may
have done something drastic.
She was telling the truth, Gabi.
Bradshaw said drastic. How drastic?
Guys, I just finished going
through Dalia's laptop.
I found this.
"Jalen, I'm sorry I haven't
been a good mother.
It pains me to leave
you, but I'm grateful
you'll be safe without me."
I don't buy it.
Dalia was fighting
to get her family back.
She had a plan for her future.
She wouldn't just give all of that up.
Gabi, remember what you told me
when you first found me in crisis?
- You said
- "Let go of the past.
Your old life has to end
before a new one can begin."
Yeah, I checked myself
into a treatment center
and got help to do that.
What if Dalia did the same thing?
It's clear that Dalia is willing to do
whatever it takes to
move on to a new future
with with Jalen and Monty.
Didn't you say you
tried to help Dalia once
when you were married?
Where did you want to send her?
There was a place near our
home Sprawling Springs.
Maybe Dalia finally went to the place
she knew Monty trusted to help her.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
Dalia Clark?
I'm Gabi Mosely, Monty's friend.
We've been looking for you and Jalen.
How how did you find me?
Monty came to us.
Finding people is what we do.
Oh, God, he must be
so worried about Jalen.
- He must hate me.
- He doesn't hate you.
He was just as worried about you too.
We all were.
Dalia
where's Jalen?
I had to hide him.
I couldn't trust my parents.
We know about their
agreement with Dr. Bradshaw.
You did the right thing by Jalen.
I gave them so much control
because I was ashamed
to admit I wasn't well.
I knew it was time to finally get help
so I could be a good mother,
so I checked myself in here.
Dalia
where is your son?
[SOFT MUSIC]
Baby.
There I go again ♪
[SIGHS] I am so sorry.
I should have never let my
parents take all the control.
It's not your fault. You were sick.
I'm just grateful you're okay.
Gabi, Jalen's here.
I placed Jalen with Norma
and asked her to keep it a secret.
I didn't tell her anything
else about my plan
or how I felt about you.
I didn't want anyone
to use this against me
to take Jalen away.
Daddy, you're back!
- Jay!
- You're back.
Aww. [LAUGHS]
How do we start? ♪
I'll work with the court to get
the no-contact order terminated.
You'll be with your son again soon.
And I'll keep him safe until then.
I owe you that much, Monty.
I can admit when I was wrong.
Thanks, Norma, but I
actually need you to keep Jalen
until Dalia's done with
her treatment in two weeks.
I'm ready to be taken in.
No, Monty.
I'm not pressing charges.
Neither is Margaret.
It's okay, Gabi.
I knew this is always
how things would end.
I committed a crime today,
and I need to serve my time.
I can't start this second
chance with my family
without a clean slate.
We'll visit you every day,
and we'll be here waiting
for you when you get back.
I love you.
You really have changed.
Thank you for seeing a father today.
How do we start? ♪
How do we start again? ♪
ALL: Welcome home.
Trent is with the ADA,
advocating for them to go easy on Monty.
- [CHUCKLES]
- [LAUGHING] Okay, okay.
I love you too.
I have a date with a hot shower.
I'll meet you back at the motel.
Oh.
Gabi, I
You would have done the same for me.
I have something very
important to tell you.
This morning, I went to see Sir
to ask him about his visit with Jamie.
But but when I was
leaving, I bumped into Heather.
Let me guess she wants
you to testify against me.
Gabi, I think
no, I know
that Heather is Sir's sister Lena.
[TENSE MUSIC]
Are you sure?
I know it's crazy
but the familial traits are all there.
But if Gabi doesn't stop sending people
to try to convince my client
into taking the plea deal,
we're gonna have a problem.
That means it wasn't Christian.
Heather's been Sir's
accomplice all along.
How long has she been here?
How could we not have known?
- What are you going to do?
- I don't know.
But one way or another,
we are taking Heather down,
and when we do, it needs to be for good.
[DOOR CLUNKS, BUZZER BLARES]
Where's Gabrielle?
Off living her life, without you.
You really thought that I
would sacrifice my best friend
for answers from you?
Answers you want but now will never get.
No, that's where you're wrong.
I don't need to know what
you and Jamie talked about.
My son is home, and he loves me.
I have a second chance with him.
And after everything
that I went through today,
that's enough.
It's time to lay the past to rest.
How very forgiving of you.
Surely you didn't come
down here this late
with a storm approaching just to gloat.
No.
I came to make sure that you hear me
when I say that I am onto you.
You see, you always think
that you're one step ahead of everyone.
But you're wrong, because I'm me.
You know what my superpower is.
And from now on,
it'll be trained on you.
I'll make sure that you
never hurt Gabi again.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
Don't worry, Margaret.
The clouds will part eventually.
Just give it a minute.
Where did you hear that?
From Jamie.
Apparently, it was something
his mother always said to him.
I assumed he meant you, but perhaps
