He's trying to get into my house! We've been through this before.
I'm sorry.
I don't have time to talk right now.
Katie, please? Honey, I'm sorry.
I'm hanging up.
Who's the boss talking to? His son.
You're kidding me? Why, what's going on? Well, he hasn't seen him in ten years.
When his wife left, he was deemed "unfit.
" Well, he's a different guy now.
I thought I should tell you in person.
You know, it'd be the right thing to do.
There's been a pileup on the I've got her on my line now.
She's asking for you again.
She's flagged; repeat caller.
She's gonna call back.
All right, put her through.
Alexis, listen to me.
He's in the house! Who's in the house? He's back! He came back! Run, Alexis! He's back! Who's in the house, Alexis? I need cars, 235 Creekside.
Alexis? Say again.
Where are you in the house? No, no! Run! He shot her! Find someplace to hide, Alexis! Kate, I didn't get the address.
Say again! Alexis?! Alexis?! He's coming! Who's coming? Daddy! Alexis! Kate, I need the address.
It's 235 I'll do it! I'll do it.
SRU.
Shooting in progress, Copy that.
Stay on the line.
Team One, hot call! Gear up.
Just hold on.
Winnie? Shots fired, in progress.
Look, I'm sorry.
I gotta do this.
Yeah, right.
Of course you do.
No, no.
Just wait here for me.
I-I, I should really go.
No, no, please, please, please? All right.
Movie's over in an hour.
All right, thanks.
Winnie? Yeah, I'll watch him.
Feed me on the fly.
Copy that.
Come on.
Pull up a bench, hang with me.
SRU en route.
What do we know? It's a possible domestic.
Um, I heard the shot.
There's a child involved! Oh, my Oh, my God! Say again? I hung up on her! And she called me! I hung up on her! Oh, my God! Winnie, what do you got for us? Home phone is registered to a Heather Sobol, caller's presumed her daughter, Alexis.
What else? That's it.
Something's going down at became emotional, and I can't get her online.
Winnie, just get us some background! I'm downloading the call.
You all right? Not now, Eddie.
Greg Dean wants me to drop the lawsuit.
He says he's 16, he doesn't want to be forced to see me.
He's already got a stepdad that he loves back home, he's already got a family.
He's planning on taking his stepdad's name.
Boss, I got the 911.
He's in the house! He came back! Run, Alexis! He shot her! Find somewhere to hide, Alexis! He's coming! Daddy! Alexis?! She's gone.
How's she doing? The bullet grazed her skull.
We need to talk to her as soon as we can.
Find out what happened here.
She's unconscious, and we're stabilizing her.
Let's get a read on the house.
I'll get started.
That back gate was forced from the outside.
Before the second shot was fired, Alexis called Daddy.
Sounds like an estranged father abducting his kid.
Yeah, but she didn't say her dad was breaking in on the 911 call.
Could be displacement.
She wants to keep her mom safe at the same time as not incriminating her own father.
Let's put out an Amber Alert.
I'm gonna go find a photo.
Sam, Wordy, let's talk to the neighbors.
We have CCTV.
There are cameras outside, too.
And we got motion detectors.
Mrs.
Sobol was worried about unwanted company.
I'm not seeing any photos of Alexis.
Actually, I'm not seeing any photos of anything.
No photos here, either.
No school calendar, no family pictures.
Hey, Spike, I think I know where those cameras fed to.
You heard two gunshots? That's right.
Did you see anyone come out the front? No.
What do you know about the Sobols? Uh, they mostly kept to themselves.
I only talked to the man once.
Philip.
He was kind of rude.
Never looks you in the eye.
So, Philip was living with his wife and daughter? Yeah.
They had a kid? I never saw her.
Did you ever see them argue? No, I hardly saw them at all.
Anyone hurt? Everyone's gonna be fine.
We heard the gunshots and thought She was very lucky.
Okay, folks, thanks.
Philip and Heather Sobol weren't estranged.
Maybe the intruder's someone else.
All those closed-circuit cameras fed into one computer.
Can we play 'em back? No, someone ripped out the hard drive.
But we found a safe.
And it's a Group Two Combo.
Easy-peasy.
That's an advanced technical term.
It means they didn't change the try-out combination.
We're in.
Boss, I checked into the Sobol family.
What do you got? Nothing.
Nothing? On paper, this family does not exist.
No bank accounts.
No government records.
Their house is a rental.
How long have they been living here? Three months.
They paid in cash.
SRU.
Speaking of cash-- there's like 40 or 50,000 here.
We got fake I.
D.
's.
Same faces and different names.
Maureen, Andrew and Sasha Lowell from Ontario the Keeflers from Manitoba, and the Feldmans from B.
C.
What's going on here, guys? Identity theft? Maybe they're on the run.
She wanted Daddy to protect her.
She cried "Daddy" because she wanted him to protect her.
Check your PDA's.
Winnie, I'm forwarding you photos of the father and the daughter.
Alert all officers within a 20-block radius we're looking for an armed pursuer.
Who, hopefully, hasn't already caught up with them.
Boss, I've got 911 on the line.
They say Alexis Sobol just called in.
That's great.
Put her through to me.
I can't.
They lost her.
But the supervisor wants to talk to you.
Okay.
Sergeant Parker, Sergeant Morello.
Hey, Sergeant, you had Alexis Sobol on the line? We did.
And what happened? She hung up.
You get a GPS on her position? No, her phone's no equipped, and we couldn't triangulate in time.
What she say on the call? Nothing.
She wouldn't talk to anyone except Kate.
Kate? Kate Shapland-- she's one of our operators.
She the operator that took the original 911? Yes.
They have a history.
The child's a flagged caller.
"Flagged.
" What does that mean? Alexis is the little girl who cried wolf.
So why does she only talk to Kate? You'll have to ask Kate.
Okay, put her on.
I can't.
She's in bad shape.
She turned Alexis away twice before she heard the gunshots.
You're saying the two of them have a history? Yeah, they got a kind of bond.
Okay, I'm coming down.
You keep her there.
I'm gonna want to talk to her, all right? Thanks for calling.
Okay, you got it.
We need more information on this family.
I mean, maybe we can get something from this Kate.
I mean, let me ask you this-- why would a little girl bond with a 911 operator? I don't know.
That's what I want to find out.
Look at the eyes.
Cute.
She feels trapped.
Get Kate back on the line, in case she calls back.
Those were gunshots.
Everybody down! Shots fired.
3:12 p.
m.
Shots fired.
Get those people out Where is he? I don't see him.
There he is! Hey! Police! Right there, drop it! Drop your weapon! Drop your weapon now! Guys, let's hit the alley.
Let's split up, let's get the alleys.
Let's go, let's go, let's go.
Okay, Wordy, Sam Listen, I'm going to take this offline.
No, please.
I'm sorry.
He's my father.
Single shooter? He was the only one I saw.
He must have been waiting.
As soon as he saw her come out, he raised his gun.
So we pulled her to cover.
Where is she? Mrs.
Sobol, relax.
Where's my? Breathe deeply.
Calm down, ma'am.
Where is she? Deep breaths.
It's going to be okay.
Calm down.
It'll be okay.
Where is Alexis? Daddy, can I please have my phone? I want to call Mommy.
We can't.
Daddy.
It's too risky.
Daddy! Lexie, every time you talk, we can be traced.
You know what we have to do now.
They found us.
Wordy, go less lethal.
Copy.
Eddie, I'm going to switch up, too.
Boss, too dangerous.
What are they doing? Trying not to shoot the subject.
We need him alive.
He's armed.
We can't risk it.
We hit him from both sides.
Sam, we're lethal if he crosses the line.
Copy that.
Police! Stop! Right there! Right there! Right there! Drop the gun! Drop it! Drop it! Right there! Drop your weapon now! Drop it now! Right now! Drop it! Subject secure.
Let's get an I.
D.
Everybody's okay.
Mrs.
Sobol? Okay, slow down.
Slow down.
Please, please Look at me.
Heather? Look at me.
Why was why was that man trying to shoot you? Why are they after your family? I'm sorry, but we've got to get going.
Her family is at risk.
We need to know.
And we've got to get her to a hospital.
I'm coming with you, then.
Let's go.
They're 50 feet behind us.
We'll do the switch in reverse.
Remember? Yeah.
Why were you trying to shoot Heather Sobol? Firing in front of cops like that-- you're either stupid or you've got a death wish.
He's not talking.
Maybe there's someone out there who scares him more than we do.
Where's Alexis? You won't find her.
Oh, no? Not before we do.
We.
Jules, heads up.
There's more than one shooter.
I'm on my way to 911.
Copy that.
Heather, who's attacking your family? Heather? There's three of them.
It was Alexis they wanted, but now we've all seen their faces.
Why are they after your daughter? She was at a sleepover at her best friend's-- Ellie Chambers.
It was three years ago.
And she said they heard the doorbell ring men talking to her friend's dad.
There weren't supposed to be any witnesses.
She thought she heard the men go.
She was worried about her friend.
She saw three men in police uniforms.
A neighbor was leaving.
She jumped in the car.
She got lucky.
They put you in witness protection? They relocated us until the men who did the shooting were caught.
She was at risk and she was the only one who saw their faces.
Jules, this is the Daulton Chambers case.
Daulton Chambers He was a corporate accountant right? Mm-hmm.
Corporate accountant who stumbled onto the wrong paper trail.
He became the key witness in the Lefroy trial.
That case-- it was huge.
Lefroy got off, but Chambers was killed.
That leaves Alexis as a big loose end.
Heather, how did Alexis cope with this? She's terrified of police, of uniforms.
We had to start all over.
Forget friends, forget family.
After two months, they tracked us down.
They broke through the protection, and they came after Alexis.
Philip says they bought off a cop.
But my husband's paranoia paid off.
We were prepared, and we got away.
What if you got separated? We meet one week later.
The next town was Niagara Falls.
New I.
D's.
Start all over again.
We taught Lexie not to trust anyone.
"If the phone rings, you don't answer.
" Only 911 for help.
'Cause they're civilians, and they'll send a real cop.
You don't get to mess this up again.
You don't get to do that.
Okay.
It's a high-stress job.
Yeah, a lot of people can't handle it.
Kate's one of my best.
Alexis called twice before the gunshots? This girl's been calling almost every day for the last month.
And how do you deal with that? Well, if we've got time, we talk, try and reach out.
Usually it's someone lonely.
Try and find them other places to turn to.
And Kate? It went beyond that.
What do you mean? The girl needed someone to talk to.
So did Kate.
She lost her own daughter three years ago.
Okay.
Where is she? She's in the Quiet Room.
I'll take you to her.
Thanks.
Jules get descriptions? Yeah.
We got two accomplices.
These are guys from the Lefroy trial.
That explains why he's not talking.
Yeah, he's not the kind of boss you can afford to disappoint.
Kate.
You're not making me go back out there.
No one's going to make you do anything.
What was I supposed to do? You were doing your job.
When she calls I send a car, and it's-it's a meter reader, it's the neighbor taking out the garbage.
It's I don't know, somebody selling something door-to-door.
How was I supposed to know? I didn't know.
No one's blaming you.
I'm not getting anyone else killed.
You reached out to a girl who is lonely and who is scared.
Now I think she's going to call again, and you need to be strong for her.
But she's No.
No, she wasn't shot.
We think she's still alive, but she's still out there.
We need to find her, and I need your help.
I can't go back out there.
Yes, you can, Kate.
Lexie? I got Alexis.
She wants Kate.
Keep her on that line.
Hang on, honey, she's coming.
Damn it.
Damn it.
All you got to do is ask where she is and to hold tight till we can help her and her dad.
You can do this.
Just tell her that she can trust us.
You ready? You put her through.
Go.
Alexis.
Alexis, never do that to me.
She's not there.
It's disconnected.
Okay, where is she calling from? Uh It's a pay phone.
The bus terminal.
Team One, Alexis just called from a bus station.
Bay Street Terminal? Bay Street Terminal.
Copy that, boss.
We're on our way.
Let's go.
I just wanted to ask if Mommy's okay.
Please, can't we just ask? Listen.
You saw what happened.
She's not.
Maybe she's not.
I'm so sorry, sweetheart.
We can just ask.
Why can't we just ask? Please, Daddy.
We can't.
Remember the rule: We keep moving, and we don't look back.
I'm not going anywhere.
It's what Mommy would have wanted.
More than anything, that's what she would have wanted.
Here's your bag.
I love you.
Let's go.
Guys, there's a bus for Niagara Falls leaving in 15 minutes.
Copy that.
Go ahead.
Get a seat, honey.
She's not in here! Don't move.
He's got a gun! Call off your friend.
No.
You.
Give him your cell phone.
Call him off.
It's over.
He'll get her.
It's over, huh? Okay.
It's over.
You might want to put that gun away.
I don't think so.
Okay, we've got Philip Sobol.
He has got a gun on the subject.
The victim is now the gunman.
Repeat-- the victim is now the gunman.
Any sign of Alexis? It's hard to say.
Let's focus on getting that weapon out of play.
If Philip surrenders his handgun, he could be shot by the subject.
Copy that.
Guys, let's get these civilians out of range.
Let's do it now.
Move.
Let's go, folks.
Please, let's go.
Let's go.
Let's get out of here.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Go, go, go.
This way.
Go.
Go.
Go, go.
Philip Sobol, my name's Ed Lane.
I'm with the Police Strategic Response Unit.
You people are late-- again.
Philip, the passengers on this bus are not involved in your dispute with this man, so I'm going to ask you if you could just release them immediately.
Could you do that? Philip? They can go.
Go! Everybody, go! Everybody out! Thanks, Philip.
Let's go, folks.
Let's go.
People at the front of the bus first.
Let's go.
Excuse me.
Was this little girl on the bus? Sir, did you see this girl board the bus? Is this little girl on the bus? No? Okay.
Ma'am, ma'am, have you seen this girl? SPIKE I think I got somebody.
Go ahead, Spike.
I got a witness who saw her with her father at the public lockers.
Gonna see if they left anything behind.
Will you show me? Hey, boss, if she was traumatized by the police, she might run.
We're going to have to earn her trust.
Yeah, copy that, Jules.
I'm working on it.
I'm listening to the calls she made to 911.
When was the last time you talked to Alexis? KATE It was just yesterday.
What did you talk about? What's he doing? He's profiling.
He's trying to understand Alexis so he can help her.
There's nobody better than him.
Really? Really.
KATE And what about Maurice? How's he doing? Oh, he's good.
He says hi.
Hey, Mo.
Same to you.
He's getting the hang of fractions, finally.
Well, those can be tough.
He didn't understand about, like, how you could have four-thirds or six-fifths.
How can you have more of a thing than the whole thing? That's a smart question.
How'd you explain it to him? I said it's like you're a whole thing.
I'm a whole thing.
But when we're together, we're each sort of more.
Are you there? Yeah.
Wow.
That's a good answer.
She, uh she reminds you of your daughter? Yeah.
When my daughter was sick, we did homework together.
Until the very end.
Yeah, that pain doesn't go away, does it? I mean, this job-- that doesn't make things easier.
You just have to survive other people's losses every day.
People who deserve to live.
Like your daughter.
People who trust you, people who get close to you, people who depend on you.
And then, sometimes sometimes those people just go away.
So what's the point? Why why let anyone matter? Your job and my job, and how precious it is to find someone someone pure, someone real, like a friend, in the middle of all this mess, right? She's not going to want to talk to us-- Alexis.
She's going to want to talk to you.
She doesn't have any friends except you and, uh, Maurice.
Now, you know what she's going through.
Right now, she thinks her mom's dead and maybe her dad.
You got to promise me that you're going to see this through.
I promise.
Guys, CCTV shows them taking out two bags just like this.
It's got Heather Sobol's new I.
D.
, a change of clothes, cash, bus ticket In case they had to travel separately.
Yeah, but here's something I don't get.
What's that? They knew where they were going, so why did they need a GPS tracker? They didn't.
The gunmen must have put it there.
They had a plan B, too.
Okay, Phil, let's end this.
We got your back here.
Like you had our backs three years ago? Phil, I want you to listen to me.
They already got my wife.
I've lost my little girl.
Philip, Heather's alive.
Your wife's alive.
Don't lie to me! I saw her.
She was shot in the head.
She got lucky.
Philip, she got very lucky.
And she's at St.
Pat's, and I am going to take you there, but you know what you got to do here, right? He's got a gun.
And he is going to put that weapon down first.
One wrong move, and we'll take him down.
Wordy.
Going to have to double-tap the glass.
All right, nice and slow.
Nice and slow.
Put that gun down.
Do it now.
Nice and slow, put the gun down.
Nice and slow.
That's it.
That's it.
Set it down.
Okay, Philip, I'll take it from here.
She's a ghost because of you.
Philip She has no friends, no school, no life.
She wakes up crying every night.
She's ten years old, and I have to rock her to sleep every night.
It's all right, buddy.
Come on.
You tried to kill my little girl.
But he didn't, Phillip.
He didn't because of you.
No, Alexis is alive because of you, and right now she needs you.
Don't do this to her, buddy.
She needs you.
Okay.
Subject contained.
Let's go.
JULES Hey, guys.
Alexis borrowed a cell phone from a girl here.
She says Alexis never returned it.
She turned around, and she was gone.
That's good news.
If she kept it, we can call her.
Just send me the number.
And I got her location.
Alexis's GPS unit is emitting the same signal as the one in her mother's bag.
Where is she? Dundas, heading west to Beverly.
On our way.
Here's the number.
Alexis, honey, are you okay? Honey, where are you going right now? I'm tired.
I know.
I can't do this anymore.
Yes, you can.
I'm all alone now.
No, you're not alone.
Your mom and dad They got my mom and dad.
Lexie, listen to me.
Everything's going to be just fine.
I saw them shoot her! Her position's updated.
She's off Beverly, maybe behind the gallery.
They'll just keep chasing me.
I want to stop.
Just keep her on the line.
Lexie, don't give up on me now.
Honey, you got to stay with me, please.
I just want all this to be over.
I lost her.
No, we didn't.
No, no.
Come on, come on.
We're behind the gallery.
No sign of Alexis.
Spike? Her signal stopped moving.
It's 'cause she dropped her stuff.
You know her better than anybody.
You know she's a fighter.
But what does she want? Where would she go? She wants just to be normal.
She wants to stop running.
She wants to be more than three-thirds.
She wants a friend.
Boss, she dropped her stuff in the park.
And there's a playground here.
I see her.
Red sweater in front of a slide.
Boss, there's kids, lots of them.
That's why she's going to the playground.
Okay, team, just keep your distance.
She's still traumatized.
She sees police, she may run.
That park is beside a school.
Spike, we need a lockdown.
No, we can do it.
East Ridge, lock it down! Locking it down.
Uh, let me come.
That was the plan.
Let's go.
We got company.
Looks like the third subject.
He's got the jump on us.
We can't approach from here; the square's too open.
We'll put the kids in danger.
Okay, you go high, I'm gonna go around.
Don't take your eyes off of him.
Sam? In position.
Where is she? Where's Alexis? Philip, we found her in a park.
A park? She's exposed? And my team's gonna keep her safe.
We're gonna take you with us.
Boss, we're on our way.
We got Philip Sobol in custody.
Jules, what do you see? I'm south side.
Alexis is playing, she's exposed.
Subject's about of the play structure.
There civilians in the area? Nine children, three caregivers.
Got to get them out of there.
We do that, we'll be alerting the subject to our presence.
You want all those kids in the crossfire? They're what's keeping her safe.
Alexis knows that.
This guy spent three years chasing down one witness.
He's not going to expose himself to 12 more.
Okay, but, Sam, second she's threatened I got the solution.
We're approaching the park.
Kate you just stay here for now, okay? People are starting to leave; Alexis is exposed.
Come.
The subject's approaching her.
Okay, guys, time to go.
Clara, Hanna, Victoria, Mitchell.
Time to go.
Last cover's leaving.
Copy.
Lillian.
Lillian.
Boss, how much closer? Stand by.
Imminent threat only.
Standing by.
I'm gonna lose him.
No solution, no solution! I haven't slept in three years because of you.
Me, neither.
Subject down.
Alexis? Go away! You can come out.
It's over.
Go away! Alexis? Honey, it's me.
It's Katie.
Katie? Alexis.
I've been lost You good? We're good.
How are you? Good debriefing without me? How'd it go? It was good.

Come on.
Uh, yeah, we used to go over to your place.
That's right.
Clark? That's right.
You guys were the same age.
Good.
You had that, uh, golf course behind your place, right? Yeah, we used to steal golf balls when people got them on the green.
So how's the life of crime going? I've pulled back a bit.
That's good to hear.
Good to see you, Dean.
You, too.
All right.
Yeah, we'll see you later.
Okay.
You hungry? I buy you a pizza? You got any pasta? I could make something.
