The Listener s03e11 Episode Script

Oh, come on! - Hey.
- Hey.
What's going on? What happened? - Does the five-second rule apply to canned goods? No.
Come on, are you kidding me? Seriously.
- What, are you hitting the heavy bag again? - Yeah.
You know, Olivia would hate to see you punishing yourself like this.
It helps me clear my mind.
What's going on with you? You look winded.
Yeah, well, I just had to jog half a dozen blocks trying to keep this frozen yoghurt from melting, so - Uh-huh.
- Phew! Really feeling the burn right now.
Let me guess: the car's acting up again, huh? Acting up? No, this was complete vehicular betrayal, my friend.
I gave the Red Thunder the best two years of my life, plus a kick-ass name, and how does it pay me back? By cacking out two blocks outside the Fresh Co parking lot! How's your new case going, by the way? You making any progress? Yeah, you know, 15 break-ins, one woman's dead, three other guys were beaten.
You know, we're still at square one.
You all right? Yeah.
I'm sure you'll figure it out.
Yeah, well, we better soon.
The whole city's freaking out.
Ohhhh! Forget the fro-yo.
it's just "yo" now.
- No, no, no.
This is the best.
- Really? Put it in the microwave.
Come on.
I'll get a spoon.
- We can save this.
- That's disgusting.
Pete? Diane? - 9-1-1.
- Hey! Ugh! Oh! Oh! - Ah! - Oh! Ah! Well, let's get the hell out of here! I'm here at this Rosedale home where yet another break-in has turned violent, leaving a man in hospital in serious condition.
He joins four other victims of similar attacks, including 26-year-old Tara Simms, who was beaten and killed in her Richmond Hill home last week.
This, despite the mayor's promise - You OK? - Yeah.
I keep expecting Olivia to walk around the corner.
Everything about this place reminds me of her.
Yeah.
I felt the same way when my dad passed away.
Couldn't walk through a precinct without hearing his voice in my head.
Hey.
Oh, hey.
I figured I'd be seeing you guys here.
- How's he doing? - Daniel Norton, age 43: multiple contusions, bruised kidney, and a grade- three concussion, So, in short, he's messed up pretty good.
- Can we see him? - He's awake, but, uh, I don't know how cognitive he'll be.
Yeah, brain injuries are tricky things.
You know what? I'll take you.
Mr.
Norton, I'm Sergeant McCluskey.
This is Toby Logan.
We're with the IIB.
We'd like to ask you a few questions - about last night's attack.
- I don't remember much.
We understand.
Anything you can give us - would help.
- I'll do my best.
- Five minutes.
That's it.
- Yeah.
Did you get a look at your assailants? It was dark.
It happened so fast.
It's OK.
Take your time.
Two guys wearing black ski masks.
We struggled I grabbed at one of their masks.
Saw his face.
- Ooh! - Would you be able to give us a description? He was white.
I don't I'm sorry, I-I didn't get a good look.
OK.
Is there anything else you can recall? Blinding flash of light, and then I don't Can't Was there someone else there? I thought maybe I saw but OK.
Get some rest.
Thank you for your time.
OK, when you say "costume", you mean like, uh, Spiderman? More like Batman-- dark, hiding in the shadows.
- You sure he was really there? - I don't know.
If he thinks he saw it, then I saw it.
Well, Norton suffered serious head trauma, which makes him an unreliable witness, so for now let's just focus - on the crime itself.
- OK, well, once again, the target house was in a quiet, white-collar neighbourhood.
Right.
And the two perps fit the description given to us by the previous witnesses, which supports the theory that this is the work of the same crew.
- These attacks are escalating.
- It's also consistent with the pattern.
It's only a matter of time before they kill again.
All the more reason to figure this out quickly.
I just spent the last 20 minutes getting torn a new one by our favourite superintendent, - so, please, give me a suspect, a solid lead, anything.
- Well, we're still waiting for the lab to process evidence gathered at the scene, but if it's anything like the others, - we shouldn't hold our breath.
- What about your read of the victim? You said he got a look at one of his attackers? - Yeah.
I did.
Just a glimpse.
- Well, a face doesn't help much unless we can put a name to it.
Well, if he's got a record, he'll be in the database.
I can get Toby set up - with the identi-kit.
- Yeah, do that.
And then check with the pawn shops.
See if there's any recent inventory that's linked to our robberies.
I feel like we're missing something.
I want you to go over the case files of each crime scene again.
Talk to the homeowners, look for patterns, hidden commonalities.
Our best hope of catching these guys is figuring out where they're going to strike next.
Well, that's easier said than done.
Everything points to these houses being chosen at random.
Yeah, I don't buy that.
These crimes are connected.
Let's figure out how.
Hey.
Gift from the lab boys.
It's a hollow copper tube filled with traces of flash powder inside.
Came back clean for fingerprints.
Mm.
So that could be the blinding flashing light Daniel Norton was talking about.
Could be.
It's homemade but well crafted.
Whoever made it knows what they're doing.
You see? There was someone else there.
Looks that way.
How's it going here? No luck matching the face on your read of Daniel? After three hours of this, they all look the same.
Well, why don't you go home and get some rest? I'll give you a call if something else comes up.
OK.
Yeah, I know I missed deadline, but I have a new angle for the piece, so just keep your pants on for 10 minutes, OK? Tia, it's Toby Logan.
- Toby, hey! - Hey.
So sorry.
I thought you were my editor.
Uh, if you're busy right now, I can call you back later.
No, no, it's fine.
It's fine.
It's nice to hear from you.
Are you, uh, still working the home invasion murder? - Yeah.
- Mm.
Jealous.
I wanted that story so bad, but it went to my senior crime reporter.
Let me guess: you had a break in the case, and you're insisting on giving me the exclusive? Not exactly.
Actually, I was hoping you could help me with something.
- Related to the investigation? - Possibly, yes.
OK, shoot.
This might sound weird, but have you guys gotten any reports of a guy walking the shadows, wearing a mask and costume? - Anything like that? - Actually, it's funny you should ask.
We've had a few calls to the hotline, but I assumed that they were pranks.
Well, they probably are.
Do you mind sending me the locations of those sightings just in case? Well, I will send you the call transcripts on one condition.
What's that? If this leads to something, I want first crack at it.
Keep me in the loop as much as you're allowed.
Uh, you know I can't promise anything.
OK, I'll take that as a yes.
Thanks.
You sure your partner's OK with this? What, James? Yeah, he's fine back there.
He's got a book.
- Turn right up here.
- By the way, driving around looking for a rogue superhero, you officially have the coolest job in the world.
Well, he's not a superhero.
You know, it's not like he has powers or anything.
He's just a dude.
You don't know that.
You have powers.
You're a unitard away from being in the Justice League.
Batman never had any powers, and he's widely considered to be the greatest superhero that ever lived.
- He never lived.
He was a comic book character.
- He's alive in here, Toby.
I might be wasting your time here anyway.
I mean, what are the odds that this guy's going to be in the right place at the right time - for us to spot him? - What if I told you there was a way to drastically improve your odds? - How's that? - Check this out.
This is Uni-21 calling all units.
We are on the lookout for a rogue vigilante dressed like a superhero.
Over.
- This is Baker-12.
- Are you loaded, dude? Just keep one eye on the road and another in the shadows.
Whatever.
- Count us in.
- Uni-21, this is Alpha-19.
Yeah, we're in too.
- All right? - Nice.
We have something.
My three favourite words in the English language.
So, I couldn't figure out why they were breaking into some houses while the homeowners were away and some while they were home.
I just chalked it up - to the random nature of the crimes.
- OK.
Turns out there is a common thread after all: all of the owners were supposed to be away at the time the incidents occurred.
Tara Simms, she was booked on a flight to Mexico.
She was turned away at customs because her passport was expired.
You're saying she was murdered because her vacation plans fell through.
Yes.
All the houses were supposed to be empty.
So I was right.
It wasn't random after all.
These houses are being targeted.
Yeah, and whoever is responsible is keeping tabs on the homeowners' activities.
They're being targeted for what exactly? Each victim provided an inventory of stolen items.
There is nothing of significant value taken from any of them.
So what is it they're after? Alpha-19, you still with us? This is Alpha-19.
Sorry for the radio silence.
We had to make a pit stop to gas up.
- We're back on our route.
- Pit stops are a part of life.
- Thanks very much.
- Copy that.
Sorry we couldn't be more help for you.
Ah, don't worry about it, man.
You formed a roving network of paramedics.
It's pretty genius.
Batman would be proud.
- You think? - Yeah.
Yeah, I don't know.
We covered all the hot spots in the city.
If your boy is out there, - we would have found him.
- Maybe he took the night off.
I still got about 10 minutes on my shift.
You want me to keep driving? - Baker-12 calling University-21.
Come in.
- Yeah, go ahead, B-1-twiz.
Either we're losing our minds too, or we may have spotted your guy.
- Excellent.
Where at? - Heading down Indian Crescent.
We've lost visual now, - but he's out here somewhere.
- Roger that.
Thank you.
Nice.
Lock and load.
Hey, whoa, stop here.
Yeah, over there.
Put your lights on him.
Hey there.
How you doing? You all right? Let's take a peak here.
We're here to help you out.
Watch yourself, Toby.
Ooh, OK.
Ooh, OK.
Hey, buddy, you OK? You look like you just went a few rounds with the Hulk.
You know where you are? - You know your name? - I'm Captain Nightfall.
Whoa.
So, how's he doing? Well, he took a pretty good beating, but it could have been worse.
His, um, costume cushioned the blow somewhat.
I wonder if that vest is bullet proof.
He's lucky he didn't have to find out.
Nothing's broken, but he'll be sore for a few days.
Uh, we also ran some blood work while he was out, but now that he's awake and refusing to give us his health card or any personal information, we can't treat him any further.
- You're going to release him? - Soon, yeah.
Just waiting for the on-call doctor to sign off on him.
- Thanks, Sandy.
- I'll see you later? Yeah, you will.
Hey.
How are you feeling? I'll be fine.
Is there something we can call you besides Captain Nightfall? No.
There is no more Tim.
Safeguarding your secret identity.
I can respect that.
I mean, nobody knew who Batman was under the cowl, right? - It's Bruce Wayne.
- Well, that was a bad example.
So, what happened? Who did this to you? Were you trying to prevent another robbery? Look, somebody has to keep these neighbourhoods safe.
No family should have to live in fear.
Hey, I couldn't agree more.
That's why my buddy, T here, is on the case.
The cops are useless.
I've accomplished more in one night than they have in a month.
So, how'd you get involved in this? I I was out patrolling, and I heard the commotion, and I saw these two goons beating on a defenceless man.
I confronted them, they got away.
I've been tracking them ever since.
So, why the costume, the codename? Why not just be yourself? Because that would put my family at risk.
- This is enough.
I've had enough.
Just go.
- Happy? Goodbye to my own son! Now it's time for me to make mine.
Off you go! - Hey, I've got your paperwork ready at the desk.
- OK, thanks.
We'll talk again.
- Hey.
I got your message.
- You should probably get back to work.
- Oh, hey.
Yeah.
OK.
- Where is he? He's in emerg.
He's about to be released.
OK, well, Klein wants him brought in for questioning.
Well, he's trying to help out.
He has no part in this.
No, we don't know that.
He knew where they were going to strike next.
I want to know how.
Hey, have you guys seen your superhero? He hasn't been - officially discharged, but his costume's gone.
- He's gone? - Please tell me you got an ID.
- I think his first name is Tim.
Yeah.
OK, we're on our way.
OK, facial recognition only found the one match, so - is that our guy? - It's hard to tell with the beard.
He has a history of violent crime, did a stint for armed robbery.
Looks like he got released two months ago.
That's right around the time our crime spree started.
Yeah, but he's small time.
There's no way he planned something on this scale.
If he is responsible, he's working for someone else.
Do we have an address or a place - of employment? - Uh well, if anyone knows how to get a hold of him, it'll be his parole officer.
Let's get him out of bed.
I'm frightened I'll do something wrong Without thinking And all this love I can't do anything Tonight I didn't really picture Hawn - as the flyer-delivery type.
- Well, there's not a lot of work out there for ex-cons, and gainful employment is part of his parole.
- That gives him a great opportunity to case houses.
- I already thought of that, but none of the target houses were on his route-- they weren't even in the same neighbourhoods.
- Eric Hawn? - Yeah? - Hey.
IIB.
- We have a few questions - for you about some recent robberies.
- Sure, just give me a sec.
This is a composite of the man you saw in the read.
So, do we have any idea who this guy is in relation to Hawn? I mean, he could be his boss, his partner--I can't say for sure.
I just got a face.
All right, so if we get a match we'll see where it leads.
In the meantime, I've had Metro put an APB out for Hawn.
For now he's still - our only link to these crimes.
- Maybe not.
I mean, Nightfall knew exactly where Hawn and his partner were going to strike next.
- He even claimed to be tracking them.
- Tracking them how? Well, he didn't get that specific, but I still haven't decided if this guy is a misguided good Samaritan, a dangerous vigilante, or a complete whack-job.
- Probably all of the above.
- If he could help us, I think we should let him.
You know where he is? I think I can find him, yeah.
OK.
I'll have Metro pick him up.
No, no, no, wait, wait.
Let me do this my way.
He's not a fan of cops.
I think I can get through to him.
I can't even believe I'm contemplating this.
- Fine.
- Thank you.
Go find Batman.
So, you recognize anything yet? No, but the angle of the tower is right.
We should be close.
- I can't believe you guys are going to team up.
- It's not a team-up.
- I've just got to talk to the guy.
- Well, that's how it starts.
You don't like each other, then you talk, you realize it was all a misunderstanding, and then you team up to defeat a common foe! - Yeah, that's not going to happen.
- Hey, so, uh, I made an appointment at a dealership to go for a test drive.
- Oh, yeah? - Yeah, you want to come with me? I could use a lady's perspective.
My son, right? Bye to my own son! You made your choices.
Now it's time for me to make mine! Hey, hey, hey.
Pull over here.
There he is.
All right, thanks.
See you.
Hey, Tim.
That's your name when you're not Nightfall, isn't it? - How the hell did you find me? - That's your kid back there, is it? Yeah, that's that's my kid.
My wife, she won't let me anywhere near him.
She won't even let me talk to him.
I mean, how messed up is that, right? Kid loves his comic books more than he loves his old man.
I'm not here to give you a hard time, man.
I'm - I need your help.
- What kind of help would a cop want from me? I'm not a cop.
I'm a consultant.
All I need to know is how you figured out - where those robbers were going to strike next.
- No way.
Trade secret.
You know, I saw those flash tubes you made.
They're pretty impressive.
Yeah.
I've always been pretty handy with the gadgets, and electronics too.
I used to work in computers.
Cool.
You, uh, you think you can maybe show me these electronics? - What is this? - I don't know.
- What is this?! You son of a bitch! You set me up! Why? - Whoa, whoa, Tim! Relax! I have no idea what's going on here.
- Timothy Lamb.
Please come with me.
- What's happening? Sorry, hey, IIB.
- Who called this in? - The wife.
Guy's not supposed to be around her or the kid.
Come on.
That restraining order is total crap.
She can't keep me away from my kid.
Inside.
All right.
Whoa.
- Hello? - Hey, Toby.
It's Sandy.
We got the blood work back on your friend from last night.
Hey, yeah, is everything OK? Normally this would be privileged doctor-patient information, but, um, since the patient - is MIA and you're the one who brought him in - What'd you find? He has a rare degenerative blood disorder.
There's really very little we can do other than make him more comfortable.
So what are you saying exactly, Sandy? He's dying, Toby.
He has maybe eight months, a year left at most.
- Did you find the guy from Toby's read of Hawn? - No.
Couldn't get a match.
- The guy's probably never been in the system.
- What about the pawn shops? Yeah, came up empty.
No one's moving the stolen goods yet, which leaves us trying to figure out where our perps will strike next.
There's 16 target houses in nine separate neighbourhoods.
Now, we know the crime itself, it isn't random, but there's still no discernible order to which these houses were hit.
I even looked to see if maybe they all joined together to form, like, a giant pentagram or the face of Elvis or something, but they did not.
- So we're back to square one.
- No, maybe not.
I also built a profile on each neighbourhood where one or more robberies have occurred, and from there was able to extrapolate three other areas that closely match the same parameters but haven't yet been targeted.
So the next robbery could happen in one of those three areas.
Based on the profile, there's a good chance of that.
Nice work.
Thought you might want to get to know your hero a little more.
Amateur boxer turned IT technician.
Brains and brawn.
Too bad he didn't use his gifts a little more wisely.
Aggravated assault, DUI-- Why am I looking at this stuff? He's not the avenging angel you seem to think he is.
I think I can get through to this guy.
Why is this so personal to you? He reminds me a bit of myself.
Do I agree with his methods? No.
But I think his heart's in the right place.
Well, don't fool yourself.
He's not you.
Maybe he's not, but I think that I can stop this guy from getting himself or someone he cares about killed.
You see, that kind of talk freaks me out.
Do you want a coffee or something? No, I don't want a coffee or something.
God, you just don't give up, do you? Man.
We got something for you.
OK.
Yeah, thanks.
- Can I go now? - You've got to read it.
You you understand that? It means that I'm a walking dead man, yeah.
- I got it.
Thanks.
- So you know this already? Hey.
I'm on your side.
I know I can't save my own life, OK? All I'm trying to do is save somebody else's.
Why is that such a terrible thing? I'd rather go out in a blaze of glory than in a hospital bed.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- What's up? - We found Hawn.
What we can tell you is that the body was found in this alley just a few hours ago.
The victim of the shooting has just been identified as 32-year-old Eric Hawn.
So far no arrests have been made in connection with the crime, and Toronto Metro Police are asking anyone with possible - information to plea-- - Homeless man found him.
Two shots to the chest from close range.
Someone didn't like the fact that we were closing in on Hawn.
There's no witnesses, but we're checking security cameras in the area.
Forensics did find this.
It was on Hawn's jacket.
It looks like - an audio surveillance device.
- Someone put a bug on him.
Yeah, the lab is taking a look now.
I'm gonna go check in with them.
You want to come? Actually, uh, - I'll catch you up.
- OK.
Hey.
Tia, what's up? Hey, I just thought I'd check in and see if those phone tips paid off.
I can't talk specifics, but, yeah, they paid off.
Thank you.
I owe you.
See? Now we're getting somewhere.
Mm-hmm.
How about dinner? My treat.
Forget dinner.
I want the exclusive.
You don't even know what the story is yet.
It doesn't matter.
If it's connected to the home invasion, then it's got front-page potential, and that's like our currency around here, so All right.
I get it.
I'll see what I can do.
- Thank you.
That's all I'm asking.
- Cool.
Yeah, so, the lab confirmed that that bug wasn't just a simple audio transmitter; it also has GPS capabilities.
- A tracking device.
- Exactly.
And they also confirmed that it's homemade, just like those flash tubes found at the Rosedale crime scene.
That explains how Nightfall knew where Hawn was going to strike next.
Yeah, I should never have let him go.
He may know who actually killed Hawn.
Maybe, maybe not.
I mean, he was in police custody - at the time of the murder.
- Hey, guys.
I've got to show you something.
So, the only camera that was near the alleyway where Hawn got murdered was in a parking lot across the street.
- Are you saying we have him on camera? - No.
But see that car pulling in? Keep your eyes on it.
Hey, that's the guy that I got from Hawn.
I already ran his plate.
His name is, uh, Albert Jacoby.
He's an investment consultant at Reiser Financial, a local private investment firm.
What's an investment consultant doing getting mixed up with an ex-con? Let's go find out.
Here's the kind of people I associate with: doctors, lawyers, CEOs, CFOs-- your garden-variety multi-millionaires, the kind of people who are extremely conscientious about who handles their investment capital.
So, uh, you can see that, uh, consorting with known criminals would be counterintuitive to my job.
Sure.
Yeah, you got a nice office.
You must do pretty well for yourself.
Not as well as the boys on the 18th floor, but, uh, yeah, sure, I do OK.
What were you doing in the parking lot? I was just picking up my dry cleaning.
I have a receipt here somewhere.
This was supposed to be simple.
You all right? You seem a little nervous.
Of course not.
I'm fine, perfectly fine.
Just be cool.
If they had a warrant, they'd have issued it by now.
Got it.
Here.
Anything else? No, that's good enough for us.
He was worried we had a search warrant.
I think he's hiding something.
Well, we don't have enough to get a search warrant.
Yeah? It's me.
I just got word from Metro.
There's been - another home invasion.
- We're on our way.
It was terrifying.
All I kept thinking was: "Please, don't let us end up like that poor woman.
" - The one who was killed.
- How many of them were there? - Two.
Both wore ski masks.
- Did they take anything? DVD player, some jewellery, a few hundred dollars cash, and my wife's wedding ring.
That's how I got this.
Well, you two are fine now.
So, we have two perps-- same as always.
Either Hawn's already been replaced, or they were always working with a bigger crew, rotating guys between jobs.
You see this? Sorry, uh, is that your laptop out there? It is.
We got lucky on that one.
All our personal stuff's on it.
So, what, they take a DVD player but they don't take a laptop? I compared this list of stolen items with lists from the other target houses, - and I found a commonality.
- Something taken from each house? Actually, it's, um, it's what wasn't taken.
Computers.
Yeah.
Exactly.
At each house, at least one of the computers was left untouched.
So maybe the robberies are just a cover-up for another crime.
Exactly.
It's a good theory, but I need to look at those computers so I can confirm it.
Well, I'm sure the victims will be happy to cooperate.
What's wrong? I just got a text saying that Albert Jacoby's office was - broken into.
- He sent you a text directly? - No, it's unknown.
- Let me run the number.
This gives us a legal excuse to go poke around.
Mr.
Jacoby? I wasn't expecting another visit so soon.
What can I do for you? - What happened here? - Nothing, just a little incident.
Looks like someone turned this place over pretty good.
No, it's fine.
Really.
This is nothing to bother the police about.
Damn it.
So, everything's here? Nothing's missing? Yes, everything is accounted for.
Not a problem.
But I do thank you for your concern.
OK, well, if you change your mind and you want to report this, give us a call.
OK.
- That son of a bitch.
- The footage was taken from Reiser Financial - earlier this evening.
- I think Nightfall's the one who tipped us off.
Well, the text was sent from an internet phone provider, but I'd say it's a same assumption.
- He wants us to know he's helping us.
- This is his idea of helping us? He could derail the entire investigation.
Yeah, but why would he trash the place? What was he looking for? And how did he know - about Jacoby in the first place? - Damn it.
- Here's your answer.
- What? He put a bug on me just like he did with Eric Hawn.
He was listening to us, he knew where we were-- He heard me say that Jacoby was hiding something in his office.
OK, you know what? That's it.
I want this Tim Lamb brought in.
Now.
Yes? Albert Jacoby? I have what you're looking for.
- What? - Your laptop.
- Who is this? I-I don't-- - If you want it back, it'll be a million in cash tonight.
I'll text you the location.
Come alone.
Well, he's not here.
And if he were, I'd have him arrested.
- Do you have any idea where he might be? - Try the bar.
- Which one? - Any one.
Tim was never really fussy.
- Well, thank you for your time.
- Is my dad in trouble? Maybe Captain Nightfall can help him.
Now's really not the time, OK, Dustin? I'm sorry.
He's obsessed with comic books.
It's all he talks about lately.
Mrs.
Lamb, do you have a recent picture of Tim - that we could have? - Sure.
In the den, I think.
Dustin, you know Captain Nightfall? He's my friend.
He comes to visit me sometimes.
Oh, cool, man.
When was the last time you saw him? A few hours ago.
But he said he couldn't see me anymore.
He said that I have to stay up and watch the news tonight.
Yeah? Did he say anything else? I promised I'd keep it safe for him.
Did he give you something? You know, we might be able to use it to help your father.
Can you get if for me? Oh, thanks.
So, Tim left this stuff with his kid earlier.
What do we have? A laptop, keys, cash.
Yeah, his personal stuff.
He's not expecting to need them anymore.
Well, maybe there's something on the laptop that will lead us to him.
Hello.
Come to Daddy now.
There you are.
Hey.
Is that the computer - from the last break-in? - Yeah, - and it's been tampered with.
- How so? It's been infected with a sophisticated form of spyware that copies information and transfers it to an outside system.
It's great for stealing intel that normal hacking can't crack, like secure accounts with layers of encryption.
Right.
And they did this without anyone noticing? Well, it's as simple as plugging in a flash drive and hitting Enter.
OK, so, where does the information go exactly? Any computer can be set up as a receiver and record data from any number of targets.
You're kidding.
I think I know what Nightfall stole from Jacoby's office.
He left the evidence with his kid for safekeeping.
So, Jacoby's computer contains all the financial information of every one of our victims.
Bank balances, trading account numbers, passwords-- luckily no money has been transferred yet.
But without this laptop, he can't access anything.
Jacoby would kill to get this back.
Didn't you say that Lamb told his kid to watch the news tonight? Yeah, I'm guessing he's planning to confront Jacoby.
But without this to trade, he's a dead man.
I think that was always the plan.
Doesn't she handle beautifully? The test drive is my secret weapon.
Once you're behind the wheel of this baby, you're sold.
Hey, what do you think, Toby? Red Thunder 2.
0? - What's the mileage like? - Best in its class, hands down.
You hear that? Hands down he said.
Michelle, what's up? Hey.
So, Nightfall's on his way to meet with Jacoby.
- Right now? Are you sure? - Yeah, we ran Jacoby's phone records.
He was sent a text demanding a meet at nine o'clock at a warehouse a the corner of Queensway and Cawthra.
It was the same phone used to tip us off to the robbery at Jacoby's office.
That is why Tim said goodbye to his son tonight.
He's not expecting to get back from this.
I'm leaving now.
Should I pick you up on the way? Actually, you know what? I'm closer.
I'll meet you there.
- Is everything OK? - Queensway and Cawthra in a hurry, man.
Hey, I've been wantin to open this baby up.
It's time to take the highway to the danger zone.
We should take the side streets.
The highway's probably a mess right now.
OK, let's take side streets to the danger zone.
- I'm sorry, what's happening? - Oh, don't worry about it, boss.
Just buckle up.
It's about to get a little bumpy.
Woooo! Woo-hoo! Ooh, a little snug there.
Pull over! Let me show you the trunk space! Woo.
Man, oh, man.
I think I might have to buy this car.
Great! Why don't we head back and get the paperwork started? Thanks for the lift.
- Don't need me to stick around? - I'd really like to go back now.
- Michelle and Dev are right behind us.
- OK.
Hey, be careful.
Hey, so maybe we could talk about a bit of a discount.
I'm a little bit concerned about some of the wear and tear on this vehicle.
- What are you doing here? - Trying to keep you from making a huge mistake.
- Stop interfering in my life.
- You mn n your death? That's what this is about, isn't it? - You don't know what you're talking about.
- Your son loves comic books.
That's why you created Nightfall for him--because you want him to remember you as a hero.
Here's your ambush, just like you wanted.
Hey, man.
How you doing? - Yeah, yeah.
- Texas.
There's no other way for me.
Dying like this does not make you a hero.
I'm dead no matter what.
Hey, look.
I just lost a close friend of mine, and my biggest regret is not being with her near the end.
You do not want Dustin to grow up with that kind of regret.
It's not too late, Tim.
You can go home, and you can be with your son.
Think about it.
I was hoping I'd get another crack at you.
I'm going to enjoy this.
Let's go.
Come on.
Move it.
Just deal, man.
Hey.
Hey, hey.
Hey, hey, wait a minute.
You're working with this clown? That's entrapment.
Yeah.
Why don't you tell that to the cops - when they bust you guys? - I just want my laptop back.
I wish we could help you with that, Albert, but I don't have it.
It's in an evidence locker.
This is not the plan that we agreed to.
Well, this is what's happening, so what happens next? You going to kill us like you killed Hawn? This whole mess was your doing.
If I go down, you go down harder.
The beatings, the dead woman-- you didn't ask for that.
It was just supposed to be a few robberies, - but it got out of hand.
- Enough! End this or I will.
What? You don't give me orders.
You work for me.
All I ever do is clean up your messes.
I've still got a trick up my sleeve.
- Do it.
- Ah! Ah! IIB! Drop your weapons! - Weapons down! - Let me see your hands! All right, all right.
Ballistics going to match this gun with the one used to kill Hawn? I'll take that as a yes.
- You OK? - Yeah.
The bullet just grazed your arm.
You're going to be fine.
You know we had a team-up.
- We had a what? - Thank you for the save.
Yeah, no problem.
And thanks for what you said earlier.
You were right.
Klein's going to be happy to be off the hook with Price.
Yeah, Jacoby's going down for everything.
- Excuse me.
- Yeah.
- Hey, you.
- Hey.
How'd it go? Well, I just had an in-depth interview with a superhero who helped bring down the major crime ring.
- So, pretty well.
- Oh.
Lucky.
Lucky.
You get everything you need? Absolutely.
He was very forthcoming and very sweet.
And had a lot of nice things to say about you.
About me? You sure? What'd he say? You'll have to wait for the article.
All right, I will.
Listen, you you've mentioned dinner.
- Is that still an option? - Yeah.
Great.
I'm buying.
And, again, thank you, Toby.
Thank you.
OK.
OK.
No problem.
- Captain Nightfall! Just a few questions! - I'm not going to be taking any questions, if that's OK.
But I, um It's way past your bedtime, mister.
- Can I just see this? - OK.
or fight crime to make a difference.
So that's why I've officially decided to retire from the hero game.
I want to spend more time with my son.
It's Dad! Oh, my god.
Tim? Dustin, son, if you're watching this right now, I love you, pal.
Now get to bed.
It's late.
Thank you.
So, Jacoby gave us everything.
He used his firm's resources to find suitable targets.
The plan was to sit on the stolen intel until he had a whole bunch of victims.
So he could drain their accounts all in one shot.
Yeah, I did the math.
It was close to 50 million.
Phew That's not a bad little retirement nest egg.
He swears he tried to pull the plug when things turned violent.
Hawn refused to listen.
And that was the night that Tara Simms was killed.
Yeah, after that, I guess Jacoby was in too deep.
I hate to admit it, but Nightfall did us a favour by trashing Jacoby's office.
I know.
That's why I'm not pursuing his arrest.
Well, that and his promise to hang up his costume for good.
OK.
Here you go.
- It's decaf.
Sorry.
- No, that's fine.
Julia's been taking my new diet restrictions pretty seriously.
Thank you.
So, you're home now.
- Must feel good.
- Yeah, yeah, it does.
I mean, it's just on a trial basis, but It was my idea, actually.
I thought it made sense for Tim to be closer to Dustin under the circumstances.
Right.
So, I guess, uh, you know.
Yeah.
No more secrets, right? Right.
I mean, that's how all these problems got started in the first place.
I was too embarrassed to admit that I started drinking again, and everything just kind of spiralled from there.
That's actually kind of why I'm here.
Um I've got a friend who's a nurse at St.
Luke's.
And she would love for you to come in for a few more tests.
Don't be stubborn.
Listen to him.
Yeah, she thinks that with a proper course of treatment maybe they can buy you a little more time-- as much as a year.
And every second counts.
Yeah, it sure does.
Hey, listen.
When we were at the warehouse how did you know I was gonna make a move? Trade secret.
He's a pretty good drawer.
You teach him that? Hey, buddy.
That is awesome.
Let me guess: is that Captain Nightfall? It's my dad.
