Will Trent (2023) s03e12 Episode Script

[FAITH] Previously on Will Trent
Has anyone died in here?
A hundred percent.
Yeah, it's a hospital.
There's, like, a hundred ghosts
in here waiting for you to kiss me.
- Great. I'm nervous now.
- You're right. Let's forget it.
- Let's forget it.
- Forget the whole thing.
[FAITH] So you make him your CI?
To go poking around, so he can
get killed by Raphael's guys?
- [WILL SIGHS]
- That was not your call to make, Will.
- We need EMS. Now!
- What happened?
I shot him.
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.
This is good news.
It was a clean shoot.
I killed a 14-year-old boy today.
There's no such
thing as a clean shoot.
[PANTING]
[GRUNTS]
Okay. Okay.
[ENGINE SPUTTERING]
Oh, no, no. Oh, no, no. Come on.
[PANTS] Come on.
[ENGINE STARTS]
We're gonna make it.
[TIRES SCREECH]
- Will, you have to be here.
- [CLOCK TICKING]
So let's make it worth your while.
[SIGHS]
Has the medication been helping?
I wouldn't know. I haven't taken it.
[SIGHS]
I wanna try an exercise with you.
Great.
An emotion wheel? Really?
So you're familiar?
If you did your homework, you'd
know that I grew up in the system.
Then you know that sometimes
we don't have the right words
to describe how we're feeling.
Let's try "I feel" statements.
[SIGHS]
Are you feeling angry?
[TICKING]
[TICKING SPEEDS UP]
[THERAPIST] Will?
I also told you in our first
session that I was dyslexic.
Do you pay attention?
Isn't that your job?
I'm sorry, um
but can we try?
I feel
I feel
like you're bad at your job.
I feel like this is
a huge waste of time.
I feel like no matter what I do in here,
it's not gonna bring Marco back to life.
And I feel
I feel like we're done here.

Oh ♪
Come on ♪
Oh, yeah ♪
Well, I tried to tell you so
Yes, I did ♪
But I guess you didn't know ♪
What are you doing here?
You still have 40 minutes left.
He said I'm fixed. He said
he's never seen anything like it.
He's even cleared me to start
driving myself to
and from my sessions.
So, let's go.
No.
Quan hasn't even gotten to
the chamois yet. Get back in there.
Therapy is not going to fix me.
Did he give you the feel wheel?
Yes. He did.
Dr. Martin still playing
the hits. [CHUCKLES]
[SIGHS] What the hell does that guy
know about what we have to deal with?
He doesn't need
to understand everything.
Just help you work through it
and move on.
Moving on is barbaric.
All right, I did something terrible.
The least I can do is
feel this way forever.
You can't live like that.
What are you talking about?
You know, you wanna help me?
Take me off desk duty.
Let me do my job.
No.
You're so mean to yourself, Will.
What if I was the one
who accidentally killed a child?
What if it was Polaski or Faith?
What would you say to them?
I think you'd support them
and be there for them.
Help them remember that
they're a good person who
who just made a mistake.
I need my work, Amanda.
Hey, Quan. You got
another one of these chairs?
Coming up.
Anything for you, Miss Amanda.
For the next hour, you and I
are gonna sit here in silence
and watch Quan buff these rims,
and we'll call it therapy.

[SONG ENDS]
[RECORDING ON PHONE] The victim
is female, Jane Doe.
Body discovered by a jogger
in Little Five Points at 5:00 a.m.
on December 4th, 2019.
Found hanging upside down.
She had a laceration
from her neck to her pelvis
[MARION] Little easy listening
on a Monday?
Blood spatter indicates victims'
vital organs were removed.
- Search for organs is still ongoing.
- Eduardo, off. Off.
[RECORDING STOPS]
Um, sorry. Listening to cases
that were left open.
Trying to stay industrious
while on desk duty.
I've reviewed 47 cases and, uh,
I've closed two.
- Look at you.
- Hmm.
Came for proof of life.
Mmm. Is there a form I need to sign?
Oh, yes, please.
And if you could just check the box
that says that you
are not ghosting me.
- I would never.
- Cool.
So, how about
we go see a movie tonight?
I can't.
That's it? You just can't?
Because you actually can.
You actually totally can.
Let me make you feel better,
the way that you did for me.
But is is it not a two-way street?
It's just not the same.
Okay. I'll, um
I'll let you get back to it then.
Irreconcilable differences.
Communication issues.
Look, I have learned all I possibly
can from the great Will Trent.
What are you not telling me?
Nothing. [SIGHS]
It's time. I want a new partner.
I said no.
And I'm done talking about it.
And don't think I won't find out
what's really going
on, because I will.
So, what'd she say?
We're stuck together.
[DOORS SLAM]
[ANGIE] Wow, you folks are
right on the Atlanta city line.
[CHUCKLING] Oh, yeah.
I always tell Buck, "Now, don't
you cross that line, mister."
- [ANGIE CHUCKLES]
- That makes us chuckle.
Honey, they don't care
about that right now.
I'm sorry. I'm just upset.
I've never seen a dead body before,
and now I've got two of 'em
right there in our front yard.
Yeah.
You think you recognize
either one of 'em?
Oh, gosh, no.
Nah, never seen 'em.
You hear any gunshots?
No, ma'am. We were
just watching our programs.
- And we heard a little gentle
- Bonk.
- A gentle bonk?
- That's right.
It was a hushed [BLUSTERS]
They couldn't have been going
more than ten miles an hour.
And there's no license plates either.
- That's weird, right?
- That is weird. Yeah.
Okay, we can take it from here.
Thank you so much for your time.
Oh, thank you.
Oh, VIN's scratched off.
Think it's stolen?
Could be.
Looks like the driver has a
gunshot wound to her upper back.
- Yeah.
- Look at all this glass.
- It's all in the bed.
- And it's on their laps.
[ANGIE] Yeah, makes me think
they were hit,
and then they just kept driving
till she bled out.
Could've been a while.
Well, that would explain
the gentle bonk.
The hushed "hmph"?
Why didn't they stop for help?
I don't know.
We'll pull traffic cam footage.
See if we can figure out
where they were coming from,
where they were shot at.
Yeah. We have any idea who they are?
- No idea.
- They didn't have ID?
I don't know. I haven't gone
in the truck yet.
This truck? You haven't been
in this truck yet?
We were told not to lay a finger
on anything till you guys get here.
How do you know they're dead?
They look really dead.
I got no pulse.
Mine's still warm.
No, no, she's still alive. Get
an ambulance, she's still alive!
[RECORDING THROUGH PHONE]
The victim is a 52-year-old man,
found dismembered.
His limbs were located
after a brief search.
Marinara sauce was found
on the victim's left hand.
- The murder weapon was
- You good, homey?
- an 11-inch bowie knife dull
- Just fine.
- which would explain the several
- Yeah, you seem fine.
attempts at severing various limbs.
It appears the suspect attempted
to carve crude markings into flesh
Can I make a suggestion?
Can we turn off all this
graphic, bloody, murder talk?
on the torso,
but these are attributed
- to animals in the area.
- Eduardo, off.
We've been through
some pretty bad stuff.
We always end up back on our feet.
It's gonna get better.
Back pain?
- [BOTH] No.
- Great.
Well, that's about
all the small talk I got.
[FAITH] Door's open.
Hi.
Hey, so we got a case
we could use your help with.
Here's what we got, a truck with
two women literally
on the city limits.
One's dead, gunshot wound.
The other one's in a coma.
And we are trying
to figure out what caused it.
We don't know how
they know each other.
We don't know where
they were coming from.
But the last thing we need is
Douglas County officers
trying to handle this.
And so, how about you guys
swoop in there and take the wheel?
Or you could just say
that you're taking the wheel,
- and we'll work the case in peace.
- Let Jesus takes the wheel.
Somebody, please. Just interrupt
Me. Me.
He's on desk duty. I will take it.
Great. So, uh, we got finger
prints off the surviving passenger.
Her name's Jade Meritson.
She's a former kindergarten
teacher from Blue Ridge.
And the driver's name
was Aster Danforth.
We actually ID'd her from
her knee replacement plate.
We can't find any connection
between these women.
Except that they were in a pickup
truck that crashed into a tree.
[BOTH] It was a gentle bonk.
[ANGIE] We got nothing
from traffic cams,
so we have no idea
where this crime originated.
Wherever it was, they weren't
treating their meat.
- What does that even mean?
- Sorry, it's
Pete found a tapeworm
during Aster's autopsy.
He thinks it came from untreated pork.
Did you say tapeworm?
Really? This is
where you're chiming in?
Tapeworm. Tapeworm.
Tapeworm. Tape Tapeworm. Tape
And it's gone.
I think he'll be okay.
Anyway, I'm gonna head to the hospital.
I'm gonna check on Jade.
Her sister just got in town.
Good idea. Ormewood,
let's go see if we
can get more
information on that truck.
We were always really close, but then,
I don't know. Something changed.
Something happened?
Jade was doing IVF.
She was, um, trying
to have a baby on her own.
Mm-hmm?
And she had gone through
a couple of miscarriages.
- Um, one of 'em at seven months.
- Oh
[SOBBING] And I really tried
to be there for her.
- When's the last time you saw her?
- Maybe a year ago.
- It was just before the letter.
- The letter?
[SCOFFS] Yeah, she sent me a letter.
Like, in the mail?
Yeah. Very formal and cold.
- What did it say?
- Hold on. I took a picture of it.
"Sydney, I have come
to the difficult decision
that I need to step back
from this relationship.
The energy between us
has turned toxic.
I need to protect my peace
and prioritize growth moving forward."
Wow. That hurts.
It killed me.
What happened to her?
- Hey. Sorry I'm late.
- Hey.
- Aw! You got fries. I love you.
- Yeah.
- I don't mean that. I mean, I'm, uh
- [CHUCKLES]
Thank you for ordering
french fries. I love fries.
We have so much in common.
- We do, actually.
- Mm-hmm?
- We both love french fries.
- Right.
We both have jobs. We both
like spending time together.
Why haven't we had sex yet?
[CLEARS THROAT] Wow.
- Okay, that
- Well
Yeah. So
- Here's the thing, I really want to.
- Oh, that's good.
Yeah, very much so.
But I have been thinking
a lot about it,
and I'm trying a new thing.
So, it doesn't feel like it, probably,
but it is a huge compliment.
Okay. So, no pressure.
But whenever you decide,
you know, it's time,
- I consent.
- Mm-hmm. No kidding.
Hey. What are we consenting to?
- Sex.
- [CLEARS THROAT]
- Okay.
- [ANGIE] Okay.
Good news.
We got the VIN number off the truck.
Bad news is,
owner's been dead for months.
So, truck's a dead end.
How's our not-dead girl?
Still unconscious.
Fighting severe infection.
High fever, low blood pressure.
We still can't figure out where
the infection's coming from yet,
- but there is one weird thing
- Hey, Mitchell.
Hey. So I spoke
with Aster's ex-husband,
and I'm somehow even more confused.
- What'd he say?
- Wait, stop.
Were you two sitting on the
same side of the booth? Alone?
No one else was coming?
- Yeah.
- That's disgusting.
Okay, wait. So there was no one
on this side? Like at all?
Show me both your hands.
- [LAUGHS]
- Nothing's happening.
Believe me.
But I'm told it's a compliment.
- It is.
- Okay, maybe we should go.
No. Just shut up and tell me
about Aster's ex-husband.
- What'd he say?
- [SIGHS] Yeah, it was sad.
Their son died in a car accident,
and the marriage didn't survive.
- [MICHAEL EXHALES HEAVILY]
- Aster pretty much cut him off.
She wrote him this weird
letter, saying that he was toxic
and she didn't want anything
to do with him.
Okay.
Jade sent her sister a letter,
saying that she was toxic
after a string of miscarriages.
So both women had
their own versions of trauma
- and cut everybody off?
- [ANGIE] Mm-hmm.
Pattern. But it still doesn't tell
us how they know each other.
- Right.
- [WILL] Hmm.
I looked into the worms.
You said your dead victim had worms.
Aster had a tapeworm, yeah.
- Jade Meritson has a worm.
- Oh, why didn't you say so?
Well, I tried to, but then a flash mob
came in and started eating our fries.
Taenia solium?
- Yeah, it's the same worm.
- What's your worm?
It's an open case from last
year, suspicious drowning.
Um, the deceased had
the same tapeworm.
So, tapeworm math: if
everybody has the same tapeworm,
does that mean that they got it
from the same place?
It's possible.
I mean, if a pig had a tapeworm
and everyone ate
the same infected pork
Or if they all ate crops
planted in infected night soil
What's night soil?
- [BOTH] Human manure.
- [GROANS]
Fascinating thing is they can grow
up to 30 feet inside human intestines.
They have six rows of teeth.
They can live inside you
for years without any symptoms.
- They absorb food through their skin.
- Mm-hmm.
Yeah? What are the teeth for?
It's for latching on to the intestines.
They're actually incredibly
resilient creatures.
I, uh I don't think we've met.
- Oh.
- Oh.
He's my We met when, uh
Angie hit him with her car.
No, I didn't hit him with my car.
- He's a doctor.
- [ANGIE] Oh, God.
They're dating.
Oh.
Oh. Um, well, that's
that's healthy.
Will, Seth.
Seth, Will.
Oh, you're Will. Nice to meet you.
Yeah. Um, hi.
All right, let's get back to
trying to figure out the connection
between Aster and Jade,
and what's your worm guy?
- Um, Dermot Park.
- Wait.
Your worm guy is my truck guy.
Dermot Park was the owner
of the gold truck.
Okay, these people are
definitely connected.
Let's look into Dermot.
- All right.
- Nope.
Hey.
All right.
You wanna sit?
[MARION LAUGHING] True. Yes. [SIGHS]
I'm just so happy you called.
Me too.
- Yeah?
- Mmm.
And that was fun, right?
The batting cages.
Oh, my God.
- I'm good.
- You are good.
- I'm good.
- That was a really, really good idea.
- I didn't even know I needed that.
- [LAUGHS]
Oh, I just I wonder
what Marco's doing right now.
What?
Marco.
You know, we should call him.
Marion
[TICKING]
Marco's dead. Why would you
- [TICKING CONTINUES]
- You hear that?
Hear what?
It's like a clicking sound.
Good news.
It's a clean shoot. A good shoot.
- [GASPS]
- [TICKING STOPS]
[CHUCKLES LIGHTLY]
- [MARCO] It hurts.
- [WILL PANTING] No.
No.
No.
No.
- [BETTY BARKING]
- No!
[GASPS]
[RECORDING] to the abdomen
and defensive wounds on her hands.
- A portion of the left ear was severed.
- [BETTY WHIMPERS]
You got this.
Okay?
[WHIMPERING CONTINUES]
[BANGS]
[SNIFFLES, GASPS, SOBS]
- Yeah, no sleep for me, girl.
- [BETTY WHIMPERS]
Jade. Aster. Dermot.
What's the common denominator?
Eduardo, compare the bank
statements of the three victims.
1028 common charges in categories
of groceries, entertainment, travel.
Twelve common charges
to Olas Collective.
Search Olas Collective.
[PROMO NARRATOR] A single drop
can become a wave of change.
[WAVES CRASHING]
- [CLICKS MOUSE
-Reclaim your life and purpose.
Hey. Saw you called.
Thought I'd pop in.
Yeah, would you mind closing the door?
Sure.
- What's going on?
- We have a problem with Will's CI.
I think we need to deactivate them.
That person is facing
felony drug charges.
It's either they satisfy the
deal or they face prosecution.
I don't want them to satisfy
the deal or face prosecution.
This person is unstable
and unfit for the job.
How do you know them? I
don't even know the CI's identity.
I can't tell you that.
Is this what you
and Will were arguing about?
- We weren't.
- Hmm. Okay.
Look, Will is barely speaking to me,
and now you come to me with this,
and you both are lying.
So, yeah, this is feeling
pretty sketchy.
Will and I are
on the same page about this.
Then why isn't he here?
We're partners. He trusts me.
And I'm the one throwing
the flag on this play.
Technically, you're asking me
to break the law.
Until the CI can provide information
that leads us to a major arrest,
or brings in a solid lead,
there is nothing I can do.
It's either that, or they
face prosecution for a felony.
Are we done here?
I guess we are.
Yeah, me and Dermot were friends.
[SCOFFS] Until his girlfriend
broke up with him, and he got weird.
Weird like what?
Well, he was in a dark place.
But then he started going
to these classes,
and, I don't know, he got better.
What kind of classes?
Self-help. Enlightenment. Woo-woo stuff.
When was the last time
you and Dermot spoke?
I didn't really hear from him for a
while. Like, a long time. [SIGHS]
[CHUCKLES]
But then he sent me a letter
that was basically him saying
he wants nothing to do with me.
I was like,
"You do you, bro. Whatever.
Sorry I didn't go
to your weird cult class."
Do you happen to remember
the name of the organization?
[SIGHS]
No idea.
My brain is like Swiss
cheese these days.
I'm so sorry. I have no idea why.
Focus.
What else can you tell us
about Dermot?
[WHISPERING] About a year later,
I get a call from an unknown number.
It was Dermot.
There was something
different about him.
- [WHISPERING] Different how?
- Paranoid.
Kept saying the phone was bugged,
and wanted to meet in person.
- Did you meet him?
- [NORMAL VOICE] No.
He died. Drowned.
He was drunk, apparently.
Are you saying you think this
organization is behind his death?
Either they did it,
or they turned him into the
kind of guy who would get drunk,
go lake swimming
in the middle of winter.
Whatever it was, it ruined his life.
Hi. What's your name?
Um, Bill. Bill Morales.
- Do you want May I?
- Oh. Sure.
Okay.
Okay.
It's nice to meet you, Bill.
- Oh. Pleasure's
- Hmm.
Nice to meet you too, um
- Rain. [CHUCKLES]
- Rain.
Here, uh
So glad you're here.
Me too, yeah.
It was a Monday.
I was driving home from work
and saw a fire truck pulling
into my neighborhood.
And I remember thinking,
"I wonder where they're going?
I wonder what happened?"
And when I get home,
I see the fire truck parked
in my driveway.
[SOBBING] They had, um,
someone on a stretcher.
It was my boy.
I had gun in a drawer.
And I was supposed
to install the gun safe, but
I never got around to it.
[SIGHS]
I don't wanna hear
that it's not my fault,
that I'm a good person.
I don't wanna hear any of that. All
All I wanna hear
is that I am the worst person
in the world.
You are the worst person in the world.
[QUINCY] Whew.
Sometimes, you just need to be
where you are, and that's okay.
[BREATHING DEEPLY]
We have an intensive retreat,
where we work on
these things together.
Do you wanna join us, Quincy?
It's an invitation.
You don't have to say yes.
Yes.
- Yes.
- [QUINCY] Yes. Yes.
Did you feel that?
That That
It's a transformative energy.
It's like music. Something
enters the air and changes it.
Ooh!
You know, we are like an
orchestra tuning to each other.
And it's not until we are
in harmony with each other
that we can get to a place
where we can truly experience
inner harmony. See?
Can't change the past, right?
Past is past.
But accepting
what we've been resisting
is embracing our power.
Your trauma doesn't define you.
You
define your trauma.
I spoke to Marion. I'm gonna
take over handling Jeremy.
He's no longer your problem.
Faith. I've known Rafael
for half of my life.
- Let me help you fix this.
- You've done enough.
[SIGHS]
Is today the day I find out
why you two are fighting?
Well, tomorrow then.
In the meantime, let's solve a murder.
All right. So, we're ready
to say it, right?
Cult.
Well, it has a name. Olas Collective.
I did some digging. Jade Meritson,
Aster Danforth, and Dermot Park,
all donated money to this nonprofit.
Half a million combined.
It markets itself
as a wellness organization,
selling self-help courses designed to
promote personal growth and healing.
How do you know all about this?
Desk duty. I got nothing but time.
So, I checked property records.
Olas Collective owns
several pieces of land.
One of them is only about 40
miles from the scene of the crime.
Could be where Jade and Aster
were coming from.
So, they tried to
escape and were shot.
Dermot got out, and
they came after him.
Oh, take it easy.
There's no proof of that.
Here's the problem,
cults aren't illegal.
The First Amendment protects
all beliefs, no matter how extreme.
Well, so let's go out there
on the DL and check it out.
- Can do.
- [FAITH] All righty.
We'll call you if we find
anything interesting.
[SATNAV APP] You've arrived
at your destination.
Well, this is not it.
The lady says we're here.
[ANGIE] What are these?
An art installation?
They're beehives. Bees are in them.
- I hate bees.
- I didn't know you had a bee thing.
It's not a thing.
Just no need to provoke.
Well, someone's gotta
be taking care of 'em, right?
This land belongs to Olas.
It's 110 acres.
It's possible that there's
a compound here somewhere.
- [GUNSHOTS]
- Shots fired! Find cover!
- [BEES BUZZING]
- Oh, God.
- The bees are getting bothered.
- It's bees or bullets, Mitchell.
Where is it coming from?
They're in woodline. 12 o'clock.
Cover me while I move.
- Set!
- Moving!
[LEAVES RUSTLE]
APD! Stop right there!
Stay down! Show me your hands!
Now turn over. Slowly.
[SNIFFS]
[ANGIE] She's 16. She's just a kid.
Yeah. I don't think
she's ever had a Cheeto before.
So, like, obviously,
whoever comes to get her,
is from Olas Collective.
[MICHAEL] What kind
of a maniac raises a kid
to know more about guns than Cheetos?
Ballistics just came back.
All right. The rifle baby sniper used
to shoot at us in the field is
not the one that killed Aster?
[ELEVATOR BELL DINGS]
Oh, this must be the guardian.
[ANGIE] Wow.
She's a little older
to have a newborn.
Could be her grandchild?
Child, grandchild. That baby's a prop.
I hate this woman already.
Let me handle this.
Ormewood, be my wingman.
[AMANDA] You are the guardian
of Finn Lambert?
Finn is a child in my care.
Her parents were unfit
to raise her, so I took her in.
You know, I have a 16-year-old.
I wouldn't let him use
a gun unsupervised.
We could've killed her.
You realize that, right?
Well, thank God you didn't.
I'm surprised more
innocent people don't get shot
if your department makes a
regular practice of trespassing
- on private property
- Well, perhaps my people would've taken
a more direct approach had
information on your group
not been so difficult to come by.
- Amanda, I don't think that
- It's Deputy Director Wagner.
- [BABY CRYING]
- Okay. All right.
Excuse me.
Hey. Here you go.
Perhaps you'd like some privacy?
No, it's all right. I'll just
Okay, sweetie.
All right. Deputy Director Wagner,
I run an intentional living community.
A sanctuary space
for vulnerable individuals,
including several
actively escaping abuse.
With that, comes constant threats.
They must be constant if you feel
the need to use
children as protection.
I feel the need to give children a
means of protecting themselves.
You know, there's something
I've been struggling with.
Maybe you can offer some
insight while I've got you here.
Of course.
Was she a threat
or a vulnerable person?
I don't know her.
- Really?
- Yeah.
Because we've connected her to
your intentional living community.
[SIGHS]
Any further questions can
be directed to my lawyer.
It was a pleasure to meet you,
Ms. Woods.
We'll be sure to show our
badges the next time we meet.
Listen to this. Rain Woods is not
only the legal
guardian of baby sniper,
but also 13 other minors
who all live with her.
Whoa, that is a lot of children
for one woman to take care of.
Geez.
- Hey.
- [WHISPERING] Your boo's here.
- [KNOCKS]
- Hello. Hey.
Hi. What are you doing here?
Jade is heading into surgery now.
We found the source of her infection.
It's retained placental tissue.
So, she gave birth?
- When? Can you tell?
- I'd estimate a couple months ago.
Wherever it was, she did not
have proper medical care.
Oh, my God. You don't think
That woman walked in here and back out
with a stolen baby strapped to her?
Not only that,
she was breastfeeding it.
That's a power move
like I've never seen.
I don't even think
that baby was hungry.
Can you breastfeed if you
haven't just recently given birth?
Yes. It's possible
to induce lactation.
Or you could continue
breastfeeding indefinitely.
We don't know for sure
whose baby this is,
and we don't have enough
for a warrant.
We need to get inside this
thing, but we need to do it right.
I don't want another Waco
on our hands.
Okay, unless there are any
further questions about lactation,
- Angie, I will see you later. Yeah?
- Okay. Yeah.
- Bye. Mm-hmm.
- Thank you.
I can get inside.
Excuse me?
I went to an Olas Collective seminar.
You're on desk duty.
- I needed to see it for myself.
- As Will Trent?
- Bill Morales.
- [GROANS] I don't like this.
- What was the seminar like?
- It was Rain speaking to a room
of broken people looking for answers.
But that's all it was.
Now, if we wanna find that baby
and tie these people
to Aster's murder,
we need more information.
The only way to find out
what's really going on in there
is to get beneath the surface.
I hate where this is going.
So, what's the plan, Bill?
Well, the classes are just
the tip of the iceberg.
So if you're really serious,
they offer retreats.
You wanna go somewhere
with these people?
I'm sorry, that is a terrible idea.
I made a connection with Rain.
I can get in. I know I can.
Will, you've experienced a trauma.
You are the precisely
the kind of person to target.
Which is exactly why I am the
only one who can get in there.
Am I the only one who can see this?
Can you have a little faith in me?
I think I can manage
not drinking the Kool-Aid.
Amanda, I hate this so much.
- Just say no.
- We have two dead bodies,
a woman in the hospital, and a
possible kidnapping of an infant.
We need to know what the hell's
going on in there.
And right now, I'm our only shot.
If I let you go in there,
I'll have conditions.
Are you serious?
Really?
I'll get an invite
to the retreat tomorrow.
You're going undercover?
How long will you be gone for?
I don't know.
[STAMMERS] I find it hard to believe
that there's no one else that can go.
I mean, out of the whole GBI,
they can't send anyone else?
I'll be all right.
I've done this before.
- Marion
- No.
There's something that I wanna say.
I love you, Will.
I have not been able
to show up for you
the way you deserve.
I'm sorry.
I am going to take
the burden off of you.
Let's take a break.
And I'm just gonna go live my life.
And I'll miss you
so much.
And I'll think of you.
And I'll worry about you.
But maybe it's just not our time.
Maybe too many bad things
happened to us too fast.
You're a good person, Will Trent.
Everything that happened, you know
you know that's not your fault, right?
I don't wanna hear
that I'm a good person.
I don't wanna hear
that it's not my fault.
I just wanna be where I am.
Well, you know where to find me.
["THE NEVER RINGING PHONE" PLAYING]
I can't make it ♪
Oh, with another ringing phone ♪
This is a solar-powered
satellite phone.
You are to check in within the
first 48 hours, no exceptions.
We need to establish a secure location
where we can deliver anything
you might need once you're inside.
We can use a drone for that.
I'll scout a spot for the drop.
These people are dangerous, Will.
They've a lot to hide,
and they've already shown us
they'll do anything to protect it.
And what's your cover story?
I killed a kid.
Look.
You and I have both allowed
ourselves to be defined by our jobs.
And I know that for you,
for better or for worse,
the only way
you're gonna get past this
is through your work.
Wilbur Trent,
I have never been as worried
about you as I am right now.
Don't fall through the cracks
in that cover story.
Please, take care of yourself.

[TV PRESENTER] That's right, the
focus of this week's Hometown Hero
is a seventh grader
Hey.
Oh, hey.
- Are you okay?
- Yes, I'm fine.
Just, um
Just worried about a friend.
- Sunny.
- Yeah.
I'm glad you're here.
Me too.
Hey.
- Hi.
- Uh, what are you doing?
I was in the neighborhood.
- It's a good neighborhood.
- Yeah.
- What are you doing?
- Well, I was reading.
New England Journal of Medicine.
This article on transcatheter
aortic-valve implant.
I'm kidding.
I was watching basketball.
Okay.
You okay?
It's just been a weird day.
I went to a meeting.
Uh, it didn't really help.
But then I remembered there's
this really cute doctor,
and he wants to have sex with me.
- Yeah. Yeah.
- Yeah.
[WILL] I've been having a hard time.
Harder than I care to admit.
It was like any other night,
but it was raining.
And, uh, I was distracted.
I was on the phone.
I was texting, actually,
but of course,
I didn't tell the police that.
I was turning left, and
I had the green light.
But there was a kid on a bike.
He wasn't supposed to be there,
just like I wasn't supposed
to hit him.
But I should've looked.
I wasn't trying to hurt anyone, but
it doesn't matter what I intended.
I took an innocent life.
I can't take that back.
I can't bring him back.
And I can't make it right.
[SOBS]
I couldn't save him.
And now I
I don't know where else to go.
It's an unplugged intensive.
Welcome.
Thank you.
Want help with that?
Come again?
Your blindfold.
Oh, um, sure.
It's all a part of the experience.
Just wait.
Great.
