Oh, I'm sorry.
I didn't know that was a problem.
I can make it stop.

W-we'll move past that.
Uh, next question who gives better gifts? Show us what you've won, McNally.
Okay.
I will.
I'm I'm just gonna hold on.
All right, pausing the game.
And Sammy is jilted on the hot seat.
How's that sit with you, pal? It's fine.
Give me a chance to, uh To ask you a favor.
Uh, I would love to, but I cannot be your last fling.
No.
Now, as you all know, I'm getting married.
Oliver Aww! Will you be my best man? Will you have me? I think that I sealed the deal with the whole, uh, you know, "how well do you know your partner?" Quiz.
Uh, totally, brother.
It would be my pleasure.
You don't have to ask.
I love you.
Anytime.
Love you, too, buddy.
I'm gonna get this guy a drink.
Traci? I need to talk to you for a second.
Uh Give me a second.
Okay.
It's okay.
Hey.
Hey.
Hey.
Hey.
Hey, what's up? You're giving me stress face.
I-I don't know where my engagement ring is.
D-d-did you check the bathroom? Yes.
- Pockets? - Yes.
- Purse? - I don't have a purse.
Well, w-when's the last time you saw it? I don't know.
Uh, Sam's place? My place? Uh, the mall? Well, good you've narrowed it down.
I cannot tell him that I lost the ring.
Okay, okay.
Y uh, you are Having an allergic reaction.
- Yes, I am.
- Yeah? And also, like, I can't stay at his place tonight because I'm Exfo exfoliating.
Sure.
Sure.
So so, then, um, we okay, so after your shift tomorrow, we scour your place, his place.
We break into that truck if we have to.
There's nothing in this world that isn't somewhere, right? Yeah.
You mind? Thank you.
- Glad I caught you.
- Mm.
Commissioner, good morning.
Is there something I can help you with, sir? Yes.
My stepson, Duncan, says that there's some new blood at 15 division someone called Ward.
Yes Officer Juliet Ward.
But she's not just an officer, is she? See, I checked.
She's Internal Affairs.
- She is.
- Yes.
I assigned her.
Uh, it's hot in here.
Do you mind if we Just talk outside? Did I miss an e-mail, Williams? Well, there was an explosion in their evidence room, and a lot of cases were blown that day, so it made sense to put someone in there, make sure none of our people allowed that to happen.
I think you're missing the point.
Why wasn't I informed? Well, Commissioner You hired me to take the pressure off you.
I can't help you if I'm pestering you about every single decision.
Delegate, right? That's what I'm here for.
I figured that's what it was.
Mm-hmm.
'Cause I am an optimist.
I need to see a report.
Absolutely.
Just give me a week or two, put it together.
Anything you have.
End of day is fine.
Yes, sir.
So, he's onto Juliet.
You think he's onto you? I don't know.
But he wants a report at the end of today.
Okay.
Is that a problem? Yeah.
Because, according to Ward, the only officer who could have put a bomb in the evidence room Is Oliver.
You got to fix this, Sammy.
"Most likely to pick the restaurant.
" You.
- Uh, Crazy Grill, tonight, 8:00, by the way.
- Good.
"Most likely to reach for their wallet.
" You.
"Most likely to actually pay.
" Me.
Who's winning? He's playing by himself, sir.
Of course he is.
Classic Peck.
- "Chuh-loa pree-chay," my oneshoed wonder.
- Hey.
What, uh, what's going on there? Is that a bunion? Ew.
No.
It's just it's it's it's a blister.
I'll I'll put my shoe on.
Do you ever hang out at Joe's Fish Tank? Oh, yeah, not since I was 13.
That's probably the last time I wore a scrunchie.
Uh, Dov, uh, have you been to Joe's Fish Tank lately? Oh, man, I love that place.
They got an indoor zipline over a sea of plastic balls.
That is true.
Yes, the zipline.
Also, they have just phat acoustics.
Okay? I am playing, um, I'm playing drums in Izzy's band there tonight.
- Yes! - Awesome.
Here's hoping no overtime.
Okay, you're both on the list.
Like, you're each other's plus-one.
So I need your energy there.
Funny.
Hey, handsome.
Hey.
What's wrong? What I told you about Juliet Ward it's true.
She's I.
A.
How many times am I right? I mean, is anybody even keeping count anymore? Listen to me.
Ted McDonald said Commissioner Santana was corrupt.
He said he had evidence against him.
Mm-hmm.
Okay? Then Ted McDonald dies, and his evidence blows up.
Which is why Juliet's here.
Because if Santana was behind the bomb, then someone in 15 helped him.
We've been through this.
Santana has figured out why Juliet is here, and he wants Noelle's report by the end of the day, 6:00.
Well, does she even have a name? Oliver Shaw.
Come on.
Sam, that is ridiculous.
Yeah, obviously, it's ridic it doesn't matter what we think, okay? Oliver's key card was used in the evidence room the day of the bombing.
So? Anybody could have used his key card.
Then t-there's his promotion, right? Beat cop to Staff Sergeant that's a big one.
He didn't even want that promotion.
Andy, I'm just looking at this how I.
A.
is gonna look at it, okay? If I were them, I would have questions.
If Santana is dirty And he can pin it all on Oliver, he will.
Well, what are we supposed to do? I don't know.
We I we find out who helped Santana, and we clear Oliver.
What by 6:00 tonight? Dov Dov was working the Intelligence Unit before Jarvis shut them down.
I mean, he's got to know something.
And I would trust him with my life.
Okay, go.
I'll check the evidence-room records.
Tonight? Yes, by 6:00, otherwise, Santana could sewer Oliver.
So, what should I know? We found out where the bomb came from, - but it didn't go anywhere.
- Where did it come from? Some explosives dealer named Chris Klem.
Well, where's he at? On a missing-persons list in Kitchener.
Klem's a widower and a single father.
Both he and his 15-year-old daughter, Ava, are missing.
Hmm.
Did you follow up on that? I tried, but Jarvis shut us down about a month ago.
Up until that point, there'd been no activity on his credit cards or bank accounts.
I mean, I could check again today.
Yeah.
Do that.
Okay, Sam and I are gonna go to Kitchener.
We'll talk to the local police.
Dov, do not tell anybody about this.
Oliver doesn't know.
All right, guys, listen up.
Focus.
Listen.
We have a kid who's disappeared from his house over in Westerland Court.
His name is Evan Malone.
He is 9 years old.
This is going to be the focus of our day, okay? We have officers on the scene.
They're gonna be bringing people from the neighborhood back here for questioning.
Hopefully, some of those folks are gonna be witnesses that may have seen Evan this morning.
Yes? How long has he been missing? He's been gone for two hours.
We talking AMBER Alert? We don't know what we're talking about.
Moore, what do we need for an AMBER Alert? Evidence of child abduction.
So, uh, the child must be under 18, and we got to believe that they're under threat of bodily harm or death.
So, we would need a description of the suspect or at least a vehicle.
An AMBER Alert lets the world know that a child is missing.
A missing-persons report gets put into a file.
Go and find me what Moore said.
Any extra information we get will be forwarded on to you.
Make this fast, folks.
They've been missing for three months.
Wonder what state the house is in.
Uh, well, Kitchener P.
D.
said they left it the way they found it.
I mean, nobody can touch it unless they have formal death certificates, so Any relatives? Uh, no close ones.
Both sets of parents are deceased.
There's one aunt in Milwaukee, but she hasn't heard from him in years.
Missing persons low priority unless somebody's making noise.
Well, let's make some noise.
It's right here.
The house certainly looks like you'd expect it to.
Well I've noticed, uh You haven't been wearing your ring.
Oh, yeah.
Well, I-I kind of developed, uh, an allergic reaction.
Oh.
Um, but there's actually a spray that I can get that will make it she's here.
Hi.
- Hi, there.
McNally? - Yes.
Swarek, hi.
Detective Norman.
Hey, thanks for coming to meet us on such short notice.
We've, uh, we've seen the file, but maybe you could fill us in from your end? Yeah, for sure.
Uh, the neighbors found the dog locked outside no food, no water so they called us.
School hadn't seen Ava for a couple of days, so we started looking for her.
Where's the dog now? Oh, the neighbor took it.
I would have took it myself, except I already got a dog.
It's weird, right? They disappeared into thin air.
If I were the religious type, I'd swear they were raptured.
Did you speak with anyone, uh, that mentioned maybe he was taking a trip? Not that I heard.
There was nothing unusual with this guy.
He was normal, well-liked.
His mortgage was paid off.
He wasn't even in debt.
Detective, have you and the local police really tried to find this family? W-what's been your follow-up? You know, we looked for them.
They're gone.
Who knows? Maybe they didn't like the climate.
You didn't think it was odd they left their passports behind? Sometimes people just up and leave.
You know, they join a cult, they develop a mental illness, they get Alzheimer's and, you know, wander into the oblivion.
Okay, well, Chris Klem is 39 years old.
I highly doubt that he developed Alzheimer's.
But I guess it is plausible that they were abducted by aliens.
Hey, don't think we didn't bandy that one around the precinct.
So, uh You guys got everything you need? Are you in a hurry? Oh, you're not in a hurry? Down in the big city? You know what? I'll just I'll wait outside.
What are you thinking? What are we looking for? Forensics went over this place, right? No sign of a struggle.
You think they were paid to disappear? New names, new I.
D.
s, disappeared into Chilean Patagonia.
Okay, let's say they had a choice.
Right? They would probably take some stuff with them.
What kind of stuff? Like sentimental things, things that matter to them that maybe they thought we would never notice.
Small stuff.
It wouldn't hurt to look, you know, kind of see if they were forced to leave or not.
All right.
I'll start upstairs.
It's a good idea.
Evan was wearing a red hoodie and pajama pants.
He was reading one of his fantasy books outside in the yard.
He's quiet.
He doesn't have a lot of friends.
Where's Evan's father? I called.
I haven't heard back.
We're in the middle of a divorce.
Why isn't there an AMBER Alert yet? I promise you we're working on that.
Okay.
But whoever took Evan could be crossing the border right now.
And an AMBER Alert is not gonna help us.
Mrs.
Malone, we wouldn't know what model or make of car to stop.
Before we proceed, we need to know what we're looking for.
S-so that's what you're doing.
That's exactly what we're doing.
Okay? Everyone here is looking for your son.
- Okay.
- Okay.
Staff.
You'll have to excuse me.
Yeah? Okay, so, Nick spoke to a neighbor named Gary Fulham.
He was gardening.
He saw the boy talking to that guy Rhys Gray.
He then went for a drive-through breakfast sandwich.
When he came back, they were both gone.
- Okay, run those names.
- Already on it.
- Chloe's checking the names of everyone who walks in here.
- Okay.
Thanks.
How long have you lived on Westerland Court? So, did you see the boy this morning? Yeah.
Evan came over to watch me from next door.
I'd just rescued this amazing shabby-chic headboard, and I was repainting it.
High-gloss orange? You can never go wrong with high-gloss orange.
What time did you talk to Evan? Around, uh, 8:00 A.
M.
Um he was yakking away to himself, and I asked him who he was talking to, and he looked at me like I was crazy.
And I was like, "uh, you're the one who's talking to yourself.
" Oh.
That's not funny 'cause he's missing.
How long was Evan with you? Just a few minutes.
I went in to get more coffee, and when I came back, he was gone, so I figured he'd gone home.
I hope he's okay.
I mean, he's a sweet kid.
Officer Peck? What's up? Hi.
Can I have a word, please? Excuse me.
Uh, so, your guy's in the system.
Rhys Gray is a registered sex offender.
All right, Rhys, this is Detective Nash.
She's just gonna ask you a few questions.
Okay, but I volunteered to come in and talk to you, so why am I now talking to a detective? Mr.
Gray, it's come to our attention that you are a registered No.
No, I'm not.
I'm I'm not a sex offender.
But our system identified a Rhys Gray of 102 Westerland Court as a sex offender.
That's not you? It was 20 years ago.
The cops caught me in a car with a guy who said he was 18.
He was actually 17.
But I was 25, so they charged me with sexual abuse of a minor.
And now you have a record.
For the rest of my life.
And, you know, if it had been straight sex, I wouldn't even have been charged.
Age of consent for gay sex, at the time, was 18, but f-for straight sex, it was 16.
I-it was discrimination.
Do we have your permission to search your house? I had nothing to do with this.
What if I say no? Then we'll take the time to get a warrant, but this is a missing child, Mr.
Gray.
Every second counts.
Fine.
Do it.
Go.
Just search away.
It was one moment, and I will never escape it.
There's a full jewelry box upstairs, among other things.
They didn't take any of that stuff.
Mm.
Got a baby book here first teeth, baby hair, got a bunch of pictures.
This is an urn.
I don't think this family left willingly.
Hey, Dov.
You find anything? Yeah, I'm hitting walls here.
I need higher clearance.
Well, where's Traci at? Missing kid.
Oliver's running it, though.
Maybe I can talk to her.
Okay.
Pull her into this.
Nobody else, all right? Okay.
Hello! Hi.
Hi.
Can we help you? Uh, yeah, I'm, uh, Erin Jesso, nosey neighbor and, uh, temporary keeper of Tarzan.
What w-who what is that? Uh, uh, the Tarzan, the dog.
Tarzan Klem.
- Okay.
- Oh.
Trust me, it wouldn't be my first choice.
I'm single and 45, and people think I'm odd enough without me running around the park yelling, "Tarzan!" Um D did Mr.
Klem say anything to you about, uh, leaving town? No.
Like I told detective Norman months ago, he would have asked me to water the plants, walk the dog.
I was really close with his wife.
Right.
When did she pass away? Um, four years ago.
Susan really liked music, so Chris had her radio converted into an urn.
Did you notice any odd behavior between either of them the last few months? Yeah, there was one incident.
Uh, one night, a cop car pulled up out front, and Ava was inside.
Her dad went out, and there was a big blowup on the front lawn.
She was going through a difficult stage? The fight wasn't between Chris and Ava.
It was between Chris and the cop.
I-I talked to Detective Norman about it, but she said it didn't have anything to do with the disappearance.
How would she know that? She was the cop that brought Ava home.
Uh, what can you tell me about Evan Malone, the boy from across the street? Well, I saw him this morning.
I found a neon bar sign down the road practically brand-new perfect for my man cave.
Evan was there when I brought it home.
He looked fine to me.
Do you know the boy's parents? Divorced.
They seemed happy at first public displays of affection at the five-and-dime and all that.
No mystery there.
But Why was the ex-husband creeping around her house this morning? That's a mystery.
What is a registered sex offender doing living in a neighborhood that's full of children? Well, Ms.
Malone, that's the law at least for right now.
You know, it's it's not mandatory for sex offenders to register where they're living.
Once they do their time, they can live wherever they'd like.
If Evan had any dealings with him, I didn't see it.
Evan didn't seem to know him.
That doesn't mean much.
Peter, please don't.
This is Evan's father, Peter Malone.
Fine.
Why don't you two, uh, have a seat in the lounge? There's coffee in there.
We'll keep you posted.
Promise.
Okay.
You think Rhys is our guy? He had an explanation.
I Trace, I don't know.
I don't know.
Maybe he's playing us.
Maybe he came in 'cause he wants to know what we know.
Well, we can't hold him once we clear his house.
Yes, I know that.
Maybe he's got Evan stashed somewhere else, at a different location.
You know, if we have an AMBER Alert, at least then we can keep tabs on him and we can keep looking for the kid.
Evan's under 18, but right now we have no evidence that he's been kidnapped.
Except we have a witness who saw that kid talking to a registered sex offender.
A registered sex offender who is cooperating.
That doesn't matter to me.
I think it's worth a shot.
Uh, I am going to, uh, I'm gonna call my inspector, and I'm gonna get him to work on an AMBER Alert for Evan.
Oh, thank God.
Staff? Uh, can I have a word? Yeah.
Is this about my son? If this is about Evan, I want to know now.
Okay.
All right, I have a witness that places Mr.
Malone at his ex-wife's house this morning, right around the time of Evan's disappearance.
You were at the house? - I wanted the garden hose.
- I didn't want to bother you.
Maybe we should speak to you separately, Mr.
Malone.
Y-you guys think I kidnapped my own kid? He didn't.
Peter isn't interested in sharing custody.
He's never even had him overnight.
How can I look after someone who won't connect with me? Peter.
Excuse me, folks.
I-I'm not quite following here.
Why is your son not connecting with you, sir? Evan's on the autism spectrum.
I see.
Barely.
I didn't want to say anything.
Shannon thinks police won't issue AMBER Alerts for children with autism.
We will.
If the criteria is met, we will.
Parents talk.
I've heard that law enforcement tends to dismiss children on the spectrum as wanderers, like they're all the same.
Is Evan is he a wanderer? Yes.
But not today.
Today, he's somewhere.
And he's scared.
And he wants us to come and get him now, but we don't know where to look.
Please help us.
Excuse me.
You calling Jarvis? I am.
But I think I know what the answer's gonna be.
You said you never met Chris Klem.
Isn't that right? No.
I said I never knew him personally.
What about Ava? Same.
You didn't think it was important to mention that you brought Ava home in a squad car and had a confrontation on the front lawn with her father? I received information stating that Ava may have drugs on her person, so I picked her up.
Information from whom? Somebody higher up in the blues than you.
Ooh! And did she have drugs on her? No.
By the time I reached her, she must have stashed them.
Who'd you speak to? That call was confidential.
Well, did this higher-up also tell you not to look for them after they disappeared? You didn't think that was strange? Listen, guys, I have a huge respect for the city police force.
Anything that I can do to help you guys on this end, I'm happy to assist, okay? No questions asked.
No, uh, thank you.
You've been very helpful.
- Appreciate it, Detective.
Thank you.
- Okay.
- Yep.
- Thanks.
What was that? I messed it up.
I messed this up.
How? I messed this whole thing up.
I-I should have been on this faster.
What are you talking about? You put I.
A.
on it.
And now my best friend is the guy on their suspect list.
Nobody is gonna believe that Oliver's corrupt.
- We don't - Okay? No, it's not even possible.
We don't know what they're gonna believe, okay? It happens to cops you'd never expect.
Somebody hands you your next three mortgage payments to let someone slip out of a pot bust, another couple of mortgage payments for a little information.
Next thing you know, they own you.
You're doing things you never thought you would just to save yourself, your job, your family.
Yeah, well, not Oliver.
Izzy got into a little trouble a while back.
She got caught with some ecstasy on her.
Santana offered to wipe it from the system.
He was Oliver's T.
O.
before, uh, your dad.
I know that.
Oliver asked me whether or not he should accept.
What did you say? I said if he did, to keep it between us.
And I know I should have told him not to do it.
And now it'll make him look even more guilty.
Yeah, he looks like the perfect scapegoat now.
And we don't have Chris Klem to tell us it wasn't him.
All right, we just finished searching Rhys' house.
No kid, no secret compartment, no weird searches online.
All right, that means that Rhys Gray we got to let him walk out of here, and we have no AMBER Alert.
We're gonna have to find this kid with APB and BOLOs, okay? There was nothing unusual at that house? Nothing, except there was orange paint all over the porch.
He was painting before he got here.
He was stoked about finding some headboard in the garbage this morning.
Well, that's weird.
I talked to a guy who mentioned finding a, uh, an old bar sign this morning.
Okay.
Doesn't seem like the kind of neighborhood where people are just throwing out old furniture onto the street.
Maybe somebody had something out for pickup, like a junk collector or charity pickup or something.
Then that would mean that there was a van in that neighborhood today, and I want to know who was driving it.
Rhys would know the address of where he found that headboard.
Go.
Rhys Don't tell me.
You didn't find the kid in my basement, but there are neighbors with torches and pitchforks on my lawn.
Look, I am so sorry, but we still need your help, all right? Yeah.
The headboard that you were painting this morning where did you find it? It was in a Pile of junk and old furniture on the sidewalk.
Do you remember which house? The O'Connells across the street, at 119.
Oliver can't even win a round of poker with that face, and they suspect him of this? I know.
It's crazy.
The guy gives his life to saving people, and now this.
It makes you wonder if we chose the right careers.
Okay, I am into Ava Klem's account.
No updates in the last four months.
What are these older posts AvaAmethyst 2019, 2023? I don't know.
Maybe something to do with Video games? Okay.
Dead end? Maybe.
Family said that they moved this stuff with a company called junk mates.
They say that the driver isn't back.
He's still at the restore with the truck.
Okay.
You ready? Yeah.
Let's go find this boy.
So, even if Chris Klem is alive, that doesn't mean we're gonna find him by 6:00.
Hey, guys.
- Hey.
- Hey.
I'm sorry are you guys playing a video game? We're questing.
We have to kill all the mobs before we can get good armor.
God, Traci, that's really fascinating.
Meanwhile, the guy you're supposed to be tracking down to clear Oliver's name is probably dead.
Oh, Ava Klem's not dead.
She's right here.
- What? - What do you mean? Ava posted World of Warcraft achievements, which led Dov to her gaming account.
He just found her.
He's playing her right now.
She's in the city.
We traced her router I.
P.
address to the college and Russell area.
I'm still waiting to hear back from her I.
S.
P.
, but if you guys want to head down there, I'll call you as soon as I have an exact location.
Dov, my apologies.
You're a rock star.
Actually, I'm a muscular orc.
Don't know what that means.
Just make sure she stays online.
Keep her playing! Hey! You do a pickup on Westerland Court this morning? Yeah.
Why? What's up? You see a boy little boy? No.
It was all furniture, man.
What's going on? He's been missing since this morning.
All right, mom said that the kid liked to read fantasy.
Uh, what'd you pick up? Desk, an old wardrobe, some shelves.
You know what? I know this book.
I know this book.
I read this to the girls.
It's about a kid who goes into a magic wardrobe that takes him to different worlds.
Where's the stuff that you picked up today? Right there.
No! No, no, no, no! Nick! Nick! Uh, hold up here, all right? Hold on! Stop! Hold up.
Evan?! Evan? Whoa! Whoa! Hold up! Hold up! Shut it down! Shut it down! Shut it down! It's this thing right here, man.
Evan? Evan?! Okay, it's jammed.
It's jammed.
I need a crowbar or something.
Evan? Evan? Evan?! Here, here, here.
All right.
Give me a hand.
Oh, he's out.
He's out.
He's out.
- Evan? Evan? - Hey, Evan? - Gonna grab him? - Yeah.

Okay, get him up.
Get him up.
Watch his head.
Watch his head.
I got you.
Come on.
Okay, I got him.
I got him.
I got him.
- Give me those legs.
- Grunts.]
All right, call it in.
Call it in, okay? We have a male child, 8 years old, unconscious.
He's unresponsive, Nick.
I'm gonna start CPR.
Got his head? Okay.
Easy, easy, easy, easy, easy.
Down.
Okay.
Check his airway.
Up.
All right.
- Hey, hey, Evan.
- No! Evan.
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! - No, no, no, no, no, no.
- Stop! Aah! Easy, easy.
No.
Easy.
You know what? Evan, Evan? I'm a hey, Evan, Evan.

It's okay.
Yeah, buddy.
Yeah, you're okay.
You're okay, Evan.
Yeah, he's okay.
Evan, I'm Oliver.
Okay, pal.
Okay.
Okay.
Yeah.
It'll ring.
I know.
Speaking of rings Were we? You know, that ring that I bought you was not from a vending machine.
That was a significant purchase.
Uh, yeah, you don't have any allergies.
You wear these little, uh, fake earrings every day.
Shut up.
I know.
It's embarrassing.
What's embarrassing? My earrings! Look, I'm not allergic to Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Cheap metals.
The thing is, I'm really sensitive to precious metals.
Oh.
I'm like a reverse princess.
A reverse princess.
It's not glamorous.
I know.
You know how I kicked your ass at that partner game? No, you didn't kick my ass.
Yeah, well, um We both agree I buy the better gifts.
And you know what before this whole mess started, I bought you the perfect gift at the dollar store.
It's right in that glove box.
You go go for it.
Get in there.
Ohh.
Ohh.
Where did you find it? Yeah.
Where'd I find that? In the bedsheets.
That little gadget is amazing.
As long as you wear your ring with that attached Attached to it? You'll never lose it again.
Check this out.
You want me to wear it like this? I do.

Dov, you killed it.
Thank you.
We're heading to the university library computers.
Let's do it.
Yeah, now it's my turn to get you the perfect gift.
What's that? Whoever's setting up your best man on a silver platter.
Yes, please.
Go that way.
Excuse me.
Uh, who signed you on to this game? Uh, it was just some girl.
Do you know Ava Klem? No.
She just took off.
What's her name? Sam? Sam, behind you.
Hey! Hey, hey! Stop! Hey! Stop! Whoa! Whoa! Hey! Go! Go! Go! Don't kill me! Ava, it's okay.
We're not gonna hurt you.
We just have a couple of questions.
I know you're not real cops, and I know you're going to kill me.
What? No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! It's no! It's it's okay! Ava.
Ava.
Ava, can you just Okay, okay.
Okay! I'm not getting into a squad car.
Okay.
You don't have to.
You just need to call your father.
I can't call him, Officer Murderer.
Obviously, he tossed his phone the minute I activated the plan.
What plan? Hey! Does anyone have a camera on their phone? Because these are not officers of the law! Okay.
All right, all right, calm down.
I demand to know the charges against me! What are the charges against this girl? Nothing.
There are no charges against her.
We are trying to find your father.
Just show us your badge.
I bet it's not even real.
How do we know that's not a fake badge? We are police officers.
Ava, we're not here to hurt you.
We need your help please.
Don't believe them.
They're taking me against my will! We're not taking you.
We really just want to help you, okay? We need to find your dad.
Please.
Should you be touching her? I'm not touching her.
You're very irritating! Hold just Ava! Come on.
Come on.
Let's go.
Let's go.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
No, no, no, no.
It's okay.
Sweetheart, it's okay.
It's not your fault.
It's not your fault, okay? Mr.
Klem? Chris Klem? You got a warrant? We we don't have a warrant.
We just want to talk.
No warrant.
No warrant! Okay, we're leaving.
All right, calm down.
Who who who's chasing you? Why are you running? You know.
You know.
Y-you're in on it! We're not in on anything.
Listen to me.
I'm Detective Swarek.
This is Officer McNally.
Mr.
Klem We believe the person who's threatening you is also trying to frame our friend.
Okay? Our colleague.
Okay, Ava It's time to go right now, okay? You know who to call.
You know the plan.
I'm not leaving.
They want me, not you! Just calm down.
Calm down, all right? Just calm.
Okay, Ava, Mr.
Klem, if we were coming after you, is this where we'd do it in front of all these people, in library? I feel like I'm losing my mind.
You're not losing your mind.
We believe you.
We need to know who's threatening you.
We know it was a police officer.
We know that.
Okay.
This guy called me.
He said he wanted components a det cord and explosives.
Said it was for a training exercise.
I brought it to him, and he showed me his badge, but he said he was in this big rush and he had to go right away, so I didn't fill out the paperwork.
So you gave it to him? Yeah, it was stupid, but he was a police officer.
I work with police officers.
Calm down.
Go on.
That night, I heard about the explosion at 15 division, so I called the number to see what happened, and It was out of service.
The next day, some woman cop picks me up on the side of the road, saying that I have cocaine on me.
I-I'm 15.
I've never even seen cocaine.
It was a threat, which we took seriously, and we left that night.
We've been running ever since.
Okay.
Chris, the officer you sold the explosives to what did he look like? No.
I can't.
No.
If I tell you that, what's gonna happen to us then? We're gonna put you into a safe house tonight.
I promise.
But we're running out of time, and we need a name.
Please.
Oliver Shaw.
His name was Oliver Shaw.
Hey.
Hey.
Hey, check this out.
Another rough day in the white shirt.
Another rough day All right.
Izzy's gig is in an hour, so I'm thinking maybe I should just take it down there, right? - I could rock this.
- Could you just please tell him? - Okay.
- Now, Andy Um, Oliver.
Yes? There's been an Internal Affairs officer conducting an investigation I-into serious corruption in our division, and someone has connected you with the evidence-room bomb.
Wait.
Whoa.
Whoa.
Stop.
Stop.
Wait.
Uh The explosives broker said Oliver Shaw picked it up.
I-I bought the explosives? We know it is not what it looks like.
What okay.
Wait.
Can you tell me what it looks Like? Okay.
As far as I.
A.
is concerned, they're gonna see you've had financial troubles since the divorce, but you're spending money like crazy, you've had a nice promotion, your key card was used in the evidence room the day of the bombing, even though you didn't make any arrests, didn't check in any evidence.
I've been spending money like it's going out of style since the divorce because I'm getting a divorce.
That's how it works.
There's there's Izzy's drug charge.
It disappeared.
There's a report going in to Alonso Santana right right about now Implicating you in the bombing.
Okay, but I got to go.
Okay.
Bye, mom.
Bye-bye.
What? Hi, baby.
Hi.
Okay, well You know what? No.
I just there it's How long have I done this job? in doors to meth houses and busting into basements, and I don't know if I'm gonna get shot by some skid or if I'm ever gonna see my kids' faces again.
Daddy, what happened to your shirt? I saved a kid today.
Okay.
But my kid My girl Who grew up with the same hopes and the same dreams as every other little kid what does she get? She gets to wake up with teeth still under her pillow and a dad who didn't see any of her what is it? Because I'm a cop, right? Because I'm part of the brotherhood brotherhood for the greater good.
What is that thing? There's this thing they say, darling.
It's, uh, "missing solos, but saving the world," right? That's me.
And then I get you guys have to come and tell me this.
That's what I get.
Are they gonna arrest me? Brother, they're gonna bury you.
They're gonna try.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I want you to give this to Jarvis for me.
No! Oliver, don't, okay? There's there's got to be some way to figure this out.
Hey, I'm gonna, uh, I'm gonna go.
I got to I'm gonna I'm gonna drum in my kid's band.
That's what I'm gonna do.
Come on, baby.
Yeah? Are you sure? Yes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You were waiting for passports? Yeah.
I didn't know where to start.
But I'm a nerd, so I thought books.
We researched how to disappear.
The library kind of became a command center.
But how did you get birth certificates? I called people and said I was government, told them there was a fire, and they had to mail in their birth certificates in order for us to re-register them and Most people didn't.
But Some people did.
What do you know.
We had some money under the mattress my wife's rainy-day fund.
I left her ashes.
I couldn't risk anyone knowing that, uh, we were alive, so We even left Tarzan.
Put him in the backyard and walked out.
Is he okay? Yeah.
He's fine.
He's with your neighbor.
You seen Nash? No? I'm sorry About everything.
I just I didn't know what to do.
I understand.
I mean, I have a son.
I would do anything I had to to protect him.
Even from the police? Yeah.
If they're dirty, yeah.
What's going on? What do you mean? That's him.
That's the cop who bought the bomb.
That's his face.
That's Oliver Shaw.
Why is he calling you? Why is he calling you? Oh, finally! Where have you been? Uh, Andy needed me.
I've been trying to call you.
Sorry.
I, um, I turned my ringer off.
Oh.
Everything okay? Yeah.
Good, 'cause I'm starving, and they're holding our reservation.
And I know how much you love the Crazy Grill, Trace, but but every time we leave there, we smell like the Crazy Grill, all right? I mean So, are you, um Are you sure you're willing to pay that price? Mmm.
There's always a price, isn't there? Shall we? We shall.
Great.
He was set up.
I think there's something he's not telling us.
Next time on a new "Rookie Blue".
I am scared.
Someone has a secret.
You have no idea what's going on here.
Alright? So dangerous.
what kind of cop are you?! I feel like I just ruined a bunch of people's lives.
New "Rookie Blue" next Wednesday on Global
- Me! - Oh! - Are you kidding me? No.
Your clothes are all over my bedroom floor.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I didn't know that was a problem.
I can make it stop.
Ohh! "Ohh.
" All right, all right, all right.
W-we'll move past that.
Uh, next question who gives better gifts? Show us what you've won, McNally.
Okay.
I will.
I'm I'm just gonna hold on.
All right, pausing the game.
And Sammy is jilted on the hot seat.
How's that sit with you, pal? It's fine.
Give me a chance to, uh To ask you a favor.
Uh, I would love to, but I cannot be your last fling.
No.
Now, as you all know, I'm getting married.
Oliver Aww! Will you be my best man? Will you have me? I think that I sealed the deal with the whole, uh, you know, "how well do you know your partner?" Quiz.
Uh, totally, brother.
It would be my pleasure.
You don't have to ask.
I love you.
Anytime.
Love you, too, buddy.
I'm gonna get this guy a drink.
Traci? I need to talk to you for a second.
Uh Give me a second.
Okay.
It's okay.
Hey.
Hey.
Hey.
Hey.
Hey, what's up? You're giving me stress face.
I-I don't know where my engagement ring is.
D-d-did you check the bathroom? Yes.
- Pockets? - Yes.
- Purse? - I don't have a purse.
Well, w-when's the last time you saw it? I don't know.
Uh, Sam's place? My place? Uh, the mall? Well, good you've narrowed it down.
I cannot tell him that I lost the ring.
Okay, okay.
Y uh, you are Having an allergic reaction.
- Yes, I am.
- Yeah? And also, like, I can't stay at his place tonight because I'm Exfo exfoliating.
Sure.
Sure.
So so, then, um, we okay, so after your shift tomorrow, we scour your place, his place.
We break into that truck if we have to.
There's nothing in this world that isn't somewhere, right? Yeah.
You mind? Thank you.
- Glad I caught you.
- Mm.
Commissioner, good morning.
Is there something I can help you with, sir? Yes.
My stepson, Duncan, says that there's some new blood at 15 division someone called Ward.
Yes Officer Juliet Ward.
But she's not just an officer, is she? See, I checked.
She's Internal Affairs.
- She is.
- Yes.
I assigned her.
Uh, it's hot in here.
Do you mind if we Just talk outside? Did I miss an e-mail, Williams? Well, there was an explosion in their evidence room, and a lot of cases were blown that day, so it made sense to put someone in there, make sure none of our people allowed that to happen.
I think you're missing the point.
Why wasn't I informed? Well, Commissioner You hired me to take the pressure off you.
I can't help you if I'm pestering you about every single decision.
Delegate, right? That's what I'm here for.
I figured that's what it was.
Mm-hmm.
'Cause I am an optimist.
I need to see a report.
Absolutely.
Just give me a week or two, put it together.
Anything you have.
End of day is fine.
Yes, sir.
So, he's onto Juliet.
You think he's onto you? I don't know.
But he wants a report at the end of today.
Okay.
Is that a problem? Yeah.
Because, according to Ward, the only officer who could have put a bomb in the evidence room Is Oliver.
You got to fix this, Sammy.
"Most likely to pick the restaurant.
" You.
- Uh, Crazy Grill, tonight, 8:00, by the way.
- Good.
"Most likely to reach for their wallet.
" You.
"Most likely to actually pay.
" Me.
Who's winning? He's playing by himself, sir.
Of course he is.
Classic Peck.
- "Chuh-loa pree-chay," my oneshoed wonder.
- Hey.
What, uh, what's going on there? Is that a bunion? Ew.
No.
It's just it's it's it's a blister.
I'll I'll put my shoe on.
Do you ever hang out at Joe's Fish Tank? Oh, yeah, not since I was 13.
That's probably the last time I wore a scrunchie.
Uh, Dov, uh, have you been to Joe's Fish Tank lately? Oh, man, I love that place.
They got an indoor zipline over a sea of plastic balls.
That is true.
Yes, the zipline.
Also, they have just phat acoustics.
Okay? I am playing, um, I'm playing drums in Izzy's band there tonight.
- Yes! - Awesome.
Here's hoping no overtime.
Okay, you're both on the list.
Like, you're each other's plus-one.
So I need your energy there.
Funny.
Hey, handsome.
Hey.
What's wrong? What I told you about Juliet Ward it's true.
She's I.
A.
How many times am I right? I mean, is anybody even keeping count anymore? Listen to me.
Ted McDonald said Commissioner Santana was corrupt.
He said he had evidence against him.
Mm-hmm.
Okay? Then Ted McDonald dies, and his evidence blows up.
Which is why Juliet's here.
Because if Santana was behind the bomb, then someone in 15 helped him.
We've been through this.
Santana has figured out why Juliet is here, and he wants Noelle's report by the end of the day, 6:00.
Well, does she even have a name? Oliver Shaw.
Come on.
Sam, that is ridiculous.
Yeah, obviously, it's ridic it doesn't matter what we think, okay? Oliver's key card was used in the evidence room the day of the bombing.
So? Anybody could have used his key card.
Then t-there's his promotion, right? Beat cop to Staff Sergeant that's a big one.
He didn't even want that promotion.
Andy, I'm just looking at this how I.
A.
is gonna look at it, okay? If I were them, I would have questions.
If Santana is dirty And he can pin it all on Oliver, he will.
Well, what are we supposed to do? I don't know.
We I we find out who helped Santana, and we clear Oliver.
What by 6:00 tonight? Dov Dov was working the Intelligence Unit before Jarvis shut them down.
I mean, he's got to know something.
And I would trust him with my life.
Okay, go.
I'll check the evidence-room records.
Tonight? Yes, by 6:00, otherwise, Santana could sewer Oliver.
So, what should I know? We found out where the bomb came from, - but it didn't go anywhere.
- Where did it come from? Some explosives dealer named Chris Klem.
Well, where's he at? On a missing-persons list in Kitchener.
Klem's a widower and a single father.
Both he and his 15-year-old daughter, Ava, are missing.
Hmm.
Did you follow up on that? I tried, but Jarvis shut us down about a month ago.
Up until that point, there'd been no activity on his credit cards or bank accounts.
I mean, I could check again today.
Yeah.
Do that.
Okay, Sam and I are gonna go to Kitchener.
We'll talk to the local police.
Dov, do not tell anybody about this.
Oliver doesn't know.
All right, guys, listen up.
Focus.
Listen.
We have a kid who's disappeared from his house over in Westerland Court.
His name is Evan Malone.
He is 9 years old.
This is going to be the focus of our day, okay? We have officers on the scene.
They're gonna be bringing people from the neighborhood back here for questioning.
Hopefully, some of those folks are gonna be witnesses that may have seen Evan this morning.
Yes? How long has he been missing? He's been gone for two hours.
We talking AMBER Alert? We don't know what we're talking about.
Moore, what do we need for an AMBER Alert? Evidence of child abduction.
So, uh, the child must be under 18, and we got to believe that they're under threat of bodily harm or death.
So, we would need a description of the suspect or at least a vehicle.
An AMBER Alert lets the world know that a child is missing.
A missing-persons report gets put into a file.
Go and find me what Moore said.
Any extra information we get will be forwarded on to you.
Make this fast, folks.
They've been missing for three months.
Wonder what state the house is in.
Uh, well, Kitchener P.
D.
said they left it the way they found it.
I mean, nobody can touch it unless they have formal death certificates, so Any relatives? Uh, no close ones.
Both sets of parents are deceased.
There's one aunt in Milwaukee, but she hasn't heard from him in years.
Missing persons low priority unless somebody's making noise.
Well, let's make some noise.
It's right here.
The house certainly looks like you'd expect it to.
Well I've noticed, uh You haven't been wearing your ring.
Oh, yeah.
Well, I-I kind of developed, uh, an allergic reaction.
Oh.
Um, but there's actually a spray that I can get that will make it she's here.
Hi.
- Hi, there.
McNally? - Yes.
Swarek, hi.
Detective Norman.
Hey, thanks for coming to meet us on such short notice.
We've, uh, we've seen the file, but maybe you could fill us in from your end? Yeah, for sure.
Uh, the neighbors found the dog locked outside no food, no water so they called us.
School hadn't seen Ava for a couple of days, so we started looking for her.
Where's the dog now? Oh, the neighbor took it.
I would have took it myself, except I already got a dog.
It's weird, right? They disappeared into thin air.
If I were the religious type, I'd swear they were raptured.
Did you speak with anyone, uh, that mentioned maybe he was taking a trip? Not that I heard.
There was nothing unusual with this guy.
He was normal, well-liked.
His mortgage was paid off.
He wasn't even in debt.
Detective, have you and the local police really tried to find this family? W-what's been your follow-up? You know, we looked for them.
They're gone.
Who knows? Maybe they didn't like the climate.
You didn't think it was odd they left their passports behind? Sometimes people just up and leave.
You know, they join a cult, they develop a mental illness, they get Alzheimer's and, you know, wander into the oblivion.
Okay, well, Chris Klem is 39 years old.
I highly doubt that he developed Alzheimer's.
But I guess it is plausible that they were abducted by aliens.
Hey, don't think we didn't bandy that one around the precinct.
So, uh You guys got everything you need? Are you in a hurry? Oh, you're not in a hurry? Down in the big city? You know what? I'll just I'll wait outside.
What are you thinking? What are we looking for? Forensics went over this place, right? No sign of a struggle.
You think they were paid to disappear? New names, new I.
D.
s, disappeared into Chilean Patagonia.
Okay, let's say they had a choice.
Right? They would probably take some stuff with them.
What kind of stuff? Like sentimental things, things that matter to them that maybe they thought we would never notice.
Small stuff.
It wouldn't hurt to look, you know, kind of see if they were forced to leave or not.
All right.
I'll start upstairs.
It's a good idea.
Evan was wearing a red hoodie and pajama pants.
He was reading one of his fantasy books outside in the yard.
He's quiet.
He doesn't have a lot of friends.
Where's Evan's father? I called.
I haven't heard back.
We're in the middle of a divorce.
Why isn't there an AMBER Alert yet? I promise you we're working on that.
Okay.
But whoever took Evan could be crossing the border right now.
And an AMBER Alert is not gonna help us.
Mrs.
Malone, we wouldn't know what model or make of car to stop.
Before we proceed, we need to know what we're looking for.
S-so that's what you're doing.
That's exactly what we're doing.
Okay? Everyone here is looking for your son.
- Okay.
- Okay.
Staff.
You'll have to excuse me.
Yeah? Okay, so, Nick spoke to a neighbor named Gary Fulham.
He was gardening.
He saw the boy talking to that guy Rhys Gray.
He then went for a drive-through breakfast sandwich.
When he came back, they were both gone.
- Okay, run those names.
- Already on it.
- Chloe's checking the names of everyone who walks in here.
- Okay.
Thanks.
How long have you lived on Westerland Court? So, did you see the boy this morning? Yeah.
Evan came over to watch me from next door.
I'd just rescued this amazing shabby-chic headboard, and I was repainting it.
High-gloss orange? You can never go wrong with high-gloss orange.
What time did you talk to Evan? Around, uh, 8:00 A.
M.
Um he was yakking away to himself, and I asked him who he was talking to, and he looked at me like I was crazy.
And I was like, "uh, you're the one who's talking to yourself.
" Oh.
That's not funny 'cause he's missing.
How long was Evan with you? Just a few minutes.
I went in to get more coffee, and when I came back, he was gone, so I figured he'd gone home.
I hope he's okay.
I mean, he's a sweet kid.
Officer Peck? What's up? Hi.
Can I have a word, please? Excuse me.
Uh, so, your guy's in the system.
Rhys Gray is a registered sex offender.
All right, Rhys, this is Detective Nash.
She's just gonna ask you a few questions.
Okay, but I volunteered to come in and talk to you, so why am I now talking to a detective? Mr.
Gray, it's come to our attention that you are a registered No.
No, I'm not.
I'm I'm not a sex offender.
But our system identified a Rhys Gray of 102 Westerland Court as a sex offender.
That's not you? It was 20 years ago.
The cops caught me in a car with a guy who said he was 18.
He was actually 17.
But I was 25, so they charged me with sexual abuse of a minor.
And now you have a record.
For the rest of my life.
And, you know, if it had been straight sex, I wouldn't even have been charged.
Age of consent for gay sex, at the time, was 18, but f-for straight sex, it was 16.
I-it was discrimination.
Do we have your permission to search your house? I had nothing to do with this.
What if I say no? Then we'll take the time to get a warrant, but this is a missing child, Mr.
Gray.
Every second counts.
Fine.
Do it.
Go.
Just search away.
It was one moment, and I will never escape it.
There's a full jewelry box upstairs, among other things.
They didn't take any of that stuff.
Mm.
Got a baby book here first teeth, baby hair, got a bunch of pictures.
This is an urn.
I don't think this family left willingly.
Hey, Dov.
You find anything? Yeah, I'm hitting walls here.
I need higher clearance.
Well, where's Traci at? Missing kid.
Oliver's running it, though.
Maybe I can talk to her.
Okay.
Pull her into this.
Nobody else, all right? Okay.
Hello! Hi.
Hi.
Can we help you? Uh, yeah, I'm, uh, Erin Jesso, nosey neighbor and, uh, temporary keeper of Tarzan.
What w-who what is that? Uh, uh, the Tarzan, the dog.
Tarzan Klem.
- Okay.
- Oh.
Trust me, it wouldn't be my first choice.
I'm single and 45, and people think I'm odd enough without me running around the park yelling, "Tarzan!" Um D did Mr.
Klem say anything to you about, uh, leaving town? No.
Like I told detective Norman months ago, he would have asked me to water the plants, walk the dog.
I was really close with his wife.
Right.
When did she pass away? Um, four years ago.
Susan really liked music, so Chris had her radio converted into an urn.
Did you notice any odd behavior between either of them the last few months? Yeah, there was one incident.
Uh, one night, a cop car pulled up out front, and Ava was inside.
Her dad went out, and there was a big blowup on the front lawn.
She was going through a difficult stage? The fight wasn't between Chris and Ava.
It was between Chris and the cop.
I-I talked to Detective Norman about it, but she said it didn't have anything to do with the disappearance.
How would she know that? She was the cop that brought Ava home.
Uh, what can you tell me about Evan Malone, the boy from across the street? Well, I saw him this morning.
I found a neon bar sign down the road practically brand-new perfect for my man cave.
Evan was there when I brought it home.
He looked fine to me.
Do you know the boy's parents? Divorced.
They seemed happy at first public displays of affection at the five-and-dime and all that.
No mystery there.
But Why was the ex-husband creeping around her house this morning? That's a mystery.
What is a registered sex offender doing living in a neighborhood that's full of children? Well, Ms.
Malone, that's the law at least for right now.
You know, it's it's not mandatory for sex offenders to register where they're living.
Once they do their time, they can live wherever they'd like.
If Evan had any dealings with him, I didn't see it.
Evan didn't seem to know him.
That doesn't mean much.
Peter, please don't.
This is Evan's father, Peter Malone.
Fine.
Why don't you two, uh, have a seat in the lounge? There's coffee in there.
We'll keep you posted.
Promise.
Okay.
You think Rhys is our guy? He had an explanation.
I Trace, I don't know.
I don't know.
Maybe he's playing us.
Maybe he came in 'cause he wants to know what we know.
Well, we can't hold him once we clear his house.
Yes, I know that.
Maybe he's got Evan stashed somewhere else, at a different location.
You know, if we have an AMBER Alert, at least then we can keep tabs on him and we can keep looking for the kid.
Evan's under 18, but right now we have no evidence that he's been kidnapped.
Except we have a witness who saw that kid talking to a registered sex offender.
A registered sex offender who is cooperating.
That doesn't matter to me.
I think it's worth a shot.
Uh, I am going to, uh, I'm gonna call my inspector, and I'm gonna get him to work on an AMBER Alert for Evan.
Oh, thank God.
Staff? Uh, can I have a word? Yeah.
Is this about my son? If this is about Evan, I want to know now.
Okay.
All right, I have a witness that places Mr.
Malone at his ex-wife's house this morning, right around the time of Evan's disappearance.
You were at the house? - I wanted the garden hose.
- I didn't want to bother you.
Maybe we should speak to you separately, Mr.
Malone.
Y-you guys think I kidnapped my own kid? He didn't.
Peter isn't interested in sharing custody.
He's never even had him overnight.
How can I look after someone who won't connect with me? Peter.
Excuse me, folks.
I-I'm not quite following here.
Why is your son not connecting with you, sir? Evan's on the autism spectrum.
I see.
Barely.
I didn't want to say anything.
Shannon thinks police won't issue AMBER Alerts for children with autism.
We will.
If the criteria is met, we will.
Parents talk.
I've heard that law enforcement tends to dismiss children on the spectrum as wanderers, like they're all the same.
Is Evan is he a wanderer? Yes.
But not today.
Today, he's somewhere.
And he's scared.
And he wants us to come and get him now, but we don't know where to look.
Please help us.
Excuse me.
You calling Jarvis? I am.
But I think I know what the answer's gonna be.
You said you never met Chris Klem.
Isn't that right? No.
I said I never knew him personally.
What about Ava? Same.
You didn't think it was important to mention that you brought Ava home in a squad car and had a confrontation on the front lawn with her father? I received information stating that Ava may have drugs on her person, so I picked her up.
Information from whom? Somebody higher up in the blues than you.
Ooh! And did she have drugs on her? No.
By the time I reached her, she must have stashed them.
Who'd you speak to? That call was confidential.
Well, did this higher-up also tell you not to look for them after they disappeared? You didn't think that was strange? Listen, guys, I have a huge respect for the city police force.
Anything that I can do to help you guys on this end, I'm happy to assist, okay? No questions asked.
No, uh, thank you.
You've been very helpful.
- Appreciate it, Detective.
Thank you.
- Okay.
- Yep.
- Thanks.
What was that? I messed it up.
I messed this up.
How? I messed this whole thing up.
I-I should have been on this faster.
What are you talking about? You put I.
A.
on it.
And now my best friend is the guy on their suspect list.
Nobody is gonna believe that Oliver's corrupt.
- We don't - Okay? No, it's not even possible.
We don't know what they're gonna believe, okay? It happens to cops you'd never expect.
Somebody hands you your next three mortgage payments to let someone slip out of a pot bust, another couple of mortgage payments for a little information.
Next thing you know, they own you.
You're doing things you never thought you would just to save yourself, your job, your family.
Yeah, well, not Oliver.
Izzy got into a little trouble a while back.
She got caught with some ecstasy on her.
Santana offered to wipe it from the system.
He was Oliver's T.
O.
before, uh, your dad.
I know that.
Oliver asked me whether or not he should accept.
What did you say? I said if he did, to keep it between us.
And I know I should have told him not to do it.
And now it'll make him look even more guilty.
Yeah, he looks like the perfect scapegoat now.
And we don't have Chris Klem to tell us it wasn't him.
All right, we just finished searching Rhys' house.
No kid, no secret compartment, no weird searches online.
All right, that means that Rhys Gray we got to let him walk out of here, and we have no AMBER Alert.
We're gonna have to find this kid with APB and BOLOs, okay? There was nothing unusual at that house? Nothing, except there was orange paint all over the porch.
He was painting before he got here.
He was stoked about finding some headboard in the garbage this morning.
Well, that's weird.
I talked to a guy who mentioned finding a, uh, an old bar sign this morning.
Okay.
Doesn't seem like the kind of neighborhood where people are just throwing out old furniture onto the street.
Maybe somebody had something out for pickup, like a junk collector or charity pickup or something.
Then that would mean that there was a van in that neighborhood today, and I want to know who was driving it.
Rhys would know the address of where he found that headboard.
Go.
Rhys Don't tell me.
You didn't find the kid in my basement, but there are neighbors with torches and pitchforks on my lawn.
Look, I am so sorry, but we still need your help, all right? Yeah.
The headboard that you were painting this morning where did you find it? It was in a Pile of junk and old furniture on the sidewalk.
Do you remember which house? The O'Connells across the street, at 119.
Oliver can't even win a round of poker with that face, and they suspect him of this? I know.
It's crazy.
The guy gives his life to saving people, and now this.
It makes you wonder if we chose the right careers.
Okay, I am into Ava Klem's account.
No updates in the last four months.
What are these older posts AvaAmethyst 2019, 2023? I don't know.
Maybe something to do with Video games? Okay.
Dead end? Maybe.
Family said that they moved this stuff with a company called junk mates.
They say that the driver isn't back.
He's still at the restore with the truck.
Okay.
You ready? Yeah.
Let's go find this boy.
So, even if Chris Klem is alive, that doesn't mean we're gonna find him by 6:00.
Hey, guys.
- Hey.
- Hey.
I'm sorry are you guys playing a video game? We're questing.
We have to kill all the mobs before we can get good armor.
God, Traci, that's really fascinating.
Meanwhile, the guy you're supposed to be tracking down to clear Oliver's name is probably dead.
Oh, Ava Klem's not dead.
She's right here.
- What? - What do you mean? Ava posted World of Warcraft achievements, which led Dov to her gaming account.
He just found her.
He's playing her right now.
She's in the city.
We traced her router I.
P.
address to the college and Russell area.
I'm still waiting to hear back from her I.

Dov, my apologies.

Actually, I'm a muscular orc.
Don't know what that means.
Just make sure she stays online.
Keep her playing! Hey! You do a pickup on Westerland Court this morning? Yeah.
Why? What's up? You see a boy little boy? No.
It was all furniture, man.
What's going on? He's been missing since this morning.
All right, mom said that the kid liked to read fantasy.
Uh, what'd you pick up? Desk, an old wardrobe, some shelves.
You know what? I know this book.
I know this book.
I read this to the girls.
It's about a kid who goes into a magic wardrobe that takes him to different worlds.

Speaking of rings Were we? You know, that ring that I bought you was not from a vending machine.
That was a significant purchase.

You wear these little, uh, fake earrings every day.
Shut up.
I know.
It's embarrassing.
What's embarrassing? My earrings! Look, I'm not allergic to Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Cheap metals.
The thing is, I'm really sensitive to precious metals.
Oh.
I'm like a reverse princess.
A reverse princess.
It's not glamorous.
I know.
You know how I kicked your ass at that partner game? No, you didn't kick my ass.
Yeah, well, um We both agree I buy the better gifts.
And you know what before this whole mess started, I bought you the perfect gift at the dollar store.
It's right in that glove box.
You go go for it.
Get in there.
Ohh.
Ohh.
Where did you find it? Yeah.
Where'd I find that? In the bedsheets.
That little gadget is amazing.

Check this out.
You want me to wear it like this? I do.

Do you know Ava Klem? No.
She just took off.
What's her name? Sam? Sam, behind you.
Hey! Hey, hey! Stop! Hey! Stop! Whoa! Whoa! Hey! Go! Go! Go! Don't kill me! Ava, it's okay.

Ava, can you just Okay, okay.
Okay! I'm not getting into a squad car.

You just need to call your father.
I can't call him, Officer Murderer.
Obviously, he tossed his phone the minute I activated the plan.
What plan? Hey! Does anyone have a camera on their phone? Because these are not officers of the law! Okay.
All right, all right, calm down.
I demand to know the charges against me! What are the charges against this girl? Nothing.
There are no charges against her.
We are trying to find your father.
Just show us your badge.
I bet it's not even real.
How do we know that's not a fake badge? We are police officers.

All right, calm down.
Who who who's chasing you? Why are you running? You know.
You know.
Y-you're in on it! We're not in on anything.
Listen to me.

You know the plan.
I'm not leaving.
They want me, not you! Just calm down.

You're not losing your mind.
We believe you.
We need to know who's threatening you.
We know it was a police officer.
We know that.
Okay.
This guy called me.
He said he wanted components a det cord and explosives.
Said it was for a training exercise.
I brought it to him, and he showed me his badge, but he said he was in this big rush and he had to go right away, so I didn't fill out the paperwork.
So you gave it to him? Yeah, it was stupid, but he was a police officer.
I work with police officers.
Calm down.
Go on.
That night, I heard about the explosion at 15 division, so I called the number to see what happened, and It was out of service.
The next day, some woman cop picks me up on the side of the road, saying that I have cocaine on me.
I-I'm 15.
I've never even seen cocaine.
It was a threat, which we took seriously, and we left that night.
We've been running ever since.
Okay.
Chris, the officer you sold the explosives to what did he look like? No.
I can't.
No.
If I tell you that, what's gonna happen to us then? We're gonna put you into a safe house tonight.
I promise.
But we're running out of time, and we need a name.
