Officer.
It's been two days.
When can I take a shower?
Thought I might find you here.
All these people, what would they say
if they knew the person who saved them
was also a kidnapper who got away with her crime?
Gabi, you have to stop punishing herself.
Sir's in jail.
You're free. It's over.
It's not over.
Sir knew the one thing I needed to be free
was to pay my penance, and he took that from me.
It keeps me still trapped in that damn farmhouse.
For the first time, I can't predict his next move.
- I don't like that. - Forget him.
Focus on you.
There are other ways to heal.
Bernie, it's good to hear from you.
Stay there.
Yes, I'm on my way.
Who was that?
An old friend.
- Bernie? - Gabi?
Gabi, is that you?
Yes, it's me. I'm here.
What happened?
Someone took her.
Someone took Violet!
Gabi, my cane, please.
Dcpd!
We've been called for a disturbance.
- Nobody move! - Don't shoot!
- Hands in the air! - What's going on?
- Don't shoot! - What's going on, gabi?
I need to get Bernie home.
Well, that won't be happening anytime soon.
Trent, his sister is missing.
We need to be out looking for Violet,
not badgering her brother.
We are holding him for more questioning, gabi.
On what grounds?
On the grounds that he is a person of interest
in the suspected murder of his sister.
Murder?
There was no forced entry.
The neighbors heard him and Violet fighting.
And there was blood found in the hallway, elevator,
and near the dumpster in the garage.
We're currently tracking down the truck
that took out the trash.
He's blind.
He's a respected pastor at holy Shepherd church.
He's not a murderer.
Just because Bernie is legally blind
doesn't mean that he's not capable of murder.
He can still make out lights and shapes enough
to get his hands on someone.
Trent, I know Bernie.
He could never commit that kind of violence.
When's the last time you talked to him?
About a year ago at his wife Maria's funeral.
Well, a lot can change in 12 months.
And this isn't the first time dcpd's
been called to his place.
Bernie and Violet fought constantly.
Maybe things escalated.
You said person of interest.
So technically, he's not under arrest.
I'll take responsibility for Bernie.
Who is he to you?
His wife, Maria, was my therapist
when I escaped the farmhouse.
She helped, but it was actually Bernie and his faith
that helped the most.
Before there was Gina, there was Bernie.
Look, there's no warrant yet,
so you are free to take him for now.
What is it?
Christian's car was found abandoned
a few miles from his hotel.
No sign of him, but these were in there.
Thank you.
Triple shot?
Think you should be drinking that much caffeine?
I'm not six anymore.
Besides, I barely slept last night.
Those motel mattresses should be illegal.
You know you can always sleep in your own bed.
I told you, I'm not ready.
Right, ok, I'm not pushing.
So I heard gabi's message.
Sounds like m&a has a case.
Well, I thought today was supposed to be
about the two of us.
But I could help.
I mean, aren't the first couple of days
someone's missing the most important?
Maybe you'll tell me about your first couple of days
when you're ready.
I actually can't remember.
So anyway, the case?
Fine, but unless you want the whole world to know
you're back, we should go now.
Keep your head down.
I won't let anyone near you.
Where's mommy?
I miss Jamie!
He's gonna come back.
But, daddy, won't he be hungry?
He doesn't have his lunch box.
I promise, he'll be back.
I don't understand.
What do you mean, he's gone?
Was someone near him? Did you leave him?
No, no. He was... he was right here.
He was right here.
Gabi mosely, how do you feel since sir's capture?
Are you gonna testify at his trial?
Just ignore them.
Gabi, could I get one quick statement?
Are you relieved the nightmare is over?
Leave her the hell alone.
Can you walk me through exactly
what happened last night?
I went to bed early.
I woke up when I heard a crash.
Then Violet screamed my name,
and I ran into the living room, tripped, and fell.
That's how I lost my walking stick.
I was crawling on the floor looking for her,
and I felt blood next to the smashed cabinet.
And then I called you.
Is there anyone you know
who might have wanted to hurt Violet?
I don't know what's going on in her life anymore.
Is that because you two were fighting?
Can you give us a moment?
Bernie, the only way I can help is if you're honest with me.
I know you and Violet have always
had a peaceful relationship.
What changed?
She killed her.
She killed my Maria.
Bernie became a pastor after he was diagnosed
with retinitis pigmentosa.
It's a rare hereditary and degenerative eye disease.
Violet's a retired programmer, lived in Florida
until she moved to DC 18 months ago to take care
- of Bernie and a sick Maria. - Was Violet ever religious?
Not from what I can tell, which is surprising,
given how gifted Bernie was in the pulpit.
God did not bring darkness into my world
but stayed by my side when I could no longer see.
Now, I know that I am not alone in my testimony.
And I'm here to tell you that neither are you.
He's always had enough faith to move mountains.
Bernie admitted that he blames Violet
for his wife Maria's death.
That's what they were fighting about?
Maria had been sick for several months.
Before the doctors could figure out what was wrong,
she had a stroke and slipped into a coma.
But a few days prior, Maria gave Violet control
over her end-of-life care.
Bernie didn't know?
Not until Violet made the decision
to take Maria off life support.
I hate to say it, gabi, but that's motive.
I know. But he didn't do it.
Look, no forced entry just means either Bernie
or Violet knew her abductor.
Based on Bernie's emails, the only person
he had beef with lately outside of his sister
is a Deacon from his church, Roland Brady.
Six months ago, he asked Bernie
for help with his gambling debt.
Bernie sent back a nasty response.
Things escalated, and Deacon Roland said,
"and I quote," you'll soon find yourself alone, Bernie,
with no one there for you, and it'll be all your fault."
Six months of gambling debt, threatening emails.
It's not a good look for a Deacon.
Dhan, head over to Bernie's. Shaker's still over there.
Zeke, keep diving into Violet's life.
I want everything from her cell phone,
neighborhood cameras, who she played bingo with.
Lacey, with me.
It's time for us to have a little chat
with that poker-loving Deacon.
Yo, Evans, you have a visitor.
Heavy boots.
Found these in your brother's car.
So where is he? Where's Christian?
It's fascinating how concerned you are
with my family when you should worry about your own.
Have you confronted your father about those missing children,
or is your limited brain still in denial about the truth?
Your brother is dangerous.
He has eyes on gabi.
Christian is not dangerous.
He lacks spine.
He shot a civilian.
You're going to prison for the rest of your life.
Gabi is out there, vulnerable and exposed.
If you care about her, you will talk to me.
You know gabi will never see or speak to you again.
You are stuck with me.
Enjoy.
Find anything?
Just getting started.
Get off me.
What?
Found him poking around the first floor.
Looked like he was casing the place.
He said he was with you.
Who is this?
You brought Jamie to a crime scene?
I told you to wait in the car.
Sorry, I got nervous. I just wanted to find you.
Jamie Reed? I'll be damned.
I have half a mind to file a report against him.
There's been enough chaos this morning.
That won't be necessary.
It's clear you take your job seriously.
And I'm sure you gave a statement.
But these folks were hired by Bernie to find his sister.
We're hopeful she's still alive.
Did you know her well?
No, I didn't.
I don't have personal relationships
with any residents.
Withholding won't help us find her.
Like the cop lady said, I already gave my statement.
- So unless I'm under arrest... - You're not... yet.
But call me "cop lady" one more time,
and you gonna have a problem.
Then I'm headed back to my post.
That's y'all cue too.
Kid at a crime scene contaminates evidence.
I'm confused.
What do you mean Bernie sayers isn't the pastor here anymore?
He quit about a year ago, after his wife died.
I'm sorry that his sister's missing,
but Violet wasn't a member.
I don't know how I can help you.
We know about your gambling debt
and that you threatened Bernie when he refused to help.
I am so ashamed.
Yes, I have a gambling problem.
But I didn't go to Bernie for money.
I went to him for emotional support, a prayer partner.
Bernie was my rock, my confidant,
and he helped me get my gambling
under control in the past.
And I thought he could do it again.
And I was wrong.
Bernie's changed a lot since Maria's death.
Become more cruel, less forgiving.
And him casting me aside hurt, and I got upset.
But they were just words, Ms. Mosely.
You can't possibly think
I would hurt Violet as payback.
I'm a man of god.
Old testament god or new testament god?
'Cause they handled forgiveness and vengeance
very differently.
Deacon, your meeting's started.
Gabi mosley?
My lord.
I haven't seen you in 20 years.
Are you rejoining us?
Hi, Ms. Pearl.
Not today.
I just needed to speak to the Deacon.
Ok, well, I hope he didn't scare you off.
I mean, he's doing the best he can,
but this place just hasn't been the same since Bernie left us.
He was the real magic here, as you know,
kind of like you're the magic at m&a.
And losing Bernie would be like m&a losing you.
Right, honey?
You don't like Deacon Roland?
He's ok, I suppose.
It's just that his biggest sin is, he's not Bernie.
- Excuse me. - Of course.
What is it?
It's Christian.
You think it's a trap?
What I think is, Christian's behavior doesn't add up.
First he comes to town to help us.
Then he shoots Heather.
Then he breaks into my house to leave a letter
proclaiming his innocence, now this?
You don't think he's the accomplice anymore.
Please tell me you're not sneaking back to Bernie's.
I have no choice since Margaret's kid
- officially got us booted out. - Turns out, Margaret
was right about the security guard.
I'm sending a still to your phone.
I picked this up from a random post
on a popular social media site.
That's Violet and Leonard.
Caption claims someone caught this argument
on their door cam, and right after the screen grab,
Violet runs off
and the security guard chases after her.
Time for me to have another chat with Leonard.
You have one chance to tell the truth,
or this will not end well for you.
Where's Violet?
I swear, I don't know.
We saw your confrontation.
It looked like you were pulling some sort of weapon.
A weapon?
Wait!
You've got it wrong.
Look, I'll prove it.
I was proposing.
She backed away when she said no.
Rejection is also a motive.
I'd never hurt Violet. I love her.
And I understood why she rejected me.
She was afraid to leave Bernie alone.
I told her she deserved to be happy and free of his pain,
but she couldn't let him go.
So I let her go.
I would know if the woman I loved had left this earth.
I need y'all to keep looking.
Please.
Find her.
He's breaking everything. Please hurry! I'm scared.
That's a 911 call from a few months ago
that shaker sent over.
That doesn't prove that Bernie hurt Violet.
And it certainly doesn't mean that he murdered her.
Gabi, she was terrified.
Bernie's angry.
Even the Deacon said he's changed.
He attacked the press today.
I mean, can you at least admit that there's
a possibility Bernie might be involved,
even if it was accidental?
I am tired... well, it wasn't the security guard.
I am tired of everyone questioning
my judgment on this case.
Who's everyone?
We're exploring options like we always do.
My instincts are telling me that Bernie didn't do this.
Just like Margaret's instincts
are telling her that Jamie's her son?
Because we're all still being cautious about that.
That's why we're meeting here, isn't it?
So Margaret can have space from us?
I wasn't gonna bring it up until after we found Violet,
but we're right to be suspicious.
I got Jamie's DNA test results back.
Inconclusive.
- Do we tell her? - No.
We need to get real answers
about Jamie's identity before we tell Margaret.
And that's all I'm trying to do for Bernie
get real answers.
Gabi, we can't help him if we don't know the truth.
Ok. I'll get the truth.
Where is everyone?
Out in the field.
That's what happens when we work a case.
So you didn't ask them to give us space?
Because yet again, gabi is nowhere to be found.
Gabi's just always on the move.
I mean, that's just how she operates.
Is that her superpower?
Moving fast, thinking on the go?
You all have a thing.
You... you noticed that.
You learn to observe things when you were raised the way
I was over the last 13 years.
What do you mean?
Well, dhan's clearly not afraid to get his hands dirty.
You know, law and rules mean nothing to him.
Lacey's the legal brain.
Zeke's the hacker.
And you have vision thing.
I'm just hyper observant.
I don't remember that from before.
Well, I developed it over time, looking for you.
And now it's just always there.
Have you done it on me?
Sometimes it just kicks in before I can stop it.
What did you see?
Just my son.
I need a cigarette.
Alone. I just... I need a break.
He'll come back.
Look, it's been 12 hours.
How do you not have an update?
What color shoes was Jamie wearing?
- The cops want to know. - What
i-i-i-i think they were his
the... the blue ones with the star.
Those are his favorite. He always wears them.
No, he doesn't.
I'll... I'll... I'll call you right back.
He was wearing those new red shoes today.
They match his shirt.
Thank you, Taylor.
Details like those are going to save your brother's life.
Let's go back to bed.
I thought your sight made cooking impossible.
I see in other ways now.
I made your favorite:
Red beans and rice.
Bernie, we need to talk.
Where do you want to start?
Last month's 911 call.
You were breaking things.
Violet was petrified.
They were dishes.
I was breaking dishes.
Violet tried to replace some bowls that Maria bought
because they were chipped.
Now, I-I-I couldn't stand by and watch her erase my wife,
not after she took her away from me.
Bernie, you have to stop saying that.
Violet was only doing what Maria asked of her.
She wouldn't want you to punish Violet for that.
What about what I wanted?
I spent my life serving god
and never asking for anything in return,
not even when he took my sight.
But then Maria got sick.
The one time I needed god, and he abandoned me.
She's gone.
I-I can't even feel her anymore.
Maria's just gone.
I can't feel my father anymore either.
And you know who I blame for it all?
Sir.
I was so furious at him
when my father passed away that I snapped.
So if you're trying to tell me
that you reached your breaking point,
I've been there.
We can fix it together.
That's why you waited when you came home earlier.
You were trying to work up the courage to confront me.
What do you mean earlier?
Well, I heard you in that locked room.
I haven't been home all day.
If it wasn't you, then who was it?
So this is where you honor them.
It's a private room.
Almost no one knows about it except Margaret.
So how would the person who broke in know it was here?
The person is Christian.
He broke in once before.
He probably found it then.
I will have the fingerprints analyzed,
but it... it has to be him.
Who else would send such an obvious death threat?
I don't know what to think.
Bernie isn't the person that I remember.
So maybe I'm wrong about Christian too.
Hello.
Yeah. Yeah.
I'm sorry.
We found the dump truck that was at Bernie's apartment
this morning.
There was a shirt in it covered with Violet's blood.
Judge issued an arrest warrant.
I have to bring Bernie in.
You still don't think it's him, do you?
Between the missing mole and the inconclusive DNA results,
it's not looking good.
It'll crush Margaret if he's not her son.
Then maybe you should get your facts straight before you
- say anything to her. - Jamie, we didn't
if you really wanted answers about my identity,
you could have asked.
You don't think we tried?
The mole, I had it lasered off when I was 10.
And as for the DNA test,
you'll have a better read on that
than on a stolen piece of old pizza.
Thank you for meeting me.
- You find anything? - Well, we've got
some scuff marks here from hard-soled shoes,
but Bernie and Violet put their shoes at the entrance.
So if Bernie was part of the altercation
he'd have been barefoot.
Bernie was telling the truth.
You were doubting him, weren't you?
Doubting him, doubting myself.
Ever since sir took away my chance at penance,
feels like something inside me broke.
Do you know why I've been keeping my distance?
Because your instincts are always right.
And I'm afraid of what they're telling you about my son.
- Margaret... - I'm not ready to hear it.
I can't lose him again.
All I'm saying is,
your instincts are your superpower.
They're not broken.
Trust yourself.
- So help me... - No comment.
Bring our sister Violet home.
What the hell, gabi?
We've been flooded with calls from people
demanding Bernie's release.
What happened to he's not the man you remember?
He's still the pastor who saved my life.
And you still don't have a body.
We are looking at landfills now.
Come on, Trent.
Do you really think Bernie did this?
It doesn't matter what I think.
What matters is evidence.
And before you start in on me about Christian,
we ran the prints.
They were his.
So don't try and talk me into believing he is a good guy too.
I never said Christian was a good guy,
just not a cold-blooded psychopath
stupid enough to escalate things with the dcpd.
He had to know what you would do
if he threatened me with that photo.
It's almost as if
Trent, what if that photo wasn't a threat on my life
but a threat on his?
The real accomplice is setting Christian up.
What officer isn't primed to shoot Christian on sight?
Gabi, where are you going?
To get proof.
Gabrielle.
It's about time.
I'm only here for one reason.
No apologies necessary.
I'm not mad at your betrayal.
We are family. Families forgive.
We are not family.
But I am here to find yours.
Where's Christian?
I'll admit, I'm surprised to hear
you're not more grateful I kept you out of prison.
Gratitude isn't something I'll ever give you.
I don't care about your silly games anymore.
I won't engage.
All I need are answers about Christian.
M&a has a case
a personal one, I can always tell.
Plus, the guards here like to talk.
They saw the press conference.
I'm willing to help.
Is that why you lied?
You think I will work cases with you?
You have no control over me anymore.
And yet here you are.
Of the two of us, you're the one who walked in willingly.
I am only here because your brother's life is at stake.
Whatever animosity you have toward him,
I know you don't want him dead.
Perhaps we can come to an arrangement.
If you tell me about the case, I'll tell you about Christian.
I don't need your help finding Violet.
What evidence did heavy boots have
to arrest your friend Bernie?
Where are Christian's old haunts?
Where did Violet spend her time?
Stubbornness is unbecoming.
All right, wait, wait. Fine. Wait.
You need an address to Christian's hiding places.
I need a copy of "the taming of the shrew."
- Why? - What does it matter?
It's one book.
And I give you my brother.
No, thanks.
I'll find him and Violet without you.
Gabrielle.
Gabrielle!
You believe in Bernie's innocence,
so find out who else was as angry at Violet
as Bernie was.
Find them, find her.
Taylor asked if you could read her a bedtime story.
How could I forget the color of his shoes?
If... if I forgot what he was wearing, what else did I miss?
Honey, the girls are inconsolable.
- They need you. - No.
No. No, Jamie needs me.
Honey, just tell them... tell... tell them
that I'm not feeling well.
Right.
What are you doing?
Where did Jamie get this?
I don't know.
Why are you going through his stuff?
I was actually covering him up when it fell out.
Did he take this brooch from the crime scene?
Jamie wouldn't steal.
Check the other pocket.
You told me to trust my instincts.
This is ridiculous.
What is it?
Nothing.
- It's mine. - What's going on?
Did you take this brooch from the crime scene?
My god. Why would you do that?
I didn't think the lady would miss it.
Wait.
This doesn't look like something
that Violet would wear.
She dresses much younger than that.
But i-I've seen it before.
There.
That's Ms. Pearl.
I know her.
But why would she... of course.
Margaret, we gotta go.
Does this look familiar?
You were at Bernie's house last night, weren't you?
I just wanted to talk to her.
I needed Violet to understand
what her actions cost the church.
She's responsible for Bernie leaving us.
She took Maria off life support, and that broke him.
She played god and ruined everything.
- Where is she, Ms. Pearl? - I don't know.
She didn't like what I had to say.
And she lunged at me, and I swear,
I just pushed her away to protect myself.
And she... she fell into the cabinet
and... and cut her arm.
And then Violet followed me into the garage,
screaming at me, she knew it was all her fault
and that she didn't need me piling on.
I left after that, and I never saw her again.
Why didn't you let us know sooner?
You let Bernie take the fall.
I was so embarrassed.
I thought Violet had just wandered off
and... and she would return and,
and make everything right.
She's telling the truth.
Violet has been punishing herself
for a year over her decision to let Maria die.
Running away would be like freedom from her pain.
So would ending her life.
She wanted to pay.
That's why she was putting up with Bernie's rage,
why she turned down Leonard's proposal.
The fight with Ms. Pearl must have been
the last straw in the guilt she was already carrying.
She needed penance. She needed forgiveness.
Wouldn't she go to a church for that?
I know where she is.
Violet?
Gabi.
What are you doing here?
Bernie is looking for you.
He sent me to find you.
We need to have that looked at, ok?
You're hurt.
I can't leave, not until I know I'm forgiven.
You have nothing to be forgiven for.
I should have listened to Bernie.
I should have waited.
Maria put her life in your hands
because she trusted you to make the decisions
that Bernie couldn't.
She didn't want to hold on to this world
when god called her home.
It was her time.
You respected her wishes.
But Ms. Pearl said.
I'm Margaret.
I know a thing or two about holding on to guilt
that isn't yours and the damage it can do.
Ms. Pearl was wrong.
Bernie was wrong.
Everyone who judged you for the brave decision you made
was wrong.
We know that sometimes it's...
Easier to punish ourselves than to let go.
Maria wouldn't want that for you.
It's time for you to forgive yourself.
Can you do that for Maria?
Bernie.
They told me what happened.
I am so sorry for everything.
No, I'm the one who should apologize.
I never should have blamed you for my pain.
It was Maria's time to go.
Leonard.
Thank you, gabi, for not giving up on Violet
and for not giving up on me.
I knew where she was
because I used to go to that private prayer room down there.
There was a time when your faith
was the only thing to bring me back from a dark place.
I know you're in that dark place now, Bernie.
But you belong here in this church with a god
who can carry you through the pain.
I thought you didn't believe in god.
I believe in your belief.
Let yourself come back to your spiritual home.
No more self-punishment.
I feel her... Maria.
I feel her here.
You'll feel your father again, too,
once you just let go.
Welcome home.
Can I have one?
Kidding.
I just wanted to say sorry.
I shouldn't have taken the brooch.
It did break our case wide open.
And at m&a, we save lives by any means necessary.
All good.
We should get going now.
Speaking of forgiveness, you should take your own advice.
I know you're not serving penance in the way
that you wanted, but there are other ways.
The found wall heals a piece of us every time.
You didn't get to experience that last year
because of your secret, but you're free now.
Let it do for you what it's done for us.
Everything ok?
Trent found Christian.
Can I help?
Thank you.
Hey, babe, you disappeared.
I was worried.
What are you doing here?
I need to be part of the details
that save Jamie's life too.
Give me half.
Ok.
You're popular today.
Some people were willing to negotiate for information.
That's how Trent found Christian.
I assume my dear brother was hiding
in his favorite rooftop garden like a coward,
like he did when we were children.
Well, I suppose he'll be joining me here.
He's dead.
We were too late.
Christian had already taken his own life.
Well, you're probably wondering
if he'd still be alive if you'd given me the book.
But, Gabrielle, I know you.
I don't want you to carry this.
I'm not doing this anymore.
You can play all the games you want,
negotiate with whoever you want.
But I am done.
You will rot in here, and I will heal out there.
I told you.
You no longer have power over me.
Goodbye, Hugh.
It's finally over.
It will never be over between us.
We are connected!
We are family!
Margaret, are you ok?
You trusted your instincts today.
I need to trust mine.
This was... this was Jamie's favorite toy,
and it was in his room the day that he went missing.
But several days later, after he was kidnapped,
it disappeared.
And I thought... I thought one of the girls took it.
And I was so angry.
I just... I said horrible things to them.
But the train never reappeared
until today, when I found it in Jamie's pocket.
How is this possible?
Margaret, what are you saying?
The kidnapper was in my house
after Jamie was taken.
It means I know them.
It... it... it means that it had to be somebody
close to the family, somebody that I trusted.
I have to know, gabi.
You have to find them, please.
Gabi, help me find who took my son.
I promise you I will.
I will find them if it's the last thing I do.
Greg, move your head.
