00:01:10Mooji
00:01:22Don't touch that gun! Don't touch it!
00:01:26What is this? What's going on?
00:01:28Don't break it, please!
00:01:29Do you see me moving?
00:01:30Come on.
00:01:31Lorenzo! Lorenzo!
00:01:32Lorenzo!
00:01:32Come on.
00:01:40Now?
00:01:52What's this?
00:02:09Your new wife.
00:02:20Teresa.
00:02:22Allison.
00:02:25Sorry, Nick.
00:02:33You really think you can protect me?
00:02:36I haven't lost one yet.
00:02:37I haven't lost him.
00:02:45No.
00:02:50But this is who's hanging out.
00:02:55Well, it's not bad, Joanna, but it's home.
00:03:25Hello?
00:03:41Hello?
00:03:43Theresa, what are you?
00:03:50We got this, right?
00:04:15Hey, it's you and me.
00:04:20Mom, I'm home.
00:04:37Mom?
00:04:43Mom?
00:04:45I didn't hear you come in.
00:05:00I didn't hear you come in.
00:05:12Are we going somewhere?
00:05:15Actually, I need to talk to you.
00:05:19Let's go sit.
00:05:20Dinner should be ready soon.
00:05:22You said you wanted to talk?
00:05:37I have to go away for a few days.
00:05:41You'll be all right on your own, won't you?
00:05:44Sure, but what's going on?
00:05:46Where are you going?
00:05:48I have to go home, back where I grew up.
00:05:54Your grandmother is in the hospital.
00:06:00Wait, what?
00:06:01She's very sick and may not have much longer.
00:06:04You mean Grandma Sophia.
00:06:06Didn't she die like a long time ago before I was born?
00:06:09That's what I told you.
00:06:11So my grandmother is still alive.
00:06:12I thought I was doing the right thing at the time.
00:06:14What?
00:06:15Why?
00:06:16I'm sorry I lied, but I wanted to protect you.
00:06:20To protect me from my own grandmother.
00:06:23How?
00:06:24It's more complicated than that.
00:06:26Complicated how?
00:06:28Okay, well why can't you explain it to me?
00:06:30Just tell me the truth.
00:06:32You have a right to know the truth.
00:06:34But not now.
00:06:35Not yet.
00:06:36Why?
00:06:39I need to finish packing.
00:06:41When do you leave?
00:06:43Early tomorrow.
00:06:46I'll be gone and back before you know it.
00:06:54Have a good trip I guess.
00:07:09Bye baby.
00:07:11Bye mom.
00:07:17Bye.
00:07:24I have to remind you that this trip goes against the advice of the Federal Martial Service.
00:07:43I am well aware.
00:07:45I know the risks.
00:07:49They play in my head on a loop.
00:07:51You know there's some things in life you just have to do.
00:07:54I owe this to my mother.
00:07:56Your mother wouldn't want you to risk your life to see her.
00:08:00Theresa.
00:08:01Don't do this.
00:08:06If anything should happen to me.
00:08:08Your daughter will be taken care of.
00:08:21My friend.
00:08:23As many of others.
00:08:25It's all about you.
00:08:26Your kids.
00:08:29You know me?
00:08:30I know you.
00:08:31Thanks a lot.
00:08:32God answers.
00:08:33You'reomme 4.
00:08:34Household.
00:08:35given you.
00:08:36Let me know you're dando conversation.
00:08:38It'd be upgradeable.
00:08:39Can you imagine it?
00:08:40Can't you imagine?
00:08:41We'll find out 시작.
00:08:42Do this.
00:08:43Do that.
00:08:44When did that corps.
00:10:15We'll get right back to you.
00:10:17Mom, it's me.
00:10:18I haven't heard from you and I'm starting to get really worried.
00:10:21Please call me back.
00:10:22Who are you?
00:10:45Greg Carter, U.S. Marshal's Service.
00:10:49Can I come in?
00:10:56I saw you before.
00:10:58What do you want with my mom?
00:10:59Is she in trouble?
00:11:02I'm actually here to talk to you.
00:11:05It's about your mother, but it would be better if I could come inside.
00:11:09You can keep the door open if you want.
00:11:10I was about to make some coffee.
00:11:26Do you want some?
00:11:27Sure.
00:11:28Thanks.
00:11:28So you said you're a U.S. Marshal.
00:11:34That's right.
00:11:42So what is it?
00:11:45It's about your mother.
00:11:46Yeah, you already said that.
00:11:47Did something happen?
00:11:52She was found last night.
00:11:56Authorities are saying it's a homicide.
00:12:01What?
00:12:01I'm sorry.
00:12:11She's dead?
00:12:13Someone found her at the hospital after she had visited your grandmother.
00:12:17She had asphyxiated.
00:12:21Why is the one that's after her?
00:12:26I know this is a shock to you all since.
00:12:28No.
00:12:29Let me.
00:12:31I don't know how much she told you about her past
00:12:35and her involvement with the Marshal's office.
00:12:40Her what?
00:12:42I...
00:12:42I can't.
00:12:49I don't want to hear this right now.
00:12:51This affects you too.
00:12:54My mom is gone.
00:12:58I don't care about anything else.
00:13:01For when you're ready to talk.
00:13:11Please just go.
00:13:19Get out.
00:13:19I don't care about anything else.
00:13:21I don't care about anything else.
00:13:22I don't care about anything else.
00:13:23I don't care about anything else.
00:13:24I don't care about anything else.
00:13:25I don't care about anything else.
00:13:26I don't care about anything else.
00:13:27I don't care about anything else.
00:13:28I don't care about anything else.
00:13:29I don't care about anything else.
00:13:30I don't care about anything else.
00:13:31I don't care about anything else.
00:13:32I don't care about anything else.
00:13:33I don't care about anything else.
00:13:34I don't care about anything else.
00:13:35I don't care about anything else.
00:13:36I don't care about anything else.
00:13:37I don't care about anything else.
00:13:38I don't care about anything else.
00:13:39I don't care about anything else.
00:13:40I don't care about anything else.
00:13:41How can you leave me feeling so strong?
00:14:11I still need you.
00:14:26So, what is this?
00:14:39How can you leave me feeling so strong?
00:14:55How can you leave me feeling so strong?
00:15:11How can you leave me feeling so strong?
00:15:23Four Valley Plain teens were involved in a two-car accident on Friday, leaving one passenger dead and another paralyzed.
00:15:31Track star Teresa Russo was hospitalized with several broken bones while her friend Jaclyn Armstrong was admitted with a concussion and severe facial acerations.
00:15:41Teresa Russo?
00:15:43Teresa Russo?
00:15:47Teresa Russo?
00:15:49Teresa Russo?
00:18:27It's weird, right? The timing?
00:18:29It could be a regular robbery, Tim.
00:18:31Or it could have something to do with your mom.
00:18:34How?
00:18:34I guess Teresa didn't mention the witness protection program.
00:18:39A mom was in the witness protection program?
00:18:41She was. So were you, by default. Until now.
00:18:44Until she died, you mean?
00:18:46Until she died, you mean?
00:18:47Someone very dangerous has been after your mom for the past 21 years.
00:18:52Last week, when she went to her hometown.
00:18:54They found her and they killed her.
00:19:01So, so you know who did it. You can arrest them.
00:19:04It could have been possible leads, but we need something concrete to be able to bring our case to the U.S. Attorney.
00:19:09Elna, I'm concerned about your safety.
00:19:12Especially after everything that happened today.
00:19:14I think we should find a place for you to move to.
00:19:16What?
00:19:16But no, I just lost my mom. This place is the only thing I have left.
00:19:22Please, consider this. When you're ready, we can set you up with a new identity.
00:19:26Like you did for my mom?
00:19:28Didn't work out so well for her.
00:19:34All right. Keep the door bolted shut. Make sure the windows are all locked. Don't let anyone in.
00:19:42You're leaving?
00:19:43I have to. I'm sorry.
00:19:44But I have more questions.
00:19:48Do you know Harper Park?
00:19:51Why don't you meet me there at noon tomorrow?
00:19:53I'll bring your mother's file.
00:19:54And I'll post the car over to watch the house tonight.
00:19:58I'll be there.
00:20:14You got ketchup on your tie?
00:20:34Oh, shoot.
00:20:40As promised, copy of your mother's witness protection file.
00:20:51If there's not much here.
00:20:53Yeah.
00:20:54Because her case is still open, some of the files are classified.
00:20:57What about my dad?
00:21:02Is he in here?
00:21:03Is he in here?
00:21:12Lorenzo Bruno.
00:21:16This is him?
00:21:16Yes.
00:21:24Is there a photo?
00:21:32Is that him with my mom?
00:21:33Wait.
00:21:34Are you telling me that my mom entered witness protection because she testified against my father?
00:21:43They were dating at the time.
00:21:44By all accounts, he was volatile.
00:21:46Your mom did a brave thing by testifying against him.
00:21:49Not a good guy.
00:21:50At least back then.
00:21:52He was caught up with a lot of dangerous people.
00:21:54And now?
00:21:55He's allegedly cleaned himself up over the last several years.
00:21:59Who knows?
00:22:00Maybe he's finally straightened out his life.
00:22:02So he's out of prison.
00:22:05Do you think he's the one that killed my mom?
00:22:08He's on the suspect list.
00:22:10Along with who?
00:22:11The other defendant.
00:22:14Here's a photo.
00:22:17Frank Stefano.
00:22:19Notorious kingpin of the criminal operation he and Lorenzo were running back then.
00:22:23He looks mean.
00:22:25Your mom helped put him away too.
00:22:27Damn, mom.
00:22:29Yeah, he's still doing time.
00:22:30But he has others who will do his dirty work for him.
00:22:32Have you talked to any of them?
00:22:35Like I said before, we're working all leads.
00:22:38It's not always straightforward.
00:22:39My team faces a lot of red tape.
00:22:43Have you given any more thought to my offer?
00:22:50Sorry.
00:22:52I can't do this right now.
00:22:56I put a form in there.
00:22:59Take a look at it whenever you're ready.
00:23:02All you'd have to do is sign if you decide you want to take the offer.
00:23:04What the hell?
00:23:24It's okay.
00:23:24It's okay.
00:24:55I have to help.
00:24:57Are you OK?
00:24:58I'm almost here.
00:24:59Don't touch, Annie.
00:25:00I'm on my way.
00:25:01I'm on my way.
00:25:02I'm on my way.
00:25:04I'm on my way.
00:25:06I'm on my way.
00:25:08I'm on my way.
00:25:10How are you holding out?
00:25:32You've reconsidered my offer.
00:25:33I think you'll realize it's the right decision.
00:25:45This is Teresa's signature.
00:25:47Yeah.
00:25:48She signed it and look where it got her.
00:25:50I'm not going to make the same mistake.
00:25:52The program works.
00:25:54Now what happened to Teresa shouldn't have happened,
00:25:55but it was because she left the witness protection program to return to her old life.
00:25:59One time.
00:26:00She left once to visit her own mother after 21 years.
00:26:06You should have found a way to keep her safe.
00:26:12You're right.
00:26:17I do agree with you on one thing.
00:26:20Whoever was after my mom seems to be coming after me.
00:26:24I can't stay here.
00:26:26So what's your plan?
00:26:28Visit my grandmother before it's too late.
00:26:32You're going to New Jersey?
00:26:33Tomorrow.
00:26:34I bought a plane ticket.
00:26:35I can't stress to you how bad of an idea that is.
00:26:38You'll be walking straight into the lion's den.
00:26:40I've already thought it through.
00:26:42No one there knows me.
00:26:44And besides, nobody's going to expect Teresa Russo's daughter to suddenly show up in town.
00:26:48Clearly somebody knows you well enough to be targeting you.
00:26:50I can't keep you safe.
00:26:51Do you understand that?
00:26:52I just...
00:26:53I have to do this.
00:26:57I need to know who my mother was.
00:26:59And while I'm there, I'm going to find her killer.
00:27:03I'm not bound by red tape like you.
00:27:05There are people almost done.
00:27:14I need a pack.
00:27:17Will you let me drive you to the airport tomorrow?

00:31:57Thank you. I couldn't believe it when you called.
00:32:02Yeah, but now that you're here, you have to tell me everything about Teresa. I mean, God rest her.
00:32:07We were inseparable growing up. We always had big plans to get out of this town, but of course, Teresa was the one to finally do it.
00:32:17I also wondered where she went. I felt like she fell off the face of the earth.
00:32:22Oh, we've been in Ohio. Ohio? Why would she go there?
00:32:28I don't think she had much of a choice.
00:32:30Mom was in witness protection because of something that happened before I was born.
00:32:40I didn't even know about any of this until she died.
00:32:45Wait a sec.
00:32:47Is this because of that trial where she testified?
00:32:50Yeah.
00:32:51Oh, that's crazy. You mean you didn't know anything about your family or your mother's last name or any stuff like that?
00:32:59I've never even met my grandmother.
00:33:00Oh.
00:33:02I hear she's not doing too well.
00:33:06Sweet Sophia.
00:33:08I heard she's over at Greenpoint Hospital.
00:33:11We can go visit her if you'd like.
00:33:15What's the matter?
00:33:16It just hit me all of a sudden that she's so close.
00:33:26I get it.
00:33:28It's a lot to take in.
00:33:30I'll tell you what.
00:33:31Why don't you finish eating and then I'll show you to your room.
00:33:34You can get some rest and we can talk more in the morning.
00:33:37Thank you for everything, Jackie.
00:33:40Are you kidding?
00:33:42There's nothing I wouldn't do for Teresa.
00:33:44Hey, it's good.
00:33:51I'll make you feel good.
00:33:52It makes me feel good.
00:34:12Hey.
00:34:12You okay?
00:34:17I'm just starting to realize that to my grandmother, I'm a complete stranger and I know she's really sick.
00:34:23What if my going in there just gives her a shock so bad that it'll kill her?
00:34:28Oh, honey, Sophia's a tough one.
00:34:32I think she'll be overjoyed to see you.
00:34:35No.
00:34:36No, I can't do this.
00:34:40It's okay.
00:34:43If you're not ready now, we can come back another time.
00:34:46Okay?
00:34:48Okay.
00:34:48Okay.
00:34:49Let's go.
00:34:50Come on.
00:34:50It's okay.
00:34:51I'm sorry.
00:34:52Oh, man.
00:34:53It's okay.
00:34:54We'll come back another time.
00:34:55Where are we?
00:35:07It's your grandmother's house.
00:35:09It's where your mom grew up.
00:35:11Oh.
00:35:11There's that picture of you and my mom standing on the llama's teenagers.
00:35:14Mm-hmm.
00:35:15So who lives there now?
00:35:18Oh, Sophia still owns it, but I don't think anyone's staying there while she's in the hospital.
00:35:26Come on.
00:35:30Where are you going?
00:35:31I don't think we should be here.
00:35:50Don't worry.
00:35:52Sophia used to keep a spare key hidden out here.
00:35:56Are you crazy?
00:35:58Relax.
00:35:58I think if you could see inside the house, it would help you get to know your grandmother.
00:36:05Then you might feel more comfortable visiting her.
00:36:08Okay?
00:36:14He's got to be here somewhere.
00:36:21Oh.
00:36:23Oh.
00:36:26Oh.
00:36:27Hey, there.
00:36:28Jackie.
00:36:32What?
00:36:33Someone's been feeding the cat.
00:36:39It's fine.
00:36:40Don't worry so much.
00:36:43Jackie?
00:36:43You're right.
00:36:51You're right.
00:36:53We should leave.
00:36:58Let's go.
00:36:59Let's go.
00:36:59I'm trying to avoid breaking and entering here.
00:37:21Can't you help?
00:37:22I'm not sure what you want me to do.
00:37:23There's got to be a way to remotely access someone's recorded video footage.
00:37:27I figured you feds.
00:37:28I figured you feds must know how to do that.
00:37:30Elena, you need to stay away from that house.
00:37:32I know.
00:37:33That's why I'm trying to do this remotely.
00:37:35Forget about that for a minute.
00:37:36This is dangerous.
00:37:37Anyone could be waiting for you there.
00:37:38No one has a clue I'm here.
00:37:40Don't be naive, Elena.
00:37:41Someone broke into your house.
00:37:42It's possible.
00:37:43Even likely, they know where you are.
00:37:45Look, if you're telling me that there's not a way to remotely access those cameras,
00:37:48then I'll just have to go in there to see for myself.
00:37:50No, that's not what I'm saying.
00:37:52Don't you get it?
00:37:53This is my mom's childhood home.
00:37:55For all we know, she went there that last day,
00:37:57and that footage could tell us if anyone was with her.
00:38:00I hear what you're saying.
00:38:01But there's an official way these things should be done.
00:38:03You and your red tape.
00:38:06Elena.
00:38:06Come in.
00:38:30You doing okay?
00:38:32Yeah.
00:38:32That was a great day.
00:38:37We ditched our last class and went to the movies.
00:38:41We snuck into Dangerous Minds and ate our weight in candy.
00:38:47Can I ask you something?
00:38:49Shoot.
00:38:51I was thinking, and you were right,
00:38:53it would be good for me to get inside my grandmother's house.
00:38:56I do want to try to get to know who she is.
00:38:59Is there any way you might know of another way in?
00:39:02I don't know.
00:39:03I didn't realize before that there would be cameras.
00:39:06Yeah, but the cameras could be a lot of help to us.
00:39:09Maybe they picked up something that could show me what happened to my mom.
00:39:12Like someone following her?
00:39:14I do know of one other way through a basement window.
00:39:19At least that's what we used to use back in the day.
00:39:23It isn't locked.
00:39:26The latch was busted back then.
00:39:28I used to help Teresa sneak through there whenever we'd be out past curfew.
00:39:32Could be worth a shot.
00:39:35Can I borrow your car?
00:39:37Ugh.
00:39:38Keys are hanging by the door.
00:39:40Don't tell me when you leave.
00:39:41I don't need to know anything about it.
00:39:44I don't need to know anything about it.
00:41:45I can't believe you're here.
00:41:56Thanks for bailing me out.
00:41:58Aren't you going to say something?
00:42:03For God's sake, can you just say something already?
00:42:05You need me to tell you how reckless that stunt was that you pulled?
00:42:08I wouldn't call that a stunt.
00:42:10How it cost you whatever anonymity you had and revealed your blatant lack of concern not only for yourself, but also for your friend Jacqueline and for me.
00:42:17I'm sorry.
00:42:20You're not my only case, you know, but you're the only one I have to drop everything for to get on a flight to New Jersey.
00:42:24I'm not your case at all.
00:42:26I left the program, remember?
00:42:27I remember.
00:42:28I made a promise to your mother to always look out for you.
00:42:42So here I am.
00:42:43I'm driving you back to Jackal's for the night.
00:42:48I'm driving you back to Jackal's for the night.
00:42:48Oh, my God.
00:43:18Mike?
00:43:48Is that hair? Is that my mom's hair?
00:43:56Change of plans. If you're leaving with me, we'll get the next flight home.
00:44:00But I'm not leaving.
00:44:02There's been two obvious threats made against you. Three if you count that person lurking around your front door.
00:44:06You just got arrested and you're staying with a woman you barely know.
00:44:08My mom knew her. That's enough for me.
00:44:10Your mother also knew killers.
00:44:14I'm sorry. I'm just worried about you.
00:44:17I want you to come back with me now so we can arrange a fresh start.
00:44:21And I want to go back inside.
00:44:47Sorry for trying to quit, but I just get so nervous with these suits.
00:44:59The house is clear.
00:45:06Good. Now will you tell me what's going on?
00:45:08Show her the note.
00:45:09What note?
00:45:09It's confidential evidence.
00:45:11I'd still feel better if you'd come with me.
00:45:13Oh, no, no, no.
00:45:15Elena's on her own journey.
00:45:16She needs answers.
00:45:17I'm sorry for what happened today.
00:45:19And I apologize for bringing you all the way out here.
00:45:21I realized I haven't been going about things the right way, but I do need more time.
00:45:27What about tonight?
00:45:28We'll lock all the doors and the windows and won't let anybody in.
00:45:31Good plan.
00:45:32Do you have a couch I could crash on?
00:45:34Sure.
00:45:36You're going to sleep here.
00:45:37You need a toothbrush or anything?
00:45:39I have what I need.
00:45:40You got me out here.
00:45:41I have to make sure you stay safe.
00:45:43I'll make us dinner.
00:45:48Sounds great.
00:45:49I'll help you.
00:45:50Okay, why don't you go get settled?
00:46:02Jackie, with everything that's going on, I completely understand if you don't want me staying here.
00:46:09I'll leave anytime.
00:46:10Absolutely not.
00:46:11I meant it when I said I wanted to help.
00:46:14Anything for Teresa's daughter.
00:46:18When I went to my grandmother's house, I found something that I want to show you.
00:46:27Do you know who this is?
00:46:29That's Lorenzo Bruno.
00:46:31You're my father.
00:46:37He and my mom had a confrontation the day she died.
00:46:40I think he had something to do with her death.
00:46:42I think that he's wanted revenge ever since my mom testified against him.
00:46:47What do you know about the trial?
00:46:48Oh, well, I was there.
00:46:50Well, I was there.
00:46:54Your mother was the star witness for the prosecution.
00:46:57The jury found her sympathetic because she was emotional and physically pregnant.
00:47:02Hey, you know what?
00:47:05Technically, you were there, too.
00:47:09Carter says that maybe Lorenzo's changed after all these years.
00:47:11Do you think that could be true?
00:47:14Honestly?
00:47:16I think you can change the suit, but not the man.
00:47:22Ready?
00:47:22Okay.
00:47:44Okay.
00:47:44Okay.
00:47:45I don't know.
00:48:15I don't know.
00:48:45I don't know.
00:48:47It's lonely.
00:48:48Which is it, freeze or stand up?
00:48:50I'm sorry.
00:48:51I was sleeping pretty hard.
00:48:52I thought someone broke in.
00:48:56Let me have one of those.
00:49:08So, I was doing some research online and came across Lorenzo's company.
00:49:12They're real estate developers and it looks like they're hiring.
00:49:15So I thought I'd apply, see if I can get an interview, and guess what?
00:49:18You did.
00:49:19Interview is tomorrow.
00:49:21Are you nuts?
00:49:22I thought you might want to give me a ride.
00:49:23No.
00:49:24This is a terrible plan.
00:49:25It invites trouble to find you.
00:49:27Look, I'm doing what I can to keep you safe.
00:49:29But every minute you're out of the program, your life is on the line.
00:49:32Look.
00:49:34Is that Lorenzo?
00:49:35Yeah.
00:49:36He was at my grandmother's house harassing my mom the day she was killed.
00:49:40You need evidence, right?
00:49:41Something to prove it was him?
00:49:43Well, all I'd have to do is gain access to his office, take a peek at his schedule,
00:49:47maybe his location history on his phone.
00:49:48That way, we could at least prove whether or not he was at the hospital during that time.
00:49:53Stop shaking your head.
00:49:55I wish I could get past this, but I can't.
00:50:01My mom was all I had.
00:50:03After she died, I found out that everything I knew was a lie.
00:50:07I need to find out the truth.
00:50:09Maybe we can work together.
00:50:15But you have to be careful.
00:50:17Don't take any unnecessary risks.
00:50:18Can you promise me that?
00:50:19Yes.
00:50:19I'm feeling any good.
00:50:24Trust it.
00:50:27I don't give you a ride.
00:50:28What if it did?
00:50:40Yeah.
00:50:41are you looking for the receptionist yeah she should be right back thanks

00:57:25what the hell?
00:57:48Is that me?
00:57:55What is that?
00:58:15Don't make the same mistake your mommy
00:58:18I saw him
00:58:19I saw him
00:58:20I was taking the trash
00:58:22And I saw the bastard that threw it
00:58:25And I chased him down the street
00:58:26But he jumped the fence and I lost him
00:58:28Did you see his face?
00:58:29No, he had a hoodie he pulled up
00:58:30What's that?
00:58:34You're assuming you're a new job
00:58:36But that disguise isn't pulling anyone
00:58:38Time to move, we need to leave
00:58:40Leave? What? No, what about Jackie?
00:58:42Don't worry about me
00:58:43Got a check, you made a promise
00:58:45Jackie, I know
00:58:46The most important thing is your safety
00:58:47Just go, I'll be fine
00:58:49Grab what you need for work tomorrow
00:58:50We'll come back for the rest of your stuff later
00:58:52Go
00:58:53Things are getting worse
00:59:10That brick is the last straw
00:59:13We'll get rooms at this motel for now
00:59:15But we don't have a lot of time
00:59:16I need to identify this threat and take it out
00:59:18Don't you think if this person wanted to kill me
00:59:20They would have done it already?
00:59:21That the theory you're willing to stake your life on?
00:59:23Well, I'm
00:59:24Psychopaths are like cats
00:59:25Some like to play with their prey
00:59:27Before they make their kill
00:59:28No, it's a psychopath
00:59:29I'm no profiler
00:59:30But just look at the facts
00:59:31Those little notes
00:59:32Pure egocentrism
00:59:34Aggressive arrogance
00:59:35Impulsivity
00:59:36It's obviously Lorenzo
00:59:37We don't know that for sure
00:59:39I just hate that I have to leave Jackie like that
00:59:44Jackie will be fine
00:59:45You're the one they're after
00:59:46If you're out of the house
00:59:47Jackie won't be in danger anymore
00:59:49Maybe this will finally convince you
00:59:52Not to let your guard down with new people
00:59:53Let my guard down?
00:59:55Giving your number to strangers
00:59:56Like that girl at the hospital
00:59:57She wasn't a stranger
00:59:58I met her at work
00:59:59You didn't think to mention that coincidence before?
01:00:04A girl from Lorenzo's office
01:00:05Just happened to be at the hospital
01:00:06Same time as you?
01:00:07You really think they could both be involved?
01:00:09Yes
01:00:10In order for me to keep you safe
01:00:12I need you to not tell anyone
01:00:13Not Jackie
01:00:14Not that girl from work
01:00:16Where you'll be staying
01:00:17Do you understand that?
01:00:18Yes
01:00:19I need you to cut off contact
01:00:22With both of them completely
01:00:23Only until we figure out who's behind us
01:00:26Deal?
01:00:33Fine
01:00:33No come on
01:00:36Let's go get some rooms
01:00:38I need you to cut off
01:01:08Let's have a party
01:01:28Let's have a party
01:01:28I need you to cut off
01:01:32Let's see
01:01:32Let's have a party
01:02:03Okay, Callagher, come on.
01:02:12Yes, 415 train to New Jersey, gotcha.
01:02:25And if you get in the bind, you can call me.
01:02:27Don't worry, I can handle it.
01:02:31Just doing my rounds.
01:02:33You're new here, aren't you?
01:02:35Uh, this is Elena.
01:02:38She started in the mailroom last week.
01:02:40I try to make a point of meeting all new hires.
01:02:43I'd like to know who I have working for me.
01:02:46How nice.
01:02:47I usually ask my assistant to schedule new employees for a meet and greet with me.
01:02:51I apologize that we have seemed to have overlooked that.
01:02:54But we'll correct that now.
01:02:55Portia, will you block out some time this week for me to meet with Elena here?
01:02:58You can do Thursday.
01:03:00Thursday it is.
01:03:02See you then.
01:03:03See you.
01:03:06Hey, what's up?
01:03:07I texted you earlier.
01:03:09Sorry, I'm really busy.
01:03:11Are you okay?
01:03:18Hey.
01:03:19Yeah.
01:03:20I just wasn't expecting that.
01:03:23I should have warned you about the meet and greet.
01:03:25Many have tried, but I'm afraid there's no getting out of it.
01:03:28Is that why you were in there?
01:03:31Me?
01:03:32Uh, no, I'm helping Lorenzo with a side project.
01:03:35I could really use the extra cash.
01:03:38What is it?
01:03:39I can't really talk about it.
01:03:41He made me sign an NDA.
01:03:44Oh.
01:03:46Hey.
01:03:47That's a really pretty skirt.
01:03:50It reminds me of what my mom used to have.
01:03:52It's nice, isn't it?
01:03:55I actually just picked it up.
01:03:56You can borrow it sometime, Philly.
01:04:00Thanks.
01:04:01Going down?
01:04:02No, I better finish up here.
01:04:07See you later.
01:04:07You have your meeting with Lorenzo today, right?
01:04:28Unfortunately.
01:04:29No, this is good.
01:04:30What you found in his schedule proves that he was trying to cover up the fact that he was in town when your mom was killed.
01:04:35Yeah, but how am I just supposed to ask him about that?
01:04:38No, you can't.
01:04:39Not outright.
01:04:40But having a one-on-one conversation is a good start.
01:04:43See if you can get him to talk about Allie.
01:04:46Allie?
01:04:46Yeah, you said they had a private meeting.
01:04:48Yeah, one she claimed to have signed an NDA for.
01:04:50See if you'll say anything else about it.
01:04:52Find out what the relationship is.
01:04:53Okay.
01:05:16Come in.
01:05:20Come on in.
01:05:21Close the door, please.
01:05:22Have a seat, Della.
01:05:28Do you want something to drink?
01:05:31I'm fine.
01:05:33Thank you for doing this, I mean.
01:05:37It's important to me that my employees feel like they know me.
01:05:40That they can come to me at any time, for any reason.
01:05:43People seem to enjoy working for you.
01:05:45Like, Allie, for example.
01:05:48I mean, I'm guessing she's been working for you for a while, if you trust her enough with an important side project.
01:05:54Loyalty.
01:05:55You can't buy that.
01:05:57Well, actually, you can.
01:06:01So never mind.
01:06:02What about you?
01:06:04Where'd you grow up?
01:06:05Uh, I grew up in the Midwest, but most of my family lives on the East Coast.
01:06:10That's why I moved out here.
01:06:12Your parents?
01:06:12My mother passed away.
01:06:16And I never knew my father.
01:06:21You're like me.
01:06:22My mother died when I was young.
01:06:25My father was never in the picture.
01:06:27It's hard to get started in life without having someone to guide you to the right path.
01:06:32You seem to have done pretty well for yourself.
01:06:35Yeah.
01:06:35I'm doing well now.
01:06:37But it's been a long road to get here.
01:06:39A lot of bumps.
01:06:40A lot of dead ends.
01:06:42How'd you turn it around?
01:06:43First, I had to figure out who I was.
01:06:47But once I did that, I realized that I was good at something.
01:06:51Business.
01:06:52If I could put that to work for me in the right way, I knew that I could be successful.
01:06:56You seemed to have it all figured out.
01:06:59Not quite.
01:07:02What about you, Elena?
01:07:04I'm getting the sense that you don't like talking about yourself.
01:07:07I'm not that interesting.
01:07:11What is it you want?
01:07:14What are you doing here?
01:07:16Why work at LB Corp?
01:07:17It's a great company with lots of opportunities.
01:07:22I know that.
01:07:25But what do you want?
01:07:28What do I want from you?
01:07:30Be honest.
01:07:31You really want to know about me?
01:07:43My name is Elena Russo.
01:07:45My mother was Teresa Russo.
01:07:47She was murdered the day that she came to visit my grandmother after hiding from you for 21 years.
01:07:52You are my father, and I think you killed her.
01:07:57Elena!
01:07:57You can't run in here!
01:08:01Elena!
01:08:02Stop!
01:08:04Elena!
01:08:07Elena!
01:08:10Elena!
01:08:10¡Ella!
01:09:51Freeze!
01:09:54Dump your weapon!
01:09:55Are you all right?
01:10:07I'm okay.
01:10:09What just happened?
01:10:11We got her.
01:10:13Can you stand?
01:10:16Come on.
01:10:18Come on.
01:10:22Damn it.
01:10:25Oh my God, where is she?
01:10:37She's gone.
01:10:42That's her phone.
01:10:49It's evidence now.
01:10:55Come on.
01:11:03Let's get you someplace safe.
01:11:07Stay close.
01:11:08I can't believe you were right about her.
01:11:26You're in shock.
01:11:27You should rest.
01:11:29Do you think she's acting for Lorenzo?
01:11:31You can't stay until there's a thorough investigation.
01:11:34I need to get her in custody.
01:11:35Until that's done, I'm afraid you'll have to keep laying low.
01:11:40That might be tough after what happened today at work.
01:11:46What happened?
01:11:49You know how I was meeting with Lorenzo?
01:11:52Well, he kept asking me questions, crying, and eventually I just snapped in.
01:11:56And I told him everything.
01:12:00What's everything?
01:12:03I told him who I am and that I think he killed my mom.
01:12:08Oh.
01:12:09I know.
01:12:10I know why you shouldn't have let my emotions get the better of me, but you should have seen him.
01:12:15He paints himself out to be some nice guy.
01:12:17Then he acts like he wants to help everyone.
01:12:19But I know he's a killer.
01:12:24He's probably working for him.
01:12:28And I was their special project.
01:12:30We don't have proof of that yet.
01:12:32You have Ali's phone.
01:12:34There's probably something on there.
01:12:36Yes, you're right.
01:12:38I'll have to get it to the lab for processing, but it'll take time, which we don't have.
01:12:43I'm so sorry.
01:12:46I screwed everything up today.
01:12:48No.
01:12:50You did the opposite.
01:12:52You brought us a break in the case.
01:12:54We have a lot for our team to go on.
01:13:01What if we turn the tables on Lorenzo?
01:13:04What do you mean?
01:13:05Well, what if we asked him for another meeting?
01:13:11One we could record.
01:13:13It could work.
01:13:14We could play the Ali's phone card, make it sound like we found something on it, something
01:13:20incriminating to him.
01:13:21Well, dude, at your hockey's place, I'll set it up.
01:13:23Wait.
01:13:24If we do this, we have to think it through.
01:13:27Every detail.
01:13:28Now, the last thing I want to do is put you in even more danger, especially with Ali still
01:13:32on the loose.
01:13:32We have to do this.
01:13:34It's our only shot.
01:13:37You saved my life today.
01:13:39And I won't be reckless.
01:13:45Good.
01:13:49So is that a yes?
01:13:50Ready?
01:14:04I'm nervous.
01:14:07Hey.
01:14:09Is that thing live?
01:14:10Yeah.
01:14:12Wow.
01:14:13Big brother in my own house.
01:14:15I really appreciate you doing this, Jackie.
01:14:21For you and Teresa, anything.
01:14:28Is that clock right?
01:14:29Because he was supposed to be here at 7 o'clock.
01:14:32What if he's not coming?
01:14:33There are a million reasons why he could be late.
01:14:36Here.
01:14:37Drink this.
01:14:41Go on.
01:14:42Bottoms up.
01:14:44He's the only one.
01:14:45Do you think he's late because of traffic?
01:14:46Definitely.
01:14:47It's always traffic.
01:14:49There's construction.
01:14:50Have you been on the turnpike?
01:14:51Carter.
01:14:52I don't know.
01:14:52Have you taken me there yet?
01:14:53Yes.
01:14:54I haven't.
01:14:55There's traffic back in New Jersey.
01:14:57But maybe...
01:14:58What's that?
01:14:59Construction.
01:15:00People.
01:15:00Cars.
01:15:01Everyone's got two cars now.
01:15:03Why?
01:15:05Traffic after 7 o'clock.
01:15:07Have you ID'd the victim?
01:15:13Is he dead?
01:15:13I'll meet you there.
01:15:17I'll meet you there.
01:15:30What's up?
01:15:32He's not coming.
01:15:33It was stupid to think that this could work.
01:15:37You're not stupid.
01:15:39You can't control chaos.
01:15:42Lorenzo's nothing but chaos.
01:15:44No.
01:15:48I wouldn't describe him as that.
01:15:51He's more calculated.
01:15:53Trust me.
01:15:58How do you know so much about Lorenzo anyway?
01:16:00Lorenzo.
01:16:01I used to know him quite well.
01:16:04Better than anyone.
01:16:06And he knew me, too.
01:16:11Like, really knew me.
01:16:14What we had was special.
01:16:18Until Teresa had to come and ruin it.
01:16:22Lorenzo had an annoying sauce spot for Teresa.
01:16:46But not even she could compete with what we had.
01:16:51I guess that's why she had to go get herself knocked up.
01:16:55Listen to me.
01:16:57This is important.
01:17:00I was loyal to him.
01:17:02Even after what she did.
01:17:04I gave him everything.
01:17:06Even a daughter of our own.
01:17:09A daughter?
01:17:10I wanted him to know how much I loved him.
01:17:14But he was always fixated on what he couldn't have.
01:17:19Teresa.
01:17:20And you.
01:17:21He became obsessed.
01:17:23He started visiting Sophia with the hope that the bitch would come and visit one day.
01:17:29To be fair, she finally did.
01:17:34Wait!
01:17:37You and my mom were in friends.
01:17:40Oh, we were at a certain point.
01:17:43But after the accident, I mean, things could never be the same.
01:17:47We both moved on.
01:17:50We just moved on with the same guy.
01:17:54Where's your daughter now?
01:17:57Oh.
01:17:58You met her.
01:17:59My beautiful Allie.
01:18:01Oh.
01:18:05Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
01:18:08I can't let you call Carter.
01:18:11I'll take care of him next.
01:18:15The same way I dealt with Lorenzo and Teresa.
01:18:21You killed my mom.
01:18:25She got what was coming to her.
01:18:29Like mother.
01:18:31Like dog.
01:18:32Seems like a lover's spat to me.
01:18:44How do you think?
01:18:45Final text on his phone?
01:18:47Says it all.
01:18:47Did you want to trace on the number?
01:18:56Unregistered.
01:18:57It's a burner phone.
01:18:58But there is something else.
01:18:59Excuse me.
01:19:02Vape pen.
01:19:03We found this in the passenger seat.
01:19:05Must have fallen between the cracks.
01:19:06We swabbed it for DNA.
01:19:07The lab's working on it now.
01:19:11Call me with the results.
01:19:12Keep me posted on the victim's status.
01:19:14Will do.
01:19:14What do I do with all this?
01:19:38Teresa put Lorenzo away for years.
01:19:41That was years away from my daughter's life.
01:19:43Why did he think that barista job would make you feel free?
01:19:52You and your mother ruined our lives!
01:20:06It's your little weren't a cop, friend.
01:20:08A little like it's on his way back.
01:20:09Do you want me to respond?
01:20:11Jocelyn!
01:20:11Yeah!
01:20:12I am I girl!
01:20:14No!
01:20:17Oh, no!
01:20:18Oh, no!
01:20:19Oh!
01:20:20Oh, no!
01:20:20No!
01:20:28I am I girl!
01:20:30No!
01:20:30I am I girl!
01:20:30Folge!
01:20:31No!
01:20:32No!
01:20:32Oh, no!
01:20:33No!
01:20:33Oh, no!
01:20:33No!
01:20:34Oh, my God.
01:21:04Oh, my God.
01:21:34Oh, my God.
01:22:04Oh, my God.
01:22:11Alison Armstrong, you have the right to remain silent.
01:22:16Anything you say can and will be used against you.
01:22:20Oh, my God.
01:22:27Oh, my God.
01:22:29Oh, my God.
01:22:35Oh, my God.
01:22:42Oh, my God.
01:22:44Oh, my God.
01:22:46Oh, my God.
01:22:48You all right?
01:22:49Yeah.
01:22:51Any news about my dad?
01:22:55Looks like he's gonna pull through.
01:22:57Well, I have to head out.
01:23:01New case assignment.
01:23:03I'll be lucky to have you.
01:23:04I wish you'd consider joining the program, but...
01:23:07You'll keep in touch.
01:23:08You'll keep in touch.
01:23:09Text me and let me know how you're doing.
01:23:11Farewell, I promise.
01:23:14Oh.
01:23:16And Elna.
01:23:17If you ever need anything...
01:23:32Do you mind if I join you?
01:23:48I want to say I'm sorry.
01:24:02Everything that's happened.
01:24:04Especially with Allie.
01:24:06I knew Jackie had been feeding her lies for years.
01:24:11But I didn't realize how bad things had gotten.
01:24:16Maybe serving time will do her some good like it did for you.
01:24:21It changed your life.
01:24:24I hope so.
01:24:25What is it?
01:24:31You look so much like Teresa.
01:24:36I saw a video of you harassing her at Sophia's house.
01:24:46That was the last day she was alive.
01:24:51I went there to feed Sophia's cat.
01:24:53I've been taking care of her ever since Sophia went into the hospital.
01:24:55I never expected to see Teresa there.
01:25:02I just wanted to talk to her but...
01:25:04I know it's my fault because of who I was.
01:25:08And how I treated Teresa back then.
01:25:20I didn't deserve anything from her.
01:25:22I don't deserve anything from you either.
01:25:25This is a dream.
01:25:43It's all real.
01:25:44I'm right here, Grandma.
01:25:49Here you go.
01:25:52Tell me.
01:25:53Tell me.
01:25:54I'm sorry.
01:25:55Well, my name is Elena.
01:26:08Elena Sophia, actually.
01:26:10I was born October 14, 2001.
01:26:16I was the one.
01:26:17Mom and I lived in Cincinnati.
01:26:18It was always just the two of us.
01:26:23And she really was the best.
01:26:28Take care.
