Will Trent - First Season

Previously on Will Trent...

Our killer keeps 'em alive approximately 48 hours,

then he finishes 'em off and dumps 'em.

Were you able to get a look at him?

Not really... smelled good. But it was, like, a hand lotion or something.

The link between the old murders and the recent ones... it's you.

One of the women the killer took, back in the '80s...

- She was your mother. - What was her name?

Lucy Morales.

You got a date for your internal review board?

Yeah, it's tomorrow.

Detective Polaski wouldn't miss this, Captain.

Angie?

We have no comment.

"The Tailor"? Who came up with that?

That's a stupid name.

He disconnected the Wi-Fi.

That's why the security system and the cameras were off.

And what I can't figure out is why she didn't run.

There was a struggle in the kitchen.

It seems like she could've gotten away.

Is he okay?

He's fine... Just give him a minute.

Will, Paul Campano's on his way.

He's gonna take you to his house.

I forgot my tape recorder.

What?

I forgot my tape recorder.

My routine was off...

Sleepin' on the couch 'cause Angie was here.

I took Betty to work.

I had to pack her kibble and leash.

I forgot my tape recorder.

It was... it was right here in this bowl,

next to Angie's gun.

We'll help you find it.

No. No! I...

She left something for us.

What'd you do, Angie?

She was listening to music.

She played this crap in the car all the time.

She was psyching herself up for the hearing.

She was gonna make it.

Of course she was.

She was dressed except for shoes.

Yeah, yeah

You've got to show me

Ugh, okay.

Let's go not get fired.

What do you think, Betty?

Promises

I've had more than my share

Mm, luckily for me, it's not up to you.

She had a few minutes to make a snack.

Have we got time to eat?

Some point, the security system goes dark.

Nowhere

She heads to the kitchen.

What I need is somebody

Who really cares

She starts to make a sandwich.

There's no time,

so she just goes in for the peanut butter.

It's been so long

Since I touched a wanting hand

I know.

She gets in a hit.

Killer backs off.

She made it to the door.

And that's what I'm saying. Why didn't she just run for it?

Exactly... why didn't she? Where's Paul?

Right here, buddy.

- Smell Betty. - Why?

Just do it.

That's him. Tha... that's the smell!

I know it from somewhere.

Getting caught up

Killer had Betty.

That's why she stopped... To save her.

What I really need is

They went for the gun. They wrestled.

Hold my dog.

Don't you promise me the world

Betty bit him. She couldn't make it to the gun.

Phone was in the bedroom.

But she grabbed the tape recorder.

Run, Betty. Go, go, go.

Speak louder than...

Here, here.

She puts Betty in the hamper,

looks for a hiding place.

Um, medium build, um...

6', Caucasian, blue eyes.

Keep your eye on the ball, Will.

That's my girl.

I'm gonna find you.

You bitch!

Thanks to Detective Polaski,

we have a description of the killer.

We also know he has a small dog bite

somewhere on his body.

We know what he smells like,

and we also know what he sounds like

when he's screaming the word "bitch."

He's got Angie.

If he stays on schedule, we got less than 42 hours.

Let's get to work. I'm back on this case.

Of course.

Donna Mary Halston was the first victim?

Yes, we found her on our beat in an alley.

She was dumped?

She was staged:

hands over her chest,

nails done bright red.

Jane Delray was next?

Yeah, a couple of blocks south,

the same pose, same red nails,

but we didn't know that at the time.

Then...

Lucy Morales.

It's the first picture I've ever seen of my mother.

She was great, Will. Just real special...

No, we're not doing that now.

You've had over 15 years to tell me who my mother was.

Lucy was the third one taken and the last one found.

The unique thing about her was how long he kept her,

and he technically didn't kill her.

She died in childbirth.

So technically, I killed her?

She was in a dirty room,

tied down without a doctor.

He killed her.

He kept her longer because he liked her.

Lucy, your mother...

She had on red fingernail polish

the last time we saw her.

She said it was a client.

Good thing you didn't follow up on that.

You know, I'm not gonna keep explaining myself to you.

Some girls mentioned a gold Jaguar cruising around

during lunch rush,

but Butch and Rick... They weren't interested

in tracking it down.

I'd like to speak to Detective Bonnie and Landry

as soon as possible. Can you two arrange that?

Cancer got Landry in the '90s,

and I'm sure we can find Butch Bonnie

in whatever bottle he's crawled into.

Do you know who my father is?

I do not.

She wouldn't say.

Detective Bonnie, we saw that car again.

Oh, right,

the one you said was suspicious?

He was just stopped, watching the girls from a distance,

then sped off as soon as he saw we noticed him.

- No plates. - There's something there.

I... I just... I can feel it.

Oh?

Well, why didn't you just say so?

She can feel it, Rick. We gotta get on this.

You are such a jerk.

You're out of your league, rookie.

Women's intuition isn't gonna find this guy.

We will.

I wouldn't trust you to find your own ass in a snowstorm.

What did you say, you little slut?

It's not women's intuition.

It's a cop's hunch.

You ever had one?

I feel it in my gut, not between my legs.

Stay out of our case,

or you willfeel something between your legs.

Wow, you are turning into one fierce son of a bitch.

Lucy's still out there.

We gon' find that car.

I'm sorry for the late hours.

Yes, ma'am. Anything you could tell us...

No, I know you already talked to some uniforms, sir,

but I have some...

Damn. Don't worry about it!

It's just my partner. It's only a human life.

God, people are garbage.

I can't comment on the Tailor, ma'am.

I'm just calling to see if there was anything unusual

in your neighborhood prior to...

- Detective Ormewood. - A gold Jaguar, really?

Did you happen to get a license plate?

Oh, thanks for returning my call.

No, I don't guess I would stop with two grocery bags

and a Great Dane either.

A gold Jaguar?

Yes, that's very helpful.

What?

Oh, we're gonna catch the guy, ma'am.

Just stay vigilant and be aware of your surroundings, okay?

Have a good night.

- Gold Jaguar? - Gold Jaguar.

- Did you get a plate? - Nope.

It's been seven hours.
