Absentia

See you Monday, Dr. Vega.

Bye-bye. Bye-bye.

Get in.

Where's Adam Radford?

He's fine. I left him safe, police found him.

Are you expecting anyone else?

Just, cleaning staff at 6:00.

Good. Take a seat.

Don't move.

Why are you doing this?

I need your help and I need to buy some time.

Okay, feet together.

Now, where's my file?

Over there.

It's locked. Where's the key?

In the desk. The first... Right.

What are you looking for?

Everyone thinks that I am behind this

and it's blinding them to the truth.

Somebody else is behind this.

And I thought that Radford would have a few answers.

Turns out he did.

In fact, he gave me a clue

and I need you to help me make sense of it.

Hey, look, I don't think you killed those people.

But my advice for you is to turn yourself in.

I can't.

Too close to solving this.

I need your help, Doctor.

How can I help?

Bleeding eye.

It's a place.

Except I can't remember where it was. I saw it when I was a kid.

I just...

Did I ever mention it?

No, I... You can look through your file,

but I don't think so.

You think this place has something to do

with your abduction?

I don't know. I'll know when I see it.

Okay.

I'm going to ask you to do something

that might sound impossible,

given the state you're in right now...

Hey! Stop.

And breathe.

Thank you. Relax.

That's right.

Thank you.

Relax.

Concentrate on your vision.

Take your time.

That's it.

Okay.

You okay?

Yeah, I will be.

Just a scrape.

Thanks in there.

Yeah.

No vest?

Didn't think I was walking into a shoot-out.

I guess you know her better than I do.

I wanted to bring her in alive.

If I could.

So much for that.

Describe your vision.

Describe the place we're looking for.

It's a tree.

It's smooth and white.

It's an aspen.

I'm there with other children.

From the orphanage?

Yeah.

And we're spinning around a tree.

We're singing.

I'm with friends.

I feel happy.

Stay there. Breathe. Deep.

Breathe on.

Stay there, with your friends.

There's a fog coming in.

Thank you, Doctor.

You know where it is?

Yeah. But you know I can't tell you.

You're duty bound to tell the police.

No. But I really need a head start.

Hey.

Okay, now... Hey!

Cleaning crew comes at 6:00.

Yes, sir.

I think somebody's dealing with that as we speak.

Yeah, sure.

Congratulations.

It's a temporary assignment.

Am I fired?

Seriously, Durand?

I'm sorry.

Adam?

Why do you think she killed him?

I mean, I get Semerov and I sure as hell get Harlow, but...

I know why she killed Adam.

She thought that he had been holding her in that cabin.

What?

It's crazy. I know.

I kept trying to talk her off of it.

She wouldn't hear it.

That's what she was raving on and on about

when she ran off on me.

How the hell did she get that idea?

I didn't want to drag you into it more than you already were.

Now you see where going after Adam got me.

I really thought

that I could bring her in and end this.

You still think that?

I want you to be our point person with BPD.

Work with Tommy to bring Emily in safely.

I don't know.

Nobody knows her mind like you do.

She's not the woman I knew.

Come on, Nick.

Okay.

Good. We need to bring her in before anyone else gets hurt.

We're gonna keep this stuff about Radford to ourselves for now.

After we bring Emily in,

we'll go to Internal Affairs about Radford together.

And, Nick...

Your loyalty is to me now. Not Tommy or anyone else.

No secrets. We clear?

Yeah.

I'll be ready.

Did she kill Adam?

My God.

It's my fault.

Everything she does from here on out, it's on me.

I'm gonna take a shower.

Did you sleep with her?

The night she escaped, did you sleep with her?

Are you in love with her?

Part of me will always love her.

When does the next bus leave for Colebrook?

At 9:00 p.m. Making all stops.

Manchester, Concord, Plymouth,

Whitefield, Lancaster, Colebrook.

When's it get in?

1:00 a.m.

Four hours? Making all stops.

Okay.

Twenty, thirty... There you go.

Thanks.

Yeah?

I didn't kill Radford.

Emily? Where the hell are you?

Look, I left him alive. He was alive.

Where are you?

Listen. You're both in danger.

I don't know how he found me there, but he did.

And he could be watching you and Flynn.

You need help.

You're not well.

Just tell me where you are.

Would you just listen to me?

He is going to hurt you. He is going to hurt Flynn.

Please, Nick, I am getting close.

The only thing that you are getting closer to, Emily,

is getting shot dead in the street.

Think about our son.

I am.

I'm not going to let him grow up thinking I'm a murderer.

I would rather die trying to clear my name.

Somebody killed all of those people and I'm gonna find out who.

This is not the way.

This is not the way, Emily.

If you want to catch this person,

you need to turn yourself in.

I'm sorry, Nick.

I can't do that.

What's up?

It's me.

She called.

Look at the evidence, Dad. We have to consider it's her.

It's not true.

The facts speak for themselves, Dad.

Don't condescend to me, boy. Don't you know your own sister?

She's your family, for God's sake.

See, that's the problem right there.

You haven't considered that maybe I know her and you don't?

You didn't come here out of care for me.

You came because you couldn't wait to tell me

when your sister disappeared.

That's bullshit and you know it. I am here because of you.

Last time nearly killed you.

As you can see, I didn't keel over from the shock.

So, you can go. Go celebrate.

You're drinking again. I can tell.

The great detective strikes again.

Or maybe Emily ratted me out to you and you're covering for her.

You mean after you threw her out?
