Absentia

Oh, God.

It is the judgment of this court

that the defendant, Conrad Harlow,

having been found guilty of the murder of Emily Byrne,

be committed to the custody of the US Bureau of Prisons

for a life sentence without parole.

Still the main suspect in two additional murders

and five missing persons cases,

the FBI have only been able to make a case against him

for the murder of FBI agent Emily Byrne.

The serial killer's macabre signature,

removing the eyelids of his victims.

Hey, where is she?

Sir, please.

I want to know where my wife is.

Sir, please.

Where did you put her?

Nick, no! Where did you put her?

Where is she? Where is she? Nick!

Where is my wife?

On the starboard, one.

Port side up, two...

Tap it on, tap it on, three...

Breathe! Two.

Breathe! Three.

Stop!

Hey, Tommy.

Cause of death is manual strangulation.

We're running his DNA through the usual databases.

Here, look at this.

Fish bites. Note the texture.

Now, look at the eyelids.

These are clean cuts, not bites.

So the eyelids were cut off?

You're sure?

Unless a new species of fish recently mutated in the Charles,

which I suppose is possible.

What is it?

Conrad Harlow.

Killed that Fed, Emily Byrne, a while back.

Give you one guess what his signature was.

You think the wrong man's in jail?

Or this is a copycat.

You ready?

Not really.

Take your marks, guys.

Come on.

You can do this.

Come on, Flynn!

Keep going!

Yeah!

Hey, how's he doing? He's doing good.

Come on, buddy!

Come on, keep swimming, keep moving, come on, Flynn!

Come on. You made it!

I won!

You won, baby, you did it!

Come on, guys.

Come on...

What? Are you embarrassed?

Are you embarrassed? You embarrassed?

Hey, Adam.

Nick, I'm sorry, I was just...

No, no, it's all right.

Come on.

Hey. Come here.

Look at me.

I know she would have loved to be at your race.

At every race. She wanted to make your life safer.

And mine.

We kinda owe her, don't you think?

You're my mom.

Hi, champ.

Hey. Hey.

How's he doing? This is always a tough day.

It never gets easier.

Durand.

Hello, Nick.

Harlow?

I imagine you're in bed with your new wife right now.

How the hell are you calling me?

Nick.

Up and at 'em, Agent Durand.

You have 60 minutes if you push it.

She won't last a second longer.

Who is it?

What are you talking about?

She's alive.

This is your second chance, Nick.

Life doesn't give us second chances too often.

Make the most of it.

Take I-93 north, exit 44A.

Nick.

Follow the service road up north, What is happening?

Take a right. What are you doing?

There's a cabin there.

Please! Stop! Just stop!

Nick! Nick!

I'm telling you it was Harlow, he called me at home.

He said it's a cabin, support will meet me at the access road.

Copy that, Nick. Radford's on his way to question Harlow.

Let's see if he can get anything out of him.

The cabin's 100 meters that way.

Go! Go! Go! Go!

Go.

Cabin is empty, I repeat, the cabin is empty.

Can you repeat that?

Subject is not in the cabin. I repeat, subject is not in the cabin.

Copy that. Awaiting orders.

Move the flashlight! Move!

Help me with these boards. Help me with these boards.

Get those boards off! Get those boards off!

Clear it. Clear it. ...help her.

Get down. Now.

Medic! Medic! We need a medic!

It's her! It's her! Open it up! Open it up!

Send me a ladder. Get a medic.

Where's the water coming from?

Down here.

It won't open.

Open it.

Down with two. Now left with two.

Nick.

Step back! Step back!

Get her legs. Get her legs. Go, go, go!

Turn, turn, turn, turn.

Easy. Easy.

Ma'am, can you hear me? Can you hear me?

Can you squeeze my hand?

Squeeze my hand. You're safe now.

Ma'am, squeeze my hand.

Squeeze my hand if you can hear me.

Fifteen milligram, yeah.

Hold her still.

Emily!

Emily! He's trying to help you! He's trying to help you!

Calm down!

Here we go, here we go.

Easy.

Go... Go.

Mr. Durand, what's it like having Emily back?

Where has she been? How is she?

Has she told you anything? Can you give us any information at all?

Go! Can you give us...

What do we have? Found her under water in a tank.

She's got minor cuts and abrasions and her breathing's shallow.

Blood pressure 140/95, tachycardia 145.

What did you give her? Fifteen milligrams Diazepam.

What is her name? Emily. Emily Byrne.

Wait! You have to wait here!

FBI agent Emily Byrne was found alive early this morning.

Declared dead in absentia, Byrne is believed to be a victim of Conrad Harlow,

a suspect in several additional missing person cases,

who's currently serving life for Byrne's murder.

Nick.

Have you heard anything?

Not much.

I'm kind of in a holding pattern here.

I'm sorry, excuse me, Jack.

I've tried calling you.

I know.

I'm sorry,

I just saw it on the news.

I just needed a moment to...

I understand.

How is she?

I don't know.

Her brother's here. We're waiting for the doctor.

How are you?

Fine.

Look, I can't say much right now.

About where she was or...

You don't have to.

Flynn just woke up.

He's picking his clothes for school.

We shouldn't tell him yet.

I wanna be there.

Mom, do we have time for waffles?

Sure, honey.

I have to go.

Okay. Me, too.

I love you.

Okay.

Flynn! Flynn! How do you feel about your mother being alive and back?

Have you had any contact with your mother?

I should have kept looking for her.

No, no. We did everything we could.

You had to do right by Flynn.

And what's he gonna have to deal with now?

How is she?

Hi, I'm Dr. Fletcher.

I'm sorry, this is Jack, Emily's brother.

She's stable.

I know your colleagues will want to speak with her,

but we need to proceed delicately.

Do you have any idea what happened to her?

No, we're still running tests.

She's having intermittent laryngospasm,

a sudden constricting of the throat,
