Cal?
Okay, let's start from the beginning. What exactly do we know?
We know havlock hired a black hat out of Russia to steal archive 6.
We know the hacker vanished, but not before giving the archive to a courier.
Aka Vincent thiago.
Fake name. Fake papers. Fake everything.
And the one thing we know about the courier is that he arrived here
24 hours before the crash.
Which suggests that he knew about the crash,
waiting to meet havlock and hand off the archive.
But how did they know havlock was gonna crash here?
Unless the two of them chose to put the plane down exactly where they did.
Why? What's here? What's in Alaska?
Bears, spam, mosquitos bigger than most birds.
What is that?
They are hosting a shindig at the mecca to raise money for Donnie's family.
There's beer, food. Dancing if I'm lucky.
Beer and dancing at a funeral? During a manhunt?
It's not a funeral. It's what our tribes call a pot latch.
You know, when one of our people passes away, the whole community shows up,
donates what they can to help ease the workload for the family.
Frank, I got a trooper on line two. Says it's urgent.
Remnick.
Hey, frank.
It's good to hear your voice again.
On it.
I thought I might be finding your body right about now on the Alaskan tundra.
You know, sometimes it's good to not get what you want.
It's a stroke of luck. How you feeling?
Sore and tired, you?
Pretty good.
Considering I survived a plane crash and a manhunt.
Alaska is not done with you yet.
Inspector Briggs, where is she?
We got a call, live now. He's on line two.
Okay.
I've been reading more about you, frank.
About your time in Chicago and your return home.
I had no idea you lost a daughter.
Sorry, frank. I can't imagine.
Did you call to talk about my daughter?
No. I called to talk to you
because the path we're on requires that we understand each other.
And to do that, I need to speak to you privately.
Can you take me off speakerphone, please?
How about you turn yourself in, we talk all you want.
I'm serious, frank. This is important.
Pick up the phone.
Bradford's afraid of your dead man's switch.
She wants a ceasefire.
She's willing to negotiate.
I loved you, Sidney.
And yet, here you are, hunting me down.
Which is why I need to speak to frank.
Frank, please pick up the phone.
I don't wanna do this in front of everyone.
- Do what? - Talk about our secret.
Thank you, frank.
You know, it's important for me to demonstrate to you
that I'm a man of my word.
I handed back your wife.
I stayed quiet about the weapon you had hidden in your home.
And in exchange, all I want from you… is to answer a question.
Just one question.
What's the question?
You have to promise to answer truthfully, frank.
- Will you? - What's the question?
It's pretty simple, frank.
Can I trust you?
Take your time. Answer truthfully.
Can I trust you?
Yes or no?
Yes.
Thank you, frank.
I got it. It's local. And it's a fixed number.
Contact the phone company, see who's been assigned that number.
Do it now, go.
- Frank! - Yeah?
Sarah.
- Sarah? - Frank?
They're gone. They're not... they're not at the cabin.
Luke and Kira, they're gone.
Whoa, whoa, slow down. What?
And the trooper, he's dead.
Where are you?
I'm at the... the gas station at the bottom of the mountain.
Okay. Stay exactly where you are. I'm gonna come to you.
- Frank. - Hang on. Yeah?
A hunter just found Kira Moore and she's alive.
- What about Luke? - She said he's with an inmate.
We're gonna find Luke. I love you, I'm handing you over to hutch.
Get troopers en route, issue an Amber alert.
Tell air care I need their chopper.
Havlock is gonna have to wait.
Go.
- Where is she? - She's with our village health aide.
She lost consciousness but she's awake now.
- You the guy that found her? - Yes, sir.
I found her along the trail about four miles back.
Lorna, susie.
You okay?
Come here. Come here.
I'm so sorry.
Don't you be sorry, okay?
Look at me. You have nothing to be sorry about.
Okay? You're safe.
We're gonna get you some help.
Yeah? While we do,
I need you to look at some photos and help me identify the man who has Luke.
- Is that him? - No.
You ain't gonna shoot me.
You had your chance and didn't.
- That's the guy. - You sure?
- Positive. - Yeah?
Okay, it's okay. You're okay. Come here.
I will. I swear I will.
Kill me, you'll see my face every time you close your eyes.
- How far to the highway? - It's eight miles by road.
Two on the trail.
I'll get my snow machine.
Sarah, what are you doing here? I sent the troopers to the cabin.
- Is Luke here? - No.
Hutch said he's with an inmate. Do you know where?
No. But I know who he is and where he was.
Kira said there was an accident on the highway.
What are… you drove her here?
Well, she insisted.
Okay, yeah, well, I need your keys.
My god, I'm coming with you.
Maybe I should come with you.
- No. - No. You stay here.
Well, I wanna help.
Listen, Kira Moore is inside the cabin.
Okay, the girl's been through hell.
Check up on her. Notify her mom.
Okay.
What about my truck?
Your truck's finally gonna be driven like a fucking truck.
Hello?
Anybody there?
Give me the keys.
You motherfucker.
Thanks.
I don't know how to drive this thing.
Well, you better figure it out, puddin' ting.
You and I got a job to do.
- How long ago did it happen? - He's live now.
Do we have a location for him?
It's him, ma'am. It's havlock.
We were trying to disable the dead man's switch he tied to the archive
when he came online.
- This is him typing? - Yes.
Been at it for well over a minute which suggests he's using
some kind of multifactor password to reset the switch.
- He's still alive. - And still a threat.
Does this tell us anything about where he is?
He's bouncing signals around the globe.
We can't even unravel his primary layer of encryption.
Junie, I want you to disable this switch, and I want you to know
you have the full resources of the agency to find a work-around.
Can you do that?
- Yes, ma'am. - Good. Do your job.
Get to work. Do it now.
That was the phone company.
They confirmed the number we picked up on our pen register
came from klondike lodge, parks highway, room 130.
It's havlock. He's there.
How fast can you get a warrant?
Fairbanks pd.
Clear.
Clear.
All clear.
He was here.
Tear it apart.
Frank, I've been digging in. This guy who has your son is a problem.
Romero's clinically paranoid and criminally insane.
He graduated from the naval academy with honors.
Majored in robotics and control engineering.
Worked postgrad with DARPA
where he built all kinds of surveillance tools.
So where'd it go wrong?
According to the court records,
romero believed his superiors at DARPA were spying on him.
Through his computer, his phone.
He evidently had some kind of psychological break.
Two weeks later he killed six federal employees.
Bombing structures he believed were government listening posts.
He also murdered his neighbor, pulled three of his own teeth
and dismembered his dog while searching for listening devices.
- My god. - Kira said she overheard romero
talking about taking revenge on an old mistress. Does that ring a bell?
Nothing here about a woman.
Get into his life. See if there's an ex or female officer he worked with.
I need to know where he's going.
Also, frank, we traced havlock's call to a local hotel here.
It was paid for by the courier.
Right, not now. Stay with romero. I need to know where he's going.
I thought they were both gonna be safe, okay? I did. I just…
With everything going on with the investigation, with you it…
Say something.
