Long Bright River

We got the guy. - Who is it?

Sean Kelly.

Sean Kelly?

The guy you arrested on DV a few days ago.

You need to step back.

You're not taking my girls.

Colleen, it's gonna be easier for them if this goes smooth, okay?

Another young woman was found. Emily Morris.

Uh, insulin overdose?

It's a gunshot. She's still alive.

Who did this to you?

Was it a cop?

We think he's going to do it again.

You ever need to hide something, you put it in here.

You ever need to tell me anything, you put it in here.

And if you ever need to tell me something... - I'll put it in here, too.

A woman from the Avenue said that we need to be looking at a cop.

Who is she?

Paula Mulroney.

Sean Kelly? He's not a cop.

It seems Paula was wrong.

Just like me, so fuckin' wrong.

I don't remember the last time I was right.

No, no, no, no.

There goes that beautiful mind.

Spinnin' out. Second guessing.

You know what? - What?

I'm gonna make things easy on us this morning.

Oh.

First, I'm gonna get dressed.

Pants. Shirt.

Shoes. In that order.

Then... I'm gonna sneakily,

and stealthily make you some tea.

And I'll be out the door...

...before you have time to freak out,

or Thomas wakes up.

Whichever one happens first.

Where'd you go?

Sean Kelly.

I guess I just can't wrap my head around it.

I know Simon makes more sense, for a lot of reasons.

But you heard what DiPaolo said. - I know.

You gotta let it go, Mick.

For your own sake. - I can't.

For Kacey's.

If Kelly's the guy, then where the hell is she?

At least if it was Simon, I might know where to find her.

Six months. She's never been gone this long.

She's not at Gee's, she's not at Ashley's.

Nobody's seen her on the Avenue.

She'll turn up. She always does.

That's reassuring.

I don't think you actually wanna find her.

I know you've never liked her.

Yeah. It's on me.'Cause Kacey's always been such a huge fan of mine.

I should never have let her walk out of our house that day.

It wasn't your choice.

It was hers.

This isn't your fault.

Look... I've already got buddies in the 30th looking out for her.

But there's only so much we can do if she doesn't want to be found.

You got to let it go.

I'll let it go when I find her.

Thomas, you almost done getting ready?

Bethany's gonna be here in ten minutes.

Oh, yeah. Getting dressed now.

I thought you didn't like Bethany.

That was just a misunderstanding.

Oh. - Good morning.

Good morning. Just wanted to give you this.

Thomas left Dun-Dun at my house yesterday.

I thought he might be needing him.

Thank you.

And thank you for everything last night.

I don't know what I would've done if something had happened.

No thanks necessary.

Thomas is a pleasure to be around.

Look, I don't get too many visitors these days.

So if you want me to watch Thomas again today,

it probably will be a good thing for me, too. Not just Thomas.

He can help decorate my tree for Christmas.

Thank you for the offer, but we've got today covered.

Not Winnie-the-Pooh.

Winnie-the-Pooh?

Bethany?

Dresses like him anyway.

I... I don't wanna know as much about her navel as I do.

I'll watch Thomas.

You're desperate, dear.

But you're not that desperate.

Maria. Hey, is Sean Kelly still in holding?

Uh, yeah, he's still here, but he's about to be transferred to Riverside.

Soon as, uh, Sam gets off his break.

Okay. Thank you.

Mickey, you got a sec?

Assuming you heard the news about the perp...

...you arrested in the domestic violence case?

Looks like he could also be the perp in those murders.

Lafferty mentioned you two saw him at the first crime scene.

You don't remember me, do you?

I don't remember much.

Lafferty was the one who spoke to him.

Well, he said Kelly seemed pretty jittery.

Thought at first he might've been coming down from something,

but, you know, now he's not so sure.

And we're sure he's the guy?

It's just, I arrested him on a domestic assault call,

and he didn't present as somebody who was trying to cover up a murder.

Or murders. If anything, it was the opposite.

Well, we've got his DNA so far on two of the victims.

He's got a history of abuse. We're...

...searching his home now, talking to his wife.

Trying to establish a timeline for the murders.

Hey, don't worry, all right? We're investigating every avenue.

You set me up.

I set you up? You told me you remembered me.

And now I know where from.

I was just playing with you.

Do you really think I would've been fucking with you like that?

Remindin' you that I was on those tracks...

...if I was the one who had murdered those girls? Hm?

I didn't do this. What they're saying.

DNA says you did. - Please.

I ain't the first guy in Philly to peel off a ten-spot for a trick.

And I probably won't be the last.

Seen this girl?

Huh.

You really think I'm gonna help you?

So you can set me up again?

I didn't fuck her.

That girl.

But, uh...

...everybody else did.

Hey, Maria, have you seen Lafferty this morning?

No, I haven't seen him.

Hey, guys, have you seen Lafferty?

He's on leave.

Why?

What happened?

Well, now you're concerned about him?

You were the one who requested solo duty.

So, I'm pretty sure this falls under 'none of your business.'

Yeah. Hold your horses. I'm coming.

Mickey.

What are you doing here?

I just came to check on you.

Ahearn said that you called out of work.

What?

Nothing. I just didn't think that you... Yeah.

Sorry. Come on in.

Please.

Sorry about the mess. The kids just left.

They never know how to leave the place the way they found it.

I understand the feeling.

Of course, you knew. Who am I talking to?

Hey, uh, you want a beer? I got a couple lagers in the fridge.

Well, I'm on duty.

But thanks.

Oh.

Truth is, they benched me.

Why?

'Failure to follow through on tasks,' is what Ahearn said.

Well, I told you I wasn't cut out for this.

I think my head's fucked up, you know?

With all those girls dying.

That's normal.

Means you care.

Does it?

I don't know.

You know what really fucks me up?

I talked to him for five minutes.

Sean Kelly.

I talked to the actual murderer for five minutes and... and...

I missed it.

I mean, what if I could've stopped him from doing it again?

Maybe he's not the killer.

I don't think he did it either.

Maybe your instincts were correct the first time around.

I just keep going over it in my head, you know, thinkin' about what I missed.

What? What do you see?

A guy who looked guilty.

He was shakin'.

He was lookin' over at the scene.

Kept lookin' like he wanted to get the fuck outta there.

But I was just so distracted by that dead body.

Did you tell Ahearn all that?

Oh, yeah. It's probably why he benched me.

Maybe he was right to.

But, uh...

...honestly, I don't even think he cared.

I mean, we go way back, right?

Sometimes you can't...

...know a person fully. You know?

What do you mean?

I don't know. Listen, he's been different, you know.

Closed off since I started.

Like he's hiding something? - No.

Maybe I was just askin' him too many questions, you know.

Gettin' in his face too much.
