Hawaii Five-O
Season One, Episode Twenty-One, Ho'opa'i (Close to Heart)
Original Air Date: April 18, 2011
The wife of an undercover policeman, Reggie Cole is murdered in her home along with an FBI agent. A powerful New York crime boss is the prime suspect for the killing. McGarrett and Five-O must find the killers and who was responsible for hiring the hit before Reggie can exact his own revenge for the death of his wife and to keep he and his son safe.
Lisa Cole (Selita Ebanks) and her young son, Kevin (Kewsi Boakye) are walking along the beach when a man holding a football, Reggie Cole (Sean Combs) comes into view. Kevin asks who he is and she tells him it's his father. Reggie gives his wife flowers and a kiss then tells his son he's gotten so big and gives him the football. Lisa notices two other men standing behind her husband and he tells her they are a precaution. Reggie speaks with his son again and Kevin tells him they saw a dolphin. Reggie tells him they might go swim with the dolphin later. Reggie embraces his family.
Later that night, he and his wife talk about the time he's spent undercover--almost two years. Lisa is upset their son didn't even recognize his father. Reggie tells her no one has ever been as close as he is to getting the guy he's been working undercover with. He wants his family back but needs a little more time to close the case then he promises he'll be home for good. Reggie takes a walk on the beach and sits down to think. As he's there, he hears a popping sound behind him--gunfire. He runs to the house and finds one of the agents protecting him dead. The second, Art Newman (Nicholas B. Gianforti) has been shot in the collarbone. Newman tells him there are two shooters and points out the direction they went. Reggie takes Newman's gun and moves through he house. He finds his wife dead on the floor. His son runs into the room and one of the shooters enters and begins shooting. Reggie returns fire and is hit. Reggie tells Kevin to go to his room and hide until his daddy comes to get him. Reggie pursues the men outside and to their vehicle where he manages to shoot one of them before the drive away and he crumples to the ground.
Steve McGarrett returns home from a morning swim to find Kamekona in the house. When he asks why he's there, Kamekona tells him it's too cook him breakfast. Steve and Kamekona had bet on a basketball game and Steve won so Kamekona, being one who never welches on a bet, must serve as Steve's personal chef the entire week. The first meal he cooked: SPAM, potato frittatas and SPAM fried rice. Everything he's going to cook for Steve that week will have SPAM in it as it's the Hawaiian steak, the nectar of the islands. Steve notices an envelope on the floor at the front door. It wasn't there when Kamekona arrived and he thinks someone must have slipped it under the door while he was in the kitchen. Inside the envelope are the photographs of Steve's mother's burned-out car that were stolen from his father's toolbox. Steve receives a call about the Cole incident and gives the orders to not approach the house as Five-O are on the way.
Five-O and the HPD arrive in full force at the Cole home and find Reggie on the ground. He awakens and grabs Steve's arm repeating his son's name again and again. Steve asks who Kevin is and Reggie tells him it's his son. Steve assures him they'll find Kevin then motions for Chin to enter the house as one of the officers stays with Reggie. Chin Ho and Kono enter the house and find Agent Newman while Danny and Steve go in and find the slain agent and Lisa. Steve and Danny enter Kevin's room and find him huddling in his closet, crying. Steve introduces himself to Kevin and promises him no one will hurt him and carries him from the house. Outside, he puts him down and promises he'll get him some answers about his mom and dad but he needs him to go with another officer who will take good care of him but that he will be back for him.
Chin Ho shows McGarrett the FBI credentials of the wounded agent Newman and the credentials of the slain agent, Martin Stallworth. Both agents are based out of the New York Organized Crime Unit. They have Reggie's name but the only identification he had on him was a New York driver's license. A dark vehicle arrives and a women gets out and walks to McGarrett. She introduces herself as Agent Allison Marsh (Cara Buono). She asks about Reggie and Steve informs her he survived along with his young son. Danny asks if she knows who the shooters might be and she tells them Reggie has been working undercover for the FBI in Jimmy Cannon's (Keith David) New York crime family. She tells them the FBI has no idea how things happened but that Cannon must have somehow found out about Reggie's ID and sent his men to wipe him and his family out. McGarrett isn't familiar with Cannon but Danny knows of him from his days in Jersey. Marsh tells them Cannon was coming to Oahu to visit his son, Richard Cannon (Hurshae Summons), a civilian with no connection to his fathers business. Reggie came in a day ahead of Cannon to set up a security detail but wanted to get away to see his wife and son. No one was supposed to know. Marsh informs them it's an FBI matter and the Bureau will be taking over the case. After Steve tells her a little boy will grow up without a mother because of a leak in her agency she warns him he can't go after Jimmy Cannon. He simply replies "watch me" and walks away.
Steve and Danny pay a visit to Reggie Cole at King's Medical Center. He assures Reggie is safe as they have HPD people with him protecting him. Reggie tells them there were two shooters but he didn't see their faces as it was dark. After he found Lisa, he fired, then they fired. He hit one of them and they drove off. Steve asks how many people knew he was going to be in the house and he tells them his supervising agent and the three agents on detail. Very few people in the FBI know he exists. Reggie is certain Jimmy Cannon had something to do with the hit and he wants him to pay for killing his wife and warns them that they don't know who they are dealing with and that Cannon will put walls up wherever they go. Steve says they'll go where the case takes them and guys like them will go right through those walls.
At the house, Kono takes photographs of bloody footprints on the floor. She has found evidence of two shooters confirming what Reggie told Steve and Danny at the hospital. Danny isn't impressed with that. She smiles and asks what if she told him she had a witness. That would blow his mind. She takes him outside and shows him a motion-sensing camera enclosed in a plastic box hanging high in a tree. There are two dozen of them around the preserve to stop illegal spearfishing. That one camera in particular is facing the crime scene. He starts to call the Parks Department to get someone there to open the camera enclosure but that isn't necessary. Kono grabs a rock and quickly climbs the tree, hammers the box open with the rock and retrieves the camera.
The HPD officer looking after Kevin brings him into Reggie's hospital room for a visit. Reggie tells his son how much he loves him. When Kevin asks if he's going to catch the men who hurt his mother, Reggie promises him that he will.
At Five-O headquarters, Kono shows Steve the video footage from the camera. It shows a Ford Explorer pulling into the house just before dawn with the lights off. Two men go into the house then come out two minutes later. The camera shows one of the men having been shot, just as Reggie said had happened, then the Explorer drives away. Steve has her rewind the tape. He wants the crime lab to go back to the scene to look for evidence where the Explorer sat and the man was shot and hospitals checked for reports of gunshot wounds. Kono is going to try cleaning up the faces in the grainy video. Steve asks her to run whatever she gets against all known members of Cannon's organization in the database. He asks about the bootprint at the crime scene. The tread is common and sold worldwide and they will need a suspect to match it to or it's worthless. Chin Ho arrives to tell them he spoke with the M.E. and the slugs retrieved from the victims were made of Tungsten steel--the same kind of bullets used in a handful of New York murders the feds believe, but can't prove, Jimmy Cannon ordered.
Steve and Danny go to the Cannon Compound in Kahala to see Jimmy Cannon. At the gate, they are told by Cannon's guards that he isn't seeing anyone today and to go get some lunch and one of the guards puts money in Steve's shirt pocket. Steve puts both hands on the wheel, which Danny knows means to buckle up, and drives the car through the gates. They walk in on Jimmy Cannon and his son during lunch. Jimmy tells his son to go inside but Steve says he should stay if he wants to find out who his father really is, a statement Richard finds offensive. Danny asks Jimmy if he thought he'd get away with killing Cole's wife and attempting to kill him, something Jimmy claims to know nothing about. Steve makes the situation a bit clearer to Jimmy but he again denies having anything to do with the crime. Steve shows him a photograph of Jimmy's signature bullet that was found at the crime scene but it doesn't bother him any. Steve gets up to leave but asks Jimmy and his son for their shoes.
Back at headquarters, Steve arrives with a bag containing the Cannon mens shoes and the shoes of his bodyguards. Kono has cleaned up the video a bit and has a better picture of one of the shooters. She contacted the FBI Organized Crime task force for mug shots of every known Cannon associate. The enhanced image matched none of them. Steve hopes Reggie can identify the man. He and Danny go to the hospital to see Reggie and find his police guard gagged and handcuffed to his bed and Reggie gone. The doctors lounge was broken into and some clothes are missing. A Jeep Cherokee is also missing from the parking lot. McGarrett orders an APB issued on Reggie and the stolen vehicle. Steve knows Reggie wants to protect his son and avenge his wife but the question is where he starts. Danny, knowing Reggie is a cop, suggests he'll start at the crime scene.
Steve, Chin Ho and Danny return to the Cole house and find the HPD officers there tied up in the living room. One of the officers tell them Reggie just left, took their car and something from the wall. Danny checks the wall and finds the stolen clothes and a bag. The bag is a crash kit, something heavy undercovers use to stash things away in case their cover is blown and they have to break out quick--cash, credit cards, clean ID's and clean weapons. Chin learns that HPD tried to activate the vehicle locator on the stolen squad car but it isn't working.
At Five-O headquarters, Kono asks Kevin for help. She wants to know if he saw any of the men she has photos of at the house. Once he knows Kono is a special police just like his father, he looks through the photographs and doesn't remember any of them. When she removes the picture from the video camera from an envelope, he becomes upset. He saw that man at the house.
Steve and Danny know they must find Reggie before he can exact any revenge on Jimmy Cannon or his men. Kono calls to let them know Kevin recognized the man from the video but couldn't I.D. any of the known Cannon associates. Danny rules out the possibility that the shooters are new hires as Cannon would be more careful than that. None of the shoes matched the prints from the crime scene. Chin Ho enters the conversation to tell them he thinks he knows how Reggie's cover was blown. Of the three agents assigned to Reggie's detail, only Newman and Stallworth were at the house. Agent Marsh was absent during the shooting due to a family emergency. Marsh was supposed to log in changes to Reggie's protection detail, something she didn't do.
Steve brings Marsh in for questioning and she maintains her daughter was sick. He asks how much Cannon was paying her because she needed the money. She tells him she lost her house because her ex-husband stopped paying alimony. When he tells her she needed money desperately, she demands to talk to his boss. He tells her he answers to God and the Governor, neither of which will help her out right now. She admits she lied. She wasn't at the safe house because she is in a bad custody battle and is worried her ex would take her daughter out of the country. She pulled some strings to have him detained by the local police because she felt it was the only way to keep him in the country so he couldn't take her daughter away. She didn't have anyone cover her because all she needed was a couple of hours and Agent Newman said he and Stallworth could handle things while she was gone. She tells him if she had known they were compromised she never would have left. Kono knocks on the door to tell Stevie HPD found the squad car Reggie stole.
In Pearl City, Danny and Steve go over the abandoned squad car. The vehicle locator was disabled and Reggie had been using the computer in the car twenty minutes earlier to run a 1996 white Ford Explorer. Seventy-one potential candidates were returned in the search along with license photos. Chin calls to say the lab came back with a match to the blood sample found from the man Reggie shot. It was a local man, Aidan Pouchai. Danny runs the name and finds an address. They go to the Waipahu address and find Aidan in his truck, dead. Steve's phone rings and it is Reggie. He tells Steve he didn't kill Aidan, that someone else got to him before he could question the man. Steve wants Reggie to come in so they can work to clear him but he refuses. Steve again asks Reggie to trust them and let them help him but he says whoever got his wife killed was someone he trusted so trust isn't his thing anymore. He tells them to stay out of his way and hangs up. Danny and Steve figure out Reggie is listening to police chatter on a portable radio he took from the squad car. Danny is preparing to call in and order radio silence when Steve suggests a better idea: give Reggie something to hear.
They call in an armed suspect in the case at Ala Moana Beach park. As Reggie is watching Steve and Danny lead HPD in the arrest from a distance, Kono and Chin Ho close in on him and order him to raise his hands and walk backwards. He complies and they take him into custody. Danny and Steve arrive and Kono shows Steve a .38 caliber handgun she found on Reggie. The M.E. pulled two .38 slugs out of Aiden. As Kono and Chin lead him away, Reggie protests loudly claiming he didn't kill Aiden. In the trunk of Reggie's car, Danny finds another gun and magazines loaded with Tungsten steel bullets. Reggie tells them he got the gun out of Aiden's car and took it for evidence. Again, he states he didn't kill anyone and tells them Cannon didn't either. Steve asks what he's talking about and Reggie tells him Jimmy Cannon didn't kill his wife.
At Five-O, he again tells them Jimmy Cannon didn't kill Lisa despite everything pointing to him. He knows that Jimmy wouldn't trust some local low-level for a major hit as he has too much access to major talent. Jimmy was set up and whoever did that killed Aiden. Chin enters the interrogation room to tell Steve the ballistics report came back and the .38 found on Reggie doesn't match the slugs found in Aiden. Reggie tells McGarrett that he thinks he knows how to find who is responsible for the murders. Reggie shows Steve and Chin Ho the Tungsten bullets he found in Aiden's car. He takes one apart to show it has a full load. He takes another apart and it has only a half load. A bullet rigged to only have half the force would be used not to kill someone but to not kill them and still give them an airtight alibi.
Steve accompanies Reggie and Agent Marsh to the hospital to see Agent Newman. Steve tells him they know he made the Tungsten bullets half load so they would wound but not kill. They pulled his prints off them and then found $500,000 in a Cayman Islands account. Marsh asks Newman who paid him to give away the location of the safe house. Reluctantly, Newman tells them he never met the person who paid him and only talked with them over the phone. He gives them the name of the second shooter: Nelson Lee (Zero Kazama).
Enroute to Nelson Lee, Steve tells Reggie they need to take Lee alive as he has to be able to I.D. who hired him to kill him and his family. They arrive at Lee's and find him outside. He runs when he sees them drive up. Reggie chases him through neighboring houses while Steve drives through the neighborhood to cut Lee off. Steve ends up getting to Lee first and knocks down an awning, catching Lee under it. Lee gets up and stands before Steve and Reggie, who is holding two guns on Lee. Steve, who also has his gun out, yells to Reggie to not shoot. When Steve sees Lee go for his own weapon, he gives the OK for Reggie to take a shot. Both men fire taking Lee down. Before Lee can die, Reggie questions him as to who sent him to kill him and his family. Lee tells him that Jimmy Cannon's son, Richard is the one who hired him.
Five-O and Reggie descend on the Cannon compound to arrest Richard. Jimmy tells Reggie he betrayed him and that he didn't kill his wife. Reggie admits he knows that, then turns his weapon toward Richard stating he did it. Steve begins reading Richard Cannon his rights while his father tells his son to admit he had nothing to do with the hit. Steve advises Richard to remain silent because the pre-meditated murder of a federal agent and a police officers wife in front of their minor child is special circumstances, meaning the death penalty under Federal law. HPD takes Richard away and Steve and Reggie tell Jimmy how Richard was protecting his inheritance. He thought his father would lose his businesses so he sent men to kill Reggie and his family and planted evidence to convict his own father before the case could be closed against him. He then started to kill the men he hired. Once his father was in prison for murder, Richard would take over the empire. Jimmy was betrayed by his own son. Reggie promises Jimmy that he will hunt him down like a dog.
Reggie and his son are going to Washington as he plans to keep his promise to Lisa. He accepted a desk job at FBI headquarters in the Organized Crime division. He'll help build a new case against Cannon and be able to come home at night to his son. Steve tells him if he decides he wants to raise his son out there to let him know. He can use a man with his skill set. Reggie tells him he's going to bring down Cannon first but he might come back and take him up on that offer. He thanks McGarret and the team then looks at clouds with his son. Kevin asks if he thinks his mother sees the same cloud they are looking at. Reggie tells him he knows she does.

Breakout Kings
Season One, Episode Seven, Fun With Chemistry
Original Air Date: April 17, 2011
The team is called into action when a man escapes prison after murdering his mother and taking a young woman hostage. As they work the case, they learn the young woman isn't really a hostage but instead, the escapees girlfriend. What is even more surprising is which of the two is the passive participant and which one is the aggressive. Meanwhile, both Julianne and Erica express interest in someone on the team.
It is visiting day at Wallkill Correctional Facility in Wallkill, New York. The families and loved ones of various prisoners have come to visit. One man, Barry, is visited for the first time by a girl he met online, Starla Roland. Another prisoner, Mars O'Connell (Rodney Eastman) is visited by his mother. Mars' mother had told him he wasn't her son anymore unless he apologized to her. Thinking she was there for that apology, she gently touches her sons face. He takes hold of her and puts a knife to her throat. He orders the guards to open the fence or he will cut her throat. When the guard gives him an ultimatum to release her or be shot, he apologizes to his mother then cuts her throat. He then takes Starla hostage and holds the bloody knife to her throat. The protect the children and families inside the gate, the guard orders the gates opened. Mars moves through the gate with Starla. He drags her to her car and orders her to drive away.
In the office, Charlie brings the cons up to speed on Marlin "Mars" O'Connell. Mars was in jail on a one year sentence for trespassing and petty larceny and hadn't displayed violent tendencies until that morning when he killed his mother, something which catches Lloyd's attention. Starla's car was found abandoned a half mile away with no signs of either person. Lloyd and Shea are talking while Charlie is going over the case prompting the latter to ask what the problem is. Shea has an issue with the shoes he was given to wear. Charlie informs him Julianne got them for him and he will wear whatever she gets him. Starla lived in Montrose, New York with her parents, Perry and Sandra Roland. A call is placed to Mrs. Roland to find out where Starla's bank account is and, when she answers, it sounds like the phone is dropped and the line goes to a busy signal.
In Montrose, New York, Ray, Charlie and Lloyd arrive at the Roland home. When Charlie rings the bell, a woman calls for help. They draw their weapons and enter the house with caution and find Mrs. Roland on the floor. She is disabled and fell from her wheelchair when she answered the phone. Charlie helps her up and asks if he's there. She questions "who" leading Charlie to tell Ray they aren't there. Ray enters the room carrying photographs of Starla and Mars together and announces she isn't his hostage but his girlfriend.
In the car they now have, Starla is putting bullets in a gun and asking Mars what it will do. He heard it will take a man's head clean off. This excites Starla and the two kiss.
Charlie tells Sandra Roland that Starla is implicated in Mars' escape and is also an accessory to murder. She cannot believe Starla would do such a thing as she is a good girl. She tells them Starla is her step-daughter as her mother died years ago. She raised Starla as if she were her own and Starla even cared for her once she got sick. Mars changed Starla, she claims. Perry Roland arrives home and tells Charlie they won't talk to him without their lawyer and maintains his daughter is a good girl. When Ray says his wife tells a different story, Perry asks her what she said to them. She stresses again that Starla is a good girl but she gets involved with the wrong type. Her father writes it off to having a thing for bad boys but Sandra points out Mars wasn't like the other boys. Lloyd asks how long Starla and Mars dated before he was arrested and she tells them four weeks. She and her husband thought Mars' legal troubles would put an end to things but Starla only became more obsessed with him after his arrest. Perry Roland refuses to allow his wife to say anything further without their attorney.
At the office, Julie gives Shea and Erica the juvenile records of Mars O'Connell. Erica asks Julie what the situation is between she and Ray. Julie tells her they don't have a thing. Erica asks if Ray is available and, when Julie answers in the affirmative, she finds it interesting. Shea, who is reading Mars' records, reads off some of the charges. At eleven, he shot a neighbors cat with a BB gun. At thirteen, he was cited for making threatening phone calls to a teacher. At fifteen, he was arrested for burning down a homecoming float. Lloyd is reading over the records on his computer in the car with Ray and Charlie. He tells them it isn't about the crimes, it's what they tell them about Mars. He's a loner, aggression, dad isn't in the picture. He asks Julie if they know how Starla's mother died because that has to factor into things somehow. She's working on getting that information but it's proving difficult since she doesn't have a criminal record. Lloyd explains that some personalities, like molecules, react with one another, sometimes quickly and dramatically. He points out Charlie and Shea. He sees Starla as a passive female who finally defied her parents and went rebel and an aggressive male (Mars) finally crossed over to avert violence because she validates and encourages his basis fantasies. Ray asks Lloyd if he thinks there will be more bodies. Julie tells them Starla went to Pennsylvania and bought a gun two weeks ago. The answer to Ray's question is a 'yes'.
In Goshen, New York, Starla and Mars get out of the truck they have stolen and enter the Oasis Family Restaurant where the shooting starts almost immediately. When the team arrive, they survey the restaurant scene, including one dead victim. Erica, Shea and Lloyd watch the surveillance video while Charlie gives them details of the crime. Everyone ran as fast and far as they could so no one saw which way Starla and Mars went or what they were driving. Lloyd identifies Starla and Mars and spree killers. Ray questions how Mars could have made a girl like Starla, one who nurses her ailing step-mother, into a murderer. Lloyd says that makes it easier as Starla is a grown woman but she has cared for her step-mother the past 10 years. She's looking for a dominant male in the mold of her father that will take her away from everything. Erica asks Charlie if the man in the kitchen saw or heard anything. He looks at the surveillance tape and sees a man who ducks into the kitchen when the shooting starts. He and Ray do a search and find a man, Patrick Malloy, hiding in the bottom of a cabinet. Patrick and his wife were in the restaurant. He survived and she died. He isn't speaking and Charlie needs Lloyd to get him talking. Lloyd sits down with Patrick and tells him about the Nepalese egret which will flee its nest when crocodiles attack. It doesn't flee out of fear but because it knows if it stays to fight, it will die and any of its eggs that are left will have nothing to care for them. Lloyd tells Patrick he did the right thing as his children need him. Inside, Erica and Shea are still watching the surveillance video and she asks what Mars is looking at. Shea finds a stand of sight seeing pamphlets. Charlie and Lloyd enter the restaurant again with information from Patrick Malloy that Starla and Mars took his wife's keys and drove away in her car, a blue Rav4. Ray gets Julie working on the license plate. Starla said something about a "roll in the hay" when they were finished at the restaurant. Erica looks over the pamphlets and finds one for Highland Lakes Fairgrounds, where hay rides are offered.
At Highland Lakes Fairgrounds, in Highland Lakes, New Jersey, the team arrives and finds the blue Rav4 that was stolen in Goshen. Charlie takes Erica to flush Starla and Mars out leaving Shea behind, much to his irritation. He protests but Charlie tells him he needs him to stay there to cover the entrance and wait for backup. Ray and Lloyd arrive back at the office and Julie gives them everything she has Mars and Starla. Ray gives the information to Lloyd so he can find a pattern before they kill again, something Lloyd doesn't think will be possible as they'll kill when the opportunity presents itself. They'll need luck or will have to wait until Starla to turn on Mars. Ray makes it clear waiting isn't an option. When Lloyd sits down to begin reading, Julie asks him for advice. She wants to know if there is someone she feels strongly about and only had a brief window of opportunity to express those feelings, should she do it. Thinking she is meaning him, Lloyd encourages her to definitely do so. At the Fairgrounds, while sitting in the car, Shea remembers Charlie's warning that if any one of them tries to run, they all will go back to jail with double the time then gets out of the car. Inside, Charlie gives Erica a weapon, just in case, and as they investigate, they find the body of the winter superintendent. His wallet and key ring are missing and Starla and Mars are nowhere to be seen.
Starla and Mars are in the back seat of the winter superintendent's Volvo when a state policeman drives up behind them. He tells them they cannot park there and is shot. In the office, Ray, Julie and Lloyd watch the video from the patrolman's dashboard camera. They see him shot as he is standing next to the car. Charlie, Shea and Erica arrive to see the rest of the footage. Ray wants to stop the video but Lloyd insists they must watch it if they want to know what Starla and Mars are capable of. Mars puts the officer down on the hood of his car and aims his gun at the man's head while Starla looks on. A shot rings out startling everyone in the room and angering Ray who walks away. Charlie vows that Starla and Mars are going down.
Charlie brings news that the media is only reporting three of the four bodies to Starla and Mars' credit as they do not know about the winter superintendent at the fairgrounds. He hopes the two killers won't know the body has been discovered and they will use one of his stolen credit cards and reveal their location. Charlie makes it clear to a complaining Shea that the team must solve the case or he won't get his month for it. With the murder of the state patrolman, it's big news and there are a lot of law enforcement agencies working the case. Ray brings the information that the police cruiser was found sunk in a reservoir in New Jersey. No further stolen vehicles have been reported. Julie has compiled a list of Mars' known associates and one of them is Harry Lee Redding, someone he spent three weeks in a cell with while awaiting trial. Shea knew Redding from Sing Sing and confirms that Redding is a bad guy. Ray was the one who brought Redding in when he ran. Some of Redding's criminal habits match those of Starla and Mars. Ray knows Redding won't be happy to see him and Erica offers to go along. As Ray is pouring himself a cup of coffee in the break room, Julianne comes in to tell him she'll bring him a map to the prison. He tells her he doesn't need one. She steps close to him and gives him a kiss for luck. He asks what that was and she nervously tries to explain it until Charlie calls to Ray to hurry.
At Sing Sing Correctional Facility in Ossining, New York, Ray and Erica arrive to speak with Redding. He tells her if things get creepy to let him know. She says she can handle herself and will give him her "safe word" if she needs to even though it's something she's never needed to use. Redding doesn't want to see Ray at all but he doesn't seem none too displeased to see Erica. After a look from Redding, she turns to Ray and says "mango" (her safe word). Ray asks Redding about Mars but the Redding doesn't want to talk. Ray promises him if he talks to them, he will see to it Redding gets one hour a week Internet access and the guards will turn off the content filter. Redding tells them it sounds like Mars is writing a play book of his own. When they were in a cell together, Mars didn't have much personality but asked him a million questions about how he stayed on the run so long. He told Mars how to get easy cash, about hitting resorts in the off season, when the heat is hot to hold up for a while, to establish a routine then break it and if they're going to sit a while, pick someplace nice.
Starla and Mars are frolicking happily through a lavish home and Starla is wearing the nice clothes of one of the women who lives there. As they are playing around, in the living room, the residents of the home, a husband, his wife (Sima Fisher) and their son (Nathan McLeod) and daughter, are tied up with duct tape over their mouths.
In Wanaque, New Jersey, the slain police officers cruiser is being hauled out of the reservoir. The shotgun is missing from the rack. There are no reports of any stolen cars in the area. Ray notes this is a break in the routine and tells Charlie what he learned with Redding. Erica calls them over to see what she's been looking at. Citing what Redding said about finding someplace nice if they're going to sit a while, she points out there is a high-end subdivision within view of where the cruiser was dumped.
The team try to figure out which of the homes Starla and Mars would be in. There are some 2,000 doors in the area the police have to choose from. Shea starts naming places they should look and Charlie tells him to tell that information to everyone and he calls in the police. He starts to introduce Shea as "Shea Daniels" but Shea interrupts giving his last name as Huffnagle. Shea tells the police to to past a house with an alarm company sign out front, they want something nice and private so neighbors can't see a window being jimmied, look for fences and bad exterior lighting. And they must look for houses with no dead patches on the lawn because dead patches mean a dog.
Inside the house, Mars is walking around with the officers shotgun while he looks at a picture of the family that lives there. He lectures them about the social differences he's lived through compared to them while Starla plays with the daughter's hair. As he's talking, Starla says she thinks Haley (Holly Deveaux), the daughter, has something to say and removes the tape from the girls mouth. Haley begs them to take any of the "lots and lots of nice stuff" they want in the house and go. Mars tells them they aren't going yet as they have very special plans for them. Starla, who says she has errands to run, asks Haley's father (Brian J. Graham) where he put the keys to the Mercedes.
In the office, Julie finds information on how Starla's mother died. When Starla was eight years old, they were in an automobile accident. Their car was wedged under the cab of a semi. After Starla's mother died, they had to saw through her body just to get Starla out of the car. Lloyd isn't surprised Starla has a death fixation. A sound alerts Julie that someone used the fair superintendent's ATM card right inside their search area.
As Starla is exiting a store, two police cars stop in front of the store. She throws the keys to the Mercedes onto the ground, walks past the car and starts to leave the parking lot on foot. Shea, who is looking out the window of the car as the team arrives, alerts everyone that he sees Starla. As Charlie swerves into the parking lot, Shea jumps out of the car and runs to Starla and takes her to the ground. He and Erica hold onto Starla while Ray picks up the bags she was carrying. Charlie asks her where Mars is but she just jokes with him. Ray looks through her bags and finds some rope, bleach and a staple gun. He asks what they are up to but she only smiles at them.
The U.S. Marshalls have commandeered the storeroom of Kasey's Karpets in Wanaque, New Jersey and are holding Starla there. Lloyd is brought into the area in handcuffs and Charlie tells them they can release him. Lloyd tells Ray his plan is to play on Starla's guilt. Once the submissive partner is caught she will try to blame the other one, something Ray points out she hasn't done. Lloyd tells him to give it some time, which is something Ray says they don't have. He tells Lloyd to break the spell Starla is under.
At the house, Mars keeps looking out the window waiting for Starla to return. As the minutes pass, he gets more and more agitated. Haley starts talking to him telling him they have another car and he can go look for her saying maybe she took off. He tells her to shut up. Starla tells Lloyd she felt Mars' presence before she ever laid eyes on him. The second she heard his name she knew he was the one. Mars and Starla implies some kind of cosmic connection.
Shea knocks on the door of a house but receives no answer. He checks the mailbox to see if there is uncollected mail and Charlie sees this an searches Shea, leading to more tension between the two. The police chief drives up and tells Charlie they searched every house within a 10 block radius of the shopping plaza. Charlie suggests she may have driven there and dumped the car when the police showed up. The chief tells him they'll search a further radius and drives off.
Lloyd asks Starla about Mars killing his mother and she sits before him in silence. When he asks how she feels she tells him it was Mars' mother. He asks why the others deserved to die and she tells him they didn't deserve to live as they didn't have what it takes to survive. Only those with the strength to take a life deserve to have a life. Ray walks up and puts a picture down in front of Starla and tells her who the woman in the picture is. She turns away from him forcing him to walk around her so she's facing him. He tells her the woman is serving a life sentence for not stopping her husband from raping and murdering a string of college students 30 years ago. Each time she goes up for parole, she's denied. He tells her she'll be the same if she doesn't give up Mars. Lloyd asks Starla if she wants some water. She points to her glass and says "it's right here". He has to stand to fill her water glass. Lloyd takes Ray aside and tells him Starla will not turn on Mars as she isn't the submissive partner. Mars is the submissive partner and Starla is the one calling all the shots. The string of delinquent boyfriends she went through were auditions for potential killers. Mars, her monster, is scared, alone and desperate. Ray devises a plan, which he doesn't tell Lloyd about, even when asked, and tells Lloyd to keep an eye on Starla. He tells Starla that he will drag her up and down every street with a gun in her mouth and when Mars sees that, he'll come out to her.
At the house, Haley continues talking to Mars telling him it might be a good thing Starla is gone as he doesn't have to listen to her anymore. He tells them to all get up and go to the basement. When he yells again for them to get up, Haley tells him that maybe she's lost as the neighborhoods all look the same. Mars jerks her to her feet. Haley tells him again she's lost and if he does this without asking her, he should give her a little more time. He throws her back down and storms from the room in anger.
A door is slammed in Shea's face as Charlie gets a call from Julie that Ray has a plan. Ray puts Starla in the car with he and Lloyd. As Ray takes his phone out of his pocket, his handcuff keys fall out and onto the back floorboard. Starla gets the keys and unlocks her cuffs while Ray is talking on the phone to Charlie and as Lloyd is telling her about how her mother died and how every time she kills she relives the last moments she had with her mother. She reaches through the seats and takes hold of Ray's gun and orders him to drive as Lloyd seriously panics. She takes them to the house and as they are walking up to the door, Lloyd complains about the situation they are in and tells Ray to do something. Ray stops walking and tells her he will disarm her outside. She threatens to shoot him but Ray tells her she won't. Mars opens the door and says he will. They force Lloyd and Ray inside and Starla runs to Mars. They move them into the living room with the family and Ray tells them they will take the families places, something Lloyd protests. Starla orders them to get on their knees and keep their hands up as Mars watches on with a sick, worried look on his face. Lloyd tells Ray his death is on his hands. Starla orders Mars to kill both of them and he raises the rifle. Ray talks to Mars telling him they know everything was Starla's idea causing him to lower the gun. Starla again orders him to shoot but Ray tells her to do it herself. She tells him she will and moves around to Ray and raises his gun to his head. She pulls the trigger but the gun doesn't fire. It's empty. She yells it's a trap and orders Mars to shoot them. He raises the gun and is taken to the floor by Charlie. Erica grabs Starla who tries to run. As they are being cuffed and led away, Mars confesses that everything was Starla's idea and he didn't want to do any of it. Lloyd asks Ray what happened and Ray tells him he dropped the keys on purpose so she would lead them to Mars. He didn't tell Lloyd because he needed it to feel authentic and tries to reassure him that his gun wasn't loaded. Lloyd points out that Mars' gun was loaded. Ray tells him that's a fair criticism and walks away.
Shea goes to Charlie's office and tells him if it wasn't for him spotting Starla they never would have gotten to the family on time and that he's earned the right to not wear the shoes Julianne got for him. As he's leaving, Charlie tells him he doesn't distinguish between shades of color on the team. Shea tells him when he looks at him, the only color he sees is blue and as long as he gets his months off, that's cool.
Ray speaks to Julie about the kiss. They come to an understanding and he hugs her. Lloyd sees this and feels he should have known, as does Erica. Lloyd confronts Ray about how Ray used him. Ray admits he did and says Lloyd's panic helped sell the plan. Lloyd tells him he's not only using him but Julianne. That anyone can see she has feelings for him and he shouldn't dangle the relationship carrot in front of her face to get her to do good work. That is self-serving and damaging. The two men scuffle until Julianne comes in to say the van to Maybelle is waiting. When she leaves, Ray straights Lloyd's jacket and tells him to just buy her some flowers and keep him out of it.

Season One, Episode Seven, Fun With Chemistry
Original Air Date: April 17, 2011
The team is called into action when a man escapes prison after murdering his mother and taking a young woman hostage. As they work the case, they learn the young woman isn't really a hostage but instead, the escapees girlfriend. What is even more surprising is which of the two is the passive participant and which one is the aggressive. Meanwhile, both Julianne and Erica express interest in someone on the team.
It is visiting day at Wallkill Correctional Facility in Wallkill, New York. The families and loved ones of various prisoners have come to visit. One man, Barry, is visited for the first time by a girl he met online, Starla Roland. Another prisoner, Mars O'Connell (Rodney Eastman) is visited by his mother. Mars' mother had told him he wasn't her son anymore unless he apologized to her. Thinking she was there for that apology, she gently touches her sons face. He takes hold of her and puts a knife to her throat. He orders the guards to open the fence or he will cut her throat. When the guard gives him an ultimatum to release her or be shot, he apologizes to his mother then cuts her throat. He then takes Starla hostage and holds the bloody knife to her throat. The protect the children and families inside the gate, the guard orders the gates opened. Mars moves through the gate with Starla. He drags her to her car and orders her to drive away.
In the office, Charlie brings the cons up to speed on Marlin "Mars" O'Connell. Mars was in jail on a one year sentence for trespassing and petty larceny and hadn't displayed violent tendencies until that morning when he killed his mother, something which catches Lloyd's attention. Starla's car was found abandoned a half mile away with no signs of either person. Lloyd and Shea are talking while Charlie is going over the case prompting the latter to ask what the problem is. Shea has an issue with the shoes he was given to wear. Charlie informs him Julianne got them for him and he will wear whatever she gets him. Starla lived in Montrose, New York with her parents, Perry and Sandra Roland. A call is placed to Mrs. Roland to find out where Starla's bank account is and, when she answers, it sounds like the phone is dropped and the line goes to a busy signal.
In Montrose, New York, Ray, Charlie and Lloyd arrive at the Roland home. When Charlie rings the bell, a woman calls for help. They draw their weapons and enter the house with caution and find Mrs. Roland on the floor. She is disabled and fell from her wheelchair when she answered the phone. Charlie helps her up and asks if he's there. She questions "who" leading Charlie to tell Ray they aren't there. Ray enters the room carrying photographs of Starla and Mars together and announces she isn't his hostage but his girlfriend.
In the car they now have, Starla is putting bullets in a gun and asking Mars what it will do. He heard it will take a man's head clean off. This excites Starla and the two kiss.
Charlie tells Sandra Roland that Starla is implicated in Mars' escape and is also an accessory to murder. She cannot believe Starla would do such a thing as she is a good girl. She tells them Starla is her step-daughter as her mother died years ago. She raised Starla as if she were her own and Starla even cared for her once she got sick. Mars changed Starla, she claims. Perry Roland arrives home and tells Charlie they won't talk to him without their lawyer and maintains his daughter is a good girl. When Ray says his wife tells a different story, Perry asks her what she said to them. She stresses again that Starla is a good girl but she gets involved with the wrong type. Her father writes it off to having a thing for bad boys but Sandra points out Mars wasn't like the other boys. Lloyd asks how long Starla and Mars dated before he was arrested and she tells them four weeks. She and her husband thought Mars' legal troubles would put an end to things but Starla only became more obsessed with him after his arrest. Perry Roland refuses to allow his wife to say anything further without their attorney.
At the office, Julie gives Shea and Erica the juvenile records of Mars O'Connell. Erica asks Julie what the situation is between she and Ray. Julie tells her they don't have a thing. Erica asks if Ray is available and, when Julie answers in the affirmative, she finds it interesting. Shea, who is reading Mars' records, reads off some of the charges. At eleven, he shot a neighbors cat with a BB gun. At thirteen, he was cited for making threatening phone calls to a teacher. At fifteen, he was arrested for burning down a homecoming float. Lloyd is reading over the records on his computer in the car with Ray and Charlie. He tells them it isn't about the crimes, it's what they tell them about Mars. He's a loner, aggression, dad isn't in the picture. He asks Julie if they know how Starla's mother died because that has to factor into things somehow. She's working on getting that information but it's proving difficult since she doesn't have a criminal record. Lloyd explains that some personalities, like molecules, react with one another, sometimes quickly and dramatically. He points out Charlie and Shea. He sees Starla as a passive female who finally defied her parents and went rebel and an aggressive male (Mars) finally crossed over to avert violence because she validates and encourages his basis fantasies. Ray asks Lloyd if he thinks there will be more bodies. Julie tells them Starla went to Pennsylvania and bought a gun two weeks ago. The answer to Ray's question is a 'yes'.
In Goshen, New York, Starla and Mars get out of the truck they have stolen and enter the Oasis Family Restaurant where the shooting starts almost immediately. When the team arrive, they survey the restaurant scene, including one dead victim. Erica, Shea and Lloyd watch the surveillance video while Charlie gives them details of the crime. Everyone ran as fast and far as they could so no one saw which way Starla and Mars went or what they were driving. Lloyd identifies Starla and Mars and spree killers. Ray questions how Mars could have made a girl like Starla, one who nurses her ailing step-mother, into a murderer. Lloyd says that makes it easier as Starla is a grown woman but she has cared for her step-mother the past 10 years. She's looking for a dominant male in the mold of her father that will take her away from everything. Erica asks Charlie if the man in the kitchen saw or heard anything. He looks at the surveillance tape and sees a man who ducks into the kitchen when the shooting starts. He and Ray do a search and find a man, Patrick Malloy, hiding in the bottom of a cabinet. Patrick and his wife were in the restaurant. He survived and she died. He isn't speaking and Charlie needs Lloyd to get him talking. Lloyd sits down with Patrick and tells him about the Nepalese egret which will flee its nest when crocodiles attack. It doesn't flee out of fear but because it knows if it stays to fight, it will die and any of its eggs that are left will have nothing to care for them. Lloyd tells Patrick he did the right thing as his children need him. Inside, Erica and Shea are still watching the surveillance video and she asks what Mars is looking at. Shea finds a stand of sight seeing pamphlets. Charlie and Lloyd enter the restaurant again with information from Patrick Malloy that Starla and Mars took his wife's keys and drove away in her car, a blue Rav4. Ray gets Julie working on the license plate. Starla said something about a "roll in the hay" when they were finished at the restaurant. Erica looks over the pamphlets and finds one for Highland Lakes Fairgrounds, where hay rides are offered.
At Highland Lakes Fairgrounds, in Highland Lakes, New Jersey, the team arrives and finds the blue Rav4 that was stolen in Goshen. Charlie takes Erica to flush Starla and Mars out leaving Shea behind, much to his irritation. He protests but Charlie tells him he needs him to stay there to cover the entrance and wait for backup. Ray and Lloyd arrive back at the office and Julie gives them everything she has Mars and Starla. Ray gives the information to Lloyd so he can find a pattern before they kill again, something Lloyd doesn't think will be possible as they'll kill when the opportunity presents itself. They'll need luck or will have to wait until Starla to turn on Mars. Ray makes it clear waiting isn't an option. When Lloyd sits down to begin reading, Julie asks him for advice. She wants to know if there is someone she feels strongly about and only had a brief window of opportunity to express those feelings, should she do it. Thinking she is meaning him, Lloyd encourages her to definitely do so. At the Fairgrounds, while sitting in the car, Shea remembers Charlie's warning that if any one of them tries to run, they all will go back to jail with double the time then gets out of the car. Inside, Charlie gives Erica a weapon, just in case, and as they investigate, they find the body of the winter superintendent. His wallet and key ring are missing and Starla and Mars are nowhere to be seen.
Starla and Mars are in the back seat of the winter superintendent's Volvo when a state policeman drives up behind them. He tells them they cannot park there and is shot. In the office, Ray, Julie and Lloyd watch the video from the patrolman's dashboard camera. They see him shot as he is standing next to the car. Charlie, Shea and Erica arrive to see the rest of the footage. Ray wants to stop the video but Lloyd insists they must watch it if they want to know what Starla and Mars are capable of. Mars puts the officer down on the hood of his car and aims his gun at the man's head while Starla looks on. A shot rings out startling everyone in the room and angering Ray who walks away. Charlie vows that Starla and Mars are going down.
Charlie brings news that the media is only reporting three of the four bodies to Starla and Mars' credit as they do not know about the winter superintendent at the fairgrounds. He hopes the two killers won't know the body has been discovered and they will use one of his stolen credit cards and reveal their location. Charlie makes it clear to a complaining Shea that the team must solve the case or he won't get his month for it. With the murder of the state patrolman, it's big news and there are a lot of law enforcement agencies working the case. Ray brings the information that the police cruiser was found sunk in a reservoir in New Jersey. No further stolen vehicles have been reported. Julie has compiled a list of Mars' known associates and one of them is Harry Lee Redding, someone he spent three weeks in a cell with while awaiting trial. Shea knew Redding from Sing Sing and confirms that Redding is a bad guy. Ray was the one who brought Redding in when he ran. Some of Redding's criminal habits match those of Starla and Mars. Ray knows Redding won't be happy to see him and Erica offers to go along. As Ray is pouring himself a cup of coffee in the break room, Julianne comes in to tell him she'll bring him a map to the prison. He tells her he doesn't need one. She steps close to him and gives him a kiss for luck. He asks what that was and she nervously tries to explain it until Charlie calls to Ray to hurry.
At Sing Sing Correctional Facility in Ossining, New York, Ray and Erica arrive to speak with Redding. He tells her if things get creepy to let him know. She says she can handle herself and will give him her "safe word" if she needs to even though it's something she's never needed to use. Redding doesn't want to see Ray at all but he doesn't seem none too displeased to see Erica. After a look from Redding, she turns to Ray and says "mango" (her safe word). Ray asks Redding about Mars but the Redding doesn't want to talk. Ray promises him if he talks to them, he will see to it Redding gets one hour a week Internet access and the guards will turn off the content filter. Redding tells them it sounds like Mars is writing a play book of his own. When they were in a cell together, Mars didn't have much personality but asked him a million questions about how he stayed on the run so long. He told Mars how to get easy cash, about hitting resorts in the off season, when the heat is hot to hold up for a while, to establish a routine then break it and if they're going to sit a while, pick someplace nice.
Starla and Mars are frolicking happily through a lavish home and Starla is wearing the nice clothes of one of the women who lives there. As they are playing around, in the living room, the residents of the home, a husband, his wife (Sima Fisher) and their son (Nathan McLeod) and daughter, are tied up with duct tape over their mouths.
In Wanaque, New Jersey, the slain police officers cruiser is being hauled out of the reservoir. The shotgun is missing from the rack. There are no reports of any stolen cars in the area. Ray notes this is a break in the routine and tells Charlie what he learned with Redding. Erica calls them over to see what she's been looking at. Citing what Redding said about finding someplace nice if they're going to sit a while, she points out there is a high-end subdivision within view of where the cruiser was dumped.
The team try to figure out which of the homes Starla and Mars would be in. There are some 2,000 doors in the area the police have to choose from. Shea starts naming places they should look and Charlie tells him to tell that information to everyone and he calls in the police. He starts to introduce Shea as "Shea Daniels" but Shea interrupts giving his last name as Huffnagle. Shea tells the police to to past a house with an alarm company sign out front, they want something nice and private so neighbors can't see a window being jimmied, look for fences and bad exterior lighting. And they must look for houses with no dead patches on the lawn because dead patches mean a dog.
Inside the house, Mars is walking around with the officers shotgun while he looks at a picture of the family that lives there. He lectures them about the social differences he's lived through compared to them while Starla plays with the daughter's hair. As he's talking, Starla says she thinks Haley (Holly Deveaux), the daughter, has something to say and removes the tape from the girls mouth. Haley begs them to take any of the "lots and lots of nice stuff" they want in the house and go. Mars tells them they aren't going yet as they have very special plans for them. Starla, who says she has errands to run, asks Haley's father (Brian J. Graham) where he put the keys to the Mercedes.
In the office, Julie finds information on how Starla's mother died. When Starla was eight years old, they were in an automobile accident. Their car was wedged under the cab of a semi. After Starla's mother died, they had to saw through her body just to get Starla out of the car. Lloyd isn't surprised Starla has a death fixation. A sound alerts Julie that someone used the fair superintendent's ATM card right inside their search area.
As Starla is exiting a store, two police cars stop in front of the store. She throws the keys to the Mercedes onto the ground, walks past the car and starts to leave the parking lot on foot. Shea, who is looking out the window of the car as the team arrives, alerts everyone that he sees Starla. As Charlie swerves into the parking lot, Shea jumps out of the car and runs to Starla and takes her to the ground. He and Erica hold onto Starla while Ray picks up the bags she was carrying. Charlie asks her where Mars is but she just jokes with him. Ray looks through her bags and finds some rope, bleach and a staple gun. He asks what they are up to but she only smiles at them.
The U.S. Marshalls have commandeered the storeroom of Kasey's Karpets in Wanaque, New Jersey and are holding Starla there. Lloyd is brought into the area in handcuffs and Charlie tells them they can release him. Lloyd tells Ray his plan is to play on Starla's guilt.

US Television: Vampire Diaries, Episode 2.18 "The Last Dance"
Vampire Diaries
Season Two, Episode Eighteen, The Last Dance
Original Air Date: April 14, 2011
Klaus continues to inhabit Alaric's body and goes out to see Elena in person. The school is hosting a 60's themed dance and Klaus sends a message to Elena that he will be there. Stefan, Damon, Elena and Bonnie make plans to go after Klaus at the dance but they don't know he's in Alaric. Damon and Bonnie have a plan to kill Klaus that may be the the death of Bonnie--literally. Elena enacts a dangerous Plan B.
Klaus, inhabiting Alaric's body, goes through the closet to select something to wear and isn't impressed with the selection of clothing available to him. He asks Katherine for her opinion and she tells him the dark colors suit him better. He asks about the dagger and white ash and she tells him it was used to kill Elijah and he can be found in the Salvatore's basement. Klaus wants the dagger to stay exactly where it as as the last thing he wants to do is resurrect Elijah. Katherine reminds him that Alaric is on the outs with Jenna. He asks what else and she informs him that's it. He touches her hair and she shrinks away asking him to just kill her as she's told him all she knows. He believes that she believes that but wonders what they could be keeping from her. He looks into her eyes and asks her to tell him. She says they were wanting to see if there was a way Bonnie could kill an Original without the dagger. He questions that Katherine said Bonnie didn't have her powers any longer and she replies that Bonnie doesn't, or didn't, she isn't sure as she's out of the loop since he kidnapped her. Again, she begs him to kill her an be done with it. He tells her that since he spent 500 years searching for her, her death will last at least half that long. He holds out a knife and tells her he wants her to stab herself with it. She takes the knife and plunges it into her leg. He tells her to take it out. While he's gone, he wants her to do that over and over and over again. If she gets bored, switch legs. He's going to go see Elena. He kisses her lightly on the forehead and tells her to not look so glum as her fun is just beginning.
Elena signs the paperwork making her the sole owner of the Salvatore home. She tells Bonnie the house is all hers, for now, and she is the only person who can invite a certain type of person inside. Damon questions whether or not Bonnie can take on Klaus and Stefan says Bonnie feels she can channel enough witches power to kill him, something Elijah, an Original, thought would work. Damon asks if she can do a witch tracking spell to find Klaus. Stefan tells him she can't without something that belongs to Klaus. Damon asks his brother if he thinks Klaus killed Katherine. Stefan feels he probably has. When Mr. Henry, the man who oversaw the change-over of the Salvatore home to Elena, leaves, Stefan and Damon try to come inside and cannot. Elena cordially invites Stefan into the house. She turns to Damon and asks him if she lets him in does he promise to obey the owner of the house. When he says 'no', she tells him he promised she called the shots, no lies, no secret agendas. He agrees and she invites him into the house. When both brothers are inside, Elena puts her coat on and Stefan asks where she's going. She tells him to school and both Damon and Stefan tell her they didn't create a safe house for her to leave it. She appreciates what they're doing and can sleep well at night knowing she's safe there but she won't be a prisoner. Bonnie assures them that she's ready. If Klaus shows, she can take him. As she and Bonnie head out the door, Stefan tells them he's coming with them.
Matt arrives at the Forbes home and Liz tells him Caroline left early for school. He doesn't know what to do around Caroline and Liz tells him he can't let Caroline know that he knows. He asks about the dance Caroline wants him to take her to. Liz tells him to take her to the dance, something he feels he can't do as Caroline will figure him out. She warns him that if what Caroline said was true, she isn't the only one. The Salvatore brothers are vampires and the Gilbert family is in on it and Tyler Lockwood is god-knows-what (Matt kindly supplies werewolf). There isn't anyone in the town she can trust. She needs to take some time to figure out what to do. He again expresses doubts and Liz assures him that Caroline believes he doesn't remember anything. She asks him to buy her some time.
In class, Elena shows Stefan a poster for the 60's themed dance coming up and he shakes his head 'no'. She shows it to Bonnie who gives her a nod then turns back to Stefan with a smile. Alaric enters the classroom and asks what they are learning today. A girl in the front mentions they've been covering the 60's all week since there is a decade dance that night. He gets a look at Elena before turning to the board to write "the 60's". He turns around and starts mentioning things that happened in the 1960's and mentions "Watergate". Elena corrects him that was the 70's and calls him "Rick". When everyone looks at her she calls him "Mr. Saltzman".
Preparations are being made for that nights decade dance and Caroline arrives to help. She sees Matt and goes to talk to him. He kisses her and tells her he's just practicing for tonight. Jeremy asks Bonnie if she told anyone what it will take for her to do the Klaus spell. She hasn't and tells him he will tell no one, either. He tells her she can't do it since harnessing the power of 100 dead witches will kill her. She tells him she's going through with it and if he tells anyone. He interrupts her asking what she will do but she doesn't answer. Elena walks up and asks if he's alright at the house alone with John. She then asks about Jenna and he tells her it looks like she's staying on campus. He tells her he's late for class then leaves. Elena sits down and asks Bonnie what is going on. Bonnie explains that she told him he had to dress up tonight and he got uptight. Dana (Anna Enger) walks up to the table and tells Elena what she has to say will sound freaky but a totally hot guy wanted to know if she (Elena) was going to the dance that night. Bonnie tells her to tell the guy Elena has a boyfriend. Dana says Elena needs to look the guy up at the dance and tells her his name is Klaus. Bonnie asks Dana if he's there and she doesn't know, but he wants to know if Elena will save him the last dance. Bonnie knows Dana has been compelled.
Elena and Bonnie go back to the Salvatores with the news Dana brought her at lunch. Damon wants them to find Klaus at the dance but Stefan points out they don't even know what Klaus looks like. A knock sounds at the door and Alaric enters the house. Damon tells him to put him down as a chaperon at the dance as Klaus has made his first move. Elena asks what the plan of attack is once they find Klaus. Bonnie speaks that up that she's the plan as he has no idea how much power she can channel. She assures them if they can find him, she can kill him. Alaric says it won't be easy as Klaus is the biggest, baddest vampire around. Damon agrees and moves towards Bonnie who extends her hand and knocks him back impressing everyone in the room. Bonnie says it doesn't matter if Klaus is an Original, she can take down anyone who comes at her.
Klaus returns to Katherine, who has been stabbing herself, saying that Bonnie is aiming to kill. He tells Maddox (Gino Anthony Pesi) they are going to have to kill her. Under a false bottom in one of Alaric's clothes drawers he finds crossbows, wooden bullets and automatics. He removes a crossbow from the drawer and asks Katherine who Alaric is again and she tells him he's the local vampire hunter. Klaus tells Maddox he wants him to take Bonnie out at the dance that night but Maddox warns him if she has a great deal of power she can sense him coming from a mile away and can't get near her. Klaus will have to kill her himself. Maddox warns him that no witch can handle channeling that much power and it will kill Bonnie. He has to make her use it. All he must do is keep attacking her until it kills her. Alaric's body will last longer than Bonnie's as he (Maddox) can help him with a protection spell.
That night, Caroline is ready to go to the dance when her mother arrives home. Caroline asks her mother if everything is alright and Liz writes it off to work stress. Matt arrives to take Caroline to the dance and Liz wishes them fun.
Elena and Stefan are getting ready to go to the dance and he tells her it isn't too late to back out. She admits she had all but convinced herself Klaus wasn't real. Stefan tells her they will put an end to him that night. She kisses him and tells him she loves him. He remarks that he wants her to tell him that when the nights over.
At the dance, Alaric moves through the crowd of students casually. He stops to talk with Dana and her date, Chad. He asks them if he and his friends would like to earn a little extra credit. Outside the dance, Jeremy stops Bonnie and takes off his Gilbert ring telling her he wants her to have it. She jokes but he's serious. She tells him the ring won't work on him. When he comments it was made by a witch she says it was, yes, but to protect from the supernatural not for someone who is. He feels he must do something but she tells him because a bunch of dead witches gave her a warning doesn't mean she will die. She says she can't explain it but she can feel them. She's in power and she knows she can do it. As they hug, she sees Damon arriving over Jeremy's shoulder. She says his name and he replies 'evening' and walks away. Elena and Stefan arrive and the two girls embrace.
Inside, Dana is on the stage and tells the crowed there is a special shout out that night for Elena from Klaus. Elena says she knows everyone there. Damon suggests they should blend and let him come to them, something Bonnie agrees with. She drags Jeremy onto the dance floor despite his protests. Damon sees Alaric and goes to speak with him leaving Elena with Stefan. Alaric comments about the message from Klaus and Damon says he isn't impressed then tells Alaric to let him know if he sees anything out of whack and moves through the crowd. Elena sees Caroline arrive and says they have to tell her what's going on. Stefan says he's on it and motions for Damon to come watch over Elena. He and Elena start dancing. Caroline takes Matt onto the dance floor and he looks at her strangely. Stefan steps up to them and asks if he can steal Caroline for a minute. Matt says he doesn't and goes to get them something to drink. Stefan tells her Klaus is there and to keep her eyes open for anything weird. Damon steps into the dance between Jeremy and Bonnie. When Jeremy has gone, Bonnie asks him if he heard her and Jeremy talking. He asks if it's true and she confirms it. He asks if she'd lay everything on the line for Elena and with all that power if there isn't a way to increase her odds. She tells him he should be careful as she might start to think he actually cares. Jeremy and Elena watch Damon and Bonnie dancing and she asks what they are up to. Jeremy says 'who knows' and she asks if he's fine. He throws his cup down and walks away.
In the hallway, Stefan catches up to Jeremy telling him Elena thinks they should all stick together. He tells Stefan he's fine as he has his ring but Stefan knows there's a problem. Jeremy tells him about Bonnie. He asks Stefan what he's supposed to do.
Everyone is having fun at the dance when Elena tells Bonnie they need to talk to her. Damon, who is on the dancefloor, over hears Elena. Stefan accosts Damon on the dancefloor and asks if he knew Bonnie was on a suicide mission. Stefan has told Elena and he tells Damon he promised no more secrets. Damon changed his mind. Elena is angry and tells Bonnie it isn't an option, which Bonnie remarks is their only option. Elena wants to find another way. Bonnie asks if the situation was reversed, would Elena do it for her. Her lack of an answer is all Bonnie needs. Elena still tells her 'no'
Chad, and two of his friends accost Jeremy in the school hallway and pick a fight with him. The three of them gang up on Jeremy and give him a pretty good beating. Damon and Stefan run to Jeremy's defense and one of Chad's friends shoots Damon in the shoulder with an arrow using Alaric's bow. The other two also have some of Alaric's weapons. Stefan and Damon get the upper hand knowing Klaus has compelled the boys. Damon wants to kill them but Stefan tells him not to as it's a distraction. He sends Damon to find Bonnie and Elena while he takes care the boys.
Outside, Alaric goes up to Bonnie and Elena and tells them Klaus has Jeremy and to follow him, which they do. Elena feels something isn't right and Bonnie asks where Jeremy is. Alaric stops walking and starts talking about preferring the 20's over the 60's. Elena asks Alaric if he's on vervain. He says "I am not Alaric." and Elena figures out it is Klaus in Alaric's body. He tells Elena he's not there to hurt her as she isn't on his hit list that night and looks to Bonnie and tells her she is. He flies toward her and she knocks him back. He tells her he knows a witch and she's going to have to hit him a lot harder than that. She does and throws him down the hallway and into a sports display case. Again, he gets up telling her to fire away because if she kills that body he will get a new one. Bonnie tells Elena to run and the girls take off. Bonnie closes the doors behind them and they meet with Damon in the hall. Elena tells him Klaus is in Alaric's body. He tells Elena to find Stefan now. When she's gone he asks Bonnie if she can kil him and she tells him he has a protection spell. He tells her she's got the power of 100 witches and she should break it. She says she's trying but if she kills Alaric he'll possess someone else. She knows that Klaus is trying to kill her because she has her powers. He tells her Klaus does not win that night and asks if she's still willing to do whatever it takes to kill him. She nods her head.
Elena re-enters the party to search for Stefan and Caroline sees her frantically searching and asks if she's alright. As she's with Matt, Elena tells her she is and says she's looking for Stefan. Caroline asks what's wrong. Elena tells her to stay with Matt. When she sees Stefan, Elena runs to him.
Bonnie opens the doors to the school hall and walks down to the end and into a room. Alaric is sitting there waiting for her with a knife in his hands. He asks what took her so long and if she wants to do it the easy or hard way. She breaks his hand causing the knife to fall to the floor. He stands and says "the hard way, got it". She continues inflicting pain and injury to Alaric's body and Klaus asks if she'd kill her favorite history teacher. She replies it is what Alaric would want and he'd want Klaus to suffer first. Her nose is starting to bleed and he makes comment of her condition asking if that's all she's got. She says let's find out.
Elena and Stefan meet Damon in the hall and she asks where Bonnie is. Damon tells them she's doing what she has to do. Stefan asks where she is and Damon tells him to let her do this. Again, Stefan asks where she is.
Bonnie takes Alarics knees out and he falls to the floor. Papers fly off the boards around him and the lights flicker. He tries to get to his feet again and she puts him down yet again. Elena and Stefan run through the hall toward the room where Bonnie is confronting Klaus. When they reach the room, Elena screams "Bonnie, no!" as Bonnie sees her friends and closes the door so they cannot enter. She attacks Alaric two more times and looks back to Elena who, along with Stefan, is beating on the doors trying to get into the room. Alaric gets to his feet and Bonnie crumples to the floor. The doors open and Stefan and Elena run to her. As Elena is seeing to her friend, Stefan looks around the room and Alaric/Klaus is nowhere to be found. Elena cannot find a pulse on Bonnie and she isn't breathing. Elena begs Stefan to give Bonnie blood but he tells her it is too late. Elena keeps begging for her friends life as Damon steps into the doorway. He tells Stefan to get Elena out of there and he'll deal with the body. Elena angrily asks "what you do mean 'deal with it'". He tells her the sheriff can't know about it. Damon demands Stefan to get Elena home now and let him clean it up. Stefan helps Elena to her feet and she starts saying Jeremy's name. Damon tells her he'll find him. When they are gone, Damon closes Bonnie's eyes. Damon delicately places Bonnie's body in the trunk of his car as Jeremy comes running up to him. He asks where Elena and Bonnie are. Damon tells him they need to have a little talk.
At home, Elena blames herself for Bonnie's death. Stefan tells her it was Klaus; he did it. Damon arrives home and Elena asks what he did with Bonnie. He tells Stefan to calm her down. He tells her to calm down. She asks if he knew Bonnie would die if she harnessed all the power and he admits he did. She slaps him. He looks at her sternly and tells her she needs to listen to him and prepare for what he's about to say. As Damon talks to Elena, Jeremy is at the old plantation home with Bonnie's body which is on the floor surrounded by candles. Damon tells Elena Bonnie had to die. Klaus using Alaric's body was a surprise and she wasn't prepared for that. He wasn't going to stop and they weren't going to be able to stop him until he knew Bonnie was dead. He had to believe it. As Jeremy is lighting more candles, Bonnie awakens. He goes to her and takes her in his arms. Damon continues telling Elena that Bonnie cast a spell and she's alright. He turns and walks away.
Stefan goes after Damon and tells him he could have told him to which Damon replies how can he know when Stefan will go blabbing things to his girlfriend. Stefan asks if Damon understands what he put Elena through. Damon says that's why he never told him because Stefan wouldn't have been able to do it. Damon tells him he doesn't mind being the bad guy and making all the life and death decisions while Stefan worries about collateral damage. He'll even let Elena hate him for it. At the end of the day, Damon will be the one to keep Elena alive.
Jeremy asks Bonnie if she's sure it is safe at the old plantation and she is. He hooks Internet up to a laptop and she tells him he doesn't need to stay there with her. He tells her he won't let her out of his sight. She asks him to talk to Elena for her. Tell her how sorry she is for what she and Damon had to do. Jeremy pulls Elena on video up on his computer and tells Bonnie to tell her herself. Bonnie tearfully apologizes to Elena and her friend readily forgives as she just needed to see Bonnie's face to know she's truly alright.
Later, Elena goes to see Damon and he again tells her Klaus had to think Bonnie was dead and her reaction had to be real. She tells him she understands why he did what he did. She wants to get one thing straight with Damon: she will not let Bonnie die for her. He tells her they need to kill Klaus--the real Klaus--who he feels will probably be coming to pay Elena a visit now that he knows Bonnie is dead. Damon tells Elena that Bonnie is the only one who can do it. She insists they'll find another way and he replies that he hopes so. She tells him she shouldn't have hit him and he says "apology accepted. Damon wants to be clear about something: if it comes down to her and the witch again, he'll gladly let Bonnie die. He will always choose Elena. She tells him goodnight and leaves his room.
Elena goes to the basement where Elijah is and opens the door. She removes the dagger from his body and sits back against the wall

Season Two, Episode Eighteen, The Last Dance
Original Air Date: April 14, 2011
Klaus continues to inhabit Alaric's body and goes out to see Elena in person. The school is hosting a 60's themed dance and Klaus sends a message to Elena that he will be there. Stefan, Damon, Elena and Bonnie make plans to go after Klaus at the dance but they don't know he's in Alaric. Damon and Bonnie have a plan to kill Klaus that may be the the death of Bonnie--literally. Elena enacts a dangerous Plan B.
Klaus, inhabiting Alaric's body, goes through the closet to select something to wear and isn't impressed with the selection of clothing available to him. He asks Katherine for her opinion and she tells him the dark colors suit him better. He asks about the dagger and white ash and she tells him it was used to kill Elijah and he can be found in the Salvatore's basement. Klaus wants the dagger to stay exactly where it as as the last thing he wants to do is resurrect Elijah. Katherine reminds him that Alaric is on the outs with Jenna. He asks what else and she informs him that's it. He touches her hair and she shrinks away asking him to just kill her as she's told him all she knows. He believes that she believes that but wonders what they could be keeping from her. He looks into her eyes and asks her to tell him. She says they were wanting to see if there was a way Bonnie could kill an Original without the dagger. He questions that Katherine said Bonnie didn't have her powers any longer and she replies that Bonnie doesn't, or didn't, she isn't sure as she's out of the loop since he kidnapped her. Again, she begs him to kill her an be done with it. He tells her that since he spent 500 years searching for her, her death will last at least half that long. He holds out a knife and tells her he wants her to stab herself with it. She takes the knife and plunges it into her leg. He tells her to take it out. While he's gone, he wants her to do that over and over and over again. If she gets bored, switch legs. He's going to go see Elena. He kisses her lightly on the forehead and tells her to not look so glum as her fun is just beginning.
Elena signs the paperwork making her the sole owner of the Salvatore home. She tells Bonnie the house is all hers, for now, and she is the only person who can invite a certain type of person inside. Damon questions whether or not Bonnie can take on Klaus and Stefan says Bonnie feels she can channel enough witches power to kill him, something Elijah, an Original, thought would work. Damon asks if she can do a witch tracking spell to find Klaus. Stefan tells him she can't without something that belongs to Klaus. Damon asks his brother if he thinks Klaus killed Katherine. Stefan feels he probably has. When Mr. Henry, the man who oversaw the change-over of the Salvatore home to Elena, leaves, Stefan and Damon try to come inside and cannot. Elena cordially invites Stefan into the house. She turns to Damon and asks him if she lets him in does he promise to obey the owner of the house. When he says 'no', she tells him he promised she called the shots, no lies, no secret agendas. He agrees and she invites him into the house. When both brothers are inside, Elena puts her coat on and Stefan asks where she's going. She tells him to school and both Damon and Stefan tell her they didn't create a safe house for her to leave it. She appreciates what they're doing and can sleep well at night knowing she's safe there but she won't be a prisoner. Bonnie assures them that she's ready. If Klaus shows, she can take him. As she and Bonnie head out the door, Stefan tells them he's coming with them.
Matt arrives at the Forbes home and Liz tells him Caroline left early for school. He doesn't know what to do around Caroline and Liz tells him he can't let Caroline know that he knows. He asks about the dance Caroline wants him to take her to. Liz tells him to take her to the dance, something he feels he can't do as Caroline will figure him out.

At home, Elena blames herself for Bonnie's death. Stefan tells her it was Klaus; he did it. Damon arrives home and Elena asks what he did with Bonnie. He tells Stefan to calm her down. He tells her to calm down. She asks if he knew Bonnie would die if she harnessed all the power and he admits he did. She slaps him. He looks at her sternly and tells her she needs to listen to him and prepare for what he's about to say. As Damon talks to Elena, Jeremy is at the old plantation home with Bonnie's body which is on the floor surrounded by candles. Damon tells Elena Bonnie had to die. Klaus using Alaric's body was a surprise and she wasn't prepared for that. He wasn't going to stop and they weren't going to be able to stop him until he knew Bonnie was dead. He had to believe it. As Jeremy is lighting more candles, Bonnie awakens. He goes to her and takes her in his arms. Damon continues telling Elena that Bonnie cast a spell and she's alright. He turns and walks away.
Stefan goes after Damon and tells him he could have told him to which Damon replies how can he know when Stefan will go blabbing things to his girlfriend. Stefan asks if Damon understands what he put Elena through. Damon says that's why he never told him because Stefan wouldn't have been able to do it. Damon tells him he doesn't mind being the bad guy and making all the life and death decisions while Stefan worries about collateral damage. He'll even let Elena hate him for it. At the end of the day, Damon will be the one to keep Elena alive.
Jeremy asks Bonnie if she's sure it is safe at the old plantation and she is. He hooks Internet up to a laptop and she tells him he doesn't need to stay there with her. He tells her he won't let her out of his sight. She asks him to talk to Elena for her. Tell her how sorry she is for what she and Damon had to do. Jeremy pulls Elena on video up on his computer and tells Bonnie to tell her herself. Bonnie tearfully apologizes to Elena and her friend readily forgives as she just needed to see Bonnie's face to know she's truly alright.
Later, Elena goes to see Damon and he again tells her Klaus had to think Bonnie was dead and her reaction had to be real. She tells him she understands why he did what he did. She wants to get one thing straight with Damon: she will not let Bonnie die for her. He tells her they need to kill Klaus--the real Klaus--who he feels will probably be coming to pay Elena a visit now that he knows Bonnie is dead. Damon tells Elena that Bonnie is the only one who can do it. She insists they'll find another way and he replies that he hopes so. She tells him she shouldn't have hit him and he says "apology accepted. Damon wants to be clear about something: if it comes down to her and the witch again, he'll gladly let Bonnie die. He will always choose Elena. She tells him goodnight and leaves his room.
Elena goes to the basement where Elijah is and opens the door. She removes the dagger from his body and sits back against the wall

US Television: Hawaii Five-O, Episode 1.20 "Ma Ke Kahakai (Shore)"
Hawaii Five-O
Season One, Episode Twenty, Ma Ke Kahakai (Shore)
Original Air Date: April 11, 2011
McGarrett and Danny go hiking in the mountains but get more than they bargain for when they find a dead boy. The investigation takes Five-O into a possible connection to drug running via fishing boats. Things become complicated when the evidence leads them to a runaway suspect in the murder of a college girl. Meanwhile, Kono and Chin Ho must deal with the impending death of their Auntie Mele. For Chin, the situation is even more tense because of his past troubles with the police department.
Danny and McGarrett are hiking in the Ko'Olau Mountain Range in O'ahu, a place McGarrett's father brought him every year as a child. They're there to see the petroglyphs which Danny says is a fancy name for graffiti etched in rocks. McGarrett gets Danny to stop talking for a bit so they can enjoy the breathtaking view around them. He tells Danny he found another envelope on his doorstep yesterday morning containing an old matchbook that used to be in his father's toolbox. Danny asks if he thinks Wo Fat sent it but McGarrett isn't sure. Steve insists he's going to find out what the final case his father was working on was. Danny doesn't think that explains why someone keeps sending the case evidence back to McGarrett. Steve thinks someone might be trying to lead him back to Wo Fat. Or, as Danny suggests, Wo Fat is trying to lure Steve McGarrett. They continue walking until they reach the petroglyphs and McGarrett explains them to Danny. McGarrett becomes interested in something over Danny's shoulder and goes to the edge of the rocks. Someone is at the bottom. Steve takes off his pack and calls to the person. When there is no answer, he takes a rope from his pack and repels down to find the man is dead.
Upon closer examination, McGarrett finds the man has a gunshot wound with very little blood. Danny looks around and finds no action or sign of struggle and suggests someone dumped him which McGarrett thinks was from a plane or helicopter. Steve moves out of the way so Danny can take a picture of the man then tells Steve to come back up so they can call the crime scene unit. Steve needs Danny to take up the slack in the rope as he climbs up. As Steve is making his way back up to Danny, a large rock breaks free and hits him in the face knocking him to the rocks below with the dead man. Danny calls to his friend who is on his stomach looking over the rock cliffs. Danny tells him not to move but Steve insists he's good and manages to sit up, although he thinks his arm is broken. He asks Danny to send the rope down but it is snagged on a branch. There isn't any cell service where they are and Steve tells Danny he has to reach the summit before he can call a Medivac team. Before leaving, Danny throws Steve's pack down and tells him not to move. Steve gives his friend one last warning to be careful as the mountain is really steep.
When Danny leaves, Steve takes a knife from his pack and cuts his shirt sleeve back to get a better look at his arm which is indeed broken. He grabs a nearby stick and breaks it off then tapes it to his arm for a splint. Danny runs up the mountain a way then stops to check for service, which he doesn't have then continues on up. Steve takes his cell phone from his pack and turns the recorder on and begins making notes about the dead man in front of him. He has a small caliber gunshot, through and through. He sees something unusual around the exit wound and, upon further investigation, finds they are fish scales.
At Five-O Headquarters, Kono is talking on the phone, visibly upset. After she hangs up, she goes to Chin Ho's office to tell him their Auntie Mele (Elizabeth Sung) is in hospice as her kidney's are shutting down. Chin Ho doesn't know if it's a good idea for him to go by and she tells him if he's worried about what their Uncle Keako (Sab Shimono) will think, don't. He called and made her promise to bring Chin Ho by the house that night. A call from Danny comes in and Chin Ho answers. Danny tells them about Steve's injury. Chin Ho triangulates their coordinates off the cell phone signal and tells Danny he will contact Army EVAC. Kono gets their location and Danny adds they need a crime scene unit as soon as possible as well because they found a body. He sends her the picture he took of the body and she tells him she'll run the picture through the system for a possible I.D. Chin Ho returns to tell Danny the EVAC chopper is on its way and Danny tells them he's heading back.
Steve looks upward as the sound of thunder erupts. When Danny returns he tells Steve Army EVAC is on its way. Steve is worried that if it starts raining the mountain will turn into a big mudslide. Danny is going to go down and untangle the rope and bring it to Steve. Slowly, he makes his way down and manages to get the rope untangled. Steve grabs hold of the rope and secures it to his climbing gear. Using his one good arm to help him, he climbs the rocks as Danny pulls on the rope from above. As Steve makes it to the top with Danny, the Army EVAC chopper, with Chin Ho on board, comes into view. A man comes down and prepares McGarrett to go back to the chopper then the two go up as Steve thanks Danny. Danny returns the thanks by pointing to himself, drawing a heart in the air then pointing to Steve.
Chin Ho and Danny return to Five-O headquarters where Chin Ho tells Kono Steve shattered his forearm and got some nasty gashes from the fall. Kono has gotten an I.D. on the body, Jack Leung (Joji Yoshida), who was 53-year-old and worked a fishing boat with his son, Sean (James Kyson Lee). Danny has an evidence bag of fish scales that were found around the gunshot wound and says the fishing boat would explain those. Chin Ho speculates since they were found around the wound they might have been transferred pre-body dump. Danny theorizes if they could identify the scales they might get close to their primary crime scene. Chin Ho as a friend who is an ichthyologist at the University and might be able to help. Jack Leung was a law-abiding citizen until three days prior when he was arrested on charges of assaulting another fishboat captain, Sal Groves (Evan Jones) at the docks. Sal Groves is also a licensed helicopter pilot.
Danny, Chin Ho and Kono go to Pier 36 in Honolulu Harbor. Danny asks Kono to speak with Leung's son, Sean, while he and Chin Ho speak with Groves. When Kono finds Sean Leung, he is teaching a young boy how to tie a knot. Kono identifies herself as and officer and Sean sends the boy elsewhere to work on the knot. She tells him his father was found that morning. He tells her the last time he saw his father was yesterday when the older Leung took the boat out for a short run and got in some nice fish Sean was able to take to market. When she asks if he saw anything unusual he mentions finding his laptop on. His father rarely used cell phones or computers. She asks about Jack's altercation with Groves and Sean admits his father wouldn't say anything to him as he didn't want his son to get involved as he said he was taking care of it.
Danny and Chin Ho find Sal Groves on his boat. When Chin Ho raises his badge and identifies them as Five-O and orders him to cut his engines he revs them up to make a run for it. Danny and Chin Ho take off running and jump onto the boat as it comes near the docks. They draw their weapons and order Groves to put his hands up, which he does. Danny tells Groves to sit with him while Chin Ho searches the boat to which Groves says he can't search without a warrant. Chin Ho enters the boat with Groves yelling to him. Danny shows Groves a picture of Jack Leung and tells him they found him dead that morning. Groves tells Danny Leung attacked him. Chin Ho remarks he's got something and returns carrying a gun and a large bag containing crystal meth, both of which Groves maintains do not belong to him. Chin Ho tells him if he talks with them and cooperates, they might be able to take down the big fish in the drug bust before they can find him (Groves) and kill him. Reluctantly, Groves agrees. He tells them Leung wouldn't go along with the drug business that was going on. The fishing boats pick up drugs from container ships. The men they were dealing with didn't like that Leung wouldn't cooperate and told Groves he had to get Leung in or they would take the business elsewhere. While he admits he might have hit him a couple of times with a baseball bat, he insists he didn't kill Leung. Chin Ho states that Leung found out about the drugs and threatened to call police. Groves says "no, he just didn't want his kid involved". Chin Ho tells him they will run the gun to see if it matches the one that killed Leung, then takes Groves in.
At headquarters, Danny is uncertain if Groves is the killer or not as his GPS put him 50 miles out to see at the time and the bank owns the helicopter Groves used to have. From Leung's computer, Kono was able to find browsing history on the Jordan Rutherford case. Two months prior, Jordan Rutherford was accused of strangling Vicki Hailama during spring break but disappeared the day he became a suspect. She brings up a news story regarding the Hailama family press conference. Chin Ho arrives with an identification on the fish scales: etelis carbunculus or uhu as the locals know it. The fish are rare and only one load of them were sold that day and they came from Leung's boat. Danny says Leung was killed on his own boat while Groves was off catching tuna. Chin was able to track the fish to a new restaurant. He was thinking the killer may have left some evidence on the fish. Kono's phone rings. When she finishes the conversation, she goes back to Chin to tell him Auntie Mele will not make it through the night. Danny tells them to go as Steve is on his way back and they will go see about the fish.
In Kaneohe Bay in Windward, Oahu, Kono and Chin arrive at the home of their aunt and uncle. Everyone stops talking and looks at Chin when he walks through the door. Their uncle comes downstairs and looks at Chin then embraces Kono. He turns to Chin and extends his hand and the two men shake hands. He tells them Auntie Mele is in the bedroom and heavily sedated but she will be happy to see them. They go in to see her and when Chin sits down on her beside, she looks to him and tells him she's so glad he came. She asks Chin to promise her he will look after Uncle when she's gone, which he does. Uncle comes in and tells Chin he needs to talk to him. Chin tells his aunt he will be back, kisses her cheek then leaves with his uncle. When the men have gone, Mele tells Kono is it up to her to make the thing between Uncle and Chin Ho right. Kono looks up to see the men talking across the hall and tells her aunt Chin won't talk to her about it. Mele tells her everything was fine between them until she got sick and then Chin was dismissed from the force. Kono asks if she thinks those two things are related and her aunt admits she's afraid to ask. Kono can hear the men talking in the other room and looks up again.
Kamekona picks Steve up from King's Medical Center but had to stop to pick up ice first as there was a "big sale" on it.
As Kono and Chin are driving back from seeing their aunt, she tells him their aunt knows the thing between he and Uncle has something to do with him being kicked off the force and that she heard them arguing about money. He tells her she heard wrong. She thinks it was Uncle who took the money from the locker and Chin Ho took the fall but she hasn't figured out why yet. He tells her to drop it and she pulls the car over. He implores him not to lie to her now and asks if she's right or not. After a moment, he tells her that Auntie got sick and needed a kidney but it is hard to get on the transplant list there in the islands. Kono mentions she did get a kidney, though. He tells her she didn't get it how Uncle said she did. Uncle knew people in China who were able to get Auntie a kidney on the black market but no one in the family had that kind of money. Chin didn't know Uncle was going to take the money but he did what he had to do. She asks why he took the fall. He questions what he was supposed to do; watch Uncle go to jail. Crying, she tells him he's a cop and is supposed to tell the truth. He says sometimes things aren't so simple. He promised Uncle that Auntie would be shielded from everything and he kept his promise. Kono tells him when Auntie passes he will tell the truth and asks if that is what Uncle wants. He admits it is but wonders what good it will do. He's finally found a home with Five-O and whatever happened, happened.
At Morimoto's restaurant, Steve and Danny arrive to speak with Chef Morimoto (Masaharu Morimoto), who is singing karaoke. They introduce themselves and ask to see the fish they purchased that morning. Morimoto takes them to the kitchen and opens the container of fish. Steve volunteers Danny to look through them as he can't get his cast wet. Danny puts on a pair of gloves as Steve tells him to be thorough and check every fish in the box. Danny takes the fish out of the box one by one and eventually comes to one with a bullet hole in it. Steve digs the bullet out of the fish so Danny can get it to the lab.
McGarrett arrives back at headquarters and tells her he and Danny recovered a fired round from a .38, the same caliber as Groves gun, and ballistics is running it through as they speak. She shows him evidence the lab found traces of jet fuel on Leung's shoes, clothing and skin. The skin absorption rate indicates he came into contact with it hours before his death. It is a new bio fuel and only one airstrip on the island uses it. The lab traced it back High Blue Jet Charters. Their web site says they "fly everywhere" including, as Steve points out, remote locations where you can dump a body.
At High Blue Jet Charters in Waialua, North Shore, Danny and Steve show the owner a picture of Leung. He recognizes him and says he worked there on the graveyard shift doing refueling and maintenance. He said he wanted to earn extra money and was always talking about his son and their fishing boat. He worked last night. Steve asks if anything out of the ordinary happened last night and he said Leung wanted to use the computer in the office regarding a flight manifest. He says the ground crew sometimes gets interested in the people using the planes but they didn't have any VIP's come through last night. When they look in Leung's locker, Danny finds a flight manifest. The manifest is for a jet owned by the Lotus Leaf Holding Company doing a one-way charter to Hong Kong for one passenger of which there is no name.
At headquarters, Chin finds information on Lotus Leaf Holding Company. It is several companies folded into one. It looks like an import outfit with real estate holdings as well. The primary on the corporation papers is Donald Rutherford (Wayne Duvall), the father of Jordan Rutherford. Kono arrives with the ballistics report on the .38 from the fish. It wasn't from Groves' gun. It came from a gun sold at Ace Gun & Rifle, the owner is an ex-cop who registers the ballistics profile of every gun he sells. The buyer was Donald Rutherford. Steve tells them about the manifest he and Danny found and that he believes it was Jordan Rutherford on the plane. Donald Rutherford followed Leung back to his boat and killed him to keep his son's secret safe.
Steve and Danny arrive at the Rutherford House on Diamond Head. They ring the bell and Steve informs Rutherford they are from Five-O and would like a word. He tells them he'll be right down but after they wait for a few seconds, Danny asks if Steve thinks he's running. He does and kicks the front door in. They enter the house, guns drawn and Steve calls out to Rutherford. Their search doesn't turn him up but doors and windows are locked and shut so he must still be in the house. Steve goes to the truck and gets a heat-sensing device and they search the house again. They find he is in an underground room beneath the basement. Danny opens the door while Steve stands, gun-ready for whatever they find. They see stairs and Steve walks down them into an underground room where Donald Rutherford is waiting with his gun raised. Steve orders him to put the gun down and turns the lights on. Rutherford refuses to comply and tells them they have no idea how hard it is to see their sons name dragged through the papers and have him hunted. Steve puts his gun away and he and Danny tell Rutherford about Leung and how he took on a second job to take care of his son. Rutherford admits that after weeks of hiding his son and trying to get him out he wasn't going to let Leung mess things up. They tell him what his son did, which Rutherford thinks of as only a stupid mistake, and he tells them his son is safe now. As Danny reaches for a picture of Jordan, Donald Rutherford focuses his attention solely on Danny giving Steve the chance to move in and overpower him.
Kono tells Sean Leung and his family that his father was working at the airstrip to help pay for the boat. She explains why his father died and tells him that because of what Jack Leung did, Jordan Rutherford was picked up by Hong Kong police and is being extradited to stand trial for murder. He thanks her for the work she did. Before she leaves, his son gives her the knot he was learning to tie from his father, the same knot Sean's father taught him. She tells the boy his grandfather was a hero and he should always remember that. Kono gets in the car with Chin and the two watch the Leung's boat go out to where Leung's ashes will be spread.
Danny and McGarrett are waiting for the plane bringing Jordan Rutherford from Hong Kong. He's taken into custody as Vicki Hailama's parents look on. At the Hilton Hawaiian Village, Five-O and Kamekona are having a celebratory dinner. After Sandrine (Renee Nobriga) asks if she can sign Steve's cast, Danny and Steve are both telling her how Steve was injured (Danny saved Steve's life which is or isn't basically not true according to which story you believe). Kamekona, wanting some of the pretty waitress's attention, improvises a cast of his own from a tablecloth. As the group watches the fireworks, Chin Ho receives a call and gets up from the table. Kono gets up to go to him and he tells her Auntie passed.
Hawaii Five-O airs Monday nights at 10:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on CBS.

He tells her she didn't get it how Uncle said she did. Uncle knew people in China who were able to get Auntie a kidney on the black market but no one in the family had that kind of money. Chin didn't know Uncle was going to take the money but he did what he had to do. She asks why he took the fall. He questions what he was supposed to do; watch Uncle go to jail. Crying, she tells him he's a cop and is supposed to tell the truth. He says sometimes things aren't so simple. He promised Uncle that Auntie would be shielded from everything and he kept his promise. Kono tells him when Auntie passes he will tell the truth and asks if that is what Uncle wants. He admits it is but wonders what good it will do. He's finally found a home with Five-O and whatever happened, happened.
At Morimoto's restaurant, Steve and Danny arrive to speak with Chef Morimoto (Masaharu Morimoto), who is singing karaoke. They introduce themselves and ask to see the fish they purchased that morning. Morimoto takes them to the kitchen and opens the container of fish. Steve volunteers Danny to look through them as he can't get his cast wet. Danny puts on a pair of gloves as Steve tells him to be thorough and check every fish in the box. Danny takes the fish out of the box one by one and eventually comes to one with a bullet hole in it. Steve digs the bullet out of the fish so Danny can get it to the lab.
McGarrett arrives back at headquarters and tells her he and Danny recovered a fired round from a .38, the same caliber as Groves gun, and ballistics is running it through as they speak. She shows him evidence the lab found traces of jet fuel on Leung's shoes, clothing and skin. The skin absorption rate indicates he came into contact with it hours before his death. It is a new bio fuel and only one airstrip on the island uses it. The lab traced it back High Blue Jet Charters. Their web site says they "fly everywhere" including, as Steve points out, remote locations where you can dump a body.
At High Blue Jet Charters in Waialua, North Shore, Danny and Steve show the owner a picture of Leung. He recognizes him and says he worked there on the graveyard shift doing refueling and maintenance. He said he wanted to earn extra money and was always talking about his son and their fishing boat. He worked last night. Steve asks if anything out of the ordinary happened last night and he said Leung wanted to use the computer in the office regarding a flight manifest. He says the ground crew sometimes gets interested in the people using the planes but they didn't have any VIP's come through last night. When they look in Leung's locker, Danny finds a flight manifest. The manifest is for a jet owned by the Lotus Leaf Holding Company doing a one-way charter to Hong Kong for one passenger of which there is no name.
At headquarters, Chin finds information on Lotus Leaf Holding Company. It is several companies folded into one. It looks like an import outfit with real estate holdings as well. The primary on the corporation papers is Donald Rutherford (Wayne Duvall), the father of Jordan Rutherford. Kono arrives with the ballistics report on the .38 from the fish. It wasn't from Groves' gun. It came from a gun sold at Ace Gun & Rifle, the owner is an ex-cop who registers the ballistics profile of every gun he sells. The buyer was Donald Rutherford. Steve tells them about the manifest he and Danny found and that he believes it was Jordan Rutherford on the plane. Donald Rutherford followed Leung back to his boat and killed him to keep his son's secret safe.
Steve and Danny arrive at the Rutherford House on Diamond Head. They ring the bell and Steve informs Rutherford they are from Five-O and would like a word. He tells them he'll be right down but after they wait for a few seconds, Danny asks if Steve thinks he's running. He does and kicks the front door in. They enter the house, guns drawn and Steve calls out to Rutherford. Their search doesn't turn him up but doors and windows are locked and shut so he must still be in the house. Steve goes to the truck and gets a heat-sensing device and they search the house again. They find he is in an underground room beneath the basement. Danny opens the door while Steve stands, gun-ready for whatever they find. They see stairs and Steve walks down them into an underground room where Donald Rutherford is waiting with his gun raised. Steve orders him to put the gun down and turns the lights on. Rutherford refuses to comply and tells them they have no idea how hard it is to see their sons name dragged through the papers and have him hunted. Steve puts his gun away and he and Danny tell Rutherford about Leung and how he took on a second job to take care of his son. Rutherford admits that after weeks of hiding his son and trying to get him out he wasn't going to let Leung mess things up. They tell him what his son did, which Rutherford thinks of as only a stupid mistake, and he tells them his son is safe now. As Danny reaches for a picture of Jordan, Donald Rutherford focuses his attention solely on Danny giving Steve the chance to move in and overpower him.
Kono tells Sean Leung and his family that his father was working at the airstrip to help pay for the boat. She explains why his father died and tells him that because of what Jack Leung did, Jordan Rutherford was picked up by Hong Kong police and is being extradited to stand trial for murder. He thanks her for the work she did. Before she leaves, his son gives her the knot he was learning to tie from his father, the same knot Sean's father taught him. She tells the boy his grandfather was a hero and he should always remember that. Kono gets in the car with Chin and the two watch the Leung's boat go out to where Leung's ashes will be spread.
Danny and McGarrett are waiting for the plane bringing Jordan Rutherford from Hong Kong. He's taken into custody as Vicki Hailama's parents look on. At the Hilton Hawaiian Village, Five-O and Kamekona are having a celebratory dinner. After Sandrine (Renee Nobriga) asks if she can sign Steve's cast, Danny and Steve are both telling her how Steve was injured (Danny saved Steve's life which is or isn't basically not true according to which story you believe). Kamekona, wanting some of the pretty waitress's attention, improvises a cast of his own from a tablecloth. As the group watches the fireworks, Chin Ho receives a call and gets up from the table. Kono gets up to go to him and he tells her Auntie passed.
Hawaii Five-O airs Monday nights at 10:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on CBS.

US Television: Breakout Kings, Episode 1.6, "Like Father, Like Son"
Breakout Kings
Season One, Episode Six, Like Father, Like Son
Original Air Date: April 10, 2011
When a dangerous inmate with anti-government views escapes from prison the team are called into action. They have one day to find him before he can plant and detonate a bomb in a grand attempt to honor his hero and avenge his mother's death, which he blames on the government. Meanwhile, Lloyd struggles with the choice of whether or not to call his father despite knowing everything his mother told him about the man was lies.
At Federal Corrections Institution in Fairton, New Jersey, an inmate returns to cell #12 and his cellmate, Christian Beaumont, asks if he was able to get what he went for. The man sits down on his bunk and takes out a small bag of flour he stole from the kitchens for Beaumont. As Beaumont lectures his cell mate on the amount of money spent on the prison systems, he dismantles a light bulb and puts the flour into the glass of the bulb. He drops the bulb down the front of his trousers then he and his cell mate shake hands. His cellmate tells him he will miss his wisdom and wishes him luck tomorrow. Beaumont tells his cellmate to "keep fighting the fight, patriot". At the county court house, Beaumont is sitting across from a lawyer who has a threatening letter Beaumont had sent to a government official. He is told that if he pleads guilty a six month sentence will be recommended for the offense. Beaumont tells the man he has to go to the bathroom. When the man asks for an answer first, Beaumont cites the violation of his 14th amendment rights by him not being granted to bathroom facilities. He even includes case law establishing the violation. The man signals a court officer to take Beaumont to the mens room. Once there, Beaumont retrieves the light bulb and adds to it a fuse which he holds in place with the gum he's been chewing. He lights the fuse with a match and, when the court officer comes back in to get him, he throws the bulb out to the mans feet. When the bulb explodes, Beaumont gets the keys off the officer and unlocks his cuffs. He takes the officer's gun and shoots another court officer who comes to check on the scene.
At the office, Charlie briefs the team on Beaumont's use of the flour bulb and match head doused in alcohol to make his escape from the county courthouse. He sent the letters to the County Land Assessor from his prison cell. His plan was to find a less secure location where he could make his bid for escape. Erica asks where she's heard Beaumont's name and Ray tells them of four years ago when the government seized Beaumont's family farm to build a highway. Beaumont refused to leave and when federal agents came to get him, he opened fire in a standoff that lasted two days. He killed one and wounded three. Charlie adds that doesn't count the two court officers he killed that morning. Julie interrupts telling Charlie his wife is on line one and he tells her he'll call her back. His wife talks to Julie for a second then Julie tells Charlie his wife just wanted him to know his salsa lesson was canceled. Shea jokes that he didn't know Charlie was a dancer and Lloyd asks if he's strictly salsa or if he also Lambada's because that dance is forbidden. Charlie pushes on with details about Beaumont. His mother, Carol, is dead but his father, Ellis, is alive and seems to share the same anti-government views as his son. When Christian was jailed, his father joined an extremist group The Patriot Front.
Dr. Lockwood, Christian Beaumont's incarceration psychiatrist, arrives at the office. Charlie sends Ray, Erica and Shea to speak with Beaumont's family while he and Lloyd talk with Dr. Lockwood there at the office. Lockwood tells them Christian has severe rage disorder and an acute persecution complex which was exacerbated what what he felt was an unlawful government seizure of his property. When Lloyd asks what Lockwood's protocol with Beaumont was, he says Beaumont refused medication and once a week had strict Freudian analysis. Lloyd questions Lockwood's use of Freudian analysis as antiquated therapy. Lockwood leans onto the table and asks who Lloyd is. Lloyd gives him details of his Harvard schooling and says he's the resident psychiatrist there then asks where Lockwood was school, which was the University of Illinois. Charlie interrupts, apologizing to Lockwood saying they are looking for anything that will give them insight into Beaumont. Lockwood takes a book out of his bag, America's Diaries. He tells them Beaumont was particular fond of the author Carl Huntz who was executed by the federal government for killing a federal court judge. Huntz is a martyr to the anti-government crowd. Lloyd questions Lockwood about letting Beaumont have the book. Lockwood begins to states again that Beaumont suffered from a persecution complex and if he, as a government employee denied him reading material, at which point Lloyd interrupts, points at Lockwood and says he's an amateur. Charlie tells him to tone it down but Lloyd continues saying Lockwood doesn't want to deny a very angry man a handbook on violence and uprising so he can keep him on the couch. Lockwood stands to leave and tells Lloyd he is aware of who he is and he will not be spoken down to by someone who doesn't even have his medical license anymore then leaves.
Lloyd catches up with Charlie in the hall and tells him he couldn't keep quiet any longer. Charlie says he took Lloyd in there for expertise and he insulted Lockwood. He has one use to him there. Charlie hands Julie the book telling her to dig up everything she can on the author. Lloyd sits down in front of her desk and tells her Lockwood is a hack. If you want to know what makes Beaumont tick, look at his family who cultivated his persecution complex. He tells her he's glad his father wasn't in his life as men screw up boys. She asks if he isn't close with his father and he tells her he hasn't seen him in about 30 years. His mother explained that his father lives in Holland and is an important and wealthy man. Julie gets Charlie's attention to tell him the 15th of the month (tomorrow) is the 10th anniversary of Huntz. Lloyd agrees that people with Beaumont's condition love dates. Julie asks if Beaumont could be planning an attack for the anniversary since he is good with explosives.
Outside Branchville, New Jersey, the rest of the team arrive to speak with Ellis Beaumont. He recognizes them immediately as the Marshal's because they've got "that look". Ray asks where Christian is and the man replies that he hasn't seen him but wouldn't tell if he had. Ray asks Ellis Beaumont what several burned patches in the ground nearby are and Ellis explains them as Flag Day fireworks then asks Ray if he's heard of Flag Day. As Ray goes to investigate, Shea sits down on the picnic table next to Ellis and asks if he wants to break bread with him. Ellis laughs and takes another drink of his beer. Erica looks around some vehicles sitting nearby. Ray investigates the patches and tells Ellis they aren't from firework, but explosives. Ellis cites the 4th Amendment telling Ray he can't even come there without probable cause. Ray, in turn, cites the "plain sight rule" saying the evidence was clearly visible from the highway. Erica found traces where someone had cut off handcuff's. They all go into the shed and Ellis tells them they have no right to be in there. Erica asks Ellis where his hacksaw is and he says it's gone missing. Shea questions if he didn't use it to saw off Christian's handcuffs. When he doesn't answer, Ray asks if he'd like them to ask again at the Marshal's office. Ellis says he'd like that so he can file a report about the saw which has clearly been stolen and file a complaint against Ray for illegal search and seizure. He orders them off his property as they have no basis to arrest him. As they are leaving, he tells them they'll never touch him or his son.
Christian walks out of the Post Office in Greensward, New Jersey and runs directly into a man going in. He comments about the price of a stamp and ever-increasing postal costs while the service gets worse. The man goes inside and Christian starts walking away. Behind him, the Post Office explodes and he calmly gets into a jeep without even looking back.
Emergency officials are on-site as are Charlie and Ray. Charlie gives Ray images from a security camera that were fed real-time to a central office showing Christian in the Post Office. He left a package near the desk then left. Charlie notes the materials used in the bomb are things one needs a license for. Ray calls Julie to ask for a list of all licensed dealers of regulated fertilizer in the area. Charlie tells Ray he's thinking that Beaumont could have hit a number of federal properties such as national parks or military recruitment centers but he chose the post office. In his book, Carl Huntz wrote that to cripple the enemy, you must first kill the method of communication. He feels Beaumont is celebrating Hunts and if he is as determined as he thinks he is, he won't let the execution anniversary go unnoticed. The post office might be just a warm-up.
At LaFontaine Feed & Supply in August, New Jersey, the team speak with the owner, Bob LaFontaine. They ask if Christian Beaumont has bought fertilizer from his business but LaFontaine tells them he doesn't know names. LaFontaine keeps looking at Ray and not Charlie, even when Charlie snaps his fingers directly in front of LaFontaine's face. Lloyd says he feels he won't look at Charlie because he's brown. Shea brings paperwork to their attention that every week bags of fertilizer are delivered every week to the same man. A total of fifty were ordered but Shea only sees 10 on the papers and asks where the other forty are. Charlie calls Erica to see if there is any fertilizer behind the store. She tells him they're looking but nothing so far. LaFontaine protests Marshals being behind his shop. Ray tells him he's supposed to report the purchases but LaFontaine maintains he doesn't need to report quantities as small as 2 or 3 bags at a time and he's violated no law. Charlie steps up and tells him he doesn't care who he is or what he believes, if he gave Beaumont fertilizer to make bombs, they will nail him for murder, same as Beaumont. LaFontaine finally looks at Charlie and tells him maybe someone who looks like him stole it. Charlie holds Ray back causing LaFontaine to comment it's an upside down world that Ray takes orders from Charlie. He continues insulting Charlie until Ray does hit him leading Shea to muse "I wish I'd done it". LaFontaine walks away telling them they're in trouble now.
Beaumont is standing behind George McAllister who is working on a computer. Beaumont tells him it's going to jump off early in the morning so they'll get full day of news coverage. He asks McAllister if he will link their sites to the major network and he is assured they will be and all their brothers will hear the news on it before it happens. LaFontaine enters the room to tell them the Marshals came by asking about him. When Ellis Beaumont suggests his son maybe should pass on the plan Christian asks him why he should after everything that was taken from them. Huntz didn't back down and neither did his mother. Ellis tells him he isn't saying for one second Christian shouldn't send a message that needs to be sent but he should do it in a way where he will come back home to his father as he's all he's got left. Christian tells his father he is willing to die for the cause and isn't the afraid. They are the ones who should be afraid. He goes back to LaFontaine and the man at the computer and asks LaFontaine if he got a name. LaFontaine hands him a piece of paper and Christian asks McAllister what he can do with the name Charlie Duchamp. He replies that he installed computers for the government for 15 years, what does he want him to do with it.
At the office, the cons are reading over America's Diaries for insight. Erica comments the book is simply a series of violent ramblings and there's no way to know where Beaumont will strike. Lloyd says anger needs focus and if the fraud therapist is correct, Beaumonts focus would be the taking of his property. Ray asks Julie to tell Federal Protective Services to alert government buildings that deal with property rights. She tells him she's trying but the computers are acting funny today. Charlie brings news that LaFontaine filed an assault complaint. Shea accuses Lloyd of making racist comments when Lloyd tells Ray it was good he hit LaFontaine and calls him a "violent Italian". Lloyd tells Shea he doesn't make racist comments, he makes racial comments; he merely states facts.
Charlie gets a call from his wife and he asks her to not leave personal messages for him with Julie. As she's going up the walk to their home, she tells him the only way she can get through to him is through Julie. She stops on the porch, seeing a box and asks him if he ordered anything as they received a package with no return address. He yells for her to drop the package and run. The team looks toward his office as they can overhear the conversation. Charlie hears an explosion over the phone.
At Charlie's home fire crews are extinguishing the blaze caused by the explosion. Marisol was only slightly injured. Ray takes Charlie aside to ask him how he's feeling. When Charlie says he's fine, Ray tells him is okay for him to be feeling it. Charlie insists he's fine. As they're running low on time, they will take Marisol to the hospital then they will be getting back to work. He tells Ray to worry about his own family as they were hacked and personnel files were breached. Ray rushes to his ex-wife's home to check on his daughter. His ex-wife wants him to leave. He tells his daughter to pack as she and her mother are going to their grandmothers but his ex-wife refuses. Her new husband comes into the house and tells Ray they have an arrangement and he needs to call before coming over. Ray gives his ex-wife the ultimatum that she will leave with their daughter or he will carry her out himself. She gives in.
Julie receives a call from Director Knox. Beaumont may have gotten access to more than just Marshals information in the system. Shea, Lloyd and Erica are in jeopardy as well. Shea is angry because the task force was supposed to be "on the QT" and there shouldn't have been files on them. Lloyd calls him down saying it isn't Julie's fault. Shea comments he's protecting his little girlfriend and that she's one of them. When Ray arrives, both Erica and Shea express concern for their safety and that of their families. Ray tells them not to worry because Beaumont is worried about real cops and not them. When the situation ends, Lloyd goes to Julie and says he has no idea why Shea would say something so ridiculous. She smiles and tells him it's okay and he can use her phone to warn his mother just to be safe. He tells her his mother has Tai Chi every Tuesday so she can protect herself but he might want to tell his father and asks if she can hunt him down, which she thinks she can. Charlie arrives at the office and Erica asks why he's there. He tells her his wife is healing and Beaumont is planning. Beaumont isn't getting any rest and neither is he. As Julie is working on the computer, a hacking attempt happens. Ray asks if she can trace where it is coming from. She doesn't think she can but she might be able to find out exactly who is on. She finds the hacker is coming through a server that hosts a website honoring Carl Huntz registered to George McAllister. She gets background on McAllister, including a photograph. Off the Patriot Front website, Charlie reads that there will be a pre-service memorial rally for Huntz in Bourbon County in an hour.
In Hackensack, New Jersey, Charlie and Ray observe the rally and see McAllister in the crowd. As he's cheering, McAllister glances aside and sees Charlie and Ray then leaves the rally bolting into a run. Charlie and Ray give chase. As they pass the vehicle where Shea, Lloyd and Erica are sitting, she is watching the chase. She gets out of the car and bolts after McAllister and takes him down as he's unlocking his car. In their car, Charlie and Ray question McAllister about Beaumont. He tells them he doesn't have to talk to them as they're just a cog in the outlaw governments wheel. Ray tells him Charlie is a cog, he's not even a cop and pushes the cigarette lighter in to light. When Ray threatens to "have a weenie roast", McAllister begins talking. He tells them Beaumont has a bunker in off 91 near Crandon Lakes. After he gets the information, Ray punches McAllister.
In the office, Julie gives Lloyd the number for his father, which isn't in Holland. He's in Columbus, Ohio. He tells her about psychologists speaking of confirmation bias and that he's been doing it for 30 years. He knows everything his mother tells him about his father is a fabrication but he confirms what he knows to be false by clinging to every piece of plausibility by someone wanting to protect him. Shea calls to him from the other room that Charlie and Ray are downstairs and they have to go. As he's leaving, he turns around and tells Julie today he will finally do it and thanks her for getting the number for him.
In Crandon Lakes, New Jersey the team arrives at Beaumont's bunker. They take in flashlights and open the bunker doors, guns drawn. They order Beaumont to come out with his hands up twice but get no response. Charlie and Ray take flashlights and enter the bunker. As he's going down the stairs, Ray gets caught in a trip wire. He cannot move or a bomb will detonate. Charlie tells Shea and Erica to go but wants Lloyd to search the bunker. If Beaumont is protecting it with explosives, there must be something of importance there and he wants Lloyd to grab everything he can. As Erica and Shea run from the bunker, Beaumont is watching with a gun. As Lloyd searches the bunker Charlie works on trying to detonate the bomb. Beaumont fires upon Shea and Erica. They duck back into the bunker and Shea asks Ray and Charlie for their guns, which they hand over. Shea's plan is that he will lay down cover so Erica, who is faster, can run to the car and start the engine. On three, they both come up out of the bunker with Shea firing and Erica making a run for the car. Lloyd manages to turn on power inside the bunker and continues taking things out of the bunker. Charlie tells him if there is a break in the gunfire to take the boxes and run. Charlie runs to get a canister of liquid nitrogen that is behind a freezer so he can freeze the detonator and buy them some time. He tries to move the freezer but it's too heavy. Ray tells him to leave but Lloyd runs down the stairs and to the freezer to help push. Together, they move it enough for Charlie to get the nitrogen. Outside, Erica reaches the car and starts it. As they thought, Beaumont turns his attention to the car. Shea gets up and fires. Erica gets out of the car and works her way behind Beaumont. When she steps on a stick, he turns and fires in her direction then gets up to run. She fires but he makes it to his jeep and escapes. When the gunfire stops, Ray orders Lloyd to go as Charlie works to freeze the detonator. Lloyd gets the boxes back to the car and Erica tells him and Shea someone should drive up to the bunker so the guys can get away fast. When neither of them want to do it, she gets in the car. Shea has her get out because she has a kid and drives to the bunker. He opens the back and tells them "let's go". Charlie tells Ray to run. The two jump in the back of the car as Shea speeds away. When they get back to Erica and Lloyd, the bunker explodes in a massive fireball.
At the office, they go over the papers Lloyd scavenged from the bunker. Ray finds pictures of Beaumont's mother. Lloyd tells them to find out everything they can about her and they'll know what Beaumont's next target is. Carol Beaumont worked for Fish & Wildlife office in downtown Newark, New Jersey but was fired one month after her son was imprisoned. Six months later she died of a heart attack. Beaumont blames the government for his mother's death. Charlie tells Julie to call the office and have them evacuate the building immediately as the team head out.
In Newark, New Jersey, Beaumont stops at a red light with a black van full of fertilizer. At the Newark Liberty Federal Building, the explosives unit has already arrived and the people are being evacuated. There's no sign of Beaumont leading Ray to say they were wrong. Lloyd insists he was right as Beaumont will be paying tribute to his hero and avenging his mother that day. Shea suggests that Beaumont could be targeting the building next door. They look up and Ray comments the top of the building looks like the blueprints Lloyd found in the bunker. If Beaumont can take out a building that large, he will get the Federal Building as well as the entire block. They can't evacuate all the people in the area at that time of day in time. They need to find the bomb. Charlie tells the bomb squad to look for anything large enough to hold fertilizer and orders the cons to stay in front of the Federal Building.
As the police search the building they have movement in the South stairwell, which is near where Charlie is searching. Beaumont exits the stairwell and Charlie draws on him and asks where the bomb is. Beaumont refuses to recognize his authority as a Marshal. Charlie again asks where the bomb is and receives the same answer. Ray arrives on the scene and Charlie slams him against a column and orders him to tell him. When he is silent, Charlie hits him and draws his gun. He tells him if he doesn't mind dying that's fine but he will take his father into the woods and hurt him bad before killing him. Beaumont laughs saying his father would be proud to die for the cause and he refuses to say where the bomb is and asks Charlie if he's going to stay there and die with him. Ray receives a call from the bomb squad that they found the truck. The bomb is set to detonate in one hour and they should be able to diffuse it in 40 minutes and they should evacuate now. Ray tells Charlie to grab Beaumont so they can leave but Charlie is frozen with his gun drawn. He bends down and puts his gun at Beaumonts cheek and tells him he won't die for his cause but he will die for messing with the wrong mans wife. He puts his gun at Beaumonts forehead and Beaumont begs him "please". Charlie doesn't fire but instead hits Beaumont.
At the office, Lloyd looks at the paper containing his father's phone number. He dials and asks if the man who answered is Lars Lowrey, which it is. When the man asks who is calling, Lloyd hangs up the phone. Ray goes into Charlie's office and tells him the job can be stressful and he will break down if he doesn't find the balance. Ray lost his marriage and badge because he never found the balance. He tells Charlie to go home to his wife and he'll take care of the cons.
Julie enters the room with Lloyd to tell him Ray wants everyone to go downstairs with him. She asks if he talked to his father. He tells her the number didn't work. She tells him she has heard of a large Dutch population in Columbus so if he did live there at one time it confirms his mother's story.
Downstairs, Ray gets the cons a pizza. He tells them Maybelle thinks they're on their way back. If anyone asks, they are to say traffic was heavy. Erica tells Ray it isn't hard to say 'thank you' and he replies where he comes from you don't get 'thank you's' for doing your job then tells them 'good work today, good work'.

They have one day to find him before he can plant and detonate a bomb in a grand attempt to honor his hero and avenge his mother's death, which he blames on the government. Meanwhile, Lloyd struggles with the choice of whether or not to call his father despite knowing everything his mother told him about the man was lies.
At Federal Corrections Institution in Fairton, New Jersey, an inmate returns to cell #12 and his cellmate, Christian Beaumont, asks if he was able to get what he went for. The man sits down on his bunk and takes out a small bag of flour he stole from the kitchens for Beaumont. As Beaumont lectures his cell mate on the amount of money spent on the prison systems, he dismantles a light bulb and puts the flour into the glass of the bulb. He drops the bulb down the front of his trousers then he and his cell mate shake hands. His cellmate tells him he will miss his wisdom and wishes him luck tomorrow. Beaumont tells his cellmate to "keep fighting the fight, patriot". At the county court house, Beaumont is sitting across from a lawyer who has a threatening letter Beaumont had sent to a government official. He is told that if he pleads guilty a six month sentence will be recommended for the offense. Beaumont tells the man he has to go to the bathroom. When the man asks for an answer first, Beaumont cites the violation of his 14th amendment rights by him not being granted to bathroom facilities. He even includes case law establishing the violation. The man signals a court officer to take Beaumont to the mens room. Once there, Beaumont retrieves the light bulb and adds to it a fuse which he holds in place with the gum he's been chewing. He lights the fuse with a match and, when the court officer comes back in to get him, he throws the bulb out to the mans feet. When the bulb explodes, Beaumont gets the keys off the officer and unlocks his cuffs. He takes the officer's gun and shoots another court officer who comes to check on the scene.
At the office, Charlie briefs the team on Beaumont's use of the flour bulb and match head doused in alcohol to make his escape from the county courthouse. He sent the letters to the County Land Assessor from his prison cell. His plan was to find a less secure location where he could make his bid for escape. Erica asks where she's heard Beaumont's name and Ray tells them of four years ago when the government seized Beaumont's family farm to build a highway. Beaumont refused to leave and when federal agents came to get him, he opened fire in a standoff that lasted two days. He killed one and wounded three. Charlie adds that doesn't count the two court officers he killed that morning. Julie interrupts telling Charlie his wife is on line one and he tells her he'll call her back. His wife talks to Julie for a second then Julie tells Charlie his wife just wanted him to know his salsa lesson was canceled. Shea jokes that he didn't know Charlie was a dancer and Lloyd asks if he's strictly salsa or if he also Lambada's because that dance is forbidden. Charlie pushes on with details about Beaumont. His mother, Carol, is dead but his father, Ellis, is alive and seems to share the same anti-government views as his son. When Christian was jailed, his father joined an extremist group The Patriot Front.
Dr. Lockwood, Christian Beaumont's incarceration psychiatrist, arrives at the office. Charlie sends Ray, Erica and Shea to speak with Beaumont's family while he and Lloyd talk with Dr. Lockwood there at the office. Lockwood tells them Christian has severe rage disorder and an acute persecution complex which was exacerbated what what he felt was an unlawful government seizure of his property. When Lloyd asks what Lockwood's protocol with Beaumont was, he says Beaumont refused medication and once a week had strict Freudian analysis. Lloyd questions Lockwood's use of Freudian analysis as antiquated therapy. Lockwood leans onto the table and asks who Lloyd is. Lloyd gives him details of his Harvard schooling and says he's the resident psychiatrist there then asks where Lockwood was school, which was the University of Illinois. Charlie interrupts, apologizing to Lockwood saying they are looking for anything that will give them insight into Beaumont. Lockwood takes a book out of his bag, America's Diaries. He tells them Beaumont was particular fond of the author Carl Huntz who was executed by the federal government for killing a federal court judge. Huntz is a martyr to the anti-government crowd. Lloyd questions Lockwood about letting Beaumont have the book. Lockwood begins to states again that Beaumont suffered from a persecution complex and if he, as a government employee denied him reading material, at which point Lloyd interrupts, points at Lockwood and says he's an amateur. Charlie tells him to tone it down but Lloyd continues saying Lockwood doesn't want to deny a very angry man a handbook on violence and uprising so he can keep him on the couch. Lockwood stands to leave and tells Lloyd he is aware of who he is and he will not be spoken down to by someone who doesn't even have his medical license anymore then leaves.
Lloyd catches up with Charlie in the hall and tells him he couldn't keep quiet any longer. Charlie says he took Lloyd in there for expertise and he insulted Lockwood. He has one use to him there. Charlie hands Julie the book telling her to dig up everything she can on the author. Lloyd sits down in front of her desk and tells her Lockwood is a hack. If you want to know what makes Beaumont tick, look at his family who cultivated his persecution complex. He tells her he's glad his father wasn't in his life as men screw up boys. She asks if he isn't close with his father and he tells her he hasn't seen him in about 30 years. His mother explained that his father lives in Holland and is an important and wealthy man. Julie gets Charlie's attention to tell him the 15th of the month (tomorrow) is the 10th anniversary of Huntz. Lloyd agrees that people with Beaumont's condition love dates. Julie asks if Beaumont could be planning an attack for the anniversary since he is good with explosives.
Outside Branchville, New Jersey, the rest of the team arrive to speak with Ellis Beaumont. He recognizes them immediately as the Marshal's because they've got "that look". Ray asks where Christian is and the man replies that he hasn't seen him but wouldn't tell if he had. Ray asks Ellis Beaumont what several burned patches in the ground nearby are and Ellis explains them as Flag Day fireworks then asks Ray if he's heard of Flag Day. As Ray goes to investigate, Shea sits down on the picnic table next to Ellis and asks if he wants to break bread with him. Ellis laughs and takes another drink of his beer. Erica looks around some vehicles sitting nearby. Ray investigates the patches and tells Ellis they aren't from firework, but explosives. Ellis cites the 4th Amendment telling Ray he can't even come there without probable cause. Ray, in turn, cites the "plain sight rule" saying the evidence was clearly visible from the highway. Erica found traces where someone had cut off handcuff's. They all go into the shed and Ellis tells them they have no right to be in there. Erica asks Ellis where his hacksaw is and he says it's gone missing. Shea questions if he didn't use it to saw off Christian's handcuffs. When he doesn't answer, Ray asks if he'd like them to ask again at the Marshal's office. Ellis says he'd like that so he can file a report about the saw which has clearly been stolen and file a complaint against Ray for illegal search and seizure. He orders them off his property as they have no basis to arrest him. As they are leaving, he tells them they'll never touch him or his son.
Christian walks out of the Post Office in Greensward, New Jersey and runs directly into a man going in. He comments about the price of a stamp and ever-increasing postal costs while the service gets worse. The man goes inside and Christian starts walking away. Behind him, the Post Office explodes and he calmly gets into a jeep without even looking back.
Emergency officials are on-site as are Charlie and Ray. Charlie gives Ray images from a security camera that were fed real-time to a central office showing Christian in the Post Office. He left a package near the desk then left. Charlie notes the materials used in the bomb are things one needs a license for. Ray calls Julie to ask for a list of all licensed dealers of regulated fertilizer in the area. Charlie tells Ray he's thinking that Beaumont could have hit a number of federal properties such as national parks or military recruitment centers but he chose the post office. In his book, Carl Huntz wrote that to cripple the enemy, you must first kill the method of communication. He feels Beaumont is celebrating Hunts and if he is as determined as he thinks he is, he won't let the execution anniversary go unnoticed. The post office might be just a warm-up.
At LaFontaine Feed & Supply in August, New Jersey, the team speak with the owner, Bob LaFontaine. They ask if Christian Beaumont has bought fertilizer from his business but LaFontaine tells them he doesn't know names. LaFontaine keeps looking at Ray and not Charlie, even when Charlie snaps his fingers directly in front of LaFontaine's face. Lloyd says he feels he won't look at Charlie because he's brown. Shea brings paperwork to their attention that every week bags of fertilizer are delivered every week to the same man. A total of fifty were ordered but Shea only sees 10 on the papers and asks where the other forty are. Charlie calls Erica to see if there is any fertilizer behind the store. She tells him they're looking but nothing so far. LaFontaine protests Marshals being behind his shop. Ray tells him he's supposed to report the purchases but LaFontaine maintains he doesn't need to report quantities as small as 2 or 3 bags at a time and he's violated no law. Charlie steps up and tells him he doesn't care who he is or what he believes, if he gave Beaumont fertilizer to make bombs, they will nail him for murder, same as Beaumont. LaFontaine finally looks at Charlie and tells him maybe someone who looks like him stole it. Charlie holds Ray back causing LaFontaine to comment it's an upside down world that Ray takes orders from Charlie. He continues insulting Charlie until Ray does hit him leading Shea to muse "I wish I'd done it". LaFontaine walks away telling them they're in trouble now.
Beaumont is standing behind George McAllister who is working on a computer. Beaumont tells him it's going to jump off early in the morning so they'll get full day of news coverage. He asks McAllister if he will link their sites to the major network and he is assured they will be and all their brothers will hear the news on it before it happens. LaFontaine enters the room to tell them the Marshals came by asking about him. When Ellis Beaumont suggests his son maybe should pass on the plan Christian asks him why he should after everything that was taken from them. Huntz didn't back down and neither did his mother. Ellis tells him he isn't saying for one second Christian shouldn't send a message that needs to be sent but he should do it in a way where he will come back home to his father as he's all he's got left. Christian tells his father he is willing to die for the cause and isn't the afraid. They are the ones who should be afraid. He goes back to LaFontaine and the man at the computer and asks LaFontaine if he got a name. LaFontaine hands him a piece of paper and Christian asks McAllister what he can do with the name Charlie Duchamp. He replies that he installed computers for the government for 15 years, what does he want him to do with it.
At the office, the cons are reading over America's Diaries for insight. Erica comments the book is simply a series of violent ramblings and there's no way to know where Beaumont will strike. Lloyd says anger needs focus and if the fraud therapist is correct, Beaumonts focus would be the taking of his property. Ray asks Julie to tell Federal Protective Services to alert government buildings that deal with property rights. She tells him she's trying but the computers are acting funny today. Charlie brings news that LaFontaine filed an assault complaint. Shea accuses Lloyd of making racist comments when Lloyd tells Ray it was good he hit LaFontaine and calls him a "violent Italian". Lloyd tells Shea he doesn't make racist comments, he makes racial comments; he merely states facts.
Charlie gets a call from his wife and he asks her to not leave personal messages for him with Julie. As she's going up the walk to their home, she tells him the only way she can get through to him is through Julie. She stops on the porch, seeing a box and asks him if he ordered anything as they received a package with no return address. He yells for her to drop the package and run. The team looks toward his office as they can overhear the conversation. Charlie hears an explosion over the phone.
At Charlie's home fire crews are extinguishing the blaze caused by the explosion. Marisol was only slightly injured. Ray takes Charlie aside to ask him how he's feeling. When Charlie says he's fine, Ray tells him is okay for him to be feeling it. Charlie insists he's fine. As they're running low on time, they will take Marisol to the hospital then they will be getting back to work. He tells Ray to worry about his own family as they were hacked and personnel files were breached. Ray rushes to his ex-wife's home to check on his daughter. His ex-wife wants him to leave. He tells his daughter to pack as she and her mother are going to their grandmothers but his ex-wife refuses. Her new husband comes into the house and tells Ray they have an arrangement and he needs to call before coming over. Ray gives his ex-wife the ultimatum that she will leave with their daughter or he will carry her out himself. She gives in.
Julie receives a call from Director Knox. Beaumont may have gotten access to more than just Marshals information in the system. Shea, Lloyd and Erica are in jeopardy as well. Shea is angry because the task force was supposed to be "on the QT" and there shouldn't have been files on them. Lloyd calls him down saying it isn't Julie's fault. Shea comments he's protecting his little girlfriend and that she's one of them. When Ray arrives, both Erica and Shea express concern for their safety and that of their families. Ray tells them not to worry because Beaumont is worried about real cops and not them. When the situation ends, Lloyd goes to Julie and says he has no idea why Shea would say something so ridiculous. She smiles and tells him it's okay and he can use her phone to warn his mother just to be safe. He tells her his mother has Tai Chi every Tuesday so she can protect herself but he might want to tell his father and asks if she can hunt him down, which she thinks she can. Charlie arrives at the office and Erica asks why he's there. He tells her his wife is healing and Beaumont is planning. Beaumont isn't getting any rest and neither is he. As Julie is working on the computer, a hacking attempt happens. Ray asks if she can trace where it is coming from. She doesn't think she can but she might be able to find out exactly who is on. She finds the hacker is coming through a server that hosts a website honoring Carl Huntz registered to George McAllister. She gets background on McAllister, including a photograph. Off the Patriot Front website, Charlie reads that there will be a pre-service memorial rally for Huntz in Bourbon County in an hour.
In Hackensack, New Jersey, Charlie and Ray observe the rally and see McAllister in the crowd. As he's cheering, McAllister glances aside and sees Charlie and Ray then leaves the rally bolting into a run. Charlie and Ray give chase. As they pass the vehicle where Shea, Lloyd and Erica are sitting, she is watching the chase. She gets out of the car and bolts after McAllister and takes him down as he's unlocking his car. In their car, Charlie and Ray question McAllister about Beaumont. He tells them he doesn't have to talk to them as they're just a cog in the outlaw governments wheel. Ray tells him Charlie is a cog, he's not even a cop and pushes the cigarette lighter in to light. When Ray threatens to "have a weenie roast", McAllister begins talking. He tells them Beaumont has a bunker in off 91 near Crandon Lakes. After he gets the information, Ray punches McAllister.
In the office, Julie gives Lloyd the number for his father, which isn't in Holland. He's in Columbus, Ohio. He tells her about psychologists speaking of confirmation bias and that he's been doing it for 30 years. He knows everything his mother tells him about his father is a fabrication but he confirms what he knows to be false by clinging to every piece of plausibility by someone wanting to protect him. Shea calls to him from the other room that Charlie and Ray are downstairs and they have to go. As he's leaving, he turns around and tells Julie today he will finally do it and thanks her for getting the number for him.
In Crandon Lakes, New Jersey the team arrives at Beaumont's bunker. They take in flashlights and open the bunker doors, guns drawn. They order Beaumont to come out with his hands up twice but get no response. Charlie and Ray take flashlights and enter the bunker. As he's going down the stairs, Ray gets caught in a trip wire. He cannot move or a bomb will detonate. Charlie tells Shea and Erica to go but wants Lloyd to search the bunker. If Beaumont is protecting it with explosives, there must be something of importance there and he wants Lloyd to grab everything he can. As Erica and Shea run from the bunker, Beaumont is watching with a gun. As Lloyd searches the bunker Charlie works on trying to detonate the bomb. Beaumont fires upon Shea and Erica. They duck back into the bunker and Shea asks Ray and Charlie for their guns, which they hand over. Shea's plan is that he will lay down cover so Erica, who is faster, can run to the car and start the engine. On three, they both come up out of the bunker with Shea firing and Erica making a run for the car. Lloyd manages to turn on power inside the bunker and continues taking things out of the bunker. Charlie tells him if there is a break in the gunfire to take the boxes and run. Charlie runs to get a canister of liquid nitrogen that is behind a freezer so he can freeze the detonator and buy them some time. He tries to move the freezer but it's too heavy. Ray tells him to leave but Lloyd runs down the stairs and to the freezer to help push. Together, they move it enough for Charlie to get the nitrogen. Outside, Erica reaches the car and starts it. As they thought, Beaumont turns his attention to the car. Shea gets up and fires. Erica gets out of the car and works her way behind Beaumont. When she steps on a stick, he turns and fires in her direction then gets up to run. She fires but he makes it to his jeep and escapes. When the gunfire stops, Ray orders Lloyd to go as Charlie works to freeze the detonator. Lloyd gets the boxes back to the car and Erica tells him and Shea someone should drive up to the bunker so the guys can get away fast. When neither of them want to do it, she gets in the car. Shea has her get out because she has a kid and drives to the bunker. He opens the back and tells them "let's go". Charlie tells Ray to run. The two jump in the back of the car as Shea speeds away. When they get back to Erica and Lloyd, the bunker explodes in a massive fireball.
At the office, they go over the papers Lloyd scavenged from the bunker. Ray finds pictures of Beaumont's mother. Lloyd tells them to find out everything they can about her and they'll know what Beaumont's next target is. Carol Beaumont worked for Fish & Wildlife office in downtown Newark, New Jersey but was fired one month after her son was imprisoned. Six months later she died of a heart attack. Beaumont blames the government for his mother's death. Charlie tells Julie to call the office and have them evacuate the building immediately as the team head out.
In Newark, New Jersey, Beaumont stops at a red light with a black van full of fertilizer. At the Newark Liberty Federal Building, the explosives unit has already arrived and the people are being evacuated. There's no sign of Beaumont leading Ray to say they were wrong. Lloyd insists he was right as Beaumont will be paying tribute to his hero and avenging his mother that day. Shea suggests that Beaumont could be targeting the building next door. They look up and Ray comments the top of the building looks like the blueprints Lloyd found in the bunker. If Beaumont can take out a building that large, he will get the Federal Building as well as the entire block. They can't evacuate all the people in the area at that time of day in time. They need to find the bomb. Charlie tells the bomb squad to look for anything large enough to hold fertilizer and orders the cons to stay in front of the Federal Building.
As the police search the building they have movement in the South stairwell, which is near where Charlie is searching. Beaumont exits the stairwell and Charlie draws on him and asks where the bomb is. Beaumont refuses to recognize his authority as a Marshal. Charlie again asks where the bomb is and receives the same answer. Ray arrives on the scene and Charlie slams him against a column and orders him to tell him. When he is silent, Charlie hits him and draws his gun. He tells him if he doesn't mind dying that's fine but he will take his father into the woods and hurt him bad before killing him. Beaumont laughs saying his father would be proud to die for the cause and he refuses to say where the bomb is and asks Charlie if he's going to stay there and die with him. Ray receives a call from the bomb squad that they found the truck. The bomb is set to detonate in one hour and they should be able to diffuse it in 40 minutes and they should evacuate now. Ray tells Charlie to grab Beaumont so they can leave but Charlie is frozen with his gun drawn. He bends down and puts his gun at Beaumonts cheek and tells him he won't die for his cause but he will die for messing with the wrong mans wife. He puts his gun at Beaumonts forehead and Beaumont begs him "please". Charlie doesn't fire but instead hits Beaumont.
At the office, Lloyd looks at the paper containing his father's phone number. He dials and asks if the man who answered is Lars Lowrey, which it is. When the man asks who is calling, Lloyd hangs up the phone. Ray goes into Charlie's office and tells him the job can be stressful and he will break down if he doesn't find the balance. Ray lost his marriage and badge because he never found the balance. He tells Charlie to go home to his wife and he'll take care of the cons.
Julie enters the room with Lloyd to tell him Ray wants everyone to go downstairs with him. She asks if he talked to his father. He tells her the number didn't work. She tells him she has heard of a large Dutch population in Columbus so if he did live there at one time it confirms his mother's story.
Downstairs, Ray gets the cons a pizza. He tells them Maybelle thinks they're on their way back. If anyone asks, they are to say traffic was heavy. Erica tells Ray it isn't hard to say 'thank you' and he replies where he comes from you don't get 'thank you's' for doing your job then tells them 'good work today, good work'.
