[line ringing]

Hey, it's Mia.

Leave a message.

[phone beeps]

[phone beeps]

[Brandon] Look, I know. I just think

that you're overreacting, bud.

[Roman] She always picks up.

She hasn't texted back.

Maybe she doesn't wanna be

bothered tonight, bro.

I mean, she's out having fun

with Haley and them.

Yeah, and I'm fine with that.

I just wanna

make sure she's okay.

All right? Just...

Just drive.

I'm driving.

What are you doing?

- I'm calling Deklan.

- Why?

Come on.

[Brandon] Where do you

think she is?

- That house there.

- [Mia's voice on phone, indistinct]

- [Brandon] The white van?

- Shh, shh, shh.

- Damn. I can't hear a thing.

- [phone beeps]

You guys need to keep it down

while I check this.

Okay.

[Mia's voice]

I can't wait to see you.

Oh, my God!

Sh*t.

Brandon, you got

your piece with you?

- Yeah.

- [Roman] Whoa, whoa, whoa.

- Lock and load it.

- What's going on?

- [phone beeping]

- [slider c*cks]

[line ringing]

[woman] 911.

What is your emergency?

My sister's been abducted.

- What?

- Okay, sir, what's your location?

We're just down the street

from where she's being held.

The address is

1424 Walker Street.

There's a white van

parked out front.

- What are you talking about?

- And what is your name?

- Deklan MacGregor.

- F***.

Okay, sir. Stay calm.

Officers are on their way.

- Sir?

- [Roman] There she is!

Hold it! Roman!

[up-tempo tense music]

- Lay down.

- Get on the f***ing ground!

Get on the f***ing ground!

- [Roman] It's not Mia.

- [Deklan] It looks like her.

It's not her!

Whoa. Whoa.

Hold on.

He moves, you shoot him

in the head.

What?

Roman, you good?

Yeah, I got him.

[tense music]

[grunts]

[whispering]

Jesus Christ.

Hey. It's okay, all right?

It's okay.

Go on.

Get out of here.

Hey. Hey.

Come on.

I'm here to help you.

Come on.

[sirens approaching]

[sirens grow louder]

[officers chattering, shouting]

- Show me your hands!

- Show me your hands!

So we can see 'em.

That's it.

Keep your hands up! Walk towards us!

Walk towards us slowly!

Slowly!

Very slowly!

Get on the stairs!

Stop right there

and turn around!

Keep your hands up!

It's gonna be okay.

[woman] He drugged me

this whole time.

Put your phone number

down there.

I'll call when I have

information about your sister.

I'm gonna do everything in my

power to try and find Mia.

- What does that mean exactly?

- I'm sorry?

What are you gonna do?

We start by entering her name

in a national database.

It goes to the FBI, DEA, Highway

Patrol, the US Marshalls.

Yeah.

Does that work?

- Excuse me?

- Is it successful?

You and your brother Brandon

were in the Army.

Right? Ranger battalion?

Where'd you deploy?

Detective, are you

investigating me

or the people

that took my sister?

You're not a suspect.

Why aren't you

out there right now?

You see what

these shitbags do?

They're experts.

They move victims around

all the time.

They switch holding locations.

They move people around.

It happens.

Let law enforcement...

Law enforcement do what?

I know you're not

a stranger to violence.

You're not in Iraq.

You can't go around in Cleveland

kicking in doors.

Some of the

investigators here,

they'll charge you guys

with all kinds of garbage.

I don't wanna be the guy

that's gonna put you in jail.

After this,

I can't protect you.

You need to let me focus

on finding your sister.

I'm gonna do everything I

can to try and find her.

- That's a promise.

- Okay. Thank you. [clears throat]

Good luck.

Boys, let's go. Come on.

F***!

[slow string music]

What are we gonna do?

I don't know, Rome.

Yes, you do.

We gotta let

the cops do their job.

They're not gonna

find her, Brandon.

We don't go looking, she's as

good as dead, and you know it.

I'll do whatever

I need to do.

You guys just tell me

what to do.

Like what?

What are we gonna do?

We go to war.

We treat it like any

other hostage recovery.

We were just arrested.

- F***.

- Hey.

Hey.

I love Mia.

Look at me for a second.

I love Mia, you know that.

But I can't leave Jess

without a husband.

That's it.

What if it was Jess

out there, Brandon?

Don't do that.

Do what?

- Don't guilt trip me.

- I'm not guilt tripping you.

I'm asking you

an honest question.

What if it was

Jess out there?

Wouldn't you do everything in

your power to get her back?

Of course I would.

But you don't understand

the position that I'm in.

Of course I do.

No. You don't have

a family to lose, Dek.

Mia's our family.

This is our family.

Yeah.

What do you think

Dad would do, Brandon?

Hm?

I don't care

if I go to jail.

I don't care if I die.

I'm not stopping

until I find her.

I need your help.

I know, man.

I know.

Good.

Come here.

- We'll find her. You hear me?

- Okay.

Let's go get you

cleaned up.

[Roman sniffles]

[tense music]

[shallow breathing]

[echoing] Hey!

Hello? Can you hear me?

Hey!

Let me out of here!

Hello?

Hey!

Hey! Can you hear me?

Let me out of here!

I said let me

out of here!

I'm gonna kill you if you

don't let me out of here!

[banging continues]

[door opens]

- You get a tox back?

- [door closes]

I rushed it

for you.

Pharmaceuticals?

Fentanyl?

Carfentanyl.

Never heard of it.

That's because it's not

made for humans.

It's a synthetic OP tranquilizer

used for large animals

like horses,

elephants, rhinos.

10,000 times more

powerful than morphine.

And they're cutting it

into the heroin supply?

We've had 30-plus

carfentanyl OD cases

all over the city

in the last three weeks.

Brooke, call Narcos. Find out

what they know about this drug.

Yeah. Okay.

She's 18.

What is this?

Her hand.

Most likely

a bone fragment.

It feels like plastic.

I doubt it.

What is that?

Okay.

Okay. Thanks.

The girls

the MacGregors rescued...

Have we heard

from the next of kin?

No, not yet. But we do have

the girls in protection.

Anything on

the missing girl, Mia?

Nothing.

What is that?
