This is me telling you

that I am back.

Alex, I just...

This case that I've been working on,

it's bad.

I mean, it's really bad.

But it's almost over.

And after this case,

it's all gonna be different.

Everything is gonna be different?

Promise.

Western Division has a case

they need you on. Attempted rape.

Apparently, he's a heck of a biter.

Briefing's this afternoon.

- Hey, Krupa. Wait a minute. Wait a minute!

- Yeah?

I don't have time for this.

There's still 2 Horsemen out there.

They told us to expect 4 victims.

- We have four victims.

- No, we don't. They're not finished.

Let me explain something to you.

They chose the Four Horsemen

of the Apocalypse for a reason.

Did you know that the word "apocalypse"

does not even mean "the end of the world?"

The literal translation of it

is "the lifting of the veil".

This whole time they've been trying

to show us something.

They're leaving clues.

It all ties in together.

Look at-This is the Web site that

the computer was connected to.

It's a forum.

There are thousands of members on it.

See that date? That's new.

That wasn't there.

When I first saw that,

that was a place to type in a password.

Now, that's tomorrow.

This whole time, they've been trying

to lead us to something.

- They're building to something. Don't you see?

- Building to what?

I don't know!

But it's going to happen tomorrow.

Now, we know two of them.

If we can find out what connected them,

maybe that will lead us to find the other 2.

- I need more time to find this out.

- You need to let this go.

- We don't have more time.

- I don't have time for this right...

Just drop it!

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse...

were sent here to initiate

hell on Earth...

and it's happening tomorrow.

Fine. You've got 24 hours.

They've been leaving

bread crumbs for us.

Yeah, well, I guess we missed

a couple of those crumbs...

'cause-

Four "Come and sees".

One in each direction.

Mary Anne Spitz.

One, two, three, four.

Silva's apartment.

One, two, three, four.

Garrison Jacobs's hotel room.

- There's only three.

- Yeah.

That's why there's no rig,

no ceremony...

no paint, no necklace.

Nothing taken from the body.

That's why the veil

hasn't been lifted yet.

Garrison Jacobs

is not the third victim.

What was he?

Garrison Jacobs is Pestilence.

I was trying to get

my beauty sleep.

Garrison Jacobs tricked us

into punishing the innocent.

What did he tell you?

- He told us Silva molested his son.

- He lied to you.

- He was-

- Heartbroken and lying.

So we bled him.

You could afford to kill him. You didn't

need Pestilence like you needed the others.

He just operated the computers.

It would have been nice to have carried

the Pestilence theme throughout.

Three Horsemen

just doesn't have the same ring.

That means there's one less Horseman...

which means there's going

to be another victim.

Does it eat at you,

Detective Breslin?

That three of the four of us

are off the streets...

and you had nothing to do with it?

We would have caught you.

Really.

Good-bye, Kristin.

"The great day of his wrath has come:

and who shall be able to stand?"

Who shall be able to stand?

Maybe that's why they used the rigs.

Find something?

- They were both in group therapy.

- Who were the doctors?

Annette Richardson and...

Annette Richardson.

Well, we'll look her up

and pay her a visit.

Oh, God.

We thought we should call you

because of your background in...

Forensic Odontology.

Bres, what's the matter?

Kristin has acted like she's known me

ever since the day she turned herself in.

That's because she does.

The teeth were placed on that pond...

to guarantee that I would be

assigned to the case.

They're after me and my family.

Stingray, I want you to do me a favor.

I want you to go to my house

and take care of Alex.

- I'm gonna pick up Sean.

- What's going on, Bres?

When Karen died,

Alex was in group therapy.

Same doctor.

This is Aidan Breslin.

I'm driving there now. I'm his father!

I just need someone to tell me

if he's in his classroom!

- Stingray?

- It's me. at the house.

- What the f***?

- Stingray!

Stingray!

Sh*t!

Stingray?

Ray?

Police Emergency.

How can I help you?

This is Detective Aidan Breslin,

I have an officer badly injured,

You don't find someone like that.

Someone like that finds you.

Well, he does great when he's here.

That's just not very often.

Alex?

Alex! Answer me!

- Dad?

- It's gonna be all right, Alex.

I'm gonna get you down! Hold on!

It's gonna be okay, Alex!

It's gonna be all right!

I'm bleeding.

I'm supposed to drown, not bleed.

- No, you're not!

- Yes, I am!

You have to know!

- This won't end with us.

- Please, God.

There is no Four Horsemen.

There's millions of them.

They're born

into this f***ed-up world...

by parents who are unwilling

to even try to understand them!

I understand.

And it won't end until every parent

in this f***ed-up society...

realizes that it does apply to them!

They're watching us right now.

They're waiting...

for the last Horseman

to make the final sacrifice!

Waiting for the sign-

my death-

to begin the apocalypse.

The veil will be lifted,

and the people will finally see.

Please tell me

you didn't do these things.

Tell me you didn't

do this to yourself.

Why? Because I'm your son?

You haven't been in my room

in three years.

All you had to do was go in my room.

I told you it would be different.

It can still be different.

Open your eyes!

Open your eyes! Look at me!

Dad. Dad?

You were right. You were right.

After your mom died,

I never came back.

I never came back.

I wasn't there for you and Sean.

Please.

I'm so sorry.

Please forgive me. Please forgive me.

Give me a chance

to be a father to you.

We're gonna be all right.

Whatever happens,

I'm never gonna leave you again.

You're gonna be all right.

I'm not gonna let you die.

Sean?

Daddy?

Yeah.

I had a bad dream.

You did?

I'm here now.

Where's Alex?

Don't you worry about Alex.

Alex is gonna be okay.

I love you, Sean.

I love you too, Daddy.
