Nope, everything's fine.

I will just see you there.

Okay, bye.

- Hey.

- Hey.

Can't keep coming here.

I know it's hard but, uh...

I know.

I know.

I miss him, too.

What's goin' on?

Maybe you can tell us.

This was in the package you

brought to the lab yesterday.

- Got an ID?

- Not yet, but we're workin' on it.

It's an IP address from a

public DNS server in Moscow.

The address redirected

us to a secure website.

What?

We tried logging in,

but it's password protected.

Five characters.

Tried your badge, birthday.

Anything personal you can think of?

Try my address. 22093.

Negative.

Anything else?

Try "Mikey."

M-I-K-E-Y?

Yeah.

We're in.

Oh. This live?

- It's live.

- Can you track it?

Not easy, signal's being redirected.

Could be anywhere in the world.

Detective Thompson, are you there?

I can assume my package

caught your attention, yes?

Much simpler to answer my letters.

But I do what I have to.

When you owe person, you must make good

or there is much big trouble.

- Can he see me?

- Therefore, you must bleed.

No, it's his feed.

You give me now $2,000,112.35

and I don't punish anybody.

Just call me with my money.

Get the bomb unit online,

send 'em a still.

I want an ID on that kid immediately.

I'm on with missing persons.

Turner, can you get a screen grab

of the child sent to CPS?

Today at 12 noon, Detective Thompson.

Meet me at the event at the Colosseum.

You go to window, ticket in your name.

You deliver money in backpack.

I give you his location and address.

No die packs, no marked bills.

No police.

I see them, he dies.

We can get a warrant for the server

records but it'll take some time.

How long?

We don't know. Days, weeks.

Bomb unit's saying that the wiring,

the detonator are all Russian

military and very powerful.

How powerful?

They're saying that there's a kill

radius of approximately 40 yards.

Can they disarm it?

There's a five-way latching

mechanism right there.

It's probably wired to set it off

if anyone attempts to remove it.

Also saying that there is

possibly a second phantom switch.

But those aren't our only problems.

He can detonate that bomb wherever

and whenever he wants to...

...with a phone call.

We have a tactical team

on standby if needed.

We have officers from the

gang unit who speak Russian,

and special ops working

undercover in the arena.

Let me take him,

I'll get the kid's location.

He'll lawyer up in ten minutes.

It won't take that long.

Listen, Ray, you've been

sittin' on this for a year.

If this does not go by the book,

it's not gonna look good.

And you're gonna be on the hook for it.

Do you really wanna see that headline?

"Dead Kid, Rogue Cop."

How many threats does

this department get a week?

We investigate half of 'em, we take 80

percent of our manpower off the streets.

You know that, I know that.

The mayor, the media, you think they care?

They're gonna want heads and yours

is gonna be the first to roll.

You're a bag man, nothing more.

You carry the bag and get your tickets.

See where they take ya.

We'll have eyes on you

and the bag the entire time.

We'll have officers throughout the arena.

When he calls in the victim's location,

we'll take him down.

Do we understand each other?

Ray, do we understand each other?

- Yes.

- Good.

$2,000,112.35.

What's the $112.35?

We've got a GPS transmitter

in the bag's lining.

We're actually gonna pay this guy?

- For now.

- Great.

What can go wrong?

Ticket for Ray Thompson.

- Here you go, Mr. Thompson.

- Thank you.

Can we get a better connection?

Trying.

Getting interference from all the WiFi.

You're down there, sir.

Go ahead.

I think you're in my seat.

Hey, you left your phone.

It's not mine, dude.

The Ascension.

Kendricks, he knows you're a cop.

Cover's blown, get outta here.

Damn, I'm outta here.

We need eyes, section 36.

All right, Ray, you're done. Walk it back.

Lucha, lucha, lucha.

Lucha, lucha, lucha. Lucha, lucha...

We've got movement heading up aisle 34.

We've got him. West corridor.

Tactical surveillance.

Mobile, waiting for call.

Tell everyone to stay out of sight.

We're tracking him using GPS.

Do not follow. Ray, do you hear me?

Do not go in there.

Do we have cameras in there?

Negative.

All right, everyone, sit tight.

Damn it.

Why'd you pull me out?

'Cause you look like a cop.

Why isn't the signal moving?

He switched bags.

Take him now.

Yeah, I got him.

Sir! Sir!

Slow down. Sir.

Hey, hold on!

Officer down, officer down, code three.

Send medics.

In pursuit of the suspect.

Heading to west stairwell.

This is a restricted area, sir!

Shots fired, shots fired!

- Damn it, I'm a cop!

- Show me your badge.

I... hang on, hang on!

Now that's a real man.

Freeze!

In the upper catwalk,

shots fired, shots fired.

Stop, stop right there!

Don't, please.

You should have listened.

I am listening, I am.

I told you no cops.

I'm not a cop today. Okay?

Truth is, you and I are

not so very different.

We both know loss.

But I never took anything from you.

- Until now.

- Don't, please.

You take life from me.

I take life from you.

No.

That child, the others

are on your head now.

- No.

- I see you in hell.

No, no, no, no, no!

No!

Tell me he didn't make the call.

He didn't make the call.

No ID, just these.

We should get these worked out.

Probably burner phones anyway.

So you're telling me we've got a bomb

strapped to a kid somewhere in this city

that only an unidentified dead man

knows the location of, that's awesome.

Only six hours and 42 minutes to find him.

- Where are you going?

- Am I reinstated?

- No.

- Under arrest?

- No.

- Then that's my own f***in' business.

I hope you have insurance.

I hope you become a man one day.

So you wanna settle this right here?

- This isn't a game for me.

- But it is for me?

I don't know what it is for you.

I've got five hours and 40 minutes

to save someone's life.

What are you doin' here?

So you wanna help me save him?

Are you wanna go write another report?

We're closed.

I said we're closed.

Hey, get back...

Everybody down! Now!

Get down now!

Everybody on their knees!

Now, you know who the hell I am?

Get down, now! On your knees now!

Why you messin' with my man, b*tch?

Stay back, ma'am, ma'am.

- That hurt!

- I need you to calm down.

Turn off the damn music.

Down!

Everybody, now! Now!

- Now, now!

- On your knees!

We need you out of there, please.

Listen, I don't give a

damn about your warrants,

drugs, hookers, or any meth

you're cookin' in the back.

I just need some information.

Can anyone ID this guy? Anyone?

Take a good look, there's a kid

with a bomb strapped to him.

Can anyone identify this guy?

How 'bout these tats?

Actually look at it, guys, come on!

It's a tattoo shop,

you recognize these tats?

There's a bomb strapped to a little kid.

Frank.

I got a get out of jail free card

for anyone who gives us information.

You sure you don't recognize these tats?
