I was just making some coffee.

Milk? Sugar?

Um, both, please.

Okay. Milk, cold or hot?

Uh...

Hot, please.

So, how's business?

Oh, you know.

Some days good, some days great.

Yeah.

One sugar or two?

Um...

Two, please.

Here we go.

Thanks.

Um...

I'm sorry to

bother you this late...

but I thought it was more,

um, respectful...

to say what I have to say to you

face-to-face, man-to-man.

So to speak.

I know that Lenore has...

She's spoken to you about the

problems that we've been having.

Um...

You're a good guy, Bryan.

I like you.

You're a respectful guy.

And, listen, I'm not

accusing you of anything.

But Lenore and I...

if our marriage is gonna work...

that can't happen

with you in between us.

But, Stuart...

there's nothing

between Lenore and I,

other than we share Kim.

I didn't say there was.

Obviously...

you share a daughter...

and, uh, you've tried to be

the best father that you can,

under the circumstances.

And, uh, part of that

means the two of you

talking and staying in touch.

But I still want you

to stop seeing my wife.

Until we sort things out.

Does she know you're here?

It doesn't matter if she does,

or if she doesn't.

That's not the point.

I'm asking you to stop seeing my wife.

Can you do that?

I can do that.

Wow.

That's great.

Thank you.

I gotta go to Vegas tonight.

Some business meeting tomorrow.

I really don't want to be

worrying about...

you know.

Yeah.

Thank you.

I really appreciate it.

"Need to see you.

Urgent. Bagels."

Uh, four bagels and some

cream cheese, please.

Okay.

Be careful.

They're really hot. Thanks.

Have a good day.

Thanks. Take care.

Hello?

Lennie?

Lennie?

Lennie?

Lennie.

Jesus, God.

Lennie? Wake up!

Come on, come on!

Lennie!

Freeze! Don't move!

Step away from the knife.

Get your hands up!

Sir, back away, now.

I didn't do this.

Get your hands up, now!

Slowly.

Get your hands up.

You gotta listen to me.

On the floor, now!

Listen to me.

Down on the floor!

Listen to me.

Step away from the knife!

On your knees. Now!

Down!

Get your hands up!

Hands up!

Hands up! Higher!

I didn't do this.

Sh*t! Moving in!

He's there!

Hey! Hey!

Drop your weapon!

Oh, he's heading west!

He's heading north.

22nd street. Back alley.

Stop!

Suspect in sight.

Go inside.

I'm heading back.

Hey!

Hey! Police!

Door's sealed!

- I just saw him inside.

- Sh*t!

Clear! Moving in!

You see him anywhere?

He disappeared.

God damn it.

He's gone.

This is 103.

Suspect is gone.

Yeah.

Kim, it's Dad.

Where are you?

I'm at Mom's.

Looking for my yellow sweater.

Are you alone?

Stuart is in Vegas. Why?

I have something to tell you.

Dad?

Dad, what's wrong?

Something terrible has happened.

And I want you

to hear it from me first.

Your mom...

She's dead.

Someone murdered her...

in my apartment.

It looks like I did it.

I don't know why.

I don't know who.

But I'm going to find out.

Listen carefully, Kim.

No matter what anyone says,

don't trust them.

No.

You hear?

I'll find a way to contact you.

But Dad...

Try to be strong.

Dad?

I love you.

Wait.

Sergeant Dotzler,

suspect's name is Bryan Mills.

His?

His.

Not his.

The officers arrived

on the scene because...?

Anonymous call came in,

reported a woman screaming...

"He's killing me.

He's killing me."

Her name is

Lenore St. John.

We sent a car to her address.

It was listed on her license.

Her daughter was there, but her

husband was in Las Vegas on business.

He's, uh, taking

the first flight home.

Any witnesses?

We're canvassing now.

Call came from

an unlisted number.

We're checking out

the cells as well.

Download both of the phones,

correlate the data.

I want to know

when these two people...

spoke, texted, emailed.

Every form of communication.

Dates, times...

duration of calls.

Let's bag this.

Detective, bag that.

What's wrong?

Good.

Right now,

this is still a very active crime scene.

Investigators have been here

on the scene

all morning, but so far...

police have not told us what

happened inside the apartment...

where earlier this morning...

a woman's body was discovered.

Bryan Mills is the owner

of the apartment...

and the ex-husband of the deceased.

- Who's this?

- It's me.

You're on the news.

I didn't do it, Sam.

Obviously, you didn't do it.

Are you all right?

I'm going down the rabbit hole.

The code still the same?

Yeah. It's still the same.

I'll be in touch.

Be careful.

So, this is the area

we lost him, sir.

The guy vanished.

Uh, that's the gun

that he took, uh, off

one of our officers, sir.

He had a gun,

and he didn't fire at you?

No, sir.

And the helicopters...

saw nothing?

Choppers didn't see

anything, sir. No.

I know he's good...

but...

vanishing into thin air?

Let's move the truck.

Do you know why your wife

went to visit Mr. Mills?

No, I don't know.

Their relationship

was mostly centered

around their daughter.

Um, but I think...

he wanted more than friendship.

I asked her to speak to him...

and tell him that he should

stop bothering her about it.

So you think that's what

she was doing over there?

I don't know.

What are you doing?

Stuart, why are they going

through all of Mom's stuff?

Hey, Kim.

Miss St. John,

Frank Dotzler.

Mills. My name is Mills.

Sorry for all the chaos.

We're just looking around

to see if we can find

something to help us.

I know what you're looking for.

I would just really like

them out of her bedroom

for a few minutes.

Garcia, let's vacate

the bedroom.

Everybody out of the bedroom.

Thank you.

If I could just have

a few minutes

of your time.

Ask you a few questions.

Why aren't you out there trying

to find out who did this...

instead of just standing around,

going through our home?

We have people

out there looking.

But in order for me

to get a full picture...

I have to ask questions of him.

I have to ask questions of you.

My mom went to see my dad.

I don't know why.

Probably to talk about me.

Look, there's just...

He didn't do it.

He just didn't.

He didn't do it.

There's no way on earth

he would lay a hand on her.

Just, don't.

He loved her.

That's all I know.

Please.

That's mine.

That's not even hers.

Excuse me.

I'm sorry.

Oh, God.

Come on, let's get you home.

If something comes to mind,

anything at all...

It might not be anything.

Um, you know what

happened in Paris

and Istanbul

a couple years ago...

where Bryan saved his family.

Sure. You think

that's connected to this?

I never really wanted

to know all the details...

but a lot of people ended

up dead and now this.

So what you're telling me is...

I'm dealing with

a very dangerous man.

No.

No. Bryan's not dangerous.

The world he lives in is.

He loves his family...

but he has a lot of enemies.

I see.

Bring him into Room Three.

Garcia will, uh,

get you back home.

Thank you.

This guy's a ghost.

At 21, he's in the army.

At 23, he joins Special Forces.
