You really think you can force Matt Clark
into telling us where Noah is?
Yeah, I think I can.
But how, Victor?
Before we do, tell me more
about Matt Clark's new identity.
Was it Mitch Bacall?
Unfortunately, we don't know
much more than what Michael
was able to dig up.
Matt Clark somehow faked his own death.
No idea how he did that.
But then he came to LA
and became a club owner.
Huh. But you also mentioned something about drugs?
Yeah, he's clearly mixed up
with drug trafficking.
Fentanyl.
Fentanyl? That's bad news, man.
Yeah. Unfortunately, the police
haven't been able to make
any of the charges stick.
Well, we all know that he is
very good at escaping the law
and accountability.
What I still don't understand
is why he's risking it all to come after us again.
Mitch Bacall was doing great.
Matt Clark could have stayed dead forever.
But instead, he's putting Noah through God knows what
just because he's our son.
Going someplace?
No, no, no, no.
Well, that just warms my heart.
Look how protective my wife is
with the boy she's been
screwing around with.
How long you been putting your hands
where they don't belong, Sienna?
Listen, I'm not denying it.
Good. 'Cause that would just be a total waste of time.
You haven't answered my question.
I don't know, Mitch.
Not long, okay? It just--it just happened.
And yet you were denying it.
-Why are you doing this? -Well, I would think
it would be obvious.
I'm the wounded husband. I'm the wounded friend.
You lied, you cheated, and I trusted both of you.
Okay, all right. And now you made your point.
Have I? I don't know if I have yet!
I think I could pretty much shoot you dead
and call it a crime of passion, plead temporary insanity.
You know what? I'm not so sure how temporary it is!
Oh, that's not nice, and I've been very nice to you.
I could have locked you up
in separate weird, secret little rooms.
But I thought you might enjoy keeping each other warm,
and it must be so nice for you
to not have to sneak around anymore!
Okay, you know what? This is sick, Mitch.
It's sick! You locking us up in here without food and water?
How far are you gonna take this, huh?
Oh, all the way, babes.
So you're planning on killing us.
Well, it's an option on the table.
And we do have the guns.
But before we get into all of that,
[shouting] you haven't answered my question!
-Okay, I don't know-- -How long has this
-been going on? -What difference does it make?
I'm not talking to you, sweet pea.
I'm talking to your very, very young boyfriend.
Noah. How long have you been running around with my wife?
Oh, and don't kid yourself.
You're not the first young friend she's had.
Oh, you son of a bi--
-Get your hands off of her! -Down, boy.
Down.
You wouldn't want me to really hurt her, would you?
♪♪
You know...
it seems odd to me
that Matt Clark would choose this particular identity.
What, being a club owner
or a drug dealer?
No. Club owner. I mean, think about it.
Apparently, the club is very successful,
meaning that people walk in and out.
They could recognize him any time.
Well, it's his arrogance, Victor.
Matt has always believed
that he was the smartest person in any room.
He still believes that he can gaslight anybody
into believing he is whoever he says he is.
His wife bought into it.
Well, do you think she's innocent?
As far as we know, she is.
What are you thinking, Dad?
Michael Baldwin tells me...
the club is doing very well financially.
Apparently, it is.
So he's living comfortably, right?
That just makes me sick.
He shouldn't be alive at all.
No, I think it's a good thing
that he has money.
The more he has, the more he has to lose.
-What are you getting at? -I'm gonna force his hand.
See, the problem with people
who think they're the smartest person in the room
is that there's always someone smarter than they.
You touch her again, and I will kill you.
Oh, yeah? How you gonna do that, kid?
With my bare hands, if I have to.
Oh, look at you-- your tough talk, stupid talk.
I hold all of the cards because I hold all of the guns.
Do you really think you were gonna get away with this?
We weren't trying to get away with anything.
It's like Sienna said-- things just happened.
No, no, no, no.
Noah, things didn't just happen.
I been watching the two of you for weeks now,
sneaking little glances at each other
when you thought my back was burned.
And that upsets me. But you know what really pisses me off...
is that you thought I was so stupid that I wouldn't notice!
Let's stop pretending this is all about Sienna and me.
You telling me it's about something else?
Yeah, you targeted me from the beginning.
Okay? You weren't trying to be my friend or mentor.
No, you wanted to bring me here
to continue this insane vendetta you have against my parents!
You've done it now, Mitch, or Matt
or whatever the hell your name is!
But when will it end, huh?
How much do they have to suffer until it finally satisfies you?
Oh, we're nowhere near close to the end, son.
We're just gettin' started.
At least admit the truth. You can do that, can't you?
This whole thing is about my parents
and how much you hate them.
Yeah, I-I am gonna have to deal with them at some point,
but right here, right now, this is about you two
and what you've done to me.
Oh, come on, Mitch.
We both know that our marriage has been over for a long time.
Okay? We've just been going through the motions.
Maybe you have.
Not me.
Then I'm sorry.
I really wanna believe that.
I mean it.
Except you don't.
Mitch...
I should have been honest with you.
I regret that. I do.
But Noah and I, we didn't plan any of this.
You gotta stop saying that, Sienna, stop saying that.
What you guys are doing right now--you planned it!
You had to make plans.
You planned your little get togethers.
You planned sneaking around behind my back,
so stop saying you didn't plan this.
And that's the other thing is it wasn't even behind my back.
You did it right in front of my face.
I saw it with my own two eyes.
I see the way you look at him, Sienna,
and it enrages me.
It makes me wanna do really bad things.
And you have every right to be angry.
Oh, thank you so much. Thanks for your permission!
We were wrong to sneak around the way we did, okay?
Because you were good to me, Mitch.
You taught me a lot of stuff. You helped me.
And if I was in your shoes, I'd be just as pissed.
And we should have been up front with you about that,
and I apologize.
Apology not accepted.
Come on, man. It doesn't have to be this way.
Really? Says who? [laughing]
Let us go. We leave now. We walk outta here,
and you never have to see us again.
Oh, I'm already planning on never seeing you again.
I'm serious, okay? We don't have to say a word about this
to anybody, right?
Right, we won't, Mitch. I promise you.
You're making a promise to me?
Whoa, whoa, whoa, easy.
-Easy. -You're a cop, Burrow.
You must know that you're already
an accessory to kidnapping and false imprisonment.
Oh, congratulations. You know the law.
That's impressive.
I'll make you the same deal I just offered Mitch, okay?
If we leave now, we walk outta here,
we won't say anything to anybody about this, okay?
We'll forget this ever happened.
Oh, I-I'd have a problem with that, Noah.
That would be hard for me.
See, I don't wanna forget all about this.
I really wanna remember what it feels like
when my wife betrays me with a young punk,
and I wanna remember what it feels like
when I get payback.
You look a little tense there, Newman.
So why don't you just take the edge off just a little bit?
Go ahead.
Take a hit.
Not a chance, Mitch.
I'm not asking.
What we will do is we'll back Matt Clark into a corner...
by threatening to take away everything he owns
unless he returns Noah safely.
But how will we do that, Victor?
We don't have any leverage.
You're gonna use Cane's AI program, aren't you?
You got it. Can you think of a better reason?
No, I can't.
You remember that software program
that Cane was threatening to use against all of us?
Yeah, I remember.
Dad's got it.
It's inside Cane's business right now...
bleeding him dry slowly.
And you wanna use it against Matt?
Unless, of course, the two of you have difficulty
with the legal aspects of it.
None.
Good.
So how are you gonna do it?
Well, we will unleash it...
on Matt Clark's business.
Take away all of his assets...
unless he returns Noah safely.
Once he starts to lose everything,
-then he'll lead us to Noah. -Yeah.
But we have to act very quickly.
'Cause as you damn well know,
Noah could be in serious trouble.
So you're gonna force me to use drugs?
-That's your game now? -No, it's not a game.
Although, if it were a game, it might be kinda fun to watch.
And who knows? You might like it.
-Stop it, Mitch. -Quiet down, buttercup.
What'd you think was gonna happen, huh?
You think I'd just have like a little hissy fit,
a little temper tantrum and then get over it?
You know what Sienna told me when we first met?
She said I live my life to the max.
It's still kinda my thing, only now it's...
really about payback. [laughs]
You are that man, aren't you?
What are you saying, sweetums?
That monster that everyone says you are.
Uh, you can't believe every story that you hear.
You gotta consider the source.
I don't need to hear any stories, Mitch.
I can see this now with my own eyes.
What are you gonna do about it?
All right, let's get down to it.
I know you're curious. I know you really wanna know
what's in that bag, and I am a person
who believes in full transparency,
so I'll tell you. It goes by many names.
It's called Apache, Tango and Cash, Jackpot, Murder 8.
There's one more. There's one more.
-Fentanyl. -There you go.
You're insane if you think I'm gonna get hooked on this stuff.
Well, I don't know if you're gonna get hooked on it or not,
although I hear it's a pretty powerful master.
Mitch, stop this. Please. Please don't do this.
I'm not doing anything.
He's gonna do it, and he's gonna do it right now.
-No, I'm not, Mitch. -Yes, you are.
You are going to take those drugs,
or I'm gonna kill Sienna.
Listen carefully. The name of the club is The Shadow Room.
Right. Now, find a way to get inside of its cyber system...
so that it releases its software.
Right.
When you have answers, you call me, okay? Thank you.
Does the AI program work that quickly?
It works amazingly quickly.
Once we're inside the system, we're in control of it.
And then Matt Clark has a choice to make.
He either loses everything he owns, or he leads us to Noah.
-You got it. -My concern is
we're not dealing with a rational person here, Dad.
No, he's a psychopath.
He lives to inflict pain on people.
And to think that Noah--
Sharon, you must not think that way right now, okay?
We are on the way to solve this problem.
Dad, it's kinda hard to do that.
Ever since we've been to LA, it's been one horrible thing
-after another. -Son, I understand, okay?
This has been very difficult for both of you.
Actually, for all of us, all right?
We didn't know for a long time what was going on.
But we're on the way to find a solution, all right?
Victor, he can't win.
He is not going to win.
We will not let him win. Trust me.
I'm gonna get that son of a bitch.
What still gets me is this bastard
planned this whole thing.
You know, he targets our son in London,
makes friends with him, then he invites him out to LA
and says he's gonna help him open up a club.
And then he tries to kill him.
All to get back at us.
If this bastard were here right now,
I'd kill him with my bare hands.
And this time, it'd be for good.
You son of a bitch.
So you have a choice now, Noah. You have to decide.
You have to make a decision.
You're gonna have a little taste.
Maybe you get hooked. Maybe you die.
Or you don't take the drugs,
but then you gotta watch your girlfriend die.
What ya gonna do?
If--if I'm honest, I think we all know
which way this is gonna go,
'cause it's in your blood, right?
Your dad...
always liking to play the hero.
Your mom, too, for that matter. Save the day.
Although, if you go the other way,
I'm not optimistic about your chances,
because, just as a casual observer,
you seem to me to be a little bit of an addictive personality,
seeing as how quickly you got addicted to my wife.
You're enjoying this, aren't you?
Yes, the fulfilment of all of my dreams.
Life's funny, right?
It's really... it's all just about choices.
And then you have to live with the choices that you make.
No matter how long your life lasts.
So what's it gonna be, Noah?
Okay, come on. You have seconds to decide.
I promise you Matt Clark
will get what is coming to him.
That son of a bitch.
And meanwhile, I have to ask you...
-...to keep a clear head. -Yeah.
-So more waiting. -Yeah.
Well, what else can we do now, Nick?
I don't know. I don't know.
I'm just frustrated and I'm scared.
And I just wanna find my kid and hug him
and let him know that everything's okay.
Son, I understand your feelings, I really do,
and you will soon, okay?
I hope you're right, Dad,
because the last words we had with him--they weren't nice.
Nick walked in on Noah kissing Sienna,
and that got it all started.
NICK: I just wanted to make Noah aware of the fact
that Sienna's untrustworthy
and that we had just found out that Mitch was Matt
and that Noah's life could be in danger.
But Noah got mad. He kicked us out of his room.
And the next morning, he checked out of the hospital.
And that's where we are right now.
Oh, boy.
And Matt Clark of course denies knowing anything about this.
He wants us to believe
that Sienna has got Noah hooked on drugs.
Do you believe that?
That junkie that we ran into outside the warehouse
said he saw a kid matching Noah's description
wandering around high on something.
You know...
I've seen a lot of people succumb to drugs.
It would break my heart...
...if that happened to Noah.
But you can't trust a junkie's words.
Yeah, I know that, Dad. We thought that too.
Wait a minute.
You don't think it's true, do you?
I don't know, okay? I don't know what I know.
I just know my son is missing, and I'm concerned
that this could have been Matt's plan all along--
to get my son addicted to drugs.
He wants to torture us into thinking the worst.
We can't let him do that, Nick.
We can't let him get into our heads
any more than he already has!
SIENNA: Don't do it, Noah.
He's bluffing.
You gonna bet your life on that?
Oh, come on, Mitch. You may be a lot of things,
-but you're not a killer. -I wouldn't bet on that, Sienna.
He already tried to kill me once
when he ran me off the road that night--
or are you still trying to deny that one?
Why would I try and deny it?
You'd have to prove it, and good luck with that.
But honestly, I don't even know why
we're still talking about it-- it's kind of a moot point.
So you would really do it? You would shoot your own wife
just to punish me and my parents?
Oh, no, silly, no!
I'm not gonna shoot Sienna.
He is.
Pick up the bag, Noah. It's the smart thing to do.
No, don't, Noah. Don't give him what he wants.
W-what who wants? What I want?
Sienna, do you even know what I want?
Should I tell you?
You know what I want?
I wanna share my life with someone.
I want a life partner. I want a wife.
I want a woman who I can trust so I don't have to worry
if I'm out late or if I'm out of town...
if I'm working, providing for us, for a future for us...
Oh, my God. Cut the great provider crap, Mitch.
You think I knew where you were all those late nights?
Who you were with?
No, no, you don't get to do that right now
'cause you're having an affair.
That is all you care about, isn't it?
That I slept with somebody else?
You didn't care that I wasn't happy.
You didn't care that our marriage turned into
a loveless business deal.
I do care.
That's why it hurts, Sienna.
And I don't understand. Why didn't you just come to me?
We could have talked, we could have had
an honest conversation, we could have tried to fix it.
There's so many things we could have done.
We could have read self-help books.
We could have gone to couples counseling.
We could have gone to a marriage retreat,
you know, with the 90-second hugs, right?
We cou--we could have done yoga,
we could have had green juices to detox us.
So many things we could have done.
We could have cried together. We could have tried to fix it.
All of those things that we could have done.
Those are all options, and you didn't take any of them.
Instead, you chose...
him.
-Mitch. -What?
Come on. This isn't you.
You don't know me.
You don't know me...at all.
Sienna, if you really knew me,
you wouldn't have done this.
Sienna, don't try to reason with him.
Yeah, don't try and reason with me.
I feel really unreasonable right now.
[soft sob]
It's not time for you to try and fix it.
You can't fix this. It's too late, Sienna.
Now it's time for consequences.
You.
Pick up the bag.
SIENNA: Don't.
Don't you do it, Noah.
It could be laced. It could be poisoned.
And if it is, it'll kill you on the spot.
It's like we were saying before.
Life is really just about choices.
What ya gonna do, Noah? Come on, man, you gotta decide.
Tick tock.
Detective, you know what to do.
No--wait.
I can't let them hurt you.
Your devotion is touching.
-No, Noah, please. -Don't listen to her.
Listen to me. I'm gonna tell you what to do right now.
You hit that, okay? Off to paradise.
Hands in the air.
What the hell are you doing?
You heard me.
You put your hands where I can see 'em, Mitch Bacall.
You are under arrest for possession of narcotics
with the intent to sell.
You have the right to remain silent.
If you give up that right, anything you say
can be used against you in the court of law.
Do you understand?
There is no way our son is addicted to drugs.
-We can't know that for sure. -I thought that we both agreed
the guy at the warehouse was lying
-just to get money out of us. -Well, maybe he was,
but we can't rule out anything, not when Matt Clark
-is pulling all the strings. -[phone buzzes]
Hold it a minute.
It's my tech team.
Yes.
You're in?
Use the same protocol as before.
And send me a screenshot. I want it as proof.
Clear? Okay.
We're in.
You released the software?
I push the damn button
anytime I want.
It depends on what Matt Clark wants--
vengeance...or his fortune.
Look at you, reading me my rights and everything.
So by the book.
Did you not hear the part about anything you say
being used against you?
No, no, I heard that part.
Obviously not the first time he's heard the little speech.
Hey, can he remain silent too?
-Everybody quiet. -Because you're in charge.
-That's right. -You gonna put me in cuffs?
As soon as my partner gets here.
Noah, you can drop the baggie.
I thought you were never gonna get here.
I'm here now. What have we got?
Enough fentanyl to prove possession,
and add to that kidnapping and attempted murder.
Hey, Annie, we got him. Call a patrol car.
This bastard's going away for a long time.
Is that right?
Is that how it's gonna go down, Annie?
Is that how you see things happening?
Well, let's just get this over with.
What the hell?
Surprise.
Drop the gun, Burrow.
I will use this if I have to.
You see, Burrow, your friend Annie
is really my friend Annie.
You really think this AI program
will force Matt's hand?
Well, think about it.
It's not only his fortune that's at stake.
-It's his freedom. -Once we get access
to his finances, the program will identify
any money laundering transactions.
You got it.
But the AI program is illegal,
so how do we get any evidence to the authorities?
We point 'em in the right direction.
He's not gonna want this kind of scrutiny.
This will get his attention.
I just hope it's not too late for Noah.
[groans] Why are you doing this, Annie?
Simple math, partner.
I discovered being a bad guy
paid a whole lot better than catching them.
Gotta hand it to you, Burrow.
Your dirty cop routine-- it almost paid off
until you brought Annie in the mix.
She's been on my payroll longer than you have.
-So you blew my cover. -Sorry.
-No, you're not. -Don't be a sore loser.
You coulda had the same deal Annie had,
but you didn't get it, 'cause you're dumb.
You're not gonna get away with this--neither of you are.
Dude, read the room. Consider the circumstances.
You're just gonna keep letting him kill people, Annie,
spread his drugs all over the street?
Okay. Save your breath. It might be one of your last.
Why are we here and not 10 miles down the highway by now?
Because it's exactly where Mitch would think we'd be.
-I got a plan. -Well, I'd love to hear it.
I've just gotta grab a few things,
and then we are outta here.
You think, uh, you think Burrow's...
What? Dead?
-I mean, yeah. -I don't know. Who knows?
You know what? He might be, and if he is,
it's not your fault. It's not our problem.
All right, well, just hurry up. We need to get outta here.
My parents are probably freaking out wondering where I am.
They probably came here looking for me.
We had a fight before I left the hospital.
What about?
-Me? -Yeah. They weren't sure
I could trust you.
Were you sure you could trust me?
Hey, I never doubted you for a second, okay?
Where are you, Noah?
He could be anywhere.
LA is so big.
There are a million places Matt could be hiding him.
I know, but I feel like we were close to him, you know?
-At the warehouse? -Yeah. I just had this feeling
that he was somewhere around there.
And that he was still alive?
Oh, he's absolutely alive, Sharon.
I'm glad you think that, Nick, because so do I.
I feel like...
I would know if he...
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
I've got the screenshot
with a prompt to execute.
Whoa.
You think that'll be enough to convince him?
This means we can wipe him out
with one push of a button.
But if it doesn't convince him,
that threat won't be good for Noah.
We gotta hope his greed is stronger than his hatred for us.
If it were any other human being,
I would agree with you.
But with Matt Clark?
There is nothing stronger than that.
-We need to get going. -Yep. I'm almost ready.
-What is that for? -Protection.
Okay, so what's the plan?
To get as far away from here as fast as we can.
Sounds pretty obvious.
-You ready? -Five minutes ago.
All right. Let's go.
The car's parked in the back. Let's get outta here.
Sienna!
Noah!
Are you here?
If you're here, I'm gonna find you.
You can run, but you can't hide. Not from me.
[car engine starts]
Is anybody following us?
I don't know. I can't be sure.
Hey, you okay?
Yeah, yeah. This drive is bringing up some memories.
-Of the crash that night? -Yeah.
Yeah. I-I still don't remember a lot from that night,
but maybe it's the adrenaline or the heart racing,
you know, fight or flight stuff.
Okay, listen, I wish I could slow down, but it's not--
No, not advisable. I'll be okay.
Maybe he gave up.
Yeah. Wish I could believe that one.
Oh, yeah, me too.
A guy like that is never gonna give up.
Where are you? Come on, come on, come on.
[gasps] There ya are.
Gotcha.
[engine revving]
[phone rings]
Maybe not.
-So where are we going? -Out of the city.
Yeah, yeah, I know, but did you have somewhere specific in mind?
Yeah, there's a place in the desert
and it's way off grid-- nobody knows about it.
-You sure Mitch doesn't? -He shouldn't.
Never told him about it.
Sounds like paradise.
Well, I wouldn't go that far,
but it'll keep us safe for a while.
I just wish I could call my folks.
They probably think I'm dead by now.
-Oh, no. -What?
Mitch. He's right behind us.
-Oh, damn it! -Okay, listen.
There is a phone in the glove box.
It's the one I used to call you.
Mitch doesn't know about it. And if we cannot outrun him,
we are gonna need to call for help.
NICK: Anything?
Went to voice mail.
So now he's avoiding our calls.
Apparently so.
I think it's time we send him a stronger message.
I agree with you.
[phone rings]
What the hell?
VICTOR: Well, I'll be damned.
I thought this would get your attention.
What did you just send me?
A one-way ticket to your financial ruin.
No. Y-you can't do that. I'm gonna hang up now.
Oh, yes, I can.
The push of a button...
my AI system will take over
the control of your company
and transfer all of your money to me.
Unless I hand back Noah?
You're learning quickly.
This is a trick.
Ain't no trick, brother.
Gonna cost you everything to find out if I'm bluffing.
Not gonna happen, brother.
And you are never going to see Noah alive again.
We shall see.
Listen, Matt Clark, do you really wanna throw away
your entire life?
Because that's what you're doing.
Everyone knows the truth.
So stop this nonsense
-before you hurt anyone else. -[phone buzzes]
Dad.
Where's Noah?
-Dad, it's me. -Noah?
Hey, uh, are you all right?
Yeah, I am now.
Thank God!
Dad, I'm so sorry. You were right about everything, okay?
Mitch kidnapped us and held us overnight.
He was gonna force me to do drugs or he'd kill Sienna.
Where are you now?
In Sienna's car. But Mitch is following us,
and he's gaining fast.
He might even try to run us off the road again.
Okay, listen to me. Listen to me, son.
I need you to find a public place,
someplace wide open with lots of people, okay?
Okay. I'm looking.
When you get there, you tell me where it is.
I'm gonna call the police. We'll be right behind them.
Hey, wait. Hang on a minute.
NICK: What?
There's a park over there.
What do you want me to do?
P-pull over. Pull into the parking lot.
-Noah -Sienna, just do it, okay?
Please.
Okay, we found a park. We're pulling in there now.
-Good. -Okay, it's called Hanson Park.
Uh, it's in Westwood. I don't see an address,
but there are plenty of people around.

-Where? Is he driving in here? -I'm not sure.

He just kept going.
SIENNA: Oh, my God.
Oh!
This...isn't...over!
