Carroll was convicted in 2004 for the murders of 14 young women.
- Don't do that, Claire. - Take me to my son.
- What's next, Joe? - Enjoying my family.
I really do believe that you will love me again.
Mom!
Oh, my God, Joey.
It's not gonna work, Joe.
The FBI discovered the camp.
It's what you thought. A boot camp where they trained.
So our military cult peeps are all part of Freedom 13.
- A militia? Mm-hm.
Joe Carroll is associated with Daniel Monroe.
- What are the FBI gonna find there? - Everything.
The contraband could trace back to Daniel.
He's a friend, Joe.
This is precisely why I won't be asking you to kill him.
- Agent Weston. Tell us where Claire is. - I don't know.
You know everything about me. Roderick? That what they call you?
I wanna introduce you to someone. This is Sheriff Nelson of Havenport.
- Whatever we can do to help. - Great.
If Joe Carroll is here, we're gonna find him.
I've got roadblocks set up on every road in and out of town.
- Doing car searches. - Still waiting on property records.
Yeah, I'll call the courthouse, see if, uh, I can't get them to hustle.
Thank you. I know it's been a long night.
It's all good. We never get this kind of excitement around here anyway, so, uh...
I'll be right back.
- Hey. - Hey.
- How you doing? - Knock me down, I get back up.
Mitchell could use you in the computer lab. It's in the back.
- She's going through the police dockets. - Will do.
Yeah, Bennie, I'm checking on those property records.
There's a whole army of FBI folks here today.
That's classified, Bennie.
Yeah.
Yep.
- Excuse me, sheriff. - Yeah?
What can I do for you?
You need to put your hands up.
- Excuse me? - You heard me. Hands up.
Shouldn't you be in the hospital right now? Near death?
I'm right here.
And you need to put your hands up now.
Oh.
Oh, that's not gonna happen.
Hey, hey. Stop right there. Hey.
- He's got a gun. He's got a gun. - Stop him.
Hey. Hey, I'm a federal agent.
I'm a federal agent. Stop the sheriff.
Deputies are being put in holding until they can be vetted.
We need to figure out who's in this cult.
I want a full report of every single person that worked in this office. Civilians too.
Hey, you okay?
He was right in front of me.
We'll get him.
Okay, Roderick's real name is Tim Nelson of Crowley, Virginia.
His mom is a retired mayor. His father was an Army colonel.
Died in the Gulf War when he was a child. He went to Winslow University.
Graduated 2004. Political science major, minor in literature.
I'll give you one guess who his faculty advisor was.
How does someone like that become sheriff?
Hell if I know. I mean, the guy won awards.
We'll question everyone, maybe turn something up.
So we've made Roderick. The cult's gonna try to make a move now.
We need to lock this town down.
I need you to keep a close eye on them for me.
Please, heh, Claire hates me.
I'm the last person who should be watching her.
I stole her son, Joe. I'm sleeping with her husband.
I'm not winning her over any time soon.
- Heh, does she know about us? - No.
That will stay between us.
- It's more fun that way. - Heh.
There's nothing in the news about Daniel Monroe's death. They're keeping it quiet.
Hmm.
No news is good news, I suppose.
We have a problem, Joe.
We are...
...royally screwed.
All right. National Guard's en route. State police are manning the road blocks.
Coast Guard is monitoring waterways. Got two choppers. D.C. Sent more.
Okay, what about the sheriff's residence?
Uh, it's a small apartment in town. Basically empty.
- A fake home for his fake life as a sheriff. - He's at his real home with Joe.
Where are we on property records, real estate reports...
...foreclosures in the last year?
We're looking for a big piece of property. It's gonna be rural, hidden away.
Here comes the press.
Media blackout, folks, until we know what we're dealing with.
The agent saw my face, Joe.
He recognized me. How was I to know he'd walk into the station?
- It you'd dealt with him properly... - I put him in the hospital.
Look, we have an escape plan, we need to execute it.
We divide ourselves up, we leave in small groups.
- All of us. - Roderick, you have to calm down.
We're in trouble here, Joe. And it's your fault.
- I told you to leave Daniel Monroe alone. - Oh.
You didn't have to kill him.
The FBI found Daniel Monroe.
- I didn't have a choice. - That's what led the FBI here in the first...
Look...
...I fixed the property records and hid this place...
...but it's just a matter of time now. They will find us.
- We need to leave now. - No.
It's not time yet.
Heh, not time?
I don't understand, Joe.
- Is there something I don't know about? - No.
No, of course not.
What is it, Joe? There's something you're not telling me.
Roderick, you are clearly getting paranoid.
We have a long history together, you and I.
You can trust me.
- Joe, if there is a different plan... - Oh.
...some other vision that you have for us, now is the time to tell me.
I have done everything for you.
I have dedicated my entire life to you.
I'm the one out there watching things for us while you sit here...
...day after day, writing a book...
...wining and dining a wife that's never gonna want you back.
It was all a lie, huh?
You used me?
You need to pull yourself together.
Or what?
You gonna kill me?
You gonna kill me like you did Daniel?
Joe.
Joe?
You're gonna wanna see this. Ryan Hardy's on the news.
The FBI has reason to believe that Joe Carroll and his cult of followers...
...are somewhere in the vicinity of Havenport, Maryland.
- You don't have an exact location? - We're narrowing it down.
In the meantime, we're willing to make a deal.
If any follower or acolyte of Joe Carroll is willing to cooperate with authorities...
...they will be given full immunity from prosecution...
...for crimes he or she may have committed.
They need to contact the Havenport Sheriff's Office with that information.
But keep in mind...
...that this is a one-time, one day, first come, first served deal only.
What is it?
Ryan's holding a press conference.
I know there's doubt among you.
But I'm speaking to that one person that simply made a mistake by following Joe.
There's still time for you.
You can turn back and be completely exonerated...
...if you'll just help us.
The FBI are clearly desperate.
We, on the other hand, are not.
So Emma's bad?
What about Jacob?
He's my favorite.
We play video games together. He's nice.
Sweetie...
...I'm so sorry, but we can't trust any of these people.
But you know what?
We have each other, don't we?
We're gonna leave real soon, I promise, okay?
Mom! Mom!
Mom!
- What are you doing? - Mom!
Mom!
No, please, don't you dare do this! Don't!
- Joey! - Mom!
- Joey! Joey! No! - Mom!
What's going on? Why did he take Joey? What's happening?
We had a disagreement. I'm handling it.
- How? He left! - I will find Joey. I promise you.
Where is he taking him? What is he going...?
Claire!
I've said I will find Joey.
I will fix this.
Now you need to calm down.
Because I am having a really bad day.
- I'd go myself, but the FBI's all over town. - No.
You can't risk that.
I should go. Joey knows me.
Hmm, heh.
Uh, Jacob, you know Michael and Ethan.
We've met.
Jacob has developed a very strong rapport with my son...
...so he'll be going with you to find Roderick.
He's a wanted man. No place for him to hide in town.
He'll run. He'll use back roads with smaller roadblocks.
He's got multiple fake IDs.
But I want you to start with Ryan Hardy.
If anyone knows how to find Roderick, it'll be him.
Yes, sir. We'll monitor the sheriff's station closely.
And, please, bring my son back.
And kill Roderick.
He's betrayed us.
Make him suffer if you can.
I was supposed to get off an hour ago, but Kerry didn't show up for her shift.
I'll call you when I get off.
Damn, Tim, you scared me.
Hey, what did you do? Everyone's looking for you.
I need your help, Betty.
Who told you to hold a press conference?
You have no authority to offer a deal.
I know. I'm just trying to get one of them to come forward, to talk.
It could work. There's always dissension in a cult.
If just one person is questioning their commitment, that's all we need.
All I'm asking is that you run stuff by me.
- We're working towards the same goal here. - Now you tell me.
A waitress from a diner in town...
...was seen getting in the car with the sheriff a few minutes ago.
- Why don't I pull over and you take my car? - I told you, Betty, they are wrong about me.
This is all one big misunderstanding.
There's police up ahead. What should I do?
Act natural. And call me Brian.
- Hey there. What's going on? - Can I get some IDs?
Step out of the car, sir.
Drive.
Jacob.
Hey, I know you're going to look for Joey.
I'll bring him back, Claire.
I know you care about him. I do.
He's a little kid. He doesn't have a choice in this.
So, please, if you find him, please, don't bring him back here.
Take him far away, somewhere the police can find him.
Because he doesn't belong here. You know that.
I am doing what Joe wants.
Hey.
You killed those men.
No other option, Betty.
This is not happening.
- I'm afraid it is, Betty. - Oh, my God. No, no.
Drop the gun.
Freeze where you are.
Drop the gun.
Put it down!
Right now!
- Don't shoot. - Drop the weapon. Drop the gun.
Drop it. Now!
- Get down. - No, no.
- On the ground! - I surrender.
- Get down. - I surrender.
I'm gonna cut right to the chase.
I made a rather impulsive move earlier.
It's a character defect.
Gets me in a lot of trouble.
Needless to say, I wanna make a deal.
A deal requires you to have something that I need.
- Where's Joe? - Oh, he's somewhere.
And he is really mad at me.
See, I took a little, uh, insurance policy from Joe to protect myself from you...
...and anybody else who might wanna kill me.
His name is Joey Matthews.
Joey.
That ring a bell?
You expect me to believe that you have Joe Carroll's son?
You don't have to believe me. Call Joe and ask him yourself.
Okay, you got a number handy?
I had a phone on me when you arrested me.
Get that phone.
Why'd you take Joe Carroll's kid?
I told you, I'm impulsive.
Roderick.
Hello, Joe.
I take it from this call that, uh, you have Roderick in custody, Ryan?
Yep, I'm staring right at him. He's about to tell me where I can find you.
No, if, um, heh...
If that indeed were true...
...then, uh, I suspect we'd be having this conversation in person, Ryan.
So clearly, this call is about something else entirely.
Well, he has been telling me a very interesting story about Joey.
Is it true?
Would you, um? Would you please tell Roderick...
...that if anything untoward should happen to my son...
...that I will personally peel the skin from his body?
Wow.
Things really aren't going your way, are they, Joe?
What was that?
Let him sweat.
Okay.
What do you want?
It's simple.
I'll give you the boy...
...and you give me my freedom. - Heh, that is not gonna happen.
Let me make this clear. Under no circumstances...
...are we negotiating with that killer. He just murdered two troopers.
- So you're okay with the kid dying? I'm not. - No one's okay with him dying.
- How do we know this isn't a trap? - A risk I'm willing to take.
Look, this is my call, Ryan.
I'm not sanctioning a deal. We'll find another way.
Don't talk.
You take me to Joey, I cut you loose.
Knew I could count on you.
Hey, come here. Get in here.
Come on, come on. Let's go, let's go.
Ryan, you'll never get out of here.
Give him the hat.
And the jacket.
Now. Now.
- Oh, there's a camera at the end of this hall. - Already took care of it.
- How you wanna play this? - Once Joey's safe, I'll escort you...
...out of town, past the roadblocks. After that, you're on your own. Get in.
Get rid of your gun and your cell phone.
Not happening.
You want that kid dead?
Tick tock, Ryan, keep on wasting time.
And the weapon you took off the agent, if you please.
Which way we heading?
North.
- Yes, Emma, what is it? - I just...
Come.
Ah, everyone's sort of freaking out.
You know, with the FBI so close.
- We're safe here. - Are we?
For how long?
- I mean, everyone's worried. - Everyone...
...just needs to calm down.
Now, is there anything else?
I'm worried about Joey.
Mm-mm.
You need to stop this.
Now, I do realize that I may have given you mixed signals...
...regarding certain aspects of our relationship.
It's called sex, Joe.
Yes, Emma.
It is sex. That's all it is...
...and nothing more.
Joe, I am not some sniveling schoolgirl. I know exactly what it is.
Then you should also know that it has its proper place and time...
...and clearly this is not it.
No, now is the time for you to worry about Joey's life...
...since you were so neglectful of it earlier.
Are you blaming me?
Joey was with your wife...
You have had one job since the beginning and that was to watch over my son.
Claire tried to kill me. She wouldn't let me get anywhere near...
What is wrong with you?
- No, Emma... - No.
So he's inside the house?
Why don't we go see?
Come on, now.
At the location. Ryan and suspect are inside.
- We're at the road's turn. - I'll get closer.
Hang tight till I have eyes on the kid.
Waiting for a go. Have your men ready to move on my orders.
Now I've drunk the Ryan Hardy juice.
- This your place? - No.
But don't worry.
I don't think the owner will mind us being here.
Where's Joey?
Hey, come here. It's okay, I got you.
Hey, you're safe now. Come here.
It's okay. It's okay.
- Get back. - Drop your weapon.
Okay, you all right? You good?
Stay right here. Stay right there.
Hey, it can't be our guys. They're waiting for my call.
It's Joe's people.
Cover me.
Get back. Get back.
Stay back. Stay back.
Stop shooting at the house, idiot. You're gonna hit the kid.
There's at least a couple of them out there.
It's Weston. We got shots fired. Carroll's followers on scene.
Any time you wanna show up.
Okay.
They stopped firing.
Means they're coming. I want you to take Joey, find someplace safe for him.
You're gonna go with Agent Weston, okay?
Cover the back of the house.
I got you, you ready? Go, go.
Come on, come on. Here we go. Keep going.
Stay right here. I'm just gonna check the house, okay?
- Come right back. - I promise.
Hey, squirt, where you been? Your mom's been looking everywhere for you.
Shh.
Joey's gone.
That way.
Let me go.
- Mom said you were one of the bad guys. - That's crazy talk.
- Uh, tell you what, okay? We can ask her. - Let him go, Jacob.
Get down, get down, get down.
Stay where you are!
Throw out the gun.
This could end right now.
I gotta bring him back to Joe. He's counting on me.
Joe doesn't care if you live or die.
Jacob.
He's just a kid, man.
You gotta do what's best for Joey.
I know you care about him, Jacob. He doesn't deserve this.
Let him go.
Please, let me go, Jacob.
Jacob, come on.
Nobody has to get hurt here.
Come on, you can end this. You can end it right now.
It's up to you.
You okay?
You're Ryan Hardy.
Yeah.
My mom said you're one of the good guys.
Come here.
Breaking news from Havenport where we just learned...
...that the FBI has in fact rescued Joey Matthews.
Now, Joey, who is Joe Carroll's young son...
...had been taken from his home several weeks ago.
The FBI is not commenting on the circumstances surrounding the rescue...
...as Joey's mother, Claire, is still missing...
...but the FBI does believe that Carroll... - Turn that off, Aaron.
- In the area, but there are no further details at this time.
Residents of Havenport are being asked...
And you cry?
My son is safe.
Our son is safe, Joe.
And we have Ryan bloody Hardy to thank for that.
Yeah?
Hey.
Mind if I come in?
- What happened tonight? - Emma, please.
Nothing has to change, you can still hate me. I just want to make sure you're okay.
What happened tonight?
We're gonna die soon.
I can feel it.
- Joe? - Not now, Claire.
- I know you're upset. - Yes.
And I am processing those feelings using the therapy of words, so...
Joe, I'm here.
Joe.
I want to make a deal.
I'm listening.
I'll stay.
I'll do everything you ask under one condition.
No, no, no.
- You're not gonna hear me out? - You want me to give up Joey.
It's not the life I want for him.
I know it's not the life you want for him, so I will stay, I won't fight you.
But it's just... It's just gonna be you and me.
And you'd be okay with that?
Eventually, yes.
- Why should I believe you? - You don't have to.
Time will be the truth.
I loved you once, Joe.
Maybe I can learn to love you again.
I mean, at least... At least let me try.
If I give up Joey?
Yeah.
- But you're scared of me. - Just give me some time.
No, no, no! Get off me! No!
No! No!
Get off me!
Get off me, get off me!
May I speak to Ryan Hardy, please?
- Can you push in here? - Yep.
Hang on.
- Yeah? - Hello, Ryan.
Well, well.
How are you?
Not, heh, terribly well, actually, Ryan.
I'm sorry to say that our story has taken an unexpected turn.
What happened? You don't sound so good, Joe.
Well, it's, um...
It's bad, Ryan. Heh, it's really, really bad.
It's a complete rewrite, but if we have to, we have to.
Yeah, it's a nuisance, but there we are, heh.
Suffice to say, Ryan, it, um has not been a very good day, heh.
- What happened? Where's Claire? - Ha, ha.
Yes, it has transpired that Claire is no longer our leading lady.
No, she will not be riding off into the sunset with me.
Sadly, it is time for Claire to die.
Hey, Ryan, there's a woman here. Says she's part of Carroll's cult.
She saw the news. She wants to talk.
I'm not armed. You don't need the guns.
I checked, she's clean.
Just the same. Who are you?
Melissa. I wanna turn myself in.
Look, I saw you on the news.
Please, help me.
Bring her back.
Thank you.
