You wanna call tami

and ask her right now?

No. He's not going to tami.

Yeah, 'cause I'm not going to let

that happen! Now hang up the phone!

- Terry...

- Hang up the phone!

Okay. I'm-I'm sorry.

Jessie, don't hang up.

Please, we need a lawyer.

shh. It's okay.

All right, let's go to plan b.

Lewis, you ready with

that gps launcher?

Yes, sir.

Spike, get in position.

Aim for the rear bumper.

Copy that.

If we can make this work,

Lew, we can back off.

Donna, we're the distraction, on my go.

Go now.

What are they doing?

Jessie, I think we're done...

Terry, look!

They're gonna shoot!

They're gonna kill us!

Cover's blown, Lewis.

You got no time.

Take the shot, Lew.

Hold on to Owen! Hold on!

What are they doing?!

We have a baby!

Got it.

It's holding, boss. All good.

Good.

- Signal's up.

- All right.

We got him tagged with the gps.

Let's see where he's going...

Spike, I'm gonna fall back.

Copy that.

We're gonna pull back, let them

slow down, and keep that baby safe.

Copy that.

Copy. Falling back.

Jess, it's okay, we lost 'em.

I think we need to stop this.

All I want is

what everybody wants.

I know. I want that, too,

but, I mean...

All that time I was away,

all I could think of was you.

Us and him all together.

Where were you, Terry?

What did you do?

Boss, the girl listed a "Terry Dornan"

as next of kin on her hospital form.

That's great, Winnie. Go ahead.

If this is him, he's got a record,

and a long history of violence.

Listen to this.

Terry Sebastian Dornan,

20 years old.

Last few months.

He was in jail for assault.

On the 15th of june, police were

called to 1678 ossington,

where mr. Dornan and an acquaintance,

Kurt Lawford, shared an apartment.

Upon arriving, police noted blood

on the walls, floor, and ceiling...

Jess, I can do this for you and him,

but I just want to do one more thing.

- I really think we should stop now, Terry.

- Please, just one more thing.

Then we'll go downtown

and we'll turn ourselves in.

Okay, one more thing.

Boss, we lost 'em.

Yeah.

I see 'em.

I'm taking the off-Ramp.

Okay, team, let's take

the next exit and look back.

I just want to do one thing

as a family, Jess.

It'll be great. You'll see.

Okay?

Team, any eyes on the subject?

Negative.

Winnie, you still trying that number?

No answer last four times.

Okay, keep trying.

Anything else on dornan?

Background, family, anything?

Both parents are dead.

Though they didn't die together.

Mother died. Looks like

some sort of car accident.

He was four.

Father. I'm just getting

a date almost a year later.

After that, I'm getting

multiple addresses for Dornan.
