- What?

You're Vince's partner.

You must have known

about his condition.

Look, all I know is the guy's

got eight months to go

before he can retire

with his head held up high.

You take that away from him,

you are gonna kill him.

- He's a danger on the job.

- I have it under control!

From where I'm standing,

no, you don't.

Are these the suspects

from near the scene?

- Yeah.

- Who do you like?

This guy. Tim Lawton.

- We have any proof?

- He's single,

he lives near

where we found the body, but...

mostly, I just don't like him.

Do we have enough

for a warrant?

Not yet.

Mr. Dersh.

How can I help you?

I have something to tell you.

- What's this?

- Jewelry. Maya kept bringing home all this

new stuff

over the last few weeks...

said she got it from an online collector.

But the thing is, when I checked

her credit card statement,

there was only one purchase.

So, maybe you can tell me

where she got the rest.

Where did she buy

the first one from?

Lawton Antiquities.

Mr. Lawton,

it's the police!

Mr. Lawton, I have a warrant to

conduct a search of the premises!

OK, open it up.

I walked through

the whole house. It's

beyond neat, like he doesn't

really live here.

These are the only signs

of life, and they're all

to sell to other people.

No art of his own,

no plants, no family photos.

You see his clothes?

All identical.

This guy lives for control.

It's like he's playing a part,

keeping up appearances.

All these curtains closed...

You think

we spooked him before?

Has he run?

Maybe, but there's no sign

that Maya was ever

inside the house.

No sign

of a murder weapon, no...

- What?

- Look.

- One's missing.

- The poker.

What was the prelim

on the murder weapon?

Something with heft and a sharp point?

So, where is it?

Good question.

Where does this second wire go?

This is interesting.

Huh.

I don't have a good feeling

about this.

Hey.

What's your name?

Is it too bright?

Do you remember me?

I'm Dr. Malone.

Can you tell me your name?

I realize this must be

overwhelming for you.

Are you frightened?

You're safe.

The man who locked you up

can't get you here.

It's just to protect you.

Where is he?

We don't know

where Tim Lawton is.

But we'll find him.

He's safe?

Thank you.

Thank you, thank you,

thank you.

- Any progress with the name?

- Well, we know she's not a relative,

so we're looking at missing girls

to see if we can find a match.

She's malnourished, basically

living in a prison cell.

- Why does she even care about his safety?

- Stockholm Syndrome?

Possibly.

Her survival, her identity,

would all have been linked

to Tim Lawton.

Yeah, like kids who were
