Roman wanted an explanation from Hope about why she put a gun in a suspect's face. Hope wanted to avenge Bo's death. Roman didn't understand so Hope wanted to quit the force. Ben watched the bed catch on fire. Chad managed to get himself and Abby off the bed before it exploded. Ben ended up at a motel. Roman wouldn't accept Hope's resignation. He wanted Hope to get help. Hope refused to stop looking for the people who kidnapped Bo. Chad got Abby out of the cabin when the paramedics arrived. Abby wanted to find her baby. Ben broke into Wendy's office to look for milk for Collin. Ben heard Lani and JJ so he hid in the closet. Dr. Malcolm reminded the caller about their agreement. Roman took Hope's badge and guns. JJ didn't understand why Ben went to a midwife. JJ noticed wet footprints on the floor and they pretended to talk about searching somewhere else. Ben tried to sneak out, but Lani and JJ were outside of the office. Ben tried to fight Lani and JJ, but they got the better of him. JJ wanted to know where to find his sister. JJ tried to beat the answer out of Ben, but Lani stopped JJ from hitting him. Lani wanted to get him back to the station without any marks. Ben wouldn't answer their questions. Abby told Chad that they had to look for the baby. JJ found Abby and Chad outside. JJ told t hem that Ben didn't have the baby. Abby was worried that the baby would die. Lani brought Ben to the station. Ben was talking crazy at the station. Chad called Rafe and told him about Ben. Chad let Rafe know that Ben hid the baby. Hope found the other gun she had at the house. Hope snuck into Dr. Malcolm's room. Rafe question Ben about where he hid the baby, but he wouldn't answer him. Chad and Abby went to the station to see Ben. Abby went to see Ben. Hope put her gun on Dr. Malcolm. She used a taser on him too. Ben thought Abby was a ghost, but she asked him about Collin.
Roman: Hope, what's going on? Hope: Cleaning my gun. Roman: Word is, you pretty much lost it when you were questioning a suspect you thought was responsible-- Hope: I didn't think. I knew. He's a doctor, supposedly. His name is Seth Malcolm. He tortured Bo. Roman: Okay. I hear that. But what I need to hear now is that you regret threatening someone you were interviewing. Hope: You know what I regret? Hmm? You want to know? The only thing I regret is that Rafe stopped me. Roman: Hope, you jammed a gun into a suspect's face and pulled the trigger. You want to lose your badge? You want to go to jail? Is that what you want? Talk to me! Is that what you want? [Dramatic music] Malcolm: Did you hear what I said? I was brought in for questioning! The police know that I have a connection to Bo Brady. So? Just pay me. Just pay me and I'll leave town and this will-- this will all be over for you. I don't know what game you think you're playing, but you can't expect me-- I'll call you back. Well, seems as if I have a shadow. Ciara: It just keeps getting worse, you know? Ever since my dad died she keeps getting more and more distant. Man, I talk to her and it's like she doesn't even know that I'm there. Or like she even cares. Chase: Look, just try not to let it get to you. I mean, things are really tough for her now, obviously. I mean, I wish I could talk to her, but she wouldn't listen. She just looks at me and she sees my dad. I was actually planning on going out of town anyway. Ciara: What? Where are you going? Chase: I don't know, Chicago maybe. I have an aunt there. She actually wants me to come live with her. Ciara: No, don't do that. Everything you need is right here. [Screaming] Ben: Yeah. Both of you. Abby: Help us! Ben: Perfect. Abby: [Screams] Chad, we're going to die in here! Chad: No, we're not. No, we're not. Hey, hey, hey, hey! Stay calm! Abby: We're trapped in here! I can't move my arm! Chad: Abby, Abby, look at me. Look at me, Abby! Look at me! All right, I am here. I am right here with you, okay? Abby: Okay. Chad: And we're going to get out of this together. I promise you. Okay? Can you just-- Abby, come on, all right? Abby: I'm never going to see my son again. Chad: Yes, you will. Yes, you will! Abby: I'm never going to see my son again. Chad: Yes, you will! [Screams] Hope: You need to take a breath. There was only one bullet in that gun. It was a Russian roulette play. I had Malcolm scared to death. He was just about to-- Roman: What if you'd killed him? Hope: You think I don't know how to rig a .38 revolver? Okay, all right, so it did-- it got a little intense. So what? Roman: Intense? How about illegal? Page: That bastard-- that son of a bitch was my only chance to find out who was behind Bo being held prisoner for over a year, and literally tortured to death. He doesn't get any rights. Roman: My God, hope. Listen to yourself. Believe me, Bo would not like you thinking like this. Hope: Oh, yes he would. Roman: You know what? When we clip this badge on here we get power. We get authority. But there's responsibility, too. Sure, cops can be tough, yeah. Things get tighter than tight for us out there all the time. But rules matter, hope. Otherwise it's just chaos. Hope: I lost the love of my life when I lost Bo. And you lost the only brother you're ever going to have. Roman: Hope, you just can't-- Hope: How do you stand there and talk about rules? How can you talk about rules, roman? The only thing I care about right now is making sure that those bastards pay for what they did to Bo. Roman: No. By the book or not at all. That's the way the system works, hope. You know that. [Dramatic music] Hope: Okay. Well, I guess you leave me no choice. I quit. Rafe: Well, there's no need to get yourself all worked up there, doctor. Now, if I happen to check up on people from time to time it's only because I want to make sure that things stay peaceful. Malcolm: Well, isn't that thoughtful of you, detective. But you seem to be barking up the wrong tree. You see, I'm the victim in all of this, not the criminal. That label belongs to your colleague detective Brady. Rafe: The thing about that is it's going to be a tough charge to prove. Malcolm: Fine. I didn't want to anyway. I'll tell you what, I'll give you one last offer; a final offer. I'll drop charges if you and your partner leave me the hell alone. Rafe: Sounds doable. Malcolm: Excellent. Rafe: As long as you keep your nose clean. Otherwise what happened to you today is going to seem like a picnic. Chase: You don't want me to go? Ciara: Of course not. This is your home now. Stay. Chase: I mean, come on, Ciara. I'm like this bad memory that everybody has to stare at. Ciara. No, you're not. You're chase Jennings. Just you. Definitely not your father. Don't go, okay? I want you here. Chase: Really? Ciara: Really. I care about you. Don't you know that? [Tender music] Hey, Theo. [Coughing] Abby: This whole place is going to burn down. Chad: Don't give up on me, all right? [Screams] Yes! All right. All right. Okay, okay, okay. I need you to work with me. Come on. Abby: [Coughs] Chad: [Grunts] Let's go. Abby: [Coughs] Chad: Abby, just stay with me, okay? Don't quit on me, all right? Abby: Okay. I can't breathe. Chad: All right, come on. Abby, Abby, Abby. Okay. Okay. Come on, come on. Come on, Abby, stay with me. Stay with me. Okay, we're out of here. I know, I know. Let's go find your little boy. Okay! [Dramatic music] [Baby crying] Ben: Shh. There we go. There we go. Yeah. [Baby crying] Ben: Shh. Shh. You're safe now, Colin. You're safe now, my son. Hey, yeah. Shh. No more mommy. No more whore. No more Chad. No more Chad. You can stop crying. No more Chad. Dead. Dead. Shh. You must be so hungry. Babies are always hungry. Daddies have to feed babies. Not just one stupid can of formula, huh? More than that. Shh, it's okay. It's okay. It's okay, Colin. [Baby crying] Ben: Shh. Damn it, I left my wallet back--it's okay. It's okay. Daddy's got you. Daddy's got you. Daddy's got you. No more mommy. No more mommy. Mommy's dead. Mommy's dead, but daddy's here. Daddy's here. Yeah. Shh. [Baby crying] Ben: Hey, hey. Hey, buddy. Hey. Hey. Shh. Shh. Hey. Hey. You're going to be fine. Daddy's here. He's going to get you something to eat, okay? You're going to be fine. Yeah. Yeah. You're a good boy. You're a good boy. Hey, hey. Hey, brother. Hey. Shh. There, nice and safe. Nice and safe. Nice and safe. Okay. You're a good boy. Good boy. [Baby crying] Daddy gator couldn't push the throttle [Dramatic music] Roman: There's no way I'm accepting your resignation. You're too good a cop to-- Hope: You know damn well I can't be trusted on the job anymore. Roman: That's not true. That's not true, hope. Of course you can. You just need a break. You need a good, long rest. You need to talk to somebody. And when you're feeling better and you can get rid of this idea that you need to get revenge for-- Page: Don't confuse me with someone who is going to change her mind. I'm not. My only job right now-- don't you understand-- is to find out who was responsible for Bo's death. Any way I can. Roman: Well, I got no choice. I am suspending you, temporarily. But effective immediately. Page: Well, you do what you have to do, roman. So will I. [Siren blares] Chad: Abby. Abby? Abby, we're safe now. Abby? Are you okay? Abby? Abby, come on, stay with me. Abby, Abby. Abby. Abby, stay with me, come on. Come on. Abby: [Coughs] Chad: Abby, yes! Okay, that's it, that's it. Let's breathe. Breathe. I know it hurts. I know it hurts. You've just got to keep breathing, all right? It's okay, we're safe now. We're safe now, okay? Is anybody else inside? Chad: No, it was just us. She needs oxygen. My partner's got you, ma'am. Chad: It's okay. It's okay. Just breathe normally, okay? Building is clear. Repeat: Building is clear. How about you? How you doing? Chad: I'm fine, just stay with her, okay? Are the cops here yet? A few minutes. They were coming from farther away. Abby: Okay, okay, okay. I have to find my baby. Ma'am, you need to rest and try to-- Abby: No, I have to find my baby. Chad: Abby, Abby, Abby, come on. It's okay, it's okay. Just stay here with me, okay? Abby: No! I have to find my baby. Chad: Shh. Abby: My baby. Chad: It's okay. JJ: The place looks closed. Lani: Yeah, but we still check. And what do you know, the door's not locked. [Tense music] Anybody here? Police. JJ: Hello? Nobody. Are you sure this is the last place Ben was spotted? Lani: Yeah, that's what I was told. Wendy Taylor's office. JJ: Well then, this is our best shot at finding my sister. There's a story behind my skin. My only makeup? True match. Chase: Hey, man. Ciara: How's it going, Theo? Theo: I'm okay. I've been looking for you, Ciara. Ciara: Yeah? Why? Theo: I made something. All day. I made a mix of your music. Well, it's for you. Ciara: Aww, you made me a mix? Theo: Well, you've been sad. I saw you crying, so I made a mix for you and I put it on my cloud and I sent you a link. It's got all your favorite bands. Ciara: Oh, thank you so much. Look at this, chase. Chase: Great gift, Theo. Well, I got to go. Later. [Dramatic music] Malcolm: We had an agreement which you seem to be welching on, which I do not appreciate. Nor do I appreciate being hounded by the Podunk police department in this town. You listen to me. I earned that money. No. I spent a year of my life trying to get Bo Brady to talk about the secret serum that Victor Kiriakis was developing. I know I failed. He was an extraordinarily tough nut to crack. [Tense music] I'd be glad to try, but it's a little difficult with all the police breathing down my neck. Yes. I understand. Okay. I'll do it. Now I know where I stand. Roman: You know the drill. If you're suspended, I've got to take those. Page: Didn't I just offer them up? [Dramatic music] Roman: And the gun in your ankle holster. Lani: Obviously a one-woman business. Certified midwife. JJ: So Abigail must think that she was about to go into labor. That's too soon, though, because she said that the baby was due in mid-January. Lani: Right. And there's no mention of Ben in Wendy's appointment book. Or of Abigail. JJ: So if the baby's coming early--I mean, all the roads are cleared. Why a midwife? She should go to a hospital. Lani: Right, well Weston may not know how serious it is. JJ: So what now? Lani: We keep checking. There's more shops down the street. [Tense music] JJ: Yeah, so I guess we've seen everything there is to see in here. Lani: Right, let's check out those other shops. Maybe somebody knows something. Hold it right there! JJ: Where's my sister? [Grunting] Lani: Do not move! You hold it right there! Right there! If you cannot afford an attorney, the court will provide one for you. Do you understand these rights as I've explained them to you? I need an answer, Mr. Weston. JJ: What, you think this is some kind of game? Where the hell is my sister? She is having your baby, and you came here to steal all this stuff, remember? Now, let's have it. Where is Abigail? Lani: It'll go a lot easier if you cooperate, Ben. JJ: Where is she? You son of a bitch. You tell me right now or you're gonna-- Lani: Whoa! JJ: You're going to tell me where she is right now. Lani: Whoa! Hands off. I am bringing him back without a mark. Got that? JJ: We're talking about my sister here. Lani: I realize that, but he obviously isn't going to cooperate. And he is handcuffed, so giving him a big dose of pain-- it may make you feel better but it won't change anything. I'm getting him back to Salem. Ben: She's gone. JJ: What did you say? Who's gone? Abigail? Lani: Gone where? Ben: I didn't do anything wrong. JJ: You better not have. Where the hell is my sister? This guy's totally whacko. Lani: Yeah, something's definitely off. JJ: You're right. Take him back to Salem. I'm gonna stay here. Somebody's got to know where Chad and Abigail are. [Siren blares] JJ: What's with the sirens? Lani: I don't know, but they're not far away. Maybe you should check on them first. They could be related. You go ahead. I've got this guy. Get up. [Dramatic music] [Siren blares] Theo: What's wrong with chase? Ciara: He's having a hard time. His mom died when he was young. Even younger than you were when you lost your mom. So all he had was his dad for a long time. Theo: His dad wasn't right. What he did wasn't right. Ciara: Yeah, I know. So he's going through a really hard time. You need to be nice to him, okay? Theo: Okay. Chad: Listen, the main thing-- the main thing right now is to get your strength back and wait for help. Abby: No, no. We're not going to wait. We have to find-- Chad: We have to-- Abby: No, we have to-- start looking now. Chad: We have to wait for the cops. They're going to be here any minute. They have more resources. Abby: Ben could have taken him anywhere by now, Chad. He's too tiny. Chad: I know. It's going to be okay. Listen, listen. If there's one thing that we know-- Ben loves that baby. There is no way he's going to hurt your son. Abby: That's true. Oh, my God. Chad, I can't believe that you found us when you did. I can't believe anyone would find us. Chad: It's all right. I'll always find you. JJ: Abigail! Abby: JJ! Oh, my God. JJ! JJ: I followed the sirens. Hey, Chad. Are you guys... were you guys in that fire? Chad: Yeah, Ben tied us up and lit the place up. JJ: Oh my--seriously? Abby: Chad saved us. He got us out alive. JJ: Ben--if I'd have known that, I would have killed that son of a bitch the second I saw him. Chad: Wait, what? Abby: You saw him? You saw Ben? You saw him? JJ: I was with Lani when she arrested him at the midwife's office. Chad: You guys caught him? Abby: Did you see my son? Did you see my little boy? JJ: You... Abby: JJ, I delivered him. I delivered him too soon and he's premature and he needs to be in a hospital. Did you see him? You saw Ben. He must have been-- he probably-- did you look in his car? Maybe he was in Ben's car. JJ: No, no, no. Ben was alone, but he was stealing baby supplies when we caught him. Chad: See? The baby's still alive. Abby: Oh, no. We have to find him. We have to find him. Did Ben say where he was? Did you ask? Did he say where the baby was? JJ: No. No, but he was acting really weird. Chad: Well, he's insane. Abby: Okay, we have to find him right now. He must be close by. Chad: Abby, Abby, Abby. Abby: He'll be close. Chad: We're gonna do that. The police are pulling in right now. They're going to get right on it. Abby: Yes, but they might not know where to look for him. I should talk to Ben myself. I can talk to Ben and I can get him to tell-- where is he? Where is Ben right now? JJ: Lani took him back to Salem. Abby: Back to Salem? No. Chad: Abby, Abby, breathe. Abby, breathe. You need to calm down. Abby: No, no, no. No, no, no. No, I can't--no! My son is premature! He's premature and he's too vulnerable. He cannot be-- if he's left alone he will die! Chad: I'm going to tell the police to start a sweep of the area right now, okay? You stay here, promise? Abby: Yes. I have to talk to Ben. If I can talk to Ben then I can reach out to him and I can just talk to him. He loves his son. He loves his son. I know he does. I just have to talk to him. If I can just talk to him. [Dramatic music] Rafe: There he is, our person of interest. Roman: Officer price radioed in that you got caught breaking into an office up in mammoth falls. You want to explain that, Mr. Weston? Rafe: Better yet, where's Abigail Deveraux? Huh? Her family's worried sick. Ben. Roman: Did he say anything in the car? Lani: No, sir. I read him his rights, but... Roman: But what? Lani: I'm not exactly sure he's all there. Rafe: Excuse me? Ben: I'm sorry. I did bad. I'm gonna get whooped when daddy finds out. I need my mom. I did--I did bad. Rafe: Where exactly did you find him? Lani: At a midwife's office. He was trying to steal baby supplies. Roman: Well, Abigail's baby is due pretty soon. I thought she had a little more time. Lani: There was no sign of Chad or Abigail at the office, but JJ stayed behind to help with the search. Roman: Whoa. JJ was with you? Lani: Sir, I know JJ is still in training, but it was his sister and he was really, really set on going. You know what, commissioner, he did great. He was the one who figured out Ben was hiding in that closet. And he helped with the arrest, too. Roman: Well, then I guess it was a pretty good thing he went along. Although I'd probably leave that part out of your report. Lani: Yes, sir. Rafe: Chad, what's up? Chad: Is Ben there yet? Rafe: Yeah, he just got here. Chad: Okay, well here's the short version. He's definitely the necktie killer. Abby confirmed it. He was keeping her hostage. When I got there, he tied us both up, took the baby, set the place on fire, and left us both to burn alive. Rafe: What? Chad: It's okay. We're safe now. We both got out okay. Rafe: All right, Chad, listen. I'm going to put you on speaker phone. [Phone beeps] Rafe: Okay, I'm here with Commissioner Brady. So you're saying that Ben Weston is definitely the necktie killer? Chad: Yes, absolutely. He admitted everything to Abigail. Rafe: And Abigail had the baby? Chad: She did. Premature. A boy. Ben took him, though, and hid him someplace. The police are starting a sweep now. Rafe: Okay, listen. Is there anything we can do for you? You need any help? Chad: Yeah. Abby's going out of her mind, and this ridiculous mammoth falls police lieutenant insists that she stay here until he finishes his investigation; so she can give her statement. Rafe: Oh, for God sakes. Listen, just put him on the phone. I'll talk to him. Chad: Okay, hang on. [Tense music] Roman: Lani? Lani: Commissioner, I didn't know the baby had been born. I decided Ben needed to come back here so I can finish making my collar. God, I should have kept him there and made him tell me where the baby is. Roman: Well, I doubt he would have been much help. Rafe: Hey, lieutenant. This is detective Hernandez, Salem pd. Abby: My son is all alone. I can't just stand here. I have to find him. Chad: And we will, okay? Ben would have put him someplace safe. Abby: What? You don't know that. It's Ben. Chad: Okay, we are going to find a way for you to talk to him. You will connect with him and he will tell you where your son is. Abby: Maybe it's too late. I mean, really, Ben is insane. He has killed so many people. I mean, Chad, what if he thought he were better off dead and he killed him-- Chad: Abby, Abby, stop. Abby: No, listen to me, please. What if he just thought that he couldn't take care of him and he gave him to some crazy person on the street, like some stranger or something-- Chad: Abby-- Abby: And he just gave him to him. Chad: You need to calm down. Abby: I'm not going to calm down. I need to find my son! Chad: Stop, stop. Ms. Deveraux, the lieutenant says you can go. He'll get your statement another time. Abby: Thank you. JJ: Abbs, roman said you need to go back to Salem ASAP. He'll make sure that you get in to see Ben. Abby: Okay. Maybe I should stay here, right? Maybe I should stay here and look for him. Chad: No, Abby, Abby, Abby-- JJ: I will wait here, and I will call the second I hear anything. Chad: Abby, the police are going to start a sweep. The important thing is for you to get to Ben. Abby: Okay. I love you. Thank you. JJ: I love you, too. Abby: Tell mom I'm okay. JJ: Already did. Abby: Okay. JJ: Hurry. [Tense music] Theo: [Laughs] [Phone beeps] [Dramatic music] Malcolm: [Sighs] A nice cold beer. [Tense music] Rafe: Ben... Ben, I need you to help me out. I really need to know where you left that baby. Your son. Ben? Ben, where'd you leave the baby? [Baby crying] Ben: Hey. Hey, buddy. Hey. Shh. [Baby crying] Ben: Nice and safe. Nice and safe. Nice and safe. Okay. You're a good boy. Good boy. [Baby crying] Ben: Daddy's gonna find out I did something bad. He's gonna yell. "Ollie, you come over here!" He's gonna take off his belt. It's gonna burn. It's gonna hurt. It's never gonna stop. But mama's gonna come back soon. She's got to come back soon. Abby: Roman, where is he? Where's Ben? Roman: He's in the interrogation room with Rafe. Although I don't know how much good it's gonna do to talk to him. He's not making much sense. Chad: I don't trust him alone with you, all right? I should be in there with you. Abby: No. Are you kidding me? That's the only thing that'll set him off. Roman: All right. We'll be watching from the window. There's a guard in there. She'll be covered. Abby: It's the only way, Chad. I have to do it. Chad: All right, go. Roman: Lani? Rafe: Good luck. Here's a little healthy advice. [Dramatic music] Ciara: What's wrong? Theo: Nothing. Nothing's wrong. It's good, right? The music's good? Ciara: Yeah, it's awesome. Thank you so much. Rafe: Yeah, I don't think Ben's going to be much help. Roman: Neither do I. But we need to let Abigail try. Rafe: Right, right. Did you talk to hope? Roman: I did, I did. She tried to resign, but I wasn't going to let that happen. I did suspend her, temporarily, and made her turn in her badge and weapons. Rafe: Damn. All right, listen, I'll be back in time to deal with Ben. Roman: Okay. [Sighs] [Tense music] Hope: Don't move a muscle. Malcolm: Detective Brady, what are we doing today? You going to arrest me? Hmm? Hope: Not today. [Taser buzzes] Hope: No more rules, Doctor. Abby: Ben, don't do this. Please. Ben, what are you doing? Ben: Not mine. Abby: Ben, listen to me. You can't do this. Ben. Ben. Ben: Come, little Colin. Abby: Ben. Chad: Ben. Abby: Don't do this. Don't do this, please! Chad: Ben. Abby: Ben. Ben, please, don't do this! Ben: Bye, Mama. Chad: Ben. Ben: Bye. Chad: Ben! Ben! Abby: Don't take my baby! Ben: I knew it would happen. Ghost. God sent you back here to haunt me forever. Abby: Shh, Ben. Ben: You're the avenging angel. You came back to punish me. Abby: No, Ben. I'm not an angel. I'm not an angel, I'm not a ghost. Ben: You came back to punish me. Abby: No. You didn't kill me. I'm here. I'm here, Ben. And I really want to hold my son again. Ben, I know how much you love Colin. Ben, look at me. I know how much you love Colin. You need to tell me where he is. Where's my son? Ben, where's Colin? Tell me. [Baby fussing] [Tense music]
