Marc wakes up past midnight at New York Presbyterian, where he had worked during his medical residency. He has minor injuries from falling off Pavel’s car. The child in the car was a toddler male, not Tara. Marc summons Lenny and tells him about the second ransom attempt, including the GPS trackers with the ransom money. Lenny seems wounded Marc hadn’t told him. Lenny suggests that Edgar betrayed Marc, which Marc rejects. Rachel’s whereabouts are unknown.
Tickner and Regan enter Marc’s room. They know about the second ransom attempt, Marc and Rachel’s visit to MVD, and that Rachel is still in town. After learning that Marc left behind the ransom money at the kidnapper’s instructions, Tickner asks for Rachel’s location. Marc does not know, but he admits to misleading Regan earlier while Rachel hid in Marc’s garage. Marc explains that Rachel is an old friend with FBI expertise, and her assistance avoids losing Tara through official police involvement again.
After learning that Pavel’s car was found abandoned with no additional clues, Marc tells Tickner and Regan about the second ransom demand, including Rachel tracking the money. Tickner accusingly questions how Marc knew Rachel was a former agent despite no contact, but Lenny interjects that Cheryl has remained their mutual friend.
