Josh leaves and Beth watches him from her window.
Mick comes up behind her, touching her shoulder and scares her.
He tries to reassure her - there’s nothing to worry about - the tact squad has her covered (and I’m sure he’s figuring on sticking around too).
Beth apologizes about the blood sample (Mick is holding his shirt with Coraline’s blood on it). He tells her it’s okay, he may still have a chance. The most important thing is that Beth’s safe. Beth turns to look back out the window and Mick looks at her.
Josh waves up at her. A moment later Beth notices a guy jogging towards Josh. The guy has a gun.
Beth screams his name, trying to warn him. When Mick hears her he takes off out of the house. Beth is right behind him.
The jogger hits Josh over the head and ties him up. A car pulls up and Josh gets dumped into the trunk. A cop running out of the house to help gets shot.
The car with Josh takes off, Mick gives chase. Beth comes flying out too, Carl yelling at her to stay in the house. Beth gets into Josh’s car to follow them.
As Beth passes Mick she slows down and yells at him to get in, barely waiting for him to latch on before she takes off again. They give chase together.
Bustos turns the the other guy and says that what he did wasn’t according to plan. He says he had no choice. Bustos hands him a phone and tells him to call Tejada.
Beth does her best to stay behind the other car as the two weave in and out of traffic but she loses them. They had gotten ahead and veered off out of sight.
Mick tells Beth to pull over. Bustos could have gone in either of 3 directions. They can’t take a guess. Beth does’nt want to but finally does when Mick explains that, if Josh has his phone they may be able to pinpoint his location.
Beth tries Josh’s phone. It rings and doesn’t go directly to voice mail so at least it’s on. Mick gets on the phone to Logan, giving him Josh’s number and telling him to triangulate the location.
Meanwhile, in the trunk, Josh’s phone rings and he jostles, knocking it from his pocket. The bald guy up front thinks he hears something but the phone stops ringing.
Beth calls again. This time the guys up front hear the ringing. Josh manages to answer the call and Beth tells him they’re on their way while he yells ‘no’ at the phone.
Logan is able to trace the phone and tells them it’s in Griffith Park, by the observatory. Mick and Beth are back on the road, taking the same turnoff the thugs did. Beth tells Mick to call Carl and tell him where they’re going.
The car with Josh rolls to a stop and readies their gun, but they spot a Park Trooper and sit still, waiting to see what he does.
Meanwhile, Mick is giving Beth pointers on what to do when they spot the car. And then she is to get down and stay down. She agrees.
The Trooper leaves and the thugs get out and approach the trunk. Mick and Beth coming barrelling in behind them. Baldie shoots at their car, Beth stops and ducks. Bustos runs back into the car.
Mick is out, jumping over the rear of the car, takes a shots and beats up the thug, throwing him into the passenger side of the car. He then leaps over and smashes his hand through the window, hitting Bustos. Mick pulls him out and throws him into some trees.
Beth gets out and the two meet at the trunk. Mick opens the trunk and they find Josh at last. Beth pulls the tape off his mouth. Beth tells him it’s okay and he’s all right (I think trying to soothe them both).
But Baldie isn’t finished. He gets a gun from the glove compartment and fires through the back seat into the trunk. He fires, hitting Josh numerous times. Beth stunned, cries out.
It’s not okay. And he’s not all right.
