A call came in, and Kellett indicated that Liam Walsh was her confidential source and that they should take the case. Chief Burke, the city’s police chief, welcomed them to Belfast and introduced them to Inspector Sean Henry, the deceased cop’s partner, who was furious that they were trying to shield a cop killer from justice.

Meanwhile, Kellett was preoccupied with personal matters that kept her from concentrating on her work. Later, a guy (played by James Payton) with a camera ordered a young woman to take her clothes off in a room that resembled a bedroom. Another woman (played by Whoopie Van Raam) threatened her with punishment if she didn’t comply with her order to strip.
Guns Blazing!
When the man answered the door and heard the sound of gunfire, the buzzer went off. Before fleeing, the women noticed that the man was bleeding from a painful spot. On the phone in Budapest, Julianne (Christina Rouner) begged Kellett to come home. Kellett revealed to her mother that she was seeing a coworker and her mother’s response was, “again?” Then something happened in her past. She said Kellett was on the run. “Maybe I was sprinting toward something,” Kellett said.
After joking with Vo about the coffee shop worker being interested in her, Raines discovered that they had been on two different dates. On the FBI’s Most Wanted list were Lloyd Eckersley and his partner, Fred Dobbins (played by Nick Basta). During a live video chat, Jess LaCroix (Julian McMahon) explained how Eckersley and Dobbins deceived a hundred women in Florida into partaking in pornographic recordings.
