Sully, Ty, Swersky and along with several others cops examine the street Ronnie has brought them to.
Capitan: Are you sure it was here?
Ronnie: Yes, it was on this street.
Swersky: HERE!
The officers approach, Faith fears the worst, Doc and Carlos are unable to look.
Ty: Blood?
Sully: He's not here.
Faith: Excuse me?
Sully: He's not here.
Ronnie: Impossible. This is where I left him.
Faith (very irritated, gripping Ronnie by his collar): Then where is he, huh? Where?
Sully tries to calm down Faith.
Sully: Calm down, slowly.
Faith: Where is he????
Swersky: Was he capable of moving on his own, Officer Marlowe?
Ronnie: Uh…
Swersky: Well?
Ronnie: No… he … it's not possible.
Ty: Maybe someone else moved him!
Faith: SOMEONE? Davis, there is 8.5 million people in this fucking city!
Faith leaves, Sully follows her. He steps in front of her and sees that she is crying.
Faith: I told him that women would get him in trouble. Jesus, Sully, where is he?
Sully (pulls her closer to him): Shh, it's okay, calm down. We'll find him.
Faith: Yes we will find him, but in what condition?
Sully (looks at her): Don't do this. I know that Bosco wouldn't want to see you like this. Not now. If it was you…
Faith (smiling softly): If it were me, Bosco would be beating up everyone in this city. But I'm not like him; I don't have his character.
Sully: But you're strong, more then most of us. Listen, you have to hold on, for him.
Faith: Yeah.

Bosco is lying on a bed, unconscious. His shirt has been removed, and his wound is covered with a green concoction. Next to the bed sits the man who brought Bosco to this place. He is Chinese, short, about 5'2", with gray hair pulled tight at the back of his neck and a short beard. He burns incense throughout the room, and then he kneels and starts to speak in Chinese.
Bosco finds himself in a strange place; he turns over in an effort to figure out where he is. Everything is white; he can't distinguish between anything. He feels nothing, no pain. He looks at his shirt and sees no trace of blood. He hears voices from the other room. He gets up and moves towards the voices, which are becoming more and more violent. He recognizes the space around him. He is in the home he grew up in. Everything is the same; nothing has changed. He hears his mother; he recognizes her screams, mixed with his fathers. He runs towards the kitchen, he remembers this day. The day he decided to become a cop.
***
Ty: Are you sure?
Chinese woman (in a thick accent): No. Me… I don't know…
Ty: Thank you.
Ty leaves the grocery store and places Bosco's picture in his pocket.
Carlos: So?
Ty: Again nothing.
Sully (arriving): Unbelievable, a cop is missing and nobody has seen anything.
Swersky: We've called all the area hospitals, but nothing.
Capitan: I've instructed Johnson and Faraday to search all the hospitals within a 30-mile radius. Two other officers will search veterinarians, dentists and all other doctors.
Doc walks towards Faith, who is sitting beside a patrol car.
Doc: Hey.
Faith: He's probably somewhere nearby.
Doc sits next to her
Doc: They will find him
Faith: Several times he told me if I needed anything, he would be there; if I needed help he will be always be there for me. That he would protect me. When we entering the police academy, and then when we began working as partners, we swore to protect one another, to take care of each other. Bosco has always been there for me; he always kept his promise. Today, I broke it.
Doc: Faith; it's not your fault, you couldn't have known. His was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Faith: After having seen Cruz, he asked Lieu for an hour off. I should've known that something was wrong.
Doc: Believe me, it's not your fault.
Faith: And if he's dead, Doc? If he's dead?
She starts crying again. Doc approaches Faith and embraces her. The truth is that he doesn't want to think that Bosco might be dead, it wouldn't be right. Doc feels his throat constrict again. Bosco is alive; he has to be!
Carlos watches everyone working. He can't do anything to help them, just wait. Waiting until someone tells him that they have found his friend; waiting until someone tells him that he is… dead?
It's unjust, and frustrating. For as long as he has worked at the 55th, Carlos never imagined such a situation, especially with Bosco in the middle. Bosco is like superman, Carlos never imagined that Bosco would be shot or killed in the line of duty. When he saw Bosco the second time, his face contorted with confusion, he hadn't realized how dangerous it was; that Bosco might die. Now he realizes that nobody is invincible.
***
Bosco: Mom?
He runs through the halls, the rooms, but the house has no end. He hears his mom's cries getting closer and closer, and hears the sound of his father's fist hitting his mothers face.
Bosco: Mom, mommy, where are you?
He gets the impression he is going in circles; that this will never end. He arrives in the kitchen, and sees his father, bottle in his hand like always, staggering towards Angela. He remembers this day, when he came home from school, he had opened the door and had seen his father go out the back door, laughing. He had discovered his mother lying on the floor, unconscious; blood all over her face.
Bosco: Mom? Get out off here!
He tries to move but it is as if his legs are immobilized; he can't move; he's paralyzed. He sees his father hit his mother once, causing her to fall to the ground. Her cheek turns red.
Bosco (pleading): Mom!!!
Man: It's hard to see, huh?
Bosco looks next to him and is surprised to discover a short Chinese man.
Man: My father beat my mother too.
Bosco looks at him with astonishment.
Man: My name's Hyu.
Bosco turns his gaze to his parents.
Bosco: He's beating her; I have to help her, but I can't.
Hyu: You can't do anything.
Bosco: She'll end up in the hospital, because of that dick!
Hyu: You can't do anything boy, just watch.
Bosco: It's torture!
Hyu: Your subconscious has decided to relive this moment.
Bosco: Why?
Hyu: Maybe to help you choose.
Bosco: Choose? Choose what?
Hyu: Your future.

Ty (triumphantly): YES!
Sully: What?
Doc and Faith are talking when Carlos arrives, winded.
Carlos: They found him!
***
Cruz is thrown in jail, tears stream down her face. She didn't want this to happen.
The patrol cars stop on a dark street, in front of a grilled door. Two cops break down the door; everyone enters, gun in hand.
Cruz is being interrogated.
The police look everywhere within the house when Sully points out a door going to the basement. They climb down the stairs.
Carlos and Doc wait for the signal to enter. They are anxious.
Cops break down the last basement door and end up in a well-decorated bedroom. They search everywhere before finding Bosco, and a man at his side. Faith holds back a scream. Doc and Carlos enter quickly.
