To the reviewer who commented about seeing She Loves Me- I ENVY YOU! I love Laura Benanti and wish I had gotten to see it when I was in New York for a school trip- we saw American in Paris, not bad, but not Benanti!
This spiked my heart rate tbh.
"My husband has always had a grudge against the NYPD. They fired him without a second thought and Frank Reagan never even looked at him. He always made remarks about how all of the Reagan children got exactly what they wanted from their life because he thought that it was because they were the Commissioner's children. I never thought that that was true, I saw the way Danny Reagan worked his way up to the top, he wasn't given any special treatment."
"Then why did you crash a car into me?" Lizzie spit.
"My husband.. had a cruel way of doing things. We were married in the spring of 2000, he got let off from the NYPD in 2001. After that, he told me I needed to work for the FBI. I told him it was crazy, I had no credentials to get me up there. I have spent every moment since then doing everything he asked. I had no choice."
"Seems like you had a choice to me. You could have walked out that door any moment."
"Not when he tracked your every move and killed every person that disobeyed him."
"So then why are you agreeing to help me now?"
"Because this is the end of the line for me. I'm going to rot in prison for helping a man I stopped loving a long time ago. I wanted kids- I'm never going to get them. I wanted to grow old with someone, I'm never going to get that either. You deserve your mother. You deserve your mother and sister. I had none of those."
"Were you a-" Lizzie stopped to take a deep breath, "foster kid?"
Anderson let out a breath. "Yeah. And when David found me on the street, I was so desperate for love... I didn't see him for the monster he was."
"Wait, your husband... what is his name?"
"David Marks. I think I know where he is, too."
"So how are we going to get out of here? What is your genius plan?"
"Well, how would they react if I told them you were dead?"
"Probably bad. You did say I was their 'prized possesion'." Erin made a disgusted face, scrunching her nose. "I just don't understand how I got here. I always felt so safe, my brothers and dad and grandpa always protected me, now I'm here, a ragdoll."
"I am going to get you out of here. I'm going to get you out of here even if it involves me dying!"
He started towards the door and began screaming. "Come here! Come here!"
"You are not dying for me! Get away from that door!"
"Lizzie! We're back! We brought dinner!" Jackie tossed the keys onto the counter and slammed the door behind her, almost hitting Joe, but he of course laughed,
"I brought you your favorite! I made Jackie get you the cheese fries just like you like them! Well, you liked them when you were three anyways..."
"Don't listen to him Lizzie! I would do anything for you!" She screamed loudly, the happiness in her voice evident. Baker had told them to take a two hour break while she called the PC, and they were a little too happy about it.
"Two whole hours! I can watch Lion King!" Joe mused.
"We are not watching Lion King! That movie makes me cry!" Jackie pouted, glaring at him. He glanced down at the tv remote before looking back up at her.
That's how they ended up on the couch wrestling for the remote. Jackie went around the couch and attacked him from behind for it.
Somehow, they ended up looking at each other, smiling. Ten seconds later had Jackie kissing Joe Reagan.
Jackie pulled away, the blush in her cheeks evident. "Lizzie is awfully quiet..." the two of them paced into the office, to find it completely ransacked.
Joe fumbled, seeing his bugs sprawled on the ground among other things. He flicked the mouse on the computer and his eyes widened.
"She went after them."
Lizzie walked towards the entrance of the abandoned warehouse, her heart pounding in her chest.
She could, and probably would die.
And yet she continued walking.
She stood in the front, trying to look busy, when two of the men noticed her and decided to open the door ten minutes later.
"Yes, we got her!" One said.
"Boss will be so pleased!" Went the other, reaching towards her. Lizzie froze and let them lead her in, not even putting up a fight. She felt herself begin to shake, the panic going through her veins and making her numb, no going back now.
"Should we put her with the girl or guy?"
"Girl. That is what she is, isn't she?"
The men tried to find weapons on Lizzie, but didn't notice the mike placed in her ear that allowed everyone else to hear everything... or the gun in her ankle for that matter.
"Lizzie?" Danny let out when they walked into the room where he was with her hands behind her back.
"Uncle Danny! You're okay!" Lizzie squealed. She knew that they had told her to be quiet and not say anything, but she had an idea.
"Shut up! Stupid bitch!" One of the guys walking her through said.
"Uncle Danny I love you!" She yelled, and one of the guys hit her across the face. She sobbed, holding her hand where he hit her, like it had really affected her or something.
Once they had reached the door to the room Erin was in, they stopped.
"Should we tie her down?"
"Nah. She's too stupid to do anything."
They pushed her in and let the door slam behind her. Walking past the man sprawled out on the ground, probably dead, made her feel a little sick. When she saw her mother tied to the bed, completely knocked out, she felt herself vomiting.
"Mom...?" She asked. Her mother looked so pale, she looked like she was on the verge of death. She wanted to give her mother a hug, but didn't know how to. Her stomach had turned a shade of yellow, the gashes streaks of dry flood.
Her mother, quite frankly, looked like she was going to die.
Lizzie lacked to notice that the boss man had his own door into the room and had been standing there for a while. He crept up behind Lizzie, and jumped around ready to shoot him, but he was too quick and pushed her down before she could. She fell to the ground. He took the bug out of her ear and shoved it into a pillow to muffle it out.
"We have to go now, before they find us."
He motioned to the two other men, telling them to be quiet. The both of them began untying Erin and picked her up. The boss man himself picked up Lizzie, and exited through the other door.
"Shit! Everything got quiet. We gotta intervene!" Jackie squealed, the two of them sitting a car outside of the warehouse. Being hooked up to the bug had helped them know what was going on, at least a little bit. It broke her heart that Lizzie had gone off and done this without telling them, but she also knew that the two of them would have never allowed it. Jackie had argued that they should call the CPD, or at least Baker, but Joe had insisted there was no time, hence the two of them were sitting in anxiety.
"No! He might kill them!" Joe argued.
Jackie ran out of the van and started running towards the building with her gun at the ready. She kicked open the door to see Danny, still sitting there all tied up. The other men were nowhere to be found. The silence that surrounded them was unnerving.
"Jackie?"
"Danny! Are you-"
"They left! And I am pretty sure they took Lizzie and Erin with them!" Jackie nodded and untied him before continuing to wander through the place. She kicked down the only other door in the place to find an empty room. She noticed the bed and felt her stomach drop. Erin...
"Should we see if we can get any DNA from this?" She noticed the bug shoved into the pillow and pulled it out with a sigh. They never expected him to run with them. How could they have been so stupid?
"Who the hell are you?" Jackie heard Danny scream in the other room.
Jackie walked over to see Danny in an intense stare-off with Joe, who broke it off to look at Jackie.
"Did you find anything?"
"No..."
"Hey, good to see you awake." The boss man greeted Erin once she was awake. She winced, realizing she wasn't completely uncovered and was handcuffed.
"We had a little bit of a problem where we were. It's all good though. We are going somewhere new."
Erin's eyebrows dropped when she noticed her daughter, her dead daughter, laid across the back seat asleep. Her hands were handcuffed as well, her hair was now blonde and short...
...She was that lawyer...
"Aren't you so happy I found her? It's sad we missed eighteen years of her life."
Erin tilted her head. She must have heard him wrong. He said we.
One of the men opened the latch and door. "We are here."
"Sir, we found where your daughter and son were." Baker reported to Frank, after getting the call from Jackie Curatola. Now she was standing in the lot of an abandoned warehouse with a group of Chicago cops who were scrounging the lot even though they had no idea what they were looking for.
"Good to see you, detective." She greeted Danny, who had Jackie wrap bandages around his center, as well as other places where bruises had begun to form.
"Likewise. Good to know I didn't die in the gray warehouse hell. Problem is, these bastards still have my niece and sister. They already broke my sister, and I will be damned if I let them break my niece as well."
"Let me talk to him," Frank dictated, a little desperate to hear his son's voice. It had been a week since he had seen him last. He had to watch Linda lie to her children every night and tell them their Daddy was going to be home soon, and Nicky was a completely different story.
She knew her mother was gone. They had tried to lie to her, for a while, but she didn't believe them. She wore the same heartbroken face Linda did.
Jamie was not sure what to do with himself. He wanted to believe his siblings were not dead, but he was having a hell of a hard time with it. There had been four of them to start with, and as far as he knew, the youngest one was the only one left standing.
"Dad..." Danny started, his father's presence on the other side of the phone making him tear up. He was so afraid that he would never see Linda or Jack or Sean again... his brother, his sister... his father...
"Danny, are you alright?"
"Dad... I love you..." he faltered, the tears falling down his face. "Tell Linda I love her. I'm going to be home soon..."
"Danny, if you're thinking about joining the case..."
"Dad, please don't try to stop me. They have Erin and they have Lizzie."
"Lizzie...?" His father questioned.
"She's alive, Dad."
Lizzie woke up to being handcuffed to a wall.
Well, there had been worse things, right?
"Hey there, my daughter..." greeted "David".
Now things were just getting plain weird. "My father is dead. Your wife shot him." Lizzie bit.
"That man was not your father." Lizzie just stared back at him.
"You see, your mother always thought someone else was your father. She thought the man who had trapped her in the bathroom and knocked her unconscious was the one who raped her. But she was wrong. I am your father Lizzie."
Lizzie just sat there.
"You see, your uncle always thought that the Templar would take a bunch of Reagans hostage to get leverage over the Commissioner. And that would make a whole lot of sense. But, I always had a better idea in mind."
"Raping them?"
"No. Everyone knows Frank Reagan's softest spot is for his daughter. And making her vulnerable, giving her unbearable pain, watching her suffer... that is what would bring Frank Reagan to the table."
"I was a mistake..." Lizzie mumbled.
"Yes. You were just a flaw in the plan. Taking you would have secured Frank's agreement."
"And what would you have done if I wasn't born?" Why was she suddenly upset? She could feel the tears forming in her eyes. Her biological father just completely rejected her. And told her she was a mistake.
"Kidnapped Erin, made her mine. Danny was just the lure. We didn't need him."
"But my uncle is the best detective in New York City. He tracks down people like you for a living. And he does a hell of a good job of it."
"People like me? You make it sound like I did something wrong. You see, there is a specific way of having sex. There are certain things you have to do." He walked over to Erin, who was laying down, handcuffed to the wall of the empty room. She seemed conscious, but she also seemed frozen.
"Please don't." Lizzie begged. "Please don't do it to her again, she has suffered enough."
"Honey, it is a life skill..." He said, already in the process of ripping the robe she had off, then he began on her underwear. Lizzie saw the desperation and weakness in her mother's eyes. She was trying so hard to fight him, she did not want her daughter seeing this. The duct tape thrown across her lips made it impossible for her to converse. Lizzie knew she was on the verge of death.
"Rape me instead."
"It's not rape if you consent to it."
"Well I consent to it." Lizzie mumbled. She stood up, ripped her shirt off and unzipped her pants, letting them fall to the ground. She stepped out of them, standing in only her undergarments.
"You're brave, I'll give you that, but what does this prove?"
"It proves how stupid of an idiot you are." Lizzie grabbed the gun that blended in oh-so-well with her black bra and shot the guy in the abdomen, just like that. The men behind her just froze, not really sure what to do in that moment.
"Get back! Get back or I will shoot you all!" None of them moved. "Up against that wall, right now." The men slowly started moving back, mesmerized. When Lizzie turned around to see what they were looking at, she realized what the big deal was.
The leader of the Blue Templar was standing right in front of them.
