Sophie and Jacob are in their kitchen. Sophie is getting ready to go to work.
Jacob: Have a great day.
Sophie: I'll try, can't wait to get home so we can go on vacation!
Jacob: The girls and I should be ready by the time you get home.
Lily and Jessica come into the kitchen and say goodbye to their mother.
Sophie: Be good for dad.
Lily & Jessica: We will!
Sophie: Well, I've gotta go now.
Sophie gives Jacob a kiss before exiting the house. Jacob watches her as she gets into her car. She starts the engine and the car goes up in a ball of flames and flips over. Jessica and Lily scream as Jacob calls the police.Current day:
Jacob sits at his kitchen table. He is scowering through news reports related to the car bomb that day.
Jacob: Why the hell can't I find anything.
There is a knock at the door and Jacob opens it to see police officer Marcus Fraser.
Jacob: Hi Marcus, good to see you.
Marcus: So I think we made a breakthrough in the case.
Jacob: No way.
Marcus: Yes way. We have it on good authority that your wife was operating as a secret agent and her cover was blown.
Jacob: IMPOSSIBLE! THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!
Marcus: We'll show you the info we've collected if you'd like.
Jacob: Yes. I want to see all of it.

Meanwhile, Arthur sits in a dark office. Up on his computer screen is a photograph of Sophie with a red X and "Deceased" under the picture.
Arthur: It's been 5 years.
Sanjay (off screen): Yes, but they've been working on the case for 5 years.
Sanjay enters the shot and sits down on the edge of Arthur's desk.
Arthur: I want you to throw them off the case.
Sanjay: How?
Arthur: By any means necessary.
Sanjay: Even...killing someone?
Arthur: Whatever it takes. We can't risk them finding out about us.
Sanjay nods and goes to exit the office.
Arthur: One last thing.
Sanjay turns around.
Sanjay: What?
Arthur pulls a gun out of his desk drawer and hands it to Sanjay.
Arthur: Just in case.

Heather finishes setting the table of her home.
Heather: Dinner's ready!
Larry, Lily and Jessica come into the kitchen and sit at the table.
Jessica: When are we gonna get to see dad?
Larry: Soon. He's just dealing with a lot of stuff right now.
Heather: Everything is going to be okay though girls.
Lily's cellphone starts ringing and she answers it.
Lily: Hello?
She waits for a few seconds, presumably listening to what is being said.
Lily: Who the hell is this?
She waits before hanging up the phone.
Lily: Must have been a wrong number.
Larry and Heather look concerned.
Larry: Did they say who they were?
Lily: No.

Jacob and Marcus arrive at the police station where they enter an office. Otis is sitting in the chair looking at a computer screen.
Jacob: Otis, long time no see. I hear you've made a breakthrough.
Otis: Yes, I have. I presume Marcus already told you.
Jacob: Yes, he did. So you're saying my wife was working as a secret agent? Right under my nose?
Otis: Yes. She was working under an alias.
Jacob walks over and looks at the computer screen where there's photos of Sophie meeting with various people. There's also a photo of a passport with the name "Tina Alamain" on it.
Jacob: What the hell...That's gotta be fake.
Otis: Well yes it is a fake passport but it was real.
Jacob: Where'd it go?
Otis: I don't know. It was never recovered.
Marcus: Do you think it could have been in the car?
Otis: Well the car was insinerated so it is very plausible.
Jacob: Do you think we'll ever find any of this stuff?
Otis: It's possible. We're doing all the work we can.
Jacob: I want to help.
Marcus: I can't give you the authority to do that Jacob.
Jacob: I don't need your permission! My wife exploded in a fucking car bomb five years ago and you people are just finding this shit now!? Do you realize what I've had to go through for the past five years? The pain, the suffering. ALL OF IT. Do you realize what this has put my daughters through? They have to live at my parents' house! I am
of you guys taking your sweet old time to find out what really happened to Sophie.
Marcus: We're trying our best.
Jacob: Well you know Marcus, sometimes your best just isn't good enough! I want results...and I want them now!
Marcus: We're trying Jacob. That's all we can do right now.
Jacob sighs.
Marcus: Well I've got to go. You guys can go over this new information if you'd like.
Marcus leaves the room and shuts the door behind him. Otis turns to Jacob.
Otis: I'll help you.
Jacob is shocked at what he has just heard.
Jacob: What?
Otis: You heard me. I'll help you. I want to take down these sons of bitches just as much as you do.
Jacob: But...but...why?
Otis: They killed my wife too...
Jacob gasps.

Lily: Grandma! My friends are here.
Heather enters the sunroom where Lily is getting her jacket on.
Heather: Have fun dear. Be careful.
Lily: Don't worry. I will.
Lily exits the house and gets in the car with her friends.
Lily: Hey g-
Lily realizes that it isn't her friends, but rather James...the man that called her. The car begins driving.
Lily: What the hell do you want?
James: I want your father...And I want him dead.
Lily looks really worried as the episode fades out.
