Ep 15. Lie to Me

Detective Matt Bailey is a veteran detective with the LAPD and has been working a case involving a missing person for the past several months. All leads have gone cold and he is running out of options. He turns to the FBI's Crisis Negotiation Unit (CNU) for assistance, specifically to Agent Matt Flannery and his partner Emily Lehman, who have expertise in dealing with difficult subjects and hostage negotiations.

The missing person is the daughter of a prominent businessman who has been keeping secrets from his family. He has been lying to them about his work and personal life, and when his daughter found out, she disappeared. The businessman is convinced that his daughter has run away and will come back on her own, but Detective Bailey is worried that she may have been abducted or worse.

As the CNU begins to investigate, they find out that the businessman's lies are more complicated than they originally thought. He has been involved in illegal activities and his daughter may have been caught up in it. Meanwhile, the team must navigate the delicate balance of dealing with the father's emotions while trying to get to the truth.

Agent Flannery, in particular, has a personal connection to the case as he lost his own daughter to a violent crime several years prior. He is determined to find the missing girl and bring her home safely, but his emotions and personal history may cloud his judgement.

As the investigation progresses, the team must use all their negotiation skills to unravel the web of lies and find the missing girl before it's too late. They are also forced to confront their own personal demons and how it affects their work as negotiators.

In the end, the episode delivers a tense and emotional resolution as the team works their way through the complex case, confronting the lies and secrets that were the cause of the situation.
