At Owens House

Maura: Let's get this bastard.

They go in and see nothing. They go upstairs and look in a room.

Maura: Clear.

Owen comes out of another room with an ax. They shoot him dead. They open the door to the room next to the one he came out of. They go in and see a locked closet. Maura opens it and there is Mandy on the floor tied up.

Maura: Mandy. Oh, honey. Mandy. Oh, sweetie. You okay? It's all right. There.
There we go. It's okay, honey. We'll get you out of here, all right? Oh, your mommy and daddy are gonna be so happy to see you, okay? All right? There. There, baby. It's okay. We're gonna get you home, all right? We're gonna get you out of here. We're gonna get you home. Oh, honey, it's over.

She gets her untied and they go back to BPD.

At BPD

They get there and everyone walks outside.

Maura: Who's that?

Mandy: Mom.

Mom: Mandy. Oh, my sweet baby girl.

Dan: Baby. Are you okay? Let me see you.

Mandy: Daddy.

Maura walks up to Jane. Dan walks over and hugs Maura.

Nicole: You're okay.

Dan: You brought her back to me. Back to us.

Maura: We all did.

Dan: I'm never gonna be able to thank you.

Maura: Yes, you can. Go back to your family.

Dan: Thanks, partner.

Jane: Maybe they'll get back together.

Maura: Oh, God, I hope so.

Mandy: Bye.

Maura: Bye, Mandy. Go home, baby.

They leave. Maura turns to everyone.

Maura: Well, that was a long day.

Jane: I guess 'cause it started yesterday.

Maura: Now can we get a beer?

Jane: Really?

Maura: You hear "beer," and your ears perk up?

They go to the Dirty Robber and drink for a little while. Afterwards, they all go home.
