[s1e5] The Place I Lie -

Jimmy finds himself trapped with Larry after a prison guard cuts off his ability to contact his handlers.

Taron Egerton’s performance is particularly noted in this episode, especially during the final scenes where he stifles his sobs alone in his cell, mere meters away from the monster he has befriended.

While Jimmy struggles internally, Miller and McCauley make a breakthrough by tracking down the mountain bike Larry gifted to another young girl. However, the discovery is bittersweet; without a clear chain of custody, the bike isn't strong enough evidence on its own. Their investigation underscores the tragic reality that justice often hinges on finding the final "place" where the victims lie—locations that may now be buried under miles of concrete.
