WOMAN:
I think you're supposed
to say, "Action."

She knows
what I mean.

Ella, come down
the stairs.

WOMAN:
Go slowly.
Hold the banister.

You don't want
to fall on prom night.

You realize I'm
recording sound,
too, right?

Dad, please turn that thing off.

I just want to get you
and your mom.

Oh, look at you.

I remember when
you stood here

in your first
little Easter dress.

Mom... stop, please.

I'm just...

Yeah, I know.

That's pretty. Thank you.

Just because
you don't have a prom date

doesn't mean you don't deserve
a nice corsage.

Looks like this thing is
starting to lose juice.

Dad, please, turn it off.

Okay, okay.

I got to go.

You look beautiful.

MAN:
You look perfect.

And I got it all on tape.

Oh, my God, look at you!

Come on, hon.

Smile.

Let's see.

Hi.

Can you take one of me
and my parents?

Yeah, yeah.

Uh, get a little
closer, guys.

Mr. Neese, can you lean in
a little?

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Good, smile.

Oh, it's cute.

I'll e-mail it to you
when I get home.

Okay, now let's go over it
one more time.

Um, straight to
the Thompsons
after the prom.

No detours or stops, okay?

And I want to see
that limo back here
by 3:00 a.m., no later.

Got it?

For the thousandth time.

All right, and if you weren't
already late,

you'd hear it again.
Go have a great time.

Love you.

Love you, too.

Bye, Dad.

Have fun.

But not too much.

Retirement suits you well, Pete.

Yeah, 30 years
in the Bureau.

I've got my full pension
and this security gig.

Name's Ella
Neese, 18.

Lives in
Little Neck.

Principal says her
disciplinary record is clean.

What about her prom date?

Didn't have one.

All we know is
she borrowed a key

from her friends,
who came up here around 11:00.

When she didn't
make it home,

the mom calls the
principal, who calls me.

I track her down to
this room and find this.

Did you guys

bag the sheets
and the bedspread?

No, they were gone
when we got here.

Was there any reports
of a disturbance or violence?

No. We're holding all the kids
who spent the night in the hall,

and I got a call in
to the chaperones.

Hmm.
Hey.

Oh, Pete,
this is Agent Spade.

Pete's the director
of security of the hotel.

Oh, well, then you'll
find this interesting, too.

We found this in a Dumpster
out by the parking lot.

PETE:
I told the guys

at corporate to put the kibosh
on these prom deals,

but they keep saying it gets
them a lot of repeat business.

Yeah, not to mention
the publicity.

I've known Ella since,
like, the third grade.

I was an Indian brave,

and she was Pocahon...
Tyler.

Yeah?

How much did you have
to drink last night?

I'm not really too sure.

Probably too much.
It smells like it.

You know what we're gonna do?

I'm gonna ask you questions,
you're gonna answer them,

but you're gonna face that way.

This way?

Yeah, that way.
That's good.

Okay.

All right, when did
you last see Ella?

I don't know
what time it was exactly.

Uh, I remember
we were at the bar.

Whoa, the Elster!

You're looking fi-ine
like peach wi-ine.

You really shouldn't talk
like that.

Yeah, I know.

I'm stupid.

Glass of punch?

Not really.

With punch additive?

Definitely.

Here, hold this.

I saw Ms. Buselback
going to the ladies' room,

so we are a-okay,
good to go.

More.

That's what I'm talking about.

Whoa.

The Navy called; they said
they want their sailor back.

What's the deal?

Liquid courage.

I'm gonna get another one
of those for us,

and we'll talk
more about this.

I thought it was my big chance,

but she was like a ghost.

Okay, Tyler.

Sorry.

It's fine.

Now, are you sure

you didn't try to
pursue her later?

I wish.

I kind of just passed out.

Do you know if she
was seeing anybody?

No. She was still
way hung up on Alex.

Who's Alex?

Her boyfriend.

Her ex-boyfriend.

They started dating in,
like, the eighth grade,

and she was totally
in love with him.

Well, do you know
where he is now?

Some cemetery, I guess.

GIRL:
He died like a month ago.

Or that's when
they found his body.

And where
was he found?

Um, somewhere
in North Carolina.

He disappeared
right after Christmas.

He had some kind of
drug problem.

And they found him
with a bullet in his head

a few months later.

Does Ella use drugs?

Ella?

No.

I don't think
I've even seen her drink.

So how close was she
to this Alex?

Mega close.

He went to rehab last year,

and she sent him care packages
every single day.

Everyone thought they were
gonna get married.

So she must have been
pretty cut up about his death.

Everybody was.

That's why she went
with us to the prom.

She wasn't ready
to see anybody else.

And I don't think it was
just because Alex died.

Hey, can I talk to you?

What's up?

Where's your room key?

In my purse.
I need it.

What's wrong

Yeah, I'm-I'm sick.

I just need to lay down.

You want me
to come with you?
No!

I'll be fine.
You sure?

I just need your key, okay?

In my purse on the table.

Thanks.

Sounds like
you didn't believe her.

It's her business.

What is?

Hilary,

your friend is missing,
and there's blood in her room.

If you know anything,
you need to tell me.

Ella missed her period
four months ago,

right after
Alex disappeared.

She was scared she was pregnant
with his baby.

I asked her about it
a couple weeks later,

and she didn't want
to talk about it.

Did she look pregnant
at the prom?

No.

But a girl at my cousin's school
miscarried in the locker room,

and nobody knew
she was pregnant either.

My daughter is
not pregnant.

Do you know if she was
sleeping with Alex Ward,

or anybody else for that matter?

Anybody else? No.

I didn't like
her boyfriend,

but I assumed she was
sleeping with him.

I took her to Planned Parenthood
and got her a prescription.

Why, why does this matter?

Well, we found traces of blood
in the hotel room that she used,

and we're trying to determine
if it was a miscarriage.

It wasn't.

We're checking all
the local hospitals

in the area, and hopefully,

she will turn up
in some ER.

So miscarriage is
the best case scenario?

Oh, I should have never
let her go to the prom.

She didn't
even want to.

What are you
talking about?

She was so excited to go

to the prom.
Will you just
hear me out first?

She was having
nightmares.

She didn't want
you to know.

No! No!

It's okay.
It's okay.

I figured she was just
feeling guilty, you know.

She was supposed to go
to the prom with Alex.

She never had someone
so close to her die.

I told her she didn't
have to go.

But a few days later,
she said she would go.

And why do you think
she had a change of heart?

I don't know.

She was always
so open with us.

But then recently,
it's like pulling teeth

getting her to talk.

Or so I thought.

JACK:
Look, it doesn't
really matter

who she was confiding in
at this point.

What's important is that we have
full access to every aspect

of your
daughter's life.

Of course.
Yes.

Okay.

All right,
Little Neck PD confirms

that Alex Ward
went missing January 14.

Okay, that's almost
four months ago,

which would
put her at a...

second trimester
miscarriage.

Yeah. Could be
a botched abortion.

At a prom?

She couldn't do it at home.

Taylor.

Yeah.

Okay.

All right, thanks.

Well, we can scratch
the miscarriage theory.

The blood we found
isn't Ella's.

Well, she probably fought back
against whoever took her.

Could be his blood.

Yeah, well, there's a lot
of drunk guys at the prom.

Maybe one of them followed her
up to the room and...

Jack said that she went stag
to the prom, right?

Yeah.

This is in
Ella's inbox.

"I can't believe you're dumping
me two days before the prom."

It's from a
Seth Foley.

Two felony assaults

and a cup of coffee
at Youth Authority Camp.

Maybe he didn't like
taking no for an answer.

What'd you say his name was?

Seth Foley.

Don't know the name, but
he was definitely there.

Crashed the party.

I went to kick him out when
I saw him arguing with Ella.

ELLA:
Let go of me!

Hey, hey, hey!
What's going on here?

Ms. Neese.

Back here
right now.

Who are you?

Justin.

You got a last name, Justin?

Timberlake.

Great.

Then bust a move
out of here right now

before I call
security.

Easy, dude,
I have a ticket.

This is a student ticket.

You're not a
student at Colony.

What are you, a cop?

I'm the prom cop, dip,
and I say you're leaving.

He's my date, Mr. Bacalli.

I spaced on telling
Ms. Schneider about it

until tonight,
so he's not on the list.

So, you're okay?

Everything's fine.

It was just a misunderstanding.

Then let's keep the drama
to a minimum,

at least until I leave.

And you, pull back on the 'tude.

Got it, Sheriff.

Come on.

A minute later, I looked around,
and they were gone.

So you let him stay

even though you knew
he didn't belong there.

Kids crash proms.

They just want to have some fun.

I'm not paid to be a fascist.

I'm paid to make sure
no one gets hurt.

Right.

L-Listen, I... okay.

I believe you're getting
a ping from his phone,

but we've circled this block
eight times.

Yeah, are you sure
it's this Foley kid?

Tell them we're going
to run out of gas in a minute.

What

Okay.

It's coming from
a parking lot off of Pierce.

Oh, would be nice if
they told us that earlier.

Clear.

Phone's inside.

I'm going to pop the trunk.

Yeah.

See, this is why I didn't go
to my senior prom.

I'm going to ask you
one more time.

Where is
Ella Neese?

I told you
I don't know.

All right, why were you two
fighting at prom?

She broke our date
without explaining why,

and I-I wanted to know.

And when she didn't give you
a good enough explanation,

what did you do to her?

Nothing. Look, if I knew
where she was, I'd tell you.

I'd like to talk
to her myself,

find out how I ended up
in my trunk.

Yeah, that's the other part
of your story

I'm having a problem with:
that you don't know

how you ended up
in your own trunk.

All I remember is being
in the hotel room with Ella.

We made up,
and everything was going cool.

Who is it?

All right, hold on.

Then I woke up here.

None of her friends
have mentioned to us

that you are her boyfriend,
not one.

I'm over high school. I don't
like to hang out with kids.

Really? Then
how did you meet Ella?

We went
to grief counseling together.

My grandma died
around the same time

her boyfriend went missing,
and we bonded pretty quick.

I guess she was
over her boyfriend

if she was making
out with you.

We're friends.

I can't help it if it turned
into something else.

And you have no idea
who broke into your room?

Like I told you,
I never saw the dude.

Well, how do you know
it was a dude?

'Cause I never met a chick
who could hit that hard.

Oh, you might want
to rephrase that.

Look, dude or chick,
I have no idea who it was.

Can I go now?

No.

You're coming with us.

JACK:
Seth could be lying.

After they went
upstairs, it could
have turned violent.

He kills her,
dumps her body

then makes himself
look like the victim.

By locking himself
in his own car?

Yeah, he gets stopped
and waits for an alibi,

but it's possible.

Well, except,
the forensics say

that the blood
in the room is not Seth's.

You could have
told me that before.

What, and miss out
on your whole

he locked himself
in his own car theory?

What a...

Hey. So Ella's mom
said that she was
at a beauty salon

for three hours
on prom day.

Now, the salon says
that she was only
there for an hour.

Any idea where she went?

Uh, no, but she
made a phone call

from the salon
before she left to a Ted Ward.

Now, that's the father
of her dead boyfriend, Alex.

We should check that out.

I was driving back
from Scarsdale

when I heard
about Ella.

My secretary called me
on the phone

when she heard about it
on the radio.

Do you mind if I ask you

what you were doing
in Scarsdale?

After Alex went missing,
I quit my job.

I got involved
in a national foundation

for at-risk teenagers.

I do speaking engagements
for them.

That's great. It's a...
It's a good way

to keep your son's memory alive.

I...

I have to ask you some questions
about Ella.

Of course.

Uh, we have phone records
that indicate

that she called your house
yesterday.

Now, did you speak to her?

Not on the phone,

but when I came home,
she was already inside.

Ella?

Mr. Ward.

Uh, sorry.

I used the hide-a-key out front.

I can see that.

You mind telling me
what you're doing?

Well, I tried calling.

The prom is tonight.

Okay.

And I just wanted to see

if I could take something
of Alex's to bring with me,

you know,
to remember him by.

They say
time makes things easier, right?

When's the easy part begin?

I don't know.

I miss him, too.

But that's not why
you're really here,

is it?

I'm just going
to take this, okay?

I gave it to him,
and I promise

I'll bring it back.

Do your parents
know you're here?

I really need to go, Mr. Ward.

I'm sorry I used the key.
I promise

I won't do it again.

What do you think
she was looking for?

Before my son Alex died,
he was involved with narcotics.

He used to keep
a stash in there.

Do you think
that she was into drugs, too?

I don't know.

But then again, I was
clueless before with Alex.

Did the investigators
in your son's murder--

did they have any suspects?

No.

Um, listen, Mr. Ward,
thank you very much

for coming in.

Oh, it's Ted.

And please, convey my concerns
to Jim and Diane Neese.

I know what they're
going through.

Yeah, I will.

Thank you.

VIVIAN:
But why sneak

into her dead ex's
house to score?

There's got
to be easier ways.

I don't know.

Hold on.

Johnson.

Okay.

Got it.

Canvas just found a car that was
reported stolen this morning

three blocks from where
Seth Foley was ditched.

Registered to a Marie Delmar.

Marie Delmar.

I know that name.

Someone you dated?

No, someone from
these files.

Okay, I knew it.

Look-- Marie Delmar.

She's a transfer student.
Ella tutors her

two days a week.

Oh.

Thank you, Ms. Delmar,
for coming down.

It's fine.

I'd prefer if you didn't tell
my parents about this.

They don't know about the car
being stolen

and everything.

Oh, well, actually,

we already
called them.

They're on their
way down.
No way.

Well, we'd like to talk
to you about Ella Neese.

What about her?

She's missing,
and we think she may be involved

in your car
being stolen.

Ella?

Makes total sense.

She's been acting kind of freaky
lately.

Uh, can you
define "freaky"?

For one thing,
she's imagining things.

I know. I know.
I'm late.

I brought you a
Pinkberry, though.

I've been waiting
for, like, 40 minutes.

I know. The line was ridiculous.

The smoothies are in the back.

Hit 6567,

and lock the car.

You want me
to ArmorAll your tires?

No, thanks.

So I got the
kiwi and mango.

Which one
do you want?

Ella?

Ella.

Are you okay?

Did

The guy in
the car?

Who was it?

It-It was him.

I saw his face.

Who?

Alex.

DANNY:
Are you sure she said
his name was Alex?

Yes.
All right.

And have you met
this Alex before?

No.

Does this look like the guy
you saw in the car?

His hair is a little longer,

but, yeah, it could be him.

Who is he?

DANNY:
Ella's boyfriend,

Alex Ward.

The dead guy?

No way.

Way.

So, how we doing
with Lazarus?

Well, Marie gave us
a partial plate

on a brown El Camino.

No matches in the city.

We're expanding

to the tri-state
area.
Okay.

Hey, I found something
interesting here.

I was looking over the coroner's
report on the Alex Ward case,

and they never ran
a DNA analysis because Ted Ward

ID'd the body
as Alex's.

Yeah, but how could a father
misidentify his own son?

The body was floating
in Cape Fear

for a week with a bullet
in the head.

I'm guessing he didn't take
too long of a look.

Yeah, and after three
and a half months

of wondering
whether his son was dead,

he was probably grateful
to have an answer.

Mm-hmm.

I don't know.

Let's get a court order

and have the medical examiner
exhume the body.

I'm not going
to need a court order

if Mr. Ward gives his consent.

Look, I don't want
to give him false hope

that his son might
still be alive.

That makes sense. All right.

Alex is alive?

We have a witness that says
she saw him a few days ago.

JACK:
You don't seem

too thrilled about the news.

No, we are. It's just...

Do you think he did
something to Ella?

Did he have any reason to?

A couple of days
before Alex went missing,

something happened.

Ella said it wasn't a big deal.

I didn't believe her.

Hey, you're early.

I thought you were studying
with Alex.

Yeah, we finished early.

Hang on.

Come here a minute.

What's going on?

Nothing. I'm just tired.

Did Alex hit you?

Why do you always
assume everything bad
has to do with Alex?

Because it usually does.

Did he do this to you?

Do I have to call over there
and ask his father myself?

He didn't hit me.

He didn't mean
to hurt me.

Things just kind of
went from zero to 60.

Hey, do you have any gum?

Hello!

Gum?

I hear you. I hear you.

My God, woman, what are you
hollering about now?

What?

I thought you were done
with this.

I am done with it.

I can explain.

Shut it.
Wait. Just...

I don't want to hear it.
Wait. Stop!

What are you doing?

Stop!

Oh, no!

The hell were you thinking?

That's not even mine!

Wait. Wait.

He's been clean
for over a year.

Maybe, maybe it wasn't
really his stuff.

Maybe he was just keeping it
for somebody else.

It doesn't matter;
he's an addict...

and I don't want you
to see him ever again.

You can't make me
break up with him.

Yes, I can.

I'm your mother,
and you will do as I say.

If Alex as much as sets foot

in this house ever again,
I will have him arrested.

Do you hear me?

Yeah.

A couple of days later,
Alex was gone.

Did she ever find out if
the drugs were really Alex's?

Well, they never spoke again,

but no,
Ella didn't think they were.

In fact, after Alex went missing
she blamed herself.

She thought he was in trouble

because of the drugs
she flushed.

Do you think Alex was dealing?

Look, he was bound

to get into trouble
sooner or later.

That's why we were hoping that
he was out of her life for good.

ELENA:
Listen, it's Ella's fault

that Alex is in trouble,
so he went to her

and asked her to repay
the money that he owed.

Yeah, but if he stays dead,
he doesn't have
to worry about it.

So why come back?

Maybe he got tired of not being
able to live his own life.

She gets to play prom queen
while he has to pretend
to be dead.

Yeah, it's possible.

I'd be pissed.

Pissed enough
to want revenge?

Hey, I always wanted
to be prom queen.

Here we go.

MAN:
Chopper, sit.

Sorry, Chopper
don't like Mormons.

How does he feel
about FBI agents?

Get on the couch, Chopper.

Stay.

What's this about?

You own an '83
El Camino, right?

Yeah.

This man was seen driving
your car last Tuesday.

I lent it to him.

It's my friend, Alex.

Well, how do you know him?

We were in shop together
when I was in high school,

and he's been crashing
here for, like, a week.

Where is he now?

I don't know. He ain't here.

Yeah, we're going
to need to come in
and take a look around.

The dog cool?
Yeah.

All right.

Chopper, stay
on the couch.

Hey, boy.

SAMANTHA:
Not much room
in here for two.

Yeah, um, Alex, you know,

he said he needed a place
to lay low for a while,

so I said he could sleep
on the floor.

And why did he need to lay low?

Um...

He owed this dealer some money

and I didn't ask
any questions.

I just said, you know,

I'd help out however I could.

By helping him stalk
his girlfriend?

It's not like that.

He went to go see her
the other day

and he didn't want to just walk
up to her and freak her out.

So he asked me to go talk to her
and bring her over.

So he could squeeze
money out of her?

He don't want
money from Ella.
What did he want?

Nothing. Just her.

It's really you.

Hi.

I thought you were dead.

Just in the South.

Are you...

are you okay?

Yeah, I'm good.

I'm still clean.

Good.

I went to your funeral.

Were you there?

Watching everybody
crying over you?

I mean...
is that what you wanted?

To punish me
for what I did?

Look, I didn't even know
I was dead until last week.

How could you not?

I was too busy... running.

Okay, I went online
and saw this article

about how I died.

I hadn't even been near
a computer in months,

until I took this
dry-walling job at a library.

What job?

What have you been up to?

What have you been doing?

Why didn't you call me?

I'm sorry.

I tried.

Okay? I even
followed you around,

trying to figure out
how to talk to you.

I think I knew that.

I've been having

the strangest dreams.

I thought I'd been
losing my mind.

Why didn't you
just come up to me?

I thought...

I don't know, like...

you were better off without me.

Obviously.

Do you have any idea
how much I've missed you?

I was afraid maybe
you were over me.

Totally over you.

Me, too.

Don't ever leave
again, okay?

Okay.

What happened after that?

You know.

After that.

She left.

That's the last time I saw her.

Has Alex seen her since?

Yeah, I mean, those guys

are going to be together
no matter what.

How much money
does he owe this dealer?

Alex said he owed the
guy, like, six grand.

I told him he should go
to his dad and say,
"Hey, I'm alive.

Can I borrow some cash?"

Why do you think
he didn't take your advice?

He did, I mean,

he and Ella went over there
and explained the whole thing

to Mr. Ward.

So Alex has seen
his father recently then?

Yeah, yesterday.

Why not tell us that
his son was still alive?

Well, he makes $3,000
to $5,000 a week

talking to schools
about his son's tragedy.

Yeah, that's gonna be hard
to be the professional victim

if your story has
a happy ending.

And if Ella found out,
he'd have to get rid of her.

He'd probably start
a foundation for her after
he killed and buried her.

I just spoke
to Ward's secretary.

She's on her way to meet him
in Jersey with 25 grand in cash.

Okay, so we're
going to Jersey.

Yep.
God help us.

Did you bring the money?

Give it to me.

Get out of the car.
Get out of the car!

Put your hands up!
Okay, okay, okay.

Okay, okay.
Put your hands up.

Where are the kids?

I don't know.

I'm going
to kick your ass.

I swear, I didn't do anything.

So why are you running?

Because Ella told you
she knew about Alex?

All she had to do
was keep her mouth shut.

But she wouldn't
so you killed her.

I didn't kill her.

I paid her off.

Ella came to the house
yesterday, just like I told you,

but she didn't want drugs.

She wanted cash.

$10,000.

You know I don't have
that kind of money.

Yes, you do.

Alex told me what
you've been doing.

He told me everything
last night.

Last night?

Ella, Alex is dead.

No, he's not. He's waiting
outside in the car.

If this is some kind
of a joke...

You know he's alive.

You knew that body wasn't his.

Well, if he's out there,
you can tell him to come in.

He doesn't want to see you.

Look, I know things
haven't always been great

between me and Alex,
but he's alive and he's my son,

and that's the only
thing that matters.

This is great news.

Is that the spin?

Is that how you're going
to make money off him now?

It's the truth.

The truth is that
Alex was in trouble.

He owed cash to some
seriously bad people,

and you wouldn't help him.

You told him to get out.

He needed to grow up.

He needed a dad.

We want $10,000 or I go
to the newspapers and the cops.

I'm serious.

You know what I tell people
about Alex may not be true...

but it's a far better legacy

than he would have ever
left for himself.

He was living on the streets.

You didn't even care enough
to find out where.

I still don't.

As long as it's far away
from here.

Who did Alex owe money to?

Some kid.

He came looking to collect
after Alex went away.

I told him to stick it.

And what's his name?

Seth Foley.

Get him out of here.

I told you that kid locked
himself in the trunk.

Ten dollars he didn't.

That's a bet.

Seth, take a seat.

Your lawyer will be here
in five minutes.

I don't need a lawyer.
I didn't do anything.

I said take a seat.

SAMANTHA:
You lied to us.

We know Alex Ward
is alive.

He was running because
he owed you money.

So you went to prom

to try to get Ella
to pay his debt.

I think I will wait
for that lawyer.

You're screwed
with or without a lawyer.

You lied to a federal officer.

This is your third
strike felony.

You're going away
for life.

I didn't lie.

You omitted facts.

We consider that
to be the same thing.

Look, man,
I get it.

I know you're
covering your ass.

We know about the money
and the drugs.

What we don't know about is
what you did with Alex and Ella.

I didn't do anything.

How could I from
where they left me?

I don't know. Maybe you sent one
of your buddies after them.

You haven't told us.

What I if I tell you
what I know?

Well, it depends
on how bad you want

that third strike
to go away.

After Alex got clean,
he still owed me 2,700 bucks.

Being the forgiving fellow I am,

I gave him an extension
on his loan,

if he held on
to some goods for me.

But then he flushed said goods.

And you felt less forgiving
now that he owed you six grand.

When I found out he and Ella
were going to use prom

as a diversion to run away,

I figured I'd better get my
money before they hit the road.

And how'd you know
that Alex was still alive?

Ella told me.

She told me the whole thing.

Oh, that's why you really went
to group counseling.

You get close to Ella,
she tells you where Alex is.

I even got her
to invite me to prom.

So what? She uninvited me.

At least I knew
where to show up.

Boo.

Didn't think you'd get rid of me
so easy, did you?

Hey, what are you
doing here?

I came to see Alex.

Seth, he could get
in a lot of trouble

if anybody knew
he was here.

I know.

So what time is he coming?

Huh? What time
is he coming?

Why are you
acting like this?

I just want the $6,000
your boyfriend owes me.

And you got to admit

I've been
pretty patient.

This entire time

you're the one Alex
has been running from?

Well, yeah.

You set me up.

I am such an idiot.

What happened after
you went upstairs?

Alex wasn't supposed to show up
until 12:00.

I had her call him,
tell him to come early.

So we waited.

It's been 20 minutes.

Where the hell is he?

He's coming all the way
from Midtown.

It may take
him a while.

You know, you could help Alex
pay off what he owes me.

Are you delusional?

What?

Get off of me.
What are you doing?

Stop! What?!

Stop!

No.

Shh.

Shh.

:
Open the door.

Hey,

what's going on?
You sounded strange

on the phone.

Alex!

Where's my money?

Oh, sorry.
I said

where is it?!

I have it.

I put it in your suitcase.

Why the hell

does Ella have a suitcase?

We're leaving town, remember?

Not with my money.

Get it.

Now let's see what
you brought Daddy.

Alex!

Next thing I know I'm waking up
in the trunk of a car.

That's the truth, I swear.

Do you have any idea
where they were running to?

No.

But I know Alex.

When it comes to running,
he's pretty damn good.

So we've asked
the major channels

to run a story on
Ted Ward and Seth Foley.

We're providing
a number

Ella and Alex can use
to call the FBI.

We're really hoping that
they're going to see the story.

And hopefully Alex will decide
to bring Ella back.

Alex didn't take Ella.

She went with him
because she wanted to.

I know Ella and I fought,
but you have to believe me,

if she were able to,
she'd come home.

I believe you.

But this is what you have
to understand.

Your daughter is very much
in love with this guy.

And she knows that
you don't approve.

And right now,

all she cares about is
she wants to be with him.

Please, there must be something
you can do.

She's 18.

Technically,
she's not even a runaway.

Well, I thought it was your job

to bring home people
who are in danger.

It is.

But according to everything
we've learned, he's clean,

and he's in love
with your daughter,

and he's not a
danger to her.

Not yet.

But no good will ever come
from that boy.

I don't think Ella wants to run.

I think Ella wants to come home,

but she's not going
to come home to that.

All right, you two,
knock it off.

Sorry.

Lucky for you,
you called us.

Keys.

Are we in trouble?

Do you how many manpower hours
of the FBI that you wasted?

I had every agent

in my department
looking for you.

What I should do is

put you in my car,
take you downtown,

and book the both of you.

But I met your parents.

So I get it, trust me.

They hate Alex.

I can't say that I blame them.

Can you?

No.

They don't even know him.

And they're never going to
unless you give them a shot.

You're starting to give me
a headache, okay?

Just, just go home.

Agent Malone?

Can I borrow your phone?

What is that?

It's a wedding ring.

We got married.

Of course you did.

Why are you helping us?

You remind me of somebody
that I used to know.

Mom.

No, we're okay. We got married.
