All language subtitles for Missing s01e13 White Whale

You know what? I've never spent any time
in Washington.

I'm kind of glad Carl sent us here. Carl
didn't send us a case, Jess. It's just

mine.

John. Look.

Hey. How you doing? Good, how you doing?
Good. You guys know each other? Yeah,

John Murray was the legend around the
Washington Ox. Now he's just a rookie.

Very calming presence.

And by that she means I knocked on the
lunchroom.

Hi, I'm Jess Mastroianni. Hi.

How are you doing? Good. I've heard of
you.

We ought to get together, just you and I
in a racing form.

Anything new on Alexis Mandeville? No.

Still missing.

You ought to check it out.

Any signs of violence?

The signs are thumping. I don't know
exactly of what.

So the daughter arrives home around 1730
yesterday afternoon, and here's this.

Well, that's a different time.

Well, none of them seems to be all
right.

The mother went to lunch with her friend
around 1400, so that gives us our

window. Can we get the daughter in here?

Sure. Officer, could you bring Sarah in,
please?

Hello, Sarah.

It's you.

Yes, it is.

Have you been... I don't want to talk to
you.

Sarah.

Sarah.

Do you know where your father is?

No. And now I don't know where my mother
is either.

We spoke to your father recently?

He hasn't been a part of my life for
years.

Thanks to you.

Your mother's life could be in jeopardy.
Look, don't start this again, okay?

Just find her.

Please.

She's all I have left.

I'm trying to find her.

Your father might be involved.

Oh, I guess.

Oh, what is he now, huh?

The what? The clock killer?

Is that it?

He leaves a bunch of clocks whenever he
takes a victim?

You know, that's as crazy as the other
horrible stuff you accused him of. I

to speak to your father. Go away.

You know, why don't you go ruin some
other lives for a change?

This dream is real.

Take a look around.

The truth will be revealed.

This dream is real.

See it with the heart and your mind.

Alexis Manderville went missing
yesterday in Washington, D .C.

Manderville's her maiden name. She went
back to it after she divorced this guy,

Charles Edward Denton.

He looks harmless enough.

I want you to see me.

It's a triple B killer.

That's what the media called him because
of his M .O .B. Bind, burn, butcher.

I believe he was responsible for the
death of six people in Delaware seven

ago.

The killer apparently selected them at
random. People seem to have nothing in

common except for the horrible way in
which they died.

The evidence from one of the murders led
us to a Charles Edward Denton,

professor at Madigan University.

Brooke caught him, put the cuffs on him
herself, but we couldn't convict.

Two hung juries and the DA decided not
to proceed.

I knew that Denton was the killer. If I
could have connected the victims, I

could have proved it.

So what, he just walked?

Not exactly. When he was arrested, he
was convinced that his wife betrayed

So he attacked her.

He hit her about three or four times
before we managed to pull him off.

Let me guess, you got him on spousal
abuse?

That was Brooke's idea.

We found a judge who saw things our way.
He got two and a half years.

And did they allow you any more time?

Constantly. They tried everything to
break him, but they couldn't get him to

admit to anything.

Couldn't even get him to profile
abnormally.

Fred's a monster. He would tie people to
a chair and burn them.

After he was sentenced, he looked right
at me and said,

No time will come, Miss Hasliff.

I was sure he'd kill again.

These guys can stop themselves for a
while, but something usually sets them

Failure. Perception of failure.

Hi, Alan.

Brooke, I need your help on something
urgently.

D .C. has a missing persons case of one
Alexis Mandeville. I need you to get to

Washington ASAP and lend all possible
assistance.

Take Jess with you.

I did. We're already in D .C.

And Alexis Mandeville is actually...
Charles Denton's wife. We know that.

Get this bastard, Brooke. I will.

I'm assuming you've had Denton covered
since his wife's been missing?

Well, we would if we knew where he was.

He lives in Shreveport, Atlanta, and
Savannah.

Left Savannah about three months ago.

Whereabouts unknown.

I'll get Sonny on it.

You brought the door in for questioning.

Well, let's hope that goes better than
the last time.

It will.

You're going to talk to her.

So, what are you, a friendly agent?

I'm not an agent.

Oh, what?

An intern or something?

No, it's, um... No, it's nothing like
that. I'm... You know, I don't even

know what questions to ask you here.

So, this is about, um... I don't know. I
thought that maybe I would listen.

Well, I don't have anything to tell you.

Okay.

Maybe you... Good. Tell me about your
father.

I don't know that much about him.

I lost him.

I lost my dad, too, last year.

Not like this.

Not with everybody thinking he's some
sick killer.

What about your mother?

Oh, she believed it.

All the stuff in the papers and on the
TV.

She actually believed he did those
horrible things.

He hit her. I know.

And he shouldn't have done that, I mean,
obviously.

But she didn't believe in him.

You know, I mean, she was trying to take
me away from him.

You've been talking to your father?

No, I haven't.

You're seeing his side of things.

What? I can think for myself.

I know that you can. It's just the way
that you put it.

I mean, you're not wrong.

I mean, you want to find him and know
him.

Did you know your father?

I thought I did.

It got a little more complicated after
he died.

Look, Sarah, I can tell that you've seen
your dad.

And I know that you're worried about
your mom. We are too.

And I'm not saying that your dad did
anything here. I just think that you'll

your mom back quicker if you help us.
And if you want to do that, you have to

tell us where he is.

You've got to.

He's at 387 DuPont, apartment 12.

Brooke Veronica Haslett.

How the hell are you? I'm not here to
socialize, Denton.

No.

And you are?

Uh, Jeff Mastriani.

Also with the FBI?

Kind of, yeah.

Kind of is a meaningless expression,
young woman.

Uh, I consult with the FBI.

What does the FBI want with me?

The safe return of Alexis Mandeville.

Has she gone somewhere?

She's disappeared.

Oh.

Well, I haven't heard from my ex -wife
in years.

But in the unlikely event I should hear
from her, I'll let you know.

And now, if you'll excuse me, I'm very
busy preparing for a very important

lecture.

So she goes missing and I find you here
hiding near her home.

I am not hiding.

You changed your name.

Of course I changed my name.

When my name, Charles Edward Denton, was
associated with that noxious phrase,

the triple B killer, thanks to this
squalid tabloid society,

and you, of course I changed my name.

Think things through, Brooke.

You're smart.

You can handle it.

What possible motivation would I have
for harming Alexis?

Revenge. She ruined your life.

No.

If I wanted revenge on the person that
ruined my life, I would be looking for

you, Brooke.

Where were you yesterday afternoon
between 2 and 5 .30?

Right here, preparing a lecture on the
greatest work in American literature,

Herman Melville's Moby Dick.

You teach at a university?

No, no. No one will hire me.

So I've been reduced to teaching English
as a second language at a local

college.

You teach Moby Dick to people who don't
speak English?

Well, they speak it after they read the
book.

Have you ever read it?

Yeah, in college.

And did it change your life?

I don't know.

It was a pretty intense book. I remember
the professor spent a whole class

talking about the first three words.

Call me Ishmael.

Significantly not my name is Ishmael.

Right. An assumption of name and
identity.

So nothing the narrator says can be
taken as truth.

And I've devoted a whole chapter to
those words in my manuscript. I've just

completed my life's work, the definitive
critical work on Herman Melville's Moby

Dick. It is entitled My White Whale.

And you would find it very interesting,
Brooke, because it's about how the

pursuit of one's obsession can lead to
one's own destruction.

It's all here in the book.

You would find it very interesting.

The next chapter.

Quadrant. One.

Two.

Three.

Four. Five.

Six.

Water.

Okay, so this is a weird one. There was
this man, and he was writing, but he was

an old -fashioned man, or like a man
from the past, but he was Charles

And he talked about writing a new
chapter called The Quadrant.

And then I saw him whipping this guy,
but the guy was also Charles Denton, and

he was counting out the lashes to six,
and then he goes, and the water, and

they throw water on the wounds.

It's a chapter called The Quadrant.

Chapter 6?

No, 118.

It's a big book.

135 chapters, and it's all about
symbols, something mean, something else.

Perfect for Denton's mind game.

Okay, so why did my dream choose The
Quadrant out of all those chapters?

Well, let's think about that.

We're in Washington, D .C.

City is laid out in quadrants.

Okay, so maybe the dream comes from a
location.

Where does that get us?

Six?

I have water, Water Street at 6th
Avenue.

There are piers in the Potomac.

It's Brooke.

Yes, I do. It's 528 AM.

I need divers at Water and 6th.

There was a body.

She was weighted down.

And he said, Cause of death was blunt
force trauma hitting the back of the

Identification? Not yet. How long is she
in the water?

Eight to ten hours.

She was with Jeff sometime late
yesterday afternoon.

So now we go after Denton.

Well, what does he have to do with it?
Well, we found this body using Jeff's

dreams, and she's working on a missing
person, Alexis Manderville. So whomever

this is, it's connected to her, and
she's connected to Denton. But you're

going to get a search warrant based on
that. And the M .O. is nothing like a

triple B murder. It's burning and all
that. Well, this isn't an ordinary case,

John. Denton's killed a lot of people.

I'm sorry, before, and I'm right now.
I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm saying

you're not going to get a warrant for
this. I'm a dream.

Not for murder. Material witness.

Witness to what?

We've been watching Denton's place since
yesterday afternoon.

If he hasn't gone in or out... Okay, a
search warrant for the premises.

He's a narcissist, so if we just keep in
his face, then it'll throw him off

whatever he's got planned.

Let's just get the warrant.

Hey, BID. In fact, we picked you out of
the Potomac River.

Her name is Meredith Carruthers, 18
years old, student at Georgetown.

Any connection to Denton?

None that we could find.

Then why is the department abandoned?

Have we figured out how we made it out
of here? I checked with the agents at

surveillance duty, and they swear Denton
never left this place.

Well, they fell asleep.

He's a good man.

Won't you check this entire building?
Interview every tenant.

I thought you figured out the clock
thing. I thought it was about the fact

he said, your time has come.

No, that's too simple. Denton likes to
play games. That's what he's all about.

I think he's being silly. He has to show
it.

Clock means something.

Tablet.

I tried everything, and there's no
connection between Denton and the dead

Georgetown student, Meredith Crothers.
All the computer gave me was a lousy

coincidence. Try me.

Well, when Denton was in prison, one of
the shrinks that tried to break him was

named Meredith Bester.

Uh -huh.

I don't think this means anything, but
Meredith Bester's maiden name is

Crothers. They're definitely not the
same person, but it's a strange

coincidence. Thanks, honey.

I think it's about changing names. How
did Denton change his name to William

Wilson? That's crap.

I just remembered because it was the
title of this short story that we read

American Lip, which was the same class
where we read Moby Dick.

It was, um, what was it? It was a story
by Edgar Allan Poe.

And it was about these two guys.

They had the same name, and one of them
killed the other guy.

Brooke, we got something in the
basement.

I'll be right back.

Pete, the delivery guy, got knocked out
from behind.

Denson went out in his uniform, got into
his delivery car, and took off.

Surveillance confirms it was about three
hours ago.

That doesn't tell us where he is now.
I'm going back to the Mandeville. They

must have missed something.

My grandfather's clock was too tall for
the shelf, so it stood 90 years on the

floor. It was taller by half than the
old man himself, but it weighed not a

penny ounce more.

But it stopped short, never to go again
when the old man

died.

Hamlet. Dean Paracol.

What about him?

You know him, right?

He worked with me on the first Denton
trial.

He's the Bureau's explosives expert,
taught me everything I know. Okay, now

may not necessarily mean anything, but
he's been reported missing. He never

returned from a weekend hiking trip.

Denton, give me the information. Where's
Paracol last seen?

We can't afford to split focus here,
Brooke.

I'll follow up on Dean Paracol. You find
Alexis Manderville.

I'm on my way to D .C.

Dean Paracall's gone missing.

Hiking trip.

Doesn't mean that something's
necessarily wrong. People go missing all

in the woods.

The last time Charles didn't walk
because I didn't know the connection

the victims. Maybe this time it's me.

What is the connection between Alexis
Mandeville and you?

I'm the reason she left Denton. I know
Dean Paracall.

Everybody knew Dean.

It's not coming together, Brooke. It's
like different pieces of different

puzzles.

Well, maybe this will help. I had a
dream about clocks.

Really? Denton was singing about them.

What was he singing?

It was, um, my grandfather's clock was
too big for the show.

Old song about my grandfather's clock.

Clock's a great big clock.

What?

Nothing. Muttering.

Well, what's here in Washington, D .C.?
The great big clock. Naval office has a

match clock on Massachusetts Avenue.

Van Alexis Mandeville. Where?

She's been decapitated.

When I was seven years old, I saw a cat
get hit by a car.

And I had nightmares about that for
years.

So I just saw a head in a bag. You
didn't see it.

Okay, I was next to it, and I saw you
look in the bag, and I can imagine what

would look like.

I'm going to have nightmares forever.

Well, we found Dean Paracall.

He was in his pickup truck at the
entrance to the hiking trail.

His truck was blown up.

Forensics are on site right now, and
they're pretty certain we're talking

an incendiary device.

A bomb.

That's a new one for Denton.

Unless it wasn't Denton.

But he's got a pretty specific M .O.,
the triple B thing.

But serial killers almost never change
their pattern.

A really good one would. One who knows
that investigators key in on one

M .O.

Hold on.

bludgeoning don't you see you see what
his little game is the triple b killer

used a bomb on paracall and he
bludgeoned a woman in the canal and

manderville was decapitated beheaded
triple b all right i'm heading back to

city i should be there in about an hour
okay

Brooke? Did you knock?

Brooke?

Brooke?

Brooke?

That can't be. He just tried to abduct
Jess a half an hour ago. He's got to

still be in the area. I want him found.

You okay?

Just some bruises.

I figure I'll stop shaking by the time
I'm 40 and then I'll be fine.

I'm sorry, Jess.

It's not your fault.

Yes, it is. Denton went after you
because of me. I know it connects the

this time. It's me.

I should have seen it coming.

Do you want to get some sleep?

No. No, I want to stay in this room
surrounded by people in uniforms with

Brooke?

So is Jessica going to be all right? No
thanks to me.

I should have known when I got that call
from the lobby.

Who the hell called you anyway?

She did.

Take the cuffs off.

Are you kidding me?

She could have gotten just killed. She
didn't know. Just take the cuffs off.

So when my father called to talk about
mom, and I was

crying, and he was crying, he was crying
his heart out.

And he says, Hazel's never going to
leave me alone now.

You have to try to convince her.

Call her.

Talk to her down in the lobby.

So he used you to draw me away and get
to Jess.

Yeah.

I know that now.

And it's like all those other times when
we were laughing and talking.

Looks like it meant nothing.

More than nothing, because he was just
using me.

Manipulating me.

I swear to God, I didn't know your
friend was going to get attacked.

I know.

I've lost everyone now.

I don't know how I'm going to go on now.

I think it'll be hard, but you'll be
okay.

Denton's coming after you, Brooke.

Of course, Denton's coming after people
around me. Yeah, well, now we're going

after him.

God hunt us all if we do not hunt him to
his death.

What's that?

Ah, it's a moment, Dick.

It's about good and evil, life and
death, obsession.

It's full of symbols.

Everything stands for something else,
and something in there is the key to

whole thing. Well, I'm the one who
connects the victims this time. Going

people I know. We don't have the
resources to protect them all. You make

list. I'll worry about the resources.

There's only one person I trust to put
that together.

Okay, there's almost 50 names on the
list so far.

It'll take a few hours to get them all
protected.

Denton's in the DC area. That's their
priority.

We already have teams watching your
father, his wife, his kids.

We haven't been able to locate your
mother yet.

Neither will Denton. She's on the wet
coat.

And, Eric, it's a lot of the country.

Still in China.

What about the Q6, Sonny, all of
Brooke's friends from Quantico?

Well, the ones that are in the Bureau
are guarding the ones that aren't.

One other thing. Can you do a check on
the names of Denton's victims seven

ago? You know their names by heart.

See who else has a family.

Okay, yeah, well, I got nothing better
to do at four in the morning.

I just put out an APB on Denton, in the
district, Virginia, and Maryland.

Airports, bus stations, everything.

I'll chase you through prodigious flames
before I give up.

And kill you round Goodham.

So Denton wants me dead.

Tell me something I don't know.

Let's concentrate on what he said in
your dream. I'll chase you to

flame. Yeah, I looked it up.

The good hope line is like one in the
book, but it's not exactly the same,

might be significant.

Sonny's got something for you.

Go ahead, Sonny.

I got some interesting results in the
name search I did on Denton's victims.

going to fax it to you right now.

Great.

And by the way, for someone who loves
their privacy, you sure have a lot of

friends and acquaintances.

The list is up to 95.

And they're all accounted for.

Good. Thanks, honey.

Go get some sleep. I'm going to get
something to eat before I drop.

I have an agent who's been abducted. I
want every possible unit out there on

street, and I want them out there until
she's found. Do I make myself clear?

Hey.

What you doing?

I'm just been sitting here, trying to
get a feel for where Sunny is by being

around her things, but I'm not getting
anywhere.

I can't take it. I'm getting out of
here.

I'm going back to the scene. There must
be something there.

Well, what should I do?

Find Sonny.

Where should I start?

I don't know.

Think laterally.

Think about your dreams. Think about
Denton.

Just do something, Jess.

You don't scare me.

That's what they all say.

It's true, you don't.

But that's what you get off on, right?
Fear makes you feel powerful, but you're

not.

You can kill me, but you can't scare me.

I grant that you may not be afraid of,
say, physical pain.

It's a pity I enjoy administering
physical pain.

But I'm reminded of Melville's words
himself.

Ignorance is the parent of fear.

And you derive your courage from
knowledge. And I'm about to take that

you. And give you randomness.

That is a random letter generator. It's
going to spit out letters every 30

seconds until such time as a certain
combination occurs.

And what combination, you ask?

BBB? As a matter of fact, yes.

You think you're such a genius? You're
not. You're so easy to read.

You live in a fantasy world. You
obviously have adequacy issues, so you

kill people.

When the combination BBB occurs, it will
set off that timer, and two minutes

after that, boom!

You may not be afraid of death.

But not knowing when you might die will
drive you out of your mind.

You gonna stay out there all day?

Until I find something that leads to
Sonny, yes.

Stop punishing yourself, Brooke. It's
not your fault. It is my fault. I had

covering everybody from grade school to
second cousins twice removed. And who

didn't I cover? Sonny.

I don't want to hear about it anymore,
Brooke.

We have ground and air sweeps. Local
authorities are contributing all the

support they can spare. We have
televised bulletins every 20 minutes.

We will find Sunny if she's still... If
she's still alive.

We'll find her.

I think he's keeping her hostage to get
to me.

Well, let's hope you're right.

Testing, testing, one, two, three.

Thank you all. I welcome you for coming
this afternoon.

Very good.

All seems in order.

Ah, I caught you.

You look frightened.

I look bored, because I am.

Don't reduce yourself, just feel it.

Let's see.

The odds of this triple B combo going
off are 17 ,526 to 1, so I'm not holding

my breath.

False assumption.

Where? You assumed that I was fair, that
I wrote the program randomly. Does that

sound like me?

Now it's time to make a phone call.

Brooke,

Denton here.

I want to speak to Sonny.

Oh, I want you to speak to Sonny,
Brooke.

I invite you to speak to Sonny, but face
to face I insist.

I will tell you where to come, but you
must come alone, or I'll have to kill

now instead of later.

Okay. Listen very carefully.

Drive to the avionics field in the
northeast end.

Locate hangar number 13.

Knock on the side door three times and I
shall answer. And, Brooke, you must

resist the impulse to kill me, because
if I die, Sonny dies.

And the same rule goes for your goons.
Anyone but you and a little spitfire

dies. Agreed?

Agreed.

Alan, Denton called. It's on.

Avionics field, hangar 13.

I gotta go now.

Wait five minutes and go.

If he sees any activity... He won't know
we're there till it's time. Somebody

get me a vest!

So tactical we have a target total
discretion get the chopper up in the air

miles off

You are so melodramatic.

You're under arrest.

If I press this button, Sonny Estrada
dies.

I don't believe you.

After everything I've done, you don't
believe me?

Be it on your head, then.

Come on, I'll take you to it. You can
see for yourself.

Just throw the gun away.

Well, take my car.

Professor.

Lecture.

Good hope.

Sunny.

You all right, Sunny? I'm fine.

What do you want?

I want you to listen. I want you to
unload your gun.

I already threw it away. Please, please.

As is the case with Moby Dick, my
subject matter today will be varying and

I intend to speak of good and evil, of
choice and free will.

Free will is impossible in the absence
of choice.

Do you understand that?

So when I kill people, am I executing my
free will?

I have no choice.

You always have a choice.

So you don't understand.

You choose to kill people, innocent
people.

No, I'm driven to kill people, and
thanks to you and that stupid triple B

business, no one understood my true
genius.

So you use symbols, substitutions like
Moby Dick. One thing stands for another.

Your first six victims had the same
names of people you wanted dead, but if

killed them, it would lead to you.

So you use symbols of them instead,
people with their same names.

But now... Now?

I bided my time.

I planned it all very carefully, and I
waited.

I waited. I waited for you, Brooke.

I know Brooke didn't make it. We found
her car. Just continue the sweep of the

area. I don't particularly care what you
think right now.

Hope Hall what?

Uh... Denton said that he had an
important lecture to give, so in my

said, it said, good hope, and I entered
it in the computer.

Turns out Indiana State has a big old
lecture hall called Emerson Hope Hall,

which is closed for renovations this
year.

All right, get in the car.

All available units, Hope Lecture Hall,
Indiana State, now.

It's time, Brooke.

It's time for you to exercise your free
will. So choose.

You can kill me and kill your friend, or
you can save Sonny and I go free.

It's ironic, though. No matter what you
decide, I win.

I will become your white whale and haunt
you forever.

Two minutes.

It's all spelled out here in black and
white.

So choose wisely.

Then kill the son of a bitch!

Where are they, you sick son of a bitch?

Where are they?

We got them.

Get the hell out of here, everybody.
It's a bomb.

All right, everybody get out of here and
take her with you.

Get out of here. I'm speaking to the
both of you.

Read this. Read this. Tell me what to
do.

All right, I call the red wire the most
important.

Call me Ishmael. Nothing he says is the
truth.

He didn't say the red wire is the most
important. He said call it.

The most important.

What game? God, I hate this guy.

You guys get out of here.

Okay, what did Dean Pericall say?

Black is safe.

I'm pulling the black one.

Do it.

you

Please believe.
