What? There's an Amanda Buckley here to see you.

You're kidding.

Tell her I'll meet her in the lounge.

She's with her husband.

Well, then tell them I'll meet them both in the lounge.

Hello, Alan.

This is my husband, George.

I appreciate the ride to work, but I am not going to let you change the subject.

So she was a princess.

Wow. That's pretty tough to compete with. Well, she was technically a

Her father was a faun, which is a king, but she didn't live in any castles or

anything. Well, that's a relief.

And you're not competing with her.

End of story.

End of story. Wait a minute. You two were engaged.

She moved back to the camera rooms after your senior year, and you never heard

from her again.

Yep. The end.

Don't you want to know what happened?

No. No, I don't. She changed her mind.

And I wasn't, like, prepared to fly all the way to Africa just to confirm that

I'd been dumped.

Why am I telling you all this?

Because it's early, and you're lightheaded, and I accept full

that.

Speaking of being lightheaded, I'm going to get the citation on Friday night.

Like a parking ticket citation?

No, no, it's a... I work with the community a lot.

And it's one of those political affairs, and you know that things can be kind of

boring sometimes, and I guess I was just wondering if... Political things are

never boring for me, so I'd love to go.

What are you going to run for governor or something?

Yeah, something.

Yeah, maybe Congress.

What do you think?

Good idea.

You vote for me? I'd totally vote for you.

Hey. Hi, Brooke. I need your help. What's up? We have to find someone.

This friend of mine. Sonny, we're on.

Ex -bureau.

She married a guy with a business in Terre Haute.

She now works for the police department there.

She's sick.

How sick?

She'll die without a bone marrow transplant.

Her brother is the only possible donor.

But there's a problem.

I don't know where my brother is.

Charlie. Charles Buckley.

We had a falling out a couple of years ago.

How come?

Does it matter?

Oh, uh, no, it doesn't. There's no sign of Charlie at the

last address I had.

I sent bulletins to police in every city I could think of.

I posted his photograph on the net.

Nothing. So I contacted the Bureau, found out Al was here.

Al?

Amanda and I go back a ways.

After Quantico, we were posted together in New Orleans.

Look, we really have to find Charlie Buckley quick.

Because I'm home.

Without Charlie, Amanda will die.

Oh, I don't think this should be a problem.

Sonny, I'll get right on it.

Okay, here's the deal.

Charlie Buckley isn't missing at all.

Charlie Buckley doesn't exist.

Thank you.

I was tracking Charlie Buckley's life pretty well. He graduated, got married,

got a job selling ad space in a magazine called Business Sense. Had a kid, then

six months ago, the whole family gone, professionally erased.

How professionally?

Pretty damn professional.

He didn't do it himself. No, no, this is the kind of thing a big law enforcement

agency does. We could do it, a big criminal organization could do it,

even high -level hackers. So everything is erased.

Everything except for a 17 -year -old bank account, which hasn't been touched

all that time.

Maybe he forgot about it?

Not 40 grand he didn't. The guy sells advertising in a magazine.

Put a flag on it.

They may have erased his name and numbers, but they can't clean

I don't know. They were pretty thorough.

Yeah, but there are some things you can't erase.

Like a man's health.

Charlie Buckley's medical records are long gone.

True.

But check the records of the pharmacies located near his last known address.

One of them should have his prescriptions on file.

You can't come in here. Why not?

This is the FBI, George.

Amanda's my wife.

I understand that.

Now, the way that this is going to work the best is if you let us do our job.

We are going to find her brother.

Maybe you will.

Amanda seems to have this, I don't know, this faith in you. And I will try to

live up to that.

Now, George, go back to her.

Get her to the hospital. We'll let you know, all right?

You were right. Here are his prescriptions.

That's for high cholesterol.

That's for a pretty rare thyroid problem.

Oh, we have the friendly blue pill.

Viagra.

And, oh, wait a minute. We might have gotten lucky here. Let me double -check

this beta -hysteine.

That's what I thought. Beta -histine is an experimental drug.

Charlie has Meniere's disease.

What is that?

It's an inner ear disorder. It's pretty harmless, really. It just makes you

dizzy. Takes a lot of prescription.

That thyroid prescription is very unusual. The beta -histine is pretty

if we put them together, I bet we got a profile.

Let's go to the drugstore data bank. See if anyone else is using that

combination of medication.

Okay, we have three hits.

71 years old, no. Vietnamese name, no.

That leaves this one, and the winning pharmacy is located right down the

Wilmington, Indiana.

What was the name he was using at the pharmacy?

Don Halliday.

And we think that Don Halliday is really Charlie Buckley. You hear that? This is

an amazing coincidence, and I don't believe in coincidences.

Who has Marshall? Freeze!

Get your hands up! Let's show us your hands!

I'm FBI.

Where do you keep your ID?

In my purse.

Okay, get inside. Quick.

What in the world are you doing here, Agent Hazlitt? Who are you?

Catherine Chen, Assistant District Attorney.

Miss Chen, I'm trying to find Charles Buckley.

What's going on?

I'm Special Agent Brooke Hazlitt, FBI.

I'm looking for Charles Buckley. That's my husband. You're looking for Charlie?

Mary. How many times have I told you? You and Charles are in the Witness

Protection Program, aren't you?

Come in, please.

On October 12th of last year, I went into a fruit store on Grant Avenue in

Francisco.

Chinatown.

It was a little out of my way, I guess.

In fact, my neighbor Kevin Young was there too because this door had good

produce.

A man

came into the door.

Have you ever heard of the Wahing Dragons, Agent Haslam?

Yes, it's a triad that controlled criminal activities in a lot of Chinese

communities. What Mary witnessed was the execution of two people.

The store owner refused to pay protection.

Now the killings are currently being prosecuted and Mary's a witness, which

makes her my responsibility.

She takes a stand in seven days.

That's why there are no records of Charlie Buckley.

They moved us here to Bloomington six weeks ago and gave us a new name,

Halliday.

Agent. Care to let me in on why you're looking for Charles Buckley? His sister

is very ill.

Amanda? She'll die unless she gets a bone marrow transplant from Charlie.

Charlie's, uh... He's, uh... He's disappeared.

They haven't taken him.

They're gonna kill him. We don't know that, Mary.

Let's not jump to conclusions, okay?

Miss Penn, can I talk to you for a minute?

I would have appreciated it if you told me sooner that Charlie had disappeared.

Oh, really?

Yes, really.

What is going on here?

From what I understand, Charles went out to the local convenience store

yesterday afternoon and never came back. And your working theory is?

He left witness protection.

Voluntarily. Based on what?

Well, if the triad had taken him, they'd be making all sorts of threats.

Don't testify or we'll kill your husband.

There's been silence.

So he just left?

Witness protection's tough on everyone.

Our other witness, Kevin Young, he refused to enter the program at all.

And spouses walk out all the time.

I think that's what Charlie did.

Well, you should know that the police have initiated a search for him.

His sister put his photograph out nationwide, so the triad has got to know

he's no longer in protective custody.

Charlie's in an awful lot of trouble. Yes, he is.

Who are you?

Uh, Hi, I'm a special consultant, Master Annie, FBI.

Call me Jeff.

I didn't know FBI agents could be, you know, like babes.

I'm not an agent. That is, not that I consider myself a... Who

are you?

Good question.

I'm supposed to be Mitchell Halliday, but you're really Troy Buckley.

Are you going to find my dad?

I hope so.

We've got a really good celebrate.

He didn't just leave, you know.

Something happened to him.

We'll do our best, Troy.

I promise.

You're kind of young to be FBI.

How'd you get the job?

Well,

what I did was I got hit by lightning.

I was hoping there might be a course you could take or something.

So why don't you tell me about your dad, what kind of guy he is.

That kind of thing.

He's a great guy.

That prosecutor thinks he just got bored and ran off.

But he would never do that.

He'd have to have a reason.

A really good reason.

So there was no trace at the Bloomington bus or train station?

What about the municipal airport?

Nothing. Okay. Check private airports, heliports, used car lot.

Sunny. Thank you.

Something the matter? No, nothing at all. Nothing at all except for the fact

that I cannot track Charlie Buckley because all that stuff has been erased.

And if he left voluntarily, he's not traveling on the name of Don Halliday.

essentially I'm trying to find a guy who has no identity.

Okay, okay, okay.

Let's use that to our advantage.

Now, you have to use cash for everything. Does that get us anywhere?

Yes, yes, you're right.

Thank you.

Hey, I had a dream. It was about a birthday party. Whose birthday party?

I don't know. There was this boy there, but he was kind of all covered in

shadow. I don't know if it was his birthday or... I guess his dream doesn't

us very much.

It might be. We just have to figure out how.

Yeah. Oh, and there were these, um...

What do you call them?

Thingamabob's little toys that spun around and made it look like there were

butterflies coming out of cocoons.

Like metamorphosis? A new life?

Maybe.

Was it something that connected to Charlie or Mary or Kevin Young, that

witness?

No, nothing.

Great.

What's going on?

Somebody help me.

It's probably just a false alarm, but maybe we should go downstairs.

We shouldn't use the elevator just in case. We should take the stairs.

So you think the triad have Charlie Buck?

No, I don't.

I think he left the safe house on his own.

The evidence shows no sign of a struggle, and there's been no contact

kidnappers. But we know Amanda posted a photograph of Charlie on the Internet,

which means the triad know he's out there.

And if they get to him before we do, Amanda doesn't make it.

Yeah.

I'm not good with death.

Especially when it's someone I care about.

We'll find her, brother. She'll be all right.

Brooke.

Amanda and I were... And it's

something I always wonder about.

Yeah, I understand.

Husband seems like a nice guy. Yeah, he does. I'm going back to Bloomington.

You? Back to the hospital.

Will that do any good?

I think so.

Hadlet. Hey.

Hey.

What's up?

Not much. I just wanted to call and remind you about this political affair

Friday night.

Yeah, exactly.

Wait till you see the dress.

Oh, really?

So how's your week going?

It's good.

I'm missing you.

You know, I... Actually, I wanted to talk.

I don't have anything to hide from you, but... I know that I don't talk about

certain things sometimes from my past, and... I just want you to know it's just

because, for me, those things are over with.

Is that okay?

Okay.

So I'll see you on Friday.

Friday. Bye.

Has this sex got anything to do with you, business school class list of Notre

Dame 1995?

Thank you, Sonny.

Where's Jess?

She's down the hall.

Tell her we have to go back to Bloomington.

promised me that as soon as he knew I guess I should what I

guess I should have apologized to Charlie

too late now

it's not too late

To what?

I decided to come by to see how she is.

How she is is getting worse.

You found her brother?

We're getting closer by the minute. You know where he is?

You know, I thought I'd bring her this.

She used to love this guy.

You're it, Mary.

They killed Kevin Young. You're the only witness left, so we're going to have to

go over the testimony until we have evidence. No, we are going to help the

find my husband.

Is your husband's birthday around this time? No.

What do birthdays have to do with anything?

We have to rehearse the testimony. We don't have to rehearse it.

Okay. What about when the defense lawyer starts asking you about your eyesight?

Prescription drug.

When he starts to cast all sorts of aspersions about what you were doing

the neighbor, what are you going to say?

All right, we rehearsed that. I'm going to say exactly what I'm saying to you

now, that he should piss off.

Do you have any more questions?

Mary, look. Look, here's how it is. Find my husband, or I am not testifying at

all. They have him, they're going to kill him. They don't have him, Mary.

They would have contacted us.

Miss Chen, listen, I know that you're in the middle of this murder case, but if

we find Charlie, we could help prevent two more deaths.

That's what I'm here to do.

Sonny, you got anything for me?

Nothing since you laughed after me seven minutes ago.

You're pent up, you know that?

Yes. As a matter of fact, I do know that.

It's hard when it's personal.

It's not personal, Sonny. Oh, no, you're just doing your job in your usual pent

-up way.

Okay, could you do that?

Do what?

Just walk out of the house with your wife in danger. If I was motivated.

Motivated by what?

Something just as important.

What could be that important?

I don't know, but if we find it, I bet we find Charlie Buckley.

I bet you we do.

Okay, now do you know anything about access codes for mass online sweeps of

security net footage?

No. Then maybe you should make room for someone who does.

You don't have to shout.

I'm not listening to anything.

I just find that people don't talk to me as much when I have these things on.

You don't like people to talk to you? I'm not crazy about it, but, you know,

you want to talk to me, I guess that'd be cool.

Uh, what is this?

Oh, it's a practice telescope.

It's just a toy.

It's kind of neat.

He's like 150 years old or something.

Watch this.

Hey, Brooke, that thingamabob from my dream.

What? Actually, it's called a praxenoscope. Troy has one in the

has a butterfly coming out of a cocoon.

Mary, what can you tell me about Troy's praxenoscope?

It's an optical toy that they used before movies.

Charlie gave it to him. He's away so much he likes to bring something for

Gideon. Shut up and listen.

Who's this?

This is Mary Buckley.

We have your husband.

If you testify against...

Start going through the phone logs from pay phones and tracing cell phone

activity in San Francisco. I know it's grunt work, but it just may pay off.

And, Joe, would you contact the National Liaison Office, find out what you can

about the Kevin Young murder investigation?

Eric. Hey.

I'm kind of busy right now.

Okay. Whatever happened to Hello?

Hello.

Well, you know, I was in the neighborhood. I thought maybe, you know,

two minutes.

Yeah.

I just... I want to make sure you know that...

I'm okay where we're at.

You and me.

Good. Good, I'm glad.

I hope you're still okay.

After I tell you that I might not be able to make it to dinner tomorrow

This case.

Okay.

I understand.

But I have some potentially good news.

What's this?

It's your class list from B -School.

I thought I might try to find you a print.

But I didn't ask you to find the princess.

I know, but I thought I... Brooke, it's history, okay?

She got a better offer.

Or she looked back at me and she thought that... You know, I don't know what she

thought, but whatever she thought, I wasn't right enough.

Or I wasn't good enough or something enough.

That's all it was.

All right, I was just a kid from a hood in D .C. that wasn't enough, all right?

There you go.

Wait a second, wait.

She was your last serious relationship, right?

Yes, she was.

Okay. So I'm just a little concerned that you may stay stuck back there

you work on trying to find out what happened.

You know what? I don't stay stuck.

What I'm trying to do is get a dinner date.

Hey, Brooke.

What is it?

This is not a good time. No, it's fine. What?

Well, it's just, it's the birthday dream.

What about it? Well, the triad guy comes into the party with a gun.

But the little boy, he hides in the corner.

He's hidden. The guy can't find him.

Okay, so maybe the triad doesn't have Charlie.

And then there's that thing, the praxenoscope.

I keep seeing the butterfly coming out of the cocoon over and over again.

It's got to mean something.

Hey, George.

Coyle, what's going on?

I haven't heard anything.

You're supposed to be the super cop or something.

George, I've got my best agent on this.

Brooke Haslett is working every angle of this case. Then where is she? I can't

tell you that. Why not?

It's sensitive information.

There are aspects of this case that are a lot bigger than you just needing

information. Then what? Then Amanda's life?

I'm going to pretend you didn't say that.

Copy. ADHN?

What's going on?

The name Mary Buckley is still on the witness list.

Why? She doesn't like her husband anymore?

We need a guarantee he's still alive.

Put him on the phone.

He's not here. We're not stupid. This is Special Agent Hazlitt, FBI.

We need to make sure that Mr. Buckley is being well treated.

Are you serious?

At least assure us that he's getting his daily insulin.

No. This is not a hospital. He has...

How sick?

He doesn't take insulin, does he?

No, no, he doesn't.

They're bluffing. They'll say anything to make you think that they have them,

but they don't. I can't take that chance.

I think Agent Asselt's right, Mary. Of course you think she's right. All you

care about is your damn prosecution.

People's lives are at stake.

Including Amanda Avery.

She's running out of time. Hadlet.

Hey, it's Sunny.

Sunny, give me some good news.

Do you remember that bank account? The one that hadn't been touched in 17

Yeah. Well, it's been touched.

Really? A check cleared on that account made out to a Lowell Manx of Sacramento,

California.

Mary, Sacramento mean anything to you?

Charlie sold ad space for businesses. He covered that area.

We have a bogey out here.

Copy. Call me back with an address.

George, what the hell are you doing here? Who the hell is this man?

Amanda Averly's husband.

Mary! George, what's going on?

Amanda's taking a bad turn. I'm almost out of time.

Where's Charlie? How did you find this place? Look, I did some checking. This

a safe house, Mr. Averly. Anyone could have followed him here. We've got to

move. Okay.

We've got some standby vehicles on Bermuda Street. We should go out the

Mary, get your stuff. I'm going to get Troy.

I mean, I can't understand how the Triad found us. How?

This? This man... And talk to someone who cares. My wife is dying.

Arguing is not going to get anyone anywhere.

Brooke's right.

Amanda's still sick and Charlie's still missing.

What do you got?

Just one lead.

Charlie wrote a check to a man in Sacramento.

That's it?

That's it.

Better get on it.

Mom. Hi.

Yeah, I was just wondering if you remembered anything from my seventh

Anything special?

What for?

I've been dreaming about this party.

It's my seventh birthday. I think that something that happened then might be

important to a cake.

Well, you had a white cake with green icing. That was your favorite.

Ew. What was I thinking?

You were little.

Yeah, that is no excuse.

Green icing?

Oh, wait a minute. Was that the year...

Yeah, that was the year that your dad got stuck in Buffalo at a convention and

drove through an ice storm to get to your party.

You got something?

Maybe. We have a piece of surveillance video of Charlie in a bus station two

days ago. The facial recognition software says there's a 50 % chance that

him. Where was it taken?

Sacramento.

It's got to be him.

Yeah. But this is the weird part.

He's waiting in line, he gets all the way to the front of the line, and then

takes off without buying the ticket.

Which he would do if he thought someone was watching him.

Hey, guys.

I know whose birthday party it is.

Whose? It's mine. My fifth birthday.

We talk better on the plane. Come on.

Where are we going? To see the guy Charlie wrote the check to.

Jack called an ambulance.

They were with the FBI.

Oh, thank God.

Oh, that hurts.

Okay, easy. Let's try to put you down here.

Here you go.

Okay.

All right, so you're going to be okay. An ambulance is on the way.

Listen, sir, I know this is difficult. Try to stay focused with me here, okay?

But I've got to ask you a couple of questions. Okay. About what happened,

right? Yeah.

Who did this to you?

What? Who did this to you?

Three guys.

Asians. Do you know why?

They're asking about a check.

I would have told them.

I would have told them they didn't have to beat me up.

What was the check for?

What kind of a car?

Little Corvette, cherry red. The ambulance will be here in 15 minutes.

Now the triad can track him because he bought a red Corvette.

Yeah, nobody on the run buys a car like that.

He's not for himself.

But what would Troy do with it? He's only 15.

The bank account that Sonny found was set up 17 years ago.

There hasn't been one single withdrawal until now.

So the car's for somebody older.

What happens when you're 17 years old?

Let's go graduation, right?

It's around that time.

Be a good.

My parents bought me a stereo.

What are you driving at?

Charlie was a salesman. He was on the road a lot. He could have been doing

anything. His wife wouldn't know.

Whoa. My dad was on the road a lot. I am not sure that I want to hear this.

Your dad was running a second restaurant in Patterson. He didn't have a secret

life.

Charlie Buckley, Mr. Family Man.

Never stopped to consider how many families.

What do you mean?

The dream was about your birthday, the one that your father almost didn't make

it to. Right, but he did. He got that.

Charlie did, too.

His son or daughter is graduating, and he didn't want to miss that.

So he sneaks away, attends the ceremony, gives his kids a car for a gift, and

heads back to Bloomington?

Then get spotted by the triad at the bus station and can't take the chance that

they'll follow him back to his wife and son.

Okay, so I can't get back to Bloomington. Maybe what, uh, he finds a

and holds up?

Family number two.

Right. Well, you'd think that it would be easy to spot a cherry red Corvette

racing around town.

That's what the triad are doing.

What are those, what were those, um, the thingamabob?

Choice, choice.

Yeah.

I think I was focused too much on the butterfly image. I should have been

thinking about what those things actually are.

They're what people used to use for entertainment before they had movies.

Exactly. Sunny, listen, I need you to look into something for me.

In and around Sacramento, any stores that specialize in old toy projections,

movie, memorabilia, things like that.

Mom, someone's here.

Can I help you?

I'm looking for Charlie Buckley.

I don't know anyone named Charlie Buckley.

I'm Special Agent Brooke Hadlett, FBI.

Charlie's sister is dying.

He's the only one who can help her.

I, uh...

Better come inside.

Charlie.

Who are you?

She's an FBI agent.

We've been looking for you. You're not the only ones.

Your sister is dying.

She's what?

She needs a bone marrow transplant.

There's a car coming.

Their basement? No.

Everyone go out the back.

What do you mean she's dying? Get out the back!

Get in the silo!

Aren't you coming too? No, just get in there, Jen, okay?

Your brother's a perfect match, Amanda.

They're doing the harvesting right now.

You're gonna make it, baby.

I need to say thank you, Al.

Atta boy, Agent Coyle.

I always knew you were SAIC material.

You were the only one who knew it, though.

Do you ever wonder what it would have been like if we... Would you believe me

I said no?

Not a chance.

Then there you go.

There you go.

Hello.

Hi.

Hi.

He's, uh... He's just finished.

He was the perfect match for Amanda.

He'll be all right? Yes.

Fine.

I'm glad.

I am, too.

Although I don't know why I would be, but I am.

It's not what you think.

He and I weren't, you know, we weren't together.

He loves you.

He's a good dad.

Troy, right?

You know my name.

I know a lot about you.

I don't know anything about you.

We can fix that.

I think that'd be good.

Need a lift?

Did it ever occur to you that I may have found another date?

Not for a second.

That's what I like about you.

To top it off, you look amazing.

You know, I've been meaning to talk to you.

There's an event in my life that still needs some closure.

You know, once upon a time, there was a princess from Cameroon.

Yes, there was.

Thank you.
