Cut!

That's a cut!

Sorry, Kira. Yo -ho, camera's now.

Stop, not you.

Am I supposed to be encouraged by that?

Step away from the table, hands in the air.

Aren't you going to frisk me first?

I only got a few hours. I don't think there's enough time for that.

Moses.

Hey, beautiful.

Man, I didn't think you could get any hotter. I think you just lowered your

standards since you left the rural.

Damn, do they pay you to eat all this stuff?

Can't even tell you how much. You would shoot me and take the job.

I'd have had to deal with those reporters every day.

Do you know I had to pull my Glock just to get in here?

Protecting celebrities is rough work.

Truth is, that little girl, she's very talented.

Very lost.

You and your wounded birds.

There's so many people pulling in so many ways. I feel like she could just

friend. So.

That's what I try to be. And she needs protection, too.

No one does that better than you.

Well, this time I'm out of my league. That's why I called you.

What's up?

Someone's been sending her letters.

Scary ones.

Hey, Moses.

That's Kira's manager.

I'm Daphne Strode. Nicole Scott.

Special Agent Scott is a personal friend who gave up a long weekend to come up

and help. What are old friends for?

You secrete, I inhale you. You stand, I impale you.

I want you, I need you, I feel you, I bleed you.

Duh. This came with it.

Pretty sure it's blood.

Has Kira seen this?

Hasn't and won't.

In your professional opinion, agent, should we be worried?

There's no way to tell.

Could be one of the 20 stalkers you already have, could be a class A psycho

teenage boy family poetry.

I'm done.

You don't rap for two more hours. And I need a song to record on Monday.

Well, two hours isn't going to make a difference.

Not to you.

But I am fried, and I am the one on camera.

I'm going to the cab and locking myself inside and bring that track in Monday.

You won't get past the photographers.

That's why I got Moses.

Come on, leave me out of Egypt.

Okay, we'll finish up next week.

The label's good for it. I gotta be good for something.

Love you.

I'll be a few hours. You cool here? Yeah.

Got lots to think about.

It's been a nice day.

Oh, my God.

Stay there, Deb.

Call Scott at the end.

She's still in there. Driver was thrown free.

How is he?

Breathing. Not much more. You got a shopper for him? On this county's

Damn it.

Pollock, it's Nicole.

I'm in Graymoor, New York. I need a medivac chopper here now.

Ex -agent Moses Hyrell.

Thank you, sir.

I'll turn on my GPS now. They can come in on that.

Keep them stabilized. Chopper will be here in 12 minutes.

Any chance?

The roof's crushed down to the floor.

There's no one in there.

How is she? How is Kira?

She's not there.

Not there?

Then she's alive.

Where is she? I don't know.

I don't know where Kira is, Daphne.

And if the doubt got no delusions, when my options are searching through every

shroud of truth, it's my conclusion.

Can we stay still till I find you?

Kira was heading upstate for the weekend. She had a place on Cold Springs

the Hudson.

Moses Tyrell, her bodyguard, was driving.

We know they're out because a bunch of reporters chased them out of the city

onto the thruway. Like Princess Di.

She's just about as famous.

They got off on the Taconic Thruway and onto Route 9, took a turn too fast and

flipped the car.

What's the status?

Unconscious and critical.

Kira hasn't been seen since.

Reporters witnessed the crash?

No. Moses had gotten a few minutes ahead, but we managed to get some images

them. They were taking pictures of Kira all the way from the city.

Two guys behind them had video cameras.

Starting here where the SUV goes out of sight.

And here, one of the photographers took this.

It's a gap of about two and a half minutes.

And in that time, somebody flipped this two and a half ton truck.

It's not secured and spread away.

I'd say we're looking for Lex Luthor. I don't know if Lex wrote this.

Lick me, darling. Grab me, darling. Take my knife and stab me, darling. What the

hell is that?

Here's a fan mail.

She got a gift.

Is that? Yeah, it's blood.

Which means it has a return address.

I found a match on a DNA database. It's a Chad Fletcher, 23, College Park,

Maryland. Arrested for sexual assault three years ago. Got a mistrial.

Are we sure this doesn't happen again?

You got it.

Well, look, it's six in the morning. I'm not really sure about anything.

But yes, I wrote these.

And sent her your blood?

I want to give Kara something from my heart.

That's clever.

You threatened her.

How? You've sent her a letter every day for the last two years.

I know.

Every boy needs a hobby, don't they?

She inspires me, and I wanted her to know that.

I want you, I need you, I feel you, I bleed you.

Sounds like a threat to me.

Only if you're afraid of intimacy.

Like your rape victim was?

I never raped anyone.

Check the record.

You just weren't convicted.

I believe that's the same thing in America.

So what were those letters then?

Poetry.

Lyrics to love songs I'm writing and that I hope someday Kira might record.

The D would cross -market beautifully with the book.

What book?

I'm writing her biography.

Oh. I know everything about her.

I know her better than I know myself.

Well, then maybe you can tell us where she is. I wish I knew.

I'm distraught.

Yeah.

You really look like you're suffering.

Some of us live internally, Agent.

Kira found a bread basket with a doll with her name on it? This basket was

supposed to contain rosemary, as the sign says.

So Kira's got Rosemary's baby. Like that old movie.

Yeah, it was about saint worshippers.

K, no, but it wasn't a baby doll. It was scarier than that.

What was scary about it?

Uh, her eyes opened. You know, the, like... Yeah, that's not scary.

Fucking dolls are very scary.

Especially when their eyes open like this.

So maybe it means Kira was kidnapped by an obsessed fan or treated her like a

doll. Yeah, like the guy that was following her in the vision, right?

Like this guy, for instance.

What you got?

Kira kidnapped.

Get the inside story on Club Kira.

Join now, only $29 .95 a month. What is this? It's a pay site run for profit by

Mr. Mark Berenson.

Agent, what do I pay you, $29 .95 a month?

No, sir. No, I do not. Is it more or less?

It's more. Yes.

I know. It's more.

So imagine how I feel when my psyche gets scooped by an internet pay site.

This is the guy from The Vision.

The one following Kira. That was outside of the soundstage where the video was

shot. So Kira never got in the SUV with Moses.

I would ask him how it happened, but the poor guy's still in a coma.

These pictures are from a telephoto lens. I may be able to pull the plate

numbers off the car. Great. Let's talk more, Duke.

And I know I don't have to tell you to... Get the internet guy.

Yes. That way you can find out if he's done all your job for you or just some

it.

You knew what happened to Kira and you kept it to yourself.

Yeah. To me and my 7 ,000 members, I'm really secretive.

You should have talked to us first, Mr. Berenson.

Which would have helped me how?

Would have helped Kira.

Not as much as getting kidnapped, dude. This is big, agent. Do you know how many

memberships I've sold today? Except this isn't about publicity.

It's about Kira's life.

Same thing to her.

So you're saying it helped Kira to get kidnapped?

You kidding?

She's not on tour. She can't finish the album. There's no product to move.

This keeps her in the papers, agent.

That's what this is about.

And the way I see it, there's nothing wrong with me riding on it as long as

she's driving.

There's too much grain in the image. I can't find anything else.

Maybe I can.

This is Special Agent Jess Mastroianni.

I've already told you everything I know. Right, Agent?

Yeah, I'm sure of that, sir. I was just wondering if you happened to check into

Club Kira today.

With the pictures of her high school boyfriend?

That's the one.

Sure I did.

Actually, it did inspire me to write some more poetry for Kira. Do you want

hear some?

Her name is Dante Connors.

Dropped out of high school, regular employment ever since.

Full B &Es, small time, nothing consistent.

Well, she's a star.

That's got to hurt. Yeah.

When did they break up?

As soon as she signed with her manager.

So what's Dante doing now?

Checking hotel enrichment a few hours ago.

This one here? 120.

Give me a minute.

Hands on your head! Turn around!

Where is she, Dante?

Yeah, where is she?

What's going on?

It's okay, we're FBI.

You're safe.

FBI.

I don't talk to Daphne for one day and she calls in the FBI.

Unbelievable.

Get off him and get out of our room now. I'm sorry, you're not just in our order

here, Kara. This is a criminal investigation.

Well, is it a crime for us to want a little privacy?

It is when you let everybody think you were kidnapped.

Kidnapped?

Just leave it up to death.

Have you not picked up a newspaper or turned on the television?

No, that's the point of this. How'd you get away from Moses, Kara?

He thinks I'm at a friend's place on the Jersey Shore. He said he was driving

you upstate. I know, that's to get people off my ass for a few days. What

people? My manager, the media, you know, they're driving me crazy.

So Moses drove up to my cab and the reporters followed him and I got in a

different car. What?

And Moses didn't know you came all the way down here, did he?

No.

With an old boyfriend.

He'd never let you do that, would he? What gives him the right to let me do

anything? Well, for starters, he may die because of you.

Die?

What do you mean?

Moses crashed the car, Kira. Running from the media, he's in a coma.

So I think you owe it to him to tell us what the hell is going on here.

I didn't mean for any of this to happen.

I'm just here to find our daughter.

So I want to be clear on this.

You're here of your own free will.

No one forced or coerced you. Does she look like she's being coerced?

I wouldn't lie to you. I'm a very honest person. You lied to Moses?

Well, what was I supposed to do? How about being straight with your friends,

Kara? He wouldn't have let me do this.

I want my family back.

Dante is the man I always should have been with, and I know that now.

And we're going to find our daughter and live together like we should have done

in the first place.

What daughter is this? The one we lost.

Lost how?

My career was just starting.

Daphne, my manager, she said she couldn't sell a teen mother as a teen

she arranged everything with an adoption agency. You let your manager talk you

into giving up your child? Who made you judge her?

It wasn't a crime.

We couldn't take care of her then.

Now I have money, I have stability.

She has me.

We can be the parents that we couldn't be then.

All right.

So what's your plan?

Well,

Dante, he found the man who arranged the adoption.

That's right.

We're meeting him tonight.

On our baby girl.

Let me guess, he wants money?

Fifty grand, it's nothing. He's selling a child.

What's his name?

Yeah, right, like I'm gonna tell you.

Yeah, you are gonna tell us.

You?

I got to tell you, I don't know what we're doing here.

This guy's telling baby that my friend is in a coma over this.

Listen, Jess, my weekend off, and I'm doing this on my own time. You don't

to stay if you don't want to.

Hey,

Brandon, it's me. Listen, I can't get to the muscle car show. I got to work.

I'll make it up to you. Okay, I promise.

Bye.

Make it up to him how?

I cannot be specific at this time. And who is this young man?

He's nobody.

Well, would I like him?

I don't know if I like him yet. Can we get back to the topic? I think I like

this topic better because you're always up in my business.

Hey, uh, business.

Listen, I know that you're sensitive about this stuff because you were raised

foster care, but what this broker guy is doing isn't illegal.

Yeah, but he's charging Kira 50 grand to tell her where her child is. I know,

and that's bad, but it's not against the law.

It is in my book, Jim.

Ladies, you've come to the right place.

No one's going to find a better home for your little one than John Rikers.

I'm not pregnant.

Of course you're not. How could you be?

A lithe young woman like yourself.

So, come in. Sit down.

So... If the two of you are looking to add a little joy to your lives together,

I have to warn you that an adoption is not legal in this state without a

sanctioned marriage.

So you think we're gay?

Yeah, but that's okay.

There are ways of getting around that.

Like this?

Like moving to a state where it is legal. Unfortunately, I can't help you

that.

So... Sit down.

We need to know about an adoption you arranged six years ago.

I'm sorry, but that would violate confidentiality. You want to talk about

violation?

You're squeezing 50 grand out of people just to tell them where their child is.

Now that's a violation that doesn't sit well with me, Mr. Reich, isn't it? Are

you threatening me?

Because there's a witness right there.

I think it would be best for you if you came down to the office with us.

Now.

Jeff, my partner is interviewing the baby seller and my boss thought it would

best.

This must be hard.

I'm used to hard.

And to pressure.

Like, I'm this giant business and everyone else is a stockholder.

I mean, Daphne, my publicist, my lawyer.

What about Dante?

Does he own a share?

No. When I was with him, it was pure, you know.

And then all this other stuff began to happen and I got pulled away from him.

I just want to get back there again.

Nothing stays the same, Kara.

That's well.

Dante and me were timeless.

Okay, he told me where the child is, and it didn't cost me 50 grand either.

You know where my baby is?

Kara, we can't give you that information.

Now, we're going to make sure that the child is okay, but unfortunately, that's

the end of the line.

How'd you get him to talk so fast?

I told him that if he didn't talk in two minutes, you were coming in.

I'm surprised at work.

Antonio ran this guy's record.

His ex -military used to work security in Vegas. He's tough.

Not as tough as you, apparently.

The addresses he gave you, check out.

John and Emily Peters of Barkers Mill, Virginia.

They adopted a girl six years ago.

Guess what her name is.

It's Rosemary.

Every indication is that they're a normal family in a stable home.

We're going to make sure they stay that way. Where's Rikers?

He's headed out of here.

Not good.

He didn't do anything illegal, Nicole.

Yeah, but he gave up their location to you because he was a little scared.

He'll damn sure give it to Kara with the kind of money she can throw at him.

Kira. Kira, wait.

Hold on.

Oh,

there she is.

Are you Rosemary?

You're so beautiful.

Who are you?

I'm a new friend.

I'm a good friend.

Are you a stranger?

I'm not supposed to talk to strangers.

Get away from her.

It's not what you think. Don't worry what I think.

I just hit 911.

Let's go, baby. Come on.

Had a feeling you were going to do this.

FBI, Mrs. Peters, everything's okay. Why do you know my name?

What's going on here?

I'm Special Agent Nicole Scott.

We heard your 911 call.

I'm sorry it had to come to this.

You gave him the $50 ,000 after all.

It's our baby.

Mrs. Peters, you deserve an explanation.

If we could come inside, I'll sort everything out for you.

Are we charging them?

I just can't bring myself to do it. There's enough misery around here as it

I'm going to go talk to her.

Okay.

Dante, can I have a moment alone with Kira?

It's going to be all right.

I just wanted to give her a good life.

A real home.

She's got that.

A real mother who loves her. She's got that, too.

Stop it. She's a little girl in a happy home who's never seen you before.

Were you expecting her to just run into your arms?

I don't know.

I don't know anything anymore.

What should I do?

You've known me for what?

A day?

And you're asking me to make the most important decision of your life.

I know what Daphne would say. Well, Daphne's not here.

You are.

Take responsibility, Kara. You walked into that little girl's life with this

mess. You don't understand.

I had nothing.

I was just a kid.

Now I have all this stuff, all this success.

Listen to me a sec, Kara.

A lot of us come from tough childhoods, and we had to learn to take

responsibility for ourselves.

You've got a lot of success, true.

But you don't own your own life yet.

That's my baby. And you're supposed to do what's best for her.

Leave her alone, sweetie.

I gotta get away for a while.

Go back to New York or something.

And take Dante with you.

He's gonna be your man again. He's gotta see how you live.

Who you really are.

You get any sleep? Some.

You? I keep thinking about Kira and that little girl.

It can't be easy giving up your daughter. Twice.

But this time she made the decision for herself and for the right reasons.

She's brave.

What about your friend Moses, any word? He's out of a coma and he's got the

phone number of three nurses so far.

Tell me something, Agent Scott.

Is it true about Kira's secret highway?

Sir? She set a date for her dog's life -saving operation yet, Agent

I don't know, sir. Well, I'm surprised you don't, given the rate you two leak

information to the Club Kira website.

Kira's secret love child, the secret uncovered by the FBI in Barkers Mill,

Virginia. Full story available to Platinum members only $29 .95 a month.

now. Oh, hell.

Exactly. Oh, hell. Someone must have followed Kira and Dante.

And they drew him out to that little gross front door for all of Kira's

and psycho fans.

Okay. We've got to get 24 -hour protection on the Peters' house.

Antonio, see if we can get the Richmond office to spare some agents.

It's too late.

Kira's been kidnapped.

This is a full amber alert. I want roadblocks on all routes in a 20 -mile

perimeter. The little girl was in the front yard playing before church.

Mom went in to tune on the oven. Heard the screeching of a car. That's all we

got. No ransom demand yet, sir.

Agent Scott's going to go pick up Kieran Dante, who are our prime suspects.

I think we should grab the internet guy, Mark Barrett. What for? For getting the

little girl kidnapped.

I share your sentiment, Agent.

But we'd have to have a military tribunal to convict him at this moment,

Agent Cortez can prove that he got his information from us.

Then we could bury him 12 feet under Fort Dix. I'm on him.

Listen up, people.

Agent Scott's going to be back soon with the suspects.

Let's go find this little girl.

It's my fault.

It's all my fault. Did you steal Rosemary?

Grab her from her home?

Of course not.

Then it's not your fault.

She was happy. She was safe.

Then I showed up.

Kira, we've got wiretaps on the Peters' phone and yours.

If the kidnappers try to contact either of you, trust me.

We're ready.

Do you have any idea where Rosemary is?

If I did, I'll be getting her back right now.

Can you tell me where you were at the time of her disappearance?

Working the same kind of stupid -ass job I always work.

Witnesses? And time cards.

And security video.

Take your pick.

Cortez, why isn't this internet parasite in here?

He's good, sir.

We busted his house, his mom's house, his girlfriend's house. I got it.

He's just smart enough to stay out of the way. But you, of course, are not

discouraged. The difficult is quick, sir. The impossible just takes a few

minutes longer.

I like that.

Here we go.

Website says there's been a ransom demand.

Ransom demand for Curious Lovechild.

How did Mark Berenson get this before we did? I said it came in by email.

Now I have the very best of you. All I want is the rest of you.

Punish me.

Punish you.

That's a ransom demand?

Yeah, you'd be taken that way. Sounds like Chad, that obsessed fan, has got

same rhyme scheme, same language.

He wants me.

He's not going to have you.

Nicole, all of this, it's because I wanted something I couldn't have.

Because I was selfish.

So if this guy wants to trade her for me, he can have me.

I'm not going to let you anywhere near him.

But at least you're thinking like a mom now, Kara.

Let's go. Our team is going to meet at the department.

Let's go.

Don't worry.

We'll find her.

He's gone.

Not in a good mood.

What would make him do that?

You mean what would make thick, twisted love turn to thick, twisted hate?

If you want to put it that way.

Maybe it was a child.

Maybe he felt like Kara wasn't saving herself for him.

You mean like she betrayed him or something?

So he doesn't want the money. He wants her.

Finish me, finish you.

Let's get a bolo out on this clown and let's have the theft ship to Antonio

immediately.

Okay, the Club Cure website now says they know the location of the little

They're going to release pictures tonight at 6 o 'clock. Instead of

Well, he's selling them on a special access basis only, $69 .95.

Find him and bury him. I did.

I mean, I'm close.

Close? This guy's good.

He doesn't use plastic. He hit his website with proxy servers.

This better have a happy rapid ending.

So, I called my friend Jim Michelson over the no such agency. No such agency?

National Security Administration.

I asked him if he could move over his satellite a little bit so I could pick

some cell phone usage.

And why would he do that for you?

We go back.

USC, 92, cheerleaders, tequila, pom -poms. Back to the investigation, agent.

Right. Bottom line is...

He moved the satellite, and we now know that this Internet guy is within 10

square miles of Richmond, Virginia.

What?

He's in Barker's Mill.

Where in Barker's Mill?

I don't know. I saw some tarot cards. Which ones?

Um, the hangman.

The hermit.

That's it.

There's a hotel called Hermit Creek.

10 -20, here it is.

Back there.

Check that out.

Guy's beaten unconscious and hanged to finish up. Right after he announced on

the internet that he had pictures of the kidnapper.

Except no one knew he was here.

So either he was in on the kidnapping, or someone followed him here. And the

kidnapper smashed the laptop and the camera to keep it a secret.

So, who are we thinking about?

Chad, the fan? Yeah, I mean, the guy's so obsessed with Kira, he trashed his

place.

What is that?

It's a jump drive.

Okay, game plan. You check in with Antonio, see how he's doing with that

drive. I'm going to go look for Chad.

No need.

Did you get him in here, sir?

No, he came in himself.

Fascinating story.

Chad, tell him.

I'm having nothing to do with Kira ever again.

I've wrecked everything of hers that I had, the whole collection.

Did you take Kira's little girl?

I knew you'd think that.

After that website published my poetry.

That was a ransom note.

It was poetry.

I wrote it two years ago.

And I... I sent it to them.

Never heard from them again.

Until they published it today.

Well, I have to agree with Jess.

Sounds like a ransom note.

I know.

But it's just abuse.

Abuse of my work.

Of my...

Intentions, my pure intentions for Kira.

And for what?

For money.

So you didn't take that little girl?

Would I be here if I had her?

You sit tight, Chad, until we figure this out.

You can store 120 megabytes in one of these jump drives.

The killer wasn't very tech savvy.

It's full of JPEG.

Probably a backup of whatever was on his digital camera.

It's Rosemary.

Can you enhance that? That's what I do.

That's John Rikus. That's the baby broker.

That's how the Internet guy found out about Keir's child in the first place.

Rikus told him the story, which he turned around and sold to people on his

website. So the Internet guy knew Rikus was connected to the case, and he must

have followed him after the kidnapping and got lucky with these pictures.

You call getting hanged lucky?

It wasn't worth the $69 .95, was it? Any way we can identify the window?

I can make out the reflection of the street sign in the glass.

The building's at the corner of Bryan Street.

There's something else.

What else?

What else? You know what the odds are of getting this far?

Guys, the fortune teller was turning over tarot cards.

There was the hangman.

That's Berenson. And then there was the hermit. That could be Rikus in hiding.

And then the hierophant, whatever that means.

The hierophant is a wise teacher. He's a holy man, a presiding priest.

As a matter of fact, in the Eleusinian mysteries... Hangman, hermit,

All of those start with the letter H. Is there an H street?

Look it. There better be. I don't like being interrupted.

No. No street with an H crosses Bryant.

Damn. Could you read the cross streets downtown?

Main street.

Farber, Haney Street. There's an H.

It's McCune Avenue.

Pope Street.

Pope?

The Pope is a holy man? Yes, he is.

He's also a presiding priest, which is what I said a little earlier.

Poor closure. No one's living in it.

Get the teams to go.

Guys, let's move.

Oh, my God. He says she's fine.

We got to go. No, we don't.

We let her have this before. We almost lost our baby.

Hell, we almost lost each other.

She's talking about going back to New York again.

What does he want for our baby?

He wants money. What else?

Two million bucks wired to an offshore cap.

Baby, we give it to him. Whatever he wants, all we got to do is meet him

Where's the girl?

Got her.

Everything's going to be all right, sweetheart.

I'm going to bring you home, okay?

You are under arrest for the kidnapping of Rosemary Peters.

You have the right to remain silent. Yeah, but you're not going to want me

Why not? We got you and we got the girl. Yeah, right. But you don't know who my

partner is, do you?

What is this place?

It's where Wacky said to meet him.

Says it'll be open.

You don't think he lives in this dump, do you?

I said, what are you talking about?

This is how I'm living.

A lot of years.

Since we've met.

You're serious?

Yeah.

Look, I said I was sorry, didn't I?

What more do you want?

We give him the money and we get her back. Are you crazy? We can't go through

with this.

We have to get him to stop.

Lady, he killed someone.

He did what?

And he has my baby? He had to, baby, all right?

He had to. The guy had pictures of him. He was going to put it on the net. That

happens. We're all going to prison.

Be together, don't we?

Don't we?

I want to get her baby back. It's not our daughter anymore.

You can have more children, okay?

Baby, listen, I'm not giving up on you. Listen to yourself.

You're making no sense.

I don't really even know you anymore.

Of course you do.

Baby, I'm still the same guy.

Don't take it.

Listen, this girl had a chance.

Doctor, you're really starting to scare me. Kira, don't say no.

Kira, listen. Kira, listen. Kira, listen.

Let me go.

Kira.

Kira.

Listen. Listen to me.

How's my baby? How is Rosemary?

Safe. We got her.

What's gonna happen to my little girl?

Child services is bringing her back to her family.

I'm happy.

I know I should be.

Look, Kira.

It's gonna be up to them, but I was thinking... I might ask the Peters

introduce you to Rosemary.

She's a special friend of the family.

No, I would really love that.

more than anything no promises all i can do is ask all i can do is hope

thank you

Rosemary, this is Kira.

Hi, Rosemary.
