Hello, John.

I'll be in a second. It's not stuck. I changed the locks.

When? Today. You promised you would be home by seven.

Something came up. Can you let me in, please? This has come up. The locks?

Everything. Our marriage, our life.

Janice, because I'm late? You're years late, John.

Janice, can you open up the door? Please, can you open up the damn door?

What is this? What's going on?

I think we need to take some time apart just to figure out where we are.

Janice, you... You know it as well as I do. I do know. I don't. I don't know

that. As a matter of fact, I have no clue about it. Don't be angry.

I'm not angry.

I'm not angry. I'm just... We should... Can we just talk about it? Good night,

John. Janice.

Janice.

Hey. Hey.

How you doing?

A little bleary.

I was up half the night.

Just by any chance it wouldn't have something to do with Agent McCotty.

I wish. I bet you do.

No, I was up because I kept having visions of a scarecrow.

A scarecrow.

A scarecrow.

Female, to be exact.

Morning. Morning. I came in at 6 .30 to get some extra gym time, and Eddie

Pollock was finishing his workout. I mean, does he ever sleep?

I don't think he ever goes home.

So, Jess, what do you think this scarecrow means?

I don't know. Did you have another one of your episodes?

They're visions.

Sorry. And yes.

Hey.

Hey. Called you last night.

Yeah, I know.

Sorry, I was exhausted. Never turn my phone calls.

It's nothing, okay?

I'm still not getting anything.

Well, did you include the 10 o 'clock?

And strawberries and dirt.

Nothing. Maybe it's like one of those old bands from the 60s, the Strawberry

o 'clock Dirt Field.

Or not. I mean, come on, you guys re -associate all the time.

Hang on, we haven't tried that.

Scarecrows stand in fields.

Tight field.

And we have something.

The Field Strawman Building.

Well, it was demolished last October. They imploded it.

There can't be much left on site. You said October, the 10th month.

Yeah, on the 10th day at 10 o 'clock.

Let's check it out.

Over there.

Can I help you? FBI, excuse me. This area is under investigation. Please shut

down the machine.

Shut him down, gentlemen.

He's here.

Okay.

Somewhere in this area.

What's this?

Let's go.

Looks intact.

Scarecrow, let us hear. She's protecting this piece of ground.

are shut down.

What do you see?

A bulldozer.

Two guys on it.

The guy on the side, I've seen him before. I don't know where.

What about the driver?

They might know.

It's Pollock.

Wishing you with me now.

See him here holding it down.

And in the dark I know delusions.

When my options are searching through every shroud of truth. It's my

General indices suggest a Caucasian woman, mid -twenties, about Janie's

Yeah, but I'm bulking up. That's why I'm in the gym all the time.

The rest of her was pulverized by the demolition. I want to build up to your

size. It'll give me more presence.

What do you mean, my size?

Nothing. It's a compliment.

Huh? Cause of death.

Lead poisoning. The bits of bone we found were from the sternum, the

section.

I pulled some gunpowder. Our Jane Doe was shot in the chest.

When? Sedimentation runs her body dumped about 12 years ago.

All right, Jess, let's run a check on employees reported missing in the

at that time. Already done. Everyone accounted for. DNA?

Mitochondrial search was negative.

Dental records?

Except for some braces she wore as a young girl. She had perfect teeth.

Basically, there's not enough forensic evidence to go on. Then it's time to go

to Pollock. What for?

He was in just a vision.

Are you kidding?

I could say he was driving it.

Do I look bulky to you?

You're tripping.

Janie just isn't long on tack, that's all.

So I do look bulky?

No.

But you would tell me if I did.

Yes.

Give yourself a break, Jack.

Her too.

Just listen to me. You want me to talk, I'm talking. You don't want to listen to

me. All right, go.

What?

Uh, we need your help on a homicide, sir. Great. I'm in a mood to commit one.

Sir, Jess had a vision. You're kidding.

That was levity, but please go on.

You were in the vision. Driving a bulldozer. Does that mean anything to

sir? Perhaps I'd be happier if I got a trade.

The vision led us to a human skull. Young woman, cause of death, gunshot.

got nothing. Dental records either. We'd like permission to go through your case

files, sir. Because?

Perhaps there's an unresolved case in your files.

You'll find very few unbroken cases in my...

Sir? Nothing.

There is nothing more than I would like to see than something unresolved become

resolved. You guys, you have my blessing.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you. I'm good.

Hey. Hey.

This image of our Jane Doe is useless.

Well, then we need a better image.

I'm going to get one. I'm going to order a 3D reconstruction from the graphics

unit. We're sick.

Pollock's old case has turned up a lead.

You ever hear of Barry Frank Winterlove?

The Beltway butcher?

Mm. Raped and killed half a dozen women.

Well, to be more accurate, he killed then raped them.

Well, he's in maximum security in Greenville, Kentucky.

Nick went to go see him.

So, uh, she just took off just like that? Look, Antonio, she's tired.

She's still coming out with the Roderick case. I mean, the woman died.

Jess, we work together. If you need to sign up, what's going on?

What's going on? Well, she's shutting down. That's what she does.

Did you bring me any candy?

So this body, it could be one of yours.

Absolutely.

I'm afraid it's a weakness.

What is?

My sweet tooth.

I especially like the hard -to -find stuff.

Peanut brittle, European chocolate drop sponge toffee.

Take a look at this picture for me.

Handsome woman.

You kill her, Barry?

Hard to say.

Wait, oh, yeah, you know, I recognize the birthmark on her neck.

Yeah, yeah, I killed her, chopped her up into little pieces, put them in wax

paper, like what you put saltwater taffy in.

You're sure she's one of yours?

Get me out of here for a day.

I'll show you where I buried her things.

I'm afraid I can still help him a little.

That's Anne Cumberland, Barry.

There were so many. I really should remember.

No, you shouldn't.

She's a receptionist in our office.

Very much alive.

Do you have any candy in there? As a matter of fact, I do.

Chocolate truffles.

But none for you, Barry.

This case is over.

But, sir...

So, Tess, what's this I hear about you taking delivery of a 3D reconstruction?

Wow, it's amazing.

Did you get a hit off the database?

Please don't pursue the matter anymore, Agent Cooper.

Sir, do you recognize this woman? Agent Scott and Mastriani, you are dismissed.

Dismissed? Why?

You've been replaced.

By whom? By me.

This is now my case.

That statue, you know who she is.

It is no longer your concern, agent.

My vision led us to her, sir.

Tune to a new frequency starting now. I want your notes, that sculpture, every

relevant paperclip on my desk by the time I return.

Sir. Thank you.

You see something?

Yeah.

You know that man in my vision with Pollock on the bulldozer? Yeah.

Well, he's right here.

That's Justice Stuart Langley, Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals.

He's also the reason Pollock made assistant director.

Janice.

Hi. Hey.

You look like my husband.

Stop. Yeah, you sound like my husband.

I thought locking you out of the house might get your attention.

No, it didn't.

Believe me, it didn't.

Unfortunately, that's not why I'm here.

It isn't? No, I came to see you stupidly. Right, of course you did.

Listen, I'll come see you anywhere, anytime you want. I mean, we should

right? Yeah, well, that would be new.

Listen, Janice, I don't know what you want from me. I mean, I think I've been

good...

Husband, I'm a good father. It's not the father part that I have a problem with.

It's the husband.

Listen, will you be home later?

Marilyn,

hi, how are you?

Adequate, John.

How are you?

I'm fine now.

Thanks. Right now I need to see Stu.

He's in the living room. Just go on in.

Good to see you, John.

Just going over an article that might be of interest to you. Search and seizure

limitations of our federal law enforcement agencies.

Well, that sounds like single -mountain material, Sue, but I have something more

urgent. Well, let's hear it.

We found the remains of Audra Wheeling. She was killed and buried 12 years ago.

That's unfortunate.

What's it got to do with me?

That's what I'm here to find out.

Pretty good, but I hate my hair like that.

It's going to happen again.

What if?

He's going to deal with another one.

Who's going to deal with another one?

He can't keep getting away with it.

Is someone else going to die?

If you don't stop it.

Who?

Okay, when?

There you go.

Tell me your name.

They threw it away.

Jess?

Was it her?

She was here.

Looking at herself, um... She said that, um... That he was gonna deal with

another one.

Soon.

Do we have to discuss this now? In my home?

A body's been found. There's evidence of a crime.

You had an affair with Audra about the same time the body was dropped.

I need to know the truth. You know the truth.

I know that she loved you so much she was going to go to your wife. And I

reached a settlement with her.

As you also know, I paid her $25 ,000 to go away. I suggested a long vacation in

Europe. And then she disappeared. And when that missing person file came down

the line, I wiped it. Based on your word.

John, I never asked you to do that. We don't have to ask each other for

anything, do we, Stu? True.

I can rely on my friends.

And they can rely on me. You can.

So, is there anything else?

Meaning? Are you innocent, Stu?

In every way. I've told you the truth.

All right, then.

Thank you.

So, what do you hear at the Bureau these days?

Usual rumors, restructuring, rethinking.

This time they're true.

But I'm in your corner, John.

Thank you, Stu.

I appreciate it.

No problem. I'll see myself out.

I'm going to miss her.

She needs a name.

What? You want to give her a name? I want to find out her real name.

You heard Pollock. We're off the case. This is going to his office. Jess's

vision says someone else is going to die. I believe it.

Someone's going to die?

All right, what do you need? A name.

Jess and I will do the rest.

Disobeying a direct order, sir?

No.

Alec spoke to Jess and Nick, so I'm disobeying an indirect order.

You cool with that?

If you let me, sis.

So you don't worry about disobeying a direct order?

Indirect order.

Once removed.

You learn fast, Cooper.

Hey, Nick.

This is Audra Wheeling of Bloomington, Minnesota. She was 24 years old at the

time of her death.

Next to Ken? They're still in Bloomington. I figured we'd leave that

now. This is interesting.

Audra worked for Justice Langley a year before she died. Last known resident,

Green Tree Hotel.

Well, there's no way she could afford a place like that on a clerk's salary.

Sounds like she had a sugar daddy.

And you have somebody in mind?

Well, if Audra was Justice Langley's law clerk... She could have been his

mistress. When you factor in that Langley helped Pollack get his current

the tender age of 37... Bulldozers in my vision could mean that Pollack's trying

to cover up the investigation.

This could get real ugly. It already has. I believe that is for me.

I ordered you not to proceed on this case. Yes, you did, sir. Why did you?

I didn't think you'd find out, sir.

An honest answer at last. Thank you for that.

Sir, her name is Audra Wheeling. She worked for Justice Langley.

She may have been his mistress.

Great men sometimes have great weaknesses.

And she was his?

Resolved with a buyout of $25 ,000. Langley's wrongdoing is moral, not

There will be no implication of a federal justice without true cause.

Well, how are we supposed to establish true cause if you cover it up? Watch

yourself, Mastroianni. All of you, I swear to God, last warning, this is my

case. Hands off.

You told him, didn't you? Told him what?

You're Pollock's spy.

I'm no one's spy.

Jess. Jess, where are you going? Well, I'm not going to let Pollock get away

with this.

Well, let me go. I'm better at confrontation. No, I am going. Before I

down.

You're treading dangerous waters, agent.

As are you, sir.

You got one shot. Make it good.

You have to let us investigate this case. Wow, that fell miserably short.

One murder has already been covered. Do you have any facts to back up an

accusation like that?

You're taking a chance.

You're gambling.

Facts. Agent.

If you cover up Audra's murder for Jetson Lane, you'll be burying yourself.

Get out.

What are you doing?

I, uh, once I get on a roll, it's hard to stop. What if I was Pollock? I'd be

screwed. To put it mildly. You will not be disappointed with what I'm finding,

sir. I promise.

Okay, just be careful.

Watch your back.

You're going to get us pinched. Yes, sir.

Jamie totally ratted us out. You do not know that.

When did she have time? I mean, look at all this work. Bank records, credit

cards, internet purchases.

She was way too busy to rat us out. How long does it take to say, hey, boss, go

look in the bullpen?

Jess, if she did that, trust me, I would know.

Okay, where is she now?

Following leads on Justice Langley.

Look, she knows what the consequences would be if Pollack catches her. She's a

team player.

What do you got against her anyway?

She doesn't like me. She's your co -worker, not your friend.

She's undermining me. With Pollack? With you.

She can't.

Jess, you're my partner and you're my friend.

What do you care what she does?

Okay, fine.

Good.

What else did she find?

It's what she didn't find that's interesting.

No record of a $25 ,000 payment from Judge Langley. Well, maybe he gave her

money and she never deposited it.

Possibly. Or she was robbed and killed first.

Or she put it in an offshore account or under a mattress.

None of this says the judge broke any laws.

Of course, we still haven't talked to his wife.

True.

What else was in your vision?

The card.

A queen. It gave Pollock 22.

A losing hand in blackjack.

In the vision, the dealer stabbed the card.

Queen of cards, 22.

Another young girl.

Another law clerk.

You know, if we were officially on this case, we'd already be talking to the

Langley's. Do you think we should?

I'm betting.

Someone already beat us to it.

All disclosures to us the only way I can help you. I don't need your help

There's nothing to this. Well, that would be ideal. The problem is I don't

believe you Come inside

What's

going on so Marilyn is gone

Gone how she she left you No, she didn't come home last night.

You tell me you think that someone has abducted her.

Yeah Well, where was she the last time you spoke to her going to meet your wife

my wife

There. You all right?

I'm fine. It's your fault, but I'm fine.

Maybe we should put something on that. I said I'm fine. Why aren't you answering

your phone? I mean, the whole point of having a cell phone is so that you can

accessible when I want to find you. When you want to find me?

Wow, thanks for clearing that up. Stop, because you know that's not what I

meant. You know, let me clear something up.

I don't work for you.

I won't be ordered around, and I will not be bullied.

Okay. No, you're right. You listen. Hey, hey.

I'm sorry.

Where are the kids?

Mondays and Wednesdays are fencing and swimming.

Tuesdays and Thursdays are piano and martial arts. Janice, I get it. I got

get it.

I'm going to pick them up soon. Do you want to do it?

I'm out of the house. Won't that confuse them? I don't think they'll really

notice until the weekend, which is the only time that they ever see you.

Did you really come here because you're concerned about me?

I thought you might have been on their own.

What's wrong?

Oh, Stu's looking for her.

Well, Stu doesn't need you to look for his wife unless something's wrong.

She stood me up. She was supposed to meet me. She called. She said she was on

her way and that she never showed.

Why didn't she say where she was going? She was at the florist. She was ordering

flowers for her benefit.

What's wrong?

I, um, you know, I can't say.

Janice, you know I don't like to bring that stuff home. I don't like to talk

about it. Which leaves me out of most of your life. I don't want you to worry.

You know that. Do you think that the way you came in here isn't worrying? Which

is what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to protect you from that part of my life,

Janice. That's all. I'm trying to protect you from that part of... Of

John? Of me, Janice. Okay, yes. I'm sorry.

But listen, I can't fix everything at once. Right now, Marilyn might be in

danger. I need the address of that forest. That's all. Please, can I have

As we know, Audra's last known address was the Green Tree Hotel.

Now, the rental checks were paid by a consulting firm known simply as Sparrow.

Sparrow in turn received steady payments from Stuart Langley at that time. Who

named the consulting firm Sparrow? The full name is Benjamin Sparrow.

I'll start watching my back.

Continue. It'll be the last speech you make as an FBI agent, so I hope it's

good. Sir. Stop!

Continue. Former agent Cooper.

Benjamin Sparrow. This is him.

5 '11", 170 pounds, black hair, dark eyes.

That's all you've got?

Yes, sir.

Well, you aren't going to make much of an agent anyway.

Does that mean I'm actually fired? If I get around to doing the paperwork right

now, we have a new case, one that needs discretion. So if you could follow me.

Marilyn Langley is missing. She was kidnapped at a flower shop yesterday.

The florist said she got into a car with a man who was taking her to her

husband. She never showed.

Sir, that has to be related to Audra Wheeling's murder. It's all the same

and Sparrow was in my vision.

You, with the short career, you mentioned payments.

There's documentation for a $25 ,000 deposit made 12 years ago into the

of Benjamin Sparrow by Stuart Langley.

Meaning? Meaning that Langley didn't pay Audra the money directly.

Or it was payment to Sparrow to get rid of her. That wouldn't happen. Now let's

do Langley.

We need to speak to Sparrow.

Well, that is the tough part.

Because? Benjamin Sparrow is legendary to some in this town and unknown among

the less informationally privileged such as yourselves.

Inform us, sir.

Sparrow is a fixture to the wealthy and to the powerful. He is also powerful in

his own right due to the sensitive facts that he is privy to and to the jobs

that he has done. He knows where the bodies are buried. Because he put them

there? In some cases.

Possibly. He has a reputation for being effective at dealing with people with

problems. He was the dealer in my vision. Let's just hope he hasn't dealt

Marilyn Langley. I want you to take Miss Disgrace here and track Benjamin

Sparrow. If we are dealing with Sparrow, we have moved on to a new level, my

friends. Anything can happen.

You two will come with me.

Justice Langley will be surprised when he opens the store, so I need you guys

help. Sir, we got this.

Thanks.

John, I'm sorry. This is not a good time.

These are Agent Scott.

I've been listening because the delicate nature of this investigation requires

special skills.

They seem to know how to break the rules and get away with it. John, please

forgive me. I was so relieved I forgot to inform you. Her mother had an attack

of angina and Marilyn rushed her to the hospital.

I apologize.

Green fees are on me for a month. Sue, that makes Dr. Sparrow her attending

physician?

I'm your friend, Stu. I'm here to help.

Your agents. Can I trust them? As much as you can trust me. Well, that could be

taken two ways. They're my people, Stu.

I rely on them. I trust them.

They're the best.

My God.

I'm a justice of the federal court. How did I get myself into this?

People make mistakes.

We all do. You have to make Audra's case disappear like it never existed. We

can't do that, sir. You have to. To save my wife.

Walk us through that.

I called Benjamin Sparrow after you first came to see me.

I asked him if he killed Audra.

He never said he did, but he wasn't happy I was asking.

Then Marilyn was gone. What did he want, Justice Langley? Just like I said, to

make the case disappear.

Kill the investigation or he kills Marilyn?

In short form, yes.

Why would he expect you to stay quiet after he returns your wife?

I don't know.

But I trust him to kill her if I don't do what he says.

Judge, there's something that we could offer him that he might trade for

Marilyn. Something that would guarantee his acquittal if it ever came to trial.

For God's sake, what?

Your taped confession.

That you acted alone in killing Audra. That's simply crazy.

Who is this woman, John?

It would work, sir. He would hold it over me for the rest of my life.

He's also about to kill your wife.

I strongly suggest you consider it still. It would be made under duress,

the threat of murder. Yes, sir.

Of no legal standing.

But he would feel like he had an insurance policy.

For Marilyn.

All right.

Set it up.

My name is Stuart Langley, federal judge for the Fourth Circuit Court of

Appeals.

This is a taped confession in the matter of the homicide of Audra Wheeling.

Audra and I had an affair in 1993.

When it came time to end it, she threatened to tell my wife.

For that, I killed her and buried her remains.

If this tape ever comes out, I want one thing to be certain.

Marilyn, I've made mistakes, but I've always loved you.

And I always will.

I killed her because I was too afraid of losing you.

Please, forgive me.

Now we wait.

You all right, sir?

Always. Why do you ask?

Well, with a case like this with an old friend, it's bound to stir up some

emotions. No time for emotions right now.

Nothing stays the same, agent.

Pardon me, sir? I'm just saying, even when you think everything's right,

stays the same.

That's true for all of us. You build structures in your mind, you try to keep

everything in place, you know, in control.

Maybe those structures that you're building, maybe they're more like

I find it very constraining.

Time. Time wasted. Time gone. Time you can never get back. Time you wish you...

You know, you made decisions you could change.

You can't change the past.

You gotta just try to do the right thing in the present, sir. That's true.

You're right. I mean, the difficulty there is trying to figure out what the

right thing is.

Benjamin, how is she?

Tell me where.

The exchange is by the Brickworks in Forestville, 6 a .m. Justice Langley

be here.

Sparrow could enter from one of these two areas.

That's good. You've got tactical units on three sides. But we won't. I'm

this whole operation off the books. There will be no additional resources

the volunteers in this room. If you do not want to go, that is fine. I can

handle it myself.

I have nothing else to do at 6 a .m., sir. We stay behind cover after the

exchange is complete. We move in, not before you wait for my signal. This guy

an ex -Marine sniper scout. Do not take him lightly.

Everyone got their ears on? Scott in position.

Cortez in position.

Maserati in position.

Keep an eye out for a car.

Don't think he's driving one, sir.

Target's in the zone.

Morning, Judge. I want to see my wife.

Mrs. Langley?

I thought that she can wait on the bus.

I need to know she's all right. Don't worry.

She's very safe.

I have a remote.

This button locks it from the other side.

And this button arms a very powerful bomb underneath the bus.

If I hit it again, the bus blows to pieces.

Can we do business?

Here's the confessions promised. Now, let her go.

Well, you don't mind if I audition it, do you?

Nobody move.

That bus is wired. There has to be a receiver attached to the bomb.

So? So if I can get to it, I'll disarm it. We can't take that chance.

Take a bigger chance if we leave it hot.

Very believable, Justice Langley.

You seem very skittish.

We are alone here.

Why wouldn't I be nervous?

Let my wife go.

No, not yet. Up against the car.

I'm going to search you.

I don't have a gun. A gun doesn't worry me.

He's going for the wire.

Disappoint me, Stuart.

Keep him covered, Jess.

Sparrow, stop. Green.

on the side of the bus.

On the count of three, sir, you can't shoot both of us. My message. I got it.

Go. I'll get the paramedics. Just go home, Agent. I'll clean it. But, sir...

didn't happen.

It's all off the books.

This has been a brutal few days, John.

For all of us. Yes.

Listen, I told Marilyn about Audra, finally.

And? And she's not going to make any trouble for me.

How fortunate for you.

I'm a fortunate man, John.

I'm surrounded by people I can rely on. People like you.

Like I used to be.

Excuse me?

We helped cover up a murder. I had no knowledge of Sparrow's actions prior to

after the fact. I made a case disappear that I should have investigated.

That's on you, John, not on me.

This is the report I filed.

It details how you hired Benjamin Sparrow to pay off your mistress.

Sparrow killed her instead, so you're not guilty of murder, Stu, but you're in

the chain.

And you have officially filed this. Oh, we're gonna keep the lid on it for a

week. So? So that you can come forward on your own.

Stu, I bought you a week. I owe you that much. You owe me much more.

I'm not responsible to you, Stu. I'm not. I'm responsible to them.

Audra's parents.

Look, with Sparrow dead, a jury will never reach a finding.

I know that.

But if this goes public, I'll never see the Supreme Court. I know that too, Stu.

I have friends who will be disappointed, John.

Very disappointed.

I'm gonna... I'm gonna have to take my chances on that, Stu.

You can't have everything.

How are you, sir?

I'm fine, Miss Riley. I heard that you filed a report on Langley. Yes, I did.

Well, I just wanted you to know that I'm proud of you, sir.

You're proud of me?

Well, you did the right thing in a tough situation, and it makes me proud of my

boss. Well, I, um... Thank you.

So, at Langley's house, when you said you trusted us and relied on us... Yes,

well, of course, it was critical that I got him to confide in us at that point,

so...

Luckily, I was able to give it the ring of truth.

Thank you.

Goodbye. Goodbye.

I wish we had happier news about your daughter.

Yeah, well, it's what we always feared.

All these years, we wanted to sell the house, get on with our lives.

We couldn't.

We... Kept the same phone number.

Praying that she would come home.

Try to phone us.

Not knowing was the hardest part.

I don't know.

I think knowing might be harder.

Hey. Hey.

Let's go home.

Home?

Which home? Either one.

I just don't want to be alone tonight.

Cool.

This used to be the sort of thing that made you want to be alone.

I know it used to be.

Nothing stays the same.
