Previously on Missing. Okay, listen, put
your eyes on and hold your position.

And wait till we get there.

Do you have evidence for Jamie Cooper?

I didn't lose Dr. Cooper. She didn't.
She's gonna try to take energy on

30 pills, is that right? That's what it
said.

It's so hard about filling a damn
script.

I don't know how you can give this up. I
mean, look at all that you've

accomplished the way you shot up to the
ring.

Yours will come too, Janie. The key is
to be ready for it.

We introduce to you Special Agent Janie
Cooper, fresh out of the box and still

under warranty. Does anyone have any
food allergies I should know about? I

to bring treats in the morning. That's
the way I am.

I'm sorry we got off on the wrong foot.
I just want you to know I'm here for

you.

I hate funerals.

Ever met anyone who liked them? Yeah,
but I really hate funerals.

Especially when it's someone young.

Whole life ahead of her.

Makes you want to look for answers.

Good luck finding them.

What time is the service?

Not until two.

Anyway, it can't be any worse than the
wake. Oh, man, the family.

I'll let you know where she came from.
Yeah, intense, very goal -oriented.

Climbers.

I didn't mean for that to sound as bad
as it did.

It's true.

Yeah, but you can say it. You liked her.

She liked you. Oh, Jess, come on.

You know deep down that she liked you,
too.

No, she didn't.

And you liked her.

Kind of.

Whatever I say about her right now is
wrong.

I mean, if I talk about how much I loved
her, I'm lying.

And I can't talk about our real
relationship.

I didn't know what to say to her
parents.

You didn't have to say anything.

They're coping.

They felt like she was doing her duty.

Maybe it's their answer.

A code that helps them translate what
they're feeling into something bearable.

There are a few things that instill
strength like a code of honor. Yeah, but

you've still got to deal with things
sooner or later.

They're going to deal with you.

Freudian myth. Do not give in to that
stuff in our jobs. We cannot be weighed

down by our feelings. We never know when
we could be needed.

Hey, boss.

Jillian, hey.

What's in the box?

It's Tuesday.

Does that mean blueberry?

Corn. Blueberry muffins on Thursdays.
Coffee status?

In progress.

I'll go open up. I went to listen after
David's fax. I'm waiting before the

court staff stumble into the office.

Okay, wait for me. It's just a coffee.

Medium black takes four seconds.

Yours without the latte grande mocha. No
fat chocolate decaf. Takes four

minutes. Okay, I'll see you up there.

Wow, Jillian.

Those look great.

Jillian?

Jillian?

Jillian? Help me, please.

Oh, my God.

Are you all right? He took her.

Who did? A man. He knocked me down and
took her.

What did it look like?

I don't know.

Wishing you and me now.

Me, I'm here holding it down.

I've got no delusions.

When my options are through every shroud
of truth, it's my conclusion.

This is a low -level case, but I want
you to take it.

Her name is Jillian Sheff, apparently
abducted less than one hour ago from her

place of employ.

Sir, Janie's funeral is today. Still
hours away. The best way to deal with

is to work it to death.

Sir, this is wrong.

Is it?

What do you think the late Agent Cooper
would have said if it was your funeral

instead of hers? Would she say we should
neglect our work and wallow in emotion?

Well, we don't know, sir. She's not
here. Or would she have done her job?

Sir, she was not the most sensitive. I
don't think you want to finish that

sentence, agent. Not on this of all
days.

Okay, sir.

What do we know?

Cortez. Yes, the victim disappeared from
the office of her employer, Ellis

Easton, a noted criminal attorney.

Uh -huh. Criminal attorney.

That pretty much sums it up, doesn't it?
Probably a lot of skeletons in that

closet. Probably a whole ossuary.

Ossuary is a depository for human bones.
I thought a little humor might cut the

tension. It didn't, sir.

Then allow me to add to it.

The Office of the Inspector General is
still studying the death of Agent Cooper

and is yet to make a finding. Sir, Janie
died in action.

It was no one's fault except... Except
possibly her own, sir. It's procedure.

For one thing, they want to make sure
about who fired the shot that killed

Are they saying it could be one of us?

Because you know that every shell that
the Bureau issues is numbered. Not like

every hair on your head. And forensics
recovered all of them, sir. Right, you

have nothing to worry about except
Jillian Sheff, so let's go find her.

We're in the coffee shop.

We talked about the muffins she made.

She brought muffins to work? Yeah,
picked them from scratch a couple of

week.

Is that significant?

No, it's just kind of a coincidence. We
know someone who did that.

Mr. Easton, you've defended some
notorious people.

Everyone's entitled to counsel.

True, but it would be helpful if you
could... Give you a list of my clients

the last five years?

Thank you.

Do you know anyone who might want to
harm Ms. Sheff?

Unfortunately, more than one.

She married young. Too young.

The marriage failed.

The husband's name is?

Damien Sheff.

He's, uh, known to police.

He's holding her back.

She has ambition.

Brains. She wants to make something of
herself.

You said there was more than one. Yeah,
yeah.

Big Ray. Sorry, I don't know his last
name. He works in the building.

Maintenance. Part -time.

He's, uh, not quite right.

Morley? He claims to be in love with
Jillian. He sends her notes, gifts.

She can't stand being around the guy.

Dick Ray is Raymond Niehaus, 30 years
old, high school dropout, couple of

misdemeanors. He was not scheduled to
work today, and he is not at his

residence. What about that car he sent
off pulling away?

It was a blue Sabre, late 80s, was his
best guess. I ran a bolo out on it.

Nothing like that registered in Niehaus.
Doesn't even have a license.

The husband?

Um, he has an 03 Chrysler repossessed
last month. He's Damien's chef. Last

address is no longer operative. His
priors include a B and E, a D and D, and

DUI. A whole low -life alphabet.

Mm -hmm.

Anything on Jillian's background?

Mother and sister still live in Tacoma.
She moved here five years ago. Doesn't

have many friends. She's very career
-oriented.

I have good news and bad news. The IG
has cleared all of you in the death of

Agent Cooper. I should hope so. However,
in accordance with Bureau policy, you

each have to undergo a psychiatric
evaluation.

What for?

A member of this unit died in the line
of duty.

Why don't you think it's bad enough? Oh,
I don't like it any more than you do,

but since our culture now celebrates
grief by wallowing in weakness and

you have to do it.

Is this psychiatrist aware that I
have... Vision's absolutely not. You

in there and you trick him into thinking
that you're mentally stable and get on

with it.

And you two, maybe you could keep your
feelings to yourselves for a change.

Cortez.

Yeah, hold on.

The ex -husband turned himself in.

So I called her.

It's legal.

Not if it's harassment.

I'm guessing she told you to stop. She
would never do that.

I loved her.

You're not married to her anymore.
Everybody needs a chance.

I'll do anything I can to find her.

Tell me where you were this morning.

I can't. Why not?

Because it doesn't sound good. It'll
sound better than not telling me.

Now, where were you?

Two drops of scotch.

A bar?

Yeah. At nine in the morning? If I'd
known what was going to happen, I would

have been there. I would have done
something to stop it.

No one ever knows what's going to
happen, Mr. Chef.

That's why there's so much sadness in
this world.

Okay, look.

Calm down. Easy for you to say. You were
not grabbed by a hand from the grave.

Neither were you. It was just a vision.
No, they're not visions until you know

they're visions. When it happened, it
was a hand from the grave.

I felt really cold.

Was there anything else?

I don't want to talk about the vision. I
want... I want a job in the food

service industry. Something involving
French fries and paper hats and no hands

coming out of the ground.

Maybe it had something to do with the
case, Jeff. And maybe I was at Jamie's

funeral, who I couldn't stand, but she
was shot and killed, so I feel guilty,

and so now she's going to haunt me
forever.

Maybe that goal.

Are you okay?

Yeah, just a little off today. You know,
the funeral.

Yeah, right.

Washington police found Big Ray.

Raymond Niehaus, he's the janitor who
was sending love letters to the missing

woman. That's good news. It gets better.
He wasn't supposed to be at work today,

and I can place him in the missing
woman's office as of this morning. How?

skin.

Shed little parts of skin all day long,
and skin cells die off at a specific

rate once they're off the body. His
morbidity rate of his... All right.

Not today.

Enough.

Why were you at work on your day off?

I forgot my paycheck.

I went in early to get it, then I left.

Talked to anyone?

No.

I'm not... social.

You knew Jillian Sheff?

Intimately.

And why would you use that word, Mr.
Niasse?

You know it's going to set me off? I
just mean that I knew her from the

From her true self.

Did you abduct her?

Absolutely not.

I could never harm her.

She was afraid of you?

I don't think that she was afraid of
anything.

She was strong.

Stronger than me.

Self -made, you know?

We're all self -made, Mr. Niasse.

Call me Ray.

We're all who we decide to be.

She's losing it.

We're all losing it. We shouldn't be
working.

A job never stops when it should.

I've got to say, the guy's likable.

Likeable and innocent are two different
things.

No cynicism, agent, especially in front
of the psychiatrist. This is Dr. Eleanor

Reese, head of staff psych evaluations
based in Quantico.

She's here to bring you light and hope.
These are agents... Cortez and Scott, I

know. I don't like to be interrupted.

And I don't like to be challenged.

I'm sorry, that was inappropriate.

You're right.

I'm just feeling a little edgy today.

Okay, well, we're all under a lot of
stress here, so... I recently quit

How recently?

Oh, four and a quarter hours ago.

Congratulations. Maybe you shouldn't be
doing this today.

No, no, I'm fine. I've got the patch.

Tomorrow would be fine.

No, it has to be today.

Bureau policy is written for a reason. I
know. I often write it.

We have to make sure the public is
protected against agents who have

trauma and could be carrying guns.

Well, the public has no worries here.

I'm sorry that you're having this
reaction to me. I'm not having a

think you would know if I was having a
reaction. Would you mind if I go first?

Won't a very demanding case.

Certainly.

Sir, here's the... Just a second, agent.

I'm thinking.

What are you thinking about, sir?

How to get that woman's body out of the
building without anyone seeing.

You've got quite a record.

I didn't know this was about my record.

Difficulties with authority,
independence of action. You're

state, not my character.

They're linked.

Not always.

Trouble with authority, right?

How did you feel when Agent Cooper was
shot?

Is that the best you've got?

In what sense? That question.

It's terrible.

What would you prefer? Something that
doesn't sound like nightly news on

5.

Something that might have some meaning.

You're angry with me? Yes.

I am. Good.

Isn't this a strong dinner party list?

Jillian Sheff was in contact with more
than ten people facing felony charges

past few months. Not all of them have
the right profiles.

Arsonist fraud. Narrow it down.

Please.

Don't want her ending up like Agent
Cooper.

No, sir.

Let me ask you something. Is she

dead?

Is who dead? Agent Cooper. Is she really
dead?

You know she's dead, sir.

I know. I know.

No, I know. I know.

I do. It's just that...

You know, sometimes you think something
happens, but you shouldn't.

Or you shouldn't believe it if you're
the only source of information, you

I'm sorry, sir.

What I'm saying is that my life has been
a little chaotic, you know, lately.

No, I hear you. The schedule's been
tough and a lot of pressure. No, I mean,

it's been kind of, you know, coming
apart.

At the same, so if I'm going to lose
grip, you know, if I were to lose.

Something like this, you know, Agent
Cooper's passing, it could be, you know,

could be something that I could imagine.

But it's real.

Too real.

All right.

Thank you, Agent.

You're welcome, sir.

So at the end of the day, this is still
a job, not a mission. But when you work

with people in this world, it's like you
live with them.

Their pain is your pain. Their wins.

Are yours.

They're losses, too.

Hey, how are you?

Hello, Pollack. Yeah.

Weird. Like usual?

No, weirder.

Oh, good.

So you've got a shared responsibility.

That doesn't end with the job.

It's almost like... Well, it's almost
like it never ends at all.

Amazing. Astound me, agent.

The janitor admits to being in love with
the missing woman, sir.

He wrote her poetry and sent her gifts.

Dragged her off in broad daylight.

He says he didn't.

All right.

Let him go.

And follow him.

You're reading mine now, agent?

No, sir. Just the visions.

Oh, just as well. He wouldn't want to
know my thoughts. Not fun right now.

Well, the visions are no picnic either,
sir.

You had one?

Yeah. But it was about Janie.

It's all about Janie today, agent. It
will be for a while.

Something like this happens, it, uh...
It, uh, well, people, you know, it

up questions.

So the question isn't, can you keep
going?

It's, when do you think it stops?

Some questions you can't find an answer.

Some questions you don't want to answer.

But what if you have to answer?

Then I'd say, I won't.

Would you like a muffin?

Oh, my God.

I'd make them myself.

You're dead.

Try one. I don't want a muffin.

You have to be careful on this job.

It's getting killed.

It did get you killed. You're dead. I'm
not dead.

If I were dead, I wouldn't be able to
look you in the eye and tell you you're

screwing up again. What are you talking
about?

You're missing something.

Look over there.

Where's my boy?

FBI!

Drop your weapon!

Drop it!

I've already been to one funeral today,
but you want to make it two.

Get over here.

Talk to me.

You lied to me.

I don't like that. I didn't lie about
anything.

The bar you said you were in went out of
business last month.

They're my friends. They still cook for
me.

Mr. Chef, you are much, much too small
to box with me.

But we're seeing some people.

Yeah, what kind of people?

They had a couple dozen DVD players.

And you've got a lot of movies to watch.

Look, I lied because I didn't want to
get busted.

You know, if I took my wife, why was I
beating on that fat man? So you could

me that very question, and that's why.

I want her to arrest me, hold me for 24
hours. I don't care.

Just find my wife.

Please.

I had them make coffee.

Great. Black one, sugar. Thanks.

Can I have a sugar?

Oh, it's not good for you.

Okay.

Can I have one of those sweeteners? Have
you ever had a colleague die before

Agent Cortez?

Uh, no.

Can I get one of those sweeteners?

Oh, I think I just had one.

Do you mind checking?

Let's stay on track.

I mean, you must have had agents die all
around you. Yes, people I've served

with have been killed. No one in my
department or...

Anyone I was supervising. Do you feel
responsible?

No. Haven't you ever thought about it?
Of course I've thought about it. Not

seriously. How do you know what's
serious?

Do you smoke?

No. Why?

I'm just asking.

So you've thought about your
responsibility for Agent Cooper's death?

Yes, and I don't have any.

Okay, um, you know, what happened is
sad, it's tragic.

But she made some bad decisions.

So you're blaming the victim? No, I'm
not.

And why does it matter if I smoke?
Because I want a cigarette.

Now, you must have feelings about all
this. I prefer facts.

Facts are true.

Feelings can be true, too. Can be.
Aren't always.

Just because you feel something doesn't
mean it's true.

Since Agent Cortez is getting his head
shrunk at the moment, time is of the

essence. I will be joining you on the
canvas of these criminal clients.

Who on the list is most likely to
offend?

Clients who are convicted are more
likely to hold a grudge. They would also

in the joint, so... We concentrate on
the recently released, sir.

James Robert Mullen did five for
forcible confinement of a young woman.

a locator on his ankle that was out of
contact this morning when Jillian was

abducted. Aren't those things hard to
disable? They are, but your phone line

isn't, and that's what they broadcast
to. We'll go see them. Who else?

Next, we have Ilya Chermak.

Who hasn't gone to trial yet?

Militia leader in Serbia faced war crime
charges. All of them dropped. Now

pursuing opportunities in the world of
drugs.

Indicted on multiple trafficking
offenses.

No strong reason to think that he'd hold
a grudge against his own lawyer, but...

He's nasty. He's in the picture.

I'll go see him. You two take the sex
offender with the electronic jewelry.

The other members of your unit are
women. How do you feel about that?

Lucky. Seriously?

Yes, seriously.

Working so closely with women, do any
inappropriate feelings ever develop?

Anything I've ever felt has been
completely appropriate.

You know what I mean. Now, why don't you
spell it out?

You worked with Agent Scott previously
in Phoenix. There were rumors of

interpersonal feelings.

Is that a question? How would you
characterize your relationship with

Scott now?

I would say it's private.

Is privacy your habit? In our world, you
meet a lot of people. You don't know

who they are or what they want.

You better off just keeping your
feelings to yourself.

Please, come in, Mr. Polk.

It's a pleasure to welcome such a
distinguished official to my office.

I had many government contacts in my
homeland.

Unutra Serbia.

Very good Serbian.

In fact, I did police work there myself.

Was that before or after the war crimes?

Those charges were dropped.

And you find yourself accused of yet
another crime.

Accused, exactly.

And I will be cleared again. I am
innocent of the drug charges. I run a

company. You retained Ellis Easton to
plead your case?

I am told he's very able.

Were you aware that his legal secretary,
Mr. Sheff, was abducted this morning?

No.

That's terrible.

I like her. She has ambition.

In Serbia, you...

We're known to abduct people, you know,
for leverage to motivate.

More lies from the Hague. Well, I'm just
saying we want your lawyer motivated to

keep you out of jail. I would hope
substantial fees are motivation enough.

Mr. Pollock, I did intelligence work,
and I am not without resources.

Let me put out a few, how do you say,
feelers on this thing. If I turn

up, I will be happy to help you.

Now I'd like to talk about things you
may think about that you don't like to

think about.

Okay, how about taxes?

I mean feelings you might be ashamed of.

Sorry, Doc.

New fact.

New facts, new feelings.

The sex offender checks out. His phone
line went out this morning. That's why

his monitor bracelet stopped sending
signals.

But he did alert his parole officer, who
outbid him.

He didn't kidnap Jillian. Well, we can
rule out Big Ray, too.

At the time of the abduction, he was on
an ATM security camera two miles away,

cashing the check that he went in to
pick up.

So, we're back to zero.

We have a call from the Sheriff's
Department in Carroll County, Maryland.

found an abandoned car off Route 97. A
1990 Blue Sabre.

Cortez is on his way.

This is just the way we found it.

No one's around?

Nope, sir.

Body? Nope.

Any sign of a body?

Well, I guess you could say there was a
sign of one.

Yeah, covered in blood.

We'll get the report later. Okay.
Thanks.

Hey. Hey.

Strange, but good.

What you got?

It's not Jillian's blood. So she still
could be alive.

But whose blood is it?

How does it pertain to Jillian, and
what's it do to her chances?

Excuse me.

Scott!

Where?

Man or woman?

South of 97?

Okay, got it.

Cops found the body just up the road.

Jillian? Unknown white male, cut to
pieces.

Want me to bet the blood matches?

No.

Mr. Chemrack is going to trial,
Assistant Director.

But he's a man of honor. He lives by a
code. He's not expecting any sort of a

deal for this information he has to
offer. In return, he assumes he's not

putting himself at any further legal
risk by sharing it with you.

Agreed?

Agreed.

You're in on that.

My friends have been making inquiries.

And? Her husband is involved with drugs.

Does he work for you?

I run a security business.

Seriously? No.

For someone else.

I see. So you don't mind handing him to
us? Frankly, he's too small to be in my

radar. But big enough that people care
about the money he owes.

So they took his wife to leverage him?
Is what they say.

Yes. Who took her?

Several possibilities.

I can give you names.

Should I bust all your rivals?

Not everything is about business.

I know this woman. I like her. Very
efficient. Very...

Strong will.

I, uh, I knew someone like that.

Names.

Telling you anything?

This guy just won't keep his mouth shut.

Meet Martin Hallmeyer. He's 35 years
old, 6 '2", 195 pounds, blood type AB

negative, which is very rare, which
makes it easy for me to ID him. There

blood in the car.

And he was mutilated?

By someone who knew exactly what they
were doing. It's almost surgical.

Okay, I'm out of here. He's a sex
offender.

Repeat convictions, abductions, rape.

His work report's right there.

You own that car we saw? No, it was his
neighbor's. He lived three doors down.

We don't know if it barred it or if it
was stolen.

It's a capital carrier. Yeah.

Jillian's law office was a regular stop
for him. He saw her all the time.

So he kidnapped her.

Drives her into Maryland.

And then what?

She gets loose, steals a knife, and cuts
him into this?

No, not a chance.

This is pro -work. So the question is,
who the hell did this?

And what are they doing with Jillian? If
she's even with them still.

A vision sure would be great right about
now.

Yeah, well, it's not happening.

Besides, all I keep seeing is Janie.

And I'm doing the shrink's office.

We got a tip about the ex -husband.
Checked his house. Came out with two

of white powder.

Is that connected to Jillian? He's
involved with people with some serious

resources, that's all.

Thoughts on where the victim is now?

Possibly with whoever put that guy on
the slab in there.

We don't, uh... We don't know much, do
we, Agent? Sir, we have done very well

for just a few hours.

I mean, as human beings, we don't know
much.

Why do... Why do people die?

I don't know, sir.

Ah, there you go.

We don't know much. What is love? What
is anything?

Answers I want.

Answers all day long around here. I tell
people I want answers. And at night, in

the dark, I tell myself I want answers.

Well, I think we're all looking for
answers, sir. Why is there evil?

Because we have choices.

So you think evil is a choice?

Yes.

Nobody makes bad guys do what they do.
They choose it. What about earthquakes

tsunamis? Are they evil?

They're tragic, not evil. Do you feel
responsible when you fail?

We don't fail much. You're very
confident.

Not really.

I always feel like I'm not good enough.

But in the end, we usually get the job
done.

Are you responsible for Agent Cooper's
death?

I want to build up to your size.

It'll give me more presence.

No.

I'm not responsible.

Of course I'm responsible. Sir, you're
not. Not by any stretch.

I couldn't protect her. You know, it's
just like I can't protect my family.

Of course you protect your family. Not
from the coronation hotel, I don't. Not

when my wife needs her space to decide
whether I'm worthy of another shot. No,

I'm not protecting my family. And no, I
did not protect Agent Cooper.

I mean, Nicole. I mean, she's a kid.
She's a rookie.

She was mine to protect.

And I blew it.

I blew it. And because I blew it, we put
her down on the ground today for a nice

long nap in the dirt.

No one can protect everything, sir.

Not me.

Not even you.

I think I'm just figuring that out
myself.

How can you stand that?

I can't.

I just do.

She was your partner.

No, she wasn't. We worked on the same
team, that's all.

Well, that's the same thing. No, it's
not.

You sound resentful.

She hated me.

Why would she hate you?

I don't know. I was in the way.

Of what?

Of where she wanted to go.

Get out of the way!

What's wrong? What's going on? I came
down the pike.

I've been to the mill. They're after me.

Tell me where you are. We can help you.
Help me!

Bitch.

Guys,

I know what the dreams are about.

Janie isn't Janie.

Okay, what does that mean? I'm having
visions of Janie, but they're not about

her. They're still about the case.

We all noticed that this missing woman
has a lot in common with Janie, right?

Yeah, they're on the same age. They were
both very intelligent, ambitious.

And climbers. How they both made fresh
money.

So Janie represented Jillian. She must.

In the vision, she said that her job
could get her killed.

Not did get her killed, but you did for
Janie.

So Jillian is still alive, but her life
is being threatened. Something related

to her work? Exactly.

In the vision that I just had... While
you end with the shrink?

Yeah. Hmm.

Janie said that she came down the pike
and had been through the mill.

Okay, this is good. That means you're
not messed up by Janie's death. The

visions are still working.

Well, the visions are still working. I'm
not saying anything about myself.

These are very common phrases. I'm
getting way too many hits.

Yeah, but we know they're work -related.

We've got to get the lawyer in here.
It's got to connect to him.

We don't have anything on him.

We won't tell him that.

You haven't been completely honest with
us. That isn't true. We know that

Jillian Sheff's disappearance is
connected to your work.

I want a lawyer.

You are a lawyer. And any lawyer who
represents himself... As a fool for a

client, yeah, we've heard that one.

But I want you to think about this, and
you can think about it as the client or

the lawyer. I don't care.

Every minute that you waste with us
increases the odds that Jillian Sheff

die. And if she dies, what you were
involved in gets a lot more serious. You

didn't take her, but you know who did.
And that puts you in line for the

injection. Not true.

She was kidnapped in D .C. She's outside
the district now.

Every state around here has the death
penalty. All you have to do is tell us.

Of course, it's up to you.

You can take the injection with the
kidnapper or leave him and take it by

himself.

I've talked with each of your agents.

And? Well, Cortez and Scott are
perfectly normal.

When I provoked them, they presented
anger responses, which is appropriate.

Jessica Mastroianni, on the other hand,
showed signs of severe mental stress.

Which indicates good mental health, I
think, if this job didn't stress her

it would be.

There's something wrong with her. Well,
there is something very wrong with her.

She had some sort of clinical episode
during our session. You're mistaken.

No, she became unresponsive, had tremors
in her hands, was almost in a REM

state, but she was wide awake. That's
normal. I've seen it.

Well, you may have seen it, but it is
not normal. You recently quit smoking.

I right?

Then she became very excited and she ran
out the door. Your judgment is

impaired. I am perfectly normal.

Not with that haircut.

I am placing Agent Mastroianni under
indefinite medical leave.

No, you're not.

What's my hair got to do with it anyway?
You're not going to suspend Agent

Mastroianni. I'm not going to let that
happen. It's not in your power to stop

me. It is. It is in my power, and I am,
and I'm in charge here, and this is my

unit, and I'm going to protect it.

Okay? I mean, you do realize that I lost
an agent. I'm very aware of that. A

young, energetic, ambitious, smart.

and she died on my watch. I couldn't
protect her, you see.

So I have to protect them all, so I
can't let you do this to Mastroianni.

Mr. Director, I'm not doing anything.
Don't you dare come in here with your

-hop haircut and your nicotine patch and
take this agent away from me, okay? I'm

not going to let that stand, because I
am bound by my honor and duty.

People need to know that I am there for
them, and I am. You understand?

I am.

Mr. Pollack, you should know that I have
one evaluation left to file. Whose is

that? Yours.

You haven't interviewed me.

Oh, yes, I have.

Okay, Ethan gave it up. Well, at least
he gave up as much as he knows.

Jillian was snatched from his office
like he said, but when he saw the car

pulling away, 911 was his second call.
The first call went to someone else.

It's Easton. I need to talk to him. Who
did he call?

What is it?

Jillian was so valuable to him, Easton
used her to prepare the Chermak case

inside and out without telling Chermak.
And she knows everything about the case,

which is way more than Chermak wanted
her to know.

Every lawyer has staff.

Ha, not like this. She stuck her nose in
everywhere.

She wanted to know everything, even when
it was dangerous to her.

Sound familiar?

Janie. She ended up finding out so much
that when she disappeared, Easton

assumed it was about the case.

He thought the feds grabbed her to get
her to cooperate with them.

Yeah, they wouldn't do that. He says it
happened to him once before, 1998.

So he called Termac, told him the truth,
that Jillian had been taken.

and that she knew all about Chermack's
operation.

We know that Zach's a fender, Trevor.
Nobody knew that.

They couldn't take any chances.

So he put his guys out looking for
Jillian, right along with us.

But they found her first.

Apparently, Chermack owns a crooked cop
or two. So they put out an APB, spotted

the car, and told Chermack.

His people intercepted him.

Okay.

Well, that doesn't give us a dead
kidnapper and Jillian gone. We're close.

Chermak's crew found them.

They're all former CERT militia guys.

We toyed a count for the professional
job of the kidnapper.

So now they've got Jillian. At first she
thinks she's being rescued, but still

she's got to wonder who these guys are.

And she saw what they did to this guy.

They're all speaking Serbian, so she
won't understand.

But that does tell her who they must
work for.

Alia Chermak. If that's true, they would
have killed her by now. Not

necessarily.

Chermak's careful.

Doesn't take unnecessary risk.

He wants to know what she knows about
him before he kills her. I feel like

still alive.

She's only alive if she got away.

She would have called the cop or flagged
down help. Not if she's someplace

remote. Where are the militias on her
tail? She'd lay low.

She'd hide out, maybe all night.

There's some deep woods near where we
found the body. Okay, let's check that

area for reports, see if there's any
anomalies.

Nothing unusual. Gas station reported a
B &E.

That doesn't sound like anything.

I'm pulling up the report.

Hang on.

The cop is saying that the bathroom
window was broken from the inside out.

that's not a B &E. That's only breaking
out. Maybe he got on the stop there and

she got away.

Where is it? Not far.

Georgetown Pike.

Down the pike through the mill.

It intersects Swinksmill Road. What's
there?

Scott's Run Nature Preserve.

Okay, ears open. Eyes peeled.

Remember, these guys have history with
automatic weapons.

So let's avoid shootouts. We don't want
to turn Jillian into a hostage.

Or worse.

All right, nice meeting, but it's over.

I am so glad I ran into you two. I have
been lost for hours.

Leave us alone.

Oh, sure, I get it. I just need some
help with directions. I'll give you back

your privacy.

I am just so bad with half.

I can't help you.

I don't know which way is up.

Do you?

FBI, don't move!

Everything's all right, Jillian.

Looks like we got the whole set.

Without firing shot.

Been enough shooting this week.

Get up.

Get up now!

I usually don't say this without
reservation, but this time, well done.

only, Leah Chermak is out of business.

His lawyer is disbarred and
incarcerated, and the victim is safe,

day all around.

Doesn't help, Janie.

No, but you honored her by doing the
work you lived up to the code. What is

more, you have each received a clean
bill of health from the shrink and are

to continue your duties. Sir, when I was
in with her, I had a vision and she

said... Taken care of. I raised her
clearance level and put her in the know

about your talents.

So everything's cool?

Everything is... everything is cool.

I, uh, myself have been judged, unfit to
command for the

time being, so I'm on medical leave.

What? I'm indefinite. Medical leave for
the time being by order of Dr. Reese.

Sir, we can talk to someone. Is there
anything that we can do?

She's not wrong, Master Honey.

You know,

people get hurt in this job, and every
now and then you lose one.

I don't mean they die.

I mean, they get lost.

They lose themselves.

Physical injury, death even, that's not
the only threat.

The mental threats are worse.

It wears you down.

If someone threatens you, we're trained
to deal with that.

But when they go at your heart, your
soul, you can't shoot back.

And then you ask those questions.

You look for answers.

But sometimes you have to realize the
answer.

There is no answer.
