$645 ,000.

For a two -bedroom house, that's insane.

Tell me about it while you give me three more.

Three,

two, one.

All right.

I can't believe I get up early to do this. Oh, it's good for you.

How's the search going? What's the search?

That one. Yeah, for your mother.

Well, it's not.

The last trace of her is a rental apartment two years ago. Then she

Well, maybe she got married, left the country. Went back to jail.

Go find her.

I'm starting to feel like I'm just not supposed to, Jess.

You don't believe in supposed to.

No. I guess I don't.

So, heard from Colin.

Uh, not for a few weeks, but that's normal for undercover work. I'm cool

it. So you're cool with him shacking up with another woman all the time?

I'm actually the DEA agent. That's part of the assignment.

So you're fine?

Yeah, I'm great.

No twinges?

What twinges?

Well, you know, you haven't started to check out other guys?

Notice them checking you out?

No, I work 17 hours a day.

And I'm a psychic. Who's going to check me out?

Agent Mastriani.

I had to see it myself.

Jack. It suits you.

Isn't there a minimum height requirement, though?

Yeah, uh, Bureau standards aren't that high. You passed the intelligence test.

Oh, good on.

Hey, I'm Nicole Scott.

Hi, Nicole. Right, my partner, Nicole.

This is Agent Jack Bridges. We worked a couple cases together before I was an

actual agent.

Uh -huh.

Well, it is always nice to meet a friend of Jess.

Pleasure. All right, check you out.

What are you doing here?

Training seminar, hostage rescue and procedure.

You're joining HRT? Thinking about it.

So, are you free tonight?

What? Tonight. Are you free? I'd love to catch up. Oh, uh, I can't.

So, how's tomorrow night?

I'm involved with somebody.

That's great.

So, how's tomorrow?

I really just don't think it's a good idea.

I understand.

You don't trust yourself around me.

Well, that ego hasn't shrunk any. I sympathize. Believe me. I hardly even

myself around me.

Okay, you have fun with your hostages.

Well, we finally decided on a recipient.

Morningside Children's Hospital.

Daddy, that's great. They'll be thrilled.

Well, the staff is really impressive.

I think they'll do great things with the money.

They can tell me all about it over lunch. Are we still on? I wouldn't miss

Hey, what are you doing?

What'd you say?

Hey, hey, don't shoot.

Daddy?

Daddy, what's going on?

Talk to me. Are you okay?

Daddy!

We were talking, and then suddenly he was asking somebody not to.

Did you hear any voices other than your father's? I don't know.

How about footsteps?

Did it sound like more than one person was taking your father?

I don't know.

I'm sorry.

Find all the lines coming into the house. Phone, satellite, cable. I want

all routed through here.

You said your father had just come out of a board meeting? Yes, for the Fleming

Charitable Trust. When the easy apps started making so much money, Dad wanted

give something back to the community.

Easy apps?

My father's invention.

It gives you these incredible ads. He's already sold six million units here

alone. Excuse me, what are you doing?

Setting up a phone tap in case he calls in with a ransom demand.

Ransom? With someone as successful as your father, it's a distinct

I understand your parents are in the middle of a divorce.

Yes, they are.

Any particular reason for the split?

My mom had an affair.

Which I still can't understand. When she and Daddy got married, they had

nothing. He gave her all of this.

Do you know the man's name?

George something. We don't really talk about him.

But you do talk.

You called her right after you called the police to report the kidnapping.

They're still married. She should know.

Wizard! Chinese food.

Chinese?

Just a sec.

FBI, who are you?

I'm a dimmer.

Nobody ordered Chinese dimmers. The guy did at the restaurant.

What guy?

I don't know, a regular looking guy, a baseball cap.

Came in and ordered some food to go and he gave me a hundred bucks to deliver it

here. That didn't seem strange.

It was a hundred bucks.

Vic?

I didn't put that there.

Go to the restaurant, give me a better description than a regular looking guy.

It's a ransom note.

What does it say? Is Daddy okay?

Five million dollars by midnight tonight. Further instructions at two

afternoon.

Midnight.

This guy's in one hell of a hurry.

The cashier at the restaurant gave a zip.

She said the guy was average height, brownish hair, and wearing a baseball

And he paid cash, of course. Of course. Hey.

Please. Aren't you supposed to be at a training seminar?

Given the time pressure of the ransom demand in this case, Agent Burgess has

agreed to skip his seminar and lend a hand.

How generous.

I've always wanted to work under A .D. Pollack. Jack's father taught me Latin

Andover. Oh, of course he did.

Where are we on the ransom note? There were no usable prints on the bag or the

note. The note was printed on inexpensive copy paper from an inkjet

most likely a public computer.

Abduction scene? We have Fleming's prints and a partial with no match in

Okay. Did the attendant see anything? Fleming has a monthly card. Went out a

different exit, sir.

So, in this sea of nothingness, where shall we sail?

I would say it's a professional kidnapper for profit. We still have to

family. Oh, the daughter has issues.

23 years old and still gets girly when she says daddy.

Well, she has a pretty strong alibi.

Then there's the ex -wife.

That's what I was thinking. We should talk to her.

Fine. Do it quickly. I want you to take the business angle. Nobody gets that

rich without making enemies.

You need to be back at the Fleming house. Take that two o 'clock call.

Partner?

Hey. Yeah.

What's up?

Nothing. Yeah? I mean, you seem a little out of it ever since you've been

looking for your mom.

Oh, well, finding her is just turning out to be harder than I thought.

But I'm cool. It's all good.

Okay.

It's terrible what happened to Mike.

Terrible. Your lawyer gave us the impression that your divorce hasn't been

Who's this?

How'd you feel when you heard the news?

Devastated. Just because I don't want to be married to the man anymore doesn't

mean I want to seem kidnapped for God's sake.

I understand you're trying to get half of the profits from the easy abs in the

divorce settlement.

Of course.

I saw Mike through some pretty difficult years. I think I deserve an equal share

in his success.

But he's contesting that?

Yes. Because of your infidelity?

Yes.

Money changed him.

According to your daughter, it inspired him to start a charitable trust.

Well, Monica always took her father's side.

As I understand it, if he wins in the divorce settlement, you'll get somewhere

in the neighborhood of a quarter million dollars.

That's right. And if something happens to him before the divorce is final, then

you get everything.

Twelve million, not including the house? Yes.

Yes, I would.

But when Mike was abducted, I was getting a manicure. Monica called me to

me what had happened, and I didn't even wait to get finished. Look.

Celeste Nail Salon, Prospect Street.

Half a dozen people can confirm I was there.

Yeah, we'll check on that alibi, Mrs. Fleming. Go ahead.

And when the kidnappers tell you where they want the ransom delivered, please

let me know.

You want to pay the ransom? Mike and I still have joint accounts.

Believe it or not.

I would like to see him come home safely.

For Monica's sake, if nothing else, the poor girl would be lost without her

father.

So you're still having these visions, huh?

Yeah.

I was standing at a crossroads in the middle of nowhere.

One of the roads was bright and sunny and the other one was dark.

Like a choice of two paths.

Two possible outcomes to the case.

Yeah, but how does that relate to this specific case?

Let's grab some coffee and figure it out.

Or is coffee off limits, too?

Why are you doing this?

Walk into the car? Work in this case.

What, you think that I would use a kidnapping as an excuse to spend time

you, sabotage your relationship, and steal you away from your boyfriend?

Yes. That's arrogant.

Nevertheless. I could be married for all you know.

Are you? Oh, fear. I like it. That wasn't fear.

You lie.

Okay, and stop doing that. What?

Speaking in very short sentences.

Okay. How come? Because it gets a rhythm going. And that's bad? Yes.

Because? Because it creates the impression that we have a rhythm

That we have things in common. That we are on the same wavelength.

Which we are not. We're not. No, we are not. So please, lengthen your sentences.

Okay. All right. Okay.

I don't even like you.

That's too far.

Too far?

Absolutely. Yeah.

Okay, the wife's alibi checks out. She didn't take her husband. All right, what

about the boyfriend?

George Sharkey, 31, works part -time at a hardware store, plays local gigs with

his band.

Musician. Sounds hot.

What would a woman like Elise Fleming see in a loser like that?

Young, easy to dominate, never short of lead in his pencil.

What? I'm not saying that I would do it. I'm just saying.

The guy was at work at the time of the abduction. He's now a kidnapper. So that

leaves us with approximately 112 suspects.

We have competitors, easy ab users with injury suits, and the usual group of

people claiming a successful product was their idea.

So how do we narrow this down?

What about your vision? The crossroads?

I saw one bright road and one dark one.

It was almost like one was the right way to go and one was the wrong one. I just

don't know what that means yet. At 1345, 15 minutes, we'll be getting a call. We

might get some answers that way. In the meantime, let's do a background check.

Everybody grab some names.

Here you go.

Thank you, Thea.

He knows about your visions?

Uh, yeah.

Wow.

You guys got pretty tight on those cases.

We did one assignment where we had to go undercover as husband and wife.

They sure took the Indiana right out of you, didn't they?

What is that supposed to mean?

Santino. Yes, sir. I said what is that supposed to mean? Button it.

Button it? Does this room have two beds? The reservation was specifically for a

king.

And, um, we won't need you to be turning down the bed this evening. We'll take

care of that.

Nothing happened.

But... It's late.

Why do I... Waiting for me?

I don't know.

You're just so slug.

What are you going to do about it?

It's a vision.

But it had to mean something.

Something you're afraid that might develop between Colin and his undercover

wife.

Jess, Colin loves you.

I know.

Double -check the power. Sometimes the connections get loose.

He's early.

Fleming resident.

Is this the FBI?

It is. Who's this?

I'll only say this once.

You're going to transfer $6 ,300 ,518 to an account I will specify by noon

tomorrow. Well, I appreciate the extra time, but why the price go up?

What do you mean?

The note said $5 ,000 ,000.

What now?

Is this some kind of trick?

No, no, no trick. We don't want Fleming hurt.

Noon tomorrow.

Hey, it's me.

We have a new ransom, you man.

Not from the same guy.

Tell me this is a joke.

Sir, the second one has to be a hoax, or the first one was. Unless it's the same

kidnapper trying to collect two ransoms.

It's possible.

The guy was really surprised when I asked about the note.

All right, did he offer any proof of life? No, neither did whoever sent the

note. Well, this has to be what my vision was about.

Two roads, two possible kidnappers.

Right. I don't suppose these roads came with any helpful signs like, you know,

this way to hostage.

Hold on, it's got to be him.

I mean, the first him. Do not mention the second demand.

Fleming, resident.

Write down this account number.

Two, zero.

Hold on.

Who am I talking to? Someone who's going to kill Michael Fleming if you don't

pay $5 million.

I don't even know you have him.

Because he's going to make a statement.

Hello? Mr. Fleming?

This is Michael Fleming.

Tell Monica I'm all right.

Please do what they say.

Happy.

All right, give me the account number.

Okay. Kidnapper A seems legit.

What's up with our other guy? Someone knows about the abduction and they're

trying to collect for themselves.

The amount he's asking for is strange, though.

Why so specific?

Jess? The crossroads again. There was a clothesline over one of the roads and

there was a doll hanging from it. But still two roads, two choices.

So we should still consider both kidnappers?

Unless it's about a different kind of choice, like, I don't know, something

personal. If you're talking about Colin and Jack, there's no choice to me there.

Sure about that?

We may have a break. Phone tip.

Color accurately described what Mr. Fleming was wearing today. Where was the

call from?

Gas station Ashland, Virginia. He said Mr. Fleming left the men's room about 20

minutes ago. Alone?

No, there was another man waiting for him, but he didn't get a good look at

Scott, go.

Jog his memory, take Cortez with you. They might have left some trace. I want

you to take over at the Fleming house. You and Jude Law here will stay on the

motive issue. Who benefits with Michael Fleming gone?

Jude Law.

I get that a lot.

He's hallucinatory.

Let's get to work.

Yes, agent.

Sir, I would never question your orders.

It's funny how when people say that, they always mean the opposite. But I

think I would be more useful here at headquarters rather than out in the

No, you feel you'd be safer here at headquarters. There's a difference.

I have read your file, agent.

You were shot. You had a near -death experience, and you're not cleared for

action. It doesn't say you have to stay in the office all the time. Sir, action

could arise at any moment.

The Fleming House is a very secure location. You will be accompanied by two

armed associates. I want you to go get some fresh air, agent.

The gas station owner saw Michael's face, but before he could get a look at

kidnappers, he had to deal with the kids trying to lift some beer.

Anyone else see the guy?

Nobody was stuck around.

Get anything?

I got plenty of hair, fibers, and prints, but no one would tell which one

kidnappers. Public bathrooms are a forensics nightmare.

Not to mention dangerous for a kidnapper.

He must have had damn good reason to bring Fleming here and risk letting him

seen. Maybe he didn't have a toilet where they were, or it wasn't working.

Or maybe they stopped at the gas station for the same reason anyone else does.

Long road trip. He's keeping Fleming on the move.

All right.

What about Fleming's company?

Who takes over while the boss is gone?

Executive VP, but she checks out.

Besides, there's something about this case that just feels personal, you know?

Yeah.

So how'd you meet him?

Who?

Your boyfriend.

I... I arrested him.

He was undercover on a DOJ operation. What is there with you and law

types? They are weakness, I suppose.

So, is it serious?

I don't know.

What does that mean?

Well, it's complicated.

Oh.

Oh, what?

Nothing. It's just that complicated is usually just code for unhappy.

Look, the state of my relationship is really none of your business.

You're right.

It's not.

Okay.

Check this out.

Michael's will?

It's an addendum dated six months ago.

He's leaving his entire estate to a charitable foundation.

Taking out the previous beneficiary, his daughter.

Monica. Yes, I know.

Well, did you two have a falling out?

Of course not.

Daddy asked me if I'd be all right with the change before he made it.

And you said, sure, Dad, what's a female?

He wants his money to go where it's most needed. I think that's wonderful.

Oh.

Not everyone would feel that way. Not everyone has a role model like my

Well, we know she's Daddy's girl.

Oh, with a mother like that, who would blame her?

Unless it's a show of devotion just to cover her involvement in the kidnapping.

Homer could confirm her alibi.

That's what I love about you. Your innocence.

Okay. No, no.

Preserve that innocence.

It's a rare thing.

Fuck.

Sir, an email just arrived in Mr. Fleming's inbox from one of the

All right, let's hear it. The ransom must be paid an unmarked, non

$100 bill plus a 10, a 5, and 3 -1.

I can test the number two.

You will include no dye packs, transmitters, or other devices. You'll

location an hour before the deadline.

Is that it? There was an attachment. I'm forwarding it to you now.

All right, that's today's paper.

Digital photos can be faked pretty easily, right? Yeah, but you can always

the tambourine and feel it closely enough.

I'm running an algorithm to detect altered pixel codes.

And I'm not finding any. Maybe it's a really good fake. No, nobody's that

The image is real.

Which gives us proof of life from kidnapper A and kidnapper B. So they

the same person or working together.

See, look at this.

Right there on his glasses.

There's a reflection.

Can you clean it up?

No,

I don't see any people.

That would be too easy.

What is that light area?

A steel door.

Big one. Windows in it. Somewhere industrial. A warehouse.

Factory.

In my vision, there was a clothesline and a doll.

Got a half dozen clothing manufacturers in the area.

Any of them near toy companies?

No. You wouldn't keep a hostage in a working factory anyway. Too many people.

All right, so what if we check empty industrial facilities?

We find one, which was once owned by a clothing manufacturer.

And before that, playtown toys. Let's go.

That's our door.

Thanks.

I'll change the report.

Have you found anybody?

No. Okay, we're definitely here.

Got fresh tire tracks.

We missed them by maybe a half an hour.

Based on the tire tracks, the kidnappers are moving Fleming around in a big rig.

Well, it has to be kidnapper B.

I mean, he's the one who sent us the picture of Fleming taken in the factory.

Unless A and B are working together.

Could be the same person. So the midnight deadline on the first ransom

could still be legitimate.

We've got to assume it is.

Which doesn't leave us much time, guys.

What do we know? Well, the ex -wife and her boyfriend both have alibis for the

time of Michael's abduction. So does the daughter, Monica. They could have hired

someone. Yeah, well, that's not cheap.

There was no suspicious activities in any of their bank accounts. And it's not

like this guy didn't have enemies.

Jack, um...

Agent Burgess is still working on background checks.

All right. What about the ransom demands?

The notes, the e -mails, there's got to be more they can tell us. The note was a

dead end as far as the e -mail. Excuse me.

Cortez. Yeah, hi, it's Thea.

Hey.

You sound different.

I'm not.

No, seriously, are you all right?

I'm a little tense. I'm not used to being outside the office.

Oh.

It'll be cool.

Yeah, yeah, no, I know. Listen, I'm calling because I have the source of

-mail. You do? Took me a couple of hours to trace it back through all the

servers, but I found the owner of the account.

And the owner is?

Gary Reynolds.

He and Michael Fleming worked together at the same engineering firm before

Fleming came out with Easy Abs. Reynolds then claimed that Fleming stole the

idea from him.

Where's Michael Fleming?

Michael?

I don't understand.

There's no sign of him. Okay.

Who's your accomplice?

My what? The guy in the truck. What's going on here?

What are you doing with my husband?

We're taking him in for a few questions.

Questions? What questions? It's all right, honey. No, it's not all right.

Listen, I'm calling a lawyer. That's a good idea.

He'll be down at the D .C. field office. Let's go.

Gary, what is going on here?

Where were you around 9 .30 this morning?

At home.

In my workshop.

By yourself?

Yes. Not kidnapping Michael Fleming at gunpoint?

No.

We know you sent the ransom demand.

$6 ,300 ,518.

Your average kidnapper goes for a nice round figure.

So I gotta think that particular amount means something to you.

I shouldn't say anything until my lawyer gets here.

Is that the same lawyer you hired to sue Fleming for stealing your idea?

Not exactly an original scam, Gary.

So far, what, five different people have said they really invented Easy App?

Well...

They're lying. And you're not?

Easy abs was my idea.

Then why did you withdraw the lawsuit?

I didn't have any proof.

It would have been a lot of time and money for nothing.

Especially when you made the whole thing up. I didn't.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to shout.

That's playing the club thing kind of thick.

You okay?

Yeah, the two roads again.

One bright and one dark, and then everything went dark.

It's my own fault, anyway.

What was?

Losing Easy Habs.

My wife kept reminding me to file a patent, but I waited too long.

So you don't blame Michael?

I did, sure.

But that's the past.

There's nothing I can do.

I just don't believe you, Gary.

I'm going to tell you why.

On the papers that your lawyer drew up but never filed, he calculated the exact

damages that Michael would have to pay.

Six million, three hundred thousand, five hundred, and what do you know?

Eighteen damn dollars.

I didn't do it.

I didn't.

Of course he did.

It just doesn't feel right. I can't see Gary Reynolds as a kidnapper. That's

exactly what he wants you to think. The email came from his account. We proved

that no one could jack into it. This is our guy.

It looks that way. Thank you. But I'm telling you, my gut is with Jess. This

does not have the nerve to pull this off. I mean, he couldn't even come at

lawsuit. What about the six million and whatever? That's just a coincidence?

Or a setup.

We already know that somebody's playing games with the two ransom demands.

Maybe this is another tactic. And Gary would be the perfect fall guy. Okay,

let's just say it's not him for a second.

Then who?

Look, either we connect this guy to our evidence or we rule him out.

Keep digging and see what you guys come up with, okay?

Hey, don't be sneaking up on me like that.

I got something for you.

I bought your mom.

I hacked a few records. She's living under a new name, Mary Roberts. Looks

she's trying to start over.

Wow.

You did want to define her, right? Well, yeah.

I did.

It's just, um, when I couldn't, I was almost relieved.

Well, hey, listen, if you want her to stay lost, that's up to you. No, no.

It's good to know that I have a choice, right?

Thanks.

Anytime.

Getting some coffee. Want some?

Yeah, sure.

Are they all right?

My cat knocked over the vase.

This

is

Michael Fleming.

Tell Monica I'm all right. Please do what they say.

I thought the audio lab had already been over this. No, they analyzed the

background noises, which didn't reveal much. So I'm dropping the background to

concentrate on the voices.

Listen to this.

This is Michael Fleming.

Tell Monica... There.

Did you hear it? There's a shift in sound quality between tell and Monica.

Play it again.

This is Michael Fleming.

Tell Monica I'm all right. Wait. It sounds like somebody's losing cell phone

reception. No, that's not phone static. That's a variation in playback quality.

That's a recording. I think it's a couple of recordings spliced together.

the proof of life kidnapper he gave us was faked.

Yes. Whoever put this together had samples of Fleming's voice.

That could be anyone with a VCR. I mean, the guy did his own infomercials.

Advertising his product, not his daughter, I assume.

Sir? Tell Monica I'm all right.

Where did the girl's name come from, agent?

Something more personal, I guess.

A phone message or a home movie.

Let's find out.

Home movies, what do they have to do with anything?

It could be important.

Yes, my dad used to own a video camera. He recorded birthdays and Christmas. And

did he keep any of those tapes?

What are you doing? My father doesn't have much time left.

Well, what do you know? Home videos.

You wouldn't happen to own any editing equipment, would you? What are you

talking about?

Oh, please, be careful. Those are in chronological order.

Oh, great, you messed them up.

I didn't touch the rest of them.

Has anyone else been here today?

No, just my mom.

When?

After I called her this morning and then again about an hour ago. Why?

So the mother goes over to see the daughter at the house.

And steals the home videos of the father, yeah.

And then her new boyfriend tries to lift the father's voice off the tape.

And tries to edit them together into a ransom message.

And then they try to collect five million bucks.

Even though they never kidnapped the father.

Wow. Gotta love family life.

Is that a hint?

About what?

Well, we haven't seen each other in two years and you're already talking about

family life. Don't you think that we should maybe date for a little while

What makes you this way, Burgess? Good teeth, incredible hair. Because there's

confident and then there is psychotic.

Well, here we are. You want to be the good cop or the bad cop?

Isn't it obvious?

Okay, I'll be the good cop.

No, I'm the good one.

Because? I'm from Indiana.

I'm plain spoken.

I have an open heart. Well, I'm blonde, tanned, and confident.

I'll be the good cop.

Fine.

I can be bad.

How bad?

You'll never know.

I had to come back to file an incident report, sir.

Well, the case is over, Agent.

The incident involved me, sir. I drew my weapon.

So... So I thought you'd like to know.

Are you going back to your post now, Agent?

Yes, sir, at my desk.

Your desk?

Yes, where I can be the most useful.

I sent you out on the field.

Yes, and I compromised myself.

I judged that, not you.

I displayed fear.

Or exceptional reaction time.

I heard about it. I might have done the same thing.

It's not true, sir.

Once again, I will remind you, agent, that I am the arbiter of truth around

here, not you. And my truth says that, yes, you may have a hair trigger, but

that is not the worst thing in one of my agents. So get back to your post and do

your job.

Yes, sir. Thank you.

Your boyfriend, George, has some killer audio equipment.

Of course he does.

He's a musician.

He spliced together that recording for you?

I don't know what you mean.

No smoking.

So that was pretty cold, showing up at your daughter's apartment, pretending to

be there for her when all you really wanted were those tapes.

What I want to know is why you needed to fake the tapes at all.

Unless you'd killed him already.

No.

I didn't kill him.

Maybe. But if he ends up dead after all this?

You will be the one to wear it.

I'm going to need a deal.

No promises.

Well, then you get nothing. That's not wise. We don't need you. Your

convenience. Conveniences don't get deals.

What if you really didn't kill him? I didn't. Then you have nothing to lose in

telling us what you did do. But you're going to have to do it now because we're

running out of time.

I didn't even kidnap him.

I just took advantage of it.

How?

When I heard they'd taken him, I sent my own note.

Your boyfriend went to the Chinese place and... Staple the note to the bag.

Why would you do this? He's your husband.

Why would anybody do anything?

Money.

You get half of everything.

I get nothing.

What would you have done?

Not this.

I wouldn't waste any more time judging the young lady.

The deadline they gave you is five hours away.

Less than two hours, people. Where are we on Gary Reynolds?

That email is the only solid piece of evidence tied him to the kidnapping.

Which is still more than we have on anybody else.

Maybe I was wrong. Maybe he does have the gun.

Yeah, well, if someone's driving Fleming around in a truck, we've got to find

out who Ronald was working with.

Fred. His lawyer's making that tough, sir. Oh, then I start prepping the

job. If Fleming is still alive, that's our last chance we've got to save him.

Did I mention two hours?

Hey, you. It's me.

I know that you're not home, and you probably can't even check your messages,

but...

I just wish I could talk to you.

I miss you.

I guess that's all I wanted to say.

Bye.

Cappuccino?

Uh, thanks.

We haven't talked in weeks.

You don't have to explain.

I mean, the thing is, I knew what Colin's life was like before we got

It's got to be hard.

That doesn't mean that you give up.

I mean, no relationship is easy all the time.

But it shouldn't be hard all the time either.

Well, it isn't. Especially not when we're actually together.

Well,

maybe you just need him.

Thank you.

Yes.

Maybe you don't.

This is Agent Segalis with the FBI.

Is the money ready?

Yes, just tell us where you want it. 8th Street Market, please. We have a bag at

the southeast entrance at exactly 12 o 'clock.

That's smart. Busy public place.

If I see a single police officer or FBI agent, I kill my hostage.

The voice alteration is bugging me.

Yeah, it is kind of irritating.

I mean, why bother unless he's afraid we'll recognize his voice?

Well, let's see if he's right.

It's a woman.

I

don't

know. Love? Concern? Concern?

Why did you kidnap Michael Fleming?

Fleming stole the only idea my husband ever had in his whole sad, sorry life.

And he made millions with it. And do you know what my husband did?

Nothing.

He wouldn't even stand up for himself.

Look, you must be in touch with whoever is keeping Fleming. Of course I am.

I call every two hours.

If I miss a call, he killed Fleming. You really don't want to step this up to

murder. What I want is my money and safe passage out of the country.

Well, that is never going to happen.

Well, then I don't make the call.

Now you make a deal with me or Michael Fleming dies in 30 minutes.

Suzanne? No, no, no way.

She would never do that. Deal with it later, Gary.

Look, I need your help.

Your wife has an accomplice who's driving Fleming around in a large truck.

you know who that might be? No, we don't know anyone who... Come on.

You do.

Suzanne has a cousin she hasn't spoken to in years.

I think he's a truck driver.

What's his name?

Russ Corcoran. He has a Class A commercial driver's license, works for a

company in Maryland called Franklin & Sons. If he's using one of their trucks,

maybe they can track him. No, it's too low rent. They don't have GPS.

Well, we can at least put a bolo out on trucks with that logo.

Done. We need to move faster than that, guys. Fleming's running out of time.

Anything else from your vision set?

There was the clothesline, the doll. Which led us to the factory. I saw one

bright road and one dark.

Two kidnappers, one real, one fake.

The one thing that never changes is the setting, the crossroads. You might be

right about that. I mean, that could just be an emotional thing.

Maybe they're trying to tell us where to find the truck.

Crossroads truck stop and cafe.

What do you know?

Enter. Yes, ma 'am.

I got Fleming. Great work. Get up.

Looks like you don't get rich today. And tomorrow doesn't look too good either.

Let's go.

Daddy!

Are you all right? Did they hurt you?

No. I'm fine.

I missed you so much.

Take these handcuffs off me.

Because? I didn't kidnap anyone.

Oh, I know.

That's why we're charging you with extortion. Either way, you get life.

semantics, really.

Get her out of here.

So I guess that's it.

And I'll get back to whatever else it is we have going on in our lives.

If you're trying to ask me what I'm going to do about my mom, just ask.

Okay.

What are you going to do about your mom?

I don't know.

Having her back in my life would be kind of out of the box.

Well, that's why you wanted to find her. I know.

Couldn't have done it without Antonio, though.

Not true, but I'll take it.

So.

So?

I don't know what to do.

Yeah, you do.

I was not afraid. I was in shock. You pulled your weapon. Out of shock, not

fear. But... But what?

Clearly, this shows I shouldn't be in the field. Why? Because you're quick on

the draw? Because I misjudged. So, staying out of the field permanently is

solution? It's only responsible for me to accept my limitations, sir.

Acceptance is one option, agent. Fighting your way through your fear is

Listen.

I personally think you're capable of either. But in this case, unusually,

think does not matter. So...

This is all on you.

As you were, Agent.

Yes, sir.

Oh, hey.

Thought I left, didn't you?

A girl can dream.

Sure. But can't you wake up without me?

Let me think about that one.

Yes.

Funny.

Hey, so this guy, what is it, Ronnie?

Colin. Colin, right.

Does he realize what he's got?

Yeah.

I think.

Sure.

Well, we're good then.

I'm in New York.

Manhattan office.

What am I supposed to do about that?

I don't know.

People change.

Lives change. Hello?

Carla Chambers? Yes.

Who's this?

It's me, Mom.

Your daughter, Nicole.
