You always cut it close, don't you?

Hate to leave the sunny skies.

You think I have time to grab a paper?

Three minutes.

You're an angel, Paula. Thanks.

His name is Patrick Kent.
43, married, no children.

Vice President of N.J. Ridder
& Associates investment banking firm.

He checked in for a flight headed home
to New York.

Got his boarding pass,
wandered off, and never came back.

We pulled his bags off the plane.
People were pretty freaked out.

Did you notice anything unusual
about his behavior?

No. He was late, as always.

- But friendly.
- So you saw him quite a bit?

Twice a month, like clockwork.

And nothing like this
ever happened before?

No.

Jack.

Excuse me a sec.

Here are the bags he checked.

Three-day business trip,
two empty suitcases.

Maybe he never intended
on going to New York.

Maybe he just wanted it to look that way.

So what we have here is Patrick Kent...

son-in-law of a wealthy
New York financier.

I was expecting a ransom note.
He's been missing for 40 hours.

So why are we even on this case?

I mean, adult male,
free to come and go as he pleases.

Other than a couple of empty suitcases,
there's no sign of foul play.

Like I said, we have the missing son-in-law
of a wealthy New York financier.

And when Noah Ridder calls,
we mere mortals jump.

- Where are we with this?
- Danny just checked in.

Kent's got a company car
that he keeps out there.

He usually takes it to the airport.
Haven't located it yet.

- 5:00 a.m. Danny's up early.
- That's assuming he went to bed.

Where are we with Kent's cell phone?

Records show
he received a call at 1:55 p.m...

three minutes after he checked in...

five minutes before last call for boarding.

We traced the call to a conference room
in his New York office.

Whatever happened on that call
stopped him from getting on that plane.

So far, no one in his office
is copping to making the call.

I'll head there and see what I can find out.

Great.

Martin, you're on your way to San Diego
to liaise with Danny.

Don't forget your surf gear.

- Should we send a referee?
- No.

Let them duke it out.

By the way, your wife called. Twice.

Thanks.

I don't understand.
If you're here, who's looking for him?

We have two agents
on the ground in San Diego.

They'll coordinate
with the FBI office there.

How often did your husband
travel to California?

Once a month, for about a week each time.

Father sent him to open
the San Diego office five years ago.

Tell me about the last time
you saw your husband.

It was the morning he left for San Diego.

We had a fight. Well, not a fight exactly.

- Is the car here yet?
- In a big hurry to leave?

Traffic's backed up on the Van Wyck.

I don't wanna miss the flight.

Between your problems at the office
and your California trips...

it seems like you're never here.

- You know, I'm doing the best I can.
- I've heard that before.

What do you want from me, Katherine?

I gotta go. I'll be back soon.

I spoke with Father.

He's taking you off the San Diego account.

He agrees it would be better
if you spent more time in New York.

You always call your father
to help with your marital problems?

- How long you been married?
- Fifteen years.

- When did it get strained?
- I don't know.

I didn't mark the day on a calendar.

How would you describe your husband?

He was very focused on work,
on the company.

He was under a lot of pressure lately.

And how does he get on with your father?

Fine. Why?

Marital stress, trouble at work.
He might have just run off.

In which case, it's not my problem.

If he did, I would like to
at least know that he's safe.

Do you think he's in some kind of danger?

I don't know. I don't know what to think.

Your boss received a call
from this room at 4:55 on Friday.

Do you have any idea
who might've made that call?

No. I was out of here by 4:00.

Patrick usually lets me leave early
on Fridays.

Sounds like a good boss.

Yeah. He's not like
the rest of these bastards.

Greedy, lying, misogynistic.

Good combination.

Yeah. Well, the fish rots from the head.

So how does Patrick survive here?

I'm not sure he has been.

The night before he left for San Diego...

I came in here
with some papers for him to sign.

- I'm sorry, I didn't mean to....
- No, it's okay.

Sign.

You work too hard.

The work isn't the hard part.

Trying to do the right thing,
that's the hard part.

What did he mean by
doing the right thing?

I don't know.

My guess is, he feels trapped here.

Do you think he wanted to quit?

Even if he did, it wouldn't be that easy.

Look who he's married to.

Fitzy, let me get that for you.

How was your flight?

Jack says I have to be nicer to you.

You guys sure go out of your way
to make me feel welcome.

We know our department's small potatoes
for a guy like you.

You are off to bigger and better.

I see you got the memo.

- Are we gonna work together, or not?
- I don't know. Are we?

Let's start at the bar.

Yeah, sure.

Came in every month or so.
Just saw him a couple days ago.

- Boozer?
- No.

Club soda, lime. Except last time.

He comes in, looks rattled.
Orders a double Jack, neat.

Big tipper. That day included.

Did he say what he was upset about?

Didn't say much at all. He never did.

Anything else?

There was this guy that day.

He kept looking over at him,
like he was interested in him.

Thought it was a love thing.

- Did they talk?
- No.

But I remember as soon as your guy left,
the other guy got up and followed him.

What'd he look like?

Tall, mustache.

But that's really about all
that I can remember. Are we all done?

We're good.

Problems at home and work,
starts hitting the bottle, doesn't stop.

Think he's passed out
somewhere in Tijuana?

Stranger things have happened, my man.

Sounds to me like his biggest problem
was that someone was following him.

I can't begin to tell you
how concerned we all are.

Patrick was like a son to me.

Did you and Patrick work together closely?

For 13 years.

I liked him the first time
Katherine brought him home.

He had street smarts.

Not like all the other silver spoons
that she went out with.

Did you speak to him
the day he disappeared?

I usually e-mail Patrick when he's away.

I hadn't spoken to him for a few days.

Do you have any idea who might've made
that phone call from the conference room?

No, as my people told you,
it could have been anybody.

Katherine seemed to think
that he was under a great deal of pressure.

We've been threatened
with a trivial lawsuit...

by some embittered investors.

Patrick was handling the negotiations.

Your fraudulent policies
have wiped out our life savings.

We are tired of being ripped off.

Sir, I understand. I wanna help.

How? With your fat bonuses?
Your fat stock options?

You bled us dry.
Now it's your turn to bleed.

It's a lousy job,
but Patrick was the best man for it.

Why is that?

He's honest. People trust him.

We'd like a list
of those shareholders, please.

Why?

Because there were
a lot of angry investors.

And your son-in-law
was right in the line of fire.

Anything you need.

We also need to look at his files.

That I'm gonna have to clear
with our attorneys.

Of course you do.

He doesn't want us on this.

So who are we getting pressure from?

When I got the call from upstairs,
I thought it was Ridder.

His daughter's got plenty of connections.
Maybe it's her.

But she's a daddy's girl.
For something like this...

she'd have him doing the pushing.

Unless she knows
Daddy doesn't want him found.

Not a lot of TLC poured into this place.

These corporate apartments
are always a bit depressing.

A bottle of mustard, a box of baking soda.

That's thin, even for a bachelor pad.

The manager said
he hasn't seen him in months.

This guy is either living off a steady diet
of takeout and Fluff'n Fold, or he's--

Take a look at this.

Check out the date.

Let's give Jack a call.

The boys just called from San Diego.

Patrick hasn't lived
in that apartment for months.

There's no hotel charges
on his credit card statements.

Mr. Brooks Brothers
is not living out of his car.

That's it. He's only Mr. Brooks Brothers
on the East Coast.

In New York,
he's Nobu, Ralph Lauren, Tiffany's.

But in San Diego,
it's Denny's and discount outlets.

Two lives.

This is interesting, though.

He spent $1,000 at a household
appliance store two weeks ago.

- In San Diego?
- Yeah.

Why do you need a washer-dryer
for a place you never go to?

Check out the delivery address.

Somewhere far away,
Martha Stewart weeps.

Looks like our boy Patrick
went to the mattresses.

Hi. Sorry to bother you.
We're with the FBI.

You seen this man before?

Yes.

This is my husband.

I don't understand.
Who reported him missing?

We got a call from his office.

Nobody called me.

What happened to him? Is he in trouble?

We don't know.

Sweetheart, can you go back
to your room, please?

How long you been married?

Two years.

And you met....

I was waiting tables at the Baja Cantina.

I'd just moved here from Oklahoma.

Why is this important?

The more we know about your husband,
the better the chances that we'll find him.

And what did he do for a living?

I thought you spoke to his office.

When was the last time that you saw him?

It was Friday morning.

He was supposed to stay
until Monday, like always...

but he said
he had to get back to New York.

Bacon order coming up, little man.

Extra crispy.

Can I go outside
and play with my new glove?

Not until you finish your breakfast.

No, it's okay. I'll keep it warm for you.

You spoil him.

And me.

You make it easy.

Why do you have to leave so early?

I'll be back before you know it.

Are you okay?

You've been quiet lately.
Something wrong?

Not a thing in the world.

I always ask him
to share his problems with me...

but he just says
he doesn't want me to worry.

He had two empty suitcases
with him on the plane.

Do you have any idea why?

Yeah. He was starting to move
more of his clothes here.

I told him that our situation
had to change.

He had to spend more time here,
or we had to move with him to New York.

- So he committed to coming here?
- Yeah.

He even started a restaurant
with my brother.

He just said
he had to go back to New York...

to finish some things with work.

And by Christmas,
everything will be settled.

- Did he say what needed to be finished?
- No.

'Cause he doesn't talk to me
about his work.

But I think it was getting serious...

because after he left,
a man showed up with a package.

And he said that if he didn't deliver it
to Patrick, he would lose his job.

But I told him Patrick had already left
for the airport.

- Have you ever seen this man before?
- No.

What did he look like?

Forties...

average-looking guy.

Mustache?

Could be. I don't remember.

- Did he give a name?
- No.

But I saw his car. It was a green pickup.

Jack wants us to check out her brother.

What does he say
about the two guys following Patrick?

They're on it.
He's checking out the shareholders.

I dropped the ball on that work thing.

Don't worry about it.
It went right over her head. Trust me.

This Kent guy is moving his stuff out here,
starting a restaurant with her brother.

Everything says
he's leaving the cold for the warm.

And all of a sudden
he leaves them both behind?

You know that guy
following him at the airport?

Could be the same guy
coming around here.

- An angry shareholder?
- Yeah.

There's about 20,000 of them.

Imagine that. Keeping two wives
in the dark for that long.

I know. I can't date two women
for a month without blowing my cover.

I know some women that can.

Women are better liars than men.
It's proven.

What if she did know,
and she's just playing us?

- What do we get from telling her?
- I want to see her reaction.

You think she already knows.

On some level.
I just want to see how deep.

How long?

About two years.

- And there's a child?
- Stepson.

He said he didn't want any children.

Does she know about me?

No.

Is there a possibility
that he was going to run off with her?

It's hard to tell at this point.

Is there anything in his behavior
that you can think of...

that makes sense now?

He was unhappy.

But I never imagined anything like this.

What did you imagine?

I don't know.

To be honest with you,
I haven't thought about it until now.

What about your father?

What about him?

- Would he have any idea?
- No. Why would he?

People in his position tend to know
what's going on around them...

especially when it concerns
their employees.

If my father did know,
he would have told me.

Right.

What do you think?

She's hiding something.
Hard to tell with the drinking, but....

Two lives. Two wives.
Twice as many people to piss off.

Yeah. A quick trip
to the divorce lawyer would fix that.

What's your point?
This guy's not worth finding?

This is a guy
who has run from all his obligations.

He's lied to everybody he knows.

Or he's a middle-class guy,
marries a tycoon's daughter...

realizes he made a pact with the devil,
and he can't escape.

When was the last time that you saw him?

I haven't seen Patrick in over a week.
I've been pretty busy around here.

A week? Are you sure about that?

Because your workers said that Patrick
was here with you a couple of days ago.

So I got a bad memory. I'm sorry.
I got a lot on my mind.

I got a lot on my mind.

So why don't you sit down and relax,
and attempt to come clean with us?

I think it might make you feel better.

They said you guys were having a fight.
What was the deal?

We weren't fighting.
I was just trying to protect him.

This guy came in.

He said he was a restaurant inspector.
He had an ID badge.

What did he ask you?

It was normal at first,
until he starts asking questions.

- What'd you tell him?
- Nothing.

I said you were my silent partner.
That's it.

- Did he ask about Amalia and Robert?
- No, it wasn't like that.

What's going on with you?
You in some kind of trouble?

He wouldn't tell me, and I didn't push.

Why wouldn't you tell us this
at the beginning?

He did right by my sister, okay?
And Robert.

- And you.
- And me.

What's the deal with this place?
What's in it for Patrick?

He lent me the money. He said
he wasn't going to get too involved.

I couldn't shut him up after that.
He got really into it.

He said he wanted to work here
after he moved out.

I guess Wall Street
ain't doing too well these days.

This inspector, what did he look like?

Tall, mustache, 40, 45.

- Do you mind?
- Go ahead.

Tall, mustache?
Sounds like the guy at the airport.

- He's not a restaurant inspector.
- Or an angry investor.

No. Whoever this guy is, he's serious.

I did call. I told you, I got hung up.

No.

I'm not ignoring you, okay?

You're the one
who seems to not want to work this out.

What are you doing?

Trying to figure out
who was following our Prince Charming.

Don't judge the guy.
Sounds like he was really trapped.

It's called divorce.
What is with you people?

You're taking it a little personally.

You go to a lawyer,
he draws up the papers.

You sign them,
you swallow your regret and you move on.

And, of course,
you're speaking from experience.

Fine. Do whatever you want.

I was married once. When I was 18.

Really?

It was red-hot for the first two weeks,
and ice-cold the last four months.

At least you understand commitment.

Thanks.

What?

I ran the passenger manifests...

on all Kent's JFK-San Diego flights
in the last year.

On the last five,
the same name appears on each flight.

Inbound and outbound. Thomas Shannon.

You run him?

Retired Secret Service.

They normally go
into private security work.

- Corporate?
- Let's see.

N.J. Ridder & Associates.

- Security Department, please.
-I'll transfer you.

-Security.
- Thomas Shannon, please.

Mr. Shannon does not work
out of this office.

But I can take a message.

No, thank you.

Why was Noah Ridder
having his son-in-law followed?

Why didn't you tell me that
you were having your son-in-law followed?

Patrick is married to my daughter.

And he is the vice president
of my company.

You don't just throw accusations around
unless you can prove them.

So why have him followed
in the first place?

Unexplained absences.

Meetings with unknown associates.

We thought it best to take a deeper look.

But he would've recognized
your own security personnel.

So you hired Mr. Shannon.

That's right.

What did you find?

I followed Patrick for two months,
mostly in the San Diego area.

He had a series of clandestine meetings
with an individual.

And what did you suspect?

That he might be selling our research
to the competition.

Our investigation was not complete
when he went missing.

Mr. Shannon, do you drive
a green pickup truck?

No.

Did you speak to his wife
at the San Diego apartment...

on the day he disappeared?

No. As soon as he left his place,
I tailed him to the airport.

So that was you at the bar?

He had a couple of drinks,
stayed there about half an hour.

Thanks a lot.

And where did he go after the bar?

He checked in, went to buy a newspaper.

I didn't want to draw attention,
so I boarded the plane.

I figured he would, too.
That's the last I ever saw of him.

Right.

So did you tell Katherine
about the second wife?

How do you tell your daughter
a thing like that?

How could you not?

I wanted to have all the information first,
before I spoke to her.

Did you find out who made that call
from the conference room?

I'm sorry, not yet.

I'm getting the distinct impression
you don't want us to find your son-in-law.

If the accusations are gonna start,
then we're done here.

If you impede this investigation again
in any way...

there will be a lot more than accusations
flying your way.

Understood?

He's afraid.
He thinks we're onto something.

I'm sure he's quaking in his boots.
We got nothing on him.

That's gonna change.

Viv, I want to use your resources
at the SEC...

and get everything on him.

You really think Ridder
was trying to off his own son-in-law?

It isn't the first time a powerful man...

tried to get rid of someone
standing in his way.

If Shannon was telling the truth
about the green pickup...

there is a second guy following him.

Twice the reason to chuck it all.
The walls were caving in, he took off.

Why would he run away from San Diego...

from the one thing
that was working in his life?

No, it's not him.

It's been three days.
Why can't I know what's happening?

- Robert, let's go for a walk on the beach.
- Okay.

Let's sit.

Your husband Patrick is legally married
to a woman who lives in New York.

What?

What are you talking about?

They've been married for 15 years.

- In New York?
- Yeah.

Who is it?

I can't share that information
with you right now.

He's kept two separate lives.
One on each coast.

It's a lie.

I don't believe it.

I'm sorry. I wish it was, but....

I want to be alone.

This glove's a real beaut.

You know what you need to do?

You need to put a ball inside, wrap it up...

put it under your mattress and sleep on it.

It'll break it in.

Patrick does that for me.

Patrick's a smart guy.

You miss him?

You know what I did when I was your age
and I missed someone?

What?

I used to lay in my bed at night,
and I used to look out the window.

And I'd stare up at the sky...

and I would name each of the stars
after someone that I missed.

So whenever I felt lonely...

I'd look up at the sky and I'd see Daniella,
Erica, and Andrea right there.

It made it a little better.

- How'd she take it?
- She had no idea.

How is he doing?

He's waiting for that loser to come back.

It's not right, Martin.

To show up one week in a month...

Iet a kid like that love you,
and then abandon him.

We don't know he abandoned anyone.

He knew he could never come through
for him.

There's a lot of fathers
who are around all the time...

that don't pay any attention to their kids.

You know what the worst part is?

He's gonna figure out
that Patrick was a fraud.

What do you think that's gonna do to him?

We contacted the SEC because we think
the class-action lawsuit...

has something to do
with Patrick Kent's disappearance.

The shareholders might be up in arms...

but if Ridder knew
what Patrick Kent was really up to...

that could cause some ire.

- Why is that?
- Because Patrick Kent came to us.

He suspected
there were SEC violations at R&A.

So he was a whistle-blower?

He was trying to be. I met with him
at a restaurant in San Diego...

The Buoy.

You'll get full immunity
in exchange for your testimony.

And no one innocent gets screwed.

Absolutely.

What can you show me?

This is just the beginning.
The rest comes later.

This is good. It's very good.

Okay. Two things.

First, the due diligence part.
I need you to know this will not be easy.

The life you've known for the past 20 years
won't be yours anymore.

You'll lose friends, money, maybe more.
Is that clear?

And the second?

Why are you doing this?

Because it's easier.

Easier than what?

Than waking up every morning
knowing your whole day is gonna be a lie.

He was different.

Most of these guys, we have to hold a gun
to their heads, threaten fines, prison time.

But he volunteered.

Truth is,
without him we don't have a case.

We were supposed to meet
the day after his disappearance...

to give me the rest of the documents.

That's probably why
he was coming home early.

Can I see what you have?

The wild thing is, we just figured out...

Ridder had it rigged so Patrick
would take the fall for the lawsuit.

So that's why he blew the whistle?
Tit for tat.

No. Patrick never knew about it.

I guess he just
wanted to do the right thing.

Whistle-blowing.
That's plenty of motive for Noah Ridder.

- What do you think, Viv?
- Go sweat Shannon.

He'll never roll over.
But I think Katherine might. Listen to this.

Voicemail left on Patrick's cell phone.
Wife number one.

- From the conference room?
- No.

It was left two days
after Patrick disappeared.

Patrick, I'm going out ofmy mind.
I'm so sorry about all this.

She's been drinking.

The way he told me, that bastard,
calling me to his office like an employee.

Shannon?

I should've taken your side.
I hate him so much.

Her father.

I would've forgiven you if you'd told me.

If you'd only told me.

- She's been lying to us all along.
- She's been protecting her father.

But from what?

You're a liar, Katherine.

You've been lying to us
from the beginning.

You lied about Patrick's second wife
in San Diego.

You lied about the whistle-blowing,
and you're lying to us again.

- I'm not.
- I think you are.

If you want us to find your husband,
we need your help.

You have to tell us what you know.

Patrick came to me a few months ago...

and he thought that there was fraud
in the company...

and that Father was behind it.

I told him to let it go, but he wouldn't.

So you told your father.

I thought that they could work it out.

You knew your father
was having him followed?

Not until that day...

when he...

summoned me to his office
and put that man...

Shannon on the speakerphone...

and he told me everything.

It was you who called Patrick
from the conference room...

the day he disappeared, wasn't it?

I was so upset.

I know everything.
I know about your California whore.

Katherine, calm down.

Calm down?

You have been lying to me for two years.

Every day for two years.
How could you do this to me, to Father?

Why don't you leave him out of this
for once?

He gave you everything that you have.

Except you. I never got you.

I'm sorry, Katherine.
I didn't want it to end this way.

And now you're afraid
your father had him killed.

I don't know.

I just wanted another chance.

Stay away from me.

Katherine, don't listen to them.

Listen to me, you son of a bitch.

Your own daughter thinks you're involved
with your son-in-law's disappearance.

- Where's Patrick?
- Katherine, you come with me.

Get him out of here.

She wants nothing to do with you.

- Ridder passed the polygraph.
- You don't look surprised.

I don't think he killed him.
I think he wanted to.

That's why he told Katherine about
the second wife. He was preparing her.

But then she called,
and Kent bolted out of the airport.

But what I don't get is why
he didn't sprint back to the second wife.

Listen to this.

That class-action suit,
there's 37 plaintiffs who live in San Diego.

But only one drives a green pickup.

The second guy...

the one who came looking for Kent
on the day that he disappeared...

the San Diego wife said
that he was driving a green pickup.

Arlin Tompkins? FBI.

I lost everything.

My whole life savings
because of those Ridder guys.

Slow down.

How did you meet Patrick Kent?

At a shareholder meeting in New York.

A bunch of us were trying
to get a class-action suit together.

- And you wanted to kill him.
- No.

He was different
from the rest of the R&A guys.

He listened to me. He said he'd help.

Why'd you go to his house
the day he disappeared?

I hadn't heard from him for a few weeks.
I was getting frustrated.

The lady there said
he had gone to the airport.

But the weird thing is,
as I was walking in, he was walking out.

Mr. Kent, is there any progress
in my case?

I'll call you later. I'm late for a meeting.

- You said that three weeks ago.
- Let go of me.

You said you'd help.

That was it? You just watched him go?

No, I was pissed.

I got in my car and I followed him
when he drove away from the airport.

I was trying to get him to pull over.

He started driving faster.
He was pushing it.

We were coming up on a bridge.

I backed off.

He was going too fast.

He didn't have time to correct.

And?

He skidded out, the truck flipped,
and it went into the water.

There was nothing I could do.

His car just sank right to the bottom.

You ever hear of calling 911?

I'd been drinking.

Who was gonna believe me?

I panicked, and I left.

He was the only one who listened to me,
who cared about the truth.

Let's go see this bridge. Come on.

Oh, my God.

It's okay.

Did they find him?

The divers are working on it now.

It's Patrick's car.

Do you think she told him the truth?

I don't know.

You think she should?

I'm thinking the kid doesn't need to know.

A plane is not supposed to be in the sky.
It's not natural.

And neither was that flight attendant,
but you weren't afraid of her.

If it isn't the bronze boys.

Don't start.

- Where's Jack?
- In his office.

Goldin just called me from the SEC.

He got a package
this morning from Patrick Kent.

Sent from the airport
on the day he disappeared.

- Enough to put Ridder away?
- For a long time.

How'd it go with Mr. Fitzgerald?

Good. He took a little breaking in,
but he's a good guy.

I need you to sign this for me.

Did the divers find the body?

Nope. The locals think
the current carried it away.

Pretty smart guy, Patrick Kent.

To be able to pull off this whole
double-life business and not get caught.

Seems to me like he'd have an escape plan
in case something went wrong.

It does, doesn't it?

What's the name of the witness
who saw Patrick drive off the bridge?

Tompkins. Arlin Tompkins.

Tompkins. Right.

Patrick was the one person
who was helping him.

Tompkins might feel
like he owed him a favor.

And taking the hit
for leaving the scene of an accident...

isn't the hardest way
to pay someone back.

That's pretty smart.
If that's what happened.

So you wouldn't be shocked
if Amalia and Robert moved in six months.

No.

But then again,
it was probably the current.

Probably.
