Sam? Sam?

It's Mom.

It's okay, baby. I'm going to bring you home.

I did what you said. I didn't call the police.

It's 18,000.

It's the most I could get.

I can fix this, please. I just need more time. Don't move.

No, no, no, no, no, no, stop!

Stop!

No!

No, Sam!

No, no, no, no, stop!

Sam!

No!

No!

Mom,

no, no, no, no, no. You know I... I don't like making a big deal about my

birthdays. I don't want presents.

I don't want people staring at me while I blow out birthday candles. I just

don't. I promise it'll just be a small get-together. Think of it as a gift

since we've been getting along better.

Look, at least we have from my end. I promise it'll be painless.

All right, Mom.

A small get-together.

Great. Saturday at my house, you can invite Noah if you want.

Wait.

Who told you about Noah?

Was it James?

I am going to kick his ass. Don't you dare hurt James. He's making the

playlist. Mom, I gotta go. I'm meeting someone.

It's Noah, isn't it? I don't like that boy, even in high school.

Thank you.

Nice outfit.

You didn't say that this was a fancy place.

I didn't say it was a Zumba class either.

You know what? I was half asleep when you texted me and I have no problem

going back to that.

You're driving me home.

Let me guess.

She was hotter than you.

So you got nervous, and you started bragging to try to impress her.

And she got bored and left, obviously, right around the time you mentioned

being All-State in football two years in a row. Three years in a row. It was

baseball.

But that wasn't it.

It was a home brewery then, wasn't it?

Sorry, Bishop, but girls don't want to try beer from your basement. I don't

know how many times I've told you that.

Some girls want to drink my beer from my basement.

And it wasn't a date.

I was having dinner with my father.

Well, we ordered dinner, and then he got up and walked out. He's really good at

that.

What happened?

Well, I had the audacity to mention my brother in all these years

since Mark was taken.

And I still can't say his name.

Like, if we don't say it, it never happened.

It didn't exist.

You know, that funeral for him is crazy.

That's insane.

It's insane.

Well, if it makes you feel any better, my mom can't stop talking about what

happened to me on national TV.

Yeah.

So...

It's really fun.

So fun.

Good times, for sure.

Well, I guess you can't pick your family.

I'll drink to that, friend.

They don't make protein shakes.

Well, they should.

They should.

I know you're in full spandex.

It's your fault. But you look really...

It's good to see you.

Hold on.

Oh, it's Frank.

Guess what? We got a case.

We gotta go.

Excuse me.

Yes, ma'am. Um, can we just get the check for this, and can we get a large

black coffee to go?

All right, all right. We're good.

Bad enough there, but...

Okay, here's what we got.

Samantha Dillon, 16 years old, from Green Bay, Wisconsin.

She was abducted yesterday after school. Her mother, Nancy, got the ransom call

at 4 p.m.

Kidnappers told her that if she called the police, they'd kill Samantha.

Nancy, in her infinite wisdom, decides to drop off the money herself.

Drop off went south.

Kidnapper took the money and the girl.

It never goes well when people try to fly solo.

No. She was scared. She panicked. Which is why it's a bad idea.

Did she see the kidnapper?

Kidnapper was masked, but she got a look at the car. It was a black sedan.

Fortunately, she didn't get a plate.

Security cameras, tire marks.

No camera, but tire mark is generic.

The ransom call came from Samantha's cell. The phone went dark right after

that. All right, we need a timeline.

Where did Samantha go between the time she left school?

And when Nancy got the ransom demand.

We put those two together, we've got a good start. Let's go.

Long night?

You okay to drive you?

Yeah.

Is that a problem?

Well, the most disciplined guy I know is suddenly getting sloppy.

I had one too many.

What's going on, Jeff?

I had one bad night. Something's got to be going on.

There's something else.

I didn't even want to tell you this, but the Bureau's opening up an EFI on Peter

Gomes from the Tiger abduction case.

Wait a minute.

They're taking down a kidnapper.

They opened an excessive force inquiry for that?

For putting him in the ICU.

The way he put a gun to Kick's head.

You remember that? I'm not done with you. Come here.

Listen to me.

I'm getting enough scrutiny from the Bureau because we have Kick on the team.

I can't keep my eye on her if I gotta keep my eye on you. So this is about you

covering your own ass. No, this is about me protecting the team.

Well, sir, you don't have to keep an eye on me.

My phone rang, and Sam's name came up. But when I answered, it was a man.

He said I had six hours to come up with $25,000.

or he was going to kill Sam.

And I... I should have called the police, I know, but I just panicked.

If someone had your baby, what would you do?

Probably... the same thing you did.

You were under tremendous pressure.

All I could come up with that fast was $18,000.

Now, Nancy...

Have you received any threats lately? Can you think of anyone who might want

to hurt you? Or Sam?

I work in payroll, so my name's on everyone's check. People love me.

Sam reminds me of me at that age.

Independent, a little headstrong.

Well, the last few months have been hell.

She's been cutting class, sneaking out with her friend Emily. I don't know

where she goes half the time.

I had to really crack down on her.

We had a big fight yesterday.

And she left for school, slamming the door.

Sam knows how much you love her.

And that's what she's thinking about right now.

Thank you.

This doesn't add up.

Millionaires get ransomed, CEOs kids.

And not the children of payroll managers.

Well, let's try to stay on school.

Maybe our friends know something.

What?

Trying to picture you with pink hair.

Oh.

Well, it looks good.

Trust me.

We checked the school's security cameras.

Samantha left on foot yesterday.

Do you have any idea where she went?

The only time that she doesn't take the bus is when we go to Starbucks, but we

didn't yesterday.

Now I wish that we had.

Sam's mom said that she's been sneaking out, hanging out with you.

Of course she's trying to blame this on me.

She thinks that I'm a bad influence.

Are you? No.

Sam's mom is just crazy strict.

She wouldn't let her have a boyfriend, and she took away her iPad.

Sam had to use mine just to message people. Okay, so Sam wasn't allowed to

have a boyfriend. Was she saying anyone behind her mom's back?

Not that she told me about.

Well, wouldn't you know?

You're her best friend, right?

We tell each other everything.

No, that iPad you let Sam borrow.

We'd like to see it.

I don't think I have it with me today.

Emily, that might work on your parents, but we're going to need to see that

device.

So where are we on Samantha's phone?

Still dark. We did get her friend's iPad. Sam was using it to message

people. James is working on who.

Do you think she knows her kidnappers?

We're not sure.

She did break her routine by not getting on the bus.

What do you got, James?

Nothing too scandalous in Sam's messages.

Lots of complaints about how annoying her mom is.

Oh, wait, hang on.

Look at this text she sent to Grant H.

I love talking to you today. I can't wait to meet you in person.

Oh, because remember Emily told us that Sam's mom wouldn't let her have a

boyfriend? Yeah. I wonder if she's talking to a boy behind her mom's back.

I can't relate at all.

Are there any other messages from him?

Uh, no.

But maybe she called him from this device. Let me check below.

Yeah, sure enough. A bunch of hour-long calls to Grant H.

Trace that, kid.

Whoa. Hey, Grant H. Grant Holland, 48 years old, Green Bay address.

All these phone calls and they've never met in person.

But he might very well be grooming her.

Let's go knock on his door.

FBI, show me your hands.

Where's the girl? Where's your warrant?

It's right here.

Samantha?

Exigent circumstances.

We don't need a warrant.

Samantha?

Get up off me. You got any idea who I am?

Yeah, you're a guy who's going to jail for a long time.

I'll ask you again.

Where's Sam?

I want to speak to a tribal elder or a representative from the Bureau of Indian

Affairs. I told you, they're on their way. And I told you that I don't talk to

the FBI or anybody representing the occupying government known as the United

States of America.

Maybe I can help.

Special Agent Jeremy Riggs, Bureau of Indian Affairs.

John Bishop, FBI.

It's my partner, Kick Lanigan.

Hey, you got a defense card in that wallet? Because you're going to pay for

my door. Grant, just calm down.

All right, listen, we're looking for a missing girl. Her name is Samantha

Dillon, and he won't tell us anything.

Grant?

This is one of my cases.

Cases? Agent Bishop, this is Grant Holland.

He's an activist for the Oneida Indian Nation.

He heads up a group called Return Our Youth.

He connects kids adopted out of the tribe with their Native American birth

parents. By kidnapping them? No, no, no. The government's a kidnapper.

Adoption laws make it easy for white families to take our kids.

That's who I help.

Native kids.

I give them information, recommend a lawyer.

They decide to go that way.

Look, Holland's been doing this for... 22 years.

Get up.

Wait, so I don't understand. Sam contacted you?

Yeah, she was doing an ancestry project at her school.

Took a DNA test on her. She was part of NIDA.

She wanted to know more about her heritage, though. I just been digging

around for her. All I could find was her birth mother's name.

Wait, her...

Birth mother?

Sam was adopted.

I got her birth certificate right here.

Birth mother's name was Jonah Porter.

No father listed.

We spoke to Nancy Dillon.

She didn't tell us Sam was adopted because she didn't think it had anything

to do with her kidnap.

What about the birth mother?

Major Riggs was a popular.

Fiona Gardner, maiden name Porter.

Priors for drug possession, petty larceny.

That's the husband.

He didn't know his wife had a kid with someone else.

Well, that family must be loving us right now.

It was supposed to be a closed adoption.

I was shocked when she called me. She told me who she was, and she said that

she wanted to get to know me.

That was hard, hearing my baby's voice.

I only held her for an hour before I gave her up.

And what did you say to her?

I told her I couldn't meet.

She was devastated.

She pleaded.

You have to understand, I was 18 when I had her.

I was using.

I left all that behind.

I have a new life, a new family.

Fiona, we noticed that you left the father's name off the birth certificate.

He was bad news.

You know, when I got pregnant, that's when I turned things around.

I got clean.

I went back to school.

It's been a long road.

Most people couldn't do what you did.

I'm proud of you.

We think Samantha might be looking for her father the same way she went looking

for you.

God, I hope not. He's not a good guy.

Well, is he the kind of guy that would kidnap his own daughter and hold her for

ransom? If there's a dollar at the end of it, he'd tell his own mother.

Anthony Silvera.

Priors for felony possession, felony intent to distribute, and behind door

number three, impersonating a police officer.

Prelude out of Stevens Point last November.

And we're right back to old tricks.

Outstanding warrant for assault from two nights ago. Yeah, Silvera punched a

bartender, then stole a couple credit cards he was holding for bar tabs.

Well, can you trace those cards? Yeah, the card numbers are included in the

police report.

Looks like one was canceled yesterday, and the other one... Boom!

Owner forgot to cancel. He just paid for Silvera's stay at the Irondale Motor

Lodge.

3421 Anita Street.

Thanks. Yeah.

Boy genius.

Put your hands up.

I'm okay, Mom. He hasn't hurt me.

Where are

you? I don't know where.

I'm at the hotel.

I'm sorry.

All right.

Tell me where she is.

Why don't you come on in here and make me remain silent?

Look, we talked to some reporter.

We know Samantha reached out to you, so tell us where she is right now.

Samantha? Yeah.

Hell, I could have swore that blonde said her name was Nikki.

Look, I dumped Fiona when she got knocked up.

I never met the kid.

Agents, a minute?

That's your guy.

Silvera's been holed up in this rat trap for two days.

Only visitors were a pizza delivery guy and a call girl named Nikki Bella.

Security footage back set up.

Interior and exteriors kind of look a lot.

I'm afraid he's not your guy.

He does have a couple outstanding warrants on the res.

We'll handle Mr. Clancy wherever you want. We're done with him.

Anthony, did you miss Jill?

Yeah.

Hey, so we've been monitoring all calls in and out of Sam's house and we hit the

kidnapper called again.

Well, did he call?

No, but Sam did.

We think she stole the kidnapper's phone just long enough to call her mom.

Now, she only got out a couple of words before she hung up. Were you able to

track it?

I hope you're ready to continue your grand tour of the motels of eastern

Wisconsin.

Sending you the address now.

FBI!

Sorry,

ma'am. I didn't mean to startle you.

You work here, you see every kind of bag sooner or later.

Well, we're looking for the man who stayed here last night.

He left this morning, him and his daughter.

Ma'am, is this the daughter?

That's her.

Pretty girl.

Okay, we need to find him as soon as possible. He's a suspect in her

kidnapping. They just left an hour ago. Did you see which way they went and what

kind of car they had or anything?

No, I passed them on their way out.

It looked like she'd been crying.

I didn't realize what this was.

She was walking around with him.

I mean, if he kidnapped her, why didn't she just run?

A psychic leash.

That's what one of my old shrinks used to call it.

I hated that. It's like he was comparing me to a dog on a chain.

Well, just because an abductor doesn't keep you locked up 24-7 doesn't mean

you're not a prisoner.

Right.

Mel would take me to the movies and take me to the bookstore.

And I would just sit there in the corner, reading stories, hoping to God

that someone would make eye contact with me or call the police.

But I never ran.

I never did anything.

You were a scared kid.

This guy has all the power over Sam. We have got to find her.

All right, well, let's say we're right.

Sam reached out to her dad and found this guy instead.

The piece we don't have is how they crossed paths.

What was their point of contact?

Who are you calling?

Riggs. Look, Sam found out she's a NIDA.

And she hit a dead end with Holland, hit a dead end with her mom.

Let's find out where she would have tried next.

You guys want to know anything that's happening on the res?

Tell us the one you want to talk to.

Have you seen her?

Yeah, she was in here.

I remember because she looked underage.

She was asking the dealers if anyone knew her mom.

Apparently, someone must have told her she used to hang out here.

I took her number, then she left, then the luckiest thing happened.

Guy next table over, says he thinks he knows this girl's dad.

So, I gave him her number.

Well, do you remember this man's name?

He comes in here from time to time. I think it's Jake or Johnny.

Kim.

You know that guy that's always in here drinking to Bahama Mama?

Yeah, he hasn't been in in a while.

What, he hit the jackpot?

God, no.

I heard he owes some guys some money.

You're talking about Jimmy Diaz.

Jimmy Diaz, who we're depending on the day of the week. Jimmy Barker, Jim

DeSanto, James Haything, Jacob St. Cloud.

This guy's got almost as many priors as he does identities. Fraud, forgery,

identity theft, tithing checks.

At least he's an organ donor.

A con man and an abductor. I don't put those two together.

Well, enlighten them, Bishop.

Well, skill set's nearly the same.

Identify a target, gain their trust, find a vulnerability to prey on, strike

when their guard is down.

Now let's set the scene.

This guy's sitting at a bar in the casino.

He overhears Sam's story, starts seeing dollar signs.

He reaches out to her, says he knows her dad, ingratiates himself.

And then when they meet, he kidnaps her. And holds her ransom. Right.

She just wanted a dad.

Who?

Adrian. Yeah, I'm at an antique store about two miles from the motel. It got

held up 30 minutes ago.

Suspect matches Jimmy Diaz's description.

We just got lucky.

Let's go.

We've been robbed before, usually as kids, but this guy is different.

I didn't make him as a stick-up artist, but turn around and pull his piece.

I gave him what was in the drawer, a couple grand.

Then he says, open the safe.

He grabs a bunch of money.

I didn't know what he was going to do.

So, man, I keep a piece under the counter.

Agent Bishop, here's your brass.

You fired just the one round?

Bishop, look.

Steers.

All right, let's start checking hospitals.

Urgent care.

It's Sam.

She was his getaway driver.

So tell me again about that psychic leash.

That doesn't make sense.

I mean, Jimmy overhears Sam at the casino.

He calls her, says he knows her dad, then they decide to fake her kidnapping.

Wait.

What if he didn't tell her, I know your dad? What if he told her, I am your dad?

That would make her want to help him.

The waitress at the casino said Jimmy owes some guys money.

Maybe he's in deep.

That's why he robbed the store.

Jimmy saved Sam's abduction, and she helped him do it.

I'll be fine.

I'll be fine.

I'm sorry you have to see this.

Hey, last night at the motel, I'm sorry I yelled at you.

I know calling my mom was dumb. I just... It's okay.

The look on her face the other night.

I just wanted to let her know I'm okay.

Yeah. I know. Bad idea.

Yeah.

Getting you mixed up in all this wasn't exactly my best plan.

You know, I should have let you go the other night.

I panicked.

No, Dad. I wanted to stay. I wanted to help you get the money.

And now we've got it.

Most of it, anyway.

Enough so those guys will leave you all.

It's not your problem.

Sam, you've done enough for me already.

It's okay.

No, it's not okay.

We need to get you back to your mom.

Did you know how long I've been looking for you?

My whole life, I've been wondering who my dad was, what you were like, what

your job was.

It's really dumb, but I gave you a name.

Charles, you...

You are an attorney.

It took me 16 years to find you.

I'm not leaving you now.

I can't get funding for paperclips.

James Frank.

David Riggs, BIA. Agent Riggs? Frank.

Hey. I want to notify Green Bay police. If they see Jimmy Diaz, he is wounded

and armed. Approach with caution. Okay. The guy Jimmy owes money to is Victor

Creech. He's a local racketeer, loan shark.

He's a bit of a butcher, if I'm being honest.

Well, that's not good, because Jimmy's with a 16-year-old girl, and I do not

want to be a shootout.

Jimmy's a career criminal, right?

And when career criminals feel the heat, they usually have someone they can go

to.

Let's find out who that is.

Riggs.

I'm going to start with Creech.

What the

hell

are you doing, Jimmy?

What do you mean, what am I doing?

She's 16.

You're running the con on that 16-year-old.

Yeah, I mean...

It started out like that, but I don't know. I got to know her.

Taught her to play cards, talked to her about her mom and what it's like being

adopted. I mean, you know I never knew my dad.

And she's a good kid.

Plus, she's really good at this.

You've got to tell her you're not her father. And break her heart?

The kid's always wanted a dad.

Then I'm going to tell her.

All right, okay, all right.

I'll figure a way to let her off easy.

Samantha, hon?

Got your grilled cheese.

So you and my dad dated?

Did you love him?

Not in the marrying kind of way.

He's a lot of fun, Jimmy.

You just can't rely on him.

He's my dad.

I can rely on him.

Sam.

All right.

Meeting's all set.

It'll all be over in an hour.

I'll drive you.

Well, I can drive.

No, no.

You stay here.

Dad, I want to come. I have to come.

I'm your dad, and I say no.

Well, I'll stay in the car with Chrissy. Come on. I helped you get that money. I

earned this.

Please.

Got it. The last three times Jimmy got busted, the same woman bailed him out.

Chrissy Alper's Green Bay address.

All right, let's go.

Text it to me. Okay. Nice.

Go. FBI!

Found some.

They must have just left.

It's still warm.

Check this out.

Open bag of sunflower seeds.

The other half was in Jimmy's motel room.

James Pinker's phone.

I'm gonna go see my friend Victor.

I'll be right back.

Ten minutes tops.

Hey, Chrissy.

Do you ever think an ugly guy like me could have such a good-looking daughter?

I put Chrissy's phone at 11200 Clearview Avenue. I'm sending it to you now.

Jimmy better be here.

You will be.

Talk to him.

I've got a gun.

But we have to tell Jimmy. No, we're staying right here. I'll call him.

Come on.

Pick up. Jimmy.

Sam. Get back here.

Sam.

Oh, Jimmy.

Hey, I got the money right here.

That's the most I could get. The most you could get.

Come on, man.

I got shot for this.

You must think I'm pretty stupid.

No.

It's Chrissy.

Okay, we're done.

No, stop!

Who's this?

Mr. Dong.

Dad!

I didn't know you had a kid, Jimmy.

Please don't. Do you love your dad, kid?

You love him?

Tell him to pay his debts.

Please.

You're gonna make me hurt a kid, Jimmy.

Please don't.

Aren't you, Jimmy?

I just want to go home.

You're gonna make me hurt a kid. Don't stop, please. Please stop.

She has nothing to do with this. I... I was just calling her to get the money I

owe you.

She's not my kid.

No, that's not true.

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

FBI, drop your weapons!

On the ground, now!

Hands behind your back. Are you okay?

She got the whole dad experience.

She even got to grieve for him.

He took a bullet for her.

She wasn't even his daughter.

Maybe you can pick your family.

You ever meet my friend, Dutch?

No.

Besides taking my money and my cigars at poker.

He's my go-to guy when I need to talk about all of this stuff

we do.

I'm just trying to tell you something.

You cannot keep this bottled up inside of you.

It will eat you alive.

I don't want to see that happen to you. You've got to find somebody to talk to.

Hey.

You

know,

I have someone.

Good.

Thank you.

I feel you breathing.

I see you waiting. Just stay as long as I

can.

And I see you waiting so stay as long as I can.

Cause I can't say I'm in here if I'm here holding

your hand.

Oh my gosh. Okay. So we have cake.

Is this your worst nightmare?

Yeah. Pretty much. Okay.

That was good.

So, Noah, Kit tells me that you work for a foundation.

Yeah, I'd tell you all about it, but you might have a narcoleptic fit.

Someone's a hit with your mom?

More like hitting on your mom.

Ow. Mom, what happened to Bishop?

He didn't return my call.

Sounds like Bishop.

I'm not drinking enough. Oh, Lord. James, here I go. Don't get used to

this. I am. What?

I would like... Propositos.

To... To the birthday girl.

Oh!

Prince Charming has arrived.

You saw that I do.
