Jamie... Jamie...

[Jamie groaning]

Jamie, Jamie! Jamie!

- I wanna sleep. - No, not anymore.

- Yeah. - So...

So?

So... you know.

What?

Let me sleep some more.

[Groans]

Jamie. Jamie. Jamie!

Jamie. Jamie. Jamie!

What? OK.

I'm awake.

Only now, I'm so mad at you,

I'm gonna pin you down and tickle you!

No! You're not gonna...

Yes, you asked for it!

No, I did not ask for it! I would never ask for it!

- Oh, you love it! You love it. - Stop it!

I hate that! You know I hate that!

[Alarm blaring]

I gotta go to work.

Oh no! No, you don't!

- Sorry. - No, no, no, no.

- I don't wanna go. - You don't have to go!

I have to.

- You don't have to. - I do.

Are you sure you're working days?

Yeah, all month.

Because if you were on swing, we could go back to bed.

- Ah, in your dreams. - In my dreams?

I think in your dreams, buddy!

[Sirens in distance]

Are we ever gonna slow down?

Yeah, right!

Maybe we'll get a couple of rocking chairs,

put them out on the front stoop?

Yeah!

I think we got a few years left.

All right, I gotta go.

Mmm!

Hey, no, no, no, no lipstick!

I'm not wearing any.

- OK, bye. - Bye.

[Engine starting]

[Beeping]

[Beeping]

[Ringing]

[Man]: 911. What's your emergency?

All units, 10-31 in progress, 113 Front Street.

Jeez, I haven't even made roll call yet.

Hey, this is 318. I'm 4 blocks west. Responding.

318, 10-4.

[Siren blaring]

I'm at a warehouse on the river.

No activity. I'll wait for backup.

[Man]: Help! Help! Help!

Ah!

[Groaning]

Officer down! Officer down!

Calling an ambulance!

Everyone else, follow me.

He can't be far!

[Woman]: Ambulance on its way.

- Freeze! - Don't move!

Hands in the air, and turn around.

Hey, blue people.

[Chuckles]

How are you?

Shut up! Stay down, bastard!

[Coughing]

Can't we just get along?

[Laughing]

[♪ Playing Taps♪]

"Though you made me see troubles,

"many and bitter,

"you will restore my life again.

"From the depths of the earth,

"you will bring me up again.

"You will increase my honour

"and comfort me once again.

"Though I walk in the midst of trouble,

"you preserve my life.

"You stretch out your hand against the anger of my foes.

"With your right hand, you save me."

Order, arms!

Aim!

Fire!

[Guns firing]

Fire!

Fire!

[Thunder crashing]

Ready!

Arms!

- It's so unfair. - We knew the risks.

We talked about what could happen.

I guess I never wanted to believe it.

You need to get some rest.

Mom, I'm gonna be OK. I'll be all right.

- I'm worried about you. - Mom...

I will be fine.

What are you going to do now?

Whatever needs to be done.

[Crying]

[Sighing]

Hey, no, no, no! No lipstick!

I'm not wearing any.

Kate...

we've been here for almost an hour.

We haven't addressed anything.

Why don't you tell me what you're feeling?

Denial?

Anger?

Depression?

He was a cop.

We both knew something like this could...

You've already said that.

Do we really have to do this?

You know we have to.

I'm scared.

The apartment feels like...

It's so empty.

I feel like a ghost.

And I miss him.

Of course.

That's a start.

I don't know.

Seems like everybody's got an opinion

on how I should be dealing with it.

I just thought coming here

was just as good an idea as any, you know?

Yeah, we're all gonna miss him around here.

Thank you for listening, Manny.

[Man]: Hey, buddy!

Be right back.

Get you another one Kate?

No, I should really get going. Thank you.

You have a good one.

OK.

This one is mine, guys.

Hey.

I said, hey!

Where you going?

Home. Alone.

Come on, don't be like that.

- Ugh... - Hey...

Ahh!

[Grunting]

You picked the wrong girl on the wrong night, pal.

Ah

[Cell ringing]

Connor.

Yeah, I'll be right there.

Good to see you back, Detective.

Thank you.

- Hi, Kate. - Hi, Frank.

You pursued Kyle Randall for 2 years.

You put a name and a face to the serial killer.

This look like revenge?

Yeah, it does.

I'm sorry to ask this,

but why Jamie and not you?

To prolong the emotional damage.

He's a sadist.

Kate?

- Hmm? - Randall wants to talk to you.

But you don't have to.

And more importantly, you shouldn't.

Evelyn, she's the only one he'll talk to.

I asked you here this morning as a courtesy,

but it's Kate's decision to make.

There's a reason the department has

a psychologist on staff.

Look, here's the situation.

The DA wants the interview.

He's been Mirandized. The tape will be running.

Anything he says can be used to hang him.

And with Kate, he could make a mistake.

This is the one murder we've got him on the scene.

We've got to put this guy away.

The man murdered her husband, Lieutenant.

He's about to be transferred to maximum security.

This has to happen now before he gets a chance

to change his mind.

I'll talk to him.

I'll be all right.

Not in my opinion.

I'm sorry, Kate.

Kyle Randall can't hurt me.

Not anymore.

And if all he wants to do is strut,

I'm not gonna waste my time.

- Understood. - OK.

Well, here she is,

my favourite detective in all the world.

Welcome, Katie.

Or you'd prefer Kate, wouldn't you?

I'm surprised you came.

What is it you'd like to say to me?

Oh, come on, Kate,

just a little chitchat, you know?

Don't be such a stiff.

[Exhaling]

How are you adjusting?

Those first few seconds when you wake up in the morning,

do you think that everything's back to the way it was?

And then you remember.

What's that look?

My patience running out.

You're really deprecating, Kate.

You look down your nose at people.

Is there something you would like to share with the world?

I can't help but think that you only see half of me, Kate.

I'm a bad person.

But I read somewhere

that that's, like, the dark side of genius.

So, what if my other side, was like, um...

a great painter or... or a politician

or a philosopher, right?

What do you think?

I would definitely make that argument to a jury.

What was it like between you and Jamie?

Was it really intense?

Or was it just, like, on the list of things to do?

That was too personal.

I crossed the line, and I'm sorry, Kate.

But look at it this way. This is a new start, a new life.

This is your moment, Kate!

[Breathing heavily]

Oh, come on, Kate. Don't be like that.

You're a tough, tough girl.

You can take it from a little cracker like me.

This trip wasn't for nothing.

I got candy for you.

It's not over, Kate.

Things are gonna get very interesting.

Things are gonna get very interesting, Kate!

[Exhales]

- Hey. - Hey.

You almost lost it in there.

Yeah.

- You OK? - Yeah, I'm good.

He just wants an audience.

That's why he's not giving anything up.

This thing's gonna go to trial.

Well, he did mention that something's coming.

That mean anything to you?

No, that's a tease.

When are they transferring him?

Tomorrow, first thing.

It's paperwork, Kate.

Tomorrow he's in maximum security in segregation.

Once he's there, he ain't going anywhere.

Kate?

You sure you can handle this?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Restroom stop.

You're gonna exit the bus in groups of 4.

You'll be un-cuffed one at a time, when I say so.

I don't want any trouble.

[Grunting]

Hey, knock it off!

Get back in line, you two!

I said knock it off!

[All shouting]

Break it up, guys!

I said break it up!

That's enough, guys.

Let's go.

Get on the bus. Come on.

Everybody back on the bus!

Those clowns at prison transport

just lost Randall!

- What? - Got out APB statewide.

They're from Kyle.

He's gonna call. I'm tapping your phones.

I want you to stay on your toes, Kate.

[Exhaling]

[Indistinct chatter on radio]

[Inhales, exhales]

[Woman screaming, baby crying in distance]

[Phone ringing]

Hello.

[Kyle]: Hello, Kate.

Did you get the roses?

Yes.

OK.

Don't thank me.

You didn't really think it was all over, did you?

Pass up all the good times we could have?

I told you things were gonna pick up.

More chases, more...

adventures.

I know what you want to do to me, Kate.

That's why I'm giving you another chance.

Are we being recorded?

Of course we are.

Hello, everyone.

Kate, enjoy the roses,

and try to get some sleep, OK?

Take care, dear.

Bye-bye.

[Hanging up]

What do you make of it?

Kyle's gonna make this personal.

It's his version of a vendetta.

Yeah, but we're going after him, not you.

Well, he's already processed that,

so whatever he has in mind, you'd better get to him first.

Run this by Forensics.

You didn't really think it was all over, did you?

I told you...

Apartment...

[Shouting on computer]

Low rent.

Cheap insulation.

Yeah, let me shrink that.

[Barking on computer]

Borderline neighbourhood.

Residential but with commercial traffic.

Yeah, we're urban.

Yeah.

Near a commercial body of water.

Yeah, maybe a river.

[Bells clanging on computer]

Church bells.

OK, that's our beacon.

It's a match from archival tapes.

I estimate it puts our target

within a 2-to-3-block radius of...

here.

Saint Michael's.

- Good work, Johnson. - Thanks.

- Kate? - Hmm.

You're not in on this.

- I know. Get him. - We will.

[Knocking on door]

Come in.

What do you got?

Have a look.

It's Kyle Randall.

[Kate]: What do you mean?

He identified himself

as the kidnapper to the Senator after he called the media.

They want you on the case.

- Ah! - No, don't do this.

Senator Pitfield had a long conversation

with the 6th floor.

He knows about you, your circumstances.

He wants you to head this up.

No, you cannot make her do this.

Kate?

I've already been invited by Kyle.

You're taking irresponsible advantage of her.

For what? For politics?

If she were your daughter, who would you want?

Same cop who got him the last time.

Look, I know you have ethical responsibilities,

but somebody's pulled rank on me.

Kate, you have any reservations about this,

I'll refuse my orders.

No.

OK.

Kate...

Do you realize what you're doing?

I don't really have a lot of choice.

How can I explain this? OK, here it is.

You've got a player with broken ribs.

You say to him: "You'll be fine.

"Go out and play the second half."

She's a cop, Evelyn. She can handle it.

Why do you think the department has

compassionate leave, Frank?

You give people time to heal after a gunshot wound.

Grief is like an infection.

It can be fatal if it's ignored, Lieutenant.

What the hell?

Lt. McDermott.

- Yeah. - Detective Connor.

I'm Malcolm Gitteridge, the Senator's campaign advisor,

although right now I'm a traffic cop.

Trying to keep track of all these people,

it's like a zoo.

Let me navigate you through. The Senator is expecting us.

Lieutenant, Detective. Senator and Mrs. Pitfield.

Have a seat.

Malcolm, please stay.

8:00 this morning,

our daughter, Karen, had still not come down to breakfast.

I called several times.

Then the phone rang.

And the caller said: "This is Kyle Randall.

"She's fine... for the moment."

Then he hung up.

We went rushing upstairs,

but Karen was gone.

Any other communication? A note or anything?

Nothing.

We received cards and letters

from a few of the Senator's colleagues

after they learned of the abduction.

Did these roses come with a note?

No, actually, they didn't.

They were delivered this morning. No note.

Roses are Kyle Randall's calling card.

They're from the kidnapper.

May I see her room, please?

- Absolutely. Malcolm. - No, no. I'll take you.

[Exhales]

Get them out of here.

- She's a rower. - Mmm.

In her third season. It's her one love.

You would think she was born on the water.

She was to compete in a regatta next week.

She was taken from her bed?

We believe so.

What about the security system?

It never went off. It's as though...

She just walked out on her own.

Please understand... Karen was happy.

She loves us. She adores her brothers.

She's not of a rebellious nature.

She'd never touch drugs.

She was taken against her will, Detective.

I don't know how it happened,

but you have to believe me.

Hmm. I see.

Can I hang onto this for now?

Of course.

These are our sons, Mark and David.

Thank you for being here.

Pleased to meet you.

You too.

Lieutenant, with your permission,

I'd like to speak with Detective Connor in private.

Of course.

Thank you. This way.

Mrs. Pitfield...

I have a few more questions if you don't mind.

Are you guys all right?

Detective Connor, I'd like to introduce Henry Dobson,

my number one for security.

Detective.

- How do you do? - You need anything...

anything at all, 24-7,

you give him a call.

Henry never sleeps. Do you, Henry?

No, sir.

I'll give you two some privacy.

I know the FBI is on this,

but I want your office to take charge.

More to the point, I want you in charge.

You know this man, correct?

I do.

What's his motivation for taking my Karen?

You're high profile.

Kyle Randall craves attention. He's a sociopath.

He's intelligent and he's resourceful,

but he's got low self-esteem.

He needs validation.

[Sighs]

- Validation? - Mmm.

Detective, I'm gonna ask a favour,

and I ask it as a father.

Make Henry a partner.

I've instructed him to give you

all the support my office can offer.

In return, keep him thoroughly informed

of your investigation.

That's not a problem,

given that my superiors approve, of course.

From where I stand, you have no superiors.

This man killed your husband, correct?

Yes.

- I'm so sorry. - Thank you.

It's why I want you to walk point on this, to take command.

If anyone should question your authority,

you make one phone call.

This is my private number.

Sure, OK.

You must do everything and anything you deem necessary

at any time.

- You mean... - I mean...

do whatever it takes to get my daughter back.

Think of it as a license to kill.

If Kyle Randall should end up dead,

I'll make sure nobody asks you how or why.

Henry...

So he wants us in charge.

He thinks we could have a head start.

You have a head start.

Is he gonna shake up the chain of command?

Mmm, you're still my boss. That doesn't change.

Hi, Mr. Gitteridge.

Malcolm.

Ugh, I have a question for you.

Are both of the sons adopted?

Yes.

What about Karen?

I assumed you'd been briefed on the Senator's family.

They couldn't have children any other way,

so they adopted the three.

I haven't been working with them long,

but there is no stronger bond in a biological family.

OK, thank you.

Detective Connor, Special Agent Hollings.

Have a seat.

Senator Pitfield, as you may know,

is on the Senate Defence Committee.

The kidnapping of his daughter

is considered a matter of national security.

Your attorney general contacted Washington,

and we've been called in

to help you guys get the job done.

This is what we have up to now.

I've got most of my squad working on the case.

[Exhales]

Fine.

We'll need 3 of your desks for my men.

I'll be with our other team at the Senator's home.

We should head back to the Senator's house, too.

He's gonna call again.

Detective Connor, I...

[Clears throat]

I realize the Senator wants you on this case

because Randall killed your husband.

And Randall himself wants you on this case.

- What are you getting at? - Well, that...

maybe that this has nothing to do with Karen at all,

that you, Detective Connor,

you are the central figure in this investigation.

That's probably what Kyle wants you to think.

You're on a first-name basis with him?

Yeah, and I do his laundry.

We've set up communications

at the Senator's home.

He's not going to speak to the Senator.

He's going to ask for me.

Well, should that be the case,

I'm sure you'll make yourself available.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Glad to help.

[Sighs]

[Inhaling]

For you.

I like roses. I always have.

They're not ostentatious, like orchids.

It's quiet beauty...

not unlike yourself.

You can talk, you know.

There's, uh, nobody else around.

I'm afraid that's pretty much all we can do.

Ah!

Do you wanna read something?

[Scoffs]

[Chains clanging]

It's just, we're starting to run out of options.

I was gonna get you one of those video-game consoles.

But quite frankly,

I think they lead

to maladjusted, antisocial behaviour.

In any case,

I'm here if you change your mind

and you feel like chatting.

[Phone ringing]

Hello.

[Kyle]: I know everyone is there.

Put me on speakerphone.

He wants to be put on speakerphone.

[Beeping]

So...

is the team up and running?

Yeah, all waiting on you, Kyle.

You know, uh... I, uh...

I do this for fun.

But I have expenses, too.

How much do you think I can get for her?

Money's not the issue, Kyle.

Karen's safety is the issue.

Oh, of course it is.

But I still need money, too.

Give us a figure.

[Chuckles]

We'll work on that, won't we?

Kyle...

Time to take a break. Call back in 15. Bye-bye.

Kyle!

[Dial tone]

[Exhales]

Well, Karen, if you feel like screaming, go ahead.

'Cause there's no one else around!

- Malcolm? - Yes, sir.

We're gonna need to take a look

at the list from our last fundraiser.

Yes sir.

[Sobbing]

How do you get through these days?

Well, how do you?

I guess I'm just looking for some advice.

Be patient.

His most effective weapon is making you wait.

- Will he hurt her? - No. No, no.

No, Kyle has no history of violence towards women.

Please, put that out of your mind, OK?

[Whispering, indistinct]

[Ringing]

Senator... please.

- [Kate]: We're listening. - $2 million.

And, uh, well, that...

that includes living expenses.

So, you can tell your friends

to stop hanging out in my old neighbourhood.

We need assurance of her safety.

Let me talk to her.

It's the money or the girl, Kyle.

You can't have both. Do we agree on that?

Do we want old bills?

Old bills.

Of course. What is her condition?

Let me talk to her.

What's your condition?

She's just peachy.

Let her talk to her parents.

[Phone beeping]

I'm afraid we're out of time. Sorry, Agent Hollings.

[Hanging up]

[Senator grunting]

He is wired in!

How could he know I'm the Bureau's point man?

How well do you know the people you work with?

- You think someone on my team... - I didn't say that.

My people are G-7 and above with top-secret clearance.

We can rule out the family.

They'd really like to get their girl back.

That just leaves your squad.

Would you bet your life on your team?

Yeah, I would. I do it every day.

Yeah. Yeah, and so did your husband.

Look where that got him.

I... I... That was...

That was out of line.

And I apologize.

I'll tell you what.

Why don't we quit snapping at each other

and see if we can help them, OK?

For God knows how many years,

this guy roams the city killing deadbeat men,

butchering them in alleys and in streets.

And then all of a sudden,

he kidnaps the daughter of a rich-and-powerful senator.

That doesn't add up!

I mean, what happened?

God, talk about changing your MO!

We've never seen anything like this.

Let's go over the victim profile again.

All men, same ages.

All lower-middle class to indigent.

Oh, and they'd all abandoned their families.

Coincidence?

Probably, given the social strata.

Hmm.

[Kate sighs]

He warned me, and I did not listen.

Kate, you can stop beating yourself up over this.

Nobody saw it coming.

He's driving this family to despair,

and he's loving every minute of it.

You're the expert. Why?

Why do evil men do the things they do?

[Scoffs]

That's... very subjective.

Have you ever thought that it is the acts that are evil,

but that all men are redeemable?

Not this guy.

You want to kill him?

[Kyle]: Hello, Kate.

Hello, everyone.

Senator, Kristie.

Kyle.

You got the money?

Two mil, unmarked, black bag.

- OK, I trust you. - I'm sure you do.

Kate...

this is very stressful.

Please don't antagonize me.

I apologize.

You've got a quick mouth.

Have the rest of you noticed that already?

Does this have to be about my imperfections?

In our interview, you heard everything I said,

but you listened to nothing.

I told you something that you needed to know.

But it went right past you,

leaving you unprepared

for the situation that you find yourself in now.

That responsibility

has fallen onto you, Kate.

You were too busy healing, isn't that it?

Too busy to listen.

And here I go,

running my mouth off again.

I'm sorry, Kate.

But why would they let you interview me

after what I did?

As I recall, you wouldn't talk to anyone else.

Well, I just... I had to twist the knife.

I can't help myself.

All right, Kyle, we were gonna talk about an exchange?

I'm sitting next to a big bag of money right now.

Yes, yes, of course.

[Cell ringing]

Hollings.

Got it. We're on our way.

You remember the warehouse where it all went down?

- Yes. - Well, it has, um...

It has sentimental value to me.

This is Senator Pitfield.

Put my daughter on the line.

We're not proceeding until we know she's safe.

That's a very reasonable request, Senator.

And to show you that I'm a very reasonable man,

I will put your daughter on the phone.

- Daddy! - Baby, are you OK?

Did he hurt you?

I'm fine. I'm just really scared.

I think that's enough.

Let our daughter go.

You get the money.

And you can walk away. You have my word.

Oh, the word of a senator!

I'm overwhelmed.

Room 512.

Kate, are you still there?

Can you please explain that you don't need reinforcement?

We're doing quite well on our own.

- What is that? - I don't know.

I hate to think of anyone coming between us, Kate.

- Clear! - Clear!

[Kyle laughing on phone]

Kate, are you hearing this?

[Continues laughing]

[Laughing manically]

[Laughing continues]

Dammit!

I think it's just gonna be you and me,

and we're gonna make a new life here.

Are you ready for that, Karen? Nobody will find us.

[Cell ringing]

Connor.

[Hollings]: There's a note.

"Just kidding. Keep the money."

[Sighs]

All right, boys.

Detective, what's going on?

He's playing us. He doesn't want a ransom.

Oh my God, he's gonna kill her!

Mrs. Pitfield, I'm...

This is about you!

He's using us!

He's using our daughter to get at you!

She's very, very frightened.

She's right. She's right.

I'm compromising this investigation.

Kristie!

I'm... I'm out for a little walk.

Yeah, I needed to clear my head.

It's been a bit of a rough week.

I know, Mom, but it's my job, so...

Yes, I'll see you then.

Tell Dad I say hello. Bye.

Just give me the keys! Just give them to me!

You can't drive. You've had too much to drink!

Stop!

Hey, hey, hey! Step back! I'm a police officer!

- Yeah right! - Are you OK?

You can't tell me how to handle my wife!

I said step back!

[Grunting]

Are you OK?

[Groaning]

It's Detective Connor, badge 1136.

I need a paramedic to 1224 East Fifth Street.

[Crying]

- Feel better? - Meaning?

Tell me again what precipitated the arrest.

A man was beating his wife. I gave him a warning.

But you didn't provoke him.

No.

This happen after the kidnapping lead

came to a dead end?

Yes.

You wouldn't be

projecting Kyle Randall onto that man on the street?

Of course not.

Mm-hmm.

Are we done?

Sure.

Sorry, Lieutenant,

but we're not letting this one go.

Mm-hmm. Come in!

You wanted to see me.

Yes, Detective Connor.

This is our man from Internal Affairs.

There were 4 fractures on the man, Detective,

4 separate fractures.

You know what this means?

Hopefully he'll think twice

about laying another hand on his wife?

I identified myself.

He assaulted a police officer, I used force to subdue.

There's the report.

Thanks for coming in, Detective Connor.

I wasn't quite finished, Lieutenant.

I know.

Look, you know the case she's on.

I could suspend her pending an investigation,

but she makes one phone call

and we're both back walking the beat.

It's your call.

But if I were you, I'd let this one go.

Look, I know her situation,

but we got a long sheet on her, Lieutenant.

Very physical.

Trust me, she's in control.

But the real question is,

will she still be in control

when she finds Kyle Randall?

Thanks for coming in.

Lieutenant.

As the Karen Pitfield abduction enters its 5th day,

here again is a picture of the man

the FBI has identified as being the kidnapper,

Kyle Randall.

[Phone ringing]

Homicide.

Detective, it's Henry Dobson.

Oh, Mr. Dobson, what can I do for you?

I wonder if we could meet.

There's something they didn't tell you.

Karen has a boyfriend.

I think we should go talk to him.

[Exhales]

Where?

[Door closing]

Thank you for coming.

I don't want to throw unwarranted suspicion on anyone,

but I keep asking myself,

how did the kidnapper get her out of her bed,

down the stairs and out the door?

If Scott asked her to go,

I think she would.

Scott, tell the detective what you know

about Karen's disappearance.

Um, I got a call from the Senator that morning.

I went right over.

He wanted to know if we'd been out,

the last time I saw her,

if I knew anything about what happened.

I had to tell him I didn't.

Did you talk to Karen

anytime that night or during the day?

Yeah, in the morning, just for a little while.

Was something bothering her? Was she upset about anything?

No, no.

It was just like any other day.

What were your whereabouts the night Karen disappeared?

I... I... I was at home...

in bed.

Scott, we're trying to figure out

how somebody got her out of the house.

You didn't call? She didn't go outside for you?

No. No, I didn't call, no.

Unless she let you in.

No, she didn't let me in, OK? I swear... I swear she didn't.

Ever seen this guy?

- That's the guy who did it? - Yeah.

No, I've never seen him.

Can you do me a favour?

When you find him, shoot him.

Ah...

OK, Scott, thank you for talking to us.

If you think of anything else, will you please call us?

Thank you.

What do you think?

- What's his record? - 4.0.

Applications at Harvard and MIT.

- Drugs? - Doubtful.

Karen wouldn't have anything to do with anybody who used.

Still, given the security system,

had to be someone else,

somebody on the inside,

an inside man, an accomplice.

Somebody to lure her out of the house.

- Yeah. - Or go in and get her.

But I don't believe it was Scott.

Yeah, neither do I.

- Guess we have to keep looking. - Stay in touch.

[Woman on TV]: Only recently did police have

a name and the face of the person allegedly responsible

for a series of murders, Kyle Randall, 26,

who escaped from police custody last week.

In a dramatic turn,

Eyewitness News has learned

the principal investigator in the Karen Pitfield abduction,

Detective Caitlyn Connor,

has another connection to this case.

She is the widow of

Kyle Randall's last alleged murder victim,

Sgt. Jameson Connor, killed in the line of duty.

Also in the news...

Hey! Check this out!

We're famous!

As the Karen Pitfield abduction enters its 5th day,

here again is a picture of the man

the FBI has identified as being the kidnapper,

Kyle Randall.

[Sighs]

[Ringing]

- Hello. - Hi, Henry. Did I wake you?

- No. Still on the clock. - I know it's late.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry to call.

I've just been going over this thing,

and what's always been so frustrating to us about Kyle

is that outside of an arrest record,

Kyle doesn't have any history.

Aside from the basics,

we don't know anything about him.

We don't know where he grew up.

We don't know who his family is.

Well, it's not easy,

but if you want to live off the grid,

there are ways.

You're working late.

Can't sleep.

Are you OK?

I'm... I'm fine.

I will... I'll call you tomorrow.

Don't kill my son!

[Inaudible]

[Bell dinging]

Is there anything else you can remember?

I didn't get that close a look at her.

She didn't touch the elevator doors,

maybe leave a print?

No, she kept her distance.

She certainly could know where he is.

Yeah, or who he is.

She came all the way down to the precinct.

She waited for who knows how long

just to ask me not to kill her son.

So?

It means she obviously cares about him.

She feels something for him.

Maybe she was at the courthouse for his arraignment.

I wonder if he's even aware of what's going on.

OK, remand, then they go.

There! There.

Is he making eye contact?

Who is he looking at?

Can we get a look at who's in the room?

Cameras don't cover the gallery, just the wall.

But I saw cameras in the common areas.

Can you send all footage from that day to Homicide?

- Sure. - Thank you.

So, somebody or something got his attention.

Might be Mother.

Well, I'll go through the tapes.

If she's there, I'm gonna find her.

If someone's in there for him who's not his mother...

- The accomplice. - Yeah.

How did Karen get out of the house?

Who had access?

Malcolm? Karen's brothers?

Malcolm.

We vetted him thoroughly. He's squeaky clean.

It's not one of the boys.

Those two are very protective of their younger sister.

I don't want to put any undue pressure on you,

but the Senator has his sights set on a higher office.

Only one office higher than the one he has now.

Oh...

What are his chances?

I'd say your assignment is to rescue

the daughter of the next President.

OK.

Bring her back safely,

and you can write your own future.

Where are you?

Stop it right there.

All right.

Let me clean that one up for you.

OK, this is the north corridor outside the courtroom.

Yeah, I think I can work with that a little.

Let's boost the resolution and zoom in on the face.

That's definitely her.

All right, I can do better than that.

If she drives a car, we'll find her.

Why don't you go have a chat with Mrs. Dobbs?

That's a good idea.

How on earth did you find me?

Can I come in?

I hadn't seen him in a number of years.

I went to his arraignment, but...

I couldn't go into the courtroom.

Didn't want to see him chained up.

I know what the boy's done.

He deserves to be punished.

Justice, not execution.

I...

I don't want to kill your son, Mrs. Dobbs.

I just want to arrest him

and return a girl to her parents.

I understand that he killed your husband.

I saw it on the television.

- Yeah, even so. - That's a lot to ask.

- Well, that's my job. - Well...

that's reassuring.

Is Kyle an only child?

- Yes. - Is his father still alive?

I don't like to talk about his father.

Well, I'm thinking he could be of help to us.

Mrs. Dobbs, an army of people is gonna learn

everything there is to know about you.

Yeah, well, that's not much.

A name, Claire.

I just need his father's name.

I cannot give you a name.

I hardly remember him.

I can't even see his face anymore.

I know you're not going to believe this,

but I don't even know where my son is.

But for everything that's so horrible that's happened,

he's still my boy.

Have a seat.

She says she hasn't seen Kyle in years

and has no memory of the father.

You believe her?

Ah... about Kyle? Yeah, maybe.

About the father? I don't know.

I guess it wasn't a long-term relationship.

Or a convenient way not to answers questions about him.

And she's home during a workday,

which means she either works from home

or she works at night

or she doesn't have to work.

I think we should subpoena her bank records.

- Consider it done. - OK.

- Good work, Kate. - Thank you.

Thomas Gallagher.

You're Detective Connor? Yes.

We subpoenaed the bank records of Claire Dobbs

and learned that your firm, you, specifically,

make a monthly deposit of $5,000 into that account.

I can't imagine why the account of Claire Dobbs

would be of interest to the police.

Part of an open investigation, I can't elaborate.

But I need to know the source of the funds.

It's a blind trust, Detective.

And I can assure you the settlor of the trust

is under no criminal investigation.

As to his or her identity,

this falls under the attorney-client privilege.

Look, this is a matter of life and death.

I'm very sorry to hear that.

You don't sound very sorry.

While we would do anything to help the police,

in this case we must reluctantly refuse your request.

Do you have any idea

how much heat is gonna come down on you?

No. But we will protect our clients.

So, if there's nothing else, Detective,

I'm really quite busy.

[Exhales]

I got us some food, Karen.

And I got us something for your ankle.

OK...

Promise you'll not go anywhere?

This might sting a bit, OK?

[Wincing]

I know, Karen,

that this is...

the last place you wanna be in the world

and that your patience is running out.

But this will all be over very soon, OK?

It'll be over very, very soon, OK?

OK?

Is that better?

OK.

- No, I did not ask for it! - Don't lie! You love it!

I would never ask for it!

- You love it! - I hate it!

It's like I'm window dressing.

I should have put my foot down a long time ago.

I tried to take you off this case.

You're not sleeping. You've lost weight.

Listen, I know it's what they want...

No, this is not... This is not about them.

You're running on adrenaline. When you come...

So what? That doesn't matter!

It most certainly does!

No! All that matters is Karen Pitfield. That's it!

Not to me.

You matter to me.

It's all in play, and it all will end.

And there's a certain peace in knowing that.

Kate...

Katie!

You haven't seen the change in her.

Evelyn, my hands are tied.

Do you understand what I'm telling you?

My hands are tied!

I'm not throwing my weight around.

I'm begging you. Take her off the case!

Evelyn...

She's become fatalistic, resigned.

She knows this will end violently.

I'm afraid she wants to follow her husband.

[Sighs]

[Phone ringing]

Hello?

I know what's knocking around

inside that head of yours, Kate.

"What does he want?

"What does Kyle want?

"All this risk, and for what?"

Why don't you tell me so we can get this over with?

$20 million, offshore.

There. Ha!

Now you can't be so dismissive.

I don't think even the Senator has that kind...

I know exactly how much money he can raise.

So you tell him his Presidential chances

aren't so good if he's missing one of his kids.

Can't protect his own.

Three days.

Three days. My God...

Did we get anything from the interview

with the mother, Mrs. Randall?

Well, it's actually Mrs. Dobbs. Claire Dobbs.

- Claire Dobbs. - Mm-hmm.

Let me have a look at that

Do you know that woman?

Have you ever seen her?

No. No.

Take your time.

I said no.

So, this is the woman who produced that monster, huh?

With your permission, sir,

I'd like to get back home and update the list.

Ah. Yes, Malcolm, go. Go.

Detective, I'd like to speak to Henry alone

for a few moments,

so if you'll excuse us...

- Of course. - Henry...

Kate said that when she and Dobson

were looking at the arraignment tape,

Kyle appeared to be watching someone in the courtroom.

- Yeah, the mother. - Yeah, that's what we thought.

But when she interviewed her,

she said she didn't go in the courtroom,

couldn't bear to see her boy in chains.

So, who was Kyle looking at?

Only one way to find out.

Start over. Let's run the tapes.

[Phone ringing]

[Knocking on door]

Detective, come in.

Ah, please, forgive me, I'm in a bit in a rush.

- Is that the list? - The A list, yeah.

These are the people you call

when you're down 10 points

or there's been a kidnapping in the family.

The Senator has an open run through the primaries

if we can survive this.

I wanted to ask you a question back at the house.

What is it?

Well, when the Senator saw the photo of Mrs. Dobbs,

judging by his reaction,

I can't help but think he's seen her before,

Hmm.

This isn't info you wanna keep from me.

Her life is at stake.

I would do anything for Karen,

but I don't know this woman.

I never heard her name.

And as for the Senator, I don't know.

Well, you're close with the family.

Could you try and find out for me?

[Exhales]

Malcolm...

Yes. Yes, I'll try.

OK. OK.

How did you locate her?

We found her on surveillance footage from the courthouse.

- Surveillance? - Yeah, we reviewed the tapes.

Saw that she'd gone to her son's arraignment.

Hold it.

Zoom in on that, would you?

Can you give me another angle on this guy?

Yeah. Just give me a little time.

Coffee's ready. Can I get you a cup?

No, thank you.

So, you think that she might be involved in this?

Well, she's not his accomplice,

but I am convinced he had one.

Why's that?

On the phone,

Kyle addressed Special Agent Hollings by name.

Who else knew he headed up the FBI team?

Those of us who are working the case.

But who among us would give that information to Randall?

That's a good question.

I'm curious, is that a disposable phone?

Yeah, I like it. It's cheap.

Can I check your calls? It's procedure.

Yeah, sure. No problem.

Just so we can say we were thorough.

[Beeping]

Ahh!

[Kate grunting]

Ahh!

[Exhales]

I made a lunch.

You know, losing weight won't help get that off.

It won't slide over your ankle bone.

It's very good mushroom soup.

You've gotta be hungry.

Why? Why?

[Door slamming]

Why did you do it! Huh? Why? Why?

Calm down. What are you talking about?

What is it?

Caitlyn!

She knew that there were two of us

because you had to show off how bloody clever you are,

letting that FBI puke know that you knew his name!

Hollings!

Calm down, Malcolm. Just calm down!

I mean, she asked herself,

who... who knew these things that would pass them on to you?

Huh? Not very damn many, now don't you think?

She had my phone. Our calls are on there!

I mean, 5 seconds, 5 seconds.

She would have pulled her gun! I had to.

I had to do it. I didn't have a choice.

I had to do it!

Had to do what, Malcolm?

I shot her! She's dead!

And then I got in the car

and drove over here to let you know

how much I appreciate your priceless arrogance!

I want you to go home.

And we'll leave the cleaning up to later tonight.

Please, Malcolm.

I want you to pretend like nothing has happened.

Everything will get back on track.

Go, Malcolm.

Go, Malcolm!

He lied to me.

Oh, she speaks!

Are you going to kill me?

[Gun cocks]

No, sweetheart. No.

Malcolm, he's... He's very fond of you.

In fact, you're the only one he likes.

He can't stand the rest of the bunch.

Malcolm lied to me.

He trapped me.

Karen... Karen...

I'm sorry.

Your friend Scott,

he's been in an accident.

He's badly hurt. He's outside.

He needs to see you.

- What? - I'm sorry.

- Scott, he's outside? - Yeah.

You have to see him.

[Karen]: I didn't think. I just ran!

[Exhales]

Why did he help you?

Malcolm?

He was in debt up to his eyes.

He needed money...

and lots of it.

Is that what you want? The money?

[Laughing]

Oh...

Yes! I got another angle on him.

What was he doing in the courthouse that day?

911. What's your emergency?

Officer in need of assistance.

Detective Connor, shield number, uh...

1136.

I'm at Westmount Avenue... near Laurel.

I'm injured.

[Ringing]

This is Detective Connor...

Dammit!

[Breathing heavily]

Oh God!

[Car alarm beeping]

[Breathing heavily]

[Car alarm beeping]

How did you come to be adopted?

That's a pretty dumb question.

Your parents didn't want you?

You were an accident?

Your daddy has 3 accidents.

I suppose you had 2 loving parents.

I'm sure they're proud of you.

[Tires screeching]

[Horn honking]

Dammit, dammit, dammit! Oh...

[Horn honking]

[Tires screeching]

Oh God!

Malcolm!

- Ahh... - Malcolm, where are they?

[Groaning]

Please, it's not too late.

You gotta help me out here.

Please, Malcolm, for Karen. Where are they?

[Grunting]

Come on! Pick up! Where are you, Malcolm?

Come on! Goddammit!

Stupid, stupid man!

Ah...

Change of plans, all right?

We're gonna get out of here, OK?

OK?

[Sirens blaring]

Cover the back!

- [Officer 1]: Clear! - [Officer 2]: Clear!

Oh...

Oh, Jesus...

[Cell ringing]

McDermott.

Frank!

Thank God! Where are you?

OK, listen to me,

you wait for backup, you hear me?

You wait for backup!

I'm on my way!

Henry, it's Kate.

OK, we're gonna have to get out of here.

I'm gonna let you out,

but you have to promise you'll be a good girl,

all right?

Kyle! Kyle, let her go.

Let her go!

Oh, Kate...

you look awful.

Malcolm's dead.

But he talked. I know who you are.

And I know what this is about.

You know nothing, OK?

I don't just want his money!

I wanna break him!

Is that what this was about?

All those men you killed?

You were just killing your father?

It was an honest mistake.

Can you imagine my surprise

when I found out he's a millionaire,

a senator, God's anointed?

And he has a house the size of Rhode Island.

And you think that there was room for me?

No.

No, he threw me out.

He threw me out with the garbage, Kate!

When did the old man find out who it was

that kidnapped his precious little daughter?

When he heard your mother's name.

[Kyle laughing]

Oh God, would I would have loved

to have seen his face!

The chickens are home to roost!

This place just got crowded!

Kyle, let go of her. Let go of Karen.

OK, look... Putting my gun down.

If you give her to us,

we're gonna let you walk, all right?

Oh yeah?

What about our friend here with the gun?

Yeah, he works for the Senator.

He was sent here to get Karen.

In a few minutes, this place is gonna be swarming with cops.

And they will get you, Kyle!

So let her go and give her to me!

She's telling the truth.

All we want is Karen.

Come on.

Please.

You can walk.

Come on.

[Grunting]

Kyle...

[Breathing heavily]

Remember me, all right? 'Cause I'll never forget you.

[Gun firing]

[Kyle grunting]

I knew he was here to kill me,

just in case you didn't.

[Kyle gasping]

You came in here and you put your gun down.

What about revenge?

I came here for Karen.

I'll never... I'll never understand you, Kate.

No, Kyle. You won't.

[Gasping]

[Inhales, exhales]

Just a word before you go in to see them.

Kyle was telling the truth, wasn't he?

You were sent to kill him, to keep him quiet.

Randall was a sick psychopath who couldn't be trusted.

No, no, I'm not buying any of that.

The Senator had a momentary indiscretion,

but the woman got pregnant.

Everybody knew Kristie couldn't.

So, how to hide a biological son?

He doesn't. He pays her off. Problem solved.

But then the son grows up.

He starts making noise, and he needs to be put down.

You don't know what you're talking about.

All of this, all of it is going in my report.

You've never seen a real cover-up before, have you?

[Laughing]

There's machinery in place to protect people like the Senator.

You can play Girl Scout.

You can shout from the rooftops.

It won't change anything.

Kyle's dead, the mother's silenced.

And you are a detective too emotionally involved in the case

to make sound judgments.

Go with the flow, Kate.

Take a promotion.

Know that Jamie is avenged.

It's been a good day.

You look good. You look like you get some rest.

Sweetheart...

Ahh...

Some debts cannot be paid in any coin.

Not even with a lifetime of gratitude. Thank you.

Perhaps we could have a word.

Absolutely. Sweetheart, stay with your mom.

- OK. - After you.

Under the circumstances,

I can't charge Henry with murder.

But you know he murdered Kyle.

Kyle Randall was the murderer.

He killed your husband. He kidnapped my daughter.

He wasn't killed for his crimes.

He was killed for being your son.

I trust that you'll keep your opinions to yourself

and none of this will be in your report.

My report will be like every other report I've ever filed:

all the facts as they are known to me.

All the facts.

So naiïve.

Your report will be written for you.

It'll have your signature on it.

You will not bring my personal integrity into question.

Do not force me to bring the full power of my office

into play here.

Do you understand me?

I'll destroy you.

I will destroy you.

I got your report.

We had to make some changes, regarding the Senator and Kyle.

Look, a lot of heat came down on this.

Bottom line is,

the story was altered.

The case is closed.

I'm sorry.

Frank, I respect the chain of command.

More importantly, I respect you,

and I would never do anything to cross you.

I know.

OK, so understand that I had nothing to do with this.

- Then who leaked this? - Kyle.

He sent detailed letters to his attorneys

to be mailed in the event of his death.

They went to papers all over the country.

He had the last word.

[Exhales]
