Have you seen my keys?

You know you don't have to go.

Please listen to me.

You weren't invited. It's not a good idea.

I have to go.

- Rob...
- It'll be okay. I promise.

I'll be back in a few.

Call me when you leave?

I will.

Kyle leaving so early fills our hearts
with sadness,

and perhaps even anger.

We may want to seek vengeance,

but that is not what Kyle would want,

and that is not why we are here today.

We come together to honor the dead,

and to find love and support in the living.

We are here to rember Kyle

for the man he was and how he touched each
and every one of us.

Let's all bow our heads. Let us pray.

Our Father, who art in heaven,

hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come.

Thy will be done on earth
as it is in heaven...

The services lasted till 10:00 a.m.

After, we held the reception
in the Friendship Hall.

So, no one on your staff
reported any problems?

- No. Here's the guestbook.
- Okay.

Now, did you, uh, see this man
at the service?

Uh, he looks familiar, but I don't know.
I'm not sure.

Okay, I'm gonna need to speak with everyone
on your staff to see if they saw him.

- Absolutely. We don't want any problems.
- Thank you.

Any luck?

No. Actually, I don't think
there's much luck around here.

That's not funny.

All right, anyway, I got some information
on our missing person.

???Simms is the COO of a company
that charters private jets.

He was attending a funeral for
one of his mechanics that died in a fire.

What happened?

Apparently, he was doing some routine maintenance
on one of the company's jets

when a fire broke out, and some of the employees
think that Rob's to blame.

As a matter of fact, Rob got into
a shouting match with one of them--

a guy named Dale Kinecki.

Yeah, he's right here.
He was at the funeral.

How many people signed that guestbook?

Uh... say about 40? I don't know.

Maybe Kinecki got a little help
from his friends.

WITHOUT A TRACE S07 E08

00:14:52,300
I could invite some others if you want.

No, you and me is fine.

The most boring car
the US government can provide.

A convertible's no good for you. You'll
get sunburn. Bad for your skin.

Yeah, but good for our soul.

Where are we staying tonight?

Some motel chain down by the airport.
The paperwork is in the car.

- The room is confirmed.
- "Room"?

Well, you know, with the government
cutbacks and everything...

I'm kidding, kidding.

- Rooms, plural.
- Just checking.

His name's Roger Davis.

I'm sorry, he doesn't look familiar.

Why would my brother be talking
to a police detective?

I don't know.

When did you say he came back to L.A.?

Last night.

???I've never seen that guy.

Or that one. What do they have
to do with my son?

Well, we found Rob's
driver's license in a crack den.

We know he used to have a drug problem.

Do you think he might be using again?

I really don't anything
about what he's up to.

Robby's been clean since he left town.

You're sure?

No. I guess not.

When was the last time that you saw him?

Couple of months ago. We had coffee
at the Santa Monica Airport.

He was in town buying
some jets for his company.

He seemed perfectly fine.

How long since you've seen him?

It's been years.

And why is that?

We don't get along. Never did, really.

I think he "bristled" is the nice way
to say it,

at my parenting style.

Uh-huh. So you were a hard-ass.

When my son was younger,
he was a screw-up.

I felt like I had to put my foot down.

When Rob comes to town, he calls,
but he doesn't come over.

And that's because of the relationship
with your father.

Yeah.

When was the last time
he actually called you?

Last week.

He asked about some boxes of his we had
in the attic, but I'd thrown them out.

Do you know what he was looking for?

No.

They were from his old room, so I just
figured he'd gotten sentimental.

Do you think it has anything to do
with why he came back to L.A.?

It's possible.

Can you think of any reason why
he might come to Los Angeles?

No.

Um, you can call me if you think of anything,
if you have any questions.

Rob's a good man.

I'm sure he is.

Okay, thanks.

One of the L.A. suspects claims
that he found Rob's bag in the street.

Just lying there?

That's what he says. Who knows?

Anyway, LAPD is going to focus
their canvass in that area.

All right, well, that cop Rob was hunting
down is being taken to Interview 1.

- Maybe he'll tell us the truth.
- I love it when you get optimistic.

30 HOURS MISSING

Did you know Mr. Simms from
when you lived in L.A.?

No. I'd never seen the guy
until a few days ago.

Then why did he contact you?

Double homicide. Happened back
in '92, '93.

Couple.

Both stabbed to death in their own home.

Names were Bill and Emily Jackson. They
lived out in the Hancock Park area of L.A.

Their daughter found them.

I thought he was one of those
junior detective types,

the kind that are obsessed
with unsolved cases.

But there was a little more to it.

So... you never had any good suspects?

The papers had it right.

We had a few in the beginning,

but we never got any real traction.

The murders were 15 years ago.

Why the interest now?

I, uh...I used to live in L.A.

And I think I might have seen something.

What'd you see?

I'm not sure.

Well, tell me what you know and I'll
help you figure out if it's relevant.

I'm not ready to do that yet.
I want to make sure that I'm right.

How are you going to do that?

I kept a notebook.

I just want to get it and make sure
that I'm rembering everything correctly.

Look...

Here's the name of a detective
still working for the LAPD.

He was a patrolman working on the case.

Call him whenever you're ready.

I will.

Why didn't you come forward
15 years ago?

I wanted to pretend it never happen.

But something recently
stirred up some memories.

Whoever did that to those people,
it wasn't right.

I know.

I checked with my friend on the force.

He never called.

So your suspects, um, not enough proof,
or just threads that didn't pan out?

The latter.

Whoever did it was invisible,
at least as far as we were concerned.

Did he ever call you again?

That was it.

I'll tell you, he had his facts
down about the case.

He had done his homework.

I'm just saying that if we had GPS,
we would have gotten here 20 minutes ago.

What, men don't ask directions?

That is a clich that is beneath you.

- You got lost.
- If you say so.

You got lost.

Special Agent Malone, FBI.
This is Special Agent Spade.

This is Gil. He saw your guy.

- Hi, Gil.
- I didn't do anything.

Why don't you tell me something
that makes me believe that, Gil.

I was collecting empties.

Get in the car.

- Just get in the car.
-I know what this is about.

- I'm not doing this...
- Turn around.

Now get in the car.

All right, all right, all right.

He left the backpack there.
I just took the cash.

I mean, if I didn't grab it,
someone else would have.

That's true.

Thanks for your time, Gil.

Excuse us.

I have a feeling whoever took Rob,
it wasn't the L.A. welcome wagon.

Well, somebody didn't want him
poking around in that murder.

???Thanks, Detective.

Davis didn't recognize the sketch of the guy
who pulled Rob off the street.

I'm not surprised, considering LAPD
had no real suspects for the murder.

But I'm not buying that this guy's
not connected to the whole thing.

But what's motivating this guy
to come forward after 15 years?

- Guilt over the dead mechanic?
- Oh, come on.

I know it's very Psych 101,
but it's the best I got.

Okay, LAPD faxed over the case summary
and police reports from the Jackson murders.

- Who found them?
- The daughter.

She came back from a sleepover
and the back door was open.

Now, a ten-inch knife was missing.

from the Jackson's kitchen set,
which is consistent with their wounds.

The police labeled it a robbery gonewrong.

The killer tried to clean up his path in
and out of the house,

so he was concerned about getting caught.

He certainly didn't want to leave
any witnesses.

The wife has knife wounds to her back.

The killer definitely chased her down.

They get any good forensics?

The husband had a piece
of torn T-shirt in his hand.

The DNA sample didn't match anyone in the
database or any of their acquaintances.

So the question here is: Can we tie Simms
or anybody he knows to the dead couple?

That's why I made copies.

Hey, Ma, it's Samantha. I'm calling
to check on Finn, see how he's doing.

Um, hope he got into his bath okay.
I just, uh...

You know, why don't you just call me?

Okay, bye.

- Hey.
- Hey.

LAPD is releasing a photo of Simms,

at all the divisions and substations,
along with an alert about the murder.

Anybody that knows anything
has to call us.

So what? We're just gonna...wait?

Well, we could drive around.

You know, L.A. is 400 square miles.

We'll hit something eventually.

What are we doing here, Jack?

We're, you know, um...

standing here in L.A., waiting for
somebody to tell us where to go.

As a metaphor, that's fine;
as an answer, it stinks.

Then I would go with the metaphor.

You didn't bring me 3,000 miles
to drink bad coffee and wait around.

Probably not.

You know how I feel about you, right?

How I've always felt about you?

And the truth is, before I had a baby,

it would've been fine for us to come here
and have a... a good time.

But our good time always ends up messy
and it's too hard to pick up the pieces.

I'm not trying to make it hard.

I need stability, consistency...
I don't even need it.

My child needs it.

Don't answer that.

Look, two seconds, you can call him back.
Let's finish this conv...

Hello?

Jack, the dead couple's daughter lives about
a quarter-mile from where Simms was abducted.

What's the address?

That would be 1850 Sixth Street.

- Her name is Ali Jackson.
- Okay.

Yes, he was here, but I have
no idea where he is now.

I believe that Rob Simms came here
to talk to you about your parents.

I don't want to talk about that anymore.
There's been too much talking.

You know, I understand that this
is very difficult for you,

but we've got to find this guy.

He's got family and friends
who are home worried and waiting for him.

Anything you can tell us will help.

It's funny...they always stop by,
thinking they're doing me a favor.

- I don't want to stir things up.
- Then why are you here?

I might have information
that you'd want to know.

Every couple of months,
some crackpot like you,

reads about it on the Internet
and shows up.

What's your spin?

Aliens did it? The Zodiac Killer?

- I don't have a spin.
- Then leave me alone.

Why won't all of you leave me alone?

I... I just wanted to help.
I'm-I'm sorry. I...

Help?

Find the guy who murdered my parents
and kill him yourself.

Save me sitting through a trial.

I went in and called Detective Wells.

When I looked outside again,
the guy was gone.

Detective Wells?

Yeah. He had called me that morning.

He told me that someone might stop by
to talk about my parents,

and he asked me to call him if they did.

Is that the guy?

I don't know. We never met.

He just called that one time.

Okay. We're going to need
the number that you called.

Does this... really have
something to do with my parents?

The truth is, we don't know yet,

but as soon as we do,
I promise you, we'll let you know.

So there is no Detective Wells
in the LAPD.

But, listen, the number she called
belongs to an Ed Wells,

and he looks exactly like the sketch
we have of the man who took Rob.

He is an ex-con.

He did time for armed robbery, and he's
been out on the streets for 17 years.

That doesn't mean he's clean.
It just means he hasn't been caught.

How did Ed Well know
that Simms was in L.A.?

I mean, did you find any contact
between the two of them?

Uh, not between them, but I pulled
several months of phone records

and Wells talks to Rob's father
almost every day.

Thank you.

Ed loves Rob.

I've got witnesses who say otherwise.

They must've seen it wrong.

Ed practically raised my brother.

When Robb had his drug troubles, Ed took
him in and got him straightened out.

Oh, tough love.

Must be something he learned in prison.

Ed did his time.

When he got out of prison, my dad gave
him money to start a landscaping business.

He's had no trouble ever since.

Where's your father now?

I don't know. He left not long after
you were here.

After Ed called?

Yes.

Do you know what they talked about?

Your brother is in town, claiming to
know something about a 15-year-old murder.

Ed Wells took him off the street,
we think to keep him quiet.

So unless you want Rob to end up dead,
you should start telling us what you know.

Rob said something...a long time ago.

But he was so screwed up,
I just assumed that he was lying.

I'm watching it.

It's gross.

- Let's play a video game or something.
- I want to watch it.

Why?

Do you know where Dad was
the other night?

The other night those people died?

What does it matter?

He just...He said something strange.

Wake up.

- What? Leave me alone.
- Get up.

What is wrong with you?

I want you to listen to me
and listen hard.

If anyone asks you
where you were last night,

you were with me, here. You got it?

Who's gonna ask me about...?

Just... Just do what I tell you.

- Now go upstairs.
- Fine.

I was with you.

It's weird, right?

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

God, he's acting crazy, and I saw blood,
it was on his shirt. I did.

Dad didn't do anything!

But what if he did,
shouldn't we let someone know?

What goes through your drugged-up brain
that makes you hate us so much.

I don't hate you.

Watch whatever you want.

Rob was always so angry at Dad.

I just figured he was trying
to get back at him for something.

Did he ever mention it again?

No. He went to live with Ed
a couple weeks later.

Did your father have any connection
with the murdered couple?

Not that I know of.

Excuse me.

Why would he do anything to them?

I don't know.

Spade.

Uh, okay. We'll be right there.

LAPD just picked up her father
and Ed Wells.

Rob was not with them.

32 HOURS MISSING

All right, which one do you want?

Murdering father?
Or kidnapping best friend?

How about I take whoever's telling the truth.

All right. Rock, paper, scissors.

????

it takes a pretty special friend
to cover up a murder that you committed.

Neither one of us would hurt my son.

So what is it about having Rob abducted
that makes you innocent exactly?

He came to L.A. to confront you
about the Jacksons, correct?

He was at the house this morning.

You killed those people.

- No, I didn't.
- Yes, you did.

You killed those people and you
wanted me to lie about it.

You were screwed up back then, Rob.

We were watching TV
the night those folks died.

When did we ever watch TV together?

Nothing good can come
from dredging up the past.

Yes, it can.

I can finally leave you behind.

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

Well, then I'll go find out.

All right, I'll talk to people, and I'll
find out what exactly I'm remembering.

Rob! Just...

For your own sake,

don't ask any more questions.

Just... let it go.

I tried.

I've been running from your lie
half my life.

But I'm not lying for you or anyone.

Not anymore.

And I never saw him after that.

But you had Ed pick him up, right?

Yes.

Why is that?

Because you murdered the Jackson couple?

They were landscape clients of Ed's.

He talked about how rich they were.

I need money.

The house was dark. I didn't think
they were home.

Things got out of hand.

Oh, you think? You only stabbed them 15 times.

I didn't mean to hurt anyone.

Ed, Charlie's already confessed.

Listen, I get it, he's your friend.
You wanted to stop Rob from talking.

So when Charlie sent you after him,
you did what you had to.

- It's not that simple.
- Nothing ever is.

But I can tell you this for sure.

LAPD has crime scene DNA in the freezer.
They are going to convict him.

So you have a choice:

Keep protecting Charlie,
or start protecting yourself.

Charlie didn't do anything.

Look, I'm sorry about the gun, Rob.

But I need you to listen to me.

You gotta stop asking questions.

I know you feel indebted to him, Ed,
because of all he's done for you.

But he killed those people.

What's in the past should stay there.

- Yeah, that's what my dad said.
- And he's right.

People like their daughter,
we need to let them move on.

I don't want to hurt her,

but I've got to go to the police.

- Don't do that.
- I can't keep quiet any longer.

Stop. Look, I'm telling you,
he didn't do it.

How can you be sure?!

Huh?!

How can you be sure?!

Because you did it. You killed them.

What?

What do you mean?

You were high on PCP.

You helped me with their landscaping job.

When you came home, covered in blood...

...you were talking about the rich people.

Your dad knew something...

horrible had happened.

So he cleaned it up.

And when he was sure that you didn't rember
a thing, he sent you to live with me.

He knew he hadn't been the
father that you deserved.

He just...wanted you to have a chance
to turn your life around.

I killed them?

I killed them.

You're a good man. You weren't yourself.

Get out.

- No, Rob, let's just go home...
- Just get out!

- Rob, don't do this.
- Get out.

Don't do this, Rob.

Rob!

Rob! Rob! Rob!

I called Charlieright away and...

we looked everywhere we could think of,
but we couldn't find him.

We're going to need a nationwide APB.

Lifeguard found this inside
a pair of shoes,

along with keys to a truck and
a money clip with about $200 in it.

Suicide note.

Truck in the parking lot?

Yeah. It's the one from the APB.

Okay, thanks.

Looks like he decided to take
a long swim until he got tired.

"For what I have done,
there can be no forgiveness."

That's a...

That's a hard way to go.

Mm-hmm.

I kind of like Los Angeles.

I don't know what it is. There's something
sort of peaceful about it.

Yeah, it could be the fact that
everybody here goes to bed at 8:30.

Yeah, well, at least it's warm. It's,
like, 40 degrees back in New York.

Hey, cold helps slow down
the aging process.

Would you like to try some of this?

Come here. Ready?

I really want this to work.

I would like to be all the
things that you need me to be.

But there's a lot of stuff in my life
that I need to clear up.

Apparently my daughter
has been acting up.

She's got a boyfriend her mother hates,
and she got caught smoking pot.

So we decided that, uh,

Hannah should come and live
with me in New York for a while.

Change of scenery.

It scares the crap out of me.

Every time somebody I care about
relies on me,

I just shut down.

You can do anything
that you set your mind to.

That's the the sunstroke talking.

No. No.

- What if I screw it up?
- You won't.

You can't.

You have to figure it out
this time, Jack, because...

your daughter's depending on you.

And for you and your son.

Yeah, there's that.
