Daddy!

- Daddy!
- Caleb!

Caleb, wait right there,I'm coming for you.

Here I come!

- Daddy.
- Stay right there, okay?

Daddy

caleb, wait right there.
I got to get your brother, jaden.

- Daddy, don't leave me!
- Wait right there, caleb.

Okay, jaden, hold on.

Hold on, I'm coming right there.

Jaden, daddy's coming for you.

Wait right there.

Daddy!

Jaden!

Daddy, help me.

Daddy, help me.

Daddy, help me, daddy.

Help me, daddy.

No kiss?

I wanted to get an early start.
I didn't want to wake you.

I'm awake now.

Call me when you get there, okay?

All right, as soon as I get settled.

The arson investigator said that
the fire started somewhere here

in the center of the truck,
not in the engine or the gas tank.

Any sign of an accelerant?

They're running some tests but

he's pretty sure that's what
they're going to find.

This windshield was smashed in.

A fire like that would have just melted it.

- What time did nypd call it in?
- About 3:00 A.M.

They called his wife, um... cherise.

She told them he'd left their motel
in queens yesterday morning

headed to a temporary construction job
in new jersey.

This isn't on the way to jersey.

Yeah, well, they relocated to new york

from new orleans after the hurricane,

so maybe he got lost
and ended up with a bad samaritan.

Listen, do they have any kind of security patrols,
any surveillance cameras?

No, not that we found,

but most of the people use guard dogs
around here.

Man, first flood, then fire.

If it wasn't for bad luck,
this guy would have no luck at all.

So he was headed to new jersey?

I'm not sure after he got let go...
could you stop it?

After he got let go...

- stop.
- Caleb gibbs, please!

Now I know that you're upset about daddy,

but you being mean to jaden
won't make you feel better.

- I'm sorry.
- No, that's okay.

Mrs. Gibbs, why don't I take the guys
for some fresh air.

I'm sure that's not part
of your job description.

You'd be surprised.

All right, go on. Hurry up.

All right, let's go.

Let's go.

I think somebody needs to go on a diet.

It's been hard on them.

All of us packed into this little room

and now aaron...

speaking of aaron,you said he lost his job.

three days ago.

Did he say why?

He broke something.

I... I don't understand why
it was such a big deal.

Things like that happen all the time.

I can't believe they would fire you
over dropping some stupid doors.

Does chuck know?

I don't want any more favors.

- Aaron, we need the money.
- Don't you think I know that?

- I'm sorry.
- It's okay.

Hey, I was...

I was at the library today
getting the boys some books.

I came across this article on greenville,
south carolina.

What's in greenville?

Plenty of skilled jobs,

cheap housing.

We don't know anybody in south carolina.

Look, we're on the short list
for that apartment.

I'm about to be certified as a nurse's aid.

This is just temporary.

Well, I'm tired of temporary.

I'm tired of wearing other people's clothes.
I'm tired of charity jobs.

I'm tired of having to watch my boys
play in some parking lot.

Baby, moving is not going to change that.

Baby, we can do this together.

We just need time.

and then, the next day,

he told me he found a temporary job
in new jersey.

- But he didn't say where in new jersey?
- No.

- Who's chuck?
- He's aaron's cousin.

He runs the construction company.

He gave aaron a job.
That's why we moved here.

You know, I hate to ask this,
but it's part of my job,

so I'm just going to go ahead and do it.

Aaron was frustrated,
he lost his job.

Do you think it's possible he just ran off?

Aaron risked his life to save his kids

and he went back to save others.

He is not a man who runs off.

Right.

viv, I can't find any calls from the motel's
pay phone that relate to a job in new jersey.

- How about his cell phone?
- They don't have one.

What does this look like to you?

A leg?

- Where was it?
- Under the wiper blade.

It's like one of those advertising cards
for a concert or a strip club.

Whoever put it there,
might have seen what happened.

That at's a seven-color printing,so

it could have been done anywhere.

It's going to be really difficult to track down
who ordered them.

But if they were passed around
the neighborhood

we might find some on other windshields
or in a dumpster.

Okay, I'll have someone check it out. Thanks

A lot of my extended family
came up here after the storm.

And aaron and cherise
are the only ones who stayed.

Was he a good employee?

He had a cabinet business
back in new orleans.

He could do this job with his eyes closed.

- Then why'd you fire him?
- I didn't fire him.

He told his wife that he was let go.

Tony. Tony.

Look, I shuttle back and forth between
four different job sites.

I don't do the day to day management.

These guys are from the fbi.
They're looking for aaron.

I haven't seen him since he quit.

He wouldn't quit. He needed this job.

He's nuts, chuck.

What do you mean by nuts?

Three days ago,we were blowing up
two stories of reinforced concrete.

After the blast signal,
I did the final check.

Aaron was nowhere to be seen,
so I went looking for him.

Aaron.

Aaron, why the hell are you still in here?

I found some copper piping.
I thought we could recycle it.

Didn't you hear the blast warning?

No.

- How could you not?
- I didn't hear it, all right?

Well, then get the wax out of your ears.

You almost got yourself killed.

Well, you saved me,so everything is cool.

- What's up with you?
- Nothing.

You heard the blast signal, didn't you?

What the hell are you talking about?

You want to kill yourself?

I'll give you five bucks to go to the
top of the empire state building

but you're not going to do it here.

Packed up and left an hour later.

And you had no idea this was going on?

No.

I'm sorry, chuck.
I didn't think it was my place.

No, I got it. It's okay.

Is there anything else?

No, I think that's it for now.

Thank you.

Come here, let me talk to you.

Uh, hey, guys...

what do you keep in these blue bottles
over here?

Paint thinner.

I'm pretty sure we found the melted version

of those in the bed of his truck.

I think we did.

What if this guy killed himself

and tried to make it
look like something else happened?

It's possible.

Call the harbor patrol.

Have them check out the river
around whitestone bridge

and see if we can dredge up the body.

Aaron gibbs. No.

Sorry, I don't know him.

What time were you putting
these promo cards on windshields?

- Where'd you find it?
- The bronx.

I don't go out there.

I stay in lower manhattan,
sometimes brooklyn.

So, whoever picked it up,
picked it up in one of those places.

Oh, well we found four more
in a nearby dumpster.

Isn't it amazing how all those people
from manhattan

and brooklyn all drove to the same place?

Go figure.

You sure the women on your web site
are all over 18?

I mean, you know what happens
if one of them isn'T.

What do you want?

I want to know if you've seen him.

There's a fight club in a warehouse nearby.

It's a smut superstar kind of crowd,

so I go by, I paper some cars,
I stay for the fights.

And how does gibbs figure in all that?

He gets in the ring.

a bit later, I smelled smoke.

When I went outside,the truck was on fire.

What's the name of the man who grabbed him?

Name's fletcher.

He organizes the fights
and the gambling on the side.

Any idea why he had a problem with gibbs?

I don't like to stick my nose
where it don't belong.

That look familiar?

It should,because that's your jacket
and it's soaked with paint thinner.

So?

So that's what you used to torch
aaron gibbs truck.

Wasn't me.

We got a witness, saw you drag him
from the fight club.

Now I really don't know
what you're talking about.

First rule of fight club,
don't talk about fight club.

well, how many of these illegal fights
have you staged?

Because you do know
that the fine is $10,000 per fight.

So just tell us what happened
when you dragged him outside.

He stole money from me.

I just wanted it back.

Bunch of money's missing
from the cash drawer.

Billy saw you walk away from the office.

Yeah, well, billy's wrong.

Nobody else was back there.

Give me that!

That's not mine!

You tell me where my money is.

you need money this bad?

Come on, come on. Don't do that, okay?

Look, I'd give you the money if I could.

Have a nice ride home.

We left him. I didn't see him after that.

Is there anyone else who can confirm that,

besides the guys that were with you?

I can give you a few names.

A few. A few is three.

I'm gonna need more than that.

So how much money was missing?

Couple thousand bucks.

Must have hid it somewhere before the fight.

You threatened to set him on fire.

Do you honestly think
that he wasn't going to give it back?

They guy fights without gloves for 50 bucks.

Who knows what he would have done
for that kind of money?

No, I am not going to say anything
to your parole officer,

but you have to promise me, honey,
that you're not going to do it again.

Okay.

All right, the promoter's story checks out.

There was a fire, he and his thugs went right back
into the fight club.

And the guy I just talked to
reported his car stolen last night.

Well, why wasn't that on the nypd log?

Because he's on parole and
he's not supposed to be at an illegal fight,

so he reported the car stolen from his home,

along with his cell phone
that he left in the front seat.

How'd you get consent to look through
his phone records?

What can I say?
He loved my accent and my voice.

- I like your voice and your accent.
- Yeah, right.

Okay, let me see...

yeah, there's a 15 second phone call
at 9:00 P.M. That night.

To who?

I got a call, but, uh,

I didn't recognize the caller I.D.
So I let it roll over to voicemail.

Did you check the message?

Static.

Uh, I couldn't hear anything.

Mr. Barr, at this point,there are too
many things that you know nothing about.

What do you mean?

Well, you didn't know
that your own cousin was suicidal

you don't seem to know much about a
phone call you received the night he went missing.

so, either you're lying
or you're being stupid.

You want to talk about the phone call?

Why, so you can pick him up
and throw him in jail?

You think he deserves to be in jail?

He's a black man,does it matter?

Does your cousin love his wife and kids?

yeah, more than anything.

Well, then, wouldn't it make sense
that he'd want to go home and be with them?

Look, wherever you think he is,

something has gone wrong.

So why don't we just cut to the chase?

Let's talk about the phone call.
You talked to him, right?

Yeah.

What'd you talk about?

He told me he wanted to come by and see me.

Hey.

Hey.

What happened to you?
They cold?

Cold enough.

listen, I need you to do me a favor.

What's going on?

I need you to look after cherise
and the kids for me.

Something I got to do.

You in trouble?

I just need you to look after cherise
and the kids.

Sure.

You know, I know a lot of our people
are hanging their heads

'cause their homes washed away.

I know it must be hard to lose everything.

I didn't ask for your pity.

No, no, you're asking me to take care
of your business.

You ever think about what happened,
maybe it happened for a reason?

I mean, like it was a test?

It was a weather pattern, aaron.

I mean, it didn't happen to you,
it just happened.

You know, nothing you do

is going to bring back what you had.

The only test you have is cherise
and the kids and this new life.

I need you to think about that.

I just need you to look after my family,
okay?

So, uh, I gave him a change of clothes
and he left.

- Where was he going?
- He didn't say.

Were you aware that he stole $2,000?

No.

Any idea why he'd do that?

Well, before the hurricane,

aaron had trouble with the irs.
Now, he tried to work it out,

but it wasn't like the big easy
was a boomtown back then.

Well, we didn't find any trouble with
the irs when we did our research.

He paid it. Now, he borrowed money from, uh,

from this guy in, uh, construction finance.

What's his name?

Aaron called him, uh... big bobby.

I wouldn't have let him fight,
not if I'd known about it.

You ever notice any bruises?

He had a couple and some cuts,
he said he got them at work.

But he wouldn't let me touch him,
and I just thought...

I don't know what I thought.

Why was he doing this?

He might have tried to borrow some money

from a guy named big bobby.
Does that ring any bells to you?

No. God, it's like we're talking about someone else,
not aaron.

Is there any other way you can think of
that he might have tried to raise money-

people he could call,things he could sell.

Nobody we know has anything of value left.

What about the gold watch?

What gold watch?

your husband was seen
with a gold watch after the fight.

Apparently, it's of some value.

It was gold?

Does that mean something to you?

Well, caleb has nightmares.
They're about different things,

but there's a big,
gold clock in a lot of them

and he won't talk about it.

Would you mind if I talked to your son?

No, go ahead.

How you doing there, tiger?

Is your name caleb?

Did your mom tell you who I was?

- A policeman.
- That's right.

I'm trying to find your dad.

He left before breakfast.

Okay. That's good.

That's a good thing to know.

Did he say where he was going?

No.

Is there anything at all that you could tell me
that could help me find him?

Doesn't have to be big.

Could be a little thing.

Sometimes little things really help.

What about, uh,what about a gold watch?

Do you know anything about that?

Caleb, do you like stories?

Yeah.

Can I tell you one?

I need you to really concentrate
on my story, okay?

So can you close your eyes?

Oh, go ahead, sweetheart.

This nice lady works here
and she wants to helps us.

Go ahead. Go on.

My story is about a boy named billy.

And he's six years old,just like you.

And he spent the whole day playing baseball

and it made him really tired.

So, billy sat

under a tree, and there was a breeze,

and the leaves from the trees moved back
and forth.

It made billy even more tired.

So he decided to take a nap.

And in the cool grass,

he fell sound asleep.

Sound asleep.

Tell me about the gold watch.

Where did you see it?

In the boat.

but what will walter do
if the water comes up more?

He'll go somewhere high.

That's what hamsters do.

Where's mommy?

She's helping grandma to be safe.
We're on our way to her now.

Hey! Over here!

Hey!

thank you my god,
get me away from the roof.

give me your hand!

Come on!- Let me in!

Hold it!

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

Move over there.
Go to the roof!I'll go over there.

You'll leave me!

Daddy, make it stop!I got my kids in here!

my kids are in here, hold on!

Daddy!

Hold on, hold on!

Hey! You got to stop that!

Hey! I got my kids in here!

Let me in the boat!Stop it!

caleb, the gold watch
can't hurt you anymore...

so you can open your eyes
and feel happy and loved.

why wouldn't he tell his wife?

I have one word for you:Manslaughter.

Yeah, but it's so unlikely that anyone would
convict him for trying to protect his children.

Yeah, but he doesn't know that.

Here's the other picture
of the neighborhood.

Here is where he dropped the kids off.

Okay, and this here is aaron
and sharice's place in the ninth ward.

There's about 40 houses with broken roofs
along the way.

How would he know who the guy was?

Well, he knew what he looked like.

Yeah, but he'd still need access
to information

to track him or his family down.

Maybe he went to an internet cafe.

Library.

I know aaron.

He comes into the library all the time
to get books for his kids.

Have you seen him recently?

Uh, he was in two days ago.

Now, did he happen to use a computer
while he was there?

Yes. He was looking for a friend
from new orleans.

Aaron, I didn't realize you were still here.

The library's about to close.

Oh, uh, I'm almost done.

- Is everything okay?
- Yeah.

Listen, if I wanted to print out a picture,
what would I do?

Oh, just hit control-P.

Oh, great. Thank you.

- oh. I guess you found him.
- What?

- Your friend.
- Oh, yeah, yeah.

Is that his son?
He's very handsome.

Yeah, he is.

then he left. I haven't seen him since.

Did you happen to see anything on
the picture,a name or a number?

No. Sorry.

Okay, look, I'm gonna need to borrow
that computer.

Okay.

All right. Thanks.

Agent spade?

Where are the boys?

They're sleeping in your break room.

I thought maybe it would be okay
if I came up to get an update.

You know,
I'll make sure mrs. Gibbs gets back.

Thanks.

A policeman in new orleans
found big bobby for us.

He was running a contracting scam.

He's been in jail for the past six months.

So aaron is...

trying to find that man-

if-if he's still alive-or his family.

It looks like that, yeah.

Why hasn't he called me?

I don't know.

If he were okay,he'd call me.

You know,
you shouldn't jump to any conclusions.

- We're still working on...
- you know, I can still see it.

Even if I'm not looking at some pictures.

I lived that.

You know?

We just kept waiting.

All those days.

And after a while,the water

and the dead bodies

and the fear it was never going to end

I would have done anything to save my boys.

I can't imagine what it must have been like.

I'm sure you've seen hard things.

It's not the same.

They stay with you, don't they?

Yeah, they do.

As for what aaron did

even if he thought he had to do it

it's in his soul.

He can't let it go.

The library computers delete web histories
after one day

so I can't track the web site.

Well, can you figure out
what he threw into the print queue?

Print queues are self-flushing.

But it seems pretty obvious

he was visiting katrina clearinghouse sites

So I sent a web crawler through all of them

looking for the names
of the victims you gave me.

Well, how many did that narrow it down to?

One.

Meet joseph lewis and his son jesse.

I haven't seen jess since
your people called me.

But we're not usually awake
at the same time.

Most nights he's up,

scavenging through abandoned houses,
looking for stuff to sell.

How long has he lived here?

Couple months.

After the floods, he went to ohio,
stayed with an aunt.

Then he came back to new orleans
to look for his dad.

Did he have some reason to think
that his father was alive?

I don't think so.

I just get the feeling that,

without the body...

it's just been really hard for him
to deal with everything.

How about this guy?

The fema guy?

he was here yesterday.

He doesn't work for fema.

Why would anybody pretend they did?

That's a good way to get your ass kicked.

Well, what did he want?

He said jess had some money coming.

Hansen's sno-bliz reopened.

That's good.

Yeah.

It's still delicious. You should try it.

Jesse lewis.

Yeah, who wants to know?

Aaron gibbs.

Well, do I know you?

He works for fema.

Well, actually, I...

is there any way we can talk in private?

Be nice. He brought you money.

Money?

This must be my lucky day. How much?

Well, it's $2,000,but I need to talk to you.

There's some things that we need to...

well, why don't you just give me
the money now and we can talk later?

- Matt, you want a drink?
- I'd rather have the rent money.

I'm not gonna spend it all,
all right? I promise.

Look, I don't want to just
give you this money

until I make sure you have...

well, why is what I do any of your business?

But thanks.

I asked him if there was any money for me,
and he just said no.

And that was it?

He wanted to know what bar
jess might be headed to.

I gave him a couple of ideas,and he left.

I'm gonna need to know what those are, too.

Jack.

Found this behind a bed in jesse's room.

Looks like aaron found him.

yes, I faxed you his picture.
Did you see him last night?

Okay, thank you very much. Bye.

So what was it,a microwave?

Yeah, that's interesting.

Okay, do me a favor. You have my number.

If you see him again, call me, please.

Thank you so much.

Kid didn't go to any of the bars on my list.

Well, he had a couple of beers
at a place called easy'S.

Apparently, he's a regular.

Okay, how does a 16-year-old
become a regular at a bar?

I don't know. Lots of reasons
to drown his sorrows,

and no one to keep him from doing it.

Where does he get the money?

Well, the owner said that the kid
sometimes trades for drinks.

The microwave?

Yep. He found it inside
an abandoned home near the bar.

Hey, I think I found jesse.

If it's him, he just bought a bus ticket

that leaves new orleans in 20 minutes.

All right, listen up.

Everyone needs to step outside.

There's gonna be a short delay.

Let's go.

Not you.

Jesse lewis, right?

- What's going on?
- Fbi.

Why's everybody in my business,all of a sudden?

We think you know why.

It'd be better if you told us what happened.

Get out of my face.

Why don't you just settle down,
tell us where he is.

Aaron's a coward.

Creeping around,
pretending to be somebody he's not.

Yeah, we know that.

A watch...

and some money doesn't even begin
to make up for anything!

Yeah, your dad was worth more than that.

You're damn right he was.

Now he knows what it feels like
to be left behind.

who's there?

It's me, jesse.

What are you,
some type of queer or something?

Why you keep following me?
Why won't you leave me alone?

Look, uh, I needed to talk to you.
I wasn't straight up with you.

I don't work for the government.

Well, I'm still keeping your money.

Jesse, I need to talk to you
about your father.

What about my father?

I saw him.

You saw him where?When? When'd you see him?

That night... that the levees broke.

It doesn't help me.

Me and my boys,we were in our boat.

Why are you still talking to me, man?!

What do you want from me?!

Your father, he wanted to get in,

and I tried, I tried to help him.

But then,

the boat started rocking and I just,

I kept thinking of my sons, you know?

I kept, I kept thinking that my sons
were going to fall out.

And your father,he wouldn't let go.

Where did you get this?

It slipped off his arm.

So why didn't you give it back?

What did you do to him?

Your father's dead, jesse.

No. How do you know that?

Because I killed him.

You what?You what?!

Jesse, I'm sorry.

You think this, you think money makes
that okay?!

- That wasn't what... I just want you to understand...
- Is that you think?

understand what, huh?!

Get away!Just get away!Just get away!

look, I get it.

Listen to me, jesse,you're 16 years old.

If you let this man die,
your life is finished.

There's nothing that you two guys
can do to me

to make my life worse than it already is.

I got nothing left.

I got nothing.

mr. Gibbs? Aaron gibbs,you down there?

Yeah.

My name's jack malone from the fbi.
Are you hurt?

I don't think so.

- Can you move your legs?
- Yeah.

are you okay?

yeah.

I'm too old for this crap.

You okay?

I'll get you out of here

Just keep still.

Just keep still for a second.

I'm going to try to move this.

how you holding up?

What's gonna happen with jesse?

You know, he's a minor.

There's a number of options.

I keep thinking if...

you know, maybe if my family
had been on the roof

and his father in the boat,

things would have turned out differently.

Yeah...

you and your sons
would have died waiting for help.

Doesn't make what I did right.

Hasn't been one night in 14 months
that I've...

closed my eyes and not seen his father.

I don't know. I was just thinking,maybe,

if I came down here and talked to him.
If I...

if I just told him...

a long time ago,
when I first joined the bureau

there was, a little eight-year-old girl

who went missing on her way home
from school.

And I put in 20 hours a day for three months

just trying to find her.

And I got nothing.

And I think about her,you know, from...

from time to time...

but I think about her mother every day.

You do the best you can.

You've...

you did the best you could.

- What do I do now?
- You go back to your family.

And then what?

This way, this way.

- Are you all right?
- No.

There's no excuse
for what they let happen down there.

It's unbelievable.
