Tonight, on The Scent.

She alright?

She came in with a little package.

Your boyfriend is the Mexican heroin czar? He threatened to kill me!

This is Coast Guardsman Rucker Ellison. We are under attack. If you don't bring

her out here with my book, I burn this whole place down to the waterline.

There is no way off this island for you!

In the jungles of Peru, the fight for survival heightened his senses.

Now, Detective James Ellison is a sentinel in the fight for justice.

Seeing before others see.

Sensing what others can't.

An ever -vigilant watchman in the war against crime.

Okay there, Jim.

Rotted down as smooth as I could.

Yeah, I know. It wasn't the landing, Eddie.

It's just all those miles of open water. I got this slight phobia.

I suppose that's why you chose the Army over the Navy, right?

Good thing you boys brought your tackle boxes.

Salmon or run -in?

Can we back off and see if we can chit -chat?

Come on, Jim. Buck up.

You know, a time a man spends fishing is not deducted from his life.

Isaac Walton, the complete angler. He wrote that back in 1653.

Oh, that's great, man. So theoretically, if you fish every day, you're going to

live forever.

Sounds good to me.

Yeah, well, Sir Isaac must have run out of bait because the last time I checked,

he was still dead.

Hey, Cuts.

How you doing?

You didn't have to do this, you know, Jimmy.

Well, I...

I couldn't let you see another birthday go by on this rock alone.

Oh, this is my partner, Blair Stanenberg. This is my cousin, Rocker.

doing? Good to meet you.

I thought you were coming alone.

Well, I figured with Andy gone, you know, you'd probably need a couple extra

hands to blow out the cameras.

Who's Andy?

My first mate. Father took the second cascade. He'll be back next week.

Too bad.

So it's just going to be the four of us then, huh? No, not me.

I've got to head up to the res at the hole and drop off some medicine.

I'll pick you guys up tomorrow afternoon as long as that storm that comes in

blows over.

No way we're going to make it across this channel in a 40 -knot gale.

Hey, buddy.

Happy birthday, man.

Thanks, Eddie.

Plain brown wrapper, huh?

It's not what you think. I'll catch you later.

Take care, Eddie.

South, southeast.

Supposed to be a big one?

Well, they don't call this Storm Island for nothing, huh?

Thing came up on us fast.

Weather service had it blowing 100 miles south.

You think your launch is okay out there? Nah, she's on a hurricane anchorage.

I'm more worried about the power in here.

The lighthouse got a systems upgrade a couple of years back.

But the guard hasn't put this place on a priority list yet.

Oh, yeah. Well, here's something for your purpose.

The man who has everything.

It's for me and Sam.

Thank you.

An extendo flexo mini fishing rod.

Isn't that great?

You know, like, as seen on TV.

And speaking of which, if we're going to be cooped up in here all weekend long,

where's your television?

We don't have one.

Oh, hey.

You got an internet link on this computer here?

This is a working U .S. Coast Guard substation, kid. We pull 12 -hour

shift search and rescue, and we don't get HBO.

Oh, all right. Books on tape.

Short stories of Jack London, David Copperfield.

You know, I've always wanted to read Copperfield.

This is in Chinese.

Yeah, I'm learning Mandarin. I don't like to waste my downtime.

Don't get me wrong here. I mean, I've done some time in some pretty isolated

places myself, but how in the world did you pull a duty like this? He asked for

it. Rock's always been kind of a loner.

Who's Jennifer?

Big mistake.

I don't know what I was doing with that one, but that's not why I live here.

Hey, Rock, why don't we get down to business and play a little poker here,

That's where I can relieve you of some of that hard -earned government money.

I'll get the deck.

This guy's got to be doing 40 knots.

Go to more detail.

What is it?

Muscle machine.

Maybe a cigarette boat.

Look at that. That bleep is all over the place.

It could be pilot error or damaged craft.

Either way, we better pull her in before that storm hits.

Visibility is going to be zipped.

I think he's headed for the other side of Long Point.

We should get a visual as soon as we make the turn.

This is the Coast Guard. This is the Coast Guard calling the unknown craft.

You are traveling on an unsafe course at an unsafe speed.

Peeve 2 immediately.

Repeat, Peeve 2.

It's a sea ray running at full tilt. There's nobody at the helm.

How can you tell that without glass?

It's just a jet.

Damn.

You're right.

This is a coke gun. You read? I'm saying, do you read?

I'm going to turn for the shore. We've got to intercept before she rides up on

the rocks.

I'll pull up next to a rock and a bush if you can.

Be careful.

What are you going to do?

I'm going to board her.

What?

She all right?

I don't know. Let's bring her in.

How you feeling?

What's your name?

Monique.

Monique, what were you doing out in the middle of nowhere?

Running away.

What were you running away from?

My boyfriend.

He's a... He's a powerful man.

And what's his name?

Enrique Mendez.

He's a...

He's an investment banker.

So why were you running away from him?

Because today he started drinking.

And he said he was going to go get a gun.

When he passed outside, I slipped out a window and ran down the dock to his

boat.

Where were you going to go?

Anywhere.

I don't know. I just headed out to the open sea.

I saw the lighthouse, so I figured we'll head that way.

But then, I don't know, I hadn't slept or eaten, so I guess I just... I guess I

just passed out.

A cigarette.

Great.

Great.

I guess I'll be quitting after all.

I can teach you some meditation tips.

Help my mom out big time.

Oh, great.

Power's down.

We got propane lanterns for the light.

I'm going to have to do without everything else.

What about communications?

Well, radio link's protected.

There's a separate system coming down from the tower.

With a little sweat, we could probably jury rig something for our power down

here, but not until the weather clears.

We're just going to have to sit her out a while.

I'm going to go double up the moorings on the boats. You better finish dogging

this place down, Jimmy. Very good.

It's so cold.

Sanford, why don't you see if you can rustle her up some dry clothes?

I hope you like flounder.

Grunge looks pretty good on you.

Thanks.

I got these up in Alaska.

They might be a little big, but they should fit.

Hey, how you doing?

The Dene Indians, they swear by these things.

It's beautiful up there in Alaska.

I've never been anywhere.

I mean, well, Mexico.

What's it like?

Oh, it's beautiful.

It's beautiful. You know, I actually spent a couple months in Eniglu up

What is your full name?

St. James?

Monique St. James?

Monique St. James? You're under arrest.

What are you doing? She came in with a little package.

Heroin. Get out.

No, no, no. I swear that is not mine.

I didn't see anybody else on that boat.

Tell me about the heroin.

I don't know anything about that. I don't know. Maybe Enrique... Enrique

He just had it lying around for some of his investment clients?

Look, I'm tired and I'm scared.

Enrique threatened to kill me.

I ran away to save my life.

Jim, I know this looks pretty bad, but maybe we should cut her some slack.

And why is that?

Look, Jim, I know that you have great cop instincts, but I think I know

If we give her the benefit of the doubt, maybe we'll get to the truth, you know?

Why don't you let me talk to her?

See what you can get.

I know you're scared, but, I mean, come on, you got to admit, all this looks

pretty weird, right?

Jim, he's not a bad guy, but he is a cop.

Oh, and you're not? No, actually, I'm an anthropologist.

I'm serious. I'm strictly a consultant.

No badge, no gun, no nothing.

Joe Friday from Alaska, huh?

Yeah, I guess.

Monique, we're not going to get anywhere unless you start with the truth.

Okay, but don't ask me about the heroin.

Enrique would kill me if he thought I talked.

His real name's not Mendez.

It's Guzman.

Guzman?

Enrique Guzman?

Jim, what are you doing? Your boyfriend is the Mexican heroin czar?

Guzman, I am his mistress, and he threatened to kill me.

I don't know anything about any dope.

Why can't you believe me?

Because you lied to us once before.

To protect myself.

I haven't exactly had the best luck with men lately.

I like the money and the boats, yeah.

I'll admit that, okay?

By the time I found out the truth, it was too late. I couldn't get away.

Would you like to see what a belt buckle does to a woman's back?

No, that won't be necessary.

Enrique Guzman works out of Guadalajara. What is he doing in Washington?

He had paid off some Mexican judges and they wanted a bigger cut.

He had him killed.

The federales that he bought off couldn't protect him anymore, so he had

his operation to the States.

But about a week ago, he heard that the DEA was closing in, so he freaked.

And when he beat me, I knew I had to get out somehow.

What do you think?

I don't know.

That case was the only thing I found on board the Sea Ray.

The tank was almost empty.

Doesn't really sound like a well -planned trip.

Yeah.

I hope you understand why we have to do this.

We'll see that you're well taken care of.

I've heard that before.

Well, it looks like it wants to clear.

Don't count on it.

I'm gonna go take a look at that sea ray.

I don't think I missed anything, Jim.

Probably not, but just the same, I feel better if I check it out myself.

All right.

I'll see what I can dig up in the mess.

Good morning.

Is it?

Oh, sure it is. We got dried fruit loops for breakfast.

Looks like the storm's almost over.

Then we'll get in touch with Cascade PD and get you out of here.

You don't know Enrique.

You know one time one of his men stole a single balloon of dope? Cost maybe $5

,000.

He hunted him down.

Cost him about $100 ,000 to do.

About a dozen men.

But he found him.

I won't tell you what he did to him.

I don't see how Guzman can track you down. You're on an island at a Coast

station.

If you testify, you can enter the witness protection program, and then you

start a whole new life.

What's this?

Found that on the C -ring.

Some kind of transmitter. It was in some little hidden hatch. This is an

electronic beacon. Did you activate this thing? I didn't even know it was there.

Damn. Remote command, then.

Wait, I don't understand. What's wrong?

It gives an exact fix to the boat. Which means that Guzman knows she's here.

Oh, God.

All right, look. It's 6 .30. Why don't we get the launch? We'll head for the

mainland. We'll make contact with the Coast Guard and headquarters en route.

right? We can leave now.

Too late.

What do you mean?

Oh, no.

Three gate here.

What kind of wire power you got around here, Rocky?

Well, we got two M16s and a few mags, plus we got a flare gun in the kit.

Like a mag and a half. How many ways in or out of here?

Well, there's a front door and a back door.

There's a trap door down to the crawl space, really. Lock them down.

Let's put whatever we can in front of the door. Samber, give me a hand.

I'm going to send out a distress call. I'll get some backup out here.

Who was that?

Jim, they blew the comm link. We're cut off.

You see it?

Yeah, recognizing things and making shots.

Jim, how many guns?

I think six, plus Guzman. Some other tough guy.

Yeah, that's Raul.

He's the worst of them.

Hefe, there's nothing in this area.

She must be in the station.

Tiene que estar rodeados.

Sí.

What are you doing? What are you, crazy? That guy's going to kill you.

No. Hey, Jim, come on. What are our options here?

Well, we could make a break for the launch. We could set up the deck gun.

We got eight guys on full auto between us and the water.

What about that trap? Any way through the crawl space?

Yeah, we could kick out a vent screen.

That would make us come out onto the north side of the station.

There's got to be some way we can get an SOS out.

There's no phones with the power still out, and we're way out of range for a

cellular.

The lighthouse still has power.

There's a radio there in the shed.

I'd have to take the back trail up and around through the woods.

Well, that'd be smart, seeing that they have the easy way covered.

We can create a diversion somehow.

That'll be you, boss.

All right.

I'll hold them off as long as I can. I want you to get to a radio. Call Simon

Banks at Cascade BD and get a hold of the Coast Guard, all right? Roger that.

And, Buck.

Yeah? Next time we celebrate your birthday, let's do it on the main line,

I don't know about this, Jack. It's our only shot.

Take it.

Good luck.

Yeah, boy.

Up there.

What is your uniform?

I'm not in the Coast Guard. I'm a cop.

Right now, half of Cascade PD is on its way out here.

How do you call them?

We knocked your radio tower down.

I want Monique.

Bring her.

So you can beat her again?

Maybe break her leg so she can't run away this time?

Let go!

It's all right.

I'm going to be okay.

Beat her?

I loved her.

I gave her everything.

But she's a whore.

A liar. And a thief.

If you got the dope, why don't you just let her go?

I don't care about the dope!

I want my book.

What book?

That's Monique.

That's the whore.

If you don't bring her out here with my book, I burn this whole place down to

the water.

Hey, Jim, how you doing?

What'd they say?

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

Where's the book?

What book?

Raise your arms.

Hey, Jim. Give it a rest, Chief. Come on, let's go. Bring him up.

Jim, what the hell is going on here?

Guzman accused her of stealing some book. If you know anything about this,

you've got to say something.

Enrique doesn't believe in computers. He puts everything in these little books.

What do you mean everything? Like what?

He left one open once. It had numbers and names and stuff like that on it.

numbers, accounts, what?

I don't know. I mean, I didn't understand it. Whatever it is, he thinks

we've got this information.

Well, that might not be a bad thing, right, Jim?

I mean, we can use it as a bargaining chip, but get us a little more time.

I'll be all right.

Once Rucker gets to the lighthouse, help will be on its way.

Heaven! No!

Check the lighthouse!

Look, they've had enough time.

First, we do this with guns.

After we have the book, we put it all down.

What about Monique? That woman is dead to me now.

Kill them all, comprende?

All right, Chief, it's about time you got ready to use this thing.

I don't know, man. I don't have the idea of actually killing somebody.

All you got to do is spray a burst over their head. Anything to keep them back,

okay? All you got to do is rack the slide.

Hold down the trigger and point.

Come over here.

Anybody gets inside this door, we shoot them with this.

You handle that?

I think so.

Mayday, mayday. This is Coast Guard substation Tango Bravo Delta on Storm

to all open police channels.

We are under attack from a heavily armed drug gang. Repeat, we are under attack.

You think better?

No one could have survived this.

Then where are the bodies?

Where is Monique?

Hey. Oh, hey, Jim, she got hit.

What? She got hit.

That looks like a surface wound.

Okay.

Uh -oh.

Sit her down right over here. Easy, easy.

Ow, ow. All right, all right, all right. Jim, we've got to bind that. I've got a

bandana in my day pack.

Take her jacket off and cover her up.

Keep breathing.

There you go.

Have to make sure we weren't followed. You stay with her.

All right.

Why in the world didn't you tell us you were shot?

Why would you do stuff and give me first aid?

Don't worry. We're going to get out of this.

Thank you.

I don't want that man to believe me.

I keep wondering when I'm going to get one of those little drinks with the

umbrella back.

We've got to move.

We've got to get to the lighthouse somehow. Go through the brush to avoid

chopper. If he made it, we'll hook up with Rucker.

What if he didn't make it?

You think you can keep moving?

Come on, you don't think she's trying to damage him? It wouldn't be the first

time one of us got on with a good line.

No veo nada.

Where'd you learn that? The army ranger? Open cross.

Get up here.

Beautiful.

Drop it, Hernando, or you're dead.

Jorge, Ramiro, do you copy?

Fernando!

No molestos, jefe.

Not as bad as the blood, right?

Well, you're going to probably walk a little bit, funny, but you'll be all

right.

We've got to get you out of here.

What the hell did you do that for?

I'm sorry, I don't know. I was scared. It went off.

Over here, Ralph.

Take a load off of you for a second.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I never meant for any of this to happen.

That's enough.

Come on, Jim. I mean, she was running for her life.

I mean, she didn't ask to come to this island, right?

No, she sure as hell ain't helping us get off of it.

That's bleeding pretty badly. You can't keep walking on this any longer.

Sit down by this log. Yeah.

I'm only going to slow you down.

There's a thicker forest north of us.

It's better cover.

I'll stick here.

You keep going.

Come on, what are you talking about? We can't do that.

You have to, kid. We can't leave him behind alone.

Look, he's a military officer.

He knows that he gives us our best chance to survive.

No, we should stay here with him.

Oh, that's a good idea.

Just sit here and wait until they find us and shoot us to pieces.

Why are you trying to stop us from getting rescued?

Oh, you're crazy.

I saved your life!

Maybe.

But then again, they would have gunned you down, too.

Hey, where's all this coming from, man? A lot of places.

Rome, Athens, Bangkok.

What? Places are stamped on a passport.

Huh? I thought you said the only place you'd ever been was Mexico.

What else?

Griezmann looked surprised when I accused him of smacking her around.

I mean, he even denied it. Oh, and you believed him.

Maybe now's a good time for you to show us those bruises under that.

Yeah. Go to hell.

I know your friend was no choir boy, but he nailed you on two things.

Being a thief and a liar.

Look, I told you, I don't have his damn book.

Of course you don't.

You transferred it onto this.

I got it out of your walkman.

What's on it, Jimmy?

Haven't played it yet, huh?

Hand it over.

Do it!

Or I put him out of his misery.

You know, there's other pieces to this puzzle. I just haven't been able to put

it all together.

Well, I guess you just weren't smart enough to figure it out, were you? No.

I was smart enough to get you to show your true colors.

Smart enough to put a blank clip in the back. That's nice.

They're here.

I wouldn't do that.

Take the chopper down to the beach and wait for us.

Did you really think I wouldn't find you? Why did you take my book?

Blackmail?

Extortion?

Insurance?

No matter.

Now you tell me.

Where is it?

We did it.

You did what?

You don't get it, Chief, huh?

Monique gets tired of the jefe.

Goes in with Raul.

She takes off with the boat. Heads to a remote island where she can kill a very

heavily protected man.

She figures there won't be any cops around.

Just a couple of coast guards meant it won't be a problem to put away.

Guzman tracks her with the transponder.

She probably was going to drop me as soon as the helicopter lands. Only we

showed up.

What about Guzman's book?

Can't take over a man's business without his contact list.

You've got dealers, informants, bribed officials, delivery routes, drop -off

points.

Well, I'm about tired of this backwoods stuff, baby.

Let's get this over with and get the hell out of here.

Everything under control, partner.

Come on, give me a hand here.

It's all right, it's all right.

Oh, hey, by the way.

There you go.

Happy listening.

Thanks, guys.

What'd you do that for? Oh, just relax.

She never had the real one. I switched it.

I hope you like David Coughlin.

And Chinese.

Tucker!

Mainland Relay. It's your first mate.

Andy, how's your dad?

He's fine. He's not about to see you.

Good. What happened? Are you okay?

No, no, I'm fine. It's the station that's a mess.

I'm glad you're okay.

Yeah, I miss you too.

Can't wait to see it. I love you. Bye.

Now, that explains a lot.

Sandberg.

Andy is my fiancé.

Short for Andrew.

What is that?

So, whatever happened to my birthday present?

Did you bring me a birthday present?

Well, I did.
