Turner here.

We just got here, Beck, give me a minute to figure out the situation.

Be careful Turner, we don't know who's in there.

Move to the front door.

Turner, where's our back-up?

The tactical team will be here inside of thirty minutes

right now it's just us.

Move in.

We've got two cars here, I'm running the plates.

Hold position.

It's coming up now.

One's a rental.

What the hell was that?

Shots fired.

Goddam, who fired?

From inside the house, repeat, the shots came from inside the house!

Get in there, get in there right now!

Go, go, go!

FBI! FBI!

FBI!

Turner, what is going on?

Is she all right?

What is going on?

Is she all right?

No.

They're both dead.

God!

What happened?

We were too late.

God help us, we were too late.

Here you are, sweetie, one big girl glass of milk.

Why do you have to go?

Daddy has to go away for work, honey.

Don't you remember, he explained it all last night?

I know, I'm not, um, it's just, I don't what you to go.

I know you don't sweetheart, you know what

this is going to be Daddy's last trip for a long, long time.

I promise.

Next time, we're all going to go away, together.

-And Mr. Wiggles? -Yes of course, Mr. Wiggles.

-Mr. Wiggles, too. -No, Mr. Wiggles is okay.

-But Mommy-- -Megan, be good.

Mr. Wiggles needs peanut butter, too.

-No, he doesn't! -Why not?

Yeah, Mommy, why can't Mr. Wiggles have peanut butter, too?

Because Mr. Wiggles has a peanut allergy!

You don't want him to get sick, do you?

-Nope. -Very nice.

Can we go watch cartoons now?

-But Daddy's going away, don't you want-- -That's okay.

Do you want Daddy to carry your toast for you, sweetie?

Nope.

Don't drop any crumbs on the carpet, Megan.

This is the payoff, baby.

-All of those months of long hours-- -And suffering.

Yes, suffering!

This time next week it will all be a bad memory.

And I meant what I said, about us going away

-Really? -Yes, absolutely.

-Where would we go? -Anywhere you want. Europe?

Some place tropical?

Maybe.

Some place warm... with a beach?

Megan would love the ocean... the way she adores the lake

she'd go out of her mind in those waves, can you imagine?

Beach it is, then...

and you and I will get back on track.

Think a week of holidays will fix everything, Mike?

-Argh! Babe, come on. -I'm serious!

It's been a while, I know.

It's been weeks.

What can I say? I will make it up to you.

I'll make it up to you and Megan, both.

- Mommy. - Hold on.

I can send Ben you know, to New York?

- It's just that-- -Mommy I need you.

You're already booked and packed to leave.

- Mommy! - Coming.

Oh, sweetheart, come here.

Daddy's going to see you soon, okay? I promise.

When I get back, you and I are going to make up for lost time.

Talk is cheap.

You'll see.

-That a threat? -A promise.

Oh, sweetheart, you be a good girl for your mommy, alright?

-Are you dropping her off? -Brenda's driving them today.

Promise me you'll have a good time at school today?

Daddy's going to see you soon. I promise.

Go to breakfast, meet me back here in an hour.

I already ate, where are you going?

-I need to go shopping. -Shopping?

You? It's 8 a.m.

I need to get a new hat.

-I'll come with you. -No, you won't.

Meet me back here in an hour.

Ms. Beck.

-Did you buy anything? -No.

-Didn't see anything I liked. -You okay?

I'm fine, let's go.

You're the boss.

-Good morning, beautiful. -Good morning.

-I love you. -I love you, too.

-You okay? -Yeah.

I just didn't expect to hear from you that's all.

I miss you, you know I'd rather be home with you and Megan.

I hope so.

What time are your meetings?

First guy comes at quarter to nine.

Going to be busy all day, that's why I called

I didn't think I'd get a chance until dinner time.

-I understand. -Megan there?

Oh, watching cartoons, no doubt.

There's no school today, remember

-You want to talk to her? -No, just tell her daddy loves her.

-Look, I better go. -Of course.

-Have a good day. -I will.

Talk to you later.

Megan?

Megan!

Megan!

Megan!!

Megan!

Megan!

Jesus Beck, you okay?

Will you stop asking me that.

-Have a migraine? -It's nothing.

You need to see someone.

It's nothing, it's just some side effect.

-That was six months ago. -It's not a big deal.

The hell it isn't.

Yeah, I don't know, fuck.

Wouldn't it make sense to at least get checked out?

It's nothing, just some headaches.

Yeah, I guess.

Yeah, don't worry about me, I will be just fine.

-I just need a cup of coffee. -Yeah.

Will you get me a cup of coffee?

-Please? -You're so much like my old man it's scary.

He'd have to be bleeding from the ears to consider getting checked out.

Like sheer stubbornness alone will ensure you'll outlast us all.

Well, I didn't know the man but I will take

any and all comparisons as a compliment.

This is Beck.

Yes.

Okay, we're on our way.

Yeah, and don't touch anything.

What's up?

We'll get a coffee on the way.

-Tina. -Agent Hunt.

Thanks fellas.

-Agent Davis. -Special Agent Beck.

Nothing's been touched. Everything is exactly as we found it.

- What are we looking at? - Kidnapping, five year old girl, Megan Waters.

Apparently taken from her bed late last night, or early this morning.

Who else was in the house?

The mother, Julia Waters, the father, Mike Waters

is away on business but has been notified and will be back soon.

Is there anything else missing?

One of her teddy bears, a one Mr. Wiggles.

Like it would keep her quiet?

Yeah, that's what I thought.

Hopefully it means she's still alive, if they wanted to keep her quiet?

Let's get forensics in here right away

and ensure they photograph everything.

They'll be here in an hour.

Andy, can you start questioning the mother, give me some time in the room alone.

She's pretty messed up, I don't know if you'll get anything from her right now.

Why don't you see what you can do?

-Where's the room? -Down the hall last on the right

Right let's get you signed in.

She okay?

She's getting the headaches again.

Still? It's been six months since the shooting.

What, I don't know that?

You worried about her?

-Yeah. -Well we all are.

She's been weird ever since it happened, what is she doing back there?

She likes to be alone, helps her concentrate.

Concentrate on what? We've got a missing five year old girl.

And why alone? Being alone isn't going to bring back this little girl.

She's got one of the highest case clearance rates in the whole Bureau.

I wouldn't question her methodology.

What methodology? There is a protocol to how we do things

she's not following any of it.

She works outside the box.

Oh, come on Andy, she isn't aware there is a box.

Just let her do her thing, she'll be out in a minute.

You okay, Beck?

I'm fine.

We've removed the fragments, there may have been an aneurism.

You've suffered severe brain trauma.

The CAT scan results were highly unusual

strange brain activity... have you experienced headaches?

Odd smells?

Beck!

Beck.

Found some footprints on the deck, got a match to a shoe.

We'll have this solved by lunchtime.

Forensics is on it.

She was definitely carried away through these woods.

I'll get someone down here, canvasing the neighborhood

see if anyone saw any vehicles coming or going last night.

Sure...

but she was definitely carried away through here.

Where's my wife?

-Mr. Waters? -Yes. Where is my wife?

She's fine, she's speaking to one of our agents.

I'm Special Agent Beck, and this is my partner Agent Andrew Hunt.

What's going on? Where is my daughter, I need to see my wife.

-Where is my wife? -She's with another agent, Mr. Waters.

You'll be able to see her in just a moment

but first we need to speak to each of you separately

so please, sit down.

What's going on, someone took her out of her bed?

It would appear so.

Do you have any idea where she is now?

We're doing everything we can.

How does this happen, how the hell does someone come into the house

take a child out of her bed in the middle of the night and no-one notices?

There's no way of knowing that what happened wouldn't have happened no matter who was here.

Okay? It appears whoever did this was very determined.

You were in New York on business, is that correct?

Yeah, yeah, that's right.

And as far as you know Julia and Megan were alone in the house?

Yes, they were.

-No school for Megan? -No, no.

It was a PA day.

And how long were you going to be away on business?

I had about three days of meetings lined up.

My company, the company I have with my partner

Metrodine Software, was about to go public

a million technical details we had to work out.

-And you're with the SEC? -That's right.

-And your partner's name? -Ben Tomlinson.

And why didn't he go with you?

I beg your pardon?

Why didn't Ben Tomlinson go with you to New York city?

-Because Ben hates to fly. -How's that?

The last time we sent Ben on a trip it was a disaster

he was sick the whole way, threw up on some lady.

Why are we even talking about this? What does this have to do with my daughter?

What was the precise date of the IPO?

The 19th! Why are we even here?

The one place in the state we know my daughter isn't!

Rest assured Mr. Waters--

This IPO, what kind of numbers are the analysts talking?

We are floating four million and keeping 15 million.

And what's the estimated share price?

We're hoping for around 30.

So, you're saying your company is on the eve

of a deal worth over a hundred million dollars?

Ransom.

It's a very strong possibility.

Oh.

No, ransom, this is good for us, very good.

-And for Megan? -Ransom is practically a best case scenario.

It's predicated on the safe return of your little girl.

Now, do you have any more recent photos of Megan?

Yeah of course. I've got a million from the summer, I'll burn you a cd.

Oh my God, it isn't happening.

I am so sorry!

I'm so sorry.

Please!

Rest assured Mr. and Mrs. Waters, we are going to do everything

in our power to get your daughter back.

-Agent Davis -Agent Hunt, can I have a word?

-Sure. -Where's Beck?

-Inside. -Bathroom again?

You need to say something.

-To who, Beck? -No, to the Deputy Director.

-No, I can't do that. -She is not well.

She's steering this investigation on instincts alone.

I don't think that's accurate.

Why are we wasting time scouring the woods in the back

when what we should be doing is having every single agent canvassing the neighborhood.

We're doing that as well.

We need to do it now, when witness memories are fresh.

Look, she's the senior agent, and she's in charge.

So we prioritize our investigation according to her.

According to what?

Her whims, her intuitions?

She needs to stop standing at the back of the house, staring off into space.

What she needs to do is to start gathering facts

from people in the vicinity who have actually seen something, Andy.

Look, I can't undermine her authority, and neither can you.

I know it may appear a little unorthodox but as I said before

she does get results.

Fine, I have tried, but when all is said and done, I am putting this in my report.

Do it.

And you better be sure that these unorthodox

methods lead to closing this case.

I'm appealing to the person or persons who have abducted our daughter, Megan

to please return her safely to us.

She's the most important thing in our lives and we love her dearly.

Anyone with any information regarding Megan or her whereabouts

please call the number you see on the screen now.

Anyone providing information that leads to the safe return of Megan

will be given a cash reward of one hundred thousand dollars.

Megan, we love you honey.

Mommy and daddy love you.

This isn't going to work.

If the child was taken for ransom it's important to get a dialog going

before the abductors get cold feet

or, screw it up somehow

ergo we use the media to our own advantage.

I know that.

You think the kids dead already?

I don't know

-but my gut tells me this isn't going to work. -Your gut?

You going to tell me what it really is?

-What do you mean? -The migraines you keep getting.

They're getting worse, more frequent and usually at the scene of the crime.

-I'm fine. -No, you're not.

Why don't you tell me what's really going on?

Drop it, Andy.

Okay.

So the secret code-word is the bears name?

Yeah, Mr. Wiggles.

Ah, Christ.

Between that and confirmation of what the child was wearing

we'll have 100 percent verification we're talking to the right person.

Did you read that in the hand-book?

What time is it?

Just before eight, no, no, we haven't heard anything.

Are you going somewhere?

Honey, I have to get out of here

sitting around here yesterday was killing me.

The waiting is driving me crazy.

It's driving everyone crazy.

Do you think this is easy on me?

No! No, no.

Look, if I can go to the office I can do something useful.

If you need me, I can be back in 20 minutes.

-But what if-- -Jules, it's going to be okay.

I know it.

Megan is...

It's going to be okay.

Been here long?

Couple of hours

What are you looking at?

The cd Waters burned for me

pictures of the kid, some picnic or something on the lake.

-Depressing? -In this context? Yep.

What's this?

Research dug this up for me yesterday.

It's a case about four years old, same MO, to the letter.

Taken from the bed? Where?

San Jose, didn't get much press.

They opted for a different approach and kept it quiet

they had a lead, they thought they knew who the perp was

and nothing was released.

What happened?

It's still open. Looks like it's a one-off.

-The guy wasn't their guy? -No.

It was all messed up, one of those red herrings

that fate throws at us now and again.

And the child?

Eventually found dead in a nearby ravine about a month later.

-Girl or boy? -Girl, five years old.

Like Megan Waters.

Like Megan Waters.

Why wasn't the case made public?

Parents didn't want that.

I don't get it.

Here's the interesting part...

The father was a big-wig at a local corporation

seems like it was partially a PR decision to keep the abduction under wraps.

Why?

They were on the verge of going public.

They do an IPO? What company was that?

Serious?

A software company. Jesus Christ!

I think we better talk to the Waters family.

Look, if there's anything I can do for you, just let me know, okay?

Thanks, Carolyn.

Can I get you some coffee or something?

That would be great.

Jesus buddy, what are you doing here?

Come here.

-Have you heard any news, anything? -No.

I didn't know what to do, I couldn't stay there.

Julie's a mess, thought I would come in to distract myself.

Are you okay?

Yeah, yeah.

Hey.

-Morning. -Morning.

Are you okay Mrs. Waters?

Yes, I'm alright.

Agents Beck and Hunt are here.

I'll be right there.

Jeez Beck, are you okay?

I'm fine.

-Hello. - Hello Mr. Tomlinson

this is Colonel.

I'm sorry. I think you have the wrong number.

I represent the contractor that you engaged.

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

Don't play dumb, Mr. Tomlinson.

You contracted us to take care of a problem for you in New York.

Why are you calling me, we are only supposed to communicate by email.

As you know, we've had some complications.

No kidding, you guys never completed the job.

Mr. Walters failed to stay in New York for three days

as you assured us he would. He left for the airport on the first morning.

Yeah it seems that all of a sudden--

We know about the girl, we know the FBI is now involved

This changes the agreement, Mr. Tomlinson

Look, why don't you just keep the money I paid you as compensation

and consider our business concluded?

Unfortunately, Mr. Tomlinson, it's not that simple

now that the FBI is involved we require full payment.

Or what?

Mr. Tomlinson, this is a business arrangement, fail to adequately compensate us

and your involvement in this matter will become known to the FBI.

This isn't the arrangement we had before.

We'll contact you with further instructions regarding the full payment.

I need more time to think about this.

-Any news? -I'm afraid not.

Agent Davis tells us that Mr. Waters has stepped out to the office?

Mrs. Waters?

Yes!

Maybe you could help us with something?

I'll try.

Do know if Metrodine has had any problems with employees

anything like that?

Anyone make a fuss when they were fired

or people unhappy with the work Metrodine might have done for them?

Not that I'm aware of.

Are you saying, whoever's taken Megan may have been an employee?

We have nothing concrete as yet.

Would Mr. Waters be liable to share that information with you

trouble with Metrodine?

I hear about everything eventually.

I see.

Did you have anyone come to the house the day Megan was kidnapped?

No.

No visitors?

-Not even people you know? -No-one came that day.

Okay.

Thank you.

We have a few things we need to finish up here

and then we'll head over to Metrodine to speak with your husband.

Hey, I heed some java, do you want one?

No, thanks, I'm going to head out soon.

You heading home?

No, not home.

I'd like to go for a drive, but have these media leeches

following me wherever I go.

They follow you?

Yeah. Probably outside the front door right now.

Hey, why don't you take my car, give them the slip?

Thanks.

Hey, you know I'd do anything for you, right?

Do you get a read on their marriage?

Pretty tough under these circumstances.

Is she playing around?

I don't know, it's been so crazy, you know.

There is one thing, I don't know if anyone mentioned it.

What's that?

Their nanny. A few months ago Julia fired her.

Why?

Not sure, you'll need to ask the husband about that.

The nanny's name was Maria Allende.

Was she legal?

Here's a copy of her green card, all legit.

Husband had her on the Metrodine payroll and she even filed taxes last year.

Twenty five years old, not bad looking either.

We'll check her out.

Did Mrs. Waters seem alright to you?

Of course not, she's frantic.

No, it's more than that.

More than that? I don't think there's much room for more.

Maybe.

Did you see her face when I asked if anyone had come to the house?

Not really, why?

She's lying.

Could be stress, she's under a lot of pressure.

I wouldn't make much of it.

What is it?

Nothing.

-To Metrodine? -Let's see what Mike Waters has to say.

-Hello. -Mr. Tomlinson

It's Colonel, we've given you sufficient time to think.

This really isn't a good time.

Sorry to inconvenience you, Mr. Tomlinson.

Not now.

Look, I'm sorry but there are some people here to see you.

Just tell them I'm busy.

It's the FBI.

I have to go.

Okay.

Hi there. Ben Tomlinson.

Agent Hunt.

Special Agent Beck.

Come on in, have a seat.

Can Carolyn get you anything? Coffee, cappuccino?

No, I'm fine thank you.

Is Mr. Waters in?

He stepped out just to clear his head, he'll be back probably in a half hour

Mind if we ask you some questions?

Absolutely.

This whole thing has just made me sick to my stomach.

Mike and Julie and Megan are the only family I have.

My folks died a few years ago and I'm not married

building this business with Mike has taken up all of my time.

I guess that if I didn't have them, I wouldn't have anyone.

You can't prepare yourself for something like this, you know.

We know.

All too well.

-Listen Mr. Tomlinson. -Just Ben, please.

Okay Ben, can you think of anyone that might want to do harm to Mike or Julia?

No... I don't think either one of them has an enemy in the world.

Can you think of anyone that might have a gripe against you?

Anyone that might perceive themselves as hard done by?

You know what, I don't really think there is anyone.

Look, I know it may sound self-serving and naive

but the fact is, we pride ourselves on treating people

not only ethically, but generously, too.

How well do you know Mrs. Waters?

Julia? Very well.

Like I said, Mike and Julia are like family.

And when was the last time you were at the Waters' home?

Hmm, a barbecue a couple of Sundays ago, I guess.

Well, thank you, I guess we'll be going.

Please have Mr. Waters give us a call

and we'll make arrangements to meet with him later.

Sure.

Oh, and just one more thing, I just have to ask

where you were the night Megan was taken?

I was at home, just like every other night. Home or here. Always.

I don't suppose you have anyone who could corroborate that?

No, I'm afraid not.

Well, don't worry about it, I just had to ask.

-Ready then? -Yeah, I think so.

-Okay, thank you. -Thanks again.

Thank you.

-What the hell was that about? -He was lying.

-About what? -About everything.

The nanny?

Here legally, like Tina said. I haven't been able to track her down.

What did forensics find?

Four sets of prints in the kids room.

The kid, the parents, and who else? Another kid?

An adult and three partials, two of them on the bedside table.

-What else? -A couple of threads

from Megan's pajamas stuck in the corner of the frame.

What about the footprints on the porch?

The sneakers are called Run Masters, size 9.

That narrows it down.

-Cross trainers. -That narrows it down even more.

You can get them just about anywhere but still it's something.

What now?

We never did talk to Mike Waters.

How did you get away?

It's okay, I just don't have long.

-This is all so horrible. -I know.

The hell you're going through, you don't deserve it.

-Nobody does. -I'm not sure about that.

Julia, honey, don't talk crazy now.

What if this is some sort of punishment for what we've done?

What have we done exactly?

What have we done?

Ben, you can't be serious, we hired a man to kill Mike!

That's fine, Julia, we just got carried away

but Mikes alive, that's the important part.

And the fact that we've been cheating on him.

You've worked it out nicely, haven't you?

Somehow, miraculously, you're guilt free.

Every time I think about my daughter, I can't help but think about us!

Maybe if we just told Mike--

Julia, you listen to me

the last thing we need right now is to talk about you and I

to Mike, to the FBI, to anybody.

I'm saying to tell--

the Feds are already nosing around Metrodine, do you get that?

If they find out about our plan, no matter what happens to Megan

you and I are both going to jail.

We just have to tell the truth.

-No. -Yeah, it's the only way.

The only way to what?

The only way to get them to focus elsewhere!

They're going to find out about us eventually.

They're spending all their time looking for you when they should be looking...

for the man who took my daughter!

Julia! Christ, don't you get it?

If we tell them the truth about us they are bound to find out what we we're planning.

Don't you get it, I don't care.

You should Julia. Do you have any idea what kind of time we'd get?

Conspiracy to commit murder is a heavy-duty felony, hard time.

It's prison Julia, prison.

I'd gladly go to prison if it would bring my daughter back.

Going to prison, doing penance, whatever you want to call it

however you want to think of it, it won't change anything.

Now listen, we have to stick together.

Now especially.

What's happening to you, it's terrible

because you're caught in the middle of a horrible nightmare

believe me, if I could change it, I would.

Do you love me?

I love you like crazy, you know that.

I love you, too.

Have you heard something?

We're following some leads but nothing concrete.

We're just here to ask you some questions.

Carolyn said you want a list of employees?

Yes both past and present, if you have them?

I can give you record of our payroll. It'll just take a moment.

So how long have you and Mr. Tomlinson been partners?

I've known Ben since college... 15 years.

So you we're friends first and then became business partners?

Ben is more than a friend, he's family

to Megan and Julia, too.

His parents died in an accident

six years ago now. We are all he has.

Any inheritance?

Why?

Just asking.

They left him an old cabin on the outskirts of the city.

I see.

There you are.

That's the list of everyone who has ever worked for us.

Anything else?

Understand you recently let go Megan's nanny

-Yeah, that's right. -Why did you fire her?

Julia decided she didn't want a nanny.

-So you haven't replaced her? -No, no.

It was my idea, with things going well I thought that Julia

would like the extra time, but she never took to the arrangement.

Do you know where Maria Allende is now?

Probably went back home to Chile.

We gave her a very generous severance package.

Just one more thing, we'd like to send someone around

to the house later to take your fingerprints.

Have you found something?

We just need your fingerprints and your wife

to determine which, if any, are out of place.

I was fingerprinted for the IPO, it's an SEC regulation.

Oh, so you're on file with the SEC then.

-Yes, Ben and I both are. -Good to know.

-We'll still need your wife's. -Of course.

Looking at the payroll records?

No, just taking another look at the photos Waters gave me earlier.

What are we looking at?

What's wrong with all these pictures?

Seem strange to you that Ben is in all of these pictures?

He said they were like family to him

But he's with Megan in every single one of them.

There are 50 shots on this disc and Tomlinson is in 43 of them, with her.

Yeah.

He is in more pictures that her parents.

Uncle Ben.

What do we know about Ben Tomlinson?

Not much.

He seems a little too familiar with this kid.

Mr. Tomlinson.

Why don't you just tell me what you want?

It's simple, Mr. Tomlinson, we want the balance you still owe us

plus an additional fee.

An additional fee? Before you just wanted the original amount?

The original fee has increased given the circumstances.

Right, right. And if I pay, that will be the end of it?

Of course, you won't hear from us again, nor will the FBI.

Fine, how much do you want?

-Five million dollars. -Five million dollars.

You don't understand, I can't get my hands on that kind of money personally.

And I can't use Metrodines assets without my business partner knowing

and that'll set off all kinds of bells and whistles.

Yes, Mr. Tomlinson, we know. Luckily for you the FBI is expecting your ransom demand.

The ransom demand?

Because that's precisely what you are going to give them.

We want you to go to your cabin, in the living room you'll find a cell phone.

To my cabin?

The phone is untraceable

and attached to a device that will electronically disguise your voice.

Call the Waters' residence and have your partner transfer

five million dollars into a numbered Swiss bank account.

The account information is beside the phone.

After you make this call, remain at the cabin and wait for instructions.

What if I say no?

If you say no, we will forward all emails involving your contract

to kill your business partner in New York city.

Okay, okay, I'll make the call.

Get moving, take a rental car, you wouldn't want to be followed

or recognized in your own car.

Follow these instructions.

Dammit!

-Bingo! -What?

Found a picture of a man wearing what looks like the shoes from the crime scene.

No way. Tomlinson.

Here's a picture of the Run Master cross trainers

and here's Tomlinson.

They look the same to you?

-I don't know-- -That's the shoe.

I can't say for sure

Where was Tomlinson four years ago?

Four years ago?

Was he in San Jose at the time of the other kidnapping?

-I don't know. -Find out!

Hello.

I have the girl.

Who is this?

-Get a pen. -What?

- Write this down. - Who is this?

Where is my daughter? I want to see my daughter!

Why do you have my daughter you sonofa... I want my daughter!

I want to talk to my daughter!

Who is this?

If five million dollars isn't deposited into this account by tomorrow

your daughter will die!

Where is my daughter? Let me speak to her.

Your daughter will be returned alive provided five million dollars

is deposited into this account.

At the Bank Zurich Swiss by tomorrow, end of business!

The account number is 1447569.521-9

- Repeat the number! - How do I know you have my daughter

-Repeat the number! -Not until I know my daughters alive!

Her bear.

you took a teddy bear when you abducted her

ask her the bear's name.

Mr. Wiggles.

No...

-Let me speak to her. -No.

At least let her mother know she's alright.

I said no. You have the money deposited by end of business tomorrow.

Look it's going to take me some time.

I don't care.

If the money isn't in the bank, your daughters blood will be on your hands.

Repeat the number!

1447569.521-9

That's right. Tomorrow. End of business.

Wait, wait!

You think you can get the money together in time?

-I don't know. -Of course we'll get the money!

We can't trace the exact location of the call, but it was definitely made locally.

Listen, I need to clarify some things you told me earlier.

Okay?

The last time Ben was on a business trip

you know, the one on the plane.

Yeah, what about it?

-Where was he going? -San Jose.

It was a big software expo.

Do you know when it was, the date?

Yeah, it was the week of the 20th of October.

2002?

Yeah.

-And why are you so sure? -Because Ben had World Series tickets.

It was the third game in San Francisco. Bonds hit a home run

but the Giants got blown out ten to four.

How long was he going to be in California?

After that? About a week, he took a bit of time off.

He came back very tired.

Why are you asking about this?

What does this have to do with Megan?

Probably nothing, Mrs. Waters.

I don't understand why we're talking about this.

Do you know if Ben had a pair of Run Master cross trainers?

Yes, we bought him a pair for his birthday.

Why are you asking all these questions about Ben?

What does running shoes have to do with Megan?

It's just routine, Mrs. Waters.

Can you two give us a moment, please?

-It's going to be okay. -I just don't understand their questions.

Don't worry about it.

I have to go work out this money thing.

He was there.

In San Jose the same time that girl disappeared.

The sneakers.

We need to get a warrant to search his apartment. Now.

Beck. What.

-Are you kidding? -What is it?

Okay, good. Thanks.

The SEC sent us the prints last night.

The partials on Megan's bedside table, they belong to Tomlinson.

-I'm on my way. -Let's bring him in.

Hi.

- I have to see you. - What is it?

- Now, Ben! - Did something happen?

- Julia? - No, nothing's happened.

I have to see you.

- Okay, give me some time. - No, now!

Where are you?

- Julia, just... - -The FBI are looking for you, Ben.

What? Why?

Where are you?

I'm at the cabin.

- Oh, the cabin. - -I had to get away from the city.

Why are they looking for me?

I don't know Ben, they just are.

Stay where you are and I'll meet you at the cabin in half an hour.

Okay, half an hour.

And?

Building manager says he hasn't seen him all day.

That's his car, we need to get our people to his office

and out to that cabin that Waters mentioned.

I'm on it.

-Do we have the warrant yet? -I'll check.

Agent Andy Hunt, I'm looking for a status report on a search warrant

Tomlinson, Ben. Two residences and a motor vehicle.

That's the one.

Oh, we need to pop the trunk!

-Warrant isn't ready yet -We need to pop it right now!

-Beck, it's on it's way. -We can't wait!

-Jesus Christ! -Shit!

Motherfucker!

Where is she, you son of a bitch.

What are you talking about?

Why are they asking about these shoes?

I don't know, I must have left them here.

Liar!

My daughter, where is my daughter!

-Julia, you know I don't know-- -Megan!

What? Julia what the hell are you talking about?

This is her bear.

Tell me where she is or I swear to God I'll shoot you where you stand.

Listen, I swear to God I had nothing to do with this.

She's dead, isn't she?

Julia, look, think about it, come on, think.

Shut up, just shut up!

He's not in the office. Who do we sent to the cabin?

Turner.

Who is with him?

Stokes and Reynolds

Turner here.

Turner, this is Beck, what's going on?

We just got here, Beck, give me a minute to figure out what the situation is.

Be careful, Turner.

It was you who called, wasn't it?

-I don't know what you mean. -You called to say you had her!

No, okay, yes, yes, it was me who called but you don't understand.

It wasn't enough was it?

Killing Mike was just the beginning

you had to get rid of Megan, you had to kill my child!

Julia, for God's sakes, what are you saying.

Just listen to me please, just put the gun down.

Okay, now let me explain.

I loved Megan too, huh. I love you both

I want to spend the rest of my life with both of you.

You know that.

We got two cars here. I'm running the plates.

Hold position.

You called asking for money, and now you have her bear?

I don't know where it came from, I just got here myself. I swear to God.

Fuck you!

One's a rental, the other is registered to Julia Waters.

What the hell was that?

Get in there, get in there right now!

Go, go!

FBI, FBI! Drop it, drop it!

What is going on?

What's going on, Turner

Can you hear me, Turner?

Is she alright?

Is she alright?

No.

They're both dead.

Tomlinson, Ben. Waters, Julia

What happened?

Ben Tomlinson and Julia Waters are both dead.

Fuck!

Fuck!

Agent Hunt.

Packing up?

My work here is done.

We couldn't have done anything differently.

By 'we' you mean that Beck couldn't do anything

differently as the special agent in charge.

What is your problem, Tina?

I'm sorry I'm a little hard on Beck but this case didn't have a happy ending.

Beck put all the pieces together--

-But just not in time. -And that's her fault?

All I'm saying is that two people are dead

after an investigation that didn't follow protocol.

Didn't follow protocol!

Beck led us to Tomlinson.

There's nothing to say that doing things your way would have made any difference.

I guess We'll never know for sure.

Don't take it personally, Andy. I think you're a good agent

a rising star, I just think your devotion to Beck

is holding you back, it's hurting her, it's compromising our investigations.

You're upset that Beck is a better agent than you'll ever be.

That girl is lost.

And Beck got the guy who did it!

Face it, Tina, Megan's fate was sealed the moment that sicko tore her from her bed.

We couldn't save her.

They we're having an affair, right?

So it would seem.

We don't think your wife was involved in the abduction.

I never suspected. I'm a fool.

No, you we're lied to.

Ben and Julia.

Now everything fits. Everything makes sense now.

Ben was a pedophile?

It appears so.

He may have been involved in a similar incident in San Jose four years ago.

We used to leave him alone with Megan.

Another thing, when we broke into the security on Tomlinson's laptop

we found a bunch of emails to a company called LCS.

LCS?

They are a foreign company with offices in the Caymans and South Africa

They mainly specialize in providing private security

to various international conflict zones

you know, like mercenaries, soldiers of fortune.

It's a polite term for paid killers.

Hold on! Are you saying that Ben hired someone to have me killed?

We can't be certain but we think he was planning

having you killed in New York.

I don't understand any of this.

It looks like the emails we're intercepted by a third party

everything was encrypted so we haven't figured it all out.

Our IT experts tell us that whoever tampered

with Ben's email knew what they were doing.

How do we find Megan?

We've been searching the woods for a week.

The truth is Mr. Waters... we may never find her body.

-We're very sorry. -I appreciate your honesty.

If you have any questions please feel free to call.

I won't be at the Bureau much longer but Agent Hunt here

will be around to answer any questions you might have.

You mean, you're leaving?

It's just a health issue.

Oh I'm sorry, are you all right?

It's nothing, I need time to recuperate, that kind of thing.

Good.

Listen, I appreciate everything you've done.

Thanks.

We just heard a report about Metrodine

your IPO raised 146 million.

I sold my shares and resigned as CEO.

What are you going to do now?

I'm leaving.

Where to?

I don't know... somewhere else.

Good luck.

-Another migraine? -No, I'm fine actually

I just um... didn't want my last case to end this way.

We did what we could.

Yeah, I'm still a bit bothered by a few things

What?

Well like the cell phone that Ben used to call in the ransom demand.

What of it?

Why were there a bunch of calls from that phone to Ben's Blackberry

He was testing the electronic voice disguiser?

Sure, but then why do it three times on three different days?

Phone might have been cloned?

Could have been more than one handset with the same number?

Then the footprints from the running shoes?

The cross trainers, what about them?

The tracks in the woods behind the house were inconsistent.

How so?

Ben weighs 180 pounds, forensics said that the prints

in the ground we're possibly made by someone much lighter.

Possibly.

-And then there's Maria Allende. -The nanny.

Who vanished without a trace.

How could she be involved in this case?

You know the cloned cell, maybe she was the one making all the calls to Ben's Blackberry.

-It's a bit of a stretch. -Be nice to question her?

We caught the guy who did it, unfortunately he panicked

and he killed that little girl before we could get to him.

Case closed.

I guess you're right.

I'm going out for coffee, want one?

Always. Thanks.

Do we have any ideas where Waters was going?

No.

Victim trauma tried to follow up last week, no luck.

We thought we knew where he was but I guess not. No-one can find him.

Do you find that strange?

A little. Given what he's gone through.

Hey, we got the bad guy.

Yeah... yeah we did.

I'll drive you home.

Just leave it.

I'll sort it out later.

I'm going to keep the bear.

Beck, you can't, it's logged in as evidence.

Yeah, evidence gets misplaced all the time.

Why do you want it?

Just a reminder of the little girl.

Why keep all the bad memories?

It's hard to let go.

Try.

Give it a rest, Andy and drive me home.

-Hi. -Hi.

How was shopping?

I missed you.

Missed you, too.

-Hungry? -Yes.

Waiter!

Megan! Come on honey. Time for lunch.

-Hello. -Hi.

Daddy look, it's Mr. Wiggles.
