Colleen?

Get yourself in
out of the rain!

Sorry to just
show up like this.

Oh, good morning,
sunshine.

I didn't expect
to see you today.

Jake, honey...

You want to play
for a sec, while I talk

with Mrs. Reese?

I need to ask
you a favor.

Oh, Colleen.

If you could just
watch him till noon?

You know I visit
my father on Thursdays.

Please, Mrs. Reese.

I wouldn't ask if it
wasn't an emergency.

What emergency?

They scheduled
a training class at work

and if I miss it,
I get fired.

Well, all right then.

As long as you're back by noon.

Thank you so much, Mrs. Reese.

Not to add
to your woes, hon,

but you're a few days behind.

You know I love Jake to pieces,

but I need
to make a living, too.

I'm sorry, I'll make it
up to you, I promise.

Give mommy a hug bye-bye.

I love you every day
and twice on Sunday.

I'll see you
soon, sweetheart.

Okay?

Hey, sorry I'm late.
Traffic was a bitch.

What do you got?

All right.

Colleen McGrath, age 25,
living in White Plains.

She dropped off
her son Jake

at the baby-sitters
and never came back.

Any idea where
she was going?
To work.

She has a job
at Every Mart,

one of those big
retail outlets.

She was supposed
to be back by noon.

By 9:00 p.m. she still
hadn't picked up her kid,

so the sitter
called the cops.

The cops called
Social Services.

So is uh, uh, is she
a familiar face

around here?
No, no
complaints.

No record of abuse, no
record of neglect, nothing.

What about a father?

We don't know
who he is.

We barely know
who she is.

No New York
driver's license

or current
address so far.

I get the feeling she wasn't
exactly living the high life.

If she's a single mom
doing it hard,

she might have just split.

Well, her kid's wearing

fifth generation
hand-me-downs,

but he's clean,
he's healthy.

Seems like she
was a good mother.

I assume that's Jake?

Yep.

He say anything?

Just that he
wants his mom.

DANNY:
And did Colleen have a history

of not showing up?

She's never
even been late.

Something happened,
I just know it.

So you don't think
she could have

just picked up
and walked away?

Oh, that little boy
is her whole world.

I can't see her
up and leaving him.

But it was unusual

for her to bring
him here on a Thursday?

Well, that's one
of my days off.

She has somebody else
watch Jake on Thursdays.

Do you know who this person is
or where we could find them?

No, I'm afraid I don't.

Getting back to Colleen,

do you know where she lives?

Yeah, in one of those
weekly-rate motels.

The Glen Capri,
I think it's called.

What about Jake's dad?

Did Colleen ever mention him?

Not that I remember.

Now you said that she seemed
upset when she dropped Jake off.

Were there any
other changes

in her behavior lately?

Well... last week when
she came to pick up Jake.

Colleen was usually so stressed
about money, but not this time.

Those are the ones
you wanted, remember?

They light up
when you step on them.

Is that cool or what?

Wow, those are
some fancy sneakers.

Yeah, sometimes you've
got to live a little.

Must have really set you back.

And worth every cent.

Look at him.

Oh.

For you.

For today and tomorrow.

You're paying ahead?

What did they do?
Give you

a raise
at work or something?

Yeah, that'll be the day.

Don't worry, okay?

She never did say

how she came
into that money.

But... but yesterday
it was gone.

Yep.

Do you think that she was
involved in something illegal?

Oh, she's not the type,

but it made me wonder.

and she was so nervous

when she dropped Jake off--
afraid even.

I'm not sure

how I can help
you exactly.

You can start by telling me what
you know about Colleen McGrath.

She's been an associate
for almost six months.

She's a great worker.

Terrific gal.

She's part
of the Every Mart family.

Um, Mr., uh, Burdock,
do you have any idea

why she might
have gone missing?

Are you guys sure
she is missing?

I mean, we have employee
retention issues.

Sometimes, people just leave.

Not without their
kids they don't.

She has kids?

I guess the Every
Mart family's

not that big
on communication.

Yes, she has
a three-year-old son.

Geez, I had no idea.

Huh. Apparently not.

Now, I'm told that
Colleen came here

for a training
class yesterday.

What can you
tell me about that?

There wasn't any
training class.

There wasn't?

You didn't see her?
No.

I wouldn't expect to.

She's off on Mondays
and Thursdays.

She have any problems with
boyfriends, coworkers, drugs?

Not that I'm aware of.

Okay.

I'm going to need Colleen's

employment records.

I'll need to talk to all
of her coworkers.

You're going to have

to wait until
they're on break.

Associates can't conduct
personal business

on the floor.
Sorry. It's policy.

Mr. Burdock, I am conducting
a federal investigation.

I will talk to whomever,
wherever, whenever I want to.

Mr. Cleary, that sign
says no vacancy.

Why's this
place so dead?

All the tenants are at work.

Look, I gotta say,
I'm not comfortable

letting you
in Colleen's room.

Why is that,
Mr. Cleary?

Out of respect for her privacy.

We don't care about
code violations.

Just open the door.

Ooh, the presidential suite.

You get what you pay for.

I'll say.

You know if Colleen
really did take off...

she didn't take much with her.

Hey, Danny?

What do you make of this?

Let me see.

Looks like
it's got pins

in the front, pins in the back.

Looks like
a pretty fancy key.

Where's the fancy lock,
Mr. Cleary?

I assume it doesn't go
with this motel?

Never seen it before.

Mr. Cleary, do you
know if Colleen

has a husband,
a boyfriend?

I get the feeling

she wasn't
a one-man kind of girl,

if you know what I mean.

No. Tell us.

A few days back,

I got a noise complaint.

Apparently Colleen is

entertaining a man in her room.

Next night I figured out what
she was up to and I busted her.

$200.

I know.

I know that.

Look, I'll do whatever you want.

Okay.

Bye.

Take it someplace
else, Colleen.

What do you mean?

You can't do
your business here.

I'm not giving you
a second warning.

I was just using the phone.

"I'll do whatever you want"?

Not in my hotel you don't.

I don't need
that kind of trouble.

Just leave me alone, Claude.

I know you and some guy

were going at it in your room.

I catch you turn another
trick here, you're out.

Just leave me alone.

I guess I really hit a nerve.

I can't imagine why.

Look, with Colleen
gone and all,

I mean, I gotta rent this room
or I lose money, so if you guys

are pretty much done...

No, we're not.

Oh.

Colleen McGrath

has no phone, no car,

no credit cards,
no bank accounts.

She's fallen right
off the grid.

She was never
on it to begin with.

Well, she's got
a clean record,

no prostitution busts.

Well, she was making
extra money somehow.

She must have
had a second job.

She only has one set
of payroll deductions.

Well, then she
got paid in cash.

Colleen worked at Every Mart

five days a week, right?
Right.

Other two days she
was working someplace else.

You seem pretty sure about that.

Do the math.

There's no way she
could make ends meet

with just this one job.

People do it all the time, Sam.

On seven bucks an hour?

I mean think about this.

Just staying at that motel,
Martin, cost her $175 a week.

In a place
like White Plains

she could rent
a studio for less.

Yeah, but she'd have

to come up
with a security deposit,

first and last month.

How's she going
to save that up?

Okay, Every Mart kept her
under 40 hours

so that they didn't
have to pay benefits.

So her take-home
tops out at $227 a week.

On top of rent,

she has child care, food...

All right, what if it just
got to be too much

and she couldn't do it anymore?

No. She was struggling,
but she was getting by.

Well, then why
did she buy this?

A backpack?

Purchased
at Every Mart

through her
employee discount,

on the same day that she bought

those fancy shoes
for her son. Listen,

maybe Colleen gave him those
shoes as a good-bye present

before she hit the road.

Okay, but all her stuff
was still at the motel.

Mm-hmm.

If she left, why didn't
she take it with her?

Nora?

Special Agent
Jack Malone, FBI.

So I gather.

FBI showing up-- that's
big excitement around here.

I'm told that you
and Colleen McGrath
were good friends.

We must be--
I'm smoking nonstop

since I heard she was gone.

I understand
that she was experiencing

some financial
difficulties.

Yeah, I guess a big
expense had come up.

Any idea what that was?

It's not like being broke's
big news around here.

What can you tell me
about the men in her life?

Oh, there's just Jake,
that's it.

Nobody else around
here seems to know
that she has a kid.

Well, I hope
you didn't tell them.

What, is it a secret?

From management.

The store would just
as soon not hire moms.

They figure you'll be late,
miss more days.

Right.

Uh, let's just get back
to the men for a minute.

Um... we believe
that Colleen might have
been turning tricks.

Oh, she's scraping by,
so she must be a whore?

That's not what I'm
saying-- we just know

she had a second job.
We all do.

You can't live off what you earn
at this cheap-ass place.

Colleen cleaned houses
on her days off, same as me.

Do you know who
she worked for?

Nah. But I know she was
having trouble with them.

Hey, Nora, you
got a minute?

Sure, honey, what's up?

I was wondering if you know
of any other cleaning gigs.

Well, what about
that house you got?

It's getting weird there.

Weird how?

With the husband.

He coming on to you?

I'd rather not talk about it.

Oh, I been there before, baby.

I know what
you're thinking.

What kind of freak
wants to get in
my pants, right?

You'd be surprised.

No, I wasn't thinking
that at all.

:
The point is,

if it gets ugly, get out.

I can't.

Not unless I line up
something else.

You hear about anything,
just let me know, okay?

You got it.

She didn't bring it up after
that, and I didn't push it.

You think this...
you think this dude
did something to her?

That's what we
have to look into.

Any idea what this
guy's name is?

No, but I-I'm pretty sure
his house is in Scarsdale.

Colleen once said
he drove some red sports car.

I'm not seeing any calls
to Scarsdale, Jack.

From what I can make out,

she's been working for the guy
for, like, five months.

So she would have had
to call him for something.

Maybe so, but that's
one call in thousands.

Everyone at the motel
uses that pay phone.

I got something--
multiple calls

to a Ted Fortman
on 1461 June Street
in Scarsdale.

Here's the red car.

Yeah, I haven't met
Mr. Fortman yet,

but I feel like
I know him already.

What, not your type?
No.

Well, what is your type?

I'll never tell.

Mr. Fortman,
Special Agent Spade.

This is Special
Agent Taylor.

We're with the FBI.

What can I do for you?

Well, we wanted
to ask you

a few questions
about Colleen McGrath.

I don't know anybody
by that name, so...

How'd you get that shiner?

:
Uh... I don't think
that's any of your business.

Mr. Fortman, does
this key look familiar?

No. No.

You ever seen
this woman before?

No, I have never
seen her before.

Are you sure about that?

Mr. Fortman,
you're not helping yourself.

You won't explain
how you got the black eye,

Colleen McGrath
has gone missing...

I had nothing to do
with that.
Then why

did you lie
about not knowing her?

That was stupid,
I got flustered.

Well, here's
your chance

to set the record straight.

Well, I told you,
she's the maid.

Yeah, that's not all
she is, is she?

I don't follow.
I think you do.

I believe that your
wife just booked
a trip to Cancun

'cause of a falling out
you had.
You spoke to my wife?

Long enough for her to tell me

that she was gonna file
for a divorce.

I have a feeling
it had something
to do with Colleen.

You had an affair with her?

Look...

I was having an affair, okay,
but not with the help.

Her name is Colleen.
Colleen McGrath.

Yeah, well,
this whole mess is her fault.

This ought to be good.

Uh, how is it all her fault?

A week and a half ago,
my wife was in the city,

so I brought home a lady friend.

And, you know, I forgot that,
uh, Colleen

was there

and she walked in on us.

What did you do?

Well, we had a little talk
about... being discreet.

I thought we had
an understanding, and...

a couple days later

I found out I was wrong.

What are you doing here?

Just finishing up.

You think still have
a job after what
you did to me?

What do you mean?

My wife just left me
because of your big mouth,
that's what I mean.

I didn't tell her anything.
She knew I had

a woman here--
how did she know

about that, huh?

I don't know,
not from me.

I wouldn't do that.
I need this job.

Well, you should have
thought about that

before you ratted me out.
Now, leave.

You have to believe me,

Mr. Fortman.

I never said a word. I swear.

Get out.

If your wife really is gone,

you'll need somebody
who can look after this house.

Get out of my house.

Fine!

But I want my $100.

For the two days I worked.

Take it up with my wife, okay?

You probably spent $100
at lunch.

I need that money.

I am not giving you a dime.

And I'm not leaving
until I get it.

You're not leaving?
Come on, let's go.
Don't!

Hey!

Ow! Damn!

You hit me
in the eye!

$100.

You pig.

Mr. Fortman,
you are a class act.

So, what happened then?

She stormed off and drove away,
and that was it.

She drove?

There was a pickup
waiting for her.

It was black
with a red stripe.

Do you know who was driving?

I didn't see that.

Okay, before this big,

uh, blowout...

you notice anything different
in Colleen's behavior?

She's the maid.

Okay, um, we're gonna need you
to look at some photos,

I.D. the make and model
of that truck, all right?

We're also gonna need you
to establish your whereabouts

when Colleen went missing.

Thanks, Mr. Carter,
we appreciate your help.

Ted Fortman's
got an alibi.

That's okay, because
Colleen's ex-boyfriend,

Ray Weaver, is starting
to fit the profile.

How'd you get
a line on him?
Court records.

He's Jake's dad,
and it turns out

he owes Colleen five grand
in back child support.

Plus, his ex-roommate said
that Colleen called

last week
looking for Ray.

Maybe she tried to
make him pay up, and
it didn't go well.

Yeah, that's
what I'm thinking.

Did the roommate have
an address on him?
No,

nothing current,
but he said he's
in construction.

He works as a day player
on salvage crews

around the city.

Yeah, I know, so do
a thousand other guys, but...

All right,
I'll get a list

of contractors
and start calling.

Hey, we could use some
extra bodies on this.

Where's Danny and Viv?

They're at the motel
re-canvassing

now that Colleen's neighbors
are home from work.

All right.

We think Colleen may
have been riding around
in a black truck.

Have you seen a truck
like this around here?

Nope.

I don't suppose you know of
any local baby

Sure don't.

Someone's calling for a Colleen!

Is there a Colleen
around here?

I'll take it.

Hi. Who am I speaking with?

Dr. Evans?
Yes.

We're with the FBI.

We understand
you called the hotel

looking for
Colleen McGrath.

Right, I spoke
to your colleague.

I can't believe she's missing.

Is there someplace
we can talk in private?
Uh, yeah, sure.

So you were calling her
about her son?

Yeah, I was just
following up.

Following up
about what?
She brought him in

about a week and a half ago
for routine vaccinations,

but then I discovered a problem.

What kind of problem?
I had our E.N.T.

take a look at Jake.

We found some scarring
in his ear canal.

Scarring?

From what?

An untreated infection
maybe, it's hard
to really know.

Is it serious?

We just have to deal
with the fact

that he has some hearing loss
in that right ear.

Permanent hearing loss?
The E.N.T. says

about 40%.

I mean... Jake's
in his own world sometimes,

but I never thought...

I mean, he's...
he's a dreamy kid, you know?

I was the same way.

It's not as bad
as it sounds.

All right, it's
completely treatable.

Jake just needs
a hearing aid.

A hearing aid?

:
How much do they cost?

Well, you should be able
to find one for about $500.

I don't have that kind
of money, Dr. Evans.

And I don't have
any way of getting it.

This can't wait, Colleen.

We don't want
this affecting
his development.

Is there a state program, maybe?

Not that you qualify for.

But I know a woman,
she's a foster mom.

She got her boy
a hearing aid.

That's different.

Foster children are the
state's responsibility.

Lucky for them.

I wrote a prescription

for the hearing aid,
and then she left.

Do you know if she filled
the prescription?

That's what I was calling
to find out.

Yeah, listen, uh,

I really got to get
back to my patients.

I hope you find Colleen.
Thank you.

Well, that's probably why
she needed extra money.

Yeah. She knew

that if he was in
foster care, he'd get
that hearing aid.

She didn't do it,
Martin, okay?

I don't believe
she's the kind of woman

who would abandon her child,
so let's just drop it.

Hey, Viv, any luck?

Nobody's talking.

Not exactly getting a lot
of love are we?

Hey!

F.B...

Hey, it's okay.

I'm with the F.B.I.

Do you know that guy?

His name's Jeff.

His family lives here.

The cops are after him

for joy riding or something.

You guys are here
about Colleen, huh?

Yeah, do you know her?

Not really.

I just hope you find her,
that's all.

You know, people stay missing
or get found on a small detail.

So if you know anything
at all that might help.

Okay.

Well, for one thing, Colleen
came by yesterday morning

asking me
if I could watch her son.

I couldn't.

I had to go to work.

Have you watched
him in the past?

I hardly know Colleen.

But she was real desperate.

There was a problem
with the sitter.

What kind of problem?

I don't know.

Do you know who
the sitter is?

No.

What's the other thing?

Sorry?

You said, "For one thing,
Colleen..."

What's the other thing?

I'd just gone to go get
some groceries,

and I was heading back to my
room, minding my own business.

MAN:
I want that thousand dollars!

Damn it.

What are you looking at?

Nothing.

Are you okay?

He's going to kill me.

I don't know who this guy is,

but if he knew
that I was talking to you,

he'd come after me,
like he did Colleen.

SAMANTHA:
It's a cool bus, Jake.

Is that your
favorite bus?
Yeah.

Jake, I want to ask you
a question, okay?

When your mommy
is at work

and Mrs. Reese isn't taking care
of you, who takes care of you?

Jean.

Jean?

Okay. Is Jean a girl like me?

Jake, I want to show you
a picture, okay?

Okay?

Do you know who that man is?

Do you know who it is?

I want my mommy.

I'm sorry, Jake.

I didn't mean to scare you.

I think that's enough.

I'm sorry.

Cover the inside.

Hey, Nora.

May I?

Yeah.

When you going to
quit these things?

They're going to kill you.

I don't want to get fat.

I'll save it for later.

All right, I'm going to
post a bunch of these things

around the neighborhood.

Does this guy
look familiar to you?

Hard to say,
as many faces as I see.

What about that pickup?
Who belongs to that?

That's the boss's,
Mr. Burdock.

You think Mr. Burdock and
Colleen were hooking up?

That's disgusting.
Of course not.

Though I heard that they
had some kind of argument

in the stockroom last week.

That's good to know, Nora.
Thanks.

Hey, what the hell?

Why are you
doing this to me?

You lied to me,
all right?

You picked up Colleen
from a cleaning job.

Is that a crime?
I used to give her
a ride when I could.

Oh, yeah?
What kind of ride is that?

It wasn't like that.

She was always having
to take the bus or walk.

The word is you two had
a fight in the stockroom.

What was that about?

I cared for Colleen,

but she put me in an
impossible situation.

Hey, Colleen.
Hi, Mr. Burdock.

Come on, call me Dwayne.

Isn't it your day off?

Yeah.

You know what,
I've really got to run.

Whoa, whoa.

Wh

Nothing.

What's in the bag, Colleen?

What the hell is wrong with you?

I'm sorry.

Your sorry?

Look, I needed the money.

For a medical thing.

I didn't know what else to do.

So this is your solution

Now you're out of a job.

No, please, Mr. Burdock,

I swear, I've never
done anything like this.

Please, Mr. Burdock,

give me another chance.

Please.

Don't ever do this again.

I won't.

Thank you.

So you just let her walk?

I guess I have
a soft spot for her.

You don't even know her.

She's trying to raise money
for a hearing aid for her son,

that apparently
you know nothing about.

You expect me to believe

that you let her go out of
the goodness of your heart?

That's right.

You strike me as quite
the humanitarian, Mr. Burdock.

Let's go to your office and
discuss this a little further.

Look, I stuck
my neck out for her.

If this gets out
it's going to cost me my job.

Yeah, you lie to me again I'm
going to make sure it gets out.

I'll have it announced at
the next blue-light special.

Ray Weaver?

Special Agent Johnson
and Taylor.

Whoa. This can't be
about my child support.

No, it's about Colleen.

She went missing two days ago,
Ray.

What?

Oh, man, what about Jake?

Relax. Jake's okay, he's
with Social Services.

Well, I need to see him.
We understand,
that but you're

going to have
to answer some questions.

Now we know that Colleen

tried to reach you.

Have you seen her?

No, but she started calling
this past week.

The last I heard from her

was three days ago.

She was in a full-on panic.

Yeah?

I need money, Ray.

Colleen, look, if this is about
the hearing aid...

No, I took care of that.

But I need a thousand dollars.

Hey, I said I'd make good on
the child support and I will.

I need a thousand, right now.

What for?

It doesn't matter what for.

Listen, I can't just pull
a grand out of my ass.

This is life and death, Ray.

What are you talking about
life and death?

Colleen, are you there?

I need that money.

Please, Ray, I need that money.

I'd never heard Colleen
so worked up.

I wired her 268 bucks
to a check cashing joint.

That's everything I scraped
together for Jake's hearing aid.

She said she bought it already?

Yeah, which was news to me.

Now, did she ever mention
a baby

Just that she was trouble.

Do you know Jean's last name?

Morris, I think it was.

I've told you guys everything I
know, now I want to see my son.

Okay. We'll take you to him.

Hi.
Hey.

So, uh, Ray Weaver was right.

Colleen ordered the hearing aid
from a Bayside Pharmacy.

She paid in advance,
but she never picked it up.

Where'd she get
that kind of money?

Why did she need
a grand from Ray

when she'd already
purchased it?

None of this makes any sense.

Yeah.

You know, unless...
unless she borrowed
the money

from a loan shark,
to cover the cost

and then was unable
to pay it back.

The loan shark being the guy
who roughed her up at the motel.

Mm. The tracks.

That would explain her phone
call to her supposed John.

The loan shark
is pressing her to pay up.

She only has $200.

Mm-hmm.

Where ever she is,
she's in trouble, Martin.

This case is really
getting to you.

Yeah.

Is it the kid?

It's all of it.

I found our baby-sitter.

Jean Morris?

No Jean Morris,
but I found a
Jeanette Marris.

She lives in White
Plains and get this:

in the last two months she's
called Every Mart ten times.

She's got to be
looking for Colleen.

Let's go.

Thanks, man.

Jeanette Marris, F.B.I.
Open the door, please.

We got one down.

Clear.

She's alive.

Jeanette Marris?

Jeanette Marris!

Can you hear me?

Sam, check it out.

SAMANTHA:
Heroin.

Maybe the trouble between
Colleen and Jeanette

had to do with this.

SAMANTHA:
Hey, wake up.

Hey, come on!
Let's get her up.

What the hell?
Rise and shine.

Let's go.
Who are you?

FBI. Where's Colleen?

I don't know any Colleen.

That's a lie, Jeanette.

Hey, where'd
this come from, huh?

That's not mine.
Oh, no?

Whose is it, then?

You've got to be quicker
than that, Jeanette.

I suppose this isn't
yours either, huh?

I don't do that anymore.

Oh, yeah? Then why
can't you stop looking
at it, hmm

Where's your spot,
Jeanette?
Let go of me!

Where's your spot?
Get off!

Hey, hey, you want this?
Do you want this?

Huh?

You know you do.

Just say the word,
I'll fix you up.

Think she's kidding?

Just give us what we want and we
can all walk out of here happy.

I get to keep my stash?

Yeah, you can keep
your stash.

What do I got to do?

Tell me about Colleen.

It was last week.

I had it kicked.

I was clean
until she came along.

Hey, Jake.

Going somewhere,
Colleen?

Just taking a bus ride
to the city.

Is it okay if I put
his juice in the fridge?

He wants it cold.

Sure, whatever.

See you later, honey.

I should be back by 7:00.

What happened
when Colleen got back?

She got pretty
bent out of shape.

Mommy!
Hi, sweetie.

Look what I got for you.

You like it?

Why don't you play
for a sec?

Give it back.

Don't know what
you're talking about.

My backpack was never out
of my sight, except
when I was here.

What, are you
calling me a thief?

I was one bag short.

That's over
a thousand dollars worth.

You brought drugs into my house?

Where is it, Jeanette?

It isn't mine, okay?

Do you know what they're
going to do to me

if I don't get it back?

Like I said, I don't know
what you're talking about.

Yes, you do.

Let go of me,
before I call the cops.

You want to tell
them your story?

Now get the hell out.

SAMANTHA:
Did she say whose
drugs they were?

No.
How about where

they were being delivered?

Um, said she was taking a bus
to the city.

That's all she said.
I don't know.

All right, I'll bag this
and get it to the lab.

Wait, you said I
could have that.
You stay right where you are.

You arresting me,
you bitch?

Yeah, I'm arresting you.
Colleen's got drug dealers

thinking she ripped them
off because of you.

Let's go.

Maggie Scott?

Special Agent Jack Malone.

Thanks for taking
the time to talk to me.

I got plenty to spare.
What's this about?

We're looking for a woman
who worked as a drug mule.

Based on the chemical
analysis of the heroin,

it would appear
that you and she worked

for the same smuggling ring.

I'm trying to find out more
about the organization.

Well, I gave
detailed statements.

I'm sure you've seen them.

I'd like to hear it
from you.

I was working
in a coffee shop.

This guy, Ken, would
come in on occasion.

We would talk.

He saw I needed money.

One day he told me
he knew an easy way
I could make $800.

And he offered you
half up front, right?

At the time, it
felt like I had
won the lottery.

So how'd it work?

I would take a bus
to Port Authority.

Someone would meet me.

I'd give them a tote
bag full of drugs,

and they'd give me the
other half of my money.

But?

But I never made it
to Port Authority.

I was waiting for
my bus to the city

when a cop pulled up.

And I got so nervous, I fainted.

He went to help me
and looked inside

the tote bag for my ID.

Found the heroin.

Prosecutor made it sound like I
was some kind of drug kingpin.

And here I was, practically
living out of my car.

I got five years for
possession with intent,

plus another five

for being within
a thousand feet of a school.

Live and learn.

If you ever find this missing
woman, have her stop by.

I'll scare her straight.

She delivered short.

Well, then I guess she's
not exactly missing, is she?

Thanks.

Excuse me,
Mr. Peters?

I'm Special Agent Spade
with the FBI.

How can I help you?

We think this woman took a bus
to White Plains five days ago.

Does she look
familiar to you?

Yeah. I remember this lady.

You do?
Where was she?

Right there,
sitting on that bench.

You don't forget someone
having that bad a day.

We're boarding, ma'am.

Last call,
515 to White Plains.

Are you all right, ma'am?

:
Everything's just
gone so wrong.

I'm sure that's not true.

Oh, is that your son?

Yeah.

He's a good-
looking boy.

Do you think he'd, uh,

you think he'd like
one of these?

Thank you.

It's never as bad as you think.

:
I think this time it is.

Was she with anyone else?

Nah, she was alone.

Okay. Thank you for your time.

How'd it go at Port Authority?

Pretty much a dead end.

Well, tomorrow's
another day.

You're going home?

Yeah.

The case is going cold,

and I haven't seen my son
in two days.

Right.

Sorry.

It's okay.

Though if you want
to keep on pushing,

you can help Martin
go through those.

What are they?

Case files.

Uh, Viv had the DEA send over
anything that might be relevant.

Shouldn't have been
so hard for her, you know?

She deserved better.

We'll find her, Sam.

She just didn't leave us
much to go on.

Martin...

this isn't about records,
or files, or paper trails.

The problem is, she's invisible.

I mean, this woman has
vanished into thin air.

And if it weren't for Jake,

it wouldn't have even made
a ripple.

I can't...
I just, I feel like

things happen
to people like
her, you know?

They happen,
and-and no one notices

and no one is held accountable.

Well, the best way to do
something about that

would be to help me
with these files.

Okay?

Okay.

Hmm.

There's a couple
of files here
on a drug mule

that went missing
two years ago in
Westchester County.

A similar profile,
26-year-old woman,

Elizabeth Rogers.

What happened to her?

Um...

They, uh, found her body
a month later.

In the Raritan River.

She'd been shot.

Was there a suspect?

:
I'm not sure.

What?

There was a suspect.

The witnesses
had a description.

That's the same guy.

Sam?

Where you going?

Jack...

whoever this man is,

he took Colleen

and she's not the first.

I think I know how to get him.

Okay, I'm listening.
