REPORTER :
We have unconfirmed reports

that the suspect,
Terry Lee Wicker

is wanted for recent murders
in the Las Vegas area.

But for now,
authorities will only say

that he is armed
and extremely dangerous

and that they
are very concerned

for the ten-year-old boy

abducted yesterday outside
a school in Boulder City.

Reporter Kelly Walker was there

for this morning's
press conference.

WALKER:
Clark County Sheriff
Diego Nunez delivered

a stark assessment
of the suspect this morning,

saying that
this child abduction

was not Wicker's first.

NUNEZ:
The FBI told us Wicker
kidnapped a four-year-old

in New York City
six years ago

and the boy
hasn't been seen since.

We want Kobe Farentino back
safe and sound in Boulder City

and we're not going to stop
until he is,

but we're gonna need
the public's help.

WALKER:
According to the sheriff,
Wicker is six feet tall, thin

with brown hair.
He is 35 years of age.

If you see him...

Excuse me, sir.
My son's not feeling well.

I think you need to get him
off the bus,

see if I can find a doctor.

Jack Malone, FBI.

Gil Grissom,

Las Vegas Crime Lab.
Nobody touched anything

except Lenny.
He got here about 10:00.

Saw the bus to the gate
at auto lot.

Realized all the keys
in the lockbox were missing.

Does Lenny know
which car was stolen?

He's not much
of a record keeper.

Any kind of a surveillance
system here?

No, sir. Think this
Wicker's involved?

Bus driver said
he dropped him off nearby.

Do you know if any
of the businesses around

have security cameras

that would catch a piece
of the street?

See what I can dig up.

That'd be great. Thanks.

So what do
you think?

I think somebody rubbed up
against this door recently.

This is where the car was.

Right.

"Rift of..."

Drift off.

OTC sleep medication.

That'd be enough
to subdue the kid.

Yeah,

but nobody sleeps forever.

Malone.

Are you two still in Hillside?

No, it's just me. Gil Grissom's

headed back to Vegas to finish
processing Gina Farentino's car.

What's going on?

It's more than likely

that Wicker's gonna abandon
the car he stole,

so we're checking

rail yards and airports
within a 200-mile radius.

Any luck finding
any known associates?

Well, Wicker has a sister listed
as an emergency contact

at his last known job.

We're trying to track her down.

What kind of work did he do?

He worked maintenance
on the railroad

and got fired about
nine and a half years ago.

That fits perfectly.

Explains why
he travels on trains.

We have a home address?

He had an apartment

in Astoria about ten years ago,

but a neighbor said he
disappeared after Kobe was born

and then Gina moved out
two weeks after that.

That fits the timetable
of Jason's adoption.

Yeah, and since we don't know

the identity
of his birth parents,

it's possible that Kobe
is Jason Taylor.

You should bring in his sister,
see if she can confirm it.

*

*

Yeah, that's
definitely him.

That's the man
that picked Kobe up.

And you just let him?

Normally, Kobe walks home.

He didn't need permission
to leave school grounds.

Did he seem alarmed?

No, no.
But why would he?

The man who come by the school
earlier that day

with Kobe's mother.

Is that him
in the green shirt?

No.

Hey, Miss Farentino.

Hi, Mr. Polchek.

Kobe, your mom's here!

No, you don't have
to interrupt him.

Kobe, come here!

It's lunch.

I'm not interrupting
anything.

Mom, I got a "Perfect"
on my history test.

Hey, Kobe.

This is your uncle.

Terry.
You know,
from back East.

He's a friend
of the family.

Your mom tells me
you're quite the artist.

I'm okay.

I'm not in town very long,
Mr. Polchek.

Could I go look
at Kobe's pictures?

I'm sure

we'll have time for that later.

I'd like to see them now.

We got about 20 minutes
before class.

Why don't you go through there
to the office?

Tell them I said
it was okay.

Kobe's a good boy,

but he needs a male influence
in his life.

I thought an uncle
was a good thing.

Did he talk to anyone later?

His friend Angelica.

I'm gonna need to speak to her.

Of course.

Gina must be worried to death.

This is 11:50
this morning.

VIVIAN:
No front plate.

DANNY:
Arizona, not a requirement.

I didn't see the boy.

Well, maybe he's asleep
in the back seat.

Maybe. What is that,
a late '80s Buick?

VIVIAN:
That would be my guess.

All right,
I'll update the APB.

Viv, we know Wicker
abducted Jason Taylor

six years ago
in New York.

Now, if Kobe's our kid,

how did Wicker
lose track of him

and then have to
abduct him again?

Well, maybe Gina was in on it
originally,

but killing the baby-sitter
wasn't part of the plan.

So she got scared and ran.

Wouldn't you?

She shouldn't have stopped
running.

Mr. Polchek tells me
that you're Kobe's best friend.

Best school friend.

You're not friends
outside of school?

He plays soccer.

I play piano.

Um, did he say anything
about the man

that he met
yesterday?

It's okay, honey.

He said
it was a secret.

You know, Angelica, there,
there are some secrets

that are not so good,
and I'm just trying

to make sure this is
not one of them.

Kobe said he was gonna go look
at the art projects.

That's on my game last week.

I scored a goal.

It wasn't like the winning
goal or anything.

Well, still, that's...

Yeah, it was cool.

I wish I could have
seen it.

Be nice to hang around
together, wouldn't it?

I guess.

You know, kick a ball,
eat hamburgers,

that kind of thing?

You're gonna have to ask my mom.

All right.

Um...

your mom doesn't think
this is the right time

for me to tell you this,

but, um...

Tell me what?

I owe you a big apology, Kobe.

I wasn't smart before, and
I ran out on you and your mom.

I'm your dad.

My dad's dead.

I understand why
she told you that.

She was just trying to protect
you, but look at me.

I'm definitely not dead.

Listen, you can't tell anyone
we had this talk,

not even your mom. Not yet.

Why not?

I'm setting up this vacation
for the three of us,

and if we tell her, she might
not want us to go right now.

So you want to go on vacation,
don't you?

Where are we going?

First stop's here.

Maybe we'll do
some camping.

You like camping,
don't you?

Yeah, me, too.

I think it's gonna be
a great adventure.

Did he say where
they were gonna go?

Tucson.

Jack Malone, FBI.

How you doing?

Deputy Wheelock.

The Buick from your APB's
right over there.

I think we may have found
something of interest

next to this structure.

There's some dirt here

that's been recently
disturbed.

We haven't touched it.

Do me a favor, will ya?

Go have yourself
a cup of coffee.

Yes, sir.

Yeah.

Wicker bought
two roundtrip tickets

from Tucson to New York.

The gate agent screwed up
and didn't realize

he let Wicker on the plane

until he got home
and saw him on the news.

What time did the plane land?

About an hour ago.

We sent units, but he was
nowhere to be found.

Okay. Thanks.

JACK:
There's a reason he came back.

Well, from what we've been able
to find out

he spent a lot of time
in the area,

and I suppose there's comfort
in the familiar.

Yeah, but he's a fugitive.

It doesn't make any sense
for him to come back

to a place
where he'd be identified.

VIVIAN:
Could be he thinks the Vegas
luck rubbed off on him.

We were able to get
a hold of his sister.

She should be here
in about 20 minutes.

Hopefully, she can tell us
where he might have gone.

Does she know he's here?

No. She hasn't talked to him
in a long time.

Command post.

Yeah, sure. Thanks.

That was security.

CSI Grissom from Las Vegas
is here.

New York here?

Lobby here. He's on his way up.

JACK:
Grissom.

What the hell
are you doing here?

Hello, Jack.

You know, when I asked for
the evidence to be transported

to New York, I didn't expect
you to deliver it personally.

These are my boxes. I want
to make sure I get them back.

Also, I have news.

When they exhumed

the child's body
in Tucson,

it was clear from the state
of decomp

that it had been in the ground
a long time.

I also found
a circular stain

on the clothing
around the child's neck.

Whatever made the stain
had been removed.

And what would that be?

I don't know yet.
I have more work to do.

Would you, uh...

have some place
where I could do it?

We have...

we have a lab in the base...

Oh, Elena.

Agent Delgado, I'd like to meet
Las Vegas CSI Gil Grissom.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you, too.

Would you mind escorting
him to the lab?

The, um...?

Mm-hmm.

Oh, okay. Um, let's take
the rear elevators.

I never even met the baby.

Terry and Gina were married
before he was born,

and the relationship ended
almost immediately.

Your brother was introduced
to Kobe as an uncle,

so I'm assuming
they were estranged.

Terry... has a hard time

connecting to people.

Do you really think
he took Kobe?

Oh, yeah, we're positive.

Well, I'm sure Gina's scared,

but there's no way
he's going to hurt their son.

How long since
you've seen your brother?

Um... must have been
about six years ago.

Sylvia.

Hey!

Terry.
Hey.

How are you?
Good.

Good.

It's been two hours
since you called.

I was beginning to think
you weren't coming by.

I just took me a little while
to get here.

I brought you something.

Aw, you didn't need
to do that.

You're my sister.

Wow.

You like it?

Yeah.

I just... I just think
you should use the money

to take care of yourself.

I'm fine.

Well, thanks.

Hey, before we go in,

I just... I need you
to know that I'm
seeing someone now.

Oh, yeah?

Roger.

He's got two kids.

That's great.

Yeah.

But that means that
you can't stay with us.

Not this time.

We just don't have room.

We can't have you

hanging around for two weeks
only to disappear

without me knowing
where you're going.

The kids wouldn't know
what to make of that.

I'll find someplace else.

Terry...

I just think you got
to get your life together.

You were so happy
when you were with Gina.

I screwed it up.

So it didn't work out.

Try again.

You know, go back
to the therapist

you were seeing
and figure out what happened.

I better go.

He called collect once more

to ask if he could come by

and stay.

And I said no.

He hung up, and that's
the last I heard from him.

Do you have any idea
what therapist he saw?

Someone through the union.

I don't know his name.

Okay.

I'd like your permission
to get your phone records.

See if we can figure out where
he could have called you from.

You just need
to sign right here.

You know...

Terry was in jail once
for stealing.

Has he done something
like that again?

We have strong evidence
linking him to recent murders

in the Las Vegas area.

What?

Um... oh, my God.

No, that can't be true.

You approach with stealth.

Something I picked up in 'Nam.

Um, I'm Samantha Spade.

You called
upstairs.

Oh, right.

I mentioned the gift card

that I found
in my report,

but I thought maybe your team

would like to have
the actual evidence

itself.

Thank you.

Um, you get any prints
off of it?

Just smudges, small ones.

Probably belonged to a child.

You know, I hope
you won't take this personally,

but it smells down here.

Does it?

Of chemicals.

Okay, then.

Well, it was nice meeting you.

Jack.

I, uh...

checked the dental records.

The body from Tucson
is Jason Taylor.

Right.

There were no broken bones,

no blunt-force
trauma,

no obvious signs
of violence.

But without tissue,

I can't determine COD.

I doubt the cause of death

is going to be any consolation
to his parents.

No.

I'm about to run a 3D algorithm
on the shirt fragment

to see what was
around his neck.

I'll get you an image
as soon as I have one.

Thank you.

MARTIN:
These are murders
that fit his pattern:

victims near railroads,
women covered with blankets.

Now here's what's interesting.

When Wicker was able
to communicate with his sister,

he would go by

and visit her or call her
after every murder,

but he'd murder
with less frequency.

After their break
in communication,

the frequency of his crimes
increased.

Now how long
after that visit

did he kidnap Jason
and kill the babysitter?

Three days.

Now Gina used to live
in that neighborhood

while Wicker was in jail.

If Kobe had the same babysitter
as Jason,

maybe Wicker went by there

looking for his son.

Well, he obviously had some
emotional attachment to Jason.

If not, he wouldn't have

buried him
the way he did.

He thought Jason was his son.

He buried him
with something important

around his neck.

And since he
went back for it,

maybe whatever it is,

he's using it to make
a connection with Kobe.

Hopefully,
this buys us some time.

That gift card that
Grissom turned us on to

was swiped in Astoria.

Where?

Welling and 30th.

Hold on a second.

You know, Wicker lived out
in Astoria in '96.

I'm pretty sure about that.

Let's see... it's right here.

Yeah, 732 North Hampton.

WICKER:
Is that Mommy?

Say hi, Mommy.

Jack.

Got a body in here.

Hi, Mommy.

My dad went to New York
and all I got

was this stupid murder weapon.

You know, this fits Wicker's MO.

Home invasion,
find a weapon on-site.

Kill the resident,

except this time,
he left the weapon.

I don't think Wicker
came here to kill.

This is where he lived
when Kobe was an infant

and his life was
the most stable.

My guess is,

he's trying to recreate that.

Hey, Grissom.

We got lipstick.

According
to the landlord,

Weiss didn't have
a girlfriend.

Maybe Wicker does.

I had no idea.

I haven't seen Terry in years.

Part of me always worried
about what became of him.

Well, we subpoenaed
your records,

and they show that you treated
Mr. Wicker

about nine
and a half years ago.

That seems right.

Did he mention Kobe
in your sessions?

Yes, frequently.

What was his wife's
name again?

Gina.

When Gina had the baby,
Terry had a steady job.

He seemed stable and happy maybe
for the first time in his life,

but it didn't last.

When I treated him,

he was having difficulty
managing his anger

and his home situation
was deteriorating.

Let's talk about how
you can communicate

those feelings of anger.

That's why you're here.

Let's get it straight:

I'm here because
that union rep said so.

Considering your
outbursts at work,

do you disagree
with her?

Only thing I know is I got
this bad feeling inside me

and where it wants me to go

is nowhere good.

Is this a new feeling?

No.

Wasn't there
when things were going good:

Kobe was born,

when I worked down
at the yard,

Regina wasn't all over my ass.

How about before that?

Did you have that
specific feeling before?

Sort of, I did.

Well, if we can find out
what caused it, we can stop it.

Tell me the first time
you felt this way.

You can't go back to work

until I sign
off on it.

Around the time I was a kid.

My dad used to drag
me and my brother

to look for buried treasures.

He had one of those
metal detectors.

One day he found this medallion
thing in the dirt.

A gold lion.

I remember how much
I really wanted it.

But he always gave
the best stuff to my brother.

Dad was so excited, he ran
to the truck to get the camera.

All I could hear was this...

hissing in my ears.

Like those bugs down south,
what do they call them?

Cicadas.

It kept getting louder
and louder.

I just wanted to stop the noise.

I found a rock.

He never saw it coming.

When I get mad like that...
I don't see straight.

What happened to your brother?

I was just making that stuff up.

I didn't hurt him, okay?

Can we find something else
to yap about?

Terry,

I think you're telling me this

because you're afraid
you're going to hurt your son

or Gina.

This is over.

Terry...

Doc, look, I got to go.

Please sit back down.

I said I got to go!

I checked
with the county sheriff.

Their records showed
that Terry's brother died

from head wounds
in an accidental fall.

Did you see Wicker again?

No.

Now did the medallion

that he was wearing
look like this?

Well, it was an animal.

Yeah, it looks like
the same thing.

I was told that you
wanted to talk to me.

Yeah.

I analyzed the lipstick

from the cup.

The brand name
is Chameleon,

the color: crimson ride.

The sample also showed

traces of spermicidal lubricant.

Well, the last outgoing call

from the murder victim's
apartment was to a pager.

Three minutes later,
Wicker got a return call

from a payphone in Battery Park.

You know, in Vegas,
we would speculate

that that call
came from a lady friend.

An escort.

A hooker.

In New York,
we just call them hoes.

Where's Terry Wicker?

Who's that?

This guy right here.

We traced your pager
and we got his number.

We also know that you
called him back on a payphone.

And if I did?

Excuse me a second.

If you did, I'm willing
to bet that this lipstick

matches the lipstick
we found in the apartment

along with
the fingerprints,

and then you can
explain to us

how you know
absolutely nothing about

the dead body
we found there.

Hold on.

I didn't have anything
to do with that.

So what were you doing?

When Terry paged me,
I thought it was for his usual.

Hey...

What brings you to town?

Make him stop crying.

Oh.

Honey, you know I'm not
into that kind of thing.

Make him a sandwich
or something.

You're gonna pay me
a hundred bucks

to make the kid a sandwich?

There's nothing
I could do.

The guy had to go.

Why?

Why did he...?

Stop crying!

Honey, let the boy go.

I'm sure there's something I
could do to help you calm down.

I told you to make
him a sandwich.

All right.

I'll make him a sandwich.

Everyone's gonna get a sandwich.

I know!

I know! I know!
I know! I know!

I know!

You know what?

I know there's nothing
you could do.

:
I'm okay.

Tell her to go.

And we can watch the tape again.

I'd like to watch
the tape again.

That kid saved your life.

It was a creepy scene.

That's why I jammed out of there
as soon as I could.

You got to believe me:
I have no idea what happened.

Any idea where he went?

I didn't want to know.

But I know he was driving.
I saw some keys

on the counter.

Keys

For a Toyota.

The kid's playing along
to stay alive.

Yeah, but Wicker's
not stupid.

He's gonna figure it out
sooner or later.

And when he does...

he's not gonna need
the kid anymore.

DANNY:
Wicker's been in

New York for nearly two days

and NYPD lists 28 stolen Toyotas
in that time.

Well, we need to narrow it
down by borough.

Now the apartment
where Ed Weiss was killed

is near LaGuardia.

So let's focus on Queens
and work our way out.

MARTIN:
You know, I'd wait on that.

An assault took place
30 minutes ago in Newark

and it was linked
to a stolen Toyota.

The witness ID'd the subjects
as Kobe and Wicker.

Thomas Mitchner?

Yeah.

You seen these two?

Yeah, that's the guy
who sliced me.

Why don't you tell us
what happened.

Well, I came to paint the trim
on the place here.

Needed to move my truck closer,
but the car was in the way.

I had seen a guy walk away
about 20 minutes before,

so I talked to the kid.

Hey, kid.

I need to offload
my compressor.

When's your dad coming back?

He's not my dad.

Okay. Got any idea
when he's coming back?

Not really.

Look, I know it's
none of my business,

but do you need some help?

I don't know.

Maybe you could call my mom.

What's going on?

I need to park
my truck here.

I'm leaving right now.

Is everything all right here?

Yeah.

Why wouldn't it be?

Well, the kid wants me
to call his mom.

Kid wants an X-Box, too.
Why don't you get him one

of those while you're at it?
Why don't we just wait
and call the police?

Hold on.

Back off!

I called the cops right then.

Please tell me that kid is okay.

We haven't
located him yet,

but you probably
saved his life.

All right, you take care.

Thank you.

You know, Kobe only
ran off an hour ago.

They might still
be in the area.

JACK:
Yeah?

Hey, Jack, it's Martin.

It was definitely them.

And the boy made a run for it.

Any violence?

Terry sliced a witness
with a knife.

I'm gonna need some support
for house-to-house.

I'll call it in.

Great. Thank you.

Wicker and his son
were seen fighting.

Apparently, Wicker
assaulted the witness

and then took off
after the kid.

Now it's possible that the kid

figured out what his father
really is.

That would shatter
Wicker's fantasy.

Wicker doesn't tolerate
conflict.

Nearly everyone he's had
a run-in with has ended up dead.

According to his pattern,
he'll kill the kid

and jump the next train

out of town.
Jack, forget the pattern.

He broke the pattern years ago
when he had

an emotional connection
to one of his victims.

Wicker took the time to bury
Jason Taylor's body.

Then he called his sister.

Did you find Kobe?

No, not yet.

Ms. Wicker,

we're going to need your help.

What do you mean?

Well, if your brother's patterns
remain consistent,

we believe that
he's going to call you.

And when he does,

we'd like you to talk to him
for as long as possible.

Oh, my God, did he hurt Kobe?

We're not sure.

I've been thinking
this whole time

about my brother,

and there's just no way

he would've done those things.

He just wouldn't.

Ms. Wicker, I'd like to
show you some pictures.

This is Gaby Lawson
from Wyoming.

Emily Temper
from New Mexico.

And Tamara Fox.

Tucson.

You recognize
the jewelry?

He gave them to you,
didn't he?

Well, all of these
women are dead.

And I know that it's hard
for you to believe

that he'd be involved in
something like this, but he is.

So do we have your cooperation?

Transferring to the hard line.

We're in.

You can go ahead and answer.

Hello?

Hey, Syl, it's me.

Hi, Terry.

How are you?

TERRY:
Oh, okay, I guess.
Just thought I should check in.

He's using his cell.

It's pinging
off a tower in South Newark.

Uh, that, that's great.

I-I'm glad.

Uh...

I've been, I've been thinking
a lot about you, Terry,

and, um...

I don't know.

You don't know what?

What's going on

No. No, I'm...

It's, uh...

Are you okay?

Yeah.

You sound kinda strange.

I can't.

Sylvia.

What's going on?
Terry...

This is Special Agent Malone
from the FBI. Do not hang up.

Where's Sylvia?

She's sitting here

right next
to me. Okay?

You put her back on
or I'm hanging up.

No, no, don't you hang up, okay?

Right now, I have her
for possession of stolen jewelry

from the women
that you killed.

I have enough
to charge her

as an accessory
to murder.

What do you want?
I want you to let your son go.

I want you to
turn yourself in.

And your sister?

She walks.

Look, Terry, I know
you want to stop.

That's why
you called your sister.

That's why you took your son.

We both know that you're
afraid of killing him, too.

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

Yes, I think I do know
what I'm talking about,

and I think you know
what I'm talking about.

Terry, come on.

Listen to me.
We can make a deal.

JACK:
I got a visual
on the suspect.

Late model pickup.

I'm not sure
if it's Wicker.

Remember, we got
to take him alive.

He's the only one
who knows where the boy is.

You alone?

What do you think?

I got FBI agents

crawling all over this place.

But they don't do anything
unless I say so.

Guess that makes you
the big boss, huh?

Not right now.

Not while

you have the boy.

Where is he?

I need to see my deal.

Yeah, I got it
right here.

Show me!

Not until I see your son.

Where is he? Is
he in the truck?

Doesn't matter.

It matters to me.

You want to cut a deal
for your sister

or not? I want to see the boy.

Believe me, I, I didn't
want to hurt him.

You run away from me, huh?!

I mean it!

I promise!

I won't do it again.

No. No, please.

I won't do it again.

I promise.

Go.

Go.

Kobe.

Run.

Run!

Come on, Terry. You're
a cold-blooded killer.

You honestly expect
me to believe

that you just let him walk?

He's my son.

I couldn't hurt him.

JACK:
Let's say I believe you.

Your sister still wants to know

if he's okay.

She know what I done?

Hey, I'm not gonna
lie to you, Terry.

I told her everything.

But you have a chance
to fix this.

What she say when you told her?

Look, I'm not here to talk
about your sister, all right?

I'm here to close the deal.

I want your son.

Come on.

What am I gonna do now?!

Huh?

Who do I got left?

You got plenty left, Terry.

You can keep your sister
out of prison.

Just give me
your son.

Tell her I'm sorry.

No!

He's not in the truck.

You'd think
the kid would have gone

to the police by now.

He's a kid. He's scared.

Where do you think
he's hiding?

The one place his father
told him he'd be safe.

VIVIAN:
There's a warehouse
rail staging area

a quarter of a mile east

from where Kobe Farentino
ran off.

It's at Meeker
east of Newark Avenue.

Okay. Meeker,
east of Newark Avenue.

Great.

Jack and Martin
will be there in 20 minutes.

Okay.

It's okay. We're
here to help you.

Come here.

Your aunt's here.

Okay?

Six years ago

I got a phone call
about Jason Taylor,

and I drove out here
and I looked around

and I just thought,

"How the hell can anything
bad happen here?"

It hasn't changed
much in six years.

Yeah, well, six years
of not knowing

must have changed something.

Ever think about
hanging it up?

Every day.

At least you got your pay.

I do, yes.

What do you got, Jack?

The people that we get back.

'Cause there doesn't seem
to be enough of them anymore.

Want to come in?

I'd rather not.

Me neither.
