Body of Proof (2011–2013): Season 3, Episode 2 - Abduction: Part II - full transcript

MEGAN: Previously on Body of Proof...

Welcome back.

You will be working
with a new homicide team.

Try to start off on the right foot this time.

- Megan.
- Tommy?

(WHISPERS) You have five seconds

to tell me what you're doing here.

There was an opening. I took it.

Whatever you thought was gonna
happen between us,

(WHISPERS) it's not.

MEGAN: They're combat veterans.



We got a serial killer targeting veterans.

All five men had
their spleens removed surgically.

So you're saying our killer
is a plastic surgeon?

TOMMY: Do you work for Dr. Wallace?

I'm his chief nurse.

Yvonne, what's going on?

I just handed you a guy
with means, motive

and you're letting him go.

Mr. Simmons.

We know this guy is targeting veterans,
your name is on the list.

Just put me in front of the son of a bitch,
I'll show you what a vet can do.

Megan? I know where your killer is.

MEGAN: This guy's gonna bleed out
if I don't close him up.

It's Karl Simmons.



Don't you dare die on me.

It's over, Doc.

You don't understand!
They made me do it!

I didn't want to help them! I had to!

The police got their man.

You performed life-saving
emergency surgery.

What else could be happening?

Their spleens were removed

so something else
could be put in their place.

There's no way one person could
run those machines

and perform surgery at the same time.

For once in your life,
don't over think this.

(GRUNTS)

You won't feel a thing.

Who is that?

Dr. Wallace's last victim.

(MUFFLED SCREAM)

What the...

Bomb?

(CELL PHONE RINGS)

Hey, Lace.

DISTORTED MALE VOICE:Dr. Hunt?

Who is this?

You've stuck your nose
where it doesn't belong.

Now I have your daughter, and
you're gonna do exactly what I say.

Or else she dies.

(SCREAMS)

- Lacey!
- LACEY: Mom!

- Lacey, are you all right? Talk to me.
- I'm okay.

(STUTTERS) I don't know where I am.

Enough.

Who are you? Why are you doing this?

I'm gonna ask you questions
and you're gonna tell me the truth.

Do you understand? Yes or no?

Yes.

You found what was implanted
in the body?

Yes.

And you know why
those men were killed?

Please, my daughter...

Tell me, Dr. Hunt.

The men, they were guinea pigs
to perfect implanting the bomb.

Does anyone else know?

No. No, it didn't turn up on the X-rays.
That's the point, isn't it?

You're gonna remove
the device from the body.

I'm sending a signal
to deactivate it now.

(BEEPS)

Now you're gonna bring it to me.

Please, my daughter, my daughter,
she has an insulin pump

that needs to be refilled
in a couple of hours,

sooner if she's under stress.

You do what I say, and I'll release her.

But if anyone finds out about me,
she dies.

- Are we clear?
- Yes.

But you need to realize, the police know

that somebody else was helping
Dr. Wallace with the operation.

And how do they know that?

Because you told them?

I...

How unfortunate.

No, wait. Please. No, stop.

CURTIS: You okay?

(GASPS)

What's going on, Megan?

It's personal.

Are you sure you're not taking on
too much too fast?

Just get out. Leave me alone.

Mind your own business.

Go!

(SIGHS)

(SIGHS)

Early this morning, Philadelphia Police
launched a daring raid

to apprehend Dr. Harvey Wallace,

a man suspected
of at least six serial murders.

Wallace was killed in the operation,

but police managed
to save the life of his next victim,

Army Staff Sergeant Karl Simmons,
a veteran of the war in Afghanistan.

- (PHONE RINGS)
- Kate Murphy.

I just had an unpleasant phone call
from the FBI.

About the Wallace case.

What's the problem,
that we solved it without them?

They feel like we've shut them
out of the investigation.

So now they're going to go
over everything with a fine-tooth comb.

- Okay.
- My point is

that we need to make sure
we have all the loose ends tied up.

- For your sake.
- My sake?

You took the victory lap on this,
gave your press conference.

If this case blows up,
you're the one who's going to get hurt.

- And neither of us wants that.
- (BEEPS)

I have to take this call.
Keep me posted.

Did Megan finish the autopsy
on Wallace's last victim?

No. And she is out of her mind.
Ripped my head off when I looked in.

Something's up with her.

What?

When do you think you'll be done
with your autopsy?

Depends on how many people
barge in and disturb me.

I know you had some concerns
about the Wallace case.

I just want to make sure
I didn't unfairly dismiss them.

You weren't. We're fine.

So, what about your theory

that Wallace was implanting
something into the victims?

It's a theory.

So you have another explanation

for the surgical mesh
you found in the bodies?

My explanation is
that Wallace was insane,

and we can't begin to understand
why he did what he did.

What?

I've never known you to turn your back
on an unanswered question. Ever.

- Maybe I'm learning from you.
- Excuse me?

A couple of hours ago,

all you cared about
was your press conference.

And now all of a sudden
you're worried about doing your job.

What happened? Did somebody
tell you you should cover your ass?

- I resent that.
- Good.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

Dr. Murphy.

Yes.

Okay. Where?

All right, I'll send a team right out.
Thanks.

Police are calling for an ME.
Homicide in Greenbury Park.

Take Ethan,
I'll handle the autopsy from here.

- That's my case.
- Not anymore.

I need to make sure it's done right.

TOMMY: This was rough.

Victim was just a kid, 15, 16 years old.
Caucasian female.

DISTORTED MALE VOICE:
Do exactly what I say. Or else she dies.

(SCREAMS)

You got a name?

We were waiting for you
to examine the body.

(INDISTINCT TALKING)

You okay?

Turn her over.

But I haven't done the GSR kit...

Just do it.

Makes you hope
there's a special place in hell

for somebody who could do this.

Wait a second.

I've seen her before.

She's in a picture
in Dr. Wallace's office.

Is this his daughter?

Yeah. Alyssa Wallace.

Detective Sullivan,
they found tire tracks further back.

Congratulations,
I'll call the commissioner.

This kid's impressed
with everything he does.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

You are sick. She was a child.

DISTORTED MALE VOICE:
I see you found Dr. Wallace's daughter.

That was for your benefit.
So you know I'm serious.

- Do you have the device?
- Yes.

There's a parking structure
at McKinnon and 3rd.

Go to the top floor.
You'll get further instructions then.

No, I can't do it now. I need more time.

Not acceptable.

Well, you shouldn't have
killed her, then.

If I leave now,
people are gonna get suspicious.

I can do it by 8:00.

Be there at 7:00.

Why are you doing this?

For my husband.

What does that mean?

There was never anyone else for me.

He was the love of my life,
since the day we met.

He served his country, three tours
in Afghanistan. He was a hero.

And then he came home,
and he needed help.

(WHISPERS) I don't understand.

He killed himself.
Because no one gave a damn.

So everything that we talked about,

our plans, having a family,

none of it was ever going to happen.

He lost his life. And I lost everything.

But his sacrifice won't be forgotten.

Killing people isn't going
to bring your husband back.

No, it won't.

But it's the only way
anything ever gets done.

Liver's still warm.
Likely killed in the last three hours.

Which is after her father died.

No, there's someone else
involved in this.

You are not going to repeat that
to anyone, including the police.

- Why?
- I don't have time to explain.

Just tell me you're gonna do it,
Ethan, please, for me.

- Dr. Hunt...
- TOMMY: So what do you got?

Looks like she was killed late last night.

Really?

Yeah. Uh...

Her father probably dumped her here
right before you caught up with him.

You think it was Wallace that killed her?

It's a likely scenario.

Really? Because all
Wallace's victims were adult males.

He never shot any of them.
And why kill his own daughter?

Well, maybe he realized that
we were zeroing in on him.

But then, what do I know?
I'm just an ME.

I'll leave all the deep thinking to you.

Get her back ASAP.

Talk to you later.

- Is she always that emasculating?
- Yeah.

She's never actually lied
to me before, though.

Thank you.

Are you gonna tell me what's going on?

What's important is finding out
who killed that girl and where.

And you don't think the best way to do
that is with the help of the police?

Go back with the van. Make sure
that you do the external exam.

Run blood for tox,
get scrapings and trace,

and then do a sexual assault kit, stat.

Wait, where are you going?

To talk to the only man alive
who might know who killed that girl.

REPORTER ON TV:
Philadelphia police undertook

a daring raid in
the Port of Philadelphia earlier today,

bringing to a close
an intense 48-hour manhunt

for a suspected killer of
five local area veterans...

Mr. Simmons, I'm Dr. Hunt.

Hunt. You're the one
that saved my life last night?

It wasn't just me. And I'm not here
for gratitude, I'm here for information.

Okay.

It turns out that Dr. Wallace
was not working alone.

There was somebody else involved,

somebody who was forcing him
to operate on those victims.

I need to find this person.

Another life is at stake.

I'm sorry, ma'am, but if you're
asking me if I saw anyone,

the answer's no.

Are you sure?

Please try to remember
something, anything.

What about when you were abducted,
being prepped for surgery?

Last thing I remember, someone was
sticking a needle in me from behind.

Next thing, I was waking up here.

Are you sure? Anything?

Please.

I'll keep trying, I swear.

And if there's anything else
I can do to repay you...

No. Just...

- Keep this between us, please.
- (CELL PHONE RINGS)

You have my word.

Tell me you found something.

Haven't found any foreign DNA yet,

but there is some cellulose trace
under Alyssa's fingernail.

- Cellulose.
- Could be anything derived from

plants, fabric, paper,
building materials...

Yeah, I know what it is.
Can the lab narrow it down?

They're doing
scanning electron micrographs.

It's gonna take three hours.

(SIGHS) That's too late.

For what?

Just go back to the body
and find something.

Look, if you want me to ask
Kate or Curtis to take a look...

(WHISPERS) No!
I want you to do it. Just do it.

(SIGHS)

Tommy. I was just...
I was just checking in on Karl Simmons.

He's still feeling the anesthesia,
so I wouldn't interrogate him just yet.

Actually, I came here to talk to you.

How'd you know I'd be here?

I followed you. (SIGHS)

You followed me?

First you move to Philadelphia
and now you're following...

That's what a stalker does.

Megan, you can go on the offensive
with anybody else.

This is just not gonna work.

I'm here because you lied to me.

Look, I've been a cop for 20 years.
I could tell that girl died recently.

There's no way her father killed her.

What, you're a doctor now?

Time of death is caused
by many factors...

Megan, just stop it, all right.

...of which you know nothing about.
- Megan, shut up!

I heard you talking to Karl Simmons,
I heard you on the phone.

You know there's another killer
out there.

Now you gotta tell me the truth,

'cause though I probably got
more patience for you

than any other man in the world,
right now I'm running out of it.

Do not touch me.

Megan, talk to me,
don't make me take this upstairs.

You do that, they kill my daughter.

What?

(SHAKILY) Can you just
walk away, please, for my sake?

Just leave it alone.

I can't.

Whoever is behind this forced Wallace
to implant the bomb in the six victims.

By kidnapping his daughter.
Just like they took Lacey.

There's no metal.

It's not gonna show up
on a strip search.

You almost gotta assume

this is about getting through
airport security,

- they wanna blow up a plane.
- Yeah.

And if I don't give it back to them,
they kill my daughter.

If I do, God knows how many people
they're gonna kill.

What were you going to do?

I've been trying to find the killer.

So I don't have to answer that question.

It's always been your problem.

What is?

Thinking you can do everything
on your own.

I didn't have a choice.

Well, you do now.

I'm not gonna let whoever's behind this
blow up a plane-load of people.

But I'm not gonna let them do anything
to your daughter, either.

How?

No, I should be done about 8:00.

Yeah, so I was thinking maybe sushi.

That club on 11th later?

- Yeah, listen, Adam's not gonna
- Hey!

- Make it tonight. Maybe another time.
- Whoa. Yo.

You think that was funny? Hello?

Hello?

Do you know who you just hung up on?

A lingerie model.
That's right, a lingerie model.

This is her last night in town
before she moves to Rio

to teach a class in pole dancing.

I need your help. (SIGHS)

Okay.

(WHIRRING)

ADAM: Oh. What is that?
TOMMY: It's a bomb.

Any luck?

There's two different liquids
in separate chambers,

which explode when mixed.

I'm betting this cloudy solution here
contains the potassium-rich compound,

which we found
in all of our victims' blood work.

Diluting it out with saline
should keep it from ever detonating.

Uh, wait, you're serious?
That's actually a bomb?

I need you to put a team together,
right away.

Cops we can trust, work off-book,
no questions asked.

For what?

We're gonna follow Megan
to a rendezvous,

where she's gonna meet
the real killer of those six men.

We can't get too close,
or they're gonna kill Megan's daughter.

What?

We can't let them get too far away,
'cause they've plans to blow up a plane.

Uh...

Make the calls. I'll fill you in on
the details once we're on the move.

Can you trust him?

Well, every idea he has
is a stroke of genius,

he doesn't know when to shut up,

and, in general,
he's a huge pain in the ass,

but he's my partner.

You didn't answer the question.

I trust him with my life.

(INHALES)

All right. (SIGHS)

This is our best and only chance
of getting Lacey back,

and netting the suspects.

But there's a lot that can go wrong here
for you and your daughter.

I mean, you're basically risking your life
on the word of a murderer

that they'll give her back.

For all we know, Lacey could still be...

She's alive, Tommy. I know she is.

There's no change here.

- Status?
- COP 1: Quad 1, no change.

COP 2: Quad 2, nothing here.

COP 3: Quad 3, same.

COP 4: Quad 4, same.

All right, remember,
it's critical you stay out of sight.

(BEEPS)

ADAM: You know I'm here for you, right?

Uh-huh.

I just want to make sure
you realize what could happen.

If we lose the suspect,
they blow up a plane,

you and I will face criminal charges.

Yeah, it sounds about right.

Now, my point is,

you're really going out on a limb
for this woman.

So, is she or isn't she
why you moved to Philly?

And I'm thinking, maybe,
I deserve an answer, you know,

considering the circumstances.

(CELL PHONE CHIMES)

TOMMY: She's moving.
ADAM: All right.

ADAM:
Looks like the suspect made contact.

Dr. Hunt is moving into the structure.

TOMMY: She's moving out of sight.

No, I got her.

She's in the stairwell.

(ELEVATOR DINGS)

(CELL PHONE CHIMES)

Got her.

ADAM: All right.

(ENGINE REVS)

ADAM: Looks like we're on.

White late model van, tinted windows.

I'm trying to get a plate.

- Can you see her?
- No.

- Karl?
- Dr. Hunt.

- (CRACKLING)
- (YELLS)

(TIRES SQUEALING)

Come on!

Where's Dr. Hunt?

(STUTTERS) I don't know. Why?

Because she knew I wanted to be
updated on any developments

in the Wallace case.

So why didn't she,
or, for that matter, you,

tell me that the girl you found
this morning was Wallace's daughter.

You have to take that up with Dr. Hunt.
I'm closing her up here.

CURTIS: This doesn't make sense.

The time of death Dr. Hunt reported
doesn't match any of the labs.

- What?
- No? Really?

Yes, really.
Don't tell me you didn't notice that.

All right, what is going on?

And do not tell me to talk to Dr. Hunt.
I am asking you.

You're putting me
in a very awkward position here.

Really? You're gonna be
in a worse position

when I refuse to sign off
on your fellowship.

Answer the question, Ethan.

Now.

Wallace was working
with someone else,

that's who killed the girl.

Dr. Hunt made me promise
not to say anything.

I don't know why. I don't even know
what the hell is going on

and I'm sorry I ever agreed to
keep my mouth shut.

You know why, 'cause I'm not good at it.

Wait, why would she do that?
What is she thinking?

She didn't tell me.

We'll discuss your future later.

There is something
we're not seeing here.

Give me everything you've got
on this girl.

Preliminary ballistics, trace, tox, all of it.

VOICEMAIL:
This is Megan Hunt. Leave a message.

(GRUNTS)

(SIGHS)

You should probably fall farther back.

- They could make us.
- (EXHALES)

Widen the lead a quarter mile.

(SIGHS)

(GRUNTS)

Where's my daughter? Where is she?

You'll see her soon.

Yvonne's keeping her safe and sound.

Yvonne? Wallace's nurse?

We met in a VA survivor's group
two years ago.

Pretty much taken us all that time
to put this together.

You forced Wallace
to put the bomb in those men.

(SIGHS)

God, it was a test run.

- Yeah.
- (SIGHS)

For putting it in me.

If you hadn't saved me this morning,
I'd have been on a 3:00 flight.

Nothing left of me by now.

Or anybody else on that plane.

How could you kill innocent people?

After what you've been through?

Ever since we invaded
Iraq and Afghanistan,

6,000 soldiers have died in combat.

Incredibly tragic, yes.

But over 6,000 veterans
commit suicide each year.

Men that I considered brothers,
people that I loved.

We were willing to give
our lives for this country.

But when we got back, it was,
"The hell with you and your problems.

"Just shut up, stop making noise."

Well, I'm gonna make noise.

I'm gonna make a noise
that they can hear.

A lot.

For those lost men.

Yeah?

You just killed six vets.

Shells.

Like me, dead inside. I did them a favor.

Like you did Wallace's daughter?

War is accepting that change
requires desperate measures.

She was 14.

It's a shame that Yvonne had to do that.

But once you go to that place,
once you take that first life,

everything after is rote.

Until it's your own time.

All right, they're slowing.

They're turning off the main road.

And they're stopping.

They're pulling into
a one-story industrial building.

Okay. Pull up everything you can
on that location.

City blueprints, points of entry,
opportunities for cover.

Start getting the team ready.

(TURNS ENGINE OFF)

Where is she?

She's here.

Lacey! Are you okay?

- Mom!
- (SIGHS)

- Did they hurt you?
- No.

She's hyperglycemic.

(BEEPING)

MEGAN: I need that insulin!

How long has this been out?

A few hours maybe. I don't know.

It's in the bag.

She's not getting it yet.

I did what you asked.
I brought the bomb.

This was never about
bringing us the device.

Which I assume you sabotaged.

We have others.

We need you to pick up where
Dr. Wallace left off this morning.

You're gonna put one in me.

No, I'm not.

Well, then, I'm sorry. Your daughter
will die from diabetic shock.

Or sooner.

I'll be honest with you, Dr. Hunt.

Killing that girl was
the hardest thing I've ever had to do.

But I will do it again if I have to.

We need an answer now, Dr. Hunt.

Will you perform the surgery or not?

Yeah, I'll do it.

All right, fellas.

Look, these pictures,
they aren't in real time,

so we're gonna have to do
a quick recon first.

Then we're gonna split up
into three entry teams,

here, here and here.

Adam and I'll take the front.

Any questions?

Let's go.

Yvonne did some checking.
You were an excellent surgeon.

Except for that last operation.

But losing this patient
isn't an option for you, Dr. Hunt.

Or your daughter.

I'll administer the propofol.
You intubate.

YVONNE: Remember.

I was a surgical nurse for eight years.

I'll know it the second
you do anything off-book.

You ready?

Yeah.

Three, two, one.

Police!

(INDISTINCT YELLING)

Damn it! They switched it out.
They got an identical van.

(SIGHS)

Here's your tracker.

Let's go.

(SIGHS)

(GROANS)

All right.
Give him an ampoule of physostigmine.

I want him out from under quickly.

Do it.

Step away.

And you can stop wondering about
when the police are gonna come.

Karl found the tracker.

A sympathizer led them
on a wild goose chase.

I understand. Can you tell the captain
we're on our way back, please?

Okay, thank you.

The FAA's shutting down air traffic,
starting with a hundred mile radius,

then going wider
the longer time goes by.

You know what? We can pretty much
count on being fired

as soon as we get back to the precinct.
That's for starters.

I don't care.

Did they put an all-agency
out on Megan? Any sign of her?

Yeah, they're on it. So far nothing.

Give me the damn insulin.

There isn't any.

MEGAN: What?

Karl got rid of all your things.

In case there was another tracker
hidden in them.

No!

No! (PANTS)

YVONNE: It's not gonna matter.

Once Karl's gone, I need to get
his statement to the media

and continue getting our message
out there.

I can't do that
if the police know who I am.

(WHISPERS) Please.

My daughter.

Leave her alone.

She doesn't know anything.
She won't say anything.

Please.

Once I know that Karl's okay,
it's what has to happen.

Sorry.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

Sullivan.

KATE: Detective Sullivan,
it's Dr. Murphy.

The police have informed me
that Dr. Hunt has gone missing,

and under what circumstances.

But I think you may be the best person
to share this information with.

What are you talking about?

Wallace's daughter
had cellulose under her fingernails.

We just got the results back
from our lab, IDing it as wood dust.

They found her in a park.
Could that be where it's from?

No, it's from teak and mahogany trees,
which don't grow around here.

And it was ground fine,
as if the wood had been machined.

Looks like she was held, andlor killed

in some place where they either mill
or build things out of imported wood.

- All right. Thank you, Doctor.
- I just hope it helps.

Get onto PCID, set up a database
of lumberyards, mills...

No, you know what? I can narrow
it down way more than that.

I just remembered.
One of the men on the list of veterans,

he worked at a mill.

And it's right near an airport.

Sometimes you are as good
as you think you are.

(TIRES SCREECHING)

Mom.

It's gonna be okay, sweetie.

I need you to listen very carefully to me.
Okay?

(WHISPERS) Hey.

Are you okay?

Hurts like hell, but...

Are we okay on time?

Yeah.

Ow.

The flight's in four hours.

(GRUNTS)

When I tell you,
you're gonna run out the door.

(WHISPERS) I want you to get
as far away from here

as possible.

And then you find someplace,

and you call 911, okay?

What about you?

I'm gonna be right behind you.

But you need to keep running, okay?
Don't look back.

Mom.

Okay.

Sweetie, promise me that, please.

Here.

Let's see if you can sit up.

Yeah.

I love you.

MEGAN: Lacey, run!

(BOTH GRUNT)

(GRUNTING)

Mom!

Mom!

(GRUNTING)

(PANTING)

Lacey, run!

(SOBBING)

LACEY: (SOBBING) I can't.

(GUNSHOTS)

(GRUNTS)

TOMMY: Come on.

ADAM: You all right?

Where's Karl? Here.

- He's got the bomb in him.
- All right.

(PANTS)

Get out of the car, Karl.

(GRUNTS)

(STRAINS) I wanted people to hear me.

There are better ways.

I can't let you leave here.

How this plays out is up to you.

I know.

(BEEPS)

Let's see.
We could watch The Incredibles,

Toy Story, Enchanted...

Mom, I'm a teenager.

How about something
a little more age appropriate?

Sound of Music.

Oh, my God.

All right, fine.

Let's get some rest.

You know, it's okay
if you want to go home.

I'm getting out of here tomorrow.

No. Staying.

And I think that you should talk
to somebody about what happened.

You mean a shrink?

Exactly what you refused to do.

Okay, fine. It wasn't right for me.

However, it can really help some people

who have been through
something traumatic.

Which you have.

And I don't want you to keep
all of that stuff inside.

When I start to fall asleep,

just when you start dreaming,

it's like,

I'm back there again.

Like I'm living through it.

But I'm never too scared.

Because in my dream,
just like when it really happened,

I always knew that you'd come for me.

One second.

Wanted to check with you
if it was okay to visit her.

Didn't want her seeing me
to bring everything back or anything.

Hmm. Suspiciously sensitive of you.

It's strange, huh?

Hmm.

You check into work yet?

Kate is not happy that I lied to her,
to say the least.

But she doesn't seem to be
under any pressure to fire me.

Which I do not completely understand.

You have something to do with that?

Maybe.

I had a little talk with the DA.

I said that we could go public
with the truth.

That he was fooled into thinking
the Wallace case was closed.

That if it wasn't for you and me,

Karl Simmons could've blown up
a plane-load of people.

Or he could just leave us alone,
and take full credit himself.

He and Dr. Murphy are holding
a press conference as we speak.

You're an evil genius.

I'll take that as a compliment.

Tommy.

(SIGHS)

Thank you.

If it weren't for you...

(SIGHS)

Come on.

Lace, I would like to introduce you
to an old friend of mine.

Old friend?

That's right. Tommy.
