just entering Los Angeles their space we
should be on ground about 15 minutes
absolutely let it
situation in 2017
hi and we have a firearm on board
that's all we can get to the flight I
don't want to be too nervous I'm
thinking ladies and gentlemen if we
could ask you to remain seated for just
a few more moments thank you

what I did
mrs. please I'm with him son you let me
carry the bag sure
those are joke or something no joke
Hey look my IDs in my bag of WIC let's
go
that is total crap they ID'd themselves
as federal agents as you were taking
them off the plane plus nothing was ever
filed either here or with the airline
that there would be agents on board that
flight with firearms they filed it they
had to change airlines in that snowstorm
at O'Hare they had to split for the
plane ground support did not transfer
the people that when informed of a
weapon on board any flight you can be
sure that I'm gonna take that risk off
that I don't know mother's nursery look
for some ego inflated Bureau vet you
want to blow your mouth hole Henrickson
by cert field all has pic-a-nic up my
first off this age and straight out of
Quantico screwed up the paperwork on the
fire rate a little bit of a hot dog unit
Major Case Squad hot dog unit as opposed
to just a dog unit here we're out of
here
get your stuff the white zone is for
immediate loading and unloading of
passengers on
you've got you
that's one of my is butter yeah
hola
hey Riordan yeah welcome the FBI
you see air putting confidence
throughout their personnel file you want
to round out your squad with first
office agents fine just don't circumvent
the chain of command trying to protect
afore the chain you've got in plays
tennis it wastes a lot of time six
promotion offers at eight years John and
any one of them would have puts a long
past having to report to guys like
Pritchett yeah but then I'd have to
dress like a two of you
scared to death can't you see that okay
yes ma'am assisting daycares never had
anything like this happening that's two
hours yeah Robinson and Reardon came in
last night on that Airport plan cups
yeah
I'm gonna pull one for photos good yeah
Stoddard for possible this is another
Rudy's got her
make sure I mean it's my fault I should
be with you we shouldn't have to be here
it's my fault I know mrs. Hampton take
it okay we're gonna get through this
Thank You milk Dennis thanks for getting
into this l Stevens Supervisory Special
Agent John ollansky John's head of our
major case one how do you do
so she's in a VA in your office deputy
da handles a lot of the tougher cases in
the office which means her exposure
level of kidnapping is it's pretty high
so you're saying that the bow is
targeted because initial reports
indicate it was a random grab no I'm
saying is this kind of thing sets off
alarm bells in my head well get her Case
Files to our office which I said okay
well we'll keep LAPD informants tall
long scraggly hair maybe 40 she was uh
late 30s light brown hair light eyes
other than that uh I don't know I really
didn't get a good look did you say
anything to them I said that they should
come back after hours and I think one of
them said something to one of the kids
but was it more talk Jeremy Hampton or
any of the kids nearby any thinking
maybe Jeremy I don't know it all
happened so fast okay so when you asked
him to come back later that's when they
struck you grab the kid took off
but they still cool always keep on them
so I guess you know mrs. Hampton we're
gonna set up the wiretap on your phone
at home do you understand for the
monitor each call that you get back at
our field office and we're gonna have
agent stay with you check an email you
might receive don't try to contact me
what if they just want to hurt him not
worry about that
where's my son where's my son captain
get him out get him away from me what
are you doing can't we come together
even on the air you know you try to keep
me out of the sand my son mr. this is my
son too and my name is on the landscape
then I take a breath take a breath
yeah y'all serious rules my son you
don't know but we're looking at hell we
want you to take these just go okay
relax and we know where my cities
grabbed the more likely paid somebody to
do it it comes back to play the
concerned father
yeah well new girlfriend driving the kid
of Canada well you don't think a parent
gonna fall for kid I just don't see big
conspiracy so you're saying it's more of
a random smash and crafting like cult
thing didn't say that you got to play
the odds
Jack I'd say custody how many people you
know wouldn't come together over a
missing kid these two still can't stand
each other
you gotta studied this Quantic alright
okay maybe she did it new boyfriend
takes kid she quits due to pressure two
weeks later boom they're off to South
America not alright we're at four hours
from time of abduction which means to
keep our chances high we have less than
20 20 hours to turn major leads we will
work all fronts all possibilities in
this order number one custody yes let's
find out who has a significant other not
here if that person traveling that's
going to tell if either the grieving
parents is moving cash around that's
another one if this thing is custody
these people will tip it for us number
two job exposure this woman is a deputy
da which means her caseload is violent
crime makes for a lot of angry cons and
ex-cons looking to get revenge final
front random abduction if we're looking
in that territory we need a witness
plain and simple we need a witness
now how we on service schedules of the
daycare yeah no deliveries before little
no trash pick up a delivery personnel
that we can find so far LAPD's
door-to-door may have generated a
possible from a gardening service across
the street we thought they saw a couple
Walker Boyd from the school and there's
no mention of a struggle or a screaming
child being dragged away um we got a
home address on the gardener who made
the statement
all right updates in two hours shake
something out we can use
hey Jack take her with on the interview
better problem well you said you were
heading up a Major Case unit you didn't
say it included to termite rookies no it
included worked in the squad the way I
wanted to I do remember how to conduct
an interview you know yeah I don't no

are telling me she did you you've seen
20 minutes mm-hmm
Aaron's birthday was last week and yeah
he sent her a giant teddy bear and a
card and all but no calm to tell me why
he can't gone
just some cryptic message on the machine
about how hot the cases right now and he
has to be extra careful because getting
ready to move on these guys I don't know
a turn I don't even know what I expect
it's just if we're having problems I
like them to be in the marriage and not
while he's on some UC assignment where
he can't come home from what's time mmm

time she took where the screen is w no

gnosis works it might help him remember
a face or a car interviews over Rearden
um thanks can you tell her hey Lucy see
the little Mao no no um yeah no no works
maybe we have a specialist come and talk
to him agent Reardon it would really

yo quiero ayudarte soon upon dream
winner really he really wants to help
but he'll attack and get too nervous
what's him too much oh sorry okay that's
okay um maybe we'll call you later
thank you very much
Stoddard I'm Phoebe Scott phone table is
up and running Kathryn Hampton so you
want one of us there in addition to the
tech agent now just make sure the UN
door Annie close contact with her all
right I want you to beat me with any
information have we faxed a picture of
this boy the transit authorities already
done you far ten minutes I got something
to check on well I guess what she came
in yeah you hear any news on that front
well low-level gossip says she has every
right to be concerned
guys under a long time you know the
behavior I do every received Kathryn
Hamptons Case Files yet yeah I'm into
them now
unless maybe huge yeah okay look running
against prison parolees and releases
maybe this is a great thing
got it huh
look as a squad supervisor you want the
best but you're not minimize down this
case I shouldn't be talking to you my
squad superweapon large ones in our
place
Hannah where bell ringing I'll take
Canada can I get that untied all right
my very off-the-record opinion is we are
way past second through helpings on
these guys money wandering interstate
porno transport solicitation of minors
it's a laundry list then again I don't
make the case I just run the eyeball
stuff
how's his behavior Hey I've been here
two months from the white-collar stuff I
hardly know the guy but being a betting
man seeing you here don't have to
imagine it ain't great so what was he
hole up that you'll have to see cream
hey Rick what
now's not the time really have you ever
had to ask a subject you're interviewing
to call you a cab trust me I've taken
cabs out of some very embarrassing
places most of them personal just go in
sit down deal with it later
neither the Hamptons has had a major
cash withdrawal both their credit card
balances appear to be within the norms
we're getting subpoena on the phone
records check quickly called numbers
yeah but so far nothing points to a
significant that might help them pull
this thing off so assume for the moment
that this thing is not custody which
makes our strike we heard couple from
the daycare a third party third party
who wants money or revenge would have to
make contact with her but if the
straggle hairs are just random psychos
or lunatic cultists no contact doesn't
get easier this woman's prosecuted
talent violent crime state facilities
were just released to cons and last for
months who are prosecution's I've got
calls in to both parole officers you
want to pay for some jailhouse
information yeah get it out there ASAP
let's also go region with APB
descriptions of the couple and the truck
guys 7.5 hours since abduction we run
round the clocks until we get a break
come here it's just not appropriate
professional behavior how am I supposed
to apply everything I suppose you learn
to Quantico the past four months by
going on an interview with some
monosyllabic airbag who expects me to
just stand there and listen to
meaningless exhalations about
monosyllabic airbag has got over 20
years in the bureau you've got one day
and a half
excuse me what you expect him to do when
he said the interview was over he hardly
asked them anything do you speak Spanish
rude no are you aware that agent Dorado
speaks fluent Spanish no I wasn't so who
do you think's in a better position to
ascertain whether that witness was
hiding anything yeah I can tell him
you're not a real good start here hey
you got passion you got energy got a
good antenna so I won't have to you for
this squad but c16 is a Major Case Squad
not some white-collar bank fraud and
pull it uncle Aska you don't get to be
on equal footing years
accept it and learn that's all you can
do I go home we get some sleep from the
early tomorrow sleep yeah I'm in the
know star motel until my apartment
clears hey you want a little health
record surveillance for me yeah anything
we got a call no one hurt him he'll get
past this I just wanted you to know he's
all I got I talk to him please just
anyone who can I talk to get her voice
out familiar in any way can't trace
calls that short we're gonna have the
voice analyzed
it's a good sign it's never heard before
he'll get past this female the
authorities high school educated
Caucasian grew up in the West Virginia
Western High doesn't worry you at all
it's all sponsons of guilt about this
I played again
I can't believe this start right out of
Quantico and were the only two picked
for a high profile squad like this hey
wait a minute please
no Jackman to you best okay I had
nothing to do with a cap see Miss Amanda
special agent really excuse me who have
a 380 hanging out of their pants no
excuse me I believe you were carrying
two and I had enough sense to keep mine
hidden thank you okay all right all
right you got me yeah that's him
the fact that they made contact is good
Catherine odds are this thing falls into
one of two categories it's either a
current case or it's part of a custody
battle between you and your ex-husband
now we're not here to assess blame but
if you have any inkling that that may be
the case you didn't do this it's much
Satan and he may be indirectly
responsible and he put us in this damn
what do you mean he put you in this
position
I had to double my workload in order to
get a salary bomb back to what he did to
me in the divorce I couldn't hear
I
that's treta - you didn't do anything
wrong Catherine you did what you had to
do
I'm not believing the thing I said in
there
you think she's wrong in this I mean
about a mother having to be away from
her kid 10 hours a day
Jimmy served me papers he's fighting me
for custody of Daniel I look at that
woman and it's everything I feel they
don't beat yourself up you're a good
mother what's the difference
the lawyers illegally kidnapping Locke
had to visit him twice a month less if
he moves out of state come on what judge
is gonna take Daniel away I'm never home
he goes from day care to my mother's I'm
on cases till all hours of the night I
can think of plenty of family judges
that'll take him away
don't leave a job Annie I'm not seeing
but lose your son but don't leave this
job
it took good
yeah
I'm pulling the agents at a Katherine
Hamptons house I'm setting up
surveillance coverage on her and the
husband plus an emergency t3 on the
husband's farm so you think it's custody
well I think would definitely not
getting the full story and how's that
gonna look when we yank FBI presents out
of a victim's home why like the bureau
doesn't care are you planning some sort
of press release no but if word gets out
either words no comment I don't give a
rat's ass how it looks I'm trying to get
a beat on a missing four-year-old and
one of these people knows what's going
on every indicator in that phone call
said she's had contact with a person
before just wanted you to know he's
alright he'll get past this he'll be
okay just wanted you to know it screams
pirate contact and Katherine Hampton
isn't acting on that with an agent
sitting in her living room how he pulled
the agents and she protests because
she's uncomfortable then she's got
nothing to hide he's got a point there
thank you fine you offer it to her she
doesn't protest you pull the agents good
cuz I just did and she agreed she'd be
more comfortable alone no because I
don't want a meeting that stuff it's
loaded with sugar can you just give him
the kind of left out please well he will
eat it if he doesn't have another option
mom just give it to him thank you
yes I'm meeting with the lawyer in the
morning mm-hmm oh ma I gotta go I gotta
go dad she's moving heaven your way got
her big as life and she looks like she's
in a hurry
I know room in this piece of crap
this fault is that you know what I won't
give it up yeah give it up at a twice a
week basis except to them on these long
boring surveillances all right all right
I'm honored
yeah he's Gary here he's in the shower
I'm here about the insurance covers on
the car he'd asked me to stop by Laura
who is it some guy about the car
insurance
oh maybe it would be more saying if I
was shacked up with an ugly woman maybe
one that didn't strip for a living you
know she wants to save up to be
kinesiologist how about that I said is
she a great leg you bet
Sydenham bout her Nikki this about a guy
who pulled me out of a trip when I was
in the cover 15 years ago hell of job -
didn't save the marriage but you've been
a hero ever since and that gives you
license to diagnose me you think this is
that recognizable I don't read the same
handbooks as you show pull me out of the
assignment once in a while talk to me
about office gossip keep me connected to
the bureau it's crap this is my life not
some shrink and Washington's idea what
it's like to be undercover I don't stop
functioning as a human being just
because I'm under no you don't and I
won't be categorized by you or anybody
else as being on some kind of cover trip
you want to make this change in your
life Nikki make it but don't tell me
that you don't know your kids and your
wife an explanation don't hide behind
the job and drop the responsibilities as
a man and don't for one damn minute tell
me that you're immune to the same stuff
that every single one of us has been
through before I won't buy it Nikki
and I sure as hell don't buy that joke
was gravity you've got not know what's
going on here John
you're out of your neighborhood you're
jeopardizing my cover and my life
don't bother having your first office
Punk's follow me again
what the hell is going on she drove like
a maniac over here something's going on
it's like she's uncertain not whether
she needs a burger when a kid's missing
she's out stud she's out I got her come
on show us the way it's a false she
needs clean phone she's never shown the
number blocked start a subpoena get it
done for that phone
843 she's hit on it we get that number
I can't do any better can't do any
better that's it but you understand my
son come on it's all he gave you well we
were on her back mostly Guney I could
give you that how hard is it to lip-read
10 words agent Reardon oh good yeah what
do you got yeah the number Catherine
called is registered to a Richard
feeling in Reseda a weird thing though
we ran him for priors
this guy's got a huge sheet it's messing
our cot X distribution and related
Gunther actually use a condo help her
with a custody matter looking nice for
get your butts back here
it doesn't just add in track in front
Catherine Hampton you to get us inside
that viele house
his abort code said yet anything with
mrs. green Warren is on site Jackie's
indecision we're under a minute standby
yeah he's head of the kid yet Jackie's
already scoped the house appears empty
okay I want to go slow anyway I don't
want anybody walking into anything
stupid
team one negative movement to copy guys
we're coming up empty here alright pick
a door and go Richard and Sandra viele
on they have to consider well that goes
to show they know the value of the kids
our bargaining chip pull that tape
see if lap and they got old messages
leave it empty or get a replacement yeah
I want to monitor any new calls they get
if you get a new one in here inside of
ten minutes do it
Plus marsh their current nothing
indicates they're holding the boy here
nor does it look like they act up to
take off so we'll assume they're holding
kids somewhere nearby Scott they're not
on our list of prosecutions Billy's got
popped twice for narcotics distribution
thousand to seven years but neither one
was Katherine Hammonds prosecution
serious money said they're working for
someone she did put away yeah okay let's
see if the video of his known
accomplices on anywhere prosecution's
you want a spouse team sit on the house
yeah two teens plus surveillance Mike's
inside the house okay everything here
goes back in place and we disappear with
these people service they will lead us
to the kid think it's time to talk to
our favorite deputy da
as of three days ago you had 24 current
cases one of them in both the busts are
meth lab out in the valley your case
notes the loot before Jeremy disappeared
indicate that you agreed to a defense
request for low bail and recommended a
plea bargain even a mountain of evidence
this is pertinent to my son's kidnapping
or not perps name in a meth case Paul
Ortiz under associated with and has an
ax pass been arrested with Richard and
Sandra V Lee we think Sandra's who
called you the other night do you know
where my son is or not I believe we're
closed more important I think you're
closer
I'm doing whatever I can to get him back
no you're not because you're not telling
us the truth
which means you're further jeopardizing
your son's safety Katherine we know you
called the viele house from a payphone
what we don't know is how you got
involved in all this every hour Jeremy's
out there increases the risk you
soulless witch happy you did this you
did this to your own child let's try to
get through this all right they
approached me with a lot of money fifty
thousand for a low bail recommendation
and a possible deal since the divorce
I can hardly afford daycare it was wrong
I was wrong my damn legal bills are more
than my settlement and you know what you
were doing trying to break me so that
you can take him away from me alright
let's put this off you were so sick you
can't raise a child you can't even raise
a dog the hell is he doing hey if you're
lucky enough to get him back again you
will never see him again
never okay okay
I hope I agreed to it 24 hours later I
called him and told him I couldn't go
through with it I was changing my
recommendations when they took Jeremy I
was paralyzed I couldn't come forward
I'd lose my job I'd be disbarred I trust
my son since I have this vulture hanging
over me trying to take boy they called
and told me I had to go through with the
deal they gave me until tomorrow Morten
I don't know what to do I'll wait
Astaire with a Joe Rudi we're watching
the house in Reseda he is not at that
site but they will go back there they
will lead us to Jeremy
you will have him back
my client is here to assure the FBI that
he has nothing to do with this
kidnapping pardon me counselor all I
care about here is the boys safe return
if you're asking to access my clients
extensive ability to communicate in
certain circles I'm sure he's Hina clear
what he's up against agent Polanski
correct please I'm sure you realize
you're raising posed to be Associates of
mr. Ortiz is offered a $50,000 bribe to
a deputy di Katherine Hampton for low
bail recommendation for mr. Ortiz
conceivably to allow him to jump bail
and flee the country so done without mr.
Ortiz is not rajendra upon Miss Hanson's
change of heart on the bribe and she
said Associates Richard and Sandra viele
are suspected of kidnapping miss
Hamptons four-year-old boy presumably to
further incentivize miss Hampton bail
wreck that's where the system is
operating on now you want us to believe
that nothing to do with this we'll have
a much easier time buying that if the
boy is returned safely assuming my
client is connected enough to get a
message to the people who might have
this boy and you're able to get him back
we would need some measure of
appreciation on the drug penalties mr.
Ortiz is currently looking at as well as
a flat-out pass on the kidnapping charge
mr. look I don't think you understand
this is not a swap meet our mistake
Kentucky we're only interested in the
boy you change your mind my client
stands ready to help you want something
on the table show me the boy no video
tapes no photos I want to see the boy
alive and I want it to happen tonight
you're still implying mr. artis has some
control over this situation is rorty's
can go straight to hell
unless I see the boy
seeing the boil cast you piece of paper
from her odds stating my end of the
arrangement then you can see the point
okay
Porsche keys now
no luck sir I made a run with a few
Karthik a fight stop
Stoddard you are aware we're due for an
inspection from Washington next month
and c16 is high on that list since your
squad super likes to play by his own
rules and his startup a nice bit of dust
with this Tully remar thing and c5 about
sleeping with hookers well I thought she
was a stripper sir nevertheless I
I hope the implications not that I'm
sleeping with hookers or strippers
because I've requisitioned an undercover
car because that's an entirely different
thing am I in a different conversation
here you are not allowed to take cover
cars home for personal use in my office
now do not bother my guys about cars and
I work in kidnapping cases Andrew will
have secured card a car you want attack
him involve
you know our squad only low-profile
their surveillance they're gonna hit us
with location we can't recon so we'll be
on the fly and we're tailing only well
that's who they come at us with if we
can we run interference we'll grab the
boy safely if not we'll have our cover
tracked into a place we can run a band
right
John you got an outside line

as federal agents as you were taking
them off the plane plus nothing was ever
filed either here or with the airline
that there would be agents on board that
flight with firearms they filed it they
had to change airlines in that snowstorm
at O'Hare they had to split for the
plane ground support did not transfer
the people that when informed of a
weapon on board any flight you can be
sure that I'm gonna take that risk off
that I don't know mother's nursery look
for some ego inflated Bureau vet you
want to blow your mouth hole Henrickson
by cert field all has pic-a-nic up my
first off this age and straight out of
Quantico screwed up the paperwork on the

immediate loading and unloading of
passengers on

that's one of my is butter yeah
hola
hey Riordan yeah welcome the FBI
you see air putting confidence
throughout their personnel file you want
to round out your squad with first
office agents fine just don't circumvent
the chain of command trying to protect
afore the chain you've got in plays
tennis it wastes a lot of time six
promotion offers at eight years John and
any one of them would have puts a long
past having to report to guys like
Pritchett yeah but then I'd have to
dress like a two of you
scared to death can't you see that okay
yes ma'am assisting daycares never had
anything like this happening that's two
hours yeah Robinson and Reardon came in

Stoddard for possible this is another
Rudy's got her
make sure I mean it's my fault I should
be with you we shouldn't have to be here
it's my fault I know mrs. Hampton take
it okay we're gonna get through this
Thank You milk Dennis thanks for getting
into this l Stevens Supervisory Special
Agent John ollansky John's head of our
major case one how do you do
so she's in a VA in your office deputy
da handles a lot of the tougher cases in
the office which means her exposure
level of kidnapping is it's pretty high
so you're saying that the bow is
targeted because initial reports
indicate it was a random grab no I'm
saying is this kind of thing sets off
alarm bells in my head well get her Case
Files to our office which I said okay
well we'll keep LAPD informants tall
long scraggly hair maybe 40 she was uh
late 30s light brown hair light eyes
other than that uh I don't know I really
didn't get a good look did you say
anything to them I said that they should
come back after hours and I think one of
them said something to one of the kids
but was it more talk Jeremy Hampton or
any of the kids nearby any thinking
maybe Jeremy I don't know it all
happened so fast okay so when you asked
him to come back later that's when they
struck you grab the kid took off
but they still cool always keep on them
so I guess you know mrs. Hampton we're
gonna set up the wiretap on your phone
at home do you understand for the
monitor each call that you get back at
our field office and we're gonna have
agent stay with you check an email you
might receive don't try to contact me
what if they just want to hurt him not
worry about that
where's my son where's my son captain
get him out get him away from me what
are you doing can't we come together
even on the air you know you try to keep
me out of the sand my son mr. this is my
son too and my name is on the landscape
then I take a breath take a breath
yeah y'all serious rules my son you
don't know but we're looking at hell we
want you to take these just go okay
relax and we know where my cities
grabbed the more likely paid somebody to
do it it comes back to play the
concerned father
yeah well new girlfriend driving the kid
of Canada well you don't think a parent
gonna fall for kid I just don't see big
conspiracy so you're saying it's more of
a random smash and crafting like cult
thing didn't say that you got to play
the odds
Jack I'd say custody how many people you
know wouldn't come together over a
missing kid these two still can't stand
each other
you gotta studied this Quantic alright
okay maybe she did it new boyfriend
takes kid she quits due to pressure two
weeks later boom they're off to South
America not alright we're at four hours
from time of abduction which means to
keep our chances high we have less than
20 20 hours to turn major leads we will
work all fronts all possibilities in
this order number one custody yes let's
find out who has a significant other not
here if that person traveling that's
going to tell if either the grieving
parents is moving cash around that's
another one if this thing is custody
these people will tip it for us number
two job exposure this woman is a deputy
da which means her caseload is violent
crime makes for a lot of angry cons and
ex-cons looking to get revenge final
front random abduction if we're looking
in that territory we need a witness
plain and simple we need a witness
now how we on service schedules of the
daycare yeah no deliveries before little
no trash pick up a delivery personnel
that we can find so far LAPD's
door-to-door may have generated a
possible from a gardening service across
the street we thought they saw a couple
Walker Boyd from the school and there's
no mention of a struggle or a screaming
child being dragged away um we got a
home address on the gardener who made
the statement
all right updates in two hours shake
something out we can use
hey Jack take her with on the interview
better problem well you said you were
heading up a Major Case unit you didn't
say it included to termite rookies no it
included worked in the squad the way I
wanted to I do remember how to conduct
an interview you know yeah I don't no

are telling me she did you you've seen
20 minutes mm-hmm
Aaron's birthday was last week and yeah
he sent her a giant teddy bear and a
card and all but no calm to tell me why
he can't gone
just some cryptic message on the machine
about how hot the cases right now and he
has to be extra careful because getting
ready to move on these guys I don't know
a turn I don't even know what I expect
it's just if we're having problems I
like them to be in the marriage and not
while he's on some UC assignment where
he can't come home from what's time mmm

interview know that most first off his
agents pull 11 Scout work I don't do my

time she took where the screen is w no

gnosis works it might help him remember
a face or a car interviews over Rearden
um thanks can you tell her hey Lucy see
the little Mao no no um yeah no no works
maybe we have a specialist come and talk
to him agent Reardon it would really

thank you very much
Stoddard I'm Phoebe Scott phone table is
up and running Kathryn Hampton so you
want one of us there in addition to the
tech agent now just make sure the UN
door Annie close contact with her all
right I want you to beat me with any
information have we faxed a picture of
this boy the transit authorities already
done you far ten minutes I got something
to check on well I guess what she came
in yeah you hear any news on that front
well low-level gossip says she has every
right to be concerned
guys under a long time you know the
behavior I do every received Kathryn
Hamptons Case Files yet yeah I'm into
them now
unless maybe huge yeah okay look running
against prison parolees and releases
maybe this is a great thing
got it huh
look as a squad supervisor you want the
best but you're not minimize down this
case I shouldn't be talking to you my
squad superweapon large ones in our
place
Hannah where bell ringing I'll take
Canada can I get that untied all right
my very off-the-record opinion is we are
way past second through helpings on
these guys money wandering interstate
porno transport solicitation of minors
it's a laundry list then again I don't
make the case I just run the eyeball
stuff
how's his behavior Hey I've been here
two months from the white-collar stuff I
hardly know the guy but being a betting
man seeing you here don't have to
imagine it ain't great so what was he
hole up that you'll have to see cream
hey Rick what
now's not the time really have you ever
had to ask a subject you're interviewing
to call you a cab trust me I've taken
cabs out of some very embarrassing
places most of them personal just go in
sit down deal with it later
neither the Hamptons has had a major
cash withdrawal both their credit card
balances appear to be within the norms
we're getting subpoena on the phone
records check quickly called numbers
yeah but so far nothing points to a
significant that might help them pull
this thing off so assume for the moment
that this thing is not custody which
makes our strike we heard couple from
the daycare a third party third party
who wants money or revenge would have to
make contact with her but if the
straggle hairs are just random psychos
or lunatic cultists no contact doesn't
get easier this woman's prosecuted
talent violent crime state facilities
were just released to cons and last for
months who are prosecution's I've got
calls in to both parole officers you
want to pay for some jailhouse
information yeah get it out there ASAP
let's also go region with APB
descriptions of the couple and the truck
guys 7.5 hours since abduction we run
round the clocks until we get a break
come here it's just not appropriate
professional behavior how am I supposed
to apply everything I suppose you learn
to Quantico the past four months by
going on an interview with some
monosyllabic airbag who expects me to
just stand there and listen to
meaningless exhalations about
monosyllabic airbag has got over 20
years in the bureau you've got one day
and a half
excuse me what you expect him to do when
he said the interview was over he hardly
asked them anything do you speak Spanish
rude no are you aware that agent Dorado
speaks fluent Spanish no I wasn't so who
do you think's in a better position to
ascertain whether that witness was
hiding anything yeah I can tell him
you're not a real good start here hey
you got passion you got energy got a
good antenna so I won't have to you for
this squad but c16 is a Major Case Squad
not some white-collar bank fraud and
pull it uncle Aska you don't get to be
on equal footing years
accept it and learn that's all you can
do I go home we get some sleep from the
early tomorrow sleep yeah I'm in the
know star motel until my apartment
clears hey you want a little health
record surveillance for me yeah anything
we got a call no one hurt him he'll get
past this I just wanted you to know he's
all I got I talk to him please just
anyone who can I talk to get her voice
out familiar in any way can't trace
calls that short we're gonna have the
voice analyzed
it's a good sign it's never heard before
he'll get past this female the
authorities high school educated
Caucasian grew up in the West Virginia
Western High doesn't worry you at all
it's all sponsons of guilt about this
I played again
I can't believe this start right out of
Quantico and were the only two picked
for a high profile squad like this hey
wait a minute please
no Jackman to you best okay I had
nothing to do with a cap see Miss Amanda
special agent really excuse me who have
a 380 hanging out of their pants no
excuse me I believe you were carrying
two and I had enough sense to keep mine
hidden thank you okay all right all
right you got me yeah that's him
the fact that they made contact is good
Catherine odds are this thing falls into
one of two categories it's either a
current case or it's part of a custody
battle between you and your ex-husband
now we're not here to assess blame but
if you have any inkling that that may be
the case you didn't do this it's much
Satan and he may be indirectly
responsible and he put us in this damn
what do you mean he put you in this
position
I had to double my workload in order to
get a salary bomb back to what he did to
me in the divorce I couldn't hear
I
that's treta - you didn't do anything
wrong Catherine you did what you had to
do
I'm not believing the thing I said in
there
you think she's wrong in this I mean
about a mother having to be away from
her kid 10 hours a day
Jimmy served me papers he's fighting me
for custody of Daniel I look at that
woman and it's everything I feel they
don't beat yourself up you're a good
mother what's the difference
the lawyers illegally kidnapping Locke
had to visit him twice a month less if
he moves out of state come on what judge
is gonna take Daniel away I'm never home
he goes from day care to my mother's I'm
on cases till all hours of the night I
can think of plenty of family judges
that'll take him away
don't leave a job Annie I'm not seeing
but lose your son but don't leave this
job
it took good
yeah
I'm pulling the agents at a Katherine
Hamptons house I'm setting up
surveillance coverage on her and the
husband plus an emergency t3 on the
husband's farm so you think it's custody
well I think would definitely not
getting the full story and how's that
gonna look when we yank FBI presents out
of a victim's home why like the bureau
doesn't care are you planning some sort
of press release no but if word gets out
either words no comment I don't give a
rat's ass how it looks I'm trying to get
a beat on a missing four-year-old and
one of these people knows what's going
on every indicator in that phone call
said she's had contact with a person
before just wanted you to know he's
alright he'll get past this he'll be
okay just wanted you to know it screams
pirate contact and Katherine Hampton
isn't acting on that with an agent
sitting in her living room how he pulled
the agents and she protests because
she's uncomfortable then she's got
nothing to hide he's got a point there
thank you fine you offer it to her she
doesn't protest you pull the agents good
cuz I just did and she agreed she'd be
more comfortable alone no because I
don't want a meeting that stuff it's
loaded with sugar can you just give him
the kind of left out please well he will
eat it if he doesn't have another option
mom just give it to him thank you
yes I'm meeting with the lawyer in the
morning mm-hmm oh ma I gotta go I gotta
go dad she's moving heaven your way got
her big as life and she looks like she's
in a hurry
I know room in this piece of crap
this fault is that you know what I won't
give it up yeah give it up at a twice a
week basis except to them on these long
boring surveillances all right all right
I'm honored
yeah he's Gary here he's in the shower
I'm here about the insurance covers on
the car he'd asked me to stop by Laura
who is it some guy about the car
insurance
oh maybe it would be more saying if I
was shacked up with an ugly woman maybe
one that didn't strip for a living you
know she wants to save up to be
kinesiologist how about that I said is
she a great leg you bet
Sydenham bout her Nikki this about a guy
who pulled me out of a trip when I was
in the cover 15 years ago hell of job -
didn't save the marriage but you've been
a hero ever since and that gives you
license to diagnose me you think this is
that recognizable I don't read the same
handbooks as you show pull me out of the
assignment once in a while talk to me
about office gossip keep me connected to
the bureau it's crap this is my life not
some shrink and Washington's idea what
it's like to be undercover I don't stop
functioning as a human being just
because I'm under no you don't and I
won't be categorized by you or anybody
else as being on some kind of cover trip
you want to make this change in your
life Nikki make it but don't tell me
that you don't know your kids and your
wife an explanation don't hide behind
the job and drop the responsibilities as
a man and don't for one damn minute tell
me that you're immune to the same stuff
that every single one of us has been
through before I won't buy it Nikki
and I sure as hell don't buy that joke
was gravity you've got not know what's
going on here John
you're out of your neighborhood you're
jeopardizing my cover and my life
don't bother having your first office
Punk's follow me again

on show us the way it's a false she
needs clean phone she's never shown the
number blocked start a subpoena get it

I can't do any better can't do any
better that's it but you understand my
son come on it's all he gave you well we
were on her back mostly Guney I could
give you that how hard is it to lip-read
10 words agent Reardon oh good yeah what
do you got yeah the number Catherine
called is registered to a Richard
feeling in Reseda a weird thing though
we ran him for priors
this guy's got a huge sheet it's messing
our cot X distribution and related
Gunther actually use a condo help her
with a custody matter looking nice for
get your butts back here
it doesn't just add in track in front
Catherine Hampton you to get us inside
that viele house
his abort code said yet anything with
mrs. green Warren is on site Jackie's
indecision we're under a minute standby
yeah he's head of the kid yet Jackie's
already scoped the house appears empty
okay I want to go slow anyway I don't
want anybody walking into anything
stupid
team one negative movement to copy guys
we're coming up empty here alright pick
a door and go Richard and Sandra viele
on they have to consider well that goes
to show they know the value of the kids
our bargaining chip pull that tape
see if lap and they got old messages
leave it empty or get a replacement yeah
I want to monitor any new calls they get
if you get a new one in here inside of
ten minutes do it
Plus marsh their current nothing
indicates they're holding the boy here
nor does it look like they act up to
take off so we'll assume they're holding
kids somewhere nearby Scott they're not
on our list of prosecutions Billy's got
popped twice for narcotics distribution
thousand to seven years but neither one
was Katherine Hammonds prosecution
serious money said they're working for
someone she did put away yeah okay let's
see if the video of his known
accomplices on anywhere prosecution's
you want a spouse team sit on the house
yeah two teens plus surveillance Mike's
inside the house okay everything here
goes back in place and we disappear with
these people service they will lead us
to the kid think it's time to talk to
our favorite deputy da
as of three days ago you had 24 current
cases one of them in both the busts are
meth lab out in the valley your case
notes the loot before Jeremy disappeared
indicate that you agreed to a defense
request for low bail and recommended a
plea bargain even a mountain of evidence
this is pertinent to my son's kidnapping
or not perps name in a meth case Paul
Ortiz under associated with and has an
ax pass been arrested with Richard and
Sandra V Lee we think Sandra's who
called you the other night do you know
where my son is or not I believe we're
closed more important I think you're
closer
I'm doing whatever I can to get him back
no you're not because you're not telling
us the truth
which means you're further jeopardizing
your son's safety Katherine we know you
called the viele house from a payphone
what we don't know is how you got
involved in all this every hour Jeremy's
out there increases the risk you
soulless witch happy you did this you
did this to your own child let's try to
get through this all right they
approached me with a lot of money fifty
thousand for a low bail recommendation
and a possible deal since the divorce
I can hardly afford daycare it was wrong
I was wrong my damn legal bills are more
than my settlement and you know what you
were doing trying to break me so that
you can take him away from me alright
let's put this off you were so sick you
can't raise a child you can't even raise
a dog the hell is he doing hey if you're
lucky enough to get him back again you
will never see him again
never okay okay
I hope I agreed to it 24 hours later I
called him and told him I couldn't go
through with it I was changing my
recommendations when they took Jeremy I
was paralyzed I couldn't come forward
I'd lose my job I'd be disbarred I trust
my son since I have this vulture hanging
over me trying to take boy they called
and told me I had to go through with the
deal they gave me until tomorrow Morten
I don't know what to do I'll wait
Astaire with a Joe Rudi we're watching
the house in Reseda he is not at that
site but they will go back there they
will lead us to Jeremy
you will have him back
my client is here to assure the FBI that
he has nothing to do with this
kidnapping pardon me counselor all I
care about here is the boys safe return
if you're asking to access my clients
extensive ability to communicate in
certain circles I'm sure he's Hina clear
what he's up against agent Polanski
correct please I'm sure you realize
you're raising posed to be Associates of
mr. Ortiz is offered a $50,000 bribe to
a deputy di Katherine Hampton for low
bail recommendation for mr. Ortiz
conceivably to allow him to jump bail
and flee the country so done without mr.
Ortiz is not rajendra upon Miss Hanson's
change of heart on the bribe and she
said Associates Richard and Sandra viele
are suspected of kidnapping miss
Hamptons four-year-old boy presumably to
further incentivize miss Hampton bail
wreck that's where the system is
operating on now you want us to believe
that nothing to do with this we'll have
a much easier time buying that if the
boy is returned safely assuming my
client is connected enough to get a
message to the people who might have
this boy and you're able to get him back
we would need some measure of
appreciation on the drug penalties mr.
Ortiz is currently looking at as well as
a flat-out pass on the kidnapping charge
mr. look I don't think you understand
this is not a swap meet our mistake
Kentucky we're only interested in the
boy you change your mind my client
stands ready to help you want something
on the table show me the boy no video
tapes no photos I want to see the boy
alive and I want it to happen tonight
you're still implying mr. artis has some
control over this situation is rorty's
can go straight to hell
unless I see the boy
seeing the boil cast you piece of paper
from her odds stating my end of the
arrangement then you can see the point
okay
Porsche keys now
no luck sir I made a run with a few
Karthik a fight stop
Stoddard you are aware we're due for an
inspection from Washington next month
and c16 is high on that list since your
squad super likes to play by his own
rules and his startup a nice bit of dust
with this Tully remar thing and c5 about
sleeping with hookers well I thought she
was a stripper sir nevertheless I
I hope the implications not that I'm
sleeping with hookers or strippers
because I've requisitioned an undercover
car because that's an entirely different
thing am I in a different conversation
