C-16: FBI (1997–1998): Season 1, Episode 2 - Pilot: Part 2 - full transcript
so
morning jack
do you have any idea where stoddard is
well i couldn't say we really got burned
pretty bad last night on that hampton
kidnapping maybe he never made it home
do you know where he parks when he does
come in
what
do you know where he parks
do i know where he parks
forget it
forget i asked
i'm never dumb enough to take a
promotion to asac shoot me what are you
doing it's an ordeal i gotta park the
porch out on the streets walk with my
car drive that in here then during the
day i gotta take a few car back out to
the street swap again you mean that
rusted out thing with a bonder on the
fenders yeah it's a piece of junk it's
got exhaust coming out from somewhere
it's more of a nightmare that's worth
really why do you live this way you're
like some high school kid
so
it'll be in the high 80s today this
morning's top local news story involves
district attorney milk stephen's
right-hand woman as it were deputy d.a
catherine hampton channel 7 has learned
miss hampton's four-year-old son was
kidnapped in an attempt to leverage a
plea recommendation from the deputy d.a
on a high-level drug bust of an unknown
suspect sources have now let it be known
that ms hampton is suspected by the fbi
of having had initial conversations with
associates of that suspect and is
alleged to have received money during
the initial talks of a plea bargain
unconfirmed reports are that the major
case squad at the la field office may
have missed an opportunity to rescue the
four-year-old during the high-stakes
game of chicken last night near the la
international airport our own
investigation team's calls to the fbi
were not returned this morning
a man arrested for growing thousands of
marijuana plants at his rented belair
mansion is out of jail today free on a
half million dollars bail
because it's just kind of idiotic
scrutiny that turns on the flames on
something like this are you up to speed
on this john it later
there's nothing you can do about it
we'll do everything we can to keep the
media reined in all they're doing is
turning the heat up on this kid okay i
hear you i know that
all right
so how close did you get last night
close damn close whatever difference
that makes
maybe we use this press leak to our
advantage
leverage the kidnappers into a no-win
situation now if we force them into a no
when we lose the boy they think they got
nowhere to go we'll find jimmy having
his body in a wash if at all and i'm
worried that they're gonna think that
today because it's damn news coverage
okay
ideas
i want to negotiate with ortiz myself
for real we can't get the u.s attorneys
to approve that and you know it we're
halfway home with that already andrew
with a piece of junk paper they gave us
last night to get a shot at the boy john
we're already not getting high marks
from the u.s attorneys on this ah dennis
don't bore me with the opinions of
attorneys if we did it their way maybe
we get the kid back before he goes to
college i say we negotiate with ortiz we
do whatever we have to get this boy back
and any deal is arguably under duress
anyway john you know me you know i want
this to be easier but there are layers
of ethical dilemmas here as well as a
lot of top-level eyeballing going on not
to mention ortiz's attorney is going to
want to see any final deal approved by a
judge
okay dennis
you tell me
how i keep ortiz moving forward then i
mean you don't think he's gonna spell an
fbi stall tactic when he lived up to his
end of the deal he showed us the boy
i'm back at him this morning guys
i need something i can dance with
all right
i'll talk to the u.s attorney i'll get
to you before you leave
thanks
we were close
i did get a good look at him though he
appears to be fine
what can i do well nothing right now
except
keep a clear head
i assume you're under some sort of
detainment order
we're trying to find out how ortiz
contacts of elise
when we get that piece i feel confident
we'll find out where they're holding him
what about a deal can't we come up with
something the u.s attorney's office is
working on something
we will get leeway some room to maneuver
oh god there's so much that can go wrong
catherine
you've got to hold it together
you know that
you've been on the other side of the
system so you know that losing it now
isn't going to help anybody
sorry
just that i remember hearing these
things said said them myself to victims
families
i guess i just never thought i'd hear
them come back at me
lapd narcos suspects the villains are
running two to three meth labs locations
unknown probably where they're holding
jeremy hampton which means if we can
figure out how ortiz is communicating
with the vealies we'll have this thing
nailed what about phone tapes counting
tapes outgoing phone calls we're on it
they're already on roof uh robinson
reardon that would be the two of you
slogging through all of ortiz's recorded
phone calls no problem county phone
vlogs pretty decent it should be maybe
spot check a couple on each side of
ortiz's calls better we find out now if
somebody's lazy with the records over
there what about visitation booths don't
they record those as well you'll have
every phone call and or visitation tape
they have on ortiz think the villas are
ballsy enough to command the crts they
kidnapped the deputy da's kid and felt
brazen enough last night to rub our
faces in
short answer would be yes
you angling to run my squad now nothing
to do with squads
he's a guy i've known for 15 years and
he's so far under he's totally lost nick
tully is working through marital
problems that in no way affect his
ability to work the case frank he's not
working through marital anything he's
shacking up with a stripper and he's
buying heavily into his own cover oh
excuse me you're the reigning expert mr
been there done that
frank you've had enough to shut down for
months if you're milking this case for
points fine but don't do it at the
expense of a good agent with a wife and
kids at home
don't do it man i'm telling you once
john you ever stick it in my squad's
business again i will have opi all the
way down your throat and believe me a
lot of people around here who would
enjoy watching them carve you a new one
um it says uh highly confidential and
i'm not clear to to
okay
confidentially ortiz hampton
ortiz hampton situation adic and u.s
attorney has cleared you necessary means
for case resolution
that's it i hope you understand what
this means because i don't it means the
fbi and the symphony of wisdom has given
me the okay to fly
bigger
so
mr ortiz would prefer the following
transportation to be arranged for and
cleared by me which would consist of my
client at his expense chartering private
air transport to an undisclosed
international location
once clear of domestic airspace the
location of the boy will be disclosed
as a bonus he is willing to consider
disclosing the names of the people that
he feels most responsible for this
heinous act
both the bureau and the u.s attorney's
office have given their approval for us
to offer whatever it takes to secure the
release of the boy
but what's your i personally let you on
a plane without jeremy hampton in harm's
way
no chance i think that you and i should
step
then we are at an impasse
i guess so
then i cannot help you secure the
release of the boy
we are prepared to offer a pass
on the kidnapping and extortion charges
as well as reduction on the upcoming
drug sentencing
forget the plane
i'll pass on the drug charges and i'll
take my chances in the community
the boy first
you think it would benefit anyone to
harm the boy once i've gained my freedom
those are the
conditions then we have a lack of trust
you don't trust me because i control the
fate of the boy
i don't trust you because you're the fbi
you think i don't see the news
the fbi cannot afford the spectacle of
playing hardball with a four-year-old
boy's life in the balance
i'll be here
area right behind the garage you got
some kind of tarp for it oh yeah just
hold it back there keep it a little
quiet
hey i'm not gonna ask you know i got a
charger somewhere c-16 ed
slow the invoice down a little bit
you got it
okay i've had about enough of that
every phone call this guy made within
the first five days he was there is
nothing but phone sex
this is the third time you poisoned call
probationary agent robinson it sounds
like they get a little testy sorry about
that
all those hometown friends you thought
it'd be so great to have
think again
damn we're not getting closer to this
kid
you know
anyone who's pulled down any time inside
is going to know how to pipe info in and
out of a place like county how's that
a cut out
a guy you buy maybe one you already own
drugs cigarettes sex yeah but that's
prison culture this is a holding
facility serial supply
okay
so a cutout how do we find him well
we know the d phone number right yeah if
we can find just one outgoing call to
that number
i'll bet you we got her cut out
i bet you're right
i'll get the villa's phone number i'll
call connie
uh
hey you guys didn't see someone scramble
the whole porch here did you
old one dark blue yeah some guys told it
out of here a while ago
really yeah
they get ripped off
it looks that way
either gutsy is stupid see that building
fbi is in there
yeah you think it'd be safe around here
drag
sorry man
thanks
you didn't have to see the name on the
tow truck did you no
jb's
yeah yeah i think it was like the booze
how do you know that i can't help it i
get these visions sometimes
so you know the guy
i gotta go thanks for the information
brian peters he's been at county the
past two months he was picked up on a
drug sweep eight phone calls all placed
two
sandra b
i don't suppose they were dumb enough to
talk about where they're holding jeremy
hampton huh
everything here is pretty cryptic
never mentions ortiz by name
he loved the news he'd like you to come
in
here's the thing
second house is better
they're holding him in a meth house
brian peters is definitely our guy
nothing suggests what kind of
arrangement ortiz has this guy peter's
though well if it's money it's going to
be pretty easy to get between them but
if it's relationship we're going to need
some more leverage
anything jump out there i'd say brian
peters is pretty turnable he's a meth
head he's a wreck
so lapd just called they found the body
of a boy
how old
no report yet
i'll get catherine hampton
where
oh
it's okay it's okay it's not him it's
not yours i don't believe you i must
listen i must be a couple years old and
jeremy and the body is great decomposed
trust me oh god
i can't do this anymore
shoot her home and make sure she's all
right okay then get yourself home get
some rest i'm fine it was for you too
now i'm cool
yeah well if you're half as tired as i
am
no good look rest as a weapon don't be
afraid to use it
i don't know how i'm supposed to get to
sleep after all this
just go home eat something you know
don't be an agent for a couple of hours
believe me this case is far from over
go
catherine tried to stay calm
all right
she's out of a job she's taking
sedatives never prayed so much in her
life and i don't know what i'm supposed
to tell her
i don't have to go into the keep your
emotional distance space here do i
because it's quicksand annie
you never get a foothold
just one moment of weakness of which she
tried to back out of she changed her
mind she knew it wasn't right and this
is the price she pays
you know that gem of her husband the one
who put her in this position
he's already got lawyers working on the
civil charges to blend in with the
custody battle i know i mean scott we
get this kid back i don't know what
we're putting him into
and i don't know how to feel about it
believe that that's not her son that's
somebody's child

own advice here
go home
get some rest
hug your kid

thing there's no way i'm getting labeled
an informant on this all right leave it
like that you can't shake it
it's death
that's right
you ever done any serious time bernie
no
the only thing worse being a known
informant is being wrongly identified as
an informer
all you got to do is call sandra v to
get her to come in
we take care of the rest
this ortiz guy he keeps you pretty
hopped up right
i mean you're buzzing a little now right
you sell this four-year-old out for a
little crystal meth i'll make sure your
label is much worse than informing for
your ride on the state
pedophile
phone's right outside i can't call
tonight what's that they're cookers
they cook meth four or five nights out
of the week and they sleep all day if i
call down a day it's not an emergency

you think it went out on us
tell our teams we're trying to squeeze
him nope
you'll see he's got no place to turn
he'll call the wheelie woman and then
he'll get lit up on speed because it's
the only way he knows to cope with
pressure
human nature is my business

brilliant he bought it he bought it
where is it moved over to visitor
parking way back by the fence
you're the best
okay

because the assistant director is all
over me on these things washington is
getting reports from the u.s attorneys
that you are operating in unilateral
shoot from the hip mode you want me to
reply or you want me to just nod john
please
please don't give me this i can't listen
to management noise attitude all right
this is a high-profile case and i told
you when you first took this squad there
would be more eyes on you than you take
me off this squad right now i told you
dennis i would not run this thing unless
i could do it my way my choice of agents
i know micromanagement people who
haven't run a case in 15 years i mean it
dennis you came to me with the squad and
i told you then the minute i felt this
kind of crap it's over but john you
cannot operate as the only voice in the
entire organization fine
i am perfectly happy returning to street
agent status our narcotics or fugitives
and then all these washington boys and
all these attorneys can come out here
and solve these cases

paperwork on the confiscated culprit
last night you cannot make advice
without pre-approval robinson you know

really why do you live this way you're
like some high school kid
so
it'll be in the high 80s today this
morning's top local news story involves
district attorney milk stephen's
right-hand woman as it were deputy d.a
catherine hampton channel 7 has learned

so how close did you get last night
close damn close whatever difference
that makes
maybe we use this press leak to our
advantage
leverage the kidnappers into a no-win
situation now if we force them into a no
when we lose the boy they think they got
nowhere to go we'll find jimmy having
his body in a wash if at all and i'm
worried that they're gonna think that
today because it's damn news coverage
okay
ideas
i want to negotiate with ortiz myself
for real we can't get the u.s attorneys
to approve that and you know it we're
halfway home with that already andrew
with a piece of junk paper they gave us
last night to get a shot at the boy john
we're already not getting high marks
from the u.s attorneys on this ah dennis
don't bore me with the opinions of

we get the kid back before he goes to

okay dennis
you tell me
how i keep ortiz moving forward then i
mean you don't think he's gonna spell an
fbi stall tactic when he lived up to his
end of the deal he showed us the boy
i'm back at him this morning guys
i need something i can dance with
all right
i'll talk to the u.s attorney i'll get
to you before you leave
thanks
we were close
i did get a good look at him though he
appears to be fine
what can i do well nothing right now
except
keep a clear head
i assume you're under some sort of
detainment order
we're trying to find out how ortiz
contacts of elise
when we get that piece i feel confident
we'll find out where they're holding him
what about a deal can't we come up with
something the u.s attorney's office is
working on something
we will get leeway some room to maneuver
oh god there's so much that can go wrong
catherine
you've got to hold it together
you know that
you've been on the other side of the
system so you know that losing it now
isn't going to help anybody
sorry
just that i remember hearing these
things said said them myself to victims
families
i guess i just never thought i'd hear
them come back at me
lapd narcos suspects the villains are
running two to three meth labs locations
unknown probably where they're holding
jeremy hampton which means if we can
figure out how ortiz is communicating
with the vealies we'll have this thing
nailed what about phone tapes counting
tapes outgoing phone calls we're on it
they're already on roof uh robinson
reardon that would be the two of you
slogging through all of ortiz's recorded
phone calls no problem county phone
vlogs pretty decent it should be maybe
spot check a couple on each side of
ortiz's calls better we find out now if
somebody's lazy with the records over
there what about visitation booths don't
they record those as well you'll have
every phone call and or visitation tape
they have on ortiz think the villas are
ballsy enough to command the crts they
kidnapped the deputy da's kid and felt
brazen enough last night to rub our
faces in
short answer would be yes
you angling to run my squad now nothing
to do with squads
he's a guy i've known for 15 years and
he's so far under he's totally lost nick
tully is working through marital
problems that in no way affect his
ability to work the case frank he's not
working through marital anything he's
shacking up with a stripper and he's
buying heavily into his own cover oh
excuse me you're the reigning expert mr
been there done that
frank you've had enough to shut down for
months if you're milking this case for
points fine but don't do it at the
expense of a good agent with a wife and
kids at home
don't do it man i'm telling you once
john you ever stick it in my squad's
business again i will have opi all the
way down your throat and believe me a
lot of people around here who would
enjoy watching them carve you a new one
um it says uh highly confidential and
i'm not clear to to
okay
confidentially ortiz hampton
ortiz hampton situation adic and u.s
attorney has cleared you necessary means
for case resolution
that's it i hope you understand what
this means because i don't it means the
fbi and the symphony of wisdom has given
me the okay to fly
bigger
so
mr ortiz would prefer the following
transportation to be arranged for and
cleared by me which would consist of my
client at his expense chartering private
air transport to an undisclosed
international location
once clear of domestic airspace the
location of the boy will be disclosed
as a bonus he is willing to consider
disclosing the names of the people that
he feels most responsible for this
heinous act
both the bureau and the u.s attorney's
office have given their approval for us
to offer whatever it takes to secure the
release of the boy
but what's your i personally let you on
a plane without jeremy hampton in harm's
way
no chance i think that you and i should
step
then we are at an impasse
i guess so
then i cannot help you secure the
release of the boy
we are prepared to offer a pass
on the kidnapping and extortion charges
as well as reduction on the upcoming
drug sentencing
forget the plane
i'll pass on the drug charges and i'll
take my chances in the community
the boy first
you think it would benefit anyone to
harm the boy once i've gained my freedom
those are the
conditions then we have a lack of trust
you don't trust me because i control the
fate of the boy
i don't trust you because you're the fbi
you think i don't see the news
the fbi cannot afford the spectacle of
playing hardball with a four-year-old
boy's life in the balance
i'll be here
area right behind the garage you got
some kind of tarp for it oh yeah just
hold it back there keep it a little
quiet
hey i'm not gonna ask you know i got a
charger somewhere c-16 ed
slow the invoice down a little bit
you got it
okay i've had about enough of that
every phone call this guy made within
the first five days he was there is
nothing but phone sex
this is the third time you poisoned call
probationary agent robinson it sounds
like they get a little testy sorry about
that
all those hometown friends you thought
it'd be so great to have
think again
damn we're not getting closer to this
kid
you know
anyone who's pulled down any time inside
is going to know how to pipe info in and
out of a place like county how's that
a cut out
a guy you buy maybe one you already own
drugs cigarettes sex yeah but that's
prison culture this is a holding
facility serial supply
okay
so a cutout how do we find him well
we know the d phone number right yeah if
we can find just one outgoing call to
that number
i'll bet you we got her cut out
i bet you're right
i'll get the villa's phone number i'll
call connie
uh
hey you guys didn't see someone scramble
the whole porch here did you
old one dark blue yeah some guys told it
out of here a while ago
really yeah
they get ripped off
it looks that way
either gutsy is stupid see that building
fbi is in there
yeah you think it'd be safe around here
drag
sorry man
thanks
you didn't have to see the name on the
tow truck did you no
jb's
yeah yeah i think it was like the booze
how do you know that i can't help it i
get these visions sometimes
so you know the guy
i gotta go thanks for the information
brian peters he's been at county the
past two months he was picked up on a
drug sweep eight phone calls all placed
two
sandra b
i don't suppose they were dumb enough to
talk about where they're holding jeremy
hampton huh
everything here is pretty cryptic
never mentions ortiz by name
he loved the news he'd like you to come
in
here's the thing
second house is better
they're holding him in a meth house
brian peters is definitely our guy
nothing suggests what kind of
arrangement ortiz has this guy peter's
though well if it's money it's going to
be pretty easy to get between them but
if it's relationship we're going to need
some more leverage
anything jump out there i'd say brian
peters is pretty turnable he's a meth
head he's a wreck
so lapd just called they found the body
of a boy
how old
no report yet
i'll get catherine hampton
where
oh
it's okay it's okay it's not him it's
not yours i don't believe you i must
listen i must be a couple years old and
jeremy and the body is great decomposed

right okay then get yourself home get

catherine tried to stay calm
all right
she's out of a job she's taking
sedatives never prayed so much in her
life and i don't know what i'm supposed
to tell her
i don't have to go into the keep your
emotional distance space here do i
because it's quicksand annie
you never get a foothold
just one moment of weakness of which she
tried to back out of she changed her
mind she knew it wasn't right and this
is the price she pays
you know that gem of her husband the one
who put her in this position
he's already got lawyers working on the
civil charges to blend in with the
custody battle i know i mean scott we
get this kid back i don't know what
we're putting him into
and i don't know how to feel about it

own advice here

we're going to say we want you in there
this ortizig is federal it is a
kidnapping and with eight phone calls at
senator vita you are an accessory it'll
stink i don't know where the kid is okay
i mean she she has a cell phone or
sometimes she comes in
you want to offer me rhythm on a drug
thing there's no way i'm getting labeled
an informant on this all right leave it
like that you can't shake it
it's death
that's right
you ever done any serious time bernie
no
the only thing worse being a known
informant is being wrongly identified as
an informer
all you got to do is call sandra v to
get her to come in
we take care of the rest
this ortiz guy he keeps you pretty
hopped up right
i mean you're buzzing a little now right
you sell this four-year-old out for a
little crystal meth i'll make sure your
label is much worse than informing for
your ride on the state
pedophile
phone's right outside i can't call
tonight what's that they're cookers
they cook meth four or five nights out
of the week and they sleep all day if i
call down a day it's not an emergency
they're gonna know something's up and
i'm
dead you call her tonight but you make
sure she's in here before visitation cut
off and what am i supposed to say to him
when she gets here we'll take care of
that
give me something i can use
something won't get me killed
so
any calls yet no still got time
you think it went out on us
tell our teams we're trying to squeeze
him nope
you'll see he's got no place to turn
he'll call the wheelie woman and then
he'll get lit up on speed because it's
the only way he knows to cope with
pressure
human nature is my business
funny

brilliant he bought it he bought it
where is it moved over to visitor
parking way back by the fence
you're the best
okay

over me on these things washington is
getting reports from the u.s attorneys
that you are operating in unilateral
shoot from the hip mode you want me to
reply or you want me to just nod john
please
please don't give me this i can't listen
to management noise attitude all right
this is a high-profile case and i told
you when you first took this squad there

me off this squad right now i told you
dennis i would not run this thing unless
i could do it my way my choice of agents
i know micromanagement people who
haven't run a case in 15 years i mean it
dennis you came to me with the squad and
i told you then the minute i felt this
kind of crap it's over but john you
cannot operate as the only voice in the
entire organization fine

agent status our narcotics or fugitives

all these attorneys can come out here
