Without a Trace (2002–2009): Season 1, Episode 12 - Underground Railroad - full transcript
A pregnant woman goes missing suddenly from a hospital. Her marriage seems perfect but the team soon find themselves involved with an underground railroad for battered women.
WOMAN ( over P.A ):
Dr. Kravitz,
a visitor in the main lobby.
Dr. Kravitz,
a visitor in the main lobby.
Your temperature´s normal,
pulse is fine.
Your blood pressure is 150/95,
which is a little high.
I´d like to keep you
for 24 hours.
Check your urine, do some
blood work... just to be safe.
Why? Is there something wrong
with the baby?
No, the baby is fine.
These are just precautionary
measures.
I´m sure I´m fine.
I just feel a little off,
that´s all.
I never should have
had you working.
This has nothing to do
with that, Mr. Dobson.
She really got to stay
over night?
Well, she doesn´t have to
but I´d rather err
on the side of caution.
It´s payday.
I got to go sign
everybody´s checks
but I´ll come
right back, okay?
I´m just going to
be a couple hours.
Go ahead.
I´ll be all right.
You sure?
She´s in good hands now.
Why don´t you lie back,
try to relax.
Bonnie will take care of you.
I´ll come see you in a bit.
Thank you.
You´re going to take
your wife on a date?
Actually, yeah. You?
Please.
What do we have
going on here?
Kathy Dobson, eight-and-
a-half months pregnant.
Came in this morning
with complications.
Her husband dropped her off
for a couple of hours
for some tests--
he came back, she was gone.
Apparently, nobody
saw her leave.
My nurse took her blood,
took her urine sample.
The next thing we know,
no one can find her.
How long have you
been treating her?
Since the beginning
of her pregnancy.
And how were things
between her and her husband?
They seemed very happy.
He´s certainly attentive.
Dr. Krytzer, are there
any security cameras
in the building?
Well, not in the rooms,
of course
but in the hallways.
Under normal circumstances
this would be distressing
but given her condition
I´m concerned about
what could happen.
Why is that?
After she left, we
got her tests back.
She has preeclampsia.
If she were here, I
would have induced labor.
If she doesn´t deliver
in the next 24 hours
it could be fatal
for her and her child.
Morning, sunshine.
Oh, give me a break.
I´ve been at the hospital
for the last eight hours.
Anything turn up?
Oh, yeah.
23 nurses, 14 doctors,
12 orderlies
and a partridge in a pear tree.
And nobody saw her leave.
It´s, um, spooky.
I don´t know
what I was thinking.
I don´t think you should
blame yourself, Mr. Dobson.
I just... put
that crib together
last week.
We started
painting his room.
Tell me
what happened yesterday
before you and your wife
went to the hospital.
I was sitting at the table,
reading the paper
Kathy comes over
with my breakfast...
Here you go.
You want something
to drink?
Coffee would be great.
You´re not eating?
Oh, I´m not hungry.
( sighs )
You all right?
I´m just a little dizzy,
that´s all.
What are you talking about?
When did this start?
Oh, I´m fine.
I´ll be okay.
No, wait a minute.
You´re not feeling right,
we got to get you to a hospital.
I´m sure
I´m just a little tired.
Kathy, come on,
let´s get in the car now.
Okay.
Is there any chance
she would have left the hospital
of her own volition?
Why would she do that?
Well, she was reluctant
to go in the first place.
Maybe she was feeling better,
got in a cab...
No, no.
She, uh... she don´t like people
fussing all over her.
But...
she´s just not going to--
you know, with the doctor
all concerned--
walk out
without any answers.
Do you have any enemies
that you´re aware of?
No... not at all.
And everything in your marriage?
We´re about to have a baby.
This is the greatest time
of our life.
VIVIAN:
And everything was going well
with Kathy´s husband?
Absolutely.
Paul´s a great guy.
Treats her like a princess.
Mrs. Posey,
you see things differently?
What? Oh, no, Paul´s
a terrific husband.
They´re very happy together.
You don´t think
Paul did something to her?
I didn´t say that.
That´s always the way
it is with the cops.
They always want
to point the finger
at somebody in the family.
I guess it´s easier
than getting out in the street
and doing some real work.
Mr. Posey,
we´ve got five FBI agents
working around the clock
to try and find
your daughter.
So, I´d can the attitude
if I were you.
You´re right. I´m sorry.
I´m just...
she´s our baby girl and...
it´s our first grandson
she´s carrying.
Hey.
Hey.
My wife was nuts about
all this baby stuff, too.
A lot of bedside reading.
Daddy, Who Are...
Prepping Papa.
This guy was really committed.
Yeah, he´s a real saint.
Eight-and-a-half months pregnant
and she´s waiting on him
hand and foot.
She brought him breakfast.
He didn´t ask her
to go downstairs
and rotate the tires on his car.
He leaves the hospital,
two hours later she disappears.
It´s convenient,
that´s all I´m saying.
Yeah, well, his alibi is solid.
Yeah, well, maybe he hired
someone to lift her or kill her.
Right now
he´s living to have that boy
and without her,
he can´t have him.
Maybe he found out
the kid wasn´t his.
There´s nothing whatsoever
to indicate that that is true
but I thank you
for your imagination.
That´s why they pay me
the million bucks.
So, what,
according to your theory
he could have had her taken
at any time
but he waited
until she had complications
to have her grabbed
from the hospital?
Mm-hmm.
We have doctor,
man in a wheelchair
pregnant woman
that´s not her...
a fat guy in a robe,
a nurse...
Is it important
that you narrate?
You know,
I´m sorry, I forgot
you can´t think and listen
at the same time, and...
That´s pretty good
for someone
who can´t think
without speaking.
This is one big hospital.
You´d rather be
in the field, right?
Always.
So, what´s your theory, man?
Well, it´s almost impossible
to snatch a newborn
from a maturity wing, right?
Right.
So, what´s
the next best thing?
Of course, she
may have run off.
Now, why would a woman
that´s eight-and-a-half months
pregnant
and having complications
run off?
I don´t know.
Maybe she´s scared
or something.
Mmm... of what?
I can´t for the life of me
figure out what happened.
Tell us about
your sister-in-law.
What do you mean?
It´s not a very difficult
question.
What´s she like?
Uh, she´s kind.
She´s a very,
very kind person
and smart and,
uh, she´s funny.
You know, a lot of people
don´t realize how funny
she is, but she´s...
How did she get along
with everybody here?
Uh... great.
Everybody loves Kathy.
You know, a lot of girls,
if they´re the boss´s wife
have their noses up in the air,
you know?
But she works the register,
talks to all the rag men...
you know,
she treated everybody the same.
How was their relationship?
Kathy and Paul?
Happy as clams.
What about you and her?
What do you mean?
You get along?
Yeah, of course we did.
I love her.
She´s like a sister to me.
Like a sister I never had.
So, you and Kathy
are best friends?
We grew up together.
Grammar school,
high school...
I was her maid of honor.
So, did you see her often?
Well, you know,
we used to.
What changed?
I guess she
started drifting
when she got married.
And not just from me,
from everyone.
What was that about?
At first I figured it was
that new-love thing.
But it´s been,
like, three years
and just seems like
she just gets less and less
interested in her friends.
The other day
when I saw her
was the first time
in almost six months
and I had to drag
her out with me.
How did she seem?
We went shopping
for baby stuff.
It was just
like old times.
How cute is this!
Is that for you or for him?
It´s for him.
Everything´s going to be
for him.
I think pregnancy
agrees with you.
I just hope motherhood does.
What are you talking about?
You´re going to be
a great mother.
I know.
I just want him to be healthy
and happy.
Of course he will.
Thank you for being
such a good friend.
Of course.
( cries )
Hey...
Oh, oh...
( sniffles )
Just hormones.
Hey...
( beeping )
Oh...
Who´s that?
It´s Paul.
( cell phone rings )
Oh.
Geez, you´re popular.
He likes to be able
to get a hold of me.
Just a second.
Hello?
Hi, honey.
The way she answered
I couldn´t tell if she was
embarrassed or lying.
But something about it
wasn´t right.
Do you think maybe it wasn´t
Paul that paged her?
Well, we went downstairs
a couple minutes later
and she said
she was going catch to a cab
and I went across the street
for a coffee
and when I came out, I saw her
get into a car with another man.
What kind of car was it?
It was black.
I´m not sure of the make.
Two-door? Four-door?
Four... I think.
So, how do you go about
you know,
tracking somebody down?
We run their phone records,
credit cards
coordinate with the police,
that sort of thing.
It´s kind of hard
to get away, huh?
Well, in a city
of eight million people
it´s pretty easy, actually.
Why did you say, uh...
Why did you say "get away"?
What?
Get away.
You said "get away"
as opposed to
being taken or...?
Oh, I... I...
I wasn´t thinking.
It´s probably
what I´m hoping.
What kind of car
do you drive?
A ´99 Maximum.
What color?
Red.
You ever driven
a black car?
Well, yeah,
in my life, of course.
What about the last couple days?
Uh, no.
What about your brother?
Uh, he drives a blue Mustang.
What´s this about?
Is it possible
that your sister-in-law
was having an affair
with another man?
No. No way.
What? Are you guys suggesting
that she ran off with some
other guy two weeks before
she´s having Pauley´s baby?
Come on, man, that´s insane.
Yo, this stinks.
Yeah, just the way I like it.
Thanks.
I don´t know how you eat
that crap in the morning.
It´s gross.
Oh, come on--
protein, carbs,
dairy...
three of the four
food groups.
It´s good.
You want some?
I´m fine. Thanks.
Mmm, hold on.
Take a look at this.
What?
Right here. Look.
That´s her.
I think so.
Grab her picture.
It´s definitely her. Look.
11:03. That´s an hour
after her husband left her.
They´re heading out.
See the way he´s pressed up
against her?
That could be a gun.
Yeah.
VIVIAN:
Nice work, boys.
I knew if I left you two alone
you´d come up with something.
Yeah, but no matter
what we do, we can´t
make out the guy.
The baseball cap,
overcoat--
he does not want to be seen.
How tall is Kathy?
Five-three.
Okay, Overcoat´s
probably about five-six?
Could be a woman.
Lesbian lover?
Yeah, maybe
she´s the real father.
( chuckles )
We better re-canvass
the hospital.
I´ll give this to Jack.
I... I don´t know
who that could be.
Where were you
at 11:00 a.m. yesterday?
I was right here,
working the shop.
Can these guys
vouch for you?
Ask any one of them.
I couldn´t just sit around
the apartment any longer.
What´s going on?
SAMANTHA:
Well...
this photo was taken
off the hospital
security camera
at 11:00
yesterday morning.
You recognize
the person in that photo?
No.
You sure.
Yeah, I´m sure.
You think this is
the guy that took her?
We have no way
of knowing for sure
but it appears to be.
Son of a bitch.
I swear to God
I get my hands him,
I´m gonna kill him!
Come on, man...
What?!
Did you think
I´d give a damn?!
He´s my son!
He´s got my boy.
Do you mind if I talk
to my brother for a minute?
A couple business
things to take care of.
Sure, go ahead.
Wow. Well, that´s refreshing.
He´s got the FBI in his lap
and he still says
whatever he´s thinking.
Either that or he just
can´t control himself.
Look, I understand that,
but I really don´t think
you want to make me
come all the way down there
when this woman´s in danger.
Right.... Right.
Thank you.
Listen to this, man.
The day before she disappeared
Kathy Dobson had
a prescription filled
at a pharmacy
in Brooklyn.
Brooklyn? Why would she go
all the way to Brooklyn?
Are you sure it was her?
Unless she´s got
a five-foot, three
extremely pregnant friend
who filled it for her.
What was the prescription?
Aldomet. It lowers
blood pressure.
Why wouldn´t her doctor
mention this to us, huh?
Because it was written
by a different doctor.
A Dr. Feldman.
OBGYN?
Yep.
Why would she have two OBs, huh?
That´s a good question.
MARTIN:
Thank you for coming in,
Dr. Feldman.
We appreciate it.
You said it was important.
We need to ask you
a few questions
about Kathy Dobson.
Did something happen to her?
She disappeared.
What do you mean disappeared?
She was at your office
the day before yesterday, right?
Yes. Uh, she came in on
a routine consultation...
Are you aware that she sees
another obstetrician?
Yes. She came to see me
the first time
about six weeks ago.
She had some concerns
about the treatment
she was getting from him
and she wanted a second opinion.
Do you have reason to believe
that he wasn´t giving her
adequate care?
No, but she has the right to
as many opinions as she wants.
Did you consult
with Dr. Krytzer?
She asked me not to.
Anyway, it´s my policy
to protect the privacy
of my patients, not the feelings
of other doctors.
Did she come to you
by herself?
Yes.
Have you met her husband?
No, I get the feeling that he is
not particularly interested
in the process.
She told you that?
Not in so many words,
but it was the impression I got.
Thank you, Dr. Feldman.
If you hear anything else,
you´ll let us know?
Of course.
So how long
have you worked here?
How long?
( man answers indistinctly )
( revs engine )
( tires squeal )
Thank you.
What´s going on,
Richie?
It´s nothing. It´s just a little
family argument, all right?
It´s nothing.
Your brother slaps you
around for nothing?
He was pissed off is all.
Stop reading into it so much.
I don´t have
to read into it.
Not with half your rag men
out there whispering.
What are you talking about?
You´re banging his wife?
Are you crazy?
I would never lay a hand on her.
Maybe I should ask your brother.
See what he thinks
about all that
talk out there.
All right, it´s, uh,
it´s not what you think.
What do I think?
Pauley asked me to follow her.
He, he was, uh...
worried about her.
You know, he´s jealous.
I told him he was crazy,
but once he gets something
in his head, that´s it...
you know?
So he asked me to keep tabs
on her for a little bit
which I did, and now
he blames me for not knowing
what was going on.
That´s why he was so mad.
So who was in the black car
outside their apartment
that day?
It was me.
He paged her and asked her
to come back to the shop.
He told me to go pick her up.
I didn´t have a car, so I used
one of the customer´s.
Right.
He loves her, and that´s all
this is about.
Yeah, he loves her
like he loves you--
with a raised hand.
Where did he just tear off to?
He wanted to know
all their addresses
and everywhere she´s been,
you know?
I guess he´s trying to track her
down or something.
Yeah, well, you better give me
those addresses as well.
We got to check out everywhere
the brother saw her go.
But all we have is an address?
Wow, this is some lead.
Looks like we´re going
door to door.
I should´ve brought my Bibles.
Yeah, I think you´re more
of an insurance guy.
In the meantime,
give me the names.
I´ll, uh,
I´ll start running them.
You want them
in alphabetical order?
Very cute. What are they?
She was never
at the salon.
It would be nice
if the brother
could give us
something more than
just a list of addresses.
The brother said
he saw her come in here.
All right,
what´s your best guess?
What´s this about?
Was she here?
I think I have a right to know
what this is about.
She´s missing. We think
she might´ve been kidnapped.
When?
Yesterday morning.
Look, she´s in danger
and every second we waste
explaining it to you
is a second she and her baby
may not have.
She came in
a couple of months ago.
She was very nervous.
Skiddish, I would say.
Please, Mrs. Dobson
sit down.
Um...
It´s okay, um, I have to be back
in a few minutes.
I have to get back before, um...
( sighs heavily )
Um... I just, I wanted to ask
you a few questions
about, uh...
If I were to get divorced...
would my husband have to get
part of the custody?
In all likelihood, yes.
Even if it were before
the baby was born?
Unless there were some
mitigating circumstances.
Is the baby his?
Yes.
Or... if there was
some kind of abuse.
Did you file any police reports?
( softly ):
No.
Does your doctor
know about this?
No.
Is there anyone who could
testify in your behalf?
( sobbing )
I´m afraid it´s almost
impossible to prove then
if it´s just your word
against his.
He... he hits me.
Never in the face.
Oh, he´s too smart for that.
He hits me in, in my back
and in my sides
and, um, once-once
he burnt me with a cigarette.
And you never told anyone?
I-I have to go.
Thank you for your time.
If something´s happened to her
I guarantee you, her husband
had something to do with it.
DANNY:
If he was knocking
her around so much
how come nobody noticed?
Family, friends,
coworkers?
You´d be surprised
the amount effort
a woman will go to
to hide it.
But from her own parents?
Well, it would explain why
she didn´t see him that much
why she pulled away
from her friends.
Yeah, but maybe
she was planning
on skipping town.
She goes to the lawyer,
gives her that sob story
and expects the lawyer
to be her mouthpiece.
She´d have to be
pretty cunning to do that.
Well, I guess we better talk
to the husband.
If we can find him.
I swear to God, I´ve been
trying him on his cell.
He´s just not answering,
you know?
He´s probably at one
of the addresses I gave him
trying to find Kathy.
( phone ringing )
Taylor.
Keep an eye out for the husband.
We got a couple of agents
staking out the entrance
but he might already be inside
the building.
And I think I´ve got a lead
for you.
Joan Wilson, 4-D.
She´s on the board
of the St. Francis
Battered Women´s Shelter.
Headquarters: half a mile
from Kathy´s house.
All right, I´m on it.
The husband´s MIA.
I´ve got Martin baby-sitting
the brother, but...
I just talked to Danny
at the hospital.
Joan Wilson´s
not ready to talk yet
but it had to be the husband
who got to her.
Your instincts were good
about him.
Here´s what I can´t figure out.
He´s been abusing her for years,
and she decides
to run now, when she´s
8 1/2 months pregnant?
Doesn´t make sense.
Two weeks before D day.
Maybe she dug up
the courage.
Okay, then who´s the guy
in the overcoat?
Is that Joan Wilson´s
rundown?
Yeah.
Does it say how
tall she is?
Uh...
Five-foot-seven.
That would fit
the security video.
It certainly would.
Here´s something weird.
Joan Wilson, fourth grade
teacher in Brooklyn
hold the title
on a TV repair shop
in Forest Hills.
She picked it up
at a foreclosure
two years ago.
TV repair shop?
That´s an odd sideline
for a school teacher.
Mrs. Wilson, hi.
I´m Danny Taylor.
I´m with the FBI.
Would you mind if I ask
you a couple questions?
I don´t remember anything.
So you don´t know
who did this to you?
No.
Someone knocked on my door,
I answered it...
That´s the last thing
I remember.
Was it this man?
I don´t know.
I´m sorry.
No, that´s okay.
Look, whoever
did this to you
did they ask any questions?
Specifically
about a woman?
No.
Ever seen her before?
No.
Wh-Who is she?
Can I help you?
MALONE:
FBI.
Would you mind
if I checked
your back room?
What´s the problem?
Just looking for something.
I´m not saying
a word to you.
I want a lawyer.
Now.
Take a seat here.
Please.
Please don´t
take us back
to my husband.
You have no idea
what he does to us.
I understand.
I really do.
And I will help you...
but I need you
to help me first.
Have you seen this woman?
I know you´ve seen her.
You saw how
pregnant she is.
She has a condition
that´s life-threatening
to both her
and the baby, and she
doesn´t even know it.
I need to find her.
She was here last night.
( door opening )
Just come in
and sit down.
I´m sorry about this
but we had an emergency
situation, okay?
Everything´s going
to be all right.
Sit tight.
I´ll be back
in a few minutes.
Okay.
( ringing )
My husband.
He pages me
every three minutes.
Why don´t you turn it off?
I don´t know.
You´re here.
You started the ball rolling,
right?
I was... I was supposed
to wait until after.
Then he did something?
He´d been good
the past couple months, but...
( sighs )
You did the right thing.
For both of you.
I hope so.
She was only here
for a couple of hours.
They rushed through
giving her new paperwork
and then she was gone again.
Do you have any idea
where she is?
No.
With me, everything´s
been so well organized.
But...
I don´t think
they were ready for her.
( phone ringing )
Taylor.
Mm-hmm.
Mm. Mm-hmm.
Who were you calling,
Ms. Wilson?
My sister, if that´s all right.
We know you´re part
of an underground railroad
that helps abused women.
What are you talking about?
You were arranging for Kathy
Dobson to leave her husband.
She called you
from the hospital that day.
You picked her up.
We found the other woman
and her son at your TV shop.
Fake passports, wigs.
Hmm?
You guys are good.
We need to find her,
Ms. Wilson.
Kathy´s in danger.
Look what he did to me.
If I didn´t tell him
where she was
do you really think
I´m going to tell you?
How many of these
underground railroads
are there?
We don´t know.
Maybe 15, 20
in the country.
Ah. So, these guys
forge passports
they help mothers
kidnap their children
away from their fathers--
they break about a dozen
different federal laws.
Why don´t we bust
these people?
Well, I remember a couple
of agents got close
a few years back
down in Texas.
But when it came time
to putting the squeeze on
no one would talk.
Let me tell you--
these women in the underground
make the CIA boys
look like a gossip convention.
( phone ringing )
Yeah.
Hey.
Mm-hmm.
Wow.
All right,
I owe you one, man.
Thanks.
Viv...
Dr. Feldman--
Kathy´s second gynecologist--
his daughter Tracy was killed
five years ago.
Stabbed to death by her husband.
I´m going to talk
to the doctor again.
You´re in big trouble,
Dr. Feldman.
I know you think
what you´re doing
is heroic, and on
some level, it may be.
But your overzealousness
may cost Kathy
and her baby their lives.
How´s that?
We know from her other doctor
that she´s preeclamptic.
I know you think
you´re doing the right thing
by protecting
your partners
but the secrecy of your network
has already been violated.
Now, if Kathy´s husband
finds her
before we do
I don´t think you´d want that
over your head.
Look, I can´t tell you
where she is.
I can´t do it!
Dr. Feldman, I know
about your daughter Tracy.
I understand
why you do this.
But I don´t want to have
to send you to prison.
All right, look.
What if I was to tell you
we´re not interested
in breaking up your network?
All we want to do
is find Kathy Dobson
and bring her to safety.
All right.
I don´t know where
she is exactly.
See, there´s
a system.
So, only two
or three people
know where a runner is
at any time.
I know that she´s
in Staten Island
a-and that´s all.
You got to give me
more than that.
All right, I have
one contact in
Staten Island.
Someone I´ve
worked with before
but it´s just
a phone number.
I don´t know if
Kathy´s there or not.
All right, look, you´ve
got to call over there.
You tell them that you
have another runner.
She´s in Staten Island
and it´s urgent.
And she needs to get
to that safe house.
I´m not sure I can do that.
Yeah, well,
you´re going to have to.
Make the call.
All right, look
I´m going to put
four agents in two cars
surveilling the house.
If anything goes down...
No surveillance.
Come on, Viv.
I´m going in there
out of the blue as it is.
They get a sense
that there´s anyone around
besides me,
I´m not getting in there.
Jack, they´re not violent.
There people
have broken
at least a dozen federal laws.
If you get made, you become
a big obstacle to them.
We´re not going in there
to bring them down, right?
We´re just going in there
to find the woman.
Like I said, they´ve broken
at least a dozen federal laws.
No surveillance.
Two hours.
That´s all the time you got.
After that, we´re
banging down the door.
All right.
I´ve been married
for six years.
At first it was great
but then two years
into the marriage...
My husband lost his job,
and he started drinking
and then he started hitting me.
It´s been the same
ever since.
I reported him to the police,
but they did nothing.
Why now?
A couple of months ago,
I was pregnant
and he pushed me,
and I lost the baby.
And that´s when
I decided
I-I wouldn´t take anymore.
( sighs )
I just didn´t know how
to get away.
Every time I talked
about leaving
he said he´d kill me first.
You´re doing the right thing.
We can help you
start a new life.
That´s what I want.
Now, here are our rules:
you cannot tell anyone, ever
about anyone
in the network.
Not our names
not our addresses,
not what we do for a living.
´Cause even if you decide
to go home
there are other women
that depend upon the
secrecy of this system.
And assuming... that you have
the good sense not to go home
you cannot call anyone.
Not parents, siblings,
friends, no one.
Not ever.
I understand.
Oh, it´s easy for
you to say that now
but you´re going
to start feeling badly
about not saying good-bye.
You´re going to want
to call someone.
Maybe even
your husband.
Under no circumstances
can you do that.
Under no circumstances.
I-I wouldn´t do that.
Okay, let´s start arranging
to get you
some identification, huh?
Give me all
your old IDs--
driver´s license,
credit cards.
I-I didn´t bring
any of that stuff.
I thought that was
the whole point.
Well...
...good thinking.
Fitzgerald here.
NYPD just called.
Kathy Dobson´s mother
was just seen
going up to her
apartment complex
with a suitcase.
Thanks.
What are you doing
here, Mrs. Posey?
Kathy called you, didn´t she?
( sobbing )
Who are you?
What are you doing?
You´re not scared,
and you´re way too curious.
Now, who the hell are you?
WOMAN:
Look, you don´t tell me
what you´re
doing here right now
you´re going to make me
use this.
Okay. My name is
Vivian Johnson.
I´m a Federal Agent
and I´m looking for a woman
by the name of Kathy Dobson.
Give me a break.
You´re a P.I.
Somebody´s husband sent you.
I want to know who.
She has a medical condition
and if she does not go
to the hospital immediately
she may die.
You are so full of crap.
Look...
we can sit here all night
but you will tell me who you are
and what you´re doing here.
I have a number.
It is the New York office
of the FBI.
Now, if you don´t want
to get yourself
into a world of trouble
you´ll call it
and confirm my story.
Give me the number.
I don´t how
it could ever come to this.
My sweet baby...
MARTIN:
Tell us about
the phone call.
It was a couple of hours ago.
I was home with Michael;
he was in the other room
and the phone rang.
( phone rings )
Hello?
Mom?
Kathy! Where are you?
I-I can´t say.
I just wanted to let you know
I´m okay.
What are you talking about?
We´re worried sick.
I wanted to say good-bye.
I´m leaving.
Leaving?
Where are you going?
I-I have to go away.
But why? What´s happened?
It´s Paul, Mom.
You know why.
There are people,
they can help me
get set up again--
start a new life.
I may not see you again.
Not for a long time.
Maybe not ever.
But...
It´s okay. Don´t worry.
It´s going to be better for me.
Different.
Do you have money? Clothes?
Please, let me
bring you something.
Mom, I...
I can´t.
Just tell me where you are.
I´ll wait outside.
You can come out.
I just want to see you.
She told me to meet her at 7:00.
She´s waiting for me right now.
You knew he was hitting
her, didn´t you?
No... I didn´t.
Then why would you let her go
so easily?
You knew Paul was hitting her,
didn´t you?
( crying )
Where is she, Mrs. Posey?
I don´t know.
He took the address.
Who?
My husband.
I had it on
a piece of paper
I... He wanted
to come with me.
I was just going to go
to Kathy´s apartment
to get a few things...
and then we were
going to go together.
What´s so special
about Kathy Dobson?
I told you;
she´s sick.
We got doctors
that can treat her.
You don´t understand.
She´s preeclamptic.
She´s a time bomb
waiting to go off.
Look, even if you are
telling the truth
and we do take her
to a real hospital
she´ll be exposed.
We can protect her.
Look, Diane,
in about ten minutes
five FBI agents
are going to come barreling
through that door.
You will be arrested and
your network with be destroyed.
We are a lot stronger
than any one person.
And in the grand scheme of
things, I´m very expendable.
Well, as far as I can see
other than these,
you haven´t broken any laws.
But if Kathy Dobson dies
you´re going to be tried
for murder
in a very public trial.
Think about what that´s going
to do to your network.
JACK:
So, your wife
gave you the address.
This is between
a husband and a wife.
This is none of your concern.
A husband and a wife?
You gave Paul the address.
You called him
and you gave him the address.
She´s his wife.
He hits her.
That´s a bunch of crap.
He dotes on her.
I know that you think
that you´re doing
your daughter some good
but Paul is not even remotely
a good guy.
He smacks
your daughter around.
We would have seen it.
I don´t think so.
She´s very good at hiding it.
How could she?
I don´t know.
How did your wife hide it
all these years?
What are you talking about?
Look, I´d like to appeal
to your more sensitive nature
tell you that your daughter´s
in trouble
but that doesn´t seem
to faze you.
So, why don´t we try this:
If you make me wait one more
minute for that address
I´m going to have you
sent to jail
and locked up for impeding
a federal investigation.
Do you understand that,
Mr. Posey?
You got people
around the house?
You call them off.
I don´t. I came alone.
I thought you said they were
bursting in here any minute.
They know where I am.
The house is not
under surveillance though.
Look, if arresting you
was our main objective
we would have done that already.
I came here alone
and you´re just going to have
to trust me on that.
I know you´re not going
to give us anything
but you got to do
one thing for me.
When we nail Paul Dobson
you got to testify
what he did to you.
He goes to jail,
and Kathy goes free...
legally.
Step up.
Kathy...
everything´s going
to be all right.
Kathy, my name is
Vivian Johnson,
I´m with the FBI.
How are you feeling?
I´m okay.
Now, we´re going to have
to get you to the hospital.
No, no, I´ll be okay.
Look, you´re going to have
to get these off of me.
Look, we got doctors...
They´re in there!
Oh, my God, that´s Paul.
Kathy, get back.
Where´s my wife?!
( glass breaking )
All right,
put the gun down!
Drop the gun!
Back off!
Back... off!
Where´s my wife?
Put the gun down.
Mr. Dobson, I´m a Federal Agent
don´t do anything stupid.
I don´t care
who the hell you are.
Kat...
You can come out.
She´s not going with you.
Shut up!
Kathy... I´m sorry.
I´m sorry for whatever I´d done.
Kat...
I love you.
Please...
You don´t have to do that,
Kathy.
Shut up!
Shut your mouth!
Shut up!
Kat...
I love you.
Come with me.
Paul, I can´t.
You need help.
I need help?
You come with me now.
( car tires squeal )
( grunts and groans )
Stay down!
Put the cuffs on him.
You can´t do this to me.
I just want my family back.
Kathy, please!
JACK:
Get him out of here.
Kathy!
I just want
my family back. Kathy!
I don´t feel so well.
Let´s get you
out of here.
It´s going to be okay.
You all right?
Yeah.
Who´s this?
She´s with
Stanton Island P.D.
Lucky you were here.
Dr. Kravitz,
a visitor in the main lobby.
Dr. Kravitz,
a visitor in the main lobby.
Your temperature´s normal,
pulse is fine.
Your blood pressure is 150/95,
which is a little high.
I´d like to keep you
for 24 hours.
Check your urine, do some
blood work... just to be safe.
Why? Is there something wrong
with the baby?
No, the baby is fine.
These are just precautionary
measures.
I´m sure I´m fine.
I just feel a little off,
that´s all.
I never should have
had you working.
This has nothing to do
with that, Mr. Dobson.
She really got to stay
over night?
Well, she doesn´t have to
but I´d rather err
on the side of caution.
It´s payday.
I got to go sign
everybody´s checks
but I´ll come
right back, okay?
I´m just going to
be a couple hours.
Go ahead.
I´ll be all right.
You sure?
She´s in good hands now.
Why don´t you lie back,
try to relax.
Bonnie will take care of you.
I´ll come see you in a bit.
Thank you.
You´re going to take
your wife on a date?
Actually, yeah. You?
Please.
What do we have
going on here?
Kathy Dobson, eight-and-
a-half months pregnant.
Came in this morning
with complications.
Her husband dropped her off
for a couple of hours
for some tests--
he came back, she was gone.
Apparently, nobody
saw her leave.
My nurse took her blood,
took her urine sample.
The next thing we know,
no one can find her.
How long have you
been treating her?
Since the beginning
of her pregnancy.
And how were things
between her and her husband?
They seemed very happy.
He´s certainly attentive.
Dr. Krytzer, are there
any security cameras
in the building?
Well, not in the rooms,
of course
but in the hallways.
Under normal circumstances
this would be distressing
but given her condition
I´m concerned about
what could happen.
Why is that?
After she left, we
got her tests back.
She has preeclampsia.
If she were here, I
would have induced labor.
If she doesn´t deliver
in the next 24 hours
it could be fatal
for her and her child.
Morning, sunshine.
Oh, give me a break.
I´ve been at the hospital
for the last eight hours.
Anything turn up?
Oh, yeah.
23 nurses, 14 doctors,
12 orderlies
and a partridge in a pear tree.
And nobody saw her leave.
It´s, um, spooky.
I don´t know
what I was thinking.
I don´t think you should
blame yourself, Mr. Dobson.
I just... put
that crib together
last week.
We started
painting his room.
Tell me
what happened yesterday
before you and your wife
went to the hospital.
I was sitting at the table,
reading the paper
Kathy comes over
with my breakfast...
Here you go.
You want something
to drink?
Coffee would be great.
You´re not eating?
Oh, I´m not hungry.
( sighs )
You all right?
I´m just a little dizzy,
that´s all.
What are you talking about?
When did this start?
Oh, I´m fine.
I´ll be okay.
No, wait a minute.
You´re not feeling right,
we got to get you to a hospital.
I´m sure
I´m just a little tired.
Kathy, come on,
let´s get in the car now.
Okay.
Is there any chance
she would have left the hospital
of her own volition?
Why would she do that?
Well, she was reluctant
to go in the first place.
Maybe she was feeling better,
got in a cab...
No, no.
She, uh... she don´t like people
fussing all over her.
But...
she´s just not going to--
you know, with the doctor
all concerned--
walk out
without any answers.
Do you have any enemies
that you´re aware of?
No... not at all.
And everything in your marriage?
We´re about to have a baby.
This is the greatest time
of our life.
VIVIAN:
And everything was going well
with Kathy´s husband?
Absolutely.
Paul´s a great guy.
Treats her like a princess.
Mrs. Posey,
you see things differently?
What? Oh, no, Paul´s
a terrific husband.
They´re very happy together.
You don´t think
Paul did something to her?
I didn´t say that.
That´s always the way
it is with the cops.
They always want
to point the finger
at somebody in the family.
I guess it´s easier
than getting out in the street
and doing some real work.
Mr. Posey,
we´ve got five FBI agents
working around the clock
to try and find
your daughter.
So, I´d can the attitude
if I were you.
You´re right. I´m sorry.
I´m just...
she´s our baby girl and...
it´s our first grandson
she´s carrying.
Hey.
Hey.
My wife was nuts about
all this baby stuff, too.
A lot of bedside reading.
Daddy, Who Are...
Prepping Papa.
This guy was really committed.
Yeah, he´s a real saint.
Eight-and-a-half months pregnant
and she´s waiting on him
hand and foot.
She brought him breakfast.
He didn´t ask her
to go downstairs
and rotate the tires on his car.
He leaves the hospital,
two hours later she disappears.
It´s convenient,
that´s all I´m saying.
Yeah, well, his alibi is solid.
Yeah, well, maybe he hired
someone to lift her or kill her.
Right now
he´s living to have that boy
and without her,
he can´t have him.
Maybe he found out
the kid wasn´t his.
There´s nothing whatsoever
to indicate that that is true
but I thank you
for your imagination.
That´s why they pay me
the million bucks.
So, what,
according to your theory
he could have had her taken
at any time
but he waited
until she had complications
to have her grabbed
from the hospital?
Mm-hmm.
We have doctor,
man in a wheelchair
pregnant woman
that´s not her...
a fat guy in a robe,
a nurse...
Is it important
that you narrate?
You know,
I´m sorry, I forgot
you can´t think and listen
at the same time, and...
That´s pretty good
for someone
who can´t think
without speaking.
This is one big hospital.
You´d rather be
in the field, right?
Always.
So, what´s your theory, man?
Well, it´s almost impossible
to snatch a newborn
from a maturity wing, right?
Right.
So, what´s
the next best thing?
Of course, she
may have run off.
Now, why would a woman
that´s eight-and-a-half months
pregnant
and having complications
run off?
I don´t know.
Maybe she´s scared
or something.
Mmm... of what?
I can´t for the life of me
figure out what happened.
Tell us about
your sister-in-law.
What do you mean?
It´s not a very difficult
question.
What´s she like?
Uh, she´s kind.
She´s a very,
very kind person
and smart and,
uh, she´s funny.
You know, a lot of people
don´t realize how funny
she is, but she´s...
How did she get along
with everybody here?
Uh... great.
Everybody loves Kathy.
You know, a lot of girls,
if they´re the boss´s wife
have their noses up in the air,
you know?
But she works the register,
talks to all the rag men...
you know,
she treated everybody the same.
How was their relationship?
Kathy and Paul?
Happy as clams.
What about you and her?
What do you mean?
You get along?
Yeah, of course we did.
I love her.
She´s like a sister to me.
Like a sister I never had.
So, you and Kathy
are best friends?
We grew up together.
Grammar school,
high school...
I was her maid of honor.
So, did you see her often?
Well, you know,
we used to.
What changed?
I guess she
started drifting
when she got married.
And not just from me,
from everyone.
What was that about?
At first I figured it was
that new-love thing.
But it´s been,
like, three years
and just seems like
she just gets less and less
interested in her friends.
The other day
when I saw her
was the first time
in almost six months
and I had to drag
her out with me.
How did she seem?
We went shopping
for baby stuff.
It was just
like old times.
How cute is this!
Is that for you or for him?
It´s for him.
Everything´s going to be
for him.
I think pregnancy
agrees with you.
I just hope motherhood does.
What are you talking about?
You´re going to be
a great mother.
I know.
I just want him to be healthy
and happy.
Of course he will.
Thank you for being
such a good friend.
Of course.
( cries )
Hey...
Oh, oh...
( sniffles )
Just hormones.
Hey...
( beeping )
Oh...
Who´s that?
It´s Paul.
( cell phone rings )
Oh.
Geez, you´re popular.
He likes to be able
to get a hold of me.
Just a second.
Hello?
Hi, honey.
The way she answered
I couldn´t tell if she was
embarrassed or lying.
But something about it
wasn´t right.
Do you think maybe it wasn´t
Paul that paged her?
Well, we went downstairs
a couple minutes later
and she said
she was going catch to a cab
and I went across the street
for a coffee
and when I came out, I saw her
get into a car with another man.
What kind of car was it?
It was black.
I´m not sure of the make.
Two-door? Four-door?
Four... I think.
So, how do you go about
you know,
tracking somebody down?
We run their phone records,
credit cards
coordinate with the police,
that sort of thing.
It´s kind of hard
to get away, huh?
Well, in a city
of eight million people
it´s pretty easy, actually.
Why did you say, uh...
Why did you say "get away"?
What?
Get away.
You said "get away"
as opposed to
being taken or...?
Oh, I... I...
I wasn´t thinking.
It´s probably
what I´m hoping.
What kind of car
do you drive?
A ´99 Maximum.
What color?
Red.
You ever driven
a black car?
Well, yeah,
in my life, of course.
What about the last couple days?
Uh, no.
What about your brother?
Uh, he drives a blue Mustang.
What´s this about?
Is it possible
that your sister-in-law
was having an affair
with another man?
No. No way.
What? Are you guys suggesting
that she ran off with some
other guy two weeks before
she´s having Pauley´s baby?
Come on, man, that´s insane.
Yo, this stinks.
Yeah, just the way I like it.
Thanks.
I don´t know how you eat
that crap in the morning.
It´s gross.
Oh, come on--
protein, carbs,
dairy...
three of the four
food groups.
It´s good.
You want some?
I´m fine. Thanks.
Mmm, hold on.
Take a look at this.
What?
Right here. Look.
That´s her.
I think so.
Grab her picture.
It´s definitely her. Look.
11:03. That´s an hour
after her husband left her.
They´re heading out.
See the way he´s pressed up
against her?
That could be a gun.
Yeah.
VIVIAN:
Nice work, boys.
I knew if I left you two alone
you´d come up with something.
Yeah, but no matter
what we do, we can´t
make out the guy.
The baseball cap,
overcoat--
he does not want to be seen.
How tall is Kathy?
Five-three.
Okay, Overcoat´s
probably about five-six?
Could be a woman.
Lesbian lover?
Yeah, maybe
she´s the real father.
( chuckles )
We better re-canvass
the hospital.
I´ll give this to Jack.
I... I don´t know
who that could be.
Where were you
at 11:00 a.m. yesterday?
I was right here,
working the shop.
Can these guys
vouch for you?
Ask any one of them.
I couldn´t just sit around
the apartment any longer.
What´s going on?
SAMANTHA:
Well...
this photo was taken
off the hospital
security camera
at 11:00
yesterday morning.
You recognize
the person in that photo?
No.
You sure.
Yeah, I´m sure.
You think this is
the guy that took her?
We have no way
of knowing for sure
but it appears to be.
Son of a bitch.
I swear to God
I get my hands him,
I´m gonna kill him!
Come on, man...
What?!
Did you think
I´d give a damn?!
He´s my son!
He´s got my boy.
Do you mind if I talk
to my brother for a minute?
A couple business
things to take care of.
Sure, go ahead.
Wow. Well, that´s refreshing.
He´s got the FBI in his lap
and he still says
whatever he´s thinking.
Either that or he just
can´t control himself.
Look, I understand that,
but I really don´t think
you want to make me
come all the way down there
when this woman´s in danger.
Right.... Right.
Thank you.
Listen to this, man.
The day before she disappeared
Kathy Dobson had
a prescription filled
at a pharmacy
in Brooklyn.
Brooklyn? Why would she go
all the way to Brooklyn?
Are you sure it was her?
Unless she´s got
a five-foot, three
extremely pregnant friend
who filled it for her.
What was the prescription?
Aldomet. It lowers
blood pressure.
Why wouldn´t her doctor
mention this to us, huh?
Because it was written
by a different doctor.
A Dr. Feldman.
OBGYN?
Yep.
Why would she have two OBs, huh?
That´s a good question.
MARTIN:
Thank you for coming in,
Dr. Feldman.
We appreciate it.
You said it was important.
We need to ask you
a few questions
about Kathy Dobson.
Did something happen to her?
She disappeared.
What do you mean disappeared?
She was at your office
the day before yesterday, right?
Yes. Uh, she came in on
a routine consultation...
Are you aware that she sees
another obstetrician?
Yes. She came to see me
the first time
about six weeks ago.
She had some concerns
about the treatment
she was getting from him
and she wanted a second opinion.
Do you have reason to believe
that he wasn´t giving her
adequate care?
No, but she has the right to
as many opinions as she wants.
Did you consult
with Dr. Krytzer?
She asked me not to.
Anyway, it´s my policy
to protect the privacy
of my patients, not the feelings
of other doctors.
Did she come to you
by herself?
Yes.
Have you met her husband?
No, I get the feeling that he is
not particularly interested
in the process.
She told you that?
Not in so many words,
but it was the impression I got.
Thank you, Dr. Feldman.
If you hear anything else,
you´ll let us know?
Of course.
So how long
have you worked here?
How long?
( man answers indistinctly )
( revs engine )
( tires squeal )
Thank you.
What´s going on,
Richie?
It´s nothing. It´s just a little
family argument, all right?
It´s nothing.
Your brother slaps you
around for nothing?
He was pissed off is all.
Stop reading into it so much.
I don´t have
to read into it.
Not with half your rag men
out there whispering.
What are you talking about?
You´re banging his wife?
Are you crazy?
I would never lay a hand on her.
Maybe I should ask your brother.
See what he thinks
about all that
talk out there.
All right, it´s, uh,
it´s not what you think.
What do I think?
Pauley asked me to follow her.
He, he was, uh...
worried about her.
You know, he´s jealous.
I told him he was crazy,
but once he gets something
in his head, that´s it...
you know?
So he asked me to keep tabs
on her for a little bit
which I did, and now
he blames me for not knowing
what was going on.
That´s why he was so mad.
So who was in the black car
outside their apartment
that day?
It was me.
He paged her and asked her
to come back to the shop.
He told me to go pick her up.
I didn´t have a car, so I used
one of the customer´s.
Right.
He loves her, and that´s all
this is about.
Yeah, he loves her
like he loves you--
with a raised hand.
Where did he just tear off to?
He wanted to know
all their addresses
and everywhere she´s been,
you know?
I guess he´s trying to track her
down or something.
Yeah, well, you better give me
those addresses as well.
We got to check out everywhere
the brother saw her go.
But all we have is an address?
Wow, this is some lead.
Looks like we´re going
door to door.
I should´ve brought my Bibles.
Yeah, I think you´re more
of an insurance guy.
In the meantime,
give me the names.
I´ll, uh,
I´ll start running them.
You want them
in alphabetical order?
Very cute. What are they?
She was never
at the salon.
It would be nice
if the brother
could give us
something more than
just a list of addresses.
The brother said
he saw her come in here.
All right,
what´s your best guess?
What´s this about?
Was she here?
I think I have a right to know
what this is about.
She´s missing. We think
she might´ve been kidnapped.
When?
Yesterday morning.
Look, she´s in danger
and every second we waste
explaining it to you
is a second she and her baby
may not have.
She came in
a couple of months ago.
She was very nervous.
Skiddish, I would say.
Please, Mrs. Dobson
sit down.
Um...
It´s okay, um, I have to be back
in a few minutes.
I have to get back before, um...
( sighs heavily )
Um... I just, I wanted to ask
you a few questions
about, uh...
If I were to get divorced...
would my husband have to get
part of the custody?
In all likelihood, yes.
Even if it were before
the baby was born?
Unless there were some
mitigating circumstances.
Is the baby his?
Yes.
Or... if there was
some kind of abuse.
Did you file any police reports?
( softly ):
No.
Does your doctor
know about this?
No.
Is there anyone who could
testify in your behalf?
( sobbing )
I´m afraid it´s almost
impossible to prove then
if it´s just your word
against his.
He... he hits me.
Never in the face.
Oh, he´s too smart for that.
He hits me in, in my back
and in my sides
and, um, once-once
he burnt me with a cigarette.
And you never told anyone?
I-I have to go.
Thank you for your time.
If something´s happened to her
I guarantee you, her husband
had something to do with it.
DANNY:
If he was knocking
her around so much
how come nobody noticed?
Family, friends,
coworkers?
You´d be surprised
the amount effort
a woman will go to
to hide it.
But from her own parents?
Well, it would explain why
she didn´t see him that much
why she pulled away
from her friends.
Yeah, but maybe
she was planning
on skipping town.
She goes to the lawyer,
gives her that sob story
and expects the lawyer
to be her mouthpiece.
She´d have to be
pretty cunning to do that.
Well, I guess we better talk
to the husband.
If we can find him.
I swear to God, I´ve been
trying him on his cell.
He´s just not answering,
you know?
He´s probably at one
of the addresses I gave him
trying to find Kathy.
( phone ringing )
Taylor.
Keep an eye out for the husband.
We got a couple of agents
staking out the entrance
but he might already be inside
the building.
And I think I´ve got a lead
for you.
Joan Wilson, 4-D.
She´s on the board
of the St. Francis
Battered Women´s Shelter.
Headquarters: half a mile
from Kathy´s house.
All right, I´m on it.
The husband´s MIA.
I´ve got Martin baby-sitting
the brother, but...
I just talked to Danny
at the hospital.
Joan Wilson´s
not ready to talk yet
but it had to be the husband
who got to her.
Your instincts were good
about him.
Here´s what I can´t figure out.
He´s been abusing her for years,
and she decides
to run now, when she´s
8 1/2 months pregnant?
Doesn´t make sense.
Two weeks before D day.
Maybe she dug up
the courage.
Okay, then who´s the guy
in the overcoat?
Is that Joan Wilson´s
rundown?
Yeah.
Does it say how
tall she is?
Uh...
Five-foot-seven.
That would fit
the security video.
It certainly would.
Here´s something weird.
Joan Wilson, fourth grade
teacher in Brooklyn
hold the title
on a TV repair shop
in Forest Hills.
She picked it up
at a foreclosure
two years ago.
TV repair shop?
That´s an odd sideline
for a school teacher.
Mrs. Wilson, hi.
I´m Danny Taylor.
I´m with the FBI.
Would you mind if I ask
you a couple questions?
I don´t remember anything.
So you don´t know
who did this to you?
No.
Someone knocked on my door,
I answered it...
That´s the last thing
I remember.
Was it this man?
I don´t know.
I´m sorry.
No, that´s okay.
Look, whoever
did this to you
did they ask any questions?
Specifically
about a woman?
No.
Ever seen her before?
No.
Wh-Who is she?
Can I help you?
MALONE:
FBI.
Would you mind
if I checked
your back room?
What´s the problem?
Just looking for something.
I´m not saying
a word to you.
I want a lawyer.
Now.
Take a seat here.
Please.
Please don´t
take us back
to my husband.
You have no idea
what he does to us.
I understand.
I really do.
And I will help you...
but I need you
to help me first.
Have you seen this woman?
I know you´ve seen her.
You saw how
pregnant she is.
She has a condition
that´s life-threatening
to both her
and the baby, and she
doesn´t even know it.
I need to find her.
She was here last night.
( door opening )
Just come in
and sit down.
I´m sorry about this
but we had an emergency
situation, okay?
Everything´s going
to be all right.
Sit tight.
I´ll be back
in a few minutes.
Okay.
( ringing )
My husband.
He pages me
every three minutes.
Why don´t you turn it off?
I don´t know.
You´re here.
You started the ball rolling,
right?
I was... I was supposed
to wait until after.
Then he did something?
He´d been good
the past couple months, but...
( sighs )
You did the right thing.
For both of you.
I hope so.
She was only here
for a couple of hours.
They rushed through
giving her new paperwork
and then she was gone again.
Do you have any idea
where she is?
No.
With me, everything´s
been so well organized.
But...
I don´t think
they were ready for her.
( phone ringing )
Taylor.
Mm-hmm.
Mm. Mm-hmm.
Who were you calling,
Ms. Wilson?
My sister, if that´s all right.
We know you´re part
of an underground railroad
that helps abused women.
What are you talking about?
You were arranging for Kathy
Dobson to leave her husband.
She called you
from the hospital that day.
You picked her up.
We found the other woman
and her son at your TV shop.
Fake passports, wigs.
Hmm?
You guys are good.
We need to find her,
Ms. Wilson.
Kathy´s in danger.
Look what he did to me.
If I didn´t tell him
where she was
do you really think
I´m going to tell you?
How many of these
underground railroads
are there?
We don´t know.
Maybe 15, 20
in the country.
Ah. So, these guys
forge passports
they help mothers
kidnap their children
away from their fathers--
they break about a dozen
different federal laws.
Why don´t we bust
these people?
Well, I remember a couple
of agents got close
a few years back
down in Texas.
But when it came time
to putting the squeeze on
no one would talk.
Let me tell you--
these women in the underground
make the CIA boys
look like a gossip convention.
( phone ringing )
Yeah.
Hey.
Mm-hmm.
Wow.
All right,
I owe you one, man.
Thanks.
Viv...
Dr. Feldman--
Kathy´s second gynecologist--
his daughter Tracy was killed
five years ago.
Stabbed to death by her husband.
I´m going to talk
to the doctor again.
You´re in big trouble,
Dr. Feldman.
I know you think
what you´re doing
is heroic, and on
some level, it may be.
But your overzealousness
may cost Kathy
and her baby their lives.
How´s that?
We know from her other doctor
that she´s preeclamptic.
I know you think
you´re doing the right thing
by protecting
your partners
but the secrecy of your network
has already been violated.
Now, if Kathy´s husband
finds her
before we do
I don´t think you´d want that
over your head.
Look, I can´t tell you
where she is.
I can´t do it!
Dr. Feldman, I know
about your daughter Tracy.
I understand
why you do this.
But I don´t want to have
to send you to prison.
All right, look.
What if I was to tell you
we´re not interested
in breaking up your network?
All we want to do
is find Kathy Dobson
and bring her to safety.
All right.
I don´t know where
she is exactly.
See, there´s
a system.
So, only two
or three people
know where a runner is
at any time.
I know that she´s
in Staten Island
a-and that´s all.
You got to give me
more than that.
All right, I have
one contact in
Staten Island.
Someone I´ve
worked with before
but it´s just
a phone number.
I don´t know if
Kathy´s there or not.
All right, look, you´ve
got to call over there.
You tell them that you
have another runner.
She´s in Staten Island
and it´s urgent.
And she needs to get
to that safe house.
I´m not sure I can do that.
Yeah, well,
you´re going to have to.
Make the call.
All right, look
I´m going to put
four agents in two cars
surveilling the house.
If anything goes down...
No surveillance.
Come on, Viv.
I´m going in there
out of the blue as it is.
They get a sense
that there´s anyone around
besides me,
I´m not getting in there.
Jack, they´re not violent.
There people
have broken
at least a dozen federal laws.
If you get made, you become
a big obstacle to them.
We´re not going in there
to bring them down, right?
We´re just going in there
to find the woman.
Like I said, they´ve broken
at least a dozen federal laws.
No surveillance.
Two hours.
That´s all the time you got.
After that, we´re
banging down the door.
All right.
I´ve been married
for six years.
At first it was great
but then two years
into the marriage...
My husband lost his job,
and he started drinking
and then he started hitting me.
It´s been the same
ever since.
I reported him to the police,
but they did nothing.
Why now?
A couple of months ago,
I was pregnant
and he pushed me,
and I lost the baby.
And that´s when
I decided
I-I wouldn´t take anymore.
( sighs )
I just didn´t know how
to get away.
Every time I talked
about leaving
he said he´d kill me first.
You´re doing the right thing.
We can help you
start a new life.
That´s what I want.
Now, here are our rules:
you cannot tell anyone, ever
about anyone
in the network.
Not our names
not our addresses,
not what we do for a living.
´Cause even if you decide
to go home
there are other women
that depend upon the
secrecy of this system.
And assuming... that you have
the good sense not to go home
you cannot call anyone.
Not parents, siblings,
friends, no one.
Not ever.
I understand.
Oh, it´s easy for
you to say that now
but you´re going
to start feeling badly
about not saying good-bye.
You´re going to want
to call someone.
Maybe even
your husband.
Under no circumstances
can you do that.
Under no circumstances.
I-I wouldn´t do that.
Okay, let´s start arranging
to get you
some identification, huh?
Give me all
your old IDs--
driver´s license,
credit cards.
I-I didn´t bring
any of that stuff.
I thought that was
the whole point.
Well...
...good thinking.
Fitzgerald here.
NYPD just called.
Kathy Dobson´s mother
was just seen
going up to her
apartment complex
with a suitcase.
Thanks.
What are you doing
here, Mrs. Posey?
Kathy called you, didn´t she?
( sobbing )
Who are you?
What are you doing?
You´re not scared,
and you´re way too curious.
Now, who the hell are you?
WOMAN:
Look, you don´t tell me
what you´re
doing here right now
you´re going to make me
use this.
Okay. My name is
Vivian Johnson.
I´m a Federal Agent
and I´m looking for a woman
by the name of Kathy Dobson.
Give me a break.
You´re a P.I.
Somebody´s husband sent you.
I want to know who.
She has a medical condition
and if she does not go
to the hospital immediately
she may die.
You are so full of crap.
Look...
we can sit here all night
but you will tell me who you are
and what you´re doing here.
I have a number.
It is the New York office
of the FBI.
Now, if you don´t want
to get yourself
into a world of trouble
you´ll call it
and confirm my story.
Give me the number.
I don´t how
it could ever come to this.
My sweet baby...
MARTIN:
Tell us about
the phone call.
It was a couple of hours ago.
I was home with Michael;
he was in the other room
and the phone rang.
( phone rings )
Hello?
Mom?
Kathy! Where are you?
I-I can´t say.
I just wanted to let you know
I´m okay.
What are you talking about?
We´re worried sick.
I wanted to say good-bye.
I´m leaving.
Leaving?
Where are you going?
I-I have to go away.
But why? What´s happened?
It´s Paul, Mom.
You know why.
There are people,
they can help me
get set up again--
start a new life.
I may not see you again.
Not for a long time.
Maybe not ever.
But...
It´s okay. Don´t worry.
It´s going to be better for me.
Different.
Do you have money? Clothes?
Please, let me
bring you something.
Mom, I...
I can´t.
Just tell me where you are.
I´ll wait outside.
You can come out.
I just want to see you.
She told me to meet her at 7:00.
She´s waiting for me right now.
You knew he was hitting
her, didn´t you?
No... I didn´t.
Then why would you let her go
so easily?
You knew Paul was hitting her,
didn´t you?
( crying )
Where is she, Mrs. Posey?
I don´t know.
He took the address.
Who?
My husband.
I had it on
a piece of paper
I... He wanted
to come with me.
I was just going to go
to Kathy´s apartment
to get a few things...
and then we were
going to go together.
What´s so special
about Kathy Dobson?
I told you;
she´s sick.
We got doctors
that can treat her.
You don´t understand.
She´s preeclamptic.
She´s a time bomb
waiting to go off.
Look, even if you are
telling the truth
and we do take her
to a real hospital
she´ll be exposed.
We can protect her.
Look, Diane,
in about ten minutes
five FBI agents
are going to come barreling
through that door.
You will be arrested and
your network with be destroyed.
We are a lot stronger
than any one person.
And in the grand scheme of
things, I´m very expendable.
Well, as far as I can see
other than these,
you haven´t broken any laws.
But if Kathy Dobson dies
you´re going to be tried
for murder
in a very public trial.
Think about what that´s going
to do to your network.
JACK:
So, your wife
gave you the address.
This is between
a husband and a wife.
This is none of your concern.
A husband and a wife?
You gave Paul the address.
You called him
and you gave him the address.
She´s his wife.
He hits her.
That´s a bunch of crap.
He dotes on her.
I know that you think
that you´re doing
your daughter some good
but Paul is not even remotely
a good guy.
He smacks
your daughter around.
We would have seen it.
I don´t think so.
She´s very good at hiding it.
How could she?
I don´t know.
How did your wife hide it
all these years?
What are you talking about?
Look, I´d like to appeal
to your more sensitive nature
tell you that your daughter´s
in trouble
but that doesn´t seem
to faze you.
So, why don´t we try this:
If you make me wait one more
minute for that address
I´m going to have you
sent to jail
and locked up for impeding
a federal investigation.
Do you understand that,
Mr. Posey?
You got people
around the house?
You call them off.
I don´t. I came alone.
I thought you said they were
bursting in here any minute.
They know where I am.
The house is not
under surveillance though.
Look, if arresting you
was our main objective
we would have done that already.
I came here alone
and you´re just going to have
to trust me on that.
I know you´re not going
to give us anything
but you got to do
one thing for me.
When we nail Paul Dobson
you got to testify
what he did to you.
He goes to jail,
and Kathy goes free...
legally.
Step up.
Kathy...
everything´s going
to be all right.
Kathy, my name is
Vivian Johnson,
I´m with the FBI.
How are you feeling?
I´m okay.
Now, we´re going to have
to get you to the hospital.
No, no, I´ll be okay.
Look, you´re going to have
to get these off of me.
Look, we got doctors...
They´re in there!
Oh, my God, that´s Paul.
Kathy, get back.
Where´s my wife?!
( glass breaking )
All right,
put the gun down!
Drop the gun!
Back off!
Back... off!
Where´s my wife?
Put the gun down.
Mr. Dobson, I´m a Federal Agent
don´t do anything stupid.
I don´t care
who the hell you are.
Kat...
You can come out.
She´s not going with you.
Shut up!
Kathy... I´m sorry.
I´m sorry for whatever I´d done.
Kat...
I love you.
Please...
You don´t have to do that,
Kathy.
Shut up!
Shut your mouth!
Shut up!
Kat...
I love you.
Come with me.
Paul, I can´t.
You need help.
I need help?
You come with me now.
( car tires squeal )
( grunts and groans )
Stay down!
Put the cuffs on him.
You can´t do this to me.
I just want my family back.
Kathy, please!
JACK:
Get him out of here.
Kathy!
I just want
my family back. Kathy!
I don´t feel so well.
Let´s get you
out of here.
It´s going to be okay.
You all right?
Yeah.
Who´s this?
She´s with
Stanton Island P.D.
Lucky you were here.
