Without a Trace (2002–2009): Season 2, Episode 12 - Hawks and Handsaws - full transcript

A young criminal defense lawyer working for legal aid goes missing, last seen in the middle of the night apparently running from people shooting after him. A quick bit of research and it is discovered he has recently been diagnose...

No.

Hey!

This is why I should have
transferred to LA. I hate the cold.

Bundle up. The paper says
it's going to be like this all week.

Great. Rub salt into my wound.

All right. Now for people
with real problems.

Joe Gibson, 26. Defense attorney.
Works for legal aid.

His boss reported him missing...

when he didn't show up
for court this morning.

Maybe he didn't show up
because it was too cold.

Single. Parents are deceased.
Sister lives in Poughkeepsie.



- Vivian's trying to get a hold of her now.
- He works for legal aid, right?

Means he defends a lot of bad guys.

Maybe he lost a case for the wrong client.

- How do we know he was here?
- NYPD found his car around the corner.

What's our young lawyer
doing in a place like this?

He was running for his life.

- You see who was chasing him?
- No.

They must have run
when they heard me yell.

- And what time was this?
- 1:00, 1:30.

We've had some incidents.
Break-ins, such.

They got somebody working the lot 24-7.

And you're absolutely sure
it was this guy?

Yes, I definitely saw his face.
He looked like he'd seen a ghost.

- All right. Thanks.
- Okay. I'll get back to you.



NYPD found shell casings
in that alley over there...

and they found
these bad boys in an old mattress.

These are.380s.
No wonder he was running for his life.

Mr. Gibson's gotten
interested in security recently.

He told he wouldn't pay this month's rent
unless I put another deadbolt in.

It takes 20 minutes to open the door now.

- Any idea what he was concerned about?
- He said something about...

not wanting documents
to fall in the wrong hands.

When did this sudden interest
in security begin?

Three weeks ago.

I guess all the locks on the doors
weren't enough for him.

I found this under the bed.

I hate to tell you,
half the people this city...

sleep with one of those under the bed.

Did you find anything
that looked like an important document?

Nope.

What's the deal with this duct tape?

That's probably for the... Keep out fumes.

We've got kind of a cockroach problem...

and the exterminator's
been fumigating all week.

All these postal slips
are for the same item.

- Did you ever pick up the package?
- No.

I don't accept them
unless the tenant specifically asks.

Do you remember anything
out of the ordinary?

Any visitors, arguments,
anything like that?

Yeah.

Night before last.

He was arguing
with somebody on the phone.

I mean, this was really early,
like 2:00, 3:00 in the morning.

Was shouting so loud,
a couple of the neighbors complained.

I don't know, okay? I don't know.

Why don't you people just leave me alone?

I don't have anything to say today.

No, I don't want to talk to Mr. Peterson...

because I don't have anything
to say to him, okay?

I don't know how you people found me.
That was not supposed to happen.

I don't know.
Tell Mr. Peterson that I don't know.

After that, I just left. I didn't even knock.

- Why make things worse for the guy?
- You know anything about this Peterson?

- Sorry.
- Well, thanks for your help.

- Just let me know when you leave.
- Sure.

So I guess we got to find this Peterson.

Peterson. No. Never heard of him.

Ms. Holtzman, can you tell us
anything about Joe Gibson?

He's great. Graduated law school
top of his class...

never stops working,
calls me all hours of the night about cases.

Does he have any enemies?

We're criminal defense attorneys.
Enemies come with the territory.

Anyone in particular?

There was a case a few weeks ago.
He talked to me about it.

It was giving him some trouble.

Joe.

- Nancy. Hi.
- It's midnight. Go home.

Yeah, I'm just going
to finish up this appendix.

When does it have to be filed?

- Next week.
- Next week? Get out of here.

Nancy?

Have you ever
had to recuse yourself from a case?

A couple times, yeah.

Why? What's up?

I think I got a really bad guy here.

You ever have a good guy?

Yeah, I know. Innocent until proven.

- Everybody gets their day in court.
- Yep.

- Well, until John Ashcroft says otherwise.
- This guy just makes me nervous.

Are you saying that
you can't represent this client?

No. I'm not saying that.

Then do your job. Tomorrow.

Tonight, go home and get some sleep.
You look like crap.

Did you ever find out
what case he was talking about?

No.

We're going to have to
take a look at all the cases...

that Joe worked on
in the last few months.

You got a subpoena?

Right here.

Yes, I know that the post office is busy.
Did I mention that I'm with the FBI?

FBI, Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Yes.

Okay, so can you tell me
which station it's at?

Yes, that would be great.
Thank you very much.

Don't even tell me that's the box
I've been looking for from the post office.

Sorry, I can't help you there.
Do you remember...

when the building manager said that
Gibson was having a fight over the phone?

I spoke to the phone company.

Gibson had his phone
disconnected two weeks ago.

Probably a cell phone.

No, he had that disconnected
the same day.

Must have been somebody
in his apartment with him that night.

But the manager said
he only heard one voice.

Yeah, I know. It's weird.

What about the late-night phone calls
he supposedly made to his boss?

These are the records
of all the pay phones in his neighborhood.

This is a list of the people
that Gibson was most likely to call.

We're gonna have to cross-reference
and find out which phone he was using.

We?

We've gone through all Gibson's cases
for the last year. There's no Peterson.

What about friends and family?

- There's no one.
- It's like he doesn't exist.

I've been going over this report from
the firearms lab. They ran the bullet.

The striations match a gun used
in a shooting in the Bronx last year.

- Who was the shooter?
- Paul Newman.

- As in Cool Hand Luke?
- No, I don't think so.

Gibson represented a guy
by the name of Paul Newman last year.

He shot somebody,
and he got off on self-defense.

Yeah, Mr. Gibson was my lawyer.
So what?

So what? Somebody used your gun
to shoot at him last night.

- Where were you at 1:00 a.m.?
- At home, in bed.

- I bet you were alone.
- No, your mom was there.

If that gun went off,
it wasn't me who shot it.

I'm gonna tell you something.

If your gun is used in a crime,
I will personally make sure...

that you are charged as a co-conspirator.

Translation: Your gun, your problem.

Okay, look. He called, all right?

I'm not a mind-reader. When?

Last night, around midnight.
He said he needed my help.

I told him to come by my apartment.

- Paul, I need it for protection, all right?
- What protection? Someone hassling you?

He knows where I live.
He came to my house this morning...

but I wouldn't talk to him, but he knows.

- Who're we talking about?
- Peterson knows where I live.

Who the hell is Peterson?

Paul, I wouldn't ask you this
if it wasn't important, right?

All right. But you got to promise me
you're going to be careful.

- I promise.
- I mean, you're my lawyer.

I might need you again.

I gave him the gun and then he took off.

If anyone knows where Mr. Gibson's at,
it's that cat, Peterson.

Yes, we're aware of Mr. Peterson.

You know, Jack...

this whole time, we've been assuming
that he was being shot at.

What if he was the one
doing the shooting?

It's possible.

This is the part they don't tell you about
in the recruitment video.

I didn't think people even used
payphones anymore.

Wait a sec. I got something.

Legal aid. Legal aid.

This is the phone he used.

It's the one around the corner
from the apartment building.

- Great. Let's see who else he called.
- All right.

- ATM photos.
- From all over the city.

Okay.

This one is from 65th and Lex.

This one is from 23rd and 8th.

And this one is from
down on Houston and Sixth Avenue.

They were all taken
the day before he disappeared.

It seems to me as though
he's working his way downtown...

each time taking out $20.

Okay, am I the only one
that finds this strange?

Have Sam and Martin done an index on
the phone calls made from that payphone?

They're working on it.

Danny, would you check with them
and see if any calls were made to doctors?

- Nice work.
- Thanks.

- There's a Dr. Lawrence Brody.
- What's his specialty?

- Dermatology.
- Who else?

Irene Goldenberg, internal medicine...

Daniel Eisenman, psychiatry...

When was the call
to the psychiatrist made?

10 days ago.

Please, take a seat, right there.

I wanted to talk to you about
a patient of yours. Joe Gibson.

Joe Gibson?

I actually only saw him once
in consultation.

- Something happen to him?
- He's been missing for almost 20 hours.

And from what
we've been able to determine...

over the last three weeks,
he's become increasingly paranoid.

Putting extra locks on doors,
taping up windows.

He hears voices.

Has conversations
with nonexistent people.

I also think he believes...

that these nonexistent people
are following him and trying to kill him...

to the degree that he has obtained a gun.

Now, I know that he's fired the gun.

But I believe he was shooting at no one.

I need to know
what your diagnosis of him was.

I'm sorry, Agent Malone.
You know I cannot give you a diagnosis.

There's a man out there with a gun who's
dangerous to himself and everybody else.

I need to find him,
and in order to do that...

I need all the information
I can possibly get.

The kind of person that you're describing...

is schizophrenic.

He's a paranoid schizophrenic.

Just because we're dealing
with a schizophrenic...

doesn't mean we're dealing
with a random, haphazard set of events.

Delusions, which are one
of the hallmarks of this disease...

are defined as fixed false beliefs.
They're organized in a systematic fashion.

We thought that psych degree
on your wall...

was one of those mail-in jobs.

No, that would be my bowling award.
My point is this:

I believe that there is a unifying theory
to Joe Gibson's delusions.

I also believe that he is using real events...

and incorporating them
into his delusions. For example...

he believes that he is being persecuted
by somebody named Peterson.

Now, I checked
with the building supervisor.

Last week, an exterminating company
came in to fumigate.

The name of the company
was Peter & Sons.

He combined the names
to create Peterson.

He already believes
that somebody is out to get him.

Seeing the exterminator
just enforces the delusion.

Okay, so he's delusional
and paranoid and he's got a gun.

That is not a great combo.

And we have no idea where he'd go
or what he's trying to do.

No, like I said, to him, there is a logic.

What we have to do
is figure out what that logic is.

Then I think we stand
a chance of finding him.

Finally.

We found his sister listed
under her married name.

She's on her way in and hopefully
she can lend us some insight.

Okay, this is weird.
Joe Gibson sent this to himself.

He just never picked it up.

What is all this stuff? It's like lists,
numbers, initials, doesn't make sense.

Maybe it's some kind of code.

"Make sure D.S. Knows about D.P.A."

D.S.?

Yep. Here we go.

"Ask D.S. About 95."

First we have to see
if there is a D.S. In his life.

How about an Alice?

Did you know that your brother was ill?

I thought it was a possibility. Yes.

That's why I came to see him
a couple of weeks ago.

Make sure he was okay.

And was he?

No. He was scared.

- Paranoid?
- No.

Scared of what was happening to him.

- Something going on with your windows?
- It's a bug thing.

I keep meaning to call
the exterminator about that.

Yeah?

Yeah. I'll get around to that.

Joe, you okay?

- Yeah, I'm fine.
- You didn't sound so good on the phone.

- I got a lot on my mind.
- Like what?

A lot of things.

I've actually been thinking
a lot about Dad lately.

What about him?

I was thinking about when he got sick.

- I don't really remember that much.
- I'm not sure you want to remember.

Actually, I do.

Was he hearing things?

Was he hearing voices?

Yeah, he did.

- Is that starting to happen to you, Joe?
- No.

I don't know.

Joe. It's me.

I'm scared, Kate.

You're going to be okay.
We're going to figure this out.

When he mentioned the voices...

I knew.

Joe's 26.
So was my father when it started.

- So your father has schizophrenia.
- He did. He killed himself.

The next day, I took him
to see a psychiatrist for consultation.

We made another appointment
for the next week.

I should've stayed and made sure he went.

Excuse me, Mrs. Manning.
Special Agent Jack Malone.

I'd like to ask you
a couple of questions about your brother.

Did he ever mention anyone named Alice?

- No, I'm sorry.
- Do you recognize the girl in this sketch?

- No.
- I'm sorry to do this to you.

He made several references
to a D.S. In his datebook.

Do you have any idea
who he's referring to?

Yeah, there was someone
Joe talked about a lot.

An investigator from his office.
I think they were working together.

His name is Dave...

Santori, Santini, San-something, I think.

Okay. Thank you.
I'm going to look into that.

Alice? FBI.

What do you want?

We want to talk to you
about your lawyer, Joe Gibson.

Never heard of him.

Didn't he represent you
on your soliciting charge?

- Do you get that hair color out of a bottle?
- Alice.

I'm freezing my ass off here.
When was the last time you saw him?

I could be making
a lot of money right now...

instead of wasting my time talking
to Goldilocks and a skinny-ass bear.

How much?

- $50.
- I'll give you $20.

I saw him the day before yesterday.

He came by acting all strung-out,
like he was on drugs or something.

- Stop it, what are you doing?
- I'm getting you out of here.

- He's going to kill you! Come on!
- Crazy!

Alice, please come with me.
I'll take you home to your mom and dad.

- You'll be safe there.
- Get off me!

- What the hell are you doing?
- I'm saving her.

You're saving her?
Go on, Alice, get out of here.

Freak.

I walked away.
I didn't see what happened next.

Is your business manager
the kind of guy who might get upset...

if someone tried to mess
with his investment?

- Nobody's ever tried.
- Where do we find him?

- But you can't tell him I sent you.
- We won't.

His name is Jimmy.

He hangs out
on 123rd Street, Seventh Avenue.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

So what's going on?
Joe's got himself in some kind of trouble?

He's been missing
for two days, Mr. Santorum.

Jeez, I didn't know.
Well, what do you need?

We've been going through
his personal effects...

and we found a number of documents
referring to a D.S.

Just wondering if you
might be that person.

- Sure. I investigated a few cases for him.
- Any in the last few months?

No. But he did come to me
about a month ago.

He was all wound up about it.
Said we had to meet in my car.

I got a bad feeling about this guy.
Something's not right about him.

Something's not right about
everybody you defend.

Yeah. This one's different.

Should've seen him talking to the police.
He wasn't nervous at all.

He's done this before, Dave.
With other girls and gotten away with it.

I'm sorry, Joe. I can't do it.
I'm swamped right now.

It's not going to take you long.

All information's here,
where he lived, worked.

Maybe if you dig around,
you'll find something.

Look it. Even if I did have the time...

you're talking about investigating
one of your own clients.

I don't got a degree, counselor,
but isn't that a no-no with you guys?

- You know what, Dave? Just forget it.
- Hey, Joe.

No. Thanks for nothing.
I never figured you for a coward, Dave.

- Anyway, that was it.
- What was the client's name?

I don't know. I didn't want to know.

Holtzman finds out I'm investigating
a client, I lose my job.

So you only met with Gibson once
about this?

Yeah. Why?

Because we found a number of pages
torn out of a datebook...

that referred to D.S.

He'd met him several times
in the last few weeks.

Maybe you got the wrong D.S.

I told you, man,
I didn't do anything to him!

What've you got?

- Joe Gibson's wallet.
- He gave that to me.

So Joe Gibson just gave you his wallet?

- Come on, you can do better than that.
- It was two days ago.

He was hassling one of my girls.

Get off me!

- What the hell are you doing?
- I'm saving her.

You're saving her?
Go on, Alice, get out of here.

Freak.

I need to protect her.
I need to take her home.

I ain't gonna let you do that.
Alice and I are partners.

We make a lot of money.

Money?

Is that what you want? Money?
Fine. Here. Take it, take it all.

Just let me have Alice.

Tell you what.
I'm going to take your money.

I'm going to keep Alice just for tonight.
Then you can have her.

Okay.

Wait.

He took something out.
It was a little picture or something.

He handed it back to me.
I'm telling you, that was it.

That's a lovely story. Let's go.

When Gibson was talking
to you about getting off a case...

he never mentioned anything
about a guy who took girls...

- hurt girls. I mean...
- Joe has over 100 cases.

- I wouldn't know many of the specifics.
- You don't remember anything?

- Nothing about a rapist, a pedophile?
- You have the case files.

- You'd know as well as I would.
- Mrs. Holtzman, we're on the same side.

I guess I'm not used to having
the government going through...

- our confidential files.
- I guess you didn't get the memo.

Under the Patriot Act,
there's no such thing as a confidential file.

- What do you need?
- You know what I need.

Excuse me.

Hello?

What? When?

Oh, my God.
I'll be right there. That was my nanny.

She was bringing my 5-year-old
daughter Sophie home from the movies...

near our house and Joe was there.
He took her!

He came up and grabbed her and took off.
What the hell is going on?

Mentally ill, like... How mentally ill?

We think Joe may be having
a schizophrenic episode.

- Is he dangerous?
- We don't know.

How well does he know your daughter?

They met a couple times at the office.

She hangs out there
sometimes after school.

Mrs. Holtzman, did you ever notice
anything odd about their interactions?

No, I didn't.

Oh, my God.

- Alice.
- What?

He called her Alice.

Binderman's going to ding you
either way...

so make sure
you preserve it all for appeal.

And where has
my wandering daughter gone?

Are you getting some tips
for opening arguments?

She's got some great ideas.

Come on, honey, we got to go.
Nana's going to be here soon.

- Say goodbye to Joe.
- Bye, Joe.

- Bye, Alice.
- My name's not Alice. It's Sophie.

I knew that.

Okay.

What does that mean exactly,
do you think, the Alice stuff?

We're not sure. But we're going to do
everything we can to find her.

Okay?

How are you feeling about
your unifying principles now?

I take it back.

- It's all a random mess.
- Let's look on the bright side.

He may not be dangerous.
Most schizophrenics aren't.

Most schizophrenics also aren't
running around in five-degree weather...

- with a 5-year-old and a gun.
- Listen.

An hour before
Sophie Holtzman was taken...

a woman shopping in a mall in Roslyn...

was car-jacked by a man
who looks like this.

This is definitely Gibson.

Gibson took the girl
on the Upper East Side.

What's he doing getting a car
in Long Island?

Okay, I went into his cases
looking for any connections.

Turns out a month ago, Joe Gibson
represented a man named Fred Watkins...

who was accused of trying
to kidnap a 6-year-old girl...

from the same mall
that Joe just stole that car from.

What'd you say this guy's name was?
Fred Wallace?

Watkins.

There's a reference
to an F.W. In his datebook.

All right, here it is.

He had a meeting with F. W...

at a bar in Soho three days
before he disappeared.

Didn't that investigator,
Dave Santorum, say that...

Gibson was trying to stop
some guy who was hurting girls?

- Maybe that guy is Fred Watkins.
- Watkins was exonerated.

The cops didn't read him his rights...

so the judge threw out
the case on a technicality.

The whole thing was nuts.

I see this little kid,
she's wandering in the parking lot...

crying her eyes out.

Can't find her mommy, she says.
So I'm taking her back inside the mall.

Suddenly five rent-a-cops are all over me.

Tough being a Good Samaritan
these days, huh?

You said on the phone you wanted
my help finding Joe Gibson.

We understand that you met him
on Monday night at a bar.

We met downtown.

- I got to tell you, he wasn't doing so good.
- How's that?

He was off, going on about...

being followed, people trying to kill him.
Crazy stuff.

Did he mention anything
about a girl by the name of Alice?

Not that I remember.

According to the bartender,
he talked about Alice extensively.

- So which is it?
- I never heard that name.

Let me tell you something, Mr. Watkins.

I've got a very sick man out there,
with a little girl in freezing cold.

If you're lying to me
and anything happens...

I will hold you personally responsible.
And trust me...

I'm not going to forget
to read you your rights.

Yeah?

Hey, boss, I've got something
you might want to hear.

What's up?

Two years ago, Watkins rented
an apartment in Drexel...

outside of Philly.
At the time he was there...

a 5-year-old girl named Alice Heller
disappeared from her backyard...

which was eight blocks from
his apartment and the case is still open.

Maybe Gibson figured out
that Watkins took the Heller girl.

It might be the Alice
he keeps talking about.

Here's a picture of her.

She looks a lot like Sophie Holtzman.
Similar coloring, same hair.

So maybe he confused the two girls.

Where would you take a little girl
if you wanted to save her?

Home to her parents.

Thank you.

Mrs. Heller, I know this is difficult...

but I need to show you
a picture of someone...

who we believe may have been involved...

in your daughter's disappearance.
That okay?

Okay.

I know him.

We were working on the house...

- doing the kitchen and a few bathrooms.
- When was this?

About a month before Alice was taken.

The contractor used to work
with different crews sometimes.

I'm pretty sure, though,
that the police talked to him.

Who is he? You think he has her?

- This man's name is Fred Watkins.
- Wait. That's Fred Watkins?

- You've heard his name before?
- Yeah.

The private investigator who called a few
days ago asked if I knew Fred Watkins.

What was this
private investigator's name?

David. I have it.

- Santorum?
- Yes. Santorum.

- Do you mind if I use your phone?
- Yeah.

Thank you.

Sam?

I just got off the phone
with Dave Santorum's office.

They thought he was
on vacation, skiing with his kid.

An hour ago, they just got
a phone call from Newark.

He's been hospitalized. Psych ward.

Let's go.

EMTs brought him in. No ID.

He was forthcoming with his name,
but not much else.

He told you his name was Dave Santorum?

Yes.

I hate to break the news to you,
but it's not.

Jack, if he's here, where's Sophie?

My name's Jack, Joe.

And I'd like you to help me.

I'm trying to find...

Sophie. Can you help me with that?

- I don't know any Sophie.
- No?

What about Alice?
You know anyone named Alice?

Dave's the guy you ought to talk to.

I don't know anything. Dave's your guy.

- Dave can help you with that.
- Dave.

- You're talking about Dave Santorum.
- Yeah, Dave. Dave's your guy.

- I don't know anything.
- All right.

Didn't you tell these people
that you were Dave?

I don't know.

- You don't remember that?
- I don't know.

Dave. You have to talk to Dave.
Dave knows where she is.

Look, Joe.

I really need to find Alice,
and I really need your help to do it.

Just tell me where she is.

Agent Malone...

I'm sorry, are you going to be
much longer? He really needs to rest.

Just give me two minutes.

Agent Malone?

Why did she call you Agent Malone?

- It doesn't matter.
- Where are you from?

- Do you work for the government?
- It doesn't matter.

- Why did she call you that?
- It doesn't matter, Joe.

All I want to do...

- is help Alice.
- Sure you do.

- Get anything from the cops?
- Yeah.

State police picked him up
wandering through traffic...

on the New Jersey turnpike with this.

It's a child's sweater.
We don't know yet if it's Sophie's.

The nanny didn't mention anything about
a blue sweater. We're checking on it now.

We also found this.

Now, that pimp mentioned that
he pulled a picture out of his wallet.

I'm thinking this is it and maybe
that's where he's headed with Sophie.

- Come on.
- All right.

He had this with him?

I was just wondering
if it was significant in any way.

It's New Hampshire. The White Mountains.

We had a cabin up there
when we were kids.

Is it possible that Joe
was headed up there...

especially if he had
fond memories of the place.

He doesn't. Not anymore.

- This is where our father killed himself.
- I'm sorry.

Would you mind telling me
what happened?

He shot himself.

We scattered his ashes in the lake.
It was in his will.

- Place must've meant a lot to him.
- Yeah. It did.

It meant a lot to all of us.

I don't know. My family
moved around so much.

The lake was the only place
that really felt like home.

All right.

Feels right that he's there.

I just got off the phone
with the real Dave Santorum.

He's skiing with his family.
Doesn't know anything about this.

I just got off the phone
with the New Jersey state police.

They found the car Gibson stole
on the highway near Newark.

Apparently, he ran out of gas.

Jersey turnpike runs
straight through Drexel.

- Alice Heller's hometown.
- So he was taking Sophie to Alice's home.

But Martin's been waiting there.
Obviously Joe never showed up.

When they found the car,
it was in northbound lane.

He was headed back to New York, Viv.

- What went wrong?
- And where did he leave Sophie?

The temperature's going
to drop below zero tonight.

I know.

You found her, didn't you?

You can tell me if you found her.

You know I can't tell you that.

- You can tell me if you found her.
- No.

They'll kill you, remember?

That's why we did it this way,
to protect you. Remember?

I know.

She's safe now, isn't she?

Joe, isn't she safe?

I don't know. Where is she?

I don't know.

How's he doing?

- I think I'm starting to understand.
- What?

How Dave Santorum
is connected to all this.

I think that Gibson
suspected Watkins of killing Alice Heller...

and he went to Dave Santorum
for help to find the body.

Santorum said no,
but I think the rejection from Santorum...

sent Gibson even further into his paranoia,
to the point where he felt...

he was in danger,
because of what he knew about Watkins.

So to protect himself,
he used Dave Santorum...

to continue the investigation.

So all those meetings with D. S...

that was just Joe trying
to crack the case on his own?

- Yeah, it's possible.
- Hey, guys.

I just got off the phone with Martin.
The sweater is not Sophie's.

The sweater is Alice Heller's.

Alice was wearing a blue zip-up
sweater the day she disappeared.

- How did Gibson get it?
- There's only one way.

- Gibson must have found Alice's body.
- He did crack the case.

Either way, this doesn't help us
find Sophie Holtzman.

Not necessarily.

Gibson's father killed himself
in the only place that he considered home.

Home and death. It's possible that
Gibson associates the two.

Maybe Gibson was taking
Sophie to Alice's home...

but took her to where
Alice was killed instead.

So what you're saying
is if we find Alice Heller's body...

- we find Sophie Holtzman.
- That's great...

but Joe is never going
to give us that information.

No. But I know one place we can get it.

Sorry to keep you waiting, Mr. Watkins.
You can go.

About time.

You'll be happy to know
that we found Joe Gibson.

You found him? How is he?

You know, he's pretty confused.

We found him way out in Drexel,
Pennsylvania, just wandering around...

carrying a kid's sweater.
It's the strangest thing.

- It's like you said. The guy's crazy.
- Yeah.

Once his medication kicks in,
we'll find out what he was doing up there.

- Yeah. Well, good luck.
- Thanks for coming in.

- Have I mentioned how cold it is?
- No, not in the last six minutes.

He's not coming out of his apartment.
He's never going to take the bait, okay?

- He's been sitting on this for two years.
- Exactly why he'll take the bait.

The only thing that links Watkins
to this crime...

other than the word of a total nut-job
is Alice Heller's body.

Let's go fishing.

He's on the move.

Danny and Samantha have him
on the Jersey turnpike, headed south.

FBI!

Get down!

Get down, put your hands on your head.

- Down!
- Put your hands on your head.

I'm cold.

- Where's Joe?
- It's okay, Sophie.

Joe said he was going to get blankets.

Here you go. Come on, Sophie. Careful.

Yes.

- Thanks.
- Paramedics say she's going to be fine.

The ERT dug underneath the elevator shaft
and found human remains.

Looks like a small child.

Hi.

I don't know if you remember,
I'm Jack Malone.

We spoke earlier.

What happened?

We apprehended Fred Watkins,
largely thanks to you.

What about the girl? What about Alice?

Her name is Sophie.

Right.

Sophie.

She's really fine.

I just wanted to...

thank you.

- Take care of yourself. Thanks.
- Thank you.

It's okay, Joe.

It's okay.
