Kidnapped (2006) s01e08 Episode Script

Gone Fishing

-H i.
-H i.
How are you? Oh.
Not so good.
Knapp has the cell phones bugged.
Can he do that? Does he work for you? No, he works for Leo.
My privacy doesn't matter.
I need to see you.
My scheduIe's pretty fuII.
And pubIic.
Just for a minute? Before l completely lose it.
-I'll make time.
-Thank you.
Don't thank me.
You know how important you are to me.
-l'm busy.
-You get in? -Almost.
-Got everything you need? -As far as know.
-Haven't forgotten anything? lsn't it past your bedtime? Can't sleep.
And yet we both suffer.
Can't get this guy out of my head.
Joseph.
Figured out why he called him Joseph? Still looking into that.
You know when l was little l had an imaginary enemy.
Not an imaginary friend? I called him Archibald.
Archibald Dillinger.
What happened to him? Your imaginary enemy.
He's still around.
You lost a step on this lock-picking.
Strike that.
l can't find the thingamabob.
l put it in your wallet.
ln my wallet? Behind your Amex.
How'd you get in my wallet? Gentleman never asks, a lady never tells.
Speaking of which Mrs.
Cain's special friend called.
Did you get a bead on him? They were only on for a few seconds.
She says you're suspicious.
-Who was getting suspicious? -You.
-That you as in me? -Yeah.
She sounded worried.
-Oh, everybody's worried.
-Who? Mrs.
Cain's worried about me.
King's worried about Virgil.
Why is King worried about Virgil? -'m not sure.
-And what about you? Why would King be worried about me? -Calico Jim.
-Who? Calico Jim.
Guy ran a saloon.
San Francisco, 1 890's.
The saloon was a front.
He'd drug his customers, you know, and sell them off to sea captains.
-Guy gets drunk, wakes up on a ship.
-Pull your weight or walk the plank.
Calico became the focus of a police investigation.
-They sent in six undercover cops.
-They get him? They all disappeared.
All ended up on a ship.
True story.
Why are we talking about Calico Jim? l'm iust thinking back over cases.
You know, trying to find a parallel.
And l can't find one.
The motive in any kidnapping is defined by demands.
These guys don't seem to have any.
ln the end, always comes back to money.
Yeah, we'll see.
So, what happened to Calico Jim? Policeman catches up with him in Chile and shoots him dead in the street.
One bullet for each of those six cops who went missing.
Got something? Nothing to suggest Agent King stole 20 million dollars from the Ramon bust except for the word of some psycho drug dealer.
What do you know about Virgil Hayes? He's King's brother-in-law.
He was Leopold Cain's bodyguard.
He took a bullet on the kidnapping.
Conrad Cain's a billionaire.
He's got a good deal more money than a psycho drug dealer.
Where are we going? The drug money or the kidnapping? Both.
Nostalgia's not what it used to be, huh? -Following me? -l didn't have to.
7:39.
The exact time Leo was taken.
Same light.
Same temperature.
ls that where they got you? Getting anything? Sepsis.
-You got some people worried.
-Yeah, but not you, huh? Not me.
There's some very experienced people out here trying to kill you.
Yeah.
l'm counting on that.
What are you doing? Trying to get to level two.
It's Leo's.
-l know.
Why are you playing it? -Because it's Leo's.
You're distracting me.
-Rog? -Yeah.
Somebody's making a play for Cain Industries.
There's been offshore institutional trading.
l'm tracing it.
-Don't bother.
It's me.
Yeah, it's me.
-lt's you? l'm your lawyer.
Yeah.
Did you bring what l asked? Why do you wanna go to Sullivan's wake? -Pay my respects.
-They think you killed him.
They think the Red Sox couldn't sweep.
Look, going there, we know what it loses you.
Tell me, what does it gain you? l think that Sullivan's death might have something to do with Leo's disappearance.
Maybe somebody knows something.
Go there, you're gonna wind up with a bullet in that computer of yours.
Which brings me back to my question: Do you have what l asked for? Daddy? l think l'm getting cabin fever.
ls that right? Let me have a look.
Oh, yeah, you do seem kind of warm.
-That's not what cabin fever means.
-No? -No.
-All right, well, let's see.
What do you say we talk over a bowl of cereal -and a game of? -Gin rummy? You got it.
Conrad, remember what l said.
-Come on, Dad.
-l'll be in the study making calls if you need me.
Mr.
Knapp.
Trust you know who this is.
l know who this is.
Get in.
-Forty million.
-Listen, we need to talk.
-Forty million dollars.
-Yes, l need to tell you something.
They blew up 40 million dollars? -Forget the money-- -What? They blew up 40 million! -l got to tell you something.
-Think l'm here for the sunshine? You don't understand.
Come here.
Get in here.
Get in here.
You see that? You see that? That was our 40 million dollars! You getting me? He's not important.
There's a problem.
We have a problem here, okay? We have a bigger problem here! -Listen to me.
-What bigger problem? l ran into the sheriff and he was asking me about the doctor.
-Where? -Church.
You were in a church? What you doing in a church? -l was praying.
-You were praying? -ls that a problem? -You're seeking absolution during a crime we're, you're asking me if it's a problem? You want to bring God into this? That's fine.
You bring God into this.
Pay him out of your share, which is over Jersey.
-Who are you calling? -The Popeof course.
-Operator.
-Hey.
-You got 40 million in your house? -Excuse me? -Explain why that happened.
-Why what happened? -The thing with the money.
-What money? -Are you handling me? -No.
-No? -No, l cannot explain to you what happened to the money.
You can't or you won't? Can't.
All right, then.
We have a big problem.
l agree.
lnternal Affairs is turning this place upside down.
Vance isn't iust looking into the Ramon case.
-He's set on the Cain case.
-Want me to buy him a whistle? -Buy your brother-in-law a whistle.
-This isn't about Virgil.
Like it or not, he's a person of interest.
Everybody in on this thing at the ground floor has turned up dead.
Two attempts on Virgil's life, but nobody got to him.
-l'm not going down this road with you.
-Do you want to go down it with Vance? Look, l'm trying to help here.
Let's iust deal with this before he does.
Let me make a call.
-Let me make a call.
-Good.
Where are my things? You need to get that? My things from my locker.
-The FBl took them.
-Why? l don't know.
-You don't look too good.
-What else did they take? -A copy of your file.
-You spoke to them? -l spoke to an Agent Vance, yes.
-Vance? Can l get you some water or something? Vance, what did he ask you? He wanted to know why you requested the post of the Cains.
-Requested? -That's what it says in your file.
He asked about your relationship with Cain's attorney, Prince -the guy who hired you.
-Why was my file altered? The first l saw your file was this morning when the FBl asked for it.
-Where's Hanhart? -Who? Hanhart.
The man who hired me here.
-Charles Hanhart? -Where is he? He's in Fallujah.
Of course it'II hurt, but we're aIready feeIing pain at the pump, heating bills.
That's only economic.
We are facing a worId of physicaI pain.
When every breath you take burns with toxins, when rising tides consume your home.
The press has to give this story the urgency it deserves.
-You follow politics, Mr.
Knapp? -Basketball.
-Senator.
-Senator.
Good afternoon, Mr.
Knapp.
l'm Senator Bill Ross.
l'm the man you think is sleeping with Ellie Cain.
Ellie's concerned you'll find us out.
That's why l tracked you down.
To be honest, she doesn't need tabloid headlines right now.
l'm always suspicious of people who preface statements with ''to be honest.
'' Makes me wonder if everything else is a lie.
Headlines won't help me either.
''Senator and Socialite Shacked Up while Son Suffers.
'' Not great for winning votes, but pretty good alliteration.
Ellie and l aren't lovers, we're friends.
But our conversations, out of context: ''l need you.
l need to see you now.
'' l wouldn't expect someone like you to understand.
-Someone like me? -l did my homework, Mr.
Knapp.
-l know who you are.
-Well, l guess that means you get to sit up front today.
That means l'm in the corner, l know nothing about you.
l have no idea that you're the senator from Oklahoma.
l know nothing about your radical energy bill that you introduced after pissing off a lot of people when you switched parties last month.
l should add that l don't know your middle name is Xavier nor do l know the difference between a mango and a papaya.
-l underestimated you.
-Yes, but why exactly were you estimating me in the first place, senator? Like you, Mr.
Knapp, people are going to imagine what they want.
What would Conrad Cain imagine? l get the impression he doesn't know the extent of your friendship with his wife.
Ellie turns to me sometimes for a shoulder to lean on.
ls there anybody in your life you have absolute trust in? Yeah, but he's dead.
l couldn't survive if l didn't have Ellie.
l feel for you, Knapp, that you don't have that in your life.
My energy bill is the most radical ever put before Congress.
To be honest-- Right.
l'm on the line here.
Ellie's need for the comfort l provide her, especially during this can't get in the way of what l'm doing.
And l hope you'll keep whatever you imagine to yourself.
My private numbers.
All of them.
l'm available to you whenever.
-l never asked the question.
-What's that? Are you having an affair with Ellie Cain? They say it's going to rain today.
l'm speaking at a grange meeting in Binghamton tonight.
Farmers, Knapp.
In the end, what else is there? l like speaking in the rain.
Rain is the great equalizer.
You know why? -When it rains, everybody gets wet.
-That's right.
Thank you for your time, Mr.
Knapp.
Can l offer you a ride? Think l'll walk.
-What do you think? -l like him.
Keep an eye on him.
l don't want this getting away from us.
-They're murder suspects.
-Who? -Some local doctor.
-Doctor? -The boy needed medical attention.
-And they're suspects? -Not exactly, but-- -Define '' not exactly.
'' A sheriff asked one of them some questions.
-The Caucasian or the Hispanic? -The Mexican.
Tell them to stay put.
Turner? -Tu rner! -What is it? This.
It's got e-mails.
-The FBl dumped the hard drive.
-Yeah, on the computer but this is his game.
It's got e-mails.
Open it.
-l can't.
-What? You're a computer-- -Geek? -No, person.
Please.
l need to know who he was e-mailing.
Please? -Open it now, please.
-Okay.
-Who wrote these? -Leo was trading e-mails with a user named i -Who is that? -There's no way of knowing for sure.
l could hack the server under the assumption that the user provided his real name when he subscribed.
-lt's Virgil.
-What makes you think that? Because most of these are plans, schedules things that he does with Virgil.
Or a friend at school? Listen to this.
Leo wrote: '' My father responds to everything by writing a check, rather than just listening to me.
'' Sendeuro writes back: ''lf your heart hurts, your dad's does too.
Money traps your dad.
He relies on it to fix everything.
You must try to heal the distance between you because, while you are the son and he is the father in this matter, you are the man and he is the boy.
'' Definitely not a friend from school.
lt's Virgil.
l thought he was just a regular guy.
Jackieit's Latimer.
lt's important that l talk to Virgil.
Please call me as soon as you get this.
This is Claire Phillips.
Missing for a year -mom says she's dead.
-Based on anything? She says she-- And l quote: ''can't sense her presence in the universe any more.
'' Case closed.
-Hey, Latimer? -Yeah? -Got a minute? -Sure.
Look, l've iust been doing some research.
Now, don't get upset.
we don't want this internal review -blindsiding us, you know? -Spit it out, Andy.
What is it? Virgil's mortgage.
It was paid in full three weeks ago.
Now, l'm sure there's an explanation, but it just struck me as odd.
For a person in his position-- -Look, l didn't want any surprises.
-Agent King? -Yeah? -We gonna go see Andie Phillips? We're gonna make a detour first.
What the hell--? Why did you hire me? -They wanted a bodyguard for Leopold.
-Why me? -Secure Trust recommended you.
-What do you know? -Nothing.
-Somebody is on the inside.
-l think it's you.
-No.
-l don't believe you.
-l'm not lying.
-So you're saying l'm lying.
-No.
Count of three, your brains are wallpaper.
-One.
Two.
-No! No! -Three.
-No! l can't confirm that sendeuro is Virgil.
-lt's Virgil.
-lt's Virgil.
-Conrad.
-What happened to you? -Where's Knapp? -Rog, what happened? -Virgil happened to me.
-What? -At the elevator.
-What? Virgil was here? He's lost his mind.
He's screaming that l altered his records saying that l'm the man on Leo's kidnapping.
He pointed a gun at me.
He threatened to blow my brains out.
l can't even go to the FBl because his brother-in-law is a senior field agent.
l'm gonna get a restraining order not that that's gonna mean anything to him.
l'm telling you, Conrad, l looked at his eyes.
They looked dead.
-l don't believe it.
-What? Virgil.
If he did it, he had his reasons.
And you're basing this on what? E-mails that we got between him and Leo.
They were on Leo's Playstation.
The FBl missed them.
Excuse me.
Explain to me why you opened those e-mails for her? -She said ''please.
'' -She said ''please''? Next time say, ''l'll look at it.
'' Then show it to me, nobody else.
lf you read the e-mails, you'll see that Virgil cares about Leo.
-lt was his iob to care about him.
-No, he really cares.
Are you-- You're not getting too close to her? Well-- No, l-- No.
That's good.
Because we have plenty of that.
-He's a sensitive man.
-Ellie, let me tell you something.
l'm sorry.
Don't be sorry.
Just go back in time and make the right decision.
And then find out everything there is to find out about Senator William Ross.
ls that who it is? Mrs.
Cain's-- He sent for me this afternoon.
l'll start you out.
His middle name is Xavier.
-That was fast.
-Read a magazine article.
Ellie, Virgil was ex-military, black ops, assassin who got a cushy iob and he got sloppy doing it.
And if he wasn't sloppy, Leo would still be here with us today.
You leave the room.
Wait here.
Just wait here.
Trish? Trish? Stop yelling and act like you've been somewhere.
-Did you pay off Virgil's mortgage? -Hello to you too.
-Trish, l'm asking you a question, now.
-You're asking me the wrong question.
-This is really important.
-Yes.
l paid off their mortgage.
l did it for my sister.
Don't worry, l didn't spend it all.
Does Virgil know? Jackie was gonna tell him on vacation.
And when were you gonna tell me? The next time we were both in the same room without one of us being asleep.
All right, all right, l can't argue with that.
Who is that? What part of ''stay in the car'' didn't you understand? -Daddy.
-Hey.
Ella.
-ls everything all right? -Yeah.
They're painting my apartment.
-l told you that.
-Oh, yeah.
Right, right.
-Hey, Trish.
-Hey, honey.
-l put fresh towels in the guest room.
-Oh, good.
-Yeah.
-Yeah, go ahead.
Okay.
Hi.
Nice kitchen.
-You didn't have to bring groceries.
-Please, when do l ever get to cook in a kitchen like this? -King.
-Roger Prince is taking a restraining order against Virgil.
-NYPD is looking to pick him up.
-For what? Assault.
For his own protection we should bring him in now.
-You got a 20 on Virgil? -No.
All right.
l'll bring him in.
You don't hand it out and don't do it yourself, all right? -Of course not.
-All right.
What's going on? lt's work.
l gotta go.
l heard Virgil.
Is he in trouble? Not if l get to him before anybody else.
l gotta go.
All right.
-Who is this? -lt's Ellie Cain.
l need to see you.
-lt's not a good time.
-I need to see you.
It's crucial.
-lt's about Leo.
-Thirty minutes.
Take a walk -l'll find you.
-Walk where? Hello? -Don't go.
-Why not? You can't trip over shoelaces if you're not wearing shoes.
Forget about it.
The sub-rosa buy-back, the crisis with Leo the cops thinking that you murdered Sullivan.
-The cops don't think l killed-- -Conrad.
There's a thousand guys with reasons to kill Sully.
Half named O'Hare, half on the force.
Couple of old Irish badges think why go after our own? We got a billionaire Judas on a Park Avenue platter.
l'm going to pay my final respects.
l don't have much time.
-So how was it? -How was what? Agent King's house.
Why don't you tell me? Some might say it's lavish.
His wife's a commodities dealer.
She makes seven figures a year at the desk at Golden.
Perfect iob for laundering Iarge sums of cash.
l have found no proof that Agent King has laundered money or done anything outside of the purview of his job.
What about Virgil Hayes? Any word on him yet? No, sir.
He seems to be off the radar right now.
l gotta go.
-You got 2 minutes.
-Are you all right? -Two minutes.
-All right.
l read your e-mails to Leo.
l didn't know that you were that important to him or that he was that important to you.
Ninety seconds.
-You never should've left the hospital.
-85 seconds.
Look.
l know that you will do whatever it takes to bring Leo home.
Whatever you need, you have it.
Oh, God.
You're gonna die if you don't get to the hospital.
No, no.
-You need to get to the hospital.
-l gotta get to my car.
Come on.
-No.
No.
-No.
No, l'm driving myself.
-You are not driving.
-You're not going with me.
You are gonna pass out.
Give me the keys.
-God.
-lt's five blocks to Cornell Medical.
Take the 59th Street bridge.
l know a better place.
They better think of something.
We gotta get moving.
Otto.
What's going on? You said l was going home.
l don't know.
-I think we have a problem.
-You know what l think? -l think you think too much.
-l think l'm offended.
Yesterday you made a point of showing me l could be gotten to.
Well guess what, lady.
And if you ever threaten my family again.
l overreacted.
Would you accept my apology? You said brighter minds than ours are handling things.
Okay.
Well, that doesn't make us stupid.
We take all the risk.
You make a mistake, we're left holding the bag.
Your partners are in the wind, we get lethal injection.
Now that l've seen your face, you're one of us.
You got me? l got you.
The boys in Mexico need to relocate immediately.
lf your brighter minds can't figure it out -they'll do it on their own.
-We're on it.
While you're on it, the heat's been turned way up -we want a bump in pay.
-l'll speak to the accountant.
-ls that a threat? -No, no, no.
To the contrary.
Now that we've met it's very important to me you remain happy.
Good.
-Yeah? -There's been a change of plan.
A change in plan? What the hell's that supposed to mean? Yeah, l want more money.
l want a lot of things.
l wanted my mommy to love me but that's never gonna happen.
Well, how's this raise supposed to get to us down here? Yeah? -We're iust getting ready to leave.
-We're not leaving? -Shut up.
-All right.
Until you say so.
Do you know what happened after l talked to my mom? My dad's paying the ransom, right? There were complications.
You better not be ierking my chain though.
You say more money, that means more money to me.
ls that why you went to church? We used to go, back home sometimes.
Do you believe in hell? -Yeah.
-Me too.
Come on.
Quit flirting with the kid and make yourself useful.
Just remember, Richie he ain't ever gonna like you more than he fears me.
l got one.
Glasses up! Not a soul he couldn't drink under the table, except his own ma.
-God rest them both.
-To both of them.
-To Sully.
-Sully! Yeah, to Sully.
What the hell was that? Yeah, l know.
Look what the cat dragged in.
l know you don't want me here.
l'll leave.
It's fine, it's fine.
l iust want to pay my respects to James Sullivan.
But not this James Sullivan.
Yeah, this James Sullivan.
Get out of here, you bastard.
Now, what exactly are we talking about when we talk about me being a bastard? We talking about change? Okay, yeah, l'm guilty.
l know l'm not liked here.
l know that.
But my son was taken from me and maybe there's some cold comfort in that for some of you.
l'm in pain and this is my home no matter how far life takes me.
This is my home.
So if l could just stay here for a moment with all of you and remember the better part of James Sullivan.
You can stay.
As long as you pick up the tab you rich son of a bitch.
Yeah! -What are we doing here? Why do you have all this? l'm a pessimist.
-Who is that? -The man that's been trying to kill me.
Who is he? Does he have something to do with Leo? Yeah.
He was there.
-Why's he trying to kill you? -l can identify him.
-l think we should call Knapp.
-This is between him and me.
lf you're such an expert, how come he found you? -You tell me.
-You used us as bait? l told you not to come.
You know how to use this? The safety, the trigger-- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
l know how to shoot a gun.
Father's a Republican.
All right, where is he? He's not there.
Cover the door.
lt's okay.
-How did you--? -l followed you.
Shut the door.
Shouldn't be doing this.
It's gonna put more stress on your system.
l need to be awake for this.
What are you doing? Time to go home, Mrs.
Cain.
-You don't wanna be here for this.
-What are you gonna do? Go home, Mrs.
Cain.
Wait.
Look.
-Wait.
-What? You got this? Yeah.
This your home away from home? How did you find me? LoJack.
l gotta take you with me, Virgil.
You ain't gotta do nothing.
Why'd you come out here, man? Save you the time.
Why don't l believe that? l'll be right back.
Hey, Jer.
You get that little problem fixed? -That was a pretty speech, Connie.
-Oh, thank you.
You know you might have them all fooled.
-You don't fool me.
-That's good to know, Jer.
No, because l don't believe a single word that comes out of your mouth.
Because, you know, every single one of us who was ever dumb enough to be good to you well, we got the short end.
Like Claire.
Man, she loved you.
You know? Didn't matter.
You married uptown.
She was there for you.
Right? She was always there for you.
But what--? You know what ever happened to Claire? -l don't know.
-You kill her? No, l didn't kill anybody.
Like l said.
Not a single word.
You know.
Guess l'll see you around.
Now, listen.
You want to know the truth? l don't know what happened to Claire or Sully.
And l intend to find out.
Not because there's any great love lost between him and l.
Yeah.
As far as l'm concerned he died a long time ago.
But whatever he knew about my son, he took with him to the grave.
But what l do know is that somebody in this bar, in this neighbourhood knows something.
Right, Jer? Somebody knows something.
And l'm gonna find out what that is.
l'm gonna come down here every day waving my wallet and holding this gun until l find that person and somebody talks and l get my son back.
You understand? -Do you understand? -Yes! Yes! Okay, Okay, good.
