Unforgettable s01e16 Episode Script

Heartbreak

You can feel the history, can't you? More than I can feel my toes.
I'm freezing.
There's the section I work.
Ike Davis tossed me his batting glove once week before he got called up.
Touching.
Can't we just take your stupid picture already? I'd rather do this opening day on the JumboTron, but I can't wait.
Mona, will you marry me? Is that a yes? Morning.
Hey, Steve.
Hey.
You're a sound sleeper.
Yeah, well, um I-I had an eventful night.
Yeah.
God, you are beautiful.
I, uh, ever tell you that? All the time, actually.
You told me that when we were having espresso last night.
And then about two times when we kissed, and then, gosh, a whole bunch of times when we, uh when you, um Man, that's embarrassing.
It was really it was great, though.
What? What's the matter? I I really like you.
Wait, is that a bad What? Is that a tragedy? Yeah, I don't know.
What do you think? I think you think too much.
No.
Hey.
in 20 minutes, as soon as I can.
No, I'm on my way.
All right, bye.
You're crazy.
I got to work.
The dead never sleep.
All right, well, see you later.
No, I'll be working.
I'll see you at work.
No.
I'm going.
Hey.
We got a John Doe.
Mid-30s, Caucasian.
"Take Me Out to the Ball Game"? You just had to see it for yourself, How often does an M.
E.
get a body at center field? Yeah? You a fan? I love the hidden rhythms of the game, the timeless contest reflecting our own eternal youth, not to mention the players' asses in those tight pants.
Who found the body? Groundskeeper brought his girlfriend out here to propose.
How'd that work out for him? Well, nobody does the ring in the butterscotch pudding thing anymore.
It worked for Ginny.
Hey, security guard finished the last of his rounds just after 7:30 last night.
Your vic has broken just about every bone in his body.
His ribs, both his femurs.
This guy's a mess.
- Beaten to death? - No.
Wounds aren't consistent with a beating.
He's suffered a blunt-force trauma from a violent impact of some kind.
Violent impact with what? There's no footprints or drag marks.
He wasn't dumped here.
My preliminary assessment for cause of death would be a fall from a significant height.
So where'd he fall from? Say it ain't so, Jo.
I think this guy fell from a plane.
UNFORGETTABLE S01 Ep16 - Heartbreak Stadium security says their footage shows nobody coming or going from 8:00 at night till No, that would be consistent with Webster's plane theory, right? Did you get any sleep last night? Yeah, I got tons of sleep.
I went to bed pretty early.
We missed you.
Bunch of us were over at the Third Rail.
Yeah? I was pretty beat.
I'm going to go get myself a cup of coffee and wake myself up.
- Sure.
- All right.
All right, I'm thinking stowaways hide in the wheel wells of planes, fall out at takeoff or landing.
Stowaway has to get on the tarmac first.
See if TSA reports any security breaches.
Okay, Webster puts time of death between 11:00 p.
m.
and 3:00 a.
m.
She's also found some localized bruising at the base of the skull that's not from the fall.
He was hit before he went out.
Doesn't sound like a stowaway.
Where are we with an I.
D.
on this guy? Just waiting for a missing persons report to pop.
We're running prints.
We're searching for surgical implants, dental records, anything unique.
How about the plane? Yeah, Tanya's on the FAA radar images of what flights were over the stadium.
Yeah.
Okay.
I got to go handle something.
Look, this guy's got to have a name.
It's going to be a lot easier to figure out what happened to him when we know it.
These arrows show air traffic over the stadium last night around the vic's estimated time of death.
From their transponders, I can identify 136 commercial and cargo flights, and six helicopters.
Great, so that should narrow it down.
Well, not so much.
Some of the smaller planes don't always have transponders, so you can see them on the radar, but it takes longer to identify them.
Hey, Carrie, can I ask, did Roe mention anything to you this morning about last night? - No.
- 'Cause we went out.
And I have a feeling it was Roe's first time.
- He did really well - Okay, Tanya, I don't think you really want to be talking to me.
- I thought he would be nervous.
- I don't really think I should Can we talk about the radar? Then he got really into it.
This is too much information.
He kept, like, harmonizing and What, did you I'm sorry.
Wait a second.
What are we talking about here? Karaoke.
A bunch of us went out last night to a club, and Roe and I did a, uh, pretty awesome "Don't Go Breaking My Heart.
" Anyway, I thought he might have mentioned - He didn't.
- Nope, nothing.
Can we just focus back on the radar? Yep, here we go.
There are eight flights without transponders.
But the thing is, you have to file a flight plan through the FAA, so I should be able to identify all these for you in the next couple of hours.
- Thank you.
- You should come singing.
No.
- Never going to happen.
- You're a soprano? Good luck with that.
- Got it.
- All right.
There's no airports with any missing workers or security breaches.
It's probably not a stowaway.
Figured as much.
Webster makes this a murder.
What's up? Got a call from the 116.
Spence was over there.
My son, Spence? What's he doing there? What'd he do? He and some buddies dined and ditched at a place over on Stillman.
That punk.
I'm going to ground him for life again.
Wait, I don't get it he-he calls you? Would you have called your dad in that situation? Owner agreed to drop charges in exchange for a new paint job.
Nothing goes on Spence's record.
Yeah, thanks.
It's like he's trying to stick it to me or something.
- I - Hey.
Got it.
Positive I.
D.
on our victim's prints.
Jason Kubiak, 35, apartment over on Hillside.
He's a bank manager out at Cold Spring Harbor.
- Bank manager? - Yeah.
That's what I was thinking.
But local police report no alarms or unusual activity.
They drove by place was locked up.
Bank manager can turn off alarms.
Better double-check.
Family? He has a wife, Amanda, died three years ago.
Not finding another next of kin.
Run his credit cards, his cell phone.
Let's try to track his movements yesterday.
I'll get out to his apartment.
Is this Jason Kubiak's apartment? Yeah.
I-I'm sorry.
Who are you? NYPD.
And you are? Sarah Green.
I'm Jason's girlfriend.
Did you mind if we come in for a second, talk to you? Is it Jason? When was the last time you saw him? Yesterday morning, when he left for work.
Last night was our three-month anniversary.
I wanted to celebrate.
You had plans? Dinner.
He was going to text me the name of the restaurant.
I never heard from him.
You weren't worried? Things were moving so fast between us, I I was afraid he'd been scared off.
My God.
I can't believe this is happening.
How did you, uh how did you guys meet? Online.
This survivors blog.
Jason wrote such beautiful words about his wife.
I lost someone, too, about five years ago.
It's kind of everything to find someone who understands, you know? Yeah.
Hey, I ran Jason's credit cards.
There's a $150 charge last night at a restaurant, Chez Antoine.
- Fancy, fancy.
- I don't get it.
According to Al, the girlfriend says they didn't go out.
So who's he dropping that kind of dough on? And the plot thickens.
Webster found red metallic paint surrounding the laceration on Jason's skull.
She's thinking fire extinguisher, which are required on airplanes.
So maybe we find the plane, we find the murder weapon.
Nobody shows and they still charge you $150 just to hold the table.
Why didn't he show? Well, maybe he looked at the menu prices and wised up.
You know, you just don't appreciate the value of a romantic dinner.
Excuse me.
What about that time I took you to Windover's in Syracuse? Windover's in Syracuse.
No, that was very romantic.
Although the duck was overdone and the vodka was watered down.
Cost me a week's pay; this is the gratitude I get? I remember being very grateful.
Well, I was very Those are pollen stains.
Al, Jason had those exact same stains on his jacket.
Worth a shot.
This footage is from a security camera on that street.
Turns out, Jason did buy flowers for his big date.
Okay, obviously, they're arguing about something.
It looks like he's gonna walk away, then he comes back.
Then he sees something in the backseat, and he gets in.
What is in the back seat of that van? Let's get a BOLO out on that van.
I looked at his financials; he's got no money, no family.
So, why do you kidnap him? Only one reason I know you kidnap a bank manager.
There's no way that anyone's been in here since closing yesterday.
I appreciate your concern, but as you can see, the vault is still sealed, and the alarm is still armed.
It's an old vault, right? - No dual lock? - No.
But this one lock has over 100 million combinations and an alarm that trips if even one digit is input incorrectly.
You can open it alone? Yeah, the outer vault door, yes.
This inner cage, which gives you access to the money and the boxes, can only be opened by a manager.
That's not possible.
Okay, the perps turned off the front entryway alarm here, using a code all employees have.
They then got inside the bank using Jason's key card.
What about the vault? Jason's personal access code turned off the alarm, and then his key opened the inner cage.
They were in at 10:31, out by 11:57.
Got a 110,000 in cash, opened almost a dozen safe deposit boxes.
It's bring your felon to work day.
Hey, Spence.
Nina, Roe, Al.
Sit here, work on your paper, stay out of trouble.
Sounds super terrific.
Don't push me, Spence.
Get a chair in the conference room.
Ginny had to work; we don't want to leave him alone.
He's welcome here anytime.
Might as well put his prints in the system while he's here, right? Come on.
Okay, this was, uh, What? Come on.
Doesn't look like Jason's resisting.
Well, maybe they threatened him.
That's it.
They shut off the surveillance.
I don't know, based on that, all things equal, I'm liking Jason as the inside man here.
Come on, he's squeaky clean, no record.
What, you wake up one morning and say, "I'm gonna rob a bank"? His wife died.
Sometimes personal tragedy - makes you rethink things.
- Yeah, new girlfriend with champagne tastes make you rethink things.
The feds can worry about the bank robbery, we're solving Jason's murder.
And right now, I'm gonna say that guy is our number one suspect.
Okay, so I did a search of video cameras facing the stadium operating in our time frame, and I found a Channel 10 thermal camera on the Rikers Island Bridge.
Okay, now, this is not pleasant.
However, we can now time-lock the event at 1:17 a.
m.
I've got one private plane on the radar that would be over the stadium at the time we need it to be.
Now, there's not a transponder, but I did narrow the point of departure for that plane to Islip Airport.
Great work.
Nina, Roe, get out there.
Yes.
Hey, we're all going out tomorrow, same place, if you want to come.
I-I don't know.
I think I got to rest the pipes, you know.
I'll let you know.
Okay.
Hey.
That's the van from the flower shop.
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
Hi, I'm-I'm looking for the Barker Hangar.
I thought this was it, but Oops.
Man, I don't know nothing about a bank robbery.
So why'd you run? 'Cause you looked like cops.
I've got some financial issues with the ex.
Okay, okay.
Tell us about the van.
There's nothing to tell.
Belongs to a dude who rents the space for his 182.
Gives me 40 bucks to wash it down every few weeks.
- That's it.
- Got a name? Mark something.
I don't know.
Anyone here might know when he took the plane out? I do.
Last night around 1:00.
I was here working on a Skyhawk that had to get out this morning.
Did you see this guy with him? Didn't notice.
I was on the other side of the hangar.
Couldn't see their faces.
Sorry.
Exactly how many were there? Three.
You got a description of this third guy? Not really, man.
Like I said, I-I I couldn't see much.
I'm sorry.
Okay, so we got Jason, the guy in the bank, and, what, now a third person? Van was reported stolen two months ago in Virginia; it was wiped clean.
Hangar space was rented under a fake company name, but we did get the tail number.
Sent out a BOLO to all the airports within 600 miles of here.
Well, I got Sarah, the girlfriend, coming in.
I just want to see what she thinks about Jason being involved in a bank robbery.
Hey.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Hey.
Wh-What? You got a visitor.
You know what, I'll be right back.
Excuse me for a second.
Hey.
How you doing? We're kind of in the middle What's he doing here? Maybe he's got a tip on Jimmy Hoffa, Friendly bunch of guys in there, - Yeah, well - Which one's Al? Probably the one who was looking at you like he wants to kill you.
- Yeah, that's what I was thinking.
- Yeah.
Must be hard for you.
What? You know, being seen with me.
My family, the whole mob thing.
No, I told you I don't care about that.
Well, why'd you run me out of there - like the building was on fire? - I didn't run you out of there You, of all people, I thought it wouldn't matter - what my name was.
- It doesn't.
I mean, do I have to acknowledge that you are who you are and I am who I am, which is a cop? Yes, but I don't What's going on? Steve, really, I mean, things have been great.
We've been hanging out for, what, a month.
And unless my memory's serving me incorrectly, which it never does, last night was amazing, so Maybe we just leave it at that.
You said it, you're a cop, and in your world, my family name puts me on the wrong side.
And I got a feeling this isn't going to end well for either of us.
Really? Okay.
I don't remember you transferring to Organized Crime.
Very mature.
Couldn't resist.
Well, I just got dumped.
Really? Incredible, Hey.
Jo came through for us again.
DNA under Jason's fingernails comes back to a Mark Payne.
Mechanic at the airport confirms that's our pilot.
Best part, Payne's done two stints at Hazelton for bank robbery.
All right, run down every known associate of Payne's.
One of them's got to be the third guy or can point us to him.
You got it, boss.
Signora.
I'm looking for, um, Lieutenant Burns.
Yeah.
Yes, hello.
I'm Victor Cushman.
I was told to come by regarding the safe deposit box.
Mr.
Cushman, thanks for coming in.
You can join the others in here.
Thank you.
Hey.
Shouldn't you be writing your history paper? Want to take me to the shooting range instead? Really? You want to go to the shooting range? Hey, he's not bothering you, is he? What? No.
I never consider questions about the origins of the Continental Congress a problem.
Carrie.
Sarah Green's downstairs.
All right.
So, you feel like talking? If you mean about yesterday, there's nothing else to say.
We were hungry, didn't have any money.
It was stupid.
Well, I I didn't mean about that.
Then what? Well, you know, it's just it seems like it's been a long time since we talked.
I talked to you this morning.
You know what I mean.
Just about stuff at home and how you're feeling.
Dad, we never talked about stuff like that.
No, no, we would take th-that old ball Uncle Ryan gave us and we would go out to the park and we'd throw it and-and and we'd talk.
Look, I really gotta finish this paper.
Yeah, I know.
Go on.
I've never seen him.
Did he kill Jason? The bank Jason worked at was robbed last night.
Now, this guy, he was there with Jason, but we don't know if Jason was coerced or if he was in on it.
In on it? That's crazy.
You seem so sure.
It's just, he wasn't that kind of man.
What kind of man was he? Gentle honest Neat.
I'm not.
I didn't know guys like Jason existed.
Last weekend, we went horseback riding.
He'd never been in his life, but he knew I loved it, so we went.
He was terrified.
Sarah, I know this is hard.
Are you okay? Yeah.
It's just, um It's not fair, is it? No.
You know, um, when I was a girl, my dad left a, uh, a cigarette burning in my room.
Why he was smoking in my room That's how I got these.
Jason made me feel good about myself.
That's the kind of man he was.
Right.
Would you excuse me for a moment? Hey.
We got a possible location on Payne.
Roe tracked a delivery to Payne to this address three weeks ago.
Belongs to his uncle.
Mark Payne! Police! He's dead.
This is Lieutenant Burns, NYPD.
I was involved in a shooting at 126 Frederick Street.
One perp down; need an ambulance at this address.
Sarah was here.
This is her tea.
It's just It's not fair, is it? You can say it.
I got played.
Uniforms went to Jason's place, but there was no sign of Sarah.
We sent a BOLO out.
You know, we surprised her when we showed up to Jason's place.
She was clearing out her stuff.
Hey, found a bunch of files upstairs.
They've got notes on security systems, police patrols They've even got recon photos from inside the bank.
Looks like they spent months researching and planning this robbery.
Found a file on Jason.
It's all there his favorite restaurants, his routines; they've even got his wife's obituary.
She targets Jason, who's grieving for his wife so she can get access to the vault.
Pretty harsh.
Don't forget the part where he gets thrown out of a plane.
We still don't know if he went along willingly.
Hey, love will make you do stupid things.
Listen.
Wh-Wh-Where did you hear about that? - From Kiki, Elton.
- Yeah? I think I may know why Jason went along.
These photos make her look like a hostage.
Maybe in the end, they figured the photos weren't enough.
My guess, they had Sarah tied up in the back of that van.
That's what Jason was looking at on the video.
Either way, she betrayed him.
Hey.
At least she didn't get away with all the money.
Unis found a bunch of cash upstairs.
But if you get away in a plane that nobody can track, why do you end up right back here? Photos make it seem like they're planning another job.
Maybe this isn't about the cash.
Maybe this is about something else.
Let's take another look at those safety deposit boxes they hit.
Might have caught a break.
They got a clean set of prints off that teapot.
Let's run 'em.
I'm not surprised to hear Sarah's in trouble.
She's always been a challenging daughter.
Here.
In and out of nearly every private school in Manhattan.
Cheating, truancy, stealing, even rumor she had an affair with a dean.
On her 18th birthday, she dropped out of school and left home to find her destiny.
What did her father say about all that? You mean my ex-husband? He had nothing to say.
He was long gone.
Really? Wh-What was he like? The most extraordinary gentleman I ever met.
And a colossal scoundrel.
Not a fit father for a young girl.
But Sarah adored him, and she was never the same once he left.
Tell me about the fire.
At the hotel? No.
Sh-She told me her father had been smoking in her room, and-and a fire had started; she showed me the scars.
She told me those came from a hotel fire.
Okay.
Wh-When was this? It's about five years ago.
She was in Europe with her husband when it happened.
She's married? Was.
To an older gentleman, of course.
He's Polish or Swiss or one of those.
I never met him.
I probably have him in here.
Wh-Wh-When did this marriage end? Well, shortly after the fire.
The monster left Sarah recovering in the hospital.
Here.
That's him.
That's the one.
Hello.
I'm Victor Cushman.
I was told to come by regarding my safe deposit box.
Interpol has never heard of Victor Cushman, but they have heard of Adam Gruen, and he is a person of interest in a string of bank robberies across Europe from 2002 to 2005.
He used a private plane as his getaway vehicle and was associated with a young female accomplice.
Check this out.
Six years ago, apparently, the duo grabbed close to two million in diamonds from a resort safe outside of Basel.
A week later, a small plane registered to Gruen crashed at the base of the Alps.
Gruen got away with the diamonds, but his suspected accomplice was trapped in the wreckage and badly burned.
Austrian government couldn't make a strong enough case without the jewels, so they had to release her.
Sarah.
So this is about revenge.
He left her to burn so he could get away with the diamonds.
She wants 'em back.
So maybe the diamonds are in the safe deposit box.
She hits a bunch of them so he doesn't think it's her? No, I don't think the diamonds were in there.
I saw his face when he opened that box.
He looked relieved.
What was he relieved about? There was a key.
Guy locks away a key? What's that about? What? The key to the diamonds? Yeah.
I mean, he looked really happy that key was in there.
If that's what they're after, then why is the key still there? All right.
There were 86 minutes they were in that bank that we couldn't account for, right? What if they copied the key? Right.
So th-they take the money, hit the other boxes.
Cushman thinks it's a normal robbery.
But but still, th-the key to what? Can you look up a place called Dye & Norwood? They were staking it out, I think, from those photos.
Yeah, I-I know this place.
It's a state-of-the-art storage facility for the super-rich.
Paintings, furniture Guy's a Rockefeller.
Who knew? I-I know some cops who moonlight there.
It's very hi-tech.
It's impossible to jack.
Unless you have a key.
Yep, got it.
It's uptown.
It's open Monday to Friday and appointment only.
That's why they copied the key.
They couldn't get in until today.
Opened at 10:00 a.
m.
That was 15 minutes ago.
Hey! Police! Hey! She's gone! I was too late.
So you don't have any idea where Sarah is? - No.
Why should I? - That's a good point.
I mean, after all, you did leave her to die in a burning plane five years ago.
What did you do? Ditch her, so you wouldn't have to share your score? It's ridiculous.
That was an accident; I would never hurt Sarah.
Yeah, but you didn't help her either.
You took the diamonds, left her there to die.
Listen to me, Detective.
I've been alone since the moment I abandoned her, and I've regretted that moment more than any in my life.
What I had with Sarah was unique, and-and and I loved her.
And I would do anything to say that to her face-to-face.
You know what I think? I think you got your ass handed to you by the little American girl, and the reason you're not serving her up to us on a platter is because she has your diamonds, and you want them back.
You don't have anything on me.
We don't, but Interpol does.
I can't even pronounce half the places where you're wanted, Victor, but you are wanted You know, extradition is a complicated process, Victor.
I mean, who knows, you dance with us, maybe we can talk to the D.
A.
He'll keep you here instead of sending you to some country, where they're not going to treat you nearly as nice.
Where is she? I don't know.
I wish I did.
You can do better than that.
Come on.
Where could she be? We have a deal? Like I said, we'll talk to the D.
A.
Good.
Well, she, I think, would be waiting a few hours that's what we always did and then she will just fly away.
Fl Sarah can fly a plane? Of course she can fly.
I mean, she's she's one of the best pilots I've ever worked with.
Listen, if Sarah can fly her way out of here, we got to find that plane.
We've already checked every airport on the East Coast.
That plane's gone.
Wait a second.
There were stencils with paint on them at the safe house.
She changed the plane's tail number.
Nina, get Tanya in here.
We're going to run some new tail numbers - and find that plane.
- Got it.
Hey.
Prints from the plane just came back.
We got Sarah's statement.
She said the plan was always to dump Jason's body out of the plane.
She even admits to whacking him with the fire extinguisher to make it easier.
Real piece of work.
Give me a second with her, okay? Hello again.
That was a, uh pretty rough story you just told.
Guess so.
Make a guy fall in love with you, use him to rob a bank, then push him out of a plane.
Got to be pretty cold-blooded for that.
If you say so.
Thing is, I don't think you're that person.
You don't know me.
No, I don't.
What I do know is that you were in love with Victor Cushman, that he promised to love you, protect you, take care of you.
What I understand is the pain you must have felt when he left you to die.
That calls for revenge, right? Even if it means taking an innocent man like Jason and conning him.
But I don't think that you're a killer.
I am.
Mark Payne's fingerprints were all over that fire extinguisher.
- Not yours.
- I killed him.
- That was the plan.
- You were flying the plane, Sarah.
How could you have killed him? How? It's not possible.
I don't think you ever expected Jason to die.
I don't think you wanted him to die.
Now, Mark, maybe he didn't want to split it three ways.
Maybe he was jealous of the relationship between the two of you.
Everything you told me, it wasn't entirely a lie, was it? Look, it's time to tell the truth, okay? It's over.
Do this for yourself.
Do it for Jason.
Just tell me what happened.
We were going to hold him out in Jersey for a few days, just let him go after I'd gotten the diamonds.
We only used the plane because Mark was afraid someone made the van.
It was so fast.
We were still climbing.
I was starting to tell Jason about Victor, about the diamonds, and I heard this awful sound.
I turned, and Mark hit him again.
Mark said we couldn't be found with him.
I was just trying to control the plane, and that's when Mark pushed him out.
But it's my fault.
It's my fault he's dead.
You going to be going home soon? I can grab the subway.
Wha? I-I I got some work, but But no, that's fine.
So did you get the bad guy? Yeah.
Yeah, we did.
How about you? Get those Articles of Confederation written? How'd you know about that? Hey, I was in the tenth grade once.
It was a long time ago.
You know, I, um I actually have some time now.
If you still want to talk.
Yeah.
But you know what? I I have an idea.
Hey.
Carrie.
Hey.
What are you doing here? Look, I'm an idiot.
Yeah.
And? I've really missed you.
It's only been 29 hours.
Well, 29 hours, and I don't know how many seconds.
How could you have possibly missed me? Look, I'm really sorry I I'm sorry I freaked like that.
After you left yesterday, I'm thinking, "Don't be a sap, Steve.
"How's this going to end, "She's a cop, and your dad played bocce with John Gotti.
" So, then, I thought I'd run up to the precinct.
To prove yourself right.
Yeah, I guess.
Or make you prove it for me.
And I played perfectly into the part.
You had every right to be angry.
I shouldn't come up here like that.
I shouldn't have run you out of the building like it was on fire.
Yeah.
Well, you know what they say.
"Greater powers than we can contradict hath thwarted our intents.
" Romeo and Juliet.
You know, that's no, it's good.
I actually, um I was Lady Capulet in the fifth grade.
Mercutio, Merrick Junior High.
