Missing (2012) s01e04 Episode Script

Tell Me No Lies

1 - Previously on Missing - Michael! Thank you for bringing him home, Martin.
Whatever you need.
Anything.
I applied to a summer architecture program.
I got accepted.
It's in Rome.
Aah! Michael moved out of his dorm two weeks ago, and nobody knows where he went.
Something's happened to my son.
- Mom! - Michael! Mom? Who are you? What am I doing here? First time they warn.
Second time they wound, and there are no blind spots.
If he tries it again, take out a knee.
You're a prisoner, too.
My name is Michael.
Oksana.
He's starting to trust me.
The man who killed your husband has your son.
I'm sensing that your son wants to talk to you.
I love you, Becca.
Hi, mom.
Hey, Mikey.
I forgot your ball.
Will you run inside? Daddy! Watching him die over and over again Won't bring your husband back.
I'm not watching my husband.
I'm watching my son.
What are you doing now? Figuring out where we are, since either you don't know or you won't tell me.
With a nail? There are no clocks in the castle.
Why not build one from scrap metal and gears you happen to find? Couldn't find any springs.
It's a sundial.
Length of the days will give us latitude.
Longitude's another problem.
Who taught you how to be so clever? My dad.
My mother always told me he was killed in some random terrorist attack.
Wrong place, wrong time Wrong everything.
You don't believe it? I always did.
That was before I was grabbed off the street and brought here, before I saw my mom chasing an airplane on a motorcycle.
Maybe she's more than you think.
It's past that.
I'm starting to think I have no idea who my parents really are.
What about your parents? Let's just say I never had anyone to teach me how to make sundials.
If I really wanted something, I had to figure it out on my own.
I was on the phone with Michael when it happened, and the next thing I knew, I was at the airport.
I had just driven there on autopilot, but Langley grounded me.
They put you on the no-fly list? It's against protocol for an agent spouse to go to the scene of their death.
So how did Michael get home? Martin Newman brought him.
That's right.
He was your mentor.
You read those books, too? Hasn't everyone? Did he really base the Dirk Casey character - on himself? - I don't know.
Is Dirk Casey a selfish, arrogant old man? Anyway Official report says the car bomb was a 1/2 kilo of C4 placed-- Placed under the driver's side.
Precisely when are you gonna tell me something I don't already know? I'm so sorry.
Who did it? That can wait.
Martin Who killed my husband? Russian intel.
Paul was working with them on a deal.
Working? He wasn't working.
He was on vacation.
No, he wasn't.
Paul was on a mission for me.
I asked him to make a drop when he was there.
Just, uh, a-a standard drop.
A drop? No.
Paul wouldn't do that.
We have rules.
We protect Michael.
We don't let Michael get anywhere near any of this.
Paul wouldn't break that trust.
I convinced him to break it.
It should have been no big deal.
You used my husband as cover? You You used my son as cover? - It wasn't like that.
- Yes, it was.
Michael was right there.
Do you know how close he was to that? Oh, my God.
He could have been in that car.
Becca, you have to know, if anything ever happened-- Something did happen! My 8-year-old son watched his father die.
Becca, you're the closest thing to a daughter I've ever had.
When you had Michael-- Get out of my house.
- Becca, please.
- Get out.
- Just tell me-- - Get out of my house! Mom? Ohh.
You okay? Look at this man, the one who hands Michael the ball.
It's almost like It's like he delays him.
Who is this guy? Mm.
We never made an ID.
His face never showed up in any of the camera angles, and he disappeared with a few hundred other people in the aftermath.
Look at that burn mark.
Hold that.
These are the pictures Michael took on their vacation.
I've looked at 'em a million times.
Burn mark.
That's him.
I don't know about you, but I don't believe in coincidences.
Our guy's been identified as Ori Yadin, also known as Ahmed Assad, Eyal Uziel, and Josi Dimitriou.
Ex-Mossad.
Now he's an assassin for hire.
We have to find him.
We can't be sure he's involved in this.
I was told the man who killed my husband has my son.
It's all I have to go on.
Why would the Russians hire an outsider to kill somebody? They didn't.
Ori has one well-known rule.
He won't work for the Russians because his parents were killed in a gulag, so he may have killed Paul, but he didn't do it for the Russians.
Then Martin Newman lied to me.
If I really wanted something, I had to figure it out on my ow Where have you been? I've been exploring.
I think I might have found a way out of here.
Whatever you are thinking of doing, don't.
They didn't bring me here for fun.
Sooner or later, they're gonna kill me or use me somehow.
I don't plan on waiting to find out.
These are bad people.
No matter what you think you discovered, they are not fools.
I'm serious.
It's not a game.
So You haven't seen him in ten years, huh? That's right.
Wow.
Writing sure pays better than the Agency.
Martin's had this place forever Although the Butler's new.
Becca.
It's so good to see you.
It's not a social call, Martin.
You lied to me about Paul's death.
- The truth.
- The truth isn't gonna make you happy.
Michael is missing.
What happened? Why don't we start with what really happened in Vienna ten years ago? It's complicated.
No, it's really simple.
I need the truth to find my son, and you're gonna tell it to me.
Becca I'm so sorry.
What are you talking about? Your husband was corrupt.
Becca, Paul was a traitor.
- I don't believe you.
- Please sit down.
No.
Paul was not a traitor.
You're lying again.
If you'll just sit down-- Quit telling me to sit down! Paul was working for a rogue group of ex-intelligence officers-- Some KGB, some Stasi, all our old enemies-- who went into business for themselves.
What kind of business? We don't really know.
The whole financial structure of Europe was changing.
The Euro was coming in.
Crime on the continent was in chaos.
They knew they could grab a piece of the pie.
And Paul wanted too much? Enough to get him killed.
Have you heard anything about this-- Rogue ex-operatives? There's been rumors for about ten years now.
They're more than rumors.
Did you try to access Paul's file? It's almost entirely redacted.
He might have been undercover, or maybe the intel is all wrong, but the man I was married to was not a criminal.
Becca, the Agency looked into every angle, every excuse.
I didn't want to believe it, either.
He lied to all of us.
No.
No.
Becca.
Becca Coffee's on.
You're handy to have around.
When did you leave this here? The other day.
I thought we understood each other.
Yeah, I think we do.
- Paul.
- Becca.
We don't do this.
We don't leave stuff at each other's place.
Well, maybe we should.
We've been together almost three years.
I'm not seeing anyone else.
Are you seeing anyone else? Good.
Good.
So this is just, uh, regular female crazy, not "I'm about to break up with you" crazy? I'm not crazy.
Hey.
I love you, but you're a little crazy.
It's a toothbrush, and I know you have whatever weird things you have about relationships, and I've accepted all your rules.
I actually find them kinda cute, but, really It's a toothbrush.
Not a big deal.
I'm pregnant.
What? You want to ask me something.
What makes you say that? 40 years working for the Agency, you get pretty good at reading people.
Is it true you did all these things you write about-- The fighting, the women, that-- that night in the Kremlin? My books are fiction.
This is a waste of time.
If the men who killed my husband have Michael, then my path to him is through the triggerman, Ori Yadin.
- Ori Yadin? - You know him? Of him.
The man has a long list of confirmed kills.
Well, Paul is on that list.
Has your staffer gotten a last-known location on him yet? Just came through.
He was in Dubrovnik, Croatia, the past two years.
Ori Yadin's a dangerous man.
If there is any chance he knows something about Michael, I am going after him.
We'll go after him.
You're not going anywhere.
Becca, I taught you that look.
It's not gonna work on me.
I don't want you there.
Hate me if you want to, but I know Dubrovnik, and I was the lead investigator in Paul's death.
I can help.
And even if you forget all of that, Michael is still my godson.
There's only three ways in and out of these city walls.
We've got 'em all covered.
And the marina.
We've got people in the surrounding countryside and a large presence in the city.
Ori's not going anywhere without us knowing about it.
Good.
Ori's villa is on a bluff just north of here.
Best approach-- - We go in the back.
- Tactical approach from the rear.
Approaching the house? - 2-man team.
- 2-person job.
Any time you two want to stop doing that Sorry.
I'm one of the two.
- No.
- Or I can sneak in after you.
Give me a gun? You're a civilian.
I'm ex-CIA with C-12 security clearance and advanced weapon training.
Right.
Ten years ago.
Let me put it this way.
You're approaching a fortified position with possible hostiles inside, and I'm the only one who's got your back.
Door's open.
Oh, looks like we're not the only one looking for him.
Coming out.
The house is clear.
Gun! Uhh.
You see the face of the shooter? Was it Ori? No, not Ori, but I've seen him before in Ravello, which means if he followed me here, I'm getting closer to Michael.
What are you doing? Um, I was just looking at this door.
These carvings are from the 18th century.
Um, I've-- I've read about 'em, but I've never actually seen any.
Oh.
There you are.
I was wondering if you'd gotten lost.
It's been a while since you checked up on me.
50 bucks to tell us why we're here.
You're not even gonna point out that I don't have 50 bucks? Have you lost your mind? You are going to get hurt.
No.
That's the beauty of it.
I'm not.
Think about it.
I was just a total jerk to that guy, and he did nothing.
He wanted to, but he didn't, and that bullet-- They weren't actually trying to hit me.
I must be important to them in some way.
They're not gonna hurt me.
Don't test them.
You don't want to know what their limits are.
You sound like my dad.
He said he knew before I was born I was hardwired to push the limits.
Maybe you need reprogramming.
This kid's gonna be amazing, brilliant, the good kind of sneaky, and it's gonna come just like that, because it's our kid, like buying a computer with preinstalled software.
This kid's gonna be the best of both of us.
How do you know that? I mean, maybe it's gonna be the worst of both of us, have my tone deafness and your complete inability to read directions.
We'll get it singing lessons and preassembled furniture.
And who exactly is gonna take it to these singing lessons? We're field operatives in the CIA.
We don't exactly have a routine.
We'll work it out, just like every other working couple figures it out.
I have absolutely no idea how to be a mother.
I was raised in foster homes.
The longest I've ever lived anywhere is I don't know.
It's probably this apartment, six months.
You're gonna be a great mom.
I've never really even held a baby.
I don't know how I'm gonna do this.
Hey, that's not the question.
It's how are we gonna do this? I'm not going anywhere.
I promise.
This kid is gonna be amazing, because we're both gonna be there to make sure of it.
Are you busy this afternoon? Then marry me.
Well, they did a thorough job on this place.
Eh, my place looks like this most weekends.
Get an ID on this woman who's getting her mail here, too.
Girlfriend, relative? He doesn't look like a killer.
Some people are experts at hiding who they really are, even from the ones they love.
Ceramic.
That'll get through any metal detector in the world.
Anything new on the blond shooter? Not since you asked me 40 seconds ago.
How many people enter the city by cruise ship? About 13,000 per day.
If I wanted to get lost, that'd be a great way to do it.
He's gonna use the promenade to the ship.
Let's go.
Anything? Saw a fat guy in speedos.
I may need trauma counseling.
Let's split up.
Spotted.
Aah! Aah! You're CIA.
What do you want? I am not CIA.
I'm Becca Winstone, and I'm looking for my son.
Who hired you to kill my husband, and who has my child? I want amnesty.
I want a new identity and a way out of the city.
Get that for me, and I'll tell you who has your son.
Whoever has Becca Winstone's son is into some serious stuff.
We have already seen heroin, diamonds.
Ori Yadin is the only lead we've got.
Ori's told us he's willing to deal.
Dax-- Look, boss, I just need to get him out of Dubrovnik.
There's an extraction team in Kosovo who can be here in an hour.
Dax, I can't authorize this.
The seventh floor is shutting this down.
What are you talking about? Identifying Ori Yadin as the triggerman in Paul Winstone's murder is a huge break.
Why would they shut us down? They don't give explanations.
Is there anything you can do? You have been working toward a promotion for 18 months.
Don't let this case screw that up.
Do you really think Paul was a traitor? I didn't want to.
I fought it for a long time.
I know it's hard to swallow.
Paul was The best of us.
How ya doin', kiddo? I don't know.
Every relationship I've ever seen has ended in heartbreak.
Do you think this is a mistake? I've always thought marriage was a mistake.
Have you ever seen your psych eval from when you joined the Agency? No, but I can probably guess.
Difficulty attaching, sees the worst in everybody, intimacy issues.
That's about it, and it all came with a big recommend.
The CIA likes people with trust issues.
And so you suggest I bind myself to Paul for all eternity? I think you should marry Paul because He's one of the few who's ever got past your defenses and earned your trust.
You and Paul have been partners for three years.
You've placed your life in his hands a thousand times over, and he's done the same with you.
Don't make Paul pay for the fact that other people in your life have let you down.
You're pretty smart.
I know.
Humble, too.
Well, I have you to keep me grounded.
You and Paul, the two of you, you're the best of us.
When did you find out? The CIA suspected him for a year before he died, but it could have gone on much longer than that.
There's absolutely no way he could have lied to the people he loved for so long.
You've done it With Michael.
I need to see Paul's unredacted file.
You know that's not that easy.
You've still got your clearances.
I'll see what I can do.
The seventh floor shut me down.
No.
That's the wrong answer.
- Trust me, I tried.
- Well, pull some strings.
I pulled all the strings I could.
Pull more.
Call in favors, leverage.
We're at a dead end.
No.
That's the wrong answer.
Do something.
There's nothing else I can do.
Sure about that? They said no.
You think I got to where I'm at by following the rules? Look, it's not like in your day.
You know, it's a corporation now.
It's exactly like in my day.
They told me what the rules were, and then I did whatever I had to do.
You're a good agent, Miller.
I've been watching you.
Your instincts are strong.
Your technique is flawless, and I'm sure your paperwork is a thing to marvel over Ohh.
But this isn't about that.
This is her son we're looking for, a boy who never hurt a fly.
If ever there was a reason to step outside the box, this is it.
Her child is missing.
What would you do? Let's go.
Yeah? If they fire me, I can always write novels.
Thanks.
You could be walking into an ambush.
I don't like the idea of you handing yourself over to a professional killer.
Ori knows something about Michael.
- Ori makes the rules.
- Becca.
When he contacted us to set the meet, he said she has to go alone.
He knows I have something to lose.
What choice do I have? Ori's down.
It just happened.
He's still warm.
Becca, what is it? Runner! Becca! Foot pursuit in progress.
- Hey! - Oh! Aah! Heading for the wall.
Cut him off.
Hey! Paul? Paul! You see who it was? It was Paul.
It was my husband.
what have I done? with my heart on the floor I must be out of my mind to come back begging for more but if you stay if you just stay for the night swear that I'm yours and I'll prove that I'm right my, my, my, oh, my, my I wanted to think you were lying.
I know.
How is this possible? I wish I could answer you, but I'm at a loss.
Where has he been the last ten years? He's the father of my child.
I mean Did he ever love us at all? Becca, Paul loved you.
He loved Michael.
You didn't misread that.
You let me hate you instead of him.
I wanted you to hold on to your good memories.
Aah! Oh, my God.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
Oh.
You were right.
They won't hurt you.
Oksana, I am so sorry.
Yeah.
I'm so sorry.
Seventh floor wants you to look into Becca Winstone.
Ah, so now I'm authorized to dig into this case, huh? Don't get me wrong.
Internal affairs is still gonna be all over your ass, but everyone here is very interested in the reemergence of Paul Winstone.
Nice get.
Good news, 'cause I'm a terrible writer.
Do you think Becca knew anything? Is she really as surprised as she seems? I don't think she's lying.
She was a top operative.
It's hard to believe she had no idea what was going on under her own roof.
Guess we're about to find out.
The soccer game that Michael went to two weeks before he disappeared.
Look two rows behind.
Man in a black cap.
Paul was there.
We don't know what that means.
It means there's a good chance my husband has my son.
