The Forgotten s01e07 Episode Script
Railroad Jane
we all get wake-up calls in life Some are just a little nicer than others.
For me,it started like any other day.
But then the call came.
Someone needed me, And I helped them.
And now I need someone to help me.
Proudly Presents s01e07 They found my skull eight months ago.
They never found the rest of me.
I'm out there.
They're just not looking in the right places.
Or they're not looking at all.
Maybe that's about to change.
- Hey.
I called you last night - Really? Wait.
So tyler can call meetings now? How come I can't call meetings? Because you call them at 4:00 in the morning.
"railroad jane"--so this is where they found her.
Right about there,actually.
I saw this on that tv show "murder & mayhem.
" Oh,my god.
Wednesday nights? I love that show.
Eh,the host lady annoys me.
- Hey,I find her passion intriguing and kind of-- - shut up.
Sorry,but the only way to get you to shut up Is to actually say "shut up.
" What,did you use to play here as a kid or something? 'cause that would explain a few things.
I've never been here before in my life.
But what happened here-- it was brutal.
***** Police think she died two months before her skull was found, So that means it's been ten months total.
kind of a long shot,dude.
I mean,all we have is a skull.
I mean,this might be even hard for the desk detectives or us.
Well,if we don't do it,who will? Come on.
Embrace the challenge,people.
Consider it embraced.
I'll call russell for the file.
We'll start searching missing persons.
Look at you,all inspirational and whatnot.
What is this? It's where you're gonna go pick her up.
Me? Railroad jane? You're a glutton for punishment.
Thank you.
This isn't a challenge,alex.
It's a dead end.
She may have been a person once, But mother nature got to her long before we did.
Well,before the rain and the snow, She haa life and a family,so let's focus on that.
Excuse me.
Tyler,how'd it go at police storage? Fine.
But,um, I think that we got an extra bone here.
Uh,excuse me? Yeah,there's,like,a vertebrae in the box,too.
I mean,do you think I got the wrong skull? Oh.
No,the police report says They found a second bone near the skull.
Okay,I gotta go.
Gotta go.
Everything all right here? Sure.
Yeah.
You're parked in a no loading zone.
I need your license and registration.
Sure.
thank you.
Now slowly,go ahead And put both of your hands on the dashboard.
What the hell? This is not what it looks like.
So I'm reaching-- I'm reaching, And then skull out.
It is out.
- You went full skull? - Oh,I went full,total skull exposure.
I mean,what was I supposed to say? "no,officer,this isn't a skull.
It's a skull-like thing.
" you know why that's awesome? Because it wasn't me.
oh.
The cop was really cool,actually.
Me being on probation, He could have been muche ore of a hard-ass.
So railroad jane's bones are probably scattered Across an industrial area-- an industrial area Slated for development by the donald trump of chicago-- Julius eddleston.
So eddleston's a suspect,right? Technically yes,but,uh, the railroad tracks are Pretty easy to get to from the highway, And there's not really much of a fence.
So anyone with a car could have slipped in and dumped her there.
true.
Strange thing is,eddleston Wouldn't let chicago p.
D.
Search his property.
Really? What's this eddleston guy's problem? I mean,what kind of a jackass Wouldn't let the police search for a body? Probably doesn't want the publicity.
Or care if she gets a decent burial.
Uh,I don't care what his reasons are, But we're gonna get those bones.
Try to see it from my perspective.
The police don't know if the body's there.
Yore asking to turn my land into a front-page story On a guess.
So you just pretend like she's not there? I'm sorry,but a court's already ruled on this.
This was her head,mr.
Eddleston.
You see,someone cracked her skull and cut her up.
And we think they scattered her body over your land, Hoping nobody would find her.
Please.
You know what you need to do.
All right,let's fm a line right there.
One person every 3 feet.
We're gonna take this as slow as we need to.
Just walk really slow,take everything in.
You see anything out of the norm, Raise your flag,and I'll come on over.
Sorry I'm late.
I called in some favors for a little extra help.
These guys were off duty.
Yeah,k-9.
Cadaver dogs.
Cool.
Oh,crap.
Okay,let's find railroad jane.
I had to guess about her hair, So she's a blonde,for now.
Railroad jane.
She's a work of art,tyler.
As soon as we're done here, I'll get her picture up on our web site.
You think we'll get anything from h bones? Russell's with the m.
E.
Now.
It's possible.
But,uh Well,at least she'll have a proper burial.
She can be at peace now.
We can do better than that.
Look what your search turned up.
It's part of a knee joint.
Ceonce the m.
E.
Cleaned it off,He realized one of the bones wasn't a bone at all.
It's plastic.
She had an artificial kneecap.
There's part of a serial number on it.
We can track it.
An artificial kneecap-- Just a little piece of plastic.
I never thought it would matter so much.
Maybe it will help them understand everything.
- Hey.
- Hi.
Uh,I called you again last night.
Why didn't you pick up? I was busy.
Well,I was calling to tell you That the serial number on our kneecap Can't I.
D.
Railroad jane.
Are you serious? Why? Well,it's a 32-digit number,And And we only have the first 20.
It happens.
The numbers get shaved off when surgeons Are trying to fit the plastic to a specific patient.
We're missing the last 12 digits-- The ones that can give us her last name.
- So we're back to square one.
- Maybe.
Alex is gonna find out If the numbers that we have tell us anything, And russell's goher people going over the bones again,So Interesting.
Um,have you been busy Or have you been Getting busy? Okay,no one actually says "getting busy.
? I bet you that she's,like,a stripper Who became a writer And she's really intense And committed to her basket-weaving.
Right.
Take it down to to the crime lab and find o.
We got all these tips from just one picture? Yeah.
Most aren't any help.
"we slalomed together in vail.
? "I paid her for a massage in thailand.
? "I saw her at a children's shelter in bethesda.
? They can't all be true.
Unless railroad jane's An exotic skiing masseuse from bethesda.
Yeah.
Probably not all true.
Well,the shelter thing Makes a lot more sense than the massage.
How do we tell what's real and what's b.
S.
? Look for anything that connects With what we already know or gives us a real lead We can follow up on-- a name,an address,a photo.
Hey,I got a photo.
"railroad jane-- Bull's-eye for missing person.
? it's from horsemama.
yeah.
So? Ladies and gentlemen,we have a horsemama sighting.
check it out.
When she finds a match,it's always interesting.
Is she blind or just crazy? Maybe both.
If she's even a "she.
? yeah,probably a freak,you know, Sitting by the computer,hour after hour,obsessed.
That's totally different than what we do.
- I don't think that's us.
- No,we're not-- that's not us.
- Yeah,it's black and white.
- exactly.
Okay,thank you.
Thank you very much for your help.
I'm officially our kneecap/plastic thingy expert.

With daniel,I was happy.
He was compassionate and adorable.
and then there was the life that came before-- The one I never told him about.
We dated for about a year.
Then she moved in.
She was abducted two months later.
Any idea who took her or why? Amy was private.
If I ever tried to press on certain things, She gave me that look.
It was her "shut up" look.
It could stop me in the middle of a word.
Kinda scary.
On the day it happened, did you guys maybe Get in a fight or something? No.
We were at the grocery store.
I left her to go get some milk, And when I came back,she was finishing a call.
She was shaking.
She said she had to go right now.
She'd call me when she could.
- Then she walked.
- Just like that? I chased after her.
She said there were things she hadn't been telling me.
She'd call me when things calmed down.
She went to the trolley,and she was gone.
Someone must have been blackmailing her,Threatening her.
Soid she call you later? No.
After 24 hours,I went to the police.
That's what you're supposed to do,right? I thought they could do something.
They basically laughed in my face.
I have their names.
Those sons of bitches should be fired.
I'm gonna sue the hell out of the whole department.
Railroad jane-- Amy lynn martin,amarillo,texas,24 years old.
Are those napkins? Her parents died when she was young.
She's got a sister,kay-- lives in chicago, Which probably explains what she's doing here.
Where are you getting all this? Um,amy's ex-boyfriend daniel harris-- Potential suspect.
Is there any paper In the alternate universe where you live? W-- I mean,I-- well,I was at lunch,And alex said he tried to call you,but you were out,so Uh,does one of these napkins Have the sister's chicago address? No,but I bet the,uh,Super magical chicago p.
D.
Computer does.
um,no,daniel doesn't have it.
He said amy told her phone and address book with her When she left milwaukee.
Well,I'll have milwaukee p.
D.
Look into daniel, And I'll see wha we can dig up on amy.
Excellent.
I'll see if we can get some info on the sister, Um,do some checking.
Thank you.
One minute you're deciding between chocolate and vanilla-- So,so important.
Then the phone rings, And you're reminded what a real choice is.
I didn't pursue the case because amy martin wasn't missing.
I'm not an idiot.
Well,that is a relief,because everybody I talked to At the station told me that you were.
I tracked her to the train station.
The ticket agent said she bought a one-way to chicago, alone,And of her own free will.
- Who said I was an idiot? - I don't remember.
But look,if nobody Actually spoke with amy¡ª I did speak to her,two days after she left town.
She said she was at her sister's place.
She sounded totally normal.
There was no one holding a gun to her head.
So she was leaving daniel.
Now a brush-off like that Might have made him angry enough to kill her.
Well,if detective russell Wants me to check his alibi,I'll do it.
You know,I tried to let him down easy, But he was too pissed,Couldn't take the fact that he was dumped.
But as far as missing persons goes,My hands are clean.
Sure.
Yes,hi.
I'm looking for kay martin.
Ah,you're karl martin.
My mistake.
- Anything? - Not yet.
- But you can stop hovering now.
- All right.
- Well,keep me posted.
- Will do that.
Hey.
What's this? Amy's life in a few cardboard boxes.
Daniel gave us some stuff.
Daniel? Wait.
This is the guy we think scattered her body Across a rail yard? Well,we don't know.
The police think he was in milwaukee Around the time she was killed.
They're still digging.
All we knoright now is that amy got a call, Dropped everything and ran to her sister.
So we're looking for kay.
That's her on the right.
It doesn't tell us how to find her.
So,uh,what's her name? Chardonnay girl.
Oh.
Rachel.
We met at a gallery.
And it's pinot.
I'm allowed to have a life,right? Maybe.
I haven't decided yet.
still no luck finding amy's sister kay.
I called every kay martin in chicago.
HorseMama: I found Amy and Kay's father working at a bowling alley in Joliet Whoa.
Horsemama is in the house.
Not-- not literally.
It's an I.
M.
uh,it says she saw amy and kay's father Working at a bowling alley in joliet, which is interesting Because the guy at the bowling alley has a different last name, And we know amy's parents are dead.
But other than those minor errors Yeah,those are little All right,that was alex.
He and russell got amy's cell number and used the time stamp From the grocery store video to pinpoint When amy got that call.
So we know who called her the day she left milwaukee.
It was her sister kay,right? Yes.
But her name isn't kay martin.
It's kay sheppard.
She's married.
Ben sheppard? Alex donovan.
You wanted us to meet you here.
Yeah,you said you wanted to see my wife kay? what happened to her? She was hit by a car.
She's been like this for ten months now.
Ten months-- amy died.
If there's a connection,kay might be the only one who knows.
Amy's dead? How? Homicide.
How did this happen to your wife? Kay was a block from our house.
My neighbors heard the car,but didn't see it.
The driver was never caught.
And where were you when ken kay got h? In atlanta on business.
And I had no reason to harm my wife.
Look,I answered l these questions Ten months ago,detective.
And since then,I've learned about the glasgow coma scale And put my 28-year-old wife in a nursing home.
I'm sorry this happened.
I'm sorry we have to ask about amy,too.
I didn't even know amy was in town.
You didn't try to call her after kay's accident? I left her messages,but sh.
Look,we weren't very close.
When she didn't call back, I thought maybe she just couldn't handle another tragedy.
Their parents were killed by a drunk driver.
Didn't it cross your mind That something could happen to amy also? Maybe,but I guess I wasn't thig clearly.
Some days I still don't.
What do the doctors say? That she almost died last week.
Her vital signs fluctuate like crazy.
But the doctor says with her latest surgery, There's a "real chance" she could wake up.
Whatever that means.
Kay got hurt.
Amy must have rushed to her sister's side.
It still doesn't explain how amy wound up dead.
Wait a second.
Iisthis is this right? The 9th? Uh,the date of the hit and run? So? Amy came to chicago on the You think they're connected? No idea.
But if amy wasn't here because of the accident, Why did she drop everything to come see kay? Maybe because kay's marriage was on the rocks.
It says right here she and her husband were separated.
russell wants to reopen kay's case With ben as the prime suspect.
They were separated for three months before the accident.
This isn't about kay.
It's about amy.
But kay and her husband are still the closest we have To a next of kin for amy.
All I'm saying is,amy's our girl.
Kay has a husband.
Amy only has us.
Tyler,we all want the same thing.
We want to learn their story.
We still don't know why amy dropped everything to come here.
And if we figure out where she went, Maybe we can find a link between kay's accident and amy's murder.
Wait.
What is this? Russell gave me the cell records and bank statements of amy's, And police couldn't find any leads to the killer.
I don't see anything that would tell us where she was.
So unless kay wakes up,we're hosed.
Wait.
Where's the rest of the,uh,cell usage info? It says amy had a smartphone,A good one,too-- g.
P.
S.
,internet.
Can russell contact the carrier? Wait.
Don't bother.
I got a buddy Over at their wireless internet group.
Al.
It's walter.
Wazzup? look,I need some usage data.
I texted over the account.
No,you're not gonna get in trouble.
yeah.
No,it's for that group.
Yeah,the network.
All right.
I owe you.
"wazzup"? Yeah,I'm bringing it back.
That was fast.
Uh,he said amy used her phone's map program four times.
He's sending over the addresses.
That's four places she went.
Let's go.
We can split 'em up.
Wazzup,indeed! here's the g.
P.
S.
Info.
Everybody grab a copy.
excuse me.
Do you know amy martin or,uh,kay sheppard? Well,kay used to work for me,until We heard about the accident.
We're very sorry.
We're with a victims' rights group.
We've been to the hospital.
It's awful.
But kay's a tough broad.
Last year she wrecked her bike, Some mini triathlon or something.
Concussion,stitches,the whole deal.
Came in at lunch instead of 7:00 a.
M.
What abo her sister? Did you meet amy? Just once,a couple of days before kay's accident.
She came to meet kay? Well,it looked like she came in to fight with her.
You know,I tried to say hello, But she just stared right through me.
And then they were out in the alley arguing For 20 minutes.
my sister looked okay, But there was that hint behind the eyes only I could see-- The denial.
And I had to stop her.
Amy was mad at kay.
Uh,do you know what it was about? Kay woul't tell me.
Amy wouldn't either.
So you talked to amy afterward? Well,she wanted the address Of kay's friend melanie,an agent here.
It wasn't really a talk.
She was making demands.
Amy was so intense.
I was afraid to say no.
Just take another look.
Amy's the one on the left.
She used her phone to find this place,keith.
Can I call you keith? Yeah.
Uh,she might've been here.
Well,do you know what she was doing,keith? I'm gonna stop ying your name now.
Uh,what she was doing here,like,what she ordered? Well,I mean,was she here to meet anyone? Good place to meet someone.
Maybe,I I don't know,sorry.
So what happened? Are they dead? Amy is.
Her sister kay is in a coma,But we think she might wake up soon.
Really wish I could help.
Yeah.
So Your address was in amy's phone.
I knew both of them.
Uh,kay was my patient,sort of.
Amy contacted me two years ago And made an appointment for kay.
Well,did you,uh Did you see amy again? Yes.
She came in to tell me she was worried about kay.
And when I told her kay had stopped therapy, She started asking about setting up an intervention.
We scheduled a session to talk about it,But amy never showed up.
So amy and her sister were close? I'm close with my sister.
Kay was like amy's mom.
After her parents died,At put amy through school And worked two jobs to pay the bills.
It's so unfair.
Did amy come to see you before kay's accident, Maybe asking about an intervention? For kay? She doesn't even drink.
But,yeah,amy stopped by.
It was weird.
Kay and ben were separated,but all amy could talk about Was some concussion kay got on her bike.
I didn't even know kay had a bike.
so amy rushes to chicago to plan an intervention for kay, But not about drugs or alcohol.
And she's asking about a concussion That kay got on her bike.
A bike we're not even sure she has.
The concussion is real.
She just got it someplace else.
So maybe this intervention is about a different kind of abuse.
Someone was hurting kay,and amy came here to stop him.
Ben-- the grieving husband? husbands lie.
And amy confronted him,so he killed her.
I'm calling russell right now.
Let's go.
why were you and kay separated? We hit a rough patch.
We staed arguing more,but we were gonna work it out.
Well,how frustrated did you get? You ever feel like hitting her? My wife is lying in a hospital bed.
I have gone broke paying for her treatment, And you're asking if I beat her? We know you beat her.
And we know what you did to amy,too.
- Hey,hey! You two,cut it out.
- Get him out of here! - ben-- - no! That's enough! You asked me to come in here because you wanted my help.
Now you accuse me? I'm not sayingnything more without a lawyer.
Sorry.
So the police are looking into ben.
What do you think? Well,I did detect some anger,but,uh,if that were a crime Who else could've abused kay and killed amy? What about someone from their past? Kay's best friend told me They came to chicago when amy was only 14.
What if they were running from a bad situation at home? Like an abusive parent.
Uh,to stay safe they might've lied about where they were from Or even changed their name.
Well,I've been looking in amarillo, And I can't find any death certificates or articles About amy's parents' drunk driving accident.
So maybe they're not actually dead? - Horsemama.
- What? Horsemama said she tracked down amy's father, But the last name was different.
Maybe she's right.
Well,let's get her over here.
Uh,well,why don't we meet her at your place? Yeah,you got the corkboard And the organic produce-- the apples,the sugar cubes.
I don't think she's actually a horse.
She could typewith her hooves.
You know what? That might explain All the spelling mistakes.
I'm gonna send her an I.
M.
sorry,lindsey.
- Hi.
Do-- - I'd like a white russian - Uh - Or a pizza roll and a fluffernutter.
Okay.
Uh,you said you found amy's father? After the next of kin alert,I googled her.
Nice binder.
Um Thank you.
There are,like,a million amy martins.
I-I could only get through the first 17,000 of them, So I got to thinking about-- Thank you.
So I started thinking about her patellar implant-- Kn-kneecap.
Um I used to work in a hospital.
Um Radiology technician.
Uh,anyway,in my career, I hadn't seen many girls that age blow out their knee, So I started searching for Female athletes named amy martin.
There was no amy martin.
So I did find a blurb About a junior high volleyball player Named amy sanders.
well,she's the right age.
And this is from joliet,just outside of chicago.
From there,it was easy.
I just called the school, said I was amy And requested a copy of my transcript.
Impersonating a high school student-- that's impressive.
this is how you got the name and address Of her father-- frank sanders.
I'm going to,uh I'm gonna call this in to russell.
Excuse me.
Thank you.
This is great.
Uh,some of your other tips have been A little harder to get a handle on.
What beers do you have on tap? None.
A good friend of mine went missing seven years ago.
The cops asked the public for help, But nobody out there knew anything.
Maybe I do send long shots But a long shot's better than no shot at all.
I have to leave now.
Good-bye.
frank sanders.
were called to your house Because kay had a broken cheekbone.
Sounds like you disciplined the hell out of them.
I didn't do that.
I was the one who called the cops.
It was one of kay's jackass boyfriends.
Hey,what's this about,anyway? Amy's dead,and kay was run down by a car.
She's been in the hospital for the last ten months.
Now if the police check your phone records and web history, Are they gonna find out you've been Looking for your daughters,frank? Last time I saw daughters was ten years ago.
I-I came home loaded,lost my temper.
I don't remember the rest.
Woke up the next day,they were gone.
Whoa.
Where are you going? I just got a text from a buddy of mine from the hospital.
"buddy"? What's her name? Curtis.
I had him check in on kay, and he says he overheard The doctor saying that her brain activity has increased.
Well,so somebody should be there in case she wakes up.
Somebody other than ben.
If he is involved,we don't want him getting to her first.
So russell called me.
The dad,frank,doesn't have an alibi.
He also doesn't se to have any idea about Anything going on with his daughters.
But he's still a suspect,right,along with the husband? The police can't find any evidence against ben either.
What about the ex-boyfriend frank told us about-- The one that roughed her up? Did russell ever track him down? He was a juvenile,so his records are probably sealed, And frank can't remember his name.
Look when we got their real last names, I started Searching for pictures of amy and kay sanders, And I found one of kay with an old boyfriend.
W-wait.
I just saw that guy.
H-h-his name's,uh,keith.
Where was keith? He owns the coffee shop.
I don't think amy was going there to meet anyone.
I think she was going there to confront keith.
Maybe the guy that was abusing kay.
when she tolme keith was back in her life, I could feel the anger building in me-- Anger And fear.
We're looking for keith gibson.
Sorry,keith took the day off.
I,uh Told keith about kay, When I was trying to find out if he remembered her.
He knows she could be waking up.
And if kay wakes up,She can tell everyone about what he did to her and amy.
We gotta get to the hospital.
- hey.
- Hey.
I'm a friend of kay's.
How is s? Well,she's not awake yet.
But it could happen.
Do you think I could get a minute alone with her? - Yeah,sure,man.
- Thanks.
Hey,alex.
Alex? Sorry,the signal's really bad in here.
This will only take a second.
Alex? The trach tube! Get the trach tube.
Are you okay? come on.
He's not talking.
But we found proof he was in contact with kay.
When kay left joliet,she kept an old e-mail address.
He was writing to her? D kay answered right after she and ben were separated.
let me gueps.
He told her he'd changed.
And it looks like she believed him.
growing up,kay was always the strong one.
When we were little,she protected me from our father.
He made her feel worthless, So she found men who treated her the same way.
- kay,where do you think you're going? - amy! - Stay there! Stayre! - keith was what she knew, What she thought she deserved.
And that last day, I finally convinced her to leave him.
Kay! Get back here.
Sot'hat's it,right? He's going away for what he did to them? After today,at least we got attempted murder.
He could end up doing 25 years.
now someone knows my story.
And maybe what happened can't be proven today, But it will Because one day,myter will wake up And she'll tell you everything.
She'll tell you how I died.
But more than that She'll tell you how we lived, How we fought for each other, How she saved me all those times.
And when it was my turn, I saved her.
You can run from the past, But sometimes the only way to move on Is to go back-- To face what your life was So you can make it what you want it to be.
It's my time to move on.
My name is amy sanders.
For me,it started like any other day.
But then the call came.
Someone needed me, And I helped them.
And now I need someone to help me.
Proudly Presents s01e07 They found my skull eight months ago.
They never found the rest of me.
I'm out there.
They're just not looking in the right places.
Or they're not looking at all.
Maybe that's about to change.
- Hey.
I called you last night - Really? Wait.
So tyler can call meetings now? How come I can't call meetings? Because you call them at 4:00 in the morning.
"railroad jane"--so this is where they found her.
Right about there,actually.
I saw this on that tv show "murder & mayhem.
" Oh,my god.
Wednesday nights? I love that show.
Eh,the host lady annoys me.
- Hey,I find her passion intriguing and kind of-- - shut up.
Sorry,but the only way to get you to shut up Is to actually say "shut up.
" What,did you use to play here as a kid or something? 'cause that would explain a few things.
I've never been here before in my life.
But what happened here-- it was brutal.
***** Police think she died two months before her skull was found, So that means it's been ten months total.
kind of a long shot,dude.
I mean,all we have is a skull.
I mean,this might be even hard for the desk detectives or us.
Well,if we don't do it,who will? Come on.
Embrace the challenge,people.
Consider it embraced.
I'll call russell for the file.
We'll start searching missing persons.
Look at you,all inspirational and whatnot.
What is this? It's where you're gonna go pick her up.
Me? Railroad jane? You're a glutton for punishment.
Thank you.
This isn't a challenge,alex.
It's a dead end.
She may have been a person once, But mother nature got to her long before we did.
Well,before the rain and the snow, She haa life and a family,so let's focus on that.
Excuse me.
Tyler,how'd it go at police storage? Fine.
But,um, I think that we got an extra bone here.
Uh,excuse me? Yeah,there's,like,a vertebrae in the box,too.
I mean,do you think I got the wrong skull? Oh.
No,the police report says They found a second bone near the skull.
Okay,I gotta go.
Gotta go.
Everything all right here? Sure.
Yeah.
You're parked in a no loading zone.
I need your license and registration.
Sure.
thank you.
Now slowly,go ahead And put both of your hands on the dashboard.
What the hell? This is not what it looks like.
So I'm reaching-- I'm reaching, And then skull out.
It is out.
- You went full skull? - Oh,I went full,total skull exposure.
I mean,what was I supposed to say? "no,officer,this isn't a skull.
It's a skull-like thing.
" you know why that's awesome? Because it wasn't me.
oh.
The cop was really cool,actually.
Me being on probation, He could have been muche ore of a hard-ass.
So railroad jane's bones are probably scattered Across an industrial area-- an industrial area Slated for development by the donald trump of chicago-- Julius eddleston.
So eddleston's a suspect,right? Technically yes,but,uh, the railroad tracks are Pretty easy to get to from the highway, And there's not really much of a fence.
So anyone with a car could have slipped in and dumped her there.
true.
Strange thing is,eddleston Wouldn't let chicago p.
D.
Search his property.
Really? What's this eddleston guy's problem? I mean,what kind of a jackass Wouldn't let the police search for a body? Probably doesn't want the publicity.
Or care if she gets a decent burial.
Uh,I don't care what his reasons are, But we're gonna get those bones.
Try to see it from my perspective.
The police don't know if the body's there.
Yore asking to turn my land into a front-page story On a guess.
So you just pretend like she's not there? I'm sorry,but a court's already ruled on this.
This was her head,mr.
Eddleston.
You see,someone cracked her skull and cut her up.
And we think they scattered her body over your land, Hoping nobody would find her.
Please.
You know what you need to do.
All right,let's fm a line right there.
One person every 3 feet.
We're gonna take this as slow as we need to.
Just walk really slow,take everything in.
You see anything out of the norm, Raise your flag,and I'll come on over.
Sorry I'm late.
I called in some favors for a little extra help.
These guys were off duty.
Yeah,k-9.
Cadaver dogs.
Cool.
Oh,crap.
Okay,let's find railroad jane.
I had to guess about her hair, So she's a blonde,for now.
Railroad jane.
She's a work of art,tyler.
As soon as we're done here, I'll get her picture up on our web site.
You think we'll get anything from h bones? Russell's with the m.
E.
Now.
It's possible.
But,uh Well,at least she'll have a proper burial.
She can be at peace now.
We can do better than that.
Look what your search turned up.
It's part of a knee joint.
Ceonce the m.
E.
Cleaned it off,He realized one of the bones wasn't a bone at all.
It's plastic.
She had an artificial kneecap.
There's part of a serial number on it.
We can track it.
An artificial kneecap-- Just a little piece of plastic.
I never thought it would matter so much.
Maybe it will help them understand everything.
- Hey.
- Hi.
Uh,I called you again last night.
Why didn't you pick up? I was busy.
Well,I was calling to tell you That the serial number on our kneecap Can't I.
D.
Railroad jane.
Are you serious? Why? Well,it's a 32-digit number,And And we only have the first 20.
It happens.
The numbers get shaved off when surgeons Are trying to fit the plastic to a specific patient.
We're missing the last 12 digits-- The ones that can give us her last name.
- So we're back to square one.
- Maybe.
Alex is gonna find out If the numbers that we have tell us anything, And russell's goher people going over the bones again,So Interesting.
Um,have you been busy Or have you been Getting busy? Okay,no one actually says "getting busy.
? I bet you that she's,like,a stripper Who became a writer And she's really intense And committed to her basket-weaving.
Right.
Take it down to to the crime lab and find o.
We got all these tips from just one picture? Yeah.
Most aren't any help.
"we slalomed together in vail.
? "I paid her for a massage in thailand.
? "I saw her at a children's shelter in bethesda.
? They can't all be true.
Unless railroad jane's An exotic skiing masseuse from bethesda.
Yeah.
Probably not all true.
Well,the shelter thing Makes a lot more sense than the massage.
How do we tell what's real and what's b.
S.
? Look for anything that connects With what we already know or gives us a real lead We can follow up on-- a name,an address,a photo.
Hey,I got a photo.
"railroad jane-- Bull's-eye for missing person.
? it's from horsemama.
yeah.
So? Ladies and gentlemen,we have a horsemama sighting.
check it out.
When she finds a match,it's always interesting.
Is she blind or just crazy? Maybe both.
If she's even a "she.
? yeah,probably a freak,you know, Sitting by the computer,hour after hour,obsessed.
That's totally different than what we do.
- I don't think that's us.
- No,we're not-- that's not us.
- Yeah,it's black and white.
- exactly.
Okay,thank you.
Thank you very much for your help.
I'm officially our kneecap/plastic thingy expert.
Did you get her name? Uh,no,but part of the serial number we do have Includes the lot number.
There were 200 kneecaps in the lot, And all 200 weep hpi *** **** ***** I got a birthday party.
Back-to-school night.
Unemployed.

With daniel,I was happy.
He was compassionate and adorable.
and then there was the life that came before-- The one I never told him about.
We dated for about a year.
Then she moved in.
She was abducted two months later.
Any idea who took her or why? Amy was private.
If I ever tried to press on certain things, She gave me that look.
It was her "shut up" look.
It could stop me in the middle of a word.
Kinda scary.
On the day it happened, did you guys maybe Get in a fight or something? No.
We were at the grocery store.
I left her to go get some milk, And when I came back,she was finishing a call.
She was shaking.
She said she had to go right now.
She'd call me when she could.
- Then she walked.
- Just like that? I chased after her.
She said there were things she hadn't been telling me.
She'd call me when things calmed down.
She went to the trolley,and she was gone.
Someone must have been blackmailing her,Threatening her.
Soid she call you later? No.
After 24 hours,I went to the police.
That's what you're supposed to do,right? I thought they could do something.
They basically laughed in my face.
I have their names.
Those sons of bitches should be fired.
I'm gonna sue the hell out of the whole department.
Railroad jane-- Amy lynn martin,amarillo,texas,24 years old.
Are those napkins? Her parents died when she was young.
She's got a sister,kay-- lives in chicago, Which probably explains what she's doing here.
Where are you getting all this? Um,amy's ex-boyfriend daniel harris-- Potential suspect.
Is there any paper In the alternate universe where you live? W-- I mean,I-- well,I was at lunch,And alex said he tried to call you,but you were out,so Uh,does one of these napkins Have the sister's chicago address? No,but I bet the,uh,Super magical chicago p.
D.
Computer does.
um,no,daniel doesn't have it.
He said amy told her phone and address book with her When she left milwaukee.
Well,I'll have milwaukee p.
D.
Look into daniel, And I'll see wha we can dig up on amy.
Excellent.
I'll see if we can get some info on the sister, Um,do some checking.
Thank you.
One minute you're deciding between chocolate and vanilla-- So,so important.
Then the phone rings, And you're reminded what a real choice is.
I didn't pursue the case because amy martin wasn't missing.
I'm not an idiot.
Well,that is a relief,because everybody I talked to At the station told me that you were.
I tracked her to the train station.
The ticket agent said she bought a one-way to chicago, alone,And of her own free will.
- Who said I was an idiot? - I don't remember.
But look,if nobody Actually spoke with amy¡ª I did speak to her,two days after she left town.
She said she was at her sister's place.
She sounded totally normal.
There was no one holding a gun to her head.
So she was leaving daniel.
Now a brush-off like that Might have made him angry enough to kill her.
Well,if detective russell Wants me to check his alibi,I'll do it.
You know,I tried to let him down easy, But he was too pissed,Couldn't take the fact that he was dumped.
But as far as missing persons goes,My hands are clean.
Sure.
Yes,hi.
I'm looking for kay martin.
Ah,you're karl martin.
My mistake.
- Anything? - Not yet.
- But you can stop hovering now.
- All right.
- Well,keep me posted.
- Will do that.
Hey.
What's this? Amy's life in a few cardboard boxes.
Daniel gave us some stuff.
Daniel? Wait.
This is the guy we think scattered her body Across a rail yard? Well,we don't know.
The police think he was in milwaukee Around the time she was killed.
They're still digging.
All we knoright now is that amy got a call, Dropped everything and ran to her sister.
So we're looking for kay.
That's her on the right.
It doesn't tell us how to find her.
So,uh,what's her name? Chardonnay girl.
Oh.
Rachel.
We met at a gallery.
And it's pinot.
I'm allowed to have a life,right? Maybe.
I haven't decided yet.
still no luck finding amy's sister kay.
I called every kay martin in chicago.
HorseMama: I found Amy and Kay's father working at a bowling alley in Joliet Whoa.
Horsemama is in the house.
Not-- not literally.
It's an I.
M.
uh,it says she saw amy and kay's father Working at a bowling alley in joliet, which is interesting Because the guy at the bowling alley has a different last name, And we know amy's parents are dead.
But other than those minor errors Yeah,those are little All right,that was alex.
He and russell got amy's cell number and used the time stamp From the grocery store video to pinpoint When amy got that call.
So we know who called her the day she left milwaukee.
It was her sister kay,right? Yes.
But her name isn't kay martin.
It's kay sheppard.
She's married.
Ben sheppard? Alex donovan.
You wanted us to meet you here.
Yeah,you said you wanted to see my wife kay? what happened to her? She was hit by a car.
She's been like this for ten months now.
Ten months-- amy died.
If there's a connection,kay might be the only one who knows.
Amy's dead? How? Homicide.
How did this happen to your wife? Kay was a block from our house.
My neighbors heard the car,but didn't see it.
The driver was never caught.
And where were you when ken kay got h? In atlanta on business.
And I had no reason to harm my wife.
Look,I answered l these questions Ten months ago,detective.
And since then,I've learned about the glasgow coma scale And put my 28-year-old wife in a nursing home.
I'm sorry this happened.
I'm sorry we have to ask about amy,too.
I didn't even know amy was in town.
You didn't try to call her after kay's accident? I left her messages,but sh.
Look,we weren't very close.
When she didn't call back, I thought maybe she just couldn't handle another tragedy.
Their parents were killed by a drunk driver.
Didn't it cross your mind That something could happen to amy also? Maybe,but I guess I wasn't thig clearly.
Some days I still don't.
What do the doctors say? That she almost died last week.
Her vital signs fluctuate like crazy.
But the doctor says with her latest surgery, There's a "real chance" she could wake up.
Whatever that means.
Kay got hurt.
Amy must have rushed to her sister's side.
It still doesn't explain how amy wound up dead.
Wait a second.
Iisthis is this right? The 9th? Uh,the date of the hit and run? So? Amy came to chicago on the You think they're connected? No idea.
But if amy wasn't here because of the accident, Why did she drop everything to come see kay? Maybe because kay's marriage was on the rocks.
It says right here she and her husband were separated.
russell wants to reopen kay's case With ben as the prime suspect.
They were separated for three months before the accident.
This isn't about kay.
It's about amy.
But kay and her husband are still the closest we have To a next of kin for amy.
All I'm saying is,amy's our girl.
Kay has a husband.
Amy only has us.
Tyler,we all want the same thing.
We want to learn their story.
We still don't know why amy dropped everything to come here.
And if we figure out where she went, Maybe we can find a link between kay's accident and amy's murder.
Wait.
What is this? Russell gave me the cell records and bank statements of amy's, And police couldn't find any leads to the killer.
I don't see anything that would tell us where she was.
So unless kay wakes up,we're hosed.
Wait.
Where's the rest of the,uh,cell usage info? It says amy had a smartphone,A good one,too-- g.
P.
S.
,internet.
Can russell contact the carrier? Wait.
Don't bother.
I got a buddy Over at their wireless internet group.
Al.
It's walter.
Wazzup? look,I need some usage data.
I texted over the account.
No,you're not gonna get in trouble.
yeah.
No,it's for that group.
Yeah,the network.
All right.
I owe you.
"wazzup"? Yeah,I'm bringing it back.
That was fast.
Uh,he said amy used her phone's map program four times.
He's sending over the addresses.
That's four places she went.
Let's go.
We can split 'em up.
Wazzup,indeed! here's the g.
P.
S.
Info.
Everybody grab a copy.
excuse me.
Do you know amy martin or,uh,kay sheppard? Well,kay used to work for me,until We heard about the accident.
We're very sorry.
We're with a victims' rights group.
We've been to the hospital.
It's awful.
But kay's a tough broad.
Last year she wrecked her bike, Some mini triathlon or something.
Concussion,stitches,the whole deal.
Came in at lunch instead of 7:00 a.
M.
What abo her sister? Did you meet amy? Just once,a couple of days before kay's accident.
She came to meet kay? Well,it looked like she came in to fight with her.
You know,I tried to say hello, But she just stared right through me.
And then they were out in the alley arguing For 20 minutes.
my sister looked okay, But there was that hint behind the eyes only I could see-- The denial.
And I had to stop her.
Amy was mad at kay.
Uh,do you know what it was about? Kay woul't tell me.
Amy wouldn't either.
So you talked to amy afterward? Well,she wanted the address Of kay's friend melanie,an agent here.
It wasn't really a talk.
She was making demands.
Amy was so intense.
I was afraid to say no.
Just take another look.
Amy's the one on the left.
She used her phone to find this place,keith.
Can I call you keith? Yeah.
Uh,she might've been here.
Well,do you know what she was doing,keith? I'm gonna stop ying your name now.
Uh,what she was doing here,like,what she ordered? Well,I mean,was she here to meet anyone? Good place to meet someone.
Maybe,I I don't know,sorry.
So what happened? Are they dead? Amy is.
Her sister kay is in a coma,But we think she might wake up soon.
Really wish I could help.
Yeah.
So Your address was in amy's phone.
I knew both of them.
Uh,kay was my patient,sort of.
Amy contacted me two years ago And made an appointment for kay.
Well,did you,uh Did you see amy again? Yes.
She came in to tell me she was worried about kay.
And when I told her kay had stopped therapy, She started asking about setting up an intervention.
We scheduled a session to talk about it,But amy never showed up.
So amy and her sister were close? I'm close with my sister.
Kay was like amy's mom.
After her parents died,At put amy through school And worked two jobs to pay the bills.
It's so unfair.
Did amy come to see you before kay's accident, Maybe asking about an intervention? For kay? She doesn't even drink.
But,yeah,amy stopped by.
It was weird.
Kay and ben were separated,but all amy could talk about Was some concussion kay got on her bike.
I didn't even know kay had a bike.
so amy rushes to chicago to plan an intervention for kay, But not about drugs or alcohol.
And she's asking about a concussion That kay got on her bike.
A bike we're not even sure she has.
The concussion is real.
She just got it someplace else.
So maybe this intervention is about a different kind of abuse.
Someone was hurting kay,and amy came here to stop him.
Ben-- the grieving husband? husbands lie.
And amy confronted him,so he killed her.
I'm calling russell right now.
Let's go.
why were you and kay separated? We hit a rough patch.
We staed arguing more,but we were gonna work it out.
Well,how frustrated did you get? You ever feel like hitting her? My wife is lying in a hospital bed.
I have gone broke paying for her treatment, And you're asking if I beat her? We know you beat her.
And we know what you did to amy,too.
- Hey,hey! You two,cut it out.
- Get him out of here! - ben-- - no! That's enough! You asked me to come in here because you wanted my help.
Now you accuse me? I'm not sayingnything more without a lawyer.
Sorry.
So the police are looking into ben.
What do you think? Well,I did detect some anger,but,uh,if that were a crime Who else could've abused kay and killed amy? What about someone from their past? Kay's best friend told me They came to chicago when amy was only 14.
What if they were running from a bad situation at home? Like an abusive parent.
Uh,to stay safe they might've lied about where they were from Or even changed their name.
Well,I've been looking in amarillo, And I can't find any death certificates or articles About amy's parents' drunk driving accident.
So maybe they're not actually dead? - Horsemama.
- What? Horsemama said she tracked down amy's father, But the last name was different.
Maybe she's right.
Well,let's get her over here.
Uh,well,why don't we meet her at your place? Yeah,you got the corkboard And the organic produce-- the apples,the sugar cubes.
I don't think she's actually a horse.
She could typewith her hooves.
You know what? That might explain All the spelling mistakes.
I'm gonna send her an I.
M.
sorry,lindsey.
- Hi.
Do-- - I'd like a white russian - Uh - Or a pizza roll and a fluffernutter.
Okay.
Uh,you said you found amy's father? After the next of kin alert,I googled her.
Nice binder.
Um Thank you.
There are,like,a million amy martins.
I-I could only get through the first 17,000 of them, So I got to thinking about-- Thank you.
So I started thinking about her patellar implant-- Kn-kneecap.
Um I used to work in a hospital.
Um Radiology technician.
Uh,anyway,in my career, I hadn't seen many girls that age blow out their knee, So I started searching for Female athletes named amy martin.
There was no amy martin.
So I did find a blurb About a junior high volleyball player Named amy sanders.
well,she's the right age.
And this is from joliet,just outside of chicago.
From there,it was easy.
I just called the school, said I was amy And requested a copy of my transcript.
Impersonating a high school student-- that's impressive.
this is how you got the name and address Of her father-- frank sanders.
I'm going to,uh I'm gonna call this in to russell.
Excuse me.
Thank you.
This is great.
Uh,some of your other tips have been A little harder to get a handle on.
What beers do you have on tap? None.
A good friend of mine went missing seven years ago.
The cops asked the public for help, But nobody out there knew anything.
Maybe I do send long shots But a long shot's better than no shot at all.
I have to leave now.
Good-bye.
frank sanders.
were called to your house Because kay had a broken cheekbone.
Sounds like you disciplined the hell out of them.
I didn't do that.
I was the one who called the cops.
It was one of kay's jackass boyfriends.
Hey,what's this about,anyway? Amy's dead,and kay was run down by a car.
She's been in the hospital for the last ten months.
Now if the police check your phone records and web history, Are they gonna find out you've been Looking for your daughters,frank? Last time I saw daughters was ten years ago.
I-I came home loaded,lost my temper.
I don't remember the rest.
Woke up the next day,they were gone.
Whoa.
Where are you going? I just got a text from a buddy of mine from the hospital.
"buddy"? What's her name? Curtis.
I had him check in on kay, and he says he overheard The doctor saying that her brain activity has increased.
Well,so somebody should be there in case she wakes up.
Somebody other than ben.
If he is involved,we don't want him getting to her first.
So russell called me.
The dad,frank,doesn't have an alibi.
He also doesn't se to have any idea about Anything going on with his daughters.
But he's still a suspect,right,along with the husband? The police can't find any evidence against ben either.
What about the ex-boyfriend frank told us about-- The one that roughed her up? Did russell ever track him down? He was a juvenile,so his records are probably sealed, And frank can't remember his name.
Look when we got their real last names, I started Searching for pictures of amy and kay sanders, And I found one of kay with an old boyfriend.
W-wait.
I just saw that guy.
H-h-his name's,uh,keith.
Where was keith? He owns the coffee shop.
I don't think amy was going there to meet anyone.
I think she was going there to confront keith.
Maybe the guy that was abusing kay.
when she tolme keith was back in her life, I could feel the anger building in me-- Anger And fear.
We're looking for keith gibson.
Sorry,keith took the day off.
I,uh Told keith about kay, When I was trying to find out if he remembered her.
He knows she could be waking up.
And if kay wakes up,She can tell everyone about what he did to her and amy.
We gotta get to the hospital.
- hey.
- Hey.
I'm a friend of kay's.
How is s? Well,she's not awake yet.
But it could happen.
Do you think I could get a minute alone with her? - Yeah,sure,man.
- Thanks.
Hey,alex.
Alex? Sorry,the signal's really bad in here.
This will only take a second.
Alex? The trach tube! Get the trach tube.
Are you okay? come on.
He's not talking.
But we found proof he was in contact with kay.
When kay left joliet,she kept an old e-mail address.
He was writing to her? D kay answered right after she and ben were separated.
let me gueps.
He told her he'd changed.
And it looks like she believed him.
growing up,kay was always the strong one.
When we were little,she protected me from our father.
He made her feel worthless, So she found men who treated her the same way.
- kay,where do you think you're going? - amy! - Stay there! Stayre! - keith was what she knew, What she thought she deserved.
And that last day, I finally convinced her to leave him.
Kay! Get back here.
Sot'hat's it,right? He's going away for what he did to them? After today,at least we got attempted murder.
He could end up doing 25 years.
now someone knows my story.
And maybe what happened can't be proven today, But it will Because one day,myter will wake up And she'll tell you everything.
She'll tell you how I died.
But more than that She'll tell you how we lived, How we fought for each other, How she saved me all those times.
And when it was my turn, I saved her.
You can run from the past, But sometimes the only way to move on Is to go back-- To face what your life was So you can make it what you want it to be.
It's my time to move on.
My name is amy sanders.
