Without a Trace s02e11 Episode Script

Hey, Brian.
Hey, Scott.
What the hell are you doing here? Same thing you are.
Randall Corey, right? Yeah, right.
Of course.
What, you think you were getting an exclusive on this? There's already a dozen guys here.
Guys on the front door, guys in the back guys on the loading dock.
- Any sightings of him yet? - No.
If I just got hitched to a fine piece of tail like that I'd be staying in my room, too.
Am I right? What I would give to get a wide angle into that room maybe catch him sucking on her toes.
- I mean, that would sell, right? - Yeah, that'd be a big seller, Scott.
They're here.
Come on! - This way! - Right here! Brian, come on! - How nice of you to join us! - Unbelievable.
I came up the FDR, thinking I'd have a straight shot.
Completely backed up.
There's too many freaking people in this town.
Now there may be one less.
Brian Owen.
38 years old.
His ex-wife reported him missing when he didn't pick up their kid for the weekend.
Delinquent dad? Doesn't sound like our business.
According to her, he never misses a pick-up.
No sign of him at home.
Not answering his phone.
He's not returning pages.
She's worried as hell.
- Is this the last place he was seen? - Him, and eight other paparazzi.
You're kidding.
I battled cross-town traffic for a missing paparazzi? Yeah, they were here taking pictures of Randall Corey.
He's a basketball player.
He just got married, right? - Somebody's reading the tabloids.
- Yeah, right.
So can we talk with him? No.
He's out of the country on his honeymoon.
- That's why the paparazzi was here.
- Nice.
And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why we are here.
NYPD found it in the alley.
Lens is cracked, there's blood on it, and the smart card is missing.
Whatever pictures he took, someone wanted them.
So what's so special about Brian Owen? Well, he's the only one who snuck into the alley.
Maybe he saw something he shouldn't have.
He has a good eye.
These are the only personal items around.
Maybe he wasn't planning on sticking around for too long.
- Hello? - Hi.
I'm Special Agent Jack Malone from the FBI.
This is Special Agent Johnson.
- Rachel Owen.
We spoke on the phone.
- Hi.
This is my daughter, Jessica.
There's something she needs to tell you.
My dad and I were just walking across the street This was last week.
Yeah.
Last week.
And this guy started yelling at us Hey, Brian.
How you doing? I do feel like some ice cream.
Let's go.
Come on.
- Dad, what's wrong? - Don't walk away from me! This your girl? You proud of your old man? You know what he does for a living? He wrecks people's lives.
- Back off.
- You're telling me to back off? - This is too much.
- Dad, come on.
This is a public street, right? And I can do whatever I want on a public street! - It's okay.
- You like your dad? How would you like it if you never saw him again? That is enough! It's not nearly enough! Not nearly! He was really angry.
- He had to be the one that took my dad.
- I have no idea who he was, but obviously, with what Brian does, you never know.
You know, we've been searching for Brian's most recent work.
Contact sheets, negatives, smart cards.
Can't seem to find anything.
You wouldn't know where he kept them, would you? Most of his older work is still at the house and I really wouldn't know about anything recent.
- Well, he keeps the CDs in the kitchen.
- You wanna show me where? Okay.
Have you noticed any changes in Brian recently? Has he been troubled about work or family? No.
But he's a very internal person.
He holds stuff in.
That's one of our issues.
You're in counseling? We're separated, but we're trying to work things out.
He even talked about getting out of the celebrity business.
We checked his phone records.
He made a couple of calls to The Chronicle last week.
Do you think he was trying to do something a bit more Respectable? - Yeah.
- Maybe.
He has a friend there.
Mark Hiroshi.
They used to work together overseas.
You know, he didn't always do this.
When I met him, he was a real photojournalist.
He hides them? That's what he thinks.
He doesn't like me looking at them.
This is great.
Thank you.
What about this? This photo.
Who took this photo? Did you take it? No, I don't know who took that.
Dad doesn't like having his picture taken.
Do you mind if I hang onto it? - As long as you get him back.
- I'll do my best.
- Live by the sword, die by the sword.
- What's that? I'm just thinking, you know, this guy made a living sticking his telephoto where it didn't belong.
Maybe it finally caught up with him.
Come on, Martin.
He's just a part of the machine.
Celebrities, publicists, tabloids.
Us.
- Us? - Sure.
If we didn't buy the magazines that print the pictures, they couldn't sell them.
The whole thing's sleazy to me.
Brian's tear sheets from the past six months.
The man was busy.
Some paps just handle red carpets.
Some work inside the event.
Brian is a hunter.
He gets the shots no one else can.
- Yeah? Like what? - Brad and Jen's honeymoon.
On the beach in lbiza? - What? I saw it in a checkout stand.
- That was Brian.
- So when was the last time you saw him? - Thursday.
- I was waiting for pictures of Mikra.
- Mikra? - The supermodel.
- Yeah, right.
She's six months pregnant.
Love child with the lead guitarist of Roadkill.
Rumor has it she's as big as a house.
A picture of her fat would be a hot seller.
- I got her.
- Fantastic.
Where are they? - I'm gonna do the selects first.
- What's there to select? She's fat.
And as long as we see her ass - Please.
Tell me she's huge.
- Glen.
There's more important things than embarrassing a pregnant supermodel.
- Is there a problem? - No, everything's fine.
Just tell me something.
How fat is she? She's enormous.
She devoured an entire chicken in one sitting.
- So he never sent you the photos? - No.
Is there a possibility that he might have been selling them to somebody else? He's under an exclusive contract with me.
And Brian's not the kind of guy who would do that.
Maybe he was thinking about getting into a different line of work.
They all have a pang every now and again, but they always come back.
It's show biz.
And for Brian it's the thrill of the hunt.
He went to the hotel to cover Randall Corey, didn't he? Yes.
He did.
All right, that's it.
Take five.
Excuse me.
Do you gentlemen have passes? FBI.
- Pete McCann? - Yes, sir.
You were at the Parkside Hotel two days ago.
- Working a job.
So what? - Do you know Brian Owen? - Who the hell is Brian Owen? - Does this look familiar? It should, because we found your prints all over it right next to Brian Owen's blood.
Any idea how your prints got there? Look.
We were on our way back to the hotel for the night and we used the side entrance because all the parasites were out front.
But there he was.
- You were checking her out! - Baby, she wanted an autograph! - You signed her breast! - Come on.
What's the big deal? Who's that? Great.
More paparazzi.
- Don't just stand there! Go do something! - Randy, I got it.
- Sir, I'm gonna need that film, please.
- Say what? - I need your film, sir.
- You need my film for what? - I haven't even taken any pictures - It's been a long night, sir.
- Don't touch my camera, okay? - Let me have the film, sir.
Give me the film! Now get the hell out of here! Yeah, you better run.
So that's the last time you ever saw him? It's like what Jack Nicholson said in that movie: "You know what happens to nosy people.
" That was Polanski.
Nicholson got his nose cut.
- Where's the smart card? - Excuse me? Where is the smart card to the camera? I told you.
I threw the camera down and left it there.
I don't know anything about a smart card.
I talked to Randall Corey and his wife.
They back up the bodyguard's story.
How are you doing with all this? This is all of Brian's work over the past year.
We've divided them up according to degree of scandal.
Everything from Natalie Portman sunbathing topless to Charles Barkley in a bar fight.
Even a one-hit wonder I've never heard of getting arrested at an environmental protest.
There is also a handful of photos, most of them very recent that he never turned in.
Who knows? Maybe he was growing a conscience.
Who knows? Maybe he was going into business for himself and ransoming some of his photos back to the stars.
Well, I have his bank account here.
According to this he's made several large cash deposits over the last three months.
His agency always pays by check.
If your theory's correct, who would the candidates for blackmail be? We haven't found any photos of the pregnant supermodel and he was reluctant to give them back to his agent - so maybe she paid up.
- Maybe.
This is Tristan Reese.
- Who's that? - He was on George's Place.
Sitcom? Here.
This is the photo that outed him when it hit the tabloids.
It was a family show.
The advertisers went nuts and the producers wrote him off the show.
He went downhill fast.
Drugs, depression, rehab, relapse, whole thing.
- All right, let's bring him in.
- Well, we can't.
He died three weeks ago.
Accidental overdose.
- What about the boyfriend? - Eric Larson.
He was all over the news, too.
Jessica, I need you to have a good look at that man.
Tell me if you recognize him.
Yeah.
That's him.
The one that yelled at my dad on the street.
You sure? No doubt.
Would you mind waiting in reception for a few minutes? Of course.
I want you to get a warrant.
I want you to turn this guy's place inside out in under an hour.
All right.
We recovered these from your apartment.
You wanna tell us why you were stalking Brian Owen? You went inside my house? You guys are worse than the paparazzi.
At least they don't go inside your house and turn your life upside down.
That's right.
- Who's the woman? - I don't know.
This is the only time I saw the two of them together, but clearly, they were involved.
Everyone has secrets.
I figured I'd expose his.
- So you sent copies of these to his wife.
- Yeah.
I figured if she knew about the other woman - then I could inflict some pain on him.
- Did he confront you? The nerve of this guy.
He comes knocking on my door a few days after I ran into him on the street.
- Hi.
I just wanna talk.
- We have nothing to talk about.
Please.
I wanted to apologize about what happened to Tristan.
What happened? He didn't get struck by lightning.
You killed him.
You put that needle in his arm.
I am so sorry.
If I thought that would happen That's just it.
You don't think.
You go around, you take those photos of people, and you never consider that I hope you rot in hell.
For what it's worth, I'm getting out of the business.
Yeah, what happened? Did you get a taste of your own medicine? I guess your wife liked those photos.
What photo? - You took those? - Now you know what it feels like.
Wait.
Please.
I am sorry.
You know, he seemed surprised that it was me.
But I guess it could've been anyone he burned who sent those photos.
- So where were you last Friday night? - I was at home.
- Alone? - Yeah.
I was on the phone all night.
You can check for yourself.
We will.
Who is this woman? I don't know.
I've never seen her before.
Who took these? Where did they come from? Is there any possibility that Brian was romantically involved with her? No, we were trying to patch things up.
Brian was trying a lot harder than I was.
Who took these? The same person that put them in your mailbox last week.
I swear to God, I've never seen them before.
I don't know who she is.
Well, she may be the key to finding your husband.
If you would excuse me for a minute.
- Hey, Jessica.
- Hey.
- Is my mom in trouble? - No.
She's just trying to help us find your dad.
We're gonna need your help, too.
I need you to look at this.
Tell me if you've seen them before.
But you have to tell the truth.
You have to be honest.
It came in the mail.
I usually pick it up after school.
You open your mom's mail? They weren't in an envelope.
They were just laying there.
- Did you show them to your mom? - No.
I just threw them away.
I didn't wanna make her upset.
Did you talk to your dad about them? Come on, Jessica.
We have a deal.
You have to tell me the truth.
But he told me not to tell anyone.
No matter what.
Honey, these are just pictures, okay? They don't tell the whole story.
- This woman is a friend of mine.
- Then why is she holding you like that? Listen to me.
I love your mother, and I love you and the only thing I want is for us to be together again as a family.
- Who is she? - I'm working with her on something.
Then why did someone send them to us? - Who took these pictures? - You know what? I don't know.
But I don't want you to talk about these with anyone, okay? Nobody.
Not your mom, not anyone, no matter what.
Promise me, Jess.
It's very important.
- Okay.
I promise.
- Okay.
Good.
Thank you, Jessica.
You did the right thing.
Pretty intimate photo.
An old friend, maybe a lover.
- She's wearing a wedding ring.
- Maybe she has a jealous husband.
Did you happen to notice the address? - 4022 Third Avenue.
- The McLaughlin Building.
I suggest you start at the top, and make your way down.
Jack, it's 55 flights.
Wear comfortable shoes.
Afraid I can't help you.
Never seen her before and Brian never mentioned that he was seeing someone.
But then again, I wouldn't necessarily be the guy he'd tell.
- So you're not real close.
- We were, eight, ten years ago.
We had some amazing times back then.
Middle East.
North Africa.
Balkans.
We were gonna change the world.
You get nominated for a Pulitzer, he ends up working for the tabloids.
How's that happen? He had a family to support.
I guess his priorities changed.
A picture of a celebrity on the red carpet is worth a lot more than a starving kid in Africa.
Is that why you lost touch? His work made him bitter.
It's hard to be around someone who doesn't really like himself.
But he's called you a lot lately, right? Yeah, he resurfaced out of the blue.
It was kind of strange.
He was wound up about some research he wanted me to do.
This is great stuff.
This is fantastic.
Thank you.
So what's so enthralling about toxic waste and cancer? It's nothing.
It's just something I'm working on.
You're all right, aren't you? Well, there's a lot wrong with me, but no, thank you, I do not have cancer.
Then what's going on? It's not something I can really talk about just yet.
You're onto something, aren't you? I tell you I just wanna do something good, you know, for a change.
I'll be in touch, okay? Thanks a lot.
I think the business with that actor really took a lot out of him.
I got the feeling that this other thing he was working on was helping him find his way again.
What was the research about, specifically? Silica and heavy metals, and their links to cancer.
- But you didn't press him on any further? - No.
No, it was his thing, and I didn't wanna jinx it.
Now that he's missing, though I wonder if he wasn't trying to protect me.
Eric Larson's alibi checked out.
He was on the phone all night.
Friend he was talking to confirmed it.
If you're looking for Natalie Portman, she's hanging over at Danny's cubicle.
Why am I not surprised? I'm actually looking for a photo of an environmental protest.
It's around here someplace.
Any word on the mystery woman? Danny called from that skyscraper.
No one recognizes her, and his feet are very tired.
Here we go.
This is a Planet Rescue protest.
Okay.
And Brian was researching industrial pollution, and this is an environmental protest so there could be some connection.
- Do you know where it was taken? - No, I'm not sure.
It says here that he shot it three months ago.
What do you know about Planet Rescue? I don't know.
It's kind of like Greenpeace, isn't it? I don't know.
Let's find out.
Hey, Martin I think I just found our mystery woman.
- You're kidding.
- No.
Look at this.
- That's her, right? Look.
- It sure is.
These guys certainly aren't Greenpeace.
They're under investigation by the Bureau.
What kind of investigation? Domestic terrorism.
Her name's Melinda Guthrie.
Local head of Planet Rescue.
What's your interest in her? The guy in the picture with her is missing.
You know him? - No, what's his name? - Brian Owen.
Sorry.
Never heard of him.
How long have you guys had Planet Rescue under surveillance? About six months.
These your kids, Jack? - Man, they are growing up fast.
- Yes, they are.
What happened six months ago? That firebombing outside of Farmingdale.
You think that was Planet Rescue? Well, it looks that way.
Haven't been able to prove anything yet.
I thought they were a legit organization.
You know, civil disobedience, tree-sitting, that kind of thing.
There's a faction within the group that's become impatient more aggressive.
Arson, vandalism.
- Whatever gets their point across.
- You think Melinda Guthrie's part of that? As far as we can tell, she's the leader.
Do you know where we can find her? I'd like to observe if you're gonna bring her in.
Sure.
So the FBI has nothing better to do than to follow us around taking pictures? - Like we're the terrorists? - Please, Miss Guthrie.
The real terrorists are the factories polluting our water, our air.
Our land.
Miss Guthrie, please shut up and get off the pulpit.
I'm just trying to find out where Brian Owen is.
I don't know.
I haven't seen him since your picture was taken last week.
What's your relationship with him? I was sleeping with him.
This picture is me breaking up with him, okay? Does your husband know about it? As a matter of fact, he does.
- That's why I broke it off with Brian.
- How'd you meet Brian? He was covering one of our protests.
I thought he was cute.
That one? You guys are good.
Where was that picture taken? It was at a foundry up in Ashton.
- What were you guys protesting? - Nothing much.
Everything up there is just perfect.
It's just us granola types causing trouble for American industry.
Do you think this is funny? Do you think this is a joke? What's a joke is this country's environmental policy.
Do you have any idea how many environmental safeguards Miss Guthrie, I am aware that you are not a big fan of the American government right now, but we are just trying to ascertain the whereabouts of Brian Owen.
Are you gonna charge me with something? What'd I tell you? Barrel of laughs, right? You don't have anything that we can hold her on, do you? She always gives you just enough to keep you looking but never enough to hang herself.
- Well, thanks for trying, Mike.
- Pleasure.
- Jack? - Yeah.
If you come up with anything, you'll let me know, right? Sure.
She was never sleeping with Owen.
No, I think she was covering up something bigger.
I need you and Sam to go up to Ashton, look around.
- I'm gonna see who owns the foundry.
- All right.
I'm sorry to have kept you waiting.
Cameron T.
Simms, general counsel for Wyland Industries.
I take it you've met my associates.
Tell you what, I'd trade all three of your lawyers for one Hugo Wyland.
I'm sorry.
Unfortunately, Mr.
Wyland has a meeting today in Philadelphia.
- I understand you're looking for someone.
- Yes.
It's a photographer named Brian Owen.
Sorry, I don't recognize him.
He was photographing a protest at your Ashton facility.
Any idea what they were protesting? Take your pick.
Air pollution, water pollution, land pollution everything's pollution with these people.
If Planet Rescue had their way, we'd all be living off the land and hunting with bows and arrows.
That may be the case, but you still haven't answered my question.
What, specifically, were they protesting at the Ashton facility? They claim that heavy metals and silica from our foundry leaked into the groundwater.
We have spent tens of millions of dollars upgrading all of our facilities over the past five years.
There's no satisfying these people.
And they won't be happy until we're out of business.
This is obviously a very sensitive topic for you.
Their whole agenda is to go after the biggest fish they can find no matter what the evidence shows.
Wyland Industries, and Mr.
Wyland in particular has a long record of philanthropy and community involvement.
And we care deeply for the people in the towns where we do business.
So, the people at the hospital told you about my son? No.
It was one of the other patients.
- Twenty-six.
- What's that? There are 26 children with cancer from that foundry.
Yeah, we saw some of them at the hospital.
We understand that you're very close with some people from Planet Rescue.
Yeah.
That's right.
They've been unbelievable.
Particularly Brian Owen.
We met Brian at a protest rally.
He and Shawn kind of hit it off.
Brian would visit whenever he was in town.
And how often was that? Couple times a week.
Shawn took this.
It was the day of the rally, and it started raining and so we came back here.
- Hold still, handsome.
- No, not like this.
I look like a ghost.
No, you look great.
In a few years, you'll be breaking hearts all over town.
What kind of camera is that? - It's digital.
- Like a computer.
Yeah, no film.
See? The pictures are all stored in here.
- Can I try? - Sure.
What are you doing? Not of me.
You don't wanna take a picture of me.
I'm nobody.
Shoot your mom.
Stop it.
Kid, you're fired.
- You, paparazzi.
Get the heck out of here.
- Come on.
In a few years, you'll be breaking hearts all over town.
Get out of here.
Shawn swam in that river every day during the summer.
You just assume that you can trust things, you know? Big company they're supposed to be safe about the way that they operate.
He was only 10.
I know this is difficult for you.
Brian is one of the few people who really cares about what's going on up here.
The reason we're here, Mrs.
Wilson Brian's been missing for three days.
What? Do you have any idea if he was doing anything else up here other than taking pictures of the protest? He was taking pictures of the foundry.
- He was trying to stop Wyland.
- From polluting.
Yeah.
He got the proof.
He was gonna stop Wyland from poisoning our children.
Well, I guess we were wrong about him.
- You mean, I was wrong about him.
- Listen.
If he's going after Wyland, he's messing with some powerful people who have a hell of a lot to lose.
What's one less paparazzi in the world? Who's gonna care about that? Viv.
You know, personally, I prefer The Times.
This is Mikra, the supermodel Brian photographed.
I thought he didn't turn these in.
According to his agency, another photographer turned this in.
But, come on, two pictures of her scarfing down fried chicken like that? What are the odds? These have to be Brian's.
- Did you take that picture? - Yeah.
Where? Stephen's Talkhouse, East Hampton, Long Island.
See, that's funny, because Mikra's representatives told us that this picture was taken at Brother Tommy's in Quogue.
You didn't take that picture.
Brian Owen took that picture.
You took the smart card out of the camera the night he disappeared which means Title 18, 1001, Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure.
You lied to a federal officer.
Around here, that's a pretty big deal.
And not telling us that Brian got beat up by that bodyguard Title 18, section 4.
- Concealing evidence of a felony.
- I'm not in trouble, am I? Viv, how much do you wanna make a bet that the third set of prints we found on that camera are his? What? Suspicion of a 187? - Kaching.
Homicide.
- Fine, all right, you got me.
Okay? All right, I was at the hotel that night, and Brian was there.
He was there late, so I thought he was onto something big.
So I followed him.
- Sir, I'm gonna need that film, please.
- What are you talking about? - I haven't even taken any pictures, man.
- It's been a long night Don't touch my camera, okay? Now get the hell out of here! Yeah, you better run! When the coast was clear, I took the card.
That's not a crime.
It was just laying there on the ground.
- Where is the smart card now? - I got it at home.
- I'm gonna go get it for you.
- Sit down.
Did you see the car he was following? Yes, I did.
It was a black Mercedes.
I don't remember the type.
And you're sure he wasn't just running from the bodyguard.
No, he wasn't running from anybody.
He was running after the car.
He was chasing whoever was in the car.
We've double-checked the hotel registry.
No other celebrities, and no one related to Wyland Industries or the EPA.
- Did you run the credit card? - Yes.
We're running receipts from the hotel restaurant - the bar, thank you, and the gift shop.
- Great.
- Hi.
- What did we get from the smart card? Well, other than our supermodel, I got these.
Who the hell's that? Do you see the Wyland logo? I had the DOD send over a satellite image of the Ashton foundry.
They match up.
This is the waste-processing facility right here, behind him.
Our friend at Wyland said they spent millions upgrading the facility.
They upgraded the foundry and increased production by 500% but the waste-treatment capacity is still the same.
So where's all the extra waste going? Take a look at these photos in sequence.
Right.
- He's opening the valve.
- Which would explain the rain.
When these storm drains are full, nobody's gonna notice a few thousand gallons of untreated waste in the runoff.
Wyland's dumping, and Brian knew it.
Yeah, so? These guys are dumping untreated waste into the town's storm drains and all you've got to say is "Yeah, so?" Is that what these photos are? Then you should call the EPA.
I'm sure they'd be helpful.
You know damn well what they are.
And you hired Brian to take them.
- I don't remember that at all.
- Come on.
Why don't you think about this, Miss Guthrie? Brian was onto something.
And these photographs were enough to make Wyland Industries nervous.
Maybe even enough to make them reckless.
You know, you may not give a crap about Brian Owen but I know for a fact you'd really like to nail Hugo Wyland.
You think you can get Hugo Wyland? If you even get close how long do you think it'll take before you get a call from Washington telling you to back off? I take it you don't wanna end up in some field office in Podunk, right? Actually, I hear Podunk's quite nice in the spring.
Come on.
Try us, Miss Guthrie.
What do you got to lose? Okay.
I wasn't sleeping with Brian.
I hired him to break into Wyland's foundry, and take the pictures to support a petition we filed with the EPA.
Bastards.
What, they're not gonna do a damn thing? They're the EPA.
What did you think they were gonna do? I don't know.
Protect the environment, maybe? You're naive, Brian.
We file petitions for review, they take them under advisement and nothing ever happens.
So what the hell did you hire me for, then? Why the hell do we bother? I did it to appease the rest of my group.
That's the game that I play.
Wait a minute.
You're telling me you used me to show them the whole thing is futile.
You know, this is great.
I'm just gonna take the pictures to the press.
- I got a friend at The Chronicle.
- Yeah.
And it'll end up buried on Page 9.
Right next to some story about a corrupt election or an accounting scam.
And you know what will happen? - Absolutely nothing.
- So what do we do? We stop playing games.
Okay, you know what? I'm in.
You're a good man, Brian.
But this is out of your league.
Melinda, I wouldn't count on that.
If there's one thing I know, it's how to get to people.
I don't know exactly what he was setting out to do, but I do know he was serious.
I just didn't count on him getting so invested in what we were doing.
It was personal.
This guy was trying to turn his life around.
- Got him.
- Got who? The big fish.
So, Mr.
Wyland, you're a drinking man.
Do you like gin and tonics? Occasionally I have a drink.
Yes.
How about banana daiquiris? That's what you had last Friday at the Parkside Hotel.
Two gin and tonics.
Two banana daiquiris.
Odd combination.
Or were you with someone? Is it a crime to have a couple of drinks with an associate? Do you know this man? - No.
- You ought to.
He works at your foundry.
Almost 20,000 people work for me.
Yes, but this particular man is emptying untreated waste into a storm drain.
- I can assure you, that's completely - Against company policy.
Yes, I know.
Now, we all know how it works.
This man took his orders from the plant manager who takes his orders from some mid-level executive who takes his orders from some junior vice president who takes his orders from God knows how many people that will eventually lead back to you.
You said we were here because of some Missing Persons case.
The man we're looking for, Brian Owen was last seen following your Mercedes from the hotel.
- I don't know anything about that.
- Of course you don't.
Where did you go when you left the hotel? I went to my cabin upstate.
I spent the entire weekend there.
- With your associate? - Yes.
With my associate.
Then I came back on Sunday to attend a charity event with my wife.
Where's this cabin? The car's unlocked, and it seems like most of his stuff is here.
Probably walked the rest of the way.
Didn't wanna tip them off.
According to the locals, Wyland's cabin is right up that ridge.
It's about a quarter mile.
They just came back from there.
They said it's all locked up.
- Any sign of foul play? - None.
If Wyland did anything to Brian, he would have gotten rid of the car.
So where the hell is Brian? Where do you go if you wanna take a picture of someone in that cabin? Let's spread out.
Hey, guys.
Brian Owen! Can you hear me? Mr.
Owen, this is the FBI! We are here to help! Brian Owen! Brian! Hey, man.
Brian.
How about some water? - Yes, some water.
- Here you go.
Hey, take it easy.
Here you go.
My name's Martin Fitzgerald.
I'm with the FBI.
- We're gonna get you out of here.
- FBI? - I tell you, you're a hard man to find.
- Camera.
- What's that? - Camera.
Hey, take it easy.
It's right here.
I'll get it for you.
- There you go, buddy.
- Thank you.
- As promised.
- Thank you, Jack.
They were able to save Brian Owen's leg.
- He's gonna be all right.
- Good work.
Thanks.
- What did Carter have to say for himself? - Nothing much.
You know, life goes on.
Brian Owen's on his list now.
I don't think Brian will have a problem with that.
It's probably a step up from where he was.
So what are we gonna do about Wyland and the foundry? Martin, this case is closed.
We got the call from Washington.
You know people there.
Make some calls.
So Guthrie's right.
Wyland's untouchable.
People don't care about the families up in Ashton.
You know what? What goes around comes around.
Wyland will get his eventually.
You know Brian managed to get some shots of Wyland and his mistress.
Now, what good is this gonna do? It's a privately held company.
If Wyland were to get divorced, he might lose controlling interest.
I think Brian knew that.
Yeah, it's still extortion, even if it's for a good cause.
Well, you can't arrest somebody for something they might do and legally, he had a right to take those pictures.
He was on public property.
I checked the weather report for Ashton.
It's supposed to rain this weekend.
Heavy.
Better give these pictures back to Brian.
