Without a Trace s03e23 Episode Script

Endgame

Black with two sugars.
Thanks, Kevin.
Oh, and look at this.
Paper, not Styrofoam.
See? I remembered.
Doesn't that give me some points? No.
But I'm impressed with your sensitivity.
I'm a sensitive man, Paige.
It never stops with you, does it? We are who we are, right? I guess.
Paige, what's the matter? Mr.
McCready, where's Paige? She said she needed some air.
Mr.
Ricker, your assistant said you met with Detective Bowman from N.
Y.
P.
D? He was here to talk to Paige.
What did he want to talk to her about? Well, he just said it was a routine inquiry.
Is Paige in any trouble you know of? I didn't think so.
But her roommate said she didn't come home.
Then police showing up How long has she been at Info Merge? Two years.
She has been super reliable.
What does she do here, exactly? Data analysis.
We gather market records on over So I have you to thank for all the junk mail.
Probably, though direct mail's just part of the business.
Martin, can I speak to you? Yeah.
Excuse me for a sec.
I just got off the phone with the N.
Y.
P.
D.
Personnel department.
They've never heard of a Detective Bowman.
He doesn't exist.
Yeah, that was the guy.
I heard he was a cop.
You ever seen him before? No, but Paige seemed pretty wigged out by him.
Man, I hope she's okay.
How well do you know Paige? Been working together for six months.
Any more to it than that? No, I'm not her type.
Too shallow.
That's an honest admission.
So, what's her type? Put it this way, she's a do gooder.
Into Greenpeace, Amnesty.
She'd like to teach the world to sing.
How does she square that working this place? I think Paige was an activist back in college then figured it wasn't going to pay the rent.
But she did feel like a sellout.
It came to a head a few months ago.
Okay, the makers of Fit N Thin Miracle Fat Eliminator are looking for 10 million customers.
Ready for the parameters? Yeah.
Females, 25 to 49.
Single or divorced.
Caucasian.
Why just white women? Because as a group, they tend to be more unhappy with their bodies.
So we're targeting overweight women.
Of course we are.
It's Fit N Thin.
All this information, this great technology, to hawk diet pills.
Come on, Paige.
Not again.
There are kids going hungry.
There are people without health care.
There are schools without textbooks.
And we're doing this? You left out global warming.
Doesn't it ever bother you? It's a paycheck, not my life.
Or yours.
You volunteer, donate.
Unlike me, you make a difference.
Not enough of one.
Not even close.
I think you just need to get laid.
That is your solution to everything.
A few weeks later, she was like a new person.
All mellowed out.
She looked better too.
What, you think she took your advice? Oh, I know she did.
So who's she seeing? No idea.
I'd tease her about it, but she wouldn't give up his name.
Good morning, Vivian.
How you feeling? Ready to get this over with.
Excellent.
I just wanna walk you through the plan.
Okay.
The nurses will prep you in 10 minutes.
Then at noon they'll take you down to the OR.
I'll go in, thin out some muscle tissue, which should improve heart function.
When will she be out of surgery? The myectomy takes about three hours.
Then another one or two to wrap up, so I'd say about 5 p.
m.
The last time we spoke, you said that during surgery my heart would be stopped.
Well, you don't want it beating when I'm in there trying to cut.
Well, how long does that last? An hour, tops.
So for that hour, I'll be dead? No.
Like I explained, the bypass machine will be pumping your blood.
Then when I'm finished working on the heart we just start it right back up again.
I've done a lot of these procedures, Vivian.
You're in great hands.
Hey, so this coffee vendor thought he saw Paige come out of the lobby and hop into a yellow cab.
Well, that really narrows it down.
Yeah.
I got some agents contacting some of the dispatchers.
Get them to distribute a whole bunch of pictures to train stations, the Transit Authority and the airports.
Yeah, I'm on it.
Are you heading back? Yeah.
I gotta stop on the way.
I'll catch you.
All right, see you there.
All right, good.
I've never seen him.
Did he do something to Paige? Why did he show up at her work? We don't know yet.
Did she have any enemies, anyone she was afraid of? Nothing like that.
Did anyone call her sister in Cincinnati? Yeah, she's flying in today.
I'm gonna look through her computer.
Anything you need.
Okay.
We heard she was dating someone.
Yes, starting a few months ago.
She was really into this guy.
It was the happiest I've seen her.
What's his name? She wouldn't tell me.
Why not? She was just really secretive about him.
I figured he was married.
Never seen him? Never come to the apartment? Not while I'm here.
Then again, I'm out of town three weeks a month.
I work in property management.
You know this guy? Do you have any idea who he is? No clue.
You know, just before she went missing, Paige made a call to a Julia Gomez.
Do you know who that is? A high school kid that Paige is mentoring.
She's a real tough cookie.
Paige been having problems with her? Kind of.
A week ago, Julia came over.
She was in major trouble.
Julia, I need you to calm down.
Look, I know I messed up.
Please, just don't be mad at me.
I'm not mad at you, Julia, okay? I just need to know a little bit more.
How far along are you? The nurse at the clinic said eight weeks.
I mean, I can't raise a kid.
But I can't get rid of it, either.
I don't believe in that.
What about adoption? That won't work.
What does the father think? Have you talked to him? He told me to get an abortion.
Julia, he can't make you do any Look, he said he'd kill me if I didn't.
Who is this guy? He's a cop.
I think he's married.
Oh, Julia.
He'd go nuts if he even knew I was here.
Okay.
Do you know if she told Paige the cop's name? I don't know, but Paige is really devoted to that girl.
Knowing her, she didn't let it go.
Excuse me.
I have to get this.
Maybe Julia's cop boyfriend is the guy that went to go visit Paige at work.
Julia Gomez? Yeah? I'm Special Agent Taylor.
This is Special Agent Spade.
We're with the FBI.
Well, what's this all about? The man in this photo.
Is this your boyfriend? Look, I've never seen this guy.
Yeah, well, this guy was after Paige Hobson, and now she's missing.
Missing? We know she called you.
What about? She said she just needed to come by.
And then when I saw her, I knew something was up.
Paige, what's going on? I just wanted to see you.
Don't we get together next weekend? Julia, you're having a baby.
You need to quit.
Look, this is for you, okay? For your baby.
You can open it later.
You're bailing on me, aren't you? I'm not bailing on you, Julia.
I'm only leaving because I have to.
But why? I love you, okay? You're gonna do great things.
Where are you going? I can't talk about it.
Paige, wait! Please don't tell anyone you saw me, okay? It was 50,000 bucks.
The money, and then her leaving like that I mean, I didn't know what to do.
Everything was wrong.
I was afraid if I called the cops, I might get her in worse trouble.
Where's the money now? It's under my mattress.
We're gonna need it.
Look, I don't care about the money.
I just want Paige back.
Hey.
What are you doing here? I just stopped by to wish you luck.
I told you I didn't want any visitors.
You think I want you to see me like this? You know, I'm really sorry.
I didn't think it through.
I just wanted you to know that I was thinking about you, and I didn't mean to barge in.
I'm sorry.
Three o'clock.
What? That's when they'll be working on my heart.
Okay.
Take care.
I got the story on the cop Julia gave us.
He's in the clear on Paige, but Internal Affairs is all over him.
Okay, well, we caught a break on the 50K.
From the serial numbers? The bands around the cash.
We tracked it to a bank account belonging to a Sara Reynolds.
Yeah, I'm here.
Okay, give it to me.
Balance of $250,000.
Who is this Sara Reynolds? We're about to find out.
I just got her license number.
That's Paige Hobson.
Yeah.
She gets around.
I'll say.
Two hundred and fifty grand, a secret boyfriend.
Which might explain this.
Taylor.
Now, I can't find anything on her computer.
She has security software that wipes everything out of her hard drive.
The only thing I did find was this photo on her desktop.
Here.
She has pictures of that guy at her place.
Paige's sister just got here.
You guys wanna take her? Yeah, why not? Does this man look familiar to you? His name is Adisa Teno.
They met in Africa.
In Makeba.
And when was that? About four years ago.
Paige went there right after college to work for a relief organization but she got out before all the unrest started.
Do you know if she's seen Adisa recently? I didn't think so until about two weeks ago.
I was in town for business.
I stopped by her place, and he was there.
So when did you get into town? Two months ago.
Two months? Paige, you never even said anything.
Well, I wanted to keep him to myself.
It's been four years.
We had a lot of catching up to do.
Indeed we did.
So you'll be staying in the United States? What about Makeba? I'm not welcome in my country.
Oh, why is that? Don't you know what's going on there? What's happening to his people? I thought they elected a new president.
Well, General Gamba is still the one in charge.
Blood's in the streets thanks to his death squads.
It's pretty much famine, disease and tyranny, 24/7.
Please, shall we change the subject? Know what the drug companies do? Drug companies like the one I'm with? They're overcharging for AIDS medication.
They're doing experimental drug trials on kids.
On kids, Beth.
And you're on a moral high ground at Info Merge? Well, at least I'm trying to help.
Ladies, please.
Let's not talk politics.
Let's have a glass of wine and get to know one another.
When we had a moment alone, I asked her if he was after her for a green card.
She said they were in love.
But you had a bad feeling about him? Paige is a sucker for strays.
Even when we were kids, she would always rescue them no matter how many times they bit her.
Anything from Beth Hobson? Paige's boyfriend.
His name is Adisa Teno.
Adisa Teno.
Okay, I'll run that down.
Tech really hit the jackpot with Paige's work computer.
She downloaded over a million consumer records.
Names, credit card numbers, socials, everything.
Identity theft.
Either way, she sold the data to a fraud ring, or she's part of one.
Here we go.
Adisa Teno is on the terrorist watch list.
He's a member of the Makeba Liberation Front.
Now, the Makeba consulate has issued an alert that he may be in New York.
Maybe he's connected to Jerif Holdings.
Paige's bank account balance has gone from 250,000 all the way towards 1,000,000.
But the cash gets transferred to a Jerif Holdings.
The last transfer happened right after Paige went missing.
Okay, so either she moved the money, or someone else did.
Either way, she's in deep.
Should we reach out to the CIA? Let's just go straight to the source.
You think Viv's gonna be okay? I don't know.
I hope so.
What about you? How you doing? What do you mean? How are you? How you doing? It's not affecting my work, Jack.
What isn't? Me and Martin.
I wasn't talking about Martin.
Well, what were you talking about? I was just trying to have a damn conversation.
Jack.
There's a familiar face.
That's General Gamba.
Can't wait to see how Detective Bowman explains himself.
Not gonna find out here.
We have no jurisdiction.
You think he works there? I don't know.
Why don't you head back to the office, put a name to the face.
All right, what are you gonna do? He can't stay inside there forever.
Well, we're about to get started, Viv.
How you doing? Hanging in there.
Great.
My colleague Dr.
Trask here will push a sedative in your IV.
Next thing you know, you'll wake up.
Sounds good to me.
Vivian.
Hey.
I'd like you to start counting back from 100.
Ninety nine.
Ninety eight.
Ninety seven.
They got names of some consulate staff here, but no pictures.
Are there any non African names on the list? You want me to ask around at the State Department? Yeah, listen, I'll call you back.
Excuse me.
I'm Special Agent Jack Malone from the FBI.
And you are? Emil Dornvald.
Security attaché for General Gamba.
What's your interest in Paige Hobson? What's yours? She's missing.
I was not aware of that.
What were you doing at her office yesterday morning? Our counterintelligence has identified her as having close ties to Adisa Teno.
What's the problem? You don't like her taste in men? Teno is part of a terrorist group that may be plotting an attempt on General Gamba's life.
The general doesn't take it seriously, but I do.
You think Miss Hobson's involved somehow? Adisa Teno and the MLF are a grave threat both to Makeba and to Miss Hobson.
This is a brutal and ruthless man.
That would be the perception of General Gamba here.
General Gamba has brought order.
This Adisa wants anarchy, and more people will die.
We're not done.
Oh, I'm in the 5 meter buffer zone.
As far as you're concerned, I'm on African soil.
I hope you find Miss Hobson.
African soil.
Looks like Park Avenue to me.
Hey, I think we got a line on Paige.
After she left Julia Gomez's place, she changed cabs several times until she was dropped off at South St.
And Fulton.
South St.
And Fulton? After that, her trail gets cold.
No, actually, her trail gets hot.
Jerif Holdings owns a warehouse two blocks away from there.
You got the other exits covered? Yeah, we're good to go.
Okay.
Let's go.
Let's move, move.
FBI, freeze! Put your hands where we can see them.
Get down, get down, get down! Hey, get down, get down! Down on the floor, right away.
Let's go! Put your hands on the trunk.
Keep your hands where I can see them! Get up against the rail! Get up against the rail! Freeze! FBI.
Put your hands in the air.
Come on down, nice and slow.
Where's Paige Hobson? Fifty AR 15s, 68 Uzis, You know, I would say you are taking our Second Amendment just a little bit too far.
And I assume that this is what you intended to assassinate General Gamba with.
Don't you think he deserves it? General Gamba is not my concern.
He should be.
You work for him.
How's that? It will happen this way.
One of your colleagues will request I be deported.
You'll comply.
My plane will land in Makeba, and I'll be shot on the tarmac.
Who gave the order? General Gamba.
Who obeyed it? You.
My only concern is Paige.
Now, where is she? I haven't seen her.
That's a lie.
We found her fingerprints all over the warehouse.
What did you do with her? Paige is one person, Makeba 10 million.
What, you used her? She worked at Info Merge.
She obviously was in love with you, and you just saw a great opportunity.
She wanted to help.
And you convinced her the noble thing to do was to take the data from Info Merge and use it to fund your cause.
Turned out to be a great idea.
You guys were making money hand over fist, right? This isn't about money.
It ain't about love either.
The minute she became a liability, you got rid of her.
That's not so.
Yes, it is so.
You betrayed her.
She trusted you.
She came to you for help when this man came to see her.
You know who he is? I know he's a killer.
That's exactly what he says about you.
I know nothing about your white girl.
Based on weapons charges alone, we could detain you indefinitely.
Now, if you help us find the girl, we will help you.
How could you possibly help me? By not deporting you to Makeba.
I'm sure the people running that country would love to have you back.
I am ready to die for what I believe.
Then you'll be dying for nothing.
We have Adisa, we have five of your men we have your confiscated weapons, and we have you.
You can forget about the hit on Gamba.
It's not gonna happen.
It's over.
It's over.
It's because of that bitch.
Paige, what are you doing here? He came to my office.
Who? One of Gamba's men.
I recognized him.
He could have followed her here.
He didn't.
I changed cabs.
If he found you there, he could find us here.
We need to pack up and go.
Adisa, what is all this? General Gamba, he's in town.
When word of his death reaches our forces in Makeba they'll storm the palace.
You told me the money was for opposition candidates, for relief supplies.
These are relief supplies.
You knew, Paige.
Perhaps you didn't want to, but deep down you knew.
Adisa, what happened to you? They murdered my family.
All dead but me.
My youngest brother was burned alive.
Sending rice is not the solution.
And this is? It requires one moment to spark a revolution.
A moment that moves people to rise up and take action.
This is that moment, Paige.
I can feel it.
I can't do this.
I don't have it in me.
We've waited for this chance for over a year.
Nothing can jeopardize it.
I need to go.
I don't think I can let you.
I told you she was a mistake, Adisa.
She's not even one of us.
Leave.
Paige and I must talk.
I went for a walk on the docks.
When I returned, Paige was gone.
What did he do with her? He didn't say.
I know what I would have done.
Paige knew, she wanted nothing to do with it, but you couldn't let her walk.
This is not true.
Yes, it is true.
She knew too much, so you killed her.
I could never hurt her.
I'm sorry I deceived you, but I see only one way.
I see it too.
I just can't go there.
But you'll let me do what must be done? Was any of it real between us? You will always be in my heart.
Good luck.
Do you mean that? You don't believe in hurting people, but don't let them hurt you.
You know, that is incredibly heartwarming.
Where did you have her taken? She wouldn't want me to tell you.
I don't think you gave her that gun for protection.
I think you used it to shoot her.
Hey.
Hey.
What'd you get from Adisa? Not much.
I'll have another crack.
What do you got? Emil Dornvald, from South Africa, served in the 32 Battalion.
He's worked as a mercenary for armies in Angola, the Congo, Sierra Leone.
He also did work for the CIA.
Right.
Okay, when? Hold on.
Paige was spotted at Grand Central.
Bought a one way to Cincinnati.
She's headed to her sister's.
What time? Two forty five.
Okay, we got 20 minutes.
Hold the train.
We're gonna need you to hold that train.
We're on our way.
She isn't on the train.
Maybe she changed her mind.
We got a transit cop on every exit.
So far, nothing.
Want another sweep of the train? Yeah, why not? All right.
I'll catch up with you.
Okay.
Okay, let's start her back up.
Going again.
Come on.
Once more.
Hey, check this out.
Some activity just popped on Paige's cell account at 2:38.
Maybe that's why she didn't make the 2:45.
Who'd she call? Looks like someone called her twice.
And they also sent a picture message with it.
The call came from Julia Gomez.
Hey, what's going on? Homicide.
Body's around back.
All right, thanks.
Hey.
Hey.
Mind if I take a look? Take the whole case if you want it.
So, what's the story? That is Julia Gomez.
Officers responded to a call, they found her right there.
Okay, and what time was that? She must've called Paige before she got shot.
Whoever called Paige, it wasn't Julia.
Do we have any suspects? A couple witnesses saw a tall white male get in a vehicle and leave.
What kind of vehicle? They're saying it was a black SUV.
Dornvald.
All right, Jack, listen.
We are dialed in.
I put an APB and an inter agency alert on Dornvald notices at airports, border crossings, everything.
If anybody in law enforcement sees this guy, he's made.
Okay.
Okay, keep me posted.
You got it.
Okay, everyone clear on the plan? Yeah, we got it.
Great.
St.
Andrew's Hospital.
Sir, I'm showing Miss Johnson is still in surgery.
Okay.
Thank you.
All right, heads up.
Car's coming.
Move into second position.
We're on the move.
Okay, I can make out the driver.
I cannot see who is in back.
Let's drag this guy out of the 5 meter zone if we have to.
It's Gamba.
No Dornvald.
Repeat, no Dornvald.
Sir, sir.
Okay, let's reset.
I think I just made Paige Hobson coming your way.
Yeah, that's her.
She's got a gun! Paige, drop the gun! Put your gun on the ground! Put your hands in the air! Put your hands in the air! Drop your weapons! Get down! FBI.
Drop your weapons.
FBI.
Get down, get down, get down! Drop your weapons! Drop your weapons.
Hands in the air.
Get your hands behind your back.
Somebody get a paramedic.
You don't seem like the type.
I'm not.
But here we are.
Was this the plan all along? That you would be the shooter? No.
Then why'd you do it? I was about to leave for Cincinnati.
That's when everything changed.
Julia? We need to meet, Miss Hobson.
Who is this? We need to talk about Adisa Teno.
Who are you? Why do you have Julia's phone? I just sent you something.
Oh, my God.
What did you do to her? What did you do? There will be no assassination.
Adisa is under arrest.
It's all done but the cleanup.
Which is where you come in.
I want names, faces Iocations of the other MLF members, to insure this never happens again.
In return, I'll stop killing people you love.
Sounds like you're in a train station, Miss Hobson.
Which one? Hartford, Connecticut.
Expect me in two hours.
Adisa says there's a moment that makes people take action.
I guess that was my moment.
Why didn't you go after Dornvald? Because he's not the real problem.
But he should pay for what he did.
He will, once we find him.
Spade.
Okay, thanks.
It's murder now.
General Gamba's dead.
I always wanted to make a difference.
Maybe now I have.
Apparently, news of Gamba's assassination has reached the rebels.
They took the presidential palace? The news of Gamba's assassination also reached the government and they fortified the building.
So it's a battle.
With Gamba out of the way, perhaps there's a chance for things to get better.
Maybe.
How is Paige? She's not the girl you first met.
Taylor.
Hey, it's me.
I'm at the hospital.
Viv's okay.
Man, that's great.
What's up? Viv got out of surgery.
Oh, is she okay? Yeah.
Her husband said it was touch and go for a minute, but she made it through.
I thought you guys would like to know.
Yeah.
Thanks for the call.
All right.
Come on, man.
Let's go.
It's a green light.
At least we're ending the day on an up note.
Yeah.
