Without a Trace s04e12 Episode Script

You seem like you're somewhere else today, Gina.
I know.
I'm sorry.
What's on your mind? Don.
For the most part.
Tell me how you're feeling about Don right now.
I love him.
How's it feel to say that? Feels good.
Feels like I've come a long way.
But? But I'm conflicted about what I can tell him.
About my past, about what's going on with me.
- Afraid he'll reject you? - Yeah.
Seems like those trust issues are flaring up again.
Old habits die hard, I guess.
Yeah, especially when you're about to make a long-term commitment.
You know, relationships grow through communication so you need to really open up to Don.
I know.
I'm going to.
It's amazing how you can work on all your issues and yet, somehow they reappear in some new form.
Issues are forever.
We don't get a free pass just because we're therapists.
- How are things with your clients? - They're fine.
Do you mind if we end a little early today? Sure.
You've done your time in the hot seat.
Now you get your office back.
- Thanks, Richard.
- See you next time.
Yo.
Hey, brother.
Hope I didn't break up a big night.
Every night's a big night.
What do we got? We got Gina Hill.
A shrink.
Left around 7.
This is as far as she got.
- Who called it in? - Security.
- Looks like a robbery.
- I don't know.
Her ID's missing, but there's still Looks like she went swinging.
Got scuff marks from her shoes when she was dragged away.
No! Probably to a truck or an SUV, based on the rubber that was laid down.
And then they smashed through the guard-arm at the exit.
Whoever did this wasn't taking no for an answer.
She was supposed to be home around 7.
At 8, when she didn't call and I couldn't reach her I had the security check and see if her car was still there.
Only been an hour.
How do you know she wasn't late? She'd made a point of saying that she'd be home.
- That we needed to talk.
- About what? I assumed it was about the wedding.
Seating plan, maybe.
You're getting married? - Next month.
- How long have you been together? Almost a year.
- Any problems in the relationship? - No.
- Especially not lately.
- Were there problems before? I mean, at the beginning, we were moving at different speeds.
Gina'd be the first to say that she has a problem with commitment.
But about six months ago when we set a date for the wedding, it was, like, a turning point.
She opened up, we got closer.
Since then, things have been great.
You work at the Public Defender's Office, right? - That's right.
- Is there any bad blood between you and any of your clients? - Sometimes.
When I don't get them acquitted, which is most of the time.
Are there any sex offenders in your caseload? No.
Look, I get the drill.
I know you have to ask these questions.
But I don't think this is about my clients.
If anything, it's about Gina's.
No.
I just won't, okay? I don't know how many different ways I need to say it.
Not anymore, I won't.
Look, this is, this is my home, you can't just call Look, I don't I don't wanna do this anymore.
I don't have anything else to say.
Don't call here again.
Gina, you okay? Hey.
Yeah.
- What's going on? - It's just one of my patients.
How'd he get this number? Well, I gave it to him in case of an emergency but he's obviously abusing the privilege.
- This guy dangerous? - No.
He's just upset.
- You want me to call Lieutenant Geider? - It's not a police situation.
It's a professional issue.
I can handle it.
Okay.
Then you'll get rid of him.
Of course.
The next day, she told me that she'd terminated him.
- That was the end of it.
- Did she tell you his name? No.
She didn't.
She's a real stickler about patient confidentiality.
Have you seen anyone suspicious hanging around the house the same car driving by over and over, anything like that? I don't think so.
Maybe I should have paid more attention.
Is there anyone else that she may have talked to about this client of hers? Her therapist, possibly.
He works in the same building.
His name's Richard Seidel.
Hey, Viv.
The P.
D.
's office sent a list of Don's clients.
So far no one's popping, but the phone records indicate that he was right.
They got eight phone calls that day from the same number.
- Whose number? - Well, it's a payphone in SoHo.
What about friends and family? Talked to three girlfriends, they didn't know.
I'm assuming she's more of a listener.
- Yeah, well, she's a shrink.
- That's true.
What about the Explorer? Well, whoever took her drove a blue '95.
The lab ID'd trim and paint from the scene.
If he's Gina's patient all we have to do is check who drives an Explorer.
We don't know who her patients are.
And without probable cause, no judge is gonna let us look into her files.
Well, he doesn't need to know.
Just kidding.
I'm headed over to the court to see what I can do.
- You see what you can find out.
- How am I to do that? Be creative.
And keep it legal.
It's more fun the other way.
You know that.
I just had a session with Gina last night.
What'd you two talk about? You know I can't discuss that.
What about her emotional state? Is that confidential too? She was preoccupied but nothing came up that'd speak to her getting abducted.
- She talk to you about her clients? - Sometimes that's all we'd talk about.
So if she was having a problem, she would tell you? She usually does.
Has she mentioned anything about cutting one of her patients loose? She terminated with a client? A client who was calling her at home, harassing her.
Well, this puts what happened to her last week in a different light.
Richard.
Good morning.
I was just about to leave you a passive-aggressive note on your door.
I missed our session.
First time.
Got me searching for a hidden meaning.
Oh, Richard, I'm so sorry.
I totally forgot.
No such thing as forgetting.
Only avoidance.
Don't shrink a shrink.
Maybe we can make it up later this week.
Sure.
Wait a minute, hold it.
- Did you lock up on Friday? - Yeah.
- Does it look like anything's missing? - I don't know.
I can't tell.
Must be those kids again.
We've had a few half-assed break-ins over the past year.
Kids after prescription pads, drugs.
I just assumed that they were responsible.
I don't think Gina did.
She never filed a police report.
Do you know if she had any potentially violent clients? Kidnappers, sex offenders? Possibly.
She takes on sliding-scale, pro-bono cases.
It can be a crapshoot.
- But you can't tell us who they are.
- I don't know who they are.
Look, Gina was thriving at work, in her personal life.
Overall, she was in a great place.
You two seem pretty close.
We're colleagues.
We have a professional relationship, nothing more.
After your session with Gina last night, where'd you go? I had clients until 8:00, then I went to dinner with my wife.
You can check.
I will.
Yes, yes, I'm still here.
No, no, no, look, there were three refills on that prescription.
Well, your records are wrong, man, because I've only used two of them.
Okay, just call Dr.
Carlyle.
I'm sure he'll fax over a new prescription.
He did? Fine, yeah, fine.
I'll call him myself.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Hey, I gotta tell you, I'm having a hell of a time ID'ing Gina Hill's clients.
It's okay, well, most of her patients bill through insurance.
We can't get those records but I got her bank to turn over these canceled checks that she deposited into her account.
That was smart.
Five of these people, they pay her every week.
So I'm thinking they have to be patients, right? Yeah, sounds good.
Oh, this guy's interesting.
Malcolm Neilus.
Convicted sex offender.
Rape.
So, what kind of car you drive, Malcolm? '78 Cutlass.
- Clean title, from the dealer.
- No SUVs in the family? - No.
- You sure you didn't steal one last night? Hell, no.
Have you called Gina Hill at her house? - You mean my shrink? - Yeah, that Gina Hill.
I only left messages on the office phone for appointments and crap.
- Why were you seeing her? - Court-ordered.
You know, to supposedly help me with my urges.
Must have been hard sitting in the same room with Gina.
Actually, I like them a little older.
More experience.
- I got no love for Gina.
- Oh, yeah? Why is that? Let's say she's not the kind of shrink that could help me.
That got pretty clear two nights ago.
She's screwing around, she's gonna make me better? - Yeah, after all, you've got standards.
- She's a hypocrite.
The more high and mighty people act, the more they got something to hide.
Look, describe this guy.
Tall, long hair, 30-ish.
- I didn't get that good a look at him.
- Know why? It never happened.
Oh, it did happen.
She was there, just like I said.
Was there a car parked outside his room? Yeah, a blue Explorer.
- You sure it was a blue Explorer? - Yeah, no doubt.
Are you familiar with the Cupid Motel? Yeah, I pass it on my way to work.
Why? We believe that your fiancée was seen there two nights ago with another man.
There's no way.
- Gina was not having an affair.
- I didn't say that she was.
But now that we're on the subject it never occurred that she might be? - No, it didn't.
- Not even after those phone calls? - No.
- Mr.
McGraw, you're a public defender.
You're suspicious by nature, correct? Of defendants and trial lawyers.
Not of my fiancée.
If she was a having an affair, there'd be red flags and you'd notice them.
I don't know.
Mr.
McGraw, was there anything odd going on in your relationship recently? There was a photograph.
It came about a week and a half ago.
- Hey, baby.
- What is this? It was addressed to me.
- Where'd it come from, Gina? - I sent it.
You sent it.
- You wanna explain that? - I found it in some old boxes.
- I thought you might like it.
- Who took this picture? - I did.
I took it.
- Why? So that when my boobs are hanging, we'll have proof that it wasn't always that way.
I thought it might turn you on.
- A heads-up would have been nice.
- Yeah? How do you think I look? - Pretty damn good.
- Yeah, what are you gonna do about it? - I believed her.
- You did.
Yeah, I did.
People lie to you all day long.
Why would you believe that story? Are you a jealous man? I didn't think there was anything to be jealous of.
So it never occurred to you that whoever took that photo might've been with your fiancée.
- Okay, I wanna leave now.
- What's your sex life like? Want me to draw you a picture? Yes, a detailed portrait of what your relationship was like.
I'd like to see my lawyer now.
Fine.
You still have the picture? Because I'm gonna need it.
- Dr.
Harris, thanks for coming.
- Welcome.
What do you think? I don't think he's your problem.
Did you check for patient complaints? - Not yet.
- She may have crossed the line with a patient.
- Sexually? She's frequenting motels, trolling for men that would suggest judgment issues.
- A therapist with a sexual dysfunction.
- We're not all perfect, Jack.
- Yeah, I'm starting to figure that out.
Fingerprints were a bust, but every picture tells a story.
And this was taken in Gina's bedroom.
If you compare the boudoir shot to her DMV photo from last month I'd say it was taken six months ago or longer.
- Based on? - Tan lines.
- Could have been last summer.
- What's this blur from? Motion from the shutter being pressed and released.
So someone else took this picture.
Yeah, and based on the sight lines, someone tall.
Hey, I got a line on our Ford Explorer.
- Where? - Greenwich, Connecticut.
Eight-thirty, Parking Enforcement wrote a ticket for an expired meter.
- Now, how do we know it's ours? - Sorry.
Johnson.
It came up stolen, the headlights were broken.
- I'm gonna go check it out.
- Okay.
Thanks, well, that'll have to do.
- What? - Bad news is the judge won't let us into Gina's patients' files.
- And the good news? - We can have her appointment book.
We were piecing together Gina's schedule and we came across this.
Three days ago, she had a session with a "Drew S.
" And she made this notation next to it.
Any idea what it means? Well, everybody has their own system, but "FIU" is probably "follow-up.
" And I'm guessing the H is for home.
So she was gonna call a client at home? Is that unusual? No.
No, she didn't wanna wait till the next session.
- Maybe something came up.
- Okay, that works for me.
- Thanks, Lisa.
- Sure.
- Hey, Martin.
- Yeah? - How you doing? - What do you mean? Well, you must be phased off your pain meds by now.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I am.
- Any feelings of nausea? Nervousness? - Nope, no.
No after-effects from the shooting? Physical, emotional? - What, people talking or something? - No, no, it's just a routine follow-up.
- FIU.
- Right.
No, actually, I'm pretty much a hundred percent now.
Good.
Glad to hear it.
- Thanks.
- Sure.
So "Drew S.
" is Drew Sharp.
She popped up on the phone records.
- Good.
Need me to set up an interview? - Already done.
This thing could have been avoided if she wasn't meeting guys in motels.
- Gina's the victim here, Martin.
- She's also a professional.
Just because you can give advice doesn't mean you can take it, right? - Shouldn't she have control of herself? - That's something she struggles with.
Well, Mr.
Goodbar's not the solution.
So by that time I was a drug addict and I was suicidal.
I hated myself.
I hated everyone in the world.
But Gina saved my life.
Before that I was just hanging out with Drew, please, one second.
So, okay, you had a session with her three days ago, right? I see her twice a week.
She made a note to follow up with you? Oh, she tried.
I didn't take her calls.
- Why not? - Our last session it got really weird.
But all the weirdness, it was coming from Gina, for a change.
We've been doing this work so I quit seeking men who treat me like crap.
I seem to recall a few conversations like that, yes.
Well, I met this guy and I don't know, I took one look, I knew I should run.
- Well, tell me about him.
- He was cute.
Troubled.
- Perfect.
- And how did you handle that? Look, I know I'm supposed to recognize my triggers.
- But? - But it's like I couldn't stop myself.
So we kind of hooked up last night.
And how'd it make you feel? It was the most amazing, mind-blowing sex ever.
Ever.
I mean, I knew that I shouldn't do it.
Sitting there with him, drinking Scotch in the hotel bar.
But, Vince, he just looked at me, and it was - His name is Vince? - Yeah.
- And it was like I just - And what hotel was it? At the Leighton.
You know, like a fancy one.
Like tablecloths and candles Is that where you first met him? No, this is what's weird.
I met him right outside this building.
After our last session.
You need to stay away from him, Drew.
- What do you mean? - I know him, and he's dangerous.
- You know him? Is he a patient? - I want you to stay away from him.
Do you understand me? I'd never seen Gina that way before.
You think you can help us with a sketch of this guy? Yeah.
Yeah, it's Vince.
He was here partying a few nights back.
First time I'd seen him since he got canned.
Oh, so he wasn't a model employee? They caught him skimming the till about a year and a half ago.
- I was surprised he even stopped by.
- Did you ever see him with this woman? Yeah, yeah, she was here for some shrink conference.
Must have been about two years ago.
It's the first time I'd seen Vince in action.
- It's on the house.
- Thanks.
- You're a shrink, huh? - Well, don't hold it against me.
Wanna ask me a few questions, try and figure me out? - Doesn't really work that way.
- Does for me, because I got you pegged.
I doubt that.
Pretty as you are, you're marked.
I can see it.
- Do clichés actually work for you? - Sixty-seven percent of the time.
I've done the math.
Seriously, I'm a psychic with these ladies.
I can look deep in their hearts and I know what they really need.
So try me.
For you.
What's your name? - Gina.
- Hello, Gina.
Love always comes with a dose of pain, right? And the less you get the more you chase after it.
Till you wind up where you are right now.
- Where's that? - Sitting here, staring at me.
Hoping that next martini's gonna give you enough courage to say yes when I ask you up to your room with me.
You won't be sorry.
Needless to say, she left with him when his shift was done.
- Did you ever see them together again? - Yeah, yeah, they had a thing.
But then Vince got fired, and I haven't seen her since.
It's Vincent Alan Weaver.
Yeah, he's in the system.
That's an impressive résumé.
Larceny, grand larceny, auto theft, armed robbery.
- Guy's moving up in the world.
- Last known address is Reno, Nevada.
I'm gonna give his picture to hotels and motels.
He needs to stay somewhere.
- Right.
- Got a hit on that parking ticket.
- Okay.
Good work.
- Good.
Yo, Mac.
Show him.
This video was taken at a pawnshop in Greenwich at 8: 15 this morning.
The Explorer was parked a block away.
- Well, there's Vince Weaver.
- And that's Gina with him.
What's she doing? She ain't buying jewelry.
You know, Gina has a clean record, Vince doesn't.
So maybe he forced her to buy the shotgun for him.
He was standing right there.
All she had to do was scream or run.
I don't know, but the last time he was arrested, he had female accomplices.
Maybe he's like a Pied Piper.
Leading women around with his magic flute.
That's one way of looking at it.
Bureau of Prisons is bringing one of the women in.
I'll ask her.
I haven't seen that face in a long time.
Wish I hadn't seen it at all.
Police report says you and Vince stole a car, led the cops on a high-speed chase.
- How is it he's out and you're still in? - He had a bag of coke asked me to hold it.
I got charged with intent to sell.
Let me ask you something.
How does a soccer mom from Poughkeepsie end up taking a joyride with a guy like Vince? As stupid as it sounds smell.
I went out to dinner with some girlfriends.
Vince was our waiter.
All night long he kept leaning over my shoulder, making jokes.
Never, like, really touching me, but I could smell him.
When I got home, I couldn't even look at my husband.
- So how long did the affair last? - Three weeks.
But with Vince, everything kept escalating.
Escalated how? First, we had sex at his place and then at my house.
And then in my backyard against a tree.
Each time it got more and more dangerous.
Anyway, with Vince, that's what it's all about.
It's not enough for him to possess a woman.
He has to destroy her.
Yes, I know who Vince Weaver is.
That slipped your mind, last time we talked? You asked about her patients, not anyone else.
- But you knew they were involved.
- They're not involved.
They haven't been for a long time.
I didn't know Vince had to do with this.
What do you actually know about this guy? He's a drifter.
He'd show up in town, they'd get together.
A charismatic guy, a bad-boy persona.
It's not just a persona.
He has quite a rap sheet.
- When was the last time she saw him? - Six months ago.
Gina, just tell me what happened.
I called Vince last night.
We got together.
- Where? - Right here.
So this is where you work.
Where people tell you their darkest secrets.
Yeah.
I missed you, Gina.
- Let's just do this.
- Right, right.
You don't wanna hear that from me.
That's not what I'm for.
No dinner parties and small talk.
Just this, huh? Oh, when we get started and I take you to that edge I own you, and you'd do anything for me.
- Wouldn't you, baby? - Yeah.
I threw up after.
- Gee, what do you think that means? - Thanks for the support.
You acted with purpose, Gina.
You sought him out.
Why? I guess that's just who I am.
I'm tired of trying to change it.
- What happened two days ago? - What does it matter? You told me you had a big talk with Don.
- What was it about? - It was about marriage.
Well, that's what this is about.
You've been with Don eight months.
He loves you he wants to get closer and that's too scary.
So you acted out.
I need to tell Don.
Course, so you can sabotage the relationship.
Because you don't feel worthy of real love.
See this behavior for what it is, Gina.
Why do I keep doing this? It's like I'm going backwards.
Because marrying Don would require you to make a leap of faith.
I don't know what to do.
- Do you love him? - Yeah.
Then just jump.
She went back to Don, they got engaged shortly after that and as far as I knew, she never saw Vince again.
Why would she get involved with somebody like that? An absent, withholding father.
But Gina did work on herself to break her patterns.
Obviously, not quite enough work.
This isn't what it looks like.
- It can't be.
- Have you ever seen him before? - Gina ever mention him? - No.
No, none of this makes sense.
Mr.
McGraw, often when we look for someone we find out things that their loved ones don't know.
No.
No, you're wrong about Gina.
She loves me.
I'm sure you're right.
Why don't you head on home, I'll call you if there's any news.
- Fitzgerald.
- Martin, a clerk at the Fairbrook Motel just ID'd Vince as a guest.
Danny and Viv are checking it out now.
Okay, thanks.
Put your hands where I can see them.
- Clear.
- Clear.
- All right, what's your name? - Toni.
Where's Vince? - I don't know what you're talking about.
- Then whose boots are those? I don't know.
- I'm gonna freeze my ass off.
- Should've worn your thermal panties.
- Where's Gina? - I'm not talking.
- I'm going back inside.
- Sweet thing like you? - Your ass'll be warm in jail.
- What are you talking about? About you doing life in prison for kidnapping.
- I didn't kidnap anybody.
- Then tell us what happened.
I haven't seen Gina since she came to the motel two nights ago.
Well, well.
- I knew you'd come sooner or later.
- This is nice.
Is she underage? No.
This is Toni.
- Hey.
- That's nice.
I want you out of my life.
- No, you don't.
- I let it slide, the phone calls and the picture and the break-in.
And then you go after my client? - My client? - You know what's funny? - She moans like you.
- You are a pig.
- And I want you to stop it.
Now.
- Oh, no.
A long time ago.
You're the one who keep I will call the police.
You call the cops, you know what happens? I'm gonna tell Don you been stepping out I don't care, Vince.
I don't care.
Because I'm gonna tell him.
It's time I told him.
It's over.
- It ain't.
It ain't.
- It's over, Vince.
You're gonna be back.
You're gonna be back.
Just like you always are, Gina, because you always come back.
The next day, he went and grabbed her.
He said she'd like it.
No! What was she doing buying a gun? - They went to pull off a heist.
- What heist? What heist? Vince broke into her office and got some names of some patients.
He Googled them.
- One of them had big bucks.
- What was the patient's name? Michael.
Michael something.
And have you heard from Gina at all? Okay.
We'll be in touch.
Hey, where are we on Gina's clients? She's got clients named Michael.
- I've talked to them both.
They're fine.
- I think I found a third one.
An ex-client.
Check it out.
Michael Ellis Sims.
Looks like he quit seeing her six months ago.
- And what's his story? - Well, let's find out, shall we? I think I got something here.
He's a big-time commodities trader.
Michael Sims? FBI.
Okay.
I was just about to call the police.
You just saved yourself a quarter.
Now why don't you just back it up? Sit in the chair.
- Where's Gina? - They left.
Thought he was gonna kill me Just settle down, okay? Back it up, start at the beginning.
There was a knock at the door.
Gina? This is unexpected.
- Isn't that the truth? - What are you doing? - Gina, what is this? - Give us your money.
Now.
I don't have any cash.
You work on Wall Street, man, come on: All my assets are frozen.
I'm going through a divorce.
She took everything, even the furniture.
All I've got is what's on me.
It's, like, 40 bucks.
Forty bucks? You know what? - You win some, you lose some.
- Vince.
- Like this.
- Vince.
Vince.
See that? Look.
You're flush now.
You like it.
Hell of a rush, isn't it? Don't you tell me Don does it for you.
- Not like that.
- Come on, let's go back to the motel.
No, you see? We gotta take care of something first.
You see him? He's seen us.
This is all you, baby.
- You can do this.
- No.
- You can, baby.
- No.
- You're gonna do it for us.
- No, Vince.
I can't.
Take the gun.
Take it.
See? That's it.
You feel that? There you go.
Now, hold it tight, because it's got a big kick, baby.
Point it right there and go, baby.
Right there.
Gina, please.
I knew you were too good to be true.
I ran.
I hid in a crawl space under the house.
- I didn't come out till they were gone.
- And how long ago was this? Maybe five minutes.
Okay, I want you just to sit tight, okay? - Calling the office? - Yeah.
Get agents over to Gina's house, the places Vince has been.
Yes, sir.
You're dreaming.
You tried to kill me.
Me.
You know? What are you thinking? After all we've been through because of this guy.
So, what do you think's gonna happen now? Gina? What do you think is gonna happen now? - Vince, just let him go.
- Shut up! - I'm sorry, baby, I'm sorry.
- Hello? - Jack, he's here.
He's at Gina's house.
- We're gonna send the cavalry in.
- Don't do anything till they get there.
- Shut the hell up.
Look, things are coming apart in there.
I gotta go.
You betrayed me, Gina.
Just like all you women do.
Just stop, okay? Just stop this, and you can walk away.
Oh, no, no.
I'm gonna walk away when I'm done here.
Vince, Vince.
You can take some money.
This isn't about money, never was.
Okay, okay, please, just, Vince, just leave him out of this, okay? What? You don't want me to hurt this fine, upstanding man of yours? Because I'm inclined to blow his head off.
Please, Vince.
Okay, baby, baby, baby.
I'll do anything, just let him go.
- I'll do anything you want.
- Anything.
You're gonna have to work really hard to change my mind.
I'm gonna give you whatever you want.
Oh, see.
That's what I'm talking about.
Let's let Don get a good view of this one.
