FBI: Most Wanted (2020) s04e22 Episode Script
Heaven Falling
1
Mikey was the reason
I became an FBI agent.
And this man who asks for compassion
still won't admit what
he did 25 years ago
when he stabbed my little brother.
The guy has cancer, wants
to get out of prison early.
I'm Serena Wade.
I wanna make Davis's appeal
the center of my film.
He claimed the prosecutor
withheld evidence.
The night Mikey was murdered,
he got into a fight
with someone on the beach
that wasn't Davis.
There was a witness to this fight
that the prosecutor failed to disclose.
That's her statement,
and I need to find her.
I'm sorry you didn't get a fair trial.
I'm sorry for your cancer
and your suffering.
But until I know what
happened to my brother,
that's all I can apologize for.
I found her Cassie Fortner.
She runs a Christian
rehab clinic in Newark.

Sir, back of the line, please.
Hey, there's a line, buddy.
I was just in there.
I'm not going to the back of the line.
You have to wait your turn.
I'm not going to the back of the line.
- Calm down, sir.
- I'm not calming down.
I'm not going to the back of the line.
- Calm down.
- [GUNSHOT]
Get back. Everybody get back.
[PEOPLE SCREAMING]
- I want my money.
- Oh, my God.
Not just 10,000. I want all of it!
Joe, what are you doing?
Drop the weapon!
Oh! No! No, Joe, please!
Back off.
Come on. Take it easy.
Back off! Now!
Just put the gun down.
Go outside!
Outside!
♪
Agent Scott?
Ms. Fortner, thank you for seeing me.
Call me Cassie.
I'm a bit nervous.
I've never talked
to an FBI agent before.
We're actually a lot of fun.
Just don't tell anyone.
And no, you're not in trouble.
I'm actually here
because I need your help.
This is about that boy from New York
who was murdered on spring break?
Mikey.
He was my little brother.
I didn't know.
I'm so sorry.
Thank you.
So like I said on the phone,
the court is looking
into this case again
because new evidence has come up.
Do you remember speaking
to a police officer
in Fort Lauderdale
about what you saw
on the beach that night?
Yes.
I mean, it was 25 years ago,
and it was a very short conversation.
It's not like I testified
at the trial or anything.
I know you didn't,
because the prosecutor
wanted to keep you a secret.
This is the officer's write-up
of the conversation you had.
The prosecutor had it
in his file the whole time
until a few days ago
when the court made him turn it over.
Have you ever seen this before?
No.
Does anything jump out at you?
Actually, yes.
I never said they were
arguing on the beach.
I said they were fighting
like, throwing punches at each other.
It was very violent.
Mikey and this white man?
[APPREHENSIVE MUSIC]
That isn't right, either.
It wasn't a man.
It was a kid, also white.
They looked about the same age.
I just assumed they were
drunk spring breakers.
And you told this to the officer?
What I said was, they were fighting,
and the boy in the jersey
got hit hard and fell,
and he wasn't moving.
That's when I got scared and ran.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
What jersey?
Baseball New York Mets, number 16.
♪
Cassie, are you sure?
Yes.
I'll admit, I was
a different person back then.
I was hardly sober
when he interviewed me.
But I remember that jersey and
that number 16 very clearly.
I don't know why
he didn't put that in here.
This has been incredibly helpful.
Thank you, Cassie.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
Hello?
Do we still have
those old photos we took
from Mom's after we moved her out?
Yeah, they're in my closet at home, why?
I need you to get them
and bring them to my place right away.
What's going on?
Just grab them and come over.
- [PHONE BEEPS]
- I gotta take this other call.
Okay.
Barnes, what's up?
Just checking in. You on your way?
Give me the lowdown.
This was a bank robbery?
Well, it started that way.
Now we've got a barricaded
suspect with hostages.
His name's Joe Kysor, 46-year-old male,
longtime customer of the
Saybrook branch in Morristown.
Saybrook?
Aren't they the ones dealing
with the bank run right now?
Exactly.
Joe wanted to withdraw money
from his account.
They told him there was
a 10 grand limit per customer.
He said they told him
the same thing yesterday
and then the day before.
He just lost it,
killed the security guard,
took the manager
and a few patrons hostage
when an off-duty cop tried to intervene.
Manager's name is Lethia.
We know what he wants?
We're working on it.
What's the tactical situation?
SWAT's here. Kristin's getting us
a live link to the surveillance cams.
Also, one of the tellers
took Ray around back.
There may be a way in if we need it.
- Barnes, I got it.
- It's Remy.
Oh, hey, I got
the bank manager's number.
You want us to wait?
No, make contact, start a dialogue.
I'll be there as soon as I can.
Okay.
[TENSE MUSIC]
[PHONE RINGING]
Who is this?
Joe?
Yeah, this is Joe. Who are you?
Joe, this is Agent Barnes with the FBI.
Is everybody okay in there?
Come on, come on. I swear it's in here.
I remember seeing it.
What photo are you looking for?
Someone gave us one
right after Mikey died.
Yes, here it is.
These are the guys Mikey went
to spring break with in 1997.
Right, they all went
to Country Day together.
Yes. Benji, I remember.
And Day was the one who
died in the car accident
- freshman year of college.
- Mm-hmm.
- But this kid?
- That's Tony Cain.
They played baseball together.
You wanna tell me what
the hell's going on?
Hana helped me find the witness
the prosecutor failed to disclose.
Her name is Cassie Fortner.
I met with her today, and she told me
it wasn't a white man Mikey
was fighting with on the beach.
- It was a white kid about his age.
- What?
Not only that, she said one of them
was wearing a Mets jersey, number 16.
Dwight Gooden, Mikey's favorite player.
That's what he was wearing
the night he was killed.
I know.
It was definitely Mikey
she saw that night.
The question is,
who is this kid he was fighting with?
Are you saying you think Mikey
was killed by one of his friends?
I don't know.
But we definitely can't rule it out.
Joe, I am listening, but all
the yelling, it's not helping.
You aren't listening!
Nobody is listening!
How could I rob the bank
when it is my money?
They're stealing from me.
I understand how you feel,
but right now,
I just wanna try to find a way
to end this all peacefully.
Listen listen to me.
I got a ten-year-old daughter
with stage-five bone cancer,
and the chemo isn't working.
But there's this experimental
treatment that might.
And the insurance isn't covering it.
And I have $61,000
in my savings account,
and they won't give it to me.
I can't make a wire transfer.
I can't take out more than 10,000 cash.
Now, is that right?
Tell me, is that fair?
Sheryll, keep him talking.
I can get to him.
You're right, Joe.
That doesn't seem fair.
We can get you your money.
If we do, will you
let those hostages go?
Hell no.
They're the only leverage I got.
You'll just arrest me.
I want my money.
And then I want you to take me
to my daughter at our house.
That's a really tough ask, Joe.
You've got a gun and hostages,
and we've already got
one dead victim today.
That wasn't my fault.
He would have shot me.
Joe, if you just listen to me
You're not listening again.
Now now, just give me what I want,
or I'm gonna do whatever it takes.
Do you understand me?
Joe, don't hurt her.
Do you understand?
[GRUNTS]
Put your hands behind your back.
I got the suspect in custody.
Is everybody all right?
[PHONE RINGS]
- Remy, hey.
- What's the situation?
Joe's in custody.
The hostages are safe.
Ray took him down
without any shots fired.
Way to go, Ray-Ray.
Thanks.
Hey, are you okay?
I thought you were meeting us.
Yeah, just working on
something on my brother's case.
Sorry I couldn't be there.
Did you manage to get
ahold of Cass Fortner?
Yeah,
and truthfully, it's a lot to process.
Do you want us to help you?
No, this is personal,
not really agency business.
Come on, Remy, you're not
gonna let us help you?
- I don't know.
- It's your brother.
All right, we got your back.
- You sure?
- 1,000%.
- Yes.
- Yeah.
8:00 tomorrow morning, my place.
See you then.
See you there.

♪
The kid on the left is Benji Piccagli.
Next to him is Tony Cain.
David Lowell died, so we don't
have to worry about questioning him.
And did they all stay
in the one room together?
Yeah, the night it happened,
they were all at a bar.
They were drinking. Mikey left.
His friends went back to the hotel.
Mikey wasn't there.
They didn't think too much
of it and went to bed.
The next morning, the cops
were knocking on their door.
And nobody knew where Mikey went?
His whereabouts were always unknown
until he was found dead in Davis's tent.
Until Cass came along.
She said she saw him
fighting on the beach.
Right, with some white kid.
You really think it could
have been one of his friends?
I don't know, but I damn sure
wanna talk to them.
They're both in the New York area.
Benji I know best,
so I'll take him solo.
You and Ray take Tony.
Hana, go through the case files
Davis's lawyer sent
with a fine-tooth comb.
I tried to get to it last night,
but I was so fried, I don't
think I retained anything.
And what can I do to help?
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
See if you can track down
this Fort Lauderdale cop
who interviewed Cassie.
Okay.
Big brother Remy! [LAUGHS]
Unbelievable.
What's up, my dude?
Do you know how much crap
this guy used to put me through?
One time, he hung me on the
door knocker of their house
and threw crabapples
at me for two hours.
I'm sure you probably deserved it.
- Can I get you anything?
- I'm good, Alice. Thanks.
Come on.
- All right?
- Okay.
Yeah?
Yeah, somebody did
all right for themselves.
I'm getting by.
Ex got the house in the divorce,
so I'm doing the condo thing,
but hey, grab a seat.
So I heard
that you are an FBI agent now.
Yes, I am.
Pretty badass, huh?
Well, if this is official
business, I did not do it.
No, it's actually about Mikey.
You hear about this new trial thing?
Uh no, no, what's going on?
Davis now claims there's a witness
who saw Mikey fighting on the beach
the night he disappeared.
I'm sure it's all just BS,
but it's got my mom
and sister pretty upset.
So I told them that
I would poke around a little,
unofficially.
And who is he supposedly fighting with?
We don't know.
This witness was a homeless
woman, probably on drugs.
But I was curious, did Mikey
have a run-in with anyone
while you guys were down there?
No.
No, we were just there
having a good time.
But you did see him
get hassled by Davis, right?
No, that was Tony.
Look, the last time I saw Mikey
was when he left the bar, you know?
He said he was tired.
He was gonna get some food.
When we got back to the hotel,
he wasn't there,
so we just figured he was
still out, went to sleep.
Hmm.
I mean, I was kind of glad
about it at the time.
He was a snorer.
- Mikey was?
- Oh, yeah.
That's why nobody ever wanted to bunk
with him at sleepovers.
He kept you up all night.
Wow, I didn't know that. That's crazy.
Did any of you guys
leave the hotel that night?
What, us? No.
No, like I said at the trial,
we were there the next morning
when the cops showed up.
Okay.
You know Davis is a liar, right?
Look, when they brought him in
for questioning,
he said that Mikey was
trying to buy drugs from him.
No way.
All right, Mikey was an athlete.
He wasn't into that crap.
- Mm.
- He wasn't a fighter, either.
He hated confrontation.
He was just a good guy.
He had his whole future ahead of him.
I still miss him.
I do too.
♪
We didn't go to sleep.
We passed out.
We'd been drinking by the pool
all day and then at the bar.
Mikey was so hammered when he left,
I wondered how he was
gonna find the motel,
much less something to eat.
Did you try to help him?
What do you mean?
Like when you saw him
outside with Davis,
did you go out
and ask what was going on?
I never saw Davis. That was Benji.
And Benji didn't tell you what he saw?
No, he didn't mention it until the
next day when the cop showed up.
I don't know anything about
Mikey fighting on the beach.
All I can tell you is, we got back
to the hotel, and he wasn't there.
We were mostly dealing with Dave.
He was puking all over the bathroom.
Nobody was concerned about Mikey?
We were 18, man, drunk on spring break
with no cell phones.
Although I do remember Benji
checking the other room just in case.
What other room?
Remy, the police officer
who interviewed Cassie's name
- is Larry Cade.
- We know where he is?
We're still looking,
but he retired 15 years ago.
Lauderdale PD isn't exactly
being cooperative.
Without a warrant or a fugitive,
they just don't care.
Stay on it.
We got something from Tony Cain.
He said the boys had
a second room down there,
and it was rented by Mikey.
You're kidding. What for?
Hookups, in case one of them got lucky.
And apparently, Mikey used it
at least one night,
and Benji went up to check it
the night he disappeared.
Benji didn't tell me anything
about another room.
Tony also said that when Benji saw Davis
hassling your brother outside
that he didn't say anything
until the next day
when the cops showed up.
Benji didn't see Davis. Tony did.
That's not what Tony says.
Why the hell would Benji lie?
They probably just didn't remember.
Look, they were all pretty
drunk, including your brother.
Well, somebody's obviously lying.

I told you about in my brother's case?
Yeah, did you find the witness?
Yes, I did, and she led me
straight to a suspect,
who, as of 20 minutes ago,
is in the wind.
I know this is personal business,
but I got my team working with me.
So you can fire me if you want.
I totally get it.

Hello again.

I need a pickup at 86 Francis Lane

[TENSE MUSIC]
♪
Yeah, I remember talking to this lady,
but not this report.
It's not mine.
What do you mean?
I always wrote up my
witness statements by hand.
Somebody else must have typed this.
And they left a lot of stuff out.
Like what?
Well, the baseball jersey, for one.
I can't remember what number it was,
but she was very specific about that.
Also, the girl.
What girl?
Well, that's what the boys
were fighting about.
She said they were yelling
and screaming about her,
and it sounded like she was
the victim's girlfriend.
She didn't hear a name, but I definitely
put that detail in when
I wrote up her statement.
Did you ever follow up on this girl?
There was no need to.
By that point, we found the body,
Davis was in custody,
and the DA was anxious
to announce the arrest.
That report came straight from his file.
Do you think that
he's the one who typed it up
and left things out?
I don't know.
You should ask him.
[SIGHS]
I'd love to, but he's lawyered up
and not answering questions right now.
Yeah, I expect he has.
You think he's dirty?
Look, the word I would use
is ambitious.
He was running for re-election
at the time
with this "get tough on crime"
platform
clean up the city,
make it safe for tourists.
And Davis fit the narrative
beautifully
a homeless Black man preying
on an innocent white boy
on spring break.
You can draw your own conclusions.
It makes no sense.
Mikey never had a girlfriend.
All he did was play ball.
Do you know the name of the girl?
No, and I've already
called Cassie three times
to ask her why she didn't
bring it up yesterday.
She's not picking up.
- You want us to go see her?
- Absolutely.
Try her office.
Maybe she's working late.
Talk to me about Benji. Where are we?
Okay, so no hits on the BOLO,
nothing on his phone that stood out.
He doesn't have social media,
which is kind of odd.
What about his family?
He was an only child, right?
Yes. His father, Leo, is Italian.
He made a fortune in the
wire supply business.
He died four years ago.
His mother, Rachel, she's still around.
67. She's Jewish.
She doesn't have any employment history.
She does a lot of charity work.
You know where she lives?
In a high rise on the Upper West Side.
Well, I don't think
Benji is that stupid,
but get on her phone just
in case he reaches out.
I already did.
And before you ask, yes, I will look up
this girl with no name
and put it against the file
and see what I can find.
It's your own fault, Hana.
You pull a rabbit out of a hat once,

Street cam on the corner caught
a vehicle leaving an hour ago.
Let me guess. Black Mercedes?
Actually, no, it was
a white Lexus, D.C. plates.
Look, the windows are tinted,
so you can't see the driver.
It could still be Benji.
Possibly. He could have switched cars.
Okay, plates are registered
to an Erin Swift
45-year-old female in D.C.
Could this be the mystery girl
Hana's been looking for?
The age matches.
This could be his accomplice.
Yeah, I don't think so.
Looks like this Erin Swift
died two years ago.
Well, how is the registration
still valid?
Money.
Benji could have easily
paid off someone at the DMV
in case he ever needed a dummy
plate for a getaway car.
And if he's tying up loose ends,
wouldn't Cassie have been the
only one to witness Mikey's murder?
But how would Benji
even know about Cassie?
The only people that saw her statement
are us and Davis's lawyers.
Yeah, but there's also the
Florida DA and Officer Cade.
One of them could have tipped him off.
The DA, I don't know about,
but it's not Cade.
I was very careful not
to tell them where Cassie was.
The only thing I can think of was that
Benji somehow knew about Cassie.
He'd been keeping tabs
on her ever since.
After I left his office, he panicked,
he came here, and he did this.
[SOMBER MUSIC]
- I should have known.
- Remy, don't go there.
No, this guy's a natural born killer.

- Hey, I just got your text.
- What's up?
Hana found the girl.
So there was no credit card
record of Mikey paying for that room,
so I started with the guest register.
I broke it down day by day, room by room
for the entirety of the boys' stay.
I narrowed it down to a room
rented by a Jenna Marks.
Now, she must have paid cash
because there was no other information.
But she did make phone calls in
that room the night she checked in
to a 914 number.
Now, I traced that back to a landline
belonging to a Catherine
and Dan Marks, Jenna's parents.
That's who she was living with in 1997.
I then found her old
high school yearbook online.
There she is.
Class of '97, Grant High,
same year as your brother.
And do we know where she is now?
White Plains.
Yeah, she owns a house
in Quarry Heights.
She works as a nurse
at a pediatrician's office.
- Try her cell.
- I've been trying.
Now, the battery must be dead

Yes.
I mean, it was 25 years ago,

It's not like I testified
at the trial or anything.
I know you didn't,
because the prosecutor
wanted to keep you a secret.

of the conversation you had.
The prosecutor had it
in his file the whole time
until a few days ago
when the court made him turn it over.
Have you ever seen this before?
No.
Does anything jump out at you?
Actually, yes.
I never said they were
arguing on the beach.
I said they were fighting

It was very violent.
Mikey and this white man?

What I said was, they were fighting,
and the boy in the jersey
got hit hard and fell,

What jersey?
Baseball New York Mets, number 16.

His name's Joe Kysor, 46-year-old male,
longtime customer of the
Saybrook branch in Morristown.
Saybrook?
Aren't they the ones dealing

Joe wanted to withdraw money

one dead victim today.

Back door was ajar when we got here.
Nobody else around except her.
One shot to the back
of the head at close range
from a 9-millimeter.
Shell casing is there.
What a coincidence.
Benji's got a 9.
- I know.
- Unbelievable.
This woman turned her life around,
got herself right with God.
All she wanted to do was help people.
And this is the thanks she gets.
Street cam on the corner caught
a vehicle leaving an hour ago.
Let me guess. Black Mercedes?
Actually, no, it was
a white Lexus, D.C. plates.
Look, the windows are tinted,
so you can't see the driver.
It could still be Benji.
Possibly. He could have switched cars.
Okay, plates are registered
to an Erin Swift
45-year-old female in D.C.
Could this be the mystery girl
Hana's been looking for?
The age matches.
This could be his accomplice.
Yeah, I don't think so.
Looks like this Erin Swift
died two years ago.
Well, how is the registration
still valid?
Money.
Benji could have easily
paid off someone at the DMV
in case he ever needed a dummy
plate for a getaway car.
And if he's tying up loose ends,
wouldn't Cassie have been the
only one to witness Mikey's murder?
But how would Benji
even know about Cassie?
The only people that saw her statement
are us and Davis's lawyers.
Yeah, but there's also the
Florida DA and Officer Cade.
One of them could have tipped him off.
The DA, I don't know about,
but it's not Cade.
I was very careful not
to tell them where Cassie was.
The only thing I can think of was that
Benji somehow knew about Cassie.
He'd been keeping tabs
on her ever since.
After I left his office, he panicked,
he came here, and he did this.
[SOMBER MUSIC]
- I should have known.
- Remy, don't go there.
No, this guy's a natural born killer.

he's still in the area.
True.

- Hey, I just got your text.
- What's up?
Hana found the girl.
So there was no credit card
record of Mikey paying for that room,
so I started with the guest register.
I broke it down day by day, room by room
for the entirety of the boys' stay.
I narrowed it down to a room
rented by a Jenna Marks.
Now, she must have paid cash
because there was no other information.
But she did make phone calls in
that room the night she checked in
to a 914 number.
Now, I traced that back to a landline
belonging to a Catherine
and Dan Marks, Jenna's parents.
That's who she was living with in 1997.
I then found her old
high school yearbook online.
There she is.
Class of '97, Grant High,
same year as your brother.
And do we know where she is now?
White Plains.
Yeah, she owns a house
in Quarry Heights.
She works as a nurse
at a pediatrician's office.

Now, the battery must be dead
