Without a Trace s05e16 Episode Script

Mommy? Mommy? - What happened? - I had a bad dream.
Okay, so it's gone.
- But what if it comes back? - It's not gonna come back.
Come here.
Because Close your eyes.
- I'm gonna tell that dream right now to leave this home and never, ever, ever come back.
Ah! - That's what you said last time.
- But this time I used magic.
- You don't know magic.
- Yes, I do.
Use it all the time.
Last time I had a nightmare, I was your age.
It's the bed.
Your bed is magic.
Sofie, go.
Please, just for tonight.
Come on.
Come on, no more nightmares.
Come.
Did you know that the top of the Empire State building was originally designed as a mooring mast for zeppelins? We gotta go.
- Honey, you're missing everything.
- Your hands are freezing.
Because it's two degrees out there.
Go by the fire and warm up.
I have to check with this guy about our bags.
- Okay.
Excuse me, sir.
My wife and I are checking in.
- We left our suitcases in my car.
- We'll take care of that.
- I just need your ticket.
- Ticket, right, right.
First time in the city? - First time pretty much anywhere.
- Oh.
Welcome to New York.
Honey? Red dress: Hanging or folded? Hanging, please.
Do you know that there's a phone in the? - Hey.
- I brought it from home.
What's the occasion? Arbor Day.
- Ah.
- You know how I love those trees.
To trees.
To Mrs.
Robert Darcy.
My best friend in the world.
Jenny? The husband, Rob Darcy said he that woke up to find his wife being accosted by an intruder.
He tried to stop it, got hit on the head, ended up in the ER.
We're waiting for him to come in.
- Notify the family? - There is no family.
There's no sign of forced entry.
No, but otherwise it does look like a burglary.
Mrs.
Darcy had a brand-new Tiffany's bracelet and some shopping bags that went missing.
It could be an inside job.
I mean, a hotel employee would have access to a master key.
Nice watch.
It's possible the kidnapper saw the watch the bracelet and thought there were deep pockets.
What do you think? That we're looking at a kidnap-for-ransom? It's better than thinking we're looking for a corpse.
Jenny didn't wanna come to New York.
She hates doctors but I wanted her to see an asthma specialist.
But Jenny's doctor is way across town.
Any reason you were staying at the Carlington? A friend recommended it.
She used to live in New York.
I should call her, she's driving into the city as our tour guide.
If you give me her number, I can call her for you.
Did anyone at the hotel ask you about money? About how much you made, how much you had on you? No.
Anyone ask you any odd questions? Seem a little too interested in you or your wife? We called room service for a late dinner.
And the guy they sent up Thought he'd never leave.
Ha-ha.
It's sterling silver.
Although, I'm not sure what makes it sterling.
Ha-ha.
- Rob.
This is Mike.
I was just showing off my new acquisition.
How are you, sir? I ordered a club sandwich.
It's right here, sir.
Your wife was telling me about your day in the city.
If you need help with theater tickets, I've got connections, I can make a call.
- Mike's an actor.
- Aspiring.
Still trying to figure out if I have that "it" factor.
Oh, of course you do.
I was a drama major in college, I can tell.
- Ha.
- We'll call you if we need you.
He was just being nice.
Nice is one thing, nosy's another.
- He was a creep.
- Rob.
Honey, you never know what these guys want.
We're not in Palmyra.
Maybe I overreacted, but he rubbed me the wrong way.
Did your wife wear the bracelet that you bought her to bed? Don't think so.
She always went to bed without jewelry.
- Because we didn't find it in the room.
Um We also didn't find the shopping bags that you talked about.
In fact, they were the only items that were missing.
I don't care about those.
I just want my wife back.
Please, find her.
So who were the room service attendants on duty then? You know what, just call me back.
Okay, thanks.
Mommy, what's the name of the place Nana Isabel went? Atlantic City.
Ah.
The underwater city where everyone goes to lose their money.
- That's Atlantis, silly.
Ha-ha.
Is anyone looking for a babysitter? Because I found one at reception.
- Who's my favorite girl? Hey.
- April.
Thank you, April.
You're a life-saver.
Come here.
Are you gonna be good for April? You know I love you, right? I'll see you tonight.
I love you, love you, love you.
- Goodbye, Danny.
- Bye.
Hey, Sofie, I like your jacket.
- What do you say? - Thank you.
You're welcome.
I checked with the hotel.
They have five Michaels on the staff none work for room service.
Security says the last keycard entry into the room was at 11:30 p.
M when the Darcys went in.
- She opened the door.
Maybe the waiter's not the only guy she flirted with.
I've known Rob and Jenny 15 years.
I couldn't ask for nicer neighbors.
And Mrs.
Darcy, is she happy in her marriage? As far as I can tell.
Have you ever seen them fight? If you'd asked me three days ago, the answer would have been "no.
" Take it easy? Were you even gonna tell me? Of course I was.
I don't believe you.
Stop yelling at me.
Then stop lying to me.
Why should I calm down? You're denying this again and again.
- I'm sick of it.
It's nothing.
I'm tired of hearing that.
It's not.
I don't wanna talk about it.
We're gonna talk about it.
- Hey.
Everything okay? Oh, everything's Everything's fine.
I was just I was changing the water for the roses and I just fell and hit my head.
The plumber was downstairs.
He heard her fall and found her on the floor.
I just got here.
Um Would you like to come in? We have some iced tea.
No, thanks.
I just wanted to make sure everything was okay.
Well, it is.
Thank you.
All the years I've known them I'd never heard Rob raise his voice.
- At least not until three days ago.
- I don't know what happened that day but whatever it was, Jenny was scared.
The hotel has no record of a room service delivery.
No one there has seen your wife, period.
In fact, the last time somebody remembers seeing your wife they said that the two of you were fighting.
You think I hurt my wife? I think you hit her when you found out she was having an affair with another man.
The other man was the plumber.
My wife had an asthma attack while he was at our house.
We argued because I wanted her to see a specialist.
We can't confirm anything you've told us, not one thing.
- So why should we believe you? - You want confirmation? We went to a place in Times Square to have our photo taken.
Smile.
- Where's the photo? At the store.
I gave the attendant our address and he said he'd mail it to us in three to five days.
Three to five days for a digital photo? That's what the guy said.
You wanna question someone, question him.
That's your job, isn't it, To find my wife? Why don't you go do it? Gotta hand it to him, if that guy was lying, he's convincing.
Yeah, I'm gonna go check out the souvenir shop.
Okay.
Hey.
How do you feel about taking a road trip? Depends on where.
Palmyra, Pennsylvania.
It's possible that Rob Darcy killed his wife at home.
If we're looking here, we're not looking there.
Well, that makes sense.
Guess I'm going to Palmyra.
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
Oh, God, Sofie.
Hey, we're not home but if you leave us a message, we'll call you right back.
Bye.
Hey, April, it's Elena.
Pick up.
Hello, pick up the phone.
Okay, listen, Miss Sofie left her Lulu doll at the office but there's another one in the hall closet next to the towels.
We'll see you guys tonight.
I love you, Mama.
Okay.
Yeah, okay.
Thank you.
Hey.
So listen to this one.
I talked to the shop and they have no record of the Darcys ever being there.
So absolutely no picture of Rob as King Kong.
Okay.
Um Would you mind sitting down for a minute? What's up? What's going on? Sofie's been kidnapped.
- What? - Somebody broke into your apartment and they took her.
- Oh, my God.
No.
- Wait.
- What are you doing? Jack - Listen.
- Please! No! - No, no, no.
- Jack, let me go.
Let me go.
- Just stop.
Stop.
Elena, calm down.
You can't be involved.
You know this, okay.
It's FBI protocol.
- Just calm down.
- Jack, this is my daughter.
Let me talk to April.
You're saying she's kidnapped.
It's okay.
I've sent Martin over to them, okay? - Okay.
Okay, I'll go with him.
- No.
I need you here to help me.
- Okay? All right? - Okay.
Listen to me.
Now, do you have any idea who might have done this? Let me go.
It was Carlos.
- Apparently not.
- It was Carlos.
According to your babysitter, the man who took her was heavily tattooed.
What? You have a photo of her, right? - Yeah, on the desk.
Yeah.
- Good.
Because we're gonna need it.
Tell me what she was wearing.
Um Think, think, think.
Come on.
Okay, it was a pink parka with brown pants and a sweater with a zipper and I think it had hearts all over it.
It was a white sweater.
- And her hair, was it tied up? - I didn't have time to do her hair Oh, my My mom.
She's in Atlantic city.
I need to call her.
Come and sit at my desk, okay.
Come sit at my desk.
You can call from my phone, okay? I'll be right back.
- Where's Danny? - In the tech room.
What's going on? - Sofie's been kidnapped.
- What? I need Danny and Martin to check it out.
You and Sam keep working on the Darcy case.
- Of course.
- Okay, thank you.
- He just walked in.
- So you forgot to lock the door? I always lock the door.
- April, how did he get in this apartment? - He had a key.
I'm sorry.
Okay? I'm really sorry.
Okay? I don't Okay, April, it's okay.
Look, right now let's just forget about the guy.
What about the TV? Um Do you remember the TV? Was it on? - Yeah.
- Yeah? What were you watching? A cartoon.
- Ow.
That hurts.
- Okay, I'm done.
- Don't be stupid.
- Let go of me! Ow! - Uhn! - Sofie, run! Stay.
He tied me up and locked me in a pantry.
All right.
And you mentioned that he had a couple of tattoos? Two.
A snake on one side and, on the other side, a name.
"Angie.
" - In cursive.
- Okay.
I don't understand.
The photo has to be at the souvenir shop.
It's not.
I'm tired of you wasting my time with your lies.
I swear to you I'm not lying.
We have an agent at your house.
And if you've hurt your wife we're gonna find out.
Hello? FBI, anyone here? Now would be a good time for you to tell me what really happened.
I told you what happened.
I was asleep.
I heard a noise, I went to check.
Jenny? I couldn't see anything.
I knocked over this chair.
You tripped, you banged your head and you made up a story about a man attacking you.
I saw him.
He was strangling her.
She was kicking at him.
She kicked over a lamp.
Before I blacked out, the last thing I saw was Jenny.
And she couldn't breathe.
And there was nothing I could do.
Yeah, his name is Ray Sykes.
I put him away three years ago for possession with intent.
- Maybe he's got a grudge.
- This is way out of his league.
Carlos knows him.
He's part of the bust three years ago.
He paid this guy to take Sofie.
I'm very aware of how complicated things get in custody battles.
If he thought he was gonna lose her, he'd do anything.
- Why would he think he's gonna lose? - Because he sued for full custody and I countersued.
The way he's been acting, no judge is gonna side with him.
What about what's been going on between you two? Has it got anything to do with it? Well, he and I did get into it the other day.
- Anything since then? - No.
Believe me, Jack, if you find Carlos, you're gonna find Sofie.
I've talked to his commanding officer.
All right? Carlos is undercover.
He's working on the Ramirez cartel investigation.
It's an alibi.
Talk to his handler.
He's a guy by the name of David Kwon.
Just talk to him.
Okay.
Let's get an APB and arrest warrant for Sykes and I'll talk to Kwon.
- Hey, Elena.
I'll call.
- I can do it.
Look, I'm sorry.
I should have stayed out of it.
You were right.
It's okay.
Let's just do the work.
I need you to pull Carlos Aguilar off his current assignment.
I'm sorry, can't do it.
Yes, you can.
You're his handler.
Are you telling me you won't? I'm telling you you've got no evidence that Carlos did anything wrong.
I'll call my captain.
Name's Harbinson.
He'll tell you the same thing.
We're not jeopardizing a case because one of your girls is having a spat with her ex.
- This isn't personal.
- Mm-hm.
Unless you wanna make it personal.
Is that what you wanna do? You wanna make it personal with me? Look.
Carlos didn't take Sofie.
He would never do anything to hurt his daughter.
He loves that girl more than anything in the world.
I'm just saying, you know how much Ichi hates waiting.
Well, that's work and I'm here with my daughter so Ichi can wait.
Here you go, my princess.
Ichi's a gross name.
Sounds like he's a troll or something.
He is a troll or something.
He lures goats underneath the bridge and he makes them work for him.
And they work so hard that they forget to eat grass.
And if someone's not there to help them, they just get hungry and die.
- Are you going to help the goats? - Yeah, I'm Big Billy Goat Gruff.
I'm gonna headbutt that troll right over the bridge.
And he will never, never hurt any little goats ever again.
That's a lot of goat hair on you.
Go wash up before your grandma gets here.
Get out.
Get out of here.
- I love you.
Love you too.
Well, I can't wait to have kids so I can be all soft and cuddly like you.
You will be.
I'll tell you what, man.
When I walk out the door, man I can think is I got a hundred and sixty-eight hours to kill before I'm back with her again.
And each time's longer than the one before.
It's very moving.
It's the truth.
You are aware that Mr.
Perfect blindsided his ex by filing for sole custody for Sofie? Well, it's not against the law, is it? You have Ray Sykes on the wire.
He's your guy.
He had a beef with Delgado, so he took her daughter.
And if Sykes didn't do it and Carlos did I'm gonna make it my life's mission to take you down.
And taking your badge is just the first step.
- Are we clear? - Yeah, kiss my ass.
- I'm sorry? - I said kiss my ass.
I think we're done.
Sam.
- Is there anything on Sofie? We got a hit on Ray Sykes.
Danny and Martin are checking it out.
Okay.
ME here said that Mrs.
Darcy probably died from an asthma attack.
I think Rob Darcy must've found her after she died.
Honey, car's loaded up, we're ready to go.
Jenny.
Jenny? Jenny.
Bags were packed, it was all set up.
Maybe he took the trip just like they planned.
Well, he passed his polygraph test.
Doesn't seem to be lying.
What if he's not? What if everything happened just like he said only a long time ago.
I found that bracelet that Mr.
Darcy said he bought yesterday.
It's got an engraving on the back.
New York City, Valentine's Day, 1982.
We found the photo that you and your wife took in Times Square.
I told you I was telling the truth.
It was on your nightstand back in Palmyra.
Now, you and wife were married in February, 1982.
It's from your honeymoon trip, isn't it? Jenny was here with you, but a long time ago.
- She was with me yesterday.
- Yes, I know.
At home in Palmyra.
But she couldn't make the trip, could she? She was fine.
She came here with me.
I don't think so.
You wanted her to be here so much that part of you believes that she was.
But she's not here.
She never was.
We found Jenny in your bedroom.
It looks as though she died from an asthma attack.
No.
I'm so sorry.
Oh, no.
- I've got eyes on Sykes, you good to go? - I'm in position.
Let's move in.
Copy that.
FBI, freeze! Freeze! Don't move.
Put your hands where I can see them.
Put your hands where I can see them.
Get your hands on the car and keep them where I can see them.
Is she in there? No, but she was here.
Where's Sofie? - Who? - You know what I'm talking about.
Where's Sofie? I want a lawyer.
Now.
Where's Ray? He's in the interrogation room waiting for his lawyer.
And you are not to go anywhere near him.
- Do you understand? - Jack.
Okay.
We found 10,000 dollars cash in his car.
And this.
It's a bus itinerary for your mother's trip to New Jersey.
Now, Ray made sure that she got on that bus.
- Carlos paid for the ticket.
- How do you know? I ran a credit card check.
He's also paying for your mother's hotel room in Atlantic City.
I've told her a million times not to take anything from him.
That's probably why she didn't tell you anything.
Look, it's not her fault.
Carlos probably conned her into thinking she was getting a free trip.
- She knows better.
There's no way she would've seen this.
- What are you saying? I should have? - No way your mother would know what Carlos was planning.
- I wanna talk to her.
Maybe he said something.
We're bringing her in.
After I talk to her, I'll find you.
- No, I wanna talk to her.
- Not right now.
She's my mother, I'm the one that is gonna talk to her.
I said not right now.
I heard about what happened.
I'm very sorry for your loss.
Thank you.
They're making me see a doctor.
Well, that's probably a good idea.
She won't be home.
When I get back, she won't be there.
Her shoes and her clothes will.
She won't.
I'm Maggie Bishop.
I'm representing Mr.
Sykes.
Any questions you have, you can direct to me.
You know your rights? Good, you can remain silent.
I'm just here to let you know that we found the body of Sofie Delgado.
- Wait, what? It's over.
She's dead and you're getting the death penalty.
- I will need to see a coroner's report.
- Like I said, I'm not here to chitchat.
I just want you to know that I'm gonna have a front-row seat at your execution.
- Maybe we can talk.
- Wait a minute.
Look, this is my life here.
- I want a deal.
- A deal? Ah.
Are you serious? - You killed an FBI agent's daughter.
- I didn't kill her.
- Then who did? - Agent Johnson, I'm asking you to stop.
Then you better talk to your client.
He's telling me that he doesn't wanna die.
This was all Carlos.
He paid me to take Sofie.
I handed her off to him.
She was alive last time I saw her.
It was a simple plan.
Sofie gets kidnapped, I rescue her, I'm the hero.
The kidnapper's a ghost except you can't be a ghost if the babysitter sees your face! I didn't mean for her to see me.
What the hell are we gonna do? Chill out.
We gotta be smart.
I wanted to show her what happens when you lose someone you love.
You wanna be smart, huh? You wanna be really smart? What? Get rid of the problem and pretend it never happened.
That's my daughter you're talking about.
You understand me? Take your money.
Take it.
I want you to leave town because if I ever see your face again, I'll kill you, you understand me? - You understand me? - Yeah, yeah.
Come on.
- Where did they go? - I don't know.
- We can make a deal now, right? - We'll make a deal when we find Sofie.
- You said you found her body.
- Did I? Jack, this is Carlos' checking account.
He's got eighty dollars to his name.
Well, you don't pay taxes on money you keep in a duffel bag.
He's got something going on.
His phone shows calls to over a hundred disposable phone numbers.
He's staying in touch with his drug contacts.
This guy's definitely on the take.
Here's the thing, this patterning goes back eight years when Elena and Carlos were together.
She must have known about this.
Not necessarily.
I kept stuff from my ex-wife.
What'd she have to say about it? She's not picking up.
I tried to get a hold of her and I can't.
Where's my daughter? Look, I don't know where he took Sofie.
He didn't tell me what he was planning.
The first time I heard about this was this morning.
Tell him what you told Agent Delgado.
Look, Carlos has been on the take for years.
Half the dealers in town pay him to keep vice out of their way.
I have nothing to do with it.
Except for the cash that Carlos gives you to shut your mouth.
Hey, I'm trying to help find this little girl.
That's gotta earn me some brownie points, right? I doubt it.
You also told agent Delgado that Carlos keeps a safe house.
- Where is it? - Look, I told her I don't know.
- That where he keeps the cash? - Why would he tell me? - What about his fake identities? Aliases, bank accounts, anything.
Nothing? Okay.
You're free to go.
We'll have Agent Delgado walk you to your car.
Look, I'm leaving here a free man.
You violated my due process.
You can't use anything I told you against me or against Carlos.
You know, if this was an episode of Matlock, I would give a crap.
But if I think a good beating will help get my friend's kid back she can take you and rip your spleen out and I wouldn't give a rat's ass.
Alfredo Perez.
He cleans the money using the name Alfredo Perez.
I keep trying to help you and you keep screwing it up, okay? You cannot resort to these cowboy tactics.
You set us back.
That skeeze is right.
If Carlos gets arrested, he's just gonna walk.
You want my gun and my badge? Take them.
- That's not what I'm tal - Somebody had to do something.
- You put a gun to a cop's head.
- You'd have done the same.
You'd kill a man for your daughter, you know.
So how dare you talk protocol to me right now? How dare you do that? I'm dying here and you just won't help me.
- You just need to settle down.
- Please, Jack.
- Please help me.
- Calm down, okay? I will help you find your daughter.
Just calm down.
Hey.
I think we caught a break.
There's 32 Alfredo Perezes in New York.
One of them died in 2002 and then bought a home last year.
It could be Carlos' safe house.
Okay.
Organize a SWAT team, get Danny.
- Get down there as soon as possible.
- You got it.
Now, you You're staying with me.
- Okay? - Okay.
All right, Carlos and Sofie are in that house.
A neighbor saw them go in about half an hour ago.
- Where's SWAT? - They're on their way.
Okay, we wait.
- Was Sofie okay? - Yeah, she's fine.
Carlos is coming out of the house.
He's got Sofie.
They're on the move.
Okay, take him.
Uncle Danny.
Hey, what's up, old buddy.
Uncle Danny, eh? Coming to visit, eh? - Eh? We ain't friends, man.
- Carlos, let her go.
You shut up, okay? You don't tell me what to do.
You don't tell me what to do with my daughter, understand? Carlos.
Think about what you're doing, man.
Come on, let her go.
You're not gonna take my daughter away from me, understand? - Back off.
- Put her down.
Get Elena down here, we're still a family.
We're gonna work it out.
You get her down here, you understand me? Get them.
Hey.
Jack, if we involve SWAT, he's gonna feel trapped.
You know how this thing's gonna go down.
- I am not sending you in.
- I know this guy.
I can talk him down.
I got a team of snipers and a negotiator on their way.
He doesn't wanna talk to a negotiator.
He wants me.
He's upset.
- He's emotional.
- So are you.
I send you, I could be starting World War III.
If we do this by the book, you're not even giving me a chance to get her out.
Come on, Jack.
Don't freeze me out, man.
You got a gun? Let me see.
- No, I don't have anything.
It's fine.
I don't have anything.
Carlos, no.
Turn around.
Sofie, mamita, do me a favor? - Go in the next room? - Stay where you are, okay? Stop acting like a baby.
She's acting like a baby because you're too easy.
You let her sleep in your bed.
With me, I put her in her bed and she stays in her bed.
Two nights, once a month.
That's all I get.
I'm not gonna talk about how to raise our daughter, okay? We're back to that now? We can't talk in front of Sofie, huh? I guess that bitch talk doesn't fly right today, right? Put the gun down.
Remember Juan used to say: "If someone makes you feel like you wanna kill yourself you should kill them instead.
" - I'm sorry I made you that angry.
- You broke my heart.
I got this place for us.
And I had a contractor.
He was gonna build a deck for cookouts.
And a garden for you for your favorite flowers.
Yellow daisies.
I listen.
I remember.
- Yeah.
- For what? Hmm? You've moved on.
What else was I supposed to do? You could've talked to me.
No, you don't wanna talk.
You wanna arrange visits.
We used to talk.
We used to talk all night.
We used to drink Don Q, remember? - We're different people now.
- Because you changed.
I haven't.
I loved you.
And I wanted to marry you, Carlos, you know that.
But you just wouldn't grow up.
And we have a daughter now that is looking at us, look at that.
And she needs the parents to be grownups.
Listen, I know that I'm judgmental and I have no patience and I'm a bitch, because I am.
But look at us.
This moment.
It's hurting our baby.
She's hurting.
Let's stop.
Go in the other room, Sofie.
Sofie, go with Martin.
Mommy and I will be right out, okay? Danny, what are you doing? It's okay.
Come on, it's okay.
Danny's a good guy.
He's gonna make you happy.
I don't know how to get out of this.
We'll figure it out.
Danny, do not take the shot.
You'll help me? Of course.
Can you hear me? Do not take the shot.
Come on, it's okay.
It's okay.
It's okay.
- Where's Sofie? - She's outside.
Sofie? - Sofie.
- Mommy.
Mommy.
Come on, let's go.
I had a clean shot.
Go home.
- You okay? - Yeah.
Should I come over later? It's late.
