[TRAIN RUMBLING]
[HORN BLARES]
Hey! Hey!
You still open?
Sure. Why not?
Oh, sweet.
I'll take one of these.
You know these energy drinks,
they're no good for you.
Think I'll live.
Night.
- Hey, your change.
- Keep it.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
No, no, no, no, no. Hey!
Hey! Open up!
- No.
- Come on.
- You just let that chica buy.
- We need cigarettes.
We're closed. And you're not 21.
You were open for that girl.
'Cause I liked her. She was classy.
You don't know me.
You have no right saying that.
[WOMAN SCREAMS]
The hell was that?
[OMINOUS MUSIC]
[PHONE ALARM RINGING]
[ENGINE ROARS, TIRES SCREECH]
[SIREN WHOOPS]
[POLICE RADIO CHATTER]
- Keep 'em back.
- You in charge?
Trying to be. Place is a zoo.
I got everybody but
Park Rangers in on this one.
- Nick Zito.
- Maggie Bell. Omar Zidan.
We hear that the victim's high-profile.
You could say that.
Allison Becker, 22, only child
of U.S. Senator David Becker.
It's not every day an American
princess goes missing.
- OK. What do we know?
- Not much.
Allison gets a drink
at the newsstand over there,
turns the corner, activates
the alarm on her cell phone,
starts screaming.
We recovered the phone,
ID in the back sleeve.
Any cameras in the vicinity?
Dead zone.
- What about eyewitnesses?
- None.
But the lady at the newsstand
did hear her scream.
Listen, if you two will excuse me.
No, can't park it here!
No, I didn't actually
see the girl get taken.
As soon as I heard the scream,
I knew something was wrong.
Did you hear any signs
of struggle beforehand?
No, but there were some kids,
punks, harassing me.
- What do you mean, punks?
- You know, local kids.
Took off right after I dialed 911.
Like I told the detective, they
were with me when it happened,
so it wasn't them.
Anyone else in the vicinity, cars, vans?
There was a van, gray.
I saw it driving away right
after I heard the girl scream.
You happen to catch a plate number?
Sorry. I got cataracts.
They're saying the girl
is a senator's daughter.
That true?
Yeah.
The hell was she doing
in a neighborhood like this?
All right, folks.
So Senator Becker's daughter is missing,
and we suspect foul play.
We have been able to keep
a lid on the press for now.
But this is a high-profile case,
which means sooner or later,
the eyes of the world
will be upon us.
Let's find her.
Question number one,
was Allison targeted
or is she the victim of a random attack?
Kelly, any luck tracking down
that gray van?
We're looking, but coverage
in the area is poor.
Oh, stay on it. Keep expanding the grid.
In the meantime, let's keep working
on the victim, Allison Becker.
She's 22. Uh, her father is famous.
What else do we know?
Junior at Columbia
majoring in sociology,
keeps an apartment near campus,
and I'm seeing nothing unsavory,
unless you count membership in
a Dungeons and Dragons club.
Mm.
So what was this intellectual
nerd doing in Brownsville?
Unclear. Roommate confirms that
she never made it home last night
but says that they weren't super close.
Doesn't know what
Allison was doing there.
Mm-hmm.
Ian, what are we getting from the phone
recovered from the scene?
Any evidence of threats,
fears for her safety?
Pretty tame so far.
She is not on any dating apps,
and the location services were shut off.
But, uh, still looking.
Going through her texts, her call logs.
Right.
So she's boring in the best of ways.
But her father, uh, not so boring.
Comes from a wealthy family.
His politics are controversial.
He's a mouthpiece for the left
and has a lot of power.
Which means the folks on
the right are not big fans.
But right now, that is just speculation.
Need some evidence.
Let's get some facts.
We're talking to the senator right now.
Let's see what he knows.
♪
Allison's a really good kid, you know.
I mean, almost too good,
if you know what I'm saying.
Please, sit down.
So that's why I'm always encouraging her
to go out, to have more fun.
So you have no idea who
might have taken your daughter?
No.
Any idea why she was in Brownsville?
No idea.
Well, maybe this is about you.
Have you received any threats recently?
Yeah, I get threats,
a lot of threats every day.
And some of them extend to the family.
But these threats,
they're just nonsense.
None of them are real.
None of them are actionable.
OK, what about her exes,
former partners?
I don't think she's had a serious
boyfriend since high school.
Actually, I don't think
she dates much at all.
But a couple of days ago,
last time we spoke,
she told me about some guy
that might be following her.
Well, I immediately wanted to
involve the Capitol Police.
But she [SIGHS]
She would not let me.
She said it was no big deal.
And I don't know why the hell
I listened to her.
OK. What guy?
Did she give you any details?
No, no, no, no. Nothing. Nothing.
She just downplayed the whole thing.
But I was worried, which is why
I made her put that alarm on her phone.
Well, if someone was following Allison,
we will find him.
Mm-hmm.
♪
These agents
I assume they're your best.
Absolutely.
'Cause Allison's my only child.
She's my baby.
So I want everything
that you have on this case.
Do you hear me? Everything.
I've spent decades supporting the FBI.
I have funneled appropriations
to the Bureau.
Do you hear what I'm saying?
I assure you that finding Allison
is the FBI's number one priority.
In the meantime, I want to prep you
for a possible ransom call.
Maggie, make sure that
CART is ready to trace
any incoming demands.
And OA, let's alert the JOC
about Allison's stalker.
[SIGHS]
These are from street cams
near Columbia.
And it looks like Allison was right.
Here she is leaving her
apartment two weeks ago.
See this guy?
Thought maybe he was paparazzi,
but the camera's cheap
and he's being too subtle.
- Any luck with facial rec?
- No.
All right, so this is
the only time he appeared
on the video outside
Allison's apartment?
No, he's been there
three times in the past week.
But the video quality
is even worse than this.
We're still looking for other angles.
- OK.
- Got something.
Yeah?
This is from the bank across the street.
OK.
Is that? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
All right. Run it.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
Got him.
- Adrian Bose.
- Eyes up, people.
Ex-cop with DC Metro.
Why the ex?
Looks like he was charged
with battery against his wife,
later dropped.
So he has a history
of violence against women.
Any connection to the senator?
Glancing at his socials.
It doesn't look like he's a big fan.
Two days ago, he fired off
a screed calling Becker
- a puppet and a traitor.
- All right.
- We need a location of Mr. Bose.
- OK.
He's got a permanent address
in Virginia.
Phone is currently pinging
right near the senator's home
in Lenox Hill.
He's targeting the family.
Warn the senator and his team.
Get Maggie and OA
back there immediately.
[SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC]
♪
OA, there's a blue Kia,
Virginia license plates.
Male, camera in the window.
Could be Bose.
♪
[CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING]
Adrian Bose, FBI. Get out of the car.
Whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Don't shoot.
- Where's Allison?
- Allison Becker?
How should I know?
Hey, get your hands off of me!
Allison is missing. Did you take her?
No. No, no, no.
I swear to God. I never touched her.
Where were you last night at 10:00 PM?
The Catwalk.
It's a strip club over in Jersey City.
There's an ATM receipt
in my front pocket.
Jeez.
Why are you following Allison?
Got to pay the bills.
I do oppo research for a SuperPac.
They hired me to follow
the senator and his daughter,
take snaps.
Promised me a bonus if I catch
them out in something sketchy.
Said hell yes.
I hate the guy.
So far, I got bupkis.
So then you won't mind us
taking a look at those photos.
Be my guest.
Hope it helps too.
I got no grudge against
Becker's daughter.
Check the geotag.
See if there's any photos
of Allison in the neighborhood
where she was abducted.
Copy.
Hang on. I think I got something.
Yeah?
Show and tell.
So most of the photos of
Allison are from Manhattan.
But it looks like
she was in this building
near Betsy Head Park
every Tuesday night
for the past three weeks.
OK. We like a pattern.
So maybe this is where she went
the night of the abduction.
- What's in the building?
- Checking.
Sole tenant is Sober Harbor.
It looks like a halfway house
for parole drug offenders.
What's a straight-laced
senator's daughter
doing in a place like that?
[SOFT INDISTINCT CHATTER]
♪
FBI.
We're looking for the manager here.
Right here.
Helen York, executive director.
How can I help you?
We are investigating an abduction.
It's about time.
We were wondering when you show up.
It's been three days.
Three days?
Allison disappeared last night.
Sorry. What?
Allison Becker, the senator's daughter.
She was abducted last night.
Allison was abducted?
What did you think
we were coming here for?
For Katie Ryan, one of our residents.
She went missing three days ago.
What the hell's going on here?
♪
Katie got caught up in a
drug bust a few years back,
spent 18 months in Bayview Correctional.
But she was really
turning her life around.
She's making real progress too.
♪
That's Katie there.
She looks a lot like Allison.
Different backgrounds,
same age, same hair color.
Same halfway house.
Do you think they're connected?
I think it's worth looking into, yeah.
What can you tell us about
the night that Katie disappeared?
She had a curfew pass
to have dinner with her mom.
Never made it back from the restaurant.
The next morning, Katie's mom
reported her missing to NYPD.
Here in Brownsville?
I think so. Yeah.
Move anything you want.
I got more paperwork than cabinets.
That's OK.
So Allison is missing too.
Yeah, the best we can tell,
she was taken about
four blocks from here.
But was she here last night?
Yeah. Um, from 6:00 to 10:00.
In what capacity?
As a volunteer, assistant group leader.
She started three weeks ago.
We got a program set up with
the sociology department at Columbia.
OK. Anything unusual happen last night?
No. Just another night.
No arguments, altercations?
No.
The residents are
hey, they're good girls.
Most have just fallen on hard times.
I will say,
everyone's been on edge
since Katie went missing.
What makes it worse?
No one else seems to care.
[SIREN WHOOPS]
Detective?
So it turns out I spoke
to the mother myself.
So the daughter went missing
the night before.
Took down her name, her number,
that kind of thing.
What happened next? What you learn?
- Not much.
- Meaning?
Meaning I didn't dig into it.
Standard operating procedure
is to investigate
only if there are signs
of involuntary disappearance.
There's no evidence of that.
Plus she's got drug priors.
She's living in a halfway house,
so 9 times out of 10
Yeah, no, I understand.
Checked the box and moved on.
No. I followed procedure.
Big difference.
Regardless, we're going to need to talk
to Katie Ryan's mother.
Do you have her address?
Yeah. I got it.
I don't understand.
I begged you to take this case
seriously three days ago.
You brushed me aside.
And when I called the FBI office,
after they kept me on hold for an hour,
they told me disappearances
were a local matter.
So I circled back to NYPD, but
why are you here?
What's changed?
Another girl's gone missing, Mrs. Ryan.
And we think the two cases
might be related.
We're trying to understand
what's going on.
But more importantly,
we're trying to find your daughter.
Thank you.
I appreciate that.
It's been hell, you know?
[SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC]
Feeling like nobody cares,
knowing everyone thinks
Katie probably just ran away
because of her past.
You had dinner with Katie
on Wednesday night?
Yeah. She just got into this
court reporter training program.
They gave her a new laptop
and everything.
We went to Bledsoe's BBQ
to celebrate with ribs.
OK. What time did Katie
leave the restaurant?
A couple of minutes after 10:00.
She was going to stop off
at that bodega on Milford,
grab a few things, and then call me
as soon as she got back
to the halfway house.
I waited half an hour.
She never called.
Halfway house said she wasn't
there, violated her curfew.
So I retraced Katie's route,
didn't find her anywhere,
and that's when I came to see you.
- Does Katie have a cell phone?
- Yeah.
But it died at dinner when
she was showing me pictures.
All my calls since have gone
straight to voicemail.
So it's still powered down.
We're going to get a team
to track that signal
in case it comes back online.
And we're going to head down
to that bodega right now.
Who is she?
The girl who got abducted.
♪
A college student, Allison Becker.
Did Katie ever mention her?
Yeah.
She was a new volunteer.
Katie really liked her.
Her father's a senator, right?
Yes.
[SCOFFS]
Well, that explains the cavalry.
No, Mrs. Ryan, I assure you,
we're going to do everything
we can to bring Katie home.
I just hope it's not too late.
♪
[SHAKY SIGH]
[SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC]
All right.
So this is Wednesday, 10:17 PM.
♪
Just looks like she's
buying notebooks, pens.
Listen, can you scroll
forward to when she leaves?
♪
Right there. There's her abduction.
Yeah. There's no witnesses around.
So, what,
this would've taken you, maybe,
20 minutes if you'd had done
this from the start?
- Maggie.
- We're doing this again?
You want to change
policies and procedures,
you call the commissioner.
♪
All right, look.
Based on the relative height
between Katie and that suspect,
this guy's got to be,
what, 5'9 ", 5'10"?
Yeah. A buck 50.
Right there, his skin looks white.
I'll text my lieutenant.
We'll start canvassing for more video.
OK. And we'll go through
footage that we already have,
see if the senator can ID this guy.
♪
[SIGHS] He he's wearing a mask.
I don't know who the hell that is.
So it doesn't ring any bells,
the way he walks, his build, his height.
No, nothing. Nothing.
You're certain
that this is somehow related
to Allison's abduction?
No, I am not certain.
But both girls share
similar physical traits,
and they are both linked
to the same halfway house.
All right, so they're both
volunteers there.
No. No. Katie is a resident.
Oh, so she's an addict.
It appears that way.
Do her parents have money?
No.
No. So that means that
this is not about cash.
It's about something else.
It's about something horrible.
OK. We don't know that.
And we have to remain positive.
[COMPUTER CHIMES]
Hey, Jubal, you're on
here with the senator.
Hey, we have news.
- You found her?
- No, no, not yet.
But we have a lead. You send it?
Yeah. It should have come through.
Did you get it?
♪
OK. We see it.
OK. You see that bump in Katie's pocket,
roughly 1 square inch?
- That's an
- An earbud case.
Right. Exactly.
Her phone might be dead,
but her earbuds are alive
and pinging at an unoccupied
storefront in Queens.
All right.
Send the whole team with SWAT.
Yep.
What about my daughter?
I mean, I understand you're concerned
about this other woman,
but Allison is still missing.
Listen, we're doing
everything we can to find her.
But right now,
we have a lead, a real lead,
that might help us find Katie
or her abductor.
OK. All right, all right. I get it.
I get it. I understand.
If if these two things are related,
then the more you find out
about that abduction,
then the better the odds of
finding Allison. That's right?
Exactly. We are following the evidence.
All right, but I'm going
to be perfectly frank with you,
Agent Castille.
Finding my daughter alive
needs to be your priority.
Are we clear on that?
Crystal.
♪
Go, go, go.
Front room's clear.
We got a coffee pot, a hot plate.
Clearly someone's been squatting here.
I don't see any earbuds.
Got anything?
Place is empty,
just a mattress on the floor.
No sign of any earbuds.
Okay, well, according to this,
we are right on top
of the signal,
so there's got to be a basement
even if there isn't one
in the floor plan.
Guys, there's something back here.
A door.
[GRUNTS]
♪
There's the earbuds.
Got a gold necklace
with a letter A on it.
Assuming that's for Allison.
So the creep definitely took both women.
Yeah. But where the hell are they?
♪
[SOFT INDISTINCT CHATTER]
- How's the canvass going?
- Not great.
Nearest camera's three blocks away.
Half the buildings
around here are vacant.
Nobody's paying attention
to whatever was going on here.
Well, story of the day.
Really?
You know how many people
go missing in this city every year?
Over 13,000.
So you're going to hide behind the math.
You really think I like it
that certain people
get special treatment?
Look around, sister.
You're singing from the same hymn sheet.
You really think all these people
would be involved if
a senator's kid wasn't missing?
Regardless, we have to focus,
find this guy.
Well, he didn't leave much
for us to go off of.
I mean, on the other hand,
what about what's not here?
There's no sign of forced entry,
no open window.
OK. You think he had a key?
I mean, it was locked when we got here.
Had to get in somehow.
All right.
What do we know about the owner?
Colleen Curtis. 50 years old.
Real estate investor. Unmarried.
Doesn't exactly fit the
profile of a serial abductor.
No. That doesn't mean
she's not involved.
Well, we'll find out soon enough.
Jubal notified her.
She's on her way here now.
I knew I shouldn't
have bought this place.
Thought it'd be easy money.
Neighborhood was supposed
to be up and coming.
Could raise the rent
as things gentrified.
But it's caught in permit hell.
I should have just stuck to Manhattan.
When was the last time you were here?
A few months ago maybe.
I've got a full slate of
properties in the city.
I don't have time to check
every building I own.
And who maintains them?
I hire managers,
like the caretakers. Why?
Well, it looks like whoever
did this was living here.
Unbelievable.
Ma'am, who manages this building?
Some local guy who was supposed
to come by once a week,
make sure everything was in good shape.
You don't think
We need his name now.
All right, folks, we have a suspect,
and his name is Caleb Vance,
25-year-old Queens native.
He was the caretaker of the building
where the victims were being held.
The property owner was
paying him under the table.
Doesn't know much about him.
So it is up to us to do the legwork.
- Kelly, what do we know so far?
- Yeah.
Well, he's a physical match
to the man in Katie's
abduction video, 6 foot, 195,
and he's got the record to match.
Long history of B&Es.
Which we all know is a
precursor to sexual violence.
- Any idea where he is now?
- No.
Maggie said it looked like he
was living at the storefront.
And before that, the last address
we have on file for him is Bellevue.
What? The psychiatric hospital?
Yeah. He was arrested on
stalking and harassment charges
back in 2019.
Did a six-month
court-mandated stint there,
but he's been lost
from the system ever since.
So what else do we know about him?
Phone records, financials,
family in the area?
No phone records and no known
relations besides a mother,
- now deceased.
- He's got a credit card.
Doesn't use it much except
for one large purchase
three days ago, $500 to a PayPal account
owned by a guy named Ray LaForge.
The day Katie was abducted.
Does it say what the charge is for?
Just merchandise.
What else do we know about LaForge?
Ray LaForge,
43-year-old forklift operator.
He's got two priors,
public intoxication
and misdemeanor assault.
So why would Vance
pay a guy like that $500?
Who knows? Maybe they're partners.
Either way, he's our only lead.
Yeah. Let's get Tiff and
Scola over there right away
to talk to him.
And let's get a court order for
Vance's records from Bellevue.
I want BAU to start a profile ASAP.
♪
- Yeah?
- Ray LaForge?
We're with the FBI.
We need to ask you some
questions. Can we come inside?
It's urgent.
Just you in the house today?
Sorry, guys.
Now is really not a good time.
- Whoa, whoa, wait, wait, wait.
- [WOMAN SCREAMS]
Hey! Back up.
Hands up!
♪
Uh, wait, wait, wait.
Hey, hey, I can explain.
FBI. Don't move.
- [GRUNTS]
- Stay right there.
- Ray?
- Who are you?
Maria, Maria Nuñez.
Stop.
What's happening?
I thought you said
there was no one else here.
I know. I, uh
she's not my wife.
OK.
We don't care about
your marital affairs.
We're looking for Caleb Vance.
Who?
The guy who paid you $500
three days ago.
You really going to pretend
like you don't know who he is?
Oh, uh, the guy with the van.
♪
Hey, so Ray LaForge
appears to be innocent,
other than the fact that
he was cheating on his wife
and claims to know nothing about Vance.
Says he met him on Craigslist.
Vance rolled up in a gray Chevy Astro
with cardboard taped over one
of the driver's side windows.
Gray van matches the description
of the van that took Allison.
What did Vance purchase?
Two large toy chests.
Hey. BAU just finished their
preliminary report on Vance.
Severe childhood abuse at the
hands of his single mother,
Barbara Vance,
an emotionally unavailable
prostitute and addict.
She died six months ago, leaving him
with a lot of unresolved anger.
She looks like the two victims.
Yeah, OK,
so if his mother was an addict,
that would explain why he's grabbing
women from the halfway house.
She's gone, so he is punishing
addict proxies instead.
Yeah. According to his file at Bellevue,
she would disappear for days at a time,
leaving him without food or heat.
And when she was there,
she wasn't much more maternal.
He told his counselor that she
would lock him in a toy chest
- when she lost her patience.
- Whoa, Isobel.
Vance just bought two toy chests.
He's going to lock
Katie and Allison inside them
to get revenge for what
his mother did to him.
♪
All right, folks, so here's the drill.
Our suspect Caleb Vance
recently purchased
a pair of toy chests, inside which
we believe he intends on confining
both Allison Becker and Katie Ryan.
Now, his goal may be torture,
but based on the Craigslist
photos Tiffany and Scola sent over,
I'd say the more immediate
concern is suffocation.
If that seam has a tight seal,
the girls could only have
a few hours of oxygen inside.
Less if they are hyperventilating.
Right, which means the clock
is officially ticking
even more so than it was before.
So how do we find them?
Right now, our best lead
is the gray van,
which we know is a Chevrolet
and has cardboard on the window,
- right?
- Right.
We got a BOLO out,
and we're searching for eyes.
All right. Let's get Vance's photo out
to every police department
from here to Delaware.
Isobel, that could take hours.
Do we have time to wait for a hit?
No, you're right.
You know what?
People tend to pay
more attention to cases
when they involve famous people.
Allison's father is one of the
most famous men in America,
so let's use the senator's
clout to our advantage.
Good afternoon.
Thank you very much for coming.
I'm standing before you here
today not as a politician,
but as a father pleading for your help.
Last night, my daughter, Allison Becker,
was abducted in Brownsville.
Now, for the sake of expediency,
I'm just going to be blunt.
She's in grave danger
[VOICE BREAKS]
And may not have much time.
[CLEARS THROAT]
My daughter means everything to me,
so if you see the man now
displayed on your screen
his name is Caleb Vance.
If you see him,
he is a person of interest.
If you see a gray Chevy Astro van
with cardboard covering
one of its windows, please,
please contact the FBI tip line.
Contact them immediately.
Really appreciate it.
Thank you very much.
- Excuse me, Senator.
- Can you tell us about
No. Next.
Hey.
- Hey.
- How's the response?
I mean, it's overwhelming.
Phone lines are ringing
off the hook downstairs.
Even after you screen out
the lunatics and well-wishers,
- the volume is still a problem.
- Yeah.
We need to figure out a way to separate
the wheat from the chaff here.
All right. Do we have the transcripts?
- Most of them. Yeah.
- OK.
Filter out by location
to look for shared keywords.
Right. With that many eyes
on the street,
there's bound to be some overlap.
Wait. Got multiple reports
from a gas station in Red Hook.
Man matching Vance's description
- is filling a gray Astro van.
- OK. Where?
890 Van Brunt.
- Send everyone now.
- Yeah.
♪
All right, we're passing
the gas station now.
Start the grid.
Copy that.
Moving north.
We're moving south.
Are you doing OK?
Those girls better be with Vance.
- Otherwise
- I know. I know.
If Zito just listened to Katie's mother
- in the first place
- Maggie, you got to drop that.
- Drop what?
- Put yourself in his shoes.
OK? Day after day, he catches cases
he never gets the budget to solve.
It takes a thick skin to survive that.
He is good police.
Why are you making excuses for him?
I'm not making excuses, OK?
The system failed.
Not him.

the abductions were sequential,

All right, folks.
So Senator Becker's daughter is missing,
and we suspect foul play.
We have been able to keep
a lid on the press for now.
But this is a high-profile case,
which means sooner or later,
the eyes of the world

was Allison targeted
or is she the victim of a random attack?
Kelly, any luck tracking down

What else do we know?
Junior at Columbia
majoring in sociology,
keeps an apartment near campus,

Mm.
So what was this intellectual

Unclear. Roommate confirms that
she never made it home last night
but says that they weren't super close.
Doesn't know what
Allison was doing there.
Mm-hmm.

Any evidence of threats,
fears for her safety?
Pretty tame so far.
She is not on any dating apps,

But, uh, still looking.
Going through her texts, her call logs.
Right.
So she's boring in the best of ways.
But her father, uh, not so boring.
Comes from a wealthy family.
His politics are controversial.
He's a mouthpiece for the left
and has a lot of power.
Which means the folks on
the right are not big fans.

Have you received any threats recently?
Yeah, I get threats,

None of them are real.
None of them are actionable.

like the caretakers. Why?
Well, it looks like whoever
did this was living here.
Unbelievable.
Ma'am, who manages this building?
Some local guy who was supposed
to come by once a week,
make sure everything was in good shape.
You don't think
We need his name now.
All right, folks, we have a suspect,
and his name is Caleb Vance,
25-year-old Queens native.
He was the caretaker of the building
where the victims were being held.
The property owner was
paying him under the table.
Doesn't know much about him.
So it is up to us to do the legwork.
- Kelly, what do we know so far?
- Yeah.
Well, he's a physical match
to the man in Katie's
abduction video, 6 foot, 195,
and he's got the record to match.
Long history of B&Es.
Which we all know is a
precursor to sexual violence.
- Any idea where he is now?
- No.
Maggie said it looked like he
was living at the storefront.
And before that, the last address
we have on file for him is Bellevue.
What? The psychiatric hospital?
Yeah. He was arrested on
stalking and harassment charges
back in 2019.
Did a six-month
court-mandated stint there,
but he's been lost
from the system ever since.
So what else do we know about him?
Phone records, financials,
family in the area?
No phone records and no known
relations besides a mother,
- now deceased.
- He's got a credit card.
Doesn't use it much except
for one large purchase
three days ago, $500 to a PayPal account
owned by a guy named Ray LaForge.
The day Katie was abducted.
Does it say what the charge is for?
Just merchandise.
What else do we know about LaForge?
Ray LaForge,
43-year-old forklift operator.
He's got two priors,
public intoxication
and misdemeanor assault.
So why would Vance
pay a guy like that $500?
Who knows? Maybe they're partners.
Either way, he's our only lead.
Yeah. Let's get Tiff and
Scola over there right away
to talk to him.
And let's get a court order for
Vance's records from Bellevue.
I want BAU to start a profile ASAP.

Oh, uh, the guy with the van.
♪
Hey, so Ray LaForge
appears to be innocent,
other than the fact that
he was cheating on his wife
and claims to know nothing about Vance.
Says he met him on Craigslist.
Vance rolled up in a gray Chevy Astro
with cardboard taped over one
of the driver's side windows.
Gray van matches the description
of the van that took Allison.
What did Vance purchase?
Two large toy chests.
Hey. BAU just finished their
preliminary report on Vance.
Severe childhood abuse at the
hands of his single mother,
Barbara Vance,
an emotionally unavailable
prostitute and addict.
She died six months ago, leaving him
with a lot of unresolved anger.
She looks like the two victims.
Yeah, OK,
so if his mother was an addict,
that would explain why he's grabbing
women from the halfway house.
She's gone, so he is punishing
addict proxies instead.
Yeah. According to his file at Bellevue,
she would disappear for days at a time,
leaving him without food or heat.
And when she was there,
she wasn't much more maternal.
He told his counselor that she
would lock him in a toy chest
- when she lost her patience.
- Whoa, Isobel.
Vance just bought two toy chests.
He's going to lock
Katie and Allison inside them
to get revenge for what
his mother did to him.
♪
All right, folks, so here's the drill.
Our suspect Caleb Vance
recently purchased
a pair of toy chests, inside which
we believe he intends on confining
both Allison Becker and Katie Ryan.
Now, his goal may be torture,
but based on the Craigslist
photos Tiffany and Scola sent over,
I'd say the more immediate
concern is suffocation.
If that seam has a tight seal,
the girls could only have
a few hours of oxygen inside.
Less if they are hyperventilating.
Right, which means the clock
is officially ticking
even more so than it was before.
So how do we find them?
Right now, our best lead
is the gray van,
which we know is a Chevrolet
and has cardboard on the window,
- right?
- Right.
We got a BOLO out,
and we're searching for eyes.
All right. Let's get Vance's photo out
to every police department
from here to Delaware.
Isobel, that could take hours.
Do we have time to wait for a hit?
No, you're right.
You know what?
People tend to pay
more attention to cases
when they involve famous people.
Allison's father is one of the
most famous men in America,
so let's use the senator's
clout to our advantage.
Good afternoon.
Thank you very much for coming.
I'm standing before you here
today not as a politician,
but as a father pleading for your help.
Last night, my daughter, Allison Becker,
was abducted in Brownsville.
Now, for the sake of expediency,
I'm just going to be blunt.
She's in grave danger
[VOICE BREAKS]
And may not have much time.
[CLEARS THROAT]
My daughter means everything to me,
so if you see the man now
displayed on your screen
his name is Caleb Vance.
If you see him,
he is a person of interest.
If you see a gray Chevy Astro van
with cardboard covering
one of its windows, please,
please contact the FBI tip line.
Contact them immediately.
Really appreciate it.
Thank you very much.
- Excuse me, Senator.
- Can you tell us about
No. Next.
Hey.
- Hey.
- How's the response?
I mean, it's overwhelming.
Phone lines are ringing
off the hook downstairs.
Even after you screen out
the lunatics and well-wishers,
- the volume is still a problem.
- Yeah.
We need to figure out a way to separate
the wheat from the chaff here.
All right. Do we have the transcripts?
- Most of them. Yeah.
- OK.
Filter out by location
to look for shared keywords.
Right. With that many eyes
on the street,
there's bound to be some overlap.
Wait. Got multiple reports
from a gas station in Red Hook.

- Put yourself in his shoes.
OK? Day after day, he catches cases
he never gets the budget to solve.

Allison Becker.

She lives at that halfway house.
No, she works at that halfway house.

leads group sessions
to keep addicts clean.
She's nothing like your mother.
Why should I believe you?
Because it's the truth.
First one you picked, she's an addict.
You know, she's got a lot of issues
and had some run-ins with the law.
But Allison,
she deserves better.
I need you to tell me where she is.

There's an illegal dumping site

Look, I know that Katie was a junkie,
but did we really just
sacrifice the poor girl
to find the rich one?
No, Maggie, we played the odds.
Meaning?
According to BAU,
there is almost zero chance
that Vance was holding
both girls at the same time.
The report suggests that
the abductions were sequential,
meaning Katie was probably disposed of
before Allison was ever snatched.
They put Katie's chance
of survival at 4%,
Allison's were at 35.
So this wasn't about class or money.
This was about probabilities.
