Without a Trace s07e18 Episode Script

Pork chop baked sweet potato and green beans swimming in butter.
Bratwurst with sauerkraut.
I'm gonna have to take you to a ball game to get you something to eat.
If my feet could talk, they'd be creatures once in the ball.
- That's tasty.
- Thank you.
I thawed it myself.
- You're leaving? - Yes, I am.
Although I'm gonna be completely useless at work today.
Thank you very much.
You may need to call in sick.
How about dinner? How about if we skip dinner? I just want to thaw you some more cake.
- I really got to go to work.
- There are delays on the subway.
I hear that.
Did she ask for anyone? No.
All she told me is that her husband ditched her and she's getting thrown out of her apartment.
Hey, guys, can you give us a minute, please? Thanks.
Don't come any closer.
I'm Justin Morgan.
The officer who talked to you called me.
I just want to see if I can help.
I don't want to feel like this anymore.
I know.
I know.
And it's easy for me to say, but you will feel better.
I mean, maybe not right now, and not all at once, but it will happen.
I don't know if I can wait.
I noticed a a prescription bottle in your purse.
- It didn't work.
- Right, but if you bothered to go fill a prescription, then you thought there was some reason to stay alive.
Hey, look I get it.
You have had some tough breaks, and people have used you to make themselves feel better, but you are the one standing on a ledge, not your ex-husband, not not the people down in the street.
So please, don't let them choose for you.
Come on.
I can get you a better medicine.
I'll get you somebody to talk to and we will find daylight, I promise.
You're gonna be okay, I promise.
I got you.
It's okay.
You're gonna be okay.
These guys are gonna take care of you.
We should hire this decorator for our apartment.
I think decor's the least of this guy's worries.
I was talking to the cop outside.
He said that Dr.
Morgan stopped a suicide last night.
Any chance the jumper did this? Maybe she wasn't happy to be saved.
That's impossible.
She's been at Bellevue since the incident.
You know, this smells a lot more like a patient with a secret that's worried about Dr.
Morgan opening his mouth.
Maybe he knew he was in trouble.
Did you see this? It's a CH-125 form.
It's a temporary restraining order.
- Does it have a name on it? - No, he hasn't filled it out yet.
Well, I did manage to catch this.
Come over here.
It looks like someone took all of these.
And whoever it is belongs in a file right there.
Yeah, but if you just want a file, do you have to take the doctor, too? Without A Trace Season 7 Episode 18 "Daylight" The Underground Black Sheeps Team.
When I headed to my office, I saw the door was ajar.
Then I saw the mess.
I immediately started making calls.
I called a number of our colleagues; I even tried his girlfriend Monica just in case he'd gone to Chicago without telling anyone but she didn't know anything.
All right, I'm gonna need her number.
Sure.
I I had to look it up.
Unless one of you flipped it over, it should be there.
So that's why your fingerprints are gonna be all over our evidence.
If a patient breaks in for their file, it means that they're hiding something.
You have any idea who it might be? With Justin's practice, it could be a lot of people.
What's his specialty? He works almost exclusively with violent offenders and their victims.
Like Walter Truitt.
Justin's too professional to reveal his clients' names.
He filed a restraining order against this one.
Yeah, he was here last week.
There was a custody evaluation Look, I'm-I'm sorry, Walter.
I'm not gonna change the recommendation.
She-She's telling a bunch of lies just to keep me away from them.
That might be the case, but this isn't about your wife's testimony.
I-I would I would never hurt my kids.
You know what? If you want talking about this, step back inside my office.
I'm gonna I'm gonna tell the judge to get me another therapist.
Okay, that's your right, Walter, but it's not going to solve your problems.
Let met give you the name of somebody who can help you to channel your Screw you! You think you can sit here in judgment on me, and- and take away my kids.
I will knock your teeth out before I let you do that.
Do not threaten me.
It wasn't the first time he'd had a confrontation like that.
He make it a habit to get in people's faces? Justin got through to a lot of his aggressive clients.
He believed that most bullies prey on the weak, and if he didn't back down, they would.
Just because someone backs down, doesn't mean they stay down.
Okay.
Thank you, Mrs.
Truitt.
So Walter Truitt's ex-wife doesn't know where he is, but she hopes that we "bust his ass" when we find him.
Well, I'm sure Walter will make that easy.
All right, according to a co-worker, Morgan's girlfriend got on a plane to New York as soon as she heard the police were involved.
What, you couldn't find a comb this morning? I wasn't going to say anything.
I've just decided to let myself go.
Do we have that client list yet? We're waiting on a subpoena.
Spade.
Now, last week, Morgan spoke to Butch Jackson, an assault and battery specialist, according to his rap sheet.
They talk regularly? Looking at what I have here, not in the last six months.
All right.
Show him down to Interview 1.
I'll be right there.
- You need one of us? - No.
I'm good.
I I'll be back in a minute.
How'd it go at the museum? They offered me the job.
Great! Congratulations.
That's great.
The part they left out is that for the first month of this marketing job I'll be on a research trip.
I came by because I wanna make sure we're okay with me leaving town.
I, I don't that's not really my decision Well, I just mean, if you think Finn would get confused, or you don't like the message it sends about my commitment.
I wanna talk about it.
That's all.
You know, I have this theory.
Babies are kind of like dogs They have no concept of time.
So you're okay? Yes.
That's what I'm trying to say.
I appreciate you asking me.
I do.
Great.
Well, one month and I'll come back with lots of stories about the nesting patterns of migratory waterfowl.
Really? I never seen him before.
Okay Butch, why did Justin Morgan call you last week? I used to be a patient.
He was just checking in.
Right.
So you said that you just started a new job - and you need to get back to work.
- I do.
Right.
So, I suggest you stop shoveling crap.
Otherwise you'll be here all day.
- I don't want get the guy in trouble.
- I'd focus on Butch right now.
I hadn't heard from Dr.
Morgan in over a year.
Out of the blue, he calls me and says he needs my help.
What kind? He needed some information from someone.
He wanted you to muscle someone? He wanted information.
We didn't talk about the technique I would use.
Did he say who the mark was? No, all he said was that it was someone who wouldn't listen to him.
And I didn't ask any more questions after that.
Have you seen or heard from him since? - No.
- Did he seem scared? But he was a therapist trying to hire an enforcer.
I guess it was par for the course.
Great.
Thank you very much.
What's going on? We tracked down the custody guy, Walter Truitt.
He admitted to trashing the office, stealing the files, but he has a rock-solid alibi for the disappearance.
He's in the slammer.
Almost.
Right after he trashed the office, went back to the bar where he'd been enjoying himself and got into a fight.
Ended up at Mercy under police supervision.
That's pretty rock-solid.
So, how's you know, what's his name Brian? Brian actually got a marketing job at the Natural History Museum.
Really? Do stuffed animals need marketing? I think it's a bunch of fundraisers, press releases, a little bit of science mixed in.
Great.
You're jealous? I'm not jealous.
I'm glad the guy's getting his act together.
No, I am, too.
I think he he wants to be a good father, you know? Look.
Brian, he's over here in this box? And, and you-you're over here in this box, and the two are completely different.
They don't you know? Except the Brian box is a lot younger and a hell of a lot more attractive.
You know what? I take it back.
You're not jealous.
- You have a crush on Brian.
- I'm starting to warm to the guy.
They just brought in the girlfriend.
I'm gonna I'll get Martin and Elena to take care of it.
How long have you been dating Dr.
Morgan? About three years.
I moved to Chicago a year and a half ago, and we've been long-distance since.
Did he mention any trouble he was having maybe with a patient? No, Justin is great with his patients.
He doesn't give up on them.
Well, maybe it was a personal issue.
Drug or alcohol problem? - You mean, is he drinking again? - Is he? He goes to meetings every week.
He's been sober for 15 years.
There's no way he'd give that up.
Something else has to be going on.
Have you spoken to his brother? We didn't know he had a brother.
He doesn't mention him with most people.
He's even hesitant with me.
The receptionist told me you were still in here.
- I thought we're meeting downstairs.
- You know what? I lost track of time.
I'm sorry.
- What's going on? - Oh, it's nothing.
- That's Matthew's police file.
- Let's go.
This is why you've suddenly backtracked? Decided you're not ready to move to Chicago? He's innocent.
Okay, a month ago you told me you need some distance from him.
This is just another kind of addiction, isn't it? You can't give up on your brother, the rapist.
- You don't know him.
- I don't want to know him.
God, Justin, are you gonna let him ruin your life? This time it's different.
I can finally prove that he didn't do it.
Your father beat you both, Justin.
It is not your fault that he ended up the way he did.
Okay Please, Monica, I need more time.
Take all the time you need.
It wasn't quite a breakup, but things have been tense since.
You know the details of the case? Six or seven rapes over a three-year period.
I don't know much more than that.
Okay, now he said that he could prove that his brother was innocent.
Has he said that before? Now that you mention it, no.
Okay, what are the chances that his brother is really innocent? Statistically? Slim to none.
Let's say he is and that's why he went to talk to Butch.
Justin needs a confession from the real rapist to get his brother out of jail.
That's what I call a bad plan.
The lead detective on the case said that Justin Morgan went to the court every day.
Now four years ago, he paid a top-class defense attorney to file an appeal.
They ever point a finger on another proof? NYPD wouldn't listen.
From their perspective, Matthew Morgan was guilty.
- What about DNA? - It was compromised.
Apparently, he dated all of the women that he attacked.
There had to be more to this case than that.
The masked assailant used a cable company ID to gain entrance.
Matthew Morgan worked at the cable company.
What's the psych rap on a guy like this? "The failure of the initial encounter" triggered the patient's anger toward "his own mother for her failure to love him adequately.
" In English? Matthew Morgan's father beat him so badly, he was sent to the hospital ten times before he was 15.
The mother didn't stop it.
Look at this.
All the victims have similar scratches on their necks.
I can't believe that the initial investigation - didn't get anything from this.
- The assailant choked his victims.
- They thought there was nothing.
- These marks are deliberate.
I'm gonna run these pictures to Tech.
I'll bet you our toys are better than NYPD's.
You need anything else? No.
I'm good.
Shut up.
- You? - No.
I'll let you know when I'm done.
Thank you.
Special Agent Malone, FBI.
Fancy.
No one told me, or I I would have put on my best coveralls.
Your brother Justin is missing.
His office was found trashed.
Really? He's unaccounted for the last 20 hours.
Well, maybe he's at a conference or something.
Do you honestly think that I would come all the way down and talk to you if he was at a conference or something? I checked the logs.
He came to visit you three days ago.
Why? He's my brother.
He visits all the time, you know, just to check in.
Is that sun getting in your eyes? Is it bothering you? Let me take care of it.
So why did he come to visit? Like I said, you know, he visits all the time.
Yes, but he doesn't usually go missing afterwards, does he? He told me he was he was making some changes.
You look You look like you've gained some weight.
Some joker filed a lawsuit, saying that the state wasn't giving us our caloric requirements.
What did they do? They started giving us more cornbread.
That's ridiculous.
You look good.
I mean, you look good.
What's going on? What? You're nervous.
You don't do nervous.
Come on.
What's up? Remember I was I've been talking about Monica, yeah? Yeah.
Yeah, good for you.
That's great, man.
Thanks.
She lives in Chicago, and she has a terrific job.
And we want to be together, so so I'm gonna move there.
- To Chicago? - Yeah.
She can't She can't move here? It's-it's like I said, she has a really good job.
So when would you move? You know, as soon as I can set up all my patients with new therapists.
So soon? So, how are you even gonna get here from there? I'm not going to lie.
I'm not gonna get the chance - to visit you as often.
- You're never gonna visit.
No, I'm gonna try my best, Matthew.
And I know that this is gonna be hard for you, but I need to do this.
For me.
Matthew? You want to say anything about it? The weather stinks in Chicago.
You know, he promised he would he'd come back before he moved and and that was it.
He's been spending a great deal of his time going around trying to prove that you're innocent.
Well, that's nice to hear.
I didn't know anything about it, - So you can't help me? - No.
Look, I'm not in here for hating my brother.
You know? If he's in trouble, and I could help, I would.
Okay.
Thank you.
Thank you.
No, I'm not Justin's sponsor.
I just run the meetings.
I appreciate you coming down here.
Well, Doc's a good guy.
We're hoping Justin might have said something at one of these meetings that will help explain where he is.
We're not really supposed to talk about that stuff.
And yet, you came all the way down here when we called, which makes me think that you want to help.
Look, Joe, I know how this works.
Anything you say to me it goes no further.
After we finished, it was like he'd seen a ghost.
Hey.
Hey, do you know where that Kylie went? - Which one was she? - She said it was her first meeting.
When I was drinking that fifth tequila, if someone had walked up to me and said, "Hey, "Kylie, "is that smart? You think you can take care of yourself now?," I would have spit in their eye.
But maybe it would have stopped me.
Maybe I would have been smart enough not to open my door for the cable guy.
Maybe I could have screamed for help, but I didn't do those things and He raped me.
Now, what am I supposed to do? Look, I just need to talk to her.
She's gone.
I don't know what to tell you.
Okay, Joe, her rape matches the rapes my brother was accused of committing.
- I have to see what else she knows.
- I'm sorry.
I I don't know her.
Okay.
Thanks.
I met her friend Shannon at coffee.
I run the meeting, so I had the sign-in sheet.
Shannon left a number.
I'm not supposed to give out stuff like that, but I did.
You know, I'm going to need that number.
Yes.
Okay.
Thank you.
So, it looks like Dr.
Morgan is on the trail of a victim, not a perpetrator.
Can we get NYPD to help us track her down? I called them, but they don't have new cases that match Matthew Morgan's MO.
Well, I've got something from Tech.
They made a holographic unification, using scratches from the victims' necks.
I'm supposed to know what that means? It means, have you seen an implement with an edge like that? You know what? - You got to be kidding me.
- No.
I got these from Dr.
Morgan's apartment, and I had ERT take this shot in case we needed the school information for deep background.
- Look at that.
- Oh, my God.
So, what, he turns it around on his finger and brands his victims as he's choking 'em? That's deep.
The evidence that put Matthew Morgan in jail is circumstantial.
Maybe they convicted the wrong brother.
You think Justin Morgan's the real rapist? I can't rule it out.
Which means that he's not looking for Kylie so that she comes forward; he's looking for her so that she doesn't.
Exactly.
I think you're innocent.
Good.
It's the truth.
Then, aren't you curious? Don't you want to know who the real rapist is? I mean, he's the reason that you're wasting away in this dump.
Who is he? Justin Morgan.
My brother.
You're - you're funny.
- Yeah, I'm, I'm a real funny guy.
Have you ever seen this woman? We believe that she's the latest victim of your brother's.
Based on what kind of evidence? Your father had a class ring.
It was used in all the rapes.
We found it in your brother's possession.
I know the ring you're talking about.
No, I've never seen her before.
Well, interesting, because the manner in which she described her rape matched your MO, but you're in here, so that kind of eliminates you from the equation.
Look, Justin is not a rapist, okay? I don't care if he's the Archduke of Canterbury.
I just want to find him and you lied to me the last time that I was here.
Look, no, he, - he came to say good-bye, like I said.
- Really? You sure he wasn't going on the run because he'd been ID'd by one of his victims? I'd like to go now.
I can help you get out of here if you cooperate with me.
You think I would sell out my own brother? That's an interesting perspective.
I wouldn't think that an innocent man would see it as selling out.
No deals.
- Malone.
- Okay, so Brian's ride to the airport fell through, and I just I thought I'd take him.
What are those you know, those yellow things that swarm around New York City? That's right, cabs.
- Why doesn't he get a cab? - We just we still have baby stuff to work out.
That's all, and Danny said he would cover for me.
See, see that? He just did a hand thingy to say that it's okay.
- What's a hand thingy? - You know, a gesture of acknowledgment.
Could you please decide, Jack? 'Cause I got What do I get if I say yes? Maybe I'll show you later.
Can I go? Hey, don't let me stand in the way.
Bye.
Did I just hear sexy talk? Yep.
Agent Fitzgerald.
I worked the scene out at that cabin.
- Looks like you had a hell of a battle.
- What's up? The weapon your vic used came up with a problem.
Turns out the serial number was filed off.
I wanted to circle back with you before going any further.
I appreciate that.
Let me look this over and I'll get back to you, okay? No worries.
Drop it.
I don't think you're giving me the whole story.
I didn't do anything.
Are you okay? Yeah, yeah, I'm good.
So I was able to contact Shannon on her cell.
She's on her way in.
Okay, okay.
Hello, are you sure you're okay? Yeah, I'm fine.
I'll be back in a minute.
Elena.
Don't waste your time asking Shannon about a Kylie.
I'm pretty sure that name's an alias.
Check this out.
I've been looking at the prison security video and this woman keeps popping up.
In the last two weeks she's visited Matthew eight times.
Her name is Marci Simpkins and she matches Kylie's description.
I want you to tell me about Marci Simpkins, and this time do your best not to lie to me.
She's a friend.
Oh, I would say she's a little more than a friend.
She's a prison groupie.
She's been writing to you and visiting you for the last six months.
Okay.
We're in a relationship, all right? Nothing wrong with that.
What's wrong is that she showed up at your brother's meeting claiming to have been raped using facts that only the real rapist would know, and that would be you.
I don't know what you're talking about.
You don't.
You know, you and I have a lot more in common than you think.
Really? How's that? My father was a particularly violent man who beat the crap out of me every day, so I have a pretty good idea of what you would like me to do next.
What's that? Beat the crap out of you for lying to me.
And why would I want that? Because that's where you live, that's all you know, and it would distract you from the fact that you're alone.
- I'm not alone.
- Oh, yeah, you are, and when your brother goes to Chicago, you're going to be even more alone.
You sent Marci to that meeting.
You wanted your brother to keep fighting for you.
Now, I don't know the details of the particular hell that you went through, but I know that your brother does, and I know that that's how you maintain control over him.
I love my brother and I want him back.
So tell me what happened on the last visit.
Well, he knew about Marci.
You sent your girlfriend to my AA meeting? Look, I didn't know what to do.
- So you used me? - No.
It wasn't like that, you know, I I just I thought that if you had a new reason to believe I was innocent Which, which you aren't and you never were.
- I didn't want you to go to Chicago.
- So y so you lied to me, man.
All this time, you lied to me.
I didn't want you to leave me here alone, all right? Bro, you're all I have in the world.
Now you have a girlfriend, and she can come and visit you.
No, it's not the same.
We're family.
You understand.
You know, you you know why I, I did these things.
- No, I don't.
- You know what Dad did to us.
Matthew, you know what? You know what? Dad did not make you rape those women, Matthew.
You cannot keep falling back on that your entire life.
You had a choice.
You had a choice.
Do you even realize how much I have lost fighting for you? - I'm sorry.
- You're sorry.
You don't even care because it has always - been about you.
- No, look, you can't leave me.
Justin.
Jus.
This is what I'm going to do.
I'm gonna go and find Monica.
I'm gonna see if she'll take me back, - and I'm never going to see you again.
- Jus, Jus, J Then, after he left Marci showed up.
I blew up at her, told her it was over.
She begged me to change my mind, and then she said that she was going to go have a word with Justin.
- A word about what? - I don't know.
You know, about me, about not leaving.
And when was this? Yesterday.
You're unbelievable.
Look, Shannon, we know Marci went to go see Justin Morgan, okay? Marci didn't mention it to me.
I already told you.
You're not helping her by lying to us.
I'm not lying! Call it what you want, but I'm convinced that you're not telling the truth.
He called me a couple of days ago.
He wanted to talk to Marci.
Why? He wanted to talk about the rape she mentioned at the AA meeting.
She was worried so I went with her.
I don't think he got what he wanted though.
I know it's hard, but do you mind if I ask you a few more questions? Okay.
You mentioned a scratch on your neck.
Did that happen during the rape? Yes.
Can you describe your attacker? I didn't see much.
He had a mask.
I've counseled many rape victims and there are some things here that aren't adding up.
I'm sorry.
I I wish I could remember more.
It's not about your memory.
You're relaxed and comfortable sitting across from me.
You don't exhibit any signs of trauma.
You let me, a perfect stranger, touch your arm without reacting.
Real rape victims respond differently in these situations.
So, let me ask you something.
Where did you hear the story? - What story? - About my brother's case.
You weren't raped.
Who told you? I-I don't understand what you're talking about.
You come because I would be there? - Shannon, please tell him to go.
- Sir, you better leave her alone.
Okay.
Maybe I should call the police.
Because they would be very interested to find out what this is about.
Matthew loves you! What? He doesn't want you to leave.
He needs you, Justin.
You can't go to Chicago.
Your brother is innocent, - and we can prove it together! - You know what? I'm gonna go.
- Well, I just want to help him.
- Stay away from me! Marci didn't know what to do.
She felt like she let Matthew down.
She's attracted to men like him.
- What, convicts? - Yes.
The violent kind.
Matthew was special to her.
When she told him what had happened to Justin, he got very angry and wouldn't talk to her.
So, she went to meet Justin to patch things up.
When did she go talk to him? This morning.
I haven't seen her since.
Matthew.
So, what'd Marci say? I don't know.
Wait.
What do you mean? You - You didn't talk to her? - No, we want to talk to her.
We just can't find her.
She went to see your brother and nobody's seen her since.
I didn't tell her to do anything to Justin.
I know.
But there is absolutely nothing she would not do for you.
I would suggest that you call her and tell her that you want to see her.
It's the only way you're ever gonna find out what happened to your brother.
Make the call, Matt.
I'm here to see Matthew.
Yeah, I know.
Sit down.
Sit.
Do you have any idea who I am? No.
I'm with the FBI.
I'm looking for Justin Morgan.
- I want to see Matthew now.
- And I will allow you to see Matthew when you tell me what happened to Justin.
But if you're dishonest with me, Matthew is gonna turn right around and go back to his cell.
And I don't think that's the way you want this story to end.
Okay.
Have it your way.
It was an accident.
I called him.
He wouldn't call me back.
So, I snuck into his building and I called him again and I told him I would end it if he didn't talk to me.
Hey, Marci? Matthew won't talk to me.
He says it's all my fault.
Marci, put the gun down.
You have to talk to him.
You're his brother.
Okay.
But first we need to get you some help.
No.
I need Matthew.
He's the only person in the world for me.
Marci Don't let him do this to you.
Please, just just give me the gun.
I'm tired of being alone.
I know.
I know.
He shouldn't have gotten in the way.
Was he dead? I couldn't tell.
Do I get to see Matthew now? Agent Fitzgerald? - Where did they take him? - He's in surgery, but they said he's gonna be okay.
- Is there anybody I can call for you? - No, I-I'm fine.
Okay, the nurse right there gonna be able to help you out and give you all the information you need.
Thank you for finding Justin.
No, I-I'm glad we could help.
Kim.
What are you doing? Just finishing up work.
That's good.
Do you want to come over? I don't know.
I got to get back to the office.
Clean up some paperwork.
It could be a while.
Okay, I can wait.
I'd hate to keep you up past your bedtime.
I like to stay up past my bedtime.
Come over.
I'll cook you dinner.
All right, you know as long as it's not bratwurst and sauerkraut, I'm in.
Okay, I'll - I'll see you in a bit.
- See you in a bit.
I would've given you a hard time, too.
Giving a guy a ride to the airport No, it's not like he's the classic jealous boyfriend.
No, not at all.
He just looks the part.
No, but seriously, he's handled this all pretty well.
Better than I would.
You seem happy.
- Do I? - Yeah, you do.
