Private Eyes

And this is Sammy.

He's a two-year-old squirrel monkey from Costa Rica.

Oh, Sammy!

He's so cute! You know, he kind of reminds me

of my high school boyfriend.

Can I feed him? Absolutely.

There you go. Oh, they don't want your muffin.

Just like my high school boyfriend.

We will be right back with more cute critters

and Jimmy Orlando right after this.

That was cool. Thanks, Dad. Yeah.

Here, step down.

Figured you could miss school one morning

to hear your mom in action.

Um, about missing school,

do you remember Monica Chelsey?

I think so. Is she the girl with the nasally voice?

She's applying for a semester in Italy next year.

Italy? What for? I don't know. It sounds cool.

That country is nothing but fast cars and tight Speedos.

What kind of parent would let their 15-year-old do that?

Oh, you made it!

You were great, Mom. So good. You think so?

I can never tell.

I think that cooking segment was a bit of a bore...

You kidding me? Who knew you could

use dental floss to cut a layer cake?

What was that about?

Oh, the network wants to do a segment

that coincides with National Fitness Week.

That was my producer telling me they rejected my latest idea.

Sorry. Yeah.

If I don't come up with something soon

they're going to pre-empt me.

Oh, but you guys don't need to hear me whine.

Text from Angie. New client coming into the office.

Go. I can take Jules to school.

You sure? Yeah.

Alright, see you soon, baby.

Bye.

You were amazing. So good. I'm so glad you came!

Got here as quick as I could. This is my partner, Matt Shade.

Grace Caplan. Hi.

Hello. Her son is missing.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.

When did you discoverhe was gone?

I got a call from his section commander this morning.

His section commander?

Oh, sorry. My son is a private in the Army.

He missed roll call. Apparently

he went off base last night and he never made it back.

I have a picture of Pete here.

I know what you're thinking.

He's 19; he got drunk and ended up crashing somewhere.

But my son isn't like that. He...

Well, the army is his life.

And besides, he left me this.

So...

Hi, Mom. I just wanted you to know...

you may hear some things in the next few days, but just... just know

that I always tried to do the right thing. I love you.

Please. I know Pete.

He's in trouble.

You have to help me find him.

So where's your better half? Asked to stay behind,

said you were still pissed at her for saying your Tinder photo

looked like Ali G. Those were cool glasses.

Look, usually when a cop pulls a favour for a PI,

he's supposed to get something in return. Bottle of scotch,

concert tickets... I can't even get a latte out of you.

I got something for ya. Yeah, here you go.

One free smoked meat sandwich with the purchase

of a second sandwich of equal or greater value.

You're lucky I'm hungry.

Got the credit card records on your soldier boy.

You would not believe what I had to do to get that.

Call the credit card company? Long distance.

Most recent charge

was at a bar called Murphy's in Drummond, Ontario.

That makes sense. You said he was off base, right?

Yeah.

Spent over 400 bucks. Must've been some party.

Alright, thanks, buddy. Cuban cigars next time.

Yeah, right.

Hey, this is expired!

Yes, I understand that. Alright,

goodbye.

That sounded less than promising.

That was the public affairs officer at the base.

They won't discuss matters under internal investigation.

They wouldn't even confirm Pete was a soldier. What do you got?

A hankering to join the army.

You should see the abs on this guy.

Every photo Pete's posted

since he started serving is him on duty.

He tweets so much positive army stuff they should put him on a billboard.

Talk about be all you can be. Seems weird that a guy

like this would just up and quit, don't you think?

Who knows? People have secrets.

Who's the guy on the left?

Joe Howard. Pete and him are pretty tight.

And also another soldier, Tom Wallace.

I call them The Three Amigos.

Or "Ab-migos".

You know, 'cause...

Alright, I'm still working on the nicknames.

Can you send me a picture of those three? Shirts on.

Oh. Hey, how's it going?

Just finished up with Mazhari. Looks like our buddy Pete

dropped 400 and change at a bar in Drummond last night.

Well, let's get up there and check it out.

Pick you up in twenty?

Fine. But I choose the podcast this time.

OK...

Fancy meeting you here, soldier.

Interesting choice of words. What're you doing here?

Well, I got caught trying to knock off a liquor store.

They're trying to clear out some holding cells and I need

to review some paperwork. It's really boring.

It's not boring at all. The suit would look good...

No, no, not here. I'm supposed to be an authority figure.

And I'm supposed to be a good boy, but that never stopped me.

Well, we will continue

this conversation over dinner on Friday night.

You know what? Friday, I can't.

It's a Jules night for me now. Becca switched on me last minute.

Ah, the mysterious daughter.

Yeah. Well, I'm late. I should go.

Then she gives me this look

like I just clubbed a baby seal.

I mean, you'd think she'd be happy to be with a guy

who wants to spend time with his daughter. Am I wrong?

How long have you two been dating?

Two months.

Uh-huh... What does that mean?

Two months is like an eternity in today's day and age.

She's probably just wondering where it's going.

It's going down the normal path of a relationship,

that's where it's going.

Have you met any of her family?

Uh... yeah, her brother.

Her mother. Oh, and her great-aunt Louella.

Oh, you think she's upset

because I haven't introduced her to Jules?

That's exactly why she's upset. She said she was fine

not meeting Jules. Besides, I don't think Jules is ready

for it yet.

Jules, or you?

Go ahead and get it. I'm very good at not listening.

Oh, I know that about you.

It's fine. I'll call him later.

Haven't seen the good doctor in a while.

Did one of you pull the plug?

No, it's all good. He's been

at a conference all week.

Oh, really? About what? Um, doctor...

medical devices. Doctor medical devices, hm?

He didn't elaborate, OK?

Just keep your eyes on the road, please.

Ah, this is my kind of bar.

A place where everybody knows your name.

Hey.

Do I know you? Yeah, Matt Shade.

Former hockey player?

I'll take two bottles of beer.

Whatever's popular.

Smooth. Thanks.

Shadow?

Holy crap!

You were saying?

How you doing?

What are you doing here? Good, man.

We're looking for a guy who was here last night,

Private Pete Caplan.

Oh yeah, sure. He was here.

With a couple of his buddies. These guys?

Yeah. You guys were playing pool with them, right?

We might have taken a couple of games from 'em.

What's this about?

I owe Pete some money from some memorabilia

he sold me a couple years ago. Did he say where he was going?

I assume back to the base. We checked, he didn't make it.

That's weird. Did you guys talk to them at all?

Oh, they were pretty trashed by the time they got to us.

I think they were celebrating something.

Here you go.

Thanks. Here, these are for you guys.

Enjoy.

Hey man, cheers. Yep.

What do you think?

I don't know. Seems like a normal night out

with your buddies.

Those guys at the bar said they were living it up.

Maybe Pete was throwing himself a farewell party.

To go where? Do what? Excuse me?

I couldn't help but overhear.

Those soldiers you were asking about?

I don't think they were celebrating.

Why do you say that?

I was there when they paid the bill. The first two guys
