Without a Trace

- Why are you so nervous? - I don't do this often, Jack.

Look, he's a really nice guy.

Nothing like me.

He's fun, he's capable of having a commitment.

- Hey, come on, you're married. - And your point is?

Look, he's the kind of guy,

the kind of guy that comes home to dinner.

Okay.

Okay? And he's got a job, unlike your other loser boyfriends.

He's... he's, like, one of the best agents I've ever worked with.

But not the best.

- You're the best agent you ever worked with. - I am the best agent I ever worked with.

- What about me? - You're the prettiest agent I ever worked with.

- Thank you very much. - No, okay, no, you were a fantastic...

Hey, he's coming.

He's cute.

- Hey. - Hey!

Ann, Max. Max, Ann.

- Ann. Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you. Thank you very much.

You're even smarter than Jack said you were.

I didn't say she was smart. Come on!

- You drinking? - Yeah, I would love a drink.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

You have a beautiful smile.

Ray!

- I want to see him. - I don't know if that's a good idea.

What the hell happened?

There was a shooting. We don't know the full story yet

You have any idea what Jimmy was doing know all the way out here?

Not at this hour.

Could it have been something for the case?

A lead he couldn't follow during work hours without blowing his cover?

I don't know.

I got a woman across the street who claims she spotted

a late-model Audi leaving the scene headed south on Brigg Street.

Did she get specifics?

- Plates, partials, anything to go on? - Just saw the car and the body.

What about the driver? Did she see the driver?

I'm afraid not.

Okay. Let's extend our perimeter six blocks,

see if we can find someone that got a good look at that car.

Listen, we're going to need an update

on the status of yours and Jimmy's investigation.

Why don't you back to the office and start a statement?

Max, you hear me?

Yeah.

We're gonna find out what happened to Jimmy.

Hey, come on, what are these people doing here ?

Let's shut this area down

Let's go, come on. Come on, come on.

Yeah?

Hey, Ray, what's up?

When was this?

Did he swipe his ID through security?

Okay.

Did you look in the parking lot, check for his car?

Yeah, yeah, of course you did, sorry.

Um... what about Ann, have you talked to her?

I'll tell you what, let me follow up with her.

Okay.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay.

Let me know if you hear anything else.

Thanks.

How you doin'?

- Have you heard anything? - No, not yet.

Uh, get in the car. Come on.

I'm sorry this is happening, honey

I checked the messages.

He did call last night.

And I didn't hear it.

I was asleep... I don't know, too tired.

Received, 2:34 a.m.

It's me.

Oh, God, I wish I was talking to you right now.

Oh... I just... I just don't know what to do.

Everything is so screwed up.

Jimmy was shot tonight.

It's all my fault.

I'm so sorry, honey.

For everything.

But no matter what happens,

I want you to know that I love you.

That's it.

What is it that he thinks is all his fault?

Jimmy and Max were working on an industrial espionage case.

Jimmy wanted to go undercover. Max didn't think he was ready.

Max was his supervisor.

If he didn't want the kid undercover, how'd he get there?

Jimmy went over his head.

Went right to Pallides.

It's been so hard for him lately, Jack.

So hard.

It's all right, honey. We're gonna find him

Okay.

So what you got on Max Cassidy?

Ah, everything is in motion, but nothing so far.

What about his cell phone?

The call to his wife was the last activity,

and that call came from somewhere around La Guardia.

Okay.

Jimmy took one shot to the head, two to the chest from a .22.

Professional hit.

Yeah. I'm thinking whoever shot Jimmy

might have followed Max when he left the crime scene.

Well, no John Does have turned up.

So maybe he's running,

though I don't understand why he doesn't come in for help.

What were they working on?

A mechanical engineering firm in West Orange thought that

one its employees was stealing corporate secrets.

Jimmy was undercover, trying to find out who.

Danny and Elena are talking to the CEO.

My God, Jimmy Haggerty's dead?

Yes. And Max Cassidy has been missing since late last night.

- Max must have been right. - Right about what, Mr. Henner ?

The investigation being compromised.

He told you that?

Last week. Someone inside the company

tried to get into Jimmy Haggerty's personnel records.

I didn't think it was a big deal.

The security software sends an alert to the system administrator, who shut down access immiately.

- Jimmy's was the only file affected? - Yeah, but I'm sure it's nothing.

I'm sorry, Phil,

but we can't ignore the fact that Jimmy's cover may have been blown.

- Meaning what? - I'm going to have to pull Jimmy out.

But the software worked. Whoever was trying to look at this information...

FBI protocol clearly dictates if there is any concern over an agent's safety,

he must be extracted immediately.

Does FBI protocol say to kiss off all the progress we've been making, too?

We've narrowed the list of suspect employees down to four.

We'll keep investigating them.

Somehow I don't find that entirely reassuring.

Phil, I've been doing this a long time.

This is the right thing to do.

And also, it's your only option.

But then he called later that night, said he changed his mind,

and decided to leave Jimmy in after all.

Why did you call the FBI in the first place?

We're finalists for an army contract.

It's a new fuel system for desert vehicles.

About two months ago, someone broke into our server

They didn't get the designs,

but I was afraid they'd come back.

You're sure that this fuel system is what they were after?

It's a pretty big contract.

And Max never told you why he left Jimmy inside the company?

No, I just assumed he found out his ID was still secure.

But now, I mean, it looks like we were both wrong.

So everybody I talk to about this case, they've heard rumors.

Max had some kind of run-in with an AD about five years ago.

Uh-huh. Max blew the whistle.

Something about misappropriation of funds.

Yeah, was he right?

Well, apparently it didn't matter.

The AD got to retire, Max was blackballed,

went from major crimes to white collar.

No good deed goes unpunished.

I'm sure You all know Special Agent Ann Cassidy.

Hey. Hello.

So how we doing?

Well, I've got a list of four suspects in Max's espionnage case.

Do you recognize any of the names?

No.

Okay, I think I got something here.

The night Max did his 180 on Jimmy, he was at a bar on 8th Street.

He spent $107.

Closed his tab out right before 10:00.

It's a pretty sizeable tab, He could have been there for a while, or he wasn't alone.

Either one of those ideas a possibility?

Well, he liked to go out for a drink after work,

but that's pretty big, even for him.

Listen, if you want to use my office while we do this...

Sam, could you meet me at the elevator?

Sure.

Thank you.

You working the bar last Friday night?

Every Friday. Why?

You recognize this guy?

Sure, Scotch on the rocks.

Planted himself right where you are.

Hung out for a few good hours, too.

That's a pretty good memory you got there.

It's not every night you get an old timer squaring off

with a guy nearly half his age.

- Like hell, Max., You're not pulling me out. - People are getting suspicious.

- They're trying to find out who you are. - You know what?

- You might want to think about what you're doing here. - I know exactly what I'm doing.

And that's enough for you.

You want to stop pretending like you're out there trying to protect me?

Guys, take it easy, or take it outside.

Okay.

You want to pull me, Max? Go for it

But don't be surprised when Ann comes around

asking where you really were all those nights that you were supposed to be out with me.

Yeah, you see, I think it's going to break her heart

when she finds out you were really off banging your new girlfriend.

Don't you think?

Thanks for the drinks, boss.
