Without a Trace

Previously on Without A Trace...

I took the liberty to clear some time on your calendar.

Therapeutic assessment related to lethal action.

Right.

OPR.

What's that?

Brian Donovan.

I need to know who you are before I let you in my baby's life.

So you run a background check on me?

This is a waiver of paternal rights signed by the father of my child

who now wants nothing to do with me

or the baby.

He didn't exactly come through, did he?

You just dig up dirt on this guy. You have no idea what you've done!

It's none of your business!

Warrantless searches,

witness intimidation.

What's amazing

about this OPR investigation isn't what you did.

It's that you've done it all before.

I stand behind

every single one of my actions,

and I don't care about the consequences.

Agent Malone, we're ready to get started.

- Enjoy your latte. - I always do.

What can I get you?

- Is the mint latte good? - Everything's good.

Hey, how'd it go?

You know, like OPR goes.

They asked questions. I answered them.

Don't worry. You'll get your chance this afternoon.

Seems like a very dramatic way to get a free cup of coffee.

Yeah. Employee named Millie Brown opened the store this morning at 7:00.

The owner came in a hour later, found it looking like this.

Then he decided to look at the security tape. Here, check it out.

We found the shell casing right over there.

ERT is hoping they can pull a print from it.

And then...

see, eventually just forces

them right out the back door.

He doesn't even look at the cash register.

Yeah, I think that rules out robbery.

But that makes the customers a target.

- Any other cameras in here? - No. But...

Elena's hoping that we might be to grab something off one of the street cams.

All right, so the only person we can ID is the girl.

Right, the barista?

Yeah, I'm afraid so.

I'm going to need a triple shot for this one.

Without A Trace Season 6x18 Satellites

- Still no IDs on our victims, huh? - No, just the barista.

NYPD's helping with the canvass, so something's got to pop.

Why does a guy abduct four people?

I don't know, but it wasn't random.

He wore a hat to hide his face. He was in and out of there fast.

- The man had a plan. - He targeted them.

Or one of them, and he didn't want any witnesses.

I guarantee, we find who they are, we're going to find who he is.

Let's hope. You know, I'm going to take a close look at the security footage.

Hey, hold that elevator!

Yeah, the card number is 497...

307.

Hey.

Very important, yes.

All right, so please get back to me as soon as you can, please.

So, what's going on?

It looks like the older guy used a coffee card to buy his lattes,

so I have corporate office checking to see if they have his name on file.

Great. Be nice to get some traction on this thing.

Listen, have you talked to Jack?

Yeah.

How's he doing?

You know, it's... it's hard to tell with him.

I'm supposed to talk to OPR in two hours.

Man, they got us lined up like ducks in a row.

- Any advice? - Yeah.

Just tell them what you know and get the hell out of there.

- Good luck, okay? - All right.

All right, stop. Look. He threw the call to voice mail.

- What's the time code? - 8:10.

Okay, let's look at any calls that came through the cell tower at that time.

Can you blow that up?

Isn't that one of those Scissor phones?

Yes. Which is good, 'cause they're exclusive to one network.

That narrows down the number of calls we'll have run down.

Let's keep moving forward.

Back it up a little.

So she comes in, she scans the room.

Is she looking for someone?

Hi.

We got an ID off that coffee card. Name's Dan Mahoney.

His wife's on her way in, and...

the barista's boyfriend is on his way to Interview 1.

I got it.

All right, let's go from the gunman's entrance again.

Look the way he's holding the gun.

Sweeps the room with it.

You think cop?

Or military?

So is it good news or bad news

that our gunman knows what he's doing?

Dan went to Buzzby's almost every morning.

It was close to our house.

Okay, well, if he was a regular, then maybe he knew some of these people?

Told you their names?

I don't recognize anybody.

Okay. I know these images are blurry, but...

take another look.

- I know Millie. - Great.

- Anyone else? - I've never seen them.

I don't know who they are.

All right, did Millie mention any customers who frightened her, or

- gave her a hard time? - No, never.

Okay. Does she know any police or military personnel?

He has a brother who was in the navy.

Okay, is there anyone outside of the coffee shop

that you can think of who may have had a problem with Dan?

No, Millie's an artist.

This gig is just how she makes ends meet.

And nothing unusual happened in the last couple weeks?

Erratic behavior? Strange hours?

Any, any mood swings?

No. Everything has been great.

Millie's the easiest-going person there is.

Look, here's my card.

If you think of anything else, call me, all right?

I will.

I will.

You're going to find him, right?

We're going to do our best.

Agent Johnson.

- Alex. - Got a minute?

Of course. What's going on?

Agent Malone's OPR investigion kicked off today.

I'm scheduled for 3:00.

Jack had a lot of flattering things to say

this morning about your work on the task force.

Good.

But I'm sure you didn't come all the way down here to tell me that.

I just wanted to make sure there aren't going to be any more surprises

in this case.

What kind of surprises?

Any...

procedural irregularities that would adversely affect

the prosecution of the suspects.

Well, you know me:

"I's" dotted, "t's" crossed.

It's all in my report.

Good.

No, we will definitely look into it.

We will.

All calls to the tip line are taken very seriously.

Especially ones from citizens of Saturn.

Hey, our neighborhood canvass paid off.

I had NYPD run... plates

on all the cars that were parked within walking distance of the coffee shop.

Then I pulled DMV photos.

Found one of our hostages. His name's Julian Simonson.

All right. That guy,

check this out.

The gunman went right for him.

Maybe he was the target.

I'm going to see if I can track down any family on the Simonson guy.

Why would anyone want to kidnap Julian?

It's not like we have any money.

We're still paying off expenses from our wedding.

Your husband's an accountant? Is there any chance because of your debts

that he may have reappropriated some money from a client?

No, Julian would never do something like that.

Look at these pictures again.

Are you sure you don't recognize any of these people?

Where was this coffee shop?

The West Village.

His office is in the Bronx.

I don't know what he was doing down in the Village.

Are you sure you don't know?

Yes.

How long have you and your husband been married?

Last November.

And how would you describe your relationship?

Good.

Sometimes when you make it official,

things change.

I had always heard about couples growing apart.

About one losing interest in the other.

I just didn't think that it would happen so soon.

It's 2:00 in the morning.

I told you I'd be working late.

You know, all the people who filed extensions?

I called the office.

You didn't answer.

I don't know what you want me to say.

You smell like perfume.

I went out for a few drinks with some people at the office.

We've only been married for six months.

- You didn't even give us a chance. - I'm not cheating on you.

Then what are you doing?

Tell me what you're hiding.

Nothing.

- You're being paranoid. - That's not an answer.
