Émission TV: Without a Trace - 4x21
Hey, what's up, Mr.
Covington?
Time to close up.
Can't you prop the back door again?
I've got to nail this jump.
Tomorrow's the invitational.
Oh, geez, I don't know.
How 'bout I wait five minutes?
I'll walk you out.
The way I'm skating, it's gonna take a lot longer than that.
It's all right.
I don't mind.
No, I don't want to keep you.
Really, I'll be okay.
Well, make sure it doesn't stick is time when you close it.
I will.
Good luck.
JACK: Are you kidding?
I'd love to spend time with her.
No, drop her at the office.
That's great.
Okay.
Maria and the kids?
Yeah, she's in town.
She got them tickets tonight to see Wicked.
Perfect choice.
Katie doesn't want to go.
Aw, she wants to spend time with her daddy.
That's right.
How much you pay her?
50 bucks.
Okay, her name is Kelly McMurphy.
15 years old.
She was supposed to call her mom to come re and pick her up.
The call never came.
That was two nights ago.
Anybody see her leave this place?
I don't know yet.
Vivian's trying to locate the rink manager His name is, uh...
Wade Covington.
How far does she live from here?
Not far, three miles.
So she could have walked.
Yeah, we set up a canvas.
Hey.
Any luck on Mr.
Wade Covington?
No, so I got Danny to run a background check on him.
He changed his name from Wade Covney, probably to hide the fact that he did time for raping a 14-year-old girl.
MAN: How's a guy like that get a joaround kids?
We're looking into that.
How long have you been your daughter's coach, Mr.
McMurphy?
Ten years.
I understand that, uh, you lost your son recently?
Um, two months ago.
Would you mind telling me under what circumstances?
Jason was driving home from the rink and he lost control.
His car went over the side of an embankment.
How did Kelly take it?
She was devastated.
Jason taught Kelly how to skate.
He pulled her around a pond near our old house in White Plains for an entire winter.
Did your son compete as well?
No-- hockey rat, like me.
I played some in college.
What's your daughter's training schedule like?
Uh, she practices from 5:00 to 8:00 a.m., and then after school from 4:00 to 9:00.
Sounds like a lot of pressure.
That's what it takes to get to the Olympics.
Kelly wouldn't just disappear, not with a competition tonight.
Okay, I don't know about that.
She was very upset the other day.
What happened?
I know, I missed my triple toe.
It's okay, you were wonderful for the rest of it.
No.
She wasn't.
Your jumps were low, your position into your lay back was sloppy.
I couldn't focus.
d, what do you want from me?
I want your best, Kel, which is clear you weren't giving out there.
Why?
I've hadnough.
I don't want to do this anymore.
You're throwing away ten years of traing because you had an off night?
I've bn thinking about it for a while.
Well, I'm not going to let you stop just 'cause you're having a bad couple of days.
Look, I just...
It just isn't fun anymore.
Commitment isn't easy, Kel, but I promise you, when you're up there with silver on one side and bronze on the other, it will be worth it.
I was not gonna let her waste her gift.
I think we've put too ch pressure on her since the accident What do you want?
To let her think about what happened to her brother 24 hours a day?
She's 15.
Joanie.
Mr.
McMurphy, we're not done.
Do you have any idea where your daughter might go?
No.
We're gonna need a list of all h friends.
Yeah.
Sure.
I ran the rink's pay phone records, and turns out that a call was made right before closing, to a hotel in Poughkeepsie.
I don't suppose the parents would have any idea what she'd be doing there?
No, they don't.
And I spoke to one of Kelly's friends.
She's been blowing off the practice sessions that she usually goes to without her father.
Any idea what she's been doing with her spare time?
Doesn't have a clue.
Is now a bad time?
No, no, no.
Come in.
Special Agent Cassidy.
Special Agent Taylor.
All right, well, I'm gonna call local PD and make sure they start circulating Kelly's picture around the hotel.
Great.
Okay.
How's the case?
You don't want to know.
Too much?
Do you need to cancel tonight?
No, no, no.
Actually, I wanted to ask you if, um...
you could make the reservation for three.
Yeah.
Who's the surprise guest?
My daughter, Kate.
Oh.
She's sweet.
She's lovely.
You'd enjoy her.
Wow.
I, uh, I don't know, Jack.
What don't yoknow?
How to talk to kids, for starters.
Well, it's not that difficult.
I tried to make smaltalk once with my nephews about the trade deficit.
What's wrong with that?
They're eight and five.
Hmm.
Why don't you just treat it like an anthropological experiment?
See how that works.
Okay.
You sure?
Yeah.
No, you're not, but thank you for doing it.
I'll call you to tell you where we're gonna be.
Okay.
All right.
You were convicted of aggravated sexual abuse of a minor.
Doesn't mean I did anything to Kelly.
Then why were you hiding out at your ex-wife's?
I knew what yoguys would think, but I'm reformed.
Are you sure it wasn't because you knew we'd search your office?
This looked right into the girl's locker room.
Pretty nice view for a pervert.
I've never seen that before.
Look, man, you were clearly watching her, but that wasn't enough, was it, Wade?
I didn't touch her.
The two of you alone at night and you expect us to believe that you didn't try and take it beyond a peep show?
I'm not the one you should be looking for.
There's some sicko who's got it out for her.
What, there's another sicko?
I'm serious.
Someone was at the rink the other day.
WADE: Hey, Kel.
Hey.
I been meaning to give something to you.
It's Jason's practice jersey.
I found it when I was cleaning out the equipment room.
Thought you might like to have it.
Thanks.
He was a hell of a player.
Good kid, too.
I should go get ready.
Kelly?
What the hell?
I was outside that door a half hour, I didn't see anybody go in.
So who did Kelly think it was?
She was sure it was some other skater.
me kind of prank to psych her out.
Why didn't you call the cops?
She begged me not to.
Said it would just make things worse.
So conveniently, no one but you or Kelly can actuallyouch that any of this really happened?
Ask the rat.
Garbage pickup isn't till Tuesday.
It should still be in the Dumpster out back.
DANNY: Elena.
( clears throat ) Are you kidding me?
It was right where Wade said it would be.
Unfortunately, they didn't find the head.
Okay, please, I just ate lunch, so, good-bye.
Are you sure you don't want to pay your respects before I take it to the lab?
I'll pass.
Don't even think about putting it there!
I have like 20 more tapes to watch.
Get out.
Relax.
Who's the guy?
Boyfriend?
No, that's Kelly's brother.
He's always the first one to greet her off the ice.
( applause continues ) How we doing on our rat girl?
We have this girl named Mattie Porter, she usually places first or second against Kelly.
I can never get past those outfits-- look at that.
Really?
Beuse I think you'd look cute in tights.
I didn't do this.
Of course, you didn't.
ELENA: Is there a reason Kelly would think you did?
No.
We like each other, at least I thought so.
This is probably some ploy on Kelly's part.
I doubt that.
Okay, do you have any idea who might have done it, then?
I don'think so.
Mattie?
SAMANTHA: Mattie?
Kelly could be in trouble...
serious trouble.
Do you understand that?
So if you know something, you need to tell us.
It was kind of weird.
I saw Kelly a couple of weeks ago outside the rink.
Hey, Kelly.
You okay?
I'm fine.
Who was that?
No one.
Looked like someone to me.
Just please, don't tell anybody about it, okay?
ELENA: Okay, do you think you can help us with a sketch of this man?
Sure.
How old do you think this guy was?
Like my dad's age, I think.
Hey, Jack.
Sorry.
Thanks.
You going up?
Uh, no, no, I'll just, I'll, well, I'll just ride with you.
I, uh, I changed my mind about tonight.
Why?
It's just, you know, Kate, she's only here for the weekend, and I don't want her to think that I'm taking your time away from her.
You're not, it's just dinner.
No, but we could be putting her in a very awkward situation, and...
I mean, what if she hates me?
She's not going to hate you.
Well, she might.
Don't you think that you should let her decide?
Mm-hmm.
Okay?
All right.
Just relax.
Okay.
Parents didn't recognize the guy in the sketch.
Did Mack get anything off of Kelly's computer?
No, so he's checking the school.
You know, she's constantly with adults-- coaches, judges, parents of other kids.
This guy could be one of them.
Yeah, I mean, we got the sexual predator part right.
We just got the wrong one.
Well, don't count out Wade Covney yet; I'm still double-checking his alibi.
All right, so I think I know who murdered Binky.
Binky?
Who's Binky?
The rat.
You named the rat?
No, Kelly's biology class did.
Our lab determined that it wasn't a street rat based on the food pellets that they found in its stomach.
Right, so how did Binky end up in Kelly's locker?
Somebody brokento the class three days ago.
You have any suspects?
Yeah, a kid named Bobby Hillman-- he's a hockey player.
They caught him breaking in after hours.
We got him on a security tape.
Nice work, Dan.
Why were you trying to scare Kelly, Bobby?
I was't.
Oh, so the rat cut off its own head and hung itself from Kelly's locker?
Suicidal rat, right?
I wouldn't do anything to hurt Kelly.
She's my girlfriend.
Hmm.
Any reason why no one else knows about this?
( sighs ) Jason and I were best friends.
After he died, Kelly and I became close.
We were worried what people would think.
Hmm.
If you are her boyfriend, who's that?
I've never seen him before.
You know what I think?
I think you found out that your girl was cheating on you, and you wanted to scare her straight with the whole rat gag.
No!
No?
VIVIAN: Bobby, we have fingerprints from the locker.
If we compare them with yours, what are we going to find?
The rat wasn't even my idea.
Well, then, whose idea was it, Bobby?
It all started because I went to see her at the rink a few days ago.
Guess who?
Don't.
Sorry.
It's just, my dad's gonna be here any second, and he could see.
What's that?
Nothing.
Hey, can I ask you something?
Before the accident, did Jason seem weird to you?
No.
What do you mean?
I guess it was just with me.
Every time I tried to make him laugh, he just got annoyed.
It wasn't because of you, Kel.
How do you know?
He wasuicing.
No, my brother wouldn't use steroids.
He did, for over a year.
I don't know.
It must have been too long.
He started acting strange, like, really aggressive.
It explains why he was driving the way he did that night.
The Jason I knew would never have gotten in that accident.
Kelly!
The next day, she demanded to know where Jason got his steroids.
Who was the dealer?
He's the school trainer.
So he got you to put the rat up there?
He wanted to freak Kelly out, so she wouldn't say anything about him dealing.
He threatened to cut me off, unless I did it.
What's his name?
His name's Ray Mullins.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Bobby told us the rat was your idea.
Well, he's lying.
Really?
Is he lying about the, uh, the steroids, too?
Yeah, exactly.
So that's why half the hockey team told us that you sell them steroids?
Come on, guys.
You got any real proof?
SAMANTHA: Here's what I got.
I got a 15-year-old girl who found out about what you were doing, and now she's missing, so that's motive.
And I'm sure I can find someone who saw you together.
That gives you opportunity.
So why don't you start talking?
All right, look, it's simple.
I admit to the rat.
It was stupid.
It didn't even work.
What do you mean "didn't work"?
Kelly came by my office the other night all bent out of shape.
Hey, Ray.
Hey, what's up, Kelly?
I just got my new order of one-and-a-half-inch tape in.
Huh?
Help yourself.
How is the steroid business working out for you?
You know, 'roid rage and "backne" and all that stuff?
What do you want?
$2,000.
( laughs ) What, do you got a prom dress to pay for or something?
That's none of your business.
You're not going to get a dime out of me.
Then I'll go to the police.
Then I'll take you down with me.
What did Jason tell you?
Nothing.
But he doubled his order four months before he died, and I know it's not for anyone else on the team.
Why don't you go get your money someplace else?
Are you absolutely sure that Kelly was using steroids?
Yeah, she pulled her groin at the same time Jason was asking for drugs, so...
you do the math.
You have any idea what she needed the money for?
I could care less.
You have an alibi for Wednesday night?
Yeah, I do-- I was at the Firefly with some buddies having some drinks, and they'll vouch for me.
Okay.
Okay.
DANNY: Where you going?
Sit downman, we're not done with you.
Hey.
Hey.
So Kelly's log-in generated a number of web searches from last month-- Planned Parenthood, Council on Teen Pregnancy.
The list goes on.
Wow.
Well, if she's pregnant, it could be that she needed the money for an abortion.
I don't think Bobby Hillman's keeping any more secrets.
Yeah, but there's the middle-aged boyfriend, and maybe he didn't want it to get out ??
No, Kelly's period didn't stop because she was pregnant.
They stopped because Pete upped her training.
And what you found was probably from before we went to the doctor and figured it out.
Uh-huh.
Where is your husband now?
Oh, he had a work emergency.
How long has he been gone?
I don't know.
He left a note.
Uh, do me a favor.
Could you write your husband's work number down?
Thank you.
Um, Mrs.
McMurphy, we have information that, um, both your son and daughter may have been using steroids.
Is that something that you or your husband might have encouraged?
I know that it's out there.
But I would never do anything to put my child's health at risk.
What about your husband?
No.
Your daughter was looking for a substantial amount of money.
Any idea why?
I think...
Kelly may have been trying to help me out.
Hey.
You're home.
What are you doing in my drawer?
Uh, I was looking for a sock.
And I thought maybe it got mixed up in your laundry.
It probably just fell behind the dryer.
You're stealing from me?
No, I'm justoing to borrow it, 'cause I have to pick up the dry cleaning.
$400?
You know what?
Just forget it.
Just...
It doesn't matter.
No.
Mom, what is going on?
I think, uh...
I think that...
I think things just got a ttle screwed up after your brotheried.
What-What do you mean?
I've, uh...
I've-I'veeen...
It's okay, you can tell me.
I've been taking things from Mrs.
Kaplan's boutique.
They said they won't press charges if I pay them back.
It's going to be okay.
( voice breaking ): I just really miss him.
I know.
I know.
So do I.
JACK: How much money do you owe?
A thousand.
I just spoke with your husband's workplace.
He's not there, and apparently, there is no work emergency.
Dad!
Hey, sweetie.
How are you?
Good.
Where's your mother and your sister?
They had to get to...
the theater.
Oh.
How is Hanna?
She scored two goals last week.
She wantede to tell you, even though she's going to see you herself tomorrow.
And how's your mother?
Good.
She works too much.
Uh, listen, I wanted to ask you if, um, yowould mind if I brought a friend to dinner.
Can it be Danny?
Danny isn't exactly who I had in mind.
Ann?
Yeah.
I'd like you to get to know her better.
Sure.
Dad?
You like Ann, right?
Yes, I do.
Mom took hers off a long time ago.
Yeah, I noticed.
So why don't you take yours off, too?
I don't know.
I...
I think I just left it on for you and your sister.
Thank you.
Try to get that high score.
You kn where to find me if you need me.
Okay.
Any word on McMurphy?
No, but I checked with some of the parents, and apparently, McMurphy was banned from Jas's hockey games for fighting.
One guy ended up with stitches.
The guy press charges?
No, but one witness saw McMurphy getting really rough with Jason after he played badly in a big game.
Maybe he was doing the same thing to Kelly, and then she took off.
Maybe he's trying to find her first so that she doesn't talk about the abuse.
( phone ringing ) Excuse me.
Fitzgerald.
Uh-huh.
I got it.
Newell?
Right?
Okay, thanks.
Someone at the hotel in Poughkeepsie saw Kelly this morning with one of the guests-- a Linus Newell.
Check it out.
Looks like our guy in the sketch.
It sure does.
This is it.
All right.
Could you give me the key, please?
Stand back.
Mr.
Newell, this is the FBI.
Open u ( key card beeps ) Come on.
Oh.
Clear.
It's clear.
Are you sure he didn't check out?
He was here five minutes ago.
He's right there.
Come on.
Let's go.
Freeze!
Freeze!
Are you Linus Newell?
Get out of the car!
Elena, check the trunk!
Get out.
Come here.
I said get out.
All right, where's Kelly?
I don't know.
What did you do to her?
Nothing, I swear.
Look, this is a misunderstanding.
Since when is having sex with a minor a misunderstanding?
No.
This isn't about sex.
No?
What's it about?
I was just trying to convince her to take me on as a coach, that's it.
Okay, a witness saw you consoling her outside the rink two weeks ago.
Was that part of the sales pitch?
No.
No, no, no.
She was a mess about her brother.
She needed someone to talk to.
DANNY: Talk to?
I'm starting my own camp in Lake Placid.
That's why she came here to see me.
Are you okay, Kelly?
Yeah, I'm great.
I...
I'm just really anxious about this decision, I guess.
All right, well, let's talk about it.
So, if you coach me, I can stay at your camp in Lake Placid, like, full-time?
Like, live there, right?
That's how we'd arrange it, yeah.
Provided your parents are on board.
You-You did talk to your dad, right?
Yeah, he's okay with it.
So, when can we go?
Where are your parents, Kelly?
Oh, they couldn't come, but they did sign the nsent forms that you sent.
I still have to speato them.
Is this about the deposit?
Because I thought maybe we could work out some kind of payment plan, or...
I don't know.
I could pay you in some other way.
What the hell's going on here?
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to...
I just really need you to coach me.
That's not what this is about.
I'm saying yes.
That's what you wanted, right?
Yeah, but not under these circumstances.
So, what, are you saying that I can't go with you?
Look, there's something going on with you you're not telling me about.
I can't coach you if you're not honest with me.
I'm sorry.
Kelly?
I called her dad.
Mm-hmm.
He accused me of-of trying to steal his daughter.
He threatened to kill me.
ELENA: When was this?
A couple hours ago.
DANNY: Why'd you wait a whole day to call him?
I wanted to give her a chance to work it out with him.
But when he didn't call, I figured I should.
Two hours ago would make it 4:00.
That's right before McMurphy went to go look for his daughter.
Come on, let's go.
Come on, come on.
All right, so I confirmed Newell's story.
He called McMurphy's cell phone at 4:00 p.m., ???
??
??
??
??
??
Mr.
McMurphy.
What happened to your hand?
I cut it.
How?
On a glass.
Were you drinking?
No.
It was water.
I got pissed off when that jackass Newell called.
Yes, I heard that you threatened Newell.
You must have been equally furious with your daughter.
I would never hurt Kelly.
Then why'd she run away?
Mr.
McMurphy, your daughter blackmailed the steroid dealer, then she tried to prostitute herself to get away from you.
Why is that?
You molesting her?
No!
Then why did she go?
It's a family matter.
Not anymore it's not.
Look, Mr.
McMurphy, if you've seen anything, if you've done anything and you're not telling me, it's obstruction.
Do you want to find your daughter or not?
Something happened this afternoon.
I thought you wanted to quit.
I guess you just wanted to kick me in the head.
Dad, I should have told you.
Yeah, but instd, you ran away.
Your mom and I have been worried sick about you!
Half the FBI is looking for you!
I'm sorry.
Sorry?
Do you honestly believe someone can coach you better than your own father?
No.
Then what the hell is this all about?
If I had one-tenth of the talent you had, I wouldn't be pissing it all away!
I couldn't stand being around here anymore!
Why?
Because of what happened to Jason.
What does Jason's accident have to do with any of this?
Did you know that he was using steroids?
That's ridiculous.
No, it's not.
He gave them to me when I got injured.
He told me that he wasn't taking them himself, but he lied.
He had been using them for over a year.
Jasowould never take steroids.
It's because of you!
Because of the way that you pushed him!
They screwed him up.
He killed himself, Dad.
Where the hell do you get off saying that?
I found this in his room.
KELLY: I was looking for music for my competition.
This doesn't prove anything.
It's just words on paper.
Think about how he was before he died.
He didn't even leave it somewhere we could find it.
Because he didn't want us to blame ourselves, even though it was all our fault.
Our fault?
How?
Ming him die in a car accident?
The car didn't just drive off the road by itself.
You know, I'm not talking to you about this!
Getut!
You hear me?!
Get out!
I know I shouldn't have let her go.
No, probably not.
Please, you've got to find her.
You could have helped me if you'd called as soon as you'd seen her.
I didn't know how to explain without Joanie knowing the truth.
She'll never forgive herself.
She'll never forgive me.
You'll have to stay here until I can corroborate the story.
All right, she gets rejected by Newell, her father kicks her out of the house.
Where would she go?
Where she's supposed to be, the New York Invitational?
No, I don't think she's in the mood for skating.
Wait a second.
What?
Her parents talked about this pond, some pond where her brother first taught her to skate.
Somewhere out in White Plains.
SAMANTHA: All right, why don't you come with me?
You, let's go this way.
SAMANTHA: I've got her!
Kelly?
Kelly, my name is Samantha Spade.
I'm with the FBI.
We've been looking for you.
Do I have to go home now?
It's late, and your parents are worried about you.
You really don't want to go home, do you?
I just never want to skate again.
I rew my skates in there.
I don't know, maybe it's stupid.
But I think Jason would have liked that.
You know something, I, um...
I don't think it's stupid at all.
The night he died, hAnd I wouldn't listen.
???
Chin.
Good.
Chin.
Yes.
Good.
Good!
McMURPHY: I still think we need to work on the spiral.
My legs are killing me from the lunges yesterday.
I can't get my leg around.
We'll get the heating pads out tonight, you'll be good as new, all right?
Jay!
Hey, Jas.
Hey.
Hey.
What's up?
Just figured I'd stop by on my way home.
Is everything okay?
Yeah.
Come on, Jay.
I don't know, I...
I've just been feeling down.
You want to talk about it?
McMURPHY: Kelly!
Got to go.
I guess now's not a good time.
Wait, Jason.
It's nothing, really.
I...
There's just a lot of stuff gng on.
Well, we can talk after dinner.
Yeah.
That sounds good.
Later.
Come on, got to go.
You're doing great.
Doing great.
McMURPHY: Keep it up.
What happened to your brother is not your fault.
Can we just stay a minute?
Sure.
Hi.
Sorry we're late.
No problem.
Everything all right?
Yeah.
Uh, Kate, this is Ann.
JACK: Ann, Kate.
Hi.
How do you do?
We met a long time ago, actually.
It was at a party your parents had once.
But you were much smaller then.
I'm sorry that your husband got shot.
Oy.
No, no, no.
Thank you very much, Kate.
Thank you.
Shall we sit?
Yeah.
And you thought dinner was going to be awkward for her?
Are you drinking tonight?
Oh, yeah.
To the brim.
Want something to drink?
Um...
I guess I'll have a...
What?
Sprite.
Sprite?
Sprite.
Covington?
Time to close up.
Can't you prop the back door again?
I've got to nail this jump.
Tomorrow's the invitational.
Oh, geez, I don't know.
How 'bout I wait five minutes?
I'll walk you out.
The way I'm skating, it's gonna take a lot longer than that.
It's all right.
I don't mind.
No, I don't want to keep you.
Really, I'll be okay.
Well, make sure it doesn't stick is time when you close it.
I will.
Good luck.
JACK: Are you kidding?
I'd love to spend time with her.
No, drop her at the office.
That's great.
Okay.
Maria and the kids?
Yeah, she's in town.
She got them tickets tonight to see Wicked.
Perfect choice.
Katie doesn't want to go.
Aw, she wants to spend time with her daddy.
That's right.
How much you pay her?
50 bucks.
Okay, her name is Kelly McMurphy.
15 years old.
She was supposed to call her mom to come re and pick her up.
The call never came.
That was two nights ago.
Anybody see her leave this place?
I don't know yet.
Vivian's trying to locate the rink manager His name is, uh...
Wade Covington.
How far does she live from here?
Not far, three miles.
So she could have walked.
Yeah, we set up a canvas.
Hey.
Any luck on Mr.
Wade Covington?
No, so I got Danny to run a background check on him.
He changed his name from Wade Covney, probably to hide the fact that he did time for raping a 14-year-old girl.
MAN: How's a guy like that get a joaround kids?
We're looking into that.
How long have you been your daughter's coach, Mr.
McMurphy?
Ten years.
I understand that, uh, you lost your son recently?
Um, two months ago.
Would you mind telling me under what circumstances?
Jason was driving home from the rink and he lost control.
His car went over the side of an embankment.
How did Kelly take it?
She was devastated.
Jason taught Kelly how to skate.
He pulled her around a pond near our old house in White Plains for an entire winter.
Did your son compete as well?
No-- hockey rat, like me.
I played some in college.
What's your daughter's training schedule like?
Uh, she practices from 5:00 to 8:00 a.m., and then after school from 4:00 to 9:00.
Sounds like a lot of pressure.
That's what it takes to get to the Olympics.
Kelly wouldn't just disappear, not with a competition tonight.
Okay, I don't know about that.
She was very upset the other day.
What happened?
I know, I missed my triple toe.
It's okay, you were wonderful for the rest of it.
No.
She wasn't.
Your jumps were low, your position into your lay back was sloppy.
I couldn't focus.
d, what do you want from me?
I want your best, Kel, which is clear you weren't giving out there.
Why?
I've hadnough.
I don't want to do this anymore.
You're throwing away ten years of traing because you had an off night?
I've bn thinking about it for a while.
Well, I'm not going to let you stop just 'cause you're having a bad couple of days.
Look, I just...
It just isn't fun anymore.
Commitment isn't easy, Kel, but I promise you, when you're up there with silver on one side and bronze on the other, it will be worth it.
I was not gonna let her waste her gift.
I think we've put too ch pressure on her since the accident What do you want?
To let her think about what happened to her brother 24 hours a day?
She's 15.
Joanie.
Mr.
McMurphy, we're not done.
Do you have any idea where your daughter might go?
No.
We're gonna need a list of all h friends.
Yeah.
Sure.
I ran the rink's pay phone records, and turns out that a call was made right before closing, to a hotel in Poughkeepsie.
I don't suppose the parents would have any idea what she'd be doing there?
No, they don't.
And I spoke to one of Kelly's friends.
She's been blowing off the practice sessions that she usually goes to without her father.
Any idea what she's been doing with her spare time?
Doesn't have a clue.
Is now a bad time?
No, no, no.
Come in.
Special Agent Cassidy.
Special Agent Taylor.
All right, well, I'm gonna call local PD and make sure they start circulating Kelly's picture around the hotel.
Great.
Okay.
How's the case?
You don't want to know.
Too much?
Do you need to cancel tonight?
No, no, no.
Actually, I wanted to ask you if, um...
you could make the reservation for three.
Yeah.
Who's the surprise guest?
My daughter, Kate.
Oh.
She's sweet.
She's lovely.
You'd enjoy her.
Wow.
I, uh, I don't know, Jack.
What don't yoknow?
How to talk to kids, for starters.
Well, it's not that difficult.
I tried to make smaltalk once with my nephews about the trade deficit.
What's wrong with that?
They're eight and five.
Hmm.
Why don't you just treat it like an anthropological experiment?
See how that works.
Okay.
You sure?
Yeah.
No, you're not, but thank you for doing it.
I'll call you to tell you where we're gonna be.
Okay.
All right.
You were convicted of aggravated sexual abuse of a minor.
Doesn't mean I did anything to Kelly.
Then why were you hiding out at your ex-wife's?
I knew what yoguys would think, but I'm reformed.
Are you sure it wasn't because you knew we'd search your office?
This looked right into the girl's locker room.
Pretty nice view for a pervert.
I've never seen that before.
Look, man, you were clearly watching her, but that wasn't enough, was it, Wade?
I didn't touch her.
The two of you alone at night and you expect us to believe that you didn't try and take it beyond a peep show?
I'm not the one you should be looking for.
There's some sicko who's got it out for her.
What, there's another sicko?
I'm serious.
Someone was at the rink the other day.
WADE: Hey, Kel.
Hey.
I been meaning to give something to you.
It's Jason's practice jersey.
I found it when I was cleaning out the equipment room.
Thought you might like to have it.
Thanks.
He was a hell of a player.
Good kid, too.
I should go get ready.
Kelly?
What the hell?
I was outside that door a half hour, I didn't see anybody go in.
So who did Kelly think it was?
She was sure it was some other skater.
me kind of prank to psych her out.
Why didn't you call the cops?
She begged me not to.
Said it would just make things worse.
So conveniently, no one but you or Kelly can actuallyouch that any of this really happened?
Ask the rat.
Garbage pickup isn't till Tuesday.
It should still be in the Dumpster out back.
DANNY: Elena.
( clears throat ) Are you kidding me?
It was right where Wade said it would be.
Unfortunately, they didn't find the head.
Okay, please, I just ate lunch, so, good-bye.
Are you sure you don't want to pay your respects before I take it to the lab?
I'll pass.
Don't even think about putting it there!
I have like 20 more tapes to watch.
Get out.
Relax.
Who's the guy?
Boyfriend?
No, that's Kelly's brother.
He's always the first one to greet her off the ice.
( applause continues ) How we doing on our rat girl?
We have this girl named Mattie Porter, she usually places first or second against Kelly.
I can never get past those outfits-- look at that.
Really?
Beuse I think you'd look cute in tights.
I didn't do this.
Of course, you didn't.
ELENA: Is there a reason Kelly would think you did?
No.
We like each other, at least I thought so.
This is probably some ploy on Kelly's part.
I doubt that.
Okay, do you have any idea who might have done it, then?
I don'think so.
Mattie?
SAMANTHA: Mattie?
Kelly could be in trouble...
serious trouble.
Do you understand that?
So if you know something, you need to tell us.
It was kind of weird.
I saw Kelly a couple of weeks ago outside the rink.
Hey, Kelly.
You okay?
I'm fine.
Who was that?
No one.
Looked like someone to me.
Just please, don't tell anybody about it, okay?
ELENA: Okay, do you think you can help us with a sketch of this man?
Sure.
How old do you think this guy was?
Like my dad's age, I think.
Hey, Jack.
Sorry.
Thanks.
You going up?
Uh, no, no, I'll just, I'll, well, I'll just ride with you.
I, uh, I changed my mind about tonight.
Why?
It's just, you know, Kate, she's only here for the weekend, and I don't want her to think that I'm taking your time away from her.
You're not, it's just dinner.
No, but we could be putting her in a very awkward situation, and...
I mean, what if she hates me?
She's not going to hate you.
Well, she might.
Don't you think that you should let her decide?
Mm-hmm.
Okay?
All right.
Just relax.
Okay.
Parents didn't recognize the guy in the sketch.
Did Mack get anything off of Kelly's computer?
No, so he's checking the school.
You know, she's constantly with adults-- coaches, judges, parents of other kids.
This guy could be one of them.
Yeah, I mean, we got the sexual predator part right.
We just got the wrong one.
Well, don't count out Wade Covney yet; I'm still double-checking his alibi.
All right, so I think I know who murdered Binky.
Binky?
Who's Binky?
The rat.
You named the rat?
No, Kelly's biology class did.
Our lab determined that it wasn't a street rat based on the food pellets that they found in its stomach.
Right, so how did Binky end up in Kelly's locker?
Somebody brokento the class three days ago.
You have any suspects?
Yeah, a kid named Bobby Hillman-- he's a hockey player.
They caught him breaking in after hours.
We got him on a security tape.
Nice work, Dan.
Why were you trying to scare Kelly, Bobby?
I was't.
Oh, so the rat cut off its own head and hung itself from Kelly's locker?
Suicidal rat, right?
I wouldn't do anything to hurt Kelly.
She's my girlfriend.
Hmm.
Any reason why no one else knows about this?
( sighs ) Jason and I were best friends.
After he died, Kelly and I became close.
We were worried what people would think.
Hmm.
If you are her boyfriend, who's that?
I've never seen him before.
You know what I think?
I think you found out that your girl was cheating on you, and you wanted to scare her straight with the whole rat gag.
No!
No?
VIVIAN: Bobby, we have fingerprints from the locker.
If we compare them with yours, what are we going to find?
The rat wasn't even my idea.
Well, then, whose idea was it, Bobby?
It all started because I went to see her at the rink a few days ago.
Guess who?
Don't.
Sorry.
It's just, my dad's gonna be here any second, and he could see.
What's that?
Nothing.
Hey, can I ask you something?
Before the accident, did Jason seem weird to you?
No.
What do you mean?
I guess it was just with me.
Every time I tried to make him laugh, he just got annoyed.
It wasn't because of you, Kel.
How do you know?
He wasuicing.
No, my brother wouldn't use steroids.
He did, for over a year.
I don't know.
It must have been too long.
He started acting strange, like, really aggressive.
It explains why he was driving the way he did that night.
The Jason I knew would never have gotten in that accident.
Kelly!
The next day, she demanded to know where Jason got his steroids.
Who was the dealer?
He's the school trainer.
So he got you to put the rat up there?
He wanted to freak Kelly out, so she wouldn't say anything about him dealing.
He threatened to cut me off, unless I did it.
What's his name?
His name's Ray Mullins.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Bobby told us the rat was your idea.
Well, he's lying.
Really?
Is he lying about the, uh, the steroids, too?
Yeah, exactly.
So that's why half the hockey team told us that you sell them steroids?
Come on, guys.
You got any real proof?
SAMANTHA: Here's what I got.
I got a 15-year-old girl who found out about what you were doing, and now she's missing, so that's motive.
And I'm sure I can find someone who saw you together.
That gives you opportunity.
So why don't you start talking?
All right, look, it's simple.
I admit to the rat.
It was stupid.
It didn't even work.
What do you mean "didn't work"?
Kelly came by my office the other night all bent out of shape.
Hey, Ray.
Hey, what's up, Kelly?
I just got my new order of one-and-a-half-inch tape in.
Huh?
Help yourself.
How is the steroid business working out for you?
You know, 'roid rage and "backne" and all that stuff?
What do you want?
$2,000.
( laughs ) What, do you got a prom dress to pay for or something?
That's none of your business.
You're not going to get a dime out of me.
Then I'll go to the police.
Then I'll take you down with me.
What did Jason tell you?
Nothing.
But he doubled his order four months before he died, and I know it's not for anyone else on the team.
Why don't you go get your money someplace else?
Are you absolutely sure that Kelly was using steroids?
Yeah, she pulled her groin at the same time Jason was asking for drugs, so...
you do the math.
You have any idea what she needed the money for?
I could care less.
You have an alibi for Wednesday night?
Yeah, I do-- I was at the Firefly with some buddies having some drinks, and they'll vouch for me.
Okay.
Okay.
DANNY: Where you going?
Sit downman, we're not done with you.
Hey.
Hey.
So Kelly's log-in generated a number of web searches from last month-- Planned Parenthood, Council on Teen Pregnancy.
The list goes on.
Wow.
Well, if she's pregnant, it could be that she needed the money for an abortion.
I don't think Bobby Hillman's keeping any more secrets.
Yeah, but there's the middle-aged boyfriend, and maybe he didn't want it to get out ??
No, Kelly's period didn't stop because she was pregnant.
They stopped because Pete upped her training.
And what you found was probably from before we went to the doctor and figured it out.
Uh-huh.
Where is your husband now?
Oh, he had a work emergency.
How long has he been gone?
I don't know.
He left a note.
Uh, do me a favor.
Could you write your husband's work number down?
Thank you.
Um, Mrs.
McMurphy, we have information that, um, both your son and daughter may have been using steroids.
Is that something that you or your husband might have encouraged?
I know that it's out there.
But I would never do anything to put my child's health at risk.
What about your husband?
No.
Your daughter was looking for a substantial amount of money.
Any idea why?
I think...
Kelly may have been trying to help me out.
Hey.
You're home.
What are you doing in my drawer?
Uh, I was looking for a sock.
And I thought maybe it got mixed up in your laundry.
It probably just fell behind the dryer.
You're stealing from me?
No, I'm justoing to borrow it, 'cause I have to pick up the dry cleaning.
$400?
You know what?
Just forget it.
Just...
It doesn't matter.
No.
Mom, what is going on?
I think, uh...
I think that...
I think things just got a ttle screwed up after your brotheried.
What-What do you mean?
I've, uh...
I've-I'veeen...
It's okay, you can tell me.
I've been taking things from Mrs.
Kaplan's boutique.
They said they won't press charges if I pay them back.
It's going to be okay.
( voice breaking ): I just really miss him.
I know.
I know.
So do I.
JACK: How much money do you owe?
A thousand.
I just spoke with your husband's workplace.
He's not there, and apparently, there is no work emergency.
Dad!
Hey, sweetie.
How are you?
Good.
Where's your mother and your sister?
They had to get to...
the theater.
Oh.
How is Hanna?
She scored two goals last week.
She wantede to tell you, even though she's going to see you herself tomorrow.
And how's your mother?
Good.
She works too much.
Uh, listen, I wanted to ask you if, um, yowould mind if I brought a friend to dinner.
Can it be Danny?
Danny isn't exactly who I had in mind.
Ann?
Yeah.
I'd like you to get to know her better.
Sure.
Dad?
You like Ann, right?
Yes, I do.
Mom took hers off a long time ago.
Yeah, I noticed.
So why don't you take yours off, too?
I don't know.
I...
I think I just left it on for you and your sister.
Thank you.
Try to get that high score.
You kn where to find me if you need me.
Okay.
Any word on McMurphy?
No, but I checked with some of the parents, and apparently, McMurphy was banned from Jas's hockey games for fighting.
One guy ended up with stitches.
The guy press charges?
No, but one witness saw McMurphy getting really rough with Jason after he played badly in a big game.
Maybe he was doing the same thing to Kelly, and then she took off.
Maybe he's trying to find her first so that she doesn't talk about the abuse.
( phone ringing ) Excuse me.
Fitzgerald.
Uh-huh.
I got it.
Newell?
Right?
Okay, thanks.
Someone at the hotel in Poughkeepsie saw Kelly this morning with one of the guests-- a Linus Newell.
Check it out.
Looks like our guy in the sketch.
It sure does.
This is it.
All right.
Could you give me the key, please?
Stand back.
Mr.
Newell, this is the FBI.
Open u ( key card beeps ) Come on.
Oh.
Clear.
It's clear.
Are you sure he didn't check out?
He was here five minutes ago.
He's right there.
Come on.
Let's go.
Freeze!
Freeze!
Are you Linus Newell?
Get out of the car!
Elena, check the trunk!
Get out.
Come here.
I said get out.
All right, where's Kelly?
I don't know.
What did you do to her?
Nothing, I swear.
Look, this is a misunderstanding.
Since when is having sex with a minor a misunderstanding?
No.
This isn't about sex.
No?
What's it about?
I was just trying to convince her to take me on as a coach, that's it.
Okay, a witness saw you consoling her outside the rink two weeks ago.
Was that part of the sales pitch?
No.
No, no, no.
She was a mess about her brother.
She needed someone to talk to.
DANNY: Talk to?
I'm starting my own camp in Lake Placid.
That's why she came here to see me.
Are you okay, Kelly?
Yeah, I'm great.
I...
I'm just really anxious about this decision, I guess.
All right, well, let's talk about it.
So, if you coach me, I can stay at your camp in Lake Placid, like, full-time?
Like, live there, right?
That's how we'd arrange it, yeah.
Provided your parents are on board.
You-You did talk to your dad, right?
Yeah, he's okay with it.
So, when can we go?
Where are your parents, Kelly?
Oh, they couldn't come, but they did sign the nsent forms that you sent.
I still have to speato them.
Is this about the deposit?
Because I thought maybe we could work out some kind of payment plan, or...
I don't know.
I could pay you in some other way.
What the hell's going on here?
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to...
I just really need you to coach me.
That's not what this is about.
I'm saying yes.
That's what you wanted, right?
Yeah, but not under these circumstances.
So, what, are you saying that I can't go with you?
Look, there's something going on with you you're not telling me about.
I can't coach you if you're not honest with me.
I'm sorry.
Kelly?
I called her dad.
Mm-hmm.
He accused me of-of trying to steal his daughter.
He threatened to kill me.
ELENA: When was this?
A couple hours ago.
DANNY: Why'd you wait a whole day to call him?
I wanted to give her a chance to work it out with him.
But when he didn't call, I figured I should.
Two hours ago would make it 4:00.
That's right before McMurphy went to go look for his daughter.
Come on, let's go.
Come on, come on.
All right, so I confirmed Newell's story.
He called McMurphy's cell phone at 4:00 p.m., ???
??
??
??
??
??
Mr.
McMurphy.
What happened to your hand?
I cut it.
How?
On a glass.
Were you drinking?
No.
It was water.
I got pissed off when that jackass Newell called.
Yes, I heard that you threatened Newell.
You must have been equally furious with your daughter.
I would never hurt Kelly.
Then why'd she run away?
Mr.
McMurphy, your daughter blackmailed the steroid dealer, then she tried to prostitute herself to get away from you.
Why is that?
You molesting her?
No!
Then why did she go?
It's a family matter.
Not anymore it's not.
Look, Mr.
McMurphy, if you've seen anything, if you've done anything and you're not telling me, it's obstruction.
Do you want to find your daughter or not?
Something happened this afternoon.
I thought you wanted to quit.
I guess you just wanted to kick me in the head.
Dad, I should have told you.
Yeah, but instd, you ran away.
Your mom and I have been worried sick about you!
Half the FBI is looking for you!
I'm sorry.
Sorry?
Do you honestly believe someone can coach you better than your own father?
No.
Then what the hell is this all about?
If I had one-tenth of the talent you had, I wouldn't be pissing it all away!
I couldn't stand being around here anymore!
Why?
Because of what happened to Jason.
What does Jason's accident have to do with any of this?
Did you know that he was using steroids?
That's ridiculous.
No, it's not.
He gave them to me when I got injured.
He told me that he wasn't taking them himself, but he lied.
He had been using them for over a year.
Jasowould never take steroids.
It's because of you!
Because of the way that you pushed him!
They screwed him up.
He killed himself, Dad.
Where the hell do you get off saying that?
I found this in his room.
KELLY: I was looking for music for my competition.
This doesn't prove anything.
It's just words on paper.
Think about how he was before he died.
He didn't even leave it somewhere we could find it.
Because he didn't want us to blame ourselves, even though it was all our fault.
Our fault?
How?
Ming him die in a car accident?
The car didn't just drive off the road by itself.
You know, I'm not talking to you about this!
Getut!
You hear me?!
Get out!
I know I shouldn't have let her go.
No, probably not.
Please, you've got to find her.
You could have helped me if you'd called as soon as you'd seen her.
I didn't know how to explain without Joanie knowing the truth.
She'll never forgive herself.
She'll never forgive me.
You'll have to stay here until I can corroborate the story.
All right, she gets rejected by Newell, her father kicks her out of the house.
Where would she go?
Where she's supposed to be, the New York Invitational?
No, I don't think she's in the mood for skating.
Wait a second.
What?
Her parents talked about this pond, some pond where her brother first taught her to skate.
Somewhere out in White Plains.
SAMANTHA: All right, why don't you come with me?
You, let's go this way.
SAMANTHA: I've got her!
Kelly?
Kelly, my name is Samantha Spade.
I'm with the FBI.
We've been looking for you.
Do I have to go home now?
It's late, and your parents are worried about you.
You really don't want to go home, do you?
I just never want to skate again.
I rew my skates in there.
I don't know, maybe it's stupid.
But I think Jason would have liked that.
You know something, I, um...
I don't think it's stupid at all.
The night he died, hAnd I wouldn't listen.
???
Chin.
Good.
Chin.
Yes.
Good.
Good!
McMURPHY: I still think we need to work on the spiral.
My legs are killing me from the lunges yesterday.
I can't get my leg around.
We'll get the heating pads out tonight, you'll be good as new, all right?
Jay!
Hey, Jas.
Hey.
Hey.
What's up?
Just figured I'd stop by on my way home.
Is everything okay?
Yeah.
Come on, Jay.
I don't know, I...
I've just been feeling down.
You want to talk about it?
McMURPHY: Kelly!
Got to go.
I guess now's not a good time.
Wait, Jason.
It's nothing, really.
I...
There's just a lot of stuff gng on.
Well, we can talk after dinner.
Yeah.
That sounds good.
Later.
Come on, got to go.
You're doing great.
Doing great.
McMURPHY: Keep it up.
What happened to your brother is not your fault.
Can we just stay a minute?
Sure.
Hi.
Sorry we're late.
No problem.
Everything all right?
Yeah.
Uh, Kate, this is Ann.
JACK: Ann, Kate.
Hi.
How do you do?
We met a long time ago, actually.
It was at a party your parents had once.
But you were much smaller then.
I'm sorry that your husband got shot.
Oy.
No, no, no.
Thank you very much, Kate.
Thank you.
Shall we sit?
Yeah.
And you thought dinner was going to be awkward for her?
Are you drinking tonight?
Oh, yeah.
To the brim.
Want something to drink?
Um...
I guess I'll have a...
What?
Sprite.
Sprite?
Sprite.
