Émission TV: Without a Trace - 5x17
Coming!
I'll be right there.
It's beautiful.
I should have come out here an hour ago.
From the corners of Capitol Hill to the heart of Manhattan, the disappearance of high-profile, United States Senator Patricia Mills has gripped the nation.
Authorities are not releasing any details at this time, but the family is set to make a statement, and we'll bring that to you live as soon as it happens.
Cut.
That's a good one.
Welcome to the show.
Somebody should alert the media.
Are those Knicks tickets?
Yeah, I like to carry them around, give the illusion of a personal life.
Sorry about your day off.
That's all right.
I think I'd rather look for a missing US senator than watch the Knicks.
So where are we?
Senator Patricia Mills, 37, been in office all of three months.
Told her husband that she was flying back to Washington for an emergency meeting.
But?
There was no meeting.
Her staff didn't know that she was coming back.
A US senator involved in deceit?
There's a shock.
Did she make it to Washington?
The TSA said that she booked the flight, but she never boarded the plane.
What about the husband?
Alan Crane, mid-level tax attorney.
They've been married for six years.
You'll get some face time with him after the press conference.
I can't wait.
Okay, this will be short.
To my daughter, Patty, if you're out there listening, we're going to find you, sweetheart.
We will not rest until you're safely back to us.
And to the person responsible for this, we're going to find you, too.
I promise you that.
Alan, you got anything you want to say?
That's it then.
No questions.
I don't know whether he's upset or insulted.
I find it interesting that the father gives the statement and not the husband.
If it was my wife, I'd be going point on this.
You better call your husband, tell him you're never coming home.
This one's going into overtime.
Capture & Sync: FRM@team Hello?
We can hear you.
Hello?
Hello?
Yes, Jack, go ahead.
We can hear you.
Can you hear me?
Yes!
Okay, great.
Every politician, agency and talking head is going to be waiting for us to screw this up.
So let's keep it tight.
Has anybody contacted Senator Mills' office?
Well, her secretary emailed her calendar, so we're going through all her meetings over the past month.
Okay, go back further.
Dig in to her life here and in DC.
Listen, guys, it's been 15 hours.
If this was a kidnapping, we'd have a ransom call by now.
Well, she's attractive; she's always on TV; maybe she has a stalker.
What about political enemies?
She is the pro-gun, pro-choice face of the progressive rights, so she's going to have enemies on both sides of the aisle.
We'll look in to it, Jack.
Right.
We get anything from her cell phone yet?
Yeah...
pinged off a tower at 5:17 p.m.
yesterday, out near Black Rock Harbor in Bridgeport, Connecticut.
There's been nothing since then.
Okay, let's send the Coast Guard out there to have a look.
I want you guys to follow every lead until it dead-ends.
Aside from all three branches of government, I'm going to have Olczyk way up my ass on this one.
I'm already up it, Jack, and I'm not coming out until you find Senator Mills.
Hey, listen, would you mind checking my prostate while you're up there?
All right, guys.
Let's get on it.
Why didn't you speak at the press conference this morning?
I was going to, but I felt physically sick.
When was the last time you saw your wife?
Yesterday afternoon.
She was packing for Washington.
I kissed her good-bye, and then I went to my office.
How long were you there?
From about 3:00 to 9:00-9:30.
Were there any problems between you and your wife?
No,not at all.
Well, she wasn't exactly up-front with you.
I get that you, you know, you have to do this, okay, but Patty and I were good.
Listen, I...
I think that you should try and find Fazel Masari.
Who's that?
Her chief of staff.
She fired him three days ago.
Why?
Patty was working on a healthcare thing.
Something for immigrants, but she was having a hard time getting the dinosaurs in her party on board.
Fazel leaked the story to the Post, detailing Patty's frustrations.
It named names.
It called some of the senior Republicans to the carpet, and they didn't like that.
They killed the initiative, and she had to let himo.
Women deserve at least the bare minimum of prenatal care.
Aren't most of them illegals?
Well...
Oh, God, it's warm.
It doesn't matter.
Women get pregnant, babies get born.
It's a hell of a lot cheaper if they're born healthy.
Patricia!
Why haven't you called me back?
Lower your ???
You're not being fair.
Hey, calm down.
Alan.
Just give us a second.
I screwed up.
I thought it would help you.
Please, believe me.
I do.
But I don't trust your judgment, and I can't afford another mistake.
Don't do this to me.
You did this to yourself.
And I'm sorry, but...
we're just going to have to move on.
So that's it?
You're just going to cut me out?
Do I mean that little to you?
You did this.
Not me.
You're making a mistake!
I would have done anything for you!
Patty!
It crushed her.
She put her ass on the line for Fazel.
How?
He's a devout Muslim of Pakistani descent, not exactly the Republican prototype for chief of staff.
But Fazel's been her closest friend since Yale, and Patty's loyal to a fault.
Any chance they were having an affair?
No, God, no, I mean, that never occurred to me.
Who's that yacht belong to?
Well, Hayden owns it, but everyone knows that it belongs to Patty.
It's her sanctuary.
Is it docked in Black Rock Harbor?
Yeah.
Why?
Well, we got a ping from your wife's phone from that area yesterday.
That doesn't make any sense.
I don't know what she'd be doing out there.
Would you mind if we looked at the boat?
Of course, if it'll help.
Anything.
Anything that you need.
Alan Crane's alibi checks out.
A security at his office saw him come and go and the cameras in the lobby confirm that.
Anything on Fazel Masari?
MIA.
Capital police checked his DC apartment.
Super said he hasn't seen him in a couple of days.
Okay, any other addresses?
No, but he has family in Dearborn, Michigan and New Jersey.
So I'm going to check with them.
Okay, come I want to show you something.
I was able to verify every single appointment in Patricia's calendar except this one right here from five days ago. "
EA."
That's got to be initials.
Maybe it could be a location.
What did her secretary say?
Well, when she asked about it, Patricia went ballistic and accused her of snooping into her personal life.
If she wants it to be a secret, what the hell's it doing in her calendar?
I'm not worried about that.
I don't care how you get it done.
Just do it!
Find her!
I'll call you in ten minutes.
Mr.
Mills.
Sounds like you're rounding up the posse.
I would strongly advise against doing that.
I'm not putting my daughter's life in the hands of a civil servant.
If your people get in the way, I will arrest them and you for impeding a federal investigation.
You had some questions for me.
Yeah.
Did your daughter confide in you about her...
her personal life?
Patty and I are very close.
She tells me a lot of things in confidence.
Is it possible that she was having an affair?
Specifically, with Fazel Masari?
Are you asking me if my daughter was a whore?
People have affairs for lots of different reasons, Mr.
Mills.
Why don't you get your nose out of the FBI manual, and get some boots on the ground looking for my daughter.
You're wasting time, Agent Malone.
What do you think happened to her?
I don't know, but I'll find out!
When's the last time you talked to her?
About a week ago.
Patty's so damn busy, but...
she squeezed me in.
Did you see me on CSPAN?
I look so pale and washed out.
I didn't even recognize myself.
You looked fine.
But you shouldn't wear blue.
Red is your color.
It's not the Bloods and the Crips.
You guys are worse.
At least they have a code.
Look at you.
What?
And I thought you'd lost your way after college, when you started digging toilets in India for that hippie cult.
You mean the Peace Corps?
Whatever.
I was afraid you'd become a trust fund do-gooder putting my money where your mouth is.
Beneath the suit, I still am a hippie do-gooder.
You've never let me down, Patty, not for a second.
I am so proud of you.
But you've got to promise me you're never going to become like this.
Always remember who you are.
And never do anyone's bidding.
I promise.
Drink to it.
Make it real.
Senator Mills.
Hi, Leslie.
It's a great pleasure to see you.
Nice to see you.
Well, your daughter's been making a lot of noise on the hill.
Looks like I bet on the right horse.
You bet on every horse, Leslie.
Well, I didn't want to interrupt.
So nice to see you.
Well, thanks for stopping by.
Enjoy.
You better wash your hands.
Oh, come on.
It's just part of the job.
Anyway, you're busy telling me how impressed you are with me.
Was I?
Yeah.
Patty's mother passed away when she was nine.
Since then it's just been the two of us.
Is it possible that, uh...
this Leslie Warrick character had a beef with you or your daughter?
Not that I know of.
Anybody else?
Like who?
You started at the Hudson River Terminal, right?
Everybody comes from somewhere.
Yes, they do.
But you made a lot out of a little and probably had to crush a few skulls along the way.
Could your daughter's disappearance be some form of payback?
I doubt it.
What about recent businesses?
Any of them go sour?
Not more than usual.
Would you mind if we looked at your books?
If I think it's relative to my daughter, fine.
If not, no.
Pretty good place to hide out; it's desolate.
Is the uncle around?
Yeah, he's been traveling in Pakistan for the past month.
Fazel Masari, FBI.
Open up!
??????????
No TV, no computers, no books.
There's nothing to do here but pray.
Any sign of a note?
No, nothing.
This is his Koran.
If Fazel was a devout Muslim, suicide would go against his belief.
Listen, maybe killing Patricia was too much for him to handle.
So we're able to pull anything off of Patricia's laptop?
She's been downloading a ton of stuff regarding a proposed deep-sea oil drilling project in the Gulf of Mexico, called Milwaukee Depth-- all in the last week.
And they're all authored by the same guy, a geologist at Columbia, a Dr.
Elliott Aero.
Elliott Aero.
That's got to be the "EA" she met with five days ago.
I can't imagine that went well.
According to this, Aero recently testified before the Senate subcommittee that Senator Mills sits on.
He blasted Milwaukee Depth, calling it a money grab with potentially catastrophic environmental results.
The Republicans blasted back, with Patricia leading the charge.
Did they go after his research?
and his tenure.
Soon after he testified, it came out that he lied on a federal grant application ten years ago.
Well, you know, a professor, all he has is his reputation and tenure.
If he thought he was on the verge of losing both, maybe he went after Senator Mills himself.
So you saw Senator Mills five days ago.
I really don't have time for this.
I have a lot of packing to do.
You must have been pretty angry when her colleagues had you investigated.
You mean the witch hunt?
Did you not lie to the federal government to obtain a grant?
If your government would cough up some decent funding, I wouldn't have to.
Professor Aero, the longer you stonewall us, the more you look like a prime suspect.
I suggest you talk to us now, or losing your tenure will be the least of your problems.
She called me.
She wanted to meet.
Yeah.
Professor Aero.
For now.
We'll just have to see what the Board of Regents decides.
Yeah, I'm sorry about that.
You didn't seem sorry when you and your friends were cutting me to shreds.
Warrick Industries.
They're criminals.
Can you prove it?
Yeah.
You want a drink first?
No, thanks.
You might need one.
The oil in the Gulf flies under 10,000 feet of water, five miles of rock, packed sand, and thick salt.
You have to pipe it up through that, then to a refinery on shore.
That costs hundreds of millions of dollars.
Warrick Industries wants to offset that expense by using a cheaper experimental material for the pipes.
The problem is the material ruptures.
You're looking at the ecological equivalent of Iraq.
We saw Warrick's test results.
Those pipes are safe.
What you saw was pie-in-the-sky speculation, polished up by Warrick.
These are the actual numbers.
The pipes rupture 12% of the time.
Well, why didn't you present this at the hearing?
Those are classified internal documents that I stole from Warrick's R&E department.
And now you have them.
Be careful who you talk to about this.
She took the documents with her.
She seemed pretty convinced.
Convinced enough to vote against the project?
I hope so.
So how exactly did you steal these documents from Warrick Industries?
Senator Mills is probably dead because of those documents.
I'm not getting anyone else involved.
It's a little late for that.
Until we can clear you and your friend, like my partner said, you're the prime suspect.
Aero's story checks out.
His source inside Warrick Industries was a Dr.
Lee.
He conducted the initial tests, and then goosed the results as instructed by his superiors.
Okay, well, I think I figured out why Senator Mills is so concerned about Warrick Industries.
Warrick contributed $5 million to her election campaign.
That violates campaign finance laws.
Yeah, but he ?????????
It looks like he had each of his employees donate the maximum amount, so he could reimburse them through bonuses.
That way everything looks on the level.
And for five million bucks, he would expect that she would throw him a vote.
Let's see if we can get him in here.
The coroner's office just ruled Fazel's death a homicide.
They found a second set of marks on his neck.
He was strangled before he was hanged.
That's Newark's P.D.
problem now.
Make sure they keep us in the loop.
You got it.
E.R.T.
get anything off the boat?
Not yet, but they're still working.
I'm gonna head down there and see if I can light a fire under their ass.
It's a little chilly for diving, isn't it?
Can I help you with something?
Sorry, yeah, I'm with the FBI.
Special Agent Jack Malone.
What's your name?
Sarah.
I do maintenance on the boats.
You out here a lot?
With spring coming, I've been prepping the boats pretty much nonstop.
Do you know the owners of that boat?
Yeah.
Why?
Well, I'm investigating the disappearance of Patricia Mills.
I heard about that.
You ever talk to her?
Sure.
Patty's great.
Loves to talk about boats.
How about her husband?
Not a fan.
Why is that?
Put it this way.
If my breasts had eyes, we'd make a lot of eye contact.
Got it...
has he been around the boat in the last week or so?
About four days ago, I was sealing the boat.
Patty and Alan were just docking.
One thing, that's all I'm asking!
Who the hell do you think you are?
You're not so righteous.
You ju like to seem that way.
Don't you dare!
You know I'm just really starting to wonder what the hell I'm getting out of this marriage!
I've never seen them go at it like that.
Um...
Give me a call if you think of anything else.
I got to get a boat.
Did you get a hold of Warrick?
Nope.
He's hiding behind his lawyers.
I think Alan Crane killed his wife.
Did you find something at the boat?
Classified test documents from Warrick Industries that Aero gave Patricia.
Well, wouldn't that point more towards Warrick than her husband?
I mean, he stands to lose billions of dollars if she votes against Milwaukee Depth.
Yeah, except, I have an eyewitness that places Alan with the documents, arguing with Patricia on the boat.
I think he has a stake in this.
Jack, his alibi checks out.
Then let's recheck it and see if we can find a hole in it.
Okay.
Jack?
Alan Crane is here to see you.
Mr.
Crane.
Did, uh, one of my agents call you?
Nobody's called me.
That's why I'm here.
Is it true that Fazel killed himself?
It's undetermined.
So, what-what does that mean for Patricia?
Well, it's a little early to speculate.
That's not good enough, Agent Malone.
I-I want to know what you a doing to find my wife.
Well, we have some leads.
Some promising, some not.
Let me tell you something that you may not know.
I can make a call right now and have you shipped out to East Bumble, North Dakota within the week, okay?
I can do that.
Why-Why are you threatening me?
Because when I ask you about my wife, I want an answer!
Are you aware that your wife was gonna vote against the Milwaukee Depth project?
I knew that she was leaning that way.
Why?
Were you conflicted by that?
The way that my wife votes has got nothing to do with me.
I support her unconditionally.
Is that because she demands it?
No, it's because I offer it.
And your wife's success-- does that...
Does it cause you any personal problems?
Okay.
I don't t to see her as much as I'd like.
But Patty becoming a senator is all that we've ever wanted.
We worked very hard to make that happen. "
We"?
We, that's right.
We.
My wife and I are in this together, side by side.
She is living her dream, and yeah, I've...
I've had to make some sacrifices, but that's what you do when you love somebody.
You sacrifice.
She'd do the same thing for me.
That's the way it is with us.
Sounds like the perfect partnership.
It's a marriage.
It's not a partnership.
Right.
Right.
Alan Crane's law office doesn't trust their employees.
They use a software in their computer network that records everything.
They even count keystrokes.
All right, so let's see what Mr.
Crane was doing between the hours of 3:00 and 9:30 p.m.
last night.
He logged on at 3:05, then no activity till 9:07 when he purchased a wine thermometer before logging off at 9:17.
Okay, so that's six hours we can't actually account for him.
Except we see him coming and going on the lobby cameras.
Unless he didn't exit through the lobby.
All right, I need to know if Mr.
Crane could have gotten to and from Black Rock Harbor in that time frame.
Let's see.
Based on average traffic flow for that time of day, that would put him in Black Rock Harbor in about two hours.
So that gives him four hours to take his boat out, kill his wife, get back to the office.
He'd have to catch nothing but green lights.
But he could do it.
Milwaukee Depth?
You brought me in here to talk about oil?
You are aware that she was gonna vote to block the drilling.
What relevance is that to your investigation?
Trying to find your daughter.
You're not going to find her under your desk.
Why don't you get out there and do something?
And how is your investigation going, Mr.
Mills?
Turned up any leads?
You have to let me do my job, okay?
It's not a pissing contest.
I am just trying to find her and bring her back alive, you understand?
What do you need from me?
Tell me about your son-in-law.
Alan?
He...
He's fine. "
Fine"?
That's the extent of your opinion of the man that married your daughter?
Patty always viewed marriage as some kind of an affront to women's lib.
I told her, it's that much harder for a single woman to win a Senate seat.
Family values and all that crap.
She finally came around, and Alan was in the right place at the right time.
She got married to get elected?
Look, that's me talking.
She loves Alan for whatever reason.
Was he ever violent with her?
Alan's a slippery guy, but I don't see him doing anything like this.
Frankly, he doesn't have the stones.
Oh, honey, you have to bring it up.
I don't know.
Maybe there's a reason that he hasn't asked me.
Look at me.
You're brilliant, and you're talented.
And I love you.
Okay?
Come here.
And he's in a good mood, so come on.
I think our waitress clocked out.
Well, listen, gentlemen, I just need to use the ladies' room.
Just tell him what you want to.
Oh, I hate this restaurant and everybody in it.
Well, hey, the beer's cold.
Hard to screw that up.
Patty says that you guys are, uh, looking for a new VP of Acquisitions.
I'm drinking, Alan.
I don't want to talk business.
Okay, but when you are ready to talk, I have some interesting ideas that I want to run by you.
What?
Are you throwing your hat in the ring?
Yes, sir, I am.
Hayden, I can make you a lot of money.
Alan, you couldn't run a Dairy Queen.
Look, I-I like you, son, but, uh, I'm not your daddy, and I don't owe you anything.
You hear me?
I hear you.
Now, Patty's got this election coming up.
I think we're all best served if you, uh, just stand down a while, huh?
Support Patty.
Yeah, yeah, you-you...
You're right.
There she is.
To the future senator from New York.
Oh.
Hear, hear.
Oh, thank you.
Cheers.
And how did he handle that?
He made his play.
Can't fault him for that But he fell in line.
You smacked him down pretty hard.
There must have been some resentment.
Sure, but he never showed it to me.
Yeah, 'cause he's probably afraid of you, but that resentment would have to be focused somewhere.
You think he did something to Patty as payback?
It's possible.
Taking the boat out?
Just trying to keep busy and let you do your job.
Do you have an update for me?
No, unfortunately not.
I wish I did.
Well, that's disappointing.
Yeah.
Why is it whenever I'm on one of these things I feel like I should be scrubbing the deck?
Ask your shrink.
It sounds like a self-esteem issue.
He's just gonna tell me it's a product of my working class background.
You grew up in Camden, New Jersey, right?
I sure did.
So you get it.
Guys like us...
we're the same breed.
Although I'm sure when you married Patricia, you thought Hayden would take you into the fold.
My father-in-law and I are very close.
Close, yeah, but y're never gonna be one of them.
To him, you're always gonna be a low-rent scrub from Jersey.
But you clean up nice, so he lets you hang around so you can be his daughter's handbag.
You know what?
You are way out of line.
One second.
Yeah.
Hey, Jack, Bridgeport PD just found a body matching Patricia's description, washed up on the beach at Seaside Park.
I'm heading to the morgue now.
I'll see you there.
Did you kill your wife, Mr.
Crane?
Get off my boat, and if you come near me again without my lawyer present, I will file a harassment complaint.
You do that.
Don't plan on any long trips.
Victim has a deep puncture wound in her back, but her lungs were filled with water.
Cause of death was drowning.
And judging from how well-preserved her body is, I have to assume she was stuck in some type of container.
Oh.
Like an ice chest?
Bad work.
Any physical evidence?
Sorry.
The water washed her clean.
Jack, they're here.
Good.
Um, do me a favor and cover up her body, would you?
Absolutely.
Is it her?
I'm gonna need one of you to make a positive ID.
I'll do it.
This way, Mr.
Mills.
You know, your wife was still alive when she washoved into that ice chest.
It's her.
Are you sure?
Yes, I'm sure.
It's Patty.
Son of a bitch!
Don't you want to see your wife?
I lied to you.
Mr.
Mills?
I knew Patty was going to vote to block Milwaukee Depth.
I just put myself in Warrick's pocket.
That's the game, Patty.
No, it's bribery.
I'm voting to block the Milwaukee Depth project.
Listen to me.
You're a junior senator.
You got to go along to get along for a while, get established.
Then you can start pushing your own agenda.
Warrick gave the committee bogus test results.
The pipes are not safe.
That's Warrick's problem, but you need to vote the way you said you would.
I never promised anything.
Look at this.
I've seen it.
You're in bed with Warrick.
You made a promise when you took his money.
Oh, my God.
My entire life you tell me never to sell out.
And you just put me on the auction block?
It's one vote, Patty.
Don't make it bigger than it is.
Now, you got to get your head on straight and do the right thing here.
That's exactly what I intend to do.
Patricia, you've got to trust me on this.
I always knew that you stepped on people to get your own way, but I never thought it would be me.
Look, sweetheart.
Just go.
Look...
Get out of my office!
Go!
That was the last time we spoke.
What was your involvement with the deal?
Warrick promised my company the contract to run production platforms if I could deliver Patty's vote.
I assumed she was going to vote for it anyway.
It was a no-brainer.
I always hated that Patty was going to grow up.
You get older, you, you get cold and beat-up.
I was waiting for Patty to get that way, just dreading the hell out of it, but she never did.
She was always my little girl.
I'm very sorry for your loss, Mr.
Mills.
Oh, come on, Alex.
You can't be serious about this!
Patricia Mills is now a homicide, and as such, we're handing her case off to Violent Crimes.
Look, I know this case better than anybody else.
It makes no sense to pull us out.
Well, that's the way it is.
This isn't protocol.
This is politics.
Oh, you bet your ass it is.
I'm telling you Alan Crane murdered his wife.
Can you prove that?
Do you have anything we can charge him with?
Because that pinprick hole you punched through his alibi is not going to get it done.
Alex, I can nail this guy.
I just need a little more time.
Jack.
?????????
And I'm above you.
So that's the call.
Now prepare your report and have it on my desk by Thursday.
Three days after the discovery of Patricia Mills' body, Alan Crane has not commented on whether or not he will push to fill the senate seat, left empty by the death of his wife, saying only that he's grieving a terrible loss, and will address the issue when the time is right.
Senator Mills will be laid to rest late this afternoon in a private ceremony for family...
Jack, you got a second?
Yeah, sure.
I was combing through the witness statements gathered by Capitol Police regarding Patricia Mills, and...
Just stop.
Just stop, okay?
It's somebody else's headache now.
You sure you're not interested?
A little.
The ma�tre d' at Capital Grill remembers seeing Alan Crane having a martini with Leslie Warrick.
Can we verify that?
I can put Alan there.
He paid with his credit card.
The manager faxed the receipt over to me.
Now in terms of Warrick, we're going to have to go with the witness statement.
This was four days before Patricia was killed.
I just thought I'd bring it to your attention.
Almighty God, we come before you, the supreme judge, and to Jesus, and to all the spirits of the righteous made perfect.
Almighty and ever-living God, in you we place our trust and hope.
In you, the dead whose bodies were temples of the spirit, find everlasting peace.
As we take leave of our sister, give our hearts peace...
What are you doing here?
Just paying my respects.
Because God has chosen to call our sister, Patricia, from this life to Himself, we commit her body to the earth.
For we are dust, and onto dust we shall return.
What did he offer you?
Stocks?
Cash?
A seat on the board?
What did who offer me?
Leslie Warrick.
Keep it up, Agent Malone.
You always wanted to be a player.
And when you heard that Patricia was going to change her vote, and that she had a falling out with her father, you made your move.
I can guarantee you Patty's vote on Milwaukee Depth.
Hayden said she's left the reservation.
I can bring her back.
If her father can't, how do you think you can?
I'll handle it.
Look, are you interested or not?
If you shake my hand, you make me a promise.
Don't...
break your promise, Alan.
But Patricia wouldn't roll.
I can't even have a conversation without considering how it will reflect on to you.
Just stop it, Alan.
I mean, this has worked out pretty damn well for you.
You throw my family's name around town like it's your own.
Look, I need this, Patty.
You owe me!
I'm not going to do it.
I'm not going to cast a senatorial vote to preserve your brittle little ego.
I mean, if you and my father want to vote so bad, then maybe you should become a senator.
Why can't you just do this one thing for me?
One thing!
That's all I'm asking!
Who the hell do you think you are?
You're not so righteous.
You just like to seem that way.
That was a real problem for you.
When you realized that you couldn't deliver the vote that you promised.
You asked Patricia out to the boat.
It was easy to get her out there.
As you said...
it was her sanctuary.
You even staged Fazel Masari's suicide just to get us off the track.
...and give her peace.
May her soul and all the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
Was it worth it?
You have no idea what you're talking about.
The fact that you're even speaking to me while your wife is being lowered into the ground tells me everything that I need to know.
If you could prove any of this, you wouldn't be here.
You can't touch me.
You're right.
I can't.
I'm very sorry.
I'll be right there.
It's beautiful.
I should have come out here an hour ago.
From the corners of Capitol Hill to the heart of Manhattan, the disappearance of high-profile, United States Senator Patricia Mills has gripped the nation.
Authorities are not releasing any details at this time, but the family is set to make a statement, and we'll bring that to you live as soon as it happens.
Cut.
That's a good one.
Welcome to the show.
Somebody should alert the media.
Are those Knicks tickets?
Yeah, I like to carry them around, give the illusion of a personal life.
Sorry about your day off.
That's all right.
I think I'd rather look for a missing US senator than watch the Knicks.
So where are we?
Senator Patricia Mills, 37, been in office all of three months.
Told her husband that she was flying back to Washington for an emergency meeting.
But?
There was no meeting.
Her staff didn't know that she was coming back.
A US senator involved in deceit?
There's a shock.
Did she make it to Washington?
The TSA said that she booked the flight, but she never boarded the plane.
What about the husband?
Alan Crane, mid-level tax attorney.
They've been married for six years.
You'll get some face time with him after the press conference.
I can't wait.
Okay, this will be short.
To my daughter, Patty, if you're out there listening, we're going to find you, sweetheart.
We will not rest until you're safely back to us.
And to the person responsible for this, we're going to find you, too.
I promise you that.
Alan, you got anything you want to say?
That's it then.
No questions.
I don't know whether he's upset or insulted.
I find it interesting that the father gives the statement and not the husband.
If it was my wife, I'd be going point on this.
You better call your husband, tell him you're never coming home.
This one's going into overtime.
Capture & Sync: FRM@team Hello?
We can hear you.
Hello?
Hello?
Yes, Jack, go ahead.
We can hear you.
Can you hear me?
Yes!
Okay, great.
Every politician, agency and talking head is going to be waiting for us to screw this up.
So let's keep it tight.
Has anybody contacted Senator Mills' office?
Well, her secretary emailed her calendar, so we're going through all her meetings over the past month.
Okay, go back further.
Dig in to her life here and in DC.
Listen, guys, it's been 15 hours.
If this was a kidnapping, we'd have a ransom call by now.
Well, she's attractive; she's always on TV; maybe she has a stalker.
What about political enemies?
She is the pro-gun, pro-choice face of the progressive rights, so she's going to have enemies on both sides of the aisle.
We'll look in to it, Jack.
Right.
We get anything from her cell phone yet?
Yeah...
pinged off a tower at 5:17 p.m.
yesterday, out near Black Rock Harbor in Bridgeport, Connecticut.
There's been nothing since then.
Okay, let's send the Coast Guard out there to have a look.
I want you guys to follow every lead until it dead-ends.
Aside from all three branches of government, I'm going to have Olczyk way up my ass on this one.
I'm already up it, Jack, and I'm not coming out until you find Senator Mills.
Hey, listen, would you mind checking my prostate while you're up there?
All right, guys.
Let's get on it.
Why didn't you speak at the press conference this morning?
I was going to, but I felt physically sick.
When was the last time you saw your wife?
Yesterday afternoon.
She was packing for Washington.
I kissed her good-bye, and then I went to my office.
How long were you there?
From about 3:00 to 9:00-9:30.
Were there any problems between you and your wife?
No,not at all.
Well, she wasn't exactly up-front with you.
I get that you, you know, you have to do this, okay, but Patty and I were good.
Listen, I...
I think that you should try and find Fazel Masari.
Who's that?
Her chief of staff.
She fired him three days ago.
Why?
Patty was working on a healthcare thing.
Something for immigrants, but she was having a hard time getting the dinosaurs in her party on board.
Fazel leaked the story to the Post, detailing Patty's frustrations.
It named names.
It called some of the senior Republicans to the carpet, and they didn't like that.
They killed the initiative, and she had to let himo.
Women deserve at least the bare minimum of prenatal care.
Aren't most of them illegals?
Well...
Oh, God, it's warm.
It doesn't matter.
Women get pregnant, babies get born.
It's a hell of a lot cheaper if they're born healthy.
Patricia!
Why haven't you called me back?
Lower your ???
You're not being fair.
Hey, calm down.
Alan.
Just give us a second.
I screwed up.
I thought it would help you.
Please, believe me.
I do.
But I don't trust your judgment, and I can't afford another mistake.
Don't do this to me.
You did this to yourself.
And I'm sorry, but...
we're just going to have to move on.
So that's it?
You're just going to cut me out?
Do I mean that little to you?
You did this.
Not me.
You're making a mistake!
I would have done anything for you!
Patty!
It crushed her.
She put her ass on the line for Fazel.
How?
He's a devout Muslim of Pakistani descent, not exactly the Republican prototype for chief of staff.
But Fazel's been her closest friend since Yale, and Patty's loyal to a fault.
Any chance they were having an affair?
No, God, no, I mean, that never occurred to me.
Who's that yacht belong to?
Well, Hayden owns it, but everyone knows that it belongs to Patty.
It's her sanctuary.
Is it docked in Black Rock Harbor?
Yeah.
Why?
Well, we got a ping from your wife's phone from that area yesterday.
That doesn't make any sense.
I don't know what she'd be doing out there.
Would you mind if we looked at the boat?
Of course, if it'll help.
Anything.
Anything that you need.
Alan Crane's alibi checks out.
A security at his office saw him come and go and the cameras in the lobby confirm that.
Anything on Fazel Masari?
MIA.
Capital police checked his DC apartment.
Super said he hasn't seen him in a couple of days.
Okay, any other addresses?
No, but he has family in Dearborn, Michigan and New Jersey.
So I'm going to check with them.
Okay, come I want to show you something.
I was able to verify every single appointment in Patricia's calendar except this one right here from five days ago. "
EA."
That's got to be initials.
Maybe it could be a location.
What did her secretary say?
Well, when she asked about it, Patricia went ballistic and accused her of snooping into her personal life.
If she wants it to be a secret, what the hell's it doing in her calendar?
I'm not worried about that.
I don't care how you get it done.
Just do it!
Find her!
I'll call you in ten minutes.
Mr.
Mills.
Sounds like you're rounding up the posse.
I would strongly advise against doing that.
I'm not putting my daughter's life in the hands of a civil servant.
If your people get in the way, I will arrest them and you for impeding a federal investigation.
You had some questions for me.
Yeah.
Did your daughter confide in you about her...
her personal life?
Patty and I are very close.
She tells me a lot of things in confidence.
Is it possible that she was having an affair?
Specifically, with Fazel Masari?
Are you asking me if my daughter was a whore?
People have affairs for lots of different reasons, Mr.
Mills.
Why don't you get your nose out of the FBI manual, and get some boots on the ground looking for my daughter.
You're wasting time, Agent Malone.
What do you think happened to her?
I don't know, but I'll find out!
When's the last time you talked to her?
About a week ago.
Patty's so damn busy, but...
she squeezed me in.
Did you see me on CSPAN?
I look so pale and washed out.
I didn't even recognize myself.
You looked fine.
But you shouldn't wear blue.
Red is your color.
It's not the Bloods and the Crips.
You guys are worse.
At least they have a code.
Look at you.
What?
And I thought you'd lost your way after college, when you started digging toilets in India for that hippie cult.
You mean the Peace Corps?
Whatever.
I was afraid you'd become a trust fund do-gooder putting my money where your mouth is.
Beneath the suit, I still am a hippie do-gooder.
You've never let me down, Patty, not for a second.
I am so proud of you.
But you've got to promise me you're never going to become like this.
Always remember who you are.
And never do anyone's bidding.
I promise.
Drink to it.
Make it real.
Senator Mills.
Hi, Leslie.
It's a great pleasure to see you.
Nice to see you.
Well, your daughter's been making a lot of noise on the hill.
Looks like I bet on the right horse.
You bet on every horse, Leslie.
Well, I didn't want to interrupt.
So nice to see you.
Well, thanks for stopping by.
Enjoy.
You better wash your hands.
Oh, come on.
It's just part of the job.
Anyway, you're busy telling me how impressed you are with me.
Was I?
Yeah.
Patty's mother passed away when she was nine.
Since then it's just been the two of us.
Is it possible that, uh...
this Leslie Warrick character had a beef with you or your daughter?
Not that I know of.
Anybody else?
Like who?
You started at the Hudson River Terminal, right?
Everybody comes from somewhere.
Yes, they do.
But you made a lot out of a little and probably had to crush a few skulls along the way.
Could your daughter's disappearance be some form of payback?
I doubt it.
What about recent businesses?
Any of them go sour?
Not more than usual.
Would you mind if we looked at your books?
If I think it's relative to my daughter, fine.
If not, no.
Pretty good place to hide out; it's desolate.
Is the uncle around?
Yeah, he's been traveling in Pakistan for the past month.
Fazel Masari, FBI.
Open up!
??????????
No TV, no computers, no books.
There's nothing to do here but pray.
Any sign of a note?
No, nothing.
This is his Koran.
If Fazel was a devout Muslim, suicide would go against his belief.
Listen, maybe killing Patricia was too much for him to handle.
So we're able to pull anything off of Patricia's laptop?
She's been downloading a ton of stuff regarding a proposed deep-sea oil drilling project in the Gulf of Mexico, called Milwaukee Depth-- all in the last week.
And they're all authored by the same guy, a geologist at Columbia, a Dr.
Elliott Aero.
Elliott Aero.
That's got to be the "EA" she met with five days ago.
I can't imagine that went well.
According to this, Aero recently testified before the Senate subcommittee that Senator Mills sits on.
He blasted Milwaukee Depth, calling it a money grab with potentially catastrophic environmental results.
The Republicans blasted back, with Patricia leading the charge.
Did they go after his research?
and his tenure.
Soon after he testified, it came out that he lied on a federal grant application ten years ago.
Well, you know, a professor, all he has is his reputation and tenure.
If he thought he was on the verge of losing both, maybe he went after Senator Mills himself.
So you saw Senator Mills five days ago.
I really don't have time for this.
I have a lot of packing to do.
You must have been pretty angry when her colleagues had you investigated.
You mean the witch hunt?
Did you not lie to the federal government to obtain a grant?
If your government would cough up some decent funding, I wouldn't have to.
Professor Aero, the longer you stonewall us, the more you look like a prime suspect.
I suggest you talk to us now, or losing your tenure will be the least of your problems.
She called me.
She wanted to meet.
Yeah.
Professor Aero.
For now.
We'll just have to see what the Board of Regents decides.
Yeah, I'm sorry about that.
You didn't seem sorry when you and your friends were cutting me to shreds.
Warrick Industries.
They're criminals.
Can you prove it?
Yeah.
You want a drink first?
No, thanks.
You might need one.
The oil in the Gulf flies under 10,000 feet of water, five miles of rock, packed sand, and thick salt.
You have to pipe it up through that, then to a refinery on shore.
That costs hundreds of millions of dollars.
Warrick Industries wants to offset that expense by using a cheaper experimental material for the pipes.
The problem is the material ruptures.
You're looking at the ecological equivalent of Iraq.
We saw Warrick's test results.
Those pipes are safe.
What you saw was pie-in-the-sky speculation, polished up by Warrick.
These are the actual numbers.
The pipes rupture 12% of the time.
Well, why didn't you present this at the hearing?
Those are classified internal documents that I stole from Warrick's R&E department.
And now you have them.
Be careful who you talk to about this.
She took the documents with her.
She seemed pretty convinced.
Convinced enough to vote against the project?
I hope so.
So how exactly did you steal these documents from Warrick Industries?
Senator Mills is probably dead because of those documents.
I'm not getting anyone else involved.
It's a little late for that.
Until we can clear you and your friend, like my partner said, you're the prime suspect.
Aero's story checks out.
His source inside Warrick Industries was a Dr.
Lee.
He conducted the initial tests, and then goosed the results as instructed by his superiors.
Okay, well, I think I figured out why Senator Mills is so concerned about Warrick Industries.
Warrick contributed $5 million to her election campaign.
That violates campaign finance laws.
Yeah, but he ?????????
It looks like he had each of his employees donate the maximum amount, so he could reimburse them through bonuses.
That way everything looks on the level.
And for five million bucks, he would expect that she would throw him a vote.
Let's see if we can get him in here.
The coroner's office just ruled Fazel's death a homicide.
They found a second set of marks on his neck.
He was strangled before he was hanged.
That's Newark's P.D.
problem now.
Make sure they keep us in the loop.
You got it.
E.R.T.
get anything off the boat?
Not yet, but they're still working.
I'm gonna head down there and see if I can light a fire under their ass.
It's a little chilly for diving, isn't it?
Can I help you with something?
Sorry, yeah, I'm with the FBI.
Special Agent Jack Malone.
What's your name?
Sarah.
I do maintenance on the boats.
You out here a lot?
With spring coming, I've been prepping the boats pretty much nonstop.
Do you know the owners of that boat?
Yeah.
Why?
Well, I'm investigating the disappearance of Patricia Mills.
I heard about that.
You ever talk to her?
Sure.
Patty's great.
Loves to talk about boats.
How about her husband?
Not a fan.
Why is that?
Put it this way.
If my breasts had eyes, we'd make a lot of eye contact.
Got it...
has he been around the boat in the last week or so?
About four days ago, I was sealing the boat.
Patty and Alan were just docking.
One thing, that's all I'm asking!
Who the hell do you think you are?
You're not so righteous.
You ju like to seem that way.
Don't you dare!
You know I'm just really starting to wonder what the hell I'm getting out of this marriage!
I've never seen them go at it like that.
Um...
Give me a call if you think of anything else.
I got to get a boat.
Did you get a hold of Warrick?
Nope.
He's hiding behind his lawyers.
I think Alan Crane killed his wife.
Did you find something at the boat?
Classified test documents from Warrick Industries that Aero gave Patricia.
Well, wouldn't that point more towards Warrick than her husband?
I mean, he stands to lose billions of dollars if she votes against Milwaukee Depth.
Yeah, except, I have an eyewitness that places Alan with the documents, arguing with Patricia on the boat.
I think he has a stake in this.
Jack, his alibi checks out.
Then let's recheck it and see if we can find a hole in it.
Okay.
Jack?
Alan Crane is here to see you.
Mr.
Crane.
Did, uh, one of my agents call you?
Nobody's called me.
That's why I'm here.
Is it true that Fazel killed himself?
It's undetermined.
So, what-what does that mean for Patricia?
Well, it's a little early to speculate.
That's not good enough, Agent Malone.
I-I want to know what you a doing to find my wife.
Well, we have some leads.
Some promising, some not.
Let me tell you something that you may not know.
I can make a call right now and have you shipped out to East Bumble, North Dakota within the week, okay?
I can do that.
Why-Why are you threatening me?
Because when I ask you about my wife, I want an answer!
Are you aware that your wife was gonna vote against the Milwaukee Depth project?
I knew that she was leaning that way.
Why?
Were you conflicted by that?
The way that my wife votes has got nothing to do with me.
I support her unconditionally.
Is that because she demands it?
No, it's because I offer it.
And your wife's success-- does that...
Does it cause you any personal problems?
Okay.
I don't t to see her as much as I'd like.
But Patty becoming a senator is all that we've ever wanted.
We worked very hard to make that happen. "
We"?
We, that's right.
We.
My wife and I are in this together, side by side.
She is living her dream, and yeah, I've...
I've had to make some sacrifices, but that's what you do when you love somebody.
You sacrifice.
She'd do the same thing for me.
That's the way it is with us.
Sounds like the perfect partnership.
It's a marriage.
It's not a partnership.
Right.
Right.
Alan Crane's law office doesn't trust their employees.
They use a software in their computer network that records everything.
They even count keystrokes.
All right, so let's see what Mr.
Crane was doing between the hours of 3:00 and 9:30 p.m.
last night.
He logged on at 3:05, then no activity till 9:07 when he purchased a wine thermometer before logging off at 9:17.
Okay, so that's six hours we can't actually account for him.
Except we see him coming and going on the lobby cameras.
Unless he didn't exit through the lobby.
All right, I need to know if Mr.
Crane could have gotten to and from Black Rock Harbor in that time frame.
Let's see.
Based on average traffic flow for that time of day, that would put him in Black Rock Harbor in about two hours.
So that gives him four hours to take his boat out, kill his wife, get back to the office.
He'd have to catch nothing but green lights.
But he could do it.
Milwaukee Depth?
You brought me in here to talk about oil?
You are aware that she was gonna vote to block the drilling.
What relevance is that to your investigation?
Trying to find your daughter.
You're not going to find her under your desk.
Why don't you get out there and do something?
And how is your investigation going, Mr.
Mills?
Turned up any leads?
You have to let me do my job, okay?
It's not a pissing contest.
I am just trying to find her and bring her back alive, you understand?
What do you need from me?
Tell me about your son-in-law.
Alan?
He...
He's fine. "
Fine"?
That's the extent of your opinion of the man that married your daughter?
Patty always viewed marriage as some kind of an affront to women's lib.
I told her, it's that much harder for a single woman to win a Senate seat.
Family values and all that crap.
She finally came around, and Alan was in the right place at the right time.
She got married to get elected?
Look, that's me talking.
She loves Alan for whatever reason.
Was he ever violent with her?
Alan's a slippery guy, but I don't see him doing anything like this.
Frankly, he doesn't have the stones.
Oh, honey, you have to bring it up.
I don't know.
Maybe there's a reason that he hasn't asked me.
Look at me.
You're brilliant, and you're talented.
And I love you.
Okay?
Come here.
And he's in a good mood, so come on.
I think our waitress clocked out.
Well, listen, gentlemen, I just need to use the ladies' room.
Just tell him what you want to.
Oh, I hate this restaurant and everybody in it.
Well, hey, the beer's cold.
Hard to screw that up.
Patty says that you guys are, uh, looking for a new VP of Acquisitions.
I'm drinking, Alan.
I don't want to talk business.
Okay, but when you are ready to talk, I have some interesting ideas that I want to run by you.
What?
Are you throwing your hat in the ring?
Yes, sir, I am.
Hayden, I can make you a lot of money.
Alan, you couldn't run a Dairy Queen.
Look, I-I like you, son, but, uh, I'm not your daddy, and I don't owe you anything.
You hear me?
I hear you.
Now, Patty's got this election coming up.
I think we're all best served if you, uh, just stand down a while, huh?
Support Patty.
Yeah, yeah, you-you...
You're right.
There she is.
To the future senator from New York.
Oh.
Hear, hear.
Oh, thank you.
Cheers.
And how did he handle that?
He made his play.
Can't fault him for that But he fell in line.
You smacked him down pretty hard.
There must have been some resentment.
Sure, but he never showed it to me.
Yeah, 'cause he's probably afraid of you, but that resentment would have to be focused somewhere.
You think he did something to Patty as payback?
It's possible.
Taking the boat out?
Just trying to keep busy and let you do your job.
Do you have an update for me?
No, unfortunately not.
I wish I did.
Well, that's disappointing.
Yeah.
Why is it whenever I'm on one of these things I feel like I should be scrubbing the deck?
Ask your shrink.
It sounds like a self-esteem issue.
He's just gonna tell me it's a product of my working class background.
You grew up in Camden, New Jersey, right?
I sure did.
So you get it.
Guys like us...
we're the same breed.
Although I'm sure when you married Patricia, you thought Hayden would take you into the fold.
My father-in-law and I are very close.
Close, yeah, but y're never gonna be one of them.
To him, you're always gonna be a low-rent scrub from Jersey.
But you clean up nice, so he lets you hang around so you can be his daughter's handbag.
You know what?
You are way out of line.
One second.
Yeah.
Hey, Jack, Bridgeport PD just found a body matching Patricia's description, washed up on the beach at Seaside Park.
I'm heading to the morgue now.
I'll see you there.
Did you kill your wife, Mr.
Crane?
Get off my boat, and if you come near me again without my lawyer present, I will file a harassment complaint.
You do that.
Don't plan on any long trips.
Victim has a deep puncture wound in her back, but her lungs were filled with water.
Cause of death was drowning.
And judging from how well-preserved her body is, I have to assume she was stuck in some type of container.
Oh.
Like an ice chest?
Bad work.
Any physical evidence?
Sorry.
The water washed her clean.
Jack, they're here.
Good.
Um, do me a favor and cover up her body, would you?
Absolutely.
Is it her?
I'm gonna need one of you to make a positive ID.
I'll do it.
This way, Mr.
Mills.
You know, your wife was still alive when she washoved into that ice chest.
It's her.
Are you sure?
Yes, I'm sure.
It's Patty.
Son of a bitch!
Don't you want to see your wife?
I lied to you.
Mr.
Mills?
I knew Patty was going to vote to block Milwaukee Depth.
I just put myself in Warrick's pocket.
That's the game, Patty.
No, it's bribery.
I'm voting to block the Milwaukee Depth project.
Listen to me.
You're a junior senator.
You got to go along to get along for a while, get established.
Then you can start pushing your own agenda.
Warrick gave the committee bogus test results.
The pipes are not safe.
That's Warrick's problem, but you need to vote the way you said you would.
I never promised anything.
Look at this.
I've seen it.
You're in bed with Warrick.
You made a promise when you took his money.
Oh, my God.
My entire life you tell me never to sell out.
And you just put me on the auction block?
It's one vote, Patty.
Don't make it bigger than it is.
Now, you got to get your head on straight and do the right thing here.
That's exactly what I intend to do.
Patricia, you've got to trust me on this.
I always knew that you stepped on people to get your own way, but I never thought it would be me.
Look, sweetheart.
Just go.
Look...
Get out of my office!
Go!
That was the last time we spoke.
What was your involvement with the deal?
Warrick promised my company the contract to run production platforms if I could deliver Patty's vote.
I assumed she was going to vote for it anyway.
It was a no-brainer.
I always hated that Patty was going to grow up.
You get older, you, you get cold and beat-up.
I was waiting for Patty to get that way, just dreading the hell out of it, but she never did.
She was always my little girl.
I'm very sorry for your loss, Mr.
Mills.
Oh, come on, Alex.
You can't be serious about this!
Patricia Mills is now a homicide, and as such, we're handing her case off to Violent Crimes.
Look, I know this case better than anybody else.
It makes no sense to pull us out.
Well, that's the way it is.
This isn't protocol.
This is politics.
Oh, you bet your ass it is.
I'm telling you Alan Crane murdered his wife.
Can you prove that?
Do you have anything we can charge him with?
Because that pinprick hole you punched through his alibi is not going to get it done.
Alex, I can nail this guy.
I just need a little more time.
Jack.
?????????
And I'm above you.
So that's the call.
Now prepare your report and have it on my desk by Thursday.
Three days after the discovery of Patricia Mills' body, Alan Crane has not commented on whether or not he will push to fill the senate seat, left empty by the death of his wife, saying only that he's grieving a terrible loss, and will address the issue when the time is right.
Senator Mills will be laid to rest late this afternoon in a private ceremony for family...
Jack, you got a second?
Yeah, sure.
I was combing through the witness statements gathered by Capitol Police regarding Patricia Mills, and...
Just stop.
Just stop, okay?
It's somebody else's headache now.
You sure you're not interested?
A little.
The ma�tre d' at Capital Grill remembers seeing Alan Crane having a martini with Leslie Warrick.
Can we verify that?
I can put Alan there.
He paid with his credit card.
The manager faxed the receipt over to me.
Now in terms of Warrick, we're going to have to go with the witness statement.
This was four days before Patricia was killed.
I just thought I'd bring it to your attention.
Almighty God, we come before you, the supreme judge, and to Jesus, and to all the spirits of the righteous made perfect.
Almighty and ever-living God, in you we place our trust and hope.
In you, the dead whose bodies were temples of the spirit, find everlasting peace.
As we take leave of our sister, give our hearts peace...
What are you doing here?
Just paying my respects.
Because God has chosen to call our sister, Patricia, from this life to Himself, we commit her body to the earth.
For we are dust, and onto dust we shall return.
What did he offer you?
Stocks?
Cash?
A seat on the board?
What did who offer me?
Leslie Warrick.
Keep it up, Agent Malone.
You always wanted to be a player.
And when you heard that Patricia was going to change her vote, and that she had a falling out with her father, you made your move.
I can guarantee you Patty's vote on Milwaukee Depth.
Hayden said she's left the reservation.
I can bring her back.
If her father can't, how do you think you can?
I'll handle it.
Look, are you interested or not?
If you shake my hand, you make me a promise.
Don't...
break your promise, Alan.
But Patricia wouldn't roll.
I can't even have a conversation without considering how it will reflect on to you.
Just stop it, Alan.
I mean, this has worked out pretty damn well for you.
You throw my family's name around town like it's your own.
Look, I need this, Patty.
You owe me!
I'm not going to do it.
I'm not going to cast a senatorial vote to preserve your brittle little ego.
I mean, if you and my father want to vote so bad, then maybe you should become a senator.
Why can't you just do this one thing for me?
One thing!
That's all I'm asking!
Who the hell do you think you are?
You're not so righteous.
You just like to seem that way.
That was a real problem for you.
When you realized that you couldn't deliver the vote that you promised.
You asked Patricia out to the boat.
It was easy to get her out there.
As you said...
it was her sanctuary.
You even staged Fazel Masari's suicide just to get us off the track.
...and give her peace.
May her soul and all the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
Was it worth it?
You have no idea what you're talking about.
The fact that you're even speaking to me while your wife is being lowered into the ground tells me everything that I need to know.
If you could prove any of this, you wouldn't be here.
You can't touch me.
You're right.
I can't.
I'm very sorry.
