Programma Televisivo: Without a Trace - 4x14

Here's you shirt.
Leave the rest.
I don't want you to be late.
Thanks for breakfast, Mom.
Best eggs you ever made.
How do chicken cutlets sound for dinner?
Great, Ma.
You know, I wish you'd me more careful.
Those oil stains never come out.
Hazard of the job.
I swear.
You'd think I'd learn.
Yeah, you'd think.
It's just nice to see you in such a good mood.
Is there anything you want to tell me?
How about we talk about it over dinner?
Love you.
Love you, too.
Andrew Reynolds?
Yep.
You need to come with us.
Let me guess.
Sexual assault.
Say it was a white male, six foot, 200 pounds.
About right.
This is ridiculous!
Stop harassing my son.
He didn't do anything.
Mom, it's okay.
How can he make a fresh start when none of you will give him a chance?
Number two, step forward.
Turn to the right.
Turn to the left.
Step back.
Number three, step forward.
Are those stripes?
Yes.
So what?
They look nice.
Thank you.
So what's going on?
Andrew Reynolds, 29.
He was brought in for a rape lineup two days ago.
The victim didn't ID him, so he was released.
That's the last time anyone ever saw him.
So we'll make him a suspect.
He has a misdemeanor charge for criminal mischief in New York, and a rape conviction in Japan.
He was stationed there as a Marine.
Dishonorably discharged and served five years in prison over there.
When was this?
Four months ago.
The mom says the police keep harassing him.
Well, he's not on parole.
Have we considered the possibility he just got fed up and ran?
I did, until I found this in his room.
Was there an envelope?
Postmark?
Nope.
He can't spell.
Without a trace 4x14- Odds or evens By Cookie & Lucile76 www.
forom.
com The police said the girl didn't even identify Andy in the lineup.
Has he received any threats before?
Not that I know about.
How about any contact with the family of the woman in Japan?
He never mentioned it.
You think they wrote this note?
We're not sure.
What's his social life like?
He goes to work and he comes home.
Doesn't date?
No.
Miss Reynolds, you have to stop protecting him.
I'm sorry?
Your son is up to something and the sooner you tell us, the sooner we're going to be able to find him.
My son made a mistake.
Why can't any of you let him live it down?
What else can you tell us about the rape?
It's not something we talk about.
How has he been acting lately?
Miss Reynolds?
He seemed pretty depressed last week.
Andy?
You okay?
Yeah.
Just, uh, looking at some old pictures.
I haven't taken that out since you came home.
You remember this?
The Oakwood Derby Championship.
I was so proud of you.
I came in third.
But you built your car yourself.
You could tell the other boys' fathers made theirs.
Andy?
What's wrong?
You must be so disappointed in me.
Everything you did, and I just...
I just let you down, and I'm sorry.
Andy.
Do you have any idea what made him so upset that night?
No.
Is it possible that Andy hurt himself?
No.
He's-He's...
He's been in a much better mood ever since he visited a friend of his upstate.
When was that?
He was gone for three days.
He got back the day before he went missing.
Do you know this friend?
His name is Charles...
Murray.
I- I made Andy leave his information in case there was an emergency.
Can you think of anything else that could account for his change in mood?
He promised he'd tell me when he got home.
Preliminary forensics on the note.
No prints.
Where are we on the victim's family from the rape lineup?
Two brothers and the dad- everybody alibi'd out.
You know, this is supposed to be "you're" apostrophe R-E.
Oh, Marty gets a gold star.
Hey, it might speak to a person with English as a second language.
Okay, I admit it.
I wrote the note.
I'm saying that the letter could have been sent by someone related to the rape in Japan.
Listen, Reynolds only served five years.
If I was that woman's family, I wouldn't be happy.
What do we know about her?
Not much.
Her name wasn't disclosed, but we know that the crime took place at a bar named "Nagatas. "
I'll call the Tokyo legate and have them dig into it.
Okay.
Fitzgerald.
Listen, Sam, let me show you something.
This is Reynolds' daybook, and I have this entry for a pickup from two days ago.
Maybe it's an order number for whatever he was picking up?
All right, thanks.
Guys, that was Andy's friend, Charles Murray.
He said that Andy asked him to lie if his mom called.
He never went to visit.
So where was he those three days?
Andy never told him.
So, how long has Reynolds worked here?
Three months.
So you know about the rape conviction?
Yeah, I was stationed in Seoul at the time.
It was big news.
When I read that he was from New York, like me, I took an interest.
A SEAL marine quartile.
HMLA 45- that's a Cobra squadron.
How did he end up working for you?
He brought his mom's car in for an oil change, and I recognized him from his picture in the paper.
Got to talking.
He was having a hard time finding work.
So you offered him a job?
That's very generous of you.
I'm not condoning what he did, all right?
But he turned himself in, served his time.
Besides, we try to take care of our own.
I guess that wasn't such a good idea.
What do you mean?
It seemed everything was working out okay until a couple of days ago.
What are you doing?
Uh, just-just closing out.
Cut the crap!
What is this?
I was gonna pay it back.
What, like you think I wouldn't find out?
Like I don't keep books here?
I'm sorry, man.
I needed the money.
Andy, what kind of trouble are you in?
Am I fired?
No, you owe me an explanation.
Have you gambling again?
Just call me if you need me to cover till you find somebody else, okay?
How much do you need?
What's there, a thousand.
Look, consider it an advance on your pay, all right?
And next time, tell me when you got a problem.
Go on, take it.
Thanks.
He said he needed a few days to straighten things out, but he was supposed to be back day before yesterday; he never showed.
Okay, so, he tries to steal a grand from you.
You-You catch him, but you let him keep the money anyway.
That's, uh, nice.
I- I considered Andy a friend.
So Reynolds has a big gambling problem?
Got it overseas.
A lot of guys do, sitting around, nothing to do.
He said that he kicked it, but I don't know.
What's with Jack's tie?
I tried asking.
It didn't go well.
What didn't go well?
Some records that we were looking for.
No.
She was asking about the stripes.
Elena!
It's the truth.
It was a gift.
No, it's, it's very nice.
It looks good.
See, I told you.
Who is she?
I'll tell her that you liked the tie.
Where are we on the gambling?
Okay, nothing since he got out of jail, but these are his bank records from when he was at Camp Forrester.
Kept the balance next to zero.
Yeah.
His base pay was $1,600.
Maybe he spent it all gambling.
Guys, Andy was in Japan last week.
I got his name here on departing and returning flight manifests.
I doubt he was there sightseeing.
That's a long way to go for just three days.
Maybe he had to repay his gambling debt over there.
No.
He could just as easily wire the money.
Elena, you know that number you found in Andy's appointment book?
I think the pickup date is when he was in Japan.
Do you have it there?
That number is for a company called Hiroki Dubs in Tokyo.
Reynolds apparently paid the company to archive some tape that he made.
They're supposed to be e-mailing it to me right now, so...
Timecode is from four days ago.
Begin recording.
How should I start?
Just say your name.
Komiko Osakawa.
Are you the girl that was raped outside Nagatas Bar, September 18, 2000?
Yes.
Andrew Reynolds is not the man who raped me.
Isn't that enough?
That's Reynolds.
Andrew Reynolds is innocent.
If I leave now, I can be in Japan by tomorrow.
You're going to Tokyo?
Yeah, if her family is involved, this girl might know where Reynolds is.
Hey, Jack get off okay?
Yeah.
Flight lands in, uh, nine hours.
How are we with the tape?
Well, we determined that the woman on the tape is the real victim, Komiko Osakawa.
Okay, how's her family make out as suspects?
Her father, Hitoshi Osakawa, is a bigwig in offshore commodities.
Mom has a pretty large extended family, but, uh, none of them have been in the States, so...
Maybe they got someone else to do their dirty work.
I don't know.
You know, a conservative culture like Japan, Reynolds gets her to confess that he's not the rapist, the family could lose face.
So what's all this?
Tokyo PD.
I am just hoping that something points to other suspects in this rape.
You really think Reynolds is innocent?
There's no DNA evidence.
And when Komiko was first presented with his photo amongst the other Marines, she didn't even ID him.
So why would he confess?
Man, you got me.
Anyway, look, I gotta head downstairs and get another translation on this file.
Major Malloy, hi.
I'm Special Agent Spade.
This is Special Agent Delgado.
How was your flight from DC?
Fine, thanks.
Has there been any progress locating Corporal Reynolds?
No, not yet.
Um, you were his officer in charge at Camp Forrester, correct?
You said on the phone his disappearance might be related to the rape.
We're actually investigating the possibility that he might be innocent.
I was just as surprised as anyone when he turned himself in.
Why is that?
After the accusation, I sat in when NCIS interviewed him.
PFC Jenkins and Rodriguez put you at Nagatas the night of the rape.
Is this true, Corporal Reynolds?
Yes, sir.
What were you doing there?
They tape the Yankee games for us, sir.
They show them there at night.
A lot of us New York fellas go there and watch them.
You drinking that night?
Yes, sir.
You, uh, looking to get some?
No, sir.
Just there to watch the games, sir.
Are you nervous, Corporal?
A little, sir.
Why?
Did you rape that girl?
No, sir.
You protecting the person who did?
No, sir!
Then you got nothing to be nervous about.
So, who won?
Excuse me, sir?
The night that girl was forced to have intercourse against her will, who won the game?
The Yankees, sir.
Jeter went two for four with a home run, Pettite gave up one, Rivera had the save.
As far as I knew, Reynolds was cleared.
Then four days later he turned himself in.
Let me ask you something.
Do you think it's possible that he admitted to the rape to protect someone else?
I don't know.
Can you think of any other reason why he would have confessed?
No, but there was something else weird that happened.
A few days before, I saw him get in a fight with another Marine.
Did you ask him about it?
He said the guy owed him money for some sundries he picked up in town.
But he could have been lying.
Do you remember who this Marine was?
It was five years ago.
Hey, Danny.
Hey.
I think I found the guy Reynolds got in a fight with.
Corey Williams They both got written up and they spent a day in the brig.
He's one of the suspects in the Tokyo PD file.
Yeah?
Well, since he's gotten out of the corps, he's been charged with domestic abuse and assault, and his wife filed a restraining order.
Pattern of violence against women.
This could be our guy.
Doug Jack.
Right over here.
How's the place they're putting you up?
Oh, it's good for a shower and a shave.
I don't think I'd say much more of it than that.
Listen, thanks for your help.
No problem.
Things have gotten pretty interesting since Hitoshi Osakawa's name came up.
That's the girl's father, right?
Yeah.
He's got ties to a group called Ichigumi.
It's a Yakuza syndicate in Tokyo.
They're into everything from illegal gambling to extortion, murder...
So how does Reynolds get out of prison alive after...
after raping the daughter of a mobster?
Osakawa's got a reputation for being patient.
Maybe he's been waiting.
Any idea where he is?
Yeah.
You were a suspect in the rape case, right, Mr.
Williams?
Half the base was.
You've been really busy since you got out.
Um, domestic abuse, assault...
I served my time.
Yeah, and I'm sure you don't want to serve anymore.
So if Reynolds is running around trying to prove he was innocent, that would mean that the person who actually committed the rape might get caught, right?
So you think that I raped that girl and did something to Andy?
Well, you and Reynolds got into a fight before he turned himself in.
What was that about?
He lent me some money about a month before.
He was desperate to get it back, with interest.
Why?
He was gambling.
I didn't realize how deep he was into it until a couple of days later when I saw him at Nagatas.
Sorry, man.
I'm gonna hit the hay.
I know I messed up, all right?
I can have some of the 24 grand by the end of the week...
I beg...
slit...
your throat.
But Mr.
Osakawa has a way you pay him back.
I'll do whatever you want me to do, man.
Just don't hurt me.
You're here the night young lady was raped?
Yeah, what's that got to do with anything?!
Tomorrow you turn yourself in.
Say you the one who raped her.
I can't do that, man.
You know what'll hap...
You have a family in America.
You stick to story.
You tell anyone ever of your innocence, you and your mother dead.
Why did Osakawa want an innocent man in jail for this rape?
I don't know.
And Andy didn't care.
He just knew if he didn't do it, they were gonna kill him.
All right.
Can I go now?
When we find out that you didn't rape that girl, or do something to Andy, you might.
There he is.
Osakawa-san.
Ask him where Andrew Reynolds is.
He says he didn't even know Reynolds was in the country.
That's interesting because Komiko knew he was here.
Andrew Reynolds is not the man who raped me.
Reynolds shot it when he was here.
He says if he knew Reynolds came into his house to make the tape, it'd be obvious he'd killed him, because he'd still have Reynolds' blood smeared over his hands and lips.
If he wants me to believe him, he has to take me to meet his daughter.
He says there's no way.
Your daughter sat in court and accused an innocent man of rape.
Now I'm sure in this country there are laws against perjury.
He wants us to go for a ride.
Miss Osakawa, I'm Special Agent Jack Malone from the FBI.
Thank you.
My father said you are asking questions about Andrew Reynolds.
That he was missing.
Yes, we think it has something to do with the videotape that he had you make.
Have you had any communication with him since?
Am I in trouble?
Was your father aware that Reynolds was here?
No, I tried to warn Andrew about the danger he was getting himself into, but he wouldn't listen.
I just need you to say that it wasn't me that raped you.
I can't help you.
You need to go.
But you know it wasn't me.
Why can't you just say it?
You wouldn't understand.
Just tell me.
Why was it so important for me to go to jail for what happened to you?
After...
after I was raped, my mother tried to kill herself.
My father decided that sending the wrong man to prison was better than sending no one.
He didn't care that the real rapist got off?
He had to give my mother peace and to protect our family reputation by making sure we had the justice.
What about you?
What about your justice?
It doesn't matter.
If my father found out you...
I'm not leaving without the tape.
What's so important?
You already been to prison.
The difficult part is over.
A week ago I found out I have a son.
And his mother won't let me see him because of what she thinks I did to you.
How old is he?
He's five.
You would risk your life for a chance to see a son you don't even know?
I made a lot of mistakes in my life, but I'm not about to add having a son who doesn't know who I am to that list.
Okay.
Okay.
I'm recording.
Did he volunteer any other information about his son?
His name, who the mother was, anything?
No.
Miss Osakawa, I know this is extremely difficult for you, but could you give me a detailed description of the man who raped you?
I gave the police a description.
I'm sorry.
That's okay.
That's okay.
I was drinking.
I shouldn't have been there.
I brought the shame to my entire family.
Miss Osakawa, what happened to you is not your fault.
Girl claims she can't remember anything new about her attacker.
All right.
I'm going to keep sifting through Tokyo PD's file.
Where are we on Osakawa's associates?
Well, I checked the list by e-mail.
None of them are in the US, Jack.
Nice work.
So what about the kid?
It's possible that Reynolds went missing trying to see his son.
Yeah, if the kid's five years old, it means he was conceived in Japan.
His mother could have been a local.
I don't know.
Reynolds went right back to the US after he got the tape.
My guess is mom and the kid are stateside.
Could have been another Marine.
There were 1,500 of them stationed at Camp Forrester when Reynolds was there.
I'm guessing, what?
200-300 of them were women?
Well, if she's in the armed forces she's got to record a pregnancy.
You had you son while you were stationed at Camp Forrester, correct?
Yes.
Well, your son's birth certificate lists the father as a Jeremy Holt.
My boyfriend at the time.
We talked to him, and he was nowhere near Japan when your son was conceived.
Why'd you lie?
Who Case's father is is my own business.
Unless, of course, the father was a subordinate, then it's grounds for dishonorable discharge.
You didn't tell anyone that Andrew Reynolds was the father?
You want to add impeding a federal investigation to the list?
We'd been seeing each other six months when I got pregnant.
We were talking about leaving the military so we didn't have to keep things private.
Then Andy turned himself in for the rape.
Wait.
Andy claimed he didn't know about Case until recently.
I loved him.
I felt so betrayed and disgusted.
So I wrote him a letter in prison telling him I miscarried.
I didn't ever want to see him again.
How did Andy find out about Case?
I sent him some things a few weeks ago.
I didn't expect him to show up at my door.
Andy.
Hey.
What are you doing here?
I just wanted to stop by and say thank you for returning this.
I know how much it meant to you.
Not too many people have reached out to me since I got out, you know?
I wasn't reaching out.
That's why I put it in the mail.
Heard you got married a couple years ago, Navy guy.
Yeah.
Well, try not to hold that against him.
Look, I-I have something on the stove.
Susan, I'm sorry for what I did to you.
You need to go.
Wait, wait, wait.
Mom, put in our movie.
Okay.
Go.
You have a son?
Yes.
How old is he?
Five.
You told me you miscarried.
And you raped a girl.
I did what I had to do.
And I don't have the right to know that I'm a father?
Case has a father.
A good one who loves and cares about him.
Now get out of here and don't ever come back.
That's the last I talked to him.
Well, we know that's not true.
He called your house from JFK after his flight landed the day before he went missing.
Well, I didn't speak with him.
Well, somebody did.
Did you tell your husband that Andy came to the house?
Of course.
He knows who Case's father is.
Okay, so we need to know if this is your husband's handwriting.
Oh, my God.
Your wife identified your handwriting.
So?
I admit I wrote it.
You need to learn how to spell.
It's just a threat.
Doesn't mean I went through with it.
When did you send it to Reynolds?
As soon as Susan told me he came by the house.
You blame me for wanting to keep a convicted rapist away from my family?
What happened when he called you from the airport?
He said he had proof that he didn't rape the girl.
He wanted to show it to Susan.
Told him to come by when I knew that she and Case would be out of the house.
Where's Susan?
She's not here.
You said she'd be home.
All right, what's going on here, man?
You can't take a hint, so I thought this might help.
You want me to go, man, that's fine, but Susan needs to see this.
What's that, your proof?
Look at it yourself if you want.
I don't give a rat's ass what you did or didn't do to some geisha girl.
I don't want you around here, understand?
You going to kill me?
If I ever see you again, yeah.
And that's it?
You threatened him at gunpoint and then let him go?
You don't believe me, call the Port Chester police.
What do they have to do with it?
Desk sergeant called me later that night.
They picked up Reynolds on a drunk-and-disorderly.
The guy said Reynolds was ranting about me trying to kill him.
How come there's not a police report on Reynolds?
Ask the guy I talked to.
I think his name was a...
Officer Sheffield.
Officer Sheffield have anything else to say?
Yeah, he, uh...
he asked me if I'd seen the tape.
I told him I didn't bother.
As far as I was concerned, the guy was guilty.
Okay, thanks.
Yeah.
All right, get this.
There's no Officer Sheffield, and the call to Malloy's husband didn't come from the Port Chester Police.
It traces back to Nelson's Lube Shop.
So someone from Nelson's wanted to find out about that tape.
Because they're involved in the rape?
Komiko said a Marine raped her, right?
Well, Nelson served at the same time as Reynolds.
How was Nelson supposed to rape Komiko if he's stationed in Seoul?
Because he was on leave in Tokyo.
Komiko, I want you to take a look at something.
We think that this may be the man who raped you.
I don't know.
Okay, I understand that this is very unpleasant.
Please try to remember.
Please.
Are you sure?
Hey, any news about Andy?
Shut up.
We know you raped that girl in Japan.
Wait a minute.
What did you do to Andy?
I didn't do anything to Andy.
Credit card receipts put you at Nagatas the night of the rape, Nelson.
That doesn't mean I did it.
No, but the rape victim identifying you as the man who did it does.
Wait a minute.
She ID'd Andy five years ago.
Now she thinks it's me?
She sounds pretty confused.
She's not confused.
You knew Andy had that tape.
That's ridiculous.
We're going downtown.
Let's go.
Come on.
I don't know what you're talking about.
You don't?
See, that's interesting because your prints are all over the drum.
Nelson, the safest place for you to be is an American prison, don't you get that?
Listen, if youdon't confess you'll be extradited to Japan to stand trial for Komiko's rape.
And I'm sure the father's going to take care of you real well.
It's your choice.
Andy showed up right after closing, wanting to talk.
I made him tell me everything.
I'm sorry to lay all this on you, man, I just didn't know where else to go.
What are you going to do?
Going to go to the cops.
She can't keep my son from me.
What about the tape?
I was just going to show my mom and Susan, but now I think I'm gonna show the cops, too.
That girl deserves justice.
Wait a minute.
You crazy?
You said the Yakuza threatened you and your mom if you told anybody.
Then I'll ask the cops to protect us.
If they can't do it, I will.
Look, I-I don't think that you should do that.
You don't need to protect me, okay?
I'm not.
What are you talking about?
I didn't read about the rape in the papers, Andy.
I was in Tokyo.
And you're telling me this now?
Yeah, I thought that you might remember seeing me that night at Nagatas, and...
What were you doing there?
Wait...
are you telling me it was you?
I was drunk.
She was drunker.
It got out of hand.
That doesn't make it right!
I know, okay, and I'm sorry for what happened to you, and I'm trying to make up for it.
Now, we're friends, remember, huh?
I need that tape, Andy.
I'm getting the hell out of here.
Look, I need the tape.
Andy, I need that tape.
Why couldn't he have just listened?
Write it down.
If he had just let it go, everything would have been fine.
What about the girl you raped?
How was everything supposed to be fine with her?
Miss Reynolds?
I have bad news.
Oh, my God.
I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
How did he...
What happened?
Your son didn't rape a girl in Japan.
He wanted to clear his name, and the man who was really responsible...
the man killed him.
What?
That doesn't make sense.
Why wouldn't Andy tell me?
I think he was going to do that the night he disappeared.
I can't believe this is happening.
My sweet boy.
I know this is very upsetting.
There's one more thing.
What else could there be?
You have a grandson.
His name is Case.
Andy didn't know about it until last week.
When can I see him?
I'll contact the mother, and I'll arrange it as soon as possible, I will.
Okay, okay.
Andy wanted Case to know his father.
You should be proud.
I am.
I always was.
Welcome back.
Thanks.
Got you a little something.
What's this?
Well, it's not exactly original, but it's all they had in the airport.
One for everybody?
Ladies only.
What about the guys?
Did you, um...
did you break the news to the mother?
I did.
Horrible.
Does it get any easier?
Unfortunately, yes.
