[Scenes from 1X04:BETWEEN THE CRACKS] [INT. FBI - JACK'S OFFICE - DAY] CHET COLLINS: Look, Jack, I hate to ask this, but I need a favor. JACK: Sure. I'll make some calls. CUT TO: [INT. FBI - MISSING PERSONS UNIT] VIVIAN: (to MARTIN) Chet Collins is a contractor from rockaway who liked nothing more than to take his kids camping. On one of those trips his son Sean disappeared in the middle of the night from his tent and that was five years ago. CUT TO: [INT. FBI - JACK'S OFFICE - DAY] CHET COLLINS: You told me you would never give up till we found him. JACK: It's like all the other times, I just don't want you to go through it again. CUT TO: [INT. FBI - MISSING PERSONS UNIT] VIVIAN: (to JACK) I don't think you should give up. JACK: (to VIVIAN) Sometimes I wish I could. CUT TO: [INT. FBI - CONFERENCE ROOM] CHET COLLINS: I'm scared that I might not be able to hang on. JACK: You can hang on to me. FADE TO BLACK. SCENE #01: [INT. CATSKILLS STATE PARK - NIGHT] LEGEND: CATSKILLS STATE PARK JULY 03, 1996 (In the campgrounds, two tents are set up with a campfire in between them.) CHET COLLINS: (o.s.) Here we go, Sean; right next to daddy. (Inside the tent, CHET COLLINS is tucking his son in bed. His son is laughing.) JACK: (v.o.) A July weekend in the Catskills. Sean was only two, but Chet wanted to start him early. He loved the mountains. CHET COLLINS: Stay put, mister. I'm going to go see what mom and Kelly are doing, okay? And then I'm going to get ... (CHET COLLINS tickles his son's stomach. They laugh.) CHET COLLINS: Okay? (CHET gives his son a kiss.) CHET COLLINS: I'll be right back, okay? JACK: (v.o.) His wife, Helen, was in another tent with their daughter Kelly. CHET COLLINS: Okay, I'm coming back. All right. SEAN: Okay. (CHET backs out of the small tent.) CHET COLLINS: Don't you go anywhere. Okay? SEAN: Okay. (He zips up the tent with his son inside.) JACK: (v.o.) Just after 9:00 Chet walked over to see them twelve yards away, just to say good night. (CHET walks past the fire toward the other tent. The camera holds on the shadow of Sean inside the tent. The shadow vanishes.) JACK: (v.o.) When he got back to the tent, the boy was gone ... vanished. CUT TO: SCENE #02: [INT. HALLWAY /CHET COLLINS' APARTMENT -- DAY] (JACK and DANNY walk down the hallway toward CHET COLLINS' apartment.) DANNY: Six years, and you never caught a break. JACK: No, not even close. (JACK turns the corner and enters the apartment. DANNY is close behind him.) DANNY: When was the last time you talked to Chet? JACK: Uh, couple of months ago. VIVIAN: Super hadn't seen Chet in over a week. Apparently he missed visitation with his daughter. He wife couldn't reach him; she got nervous and so she called it in. (JACK looks around the apartment. SAMANTHA is looking at papers on the table. JACK is surprised by the size of the apartment.) JACK: Chet told me he'd moved to a smaller place, but... (SAMANTHA walks up to JACK.) SAMANTHA: Well, there's no sign of forced entry. Nothing obvious missing other than his car JACK: You check his work? SAMANTHA: Yeah, he, uh... was subcontracting with a builder out in Huntington. They say he was getting behind, missing appointments. They laid him off. That was last week. JACK: (nods) Right. (DANNY calls to JACK from the next room.) DANNY: Jack, I think you should come take a look at this. (Up on the wall is an intricate pattern of articles and push pins connected by string on a large wall map. Tacked on the wall under the map are pictures of SEAN COLLINS.) (JACK notices a battered photograph lying on the table of CHET carrying his son. He picks up the photo.) JACK: This is the photo he always carried with him. DANNY: You were pretty close with this guy, huh? JACK: What? DANNY: Nothing. (DANNY walks away leaving JACK alone in the room with his thoughts.) (As soon as DANNY leaves, JACK raises his head and starts to absorb the room's contents.) (Dissolve to: The large wall map.) (Dissolve to: CHET standing in the middle of the room much like how JACK is.) (Dissolve to: Pictures of SEAN COLLINS.) (Dissolve back to: JACK looking around the room.) (Dissolve back to CHET standing in front of the large wall map and staring at pictures of his son, SEAN.) (Dissolve from CHET to JACK standing in front of the large wall map and staring at pictures of SEAN. This is really affecting JACK.) (Cut to a picture of SEAN.) (Cut back to: JACK standing and staring at the photograph, tears spilling from his eyes.) CUT TO: (Camera close up of the photograph of CHET COLLINS carrying his son, SEAN, both of them are smiling.) HARD CUT TO END OF TEASER ROLL TITLE CREDITS (COMMERCIAL SET) FADE IN. [EXT. NEW YORK CITY (STOCK) -- DAY] SCENE #03: [INT. FBI - MISSING PERSONS UNIT -- DAY] (JACK heads the briefing before handing out assignments.) DANNY: Okay, Mr. Collins has got financial troubles-- big ones. He's about 25 grand in the hole. And in the last few months, they canceled his credit cards, cable and cell phone. SAMANTHA: We also found pawnshop receipts in his apartment. Television, stereo ... he was dumping for cash. DANNY: Three months ago he deposited $15,000 in checking, but he didn't try to pay down any of his debt. He flew right through it MARTIN: On what? DANNY: Checking activity doesn't account for the spending. There's a lot of ATM withdrawals; look at that. MARTIN: Yeah... or could be drugs. JACK: (immediately) It's not drugs. (This stops the team. MARTIN and DANNY look at JACK. DANNY throws SAMANTHA a look. SAMANTHA doesn't take her eyes off of JACK.) SAMANTHA: It's happened to better men than Chet, Jack. Men who've had it a lot easier. JACK: (staunchly) Not this man. Move on. (The team is silent.) (VIVIAN walks up to the group.) VIVIAN: Jack, I just spoke to ATF. Chet Collins bought a gun -- a nine millimeter at a sporting goods store in Hackensack eight days ago. (Everyone's thinking it. SAMANTHA says it.) SAMANTHA: Jack, listen to me. He's lost his job, he's deep in debt, he left his wedding ring and the picture. JACK: He didn't kill himself. If nothing else, he's a fighter. DANNY: Maybe he thinks he found something out about Sean and he's going to take a crack at this vigilante style. (JACK lowers his head and doesn't say anything.) VIVIAN: Not likely. Every time he gets a lead, he brings it to us, we run it down. JACK: Danny, I want you to follow the money. Samantha and Martin, go check out his work. Vivian, you and I will talk to his wife. CUT TO: WHITEBOARD TIMELINE: 6 DBD - FIRED FROM WORK SCENE #04: [EXT. CHET COLLINS' OLD JOB -- DAY] (MARTIN and SAMANTHA interview FRED, CHET COLLINS' ex-boss, who's arm is in a sling.) MARTIN: So, how'd it go down? FRED: The truth is, it's been building for weeks. We got a kitchen out in water mill, simple. My guys are telling me that Chet's screwing up -- not just minor code stuff, ungrounded electrical next to gas connections. It's a very serious fire hazard. So, I tell him to get on it. Chet says, "fine." A week later we're ready to call for inspection, close the wall up, nothing's been changed. I can't have that. (Quick flashback to: ) FRED: Chet, I made my decision. CHET COLLINS: No, man, don't. FRED: I'm sorry, Chet. You know I wanted this to work out. CHET COLLINS: Fred, don't do this to me. FRED: Chet, please, we go back ten years. I know how hard it is for you, but this isn't working out. CHET COLLINS: You don't understand, man. I got to keep working. You know, I need the money. FRED: I'm sorry. Look, I'll give you a week to give you some time. You can look around. Okay? Look, Chet, money ... (CHET turns around. This has really affected him. FRED puts a hand out to CHET. CHET grabs his tool chest and pushes FRED out of his way. FRED falls back, crashing to the ground in pain. CHET doesn't look back and leaves.) FRED: (v.o.) Dislocated it pretty good. (End of flashback. Resume to present.) FRED: Anybody but Chet, I'm suing. MARTIN: Had you known him to be violent in the past? FRED: No, not at all, which is why it's so weird the way he's been acting. MARTIN: How's that? FRED: On edge ... popping off without much provocation. A couple of run-ins with the other guys. SAMANTHA: Do you think drugs or alcohol had anything to do with it? FRED: Not that I've seen. SAMANTHA: Do you know why he needed the money? FRED: No. But he sounded pretty desperate. I just hope he didn't go and do something stupid. CUT TO: SCENE #05: [INT. COLLINS' RESIDENCE -- DAY] (JACK and VIVIAN question MRS. HELEN COLLINS, CHET'S ex-wife.) HELEN COLLINS: I feel so odd having you back here. JACK: Yeah, I wish it was under better circumstances. (They all sit down.) HELEN COLLINS: I'm so worried about Chet. VIVIAN: Mrs. Collins ... it would help if you could tell us about the last time you saw him. HELEN COLLINS: Uh, it was last weekend. Chet had taken Kelly to a dance concert in the city. (Quick flashback to: CHET and KELLY walk up the front walkway. CHET has an arm around KELLY'S shoulders.) HELEN COLLINS: (v.o.) They got back early, and ... KELLY: Thanks, dad, that was nice. I mean it. CHET COLLINS: Oh, I had a good time, too. (As they reach the front door, it opens and a man walks out. They come face to face with each other.) ALEX SANBORN: Oh, uh, excuse me. CHET COLLINS: Can I help you? ALEX SANBORN: No. I ... mean ... (HELEN rushes out to make the introductions.) HELEN COLLINS: Chet ... this is Alex Sanborn. (ALEX holds his hand out to CHET. CHET takes it and introduces himself.) CHET COLLINS: Chet Collins. ALEX SANBORN: Nice to meet you. (It's an awkward situation. ALEX turns around and nods at HELEN.) ALEX SANBORN: Good night, Helen. HELEN COLLINS: Good night. (ALEX walks down the front walkway to his car. He glances back at HELEN.) CHET COLLINS: (to KELLY) Hey ... why don't you go on inside. (HELEN kisses KELLY and KELLY walks into the house. She lingers in the doorway to listen.) HELEN COLLINS: I'll see you in a second. (CHET is livid. HELEN tries to explain.) HELEN COLLINS: I was going to tell you. CHET COLLINS: Yeah, you were going to tell me but I happened to bring Kelly home early and you didn't have to. HELEN COLLINS: I was trying to find a good time. CHET COLLINS: Don't patronize me, Helen. (She doesn't say anything.) Is it serious? HELEN COLLINS: (shakes her head) Chet ... CHET COLLINS: Oh ... Is it serious? HELEN COLLINS: As a matter of fact, it is. (CHET thinks about it.) CHET COLLINS: Okay ... okay, you're moving on. I'm happy for you. Just because I'm not willing to give up on our son ... ! HELEN COLLINS: (yells) How dare you say that to me! CHET COLLINS: (loudly) ... doesn't mean I can expect the same from you! HELEN COLLINS: (yells) He's my son, too! (KELLY walks away from the door.) CHET COLLINS: If you can't bother about it anymore! HELEN COLLINS: (screaming) Shut up! Shut up! Just shut up! (beat) (softly) I can't take this anymore. (She sighs.) HELEN COLLINS: Look, I'm sorry you had find out this way. But I can't go on like this and neither can Kelly. And if you're not ready, that's okay. I understand. It doesn't mean that I don't love Sean. (She puts a hand to her forehead and cries.) I think of him every single day, because I do and I always will. Can you understand that? Chet? (CHET thinks about it.) CHET COLLINS: (coldly) You go to hell. (CHET turns around and walks away. HELEN turns around and goes back into the house. She closes the door behind her.) HELEN COLLINS: (v.o.) With all we'd been through ... (End of flashback. Resume to present.) HELEN COLLINS: ... He'd never spoken to me that way before. VIVIAN: Do you think your husband would do anything to harm himself? HELEN COLLINS: That night there ... (swallows) ... there was a look in his eyes that, um ... I hadn't seen before. VIVIAN: What kind of a look? HELEN COLLINS: Just complete emptiness. (JACK puts a supportive hand over HELEN COLLINS' hand.) CUT TO: WHITEBOARD TIMELINE: 8 DBD - FIGHTS WITH WIFE SCENE #06: [EXT. SIDEWALK -- DAY] (JACK and VIVIAN walk on the sidewalk.) (JACK'S cell phone rights. JACK answers it.) JACK: Malone. INTERCUT WITH: [INT. FBI - MISSING PERSONS UNIT - DAY] MARTIN: Hey, it's Martin. So, I think we found out where Chet's money's been going. According to his phone records he's been contacting a private investigator for over two months, now. JACK: Who is it? MARTIN: Guy's name is Gary Fisk. Checked out his background, he's sounds a bit shady. So, Sam and I are going to run out there now. (MARTIN starts to head out of the office.) JACK: No, no, no, I'll go. What's the address? MARTIN: Uh, it's 4804 Harrison Boulevard in Queens. JACK: Okay, thanks. MARTIN: All right, good luck. (MARTIN hangs up and heads back into the office.) CUT TO: SCENE #07: [INT. GARY FISK'S OFFICE -- DAY] (JACK and VIVIAN question GARY FISK.) GARY FISK: Look, I felt for the guy at first. I mean, who wouldn't? JACK: So, when did Mr. Collins hire you? GARY FISK: About two months ago. He had a few tips to check out. Mostly it was general stuff. You know, police reports, newspapers. JACK: What did you charge? GARY FISK: My normal rate: $300 a day. That's for my services. Lower for my associate. JACK: And how did Mr. Collins pay you? GARY FISK: Well, I only take cash. And things were okay for a month or so. You know, he kept up pretty good. But then the money started coming in later and later. So, I extended myself at first. You know, like I said, I felt for him. But after a while ... well, he put me in a hole. JACK: So, then, you started withholding information. GARY FISK: Well, that usually works. You tell them you got something and they come up with the dough. But Collins just kept hassling me. I told him, "this ain't a charity," you know? (Quick flashback to: CHET COLLINS holds a gun on GARY FISK.) GARY FISK: (v.o.) ... and then three days ago, the guy goes Tarantino on me. CHET COLLINS: Give it all to me. All of it! GARY FISK: I'm telling you, it's nothing. CHET COLLINS: You said you had stuff. Where is it? (GARY FISK reaches into his drawer and puts a file on the desk.) GARY FISK: Look for yourself. It's all there. (CHET takes the file and leaves.) JACK: (v.o.) So, did you call the police? (End of flashback. Resume to present.) GARY FISK: No. I got confidential files and stuff. JACK: I'll bet. VIVIAN: Was there anything that you gave Chet that could lead him to believe that he'd be able to locate his son? GARY FISK: Look, the truth is, I don't really know what was in there. Just some clippings the kid found. I was just trying to get paid. JACK: If I find out you'd been leading him on, you're going to be sorry you ever saw me. GARY FISK: What are you talking about, "leading him on"? It's a six-year-old case; no leads. You even talk to guy like that, you're leading him on. (VIVIAN looks at JACK. They both turn to leave the office.) CUT TO: SCENE #08: [INT. HALLWAY OUTSIDE GARY FISK'S OFFICE - DAY] (CHET COLLINS appears in the hallway, the file folder tucked under his arm and gun in his other hand.) CUT TO: WHITEBOARD TIMELINE: 2DBD - THREATENS PRIVATE DETECTIVE FADE TO BLACK. (COMMERCIAL SET) FADE IN. SCENE #09: [INT. FBI - MISSING PERSONS UNIT -- DAY] (DANNY and SAMANTHA walk into the office. DANNY carries two file folder storage boxes and SAMANTHA pushes a cart filled with a couple of the boxes.) DANNY: Okay, here we go. (They put the boxes down on the table.) Sean Collins, six and a half years worth of dead ends. SAMANTHA: This is only half of it. MARTIN: And we're looking for what? DANNY: That's the fun part. We don't know. VIVIAN: Here's the theory. We reopen Sean's original case, try to find out where Chet was focusing. Then if we find out what the PI gave him, we can get a sense of where he might be headed. MARTIN: So we follow Chet right into the abyss. SAMANTHA: And what? We abandon all other theories? I mean, we know the guy was depressed. We know he was acting erratic. He's got a gun. VIVIAN: Jack doesn't think it was suicide. DANNY: Come on, Viv. Even his wife said he seemed hopeless. VIVIAN: (repeats) Jack doesn't think it's suicide. MARTIN: Okay, but if we know that Chet chose to chase down this, this lead ... VIVIAN: Martin, don't even go there. SAMANTHA: Okay, but we have to raise the question, Vivian. VIVIAN: Okay, if you guys don't want to work on the case, I think you need to take it up with Jack. DANNY: Oh, we'd love to -- it just seems like somebody doesn't want to leave his office today. (VIVIAN looks at them and leaves.) CUT TO: SCENE #10: [INT. FBI - JACK'S OFFICE - DAY -- CONTINUOUS] (VIVIAN opens the door to JACK'S office. She lingers in the doorway.) VIVIAN: We're ready to get going in there. JACK: Okay, just give me a second. VIVIAN: You want to talk about it? JACK: No. (VIVIAN walks into the office anyway and stands in front of his desk.) VIVIAN: What happened the last time Chet came in here? JACK: I told you, nothing. VIVIAN: Okay. Now, tell me the truth. JACK: Vivian, back off. VIVIAN: Did you just tell me to back off? JACK: Yeah, back off. VIVIAN: Jack! This is not your personal crusade. I've spent just as much time on this case as you have, and whatever happened between you and Chet is relevant to this investigation. It is not a private moment. You need to share it with the rest of the team, which includes me. JACK: Chet found a picture in an Oklahoma newspaper -- a homeless kid. He became convinced that it was Sean. He wanted me to check it out so I ran it by the locals in Tulsa but it turned out to be a dead end but Chet wouldn't have any of it. (Quick flashback to: CHET COLLINS stands in front of JACK'S desk.) JACK: (v.o.) He wanted me to send a team from here. JACK: I just can't do it. CHET COLLINS: A couple of days, man. I mean, you guys know this case. JACK: I've had the locals I.D. the boy. It's not Sean. CHET COLLINS: I'm talking about making sure, that's all. JACK: Look, I just can't justify sending a team down there. CHET COLLINS: (yelling) Justify! What the hell is that?! JACK: Listen, Chet, I have priorities. I can't send agents running after every lead, even if I think they're reasonable. CHET COLLINS: Which you don't! JACK: No, I do not. CHET COLLINS: You gave me your word! JACK: That's enough! I'm sorry, but Sean's gone. He is just gone. CHET COLLINS: Good-bye, Jack. (CHET turns around and walks out of the office.) (End of flashback. Resume to present.) JACK: And that was it, that was the last time I saw him. It was two months ago. VIVIAN: I think you did the right thing. He needed to hear that. JACK: Not from me, he didn't. VIVIAN: You don't owe him anything. JACK: I think I do. Chet Collins is out there with a gun and he could hurt himself or someone else. VIVIAN: Jack, you are not responsible for everything and everybody. JACK: Are you done? (With a final glance at JACK, VIVIAN walks out of the office.) CUT TO: SCENE #11: [INT. FBI - MISSING PERSONS UNIT -- DAY] (An open file storage box for SEAN COLLINS (dated 9-11-97 to 10-21-97) is on the table. MARTIN is looking through the campsite photographs with DANNY.) MARTIN: So here's what I can piece together. There was one entrance to the campground, a ranger station here, but it was unmanned after 8:00 P.M. And the boy vanished just after 9:00. DANNY: Did all the cars on the campsite check out? MARTIN: Over and over and over. We're just spinning our wheels here, without Jack. (SAMANTHA joins the men.) SAMANTHA: Okay, guys, here we go. Gary Fisk, the P.I., gave us a list of all the newspaper citations he got online. All of the articles were found at Chet's apartment except one. This is a listing from the crime page of a weekly paper in Trenton. An unidentified man was detained for trying to kidnap a two-year- old girl. He tried to lure her from her yard using his dogs. The cops didn't have enough to charge him, so he was released. MARTIN: Wait a minute. There was a witness in Sean's case who thought he saw a guy with a small dog hanging around the campground. DANNY: There was this theory that he used a dog to lure Sean. Nobody else saw the man. They let it go. SAMANTHA: Maybe Chet didn't let it go. Maybe he thinks he's found his guy. DANNY: What was the witness's name? MARTIN: Here we go -- Trey Cavanaugh. Park Ranger. CUT TO: SCENE #12: [EXT. CAMPSITE -- DAY] (JACK and DANNY interview TREY CAVANAUGH, The Park Ranger. They make their way slowly to the campsite.) TREY CAVANAUGH: I'd only started in the park three months before it happened. This is my dream job, you know, being up here in the mountains. That sure changed. DANNY: So you're a supervisor now. TREY CAVANAUGH: Yeah, they got me behind a desk in Liberty. JACK: (looking around) The place is pretty much the same. DANNY: How often did you talk to Mr. Collins? TREY CAVANAUGH: Uh... about once a year. He'd go on and ask if I remembered anything else about the dog guy. 'Course if I had, I'd have called you people right off. JACK: Did he seem satisfied with that? TREY CAVANAUGH: Yeah. I always got the feeling he was just sort of going down the list, you know. Um ... till a couple of days ago. DANNY: What happened? TREY CAVANAUGH: Uh, he called up and said he wanted to meet me here and that he had a picture of the guy. (Quick flashback to: CHET COLLINS shows TREY CAVANAUGH a photograph.) CHET COLLINS: His name's Tyson Dibbs. He tried to grab a kid in jersey using a dog. TREY CAVANAUGH: I don't know. It was six years ago. CHET COLLINS: Really look, I mean and try to remember. TREY CAVANAUGH: It's hard. It was dark. CHET COLLINS: This could be the man who took my son. TREY CAVANAUGH: I know that, Mr. Collins, and I want to help you. CHET COLLINS: Well, think. You were here that night. TREY CAVANAUGH: Mr. Collins ... ... I can't be sure. CHET COLLINS: Just look at the picture. Try to remember. His name's Tyson Dibbs. Could this be the man you saw? TREY CAVANAUGH: Sure. Yeah. I-it could be. TREY CAVANAUGH: (v.o.) It was like that's all he wanted to hear. (End of flashback. Resume to present.) JACK: But you weren't sure? TREY CAVANAUGH: No. I got to honest with you. When you people couldn't find any trace of this guy, I pretty much figured, you know, maybe I never saw him. DANNY: You never told that to Mr. Collins, did you? TREY CAVANAUGH: Oh, no way. I couldn't. CUT TO: WHITEBOARD TIMELINE: 2DBD -- QUESTIONS RANGER ABOUT DIBBS SCENE #13: [INT. HALLWAY/ DIBBS RESIDENCE -- DAY] LEGEND: BRIDGEPORT, CT (The landlady with the keys walk JACK and DANNY to TYSON DIBBS' residence.) (JACK knocks on the door.) JACK: Mr. Dibbs, FBI! (There's no answer. He instructs the landlady to open the door.) JACK: Open it up. CUT TO: SCENE #14: [INT. FBI - MISSING PERSONS UNIT -- DAY] (MARTIN walks to VIVIAN'S desk. He holds a file. He hands the file to VIVIAN. She looks through it.) MARTIN: Vivian. Here's what we found on Tyson Dibbs. You are not gonna believe it. CUT TO: SCENE #15: [INT. TYSON DIBBS' RESIDENCE -- DAY] (The doors open. JACK and DANNY draw their weapons as they enter the residence.) JACK: Check that room. (DANNY opens the door to the bathroom. He finds TYSON DIBBS' dead on the floor, slumped against the bathroom wall.) DANNY: Jack. (DANNY withdraws. They both put their weapons away. JACK leans in and feels for a pulse.) JACK: Better call the coroner's office. CUT TO: SCENE #16: [INT. FBI - MISSING PERSONS UNIT -- DAY] (VIVIAN is on the phone speaking with JACK.) VIVIAN: Martin ran Tyson Dibbs's name through all the indexes. No record, but he does show up as a witness in an FBI investigation six years ago. The Collins case. Jack, I think Chet found something. (JACK closes his eyes.) CUT TO: WHITEBOARD TIMELINE 2DBD - KISS TYSON DIBBS ? FADE TO BLACK. (COMMERCIAL SET) FADE IN. SCENE #17: [INT. FBI - MISSING PERSONS UNIT -- DAY] (The teams all there and pooling information.) MARTIN: As far as we know, Dibbs is clean. Divorced 11 years ago. No kids, no police record. DANNY: Okay. Chet goes to see Dibbs. They fight, right. Dibbs confesses to taking his son. Chet loses it and he shoots him. MARTIN: Or Dibbs doesn't confess, Chet doesn't believe him and shoots him out of frustration. JACK: Chet would want to find out about Sean first, so he wouldn't do anything to anybody until he had that information. DANNY: If I I'm Dibbs and I think I'm gonna die, I'm gonna tell Chet whatever he wants to hear and whatever that is Chet's going to run it down, right? SAMANTHA: Just got off the phone with Helen Collins. Chet called there last night. MARTIN: If he's calling home, why isn't he calling us? DANNY: Obviously he's furious, he's ... JACK: (interrupting) Chet is not calling us because he doesn't think we'll help and that is my mistake. As you may have noticed, I've been a little preoccupied with it lately but ... I feel what I feel, and if my attitude has caused anyone any problems, I apologize, but I think we should move on. I think Danny is right. We should focus on Tyson Dibbs. Chet probably is running something down he found out from him. Vivian, we need to see Helen again. (JACK stands up. He and VIVIAN walk out of the office. VIVIAN has a pleased look on her face.) JACK: You happy? VIVIAN: (glances at JACK) Yeah. CUT TO: SCENE #18: [INT. COLLINS' RESIDENCE -- DAY] (JACK and VIVIAN interview KELLY COLLINS.) HELEN COLLINS: He called Kelly, which, of course, is understandable, but it just would have been nice if my daughter had informed me. KELLY COLLINS: Dad told me not to say anything. HELEN COLLINS: It's okay, Kelly, your father needs our help. KELLY COLLINS: He called last night. (Quick flashback to: CHET COLLINS standing in a phone booth.) CHET COLLINS: It's me, honey. INTERCUT WITH: KELLY COLLINS: Daddy? Where are you? The police were here. CHET COLLINS: Oh, don't worry -- everything's fine. I've got some great news about Sean. KELLY COLLINS: Let me get mom. CHET COLLINS: No, no, no, no. You can't tell anyone we talked. Not until I bring your brother home. KELLY COLLINS: Dad... CHET COLLINS: I am so close, honey. KELLY COLLINS: Okay, dad. CHET COLLINS: Hey, Kelly, listen. I know how hard it's been but we'll be a family again and I'll try so hard to make it up to you. I love you, Kelly. Whatever happens I love you. KELLY COLLINS: I love you, too, daddy. (She hangs up. CHET hangs up.) KELLY COLLINS: (v.o.) That's all. (End of flashback. Resume to present. KELLY COLLINS: Agent Malone, I know my dad's done this before -- not run away, I mean, but convince himself of stuff that wasn't true. It's just ... he's never sounded so sure before. CUT TO: WHITEBOARD TIMELINE: 2 DBD - CALLS DAUGHTER SCENE #19: [INT. FBI - MISSING PERSONS UNIT] (MARTIN walks up to SAMANTHA and DANNY, both working at their desks.) MARTIN: So the plot thickens. I got Dibbs's old phone records. Day after Sean was taken, Dibbs made a dozen calls to a motel outside of Hartford. The next day, ten more. SAMANTHA: Maybe Dibbs wasn't acting alone. Maybe he had a partner that he was supposed to meet at the motel. MARTIN: Yeah, but the thing is ... not one of these calls lasted more than a minute. DANNY: Short calls. Messages? Maybe he never reached the guy. MARTIN: The hotel manager checked out his old registries. There was one no- show on a reservation for those days, and here's the interesting part -- there was a request for a crib. SAMANTHA: Okay, so Dibbs takes Sean. He's gonna meet his partner in Hartford, but the guy never showed. Who made the reservation? MARTIN: A guy named Beau Williams. The credit card he used has been canceled and there's no hits on NCIC, so we're still looking. (An AGENT hands SAMANTHA a piece of paper.) AGENT: Verizon. SAMANTHA: Thanks. All right, Chet's call to his daughter came from a pay phone at a truck stop on I-95 just south of New Haven. DANNY: Our man's on his way to Hartford. SAMANTHA: Yeah. CUT TO: SCENE #20: [INT. JANSEN'S RESIDENCE -- DAY] LEGEND: TRENTON, NJ (JACK and VIVIAN interview CHRIS JANSEN.) VIVIAN: Mr. Jansen, we believe that the man that tried to abduct your daughter may be involved in several kidnappings in the last couple of years. CHRIS JANSEN: Okay. I don't know how I can help, but ... JACK: Whatever you can tell us about that day may give us some insight into how he works. CHRIS JANSEN: Okay, um ... there's a lake at O'Connor park and my daughter, Allia, she, she went off chasing this big mallard and she was just like 50 feet away from me and she just darted into the woods. I ran over there. I couldn't find her, and ... that's when I saw her. She was crouched over this little dog on a leash. JACK: And there was no sign of Mr. Dibbs? CHRIS JANSEN: No. One of the other fathers grabbed him while he was trying to get into his Bronco on this service road that runs behind the lake. VIVIAN: Did you see any sign of a partner? CHRIS JANSEN: Uh-uh. No. No, I didn't see anything. MRS. JANSEN: Chris? CHRIS JANSEN: That's my wife. Yes? (An asian-american woman walks into the room carrying a little girl. Both JACK and VIVIAN see the correlation between the two children immediately.) MRS. JANSEN: Is everything okay? CHRIS JANSEN: Yeah. CUT TO: SCENE #21: [INT. FBI - COFFEE ROOM/HALLWAY -- DAY] (MARTIN and SAMANTHA grab their cups of coffee and head back to the office. SAMANTHA fills MARTIN in on how mixed-race adoptions work.) SAMANTHA: Mixed race adoptions. Here's how it works. You're a mixed-race couple. You want a child that looks like you -- say, african-american-asian, like Sean. MARTIN: Right. SAMANTHA: You go to an adoption agency, make the request. The more exotic, the more difficult to find. If the child can't be found in the general adoption pool the request is farmed out to private brokers. MARTIN: So the families arrange to kidnap the children? SAMANTHA: No, the families have no idea because it's all run through legit agencies. The broker supplies the child, some shady lawyer draws up the papers and it all looks above board. MARTIN: That's why Chet was going to Hartford. Dibbs must have told him that Sean was adopted by a new family there. SAMANTHA: But we know that something went wrong with the adoption because Dibbs's partner never showed up at the motel. MARTIN: Doesn't mean the adoption didn't go through. SAMANTHA: So let's find that lawyer. CUT TO: [EXT. HARTFORD, CT (STOCK) - DAY] SCENE #22: [INT. SARDELL ADOPTION AGENCY -- DAY] LEGEND: SARDELL ADOPTION AGENCY HARTFORD, CT (JACK and VIVIAN walk into the Adoption Agency.) ADOPTION WORKER: Here we are ... the Carter's. (She picks up a file folder off of the desk and gives it to JACK.) JACK: Thank you. ADOPTION WORKER: He was adorable. They named him Austin. JACK: February 1997. Seven months after Sean went missing. VIVIAN: Maybe they held onto him until things were cooled down. JACK: Unless he took a little side trip to Vietnam. (VIVIAN leans over to read the file. Inside is a Personal Information sheet that reads: [Country of Birth: VIETNAM Status: AVAILABLE Race/Ethnicity: AMERIASIAN Birthmother Code: CONFIDENTIAL 237771 Gender: MALE ] ADOPTION WORKER: Yes, this one came from a service in Vietnam that finds Ameri- Asian children needing homes. JACK: And you've used this service before? ADOPTION WORKER: I personally went over there and picked up the boy. Believe me, it's a reputable operation. VIVIAN: You said that the couple had been trying for a long time. ADOPTION WORKER: Yes. In fact, I remember they almost had an adoption come through with another agency earlier that year. JACK: How much earlier? ADOPTION WORKER: I don't remember exactly. Maybe six, eight months. They were a day away. They made plans to receive the child here in Hartford. The whole thing fell apart. JACK: Do you know where this family is now? CUT TO: SCENE #23: [INT. FBI - MISSING PERSONS UNIT] (SAMANTHA walks into the office.) SAMANTHA: The Carters live in Trumbull. They saw someone matching Chet's description parked outside their house this morning. (DANNY sighs.) DANNY: Chet must think Austin's his son. SAMANTHA: Yes, but he's not. DANNY: Where's the kid now? SAMANTHA: He's on a school field trip. CUT TO: SCENE #24: [EXT. -- DAY] (A little boy sits on the carousel horse. The carousel starts moving. CHET makes his way down the path to the carousel.) (He reaches the fence and starts looking at the children on the carousel. He sees the little boy.) (FBI & police cars pull up on the path in front of the carousel. CHET doesn't see them. He only has eyes for the little boy on the carousel horse.) (The carousel slowly comes to a stop.) (JACK and VIVIAN drive up in the car.) (CHET leaves his spot and starts heading toward the carousel. JACK and VIVIAN make their way to the carousel looking for CHET.) (CHET turns the corner and starts walking toward the carousel. JACK turns around and sees CHET. He blocks his path and tries to hold him back.) JACK: Chet. Look, stop. It's not Sean. It's not your son. CHET COLLINS: Jack, what are you doing here? (CHET looks from JACK to the little boy on the carousel horse.) JACK: It's not Sean. We checked into it. It's not your child. CHET COLLINS: Why should I listen to you? JACK: Because I'm your friend. CHET COLLINS: You get out of my way. I found him. I found him without you. JACK: (to the Officer behind CHET) Cuff him. (to CHET) Chet Collins ... you're under arrest for the murder of Tyson Dibbs. (pause) I'm sorry, Chet. Let's go. (JACK turns CHET around and leads him back to the parked cars.) FADE TO BLACK. (COMMERCIAL SET) FADE IN. SCENE #25: [INT. FBI - INTERROGATION ROOM -- DAY] (JACK interviews CHET COLLINS.) CHET COLLINS: (frustrated) I told you I didn't kill him! Now you've got to let me go. Do you understand? I found my son. JACK: No, you did not. You hoped that you found your son. Now I want you to tell me what happened with Dibbs. CHET COLLINS: When I saw that article about the Trenton abduction I remembered what that guy in the park had said. I knew Dibbs was it. I went out there I found a cop who was willing to talk and I went to his house. (Quick flashback to: CHET has a hold on TYSON DIBBS' jacket and has his back up against the bar counter.) CHET COLLINS: Tell me! TYSON DIBBS: (scared) I didn't hurt him. Oh, god, please. I just took him from the campsite. CHET COLLINS: What'd did you do with him?! TYSON DIBBS: There was supposed to be an adoption, but I don't know what happened. I swear to god! I swear to god! I was just supposed to grab him and hand him off. The other guy was going to take him back to a motel, set it up with a lawyer. CHET COLLINS: What other guy?! TYSON DIBBS: His name's Beau Williams. CHET COLLINS: How do I find him?! TYSON DIBBS: I don't know. (CHET pulls out his gun and points it at TYSON DIBBS.) CHET COLLINS: I will kill you. I got nothing to lose. TYSON DIBBS: Look... look... after I gave him the boy, I never saw him again. I never got paid. I got nothing. CHET COLLINS: Do not lie to me! TYSON DIBBS: I swear to god. I'm not. I tried to reach him for weeks. The guy vanished. CHET COLLINS: Where was he supposed to take Sean? TYSON DIBBS: To some... some family in Trumbull, I think. Connecticut. I don't know anything else. I swear to god I would tell you if I did. (CHET looks at TYSON DIBBS. He backhands him across the mouth.) CHET COLLINS: If I don't find my son, I'm coming back and I'm going to kill you. (CHET COLLINS lets go of his shirt. He backs away and leaves.) (End of flashback. Resume to present.) CHET COLLINS: He was alive when I left. If I killed him, I'd tell you. JACK: If you didn't kill him, then who did? CHET COLLINS: I don't know. Maybe it was this ... this Williams fellow covering his tracks. I mean, it sounds like there was other people involved, Jack. JACK: Where did you go? CHET COLLINS: I headed right to Trumbull. I knew the Adoption Agency wouldn't tell me anything so I started going to elementary schools. Said I was moving to town, had a second-grader, wondered if they'd give me a tour. Look, look at me, Jack. Look at me. (JACK looks up at CHET.) You're sure that boy's not Sean? (Looking at CHET, JACK nods.) JACK: Yes, I'm sure. His name is Austin David Jones. He was born in Vietnam. He was adopted six months after Sean disappeared. And I am really sorry. (CHET puts his head down. There's a knock at the door.) CHET COLLINS: Yeah, yeah. (The door opens and VIVIAN walks in.) JACK: We're not going to give up. CHET COLLINS: Neither am I. VIVIAN: (softly) Jack. JACK: (to CHET) Just give me a second. (JACK stands up and meets VIVIAN at the door.) VIVIAN: (softly) Just got the ballistics report on Chet's gun. It's not the weapon that killed Tyson Dibbs. We get that to police, they'll have to let him go. In which case ... JACK: Just take your time, okay? VIVIAN: Okay. (VIVIAN leaves and closes the door.) CUT TO: SCENE #26: [INT. FBI - MISSING PERSONS UNIT -- DAY] (MARTIN walks up to SAMANTHA and DANNY, both sitting at the conference table. MARTIN takes a seat.) MARTIN: Ok, , I think I found Beau Williams. This guy was a small-time crook, couple of outstanding warrants from the '90s, nothing on his record involving children. But get this-- the day after Sean disappeared, Williams was killed in a car accident. SAMANTHA: In Connecticut? MARTIN: No, route 80 just outside of Detroit. SAMANTHA: Wait, I don't understand. MARTIN: All right, what if Williams was double-crossing everyone and going freelance with Sean? He takes the handoff from Dibbs in Connecticut but instead of meeting the lawyer at the motel, he drives all night to Detroit, falls asleep at the wheel and that's it. DANNY: Was there a child in the car? MARTIN: I'm not sure, I'm still waiting for the accident report. CUT TO: [EXT. NEW YORK CITY (STOCK) - NIGHT] SCENE #27: [INT. FBI - MISSING PERSONS UNIT -- NIGHT] (VIVIAN and JACK are at the office.) VIVIAN: It was a head-on collision. And if he's right, if Sean was in that car, then... JACK: We just don't know. VIVIAN: But then, if he survived, where is he? JACK: Certainly, Dibbs and Williams can't tell us. What about that lawyer -- the one that tried to set Sean up with the Carters? VIVIAN: Gene Clarkson? JACK: Yeah. VIVIAN: He's into everything. Not just adoption-- drugs, prostitution. But no one has ever been able to make anything stick. JACK: Okay. Let's say that Sean has survived the accident. VIVIAN: Mm-hmm. JACK: Maybe Clarkson doesn't want to let go of his investment so easily. Maybe he goes after him. VIVIAN: Do you think he killed Tyson Dibbs? JACK: Probably. My guess is, is that Dibbs called Clarkson as soon as Chet left ... not realizing he signed his own death warrant. VIVIAN: We got to bust this guy. (JACK looks up. VIVIAN looks at JACK.) VIVIAN: What are you thinking? JACK: Clarkson knows that Chet's on his tail. Maybe we can get Chet to make a phone call offering him 20 grand for some information on Sean. Maybe he meets him in a crowded area. VIVIAN: Maybe he wears a wire. JACK: Maybe we get some information on Dibbs or Sean. Martin's waiting for the accident report. I've got to get a court order on the wire, so ... why don't you go home and get some sleep. VIVIAN: Okay. (JACK stands up.) VIVIAN: Long day. JACK: Yep. And it goes on. (JACK heads out the office.) CUT TO: [EXT. NEW YORK CITY (STOCK) - DAY] SCENE #28: [INT. FBI - MISSING PERSONS UNIT -- DAY] (An AGENT puts a tape recorder on CHET COLLINS. VIVIAN instructs CHET.) VIVIAN: Remember, no heroics okay? And when we give you the signal, get out of there. I mean, walk away. CHET COLLINS: I got it. No problem. (JACK enters the room and heads straight to CHET. CHET looks up at JACK. JACK has information.) JACK: Sean was in the car. He survived the accident. He was taken to a city hospital in Detroit, but then we lose track of him. CHET COLLINS: I don't understand. Is he alive? JACK: We're not really sure. CHET COLLINS: How could this not get reported? JACK: Williams was traveling with Sean with false adoption papers. We're checking all the medical records of the period, but they're a mess. (CHET turns his head, angry at the implications. JACK looks straight at CHET, a new determination in his voice.) JACK: Listen to me. We're going to find Sean. CHET COLLINS: All right, let's do this. (CHET grabs his jacket and they all walk out of the office.) CUT TO: SCENE #29: [INT. BUSINESS COMPLEX -- DAY] (AGENTS are positioned around the area. CHET COLLINS stands in the center of the business complex. He looks around and waits.) (A man comes up the escalator. He approaches CHET.) GENE CLARKSON: Mr. Collins. CHET COLLINS: Mr. Clarkson, I'd like you to keep your hands out of your pockets, if you don't mind. (GENE CLARKSON takes his hands out of his coat pockets.) CHET COLLINS: I know you killed Tyson Dibbs. GENE CLARKSON: I don't know what you're talking about. CHET COLLINS: I don't care. I just want my son back. GENE CLARKSON: And you think I can help? CHET COLLINS: I'm going into my pocket for an envelope, okay? $21,700 - everything I've got in the world. Just tell me where Sean is. (CHET holds out the envelope of money. GENE CLARKSON looks down at it. He doesn't make a move toward it.) GENE CLARKSON: As I said to you on the phone, I'll look into it for you. CHET COLLINS: That's not good enough. You want my money, you tell me where my son is right now. (The two men stare at each other.) JACK: (to mic) Everybody hold. CHET COLLINS: I know you hired Tyson Dibbs and Bo Williams. I know Williams took Sean to Detroit. (CHET pushes the envelope toward GENE CLARKSON.) CHET COLLINS: Where is he?GENE CLARKSON: I'm afraid we won't be doing business, Mr. Collins. VIVIAN: (to mic) It's blown, Danny, wave him off. (DANNY stands up and gives CHET the signal.) GENE CLARKSON: Have a nice day. (GENE CLARKSON turns and walks away. CHET persistently follows GENE CLARKSON tot he escalators.) CHET COLLINS: Just tell me. Why Sean?! GENE CLARKSON: I wouldn't know. (CHET grabs GENE CLARKSON and pulls him to the side.) CHET COLLINS: Tell me, you son of a bitch! (JACK drops his paper and rushes to the scene.) JACK: (to mic) Okay, let's get in there. (CHET grabs GENE CLARKSON around the neck and continues to yell at him.) CHET COLLINS: Where's my boy?! I'll kill you! JACK: Go! Go! Go! Go! (DANNY and SAMANTHA run to the scene. MARTIN climbs up the escalators and rushes over to assist.) CHET COLLINS: Where's Sean?! Where's Sean? Where is he?! Where's my son?! What'd you do with him?! Where is he?! Where is he?! JACK: Get him off! (DANNY and an OFFICER pull CHET off of CLARKSON. MARTIN and SAMANTHA hold on to CLARKSON.) DANNY: Come on! Come on! Come on! (MARTIN reaches into CLARKSON'S pocket and retrieves a hand gun.) MARTIN: What do we got here, huh? (MARTIN holds the weapon up for JACK to see.) JACK: That's perfect. (MARTIN puts the weapon away. JACK gets into GENE CLARKSON'S face.) JACK: I'll tell you what I'm going to do. I'm going to run a test on that gun. My guess is there will be a forensics match to the gun that killed Tyson Dibbs and even if it's not, those hands that were just around your neck they're going to be there again, I promise you. And next time we're not going to be here to stop him. Where's the boy? (At that moment, CHET struggles to get free from DANNY and The OFFICER'S hold. GENE CLARKSON'S eyes grow wide and never leaves CHET.) GENE CLARKSON: Children's Services in Detroit. Foster care, I think. JACK: Get him out of here. (They take GENE CLARKSON away. JACK turns around and leads CHET out. VIVIAN and DANNY follow.) DANNY: It's okay, it's okay. Come on, come on, come on, come on. CUT TO: [EXT. DETROIT CITY (STOCK) - DAY] LEGEND: DETROIT, MI SCENE #30: [INT. CHILDREN'S SERVICES - HALLWAY -- DAY] (Camera opens on CHET COLLINS. He looks around the quiet hallway. Some distance away, JACK, VIVIAN and HELEN COLLINS also wait.) (The door at the far end of the hall opens. A Social Worker and a small child walk out of the room. They make their way toward them.) (Both HELEN and CHET COLLINS watch with wide eyes as the little boy is brought to CHET.) LYRICS: ["I Shall Be Released", sung by Aaron Neville, written by Bob Dylan] They say everything can be replaced / They say every distance is not near / so I remember every face / Of every man who put me here ... (CHET turns and kneels down to look at the little boy.) CHET COLLINS: Hey. LYRICS: ... I see my light come shining / From the west unto the east ... (With tears in his eyes, CHET tries to introduce himself to his son.) CHET COLLINS: I'm your ... LYRICS: ... Any day now, any day now, / I shall be released (He tries again.) CHET COLLINS: I'm Chet. What's your name? GARRETT (SEAN): Garrett. LYRICS: ... They say every man needs protection ... CHET COLLINS: It's nice to meet you, Garrett. LYRICS: ... They say every man must fall / So I swear I see my reflection ... (CHET holds out his hand. GARRETT/SEAN puts his hand in his father's. They shake. CHET smiles.) GARRETT (SEAN): Hi. LYRICS: ... Someplace so high above this wall / I see my light come shining / from the west unto the east ... (HELEN COLLINS walks up to the two men. She kneels down in front of GARRETT/SEAN and smiles brightly.) HELEN COLLINS: Hi. You are a brave boy. Do you mind if I give you a little hug? LYRICS: ... any day now, any day now / I shall be released ... (HELEN COLLINS wraps her arms around her son.) (Cut to: CHET COLLINS walks back toward VIVIAN and JACK. VIVIAN holds out her hand with a big smile.) VIVIAN: I'm so happy for you, Mr. Collins (They shake hands.) LYRICS: ... Standing next to me in this lonely crowd / Is a man who swears he's not to blame ... CHET COLLINS: (heartfelt) Thank you, Agent Johnson. Thank you. Thank you. (VIVIAN smiles and walks away leaving CHET with JACK.) CHET COLLINS: Hey, uh ... I wanted to ... I wanted to give you this. (CHET reaches into his jacket pocket and gives JACK a charm on a chain. JACK looks down at it.) LYRICS: ... all day long I hear him shout so loud / crying out that he was framed ... JACK: St. Jude. CHET COLLINS: Yeah. I got it from a priest about a year ago. I don't know if the man gave it to me because he thought I was a lost or because Sean was lost. Either way ... (He pauses as he's overcome with emotion.) CHET COLLINS: (whispers) I don't need it anymore. But maybe, I thought, you know, maybe you could use it. LYRICS: ... any day now, any day now / I shall be released ... JACK: Yeah. Thanks. CHET COLLINS: (sighs) You take care, my friend. JACK: Yeah, you, too. (They shake hands. CHET COLLINS walks away from JACK.) (JACK looks down at the charm in his hand. He looks up and watches CHET and HELEN COLLINS with their son Sean.) (JACK turns around and walks away. The camera lingers on the reunited family.) LYRICS: ... any day now, any day now / I shall be released / any day now, any day now / I shall be free ...
