Once sec, Olivia. Squeeze or smell? Excuse me? My husband does all the grocery shopping; I have no idea if this thing is ripe. Touch, actually. This is a good one. Thanks. Mm-hmm. Yeah, I heard you. Well, tell Mark to keep his *** on. I'll be there in 20. (phone rings) Hello. BOY (on phone): Hello? Is this Mrs. So and So? I'm sorry, sir, Mrs. So and So is not at this number. I see you. (laughs) What have you got in your bag? Apples. Ah, is there anything else? Fireman Brad. (giggles) I think you found the best apples in the whole market. That's what I told him. Although, I don't know why we're paying these prices, when they're half that at Stop & Shop. Because these aren't covered in pesticides. I have to pee. Okay, honey, I'll take you right away. I'll see you in a sec. Mom, please. All right, let's go. Last one there is a rotten egg. Mommy! Give me a quick sec, hon, okay? Ooh. John! John! Did Andrew come back here? He was with you. Oh, God, I just looked away for a second. Did you check the bathrooms? Yes. What about the fire truck? He's not there. Where'd you see him last? We were over there. Come on. Andrew! Andrew! Andrew! Andrew! Andrew! Andrew! Andrew! Andrew! Please, baby, come out. Andrew! MAN: Andrew! Have you guys seen a little boy? Andrew! He's this tall, anybody, please. Do you see him? Andrew! We've looked everywhere. Andrew! (car engine starts) Tess. What did you do with my son? Andrew! What's your problem, man? Parents Tess and John Pratt, 25, son Andrew, six, last seen at the northeast entrance of the market. The mom said that he wandered off when she stopped to pay a vendor. Does he have a history of wandering? Not according to the mom, but then again, no one saw him taken. Well, if he did, it could be a crime of opportunity. Where are we with the Amber alerts? VIVIAN: Martin's putting it out. I set up a five-block perimeter, and agents are going door to door. Okay, and we should check the traffic cams around the park. I saw a B of A on the west side entrance. We should get the ATM and surveillance tape from them. Agent Malone, I found this in the alley. The parents confirm it's the child's. They say he never goes anywhere without it. (indistinct police radio transmissions) So much for little boy lost. VIVIAN: We gave Andrew's picture to all the law enforcement agencies We've got officers canvassing the area to see if anybody has seen him. I only looked away for a second. It happens to most parents at some point, Mrs. Pratt. Now, did you see anyone following you or him? No, I don't think so. I wasn't really paying attention, I guess. How often do you come to this market? Every Friday morning. I don't have class, and my husband has to be at work by 10:00. Now, did Andrew know of any of the vendors? Was there anyone he liked to talk to? No, he's pretty shy around strangers. Oh, God, he must be so scared right now. When is John coming back? He's still back at the apartment with Agent Malone. Why? Well, if this is a kidnapping, someone might phone in with a ransom. If they wanted money, these people took the wrong kid. I make 12 bucks an hour installing alarm systems. We pay the bills, but that's about it. Did you borrow money from people who expect a 50% return on their loan? I'm not stupid, okay? I wouldn't borrow money from a loan shark. W-Why are we even talking about this? Because your kid was abducted, Mr. Pratt. And if you want to find him, you'll answer the questions. Okay, I'm sorry. Okay. Did you notice anybody suspicious hanging around your house or around your kid's school? Uh I don't know. Not really hanging around, I mean Then what? There was this man at Barion Park the other day. He was talking to Andrew. WOMAN: I can't, Erin. WOMAN #2: It's the Killers. My brother got extra tickets. I wish I could. I haven't been to a concert since we saw Beck freshman year. Man, that was an amazing concert. How would you know? You were busy making out with Jeremy Johnson the entire time. (laughing) Crap, I'm late for work. Listen, call me if you change your mind. Hey! Hey! Andrew, get over here-- what the hell are you doing? He lost his ball. I was going to help him get it out of the bushes. He was just trying to help. Here you go, Andrew. Thank you. You're welcome. Have a nice day. I was kicking myself for thinking the worst of that man. I should have listened to my gut. Had you seen him before? Yeah. I think he was a maintenance worker. Oh, God, why didn't I say something? ELENA: Okay, and what about the Pratt's bank accounts? A couple thousand owed on a Visa, less than $200 in the bank. They're one bad cold away from needing public assistance. A kidnap for ransom doesn't make any sense. Well, John Pratt's father owns a bunch of car dealerships in Virginia, so maybe he's the mark. Maybe, but where's the ransom call. Um, it's still early, you know? I've got NYPD running down any known sex offenders in the area. I'm going to keep hoping for a ransom. Yeah. Nabbed the groundskeeper at Barion Park. Name's Bart Jones. Our mom ID'd him as the man she saw with Andrew. Any priors? No, but a parent filed a complaint with Parks and Rec a week ago. She caught Jones peeking into the boy's bathroom. I don't understand why I'm here. DANNY: You're here because you like to look at little boys while they use the bathroom. That was a misunderstanding. Bart, your manager confirmed that you worked the early shift today. Yeah, I work the early shift every Friday. So what? So Andrew Pratt went missing this morning. Who? That's who. Yeah, okay. I seen him at the park with his mom. You like him? What? Bart, we got a search warrant for your apartment. We found your Transformer collection. Not the kind of toys that a grown man usually plays with. Well, that's my hobby. Mountain climbing is a hobby. I'm afraid of heights. How'd you convince him to go back to your apartment? You promise to show him your treasure trove? No. MARTIN: Did Andrew get scared, Bart? Maybe he didn't want to play anymore and you lost control. I didn't touch that kid. I was helping him find his soccer ball. If anyone was hurting him, it was her. Thank you. You're welcome. Have a nice day. What did I tell you about talking to strangers? He is a He's a park ranger. He is a stranger until I say otherwise! He's a park ranger. Do you understand me? (groaning) Andrew! Andrew, stop! (horn beeping) What are you doing? What are you doing? ANDREW (crying): My ball! The way she shook him like that. She could have hurt him. Oh, come on, Bart-- you expect us to believe that? (softly): It's true. We're going to look into that bathroom incident. Make sure it really was a misunderstanding. Andrew called his mom's cell phone at 8:32 a. m. She said they headed for the bathrooms right after that. What time was the 911 call? A bystander called it in at 8:41. Okay, so if Tess Pratt did something to her son Wow, she'd have less than ten minutes. Let's say she did. ERT checked the alleys and the Dumpsters, so where did she get rid of the body? Well, vendors were coming and going all morning. She could have stashed the body on a truck, and now it's headed out of the city. Listen, just because she got a little physical with Andrew doesn't mean that she killed him. Well, have you ever gotten "a little physical" with Sophie? What I'm saying is that as a mother, you know, when your kid is in danger, like running out in the street, or whatever-- it doesn't really matter-- you get scared, you know? You can lose your head a bit. It happens. All right, um why don't we call Tess's friend, Erin. Maybe she can tell us if the groundskeeper's lying. We'll bring her in. Tess is a great mom. She would never do anythingo Andrew. Well, someone told us she got fairly violent with him the other day. Well, someone is a liar. Are you sure you're not protecting your friend? Because, listen, that's not going to help Andrew. Tess lives for that kid. When she got pregnant freshman year, we were all out partying. She and John dropped out, they got married. They totally committed to having a family. Can't have been an easy decision. It wasn't. Tess is smart. She could have run her own company. But being a mom was more important than having a career. Sure, she gets down sometimes, but she'd never take it out on Andrew. You're very doom and gloom today. What's going on? You know how I'm taking that marketing class? Mm-hmm. My teacher put me up for an internship at McGill and Lowe. It's one of the biggest firms in the city. And? I got it. Tess, that's amazing. Congratulations! I can't take it, Erin. Why not? Andrew's in school from 9:00 to 2:15. The internship's Tuesdays and Thursdays, 9:00 to 6:00. Well, what about a sitter? Are you kidding? We're barely making rent as it is. Just talk to John about it. John and I are like strangers. We used to spend hours talking about everything. Now the most I can get out of him is his work schedule. I miss how we used to be. I feel like I'm drowning. Like at any moment, I'm going to completely lose control. Tess you're going to get through this. I don't know. I'm beginning to resent my own son, Erin. I didn't know what else to say. It's not like I can give her advice on balancing a career with parenthood. Did she tell John? There was thing to tell. She was just having a bad day. How are you hanging in there? Thank you. Any news? Not yet. Must have been a tough decision to make. What? Dropping out of school to become a mom. I did what I had to. You make sacrifices. Hmm. Like missing out on that internship? Erin said you were pretty upset. I was venting to a friend. Sounded like a little more than that. Maybe another missed opportunity pushed you over the edge. You think I hurt my son? The groundskeeper at the park said that you roughed Andrew up pretty badly. You managed to leave that bit out. He almost got himself killed by running into the street after a ball. I guess I got a little rough with him. And now he's missing. And you want me to think that those two things are not related? Well, they're not. I love my son. Tess wouldn't do anything to Andrew. I know my wife. Are you sure? Your wife gave up a life of possibilities for this. Did you really think that that was her dream? To be a stay-at-home mom in Queens? Look, this isn't how either of us pictured our lives, okay? But you're wrong about Tess. Agent Malone, we got contact. Okay, open it up. What do what do we do? We wait. The ransom text came from a prepaid phone. They used John's cell phone number, so I'm assuming the kidnapper knew him. Unless the kid gave it to him. No. The mom says that he only knows thehomephone. Hey, excuse me. So I looked into the grandfather's finances. It turns out that Joseph Pratt has a holding company that owns a white supremacist publication. Any history of violence? Well, I have here that five of the subscribers were accused of burning down a Richmond synagogue in '97, and beating African-American college students in 2001. Not enough evidence to prosecute in either case. What's the father's ETA? He's gonna be here within the hour. Can't wait to meet thisguy. Hey. Any particular reason that you didn't tell me that your father was a racist? Why does it matter? Didn't it cross your mind that his group might have kidnapped Andrew? Look, my father and I haven't talked since I started dating Tess. He doesn't give a crap about me or my family. He must be thrilled that he has a mixed-race grandchild. That's an understatement. But he knew when Andrew was born. If my father wanted to hurt him, he wouldn't have waited until now. Well, you haven't talked to him for a long time. Are you sure? No, I I guess I'm not. Okay. We'll let you know if anything else comes up. Just, uh grab a seat. When his father comes in, I want you to conduct the interview. Surprise, surprise. Yeah, I know, it's predictable, but I want to catch this *** off guard. That's your grandson, Andrew. I know what he looks like. Really? You ever met him? Last week. John let you meet Andrew? John doesn't speak to me anymore. I didn't agree with some of the choices he made in life. You mean like marrying a black woman? I'm here to help my grandson. So you haven't spoken to your own son in about five years, and you want me to believe that you care about this kid? (sighs) My wife Patty died last year. Breast cancer. Said her only regret was never having met her grandson. Despite the fact that he's diluting the master race? Patty and I didn't always share the same point of view on certain issues. She was, uh in a lot of pain when she was dying. Made me promise to meet him. Well, she died a year ago. What took you so long? John wouldn't return my calls. I gave up trying to contact him after a couple of months. That's why I was so surprised to hear from her. I was sorry to hear about John's mom. Yeah. It's a shame her own son didn't make it to her funeral. He might have gone if you hadn't called your grandson a "mud person" when he was born. Why didyou call me back? I wanted to respect Mrs. Pratt's last wish. And I felt Andrew had a right to know his grandfather. Where is he? Playing in the bedroom. You and I have some things to get straight first. Such as? He'll never be out of my presence during your visit. You mention one thing about *** superiority or white supremacy, and your *** is out of here. I want Andrew to have a family, Mr. Pratt. And whether I like it or not, that includes you. I understand the sentiment. I'm sure you do. May I see my grandson now? I'm not finished. You need to set up a college fund for Andrew, so he doesn't have to struggle the way John and I have. How much? $5,000 to start. You'll put it under my maiden name so John doesn't find it. Do we have an agreement? We have an agreement. Andrew, honey, come on out. Who are you? This is Mr. Dalton, from the library. He's come here to read you a book. How nice to meet you, Andrew. Who's your buddy there? This is Fireman Pratt. I stayed for quite a while. Read him two chapters of Harry Potter. And that was the last time you saw him? The only time. I'm gonna need the names and all the information of all of your Denizens of Faith members. They don't know about Andrew. You sure? I want their names. And that was when? Excellent. Thank you. One of Joseph Pratt's racist buddies is at Disney World with his family. I'm waiting for the airline to send his flight info to verify. Okay. What about the other four involved in the attacks? I'm still looking into them. But if their White Power newsletter is any indication, these guys have plenty of motive. Why? One of their main goals: eradicate all nonwhites from the Earth. That's disgusting. Tell me about it. But still, they might not be involved in this. You know, I just talked to John Pratt's boss at Jensen Alarm. He says that three of his clients had break-ins recently. Was John involved? He was the number two on those jobs. Why didn't he get canned? He questioned him, but he says that he thought that John was clean. He did fire the supervisor, a guy by the name of Ziggy Raines. Ziggy Raines-- boy, there's a name for you. (laughs) So did we look into the homes that were burglarized? I was getting to that. Well, the first two homeowners, they filed police reports. Now, the third one-- this one here-- Trent Peters, he never called the cops, just the alarm company. The cops say that he runs guns for the Latin Kings and for La Raza. Wow. Looks like John robbed the wrong house. No, I've never seen him before. Are you sure? Listen, I told Mr. Jensen, I didn't have anything to do with those break-ins. So is it a coincidence that you worked on every single house that got robbed? John, you broke into a gunrunner's house, man. This guy did a nickel in Pelican Bay for attempted ***. What do you think he's gonna do to you, huh? I didn't break in John, start telling me the truth, or you and your buddy Ziggy Raines are going to jail, do you understand me? Danny, it's okay. Listen, John, it's very simple. Your son is in danger, okay? So tell us what happened. Maybe we can cut a deal. Ziggy told me to mess up a job. He said if I shorted a connection on a first-floor window, he'd give me a thousand bucks. I thought it was a one-time thing. Hey, man, you know that McMansion we got on the books? Yeah, the, uh, Great Neck house. Yeah, the guy's got a mad coin collection, and he's got, like, old stuff mounted up on the wall. Stuff from France, you know, Europe. I know some people who would pay top dollar for that stuff. Do the same thing you did on the last house, I'll get you two grand. I-I can't, Zig-- our deal was for the one job. Oh, what, you don't need the cash? You know I do. All right, then, stop whining like a little *** and make it happen. What happens if I get caught, Ziggy? You gonna take care of Tess and my little man while I'm in prison? Ow! What the hell! You're hanging me out to dry here. I got a family! I don't give a crap about your family. Yeah, I know you don't. I only helped him with the first break-in, because we're constantly strapped for cash. And I know how hard it is on Tess. And I thought it would give us some breathing room. Look, you have to make Ziggy give that gunrunner back his stuff. Ziggy's missing. And I'll bet he rolled on you. And for the last ten hours, you've been wasting time your son doesn't have. We just got the instructions for the drop. The kidnappers asked for $100,000. How are we supposed to come up with that kind of money? Mr. Pratt has offered to pay the ransom. Why-Why would my father offer to do that? I let him meet Andrew. You did what? Please don't. Not now. Behind my back, Tess? Hey, you guys, you need to get a grip. Your son is out there, and he needs you. So put aside the family drama and listen. SAMANTHA: Okay, you have one of two choices. You can take the money Mr. Pratt's offering, give it to the kidnappers, hope they stay true to their word and return Andrew. Or? Or we can put a transmitter in with your father's money, or dummy money, and if they get away we can follow them. We should do that, then. There's a downside-- if they find the transmitter, it could make things a lot worse. What do youthink we should do? I can't tell you what to do, Tess. It's not my son out there. But if it was. If it was, I would want to be sure that they were followed. Where the hell is he? Don't worry about it-- he's only five minutes late. (phone rings) What should I do? JACK: Answer it. Hello? MAN: Go to 119 Lafayette at the corner of Prince. What? You have five minutes. What? You said If I see any cops, your son is dead. What did he say? He told me to go somewhere else. Where? Listen, we're not set up for this, okay? I need you to stall him. JACK: Danny, get after him. I got him. All right, Jack, I'm at a school on the corner of Lafayette and Prince. JACK: Are there any kids? Yeah, there's about 40 or 50. DANNY: Jack, I've got a visual on a possible suspect. JACK: Just hold your position. The money. Where's my son?! MAN: Stop screwing around and give me that damn bag! JACK: Mr. Pratt, just give him the bag and let him move out of here. Give me the freaking money! Not until I see my son! JACK: Just give him the bag. Give him the money. FBI! (woman screams) John! DANNY: He's getting away! He's getting away! everybody get back a black ? ll, I don't know. All right, listen, just cl jume back, all right r You call MTA? TAHave them cover the bridges and tolls? Yeah. How's he doing? We, he got hit in the neck above the Kevlar, but he got lucky. It missed the carotid. I found the transmitter it five blocks stlo of ohere in a Dumpster. . Okay, I'm gonna vego Elena cross-reference the motorcycle with criminal records. Okay. Found thatfast. He mushaHeve known what he was looking for. Anything on the biker yeke No, I'm still working on it. Well, it's looking less and less like the grandfather and his cronies had anything to do with this. (sighs) These two guys were on a business trip the last three days. This guy, Rodney Cole, was confirmed at Disney World. And then there's Jason Trainer. Where was he? Hernia surgery-- he wasn hethe hospale the day that Arethw got grabbed. Okay, what about Vance? Harlan Vance. I'm still waiting in for a call-back, but I got to tell you, these guysune in packs, and . . I just don't think he would do it without his friends. Okay. So what's happening with Trent Peters, the gunrunner? I talkedo taATF They're still trying to locate him. (computer beeps) Hm. E-mail. Tess Pratt financials. She took money out of Andrew's college fund four days ago. How much did she take out? A thousand dollars omrs a branch on 16th and Broadway. Four days ago. Well, accoin, g to the information she gave us, she wasn't in the city that day. She was visiting a cousin in Philadelphia. (kck ing) in Can we talk for a minute? One of my colleagues spoke to your cousin, Jill. You haven't been in Philadelphia since February. What are you hiding, Tess? Nothing. Oh, so maybe you arranged the kidnapping so that you and John could get out of debt. I would never put my son in danger. So why did you take money out of his college fund? I can't tell you. No? Then I'm left to assume that it had something to do with his kidnapping. Please. Look at him. Your husband is in critical condition, and your son is still out there somewhere. Whatever it is, you need to tell me. I got pregnant. I found out three weeks ago. (sighs) I remember what it was like when we found out about Andrew. It was a surprise. But then we were so excited. But this it just seemed impossible. Is he sleeping yet? Yeah. Hifever's finally gone. I was thinking, if we put the crib in the alcove, we'll have to push Andrew's bed into the corner. That should work. Except it's drafty. He'll be sick all the time. I'll buy some window sealant and fill in the cracks. It'll still be cold. What do you want me to do, Tess? I don't know. I just hate taking away what little space he already has. Then maybe we'll have to move. How are we going to afford that? With the baby, there'll be hospital bills, clothes, diapers. I'll work more hours. There aren't any more hours. You barely see Andrew as it is. Look, I don't have a good solution right now, Tess. All right? Not at Come on, let's go back to bed. I'm gonna stay out here for a bit and make sure his fever doesn't come back. Okay. Good night. We were barely holding on. Having another kid right now I didn't know how we were gonna get through it. And then what would that mean for Andrew? I told John I miscarried. (voice breaking): And I made an appointment to have an abortion. I spent the night in a hotel room, and I hired a nurse to look after me. Why didn't you just tell John the truth? I know my husband. He would have blamed himself for being unable to support his family. John has already given up so much. I wasn't gonna do that to him. So that's why you called Mr. Pratt to get the money. I couldn't afford it on my own. Why didn't you tell me all this before? You people already think I'm a terrible mother. How was telling you I had an abortion going to help my son? ELENA: So I just got off the phone with Atlantic City PD-- they picked up Ziggy Raines. He have an alibi? He'd been there for three days. Lost a lot of money at the blackjack tables. Well, we got a pop on the bike. Take a look-- there are five Ducati owners in the city. Two match the same model and color as our kidnapper. The names are Ian McDonald and Robert Gilchrist. What, like Tess's friend, Erin Gilchrist? I don't know, but he's got a record. (muffled gasping, whimpering) Clear. Erin, we know your brother did 31 months at Rikers for embezzlement and extortion. He was staying clean. I don't think either of you were clean. I think you teamed up, abducted the child, he double-crossed you, took the money and ran. I didn't know Bob had Andrew until an hour ago. How'd you find out? He called me. Look, I'm telling you the truth. He heard John got shot. He asked me to call the hospital to see if he was okay. You didn't believe him? It had just happened. I only knew because Tess called me. So I I came over. MAN: What was I supposed to do, huh? I told you we've got to get rid of him! WOMAN: Okay, baby, he's just a kid. I-I'll watch out for him, okay? Are you out of your mind? Oh, my God. What the hell are you doing here? Bobby, what did you do? Hey. Buddy, it's gonna be okay-- just be brave. Get the hell out of here. Let go of me! This is none of your business! None of my business? You kidnapped my best friend's kid! We weren't gonna hurt him-- we were gonna let him go as soon as we got out of town. Right, Bob? Yeah. What happened to your promise? "I'm gonna stay clean, Erin. " "I'm gonna make it work this time. " So what, you think this is easy? Getting out of the joint and getting a decent job? Just give me the kid, Bobby. Maybe she's right, baby. You shut your mouth! And you, you need to leave. I'm calling the cops. (screams) I should have called you guys before I came. I was hoping it wasn't true. Erin how did your brother know that the Pratts had access to money? Because of me. I told him how her father-in- law was loaded. Where do you think he'd go now? I don't know. So we got a hit on Gilchrist's girlfriend's EasyPass. The car is heading north on the New Jersey Turnpike. Do we know if Gilchrist and the kid are with her? We're not sure, but we found his motorcycle parked outside the apartment. That could be a good sign. If he killed the kid, he would have left him in the apartment. We've got locals staking out family and friends in the area. His sister turned him in. I doubt that he'll go to family. Just got out of Rikers, right? Um, eight eight months ago? Mm-hmm. Yeah. Okay, we should put together a list of his prison associates. All right, let's do it. Okay. (beeping steadily) Erin's brother? He found out that John's dad has got money. So he's probably been following you guys, waiting for an opportunity to grab Andrew. (phone ringing) Excuse me. Hey. MARTIN: Hey, Viv, we tracked an outgoing call from the girlfriend's cell to a guy named Chad Sever. Who's he? Gilchrist's cellmate at Rikers. Have you spoken to him? I haven't been able to pin him down yet, but I ran the guy's holdings, and he owns a warehouse space in Newark, and it does track with their last known whereabouts. We've got a team headed there right now. Okay. We need to get some food. Sally! Sally! Where are you?! (whimpering) Sally! Where the hell are you?! Get the hell out here! (door opening) Freeze, FBI! Get the hell out of here! Put your weapon down and come out with your hands up. I said get out! You don't think I'll shoot? Where's the boy? I don't know. She must have taken him. Sally! Listen to me. Put your weapon down. It's the only way out of here! No! (multiple gunshots) Danny, see if you can find the kid. You got it. (sobbing) It's okay. Shh-shh-shh. Don't cry. It's gonna be okay. Don't cry. Shh-shh. Andrew. Andrew, hi. My name is Danny. I want my mommy. I'm going to take you to her. Come on. Let him go. I kept him safe. I wouldn't let Bob hurt him. All right, that's great, but right now, I need you to let him go. Come on. Let's go. Come on, come on. Andrew. Mommy! Oh, I missed you so much. So much. Let me look at you. Where's Daddy? He's sleeping, baby. But maybe I can take you to him and you can help me wake him up, hmm? Okay. Thank you. The kid seems to be okay, huh? It's amazing how resilient they can be.
