Jen's not doing so well.
I want you to talk to her.
I know it's never gonna be
the same for you,
but it's gonna get better.
You promise?
Giusti *** her.
I'm familiar
with the details, Jack.
It's my case.
Yeah, well, I want to be able
to give this girl something.
Mr.
McCann?
Can you hear me?
If you can hear me,
turn your head again.
I need Dr.
Postema
in here right now.
Jay?
Jay?
You're safe, okay?
Okay.
You're in a hospital.
My name's Dr.
Postema.
Are you feeling any pain?
Just blink once for yes
once for yes or twice for no.
No.
Okay, I got that.
You're doing fine.
Just try to relax.
Let's get a full
blood workup on him.
You're here because you had
a car accident a while ago.
You're gonna be all right.
Your vision's gonna be
a little blurry.
Can you follow the light for me?
Great.
Jay, I'd like to ask you
some questions just
to get a sense of things.
Is that all right?
Yes.
Unbelievable.
You don't have to talk
if it's more comfortable
not to, okay?
All right.
Were you born in 1970?
Yes.
So you married in '03?
No.
'02.
That's right.
And you remember why you're here?
Car crash?
Okay.
I think that's probably
enough for now.
Get some rest.
When?
When was the accident?
It was three years ago.
Kimberly.
Oh, my God!
Oh, my God!
Jay
- morning.
- Morning.
Glad I caught you.
How you feeling?
Better than I did a few months ago.
You're making incredible
progress, just incredible.
How's the memory?
You know,
a few things haven't come back.
Small price to pay, right?
I met with your care team, and memory
aside, you're almost back to 100%.
I'm recommending
you be discharged.
Great.
Hardest part's over.
Thank you, Dr.
Postema.
Have a nice walk.
I will.
Onward and upward.
What's up?
You remember that guy that woke up
from a coma about a month ago?
Yeah.
That was a big story.
I read about it in the Post
Jay something.
McCann.
Jay McCann.
Don't tell me
he's our missing person.
Woke up this morning,
went for a walk, never came back.
Has he ever wandered off
like this before?
According to his doctors, no.
- It's bizarre.
- The whole thing's bizarre.
He was about to be discharged,
and from what I hear,
he was really looking forward
to going home, so
You know, they said
his chances of waking up from coma
are like a million to one,
and now he goes missing.
What are the odds of that?
Without A Trace Season 6 Episode 15
- Deja Vu -
You're walking like an elephant.
You're gonna wake him up.
Then you try carrying this.
It's heavy.
- I'm not supposed to lift anything.
- Yeah.
How convenient.
What are you guys doing here?
We're just dropping this off
for you.
Everybody from the office.
Yeah, you're in here for, a week?
So we thought it
would be cheerful.
Also your
concerned colleagues
all signed this.
Concerned that I got shot,
or concerned that I'm coming back?
- A little bit of both, actually.
- Yeah.
Two-minute warning
on your sponge bath, Mr.
Malone.
I'm getting a sponge bath
from the drill sergeant.
Want to stick around?
No.
- Feel better, okay?
- Yeah.
Thanks for your support.
You have one new message.
Agent Malone, this is Jen Long.
I really need to talk to you.
You think he was kidnapped?
Well, his recovery made the news
and so did the fact
that he's a wealthy businessman.
And there are people
out there who
think they can get
a ransom sometime.
What people? Who would do that?
Was he having any conflicts
with anyone at the rehab center?
Patients, staff members?
No.
They've been great.
They're very supportive.
Has he been worried or upset
about anything?
He's been a little nervous,
I guess, about starting a new life.
Starting a new life
or going back to the old one?
Jay was
He's very driven.
Selfish at times,
but he's a different man now.
Different because of the coma?
He went through a life-changing event,
and he came out of it
a much kinder person.
Right.
And was your husband having problems
of any kind prior to the accident?
What do you mean?
Well, his disappearance might be
connected to his life back then.
He ran a successful
parts manufacturing company,
correct?
Is it possible that he
that he had any troubles
with business rivals or colleagues
that you're aware of?
Nothing major,
but that's all ancient history.
We sold the company
after the accident.
And what about the accident? Was
there anything suspicious about that?
Not the accident
but Jay was acting strange
that night.
Jay, where are you?
- How long until you get here?
- I don't know, Kim.
It depends on traffic,
road construction,
every other thing
that's gone wrong tonight.
Monaghan's about to start his speech.
They give out the award in half an hour.
You're gonna have to cover for me.
What?!
Just
take the award, tell them
what an honor it is writing huge checks
so ghetto kids can go to college.
Tell them children are
our future, some crap like that.
Jay, you have to be here.
What the hell is going on?
I don't need this right now.
Just
I'll get there when I get there.
An hour later,
the state police called.
He'd hit a tree.
The accident took place
outside Kingston.
He was headed north away
from the city.
- What was he doing out there?
- I have no idea.
And he was supposed to be
the guest of honor
at an awards ceremony that night?
Why would he blow that off?
You have a theory about that?
I don't.
I wish I did.
Mrs.
McCann, look,
if you know anything,
anything at all,
you need to tell me,
because it'll help us find your husband.
The car was totaled.
When I went
to get our things out of it,
I found a cashier's check
in Jay's briefcase.
It was for $100,000
made out to cash.
And who was
this cashier's check from?
It was from Jay.
It turns out he'd had it drawn up
earlier that day.
I don't know who it was for,
but wherever he was going,
it must have had to do with that money.
And had you talked
to him about it?
Jay has no memory
from that period.
So far, the staff at the rehab center
alibi out.
McCann is a real mascot.
Everybody loves him.
Well, you know,
he wasn't always so cuddly.
He bought a struggling factory,
and turned it into a major supplier
for aircraft parts,
but you know know he did that?
By moving
all the local production overseas.
That must have pissed
some people off.
Like the 500 workers
who lost their jobs?
More than that if you count
the other firms he drove bankrupt,
not to mention
the lawsuits claiming he won
Pentagon contracts through bribery.
Maybe that hundred grand
was a bribe.
Okay, let's look into
all the people he pissed off.
Maybe somebody's holding a grudge.
Spade.
Hey, Samantha.
I think that Jen Long is in trouble.
- What kind of trouble?
- Not really sure.
She
She left me a message.
She thinks she's being followed.
I tried to call her back,
but she hasn't returned.
Same thing with her mother.
I was just wondering if you could
could head out there
and just check up on her.
Well
Jack, I'm kind of in the middle
of a case here, but I can
I mean, I can I can get NYPD
to send a car, check things out.
Yeah, sure.
That'll be fine.
Okay, well, I'll-I'll let you know
when I when I hear something.
Okay.
Great.
And did your brother ever talk about
anybody threatening him?
Of course not.
Look, do you guys know
what happened to him?
If you do, you've got to tell me.
We're not sure yet.
Where was your brother going
the night of accident?
The accident
has something to do with this?
It's possible, yeah.
I never figured out
what he was doing out there.
I can't even believe it happened.
I mean, Jay was indestructible.
Like he'd be the one guy
to walk away from a plane crash.
Do you know why he had
a hundred grand with him?
I didn't know that he did.
You did work at the
company with him, right?
Yeah, I was just a sales rep.
I wasn't exactly in the loop.
According to the log at rehab center,
you were the last person to see him.
How did he seem to you?
He'd been super positive
about his future.
He was going to take
a job at my company.
Then it all kind
of went out the window.
Listen,
you're going to have
to find someone else.
Come on, Jay.
This isn't me throwing you a bone.
I see us becoming partners.
I thought I could pick
up where things left off, but
- I can't.
- Why not?
Look at you, man:
You're back; you're healthy.
You got kim waiting for you.
Too much has changed.
I've changed.
I don't know
where I fit in anymore.
All we're talking about here
is a job.
What the hell's going on?
I'm remembering things, Kev.
What kind of things?
I don't know
bits, pieces.
Things I don't want to remember.
I'm afraid of where it's going.
He kind of shut down after that.
So he never mentioned
what these memories were about
or what he was scared of?
I should've stayed,
made him tell me what was wrong.
If I had, I'd know
where he is right now.
NYPD drove by Jen's house.
No one was home, but there was
no sign of forced entry
or any sign of trouble.
They probably did a drive-by.
They didn't even go inside.
No, Jack,
I spoke to the desk sergeant.
Yeah, you should've gone down.
Listen,
if you really need me to go,
and I mean need me to go,
maybe I can break away
in a few hours, all right?
No, it's fine.
I just
I'm probably just overthinking it.
Sorry for being a pain in the ***.
Yeah, don't worry.
I'm used to it.
Thanks.
Viv, all right, so I just got off
the phone with Jay's shrink.
He said Jay came to him wanting help
remembering the car accident.
He told him he would help him,
but since it was a traumatic event,
he would have to take it slow,
take their time.
Jay loses it; he gets pissed off,
and he walks out of the session;
end of story.
Sounds like the crash
is at the center of this thing.
Well, let's reinterview
all the staff.
Maybe jay spoke to someone else
about what was going on.
- You got it.
- I found something.
So we got video from
the route mccann walked.
Look at this.
It was taken from a building security
camera a mile from the rehab center.
Now we know
what we're dealing with.
Okay.
Thanks, man.
Yeah, I'll see you later.
Well, that was Danny.
No one at the rehab center seems
to recognize this guy.
I'll tell you, judging
from their body language in the video,
these two might know each other.
Maybe it's someone
from his old life.
There's no matches so far.
Well, Martin, the day is young,
and a lot of people
hated this guy.
Well, maybe he's not from his past.
None of McCann's
ex-colleagues recognize him.
Neither did his wife or his brother.
I'm not so sure; these are
Kimberly McCann's phone records.
She talked to a Bruce Meyer a lot.
And after the husband woke up,
the phone calls tripled.
Well, it could be the same guy.
Yeah?
Agent malone?
- What happened?
- Doesn't matter.
I got a message from Jen.
Is she okay?
- Yeah, she's fine.
- She doesn't sound fine.
I tried to call her back.
I tried to call you.
My voice mail isn't working.
Will you cut the crap?
All right, I need to know
what's going on and I need to know now.
Put yourself in her shoes.
What do you think's going on?
Look, I am trying
to help your daughter.
Then leave her alone.
Okay, she's a mess because you people
just won't let her move on.
Jen?
Jen, what's the matter, honey?
This.
This is what's the matter.
I found it on your nightstand.
Sweetie, it came yesterday.
- And I didn't want to upset you
- It's that Romar guy.
I don't even know him.
I don't know anything about him.
It's okay.
I gone call to our lawyer
to see what our options are.
They're going to make me testify.
I'll have to answer questions
in front of people, and I'll have
to talk about everything that happened.
I can't
Come here.
Please, you have to help me.
She's on a witness list now.
I know what that means.
Romar's people
could track her down.
I had no idea
that this was going on.
Look at me.
Romar did this.
If he catches up with Jen,
he's going to kill her.
She's safe where she is.
I don't think so.
You need to listen to this.
Agent Malone, this is Jen.
I really need to talk to you.
I just
went for a run, and I saw this guy.
I saw him yesterday, too,
and I think he might be following me.
I'm really scared to go home
and I don't know what to do, so
my battery's dying
I'll call you back when I
my god
So you convinced now?
Where is she?
I sent her
to my sister Beth's apartment.
Okay.
Take a look, Mr.
Meyer.
It's not me.
- That's not my car, either.
- Let me see.
Looks like you.
And I'm sure you're familiar
with this man.
So is anyone
who reads the newspaper.
Yeah, but the difference is
you're the one who seems
to be unusually close with his wife.
So I have her credit card
records here,
and it shows me
first-class air travel,
weekend getaways
Okay.
She and I
we had a relationship.
You're a lucky guy, huh?
Well, you go from a teacher's salary
to meeting Mrs.
McCann and then,
vacationing in Bora Bora.
- I love Kimberly.
- Listen, the point is
her husband waking up
was a big problem for you.
So you took him out
of the picture.
I'd like to call an attorney.
Now.
You better get a good one.
Bruce meyer just got himself
a lawyer.
So you have a brief window
of opportunity
to come clean
before he cuts himself a deal.
I didn't do anything to Jay.
Why'd we believe you?
You've lying through your teeth?
I didn't lie.
I told you the truth.
I missed the part about the affair.
- It wasn't anyone's business.
- Yeah, well, it is now.
Now, where is he?
Is he dead? Where's his body?
Your husband wakes up against all odds
thinking he has a second chance
and the entire time you and
your boyfriend plan to get rid him.
- It wasn't like that.
- Then what was it like?
He knew about bruce.
I told him about a week ago.
You wouldn't believe
the mail I've been getting.
People who don't know me
from Adam are writing me letters.
I can't believe how lucky I am.
Jay
remember the other day
when you were talking about Italy?
I know what you're going to say.
I picked Italy
without even asking you.
I don't want to be like that.
Wherever you want to visit,
that's where we'll go.
It's your call.
I have to tell you something.
I've been seeing someone.
You're in love with him?
I didn't mean for it to happen.
But all the doctors said
you wouldn't get better,
and it's, it's not like I could hang on
to how great things were.
I cheated on you, didn't I?
That's not the reason.
I remember these things.
I'm
just not sure if they're real.
They're real.
It'll be different this time, Kim.
Please, just
you have to give me a chance.
I stopped seeing Bruce.
I wanted to try
and make things work.
So then maybe Bruce got upset
and decided to take things
into his own hands?
What about these letters
that Jay was talking about?
They were cards, mostly from people
who'd heard about him waking up.
They were really starting to pile up,
so he asked me to take them home.
Well, we're going
to need to see them.
So Bruce Meyer's alibi'd out:
He was preparing a lecture
when Jay went missing.
Well, that takes us back
to square one with that guy.
I know.
You know, when his wife
sa that he got a few cards,
I mean,
she wasn't kidding, was she?
Well, strangers from all over
the world sending their prayers.
Some of them
are quite moving, though.
Okay, you know, this is
the third card I see from this guy here.
He really wants to see Jay.
He's getting pretty aggressive about it.
What's his name?
Doug Gilbert.
Doug Gilbert
you know, I've got a couple here
from Doug Gilbert.
- Let me check something.
- Doug Gilbert.
This is him.
This could be him.
FBI!
I'm a federal agent.
I'm a federal agent.
I'm a federal agent federal agent.
Terry sent me.
Terry sent me; I'm with the FBI.
It's okay.
It's okay.
You all right?
I thought you were that man.
What man?
He came here looking for Jen.
When was this?
I don't know, like,
- half hour maybe.
- It's okay.
I tried to tell him that she didn't
live here.
He didn't believe me.
Look, sit down.
He found Jen's purse.
He wanted to know where she was.
He just started hitting me
and hitting me,
and then he said he was going
to kill my sister, and I got,
I got so scared
I couldn't control myself.
What'd you tell him?
I told him that she sometimes hangs
in the park with her friends.
Is this the guy?
Yeah.
Yeah, that's him.
Raight with you guys.
I have no idea where Jay is.
Mr.
Gilbert, this is a picture of you
holding him at gunpoint, okay?
This isn't exactly a whodunit.
- I have no reason to hurt him.
- No reason? You were obsessed with him.
You sent him a dozen letters
and he didn't respond to a single one,
so you put a gun against his
head and demanded his attention.
This photo alone should be enough
to convince a jury.
I didn't kill Jay.
I used the gun to,
to get his attention.
Once I explained what I wanted,
it wasn't necessary.
My wife and I took Alex
to a cousin's place
for labor day weekend.
We were all out by the pool
lots of family.
We were throwing a few back.
Maybe I wasn't
watching close enough.
He was climbing the ladder
to the waterslide.
The railing was rusted out.
He fell back.
He hit his head on the pavement.
I'm so sorry.
It must have been hell.
Yeah.
He's been like this for two years.
The doctors tell me
he'll never wake up.
But they said that about you,
too, and here you are.
I was hoping that if you could
spend a little time with him
and talk to him a little,
maybe that would encourage him.
I'm not sure what I would say.
Just
tell him how you woke up.
I told you
I don't know how that happened.
But there's a reason you're back.
You have to share that.
It could help my son.
Please.
I don't know why I'm back.
I used to have these
questions.
Maybe that's it.
Maybe I'm
back to answer for something.
I'm sorry.
Your son
deserves it more than I do.
I don't know
what I expected from him.
I guess I thought he could
unlock things for Alex,
show him it was okay to wake up.
Did he say
what these questions were about?
No, I-I
he didn't seem to have much
of a handle on them.
What happened after?
He sat with Alex for a while.
There was nothing.
Then he asked for a ride to Soho.
Where in Soho?
Hey, Tony Hawk, why don't you keep
your deck to your side of the park?
That's where you belong!
Hey, dope man's around the way
by the handball courts there, scabby.
Have you seen this girl?
I ain't seen nobody, man,
keep looking.
I want you to do me a favor.
About ten people say
that you have seen her.
It's Jen, all right?
She hangs out around here, okay?
When's the last time you saw her?
I don't know, man, okay?
I don't keep tabs on people.
Are you gonna be a good boy
and just stand there?
I'm cool.
I want you to look at this guy.
You seen him?
Lots of people come in the park, man,
I can't see everybody.
This guy is coming here
to kill Jen Long.
If he does
because you slowed me down,
I'm gonna come back here
and I swear to god
I'm gonna kill you.
You wanna look again?
Yeah, okay,
that guy was here.
You guys
you guys know a girl named
Jennifer Long?
Who are you?
I was jogging this morning,
I found her wallet under a park bench,
just thought I'd
return it.
Why don't you give us the wallet?
We'll make sure
she gets it back for you.
Thanks, I'd rather
give it to her myself.
We're just trying to help.
You can tell me
when she will be around,
that'd be a help
unless you'd rather
sort this out some other way.
Try back around 4:00.
Okay
Great!
Thanks, kids.
How long ago?
Yeah, well
Thanks for the help, tough guy.
Jack, what the hell is going on?
I've called you like eight times.
The hospital said you just left.
I need backup.
Why?
Giusti's trying to stop
Jen Long from testifying.
That's why she called me.
All right, where are you?
I'm in Tompkins Square Park
northeast corner.
We'll meet you there.
Okay.
Excuse me sir, is this your place?
Sure is.
I'll let you borrow it
for $2600 a month.
$2600, that's
that's a little too steep for me,
I'm on a government salary.
My name's special agent Taylor,
I'm with the FBI.
Have you seen this man?
Someone dropped him off earlier today.
Yeah, he came by.
I get the first and last months' rents,
no pets, no parties
Be ready in a couple of days.
If that sounds like you,
you can
grab an application there.
You all right?
I remember this.
Who used to live here?
Guy named Mike.
Before that
Three years ago?
Three years ago
Let's see, it must be
Robin.
Robin who?
Cassidy, if I remember.
Robin Cassidy
Do you know where I can find her?
I told him I didn't.
Which way did he go?
Same way he came in.
I didn't follow him.
Thank you.
- What's up?
- Hey, man.
- Everything's all right?
- Yeah, listen,
I need you to run a name for me.
Hit me.
Robin Cassidy,
she used to live here three years ago.
All right, I got her.
Okay, you have a current address?
Yeah, you're there now.
Robin Cassidy was reported missing
three years ago on
yeah, hang on a second
She was reported missing the same night
that Jay had his accident.
Her name is Robin Cassidy,
she's 32 years old,
she's born in Minnesota
and her father reported her missing
three years ago.
Was Jay named in the disappearance?
No, but I don't think anybody
dug too deep into her case.
According to her father,
she came to New York
to pursue a career in modeling
and when that didn't work out,
she settled for a life of stripping,
*** ; you know how it goes.
Guys, I just went
through her credit card statements
and there's a bunch of charges
to a Riverbrook Hotel
for the months
prior to her disappearance.
Let me check these
Okay, it's located just off I-87,
that's six miles north
of where Jay's car accident happened.
He was headed northbound, he must
have been going there to meet her.
Well, let's see
if we can place him at the hotel.
Excuse me.
Have you seen this girl?
- Sorry.
- Take a closer look.
I'm in the middle of my run, man.
Have you seen this girl?
She's about five-foot-two
You need some water, buddy?
Water?
Yeah.
Thank you.
You have any news about my brother?
We got plenty of news,
but most of it relates to you.
You've been lying to us
about the night
of your brother's accident.
He was on his way
to the Riverbrook Hotel with $100 000.
We checked the hotel registry and guess
who booked a room there that night?
Yeah, you.
We also know
that Robin Cassidy was with you
and she hasn't been seen since,
and we think you're the reason.
Okay.
So, how does this work?
Should I get a lawyer in here?
It's better for you
if you cooperate, but
it's entirely up to you.
You're on the right track
about Robin Cassidy,
Jay was involved with her.
In a way, we both were.
Jay, what the hell's going on?
Everyone's looking for you.
Son of a ***!
Are you kidding me?
I heard you, Kevin.
I heard you!
What did you hear?
Riverbrook Hotel,
Robin Cassidy,
the money
You're not well, Jay.
Let it go.
I woke up with these
fragments,
pieces of things in my head.
I started to put them together.
I thought it was something that I did.
And then I realized
it was a story,
a story I'd heard before.
I got this problem, Jay.
Robin Cassidy
Remember?
The girl from Soho?
Got tired of sleeping with her,
and she wanted
a hundred grand to go away.
Should have been simple.
Meet at the Riverbrook,
you give her the money,
I drop her off at the airport.
Done.
But you never showed up.
She started to get pissed,
making noise about telling Kimberly,
coming after your company,
maybe even saying you *** her.
She tried to leave and
I pushed her away from the door
and she tripped.
She hit her head.
I had to get rid of her, Jay.
She was gonna ruin your life.
I wake up every day seeing her face.
I tell myself:
"Kevin, you did what you had to do.
Jay is your brother.
"
I'm so sorry, Kevin.
I'm sorry I put you there.
Forget it.
You'd have done the same
for me, right?
So now, what?
We go to the police.
Come on, Jay, shut up.
That girl had a family.
They deserve to know
what happened to her.
We got to make this right.
I can't do it.
- Kevin
- I can't, Jay.
I'm not gonna stop you,
but I can't turn myself in.
This all happened because of me.
I'll make sure they know that.
I don't know how Jay told it,
but that's how it happened.
What do you mean,
how Jay told it?
To the police.
I don't know what he said,
but my version's the truth.
Jay never talked to the police.
What?
That's why you brought me in.
Where did this meeting
with Jay happen?
Seventh and Bleeker.
Let's go.
So where were we?
You were telling me
that time would pass,
and I'd feel better.
Sounds like such a platitude
when you put it that way.
You meant well.
Isn't it time for you to go?
He came in as a John Doe after transit
police found him on the F train.
Commuters thought he passed out drunk.
Any idea how long he was on the train?
Apparently, he rode to the end
of the line and back again
at least a couple of times.
Were there any sign of injuries?
Nothing obvious,
but given his past condition,
any kind of head trauma
could be catastrophic.
- His wife just arrived.
- All right.
Thanks, Doctor.
Mrs.
McCann?
Just wanted to see
how you were holding up.
How did this happen?
We're not really sure.
His
his wallet was missing,
so it's possible he was mugged, but
I begged for him
to come back to me,
and he did.
Why is this happening?
I'm very sorry.
Jen, hi.
I'm Samantha.
I'm with the FBI.
I wanted to let you know that your mom
is going to meet you at the hospital.
Did he kill him?
Yeah.
He's gone.
Thank you.
Sure.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Is she okay?
Pretty good,
all things considered.
Good.
You know, I
I'm gonna ride with you.
Go home.
I'll be fine.
