TRANSCRIPT:
==========================

The episode starts with a re-cap of the last episode “fugitive”. Janey walks into the drug store, the rest of the team realizes she went in by herself; Nicole goes after the man with the gun while Antonio finds Janey. The man soon shoots the wiring for the power and all the lights turn off. Jess and Nicole hear a shot being fired and they run to Antonio and Janey. The man seems to be dead. Nicole calls out for Antonio and almost immediately sees that he kneeling in front of Janey’s dead bleeding body.

Memories of Janey come on and off screen while the forensics team cleans up and inspects Janey. They forensics team wraps Janey up. The sign “two days later” comes onto the screen.

Antonio: I hate funerals.

Nicole: ever met anyone who likes them?

Antonio: yeah but I really hate funerals.

Nicole: especially when it’s someone young, whole life ahead of her.

(They talk in the small room full of the vending machines and several small tables)

Antonio: makes you want to look for answers.

Nicole: Good luck finding them.

(Jess walks into the room where she finds Nicole and Antonio present)

Jess: what time’s the service?

Nicole: not until two. Anyway it can’t be any worse than the wake.

Antonio: aw man, the family.

Nicole: at least you know where she came from.

Antonio: intense, very goal oriented.

Jess: climbers (she comments).

(There is silence for a second as Nicole looks awkwardly at Jess)

Jess: I didn’t mean for that to sound as bad as it did.

Nicole: it’s true.

Jess: yeah but you can say it. You liked her; she liked you.

Nicole: oh, Jess come on, you know deep down that she liked you too.

Jess: no she didn’t.

Antonio: and you liked her… kind of.

Jess: what ever I say about her right now is wrong. I mean if I talk about how much I loved her, I’m lying and I can’t talk about our real relationship. I didn’t know what to say to her parents.

Nicole: you didn’t have to say anything. They’re cooping; they felt like she was doing her duty. Maybe it’s their answer; a code that helps them translate what they’re feeling into something bearable.

(Pollock is on the side mixing coffee and such and overhearing their conversation)

Pollock: there are few things that instill strength like a code of honor.

Jess: yeah but you still gotta deal with things sooner or later, and they’re gonna deal with you.

Pollock: Freudian myth, do not give in to that stuff. And our jobs, we cannot be weighed down by our feelings, we never know when we could be needed.

(Pollock walks away into a room supposedly is office)

Next scene: a small coffee shop on the bottom floor of a small business. A blonde woman who works for the business spots her boss and begins to talk to him.

Jillian: Hey boss.

Man: Jillian, hey. What’s in the box?

Jillian: it’s Tuesday.

Man: does that mean blueberry?

Jillian: corn. Blueberry muffins on Thursdays. Coffee status?

Man: (as he looks over the counter) In progress.

Jillian: I’ll go open up; I want those Benson acts faxed and ready before the court’s staff stumbles into the office.

Man: okay wait for me, it’s just a coffee.

Jillian: Medium black takes four seconds. Yours with all the latte grandé, mocha, no fat, choco-decaf—

Man: --takes four minutes. Okay I’ll see you up there.

(The man soon comes upstairs)

Man: ah, Jillian those look great!

(He picks up a muffin and sees the fax machine working but cannot find Jillian).

Man: Jillian? (Once again) Jillian?

(The man sets his coffee and muffin down and goes to check the stairs)

Man: Jillian?

Woman: help me. Please.

(The man rushes down the stairs)

Man: oh my god, are you alright?

Woman: he took her.

Man: who?

Woman: a man, he knocked me down and took her.

(The man/boss helps her up)

Man: what did he look like?

Woman: I don’t know.

(The boss rushes back to his desk and picks up the phone but then he hears some screaming coming from outside. He rushes to the window and sees a someone getting into a car and eagerly driving away)

OPENING CREDITS

Pollock: this is a low level case but I want you to take it. Her name is Jillian Chef apparently abducted less than one hour ago from her place of employ.

Nicole: sir, Janey’s funeral is today.

Pollock: still hours away. The best way to deal with grief is to work it to death.

Jess: but sir this wrong.

Pollock: is it? (Pollock starts to walk away but the two follow). What do you think the late Agent Cooper would have said if it were your funeral instead of hers? Would she say “we should neglect our work and wallow in emotion”?

Jess: well we don’t know sir, she’s not here (very sure of herself).

Pollock: or would she have done her job?

Jess: sir she wasn’t the most sensitive—

Pollock: --I don’t think you want to finish that sentence agent, not on this of all days.

(He continues walking now more dogged)

Nicole: okay sir, what do we know?

Pollock: Cortez?

Antonio: yes, the victim disappeared from her the office of employer Ellis Easton, a noted criminal attorney.

Pollock: aha, criminal attorney. That pretty much sums it up, doesn’t it?

Nicole: probably a lot of skeletons in that closet. 

Pollock: probably a whole ossuary. (He chuckles at his own joke until he realizes no own else is laughing). An ossuary is a depository for human bones; I thought a little humor might cut the tension.

Nicole: it didn’t sir.

Pollock: then allow me to add to it. The office of the Inspector General is still studying the death of Agent Cooper and is yet to make a finding.

Jess: sir, Janey died in action, I mean it was no one’s fault excep—

Nicole: --except possibly her own, sir.

Pollock: its procedure for one thing the want to make sure who fired the shot that killed her.

Nicole: are they saying it could be one of us?

Jess: because you know that every shell the Bureau issues is numbered.

Pollock: like every hair on your head.

Antonio: in forensics we cover all of them sir.

Pollock: right, you have nothing to worry about, except for Jillian Chef so let’s go find her.

Next scene: Nicole and Jess go interview the man who happens to be Ellis Easton.

Ellis Easton: we were in the coffee shop; we talked about the muffins she made.

Nicole: she brought muffins to work?

Ellis: yeah, she baked them from scratch a couple of times a week, is that significant?

Jess: no it’s just kind of a coincidence, we uh… we knew someone who did that.

Nicole: Mr. Easton you’ve defended some notorious people.

Ellis Easton: everyone’s entitled to council.

Nicole: true, but it could be helpful if you could—

Ellis Easton: --give you a list of all my clients for the last five years.

Nicole: thank you.

Jess: do you know anyone that might want to harm Ms. Chef.

Ellis Easton: um… unfortunately more than one. She married young, too young, the marriage failed—

Nicole: the husband’s name is?

Ellis Easton: Damian Chef, he’s uh… known to police, he’s holding her back. She has ambition, brains, she wants to make something of herself—

Nicole: --you said there was more than one.

Ellis Easton: yeah, yeah, Big Ray. Sorry don’t know his last name, he works in the building, maintenance, part time. He’s uh… not quite right.

Nicole: morally?

Ellis Easton: Claims to be in love with Jillian. He sends her notes, gifts. She can’t stand being around the guy.

Next scene: back at the Bureau…

Antonio: Big Ray is Raymond Kneehouse, thirty years old, high school drop-out, couple of misdemeanors, he was not scheduled to work today and he is not at his residence.

Nicole: what about that car Easton saw pulling away.

Antonio: it was a blue LeSabre late 80’s it was his best guess, I ran a BOLO out on it. Nothing like that registered with Kneehouse, doesn’t even have a license.

Jess: the husband?

Antonio: um… he has an ’03 Chrysler repossessed last month, he’s Damian Chef, last known address is no longer operative, his priors include a and B&E a D&D and a DUI.

Nicole: a whole low-life alphabet.

Antonio: um hmm

Nicole: anything on Jillian’s background?

Antonio: mother and sister still live in Tacoma, she moved here five years ago, doesn’t have many friends, she’s very career-oriented.

(Pollock walks in on the three)

Pollock: I have uh… good news and bad news. The I.G. has cleared all of you in the death of Agent Cooper.

Nicole: I should hope so.

Pollock: however in accordance with Bureau policy you each have to undergo a psychiatric evaluation.

Nicole: what for?

Pollock: a member of this unit died in the line of duty.

Antonio: Come on, don’t you think it’s bad enough?

Pollock: oh, I don’t like it anymore than you do but uh… since our culture now celebrates grief by wallowing in weakness and emotion, you have to do it.

Jess: is this psychiatrist aware that I have—

Pollock: --visions? Absolutely not, you just go in there and trick them into thinking that you are mentally stable and get on with it. And you two (to Nicole and Antonio) maybe you could keep your feelings to yourselves for a change.

(The three are left in quite awe for a few seconds after Pollock leaves the room until the phone rings. Antonio picks up)

Antonio: Cortez. Yeah hold on. (He puts his hand over the receiver and talks to Nicole and Jess) The ex-husband turned himself in.

Next scene: Nicole is in an interrogation room with the ex-husband Damian Chef

Damian Chef: so I called her, it’s legal.

Nicole: not if it’s harassment. I’m guessing she told you to stop.

Damian Chef: she would never do that. I loved her.

Nicole: you’re not married to her you know.

Damian Chef: everyone needs a chance. I’ll do anything I can to find her.

Nicole: tell me where you were this morning.

Damian Chef: I can’t.

Nicole: why not?

Damian Chef: cause it doesn’t sound good.

Nicole: it’ll sound better than not telling me. Now where were you?

Damian Chef: two drops of scotch

Nicole: a bar?

Damian Chef: yeah.

Nicole: at nine in the morning?

Damian Chef: if I’d known what was gonna happen, I would have been there, I would have done something to stop it.

Nicole: no one ever knows what’s going to happen, Mr. Chef. That’s why there’s so much sadness in this world.

Next scene: everyone is at Janey’s funeral. Honorable music plays in the background. Some sort of military force is there too. They fold an American flag that was over Janey’s coffin into a triangle. Pollock goes over to the head of the military force and takes the flag from him and gives it to a woman. Janey is lowered into her grave. The woman holding the flag who we can assume is Janey’s mother tosses a rose onto Janey’s tomb as do other people. Pollock picks up a rose and throws onto the tomb. Then Nicole does the same and Antonio right after her. Then Jess is shown picking up a rose. She is about to toss it in when suddenly a hand from the grave reaches and grabs her. Jess struggles to get lose from the hand. Finally she breaks away.

Break to Commercial

Next scene: Nicole and Jess head away from the funeral.

Nicole: okay look, calm down.

Jess: easy for you to say, you were not grabbed by a hand from the grave.

Nicole: neither were you it was just a vision.

Jess: no they’re not visions until you know they’re visions. When it happened it was a hand from the grave. (Pause) it felt really cold.

Nicole: Was there anything else?

Jess: I don’t want to talk about the vision. I want, I want a job in the food service industry. Something involving French fries and paper hats and no hands coming out of the ground.

Nicole: maybe it had something to do with the case Jess.

Jess: and maybe I was at Janey’s funeral who I couldn’t stand, but she was shot and killed so I feel guilty and so now she’s gonna haunt me forever, maybe that Nicole.

(Antonio walks up behind them)

Antonio: hey, you okay.

Nicole: yeah we’re just a little off today, you know, the funeral.

Antonio: yeah, right. Washington police found Big Ray, Raymond Kneehouse he was the janitor who was sending love letters to the missing woman.

Nicole: that’s good news.

Antonio: and it gets better. He wasn’t supposed to be at work today but I can place him in the missing woman’s office, as of this morning.

Nicole: how?

Antonio: dead skin. We shed little parts of skin all day long and skin cells die off at a specific rate once they’re off the body. It’s a more bitty rate once—

(Jess who seems agitated and uncomfortable during the whole conversation finally interrupts)

Jess: --okay not today, enough.

(Jess walks away still with a feeling of discomfort)

Next scene: Jess is in the interrogation room interviewing Raymond Kneehouse.

Jess: why were you at work on your day off?

Raymond Kneehouse: I forgot my paycheck. I went in early to get it then I left.

Jess: talk to anyone?

Raymond Kneehouse: no. I’m not… social.

Jess: you knew Jillian Chef.

Raymond Kneehouse: intimately.

Jess: and why would you use that word Mr. Kneehouse? You know it’s gonna set me off.

Raymond Kneehouse: I just mean I knew her from the inside, for her true self.

Jess: did you abduct her?

Raymond Kneehouse: absolutely not. I could never harm her.

Jess: she was afraid of you.

Raymond Kneehouse: I don’t thing that she was afraid of anything. She was strong, stronger than me. Soft-made you know.

Jess: we’re all soft-made Mr. Kneehouse.

Raymond Kneehouse: call me Ray.

Jess: we’re all who we decide to be.

(Nicole and Antonio are revealed and have apparently been watching the conversation the whole time)

Antonio: she’s losing it.

Nicole: we’re all losing it, we shouldn’t be working.

Antonio: this job never stops when it should. I’ve gotta say the guy’s… likeable.

Nicole: likeable and innocent are two different things.

(Pollock walks up behind them with a middle-aged blonde short-spike haired woman at his side)

Pollock: No cynicism agent, especially in front of the psychiatrist. This is Dr. Eleanor Reese, head of staff psyche evaluations, based in Quantico. She’s here to bring you light and hope. (Now to the psychiatrist) these are agents—

Dr. Reese: -- Cortez and Scott I know.

Pollock: I don’t, like to be interrupted.

Dr. Reese: and I don’t like to be challenged. (Realizes she’s said too much), Sorry that was inappropriate.

Pollock: you’re right.

Dr. Reese: I’m just feeling a little edgy today.

Pollock: okay well we are all, under a lot of stress here.

Dr. Reese: I-I recently quit smoking.

Antonio: how recently?

Dr Reese: oh… uh (looks at her watch) four and a quarter hours ago.

Antonio: congratulations.

Nicole: maybe you shouldn’t be doing this today?

Dr. Reese: No, no, I’m fine I’ve got the patch.

Pollock: tomorrow would be fine.

Dr. Reese: No, it has to be today. Bureau Policy is written for a reason.

Pollock: I know, I often right it.

Dr. Reese: we have to be sure that the public is protected against agents who’ve suffered drama and could be carrying guns.

Pollock: well the public has no worries here.

Dr. Reese: I’m-I’m sorry that you’re having this reaction to me.

Pollock: (agitated) I’m not having a reaction. I think you would know if I was having a reaction.

Nicole: (Interrupts) do you mind if I go first? We’re on a very demanding case.

Dr. Reese: certainly.

(Nicole holds her hand out to motion “after you”. Pollock whispers thank you to Nicole for interrupting and preventing him from flying of the handle. The two women walk away leaving Antonio and Pollock)

Antonio: uh… sir here’s the uh… files you—

Pollock: Just a second agent.

(Pollock starts to walk away and Antonio follows him. Then they stop.)

Pollock: I’m thinking.

Antonio: (looks around for a second) uh… what are you thinking about sir?

Pollock: how to get that woman’s body out of the building without anyone seeing.

Next scene: Nicole and Dr. Reese are in a room where Nicole is being evaluated.

Dr. Reese: you have quite a record.

Nicole: (taking a sip of her coffee) I didn’t know this was about my record.

Dr. Reese: (puts on her glasses) Difficulties with authority, independence of actions,--

Nicole: you’re evaluating my mental state, not my character.

Dr. Reese: they’re linked.

Nicole: not always.

(Dr. Reese writes something down on her files)

Nicole: trouble with authority, right?

Dr. Reese: how did you feel when Agent Cooper was shot?

(There is a flashback of Janey lying dead on the floor on the night she was shot, followed by a flashback of what Nicole looked like when she first saw the sight then ending with a flashback of Nicole at the funeral dropping a flower into the grave.)

Nicole: is that the best you’ve got?

Dr. Reese: in what sense?

Nicole: that question, it’s terrible.

Dr. Reese: what would you prefer?

Nicole: something that doesn’t sound like nightly news on channel 5. Something that might have some meaning.

Dr. Reese: you’re angry with me.

Nicole: yes. I am.

Dr. Reese: good.

(Dr. Reese takes a large sip of her coffee as Nicole is left staring)

Next scene: back to Antonio and Pollock.

Pollock: isn’t this a strong dinner party list.

Antonio: Jillian Chef was in contact with more that ten people facing felony charges in the past few months.

Pollock: not all of them have the right profile, arsonist, fraud, narrow it down. Please.

Antonio: yes sir.

(He starts to walk out)

Pollock: we don’t want her to end up like Agent Cooper.

(Antonio stops and turns around)

Antonio: I know sir.

Pollock: let me ask you something Agent, just uh (he motions Antonio to close the door behind him and Antonio does so)

Antonio: yes sir…

Pollock: (thinks for a few seconds) Is she dead?

Antonio: Is who dead?

Pollock: Agent Cooper. Is she-is she really dead?

Antonio: uh… you know she’s dead sir.

(Pollock chuckles)

Pollock: right, right. No I know I know. I do. It’s just that uh sometimes you think something happens but you shouldn’t, well you shouldn’t believe it if you’re the only source of information, you know.

Antonio: uh, I’m sorry sir?

Pollock: what I’m saying is my uh, my life has been a little chaotic lately.

Antonio: I hear you; these guys are all tough and a lot of pressure.

Pollock: you know, I mean um… it’s been kind of umm… coming apart, at the seams, so if I’m to lose grip, if I were to lose momentarily… something like this, you know Agent Cooper’s passing it could be, you know it could be something that I could imagine but it’s real.

Antonio: too real.

Pollock: alright, thank you agent.

Antonio: your welcome sir.

(Antonio walks out and you can hear Dr. Reese and Nicole’s conversation in the background while the scene is switched to the evaluation room)

Dr. Reese: so at the end of the day this is still a job, not a mission.

Nicole: but when you work with people in this world it’s like you live with them. (Antonio is seen walking but Nicole is still heard in the background) Their pain is your pain, their wins are yours, their losses too.

(Antonio walks and Jess approaches him)

Jess: hey, how is he?

Antonio: who, Pollock?

Jess: yeah.

Antonio: weird.

Jess: Like usual?

Antonio: no weirder.

Jess: oh… good.

(Jess is shown walking away and Dr. Reese and Nicole are heard in the background once again until the scene is changed back to the evaluation room)

Dr. Reese: so you’ve got a shared responsibility…

Nicole: that doesn’t end with a job. It’s almost like… (The screen is back on Jess she walks up to Pollock’s office and knocks at the open door) it’s almost like it doesn’t end at all.

Pollock: amaze and astound me agent

Jess: (proudly) the janitor admits to being in love with the missing woman sir. He uh, wrote her poetry and sent her gifts.

Pollock: dragged her off in broad daylight.

Jess: he says he didn’t.

Pollock: alright then, let him go.

Jess: and follow him.

Pollock: you’re reading minds now, agent?

Jess: no sir, just the visions.

Pollock: oh, just as well, you wouldn’t want to know my thoughts, not from right now.

Jess: well the visions are no picnic either sir.

Pollock: You had one?

Jess: yeah, but it was about Janey.

Pollock: it’s all is about Janey today, agent, and it will be for a while. When something like this happens it uh, it warns people, it brings up questions.

(The conversation between Dr. Reese and Nicole is once again in the background until the scene is changed to the evaluation room)

Nicole: so the question isn’t “can you keep going?” its “when do you think it stops?” Some questions you cant find an answer. Some questions you don’t want to answer.

Dr. Reese: but what if you have to answer.

Nicole: I’d say “I won’t”.

Next scene: Jess is in her car out on the streets following Raymond Kneehouse. Jess sees him buying a hot dog at a hot dog stand and she starts to look around when she has a vision, of Janey:

Janey: would you like a muffin?

Jess: oh my god.

Janey: I make them myself

Jess: you’re dead.

Janey: try one.

Jess: I don’t want a muffi.n

Janey: you have to be careful on this job, it could get you killed.
Jess: it did get you killed, you’re dead.

Janey: I’m not dead. If I were dead I wouldn’t be able to look you in the eye and tell you you’re screwing up again.

Jess: what are you talking about?

Janey: you’re missing something. Look over there.

(Jess snaps out of her vision and sees a man beating Raymond Kneehouse with a stick. Jess runs out of her car towards them)

Jess: FBI! drop your weapon! Drop it!

(Jess tackles the man, gets up, kicks him, and pulls out her gun)

Jess: I’ve already been to one funeral today; do you want to make it two?

(The man is revealed to be Damian Chef)

Break to Commercial

Next scene: Jess and Nicole are at the scene while an ambulance picks up Mr. Kneehouse. Nicole and Jess approach Mr. Chef.

Nicole: (to Mr. Chef) get over here! Talk to me. (she pushed him against a car) you lied to me. I don’t like that.

Jess: the bar you said you were in went out of business last month.

Damian Chef: they’re my friends they still cook for me.

Nicole: Mr. Chef you are much, much too small to box with me.

Damian Chef: I was seeing some people.

Jess: what kind of people?

Damian Chef: they’ve got a couple dozen DVD players…

Nicole: and you’ve got a lot of movies to watch

Damian Chef: look, lied cause I didn’t want to get busted. Look if I lied why was I beaten by that fat man.

Nicole: so you could ask me that very question, that’s why.

Damian Chef: you know what, arrest me, hold me for 24 hours, I don’t care just find my wife, please.

Next scene: the evaluation room. Dr. Reese is evaluating Antonio. She is pouring herself some coffee.

Dr. Reese: I had them make coffee.

Antonio: great. Black, one sugar.

(She hands him a coffee)

Antonio: thanks, can-can I have a sugar.

Dr. Reese: oh it’s not good for you

Antonio: (sighs in disbelief) okay, can I have one of those sweeteners?

Dr. Reese: Have you ever had a colleague die before, Agent Cortez?

Antonio: uh, no. umm… can I get one of those sweeteners?

Dr. Reese: oh I think I just had one.

Antonio: do you mind checking?

Dr. Reese: Let’s stay on track. Well you must have had agents die all around you.

(Antonio has a flashback of when he first saw Janey die, then a flashback of him at the funeral)

Antonio: yeah people I’ve served with have, had been killed, no one in my department, or anyone I was supervising.

Dr. Reese: do you feel responsible?

Antonio: No.

Dr. Reese: haven’t you ever thought about it?

Antonio: Of course I thought about it.

Dr. Reese: not seriously.

Antonio: (defensively) how do you know what serious?

Dr. Reese: do you smoke?

Antonio: no. why?

Dr. Reese: I’m just asking. So you’ve thought about your responsibility for Agent Cooper’s death.

Antonio: yes and I don’t have any.

(She takes a big sip of her coffee while staring at Antonio)

Antonio: okay well what happened you know is sad, is tragic but she made some bad decisions.

Dr. Reese: so you’re blaming the victim.

Antonio: No I’m not and why does it matter if I smoke?

Dr. Reese: because I want a cigarette. Now you must have feelings about all this.

Antonio: I prefer facts. Facts are true.

(Scene turns over to Pollock walking but Antonio and Dr Reese are still heard)

Dr. Reese: feelings can be true too.

Antonio: Can be, aren’t always. Just because you feel something doesn’t mean it’s true.

(Pollock approaches Jess and Nicole)

Pollock: Since Agent Cortez is getting his head shrunk at the moment time is of the essence, I will be joining you on the canvas of these criminal clients. (He starts walking and the two follow). Who on the list is most likely to offend?

Jess: client who have been convicted are more likely to hold a grudge.

Pollock: they would also be in the joint so…

Nicole: we concentrate on the recently released sir.

Jess: (pointing to a board with possible suspects) James Robert Mullen did five enforceable confinements of a young woman. He wears a locater around his ankle that was out of this morning (hands Pollock the file) when Jillian was abducted.

Nicole: Aren’t those hard to disable?

Pollock: they are but your phone line isn’t and that’s what they broadcast to. We’ll go see him, who else?

Nicole: Next, we have Ilya Chirmack (hands him her file) who hasn’t gone to trial yet.
Pollock: Militia leader in Serbia, faced war crime charges, all of them dropped, perusing opportunities in the world of drugs.

Nicole: indited are multiple trafficking offenses, those are some reasons to hold a grudge against his own lawyer, but—

Pollock: he’s nasty, he’s in the picture. I’ll go see him. You two go take the sexual offender with the electronic jewelry.

Next scene; back in the evaluation room with Antonio and Dr. Reese.

Dr. Reese: two of the members in your unit are women, how do you feel about that?

Antonio: lucky.

Dr. Reese: seriously.

Antonio: yes seriously.

Dr. Reese: working so closely with women, do any inappropriate feelings ever develop?

Antonio: (pauses for a moment) anything I’ve ever felt has been completely appropriate.

Dr. Reese: you know what I mean.

Antonio: (a little angered and impatient) no I want you to spell it out.

Dr. Reese: you worked with Agent Scott previously in Phoenix; there were rumors of interpersonal feelings.

Antonio: is that a question?

Dr. Reese: how would you characterize your relationship with Agent Scott now?

Antonio: (defensively) I would say it’s private.

Dr. Reese: is privacy your habit?

Antonio: in this world you meet a lot of people; you don’t know who they are or what they want. You’re better off just keeping your feelings to yourself.

Next scene: Pollock entering Ilya Chirmack’s office

Ilya Chirmack: Please, come in Mr. Pollock. It’s a pleasure to welcome such a distinguished official to my office. (They sit down) I had many government contacts in my homeland.

(Pollock briefly speaks to the man in Serbian)

Ilya Chirmack: very good Serbian. In fact I did police work there myself.

Pollock: oh is that before or after the war crimes.

Ilya Chirmack: those charges were dropped.

Pollock: and you find yourself accused of yet another crime.

Ilya Chirmack: Accused, exactly and I will be cleared again. I am innocent of these drug charges. I run a security company.

Pollock: you retained Ellis Easton to uh, to plead your case.

Ilya Chirmack: I am told he is uh, very able.

Pollock: are you aware that his legal secretary, Mrs. Chef has been abducted this morning?

Ilya Chirmack: no. that’s terrible. I like her, she has ambition.

Pollock: well in Serbia you where know to abduct people for leverage to motivate.

Ilya Chirmack: more lies.

Pollock: well I’m just saying you want your lawyer to be motivated to keep you out of jail.

Ilya Chirmack: well I would hope substantial fees are motivation enough. Mr. Pollock, I didn’t relish this work and I am not without resources, I can put out a few, how you say, feelers on this thing. If I turn anything up I will be happy to help you.

Next scene: back in the evaluation room with Dr. Reese and Antonio

Dr. Reese: Now I would like to talk about things you may think about that you don’t like to think about.

Antonio: okay how about taxes.

Dr. Reese: I mean feelings you may be ashamed of.

(Antonio stares at her for a second then he gets a page. He check who it is)

Antonio: Sorry Doc, new facts and facts… beat feelings.

Next Scene: at the Bureau Nicole and Jess are discussing

Nicole: the sex offender checks out. His phone line went out this morning. That’s why his monitor bracelet stopped sending signals. But he did alert his parole officer who act bide him. He didn’t kidnap Jillian.

Jess: well we can rule out Big Ray too. He at the time of the abduction he was on an ATM security camera two miles away, cashing the check that he want in to get.

Nicole: so we’re back to zero.

(Pollock walks in)

Pollock: we have a call from the Sheriff’s department in Carol County, Maryland; they found an abandoned car off route 97. A 1990 blue LeSabre. Cortez is on his way.

Next scene: Maryland, route 97 on the scene where the car was dropped. There are many Police Cars around.

Officer: this is just the way we found it.

Antonio: No one’s around?

Officer: no sir.

Antonio: body?

Officer: nope.

Antonio: any sign of a body?

Officer: well I guess you could say there was a sign of one.

(Antonio approaches the car. He sees blood on the window from the inside. He looks inside the car and he sees what the inside looks like)

Antonio: my god, it’s covered in blood.

Break to commercial

Nicole: (to an officer) we’ll give a report later, thanks.

(Nicole walks away towards Antonio)

Antonio: Hey

Nicole: Hey

Antonio: strange but good.

Nicole what do you got?

Antonio: it’s not Jillian’s blood.

Nicole: so she still could be alive.

Antonio: but whose blood is it? How does it pertain to Jillian and how does it what does it do to her chances.

(A cell phone rings)

Nicole: Excuse me (as she picks up her cell phone and walks away).

Nicole: Scott. (Waits for the person on the other line to respond) where? Man or woman? South on 97? Okay, Got it.

(She hangs up. Antonio comes towards her)

Nicole: Cops found a body just up the road.

Antonio: Jillian?

Nicole: unknown white male, cut to pieces.

Antonio: could be that the blood matches?

Nicole: (lets out a small chuckle) no.

Next scene: Pollock’s office. Pollock is meeting with Ellis Easton and Ilya Chirmack.

Ellis Easton: Mr. Chirmack is going to trial, Assistant Director, but he is a man of honor, he lives by a code. He is not expecting any sort of deal for the information he has to offer. In return he is assumes he is not putting himself in any further legal risk by sharing it with you, agreed?

Pollock: agreed.

Ellis Easton: (to Ilya) I’ll be outside.

Ilya Chirmack: My friends have been making inquires…

Pollock: and…

Ilya Chirmack: her husband is involved with drugs.

Pollock: does he work for you?

Ilya Chirmack: (laughs) I run a security business.

Pollock: seriously.

Ilya Chirmack: no, for someone else.

Pollock: oh, so you don’t mind handing him to us.

Ilya Chirmack: frankly he is to small to be in my radar, but big enough that people care about the money he owes.

Pollock: so they took is wife to leverage him?

Ilya Chirmack: is what they say, yes.

Pollock: who took her?

Ilya Chirmack: several possibilities. I can give you names.

Pollock: should I bust all your rivals?

Ilya Chirmack: not everything’s about business. I know this woman, I like her, very efficient very strong will.

Pollock: I uh, I knew some one like that.

(Pollock tosses the man a notepad)

Pollock: names.

Next scene: Nicole and Jess meet Antonio in a lab. Antonio is dressed in blue scrubs just like a doctor and is making findings about the dead man.

Nicole: telling you anything?

Antonio: this guy just won’t keep his mouth shut (as he writes on his clip board). Meet Martin Hallmyer. He’s 35, 6’2”, 195 lbs, blood type AB negative, which is very rare, which makes it very easy to ID him. It was his blood in the car.

Jess: and he was mutilated?

Antonio: by someone who knew exactly what they were doing. It’s almost surgical.

Jess: okay I’m out of here.

Antonio: he’s a sex offender. Repeat convictions, abductions, rape. His report is over there.

(Nicole Picks up the report)

Nicole: he own that car we saw?

Antonio: no. it was his neighbor’s. He lived three doors down. He must have borrowed it or stole it.

Nicole: He’s a capital currier.

(Hands Jess the file)

Antonio: yeah, Jillian’s law office was right across the hall from his. He saw her the time.

(A flashback of what supposedly happens is shown on screen)

Nicole: so he kidnaps her, drives her into Maryland…

Jess: And then what? She gets lose steels a knife and cuts him into this)

Antonio: no, not a chance. This is pro work.

Nicole: so the question is, who the hell did this and what are they doing Jillian?

Antonio: if she’s even with them still.

Nicole: a vision sure would be great right about now.

Jess: Yeah, well it’s not happening, and besides all keep seeing is Janey and I’m due in the shrink’s office.

Next scene: Nicole is walking and discussing with Pollock.

Pollock: we got a tip about the ex-husband, checked his house came out with two pounds of white powder.

Nicole: is that connected to Jillian?

Pollock: it means he’s involved with people with some serious resources. That’s all. Can you tell me where the victim is now?

Nicole: possible with whoever put that guy on the slab in there.

Pollock: we don’t, uh… we don’t know much do we agent?

Nicole: (proudly) sir, we have done very well for just a few hours.

Pollock: I mean as human beings we don’t know much. Why do-why do people die?

Nicole: (smiles and tries to sound comforting) I don’t know sir.

Pollock: well there you go. We don’t know much. What is love? What is anything? Answers I want answers. All around here I tell you guys I want answers and at night, in the dark I tell myself I want answers.

Nicole: I think we’re all looking for answers.

Pollock: why is there evil?

(Scene switches to Dr. Reese evaluating Jess)

Jess: because we have choices.

Dr. Reese: so you think evil is a choice?

Jess: yes. (Pause) Nobody makes bad guys do what they do, they choose it.

Dr. Reese: what about earthquakes or tsunamis? Aren’t they evil?

Jess: they’re tragic, not evil.

Dr. Reese: do you feel responsible when you fail?

Jess: we don’t fail much.

Dr. Reese: you’re very confident.

Jess: not really. I always feel like I’m not good enough (pause), but in the end we usually get the job done.

Dr. Reese: are you responsible for Agent Cooper’s death?

(Jess has flashbacks of some things Janey has said to her and then a flash back of herself at the funeral)

Jess: no, I’m not responsible.

(Scene quickly switches to Nicole and Pollock)

Pollock: of course I’m responsible.

Nicole: sir you’re not, not by any stretch.

Pollock: I couldn’t protect her, just like I uh… just like I can’t protect my family.

Nicole: of course you protect your family.

Pollock: not from the Coronation Hotel, I don’t. Not when my wife needs her space and decides whether I’m worthy of another shot. No. I’m not protecting my family and no, I did not protect Agent Cooper. I mean Nicole, I mean she’s a kid, she’s a rookie. She was mine to protect and I-I blew it and because I blew it we put her down today for a nice long, nap in the dirt.

Nicole: no one can protect everything sir, not me, not even you. I think I’m just figuring that out myself.

Pollock: well how can you stand that?

Nicole: I can’t. I just do.

(Scene switches to Jess and Dr. Reese in the evaluation room)

Dr. Reese: she was your partner.

Jess: no she wasn’t. We worked on the same team that’s all.

Dr. Reese: well that’s the same thing.

Jess: no it’s not.

Dr. Reese: you sound resentful.

Jess: she hated me.

Dr. Reese: why would she hate you?

Jess: I don’t know. I was in the way.

Dr. Reese: of what?

Jess: (suggestively) of where she wanted to go.

(Suddenly Jess has a vision: Janey comes running out of the wall)

Janey: get out of the way!

(She bumps into Jess. Jess notices that Janey is all dirty)

Jess: why? What’s wrong? What’s going on?

Janey: I came down the pike, I’ve been through mill. They’re after me!

 

(Dr. Reese is watching Jess from an outsider’s point of view. She sees Jess staring into space with only her eyes blinking and fingers moving. We are put back into Jess’s vision)

Jess: tell me where you are. We can help you.

Janey: help me!

(Janey runs past Jess and leaves her behind)

(Jess is out of her vision and is in shock because of what she just saw as well as the fact that she had a vision during her evaluation)

Break to Commercial

Next Scene: Jess rushes towards Nicole and Antonio and leaves Dr. Reese behind in the office.

Jess: guys I know what the dreams are about. Janey isn’t Janey.

Nicole: okay… what does that mean?

Jess: I’m having visions of Janey but they’re not about her, they’re still about the case. We all noticed that this missing woman has a lot in common with Janey right?

Antonio: yeah, they were both the same age, they were both very intelligent, ambitious—

Nicole: --and climbers.

Jess: how they both made fresh muffins.

Nicole: so Janey represents Jillian.

Jess: she must. In the vision she said her job could get her killed.

Antonio: not did get her killed, which it did for Janey.

Nicole: so Jillian is still alive but her life is being threatened (trying to understand), something related with her work.

Jess: Exactly. In the vision I just had—

Nicole: --while you were in with the shrink?

Jess: (in an unfortunate tone) yeah. Janey said that she came down the pike and had been through the mill.

(Antonio does a quick search)

Nicole: okay, this is good, this is good, this means that you’re not messed up by Janey’s death. The visions are still working.

Jess: the visions are still working; I’m not saying anything about myself.

(Nicole looks at Jess as if she’s exaggerating)

Antonio: these words are too common; I’m getting way too many hits.

Nicole: well we know they’re work related. We gotta get the lawyer in here, it’s gotta connect to him.

Jess: but we don’t have anything on him.

Nicole we won’t tell him that.

Next scene: Jess and Nicole are interrogating Ellis Easton.

Nicole: you haven’t been completely honest with us.

Ellis Easton: that isn’t true.

Jess: we know that Jillian’s disappearance is connected to your work.

Ellis Easton: I want a lawyer.

Jess: you are a lawyer.

Ellis Easton:  and any lawyer that represents himself—

Nicole: --has a fool for a client. Yeah, we’ve heard that one. But I want you to think about this, and you could think about it as the lawyer or the client, I don’t care. Every minute that you waste with us increases the chances that Jillian Chef will die.

Jess: and if she dies, whatever you’re involved in gets a lot more serious.

Nicole: you didn’t take her, but you know who did.

Jess: and that puts you on line for the injection.

Ellis Easton: not true. She was kidnapped in DC.

Nicole: she’s outside the district now.

Jess: and whoever stays around here gets the death penalty.

Nicole: all you have to do is tell us; of course it’s up to you. You can take the injection with the kidnapper or leave him to take it by himself.

Next scene: Dr. Reese reports to Pollock to give him the final analysis.

Dr. Reese: I talked with each of your agents.

Pollock and…

Dr. Reese: Well Cortez and Scott are perfectly normal; when I provoked them they presented anger responses which is appropriate. Jessica… Mastriani on the other hand showed signs of severe mental stress—

Pollock: --which indicates good mental health. It’s just the job; I trust there is nothing wrong.

Dr. Reese: well there is something very wrong with her. She had some sort of clinical episode during our session.

Pollock: you’re mistaking

Dr. Reese: No she became un-responsive, um… had tremors in her hands, was almost in a REM state, but she was wide awake.

Pollock: that’s normal, I’ve seen it.

Dr. Reese: well you may have seen it but it is not normal.

Pollock: you recently quit smoking, am I right?

Dr. Reese: then se because very excited and ran out the door.

Pollock: you’re judgment is impaired.

Dr. Reese: I am perfectly normal.

Pollock: not with that haircut.

Dr. Reese: I am placing Agent Mastriani under indefinite medical leave.

Pollock: no you’re not.

Dr. Reese: what does my hair got to do with it anyway?

Pollock: you are not gonna suspend Agent Mastriani; I am not going to let that happen.

Dr. Reese: it’s not in your power to stop me.

Pollock: it is, it is in my power, and I am, and I’m in charge here, and this is my unit and I’m gonna-I’m gonna protect it. I mean you do realize that I-I lost an agent.

Dr. Reese: I am very aware of that.

Pollock: a young, energetic, ambitious, smart agent and she died on my watch, and I couldn’t protect her you see. So I-I have to protect them also. I can’t let you do this to Mastriani.

Dr. Reese: Assistant Director, I’m not doing any—

Pollock: Don’t you dare, coming here with your bob haircut and your nicotine patch and take this agent away from me, okay? I am not gonna let that stand cause I am bound by my… honor and duty. My people need to know that I am there for them. I am.

Dr. Reese: Mr. Pollock you should know that I have one evaluation left to file.

Pollock: whose is that?

Dr. Reese: yours

Pollock: you haven’t interviewed me.

Dr. Reese: oh yes I have.

(Dr. Reese walks out of Pollock’s office)

Next Scene: Nicole and Jess walk out of interrogation room to meet Antonio.

Nicole: okay, Easton gave it up.

Jess: or at least he gave up as much as he knows.

Nicole: Jillian was snatched from his office like he said but when he saw the car pulling away 911 was his second call. The first call went to someone else.

(Flashback of Easton calling and saying “it’s Easton I need to talk to him” and Chirmack answering “who is it”)

Antonio: who did he call?

Jess: Jillian was so valuable to him, Easton used her to prepare the Chirmack case inside and out, without telling Chirmack.

Nicole: and she knows everything about the case which is way more than Chirmack wanted her to know.

Antonio: every lawyer has staff.

Nicole: Ha, Not like this.

Jess: she stuck her nose in everywhere. She wanted to know everything even when it was dangerous to her.

Nicole: sound familiar?

Antonio: Janey

Nicole: um-hmm.

Jess: she ended up finding out so much that when she disappeared Easton assumed it was about the case.

Nicole: he thought the feds grabbed her, to get her to cooperate with them.

Antonio: they wouldn’t do that.

Jess: he said it happened to him once before, 1998. So he called Chirmack, told him the truth.

Nicole: that Jillian was taken and that she knew all about the Chirmack operation.

(A quick flashback of the guy who took Jillian and Jillian being tied up in the back)

Antonio: but we know the sex offender took her.

Jess: nobody knew that, they couldn’t take any chances.

Nicole: so he put his guys out looking for Jillian… right along with us.

(A flashback is shown of what most likely happened while the team continues talking)

Jess: but they found her first.

Nicole: apparently Chirmack owns a credit cop or two. So he put out an APB, got out of the car, told Chirmack.

Jess: his people intercepted it.

(Flashback ends right after we she the car Jillian’s in bumped into by the car Chirmack’s people are driving)

Antonio: okay well that doesn’t give us a dead kidnapper and Jillian gone.

Nicole: we’re close, Chirmack’s crew found them, there former militia guys.

(Flashback continues with the guys getting out of the car and taking care of Jillian’s kidnapper)

Jess: which would account for the professional job on the kidnapper.

Nicole: so now they’ve got Jillian. At first she thinks she’s been rescued but still she’s gotta wonder who these guys are.

(In the flashback Jillian is shown being taken and driven away)

Nicole: they’re all speaking Serbian so she wont understand bit that does tell her who the must work for.

Antonio: Ilya Chirmack. If that’s true they would have killed her by now.

Nicole: not necessarily, Chirmack’s careful. He doesn’t take any unnecessary risk. He wants to know what she knows about him before he kills her.

Jess: I feel like she’s still alive.

Nicole: she’s only alive if she got away.

Antonio: she would have called a cop or flagged out help.

Nicole: not if she’s some place remote.

Antonio: then militia’s on her tail.

Jess: she’d lay low. She’d hide out maybe all night.

Nicole: there’s some deep wood near where we found the body.

Antonio: okay let’s check that area for reports, see if there’s anything.

(Checking on a computer)

Antonio: nothing unusual, gas station reports a B&E.

Jess: that doesn’t sound like anything

Antonio: I’m blowing up the report. (Pause) Hang on, cops are saying that the bathroom window was broken from the inside out.

Nicole: then that’s not a B&E.

Jess: that’s someone breaking out.

(Flashback of the possible situation of Jillian breaking a window and breaking out of the bathroom)

Nicole: maybe she got on a stop there and se got away.

Jess: where is it?

Antonio: not far, Georgetown Pike.

Jess: down the pike, through the mill.

Antonio: it intercepts Swincks Mill Road.

Nicole: what’s there?

Antonio: Scotts run Nature Preserve.

Next scene: at the nature preserve, Jillian is running down a path and through a tunnel as car it tailing her, it stops and 3 men get out to for her. Nicole, Jess, and Antonio arrive ate the scene right away in their FBI uniforms.

Nicole: okay, ears open, eyes pealed.

Antonio: remember, these guys have a history for automatic weapons.

Nicole: so let’s avoid shootouts. We don’t want Jillian to turn into a hostage.

Jess: or worse.

(Jillian is seen running through the woods as fast as she can. She’s being chased. She runs halfway downhill; she falls and ends up rolling down the other half. She barely gets up and the guy already caught up to her and is holding a gun in front of her face. Suddenly Nicole shows up in jeans and a t-shirt holding a map.)

Nicole: I am so glad I ran into you two. I have been lost for hours.

Serbian Militia Man: leave us alone.

Nicole: oh sure I-I get, I just need some help with directions and I’ll give you back your privacy.

(The man is shown holding a gun behind his back)

Nicole: I am just so bad with maps.

Serbian Militia Man: I can’t help you.

Nicole: I don’t know which way is up. (Holds the map up to his face) do you?

(Nicole punches through the map, into the guy’s face. She elbows the guy right in the face to the point where he’s on the ground. Then she pulls out her gun at him)

Nicole: FBI! Don’t move! Everything’s alright Jillian.

(She hears a noise and points her gun toward the other direction but it is only Jess with another one of the militia men. She turns around and sees Antonio with the third man.)

Nicole: looks like we got the whole set.

Antonio: without firing a shot.

Jess: there’s been enough shooting this week.

Nicole: (to the Serbian Militia Man) get up! Get up now!

Next scene: back at the Bureau the three are doing some paper work while Pollock approaches them.

Pollock: I usually don’t say this without a reservation, but this time well done, one and all. Anyway Chirmack is out of business; his lawyer is disbarred, incarcerated, and the victim is safe so strong day all around.

Jess: it still doesn’t help Janey.

Pollock: No, but you honored her by doing the work, you lived up to the code. What is more, you have each received a clean bill of health from the shrink and are free to continue your duties.

(Nicole breathes out as if relieved while Jess jumps um in disbelief)

Jess: sir, when I was in with her I had a vision and she said that—

Pollock: --taken care of. I raised her clearance level and put her in the know about your talents.

Nicole: so everything’s cool?

Pollock: every thing is… everything is cool. I uh… myself have been judged unfit to command for the time being so I’m on medical leave.

(The two women jump out in shock)

Nicole: what?

Pollock: on indefinite medical leave for the time being, by order of Dr. Reese.

Nicole: sir, we can talk to someone, we can--

Jess: --is there anything that we can do?

(Antonio also jumps up and says something in the background)

Pollock: she’s never wrong, Mastriani.

(Pollock walks away leaving the three appalled. Then he is shown packing up his things in a box. Then Antonio starts talking and has a close-up on screen)

Antonio: you know, people get hurt in this job and every now and then you lose one. I don’t mean they die… I mean they get lost… they lose themselves.

(Next Jess comes close up on screen for her speech)

Jess: physical injury, death even, that’s not the only threat. The mental threats are worse.

(Before Nicole comes on screen to talk Pollock is shown finishing to gather his possessions and clipping off is FBI identification)

Nicole: It wears you down. If someone threatens you, we’re trained to deal with that, but when they go at your heart, your soul you can’t shoot back.

(Antonio comes on screen, close up, in profile)

Antonio: and then you ask those questions.

(A picture of Janey comes on screen followed by Jess coming on screen, close up, in profile)

Jess: you look for answers.

(Two more pictures of Janey then Nicole comes on, close up, Front View)

Nicole: but sometimes you have to realize that the answer is… there is no answer.

(Pollock gets into the elevator and the door closes)
