Jake, at the baby-sitters and never came back.
On top of rent, she has child care, food...
What if it got to be too much?
SAMANTHA: Her stuff was still at the motel.
If she left, why didn't she take it?
Jake just needs a hearing aid.
You should be able to find one for about $500.
I don't have money.
MAN: What's in the bag, Colleen?
I needed the money for a medical thing.
MARTIN: Check it out. Heroin.
I'm no thief. I was one bag short.
Know what they'll do, if I don't return it?
Colleen's got drug dealers thinking she ripped them off
because of you.
He's going to kill me.
This case is really getting to you. Yeah.
A couple of files here on a drug mule that went missing
two years ago. Similar profile,
26-year-old woman, Elizabeth Rogers.
Whoever this man is, he took Colleen
and she's not the first.
I know how to get him.
Okay, I'm listening.
I'll move to her motel, get a job at the Mart, see what's there.
We're aren't set up to go undercover as a drug mule.
I don't need to go that deep to get information.
I need to find someone who went on a drug run, or who she confided in
and they won't talk to cops.
They're gonna talk to someone living or working right beside them.
Elizabeth Rogers was killed two years ago
and this guy is still out there.
Who knows how many people he's killed or will kill?
When I say you're done, you pack your bags,
and you get your ass out of there.
Okay.
MAN: The washer and dryers are behind the soda machine. It's two bucks a load.
The machine takes quarters and I don't make change. You can have a hot plate.
You end up with roaches, not my problem.
Hi, Claude. Hi, Amy.
And one other thing, no pets.
I'm cat-free.
CLAUDE: $175 a week due on Mondays, whether you're working or not.
I've got a job at the Every Mart, so...
I don't care where you work, but no drugs, tricks and trouble.
You won't have any.
I need a week in advance. Right.
There you go.
Welcome to the Glen Capri Motor Court, Sally.
Samantha. My name is Samantha.
Well, good for you.
If the customers decide they don't want something,
they'll drop it anywhere.
You need to bring it back to overstock.
By... the break room.
Put it in the right department's cart.
Bring the housewares cart here, restock your merchandise.
Is there a special time I'm supposed to do this?
When you don't have any customers that need your help.
Got it? Got it.
As it says in the Every Mart handbook,
damaged packaging should go to the back of the slide.
Someone who really wants an item
will buy the last one even if it's not perfect.
I'm sure you'll get the hang of it.
Samantha check in today?
Yep, she met two new people
at the motel last night.
Both of them said they never met Colleen before.
But I'm going to follow up anyway.
DANNY: Oh, here we go. What?
That other drug mule, Elizabeth Rogers.
Before she was killed two years ago,
she used to work in an auto parts store.
Guess who her supervisor was?
You recognise her, Mr. Burdock?
I'm sorry. I'm afraid I don't remember her.
DANNY: You don't remember a girl that was murdered.
Not when I was working there.
She was found in the Raritan River with a bullet between her eyes.
I didn't hurt anyone.
Two women, both drug mules, both worked for you.
What's that
DANNY: How about those big deposits that you made into your
bank account right before each of the women went missing?
I just found girls who needed a little extra money.
Right, so you roped Colleen in when you caught her stealing.
I thought I was doing her a favor.
Don't ever do this again.
I won't.
Colleen...
If you really need extra cash, I might know a way.
I'll do anything, extra shifts...
No, it's not here. It's an off-the-books thing, but good money.
What is it?
All you have to do is deliver a package.
I can get you an advance.
And that's the last I heard until she went missing.
Who's this?
Mr. Burdock, you've already lied to me twice.
The only thing stopping me from snapping your head off
is that I think you could actually help me.
Now who is it?
His name is John Barr. Where do we find Mr. Barr?
I don't know. If I had a candidate
I'd call him. He always came to me.
Write down his number.
I haven't heard from him in about a week, since Colleen disappeared.
He might not even be around anymore.
If he's not, I'm gonna assume you're lying to me,
and you're going to wish that you hadn't.
Ten minutes, Amy, then it's time for dinner.
Okay.
Hey. What's your doll's name?
Louisa Louise Marsha Jane.
Wow, that's a big name for a little doll.
How long have you lived at this motel?
I don't know.
Lots of kids here.
You must have lots of friends.
Heather, Jean, Barb... she lives upstairs.
What about Jake? You know Jake?
He doesn't live here anymore.
I know, I think I'm, uh, I think I'm in his room.
It's scary.
Why's that?
Because there was a man.
MAN: That's not Deke's problem!
1,000 bucks...
that is Deke's problem!
He wants it back in 48 hours!
You better not be empty-handed, you hear that?
SAMANTHA: You sure the man said "Deke"?
Yeah.
Then I stopped playing and went inside.
That was smart.
Does your mom let you chew gum?
Yeah?
I bought a pack of gum today.
JACK: Got anything?
Well, no luck finding our guy, John Barr.
His cell phone bills go to a mailbox store
and the Social that he gave on his application is fake.
So he's using an alias, but the manager at Every Mart
was telling the truth.
According to Barr's cell phone records,
he called a lot before Colleen went missing
but he hasn't since.
Any of these numbers tie in to somebody named Deke?
No.
Moving heroin is more than a two-man operation.
Barr must have had other recruiters besides Burdock.
What are the other phone calls made in the last week?
Okay, we've got two to a take-out place, one to a liquor store,
and one... two... three to Coleman Die Cast.
Barr must have moved on from Burdock, found another recruiter.
Which means Samantha's wasting her time at Every Mart.
Let's get her into Coleman Die-cast.
That reference I called said you could lift 80 pounds dead weight.
You BS'ing, 'cause you look a little scrawny.
Scrawny but strong.
We're shorthanded. That's why I'm letting you start today,
but if the test is positive...
I'm straight.
MAN: Joanna... Howie. Hey.
This line is making forms for an induction system.
You're boring two holes where it's marked and deburring the holes
before passing the piece to Howie.
Remember to wear your safety equipment. Lunch at noon.
You get a half hour. You get one ten-minute break in the morning,
and one in the afternoon. You got to pee, okay.
Don't make a career out of it.
How much do I get paid? Not enough.
I think he just expects you to be grateful he lets you go pee.
Floor manager seems like the best choice for a recruiter.
He's the only one with access to the whole floor.
What's the matter?
My whole body hurts from those stupid machines.
Turn around. Come on.
So who do you think the mule is?
I don't know, Jack.
It's so hard to keep my eye on everybody
when I've got to move 40 pieces an hour.
I'm going to have to start asking my coworkers out for beers after work.
I got something for you.
Put it in your windowsill.
If you're in trouble, take it out.
Okay.
You know, if you really cared about me...
you wouldn't have told my boss that I could lift 80 pounds.
I didn't. I told him you could dead lift 150.
Hey, Amy.
What are you doing?
Waiting.
Waiting for what?
My mom works late sometimes.
I like to wait till she gets home so she can tuck me in.
Oh.
She going to be home soon?
You know, I could, I could wait with you if you want.
Yeah?
Hey, Howie!
Want me to take an early lunch so you can catch up?
The faster you go, the faster they make you go.
That's your way of saying I'm better than you.
That's a sad achievement.
I guess I am falling behind.
What are you looking at?
He's going to kill me.
Eight hours a day standing right next to me.
Can't believe I wasn't on to him.
You've only been working there for a couple of days.
You would have figured it out eventually, even if Barr hadn't showed up.
I don't know. Look, this is Barr's license plate number.
It's a dark blue Ford, F150 King Cab.
I'll track it down.
I think Howie picked Joanna to make the run.
He's been working on her all morning.
Mm-hmm.
Did we find Colleen yet?
No.
What happened to her son?
Social Services put him back with his father.
If we find Colleen's body,
are you going to pull the plug on this assignment?
Why don't you just keep deburring
whatever it is you're deburring.
Keep an eye on Joanna.
Maybe you'll see something that can help us.
Okay.
Hey. Hey, Jack, listen to this.
John Barr is an alias for John Burns.
This guy's into possession, armed robbery, assault.
He did six years in Dannemora.
While he was there, he took some business classes, got out three years ago.
And moved into drug-mule management.
So it appears. Is the DEA aware of it?
Yeah, they're into it.
You got an address?
Yeah, an apartment in Lawndale.
We should pick him up.
No, no, no. He's too low-level.
He's a murderer and he's the lead suspect in our investigation.
Yes, I understand that.
Unfortunately, I don't think that Colleen is coming back from this.
We've can break a bigger case. I think we should follow him
and see if it leads up the food chain.
Which means that Sam stays right where she is.
Uh-huh. For now.
Joanna? Yeah?
I'm getting a lot of spoilage
because my drill depth isn't consistent. What am I doing wrong?
Well, you're grabbing the back part of the handle.
The drill bit is set for a one-third rotation.
You've never done this kind of work before, have you?
I needed a job.
You know, long sleeves give a little cushion
and it'll help the metal slide on your arms. It'll mean less bruising.
Joanna? Yeah?
I got a couple of coupons
left from when I worked at Denny's, and, um,
I can't stand the idea of eating at the mini mart again.
I'd love some company.
Okay. Okay.
Mom got sick right after I moved in here.
She needed some medicines and I'd used all my cash on the security deposit.
So now I'm working weekends at Western Distribution.
And the ends meet?
Most of the time.
I don't know how you're working two jobs.
I'm tired from the one job I'm doing poorly.
Where you been? Out.
No beer for me?
I'll go to the deli and get you some.
I thought you said your mom had emphysema?
This is the bad habit I took up to help me forget about my other bad habits.
She's working two jobs and still falling behind,
and not to mention Les, the deadbeat boyfriend,
who's turning her money into beer
and not giving her much in return.
She mention any travel plans or taking any time off?
No, I have no idea when the run is,
but I'm pretty sure she's the one.
They're just trying to survive, Martin.
Joanna, Colleen... All it takes
is one tough break for them to fall off a cliff.
Are you okay?
I'm tired, but that's the good thing
about not having a television or a cell phone.
Nothing to stop me from going to bed early.
Yeah, I've been getting a lot of sleep, too.
Alright, um, I'll let you go.
Good night.
Please, Mommy? Mommy, please.
Just a few. I just want to catch a few lightning bugs.
Then we can go inside.
I had a hard day at work. We'll catch some tomorrow.
You said that yesterday.
If we don't catch them tonight, I'll have to sleep in the dark again.
I know where they are.
Samantha, I am tired. I don't want to catch fireflies.
I'll go by myself.
It's time for bed.
Through a prison connection, the DEA tied Burns to a man by the name of D.K. Pneumonic.
They think he's the boss of a Thai group that's moving heroin to the U.S. through Canada.
Known associates?
He's got a nasty capo named Niran Kiet, suspected by the Royal
Thai police of being involved in some very high level
drug assassinations back in Bangkok.
But they're clean here?
I guess. That's why they hire a guy like Burns.
Colleen makes a mistake, he takes care of it.
Okay, I'm going to give these photos to Danny, just in case he runs into them.
Hey, Viv? It's Samantha.
Listen, Joanna didn't show up for work today.
Do you think something's wrong?
Yeah.
Joanna?
She's alive.
Yeah, this is Agent Fitzgerald.
We're going to need an ambulance at the trailer park.
Hey, you order a pizza? Yeah.
Uh, let me get my wallet. Come on in.
Hey. Hey.
What happened to Joanna?
Ah, it's not good.
Broken collarbone, fractured wrist. Hospital
is going to keep her overnight for observation.
She says it was a domestic dispute.
Do you think she's telling the truth?
She's not pressing charges.
Whatever it is, she's not gonna be able to make that run.
Nope. Green peppers. You remembered.
Fitzgerald.
Right.
Can you send it over now?
Yeah, okay. What?
They found Colleen's body in the river.
I'm sorry.
This ink stamp was on the back of her hand.
Have you seen that around anywhere?
Mm-mm. Nope.
Look, Jack said you can come back in now.
He's gonna hand the case over to the locals and the D.E.A.
I can give you a lift.
I left some of my personal belongings
at my workstation at Coleman's.
It might look suspicious if I didn't go in to pick them up,
and I wouldn't... want to compromise
the rest of the investigation, so...
You sure?
Yeah.
Yeah, just, uh...
I'll quit tomorrow at the end of the day,
and tell Jack he can pick me up at the regular spot tomorrow night.
Alright.
Her boyfriend, I think.
She's pretty busted up.
No one comes to mind, but... I'll think about it.
Brian, listen, um...
I know we're behind, because of Joanna.
The thing is, I got this collections guy breathing down my neck.
He says he's gonna start garnishing my paycheck
unless I make a big payment and, uh,
I'm right on the edge. I can't afford to take home less.
I was thinking if I could help out.
You're, you're already at 40 hours.
Right, but you don't have to pay me overtime.
I mean, I wouldn't tell anyone, I swear.
I'm sorry, Sam.
W... Brian.
Sam.
I didn't mean to eavesdrop but I heard what's going on.
I'm pretty screwed.
Yeah, I'm really sorry, but I might be able to help.
You still on break?
I got two minutes left.
I have a friend.
He pays good money.
All you have to do is deliver a couple packages.
All I need is a couple more days.
Just long enough for them to make contact with me about the drop.
We're not set up for you to go deep undercover. Then set it up, Jack!
Listen, if I don't do this,
this whole case is based on paper trails, and sketches.
We'll be lucky if we bust a couple of low-level guys on minor drug charges.
It's not your decision, do you understand that?
If we didn't have a history, you would let me do this, no questions asked.
It's got nothing to do with our history.
Then the only conclusion I can jump to is that you don't trust me.
Jack, please.
She doesn't even know where the drop is or when.
Burns is gonna make direct contact with her.
We couldn't cover for a bigger operation.
Once the drop is set up, the DEA is gonna give us assistance.
Alright. Danny still got Burns under surveillance?
No, but it turns out D.K. Pneumonic,
he owns some bars in the area
and the word has it on the street
that he's laundering money through him.
So if Danny's checking out bars, who's on Burns?
Anderson. And you're going to relieve Anderson at 10:00, okay?
Yeah, yeah, good. Good.
Ten dollar cover.
This means "balance," right?
It means you can come in.
Samantha, come on, let's go.
No.
We have got to figure out a way to live under the same roof.
Like you care how I feel.
Why don't you stop pretending and just let me leave?
Samantha, you are coming home.
I know that you don't want to,
but right now it's not really up to you.
C an I help you? I'm Howie's friend.
Just a sec.
So Howie says you're looking to pick up some extra cash.
Yeah.
What do you need me for?
You look like a girl that can make money any number of ways.
I just need a little extra cash.
I'm not looking to make a career change.
I got a package I need delivered to Port Jeff.
I'll give you 800 bucks. Half up front, the rest when you drop it off.
What kind of package? It doesn't matter.
Either you want to help me or not.
And if you don't want to, that's fine, I'll go.
No, I want to.
A day or two.
We'll be in touch.
Hey.
You should've called last night.
Burns might have been watching.
I didn't want him to see me running to a pay phone right away.
I told you when you made contact you call us.
We cannot have an eight-hour lag in information.
Okay. Alright, I'm sorry.
I'll, um, I'll talk to you later I guess. Bye.
Fine.
If you're so concerned, why didn't you pull her out when you had a chance?
Because I don't make decisions based on fear.
Do you want me to set up surveillance at the motel?
Yes. Just as soon as you know when the drop is.
Joanna?
Oh, my God. What happened?
I had to send my mom some extra money and...
Did Les do this to you?
Yeah. He just came back by the trailer.
And said he was gonna finish what he started.
I can't call the cops, he'll kill me.
It's okay. I just...
I don't have anywhere to go. It's okay.
We'll figure it out, okay? Come on.
Go inside, grab whatever you can, clothes, money, valuables.
You're not coming back from the shelter. Make sure you don't want to.
I knew you'd be back, you bitch.
Fast as you can, Joanna. Les, please.
We don't want a ny trouble, okay? Who are you?
15 minutes and we'll be out of your way.
Go inside, Joanna, now! Get your stuff.
Go, Joanna.
I just serve drinks.
TAYLOR: You must be good at it.
A big balance in your checking account, a new car.
You don't get those on $5.15 an hour, Meredith.
The difference must be those $100 bills
that I saw Niran Kiet slip you.
It was a tip. For what?
Looking the other way?
I don't know what you're talking about.
Did you know she's dead?
You can close your eyes, but it doesn't change anything. She's still dead.
If I tell you anything I'll need protection.
We'll take care of it.
I only saw her once.
I had no idea what she'd done, but...
she was desperate.
I don't have the whole amount.
I know I'm supposed to, but...
I've got part of it and, uh...
I promise I'll get the rest real soon.
I promise.
How much do you have?
$350.
I know I owe you a thousand.
And I'll pay you interest if I have to.
I'm real sorry.
I didn't mean to lose your...
your stuff, and, uh,
and I'll get you your money.
Please.
You'll bring more next time.
I will. I promise.
Thank you. Thank you very much.
I didn't let myself think about
what he was going to do. I couldn't.
Do you know she had a son?
So do I.
Samantha. Yeah.
I've been sent to pick you up for the delivery.
Where is the other guy?
I'm sorry. I thought there was gonna be
some kind of... um...
warning... I'm supposed to work.
No warning. We need to go now.
Quietly.
Okay, I'm just going to grab my purse.
You're coming right now. Leave it.
Alright.
Alright!
Go, go, go.
We pulled this from the convenience store
security camera from across the street.
Look at that. Late model Cadillac. There's two of them.
One of them is Kiet.
Better call Viv and give her this information.
Alright. Do me a favor.
Blow that up for me.
I wanna get a better look at the license plate.
Burns is at home, should we pick him?
I'll take care of it. Got anything yet?
No.
I've got to go.
Alright, thanks, Viv.
Hey, Marty, you okay?
I'm just worried about her.
I know you are.
Hey! Amy, right? You're a friend of my friend Sam.
Did you see her this morning?
Look, I think she's in a little trouble.
I know how to help her,
so if there's anything you can tell me...
She was with a lady.
A lady who had her arm in a sling.
Les Tilman? I'm Special Agent Johnson with the FBI.
Stand up and put your hands where I can see them.
I didn't do nothing. Have you seen this woman?
That bitch tried to kill me this morning.
What happened?
Tell me, or I'll be the second woman
that tries to kill you today.
She attacked me.
She almost broke my arm.
She had me in some kind of thing like this.
Like this? : Yeah. That hurts!
Were there any cars around, people walking by the trailer?
Did anyone see her do this to you? I don't know.
Maybe. There's always people hanging around.
Malone.
I think she got made.
I'm not a cop.
I'm not a cop, please stop.
Stop, please stop.
You remember Elizabeth Rogers?
You had Dwayne Burdock recruit her from an auto parts store two years ago.
Apparently she was last seen with a guy who looks remarkably like you.
Then that same guy happened to threaten Colleen McGrath and now both women are dead.
I didn't kill anybody.
Who's that? She's an FBI agent.
Never seen her before.
You're lying. I saw you at her motel room last night.
You move drugs and you're a schmuck.
You take one of my FBI agents and you're a dead man.
Tell me what happened or I'm gonna march you over to Deke.
Show him my badge. Tell him how helpful you are. Then I'm gonna walk away.
Don't think I won't do it, 'cause I don't give a crap about this job.
Alright, look, I didn't take her.
One of my guys was watching to make sure she was straight up.
He saw her go to that other woman's trailer.
Saw what happened and realized she was a cop.
What'd you do? I called my boss, Niran Kiet.
W here'd he take her? I don't know.
Ow!
Where did he take her?
It could have been a couple of places.
Then let's have them.
FBI, get down! Get down!
Turn around, get down.
Viv? We got heroin.
Jack, she's not here.
Get up!
I said get up!
Get her!
* *
FBI, drop your...!
Jack, I'm gonna ride with her.
Call me after you talk to the doctor.
Okay.
Is she going to be okay?
She's beat up pretty bad, but she's going to make it.
It was a tough call to make.
Thanks.
Are you okay?
It looks a lot worse than it is.
I hear you helped me.
I just told the lady.
Thank you.
My mom's taking me to the park.
It's ten blocks and I can't walk it by myself.
Well, you better go then.
Amy?
You can you put this in your room.
Bye.
Let's go, Mom.
Mom?
Samantha.
Yeah, I know, it's been a long time.
No, I was just thinking about you and I...
How are things in Kenosha?
Yeah, I'm fine. I just wanted to call you.
