DOCENT: Now the mesozoic era was known as the age of reptiles.
The time where over 300 species of dinosours ruled our planet.
Covering the land
flying in the sky and even swimming in the sea.
Until recently the extinction of the dinosaurs
was thought to have been brought about by climate changes
caused by a massive asteroid
which crashed into the Earth some 65 million years ago.
But now many scientists believe
that it was caused by huge volcanic eruptions
that covered the Earth with burning hot lava
in the Triassic and Jurassic periods.
( slurred ): Triassic, Jurassic...
Cretaceous.
( softly ): Jurassic...
Go stand with Ian. Why do I have to?
Because you're a good brother.
Dad. Go. Come on.
( sighs )
And now mammles exist just about every eco-system in the world.
And if you follow me this way you'll get to see
what kinda animals like living in the freezing cold.
Ian, we gotta go.
I don't want to go.
I checked out the next exhibit.
It's totally cool.
They got polar bears and penguins.
You'll like it.
( whimpering )
Dad, he won't move.
Come on, pal. Time to go. Let's go.
Already told him that.
Ian, you went over this with Mom last night, remember?
Uh-uh.
Now, this is how a field trip works.
We're just gonna walk with Miss Laura,
and we're gonna go to the next exhibit, okay?
( grunting )
Dad, everyone's looking.
Hey. Come on. You can do this.
Let's go. No!
Ian, hey, listen to me! Listen to me! Listen to me!
Listen to me. Ian, listen to me!
Just come on!
No!
Damn it, Ian, I'm sick of this.
You alright?
Ian!
A rotunda guard called it in to Central after the boy ran off,
and nothings popped on the security tapes.
What level of autism are we dealing with?
He's part of a mainstreaming program, so high functioning.
But he has a tendency to run off,
that's why the father was chaperoning.
Where's the father now?
Ian wears a locating device on his wrist.
Apparently, the father forgot the receiver at home.
He went back to get it.
Where's home? Downtown.
He's been gone for two hours.
That's a long time. What about the mother?
She was at work. Sam's gonna meet her at their apartment.
That's the brother, Eliot.
We get anything outta him?
Not yet. He's still shaken up.
( device beeping steadily )
Dad.
It's okay. It's alright. I got him. He's in here.
Mr. Norville, where have you been?
Just a minute.
Look, stay here with Miss Laura, okay?
Excuse me, Mr. Norville.
I think we need to talk.
( device beeping faster )
He's down here.
( beeping continues )
Ian.
NORVILLE: Ian!
( beeping continues )
Ian!
( beeping faster )
( extremely fast beeping )
( beeping stops )
Let's see his locator device.
Oh, my God.
No, no, don't touch it.
Call Forensics. Get them to come have a look at it.
645, we need Forensics down here.
( garbled radio transmission )
( phone rings ) Alright, thank you.
( clears throat )
Hey, Jack.
So no hits on the photo yet.
I've got three teams deployed in the park
and NYPD is assisting with the, uh, perimeter cordon.
How are we doing on the chopper?
Preliminary pass came up with squat, he's heading back in now.
What about the list of museum employees?
That would be Viv and Dan.
I'll call you if anything comes up.
Okay, great. Thanks.
So, anything?
No, not yet.
We have air and ground searches underway,
and NYPD is on the case.
I should be out there looking.
I don't think that that's a good idea,
Mr. Norville. It's not helpful.
Excuse me?
I think you should stay here with me.
You've any idea how many times I've chased him and found him?
No, not really, but I wann help you find your son
and in order to do that, I have to ask you few questions first.
Go ahead.
Okay, now, according to the museum guard,
uh, Ian went missing at about 12:30, correct? Yes.
Okay, now, you were gone for, uh, two hours.
I was looking for Ian... everywhere.
I don't know for how long, exactly, maybe 45 minutes.
Where'd you look?
The bathroom first, and then I went over to the planetarium.
There's a service entrance by the exit.
So I looked under the trucks.
He likes tight spaces, stairwells, behind garbage cans.
Why is that?
He looks for places that are warm,
you know, familiar, quiet.
It makes him feel safe. Mm-hmm.
How do you account for the rest of your time?
Then I had to go downtown to get the receiver
and then get back here.
Mm-hmm. And how did you get there?
I have a car. What is this?
I'm trying to establish a timeline, Mr. Norville.
You think I did something to my child.
There are witnesses who saw you yelling at him.
Yes. I was frustrated.
Having a child with those kind of problems can be frustrating.
I understand. No.
I'm quite sure that you don't.
Why would somebody do that?
How'd they even know what it's used for?
The locator looks just like a wristwatch.
Is it possible that Ian cut it off himself?
No.
No. He's been wearing it for years.
He doesn't even really understand what it's for.
Can I ask you-- I, I don't really know much about autism.
Um, how much does your son understand
about what's going on around him?
Ian is what doctors call high functioning.
He has an elevated IQ,
but he still struggles
with social issues and communicating with others.
Does he have any special skills?
( chuckles ): You mean like Rainman?
No.
Although he is pretty good
at escaping from the apartment.
Can't be easy living in the city.
We've taken some hits money-wise,
but we're making it work.
Daniel's cut back his hours at the firm so he can help out.
Ian needs his own room now, so...
Eliot is in our bedroom.
That can't be easy, either.
When Ian was first diagnosed...
Daniel and I took a coping class
for parents with autistic children.
The instructor looked around
at all the couples in the class and said
that in five years, 80% of us would be divorced.
We had...
no idea how hard this would be.
Um... ( clears throat )
Ian's teacher says that
he has an individual aid at school?
Anu Singh. She's Ian's one-to-one assistant.
She, uh, she was supposed to go on the field trip today?
Yeah, but she called in sick last night,
so my husband volunteered to go instead.
We try to prepare Ian
for trips outside the house,
I mean, to the last detail.
And Anu was part of that plan.
I went over it with him yesterday.
This is exactly what you're gonna see.
There's gonna be whales, dinosaurs
and all kinds of creatures.
Okay.
Alright, you see all the people? Uh-huh.
They're gonna be there too, you might've to line up behind 'em
and wait your turn to see, just like at the zoo. Remember?
I remember. Okay.
Now, it might get really loud in there
because people's voices are gonna be bouncing off the walls
and the hallways. So if it gets too loud
you tell Anu, and you can walk to another room.
Okay? Okay.
This is what you're gonna wear tomorrow.
It is your favorite blue sweater.
Is it too scratchy?
Not scratchy.
Are you sure?
I'm sure.
You are gonna have so much fun tomorrow.
You're gonna be so great.
I love you.
I love you, too, Mom.
Mm.
Did you know that your husband
forgot to bring the receiver for the locating device?
No. Well, he said he rushed home to get it.
Um, does he normally bring that with him?
Yeah. Almost always.
I mean, particularly on days like today.
( door opens )
Oh, honey, come here.
( weeping ): I tried to find him, Mom.
I know, sweetie. I know.
It's okay.
( kisses )
VIVIAN: Yeah, thanks. Forensics called.
Looks like Ian's watch was cut off with a small blade.
They're sending over print and blood work.
Sam just sent me a list of Ian's therapists and helpers.
We had any luck on finding
Ian's one-to-one assistant? Yeah.
Anu Singh, immigrated from India in '97.
Masters in Social Work from Columbia.
Mm, nice resume. Now where the hell is she?
The apartment super says he hasn't seen her all day.
I'm not loving that she's gone missing the same time as Ian.
Yeah, she's one of the few people
that knew enough to cut off Ian's locating device.
I'm gonna put somebody on her apartment.
Okay.
Hey, Elliot.
Hey.
What are you reading?
It's a book on insects.
Ooh, not a big fan, myself.
Yeah, they're kind of gross, I guess.
Yeah.
Listen, I need to ask you about what happened today
at the museum.
Would that be alright?
Okay.
Why did Ian run?
Well... we were supposed to go to the next area--
it was the polar bears--
but Ian really liked the dinosaurs,
and he wouldn't move.
I tried to make him go, but then he got agitated and ran away.
Because your dad yelled at him? No, because I touched him.
Oh.
So, what happened next?
Well, my dad went and ran after Ian,
and I did the same thing.
But you were looking on your own?
Yeah.
Your mom says you're pretty good at finding your brother.
I can usually figure it out.
What happened the last time you found him?
Well, he ran away when my mom was in the shower.
It was pretty cold outside, so I knew where he would hide.
Hey.
This is a good place.
Remember when we found that place at camp?
The hole in the tree where we put cans of tuna and army men?
Yeah, that'd be cool if we found a place like that in the park.
Then we could go there anytime we want.
I don't play with army men anymore, Elliot.
We could bring a Game Boy.
Or Prismacolor pencils and white draft paper?
Yeah.
Mom's crying, Ian.
I think we need to go home now.
Come on, Ian.
I don't know why he runs.
I just know how to find him.
If he was running to somebody, who would that be?
Maybe Anu,
his aid.
And, um, what about, uh, people in uniform, guards?
Would he approach any of them?
I don't think so.
Do you think someone like that could hurt him?
I think Ian's gonna be fine. We just need to find him.
I don't want you to worry, okay?
( sighs )
Okay.
Hey, Viv, look at this.
You know that list of museum employees Martin sent over?
One of the guards on duty when Ian went missing
is named John Sewall, which is a nice name,
except it doesn't match the social.
Name change?
No, and he hasn't paid a tax return in three years.
Got to be an alias. Yep.
And here's his real name, John Larabee.
And he's a felon.
John Larabee? Hi, Special Agent Taylor with the FBI.
Wait, I'm confused. Your name tag says John Sewall.
Hmm, hadn't noticed.
Huh. You know, there was a John Larabee that stole
some artifacts from the Philadelphia Museum of Art
a couple of years back.
There must be some mix-up. Yeah, probably a mix-up.
You know, if I'm that John Larabee
and I wanna continue my pilfering ways
at a new museum, I'd change my name.
I'd probably change it to a name just like John Sewall.
Hmm.
Where's the kid, huh?
I don't know anything about no kid.
Then why'd you run? Because you were about to bust me.
You bet your ass-- I saw that surveillance video,
and when that kid went missing, you weren't at your post.
I didn't do anything to him. I swear it.
I saw him, but that's it.
Where, where'd you see him?
Down in the basement.
( groaning ) Ow!
What are you doing down here?!
What the hell happened to you, kid?
( moaning )
( moans loudly )
You didn't stop him? No, he took off fast.
Why didn't you report it?
By the time I came back, he was gone.
Or maybe you were stealing, he caught you,
and that's why he ended up so bloody.
I didn't touch the kid.
We'll see about that. Let's go.
No, I've never seen him before.
You didn't come across him in the basement
when you were looking for Ian?
No. I assume he's in custody?
We're interviewing him as we speak, and if he's telling
the truth, we're gonna look elsewhere.
And where would that be? We're having trouble
locating your son's one-to-one assistant.
Anu?
She wouldn't do anything to Ian.
She's like a member of our family.
You said she called in sick today
but she hasn't been home all day.
That doesn't make any sense.
Is it possible that she formed an unnatural attachment to Ian?
MRS. NORVILLE: She's very attached to Ian, but unnatural?
No, I-I don't think so. No, is there anything else?
'Cause we've another son with a neighbor,
and we should get home to him.
As a matter of fact, I'm gonna need a blood sample from you.
Why? As you know,
we found traces of blood
in the basement where your son went missing.
And you need mine to see if I harmed my son?
It's standard procedure.
Are you saying that my husband is a suspect now?
I'm saying that it's standard procedure.
SAMANTHA: You know, I can take you home, Mrs. Norville.
Go ahead.
Right this way.
Anu?
Excuse me. Anu Singh?
Yes? Special Agent Johnson.
What's going on?
We've been trying to reach you all day.
You called in to work sick.
Yes? But you haven't been home.
No. Why does this matter?
We believe that Ian Norville was kidnapped
from the Academy of Natural History this afternoon.
Oh, my God. By whom?
I need to know where you were around noon.
And please, don't tell me you were sick in bed.
I went to an interview for another job.
So you won't be working with the Norvilles anymore?
I wasn't sure how long they were gonna need me.
Why is that?
Because they were having trouble deciding what to do with Ian.
Need periwinkle for the volcano.
What do you say?
Thank you.
To me, Ian. Show me your pretty eyes when you say thank you.
Thank you.
MR. NORVILLE: Anu?
ANU: I'll be back in a second.
How's he doing?
Very well today.
Today.
Did Kate tell you about last night? No.
He and Elliot got into a disagreement.
You call that a disagreement? He nearly broke Elliot's arm.
We eventually calmed him down.
It took more time than usual.
Look, we're not sure we know how to handle him anymore.
He's getting older and stronger and more determined,
and I just don't see a light at the end of the tunnel.
I understand how difficult it is,
but I think we're making some progress.
I heard about this boarding school.
They specialize in autistic kids.
It's upstate about two hours,
but they've got this great reputation.
I know the school.
You don't think it's a good idea?
They do good work, but I don't think
it's exactly what Ian needs right now.
Maybe it's what we need. That's not what Anu was saying.
With all respect, Anu doesn't have to live in this house!
I'm sorry, but we've been at this for nine years!
And Ian's life is not getting any better,
and I know ours isn't.
So the answer is to out-source our son?
This is not just about Ian.
We have another child, and he's been getting
the short end of the stick his entire life.
Removing his brother is gonna help that?
I think you should discuss this some other time.
When was this? Last week.
I've seen this happen before
with parents, and I really didn't want
to be caught in the middle,
so I went to look for another job.
It sounds like Mr. Norville's at the end of his rope.
I didn't understand it, really.
Most parents I know wear down gradually.
It's inevitable.
But with Mr. Norville, he was always so patient
and positive with Ian.
Then something changed... almost overnight.
Hmm.
Maintenance crew working on an irrigation line
found it about 20 minutes ago.
Thanks. No problem.
I'll take it from here, guys.
( garbled radio transmission )
NYPD found this in the park.
It matches the description of what Ian was wearing.
No one saw him? No.
It's a pretty remote area.
Alright, we know the locator was cut off in the museum.
How'd this get in the park?
The kidnapper grabbed him in the museum,
dragged him into the park, shoe fell off in the struggle.
How we doing with the security guard from the museum?
NYPD checked his apartment, and when they went in there,
they found a bunch of stolen fossils, bones
even a dinosaur head, so, obviously, the guy was stealing
which explains why he wasn't at his post
and why he didn't come forward about the kid.
And Anu Singh's alibi checks out.
The family she interviewed with confirmed that she was there
from 11:00 till 2:00.
Which leaves us Ian's father.
What's the motive? I don't know, but he's been angry
and volatile, belligerent with Jack.
Plus, he disappeared for two hours after Ian took off.
Alright, so he chases the kid.
He is tired, frustrated. They struggle.
There's an accident and the father tries to cover it up.
Didn't you say that
the father's attitude suddenly changed about a week ago?
Yeah, well, according to the assistant. Why?
Well, I checked through the list of Ian's therapists.
Dr. Rosalyn Whittmar. Ian's been seeing her three times a week
for the last two years, but the receptionist at her office said
that Ian stopped coming about a week ago.
She didn't know why, just that Ian's father called
and canceled all of his appointments.
Oh.
I felt there were real possibilities
for Ian's improvement. Really?
Why do you think Mr. Norville canceled his sessions?
Did you ask him? We haven't yet, but we're concerned
that it may be related to Ian's disappearance.
I'm not sure I feel comfortable
talking in specifics about Ian's treatment.
Well, why don't you just talk to us about Daniel Norville?
I will say that Mr. Norville seemed displeased
with the results of some tests I had ordered.
Tests on Ian?
It's more complicated than that.
I was pursuing a new area for Ian's treatment,
at Daniel's insistence.
The tests involved doing a full work-up
on the parents as well as Ian.
Daniel asked to see the results.
And that's when I told him. Told him what?
The tests revealed that he is not Ian's biological father.
And Mr. Norville didn't know this before?
Judging by his reaction, apparently not.
He was furious.
So you're not Ian's biological father.
That's correct.
Why'd you choose not to tell us
about that particular piece of information?
Because I didn't think it was relevant.
Mr. Norville, I would really like to think
that you're innocent, but your behavior is erratic.
What does this have to do with my son missing?
Not only did you have means and opportunity,
you now have motive. I didn't hurt Ian.
I'm going to need you to take a polygraph test.
Fine.
Why didn't you tell me this before?
I don't know.
Were you covering for your husband?
No.
I'm gonna need to know who the father is.
His name is Nick Graham. Where is he?
He's in Arizona. He doesn't even have any idea that Ian is his.
And neither did your husband until a week ago.
No.
Well, I'd imagine he was pretty angry.
No, not at first; he was just wounded.
You've been lying to me for all these years.
I mean, every minute, every day.
I didn't know.
I swear to you. I didn't know for sure.
So who's the guy?
It's no one you know.
It was when we were separated.
I thought it was over between us and then we got back together
and then next thing you know I-I'm pregnant.
I wasn't even sure if Ian was yours or his.
And you didn't think that you could tell me the truth?
I wanted to.
I wanted to tell you so many times.
But the way that you are with him...
you're such a good father...
I didn't want to hurt you.
I just didn't see the point. Daniel...
I am so sorry.
What am I supposed to do now, huh?
I mean, how am I supposed to feel?
And few days later he starts talking about sending Ian away.
Yes. And then today,
he forgets to bring his locating device.
Yes. When Ian ran,
your husband was unaccounted for for almost two hours.
Mrs. Norville, I need to know
if there is any part of you that believes your husband
could have done something to Ian.
Is your name Daniel Lawrence Norville?
Yes.
And your birth date is October 16, 1963.
Yes.
Have you ever physically harmed the boy named Ian Norville.
No.
Did you physically harm Ian Norville this morning?
Absolutely not.
Please answer "yes" or "no."
Did you physically harm Ian Norville this morning?
No.
Have you ever harmed Ian Norville?
No.
Do you feel a sense of relief
now that Ian Norville is missing?
No.
Mr. Norville...
So?
The results were inconclusive.
What does that mean?
It means you can go home for now.
The examiner was unable
to make a determination either way.
You can look me in the eyes and I'll tell you
that I didn't do anything to the boy named Ian Norville.
You wouldn't even be here if you hadn't lied
to me this morning.
I'll call you if I need to talk to you further.
Or if you just want to humiliate me again.
What happened? I don't wanna talk to you now.
No, I wanna know what happened.
They made me take a lie detector.
I think they should've had somebody else there.
Did you pass? Oh, great. You too, now?
No, you hurt him. What did you do? What did I do?
What did I do? I raised him his entire life.
That's what I did. He's my son!
Mr. Norville, you need to calm down!
Because he is destroying us!
No, he's not! He's destroying Elliot!
I did it!
It's my fault.
What did you do?
I did it.
I killed Ian.
What? I killed him.
Elliot, I need you to tell me everything that happened, okay?
Okay.
Me and my dad, we went looking for Ian.
I saw him run down the stairs.
So I followed him and that's when
he went through the door. Into the basement?
ELLIOT: Yeah.
That's where I found him.
( moaning )
Ian?
Ian, it's me.
I want to see Anu.
Anu's not here today.
I want Anu.
Okay, we can call her on dad's phone. Let's go.
( moaning )
Come on, Ian?
Anu... Anu... Come on, Ian.
I want to see Anu. I know, I said we'd call when we get upstairs.
Dad's really mad!
( grunting )
Oh, no. Crap!
Hold on. It's okay, Ian. Hold on, hold on, Ian.
Don't move.
Hold on.
( grunting )
Hold still. Don't move.
Hold still.
Okay, don't move.
Oh, crap, I'm sorry!
( grunting )
Ian! Ian!
SAMANTHA: And before that he was calling for Anu?
Yes. But he was okay?
I don't know.
I cut him and he was bleeding.
He could have died.
Hey, Elliot, you didn't kill Ian.
You didn't kill your brother, okay?
It's my fault. I didn't stop him.
It's okay.
NYPD is setting up a perimeter around Anu's neighborhood.
They know not to touch him unless they have to, right?
Yeah, and I sent one of our therapists, if he turns up.
Even if Ian knew Anu's address,
I don't think he knows how to get there.
He came outta the museum here. They found the shoe here.
He's not headed in her direction.
From everything we know,
his pattern is to seek warmth and comfort.
Familiar places where he can be alone where it's quiet.
On a cold night in Manhattan?
It's not gonna be easy.
His mom prepared him for the field trip, but one element changed.
Anu was supposed to be there, but she called in sick
and Elliot said that his brother was calling for her
from the basement of the museum.
What are you thinking?
We canvassed the park after Ian disappeared
and there was this tourist group from India.
They were taking pictures at Strawberry Fields,
we showed them a picture of Ian but they didn't recognize him.
So you think that he might have followed them
because they reminded him of Anu? It's possible.
The shoe was found right by the bus.
I thought you said they didn't see him?
Maybe that's because he was hiding.
Where, on a bus? A warm quiet place where he could be alone.
Hey, excuse me. I'm with the FBI.
Did you bring back the tour group from New Delhi?
Yeah, I'm just finishing up my inventory.
50 of 'em drank 136 bottles of purified New York City tap water.
When you were near the park, did you happen to see this boy?
Why? Did you see him or not?
Not at the park.
I don't have time for this, Mr...?
Barstatis. If you saw him, just tell me.
He was hiding with the bags when we got back.
Give those legs a rest. Come on, ladies, I'll get your bags for you.
Here's your stuff.
Something for you.
What the...?
What the hell? Kid, what are you doing in there?
Get out! Hey, get out, kid.
I'm going to call the cops.
Come on! Get out!
Hey, I'm not kidding. Get out or I'll call the cops.
Damn it.
You didn't report it? Why should I?
Did you happen to see which way he went? He headed up Camphrey Street about 15 minutes ago.
Hey, listen, what's the big deal?
The little thief was trying to steal stuff while we parked.
Got himself locked in there. I stopped him.
Look, the boy's autistic.
He's lost in a neighborhood he's never been to before.
He may have taken a left on Washington.
Alright, thank you.
( siren wailing )
( garbled radio transmission )
What's going on? Ian was seen around here about five minutes ago.
We've got patrols circling the area so he won't get far.
So here's the plan. We're gonna start here, spread out and push down the block.
Given how he feels about strangers, we thought it'd be better if you were here.
Mr. Norville, come with me. Mrs. Norville, go with Agent Spade.
MARTIN: Elliot, want to come with me?
Let's go find your brother, okay?
Check upstairs. Alright.
( moaning ) Ian?
You okay?
I'm okay.
I'm going to get your father, okay?
Mr. Norville, we found your son.
He's just down the stairwell.
Ian? Ian?
Hey, buddy.
Hi, Dad.
Look, I'm sorry about this morning.
I did the wrong thing.
You raised your voice.
I know,
and I'm sorry.
But your mom and I, we want you to come home now.
Can you do that?
Ian, I love you.
You shouldn't raise your voice.
I know, pal.
And I'm so sorry.
Please, Ian.
Just come home, okay?
Come on, pal.
Come on.
It's alright.
* Will you say to them *
* When I'm gone *
He's going to be okay.
He's cold, he's hungry, but he's going to be okay.
* We both learned to cradle then *
* Live without, o-o-o-o *
* Live without *
Elliot here's ready to become a member of the team.
* O, live without *
You going to take them home?
I think so.
Okay. I'll see you back at the office.
See ya.
Agent Malone?
I should thank you
for everything you did for our family.
I know you were just doing your job. That's not a problem.
To be honest, I hope I never see you again.
Likewise.
