WOMAN : Oh, please stop! It hurts!
WOMAN: Stop! Stop!
: Stop!
MAN: Be gone!
Stay far from this creature
of God, for it is He who commands you.
: Oh, it hurts!
The majestic Christ who commands you.
Stop! The mystery of the cross commands you!
Oh! Please stop! It hurts! The blood of the martyrs commands you.
Stop! Give praise to the Holy Spirit,
by this sign of the Holy Cross,
Stop! in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Stop!
Sleep now.
MARTIN: Exorcism? As in spinning heads and pea soup?
The last time the girl's family saw her,
she was actually being strapped down for the ritual.
"The ritual." Come on.
So what's the profile on the possessed girl?
Well, apparently you know her.
I do?
Recognize her?
No, but I recognize that dork.
: Yeah, this was my last day
at White Collar, before I came over to Missing Persons.
Mm? So what's her name?
Katie Duncan.
She did a summer internship there in '02.
Man, I do not remember her.
Well, her brother asked for you by name,
said that she'd mentioned you.
Hm. Who was the last person to see her?
The priest.
Police responded to screams.
By the time they got there, he'd long gone.
Probably wanted to avoid them
after his last run-in with them. What kind of run
The suspicion-of-murder kind.
A Brooklyn man died last year while undergoing
an exorcism performed by the same priest.
And where is he now?
Nobody's seen or heard from him. Hm.
Yeah. Here's Millie from Payroll...
and Dave from Security.
I remember most of these people.
I just have no idea who she is.
MARTIN: And when was the last time
you actually saw Father McGuinness?
Um... we must have fallen asleep around 4:00.
He left without waking us.
You think he did something to her.
We're looking into it.
Now, um, has Katie ever just
up and left home before?
Uh, Katie's mentally ill.
She lives on a very regimented schedule.
We have to know where she is all the time.
Right. Was she seeing a psychiatrist?
Dr. Feller.
She takes the train into the city twice a week to see her.
But...
she's been in all kinds of therapy since she was a kid.
And what did her doctor think the diagnosis was?
Which one?
We've been seeing six different doctors.
They all have different opinions.
Which we've been told is actually pretty common.
Look, forgive my-my bluntness,
but given her condition,
why did you let her have an exorcism in the first place?
The exorcism was
Katie's idea.
She asked to see a priest.
So of course I said yes. But...
what led you to believe that she was possessed?
Katie...
felt like there was something dark inside her,
something only God could take away.
The last few days,
she's been even more scared, crying all the time.
She just wanted somebody to help her.
I just think we should hear what Father McGuinness has to say.
This is... beyond
everything, Katie-- this is not a solution.
KATIE: How do you know?!
I mean, you don't know
what it's like in here, going to sleep every night
hoping that I'll wake up better, and I don't.
I wake up and everything's the same,
and I just want it to stop, and nobody's doing anything!
Nobody's doing anything?
Hey. McGUINNESS: Mr. Duncan,
you have to understand that
Katie's problems are not mental, they are spiritual.
Only God can cast that evil out.
No offense, Father, but there are people
with medical degrees who are a little more qualified
to say what's wrong with my sister.
No offense, but none of those medical degrees
is doing your sister any good.
Well, we just...
we-we just need to keep trying.
I don't want to keep trying.
Please, I want to do this.
Please, Mom.
I just... I want it to stop.
What harm can it do?
I shouldn't have gone along with it.
Was there anyone that
Katie may have run off to?
Friends, extended family?
No.
My husband died in '93,
and we really don't have any other family around here.
She didn't have any friends, just us.
Okay, I'm gonna need the phone number for the parish priest,
as well as Dr. Feller.
Of course. Excuse me.
Yeah, go ahead.
Thanks for coming by so fast.
Oh, no problem.
Katie said you were always really nice to her.
Well, uh...
she was always easy to be nice to.
What do you think?
Well, it's big.
And it's, you know, it's ten minutes from work...
You hate it.
It's, uh...
it's old.
Honey, we can't afford new. I mean, look at this rug, Jack.
I mean, there's generations of germs growing in this thing.
You can't put a baby down on it.
Honey, you pull it up.
There's probably hardwood floors underneath.
Holes in the walls. Spackle.
And then that linoleum
in that bathroom-- that is disgusting.
I mean, they should be ashamed.
You know what? Let's just go.
Wait. Do you like it?
Look, we're not gonna buy a place that you don't like.
I didn't say I don't like it.
Look, I asked you if you hated it, you didn't say no.
I just think we should maybe wait
and find someplace with a little less history.
Okay.
Let's go. Let's go.
WOMAN: I know that Katie
was frustrated with her treatment,
but an exorcism?
Why frustrated?
Katie had a lot of... different symptoms--
depression, mania,
even occasional glimpses of psychosis.
Would she hurt herself?
No, I doubt it.
Katie wanted the husband, the kid,
the white picket fence.
She lived for the future.
I don't think that she'd give that up.
And how long have you been seeing her?
I treated her for about a year.
Treated
Well, she stopped coming to her appointments
about two months ago.
And did you call the family,
tell them that she was missing sessions?
She's an adult-- I can't call her family
just because she won't obey my wishes. Right.
And have you seen her since?
Heard from her last week.
She sounded...
unwell.
So I stopped by her house to see her.
Is he gone?
Is who gone?
The man. The man that was there.
Is he gone?
There's nobody out there, Katie.
Let's talk about your meds.
Why? They don't work.
They don't do anything.
I'm tired and I'm nauseous,
and the voices are still there.
Then we'll up your dosage.
Or we'll change your cocktail.
I'm gonna write you
a new prescription. Yeah, but none of them work.
They just... they sit there like little rocks,
and you can skip them.
You can skip them all day.
You can skip them on the surface of the water.
What's going on with you, Katie?
: I'm just afraid...
...if I have kids, they're going to be like me.
Well, there's a chance that your kids can inherit
some of your mood problems-- but it's treatable,
just like yours, with the right medication.
So say I take your pills,
say I do everything that you tell me to do.
Am I going to be normal?
You're going to be better.
We made an appointment after that, but she never kept it.
Well, she said that there was a man standing outside her house.
Did you see him?
Katie had paranoid tendencies.
It wasn't unusual for her to have persecution fantasies.
Are you absolutely positive
nobody was outside her house?
Well, I didn't see anyone.
But I can't say that I'm absolutely positive.
DANNY: Martin.
All right, we just finished the canvass
of Katie's neighborhood.
We found a lady who says she saw
a man parked outside of Katie's house
for a couple days in a row last week,
including the day Dr. Feller was there.
She get a good look at the guy?
Yeah, she's going to come in and talk to a sketch artist.
You talk to the family?
Yeah, yeah, they have no idea
what she was doing in the city on the days of her appointments.
Maybe she was checking out a voodoo doctor on the side.
Sounds like someone thinks this whole exorcism thing
is a load of crap.
Pretty much, yeah.
Wait a minute, I thought you were raised Catholic.
I was. Look...
I'm all for surrendering to a higher power.
I just don't believe in all this hocus-pocus.
Well, I've seen this hocus-pocus stuff work.
Back home, there's this lady named Matilde la Loca.
She's crazy, man, speaks in tongues,
her eyes roll back, the whole thing.
One day she came up to me, she's like
"Danny Taylor, you're going to die."
She scared the hell out of me.
Then she went and she spent two days with Padre De Pio.
She came back brand new.
It's called the power of suggestion.
Did the power of suggestion make her hair turn white overnight?
Maybe it was an evil spirit.
All I'm saying is we don't know everything about everything.
Once in a while you have to take a leap
and believe.
Well, I believe you don't know everything.
Yeah, well, that's what you're choosing to believe.
Taylor.
All right, thanks.
We just caught our friendly neighborhood exorcist
trying to hop a flight to Mexico.
Good news is, we're bringing him in.
Bad news is, we're bringing him in
with a lawyer from the archdiocese.
The church in no way supports
Father McGuinness's actions or his methods.
This is an independent
and unsanctioned member
of the clergy.
If I was taking notes, I'd write that down.
Other than soft extradition laws, Father,
what's in Mexico?
A conference which I've been scheduled to speak at
for over a month.
Was that before or after you decided to kill Katie Duncan?
I didn't harm Katie.
The last time I saw her, she was asleep in her bed.
The demon had been cast out of her.
Mm.
So the exorcism worked.
I believe so.
Like the one in Brooklyn.
Is that what happened?
You have another dead body on your hands,
you had to cover your ass. Father McGuinness
was cleared of any wrongdoing in that case.
You know, if you wanted to cooperate, you could show me
those videotapes of Katie's exorcism.
You made tapes?
Those tapes are protected by clergy privilege.
They are private.
I'll make that determination.
You'll get the tapes after we've had a chance
to review them. Review or alter?
You'll hear from us
in a few hours.
Can't wait.
Father McGuinness.
Wouldn't make any plans to go to Cancun if I were you.
I'll need to talk to you soon.
They could be destroying evidence
of the murder as we speak.
I can subpoena the tapes.
But the church can argue
that the tapes are protected by clergy privilege,
and that way we'd be out of luck.
It was an exorcism.
There was no confessional seal to be broken.
I agree.
But the judge could also argue
that it's privileged communication.
Which we could appeal.
But that would take weeks.
We don't have weeks.
Jack, every time you deal with the church
doesn't mean you're going to run into a conspiracy.
Look, I think I know these people better than you.
That's true, but I don't have a massive chip on my shoulder.
Look, just subpoena the tapes, okay?
As soon as humanly possible.
I contacted the Realtor.
She's sending over some new listings.
Look, everybody in New York wants a brand-new apartment.
But I might be the only one who believes in
the apartment-as-a-metaphor- for-a-relationship thing.
As long as you're happy.
It scares me when you're reasonable.
Hmm.
I'll call you when I get any information, yeah?
Thank you.
I'm sorry to bother you; I know you're busy.
No, no problem.
Um, what can I do for you?
Anything on Father McGuinness?
Well, we talked to him, and we're checking into his story,
but, uh, we're also checking into a man who was seen
outside your house last week.
Did Katie happen to mention anyone following her?
No.
But it's not like she hasn't before.
They're never real.
Um, we also found a bank account
in Katie's name here in the city.
Seems like she's been depositing about
$100 a week for the past eight weeks.
Katie did not have a job, is that correct?
She hasn't been able to work in over four years.
But I had a feeling she might have been
getting money from somewhere.
Knock, knock, who's there?
Sorry.
Hey, it's 4:00 a.m.
I'm not tired.
You haven't slept in three days.
That's because I feel too good to sleep.
How do I look?
Hmm?
You look great.
You know, I have to agree.
How'd you pay for the dress?
I just sold some things, okay?
What things?
What is your problem?
I don't believe you
is my problem. Did you get a job?
No.
Katie...
You know Mom and I don't think you're ready to go back to work.
Yeah, I know what you think.
But I'm a grown woman; I'm not a child
anymore. I know that.
But you can't just do everything you want.
I mean, you can't just get dressed up and go to clubs
to meet guys.
You know what?
Maybe I will go out and I'll meet somebody,
and we'll get married,
and we'll move really far away from here,
and then people here will stop looking at me
and thinking I'm a freak!
Nobody thinks you're a freak.
Now I don't believe you.
I should have just let her have her moment.
She was happy for once.
A couple of days later, she did a complete 180.
Um, do you have any idea who she might have been dressing up for?
No.
She hadn't gone on a date since college.
That's a long time.
She'd like to.
But she knows it's going to take someone
pretty special to be able to deal with her... issues.
Right.
I guess she's just waiting for Mr. Right.
Aren't we all?
Fine, all right, you're a genius.
Okay, you happy? I said it.
Let me call you back.
Okay, bye.
Who's the genius?
Ann.
She lucked out.
The judge agreed to give us all of Katie's exorcism tapes.
Oh, good.
Well, we tracked her deposits
to an ATM next to the PR firm where she worked four years ago.
The last couple of months she's been delivering lunches there.
So what, you think she's tangled up
in the dangerous world of food delivery?
Well, it's a dangerous world of something.
About a week ago, an exec by the name of Tracy Harrison
was murdered.
She had her head bashed in
with a fire extinguisher in the office garage.
MAN: I still can't believe
what happened to Tracy.
She was here a week ago and then just like that...
Did Tracy and Katie deal with
a lot of the same people?
Not really.
Katie's only here a couple hours a week.
She mostly just deals with me.
So you know about her condition?
Yeah, she confided in me back then.
That's why she left.
Why did you rehire her?
You knew she was unstable.
Well, she wasn't really looking for a career.
She just wanted to feel normal.
I have a niece who's bipolar, so I kind of know
what it's like for Katie.
Um, I made up something I thought she could handle.
Which was what, exactly?
She brings in takeout twice a week.
Everybody throws in a couple extra bucks.
It's a delivery charge.
Never seen anybody so grateful
for such a trivial job.
When was the last time you saw her?
She came to my office a couple of days
before Tracy died.
Tell me what's going on.
I don't want to get anybody in trouble.
Katie, come on, you've got to tell me.
Otherwise, I'm just going to have to fire everybody.
Tell me what happened.
I was bringing lunch in today.
Something smells good.
Oh, it's Thai food from Bangkok Grill.
No, no, it's not that.
It's you.
What is that perfume?
Prell. It's shampoo.
It's, um, green.
Your cologne is very good.
It's called vodka gimlet.
You ever been to Bistro on Fifth?
No.
They make the best gimlets.
We should go sometime.
Yeah, you know, I don't really drink.
Oh, come on, everybody drinks sometimes.
Stop.
George.
Can I see you in my office?
Come on, Tracy, I...
Now, George.
Are you okay?
Sorry.
: I'm sorry.
It's okay.
Look, I'm going to try harder.
I promise, I'm never going to be a problem again.
No, it's okay.
You didn't do anything wrong.
I'll take care of it.
Turns out, I didn't need to take care of anything.
Tracy fired George right then and there.
DANNY: And Katie came back to work?
Even after the whole George thing?
She was supposed to come back that Friday--
the day after Tracy died, but she didn't.
I assumed it had something to do with that.
Did you tell the police about George?
Yeah, the whole office did.
I mean, I heard they interviewed him,
but they haven't arrested him yet.
George Lewis.
Two drunken disorderly,
two domestic violence, no convictions.
The police liked him for the Tracy Harrison murder,
but they didn't have enough evidence.
It's a hell of a motive.
How hard they look?
Well, no identifiable prints,
no witness putting George at the scene.
If George killed Tracy for firing him,
it's likely that he went looking for Katie.
Well, he did-- a neighbor ID'd him
from his photo.
So she wasn't imagining a man outside her house.
Do we know where he is?
We're looking.
Jack, I need you to listen to something.
Okay, thanks.
: Stop! For it is he who commands you.
Get away from her!
Does McGuinness ever get rough with her? No, but listen to this.
Go ahead and isolate Katie's voice and back it up.
One sec, I got to filter out the lower frequencies.
Sorry.
You're killing her! Stop!
You're killing her.
MARTIN: Okay, stop.
Doesn't that sound less like someone who is possessed
and more like someone who is describing a murder?
Where was she the night that Tracy Harrison was killed?
We're not sure, but she asked for the exorcism
the day after the murder.
You know, her mother said that she kept having these visions.
I don't think she was hallucinating.
I think that she may have witnessed
Tracy Harrison's murder.
I've never seen him.
One of your neighbors said they saw him outside your house.
Katie never mentioned someone following her?
No.
Did she ever say anything about witnessing a crime?
Why?
Well, a woman was killed at Katie's work.
We think she may have witnessed that happening,
which might have something to do
with her seeking out the exorcism.
Uh...
if she saw something, she wouldn't have told me.
I would have just told her to go take her pills.
I... I don't know.
Maybe she did and I... and I just wasn't paying attention.
Did she say anything at all to you that seemed unusual?
Understand, it's all unusual.
You never know what's going to come out of her mouth.
When she was little,
we used to talk about boys and school
and who was mean and who was nice.
The last few years
it's all about psychic mind control.
Pharmaceutical conspiracies.
It's exhausting.
I don't know how many times she's woken me up
in the middle of the night.
And I want to listen.
I want to be a good mother.
But this stuff coming out of her mouth,
it just doesn't make any sense.
And so I just tune her out.
She's just been sick for so long.
I'm just...
...so tired.
JACK: Great. Great, great, great. All right, thank you.
Hey.
I was just coming to see you.
NYPD just arrested George Lewis coming out of a bar.
Oh, well, if you're going to ask me about those videotapes,
I don't think they're going to help you... at all.
Yeah, but they constitute supporting evidence,
if we extract a confession from him.
That's a big "if."
Because without it, it won't hold up in court.
Sorry, sorry, sorry.
Did you say extract a confession?
No.
So, uh, I'll see you tonight?
Okay.
Should we meet at our place?
What do you mean our place?
I called the Realtor on the loft.
We are in escrow.
We are?
On that dump?
I took another look, and there is nothing wrong
with that apartment that can't be fixed
with a little bit of work.
Good?
So I'll see you there?
Sure.
I'll bring the spackle.
Why am I here?
You nervous?
Yes.
You're not nervous because of me,
are you?
I mean, guys like you
I told the cops, I didn't touch Tracy.
Well, you're not here because of Tracy.
You're here because of Katie Duncan.
The lunch girl from the office?
I barely know her.
Well, apparently that didn't stop you
from trying to feel her up, did it?
Where is she?
I haven't seen her.
Not since that day at work.
You saw her two days after that day at work.
See, her neighbors ID'd you
from your photo-- lie to me again, George.
Come on.
I went to her house.
I just went to talk.
Katie!
You don't open this door, I'm just going to come back tomorrow
and the day after and the day after.
I have no job, remember?
What, what do you want?
I want you to tell Buchanan to give me my job back.
Just go away, okay.
Please?
Not until you say you'll talk to him.
What am I supposed to say?
Just tell him that it was blown out of proportion.
It was all a big misunderstanding.
Whatever. Just tell him that
we're cool now and he should give me my job back.
I can't just tell Chris what to do.
Sure you can.
He'll listen to you.
No, I'm the lunch girl.
Come on, seriously?
You haven't noticed?
Noticed what?
He's crazy about you.
Look, he's the boss. He can't ask you out,
but everybody knows he wants to.
He respects your opinion.
He'll listen to you.
So be a good girl,
please.
Help me out.
I knew she had a thing for Buchanan.
I figured it was a good angle.
Did Buchanan really have a thing for her?
I don't know.
But she was like a puppy.
He could have done her anytime he wanted.
You know what, George,
that's a really interesting story.
Here's the thing.
You had motive, you had opportunity.
Right now, you're my best suspect.
What makes you think I would believe
that you didn't hurt Katie?
I needed her to go to Buchanan and get my job back.
If I hurt her, how is that going to help me do that, hmm?
Great, thanks.
Hey, I've been looking for you.
George Lewis's alibi checks out.
He was on a flight from Chicago.
Well, I just looked into Buchanan's financials.
Last week he bought a $20,000 engagement ring,
had it engraved "For "Tracy, with all my love."
He never told us he was having a relationship
with Tracy Harrison.
Keeping an office romance a secret, imagine that.
Buchanan picked up the ring the morning that Tracy was killed,
but they never found it on her.
So maybe he hadn't proposed yet.
Maybe he did.
She said no and he couldn't handle the rejection.
So he beats her to death?
Seems a little extreme.
It could be what Katie saw.
I think it's worth checking into.
I'll catch up with you later.
Buchanan's not home
and the neighbors haven't seen him all day.
Isaiah here says he saw him about an hour ago.
Taylor. Tell him what you told me.
He was with a girl.
I heard him screaming.
I went over to get a good look.
WOMAN: Let go of me!
Don't touch me!
Katie. Katie...
Hey, what's going on over there? Hey, What's going on over here?
Did you talk to him?
No, he got into a car and booked it after her,
before I could get close.
DANNY: All right, thank you.
That was Buchanan's office.
He got into a car wreck.
No sign of Katie.
Don't I get a phone call?
Why
You tell me.
No, you tell us where Katie Duncan is,
and then you can leave.
I told the other guy I don't know where she is.
Then why were you chasing her?
Did you go after her because
she saw what you did to Tracy Harrison?
I didn't do anything to Tracy.
No? Then where were you
the night she was killed?
I was at my place, waiting for her,
with an engagement ring and a bottle of champagne.
So then why did Katie come to see you tonight?
I don't know.
She wasn't making a lot of sense.
Chris?
Katie?
I, uh...
I just wanted to see you.
Have you been here all day?
It's freezing.
I was just waiting for you to come home.
Your family has been looking everywhere for you.
They're really worried.
They're always worried.
But it's okay.
They don't have to worry about me anymore.
Come on, let me give you a ride, okay?
No, I'm...
I'm exactly where I want to be.
Look... I'm going to take you home.
Oh, my God.
Katie.
Everything is going to be all right.
Look, I'm going to take you to the hospital, okay?
No!
Yes, you need help.
No, I do not need help. I'm fine!
You are not fine.
Listen to me.
Did you know that the FBI is looking for you?
Why?
They think that whoever attacked Tracy
may have hurt you, too.
What happened to Tracy?
Someone assaulted her at work last week...
...and she died.
You were there.
Katie, what are you talking about?
I saw you.
You were kissing her.
You said something.
I couldn't hear you.
And then you left.
She thought she was alone.
Wait, wait, how do you know that?
Because she wasn't alone.
I was there, too.
What did you see?
I remember her face.
Did you see who killed her?
Let go of me! What did you see?
Did you see who killed her?
Let me go! Get off of me.
Hey, what's going on over there?!
The newsstand vendor said that he saw you go after her.
I didn't know what to do,
so I got in my car and I tried to find her.
I wasn't really looking where I was going,
so I plowed into a garbage truck.
Did you happen to see where she went?
No.
What I'm saying is, he lied to the police,
and he's lying to us.
All right, but why place himself at the crime scene if he's guilty?
So he can blame it on a crazy girl
who's conveniently missing.
Look, Katie told George Lewis that she would go see Buchanan.
And she's the only one who can place Buchanan and Tracy
together in the parking garage.
If she thought she could have a life with this guy,
seeing him with another woman
may have pushed her over the edge.
She snapped, grabbed the fire extinguisher, and killed Tracy.
And what, the devil makes her do it?
You know, maybe she really believed that.
Because it's the only way she can make sense of what she did.
She needed the exorcism to make it all go away.
Which works until Buchanan reminded her of the murder.
Right.
I'll tell you, if exorcism was her last resort,
and that didn't work, I don't even want to think about
where she goes after that.
Well, we got the police on an alert.
If they hear from her they'll call us.
Agent Fitzgerald.
Agent Fitzgerald, it's Laura Duncan.
Yeah, Mrs. Duncan, how can I help you?
She's home.
Katie's home.
She just walked in the front door and she's fine.
Okay.
She's home.
We need PD over there right away.
Mrs. Duncan, I need to know where Katie is right now.
Is she with you?
Yeah, she's upstairs.
She said she was just really tired and wanted to go to sleep.
All right, listen to me.
I need you to go upstairs and stay with her.
Why?
What's wrong?
Just keep an eye on her
until we get there, okay?
She's not in her room.
Katie!
Come on.
Look, just find her, okay?
I think she's taking a shower.
Katie?
Mrs. Duncan, talk to me.
Katie?
Mrs. Duncan, talk to me.
Katie, honey!
Oh.
Katie!
Tough case.
It's closed.
How's Katie's family?
You know, I never did remember her.
I tried, but...
But, you know.
I'll see you in the morning.
You take care.
All right.
Good night.
Excuse me.
Um, what's your name again?
Bonnie.
Bonnie. Bonnie, that's right.
I'm Martin.
Yeah.
Well, um, you have a good night.
Good night.
Bye.
Hello.
Hey.
What are you doing?
Enjoying the view.
Wondering what would happen if I dropped a penny.
Why is it so dark in here?
I don't think lightbulbs were included in the price.
I'm not surprised.

Do you want to dance?
Would I kill the moment
if I said no?
