"Say, it's 30 degrees out there, man." "Yeah, no wonder nobody's out." "Oh, wait." "What's that over there?" "Hey, party's over, sweetheart." "Hey, lady, party's over." "Excuse me, miss." "Hey, lady, what are you doing?" "Ma'am, it's below freezing out here." "You need a lift home?" "You been out tonight?" "Partying?" " Get a little too crazy?" " Hold on a second, ma'am." " I have to go." " Hold on, ma'am." " Let go of me!" " Hey, hey." "Relax." "What are you doing?" " Where's your ID, lady?" " I don't know." " Where's your ID?" " Don't touch me." " What's your name, lady?" " I don't know." "I don't know!" "I talked to him last week." "When was his last treatment?" "Yeah, I understand." "Okay." "Yeah, I'll be right there." " Jack, can I talk to you for a sec?" " Sure." "I got a call from a friend of mine in Social Services." "She's got a girl at Cityview Psychiatric who has no ID no recollection of who she is, where she's from." " She's an amnesiac?" " Yeah." "And this qualifies her as a missing person, how?" "It would be a favor." " You don't need me." "Knock yourself out." " Great." "If there's nothing I can do, I'll come right back." " Okay." " Thanks." "She came in five nights ago." "Perfectly normal when you talk to her." "Knows who's president, who Madonna is, what 9/11 was..." " But nothing about herself?" " Zero." "That's her over there." "Doctors think it could be triggered by some intense emotional trauma." "The amnesia develops as a defense mechanism." "The nurses nicknamed her Donna." " Why?" " She had on Donna Karan perfume." "And she's in good health." "The CT scan was clean." "She's been tested for dementia intoxication, symptoms of neurological disorder." "All negative." " Do you think she could be faking it?" " I doubt it." "Lot of people get here starving, looking for three hots and a cot." "She was clean and well-fed." "I've been doing this a while." "She's not like any of my other cases." "She doesn't belong here." "Somebody out there has to be missing her." "Hi." "My name's Samantha Spade, I'm..." "Is there something that I could possibly call you?" "My name would be great." " What are those?" " Cockroaches." "What are you doing with them?" "Categorizing." "There are four species of roaches in New York." "This dump has three." "How do you know that?" "That's what I'm trying to figure out." "Thought if I followed it through, I might remember something." "Any luck?" "Still stuck in this dump, so, what do you think?" "Okay, I'm gonna need to go over some details with you." "Cops said they picked you up on the Lower East Side, do you remember that?" "I already told the other doctors all this, like 10 times." "I'm not a doctor." "I'm a federal investigator." "I work missing-persons cases." "We may have you in our system." "System." "All right, look, here's the thing I'm here as a favor." "If you want to figure out who you are, I can probably help you." "If you don't, I'm done here." "Okay." "It's all vague and patchy." "I remember waking up on the street." "I started walking." "I remember being at a newsstand, and..." "Watch it, lady." "I realized I was lost." "I couldn't recognize a single thing." "Do you remember any distinguishing things about this newsstand around the newsstand, anything like that?" "No." "It's like having a word at the tip of your tongue but it's not a word, it's your entire life." "It's been five days already." "Why hasn't anyone come to find me?" "They probably don't know where to look." "Could you excuse me for a minute?" "This is a really good start." "Excuse me." "Well, what do you think?" "What happens to her if I can't help her?" "No money, no relatives, she'll be sent to a group home." "And without therapy to help her remember, she'll get lost in the system." "Sam, I know you're going way out on a limb here but I could really use your help with this one." "I'm gonna head to the office." "I'm gonna run it by the other agents." " I'm gonna see how far we can take it." " Thanks." "Really." "Sure." "Come in." "What the hell is going on here?" "I'm just sorting through some things here." "The hospital tells me you're suffering kidney failure and you're refusing treatment." " I talked to the other doctors." "I don't need a second opinion, so thank you very much." "Dad, it's me." "It's your son Jack." "Oh, Jack, I..." "What are you doing?" "By refusing dialysis, you could be dead in days." " You have any idea...?" " I don't need help." " What is wrong with you?" " What do you want?" "What is going on?" "I don't see reason to stick around anymore, all right?" "Will you just spare me the dramatics?" "I'm wasting away here." "I'm losing my mind half the time." "I see my grandkids once a year." "You stroll in here every couple of weeks, all we do is fight." " Why do I need it?" " Why didn't you call?" "Why, so you could try to tell me what to do?" "I don't tell you what to do." "What were you gonna do?" "Were you just gonna curl up in a ball and die?" "No." "But I'm going out with as much dignity as I have left." "And besides, it's not your problem." "Like hell it isn't." "Hello, Mac." "Anything yet?" "No, not exactly." "But I did narrow down the unsolved MP files based on gender, age, skin tone." " Okay." "That left me with over a thousand candidates for facial recognition." " How far back are you going?" " Two years." "Focus on the last two months." "And you see that?" "Her roots are very dark, so let's do brunettes before any other hair color." " Can you do that for me?" " I sure can." " Elena." " Yep." "How's it going?" " Slow and steady." "You know how it is." " Yeah." " Is Jack here?" " I haven't seen him." "Why?" "Are we supposed to treat this like a real case?" "I guess." "I mean, theoretically, she could be a missing person." "I got a description of her clothes." "This mean anything to you?" ""Dress by Nicole Miller." "Shoes by Manolo Blahnik."" "That means expensive in Italian." "She's not poor, this girl." "This is what I think." "She went out on a date." "The guy raped her, and she ran." "That could trigger the amnesia." "I ran her prints and DNA through DMV and the victims database, got nothing." "I've got local TV stations running her picture so maybe we'll get a hit that way." " I hope." "The Alzheimer's is progressing at a pretty fast clip." "His dementia's worse, had a bladder infection..." "Yeah." "I understand." "Can we have him declared incompetent?" "We can." " Can you draw up a document?" " Force him to get treatment?" "Look, he's in no condition to make this decision himself." "I'm gonna need the document as soon as possible." " I'll be back in a few minutes." " Thank you." "What's going on?" "Give me a hand with this, would you?" "What's all this?" "It's the biggest day of my life." "I wanna look good." "What do you think, huh?" " Come on." "How do I look?" " You look handsome." "Yeah, thank you." " Did I...?" "Did I show you the ring?" " No." "Oh, let me show it to you." "Here." "It's beautiful." "You think she'll say yes?" "I'm pretty sure she will, yeah." "You know, she's the best thing that ever happened to me." " Really?" " Yeah." " Did I ever tell you how we met?" " No." "Let me help you." " Yeah, because I'm so nervous." " Just, just stand still." "I'll do this." "So tell me." " Tell you what?" " How you met." "How you and Mom met." "Mom?" "Yes." "Your wife, Doris." "I'm not gonna talk about that." "That's personal." " Okay." " Yeah." "Where's the car, because I don't wanna be late." "The car..." "The car's coming around the front." "Why don't we just sit down and wait for it, okay?" "Yeah, sure." "But, you know, I wanna catch her before she gets off work." "You'll catch her." "Yeah." "Trust me, you'll catch her." "You taking your daily vitamin?" "That fall I took on the Max Cassidy case jacked my hip up again." "Just taking care of business." "What's up?" "N.Y.P.D. Says they got a guy who spotted our girl so Viv and I are gonna check it out." " Great." "All right." "Mr. Aryal?" "Yes, that is my name." "You say you remember seeing this woman?" "Yes, I remember the blood on her coat." "What do you mean, blood on her coat?" "I was closing up the stand, she came walking from that way." "Miss." "Miss, are you all right?" " Do I know you?" " I don't think so." " Who are you?" "Where am I?" " Are you hurt, miss?" " Oh, my God." "Oh, my God." " Should I call the police?" " No!" " No, miss." " No, get away!" " Please, miss, I..." "Please..." "No, please!" "Please..." "Did you offer to help her?" "Did you call 911?" "She didn't want my help." "What about the coat?" "Yes, let me show you." " I threw it..." " In there?" "Yes." "Yes, that's it." "That's the one." "That's a lot of blood." "Hey, anything on the coat?" "Lab should have the prelims soon." "Did she have injuries consistent with that much blood?" "Not according to the medical report." "So she committed or witnessed a violent crime." "Could be faking amnesia to not get caught." "I don't know." "I can't tell with this girl." "Well, we also found a MetroCard and some coupons in her coat pocket." "If she is rich, she's not spending her money on food." "Okay, I'll call the MTA." "I'll run the MetroCard and concentrate on her stops." " Hang on." "Johnson." "Right." "Okay." "Yeah, thanks." "Prelims just came in from the lab." "The blood on the coat was B negative." "You know, I downloaded a list of violent crimes reported that night from the same area, so..." "Over here." "There was a man found murdered the next morning off 10th and Broadway." "And the blood type is B negative." "That's what, 12 blocks from where she was found?" " Yeah." " What do you think?" "Go talk to her." "See what you can find out." "But if this is a murder case, turn it over to N.Y.P.D." "Okay." " Yeah." " Viv, where you been?" " I called you twice." "I left two messages." " Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry." "I was about to call you back, then we got a hit on the case." "Okay, fine." "Look, can you do me a favor?" "Can you call your doctor, the heart specialist?" "Ask him who the best kidney doctor in the city is." " For you?" " No, it's not for me." "Could you do it, please?" "Is there a specific problem I can talk to him about?" "I can't get into it." "Could you please do it?" " Okay." " Thank you." "Dad?" "Dad?" "Dad?" "Dad, where are you?" "Frank?" "Frank?" "I'm sorry, Dad, please." "I didn't mean to break the chair." "I'll pay for it." "I'll do anything." "But don't..." "Please, don't hit me." " I'm not gonna hit you, Frank." " You always say that, but, but..." "I promise." "Forget about the chair." "No one's gonna hit you." "I sat in it." "I don't know what happened." "Doesn't matter." "We'll fix it." "We'll fix the chair." " Who's that?" " Just give me a second." "Someone's there." "Who's that?" " Forget it." "Just come out." " No, no." "Just stay there, okay?" " Yeah?" " Got those papers you need." " If you just sign here." " I didn't mean to break the chair." "L..." "Oh, God." "I'm so sorry." "Oh, God." "Thank you." "It's yours." "You were seen wearing it the night you were picked up." "Do you remember that?" "Sorry, I don't recognize that." "Okay, what about this man?" "Hey." "I need you to look at this picture." "This man was stabbed seven times." "Why is that my problem?" "The blood on your coat matches his blood type." " I told you, that's not my coat." " His name is Raymond Salas." " Does that sound familiar to you?" " Nothing seems familiar, all right?" " I don't know him." " There's something you're not telling me." " Back off." " I don't know what happened but you remember something." "If you don't tell me what I have to assume that you are guilty of murder." "Do you understand that?" "They're just images, okay?" "They..." "I thought they were a nightmare." "Describe them to me." "I'm in an alley." "There's a red door and a fire escape." "And this man he's assaulting me." "What does he want?" "I don't know but we're not alone." "Who else is with you?" "Okay." "Let me get this straight." "There were..." "There were bees?" "Yes." "No." "I don't know." "All I know is that I had to defend us." "I had to." "I stabbed him." "No!" "No!" "What happened to the boy?" "He couldn 't breathe." "He was suffocating." "Did you stab the man?" "Or did you stab the boy?" "The man." "I stabbed him." "I killed him." "These are 360-degree shots of the location where Salas was killed." "Now, Donna described an alley, but this is clearly a parking lot." "She mentioned a red door, a fire escape." "These buildings have neither." "She heard subway sounds, but I checked the MTA map." "Closest train crosses four blocks from there." "As far as the boy goes, nothing." "Chances are we'll find him before we find a swarm of bees in Manhattan in December." "All right, so, what, she confesses to a murder she didn't commit?" "Maybe she prefers Rikers over Cityview." "What about the boy?" "She give you anything?" "No." "It's the first time she talked about him." "Maybe he's a runaway." "I'll go ahead and check with N.Y.P.D." " We get lucky, he could be a witness." " Or a victim." " Sam." " Yeah." "You have to call the DA." "You got a confession to an open murder case." "Let me talk to her first." "I think she's just confused." "It's not our problem." "The things you described don't match his murder." " So what?" " So I don't think you killed him." "What the hell does that matter?" "It matters because unless we find out what really happened to you the DA will press charges." "You'll be declared incompetent, and you'll windback here locked up as a ward of the state." "Then your job's done." "Excuse me?" "You wanna help me find out who I am, right?" "Well, even if I don't remember killing that guy, I do remember killing someone." "So that's who I am." "What do you got, Mac?" "Okay, going over the rest of the lab work from the coat." "There's more than just blood on it." "If you look in the collar area and the cuff I found traces of titanium oxide, castor oil and DC Yellow Number 10." "Sounds delicious." "I ran the compound through a product database." "Each is an element in over 300 products." "But the compound combines only in one product and that's theatrical makeup." " Maybe she's a makeup artist." " Or an actress." " She swiped her MetroCard a few times at the Astor Place stop." "That area's full of small theaters." "See if any pop on violent crimes for that night." "All right, I'm on it." "Got one, at the Howard Theater at Essex and Stanton." "I'm going." "I'll have Sam meet me there." " Thank you." " You're welcome." " Good work, Mac." " Thanks, buddy." "Here." "I can't keep anything down." "It's just water, okay?" "You're dehydrated." "You need to drink something." "You look like crap." "Thanks." "You stayed here all night?" "Yeah." "I wanted to keep an eye on you." "That's nice." "Didn't you tell me you were selling papers when you were 8?" "Yeah, it was the Depression." "Everybody did what they had to." "What about your old man?" "What was he like?" "I didn't know much about him, really." "You know, he was out of the house so much, you know at the mill and then after that he went off to fight in a war." "You know." "Must've been tough not having him around." "Well, I didn't really think too much about it." "It was just the way that it was." " Okay." " What the hell is this?" "We're taking you to the hospital, Frank." "No, you're not." "What the hell?" "You can't do that." " You need medical attention." " You can't do that." "I can, I got a court order." "Oh, come..." "No." "You lied to me, you bastard." "It's okay, be careful, be careful of his back." " The hell away from me." " Frank, it's okay." " Get away." " Go easy on him." " Get away from me." " It's gonna be okay." "It's not okay!" "I'm not going nowhere." "You betrayed me." "Get away from me." " Don't hurt his back." " I'm not going." "Just stop, okay?" "Stop, stop, stop." "Just forget it, forget it." "Get out of here." "Would you, please?" "Just go." "Just..." "Please go." " Get out of here." " Thank you." "That should be fine." "Let's collapse those two cues in the second act." "Great, thank you." " Sasha Nichols?" " Yeah." "Hi, I'm Special Agent Spade, this is Special Agent Delgado." "We're with the FBI." "We have a police report that says that you were stabbed in the alley on Monday." "That's right." "Did you find my watch?" "We're not here about that." "There was a woman with you, a Carmen Kane, according to the report." "Yeah." "Why?" "Is this her?" "Yeah." "Is she okay?" "I'm gonna need you to tell us exactly what happened that day, okay?" "Well, we were having some problems." "She was struggling in the second act so we had to have a little talk." "But it's not just this rehearsal, Carmen, it's been weeks now." " Help me understand what's going on." " I told you, I don't know." "You're not connecting to the material, you're holding back." "Then I'll find it." "Just give me a chance." "I don't think we can wait for you anymore." "Wait for me?" "What are you talking about?" "Sasha, look at me." "Sasha?" " Oh, my God, you're gonna fire me." " I'm sorry, but I have no choice." "Don't do this, please." "I'll need the dress and the shoes back for wardrobe." "What?" "No." "I can..." " I'll slice her." " All right." "Okay." "Give me whatever you got, now." "The watch too." " Come on." " Sasha, don't!" "Leave him alone!" "Oh, my God." "Oh, my God." "Sasha!" "Sasha, please be okay." "Help!" "Somebody!" "Please!" "Please!" "So much for the karate classes at the Y." "Next thing I know, I'm in the hospital." "Bastard just missed my lung." "Could you tell me why you think she was having so much trouble with the play?" "I have no clue, really." "It's a fairly straightforward play." "A woman dealing with the death of her brother." "She was brilliant in the audition." "Ever since it's been downhill." "Do you have any ID or contact information on her?" "Carmen Kane." "I got her registered with SAG and AFTRA but nothing with the DMV, IRS or anyone who could help us." "Maybe it's a stage name." "Says that she went to the Connecticut State School of Drama." "So turns out that Raymond Salas was killed by a jealous husband." "Long shot, maybe she confused the director's stabbing with Raymond Salas' stabbing." " But it still doesn't explain the boy." " And it doesn't explain the bees." "In the spring of '99, I've got one student by the name of Carmen Kuskowski." "No wonder she changed her name." "Yeah." "What?" "No, you know what, we'll be right down." " Okay, bye." " What's up?" "Carmen's gone." " Grab Elena, I'll meet you there." " All right." "You know, when I was 16 my mother killed herself." " I didn't do anything to stop it." " This isn't the same thing." " Isn't it?" " He's a sick man." "And it's only gonna get worse, a lot worse." "Maybe letting him go isn't the wrong thing to do." "That's what you're advocating." "I'm telling you the facts." "If you fight for this, it's not gonna be pretty." "I'm not sure you're gonna get what you want out of it either." "I'm just not ready." "I know." "But I think he is." "I'll be around if you need me." "Thanks." "Hey, she's not here." "I checked her room, the day room, bathrooms." "Security's checking the adjacent wards." " What'd the nurse say?" " She was confined to her room." "She slipped out while they passed out meds." "How the hell did she get out?" "Apparently there's a group of plumbers working on the bottom floor." "The door's been open and closed all day long." "But why would she run?" "Because I made her think she killed somebody." "Okay." "Thanks." "They're still searching the hospital, and they've notified Port Authority." " Danny, check this out." " What?" "Maybe the little boy from the stabbing scene." "Could be a cousin, a friend, who knows?" "You have two new messages." "Hey, Carmen." "It's Shannon." "I heard about what happened." "Thought you'd wanna talk." "If you do, just call me, okay?" "Bye." "Where are you, Car?" "I don 't know." "Maybe I shouldn 't freak." "I'm worried about you." "Anyway, I just hope you're okay." "End of messages." "I love caller ID." "Shannon Kelso, 718 area code." "Car and I temp together downtown." "Graveyard shift." "Proofing contracts for hotshot lawyers while they wine and dine at Balthazar." "We hit it off." "How did you hear about what happened at the theater?" "I went there to see her." "That's how you heard about the mugging?" "I got worried." "She was already having a real rough time lately." "What did you mean?" "I think she was depressed." "Last time I saw her I asked her why, but I don't think I helped." "So we going to a movie or what?" "Yeah, sorry." "I just wanted to download some new music because everything I have just makes me wanna cry." "I had to turn off the Go-Go's the other day." "The Go-Go's made you cry?" "That's very sad." "Shannon I think something's wrong with me." "I feel like I'm turning into a basket case." "Hey, you got a lot going on." "And you wanna do well in the play." "That's a lot of pressure." "Yeah, but it's not just the play." "I can't figure it out." "It's just..." "Every time I try to focus on something, it's like these dark feelings come." "I feel like I'm driving through a fog, and any moment I might crash." "You're not gonna crash." "Whatever happens, you'll be okay." "I'm not so sure about that." "And how long had she been depressed?" "A couple of months." "So since she started the play?" "I think so." "When you mentioned she'd been in a hospital I thought that was a good thing." "How about family?" "You ever meet them?" "Her parents live overseas." "She talks to them every couple of weeks." "This her brother?" "She said it was, but she never really talked about him." "Okay, Carmen Abigail Kuskowski, born in Connecticut, 1979." "Father's an entomologist, mom is a teacher." "Brother Noah, born in '82, died in 1989." "All right." "Kuskowski..." "Listen to this: "Noah Kuskowski, age 6, dies of anaphylactic shock after being attacked by bees in the presence of his sister."" "He was stung 42 times." "Wait a second." "She watched him suffocate?" "According to the Portland Daily from May of '89." "I know this is gonna be a stretch, okay, but bear with me for a second." "Her friend said she was depressed, right?" "She's playing a character whose brother died." "So she's already vulnerable." "Then she witnesses the stabbing." "No!" "That's great." "Where does the amnesia come in?" "That's where the amnesia comes in." "The trauma from the stabbing pushes her over the edge." "Please!" "She shuts down to block out the pain." "It makes sense." "Hang on." "Spade." "Are you sure?" "Okay." "Yeah, we're on our way." "Okay, thanks." "That was the hospital, they checked the surveillance tapes." "Apparently Carmen never left the building." "Let's go." "One of the master keys for the medical cabinets is missing." "We keep controlled narcotics there." " Here are three other master keys." " Security's searching low." " Why don't we fan out up here?" " I got this hall." "Okay." "Carmen." "I wanted..." "I wanted to swallow the whole cabinet but I couldn't break the lock." " Well, that's good." "Your name is Carmen Kuskowski." "You're 26 years old." "You're from Connecticut." "You came here a year and a half ago because you wanted to be an actress." "And all of this started when you witnessed a stabbing." "This is a picture of you with your family." "She looks so happy." "She does." "It's like you're telling me someone else's story." "It makes sense." "But just not for me." "We spoke to your mom." "She's flying out here." "She'll tell you everything you need to know." "Isn't it all supposed to come back to me?" "I hope it does, I really do." "But at least now you're not alone and you have someone who loves you coming to help." "Okay." "Okay." " Come on." " Okay." "Come on." " Thanks, Sam." " No problem." "You're okay?" "You've been in there a long time." "Yeah, I got this bladder infection." "It hurts like something else." "Anyway, what do you care, huh?" "Why don't we put something on?" " Dizzy Gillespie or John Coltrane?" " Dad, Dad, do you...?" "Do you know who I am right now?" "No." "But you're a pain in the ass." " You're fine." " Come on." " Sit there." " Just grab a seat on the couch, Frank." " You okay?" " Yeah." "Listen, I wanna talk to you for a minute." "Oh, yeah, this is the part where you try to convince me to change my mind." "I want you to hear me out, okay?" "I want you to go to the hospital." "I want you to get treatment for your kidneys." "And I wanna be there for you." "Oh, be there for me?" "Look, I'm the one who has to go through this." "How the hell can you be there for me?" "I'm gonna take a leave of absence." "I'll come here, I'll stay here, I'll take care of you." "You can't do that." "Look, I can and I want to." "But I need you to do something for me." "I need you to go to the hospital and get treatment for a couple weeks." "And if after that, you..." "It's not working for you, you don't wanna do it I'll get out of your way." "You can do whatever you want." "I just want you to give it a chance." "Why do you wanna do this for me?" "Because you're my father." "Okay." "Okay?" "Get the doctor." "I'll be right back." "Okay." "Hey, listen, Dad, I just want..." "Dad?" "You okay?" "Dad?" "Dad, you okay?" "I love you."
