6 Hours Missing
Sam (Poppy Montgomery) thinks maybe someone stopped to help and Danny (Enrique Murciano) adds maybe they didn’t stop to help. She didn’t have a mobile phone. The police called it in when they found the car at 1am. Sam says she’d be afraid too on a road like this alone.
12 Hours Missing
The Chicago office called wondering where Jack (Anthony LaPaglia) is. He was going to call them. He has personal issues and the transfer won’t work out. Olczyk (Bill Smitrovich) says he asked for the transfer. Jack tells him Maria’s left and if he wants custody he has to remain in New York. He’ll take anything available but not his old job. Martin (Eric Close) asks Viv (Marianne Jean-Baptiste) if Jack’s around. Viv doesn’t tell him anything. Yeah rub it in Martin after last episode.
13 Hours Missing
There was a West Virginia toll receipt found in Maureen’s (Claire Carey) car. She was meant to attend a medical conference. Her husband, Nathan (Max Martini) assumed she was working late. Sam says it’s their experience that people usually go missing because of something in their lives. He saw her at a coffee shop with another man.
The nurse at work tells Martin that Maureen is religious. The Burns Unit is the toughest there is. Maureen had to deal with an abuse case of a 6 year old and she cried recently. It took 8 years to wear her down. Maureen said she was crying over something else and gave notice the next day.
Jack picks up the phone, he’s waiting for an important call. Viv tells him to go home. They too of Natalie Genjingian, (Suzanne Santo) her name’s special. Sam calls and is surprised Jack’s there. She canvassed the area around the coffee shop, no one remembers Maureen or the man.
17 Hours Missing
Natalie has been seeing Luke, (Jesse Head) Maureen’s son, for 11 months. She went to her birthday party. Maureen had been drinking and told her to call her Lilly; her middle name. Jack finds a Lillian Dillard on a computer search. Lillian is on the FBI Wanted List for bombing an abortion clinic 15 years ago. Danny refuses a coffee refill from her husband and then asks for one when Viv calls him. He’s knocked out.
18 Hours Missing
Sam finds bullets and money in a box at their house. They were part of a group called Legion of the Cross and carried out bombings and attacks. In the last one in Ohio, one person died. Earl Ridgeway (Scott Haven) is the leader. In 1989 all their activities stopped. Viv comments extremists never stop. The NYPD has an informant in the movement. Viv thinks Ridgeway may have picked up Maureen.
19 Hours Missing
Martin meets the informant. They had a secret banquet to honour them for their work in defending the unborn. They’re planning something else. Jack checks the footage from Ohio. One speaker there at the rally survived the bombing. Jack thinks Maureen may be atoning for her sins.
20 Hours Missing
Danny questions Luke and tells him his father left him. Viv tells Danny to let Luke go and follow him.
WEST VIRGINIA
Sam visits Maureen’s mother, Annie (Amanda Carlin). She hasn’t seen her in 15 years. The toll receipt was dated last week. She came down last Sunday and asked if Luke could call her. She apologized and left. She told Maureen if has had the baby she wouldn't help her. Maureen ran away to the church group who gave her a wedding..
22 Hours missing
Maureen was seen arguing with Ridgeway a few days ago. Martin finds detonator caps there. Jack says they’re aluminium and are old school; the trade mark of the bombing group in the South. They used to destroy buildings and last time it was different as they targeted people. Martin thinks they’re using nails as shrapnel like the Atlanta Olympic bombing.
Danny sees Luke making a phonecall from a payphone. The call is traced to Hope Divinity Bible Church
38 Hours Missing
It’s a safe number. The church member calls, leaves a message and another one picks it up. 'Jacob calling for Rebecca’. Viv says they were married in the Book of Genesis.
Danny questions Luke again, he’d be the last person he’d want to talk to, blowing up another clinic. Luke tells him they’re not blowing up anyone and told him everything the night of his birthday. They killed a woman who had a son, she was a janitor, they’re murderers. The other survivor had burns all over her body. She must turn herself in. Luke will attend college soon and have his own life.
Danny says his spent his entire life thinking they were the bad guys. He should call his father and ask him to meet somewhere and give himself up.
42 Hours Missing
Viv asks who Isiah is? Probably Ridgeway. Maureen went to see him. He called the church after they left, there was a message for Ridgeway. He’s holding her prisoner. He doesn’t know the target and they must find her.
Jack checks out the list of clinics. There are messages from the church regarding Cynthia. There’s a Cynthia St 12th. Viv says the linen for the clinic is subcontracted out. Viv thinks they should evacuate the clinic and Jack thinks the bomb could be on remote as that’s their trend. Viv says it could be on a timer. Jack tells her it’s her call.
Sam and Martin pose as expectant parents. Sam uses the bathroom. She finds Maureen in a linen basket with a bomb taped to her back. Danny tells them not to use mobiles within 500 feet. Sam says the bomb is on a timer. She cuts the tape from Maureen’s back as the clinic is evacuated. Sam takes her out the back and stops her in the parking lot to handcuff her. The bomb is deactivated. Maureen is shot by a sniper. SWAT searches for him. Maureen wants forgiveness.
Viv receives a call from Director Baines. She’s disappointed but has no choice and give up her new position. Jack asks if she’s leaving work already? She just wants to go home.
Jack: “Nobody’s gonna patch anything up, trust me.” (See ep 3.10)
Martin: “New boss has got me running.”
Danny: “This day and age – must be tough being a teenager without a cellphone.”
Sam: “…some conflict, some secret, everyone has secrets.” Don’t they just, re Sam and Jack and Sam and Martin. Sam saying people disappear because of something they’ve done echoes Jack.
Jack fights the phone in the office.
Sam didn’t share her umbrella with Danny in the pouring rain(!) Danny telling Luke he doesn’t like the FBI agents and talking to them probably because of his own experiences too. When Danny mentioned being in trouble with and his scar on his leg. Imagine Luke’s parents skipping out on him and leaving their son to fend for himself – he’ll be at college soon but that’s no excuse just to save themselves, especially his father.
Danny is hit on the head yet again, see season 2 ep 17.
Viv: “Nice theory Jack, but why’s her husband bashing people on the head.” He’s not just people he’s Danny.
Sam meeting Maureens’ mother after all these years the two have been apart must have brought back memories of her own life and relationship with her mother.
Danny: “Must be tiring carrying around all those secrets.” He should know! An episode for secrets this one as everyone keeps mentioning secrets and nothing but.
Danny interviewing the teenager again as he’s got some personal insight into what it’s like re his own life.
Viv: “I hope you’re right about this.” Jack just happened to be wrong since the bomb was on a timer and Viv was right.
Sam stopping to chat out in the open as if the bomber wouldn’t still be around to see his handiwork. Don’t know if he’s caught or not.
Viv expected that phonecall and must have been dreading it.
Viv: “It’s been a really sad day Jack.”
Jack: “I didn’t want this but I couldn’t say no.”
After the call, she wouldn’t want to hang around Jack being insensitive there.
Viv’s promotion was shortlived so we didn’t get the chance to see what she would’ve been like as a leader, all for 2 episodes. Jack getting his job back so easily, the FBI powers that be don’t like change. It would have been good to see him working under Viv for a few more episodes at least as one of the troops.
The end scene re the clinic was very déjà vu.
Actually proved Viv right and Jack wrong about the bomb being on a timer.
Danny sports a new white suit! Didn’t want to get this dirty, hence his meagre 3 scenes!!
Would finding religion provide absolution from their past transgressions – since on the one hand they’re trying to save the unborn and on the other resorted to violence and killing to do this. Not in the eyes of the law – but perhaps their church and conscience? Where’s the justice in that?
