A woman looks at tarot cards and another woman leaves her alone to close up. She disappears after turning over the deathcard.
38 Hours Missing
Sam (Poppy Montgomery) tells Jack (Anthony LaPaglia) she is Agnes Deshamps (Alexandra Lydon) and is 25 and she owns the store selling new age products and psychic readings. Sm tells him Viv’s out of hospital and needs surgery. Jack hasn’t seen her yet. Sam says she looks good. And finds a burnt doll in the drawer.
39 Hours Missing
Sam looks at her appointments and comments there’s no way to figure out who her clients are from the symbols. Sam thinks she may have been running a scam. Rebecca says she never felt any psychic energy but Agnes was good with her clients. She didn’t have the gift but she tried to help. Sam asks if her clients felt she was conning them. Agnes didn’t ask for her help in 5 years but recently she was afraid and was involved in something. A man was angry at her. She told her to imagine herself on a roof away from anger, she didn’t know where the road was going and couldn’t see through the dark cloud. She gave Agnes a candle to use for guidance. She didn’t finish the ritual. She was meant to carve initials on the bottom, meditate and when the candle was burnt, she’d give her a reading. This morning she had a vision of a van and “frantic energy.” Sam laughs, she’s not making it up.
Danny (Enrique Murciano) questions Agnes’s neighbour who heard a noise outside and found her on the floor. She fell but didn’t want to go to hospital and said she was clumsy.
Sam questions Edgar (Bill Brochtrup) the last client Agnes saw. An angry man interrupted them, she told him she couldn’t go through with it. Viv gets a call from Martin (Eric Close) frustrated he hasn’t found any sort of records. He got a name from his father for the head of cardiology at St Luke’s if she needs a second opinion. Jack asks Martin how she is. He tells him they found a candle in the garbage at Luca Bella with the initials ‘L.C’.
40 Hours Missing
The doctor at the hospital tells Danny Agnes had a fracture of the radius and concussion. He asks if the injuries were consistent with a fall. She also had other injuries. He doesn’t recognize the man in the sketch. Agnes told him no one was hurting her. She had Huntington’s. Danny asks what that is “for the medically impaired.”
41 Hours Missing
Rebecca (Natacha Roi) talks of the the dark cloud around Agnes. She wouldn’t have committed suicide as she had strong energy around her. Sam says it’s hereditary, her grandmother had it. Agnes told her of a bird she saw on a wagonwheel, white, she knew it was her grandmother. She had a broken wing, trapped and alone. The bird meant sorrow. Sam tells her they found the candle. The only client with those initials was a Mrs Countryman.
42 Hours Missing
Agnes performed the ritual for her and made mistakes in her readings. They were having financial discussions and she called this week and told her not to sign her estate over to her nephew (as the knight had to prove himself to the lady.) Danny asks if she put him charge for 3 weeks? The sketch is of her nephew, Greg (Andrew Hawkes).
Danny tells Greg someone saw him threaten Agnes. He made a deposit on an expensive car. He tells them 3 weeks ago she knew how she could put him in charge of the estate. She gave him back the $10,0000. she needed $50,000 and he could get it for her.
Viv decides who should look after Reggie with her husband Marcus (Joseph C Phillips). Not his sister but her cousin Margaret. Rick is a Mets fan. Viv thinks they could get Rosemary to leave him.
Sam loses it with Martin for using Viv’s computer. Martin finds the doll’s head was from 3 states: Kentucky, Virginia and West Virginia. His computer froze. Danny interrupts their tete a tete and shows them some videotape footage from an Everymart store. Agnes is being abducted and put into a van.
44 hours Missing
Danny says there was no footage inside so don’t know if she was followed. The black van has the partial plate:…2H7…. An eye witness Hilda Cahill (Karen Austin) comes forward. Danny thinks perhaps she needed the $50,00 after a scam. Jack thinks they may have caught her in an attempt to escape in the van.
Sam shows Rebecca the photo of the man in the van and gets angry as she told her about the van, she’s probably in on it. Rebecca grabs her hands and tells her she’s feeling a sick friend and having problems with ‘M’.
Danny asks Hilda to confirm her story. She was walking in the parking lot and all the lights were out. She heard screaming. Danny asks if she saw the man who took Agnes? She blames the store for not fixing their lights. She didn’t recall Agnes at the store but she dropped her shopping bag. Danny tells her they didn’t see any bag on the footage. She’s confused. Maybe she didn’t see the bag. Viv takes her medication.
45 Hours Missing
Danny tells Martin Hilda is a moving target. Martin cross referenced the plate and got one match: a house in Greenville. All have crimes to their names. A Mark Conway is on the Major Crimes watchlist. They are a gypsy family group. Danny says he’s suspicious of Hilda, she was trying to second guess what they wanted her to say. She doesn’t have a car on the list but has the aliases of: Carla Callaghan, aka Heather Cahill, aka Hilda Cahill. Martin says all the people in the house are part of a clan.
46 Hours Missing
Danny uses her aliases and acts confused and threatens her. Martin finds Patrick Orton (John Dennis Johnston) etc on an endless list. He owns a 2002 Dodge Ranger registered licence plate: 2H7 from there. They drive along the west I64 running scams: abductions and threatens to sue the store. Danny tells Hilda to tell him what Agnes was doing with them and she can leave. She’s her niece and her real name is Margaret. She stole $50,000 7 years ago and ran away. He wants the names and aliases of everyone involved in the fake kidnapping. She wants her one phonecall. Danny gets her a phone but tells the agent to capture the number but not to let the call go through. Danny finds the number she dialled was registered to an alias in Greenville. They make a living selling defective RVs so Danny suggest they should buy one.
Patrick Conway drives up and Danny pulls a gun on him. Jack tells him he’s not concerned about the scam and only wants to see Agnes alive. She’s his daughter. She took the money and ran away so he has to make it right with the clan. It wasn’t up to him to let her come home. Jack tells her she’s ill and he wants to see her. She tells Jack she knew she was ill when she fells down the stairs. No one will stay with her except her family. Jack lets them go.
Sam tells about Agnes. She wants a reading done. Jack visits Viv who apologizes for leaving him shorthanded. Viv says he could use some sleep. He tells her everyone’s happy to work overtime. She understands if he wants to fill her chair. He knows but it’s okay. ( Or is it. Se season 4.)
Lots of jokes in the episode about psychics and their powers etc oh the scepticism was rife. Though Sam believed or needed to, at least to get the reading at the end.
Jack: “She could’ve saved herself some time and just told us where to look.”
Jack seems to be avoiding seeing Viv until the last possible minute for some reason. As he keeps asking everyone else how she is. Possibly he doesn’t know what to say to her or avoiding confrontation perhaps.
Jack: “somebody didn’t like their reading.”
Sam: “does your vision come with an id, a recollecation – past, present, future.” Following Jack’s lead she would ask that question!
Viv: “they’re always out there somewhere." She could of course also be referring to the missing person not just records. Viv calls Martin “sweetie.” He even went to the trouble of talking to his father just for her.
Martin: “I’ll see if I can conjure up something on L.C.”
Jack: “how hilarious.” Seems like everyone was getting in on the psychic jokes except for Danny and Viv.
The bird that Agnes saw could be herself and not just her grandmother as she felt trapped and alone too, hence the need for her to return to family.
Sam had to look up the initials L.C in her notes.
Danny: “Expensive car, eye witness, missing psychic…”
Jack: “…that’s probably good. Technically you’re not trustworthy.”
Sam: “What’re you doing?…you haven’t said 2 words about it since she collapsed – at least not to me and now I walk in …sitting at Vivian’s desk using her computer.”
Martin: “What, you think I’m being disrespectful to her?”
Sam: “No, I think you’re selfish and inconsiderate is what I think. I’m sorry..”
Martin: “I think you’re just looking for another reason to push me away.”
Sam: “Martin I’m not I’m just really upset…” Danny walks in on another Martin and Sam moment, an argument this time but never got a chance to comment on it. As for Martin not talking about it, he obviously cared enough about Viv to call her and asks if she needed another doctor or anything else. So why didn’t Sam talk to him about how she was feeling, especially after she knew about this for longer.
Martin and Sam having another argument and Danny interrupts – though this time he didn’t notice, no, he was too busy actually working.
Did what Sam find out from the clairvoyant woman make her change her mind and be nicer to Martin. Well she should’ve gone back and tore strips off her for giving her a wrong reading.
Danny: “I was thinking – what if she pulled a scam and that’s what the 50 grand’s about – she had to pay some people back.” And he’s right as usual!
Sam: “So either you’re involved or you’re a psychic and that part I find very difficult to believe.” But she does believe and especially when she tells her about Viv and Martin though of course surely she would’ve named them them.
These witnesses try to be so clever come forward and attempt to be helpful when it’s apparent they’re involved somehow. Like mentioning the shopping bag for starters.
Martin: “Sorry bro my computer’s still down.”
Danny: “Mi computer, tu computer.” He didn’t have any qualms about him using his computer. But then Martin figured it was much safer to use Danny’s computer than to ask Sam.
Danny: “…whole time Jack and I were talking to her, it was as if she was trying to guess what we wanted her to say.”
Danny: “Hilda, I’m sorry Heather. Carla, Okay I’m confused…you know what else you don’t know whom you’re talking to. I’m FBI. If I want to I can make your life a living hell…tell me what I wanna know.” Yes he loves to threaten people and you know what it’s enough to make you want to talk!
Danny: “You trying to figure out all the angles but sometimes smart people complicate things. This is simple…tell me that and you’re done.”
Hilda; “you told me we were done.”
Danny: “I lied and here’s the part where I’ve gotta tell you that you’re entitled to that one phonecall.” Yes, but his threats are always so nice, well usually. Danny threatening her by using the old “I’m an FBI agent” ploy/scenario. ‘Ooh I’m scared. Interrogate me some more so I can go weak at the knees and my heart pounds!’ Sorry!!
Jack and Danny undercover and out of their suits with Danny sporting a tracksuit and cap.
Jack finally talks to Viv and reassures her her job is safe. Also she picks up his not sleeping, continued on from the previous episode. Sam going to get a psychic reading after being sceptical and making all those comments/jokes after taking Jack's lead. a bit like Danny when he went and got that 'self help' book in season the episode Life Rules. He thought it would work, why did he need a self help book anyway?
