(man) THINK BACK.
DO Y REMEMBER YOUR BEST FRIEND AS A KID?
IS HE STILL YOUR BEST FRIEND NOW?
DO YOU TALK?
OR DID TIME JUST CHANGE THINGS, CHANGE YOU BOTH...
UNTIL YOU LOST THE FRIENDSHIP
AND WHATEVER MADE IT SPECIAL IN THE FIRST PLACE?
I HAD FRIENDS, I HAD GOOD TIMES,
AND I DIDN'T WANT THEM TO END.
I WANTED THOSE DAYS TO LAST FOREVER.
HEY! WHO LEFT THE LID OFF THE FOOD?
HEY, GET BACK HERE!
(boy) HEY! HEY, STOP HIM!
(girl) HEY! HEY, GET HIM!
IT'S A STRAY! THAT'S ALL THE FOOD WE HAD!
(boy) GRAB HIM! GRAB HIM!
(boy) JIM, WHERE ARE YOU?!
I WAS PART OF SOMETHING ONCE, AND FOR A WHILE...
OH, MY GOD. IT WAS MAGIC.
BUT NOW...
I'M JUST SOMEONE'S GUILTY SECRET.

HEY, CANDACE,
WHEN DID DETECTIVE RUSSELL SEND THIS OVER?
ACTUALLY, THIS ONE'S FROM ME. I FOUND AN OLD CASE ONLINE.
I ASKED RUSSELL TO GIVE US THE FILE. OH. HOW OLD IS "OLD"?
THE BODY WAS FOUND ABOUT 18 MONTHS AGO.
IT WAS BURIED NEAR LAKE WARD BY A CAMPGROUND THERE.
LAKE WARD DOE.
OUR STORY BEGINS.
SO OUR JOHN DOE IS A WHITE MALE,
PROBABLY IN HIS LATE 20s.
HE'S BURIED ABOUT A MILE FROM SOME CABINS NEAR THE LAKE.
CAUSE OF DEATH?
HEAD TRAUMA.
BODY WAS WRAPPED IN A SHEET WITH NO LABELS OR MARKINGS.
HOW LONG WAS THE BODY BURIED?
ABOUT A YEAR. THIS MURDER HAPPENED TWO A HALF YEARS AGO?
HOW FAR DID THE POLICE GET WITH IT?
THE CHICAGO P.D. WAS WORKING WITH A LOCAL SHERIFF'S OFFICE.
THEY TRIED, BUT NO LUCK.
THEY DID DO A SKETCH, THOUGH.
(whistles) OH, MAN.
THEY MADE THE GUY OK LIKE BIGFOOT.
I'LL GET THE AUTOPSY PHOTOS, SEE WHAT I CAN DO.
IT SAYS HERE HE WAS WEARING JEANS AND A T-SHIRT,
AND THE T-SHIRT HAD A CARTOON ON IT. UH, YEAH. VERY COMMON COMIC BOOK CHARACTERS.
POLICE COULDN'T TRACE IT. I'LL REACH OUT TO THE NETWORK.
MAYBE OUR JOHN DOE WAS A FANBOY.
UM, WHAT ABOUT THIS DOG--THE ONE THAT LED THE KIDS TO THE BODY?
OH, WE DON'T KNOW THAT IT LED THEM THERE. IT WAS A STRAY, WALTER.
NOT LASSIE.
HEY, I SAW THIS DOG ON ANIMAL PLANET.
EVERY DAY IT WENT TO THE CEMETERY
AND SAT ON ITS OWNER'S GRAVE FOR, LIKE, FIVE YEARS.
I MEAN, WHAT IF THIS ACTUALLY IS JOHN DOE'S DOG?
OH, COME ON. EVEN IF IT WAS, YOU'RE NOT GONNA FIND
A DOG IN THOSE WOODS. WE COULD TRY.
IT'S WORTH HAVING A LOOK. WALTER, TAKE A SHOT.
THANK YOU, BUT I HAVE ALLERGIES.
I LOVE DOGS, BUT I PET A CHIHUAHUA,
AND TEN MINUTES, THESE ARE BOXING GLOVES.
OKAY, WALTER, YOU AND LINDSEY WILL TAKE THE T-SHIRT.
TYLER AND I WILL FOLLOW UP ON THE DOG. ALEX?
YES, CHIEF?
TALK TO THE LOCAL SHERIFF'S OFFICE?
YOU ALWAYS SAY THE LOCAL GUYS DON'T GET LISTENED TO ENOUGH. I'M ON IT.
OKAY.
KIDS PLAY ON THIS HILLSIDE ALL THE TIME.
IT'S AMAZING TO THINK THAT BODY WAS HERE UNDERNEATH THEM.
YOU NEVER HAD ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE? NEVER.
BEFORE NOW, WORST CASE I HAD
WAS A 17-YEAR-OLD WITH ALCOHOL POISONING--
THREW UP IN MY CAR. NOT TOO MANY MURDERS AROUND HERE.
I WAS THE FIRST ONE ON THE SCENE.
I SECURED IT. I DID EVERYTHING BY THE BOOK--
ROUNDED UP THE KIDS WHO FOUND HIM
AND TOOK ALL THEIR STATEMENTS. ANYONE LIVE CLBY?
WE GOT 12 CABINS DOWN ABOUT A MILE, AND I GAVE YOUR PEOPLE
A LIST OF RENTERS FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS. AND YOUR BOSS SHOULD'VE TOLD YOU I'M NOT A COP.
MY NETWORK--WE TRY TO HELP SOLVE JOHN AND JANE DOE CASES.
YOU LOOK LIKE A COP. YOU SHOULD APPLY.
THE BODY WAS WRAPPED IN A COTTON BEDSHEET,
SO WE'RE THINKING HE WAS KILLED ??
THEY COULD'VE DRIVEN UP THE FIRE LANE
AND THEN CARRIED HIM OVER FROM THERE.
YEAH, YOU MENTIONED THE FIRE LANE IN YOUR REPORT.
ONE OF YOUR LEADS INVOLVED A COUPLE IN A TRUCK? YEP, WHEN I FOUND OUT HOW LONG HE'D BEEN ON THE GROUND,
I WENT BACK THROUGH MY NOTEBOOKS,
AND THE ONLY UNUSUAL INCIDENT I HAVE AROUND THAT TIME
IS A COUPLE. THEY WERE ARGUING IN THEIR S.U.V. WELL, WOULD YOU RECOGNIZE THEM?
NOT LIKELY. THE WHOLE THING LASTED ABOUT A MINUTE.
I SHINED MY LIGHT ON 'EM, MADE 'EM GET A MOVE ON.
YOU DON'T THINK I'D LET TWO MURDERERS DRIVE AWAY, DO YA?
KIDS HAVE ALWAYS PLAYED ON THAT HILLSIDE.
I WAS ONE OF THEM.
IF YOU TOLD ME BACK THEN THAT I WAS PLAYING ON MY OWN GRAVE,
I WONDER HOW THAT WOULD HAVE FELT.
THREE OF THE PEOPLE I TALKED TO SAY THEY FED A STRAY DOG
WITHIN THE PAST WEEK. THIS WAS WALTER'S STUPID IDEA.
HOW COME HE GETS TO GO TO THE COMIC STORE?
YOU GET TO BE WITH ME.
YEAH, AND, LIKE, A MILLION MOSQUITOES.
WHY'D YOU PICK THIS CASE ANYWAY?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
WHAT? YOU WANNA CALL A DOG, YOU WHISTLE.
SEE, THIS--THIS IS A COMPLETELY NEW SIDE OF YOU, CANDACE.
I BET YOU DID THE WHOLE CAMPOUT SKINNY DIPPING THING
WHEN YOU GRADUATED. IN YOUR DREAMS, TYLER.
WE'RE TRYING TO TRACE A JOHN DOE VICTIM
WHO WORE THIS SHIRT.
THE COPS SAY THERE MUST BE A MILLION OF THEM
WITH THOSE CHARACTERS ON IT. YEAH, MAYBE.
BUT NOT TOGETHER. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
THESE CHARACTERS--THEY'RE OWNED BY DIFFERENT PUBLISHERS.
YOU ALMOST NEVER SEE 'EM TOGETHER,
UNLESS IT'S A SPECIAL EDITION.
IT'S LIKE MARVEL AND DC ON ONE SHIRT.
SO DOES THAT TELL YOU WHO MADE IT?
NAH, BUT I KNOW WHERE YOUR JOHN DOE GOT IT.
IT WAS DESIGNED FOR San FrancisCon.
IS THAT A COMIC BOOK CONFERENCE?
CONVENTION. YEAH, A BIG ONE.
THERE WAS, LIKE, OVER 10,000 PEOPLE THERE.
THAT SHIRT'S FROM, LIKE, FIVE YEARS AGO.
WE'RE NEVER GONNA GET ANYWHERE.
HEY, DON'T WORRY. THEY DIDN'T SELL IT.
THEY GAVE IT OUT TO GOFERS. EMPLOYEES.
YEAH, IF YOU WORKED FOR THE CONVENTION,
THE ORGANIZERS--THEY'LL HOOK YOU UP WITH SOME PERKS. WELL, YOU THINK WE COULD GET A LIST?
MAYBE. STILL A COUPLE HUNDRED NAMES.
HEY, BUT IT'S A START.
YEAH.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
PIT STOP. YOU CAN KEEP HIKING IF YOU WANT.
JUST... LEAVE THE FOOD.
THIS MUST BE WHERE THE KIDS WHO FOUND THE BODY WENT SWIMMING.
YOU SEEM TO KNOW YOUR WAY AROUND THIS PLACE PRETTY WELL.
I'M GUESSING YOU'VE BEEN HERE BEFORE?
YEAH.
THIS WAS OUR FAMILY VACATION PLACE WHEN I WAS A KID.
I LOVED IT HERE.
I DON'T KNOW. IT ALWAYS FELT... MAGIC.
AND, UH, THEN A COUPLE YEARS AGO,
MY MOM GOT BREAST CANCER.
(voice breaking) AND IT DIDN'T LOOK LIKE SHE'D BE OKAY.
MY DAD--
HE SAID HE'D TAKE HER ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD
THAT SHE WANTED TO GO.
I MEAN, SHE COULD'VE HAD PARIS OR THE PYRAMIDS.
BUT THIS IS WHAT SHE WANTED--
TO COME HERE.
I'M SORRY.
IT'S OKAY. WE CAME BACK HERE FOR A FEW WEEKS,
AND... THAT'S KIND OF WHEN SHE TURNED AROUND.
SHE BEAT IT.
AND I KNOW THAT IT WAS DOCTORS AND TREATMENTS AND ALL,
BUT... THAT'S WHEN I KNEW THIS PLACE REALLY IS MAGIC.
AND THE IDEA OF SOMEONE BEING MURDERED HERE...
♪♪♪
TYLER?
(continues growling) DON'T MOVE.
SHE'S STARVING, TYLER. ALL SHE WANTS IS YOUR FOOD.
GOOD. GOOD GIRL.
(growls) GOT HER.
DOG, STOP! NO, NO!
(laughs) TYLER.
CAREFULLY. CANDACE, WAIT.
(laughing) TYLER.
(laughs) OHH! (gasps) OH, MY GOD.
YOU KNOW I'M TELLING EVERYONE THIS STORY.
(woman) OKAY, HERE SHE IS. WE CLEANED HER UP A LITTLE BIT.
THIS IS IT?
YOUR STRAY IS A LABRADOR POODLE, ALSO KNOWN AS A LABRADOODLE.
SHE'S 4 OR 5. HOW LONG WAS SHE OUT THERE?
I COULDN'T SAY. SHE GOT ENOUGH FOOD FROM VISITORS.
IF SHE WAS LIVING UNDER ONE OF THE CABINS, IT COULD BE YEARS.
WE DIDN'T FIND A COLLAR ON HER. NO, BUT WE CAN DO BETTER THAN THAT.
SHE HAS A MICROCHIP UNDER THE SKIN.
AS LONG AS THE OWNER'S REGISTERED IN THE DATABASE...
THERE YOU GO-- MICHAEL AXTON.
COULD IT REALLY BE THAT SIMPLE? WHAT IF WALTER WAS RIGHT?
WHAT IF THIS DOG DID BELONG TO JOHN DOE?
THEN WE JUST GOT HIS NAME.
SO ARE YOU GONNA CALL RUSSELL?
NO, NOT YET. AT THIS POINT, ALL WE HAVE TO GO ON IS WALTER'S THEORY, BASED ON SOMETHING HE SAW ON TV.
YEAH, BUT HE COULD BE RIGHT.
I MEAN, MICHAEL AXTON COULD BE OUR JOHN DOE. MAYBE. BUT LET'S AT LEAST FIND OUT IF HE'S MISSING.
I MEAN, A DOG STAYIN HIS OWNER'S GRAVE FOR THAT LONG?
IT'S PRETTY STRANGE. YOU DON'T KNOW THOSE WOODS STRANGER THINGS HAVE HAPPENED.
(knocks on door) (man) WHO IS IT?
WE'RE LOING FOR MICHAEL AXTON.
YOU JUST FOUND HIM.
(chuckles) MY DOG? WE FOUND HER UP IN WOODLAND, NEAR LAKE WARD.
UH, THE VET WHO CHECKED HER OUT SAID THAT SHE'D BEEN THERE
FOR A WHILE. YEAH, WELL, THAT MAKES SENSE. THAT'S WHERE I LOST HER.
I GO UP TO THOSE WOODS EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE.
KATIE RAN AWAY ABOUT A FEW YEARS AGO. KATIE? THAT'S HER NAME?
YEAH. I CHECKED IN ALL THE LOCAL ANIMAL SHELTERS AT THE TIME,
BUT EVENTUALLY I JUST GAVE UP LOOKING.
WELL, SHE LED SOME TEENAGERS TO A CRIME SCENE.
THERE WAS A BODY BURIED IN THE WOODS.
A BODY? OH, MY GOD.
I HONESTLY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY ABOUT THAT.
THAT IS... REALLY...
WELL, KATIE'S STILL AT THE VET'S OFFICE,
BUT WE CAN ARRANGE TO HAVE HER BROUGHT BACK TO YOU.
ACTUALLY.... ABOUT THAT,
LOOK, I'M HAPPY KATIE'S SAFE AND EVERYTHING, BUT I DON'T
THINK THAT'S SUCH A GOOD IDEA, 'CAUSE, UH, I'M KIND OF
IN THE MIDDLE OF A DIVORCE RIGHT NOW,
AND I'M NOT REALLY SET UP FOR A DOG.
HEY. MAYBE YOU GUYS COULD HELP ME FIND KATIE A NEW HOME.
(Tyler) SO KATIE DIDN'T LEAD US TO OUR JOHN DOE AFTER ALL?
NAH. AXTON LOST HER UP IN LAKE WARD A FEW YEARS AGO.
BUT YOU'RE SAFE NOW, GIRL. YES, YOU ARE.
(barks)
WOULD SHE REALLY STAY IN THE SAME PLACE ALL THAT TIME?
WELL, THERE WAS THIS GUY AND HIS DOG ON THE DISCOVERY CHANNEL-- WALTER, CAN WE PLEASE
JUST FORGET ABOUT THE DOG FOR A SECOND?
WHAT'S THE STORY ON THE T-SHIRT?
UM, ACTUALLY, I THINK WE GOT SOMETHING. OUR DOE WAS A GOFER.
OF COURSE HE WAS.
I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THAT MEANS. OH, HE WAS A VOLUNTEER
AT A COMIC BOOK CONVENTION FIVE YEARS AGO.
HOW MANY VOLUNTEERS ARE WE TALKING ABOUT
I CALLED THE PROMOTERS AND GOT THEM TO E-MAIL ME A LIST.
THERE WERE 12,000 PEOPLE TOTAL, 300 VOLUNTEERS.
GREAT. SO WE HAVE TO FOLLOW UP ON 60 PEOPLE APIECE. YEP.
UH, HANG ON. LINDSEY, THE SHERIFF MADE A LIST
OF EVERYONE WHO RENTED A CABIN AT LAKE WARD
AROUND THE TIME OUR DOE WAS BURIED. YEAH, I SAW THAT LIST.
I TYPED THESE NAMES INTO MY COMPUTER. MAYBE WE CAN COMPARE THE TWO LISTS.
IF SOMEONE WHO RENTED A D A CABIN ALSO WAS A VOLUNTEER
AT THE CONVENTION... I CAN TRY.
IT'S JUST MY LAPTOP, GUYS.
I'VE GOT A PROGRAM THAT MERGES DATA,
BUT IT'S GONNA TAKE A MINUTE.
(sneezes) YOU OKAY?
YEAH. BUT IF YOU GUYS ARE GONNA KEEP KATIE,
I'M GONNA FIND ANOTHER GROUP. OKAY, GOT IT.
I MERGED CABIN RENTERS WITH CONVENTION VOLUNTEERS,
AND ONLY ONE NAME OVERLAPS-- JAKE LUCAS.
MAYBE NOW WE SHOULD CALL RUSSELL.
MIGHT BE A LITTLE EARLY FOR THAT. IS THERE ANY CONTACT INFO? NO. THIS LIST IS JUST NAMES.
I CAN CALL AGAIN, SEE WHAT THE PROMOTERS HAVE ON FILE.
LET'S DO IT. TYLER, HOW CLOSE ARE YOU ON THE SKETCH? ALMOST DONE.
GREAT. THIS COULD BE HIM.
OUR JOHN DOE COULD BE JAKE LUCAS.
WE GOT THIS ADDRESS FROM THE CONVENTION PROMOTERS.
IT WAS LISTED IN THE CONTACT INFO FOR JAKE LUCAS.
YEAH, I'D SAY THAT'S JAKE.
HE WAS LIVING HERE WHEN I STARTED AS THE MANAGER,
BUT NOT ANYMORE. SO YOU KNEW HIM?
YEAH. NICE GUY, ALWAYS FIRED UP,
ALWAYS FULL OF DREAMS AND SCHEMES. I LIKED HIM.
CAN YOU TELL US WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU SAW HIM?
PROBABLY FOUR YEARS AGO, RIGHT ABOUT THE TIME HE MOVED OUT. HE MOVED OUT?
YEAH. CRAZY, IF YOU ASK ME. GUY'S GOT A PRE-WAR UNIT--
SMALL, BUT BEAUTIFUL, AND EVEN BETTER, RENT-CONTROLLED.
SO WHAT HAPPENED? GUY GOES AND BUYS A DOG.
IT'S INSANE,
BECAUSE BUILDING POLICY SAYS NO PETS.
AND I GIVE HIM A CHOICE.
HE KEEPS THE DOG AND GIVES UP THE UNIT.
CAN YOU TELL US, UH, WHERE WE COULD FIND HIM?
UH, HIS FRIENDS, FAMILY?
NOT REALLY, BUT I KNOW HE FORWARDED HIS MAIL,
SO MAYBE YOU CAN TRACK HIM DOWN.
OKAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
I'LL CALL RUSSELL. (beep)
MAYBE SHE CAN GET US THE FORWARDING ADDRESS.
HOW SOLID ARE WE ON THIS?
LOOKS PROMISING. WE TIED THE NAME "JAKE LUCAS"
TO THE T-SHIRT ON THE VICTIM
AND THE CABINS NEAR WHERE THE BODY WAS FOUND. WE ALSO GOT AN I.D. OF OUR SKETCH
FROM JAKE LUCAS' OLD LANDLORD. SO THIS SHOULD CLINCH IT.
IF THIS IS HIS BROTHER. (exhales deeply)
HEY. UH, YOU'RE THE ONE WHO CALLED?
YEAH. ALEX DONOVAN. THIS IS CANDACE BUTLER
AND DETECTIVE GRACE RUSSELL FROM CHICAGO P.D.
DETECTIVE?
AND YOU ARE?
UH, JOHN LUCAS.
PLEASE COME IN.
THANKS. YEAH.
SO, UH... (clears throat)
THIS HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH MY BROTHER JAKE?
MR. LUCAS, WHEN'S THE LAST TIME YOU SAW YOUR BROTHER?
UH, IT'S BEEN A WHILE.
HOW LONG IS "A WHILE"?
UH, THREE YEARS, MAYBE. I-I DON'T KNOW.
I'M SORRY TO TELL YOU THIS,
BUT A BODY WAS FOUND UP IN WOODLAND.
WE THINK THERE'S A CHANCE IT COULD BE JAKE.
OH. NO, IT'S NOT POSSIBLE.
JAKE'S IN INDIA.
HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT? BECAUSE I GOT AN E-MAIL FROM HIM THIS MORNING.
IT DOES LOOK A LOT LIKE JAKE.
(door opens) THIS DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.
(door closes) JAKE'S LIVING IN INDIA.
UH, THIS IS BECKY, OUR SISTER.
I GOT HERE AS SOON AS I COULD.
LOOK, I KNOW IT CAN'T BE JAKE. HE'S BEEN E-MAILING ME, TOO.
WE CAN CHECK THAT. I MEAN, THE POLICE
CAN LOOK AT THE COMPUTER AND TRACE THOSE MESSAGES.
WE CAN. I'LL HAVE A TECH UNIT TAKE A LOOK.
DID YOUR BROTHER EVER SPEND ANTIME AROUND LAKE WARD? UH, OF COURSE.
WE ALL DID. IT WAS A VACATION PLACE FOR OUR FAMILY.
WE STILL GO ONCE IN A WHILE.
HOW OFTEN DO YOU TALK TO JAKE?
NOT OFTEN, BUT THAT'S KINDA JUST HIS THING.
I MEAN, HE'S FLAKY.
FLAKY JAKE.
(chuckles) IT'S WHAT WE CALL HIM.
YEAH, ONE DAY YOU GET AN E-MAIL FROM PARIS--
"IT'S JAKE, JUST CHECKING IN,"
AND NEXT MONTH IT'S BURMASCOW,
YOU KNOW, A-AND THEN JUST NOTHING FOR MONTHS.
WOULD YOU SAY YOU GUYS ARE CLOSE?
WE ARE, BUT JAKE'S HARD TO DESCRIBE.
WHEN HE SURFACES, HE'S GREAT.
WE TALK ABOUT EVERYTHING. BUT THEN HE GOES OFF AGAIN.
READY? GO GET IT!
COME ON!
JAKE'S ALWAYS BEEN DIFFERENT. HE'S ADOPTED. UM...
OUR PARENTS COULDN'T HAVE A THIRD CHILD, A, UH...
SINCE HE NEVER KNEW HIS OWN FAMILY,
I JUST THINK HE TRIES TO CREATE THAT BOND WITH OTHER PEOPLE.
SO...
I HOPE WE'RE WRONG,
BUT IF WE DID FIND JAKE, THE D.N.A. WILL PROVE IT.
WE NEED YOUR HELP FINDING A SAMPLE.
OKAY. UM, HOW DO WE DO THAT?
WELL, YBE IF YOU HAVE
AN OLD HAT OR TOOTHBRUSH OR AN OLD COMB--
ANYTHING YOU HAVE THAT BELONGED TO JAKE WOULD BE HELPFUL.
(Lindsey) SO WHAT DID THE E-MAILS SAY?
UH, I ONLY READ A FEW. THEY WERE SHORT--
STORIES ABOUT MUMBAI AND HOW MUCH HE MISSES EVERYONE.
AND DETECTIVE RUSSELL'S TRACING 'EM?
AND SHE'S CHECKING THE D.N.A. OTHERWISE, WE'RE ON OUR OWN.
HER LIEUTENANT WON'T LET HER GET MORE INVOLVED
UNTIL THERE'S A POSITIVE I.D. ON THE BODY. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY.
EVERYTHING THAT WE HAVE SAYS THAT IT'S JAKE LUCAS.
I KNOW. BUT WE COULD STILL BE ON THE WRONG TRACK. (computer beeps)
WE'RE NOT. AND IF JAKE LUCAS IS WHO I THINK HE IS,
THINGS JUST GOT A LITTLE MORE INTERESTING.
ACCORDING TO THE TECH TRADES, HE'S KINDA FAMOUS.
FOR WHAT? WELL, NOT FAMOUS IN LIKE YOU'D KNOW HIS NAME,
BUT I BET YOU KNOW HIS WORK. HE CREATED THE KATIE APPLICATION. (Tyler) THAT'S THE GUY?
WHAT? WHAT'S THAT?
IT'S A SOCIAL APPLICATION--
A PRETTY SUCCESSFUL ONE, ACTUALLY. I GUESS HE NAMED
AFTER HIS DOG. IT'S THIS PROGRAM YOU DOWNLOAD ONTO YOUR PHONE.
WHAT'S IT DO? BASICALLY IT JUST MOPS UP WHATEVER INFORMATION'S
AROUND YOU, LIKE, UH, CELL PHONES, WIRELESS SIGNALS,
AND IT SENDS IT TO YOUR PRIVATE NETWORK. IT'S FOR YOUR FRIENDS.
IT CREATES A PICTURE OF WHERE YOU ARE AND WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
LIKE "CANDACE IS AT A COFFEE SHOP IN CHICAGO,
AND IT'S RAINING OUTSIDE." I DON'T KNOW.
I LIKE HAVING YOU GUYS WITH ME, BUT NOT EVERYWHERE I GO.
I AGREE, BUT, UH, ACCORDING TO HIS BROTHER AND SISTER,
HE DID LIKE CREATING BONDS WITH PEOPLE.
MM. I GUESS SO. HE DEVELOPED KATIE
WITH THREE OLD FRIENDS FROM HIGH SCHOOL,
AND THEY SOLD IT FOR A FORTUNE. ANY NAMES?
VICTOR GUPTA, SOFTWARE ENGINEER,
LAYLA DEMCHAK, MARKETING AND P.R.
AND MICHAEL AXTON, C.E.O. MICHAEL AXTON? WE MET WITH HIM.
HE'S REGISTERED AS KATIE'S OWNER. HE KNEW JAKE LUCAS?
I'M NOT WAITING ON RUSSELL TO GET D.N.A.
I SAY WE DO WHAT WE ALWAYS DO-- GET TO KNOW JAKE LUCAS.
HIS FAMILY DESERVES TO KNOW WHO HE REALLY WAS.
I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU THINK THE BODY THEY FOUND
IS JAKE LUCAS.
YEAH, YOU DIDN'T, UH, MENTION THAT THE DOG WAS HIS, MR. AXTON. YOU DIDN'T ASK.
AND HONESTLY, I DIDN'T THINK THERE WAS ??
HE CAN'T BE DEAD. I GET AN E-MAIL FROM HIMEVERY--EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE.
HE'S IN INDIA OR SOMETHING. YEAH, HIS FAMILY GETS THEM, TOO.
THE POLICE ARE CHECKING INTO THAT.
RIGHT NOW WE JUST WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT HIM.
SO IT WAS THE, UH, THE FOUR OF YOU
WHO STARTED THE COMPANY, RIGHT?
(sighs) YEAH. YEAH. WE ALL GREW UP TOGETHER OUTSIDE THE CITY,
IN NAPERVILLE.
UM, WE BUILT THE WHOLE COMPANY
IN THIS GUEST ROOM AT HIS BOARDING HOUSE.
IT WAS YOU, VICTOR GUPTA AND A THIRD PERSON--A WOMAN?
(sighs) LAYLA. YES. WE DON'T SPEAK ANYMORE.
THAT WAS THE DIVORCE I MENTIONED.
UH, WE GOT MARRIED YOUNG. DIDN'T LAST MUCH PAST THE SALE.
I WANTED TO ASK YOU ABOUT THE NAME OF THE COMPANY.
REPEAT N.P. INCORPORATED--
IT'S A LITTLE UNUSUAL, I KNOW.
BUT THE "N.P." STANDS FOR "NUCLEAR PARTICLES."
JAKE LIKED IT BECAUSE THE LETTERS ARE
"PETER PAN" SCRAMBLED. PETER PAN.
SO HE WAS THE TYPE OF GUY WHO DIDN'T WANT TO GROW UP, HMM?
YEAH, HE WAS A KID AT HEART,
BUT THAT'S WHAT MADE HIM SPECIAL. YEAH, WE SPOKE TO HIS BROTHER AND SISTER.
THEY NEVER MENTIONED A THING ABOUT ANY OF HIS SUCCESS.
JAKE PROBABLY DIDN'T TELL 'EM. I'M NOT SURPRISED.
JAKE DID WHAT HE WANTED TO DO.
THAT'S HOW I ENDED UP WITH KATIE. WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
JAKE HAD A TRIP TO INDIA PLANNED AND SHOWED UP AT MY DOOR
AND SAID THAT KATIE'S REGISTERED TO ME NOW.
I DIDN'T LOVE THE IDEA.
KATIE DIDN'T EITHER, I GUESS.
IS ANY OF THIS HELPING YOU?
THE, UH, THE BOARDING HOUSE THAT YOU MENTIONED--
WOULD YOU MIND SHOWING THAT TO ME?
YES. OKAY. NO PROBLEM.
IT'S TRUE. THE FIRST KATIE APPLICATION
WAS WRITTEN IN ONE OF OUR ROOMS.
THIS IS WHERE JAKE WENT WHEN HE LEFT HIS APARTMENT? YEAH, A FEW YEARS AGO NOW.
THE FOUR OF THEM ALWAYS TREATED ME LIKE ONE OF THE FAMILY,
NOT LIKE A LANDLORD.
THIS IS IT.
OKAY, MICHAEL, YOU GO ON IN. I WANT TO GRAB SOMETHING.
THIS IS IT.
THIS IS WHERE IT ALL STARTED.
IN THE BEGINNING, WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE MUCH,
ALL YOU CAN THINK ABOUT IS MORE.
BUT WHEN I GOT IT,
ALL I COULD THINK ABWAS HOW HAPPY I WAS WHEN I HAD LESS.
(sighs) IT'S A PRETTY SMALL ROOM FOR BUSINESS MEETINGS.
YOU GUYS MUST HAVE REALLY LIKED EACH OTHER.
SEE FOR YOURSELF.
IS THAT WHAT I THINK IT IS? MM-HMM.
I USED TO COME BY SOME NIGHTS WITH MY CAMERA.
EVEN THEN, I KNEW SOMETHING SPECIAL WAS HAPPENING.
(Jake) IT'S ON? OKAY.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WELCOME TO THE CLUBHOUSE.
THIS IS WHERE THE MAGIC HAPPENS. (laughs)
UH, LOOK. LOOK. HERE. HERE. UH, THIS IS THE MAGIC SOFA.
GET A SHOT OF THE MAGIC SOFA.
AND, UM, LOOK, THERE HIDING BEHIND THAT DOOR--
COME WITH ME-- THE LOVELY LAYLA DEMCHAK... (laughs)
MISTRESS TO MICHAEL. (Michael) HEY, COULD YOU TALK ABOUT THE PRODUCT, PLEASE?
IT'S CALLED KATIE. IT'S THE CURE FOR LONELINESS.
WITH THIS PROGRAM, YOUR FRIENDS,
YOUR FRIENDS... HI, MOM.
ARE ALWAYS WITH YOU, 24/7, WHEREVER YOU ARE.
(cell phone rings) ISN'T THAT RIGHT, KATIE?
EXCUSE ME. HEY. HUH?
HOW'S IT GOING?
WE RUSHED THE D.N.A. IT'S OFFICIAL.
Our Doe is Jake Lucas. (sighs)
DETECTIVE? YOU STILL THERE?
UH, YEAH. I LIKE THE GUY.
I WAS KINDA HOPING IT WASN'T HIM.
ANLUCK ON THE E-MAILS?
WELL, WE TRACED THEM. IT WASN'T EASY.
WHOEVER SENT THEM KNEW HOW TO COVER THEIR TRACKS. AND?
YOU WANT TO GUESS WHERE THEY CAME FROM? NOT MUMBAI?
TRY THE SOUTH SIDE OF CHICAGO.
I ALWAYS WANTED O TO INDIA.
I TRIED TO CONVINCE EVERYONE TO COME,
BUT THEY ALL HAD TOO MUCH GOING ON.
THE REAL WORLD-- IT CAN REALLY GET IN THE WAY.
IT DIDN'T MATTER.
IN THE END, I NEVER LEFT CHICAGO.
(Russell) WE TRACED THE E-MAILS TO THIS ADDRESS.
(click) IT'S JUST A ROOM, REALLY.
BEEN LEASED ABOUT TWO YEARS NOW.
YOU DON'T KNOW WHO LEASED IT?
IT'S CRAZY, I KNOW, BUT, UH, IT'S NOT EXACTLY TRUMP TOWERS.
I MET HIM ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO. HE CAME IN.
I MADE HIM A DEAL ON THE SPACE.
HE, UH, PAID IN CASH, JUST LIKE HE HAS EVERY MONTH SINCE. IN PERSON?
NEVER. ONLY BY MAIL. AND WOULD YOU RECOGNIZE HIM?
BACK THEN? I DON'T THINK SO.
TRUTH IS, IF YOU TOLD ME YOU WERE HIM, I'D BELIEVE IT.
THANKS. WELL, WHAT DO YOU THINK?
(siren wailing in distance) WE'LL SEIZE THE COMPUTER,
SEE IF THERE'S ANYTHING WE CAN TRACE.
OKAY. GOOD LUCK. UM, I GOTTA GO. WHERE?
GO SEE VICTOR GUPTA.
HE WAS ONE OF THE ORIGINAL FOUR IN JAKE'S COMPANY. WHY HIM?
UH, HE STILL CONSULTS FOR REPEAT N.P.
I WANT TO SEE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE. YOU LOOK CONCERNED.
HONESTLY, I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT GUPTA.
BUT I'M STARTING TO FEEL LIKE EVERY TIME A CASE
GOES SOMEWHERE, YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN THERE ALREADY.
WE'RE JUST TRYING TO HELP. I KNOW. BUT IF GUPTA TURNS OUT TO BE A SUSPECT,
MAYBE A DETECTIVE SHOULD BE AT HIS FIRST INTERVIEW. WELL, THEN COME WITH ME.
LOOK, WE DON'T WANT TO GET IN THE WAY.
WE DON'T WORK LIKE YOU DO. WE DON'T WORK CASES
IN A STRAIGHT LINE. WE LEARN. AND I APPRECIATE THAT,
AND I THINK YOU SHOULD GO. I'M JUST SAYI
YOU'RE HERE TO HELP US, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND.
THAT'S LAYLA DEMCHAK,
ONE OF JAKE'S FRIENDS AND PARTNERS.
THIS MUST HAVE BEEN WHAT SHE DID WITH HER SHARE OF THE PAYOUT.
RENTS IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD AREN'T CHEAP. YEAH, AND NEITHER'S
THE SMALLER THE OUTFIT, THE HIGHER THE PRICE TAG.
MM. LET'S GO IN.
JAKE'S NUMBER ONE RULE WAS
HE HAD TO BE ABLE TO BRING KATIE TO WORK. AND YOU'RE A CONSULTANT?
I'M ON THE BOARD, BUT I LIKE TO STAY INVOLVED IN THE DAY-TO-DAY.
I CAN SEE WHY YOU WOULDN'T WANT TO LEAVE.
THIS HAS TO BE THE COOLEST OFFICE I'VE EVER SEEN. YEAH, DAY CARE CENTER,
IN THE MIND OF A MODERN-DAY PETER PAN, IT ALL SEEMS IDYLLIC,
BUT THIS IS BUSINESS.
IT CAN'T BE ALL JELLY BEANS AND PUPPY DOGS.
NO. YOU KNOW, WE STARTED AS FRIENDS,
BUT THE MORE SUCCESSFUL WE GOT, THE MORE THAT CHANGED.
WHY IS THAT? TIME, PERSONALITIES, EGOS.
IT'S NATURAL.
YOU KNOW, JAKE DIDN'T KNOW BUSINESS, BUT AFTER A WHILE,
HE KNEW ENOUGH TO START PUSHING MICHAEL PRETTY HARD.
AND I WROTE THE CODE FOR KATIE, BUT JAKE STILL TOOK FULL CREDIT.
I KIND OF RESENTED THAT A LITTLE.
UH, WHAT ABOUT LAYLA?
LAYLA AND JAKE DIDN'T FIGHT. I DON'T KNOW WHY.
SHE ALWAYS SEEMED TO, UH,
UNDERSTAND WHERE HE WAS COMING FROM.
HIS BROTHER AND SISTER SAID THEY USED TO CALL HIM "FLAKY JAKE."
UH, IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE THE GUY YOU'RE DESCRIBING,
HE WAS UNPREDICTABLE, BUT HE WAS SERIOUS ABOUT THE COMPANY.
CAN I ASK ABOUT THE CABIN UP IN LAKE WARD?
ANY IDEA WHY JAKE WAS THERE? YEAH, IT WAS RIGHT BEFORE THE BIG SALE.
JAKE INVITED US UP THERE TO TALK ABOUT IT.
IT WAS HIS DECISION,
BUT, UH, HE WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE WERE ALL BEHIND IT.
WERE YOU? OF COURSE. IT WAS A SOLID OFFER.
I MEAN, WE HAD A NICE RUN TOGETHER,
BUT IT W TIME TO MOVE ON.
SO YOU ALL WANTED TO GO YOUR SEPARATE WAYS?
IT WAS TIME. THEY WERE GREAT DAYS,
BUT YOU KNOW WHEN A PARTY IS WINDING DOWN.
JAKE WAS HEADING OFF TO INDIA,
SO ONE WAY OR ANOTHER, THINGS WERE COMING TO AN END.
JAKE WAS ALWAYS SUCH A FREE SPIRIT.
THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME SEE THESE. WHERE SHOULD I PUT THEM?
UH, ANYWHERE ON THE DESK.
(sighs) JAKE AND I USED TO TALK FOR HOURS.
I CAN TELL YOU THAT WITHOUT HIM THERE HOLDING US TOGETHER,
THE THREE OF US WOULD HAVE BEEN AT EACH OTHER'S THATS.
WE DON'T EVEN SPEAK NOW. REALLY?
I JUST THOUGHT YOU GUYS WERE SO HAPPY.
NOTHING'S EVER QUITE THE WAY IT LOOKS.
DID YOU ARGUE? SURE. ON SOME LEVEL,
YOU'RE ALWAYS THE SAME PERSON YOU WERE IN HIGH SCHOOL.
BUT IF YOU NEVER LEAVE THOSE PEOPLE,
I GUESS YOU NEVER GET RID OF THAT BAGGAGE.
HOW'D IT GO WITH VICTOR GUPTA?
UH, INTERESTING GUY. HE ADMITS TO RESENTING JAKE A LITTLE.
UH, WALTER THINKS HE'S INVOLVED. HE NEVER EVEN T HIM.
UH, YOU KNOW WALTER. HE SAYS HE'S GOT A FEELING.
YOU SEE WHY I TELL YOU TO LEAVE THE COP STUFF TO US?
HEY. WE WERE ALL JUST FILLING IN THE BLANKS
WHILE YOU WAITED FOR YOUR D.N.A. RESULT.
SO WHAT BLANKS DID YOU ACTUALLY FILL IN?
WELL, JAKE'S WHOLE GROUP IS A LITTLE OFF.
I AGREE. I TALKED TO AXTON FOR A WHILE. HE NEVER TOLD ME
ANYTHING I COULDN'T HAVE READ IN AN ARTICLE ABOUT THE COMPANY.
THE WHOLE THING JUST SEEMED TOO REHEARSED.
AND GUPTA HAS GOT A CHIP ON HIS SHOULDER
ABOUT WHO REALLY CREATED KATIE. AND LAYLA'S GOT SOME ISSUES, TOO.
I'M GUESSING THAT SHE'S AN ALCOHOLIC. WAS SHE DRUNK?
IT'S BEYOND THAT. ALCOHOLICS DON'T ALWAYS LOOK DRUNK.
I THINK SHE NEEDS A DRINK TO FUNCTION. (computer chimes)
THE POINT IS, SOMETHING'S NOT RIGHT.
HANG ON. OUR CYBERCRIME TECHS TOOK A LOOK
AT THE COMPUTER WE SEIZED. IT HAD TO BE CLEAN.
THEY RECREATED PART OF THE CACHE AND FOUND A NAME.
THOSE E-MAILS WERE SENT FROM AN ACCOUNT OWNED BY JOHN LUCAS,???
NO, NO, NO, NO, NO. OKAY. WAIT.
FIRST YOU TELL ME THAT JAKE IS WORTH MILLIONS,
AND NOW YOU'RE SAYING I'M THE ONE THAT SENT THOSE E-MAILS?
YOUR BROTHER SOLD HIS COMPANY FOR $14 MILLION.
I-I DIDN'T KNOW THAT. MAYBE YOU DID. YOUR PARENTS ARE GONE.
MAYBE YOU KNEW IF JAKE DIED, THAT MONEY WOULD GO
TO YOU AND BECKY. NO. THIS IS CRAZY. I-I-IS THAT TRUE?
MR. LUCAS, WE'RE JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND. THE POLICE THINK
THAT THE E-MAILS CAME FROM AN ACCOUNT IN YOUR NAME.
CAN YOU EXPLAIN THAT? NO, I CAN'T EXPLAIN THAT.
MAYBE YOU WERE ANGRY AT HIM. MAYBE HIS SUCCESS WAS
TOO MUCH FOR YOU TO HANDLE. NO, LOOK, WE NEVER TALKED ABOUT WORK.
COME ON. YOU EXPECT US TO BELIEVE THAT? I SELL OFFICE FURNITURE,
I-I-I READ THE SPORTS PAGES. I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT THE TECH WORLD. I-I KNEW. HE CALLED HERE A COUPLE OF DAYS
BEFORE HE WENT--BEFORE HE WAS SUPPOSED TO GO TO INDIA.
IT WAS LIKE ALWAYS.
I MEAN, HE WAS BAD ABOUT KEEPING IN TOUCH,
BUT WHEN HE DID, IT ALL CAME POURING OUT OF HIM.
HE SAID ONE OF HIS IDEAS WORKED. A COMPANY WANTED TO BUY HIM OUT.
BUT HE DIDN'T WANT TO SELL. WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?
BECAUSE IT WAS JAKE.
I LOVED HIM,
BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ANOTHER ONE OF HIS SCHEMES.
SHE'S RIGHT. I WOULDN'T HAVE BELIEVED IT EITHER.
THAT'S THE TOUGH SIDE OF JAKE--THE WHIMSY.
YOU KNOW, IT'S SOMETHING YOU EXPECT IN A 5-YEAR-OLD,
YOU MIGHT TOLERATE IT FROM A TEENAGER,
BUT IN A GROWN MAN, IT CAN WEAR YOU DOWN.
ENOUGH TO MAKE YOU WANT TO KILL HIM?
I LOVED HIM.
NOW LOOK,
I CAN'T EXPLAIN THE E-MAILS. ALL RIGHT?
IF IT LOOKS LIKE I SENT THEM, THEN SOMEBODY IS SETTING ME UP.
YOU THINK BECKY WAS RIGHT?
ABOUT WHAT? ABOUT JAKE. MAYBE HE INVITED THEM UP THERE TO THE CABIN
'CAUSE HE CHANGED HIS MIND.
MAYBE HE DECID NOT TO SELL THE COMPANY. (cell phone ringing)
IN OTHER WORDS, HE TOLD THEM THERE WOULDN'T BE ANY PAYD.
SOUNDS LIKE MOTIVE TO ME. WALTER. HEY.
HEY, MAN. IT'S ME. IT'S WALTER. YOU OKAY?
DUDE, IT'S ON, RIGHT NOW.
I TOLD YOU SOMETHING WAS UP WITH THAT GUPTA GUY. Okay, Walter, calm down.
HE JUST LEFT HIS HOUSE. ALL RIGHT, HE'S GOT THE LOOK, MAN--
BEADY-EYE McGEE. HE WAS LOOKING AROUND TO SEE
if anyone was following him.
ARE YOU FOLLOWING HIM? Yeah! He left the city.
I TRACKED HIM TO THIS LITTLE RESTAURANT AT LAKE AND OLIVE.
OH, MAN. HE'S NOT ALONE. AXTON JUST SHOWED UP.
YOU'RE NOT GONNA BELIEVE WHO HE'S WITH--LAYLA DEMCHAK.
YOU GOTTA GET OUT HERE.
OKAY, WALT, SIT TIGHT.
DON'T DO ANYTHING. WE'RE ON OUR WAY.
THAT'S THE PLACE, BUT I DON'T SEE WALTER.
OH. THERE THEY ARE.
WHATEVER THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT, IT LOOKS TENSE.
(sighs) THERE'S WALTER.
I THOUGHT YOU TOLD HIM NOT TO DO ANYTHING. (cell phone rings)
HEY. GET OUT OF THERE! (beep)
(lowered voice) I'M TOO FAR AWAY. I CAN'T HEAR ANYTHING.
I'M GONNA TRY TO MOVE TO THE BAR. WALTER, IT'S GRACE. I'M CALLING AN OBSERVATION TEAM.
THEY'LL BE HERE IN TEN MINUTES.
IT COULD BE OVER BY THEN. JUST GIVE HIM-- GIVE HIM A SECOND.
MAYBE HE'LL COME UP WITH SOMETHING.
I TOLD YOU THOSE E-MAILS WERE A BAD IDEA.
WE WERE RECKLESS. WE HAD TO DO SOMETHING, ALL RIGHT?
JAKE WOULD NEVER TRAVEL THAT LONG WITHOUT GETTING IN TOUCH. (Layla) OKAY,SO WHAT DO WE DO NOW?
We're covered. They think John sent the e-mails. We're fine.
WE'RE NOT FINE. I'M NOT FINE. HEY, LOOK, WE HAVE COME THIS FAR, ALL RIGHT?
We stick to the plan. Nothing changes.
I'll promise you one thing--
IF THE COPS-- (crunch, line disconnects)
THE FRIENDSHIP WAS FALLING APART.
I'M GUESSING IT ENDED THAT DAY UP AT THE CABIN.
FOUR OF THEM KNEW WHAT HAPPENED, ONE OF THEM WOUND UP DEAD. I DON'T GET IT.THEY MADE SO MUCH MONEY.
WHO GAINED ANYTHING BY JAKE DYING? UNLESS HE REAL WANTED TO KILL THE DEAL.
AT THE END OF THE DAY, IT WAS HIS DECISION. THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY TO A PEOPLE TO WA
BUT JAKE WASN'T ABOUT THE MONEY, WAS HE? NO, HE WAS ABOUT THE FRIENDSHIP,
SO I CAN IMAGINE HIM SAYING, "LET'S KEEP THIS THING GOING." YEAH, AND I CAN IMAGINE THEIR ANSWER.
YEAH, WELL, IT MAKES SENSE.
JAKE DIDN'T WANT TO SELL, THE THREE OF THEM DID. SO THAT'S WHY THEY KILLED HIM?
$14 MILLION IS WHY THEY KILLED HIM. EVEN IF THAT'S TRUE, I'VE GOT THREE PEOPLE GIVING ALIBIS
FOR EACH OTHER. I NEED ONE OF THEM TO CRACK,
OR IT'S A PROSECUTOR'S NIGHTMARE.
OF THE THREE, I THINK LAYLA'S YOUR WEAKEST LINK.
I AGREE. (sighs)
I THINK IT'S REALLY GOOD FOR YOU. IT'S AN AWESOME COLOR,
AND IT'S THE TYPE OF DRESS THAT YOU CAN WEAR DURING THE DAY--
AHEM. UH, EXCUSE ME? UH, SORRY, HONEY
I DON'T THINK I CARRY YOUR SIZE.
UH, NO.
I WAS WONDERING IF ANY OF YOU OWN A SILVER COUPE.
THAT'S MINE. OKAY, MAYBE YOU CAN HELP ME OUT.
I-I-I REALLY APPRECIATE IT.
UH, IT--I JUST GOTTA GET TO THIS UTILITY BOX.
IF YOU, UH, MOVE YOUR CAR DOWN THE STREET, THAT'D BE GREAT.
SURE.
MA'AM, I'M GONNA NEED YOU TO STEP OUT OF THE CAR, PLEASE.
(Lindsey) THEY ARRESTED HER FOR DRUNK DRIVING?
SHE BLEW A 2.0 ON THE BREATHALYZER.
MORE THAN TWICE THE LEGAL LIMIT.
I HAD A BOSS ONCE WHO WAS AN ALCOHOLIC.
FOUR HOURS WITHOUT A DRINK, AND HETARTED SHAKING.
MAYBE SHE DIDN'T KILL HIM.
IT DIDN'T HAVE TO BE ALL THREE OF THEM.
IT WOULD ONLY TAKE ONE OF THEM TO SNAP. YEAH, BUT BASEON WHAT WE HEARD AT THE RESTAURANT,
ALL THREE OF THEM AT LEAST COVERED IT UP.
SOME REWARD FOR WANTING TO KEEP YOUR FRIENDS TOGETHER.
YOU OKAY WITH THIS?
IT'S LEGAL. IT'S GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME.
SEE YOU IN A FEW HOURS.
(clears throat) SORRY FOR THE DELAY.
(handcuffs click) CENTRAL BOOKING WAS PRETTY BACKED UP.
IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN GET YOU?
YOU KNOW WHAT I NEED.
LISTEN, I'M SORRY ABOUT ALL THIS. I KNOW YOU'RE HURTING.
BUT, UH, WE NEED TO TALK TO YOU, AND WE NEED YOU SOBER.
I SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN DRIVING.
IT'S NOT ABOUT THAT. IT'S ABOUT JAKE LUCAS.
WE SAW YOU WITH MICHAEL AND VICTOR AT THE RESTAURANT.
WE HEARD WHAT YOU SAID TO THEM.
WHAT HAPPENED AT THAT CABIN, LAYLA?
NOTHING.
WE DECIDED TO SELL THE COMPANY.
(sighs) BUT JAKE DIDN'T WANT TO SELL THE COMPANY.
HE DIDN'T WANT THE FOUR OF YOU TO STOP BEING FRIENDS, RIGHT?
LAYLA, IT'S OKAY.
YOU CAN TELL US NOW...
UNLESS YOU WANT TO FEEL LIKE THIS FOREVER.
JAKE...
ASKED US TO COME UP TO LAKE WARD,
JUST LIKE IN THE OLD DAYS...
HE SAID.
WHEN WE GOT THERE,
HE TOLD US HE DIDN'T WANT TO GO THROUGH WITH THE SALE. DID HE SAY WHY?
HE SAID THE FOUR OF US MATTERED MORE TO HIM
THAN WHAT HE COULD GET FOR IT.
WE LET THAT COMPANY DESTROY US,
AND HE WANTED TO FIX IT...
(chuckles) REMIND US OF HOW WE STARTED.
HOW DID EVERYONE TAKE IT?
NOT WELL.
MICHAEL AND VICTOR WERE ANGRY AT FIRST.
I KNOW THEY WANTED OUT. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?
AFTER A WHILE, THEY AGREED NOT TO SELL.
THEY WANTED THE MONEY, BUT THEY... (sighs)
THEY KNEW WHAT HE MEANT.
LAYLA, DID ONE OF THEM WANT THE MONEY ENOUGH
TO KILL JAKE?
NO.
THIS WASN'T ABOUT THE MONEY.
JAKE WAS OUT ON THE DECK,
DRINKING A BEER AND LOOKING AT THE STARS.
I WAITED SO I COULD TALK TO HIM ALONE.
I SAID, "JAKE,
WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT, WE'RE NOT KIDS ANYMORE."
(crying) "I'M A GROWN WOMAN.
HOW LONG IS IT GONNA TAKE FOR YOU TO NOTICE IT?"
YOU WERE IN LOVE WITH HIM.
(whispers) WHAT DO YOU THINK?
I ALWAYS HAD BEEN.
BUT HE DIDN'T RECIPROCATE.
HE KNEW HOW I FELT ABOUT HIM.
HE'D KNOWN IT FOR YEARS.
BUT I WAS HIS BEST FRIEND'S GIRL,
AND IT WAS MORE IMPORTANT
TO KEEP US TOGETHER AS A GROUP.
IT WAS HARD FOR LAYLA
TO HEAR ME SAY, "I LOVE YOU ALL"
WHEN WHAT SHE WANTED TO HEAR WAS, "I LOVE YOU." WHY CAN'T WE JUST STAY TOGETHER
THAT IS NOT GONNA WORK! IT'S ABOUT THE... NO!
AND THE DIFFERENCE BROKE HER HEART.
I COULDN'T TELL THEM.
MICHAEL FOUND JAKE THNEXT MORNING.
IT LOOKED LIKE AN ACCIDENT.
AND ALL THE TALK OF FRIENDSHIP WENT OUT THE WINDOW.
THE THREE OF YOU COVERED UP HIS DEATH AND SOLD THE COMPANY.
IS THAT WHAT HAPPENED, OR IS THERE ANOTHER REASON, LAYLA?
WE ALL HAD OUR PHONES OUT. WE WERE TRYING TO FIND A SIGNAL
TO CALL THE POLICE. AND THEN VICTOR SAID, "DO YOU REALIZE
"THAT IF JAKE TOLD JUST ONE PERSON THAT HE CHANGED HIS MIND,
THAT NO ONE IS EVER GONNA BELIEVE THAT WE DIDN'T DO THIS?"
AND HE WAS RIGHT.
SO, YEAH, WE MADE IT LOOK LIKE IT NEVER HAPPENED.
AND, YES, WE TOOK THE MONEY.
LOOK HOW HAPPY IT MADE US.
LOOKING BACK, IT WAS MY MISTAKE.
I DIDN'T WANT TO GROW UP.
I WANTED TO GO BACK
TO THE BEGINNING... (starts engine)
TO THE DAYS WHEN ALL I HAD WAS AN IDEA
AND THE FOUR OF US WERE STILL BEST FRIENDS.
BUT YOU CAN'T GO BACK.
PEOPLE CHANGE.
FRIENDSHIPS EVOLVE.
I TRIED TO KEEP OUR GRP TOGETHER
WHEN IT WAS MEANT TO COME APART.
PLACES CAN BE MAGIC,
AND CERTAIN TIMES IN YOUR LIFE CAN BE MAGIC, TOO.
BUT WHEN THEY GO,
YOU HAVE TO LET THEM GO.
I KNOW THAT NOW.
YOU STILL TAKE THEM WITH YOU--
THE GREAT DAYS,
THE DAYS WHEN YOU WERE PART OF SOMETHING,
WHEN ALL OF YOU JOINED TOGETHER
BECAUSE YOU CARED ABOUT THE SAME THING.
OLD FRIENDS--
THEY MAY NOT BE WITH YOU, BUT THEY'RE A PART OF YOU.
AND THEN THERE'S KATIE--
THE ONE FRIEND WHO NEVER LEFT MY SIDE.
I MISS HER.
BUT I CAN MOVE ON NOW.
MY NAME IS JAKE LUCAS.
