"You are being watched." " The government has a secret system." " A machine that spies on you every hour of every day." " I designed the machine to detect acts of terror, but it sees everything." " Violent crimes involving ordinary people." " The government considers these people irrelevant." " We don't." " Hunted by the authorities, we work in secret." " You'll never find us." " But victim or perpetrator, if your number's up, we'll find you." " Behind the Government Team presents" "The storm warning is for the coastal areas of Nassau and Suffolk counties, including East and South Hampton and Owen Island." " Heavy rains and destructive winds will continue into the night." " Residents are advised to prepare for evacuation." " Isn't this service vest a little unethical?" " I am handi-capable, Mr. Reese, but I need some assistance." " We don't want to exclude Bear from our rainy day activities." " We should have seen Once Upon A Time In The West." " Fewer subtitles." " Any word from our dearly departed Agent Shaw?" " Not a whisper." " What worries me more is that we haven't heard anything from the machine either." " Yes, I've noticed." " Three days." " No numbers." " Maybe we're finally cleaning up the streets." " As much as I'd like that," "I have to wonder if it hasn't got something to do with the actually departed Kara Stanton." " The virus that she uploaded during the time you spent in your bomb vest could easily have spread from the Department of Defense systems, all the way to the machine." " You built the machine, Finch." " Can't you access it?" " Check under the hood?" " I sealed it for a reason, Mr. Reese." " I'm afraid you're going to have to wait what Stanton's employers have in mind." " Maybe your machine really is on the fritz." "  Has this ever happened before, Finch?" "  It's a precedent." " It gave us all six numbers at once?" " Spread out across the country like this." " Very worrisome." " Stranger yet, I can find no solid connection between them." " Maybe they're plotting something together." "  Or someone's plotting against them." "  I wondered that." " Three of the six numbers are listed on the NCIC missing persons database." " Two of the others dropped off the grid entirely." " No digital footprint at all." " People with something to hide or hiding from something." " And there's one local." " Jack Rollins." " He's an antiques dealer in Brooklyn." " He hasn't been reported missing yet." " That could be the next target." " I'll go say hi." " I'll enlist Carter's help looking into the other five." " And I'll keep an eye on the machine's erratic behavior." " Looks like Rollins runs his shop out of his apartment." " There's no answer, so I'm going to let myself in." " Rollins' taste in antiques is exotic." " No sign of the man himself." " But someone was already here and went to a lot of effort to dig up a bill for a rental property out on Owen Island." " I found the account for Jack Rollins' Visa." " Payments on the beach property and a train ticket to Suffolk County, all in the last 24 hours." " Rollins was in a hurry to get out of the city." " And we're not the only ones looking for him." " Heading out in a storm like this?" " Rollins is running from something." " I'll find out what's on Owen Island." " Mr. Reese, is that a good idea?" " Storm or no, Finch, if Rollins is our one lead," "I'm headed to the beach." " Next time you need a favor, can we wait till after the monsoon season?" " Thanks for your help, Moss." "  These files seem a little thin." "  Because the cases are thin." " Dozens of reasons people step off the grid." " Bad credit, old rap sheet." " Sometimes people just disappear." " First person to go missing was a French student studying abroad at Stanford, seven years ago." " Post-collegiate wanderlust." " Wouldn't be the first." "  What's your interest?" "  What's the name in that file?" " It's on the others too." " Alan Fahey." " Desk jockey at our CCSR branch." " Handles cybercrimes, identity theft, mostly white collar stuff." " Looks like he files one hell of a report." " Yeah, he has a lot of notes." " Seems like he's on to something." " If you want, I can give him a call." " See what he's..." "No, that's okay." " I can handle the follow-up." " Well, I'm gonna beat the rain home." " Agent Moss?" " I've been doing this job a long time." " Probably too long." " All that business about Cal Beecher... what do you know?" " Been doing my job for a long time too." " And not having those IAB files, I can only surmise, but the kind of red flags they put up," "Beecher is bad news." " Steer clear, Carter." "  This is Special Agent Fahey." "  This is Detective Carter of the NYPD." " I've been looking through missing files that have your notes on them." " The cases were connected through one potential MO, something about missing or destroyed photos you uncovered at more than one potential crime scene." " Have you been able to chase down any new leads on that MO?" " I work out of headquarters in DC." " I don't chase leads." " I write reports... that no one reads." " Right." " But I might have a new informant with additional information for this case." " I put all that information together months ago." " I called the NYPD at the time." " No one there was helpful." " No one had anything to add." " Now something suddenly just popped up?" " It's a confidential source." " Confidential from the FBI?" " Nice try." " Call the Bureau Liaison if you have any new information, otherwise have a nice day." " They're evacuating the island, Finch." " But I made it out to Rollins' rental house." " Where are you?" " I'm back at Rollins' in Brooklyn." " Bumping around in the dark." " Storm knocked out a transformer down on the street and all power within a nine-block radius." " Why go back there?" " Detective Carter spoke with an FBI agent who's discovered a pattern in the crimes." " There were no photographs of the missing persons at their homes." " So I'm looking for photos, or a lack thereof." " What's this?" "" Basement storage"." " I'm gonna take a look downstairs." " Nothing to worry about." " Empty photo frames." " Just like the others." " Mr. Reese, I've found something interesting in Rollins' basement." " Finch, I didn't copy." " I'm not alone." " What are you doing?" " What is it?" " Mr. Reese," "I think I know what happened to all those missing people." " FBI, don't move." " Hands up." " I want to see some ID." " Which is it?" " You want my hands up, or you want to see ID?" " Jennings." " US Marshals Service." " I'm trying to locate someone, a guy named Rollins." " Got some questions for him." " You looking for Rollins?" " Me too." "  I think he's connected to..." " To another missing persons case." " We believe a wanted fugitive may be looking for Rollins." "  Is he here?" "  I don't know, I just started looking." " Why don't we take our weapons off each other and clear this house?" " Trail was hot on Rollins, but no one at HQ would get off their hands." " So I decided to come out here myself." " You out here all alone?" " It's been a few years since Quantico, but I remember a thing about working." " You're on the right trail." " Rollins was here, he couldn't have gotten far in this storm." " My car is outside." " Why don't we head to the local police?" " We're gonna need more guys on this." " Someone tried to destroy these teeth." " But the flame wasn't hot enough to burn enamel." " It could take some time, but if the vic's dentals are on file, we could get an ID." " No, we can't wait that long." " Assuming that the teeth belong to Jack Rollins, he was likely dead when they were removed." " One would hope so." " Whoever did this knows how to get rid of a body." " They didn't just want to kill Rollins, they wanted him to disappear." " We may be looking at more than a string of missing persons." " We may be looking at a string of murders." " Six victims." " If our killer can assume these identities, then he would be a composite of all these missing persons in more ways than one." " We're looking at a serial killer." "  What are you doing?" "  Mr. Reese is out on an island looking for a man violent enough to pull out another man's teeth." " And now I can't warn him." " I have to get there myself." " I'm pretty sure all the roads are closed now." " How dyou're gonna get out there?" " Think I'll use my pilot's license." " I got a nor'easter touching down right now." " I've got a population of 357 souls" "I've got to get off this island before I can't anymore." " Chief of police is running the evacuation on the mainland." " I'm the law left in the town with half its ass underwater." " This is a matter of federal importance." "  We're looking for this man." "  Don't recognize him." " But if he was a renter, he's probably been evacuated." " Chief?" " Chief, come in." " Mind if we at least make phone calls while we're here?" " Sure, if the cell and land lines weren't down, the power wasn't out, and the emergency radio didn't pick today to crap out on me." "  Anything else?" "  Yeah." " How's your coffee?" " Gents, you may have jurisdiction and authority here, but one thing you don't have is my cooperation." " For now, mother nature takes priority." " Look, Marshal, we can't afford to sit around here with or without the deputy's help." " I don't think we're on the trail of just a missing person here." " I think Rollins is dead, and he may not be the only one." " I think we're on the trail of a cold-blooded killer." " You didn't want to share this earlier?" " I didn't know all the facts." " Technically, it's still just a theory." " Tell me, what do you know about making a body disappear?" " This place is a ghost town." " Yeah, our uni's out are storm patrol." " What brings you down here?" " You." " I would have called, but you're not answering those, are you?" " So I decided to drop by, and you could tell me what I did wrong." " I'm working on something." " I'll talk when I can." " I guess I'll check in later." " How'd you get stuck on the island?" " We got water in the muffler and the engine died, so we came here, Carly and I." "That's my new bride Carly over there." " We just got married." " We're both dental hygienists." " Did I say that?" " Yes." " What did you mean when you said Rollins wasn't the only one?" " We're on the trail of several crimes." " I'm looking at multiple murders across multiple states." " The killer must have taken the identity of his victim before moving on." " I followed the trail back to that student at Stanford, then I worked forward." " Every victim of the killer moved cities within 18 months of vanishing." " Rollins moved to New York." " So I went to New York, found the rental bill." " Followed him out here to Owen Island." " Whoever was traveling as Rollins could easily still be on this island." " We lost the bridge." "  When did this happen, Stan?" "  A few minutes ago." " I locked up the bar, I saw Becky finishing the boards on the AP." " We high-tailed it down to the bridge in time to see it go under." " No crossing it until the tides go down." "  And who's this guy?" "  Dennis Cunningham." " I picked a bad day to check up on my hotel." "  So you're the guy building that hotel?" "  On my drier days." " We're 90 days out on that property." " If it washes away..." "There's more." " On the way here, we saw someone." " Down by the docks." " Did it look like it was trying to get off the island?" " Looked like he was prepping a boat for himself." "  We have to get down there." "  I've now got five stranded people and no way off this rock, this is where I need to be." " Absolutely, Deputy." " So we'll go and bring him back here for you." " Special kind of man ricks his life in this weather for a few crustaceans." " Fellas, I'm just a fisherman." " There's a lot of money in this haul." " I didn't know I was breaking a law." " You have ID?" " Don't get asked for it on the water." "  What's your name?" "  Ethan Mattson." " Ethan, you're on land now." "  Who's with you?" "  No one." " I know you're there." " I've got 15 shots here." " Think it over." " No need for shooting!" " I was just looking to get away from this storm is all!" " You from the island?" " No, I was looking for some work on the boats." " Got stuck out here by the storm, thought I'd ride it out." " Let's get them both back to the station." " I don't care who you are, you can't endanger my citizens by landing your Cessna in the middle of my town." " That's actually a De Havilland Beaver." " What's going on here?" " This amateur storm chaser Harold Gull is under arrest." " He landed his float plane in the town square." " I needed a stretch of water to land and there was, water everywhere." "  And what's all this?" "  My meteorological equipment." " I've been a certified member of the National Storm Chasers and Spotters Association for over ten years." " Deputy, despite this man's recklessness, could you book him with endangering our lives after the storm?" "  We have bigger things to worry about." "  Fine." " But when the storm ends," "I'm hitting him with everything I've got." " Stan, it's getting dark out there." " You think you could put some more diesel in the gennie out back?" " The National Storm Chasers Association, Harold?" " It worked, didn't it?" " We were wrong." " This isn't a group conspiracy." " Those numbers, they're all dead." " And we're tracking their killer." " I know." " I had the displeasure of seeing all that was left of the real Jack Rollins, molars and all." " Some twisted mind's idea of a trophy." " What if the machine sent us all six numbers to tell us that someone had been all of those people?" " What if a smart killer was interested not only in taking lives, but in taking identities." " Like a chameleon." " Changing into his victims, living their lives until he gets bored and moves on to the next." " To identify such a killer, we would want to consider who he has been, and what he might look like." " How do you spot someone who's that good at being anyone else?" " Excuse me, Marshal." " That FBI guy needs to see you out back." " You need to see this." " Stanley put them out." " Someone used diesel to try to cook the pile." " The killer was here minutes ago." " He's close." " And he's shed the "Rollins" identity." " Then he could be anyone in there." " If the killer is among these people, then he's out of his element, he's broken his pattern." " Assuming the identities of his victims, it's part of his ritual." " And now that rollins' ID is burned, he's trapped." " He must have taken on another identity." " And he can't go anywhere with it." " He's as stuck as we are." " Why didn't the machine give us his real identity?" " Why play games?" " I assume he's smart, and he digitally erased his original persona." " I did." " We need to find a way to hunt him." " We might be able to, Mr. Reese." " Are you familiar with storm chasing?" " What are you watching?" " Didn't know if you were still too busy to talk to me." " Actually, I could use another set of eyes on something." " Take a look." " This is a building-owned security camera in Chicago six months ago." " A missing persons I'm working." " Guy named Rollins." " This is him leaving his shop, and him coming back the next day." " He moved to New York soon after." "  What do you notice?" "  That the same guy both times?" "  Why do you ask?" "  That's a close match." " But the guy locking up is left-handed, and the guy unlocking is a righty." " He's also a couple inches taller." " Exactly." " What are you looking at here?" " Some kind of elaborate robbery?" " Something much worse." " So let me get this straight." " You want me to conduct a series of interviews with everyone on the station and you want this guy to help?" " He's the only one who arrived on this island after the bridge went out." " I know he appears a little strange, but he does have some interesting equipment in those bags." " Unless he has a fingerprint scanner and the ViCAP database, what does he have that we need?" " Agent..." "Fahey, is it?" " Are you familiar with the Instantel seismograph?" " Body armor?" " I don't think we'll be taking too much heavy fire with this group." " Look, Jennings, I spend most of my nine-to-five tethered to a desk." " I've questioned a few embezzlers and some identity thieves." " We're about to walk into a room with a killer." " And I'be standing right behind you." " Thank you, Mr. Amis." " I'm with the FBI, looking for a missing person on the island here." " I'd like to ask you a standard series of questions, and I'd appreciate your cooperation." "  Ask." "  This is Jack Rollins." " I'm trying to establish who had contact with him on the island recently." " I don't recognize him." " We don't get too many tourists this time of the year, but I would have seen him at the store." " Who do you recognize at the station tonight, Becky?" " I've known Stanley most of my life." "  Who don't you recognize?" "  That honeymoon couple for one." "  And where did you two meet?" "  We met in Albany." " Why didn't you evacuate earlier?" " I told you, I've got a few thousand bucks crawling around in those traps you made me leave down on the docks." " So you disregarded a state of emergency?" " I had to preserve my catch." " You often pull in traps all by yourself?" "  How's it going?" "  Good." " See all these tiny waves?" " They're called microseisms, and all these little bumps are the heartbeat." " The needle picks it up like it would a tectonic shift, and it's picking up a lot." "  And everyone else?" "  I'm getting clean readings." " The metal in the table amplifies it." " Everyone is steady." " Stanley the bar owner is a little below average, but I think there might be something wrong with him." " I just think his blood alcohol level could start a lawn mower." "  But that fisherman in there?" "  He's nervous about something." " I know Ethan Mattson." " He's lived on Owen for five years." " He gets into some trouble, but he's good on the boats." " Do you wanna know who I don't recognize?" " Half of Owen knows Cunningham Properties, but I've ever said hi to his face." " And that drifter?" " Who comes to an island in winter looking for seasonal work?" " How long have you been the Dean of Student Affairs at Stanford?" " 10... no, 11 years." " I'm wondering if you could shed light on a former student who went missing." " Henri Musset?" "  He graduated..." " In 2005." " I remember Henri." " He was an international student." " He went missing right after he graduated." " Police called for weeks." " Inspectors from France, even Interpol." " There was a digital trail on the boy in San Diego, 18 months after graduating." " Just as we told the authorities then, Henri never left a forwarding address." " We often lose touch with recent alumni until they settle down." " So the last time Henri was seen was on campus." " He lived in student housing." " Did he have a roommate?" " Yes." " His last year, it was a student named Alex Declan." " It says here." " What?" " I just see a note on Henri's housing form." " He requested a new roommate his last semester." " The last semester of his senior year?" " Does that happen often?" " Not usually, most seniors have a million other things on their mind." " But the matter seems to have been resolved." " Do you have any records on Declan?" " That's strange." " Declan is listed in housing as Henri's roommate, but I can't find his registration." " No student photo either." " Something must have fallen through the cracks." " You're such a busy guy." " You don't get out to the island very often." " I don't babysit my properties." " But the hotel out here was days behind schedule." " You think I want to slog around this sandpit in the rain?" " You don't have an ID." " You don't have a alibi for being here on the island last of all, for being down at the boatyard." " I told you." " I was passing through." " Recognize this?" " It's yours." " You've got a lot of D-rings." " Kind of weird." " Unless you're a climber, in the military." " Do you have a heart problem?" " Because right now, yours is really pumping." " Owen Island Station, this is Detective Joss Carter." " Eighth Precinct, New York City, calling on the emergency police frequency." " Do you read me?" " Over." " This is Deputy Schmidt of the Owen Island PD." " Who is this?" " From New York City." " I have new information for the US Marshal on your island." " I need to speak to him immediately." " Who is it?" " Some detective from the city got through, said her name was Carpenter..." "Carter." " The generator." " Do you read me?" " Over." " Is she dead?" " You shouldn't go out there." "  The storm's pretty bad." "  I'm following up on a lead." " To get to Owen Island." " I can't let you do that." " I'm going." " I won't say it again." " But I'm driving." " What's going on here?" " First you question us, and now this?" " You were helping them." " What were they doing in there?" " They asked to use my equipment for police business." " They were looking for liars in the group." " Talking about finding a killer." "  Becky, what did they ask you?" "  They asked me who I recognized here." "  So who don't you recognize?" "  Everyone please settle down." " You're building a hotelon the island." " Nobody even knows your face." " I have hundreds of business contacts, call any of them." " And what good did that do?" " Behavior analysis." " Just give it a minute." " What about you, Mr. Newlywed?" " Nobody knows your face." " Wait, I know his face." " Everybody, we're forgetting, she was killed with a knife." "  So whose knife was it?" "  I know whose it is." " That knife?" " It's called a Ka-Bar." " Not exactly something you pick up at a local bait and tackle." " I didn't hurt anybody." " You need to be a special kind of person to carry a weapon like that." " Let me go." " That's what I thought." " I was lying." " God help me, I was lying." " But I'm not a killer." " You're a Marine." " The knife." " The tattoo." " The D-rings clipped to your bag." " You're on the run." " 24th Meu out of Camp Lejeune." " Second tour." " I couldn't go back." " I wanted to get a boat to Canada." " I got stuck here." " So who else knew you had that knife?" " I don't know." " I came into the station with the fisherman." " Wait, where is the fisherman?" "  He must have slipped out." "  I'll go after him." " If I don't come back, get these people to safety." " You think we can cross the entire state before you say a word to me?" " What do you want to talk about?" " I can think of some things." " Like how an NYPD detective got aced out of the FBI because she keeps bad company, how about that?" " What are you talking about, the FBI?" " Not a friend of Internal Affairs." " I'm in Narcotics." " We get pulled in by IAB half-a-dozen times a year." "  My neck of the woods don't mean a thing." "  It does to me." " Makes me wonder about the man I trusted." " You don't trust me?" " You think I'm dirty?" " I'm on the take?" " Is you think?" "  I don't know what to think." "  What did they tell you about me?" " Slow down!" " You serious?" " What, you think I'd hurt you?" " I don't know." " But I don't want to hurt you." " Marijuana." " This is what you were trying to protect from the storm." " No, that couldn't be." " Unbelievable." " We're hunting a killer, and instead we get amateur drug night in the sticks." " You smuggle it in on your boat?" " Don't say anything." " Just bleed if I'm right." " Ordinarily, I'd make sure you went behind bars." " But I got bigger fish to fry." " So you go in the trunk." " FBI." " What gave me away?" " How did you know?" " The needle spiked in between the interviews." " When I wasn't watching." " When you were resting on the table." " You should keep an eye on that heart rate." " I knew you were too good at those interrogations." " Who are you really?" " I could ask you the same thing." " You're taller than I would have thought." " And you cut your hair." " And you bought every minute of the dedicated Agent Fahey." " Yes, quite the performance." " Make a sound, I start hurting innocents." " Let's take a walk." " I thought a bit more privacy would do us some good." " You know, the walls are closing in." " You have no place to run." " It's over." " It's over for Fahey, sure." " Just like it was over for Rollins." " Was that before or after you tore teeth out of his head and threw them in a furnace?" " Damn things never burn." " Sloppy, I know." " When the FBI's knocking on your door, you have to move faster than you should." " Other agents will come looking." " Like the last one?" " Federal agents always work in pairs." " But this hard-ass showed up solo in a stupid blue windbreaker, knocking on my door, looking for Rollins." " He talked to me." " Seemed nervous." " A little out of his element." " Right then I knew I had him beat." " He left me no choice." " I had to kill him." " Then I realized my only way off this island was to become him." " Then this damn storm hits, and some US Marshal comes knocking." " I was stuck as Special Agent Fahey, so I improvised." " And the deputy." " Why harm her?" " I couldn't be sure what she heard off the radio." " You always have to be ready to improvise." " Honestly, the question isn't who I am." " It's who you are." " I watched you all night." " I can always spot an impostor." " I spotted you." " Are you like me?" " You have no idea." " You're an amateur at this." " Not the way I planned it, man." " I don't hurt people." " And I didn't kill the FBI guy in that trunk." " But you're in the way, so you go in the drink." " Don't worry." " As cold as this water is, it'll be quick." " Ethan." " As quick as that?" " Now that Fahey won't get far," "I think the mysterious Mr. Gull might be my next great challenge." " You'll never get off the island." " By morning they'll come here looking for the real Alan Fahey." " And they'll find him... in the trunk of his car." " And what about you?" " And what about you?" " And what about you?" " And what about... you?" " You asked the question and you're the answer." " Your plane." " You're gonna fly me out of here." " You haven't outlived your usefulness." " You could never be me because I save lives." " You take them." " No, I live those lives better than real people ever could." " I follow them and watch them waste what they have." " I do those identities justice." " The things I've seen." " The lives I've lived." " One day I'll stop, when I find the person I'm meant to be." " What?" " People like you don't stop." " You can rationalize it however you like." " But you hurt people because you like it." " Because you're sick!" " You're maladjusted and you need help." " On second thought, maybe I'll find another way off this island." " I'll miss finding out more about you." " If there's anything left to tell, I'll make it up as I go along." " Don't worry," "I'm good at that." " Just like you." "  You all right, Harold?" "  Detective?" " You have impeccable timing." "  How did you get here?" "  I hitched a ride with the Coast Guard." " And some very unpleasant people inside said they thought they saw you come this way." " So is that him, our identity killer?" " He was pretending to be an FBI agent." " He was really rather good at it." "  He had a badge and a gun and a..." " And what?" " Body armor." " What are you doing?" " It's a police station." " There's bound to be one of these around here somewhere." " Listen..." "I don't know what happened last night between us, but, I'm wondering what happens today." " I don't know what happens." " But I'm glad you were here." " A drug smuggler shot at me with a spear gun last night." " Is that a first for you?" " Wish I could say yes." " Glad you made it back, Mr. Reese." " I am too." " And I'm glad the machine was right." " How so?" " It was smart enough to tell us about a killer with multiple identities." " It may be true that the six numbers were not a glitch, but the three days of silence preceding it were." " The machine had been working properly, we might have gotten a number for the real Alan Fahey and saved him." " Instead, an FBI agent is dead." " I wish I knew what that means for the future." " At least the storm is passing." " No, Mr. Reese, I have a feeling that it's just beginning."
