( doorbell rings ) hi. i'm alexa. this is bobby. we're conducting a ministry in your neighborhood today. we want to tell you about the good news and the good book. i don't have time.

oh, sure you do. just look at the pamphlet. they might be watching the house, so just... look at the pamphlet. i don't know what you're talking about. mr. colter, if you think you can get your wife and kids back safe without our help... my wife and kids are safe. we spoke with your mother-in-law. they went to the doctor's. come on, now. that's not true. we know they're missing. you want the truth. we had a fight this morning. my wife left with the girls. i-i don't know where they went. mr. colter, you have no choice here. you have to let us handle this. everything's fine. just leave me alone. man: you can keep these pamphlets to read. and god bless you for talking to us. eames: colter won't play ball. he's scared. special services just got the paperwork from the d.a.'s. they're putting the taps on his phones. well, we're going to his bank. anything moves here, call us. done.

what about financial problems? we're a hedge fund company. there's always problems, and it's always about money. i meant personal-- does he owe money? does he gamble? if we knew he had a gambling problem we wouldn't be in business with him. anyway, his wife came into some family money last year. she did? well, that's what he said. he bought a porsche took his family to sardinia last summer. cala di volpe-- 1500 bucks a day. well, isn't that standard recreation for you... hedge-fund guys? yeah. well, there are no millionaires here. last summer might have been a different story. one of the big firms made a buyout offer. everything was on track. the examiners were happy... so... colter might have been expecting a big payoff. three and a half million. and then 9-11 happened. clients withdrew their offer. and then with no bonuses last year... colter was living beyond his means. he was tapped out at the bank. maybe he went to the street for a loan. and now the loan's due. ( phone ringing )

eames. okay. call us back with the location. we'll hook up with you. colter's on the move. he's been waiting there about ten minutes. phone company's working on setting up a trace on all four phones. ( phone ringing ) hello. man ( with accent ): lucas colter? yes, it's me. do you have all the money? no. no, first i want to talk to my wife. what are you talking about? you want. what you want, i don't care. i care about the money. look, i told you people yesterday, i need five days. five days is going to be very long time for your family. maybe you want to try harder to get the money. i will. just don't hurt them. this is your choice. you get the money. you don't tell the police. i haven't told them. and you never tell them-- they will put you in jail and i will come back and kill your family.

an intense ache all over. it was hard to do what mattered. my doctor diagnosed it as fibromyalgia... thought to be the result of overactive nerves that cause chronic, widespread pain. lyrica is believed to calm these nerves.

red robin truly has a burger for everyone. even those of us who don't have a burger daddy. 24 burgers. a million reasons. ♪ red robin...yummm that's the only loan on his books. this loan wouldn't be on the books. you mean from a loan shark? i don't know anything about that. you're his accountant. didn't you notice he paid off a lot of overdue bills six months ago? excuse me, but why am i even talking to you? you don't have a subpoena or a warrant. we think the people he owes money to kidnapped his family. oh, jeez. susan and the kids? now, you want to help us, right? um...

i knew lucas was trying to raise cash the last couple weeks, but he didn't tell me why. i didn't even know he was having money problems. six months ago-- end of last summer. how much cash did he have on hand? uh... not much. that's when his company got the buyout offer. the buyer would have had auditors going over the books. if lucas was dipping into company funds he'd have to put the money back fast. yeah, so, he went to a loan shark. lucas is an embezzler? oh, jeez. no wonder he doesn't want our help. dad, this time i really need that money. no. no, no, no. i told you...! they took susan and the girls. they kidnapped them. i have to give them the money today. you dummy. did you call the police? no. we have to call them. the banks close in two hours. we have to get the money now. the police will know how to stall. listen to me!

just listen to me. meg talked on the phone to the man who took them. this... then he put susan on and she heard him... raping maggie. he raped her. oh, my god, lucas. ( sobbing ): you have to help me get them back. i'll call the bank. i'll get the money. ( sobbing ): oh, god, i'm sorry. i'm sorry. i'll take care of everything. i'll get them back. i'll get them back. his accountant found almost a million bucks of unexplained income over the last year and a half. the guy was stealing with both hands. all right, thank you. the company found an account colter set up for a non-existent office supply house. that's how he was embezzling. we got to make this guy talk to us.

"make" is a big word. he's not moved by the spirit of cooperation. he embezzled his company. pick him up for grand larceny, and step into him. ( moaning sobs ) enough! i think you like it this time. ( stifled sobs ) i think next time you will like it better. ( frightened whimper ) don't move. don't get mad at me. i just collect a little interest on your daddy's loan. get mad at him. ( stifled sobs ) he is weak man. men like him, they are food for wolves. ( clicks tongue ) ( cell phone ringing "theme from bonanza" )

okay. how much? oh. okay. yes, the same place, yes. okay. eames: mr. colter? mr. colter, did you hear what i said? your secret's out. the company knows you stole from them. he's not admitting to any of this. we don't care about his confession. look, you've got nothing to lose now. just give us the name of the loan shark. if he cooperates what consideration can he expect on the larceny charge? i don't care about that. i don't have anything to say to them. mr. colter

if you don't help us, you are responsible for what happens to your family. no, we're wasting our time. aren't we? you're not scared of going to prison. you're scared of what they might do to your family if you talk to us. and you're scared to death... that you might make a mistake. how many kidnappings have you handled? between us, detective eames and i have done nearly a dozen. that's not counting hostage situations. and so far, knock on wood we haven't lost anybody. but, on your own, there are a million ways a kidnap victim can end up dead. even if you catch a lucky break, lucas-- you get them back safe and sound-- unless those people are in jail it will never be over for you, your wife, and your kids.

i want to talk to my client. we don't need to make any deals. detective... ( knock at door ) ( door shuts ) they're out. it was all a misunderstanding. lucas and i had a fight and i left and took the kids with me. but we're fine. now, please, we're very tired. where are your daughters? are they upstairs? you leave them alone! hi. you must be sarah.

might convince the family to talk. the company's backing away from filing a complaint. bad publicity. i'm sorry. we'll have to find another way. i was mistaken. there was no kidnapping. you said there were signs of a struggle, right? you told us that. it was exactly what my daughter told you. it was a stupid little spat. we can't figure out where your son-in-law got the money to pay off this loan shark. somebody must have given him the money. and what puzzles us-- he had been trying to pay this loan for weeks. why didn't he go to this person before the kidnapping? well, maybe he did and he got turned down which raises interesting possibilities. for instance, your son-in-law could have facilitated the kidnapping

to extort money from this unknown person. i'm sure he didn't plan on... on maggie getting violated. but if kidnapping was the only way to get money out of whoever... it's his father. melvin colter. that old son of a bitch has never given lucas a break. melvin: they had a fight. what's surprising about that? my son would try any woman's patience. mr. colter, you know how easy it is for us to find out if you withdrew a large sum of money yesterday? so what? i blew it on a pony. which race? i forget; i don't dwell on my losses. look, i'm going to my barber and if you geniuses follow me, i'll call my lawyer and he'll call his friends at the mayor's office. you don't care you were swindled by your son? we hear you ride him pretty hard. nothing he does

is ever good enough. you know, like when he, he got those courtside seats for the playoffs last year just for the two of you. you didn't even bother to show up. and now he needed money-- he knows he could be lying in front of your doorstep starving and you'd step over him but your granddaughters, well... that's the way to the old man's wallet. he staged the kidnapping, mr. colter. nice try, detective. he didn't buy it for a minute. he must know his son better than we thought. or he knows the loan shark. a white-collar guy like lucas colter's not going to have loan sharks in his rolodex but his dad's been in business for himself for 40 years. might have been a time when he needed some short-term financing. could be how lucas heard of these people. here, i got a u.c.c. filing from melvin colter's company-- med support services-- from six years ago.

looks like he applied to the court for temporary relief from creditors. you have an address on those creditors? uh-huh. "b&c fast credit." that sounds a little sketchy to make business loans. run the address through central records. six years ago, 1219 pell was rented to one carl pettijohn. priors for fraud, possession of stolen goods and loan sharking. come on, fellas. we're talking about a six-year-old loan. melvin colter and i sorted that out eons ago. well, then, let's talk about the loan you made to his son. $650,000. all i see here is a normal business transaction. the interest's a little on the high side but it's perfectly within the law. carver: what's remarkable here isn't what mr. colter paid you it's that he paid you so quickly. that's not my client's concern.
