In Plain Sight Season01 Episode08
Boston
we've tried, father.
But no matterwhat we do, we just...
Sixteen Months Ago
don't feelabout each other the way we used to.
We kind of...
can't stand each other.
I see this a lotthese days.
I think you'll find thatlooking beyond yourselves--
really can't standeach other.
He's got it, don.
Spending time helping others is the best way I knowto open your hearts.
You're familiarwith the immaculate heart soup kitchen on third.
- Yes, I've heardgreat things. - We run it.
What about prayer?
- We-- - attend mass every day.
- We have for years. - Can I finisha sentence?
I don't know. Can you?
Maybe there's a more carnal solution.
You could go ayway*****recreate your first nightof passion.
I-I was thinking morealong the lines of annulment.
Well, unless you're first cousins or one of youwas previously married,
- I don't knowwhat grounds-- - the kennedys do itall the time.
For the millionth time,you're not a kennedy.
It just--it doesn't seem fair.
Feel free to take it upwith his eminence in rome.
So that's your advice?
Sex or prayer?
Look... don, ruth...
you're obviously good peopleand devout catholics.
You need to trust that god has brought you togetherfor a reason,
and holds a divine purposefor you as a married couple.
In other words,we're screwed.
Like monksbefore the tudors.
- We could, you know-- - don't say it.
Divorce.
How can you even suggestsuch a thing?
Especially in his house.
Yeah, I don't knowabout you,
but I'd rather be miserablewith you in this life than face eternal damnationin the next.
I suppose you're right.
I mean, this is how we showour devotion to god.
By accepting that we'llalways be unhappy together And nothing will ever change.
interfering with my business, father.
You want to save souls?
You go convert some protestants.
- But you leave my whores the hell alone! - no, I can't do that!
Please, joseph, thinkabout your immortal soul--
No!
- He's with-- - jesus christ!
- It's joseph connor. - Who's that?
Only the biggest racketeerin boston.
Come on, let's getout of here.
WITSEC ID:.....
Albuquerque - Present Day
Just a little bit of love.
Amen, harold. Good job.
Phil, you know the rules. No pill, no breakfast.
Take the pill, phil,phil, pill.
Good boy. Okay, okay. Now go get breakfast.
Hey, mary. What'd you bring?
Oh, just, you know,more unclaimed lost and found stufffrom the federal building.
Oh, you went outand bought these yourself.
Well...
that is so unlike you.
Hey, mary,good to see you.
Yeah, you too. How are things, don?
Couldn't be better.
Uh, ruth, did you remember to schedulethe hospice delivery?
You mean the same delivery I've scheduled every weekfor over a year?
- Yes, that one. - miss ruthie, william stole my egg!
Sorry, I have to referee.
- So you guys still-- - can't stand each other?
Hey, she even finishesyour sentences.
That's fun, right?
Please explain in god's namewhy you two don't get divorced.
You makeeach other miserable.
And please, don't sayit's because you're catholic.
Lots of catholicsget divorced these days. Hell, I'm catholic.
I plan on getting divorcedone day.
- Be a lucky manwho divorces you. - Damn straight.
Look, mary. It doesn't matterhow many people get divorced.
It's not a democracy. We don't voteon god's will.
Our vows made us onein his eyes.
And who are weto question that?
Although I must admit,
I don't understand why he won't let ruth be with someonethat makes her happy.
Okay then,too weird for me.
- Call meif you need anything. - Will do.
Thanks for the drop-off.
okay, so don'sa little anal, and maybe ruth'sa bit of a ball buster. Who isn't?
Still, you gotta wonder,if such good people with so much in commoncan't find happiness together,
what hope is therefor the rest of us?
Why do they haveto come here to eat?
Ever since I told maryabout the family discount, I cannot get rid of her.
Two weeks ago she didn't wantanything to do with chico.
And then we starthanging out, and all of a suddenshe wants to make it work.
- Leave it alone. - You know what I think?
I think she secretly wants usto get together, that way she's off the hookand it's not her fault.
That's why she keeps asking meto do stuff with him.
I strongly advise you to not put that theoryto the test.
So this is nice, right?
It's like our first dateall over again.
I hope not.
It took weeksfor those bruises to heal.
Technically, that wasour third date.
Only if you countbeing introduced and runninginto each other at the grocery storeas dates.
Yeah. I have to.
So are limes limes firstand then they turn into lemons? Or is itthe other way around?
Oh, sweetie.
Do you really thinklimes and lemons are the same fruit?
Isn't a lemonjust a really ripe lime?
Honey.
What about cauliflowerand broccoli?
What? So I'm not good at produce!
It's not likeI ever had any growing up.
Why don't we forgetabout the whole thing?I was--
no, no, no, please,I want to clear the air.
Here you make this sweet,heartfelt gesture and I completely--
well, okay,in fairness to me, your proposal wasspectacularly ill-conceived.
I mean, ridiculous,but still--
Hey, what's up?
There's been an accident.
Don ferguson'sbeen killed.
I was just talking to himdown at the shelter.
Seemed like henever left that place.
He was one of the fewtruly good, selfless peopleI've ever met.
You know, ayn rand'scentral thesis posited selflessnessas antithetical to good.
100 bucks saysyou die a lonely old man.
Oh, what'she doing here?
What are you doing here?
- Jogging. - In your car.
I don't like to overdo. What about you?
Well, with a fireand a burned body, there's always a questionof arson or homicide.
Car was registeredto a donald ferguson.
I take it you knew him.
Yeah, he and his wiferun a homeless shelter.
I help outfrom time to time. What?
Nothing, I guess I justdon't see you as A...
life in service to otherskind of person.
But hey,good for you.
So you know of any reason whyI should suspect foul play?
Your friend,he piss anybody off lately?
I can't imagine. The guy really was a saint.
Hmm, if memory serves, a whole bunch of saintswere murdered
because they goton the wrong side of the wrong people.
Mind if I break the newsto his widow? We go back.
Knock yourself out.
She's not gonna disappear,is she?
all right, get back to me. Thanks.
It looks like an accident, but we should move ruthjust in case.
Sounds good.
The fbi confirmedthat joseph connor is still in prisonawaiting trial.
But his two sonshave apparently kept up the family's good name.
I'm waiting for an updateon their whereabouts from the bureau officein boston.
All right,thanks for checking.
Oh, if you can,start running backgrounds on the peopleat the shelter.
On their medsthey're colorful. Off 'em, who knows?
All over it.
I have to see him.
ruth, ruth, it's nota great idea.
He was burnedpretty badly.
That doesn't matter. I have to say a prayerover him at least.
He deservesat least that.
All right. All right, I'll--I'll tryto make arrangements tomorrow.
He was a good man.I wish--
what?
That we'd never met.
He could've been happywith someone else.
I made him so miserable.
No, that's not true.
You two accomplishedso much together.
I know he was happywith that.
Look, I knowit's the last thing you want to deal withright now,
but we have to get youto a safe house.
No, I can'T.
The people herewill be distraught when they hear the news.
I need to be herefor them.
Besides, I thoughtit was just an accident.
Yeah, it probably--it probably was.
But until we rule outother possibilities--
you think joseph connorhad something to do with this?
No, I don'T.
But we don't takethose kind of chances.
Sorry, it's not subjectto discussion. It's witsec policy.
Ruth, we haveto leave now.
- No, I won't abandonthese people. - Ruth--
I'll leave the program before I leavethe shelter.
And that's not subjectto discussion.
Besides,these people here, they would never letanyone hurt me.
Unless it was one of themwho killed don.
I just don't understandhow you can chase a ball around in circles with a bat
and gloveall day every day and call that a career. What's the point?
Well, first of all, we don't chasein circles.
We run around a diamond. Okay.
But the point is,I guess, that it'S...
graceful,and athletic, and pure.
And it doesn't pretendor need to be anything otherthan what it is.
It's just baseball.
And I'm really goodat it.
What?
Oh, nothing. It must be really niceto be good at something.
You're good at things.
- No, I'm really not. - No.
I wonderwhat happened.
Can I help you?
Yeah, I was just wonderingif I could hang up a flyer.
We don't normally allowpeople to--
it's for a playthat we're doing downtown.A musical.
I love this show!
When I was a young girl, I always dreamtof playing charity.
Oh, well, then youshould audition.
Audition for what?
Uh, yeah. Yeah, right.
What?
I'm too old?
Not pretty enough?
No, no, I just think you're too classyto play a prostitute.
Oh, please. You are so trying to getyourself out of trouble.
I am not.
Hey, you are absolutelyhot enough to play a hooker.
Hell, I'd pay good moneyto have sex with you.
Mom was likethis prodigy dancer at age 15 until a bunchof stuff happened.
And my dad wasthis super gambler.
And mary, she's alwaysbeen great at everything.
Wait, your dadwas the gambler?
No, that's kenny rogers.
My dad was a gambler.
- "A." - Yeah.
And he pretty muchdid it professionally.
He won this carin a poker game.
This car?
Your dad won this car?
Well, yeah,he supposedly won $17,000, but he was afraidto face jinx
because he'd been gonefor three days.
So he stoppedat the dealership on his way back,and he came home with this little beauty.
Actually, I'll show you. My mom keptthe original registration.
Let's see.
This car is aboutthe only thing in her life she's evertaken care of.
Here we go. You see?
So what do you knowabout lemons?
Limones?
It's--it's my mother.
what the hell is taking so long?
You better not be doingwhat I think you're doing.
Who do you think I am? You?
Just get your assback here. Now!
Uh, I gotta go. My mom's flipping outabout the car.
I'll be back tomorrow to takeyou to physical therapy.
Well, actually,mary offered to take me.
Ha, right! Good luck. All right, call mewhen she doesn't show.
Anyway, I was thinkingafterwards we could maybegrab lunch or a movie?
Your treat, of course.
Well, I already... told maryI'd go out with her.
And maybe lunch and a movie isn't such a good ideafor us.
I don't want to crossthe line.
All right, well, I guessI'll see you around then.
Yeah, well... I guess...
good night, then.
Mrs. Ferguson, I'm so very sorryfor your loss.
May I see donald now?
You should know the burns are extensive.
I just wantedto say good-bye.
And, uh... I miss you.
Didn't see that one coming,did you?
Neither did I.
I'm sorry we couldn'tbe happy together.
I don't yet know the purposeof our time together.
But I'm surefrom where you are the answers are clear.
I hope you know that even thoughI couldn't stand you, I did...
I do love you.
Thank you.
When can I lay himto rest?
I should be able to releasethe body this afternoon.
I don't know if this'll be of any comfort, but he wouldn't have livedmuch longer anyway.
- I don't understand. - Why?
His liver. It's completely cirrhotic.
He would've been dead within a couple of months.
Why was don's livercirrhotic?
You are aware,mrs. Ferguson, that your husband wasan alcoholic.
No, that's not right.
I'm afraidthere's no question.
His blood alcohol was . 28at the time of his death.
No, don never drank. Except for the sacrament.
He helpedso many people get sober.
- He couldn't stand alcohol. - Alcoholics can be very secretive.
Sometimes the peoplethey're closest to don't even know--
my husband got up at 5:00 every morning to minister to the needy.
He didn't get home untilusually well past midnight.
So if you're telling methat that person on that tablewas an alcoholic, then I'm telling you...
that's not my husband.
Then you need to get mea dna sample,
because the body on this tablehas been a fall-down drunk every dayof his adult life.
We got a big problem.
So I don't get it.
Someone killed don and then lefta different body in the car to throw us off?
I don't know. Maybe.
Could be a kidnapping. Any word from the fbi?
Yeah, connor's two sonsleft boston three days ago on a fishing tripto mexico.
Why didn't the fbi give usa heads up?
Well, they're very busy,important people.
Oh, that's unbelievable.
Anyway, they still can't locatethe connor brothers.
They flew into san diego, where they were supposedto meet up with a friend.
But no one in the familycan or will confirm or deny anythingafter that.
Seems the brothers are bigon witness intimidation, but not so muchon itineraries.
But if they killedor took don to keep himfrom testifying, why cover it up?
It's more likely to getthe trial delayed than thrown out.
Who can knowthe inner workings of the criminal mind?
Isn't thatkind of our job?
Okay, how about this?
Maybe the body'sone of the brothers.
Or another accomplicewho got killed accidentally.
Or outlived his usefulness.
- A lot of maybesin what you just said. - You're right.
Why don't we letthe fbi worry about trackingthe brothers?
We'll concentrateon protecting ruth and finding don.
Preferably alive.
Sounds like a plan.
- I'll head back to the office. - Okay.
Oh, you made it.
Of course I made it. Why wouldn't I?
Uh, no reason.
Oh, sexy. So something came upat work.
I'm gonna have to just drop you off. You can get a ride home,right?
Sure.
In case you didn't notice, I've been trying to bemore honest.
Well, I don't know. Maybe "open" is a better word.
Open with peopleand myself about how I relate.
Which is to saymost of the time I don'T.
Uh, I'll call her back.
Oh, don't not talk to heron my account.
- Step outsideif you need some privacy. - Of course not.
I really want to hearwhat you're saying.
As I'm discovering,it has a lot do with how I handle or, um, don't handle commitment.
You know your sister. She can talk.
Is there somethingyou want to tell me?
I think it's great that you're finallyopening up.
I mean about youand brandi.
Get it. For god's sake,talk to her!
Yeah, I'll be quick.
Hello.
It's not fair. I schlep you backand forth from therapy.
I doyour grocery shopping.
And I washyour gross laundry.
And as soonas I want to do something fun, it's crossinga goddamn line?
Look, brandi,it's just that last night--
why don't the three of us go and see a movietogether sometime?
Oh, please, if we waitfor mary to be available, we'll never go.
And what aboutlast night?
Hang on, I'm gettinganother call.
This is ridiculous. What the hell is going onwith you and raphael?
- Nothing. - Really?
Okay, well, he justtook the phone into the next roomto talk to you, so something'sgoing on.
Nothing, it's justa disagreement.
If you're sleepingwith him, I hope you havethe decency to tell me.
I'm not sleepingwith him!
I can't believe everybodythinks that I would do that.
First mom, and now you. I would never sleep with him.
Unless of course you two were definitely broken up.
You know what?I don't have timefor this high school B.S.
Tell chico to call mewhen you two figure this out.
What did you do?
What? Nothing!
Why is everythingalways my fault?
God, go to hell.
Hello? Hello?
Now who's gonna drive me?
Do you remember anyone walking out this waythis morning?
No, not thatI can recall.
Well, someone walked awayfrom the crime scene.
I can't figure out where he went next.
Don't worry. I know just who to call.
Tracks definitelybelong to a male.
Approximately six foot,180 pounds.
This guy's totally jerkingour chain.
From the trail of blood, he's seriously injured.
You can see by his gaithe's getting weaker.
Yeah, go on, smart ass. Say something else.
Oh, hell no.
Car pulled up here.
Four-door sedan.
Rear right tire's bald.
Looks like a guy got out.
There was a struggle.
Our guy was pulledinto the car.
Where'd they go next?
I-40.
With a 15-hour head start,whoever grabbed your guy could be anywherefrom california to arkansas.
don's last cell phone call was to the shelterlast night at 9:16.
Three and a half minutes.
Strange no one mentionedtalking to him.
Looks like backstage at a fashion show.
Only these peoplelook healthier.
Hey, what's going on?
Oh, we're goingto the church to pray for the soulof that poor man who died in don's car.
And for don's safe return.
Uh, I know you're lapsed,but we'd love it if you came.
I'll try to make it.I'm just a little tied upat the moment,
what with trying to findyour missing husband and all.
Listen, don calledthe shelter last night around the same timehe disappeared,
and he spoke to someonefor three minutes.
Do you have any ideawho that might be?
No, but phil's been missingsince last night.
And he wasn't at breakfastthis morning.
He never misses breakfast.
He really shouldn't go a daywithout taking his medication.
- You don't think he had-- - what kind of medicationis he on?
Clozapine. It's an antipsychotic.
I'll get the police on it.
I have to clean up for church.
Sorry, I have to take careof this.
Hey, where were youlast night?
I was here like always.
Did you get any calls? Say around 9:00?
Nope.
I'm sendinga few marshals along for extra securityjust in case.
- Have they foundthose connor boys? - Not yet.
You'll be backright after the service, right?
We're having a picnicafter the service.
Ruth, you need to takethis seriously.
Okay, I know whatyou're doing is important.
But if I can'tprotect you...
I really don't want to kick youout of the program.
Excuse me. I have to get everyoneon the bus.
Of course you do.
It's tough, huh?
What is?
Watching the light go outon those childhood dreams.
So...
what dream didyour little light go out on?
Oh, I wanted to playfor the yankees.
Stupid.
Why is that stupid?
Because every boyboyin the world thinks he's gonna grow upand play for the yankees.
Just like every little girlthinks she's going to, uh,
I don't know, star on broadwayor some such nonsense.
It's not nonsense.
But you know what the hardest part is?
The dagger to the heart?
No, but I'm sureyou'll tell me.
It's when the dreamhas passed you by, and you've madeall these excuses.
You know,why it didn't happen.
And then one day, you have that epiphany.
We just weren'tgood enough.
We didn't have the goods.
I mean, if we did, well...
we wouldn't be here,would we?
I was good enough.
You gonna write "wash me"on the windshield?
Hey, ruth! Do you knowwhose car this is?
Yeah, it's cook'S.
- Maybe he forgotthe ketchup. - Yeah, I'm surethat's it.
real name peter odell.
Multiple drunkand disorderlies, assault, burglary.
Yeah, and that'sall in my past.
Don and ruth saved me. I owe them everything. I-I couldnever hurt don.
Come on, pete.
The dust and the bald tire put your carat the crash sight.
And I know you hada thing for ruth.
Hell, don knew you hada thing for ruth.
To tell you the truth, I think she's gota little thing for you too.
Come on, it doesn'ttake a genius to figure your life gets a whole lotbetter with don gone.
I swear I didn't doanything wrong.
We've got blood, skin, burnt clothes.
That car is a veritable cornucopiaof damning evidence.
Thingsre not looking goodfor you, my friend.
I didn't hurt don.
But someone else did?
Come on, peter.
New mexico isa death penalty state.
That other body turns out to be phil, you're on the hook for two murders.
Help yourself out.
- I can'T. I promised not to tell. - Tell what?
That you killedtwo innocent people?
Okay. Okay.
Don's car was stolen when he wasdelivering food to oneof the outreach facilities.
He saw the guy steal his car,drive away, then veer off the road.
He ran after him to help, but by the time he got there,the car was totally engulfed.
He got burned and he cut up his legpretty bad trying to pullthe guy out.
Calls me at the shelter, tells me to bringthe first aid kit, but not to tell anyone.
I drove out there. I picked him up.
He bandaged himself upas best he could, and then he had me, um, drop him offat the free clinic.
He was--he was bleeding a lot.
But I swearhe was alive.
Don said that he hadto disappear.
That everyone had to thinkthat he died in the crash.
He wouldn't tell me why, but he made me promisenot to tell a soul.
Especially ruth. He said if sheever found out, that she would bein great jeopardy.
Oh, you expect usto believe that load of crap.
Any chance he's connectedto the connors?
With that rap sheet,it wouldn't be a total shock.
Especially since the fbistill can't find them.
Is there any reasonwhy I shouldn't arrest this mope right now?
none that I can think of.
Peter odell,you're under arrest for the murderof donald ferguson. Get up.
You have the rightto remain silent...
Be used against you in a court of law.
Hey, ruth.
I can't take this anymore! It's too much.
He's dead,he's not dead, he's dead.
- I don't know, it's just-- - hey, hey, calm down,calm down.
What's--what's going on?
Phil came to the service. He's alive.
But he's half out of his mindoff his meds.
He said don's dead.
He said he saw don die.
I'm on my way.
Congratulations. Phil's alive, but don's dead. And you're as goodas dead.
Oh, my god. No.
I-it wasn't me. You have to believe me.
No, I really don'T.
Yes, I'd like to auditionfor your show.
okay, I gave him his pill.
But it hasn't takeneffect yet.
Okay, thanks.
Hey, phil.
Listen, I'll let you get-- I'll let you get backto your praying in a minute, now I need your help.
Now, I need you to tell me what happened to don.
Don came to the church.
And--and we prayed.
He was hurt really bad.
Did he say who hurt him? So... don is praying. Then what happened?
Then don died.
I know it's hard.
But I need to knowwhere his body is so we can catchwhoever hurt him, okay?
- Don's in heaven. - No, not his spirit. His body.
Where's his body?
Don's in heaven.
Phil, okay, when we die...
the body gets buried,and the soul goes to heaven.
- The soul inside of phil. - Right, the soul.
- But I wantto concentrate-- - phil has five souls.
They talk all the time. It's really loud.
Now they're talkingabout you.
Where is sister constancewhen you need her?
Okay, phil...
where's heaven?
In the sky. Okay, good.
Souls go to the sky. Bodies stay here.
So where is don'sfrickin' body, phil?
- Heaven. - Okay.
In the sky with... god and maryand the angels.
Jesus.
St.James and st.Thomas. St.Phillip.
And st.Peter. And st.John.
So don died.
Then he went to heaven. Up there?
Is that what you mean?
Phil...
did you help don die?
I put don in heaven. Am I in trouble?
Why don't you go praywith miss ruth, okay?
Phil prays every day.
Cook's locked up.
That's swell. I think philmight've killed don.
Keep an eye on himfor me.
What else have I got to do?
Oh, god.
What?
What--what?
I just spent two daysrunning all over creation thinking you werekidnapped or dead.
Half the hobosin albuquerque are in mourning.
Cook's facingmurder charges. And you have the ballsto shush me?
- Cook killed someone? - Yeah. Apparently you.
Now start explaining. What is going on?
- Again with the shushing. - Listen.
Come here, come here.
Let us pray.
Look at her.
She says it's bad manners to look at your feetwhen talking to god.
Six years ago,I was in a deep crisis.
Not what people like to calla crisis of faith.
I never doubtedgod's existence.
I just couldn't find him.
It was like he wasavoiding me.
It's a terrible thing to be snubbed by the creator.
So I began attending mass at a different churchevery day.
Seven churches, seven masses,seven days. Sometimes even more.
And on the 17th day, in a small cathedralsouth of boston during the liturgyof the eucharist,
I looked over...
and that's what I saw.
I'd never seen anyone with god before.
But you know, that'snot enough to sustain a man and a woman.
We've always had god, but never each other.
You faked your deathto get away from ruth?
No. No, it's god's will, mary.
He spoke to me through the burning jeep.
He called that poor soul who died in my truck home to end his suffering,and mine, and ruth'S.
How much blooddid you lose?
I'm not delusional. God did speak to me.
He said I should hide myself here in his house and pray.
And when my injuries healed,I should leave this place.
Ruth will find happiness.
And I'll continue doinghis work in another city.
This is god's will, mary. It's what he wants.
You don't believe.
I believe you believe.
And I can't think of anyone who deserves to be happyin this life more than you and ruth.
it's ridiculous. Everybody hasthese suspicious minds.
They automaticallyassume the worst.
Like can't two attractiveheterosexual people just be friends?
Not in my experience.
Oh, it's raph.
Probably wants me to come overand do his taxes or snake his toilet.
What?
I just have to say a few things, okay?
Look, I think that for the goodof everybody it'S...
probably bestif we stop hanging out.
What? That's crazy?
Just because we hadsome stupid moment we can't be friendsanymore?
Okay, that's ridiculous. Nothing happened. And nothing will happen.
What are you, three?
I'm sorry, I can'T.
Chico, cut it out. Chico?
accordingto the gospel of don, god told donto free himself and ruth
from the surly bondsof their loveless marriage.
He said that their unionhad fulfilled his purpose.
And now donwas to leave ruth with the beliefhe had perished
so that they mightboth go out and find happiness on earth.
Don, being the lord'sfaithful servant, was loathe to disobey.
"And jesus came upontwo brothers "who were fishingin the sea of galilee.
"And said unto them,'follow me, and I will turn youinto fishers of people.'"
What's that got to dowith it?
