Beyond Page #3

Cold, freezing cold.

A tattoo of uh... flames or something,

other stuff too.

Feelings. Confusion.

Nothing tangible.

It's like I'm experiencing moments

where she would.

As if it were... child senses.

Aw, that's awesome.

What's he gonna do now?

Is he's gonna levitate? His head's gonna spin?

I did see Amy.

She's alive.

Oh, don't even go there.

Don't do that.

You're a fake and I'll prove it.

John, please.

They crawl out of the gutters,

psychics, pranks,...

private detectives.

All looking to get themselves on TV.

He is on TV!

He is the star of his own show!

He is just telling you

what you want to hear.

It wasn't just me. Megan saw it too.

Megan heard it too.

Sarah, don't defend me.

You've got no defense!

You're a suspect.

Now superstar, right the top of my list.

I'm watching you.

- Like Santa?

- Come here!

What?

John...

Stay away from this woman.

Stay away from my case.

Or I will make your life a living hell!

- Yeah, are you good at that?

- Yeah, pretty good.

I'm just trying to help, chief.

It seems like you could

use some on this one.

I'll find this kid.

I find every kid I'm going to find.

- Oh, yeah?

- Yeah!

How many of them are alive?

Detective?

This is a ransom note.

Let's see.

"Amy's safe for now.

$2 million in 48 hours."

"Instructions will follow."

Here, Sarah.

That means she's alive!

Get me Musker.

This is Koski.

Get me Jack Musker.

So how well do you know this guy?

Good hand with gear.

No sea legs.

I wasn't gonna bring the greenhorns back

but then he begged me.

Now that jackass is a no-show

they pulled his ship out.

So does anyone know where he's staying?

This guy got any friends?

No friends I know of.

He kinda comes and goes as he pleases.

Look, I can tell you is he didn't show up

for crab duties two days ago...

...and no one has heard from him ever since.

Thanks for your help.

I'm not surprised she failed her polygraph.

She's really wound up these days, understandably.

What about the husband?

Sarah says he's a wiz kid.

He's a full blown attorney at 22.

- Very driven.

- And you don't like it.

I didn't. After what he did

to my sister...

...you... just don't do that to the wife.

But my opinion aside, you don't actually think

he has anything to do with this, do you?

They haven't been the same since.

Jobs are their lives now.

Amy is the one who suffers.

I used to come out here

all the time when I was a kid.

That's why I invested in my horses.

This place used to be packed

with families and kids.

It was another time, Jack.

Kids aren't the same.

Parents aren't the same.

No. They're not.

They all got their... iPads, cell phones...

...are plugged in, tuned out.

James is a perfect example,

screwing his mousy secretary...

with his 3-year old daughter at home.

When the economy tanked...

he loses his shirt,

comes crawling back then.

- He's under water?

- 6 feet under.

Jim puts on a big show but

he lost almost everything in the markets.

He has a bad habit

of costly appetites.

It's like this place:

Nice enough outside, empty inside.

Well, I'm sure he is re-evaluating

everything right about now.

John?

Whatever happens,

wherever this leads...

you'll bring her back, won't you?

Hello? Farley Connors Show.

Yes, may I speak with Farley Connors, please?

- All right there, chief?

- What do you want?

Let me guess.

You had a vision

I'll be here, right?

Yeah, his name is Gavin.

Nice plane.

Seen one just like it recently, in fact.

Look, superstar, I've got an appointment.

Want to tell me

why you came all the way out here?

I think we got off on the wrong foot.

- I want to help.

- I don't need your kind of help.

You know, it's not what you think.

It's not a blessing, it's a curse.

Let's go for a ride.

So the guy was missing for 48 days

before the family finally brought me in.

Took me less than 2 hours to find him.

Got stuck in the ravine.

Died the second night.

- And you saw this?

- Yes, saw, felt, tasted.

Like echoes.

They just come to me. You know, they...

I don't...

I'm receptive, I guess.

But I can't turn them on or off.

They just...

- They bite you.

- Yeah.

So, how'd you make a living?

Doing that thing that you do, right?

Yeah, I mean... kind of.

I have got a TV show, but...

...sometimes it's hard to collect,

depending on the outcome.

- What's this?

- Hey, put that down! Put it down!

What's this, superstar?

Very funny.

Now close it up.

Now you get your vib

by people go through their things?

Something to hide.

We're gonna see someone?

Well, look at that, you're a psychic.

Oh, you think me being here is a coincidence.

I don't believe in coincidences.

And neither do I. I do believe everything

has a purpose, though.

Even if we don't see it for what it is...

we'll feel it, from time to time.

Even you.

I can't afford to trust in feelings.

You trust your gut, don't you?

Instincts, intuition...

It's just a feeling...

...that you rely on them.

Like you've never met a girl,

and just knows she's the one?

Yeah, but I was wrong.

So much for destiny.

You're meant to be on this case.

Something connects you to it.

Me, too.

I'm here for a reason.

I don't believe that there is

some great mystery to the universe.

It works like everything else:

action, reaction.

You make someone mad,

they hurt you.

Tempt them, they steal.

What you have to do

to solve the puzzle

is to find what we call "motive".

The endgame.

It's that simple. No mystery.

So one of us is gonna be wrong.

Looks like it.

Here's our perp, look.

- It's not him.

- Really?

He's wrong. I have seen this.

It is the wrong guy.

We'll see. You're staying back here.

...first and ten,

closing minutes of the fourth quarter.

Joe Giaonivich

shift to the right side...

for his play.

The ball is set.

The quarterback...

Mr. McClusky?

I'm John Koski,

I'd like to speak with you.

[TV] He cuts through the middle

and gains a yard!

Is this even legal?

It's a foul place.

But he's been here for a while.

- How do you know?

- The food.

Not even a child would eat though.

I told you, it's not the right guy.

Hey, what the hell are you doing

on my boat?

I've been puking from both ends

for the last two days.

The reason I didn't call the captain

is because I don't want to be known as 'squats'

for the next 12 weeks.

You can check with my dock man,

I'm sure he heard me

all day and all night long.

I told you.

And the walls go up.

What is it with you?

Tell me, Kos. Who bites you?

- You tell me, superstar.

- Well, I detect a troubled past.

Don't need my ability to see that.

Somebody hurt you, or you hurt them,

which I can totally see.

Let's not play this game.

You won't like where it goes.

Must be bad, whatever it was.

You lose someone close?

Then you lose him.

- You couldn't find him!

- I said enough!

You're a clever kid, very observant...

...makes you good at what you do, perhaps.

But don't overlook the obvious.

Now that McClusky is out of the picture...
