reason you made the team?

Because of his advice,

and not your own ability?

Well, he's older.

He's been playing longer.

What'd you think

about him being older?

At first I thought

he was 16, okay?

And then, all of a sudden

he's 20 and I'm like, what?

And then we kept talking

and I was, like,

what's the big deal?

He gets me, you know?

He's not judgmental.

He's encouraging.

And despite my age difference

he still loves me.

And he thinks

I'm beautiful.

What'd you think

about him

not being honest

about his age?

You know,

Charlie said that

when you connect

like we did

when you find

that soul mate

that's the only thing

to think about.

Don't you believe that when

two people are in love

nothing else matters?

I can understand how strong

those feelings are, Annie.

But, there are reasons why

girls your age and men his

aren't supposed

to be together.

Whatever.

He loves me.

I know he does.

And he's dying

to call me or email me

but he knows it's no! safe

thanks to my parents

and the FBI.

I just--

What?

I just hope he's okay.

What, he go to lunch early?

He went home.

Said he wasn't feeling well.

Hello?

Will, it's Agent Tate.

I wanted to give

you an update.

Now, look, the motel

didn't give us much.

He paid cash

for the room.

He told the manager

he lost his wallet.

He even ordered a credit

card right in front of him.

The, uh, the cell phone was prepaid.

It was purchased in St. Louis.

He paid cash for that,

too, whoever he is.

So his name's not

Charles Hightower.

Yeah, not that

we can tell.

I found seven of them living

in the U.S. so far

but none of 'em

fit the description.

There 's nothing that even

confirms he's from California

we, uh, we actually traced his IP

address to the Czech Republic.

What?

It seems he's running some

sort of ghost program.

It's a software

that basically bounces

his IP address from

one server to another

all over the world.

Sir?

Sorry, I don't understand.

What does that mean?

It means he's good

at what he's doing.

But don't worry, don't worry.

This is exactly how it starts.

You need to go on through,

go get your stuff.

Yeah, one minute, please.

What about the car?

Anything?

Hang up the phone, sir.

It was an airport rental.

He must've swapped the plates.

Gary!

Look, I'm, I'll have

to call you back. Okay?

Seriously, is

my conversation

that much of a threat

to security?

Thank you, sir.

Is it over?

Yeah, you missed

a pretty good fight.

When they do Real

Housewives of Chicago

I am so auditioning.

Yeah, right.

I talked to Jennie.

Brittany's really upset

you won't call her back.

Good.

She was only

trying to help, honey.

Yeah, well, she's a b*tch.

No, she's

your best friend.

Best friends don't

narc on each other.

Not like she'll ever

get a boyfriend

but if she does, I hope someone

ruins it for her, too.

Lynn?

Did you get my message?

Yeah, I called

you back

but it went to voice mail.

Did you eat?

Have a look

at this a second.

You won't believe this.

What is this?

This is the National

Sex Offenders Registry.

There's perverts all over

Wilmette, not just Chicago.

See this? All

these red dots.

They're everywhere.

Oh, my God.

This guy here is literally

three blocks away on Linden.

What's going on?

Hi, sweetheart.

Um, come here a second.

I, I need you to do

something for me.

These men are all registered sex

offenders in the neighborhood

that fit the description.

I need you to look

through them.

Why?

In case one of them's Charlie.

What?

No. N-- No.

Honey, you should.

One of them could be him.

None of them's him.

Forget the hair and the mustaches.

Just look at the face.

Could any

of them be him?

I said, no.

God, what's

your problem?

My problem is you

were attacked.

It wasn't like that.

Besides, none of them

are Charlie, okay?

Are we done?

Pervert Tracker.

What is this?

It's a group

I met with today.

Supposed to be the best in the country.

They hunt predators.

Today? It says

they're in New Jersey.

You were in New Jersey today?

You got on a plane today

without telling me?

Are you f***ing

kidding me?

I swear to God, Will

if you ever get on a plane

again without telling me

I swear to God, I don't

know what I'd do.

I'm sorry.

Honey, you're right.

I'm sorry.

I'm gonna go

check on her.

I've gotta

get out of my house.

How come? What's

happening at home?

You know, they think I'm stupid

for meeting up with him.

Going back to his hotel.

They said that?

My dad looks at me

like I'm an idiot.

He wants to kill Charlie.

That's all he talks about.

Getting his hands on him.

Well, what would you do if

he got in touch with you

have you thought about what

you would say to him?

I just wanna talk to him.

Hear his voice.

See how his mom's doing,

and his little dog.

See how we're gonna

make this work.

I just wanna talk to him

about what happened.

We haven 'I really

talked about that

about what happened

in the motel.

Are we supposed to?

In my experience,

it helps. It really does.

But only if you're ready.

Li 's kind of weird,

you know.

Like it wasn't really

happening to me.

Like I was watching it

from above.

Sometimes when you can't

physically escape from a situation

where you feel frightened

or threatened

you find a way to remove or

distance yourself psychologically.

It's a way

of protecting yourself.

Does that make sense?

Still have ten minutes.

Yeah, well.

I'll see you later.

Chicago has a very

strong sense of history.

Kinda like when they bought Marshall

Fields, turned it into a Macy's.

They lost half

their client base.

It's a fine line.

You want a fresh look

but you don't want to alienate

your loyal customers.

We loved what you

did with A & A

particularly

in the tween market.

Well, that was mostly

Will's work here.

Well, I don't know

if that's true

but I'm very happy

to take the credit.

Rebecca?

Becky.

Jerry?

Yeah.

Hi, Jerry.

Look at you.

You're gorgeous.

You really think so?

Yeah. Can't believe it's you.

Did you bring

your stuff?

Uh--

F***!

Hey! Hey! Stop! FBI!

Hey, get that guy!

Go, guys, get him, get him!

Come on!

Hey!

Actually, there's

a lot of similarities

between your company

and Academic Appeal.

It's just you have a much more

sophisticated client base.

Everybody wants to broaden

their consumer appeal

especially in the tween market.

I mean, it's like

the Holy Grail of--

Sorry, would you just

excuse me a minute?

Look, I'm

really sorry, Will.

So what made you think

he was our guy?

The program he was running

to scatter his IP address

the chat rooms he used.

Mostly, Will, it was

his conversation.

It was the way he spoke.

It was very similar

to the way Charlie chatted.

How do you know that?

I was able to get transcripts

of two months worth of IM chats

between him and your

daughter from Teen Chat.

You're kidding.

No. I'm not.

So when can I see them?

You can't, Will.

It's an ongoing
