The Forgotten · Season 1
[addressing the viewing audience in voiceover] Look at them all. Heading to work, living their lives. All with a story to tell, all with a future. I was like them. I was like you. And then... then this happened to me. I was on my way somewhere. I had plans, dreams. I had people who loved me. I had a family. But now all I can is wait and hope the police will do all they can. I'm not waiting to be saved. It's too late for that. I'm waiting to be found.
So they explained you who we are, The Forgotten Network?
Judge said you are a victim's rights group and that I'm your best friend for the next 200 hours.
We help identify John and Jane Does. A body is found with no wallet or anything, friends and family haven't come forward, the police have done what they can with the time they've had. But at this certain point, they have no choice, they have to move on to fresher cases.
You guys do this for free?
Yeah, yeah, we're volunteers.
Did you like, lose someone or something?
No, just my mind out of a day job that I hate.
[addressing the viewing audience in voiceover] Jessica was a friend when I needed one the most. She helped me fit in. She taught me how it all worked. We had a million ideas about everything. We even talked about moving to L.A. together. But then I saw Mrs. Jecks, and I realized it was time to stop being Vivian. It was time to go home. I decided to tell Jessica the truth about who I was, where I was from. She was so angry. She said I'd ruined all our plans. She said she trusted me and I betrayed her. I got scared. I told her to stop the car. It was the last thing I ever said.
[addressing the viewing audience in voiceover] What if you could choose your family? Would you change things? Change them? Not me. I loved my family. I think that's the hardest part. Knowing I won't get to start a family of my own. That... and knowing I may never get home again.
What?
Nothing... I wish you could come with us. You were always good under pressure.
I miss it too. I... This is what I do now
[voiceover]I'm back now, back with the people who know me. Back because a different kind of family cared enough to bring me home.
[addressing the viewing audience in voiceover] What gives your life meaning? Gives you a reason to get out of bed in the morning, a sense of purpose? I thought I knew. I thought I had a purpose. And when I lost it, I lost myself. And then died, trying to get it back.
Hey Alex, about the other day... I need this, you know. I just do.
I know the feeling.
So we're cool?
Walter, if you tried to quit I would come after you.
OK, Walter, what's the deal?
Nothing, I'm fine :[pauses] I don't know. Tom just got me thinking I guess. Do you know he scored a touchdown in the '97 playoffs? Centers don't score, Candace. Tom Bryant did something amazing with his life and nobody cares. So what does that say about mine?
[voiceover] I lost the job that told me who I was. Lots of people are going through that these days. It makes you ask some tough questions. What am I here for? Where can I go to make a difference? But trust me, the answer is out there. You just gotta keep looking. I found my answer. My name is Tom Bryant.
[voiceover] Do you know why people hate to admit they're lonely? It's because when you do, everyone thinks something is wrong with you. They think 'I have people in my life, why don't you?' But the strange thing is, you can have people in your life and still be alone. No one knows that better than I do.
Russell thinks Lee's brother was involved in the murder.
Yeah, but why would he kill his own sister?
Good question. He's four years older, they don't live together, it doesn't even seem that their lives intersect.
Yeah, but people has all kinds of baggage when it comes to siblings.
[Lindsay, Tyler, Walter and Alex look at her]
That was a general statement, I love my sister.
So, where does you boss think you are right now?
At an insurance seminar. Ever been to one?
No.
Yeah, it's like being shot with a tranquilizer dart.
So, just pull it off. Are you worried they'll find out?
Well, I mean, the seminar was on avoiding risks, so yeah, maybe I should've gone.
Well, Lindsay knows Northwestern pretty well, maybe she can help.
You know, I'm sure she can.
What?
:[embarrassed] Nothing.
Nothing? I thought you liked Lindsay.
I think Lindsay is fine.
You know what I think? I think maybe you're a little jealous.
