The Mostly True Story of Tanner & Louise

Four days after Louise was reported missing, Agent Huang criticizes her coworker, Jamal, for releasing the information about the Jaguar to the press, because now Louise has ditched the car, giving it as a tip to a teenage breakfast worker at the Holiday Inn Express. Agent Huang is frustrated and trying to stop swearing for the sake of her young son, Philip. Agent Huang pulls the phone records from the Holiday Inn Express and then rereads the newspaper clipping from the Boston Globe from January 2, 1976, outlining the robbery of the Copley Plaza hotel in which two armed men robbed 52 safety deposit boxes and made out with $3 million in jewels and cash, including the 37-carat Kinsey diamond. The seven staff members held hostage were apologized to by the robbers and given $50 each in compensation. The police were looking into a few leads, including New York Mafia leader Salvatore D’Amato. The Copley Plaza Heist became a cold case five years after the robbery, passing from agent to agent. Patricia, aka Louise, had been the “girlfriend” of Salvatore, and Agent Huang finds her to be a suspect. She considers the fact that past agents may have overlooked Patricia since she is a woman, and she recalls being similarly overlooked when she hoped for a promotion; this case could change her career.
