"Yeah, Linden here." "Back behind the tape." "Yeah, you heard me." "Sarah, sorry about this." "Lieutenant said you were on call, so... where's the body?" "Conveyor shed." "Homeless guy found her a couple hours ago." "Jane Doe, no I.D., wallet." "Coroner's en route." "You're the first one here." "Got to go up the stairs." "Follow the ramp." "You'll find her." "You want me to walk you through?" "No." "I'm good, thanks." "You're out of here, what, Friday?" "Nope." "Today." "Hey!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "# For she's a jolly good fellow # # for she's a jolly good fellow # # which nobody can deny #" "Yeah!" "Bon voyage!" "Give her a glass." "Rick, are you still here?" "Rick?" "Rick?" "Boo." "I so had you." "Unh-unh, Charlie brown with the football." "I think Lucy needs a spanking." "I'm not even gonna ask." "Where's Jack?" "Dropped him off at school." "Is he mad?" "He's 15." "It's his job to hate us." "He'll come around, or I'll make him." "What does, uh, candy cane feel about, uh, Sonoma?" "Pop that damn thing before Jack sees it." "Okay." "What time are the movers coming?" "In an hour." "Oh, Regi called and said she wanted to take Jack for a spin on the boat before we leave." "Maybe she can give me away at the wedding." "What'll your parents think about that?" "Who cares?" "What about you?" "You ready to do this?" "Do what?" "Sell the condo." "Quit your job." "Move your, uh, kid away from his cool friends." "Marry me." "You know I'm not one for words." "It's a good thing you only need two of them." "Mm." "That's me." "Uh... why can't you fly down with us tonight?" "Candy cane wants to play." "Yeah, okay." "Tickets are on top of the fridge." "Flight's at 9:30." "I do." "What?" "Want to marry you." "Tickets on the fridge." "Flight's at 9:30." "No, we'll have a few hours before the airport." "It would be great to take Jack on the water." "It's a bad door." "Uh, w-what are you doing here?" "Uh, who are..." "can I help you?" "Yeah." "This is my office." "Who are you?" "I'm Holder from county." "Are you Linden?" "Sar, you there?" "Yeah." "I got to go." "I'll see you tonight, regi." "Yeah, I'm Linden." "I" " I thought you'd be out of here by now." "But, I mean, if you need more time, I can wait outside." "No, it's okay." "No, no." "Come on in." "I'm almost done." "I got it." "My bad." "I got it." "So, I hear you're moving to L.A." "San Francisco area." "Um, Oakland?" "Sonoma." "Sonoma." "That's nice." "Yep." "Nice weather, ocean, beaches..." "Hate that shit." "You must love this place, then." "Ouch." "Crackhead thought she was Picasso?" "Crackhead's 6-year-old son drew it." "He get iced, too?" "No." "So, what happened to the kid?" "Don't waste time moving in, do you?" "No." "Uh, county cut me loose early, so, uh..." "Well, you got a tough act to follow." "You wrapped up here, Sarah?" "Yep." "All done." "Good." "Got a call down at discovery park." "Check it out." "On my last day?" "My flight's tonight." "You're still on the city's dime." "You can hand it off end of shift, 6:00." "Go on." "Do your job." "Take him." "Show him how to work a scene." "I know how to work a scene." "Grab a box." "We'll take my car." "All right." "Over there." "They tapped me out of the academy at first year... boom, straight undercover." "So I was working vice, narco, and..." "I don't know." "I guess narco kind of stuck to me, so..." "You?" "A u.C.?" "I never would've guessed." "Whatever." "It's mostly like street-level buys and busts, you know," "Joaquim shooting Rakim, blah, blah, blah." "You think homicide's gonna be any different?" "At least you got a bad guy." "Yeah?" "Who's that?" "Is that why you're running away, Linden?" "'Cause you don't know no more?" "Detective Linden." "Where's the body?" "Still looking." "School kids on a field trip this morning found this." "This park's like tweaker central at nights... you know, ho-bags bringing their tricks down." "Could be some basehead." "Owner's not an addict, at least not the kind who hangs around here." "It's a wool sweater." "It looks recently cleaned." "Brought it to the coin wash." "So what?" "You dry-clean wool." "Do you know any tweakers who drop their wardrobe off at the cleaners?" "Anything else?" "This." "Atm card." ""Stanley Larsen."" "Guy loses his wallet while he's getting his knob polished?" "You find anything else, mark it, don't move it." "And, uh, call in sex crimes." "This is theirs for now." "Yo, we got here first." "Yeah, and we don't got a body." "Not yet." "You want to follow it up, go for it." "You're my ride, Linden." "So I'll drop you off at the station." "I need to finish packing up." "I thought you were done." "Flight's not till 9:00, right?" "I won't let you miss it." "Promise." "Let's have a talk with this Stanley Larsen." "Oh, what's that stink?" "I'm here for the pickup." "I'm Stan Larsen." "Yes." "Come." "Place gives me the creeps." "Nie panikuj." "He can hear you, Belko." "Osama here don't give a shit." "Do you, Osama?" "What'd I tell you?" "See?" "Take, take." "Great." "Thanks for your help." "My name faisal, not Osama." "I'll bring your paperwork by tomorrow." "Shut up, Stan." "Hey, babe." "Stan, you need to get home right now." "O- okay, you know what?" "That's gonna stay broken no matter how many times you wave that damn roll of tape at it." "We can't afford a new one." "I'll get belko to fix it." "You know what?" "I am in no mood for that "belko will fix it" bullshit." "Oh, there we go!" "Good as new." "Don't even look at that "on" button, Stanley Larsen!" "I still got the touch, Ukochana." "Oh, yeah?" "Oh, yeah?" "No, no!" "Aah, you're all wet!" "Get off of me!" "Oh, no!" "Oh, no!" "Oh, no!" "No, no!" "No, no!" "You are in such trouble." "No." "You are useless." "You are useless." "Get off of me." "You obnoxious..." "Come here." "Mm." "I got to go." "Okay." "Goodbye." "Come here." "Come here." "Come here." "I want to talk to you about something." "Yeah?" "You got to promise me you won't blow." "I mean it." "I mean it." "Tell me, baby." "Rosie said she'd apply for colleges." "She just wants to go out of state." "Baby, that is a good thing..." "come on... that she finally wants to go." "Well, if it's what she wants..." "Of course it is, Stan." "I'm not getting into this with you, again." "Mitch, o-out of state?" "Isn't she kind of young?" "She's almost 18." "You got to let her grow up sometime, papa." "I'll think about it." "Okay." "Stan, got to move." "One more time, right here on the stairs." "Come on." "Go!" "Stop being such a devil." "You ready?" "Yeah." "Let's do it." "Jamie." "I'm just on my way." "Hey, Darren." "Good morning." "Hey, how are you?" "Councilman Richmond." "Times poll just came in." "Adams closed our three-point lead." "Good morning to you, too, James." "Election's in 26 days." "We don't have time to be jerking off here." "Wow." "Not an image I want in my head." "Where were you?" "I, uh, slept in." "You never sleep in." "I did this morning." "I lost my watch, which you, uh, took." "No." "It's mine." "It looks like yours, but it's mine." "What time do we have to leave for the school, Jamie?" "10 till." "I'll gather the troops." "He's more nervous than I am." "And you're surprised by this?" "What have we here?" "It looks vaguely like a man's timepiece." "Wherever did you find it?" "On my kitchen table." "What was it doing there?" "With the recent mall shootings, the press is gonna hammer mayor Adams on the gang issue." "Give them ammo." "Well, he killed my midnight hoops tourneys and after-school programs four years in a row." "That's easy." ""Now we have kids stealing and dealing we could've turned around."" "You write that?" "Jamie did." "That's not bad." "Mall shooters?" "Recent gang inductees..." "somalis." "Well, Adams was a fool to ignore them last election." "He'll pay for it this time around." "60 thou and growing." "Registration in rainier valley's through the roof." "If you get them to vote, we got a shot." "Forum today could be our turning point." "I had an interesting chat with councilwoman Yitanes this morning." "Ruth is talking to you?" "Not only that, she's endorsing me." "We go public tomorrow." "Until then, we keep it under wraps." "The only way we get the unions is with her vote." "Add that to the somalis..." "The election's ours." "Hey, Seattle PD." "We're looking for a Stanley Larsen." "He's not here." "You his wife?" "Yeah." "Do you know where we can find him?" "Uh, he's on a job." "I" " I don't know where at." "What about last night?" "Why are you asking about Stan?" "Does your husband usually go out at night, Mrs. Larsen, and not tell you where?" "No." "Stan's always home with me and the kids." "Last night, too?" "Yeah." "We got home late from a camping trip, so he was here." "Have him call us when he gets in." "Are you sure he stayed in last night?" "Yeah." "I'm sure." "How?" "How do you think?" "We just wait for this prick to call?" "In situations like this, I like to ask myself," ""what would Jesus do?"" "Don't know." "I'll ask him." "Mrs. Larsen, do you have a daughter?" "Yeah." "Why?" "Did she go on that camping trip, too?" "No." "She stayed." "She stayed here for the weekend." "She stayed at a friend's house." "When did you talk to her last?" "Um, Friday." "Right before we left town." "Why?" "Did you see Rosie in chem?" "Unh-unh." "All right." "Settle down, guys." "We don't have a lot of time today." "You guys got your questions ready for the candidates?" "Yeah?" "Did anyone do their reading?" "Anyone?" "Anyone?" "Sterling?" "What?" "Your question or your cellphone." "Your call." "I'm looking for Rosie Larsen." "Um, yeah." "Totally." "Rosie spent the weekend at my house." "Did she come to school with you?" "Uh, like, I have a zero period." "And I left early, so..." "Maybe she slept in." "I don't know." "Sterling, are you okay?" "Oh, sorry." "It happens all the time." "Here." "Thank you." "Look, the candidates will be here in less than half an hour." "Can you make sure the seniors are seated by then?" "Yeah." "No problem, Ms. meyers." "Nice try." "What?" "I told you." "How about telling me the truth?" "Rosie had dinner with me and the boys, and then she went to that Halloween dance at her school at..." "I don't know..." "like around 6:00." "6:00?" "That's the last time you saw your daughter?" "Yeah." "Do you recall what she was wearing?" "Uh, you know, tight jeans, a sweater." "She said only freshmen wore costumes." "What color sweater?" "I" " I don't know." "Pink." "Why?" "W- why are you asking about her sweater and her clothes?" "Your daughter have a history of running away, Mrs. Larsen?" "Rosie?" "No, never." "That's crazy." "Did you have words with her, a fight?" "No." "But you weren't worried when you didn't hear from her all weekend?" "I told you, our phone was out of range." "Christ, she's 17." "It's not like we left some little kid behind." "Hello?" "Yeah." "Uh, I" " I don't understand." "No, no, I heard you the first time." "Yes." "Uh-huh." "Linden." "That was Rosie's school." "She wasn't with sterling this weekend." "Last anybody saw her was on Friday at the dance." "Press are falling all over themselves." "Those kids can't stay awake." "Adams knew I would come after him on the gang thing, and he covered his bases." "Expected countermove." "Doesn't take the shine off you." "So why tell me?" "Because he's trying to shake you." "Obviously, it's working." "What's really wrong?" "Move in with me." "Avoiding my question." "You're avoiding mine." "You can break hearts after you get the single-female vote." "You are cold-blooded." "I know." "That's my job..." "taking care of you." "So take care of me." "Move in." "Darren, I know where you were this morning." "I wish you'd talk to me about her." "Councilman, the police are here." "And you should be aware that the school is a potential abduction site." "We'll do our best to be discreet with the media." "Surely this can wait, lieutenant." "We can hold off as long as you feel it necessary, mayor." "Councilman." "Can it wait..." "your investigation?" "Missing kids are usually killed in the first 72 hours, so, no, it can't." "Well, then, we'll have to cancel." "A missing child takes precedence." "Gwen, uh, you can contact my office to reschedule." "Is that it, lieutenant?" "I apologize for the inconvenience." "We'll keep you updated." "Let's go." "Darren, I'd wager you were quite the high-school athlete." "I never cared much for games." "Hmm." "Councilwoman Yitanes does." "I wouldn't depend on Ruth's word if I were you." "Assembly is canceled!" "Return to your classes." "Everyone, check in with your homerooms, please." "Sterling isn't in class." "I don't know where she is." "I'm sorry." "We'll need her home address." "Yeah, yeah." "The office will have it." "You were chaperoning at that Halloween dance, right?" "Yeah." "Who was Rosie with?" "Sterling, like always." "Did she leave with her, too?" "I" " I didn't see." "I was busy trying... do you recall what she was wearing?" "Yeah, yeah." "Uh, she was dressed up like a witch." "A witch?" "Hat, wand, pink wig." "Most of these girls use Halloween to play stripper, so she kind of stood out." "Rosie... she was a pretty hot piece, though, right?" "Yeah." "I wouldn't know." "She's 17." "Kind of my point." "Anyone hitting that?" "I" " I don't think she had a boyfriend." "Ask sterling." "Are we done here?" "Yeah." "Call if you think of anything else." "Linden here." "Is this Jack Linden's mother?" "Yeah." "What is it?" "This is his school calling." "We need you to come in." "Okay." "I'll be there." "Put a car on sterling's house." "Where are you going?" "And get a k-9 unit out at the park." "I'll meet you there." "Hel... you're my ride, Linden." "Kris?" "Kris, come on, please." "'Sup, sterling?" "Where's Jasper?" "He's not at his house or school or anywhere." "Did he and Rosie hook up this weekend?" "And I should tell you why?" "'Cause the cops are looking for her." "She could be in serious trouble." "I mean it." "Give me a smoke." "He's on the island at the weekend manse." "Parents are going to Abu Dhabi or some diseased hole like that." "Was Rosie with him?" "Jasper scored some "x,"" "so, uh, yeah, he was definitely looking to bone." "You're such an a..." "See you, sterling." "Smoking cigarettes at school?" "Really, Jack?" "It's not like I was doing crack, mom." "God." "Why do I have to sit around at Regi's anyway?" "Because there's nowhere else to go." "That's why." "Did you give our new address to your friends?" "Why would I do that?" "I don't know." "So they can write?" "Hello." "Facebook." "Kids don't write letters, mom." "That's retarded." "Well, it'd be really great for them to visit, then." "Like that's ever gonna happen." "They'll love California." "There's so much to do." "It'll be great." "Hey, regi." "Rick's putting together a party, get some of the neighborhood kids together." "He's not my dad." "Hang on." "Linden here." "Hey, it's me." "Yeah." "What is it, Holder?" "We got the k-9 unit here, starting a sweep of the field." "Okay." "I'll be there." "He's trying his best." "We're gonna be really happy in California." "It's gonna be great." "Jack?" "I got to go." "How you been?" "All right." "What's going on?" "Stan, just call me, all right?" "Rosie, we're home!" "Mom, Rosie promised to bring us biking at the docks." "Can we go, please?" "Please!" "Please!" "Wow!" "Can't even hear myself think here." "What'd you feed them, Terry?" "Bag of sugar with a red bull chaser." "And it was awesome." "Go put your backpacks away, and aunt Terry will give you more candy." "Awesome!" "Yes!" "Rosie?" "Any word on Rosie?" "No." "And Stan's not answering his phone." "What'd the cops say?" "Nothing." "They just asked me a bunch of bullshit, as usual." "Mom..." "Mom, where is Rosie?" "!" "She promised we'd go biking!" "She promised!" "Denny!" "Quit your yelling." "I mean it." "Rosie's still at school." "I'll take you." "Go." "Go." "Get your helmets." "Go." "Sorry." "I'm just going a little nuts right here." "I'm telling you, that girl's getting the a... kicking of her life when she gets home." "Look, don't worry." "She'll turn up." "Come on!" "Stan." "Stan, listen, um, it's Rosie." "Why did she lie to us?" "And where the hell has she been?" "She still dating that rich jackoff?" "What?" "Jasper?" "No." "S- she broke up with him last summer." "What, now sterling's run off, nobody can find her?" "What the hell is going on?" "Just stay here in case Rosie comes back." "I'm going out." "Stan, the cops were asking about birthmarks and scars and jewelry and anything they could identify her with." "So I told them about, you know, that... that necklace she always wears, that little butterfly necklace?" "Why are they asking about that?" "She's 17." "She's dumb." "She's not thinking about anybody but herself." "Yeah." "I'll find her." "Okay?" "Yeah." "Yeah." "Okay." "What do you got?" "K-9 picked up a scent." "Started at the fire road where we found the sweater." "Looks like she ran a zigzag through the field, ended up here." "You sweep for possible burial sites?" "Yep." "Nothing." "I don't know." "Maybe she's not here." "Where's the map?" "Dad's alibi checked out." "The park ranger logged vehicle plates at the campsites." "Larsen's car never left." "Did you have a talk with dad?" "He's not a suspect anymore." "You need to have a talk." "And get the unis to do another sweep." "We did two, plus the dog." "I thought you wanted to learn how to work a scene." "Been working it, Linden, for hours." "Welcome to homicide." "Clock never stops." "I thought you had a plane to catch." "Detective, got something." "Yeah." "Linden here." "What is it?" "Got a possible burial site, northeast corner of the woods." "Adams announced his new anti-gang funding package while we were at the school." "Great." "Now it looks like he was on board all along." "You shouldn't have canceled." "I didn't have a choice." "Wait a second." "What if we play into this thing?" "Missing kid, desperate family, you pulling out all the stops to find her, campaign be damned?" "No, no, no." "This is perfect, Darren..." "Jamie..." "Especially if the kid ends up dead." "Jamie, shut up." "Oh, come on." "Adams will look like the douche bag that he already..." "We're not using a family tragedy for a... a sound bite!" "He knew about Yitanes' endorsement." "What?" "There any staff we need to worry about?" "Richmond." "Darren, it's Meg." "The times called." "That reporter again..." "He's asking questions." "I can't really talk right now." "This is important." "He's asking about when I worked for you." "He knows about your trips." "My trips are public record." "Not all of them." "Only you knew about those, Meg." "Gwen and Jamie knew about them, too, and I'm not the one blabbing." "I got to go, Darren." "Thanks, Meg." "Hey, Jinxie Jo." "How you doing?" "Where is she?" "Where's Rosie?" "!" "She didn't tell me, but his parents are out of town." "And on Friday, she got really dressed up for the dance, and she does that when she's gonna meet him." "Jasper." "She's at Jasper's house, Mr. Larsen." "Stan?" "Rosie's on the island with that kid." "What?" "With Jasper?" "Are you sure?" "Yep." "I'm going to pick her up now." "Oh, thank God." "No more worrying, okay, babe?" "Yeah, okay." "Okay." "Love you." "Yeah?" "Found the Larsen girl with her boyfriend." "Friend gave it up." "Sterling?" "Holder put a car on her." "No, he didn't." "And I didn't authorize you to bring in a k-9 unit either." "Did you talk directly to the Larsen girl?" "Some teenybopper got laid." "End of story." "It's over." "And don't you got a plane to catch?" "Linden, got something." "Mama!" "Wrap it up." "We're done." "Where is she?" "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, man." "You need to leave, like, right now, or I'm gonna call the cops." "Where the hell is my daughter?" "!" "She's not here!" "She's not here!" "She's not here!" "Rosie?" "!" "She's not here." "Rosie?" "Rosie, get up." "We're going home now!" "See?" "I told you Rosie isn't here." "Let's go, Linden!" "Hey, babe." "I'm thinking pizza." "How about we grab a couple pies after I pick you and Jack up from the airport?" "That sounds great, Rick." "Oh, I had this sick idea for Sunday's barbecue." "Jack's gonna be bored out of his skull..." "What's the holdup?" "!" "Give me a minute." "...So I'm gonna get one of those bounce-a-rama things..." " You said that 20 minutes ago!" " Throw him in there with a couple other kids, let them bounce the crap out of each other while the "grown-ups" get wasted." "Come to think about it, I might jump in there myself." "No judgments, right?" "Let's go!" "Let's go!" "U there, Sarah?" "I" " I think I'm losing you, babe." "Hello?" "Sarah?" "Where does the fire road lead to?" "To puget sound." "Why?" "Sarah?" "Rick, I got to go." "I'll call you later." "They found her, Linden." "How far is the sound from here?" "Way on the other side of the park, okay?" "The Larsen girl ran in the opposite direction." "So where are they going with fishing poles?" "There's a lake on the other side." "Hello?" "Mitch." "Mitch, Rosie wasn't with him." "Stop it!" "What?" "Where is she?" "Mom!" "I don't know." "I'm at the park." "Why?" "You said they found her sweater here, right?" "Mommy!" "I" " I don't know that that was hers." "Mom?" "What's wrong, mom?" "Tommy, go..." "go watch your videos." "Go on." "Yes!" "Why does he always get to pick?" "Go, now." "Stan, she wouldn't be at that park." "I" " I don't know where else to go, Mitch." "Why are you there?" "I" " I don't understand." "What is going on?" "Can you open the trunk?" "What is it?" "What's going on, Stan?" "Stan?" "Stop!" "Stop now!" "Stan?" "What are you doing?" "I need you to get back in your truck, sir." "I need you to get back in there and move your truck." "Stan?" "Hey." "Wait... wait... wait a minute." "No, sir." "Where are you going?" "Stan, what's going on?" "Please, sir." "Hey." "Rosie!" "Calm down." "Step back." "Rosie!" "Detectives, we've got the father here." "Rosie!" "Just let me talk to her." "All right, all right." "Okay, okay." "You can't be here, Mr. Larsen." "Is it my daughter?" "Is it my daughter?" "I'm sorry." "You can't be here." "No." "No." "No!" "Rosie!" "Rosie!" "Rosie!" "Rosie!" "Stan!" "Stan!" "Stan!" "That's my baby girl!" "Stan!" "Stan!" "Stan!" "We ran the plates." "Car belongs to the Richmond campaign." "Richmond?" "City councilman Richmond?"
