"Hey, Jules." "Forty-eight." "Let me run her home." "I'll come back I'll do some work for you." "Just bring it to me later." "Thanks, Rick." "Yep." "Hey, Ma." "What's going on?" "Any luck?" "I didn't see shit." "Heard Rhodes shot a fourteen pointer yesterday." "Yeah?" "Yeah." "Well he can kiss my ass." "Ya'll heading back to the house?" "Jesus!" "What are you trying to do?" "Give me a fucking heart attack!" "Just making sure you ain't dead!" "Don't you say that." "Get in." "Listen I'm gonna go freshen up." "Who's coming with me?" "Someday, Noah, when you have a wife, you'll understand." "Think of it this way." "Mama's not happy." "Nobodies happy." "It's your father's birthday." "Hey!" "Hey." "Yo." "What's going on yo?" "When you start gettin' home from work so early?" "It's been the same time for awhile now." "Ya?" "Yep." "They don't give ya no overtime?" "Not anymore." "That's messed up." "Hey, man you think you could clean that kitchen up later?" "It's a trainwreck." "Yeah man I'm right on it." "We need detergent." "What you working on?" "You'll see." "Hey, Noah Daly, good to see ya." "Hey, I got your money for those chairs." "I was gonna see if we could work something out Bill." "Ok, no problemo." "So how are things?" "Can't complain." "Even if I did nobody'd listen." "So what kind of project you working on?" "Around the house stuff, nothing really." "You know last year, he made a hutch for my wife, woman won't shut up about it." "She decorated with that glass angel shit." "They're called figurines." "They're called figurines, and I like em'." "Different strokes for different folks I guess." "Well, I admire folks that work with their hands." "It's gettin' to be a lost art." "You tell Linda I said hi." "Will do." "You have a good day!" "Noah." "Noah." "What's going on?" "Why don't ya have a seat?" "You order yet?" "Pay for the coffee rookie." "There's no easy way to really say this." "We" "We what?" "We found Lauren." "Dad, Lauren forgot my chess piece!" "You sure?" "She's in her castle, daddy." "Can I go get it fast?" "No son I'll go get her." "I'm faster than you anyway." "Yeah right, you're old." "Get up." "Hold on to those, watch your sister." "Where was she?" "Bout' fifteen miles from here, diner on twenty." "What's that?" "Kidnapping." "Dispatch come back with a name of the possible victim." "Lauren Daly." "She's alive?" "Yes." "Jim." "Jim." "Lauren!" "Where is Lauren?" "Lauren!" "Where's the car?" "I don't know!" "The cars gone!" "Where's the car?" "She's gone!" "Where's Lauren?" "What happened?" "I came back from the beach, she's gone!" "Lauren!" "Where is she?" "I don't know, I don't know!" "You see what happened?" "What happened!" "?" "Where is she?" "Holy shit." "She gonna wake up?" "We just recently gave her some pain medication." "She has a high fever and other complications." "Miss Alison Paige, your social worker." "Hi." "Thank you, Connie." "Could you give us a few minutes please?" "Sure." "Thanks." "Mrs. Daly." "You look like you could use some coffee." "You watch her." "She's gonna be ok." "Hey." "Cloud." "Hey!" "How ya been, Tom?" "What happened?" "You guys got enough to worry about." "Why don't ya leave the police work to us." "Why don't ya cut the shit?" "Who called it in?" "Call came in from the Hilltop." "I guess she'd been sittin' out there half the day..." "Nothing in tow but a book and clothes on her back." "Have you questioned her?" "She wouldn't say anything, not a word." "So they ran a missing person's search for the past year." "Nothing." "I just knew it was her." "So no leads?" "Tom you know policy." "Don't bullshit me Cloud..." "You owe me at least that." "First off I don't owe you shit!" "But considering you're her uncle." "There was a mechanic... he was workin' across the street at Simmons Auto Body." "He saw a white pickup with Indiana plates leaving' around the time she was seen sitting' there." "That's it, no bullshit." "Now this is my job." "I will find that son-of-a-bitch and I will bring him to justice!" "Yeah, I've heard this before rookie." "Detective." "Be smart, Tommy." "Lauren's been gone a long time." "Her home is where she lived the majority of her life." "She was kidnapped." "Yes, she was." "So imagine the psychological impact from an experience like that." "It takes time to heal." "Heal what?" "The medical term is Stockholm syndrome." "It's where the victim... feels a connection or maybe love towards their captor, no matter how traumatic the experience was." "She may feel the need to protect him or her." "I'm still her mother." "Yes you are." "The goal is to bring her home." "So I'll be spending a few hours a day with Lauren and your family to help you through this process." "You cannot smoke in here, Mrs. Daly." "Yeah..." "Right." "Mrs. Daly." "Mrs. Daly." "Call me, Marie." "Hey, bro, been looking all over for ya." "I got here as soon as I could." "Is is it really her?" "It's me, momma." "Hey, baby." "Hey, baby." "Nurse, nurse, nurse, nurse!" "Hey, no she, no it's ok!" "Mom, mom, mom, mom." "It's ok now!" "Remember when you and Lauren used to walk over to my Grandmama's house?" "Yeah." "Cause it was only place where you guys could go an pig out on candy and get sick from it?" "Yeah, I remember." "Man my Grammy really loved Lauren didn't she?" "More than us." "Can I ask you something?" "Yeah, of course." "Are you ready for this?" "Yeah, I'll be ok." "Yeah, I'm scared too." "Hi you're here!" "Welcome home!" "Well come on in." "Come on in..." "Come on in." "Noah!" "Your sister's here!" "This is really nice." "Hi, Marcus." "Hey, Family!" "Lauren, good to see ya." "Long time no see." "Maybe next time?" "It's all good." "It's nice to have you here Lauren..." "It really is." "Ya need any help?" "No I'm ok." "Are you sure?" "Pretty sure." "You wanna come hang out with us in there?" "I've got a lot to do around here." "But yes, soon." "Ok, well we're just right in there, it's not far." "Ok." "Logan." "Hey, I'm outta here." "See ya." "I'll be back at eight AM." "K." "Come on." "You should talk to her." "K..." "Goodnight." "Goodnight." "Can I help you?" "Yeah you guys open?" "Well, yeah." "Kind of backed up right now." "Yeah I just didn't know if you guys work on... late nineties pickups or not." "You a cop?" "Nah." "Listen I'll just come back later." "Whoa whoa hey hey whoa!" "I'm due for a break, I gotta take a squirt." "Meet me in the office over there." "Keep leaning' on the son of a bitch." "So, how's the Daly case going?" "Everything's great." "Good, I was concerned about this one." "I wasn't sure how it was gonna pan out frankly." "One misstep, and this could be a media circus." "There aren't any clowns wandering around here yet so far." "So you're doing a good job." "Thank you." "So, bring me up to speed on the details." "Well she's still not speaking..." "Her diet seems to be coming along." "She mostly spends her time reading Great Expectations to herself." "I've seen her finish it six or seven times now." "Ok." "I believe the book could be a way to break through to her." "You were sayin' somethin' out there about... an early nineties pickup truck." "What can I do for ya?" "I need you to tell me who was driving that truck across the street." "I see a lot of trucks across the street." "You know the one I'm talking about." "You said you weren't a cop?" "I'm not." "Well, if ya ain't no cop... you're not my customer and my break is over." "No I think you know exactly, which truck I'm talking about." "Really..." "It's a fucking diner." "What's he look like?" "Can I get you some more coffee?" "Absolutely." "So ya gonna order any food?" "Maybe." "I'm just waiting on an old friend of mine." "A guy who comes in here a lot." "He..." "We lost touch and I was just hoping maybe I could get lucky and run into him." "Maybe you will get lucky." "Let me know if you need anything alright?" "Anything at all." "Ok." "How can I help you, miss?" "Yes, I'm looking for the Charles Dickens section." "Sure..." "Right over here." "Any book in particular?" "Great Expectations." "Great Expectations No kiddin'." "Ya know we're actually doing our fall play." "At the Goshen Theatre right down the street and it's Great Expectations!" "Really?" "Yeah." "What date is the play?" "It's next friday." "I've got it right over here." "And you know what?" "We sell tickets right here at Better World Books if you're interested." "That's great." "You're gonna love this is absolutely my favorite." "Hey." "Hey." "Ya need any help?" "Wanna fold Tommy's underwear?" "Nope." "I'm good." "Yeah." "So, Lauren seems to be doing really well." "She seems very content." "Ya know..." "The people who usually do best in these situations..." "Have a really strong support system." "She's lucky to have a brother like you." "So I'm taking her to see Great Expectations tonight at seven." "If you'd like to join." "You girls look good." "Good move." "Fuck it." "Welcome to tonight's production of Great Expectations!" "Enjoy the show." "Noah?" "Stay." "Good boy." "Happy birthday, Lauren." "Tommy?" "Tommy?" "Come on!" "Hold your noise!" "Keep still ya little devil, or I'll cut your throat!" "Don't cut my throat sir pray don't do it!" "Then tell us your name then quick!" "Pip sir, Pip." "Show us where ya live." "Point out the place." "Where's your mother?" "There, sir." "And your father?" "Alongside with your mother?" "Yes sir him too." "Late of his perish." "Who'd ya live with?" "My sister, sir." "Mrs. Joe Gargery." "Wife of Joe Gargery, the blacksmith, sir." "A blacksmith?" "Looky here, you know what a file is?" "Yes, sir." "And you know what wittles is?" "Food, sir." "Tomorrow morning early you bring here, that file and dem wittles." "Fail to do so, and ignoring my words in particular no matter how small it is." "Your heart shall be torn out and roasted and ate!" "I'll get them for ya, sir." "Let God strike ya dead if ya don't!" "Lord strike me dead if I don't!" "Let's give it up for the cast of Great Expectations!" "Did you see her Grab my hand at the end there?" "Yeah..." "I did." "Thank you." "Goodnight." "Sup slut." "Did you eat my roast beef?" "How ya doin' kid?" "Doin' alright how you doin'?" "I'm alright." "Hey, I ever tell you the story about when your dad used to drop me off at junior high?" "He used to have this blue custom sixty-nine van... with these, landscapes of big titted women airbrushed on the side." "Thing was bad ass." "So the principal calls me up in the office and she says:" "Your brother can't drop you off at school anymore in that van it's obscene." "I was like why you talkin' to me he's the one who drives it." "Right." "Sheriff rolls up on him he's like:" "Jim you can't take your brother to school anymore in that van, teachers are gettin' upset." "Your old man, straight as an arrow looks at him and says:" "Well I'll guess I'll see you in the mornin'." "What do you mean I don't understand?" "He's like welp, that's what the fuck I drive so if you want him to be at school in the morning that's how he's gonna get there." "Your old man was a funny bastard I'll tell ya that." "Ya know it's been..." "Good having' Lauren back." "Ya know and since she's been back," "It's opened my eyes to a few things about..." "I just wanna say that I'm gonna make all this up to you guys I'm, I'm gonna... make sure that things change for the better around here." "And I promise you that." "Cool." "Alright kid welp, Ima hit the hay." "You get some rest." "There he is." "Lettin' her dance it off?" "Yeah yeah we'll give her five more minutes." "Hey, I saw you in the paper and shit." "Rick, whiskey!" "Hey, man that's cool that find your sister and all." "Damn shame what they did to her." "The hell are you talkin' about?" "Bob, mind your own business." "There's a lot of weirdos out there." "I watch them unsolved mysteries and shit all the time." "Pretty little girls." "Gettin' raped having' babies for these nasty motherfuckers, locked in basements and shit." "Who knows that's all I'm sayin'." "Why don't ya finish your drink and get the hell out of here." "What?" "I ain't sayin' nothin' that ain't true or anybody else in this goddamn town ain't talkin' about." "I don't care!" "I don't care!" "Go!" "Well am I right or not?" "Well why don't we ask?" "You think your little sister, was somewhere out there with that dude letting' him..." "Made ya something." "Pip, what kind of name is Pip anyways?" "You know any Pips?" "Mother by adoption, retorted Estella, never departing from the easy grace of her attitude, never raising her voice as the others did, never yielding either to anger or tenderness." "Mother by adoption I have said that I owe everything to you." "All I posses is freely yours, all that you have given me is your command to have again;" "beyond that, I have nothing." "And if you ask me to give you what you never gave me my gratitude and my duty cannot do impossibilities." "Did I never give her love?" "Cried Mrs. Hashim." "Domino motherfucker." "You know you" "Whoa, no cheatin' man come on." "Brewski?" "Naw I'm good Marcus." "You sure?" "Busted Bobby Miller's head open pretty good." "Yeah?" "How bad?" "Five stitches, a migraine and, well a little loss of pride..." "I went down there and talked to him myself... shed a little light on what you Daly's have been going through." "So why you really here, Cloud?" "I think it's time I talk to Lauren." "Hi Lauren, my name is Jeffrey Cloud." "I'm an old, old friend of your family." "You remind me so much of my little sister, Anna..." "She was a spitting image of you when she was younger." "Anna and I were born in Pennslyvania," "But when we were very, very young, we moved to Indiana to live with our grandparents." "Now our Grandparents lived way out in the country, they had all sorts of land." "One day, Anna and I were running through the woods..." "We were having so much fun that we lost track of time... and before we knew it, we were lost." "And I looked over at Anna, and I could see that she was scared." "But she grabbed my hand..." "and together we walked." "And it grew darker, it grew colder... and all the noises in the forest grow louder and louder... but we just kept walking and eventually we made our way home." "When we got inside we were so cold that our Grandparents wrapped us in blankets." "And I looked over at her... and I was so proud." "She was such a brave girl." "Now Lauren, I want you to tell me a story... and I want you to take your mom's hand... and I want ya to be brave like Anna." "Think ya can do that for me?" "I want you to think really hard... and I want you to remember that day, long, long time ago..." "The day you left the beach without your family." "There was a man who got into the car that day." "A man who was not your father, and he was not your brother, and he drove off with you." "Do you remember who that man was?" "Do you remember where you went that day?" "Lauren I need you to keep being brave for me." "I need you to help me." "I need you to help me protect other little girls that can be taken away from their families." "Girls like my Anna." "It is very important for me to find this man." "What is his name?" "Lauren I know you know how to speak." "But do you understand what happened to you?" "And I mean what really happened to you." "Do you want those type of things to happen to other girls?" "Lauren I do not have the time" "Tommy!" "nor the patience to sit around and wait for you to be ready!" "That's enough!" "I need to know now!" "And I need to know who he is and where he's from!" "Lauren you know who this man is!" "You know who this man is!" "He took you away from your family!" "Away from those that love you!" "He took away your childhood!" "He took away your goddamn innocence!" "Now why are you protecting this man?" "When he did not protect you?" "To protect myself." "Lauren!" "Lauren!" "Lauren!" "Lauren stop!" "Lauren!" "Lauren look at me." "No!" "Look at me Lauren, look at me." "Lauren!" "Look at me!" "So, what can I getcha ya guy?" "I was wondering if Samantha was working today?" "You mean Sara?" "Yeah." "Hell she's on break." "She may be in the ladies room now though." "Hey!" "You ain't allowed to be goin' in there!" "I know that!" "That's fuckin' weird." "Hi." "Hi." "Sup?" "I don't know." "You're being weird." "Yeah?" "Yeah." "I'm sorry..." "I'm sorry." "My God, that was unprofessional." "You're turning into quite the customer" "Shit." "You remember when I was here the other day?" "Yeah you never said goodbye." "I thought I saw my friend." "He looked different so I didn't wanna weird him out or anything bum rushing' him." "Yeah, what he look like?" "Ya know big brown sunglasses about fifty, kinda skinny." "Drives a white truck." "Yeah, right yeah." "You know him?" "I think his name's Dave or Dale or something, he's a trucker so he comes in and out, I don't always see him." "You know anything about him?" "I know he's a creeper." "What do you mean creeper?" "Ya know comes in stares at girls." "I mean any guy who comes out of the highways gonna be a creeper." "Hell you're probably a creeper too." "Never likes any girls his own age though... he does stare at my ass, can't complain about that." "Sure ya can." "Thanks a lot, Samantha." "It's Sara!" "Asshole." "Hey." "Hey, hi." "Hey, I know you!" "You're the girl from the paper right?" "Let's go Laur, come on." "Well ya know hey I didn't mean anything by it." "Goddamn." "I've let you have extra time." "I understand it's difficult to not get attached to people you spend so much time with." "I've been there." "By trying to protect them, you cause more harm in the long run." "I need to know now, Alison..." "Is the mother still drinking?" "Hey." "What's going on boys?" "Hey, guys check it out." "It's a mini fridge." "When I was your age I used to have one of these in my room, and I thought it was pretty cool." "Of course then again mine was full of beer." "Or healthy things like... banana juice." "You like it?" "You're welcome." "Do you have any fours?" "No?" "Go fish." "Ok." "Your turn." "You get that for me?" "No, it's probably Marcus." "Go get the door." "Noah!" "Ok!" "Don't look seriously, actually I'm taking these." "Yeah?" "Ok." "Would you be Noah Daly?" "That's right." "I'm Virgil Weaver." "This is Brenda Miller from Child Protective Services and Officer Kern." "You mind if we come in?" "Is there anything I can help you with?" "We have a warrant for the premise to check on the welfare of a Lauren Daly." "Hi, Lauren." "My name is Brenda, we're just here on a routine check to make sure your comfortable honey." "Can you show me your room please?" "Go ahead Laur." "I thought you guys gave notification or something." "There were some red flags on the report on Lauren which we have to check out." "It's policy." "Where's Mrs. Daly?" "She's at work." "When do you expect her back?" "She's been working overtime a lot and..." "Hey, Noah you didn't tell me we had folks visiting." "Can I get ya'll something' to drink?" "No, thanks, Mrs. Daly." "I'm Virgil Weaver with Child Protective Services." "Hi." "How much have you had to drink today?" "Nothin'." "Well then if it's ok with you" "I'm gonna ask Officer Kern to check your room for signs of alcohol." "If we don't have any problems we'll be out of your hair in no time." "I love the yellow walls Lauren and your own fridge?" "Lucky girl." "You trust me right?" "Do you know what, these are just so old and they're goin' in the garbage." "Unfortunately that's not how it works." "Mrs. Daly, as custodian of this minor child Lauren Daly, you're not maintaining a proper household according to standards we're gonna have to remove her from the home for the time being." "First she'll go to a hospital then she's gonna end up in a temporary foster home." "You can reach her rep there." "I won't let them take you." "Come on, Laur..." "Officer!" "They can't take you." "Please don't, please no no no please please don't take her!" "You trust me right?" "You trust me?" "Ok, I'm sorry." "You get outta here!" "Noah!" "Go." "Please let me explain, Noah..." "No you need to go!" "Go, go!" "Let me explain!" "And what are you doing, Ma?" "What am I doing?" "What are you doing?" "You have this little girl who can never seem to find her way home." "Ok, the first time that was a tragedy but this time it's your fuckin' fault!" "Hey, hey new girl." "Why are you sleeping on the floor?" "I'm Julie." "Why you here?" "You're funny." "I been living with Peggy for a year now, I like it." "Goodnight new girl." "Hey, baby." "Hey, mom." "I... put a pot of chili on... well it came from the can but." "You got one of those for me?" "You know how to smoke?" "These things... they taste like shit." "Dad didn't like em' much." "He would have been proud of you." "Maybe." "No really, no maybe about it." "He would have been ashamed of me, but proud of you." "Everyone has choices, mom..." "And he made his." "Man's got his own reasons." "You know I love you mom, right?" "I sure do, son." "You know I love you too, right?" "Yeah." "Good." "I think you just come in here all the time just to see me." "You know it sugar." "Jackie you're the best." "Thank you!" "You're welcome." "See you next wednesday." "Hi." "Can I help you?" "Yeah I'm here to see..." "You're Noah, Lauren's older brother." "Yes ma'am." "You're not supposed to be here." "I know." "You look like your mom." "I knew her in school, pretty girl." "We didn't hang out much but we had some mutual friends." "I hear the bottles gettin' the best of her though." "Yeah she's in she's in a six month now so." "Good." "God bless her." "It's tough to kick." "I did it myself." "Well I'll tell her you said hello." "You do that." "I can't let ya in the house." "But..." "If ya have a seat over there, I'll bring her out to ya." "Thank you." "Hey." "How are you?" "Peggy seems nice, she's a nice lady." "I'm workin' on some stuff." "Mom, she's gettin' help." "You're just gonna have to give me a little time but..." "I'll bring ya home." "I brought some of your stuff from the house, just." "I..." "And I found this it's..." "It's really important to me." "I wanted you to have it though." "I'll just leave this." "I love you." "Noah." "You're coming back right?" "Yeah." "Hey, heard anymore about the Daly case?" "Still working on it buddy." "Still working on it man." "Hey speaking of still workin' on." "The IT guys called this morning, they say you been looking up registered sex offenders online?" "Do you have a 2?" "Go fish." "Do you have a king?" "Go fish." "Do you have a 2?" "Go fish." "Do you have a 7?" "Go fish." "That's the best one yet guys great job." "Smile for the camera?" "Lauren sweetie, I think you're the most beautiful lady in the kingdom." "I think you should be queen." "Thanks, dad." "Say goodbye, guys!" "Hey." "Hey." "Can I come in?" "Sure." "Look, Noah..." "I'm really sorry about..." "I am too." "There's something that I need to show you." "Fuck!" "It's her diary." "Fucking Tommy." "Alison look at this." "Today I was hungry," "I stole food just like Pip has to in the story." "I am starting to read with better speed and understanding." "I have read every book in my dad's house." "He has a lot and brings many more home for me, it is his way of raising me by hand." "I plead with him to travel, but he told me that I'm not allowed to do so." "Last time I spoke to him about it he got upset and struck me with great force in the face." "I bled a lot, I always see blood when he is unhappy." "That's how I know when he doesn't favor me." "But that's ok." "For Pip doesn't have parents at least I have one." "I do fear him though, as sometimes he displays love, other times he displays hate." "So I admit I get confused." "One day I shall run outside like Pip, far far away, maybe even to London." "Hold on, hold this, I'll be right back." "Where's Tommy?" "Tommy!" "What you doing, Cloud?" "Where's the gun?" "Where's he keep the fucking gun?" "It's not here." "I think he found Lauren's kidnapper." "What?" "He's about to do something stupid!" "Today I was not in favor of my father, as I feel pain on my body and my heart." "He hovered above me, his shadow blocking my light and forced himself on me as one would do with their wife." "S.O. need units to respond to 447 County Road 3 in reference to an armed subject possibly in route to that address, be advised the subject is a former police officer." "Over and over and over and over I screamed..." "Please stop..." "I tried to scream but my voice made no sound..." "Over and over and over and over again." "The only end of this life seems death I thought." "Such a horrible thought to think of." "Please go far, far from here at this time father, and never return to this land." "What the hell?" "You're a hard man to find." "Who are you?" "Fucker!" "Cloud?" "Drop the weapon!" "I wanna see your hands!" "Drop the hammer, put it down!" "I wanna see your hands!" "Drop it!" "Hold your fire!" "It doesn't have to end like this, Tommy!" "Let's be smart here." "Put the hammer down." "Look at me Tom." "Drop the hammer." "Come on Tom." "Let me take you in." "Ima put my gun away." "Tom, it's ok man." "Let's go." "Gun!" "Dispatch this is unit 37, shots fired, need an ambulance at the scene." "Clear!" "It's been like a dream having you back Lauren..." "Just one of those you don't wanna wake up from." "With you we were a family and... after, we just crumbled." "I cannot imagine what it was like for you all those years with that monster." "Your light held this family together and when he took you, well I just think he took a piece from all of us." "But I have learned that who we are in this life, it doesn't matter about the tragedies we go through, but it is how we respond that makes our souls." "I'm sick Lauren, it's just the way things are." "I don't have much time and I don't want you to cry for me but," "I want you to know that, seein' you, knowing that you're here safe..." "It's all that I ever wanted in this life." "And just know that I'll always be there." "Long live the queen." "If you think I should wait till next fall to go to Oxford I can." "That's what he left you the money for." "I know but..." "I don't want to leave you here and everybody." "Do what you wanna do, it's your choice." "I wonder what he would say right now." "I don't know." "I just miss him I guess." "Me too." "Me too." "Yeah we're good." "So you gonna come visit us soon?" "Ok." "Alright I love you too." "Bye." "Hey, Noah?" "Noah?" "Hey, bud!" "Mama's been calling for you." "You wanna go get washed up for dinner?" "Let's go, come on." "Hi, Perry." "You remember this?" "I don't know what that is." "You don't?" "Great Expectations?" "Who the hell do you think you are?" "Sir place your hands behind your back." "Leave me alone!" "Leave me alone!" "In a court of law, you have the right to a attorney..." "Have you questioned her?" "Who is she?"
