"I had it turned off." "Yeah, I figured that out." "God, what's your problem?" "I needed some time to think." "My problem starts with finding Kendall in your shower." "Kendall?"

"Just remember me when" "We used to be friends" "A long time ago" "We used to be friends" "Number five, step forward." "What was that all about?" "You were picked out of the lineup by a merchant from the L.A. Jewelry district." "Oh." "What do you mean, oh?" "I was expecting shock and indignation." "Yeah, I know what they must be thinking." "The witness claims you sold him some 5-karat diamond earrings for $80,000, earrings that belonged to Celeste Kane." "The sheriff thinks you're an accomplice and that you helped Duncan plan and finance this kidnapping." "That's a lot of thinking for Lamb." "He may tire himself out." "This is not a joke." "This is kidnapping." "What Duncan's done is wrong, and if you've helped him in any way, you're going to prison." "Now, straighten up." "I did sell the earrings, Duncan asked me to, but not to finance a kidnapping." "We had a plan." "A plan?" "A plan to get custody of the baby... legally." "Duncan wanted to hire a lawyer, but he needed money." "Did you know the earrings were Celeste's?" "I didn't ask." "Veronica." "I figured they were, but his parents didn't want Duncan adopting." "Celeste isn't quite ready to be a grandmother." "Veronica, listen to me clearly." "You're gonna cooperate with Lamb." "You're gonna answer every question he asks, truthfully." "And when Duncan Kane is found, and he will be found, there's gonna be no doubt whose side you were on in all this." "Understood?" "Here's Veronica for you." "Hey, Veronica, what's the haps?" "Oh, you know, I didn't think there'd be air conditioning, but... other than that, this is pretty much how I pictured hell." "She knows where my son is, sheriff." "I guarantee it." "If she doesn't cooperate fully," "I want her prosecuted for her involvement in the theft of my jewelry." "What are you doing here?" "Big case, missing person." "So, where do you got him stashed?" "All right, enough." "I'll ask the questions." "You're only here as a guest of mrs." "Kane." "Mrs. Kane, a word of advice... private investigators... just make the work of law enforcement officers more difficult." "Save your money." "We'll find Duncan." "We'll bring him in safely." "It's kind of weird, huh ?" "Hoping Lamb is competent rather than betting he's not?" "Keep me posted on any developments." "I find comfort in knowing the child isn't yours." "Let's hope she's got your smile." "Mr. Vanlowe." "Sit." "Write down everything you can think of." "You know what I'm looking for -- fake I.Ds, secret credit cards, hiding spots, favorite restaurants, anyone who might let him borrow a car or a vacation home." "Let me ask you a question."

"I'm waiting for you, V-dog." "What for?" "I thought maybe you'd tell me where you're keeping Duncan, save us all some time, you know, earn some karma points." "I have no idea where he is, and if I did, you would be the... last person I'd tell." "Am I hearing you right?" "Because you'd tell Osama Bin Laden before you'd tell me?" "Because back in my day, we had a little thing called patriotism." "Hold on." "Hold on." "Hold on." "It's a negotiation, right?" "Okay, let's say I sweeten the pot." "Let's make it... $5,000." "The karma points are yours to keep, and if you act now, I'll throw in a free set of steak knives." "I don't know where he is." "All right, say no more." "I gave it a shot."

"Wallace lied." "He didn't come back to Neptune to play basketball." "By the looks of this, he was having a dream season in Chicago." "Hey, what's the word?" "The one they call bootsy told me no and went on to suggest I perform sexual intercourse upon my own person." "Doesn't he understand?" "If you could do that, you'd never come to school." "Boy, that's the truth." "Then Hector?" " Sold me 10 hits of "E"" " Mint?" "I gave you enough cash for 20." "He gave me the 09er discount, charged me double." "And you paid it?" "What's time to a hog?" "Off me, boy." "If he came to the border, sheriff, it was probably before anyone knew the baby was missing." "We'd like to consider scaling the searches back." "You know, I don't think he's left town yet." "It's really a zoo down here." "If you could see it..." "I understand perfectly what this is doing at the border crossing." "Let me give it some thoughts." "I'd appreciate if you would, sheriff." "We could really use some relief." "Listen, I'm gonna check it out." "We've got the feds coming in." "Maybe we'll call off the dogs." "You've got company." "Not now." "It's the FBI." "I'm gonna have to get back to you." " I'd appreciate if you would, sheriff." " Yes." "Bye." "Send them in." "Right in here." "Sheriff?" "Oh." "Agent Morris." "Agent Wills." "Sheriff Don Lamb." "Take yourselves a seat." "Thank you." "Now, sheriff, I think we should make it clear right from the get-go that we are here to get that baby back, and we are willing to combine our resources..." "I'll share anything that you need until such time as you piss us off." "And when that time comes... and it usually comes quickly in Sleepyburg or..."

"So, why don't you get us up to speed with what you've been doing here." "Is the sheriff around?" "He's in with the FBI." "You're Veronica Mars, aren't you?" "That's me." "I'm supposed to keep an eye on you." "Great." "You ever hit the clubs in L.A., Veronica?" "I'm 18." "Yeah, show me a club that'll care." "I moonlight over at club thin." "Club thin?" "I'm a bouncer." "Well I didn't think you were a cage dancer." "The reason why I ask -- you come up, I'll get you in." "Okay." "Cool." "Yes?" "Sheriff, Veronica Mars is looking for you." "She says she has something you might be interested in." "Mars?" "You mean the girlfriend?" "Put her in interrogation." "Ex-girlfriend, ugly breakup, from what I heard." "Before we go in there, you should probably know something about Veronica Mars." "We need to be careful with this one." "She's slippery." "Sheriff, we have interrogated Al Qaeda members at Gitmo." "I think we can handle a teenage girl." "Nick and Jessica." "Is nothing sacred?" "Whoa, Agent Wills, call for backup." " Just the chopper?" " Snipers." "What is it, Veronica?" "Who are the suits?" "Agent Morris, agent Wills they're with the FBI." "What do you got?" "Duncan may have taken his computer, but he had a .Mac account." "He used it to back up his laptop." "What's a .Mac?" "Online storage." "Users can back up their files or... synchronize their computers, calendars, addresses." "Browser bookmarks." "It wasn't on your list?" "I just thought of it, and I came straight here." "I can get a warrant so we can search it." "Yeah, get the computer boys to break the password." "Sheriff, border patrol on line one." "Border patrol?" "Don't bother." "Duncan hates Mexico." "Is that so, brer rabbit?" "Yeah, this is Lamb." "No, don't back off those searches at all." "No, not at all." "Veronica, why don't you wait outside in the hall?" "Why don't you?" "Your next option is a cell." "We'll take a coffee when you get a minute." " Sacks, two coffees." " What?" "So... the FBI." "I've thought about it, you know?" "But big fish, small town has its perks." "Still, who knows?" "I still might apply." "You go to college?" "For a year." "Blew out a knee at southwest Texas playing ball." "Speak a foreign language?" "A little mexican, enough to get by." "I tell them to turn their music down." "Any expertise in computer science, law, physics, chemistry, forensics, mathematics?" "Expertise?" "Small town, big fish..." "You know, I'd ride with that." "I don't know what you're talking about, Weevil." "I'm not in business with the Fitzpatricks." "I know you're lying, Hector." "I know you sold "E" to an 09er just today." "That?" "Yeah, that." "You did it, didn't you?" "Yeah, but I didn't get it from the Fitzpatricks." "Some white boy asked me to get him some." "He looked dumb and desperate, so I said I'd get it for him at $40 a hit." "He said yeah, so..." "So what?" "So I got it from this other white boy who I know deals." "He's lying." "What white boy?" "What was so wrong?" "I made a few bucks selling from one 09er to another." "Come on." "Like you know an 09er drug dealer?" "Who was it?" "My sister works with his dad." "I want a name." "Veronica, they got into the files." "They need you." "That was quick." "Two hours for the search warrant, 10 minutes to break his password." "What was it?" "Enak gem." "What?" "What's she gonna do with it?" "Enak gem?" ""Meg Kane" backwards." "Miss Mars, what can you tell us about Duncan Kane's sailing ability?" "Duncan's been sailing his whole life." "Why?" "Duncan bookmarked a boat for sail." "We tracked down the seller." "Turns out he sold it last week to a teenage boy who paid cash." "I assume that's a generous use of the term "we"?" "I got a hundred bucks says he's heading south." "What do you think Veronica?" "Want to put your money where your mouth is?" "How much does your boyfriend hate mexico, huh?" "Isn't gambling illegal?" "That's what I thought." "It's the coast guard." "They spotted the boat." "It's ignoring their warning calls." "They're preparing to board." "That kid's gonna get himself killed." "Put it on the speaker." "There's no one on deck." "Our men are checking down below." "Anything?" "We're all clear." "No one on board." "But we have found dirty diapers and 12 empty cans of spaghettios." "What about history of mental issues?" "Any chance that he just said," ""goodbye, cruel world"?" "Duncan didn't kill himself, and he didn't kill his baby." "Somebody picked him up." "He's still on the run." "Morning, Sam." "Morning, Ralph." "Fritter?" "You should be out looking for Duncan." "Oh, right!" "Duncan Kane." "I got so swept up in your beauty, I almost forgot my assignment." "If you do find him and he gives you any trouble, will you give him this?" "Will do." "Oh, how the mighty have fallen." "Do you remember last year when you looked down on me like you were so much better?" "Yeah." "Did you get the impression something has changed?" "Well, yeah." "It seems both our families are in the domestic staffing industry." "That makes us like family." "I steal cars." "You sell drugs." "Hey, I can hardly tell where you end and I begin." "I get it." "What can I get you?" "A little crank, some blow?" "Just tell me the name of your supplier." "Yeah, that's not happening." "Is it the Fitzpatricks?" "The Fitzpatricks?" "They take a blowtorch to you if you're short a dime bag." "I'm not that dumb." "Am I free to go?" "Have a nice day." "You believe him?" "Don't you?" "One of my boys is mixed up with the Fitzpatricks." "I know it." "Has it crossed your mind that maybe the one mixed up with the Fitzpatricks is the one that's already dead?" "You remember when Karen and Patrick Fitzpatrick still went to school here back when we were freshman?" "They were like seventh-year seniors." "The only reason they stuck around was to keep the high-school drug trade going." "As soon as this school got smart and expelled them, my predecessor... the reaper, gus." "Yes, the reaper, decided to expand our business." "A couple months in, he disappears like Jimmy Hoffa." "No one's seen him since." "You know why the reaper was called that?" "He lost a bet?" "His name..." "Gustavio Toombs." "He was Felix's big brother." "So, no, Felix wasn't working with the Fitzpatricks, no way in hell." "Gonna eat your cake?" "Take it." "I got a little present for you." "What is it?" "Just a little scrapbook I put together." "You were kicking butt in Chicago... 8 points, 11 assists a game?" "Undefeated?" "I wanted to tell you." "Why did you really come back, Wallace?" "If you read these stories, then you know my new teammate was Rashard Rucker." "Is that supposed to mean something?" "Yeah." "He's the best high school player in the nation, this year's Lebron James." "Just before christmas, me and Rashard, a couple of guys on the team, hit this house party." "Rashard had a few beers, but he said he was okay to drive." "On the way home, this wino staggered out in front of the car." "Oh, Wallace." "He hit him." "I was yelling for him to stop, but he panicked." "We drove to his uncle's." "His uncle's?" "He's Rashard's agent, manager, boss." "He said we probably hit a dog and we should just keep our mouths shut." ""Millions of dollars are at stake." But I couldn't just let it go." "I couldn't go to practice and just pretend it hadn't happened." "So, I thought if I came back here," "I could just forget about it." "You know, you could have told me." "No, I couldn't." "Why?" "Because you would've stayed." "You'd have done the right thing." "I'm embarrassed I didn't." "Hello?" "Veronica, it's me." "Duncan, what are you doing?" "Where are you?" "You got to turn yourself in." "Where I am isn't important." "I'm doing the right thing." "No, you're not." "You need to turn yourself in." "You're not ready to raise that baby." "We'll win in court." "There's no way I'll ever..." "No, don't hang up." "Tell me where you are." "You know what the Mannings..." "Duncan, you're gonna get yourself thrown in prison." "They think I helped you." "You got it?" "He's up in big bear." "Just give me five minutes." "I'll have it down to a building." "We can be there in two hours." "Sheriff, we appreciate your time, your effort, and your cooperation, but we got it." "It's time." "Duncan, she's beautiful." "I know." "We're doing the right thing." "I think so." "You ready to travel?" "Ready for a big trip?" "The FBI is heading up to Big Bear." "We got to move." "Kendall?" "Everyone bought it, including her." "The boat?" "The same." "Everything's in motion." "We got to go now, or things are gonna fall apart." "Veronica, slow down one minute." "After we leave this room, we can't call each other, e-mail each other, see each other..." "Stop." "Goodbye, Veronica." "I love you." "Always have, always will." "You better." "Sheriff." "Yeah?" "We got a hit on Veronica's ATM card." "Where?" "Mexico, a hotel near Jacumba." "It's big with american surfers." "I told them, didn't I?" "Everything out of that girl's mouth is a lie." "Let's see how the FBI likes it when this high-school-educated local lawman brings back the prize." "It's veronica." "Leave a message." "Veronica..." "Hey, I need to see you at home A.S.A.P., Kiddo." "We need a little daddy-daughter time." "He knows you can shoot, just like I know you can shoot." "Wallace fennel?" "Yeah." "Ernie sayers, chicago statesman." "I was hoping to ask you a few questions." "The night of december 14th, a homeless man was the victim of a hit-and-run." "You mind?" "That man is paralyzed from the waist down." "Now, a convenience-store clerk who was locking up says that the car that hit him was a red hummer with 22-inch spinning rims." "Do you know how many of those there are in Chicago?" "Less than you'd think." "I talked to some kids from your old school." "They said that you, Rashard Rucker, and a couple of teammates left a house party around 2:00 A.M. that night." "So, what's the question?" "I guess the question is, what kind of man were you planning on being?"
