"Don't, please." "Don't." "(LAUGHING)" "Hey, is that a Rolls-Royce there?" "Silver Shadow." "Yes, sir." "Got a problem with the idle." "I'm adjusting the linkage." "You know cars?" "I appreciate people who do." "You from Texas, huh?" "Whereabouts?" "Good ear, man." "Copeville." "Just outside of Dallas." "You been to Texas?" "CHARLIE:" "I've been everywhere." "Let me guess." "Football player." "Yeah, two-year honorable mention, all-district running back." "You know anything about guns?" "Sure." "Me and my Daddy used to go..." "What about motorcycles?" "You like motorcycles?" "Um..." "I'm kind of more of a truck guy." "I guess I could probably fix up a hog if it came down to it." "It won't." "What's your name, friend?" "Charles Watson." "Yeah, that don't work." "I'ma call you Tex." "(CHUCKLES) All right, then." "Morning." "Hey." "How's it going?" "I got this Jane Doe body in Canoga Park that looks like my missing picture girl, but isn't, and the Canoga Park sheriffs have told me to get bent." "And it seems like I should be able to leverage this Captain Welles thing with the Army to try to get Walt some rhythm somehow, but I haven't been able to figure out how exactly yet." "You sorry you asked?" "Because I could go on." "Leverage it?" "We don't even know what "it" is yet." "That's the best time to strong-arm somebody." "Before they know what they're dealing with." "And don't worry." "Whatever I decide to do, I will leave you out of it." "You don't have to worry about me." "Look at you, all cute and irrationally confident, and very close to the milk, which I forgot." "Can you grab that?" "(CLEARS THROAT)" "That better not be what it looks like." "I said, "Anyone delivers anything for me, you grab them."" "Didn't I say that, you sweaty-necked jackass?" "There wasn't anyone to grab, sir." "Lindenoff found it on the stoop out front." "Oh." "We thought that maybe whoever it was that left it, left it on purpose" "so we wouldn't get a look at them." "Oh, you did, did you?" "Well, did you think that maybe I could have pulled some prints off of this before you and Lindenoff put your big hams all over it?" "No one ever talks about how exhausting it is to be right all the time." "You know that?" "What are you still doing here?" "I don't get it." "Go to your room." "Go." "Yes." "Yes, sir." "Which girl is this, the first one or the second one?" "SAM:" "Neither." "This one's brand new." "(INDISTINCT CHATTER)" "(INDISTINCT CHATTER) -(LAUGHTER)" "Hey, you Charlie?" "Little Emma told me to come introduce myself." "I'm Dennis." "(CHUCKLES)" "What, are you gonna hurt me or something?" "I look like I'm going to?" "I know you've done some hard time." "The girls told me, man, because I was saying about all the posers that I've met." "You know, lying to impress you how hard they are." "But you don't have to impress anybody, do you?" "I am everyone and everyone is me." "(LAUGHING)" "Now you're saying something, man, and I'm hearing you." "I was about to go have some cookies and milk." "You want to get in on that?" "Like, chocolate chip and stuff?" "(LAUGHS) Yeah, like chocolate chip." "Oatmeal." "Coconut." "Oh, and raw milk, man." "You see, raw milk's a golden food, right?" "So all that good bacteria and the enzymes, it stays in." "It'll keep you well." "It'll give you teeth like a lion's." "Right." "What about the cookies?" "What'll they do for me?" "Those'll keep you fat and happy, brother." "Come on." "Oh, you can leave that here." "I mean, if you want to." "Just make yourself at home, man." "Any kind of envelope, anything at all, shows up at any precinct with my name on it, they need to call me." "If they see who delivers it and let that person get away, they need to kick their own ass and call me." "You don't have to put that last part in." "Unless there's room." "Did you want this as a directed message or a broadcast bulletin?" "Broadcast bulletin." "Local, just department citywide, or local and county sheriffs, too?" "Surprise me." "Missing Persons says your new picture girl's been gone nine days." "A Donna Healy." "She's got a kid, too." "Was supposed to pick him up from her husband, but she never showed." "SAM:" "Pick him up from her husband?" "Yeah, they're separated, or he says "estranged."" "What's the damn difference?" "Separated, you live apart." "Estranged, you hate each other, and the lawyers are more expensive on account of the $10 words." "I'm estranged." "Right." "Is there anything else you need me to do for you right now?" "Yeah, investigate why you never use napkins." "I'll get a team on that right away." "And Tina knew her from where?" "School, right?" "Tennis." "Right." "I got it." "I got it." "Thank you, ma'am." "You keep thinking, too, and maybe you'll remember Tina mentioning Donna Healy." "Okay." "Thank you." "Bye-bye." "Who's that?" "Tina Greenwood's mother." "Been trying to see if Tina and the second picture girl are connected at all." "I got a lot of phone calls to make." "Well, you need a hand?" "No." "I'm fine." "I love making calls." "I can't get enough of it, really." "Okay." "Well..." "Uh, uh, uh..." "Sit down." "Did Tina ever mention to you the name Donna Healy?" "Would you know if Donna Healy came to church there at all?" "She didn't go to Vineland High, she went to East Poly." "No, I'm wondering if you remember a woman named Donna Healy on, uh..." "On any of the other tennis teams?" "Well, if you do happen to remember meeting Donna, could you call Hollywood Division?" "Yes." "Ask for Hodiak." "H-O-D-I-A-K." "Yes, Hodiak." "What?" "(CHUCKLES) Is it Jewish?" "Uh, it's Ukrainian, ma'am." "This is all very sad." "It is." "But thank you for your time." "We do appreciate it." "Thank you." "Could Tina have babysat for Donna's kid, maybe?" "Uh, it's a good thought, but apparently the in-laws did all the babysitting." "Mmm, lucky Donna." "I mean, speaking as young with a kid, 17 is young to have a kid." "Yeah." "What are you gonna do?" "You meet in high school." "You fall in love." "Although they didn't go to the same high school." "Donna went to East Poly High, and the husband went to..." "Not East Poly High." "He went to Vineland." "Tina Greenwood went to Vineland." "Hold on." "The first girl went to the same high school as the second girl's estranged husband." "You just won a chance to make fresh coffee." "Oh, what's that face?" "You're a lucky man." "You get to open the books and promote another Medal of Valor winner into the ranks of detective." "We got open slots, right?" "Yeah, but who are you talking about?" "(SCOFFS) Shaggy Nellie?" "It's hilarious." "Well, I got one for you." "Blind man walks into a bar with his seeing-eye dog." "Grabs the dog by the hind legs, starts swinging it around in a circle." "Bartender says..." "BOTH:" "Don't mind me." "I'm just looking around." "I told you that joke." "Killjoy." "Where's this coming from anyway?" "It's coming from the kid." "He works like a dog and he's got great instincts." "Jeannie wants to know when you're coming over for dinner." "Gee, not anytime soon." "Which is exactly when that hippie flit makes detective." "Oh, excuse me." "I got to..." "It's your mom." "I did warn you." "Just ice it." "It'll be fine." "SAM:" "Tell my mom hello, you moron."

"But, uh, we checked the three buildings, down that way." "Can't find her?" "We narrowed it down to this end of the street." "These two buildings here on the corner, 521 and 526, but that's it." "Just a girl screaming she's dying, but nobody can say from where." "Windwasblowing prettyhardearlier, blowinghervoicearound." "Peopledidn'tevenknow ifshewasoutsideorinside." "All right." "521 and both alleys are clear, Detective." "Okay." "How many guys you got?" "Six?" "Total, yeah." "But we got one posted in each lobby to keep things on lockdown." "Good thinking." "Well, send two across the street." "Start canvassing there." "Call for more, and then you and him come back and help me finish searching these two floors." "All right?" "There." "Got you." "We got you." "(CRYING) Should've just let him do it..." "Okay." "Did you see him?" "Can you tell me?" "Honey, can you tell me what he looked like?" "That's okay." "You'll remember later."

"Hazel." "(CHUCKLES) Hazel." "You didn't save your money, I see." "Listen." "I heard her." "I heard her." "Mmm-hmm." "She was screaming." "She said he was stabbing her." "Uh-huh." "I called the police, but I couldn't get through." "High volume of calls, apparently." "He never came out, and I watched, even after the cops got here." "I wanted to get a description of him for you." "That's okay." "Well, might he have gone out the back door?" "The back exit's in the boiler room, and it's chained closed." "Too many burglaries." "Nobody can get out of there." "If there's a fire in here, we're all dead, and I'd rather be dead than have to buy another television." "Okay, so, you didn't see him go out the front door, and he didn't go out the back exit, and then we showed up and posted unis in the lobby." "Unless he walked right by you." "Which he didn't." "He could still be in the building." "Thank you, Hazel." "SAM:" "Hey, Mr. Plaza, I got your keys." "(PLAZA CLEARS THROAT)" "PLAZA:" "Did you find the guy, Detective?" "Not in apartment 2F, anyway." "Thank you for these." "So, 2F." "That's Mr. Lamb?" "Ian Lamb, right?" "Yeah." "When was the last time you saw him?" "Uh, a few days ago, maybe." "He's not around much." "He works a lot." "Okay." "Well, we're not gonna get out of your hair just yet, Mr. Plaza." "We've got to canvass the whole building again, we've got to check for strange visitors, overnight guests, apparitions in the hallways." "Yeah, I never thought that screaming was coming from our roof." "Marisa was such a sweet girl." "To think about that happening to her... (STUTTERS)" "I got four kids, you know?" "Daughters." "And it just makes me never want to take my eyes off of them again, you know?" "You got daughters?" "A son, actually." "Well, but still, with what you see in your work, you must be afraid for him sometimes." "I'm afraid for him all the time." "Can you unchain that fire door, please?" "Yeah." "Thank you." "Is this your house?" "My goodness!" "It's delightful." "Cram it, all right?" "What are you doing here, Sam?" "You following me?" "Yeah." "It's called tit for tat." "You're the tit." "That's funny." "It really is." "I think so." "That's really funny." "(BOTH CHUCKLING)" "Good." "Because I worry that my sense of humor suffers when I get tired from all the actual real police work that I do." "Let me ask you something." "Do you just sit around, thinking about ways to make things worse for yourself?" "To get yourself into an even deeper pile?" "Hell no." "Just comes to me." "Honey?" "What's going on?" "I thought I heard your car, but then you didn't..." "Is that..." "Oh, my goodness." "Sam?" "Lillian?" "(CHUCKLES) This is crazy." "We were just talking about him."

"Thank you so much." "(ENGINE STARTS)" "Then I do sign-in, take the kids' names and addresses and ages, so we have a record of what kind of numbers we're working with." "Why is it in a church?" "Why not a Panther Party headquarters or something?" "The church is a non-profit organization, so we give tax exemptions if people wanna donate things." "It's "we" now, huh?" "Well, the Panthers want to raise consciousness in the community." "It needs raising, and kids are a great place to start." "They need to see people not in their family working for them, motivated by love for them." "So, yes, we." "Okay, baby." "If you think it'll change anything." "It already has."

"How'd you know?" "Well, I am you, and I'm also always hungry, so... (CHUCKLES)" "Hmm." "What do you think of this whole scene?" "You guys digging it?" "It's a church of greenery and scenery." "Down there, it's just all smog and banks and insurance and Teflon plastic fear." "There's six million freeways, and they can't even see where the road starts." "I like that." "Mmm-mmm. (CHUCKLES)" "I don't know about that, though." "What don't you know, huh?" "How aware you're not?" "I guess so, yeah." "Never done it." "He who's last shall be first." "You're seeing the world through a dirty window." "Don't you know that?" "I used to live up on Laurel, and one time, my neighbors brought home some rosewood seeds from Hawaii." ""Make the doors fly open in your mind," they said, but I didn't recognize myself." "I always thought I was kind of happy, gentle, and this was me finding out I was wrong, me wanting to rip and bite and burn, and make the whole world go red."

"Manny, Emmanuel." "Had a lot of trouble around here last year with burglaries, vandalism, and..." "Anyway, Mr. P. threw Manny out." "Probably still knows his way back in, though, huh?" "Hey."

"Acne creams and ointments for Beechwood Pharmaceutical." "Hmm." "And you and Donna are estranged." "What estranged you two?" "She had started doing modeling." "Now, strictly speaking, I didn't mind most of it." "But when she got into the pin-up stuff, that was too much, and we argued about that a lot." "Well, what's the difference between that and stripping, really, right?" "And I asked her to stop." "She wouldn't." "Then, six months ago, I told her if she didn't stop taking the pin-up jobs, she could move out, and there she went." "She took your son." "I showed up while she was working one day and took him to my parents." "He's better off with them." "And one time after he'd been with her, there was a cigarette butt in his diaper." "If you had to hazard a guess as to where she was right now, where would you say your wife is?" "(SCOFFS)" "Went off with a man." "She would do that, and go this long without contacting you?" "You know, I wouldn't have thought so, but if you would've asked would she rather quit pin-up modeling or leave me," "I would've said she would've quit, so maybe I don't know her that well." "Who's Tina Greenwood?" "I don't know." "Who is she?" "You went to high school with her." "Sorry." "Vineland High is a big place." "Anyway, why do you ask?" "(DOOR OPENS)" "Yeah." "You have a light?" "Mmm." "So, what's going on?" "Oh, Hodi's got another case going, so he told me to come sit in here while he's busy." "Said you were stonewalling him anyway, so no rush, right?" "What else he say?" "Hodiak?" "Mmm-hmm." "He said your dad dropped the dime on you." "That true?" "Yeah." "(SCOFFS) Unbelievable." "What is?" "Just, someone doesn't want to have kids, then don't." "But if you do, be a man about it, you know?" "Yeah." "And I'll tell you something, if it made my dad's life any easier," "(SCOFFS) he would've turned me in at the drop of a hat for anything." "For the Lindbergh baby." "What's he saying you did, anyway?" "Stab some girl in his building." "Damn." "Uh-huh." "And, I mean, he got proof?" "I mean, were you even there?" "I don't live there anymore." "You know, he kicked me out." "He didn't care." "I didn't have nothing." "Hey, man, I had to enlist when my dad kicked me out." "That's how bad off I was."

"All I got are these damn pictures, and I can't shoot my wad on a hunch." "Yeah, well, Shafe's practically got your animal writing a how-to on killing that girl." "So then I came up in the elevator, and there she was in the lobby." "Uh!" "Now, this is the girl?" "Mmm-hmm." "Mmm." "She was beautiful, man." "Beautiful." "Legs to next week, just..." "Mmm!" "You know what I'm saying." "Anyway, so we start talking, and I tell her I'm the super's son, and she says she's Marisa." "We go up on the elevator to the fifth floor." "She unlocks her door, but she says, "My roommate's home,"" "so I say, "What about the roof?"" "Uh-huh!" "Thinking on your feet." "Okay." "I like it." "Okay, so we go up, and she's kissing me, you know, and she's got my hands on her, all over her, you know?" "Right." "Then she says, "Stop now, or I'll scream."" "After she was kissing you?" "Yeah." "Just two kids trying to have a good time." "Talking so loud, I had to show her my blade." "It was like being in a fight, not knowing how many punches you threw." "You know?" "So I went down to my dad's place, and he says he's gonna help me." "So he gives me a shower, hides me in the boiler room." "(BREATHES SHARPLY)" "And then he says he's gonna figure out what's what." "When I come out, he turns me in." "I don't know why I was expecting anything different." "You know what you should do?" "What's that?" "You should get your story on record." "All of it." "Right now, before he has a chance to change his." "You know, get you in deeper." "Right?" "What do you think?" "I think that girl was a slut." "You ready to bring him up into detective squad now, or what?" "Well, that depends." "You ready to step up and do what needs to be done?" "Are you seriously making this kid's promotion conditional on whether or not I come to dinner at your damn house?" "Is that even legal?" "You've met Jeannie." "You think I fear man's justice?"

"If you want some, there's dishes in there." "You can have the rest." "I made a pitcher of gin sours." "I love gin sours." "What the hell are you on, Cut?" "She thought you were bringing Opal." "Why would she think I was bringing Opal?" "I might have told her you two reconciled." "Uh-huh, and when did you tell her that you were mistaken?" "Uh..." "About noon." "And that's why we're not eating?" "Not that I'm complaining." "I told her you and Opal split for good, and suddenly she's got bamboo under my nails." "Why have I worked so many night shifts this year?" "Why'd I switch aftershaves?" "Where was I three months ago on Thursday?" "Can we please just drink?" "Please." "Hey, Jeannie, we don't even need dinner, as long as you made that pineapple pimento dip." "I made lobster relish." "Even better." "Even better." "Mucus on a cracker." "Come on in, baby." "Don't let the moths inside." "Sam, I don't want to go in there." "Oh, you're mad." "I know you're mad, okay?" "Next time Cut and Jeannie invite us over, we'll just kill ourselves instead." "Okay?" "How's that?" "At least we went somewhere." "Even if it was awful, I'd rather do that than sit in there and wait for you to not come home when you said that you would." "Are we drunk?" "How drunk are we?" "What's happening?" "I don't know!" "I thought that we were together now, that we were doing this together, but instead," "I'm just alone again in a different man's house." "Baby, you know my job." "You know things come up." "You know I have to work cases based on timing, availability..." "Right." "Reduce it to that." "Make me sound petty and resentful of you being an instrument of justice." "Okay." "Thank you." "You're right." "You're right." "What are you?" "You tell me." "You're the woman I love." "Sam, I don't feel loved." "Mmm." "'Cause you wanna leave, and you're telling a story that lets you." "(SCOFFS)" "Yeah." "And you hurt me into it, again."
