I know how much it hurts, like your whole body, you're so screaming to be heard.

Nobody's there to listen.

That's how we were.

Sorry to call you so early, Sam, but there is a Grace Karn calling for you.

Okay, yeah, yeah, put her through.

Sam.

Grace, you all right?

I just, um, I didn't know who else to call.

What is it?

My girl... My daughter, Emma, she... she's gone.

Did someone take her?

[shakily] I don't know, she, um...

We've had problems with her.

She's run away before.

Did you file a missing persons?

We can't.

I know the last time we saw each other it wasn't...

No, no, it's okay. I'll be right over.

These are the most recent pictures of Emma.

This her boyfriend, one of these guys here?

Right here, but I've never heard her use that word.

None of them do anymore.

But she's probably with him... again, and she'll come back with some story again.

She's been gone four days.

That's never happened before.

You know his name, this fella?

Rick Zondervan.

Rick Zondervan.

How old is she again?

She's 16.

Look, Sam, we really appreciate this, but just, this, it... it can't be official.

With the election next year...

Obviously, yes, finding her is the important thing, But if you can keep it quiet, there are people who'd appreciate it.

[jingling]

Still married?

Technically... I guess.

I'm sorry, I didn't...

No, no, that's okay.

How's your boy?

He's good.

Must be in college.

Army.

Overseas?

Da Nang.

Just made corporal.

You know, my mother always said, you never know fear till you have kids.

Still asks about you.

First boyfriend she ever liked.

Also the last.

The police are just trying to do their job.

So that thing we talked about...

L.A. has always got to be first, first spic riots, first jig riots, Now the first diaper riots.

Six days after the first att*cks on the Con Thien Marine Base located 3 kilometers south of the northern Vietnam demilitarized zone.

Over 100 tons of m*llitary supplies have been airlifted to the combat zone.

The guy you talked to, Steve Elmer, a record producer, owns a house, a little under two years.

Arrests?

None.

Anything else? Lieu needs me for body-pats.

Said we never had this many females.

Not true. Did a whorehouse sweep in '61, double the..., half the quality.

Uh-oh, isn't that what's-his-name?

[muffled] Don't push me again.

[shouting indistinctly]

Wait, you're gonna file on me?

What the hell was he doing out there dressed like that?

Quiet, both of you.

So, Brian, please tell me you made a buy.

Yeah.

Did you log it?

Oh, no... well, I woke up in the car after...

He was going for his g*n.

I was going for my badge.

Oh, why won't you shut up, freak?

Don't touch me unless you love me, all right?

Hey. Hey!

Hey, Lieu, can I talk to you for a minute?

That Shafe kid...

You volunteering to give him the buzz cut?

No.

So wait. I report to you?

Yep.

Why?

Lieutenant says.

Because...

Missing girl's from a family with juice, Lieutenant thinks it's not a bad idea to be nice to a dad who's friends with the mayor, the governor, maybe even the next president.

Look, I didn't cr*ck some secret hippie code to tell you what they're really saying, and I don't want to be the bait to get you in the room just so you can start bashing skulls.

If I want to cr*ck skulls, I don't need you.

I can do that by myself.

What else do you guys know how to do?

"You guys." Really?

See something you don't understand, you want to hit it, or sh**t it.

Oh, you're hurting my feelings.

You know me so well.

I know the first two words we say, you're leaning on me to do your thing.

Well, then you also know that hair's going high and tight tomorrow morning, that uniform is coming out of plastic, Lieutenant's orders, unless...

"Stop w*r now"... ah...

So I've got to go out and find a pay phone?

Do you got one in the car?

I want a lawyer.

No, you don't.

I want to call my dad.

You know this is personal for him, right?

I got back to the party, and I am like, "who's Charlie?"

Right? And Steve... he's the cat who owns the house...

He's like, "it's cool," you know.

"It's the way it is.

Charlie gets the girls."

You got a last name on this Charlie?

So she takes me to a bar, and she gives me to the waitress for a bucket of beer.

And then she left.
