- Excuse me, Ma'am.

- She's here.

- Oh dear.

- Thanks for picking her up.

- Yeah, has dad called?

- Not yet.

- This door may need some attention.

- How is my little man?

- He just sat here and played.

- Was it all screen time?

You know it'll turn him into a zombie.

- I put it on educational stuff.

I guess she had no trouble finding you at the bus station.

- Becky, this home is just lovely.

Absolutely lovely.

Did you hire an interior decorator,

'cause it looks like a magazine?

- No, Doris, I just hung some things up.

Where's your luggage?

- Oh I'm not staying,

I just wanted to tour my boy's home

before going to the apartment.

- The apartment?

- Yes dear, I'm staying right here in East Bank

with my family.

- Yes, I know that,

but who is paying for an apartment?

- I am.

It's just a little two bedroom over by the super market

where I can get all my groceries.

- And you have the money to pay for that?

- Would I say it if I didn't?

Gary's great-aunt, Theresa,

left me a trust fund in her will.

She passed while I was away

on my date with the State of Texas.

Is this a bedroom?

- Who is Aunt Theresa?

- Doris, he didn't have a great-aunt Theresa.

Do you mean Aunt Martha?

- Oh yes, of course, Aunt Martha.

That's so sweet of her.

When can I see Gary?

- We don't know.

They delayed his bail hearing.

- Bail hearing?

Who'd he put in jail?

- Look, I know it sounds extreme,

but this is a active and fluid investigation.

And as our District Attorney,

I think you need to reconsider.

- I'm listening.

- I have clear proof that Travis attempted

to impede a murder investigation.

He knows where to the suspect's hiding

but he will not divulge it.

His own guy, Millwood,

can't conduct an investigation

because Travis keeps throwing him off on some rabbit trail

every time there's a lead.

We need him to remain locked up without bail

so we can do our job unimpeded.

- Do you have any idea

what the court considers clear proof?

Because I don't think you do.

- Well, I know the judge is a reasonable man.

- Yes, he is,

and Gary Travis has constitutional rights,

that the judge is very aware of.

- Judge McGinnis, Frank,

he loves this city,

he loves Texas,

and the last thing he wants to see

is this case hit national headlines

because he let some rogue cop back out on the streets.

- I'll take it under advisement.

- Sounds fair.

- What's wrong?

- The attorney hasn't called back

and I can't find the number.

- Well, did you put it in your phone?

- No, Leslie wrote it on a piece of paper,

she gave it to me,

I put it on the counter,

and then I got distracted

trying to fix the dishwasher,

and now I can't find it.

- What's wrong with the dishwasher?

- I don't know.

Someone's coming to look at it.

- I'm ready to go now.

- You want me to take her?

- No, no, I'll take her.

I'm sure you need to get on the road for work tomorrow.

- So about work,

I was actually going to ask

if we could stay for awhile to job hunt.

- Why do you need to job hunt?

You have a good job at the care center.

- Had a good job.

The company created a bunch of stupid new policies

about my personal life,

and I said no way, then I quit.

- You have a child to provide for, Katie,

you cannot go quitting jobs.

You are gonna call them

and you are gonna try to get your position back.

- What's all the yelling about?

- Relax.

I'm gonna find something here in East Bank.

Noah and I will be closer.

Isn't that what you want?

Besides, then I'll be around to help with all this stuff

until dad's situation gets fixed.

- Y'all gonna make an old lady walk?

- I got ya, Doris.

Come on.

Please watch Noah.

- Bye Doris.

Thank you.

- I'll be back next week, I promise.

I love you,

and we won't have to do this much longer, okay?

- Man, this is crazy.

- Impeding an investigation,

making a death threat.

You were there,

did either of those things happen?

- Come on Travis,

you and I both know this whole thing is a sham.

You'll be out on bail tomorrow

and that's if they haven't dropped the charges already.

Man, you know there's no way our DA takes this thing.

You know, they haven't even talked to me yet?

Not a word.

Nothing.

You know I'll set 'em straight.

Tomlinson said he had no choice.

- No choice?

Can't believe a word out of that man's mouth.

Something's going on.

It's not about budgets,

closing Precinct 2, cut backs, now I'm in jail?

I mean, come on.

- I'm just wondering why they ain't came and got me yet.

- You have the opportunity to do something about it

before it's too late.

Any news on Anthony?

I mean, Tomlinson hasn't pulled you from it has he?

- We got every agency in the state looking for him.

Supposed to be looking for him.

I mean, you know how it is as time passes,

it's been like three weeks,

I got all these other cases, man, I'm just--

- But you're still working it?

(inmate oinking like a pig)

- Travis, I have exhausted everything I got, man.

- What about the cellphone pings at the warehouse?

there were other people there, that's obvious.

- We got folks at the lab looking at all of that, man,

but Travis, you need to be focused on your case.

- Becky is talking to an attorney, I'm fine.

But Anthony,

Anthony could be in danger.

- What do you want me to do?

- I dropped the ball,

I didn't check Anthony's arrest records

for other family members.

Anthony's from Dallas.

His grandmother raised him there,

she's passed away.

He's got cousins but they're bad news.

So maybe there's an aunt or an uncle.

Just check his arrest records,

see if there's any other family members,

maybe he's staying with them.

- All right, I can do that.

Okay, but what about you, man?

You gonna be all right?

- Yeah, I'll be fine.

You just focus on finding Anthony.

Once I post bail,

I'll be right out there with ya.

- Who is that?

- It's your dad's friend.

He's too old.

- Okay, so I figured out that the main feed

actually runs through this side cabinet here,

I can show ya.

Whoa.

Did we discover Gary's stash?

- That's for cooking.

Some recipes call for it for flavor.

- So, the bail hearing is supposed to be soon, right?

I mean, they can't keep him

for more than what, 24, 48 hours?

- I don't know.

The attorney hasn't returned my phone calls,

I'm feeling really overwhelmed and angry,

and I'd like to find someone new but I--

- No, no, no, no,

you should've asked me.

Emily Baker.

- Who is that?

- Big time defense attorney down in Houston.

I went to East Bank High with her,

but we still keep up online.

I could call her,

see if she'd talk with ya.

- Sounds expensive.

- Not if I call her.

- Why, is she your girlfriend?

- No, but I fixed her dishwasher.

- You still working or you clocked out yet?

- I'm just looking at this old arrest report

for this guy we're hunting.

- Anthony?

- You've been paying attention to my cases, huh?

- Babe, I always pay attention.

- Well, I found a guardian that signed him out.

Address is in Oak Cliff,

so I gotta go check it out tomorrow.

- Wait a minute, you're driving to Dallas?

Tomorrow?

On your day off, on our day off?

- Babe, I know, I'm sorry, but I gotta get on this.

You know how these cases go.

When people go missing,

if they're not found within the first week,

sometimes they're not found for years.

But when they go missing in connection with a murder,

you know what that means?

- What does it mean?

- That almost always means they're dead.

- Wow.

- So I gotta do this tomorrow,

but why, did you have something for us?

- No.

Well, I know you have something.

- What do I got?

- If you're going to Dallas,

you're bringing me back a pie from Snuggies.

- Oh yeah.

Yeah, I got you, you know I'll take care of you.

It's probably gonna be cold by the time I get back though.

- Well, then I guess you better drive fast,

just don't get pulled over.

- Right.

I love you.

- I love you the most.

- Yeah, I love you the mostest.

- I love you the mostestest.

- That is not a word.

(both giggling)

Mostestest.

- I did the right thing by helping Anthony.

It is all your fault.

If you had never brought him here,

he would be fine.

Anthony's gone.

Wrong again.

Not just Anthony,

but Gary's gone too.

(sobbing)

- It's in the valleys where we grow the most

Not the mountaintops.

- I can vouch for that.

- And even though it's a total farce, me being here,

I'm still making the most of the time while I can.

- That's good to hear, man.

- I got this phrase that keeps coming into my mind.

It's all temporary.

- My attorney friend, Emily,

she said the same thing.

She thinks you'll be out this afternoon.

- That's not what I mean.

Life is temporary,

earth's temporary,

pain, money is temporary.

Yet we spend all our time,

which is temporary too by the way,

focused on the things that are going away.

- It's true.

But what do you do with that knowledge?

What does it change?

- Things that last forever.

That's what matters most.

And yet I never shared Christ with Anthony,

or Kris for that matter.

All the time I spent with them

and I never took it seriously enough.

You spent time with him,

did he get it?

'Cause I don't know,

and it may be too late.

- I could say the same thing about my daughter and my ex.

It's good stuff.

- You know,

it's tough for me to even

talk about faith anymore after my situation,

family, friends, whoever,

but even though people don't wanna hear my words right now,

I know they're looking at me,

watching me closely.

I gotta live the truth so they can see it.

- Speak it and live it.

- That's it, man.

- Speak it and live it.

(upbeat music)

- [GPS] Your destination is on the right.

- Hey fellas.

Hey, what's up?

- Do you guys know

where the 300 block of Pecan Street's at?

My app says it's supposed to be here but it ain't.

- You must be lost, man, ain't no 300 block.

- You sure about that?

- Yeah, he's sure.

- All right, man, Gladice Thompson,

y'all know her?

She lives around here.

- Nah man, I don't know no Gladice Thompson.

- Man, stop playing with us, we know you a cop.

- Yeah, what makes you think that?

- Why else you spinning our block like this?

- All right, man.

- Sign at the bottom.

After Brian called me,

I did a quick review of the case.

Based on the charges and Gary's exemplarily history,

the DA would have to be insane

to ask for anything other than minimum bail.

But out here,

I wouldn't put it past her to aim for something higher.

- Why would she do that?

- Let's just say your cute little DA

is in way over her head.

Between us, I think she was hired more for her cup size

than her qualifications.

- I'm still worried.

Until it's settled,

I don't trust the courts.

And if your last name is Travis,

they're out to get ya.

- You don't need to be worried, okay?

Any of you.

He'll be home by supper

and if I don't have the charges dropped by the weekend,

the State of Texas should disbar me.

- I like her.

- Ma'am, ma'am, can you help me out?

I need to find 305 Pecan Street,

do you know where that is?

I've been driving up and down

and it just goes from 200 to 500.

- Well, you got $10?

- $10?

For some directions?

This ain't Highland Park, come on.

- Well, good luck finding 300 Pecan then.

- Look, I'll give you $5.

- Well, I got to sit down, hun,

'cause I can't stand up and give no directions.

Come on.

Come on.

So, who is a fancy fella like you looking for over on Pecan?

- Just trying to locate a family member of an acquaintance.

- Well, why ain't the acquaintance looking for themself?

- Look, I just need you to help me find the 300 block,

all right, I got a lot of errands to run,

and I'm kinda pressed for time.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Now, did I chase you down on the side of the road?

Did I offer you $5?

Now, you gonna have to answer my questions

if you want my help.

- All right, Thompson.

Her name is Gladice Thompson at 305 Pecan Street.

You know her?

- Mm-hmm, I know Gladice.

And she lives at 205 Pecan Street.

There never has been a 305 Pecan.

- So, it's 205.

That's what I need.

- Oh, no, no, no.

You keep your money.

Tell me about this acquaintance.

- Look, I don't have a lot of time, all right,

so if you could just take this money, that'd be great,

and I'll be on my way.

- Hey, Ms. Gladice,

you all right?

- Oh.

Hey boys.

Oh, I'm great, I'm tired, but I'm great.

Y'all being good?

- Yes, ma'am.

- Yes, ma'am.

- All right now,

well, I better not catch y'all up to no trouble.

- No, ma'am.

- No, ma'am.

- All right, okay.

Oh, my boys, Lord, they're always taking care of me.

Ooh, that made my day.

Aw, yes it did.

So, you Gladice, huh?

- I guess so.

- That makes this a lot easier then.

Anthony Jackson, he's the grandson of your sister Rose, right?

You signed him out when he got picked up.

- Yes, sir.

I sure did.

Why, who you think put 305 on that police form?

I ain't want them coming to my house.

- Well, have you seen him lately?

'Cause there's a lot of people looking for him,

we thought maybe he came to stay with you.

- No, but I knew you'd come looking for him.

- So you've been watching the news then, you saw him?

- Nope.

- You know what he's accused of?

- Nope.

None of that.

Ah, yes, here we are.

There we are.

This morning.

Yep.

You're looking for the wrong person, son.

- Pretty sure I know who I'm looking for, ma'am.

- Nope, no, it says right here,

tell him to find the girl.

- That's intriguing,

but it's wrong.

We already found the girl

and that's why I need to find Anthony and talk with him,

'cause a lot of people think he killed her.

- What do you think?

- Well, I don't think he did,

and that's why it'd be wise for you to help me find him

if you know anything.

- Oh, I know all about wisdom.

That's why I'm telling you that you need to find the girl.

- What girl?

I don't know what you're talking about.

- All right, look,

I'm gonna get personal with you

'cause you've been getting personal with me all this,

while, asking me where I live and all of that.

But you see, I don't care.

Now, tell me son,

are you a believer?

- Yeah, I am.

- Okay, good, good, good.

So then you know of the spirit, His spirit,

the spirit of the living God.

Yes, the one that lives in you and dwells in you

and speaks to you.

All of that.

- I suppose, yeah.

- You suppose?

He speaks to me

in the most quiet moments

when I stop and listen.

And when he speaks to me,

I write it down right in this book right here.

So that's why I'm telling you

you need to find the girl.

- Okay, great, I would love to,

but I don't know what girl you're talking about.

Is there a name in that book?

There's thousands of missing people.

- I didn't say she was missing,

I just said that you need to find her.

- You talking about Kris?

Find Kris.

You talking about Kris?

- Now you are listening.

Now, who is she?

Where is she?

- We don't exactly know.

She just quit and cut contact.

- When was the last time you saw her?

- Same day of the murder.

- Mm-hmm.

- The spirit, huh?

Is your name even Gladice?

- I'm gonna be praying for Rose's grand baby,

but when you find him,

I want you to bring him to see me.

Now go.

- You call me if you hear from Anthony, okay?

And thank you, but I do gotta go,

'cause I gotta pick something up for my wife

and if I don't, she gonna kill me.

- Hey.

You gonna get her one of them pies from Snuggies, right?

- You got that in your notebook too.

- No. (laughing)

Everybody always get their wives pies from Snuggies.

(laughing)

- Absolutely ridiculous.

It's unprecedented.

Unbelievable.

Something is not right here

because this is not normal.

I hope you know that.

I have never seen it.

Whatever's happening

and whoever this is,

they want a war.

Well, what they're gonna get instead is a lawsuit,

that's what they're gonna get.

And I am on it for you,

I'm going to embarrass them.

- No bail.

(crying out in anger)

(glass breaking)

(slow dramatic music)
