Nothing new, I lose control.

I find a place between this rock.

The harder I, the bigger this fall.

I need your love, I need it.

It's happening now, I need it.

Come on in with me. It'll only take a minute.

Brand new CD, Mom. It's your Aunt Roxanne's birthday present. You can at

sign the card.

Forge my name.

Connie. I forge your name all the time.

Oh, you do?

Okay. All right. But I'm going to write something really sweet and sappy, and

the next time she sees you, she's going to give you a big kiss.

Can I ask you a favor?

You can ask me anything.

You see that van over there?

Nice. Oh, thanks. I just got it. I'm going to be fixing it up, but I want to

a before picture, you know, so I can look back and compare.

Would you mind?

I'm not redoing. Yeah?

Oh, yeah. It rocks. You should hear it. What was that you were listening to when

I came over there?

Fish Betty.

Their new CD came out this morning.

Oh, really?

You should bring it over here.

That is if you trust me.

Check out how it sounds from the back.

Hey,

come here, check it out.

I got the...

Honey?

Don't try to talk it down, why everyone bags

on my town.

Stand and see, it works for me.

Take a look around,

just another day in LA.

She's more than me.

Anybody who thinks she is free.

Someday.

One is down.

Just another day.

It is the nicest day of the year out there. It's 80 degrees, there's an

breeze, and we're knee -high in triplicate paperwork.

You'll jinx it.

Jinx what?

You haven't noticed?

Noticed what?

Oh, this is my personal best.

The longest streak I can remember.

What kind of a streak?

I'm totally superstitious. I'll do anything to keep it going. What streak?

All right.

Nope. Can't talk about it. Cruz!

Hey, can't talk about it. It's like a no -hitter in baseball. If you talk about

it, it goes away.

Okay, fine.

Let's get it.

Okay, okay.

I'll tell you.

All right.

It has been ten days, six hours, and seven minutes since we have had a

crime in our happy little jurisdiction.

You know what?

You're right.

You're absolutely right.

The bank hit at Seaside was on the 31st. That's right. And since then, it's like

the crooks went to a bad guy convention somewhere else.

Hey, everybody.

Have you realized that it has been ten days since... Damn!

Now you've done it?

Ugh.

You're putting in for a transfer?

I'm bored.

Bored? Yeah, tired of writing nuisance tickets, nabbing shoplifters. It's not

what I pictured when I entered the academy.

I think you're tired of waiting.

Waiting for what?

Waiting for TC to fall into your clutches.

Right.

Sometimes I just don't feel like a real cop, okay?

Connie!

Connie!

Hey, well, don't look now, but there's someone who needs a real cop.

Hey! Hey! Come here.

What's wrong, man? My daughter, she just got banished.

Just relax, baby. This is her. She just got it. She loves it. She wouldn't go

without it. I think she's been kidnapped.

We need you to calm down, ma 'am. We need information from you, and we need

quick.

She's gone. What am I going to do?

Look, I need you to answer my questions one by one. What is your daughter's

name?

1PB3 and 4, we have a possible 207 in progress approximately three minutes

Abducted victim is a white female, age 15, blonde hair, green eyes, taken from

the shopping center near Ocean Park in Maine.

Stay on line, 1PB3.

Switching to channel one.

Attention all units, we have a 207 abduction, Maine and Ocean Park,

approximately four minutes ago.

Emergency mode three.

Close the tent on ramp at Lincoln. Close PCH northbound at Sunset. Close Lincoln

southbound at Jefferson.

Stay on this channel for further instruction and description of suspect

Let's roll, people.

A van. It was blue. That's all I remember.

Mrs. Lamb, I know you know more than just the color. No, I don't. I can't

remember. Look, close your eyes. Oh, I just want my daughter back.

Mrs. Lamb, close your eyes.

Picture the van. What color blue was it?

Dark. Metallic or smooth?

Smooth. A little darker than mine.

Okay, okay, that's good. Now, just the one color, not too tall? I don't know.

Yes, you do.

Look at it.

See it.

Just the one color.

Okay, that's good. Do they have any windows in the back? Doors or windows?

in the back, doors. Doors. Any wood, fancy decorations?

No. Spare tire?

No, I'm sorry.

No, you're doing great. How about tires, wheels, decorations, white walls? I'm

sorry, I'm just not a car person, but the stereo was booming, loud, a lot of

bass. Okay, a big one now. The license plate.

You saw the van leaving. Did you see the back of it? No. I just didn't notice.

I'm sorry. I just don't know. If you didn't notice, there are probably

California plates, and that helps us out, too.

Look, um, you've done better than most people do. What you've given us can

really help.

Now let's talk about the driver.

Ah, good. You're waking up.

I was afraid I might have hit you too hard. I hated to mess up that pretty new

place of yours.

Settle down.

We're almost there.

Hanging.

Calm down, baby doll. Daddy's coming.

Is that too tight?

A little tighter?

Okay, good.

I don't want your little hands getting hurt.

They have lots of work to do.

You know what they say, busy hands are happy hands.

You're really very pretty.

A lot better than I hoped for.

Sometimes you just have to settle for what you can get, you know?

You like the desert?

That's where I'm from, you know? Mojave.

I'm not actually right in town.

Actually, I live out in the middle of nowhere.

That's where we're going now, okay?

I think you'll like it.

It's really very private.

I mean very private.

This is Lam?

Yeah, I'm Sergeant McNamara.

I'm the watch commander today. How you doing? How do you think I'm doing?

Terrible, I'm sure.

But I should let you know that your description of the van was terrific.

It's been radioed to all units. All main exits from town have been blocked off.

I think we have a very good chance.

Sergeant. What do you got? Well, I found this over by where the van was parked.

So? So, who throws these away without getting them developed? I mean, all the

pictures were taken. Look at it. It's trash.

So maybe the film inside's okay.

Look, there's a one -hour photo place right here. It's worth a shot. All

go for it. Go to the front of the lot. Oh, my God. What am I thinking? I have

new photos of Connie.

That's great.

These are the pictures?

See if you can get photos on CD, too. That way you can jet them all over the

to the other units. Gotcha.

Mrs. Lamb, Virginia.

I need you to tell me everything you can about your daughter. Tell you what, she

was 15. She was beautiful. She liked rock and roll. She was funny. Miss Lamb,

you're talking in past tense.

She's not dead. She's just been kidnapped.

Oh, my God, you're right.

But everything you're telling me is great. Keep going. This isn't helping

Yes, it is. Listen to me.

The first hour in an abduction is the most important time.

That's the best chance of getting your daughter back within that time frame.

You're the best tool we have. Any information you give us is helpful. You

understand. I've lost my child.

I do understand. Listen to me.

I've lost a child, too.

A baby.

I understand.

I know how you feel.

Help me.

Help me get her back for you, okay?

She really is beautiful.

And it's not just because I'm her mom.

She's really pretty.

She has blonde hair, shoulder length, purple fingernails, wearing two circular

necklaces, a long -sleeved black shirt underneath a wine -colored velvet shirt.

No tattoos.

Burgundy kettle pusher pants with a gray miniskirt and black platform combat

boots.

Anything

new on the blue

van? Pretty detailed.

Still no plate number.

Man, it looks like it might be one of those conversions with the barn doors in

back. No commercial identification?

Not that the mother remembers.

But hey, better eliminate that, bub. Yeah, and leaves about 10 ,000 others.

I need that.

Oh, there?

Enlarge. Come on.

Come on.

This is 1PB3 to all units regarding the 207 in progress.

Suspect is a white male, mid -twenties, clean -shaven, striped olive polo shirt,

khaki pants, brown hair, sunglasses.

Suspect appears to be 5 '10", 180.

Suspect van is a blue Chevrolet, probably 94, 95.

White California plate partial. May begin with letters D -F. That's Dog

Drop the stuff and trip it down.

Damn, that's a little hard, but... Shut up.

I said, shut up!

Jump the ladder.

Grappling weed.

Got something?

Maybe.

and it's possible to own the suspect at any east on Ocean Park.

One PB2 to bait.

I thought I had the suspect, Van. I lost him when he beat me through the

stoplight. Will you make the call, Bobby? Should I order a full cordon?

a quick glimpse. I can't be sure.

Well, I don't want to commit the units and have him slip out the back door.

Give me another five minutes. Maybe I can pick him up again.

Sergeant, I may have hit on the van plate.

Granger's possible partial matches a 94 blue Chevy registered to a B .J. Tucker

at 4418 Carruthers.

That's six blocks from here.

Strickland!

You and Harper check this out stat. I'll radio for backup to follow.

What is it? Did you find her?

Not yet. We may have a lead.

Take me there.

Mrs. Lamb, please let us do our job.

I want to see my daughter.

We all do. What we have is an address that may be tied into the van, but it's

big maybe.

They're checking it out. They'll get back to me in a minute. Okay, where's

FBI? I thought the FBI handled kidnapping.

They do, and they've been notified.

But we're here right now, and we're on the job.

I promise you, if this goes past the first hour... They will be involved.

But you said if it goes past the first hour, we won't get Connie back. That is

not what I said. Listen to me, Mrs. Lamb.

As long as your daughter and her captor are still moving, and as long as they're

still in the same blue van, our chances of getting them back are excellent.

Okay?

Okay.

Just a couple of minutes, darling.

I've got a place we can go.

Wyatt. I'm coming.

We're in luck. I found a nice private hideaway where we can be alone.

Just the two of us.

It's small, but it's clean.

And a lot less cramp than the smelly old truck.

Mojave's out of the question for today. Just too many people looking for us.

Don't you love being popular?

I won't be nearly as romantic as what I had in mind.

But I think it'll suit our needs just fine.

1 -PB -4 to all units. Suspect van in the in -progress 207 heading eastbound

roads between Simmons and Shield. I have a visual. Repeat, I have a visual.

This is 1 -PB -2. Stay on this channel, Granger.

Turning left onto Cottonwood.

Recommend intercept at Juniper.

Approach with caution.

This is 1PB4.

Suspect vehicle has stopped. Repeat, stopped at 1300 block of Ketchum.

Where the hell is my backup?

One away. Any sign of the girl? Negative.

Corey, where the hell are you? I need some help.

This is the police.

Get out of the van with your hands up.

Get out of the van with your hands up.

This is 1P before we struck out.

Fire team, we struck out.

It's all right. It's all right. It's not all right. It's just the wrong van,

that's all. It was a false alarm.

We're still on it. We still have our lead. I can't stand this. I can't take

anymore. Come on.

Take her back to the firehouse.

We'll relocate the command center. I'll manage better from there.

Freaky. No kidding.

I mean, I was just telling Granger this morning how I was bored with the bike

unit. You know, no action.

See? Careful what you wish for.

No one wishes for this.

Not that girl in there, you know, helpless at the hands of some... thing.

Damn, Harper.

Sexual subjects you don't find amusing.

Let's do it.

This is 1PB6N7 in position at 4418 Carruthers. Where's our backup?

Detour to help Granger on a fossil -armed van sighting.

Great.

I don't hear anything. Do we wait?

Wait until he does what to her?

I don't know.

Don't move!

Who else is here?

Nobody, just me. I live here. Do you own a blue van with a license plate that

begins with D -F?

Yes. Where is it? Do you have a garage?

No, it was stolen this morning. I reported it.

Don't you guys talk to each other?

Where did you report it?

Palm, the LAPD station. It was stolen a couple blocks from there.

It took me two hours just to file the report.

Sorry for the mix -up.

We are F -M -P -D.

We think your van is being used in another crime.

Oh, great.

This is 1PB to 6 to base.

Base to 6, what do you got? Zero. The van is registered to the woman at this

address. You reported it to the LAPD stolen this morning.

Oh, this is bad.

This means that we're dealing with a multi -crime offender.

Sarge, he's a pro.

Either that or a planner, which means Connie was no spur of the moment crime

opportunity. Well, all is not a total waste. I will get the full plate and

description and photos of the vehicle if she has them.

Good. Then get back here as soon as you can. What time is it?

We're almost a half hour into it.

The crime, what was it?

Kidnapping. 15 -year -old girl.

What does that mean? What were you just saying?

Mrs. Lamb, I'm going to have to ask you to wait up front. No. We may need you to

talk to your daughter or talk to the kidnapper, so you need to keep it

emotionally. I need to know what's going on. No, I need to do my job here, and I

can't do it if I have to explain it to you every step of the way.

Don't do this to me. Mrs. Lamb, I promise you, I will update you with any

significant information.

I promise.

Did you hear that last radio call?

Yeah. I'm afraid that's the good news.

This abduction fits a pattern similar to 207's all involving teenage girls in

the last six months.

FBI thinks the same guy started in Vegas, then moved to San Diego, San

Huntington Beach.

And now here.

Were any of the girls recovered?

No, ma 'am.

What?

I just keep wondering why this girl? Why Connie Lamb?

Target of opportunity.

Maybe.

Look, we'll find out when we question the pig who took her. If we catch him.

will.

When I was young, I was wild. I was all on the street all the time, but nothing

like this ever even came close to happening. You had your own problems,

remember?

Yeah.

But this girl was snatched from a strip mall running errands with her mother.

If I was kidnapped, there'd be no mother there to wonder, worry, cry over me.

I just keep seeing Mrs. Lamb's face.

And how horrible must that be?

The worst.

The very worst.

I mean, even if we catch this guy and get Connie back unharmed, their lives

never, ever be the same.

Jamie, you're thinking about this too hard.

No, I'm not.

Yes, you are.

Look, just do your job. If you think about this too hard...

You'll go stark, baby man.

That quieted you down a little.

I was beginning to think you were one of those Hellcat girls.

I don't like them. No, I like my women nice, soft, and compliant.

My little pussy cat.

No?

That's okay. We can change that.

We can work with you.

You can learn.

Now then, where were we?

I'm never having kids.

Yes, you are.

I couldn't live through this. There's no way I could go through what that

woman's going through.

This is why we do this job, Granger. So people can keep dreaming their dream,

living their lives.

You can't make a decision based on a fear that something might go wrong.

You want to bet?

Civic Blue, McNamara.

I may have him. Bobby, why aren't you on radio?

He may have a scanner.

It's Seashore Motel, 6969 Horsley. The van matching our description is parked

out back.

I think it's the same one I spotted before.

We're on our way.

We may have got to leave, people. Let's move!

Sorry. You're doing a great job.

Thanks.

Anything else I need to know?

He was standing right at the window.

I think he saw me.

I'm trying not to look too suspicious, but I don't know.

All right, here comes Strickland. You guys get going.

You ready, Mrs. Cruz?

As I'll ever be. Good.

and Strickland SMPD give us everything you've got on the man in 16.

Why? What is this about? I run a clean place here. There's a kidnapping in

progress. We need you to give us your master keys and let us into the room

door right now. I can't. 17's occupied.

Are there guests in there? No, but... The keys, now.

God, you are so bad.

Oh, come on now, Maggie. We stayed in worse.

Yeah, but I don't remember when.

You mind if I take a shower?

I won't be long.

Mind? I am big.

Dead quiet?

What do you think?

We've got nothing, Sarge. No sound, no movement.

I'm awaiting your order, Sarge.

Move in.

Go on, Empty. Nobody here.

Base to forensic. Get a lab team up to room 16 right away.

Harper, get a second lab team over to the van. Granger, get back to the

firehouse to coordinate.

All units, close coordinates on the seashore motel.

This isn't over, Mrs. Lamb.

People keep saying that.

Let me...

you said she was here she's close by she has to be there's a big difference now

her abductor is on foot

Fibers, hair, and blood guaranteed from the victim. You with me.

Steering wheel, door handle, shift lever, radio knob.

I want to see all the parts of the latent you get.

Do you copy?

Sarge.

What do you got?

The texts aren't sure, but first indication is pretty good.

No signs of violence, no blood. Uh, rumpled bed, but no signs of any sexual

activity. I think we may have flushed him out fast enough. That's great.

I'm sorry, Sarge. I didn't think he'd seen me, but I guess he did. Are you

kidding me, Bobby? Because of you, we're here, and because of you, he didn't get

to the girl.

It's good work, Bobby.

Sarge.

A woman just wandered out of a parking lot half a block back, claiming to be

carjacked. The suspect matches that 207 description.

Where's the vehicle?

It's a black Firebird. Here's the plates and all the specifics.

Based to all units, 207 suspect is now believed to be driving an 84 black

Firebird.

This is the thumbprint, right?

Yeah. I'm going to run it over to the station right now. Oh, don't bother.

There's a high -resolution scanner with an uplink in our van.

We can send it from right here.

Go.

Now he's on the move again.

Maybe, but we're closing in.

And the woman he stole the car from didn't see any sign of your daughter.

Is that good or bad?

My God, he could have killed her already. That's not likely. It's just

probable that he abandoned her.

Look, you don't know what's likely. You don't know anything.

You've been racing around here like a bunch of damn fools. So far, all you've

done is... Lam, please. No, listen, you're the one who told me that the

hour is critical. Well, guess what? That hour is almost up. No, don't you dare

try to send me away. You're not helping here. Look, I just want my little girl.

I just... I want my little girl.

Final image transmitting now.

Did they come?

Jeez, Harper, nice work.

I'm dialing in to NTIC.

Okay, they went through. How long does it take to get a hit?

If the guy's in our data bank, shouldn't be long.

How about it, Monica?

You feel like a real cop now?

Yeah, too real.

Holy. Here it comes.

Creighton, Thomas, J.

Erie, Pennsylvania.

DOB 62873.

I got it all.

Can you forward it to all units?

Bet your ass I can.

Attention all units.

It's me.

We've locked them.

What do you mean?

We know who he is. We know what he's driving.

It's a feeling.

It's a bad feeling.

I've only worked one of these before back on LAPD.

The girl was even younger.

Her name was Katie Hines.

Ten years old.

It was a lot like this deal. We thought we had him, then... Oof.

Smoke.

Her body turned up a week later in a dry canyon in Matura County.

What was left of her.

Yeah? Well, that's not going to happen this time.

Copy. It's 84 Black Firebird, California Plate 3, Frank King, Hall 455 with

custom chrome wheels, redstone radials with wire rims and an honor roll sticker

on the back left bumper.

Suspect is Creighton Thomas J.

Vitals should be on your onboard computers by now. Suspect has priors for

sexual and physical assault. Should be considered extremely dangerous.

Report any sightings to the command center immediately.

Out.

One TV6, possible suspect's vehicle just emerged from the alley between 3rd and

Mall East onto Claypool, heading towards the beach, trying to maintain visual

contact.

Request complete closure cordon of 16 -block grid from Alters with Finneker

Please respond and stay on this channel.

Stop it.

Stop it.

One PB6. Suspect's vehicle's on the corner of 1st and Claypool. Suspect may

made me repeat. Suspect may have recognized me.

All units, tight to a four -block grid centered around Claypool and 1st.

Presumed suspect has ID'd our officer.

Demonstrate! Stop it!

Suspect is on the move. I'm in pursuit. Claypool heading towards the beach.

Suspect vehicle incoming, Claypool and Speedway.

to a speedway in Juniper.

I need your bike now.

Don't come any closer.

Let her go, Matt.

She's holding you back. She's slowing you down. I'm warning you.

I'll kill her. Let her go.

rape you? Did he hurt you?

This is one PB sick.

You are one brave little girl.

Fantastic job, everybody.

We were lucky.

We were good.

We were both.

We were great.

Sergeant McNamara.

59 minutes and 12 seconds.

What'd I tell you?

Come try to talk it down.

Why, everyone that's on my town, respond and

speak their words for me.

Take a look around.

Just another day in LA.

Anybody sees more than me.

Anybody thinks he is free.

Someday.

One illest doubt.

Just another day.
