The police know the drugs in the locker
weren't yours.

And they don't want to arrest you. You
can come home. Tonight on Simon and

Simon.

No! Amy, come on. Come on.

Beautiful. Three kilos.

Hey, Jake.

Come on, calm down.

Somebody get...

Hey, Phoebe.

Yeah? Want to go for a ride with the
guys doing fourth period?

I've got to study.

Sophie, I've got a fifth period
computer.

Are you mad at me?

No.

Why are you being so mean and stuck up?

I'm not.

I'm trying to avoid you, right?

No. I'm trying to stay out of trouble.

My parents have been giving me a real
hard time since you got busted again.

I didn't do anything wrong.

Sophie.

Besides, come on, they can't prove
anything.

So, I screw up again, I go to jail.

That's it.

I just want to say thank you very much.
I've enjoyed filling in for your coach

this week. She's feeling a lot better.
She'll be back tomorrow.

Oh, hey, Phoebe.

You were doing some nice playing out
there. You ought to go out with the

No, I'm not that good.

You've shown a lot of potential.

It'd be a shame to waste all that
talent. Why don't you think about it?

Okay. Okay.

Coach Simon, I really enjoyed your class
this week.

Thank you. I enjoyed being here.

Thanks. Good.

Bye -bye. Bye.

I thought they broke up last week. They
break up every week.

You said he was going to take her to
Lenny's party Saturday?

Uh -huh.

Are you going to Lenny's party with Rob,
Phoebe?

No, I've got something else to do
Saturday night.

Sure.

Phoebe's already got a date.

With her probation officer.

She's a great kid.

Mm -hmm.

Oh, by the way, she's a better than
average athlete. I recommend she go out

the volleyball team.

No, she doesn't expect a thing.

I've got to go. I'll talk to you later.

Hi,

Phoebe. I thought you were at lunch.

I wasn't hungry.

Were you just talking about me?

Yes, as a matter of fact, I was.

That was...

Coach Tekka, the volleyball team.

What am I not supposed to be suspicious
of?

Well, coming in to tell you, I really
don't think I want to.

I've never really been, I don't know,
competitive.

It's just a game, Phoebe. Games are
supposed to be fun. Have fun with it.

Sons, I've seen their team. They need
you.

Maybe. I don't know.

Thanks, Coach Simon.

Okay. Bye. Bye -bye.

Hi. Coach Techett, A .J. Simon.

Just fine. Thank you. Listen, I need a
real big favor.

Would you give Phoebe Glass a tryout for
the volleyball team?

Hey, how you doing, Phoebe?

I'm okay.

Guess what? They want me to go out for
the volleyball team.

That's great.

I always told you you were good at
sports.

See you.

Rob?

I miss you.

I swear to God I'm through with all that
stuff.

Phoebe.

The truth this time.

I'm glad.

Really? See, I've started seeing someone
else now. I didn't know.

Baby, I'm really proud of you.

I want to be friends.

I mean, special friends, huh?

I could really lose a friend right now.

I'll be right back.

Sure.

Hi. Going my way?

Yeah.

You all right? Everything okay?

Sure?

Mm -hmm.

You want to talk about anything?

No, it's kind of a long story.

Okay, but if you want to, I'm here.

Sometimes it helps if you've got
something on your mind.

Hey, Jay.

What in the world are you doing here?

Hi, Lieutenant Brown. What a pleasure.

Nice to see you again.

I'm teaching phys ed, of course. I'm
substituting this week. What brings you

here? Drug education class.

That's where I'm going.

Oh, it's a city project.

I visit a different high school each
week.

This is Phoebe Glass, by the way, one of
my students with Lieutenant Brown.

Hi. Used to coach your son in basketball
down at the Y.

Ah, yeah, right.

Maybe we can get together later and
talk.

Okay. All right? Thanks.

I guess I'll see you later.

Wonderful.

Bye. Bye -bye.

Nice to see you, Lieutenant.

Yeah, yeah.

Like a lot of kids, they aren't hooked
or anything. They just do drugs on

weekends for fun, you know.

They can handle it.

Well, it's not a question of just
handling it.

Every time you do a drug, you're cutting
yourself down. You're cutting down your

mind and your body.

After a while, it's not quite so much
fun anymore.

Then you find that you depend on the
drugs just to get yourself through the

Do you ever do drugs?

I know where you're going with this one.
That's that old phony argument.

If I do drugs, why shouldn't you? If I
don't... Well, then maybe if you don't

them, you shouldn't put them down.

Yeah.

Do you?

No. But that's not the point.

I'm not here to talk about me.

Come on, you guys. Just shut up and let
the man talk.

You know, I've had a few friends who've
had dropped two tabs of acid.

Change of reservation, will you?

Well, you have to ask yourself, is this
what I want to do?

You're the teachers and the doctors and
the parents of the future.

What kind of people are you going to be?

I mean, you do have the choice.

You can say no.

Hey, man.

Is it true you have narc spying on us in
school?

We have police wherever the laws are
being broken. And yes, we do have agents

the schools trying to stop the drug
trafficking because we worry about you.

Kids.

Yeah.

What's the matter, Phoebe?

You afraid there's a narc in here?

Nah. Phoebe already knows all the narcs
in our school.

You're crazy.

Am I?

No, Phil.

I could do a lot of damage if you're
calling out to the narc.

Tell me one thing.

Are you a narc or not?

No, I am not a narc.

But you're not really a coach, are you?

No.

Phoebe!

I'm sorry I ever got you involved, AJ.

What happened?

A little glass girl found out that A .J.
was checking up on her. She got made by

a 16 -year -old girl. Well, it's pretty
hard to fool kids, A .J. A lot tougher

than the adults we gotta cover. Well,
now she hates my guts.

Well, what'd you expect?

I wanted to be her friend. I wanted to
be somebody that she could trust.

There's only two things wrong with that.
First of all, you're an adult. And

second, you've been lying to her since
you've known her.

I haven't lied to her.

I'm not gonna leave her alone.

You hired him?

My own parents hired a detective to spy
on me? He did it as a personal favor.

I've known your mother and father for
years. How can there be laws against

Oh, you're very selective about the laws
you choose to have enforced.

When Sophie was arrested again... Daddy,
I don't do everything she does! Phoebe,

if Sophie is convicted of a second
offense, she may have to go to reform

Your parents don't want that to happen
to you.

Phoebe, trust me, you don't want to have
anything to do with juvenile detention.

Not... Just Sophie.

Your grades have been falling, and you
start to get withdrawn like you used to

be. And we wanted to avoid trouble with
the police.

I thought that maybe A .J. could just...
You just don't understand. Turn away

and shut us out.

Don't you get it? We were afraid for
you.

We love you.

You've got a funny way of showing it.

B .B.?

Phoebe? Look, I know how you must feel.

But you and I, we've gotten to know each
other.

How much did they pay you to be nice to
me?

Nobody pays me to be nice.

I guess Phoebe wasn't as clean as she
claimed.

Too bad the cops had to find it.

Must open her locker to get half the
school loaded.

Sorry.

That's okay.

I'm Jennifer. What's your name?

Phoebe. Nowhere. Me neither.

I can't believe that.

There's clear evidence that the locker
was broken into. There was an anonymous

tip that she was set up.

All right, right now, the most important
thing is the simplest.

If she calls, and the odds are she will,
she will probably call collect.

Collect?

Oh, does that mean that she's halfway
across the country by now?

Oh, no, no, no. Not necessarily so.

Kids that run away often stay near
familiar surroundings.

Still, one suburb to the next is a toll
call, even if it's right across the

street. So, when you accept that call,
be sure to ask the operator for time and

charges. And when Phoebe hangs up, you
stay on the line. The operator will be

able to give you the number that she
called from, and we can trace that right

away. You may have to argue with the
operator to get it. You may even have to

call the police and have them get it for
you. But don't give up.

am, are you?

Not yet.

No?

Help yourself.

No.

Are you a narc?

Look, I'm just a kid, okay?

Just like you.

Well, why don't you smoke this? It'll
make you feel a lot better.

Yo, Tal.

Hey, Tanner.

Hi. Don't hide me.

You only hide me when you want
something. I don't have time for hiding.

of here.

Okay.

Come back here.

Your dad tried to make me feel guilty.

What do you want?

Phoebe Glass.

The young lady I introduced you to over
at the high school.

He's a runaway.

It's all right, man.

Look, I don't know what I can do to help
you on this one right now.

Town, we're desperate.

Yeah, but I got a narcotics tab for us
on double shift. We're trying to figure

out who's about to put 60 kilos of
cocaine on the street.

Lieutenant! Yeah, all right.

Tell you what, why don't you check with
Spencer in juvenile? He's a good man.

You lose a kid?

Uh, yeah, we're private investigators.

We're looking for a 16 -year -old girl
named Phoebe Glass.

I've written down all the details you
need for your report, and that's a

photograph. How long has she been gone?

Since yesterday.

That's not very long. She could be
visiting with a friend.

No. We've checked all her friends.

She thinks she's running away from a
drug bust, but she's wrong.

Well, we'll put it in the national
computer.

If she's picked up anywhere, they'll
notify us. I have to be honest with you.

hope she comes back on her own.

or calls one of the runaway hotlines or
calls her parents, because if she

doesn't, odds are we're not going to
find her.

Look, we've distributed copies of her
picture to some of the local hangouts

at the bus station.

Yeah, the trailways give her a free ride
home if she gets in touch with the

police. Yeah.

Also, we've been trying to pinpoint some
of the... For survival, that's

generally the way they get it.

Hooking, pornography, drugs.

Not this girl.

She has too much common sense.

Yeah.

Jen, you ever call your parents?

Nah.

Pray they might answer.

Your old man ever jump you, Phoebe?

No. You're lucky.

That's when I started getting high.

But I couldn't get high enough to get
out of his reach.

Jen.

Jen.

Jen.

You all right?

You all right?

Crashing.

Drung out.

I know where we can get some downer.

Got any money left?

No. It's all gone.

What about deeds? I bet they, yeah.

I've exceeded my credit limit.

And he's not into taking it out on trade
anymore.

Says I'm no fun.

Two stones.

Guess I fell asleep with something, I
don't know.

I'm really hurting.

I need something.

I bet you've never met Phoebe.

Whoa.

Dee! Hey, Dee!

The princess died.

Who is your friend?

This is Phoebe.

She's okay.

Yeah, but you don't look okay, Jen.

You've got to be down with Dee.

Yeah, I'm looking at her.

You need money, Jen?

Not for me.

It's for Phoebe.

Take it easy, girl. Take it easy. I'm
all right.

Uh -uh.

Come on.

Come on, let's talk about it.

Come on.

Nice kitty.

ways are never found.

They are never found.

Where's she gonna sleep tonight?

You feeling good, lady?

Listen, why don't you go to the donut
shop? I got to take care of a little

business here.

All right?

I'll meet you back at Vine Street when
you're finished.

I don't know what else you need.

Yeah, lady, come on.

Make yourself a rainbow.

How beautiful.

And their beauty is more than skin deep.

Three kilos each.

No problem with customs, right?

No, they like to get the live stuff out
in a hurry.

Yeah, but how long have the snakes been
carrying around the merchandise?

About a week now.

They'll pass through their systems and
out sometime tonight.

Hi.

Be careful. They're poisonous.

Look, honey.

Where? Not... Honey, look at me.

We're not quite finished yet, all right?

Why don't you go see if you can find
Jen, all right? She's probably with

Okay. Okay?

See you later. Yeah, you'll see me
later.

No problem, Donovan.

She's okay. Phoebe's no problem.

Deeds, if that girl connects me to your
coat for sex jams, you're right.

I enjoyed your class.

Hooking, pornography, drugs. How much
did they pay you to be nice to me?

How much did they pay you?

Phoebe, I am so sorry.

God, please let it be all right.

Morning. Hi, how'd you make out?

Cruised every beach from Del Mar to
Rosarito.

Nothing.

Been through every mall and slum and
abandoned building in San Diego County.

Not even a lead.

Now, you know, an hour after she split,
she could have been out of town.

Next day, Seattle, Phoenix.

Any one of a thousand places.

AJ, we just can't cover the entire
Continental Uniteds.

Okay.

Let's go. We got work to do.

I don't even know where to look.

Everywhere we've already looked and then
some.

We got to check in with her parents and
Spencer.

We're going to have to locate you a
razor.

Come on.

Let's do it.

Yes, operator, I'll accept.

Matt, he speaks.

Hi, Mom.

Hi, Phoebe. Are you all right?

Yeah, sure, I'm all right.

Where are you, honey?

I can't tell you.

Phoebe, we want you to come home.

Tell us where you are. We'll come and
get you.

No. Honey, the police know the drugs in
the locker weren't yours.

Do you understand? They don't want to
arrest you. You can come home.

I don't trust you.

Why would I lie?

Because, Daddy, you've lied before.

Phoebe, I'd do anything to get you off
the streets, even lie.

But this is the truth.

I swear it.

Phoebe, are you okay?

You're not doing any drugs, are you?

No, no.

No drugs.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God, I forgot.

charges. No, it's all right.

It's all right, really. We have a friend
at the phone company.

Get Bruno on the phone.

Mrs. Glass.

Mrs. Glass, please.

It will take us a few hours, but we can
still trace the call.

But if she does call again, make sure
you get time and charges, okay? Bruno,

Rick.

All right, you can't be too far away.

Hi, we're looking for a runaway girl who
used his phone a few hours ago.

Check out Vine.

I saw her talking to the guy who runs
the Vine Street Arcade. Thank you. Down

there.

Like my kind of place. You just kind of
hang loose, keep your eyes peeled.

Hey, pal.

You need any help?

Just window shopping.

There's no sign I've heard of her.
There's a guy inside. Seems to know a

kids Phoebe's age. Well, let's go see on
the way to death. Hey, hey, hey. All

right. Good idea.

Maybe later.

Our best shot is to just watch the place
and see if she shows up.

Don't you think?

Rick, you got her.

Don't worry, Phoebe. I'll get Bobby.
We'll find you.

It's me.

Folks, that's it.

Show's over.

No! They're not my brother!

It's all right.

No. It's okay, Phoebe.

Okay. All right. I can't go home like
this.

All right, AJ, there's a coffee shop
right up here. Let's get some food into

her.

You don't understand.

More than I ever let you know. Can I
borrow some ketchup?

Sure. No, sir.

Anyway, I was right on the edge when I
shipped out to NAMM.

One thing I'd never done, though, was
drug.

But in the dang, I was dope everywhere.

And at least half a dozen real good
excuses every day to get loaded.

Basically, just, you know...

Took a little of the edge off the war
for a little while.

And I was just about ready to really get
into that scene.

I headed up a fire team over there.

One day we were on a recon, and I'd sent
out our point man, a guy named Stanton.

And his job primarily was to spot the
enemy first, keep us informed.

Wait for it.

We, uh... We cleared the jungle after.

Just a few miles.

I still don't know what he was on, but
he was really out of it.

He had, uh... Taken up a position.

Started firing.

On us.

He, uh... Hit three of us.

Killed one.

God.

What happened to him?

I shot him.

I thought too much about doing dope
after that.

Skin is breathing.

I can see the air going in and getting
out of your skin.

Oh, my God, I can see your bones.

Hey! All right, AJ.

Come on, calm down.

All right, AJ. Calm down now. Get a hold
of yourself now.

AJ, come on.

Come on, calm down.

No. Easy.

What?

What'd you do?

That's just popular. Really dusty.

No. AJ.

AJ, come on.

No, no.

AJ. AJ.

Somebody get out of here.

Get me an ambulance!

You know what the scariest part of all
is?

What?

If I'd had a, you know, a real knife, I
would have done the same thing.

I would have come at you different, you
know, neutralize the arm.

He would have killed you.

That's the power of... Ah,

yeah, they did a CAT scan at the
hospital last night.

Worried about brain damage.

Thank God everything seems...

Reasonably in place.

I had to choke him out.

You ready for that? I had to choke out
my own brother.

You know who did it?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

Little two -bit piece of scum down at
the beach.

He must have grabbed Phoebe when I was
trying to get A .J. under control.

All the kids down there answer to a guy
named Ede that passes out drugs to kids

in return for whatever favors they're
willing to exchange.

Cocaine. For starters.

We might be working on the same case.

He runs a combination arcade and exotic
pet shop.

We've got the place staked out, but I
doubt if he's going to show.

One.

Two. Three.

Damn it.

Cops all over the place.

And I told Deeds.

I told him his old street whore was
going to bring us down.

We're going to have to do something
about her.

I'm in charges, please.

Stay on the line, please.

Phoebe?

Mom.

I want to come home.

Mom.

Phoebe?

Phoebe!

Operator? I'll get Rick and A .J. on the
other line. I've received a call from a

runaway child. You must give me the
number that she's calling from. One

please.

I told you to get some.

I don't feel.

Hey.

Look.

See, I got something that's going to
make you feel better.

Why don't you take down a little trick?

Come on, Deeds. I didn't know that you
wanted to go home.

We'll be there as soon as we can.

All right, here it is. The phone's at
1227 Brighton. It's just a few blocks

9th Street. Bye -bye.

She isn't there.

These two guys are new.

They took Phoebe.

Thank you.

Wait for us, all right? Break in.

We can.

Excuse me?

Where is she?

Oh, man.

I haven't got time to live.

How much of this stuff is too much?

Stop these guys. They're trying to kill
me.

It's a damn shame I got here too late to
see what happened.

All right, all right.

They got a chopper.

They land up the beach, North County.

All right, get on the horn to downtown
Brown Narcotic Task Force. Spencer,

the... Where'd the girl go?

I'm Charlie 17.

I'll take the lead. Follow me. Roger
that.

Vincent,

do you read me?

Roger. Have downtown ground go to tack
one.

Not yet

Put it down.

They're all yours. All right, everybody
get out of the car.

Come on, get out of there.

Put your hands over your head.

Get them up over your head.

Problem, officer.

Just taking a young friend for a little
ride. Yeah, say this before, all right?

Oh, I will. I will.

Friends,

why don't you sing him a song?

You have the right to remain silent. If
you give up that right, anything you say

can and will be used against you in a
court of law. You have the right to

with an attorney and to have the
attorney during questioning.

If you so desire and... I cannot afford
one.

Come on back. An attorney will be
appointed. Phoebe?

What's wrong?

I'll tell you what's wrong. It's this
dream rap of yours.

Your life has changed overnight.

It won't happen again, I promise.

I've learned my lesson.

Honest. Look, we don't doubt you. We
know you mean it.

I just want you to... And you'll be
clean. And as soon as you face some real

stress, you'll be high again and back on
that roller coaster.

But there are some new programs that can
help you flush those drugs out of your

system. And I can help you get into one.

Then you gotta get back into society.

That could be harder than kicking the
drugs.

Sophie and all the other druggies,
they're gonna be out there, all the same

pressures as before, and they won't
change.

You don't have to do it alone, Phoebe.

Hey, look at it this way. You're already
one of the lucky ones.

A lot of kids never make it back at all.

Yeah.

I know what you mean.
