In this dirty old part of the city, where the sun refused to shine,

people tell me there ain't no reason to shine.

Now my girl, you're so young and pretty,

and one thing I know is true,

you're gonna die before your turn. This is what I know.

Watch my mama in bed at night.

Watch her up in 23.

She's been walking and slaying her life away.

Yes, I know it.

She's been working so hard.

I've been working too late.

Everything I've been doing.

Now my girl, you're so young and pretty.

And one thing I know is truly, you're going to die before your

time. And you're going to die before your time.

Watch my mama in bed tonight.

Watch her hair be...

Thank you.

It was.

I got to go out.

Door locked behind you.

Well, well.

I'm in honor of you.

To what do we owe the honor?

Is this girl a client?

Medical examiner's on his way out. He's going to write her opinion if she's dead

or not.

Tell me what you think.

No. Not dead?

Pretty fucked up, though.

Not a client.

Ah. So, uh, what do you hear at a traffic fatality?

What are you?

What do I what?

Homicide detective at a traffic fatality. How come?

Well, I'll tell you if you tell me something.

Shoot. Well, uh, you're unattached.

Why won't you see me socially?

This is social.

She's not a clown.

And Marty, I like girls.

How do you always say that?

She doesn't have an appointment. She's wondering if she could have a brief

interview right now.

Yeah, sure.

And you can cancel tomorrow's appointment with me in the botany.

Should I charge her for the canceled appointment?

She didn't cancel. She withdrew.

I'll tell you later.

Come on in.

I'm sure he is.

How do you know?

Nobody ever comes in here saying that when everything's okay.

Want my opinion?

I'm a private investigator, but on a first interview, I do advice for the

ones, and it's free.

Either ignore the affair, or bring it up with your boyfriend in a non -hostile

way. Wine and flowers, honest discussion, honest about each other's

desires, so forth.

The one thing you don't want to do is...

Pay me a hundred bucks an hour to learn something we both already know.

No, I have to know.

I'm saying you do know. I need to know specifics.

Who, where, when.

I need to be able to rub it in his face.

Rub it in his lying bastard face.

Want something I can feed you?

I already had lunch.

Dinner.

I'm fine. I brought some grapefruit.

Thanks, but the kids won't eat them. They won't eat anything that isn't

They're yellow.

The outside is yellow.

Honey, will you marry me?

I can't marry you, Dizzy. You're not old enough.

Where's my partner? Well, when I'm older, will you marry me?

Even then, there's a law against it. What's the law?

People can't marry the ranch.

That's bullshit! Why?

Because our kids would be your sons and daughters, but they'd also be your

nephews and nieces.

And it gets you confusing.

I could keep track of it.

But we can't break the law. We can hide.

We can go live in the forest.

There isn't any forest.

Not a strip of shade between here and Bakersfield. Don't talk down where he

lives. I'm not. I'm just saying there's no trees.

How do you ever feed them fresh fruit?

I feed them like a leaf.

Parenting is not rocket science. I'll eat it, honey.

Let me peel it for you.

Yeah. You take my car, do you, Knoxville? Nobody should tell you how to

Don't call your brother that.

Say hello to your mom. My mom?

Shut up, Knoxville. Are you a minor? Shut up.

You came home before three in the morning. You could sleep at night. Mom,

is this? Say hello, honey.

I didn't wash the sheets.

You didn't have time. Mom! Oh, God! Glenn!

Glenn! Glenn! You didn't have time.

You can wash them.

Me? Yes, you, Corinne. Oh, my God.

She's menstruating.

It's just a condition. A condition?

Oh, my God.

It's fine.

Dizzy. Every woman menstruates. Oh, my God. You don't menstruate, do you,

They're excited about their new brother.

They don't even notice the siblings they already have.

You want another one?

Don't tell me how to parent.

If you think this is spicy, just to help.

I'm not telling you how to parent. I'm asking you.

How many in a pack?

Thank you, Nanny.

You are the light.

Yeah, you are the light.

Lower.

It won't go lower.

Keep it lower.

No, no, no.

The point is for me to see your bosom jouncing while we have fellowship.

Yeah, you are the light. Keep it left.

My left or your left? We're facing the same way, God damn it.

I'm sorry, Riffling Thru, you aren't being very clear. Should I just... What?

Coming up with a shipment with little Joey.

All of a sudden he starts frothing out the mouth like a fucking rabbit. Wait,

wait, wait, wait.

Big little Joey or little Joey? A junior, little Joey.

Okay. So he's frothing out the mouth like Mr.

Bubble and all of a sudden he stops frothing and screaming and he's dead.

He's dead?

He's dead.

And where is this?

In the cab of the truck. Yes.

Where's the truck?

We were in Long Beach, thereabouts, and I just finished driving, and I didn't

know what else to do, quite frankly.

Is he still dead?

Yeah, well, what do you mean, Reverend? I mean, I think he's still dead. That's

my guess. That's not going to change.

So why'd you have to interrupt this?

Well, uh, uh, sorry.

Sorry, I apologize, man. Should I? No, no, it's all right.

I'll come out.

He's got you.

No! No!

Charlie! Charlie!

Charlie! Charlie!

Charlie! Charlie!

Charlie! Charlie! Charlie! Charlie! Charlie!

Charlie! Charlie! Charlie! Charlie!

Did you know he was using, using our matter?

Because it was not his matter to use. It's the church's.

This is God's punishment.

This will be done.

And if I thought for one second that you were using the matter, doing it with

him, taking our matter, our church's matter.

It's not my style, Reverend.

I thought he was a temple.

Where the hell is he going?

Back to the Walmart.

Hello,

Elle.

Aaron Aaron?

He says he is.

How you doing, honey?

I haven't seen you in a while.

Didn't go and get sober, did you?

I wouldn't do that.

And don't.

First step on a slippery slope.

Stop drinking.

Start exercising.

Have sex with men.

Love what we're up against.

Take it from me, honey.

I've been there.

The lost years.

Hey, I'll turn to you. I'll see you in a minute.

Want a drink?

New somewhere?

No, thanks.

Can you tell me about this woman, Amanda Button?

Well,

I was pretty angry at her when she didn't show up for her shift Tuesday, so

I found out you... Dead?

Pretty good excuse for missing work, so I'm the dope.

Yeah, I'm a dick.

Mad at a poor dead woman.

People can always find a way to put you in the wrong. Yeah, dead people. The

worst. She don't want nothing.

Do, but I can't right now.

Is she working here long?

Hardly nothing at all a week.

Want to show you money?

No, never even met her.

Called that she was afraid of something the cops couldn't have the risk.

They were supposed to move here the day after they checked.

Yeah, well, you can't help her now.

Yeah. Yeah, lousy.

She called for help and said I'd help.

Couldn't help her real problem.

Taking courage too fast.

Uh -huh.

Well, how what?

Cop said it was an accident.

I don't know what to tell you. Lived in Lamont.

That all I know.

You sleep with her?

Me? No.

A little too pleasant.

I don't like a positive person. She's mild, you know.

Like that, though.

Yeah, give it that.

You wanted to stay here when you come up. You couldn't stay at my place.

No.

Everything okay?

Oui.

But they're unhappy.

Le peuple.

Who's not happy?

Le peuple.

Oh, oh.

Well, uh...

Why not?

We're doing well.

We're all doing well. They're getting their share.

They think we are doing not too good, maybe.

We are going to be doing more better this time or not, maybe.

Someone who makes a few people dead.

Jesus Christ, that wasn't my fault.

That people bring police, etc.

They don't care about fault.

Someone happens to die in some accident that has nothing to do with our

business. That's not going to ruin my day.

Haven't the people ever heard of God's plan?

I do appreciate you helping with this.

This means there won't be any police.

I would tell them a good plan, but I don't know.

They are from very secular.

Honey O'Donohue, to what do we owe the honor? That woman there, okay?

That one?

There was only one.

Yeah, and the coroner confirmed she was PFD.

Huh? Pretty fucking dead.

Yeah, I remember you didn't have an opinion.

Hey, what are you doing tonight?

Book clubs.

Do you have an address for her?

The dead girl?

I like books.

What was the last book you read, Marty?

Uh... Yeah, what was the one?

Uh... Hey, M .G., will you give Honey our address in Novotny, the dead girl in

Antelope Canyon?

All right, thanks.

Hey, what's your connection?

You never said.

No, I didn't.

Well, MG's got the address. Let me know if you can find anything.

She lived with her mother.

Mother's a pain in the ass. She won't tell you nothing.

We're in for traffic fatality. Speeding on the curve.

I don't know why you don't like me. I'm a good guy.

Address you wanted?

Thanks, MG.

Anytime. Honey, right?

Love those quick -clacking heels.

My breath is numb.

Mr. Culligan?

Yeah? This?

Not the tape.

Believe me.

Mr. Culligan, I got your order.

Thank you.

Well?

I have it.

You're supposed to pay. And for the last order.

Look,

I have a tab.

This is not a street deal.

I know nothing about that. I'm supposed to get money, and they said that for the

last order you didn't pay, so... Are you the accounting department?

Listen to me.

I have a date. This is for a party. I'm busy.

Can I please have the order?

You're supposed to pay... Hello?

Speak English?

I don't have the money on me.

Just let me have it, and I'll pay you the next time I order.

For right now, I'll suck your cock.

Just to make it right.

They should be winning.

I'm not collecting anything and I don't want your money.

Your daughter called me the day before she passed away.

You don't know why she might have called me?

Ella.

She don't know.

Ma 'am?

I really don't. I mean, who calls a private detective?

Somebody got a cheating spouse or what? I don't know.

Mia didn't have no spouse and no steady.

I don't know.

I truly don't.

Detective, that's the craziest thing.

Someone from this family calling a detective?

It's like calling a cable company when you ain't got any cable.

Why on earth would you do such a thing?

I told you.

She don't know.

them self -help books.

I think it was that car.

She was a good driver.

I think it was a malfunction.

She just brought it in for malfunction.

Just brought it in.

Had to leave it at the shop and ride the bus into town.

We do not ride the bus.

We are not cheap Christmas trash.

We are homeowners.

You ride the bus, Ray?

Hell no.

I drive.

We drive.

We do not ride the bus.

Well, it's all right to fix and give it back to her, but you know your mechanic

will take advantage of you.

That's widely known.

That was from her church in town.

Don't know which one she went to.

She never wore that in the house.

But action ungoverned is not action in service of the Lord.

Action must connect to submission.

And submission is not passive.

And action is not unbridled.

Only when we submit vigorously to the will of God do we serve Him.

We submit and yet we act.

We act and yet we submit.

Even to the desire of the body do we submit actively and so serve the Lord.

Now you all know what a piece of macaroni does.

What does a piece of macaroni do?

We serve the temple through action. We serve the temple through submission.

We do not serve the temple by sitting there like macaroni.

Now you all know who the Pharisees were.

Pharisees were high and mighty.

So they thought they knew the law right down to the letter.

And that made them holy.

with the keys, man.

Okay.

Couldn't really get a description out of him. He was very upset.

Upset? Well, I guess he was if the guy was all gunked up in his tire tread.

He cleaned his tires. He cleaned his whole car.

Yes, I know, but that doesn't make the dead guy go away.

No, yeah.

Malcolm Wilson's still in the parking lot.

Well, the French are not going to like this.

The French?

Don't worry about it. It's above your pay grade.

I mean, I have to worry about it.

So no one saw Hector and the guy?

Only the bartender.

Okay.

Well.

Well, we gotta kill him.

Okay. Wow.

Okay. Well, I'll find out where he lives.

You don't know where he lives?

How would I know where he lives?

Hector?

What's wrong with Hector?

Who the fuck do you think we're talking about? The bartender.

Why the fuck? would we kill the bartender and he talked to the police

Trabajo de una mujer. Ay, sí, pero usted trabaja muchísimo.

Dame un besito.

Te amo.

Yo también te amo. Vaya a sentarse. Ya vengo.

No, no, no. Escucha.

Trabajo de una mujer.

Lo amo tanto que ya sabes.

A mí me tiene bien.

My idea just works.

for your loss.

Seems you were right.

The bartender said your partner had a date.

So it wasn't with his assailant.

Your appointment with the Gramercy?

Oh, yes.

And they don't know who did it?

No, not yet.

And you don't know who his date was with?

To be honest, they hadn't started working on it.

I don't think there's any point in pursuing that now, is there, Mr.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I think it's best if we let sleeping dogs lie.

I'll let you know if there's any progress on the police investigation of

partner's passing.

Perhaps you have a friend or a clergyman who can help you grieve.

Computers.

Thanks, I've got a system.

Can you give me a number for MG Falcone? I don't have it.

Call the precinct.

Personal number.

You ever just go home and read a book?

Number.

Tequila and... Just tequila.

Unusual.

Listening to people complain.

Waiting for 5 o 'clock.

Seriously?

Well... Not much time at work.

Had to clean these backpack hills.

The day before that client died.

The woman in Antelope Canyon?

Yeah. No more client want to go to her house?

Nothing else to do.

No more hobbies?

You mean like... Like dead things?

Yeah. Do you?

Have a hobby? Yeah. Yeah.

What do you do?

What do I do?

I knit.

You knit?

Yeah.

Right now, I'm knitting the periodic table that I want to hang on the

wall.

If only I could get one.

Oh, no knitting though.

Crochet.

Crochet is a kind of knitting.

No, actually.

Crochet is crochet.

I love first date stuff.

I'm ready to get out of here.

Before we get arrested.

We're getting to know each other?

I couldn't go home, honey.

You know, Mom would just freak out and say, I told you so.

She hates Mickey so much.

Yeah. Look, son, your parents are right. It doesn't happen much.

Yeah, but I don't need to hear it from her.

Your boyfriend beats you up, and I'm not going to tell your mother? No, I'm...

Dad, you know she's just in my shit so much already.

She hasn't had your shit enough.

She's just yelling at me, honey.

I mean, look at me.

I need support right now. I don't need that.

Please, honey, why does Mom have to know?

You know she's just going to get down and call the cops.

The cops already know.

I need a cup, Corinne.

They don't all look like Plum of Finland. Oh, God.

Oh, my God. We don't have to make it official, do we?

Mickey doesn't mean anything by it. He loves me. He just needs mood.

Your face didn't get pushed in by mood, honey doll.

Suit yourself.

I gotta get dressed.

Sweetie.

I should tell your mother, but I won't. If you promise not to see that creep

again. Yeah, no.

No, of course I won't. She's lying. No, I'm not!

She put up a fight.

That's the right amount.

That's Mia's robe you asked about. That's who buys it around here.

Four -way couple.

That's very direct.

See, they're fine.

God loves us free.

You like free love.

Good luck.

Oh, God, I don't. I'm not a pervert.

I'm glad you're free.

Carrie, you're going to slide back towards me, and you're going to make

sound actively through my mouth, ready to stay with your daughter in the sacred

contact, and move now.

You do it, you do it!

Hatcher, not in the sacristy!

Big help you were.

He's still there.

So, uh, he's been there for three hours.

With one cup of coffee.

I think the leader hasn't had a coffee.

He's, like, homeless.

And it's rapey.

Welcome to Wiener. Heaven may take your order.

Give me a second.

A what?

A session. Give me a second. I'm looking at each other.

I'll have the... Take your time, sir.

He's still there.

Just look.

He's just so much, you know, creepy.

Okay, I'll have the, uh, I'll have the combo.

Which combo, sir?

The wiener combo.

They're all wiener combos, sir.

What does she want?

Talk to you is what she said.

About what?

Should I tell her to fuck off?

No, no. You don't tell people to fuck off. That's above your pay grade.

I tell people to fuck off. You want to run the church?

People would love that.

Let me hear your fucking sermon, poor son. Let me hear your thoughts on

divinity. Are you kidding me?

Know who you are. Know who you are.

So should I... You should shut the fuck up while I think.

Okay, boss.

It's kind of hot, boss.

Mia.

That's what it is.

That's what what is.

You're interested.

I wonder what could possibly bring a private investigator to our little

Well, it's me and Devani.

Did you know her personally? Private investigator.

And so attractive.

Did you know her personally?

Have dealings with her?

Mia? Pastoral dealings? Sure.

We're a large congregation, but not that large.

I consider all my dealings personal.

Uh -huh.

But I am puzzled, miss.

Ma 'am.

Miss? Just don't call me late for dinner.

Puzzled why?

Well, because it was a traffic fatality.

It's a tragic thing, a terrible thing, but why is a private investigator

into it?

Because I am looking into it, yes. Isn't that what private investigators do?

On TV, maybe.

What can you tell me about it? Heavily.

It's a point of pride.

What can you tell me about it?

You will not discuss this over a drink.

No. This is business.

What can you tell me about it? After business.

Tuesdays I dry out.

What can you tell me about her? Are you aware of any troubles she was in?

Today is Wednesday.

Today is Tuesday.

Yes.

Can you help me, sir?

Are you aware of any troubles she was in?

Mia was in the same trouble we're all in. She was lost.

She was seeking.

She was seeking.

I'm not really after that kind of information.

Why are you starting to agree?

An unusual reason.

Not so unusual.

I have a calling.

I help people.

Which I drink.

Judge not, Miss O'Donohue.

You're fascinating.

And you haven't even seen the riddle tattooed on my ass.

This sex thing of yours, does it interfere with your calling?

Does yours?

No. I keep the sex and the work separate.

Well, my lord.

Experience involves the whole person.

Does it involve addressing the whole person?

I've seen the women's wardrobe, and it seems very different from the men's.

Women everywhere have a wardrobe different from men's. Now, I thought we

talking about media.

Now, I like her.

She was a beautiful girl.

I like people.

I can tell that you don't.

I help people because I need you.

I see a need, and I feel it. You see a need, and you avoid it. You don't know

that.

I see a need in you.

I need to judge.

I see you judging me right now and that's okay. I forgive you.

It's your way of shutting me out.

I could help you with that, you know.

Help you open yourself up to people.

Why not open yourself up? See what happens.

You got nothing to lose but your fears.

Thanks.

I'll stick with my dildo.

It helps me open my mouth and it doesn't have a creeper test.

See you tomorrow.

I don't usually do all that until the third date.

I don't usually get to a third date.

Next time we're off the map.

Sorry, I might have left some lipstick down there.

It's okay.

It's the only place I wear it.

I had a partner once.

Lasted a couple months, but I had to end it because after sex, she'd weep.

I've had that.

Why do they weep?

I never asked her.

I knew whatever she said would piss me off.

Guess I want the whole mortgage part.

And you only want the one thing.

My father used to hit me for my table manners.

Well, he hit me all the time.

Always trying to beat something into me.

He had cops too?

Military.

Same shit.

War hero.

Had to deal with the whole lesbian thing.

Never had to bother overseas.

Being a hero, it would not have gone over well.

Years.

Same.

Not synthetic.

Still around though somewhere, looking for other people to fuck up, I'm sure.

Let's do it again.

Don't worry, I'll leave after.

You know I could make you coffee, assistant.

Do that.

I don't regret General Young's living.

We all share this little... mall.

Gee, I feel bad to start buying bear claws.

How'd it go?

Kind of a creep.

Maybe just a creep, maybe more than a creep.

Wouldn't cry if they'd call me to cut to the charity.

Who knows?

Good job. You didn't figure shit out.

So, Donna, you... Sure,

Heidi. Right here.

What's up?

Have I heard today? No.

When did she leave?

For work.

God damn it. She promised me she wouldn't see that creep again. I'll go

there.

I saw her.

She and Mickey had a fight. I'm sorry. I should have told you I saw her.

What? Why did she go to you?

She... I don't know. I'm sure she just didn't want to get yelled at. What are

you looking for? Who could you do that to?

You're not her mother.

Sorry, I...

Oh, you get back in, you fucking coward.

Fuck, who are you? I told you, concerned relative.

Ant, when's the last time you saw her? Fuck you, you cunt.

Not cunt.

Ant, A -U -N -T.

Every time you hear me say Ant, I'm gonna break something.

When's the last time you saw her?

Kudos, I haven't seen her in two days. Haven't seen her since you beat her up?

Yes. No!

I love you.

No, it's not her.

I'll call you back.

I just want things to be different between us now.

So you don't want to beat me anymore?

I never wanted to beat you.

Oh, my mistake.

Me, Heidi, and Mom, we all thought you were trying to hit us.

Look, I'm sorry, honey. Okay, I wasn't ready to be a father or a

husband, but I am now.

I've done a lot of work on myself.

A little late, Mom's dead.

Yeah, but I could still be a father.

And the grandfather, you know, I tried talking to Karen.

Who's Karen?

Heidi. Corinne?

Corinne, yes.

When did you see her?

Last night.

Where? What did she say?

Nothing. She didn't say anything. She just turned and ran when she saw me. I

mean, why would she run away from me?

I don't know, Dad. Sometimes kids are suspicious of old men who look like sex

offenders.

I never touched you that way.

I think he looked like a sex offender.

Why wouldn't he talk to me? Why won't you?

What did you do?

At her work and then after at the bus stop.

And she just looked at me and ran when she saw me. I mean, all I wanted to do

was talk.

All I wanted to do was talk to you. Why are you so hard?

Training. Oh, honey.

You're just hitting me back.

And that's not right either.

You know, you're going to feel bad when I'm dead if you leave it like this.

You're going to feel so sad when I'm dead if you don't let me connect with

You're just going to feel bad when I'm dead. You're going to feel so bad when

I'm dead.

You're already dead.

Nothing anyone told you?

I'm afraid I'm so high.

I have no hope.

I will die.

Thank you.

You know like this one?

They're all pretty much the same.

You called an hour ago.

You asked for yourself?

God, I'm going to give it to him. Of course not. But he said it was about me

a lot of me.

Make me a coffee, will you?

Coffee?

What about General Yum?

Fuck General Yum.

Okay, now I'm confused.

Hi, I'm a tackle witch.

Hi, Marty. Honey, how down are you?

Oh, hey, Dom.

Look, can I call you right back? What's it sell?

Yeah, call me at the office.

What could I have yourself?

Don't have one. You carry around a bag of quarters with a pay phone.

You think you had something on the girl in Antelope Canyon?

Yeah, all right, be that way. Yeah, we got the coroner's report in.

Uh -huh. And?

Well, first of all, he agreed that this girl is dead. I remember you weren't

totally sold on that.

Uh -huh. I beg your pardon?

All right, well, you remember how tore up she was, right? And it turns out that

some of the lacerations are not consistent with car crash.

What does that mean?

She's got a dad and stuff in the car, I guess. I know what it means, but what

does it mean?

I don't know.

I'm not a deep thinker, but I will tell you we had another stabbing homicide

yesterday.

A woman?

Elderly woman. Double homicide.

My other victim wasn't just stabbed. His head was all squashed to shit, but he

had an idea on him.

Some guy who works for a church, if you can believe it.

Four -way church?

Yeah. How'd you know?

I'm a detective.

Yeah, well, so am I, but I actually have to make a phone call to figure that

out. Hey, you know what?

Maybe we should get together and we'll compare notes. We'll talk about

things. What are you doing tonight?

Book club.

About three days ago.

We meet a lot. Tough books, don't they ask you?

I do appreciate it, though, Marty. You're my favorite man.

Ah, Christ. I mean, well, maybe we could... Non -yum coffee.

I don't know what I'm thinking.

Do you?

Do I know what you're thinking?

Quite possibly.

There are all eight balls on my mother's side.

So this girl Mia.

I never met her, but I can picture her.

A little lost, a little confused, a little fucked up.

Like Corinne?

No. Corinne has more balls.

But there's this guy that picks on her once or less once in a while.

Sad ones.

Creep at the church?

And he goes there?

No.

I mean, I wouldn't have thought so.

And if he's been attacked, they're vulnerable, they can't relate to you at

Where do you go?

They're sending out signals, come here, come here, come here.

Have you been hit enough times you've gone there?

Maybe. Or maybe you go to a bar.

Yeah, maybe you go to the mall and the movies are rolling.

So maybe.

Stupid American.

Like missionary positions?

Yes!

I'm burning like a... How do you say?

Fire? Shut up!

Do it.

what you want.

So what made you change your mind?

About me?

About us?

You know, doing it.

I thought you should be able to come.

One last time?

We won't do it again.

You will not.

The French, they are not happy.

Who?

Suspicious activity.

You haven't described any suspicious activity.

The gunshot.

Not the noise.

The noise is not an activity.

Someone firing the gun would be an activity. If someone fired a gun, it

car backfiring. A car backfiring? That is right.

When's the last time you heard a car backfiring?

What does that have to do with anything?

A car backfiring isn't a real thing anymore. I didn't realize it was a thing

people still said until you said it. Well, I'm old school.

Maybe you should acknowledge what century it is. This is from someone who

paper. I don't use paper. Oh, really?

Okay. Marty, okay, I'm trying to scratch your back here. Remember how I was

supposed to scratch your back? Oh, I remember.

You find out what kind of hanky -panky is going on on this plate. There's a

feather in your cap.

I busted into a house of cops for no reason, and they had a feather in my

It's my ass in a fling.

What do you care anyway? Why were you there?

My niece is missing.

File a report.

What does she have to do with the church?

I'm not sure.

You're not building a very strong case, are you, Donahue?

Fine. Forget about it, Marty.

I tried to help you.

M .G., any way that you could give me a... Can I help you?

No. Sorry, I was looking for M .G. Falcone.

Should I come to her shed?

Did she party last night?

Something I can do?

No, thanks.

Because she's the one cop who might help me.

Okay, well, city registry says that's her address.

Okay, good work.

Why didn't you have it?

Never been there and she isn't answering her phone.

Thanks, I'm almost there.

It was open. Maybe I shouldn't have come in. I rang.

I was in the basement. I didn't hear.

How'd you find this?

Covered door, needs a plane.

See, you found my yearbook.

Those are always funny, huh?

Yeah.

But you never want your date to see. Sorry.

Quit apologizing.

Why didn't you call?

I did.

Phone's off.

Is it?

Ah, yes.

Oh, you called a couple of times.

It's my niece.

She's missing.

I was hoping maybe you could help somehow, unofficially.

I know this is crazy, but you sure that hot dog place on Irvine?

Mm -hmm. And her bus stopped to go home.

She would have been there around the time that you were coming home.

You didn't see her.

No.

Something wrong?

I was wondering the same thing.

It's a little awkward, isn't it?

You come to my place?

I tried to call. No, it isn't that.

I know how this place looks.

MG. You don't have to. It's old.

It's the house I grew up in.

My mother died when I was a kid, and I told you, my father.

With what I make, I could have either...

rented a closet somewhere, or stayed here.

I don't care. It doesn't define me.

Listen to me. M .G.

I don't write for Al Decor. Who cares?

So you say.

But you were a little squirrely when I walked in.

Sorry. I exactly... Sorry! Sorry!

You think someone's hot, everything about them's exciting, and then...

Second or third date, they open their mouth, say something lame, and whoa,

where'd that come from?

I don't know this person at all. How could I have fucked her?

Pussy remorse.

It's pretty hard to get rid of once it gets you.

Who the fuck would live here?

No. Yes.

I know what I see.

Pussy remorse.

A little too much Bakersfield here?

A little too real?

And I'm a Dutchess.

I'm from here, too.

You want a cup of tea?

No.

I had company.

Yeah, I had company.

A daddy!

Anyone who wants to be a victim should get what they want.

They're part of the problem. Anyone who lets their boyfriend beat her up...

Just like your niece.

Women who go to that church are nothing but victims.

That's like the advertising for victims.

Come here. Come here. Let me fuck you. Let me beat you.

That's what she went for.

Submission, honey.

She wanted a beating. She let it happen.

Did you let your father beat you? Yeah.

But then I didn't find him.

I stood up.

He tried to do something.

That's a butter knife, honey.

This was my dad.

Wasn't really a war hero.

He died standing right where you are.

Stab wounds.

A lot of stab wounds.

Then I put him in the car. Lit it up. Fire cooked him all the way.

This place is a fire trap.

No sprinklers.

Not up to code.

It's old and sad, isn't it, girlfriend?

They won't look for stab wounds on you either.

and we're not doing shit socially.

Mom called your office and found out where you were.

And we were both there.

That was weird.

Hey, honey?

Are you menstruating?

Hey, O'Donoghue, to what do we owe the honor?

Thought you might be able to tell me about the cold cases.

Well, we only found the two hookers so far. Might be all there is.

Sex workers.

The sex hookers, yeah.

You found one in Palmdale?

And another in Lancaster.

A year and a half ago and two and a half ago.

Stabbings. We showed M .G.'s picture around. People knew these girls had seen

her. Oh.

And your gal in Antelope Canyon. That makes three stabbings.

And M .G.'s father.

15 -year -old bashes, who knows?

MG says she did it, we'll believe her.

I'm a cop.

Hey, honey, you get the cap and a brave man award for that head shot.

I mean, right in the fucking forehead, nothing but net.

Thank you, I practiced in the bathtub. Now you're kidding me, but I'm serious.

Those Alba shots, sit in position, stab, brushing blood.

What are you doing tonight, honey? You know, I hope this doesn't put you off

entire department.

I don't know why you can't get it through your head, Marty.

I like girls.

What's your name?

They call me Shep.

Cher.

That's like honey.

What was that?

Time's your flight.

It's a job from the police You've got a way to knock me off on my feet
