One extra special side of B &B in a sack.

Coming up.

Have a good one, Mr. Mosley.

Here you go, girls.

Get you finished.

Hey, Lori, I could use another cup.

Well, it's over half the counter, Delia. You can just wait your turn. Hey, kids,

no fighting.

Have a good one, guys.

All right.

Here you go, Delia.

So you're head up today. What do you know that I don't?

Marilee starts her first grade tomorrow.

We're great already?

Yeah, tell me about it.

I'll be right there.

You got a problem. You're flirting with me.

Excuse me, ma 'am. I just got such a long way to go, and I had someone like

to pour my coffee. I could stay up all night.

I don't know who you think you're talking to, but we don't need your kind

here. Well, as soon as I can get a goodbye kiss, I'll be on my way.

I'll be back Thursday.

I'll bring you a present.

You're all I need.

Hey, you stick that speed limit, Greg Phillips, you hear?

Who, me?

Damn. Bet he didn't.

Hey, sweetie.

Mommy! Were you a terrific kid for Aunt Sharon today?

She was a darling, as usual.

Greg gone? Yeah.

I thought he was working. Yeah, I just wish he didn't have to go to these long

hauls. You should be grateful that he's got that good job.

I mean, Greg's taking on a whole ton of responsibility with this ready -made

family and all.

Mommy? Yeah, honey? Can I wear green tech shorts to school?

Bet you wanted to wear a dress on your first day.

Shorts.

Okay, I'll just have to hem them.

Bye -bye.

Bye, Aunt Sharon.

Hey, Patches. You have a good day today.

No, I had a terrible day today.

Here you go, sweetie.

I know you're going to have to have that right before I see you.

Hi, Lori.

Hi, Fred. Where are you going, Dwight?

I bet he's going to Little E.

Can I have a tuna sandwich for lunch? You bet.

Cut four ways?

Squares or triangles?

Squares.

Cash makes fun of my bike.

It's full of training wheels on.

Well, you know what Greg said.

You've got to practice and practice and practice or you could get hurt.

Hood. Uh -uh.

Uh -huh.

Yee.

Check back.

Half hour.

You stay inside the park. Cash, Merrily, you both.

You want to go up to the nature?

You want to ride in the trike?

My dad's going to take him out Saturday.

Come on.

I'll race you.

You're going to beat me so bad.

Yeah, right.

Want a bed?

Wait for me!

Stupid training.

Here,

look at these.

Dad's taking me.

I'm sorry I missed you last night. Yeah. Hey, maybe I can call you back.

Maybe.

Yay, Mary Lee.

She's going to cry.

I'm not.

Are too.

Come on, let's go.

You think this is going to hurt, don't you? I do.

Well, it's not.

You know why?

Why? Because Mom had the secret touch called Mom Magic.

And you are as good as new. Look at that.

That didn't hurt.

Yeah. See, I told you.

I hate on cash most of all.

Oh, come on. He's your friend.

Hey, want me to help you fix your bike?

There you go.

Hey, honey, why don't you go over to Brandy's and play with her?

She still takes naps. I'm going up to Aunt Sharon's. Check back.

I'll follow her. I know. Okay.

Yeah, I've had a double shift twice this week.

You know what? I could use the overtime.

Of course I'd pay him.

Greg would rather haul a wide load to Tallahassee than balance a checkbook.

What do you mean?

I thought he dropped off the electric bill.

I wrote out the check.

I don't suppose the manager would really shut it off, do you?

Oh, this makes me furious. Listen, is Merrily there?

Okay, well, when she gets there, we told her to stay there, all right? I'm going

to run down the road and pay this thing.

Okay. Bye -bye.

Marilee inside?

No, I haven't seen her, Gaylord. Oh.

Okay. Thank you. Sure.

Hey, Thelma.

How's Martin doing?

Oh, fair to Midland.

Yeah, what always takes time after surgery, you know.

Hey, have you seen Marilee?

No, not in a while.

Okay. Thanks.

Marilee, honey, I'm home.

Marilee.

Honey, I'm home.

Hey.

Hey, Marilee.

Marilee.

Valerie? You see Marilee? No.

Cash and Randy went swimming about a half hour ago. Maybe she's with them.

No, I should never go without asking. Thanks. Oh, well, try the Mayfields.

That's where I'm going.

Thelma, I can't find Marilee. Have you seen her yet?

No, but if you're looking for the Mayfields, Cheryl's not home. In fact,

looks like Lily.

My mom's at the mall, my lord.

Did you take Marilee with her?

No. Billy, go check his new shoes at the pool at Regency Park. What? Just go

look!

I'm coming too.

Oh, Marilee's gone. I know.

Let's check back in a half an hour. You told me I'd have you checked all the

cars. Yes. You know? Yes, I've checked the refrigerator.

Come on. I've got the car. We're going to find her now. Come on.

What about that lady in Regency Park who had those kittens for sale?

Oh, that's right. Marilee was crazy about those kittens.

John,

has Merrilee been in here? Have you seen her? No, not today.

She's waiting for us, and you had better give her what for. Oh, my God.

Come on, come on, come on.

Ellie!

Ellie!

Did you see that dirty white van that was parked across the highway at

lunchtime? I sure did.

She wasn't at the park either.

What's going on?

Frank, I can't find Marilee. All right, how long has she been gone?

About two hours, 45 minutes.

And who saw her last?

I don't know. I guess I did. But I've looked everywhere. Where is Craig?

He's in the long hall. All right, now, Laurie, listen to me, honey.

I will bet you anything that Marilee is going to come walking up that road just

any minute now.

And when she does, if you don't tan her hide, I'm going to do it for you. You

hear me? All right.

In the meantime... Just call the police.

Frank is the police, huh? Yeah, but I'm a state trooper and this is sheriff's

business. I'm going to put a call in to Bolton's office.

Honey, listen to me.

Not because there is anything to worry about because there isn't, okay?

I just need to be alerted, that's all.

Right. We're going to take care of this. Okay. All right.

Oh, God.

Honey,

she's going to show up in a minute. It's going to be just fine. Come on in.

All right, listen, I want you guys working north of Cutter Creek over here

can get it covered on the south.

They found that stream from the bicycle over there.

TV's telling all volunteers to show up here.

All right, I want the barricades put up. I do not want the press in here until

I'm ready to talk to them. What time is it? 5 .45. All right, we're going to

lose the light soon.

See if you can get me a radio that works.

Who's going to call tonight?

Kramer. All right, tell him to come on in.

See if you can get in touch with Jack Emery. He's good with family.

And please get me an ETA on that chopper. I really need it. All right.

No new word on the whereabouts of six -year -old Mary P. Gerard who

from her home in Vista View Mobile Manor.

As you can see, let's get an interview with the deputy.

As you can see, there's... Excuse me.

Sheriff, can you tell us about any of the updates?

Ma 'am, I'm terribly sorry. I cannot talk to you right now.

Do you suspect I'll play?

No. I have no comment for you. I have no comment for you. Of course we checked.

Perfect elementary birthday.

Perfect. Make it fast and park out on the highway. Turn about and dump loads

furniture for the people who live there.

That's it.

Anything new, you'll get it to the doctor.

Kramer? Emery?

All right, you're the one in top duty tonight, so it's your case. That is, if

don't find him.

Emery, you assist.

Well, I bet it's a homicide.

Well, I'm praying to God it's not. Of course, every minute it goes by.

Well, I'm not giving up so easily.

I'm going to go link up the search party.

Where are you going?

I'm going with them.

Why'd you give it to him, Robbie?

Because it's his duty.

And you know I don't play favorites.

We know if it turns out to be a homicide, it'll be dispersed.

I know, and you've done 20. But that's the way the deck got cut.

Now look, he's going to do fine.

You'll help, and he'll do fine.

Sir, here's your list.

Olsen, are you finding anything?

Right!

Move it, Eve!

Move it, Eve!

Don't rain tonight.

After nearly ten hours, there's still no word on the whereabouts of six -year

-old Marilee Gerard, who disappeared yesterday afternoon from Visterview

Manor, where she resides with her mother, Lori Bates Phillips, and

trucker, Greg Phillips.

The largest search operation in Padraig County history is underway here, as you

can see, with volunteers pouring... in from all over West Arizona.

This is Gloria Perez reporting to you live from the Sheriff's Department

post.

Honey? Lori?

Did you want some coffee?

What? Coffee? Oh, no.

Thanks. I am praying

for her child.

Thanks, Thelma.

Greg. Lori, honey.

Oh, Greg.

Oh, baby.

It's okay now. It's all right. I'm here.

They're going to find out. It's all right.

I've got to go and check on Martine.

Thanks. Morning, Thelma. Morning, Frank.

How are you holding up?

They're going to be dragging the river in a couple of hours.

any news oh this is the worst nightmare yeah

i

don't

care what the police did i'm going now i know the police want me to stay here i

know you know why they want me to stay here because they want me to identify

body that's right lord i gotta go i gotta go down now listen to me Listen to

now. There are a lot of kids gone missing for a lot longer than this that

turned up safe and sound. Is that true? Is that true? I'm a little scared,

maybe, but they're fine.

Now, you listen to me.

The best thing you can do right now is to go back in that room, get in bed, and

just pray.

Can you pray?

Okay.

Sharon? We're going to find it. It's all right. I know. We're going to find it.

I know. Come on.

Okay. All right. Maybe you better stay with her.

Yeah. Yeah, you're right.

Hey, listen.

How'd you get back here so quick?

Pedaled the metal all the way.

Broke speed limit in three states.

Yeah. You get some rest, too. I'll see you later.

Oh, God.

What's going on?

What is it?

Greg!

Greg! What?

Greg! What's going on? What's the matter?

Lori, I... No.

No. No.

Toxicology report.

No surprises. The cause of death was asphyxiation with a false ligature.

Arm, probably.

And it wouldn't have to be anybody that strong.

Any sign it's a sex crime?

Panties are ripped on one side, but nothing conclusive.

All we have is a couple of dark hairs that could just as easily be off some

guy's head.

Oh yeah, one other thing. There were half -moon bruises on both wrists.

Just tell us what you can remember, Greg.

Well, I was on the road to Nogales, and I called home from a

diesel stop in Notres Ridge.

Which day was that? I hadn't gone. Laurie.

Honey, you're supposed to be resting.

Darling, these are the two detectives on Marilee's case.

We were just talking for a minute. Can you just tell me how she died?

I mean, was she... No, she wasn't, Mrs. Phillips.

She was strangled.

Honey, do you remember?

Jack Emery? He was a couple years ahead of me at Perkins High.

Oh. Yeah, and that's Lieutenant Kramer.

We're really sorry about your loss, Laurie.

But if you feel up to answering a couple of questions, it would help out a lot.

Why don't you sit down right here?

Ma 'am, if it gets too...

Will you just tell us?

Now, your sister tells us that Marilee went off on her bike at 2 .15. She was

supposed to check back a half an hour later.

2 .45.

Did she?

No.

So you went off to look for her, but not till 3 o 'clock.

Right.

I dozed off for a couple of minutes.

Fifteen minutes, half an hour. No, not that long.

Just a blur, I'm sorry.

I can't... It's all right.

Look, why don't we just do this another time?

Yes.

We'll be in touch, man.

She just needs a little time, you know.

Laurie, are you ready?

The service will be real short.

You want to say goodbye to Marilee now, don't you, honey?

No.

I don't want to say goodbye to Marilee.

I'm so sorry.

Sharon, could you get me my pills?

That don't help the pain, honey. It's just going to postpone it.

Most

Heavenly

Father, we ask you for the strength to help this mother and this father to bear

this sorrow.

To keep this community whole and its trust.

your everlasting power.

We know that only you know all things.

Though we may not always understand your fine plan, we are safe in your own

mercy.

Jesus has said, help the little children to come forth in heaven.

We ask you, Lord, for understanding in the face of tragedy.

May the Lord have mercy upon the living and upon the dead.

Oh, God,

I think it could have been mine or yours or anybody's.

They're saying he was some kind of trenchant who came into the park and

him.

Oh, yeah.

Look,

cops.

Here? I'm sure they have a reason, honey. Come on.

I'm so sorry.

Frankie, thank you for coming. Yeah.

Why are the police here, Frank?

I'll explain that to you later, honey. No, tell me, please.

Well, honey, they think that the killer might be here among the mourners.

Don't let yourself think about that now. Just don't do it.

These are people I've known all my life. I know. I know. I know.

Come on, baby. We ought to go now.

It's okay.

My condolences, Lord.

Oh, my.

Very, very sorry.

Nice to meet you.

I'm sorry.

Don't worry.

Stay with your mom.

Okay, honey.

Lord, we'll pray for you. Good boy.

Fine, we're going.

You, the patrolman, lives in the park? Yeah.

Yeah, I'm a state trooper.

Work the night shift.

You must know everybody that lives there.

Any ideas you have, I'm ready to listen.

You mean, do I think somebody at this view killed this girl?

He's trying to eliminate possibilities.

How well you know the Phillipses?

Well, they've been neighbors for almost a year. So you got a nice couple.

He's from Texas, I think.

Anything else?

Well, I don't go into gossip with them.

Well, a lot of murder's been solved by listening to gossip.

Yeah.

Well, keep in touch.

I'll do it.

Oh, uh, one more thing.

Greg Phillips was supposed to be halfway to Nogales when he heard the kid was

missing. You know what time he got back here?

I don't know. It must have been about 2.

2 a .m.

Must have drove like a bat out of hell, huh?

Yeah.

Yeah, P as in Paul, H -I -L -I -P -S as in Sam.

Yeah, well, he spent the first 20 years of his life in Texas.

Yeah, I'll wait.

Sightings on that transient.

None of them add up.

That one says he was short, dark. This one says he was all barrel -chested.

Well, some old guy lives nearby, Mr.

Abbott. Says he saw a cream -coated sedan parked out there about three years

ago. Yeah, yeah, I'm still here.

Yeah, you get vitals on the bill? Both of them.

She was Lori Bates. It's all there.

No evidence, no suspects, no motive, no witnesses.

Child killers are hell to catch. You know that as well as I do.

Also, once they're smart, they're born liars.

What is this?

Mark on the wrist there?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm still waiting.

Yeah, maybe she's wearing a bracelet and the guy tore it off her.

Yeah.

Yeah, you got a date on that?

That's right, G. Phillips.

Yes, indeed.

Well, why don't you just send that right on up here?

Yeah, that'll be just fine.

Yes, thank you. Thank you very much.

Bingo. I just need a little more background here.

So you've all been married about a year now.

First time for both?

Me, yeah, but Laurie was married to Marilee's dad.

And how did you all get together?

Well...

I was hauling some software from San Jose to Phoenix, and my friend Merrilee

said, you go in Arizona, my best girlfriend lives in Arizona. Y 'all got

each other.

You're going to love each other.

Well, we did.

You two made a new family with Merrilee, huh?

She was a great kid, I hear. Yeah.

And we got along like, you know, like we've been together always.

You must have loved her quite a lot.

The funny thing is, though, well,

a couple of things just don't add up.

What's that?

Well, first time we talked, you told us that you dozed off between about 2 .30

and 3.

That's right. But your neighbor, Martin Valez, he swears that he saw you take

off in your pickup about the same time.

Oh, my God, that's right. He's right.

I just went down the road to Regency Manor to pay my electric bill. How long

that take?

I don't know.

10, 15 minutes.

Well, you should have told us that before, Laurie.

I mean, I wish you'd told us the truth.

Son of a... What is this?

Nobody's accusing her, Phillips. The hell you're not accusing her. Would you

and stay calm? Now, don't... Don't you tell me to stay calm. We just buried our

little girl. We don't want to have to take you in. Oh, that's all right, Jack.

That's all right. Maybe we should anyway, you know, because maybe he don't

his wife to hear what's coming next.

What are you talking about? Well, for starters, Greg, we got a copy of your

Texas marriage license.

Iris Darling to Greg Phillips. You want to look at that, honey?

Honey, we got divorced three months later.

And then there's that drug conviction in San Antonio.

What?

Come on, folks, let's just put it all on the table, all right?

We all still dealing down here? Is that what was going on? Are you crazy? Is

that why you didn't want the kid living with you? He only got custody of her six

months before she died, Laurie. What the hell were y 'all doing down here up

until then? I was looking for a job. You don't expect me to believe that. I gave

birth to Marilee.

I took care of her for the first three and a half years of her life, and then

her daddy and me separated.

And I didn't have enough money to take care of her. I had to find a job to

support her.

She lived with her daddy for six months.

Did you love her?

She was my daughter.

She was my little girl.

Someone had taken her away from me.

Some animal had killed her.

Now you get out of my house and you find that person.

You just find that person.

I think it's time you all left now.

Yeah, that's a good idea.

We'll be at headquarters at nine tomorrow morning.

We're going to want a signed statement.

You think he'll show up? Yeah, he'll show up.

You know, Harry, I wonder if we're not going too far too fast with the

Jack, you know, eight out of ten of these killings are domestic related.

That's statistics you're talking about, not people.

Oh, hell, I don't want it to be them any more than you do.

But if it's not a sex crime, where are we?

These two.

Right, now, neither one of them has gone to Allenby. The woman was the last

person to see the kid alive.

And she lied to us. That wasn't exactly... And we know they had money

Well, if that's a crime, half the town's going to be in jail. Jack.

You saw that arrest record came in from Texas, right?

Yes, I saw the arrest record. But possession is a whole other world from

Look, if he is using and dealing, God knows what he's capable of.

Now, I don't know about the wife, but as far as I'm concerned, Greg Phillips is

our guy.

He's my suspect.

Oh, hi, Sharon.

You okay? You need anything?

No, I'm fine.

Greg Beckett? Oh, he's still at the police station. You don't have to sit

alone. I can come. No. Call me. Yeah, I will.

Honest. You sure you need anything?

I said I'm fine.

I'm here.

Okay. Thanks. Bye.

All right.

Hey, honey, where are you?

Hey. Don't worry.

What are you doing alone? I thought Sharon was coming over. Well, I had some

stuff to do. I told her later.

But I really put me through it down there. I'm telling you.

How's that ready to call a lawyer?

They finally let me go.

Hey, you want...

Come on, beer.

Come on, Laura.

I was 17 years old. I was working an oil rig off the coast of Galston. It was

lonely as hell.

Why didn't you tell me?

Because it didn't mean anything.

Hell, we got stolen one night.

You know, it's not marrying her.

I told you everything.

Why didn't you just tell me?

Because it was such a dumb thing. That's... I don't know.

I guess I figured if you knew how dumb it was, you might change your mind about

me.

And what else did the detective say?

No, no, no, that's a mistake.

No, he got me confused with somebody else on that one. Are you dealing, Greg?

I was dealing, you think I'd be driving around on retreads?

You think we'd be over the limit on our credit card? I don't know.

Come on, now, you're not thinking straight.

You're feeling bad, but look, it's going to get better. All of a sudden, you've

got so many secrets.

Is there anything else?

Is there anything else?

I just want you to answer yes or no.

And I want to be looking in your eyes when you say it.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. You sound just like the police. You got any idea what they put

through?

I mean, from those bastards, I can understand. But from you, I don't

this.

You think I killed your daughter, our daughter?

Is that what you think?

Huh?

Let me see Greg Phillips' report again.

And his statement.

San Antonio, 1984.

Co -conviction. Male, Caucasian, age 25.

Occupation, truck driver.

Name, Gregory Phillips.

Friends match?

Haven't got him yet.

Can't get a search warrant without him.

He's going to bolt, Sheriff. I mean, he looked half -ready to do it this

morning. Look, it just doesn't smell right. I'm telling you, they're involved

it somehow.

You know, maybe a drug deal went out of control. The kid got caught in a

crossfire.

What do you think?

I think it's a long shot.

I mean, that husband is a question mark. I'll admit that.

But I know Lori.

I know all her folks.

She comes from good people.

Well, the police wouldn't say that Grant was dealing unless they had proof.

Would they?

Sure, and they're just trying to eliminate suspects.

Yeah, that's it. It's all.

More coffee, Laurie?

Oh, no.

We better go.

Frank's got to get to work. Laurie.

If you don't tell Frank, I will.

What's this?

Gas. receipts. She brought them to my house.

And I said, we should come see you.

I, um, found them in Greg's bed.

I'm acting crazy, don't I?

No.

You mind if I look at them?

But he got home so quick. How did that happen?

Yeah, I remember.

And see, there is no receipt for gas anywhere near Notre Dame.

How could he get that far without Phil?

What are you thinking? He got back so quick because he hadn't gotten all that

far to begin with?

I don't know what I think. I'm just... I trust Greg. I love him.

You better give these to the police.

Well, they want to make an ass bomb.

They're my pills.

I left them at home. Come on. Lori.

Frank, don't tell Greg I came here, okay?

Okay, I won't.

Yeah.

Laurie? I'm sorry I lost it today, darling.

We shouldn't be fighting, right?

You boys just let me be. Okay.

Phillips, got a search warrant.

I think he's going to find.

If I knew that, I wouldn't have to look, would I? What's going on?

Morning, Laurie.

Olsen, you take the bedroom.

The rest of you fellas just look around the living room.

Hey, what the hell?

Hey, now don't get in the way. Those are just family things.

Don't touch those.

I'm calling Fred Link's office. Ernie's brother. He's not your damn thing.

I wonder if it's going on.

Phillips. Are you looking for Marilee's prints?

They're all over that cab. She's rolling it every weekend. Take your distance.

I'm telling you.

They think I did it, boy.

They think I killed that little girl.

I never hurt that little girl. I loved her just like you did.

Here you go.

That is my stuff!

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

all you can say can and will be used against you in the court of law. If you

desire, you cannot afford one. An attorney can be divided without charge.

Now we're over here.

And we're alone.

And we still don't know.

Don't know what happened.

Lab report.

It was Prince from Texas.

We don't have a match.

We're going to have to let him go.

You tell him, I'll tell her.

It's okay.

Hey, let me go. There was another guy in Texas named Phillips.

What?

Donna, what's going on?

Oh,

my sweet girl.

You cannot leave me.

I know it's hell right now, but...

Guys, you can't go. I love you so much. Don't ever think about leaving me. I

just feel like I might as well be dead. I just feel like I'm half alive anyway.

Greg, no.

Yes. Yes.

Listen, we got a family.

We got each other.

And the grace to get through this, it's going to come from somewhere. Listen to

me, baby. I promise you, we are going to get through this.

I promise you.

Trying to tell them something about my cooking.

Just forgot. Good.

Mom,

I can go by myself.

And I know yours would. Oh, yes, you would.

You know what time Tom Gardner gets home from work?

Earlier than me.

His car was always there when I got in. Why?

I don't know.

You remember the police said that Marilee must have known that the person

killed her.

Means he must be out there somewhere.

Walking around Perkins like an ordinary person.

Hi, Brandy, honey.

Okay, these are the names of everybody in the park. And then here it says what

they were doing at the time.

And here's if they have a car, you know, what make it is, what model.

There I am.

And Cheryl.

I'll do it to everybody.

And then on this page, I'm writing down everything that... in the paper about

the crime. You know, clues, witnesses.

Maura, the police have already covered all this ground. Don't you see? The

murderer has to be somebody who's inside the park. I know my daughter. She would

never go outside that gate, not without asking.

So either it had to be someone who came from outside in and got her, and nobody

saw anybody in it, or else the murderer lives in the park already.

Maura, I know how you feel. No, I... I don't think you do.

I don't think anybody that this hasn't happened to could...

possibly know how it feels.

What do you want me to do?

Well, you know, I was thinking maybe we could work together. You know, you could

ask around, I could ask around, then whatever we find, we could just add to

list. You know, I mean, so what if somebody came in from outside to visit

can't interfere with a police investigation.

Frank, it would just be our suicide.

I'll see what I can do. I can't promise you none. I can't promise anything.

Thank you, Frank, for being such a good friend. Yeah.

Just our secret. Oh, you bet. Listen, I could get in a lot of trouble here.

Going over it again, huh?

Did you know that over half the children kidnapped in this country are taken by

someone they know?

Honey, could you hand me that forensics book over there, please?

No.

Darling, don't do this, Jess. I don't know.

What do you think you're going to accomplish? The police have been through

stuff over and over again. It's all I've got.

It's the only reason I can get out of bed in the morning and do another day,

I just need you to do it and let me do it, okay? Just let me do it.

Whatever you want.

Bob called today.

I was thinking maybe you could go back to work.

L .T. up.

L. You really were lousy parents, you know?

Call yourself a mother.

Yeah, but you know what they're saying about you? All over Arizona.

They're saying you want to commit a murder and not get caught, just do it in

Patrick County.

Oh, that's right. You think you can do better than the police. That's right, I

heard that.

What do you mean?

Launched your own little murder investigation, haven't you?

Don't think I don't know what you're up to, Lori.

Trying to take all the attention off you and Greg, put the heat on somebody

else.

That's what you're after.

Let me tell you something, Lori. It's not going to take.

Hell, I could haul you in right now for interfering with a homicide

investigation.

Have yourself a good day now.

Lori, sausage and eggs up.

Lori, where are you going?

You told the police.

That was just between us. You lied to me. Lori, calm down.

I thought you were on my side. I am. I didn't lie.

Everybody here knows what you're up to.

Yeah, well, somebody told the police.

I put myself on the line for you and this is the thanks I get for it. Lori!

Lori! All you had to do is when Kramer showed up, tell him you didn't know what

he was talking about.

Hey!

What's going on?

Get in the truck.

Lauren, get in the truck.

Go.

Somebody told the police what I've been doing.

Kramer came into the diner today.

Wait a minute.

How did Frank know it was Kramer?

What? I didn't think Kramer came into the diner. I said the police.

Lord, I don't know what the hell you're talking about here, but you can't go

around beating on people like this.

Now, come on.

Lie down or something.

Great. Look.

Here in the paper.

The day it happened, it said someone saw a car near the place where they found

her body. A cream -colored car.

No, it happened inside the county. Cream -colored cars.

Is it working anymore?

Quit.

Well, that must make things pretty tight.

Have you seen that notebook she's been carrying around the last couple of

months?

Never noticed.

Why is she always watching us?

These little creeps.

Witchy, witchy. Gonna put a curse on you.

What are you staring at, Randy Kendall? Do you like the look of her longer?

Hey, Brandy, you okay?

I just have to take a nap.

Mommy says I'm coming down with a cold, but I'm not coming down with a cold. She

says I am.

Is your friend going to take a nap, too?

Mm -hmm. This is Susie.

You know, my little girl had a friend like this, too.

His name was Patches.

Mommy says Mary went away for a long time, and she went to a very special

place. Did Pat just go with her too?

No, honey.

Pat's still with me.

Have a good nap.

The pressure goes fast, doesn't it?

I heard you took over the case.

Yeah, the sheriff likes to switch everybody around every couple of months.

I told him I wanted to stay on this one.

So I come by and pay my respects.

It's been a three -month anniversary and all.

You sure you're not following me?

You were never a suspect, Laurie.

Greg either.

You know what I think?

The man who killed Merrilee is convinced of you. He either lives there or he

works nearby.

Lori, everybody with the slightest connection to that park was checked out

cleared. Right, that's when Kramer was in charge. That's when everybody thought

Greg did it.

You're thinking maybe some of those statements are really different now.

Things get overlooked.

There was a report that said someone saw a cream -colored car near the scene.

Frank Mayfield has a cream -colored car.

Hey, Olsen.

We're missing a couple of statements from the Merrilee Gerard case.

They're all there.

Frank Mayfield?

He's taking his kid to Little League.

That's it?

I wonder if you could do me a favor?

I've got a whole bunch of these new ones, and I was wondering if maybe you

take it over to Regency Manor for me, put them up?

Okay, sure.

Now take down the old ones and put them up on mailboxes and trees and stuff like

that.

Hey, new bike?

Second hand. Rebuilt. Oh, okay.

Thanks, guys. Okay. Wait, wait. What is that?

What? That's pink.

Oh, it's just rusty. What is it? Where'd you get it? I don't know. Where'd you

get it?

Don't get ballistic, okay?

Just think. Think.

My dad's toolkit, I guess, or Dwight gave it to me. He found it somewhere.

Dwight? Dwight Mayfield? Did Dwight Mayfield find it in his yard? I don't

It was a long time ago. On it. Cash, wait, wait, wait. Cash.

Cash. She's crazy. Let's get out of here. Yeah, she's really crazy.

Well, it's oversized.

Could be from a little kid's bike.

And the original color might have been pink.

Might have.

Mary Lee's?

We don't know.

A cash gardener says his son Dwight found it.

Somewhere around here, as a matter of fact.

Well, maybe.

Didn't say anything to me.

I thought Mary Lee's bike was parted out, left at the crime scene.

It was.

How'd this end up here?

I mean, if it is hers.

A lot of pink lights.

Well, we'll have to track it, see if we can match it up.

Yeah.

Thank you for your time.

Oh, you bet.

I, uh... I'll keep an eye out.

Yeah.

These wingnuts are a perfect match.

Which means the killer was in the park when he took the bike apart.

Which means the kid was abducted from her own front yard.

and probably went willingly because it was somebody she knew and trusted.

Listen to the FBI profile.

Male, 30 to 40, loner, limited education but functions at a high level, cunning,

manipulative, takes risks, doesn't look dangerous, and interested in the

military.

What do you say?

Talk to the sheriff.

Hi. Hi, Laura. You're right on time.

This is for Marilee's bike.

It's a real break for us, Laura.

Our first serious lead in months.

So you can arrest him now, right? Frank Mayfield. Whoa, now how did his name get

into this?

There's no way we can tie this wingnut to Frank Mayfield, Laurie. And even if

could, it's not near enough. What more do you need?

Some solid physical evidence for starters.

And an alibi we can poke holes in.

Listen, you have a wingnut. It was from Merrily's bicycle that was found in his

front yard. His whereabouts at the time of the crime are unaccounted for.

tree and we could decorate it on Sunday.

I know.

Oh, wow. That's a really pretty doll.

Get that for an early Christmas present?

Just a present.

From your grandma?

Frank.

Randy, you better get going, honey.

Bye. Bye.

Bye.

Your house looks beautiful.

Thanks. Valerie, you know what? I can't really talk right now because Cheryl's

going to do my hair.

I think you should be careful letting Frank and Brandy spend so much time

together. I know that you called the cops on Frank.

Don't you think it's a little odd?

Him spending so much money on expensive gifts for her?

Frank?

Come on, Lori.

He and Cheryl don't have a little girl, and so they treat Brandy special.

He spends too much time with her. Now, you listen to me. Frank Mayfield is one

of the sweetest guys alive, and I just think talking like you do is way out of

line. Valerie, you've got to listen to me. No, you know what's wrong with you?

You feel like it's all your fault what happened to Marilee, even though it

isn't. You feel guilty, and you can't handle it, so you're just trying to dump

it on somebody else.

Well, I don't want to hear about it anymore.

And neither does anybody else.

Christmas vacation.

Brandy sick?

No. Just wait. Frank's gonna give her a ride. Wait a minute. What'd you say?

Frank's gonna give her a ride. Does your mother know?

Jack, it's Lori Phillips. You better get over here right now.

Frank Mayfield's gone off in his car with Brandi Gardner.

She's five years old. Her mother's not home.

All the other kids took to school, though.

I don't know where he's taking her.

Okay.

Green color Dodge.

License, Tom Ocean. Frank, 593. Roger?

Roger.

No, that's not a good idea.

This is Patrick, County 4. We got your cream -colored Dodge. We're in pursuit.

Do you have any idea where he's going?

I know exactly.

Have a good day.

Bye, Frank.

Bye -bye.

Emory, how's it going?

It's going good, Mayfield.

Happy holidays.

He was going to hurt that little girl.

Jack, that man killed my daughter. Let me tell you the problem.

Cases like Marilee's are almost impossible to prove.

The only thing we got going for us is that we know the kind of guy who does

Now, he got away with it once, so he figures he can't get caught.

He's going to do it again.

And when he does, we're going to get him. You're saying that's the only time

can catch him when he's actually doing something?

When he's molesting or killing a child?

It works out that way most times.

It's crazy.

People here think I'm having a nervous breakdown.

That little girl needs protection.

He is going to hurt her.

It's really good.

I need that one right here. No.

Thank you.

Come and take a look at it. You don't have to stay.

I can keep from here, Billy.

But I helped cut it down.

Come on.

It's the prettiest tree you've ever seen.

Please?

One look, but I'm not staying. Bye.

Come on, come on.

Look,

there it is.

Okay, so, tell me, which side you cut down?

Well, we had one of those big electric chisels. You know those ones that look

easy?

Oh, no, it wasn't.

I was working so hard I got blisters all over my hands.

And then you cut it down and the tree's about to fall down. And you have to jump

out of the way.

But it was fun.

Why, sure.

Next year, we're going to know how to use the chainsaw even better. We'll be

able to cut down a bigger tree. Did you put your ornament on there?

Yeah, I'm doing it.

Hey, you made it. Yeah, that's for a few minutes, Mom.

Greg, can you help me with the table for the presents?

Right back.

Hey.

Hey.

Brought you some time. Thank you. Be careful, it's hot.

Come on.

Mr. Hayes says I can go skiing with him, but you gotta go talk to him, right?

All right. Come on.

This year I'm going to be able to hunt another black diamond.

I just knew it. Merry Christmas.

Haven't seen much of you lately. Get away from me.

What's the matter, Laura?

You're a killer.

And you're a fool.

You're going to get caught.

When do you say you're going to get caught?

I'll get you some ice.

It's all right. I'm okay. Are you crazy? Are you nuts?

After all he has done for you. If you care about your children, get them away

from this man.

What's happened to you, I'm sorry for. We all are.

You're the one I feel sorry for, Cheryl. You're saying something horrible to

your mind.

It's made you sick. I'm not the sick one. I'm not the one who's sick. It's

you tell ugly lies about Kenneth. You really love him.

That's enough out of everybody. You get her some help.

Come on.

I'm down.

Come on.

Come on.

I don't know.

All right. All right. All right. Calm down.

I .A .K.

Sure. Okay.

Guy named I .A .K.

Hi.

I'm for sure.

Oh.

Come on.

That's a cash.

Where's Brandy?

Oh, you're beautiful.

Thought I saw your mom leave for work already.

Yeah, well, you got big eyes.

My mom's gone. Take care of my sister.

Deal.

Cash, hey, hey, hey, Cash, come here.

We used to be friends, right?

Listen, just tell me, was your sister at the Mayfields? I'm not even kidding.

I can hardly move.

Oh, you like school.

Mm -hmm.

Next year I go in first grade.

Oh, boy.

Won't be long now.

Where's the kindergarten class?

Who are you looking for? Brandi Gardner. Is she here? Are you her mother? No.

Yes. Is she here?

I'm sure she's... Please, this is an emergency.

I'll need to see some identification.

Ma 'am!

Where's the kindergarten class?

Right over there.

Excuse me.

Is this Brandi Gardner's house?

Yes, it is. Is she here?

Jason and Mark, please. Is she here?

No, she's outside today.

It's Jack Emery there. This is an emergency.

Well, can you reach him, please?

Please.

This is Lori Phillips.

Tell him to come to Vista View.

Fast. Tell him he's going to kill her.

Just tell him.

I'll use it, Frank.

I'll use it.

Don't worry. Just calm down.

Just calm down.

I was taking Brandy to school and she got sick, so I brought her back here.

Her mom knows she's here. I just talked to her.

Hey, if you don't believe me, call her. She's at work. Just come on over, pick

up the phone, call her.

Don't worry. This is ridiculous.

You know you're not going to shoot me.

You know you're not.

What do you think's on that piece?

I don't know.

Find out.

Is

she

okay?

Yeah, she'll be fine.

Okay, sweetie, how are you feeling?

I'm okay.

I'm fine.

You'll take her?

Yeah.

Oh.

Randy?

Randy?

Randy? Is she all right? Is she all right? Is she all right?

She's fine.

Unit 38 Apache.

Unit 38.

We don't know. No, but... I'm so sorry for him.

We just didn't know.

How could we not have known?

Oh, honey. Honey. You okay?

Mm -hmm.

No.

Frank Mayfield confessed to Marilee's murder.

But they... But...

You couldn't save her, but you saved another little girl.

Yeah, thank God she wasn't hurt.

Thank God it's over.

Lori, thank you.

I'll always thank you.

Always.
