MAN: Now, for Watson and Crick,
the moment finally arrived in a sudden flash of inspiration...
two nucleotides.
One twisting upward, the other down.
Why is it all clumping together?
Okay, picture it-- what does a DNA molecule look like?
It´s uh, stringy, right?
"Stringy..."
That´s exactly right.
Rich, you´re smarter than you look.
( students chuckle )
That´s exactly right.
Legend has it, the night they made this discovery,
Crick went out to a bar, ordered a beer--
Guinness, I like to imagine--
( laughter )
and announced that he discovered the secret of life.
Great moment.
I hope you each have a moment like that.
Without the beer, of course.
( laughter )
Mr. Edwards, wasn´t Watson
like, 23 or something?
Yes, he was, which gives you-all
about six years to get your acts together.
Starting...
alright, tomorrow morning.
Go.
I wanted you to know I dropped AP Spanish.
How´d your dad take that?
Well, I told him what you told me.
I think he´s alright.
I think it´s the right choice.
Thanks, Mr. Abrams.
Mr. Abrams? Yeah.
Do you have two seconds
to look at my tri-square numbers?
Uh, you know what, Riley?
Not tonight, okay?
First thing tomorrow.
Promise?
Get out of here.
Go.
( loud clank )
DANNY: This is three.
Just two more to go.
MARTIN: Oh! Why is it that no one
in a walkup ever lives on the first two floors?
Vampires.
Really?
Yeah, they have all the lower apartments all to themselves.
No direct sunlight, right? Exactly.
Plus, they live to be 106 years old,
so the apartments never turn around.
Oh, that´s good to know.
Whew!
Okay, his name is Josh Abrams,
26, science teacher at Thomas Dewey up in the Bronx,
last seen leaving the school two days ago.
Long way down here from the Bronx. How´s he commute?
Subway. Police are canvassing the station up by the school.
Anything missing?
Nothing obvious.
And there´s no sign of forced entry.
What´d you get from the landlord?
There is no landlord. Abrams owns the whole building.
Not bad for a public school teacher
SAMANTHA: Take a look at this.
Levitican.com.
Josh founded it right out of Princetown.
Went public at 16, topped off at 135.
He got out right before the bust.
One of the lucky few.
Levitican.com.
I never heard of them, what do they make?
Money.
Oh, yes.
"Be ashamed to die
until you have won some victory for humanity."
There´s some pressure for you.
SAMANTHA: Yeah.
DANNY: Guys?
Creatine, amino acids, vitamin supplements...
heroin.
How do you know it´s not wheat germ?
Oh, this is a dealer´s bag.
Young, idealistic teacher turns out to be dealing smack.
Mmm!
If we´re not careful,
this is going to end up in the front page of the Post.
You talked to Vice?
Yeah, they´re going to get us
a list of known drug dealers in the Bronx.
Anything from the hospitals and morgues?
Uh-huh. NYPD´s checking incident reports
and transit logs from that night,
but nothing so far.
Where are the boys? Headed up to the school.
You got anything else?
Yeah...
A young woman by the name of Carmen Daniels.
called Josh at his home phone
four times on the day that he disappeared.
Hey, don´t take your coat off,
you´re going to meet parents back at Josh´s apartment
in 20 minutes.
Ugh, it´s five flights of stairs.
Better than a StairMaster.
Hey, where´s Jack?
He´s going to meet you over there.
Is there something going on with him?
Come on, Viv.
It´s his daughter Hannah.
She´s still a little spooked out by Freddy Katan.
I mean, the guy showed up at her school.
God, I don´t know how you guys do it.
Me, neither.
( bell rings )
So, he´s the kind of teacher
that kids turn to with their problems?
Public school guidance programs aren´t what they used to be.
Josh fills a need.
Maybe he got in over his head?
If Josh had a really troubled student,
I think he´d say something to me.
So, you´re friends.
He beats me regularly at racquetball,
and tried to get me into rowing--
What´s up, Ben?
Here we go.
Josh´s pride and joy.
He developed this program for advanced students,
so they could run their own experiments.
Two of his kids made it to the Intel Science Semi-Finals.
I wouldn´t touch anything--
That´s a working plasma laser.
I knew that.
Josh is completely dedicated to these kids.
8:00, 9:00 at night,
he´s still here,
working with them, talking to them.
Josh´s students are beside themselves.
If you´d have asked me three years ago,
I didn´t think he´d make such an impression.
Why´s that?
Ivy League do-gooder out to change the world.
That show usually closes pretty quick up here.
Kids are tough at this school, huh?
Tough and smart.
Which can be a nasty combination.
Mr. Wesmar, do you have a drug problem here?
No more than anywhere else.
They´re teenagers.
SAMANTHA: I heard about Hannah.
Is she okay?
It´s complicated.
Did you tell her her dad caught the bad guy?
I told her there are no bad guys.
What do we know about these parents?
Well, the father´s a teacher, the mother´s a social worker.
Community service runs in the family.
Only child?
Yep.
How has your son been lately?
Not himself.
He´s been withdrawn, preoccupied.
We used to see him
at least twice a week for dinner.
But the last couple of months
we can barely get him on the phone.
We´ve been very concerned.
But he kept insisting
that everything was great.
Better than ever.
Do you have any idea what had him so preoccupied?
Well, a few days ago,
we decided enough´s enough, we´ve got to talk to him,
find out what´s going on,
so we came over here to wait for him.
We have our own key, so we let ourselves in.
FATHER: About 10:00, he walks in the door
and he´s a mess.
Mom, Dad, what are you doing here?
Josh, what happened to your shirt?
I was just wrestling with a couple of kids at school.
It was stupid.
Josh.
( heavy sigh )
Alright.
There´s something going on with one of my students.
He´s having a lot of trouble, and I´ve kind of gotten myself
into the middle of it.
What kind of trouble?
I really don´t want to get into it too much.
Josh, between the two of us, your father and I
have 40 years of experience with social work
and children´s psychology.
We can help.
And if I think it´s something I can´t handle,
of course, I will call you.
If you´re handling it, what happened to your shirt?
Listen to me, honey.
You, you are devoted to these kids,
and that is admirable.
But you have got to be careful.
You cannot solve
all of their problems.
Look, I love you,
I appreciate your concern
but I know how to take care of myself.
I´m fine. Really.
We should have pushed him.
Whatever it was, we should have known.
He didn´t talk about what it was exactly?
He didn´t tell you who the student was?
No.
It was the first we heard of it that night.
Just a little bit controlling.
Wonder if they let him go to the bathroom by himself.
A key to his apartment? Yeah, I know.
If he was 16 instead of 26,
I´d say he ran away from them.
Do you like Mr. Abrams?
Oh, yeah, he´s a great guy.
Well, what do you mean, "a great guy"?
Well, I mean, he just helps people out
with their personal problems,
and cares about his students and stuff, takes care of them.
This is Riley Martin, Special Agent Fitzgerald.
Hi, there.
You don´t look like an FBI agent.
Look, uh, we´re trying to find out
if Mr. Abrams was having trouble with any of his students.
Oh, none of the kids in his class
would do anything; we love him.
What about kids outside his class?
Um...
Do you think that we could talk privately?
Sure.
It´s okay.
I´ll be over here.
Alright.
About a week ago,
I was coming out of the school,
and I saw Mr. Abrams arguing with Mace Williams.
And who is Mace Williams?
He´s our student body drug dealer.
Look, you´ve got to give it back to me!
ABRAMS: Are you out of your mind?
You´re lucky I didn´t drag you down
to Wesmar´s office and have you expelled or worse. Mr. Abrams, please!
Your too smart to be mixed up
in this kind of stuff You don´t understand!
I´m going to catch hell from my supplier for this.
Your sup, your supplier?
Yeah, I don´t make this stuff in my basement!
Alright, look.
You tell your supplier
to come and see me
and I will straighten this out, okay?
MARTIN: What kind of drugs has he been dealing?
Uh, pot, coke, just about everything.
Have you seen him today?
I think I saw him earlier, hanging out by exit eight.
Alright, thank you.
Wait.
Please, don´t let him know that I told you.
It´ll be our secret.
Danny.
Hey, Mace!
Hey, where you going, brother?
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
I swear to God, I don´t know where Mr. Abrams is!
You know something, or you wouldn´t be running.
Let´s go.
BOY: I swear to God,
I didn´t do anything to Mr. Abrams.
Okay, shut up, stop swearing to God,
and start telling us why you were going to run.
I seen you coming up on me,
I figured you heard something.
And what would we hear?
I don´t know.
What?
DANNY: How about this? Josh Abrams
took your drugs, you got pissed,
and you took him out.
Nope. No way.
Maybe you told your supplier where he could find him,
so he could take him out.
You´ll have to tell us
either here, or behind bars.
And if I were you, I´d do it here.
Look, I tell you, he´s going to kill me.
Oh, come on, no one´s going to kill you, Mace.
You´re going to be in our custody.
Alright, I had no choice. I told Panda.
Panda?
Blue Panda.
I think his real name is Jackson or something.
Great. Where can we find "Blue Panda"?
Alright, then...
is it Mr. Blue or Mr. Panda?
It´s Mr. Jackson to you.
As in Michael?
Or Stonewall?
See, if I were you, I´d pick Michael,
because singing works a lot better than silence around here.
Yeah, real funny.
You make that up all by yourself?
Grand larceny,
assault with a deadly weapon,
four counts of felony drug possession,
three counts of distribution.
I´m smelling a Lifetime Achievement Award.
What do you think?
I´m sure his mama´s real proud.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, you guys are real good.
Maybe you and Opie should take this over
to Star Search or something.
We´ve got a highly respected teacher
gone missing two days after he confiscated
a quarter kilo of your heroin.
And we got four witnesses
that say they saw you
outside the school the night he went missing.
You´re going away, Mr. P.
Ten years for selling smack to minors,
or life for taking out this teacher,
so if you got something to say,
say it now.
( laughs )
Man, that kid was wacked.
So you saw him that night? Look, man,
I´ll tell you I saw him, but... I ain´t signing no statements.
What´s up, Teach?
Who are you?
Mace Williams says you´re the man I need to talk to.
So you´re Panda?
Why don´t you just give me back my goods, man?
Why don´t you just stay away from my school.
Aw, you trippin´.
You think you Charles Bronson or something?
Hmm? Now, look here...
you don´t want to see your boy Mr. Mace get hurt, right?
So why don´t you just give me back my stuff?
Meet me here tomorrow night, same time.
Just like that, huh?
On one condition:
you take your business somewhere else--
away from Mace, away from this school,
or I´ll get the cops involved.
You got yourself a deal.
PANDA: So the next night, I was there,
he wasn´t.
That´s all I know.
This guy´s a piece of crap, but we don´t think
that he had anything to do with the disappearance.
Okay, make your deal with Mace Williams,
and throw the book at Jackson on the drug charges.
You got it.
I´ve been into Josh´s financial records.
He arranged to withdraw $100,000
from one of his bank accounts.
He picked it up-- in cash-- the day before he disappeared.
Now, I´m thinking that sounds like some kind of payoff money.
So far, the guy´s squeaky clean.
Yeah, so far.
I´ll keep digging.
Okay.
Thanks for coming in, Miss Daniels.
Uh-huh. It´s the least I can do.
I´m so worried about Josh.
Now, you called him four times
in his home
the day before he disappeared.
Was something wrong?
I hadn´t seen him for a few weeks,
and I was just kind of jonesing for his company.
And did he call you back?
No.
So I went over there, and...
that´s what´s got me so freaked out now.
He was acting so weird.
Josh, it´s me, Carmen.
( laughs )
Geez, I have been knocking
for, like, ten minutes.
How´d you get up here?
What kind of a greeting is that?
Uh, listen, Carmen...
now´s really not a good time.
( moans )
I´m drunk and I´m hungry.
Come on.
You make me some of your famous turkey chili.
Josh...!
Look, I have a lot of work to do.
Have you got
somebody in here?
Carmen, please.
Let me walk you downstairs, okay?
( groans and laughs )
No, no, no!
Damn it, Josh! What´s wrong with you?
I was joking around.
I´m sorry.
Never mind.
Carmen, I´m really sorry.
I´m really sorry.
I can´t imagine what was going on in there
that he couldn´t tell me.
Now, Josh withdrew
a lot of money from his account yesterday.
Could he have been running away?
From what?
He loves his life.
Maybe so, but he wouldn´t let you in.
He was hiding something.
Hundred grand and a mystery guest behind door number one.
It´s starting to feel like this guy left on his own volition.
Yeah, but there´s nothing in his profile
to suggest he´d do something like that.
You didn´t meet his parents.
Maybe he cracked
under the pressure of being Mr. Perfect,
grabbed a hundred g´s and jetted off to Bangkok.
And left $10 million in the bank?
It´ll be there when he gets back.
Okay, listen to this.
I just got a call from the harbor patrol.
They found a rowing scull floating under the docks
down by South Street Seaport.
The scull was from a private rowing club
up on the Harlem River.
They did a check.
The only boat that´s missing belongs to Josh Abrams.
Couple tourists spotted it caught below the deck about 40 minutes ago.
Well, that boathouse is what, eight miles up the river?
Yeah, but the harbormaster says it´s been choppy all day.
What about the traffic?
Busiest in the mornings, mostly heading north.
What did the divers find? Nothing so far.
We´re tying to track a flow pattern
from the Harlem River, but the currents are pretty fierce.
Forensic´s waiting to take a look
at the boat now.
DANNY: 536.
That´s definitely Josh´s.
Someone better call the family.
MR. ABRAMS: It doesn´t make any sense.
Josh would never go out
in this weather.
How often did he take his scull out?
Spring, summer, fall, a couple times a week,
but never in the winter.
Well, our forensics team examined the boat,
and the oar locks had been broken
with a tire iron.
What does that mean?
It means that they were probably
broken intentionally.
To make it look
like an accident?
Yeah.
Oh, my God!
Uh, wha-whatever happened with that student, um...
the one Josh was having problems with.
Did you find him?
We´re still working on that.
( sighs )
( knocking )
Hi. I´m Special Agent
Samantha Spade, with the FBI.
This is Special Agent Jack Malone.
We´re looking for Calvin Fuller.
What´s he done?
Nothing that we know of.
We just want to talk to him about a teacher
that´s gone missing.
Cal!
Cal, come out here.
They´re with the FBI.
They want to talk to you about that teacher.
What about him?
Cigarette?
No. No...
Thank you.
Thanks.
Um, you were having some problems
in Mr. Abrams´ class, I believe.
No, not really.
Really?
D´s, F´s, incompletes,
multiple absences...
So I haven´t been doing well lately, so what?
So what was your relationship with him?
Not much.
What about that kid
you punched out in class
a few months back?
How about him?
Mr. Abrams talk to you about that?
Wait a minute-- you think my son
had something to do
with this guy´s disappearance?
Look, I like Mr. Abrams.
He´s a good guy.
I´m the one
who´s been screwing around lately.
He had the right to give me bad grades.
Uh, would you mind if I used your bathroom?
Down the hall to the right.
Great.
You say you´ve been screwing around.
What do you mean, exactly?
( knocking )
Hi.
I´m Samantha Spade. I´m with the FBI.
Sam Spade--
like in
The Maltese Falcon?
Don´t remind me.
My mother was
a big Bogart fan.
I would´ve thought
that movie was a little bit before your time.
We read all the Hammett books last year in English.
Oh. Did you like them?
They´re okay, most of them.
What´s your name?
Teri.
Do you want to tell me what´s going on, Teri?
( voice breaking ): I can´t.
Why not?
Because I just can´t.
Who hit you?
We can protect you, Teri.
Yeah, right, I´ve heard that before.
Not from an FBI agent, you haven´t.
It´s my father.
Why did he hit you?
Because I was there,
and he was drunk.
Did Mr. Abrams know about this?
Yeah.
He saw me at school and came up to me.
I barely even know the guy,
but he really wanted to know
what happened.
I wouldn´t tell him, but, like,
I guess he knew about my dad because of Cal.
Did he confront your father?
He came over here that same night.
FATHER: It´s none of your business.
I think it is.
Yeah, how´s that?
Teri´s in my school. She is my responsibility.
Yeah, is that right? Yes, it is.
Dad!
What are you going to do about it, huh?
Now, you stay away!
Dad, stop!
Dad, come on! Get off!
Dad, stop! Dad, get off!
Do you hear me? You stay away,
or I´ll kill you!
Let go!
I don´t-- I don´t know how to say this...
but the night Mr. Abrams went missing,
Cal and I were at home,
and my dad didn´t get in until real late.
Now I´m afraid.
You think he did something to Mr. Abrams.
MARTIN: You´re working late.
( dry chuckle )
It´s been a tough day.
Any news about Josh?
What do you know about Gary Foler?
I´ve met him.
I know Josh was very worried about Cal.
Yeah.
Well, apparently he´s been smacking Teri around.
Josh went to confront him about it,
and it got a bit ugly.
Teri? Mm.
Have you talked to her?
Yes, I have.
Police brought her father in on assault charges,
and Social Services is watching her now.
Oh, man.
( sighs )
This is terrible of me, that I haven´t told you before,
but I was still hoping...
Trying to protect Josh.
Okay.
Josh has been a little
off lately.
He missed some faculty meetings.
He was late with some evaluations.
So I called him into my office last week.
What is going on with you, Josh?
I´m in love.
Well, that´s good news.
Not really.
( laughs ): Why not?
´Cause she´s a student.
Don´t tell me you´ve acted on it.
No. No.
Who is she?
Come on, you know I can´t tell you that.
You´re a great teacher.
Why jeopardize everything you´ve built here?
I don´t know.
I just can´t get her out of my mind.
My whole life,
it´s been about doing the right thing.
But this...
Just being around her is unbelievably exciting.
Stu, I´ve never felt like this before.
You be careful, Josh.
And you never reported this?
I didn´t think there was anything to report.
He hadn´t acted on it.
Any idea who she is?
Well, I started keeping my eyes open after that.
At first, I thought it was Reilly Martin--
the girl you talked to earlier.
But now...
But now you think it´s Teri.
WOMAN: Well, I-I don´t know how she got out.
I went to the bathroom for a few minutes,
and-and she must´ve dashed out.
Where´s Cal?
He´s in his room.
He´s very upset.
Where´s Teri? I don´t know.
Did she say anything before she left? No.
Cal!
I don´t know where she is, alright?!
She´s gone!
What do you want from me?
Okay... Cal, how long has this been going on
between Mr. Abrams and Teri?
I don´t know.
A couple of months, I think.
And you didn´t take these pictures? No.
Do you know who did? No.
Did your father see these?
Does he know about this?
Cal, is this why he hit Teri?
I don´t know. Probably.
( sighs )
Alright, you´re going to have to come to the office
with me right now. Let´s go.
( phone ringing )
( on voicemail ): It´s Teri.
You know what to do.
It´s Cal.
I´m worried about you.
Call me on my cell.
Every ten minutes, okay?
She´s got to call back sooner or later.
Let´s hope so.
Look, the father found out about it, killed Abrams.
She´s scared, and now she´s running.
Or she´s running away to meet Josh and $100,000.
I don´t believe it.
Why, because that means she took us for fools?
Okay, what about the boat?
Josh broke the oar locks himself,
made it look as if he´d been killed.
Give him a shot at a new life.
What about her?
Well, if I´m right, she went voluntarily.
She´s 16, Viv.
It´s statutory rape, it is kidnapping,
and he is a fugitive.
She´s 17 in three weeks, and if she consented to go...
Without her father´s permission.
It´s a hard case
to make, Sam, and you know it.
I don´t think it´s that hard.
We´re back to Cal´s father.
A Ford Taurus was spotted
outside the boathouse that morning.
She´s scared.
What´s this?
JACK: What do you think it is?
We found 30 more
just like it in Teri´s room.
I´ve never seen this before.
I think you have.
I think that´s why you hit Teri.
I swear to God, I´ve never hit Teri.
Selective memory.
JACK ( over speaker ): Okay, what about this?
This guy, this teacher...
sticking it to your daughter?
And then he comes into your house,
he tries to tell you what´s what.
Be enough to set you off, wouldn´t it?
I didn´t do anything to him.
You threatened to kill him
three days before he disappeared.
It was just talk.
What would you do if some guy
came into your home and told you how to be
with your family?
Where were you two nights ago?
GARY: Um...
I was at home, watching TV with the kids.
Really?
That´s not what they say.
They say you were out.
Didn´t come in until after 2:00.
They´re lying.
Why would they do that?
I don´t know. They´re always bitching.
Come on, Gary, your car was seen
outside the Harlem River Boat Club
the morning of the disappearance.
What´re you talking about?
Abrams´ boat.
You put it in the river.
You broke the oars to make it look like an accident.
What boat? I have no idea
what you´re talking about!
( sighs )
Look...
I´m not the world´s best father,
and I´ve got a problem with my temper when I drink.
But I´m not a killer.
Okay, I found a little wrinkle.
Stuart Wesmar,
our cooperative assistant principal,
friend and mentor of Josh-- he filed an Internal
Conduct Report on Teri Foler
six months ago.
Wait, wait, I thought he said he barely knew her.
Yeah. And, according to this report,
she propositioned him sexually in order to get a grade change.
She was transferred
out of his class, and no action was taken.
I think you´re going
to like this, Martin.
Somebody from the school called Teri
on her cell phone six times over the last two days.
Had to be Wesmar.
The son of a bitch has been lying to us
Yep. since minute one.
Okay, I was calling her because after Josh disappeared,
I thought she might know something.
MARTIN: And you somehow
failed to mention that to me before?
I called lots of students that day.
Come on, Mr. Wesmar.
You really didn´t think
we were going to find this report?
I don´t recall this incident.
´Cause teenage girls hit on you every day and...
I didn´t say that.
Do you, uh...
Do you recognize these?
Huh?
Let´s see... that-that´s Josh, that´s Teri.
Mm-hmm...
Very intimate poses.
Telephoto lens.
DANNY: We know
you took those, Stuart.
That´s crazy.
That´s crazy?
That´s crazy. That´s crazy.
Okay. Fine.
You don´t want to tell us, we´ll tell you.
It all started
when Teri made a pass at you.
Oh, you know, this girl´s sexy, but, uh,
she´s not for me.
So that´s when you came up with this harebrained idea.
You knew how desperate Teri was to get away from her father,
so you went to her
with a plan to help her do just that.
Yeah.
All she had to do was set her sights on Josh,
because he was the perfect mark, right?
Repressed Mama´s boy.
Never been in love.
And you would know this, because you were his...
friend.
And if anybody needed a little passion, it was him,
so...
you just take your sweet little pictures here,
and at the right moment...
you drop them on Josh,
and then you get yourself a little bankroll.
And then you and Teri split the money.
I think you´re on the right track.
Damn right.
Okay, look, it wasn´t like I forced her.
You know?
She was into the idea.
How much can we get?
Are you kidding?
The guy made millions
when he got out of that Internet company.
He´d probably drop a couple hundred grand easy
just to keep us quiet.
Well, what if he doesn´t go for it?
Well, for me, I mean.
Oh, come on.
I´ve seen your intro.
It´s very convincing.
No. I-I don´t know.
I mean, Mr. Abrams is a really good guy, you know?
Doesn´t that make it easier?
Shut up.
Teri, $100,000 would make a very nice start
for you somewhere.
We might even get more.
He is pretty cute, isn´t he?
( chuckles )
DANNY: It seemed like a good plan.
What went wrong?
I don´t know.
She kept saying,
"We should get more explicit photos.
We could get more money out of him that way."
Then Josh disappears.
Teri says she doesn´t know where he went or why,
and now she´s gone.
She totally shafted me.
He was your friend.
Why would you do this to him, hmm?
Hmm? Why?
Walks around the school like a damn Mother Teresa,
thinking he´s going to change everyone´s lives.
Everybody´s hero,
and there I am.
18 years in, and never get higher
than assistant principal making
$61,000 a year.
I just wanted to get something back for myself.
Where are they, Mr. Wesmar, hmm?
I swear to God, the thing got out of my hands.
I have no idea where either of them are.
Maybe her father was telling the truth.
Maybe she was the one who drove the car up to the boathouse.
And broke the oar locks by herself? No way.
Yeah. With Wesmar´s help.
He wants to keep his bee clean, trust me.
He does not want to get involved with anything...
Somebody must have helped her carry that boat.
( sighs )
How about the brother?
Did we get any prints off the boat?
No. It was clean.
You know, I´m not so sure.
SAMANTHA: We won´t have the results back
for a few minutes.
Sit down.
Sit down!
Sit!
SAMANTHA: But we know what they´re going to show,
don´t we, Cal?
They´ll match the prints on his boat.
Look, I didn´t do anything.
Right.
Dedicated teacher
gets killed by a student he´s trying to help.
How old are you, sunshine?
What? 18?
Huh? 18?
Right?
That´s Murder One.
Makes you a classic candidate
for a lethal injection.
Don´t try to protect Teri.
She´s gone.
She´s not protecting you.
Cal, what are you...?
You slut! What the hell are these?
No! Don´t freak out, okay?
I know what I´m doing!
Are you sleeping with him?
No. No. It´s not what you think.
I-I´m doing it for us.
Oh, yeah, right, for us.
Cal, Cal, you know how rich he is.
He´s not going to want these to get around.
What are you talking about?
Just think about it, Cal.
We´ll be able to get away.
SAMANTHA: So you were the one
who gave her the black eye, not your father.
Yeah.
And what was the plan?
She was going to show him the pictures and get the money,
but he beat her to the punch.
Out of the blue, he says he wants to run off.
Why?
He wants
to protect me from Dad.
He already took out 100 grand in cash.
Look, I don´t get it.
First thing tomorrow, he´s taking off.
I´ll wait a couple of days,
then I´ll go meet him.
I´ll take the money...
and you´ll be waiting for me outside the motel.
The motel. Where?
I don´t... I don´t know yet.
He´s going to call me once he gets settled.
Okay.
Look, she told me to go down to the boathouse
and do that crap to his boat.
She said it´d give us
more lead time.
Distract everyone.
JACK: You ever watch
Double Indemnity?
You ought to.
You got played.
I guess so.
Sounds like she had everyone
wrapped around her little finger.
Come on, Viv. You´ve seen the family.
She´s just trying to survive.
Yeah, well, she got her meal ticket now.
Yeah, and he got his victory for humanity.
( phone ringing )
Okay, I want you to speak slowly
and don´t say anything to alarm her.
You got it?
Okay, go ahead.
Hello.
Hi, Cal.
Where are you?
I can´t say.
Well, are you okay?
I´m fine.
I´m-I´m good.
Are you with him?
Yeah.
Teri, what are you doing?
I´m sorry.
I´ve got to go, okay?
What? So, are you going with him?
I´m getting rid of this phone now, so don´t
try to call me again, okay?
Take care of yourself, okay, Cal?
Albany.
( sighs )
We´ve got it narrowed down to a three-mile radius.
Traffic noise tells us it´s near a highway.
11:00 at night.
My guess is, she´s outside of a motel.
We´ll send in the locals.
Jack, this is a kidnapping.
She´ll be 17 in three weeks.
It´s a technicality.
This girl is damaged, okay?
And she is being taken advantage of.
Look, the life she´s leaving behind isn´t much better
with that father and that brother.
What do you want to do, put her in a foster home?
She´s just a kid.
Apparently, there´s no activity in the room.
Okay.
Okay, cover the bathroom.
Okay.
Bathroom´s clear.
He´s out, but he´s okay.
So where´s Teri?
She showed up tonight.
We popped a bottle of champagne.
I was so happy.
Then all of a sudden, the room started spinning,
and the last thing I saw was she took off
with the duffel bag.
Had all my money in it.
We were going to escape.
You´re a teacher.
She´s 16.
No, you don´t get it.
It wasn´t my idea.
It was all her.
So you got the money?
Yeah.
Right here.
Oh, wow.
This is crazy.
Are you sure you still want to do this?
What do you think?
You´re so bad.
I´m telling you, it´s going to be great.
( knock at door )
WOMAN: Josh?
Who is that?
Uh... stay here.
I´ll-I´ll be right back.
She played me.
She totally played me.
I´ll get you a Kleenex, you dope.
No, you don´t understand.
I would never, um...
I loved her.
Where were you going to go?
Up to Canada.
I´ll call Customs and the RCMP.
We´re not going to find her, are we?
Canadian border´s too hard to cover.
Yeah.
Pretty sophisticated plan, though.
She read Hammett, right?
Yeah.
Femme fatale.
Yeah.
I ran away when I was her age.
I´m not surprised.
How far did you get?
My mom tracked me down at the bus station
the next town over.
Did you catch hell?
I remember when I saw her...
just having someone look for me,
that was enough to keep me from trying it again.
It´s a good thing.
Yeah.
I got to, uh, pack up.
Alright.
Me, too.
Good night.
