Okay.
First thing they tell you to do in these situations Is we got to get to know each other.

My name is officer David Sutton MPD.
I'm from West Memphis, Arkansas, originally Just across the bridge.
But I always dreamed I'd wind up here in the big city, And here I am.
I put in an application on a On a new apartment today, downtown.
It's got a modern look.
And there's a there's a Starbucks Right there on the block.
City life.
Yeah.
Where I grew up, it was nothing but corn and cotton.
So I've known some tough times, too.
Hey, so, what about you? What's your story? You got a job? Uh I work outdoor accessories at brown hardware out on poplar.
Is that right? Yeah, you know Rocks for your garden, Pebbles, sprinkler heads, that kind of thing.
Well, hey, um Y'all don't have any of those, uh those Those bubbling water-fountain things, do you? You know, like the ones they got on the home-redo shows? You mean like a a Zen water feature? Yeah.
We don't keep them in stock.
Well Can you order them? Could do take a week.
Well, I swear to you, If I'm lucky enough to get this loft apartment, I'm gonna come in there And I'm gonna order that water fountain from you, okay? What's your name? Cyril Houston.
Nice to meet you, Mr.
Houston.
Now, let's talk about why you're up here.
Step back from the ledge.
Now now, look here.
Oh, no! No! Don't panic.
Stay away! No! They're just here to help you.

Now, just go ahead and tell us what happened.
Did you you lose your job? He's got a job! Did you lose your home? Is the bank foreclosing? That happening to you, Cyril? No! No! It ain't foreclosure! Did you commit a crime? 'cause I can promise you, It's probably not as illegal as you think.
We can work it out.
Unless it's murder.
But even then, man, we can work it out! Just shut up! Shut up! It's a woman! Good woman, too.
You got stains, Cyril.
You're still wearing your wedding ring, But your socks don't match.
Women don't tolerate that.
How long ago did she leave? Two months.
I'm guessing she was the woman of your dreams, And you were the one who screwed it all up.
But you said two months, right? Then you're still in the sweet spot.
You can win her back.
But not if you're splattered 10 feet across 1st Avenue.
Now, Cyril, I'm gonna ask you to start thinking like I do, okay? You are but a peasant in this vast kingdom called woman.
You know who's sitting on that throne up there in that castle? Your wife.
You get me? Now, you need to tell that woman, The old Cyril he's dead.
And you've been reborn to serve her Every day, every hour and never fail her again.
And if you pledge that, she will come back, And she'll stay.
You can fix this, man.
Damn it, now go to her.

This line is too long.
Baby, I got to go.
In my office, please.
We got a missing miss Southern appeal.
Mrs.
Hatcher, where was the last place your daughter was seen? Our house, this morning.
It was a a little after 8:00.
Um, I-ivy is A miss Southern appeal contestant.
The pageant is this Friday night.
This morning was the founders brunch.
She was supposed to give the welcome speech.
We let her drive herself this year but she never made it.
How old is your daughter, Mrs.
Hatcher? Thank you.
She's 17.
And does she have any reason to even think about running away, As far as you're concerned? No.
None.
You know, teenagers have a way of losing track of time.
I got a good feeling Ivy might turn up in an hour or so.
No! No, you don't understand.
Ivy is the most responsible, mature young lady.
And, also, it's It's miss Southern appeal.
She's been working toward this since she was a kid.
She wouldn't miss it.
Everyone thinks this is her year.
We're gonna need to take a quick look around your house, ma'am.
Sure.
Okay.
Lord, have mercy.
Look at the size of this place.
Rich girl lost in this city Never a good thing.
Detectives, please, come right in.
Mrs.
Hatcher.
Hello.
Glen hatcher.
Thank you for coming out here.
This is Ivy's father.
I've called all her friends, their parents.
Nothing.
Do you have any idea what route Ivy might have taken To get to this brunch? Jefferson Avenue, I assume.
She wasn't allowed to drive on the highway.
We should be checking the highway, too.
Well, Ivy is capable of breaking a rule from time to time.
You know, it's her birthday on Friday.
Her sister came home from school to be here.
Excuse me.
The Montgomerys have arrived.
Oh.
Would you be so kind as to excuse us for a moment? George, would you take them up to Ivy's room, please? Yes, ma'am.
Right this way.
This is miss Ivy's room.
You, uh, got any ideas where Ivy might be, George? I'm afraid not, sir.
You'll excuse me.
Teenage girl lives in this room? Quite cleanly.
All her books are school books No beach reading, no romances.
it's like a show or something.
Where's the kid? Where's Ivy? Hey, there.
You Ivy's sister? Jess.
Are you gonna find her? We're working on it, Jess.
So, you got any ideas about Ivy? Any chance she could be holing up with a boyfriend right now? I don't think so, but, I'm like, useless, 'cause I've been, like, exiled at boarding school.
Whitehead here will bet you 20 bucks that ain't true, You being useless.
Come on, now.
We can tell you can use it.
Actually She always kept a diary in there.
'fraid I can't read this, Jess.
No way.
I can't believe it.
The whole thing's in jevly.
We spent, like, an entire summer at our grandparents' house making this up.
You still fluent in jevly? No, it's been literally years, And, uh It's so complicated.
Boarding-school brain like you? Come on.
And do me a favor don't tell your parents.
Diary's your sister's thing, you know what I mean? Okay.
Let me know As soon as you translate something, all right? I'll do it right now.
Then I'll text you.
"to Ivy, the most beautiful girl in the whole wide world.
"you inspire my dreams.
"you will always be my very favorite girl.
LoveJm.
" I think I know this creep.
Boyfriend? Hope to hell not.
Hi, y'all.
county.
I got greenback talking to all her little friends.
I put an APB out on the car.
Her mom and dad got her driving a BMW.
She's only 17 years old.
Can you believe this? We're in the middle of a recession, And we got that kind of crap going on.
Have a little respect.
It's a Memphis tradition.
Oh, yeah, that's right.
I forgot about your ex-wife.
You got a thing for beauty queens.
Jimmy Masterson! Dwight! Man, how long has it been? You're big-time now, huh, buddy? Pageant director.
Well how the heck are you? How's Alexandra doing these days? We got married.
You did? Gosh, I see her parents at fundraisers all the time.
They never mentioned that.
Yeah.
You got something unseemly going on with Ivy hatcher? What? INo.
No, I am a mentor, Dwight.
You're reading that thing all wrong.
Right.
Well, Ivy's missing, Jimmy.
What do you mean, "missing"? She didn't make it to the founders brunch.
You didn't notice? Oh, don't tell me you weren't there, either, Jim.
Where were you this morning Penning some more love letters to minors? My God, Dwight.
I was at home on the phone from 8:00 A.
M.
To 11:00 With some of the most prominent business owners in this city, Killing myself to cover the costs of this pageant.
Well, you need to give every one of their names and numbers To my partner.
You got a breath mint, whitehead? Phew! What's that wild Turkey? Little early for wild Turkey For a guy who spends all his time mentoring young girls, Don't you think, Jim? Huh? Don't go anywhere.
Alex, are you there? Dwight.
Hey.
Well, come on in.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Excuse the mess.
But I am testing out recipes For my new summer menu.
Quick question Jimmy Masterson ever cross the line with you? Excuse me? It's a work thing.
You told me he had some kind of crush on you during pageant.
Oh, please.
Okay, well, what about the other girls? No.
It wasn't like that with him.
He was just the pageant owner's dorky son, Tagging along with us everywhere we went.
What do you mean, "tagging along"? You know, like, mud island park The pageant girls would hang out there nights With college boys.
'cept Jimmy wasn't in college.
Jimmy was 35.
What? No, he was not.
Guy's 50 years old.
When you did miss Southern appeal, You were 17, sweetheart.
Makes him 35.
Ugh.
So, you got any customers yet? You need to get organized, Alex.
Need to put the word out.
You need to hustle.
Don't take no Dwight, I know! Look, it just takes time.
Look at Paula Deen.
DorothySullivan.
She said that she made out with him.
Wow.
Why? Did Jimmy do something wrong? Hello, Dwight? What's going on? Hendricks.
Jim Masterson's alibi don't check out.
Neighbors saw him stumbling home this morning around 11:00, Still in last night's clothes.
And we got a bad development, Dwight.
All right.
I got to run.
Good to see you.
Ivy hatcher's car.
It's been wiped down, vacuumed.
No fibers, no hairs, nothing.
But they forgot the gear shift.
We got one big, fat thumbprint, detectives.
And it was left in blood.
Yeah, it's true we have not made our premium payment, But I am assured by the insurance company That our policy is still enforced.
Oh, uh, Dwight.
Uh, not a good time right now.
These are our board members.
Please.
Whoa.
With my board of directors.
Caused me great embarrassment.
Remember the magical night back in '94 When you crossed the line with a minor? Huh? Mud island park? Huh, Jim? Same place we found Ivy's car? Well, Dorothy Sullivan sure remembers you.
Grab his hand, whitehead.
Hold it down.
No! What is that? You lied to us about your alibi.
Hold him, whitehead! Please! Please, don't hurt me! I didn't have anything to do with this Stop your twitching! Oh! Oh, God! We got a girl missing, Jim.
Okay, okay, okay.
Wait.
Just wait.
Just wait.
It's possible I am currently having a d-drinking problem.
The pressure lately.
Everyone wants everything to be exactly like it always was, But the money isn't the same.
Last night, I passed out on a bench, Like some kind of Bummer.
And a cop threw me in the drunk tank.
They kept me overnight.
I missed the brunch.
I don't know where Ivy is.
Oh.
Who was the arresting officer? H-he was tall, thin, maybe a mustache.
Called me "turd for brains" Repeatedly.
That'd be stuttering Willie Morris Down at the 8th.
Hold him, whitehead.
No.
No! No! Please.
Please! Please! Oh.
Please do not panic, but we have a very, very, very serious situation on our hands.
Ivy hatcher is missing.
Please, girls, no.
Girls, don't don't panic.
Girls, girls.
Hello? Girls, girls?! Come on, now.
You all need to reach deep down inside yourselves And remember who you are.
You are the miss Southern appeals.
And we won't be able to bring Ivy home without your help.
So I need you to employ the full resources Of your female instincts When my team approaches you about Ivy, okay? Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
I thank you ladies in advance.
Excuse me.
I truly believe that I can be vital To the future of this investigation.
This morning, I was in the bathroom here, And I heard the garbage ringing, And underneath a ton of trash, There was this sweet cellphone That my parents refuse to buy me.
I saw that it was Ivy's But I took it anyway.
You should check the call log.
Who's Kate Caldwell? Miss bluff city.
I truly believe that it is unusual for those two to talk Because they are historically enemies, With each one either winning first or second place In almost every pageant.
Miss Southern pearl, thank you for your answer.
Thank you.
nearer, my God, to thee nearer to thee e'en though it be a cross that The detectives.
I heard you were here.
Detective Hendricks.
Detective white.
Kate.
My coach, the esteemed Mr.
Bobby Tyme.
What can I do for you, gentlemen? Well, Kate, uh You were the last person Ivy hatcher called Before she went missing.
She tried you six times last night.
What did you talk about? I only saw she called once.
She wanted to know if sashes were mandatory at the brunch.
You know, not letting your dog's paws touch the ground Is a form of abuse, there, hot shot.
Whitehead, it ain't your dog, man.
That's why he's so damn aggressive.
You know, you're probably too young to remember Tonya harding And her dirty boyfriend Gillooly.
He took out miss pretty perfect So that she could win the gold.
There are more important things than winning this, Like war and love and Why don't you cut the crap talk, bluff city? Now, where were you this morning? I was at the founders brunch.
With me and a hundred other people.
Put the dog on the ground now! Whitehead! He's cold! Look, everybody just calm down, all right? Truth is, you and Ivy, you're friends.
It's why she called you six times.
And it wasn't about sashes, was it? I'm sure it has nothing to do with this And Ivy would be so mad at me, Talking to you about her private business.
And I'm sure her parents are not involved The hatchers? They got into a terrible, terrible fight last night.
What is this about? I need to know about the fight y'all had last night.
Oh, please.
That's not relevant.
That ain't your call, Glen.
Lieutenant, could you please tell the Detective Is that the 5:00 news van out there? Press? Really? We're here to find your child, but you need to cooperate.
Now, is there anything else you need to tell us? The fight in question is because Ivy Was already sick of her car and wanted a new one.
Obviously, we refused.
She stormed off to bed.
But in the morning, all was peaceful.
And that is it.
Thank you.
Hatchers aren't telling us the whole story.
I'm gonna put buck and Carley on them, Not let them out of sight.
God, I hate rich people.
Oh, uh, question How about letting a caterer sell some food at the precinct? She does healthy stuff.
Somebody you're sleeping with? It's my ex-wife.
What, you don't want to pay alimony, So you're getting her a job? No.
What, you owe her a favor? Just Thought I'd help out.
Ah.
I see.
So, you thought it'd be a good idea To get your ex-wife a job at your place of employment, Where y'all will see each other every day.
Look, here's the deal we got married In a fever, okay? Lasted eight weeks.
Now we're friends.
Can't see the harm.
Clearly.
Well, I look forward to meeting this woman.
Ask her to come on in tomorrow.
Hey! Cut the camera! Pageant venue's got a ped janitor, But he's been in Bangkok for months.
Talked to everybody backstage, About half of Ivy's classmates.
Sweet girl, great grades, churchgoing, No dangerous habits Looking like Patty perfect.
Don't write your diary in some kind of secret code If you're perfect, nothing to hide.
What the hell's that mean? "sorry to say, this is taking too long.
10 pages.
" aggravated face.
"parents are watching.
More to come.
Mbs " my big sis "has been 24/7 " Spending all her time At swp " some weird place "bics.
" What's that? "bics" b-I-c-s? Beck's dollar clothing, maybe? No.
Bic's paradise.
It's a bar.
Why the hell would a pageant queen Be hanging out at a festering hole like bic's? She'd sit by herself, eating fries, chili, Cheeseburgers, all kinds of junk, 'bout maybe once a week, nighttime.
She's missing? Sheesh.
Gonna need to talk to your customers, bic.
Anybody with a record, Anybody ever looked at Ivy sideways.
You got me? Aw, come on.
You're lucky we don't shut your ass down, hot shot! Why you busting my chops? Because you let an underage girl hey, hey.
Hey, hey.
Hey.
Who's that on your arm, bic? It's Marla.
You know that.
And who introduced you to crazy Marla, there, huh? All right, all right.
Fine.
I'll get my busboys.
They're marines.
Anybody messed with that girl, they'll know.
Amount of lowlifes Could've gotten a taste of Ivy hanging out here This case just blew wide open.
We don't find Ivy soon, she could be dead.
Hendricks.
Dwight, we got an armed intruder at the hatcher house.
Out here.
He had a gun and this ransom note.
Said if we didn't give him all of these paintings, Ivy's dead.
Stay here.
Put your hands in the air now! Get on the ground! This is a misunderstanding, Dwight! "to the city trash can outside jive records on Beale streetooo Tomorrow at noon.
" Please listen to me.
I didn't have anything to do with this.
I found that note on Ivy's vanity backstage.
You found a ransom note? Yeah, it was just just sitting there.
And IRealized that I could use it For my specific needs If this cretin is telling the truth, Then who the hell wrote that note? Which I just, please, listen to me I didn't take Ivy.
No! You listen to me.
You are in big trouble, do you understand? Now, where is Ivy? I don't know.
Don't you dare lie to me, Jimmy Jr.
What would your daddy say if he could see you now? I know.
You must understand, I had to borrow from the pageant.
And then I I blew it all! But the hatchers have more than enough, damn it! And have you seen those people's art collection? Oh, Jim.
This was not bright.
Those people are the bad guys And Ivy she fainted twice at rehearsal.
And I heard her begging her mother to let her quit 'cause she was so exhausted.
But, oh, no.
Elizabeth refused.
They are the bad people.
I'm not.
I'm not.
It ain't him.
Jim's not a match on the print.
All right, what's the next step? Real kidnappers they'll reach out again.
What about bic's paradise? Well, the marines at bic's are great.
Turned us on to some gun-running bikers from Arkansas Harassing girls a few nights ago.
We got asd tracking them down.
Whoever wrote that note, it's somebody close.
Knew about her.
Knew about her parents having all that money.
I don't see how this is relevant! Lieutenant, this is outrageous! We had nothing to do with this! You should be out there finding who's got Ivy.
Our daughter is in danger.
You were right Memphis country club Gives this stationery to all its members.
The hatchers have been members for 15 years.
Thought they could tear off the logo, But they forgot about the watermark.
Club crest's as clear as day.
Fight with Ivy wasn't about her damn car.
It was about her wanting to quit the pageant.
They said no 'cause winning means more to them Than their own daughter.
Then it gets physical, something happened to Ivy, And then they set this kidnapping up to throw us off.
The hatchers deny knowing anything about that note.
And their lawyer says no more questions without an arrest.
So arrest them.
Stationery's not enough, Dwight.
There's a hundred members that belong to that club And 50 employees.
Whatever the story is here, I'm telling you, damn it, those people are to blame.
Excuse me.
Sergeant lightfoot, what the hell is that? Go see the medic.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I was just changing the bandages.
Sorry.
It's nothing.
Just a flesh wound.
Wife stabbed me.
Uh, listen, Dwight.
There's a little girl in a cab downstairs.
She's freaking out.
She says she will not come in unless she can talk to you.
Jess, what's going on? I finished it.
My parents were always hard on Ivy, But Since I went away, I guess it got so much worse.
When she upset them They'd lock her out back And make her sleep in a broken-down shed On the back of our property.
That's what they did the night she went missing.
Uh, the the night? She usually wrote in the mornings But not that morning.
Here it is.
Least I could do was give her a decent bed If they were gonna do this to her.
I should've called you all.
When's the last time you made this bed? Don't look like somebody slept in it.
Look, truth is, I don't think she'd been sleeping here for months.
She'd be here in the morning when they sent me for her, But she was going somewhere else at nights.
She wasn't here that morning, was she? Hatchers been lying from the start of this whole thing.
Ivy went missing that night after they sent her out here.
Where do you think she went? Bic's is a mile from here.
Why she was going there nights all the time Get away from this place.
Let's go, whitehead.
All right.
Call you back.
The marines swear that she wasn't here that night, And there are no security cameras.
Ah, she was here, whitehead.
Is that Son of a bitch.
We busted him three months ago Five hidden cameras in the men's toilet.
And lo and behold, this filthy creep's back at it again.
Camera had a bird's-eye view out the men's bathroom window, Right into bic's parking lot.
Calamitous for him, serendipitous for us.
There's Ivy, damn it.
She was there that night.
Whoa.
W-who's that? Go back.
Can you blow it up? Yes, sure.
I knew it.
It's that beauty queen miss, uh, what's it called? Miss bluff city.
And you have no morals.
You don't know me.
Oh, I know you're a liar.
This tape has you at bic's paradise.
You get there two minutes after your friend Ivy On the night she went missing.
Now, what the hell are you doing at a biker bar At 10:00 at night And not telling us about it, little princess? Because it's nothing.
Look, I drove Ivy's car down to mud island park So her father could pick it up for servicing.
For servicing at 10:00 at night? Do you think I'm stupid? I've been around little snake-eyed girls like you My whole life, and being pretty makes them mean as dirt.
Just because I'm in pageants Doesn't mean I'm vain, superficial, or snide.
You suffer from a lack of imagination, Detective.
I know about what's important in life.
Where's Ivy? And blizzards interspersed with driving rain.
" Ovid.
"had no friend to forgo my bail.
"they slapped my dried-up carcass In the county jail.
" Johnny cash.
Hey.
Oh, don't let me interrupt.
How's it going out there? all gone.
I knew it'd catch on.
I got to go home and restock.
I'm gonna bring back extra-smoked tofu wraps.
You're gonna love them, Dwight, I swear.
You're gonna start craving them like mad.
You're gonna start craving them like mad.
She fainted twice at rehearsal.
Eating fries, chili, cheeseburgers.
Ivy's pregnant.
How long have you known, Kate? Why she was craving all that junk food at bic's.
Why she was sick, wanted to quit the pageant.
Who's the guy who got her pregnant? Look, I'm sure you know by now about the shed And the horrible way her parents would treat her.
Those people are monsters.
They did this.
You should be looking at them! Who is he, Kate? 9 times out of 10, a pregnant girl goes missing, It's the guy who did it.
Why'd you say that poem? Why do you keep talking about war? You know those marines at bic's? Let's go, whitehead.
Which one of you? Huh? Who crossed the line with Ivy? Huh?! Was it you?! We got alibis on all of them? John Morris, Arvin marchman, saleed hass, Raleigh flank, T.
K.
Carter, and Paul Lawrence.
Two too many.
Who ain't working tonight? Saleed's off.
Raleigh's been out sick two days.
Right when Ivy went missing.
What's Raleigh's alibi? Said he went jogging with two of these characters In overton park.
Well, he don't have an alibi, then, 'cause these guys have been lying About the whole thing from the start! Let's go find Raleigh before it's too late.
Roger, 43.
Possible kidnap victim Ivy hatcher.
Caucasian female, 17 years old.
Suspect Raleigh flank, former marine, Believed to be armed and dangerous.
Proceed with caution.
Down on your knees, hands on your head now! Get down! Where is she?! Where's Ivy?! I-in the bedroom! B-back back down the hall.
What is going on?! It's okay, Ivy.
Don't worry.
We got Raleigh subdued.
No! No! Raleigh! Baby, it's okay! No! Hang on.
No, no, he didn't do anything! Calm down.
No, he didn't do anything! Please! No! Raleigh! No! We met at bic's, And one night, I let him walk me back to the shed.
He saw it, and he got so upset, and that was That was Well, I guess that's when we started to fall in love.
The day I found out about the baby Was the day Raleigh got called up for a third tour, And we we had to do something.
Don't worry.
Don't worry, darling.
Miss bluff city and the other guys from bic's, They helped us with our plan, But the ransom note was our idea.
I'm turning 18 tonight, so we can leave the country.
But please the second my parents find out about this, They will see to it that I never see Raleigh ever again.
And they will never let me keep my baby.
And it doesn't matter that I'll be an adult tonight.
Unless we disappear, they will never let me be free.
Hey! I just found all my food in the garbage, uneaten, Like they didn't even take a bite.
You put them all up to it, didn't you? They paid in real money, didn't they? Dwight, I didn't ask you to fix my business for me.
You just went ahead.
You always just go ahead, and you make me feel like a fool.
How does me helping you out make you feel like a fool? Okay.
All right, well, you have a good day, Dwight.
You know, we have a tribal saying "to help your wife across the raging River, "it is better to lay down on the rocks for her Than to build a dam.
" Your wife stabbed you, Jody.
Whitehead's right.
Ain't okay, the way she treats you.
You ought to do something about that.
The hatchers are back.
They're determined to put this kid away.
Listen, it ain't right throwing the book on those kids.
They can plead guilty to abuse of police resources, Get probation.
But jail time? These are just young kids.
Yeah, Dwight And we both know what those people in there were doing to that girl And what they'll do if they get their hands on her again.
Dwight, I just sent an e-mail to the d.
A.
10 minutes ago saying all this, and he agrees.
Good.
'cause I released them 20 minutes ago.
Whoa, whoa! Ivy can't leave without a guardian.
She was 18 as of midnight.
These two kids they deserve a chance to be together.
You surprise me, Hendricks.
Ladies and gentlemen, Please give it up for Dwight Hendricks.
You need to get a chain for the door.
You were trying to help.
No, I'm listen.
Really, though, I-I-I was I-I shouldn't try to fix everything for you.
I should just try to be your friend.
All right? Yeah.
All right.
Sorry I g I love you.
First thing they tell you to do in these situations Is we got to get to know each other.
I'll start.
My name is officer David Sutton MPD.
I'm from West Memphis, Arkansas, originally Just across the bridge.
But I always dreamed I'd wind up here in the big city, And here I am.
I put in an application on a On a new apartment today, downtown.
It's got a modern look.
And there's a there's a Starbucks Right there on the block.
City life.
Yeah.
Where I grew up, it was nothing but corn and cotton.
So I've known some tough times, too.
Hey, so, what about you? What's your story? You got a job? Uh I work outdoor accessories at brown hardware out on poplar.
Is that right? Yeah, you know Rocks for your garden, Pebbles, sprinkler heads, that kind of thing.
Well, hey, um Y'all don't have any of those, uh those Those bubbling water-fountain things, do you? You know, like the ones they got on the home-redo shows? You mean like a a Zen water feature? Yeah.
We don't keep them in stock.
Well Can you order them? Could do take a week.
Well, I swear to you, If I'm lucky enough to get this loft apartment, I'm gonna come in there And I'm gonna order that water fountain from you, okay? What's your name? Cyril Houston.
Nice to meet you, Mr.
Houston.
Now, let's talk about why you're up here.
Step back from the ledge.
Now now, look here.
Oh, no! No! Don't panic.
Stay away! No! They're just here to help you.
Get off me! Stop! Hey, man! Don't do it, kid! Now, why don't you go ahead and tell us Just go ahead and tell us what your name is! His name is Cyril Houston! I got this, guys! Cyril, you ain't got to do this, babe.
Now, just go ahead and tell us what happened.
Did you you lose your job? He's got a job! Did you lose your home? Is the bank foreclosing? That happening to you, Cyril? No! No! It ain't foreclosure! Did you commit a crime? 'cause I can promise you, It's probably not as illegal as you think.
We can work it out.
Unless it's murder.
But even then, man, we can work it out! Just shut up! Shut up! It's a woman! Good woman, too.
You got stains, Cyril.
You're still wearing your wedding ring, But your socks don't match.
Women don't tolerate that.
How long ago did she leave? Two months.
I'm guessing she was the woman of your dreams, And you were the one who screwed it all up.
But you said two months, right? Then you're still in the sweet spot.
You can win her back.
But not if you're splattered 10 feet across 1st Avenue.
Now, Cyril, I'm gonna ask you to start thinking like I do, okay? You are but a peasant in this vast kingdom called woman.
You know who's sitting on that throne up there in that castle? Your wife.
You get me? Now, you need to tell that woman, The old Cyril he's dead.
And you've been reborn to serve her Every day, every hour and never fail her again.
And if you pledge that, she will come back, And she'll stay.
You can fix this, man.
Damn it, now go to her.
Thank you.
You're full of so many brands of bullshit.
You didn't tell that poor bastard How many women want to put buckshot in your ass.
Hey, those who can't do, they teach, right? where the beat is tough Memphis I can't get enough oh, well, it makes you tremble and it makes you weak gets in your blood, that Memphis beat oh, yeah you listen while I talk to you, now I tell you what we're gonna do, now there's a new thing a-going around, yeah and I'll tell you what it's puttin' down Whoo!

You should know better than this! Do you hear what I'm saying to you? Yes.
Tell her she can't talk to you that way.
She's your wife! And use your manly voice.
Stand up for yourself.
He's not gonna do that.
I can hear that you're angry.

You ever met a more docile creature than Jody here? He don't deserve this crap.
No, no, no.
That's their thing, baby.
Bitch, bitch, bitch.
Boink, boink, boink.
This line is too long.
Baby, I got to go.
In my office, please.
We got a missing miss Southern appeal.
Mrs.
Hatcher, where was the last place your daughter was seen? Our house, this morning.
It was a a little after 8:00.
Um, I-ivy is A miss Southern appeal contestant.
The pageant is this Friday night.
This morning was the founders brunch.
She was supposed to give the welcome speech.
We let her drive herself this year but she never made it.
How old is your daughter, Mrs.
Hatcher? Thank you.
She's 17.
And does she have any reason to even think about running away, As far as you're concerned? No.
None.
You know, teenagers have a way of losing track of time.
I got a good feeling Ivy might turn up in an hour or so.
No! No, you don't understand.
Ivy is the most responsible, mature young lady.
And, also, it's It's miss Southern appeal.
She's been working toward this since she was a kid.
She wouldn't miss it.
Everyone thinks this is her year.
We're gonna need to take a quick look around your house, ma'am.
Sure.
Okay.
Lord, have mercy.
Look at the size of this place.
Rich girl lost in this city Never a good thing.
Detectives, please, come right in.
Mrs.
Hatcher.
Hello.
Glen hatcher.
Thank you for coming out here.
This is Ivy's father.
I've called all her friends, their parents.
Nothing.
Do you have any idea what route Ivy might have taken To get to this brunch? Jefferson Avenue, I assume.
She wasn't allowed to drive on the highway.
We should be checking the highway, too.
Well, Ivy is capable of breaking a rule from time to time.
You know, it's her birthday on Friday.
Her sister came home from school to be here.
Excuse me.
The Montgomerys have arrived.
Oh.
Would you be so kind as to excuse us for a moment? George, would you take them up to Ivy's room, please? Yes, ma'am.
Right this way.
This is miss Ivy's room.
You, uh, got any ideas where Ivy might be, George? I'm afraid not, sir.
You'll excuse me.
Teenage girl lives in this room? Quite cleanly.
All her books are school books No beach reading, no romances.
it's like a show or something.
Where's the kid? Where's Ivy? Hey, there.
You Ivy's sister? Jess.
Are you gonna find her? We're working on it, Jess.
So, you got any ideas about Ivy? Any chance she could be holing up with a boyfriend right now? I don't think so, but, I'm like, useless, 'cause I've been, like, exiled at boarding school.
Whitehead here will bet you 20 bucks that ain't true, You being useless.
Come on, now.
We can tell you can use it.
Actually She always kept a diary in there.
'fraid I can't read this, Jess.
No way.
I can't believe it.
The whole thing's in jevly.
We spent, like, an entire summer at our grandparents' house making this up.
You still fluent in jevly? No, it's been literally years, And, uh It's so complicated.
Boarding-school brain like you? Come on.
And do me a favor don't tell your parents.
Diary's your sister's thing, you know what I mean? Okay.
Let me know As soon as you translate something, all right? I'll do it right now.
Then I'll text you.
"to Ivy, the most beautiful girl in the whole wide world.
"you inspire my dreams.
"you will always be my very favorite girl.
LoveJm.
" I think I know this creep.
Boyfriend? Hope to hell not.
Hi, y'all.
county.
I got greenback talking to all her little friends.
I put an APB out on the car.
Her mom and dad got her driving a BMW.
She's only 17 years old.
Can you believe this? We're in the middle of a recession, And we got that kind of crap going on.
Have a little respect.
It's a Memphis tradition.
Oh, yeah, that's right.
I forgot about your ex-wife.
You got a thing for beauty queens.
Jimmy Masterson! Dwight! Man, how long has it been? You're big-time now, huh, buddy? Pageant director.
Well how the heck are you? How's Alexandra doing these days? We got married.
You did? Gosh, I see her parents at fundraisers all the time.
They never mentioned that.
Yeah.
You got something unseemly going on with Ivy hatcher? What? INo.
No, I am a mentor, Dwight.
You're reading that thing all wrong.
Right.
Well, Ivy's missing, Jimmy.
What do you mean, "missing"? She didn't make it to the founders brunch.
You didn't notice? Oh, don't tell me you weren't there, either, Jim.
Where were you this morning Penning some more love letters to minors? My God, Dwight.
I was at home on the phone from 8:00 A.
M.
To 11:00 With some of the most prominent business owners in this city, Killing myself to cover the costs of this pageant.
Well, you need to give every one of their names and numbers To my partner.
You got a breath mint, whitehead? Phew! What's that wild Turkey? Little early for wild Turkey For a guy who spends all his time mentoring young girls, Don't you think, Jim? Huh? Don't go anywhere.
Alex, are you there? Dwight.
Hey.
Well, come on in.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Excuse the mess.
But I am testing out recipes For my new summer menu.
Quick question Jimmy Masterson ever cross the line with you? Excuse me? It's a work thing.
You told me he had some kind of crush on you during pageant.
Oh, please.
Okay, well, what about the other girls? No.
It wasn't like that with him.
He was just the pageant owner's dorky son, Tagging along with us everywhere we went.
What do you mean, "tagging along"? You know, like, mud island park The pageant girls would hang out there nights With college boys.
'cept Jimmy wasn't in college.
Jimmy was 35.
What? No, he was not.
Guy's 50 years old.
When you did miss Southern appeal, You were 17, sweetheart.
Makes him 35.
Ugh.
So, you got any customers yet? You need to get organized, Alex.
Need to put the word out.
You need to hustle.
Don't take no Dwight, I know! Look, it just takes time.
Look at Paula Deen.
DorothySullivan.
She said that she made out with him.
Wow.
Why? Did Jimmy do something wrong? Hello, Dwight? What's going on? Hendricks.
Jim Masterson's alibi don't check out.
Neighbors saw him stumbling home this morning around 11:00, Still in last night's clothes.
And we got a bad development, Dwight.
All right.
I got to run.
Good to see you.
Ivy hatcher's car.
It's been wiped down, vacuumed.
No fibers, no hairs, nothing.
But they forgot the gear shift.
We got one big, fat thumbprint, detectives.
And it was left in blood.
Yeah, it's true we have not made our premium payment, But I am assured by the insurance company That our policy is still enforced.
Oh, uh, Dwight.
Uh, not a good time right now.
These are our board members.
Please.
Whoa.
With my board of directors.
Caused me great embarrassment.
Remember the magical night back in '94 When you crossed the line with a minor? Huh? Mud island park? Huh, Jim? Same place we found Ivy's car? Well, Dorothy Sullivan sure remembers you.
Grab his hand, whitehead.
Hold it down.
No! What is that? You lied to us about your alibi.
Hold him, whitehead! Please! Please, don't hurt me! I didn't have anything to do with this Stop your twitching! Oh! Oh, God! We got a girl missing, Jim.
Okay, okay, okay.
Wait.
Just wait.
Just wait.
It's possible I am currently having a d-drinking problem.
The pressure lately.
Everyone wants everything to be exactly like it always was, But the money isn't the same.
Last night, I passed out on a bench, Like some kind of Bummer.
And a cop threw me in the drunk tank.
They kept me overnight.
I missed the brunch.
I don't know where Ivy is.
Oh.
Who was the arresting officer? H-he was tall, thin, maybe a mustache.
Called me "turd for brains" Repeatedly.
That'd be stuttering Willie Morris Down at the 8th.
Hold him, whitehead.
No.
No! No! Please.
Please! Please! Oh.
Please do not panic, but we have a very, very, very serious situation on our hands.
Ivy hatcher is missing.
Please, girls, no.
Girls, don't don't panic.
Girls, girls.
Hello? Girls, girls?! Come on, now.
You all need to reach deep down inside yourselves And remember who you are.
You are the miss Southern appeals.
And we won't be able to bring Ivy home without your help.
So I need you to employ the full resources Of your female instincts When my team approaches you about Ivy, okay? Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
I thank you ladies in advance.
Excuse me.
I truly believe that I can be vital To the future of this investigation.
This morning, I was in the bathroom here, And I heard the garbage ringing, And underneath a ton of trash, There was this sweet cellphone That my parents refuse to buy me.
I saw that it was Ivy's But I took it anyway.
You should check the call log.
Who's Kate Caldwell? Miss bluff city.
I truly believe that it is unusual for those two to talk Because they are historically enemies, With each one either winning first or second place In almost every pageant.
Miss Southern pearl, thank you for your answer.
Thank you.
nearer, my God, to thee nearer to thee e'en though it be a cross that The detectives.
I heard you were here.
Detective Hendricks.
Detective white.
Kate.
My coach, the esteemed Mr.
Bobby Tyme.
What can I do for you, gentlemen? Well, Kate, uh You were the last person Ivy hatcher called Before she went missing.
She tried you six times last night.
What did you talk about? I only saw she called once.
She wanted to know if sashes were mandatory at the brunch.
You know, not letting your dog's paws touch the ground Is a form of abuse, there, hot shot.
Whitehead, it ain't your dog, man.
That's why he's so damn aggressive.
You know, you're probably too young to remember Tonya harding And her dirty boyfriend Gillooly.
He took out miss pretty perfect So that she could win the gold.
There are more important things than winning this, Like war and love and Why don't you cut the crap talk, bluff city? Now, where were you this morning? I was at the founders brunch.
With me and a hundred other people.
Put the dog on the ground now! Whitehead! He's cold! Look, everybody just calm down, all right? Truth is, you and Ivy, you're friends.
It's why she called you six times.
And it wasn't about sashes, was it? I'm sure it has nothing to do with this And Ivy would be so mad at me, Talking to you about her private business.
And I'm sure her parents are not involved The hatchers? They got into a terrible, terrible fight last night.
What is this about? I need to know about the fight y'all had last night.
Oh, please.
That's not relevant.
That ain't your call, Glen.
Lieutenant, could you please tell the Detective Is that the 5:00 news van out there? Press? Really? We're here to find your child, but you need to cooperate.
Now, is there anything else you need to tell us? The fight in question is because Ivy Was already sick of her car and wanted a new one.
Obviously, we refused.
She stormed off to bed.
But in the morning, all was peaceful.
And that is it.
Thank you.
Hatchers aren't telling us the whole story.
I'm gonna put buck and Carley on them, Not let them out of sight.
God, I hate rich people.
Oh, uh, question How about letting a caterer sell some food at the precinct? She does healthy stuff.
Somebody you're sleeping with? It's my ex-wife.
What, you don't want to pay alimony, So you're getting her a job? No.
What, you owe her a favor? Just Thought I'd help out.
Ah.
I see.
So, you thought it'd be a good idea To get your ex-wife a job at your place of employment, Where y'all will see each other every day.
Look, here's the deal we got married In a fever, okay? Lasted eight weeks.
Now we're friends.
Can't see the harm.
Clearly.
Well, I look forward to meeting this woman.
Ask her to come on in tomorrow.
Hey! Cut the camera! Pageant venue's got a ped janitor, But he's been in Bangkok for months.
Talked to everybody backstage, About half of Ivy's classmates.
Sweet girl, great grades, churchgoing, No dangerous habits Looking like Patty perfect.
Don't write your diary in some kind of secret code If you're perfect, nothing to hide.
What the hell's that mean? "sorry to say, this is taking too long.
10 pages.
" aggravated face.
"parents are watching.
More to come.
Mbs " my big sis "has been 24/7 " Spending all her time At swp " some weird place "bics.
" What's that? "bics" b-I-c-s? Beck's dollar clothing, maybe? No.
Bic's paradise.
It's a bar.
Why the hell would a pageant queen Be hanging out at a festering hole like bic's? She'd sit by herself, eating fries, chili, Cheeseburgers, all kinds of junk, 'bout maybe once a week, nighttime.
She's missing? Sheesh.
Gonna need to talk to your customers, bic.
Anybody with a record, Anybody ever looked at Ivy sideways.
You got me? Aw, come on.
You're lucky we don't shut your ass down, hot shot! Why you busting my chops? Because you let an underage girl hey, hey.
Hey, hey.
Hey.
Who's that on your arm, bic? It's Marla.
You know that.
And who introduced you to crazy Marla, there, huh? All right, all right.
Fine.
I'll get my busboys.
They're marines.
Anybody messed with that girl, they'll know.
Amount of lowlifes Could've gotten a taste of Ivy hanging out here This case just blew wide open.
We don't find Ivy soon, she could be dead.
Hendricks.
Dwight, we got an armed intruder at the hatcher house.
Out here.
He had a gun and this ransom note.
Said if we didn't give him all of these paintings, Ivy's dead.
Stay here.
Put your hands in the air now! Get on the ground! This is a misunderstanding, Dwight! "to the city trash can outside jive records on Beale streetooo Tomorrow at noon.
" Please listen to me.
I didn't have anything to do with this.
I found that note on Ivy's vanity backstage.
You found a ransom note? Yeah, it was just just sitting there.
And IRealized that I could use it For my specific needs If this cretin is telling the truth, Then who the hell wrote that note? Which I just, please, listen to me I didn't take Ivy.
No! You listen to me.
You are in big trouble, do you understand? Now, where is Ivy? I don't know.
Don't you dare lie to me, Jimmy Jr.
What would your daddy say if he could see you now? I know.
You must understand, I had to borrow from the pageant.
And then I I blew it all! But the hatchers have more than enough, damn it! And have you seen those people's art collection? Oh, Jim.
This was not bright.
Those people are the bad guys And Ivy she fainted twice at rehearsal.
And I heard her begging her mother to let her quit 'cause she was so exhausted.
But, oh, no.
Elizabeth refused.
They are the bad people.
I'm not.
I'm not.
It ain't him.
Jim's not a match on the print.
All right, what's the next step? Real kidnappers they'll reach out again.
What about bic's paradise? Well, the marines at bic's are great.
Turned us on to some gun-running bikers from Arkansas Harassing girls a few nights ago.
We got asd tracking them down.
Whoever wrote that note, it's somebody close.
Knew about her.
Knew about her parents having all that money.
I don't see how this is relevant! Lieutenant, this is outrageous! We had nothing to do with this! You should be out there finding who's got Ivy.
Our daughter is in danger.
You were right Memphis country club Gives this stationery to all its members.
The hatchers have been members for 15 years.
Thought they could tear off the logo, But they forgot about the watermark.
Club crest's as clear as day.
Fight with Ivy wasn't about her damn car.
It was about her wanting to quit the pageant.
They said no 'cause winning means more to them Than their own daughter.
Then it gets physical, something happened to Ivy, And then they set this kidnapping up to throw us off.
The hatchers deny knowing anything about that note.
And their lawyer says no more questions without an arrest.
So arrest them.
Stationery's not enough, Dwight.
There's a hundred members that belong to that club And 50 employees.
Whatever the story is here, I'm telling you, damn it, those people are to blame.
Excuse me.
Sergeant lightfoot, what the hell is that? Go see the medic.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I was just changing the bandages.
Sorry.
It's nothing.
Just a flesh wound.
Wife stabbed me.
Uh, listen, Dwight.
There's a little girl in a cab downstairs.
She's freaking out.
She says she will not come in unless she can talk to you.
Jess, what's going on? I finished it.
My parents were always hard on Ivy, But Since I went away, I guess it got so much worse.
When she upset them They'd lock her out back And make her sleep in a broken-down shed On the back of our property.
That's what they did the night she went missing.
Uh, the the night? She usually wrote in the mornings But not that morning.
Here it is.
Least I could do was give her a decent bed If they were gonna do this to her.
I should've called you all.
When's the last time you made this bed? Don't look like somebody slept in it.
Look, truth is, I don't think she'd been sleeping here for months.
She'd be here in the morning when they sent me for her, But she was going somewhere else at nights.
She wasn't here that morning, was she? Hatchers been lying from the start of this whole thing.
Ivy went missing that night after they sent her out here.
Where do you think she went? Bic's is a mile from here.
Why she was going there nights all the time Get away from this place.
Let's go, whitehead.
All right.
Call you back.
The marines swear that she wasn't here that night, And there are no security cameras.
Ah, she was here, whitehead.
Is that Son of a bitch.
We busted him three months ago Five hidden cameras in the men's toilet.
And lo and behold, this filthy creep's back at it again.
Camera had a bird's-eye view out the men's bathroom window, Right into bic's parking lot.
Calamitous for him, serendipitous for us.
There's Ivy, damn it.
She was there that night.
Whoa.
W-who's that? Go back.
Can you blow it up? Yes, sure.
I knew it.
It's that beauty queen miss, uh, what's it called? Miss bluff city.
And you have no morals.
You don't know me.
Oh, I know you're a liar.
This tape has you at bic's paradise.
You get there two minutes after your friend Ivy On the night she went missing.
Now, what the hell are you doing at a biker bar At 10:00 at night And not telling us about it, little princess? Because it's nothing.
Look, I drove Ivy's car down to mud island park So her father could pick it up for servicing.
For servicing at 10:00 at night? Do you think I'm stupid? I've been around little snake-eyed girls like you My whole life, and being pretty makes them mean as dirt.
Just because I'm in pageants Doesn't mean I'm vain, superficial, or snide.
You suffer from a lack of imagination, Detective.
I know about what's important in life.
Where's Ivy? And blizzards interspersed with driving rain.
" Ovid.
"had no friend to forgo my bail.
"they slapped my dried-up carcass In the county jail.
" Johnny cash.
Hey.
Oh, don't let me interrupt.
How's it going out there? all gone.
I knew it'd catch on.
I got to go home and restock.
I'm gonna bring back extra-smoked tofu wraps.
You're gonna love them, Dwight, I swear.
You're gonna start craving them like mad.
You're gonna start craving them like mad.
She fainted twice at rehearsal.
Eating fries, chili, cheeseburgers.
Ivy's pregnant.
How long have you known, Kate? Why she was craving all that junk food at bic's.
Why she was sick, wanted to quit the pageant.
Who's the guy who got her pregnant? Look, I'm sure you know by now about the shed And the horrible way her parents would treat her.
Those people are monsters.
They did this.
You should be looking at them! Who is he, Kate? 9 times out of 10, a pregnant girl goes missing, It's the guy who did it.
Why'd you say that poem? Why do you keep talking about war? You know those marines at bic's? Let's go, whitehead.
Which one of you? Huh? Who crossed the line with Ivy? Huh?! Was it you?! We got alibis on all of them? John Morris, Arvin marchman, saleed hass, Raleigh flank, T.
K.
Carter, and Paul Lawrence.
Two too many.
Who ain't working tonight? Saleed's off.
Raleigh's been out sick two days.
Right when Ivy went missing.
What's Raleigh's alibi? Said he went jogging with two of these characters In overton park.
Well, he don't have an alibi, then, 'cause these guys have been lying About the whole thing from the start! Let's go find Raleigh before it's too late.
Roger, 43.
Possible kidnap victim Ivy hatcher.
Caucasian female, 17 years old.
Suspect Raleigh flank, former marine, Believed to be armed and dangerous.
Proceed with caution.
Down on your knees, hands on your head now! Get down! Where is she?! Where's Ivy?! I-in the bedroom! B-back back down the hall.
What is going on?! It's okay, Ivy.
Don't worry.
We got Raleigh subdued.
No! No! Raleigh! Baby, it's okay! No! Hang on.
No, no, he didn't do anything! Calm down.
No, he didn't do anything! Please! No! Raleigh! No! We met at bic's, And one night, I let him walk me back to the shed.
He saw it, and he got so upset, and that was That was Well, I guess that's when we started to fall in love.
The day I found out about the baby Was the day Raleigh got called up for a third tour, And we we had to do something.
Don't worry.
Don't worry, darling.
Miss bluff city and the other guys from bic's, They helped us with our plan, But the ransom note was our idea.
I'm turning 18 tonight, so we can leave the country.
But please the second my parents find out about this, They will see to it that I never see Raleigh ever again.
And they will never let me keep my baby.
And it doesn't matter that I'll be an adult tonight.
Unless we disappear, they will never let me be free.
Hey! I just found all my food in the garbage, uneaten, Like they didn't even take a bite.
You put them all up to it, didn't you? They paid in real money, didn't they? Dwight, I didn't ask you to fix my business for me.
You just went ahead.
You always just go ahead, and you make me feel like a fool.
How does me helping you out make you feel like a fool? Okay.
All right, well, you have a good day, Dwight.
You know, we have a tribal saying "to help your wife across the raging River, "it is better to lay down on the rocks for her Than to build a dam.
" Your wife stabbed you, Jody.
Whitehead's right.
Ain't okay, the way she treats you.
You ought to do something about that.
The hatchers are back.
They're determined to put this kid away.
Listen, it ain't right throwing the book on those kids.
They can plead guilty to abuse of police resources, Get probation.
But jail time? These are just young kids.
Yeah, Dwight And we both know what those people in there were doing to that girl And what they'll do if they get their hands on her again.
Dwight, I just sent an e-mail to the d.
A.
10 minutes ago saying all this, and he agrees.
Good.
'cause I released them 20 minutes ago.
Whoa, whoa! Ivy can't leave without a guardian.
She was 18 as of midnight.
These two kids they deserve a chance to be together.
You surprise me, Hendricks.
Ladies and gentlemen, Please give it up for Dwight Hendricks.
You need to get a chain for the door.
You were trying to help.
No, I'm listen.
Really, though, I-I-I was I-I shouldn't try to fix everything for you.
I should just try to be your friend.
All right? Yeah.
All right.
Sorry I g I love you.
