Well, I gotta put 'em in foster care.
Grandma's 85.
She can't take care of them.
I couldn't be a social worker for a million bucks.
Working with kids? Sometimes I wonder how kids survive childhood.

You are here because you want to learn law enforcement.
- You chewing gum? - Yes, sir.
I mean, ma'am.
Captain? This is an unpredictable environment, which is why a police officer will always be with you.
Pay attention to your surroundings.
Be on time.
Be respectful.
Do what you are told when you are told to do it.
Tie your shoe.
You have five minutes to dress.

Looks like Butchie's in trouble.
Hey, what happened to Mae? I thought she was all excited about being a Police Explorer.
Yeah, she was- until she found out they were doing an after-school chemistry lab for extra credit.
We're going tonight to pick out a microscope.
- I'm so excited.
- [Grace Whoops.]
- [Clay.]
Detective Dewey? - Yeah? I know about you and Aunt Grace.
I also know you're married.
That's not cool.
[Acoustic Guitar.]
[Man.]
So pretty and, oh, so bold Got a heart full of gold on a lonely road - She said, "I don't even think that God can save me" - Save me Am I gaining ground Am I losing face Have I lost and found my saving grace Thankful for the gift my angels gave me Man, I thought he was gonna kneecap me.
- You better watch it.
Clay can shoot you.
- Mano y mano.
- Bring it on, Clay man.
[Groans.]
Done! - [Pigeons Chirping.]
A minute, 13.
Good.
But not good enough, my friend.
[Laughs.]
Okay.
- Ready? - Yes.
Go! Ah, shit! Ah! Ah, man! I hate birds! - Dude, where's my watch? - [Girl.]
Calm downl Tommy, stop it! - [Muttering.]
- You need to calm down! Tommy- - Oh, what a glorious day.
- You drop that shit on Ham? Sometimes bird poop is just plain luck.
You and Doug did a nice job raising Clay.
- You know Doug? - Yep.
I know all the important people in your life.
Who's the first person I ever had sex with - who wasn't a priest? - Luke Malone.
Everybody needs a hobby.
Sweet thing you did for Clay and them kids.
Oh.
You my cheerleader now? Some days it's nice just to enjoy the fun.
You have to roll it to get a full print.
- Like this.
- Can you show me one more time? Not unless you got another finger back here.
[Both Laugh.]
- Oh, pick me! Please pick me! Please! - Please! I need an Explorer to run this file up to White Collar, please.
- [All.]
Me! - Okay, who hasn't fingerprinted yet? - Why are your pants on backwards? - Because Detective Dewey told me to put my pants on backwards, and you said to do whatever we're told.
Out the door.
Go to the right, to the left, to the right.
Go up two flights- Come on, man.
Why don't I just show you? [Butch.]
Okay, kids, Detective Olsen here is gonna take you to wash up and then show you the evidence room.
- Have fun.
- [Girl.]
Bye.
- Bye.
- Thanks.
- [Girl #2.]
Thank you.
- Bye.
[Mocking Voice.]
Oh, Detective Ada! - [Mocking Voice.]
Oh, pick me! - Me, me, me, me! That's funny.
That's funny.
Keep your eyes and ears open.
And if somebody needs something, don't wait to be asked.
- Offer your help.
- You ever shoot anyone? Not on the job.
You don't become a cop to shoot people.
You become a cop to serve people.
I've got a meeting.
See you later.
Can I help you? Not unless you're a cop.
Our mom went to Tulsa on Friday and she hasn't come back.
- When was she supposed to be back? - Saturday.
- You heard from her at all? - [Game: Fighting Noises.]
- What's your mom's name? - Emily Ward.
Her boss called because she didn't show up for work today.
- Told me to tell the police.
- Bam-baml Yesl - Where's your dad? - Probably with his girlfriend.
Your parents divorced? - Gettin' one.
- Tell your dad your mom didn't come home? Why not? - Bam-baml - School's on break? - Yes, ma'am.
- Ah.
Do me a favor.
Write down your dad's name, phone number your mom's work, best friend, neighbors- anyone you could think might know where she is.
She ever do this before, Tommy? - Huh? - Your mom ever gone this long before? - No.
- [Fighting Noises Continue.]
Bam-bam! [Imitates Blow Landing.]
Yes! Why'd she go to Tulsa? - I don't know.
- Yeah, you do.
Come on.
Why Tulsa? - My dad's gonna get mad.
- Well, he can get mad at me.
Maybe I'll get mad at him right back.
Her lucky casino.
Thunder Rose.
She go there by herself? - She drive? - She took my dad's car.
It's a green with a white racing stripe '69 Camaro SS with a 400-horsepower V-8, four-barrel carburetor and a cowl induction hood.
- Sweet.
- My dad loves that car.
Yeah? So you guys been alone for three days.
You eaten anything? Cookies and Doritos.
Cool.
Hey, Ryan.
Make a run toJohnnie's.
Get 'em whatever they want.
Thanks, man.
Butch still in there? - Yeah.
- Good.
What do you think? - Uh, I think they're scared.
- More scared than worried.
Something's not right.
Can't get a handle on Sophie.
Let's get Dad in here.
Start calling on Mom.
- Bobby, you got Thunder Rose.
- Hold the BOLO with Mom in the car? No.
I got a bad feeling.
- Where we going? - Payback.
- [Grace.]
Yesl Yesl Yesl - [Video Game: Fighting Noises.]
- Whoa.
- [Game Beeps.]
I just decapitated an entire high school? What else you do for fun? What'd you do this weekend? Same stupid thing she does every weekend- - skateboarding.
- I helped you with your homework.
[Mocking Voice.]
"I helped you with your homework.
" You skate with your boyfriend? My man's a vampire too.
I know we're supposed to get all mad, but- I kinda dig it.
What's his name? Connor.
I thought you said you didn't want any.
"I thought you said you didn't want any.
" - Stop it, Tommy.
- "Stop it, Tommy.
" - Is it okay if we go? - "Is it okay if we go?" No.
We're waiting on your dad.
- Hey, Tommy.
You're wasting good fries, man.
- I'm going home.
Hey, let go of me! Leave me alone! - Clay, look out! - Leave me alone! Leave me alone! Leave me alone! - Hey! - What- [Groans, Screams.]
- Who the hell let this guy in here? - It's okay! I'm his father! I'm Richard Ward! [Panting.]
Aunt Grace read me the riot act.
Well, you got hurt.
She couldn't get to you.
It scared her.
Next time, move out of the way.
You should've seen how fast they moved.
It was like, wham! And the guys go running for the room.
Aunt Grace already had the guy down.
I'm so gonna be a cop.
I thought you wanted to be a fireman.
Hung out with Uncle Leo a couple times.
Boring.
- Hmm.
- Unless there's a fire.
How often is there a fire? - Fortunately, not a lot.
- But there's always crime.
- Unfortunately, true.
- I'd make a better cop.
- What about being a criminalist? - That's science stuff.
- She gets to collect blood splatter.
- Yes, I do.
Ellen, honey, how long are you planning on standing in there? Until Detective Stillwater tells me I can go.
Okay then.
And since when do we handle missing persons? I don't think that's what we got.
- You got a dead body? - Got a hunch.
Okay.
Get Human Services back in here.
- Michelle's on her way.
- We may already have a hit on the car Mom was driving.
I gotcha.
- All right, give it up.
- Can't.
Don't know yet.
It's an- [Winces, Gasps.]
Unidentified hunch right now.
Well, here's my hunch.
Mom's dead.
Dad killed her.
I'm liking Sophie.
I mean, shit, my mom drove me crazy when I was 15.
But she disappears for three days? I'd be worried.
- And didn't tell anybody.
- Not till boss calls looking for Mom.
- Tells Sophie to call the cops.
- Is she that stupid? - That cold? - Yeah, mom-free zone means party time.
Yeah.
Sophie was looking good till Tommy starts ripping my arm off.
- [Both Laugh.]
- I mean, did you see the video games he's playing? - Headless zombie children? - Yeah.
- [Groans.]
- Sorry.
All right.
He got you good.
[Laughs.]
Yeah.
I mean, he flipped out when I touched him.
You know, when I was little, when my dad was drinking I flinched every time he came in the room.
You know? I got Dad.
After that bird shit on you I saw Sophie and Tommy walking toward the office.
I turned, talked to a friend.
Turned back, they're gone.
Where'd they go for an hour? Mom's a regular at Thunder Rose.
Uses a player's card when she plays.
Gets points for freebies.
- Card wasn't used this weekend.
- Neither was her cell phone.
Last call was at 5:37 Friday evening.
Her credit card was- Saturday and Sunday.
Target, Target, nursery, Pizza Hut.
- You talk to Aunt Molly? - Emily's sister said no way Mom leaves the kids for one night, let alone three days.
- [Door Opens.]
- You okay, Aunt Grace? Yeah.
You okay? Yeah.
[Laughs.]
- Aunt Molly know about Thunder Rose? - Yeah.
She baby-sits.
Uh, Emily goes every now and then on Saturdays.
Just for the day though.
She's always home before the kids go to bed.
"Every now and then" is She averages a couple grand, win or lose, every time she plays.
- [Cell Phone Rings.]
- Yeah, Butch? - [Butch.]
Found Mom's car.
- You're shitting me? Right off 23rd on Western.
Parking tickets from Saturday morning, 8:03 a.
m.
Car's in perfect condition.
Key's in the ignition.
Unlocked.
- Call me if you find her head in the trunk or anything.
- Yeah.
They live on Main and 122nd.
She'd take the Kilpatrick to the Tulsa Turnpike.
What's she doing at Western and 23rd? Dad lives on 25th.
I don't know anyone who lives on 23rd.
You know why Emily'd be over there? - You know why she'd disappear without telling anyone? - She wouldn't.
- Can I see Tommy? - 'Cause I'm thinking maybe you hit her like you hit your son.
No.
And I don't hit Tommy.
It's just- You know, he gets like that.
And-And it's the only way I know how to stop him.
By slapping him? - What causes these tantrums? - Tommy's therapist says he's acting out for attention because of the divorce.
You know, it's our fault.
- Can I please see Tommy? - What about Sophie? Sophie's just- Sophie's just out of control.
We've tried everything with her, you know? We didn't think we could have kids.
We adopted Sophie.
She's already three years old.
And I don't know.
We- l-I could never- I could never connect with her, you know? She didn't smile.
She didn't laugh.
She- And now she's just mean.
She's just mean and selfish.
Emily graduated from O.
U.
With a degree in economics and Sophie went skateboarding instead of going to her graduation ceremony.
- [Cell Phone Rings.]
- That's-That's Sophie.
Look, I really need to see my son.
[Sophie.]
They fight all the time.
When my dad moved out, I thought it would get better, but it hasn't.
[Grace.]
It will.
My parents divorced when I was eight.
My mom used to beat the crap out of me and my little sister.
See this scar? She cut me one night when she was high on meth.
- My mom doesn't do drugs.
- I don't know.
- Gambling's kinda like a drug.
- Yeah.
- Anyway, I guess my dad drinks.
- See? You know what I'm sayin'.
They got in a colossal fight on Friday.
My dad says he's gonna take my phone, but he's not gonna take my phone.
You got a picture of Connor on there? - [Laughs.]
- Can I see? [Moans.]
Wow.
Those eyes, man.
He's the only person who cares about me.
- Your mom cool with you dating him? - Yeah.
Yeah, she likes Connor.
We hate him.
It's the only thing we have in common.
- He's 19.
She's 15.
- Does he know how you and Emily feel about him? Emily called him a "lazy loser son of a bitch" right to his face told him to stay away from Sophie, so, yeah, I think he knows.
I got a feeling.
You know? Instinct.
But I could be wrong.
- What? - Your mom may have been kidnapped.
She always goes to Tulsa on Saturday, right? She never goes on Friday.
Or does she? Are you gonna tell my dad? I'm not gonna tell your dad anything.
She sometimes goes when they don't know.
- She has a boyfriend.
- Of course.
What's his name? Fred.
That's what her fight with my dad was about.
He found out.
He found out about Fred.
[Rings.]
- Can I please see my son? - [Cell Phone Rings.]
- How's your head? - I'm fine, Aunt Grace.
Gotta keep your eyes open, Clay.
- Look what happened to me.
- Got it.
You better go.
They're rounding up for the bus.
- What are you looking at? - What do you see? She's text-messaging someone.
[Grace.]
What else? - She's laughing.
- Yeah.
Is she in trouble? Don't know yet.
- Is she under arrest? - No.
Her mom's missing.
Her mom's missing? Good thing I saw her in the hall.
I asked if she needed help.
You may have to testify in court.
- Really? - Yes, Clay.
You asked the first question in this investigation.
Aunt Molly's never heard of Fred.
Dad says the same thing.
I'm 15, making up a fake name for my mom's fake boyfriend, definitely go with Fred.
- She's trying to throw us off.
- And onto Dad? - Every time I talked about Mom, she brought it back to Dad.
- He was harsh.
Called Sophie a selfish jerk.
His own daughter.
I mean, they had her since she was three.
- Tommy adopted? - No.
No, Bobby talked to his teacher.
She said he's a terrific kid.
Sophie's teacher wants her transferred.
Shit.
What's going on in this family? Dad's got an alibi except for the five hours - he was sleeping Friday night.
- Plenty of time to kill your wife.
He says he hasn't seen Emily since Tuesday.
Sophie says they had a colossal fight Friday.
Girl's twisting me up, man.
Hey, I towed the car in.
Rhetta said the blood in the trunk- definitely female.
Let's get a warrant.
Get inside Mom's house.
What's her bank account look like? Last transaction was 11:46 Friday morning.
She got a hundred bucks out of the A.
T.
M.
At Penn Square.
- Left her with just under $372,000.
- Whoa.
- Nice chunk of change.
- That fits.
Dad said Emily inherited money from her folks.
- Who inherits Emily's money? - The kids are going home with Dad.
Oh, uh, Michelle, look.
We think Mom's dead.
We got a father and son who are violent and a daughter who's worried about lip gloss and her boyfriend.
Yeah, it's a mess.
I know.
But there's nothing on record against this family.
- And you don't want those kids in the system.
- You pull Sophie's records? Yeah.
Not much there.
One family fostered her for two years.
Loved her.
Said Sophie was a sweet baby.
Dad says she's a nightmare.
What happened in between? My guess? Tommy.
A lot of couples adopt because they can't conceive.
Then that baby becomes the golden child.
The adopted kid gets pushed aside.
I'll check on them tomorrow.
- You ever gonna call me? - Uh, sure.
You better.
I need a Butch fix.
- Want to use my phone? - [Ham Laughs.]
We need to talk.
Now.
Warrant.
We're on it.
Got home.
Clay's got his pants on backwards and a Band-Aid on his head.
- Who you gonna call? Aunt Grace.
- I know.
I'm sorry.
- Look, we- - What? I don't want to hear it, you know? Doug, come on, man.
It's a scratch.
The pants were a joke.
I don't give a damn about that.
- I told Clay a week ago he could not be an Explorer.
- Why? - Because I said so.
- But you signed the consent form.
I didn't sign shit.
I never saw it.
Now he's forging my signature.
That's it.
He's out of the program.
- Why is Doug being such a dick? - I can't believe Clay forged his signature.
- I can't believe Doug's being such a dick.
- I would be mad too.
- Explorers is a great program.
- Grace, I know you love Clay and you wanna help, but you really need to side with Doug on this.
- But- - The only "but" is "butt out.
" - This is important to Clay.
- Obviously there's more going on than Doug is telling you.
Clay was never in real danger.
He was surrounded by six cops.
I think it's bullshit.
- Still, Doug is doing what he thinks is best.
- So what? He's wrong.
- Doug is his father, and you are his aunt! - Exactly! I gotta stick up for Clay.
- Wow.
- I'm sorry, ma'am.
Name's Grace.
What's your name, bedroom eyes? Connor.
- Got a smoke, Connor? - Yeah.
[Chuckles.]
Thanks.
[Spits.]
- How you learn to skate? - Just, uh, practiced a lot.
Can I watch you? - Watch me? - Yeah.
Can I watch you skate? [Chuckles.]
Like I said, wow.
[Sighs.]
- Got a girlfriend, Connor? - No.
Come on.
What's her name? - Grace.
- [Both Laughing.]
You, uh-You like to get high? Nah.
But I like my men high.
You got a phone I can borrow? Okay if I use this? You sure? Connor? - [Inhales.]
Sexy.
- [Spits.]
[Dialing.]
- [Line Rings.]
- [Second Phone Rings.]
- I want to report someone using drugs.
- [Ham.]
I appreciate it.
Oh- You're kidding me.
Your girlfriend's name is Sophie.
Maybe you better lay off the weed.
- What's this? - It's your Miranda rights.
- You're under arrest.
- [Handcuffs Clicking.]
She was coming on to me.
This is entrapment, man.
[Ham.]
You were the one with the dope, all right? - What'd you do this weekend? - Skate.
- Anything else? - No.
- [Ham.]
Did you see Sophie Ward? - No.
- Did you see Emily Ward? - No.
So if Sophie told us that you killed her mom, she's lying? - She didn't tell you that.
- Are you sure? Sophie loves me.
I love her.
Screw you.
You know what, dude? My partner thinks you're a player.
- Thinks that you killed Emily for her money.
- Your partner's psycho.
I think you love Sophie.
I think you would do anything for her.
All right? I get it, man.
I get it.
I know.
Mom's a bitch.
She's always in your business, so you decide to get rid of her.
- I get it.
- [Groans.]
- Right? - Now you're psycho.
Tell him Mom's dead, and he doesn't even react? I'll book him for the weed.
Give him a night on a concrete pillow.
- Go at him again in the morning.
- Got this at Sophie's house.
May have found something in the backyard.
They bought this with Mom's credit card.
- Yeah.
Weird place to plant a rosebush.
- Unless they want to kill it.
- Rosebush needs sunlight.
- Seventy-one text messages from Sophie today.
"Cops think Mom's kidnapped.
" "Cop's cool.
" "Love you, baby.
" "Miss you, baby.
" Blah, blah.
- Nothing in the last two hours.
- Shit.
Dad took her phone.
- You got Connor's outgoing messages? - Yeah.
More of the same.
"Can't wait to kiss you, baby.
" "Love you, baby.
" Nothing incriminating.
- Yet.
- Search warrant only covers what's inside the phone.
Good thing Connor gave me his phone.
Told me I could use it.
- [Chuckles.]
- [Cell Phone Rings, Buzzes.]
- [Groans.]
- Michelle? - My luck.
She's the caseworker on this.
- [Scoffs.]
Why? What happened? Went out one time.
Nice girl.
Never called her back.
What do you do to these women? - [Rings.]
- [Imitates Panting.]
[Gasps, Sighs.]
You are such a goofball.
- What you doing? - Working.
Looks to me like you're impersonating a teenage boy.
Either that, or you're in some kind of trance.
He's 19.
She's 15.
Grady Owen.
Now you know about Grady.
You were 16.
He was 20.
I was a sophomore.
He was a senior- for a few years.
- Totally different.
- You trying to help them kids or arrest them? Some kids, you can't help.
What about a kid that lies to his father? You help that kid? Depends.
You know, you and me got something in common.
Neither one of us ever been a parent.
You ever want to have a child? - How about you? - Of all the things you guys get to do- eat, dance, laugh- only thing I'm really jealous of is creating life.
First off, sex is way more fun than dancing.
Second, this about Clay? [Laughs.]
Sons have been defying their fathers since Cain was born.
Well, think if David had listened toJesse and not followed Goliath.
I'm guessing Jesse's David's dad? Well, a bit overprotective at times - but a decent fella.
- You're saying Clay should be an Explorer.
I'm saying I love the way you love, Grace.
It's a fierce, white-hot, mighty love.
And you and Doug gonna fight this out.
It don't matter who wins.
Clay already has.
- [Whooshing.]
- [Sighs.]
A simple "yes" would've sufficed.
Uh- Hey.
Talk to Butch? Yeah.
He wants me to luminol the backyard.
- Is that where you think she was killed? - Maybe.
Anything interesting? Hmm.
Hmm.
Cigarette butts in the ashtray- the filters were torn off.
- Can you get D.
N.
A? - Maybe- in about a month.
- He doesn't need to know that.
- [Faint Squeaking.]
[Squeaking Continues.]
And this under the front seat.
- Talk to Doug? - Not yet.
Talked to Earl.
He thinks Clay should be an Explorer.
- He told you that? - Yep.
- [Cell Phone Buzzes.]
- Ooh, yeah.
Baby got her phone back.
What are you doing? [Giggling.]
[Beeps.]
Can I sit inside? Whoopsie! Mom's my size.
Get all the way inside.
Put your foot on the gas.
- Get out.
Get out.
- Where's Emily Ward's body? - What? - We got her blood in the trunk, and you in this car.
- Cigarette butts, D.
N.
A.
You're going down for murder.
- I didn't murder her.
Look at this picture.
Ham and Grace are pressing Dad.
We're waiting on a warrant to search his house.
Problem with his watch in the car is he still works on it.
- Just put new tires on last week.
- What about the boyfriend, Fred? We found one Fred.
Eighty-seven, on his deathbed with kidney failure.
Lives a block over from Emily.
If they're dating, he doesn't know it.
- Also found the same cigarette- - Here you go, Detective Ada.
I think I'm good on coffee for today.
Thank you, Ellen.
- [Laughs.]
- [Michelle.]
I checked on the Wards.
Sophie is furious with her dad for taking away her cell phone.
But other than that, she's fine.
Tommy's missing his mom.
Hi, Butch.
- Hey.
- You never called.
- Well, we're working this case, Michelle.
- I had time to call you.
Look what I found.
The ticket stub from that movie we went to see.
There Will Be Blood.
Remember? - Remember? - Mm-hmm.
Great movie.
You held my hand through all the scary parts, and now you won't even call me.
Could I speak with you, Captain? You find a bunny boiling on your stove, get out of town.
She have something on you? No.
I mean- No.
No.
Aunt Grace? - Hey.
- Hey.
You look lost.
No, I'm waiting for my Aunt Grace.
She likes to come out here for a smoke.
Yes, she does.
- Says it's a good place to think.
- You know my Aunt Grace? Well, I've had the pleasure of bumping heads with her.
More than a few times.
Shouldn't you be filing or fingerprinting or something? - I'm kinda not supposed to be here.
- Kinda not, huh? What happened? My dad told me three weeks ago I could be an Explorer.
And then last week he changed his mind.
- You love your dad? - Yes, sir.
- Respect him? - Yes, sir.
- And you're sure you want to be an Explorer? - More than anything.
Then prove to him you're ready.
Take on some extra responsibility.
You mean, like taking out the trash? Well, that's a start.
This isn't gonna be easy, is it? Well, most things worthwhile usually aren't.
Thank you, sir.
Don't tell my Aunt Grace I was here, okay? My lips are sealed.
Hey, what'd Dad say about the watch? He says he lost it last time Tommy and Sophie spent the night.
- Where are Sophie and Tommy? - With Aunt Molly.
I know you like to work through lunch.
Here.
[Whispers.]
I made this for you.
- I'm good, Michelle.
Thank you.
- Mmm.
I won't keep you.
Mwah.
Call me, sweetie.
Ooh.
Egg salad.
And a brownie.
- Mmm.
- Mmm.
You guys dating again? Then can I have the sandwich? - [Butch Chuckles.]
- Mmm.
Good.
[Muffled.]
Hi, Sophie.
[Babbling, Mocking.]
Are you talking to my boyfriend? [Whispering.]
We are talking to everyone who knows your mom.
Everyone, Sophie.
I promised you I'd find her, and I'm gonna keep that promise.
This is my mom's bracelet.
It was in my dad's desk.
She always wears it.
Is that blood? Looks like blood.
I think she's dead.
- Are you gonna arrest my dad? - Can't.
We don't have a body.
All we got is circumstantial evidence.
[Sighs.]
Your mom may be alive, Sophie.
There's still hope.
As long as we don't have a body, she may still be alive.
- What about her bloody bracelet? - I know.
Well, if she is dead, she's out there somewhere in a lonely lake.
Or the woods.
[Exhales.]
If we find her before the animals do, you can bury her.
Say good-bye.
- That'd be nice.
- Where do you think your dad buried her? - Ask him.
- [Sighs.]
He doesn't care if she ends up some coyote's supper.
Can you think of a favorite spot they had? Place you guys used to go on picnics, hunting, fishing? Think.
Sophie! It may be- Will you show me? It's okay.
You can draw a map.
You and me.
We'll stay right here.
Okay.
- [Barks.]
- Dad used to take us hiking at Bluff Creek when we were little.
There was this trail that my mom loved- Glory Lane.
Deep in the woods.
There was this big tree that we always ate lunch at.
- [Grace.]
Eagle Rock? - [Sophie.]
Yeah.
- [Barking.]
- There was wildflowers.
[Grace.]
How far off the trail would you go? [Grace.]
Where do you think he killed her? [Sophie.]
Probably at Bluff Creek.
[Grace.]
A lot of people around there.
My guess-She was killed somewhere else.
[Camera Shutter Clicks.]
Shit.
Hey.
Sophie! - [Sobbing.]
- [Sighs.]
What's this? That's your wife, sir.
Tommy.
- That's your mother.
- [Richard.]
Oh, my God.
[Voice Cracks, Sobbing.]
What did you do? You killed her.
You finally killed Emily, huh? No! No! No.
I did.
They were fighting in the backyard, and Mom grabbed Sophie and wouldn't let go.
I just wanted her to let go, but she wouldn't, so - I hit her with my baseball bat! - Tommy- - Bam-bam! - [Sophie Sobbing.]
[Screams.]
- [Muffled Screaming.]
- He didn't know what he was doing.
- You did.
- I was scared! - She was your mother.
- [Screaming Continues.]
- [Sobbing.]
- [Sophie Sobbing.]
[Tommy Continues Screaming.]
That shit starts somewhere.
- He probably forged his mother's signature before he killed her.
- You've been warned, man.
If Clay comes around with a baseball bat, watch your head.
- Want another beer? - Trying to get me drunk? Just trying to understand.
You told Clay he could be a Police Explorer.
And then you change your mind.
That's bullshit.
- Ah, hell, Grace.
Parents do that all the time.
- You gotta tell me why.
- He was hurt the first day he was there.
Enough said.
- It was an accident.
You think I'd ever let anything happen to Clay? No, if you could stop it.
Sometimes you can't.
Your boss was killed in that office last year.
You were there.
And we changed it.
We've got metal detectors - and two cops downstairs frisking people.
- So what? Look, Doug.
You've been letting Clay hunt since he was six.
Next year he's gonna play football.
Why is one dangerous thing okay for him, and another one's not? Explain that to me.
- It's not open for discussion.
- Clay is not a reckless child.
I don't understand.
- You don't need to! - Yes, I do! - Leave it alone.
I said, leave it alone! - No! - I'd be with him all the time! - Damn it, Grace, look at the life you have.
Shit that you see.
I don't want that for Clay.
He's not seeing that shit now.
We're not taking him to crime scenes.
He's not going on calls in the back of a car.
He's at the academy taking classes, man! I don't want him to be like you! Now you understand? Copy that.
I don't know, man.
Michelle was just freaking out.
- Says you never called her.
- Why don't you just call her back? - She's totally tripping.
- Is that why she went in there crying? Either talk to her and get it over with or make a run for it.
Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Help! Help! Helpl Helpl Helpl Helpl - Hey, Butch.
- [Laughter.]
"Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Help! Help! Help! - Helpl Helpl" - We got you, Longhorn! - Oh, we did! - Unbelievable.
All of you.
Unbelievable.
- [Groaning.]
- [Laughter.]
She's the one who said you liked egg salad.
- "Oh, my God! Oh, my God!" - [Trilling.]
[Laughing, Whooping.]
Hey, Aunt Grace.
Hey, Gus! I talked to your dad.
Couldn't get him to change his mind.
He told me.
He said he'd think about it- which means no.
He's your father.
You and I we don't have to understand all his decisions but we gotta respect him.
Watch this.
[Laughs.]
Yeah.
[Laughs.]
Dad said to tell you he loves you.
He's a jerk and he's gonna call you when he gets back in town.
You okay? Tough week.
- Something happen with Ham? - No.
Well, you need anything, I'm here.
Good to know.
Oh! Call the fire department! [Grace Screaming, Whooping.]
[Both Screaming, Whooping.]
- Yes! - [Shouting.]
[Both Screaming, Laughing.]
[Gus Barking.]
[Whooping.]
