route to 1618 Market Street,

Coyote's Bar and Grill,

in reference to

an investigation.

(somber music)

Contact your callers,

a white female and a black

female in front of the bar.

Callers state that they are

going to have information

regarding the homicide

of Debbie Teague.

- You better be here

looking for Debbie.

- You don't look a kind of cop

to give us working

girls a hard time.

- Fair enough.

Let me make it up to you.

You girls work on

commission, right?

- That's right.

- I'll get us some

drinks, anything you want.

I'd like a whisky.

- Thank you.

- Sit down?

What can you tell me

about Ms. Hassell?

- Debbie?

She was a good girl.

- Why you say "was?"

- You hear about all

these girls going missing,

but don't ever hear about

anybody finding them.

- Yeah, we're working on that.

- We know how dangerous

it is out there.

Even without the serial killers.

We always tell each

other where we're going.

- All right, so when the

last time you saw her?

- Last night,

around 11.

She left with some guy.

- Did you get a look at him?

- No, not really.

- And you wonder why we have

trouble catching the guy.

You know if she has

any regular hang outs,

friends she might be with?

- I said we looked

out for one another.

Didn't say nothing about

being best friends.

- So what kind of

cop do I look like?

- You don't look like a cop.

You look like trouble.

That's all right though.

I like bad boys.

(smooth blues music)

. Woo!

(sniffing)

- You look a little

drowsy, honey.

I say you and me step outside

for a breath of fresh air.

- It'll cost you 50.

(smooth blues music)

- Me and my buddy, here,

we like to shoot

at the same hole.

- Got that right.

(moaning)

- Oh, show me how

you like it, big boy.

(moaning)

Deeper!

(moaning)

(smooth blues music)

- I'll take care of

both y'all real fine.

But it'll cost your double

for double the trouble.

- It ain't gonna be no trouble.

Just double.

- F*** me, cowboy, come on!

Come on, cowboy.

- [Allison Voiceover] There's

gonna be three of us now.

(moaning)

- [Harry Voiceover]

I'm gonna be...

(Allison laughing)
