Not a chance captain!

Why not?

Why cant we give it try?

It wont work Dan!

This kind of a monkey of forge human contact act like the plague.

He treats deep and deeper to his own verge of security.

Security?!

How does that fit in to this kind of case?

Thats what starts them out in the first place.

The need for emotional security.

At least thats the explanation the psychiatrist to agree on.

I dont care explanations.

Give me a squad in a roast in a joint of Main Street.

You wont find them there!

We had to move.

We move to this new house and there was some old trunk up in the attic.

Cross the railroad viaduct. Wait a minute tell it to the captain.

Captain Bates!

Radio sir!

Okay Vince Ill talk to Mack. Mack!

Listen to me!

Ogalty seems to thing that you got this guy tagged.

So lay low and give us a few minutes to get out there.

Maybe split up and have one of you take the gate.

We dont want to panic this into hurting Taggarts kid , but we dont want him to get away. He wont get away captain.

Okay!

Im counting on you and Grant!

Dont let me down!

Captain if he does anything to that girl, Ill Tear him kid!

Ill help you!

Ill take the gate.

Okay!

I thought the brickyard is east of town.

Were detouring for a minute in 20 seconds to pick up a cop named Taggart.

He couldnt just disappear without a trace.

Where could he taken her?

I dont know!

The guys a.nut! A Looney like that could do anything.

Dan!

Will we ever see Liz alive again?

If we dont, youll know whos fault it will be.

Whos fault!

You cant mean Helens fault.

Why Helens fault!

Why not yours?

What do you mean by that?

Youve gone crazy too?

Maybe!

Maybe I went crazy 15 years ago.

Now dont you bring that up now!

Why not?

Dont tell me it hurts.

Dont tell me you learned anything these last 15 years.

The thing on my mind tonight is Liz.

Nothing else!

Nothing?

Not even a sneaking suspicion you may be the reason on whats happened to Liz.

Me?

Please Madge!

Please dont say anymore!

Oh why not!

Hasnt he done enough damage?

Isnt that time he what hes told.

Told?

Told what?

What are you talking about?

Why do you think Liz and that boy did up on that hill?

Because Liz was afraid to bring him home.

Because she was afraid on what you might do to him.

What!

What would I do to him?

Browbeat him!

Question him!

The third degree is only you can pour it all and the poor kid would tell and run.

Alright!

Maybe I am a little extra carful on who goes out with my kid.

But I got a good reason to be.

Im a policeman!

I know what goes on I see it every day in my life.

For 20 years,

I dealt with nothing but thieves with vultures with dirt!

You think you want my kid to be part of that?

Isnt that exactly what she is part of tonight?

And you blame me for that?

Helen!

You dont believe that do you?

You dont think anything like that.

How many times do I have asked you to stop being a cop at home and just be a father, a good father?

I am a good father.

Id kill anybody trying to hurt me kid!

Thats it Dan!

Liz was always a policemans daughter.

Not just another child.

All the kids on the block stared clear that youre such a good father.
