Lt's not too late.

117

00:
13:17,410 -- 00:13:19,844

No, I'm... no,

don't worry about me.

118

00:
13:19,879 -- 00:13:22,177

Okay, are you sure?

I mean, there's a lot of good places

119

00:
13:22,215 -- 00:13:24,183

even just right on this street.

120

00:
13:24,217 -- 00:13:27,084

No, it's... no.

I was... I was kind of joking.

121

00:
13:27,120 -- 00:13:29,315

Um, garon,

have these removed, please.

122

00:
13:32,258 -- 00:13:34,419

Or just put blankets over them.

That's...

123

00:
13:34,460 -- 00:13:37,395

Can we put some nice French posters

around the wall,

124

00:
13:37,430 -- 00:13:40,627

something like that?

125

00:
13:40,666 -- 00:13:43,726

Yeah, I just used

to order a beer, you know?

126

00:
13:43,769 -- 00:13:45,703

I would just say,

"Oh, I'm not gonna drink it.

127

00:
13:45,738 -- 00:13:48,707

I'll just order it

and I'll feel like an adult.

128

00:
13:48,741 -- 00:13:51,266

"It can just sit there."

129

00:
13:51,310 -- 00:13:52,607

Such a bad idea.

130

00:
13:52,645 -- 00:13:55,045

It's a terrible idea.

Lt never works.

131

00:
13:55,081 -- 00:13:58,608

I'm sure that...

132

00:
13:58,651 -- 00:14:01,347

that it took about five minutes

before you downed it.

133

00:
14:03,823 -- 00:14:05,882

Yeah, that sounds right.

134

00:
14:08,361 -- 00:14:12,957

- Do you know what you want?

- I have no idea.

135

00:
14:12,999 -- 00:14:15,832

Mm. Well,

136

00:
14:15,868 -- 00:14:18,200

it's all pretty good.

137

00:
14:50,002 -- 00:14:52,300

- Hey, how's it going?

- Good, man. How are you?

138

00:
14:52,338 -- 00:14:54,329

Good.

139

00:
14:54,373 -- 00:14:56,341

That'll be $30 even.

140

00:
14:56,375 -- 00:14:58,104

All right.

141

00:
14:58,144 -- 00:15:00,408

What's the deal

with the showers?

142

00:
15:00,446 -- 00:15:02,971

It's five bucks for 30 minutes.

143

00:
15:03,015 -- 00:15:05,176

I'll take an hour.

144

00:
15:05,218 -- 00:15:07,083

All right.

Can I get you a bag for these?

145

00:
15:07,119 -- 00:15:08,916

No no, I'm fine.

146

00:
15:08,955 -- 00:15:12,015

Let's get you in stall 7,

right upstairs.

147

00:
15:12,058 -- 00:15:14,322

All right.

148

00:
15:14,360 -- 00:15:16,692

Do you need, like,

soap or shampoo?

149

00:
15:16,729 -- 00:15:18,720

I've got it in the bag.

Thanks.

150

00:
15:18,764 -- 00:15:20,254

It's through here? Up?

151

00:
15:20,299 -- 00:15:22,324

- Yeah, it's just up the stairs.

- Thanks.

152

00:
17:28,361 -- 00:17:31,091

Okay, I'm just gonna put this

around your neck, all right?

153

00:
17:31,130 -- 00:17:33,462

Lift your head for me.

154

00:
17:41,807 -- 00:17:45,243

So how was yesterday?

155

00:
17:45,277 -- 00:17:47,871

You feel all right?

156

00:
17:50,516 -- 00:17:53,076

You mean my date?

Ls that what you're asking me?

157

00:
17:53,119 -- 00:17:55,553

Yes, I mean your date.

158

00:
17:57,089 -- 00:18:00,217

He's great.

159

00:
18:00,259 -- 00:18:04,252

I mean, it was really...

it was really...

160

00:
18:04,296 -- 00:18:06,560

really surface level, so...

161

00:
18:08,901 -- 00:18:11,734

Well, this might be

162

00:
18:11,771 -- 00:18:15,366

a good distraction right now,

you know?

163

00:
18:16,842 -- 00:18:19,834

You know, he's really nice.

164

00:
18:19,879 -- 00:18:23,872

I just don't feel like

I'm ready for...

165

00:
18:26,986 -- 00:18:30,444

something like that.

166

00:
18:30,489 -- 00:18:34,323

Well, give it time.

Don't, you know...

167

00:
18:35,828 -- 00:18:38,353

don't write it off yet.

168

00:
18:42,468 -- 00:18:44,834

Are you scared?

169

00:
18:49,608 -- 00:18:52,042

A little, yeah.

170

00:
18:58,818 -- 00:19:01,787

I'm probably just being

paranoid though.

171

00:
19:06,592 -- 00:19:09,459

I don't know.

I think that's pretty natural.

172

00:
19:16,402 -- 00:19:18,336

Home sales here in the Midwest...

173

00:
19:18,370 -- 00:19:20,895

numbers show a huge drop

in overall sales from December.

174

00:
19:20,940 -- 00:19:23,204

Sales fell 37% in January,

175

00:
19:23,242 -- 00:19:26,905

but they were still up 4% in 2009

as compared to 2008.

176

00:
19:26,946 -- 00:19:28,971

Recapping our top story

this evening,

177

00:
19:29,014 -- 00:19:31,107

the manhunt continues tonight

for Garrick Turrell,

178

00:
19:31,150 -- 00:19:33,482

who remains at large

after escaping from police custody.

179

00:
19:33,519 -- 00:19:35,919

The search, which is now

in its fifth day,

180

00:
19:35,955 -- 00:19:39,356

has law enforcement agencies across

the country coordinating their efforts.

181

00:
19:39,391 -- 00:19:42,588

Prison warden Clarkton Smith,

whose facility housed Turrell,

182

00:
19:42,628 -- 00:19:44,619

issued a statement to the press

this afternoon

183

00:
19:44,663 -- 00:19:47,757

addressing the difficulty in locating

the notorious serial killer

184

00:
19:47,800 -- 00:19:50,826

who may have been taken in

and housed by his purported fans.

185

00:
19:50,870 -- 00:19:52,701

Yes, that is correct.

186

00:
19:52,738 -- 00:19:55,707

Garrick Turrell during his time

in custody here did receive more letters

187

00:
19:55,741 -- 00:19:58,437

than any previous resident

we've had incarcerated,

188

00:
19:58,477 -- 00:20:00,138

and by a considerable number.

189

00:
20:00,179 -- 00:20:03,205

And yes, that apparently includes

several marriage proposals.

190

00:
22:54,219 -- 00:22:57,120

This is me right here.

191

00:
23:00,325 -- 00:23:03,351

- It's a cool place.

- Thank you.

192

00:
23:03,395 -- 00:23:06,364

Got the whole thing to yourself

or do you have roommates?

193

00:
23:06,398 -- 00:23:08,764

It's just me.

194

00:
23:08,801 -- 00:23:11,167

That's pretty nice.

195

00:
23:13,505 -- 00:23:15,496

- I had a really good time.

- Me too.

196

00:
23:15,541 -- 00:23:17,771

Yeah, it was fun.

197

00:
24:01,553 -- 00:24:04,181

Oh, we're fogging up

the windows.

198

00:
24:07,326 -- 00:24:08,793

See you soon?

199

00:
24:08,827 -- 00:24:10,920

Yeah. Yeah, let's...

200

00:
24:10,963 -- 00:24:13,431

Maybe this weekend? I don't...

201

00:
24:13,465 -- 00:24:16,559

- Yeah. Yeah, I think so.

- All right, sure.

202

00:
24:16,602 -- 00:24:18,536

Let me call you tomorrow

just to make sure.

203

00:
24:18,570 -- 00:24:21,004

- No pressure. All right, good.

- Okay. Okay.

204

00:
24:21,039 -- 00:24:23,405

- I'll see you sometime.

- Yeah, talk to you tomorrow.

205

00:
24:23,442 -- 00:24:26,002

- Okay.

- Bye.

206

00:
24:45,464 -- 00:24:48,194

Exactly as I dreamed it.

207

00:
24:48,233 -- 00:24:50,827

Or did I?

208

00:
24:50,869 -- 00:24:52,894

Maybe this is the dream.

209

00:
24:55,541 -- 00:24:57,702

It's pretty weird.

210

00:
24:57,743 -- 00:24:59,734

Have you had enough?

211

00:
24:59,778 -- 00:25:01,769

If you're tired, we can go back.

212

00:
25:01,814 -- 00:25:03,805

No.

213

00:
25:03,849 -- 00:25:06,511

We go on this way.

214

00:
25:07,953 -- 00:25:10,012

No.

215

00:
25:10,055 -- 00:25:12,489

I'm mad at you.
