After the Factory

---

I don't think so.

Exactly.

Okay, I love you.

Well, hello handsome.

And since I just moved

here a couple of years ago,

I don't know too many folks,

It sure is nice to...

Have someone to share a Thanksgiving meal with.

I just love to cook.

Well whatever pulls your hair back

honey, you're paying.

So, what are you a doctor?

Because there's some fancy ass

medical books you got there.

No, I ...

I just work at Buffalo Regional.

Well ...

Why don't we play doctors and nurses when I

get back from the little girl's room?

Okay. Yeah.

It's down the hall on the end.

Are you ready for me, baby?

Don't be shy now.

This is so disappointing.

When were you going tell me, you have ...

I take you off the streets

and offer you the chance to create something,

rather than destroy it!

- And this is how you pay me in return?

- Please, I'll do anything you want!

No, no!

A committed relationship is

between a man and a woman.

How did you think this was ever

going to work out?

What are you talking about?

Come on ...

It's okay. I'm doing you a favor.

Do everyone a favor.

We're returning to the crime in a case that has puzzled

Buffalo law enforcement for the past 3 years.

Authorities this afternoon announced the closing down

of a once high profile investigation.

Which begun with the disappearance of

Donnelly was the first of seven sex workers

to go missing from downtown Buffalo

over a three year period.

With all the alleged abductions taking place during

the winter months of November through March.

A nurse at Buffalo Regional hospital, Darrell Kennedy

was initially named by authorities

as a person of interest,

but was eventually cleared of all involvement.

While officials claim budget restraints

are forcing the allocation

of resources to other cases,

sources close to the investigation

blame the failure of detectives

to locate a body

It's bullshit cut and run politics Kelsey.

They're thinking shut this guy down

with a press conference.

Take a look out there.

Seven out of seven were taken in the snow.

Seven out of Seven.

- Are you listening to me, or what?

- I'm not deaf, Mike.

You think these guys would be

shutting it down if it was their daughter?

I don't f***ing think so.

- What, you're not going to fight this?

- Hey!

I was the dumbass who fought

to be on this case, remember?

What a great move that turned out to be.

Come on, it's Thanksgiving

for Christ's sake!

Be thankful.

Let it go for one night.

Hang with family, eat too much,

pass out on the couch, easy stuff.

What are you, my nanny?

My life coach?

There's alot you don't

know about me, detective.

Don't even think about it.

Abby would never forgive you

if you didn't come in.

We've got a ton of paperwork

to get done.

The sooner we get it done,

the sooner we can move on from this.

Will you listen to yourself?

You're obsessed.

You've got to let it go.

Come in for a drink.

Come on.

One drink going to kill you?

There really is no point in even having

this discussion

because dinner is about

to be on the table.

So if you could just come and help me,

that would be great.

Mom, please.

Tad's whole family invited me over.

You're going to have to tell Tad's whole family

that you're spending Thanksgiving

with your own family.

Hey, surprise, surprise!

Hey!

This is a surprise.

Mike didn't tell me you were able to make it.

Who cares?

Finally somebody cool.

I'm not staying, I just wanted to come in

and say happy Thanksgiving.

Come on, relax.

There's plenty to go around, right Shelley?

Yes, you could have my plate,

because I'm having dinner at Tad's family.

You know what?

Enough, young lady, OK?

You're staying in, that's it. Final.

Even your dad managed to make the effort.

This is unbelievable.

Do you see what i have to deal with?

This is so f***ed.

Now you're just showing off.

Could you go tell your brother to come?

- Could you?

- Yeah.

Make mine a large.

- Hey, sorry.

- No, don't worry about it.

You should see me at that age.

God, Dad.

I'm not hungry.

She's been cooking all day Abby,

don't be stupid.

It's like being under house arrest to live here.

Yeah, must be rough.

You haven't even been here

to see what a Nazi she's become.

Abby.

It's Thanksgiving.

Want to help me out here?

Come to dinner.

Look, why don't we go to White Face this weekend

make the most of the early snow?

You like the cabin, don't you?

It's fun. Remember last year?

Missed all that school because the...

the big dump?

Dad, no.

Look, I'll be out in a minute, okay?

Get your head together, please.

Don't be rude.

Come on.

You'd think with a scholarship to Cornell

wouldn't be a no-brainer, but no.

Now she's talking about going to

Buffalo State to be closer to Tad.

I don't know. First love.

I guess you got to let them get it

out of their system, right?

Wow, look at you guys.

When was this?

Have I seen this?

Yeah, it was a while ago ...

Look who we got here. Say hi to Kelsey.

He can't say "strawberry".

Wait a minute, you're not Jed!

You're too tall to be Jed.

I'm gonna put bricks on your head

to make you short again.

Last chance, Kelsie.

Want to stay for a drink ...

Michael, could you let the poor

girl go home already?

She's probably sick and tired of you.

Don't worry about it, Kelsie.

Here, I'll take that.

- Tell Abby I said goodbye.

- Yeah.

Jed, did you say goodbye?

- Bye!

- Have you said goodbye to Kelsie?

- Did you look her in the eye buddy?

- A Happy Thanksgiving!

Good job.

- Jed, you washed your hands?

- Yes.

This looks great.

You sure you can handle a family dinner

without your backup?

Come on, It's Thanksgiving.

She didn't have anybody in Buffalo.

She's supposed to be our friend, you know?

If she were a real friend you wouldn't force her

to work the same ridiculous hours as you.

That way she might actually have someone

to spend Thanksgiving with.

I mean, it's not sad enough she's a 30 year old woman

who can't have kids ...

You want to deprive her social life too?

I didn't forced her to do anything.

Kelsie is a big girl, she can look after herself.

Let me do that.

Don't tell your mom, just take a sip.

- Let me get that, please?

- Okay.

This looks great.

Look at this amazing job your mom did.

Allright, doesn't this look great?

Here, boy.

Jesus, Dad.

Is this cold enough in here for you?

It helps to keep me awake.

What's up kid?

Mom, would like you to come inside

so you can see Jed's costume

for his stupid thing.

Tell her I'll be in, In a minute.

He's playing a donkey and i was like,

Jed really need a costume for that?

Come on now ...

- Can I ask you something?

- Sure.

Why do you spend so much time here?

What is it with these girls?

Well, they got names.

This is Lisa Donnelly.

She grew up in Riverside.

She started working the streets when

she was younger than you.

She's been missing for two years.

She was gone three months

before anybody reported her gone.

And when they did, it wasn't her
