mother or father or ...

... or brother, or sister.

It was her landlord looking for back rent.

So much for the city of good neighbors, huh?

All these girls ... It's all the same.

I never found a single body.

Now they're just missing girl,

that nobody missed.

That would be a horrible way to live, right?

Come here.

Leave me alone, I'll be in, In 10 minutes.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Okay, so here's what I don't understand.

If Divine was working at a

Girls Girls, Girls last night,

What was she doing curb crawling?

Come on man, she's not stupid.

She hasn't worked the streets since

they all started to go missing.

She was on her break,

getting money at the ATM for the drugs.

For the drugs, what kind of drugs?

HRT.

- What's HRT?

- Hormone Replacement Therapy.

She's a tranny?

She's a pre-op transsexual, allright?

She was going to take the next couple

of days off to rest up, you know?

F***! There were three days

away from surgery.

We are going to do our very best to find her

and we're going to call you as soon as we hear anything.

Okay?

We should be working on this thing

nonstop since I moved up here.

When people said you were reaching even

calling it a case I had your back, right?

But if we'd to go in from the D.A.

tomorrow, what do we really have?

Your intuition?

No bodies, no homicide, Mike.

God, I want this as bad as you do but there's dogged

and then there's just plain pig-headed

- Come on, she's a missing hooker.

- Who's been missing less than 12 hours.

She's probably in a bar somewhere about

to give some John the surprise of his life.

She was about to get that chopped,

you heard the boyfriend, right?

She was supposed to be at home,

In bed, resting.

What the f***?

Are you with me on this or what?

Of course I'm with you.

I'm just saying what about the other

seven hookers who were all girls?

Biological girls.

Why would he change his M.O now?

You saw her pictures, she had me fooled.

Look, assume for a minute that I'm right.

Which you really should.

This f*** comes out of his cave

for the first time in ten months.

And he gets a chick with a dick.

You really think he's going back

into hibernation just yet?

This is it.

Girls, Girls, Girls.

I guess Divine had them all fooled too.

Hey Steve, It's Mike.

Need you to do me a favor.

Hey, this came through just now.

So there's Divine at the ATM.

Pick up perp might drive

a late 90's dark sedan?

Bring in Crystal, will you?

I want to find out what she saw last night.

Jesus.

D, you don't look so good.

No sh*t.

It started, checking inventories

every week.

Whole joint is locked up like a

motherfucking Fort Knox.

Amazing what we can do

when we have to.

Carl man you are not listening.

The hospital called security

on the supply room.

I can't get sh*t now without there being

a link straight back to me.

Hey Darryl, do you want anything

special for Christmas?

You know what I want.

What the f*** is that?

You told me you're going

to get rid of that sh*t.

I guess I forgot.

I'll just skip to the money shot,

you know It's ...

I was amazed at the quality.

I mean ...

This is just a regular video phone but ...

Oh yeah, you can ... make out all the details.

It's not every day you get to

tap a hooker for free, right?

Why the f*** are you doing this?

I'm just trying to protect the partnership.

Come on Carl, man ...

We're not really partners, right?

I've never asked what you going to do

with all the sh*t I gave you.

That's your own personal sh*t

and I respect that.

Man look, you got me over

a barrel here, allright?

And you know that I ain't ever,

never going to talk about ...

... our little business here.

- But you got to understand, man ...

- I understand, man.

I understand that you raped a patient.

You got her pregnant and you asked me

to take care of it, which I did.

They give you the big needle

for that up here.

So, what I'm asking you ...

compared to what you asked of me?

Just think about it.

You stop own when I stop asking.

There are a couple more things that

I forgot to mention.

I'm going to need you ...

To pick those up too.

I'll come to you, just like the last time.

And D ...

Stop taking those pills, man.

You're going to give yourself

a heart attack.

F*** you, buddy!

I heard that.

Hi, honey.

- Hey, Crystal.

- Hey.

How's it going?

Got down to 12 degrees last night.

How do you think It's going?

- You have a nice Thanksgiving?

- Yeah, it was great.

So much for showing this f***ing

thing down, huh?

Yeah, can I get your list of plates

from last nght?

Yeah.

Every sorry son of a b*tch to pass

from 6 untill 2 in the morning.

We're looking for a dark sedan.

We think our guy might be

back on the scene.

Spread the word out to the girls.

- They are already talking about it.

- Yeah?

It's f***ed up.

Divine was a nice kid.

I'm gonna run these.

Okay, so ...

The first lucky guy of the night.

You want me to take this round?

Sure. I'll get the next.

Sweetie, would you go get your sister?

Tell her to come set the table.

Please tell me you're on your way home.

Yeah, I'm sorry.

I just caught up in here.

- Mom said you got to set the table.

- I'm on the phone!

Okay so, just come over when

you're done, Okay?

Why are you such a dick Tad?

Please!

Fine.

Mom's going to be angry!

She's out of control.

She won't let up about seeing tad tonight.

On weekends, remember?

On weekends, during the day?

Oh my God, like It's that easy Mike,

your child's in heat.

Can you talk to her?

Oh my God, what is wrong with you?

That's disgusting!

Come on Abby, come back here!

Jesus, did you hear it?

Could you talk to her, please?

Look, Shell, I'm just in the middle of this ...

I'm gonna to talk to her when I get back,

and just straighten it out, Okay?

Okay, your dinner is in the microwave.

Jesus Christ, that kid can fight.

I wonder where she gets that from.

Get ready to be happy.

So I run Crystal's plates through DMV

to cross check for dark sedans.

We came up with a couple dozen matches.

Just on a spec I run it through ViCAP

and sex offenders database.

How's this for a real charmer?

'97 arrested for holding a hooker at knife point,

that's two years.

Again, a hooker.

Paroled three years ago after

being repeatedly beaten inside.

And this is you closing the case down

how exactly?

Drive was the right car, he was in the area,

and he's been out since we lost the first girl.

With the snow and all the holiday weekend

only the most desperate

girls were on the streets.

Without witnesses.

That's his M.O.

The guy is a snow hunter.

It's the most we ever had.

And he's obviously got a thing for hookers.

Come on, throw us a bone.

last pool of the days kids.

Abby?

Okay, I'm gonna do the dishes.

If this music is still playing when i get back,

you're not seeing anyone this weekend, Okay?

Fine.

Would you like a refill?

Yeah.

Is that regular or diet?

What do you think?
