I thought that we had

gotten past that, Greg.

You're clinging to this theory

like a frigging flat-Earther.

It doesn't hold water.

You can't expect me

to believe that her parents

think that she would

intentionally hurt Erik.

Well, that is absolutely crazy talk.

Fine.

Bring it to the arbitrator.

Let him decide.

Yeah. Yeah.

She's sober.

Her tests come back

negative every week.

That means she's clean.

Oh, fine.

No, I don't have anything else.

Thank you for being

so f***ing reasonable, Greg!

I hope that you

can sleep well tonight.

Crap.

You still haven't found the owner?

Oh, yeah.

I mean, no, not... not yet.

Hey.

She's a, um... a weim...

How do you say it?

Weimaraner.

Weimaraner. Yeah.

Right, I can never remember that

Hey.

Are you planning a trip somewhere?

Oh, no, I'm just...

I... I don't know.

Maybe sometime,

but not... not now.

She's really cute.

Have you named her?

I'm just calling her

Carol right now.

Wha...

Yikes. Carol?

It's... I don't know.

It's my sister's name.

I guess I don't really...

I just don't really know

that many girls' names.

What's your name?

E-Evan.

Hi.

I'm Allegra.

Now you know two girls' names.

You know, it's really nice

to have a guy on the beat

in the neighborhood.

Makes everyone feel safer,

you know.

Thanks, Tony.

I appreciate that.

Wait right here.

You don't tell anyone.

This is for you.

Oh, I... I, uh...

It's policy. I-I'm not allowed.

Policy?

Yeah.

It's ridiculous. It's cannoli.

Um, I... I could buy it.

They're on special,

two for a dollar.

I get 4 bucks apiece for those.

Yeah, that's a... that's

a pretty good special.

Here.

All right.

You know we're in a drought.

Hey, Detective.

Are you doing the work

on this house alone?

Yeah, uh... Yeah.

Yeah, it's a labor of love, you know.

Six months, it's... it's a big job.

So did you come here

to admire my house,

or you, uh... you gonna

take me up on my offer,

you know, picnic, a drink, dinner?

No. No, actually, uh,

I need your help about something.

See, I was thinking about

the statement you gave

inside the station yesterday, and...

and something doesn't seem right.

What's that?

Why were you eating lunch

at the softball field

the day you picked up

Christie and Heather?

I beg your pardon?

Well, I mean, you said

you eat lunch there every day,

but when I asked the neighbors

around the field

if they'd ever

seen your truck before,

they said no, never seen it.

Well, they're just plain wrong.

I go there every day.

I... I eat my sandwich.

I watch a T-ball game

or a softball game.

Can you prove that,

Mr. Beckworth?

I don't go there

at the same time every day.

I don't eat my lunch

at any set hour.

It's funny. The mothers

that live around that field,

they're kind of nosy,

and they have a really great

Neighborhood Watch program.

Detective, I'm not

gonna argue with you.

I've got no reason to lie about

eating my sandwich at Memorial Park,

whether I show up there

at 3:
00 or 12:00

or park my truck a foot away

from where it was the day before.

Please,

believe me.

Right.

Forget about the drought.

A garden like that's gonna

attract a lot of attention.

You gonna give me a ticket?

No. It's not my department.

I was just, you know...

You giving me a warning?

Well, thank you for the warning.

Don't start with me.

I've had a hell of a day.

We're gonna run

and then I think we need

to start pulling back by Sunday, okay?

Oh, sh*t.

Ohh. I forgot she was coming by

Coming!

Don't move.

Sorry about that.

I totally forgot about the time,

but come on back.

Oh. Um, if you're busy, I can...

No, it's fine. Come in.

He's not shy.

Okay...

Sorry about that.

It always happens around

attractive women.

This is my brother.

Hello, Erik. I'm Kate.

Can you hand me the,

um, pitcher behind you?

Thank you.

- Thanks.

- Sure.

Actually,

do you think

you could give me a hand?

Of course. Of course.

What, uh... What can I do?

I'm gonna lift him,

and if you could just rinse

the, uh, soap out of his hair.

Yes.

Okay...

There we go.

- Okay? Just like this?

- Yeah.

That's great.

Thanks.

I was gonna get

his hair cut for Sunday,

but I think it looks

pretty good longer.

Don't you?

Yeah, I like it long.

What do you think

of the moustache?

Um, let's see.

I like the moustache.

I hate it.

Will you hold up his arm?

Um, yeah.

Thanks.

So you've been sober

about six months now.

How exactly did that happen?

Did you wake up one morning

and decide that you'd hit rock bottom?

Um, I think it was more

like I hit the bottom,

and then the rock fell on me.

You don't think we're gonna

win this case, do you?

Isn't this hard for you?

Yeah. Yeah, it's hard.

It's really f***ing hard,

hardest thing I've ever done.

You have kids?

No.

Me neither.

But I imagine it's a lot

like having a baby.

A really big, heavy baby

that you have to shave

and you get to curse around.

You didn't answer my question.

He can't go in one of those places.

He needs me.

And I need him.

Good birthday so far?

Best birthday

now that you're here.

A couple of friends took me

to Katsuya for dinner,

and I made them promise

to get me back by 10:00.

You didn't have to do that.

Could have done this

on another night.

No, I've been waiting

for this all day.

All right, wait a second.

Wait a second. Hold on.

Don't you want to talk a little bit

before your birthday f***?

No.

Wait here.

Okay...

Get in here!

You like?

Yeah.

Yeah, you look great.

Oh, God.

Do you have a condom, T?

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Did you just...

I did.

Sorry. I just... You know, your bra,

you looked hot and...

I'm sorry.

I gotta go...

I was bad from early on. I just...

You can't stay longer?

I can't, sweetie.

All right. I'll call you when I'm...

when I'm out. Okay?

Happy birthday, baby.

I'll make it up to you, I promise.

I got to pee.

It's okay if I pee, right?

I... I think so, yeah. Sure.

I won't be long.

You ready?

Yeah. Right, baby?

You're in here.

Hey, it's gonna be great.

I'll see you in, what,

an hour or so?

Well, by the time

the anesthesia wears off,

it's probably more

like a couple of hours.

A couple of hours. Quick.

- Will you follow me?

- Yeah.
