Amateur hour with you two.

Do you know

how hard that thing is

- to strap on top of a Chevelle?

- Well, why'd you bring it?

Get inside.

You are so sexy when you're mad.

Come here.

Are you drunk?

Drunk might be overstating it

a little bit, huh?

- JT?

- He had a few beers.

Are you out of your mind?

Give me that.

Don't worry, Leanne.

I drove over here,

and I'm sober.

You haven't had

anything to drink?

No, no, I've been too nervous.

Well, at least one of you

is using your head.

Well, I had to take

the edge off, baby,

but I'm cool.

Let's do this.

Where's the little kid?

Be real gentle with her, Ok?

And make sure

that it's warm in there

because she's always cold,

and I gave you information

in case there's an emergency.

Don't worry, Leanne.

I got the instructions

just like you told us.

I took care of everything.

She's gonna be

fine, right, Billy?

Motherf***er.

Steel my woman, huh?

Take a whiff of that,

you piece of sh*t, mother...

What in god's name

are you doing?

I was just having a little fun

with shitface here.

Are you... that is disgusting.

Are you crazy?

You'll wake him up.

Wake him up?

What do you mean?

You said they'd be

out 'til morning.

Well, I don't know. I've never

drugged anybody before.

Oh, god, I have been

missing you, baby.

And you're not even

giving me a proper hug.

Billy. Really?

JT, a little privacy?

- Ok.

- Come on.

Let's do it right here

on the bed, huh,

right next to this shithead.

Knock it off!

Are you nuts!

God, we are seriously

wasting time, you guys.

Now get out of here. Come on.

There's enough time

to fool around later.

- All right.

- Oh, man.

Don!

Don! Patty's gone!

Don, come in here!

Patty's missing!

Don, I can't find her anywhere.

Don!

What?

Where is she?

- Oh, no.

- Patty! Patty!

Where is she?

Oh, don. I don't know.

- Ok, Ok, Ok.

- She's not here.

Call 911!

Hey, hey, hey.

Look, look...

Nobody's going to hurt you, Ok.

You can scream all you want.

No one's going to hear you.

Relax, relax.

Don't worry, breathe, breathe.

- Forget this, man.

- I'm not gonna hurt you.

He's not gonna hurt you, Ok?

Nobody's gonna hurt you.

I know it seems crazy.

It's Ok, relax.

Come here. Come here.

What the hell did you do to her?

Chloroform, man.

I had a feeling we'd need that.

Damn, what a brat.

Billy, you can't keep her

unconscious a whole month.

- She's just scared is all.

- She's just a pain in the ass

is what she is.

Obviously her father's daughter.

Poor girl, she's scared

she's been kidnapped

by two crazy men in masks.

Well, you know what?

Maybe it'll be good for the kid,

toughen her up.

Life isn't always going

to be this perfect,

little bullshit

suburban fairy tale

like she's been living.

She's gonna have to learn.

Life ain't f***ing fair!

It doesn't always turn

out like you thought.

Yeah, yeah, I got it.

There's no finger prints.

So what time was it, ma'am,

that you tucked Patty into bed?

About 9:
00,

we'd just had a big dinner,

and everybody was

sort of in a food coma

now my baby...

I can't believe she's missing.

And where were you

at this time, sir?

Oh. I was, uh, I had just eaten.

I was getting ready for bed.

I don't remember falling asleep.

We had had Turkey with

all the trimmings, you know.

And the tryptophan, I think,

it like knocks you out,

you know,

it's like Thanksgiving

when everybody

just falls asleep.

Patty loves her Turkey.

Do either of you have any

enemies that you know of?

Enemies?

Any recent disputes?

Uh, I don't know, you know?

I feel like...

I feel like we're

pretty well-liked.

- Yeah.

- I can be socially awkward.

But that's just

more being quiet.

I'm not a jerk.

I feel like maybe

people don't like don

but they don't say it?

But I still don't feel like

they would do this to us.

I agree.

Yeah.

What kind of goddamned psycho

does something like this?

Oh, don.

Why didn't you just wake up?

- You could have done something.

- I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

What kind of pictures

do you think

we should put out of Patty?

Like a pageanty one or...

Could I put out several?

We pay lots of money for

the best photographers.

We have great pictures of her.

We go to Walmart

and really get it done.

Oh, this is just great.

Glad we can see the

people in the background

because I don't

really want to see

the interview subjects.

Nancy, I need you

to cover a kidnapping

that just came in.

Yeah, right, a kidnapping.

Do you want the story or not?

- Are you serious?

- Yeah.

What are the details?

Ok, we don't know

much at this point,

an 11-year-old girl

taken from her home

in the middle of the night.

Investigators

are at the house now.

Well, is Matt ready?

Because I'm only using

his team from now on.

Yeah, they're waiting on you.

Don't blow this one!

Does this work?

If they're standing

at the front porch,

can you get us all

in if we need to

and in focus?

You tired of working

with the B team?

What good is it

to get an exclusive

if it's not in focus.

No national network's

going to pick that up.

It's just a waste.

Speaking of which,

if you want to get

noticed by the big boys,

you need to sex it up a little.

Unbutton a couple of buttons,

show some cleavage,

maybe some leg.

Matt, I'm about to

interview the parents

of a missing little girl.

Sick.

It couldn't hurt.

Don't you think

we should get closer?

You know?

Oh, see.

Is this what you wanted?

Yeah, that looks good.

Hold on.

They look huge on camera.

I know.

There's nothing to worry

about here, folks.

Sheriff Williams,

he's that good.

The best.

Did you talk to that

squirrelly guy next door,

the one with the thick glasses?

Oh, yeah. We interviewed

all the neighbors, sir.

He was twitching.

- Mm-hmm.

- Who's the biological father?

- He's the biological father.

- I need coffee right now.

Yes, sir, right away.

I'm sorry.

Excuse me, I didn't get

much sleep last night

after the call

about your daughter,

and it's been a really long day.

Well, so sorry for

the inconvenience,

but what is going on?

Do you have anything

to tell us all?

That's why it's important

that we put out

a press statement right now.

The earlier we get a

photo of her out there,

the better the chances

are that we'll find her

before something really bad...

Oh, my god! Thank you!

- Just like you like it, chief.

- Oh, I love coffee.

I'm an addict.

There's a ton of

press out there.

They're all waiting to

hear your statement.

There's going to

be cameras rolling.

Reporters are going

to be screaming at you

asking you all

kinds of questions.

You have to be ready.

The attention can be

a bit overwhelming.

In fact, if you're not up to it,

I'd be happy to take

the reins on this.

I've had a lot of experience

in front of the camera,

and I'm a bit of a student

of the theater, so.

Larson, here, he's

seen me in action.

Oh, excellent actor.

I did noises off six months ago.
