Ha ha! I'm sorry.

It must be a real pain.

Oh, hey, listen. Kevin said

that you told him about Becky's brother

even though I said it was confidential.

Oh, you know, I don't--Hmm.

I don't think I said much, though, did I?

- You know, the last thing I need--

- I may have mentioned it.

The last thing I need

is someone on my side

with a big mouth, Sandra.

You know what I mean?

If you can't cooperate with me here--

I'm sorry.

I need to be able to trust you.

Right.

I'm very sorry...

- Just be quiet.

- ...you know.

Either you need to watch her,

or we need to find someone reliable.

Um, yeah, I could watch her,

but the thing is, it's so busy out there.

No, no, no, I know.

You have a restaurant to run.

- We've asked too much of you already.

- Yeah.

Just wish I could spare one flippin' officer,

just someone to run over.

Yeah, can't you, or--

Unfortunately, no.

It has to be someone new

on your end.

Oh. Well, um, you know,

I could get Marti, but, see,

Marti's needed out there, too.

- Right, right, right.

- You know?

Well, let me ask you a question.

Are you married?

Uh, no, but I'm--

Heh. I'm gonna be soon.

You're engaged?

Yeah, I am.

Oh, well, that's great. Congrats.

Well, thanks, yeah.

Terrific. Ha ha!

Well, do you trust him?

Yes, of course.

[dog barks outside]

Well, what's he up to?

You think he could come by and help?

Um...

Gee, uh...

Do you think--

Yeah, it's a little unstandard,

I know. Jeez.

But it'd really help me out.

Yeah.

It would help you. Okay.

Uh, well, I would have to call him,

and I would just have to see if he,

you know, could come.

[dog barks]

Great.

Why don't you do that for me, then?

[vehicle approaches]

[no audible dialogue]

[laughter echoing]

So the officer's name is Daniels,

and we're just waiting on them.

So who is it again?

Are you drunk?

No.

I already told you it's Becky from the front.

That little blonde girl?

Yeah.

Becky? You remember Van, don't you?

BECKY:
Yeah. Hey.

- VAN:
Hey.

- Well, he's gonna sit with you

until they come, okay?

Do we really have to do this?

Honey, it's not up to me.

Hello, Officer?

- Yeah.

- I have Van here,

and I'm gonna hand the phone

over to him,

and then I'm gonna get back

out there, okay?

That'd be great.

Okay, here he is.

Here's--Here's Van.

Hello.

Hello. Who's this?

This is Evan Balcer.

Evan Balcer, A-L-C-E-R?

Do you want a Diet Coke, hon?

Diet Coke?

- Sandra, how much longer?

- You're what, her boyfriend?

- VAN:
Yeah.

- SANDRA:
Honey, I don't know.

- Do you have a date?

- VAN:
Not really, no.

What do you want to drink?

All right, Evan,

you got a real fine lady...

- Diet Coke is okay.

- ...in Sandra there.

Thanks.

Yeah. So what do you do?

Y-You're a general contractor?

- Yeah.

- Yeah?

You don't work at the ChickWich?

- No.

- Not even part-time?

- Nah.

- [laughs]

And, uh, what was

your whereabouts tonight?

What were you doing?

Uh, it was a long day at work,

so I just hung out with some buddies

at their--their house, you know.

Oh, man, you got dragged in here, huh?

I did, yeah. [laughs]

Well, get used to it. That's the way

it's gonna be once you get married.

They never let you out.

All right, Evan.

You ready to do this? She fill you in

on everything we need to do here?

Not really, no.

She, uh, she said I just

had to sit here and wait.

Well, I bet she told you

Becky stole money.

Pardon me?

She told you Becky stole the money?

Right.

BOY-

Well, I'm in charge of the crime scene

and everything that happens here,

and you're gonna assist me, okay?

I--I guess so. [chuckles]

Okay'

And the first thing we need to do

is find that money she took.

Okay'

I'm gonna need you to inspect her.

Does she still have that apron on?

Yep.

Yeah, why don't we start by...

having her take that off.

[chuckles]

He says you gotta take off the apron.

What?

Oh, and, Evan,

if she won't take it off I'm gonna

need you to take it from her.

We gotta find the money that you took.

Someone else already

made me take it off.

I'm naked. The--

And we have to find that money.

Did she-Has she taken it off yet?

No. She said somebody already asked her

and that she doesn't have the money.

She's naked.

[chuckles]

[Daniels laughs]

You believe everything a thief says?

Evan, you're a grown man.

You think a naked girl doesn't

have a place to hide money?

[chuckles]

- Well, I just--I don't--

- Yeah.

I want you to see her without that apron.

I'm gonna need you to describe her body.

[door opens]

BECKY:
Hey, Sandra,

can't we have Marti come back here?

Honey, why are you making this

more difficult than it has to be?

Can you hold on a second, Officer?

All right.

Is this okay to be doing?

What do you mean?

I don't know. It--I don't get it.

I mean, you gotta find the money?

Well, yeah, of course.

Is that what he said?

Yeah.

What is he saying?

Jesus, Van.

How many beers have you had?

Let me talk to him.

Hello, Officer?

Yes.

How--How's he doing?

Oh, he's doing great, just really great,

almost as sweet and helpful as you.

[laughs]

Uh, so he's better than Kevin.

- He's, uh--

- Oh, yeah.

Yeah. He's not giving you any trouble?

No, no, no.

We were doing just great.

Okay, great.

Well, then, I'm gonna go ahead

and hand the phone back to Van,

and I'm gonna get back out there.

- Okay, you do that.

- Okay.

Yeah, this is Van.

BECKY:
Can't just, like, you or Marti--

Can I come sit with you guys out there...

- Is Sandra still there?

- Yeah.

...where I can wait or something

in the employee area?

Well, honey, what are you gonna do,

walk through the dining room?

She's talking to Becky or...?

- This isn't going to go on much longer.

- Yeah.

Here. Have something to drink, okay?

You'll be all right?

Yeah. Well, you know,

these are sensitive matters.

It's probably better

to let them talk about it

before we, uh,

do what we need to do here.

[door closes]

- Okay.

Is Sandra still there?

Y-Yeah, she left.

Is she coming back any time soon?

I don't know.

- I don't think so.

- 'Kay.

Then you need

to tell Becky to take it off.

And, look, I work with

troubled teens all the time.

There's usually some resistance,

but... usually they just want to help.

They want to do the right thing, so just--

This is what works.

Be stern with her.

Don't give her a choice.

Go ahead.

Please, don't. This is craz--

Just don't make me do this.

This is crazy.

Let me talk to Becky.

He wants to talk to you.

BECKY:
Hello.

So I want you to do me a favor

and look around at where you are.

That's where you are.

Where we are is at your house,

searching it for your brother's drugs.

My brother doesn't do drugs.

Enough. Enough.

Shut up.

We have you with witnesses

stealing from the restaurant.

You aren't cooperating.

You aren't helping us

conduct our investigation.

It's not good.

All right, looks like

we're gonna have to take you in.

They'll look at your criminal record,
