Disconnect Page #6

It was the start of the war,

so we were pretty buttoned up.

I had to pee in water bottles.

And at one point, Gunny Mullin wanted

to stitch up a couple of hadjis

'cause they kept, like,

driving back and forth in front of us,

but the call never came.

You remember Mullin, right?

From Lejeune?

Good guy, like, a long torso?

What is it?

It's just, you never

talk about this stuff.

(CAR ALARM CHIRPING)

Right. Stay here.

Stay, stay, stay.

Derek, be careful.

(WHISPERING) I don't think

we should do this. This doesn't feel right.

CINDY:
What am I looking for?

Any proof.

Receipts, bank statements.

- Cindy.

- What is it?

(VEHICLE APPROACHING)

CINDY:
Sh*t!

- Oh, God! We gotta get out of here.

- Go.

CINDY:
Leave it! Let's go!

Go, go, go.

Sonny boy, doing your homework?

- That's what I'm doing now.

- Yeah? Good.

Where'd you get that?

That's Frye's.

He left it here on accident.

- On accident?

- Yeah.

- You're not on it?

- No.

(TABLET CHIMES)

Hmm.

Your computer time

is over tonight.

Really?

Really? Really?

Stay off it. Put it here.

Do your work.

All right. I'm doing it.

Don't make me be the bad guy.

KYLE:
Hey, what's going on?

NINA:
Hey, thanks for

calling me back. I want...

Hold on one second.

I'm just running out of the house.

So, have you given any thought

to what we talked about the other day?

What about? Like the future?

Yeah. I meant what I said.

I wanna help you.

Maybe, you know,

go to school or...

I'd like to help you get on your feet.

- Really?

- Yeah.

And I know you think that

Harvey's a decent guy, and I understand,

'cause he took care of you.

But here's the thing,

he's using you to recruit minors.

And that's a felony.

Really? It's a felony?

Yeah. Recruiting minors

could get you serious jail time.

So, what do you want me to do?

- You wanna get me outta here?

- Yeah.

Just say the word

and I'll come and get you.

I can come get you now,

if you want.

You want my address?

How else are you gonna

move all of your stuff?

All that sh*t that

everybody buys you.

Um, look, can I think about it?

Yeah, just call me.

- Okay, bye.

- Bye.

You are, yes. No, you're the

same detective I spoke to, sir.

R- H-O-N-Y.

Yes, I'll hold.

No, no, no. You don't have

somebody from Legal call me.

I am a lawyer, okay?

I'll subpoena you. Do you understand me?

Now, this is your website,

you work with me.

The profile name

is Jessica Rhony.

R- H-O-N-Y.

What's happening?

Hey.

MAN:
We'll have someone

get in touch with you.

Yeah, as soon as you can.

Rich.

What are you doing?

Hang on. R-H-O-N-Y.

- H-O-R-N-Y.

- What?

"Horny." Hang on a second,

is this a f***ing anagram?

- Is this a f***ing joke?

- You know what?

You need to pull it together.

I don't even know

what that means, Lydia.

Let the cops do their job.

- And you can do yours.

- They can do theirs.

What are you talking about?

I'm his father. I'm looking for answers.

- Don't you give a sh*t what's going on?

- No, no, no.

Don't you tell me how to handle this.

You don't get to tell

me how to handle this.

Then don't tell me how to handle it.

Ben is down there and you're in here.

Right. Doing my job.

You're down there doing your job.

You're stroking his hair,

you're whispering to him. That's great!

I can't do that. I'm doing this.

This girl might not exist.

What, so you have someone to blame?

And then, is he gonna wake up?

ABBY:
He just lies there.

And every once in

a while something moves,

but they say it's just an impulse.

My parents are totally imploding.

What do the doctors say?

Oh, my God!

He invited me to Danny's.

- Oh!

- What should I say?

- What are you gonna say? "Yes"?

- I don't know.

Say yes.

But I don't know.

What?

I got a bank account statement.

Yeah?

Yeah. Looks like we got a check here

for $4,700, and another one for $3,950.

Okay. Does it say what it's for?

He's probably paying off his mortgage

on our dime.

Look at this.

Look at this.

Pay-Per-View charge.

Adult entertainment, $59.

- In one month?

- In one month.

I knew he was a creep.

What do you think it's for?

Children of the Cornhole?

(LAUGHS)

Sperms of Endearment.

(LAUGHS)

I'm gonna confront this guy, Cindy.

When he's least expecting it,

I'm gonna go to his house. I'll walk up,

I'll knock on the door,

and I'm just gonna say,

"What's up? What's going on?

Have you seen our money?

"We kind of miss our money."

I'll just talk to him a bit, man to man.

I mean, you never know

what he could be like.

I'll be fine.

And if something goes wrong,

I brought my M9.

You brought your gun?

It's not gonna get to that.

I'm just gonna scare him a little.

People like this,

they need to be scared sometimes.

And that's my job.

I'm gonna scare him.

(INAUDIBLE)

(MACHINES BEEPING)

RICH:
Hey. How you doing?

Sorry.

You know Ben?

Yeah, from school.

Really nice of you to come.

What's your name? I'm Rich.

- Mike.

- How you doing?

Come on in. You guys close?

You know, Mike,

let me ask you question?

He ever mention anybody named Jessica?

- Jessica?

- Yeah. He ever talk about her?

No.

Come on in. Grab a chair.

I actually gotta get going.

No, no, stay. I mean,

not because of me. Just stay.

Maybe I can buy you a soda or something.

Let me buy you a soda.

I want a coffee.

Good coffee upstairs.

Come on.

Okay.

He goes to the gym?

Really?

Well, we were there,

but we were just kind of messing around.

Sounds more like it.

What else? Anything?

What's he do for fun?

- For fun?

- Yeah.

You guys ever do anything crazy?

I mean, we blow stuff up sometimes.

- Really?

- Yeah, I mean, we lit these little firecrackers,

and then we'd take

all our little army parachute figures,

and we'd go to a building

and then threw it out the window.

And it would blow up while it was

still floating down to the bottom.

It was crazy.

I should go. My dad kind of

gets mad when I'm late, so...

Okay.

Thanks.

You come by any time you want.

- All right?

- Okay.

(BEN VOCALIZING MELODY

ON LAPTOP)

(CELL PHONE BUZZES)

You guys said you'd protect him

if I gave you his address.

ROBERTA:
Yeah, I promise you.

This is for his own good.

NINA:
I can't have

anything happen to him.

Don't worry,

we do this every day.

Social Services will be on hand.

When are you gonna go in?

It's a few days or a week for a warrant.

What? A week?

Are you sure that this is the best idea?

Trust me. Listen. Listen.

What you've done is a really good thing,

Ms. Dunham.

- Right.

- You did good.

Right. Well, thank you.

Work it, God.

Just hurry up.

I'm trying.

These f***ers put you through hell.

All right. All right. Reason...

JASON:
Hurry up.

FRYE:
I'm trying, man.

Takes a long time.

You have to e-mail them and...

You have to give a reason.

I don't feel safe online.

Hey, boys.

Oh, hey.

We were just looking for a power cord

for Frye's iPad.

FRYE:
I gotta charge it.

Top right drawer.

- Got it. Thanks.

- MIKE:
Got it?

Hey, fellas!
