and it's really important

that you tell me how it got there

because a crime was committed.

What kind of crime?

What the hell does that matter

if you didn't drive it?

-Well, I'm just curious. Damn.

-HENRY:
Never mind about that.

It seems your grandma was mistaken.

-Hey, what the hell are you doing?

-Stay back!

Jesus! You crazy b*tch.

What did I do to you?

"B*tch"'? Is that what you called my sister

when you pulled her out of her bed?

-What? What are you talking about?

-This receipt!

At 7:
04 last night! You started work at 6:00!

You couldn't have been driving that,

but you were driving, because you lied!

Okay, calm down.

Somebody else was driving the van.

This guy came in.

He needed to move some tools, all right?

He gave me a couple hundred bucks

to use the van for a few hours.

By the time I got back from the club,

this van was right here, all right?

With the key on the tire.

-What was his name?

-Digger.

Oh, what, is that a first name?

I don't know. His name was Digger.

That's what he said.

-What did he look like?

-He was tall. He wore a hat.

That's it? You don't know where he lives?

-He was there for five minutes.

-Think!

Nick, where the hell did you go?

NICK:
Hey!

-Hey, stop!

Jesus!

Yeah, you better get your ass out of here!

HOOD:
Man, Sarge has a short fuse.

I told a stupid joke,

he practically ripped my head off.

No, he's not bad. it's just that you got soft.

How long were you on disability?

-You homicide?

-Yeah. And it's his third day, so be gentle.

What's up?

Jill Conway just broke into

a locksmith's van over in Oakdale.

When the locksmith's kid busted her,

she pulled out a .38.

Sh*t.

JILL ON SPEAKER:
You know what?

I have a better idea.

Why don't you listen to me, okay?

Because I'm the only one

that's actually trying to save my sister's life.

All right, what's on the receipt? Hurry up.

Okay. Three rolls of duct tape,

plastic sheeting, 50 feet of rope,

kerosene, and a lantern,

all bought yesterday by the same guy

whose van was outside of my house

this morning.

The locksmith's son said

he rented the van to a guy named Digger.

Digger"? You get it?

I sure do.

Hold on a second.

Jill, are you carrying a gun?

Hmm?

Listen to me very carefully.

You were involuntarily committed

to a mental health facility.

That means no firearms.

So you get down here

with that gun right now,

or it's going to get real bad

for you real fast. Okay?

Jill?

Jill, I do not have time for this.

-sh*t!

-What do you want?

-It's Hood. We're off speaker now.

Listen, I took a look at your file,

and I think you're right.

I think the same guy

who grabbed you grabbed Molly.

I talked to my boss, to Lieutenant Bozeman.

-And?

-I laid my ass on the line for you, all right?

I convinced him.

He gave me the case.

I'm the lead investigator.

I'm going to find Molly.

We'll do this together

Hello? Are you there?

-Yeah.

-Tell me where you are.

Ill come right oven

we'll get that gun squared away,

And I'll take a look at that receipt.

We'll pay the hardware store

a little visit, okay?

Maybe even take a look around Forest Park.

-No, we won't. You'll lock me up.

-What? No.

I want to help you, Jill.

You have to trust me.

You can't do this alone.

Just watch me.

We got a 12-34 out there waving a gun.

You know what that means?

If she drops someone,

it's on us for wrongful death.

Bring her in.

LONSDALE:
Jill deactivated the GPS

on her iPhone.

Have Marvin call up her tag,

then put out a BOLO.

-Check the cell tower on that last call.

-Okay.

She married you anyway?

What's wrong with her?

McKAY:
Well,

because I didn't tell her about it.

Oh! Okay.

OFFICER ON RADIO:

Portland Dispatch to cars,

stand by for Attempt to Locate.

I mean, what was I going to say to her?

"Baby, I banged your sister five years ago,

"but if I'd known I was going to marry you

someday, I wouldn't have done it."

OFFICER ON RADIO: Attempt to locate

Oregon license 216 David Charlie Boy.

A blue 1988 Saab

registered to Jillian Tyler Conway.

should be considered

armed and dangerous.

-So her sister kept quiet?

-Yeah, to the grave.

'Cause she knows if she breathes a word,

I won't do her again.

-Anything?

-BILLY ON PHONE:
No, she's not at her exam.

But you know what's weird?

Neither is Trey Burgess.

Who is that?

They did a project together

at the beginning of the quarter

He was always hitting on her,

trying to get her to smoke weed.

The TA gave me his address.

He lives in a dorm.

-Willard Hall.

-I used to live there freshman year.

I'm five minutes away. What dorm number?

-You sure?

-Yes, give it to me.

What about you? You find out anything?

Maybe. I'll call you back.

Hi there. What can I do you for?

This is going to sound kind of strange,

but my grandfather disappeared last night,

and I was hoping

you could help me find him.

He's got pretty advanced Alzheimer's.

Here's how I see it. The first time

a man hits his wife, she's a victim.

The second time, she's an accomplice.

Harsh.

Hey.

Isn't that our BOLO? The Saab?

Sure is.

-641, Dispatch.

-OFFICER ON RADIO: Go ahead, 641.

We have our suspect vehicle.

His next-door neighbor said

he saw him leave about 3:00 with a friend,

but I have no idea which friend he left with.

But I did find this receipt from here.

It looks like they were here about 7:04.

Do you have a surveillance camera?

Oh, no. We're not Home Depot.

Were you working yesterday at 7:04'?

I'm always working, dear. I own the place.

Maybe you remember

my grandfather and his friend?

-Hmm.

-'Cause that was...

Sir, if you wouldn't mind,

checkout is right at the front.

-Thank you. I will.

-You come back and see us, now.

OFFICER ON RADIO: Do you have a visual?

ASH:
Negative. Can't tell if it's occupied.

Non-emergency off the air

until cover arrives.

Standing by for cover. Start us more units.

-It was a pretty big sale.

-Oh, yeah, I remember this.

Only it wasn't two guys. It was only one guy.

He wasn't your grandfather.

He was only about 40.

Oh!

I know who it is.

I think it's the guy my grandfather

used to go fishing with.

-His name is Digger. His nickname's Digger.

-Mmm-hmm.

I don't know his real name, though.

Did he use a credit card, by any chance?

-Nope. He paid with cash.

-Do you remember anything else about him?

-Well...

I know that he drove

a 1990 Chrysler Imperial

with 176,000 miles on it.

I only know that 'cause he told me.

Pretty proud of that crate.

No idea why, but he parked it right up front.

-What color was it?

-It was kind of a burgundy.

Can I give you my phone number

in case you remember anything else?

You know what?

I know where he lives. How's that?

He told me that the powers that be

at the Royal Hotel

evicted him because

his car took up two parking spots.

-They can evict you for that?

-I figured he was pulling my leg about that.

I don't know. I've never heard of that.

Royal Hotel?

-It's up on Halsted, I think.
