High Road Page #4

Yeah

I gotta get on

the DMV Web site.

Uh...

DSL. We're almost there.

Okay. When did this happen?

About 45 minutes ago.

Two hours and 15 minutes.

Okay. It's great that you

came here immediately.

The first three hours of any abduction

is what they call the kill zone.

A very dangerous time. What?

It's a crucial time.

So we gotta find this person in this time...

I've never heard

of any kill zone.

What the f***

are you talking about?

Well, it's the kill zone.

This is where people are stabbed, shot, murdered.

This is when the perpetrator

usually panics

and goes off his rocker...

All right. Shut up.

Don't talk about

the kill zone anymore.

That f***ing bugs me.

I don't know what happened to him.

It's also 90%

of the sexual crimes happen...

Shut the f*** up, Fogerty!

I'm just trying to be honest.

That's my son!

Well, he's a good-looking kid.

Are you out

of your f***ing mind?

Are you out of your f***ing mind?

I'm not.

I don't mean to get

your feathers all riled up.

Well, you did, a**hole!

I didn't mean to do that.

He's not getting raped,

and he's not getting killed!

We don't know what's happening

to him right now.

We don't know,

so quit saying it!

That's why it's crucial

that we find out.

What do you mean, he's a good-looking kid?

What are you talking about?

We got one more guy

that's gotta crash this party.

A guy by the name

of Boston Johnny.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

I didn't think you were

allowed to carry that.

Not through the department.

But I do have this registered.

It's not the department.

It's a legal entity. It doesn't matter.

It's legal. I got a permit. Take this.

I don't have any pockets.

Okay. Great.

I don't wanna see that, by the way.

You won't see it

unless you have to see it,

unless he makes me

show him this.

Rico, I'm back in 20 minutes.

Gotta run an errand.

Whoa.

Are you okay? No.

Come on. Come on.

Come here.

Jeff, Maryanne,

can you guys give us a second?

Thank you.

I'm embarrassed. Why?

It's just emotions coming out.

It's okay. Yeah.

Talk to Barry.

Well, it's Fitz.

He's been dealing weed... Okay.

And it was all over our house.

And I don't know

where he is right now.

Where is he?

And I'm freaked out.

He left. He won't answer

any of my phone calls.

You should call him

And I don't know what to do.

I'm pregnant.

With his baby? Yeah.

Whoa. Wow.

I'm so f***ed.

I'm so f***ed, Barry.

I don't...

I f***ed this up so bad.

I have no idea what to do.

There, there.

There, there.

I just feel like such a

f***ing idiot. Just...

I f***ed everything up.

Y-You didn't do anything.

I mean, do I even want this?

Do I even want a f***ing baby?

I don't know. I...

Oh...

Oh, my God. Oh, my God!

Ew! Barry!

I... What...

Barry!

What the f***? Wah!

What the crap? Aw, man.

What am I supposed to do?

Should I quit?

No. Why would you quit?

You're great at your job.

Oh! You're married!

Things are really bad

at home with my wife.

Ew! I don't need to hear that.

I don't.

You should f***ing... I thought...

Oh, my God! Oh, my God!

I thought you were

hitting on me.

I'm gonna take a sick day.

Leave, relax.

Totally come back.

Ew, ew, ew.

Aah! Aah! Ew! Ew!

It's funny. Weird. What...

It's ridiculous.

All the classic bands

like Zeppelin, The Who...

I mean,

how do you explain that?

Those are trios.

No, they're not.

Front man and guitar

count as one.

Your triangle totally

ruined the Godfather series,

because that was fine until

it added your third vertices.

Yeah. Of course,

there's bad triangles.

is covered in water.

They still call it Earth.

Hey, what's up?

You got an extra smoke, man?

I buy them at the store.

They come in packs of 20.

You should probably do

the same thing. Okay.

Uh, my friends are in there.

I'm just gonna run in and get them.

Yeah, it's closed.

There's a rehearsal going on.

Yeah, but the people

rehearsing are, like, my buds.

Yeah, I got a lot of friends,

too.

Okay.

What, are you doing a chaperone deal?

What's up?

No, this is my buddy.

We're friends from college.

College? Yeah.

Old college buds.

College of children?

No. Children...

I lost my wallet.

I don't have my I D.

Yeah, no I D, no go in.

I recognize you.

I've played here before.

I was in a band

called Tor Eagle.

What does that even mean?

The name of the band

is Tor Eagle.

It's, like, the first two

letters of everybody's name.

T-O... Tommy. R-I... Richie.

G-L... Glen. That's my name.

Did you guys vote on that?

We made it up when we were 16.

Sounds about right.

If you're not gonna let me in,

can you go get them?

Yeah.

Just yell out "Tor Eagle"?

I don't know.

His name's Rich. Okay.

Her name's Sheila. Don't move.

You want a bicycle

to hang around on or something?

All right. I get it. I'm a kid.

Yeah, you're a kid.

I'm not gonna go anywhere.

Clear out!

He's a f***ing a**hole. I know.

You wanna take a break?

What's up?

Hi.

You guys look cool.

Thank you. Oh, yeah.

We're in a White Stripes

cover band.

Awesome.

We're called 8th Nation Army.

Get it?

'Cause of the song. Yeah. Yeah.

Can I talk to you? Sure.

Oh, this is Sheila.

Rich, Jimmy.

Hi. Is that a kid or something?

This is the gig

that Tommy got you guys?

Yes. And it pays way better

than you think it does.

You're in a tribute band? Yes.

And it's actually really fun.

Sheila's good.

Are you feeling a little sad?

I know we just met, but I sort of

have a sense about these things.

Some of my friends

consider me kind of a healer.

Uh-huh. I'm not certified,

but I usually am

pretty spot-on about them.

Um...

Uh, I guess.

You are sad.

Yeah, I can feel it. Sure.

What do you want?

I need to borrow your van

for a few days.

No. I can't let you

use my van, man.

It's only a couple days.

I wouldn't ask you if I didn't need it.

I didn't know

I was giving off a sad vibe.

You're confused. Okay.

Things are changing

in your body.

People find that confusing.

Yeah.

I remember being scared to death

when that happened to me.

You look at yourself

in the mirror,

and you don't

necessarily recognize

who's looking back at you.

Facial hair.

You know what else.

Can I offer you some advice?

So I'm taking him to Oakland

to hang out with his mom,

and I'm gonna chill

with Arnie for a little bit.

Your dad Arnie? Yeah.

You're gonna go

hang out with your dad?

I mean, if that's any indication

about how desperate I am...

Jesus.

Just don't mess up my car.

Okay. I won't.

You don't have

any smokes, do you?

No. I've got

nicotine gum in the car,

but it tastes like sh*t.

You have any weed? No. I quit.

I'm just kidding.

Jesus, I was about

to disown you.

I don't have it here with me.

It's at the hotel.

That sucks. Yeah.

Wanna come to Oakland?

I can't, man.

Trust me,

if you eat these things,

you'll grow six inches

in six months.

Really?

Nuts. Nuts.

Yeah. Really good for you.

Buzz Aldrin... when he landed on the moon,

you know what he had in his pocket?
