Mystic River Page #2

Your name, what's your name?

We're so f***ing out of here.

Good luck, man.

Dispatch, this is Unit 33.

We're gonna need a crime-scene tech,

and you might want to notify Homicide.

Thirty-three, have you

found a body yet? Over.

No, but by the looks of this car,

we'll find one sooner or later.

Yeah?

- I'm in the weeds here at the store...

...and I need some help.

You and Katie can't handle 6,

how you gonna handle the church crowd?

That's the thing, Katie ain't here.

- Hold on.

I'll be there in 10 minutes.

Just call Sal, make sure he can

get there at 8 instead of 10.

No-shows at work,

what if she no-shows at church?

She'll be there.

You know, she's gonna

screw up this day too.

Oh, what other day

has she screwed up lately?

You got two other daughters,

don't forget.

I'll be at the church before anybody else,

don't worry about that.

What the f***'s going on here?

Pete, anybody show?

- No.

Katie didn't call?

No.

Hello?

- Drew, Jimmy.

Sorry to wake you.

I'm looking for Katie.

Yeah, she's here, I think.

Hang on a second, let me go check.

Have a nice day.

No, it was Diane Cestra

who slept over. No Katie.

Eve said she dropped her off at around

Don't worry, I'll track her down.

She seeing anybody maybe?

- 19-year-old girls, who can keep a tally?

That's the cold truth, bud.

- I'll talk to you later.

I'll take hookers over old ladies any day.

Mind if I go grab a smoke?

- You can smoke the whole pack.

Can I help you, Brendan?

No, Mr. Markum, I'm looking

for some of that tea that my ma likes.

That's Barry's. Next aisle.

- Thanks.

When's Sal getting here?

- Anytime now.

That it, Bren?

- A Globe.

I thought Katie worked on Sundays.

Are you sweet

on my man's daughter, Bren?

No, I just see her here sometimes.

Her little sister's making

her First Communion today.

Thanks. Come on, Ray.

Can I ask you something, Jimmy?

Shoot.

Why do you hate that kid so bad?

It's not hate. Doesn't that little

mute f***er spook you out sometimes?

No, not Silent Ray, Brendan.

He's nice. Does sign language with

his brother even though he doesn't have to.

He doesn't want him to feel alone.

But you look at Brendan

like you're two steps away...

...from slicing off his nose

and feeding it to him.

No. Really?

- Straight up.

Here's Sal. About f***ing time.

Hey, there, bad boy.

- Sarge.

This should be the city's,

but the park's state jurisdiction.

So if the body's in there,

the case is ours.

How much evidence do you

think they've destroyed?

Let's go find out.

Parker Hill vic walks

into the ER on his own,

steak knife sticking out of his collarbone.

He asks the nurse,

'Hey, where they keep the Coke machine?'

Did she tell him?

- Tom, what do we got on the car so far?

We found the registration in the glove box.

Owner is Katherine Markum.

Oh, sh*t.

- You know her?

Maybe. Might be the daughter

of a guy I know.

We found a wallet and a license

in a backpack. She's 19.

Oh, f***, that's her.

- Is it a problem? You close with the guy?

When we were kids. Now it's just

a 'hello' around the neighborhood.

Nineteen.

F***, man.

He's in for a world of hurt.

Do not make her laugh.

Door was ajar when we found it,

headlights on.

Blood on the driver's door, speaker,

more blood on top of the steering wheel...

...around this bullet hole. Punched through

the driver's seatback, shoulder level.

Okay, perp stood outside the car...

...girl slams him with the door,

perp gets a round off...

...hits her in the shoulder, maybe the bicep.

She runs for it

through the trampled weeds...

What do you think?

- Yeah, I dig that.

Body of Christ.

Body of Christ.

- Amen.

My God, Jimmy, our baby.

Body of Christ.

Body of Christ.

Body of Christ.

So I'm thinking she hid

out here for a little bit.

The killer shows, she bolts.

She goes to the other side,

she takes off running again.

Well, we better call in some divers

while we're at it.

Body of Christ.

Body of Christ.

So you haven't seen him

in a long time or what?

No, I haven't seen him since we were kids.

Once in a while, I run into him.

Sure looked cute, though, didn't he?

Daddy, Daddy.

- Hey, darling. Good day, huh?

This dress itches.

Yeah, I'm not even wearing it,

and it's itching me.

We are so proud of you.

Morning, honey.

Dave, there's nothing about it

in the papers. I checked three times.

It was late, real late.

Morning, Mikey.

- Morning, Dad.

You up for hitting some Wiffle Balls?

- Yeah, come on, let's go.

Come on.

Put your coat on, Mike.

Thanks, Mom.

Hey, Jimmy.

- What's up, Ed?

They got Sydney blocked off,

Crescent to Dunboy.

Boo Bear Durkin saw frogmen going

into the Pen. Why you all decked out?

Nadine's First Communion.

- What are you doing here?

Just curious, I guess.

That's my daughter's car.

That's my daughter's car.

The dog's sniffing

something by the old bear cage.

Want to take a walk over?

- Yeah.

Trooper Devine?

- Yeah, go ahead.

We got a guy on Sydney

says he's the father.

Oh, sh*t.

Got a psychologist on the scene yet?

- En route.

Just keep him calm till the shrink gets here.

Asking for you. Says he knows you.

Not taking no for an answer.

And he's got some guys with him.

What guys?

- Crazy-looking guys.

The Savage brothers.

- Just a 'hi' around the neighborhood, huh?

All right, I'm on my way.

Hey, guys.

- That's our niece in there.

Let us in.

- We're doing our job.

Let us in.

- F*** you.

The doughnut shop's that way.

Nick, Val, ease up.

- F***ing d*ckhead.

Enough.

- Nick.

Go to Drew Pigeon's house, talk to his

daughter. Katie was with them last night.

Kevin, let's go.

- And, guys?

These girls are friends,

so don't be hard on them.

But get answers.

- You got it.

Yeah, that's what I believe. Yeah.

Hey, Jimmy. Hey, man.

Is she in there?

- All we're doing is looking.

Quit blowing sunshine up his ass.

- That's my daughter's car.

I understand.

- And it's got blood in it.

You got f***ing dogs all over. Why do you

got dogs looking for my daughter, Sean?

Because we're looking, Jimmy, okay?

Right now all she is is missing, okay?

Trooper Devine?

- Yeah, say again.

Sergeant Powers says you need

to get in here ASAP.

Your location?

- The old bear cage. It's a f***ing mess.

All right.

Make sure he doesn't get through.

You got those bolt cutters in your car?

I'll get us right through

that Sydney Street fence.

Go.

There's a massive search underway

for a woman missing in Buckingham Flats.

All we know now

is there are signs of foul play...

...in a car found abandoned

outside of Pen Park.

Now, police officers have moved in quickly

and cordoned off the area...

...but even as we speak,

a crowd of spectators has gathered.

We don't know more than that,

but we will stay on the story.

Until later, this is Jim Smith

reporting for WB 56, 10:00 news.

Ready? Bat back.

All the way back.

I never saw anything like that before.

What do we got?

Oh, Christ.

Is that her?
