- Danny. How you doing?

Good.

Did I see you come in last night

with a rather good-looking girl?

Uh, yeah.

She's a...

she's a friend from school.

She's hot. You wouldn't want

to share, would you?

I could come over, we could party.

You could watch.

You know, I'm kinda busy, but...

you got an audition?

Oh, this...

rock video, high school theme thing,

you know. Tits and ass.

Hey, I gotta get to work but...

good luck with the audition.

Yeah. Let me know

if you change your mind.

In other news, the police

are asking for the public's help...

Iooking for a young woman

named Laura Baxter...

who has disappeared

from a local hospital.

Ms. Baxter suffers from a sleep

disorder called "Parasomnia"...

which renders her helpless

most of the time.

Authorities are afraid that

she may have been kidnapped.

As you can see

from the security pictures...

it's difficult to see

the man's face in the image.

They believe the man to be

an art student...

who had come to see Ms. Baxter

on several occasions.

The Public is asked to help

by calling the following number...

F***!

F***ing unbelievable.

Sturdy lock on the f***ing door.

Damn it!

- Sara, what's the matter?

- Somebody broke in.

I think they took a bunch of sh*t.

- Did you call the cops?

- Yeah, immediate.

But I'm not gonna wait for them to come.

I'm gonna see exactly what's missing.

- I'm sorry to hear that.

- F*** sturdy locks on the door. Damn it.

Laura?

Laura!

Give me an "A"!

Give me a "C"!

Give me a "Z"!

Give me an "R"!

Give me a...

a...

a "P"!

What's that spell?

I don't think it spells anything.

Home...

it spells home.

It is there

where your fear dwells.

That is the home

of the Clouded Man.

I will love you.

I will save you from him.

But there are things

you must do for me.

Tick, tick, tick, tick.

Tick, tick.

Laura?

In time, she's mine.

She's mine in time.

In time, she's mine.

She's mine in time.

Hospital?

No...

no hospital.

Home.

Did I do wrong?

No, I did.

Please, don't leave me!

Copy that, we're going to the scene.

Attention, cars.

A group of boys

is causing distress at the hotel.

The receptionist's car was attacked

at the parking lot.

Oh, boy.

It was my plan.

Nah.

Anybody touch anything?

No, sir.

So what does that mean?

That means

it's gonna be a long day.

I swear to God.

Why is it always Monday?

Why can't they stretch

this sh*t out over the week?

'Cause you're supposed to suffer.

'Cause this is purgatory

for a past crime in another life.

Hank, what in the hell are you doing

here? You're supposed to be on vacation.

I am on vacation.

I'm having a great time.

So I'm guessing this is not

the work of a boyfriend.

No, no, no.

I know what you're thinking.

It can't be him.

How do you know?

Because I was at the hospital

doing follow-up...

when I got the call to come over here

and I saw him he's locked up tight.

Yeah, being locked up

means nothing to that guy.

For all we know, he coulda got

someone else to come do this.

Who Squeaky Fromme?

I'm just saying.

Look, hope that you're right.

This guy only cares about two things

his book store and himself.

Three things.

- What?

- Three things, the girl.

- Who?

- You know, the girl.

- Oh, the sleeping one, yeah.

- He cares about her.

All right. Three things.

- Where's Clark?

- Clark?

Clark!

Yes, sir.

- You got that list of tenants for me?

- Yeah.

- Thanks, Clark.

- No problem.

Which apartments do you want

odd or even?

- Odd.

- How'd I know?

Just a minute!

Yeah.

Daniel Sloan?

Yes.

Detective Conroy.

Can I come in? I have a few questions

I want to ask.

What about?

Lt'll only take a minute.

That's odd...

Tick, tick, tick.

Tick, tick, tick.

Danny?

Danny?

Find out who lives here.

Yes, sir.

Danny! What the f***

are you doing here, man?

Half the f***ing planet's

looking for you, man.

The cops were just here.

I told 'em I haven't seen you

since you came to visit me in rehab...

but I don't think

they believed me.

Jesus, they think you're the next

f***in' "Zodiac" or something.

Did anyone see you

when you came in here?

Oh, I don't know.

Man...

all right, well,

why don't you sit down, Danny?

You're really f***ed.

Just sit down here.

I'll get you a beer.

Here, have a cold one.

Yeah, you need to open it, Danny.

You really f***ed up, Danny.

You're just really f***ed.

There was blood everywhere.

She killed them.

Who killed who, Danny?

I tried to wake her up,

but she just won't wake up.

You know, we can't have homeless people

lying around here like a flop house.

You have to pay more attention

to your department.

Hello?

Young lady,

you have to get up.

Maybe she's dead.

She's not dead.

Go get Rudy in sporting goods.

That's just about the craziest f***ing

story I've ever heard in my life...

but there's... a woman involved,

so of course it's true.

I mean, no one will ever accuse you of

having a lack of imagination, Danny...

certainly not in the women

you choose.

You know, it's funny...

as I've been telling you this story

I realized something.

Oh, yeah, what's that?

I love her.

Great.

Of course...

of course you do.

No, no, no.

No, I mean.

I really love her, like I've never loved

anyone else... That's... that's...

that's what been wrong with me.

I think I've always loved her, from...

from the first day I saw her.

Danny, she killed two people

that you know about...

and she tried to kill you.

No. No, she didn't kill anyone.

Volpe killed those people.

Volpe killed the people.

Right.

Well, that's a great story, Danny,

but I don't think you'll have...

- any luck convincing anyone of that.

- No, no. I messed up, I let her down.

I have to help her.

I caused this. This is my fault.

Danny, for once in your f***ing life,

listen to me, okay?

Now, I'm the last person to tell

anyone to go to the police...

but I think you're out of options, man.

You have to go. Danny.

- No.

- Danny, you have to go and tell them...

that you did not kill these people, that

it was "Sleeping f***ing Beauty", man.

No, I can't do that,

I can't betray her. I this is my fault.

Danny, what are we taking

crazy medicine, man?

She'll just fall sleep again.

She's already has a life sentence.

They can't do anything to her.

Then I've got to set her free

from Volpe.

Danny?

Danny, what are you gonna do?

Danny, what are you gonna

f***in' do, man?

Billy, if they...

if they catch me.

I was... I was never here.

You were never involved in this, okay?

Go, fine, go.

I've got a 2-15

on that County kidnapping case.

They positively I.D.'ed the woman

as kidnap victim Laura Baxter.

She's being returned

to County now.

What's my status, over?

Give it another hour,

then return.

Hey, buddy. Excuse me.

Visiting hours are...

- hey, don't I know you?

- Yeah, my grandmother's here.

- Your Grandmother?

- Yeah.

No, not on my floor.

Hey, can I see some I. D?

Yeah.

You wait right here, okay?

Excuse me.

- Can I help you?
