Great tune. That was
a request from my mom...
back in England.
And this is
Richard Blade on KSLM.
Let's go to the phones again
here on the Blade Line.
Give us a call with
your personal problems...
predictions,
and political beefs.
Hello. You're on the air.
We'll get back to you.
Now, let's go to our
next caller here at KSLM.
Hello. You're on the air.
lt's Cletus, man.
l'm in trouble again.
Oh, no. Not you, Cletus.
What's wrong now?
Man, l'm in the county jail.
So, what happened, Cletus?
There was this
chick, all right?
She was unbelievable.
She was on
the corner of Sunset.
So, what is it
you need, Cletus?
Give me some advice, Blade.
l need someone to get me out of
here, man.
Cletus, you're a lucky man...
because l got this friend
who plays a mean guitar...
and he's studying law,
and right now...
he's in county jail.
So, look for Pete. Cell 47.
He can get anyone out.
Wait. What's his name?
l'm sorry, Cletus.
We're out of time.
This is my only call, man.
Next caller, please.
Hello. You're on the air.
Hello.
l'm not the suspicious type...
Hold it, hold it.
This isn't me.
Did l fool you?
This is an answering machine.
Pretty nifty, huh?
So, if you wait for the tone...
l'll be happy to
pass it along to Drood...
whenever he comes home
or wakes up...
or whatever he does.
Are you ready?
Drood, pick up the phone.
l know you're there.
Pick up the phone, Drood!
Sh*t!
Helen--
Look, how many times
do l ask you to do me a favor?
l'm out the door.
No, no. Forget it.
Forget it.
l took her to school already.
Jeez. Listen,
l was up all night.
l don't even want
to hear about this.
This is exactly
the kind of thing...
l talked to you about.
l know!
And l was late.
l don't know what
to say. l gotta go.
Helen, l--
Hello.
Drood, this is Wilson.
Where is ''Drood's World?''
Hold it. This isn't me.
lt's my answering machine.
Sh*t.
Did l fool you?
Drood is unable to come
but if you'd
like to leave...
a nice little message...
just wait for the tone.
lt's deadline time.
Pick up the phone.
l've got better things to do...
all the time.
Drood?
Drood, if it isn't in my
hands by 4:
00, you're fired.A**hole.
Aye-yi-yi-yi-yi!
Hi.
You sold it?
l can't believe it.
You sold it?
You're very hot
in certain circles...
right now, young man,
thanks to me.
Jimbo...
this is $500!
Stop!
This is a silk shirt.
And a great tie.
Who?
-Look, a guy--
-Who?
The guy was
real tasteful, OK?
He had dark glasses
and a white stick.
What do you care?
l sold it, didn't l?
Hey, Bean!
Hi, Daddy.
Hi, baby.
Listen, l'm sorry
about this morning.
Are you taking me
to your house?
No, honey. l just
stopped by to say hello.
Listen, what were you
doing over there?
Beating up a boy!
Feel my muscle.
Let's see.
That is excellent.
Hello.
May l help you?
l was just saying
hello to the kid.
l'm her father.
My name's Charles Drood.
We haven't met.
l'm Margaret Bell,
Elizabeth's teacher.
Who?
Oh, Elizabeth. Right.
We call her Bean.
Drood, show her your teeth.
You must be new here.
Do the teeth thing,
Daddy, please.
Oh, honey, l don't
think Miss Bell...
really wants
to be bothered.
Missus.
Mrs. Bell.
And actually, l'd like
to see this teeth thing.
l lost them
in a fight.
Your back teeth?
Daddy likes
to tell stories.
Mommy says he tells
stories all the time.
Blade Line. Let's go
to our next call.
Hello.
You're on the air.
You got to help me!
l'm calling you from a pit
where my house used to be.
Um, excuse me.
What's your name, sir?
My name's Ethan,
and you got to help me.
This UFO-thing, looked
like a big Buick hubcap...
come down, sucked up
my furniture with--
l don't know, some sort
of a hose or something.
Sucked up everything.
l went to get
the bowling trophies...
you know, it's
important to me...
to get my bowling trophies...
and, you're not gonna
believe it...
l come back, my family was gone.
What?
Bad move, Ethan.
Hi, Drood!
Oh, my God!
Drood!
That didn't hurt.
Arrest that kid.
Would you grow up?
Children, please!
How do you do it?
Do what?
Well, you walk in
and everything falls apart.
Helen, l got hit in the nuts...
with a f***ing rubber chicken.
Right, laugh.
l'm sorry.
l got to sit down.
Oh, come on.
What are you doing here, Drood?
l just...
l, l, l...
Helen, what do you think...
about you and l
getting back together?
Yes, l need--
l need a hand here.
So, which hand
would you like, sir?
Listen, don't fool around.
l'm trying to make a chicken.
So, you're--you're
into chickens?
-No. No.
-Oh, you're cooking? l'm sorry.
ls this chicken fully dressed?
l don't know, feathers
count as a dre--
God!
Mr. Drood?
My card.
Come here.
Come here.
Come here!
lt's OK.
Where is it,
Mr. Drood?
Where's what?
You got to tell us.
OK? OK?
l don't know what
you're talking about.
Where is it?
You got the wrong guy, here.
She gave you something.
-Who?
-Who?
Ha, who?
F*** this!
Let me get
back there!
Be just a few minutes,
Mr. Drood.
Thank you.
Anybody tell you to move?
l'm not--
Sit over here!
Look, l think--
Listen, l am not
supposed to be--
No one is.
Look, l...
You are making
a big mistake!
l'm going to kill
every f***in' guy in here.
You f***ed my wife?
What's her name?
Oh, no.
No! No!
Hold it!
Wait a second!
Hey! Hey!
Hey, which one of you guys
is Charles Drood?
l am.
So, you never saw either one of
these men before?
Nope.
And if you saw them again...
do you think you could
identify them?
Yeah, maybe.
Listen,
l don't know.
They didn't take
anything, right?
Nope. Nothing.
And you don't know
what they were after?
That it?
Not quite, Mr. Drood.
You see, your kidnapping
may be connected...
to a case that we're
investigating here...
in which you may be
considered a suspect.
A suspect for what?
Well, l have
to advise you that...
you have a right
to remain silent...
and have the services
of a lawyer...
but if you haven't done
anything wrong...
you've got nothing
to worry about...
and l can get you out of here...
a hell of a lot sooner.
l don't need a lawyer.
All right.
What can you tell me
about a girl named...
Yolanda Caldwell?
Nothing.
Nothing!
They just found her
body today, Mr. Drood.
You're supposed to say
you love me now.
''l would characterize
the relationship...
''as primarily sexual as l knew--
''as l never knew very much
about her private life...
''outside of our relationship--
''her marital status,
place of birth...
friends, et cetera''?
Right.
Weren't you curious?
She wouldn't tell me.
''The last time l saw her...
we had agreed
to go away together.''
No, l--l--l said that
l would meet her there. l...
l didn't exactly say
that l would go away with her.
''l never went to the station.''
Well, why not?
l don't know.
l didn't go!
l've got a wife.
l've got a kid!
l just didn't go, OK?
