Motherf***er! That's my house!

That's my house!

That's my wife! That's my wife!

That's my wife!

That's my kid!

You wanna party with Nate?

- F*** you, man!

Do you wanna party with Nate?

- F*** you! F*** you!

Do you wanna party with Nate?

Do you?

Get off him, Nate.

I shall go through this furnace unscathed.

I bit my lip.

Go home, Glenn.

Go home.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Hello.

- You scared me.

What's that word that means...

...for how you hold your mouth

when you're playing?

Embouchure.

Yeah, your embouchure's funny.

Pbbt.

- That's funny.

I'm not doing it. I can't.

Why are you here so late?

I had to take an Algebra II test

that I skipped last week.

How'd you do?

You know, I'm pretty good at math.

Can I show you something?

Where did you take these?

We move a lot,

so every time we get to a new place...

...I like to capture my first impressions.

So these are all here?

Yeah. You must not be very observant.

Not really.

I listen, and I remember things better

that way.

Yeah? I'm not a very good listener.

Hm.

- Do you need a ride?

- No.

- You sure?

- Yeah.

Thanks for letting me see your pictures.

They were really good.

I'll see you.

Hi.

Who's that interesting girl?

- She's new in school.

- New in school?

Yeah, she's nice.

She takes nice pictures.

Lila.

She seems nice.

Yeah.

Mommy?

- Yeah?

- Can I play outside?

Honey, Mommy's not feeling well today.

I wanna go.

Come snuggle with Mommy.

There's cartoons.

Just for ten minutes and then

we can go outside and you can play.

You know that girl you saw me with?

You know she's just a friend, right?

- It's just, she's like a regular person.

- All right.

- That I met, and...

- You met her before you left Mom?

Yeah, technically,

but she works at a bank and...

I mean, it's not a relationship

you should trouble yourself over.

- It doesn't mean anything.

- You had your arm around her.

- Well, it doesn't mean anything.

- Well, then why are you doing it?

Because sometimes we do things

we can't explain.

Tara?

Tara?

Tara?

Tara?

Tara!

Tara!

Sweetie?

Overbrook Assisted Living.

Nate Petite, please.

I'm sorry.

Who are you wishing to speak with?

Nate. I need to talk with him.

It's an emergency.

He's already left his shift for the morning.

Claire?

Tara!

Glenn!

Hello?

Barb? It's Annie.

Are you there?

I need help.

I don't know what else to do.

What happened to you and dude?

Are you guys living together?

Who, David?

- Mm.

- Yep.

- No, I'm straight.

Yeah, we still...

We're living together. It's going pretty good.

Tara! Tara!

Tara!

Annie!

Tara!

Annie!

Annie?

You all right? Oh, God!

Oh, my God.

Listen, the cops are here, all right?

I don't know where Nate is but I know

they're out looking for Glenn, all right?

Oh, gosh. I'm so sorry.

We're all part of a team here.

We work together. We're committed.

- You can't afford to be late.

I know.

It's not all right.

There are a lot of people relying on me.

- They're relying on you.

- I know. I know.

Now, don't give me any of your crap.

I just want you to hear me out.

- Listen to what I gotta say.

Glenn?

Yeah?

- Can I speak to you for a minute?

- Yeah, what's going on?

When's the last time

you saw your daughter?

Your husband's on his way.

Can I get you anything?

Glenn didn't have Tara?

No.

- Then why aren't you looking for her?

We have people out.

We're trying to do everything.

It's mostly dog hairs.

Samples from the truck.

- You get pictures?

- Yes, sir.

What happened to your lip?

I got in a fight the other night.

Yeah, with who?

My wife's new boyfriend.

- Jesus Christ, Glenn.

I don't know why you think...

...he has anything to do with this.

Livvie.

No, it's my house.

You should be talking to her.

She won't even let him

see his own daughter.

That's what he says.

- Well, doesn't that tell you something?

Okay, what's going on?

What now? What, what now?

Are we gonna sit down

and have a little dinner? What's happening?

I'll take you to join the search

after we're done here.

I gotta piss like a racehorse.

Can I go to the bathroom?

You're capable. You could do it.

Do what?

Take her. Take her from her mother.

I would never hurt Tara.

I didn't say you'd hurt her.

- I didn't do anything!

I didn't do anything, okay?

I didn't do anything.

I hope that's right.

Come here.

Let me have your hand for a sec.

"Hey, you. "

With a exclamation point.

Hey, you.

So why are you smiling?

I've never seen you without your glasses.

Yeah. Because I think

I look funny without them.

You know what else I think?

I think I like you.

And I think you like me too.

And you're just afraid to say it.

At least, I want you to like me,

because...

Huh? What's that?

When you smile, I think it's attractive.

And I'm totally not even sure

what I'm saying anymore right now.

Why?

Don't leave.

I'm nice, aren't I?

I'm really nice, actually.

And I like you so much,

and I made it so clear...

...and I just have so much fun

when we hang out.

I just, like, I couldn't tell.

I did say that I liked you.

- What?

- See?

What?

Do you have any idea

how adorably cute you are?

- No.

- Right now.

Come here.

No, you come here.

Come here.

No.

Meet halfway.

Students,

can I have your attention, please?

We are concluding school early today,

so that as of this moment...

...we may assist the community

in a local situation.

I can't imagine what you're going through.

I have a daughter myself and...

Get your f***ing hands off me.

Easy.

You don't have her?

I don't have her.

Where's your boyfriend?

I don't know.

What's going on?

- Where have you been?

- I was at work.

No, you weren't.

I'm just gonna use the restroom.

All right, listen up, people.

Come on, now. Take a seat.

We got a little girl missing.

She's been out there now for somewhere

between two and three hours.

What we're gonna do is,

we're gonna partner up.

And I want you to keep

your partner in sight...

...as we search the area

within a four-mile radius.

The little girl's name is Tara.

She's 4 years old.

Let's get out there

and let's bring her home safe.

That's Annie's daughter.

We're looking for a little girl.

Four years old.

Brown eyes, brown hair, brown eyes.

If you find something you believe

to be important, do not touch it.

We will send the appropriate person

to take a look at it.

We have people here trained

to deal with the situation.

Thank you for your cooperation.

All right, don't lie.

You were making love to Lily La-La-Lupe.

Whatever her name is.

You were under the bleachers.

You were naked. I saw it.

Don't lie.

We're supposed to look

from here to the highway fence.

Well, she wouldn't be down here.

Tara!

She probably just fell asleep

under her bed.

I did that.

Hey, you got any weed?

Yeah.

- All right.

F***.

Here's cool.

This beats the sh*t out of band practice.

I'm feeling very positive.

This is some good sh*t.

This is f***ed up.

Say something if you see the cops.
