You got two guys with priors.

It goes right to them.

Our beat is Texas City.

I don't want to be here.

You don't belong here.

What if this is the girl we heard?

She was down and bound

here in this place.

And somebody took the time

to pick up their cell phone

and dial a number.

You know whose f***ing number

they dialed, Mike?

That was yours and mine.

We're in there the other night

and there's no women there

and it's just dudes,

and they're all from North Carolina.

How'd you know they all

from North Carolina?

Well, they know Sparta,

Winston-Salem, Boone.

So anyway, there's no women there.

So I said, "Let's play cricket."

Cricket?

Ain't no cricket in North Carolina.

Oh, yes, they is.

Cricket's a game they play

in England.

You gotta be rich or a fag to play it.

I'm talkin' crickets and darts, man.

Come on.

Then you should have said "darts."

You know what I mean, though--

you gotta cancel out the 20s;

you cancel out the 19s;

you cancel out the 18s.

So, anyway, we're waiting

on them whores, and Brett-

Don't say "whores"

in front of your little sister.

They don't come inside

till around 11:
00,

after the last shift.

You know, it's none of your business

what I say in front of my little sister.

Hey. hey!

Hey!

How about I choke

your f***in' lights out? Huh?

You dumb little bastard.

Should I get out and get her?

Nah. She's just gonna run on you.

# Twinkle, twinkle, little star,

how I wonder where you are #

# Up above the world so high,

like a diamond in the sky #

# Twinkle, twinkle, little star... #

What does he want?

You're not back working the streets,

are you, Lady Worm?

I gave that up a long time ago,

Officer Cracker.

- So you're an upstanding citizen?

- Mm-hmm, that's right.

All right.

Then, uh...

you wouldn't mind

telling me about the white guy

with the green Pontiac.

- You got a warrant?

- Just open the damn door.

It's none of your

damn business what's in here

No plates on this.

White guy took them off,

then parked it here.

Uh-huh.

- And how long has it been here?

- Two days.

. Is he paving yo"?

- No.

- No?

- You stupid? I said no.

I ain't crazy.

I ain't asking him for no money.

'Cause I don't want to have to

run you in as an accessory.

Detective, you wouldn't

be talking to me that way

if we was in a white neighborhood.

Why do you say that?

It means I don't see you

living on my street after work.

And you damn sure ain't gonna

let me sleep where you live.

Go sit on the curb

and don't go nowhere.

- This all for the Laine girl?

- Yeah.

Where are we headed?

Poachers' bar, near the fields.

Don't touch that.

Let me get it.

Might be.

Need to thaw it out.

Missing a ring finger?

All right, here.

I'm gonna need gas and restaurant

receipts for the last four days.

Did I say something funny?

Come on, darling.

Why don't you introduce us

to the boys who found the hand?

I tried.

I'm Detective Heigh,

Texas City Police Department.

Which one of you found the hand?

[EH

What about you?

I wasn't there.

What's your name?

Frank.

All right, Frank.

I'm gonna need that ring back.

What ring?

I'm gonna need that ring back.

So, is this the gratitude we get

for giving you guys a hand?

Hey!

Stop it! Down!

Get the f*** down!

Get down!

Get the f*** down!

Bri, we're good.

Bri!

Enough!

Bri, stop.

Brian, enough!

Brian!

Enough!

Brian!

Where'd you find it?

I'm gonna get a map,

and you're gonna show me

goddamn exactly where it is.

- I ain't seen you in years, boy.

- Mm-hmm.

You're an important person now, huh?

You used to come over here

a lot with your daddy.

Oh, yeah, I remember

when he made me hang around

while-- while you and the rest

of the bums- remember?

You just drank

as much alcohol as y'all could

and then--

and then y'all would vomit

all over each other.

- Sh*t, you remember that night?

- Yeah.

First guy pukes, and then all the rest

go at the same time,

- all over that damn card game.

- Mm-hmm.

You got to drive 'em home, though.

You was, what?

Yeah, I was 11.

Next time you don't answer

my partner's questions,

I'm gonna take

your peace officer's license

and I'm gonna shove it

up your ass.

You say hi to Nancy for me.

- Will these do?

- Yeah.

So, Levon and Rule

stashed the car

in Lady Worm's garage.

There's blood spatters.

There's a potential murder weapon.

It's the works.

The DNA's a match for Debbie Mills.

The judge issued warrants.

We'll pick 'em up on site.

Yeah.

You know--

you know,

I wish I'd seen all this.

What were you thinking?

Huh? Were you thinking,

"I'm a big New York gorilla"?

- Thinking, "I'm a big tough guy..."

- Go away, Mike.

"...Getting all tough

on those small-town fish"?

Was I talking to you?

Go on.

You don't know how close

to the edge you are.

You belong with Levon and Rule

in Texas City with me.

You don't know

where you are right here.

This place- this place

is nothing but chaos.

Your God don't even come here.

You don't know

where you are right here.

I know exactly where I am.

See the red?

That's the first call to 911

from that woman Lila.

The assailant's

the background voice

Now, the blue--

that's the call that came in later

on your office phone.

See? They match.

All right, where'd the second call

come from?

- The fields.

- Yeah.

And he's using a cell-

someone else's.

A-- someone called...

Kirsten Laine.

He's using her cell.

He wants us to know

he can use her cell.

All right, how much coverage

can you get on this number?

I need your help.

I need you to get me up

on that girl's cell phone, okay?

She got caught trying to sell

a driver's license at school.

Had your card on her.

Can't you just go home and watch TV

like other kids? Can you do that?

- Yeah.

- Then get out of here. Go do it.

Look, what did I do? Huh?

What did I do?

You know you're never alone?

There's always someone

looking out for you.

Now, who's that, hmm? God?

Now, you see,

God's too busy for me.

I figured it out.

Everybody's always, you know,

busting his balls all the time-

you know, "Give me this.

I want that."

He ain't got time for little people.

Not me.

Is that what you think?

You all right?

Yeah.

Why don't you run in

and get some of that

milk of magnesia stuff?

Here, let me give you some money.

I'm gonna stay here

and make a phone call, okay?

- Yeah.

- I'll be waiting for you.

Jim, it's Brian.

Jim, no, I just want to know

when the line is up.

All right. Will you let me know

as soon as you are?

Pam, ifs Brian.

You get any prints

off what we found?

All right. All right, bye.

Excuse me.

A little girl just came in here.

- Did you see her?

- I don't know.

- I heard some kids fighting.

- Anne?

Might be in the bathroom

in the back.

Anne?

- Your security cameras up?

- Haven't worked in weeks.

Anne?

Anne!

at a Jim's Convenience Store.

Will you send some cars?

Base to 7-Ida-07.

Go ahead, base.

We can't raise 06.
