The Dead Girl Page #3

I gotta go.

If he shows up there,

you call me, okay?

I'd appreciate it, okay?

'Cause I can't go

through this anymore.

Can I help you?

Hi. We're looking

for storage space.

The office says

it's supposed to be open

but there's nobody there.

Jim's not there?

(man No. 1)

Uh, nobody's there.

Well, I don't have

anything to do with it.

It's my husband's job.

Is he around, maybe?

Come on.

(female voice)

One message.

Message one.

Carl, it's Jim.

I can't come in today.

I really--

Message erased.

End of messages.

[beeps]

Y eah?

Somebody's stuff

is in there.

Nope, it's listed

as an empty.

Uhh, it's not.

Well, somebody

made a mistake.

Maybe you can just

give us another space.

It's not supposed

to have power.

Yeah, well--

It's supposed

to be empty.

They keep a list.

(Man No. 1)

So, are we

moving this?

Uh-uh.

I'll get you

another space.

(male voice on TV)

It's better than

(female voice on TV)

The Buggy Beamer Roach Trap

But in this

special offer,

[louder]

we'll give two

Buggy Beamers

for the low, low price

of only $ 19. 95.

And if

you call now,

we'll include two extra

plus two extra cartridges.

A $ 1 10 value

plus shipping

and handling.

[male voice, indistinct,

on TV]

(male voice on TV)

What we were trying to do

is find out if there was

anything that we failed

to accomplish in

our investigation.

We have a pattern

that we feel that, uh,

identifies this individual.

So we're missing

one link.

Smith thinks he knows

someone who can find

that missing link.

I should guess that

Nancy was available.

In a case like this,

she can give us

some assistance.

Uh, could open

another door

for us.

I think it's worth

a shot.

Would you contact

her for us?

(male voice No. 2)

That'd be

no problem.

We got the five

all torn up again.

I don't know

when they're ever

gonna finish that thing.

It's been

more than a year.

What happened

to your neck?

Some guy in a bar,

tried to pick a fight.

You got

in a fight?

I'm done with it.

Leaving me here

to rot while you're

out doing

Mike only knows

what perverted thing

with Mike only knows

what kind of slutty

gutter trash!

Come home

all scratched up.

You think

I don't know

what goes on?

I've got my niece

in Tula vista.

She says Steve

and the kids would be

happy to have me.

Then you'll see

what it's like

when you have no one

to come home to.

When you manage

to drag yourself back

to this "h" hole.

I'm sorry.

So you went

to a bar.

Well, mostly

I just drove around.

Went to see Ray.

I called Ray.

He hadn't seen you!

Well, when you called,

I hadn't gotten there yet.

Were you visiting

prostitutes again?

No!

I'm not sticking by you

this time if the cops

come sniffing around.

I'm done with that filth.

Ya hear me?

I'm done with it!

You've been sniffing

around prostitutes,

wettin' your little noodle.

Oh, shut up!

You don't like it

when I talk dirty,

but what do you do?

Huh?

Sticking your thing

in anything that moves.

Mind your

own business!

You stop leaving me

here to mind yours

and I will!

- I see the scratches

on you!

- [door slams]

I know what

you do!

(male voice)

A beautiful blue

Tanzanite Diamond ring.

Thank you.

Do you know anything

about those dead girls?

No.

[light snoring]

(female voice)

Well, it would have

been about, uh,

nineteen,

ninety-three, I think, it was,

no, that's not right. Um,

she was 1 6,

she left home,

when she was 1 6.

And that was

the last time--

I wrote to her

and I left messages.

When I had

a number.

She was very angry.

She made it

perfectly clear

she didn't want me

or her stepfather

involved in her life.

Did you know

that she relocated

to Los Angeles?

I thought she might--

go to Hollywood.

She always spoke

about wanting to be

on Tv when

she was little.

But you don't expect--

and they're just

dreams a child has.

All right,

just hang in

for a minute?

Oh.

Oh.

(police officer)

You gonna be around town

for another day?

I was going

to drive home--

tomorrow but

if you need me--

Anything else we need,

we can probably take

care of it over the phone.

Okay.

Okay.

I--I was wondering

if, um,

if--if Krista Kutcher

lived here.

She did.

I was hoping

I could see

her room.

Somebody's in there.

See the girl over there

on the phone?

If she wants

to show it to you,

by my guest.

(girl in booth, weeping)

T ommy, just come

and get me.

Who the f***

was that?

Go f***

yourself, T ommy!

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Do I know you?

I'm sorry,

I just wanted, l--

I spoke to the woman

inside the office.

I was wondering

if I could see

your room.

[clears throat]

Did you know the girl

who used to live here?

Yeah, I knew her.

Were you friends?

We lived together.

It was a nice picture.

Yeah, she liked

that one.

What kind of things

do they make you do?

What?

The men

who pay you.

You're asking me

what I do

on a date?

When you get paid.

Yeah, that's a date.

I don't know,

whatever they want.

Head, usually.

How much

do they pay you?

You a reporter?

You want to do

a story on me?

Let's see,

my mom's dead.

She was a junkie.

She got shot

in the head

in a parking lot.

My dad,

I never knew him.

I grew up in East L.A.

Now I suck off

a**holes for cash.

What do you think about that?

I think it's sad.

Yeah, well--

Did Krista ever tell you

where she came from?

A la--wa Washington,

some f***ing place,

I don't remember.

Did she tell you

why she ran away?

She probably

wasn't happy.

Did she tell

you why?

Other than her stepfather

sticking his dick in her,

I don't think so.

She probably thought

"F*** it, I might

as well get paid. "

F***ing mother

was too much

of a dishrag

to do anything about it,

you know, typical.

The husband or the kids,

they always choose

the husband.

Did she tell you that?

What?

That her mother

knew and--

chose him?

She probably

liked it, right?

It took some

of the load off.

Like having

one of your kids

help with the laundry.

You're her mom?

I didn't know.

Okay.

I had no idea.

Well now you know.

This has been really fun

and all but I gotta

get to work.

Maybe I can take

you to lunch.

I don't think so.

I'll pay you.

(hooker)

One time Krista

went totally straight.

No drugs,

no hooking,

she got a job

at a nail salon.

She was like

a f***ing Mormon.

All she talked about

was how she wanted

to get her sh*t together

so that she could bring

her kid to live with us.

And then, Del said

that she would have

to pay extra

so Krista had three jobs

and she was working,

she was doing more drugs

than ever because she

wanted to stay awake.

So she wound up getting

nail polish on this

white lady's wedding ring.

I'm sorry,

Krista had a child?

Yeah, so then

she gets fired

from this nail place.

and she goes on

this f***ed up drug mix
