their bones

scattered all over

these fields.

This isn't a registrant.

Yeah, the daughter disappeared

from a college campus

six years ago.

I always suspected

Paul and Viola.

Don't tell them

I got fired.

Errol's visits

are difficult for me,

but Ann seems to find

some comfort in them.

I'm grateful to him

for that.

That's her.

That's Abigail.

- She's pretty.

- Mm-hmm.

We don't know

what happened.

Errol's the only one who promised

we would one day.

That we'd know.

The only one.

Why are we staying here?

We're just a couple hours from home.

We're not going home.

I have a little light

reading for you.

Oh, and if I didn't

already tell you,

always remember

to carry a fresh shirt.

Very important.

Oh!

Welcome.

I'll have the nacho rapists,

the buffalo wing rapists...

the molesters of fried

mozzarella with some...

rib fetishists.

I circled them all for you.

- Hey, here's to Errol!

- To Errol!

Where is Errol, by the way?

Where'd you go

last night?

Did you look

in that book I gave you?

Yes.

Good, because I want you

to always remember

people like Paul and Viola

Gerard don't just tell lies,

they are lies.

In public, they're decent,

socially-responsible folk

who look you in the eye,

but never long enough

to make you uncomfortable.

They shake your hand,

pat you on the back,

but never overdo it.

They're Christian if you are,

they swear if you do,

and they do this because

people like you

wrongly believe

that public presentation

tells us all about

private lives.

It tells us nothing.

It hides everything.

And what about you,

Mr. Babbage?

Tell me about

your double life.

What do you think about?

I think about a girl

who didn't come home,

what I might have missed,

and if I miss something again,

who's next?

That's a good boy.

Bye, Harriet. See you tomorrow.

See ya.

This next

registrant's a fellow

by the name

of Glenn Custis.

He's turned his

perversions into a business.

He's a pornographer...

movies, magazines.

He also runs

a little dominion.

- What's a dominion?

- You'll see.

Why don't you look down that way?

I'll go this way.

Hey.

I'm okay.

Do you know where Glenn...

I'm looking

for Glenn Custis.

Yeah! Mmm...

Rasputin here

says Custis is out.

Glenn, this guy's

looking for you.

Glenn?

I'm not Glenn.

Nice hands.

Nice fingers.

- You're white.

- Let go.

Let go, let go.

Hey hey hey hey hey,

look at me.

Look at me, look at me, look at me.

You know who this is?

This is one of

Custis's girls.

That's right, one of

Glenn's girl... Look at me.

Just look at me.

Look in my eyes.

Tell Custis

I'm looking for him.

F***.

So you're not seeing anyone,

I mean anyone

who stayed.

What did I tell you about

the personal stuff?

Okay.

Whatever.

It's just that l...

I didn't see a spare toothbrush

or a man's razor, so...

But I did see a large

pea coat hanging there.

Shiny elbows and

missing buttons, so...

A smoker. It's not exactly

your style, I don't think.

But I guess it suited

your needs for the time.

Do you ever just have

a normal conversation?

This is normal

conversation.

No, I mean,

"Hey... hey, how are you?

Nice weather, huh?

Hey, thanks for the drink."

You don't talk,

you pump.

The fire has consumed over 1700 acres

and 14 houses.

In other news, police

are investigating

the disappearance

of Harriet Wells.

The 17-year-old is believed

to have been abducted

in the Paradise Hills area

sometime yesterday.

Harriet's parents made

a plea in help

tracing their daughter's

whereabouts.

We just want

our daughter to come home.

We want her to come back.

She's our everything,

our whole life.

If anyone knows

where she is,

please just help me

bring my baby home.

Police have no suspects

at this time.

If you have any

information...

It's one of my flock.

I know it. I missed something.

- Errol, slow down.

- Are you watching this?

- Yeah, I just turned it on.

- I'm not gonna go out like this.

I'm not gonna have

a mista...

God damn it.

- Are you okay?

- No.

No. No, I'm not okay.

I'm not okay.

Errol, you can't

take this personally.

You take this stuff

personally!

I've been on this job 18 years.

You haven't even f***ing started.

You haven't even started.

...may have been the last to see her.

While friends and family

continue their own search efforts... #

Harriet's parents

made a plea today

for help in tracing

their daughter's whereabouts,

but, investigators say,

false tips continue

to complicate

the investigation.

Sorry about

the phone call.

Department

of Public Safety.

All right,

come with me.

Can you wait here,

please?

- Officer in charge?

- Yes.

Can I talk to you a second?

Something I want to show you...

Babbage, we're on it.

There are over 40 registered

sexual offenders...

- I know.

...within two miles of here.

I know.

We're handling it.

...responding to the possible 211.

2110 Emerson.

Just hope and pray.

You're right, you're right.

You can take off, okay?

Sure, okay.

I don't know what else to do.

What'd they say?

They're gonna

give me a medal.

- Really?

- Yeah, it's in the mail.

- Have a nice day.

- Thank you.

Did you see who was...

was sitting there?

The newspaper...

left it there?

I don't think there was

anybody sitting there.

All right.

- Did you put this here?

- No.

Someone left this here.

They left it for me.

How do you know

somebody left it for you?

Look at it... it's circled.

It's folded just like me.

Everything's the same.

Look. Don't don't don't

don't... don't touch.

This is the one

I bought.

See that?

Each of those

are offenders.

Red ones committed violent sexual acts

against teenage girls

or young women.

We'll start with

the registrants

that are closest

to the missing girl.

It could take weeks to

track down all these people.

Someone I know has her.

Someone who knows me.

Someone on

my registry.

Did she meet

a boy here?

A friend?

Was someone waiting

for her here?

Did someone see?

Between 4:
00, 4:30,

you're the only engine on that track?

Yeah.

Car was white...

light color, anyways.

Newish.

Sh*t, maybe even Jap.

She was talking to somebody

in the car, but hell,

looked like she was just

trying to catch a ride.

Did you see him?

Did you see the driver?

- The guy she was talking to?

- Nah, we didn't see anyone.

There was a glare

on the windshield.

But you got it wrong.

She wasn't talking to the driver.

She was talking to someone

in the passenger seat.

Harriet talks to someone

on the passenger side.

That means we're

looking for a team.

Could be an old team,

could be a brand-new team.

Teams are glued together

by common sexual appetites

and fetishes.

So you hit the files.

I'll hit the phones.

I'll see who's quit a job,

changed their patterns.

I'll listen to their voices.

Hello?

You're looking for abductors,

rape or assault charges.

Any perps with victims

or MOs that match,

you red-flag it,

give it to me.
