Mr. Gibb,
name's Dick Moon.
That handsome devil there
is my partner Karl.
He's a lover,
not a talker.
Everything's gonna be fine, Ron.
Just take a seat.
Damn, you got some hot girls
in this school.
You want to tell me what you did
with Allyson Palmer?
What do you mean?
Seems she's disappeared.
What?
Several eyewitnesses say she
got into your truck yesterday.
Last time anyone saw her
at all...
except you,
of course.
She lost her ride,
and I gave her a lift home.
And then?
She got out of the car
and went into her house.
Is it customary for you
to chauffeur around
your students, sir?
The administration
does frown on it.
Sometimes...
a teacher...
needs to be a friend too.
But I'm just as concerned
for her safety as you are.
Thank you
for your time.
We'll be talking with you again
real soon.
Search and rescue
efforts have officially begun
as local high school
cheerleader
Ally Palmer is missing.
Father Phil Palmer
of Palmer Dodge
told police Ally never came home
after school.
Police are asking if anyone
has any information
about Ally's whereabouts
to call the local hotline
on-screen below.
Hello?
Hello.
I want to apologize
for the other night.
I'm usually not--
I got a motto.
Never complain
and never explain.
Water under the bridge.
Did you just start?
I mean, I haven't
seen you around.
December, last--
first week after Christmas.
Well--
Have a good day, Mr. Gibb.
Thanks. You too.
With 24 hours having passed
since Ally Palmer's
disappearance,
authorities
are now treating this case
as a possible kidnapping.
We now go live
to the missing girl's father,
Phil Palmer.
Well, now it is my turn
to come to you,
my loyal neighbors,
and ask for your help.
My beautiful daughter Allyson,
my little angel,
is missing,
the victim
of a heinous kidnapping.
That's right,
taken from me on purpose.
I've asked myself 100 times,
"Who could do such a thing?
"What unspeakable evil
lurks in our midst?"
Any. baby,
I want you to know
Daddy loves you,
and I'm gonna get you back.
Friends, neighbors, help me.
These are dangerous times
that we live in.
But I believe
that life must go on.
And here at Palmer Auto,
it will.
We are slashing prices
on the entire inventory,
every car,
every truck on the lot on sale,
priced to move,
until Ally is returned to us
safe and sound.
You heard right.
I am passing the savings
along to you,
Mr. and Mrs. John Q. Public.
So come on down
to Palmer Auto
and show Ally--
no, show the World
how much you care.
It only takes a moment to snap,
to see an opportunity.
History has always
treated men of this sort
with an incredible mixture
of admiration and revulsion.
As a student of history,
more and more as I see it
happening before my own eyes,
it's become harder and harder
for me to sit on the sidelines
and just watch.
Bastard!
All right, easy there, cowboy.
What the hell's
the matter with you?
Using her like that.
I don't know what you're saying.
You better drop that frying pan
and get the f*** away
from my house.
You're using her misfortune
as a marketing ploy?
It's how I cope.
Now, drop the frying pan!
Drop it, I Say!
I don't want your truck anymore.
Take it back.
Why?
What's the matter with it?
You know, buyer beware applies
in all automotive transactions,
mister.
If anything
bad happens to her,
it's gonna be your fault,
you hear me?
I'm gonna need
that pink slip back!
That man is
a self-serving monster.
Could be.
Fortunately, he's got an alibi
for the night in question.
What's yours?
I was at home.
Alone, right?
It makes me sick to think
of someone hurting that girl.
Would you please go
and find her?
That is the plan.
There's something
I'm curious about.
Smart fellow like you
stuck in a town like this.
It's almost like
you're hiding out or something.
Is that a question
or a statement?
You paid cash for that truck,
but your bank records show
no recent large withdrawals.
I don't like banks.
Karl prefers credit unions.
Where'd the money
come from, Gibb?
My savings.
That's a lot of savings.
It's insurance money.
Insurance money?
There was a car accident.
My wife died.
What does this have to do
with Ally Palmer?
You tell me.
Her father's
not pressing charges,
so you're free to go,
just not too far.
Yo, Mr. Gibb.
I heard about
what you did.
Awesome!
Mr. Palmer is
a major dick sometimes.
Guy hates my guts.
He was gonna give me cash
to stop dating Ally.
He said that?
Well, he offered me
a new transmission, actually.
Didn't you and Ally
break up?
Who told you that?
Ally.
Nah, we break up
all the time.
See, she's all about
the makeup sex.
The girl's an animal.
Good night, Brett.
Wait, hang on.
Do you think someone
actually took her?
It looks that way.
Hey, you okay?
You don't look so good.
You want a ride home?
Administration frowns on it.
Well, okay.
Hey, thanks for the talk,
Mr. Gibb.
Now I feel
a lot better.
Um, let's go around to the back.
Pervert.
Disgraceful.
Shame on you.
Ronnie...
we got to talk.
Nice.
Now, that is one
sweet little cupcake.
Hey.
I'm dying to know, Ronnie.
What flavor's her frosting?
Amber Jinxs?
Where is she?
Where's Amber?
Amber?
I know you're in here.
Freeze!
I want you all to hear this.
Why did you print
that picture?
You took something innocent
and turned it into pornography.
Kind of like
Young, Blonde, and Ready?
You should have come to me first
and given me a chance
to explain.
A man has a right
to defend himself.
You're a dirty old man,
Mr. Gibb.
Probably
a kidnapper too.
Girls, get to class now.
Amber, you too.
You're going
to pay for that.
Now.
This craziness,
it's disruptive.
Just tell me.
Am I fired?
The board is concerned
about the students.
Your presence
is upsetting everyone.
I have to suspend you,
give it some time
to pass.
Time to pass.
A girl is missing.
Is the board concerned
about that?
The police are doing
everything they can.
Unfortunately, you're the one
who looks the most suspicious,
and frankly,
I can understand why.
I admit...
I had a crush on her,
a completely inappropriate
but innocent crush.
What were you thinking?
It's been over three days
since local high school
cheerleader Ally Palmer
went missing.
Volunteers are coming out
in full force
in hopes of finding
any evidence
to bring this little girl home
safe and sound.
Police knocked on doors looking
for any clues or witnesses
in connection with this case.
Sage mist metallic...
Ally's favorite color.
We'll take it.
God bless you both.
Mr. Palmer.
Gentlemen.
Looks like the sale
is going well.
Yeah, well, it's a good
distraction, you know.
Where's my Ally?
Can we have a word,
please?
Come on in.
Have a seat.
Don't touch the cat.
Took her down
with a .30-06.
Two shots to bag
that one.
Tiff, be a hon.
Three scotches.
Now, again,
