Al, come on. Don't

start that sh*t.

What are you gonna be doing?

I'm gonna hold the fort, buddy.

Okay, do me a favor, I'll get out of here.

You gotta keep me in the loop.

Of course, just go.

Gotta put a tail on that guy.

Done. It's all

done, buddy. Go.

Miss Stewart?

Miss Stewart?

I'm inspector alfonse palermo.

I'm really sorry I startled you.

The state department's

given me permission to

interview you about the disappearance of

ambassador Adams' daughter.

Um.. I'm here

to discuss, um..

You know ambassador Adams?

I mean, it's no secret here in Los Angeles

you had an affair with him.

So you know him.

Yes.

When's the last time you saw the ambassador?

Been a while.

I don't want to insult your intelligence,

but we can pull all the

video feeds from all the

cameras that are in the elevators

and all along the hall.

We know that the ambassador landed an hour

before me last night here in Los Angeles.

So I'm gonna ask you again.

If we're gonna get along

we gotta be honest with

each other and I'm gonna

be straight with you.

You gotta be straight with me, so...

When's the last time you saw the ambassador?

Did you see him last night?

Yes.

It's me.

Baby, what are you doing here?

You didn't call.

You want me to leave?

No, of course not.

No, I don't want you to-

make love to me this time.

That ship has already sailed.

Baby, how about spending the night tonight?

Just this one time?

You know I can't do that.

I got a lot of stuff to take care of.

I gotta see my mother

and I gotta get back to Canada.

I'll give you this..

I love you.

..More than

my hand.

Did he stay over night?

No.

But he came to see you.

Yes.

Do you still have a relationship

going on with him?

No.

So why did he come and see you last night?

Just to say hello?

Yeah, I guess you could say that.

Thank you for seeing me.

Again, I apologize for barging in like this.

Thank you.

Hi.

Um..

My name is, uh,

inspector alfonse palermo from Canada.

I have permission granted

from the state department

to interview

Mrs. Adams on the

disappearance of her

granddaughter in Canada.

Mm hm. I'll

be right back.

Okay, you can keep this,

come on in and stay close to me.

Sure.

Mr. Adams, an

honor and a pleasure

to meet you, sir.

I want to thank you so much for allowing me

in your home.

I'll let you know the dates that are

open for me.

Sit down.

Sit down.

No, I won't, I promise.

No, I'll just tell you

the dates that I do have

and then see if it works for you

and then we'll work a plan.

Yeah, yeah, okay.

Mrs. Adams, I know this

is a difficult situation

but I want to thank you so much to you

and your husband and the state department

for allowing me to interview you here.

I didn't allow you to interview me here.

I was talked into it.

Mrs. Adams, I'm sorry

you feel like that,

but my partner and our CSI group

are in Canada right now

working around the clock.

I'm here just to try to

see if there's anybody

you would think that would have a motive.

No one would have a motive.

Everybody loves my son.

Nobody would hurt

him. Nobody!

I don't have time for this.

I really don't.

Who are you calling, ma'am?

I'm calling the president, that's who.

John?

My granddaughter is missing.

I've been briefed.

And you send me Canadian

bacon who couldn't find

his ass if he had magnifying glasses.

I understand.

We got you elected, John, and we can

get you out of that seat easy.

The Canadians have jurisdiction.

In fact, Mrs. Adams,

the commissioner is

a personal friend of mine.

I need to have the FBI look for my

granddaughter, not guys

parading in red outfits.

You can hear me but you're not listening.

We will support the Canadians

and do everything possible to get

your granddaughter back home and safe.

Yes, Mr. president.

Ask your questions.

Thank you.

Thank you, ma'am.

Um, this girl that claimed that she was

abused and manipulated by your son

and it was in all the papers..

Does she still live in Los Angeles?

Yes.

Is there any truth that your family's paying

for all her expenses?

Who told you that?

Mrs. Adams, you

need to humor me.

Your son has some enemies.

Listen, if you speak about my son one more

time I'm gonna ask you to leave my house.

Everybody loves him.

Nobody would be mean to him.

Ma'am, we're not trying to say anything bad

about your son.

We're just trying to find

out who his enemies are,

who would have

motive to try-

he has no enemies!

You understand what I'm saying?

Stop talking about my son.

It means the same thing in Canada

as it does in the us.

You're out of here,

pal. Let's go.

Let's go..

There ya go.

Not moving fast enough.

Have a good day, sir.

Ryan. It's

George down here.

How ya doing, buddy?

No, I don't want any bacon.

I need a little help.

What I've gotten so far

is that there's a guy up there

that's got expertise with, as you know,

what's going on with my granddaughter.

You did?

Who put him

on a plane? Me?

You? Well, I'm

not paying then.

Hey, buddy, I love you, okay?

I'll let you know when I meet him.

How are you doing?

The senator's expecting you.

Okay.

I'm sorry.

I know I should have called first.

You don't have to call, honey.

Just come home.

Um, sit, please.

Mom, I'm under a lot

of pressure. They're

trying to depict me as some sort of monster.

I'm doing everything I can

to find my daughter, Jenny.

I'm doing everything I can, mom.

I know, darling.

You're a great father and a great son.

Has anybody been here?

Yes,

a whole bunch of people came from Canada

and came to see me.

Mother, I'm gonna need your support in this.

My own wife, Margaret,

has turned against me.

She thinks I had something to do with..

With Jenny's abduction.

I don't know what I'm gonna do, mom.

The world is turning on me here!

You egotistical..

Self-centered,

lying prick.

You disgust me.

Don't you dare give a flying f***

what your father says.

How you doing?

What's up, buddy?

So..

He's capable.

Good. But..?

No but.

He's just, uh, damaged goods.

He lost his wife and daughter

couple of years

ago. An accident.

Got problems.

What kind of

problems? Drugs?

No, drinks.

Well, we all drink, right?

I think..

What?

His job is what's keeping him alive.

To me that's a..

He's an asset.

I know nothing about Canada, you know?

I know they made hockey a law.

Let me stop you here for a sec.

You, I'm interested in what you think.

What do you think about him?

I think we're gonna go with him.

You think?

Yeah.

That's good enough for me.

Senator..

Gentlemen.

Which one of you two is palermo?

You. Your name?

Robert Santos.

Robert, would you mind, um..

Leaving us alone?

No disrespect.

Thank you, my friend.

Sir.

How are you?

Good.

I'm just thinking.

Just thinking.

See, the nice thing about thinking is

you don't have to talk.

So now I've thought about it..

Um, why don't you have a seat.

Thank you, sir.

So how do we start this?
