The Red Maple Leaf Page #6

Come with me.

Sorry, I didn't mean to embarrass you.

Oh, no. Please.

Your son in law is here.

Send him in.

Dad, you wanted to see me?

Take a seat.

Please have a seat.

Thank you.

Thank you for joining

me on such short notice,

special agent.

Should I call you special agent?

Just call me alfonse.

Or maybe Alfie?

Alfonse is fine, please.

Do you drink wine?

Yes, I do, actually.

I have a wonderful brunello

I've ordered for us.

Salud.

Hopefully everything works out for you.

Thank you.

So what did you want to talk about?

Let's order something first.

You know what?

To be honest with you,

um, I'm not that hungry.

So what did you want to

talk about, Mrs. Adams?

I saw something in your eyes..

Something familiar.

Probably, uh,

in a way can kind of relate to.

I just want to know if my daughter's

going to be okay.

We're doing our best.

I guess I just sometimes

get lonely, you know.

I know how you feel.

My husband's always traveling and, you know,

he's always.. He's

just busy working.

I just saw something in your eyes.

Mrs. Adams, I came here

because I thought you

wanted to talk about the situation..

Yes, of course, of course.

..With your daughter.

But I really don't understand your, um..

Line of questioning.

I guess I just wanted company.

That's great.

We don't have to do this if you don't..

Feel comfortable.

I'm really not comfortable.

I mean.. I'm

not comfortable.

I came here to talk about the case.

Are there any further details,

or is there any more information?

Any more leads?

Actually, um.. Today

was a good day.

We had surveillance

video on-

actually, I don't think

I want to talk about it.

I don't know what I want.

I'm just really confused right now.

Well, if you really want

to help us, and I'm sure

you do.. Anything

that you can think of.

Right now it's really

strange that we haven't

received any

ransom- or any calls.

No, nothing.

So.. Does your husband

have any enemies?

My husband

yeah, I think maybe there's people out there

that don't like him.

Do you think there's anybody out there

that wouldn't like him enough

to hurt him by hurting his family?

I hope not.

You okay?

Well.. You know

what's going on, right?

Who are you talking to?

Let me tell you something.

If, god forbid..

God forbid.. I find

out you have anything

whatsoever to do with this whole thing..

Anything.

Listen to me and look at me.

I will beat you like a

red-headed stepchild.

I will rip your tongue out, okay,

and I'll mail it to your mother.

You understand what I'm saying?

She's my daughter!

Act like a father.

Not some pumped up little pimp that you are.

Okay?

Am I stupid?

You're married to my daughter.

Right?

If I wasn't a senator, okay,

I'd break every bone in your face.

Are we clear?

You behave like a gentleman.

You behave like a father.

You behave like a man..

Or I'll make you a girl.

Clear?

Clear.

Get him out.

Ambassador..

Look, my husband can be a

real a**hole sometimes.

How?

How?

Yeah, how can he be an a**hole?

He's in total control of

himself when he speaks.

Well, that's what he does, doesn't he?

I don't know your husband.

You know your husband.

He has a job to do and a facade to put up

and, you know..

People buy into it.

Mrs. Adams, I don't

mean to be disrespectful.

You seem like a very nice

lady and very Sincere,

but why are we here?

I'll tell you straight up.

I came here as an investigator..

Because I just felt like there was

nobody else I could talk to.

So if there's anything, um, that you hear,

if you get a

phone call-

and I'm just gonna let you know,

uh, out of respect for you..

Your phones are tapped.

And we didn't tap them

because of anything that

you did, we tapped them

in case somebody calls.

That's fine, I have nothing to hide.

My husband, on the other hand..

Thank you. Thank

you for the wine.

I'm gonna have to get going.

Take care.

Thank you.

If you need anything let me know, okay?

Of course.

Thank you.

How could you do this to me?

Al?

I'm so glad you're finally in here.

Marianna..

I can't believe you came

in through the back door.

We never use that door.

But I'm glad.

It's two and a half years.

You have to sleep in your own bed now.

You can't sleep on the couch anymore.

I love you.

Why did you leave me?

Everybody dies, honey.

I was just pushed to the front of the line.

I'm sorry, honey.

I'm always with you.

I'm always here with you.

You're not.

I'm here with you.

It's not real.

Dad, I can't. I

can't go right now.

I need to be

here. Okay?

No, I know, I know, I know.

But I just really need to be here

in case somebody calls, okay?

I know everything's gonna be fine.

I do. Okay?

I don't know where he is, I don't know.

I know, that's what the police said.

They did, they said that in the interview.

They took all the

information. They have-

yeah, we gave them a picture of her.

Okay. Alright,

thank you.

I know, I love you too.

Okay. Alright.

Okay, bye.

Margaret. What's

the matter?

What's the matter?

What's the matter?!

Are you f***ing kidding me?!

Are you f***ing kidding me?

Our f***ing daughter is gone!

That's what's the matter, you stupid prick!

You! This is all

because of you!

You think I'm stupid, don't you?

You think I'm f***ing stupid!

Find our f***ing daughter, you a**hole!

Mr. ambassador.. With

all your connections

and all your people and

all your f***ing women.

Get out of my f***ing sight now!

Go!

Now!

Get out of my f***ing sight!

I hate you.

Sonny and Cher..

Join me for lunch.

Ahh.

F***!

Who is it?!

Secret service Canada.

Aw, sh*t.

The door's open, for Christ's sake!

Please..

Thank you for coming in

on such short notice.

We're dealing with a

case of a missing person.

We have the abduction of a little girl.

This is secret service agent Sampson.

He's the last person who was with her,

as far as we know.

I'm stuck. I'm just stuck.

If you could provide any

kind of initial insight..

I'm gonna let agent Sampson provide you

with some details.

Okay.

I'm special agent al palermo.

Sorry to disturb your lunch.

Special agent Robert Santos.

I thought the FBI was

handling this investigation.

The abduction occurred in Canada.

Shut up! I'm

talking to him.

Uh, we're in Canada, it happened in Canada

so it's Canadian jurisdiction.

The alleged abduction.

We have no clue

if it is an abduction or a kidnapping,

but we came to ask you some questions.

But I want to ask you something.

Well, I'm gonna tell you something.

I'm about to have my dinner and this is the

high point of my f***in'

life these days, so..

I apologize.

A child's life is at stake.

I want to tell you,

I only have enough for one person, okay?

Fine.

Crystal clear.

Let me ask you something..

Why do you leave the door unlocked upstairs?

That's unsafe, sir.

I don't give a sh*t.

The worst that can happen is I get killed.

Ha ha!

You were the driver for the family?

Yeah.
