Wednesday.

Same night the Bowen kid disappeared.

Yeah, same

night as the Bowen kid.

Hey, come on Louise,

can you hurry it up?

What's up with you?

You gotta hot date or something?

No, I got some

important things to do,

so if you wouldn't mind.

I'm going.

Good bye, Louise.

Yeah, good night.

What the f*** you trying to do?

I only wanted some

change for cigarettes, man.

You know you could've

gotten yourself killed.

Now get outta here.

Tonight I show these small town hicks

what a real detective is.

And Mr. Holland you're gonna help me.

I know, I know Jenny, but...

You must be patient.

I've been very, very busy.

Nicolas.

Nicolas.

Oh, Nicolas.

Come on baby, wanna talk about it?

Oh, I just can't get

this off my mind.

Poor Jenny next door.

I'm really worried.

Maybe Mandy was right.

Maybe we should call the police.

That's what they're there for.

And what if we're wrong.

What if there's no connection.

Isn't that what you

really wanna know?

Yeah.

You're right.

I love you.

I love you.

Listen, listen,

I'm gonna call her.

Call her

tomorrow, she's with Kevin.

Look I gotta call her tonight,

or else I gotta go home.

All right, give her a call.

okay-

Pam.

Yeah.

Yeah, I hope I'm not

interrupting anything.

Mandy, what do you want?

Everything I can get.

You better believe it.

Yeah, sounds like I'm the

one that's interrupting you.

What's up?

Well, if you really wanna know.

Mandy, why did you call?

Well I guess I was

just a little worried

about this thing with you and Nicolas.

Who's Nicolas?

Shh!

Well I think you'll

really be proud of me.

I finally made a decision

to call the police.

Yeah, you did?

That's really great.

So I guess you won't miss me

if I don't come home

'til tomorrow, huh?

I'll see you when I see you.

Enjoy yourself.

Okay, bYe-

You better be ready

to finish me, stud.

Roscoe dear,

here's your tea and biscuits.

Oh, thanks Hazel.

You know Mrs. Harrah called.

She said they'll be

delivering Mr. Harrah today.

Who is he?

Oh, you remember him.

Ah, you know, he was the

one you used to laugh at

because his name is the same

frontwards and backwards.

And you know, she said you

should put his hairpieoe on,

or his friends won't recognize him.

Look Hazel, I would appreciate if,

I have a lot of work to do,

if you'd just

leave me alone for a bit.

All right dear, I'll go upstairs

and do what I have to do,

I have work too.

Good.

Okay dear, take care of yourself.

I have work to do.

Yes, that's right.

163 Clermont.

Thanks Inspector.

They'll be here in 15 minutes.

I heard.

Are you sure we're

doing the right thing?

Yeah, I mean, at least

it'll be out of your hands.

You got nothing to lose.

Nothing to lose but my

credibility as a teacher.

They'll keep it confidential.

Honey, not in this town.

Thanks again, Miss Hayes.

We'll look into it right away.

Let you know if it amounts

to anything, all right?

Thank you.

By the way,

how do we find this place?

Make a left at the light

and a right two lights down.

Thank you, you've been very helpful.

How well did you know Mrs. Pavelock?

We had a nodding acquaintance.

We said hello when we saw her.

Thank you.

Pavelock, coincidence or mistake?

Could be.

She teaches these kids

about necrophilia

in an anthropology course

and then gets spooked by it herself.

Unless she unwittingly

triggered some sick mind

into doing all this.

You think it's this kid, Leonard?

I'll tell you what I think, partner,

I think she is one lucky lady.

And if the aunt didn't

come along when she did,

I think we'd be looking for

our Miss Hayes right about now.

Roscoe dear.

What is it, Hazel.

Two nice gentlemen

friends to see you.

Would you come in?

Please be seated.

You have my ear.

Sincere condolences, a

loved one has passed?

Oh no sir, nothing like that.

We'd like to ask you a few

questions if you don't mind.

Hazel.

Would your gentlemen

friends like some tea?

No thank you ma'am,

we won't be long.

Well then I'll be

leaving now, dear Roscoe.

Thanks, Hazel.

I guess you're here

about Nicky, right?

That's right, son.

Police officers and we've

been lead to believe

that you know about your

nephew's whereabouts.

Well I guess you'll

find out sooner or later,

so I might as well tell you now.

Find out what son?

About Nicolas.

I promised I would be silent,

but I guess I should tell you.

He was helping to dig and,

he's just a kid,

but what he did to these bodies.

It was incredible.

That's why he brought her

here that night.

He came to me and he told me,

he begged me for some money, you know.

He said it was an accident.

It was no accident.

I found out the next day

it wasn't an accident.

I'll get on the radio and

get an APB out

on this guy right now Bobby.

He was my dearly

departed sister's only son,

and I just couldn't tell anybody.

What was I supposed to do, oh God.

Excuse me.

I'm sorry.

Wait, is Hazel out there?

No, we're

alone here, Mr. Holland.

Okay, I don't want her to know.

Thank you, Officer.

Poor Nick, you know.

He didn't mean it.

He was...

He was abused when he was a kid.

And what he did to these poor,

oh Momma.

Please calm down, sir.

You won't hang Nicky if

you find him, will you?

Where does that door lead, sir?

That's uh,

my laboratory.

Do you mind if we take a look?

Certainly not.

I'll show you.

Oh Nicky...

Officer Barry.

This is the laboratory.

Where does that door lead,

Mr. Holland?

Through the courtyard, Officer.

And this one here?

Hall, the hallway.

And this one over here, sir?

Oh, uh, that's the storage closet.

I'll get the key,

it's not open, Officer.

It's open, Sir.

Oh, is it?

I though you said this

was a storage closet.

It's Nick.

It's not, it's a storage cellar.

Mind if I go down?

No, not at all.

Nicky, there's some

gentlemen here to see you.

I'll be right back.

Officer Barry's in the washroom,

would you like some tea?

Oh, uh, no, no, it's fine.

A cold beverage perhaps?

Yeah, something diet'd be nice.

Hm, okay.

No, I don't feel like

making dinner tonight.

I'm leaving Stan's

house in a few minutes.

I'll bring a pizza.

No, don't.

I wanna go down and try

to speak to Nick's aunt.

Are you crazy?

What if his uncle is there?

Look, the police never

called me back,

like they said they would.

They probably never even

went down there.

I've gotta find out.

Just wait for me.

I'm going with you, okay?

F*** this.

No, I'm at the hospital.

I just, I was on my way out,

and I couldn't wait for

these cops anymore

to tell me what was going

on with this guy, Nick,

so I just thought

I would go over there

and check it out for myself

and this guy ran a stop,

it wasn't my fault.

He ran the stop sign.

All right, listen, can

you just pick me up here?

All right that'd be great.

I guess I'll wait outside.

- Bye.

- Dr. Jorgenson report

to emergency stat.

Pam!

Son of a b*tch.

Pam.

I gotta be outta my f***ing mind.
