divulged information without meaning to.

Like I said, I don't know.

Look, we're gonna leave

these two officers here with you.

Sound good?

It does.

Is it all right if we look around?

Of course, sure.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Thank you.

Mommy!

Baby girl!

Mommy, guess what?

I took care of the baby ducks in school!

Lucky girl!

I came to drop off the balance

of your first month's rent.

Thank you, Aunt Kim.

You're a sweetheart to do that.

Well, remember, this is a loan.

I expect you to pay me back.

Yeah. I will.

Mmm. Like all the other times?

I said I would.

Mommy, I got a pretty dress

for the Mommy Daughter

Show tomorrow.

I bet I'm gonna love it.

WOMAN:
Order up.

Can I see your new house,

Mommy? Please?

PAIGE:
Please.

Hey, sweetie,

I'm gonna give you a quarter.

Why don't you run over

and get some gum, okay?

This Mommy Daughter Fashion Show

is important to her.

It's all she's talked about for days.

You need to be there by 9:30,

not a minute later.

Don't you roll your eyes at me!

You are her mother

and you need to start acting like it.

You've broken just about every promise

you've ever made to her.

I will be there at 9:30.

Thank you for the loan.

Oh, man! Great.

We'll brush it off.

DISPATCHER:
(ON RADIO)

Reports have come in that

as many as four different vehicles

have been stolen

over the last several hours.

All units, be on the lookout

for a stolen 2004 light blue

Mercury Grand Marquis,

Georgia tags

1-Sam-John-Adam-4-4-George.

Vehicle is currently believed

to be driven by murder suspect

Brian Nichols.

OFFICER:
10-4. Appreciate it, Rose.

NEWSCASTER:
You look at the actions

of the suspect, Brian Nichols,

in the triple courthouse homicide...

What do you think the personality profile

of a man like this is?

MAN:
(ON TV) Well, you know,

I've listened to friends and relatives say

he was really a nice guy

when he grew up.

He was a nice kid, he was big,

nobody messed with him.

But, you know, people did

mess with him, the system did.

The system said he couldn't

abuse his girlfriend,

he couldn't tie her up in duct tape,

he couldn't assault her,

he couldn't carry a machine gun.

This is a guy who didn't

like to be told, "No."

And, when the system finally said,

"We're gonna make you pay for this,"

it sounds like this sociopath...

Hey, Aunt Kim.

Ashley, I wanted to apologize for earlier.

I wasn't very nice.

(MUMBLES) No, it's okay.

No, it's not.

I was rude and unfair.

What's that noise?

Are you at a party?

No, no.

I'm just unpacking, playing my music.
