- Any news of my daughter?

- Not yet.

As soon as we hear anything,

we'll let you know.

The descriptions you gave the officers

about your attackers are very unclear.

Is there anything you can add?

I came in this door. There were two men

there, at least two back there.

One hits me on the head

and I'm unconscious.

Surely you saw one of them

before you were attacked?

I told your men everything I know.

(police radios, sirens)

We understand that the same sort of

thing happened in New York City.

Yeah, that's right.

Muggers followed my wife and daughter

home from the market.

The police there got a good description

of the muggers, too.

- But it didn't do any good.

- We do what we can.

Oh. One of my men

found this on the floor.

Honey, if they don't need us,

let's go to my place. They'll be all night.

Mr. Kersey.

We got news of your daughter.

How is she?

Is this your daughter, Mr. Kersey?

Mr. Kersey? Is that Carol?

- Get some sleep, darling.

- You go back to bed.

I want to stay here a while.

I'll be along in a moment.

(priest) Unto Almighty God, we commend

the soul of our sister, Carol,

and we commit her body to the ground.

Earth to earth, ashes to ashes,

dust to dust.

In sure and certain hope

of the resurrection

unto eternal life through our Lord,

Jesus Christ.

Don't worry about the new building, Paul.

It can wait.

Oh, I'll be back soon.

It's not necessary.

It is for me.

Thanks for the use of your cabin.

(howling)

This is the new model. The Department

of Building and Safety approved it.

Has Elliott chosen a building type yet?

We've drawn it with three different

renderings, to compare how they'd look.

Call him up and make an appointment.

I'll run it over.

His wife'll probably choose

but he can go through the motions.

Get me Mr. Cass, please.

Our market is local news.

Fires, traffic jams, droughts.

I'm not so sure, Elliott. We've got our

awards for international reporting.

I don't care about awards.

KBEX's local news

has kept us out of first place too long.

You're the boss.

If you want, we'll take them on.

Oh! See you later. Why didn't

somebody say you were here?

- Your building's been approved.

- What's it gonna cost me?

Well, with a steel frame

and reflective glass,

it'll cost 250 dollars

a square foot,

wooden frame,

100 dollars a square foot...

...concrete, 150 dollars a square foot.

All the figures are right here.

I can't believe these prices.

- Welcome back.

- (phone rings)

- I see you made a noisy comeback.

- Hello? Yeah, go ahead.

I heard you were in the building.

- I was just coming to see you.

- See you tonight?

Oh, Geri, I don't feel like

I'm fit company for socializing.
