Look. Christy Miller. Jeeter's girl.

So?

Same high school as Debbie Cherico.

Signed the yearbook,

"best friends forever."

Nice! Well, let's find

her and bring her in.

She works at that coffee shop in Beachwood.

You have been working on it.

All night long.

I'll make a call.

I guess I owe you $10.

No, I think it's 20.

Hey.

What's up, Belkin?

Hey, Belkin! I want those files on my desk!

- You were at the...

- He finally shut up.

... club Saturday night, right?

Okay.

But we're good, right?

I mean I just made detective.

I can't risk anybody...

We're good, Belkin.

You don't have to worry.

Okay.

Hey.

- Hi.

- Hi.

Um...

I screwed up.

I had no right to talk

to you the way I did.

I ruined our date and I

really enjoyed being with you.

And I'm nervous.

Um...

maybe I am too old for you.

Will you stop saying that?

If anything you're too smart for me.

No way.

You're smart, funny,

and you're honest and...

basically I think you're amazing.

You there?

So you called to say I'm amazing?

Yes.

Can I see you again?

Yeah.

Yeah, you can.

Great. Great.

If you could have

anything, what would it be?

What's your dream?

What do you mean? Like, be rich or famous?

No. I mean your...

your big dream. Dream for your life.

My big dream is kind of small.

Yeah?

A woman I love. Loves me.

A house. A dog.

Mmm. Me too. House. Yard. Dog.

Partner.

- What kind of dog?

- Mmm...

I don't know. Maybe one

of those little ones.

You know, that you carry around with you.

With long, white hair. What

are they called? Maltese?

Oh, sh*t.

Sh*t, no. No. No!

There is no way!

There is no way I am gonna

live with that little dog!

I...

- That's a deal breaker.

- I'm kidding! I'm kidding!

- That's a deal breaker.

- I'm kidding. I'm kidding.

That's a deal breaker.

And the one-two swung on! Driven

deep to right-center field!

Going back is Crawford...

- Yeah.

- Yeah!

I made you a baseball fan, huh?

Mm-hmm.

Detective Hester.

Christy Miller's manager just called.

She's leaving town. It's now or never.

I'll be there in half an hour.

Throw to home, you idiot!

You having a party?

Uh, my sister's over.

I'll see you.

I've gotta go.

It's Saturday.

Yeah. Something's up.

We're working the right lead.

Uh, you want to put money on it?

Give me a minute.

Christy?

Can I talk to you for a sec?

- What about?

- Your friend Debbie Cherico.

You're not in trouble. Okay?

I just want you to come down to the station

and talk with me for, like, 30 minutes.

Christy?

Stop!

Come on!

Stop the car!

- Stop! Laurel!

- Damn it!

Get away, b*tch!

You okay?

You hurt?

I'm fine. I'm okay.

Come on, Christy.

Let's stop playing games, right now. Okay?
