going in circles like this?

That's all they do here! They just

go in circles, never going anywhere.

I want out of this stupid town!

I want out from the staring eyes and

I want away from my drunk father.

He's been sober for months!

Yeah, and you weren't around when he wasn't,

so don't try to step in now and save the day.

I don't need you!

I can take care of myself!

Aunt Jamie.

Hey.

I'm sorry.

Honey.

No, I'm sorry.

Hey.

How's the marina project coming along?

Okay. It'll be better

once the town approves things.

You're awfully tense.

Just been working too hard, I guess.

Well, you know what they say

about all work and no play.

Um, don't we have a tour

group coming in today?

- Yes.

- Yeah.

I will be more in the mood once

the town approves my plans.

- Okay?

- Okay.

Okay.

Happy birthday.

Zoe!

Zoe!

Hey, birthday girl.

Zoe? Hello!

Zoe, it's your dad. Just wanted

to wish you a happy birthday.

I'm hoping we can talk

at your party. I love you.

See you tonight.

Thanks.

Hi, you've reached Zoe's

voice-mail. Leave a message.

This was the last time.

Is it?

You said you were going to

give me the rest of the money.

Mmm. Did I?

Yeah, you did.

And if you don't...

You'll what?

I'm only 16...

well, 17.

You could go to jail.

All I'd have to do is say the word.

Are you...

Are you threatening me, huh?

No, I'm bargaining.

Just like you always do.

You hear me?

I'm done with you!

Now back off!

I can take these.

Thank you.

This is my fault.

I left her a message saying I

was going to come to her party.

No, that's the right thing to do.

Was it?

Now, sweetheart, you

don't call the shots.

I'll call the cops!

They'll take you away!

I'll tell your wife!

I'll tell everyone

about you and my mother!

Give me that!

Hey, Zoe!

Zoe, will you please just call

us and let us know you're okay?

I won't ask any other questions.

I'm just worried.

Mrs. Nevin, everything's all cleaned up,

and my dad should be here

soon to pick me up.

Aw, thank you, Natalie.

I'm sure Zoe just

forgot about the party.

Yeah. Yeah, that's probably

what happened.

- I'll see you

- Bye.

Zoe!

Zoe!

Zoe?

Zoe!

Zoe!

Zoe!

Zoe!

Where are you?

Zoe? Zoe!

Zoe!

Oh, my...

Are you looking for this?

Have you considered that your niece

may have run away again?

She's just never been

gone this long before,

and we've been getting

along better recently.

But there was trouble at home?

Yeah, but nothing serious.

I mean, you know the situation.

- But...

- Okay.

We're checking the bus

and the train lines,

and we sent a report to the LAPD,

in case she's headed there.

You call me, if you need anything.

My cell's on there, in case
