Show us handling code three

at Washington and Bank.

Officers are on their way,

sweetheart, okay?

What's your name?

Leah. Leah Templeton.

How old are you, Leah?

Oh, God.

He broke the window.

He's coming in the back.

Leah, listen to me. Find a room

and lock yourself in it right now.

Leah. Stay on the line with me,

sweetheart.

Do not disconnect, okay? Leah?

Leah?

I'm upstairs in my room.

But the door, it won't look.

He's in the house.

7- Adam-13, what's your ETA?

Eight to 10.

I don't know where to hide.

Okay, Leah.

- He's gonna find me.

- Here's what I need.

Is there a window in the room?

Yes.

Okay.

Leah. Don't speak. Stay quiet, okay?

Officers are gonna be there any second.

I'm okay.

I think it worked. He left.

I think he's going back downstairs.

Leah?

Leah.

Leah. You okay?

It's okay. I'm fine.

He's gone.

Okay, good.

I think he's going back outside.

Oh, God. I think he's coming back.

I think he heard the phone ring.

Shut it.

Please don't hurt me.

Please don't hurt me.

Okay, listen, whoever this is, the police

are on their way right this second.

I suggest you leave that house

before you do anything

you're gonna regret.

It's already done.

Oh, God.

Oh, God.

Excuse me.

Oh, God.

Oh, God.

What happened back there?

The ring gave her away.

Just help me, and tell me

what you were thinking.

I wasn't. I...

I don't know, I just...

I wasn't focused or what...

Okay.

I normally am,

and I don't know, I just wasn't.

I just wasn't. I wasn't.

Jor.

Just came by

to check on you.

Jordan.

Come on, Jordan,

I know you're in there.

Just came by to see what's up,

see if you're good.

L.A. county police continue

their search for missing teen

Leah Templeton,

who was allegedly abducted from

her home in Hancock Park last night.

L.A.P.D. sources

say the lack of witnesses

and evidence in the case

are frustrating the effort.

Templeton's family issued

a statement late last night...

911, where's your emergency?

911, where's your emergency?

- How old are you?

- Okay.

Calm down, ma'am.

What's your name?

Hey, hon.

You gonna be okay?

911, what is your

emergency? Yes, sir.

Sir, please calm down.

Yes, I understand.

Yes, the corner of Santa Monica...

911, where's your emergency?

Send someone! There's a bat!

Yeah, a bat flying around

my daughter's bedroom! Aah!

Oh, my God, there it is again!

Hello? Are you there?

Yeah. Yeah.

Please send somebody!

Yeah, I'm here. Uh...

Anyone, please.

Okay.

I am gonna have Animal Control

there right away.

Okay. Thank you.

Okay.

No problem. No problem.

- 911, what's your emergency?

- Goddamn it!

What did I do wrong, sugar, huh?

Huh?

Hey, Terrance.
