I got a feeling he's a little bit

more than just that.

- Mr. Beckworth.

- Hi.

I'm Detective Frankie Graylin.

I know. I've seen you on TV.

Great. So let's, uh, talk

about why you're here.

Right.

As you know, with your permission,

we searched your truck,

and we found a strand of hair

that belonged to Christie Dillon.

Right.

I know you already

gave an explanation,

but I'd like to hear it again.

Okay...

About, um...

three weeks ago,

I went to the park at the end of my street

to eat my lunch,

and I saw Christie there

with one of her friends.

I think her name was Heather.

And, anyway, Christie was, uh,

sort of helping, uh,

support, carry Heather,

who's limping.

Christie looked, uh,

a little overwhelmed

'cause they had a couple

of bikes with 'em.

And where were you? On a bench?

No, no, no. I was...

I was eating my lunch in my truck,

you know,

facing the softball field.

Okay...

So, you know,

I got out of my truck,

and, uh, you know,

I asked Christie

if she, you know,

needed some help.

And you know her? Knew her?

Oh, sure, yeah.

No, I've known Christie and her family

since Christie was little.

You know, I've been over their house

you know, to a holiday party

a couple times.

We do a big block party

on the Fourth of July.

It's a great neighborhood.

- I get it.

- Good. Right. Okay.

So, uh, it turns out

that Christie's friend,

uh, her ankle was banged up

pretty bad

from falling off her bike, so, uh,

I loaded their bikes

in the back of my truck,

and I took the girls back

to Christie's house.

And had Christie ever been

in your truck before?

Uh, no.

No, that was the first

and, uh, the only time.

Oh. Ls there a...

Are you currently in a relationship or...

No, I'm not.

Uh, you know, my wife and I,

you know, we got divorced,

like, 15 years ago,

and, uh, you know, I've had a couple

of relationships on and off since then,

but nothing too serious

the last year or so, so...

How about you?

A-Are you seeing anybody, Frankie?

No, I'm currently not in a relationship.

Well, uh...

This is probably really inappropriate,

but,

you know, after all this,

you know, blows over,

I mean, when you guys find Christie,

maybe you and I, we could...

we could have dinner or,

you know, we could...

Wow, that was inappropriate.

Yes, it was very inappropriate.

I'm sorry. It's... I'm sorry.

It's you're very attractive.

That was dumb. It was dumb.

- Look, it's...

- No, it was dumb.

- Sorry. I'm sorry. Sorry. Sorry.

- It's okay.

Okay...

It's all right.

Oh, God.

You know, actually I-I'm very flattered,

- but let's just leave it alone.

- Okay.

All right. Uh, I think

we're done here for today.
