and the baby will be taken away from you.

Is that clear?

- 'Hello.'

- Rachel? Hi.

- 'Oh, scott... '

- still no word?

'No.'

I'm in forthe night

so when you hearfrom him, call me, OK?

- 'AII right.'

- OK.

- Bye-bye.

- 'Bye.'

(Phone)

- Yeah.

- (Rachel) 'I called the morgue.'

- What?

- 'They said Tommy's dead.'

Don't assume anything. I'll be right there.

- How long was he missing?

- A day and a night.

- How old was he?

- 13.

- Did he have any birthmarks?

- You are jumping to conclusions.

- Back off.

- Was he into drugs?

What's the matter with you guys?

If you aren't ready forthis,

we can do it anothertime.

Let me do this.

Ohhh. Mm-mm.

- That's not him.

- You're lucky.

This boy died a horrible death.

Call sergeant Palco at this number.

You should report your boy missing.

This tattoo, does that mean anything to you?

I don't know what it is. Must be popularthough.

Third one this month.

Really?

It's not him, honey.

Where is he?

- (Car horn)

- Let's go, man.

- Pedro!

- Come on!

Hey, Pedro! Hey!

Pedro, I need to talk to you. Please, wait!

(Car horn)

- Man, you want some suicide?

- What?

- How many rocks you want?

- This is Tommy Burke.

- You seen him?

- (Tyres squealing)

- (Gunman) I told you to stay at your corner.

- Please.

(Doors slam, tyres squeal)

(sirens)

This kind of thing takes a back seat

to major crime.

so unless you've got

some substantial evidence,

- we gotta treat it like it's a runaway.

- It's not a runaway.

Look, I have evidence. There's a tattoo.

I saw it on the kid in the morgue last night

and on the kid this afternoon.

- It's the same one that Tommy's got.

- What kind of tattoo?

Initials with eastern sh*t going through it.

- Y-l-P?

- Yeah, that's it. What is that?

That's the Youth Incentive Programme.

- It's crack.

- No, no.

Tommy wouldn't be dealing crack.

I hearyou but even if he is,

I couldn't help you.

If he's a runaway, that's not a priority

and if he's into drugs, you can't help me?

- Why did they send me to you?

- I don't know.

It's a matterfor Narcotics.

You're retiring and it's evident

that you don't want to do your job,

so enjoy yourself.

- Go do your gardening or whatever...

- Hey, Barnes. Barnes!

- Come here.

- What?

My retirement's got nothing to do with this.

You don't listen.

You're in the wrong department.

You want help? I can get you help.

- All right?

- All right.

Follow me.

No. I'm convinced he's being

held by this crack ring.

I'll tell you what, Mr Barnes.

lf, during our investigation,

we find the boy you're looking for,

- you'll be the first to know.

- Are you retiring, too?

- How do you know he's innocent?
