(LAUGHS)

- Peter?

- Yeah?

I'm gonna ask you something

and you're going to say yes.

(LAUGHS LOUDLY)

What? What?

Is that what this is about?

(DOG BARKING)

BOY:
Nice.

- Yo.

- Hi.

Hi. You Nina?

- So, do you want to sit?

- Yeah, sure.

How's it going?

- Good. Yeah, good.

- Yeah? Good.

Well, anyway thanks

for coming to meet me.

Yeah, of course.

Um...

Let's do this. I know a place

right up the strip here, if you wanna go.

Listen, Kyle, there's something that

I didn't tell you about myself.

What, are you a dude?

(LAUGHS)

No. No. Wait, hang on.

Do I look like I could be a dude?

- No. No.

- Good.

No, I'm just...

I just think your story

is really interesting,

and I was wondering,

I don't know,

if you would let me

interview you.

What, for like a book?

Well, I work for

a small TV station, a news station.

And I'm a reporter.

- The news? You wanna interview me on TV?

- Yeah.

- Smoke? You have a smoke?

- No.

- Not right now, bro. Okay.

- Because you have a really great story.

You have a really great...

It's a really unique,

interesting story,

and I'd love to report it.

Um...

- It's special.

- Wow, I... I don't know. That's...

- Why not, Kyle?

- Really?

This is why you came down here.

No, but you see,

nobody would recognize you

because you'd be in shadow

and your voice would be distorted.

- I think I'm good, you know. Thank you.

- Totally anonymous.

Don't you want

something better than this?

Yeah, I wanted some money.

I came down here, honestly, because I

thought I was gonna get some cash.

And I'm really sorry

that I lied, but I knew you wouldn't...

I just want to get to know you,

so here's my card.

Here's my card.

Just, you just never know.

Call it.

And my e-mail's

on there as well.

Yo, bro, wait up.

Mike Dixon, please.

Hello, my name is Derek Hull,

and I was referred by a Detective Mantos.

Well, I'm calling

regarding a fraud case.

I'll just call again.

I'll call again.

(DOORBELL RINGS)

- Hey, good morning.

- Hey.

- Derek? Mike Dixon.

- Yeah, Derek. Derek Hull.

My pleasure. Thank you for coming so early.

I really appreciate it.

How about social

networking sites, you visit those?

Chat rooms, message boards?

No. No. Well,

she spends her life online, but I don't.

- CINDY:
I sell my artwork online.

- Thank you.

It's sort of my business.

Well, I go on

a chat site, sometimes.

What kind of chat rooms?

It's a...

It's a support group website.

Well, here's the thing,

someone out there has all your information.

All right,

here's what's gonna happen.

I am gonna clone

your hard drives,

and I'm gonna go through all the

information and the activity

and see if I can figure out
