Perkins 14

The number of missing persons

in the isolated resort town

of Stone Cove stands at 13.

Authorities are still at a loss,

unable to establish any-

Vacationers are canceling

their lake house getaways

as the number of disappearances

continues to rise.

...is on edge, as you can imagine.

It's not the sort of news

to come out of this sleepy resort town.

Your move, Dad.

They're too busy being

pissed off at each other

to care what I do.

Daisy, you're so lucky.

My parents watch me

night and day.

Like, all right, last year,

they went away for four days,

I think it was,

and I was going to throw

a giant party.

I was totally ready for it.

And then I found a Webcam

hidden in my living room, so...

I know. Right?

Anyway, I'm excited you're coming

with us tonight

to the tragic forest.

You're going to love it.

I promise.

Eric's going to be there, right?

Do you want Eric to be there?

Maybe.

Daisy, you're such a slut.

I'm not a slut!

You're a slut!

What about you and-

God, who was that guy?

Sam.

Yeah.

- Hi, Mr. Hopper.

- Hi, Sammy.

- Hey, Mr. Hopper.

- Hi, Daisy.

Bye, Dais.

Bye, Mr. Hopper.

Bye, Sammy.

How'd your test go today?

Fine. Easy.

Whatever.

Listen...

...we picked up that boy

Eric Ross last week

on possession charges.

You friendly with him?

Even if I was, it would be

none of your business.

He's the guitar player, right?

He's really good.

How old is he?

How old are you?

Hello, Mrs. Hopper.

Hello, Dwayne.

Is that what you're having

for dinner, Daisy?

Yep. And Dad took the spaghetti.

I thought you were off tonight.

Jacobs called in.

He's sick.

The hell he is, Dwayne.

He wants to stay home

and watch the game.

I need the car tonight, Dwayne.

We talked about this.

Somebody has to watch the station.

I can't not go in.

Fine.

There's something else

I need to ask you about.

What?

You know with the new business,

I need some space.

I need an office.

It's a hobby, not a business, Janine.

Let it go.

You said you were going

to think about it.

- Yeah, what's the day today?

- Tuesday.

Tuesday what?

Why don't you tell me?

- What happened ten years ago?

- What are you talking about?

Today is the tenth anniversary

of the first abduction, Janine.

And you want me to turn

his room into an office?

It's just that you said that

we are going to talk about it,

so I just asked you again.

No.

I have my book club tonight,

so I have to go.

Hey, Dwayne.

What's going on, buddy?

Hey, what's up, Hal?

Everything's pretty quiet.

We got Felicity in holding cell 3 again

and some stuffed shirt in cell 5

who bolted at a traffic stop.

I like slow nights.

Are you okay?

You look more miserable than ever.

No big deal.

Just family stuff.

You want me to stay for a while?

- I'm fine.

- You sure?

Okay. All right.

That means I'm out.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Talk to you later, buddy.

I love it here.

I love it that you love it.

I don't miss anything.

The smell, the traffic.

It's sure quieter than Boston.

Do you miss anything?

God.

The rounds.

I got to get out of here.

Oh. You scared the sh*t out of me.

You have to help me get out of here.

I only got to make a phone call.

See, I'm a friend of Judge Tobin's.

You understand.

I'm his pharmacist.

He promised that he would help me.

No phone calls at night,

especially not to sleeping judges.

You can talk to someone

in the morning.

Please.

He promised he would

file the paperwork

before he left work today.

I'm sorry, sir.

Rules are rules.

There's nothing I can do.

Why don't you just relax,

and we'll sort it out in the morning?

What's your name?

Dwayne Hopper.

My name is Ronald Perkins.

Can you guys keep it down?

I'm trying to sleep.

All right, Felicity.

Pipe down.

Do you have any children,

Officer Hopper?

One.

Me, too.

I have children, too.

They need me.

I'm all they have.

Well, like I said-

What happened to your finger?

Yard work. It was stupid.

Tried to take a stick

from under a running lawnmower.

Please, help me.

Think of your daughter.

I'm sure Social Services

are taking good care

of your children, sir.

Get some sleep.

You, too, Felicity.

Do you have any children,

Officer Hopper?

I'm all they have.

Think of your daughter.

Sh*t.

I have children, too.

I'm all they have.

What happened to your finger?

Hello?

Who's there?

Daddy!

Son of a b*tch.

You lied to me.

Know what this is?

It's your file.

I looked it up.

Know what it says?

You don't have children.

Dude, you got

to be shitting me.

Quiet.

You looked in my file?

Maybe I started

to feel sorry for you.

Maybe I wanted to help.

Now, why would you want

to look at my file

if you wanted to help me?

How long have you lived

in Stone Cove?

All my life. I was born here.

How come I don't know you?

I don't know.

I live in my family's house.

It was our old summer house.

How'd you know

I had a daughter?

- You told me.

- No, I didn't.

Sure you did.

Dad!

Hello?

Hal, it's Dwayne.

Hey, Dwayne. What's up?

The game's on.

Can I talk to you for a minute?

Sure. What's going on?

I know this is going

to sound crazy, but...

I think our guy in the cell

might be the Stone Cove Killer.

You mean the pharmacist?

Yeah. He has a part

of his finger missing

which could explain

the blood on Kyle's carpet.

Daisy said she saw Kyle bite his hand.

Also, he has glasses

and the right shoe size.
