Jeannie, momma knows

that you took something.

Honey I have to know what it is.

Did you take something with a needle?

Did you smoke something?

Did you take a pill?

Ask her if she sniffed

something, I read they sniff it.

Did you, did you

sniff something?

Honey, momma not

gonna be mad at you...

I just have to know what

it is, it's very important.

I don't mean to nag at you but...

if I don't ask you, you're

not gonna tell me anything.

You won't tell me

so I have to ask you.

She's alright, she

came home by herself.

Tell momma.

You know Dr Bronson...

He told me to ask

you what you'd taken.

and then he'll

tell me what to do.

She's alright, she's on something

but she's gonna tell me what it is.

Jeannie it's very important that

you tell momma what you've taken.

What's the matter with you?

Are you out of your mind?

- You are drunk! - What do you

mean she's on something?

What kind of a father are you?

What do you mean i'm drunk?

Because she's on something, i'm

drunk and i'm going to hit her!

You went out to look

for her and you got drunk.

Did we find her?

Come on Jeannie out!

Come on out, out, out.

Does she know what

a great father she has?

Do you know how many times

i've tried to give up smoking?

Tell them Margo.

- Tell them!

- Eleven!

Doctor Bronson!

She never told

me what she took!

You talk to Doctor Bronson.

Hello.

Hello.

That's strange, he doesn't

answer but I hear breathing.

Jeannie!

Hello.

Yes this is she.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes, my daughter is...

What?

Miss? Could you

do me a favour?

If you could look at that picture

and tell me if you've seen that girl.

It's my daughter.

No, not her

Maybe you could hang onto

it and if you do recognise her...

It's got my phone number...

Could I look at those pictures?

Thank you.

Miss...

Yes?

Take a look at that.

Look over there, in the booth.

See the girl?

It's this girl.

- It's the girl in the picture.

- I don't know.

No that's not my business.

Leave me alone.

Look at the picture and look

at the girl, it's the same...

- No, I don't know. - What do

you keep... What's all this?

What if my...?

No.

Is Mr or Mrs Lockston...?

Mrs Lockston?

Mrs Lockston, do you

have a missing daughter?

Tyne, Larry Tyne. It doesn't matter

Mrs Lockston, you don't know me.

I think I found your daughter.

She's in a luncheonette...

What? No, I saw her

picture in a luncheonette...

Yes i'm sure it's her.

Her picture's in a luncheonette

and she's sitting right here.

What?

I don't know, wait

a minute i'll find out.

What's the address here?

I don't know. I don't

wanna tell you nothing

It's on first avenue,

between 6th and 7th.

It's just a little lunch counter.
