Come on, Carl!

There's been a break-in.

I found her.

She was out here by the shed

and she was just

lying on the ground.

And I could tell she was dead

the second I saw her.

And, um, I just don't get it.

We're not used to things like this

happening in this neighborhood.

I just can't believe

there was anybody that--

- Hey, how you doin'?

- Hey.

So, do you know this girl?

- No. So sad.

- Anyone else been around here?

Oh, yeah, my uncle George--

he lives across the street--

he was here.

His wife Arlene called the police

and then my sister Bonnie

came over with the twins.

And there have been

a lot of people over here.

- A little regular family picnic, huh?

- People are curious.

I want you to stay here with

the officer. Don't go nowhere.

- Oh, okay.

- Ma'am, right this way.

- You wanna run that tape back 10 feet?

- Yes, sir.

How long do you think she's been

trampling on the crime scene?

Too long.

No obvious blood.

Lots of trauma.

Look at her knees.

Toes are scraped.

There's no drag marks.

No rigor.

It's probably under two hours.

It didn't happen here.

Wanna wait for Crime Scene

before you start dicking with the body?

It's gonna rain.

I'll go run tape

and try to keep

this thundering herd

off the rest of the evidence.

Hey, princess!

Go get me a tarp.

She's f***in' sitting

on a pile of pissants.

Yeah.

What's that? Gray fiber?

Any of you clowns call Crime Scene?

Hail Mary, full of grace,

the Lord is with thee;

blessed art thou

amongst women,

and blessed is the fruit

of thy womb, Jesus...

Brian.

...Pray for us sinners,

now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

Hey!

Come here.

What's in the bag?

I knew you'd find me.

It's not a game, Anne.

What's in the bag?

Milk of magnesia.

I get stomachaches.

All right, get in.

You're on juvie probation.

You're supposed to be home.

My mom says don't come home

till the porch light's out.

- So you can talk to her.

- She still got all the boyfriends?

Ain't you the one

with all the boyfriends?

I got diamonds put on each finger.

Aren't they pretty?

That's real nice.

I'm pushing the damn thing!

Every time I go--

How you doin', Lucie?

I'm all right.

You and I both know she's on probation.

What's she doing out?

She don't come home from school.

So what you're telling me

is you want her to come home

right after school, right?

Yeah, of course.

- You hear that?

- Yeah, I heard it.

All right, I'm gonna be

coming by here from time to time,

make sure she's home, okay?

I can call you

when she doesn't show up.

You don't need to be wasting

your time on us, Officer Brian.

Come on, honey.

Supper's on.

Mike.

Just wait over here by the car.

Don't move.

You been warned, princess

Come on, ladies!

Let's go.

I told you.

Let's go home. Come on.

Hey! Come on, everyone.

Move.

You got a wife and two kids, boy.

Come on up here, guys.

Against the truck, please.

Come on, keep going.

Keep going.

What'd I do?

- What'd you just say?

- What'd I do?

So, were you waiting in line

for a blow job or giving them?

ID.

You, too, dipshit.

Now, why don't I call

personnel at the plant,

have you move on

down the road?

Nah.

I like it here.

What you doin', brother?

- Just taking out the garbage.

- Mm-hmm.

This one here--

that's Lucie's son.

Yeah, he's probably banging her, too.

Go on inside.

What, your daddy drop you

on your f***in' head or something?

Get in.

If it gets bad around here,

you call me, okay?

Come on in the house now, baby.

You come on in the house now.

Come on.

You just made it worse

for that little girl.

Social work ain't gonna

save her, Brian.

This is Detective Heigh.

Hey, Brian, this is Pam.

Listen, hon, we got a girl

gone missing over here.

- How long missing?

- 26 hours and no leads.

It's a- a new...

light green Toyota,

Texas plate-- GHY.

The girl's name is Kirsten Laine.

You got your command post

up yet?

Yeah, real soon. I'm gonna

call this in to your duty officer

'cause, listen, hon, I could really use

your help around here.

Yeah, Pam, I can't do that.

How come?

We got a homicide of our own

over here.

Female, blonde, well-dressed?

Female, probably a street kid,

dark hair.

Oh, come on, now.

Why don't you leave the early work

to that ace detective partner of yours

and help me out?

After all, he is the best.

There ain't a woman in the world

who don't love how I do it, sugar.

Okay? So, now,

don't try phoning our chief,

trying to pull some strings

and all that other kind of horseshit.

Take me off speaker.

Pam.

Would you request your partner

not continue to be

the a**hole he was

when I was married to him?

They're just going to

refuse you permission.

'Cause of last time.

I cannot go

into your jurisdiction again

Your captain's going

to call my captain,

and he's going to unload about

how many hours and money they spent

on me working

on other counties' cases.

Listen, Bri, this is looking

like a real stinker.

We just located the car.

Where?

It's in the fields.

All right, right now what you have

is a missing person.

If you find a body-

if you find a body,

you call me right away.

Thank you, hon.

See, my daddy always said,

"Sometimes you get;

sometimes you get got."

I'll let you suss out

what just happened to you.

Clark County Sheriffs Office...

- This is the area where six bodies...

- Come on, boy.
