0:01:36 > 0:01:39Harvey? What you doing up?

0:01:39 > 0:01:43Go back to sleep, babe. I'm just getting a little bicarb.

0:02:28 > 0:02:29Chris?

0:02:29 > 0:02:32I didn't wake you, did I?

0:02:32 > 0:02:34It's Harvey, Harvey Lacey.

0:02:34 > 0:02:38I'm really sorry to bother you at this time of night.

0:02:38 > 0:02:42You don't have a date or anything, do you?

0:02:45 > 0:02:47I need to talk to you, Chris.

0:02:47 > 0:02:52No, no. Not now. Can I meet you tomorrow for lunch?

0:02:54 > 0:02:58Well, how about after work? It's very important.

0:02:59 > 0:03:00Yeah.

0:03:00 > 0:03:02OK.

0:03:03 > 0:03:07Yeah, I'll find it. ..Thanks a lot, Chris.

0:03:07 > 0:03:12Look... I don't want Mary Beth to know about this, OK?

0:03:13 > 0:03:17Please, Chris, this is just between the two of us. OK?

0:03:17 > 0:03:19Thanks.

0:03:20 > 0:03:23I'll see you tomorrow, then.

0:03:32 > 0:03:35Six hours in court!

0:03:35 > 0:03:40The man should be removed from the bench! ..No probable cause?!

0:03:40 > 0:03:44I've been a cop 14 years! I know probable cause, believe me!

0:03:44 > 0:03:48- Yeah. - Mary Beth, are you all right?

0:03:48 > 0:03:51- I'm fine, why? - You've been weird lately.

0:03:51 > 0:03:54Weird? What does that mean?

0:03:54 > 0:03:55Quiet.

0:03:55 > 0:03:59You're supposed to be quiet in court.

0:03:59 > 0:04:04Thank you. You don't speculate, you don't accumulate. ..10? Nice action. Thank you very much.

0:04:04 > 0:04:08- We're down to the home stretch. - You changed the odds again.

0:04:08 > 0:04:14- You have Petrie at evens to pass the sergeant's exam and me at 5-1! - I call 'em the way I see 'em.

0:04:14 > 0:04:17If I'm not the favourite, I don't know who is!

0:04:17 > 0:04:21Only with yourself. If people don't bet for you, the odds'll get longer.

0:04:21 > 0:04:25- Thanks. What can I do for you? - Five on Lacey, five on Rabinowitz.

0:04:25 > 0:04:29You got it. And...20 on Isbecki. That oughta hold the line for now.

0:04:29 > 0:04:35Section 12-783 of the patrol guide strictly prohibits gambling on department property, Coleman.

0:04:35 > 0:04:40- Yes, sir!- I'll have for ten on Cagney and five on Blomquist.- Yes, sir.

0:04:40 > 0:04:46- Ladies.- Sir.- Lieutenant.- Ladies, care to make a bet? The window is now open for the sergeant stakes.

0:04:46 > 0:04:49- No. I don't feel lucky today. - What are the odds?

0:04:49 > 0:04:52Ridiculous! He's got me at 5-1!

0:04:52 > 0:04:55Oh... When it gets to 10-1, let me know.

0:04:55 > 0:04:57Excuse me.

0:05:08 > 0:05:13- It's after five o'clock. I thought you left 20 minutes ago! - I've things I want to finish.

0:05:13 > 0:05:18- Oh, leave it till morning. That's what I'm doing.- It won't take long.

0:05:18 > 0:05:22- I thought- I- was the workaholic. - I don't wanna get caught up.

0:05:22 > 0:05:26- TELEPHONE RINGS - Lacey, 14?

0:05:26 > 0:05:28Yes, I remember, ma'am.

0:05:28 > 0:05:32Please, tell me your name and address.

0:05:32 > 0:05:34And your son's name?

0:05:35 > 0:05:40How old is Kevin, Mrs Taggart? ..And he was due home when?

0:05:41 > 0:05:46Did you check with the neighbours? What about his friends, ma'am?

0:05:46 > 0:05:50All right. All right, we're gonna need to come over there.

0:05:50 > 0:05:54Er... Half hour tops. All right, ma'am.

0:05:55 > 0:06:00- Half hour?- Eight-year-old. Never came home from school.

0:06:00 > 0:06:06- Mother's upset. She kept our card from some community action meeting. - Let the other shift take it.

0:06:06 > 0:06:11- Those guys will put her off until tomorrow.- They're probably right.

0:06:11 > 0:06:15- I'll go. You don't have to. - No. I gotta stay uptown anyway.

0:06:28 > 0:06:32< Do you think I like worrying about you every time I go to work?

0:06:32 > 0:06:38Do you feel like a man, scaring me?! I've a good mind to wear you out! SMACK! BOY CRIES

0:06:38 > 0:06:42- Sounds like we wasted a trip. - SHE BANGS ON THE DOOR - I hope so.- Who is it?

0:06:42 > 0:06:45Detective Lacey, Mrs Taggart.

0:06:45 > 0:06:48LOCK RATTLES

0:06:49 > 0:06:56- This is Detective Cagney.- I should have called you back, I'm sorry. He came back about ten minutes ago.

0:07:01 > 0:07:05- Hi.- I'm really sorry you took up your time coming over here.

0:07:05 > 0:07:09- Kevin knows better than to act like that.- I'm sure he does, ma'am.

0:07:09 > 0:07:14I've told him till I'm out of breath to come home right after school.

0:07:14 > 0:07:19You apologise to these ladies for making them come out of their way! ..Did you hear me?

0:07:19 > 0:07:24- Yes, ma'am. ..I'm sorry. - Hey, don't mention it.

0:07:24 > 0:07:27I guessed I shouldn't have panicked,

0:07:27 > 0:07:33- but when I got home and no-one had seen him for hours, I didn't know what else to do.- You work?

0:07:33 > 0:07:36- I'm a typist for a company. - Work late a lot?

0:07:36 > 0:07:39- I take overtime whenever I can. - So you leave your son alone?

0:07:39 > 0:07:45- He went to a daycare centre, then they cut the funds and closed it down.- What about his father?

0:07:45 > 0:07:48You find him and ask him about that.

0:07:48 > 0:07:53- If you can't get a baby-sitter, maybe a neighbour.- Look! They have their own problems!

0:07:53 > 0:07:56Kevin is old enough to stay here by himself.

0:08:02 > 0:08:05Mrs Taggart, I'm glad everything worked out.

0:08:05 > 0:08:09Kevin, don't you go scaring your mother any more. You hear me?

0:08:09 > 0:08:11Ma'am.

0:08:19 > 0:08:22So you think she really belted him?

0:08:22 > 0:08:25I hit Harv Jnr when he broke the rules.

0:08:25 > 0:08:27Parents smack kids. It happens.

0:08:27 > 0:08:32- Would you leave an eight-year-old alone here?- What else can she do?!

0:08:32 > 0:08:37Hey... Harv has got some kind of a business dinner with a contractor,

0:08:37 > 0:08:40and the boys are with Brenda. You wanna go eat?

0:08:40 > 0:08:45- You and me?- Yeah! I could maybe spring for a bottle of wine.

0:08:46 > 0:08:50I'd love to... but I've got this date.

0:08:53 > 0:08:58- Oh... Somebody new?- No, it's... Well, it's not a date date.

0:08:58 > 0:09:02- It's a blind date. - I thought you hate them!- I do!

0:09:03 > 0:09:07Remember Mr Segal, my plumber? Well, it's his nephew.

0:09:07 > 0:09:12He's been trying to fix us up for about six months. He's a corporate lawyer.

0:09:12 > 0:09:17- As a recall, you also swore off lawyers.- I did.

0:09:17 > 0:09:21But, er... A good plumber's hard to find.

0:09:21 > 0:09:23Yeah, you got that right.

0:09:39 > 0:09:44- Hi!- Hi.- Sorry I'm late!- That's OK. I'm glad you made the time to come.

0:09:44 > 0:09:48- Mary Beth wanted to have dinner! - You don't say you were meeting me?!

0:09:48 > 0:09:53Oh, no! I made up a great story. Well, it was an OK one, but I think she bought it.

0:09:53 > 0:09:57- Looks like it'll be a while before they seat us.- Yes.

0:09:57 > 0:10:00- Want a drink? - I'd love one! Six hours in court!

0:10:00 > 0:10:03- Sit.- Oh, thank you. ..Scotch on the rocks, please.

0:10:03 > 0:10:09- Make that two.- Take it easy! I thought you told me at New Year you had a two-beer limit?- Yeah.

0:10:18 > 0:10:24- The best memories of the worst blind date I've ever had are those of Howie Newtonburger.- Really?

0:10:24 > 0:10:30- Yes, I was in college. "You'll like him!" my roommate says. He's athletic.- He played football?

0:10:30 > 0:10:36Howie? Don't be ridiculous! He was captain of the golf team! 6'6", 120lbs, soaking wet,

0:10:36 > 0:10:40which he was a lot, since he'd sweat so much.

0:10:40 > 0:10:42Anyway, he said four words to me.

0:10:42 > 0:10:46"Hello." "Two, please." "Goodnight."

0:10:46 > 0:10:51And then, when he kissed me, he split my lip with his braces and I needed three stitches.

0:10:51 > 0:10:56- Poor guy. Whatever happened to him? - Howie? ..Poor Howie?

0:10:56 > 0:11:01Poor Howie became an oral surgeon, lives in a mansion in Beverly Hills. He married Miss Nebraska.

0:11:01 > 0:11:04- Wow!- I doubt they kiss much.

0:11:09 > 0:11:13Anyway, Harvey. Enough about me. Let's talk about you.

0:11:14 > 0:11:19You call me up at night, you want to have a secret meeting, tell me not to tell Mary Beth.

0:11:19 > 0:11:23then I bore you for half an hour with stories of Howie Newtonburger.

0:11:25 > 0:11:30You know, I proposed to Mary Beth in a restaurant. Not like this, though.

0:11:30 > 0:11:35- Second time before she said yes. She ever tell you that?- Yeah.- Yeah.

0:11:35 > 0:11:38When she said she'd marry me, I must've jumped five feet!

0:11:38 > 0:11:43Knocked over a waiter, spilled a plate of ravioli down his suit.

0:11:44 > 0:11:49I love her so much, Chris, I can't even think about losing her.

0:11:49 > 0:11:51Harvey, what are you talking about?

0:11:51 > 0:11:56You and Mary Beth have the best marriage in America. I know that!

0:11:56 > 0:12:03- Whatever it is will blow over. The best marriage in America is not finished.- It's not us - it's her!

0:12:03 > 0:12:07Mary Beth hasn't been herself lately.

0:12:07 > 0:12:13I thought she was worried about the sergeant's exam or some case you two were on.

0:12:13 > 0:12:17Then when were in bed ten days ago, and I found a lump on her breast.

0:12:17 > 0:12:22I asked her, she said it was nothing and didn't need to see a doctor.

0:12:22 > 0:12:25It was cysts, normal for that time of month.

0:12:25 > 0:12:29- Maybe it is.- So how come I never noticed it before?

0:12:29 > 0:12:34How come she got out of bed, locked herself in the bathroom?! She won't talk to me!

0:12:34 > 0:12:38Chris, I am scared it is something serious and Mary Beth won't admit it.

0:12:38 > 0:12:41I came to you, because I don't know what to do.

0:12:49 > 0:12:53We're a day-and-a-half behind because of yesterday!

0:12:53 > 0:12:58- It's not warm and you drag me here to have lunch. What's going on?! - I had a craving for fresh air!

0:12:58 > 0:13:04- Don't you ever feel that way? This is nice.- Not when I'm busy. I got no time for picnics.

0:13:04 > 0:13:08Hey, Mary Beth, I'm buying, OK?! Who put the gift horse in the mouth?

0:13:08 > 0:13:16- You wanted turkey on rye, but they were out, so I got pumpernickel. - Fine. ..Why am I eating it here?!

0:13:16 > 0:13:21Because the park was the most private place I could think of.

0:13:22 > 0:13:27I went by the women's centre today on my way in,

0:13:27 > 0:13:29and I got you these.

0:13:31 > 0:13:34- Breast cancer?- Yeah.

0:13:34 > 0:13:39Harvey didn't have a business dinner last night. He had dinner with me.

0:13:39 > 0:13:43And he told me about the lump he found on your breast.

0:13:45 > 0:13:49He's been... He told you about that, huh?

0:13:49 > 0:13:52- He had no right to do that. - Don't be angry with him!

0:13:52 > 0:13:57- That man is worried sick! - I told him I'd go see a doctor.

0:13:57 > 0:14:01- Oh, you did?- Yeah! - What did he say?- Who?

0:14:01 > 0:14:07- The doctor!- You know how hard it is to get a doctor to see you these days, plus they charge a fortune.

0:14:07 > 0:14:11- You didn't make an appointment? - There's nothing wrong, Chris! OK?

0:14:11 > 0:14:15I was going over the Valdez case last night - we should reopen it.

0:14:15 > 0:14:22- I can recommend a doctor my aunt saw when she had a similar problem. - Thank you. Valdez is lying.

0:14:22 > 0:14:25I'm telling you, we should talk to that brother.

0:14:40 > 0:14:45- Yes! You beat that, kid! Beat it! - Let me play!- Watch the next game!

0:14:45 > 0:14:49- Let me play!- In a minute. - Soon as you beat me!

0:14:49 > 0:14:51I'll beat you. LOCK RATTLES >

0:14:51 > 0:14:55- BANGING ON DOOR > Here, play now. Play now.- Yeah.

0:14:59 > 0:15:01Hiya, babe.

0:15:05 > 0:15:09- Here.- But you...- My turn! CRASH! >

0:15:09 > 0:15:13- Let me play. - DISHES CRASH >

0:15:24 > 0:15:28Harv, can't you do a few things when you know I'm gonna be late?!

0:15:28 > 0:15:32Dinner'll be an hour at least! Got that? ..Playing video games.

0:15:32 > 0:15:35- What are you so mad about? - You have to ask?

0:15:35 > 0:15:40How could you do that?! How could you go to Christine with something like that?!

0:15:40 > 0:15:44- I didn't know what else to do... - I told you, don't worry.

0:15:44 > 0:15:49- Mary Beth...- No, it's my private business! You had no right!

0:15:49 > 0:15:53- Michael wants to know if you're gonna finish the game.- Later.

0:15:53 > 0:15:56Go into your room and finish your homework.

0:15:56 > 0:16:00- I already did mine... - Go check it! Close the door.

0:16:07 > 0:16:09Babe...

0:16:09 > 0:16:12Please, let's sit down and talk about this.

0:16:14 > 0:16:18No. I said this to Christine, I'm going to say it to you.

0:16:18 > 0:16:21There's nothing to talk about, cos nothing's wrong.

0:16:21 > 0:16:25So you and her can run someone else's life and leave mine alone.

0:16:31 > 0:16:33Excuse me.

0:16:33 > 0:16:35LID CLATTERS

0:17:01 > 0:17:03Well?

0:17:04 > 0:17:07- What?- Did you see the doctor?

0:17:07 > 0:17:13- I didn't have time. Michael's ear infection's... - Mary Beth, but you said...

0:17:13 > 0:17:18- TELEPHONE BUZZES! - If this ain't about work, I don't wanna hear about it. ..Lacey?

0:17:18 > 0:17:21We'll be right there.

0:17:21 > 0:17:24Eleanor Taggart is here to see us.

0:17:30 > 0:17:35- Kevin didn't come home. - Last night?- I didn't wanna call because of the last time.

0:17:35 > 0:17:40I was so sure he'd show up, but I didn't know what else to do.

0:17:40 > 0:17:45- We'll do what we can to find him. - He's never done nothing like this! He's only eight years old!

0:17:45 > 0:17:51I just keep getting this picture of someone picking him up off the street! You see that on TV!

0:17:51 > 0:17:55I understand. I got kids myself. Calm down, cos we need your help.

0:17:55 > 0:18:00- We need some information, answers to questions. - Where was he last seen and when?

0:18:00 > 0:18:04Yesterday afternoon, after school.

0:18:04 > 0:18:07SCHOOL BELL RINGS, CHILDREN CHATTER

0:18:07 > 0:18:11That third grade class hasn't had a regular teacher in months,

0:18:11 > 0:18:15because Lara moved and we've had difficulty keeping a regular teacher.

0:18:15 > 0:18:20What about Kevin's classmates? Any kids he hangs out with?

0:18:20 > 0:18:24Detective... this is a very overcrowded school.

0:18:24 > 0:18:31Now, I'm not sure I could pick out Kevin Taggart from a crowd, much less tell you who his friends are.

0:18:31 > 0:18:37- You got a headache?- No, sinus. - My husband gets that sometimes. That can be very painful.

0:18:37 > 0:18:42Mr Berwin, we'd like to check Kevin's locker. Maybe something there'll tell us where he is.

0:18:42 > 0:18:47- I'd have to open it for you, and I can't without a search warrant. - It'd take us a day to get one!

0:18:47 > 0:18:52The school system just went through a lawsuit about this!

0:18:52 > 0:18:57I can call and ask for an exception, but it won't do you any good. That's what happened the last time.

0:18:57 > 0:19:01Right. So, we get a search warrant.

0:19:03 > 0:19:08Sir... Try sleeping with a vaporiser. My husband swears by that.

0:19:11 > 0:19:17We'll have a warrant by tomorrow, we'll have flyers made up for uniformed officers to hand out,

0:19:17 > 0:19:22and we put his name and description in the national computer file.

0:19:22 > 0:19:26I walked all over the neighbourhood yesterday. I walked for blocks.

0:19:26 > 0:19:30- I know. It's a hopeless feeling... - Why would he do this to me?!

0:19:30 > 0:19:36I missed two days of work already and my supervisor said I might not have a job to come back to.

0:19:36 > 0:19:39- Mrs Taggart... - Did you buy this for your son?

0:19:41 > 0:19:46- That don't belong to Kevin. - I found it under his bed. Where did he get the money for it?

0:19:46 > 0:19:50Are you saying he stole it?! My son doesn't steal!

0:19:50 > 0:19:53Who says he did, ma'am? ..Will you excuse us?

0:19:53 > 0:19:57We have to apply for that warrant, and the clerk's office closes at 5.

0:19:57 > 0:20:00Come on, Christine. ..We'll be in touch.

0:20:12 > 0:20:18- You heard her. She's more worried about her job!- She's not thinking! Her kids been missing 23 hours!

0:20:18 > 0:20:23- Maybe he wouldn't be if she'd taken better care of him.- Easy to say.

0:20:24 > 0:20:27Mary Beth, we know she hit him at least once.

0:20:27 > 0:20:33- She leaves him alone for hours. If he didn't boost that radio, I'll eat it!- You think he ran away?

0:20:33 > 0:20:36How come he didn't take his radio?

0:20:36 > 0:20:41I was a latch-key kid before they called it that! When my father took off, my mother had to work.

0:20:41 > 0:20:47I was alone after school from eight, and I didn't turn into a thief and I didn't run away from home.

0:20:47 > 0:20:51- This is completely different! - Why? Because I'm white?

0:20:51 > 0:20:54No! And you know I didn't mean that!

0:20:54 > 0:20:57Look, why don't we drop it? I'm gonna...

0:20:57 > 0:21:00I want to give you something.

0:21:04 > 0:21:07- It's the name and telephone number of a doctor.- Oh...

0:21:07 > 0:21:12He's a cancer specialist, and you should see him now!

0:21:14 > 0:21:20Listen, I know you're frightened! I'll go with you if you want me to! Mary Beth, will you talk to me?

0:21:20 > 0:21:25- Talk?!- Yes!- You wanna talk about how WE'D feel in case maybe I have breast cancer?! OK...

0:21:25 > 0:21:29In case maybe I have breast cancer. You go first!

0:21:34 > 0:21:37Thanks for the chat, Christine.

0:21:37 > 0:21:40It's faster if only one of us applies for the warrant,

0:21:40 > 0:21:44so I will go downtown and you find out if the flyers are ready.

0:21:48 > 0:21:53It doesn't matter how I feel about it! I matters how YOU feel!

0:22:08 > 0:22:13Well, thanks anyway, Benny. I just thought I'd check.

0:22:13 > 0:22:17When the flyers hit the streets, you could put one on your newsstand.

0:22:17 > 0:22:22Huh?! ..Oh, yeah. Next to the girlie magazines is good, Benny.

0:22:22 > 0:22:26You're right. Everybody'll notice it there.

0:22:26 > 0:22:28I've gotta go. Bye.

0:22:29 > 0:22:33You know, I knew a guy who flunked the exam four times.

0:22:33 > 0:22:36- Did he ever make sergeant? - Yeah, on the fifth try.

0:22:36 > 0:22:41Listen to this, the department notified him of this a year later.

0:22:41 > 0:22:44Two days after he'd died. Can you beat that?

0:22:45 > 0:22:49I bet you Petrie heard that. Look at him.

0:22:49 > 0:22:54The exam isn't till the 22nd. He's been cramming like this for months.

0:22:54 > 0:22:57That's why the smart money's on Petrie.

0:22:57 > 0:23:01- But he's gonna burnt out! You know what he said today?!- No.

0:23:01 > 0:23:07What is the number of uniformed officers usually assigned to the Presidential motorcade?

0:23:07 > 0:23:13- They could ask that.- They could ask anything! It's 100 questions. But it can't be that hard.

0:23:13 > 0:23:18The second part - the video taping - will separate the men from the girls.

0:23:18 > 0:23:20- Right, Cagney?- Yeah, right.

0:23:22 > 0:23:24Good morning.

0:23:26 > 0:23:29The rest of these went out with the morning shift.

0:23:29 > 0:23:34- They'll distribute them, then canvass a ten-block radius around the school.- Thanks.

0:23:34 > 0:23:37- They also hooked you up a hotline. - Good.

0:23:47 > 0:23:51If the warrant is ready, then we can get into Kevin's locker by 11.

0:23:51 > 0:23:54- Good morning, Mary Beth!- Morning.

0:23:54 > 0:23:59Det Lacey, 14th squad. ..I'm checking on a search warrant I applied for yesterday.

0:23:59 > 0:24:03Case number 182551.

0:24:04 > 0:24:07Yeah, I'll hold.

0:24:07 > 0:24:11Believe me, Mr Berwin, I appreciate your problem,

0:24:11 > 0:24:15- but we're all working for the city. - My prime concern is these children.

0:24:15 > 0:24:18We're concerned, too, about this one kid.

0:24:18 > 0:24:22- Did you try that vaporiser? - No, I didn't have the chance to.

0:24:22 > 0:24:25- I told you my husband swears by it, right?- Yes.

0:24:25 > 0:24:30- You're aware you have to sign for whatever contents you remove.- Yes.

0:24:30 > 0:24:36There's two types of vaporisers - the wet steam and dry steam, for different times of the year.

0:24:36 > 0:24:40Wet steam is better in the winter. ..He's neat for an eight-year-old.

0:24:42 > 0:24:44He's rich, too.

0:24:45 > 0:24:48There's over 200 here.

0:24:48 > 0:24:51Mr Berwin, you know where kids hang out after school?

0:24:59 > 0:25:06- Listen, can...?- Hey! Things been going pretty bad?! You gotta come to this joint to get a date?!

0:25:08 > 0:25:13Hey, you're coming with me, and I'll show you a real good time. I bet you could use it.

0:25:13 > 0:25:16You're probably right.

0:25:17 > 0:25:21So... Do you know this kid? His name's Kevin Taggart.

0:25:21 > 0:25:23What's it to you, baby?

0:25:23 > 0:25:28You shut your face, you. There's a kid who could be hurt.

0:25:28 > 0:25:33- He could be dead! So what?! - Listen, whoever you are, I'm not patient, all right?!

0:25:33 > 0:25:37- And you're not a lot of help. - Well, you never help me!

0:25:42 > 0:25:47Hey, you know this kid? Maybe you could tell me who he hangs with.

0:25:47 > 0:25:51- You run this place?- Yeah. You wanna put me out of business?

0:25:51 > 0:25:55- I don't need cops coming here! - I don't think we caught your name.

0:25:55 > 0:25:59- Corelli.- This kid is missing. - Don't know him.- You sure?

0:25:59 > 0:26:02- I only work here, lady! I'm no social worker!- Yeah!

0:26:02 > 0:26:08You're a nice, honest guy, who takes money from kids below the poverty line for a living.

0:26:08 > 0:26:13- It's called free enterprise, cos it's a free country. - It has laws and city ordinances,

0:26:13 > 0:26:19and you better be on the right side of every one from now, or you're in deep trouble.

0:26:21 > 0:26:25Our name and number's on this. Why don't you stick it somewhere?

0:26:25 > 0:26:28Then people can see it.

0:26:34 > 0:26:38So that's it? That's all you're gonna do to try to find him?

0:26:38 > 0:26:42If we could be doing anything else, we'd be doing it!

0:26:42 > 0:26:44But it's been almost three days.

0:26:44 > 0:26:49I guess you don't send cops to look for a low-income child.

0:26:49 > 0:26:54Even if we had the personnel, we don't know where else to look. He could be anywhere.

0:26:54 > 0:26:59If he was rich and white, you'd move heaven and earth to find him!

0:26:59 > 0:27:04I'm getting tired of your attitude! We're doing everything we can!

0:27:04 > 0:27:09- Nobody knows where he goes or what he does after school!- Chris! - So you think I neglect him?!

0:27:09 > 0:27:14- I just don't understand how... - You're damn right you don't!

0:27:14 > 0:27:18You make a nice salary! You can afford a baby-sitter or daycare!

0:27:18 > 0:27:23I make 80 cents above minimum wage! I take home less than 130 a week!

0:27:23 > 0:27:28And I got a choice, right?! I can pay for daycare or pay my rent!

0:27:28 > 0:27:32- There's city agencies that... - Uh-huh. Charity, welfare.

0:27:32 > 0:27:36The ADC in food stamps is the same as I make for 40 hours!

0:27:36 > 0:27:40I didn't want Kevin to grow up on hand-outs,

0:27:40 > 0:27:46so I went and got myself trained and got a job, so he could see somebody stand on their own two feet!

0:27:46 > 0:27:52And what did it get me?! People saying I'm a bad mother, cos I don't wanna stay home on welfare!

0:27:52 > 0:27:57Well, you ask yourself, lady, what would you do if you were me?!

0:28:00 > 0:28:07- A perfect end to a perfect day(!) - What did you expect? It's hard for her trying to do it by herself.

0:28:07 > 0:28:12- Everyone's got problems! It's the kid that matters!- Agh!- ..Look out!

0:28:12 > 0:28:15- Hey! You leave her alone! - Mary Beth!

0:28:35 > 0:28:39- I didn't know how to fill out some of the questions.- That's OK.

0:28:39 > 0:28:43- Have a seat. Doctor'll be with you shortly.- Thank you.

0:29:39 > 0:29:41Mrs Lacey?

0:29:58 > 0:30:02- This is my business!- It isn't! What is so hard, Mary Beth?!

0:30:02 > 0:30:06- Talk to the doctor and get it over with!- You didn't have to go there!

0:30:06 > 0:30:10You didn't have to sit there and look at your future in brochures,

0:30:10 > 0:30:13with their special holder, about cancer and dying!

0:30:13 > 0:30:17- Even if it is cancer, no-one said you'll die!- Maybe I'll get lucky(!)

0:30:17 > 0:30:21Maybe they'll cut me up and pump me full of chemicals!

0:30:21 > 0:30:26- You'll live and get better! That is all that's important! - I don't want it, Harv.

0:30:26 > 0:30:29I don't want tubes and machines.

0:30:29 > 0:30:33I don't want the boys remembering me sick like that.

0:30:34 > 0:30:35Harv...

0:30:35 > 0:30:41- You fall apart when I get the flu. How the hell will you deal with cancer?!- I'll deal with it!

0:30:41 > 0:30:45- I'm calling the doctor and getting you there first thing.- Harvey...

0:30:45 > 0:30:50- No discussion! This isn't just you! We are in this together!- Harvey...

0:30:52 > 0:30:54I'm scared of dying. I...

0:31:43 > 0:31:48This guy comes in when the kids are here after school, but he's no kid.

0:31:48 > 0:31:53He's maybe 17 or 18. I thought it was funny, him hanging around with them.

0:31:53 > 0:31:57- Was Kevin Taggart with him? - Yeah. But this guy's Willie Smoke.

0:32:45 > 0:32:48- I don't know no Kevin... - Don't jive me, Willie!

0:32:48 > 0:32:52You pay him to run dope. That's what happened, isn't it?

0:32:52 > 0:32:56He's your mule, and you sent him out on delivery and he never came back.

0:33:44 > 0:33:48You two, go around the back, in case they flush somebody out.

0:33:48 > 0:33:54- What've we got?- He was sent here. It might be a shooting gallery. - Three days? Think he's still there?

0:33:54 > 0:33:58- It's the last place he was seen! Got a better idea?!- I'll go there.

0:33:58 > 0:34:04- There's another door behind that crane, Isbecki.- OK.- I'll go here. - ..Wait! Come here. How are you?

0:34:04 > 0:34:09- What did Berringer say?- They took some fluid out of the lump, and they'll know something tonight.

0:34:09 > 0:34:14- Are you OK?!- Yeah, sore a little. It's no big deal. I did it, OK?!

0:34:14 > 0:34:17Hey! I got something you should see!

0:34:34 > 0:34:38I got thinking. What happens if the kid comes along here?

0:34:38 > 0:34:42- Taking a shortcut? - It's dark, and he slips.

0:35:38 > 0:35:42- He probably has hypothermia.- Yeah, what about this incinerator shaft?!

0:35:42 > 0:35:49- If we can hear him, he must be close. - I can't see the bottom, but it doesn't look blocked! It might work.
