The Factory

I don't think so.

Exactly.

Okay, I love you.

Well, hello handsome.

And since I just moved here a couple of years ago,

I don't know too many folks, It sure is nice to...

Have someone to share a Thanksgiving meal with.

I just love to cook.

Well whatever pulls your hair back honey, you're paying.

So, what are you a doctor?

Because there's some fancy ass medical books you got there.

No, I ...

I just work at Buffalo Regional.

Well ...

Why don't we play doctors and nurses when I get back from the little girl's room?

Okay. Yeah.

It's down the hall on the end.

Are you ready for me, baby?

Don't be shy now.

This is so disappointing.

When were you going tell me, you have ...

I take you off the streets

and offer you the chance to create something, rather than destroy it!

- And this is how you pay me in return? - Please, I'll do anything you want!

No, no!

A committed relationship is between a man and a woman.

How did you think this was ever going to work out?

What are you talking about?

Come on ...

It's okay. I'm doing you a favor.

Do everyone a favor.

We're returning to the crime in a case that has puzzled Buffalo law enforcement for the past 3 years.

Authorities this afternoon announced the closing down of a once high profile investigation.

Which begun with the disappearance of 17 year old prostitute Lisa Donnelly.

Donnelly was the first of seven sex workers

to go missing from downtown Buffalo over a 3 year period.

With all the alleged abductions taking place during the winter months of November through March.

A nurse at Buffalo Regional hospital, Darrell Kennedy

was initially named by authorities as a person of interest,

but was eventually cleared of all involvement.

While officials claim budget restraints are forcing the allocation

of resources to other cases, sources close to the investigation

blame the failure of detectives to locate a body

It's bullshit cut and run politics Kelsey.

They're thinking shut this guy down with a press conference.

Take a look out there.

7 out of 7 were taken in the snow. 7 out of 7.

- Are you listening to me, or what? - I'm not deaf, Mike.

You think these guys would be shutting it down if it was their daughter?

I don't fucking think so.

- What, you're not going to fight this? - Hey!

I was the dumbass who fought to be on this case, remember?

What a great move that turned out to be.

Come on, it's Thanksgiving for Christ's sake!

Be thankful. Let it go for one night.

Hang with family, eat too much, pass out on the couch, easy stuff.

What are you, my nanny? My life coach?

There's a lot you don't know about me, detective.

Don't even think about it.

Abby would never forgive you if you didn't come in.

We've got a ton of paperwork to get done.

The sooner we get it done, the sooner we can move on from this.

Will you listen to yourself?

You're obsessed. You've got to let it go.

Come in for a drink.

Come on. One drink going to kill you?

There really is no point in even having this discussion

because dinner is about to be on the table.

So if you could just come and help me, that would be great.

Mom, please. Tad's whole family invited me over.

You're going to have to tell Tad's whole family

that you're spending Thanksgiving with your own family.

Hey, surprise, surprise!

Hey!

This is a surprise. Mike didn't tell me you were able to make it.

Who cares? Finally somebody cool.

I'm not staying, I just wanted to come in and say happy Thanksgiving.

Come on, relax. There's plenty to go around, right Shelley?

Yes, you could have my plate, because I'm having dinner at Tad's family.

You know what? Enough, young lady, OK?

You're staying in, that's it. Final.

Even your dad managed to make the effort.

This is unbelievable. Do you see what i have to deal with?

This is so fucked.

Now you're just showing off. Could you go tell your brother to come?

- Could you? - Yeah.

Make mine a large.

- Hey, sorry. - No, don't worry about it.

You should see me at that age.

God, Dad.

I'm not hungry.

She's been cooking all day Abby, don't be stupid.

It's like being under house arrest to live here.

Yeah, must be rough.

You haven't even been here to see what a Nazi she's become.

Abby.

It's Thanksgiving.

Want to help me out here?

Come to dinner.

Look, why don't we go to White Face this weekend make the most of the early snow?

You like the cabin, don't you? It's fun. Remember last year?

Missed all that school because the... the big dump?

Dad, no.

Look, I'll be out in a minute, okay?

Get your head together, please.

Don't be rude.

Come on.

You'd think with a scholarship to Cornell wouldn't be a no-brainer, but no.

Now she's talking about going to Buffalo State to be closer to Tad.

I don't know. First love.

I guess you got to let them get it out of their system, right?

Wow, look at you guys.

When was this? Have I seen this?

Yeah, it was a while ago ...

Look who we got here. Say hi to Kelsey. He can't say "strawberry".

Wait a minute, you're not Jed! You're too tall to be Jed.

I'm gonna put bricks on your head to make you short again.

Last chance, Kelsie. Want to stay for a drink ...

Michael, could you let the poor girl go home already?

She's probably sick and tired of you. Don't worry about it, Kelsie.

Here, I'll take that.

- Tell Abby I said goodbye. - Yeah.

Jed, did you say goodbye?

- Bye! - Have you said goodbye to Kelsie?

- Did you look her in the eye buddy? - A Happy Thanksgiving!

Good job.

- Jed, you washed your hands? - Yes.

This looks great.

You sure you can handle a family dinner without your backup?

Come on, It's Thanksgiving.

She didn't have anybody in Buffalo.

She's supposed to be our friend, you know?

If she were a real friend you wouldn't force her to work the same ridiculous hours as you.

That way she might actually have someone to spend Thanksgiving with.

I mean, it's not sad enough she's a 30 year old woman who can't have kids ...

You want to deprive her social life too?

I didn't forced her to do anything. Kelsie is a big girl, she can look after herself.

Let me do that. Don't tell your mom, just take a sip.

- Let me get that, please? - Okay.

This looks great.

Look at this amazing job your mom did.

Allright, doesn't this look great?

Here, boy.

Jesus, Dad. Is this cold enough in here for you?

It helps to keep me awake.

What's up kid?

Mom, would like you to come inside so you can see Jed's costume

for his stupid thing.

Tell her I'll be in, In a minute.

He's playing a donkey and i was like, Jed really need a costume for that?

Come on now ...

- Can I ask you something? - Sure.

Why do you spend so much time here?

What is it with these girls?

Well, they got names.

This is Lisa Donnelly. She grew up in Riverside.

She started working the streets when she was younger than you.

She's been missing for 2 years.

She was gone three months before anybody reported her gone.

And when they did, it wasn't her mother or father or ...

... or brother, or sister. It was her landlord looking for back rent.

So much for the city of good neighbors, huh?

All these girls ... It's all the same.

I never found a single body.

Now they're just missing girl, that nobody missed.

That would be a horrible way to live, right?

Come here.

Leave me alone, I'll be in, In 10 minutes.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Okay, so here's what I don't understand.

If Divine was working at a Girls Girls, Girls last night,

What was she doing curb crawling?

Come on man, she's not stupid.

She hasn't worked the streets since they all started to go missing.

She was on her break, getting money at the ATM for the drugs.

For the drugs, what kind of drugs?

HRT.

- What's HRT? - Hormone Replacement Therapy.

She's a tranny?

She's a pre-op transsexual, allright?

She was going to take the next couple of days off to rest up, you know?

Fuck! There were 3 days away from surgery.

We are going to do our very best to find her and we're going to call you as soon as we hear anything.

Okay?

We should be working on this thing non-stop since I moved up here.

When people said you were reaching even calling it a case I had your back, right?

But if we'd to go in from the D.A. tomorrow, what do we really have?

Your intuition?

No bodies, no homicide, Mike.

God, I want this as bad as you do but there's dogged and then there's just plain pig-headed

- Come on, she's a missing hooker. - Who's been missing less than 12 hours.

She's probably in a bar somewhere about to give some John the surprise of his life.

She was about to get that chopped, you heard the boyfriend, right?

She was supposed to be at home, In bed, resting.

What the fuck? Are you with me on this or what?

Of course I'm with you.

I'm just saying what about the other 7 hookers who were all girls?

Biological girls. Why would he change his M.O now?

You saw her pictures, she had me fooled.

Look, assume for a minute that I'm right. Which you really should.
