The first 200 lines.
Mrs. Carroll? ls everything all right?
Mrs. Carroll? It's Mare Sheehan. I'm standing outside your front door.
In the fucking freezing cold. Mrs. Carroll?
Mare? Mare, you out there?
Oh, you're here.
I'm here.
I wanted to make sure you knew about this right away
so the community's safe in case the pervert is still on the loose.
Well, next time, you just call the station.
- Do you have the main number? - I don't remember.
But-- But I trust you, and I don't know who the station will send over.
I understand, but I'm a detective sergeant,
which means I investigate the burglaries and the overdoses
and all the really bad crap that goes on around here.
Sounds awful.
Maybe you should look into a different line of work.
Here it is, Mrs. Carroll. See this?
That's the main station number, all right? That's the one you want.
I'll put it right in the center.
So you call them, okay, next time, instead of waking me up.
So, there's the scene of the crime, as they say in your business.
My granddaughter was upstairs getting undressed to take a shower
when she looked out the window and "Ahh!"
There he is. He was standing right out there.
One of those creepy peeper weirdos.
Did your granddaughter say anything about him or...
He was wearing a hooded sweatshirt so it was hard to get much of his face,
but from what she could see, he looked like a ferret.
- A ferret? - That's what she said.
Is that a security camera up there?
Oh, yes. We bought that at Best Buy three months ago,
but Mr. Procrastinator hasn't figured out how to use it yet. Big surprise.
And where is your granddaughter now?
Oh, she was scared to death, so she hightailed it back to Allentown.
She didn't wanna stay around here with a ferret on the loose.
All right. Well, uh...
I'll file a report and, uh, make sure patrol's aware.
I'm half tempted to leave as well,
but then I'd have to go to my sister's place in Ridley,
and she has cats.
Oh, I hate cats.
- No, I get that, Mrs. Carroll. - They are disgusting animals.
- You know, they're all bones. - Good morning, Mare.
- Mr. Carroll. - Did Betty tell you
what happened this morning with the weirdo?
- Of course. - Mrs. Carroll filled me in.
Of course I told her what happened.
The whole case would've been solved
if you had been able to figure out how to set up the security camera.
- I told you I was going to do that today. - All right, I'm gonna head back
to the station now and file a report.
We'll take care of it.
Hey, Mare. Big night tonight, huh?
They did a full article on you in the Tribune.
- Did you see it? - Uh, no.
You gotta see it.
- You got a sec? Just a second. - I don't, actually.
Well, now, no, just go get it for her, okay?
You let him, he would talk all clay.
Betty! What did you do with the paper? I left it here in the bathroom.
Now you stay right here. I'll be right back, Mare.
- Where is it? Where did you put it? - Oh, come on, Glenn. Do I have to...
I'm gonna miss you this weekend.
Who's gonna sleep next to me?
And hold me, and kiss me, and snuggle me?
Hm'?
Sometimes I wonder if you even realize how much I love you.
Your grandmom used to say, "You'll understand when you're a parent."
And I was always like, "Yeah, whatever."
But now it's like you can love someone so much, it's scary.
Oh, my God. I'm gonna miss you so much.
Okay. Let's get you changed.
Whoo!
He's pissing in your car window or someone else's car window?
No, no, no, no. Just stay in the house. An officer will be there momentarily.
Morning, Jan.
See this yet? Big write-up in the Tribune this morning.
I'm gonna frame it for you and hang it up in your office.
Yeah. Please don't do that.
I want us all to give a very warm welcome to Officer Trammel.
Today is his first day out in the field.
- Whoo-hoo. - There you go, Trammel.
- Good luck out there, Trammel. - Thank you.
All right, folks, let's get to it.
Uh, Mare, you had something today, right?
Uh, yeah. A prowler at 28 Grubb Road.
Homeowner said a suspicious male was watching from the backyard
as her granddaughter took a shower early this morning.
- You get a description? - Yeah.
I already caught the bastard.
He's in a cage in my daughter's bedroom.
All right, let's float a car out there
between Eldridge and Garnet Mine...
What's up?
My daughter's been missing for exactly one year today.
Every moment without her has been complete torture.
And the police aren't doing anything.
They don't care. That's why we're here.
If they're not gonna fight to find Katie, we will.
The Board of Commissioners called again this morning
about adding a county detective to assist with the case.
They want a fresh set of eyes on this
- by Monday. - No, no, no, no, no.
I don't need some county shithead coming on my case.
They're getting pressured, Mare.
- Come on, Chief. - And 'cause they're getting pressured,
- I'm getting pressured. - Chief, come on.
You know how this shit goes.
Katie Bailey was a known drug abuser with a history of prostitution.
She's probably lying at the bottom of the Delaware River right now.
- We'd never know. - The thing is, we don't know.
Anything-
After a year.
Thanks for being in my corner.
Sit down, Mare.
The Rotary Club increased the reward money to 15,000.
We're printing up new flyers and handing them out
at every needle exchange from Camden to Wilmington.
Go back to the file. We're starting over here.
Oh, okay.
Hey-
- Hey. Come on in. - Hi. Could you--
Could you just hand him over 'cause I gotta-- I gotta go.
It's cold out. You can at least stand inside.
It's nice to see you too. Jeez.
'-
What is she doing here?
Don't worry about what she's doing here. I don't ask about your life.
I don't want her around my son, okay?
I seriously don't even know what you see in her.
Oh, just shut up, Erin.
Hey, Dylan. You forgot this.
I put his ear drops in the front pouch
- in case he runs a fever. - Hey.
You better not be talking about me, Erin.
- I haven't said nothing about you. - Stop texting my man.
'Cause he doesn't want anything to do with you anymore. Okay?
He's the father of my baby, so I kind of, like, have to talk to him.
- What's that? - Are you seriously that stupid?
Fuck you, Erin! You know what? You're gonna get it. Yeah. Trust me.
- When you least expect it, you dumb bitch. - Please just put the window up?
- No, I'm not gonna put the window up. - Brianna, Jesus Christ.
Stupid.
Hey-
We really need to schedule his ear surgery.
The doctor says if he keeps getting infections,
he could have hearing loss.
- You talk to your parents? - Don't bring them into this.
- They do enough. More than your dad. - You said you'd talk to your parents--
If I gotta pay more, it goes through the court. That's what we decided.
That's gonna take forever. Can we just get his surgery done?
- Just to make sure that he's okay? - I don't have $1,800 to meet the deductible!
How many times have I told you?
Everything needs to go through the court, okay? I gotta go.
Yeah, I'm looking for a-- For, like, a turtle tank.
Do you have, like, a tank for turtles?
Yes, we do.
Um, how about this one?
This is the Amphibian Life 1500.
This one's got a UVB heating kit.
- This is a nice one. And it's got-- - Yeah, I just--
I just need something simple, really. It's a-- It's a-- It's a baby turtle.
Okay, urn. All right. Let's take a look over here.
This one, this is the Oasis Habitat.
This is another nice setup.
- Yeah, it also has-- - I think even simpler.
I doubt the thing's gonna live very long.
Well, you'd be surprised. I mean, my mother's turtle outlived her.
If it's taken care of, sure.
If you feed it and give it clean water
and make sure it's not swimming in its own filth.
It's for my grandson.
He's-- He's four and has trouble focusing on tasks.
I just-- Yeah, I don't think we need all the bells and whistles is all.
Have a look around. I'll be up front.
This is Mare.
Hey, Sarge, this is Officer Trammel.
We got a burglary at 535 Argyle Road.
Just tell her it's Beth Hanlon's house.
Uh, I'm gonna need you out to process the scene.
What happened?
Homeowner came home to find the trophy case smashed
- and some sports memorabilia missing. - It's Freddie again, Mare.
- He's being his fucking asshole self. - She thinks maybe it's her brother.
She caught him in the basement shooting up last night and threw him out.
All right.
Tell Beth I'm on my way.
Excuse me.
Yeah.
That's perfect.
- Hey. - Hey, Mare.
- How's your morning going so far? - Great. I just, uh...
wasted the last half hour picking out an aquarium
for the turtle you and Drew brought home yesterday.
He seems excited about it. I think it'll be good for him, you know?
Give him something to look after.
That's what you said about the lizard.
Two weeks later, I was flushing it down the toilet.
- Did you really flush it down the toilet? - Yes, I did.
- I'm busy, Frank. - Okay. All right.
