♪ Santa, you suck
181
00:09:58,554 --> 00:10:00,208
♪ Santa, you suck
182
00:10:00,251 --> 00:10:03,167
♪ Santa, you suck.
183
00:10:06,606 --> 00:10:09,870
30 Christmases
have passed...
184
00:10:09,913 --> 00:10:12,960
since I first opened
Garden Gate with the dream
185
00:10:13,003 --> 00:10:16,354
of offering those who have lost their loved ones
186
00:10:16,398 --> 00:10:19,096
a funeral home like no other.
187
00:10:19,140 --> 00:10:23,840
And as we gather here today
for our annual Christmas party,
188
00:10:23,884 --> 00:10:28,671
it is my pleasure to thank
each and every one of you
189
00:10:28,715 --> 00:10:34,546
for another year
of excellence in service
190
00:10:34,590 --> 00:10:36,940
and to be reminded,
191
00:10:36,984 --> 00:10:41,510
once again,
that no matter how full
192
00:10:41,553 --> 00:10:43,904
our work days may be,
193
00:10:43,947 --> 00:10:47,690
to take a moment
to celebrate...
194
00:10:47,734 --> 00:10:49,953
...all that life has to offer.
195
00:10:49,997 --> 00:10:52,042
Blah, blah, blah.
196
00:10:52,086 --> 00:10:53,304
Charlie!
197
00:10:53,348 --> 00:10:54,784
Nice to see you, too.
198
00:10:54,828 --> 00:10:56,090
All right, everyone.
199
00:10:56,133 --> 00:10:57,961
Scurry back to yourcrummy little jobs,
200
00:10:58,005 --> 00:11:00,747
with your crummy little gifts,
201
00:11:00,790 --> 00:11:04,272
while boss man herecounts his bag full of money.
202
00:11:04,315 --> 00:11:08,319
What? Not giving out anypink slips this year, Santa?
203
00:11:08,363 --> 00:11:10,452
- You're drunk, Charlie.
- Yes, I am.
204
00:11:10,495 --> 00:11:13,934
And I've gotten pretty goodat it, too, thanks to you!
205
00:11:13,977 --> 00:11:16,066
- Okay, stop it, Charlie.
- I'm just getting started.
206
00:11:16,110 --> 00:11:18,286
No, that's enough.
Let's go.
207
00:11:18,329 --> 00:11:19,722
Luke.
208
00:11:19,766 --> 00:11:23,160
It's okay, Austin.
I'm fine.
209
00:11:23,204 --> 00:11:25,685
Actually...
210
00:11:25,728 --> 00:11:27,774
we have another problem.
211
00:11:29,732 --> 00:11:33,214
I hated to interrupt you,
but I've done everything I can,
212
00:11:33,257 --> 00:11:34,911
and he's been utterly
inconsolable
213
00:11:34,955 --> 00:11:36,826
for the past half an hour.
214
00:11:36,870 --> 00:11:39,350
And with allthe guests waiting...
215
00:11:40,569 --> 00:11:41,788
Mr. Dingle?
216
00:11:41,831 --> 00:11:44,704
Mr. Dingle,
it's Luke Reilly.
217
00:11:44,747 --> 00:11:48,708
I had the great honor of knowingyour uncle Cuthbert quite well.
218
00:11:48,751 --> 00:11:53,843
And that he donated his fortuneto promote childhood literacy
219
00:11:53,887 --> 00:11:55,802
was a wonderful thing.
220
00:11:55,845 --> 00:11:58,543
So every bellon every street corner
221
00:11:58,587 --> 00:12:01,198
that the volunteersof Jingle Book House
222
00:12:01,242 --> 00:12:04,593
will proudly ringon Christmas now and forever...
223
00:12:04,636 --> 00:12:09,467
will honor your uncle Cuthbert'sgoodness and generosity.
224
00:12:09,511 --> 00:12:14,908
And that can only bring yougreat peace and comfort.
225
00:12:14,951 --> 00:12:17,824
Here.
226
00:12:29,574 --> 00:12:31,489
Now...
227
00:12:31,533 --> 00:12:35,493
So, you really gonna go through with it this time?
228
00:12:35,537 --> 00:12:38,758
The drilling,
the needles, the pain?
229
00:12:38,801 --> 00:12:40,281
Et tu, brute?
230
00:12:40,324 --> 00:12:44,589
You bet against me in the officepool that I'd chicken out?
231
00:12:44,633 --> 00:12:46,287
The odds were too goodto pass up.
232
00:12:52,336 --> 00:12:54,686
Do what I say,
233
00:12:54,730 --> 00:12:55,949
and you won't get dead.
234
00:12:59,430 --> 00:13:01,519
Very funny, Mr. R.
235
00:13:01,563 --> 00:13:03,434
Don't shoot, Santa.
We surrender.
236
00:13:03,478 --> 00:13:06,350
You think this is a joke?
237
00:13:06,394 --> 00:13:09,049
- That I won't shoot you?
- Mr. R?
238
00:13:09,092 --> 00:13:11,573
It's okay, Rosita.
Stay calm.
239
00:13:11,616 --> 00:13:14,054
Yeah. You do that.
Both of you.
240
00:13:14,097 --> 00:13:17,884
Cellphones -- now.
241
00:13:24,716 --> 00:13:26,022
Put these on!
242
00:13:26,066 --> 00:13:27,981
And toss over
your wallet, too.
243
00:13:31,419 --> 00:13:32,899
Start the car.
244
00:13:38,905 --> 00:13:40,863
Why are you doing this?
245
00:13:40,907 --> 00:13:43,561
Please.
Please let us go.
246
00:13:43,605 --> 00:13:46,869
My boys, my babies.They don't have anybody else.
247
00:13:46,913 --> 00:13:48,175
Tell someone who cares.
248
00:13:48,218 --> 00:13:50,220
Now shut your trap
and do what I say.
249
00:13:50,264 --> 00:13:52,179
Listen,
why make matters worse?
250
00:13:52,222 --> 00:13:55,573
You have the car -- take it.
Just let us go.
251
00:13:55,617 --> 00:13:58,663
- You wish.
- This isa carjacking, right?
252
00:13:58,707 --> 00:14:00,927
Enough with the quiz show!
253
00:14:16,333 --> 00:14:18,553
You're going to
be okay, Rosita.
254
00:14:18,596 --> 00:14:20,250
Just do what the man says,
255
00:14:20,294 --> 00:14:22,905
and everything's
going to be okay.
256
00:14:22,949 --> 00:14:24,994
- Isn't that right?
- Whatever.
257
00:14:25,038 --> 00:14:27,040
Let's get going!
258
00:14:29,042 --> 00:14:31,914
Get on the turnpike.
Take the Edgewater exit.
259
00:14:31,958 --> 00:14:34,482
Head under the G.W. Bridge.
260
00:14:48,148 --> 00:14:49,889
Stop the car.
261
00:14:52,979 --> 00:14:55,285
Give me the keys.
262
00:14:55,329 --> 00:14:57,548
Help Mr. Moneybagsout of the back there.
263
00:14:57,592 --> 00:14:58,549
And grab those goodies.
264
00:15:07,123 --> 00:15:08,646
Come on. Come on.
Move it.
265
00:15:08,690 --> 00:15:10,779
My dear man,
be reasonable.
266
00:15:10,822 --> 00:15:12,781
- Let's go.
- What have we done to you?
267
00:15:12,824 --> 00:15:14,087
We don't even know
who you are.
268
00:15:14,130 --> 00:15:15,479
Come on.
269
00:15:17,003 --> 00:15:18,265
Move it!
270
00:15:18,308 --> 00:15:19,962
- What is this about?
- Let's go!
271
00:15:20,006 --> 00:15:21,137
I'm not taking one more step
272
00:15:21,181 --> 00:15:23,009
until you tell us
what this is about.
273
00:15:23,052 --> 00:15:24,924
It's a kidnapping,
genius!
274
00:15:24,967 --> 00:15:27,448
And if you're good
and do what I tell you,
275
00:15:27,491 --> 00:15:29,145
you'll find out soon enoughwhat it will take
276
00:15:29,189 --> 00:15:30,320
to buy your freedom.
277
00:15:30,364 --> 00:15:32,409
Now, come on! Let's go!
Hurry it up!
278
00:15:32,453 --> 00:15:35,064
I'm freezing my keister off out here.
279
00:15:35,108 --> 00:15:38,198
Come on!
280
00:15:43,638 --> 00:15:45,945
Mm! Hey.
281
00:15:45,988 --> 00:15:48,077
Bless me, Father, for I have sinned!
282
00:15:48,121 --> 00:15:49,949
Be sure and tell that
283
00:15:49,992 --> 00:15:51,994
to Donna when you kiss
her hello tonight.
284
00:15:52,038 --> 00:15:53,300
Yeah, as longas I come home to her,
285
00:15:53,343 --> 00:15:55,215
that's all the wifeneed to know.
286
00:15:55,258 --> 00:15:57,304
You know I'm full of it, but you -- you got no excuse.
287
00:15:57,347 --> 00:15:59,088
No, what I got
is one last semester
288
00:15:59,132 --> 00:16:00,611
of night classes at Seton
before --
289
00:16:00,655 --> 00:16:03,005
Before you becomea big snazzy lawyer -- yeah.
290
00:16:03,049 --> 00:16:05,007
Good for you.Where you spending Christmas at?
291
00:16:05,051 --> 00:16:07,009
Or New Year's
for that matter?
292
00:16:07,053 --> 00:16:08,402
That's right --
your mama's.
293
00:16:08,445 --> 00:16:10,447
Fred, it's none
of my business,
294
00:16:10,491 --> 00:16:14,147
but I just think, you know, you deserve somebody nice.
295
00:16:14,190 --> 00:16:17,280
And Donna said, uh, Roslyn, Rosella...
296
00:16:17,324 --> 00:16:19,021
- Who she set you up with?
- Rosita.
297
00:16:19,065 --> 00:16:20,588
Her --She really liked you.
298
00:16:20,631 --> 00:16:22,242
Yeah, she's great.
299
00:16:22,285 --> 00:16:25,158
Smart, funny --
I liked her, too,
300
00:16:25,201 --> 00:16:27,029
but she's got
complications.
301
00:16:27,073 --> 00:16:29,205
A louse of an ex-husband,
a couple kids.
302
00:16:29,249 --> 00:16:31,381
- My kids love their uncle Fred.
- And I love them,
303
00:16:31,425 --> 00:16:33,644
but there's a big difference
between being an honorary uncle
304
00:16:33,688 --> 00:16:34,776
and a full-time daddy.
305
00:16:34,819 --> 00:16:36,169
Yeah, and there's a difference
306
00:16:36,212 --> 00:16:38,171
between spendingthe rest of your life alone
307
00:16:38,214 --> 00:16:40,042
and having somebody
to buy flowers for.
308
00:16:40,086 --> 00:16:42,218
Speaking of which... nothing says "Merry, merry" --
309
00:16:42,262 --> 00:16:45,004
All right, all right.
Enough, already.
310
00:16:45,047 --> 00:16:47,006
- Okay?
- I'm just sayin'.
311
00:16:47,049 --> 00:16:49,486
Yeah, well, stop sayin'.
312
00:16:55,884 --> 00:16:57,451
"Rosita."
313
00:17:03,152 --> 00:17:06,242
Now we're talkin'!
314
00:17:06,286 --> 00:17:08,201
Nothing like somefresh-made bills
315
00:17:08,244 --> 00:17:11,160
to make my holidaymerry and bright.
316
00:17:19,864 --> 00:17:21,214
Books?
317
00:17:21,257 --> 00:17:24,565
Only a cheapskate givesbooks for Christmas.
318
00:17:24,608 --> 00:17:30,223
Isn't that nice? This one's signed by the author.
319
00:17:50,156 --> 00:17:51,809
- Hello.
- Hi.
320
00:17:51,853 --> 00:17:53,115
Has Luke Reilly
arrived yet?
321
00:17:53,159 --> 00:17:55,509
Nope, andDr. Chattoway is waiting.
322
00:17:55,552 --> 00:17:59,556
- Oh, you're kidding.
- Why? He's not canceling again, is he?
323
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:01,254
No! Not at all.
324
00:18:01,297 --> 00:18:04,170
- I-I'm sure he is on his way.
- Uh-huh.
325
00:18:16,878 --> 00:18:18,662
Hello, this is Luke's
fancy phone
326
00:18:18,706 --> 00:18:20,142
that he still doesn't
know how to work.
327
00:18:20,186 --> 00:18:22,536
You know the drill. Bye.
328
00:18:22,579 --> 00:18:25,800
I'm at the dentist, Dad,
and I don'tsee you.
329
00:18:25,843 --> 00:18:27,236
You better be on your way,
330
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:28,846
or Mom's gonna becooking your goose
331
00:18:28,890 --> 00:18:29,847
for Christmas this year.
332
00:18:29,891 --> 00:18:32,894
Hurry up.
333
00:18:41,859 --> 00:18:44,297
Knock it off!
334
00:18:50,172 --> 00:18:51,434
What the Hell
is your problem?
335
00:18:51,478 --> 00:18:54,611
You bastard!
336
00:18:54,655 --> 00:18:57,005
How can you just sit therein front of that heater
337
00:18:57,048 --> 00:19:00,226
and not see that she is
shivering half to death here?
338
00:19:00,269 --> 00:19:02,315
Either turnthat heater her way,
339
00:19:02,358 --> 00:19:04,882
or you'll never see a dime
of ransom money.
340
00:19:04,926 --> 00:19:06,406
Is that right,
Mr. Bigshot?
341
00:19:06,449 --> 00:19:09,017
Well, seeing
as I got this...
342
00:19:09,060 --> 00:19:12,325
...best get
used to freezing.
343
00:19:14,370 --> 00:19:16,155
The guy was messing with me!
344
00:19:21,856 --> 00:19:23,771
What?
345
00:19:23,814 --> 00:19:26,339
Sure, sure.I get it!
346
00:19:31,257 --> 00:19:34,303
Ohh! You filthy, lousy pig!
347
00:19:34,347 --> 00:19:36,000
Yeah, yeah,
so I'm a pig.
348
00:19:36,044 --> 00:19:38,046
Keep yappin',
and I 'll gag you both again!
349
00:19:42,398 --> 00:19:44,313
Okay, okay, I'm going.
350
00:19:49,275 --> 00:19:52,103
So...
351
00:19:52,147 --> 00:19:54,715
you must be
the one in charge.
352
00:20:02,113 --> 00:20:06,074
Please... please don't hurt us.
353
00:20:06,117 --> 00:20:08,294
Shh!
354
00:20:25,876 --> 00:20:27,182
You're Regan Reilly.
355
00:20:27,226 --> 00:20:29,010
Pardon?
356
00:20:29,053 --> 00:20:30,272
You're Regan Reilly.
357
00:20:30,316 --> 00:20:32,056
Renowned private detective
from Los Angeles,
358
00:20:32,100 --> 00:20:34,755
daughter of the best-selling
crime writer, Nora Reilly,
359
00:20:34,798 --> 00:20:37,279
only child of Luke Reilly,
funeral-home owner,
360
00:20:37,323 --> 00:20:40,891
who is currently AWOL
and I'm guessing a dentophobe.
361
00:20:40,935 --> 00:20:42,066
Right?
362
00:20:42,110 --> 00:20:43,633
Uh... how do you --Have we met?
363
00:20:43,677 --> 00:20:46,941
No, no, no. Big ears.
Bigger reader.
364
00:20:46,984 --> 00:20:50,205
I'm sorry to be so nosy.
I'm a huge fan of your mother's...
365
00:20:50,249 --> 00:20:51,293
and of your good work.
366
00:20:51,337 --> 00:20:53,861
I'm -- I'm flattered.
367
00:20:53,904 --> 00:20:55,428
It's not every day I have
a celebrity sighting
368
00:20:55,471 --> 00:20:56,820
at the dentist's office.
369
00:20:58,474 --> 00:21:01,129
Well, so --
Oh, I'm Alvirah Meehan.
370
00:21:01,172 --> 00:21:02,739
Oh.
371
00:21:02,783 --> 00:21:04,480
So, I'm gonna let you --
Regan Reilly --
372
00:21:04,524 --> 00:21:06,439
get back to your... thing.
373
00:21:07,353 --> 00:21:09,572
Did you say "Meehan"?
374
00:21:09,616 --> 00:21:12,096
AlvirahMeehan?
375
00:21:12,140 --> 00:21:14,098
Yeah.
376
00:21:14,142 --> 00:21:16,318
TheAlvirah Meehan my mother has been sending me stories about
377
00:21:16,362 --> 00:21:18,059
for years who sometimes writesfor the Globe?
378
00:21:18,102 --> 00:21:20,931
The amateur sleuth with atendency to stumble upon crimes
379
00:21:20,975 --> 00:21:23,456
in progress and solve themwith uncanny ability?
380
00:21:23,499 --> 00:21:26,633
The do-gooder famous forrecording everything she hears
381
00:21:26,676 --> 00:21:28,374
on her signaturestarburst spy pin?
382
00:21:28,417 --> 00:21:30,289
Longtime cleaning woman from Queens
383
00:21:30,332 --> 00:21:32,769
who was on a midtown busreading my mother's book
384
00:21:32,813 --> 00:21:33,944
"It Could Happen To You"
385
00:21:33,988 --> 00:21:35,468
when she andher husband, Willy,
386
00:21:35,511 --> 00:21:37,208
learned thatthey had just won
387
00:21:37,252 --> 00:21:38,558
millions of dollars in the lottery?
388
00:21:38,601 --> 00:21:40,429
No.
389
00:21:40,473 --> 00:21:42,213
Never heard of her.
390
00:21:42,257 --> 00:21:45,565
So, Regan, wait.
391
00:21:45,608 --> 00:21:47,436
Your mother knows who I am?
She knows my name? Really?
392
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,309
- Oh, you fascinate her.
- Do not tease!
393
00:21:50,352 --> 00:21:52,441
Scout's honor, she has sent medozens of articles
394
00:21:52,485 --> 00:21:54,530
about your daring deeds --she's a huge fan.
395
00:21:54,574 --> 00:21:56,663
I-I'm a huge fan
of hers.
396
00:21:56,706 --> 00:21:58,317
She's not gonna believe thatI met you here at the dentist.
397
00:21:59,361 --> 00:22:00,449
Idon't believe.
398
00:22:00,493 --> 00:22:02,190
Where the heck areyou?
399
00:22:02,233 --> 00:22:03,887
Where the heck
do you think I am?
400
00:22:03,931 --> 00:22:05,324
Mom!
401
00:22:05,367 --> 00:22:07,978
Why so surprised?
Is everything okay?
402
00:22:08,022 --> 00:22:10,154
Oh, I'm... sure. Yeah.
403
00:22:10,198 --> 00:22:11,721
Why wouldn't everything... be okay?
404
00:22:11,765 --> 00:22:14,158
Uh, excuse me, madam.
Do you not see the sign?
405
00:22:14,202 --> 00:22:16,204
No cellphones
in the waiting room.
406
00:22:16,247 --> 00:22:17,423
Mother, I --
407
00:22:17,466 --> 00:22:18,511
I heard.
408
00:22:18,554 --> 00:22:20,164
I just wanted to tell you...
409
00:22:20,208 --> 00:22:22,602
that I love you --
Daddy too.
410
00:22:22,645 --> 00:22:23,994
See you at 5:00.
411
00:22:24,038 --> 00:22:25,866
Bye.I love you, too.
412
00:22:25,909 --> 00:22:27,607
Ugh. Bad accent.
413
00:22:27,650 --> 00:22:29,565
Too big? Too small?
Too pushy for my own good?
414
00:22:29,609 --> 00:22:32,220
No. It was perfect.
415
00:22:32,263 --> 00:22:34,004
It's just --where the heck is he?
416
00:22:34,048 --> 00:22:35,179
Excuse me.
417
00:22:35,223 --> 00:22:37,007
Mm-hmm.
418
00:22:40,054 --> 00:22:41,447
Garden Gate.
Austin speaking.
419
00:22:41,490 --> 00:22:44,363
Hey, Austin.
It's Regan.
420
00:22:44,406 --> 00:22:45,407
Regan.
Merry Christmas.
421
00:22:45,451 --> 00:22:47,148
Merry Christmas
to you, too.
422
00:22:47,191 --> 00:22:49,411
Is my father thereby any chance?
423
00:22:49,455 --> 00:22:51,413
I-I think he left for the
dentist about an hour ago.
424
00:22:51,457 --> 00:22:52,632
Wasn't he meeting you?
425
00:22:52,675 --> 00:22:54,547
That was the plan.I keep calling his phone.
426
00:22:54,590 --> 00:22:57,419
And all I'm gettingis voicemail.
427
00:22:57,463 --> 00:22:58,420
Is there anything
I can do?
428
00:22:58,464 --> 00:23:00,814
Yes, you can, actually.
429
00:23:00,857 --> 00:23:02,642
If you could pleasego to his computer
430
00:23:02,685 --> 00:23:04,383
and log on to his account
for me?
431
00:23:04,426 --> 00:23:05,471
Certainly.
432
00:23:05,514 --> 00:23:08,604
I installed that"find my phone" app
433
00:23:08,648 --> 00:23:10,171
on their cellphones
when they first got 'em,
434
00:23:10,214 --> 00:23:11,259
in case they lost them.
435
00:23:15,481 --> 00:23:18,179
This doesn't make
any sense.
436
00:23:18,222 --> 00:23:20,224
The app says
that your father's phone
437
00:23:20,268 --> 00:23:21,487
is around heresomewhere.
438
00:23:21,530 --> 00:23:23,140
Huh.
439
00:23:23,184 --> 00:23:24,446
Okay, I'm gonnakeep you on the line
440
00:23:24,490 --> 00:23:25,621
and call my dad's phone.
441
00:23:25,665 --> 00:23:29,495
And can you see if you cantrack his ring?
442
00:23:45,293 --> 00:23:47,643
It's in the Dumpster.
443
00:23:50,603 --> 00:23:52,082
What do you want me to do?
444
00:23:52,126 --> 00:23:53,606
Don't touch anything.
445
00:23:53,649 --> 00:23:55,477
Don't say anything to anyone.I'm on my way.
446
00:23:59,394 --> 00:24:01,527
- Yeah, I'd like a taxi --
- No, Regan.
447
00:24:01,570 --> 00:24:03,529
- We're gonna take you. We'll take you.
- What?
448
00:24:03,572 --> 00:24:06,096
Uh, hold on a second, please. "We"?
449
00:24:06,140 --> 00:24:07,663
- We.
- "We" who?
450
00:24:07,707 --> 00:24:09,665
"We" me.
451
00:24:09,709 --> 00:24:11,667
I don't know who you areor what is going on here,
452
00:24:11,711 --> 00:24:13,452
but I do know never to arguewith my wife.
453
00:24:21,590 --> 00:24:23,636
No. Regan. Listen to me, honey. It's what?
454
00:24:23,679 --> 00:24:24,985
It's three daysbefore Christmas, right?
455
00:24:25,028 --> 00:24:26,421
If you file somemissing-persons report,
456
00:24:26,465 --> 00:24:27,596
they're not gonnalook at it
457
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:29,076
till the kidshave opened, broken,
458
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:30,599
and returned their toys.
459
00:24:30,643 --> 00:24:31,774
Who can you call
who can help?
460
00:24:31,818 --> 00:24:32,514
The right guy.
461
00:24:32,558 --> 00:24:34,690
You're still here?
462
00:24:34,734 --> 00:24:36,736
Thought you'd be halfway toyour mom's Christmas ham by now.
463
00:24:36,779 --> 00:24:38,520
Aw, you haven't tasted
her cooking.
464
00:24:38,564 --> 00:24:40,914
Well, give everyoneour best, Jack.
465
00:24:40,957 --> 00:24:42,219
Oh, especially...
466
00:24:42,263 --> 00:24:43,830
My sister
doesn't date cops, Stan.
467
00:24:43,873 --> 00:24:46,528
Anybody ever tell you you'rea regular scrooge, Reilly?
468
00:24:51,315 --> 00:24:52,752
Alvirah.
469
00:24:52,795 --> 00:24:54,667
Hey.
470
00:24:57,626 --> 00:25:01,238
Ha ha! Race ya!
471
00:25:01,282 --> 00:25:02,675
I know I promised, Sal,
472
00:25:02,718 --> 00:25:04,720
but I can't just take offand leave them.
473
00:25:06,330 --> 00:25:07,462
That's her now.I'll call on my way.
474
00:25:07,506 --> 00:25:08,724
- Mommy's here!
- Mom!
475
00:25:12,249 --> 00:25:13,686
- Fred!
- Fred!
476
00:25:15,601 --> 00:25:17,080
Hey, guys.
477
00:25:17,124 --> 00:25:18,865
Is, uh, Rosita here?
478
00:25:18,908 --> 00:25:21,563
I know I should be used to your
persuasiveness, Alvirah,
479
00:25:21,607 --> 00:25:23,434
but you never cease
to amaze me.
480
00:25:23,478 --> 00:25:25,436
I mean, here I am,
way outside my jurisdiction,
481
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:27,003
- and you make one phone call?
- Regan!
482
00:25:27,047 --> 00:25:29,745
Well, you know.
His honor owed me a favor.
483
00:25:29,789 --> 00:25:31,007
Tell me this.
484
00:25:31,051 --> 00:25:32,618
How many people, otherthan the mayor's family,
485
00:25:32,661 --> 00:25:34,228
have the numberfor his private line?
486
00:25:34,271 --> 00:25:36,578
Well, if you clean a lot of
closets over the years,
487
00:25:36,622 --> 00:25:38,145
you see a lot of skeletons
you shouldn't.
488
00:25:38,188 --> 00:25:40,147
That opens doors
and gets your calls returned.
489
00:25:40,190 --> 00:25:42,584
And, thanks to the mayor,
Jersey's finest
490
00:25:42,628 --> 00:25:44,368
is lucky to have
yourhelp.
491
00:25:46,283 --> 00:25:48,547
- Willy!
- I'm hungry.
492
00:25:48,590 --> 00:25:49,591
Come on, just one.
493
00:25:49,635 --> 00:25:51,593
Okay.
494
00:25:51,637 --> 00:25:53,203
What next?
495
00:25:53,247 --> 00:25:55,379
- So, what can you tell us, Jack?
- Yeah, yeah.
496
00:25:55,423 --> 00:25:56,642
Well, CSU is running
your father's
497
00:25:56,685 --> 00:25:58,557
wallet and cellphone
for prints,
498
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:00,689
and the other cellphone came up
belonging to Rosita Alvarado.
499
00:26:00,733 --> 00:26:02,778
Dad's driver?
She's missing, too?
500
00:26:02,822 --> 00:26:05,781
Yeah. We're gonna take a run
at Rosita's ex -- Ramon.
501
00:26:05,825 --> 00:26:07,478
He's got a record --
D&D, D.U.I.
502
00:26:07,522 --> 00:26:10,307
He's a fixture at the craps
table in Atlantic city.
503
00:26:10,351 --> 00:26:12,962
ACPD are rolling to his
last known address now.
504
00:26:13,006 --> 00:26:14,355
Is there any chance
he could be --
505
00:26:14,398 --> 00:26:16,096
At Rosita's? Yeah.
506
00:26:16,139 --> 00:26:18,185
We've asked the state police
to send a car for a look-see.
507
00:26:18,228 --> 00:26:19,708
According to Mr. Grady,
508
00:26:19,752 --> 00:26:21,492
she's raising
their two kids solo.
509
00:26:21,536 --> 00:26:23,451
So, most likely
they're with the babysitter,
510
00:26:23,494 --> 00:26:24,626
a Nicole Parma.
511
00:26:24,670 --> 00:26:25,801
Does that ring any bells?
512
00:26:25,845 --> 00:26:28,717
No.But I barely know Rosita.
513
00:26:28,761 --> 00:26:31,285
Did Austin --um, Mr. Grady --
514
00:26:31,328 --> 00:26:32,460
get you the limo'slicense plate
515
00:26:32,503 --> 00:26:33,896
and the Z-Pass numbersI requested?
516
00:26:33,940 --> 00:26:35,898
Yeah, and they've got
an APB out on the limo,
517
00:26:35,942 --> 00:26:37,465
and the Z-Pass
was picked up
518
00:26:37,508 --> 00:26:39,075
crossing the G.W.
into Manhattan.
519
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:41,382
And aren't there cameras
on all the bridges and tunnels?
520
00:26:41,425 --> 00:26:42,644
Since 9/11,
yeah, you bet.
521
00:26:42,688 --> 00:26:44,428
So I 've got
my best man running tape
522
00:26:44,472 --> 00:26:46,866
trying to match what the bridge camera picked up
523
00:26:46,909 --> 00:26:47,954
to the Z-Pass,
and maybe we'll get lucky.
524
00:26:47,997 --> 00:26:50,783
- Great. Good.
- Grady also clued me in
525
00:26:50,826 --> 00:26:52,785
to a former employee,
Charlie Johnson,
526
00:26:52,828 --> 00:26:54,874
who showed up very drunk,
very uninvited,
527
00:26:54,917 --> 00:26:56,615
to the office
Christmas party.
528
00:26:56,658 --> 00:26:59,443
Oh, Johnson. Right.
529
00:26:59,487 --> 00:27:01,054
Dad fired himfor using one of the limos
530
00:27:01,097 --> 00:27:03,099
as a private car serviceon the weekends.
531
00:27:03,143 --> 00:27:05,145
That's the one.
532
00:27:05,188 --> 00:27:07,016
Well, apparently,
he and Rosita remained friendly after he got the ax,
533
00:27:07,060 --> 00:27:09,889
and she ushered him
out of there pretty quickly.
534
00:27:09,932 --> 00:27:11,847
But the most interesting
hit that we got
535
00:27:11,891 --> 00:27:13,153
was from the funeral home
security camera.
536
00:27:13,196 --> 00:27:16,156
You guys are gonna
want to see this.
537
00:27:16,199 --> 00:27:20,377
Now, as per Mr. Grady, the Santas arriving
538
00:27:20,421 --> 00:27:23,424
for the Goodloe funeral are volunteers at Jingle Book House,
539
00:27:23,467 --> 00:27:24,817
coming to paytheir respects.
540
00:27:24,860 --> 00:27:26,427
Yeah, my folks
are big supporters.
541
00:27:26,470 --> 00:27:29,125
Yeah. Well, the old manleft the charity $50 million.
542
00:27:29,169 --> 00:27:30,866
Wow.
543
00:27:30,910 --> 00:27:35,871
But one of the Santas
did not go inside -- see here?
544
00:27:35,915 --> 00:27:38,657
He gets into the limo
before your father
545
00:27:38,700 --> 00:27:40,702
and Mrs. Alvarado
step outside.
546
00:27:42,878 --> 00:27:46,099
After this van moves,
there's no trace of the limo.
547
00:27:49,580 --> 00:27:51,408
Can I get a copy of that?
548
00:27:51,452 --> 00:27:53,802
Yeah. Already done.
549
00:27:53,846 --> 00:27:56,370
Oh. Thanks.
550
00:27:56,413 --> 00:27:59,939
The poor kid.
551
00:27:59,982 --> 00:28:02,071
Her and her dad are due homewithin the hour.
552
00:28:02,115 --> 00:28:04,508
Her mother is laid upwith a broken leg.
553
00:28:04,552 --> 00:28:06,075
It's three daystill Christmas,
554
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:07,860
and now she has
to go home...
555
00:28:07,903 --> 00:28:09,688
...and tell her mom this?
556
00:28:09,731 --> 00:28:11,080
I mean, it just --it breaks your heart.
557
00:28:11,124 --> 00:28:15,389
Well, if anyone can find
a silver lining in this,
558
00:28:15,432 --> 00:28:17,043
it's you, Alvirah.
559
00:28:34,887 --> 00:28:37,106
Okay. Here we are.Good.
560
00:28:37,150 --> 00:28:38,891
I really appreciate
everything you've done.
561
00:28:38,934 --> 00:28:40,588
Oh, not at all.
562
00:28:40,631 --> 00:28:43,373
I think it's best
if I go in alone
563
00:28:43,417 --> 00:28:44,897
to break the news to Mom.
564
00:28:44,940 --> 00:28:46,159
You sure?
565
00:28:46,202 --> 00:28:48,857
Oh, no. Of course.
Of course. Yeah, go.
566
00:28:48,901 --> 00:28:50,990
And if you need anything --anything --
567
00:28:51,033 --> 00:28:52,382
you're gonna ask, right?
568
00:28:52,426 --> 00:28:53,383
Yeah.
569
00:28:53,427 --> 00:28:54,907
Anything.
570
00:28:58,475 --> 00:28:59,607
All right.
571
00:28:59,650 --> 00:29:01,957
Okay.
572
00:29:03,698 --> 00:29:07,876
Well, feel like trying
one of those Jersey diners?
573
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,313
It's so sad.It's the holidays.
574
00:29:10,357 --> 00:29:11,793
- Wait a minute --
- And it's her mother.
575
00:29:11,837 --> 00:29:13,186
Here come
the waterworks.
576
00:29:13,229 --> 00:29:14,796
- And her father --
- Honey, honey.
577
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:16,537
She's so sweet.
578
00:29:16,580 --> 00:29:18,800
You know what?
You take things too personally sometimes.
579
00:29:18,844 --> 00:29:20,106
- That's all.
- And you're surprised?
580
00:29:20,149 --> 00:29:21,803
No, no,
I'm not surprised.
581
00:29:21,847 --> 00:29:23,500
It's one of the many reasons
I love you. Hmm?
582
00:29:23,544 --> 00:29:26,373
Oh, that's sweet.
583
00:29:27,896 --> 00:29:31,944
What's that?
584
00:29:31,987 --> 00:29:33,336
- Where is that?
- I think it's...
585
00:29:33,380 --> 00:29:34,381
Oh.
586
00:29:35,861 --> 00:29:37,210
Oh, wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
587
00:29:37,253 --> 00:29:38,254
Don't answer it.
588
00:29:38,298 --> 00:29:39,821
- I know.
- Don't answer it.
589
00:29:39,865 --> 00:29:40,866
- I won't.
- Don't answer it!
590
00:29:40,909 --> 00:29:42,824
- Hello?
- Okay.
591
00:29:42,868 --> 00:29:45,087
If you want to see
your father again,
592
00:29:45,131 --> 00:29:47,742
you have 24 hours
to get me $5 million.
593
00:29:47,786 --> 00:29:49,788
I will call with instructions
594
00:29:49,831 --> 00:29:52,442
on where to make
the drop tomorrow.
595
00:29:52,486 --> 00:29:54,662
Call the cops
and he's dead.
596
00:29:57,099 --> 00:29:58,318

All I want is to be a lot
prettier than my best friend,

00:30:56,767 --> 00:30:58,117
Monica.
615
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:01,120
She's, like,
so full of herself.
616
00:31:04,166 --> 00:31:08,823
I knew you'd understand.
617
00:31:10,999 --> 00:31:13,262
When mom gets home,
618
00:31:13,306 --> 00:31:16,135
I'm gonna tell her youshould be our sitter from now on.
619
00:31:16,178 --> 00:31:17,527
Yeah.
620
00:31:17,571 --> 00:31:19,921
All our sitter ever does
is yak on the phone
621
00:31:19,965 --> 00:31:21,009
and tell us to shush.
622
00:31:23,316 --> 00:31:26,014
Hey. Would you guyslike to do me a favor?
623
00:31:26,058 --> 00:31:27,798
Why don't yougo grab that, uh,
624
00:31:27,842 --> 00:31:29,800
checker gameyou were telling me about
625
00:31:29,844 --> 00:31:31,846
and go and set it upin the kitchen?
626
00:31:31,890 --> 00:31:34,022
- I'll get it!
- No, me!
627
00:31:41,464 --> 00:31:43,075
Tell me Rosita 's okay.
628
00:31:43,118 --> 00:31:44,859
We've got bad news.
629
00:31:51,344 --> 00:31:54,042
Call the cops,
and he's dead.
630
00:31:54,086 --> 00:31:55,522
See? In the background,
631
00:31:55,565 --> 00:31:56,915
it was like a whooshing sound.
632
00:31:56,958 --> 00:31:58,917
Yeah, play just
that last part again.
633
00:32:00,962 --> 00:32:02,746
See? It's most pronounced --
634
00:32:02,790 --> 00:32:04,139
- Just as the call ends.
- Yeah.
635
00:32:04,183 --> 00:32:05,924
Lieutenant Saito just said the same thing.
636
00:32:05,967 --> 00:32:07,708
He's gonna take the file
you uploaded
637
00:32:07,751 --> 00:32:09,231
and run it through
a spectrum analyzer,
638
00:32:09,275 --> 00:32:10,972
see if we can get
an I.D. on it.
639
00:32:11,016 --> 00:32:14,280
Whoever this... reprobate is,
640
00:32:14,323 --> 00:32:16,978
he certainly has
a miserable cold.
641
00:32:17,022 --> 00:32:18,327
How did your call go?
642
00:32:18,371 --> 00:32:20,982
Other than my broker
being a bit too curious?
643
00:32:21,026 --> 00:32:22,723
Any red flags?
644
00:32:22,766 --> 00:32:25,987
No. $5 million in stocks
will be converted to cash
645
00:32:26,031 --> 00:32:27,597
and in my money market
tomorrow morning.
646
00:32:27,641 --> 00:32:29,164
I'll have my team
coordinate the transfer
647
00:32:29,208 --> 00:32:30,774
through
the federal reserve.
648
00:32:30,818 --> 00:32:32,646
That way,
all the ransom money is logged and tagged.
649
00:32:32,689 --> 00:32:36,432
That's fine, detective, but let's be crystal clear.
650
00:32:36,476 --> 00:32:38,782
The money is replaceable.
651
00:32:38,826 --> 00:32:41,220
Luke and Rosita are not.
652
00:32:42,134 --> 00:32:45,528
Wow. That is so Nora Reilly.
653
00:32:45,572 --> 00:32:49,010
Just the poise under fire, the clarity, the passion.
654
00:32:49,054 --> 00:32:51,752
It's like one of the charactersin your books.
655
00:32:51,795 --> 00:32:53,145
Come and get it,
folks!
656
00:32:53,188 --> 00:32:54,537
Sharp minds
need nourishment
657
00:32:54,581 --> 00:32:57,236
to keep from
going off the rails.
658
00:33:11,990 --> 00:33:15,167
They're so little,
Mr. Reilly.
659
00:33:15,210 --> 00:33:17,169
And with their grandmaback in Puerto Rico,
660
00:33:17,212 --> 00:33:18,474
I have to use a sitter --
661
00:33:18,518 --> 00:33:21,260
Rosita, uh,
I'm sure that my family
662
00:33:21,303 --> 00:33:24,045
is already taking care
of Chris and Bobby.
663
00:33:24,089 --> 00:33:27,266
The ransom will be paid.
664
00:33:27,309 --> 00:33:29,268
I promise.
You'll be home soon.
665
00:33:29,311 --> 00:33:30,573
But how can you know?
666
00:33:30,617 --> 00:33:32,923
How can you be surethat these men won't --
667
00:33:32,967 --> 00:33:34,360
Because all they want
is money.
668
00:33:34,403 --> 00:33:37,798
- What if they --
- They won't.
669
00:33:37,841 --> 00:33:40,409
They'll take the money,
and we can't identify them.
670
00:33:40,453 --> 00:33:42,063
It'll be okay.
671
00:33:42,107 --> 00:33:50,941

Nora loves Alvin.
675
00:34:13,007 --> 00:34:14,052

Nora's hungry. Nora's hungry.
678
00:34:39,468 --> 00:34:42,471
Prints on both cellphones
produced no hits.
679
00:34:42,515 --> 00:34:44,604
And the photo taken
on the G.W.
680
00:34:44,647 --> 00:34:48,260
captured the suspect
in his Santa disguise.
681
00:34:48,303 --> 00:34:50,044
Do you recognize this man?
682
00:34:50,088 --> 00:34:52,220
This couldbe the same lowlifefrom the surveillance footage.
683
00:34:52,264 --> 00:34:53,874
That is, if I could see him.
684
00:34:53,917 --> 00:34:55,354
Print quality blows, Lieutenant.
685
00:34:55,397 --> 00:34:57,573
It's a fax of a fax
of a photo.
686
00:34:57,617 --> 00:35:00,228
I'm working on getting
the original.
687
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:02,926
I'll... work faster.
688
00:35:02,970 --> 00:35:05,103
Any luckwith my recording?
689
00:35:05,146 --> 00:35:06,104
Yeah. And then some.
690
00:35:06,147 --> 00:35:08,106
Take a listen.
691
00:35:08,149 --> 00:35:10,151
I will call
with instructions
692
00:35:10,195 --> 00:35:11,674
- on where to make the drop tomorrow.
- You hear it?
693
00:35:11,718 --> 00:35:13,894
That's the sound
of jet engines.
694
00:35:13,937 --> 00:35:15,939
Based on where the photo
was taken,
695
00:35:15,983 --> 00:35:18,116
I'm guessing JFK or LaGuardia.
696
00:35:19,552 --> 00:35:22,903
I can't do this
radio interview tomorrow.
697
00:35:22,946 --> 00:35:25,210
Oh, of course.You're right, Mom.
698
00:35:25,253 --> 00:35:26,776
I'm not so sure
she is right, Regan.
699
00:35:26,820 --> 00:35:28,343
What do you mean?
700
00:35:28,387 --> 00:35:29,953
Well, honey, I know you're justtrying to protect your mom,
701
00:35:29,997 --> 00:35:31,259
but hear me out.
702
00:35:31,303 --> 00:35:33,348
All right,
you've had this interview --
703
00:35:33,392 --> 00:35:35,220
it's been promoted for likethree weeks now, right?
704
00:35:35,263 --> 00:35:36,612
To coincide with the publicationof your new book --
705
00:35:36,656 --> 00:35:39,311
one that your fans know
you do every single year
706
00:35:39,354 --> 00:35:40,747
to promote
Jingle Book House.
707
00:35:40,790 --> 00:35:42,227
If you cancel,
708
00:35:42,270 --> 00:35:44,142
we don't know how the kidnappers will react.
709
00:35:44,185 --> 00:35:45,969
I mean, they may think it's
a sign of police involvement.
710
00:35:46,013 --> 00:35:47,188
I don't know.
711
00:35:47,232 --> 00:35:48,842
She's right, Mom.
712
00:35:48,885 --> 00:35:52,019
Mm-hmm. And you made that exactpoint in "Rock-A-Bye Me Deadly."
713
00:35:52,062 --> 00:35:53,934
I did! I did!
714
00:35:53,977 --> 00:35:56,980
Precisely that, Alvirah!
715
00:35:57,024 --> 00:35:59,809
Ohh. I can't focus.
I just...
716
00:35:59,853 --> 00:36:01,289
Hey, what aboutCharlie Johnson,
717
00:36:01,333 --> 00:36:03,161
the guy who crashedthe office party?
718
00:36:03,204 --> 00:36:04,553
After talking
to his neighbors,
719
00:36:04,597 --> 00:36:06,903
I learned Charlie 's
been on a serious bender
720
00:36:06,947 --> 00:36:08,644
for most of
the last year.
721
00:36:08,688 --> 00:36:10,168
We're staking out
his favorite haunts.
722
00:36:10,211 --> 00:36:11,343
What about surveillance footage
723
00:36:11,386 --> 00:36:12,779
from the Garden Gateparking lot?
724
00:36:12,822 --> 00:36:14,084
Any leads there?
725
00:36:14,128 --> 00:36:15,347
I forwarded it
to the FBI.
726
00:36:15,390 --> 00:36:17,131
Maybe we'll get lucky.
727
00:36:17,175 --> 00:36:18,263
I think we just did.
728
00:36:18,306 --> 00:36:20,134
Rosita's ex, Ramon?
729
00:36:20,178 --> 00:36:21,831
Atlantic city police
haven't found him yet.
730
00:36:21,875 --> 00:36:23,746
He hasn't been at his lastknown address in months.
731
00:36:23,790 --> 00:36:26,227
But... they've confirmedthat he's in deep
732
00:36:26,271 --> 00:36:29,012
to a mobbed-up loan sharkto the tune of 200 grand.
733
00:36:29,056 --> 00:36:30,275
They put a hit out on him?
734
00:36:30,318 --> 00:36:31,667
That would explain him
going underground.
735
00:36:31,711 --> 00:36:34,192
And there is
your motive, right?
736
00:36:34,235 --> 00:36:35,758
If they do find Ramon,
737
00:36:35,802 --> 00:36:38,413
we'll put him
under surveillance,
738
00:36:38,457 --> 00:36:40,502
hopefully he'll lead us
right to Luke and Rosita.
739
00:36:40,546 --> 00:36:43,070
Which brings up
the really ugly question.
740
00:36:43,113 --> 00:36:44,419
If Ramon is the kidnapper,
741
00:36:44,463 --> 00:36:47,161
could Rosita possibly be
an inside accomplice?
742
00:36:47,205 --> 00:36:48,336
That's impossible.
743
00:36:48,380 --> 00:36:50,077
Mom, we have to examineevery angle.
744
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:51,774
You don't know her,
I do.
745
00:36:51,818 --> 00:36:54,081
She is not involved. Not Rosita.
She's a good mother.
746
00:36:54,124 --> 00:36:56,823
Maybe, but you haven't seen whatI've seen, actually lived it.
747
00:36:56,866 --> 00:37:01,393
Look, I know you researchevery crime, every criminal.
748
00:37:01,436 --> 00:37:03,699
You write with knowledgeand passion,
749
00:37:03,743 --> 00:37:07,703
but... no one really livesor dies in your world, Mom.
750
00:37:07,747 --> 00:37:10,489
I mean, you'd be shockedat the number of good people
751
00:37:10,532 --> 00:37:11,925
that I 've had to put awayfor doing very bad things,
752
00:37:11,968 --> 00:37:14,841
and right now the only thinglinking Charlie and Ramon
753
00:37:14,884 --> 00:37:16,277
to any of this is Rosita.
754
00:37:16,321 --> 00:37:18,801
Well, I still
think you're wrong.
755
00:37:18,845 --> 00:37:21,717
I hope you're right,
but we have to know.
756
00:37:21,761 --> 00:37:25,286
Which leaves us
with Rosita's children.
757
00:37:25,330 --> 00:37:27,593
Somebody has to interview
those kids.
758
00:37:27,636 --> 00:37:29,899
Oh.
759
00:37:39,257 --> 00:37:41,389
Okay, okay.I'm sorry I'm late.
760
00:37:41,433 --> 00:37:43,696
You knowI had stops to make.
761
00:37:47,352 --> 00:37:49,484
You suregot off easy today.
762
00:37:49,528 --> 00:37:52,748
Traffic was so badwhen I ditched the limo,
763
00:37:52,792 --> 00:37:57,318
that I'd still be stuck in itif I wasn't in the Z-Pass lane.
764
00:37:58,363 --> 00:37:59,538
What?
765
00:38:06,545 --> 00:38:08,373
Did you hear that,
Mr. R?
766
00:38:08,416 --> 00:38:12,159
Yes. I know.
He used the Z-Pass.
767
00:38:12,202 --> 00:38:16,119
That dummy may have just done us a big favor.
768
00:38:16,163 --> 00:38:17,295
Oh, I hope so.
769
00:38:17,338 --> 00:38:18,339
No way that'll happen.
770
00:38:18,383 --> 00:38:21,081
Besides, I wiped it downwith bleach,
771
00:38:21,124 --> 00:38:23,518
exactly as you
wrote it down.
772
00:38:23,562 --> 00:38:26,869
I left the phone
like I was supposed to.
773
00:39:02,340 --> 00:39:05,386
Eggs? Uh, cheese...
774
00:39:05,430 --> 00:39:07,954
Tuna salad. Come on.Something's got to sound good.
775
00:39:09,347 --> 00:39:11,000
- Mommy!
- Mommy!
776
00:39:11,044 --> 00:39:13,351
Boys, let me --let me get that.
777
00:39:13,394 --> 00:39:16,484
Who wants pizza?
778
00:39:16,528 --> 00:39:18,965
- Pizza! Yay!
- Pizza! Whoo-hoo!
779
00:39:19,008 --> 00:39:23,404
So, you boys are used to your
mommy working late for my dad?
780
00:39:23,448 --> 00:39:25,363
Uh-huh, 'cause then mommybrings home cookies
781
00:39:25,406 --> 00:39:26,581
and even presents.
782
00:39:26,625 --> 00:39:27,974
Presents?
783
00:39:28,017 --> 00:39:29,497
Like the kind of presents
that Santa brings?
784
00:39:29,541 --> 00:39:32,108
No.Mom calls them "swagie."
785
00:39:32,152 --> 00:39:34,763
Oh, yeah.
That's not what Santa brings.
786
00:39:34,807 --> 00:39:37,636
So what do you want
this year from Santa?
787
00:39:37,679 --> 00:39:39,202
We want a tree!
788
00:39:39,246 --> 00:39:40,726
Yeah, uncle Fred said he'd take us.
789
00:39:40,769 --> 00:39:43,337
He's not really our uncle, but he's cool.
790
00:39:43,381 --> 00:39:44,382
He knows Santa, too.
791
00:39:44,425 --> 00:39:45,948
I bet he does.
792
00:39:45,992 --> 00:39:47,907
And what else are you gonna ask for for Christmas?
793
00:39:47,950 --> 00:39:49,691
- Hmm.
- Come on.
794
00:39:49,735 --> 00:39:51,389
There's got to be something else that you want.
795
00:39:51,432 --> 00:39:53,391
How about...
796
00:39:53,434 --> 00:39:54,479
A truck!
797
00:39:54,522 --> 00:39:56,045
Yeah, our daddrives a truck.
798
00:39:56,089 --> 00:39:57,307
He does.
799
00:39:57,351 --> 00:39:58,613
But he doesn't livewith us anymore.
800
00:39:58,657 --> 00:39:59,832
He had to move for work.
801
00:39:59,875 --> 00:40:02,008
Mommy sayswe can ask Santa for a truck,
802
00:40:02,051 --> 00:40:03,444
but not for Daddy.
803
00:40:03,488 --> 00:40:05,185
We're not allowed
to ask for people.
804
00:40:05,228 --> 00:40:06,926
Oh, you miss him, huh?
805
00:40:06,969 --> 00:40:12,148
Uh-huh, I'm gonna ask Santa if he can help Daddycome home anyhow.
806
00:40:12,192 --> 00:40:15,630
I won't tell mommy.
807
00:40:15,674 --> 00:40:19,460
I-I know proceduremandates that I callsocial services,
808
00:40:19,504 --> 00:40:21,462
but withtheir mom missing
809
00:40:21,506 --> 00:40:24,770
and their sad excuseof a father in the wind,
810
00:40:24,813 --> 00:40:27,903
I... I just couldn't do itto them.
811
00:40:27,947 --> 00:40:30,558
And the sitter wasn't
the least bit concerned
812
00:40:30,602 --> 00:40:31,646
about just leaving?
813
00:40:31,690 --> 00:40:32,647
She offered to stay,
814
00:40:32,691 --> 00:40:34,606
but when she learnedI was a cop,
815
00:40:34,649 --> 00:40:36,564
and since the boysknew who I was,
816
00:40:36,608 --> 00:40:38,479
she took off.
817
00:40:38,523 --> 00:40:41,526
Look, I-I knowit sounds crazy,
818
00:40:41,569 --> 00:40:43,702
but I justkept thinking --
819
00:40:43,745 --> 00:40:46,922
hoping that Rosita was just...
820
00:40:46,966 --> 00:40:48,533
delayed, you know?
821
00:40:48,576 --> 00:40:51,057
That she'd come walkingthrough that door any minute
822
00:40:51,100 --> 00:40:52,624
and find me, of all people...
823
00:40:52,667 --> 00:40:54,582
Fred, believe me,
it's gonna be fine.
824
00:40:54,626 --> 00:40:55,801
All right?
825
00:40:55,844 --> 00:40:57,455
Your captain
asked me to tell you
826
00:40:57,498 --> 00:40:59,065
you have
his full support, okay?
827
00:40:59,108 --> 00:41:00,283
It's settled, then?
828
00:41:00,327 --> 00:41:01,633
I can stay herewith Chris and Bobby
829
00:41:01,676 --> 00:41:03,373
until Rosita's backsafe and sound?
830
00:41:03,417 --> 00:41:04,723
Oh, yeah, in fact,
you being here
831
00:41:04,766 --> 00:41:06,420
has become key
to our investigation.
832
00:41:06,464 --> 00:41:08,074
How's that?
833
00:41:08,117 --> 00:41:12,513
What do you know about Rosita's ex-husband Ramon?
834
00:41:12,557 --> 00:41:16,648
Please tell mehe's not the perp.
835
00:41:26,788 --> 00:41:30,313
So, I got the lowdown on Ramon and Rosita from Fred.
836
00:41:30,357 --> 00:41:32,881
Pregnant, married straight out of high school,
837
00:41:32,925 --> 00:41:34,666
and apparently straight
downhill from there.
838
00:41:34,709 --> 00:41:36,537
Does Fred thinkRosita could be dirty?
839
00:41:36,581 --> 00:41:37,756
Well, what do youthink?
840
00:41:37,799 --> 00:41:39,758
Ramon left in the middle
of the night.
841
00:41:39,801 --> 00:41:41,586
Right, never sent them a dime.
How about that?
842
00:41:41,629 --> 00:41:43,413
Well, I thinkI owe my motheran apology.
843
00:41:43,457 --> 00:41:44,676
Yeah, we both do.
844
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:45,981
Honey, I can smell
the onions from here!
845
00:41:46,025 --> 00:41:47,679
I like onions!
846
00:41:50,029 --> 00:41:52,074
I hope I haven't kept youwaiting too long.
847
00:41:52,118 --> 00:41:54,512
No, not at all.
Thanks for coming.
848
00:41:54,555 --> 00:41:56,688
I just wanted to get
my dad's laptop.
849
00:41:56,731 --> 00:42:00,256
Cuthbert Boniface Goodloe?
850
00:42:00,300 --> 00:42:01,736
Oh, was this the funeral
851
00:42:01,780 --> 00:42:04,130
that attracted all the
Jingle Book House mourners?
852
00:42:04,173 --> 00:42:07,394
Yes. He was a kind
and generous man.
853
00:42:07,437 --> 00:42:09,701
Were there any actualfamily members
854
00:42:09,744 --> 00:42:11,877
among all thosevolunteer Santas?
855
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:14,444
A nephew,
Cuthbert Boniface Dingle.
856
00:42:14,488 --> 00:42:16,403
He took the loss
quite hard.
857
00:42:16,446 --> 00:42:18,231
First chance we get,
858
00:42:18,274 --> 00:42:20,102
we should pay our condolences to Mr.
Dingle.
859
00:42:29,808 --> 00:42:32,201
After the police
were through,
860
00:42:32,245 --> 00:42:34,160
I-I didn't know what to do.
861
00:42:34,203 --> 00:42:37,990
Well, I-I didn't know
it was allowed, and...
862
00:42:39,774 --> 00:42:41,559
who would like
a nice cup of tea?
863
00:42:41,602 --> 00:42:43,038
I'll take you up
on that.
864
00:42:43,082 --> 00:42:44,126
Thank you, Austin.
865
00:42:46,259 --> 00:42:48,827
Oh, it's Jack.
You go on ahead. I'll catch up.
866
00:42:48,870 --> 00:42:50,393
Hey, Jack.
867
00:42:50,437 --> 00:42:52,570
- Good news, Alvirah.
- What?
868
00:42:52,613 --> 00:42:54,572
Saito got a clean photo
off the G.W.
869
00:42:54,615 --> 00:42:56,051
- Oh, well, that's great.
- It should be in your e-mail now.
870
00:42:56,095 --> 00:42:58,576
Yes. Please thank
Lieutenant Saito for me.
871
00:44:08,123 --> 00:44:10,256
Upon examination
of the actual footage
872
00:44:10,299 --> 00:44:13,259
captured by the security camerason the George Washington bridge,
873
00:44:13,302 --> 00:44:16,349
I now see that unlike all the others dressed as Santa
874
00:44:16,392 --> 00:44:20,222
who attended the funeral,
the suspect is not wearing
875
00:44:20,266 --> 00:44:23,573
a Jingle Book House
volunteer insignia pin.
876
00:44:23,617 --> 00:44:27,316
Which leads me to conclude
he was notan invited guest,
877
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:28,753
but an imposter,
878
00:44:28,796 --> 00:44:32,800
who knew if he showed up
in that disguise,
879
00:44:32,844 --> 00:44:34,323
he would blend in.
880
00:44:34,367 --> 00:44:36,935
Meaning he had prior knowledge
of the large contingent
881
00:44:36,978 --> 00:44:39,720
of Jingle Book House Santas
expected to attend,
882
00:44:39,764 --> 00:44:43,463
leaving the kidnapper
confident
883
00:44:43,506 --> 00:44:49,469
that at this funeral on this day in this disguise
884
00:44:49,512 --> 00:44:55,910
was his very best chance
to stage the perfect crime.
885
00:45:38,300 --> 00:45:40,999
Number one fan.
Number one fan.
886
00:45:41,042 --> 00:45:44,306
Nora likes a winner.
Nora likes a winner.
887
00:45:49,834 --> 00:45:53,794
Hey. Morning.
Hope you boys are hungry.
888
00:45:53,838 --> 00:45:57,450
Made my special --
chocolate chip pancakes!
889
00:45:57,493 --> 00:45:59,452
- Yes!
- Is Mommy home yet?
890
00:45:59,495 --> 00:46:00,670
She already left for work.
891
00:46:00,714 --> 00:46:01,889
We missed her?
892
00:46:01,933 --> 00:46:04,979
But, since she had
to leave really early,
893
00:46:05,023 --> 00:46:07,808
I promised her,
right after breakfast,
894
00:46:07,852 --> 00:46:09,418
Christmas-tree time.
895
00:46:09,462 --> 00:46:10,419
- Huh?
- Whoo-hoo!
896
00:46:10,463 --> 00:46:12,334
- Yeah!
- Yes!
897
00:46:15,990 --> 00:46:17,949
Charlie Johnson, how you doing?
898
00:46:17,992 --> 00:46:19,515
I don't know any Charlie.
899
00:46:19,559 --> 00:46:21,039
Oh, sure you do.Come on.
900
00:46:21,082 --> 00:46:21,996
We metthrough Luke Reilly.
901
00:46:23,868 --> 00:46:26,784
What's your relationship
with Rosita Alvarado?
902
00:46:26,827 --> 00:46:28,263
We got no relationship.
903
00:46:28,307 --> 00:46:31,658
Rosita's the only onethat didn't treat me like crap
904
00:46:31,701 --> 00:46:32,964
after I got the boot.
905
00:46:33,007 --> 00:46:35,401
She's a nice lady, that's all.
906
00:46:35,444 --> 00:46:37,925
Come on. I got things to do.You got nothing to hold me on.
907
00:46:37,969 --> 00:46:39,579
We got you
resisting arrest.
908
00:46:39,622 --> 00:46:41,407
Why don't we start with that
and see where it takes us?
909
00:46:41,450 --> 00:46:43,583
I'm supposed to believethe head of Major Crimes
910
00:46:43,626 --> 00:46:46,064
is out rustling rummiesfor unpaid parking tickets?
911
00:46:46,107 --> 00:46:47,892
Even I'm not that stupid.
912
00:46:47,935 --> 00:46:51,591
Assault.
Auto theft. Larceny.
913
00:46:51,634 --> 00:46:53,854
I don't see a lot of unpaid parking tickets here.
914
00:46:53,898 --> 00:46:56,335
I'm thinking
that maybe this week,
915
00:46:56,378 --> 00:46:58,424
you decided to make
the jump to the bigs.
916
00:47:00,992 --> 00:47:03,864
One black, two cream,
one sugar.
917
00:47:03,908 --> 00:47:05,910
How'd it go
with your suspect?
918
00:47:05,953 --> 00:47:08,216
Well, we got him on that
bodega robbery in Brooklyn
919
00:47:08,260 --> 00:47:09,914
we were trying to clear
last Saturday,
920
00:47:09,957 --> 00:47:11,916
but Charlie is definitely not our kidnapper.
921
00:47:11,959 --> 00:47:13,743
Well, we did get
some good news.
922
00:47:13,787 --> 00:47:16,007
It seems your volunteer
detective came through again.
923
00:47:16,050 --> 00:47:17,095
- Alvirah?
- Yeah.
924
00:47:17,138 --> 00:47:19,097
I don't thinkshe ever sleeps.
925
00:47:19,140 --> 00:47:21,621
She e-mailed me an audio fileway past midnight
926
00:47:21,664 --> 00:47:24,580
on the same Santa photoMiss Reilly busted my ass over.
927
00:47:24,624 --> 00:47:26,017
She was spot on the money
928
00:47:26,060 --> 00:47:28,715
that our perp was the only Santa present
929
00:47:28,758 --> 00:47:29,934
not wearinga Jingle Book House pin.
930
00:47:29,977 --> 00:47:31,152
Which, it turns out,
you can't buy
931
00:47:31,196 --> 00:47:32,893
through making
a donation --
932
00:47:32,937 --> 00:47:34,373
only by putting your butt
out in the cold
933
00:47:34,416 --> 00:47:35,940
and working those corners.
934
00:47:35,983 --> 00:47:37,724
Alvirah also said something about
935
00:47:37,767 --> 00:47:40,553
the suspect having detailsof the funeral
936
00:47:40,596 --> 00:47:41,902
he could useto his advantage,
937
00:47:41,946 --> 00:47:43,251
an angle she's running downthis morning
938
00:47:43,295 --> 00:47:45,906
in the hopethat a guest noticedor might even know
939
00:47:45,950 --> 00:47:47,908
the phony Santa and could help I.D. him.
940
00:47:47,952 --> 00:47:49,301
Okay,
running down how?
941
00:47:49,344 --> 00:47:51,869
She and Miss Reilly are paying a visit
942
00:47:51,912 --> 00:47:54,436
to a Mr. Dingle, nephew of the deceased.
943
00:47:56,612 --> 00:47:58,136
This is Saito.
944
00:47:58,179 --> 00:48:00,399
Hey, speaking
of Regan Reilly --
945
00:48:00,442 --> 00:48:01,791
Yeah,
don't even go there.
946
00:48:01,835 --> 00:48:04,969
She packs a Glock 26, Jack.
947
00:48:05,012 --> 00:48:07,101
- She's amazing...
- Yeah, well...
948
00:48:07,145 --> 00:48:09,321
...at her job.
949
00:48:09,364 --> 00:48:12,063
Okay? So why don't you go wash
your mind out with some soap?
950
00:48:12,106 --> 00:48:15,544
Limo turned up abandoned
near LaGuardia.
951
00:48:15,588 --> 00:48:18,373
CSU's en route.
952
00:49:19,869 --> 00:49:21,654
Willy, how many timeshave I asked you,
953
00:49:21,697 --> 00:49:22,785
just get directions, honey!
954
00:49:22,829 --> 00:49:24,657
We could have savedso much time.
955
00:49:24,700 --> 00:49:27,399
- I mean, how in the world did you ever manage...
- Alvirah --
956
00:49:27,442 --> 00:49:29,140
- ...to run your own plumbing company...
- Sweetie --
957
00:49:29,183 --> 00:49:30,402
...with your lackof organization?
958
00:49:30,445 --> 00:49:32,752
It's just beyond me.
959
00:49:32,795 --> 00:49:34,667
Take as long as you'd like, sweetheart.
960
00:49:34,710 --> 00:49:37,061
Honey, we should have
done this years ago.
961
00:49:40,455 --> 00:49:41,804
Hey, Jack.
962
00:49:41,848 --> 00:49:43,241
Just wanted to let you know
we got the limo.
963
00:49:43,284 --> 00:49:44,503
We're going
through it now.
964
00:49:44,546 --> 00:49:45,634
They have the limo.
965
00:49:45,678 --> 00:49:47,941
Is Miss Regan Reilly
available?
966
00:49:47,985 --> 00:49:49,812
Is Miss Regan
Reilly available?
967
00:49:49,856 --> 00:49:51,249
Yes, she is.
968
00:49:51,292 --> 00:49:55,514
Hello, Detective Jack Reilly.This is Regan Reilly.
969
00:49:55,557 --> 00:49:56,950
That's a whole lot of...
970
00:49:56,994 --> 00:49:59,039
Reillys? I was thinking the same thing.
971
00:49:59,083 --> 00:50:00,910
Maybe we should just
stick to Jack.
972
00:50:00,954 --> 00:50:02,956
And Regan.Just Regan.
973
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:04,218
Regan. Got it.
974
00:50:04,262 --> 00:50:06,177
Look, I know this is
probably old hat to you,
975
00:50:06,220 --> 00:50:07,265
but I just wanted to go
through the drill
976
00:50:07,308 --> 00:50:08,831
for when
the kidnappers call.
977
00:50:08,875 --> 00:50:11,008
The home phone is setto ring through to my cellphone,
978
00:50:11,051 --> 00:50:13,010
which you're tappingand tracking in real-time.
979
00:50:13,053 --> 00:50:14,620
- Right.
- And when the call comes in,
980
00:50:14,663 --> 00:50:16,709
I want to keep themon the lineas long as possible.
981
00:50:16,752 --> 00:50:19,538
- Demand to...
- Speak with the hostages.
982
00:50:19,581 --> 00:50:21,975
Do you have any other questions for me, Regan?
983
00:50:22,019 --> 00:50:25,283
No. Just a big thank you.
984
00:50:25,326 --> 00:50:27,720
My mother and I, we will never forget this.
985
00:50:27,763 --> 00:50:29,069
Just doing my job.
986
00:50:29,113 --> 00:50:31,593
Oh, no. I... I've known a lot of cops.
987
00:50:31,637 --> 00:50:34,466
I've worked withsomeand
againstsome,
988
00:50:34,509 --> 00:50:37,208
and... this is morethan a job to you.
989
00:50:37,251 --> 00:50:38,992
We'll be in touch.
990
00:50:39,036 --> 00:50:41,168
Look forward to it.
991
00:50:42,822 --> 00:50:45,781
Yeah, he's as goodas you said.
992
00:50:45,825 --> 00:50:49,089
Bingo!
993
00:50:52,440 --> 00:50:54,921
Hello?
994
00:50:54,964 --> 00:50:56,792
- Hello?
- Cuthbert?
995
00:50:56,836 --> 00:50:59,012
The name's C.B.
996
00:50:59,056 --> 00:51:00,492
Come on in.
997
00:51:00,535 --> 00:51:02,320
I'm just finishing up
a few things here.
998
00:51:02,363 --> 00:51:06,759
Okay. Yeah.
The door was open.
999
00:51:06,802 --> 00:51:09,109
Hi, C.B.
I'm Regan Reilly.
1000
00:51:09,153 --> 00:51:10,589
Regan...
1001
00:51:10,632 --> 00:51:12,678
My dad is Luke Reilly.
Garden Gate funeral home.
1002
00:51:12,721 --> 00:51:15,768
Mr. Reilly. Of course.
1003
00:51:15,811 --> 00:51:18,640
Your father is
a very gracious man.
1004
00:51:18,684 --> 00:51:19,685
And you are...?
1005
00:51:19,728 --> 00:51:21,078
Oh. I'm Alvirah.
1006
00:51:21,121 --> 00:51:23,210
- My aunt. Aunt Alvirah.
- Aunt Alvirah. Yeah.
1007
00:51:23,254 --> 00:51:24,559
Did we come
at a bad time?
1008
00:51:24,603 --> 00:51:26,300
No. No.
1009
00:51:26,344 --> 00:51:28,476
I'm... just packing to move.
1010
00:51:28,520 --> 00:51:30,304
For the last year
of my uncle's life,
1011
00:51:30,348 --> 00:51:32,132
I had the privilege
of taking care of him.
1012
00:51:32,176 --> 00:51:33,699
So now that he's gone...
1013
00:51:33,742 --> 00:51:36,005
I can move on
knowing he's at peace.
1014
00:51:36,049 --> 00:51:39,835
But... I still don't
understand why you'rehere.
1015
00:51:39,879 --> 00:51:42,360
Was there a problem?
'Cause the funeral was beautiful.
1016
00:51:42,403 --> 00:51:43,883
Oh, no, no, no. No.
1017
00:51:43,926 --> 00:51:47,843
What my niece was trying to sayis that a family heirloom
1018
00:51:47,887 --> 00:51:50,324
is missingfrom the funeral home,
1019
00:51:50,368 --> 00:51:52,239
one that Luke,
my brother,
1020
00:51:52,283 --> 00:51:54,720
was gonna give his wifefor Christmas.
1021
00:51:54,763 --> 00:51:56,374
It was on my dad's desk,
1022
00:51:56,417 --> 00:51:59,377
and he remembers seeing
one of the volunteers --
1023
00:51:59,420 --> 00:52:01,944
Coming out of the office.He claimed that he was lost.
1024
00:52:01,988 --> 00:52:03,163
I'm sure you can imagine
1025
00:52:03,207 --> 00:52:04,904
how upsetting this isfor our family.
1026
00:52:04,947 --> 00:52:07,385
I wish I could help.
I... I didn't know any of them.
1027
00:52:07,428 --> 00:52:09,822
The only thing they had
in common was the --
1028
00:52:09,865 --> 00:52:11,258
the Jingle Book House.
1029
00:52:11,302 --> 00:52:13,260
So I guess
you wouldn't have noticed
1030
00:52:13,304 --> 00:52:14,566
if anyone didn't belong.
1031
00:52:14,609 --> 00:52:16,133
Sorry.
1032
00:52:16,176 --> 00:52:18,787
You see one Santa,
you've seen them all.
1033
00:52:18,831 --> 00:52:21,312
But I 'll ask around,
and if -- if I come up with anything,
1034
00:52:21,355 --> 00:52:23,183
tell your father
I'll be sure and call.
1035
00:52:23,227 --> 00:52:24,271
- Great.
- Great.
1036
00:52:24,315 --> 00:52:26,534
Thanks. Oh! Since you offered,
1037
00:52:26,578 --> 00:52:28,188
maybe we could getyour phone number,
1038
00:52:28,232 --> 00:52:30,495
just have it handyin case we needto contact you?
1039
00:52:30,538 --> 00:52:32,627
Thank you so much.
1040
00:52:35,239 --> 00:52:36,979
But if you...
1041
00:52:37,023 --> 00:52:41,114
you don't mind,
I really should get back to...
1042
00:52:41,158 --> 00:52:43,203
but give your father
my best.
1043
00:52:43,247 --> 00:52:44,204
Oh. Thank you.
1044
00:52:44,248 --> 00:52:45,727
It was nice to meet you.
1045
00:52:45,771 --> 00:52:47,512
Nice to meet you.
1046
00:52:51,298 --> 00:52:55,215
On the big WVXT
Christmas Countdown,
1047
00:52:55,259 --> 00:52:56,695
we are going to take a break
1048
00:52:56,738 --> 00:52:59,393
from all of this
holiday-cheer mumbo jumbo,
1049
00:52:59,437 --> 00:53:01,700
and we are going to
make this...
1050
00:53:01,743 --> 00:53:04,268
...a very spooky Christmas.
1051
00:53:06,270 --> 00:53:09,969
That's right, boys and ghouls,
today we are hanging
1052
00:53:10,012 --> 00:53:13,799
with our favorite
thrillmeister Nora Reilly,
1053
00:53:13,842 --> 00:53:17,803
whose latest
novel is so scary that, well,
1054
00:53:17,846 --> 00:53:20,153
you'll never look at tinsel
the same way again.
1055
00:53:20,197 --> 00:53:23,243
Morgan, you reallyknow how to flatter a girl.
1056
00:53:23,287 --> 00:53:24,810
Anything for you, Nora.
1057
00:53:24,853 --> 00:53:26,855
Hey, let's get this plug
out of the way, shall we?
1058
00:53:26,899 --> 00:53:31,469
Nora Reilly's very latest book, "A Very Spooky Christmas,"
1059
00:53:31,512 --> 00:53:34,602
blends thrills,
chills, and suspense
1060
00:53:34,646 --> 00:53:37,736
with heart, humor,
and holiday cheer,
1061
00:53:37,779 --> 00:53:41,305
in a page-turner perfect
for your Christmas Eve.
1062
00:53:41,348 --> 00:53:42,828
Yeah, that's right, Morgan.
1063
00:53:42,871 --> 00:53:46,701
But let's not forget
that a portion of the proceeds
1064
00:53:46,745 --> 00:53:49,748
of each book goes
to Jingle Book House,
1065
00:53:49,791 --> 00:53:52,707
a charity that is near
and dear to my heart
1066
00:53:52,751 --> 00:53:54,883
- that supports childhood literacy.
- Ah, that's right.
1067
00:53:54,927 --> 00:53:58,539
And your legions of Santas
have been, well, everywhere
1068
00:53:58,583 --> 00:54:01,194
ringing those damn bells
for weeks now!
1069
00:54:01,238 --> 00:54:04,284
Of course,
it's all to help raise money
1070
00:54:04,328 --> 00:54:06,286
so the kiddies
can learn to read.
1071
00:54:06,330 --> 00:54:08,332
Well, the bell ringers
1072
00:54:08,375 --> 00:54:11,944
will soon ceasefor this year, Morgan,
1073
00:54:11,987 --> 00:54:13,859
but the important cause
1074
00:54:13,902 --> 00:54:16,165
of childhood literacy
is year-round.
1075
00:54:16,209 --> 00:54:19,430
And I think with New Year's
just around the corner,
1076
00:54:19,473 --> 00:54:22,302
that parents should
make a resolution
1077
00:54:22,346 --> 00:54:24,783
to read to their children
every day.
1078
00:54:24,826 --> 00:54:26,785
Now, you have
a daughter, Nora.
1079
00:54:26,828 --> 00:54:30,658
And did you and your husband
read to her as a child?
1080
00:54:30,702 --> 00:54:32,138
Absolutely.
1081
00:54:32,181 --> 00:54:35,533
Well, it was one of the joysof my husb-- my husband's --
1082
00:54:35,576 --> 00:54:40,320
My, uh, dear, uh,
kind Luke --
1083
00:54:40,364 --> 00:54:42,235
one of the joysof his life...
1084
00:54:42,279 --> 00:54:43,715
to read to our daughter.
1085
00:54:43,758 --> 00:54:47,196
I mean, it's the greatest giftthat one can give to a child
1086
00:54:47,240 --> 00:54:49,111
or to oneself.
1087
00:54:49,155 --> 00:54:52,201
Speaking of that daughter
of yours, Nora,
1088
00:54:52,245 --> 00:54:55,901
the famous Regan Reilly --
she has been getting
1089
00:54:55,944 --> 00:54:58,991
some pretty interesting
press these days.
1090
00:54:59,034 --> 00:55:01,733
Yes.Yes, she has.
1091
00:55:01,776 --> 00:55:04,605
And not just because
she is smokin' hot.
1092
00:55:04,649 --> 00:55:07,521
No, no, she's
a real-life private eye
1093
00:55:07,565 --> 00:55:09,523
just like out of one of
your novels, isn't she?
1094
00:55:09,567 --> 00:55:13,353
Yes, she is. Yes.
And she's single, too.
1095
00:55:13,397 --> 00:55:15,181
Well, then...
1096
00:55:15,224 --> 00:55:17,444
merry Christmas to me!
1097
00:55:17,488 --> 00:55:19,577
Thanks so much,
Nora Reilly, for joining us,
1098
00:55:19,620 --> 00:55:23,189
and you have a happy, happy
holiday with your family.
1099
00:55:23,232 --> 00:55:25,409
Will ya?
And give a special shout-out
1100
00:55:25,452 --> 00:55:27,715
to that book-reading
husband of yours.
1101
00:55:27,759 --> 00:55:31,197
And, listeners,
you dig deep,
1102
00:55:31,240 --> 00:55:33,895
and give
to Jingle Book House.
1103
00:55:33,939 --> 00:55:36,507
Thank you, Morgan.Thank you.
1104
00:55:36,550 --> 00:55:38,683
Happy holidaysto you, too.
1105
00:55:40,554 --> 00:55:42,426
Well done.
1106
00:55:43,470 --> 00:55:45,994
And now if you'll...
1107
00:55:46,038 --> 00:55:48,649
just excuse me.
1108
00:56:29,168 --> 00:56:30,865
I can't breathe!
1109
00:56:30,909 --> 00:56:35,957
Go ahead and shoot me.
Put me out of my misery.
1110
00:56:39,613 --> 00:56:43,182
Morgan in
the afternoon on WVXT!
1111
00:56:43,225 --> 00:56:45,358
We'll be right back.
1112
00:56:45,402 --> 00:56:46,620
There you are.
1113
00:56:46,664 --> 00:56:49,580
So, do you always
record everything?
1114
00:56:49,623 --> 00:56:51,103
It's kind of my thing.It's what I do.
1115
00:56:51,146 --> 00:56:54,454
Well, made her promise
not to record me.
1116
00:56:54,498 --> 00:56:55,847
- Other than that...
- Shush.
1117
00:56:55,890 --> 00:56:57,892
Don't mind him.
1118
00:56:59,328 --> 00:57:00,939
Regan Reilly.
1119
00:57:00,982 --> 00:57:02,767
You...
1120
00:57:02,810 --> 00:57:06,901
and you alone are to bring $5 million in unmarked hundreds
1121
00:57:06,945 --> 00:57:11,645
in a red, ironside,
hard-shell roller
1122
00:57:11,689 --> 00:57:13,299
to Christopher Park at 4:00.
1123
00:57:13,342 --> 00:57:16,476
And dress for a night
on the town -- pretty-like.
1124
00:57:16,520 --> 00:57:17,695
I'll be watching.
1125
00:57:17,738 --> 00:57:20,915
Unless you bring
my father and Rosita,
1126
00:57:20,959 --> 00:57:22,264
there will be no money.
1127
00:57:22,308 --> 00:57:25,572
No swapping!
You pay or they die.
1128
00:57:25,616 --> 00:57:28,488
Let me speak
to my father... now.
1129
00:57:37,366 --> 00:57:38,629
Regan?
1130
00:57:38,672 --> 00:57:42,415
Dad. Are you okay?
1131
00:57:42,459 --> 00:57:45,331
Your mother was amazing
on the radio.
1132
00:57:45,374 --> 00:57:47,072
I could
just see myself
1133
00:57:47,115 --> 00:57:49,074
reading you your
1134
00:57:49,117 --> 00:57:51,642
- favoritebook... when you were --
- Okay, we're done.
1135
00:57:51,685 --> 00:57:53,731
Not -- not unless
I speak to Rosita!
1136
00:57:53,774 --> 00:57:55,515
No Rosita.
1137
00:57:55,559 --> 00:57:57,343
My babies! How are my babies?!
1138
00:57:57,386 --> 00:57:59,345
They're safe, Rosita!
1139
00:58:08,093 --> 00:58:09,224
Nora.
1140
00:58:09,268 --> 00:58:10,487
Mom.
1141
00:58:10,530 --> 00:58:12,619
What happened?
1142
00:58:17,755 --> 00:58:20,584
You boys sure picked a beauty of a tree for your mom.
1143
00:58:20,627 --> 00:58:23,761
That's some big jobyou're doing there.
1144
00:58:23,804 --> 00:58:25,589
You boys okay?
1145
00:58:25,632 --> 00:58:27,155
Don't worry, Mrs. Lee.
We got it.
1146
00:58:27,199 --> 00:58:28,679
Oh. We do?
1147
00:58:28,722 --> 00:58:30,811
Sure! We're strong!
1148
00:58:37,078 --> 00:58:38,776
Uh... Mrs. Lee?
1149
00:58:40,386 --> 00:58:43,781
I... I need you to take
the boys inside the apartment.
1150
00:58:43,824 --> 00:58:47,698
How would you boys like somefresh-baked Christmas cookies?
1151
00:58:47,741 --> 00:58:49,351
- Cookies!
- Can we, Uncle Fred?
1152
00:58:49,395 --> 00:58:50,788
Yeah, you bet.
1153
00:58:50,831 --> 00:58:52,224
And as soon as I get your tree
inside the apartment,
1154
00:58:52,267 --> 00:58:53,355
I'll come join you.
1155
00:58:53,399 --> 00:58:55,227
Okay, Mrs. Lee?
1156
00:58:55,270 --> 00:58:56,358
I understand.
1157
00:58:59,405 --> 00:59:02,539
Vince. Yeah,
it's going down now.
1158
00:59:02,582 --> 00:59:05,063
I need backup.
581 Maple.
1159
00:59:22,646 --> 00:59:23,603
Aah!
1160
00:59:23,647 --> 00:59:24,691
What's your problem, cop?
1161
00:59:24,735 --> 00:59:26,606
I told youthis is my house, my stuff.
1162
00:59:26,650 --> 00:59:27,999
You got no business here.
1163
00:59:28,042 --> 00:59:29,348
No, Ramon,
you aremy business here.
1164
00:59:29,391 --> 00:59:31,176
Hey, I know my rights!
1165
00:59:31,219 --> 00:59:33,178
I adviseyou to exercise
your right to shut the hell up.
1166
00:59:33,221 --> 00:59:35,354
'Cause this ain't your house,
it ain't your stuff,
1167
00:59:35,397 --> 00:59:37,617
and you're never ever
coming back here again,
1168
00:59:37,661 --> 00:59:38,749
because you're not
welcome here.
1169
00:59:38,792 --> 00:59:40,620
And...
1170
00:59:40,664 --> 00:59:42,535
you're gonna run
when I tell you to run.
1171
00:59:42,579 --> 00:59:44,015
Because I know
two fine young men
1172
00:59:44,058 --> 00:59:46,191
who don't deserve to learn
two days before Christmas
1173
00:59:46,234 --> 00:59:48,193
what a scumbag
their sperm donor is.
1174
00:59:48,236 --> 00:59:50,064
Got it?
1175
00:59:50,108 --> 00:59:51,283
Good.
1176
00:59:51,326 --> 00:59:56,288
Now get the hell out of here.
1177
00:59:58,507 --> 01:00:00,205
On his way.
1178
01:00:00,248 --> 01:00:03,730
Oh, and, uh, Vince...
take him down quiet.
1179
01:00:03,774 --> 01:00:06,472
No need to upset the neighbors.
1180
01:00:09,214 --> 01:00:13,479
You are notmaking this
any easier on yourself, Ramon.
1181
01:00:13,522 --> 01:00:15,742
I swear, I got nothing
to do with no kidnapping.
1182
01:00:15,786 --> 01:00:17,091
You think I wouldn'ttell you if I knew?
1183
01:00:17,135 --> 01:00:18,789
She's the mother
of my kids!
1184
01:00:18,832 --> 01:00:21,182
No way this is our guy.
1185
01:00:21,226 --> 01:00:22,619
Unfortunately, you're right.
1186
01:00:22,662 --> 01:00:24,142
I thought for sure it was him
1187
01:00:24,185 --> 01:00:25,665
when we pulled the ace of spades out of the limo.
1188
01:00:25,709 --> 01:00:27,145
But there's no hitson Ramon 's prints, right?
1189
01:00:27,188 --> 01:00:28,668
No. Got clean reads, too.
1190
01:00:28,712 --> 01:00:30,670
Now, either this kidnapperis the best of the best
1191
01:00:30,714 --> 01:00:32,106
or the rookie's rookie,
1192
01:00:32,150 --> 01:00:33,891
but the prints we pulled
off the playing card
1193
01:00:33,934 --> 01:00:35,327
are not
in the FBI database.
1194
01:00:35,370 --> 01:00:36,850
Ramon's not our guy.
1195
01:00:38,156 --> 01:00:39,287
Seems he's also well aware
1196
01:00:39,331 --> 01:00:40,898
of the hit his loan sharkput out on him,
1197
01:00:40,941 --> 01:00:41,942
and he's offering to do
almost anything
1198
01:00:41,986 --> 01:00:43,814
to have us protect
his sorry ass.
1199
01:00:43,857 --> 01:00:45,163
All right, Jack, remember,
he's a father, okay?
1200
01:00:45,206 --> 01:00:47,556
I know. I would hate
Ramon's untimely demise
1201
01:00:47,600 --> 01:00:50,777
to ruin a lifetime of Christmases for his two kids.
1202
01:00:53,954 --> 01:00:55,913
So, then, where are we
with this ransom call?
1203
01:00:55,956 --> 01:00:57,392
We're running
the specs now.
1204
01:00:57,436 --> 01:00:59,264
Yeah. You know, I have played
back this recording
1205
01:00:59,307 --> 01:01:01,527
dozens of times,
and even with his cold,
1206
01:01:01,570 --> 01:01:02,876
the way he's talking,
1207
01:01:02,920 --> 01:01:04,922
it's like he's
reading to us, right?
1208
01:01:04,965 --> 01:01:06,663
You know, it struck methat way, as well.
1209
01:01:06,706 --> 01:01:08,273
I mean, whoever our suspect is,
1210
01:01:08,316 --> 01:01:11,189
it seems to me they got somebodybehind them calling the shots,
1211
01:01:11,232 --> 01:01:12,538
using themas a mouthpiece.
1212
01:01:12,581 --> 01:01:14,192
Which means, whoever this guy or gal is,
1213
01:01:14,235 --> 01:01:16,934
they can't run the risk of ushearing what they sound like.
1214
01:01:16,977 --> 01:01:19,763
So, you mean it's someone
Regan's family...
1215
01:01:19,806 --> 01:01:21,765
your dad
might have met before.
1216
01:01:21,808 --> 01:01:23,941
Oh, yeah, that'd fit the pattern.
1217
01:01:23,984 --> 01:01:26,291
But what does this have to do with my dad reading to me as a kid?
1218
01:01:26,334 --> 01:01:27,727
The only thing
I can think of is
1219
01:01:27,771 --> 01:01:29,555
that this person
is involved somehow,
1220
01:01:29,598 --> 01:01:31,862
some way
with Jingle Book House.
1221
01:01:31,905 --> 01:01:33,211
- Right.
- Which reminds me --
1222
01:01:33,254 --> 01:01:35,169
what about the nephewof the deceased, Mr. Dingle?
1223
01:01:35,213 --> 01:01:37,128
Does he have anything to dowith Jingle Book House?
1224
01:01:37,171 --> 01:01:39,391
No. He lost his uncle,
he's moving on with his life.
1225
01:01:39,434 --> 01:01:41,523
That charity really meant
nothing to him.
1226
01:01:41,567 --> 01:01:44,048
Hmm.
1227
01:01:45,832 --> 01:01:49,967
Leave him be.It's gonna be a long day.
1228
01:01:50,010 --> 01:01:52,534
Besides, you and Willy are off duty
1229
01:01:52,578 --> 01:01:54,014
for the next round anyway.
1230
01:01:57,931 --> 01:02:00,586
Well, the instructionswere for me to come alone.
1231
01:02:00,629 --> 01:02:03,807
Well, I know,
but I'm your backup.
1232
01:02:03,850 --> 01:02:05,765
No means no, Alvirah.
1233
01:02:05,809 --> 01:02:07,767
Look, I'm sorry,
that's just the way it is.
1234
01:02:07,811 --> 01:02:09,900
All right. Regan...
1235
01:02:09,943 --> 01:02:11,815
I think it's bestthis way.
1236
01:02:13,817 --> 01:02:15,732
Okay.
1237
01:02:16,820 --> 01:02:17,864
And, Jack...
1238
01:02:17,908 --> 01:02:19,823
I know you're trackingthat money,
1239
01:02:19,866 --> 01:02:21,172
but I don'twant to see you...
1240
01:02:21,215 --> 01:02:23,391
or your men anywhere nearthat drop point.
1241
01:02:23,435 --> 01:02:24,915
Well, that's fine.
1242
01:02:24,958 --> 01:02:27,395
But we are gonna be
two steps behind you.
1243
01:02:42,019 --> 01:02:43,281
It's time.
1244
01:02:47,764 --> 01:02:50,941
Regan?
1245
01:02:50,984 --> 01:02:56,468
When I was little,
I couldn't sleep,
1246
01:02:56,511 --> 01:02:59,950
my pop used to hold my hand
and tell me stories
1247
01:02:59,993 --> 01:03:00,951
about his dad...
1248
01:03:00,994 --> 01:03:03,214
whom I neverhad the chance to know
1249
01:03:03,257 --> 01:03:05,999
because my grandfather diedbefore I was born.
1250
01:03:08,697 --> 01:03:12,832
I don't want my kids, if I ever have kids,
1251
01:03:12,876 --> 01:03:15,879
not to know their grandpa.
1252
01:03:17,097 --> 01:03:18,838
I wish I could convince you
1253
01:03:18,882 --> 01:03:20,666
that you didn't
have to do this, but...
1254
01:03:20,709 --> 01:03:22,755
Who wouldyou be kidding?
1255
01:03:22,799 --> 01:03:25,453
You're gonna do great.
1256
01:03:27,891 --> 01:03:30,502
So, have you figured outwhat car I 'll be driving?
1257
01:03:30,545 --> 01:03:32,678
Oh, I thought I'd leave
that up to you.
1258
01:03:32,721 --> 01:03:35,289
The NYPD impound garage
1259
01:03:35,333 --> 01:03:38,510
is the best-used car lot
in the tri-state area.
1260
01:03:53,525 --> 01:03:55,222
I got it.
1261
01:03:55,266 --> 01:03:58,965
I make the calls,
and I wait here for the drop.
1262
01:03:59,009 --> 01:04:00,793
They don't scare me, Mr. R.
1263
01:04:00,837 --> 01:04:03,448
My boys are okay --that's all that matters.
1264
01:04:03,491 --> 01:04:05,015
I know, whatever happens,
1265
01:04:05,058 --> 01:04:07,278
my children will bein a good place.
1266
01:04:07,321 --> 01:04:10,281
And they'll burn.
Burn forever.
1267
01:04:10,324 --> 01:04:12,326
Oh, they'll pay
all right, Rosita.
1268
01:04:12,370 --> 01:04:14,459
But they are never
going to hurt us.
1269
01:04:14,502 --> 01:04:17,331
Because the last thing
anyone in their right mind
1270
01:04:17,375 --> 01:04:19,899
would ever want
is my daughter pissed off
1271
01:04:19,943 --> 01:04:21,379
and coming after them.
1272
01:04:27,254 --> 01:04:29,648
Comfy back there,
Alvirah?
1273
01:04:34,435 --> 01:04:35,915
How'd you know?
1274
01:04:35,959 --> 01:04:37,612
I knew you'd know
which car I'd pick.
1275
01:04:37,656 --> 01:04:39,919
And you gave up way too easy on coming along.
1276
01:04:39,963 --> 01:04:41,529
So, we're okay, then, yeah?
1277
01:04:41,573 --> 01:04:43,923
- As long as you stay out of sight...
- Okay.
1278
01:04:43,967 --> 01:04:47,013
...and don't offer
any driving tips, yeah.
1279
01:04:49,363 --> 01:04:51,148
Change of plans.
1280
01:04:51,191 --> 01:04:54,934
Go to Patty O's.
630, 125th.
1281
01:04:54,978 --> 01:04:57,719
20 minutes.
And ditch your phone.
1282
01:04:57,763 --> 01:04:59,896
Remember, I see you.
1283
01:05:15,781 --> 01:05:17,914
Here.
Take care of the money.
1284
01:05:20,133 --> 01:05:23,615
Really?
1285
01:05:31,144 --> 01:05:35,192
You lost? Are you a tourist?
1286
01:05:35,235 --> 01:05:36,280
Excuse me?
1287
01:05:36,323 --> 01:05:37,498
What'll it be?
1288
01:05:39,065 --> 01:05:40,197
I'm not sure.
1289
01:05:40,240 --> 01:05:43,287
That's enough of that now.
1290
01:05:43,330 --> 01:05:46,986
Go see to the stew.
Go on, now.
1291
01:05:47,030 --> 01:05:48,553
And how are youon this fine day?
1292
01:05:48,596 --> 01:05:50,163
I'm...
1293
01:05:50,207 --> 01:05:51,556
Don't let my sister's moodspoil your own.
1294
01:05:51,599 --> 01:05:53,123
She's been getting upon the wrong side of the bed
1295
01:05:53,166 --> 01:05:54,907
since the daywe were born.
1296
01:05:54,951 --> 01:05:56,474
I'm a minute older, and it sticks in her craw.
1297
01:05:56,517 --> 01:05:57,736
I take it you two are --
1298
01:05:57,779 --> 01:05:58,998
Oh, we get along all right,
1299
01:05:59,042 --> 01:06:00,217
but you know what we sayabout the Irish.
1300
01:06:00,260 --> 01:06:02,088
"We forget everything
but the grudge."
1301
01:06:02,132 --> 01:06:04,351
You're both prettyand smart.
1302
01:06:04,395 --> 01:06:07,615
I'll be right with you.
1303
01:06:09,487 --> 01:06:11,184
Patty O's.
1304
01:06:11,228 --> 01:06:14,971
Oh, yes, indeed, Santa.Right where you left it.
1305
01:06:15,014 --> 01:06:19,236
Why, yes.I believe she is.
1306
01:06:19,279 --> 01:06:21,673
Of course.It would be my pleasure.
1307
01:06:21,716 --> 01:06:24,241
Seems this is for you.
1308
01:06:24,284 --> 01:06:25,546
Hello?
1309
01:06:25,590 --> 01:06:27,809
Go to U-Gift It
down the block.
1310
01:06:27,853 --> 01:06:29,159
To the what?
1311
01:06:29,202 --> 01:06:30,421
U-Gift It!
1312
01:06:30,464 --> 01:06:33,293
Just shut it,
and do what I say.
1313
01:06:35,121 --> 01:06:37,036
All right, I need you to wrap
this suitcase like a present.
1314
01:06:37,080 --> 01:06:39,691
So you want me to gift-wrapthe suitcase, yeah?
1315
01:06:41,127 --> 01:06:44,174
I have got 15 minutes
to get to Pier 61.
1316
01:06:44,217 --> 01:06:46,132
I need you
to do it quickly.
1317
01:06:48,482 --> 01:06:50,180
Okay. And how bigwould you like the bow?
1318
01:07:20,297 --> 01:07:21,950
Where to next?
1319
01:07:21,994 --> 01:07:23,778

1321

When?
1322
01:07:26,172 --> 01:07:27,913
- Two minutes.
- What'd he say?
1323
01:07:27,956 --> 01:07:30,916
No time.
1324
01:07:30,959 --> 01:07:32,570
All right, ooh.
All right.
1325
01:07:32,613 --> 01:07:35,312
- Keep your phone on in case I need you.
- Yes.
1326
01:07:35,355 --> 01:07:39,272
- And... park the car.
- Okay. Oh!
1327
01:07:39,316 --> 01:07:43,102

Give it to Santa,
pretty lady.
1340
01:08:33,718 --> 01:08:35,763
All right, thank you
for your support, ma'am.
1341
01:08:35,807 --> 01:08:37,896
Hey, what you guys doing up here?
How we doing?
1342
01:08:37,939 --> 01:08:41,987
Thank you for supporting
Jingle Book House.
1343
01:08:42,030 --> 01:08:42,988
I'd have to say...
1344
01:08:43,031 --> 01:08:44,468
you clean up real nice.
1345
01:08:44,511 --> 01:08:47,471
Where are my fatherand Rosita?
1346
01:08:47,514 --> 01:08:49,342
I'll call to tell you
after I'm gone.
1347
01:08:49,386 --> 01:08:52,258
If anyone follows me,
especially you, they die.
1348
01:08:55,218 --> 01:08:56,262
I guess we need
some more room.
1349
01:08:56,306 --> 01:08:57,959
I agree.
Let's head over to...
1350
01:08:58,003 --> 01:08:59,309
I got some room rightback here in the back.
1351
01:08:59,352 --> 01:09:00,527
Those look great.
1352
01:09:00,571 --> 01:09:03,617
Hello, there.
Hey, thanks on behalf on me.
1353
01:09:03,661 --> 01:09:06,577
This -- this one's --
This one's a little light.
1354
01:09:06,620 --> 01:09:08,448
Hi!
1355
01:09:08,492 --> 01:09:10,450
Put this one over there on the top.
- Happy holidays.
1356
01:09:10,494 --> 01:09:13,236
Merry Christmas from
Jingle Book House. Thank you.
1357
01:09:15,455 --> 01:09:18,110
Hey, you can bring
that box right over here.
1358
01:09:20,373 --> 01:09:22,332
Yeah, yeah. Thank you.
Merry Christmas.
1359
01:09:52,231 --> 01:09:53,972
Okay, okay!
1360
01:09:56,670 --> 01:09:58,237
Yes.
1361
01:09:58,281 --> 01:09:59,717
I'm on my way back.
Where did you park?
1362
01:09:59,760 --> 01:10:02,589
Right where you left me.I don'tdrive.
1363
01:10:02,633 --> 01:10:05,070
And they keep
honking at me.
1364
01:10:05,113 --> 01:10:07,638
Calm down, Alvirah.
I'm on my way.
1365
01:10:33,446 --> 01:10:36,188
- Oh!
- Hey, watch it!
1366
01:10:49,375 --> 01:10:52,117
Oh, God. Oh, oh.
1367
01:10:52,160 --> 01:10:53,292
I'm going. Okay, okay.
1368
01:11:08,394 --> 01:11:10,309
Hey!
1369
01:11:10,353 --> 01:11:13,399
Whoa! Aah!
1370
01:11:16,228 --> 01:11:19,318
Oh, no! The money!
1371
01:11:39,251 --> 01:11:40,905
You okay?
1372
01:11:40,948 --> 01:11:42,733
What do you think?
1373
01:11:42,776 --> 01:11:44,082
Alvirah.
1374
01:11:44,125 --> 01:11:46,389
I just never know whento leave well enough alone.
1375
01:11:46,432 --> 01:11:47,477
I don't.You know what?
1376
01:11:47,520 --> 01:11:48,652
I'm just gonna get outof your hair.
1377
01:11:48,695 --> 01:11:50,349
Because of me, he dropped the money,
1378
01:11:50,393 --> 01:11:51,437
and now they can't track itto your dad.
1379
01:11:51,481 --> 01:11:53,831
I hate to rain
on your pity party,
1380
01:11:53,874 --> 01:11:56,181
- but this isn't your fault.
- Oh, please.
1381
01:11:56,224 --> 01:11:59,053
I'm the one he spotted,
and he panicked
1382
01:11:59,097 --> 01:12:00,403
and started running,
1383
01:12:00,446 --> 01:12:02,448
and I chased after him
like a complete amateur.
1384
01:12:02,492 --> 01:12:04,189
Oh, do not go
blaming yourself.
1385
01:12:04,232 --> 01:12:05,843
Which is exactly
my point.
1386
01:12:05,886 --> 01:12:07,279
Playing the blame game
1387
01:12:07,323 --> 01:12:10,108
isn't gonna help anybody
at this point.
1388
01:12:10,151 --> 01:12:11,805
Especially my dad
and Rosita.
1389
01:12:11,849 --> 01:12:13,590
I don't know how
to fix this,
1390
01:12:13,633 --> 01:12:15,766
but I do know
that in order to succeed,
1391
01:12:15,809 --> 01:12:17,768
I'm gonna need
that smart, ballsy,
1392
01:12:17,811 --> 01:12:19,596
"stick her nose into
everybody's business"
1393
01:12:19,639 --> 01:12:21,728
Alvirah Meehan that
I've come to count on
1394
01:12:21,772 --> 01:12:23,556
right by my side.
1395
01:12:26,516 --> 01:12:29,388
It's settled, then.
1396
01:12:29,432 --> 01:12:31,216
Now, get your booty
back in the car,
1397
01:12:31,259 --> 01:12:32,478
and let's go fix this.
1398
01:13:14,607 --> 01:13:16,783
I know a threat
when I see one.
1399
01:13:16,827 --> 01:13:18,437
That photo is
from the book signing
1400
01:13:18,481 --> 01:13:19,525
for "Haunted Haunts,"
1401
01:13:19,569 --> 01:13:21,353
and that was almost
two years ago!
1402
01:13:21,397 --> 01:13:22,659
Mom, your fans
have a history
1403
01:13:22,702 --> 01:13:24,443
of coming to your eventsin costume
1404
01:13:24,487 --> 01:13:26,010
just to have their picturetaken with you.
1405
01:13:26,053 --> 01:13:28,534
This could simply be a giftfrom a zealous fan.
1406
01:13:28,578 --> 01:13:31,537
Then why no return address?
And why now?
1407
01:13:31,581 --> 01:13:33,452
I mean, tell me
how I'm wrong.
1408
01:13:33,496 --> 01:13:35,628
Oh, no one's saying
you're wrong.
1409
01:13:35,672 --> 01:13:36,977
We just don't want you
to jump to conclusions.
1410
01:13:37,021 --> 01:13:38,544
Nora? Listen --
1411
01:13:38,588 --> 01:13:40,024
they'll catch this guy.
It'll be okay.
1412
01:13:40,067 --> 01:13:42,548
All right. So they fishedthe suitcase out of the river.
1413
01:13:42,592 --> 01:13:44,463
All the money is presentand accounted for.
1414
01:13:45,551 --> 01:13:48,249
Still no sign
of our Santa?
1415
01:13:48,293 --> 01:13:50,469
We got a print.We got him.
1416
01:13:55,082 --> 01:13:56,475
NYPD! Don't move!
1417
01:13:56,519 --> 01:13:58,651
Get your hands up! Don't move!
1418
01:14:03,395 --> 01:14:05,223
Clear.
1419
01:14:05,266 --> 01:14:07,573
Where are they? Where are you holdingLuke and Rosita?
1420
01:14:09,749 --> 01:14:11,447
Luke stinks.Nora loves Alvin.
1421
01:14:11,490 --> 01:14:12,970
Nora loves Alvin.
1422
01:14:13,013 --> 01:14:14,450
Quiet, Nora!
1423
01:14:37,385 --> 01:14:40,040
I don't know.
Maybe it needs more.
1424
01:14:40,084 --> 01:14:42,521
What do you think, Nora?
1425
01:14:42,565 --> 01:14:44,567
Nora?
1426
01:14:45,611 --> 01:14:47,265
Oh, boy.
1427
01:14:47,308 --> 01:14:49,006
Look...
1428
01:14:49,049 --> 01:14:51,051
I love doing
other people's trees.
1429
01:14:51,095 --> 01:14:52,662
Who wouldn't?
1430
01:14:52,705 --> 01:14:54,794
But Alvirah is gonna hold me personally responsible
1431
01:14:54,838 --> 01:14:58,189
if my handiwork is not up to her high tinseling standards.
1432
01:14:58,232 --> 01:15:00,800
And if I don't place this star up there just so,
1433
01:15:00,844 --> 01:15:02,933
she's gonna place it
somewhere else just so.
1434
01:15:02,976 --> 01:15:04,761
And she's done
it before --
1435
01:15:04,804 --> 01:15:07,154
I promise you
it won't be pretty.
1436
01:15:07,198 --> 01:15:08,852
All right.We wouldn't want that.
1437
01:15:08,895 --> 01:15:11,289
- What's the next move?
- Now you're talking.
1438
01:15:11,332 --> 01:15:13,160
Well, first of all,
I think we need a realladder
1439
01:15:13,204 --> 01:15:15,598
and a tape measure --
maybe even a bottle.
1440
01:15:15,641 --> 01:15:18,209
I mean a level.
Do I say bottle? I meant level.
1441
01:15:18,252 --> 01:15:21,952
Excellent idea, on both counts.
1442
01:15:23,301 --> 01:15:25,695
Full speed ahead.
1443
01:15:25,738 --> 01:15:27,305
Whoa.
1444
01:15:32,702 --> 01:15:34,747
There's been no newson the radio.
1445
01:15:34,791 --> 01:15:36,706
No call from him all night
saying he's in trouble
1446
01:15:36,749 --> 01:15:38,359
or something went wrong.
1447
01:15:38,403 --> 01:15:39,709
But it's not our fault
1448
01:15:39,752 --> 01:15:41,449
if your buddy
double-crossed you.
1449
01:15:41,493 --> 01:15:43,277
He's playing you.He's got the money.
1450
01:16:00,643 --> 01:16:03,036
Now, why not let us go
1451
01:16:03,080 --> 01:16:05,822
so you can go take back
what's yours?
1452
01:16:05,865 --> 01:16:06,692
Shut up!
1453
01:16:06,736 --> 01:16:09,608
We're just trying to help.
1454
01:16:14,961 --> 01:16:16,093
Where's my money?
1455
01:16:16,136 --> 01:16:18,835
I lost the money.
1456
01:16:18,878 --> 01:16:22,273
But at least I got away.
1457
01:16:22,316 --> 01:16:23,579
You moron!
1458
01:16:23,622 --> 01:16:25,276
You imbecile!
1459
01:16:25,319 --> 01:16:28,061
You mother...
1460
01:16:28,105 --> 01:16:29,585
I should be what?
1461
01:16:29,628 --> 01:16:33,458
Grateful that you
didn't get caught?
1462
01:16:33,501 --> 01:16:35,721
Peter, you're a dead man.
1463
01:16:35,765 --> 01:16:38,419
But, C.B., we've been
best buds forever.
1464
01:16:38,463 --> 01:16:41,727
- Forever and a day too long.
- Cuthbert! Wait!
1465
01:16:41,771 --> 01:16:43,207
Don't call me that.
1466
01:16:43,250 --> 01:16:45,601
That's my good-for-nothing
uncle's name.
1467
01:16:45,644 --> 01:16:47,124
And it's your fault
that you're here.
1468
01:16:47,167 --> 01:16:49,779
You and my uncle and that godforsaken Jingle Book House
1469
01:16:49,822 --> 01:16:51,781
that you both loved
so much,
1470
01:16:51,824 --> 01:16:53,652
that he loved more than me,
1471
01:16:53,696 --> 01:16:55,785
even after years
of "Yes, Uncle.
1472
01:16:55,828 --> 01:16:59,266
What can I do
for you, Uncle?"
1473
01:17:00,441 --> 01:17:03,053
Be sure and give him
my worst.
1474
01:17:03,096 --> 01:17:06,622
Or you could stop actinglike a spoiled child
1475
01:17:06,665 --> 01:17:09,276
and let me get backyour $5 million.
1476
01:17:21,724 --> 01:17:23,726
Why don't you stoplying to us, Alvin?
1477
01:17:23,769 --> 01:17:25,684
But she didlet me
take those pictures.
1478
01:17:25,728 --> 01:17:26,903
I-I swear on Nora's life.
1479
01:17:26,946 --> 01:17:28,992
You need to stopsaying that!
1480
01:17:29,035 --> 01:17:30,123
Can I shoot him?
1481
01:17:31,690 --> 01:17:33,692
Okay.
1482
01:17:33,736 --> 01:17:37,827
Alvin, what Regan'strying to say is that
1483
01:17:37,870 --> 01:17:40,743
Nora -- not your bird Nora, but the real Nora --
1484
01:17:40,786 --> 01:17:43,528
asked us to come ask youif you know
1485
01:17:43,571 --> 01:17:45,791
where Luke and Rosita are.
1486
01:17:45,835 --> 01:17:47,445
Luke 's ugly!
1487
01:17:47,488 --> 01:17:50,927
That is it!
I'm going to kill that damn bird!
1488
01:18:07,900 --> 01:18:08,771
Regan Reilly.
1489
01:18:10,729 --> 01:18:12,731
I assume they recovered
the money?
1490
01:18:14,733 --> 01:18:15,908
Hey, hey.
1491
01:18:15,952 --> 01:18:17,736
Yes, dad, but --
1492
01:18:17,780 --> 01:18:21,784
This screw-up
is making me see red.
1493
01:18:21,827 --> 01:18:24,134
Do what they're going to
tell you to do.
1494
01:18:24,177 --> 01:18:25,962
It's our only chance.
1495
01:18:26,005 --> 01:18:27,572
Surrender, Luke. Surrender, Luke.
1496
01:18:27,615 --> 01:18:29,617
Get him cuffed!
Get that bird out!
1497
01:18:34,448 --> 01:18:35,580
This plan of yoursbetter work.
1498
01:18:35,623 --> 01:18:36,799
Why would I lie to you?
1499
01:18:36,842 --> 01:18:38,757
Our lives are in your hands.
Count on it.
1500
01:18:41,281 --> 01:18:43,240
Read good for me, Petey...
1501
01:18:43,283 --> 01:18:44,850
or else.
1502
01:18:46,809 --> 01:18:48,593
Go ahead, Dad.
We're ready.
1503
01:18:48,636 --> 01:18:50,987
Put the money
into another bag,
1504
01:18:51,030 --> 01:18:54,947
exactly like
the last suitcase.
1505
01:18:54,991 --> 01:18:57,515
Head for the Queens
midtown tunnel,
1506
01:18:57,558 --> 01:18:59,256
and exit on Borden avenue,
1507
01:18:59,299 --> 01:19:02,476
where you will find a pile
of abandoned furniture
1508
01:19:02,520 --> 01:19:04,174
dumped right under...
1509
01:19:04,217 --> 01:19:07,786
- the Long Island expressway. - ...the Long Island expressway.
1510
01:19:07,830 --> 01:19:10,006
I know I have it here somewhere.
1511
01:19:10,049 --> 01:19:13,923
"Strange Detective Magazine"issue number 12.
1512
01:19:13,966 --> 01:19:16,229
No. Possibly 13.
1513
01:19:16,273 --> 01:19:19,842
You're sure this storyhas a drop underthe Long Island expressway?
1514
01:19:19,885 --> 01:19:22,496
Yes, and at 30th street,
not 30th place.
1515
01:19:22,540 --> 01:19:24,194
And so cunning
of your father
1516
01:19:24,237 --> 01:19:26,849
to use your mother's ingeniousknack for plot twists
1517
01:19:26,892 --> 01:19:27,937
against his captors.
1518
01:19:27,980 --> 01:19:29,939
Do you remember this story, Alvirah?
1519
01:19:29,982 --> 01:19:32,985
No. I've read every one
of your mother's books.
1520
01:19:33,029 --> 01:19:34,987
It was never in a book, not even a compilation.
1521
01:19:35,031 --> 01:19:36,815
No, when this piecewas first published,
1522
01:19:36,859 --> 01:19:39,296
your mother was newly marriedand pregnant with you.
1523
01:19:39,339 --> 01:19:42,778
Ah! Oh, how about that?
1524
01:19:42,821 --> 01:19:45,563
It's issue number 12after all.
1525
01:19:45,606 --> 01:19:47,652
He's no kidnapper.
1526
01:19:47,695 --> 01:19:49,828
- Where are we on the money, Jack?
- It's on its way.
1527
01:19:49,872 --> 01:19:51,221
I'm gonna confirmwith the rest of my team
1528
01:19:51,264 --> 01:19:52,744
that everything is good to goat the new drop point.
1529
01:19:52,788 --> 01:19:55,747
Oh, God.
I know that sound!
1530
01:19:55,791 --> 01:19:57,836
What is it?
Why can't I remember?
1531
01:19:57,880 --> 01:19:59,098
Come on, Alvirah.
1532
01:19:59,142 --> 01:20:00,839
It's like I 've heard it
a million times.
1533
01:20:00,883 --> 01:20:03,320
All right, you know what?
What do we know?
1534
01:20:03,363 --> 01:20:04,800
What was your dad saying?
1535
01:20:04,843 --> 01:20:06,540
He was trying to tell you
something about books.
1536
01:20:06,584 --> 01:20:08,586
Right?
Books that he read to you when you were a child.
1537
01:20:08,629 --> 01:20:11,067
Right? And he said that
he was mad -- he said "red."
1538
01:20:11,110 --> 01:20:13,547
Wait. Let me see that.He crossed out his name.
1539
01:20:13,591 --> 01:20:15,071
- Yeah?
- C.B.
1540
01:20:15,114 --> 01:20:16,986
He crossed outhis uncle's name
1541
01:20:17,029 --> 01:20:19,510
on the memorial programto write down his phone number.
1542
01:20:19,553 --> 01:20:20,859
Who does that?
1543
01:20:20,903 --> 01:20:22,774
Not to someone you love.Right?
1544
01:20:22,818 --> 01:20:24,820
Or someone
you claim to love.
1545
01:20:24,863 --> 01:20:27,083
- Yeah.
- Of course.
1546
01:20:27,126 --> 01:20:29,346
C.B. got cut out
of his rich uncle's will.
1547
01:20:29,389 --> 01:20:31,217
He wasn't moving on
with his life.
1548
01:20:31,261 --> 01:20:33,872
He was being kicked out
on his ear.
1549
01:20:33,916 --> 01:20:35,874
Oh, my. This is not good.This is not good at all.
1550
01:20:35,918 --> 01:20:37,049
What'snot good?
1551
01:20:37,093 --> 01:20:38,616
I just finished
rereading this story.
1552
01:20:38,659 --> 01:20:41,706
What I forgot was the cops
caught the kidnappers,
1553
01:20:41,749 --> 01:20:45,318
but the poor unfortunate
hostages croaked.
1554
01:20:49,801 --> 01:20:51,890
Come on, Alvirah.
1555
01:20:51,934 --> 01:20:54,371
Please,
you've got to remember.
1556
01:20:54,414 --> 01:20:56,112
There's got to be something
that rings a bell.
1557
01:20:56,155 --> 01:20:58,549
Bell! That's what it is, bells!
1558
01:20:58,592 --> 01:21:00,029
It's the bellsof St. Michael's.
1559
01:21:00,072 --> 01:21:02,161
I heard it for 20 yearsevery Friday on the hour
1560
01:21:02,205 --> 01:21:03,902
coming fromSt. Michael's church.
1561
01:21:03,946 --> 01:21:05,991
It was right across from whereI cleaned houses. It's bells.
1562
01:21:06,035 --> 01:21:08,733
- Where is the church?
- It's in Edgewater. Come on.
1563
01:21:08,776 --> 01:21:10,039
- Wait.
- I'm coming!
1564
01:21:10,082 --> 01:21:11,170
- Seeing red.
- Wait for me!
1565
01:21:11,214 --> 01:21:13,216
That's it.
I know where they are.
1566
01:21:13,259 --> 01:21:15,522
Jack, we've got to go save them before it's too late.
1567
01:21:15,566 --> 01:21:17,002
Stick to my mom's story.
1568
01:21:17,046 --> 01:21:19,439
C.B.'s our kidnapper.
He should be there. Trust me.
1569
01:21:21,137 --> 01:21:22,747
Let's go.
1570
01:21:30,537 --> 01:21:32,583
After all the time and effort
I put into keeping
1571
01:21:32,626 --> 01:21:33,976
my identity secret
1572
01:21:34,019 --> 01:21:35,847
so I wouldn't
have to eliminate you...
1573
01:21:35,891 --> 01:21:41,157
I even fooledthe famous Regan Reillyand her nosy aunt Alvirah,
1574
01:21:41,200 --> 01:21:44,551
only to have mybrilliantly executed deception
1575
01:21:44,595 --> 01:21:46,640
ruined by Petey,
1576
01:21:46,684 --> 01:21:49,774
who I just knewwould screw up!
1577
01:21:49,817 --> 01:21:51,558
And force meto trigger plan B.
1578
01:21:51,602 --> 01:21:55,432
You get it? Trigger?
1579
01:21:55,475 --> 01:21:58,261
It's really too bad my uncle wasn't here to see my masterwork.
1580
01:21:58,304 --> 01:22:01,090
You know what his last words were?
Do you?
1581
01:22:01,133 --> 01:22:03,179
Why would you?
1582
01:22:03,222 --> 01:22:04,441
After selling my loft
1583
01:22:04,484 --> 01:22:06,443
and my Brazilian
black-wood pool table,
1584
01:22:06,486 --> 01:22:11,187
cutting me off, clearing my accounts,
he sold my Porsche.
1585
01:22:11,230 --> 01:22:12,188
He left me with
my mother's old beater.
1586
01:22:12,231 --> 01:22:17,845
He told me...
"Get a job."
1587
01:22:17,889 --> 01:22:21,414
Like I was common.
1588
01:22:21,458 --> 01:22:24,200
Now thanks to you,
everything's gonna be all right.
1589
01:22:24,243 --> 01:22:26,028
It's such a shame
you were fool enough
1590
01:22:26,071 --> 01:22:29,118
to place your life
in my hands.
1591
01:22:35,863 --> 01:22:37,953
Merry Christmas!
1592
01:23:00,584 --> 01:23:03,239
"The Little Red Lighthouse
And The Great Gray Bridge."
1593
01:23:03,282 --> 01:23:06,459
My dad read that to me
I don't know how many times.
1594
01:23:06,503 --> 01:23:10,246
I drove him crazy about driving me down to the Hudson to see it.
1595
01:23:10,289 --> 01:23:12,030
I-I don't know that book.
1596
01:23:12,074 --> 01:23:13,597
Published in 1942.
1597
01:23:13,640 --> 01:23:15,207
It's a timeless classic,
1598
01:23:15,251 --> 01:23:17,601
penned by Hildegard H. Swift
and illustrated by Lynd Ward,
1599
01:23:17,644 --> 01:23:20,865
about a little red lighthouse,
happy and content,
1600
01:23:20,908 --> 01:23:22,388
until a great bridge is built over it.
1601
01:23:22,432 --> 01:23:24,086
And it must learn that,
small as it may be,
1602
01:23:24,129 --> 01:23:26,610
it still has an important job
to do in this world.
1603
01:23:26,653 --> 01:23:28,438
Really? Anything else?
1604
01:23:28,481 --> 01:23:29,874
What else would
you like to know?
1605
01:23:29,917 --> 01:23:32,007
Who areyou?
1606
01:23:32,050 --> 01:23:34,270
Me? Alvin Luck.
1607
01:23:34,313 --> 01:23:36,837
Only child of Lou and Lois Luck, Erie, P.A.
1608
01:23:36,881 --> 01:23:38,361
Middle-class upbringing,
1609
01:23:38,404 --> 01:23:41,103
avid reader, webmaster
of "Nora Reilly Fanboys."
1610
01:23:41,146 --> 01:23:42,452
I got it.I got it, honey.
1611
01:23:42,495 --> 01:23:44,280
Good. So, well, nice to meet you, Alvin.
1612
01:23:44,323 --> 01:23:46,456
Oh, no.
It's my greatest pleasure.
1613
01:23:46,499 --> 01:23:49,111
Being with you two
is the most exciting moment
1614
01:23:49,154 --> 01:23:50,634
of my entire existence.
1615
01:23:50,677 --> 01:23:54,551
Not including my actual
birth experience, naturally.
1616
01:23:54,594 --> 01:23:57,032
Naturally.
1617
01:24:06,215 --> 01:24:08,304
- Dad!
- Mr. Reilly!
1618
01:24:08,347 --> 01:24:11,046
Regan! In here!
1619
01:24:11,089 --> 01:24:13,918
Regan! Hurry!
1620
01:24:13,961 --> 01:24:16,094
Dad! I'm coming!
1621
01:24:21,056 --> 01:24:22,622
Regan!
1622
01:24:28,063 --> 01:24:29,107
Are you okay?
1623
01:24:29,151 --> 01:24:31,718
I'm all right.
Help Rosita.
1624
01:24:43,643 --> 01:24:44,688
Come on, Regan.
1625
01:24:45,993 --> 01:24:47,691
Come on, baby.
1626
01:25:19,070 --> 01:25:21,333
I love you.
1627
01:25:21,377 --> 01:25:22,552
I love you, too.
1628
01:26:46,766 --> 01:26:48,812
Oh, was it horrible?
1629
01:26:48,855 --> 01:26:52,076
No, no. The dentist
would have been much worse.
1630
01:26:58,430 --> 01:27:01,259
Hmm? Hmm?
1631
01:27:19,234 --> 01:27:21,975
Top-rate jobon the tree, Willy.
1632
01:27:22,019 --> 01:27:23,412
Great tinsel work.
1633
01:27:23,455 --> 01:27:25,370
You hear that, Alvirah?
1634
01:27:25,414 --> 01:27:28,286
Oh, my darling,
there are... no words.
1635
01:27:28,330 --> 01:27:29,505
Alvirah.
1636
01:27:29,548 --> 01:27:31,507
I'm about to begin workon my new book,
1637
01:27:31,550 --> 01:27:34,205
and I could usea research assistant.
1638
01:27:34,249 --> 01:27:35,467
Really?
1639
01:27:35,511 --> 01:27:38,078
Hmm, I wonder
who'd be qualified.
1640
01:27:38,122 --> 01:27:39,384
I'd love to.
1641
01:27:39,428 --> 01:27:41,038
And, Mommy, Uncle Fred taught us
1642
01:27:41,081 --> 01:27:44,041
how to pick out the mostawesomest Christmas tree ever.
1643
01:27:44,084 --> 01:27:45,260
Didn't he, Bobby?
1644
01:27:45,303 --> 01:27:47,044
Well, in that case,
1645
01:27:47,087 --> 01:27:49,438
it's only right for Fred to help us decorate that tree.
1646
01:27:49,481 --> 01:27:51,744
I'd like that very much.
1647
01:27:54,269 --> 01:27:55,792
Room for one more Reilly?
1648
01:27:55,835 --> 01:27:57,315
What a surprise!
1649
01:27:59,099 --> 01:28:00,492
On the drive up,
1650
01:28:00,536 --> 01:28:02,538
I kept trying to come up
with an excuse to be here,
1651
01:28:02,581 --> 01:28:05,192
and... all I got was,
"I'm in the neighborhood."
1652
01:28:05,236 --> 01:28:07,064
Well, since you're here...
1653
01:28:10,415 --> 01:28:13,288
Look, everybody!
It's snowing!
1654
01:28:22,645 --> 01:28:25,474
Just I can't help myself.
