When did this happen! About an hour ago, right after midnight! Any idea where she is? Only apartments on it, every man! Ed do you have anything to go on, anything at all? All units have been alerted.

Well it was a dame, and they way she kept going on about not getting her apricot pie on the way, her sonny boy always brought it home when he came home from work. Couldnt tell what she missed most, the sonny boy or the pie. So! So! Shes worried about her boy. Her boy is 32 years old. Id just thought Id mention it captain. Thanks! Give it to Ogalty! Yeah! I already have! It might be worth a call! Why Sam! Some dame calls up because a boy doesnt report on home on time. We get that kind of a call every night! Yes but if this 32 year old guy is still tied to his mother's apron strings, maybe this is the night hes been saving it all up to break loose. What do you think? Maybe Sam is right! It maybe worth a call! Adams-3-1-7-6! Harold Loftus! Hello! Is this Mrs. Loftus! Yes! This is Captain Bates down at Central Police Station. Im just checking in that report you put on your son. What did she do? She hung up! Wouldnt buy it! Vince Bates! Look! Theres a phone number listed under the name of Loftus. Adams-3-1-7-6! Get the street and the address!

Captain shes my girl! Where did you get the idea shes youre girl? Look! Youve been on my back all night will you get off? I wish somebody getting the idea that this is police work and not something for sweethearts and fathers, just cops! Any guy who take a girl up on a place like the loop. You may not like it Mr. Taggart, but we were forced up there. What! Who forced you? You did! Boy I ought to break you and half. Why was Liz always making excuses about not wanting me to meet her father, what was she afraid of? Dont you talk to me like that! Whos gonna stop me! Now Dan! Ed I told you keep out of this! Look!

I'll go out there and tell them that I'm alright and then they'll let you go! I know what you'll tell them. You're hurting me! You think I don't know anything, I'll show them how much I know. Ow! Ow-hohow! Oh! Come on! I can't! I can't walk! Car 73! Mack Avoy reporting! Two! What do you got? On the Taggart case weve found the car. Where! The old brickyard on the east side of town. Cross the railroad viaduct. Wait a minute tell it to the captain. Captain Bates! Radio sir! Okay Vince Ill talk to Mack. Mack! Listen to me! Ogalty seems to thing that you got this guy tagged. So lay low and give us a few minutes to get out there. Maybe split up and have one of you take the gate. We dont want to panic this into hurting Taggarts kid , but we dont want him to get away. He wont get away captain. Okay! Im counting on you and Grant! Dont let me down! Captain if he does anything to that girl, Ill Tear him kid! Ill help you! Ill take the gate. Okay! I thought the brickyard is east of town. Were detouring for a minute in 20 seconds to pick up a cop named Taggart. He couldnt just disappear without a trace. Where could he taken her? I dont know! The guys a.nut! A Looney like that could do anything. Dan! Will we ever see Liz alive again? If we dont, youll know whos fault it will be. Whos fault! You cant mean Helens fault. Why Helens fault! Why not yours? What do you mean by that? Youve gone crazy too? Maybe! Maybe I went crazy 15 years ago. Now dont you bring that up now! Why not? Dont tell me it hurts. Dont tell me you learned anything these last 15 years. The thing on my mind tonight is Liz. Nothing else! Nothing? Not even a sneaking suspicion you may be the reason on whats happened to Liz. Me? Please Madge! Please dont say anymore! Oh why not! Hasnt he done enough damage? Isnt that time he what hes told. Told? Told what? What are you talking about? Why do you think Liz and that boy did up on that hill? Because Liz was afraid to bring him home. Because she was afraid on what you might do to him. What! What would I do to him? Browbeat him! Question him! The third degree is only you can pour it all and the poor kid would tell and run. Alright! Maybe I am a little extra carful on who goes out with my kid. But I got a good reason to be. Im a policeman! I know what goes on I see it every day in my life. For 20 years, I dealt with nothing but thieves with vultures with dirt! You think you want my kid to be part of that? Isnt that exactly what she is part of tonight? And you blame me for that? Helen! You dont believe that do you? You dont think anything like that. How many times do I have asked you to stop being a cop at home and just be a father, a good father? I am a good father. Id kill anybody trying to hurt me kid! Thats it Dan! Liz was always a policemans daughter. Not just another child. All the kids on the block stared clear that youre such a good father. Same way on your such a good brother. The same way Dan! All these years, youve held out against me, huh Madge? Well let me tell you something. Charlie Collins was a no good fore-flushing liar. I did you the greater favor the day I booted him out of the house. Do you still think you did me a favor? You never asked me if I loved him. Anything? That brickyard down across the railroad viaduct. They think thats where hes got her. Ed! You wont let him hurt Liz. Youll do everything you can. Well do all we can. Everyone of us! Alright now, come on! Even if I could walk, I wouldn't do you any good. They'll find you wherever you go. Where I'm going they won't find us. Look! you're my girl now! They're not going to take you away from me. Not when I'm alive! Theyre still here captain! Okay get in! What a place! Straight ahead captain! Alright! Whispering Liz! Any sign of him? Not a thing! A thousand places around here a rat could barrow. Hey where did that boy get to? He left us back there. Well dont worry if he sees anything, hell holar. Mac! You and Grant see if you can find an entrance to the plant. Right captain! Hey! Here's how you're rat got out! Let's get him out of here! Watch yourself Dan! We'll be right back! Right! Liz! Liz! Daddy don't! Daddy stop! Please stop! Mommy help me! Take him away will you Ed?! Oh Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! Come on home! You too! |
