Daring & Grace: Teen Detectives (2000–…): Season 1, Episode 6 - The Case of the Conscious Camera - full transcript
(light chiming)
(ominous music)
- [Radio Operator] This
is security control.
Proceed with Smartcam
security check.
(ominous music)
(alarms blaring)
Test successful.
Please proceed to
checkpoint two.
(ominous music)
(alarm blaring briefly)
(ominous music)
(alarms blaring)
- It's gone!
- [Dick] Dad?
- [Traci] But, you're dead!
- Hardly, someone
tried to kill me.
- Hey, I'm Dick.
- Tracy Grace.
- I want you and Tracy
to take over my agency
and run Daring Investigators.
(rock music)
(keyboard typing)
- Is that your mom?
- Yeah.
Two years ago, just
before she died.
- She's beautiful.
- Yeah, I remember
that Christmas.
A bad case of acne.
- So you want me to type in
"pimple" to access our case?
(slow acoustics)
- There's something
about the picture,
I don't know, the angel maybe?
- No it's my mother's hand.
Dad always said she had
the touch of an angel.
(solemn acoustics)
The bracelet.
- Forever?
- An anniversary gift
from my dad, type it in.
- Vidtex Industries,
one of the world's
top electronics firms.
Their latest invention is
Smartcam surveillance camera
is very high tech, and very
dangerous in the wrong hands.
One of the prototypes was
stolen from this research lab.
The company wants it back.
- Shouldn't the police or
military be tracking it down?
- They are, but the
company wants a backup.
We're it.
- This is way out of our league.
- We can handle it.
- I know you can.
Good luck.
- We have to treat all our
cases with a positive attitude.
- My life has been
turned upside down
because some trained
assassin we call Chin Man
tried to murder my
dad and you want me
to have a positive attitude?
- Right.
Look on the bright side of life.
- You're my partner, not
a motivational speaker.
- Fine, then you
stay here and mope
and I'll go get the bad guys.
- Tell me something,
have you ever once
listened to someone
else's opinion?
- Sure I listened,
just never took it.
(rock music)
- The smartcam is the ultimate
in electronic imaging.
It uses X-ways and magnetic
resonance imaging to create
three-dimensional body
scan of an individual.
Now each body type is
unique, so once programmed
into the Smartcam, that person
can always be identified.
- And if someone's
not programmed in?
- Then they're considered an
intruder and denied entry.
- How?
- Well the Smartcam
will automatically
lock them in and sound
the alarm, or worse.
- Mr. Milstone,
sorry to disturb you
but it's Lieutenant
Murphy on the line.
- Ms. Boxwood was with this
company before I arrived,
she knows every
file, every memo,
every nut and bolt
in this operation.
When she gets sick we have
to close down the plant.
If you'll excuse me.
- 27 years I've been
here and nothing
has ever happened like this.
- Miss Boxwood, besides
locking the intruder in,
what else can the smartcam do?
- It can zap him.
- Excuse me?
- Zap him dead.
(eerie music)
- You say they all checked out?
- Yes sir, every Vidtex
employee who was ever fired
or thought to have a
grudge against the company.
- So, that puts
us at square zero.
(phone ringing)
- It's your phone, sir.
Lieutenant Murphy's office.
Yes, yes he is.
Lieutenant, it's the agency?
- What agency?
Murphy here.
Yes, yes I understand
completely.
Yes, you can count on me sir.
Federal agents have
tracked an arms dealer
from Romania to
here in Rockwater.
They suspect he's arrived
with several million dollars
to purchase the stolen Smartcam.
They want us to keep tabs on
them, report his every move.
- Sounds big.
- Very big.
This dealer will lead
up right to the thief.
With any luck we'll
catch them both.
Brooke, this is the one.
- Which one, Lieutenant?
- The one that moved
me up to Captain.
(ball bouncing)
- Can you do that outside?
I'm trying to concentrate.
- Practicing in tight
spaces gives me the edge.
- Yeah, well it
gives me a headache.
I'm checking out the possibility
of industrial espionage.
High-tech competitors who might
wanna rip off the Smartcam.
- A spy camera that thinks.
Man, I wish they'd invent
a basketball like that.
- Why, so it's programmed
to score with every shot?
What fun would that be?
- Come on, winning's everything.
- Don't tell that to
someone on your first date.
(phone ringing)
Daring Investigators.
It's Bobby.
- [Bobby] I saw her,
she's at our school.
- Who?
- The girl we saw with Chin Man
in the DVD footage
of the antique store.
- How can you be sure?
- I saw what I saw, she
was in the net cafe,
you better get over here quick.
- I um, I better
go check that out.
- Right.
You want me to come?
- Um, no, why
don't you stay here
and work on the case,
I'll handle this alone.
- Yeah, I'm sure you will.
(investigative music)
- Hello Tracy, where's Dick?
- He just left for school.
- Well I was calling
to ask you to send me
any surveillance you've
collected on the antique store,
I wanna check any faces against
Chin Man's known contacts.
- Yeah sure, I'll download
the file right now.
- By the way Tracy,
I've been meaning
to say you're doing a good job.
- Thanks, maybe you should
tell that to your son.
- I need him to
be strong, Tracy.
This Chin Man's a
very dangerous guy,
he won't stop until he's
got exactly what he wants.
- What does he want?
- Me, dead.
- But you already
are in his eyes.
- Maybe not dead enough.
(intense music)
(shuffling)
- Just put it on the table.
(crashing)
This arms dealer, known
to the agency as Polenca,
is constantly on the move.
They figure the exchange
for the Smartcam
will take place before
five PM tomorrow
because that's when Polenca's
booked to fly back to Romania.
Did I call a coffee break?
I've got six of my finest
trailing Polenca right now.
When the drop comes
we'll be there.
What else did you
find in storage?
- Two quarter-inch tape decks,
a hands-free telephone
headset, three speaker phones,
oh and this top of
the line CD player.
200 CD storage capacity,
current pulse DA converter,
advanced mega
storage, CD control,
manual crossfades, gold
plated line output--
- Do you have any idea
what we're doing here?
The agency is counting on us.
- I understand sir,
I'm just not sure why
all this equipment--
- What if one of my
men calls to alert us
that Polenca's on the
move, we have it on tape.
What if we intercept
Polenca's call
to whoever he's buying
a Smartcam for, we
have it on tape.
What if someone goes soft
and calls to turn in
the thief himself?
We have it on tape.
- What if nobody calls?
(rock music)
- So, any sign of our
mysterious sales girl?
- I've been through
the whole school.
I've asked everybody, nothing.
I think Bobby's losing it.
- I've narrowed down this
potential espionage
thing to one company.
Confid Industries, they
do military contracts,
and they also steal
other people's designs.
Twice in six years.
- Then how can they
still be in business?
- Cousin of the under
secretary of defense
is on their board.
- Yeah well if you ask me,
this whole thing should
be handled by the pros.
- What is your problem
with this case anyway?
- Look, son't get me wrong,
I'm all for national security
and all that, but don't
you think we should
be spending more of
our time on Chin Man?
He's in our back yard,
doesn't that make
you slightly nervous?
- Of course it does.
But I also think we
should trust your dad
when he says take it
one step at a time.
- You don't even know my dad.
Maybe he's so stressed out
he can't think straight.
- Oh, then I guess you two
are more alike than I thought.
- Meaning?
- Meaning, you're not thinking
really straight
right now either.
We need to find
someone at Confid
who's angry enough
with the company
to give us any information
about illegal dealings.
- I'm sure the bosses
are gonna love you.
- Well it won't get
to them, I'm only
emailing the message to
middle management and below.
- Well I'm just
gonna, I'm just gonna
check the halls one more
time while you, you know.
- Oh, if you see her,
give her my best.
- This girl's gonna
lead us to the Chin Man.
I can feel it, in my gut.
- Sure it's not the flu?
(phone ringing)
- Daring Investigators?
Vern speaking.
- This is Lieutenant Murphy.
- Good.
Hey, Lieutenant,
how may I help you?
- I've just learned
your agency's
been retained in
the Smartcam case.
I'm assuming Dick and
Tracy have a superior,
I'd like to speak to him.
- I'm afraid that
information is classified.
- Vern, you seem like a
reasonable enough fellow,
so why don't you
just put me through?
- I'm not at liberty to do that.
- You're talking to
an officer of the law.
I need to talk to him.
We have to cooperate, it's a
matter of national security.
- Oh, that does change things.
One moment please.
- Vern, Vern?
- Daring Investigators,
how may I help you?
- It's me, Murphy,
you put me on hold.
- Oh, that does change things.
One moment please.
- Vern.
Vern?
I see.
Two can play this game.
(intense music)
- We're hoping for leads from
disgruntled Confid employees
about any criminal activities
within their company.
- Let's just hope we get
some answers in time.
- Oh, Rockwater High's finest.
I just had a chat with your
illustrious colleague Vern,
charming fellow, could use
some work on his social skills.
Here's a message for whoever's
running your investigation,
just tell them they're already
three steps behind the police.
Let's meet in your office.
- Lieutenant Murphy
and federal agents
are tracking an arms
dealer named Polenca,
I suspect he's here
to buy the Smartcam.
- Then we better
find the thief first.
- Let's see if anyone
at Confid Industries
have the courage to speak up.
(suspenseful music)
We have some replies already.
Ooh, this is juicy.
Lat month I saw our
marketing director
leave the building late
at night with Ms. Amber,
his newly hired 19
year old secretary?
There's another one.
Our Chief of Operations, Mr.
McHagardy took a cab ride
to pick up his son after
school, and billed it
to the company as a
promotional expense.
- [Dick] Serious stuff.
- Wait, there's one more.
Hi Tracy?
We enjoyed getting your email.
Unfortunately this is
where the game ends.
Love, Confid Security.
(rock music)
- So your email to
Confid Industries
was intercepted by
upper management.
- Now we have no way of knowing
if Confid was behind the
theft of the Smartcam.
- That's why we called you.
We're a little stuck.
- We can't get any
more information.
- You have all you need.
If Confid stole the camera,
they'd copy it and
market it themselves.
Only an individual would
sell the camera to
the highest bidder.
- Yeah but if it's an individual
then it has to be an inside job,
and everyone at
Vidtex checks out.
- Anyone that's smart enough
to bypass a state of the art
security system is smart
enough to slip detection.
- So how do we catch him?
- Slippery characters
feel the heat.
- Slippery characters
feel the heat?
Profound.
Why didn't I think of that?
- You will, with more training.
Good luck.
- I won't be cooking tonight,
I have a yoga class til 9:30.
Just promise me
you won't order in.
- Promise.
- Good.
Help yourself to
whatever's in the fridge,
I always try to keep it
full of the right food.
- And Claire?
Could I ask you something?
- Sure.
- How would you know if
you were dealing with a,
a slippery character?
- What are you doing?
- Years of aggressive
introspection
have only begun to heal the
wounds from my ex fiance.
He was the prince of slippery.
One week before our wedding,
he slipped away
with my best friend.
- Was there anything
that could've
clued you into how
slippery he was?
- As the wedding
approached, he became
more and more nervous, and
the more nervous he got,
the sweatier his hands became.
Slippery characters
always feel the heat.
(eerie music)
(intense music)
- No more mission control for
Bobby, it's field agent time.
(intense music)
Oh, I'm sorry, I thought
you were somebody else.
Say Henry, you ever
seen another girl
around here that looks like her?
Blonde, beautiful, looks
like she doesn't belong?
- Uh-Uh.
- Look, Henry, I
know that you stand
on this spot every spare period.
That's an hour and
a half each day,
so you couldn't
help noticing her?
- Uh-Uh.
(phone ringing)
(intense music)
- Murphy.
Are you sure?
Alright, this is it,
hold your position,
and keep out of sight.
Did you get anything?
- The Smartcam at the
main entrance is the last,
they're now set up at
all the exit points
throughout the building.
- And each one has been
programmed with a new
sensing feature that
we've asked for?
- When the Smartcam identifies
someone with that peculiarity
it should sound the alarm,
but I warn you, it's untested.
- Yeah well, so's our theory.
This could be the dumbest
idea we've ever come up with.
- Excuse me Mr. Milstone,
but what exactly
is this new feature
you're referring to?
- I'm sorry Ms. Boxwood, but
if our plan is going to work
we need to operate on
a need-to-know basis.
- Of course, I understand.
- This could take some time.
- Why don't I go out and
get us a little something?
- Thanks.
- The Smartcam exchange
is going down anytime now.
And I'll be there.
- But, what if whoever
stole the Smartcam
left before we ever
set up all the cameras?
And now he's passing it onto
Polenca the arms dealer?
- Then the authorities
will catch him in the act.
- Oh he's too smart for that,
he'll just lay low and
then find another buyer.
(alarms blaring)
Ms. Boxwood?
(intense music)
- [Security Officer]
Hey hey, hold it!
- What are you doing?
(intense music)
Is this how I'm treated
after 27 years of service?
- Obviously there's
been a mistake.
- We heard the alarm,
what's going...
You.
- Let go of me!
- I'm sorry Ms. Boxwood, please
accept my sincere apologies.
- Really sir, she
hardly looks the type,
I'm sure there's a perfectly
good explanation for all this.
- I told you that
feature was untested.
- Thank you, thank you officer.
Now if you'll excuse me, I still
have to get snacks for everyone.
(intense music)
- Wait!
- That's private
property, you have
no right to go through
a woman's purse!
No right at all!
- What're you doing now?
(intense music)
- Polenca, Ms. Boxwood?
- Was someone feeling the heat?
(intense music)
(ball bouncing)
- So that new sensing feature
on the Smartcam worled
pretty well, eh?
- Calculating the
amount of perspiration
on someone's palm just may be
a surveillance breakthrough.
- Well, caught Ms. Boxwood.
- Poor Murphy, when
he arrested her
I thought he was going
into arrest himself.
- What I can't get
over is how she managed
to bypass a security system
to steal the Smartcam?
- Well, 27 years around
high-tech technology,
something's bound to
rub off, even for you.
- And she did all this
just to get even with some
company who was forcing
her into early retirement?
- And for two million bucks.
(phone ringing)
- Daring Investigators.
- You gotta get over here.
- What's up?
- It's her, the girl from the
antique store, I swear it.
- Bobby, I searched
the entire school okay,
and I asked everybody.
Trust me the girl you
saw was not the one
from the surveillance footage.
- Are you willing to
bet Dad's life on it?
(intense music)
(rock music)
(ominous music)
- [Radio Operator] This
is security control.
Proceed with Smartcam
security check.
(ominous music)
(alarms blaring)
Test successful.
Please proceed to
checkpoint two.
(ominous music)
(alarm blaring briefly)
(ominous music)
(alarms blaring)
- It's gone!
- [Dick] Dad?
- [Traci] But, you're dead!
- Hardly, someone
tried to kill me.
- Hey, I'm Dick.
- Tracy Grace.
- I want you and Tracy
to take over my agency
and run Daring Investigators.
(rock music)
(keyboard typing)
- Is that your mom?
- Yeah.
Two years ago, just
before she died.
- She's beautiful.
- Yeah, I remember
that Christmas.
A bad case of acne.
- So you want me to type in
"pimple" to access our case?
(slow acoustics)
- There's something
about the picture,
I don't know, the angel maybe?
- No it's my mother's hand.
Dad always said she had

Daring Investigators.
It's Bobby.
- [Bobby] I saw her,
she's at our school.
- Who?
- The girl we saw with Chin Man
in the DVD footage
of the antique store.
- How can you be sure?
- I saw what I saw, she
was in the net cafe,
you better get over here quick.
- I um, I better
go check that out.

- Hello Tracy, where's Dick?
- He just left for school.
- Well I was calling
to ask you to send me
any surveillance you've
collected on the antique store,
I wanna check any faces against
Chin Man's known contacts.
- Yeah sure, I'll download
the file right now.
- By the way Tracy,
I've been meaning
to say you're doing a good job.
- Thanks, maybe you should
tell that to your son.
- I need him to
be strong, Tracy.
This Chin Man's a
very dangerous guy,
he won't stop until he's
got exactly what he wants.
- What does he want?
- Me, dead.
- But you already
are in his eyes.
- Maybe not dead enough.
(intense music)
(shuffling)
- Just put it on the table.
(crashing)
This arms dealer, known
to the agency as Polenca,
is constantly on the move.
They figure the exchange
for the Smartcam
will take place before
five PM tomorrow
because that's when Polenca's
booked to fly back to Romania.
Did I call a coffee break?
I've got six of my finest
trailing Polenca right now.
When the drop comes
we'll be there.
What else did you
find in storage?
- Two quarter-inch tape decks,
a hands-free telephone
headset, three speaker phones,
oh and this top of
the line CD player.
200 CD storage capacity,
current pulse DA converter,
advanced mega
storage, CD control,
manual crossfades, gold
plated line output--
- Do you have any idea
what we're doing here?
The agency is counting on us.
- I understand sir,
I'm just not sure why
all this equipment--
- What if one of my
men calls to alert us
that Polenca's on the
move, we have it on tape.
What if we intercept
Polenca's call
to whoever he's buying
a Smartcam for, we
have it on tape.
What if someone goes soft
and calls to turn in
the thief himself?
We have it on tape.
- What if nobody calls?
(rock music)
- So, any sign of our
mysterious sales girl?
- I've been through
the whole school.
I've asked everybody, nothing.
I think Bobby's losing it.
- I've narrowed down this
potential espionage
thing to one company.
Confid Industries, they
do military contracts,
and they also steal
other people's designs.
Twice in six years.
- Then how can they
still be in business?
- Cousin of the under
secretary of defense
is on their board.
- Yeah well if you ask me,
this whole thing should
be handled by the pros.
- What is your problem
with this case anyway?
- Look, son't get me wrong,
I'm all for national security
and all that, but don't
you think we should
be spending more of
our time on Chin Man?
He's in our back yard,
doesn't that make
you slightly nervous?
- Of course it does.
But I also think we
should trust your dad
when he says take it
one step at a time.
- You don't even know my dad.
Maybe he's so stressed out
he can't think straight.
- Oh, then I guess you two
are more alike than I thought.
- Meaning?
- Meaning, you're not thinking
really straight
right now either.
We need to find
someone at Confid
who's angry enough
with the company
to give us any information
about illegal dealings.
- I'm sure the bosses
are gonna love you.
- Well it won't get
to them, I'm only
emailing the message to
middle management and below.
- Well I'm just
gonna, I'm just gonna
check the halls one more
time while you, you know.
- Oh, if you see her,
give her my best.
- This girl's gonna
lead us to the Chin Man.
I can feel it, in my gut.
- Sure it's not the flu?
(phone ringing)
- Daring Investigators?
Vern speaking.
- This is Lieutenant Murphy.
- Good.
Hey, Lieutenant,
how may I help you?
- I've just learned
your agency's
been retained in
the Smartcam case.
I'm assuming Dick and
Tracy have a superior,
I'd like to speak to him.
- I'm afraid that

- Vern, you seem like a

so why don't you
just put me through?
- I'm not at liberty to do that.
- You're talking to
an officer of the law.
I need to talk to him.
We have to cooperate, it's a
matter of national security.
- Oh, that does change things.
One moment please.
- Vern, Vern?
- Daring Investigators,
how may I help you?
- It's me, Murphy,
you put me on hold.
- Oh, that does change things.
One moment please.
- Vern.
Vern?
I see.
Two can play this game.
(intense music)
- We're hoping for leads from
disgruntled Confid employees
about any criminal activities
within their company.
- Let's just hope we get
some answers in time.
- Oh, Rockwater High's finest.
I just had a chat with your
illustrious colleague Vern,
charming fellow, could use
some work on his social skills.
Here's a message for whoever's
running your investigation,
just tell them they're already
three steps behind the police.
Let's meet in your office.
- Lieutenant Murphy
and federal agents
are tracking an arms
dealer named Polenca,
I suspect he's here
to buy the Smartcam.
- Then we better
find the thief first.
- Let's see if anyone
at Confid Industries
have the courage to speak up.
(suspenseful music)
We have some replies already.
Ooh, this is juicy.
Lat month I saw our
marketing director
leave the building late
at night with Ms. Amber,
his newly hired 19
year old secretary?
There's another one.
Our Chief of Operations, Mr.
McHagardy took a cab ride
to pick up his son after
school, and billed it
to the company as a
promotional expense.
- [Dick] Serious stuff.
- Wait, there's one more.
Hi Tracy?
We enjoyed getting your email.
Unfortunately this is
where the game ends.
Love, Confid Security.
(rock music)
- So your email to
Confid Industries
was intercepted by
upper management.
- Now we have no way of knowing
if Confid was behind the
theft of the Smartcam.
- That's why we called you.
We're a little stuck.
- We can't get any
more information.
- You have all you need.
If Confid stole the camera,
they'd copy it and
market it themselves.
Only an individual would
sell the camera to
the highest bidder.
- Yeah but if it's an individual
then it has to be an inside job,
and everyone at
Vidtex checks out.
- Anyone that's smart enough
to bypass a state of the art
security system is smart
enough to slip detection.
- So how do we catch him?
- Slippery characters
feel the heat.
- Slippery characters
feel the heat?
Profound.
Why didn't I think of that?
- You will, with more training.
Good luck.
- I won't be cooking tonight,
I have a yoga class til 9:30.
Just promise me
you won't order in.
- Promise.
- Good.
Help yourself to
whatever's in the fridge,
I always try to keep it
full of the right food.
- And Claire?
Could I ask you something?
- Sure.
- How would you know if
you were dealing with a,
a slippery character?
- What are you doing?
- Years of aggressive
introspection
have only begun to heal the
wounds from my ex fiance.
He was the prince of slippery.
One week before our wedding,
he slipped away
with my best friend.
- Was there anything
that could've
clued you into how
slippery he was?
- As the wedding
approached, he became
more and more nervous, and
the more nervous he got,
the sweatier his hands became.
Slippery characters
always feel the heat.
(eerie music)
(intense music)
- No more mission control for
Bobby, it's field agent time.
(intense music)
Oh, I'm sorry, I thought
you were somebody else.
Say Henry, you ever
seen another girl
around here that looks like her?
Blonde, beautiful, looks
like she doesn't belong?
- Uh-Uh.
- Look, Henry, I
know that you stand
on this spot every spare period.
That's an hour and
a half each day,
so you couldn't
help noticing her?
- Uh-Uh.
(phone ringing)
(intense music)
- Murphy.
Are you sure?
Alright, this is it,
hold your position,
and keep out of sight.
Did you get anything?
- The Smartcam at the
main entrance is the last,
they're now set up at
all the exit points
throughout the building.
- And each one has been
programmed with a new
sensing feature that
we've asked for?
- When the Smartcam identifies
someone with that peculiarity
it should sound the alarm,
but I warn you, it's untested.
- Yeah well, so's our theory.
This could be the dumbest
idea we've ever come up with.
- Excuse me Mr. Milstone,
but what exactly
is this new feature
you're referring to?
- I'm sorry Ms. Boxwood, but
if our plan is going to work
we need to operate on
a need-to-know basis.
- Of course, I understand.
- This could take some time.
- Why don't I go out and
get us a little something?
- Thanks.
- The Smartcam exchange
is going down anytime now.
And I'll be there.
- But, what if whoever
stole the Smartcam
left before we ever
set up all the cameras?
And now he's passing it onto
Polenca the arms dealer?
- Then the authorities
will catch him in the act.
- Oh he's too smart for that,
he'll just lay low and
then find another buyer.
(alarms blaring)
Ms. Boxwood?
(intense music)
- [Security Officer]
Hey hey, hold it!
- What are you doing?
(intense music)
Is this how I'm treated
after 27 years of service?
- Obviously there's
been a mistake.
- We heard the alarm,
what's going...
You.
- Let go of me!
- I'm sorry Ms. Boxwood, please
accept my sincere apologies.
- Really sir, she
hardly looks the type,
I'm sure there's a perfectly
good explanation for all this.
- I told you that
feature was untested.
- Thank you, thank you officer.
Now if you'll excuse me, I still
have to get snacks for everyone.
(intense music)
- Wait!
- That's private
property, you have
no right to go through
a woman's purse!
No right at all!
- What're you doing now?
(intense music)
- Polenca, Ms. Boxwood?
- Was someone feeling the heat?
(intense music)
(ball bouncing)
- So that new sensing feature
on the Smartcam worled
pretty well, eh?
- Calculating the
amount of perspiration
on someone's palm just may be
a surveillance breakthrough.
- Well, caught Ms. Boxwood.
- Poor Murphy, when
he arrested her
I thought he was going
into arrest himself.
- What I can't get
over is how she managed
to bypass a security system
to steal the Smartcam?
- Well, 27 years around
high-tech technology,
something's bound to
rub off, even for you.
- And she did all this
just to get even with some
company who was forcing
her into early retirement?
- And for two million bucks.
(phone ringing)
- Daring Investigators.
- You gotta get over here.
- What's up?
- It's her, the girl from the
antique store, I swear it.
- Bobby, I searched
the entire school okay,
and I asked everybody.
Trust me the girl you
saw was not the one
from the surveillance footage.
- Are you willing to
bet Dad's life on it?
