You realize that Mike giving you this case is like other guys giving you flowers. Yeah, never really been much for flowers. He cant do right by you can he? What?

Sort of. What was the offer? Qualified mistrust. Yeah. Exactly. So let me get this straight. You do this every year? Every year. So this is her, huh? This is Christina. This years version.

Come on, you were seventeen years old. She knew what she was doing. You didnt. Maybe. But she was beautiful and I loved her. Well then she was lucky. - Are you feeling lucky? Are you gonna go to the nightclub with me or what? Last time we played sleuth I didnt feel so good. Yeah but theres a missing kid that could sure use our help. And the last place he was seen happened to be a nightclub full of hotties. Well when you put it that way. Let me get my coat. What happened to the other 480 paintings?

He was here Tuesday night? and he didnt show up for a booking the next day. Maybe he met someone? - He doesnt miss bookings. - Things happen So you havent seen him? I meet a lot of people. Most of them start looking the same after a while. - Do you have any problem with drugs here? - I run a clean club. Well, like you said, things happen. You mix hormones, *** and Boys will be boys Yes, they will. Did Brendan ever act up with anyone here? You? As I said, I dont remember him. How about someone acting up with him? Lots of people whod want something from a beautiful young man. - You mean *** predators? - Yes If you could tell me how to spot them Id stop them but uh, they hide in plain sight now, dont they? My club is safe, Ms. Nelson Ask around, no ones ever come to any harm here. - Anything else? - I think were done here. Thank you. Shes hiding something. Too bad its not that tattoo. - When did you become a prude? - Five minutes ago. Funny, thats when the case became interesting for me. All right, so how do you know shes hiding something? Her heart started beating faster when she said shed never met him. Oh, youre the best lie detector a girl could have. What about you? Well, she got a little edgy when you said boys will be boys' and she used the term *** predator, not me. - So? - So, it shows where her minds at. Its interesting. Where was your mind at with that girl? On the job of course. - Mmm, find anything interesting? - Possibly. - Fox City. - Fox City. Hm Its frat boys and wannabes posting pictures of their conquests. - Space Invaders? - It's my favourite video game Ah. And what? Brendan posted to this site? Hes MC. Model Citizen. We can search by poster Dear Lord. Do the girls know about this? Check out the comments. The ever popular Im so hot. Heres Id do me. And my favorite, I need this shot for my college application. Whatever happened to the winsome awkwardness of teenagers? You know, theyre endearing shyness? - Different website. - Sure Go go Oh, stop! ***' ink You got that right. Hi. - Hi. - Detective Mike Celluci. Im, uh, looking for a kid who may have gone missing? A Brendan Ledford. Your manager around? Do you think the manager actually knows something about what goes on around here? Yeah, sounds like my chief. Listen, um you ever seen this kid around? Apparently he hung out here. Well, he must be popular. A couple of people were here last night asking about him. - A woman with glasses? - Yeah, and a young guy. Thats, uh, Vicki Nelson. Shes a private eye. But, uh, this became a police matter a couple of hours ago. You ever seen him around? Im afraid Im the owner so I guess that makes me kinda useless Ah. Well, I somehow doubt that. Well, I wish I could help you but hes not familiar. Yeah. Well I guess a lot of people pass through here, huh? Yeah, even those you wish would stay longer. So the picture of the tattoo proves she knows him. Thereby proving shes a liar. Cant hide that note of glee, can you? Dont deny me my small pleasures Henry. So if were going to lean on her to try to get some more information, I call Brisco. Actually, were counting on her not being home. And were PIs, not cops. - Columbo, then? - Also a cop. - Cannon? - You want to be Cannon? Fat? Balding? Good point. Well it appears that no ones home. You wanna check? We good to go? - Its Friday night, she should be at her club. - If it is her, somethings wrong. Her heartbeats too slow. Well then, we proceed with plan A. Vicki. Show off. - There. - What? - It's a statue. - Vick it's still alive Let's go Wait Is it true that policemen cant drink on duty? It is true theyre not supposed to, yeah. - What kind of policeman are you? - The off duty kind. Mmm, that seems promising. So, are we gonna stand out here all night or are we - Is someone here? - No, there shouldnt be. - Dont. - Wait here. - Can you even see? - Not much. Look, get get in the car. Well argue about whos driving later! - I think it was just a noise. - Well, lets be sure. Floor it! This is the actual Brendan Ledford? - In the actual non-flesh? - It is So, what did she do to him? Is she a witch or something? It might be a spell but in the turns-to-stone department Im thinking a basilisk or a gorgon? - Great, ones an herb, the others a cheese. - Basilisk. half-chicken, half-lizard. One look and youre ***. The gorgons were sisters, Greek myth. - Also practiced turning people to stone. - Oh wait, was one of them named Medusa? - Youve been reading. - I read. Firearms manuals. If it is a gorgon were looking for, all Elena has in her arsenal is being greek - No snakes, no ugly. - And not a lot of basilisk sightings in town Ever, actually Nevertheless, Ill keep my eyes open for a chicken-lizard. - Why would you do that? - Because we were face to face with the woman and werent turned to stone. Oh youre trying to make me keep an open mind, arent you? I know better than to do that. Speaking of which, Mike was at the house. What? Michael Celluci, of your acquaintance, was at the home of Elena Kanapolous, suspected gorgon. As we were leaving, I saw him. Huh, Its been 48 hours since the missing persons case was filed. Homicide handles missing persons so Mike just caught the case, thats all. - Shouldnt he have been at the nightclub? - Regardless, its not a conflict. We share cases with Mike always. Shouldnt you be trying to, you know; figure out a way to break this spell or whatever it is? I mean, there is still a 22 year old boy alive in here We, apparently, are the only people who can help him. Brendan posts phone pictures of his conquests to a website, Fox City? - Elenas on it. - Sure its him posting her? She has a very distinctive tattoo. Any pictures of her face? Mike, its her. She lied about knowing Brendan We both know that lies never stand alone. Yeah, so you got a phone camera picture of a tattoo. - You think thats gonna hold up in court? - Are you defending her? No, Im just asking police 101 type questions here all right? Youve got a phone camera picture of a tattoo, point one. Am I right? Look, we could confirm it was Brendans. All right, you got any witnesses that saw them together? Huh? A-any priors? Hey, how about motive? Is she upset that he, uh, didnt tip a waitress or something? Did you even run her? I ran her, her address and her company. No priors, no complaints, no nothing. - But it doesnt mean theres nothing to find. - Yeah, it doesnt sound like you found it either Mike, she knows him. She saw him the night he disappeared and shes got a really weird attitude about *** assault. - Weird. - Yeah, she thinks it only happens to women. Vicki, a lot of people think that. It doesnt make her guilty. Youve decided shes innocent? No, Im just following the facts. What are you doing? I mean, why havent you informed your client that this is a police matter now? I sent her my bill. - So why are you following it? - This kid needs my help. - Oh, right, because the police arent help enough huh? - No, not when they dont listen. No, you know what? How I operate as a cop and how I operate in my personal life, you dont get a say in that any more. Okay? Seriously, Vicki, why dont we just end this now? Okay? No harm, no foul. Just come back to my office. Theres something I need to show Its evidence No, I cant. Elena had a break-in last night. I gotta do paperwork later. Homicide cop doing a robbery? - Anything missing? - No Nothing Why? Nothing Yeah If you say so - Your boss here? - No I thought we had a connection you and I? Okay, Aristotle, you can just give her a message then. Ask her Does her house feel empty? Was issuing a challenge wise? Now she knows were on to her. It makes most criminals nervous. She didnt seem like the nervous type. Yeah Someones here. Vicki, wait. Im nearly there I was cleaning up and I thought, um, well maybe I could put these pieces back together. I could do that, couldnt I? This is going to be a fun call to make. Hey I found your client. Hes in a million pieces in a box in my office. - Vicki - Ill just tell her Brendan left town. End of story. She just wanted her money anyway. Maybe you should figure this out tomorrow. Right now, you could use some sleep. Yeah, sleep. Thats a sweet solution. I could sleep half my life away. Im sorry. Yeah, what is it about being young anyways? Why are we always insanely attracted to the bad boy, hm? The bad girl. Im sure Brendan thought there was something more. - Yeah, her looks. - Beauty isnt everything. Its a lot. But when it goes, and it does, you have to have a deeper connection. Do you think Brendan had that with Elena? Sometimes it only goes one way. But you never find out until its too late. Your story with Christina? Yes. Mikes looking into the break-in at Elenas. He doesnt do that for a living. - Do you think hes interested? - You saw her. Mike is not that person, Vick. None of us are that person anymore. Not since we started looking into your world. Well, thanks again for your help, though. Helpful? A couple of people think they saw him on Tuesday night, but no ones really sure. - Im sorry. - Apparently, though, Brendan was crushing on you. Youre kidding. The waitress there says that, uh, you get a little too much of that kind of action to take notice. Well I wish Id noticed. I could have been more helpful. What are you going to do now? - Ill conduct some more interviews, do some credit checks and um stuff. - Stuff you cant talk about? Not with a civilian, no. - And Im a civilian? - Would you rather be a suspect. Depends. Are you going to interrogate me? I might just have to do that. - Well, then, be suspicious. Uh Detective Celluci, have you had a chance to speak to Dimitri? Yeah, yeah we spoke earlier. About that boy. Right. I mostly remember the ones who cause trouble. Apparently he had a crush on me. Go figure. Im gonna set up out front. - Hey, let me help you with that. - I dont need your help. - I thought we were going out? - This will just take a minute. I admire her. Weve worked together for a while now. Must hurt to see all those guys chasing after her, huh? If she doesnt get hurt, its none of my business. Oh, so if she does, it is? Thats not what I mean. A lot of good looking guys, too. Thats pretty tough competition for you. Looks arent everything. Yeah, you say that, but Elenas a very beautiful woman. Why dont you ask me questions about the kid? Arent you supposed to be looking for him? Thats what Im doing. I dont know anything. I havent seen him. And Elena can take care of herself. Were there statues at the nightclub? Not that I noticed. Did you hear anything? A lot of bodies, a lot of heartbeats. There was that one section we didnt get into. The VIP section. I have a bad feeling Brendans not the only one. We can go back and check it out if you like. If there are, I want you to take pictures of them. Okay? See if we can ID them. - Youre not coming? - I dont think Im welcome there. Why dont you take Coreen? Besides, theres something I have to do. I.D. A compliment, thank you. I.D. please, Miss. If you wanted my name and number, why didnt you just ask, you big lug? Huh? Strike three and youre out. I.D. Thanks. I wish wed met a different way. - Yeah? Why is that? - Because youre so honorable. Youre investigating this missing kid and maybe Im part of the picture so you cant I cant what? Have a glass of wine? Too late. No, thats not what Im thinking. Youre not attracted to me? No, of course I am Elena. Its just that, uh, Im a little out of practice with um the whole dating thing. Well then, lets practice. Is it that woman with the glasses? The private detective? Vicki? No. Because when I said shed been to the club you reacted strangely. She used to be a cop and uh we used to be partners. But, uh nothing more than that. You dont seem sure. No, Im sure. Listen, maybe we should, uh, call it a night, huh? - You dont find me beautiful? - Elena I like you a lot. But, uh a woman, whos not happy with the way she looks, theres no changing her mind so uh if you need me to tell you what should be obvious Oh, no, no, no. No I dont. Its uh Id like to see you again. You will. Okay. Good night. Where did you get this software? It would be better if you pretended it wasnt here. Does that say FBI? We have a match! Ryan Henderson. How did she get her hooks in you? I cant find any way to turn the statues back. Its nowhere in the mythology. Dont all spells end when the witch dies? Spells and witches, Vicki, different strokes. But I did research the Medusa myth a little deeper. Its actually a really horrible story. - Obviously. - No, for her. Medusa is this beautiful young woman whom Poseidon covets. He follows her to the temple of Athena one day and rapes her. Very standard operating procedures in the day. Then Athena gets mad about the desecration of her temple, blames Medusa, turns her into this hideous creature. The snakes, the stone gaze, all of it. She gets punished for being ***. So her nightclub is the temple? And anyone attracted to her beauty is punished. Considering what happened to her the first time When I was a cop I met people whod been through horrific abuse and violence and then there would be ones who would turn it around and would use it against other people and cry victim at the same time. You know, its a choice and its a bad one. She doesnt get to work out her issues by turning kids to stone. Are you gonna tell Mike about this? Mike doesnt want to know. Maybe you should. If hes getting busy with the bad lady Hey Coreen, its Mike. Is Vicki there? All right. Uh, hey. You got a minute? So youre telling me that Elena is Turning guys to stone as she re-lives her *** trauma and seeks revenge? Yep, and theres more. - Oh wait, wa Im still processing the first part. A couple of our statue dudes used to post on Fox City. Their last postings are within a week of their disappearances. Hey! Its Ryan Henderson. Remember him? - Excuse me. - how about him? Hmm? Or him? - Now I know why Mike thinks youre crazy. - Okay, lets see Brendan Ledford. Come on. You must remember him. He was alive a couple days ago and now hes dead. Yeah, its very sad, struck down in his youth and beauty and all that. - Yep. Like all of them. Like you. I know you had a rough go of it back then. Doesnt excuse you now Medusa. You think you know something about me? Oh yeah, Mike? He doesnt think Im crazy, he knows I am. Thats what bothers you, isnt it? You pretend its about all these young men, but, uh, if he wasnt sniffing around, would you be? Well heres what you dont understand about anyone whos worked homicide. We cant stop speaking for the dead. The mythical Medusa was slain. She died centuries ago. Yes, and when Perseus killed her, some of her spilled blood had the power to raise the dead, so why cant she be self-resurrecting? You have been reading. Yes, Ive been reading, and Im wondering, why are you stalling? Motivation counts Ms. Nelson. Do you know why youre doing this? That 22 year old kid did not deserve to be killed because he fell in love with a pretty face. You should understand that. And Mike. Mike might be in danger. And Im not okay with that. - If I do this, Im doing this for you. Theres one more thing. I could hold that. And let you do my dirty work? That would be the easy way out wouldnt it? Im doing this. - Its not like killing a Wendigo or a Demon; shes human in many respects. Just what shes showing us. Shes not going to be easy to kill. I know. Then maybe this isnt your job. Have you ever killed a human being? My third year on the force. This kid has got a bead on my partner; hes ready to pull the trigger. And I tap him. He died almost instantly. And theres pretty much not a day that goes by that I dont think about that. I dont have that problem. I dont believe you. Sometimes I think you forget what I am. Sometimes I try to forget. Im not going to be haunted by this. This is mine. Because I think you forget who you could be. Im worried about that woman. And the cop. Break the statues Dimitri, every last one of them and get rid of them. Whats wrong with the statues? Theyre bloodstains and Im the knife. - No, thats not true. You think you know me because youve seen me change? - I do know you. And Im not afraid. Every one of those statues is a person, Dimitri. A shallow, beautiful person that tried to hurt me. And theyre still alive in there. You think you know me now? Hey. Its quiet here tonight. - Thats cause were closed. Its nice to see you. You too. Listen, do you think theres a chance we could, uh, find a place to talk? Dimitri Im starving. Can ya go down the street and get me somethin? You know, I was uh, wondering about something and I hope you dont take offense. Last night, there wassomething in the waythings were between us the way you talked about your looks. Look, I really hope that Im-Im not out of line here but it-it made me think that maybe something happened to you in your past. That maybe somebody had hurt you. Because if that was the case, you know I think I could help you. I want to. He said he loved me but he didnt even know me and then when I tried to leave, he he grabbed me and he-he *** me. - Im sorry. - And and-and and then he went and he told everyone, and-and they said that I deserved it because I was vain and it was my fault. - So you were innocent and they blamed you. Yeah, like-like I wanted to be violated. They destroyed me, they-they made me hideous. - No, Youre not. I am. Ive done things. You dont know. You cant let these people just walk around like they own everything that they see. So you take care of them. This guy who *** you, these people who blamed you, they still around? Yeah, theyre always around. Have you found a way to take care of them? Because if you didnt I can help with that. No I found a way. Good good for you. What are you looking at? Hm? Elena Im here for you. You think you know. You think you understand? Youre all the same! Take it easy. You had to do it. Doesnt make it any easier. You guys okay? - Yeah, you? - Yeah. - Hey. - Hey. I got your message. Am I intruding? No. I like it out here. Its so quiet. Yeah. Yeah, it is. You know it was his manager that hired me? She loaned him six grand and she just wanted to get it back. Well, I found it. Oh yeah? Brendan bought two tickets to Greece, one for him and one for Elena. He really thought they had something. Yeah. I guess people fall in love with the wrong person all the time, dont they? Yes, they do. script: ?
