:24:00
so I wanted to make sure you'd be home
:24:02
and wait up for him, will you?
:24:05
'It's... Well, he's made a decision
about something.'

:24:08
It might not be exactly
what you figured it would be

:24:13
but, to my way of thinking,
it's a wise decision.

:24:17
So, after you've talked to him,
:24:21
call me back at the cabin, will you,
and let me know what he decided.

:24:26
- 'Bye-bye for now, darling.'
- (Phone clicks)

:24:32
- Gee, I'm terribly sorry about that.
- (Exasperated sigh)

:24:35
- Here, I've got something in my pocket.
- Yeah.

:24:38
- Well, anyway, that's it. He just hung up.
- Yeah, sure.

:24:42
You're as concerned about him
as I am, aren't you?

:24:45
- What?
- You seem so upset.

:24:48
I'm surprised because
you don't like him very much.

:24:51
Oh, well, er... Actually, I've been growing
much fonder of him lately.

:24:56
- Did you call him back?
- I tried the car phone.

:24:59
There was no answer.
:25:02
Lieutenant, if there's anything
you can do, do it.

:25:05
- Go out there and find him.
- I've started all the wheels rolling.

:25:09
We're doing everything we can.
:25:11
Now, this area, this Pinewild,
that's out of our bailiwick

:25:14
but we've got the sheriffs office
and the highway patrol on it.

:25:18
- I'll stay after them. Don't worry.
- Fine.

:25:23
- We're going to find him. Good night.
- Thank you. Good night.

:25:30
I hope you're right.
My uncle is a very important man.

:25:34
I'm aware of that, sir.
:25:36
What about your parents?
Are they both alive?

:25:39
They died when I was in college -
a freak explosion at the plant.

:25:43
Aunt Dori became my guardian,
and then she married David.

:25:46
- Were there any other children?
- No.

:25:49
- Aunt Dori is your father's sister?
- Yes.

:25:52
On your father's side,
were there other aunts and uncles?

:25:56
Tell me, Lieutenant, why are you
so fascinated with my family history?
