This is Marcia Sindell,
calling from New York City.
:10:03
I'd like to speak to the Silver Creek
chief of police or sheriff.
:10:06
- Which one do you want?
- Whichever one's not busy.
:10:09
Well, I'm pretty sure they're both not
busy, Miz Sindell, since they're both me.
:10:13
I also happen to be president of
the Policeman's Benefit Association,...
:10:18
..chairman of the Patrolman's
Retirement Fund,...
:10:20
..and if you need a good fishing guide
you could do a lot worse.
:10:24
Call me Buster. Everybody does.
:10:26
What can I do for ya?
:10:28
I'm a literary agent and l...
I feel like a fool calling you,...
:10:32
..but I think one of my clients, Paul
Sheldon, may be in some kind of trouble.
:10:38
- You mean Paul Sheldon the writer?
- Uh-huh.
:10:41
- He's your client, huh?
- Yes, he is.
:10:43
Well, everybody sure likes
those Misery books.
:10:46
Yeah.
:10:47
Paul's been coming to the Silver Creek
Lodge for years to finish his books.
:10:52
I understand he's been up here
the last six weeks.
:10:55
Well, not quite. I just called there.
:10:58
They said he checked out last Tuesday.
Isn't that a little strange?
:11:03
I don't know. Does he usually phone you
before he checks out of a hotel?
:11:08
No. No, of course not. It's just
that his daughter hasn't heard from him...
:11:12
..and when he has a new book
coming out he usually keeps in touch.
:11:16
So when there wasn't
any word from him...
:11:19
You think he might be missing, huh?
:11:21
(sighs) I hate that I made this call.
Tell me I'm being silly.
:11:26
Oh, a little overprotective maybe, but...
Tell you what I'll do.
:11:31
Nothing's been reported out here,
but I'll put his name through our system.
:11:37
If anything turns up,
I'll call you right back.
:11:40
I appreciate that. Thanks a lot.
:11:42
Goodbye, Miz Sindell.
:11:46
We got a phone call? Busy morning.
:11:48
Yeah. Work, work, work.
:11:51
Virginia, when was that blizzard?
:11:54
Last Tuesday. Why?
:11:58
No reason.
