[shows Prendergast and Torres her son's bedroom]
This is his room.
You're a very neat and tidy lady.
Oh, he cleans his own room.
No. If he wasn't at work, i'd be afraid to set foot in here.
What's he been doing lately?
Same as ever. He's building important things to protect us from the communists. He works at NoTec.
The defense plant? "D-FENS". [to Torres] Why don't you call NoTec and see if you can get them on the line? [Torres leaves the room to call NoTec] So, what's going on with your son?
What do you mean?
You know exactly what I mean?
[becomes frightened]
Sometimes he sits through an entire meal without saying a word. He just keeps shoveling food in his mouth like he's some kind of a machine, I get so nervous I can't swallow. I'll sit there with the same piece of food in my mouth. I just have to spit it out on the plate, and when I do, he looks at me like he would like to kill me. Don't tell him that I said that.
I promise, I won't.
I try not to be a burden. I'm not just talking financial.
Now, how could you be a burden to anyone? Now if William, or Bill--
He likes Bill. I call him Bill too.
If Bill said he was going home, could he have meant where his wife and daughter live?
Ex-wife. We shouldn't be in here. [they leave Foster's old bedroom and head downstairs]
Ex-wife, right? Elizabeth, what's her name again? Her maiden name?
Tavino. She was part Italian, you know it goes with them.
So where's Elizabeth now?
I wouldn't know.
You mean you don't know where your granddaughter lives?
He doesn't want me to know where she is. He blames me for what happened. [Torres comes in, having just talked to NoTec on the phone]
What's the word?
He was fired over a month ago.
What? Well, where has he been going every day? Where has he been eating his lunch?
