Charlie Cannon [To Larissa, applying makeup in bathroom mirror]
Babe, do I use my hands too much when I'm on TV?
Larissa Cannon
Um... isn't it one of your tics?
Charlie Cannon My tics?
Larissa Cannon
Like trademarks. Like, you know, good night and good luck, or this "is the way it is".
Charlie Cannon Those are catchphrases. [spins both hands] I mean, do I do too much of this shit with my hands? 'Cause that could potentially be very annoying to viewers.
Larissa Cannon
You know what is really annoying? That you are doing it in my peripheral vision, so stop it.
Charlie Cannon [playfully approaches]
Oh, yeah. It's annoying.
Larissa Cannon
Yeah.
Charlie Cannon In your peripheral vision?
Larissa Cannon
It's very annoying.
Charlie Cannon Yeah?
Larissa Cannon
Yeah.
Charlie Cannon What about this? Is this annoying? [playfully spins her around] Is this annoying? [she giggles]
Larissa Cannon
Stop it.
Charlie Cannon [referring to Larissa's pregnancy]
What about her? Is she gonna be annoying?
[on phone]
I appreciate your frustration but I cannot dispatch officers to arrest a monkey.
Caller
I'll just throw it down my well then!
No, I would not recommend you drown the monkey.
Caller
Fine, I'll just shoot it.
Detective Ismail
[hangs up Zaki's phone]
Officer Zaki, you speak good English, right? [Dalia nods]
...
Detective Ismail
[walking with Dalia]
Why do you want to join the missing persons department? Lose a cat when you were eight years old?
I'm allergic to cats.
Detective Ismail
You know, Officer Zaki, I've located one hundred and ninety-three people in twenty-seven years on this job. [opens door]
That's on average seven-point-one-four people you saved per year.
Detective Ismail
[turns to her]
One hundred and ninety of them were dead. If you want to be promoted in this department, you should consider if facing that many corpses is an equation you can stomach. [goes in interview room]

Larissa Cannon
[slides phone across table]
This is her. This is just from a week ago.
Detective Ismail
[to Dalia in Arabic]
Are they tourists?
Larissa Cannon
No, no. We live here. We've been living her for five months. He's a TV news correspondent.
Detective Ismail
[to Dalia in Arabic]
I don't know his face.
Larissa Cannon
11 am, um... then I went to work, and... [to Charlie] you were at home with the kids. And that's it.
Mr. Cannon.
Charlie Cannon About three pm.
Larissa Cannon
Wait, I have these. Somebody, whoever took her, was giving these to her. [presents candy wrappers]
[in Arabic to Ismail, examining candy wrappers]
She says the girl was getting these as gifts. Sounds like she was being groomed.
Detective Ismail
[to Dalia in Arabic]
Or they could be lying.
Larissa Cannon
What is he saying? What is he saying?
Detective Ismail
[to Dalia in Arabic]
Always start by looking in the family. They might have accidentally killed her and are trying to cover it up
Charlie Cannon Hey. You think I don't know what you're talking about? [gestures to Larissa and himself] You think we did this?! You think we did something to our own daughter?! What the **** is your problem?! [bangs table up and down] Are you going to **** help us?! Send someone out there to find her! Somebody took our child!
Charlie Cannon [Officer Zaki shows photo on table]
What is this?
[Refers to photo]
It's a basalt sarcophagus. Between two and three thousand years old. Katie was being transported inside it when the plane crashed.
Charlie Cannon What the **** was our daughter doing in a three-thousand-year old sarcophagus?
If you want to smuggle someone or even something in this country and avoid detection, the best place is our history. Blind eyes are turned to the illegal trade of artifacts. It's the perfect human trafficking cover.
Larissa Cannon
I think we should get back upstairs to her.
Charlie Cannon I remember you. You were there the day she got kidnapped. You had a working theory then too, didn't you? You thought I did something to her.
That was my senior officer's opinion.
Larissa Cannon
Charlie, let's get back upstairs.
Charlie Cannon And where's his expert opinion tonight?
Buried in Bab-al-Wazir Cemetery.
Charlie Cannon Are you gonna do a better job of finding our daughter than he did?
Yes.
