Private Eyes

- Nice place you got here. Chair empty? - Sure thing.

- What brings you in here, Shadow? - I'm just waiting for my partner.

I saw you were open, figured I'd get a little off the sides.

Yeah... Like when you were a sports commentator, that look?

Yeah.

Man, I must'a watched your "EpicFail" video a hundred times. Freaking hilarious.

Always nice to meet a fan.

Yo.

Is that you?!

I'll get that cut another time.

Ooh! I'd lock the shop for that.

- Sorry I'm late. - That's alright. What's with the getup?

- You go undercover without me? - Nope.

Hold up. Am I seeing Angie Everett on a walk of shame?

I prefer "stride of pride".

Hard to be proud when your shirt's on backwards.

Oh. Good one.

- So who's the lucky guy? - Dream on.

- Seriously, you're not gonna tell me? - We're here on business.

The client's waiting upstairs. You're welcome, by the way.

- For what? - Making you look good in there.

Please, you gotta help me find her.

Dex, when was the last time you talked to your sister?

Yesterday, after school.

I work nights at the Toronto General Hospital.

When I got home this morning, around 6:30, Drea wasn't here.

You and Drea live here alone?

Our dad died a year ago. I'm Drea's legal guardian.

I'm sorry.

Sometimes kids act out when they lose a parent. She's 16, right?

It sounds like fairly standard teenage stuff...

No way.

When I took the job at the hospital, me and Drea

made a promise that we'd eat breakfast together every morning.

She wouldn't miss it. Not without calling.

- Have you called the police? - If the police find out about this,

Children's Aid is gonna start asking questions and I just can't. Alright?

Look, I know y'all can't work for free, but how much time can a hundred bucks get me?

I just need some help finding her.

I got this from your dad.

I helped him out a few years back. He was cool. He said he owed me one.

OK. Show me Drea's room.

Anything missing?

Her backpack, some clothes.

And her bed's still made, so I know she didn't sleep here last night.

- That's her demo CD. She's a rapper. - Is this her cell phone number

on the back here?

I've been calling since I got home this morning. No answer.

Maybe she left it somewhere.

No way. Two things Drea can't live without: her music

- and her phone. - Well,

let's hope she's still got her music.

Hopefully Drea's phone can tell us something.

No idea if this is gonna work,

but at least it's instant rice.

You know. So it'll dry faster.

- Anything interesting? - Well, I have figured out

what Drea thinks is "hashtag lame"

and what gives her "hashtag feels."

This kid is seriously connected. Twitter, Facebook, Vine.

She posts every couple of hours. What's that?

You think I'm gonna quit? Don't you know I'm a wolf? Don't let my size fool you

I'll cut you all with a hook

- Sick. - Yeah.

"Keepin' it real at the OCC."

No, I know this. I know this. It's Ontario. No. It's...

- Oakmills Community Centre. - That's what I was gonna say.

You know this isn't a competition, right?

But I nailed it.

It's impossible to tell

how old kids are these days. Especially the girls.

- 16 is the new 21. - I don't know.

I've scouted kids of all ages, and I've got Jules.

- I can read the signs. - OK,

how old is she?

- About 14. - No way. 18 at least.

Maybe you should let me take the lead in there.

I'm pretty much the teenager-whisperer.

I can guarantee that Jules doesn't think that.

- Really. - You guys lost or somethin'?

Yeah, we're looking for Drea Grant. She around?

- Who's asking? - Drea's brother Dex hired us.

He's worried about her. She didn't come home last night.

That's not like Drea. She's a good girl.

- Any idea where she could be? - She hangs around here

most of the time, freestyling. D'you ask Kenny?

- Who's Kenny? - Her ex.

Thinks he's Macklemore, but he's really Mackle-less.

She dumped him about a month ago, and he keeps calling her.

Sounds like a romantic who can't let go.

Can't let go of her talent, more so. Drea's gonna make it,

and Kenny wants to be along for the ride.

Any idea where we can find him?

No idea, and no, thank you. Kenny's a hothead.

I keep telling Drea to just not take his calls,

but she's so soft, man.

She don't listen to me.

Thanks.

I've found Kenny's Twitter page.

It doesn't say much about him, but I can call Maz.

- Who's Maz? - Your brain,

it's like a colander. Everything just flows out.

- I gotta drop you off. I'm late. - We're on the clock!

Kid gave us a hundred bucks. We went into overtime like,

three hours ago. I've gotta go to Jules's school.

She's playing Helena in A Midsummer Night's Dream.

I told her I'd drop off the bench from the backyard.

Alright, I'll meet you back at the office when you're done.

I'm sure I'll have more information on Kenny by then.

What is it about girls and bad boys?

You tell me. Were you and your bad boy

feeling a little regret this morning?

Look, Dad, I have no proof,

but a sky-high leather skirt isn't appropriate work attire,

- right? - Depends on the job.

She doesn't just flash those kneecaps for everyone.

Trust me, I've been keeping track.

- Why do you care so much? - I'm a PI now, Dad.

I've got a stronger sense of curiosity.

Uh-huh. Bit of advice, son?

Mixing business and personal is never a good idea.

- What are you talking about? - The partnership you have

with Angie is still new. And I've seen you make this mistake before,

getting interested in women you work with.

I'm not interested! I'm just...

Curious, yeah, I know.

All I'm saying is,

keep your eye on the prize, not on her... kneecaps.

Good morrow to you, quaint wench!

Well, you just confirmed

- I got the acting gene from Mom. - You got her looks from her, too,

thankfully. Break a leg, honey. I'll see you at home.

I thought you were staying for rehearsal?

I gotta get back. Besides, why watch an exhibition game when you've got tickets

to the playoffs? Hey, honey,

this case I'm working on, it's about a missing kid. She posted ten times a day,

and then last night, she dropped her phone into a fish tank

and hasn't been online since. Any tips on finding a teenager who's gone off the grid?

Dad, phone or no phone, we're never off the grid.

Just because she hasn't posted online doesn't mean she hasn't been online.

Right. You're a genius, honey.

- Love you, baby. - See you later.

Of course. Maz must be Mazhari.

Maz.

Shade, perfect timing.

It's tough work trying to pull your weight.

Still nothing.

You're really counting on that being instant rice, aren't ya?

So, I pulled the case file on Drea's ex-boyfriend.

Looks like Kenny's got a bit of an anger management problem.

He's been busted six times for disorderlies.

There's a work address on here, we should go check it out.

OK. Thanks, Maz.

I'll grab my coat.

You guys have been friends for a long time,

- right? - Yeah, we go back.

Our dads were cops at the same time.

Right.

Were you guys like besties, or...?

More like Bonnie and Clyde. Yeah, we got into a lot of trouble.

- Whew. - You're still here?

Yeah, I guess I got caught in my memory palace

for a little while.

- Alright, see you guys. - Yeah, I'm sure we will.

What?

Thank you.

This is where Kenny works?

He's 16. Everybody works at a place like this.

If you want a burger, then look no further

We won't even chastise

If you wanna add fries And it won't break the bank if you wanna get a drank

Whoo! This is Kenny. Can I help you?

Uh, yeah, I'll have a Majesty Burger combo,

but instead of relish I'll take pickles, a sesame bun

instead of plain, hold the onions, add hot peppers,

and put the special sauce on the side. What do you want?

- I'll have a number one. - You'll have to wait extra

- for that special order. That a'ight? - Oh, no problem.

That order was more intricate than my divorce settlement.

Special orders

take longer to prepare,

so the employees ask you to pull over and someone brings it out.

You used to sling fast food.

No! Maybe. I was 16.

- Look, here he comes. - Sorry for the delay.

- Hope you have a nice day. - Hey, are you Kenny Rakowski?

- Who wants to know? - We're looking for Drea.

You seen her today?

- Not talking to you, homes. - We've seen your police record,

Kenny. You don't want to add obstruction to the list.

Hold up. You guys are cops?

Tell us if you've seen Drea, or we can all take a ride.

In a squad car that we will call.

I was with her last night.

She was trying to get her demo into The Six.

- The Six? - It's slang for Toronto.

It's also a hip-hop event downtown at a club.

Two days, the best emcees,

best DJs, and it's hosted by Apollo.

- Apollo is like the hottest thing... - I know who Apollo is!
