Det. Sammy Bryant:
You've been draggin' my ass all over the place for two days - what the hell is goin' on, Nate?

Det. Nate Moretta:
Mercedes isn't my sister... she's my daughter.

[Sammy looks at him in surprise]

Det. Nate Moretta:
Right after I enlisted, I found out my girlfriend was pregnant. We were all set to put the kid up for adoption, but my parents jumped in the middle of things. They refused to let their first grandchild be raised by a stranger.

Det. Sammy Bryant:
Does Mercedes know?

Det. Nate Moretta:
No... I don't know, maybe. Maybe that's why she's actin' out like this.
