每一次都在酒吧裡有了自己的位置，可能是作為自己的品脫壺在吧檯後面，他講述了前一天晚上在酒吧裡的故事，在一個早上圍繞在奈莉的一個女朋友。

He's woken up by the police, and he's accused of kidnapping his estranged daughter, a daughter he hasn't seen for 10 years and since she was three years old and she's run away from home, telling her mom and stepfather that she's gone to see her dad on.

他被警察叫醒了，他被指控綁架了他疏遠的女兒，這個女兒他已經有10年沒見了，從她3歲開始，她就離家出走了，她告訴她的媽媽和繼父，她去看爸爸了。

What nearly finds out is that his child has been groomed and taken away.

差點發現的是，他的孩子已經被培養好了，被帶走了。
