Short filmTranscript
00:01I was gone before, I left her hand
00:04And Lola literally said invisibility
00:08It's obviously invisibility
00:10What's wrong with invisibility, Kayla?
00:12Teleportation is way more useful
00:13You have to leave me
00:14I nearly won that debate
00:16And that's what's wrong with me
00:17I'm not going to go
00:18Okay, train of leaving people
00:20I'd like to get home too, you know?
00:26All set?
00:38All set?
00:41All set?
00:43All set?
00:45All set?
00:58Awesome
01:03License and registration?
01:05I wasn't going that fast.
01:12You know, speed limit's there to keep people safe,
01:14and you, sir, were going six miles an hour
01:16over the speed limit.
01:18We both know this is not about six miles an hour, Boone.
01:22It's about six runs.
01:24I'm not sure what you're referring to, sir.
01:27Hmm.
01:28Well, that's your softball game.
01:29Well, Ravis versus the finest.
01:33Station 42 destroyed the sheriff's office by six runs.
01:36But this year's game will be a different story.
01:39I guess we'll see in a few hours.
01:41I guess we'll see.
01:51Look on the bright side.
01:52You should be able to run those bases a little faster
01:54now that your wallet's $150 later.
01:58You drive safe now.
02:09Miggy, come on.
02:10You can be slow once you get on the field.
02:12I read somewhere that smack talk is a sign of insecurity.
02:16You worried you're going to lose?
02:17Yeah, since 42's coming for a three-peat.
02:20Not so much.
02:23Forgot my glove.
02:24Hold on.
02:24You might need that.
02:26I guess I'm going to get that.
02:30Mom, what are you doing here?
02:33Hi, sweetheart.
02:33How are you?
02:34Are you going to the game with Mickey?
02:36It's such a fun tradition.
02:37I know the boys and girls clubs really appreciate it.
02:40Where's the chair?
02:41Oh, will you look at that.
02:43I just love seeing my two girls together.
02:46The two of you not talking all those years, that really hurt.
02:49I wish you had texted me first, Ruby.
02:51I know.
02:51I'm sorry.
02:52I left my phone in my purse.
02:53Have you seen it?
02:54And what is her purse doing at Mickey's house?
02:57She invited me for a coffee.
02:58Wait, I'm sorry.
02:59A cortada?
03:00It's a cortado.
03:01Cortado.
03:02Yeah.
03:02That's what I meant.
03:03It wasn't a big deal.
03:04It was just catching up.
03:05Yeah, that you decided not to tell me about, which pretty much defines it being a big deal.
03:09Give her a break, Sharon.
03:10At least one of my daughters still wants me in her life.
03:15Look, she just wanted to tell me her side.
03:18Every chance I've given her to have a relationship with me, she hurts me.
03:21I mean, come on.
03:22I give, she takes.
03:23Okay, Sharon.
03:24What are you going to do?
03:25Not talk to your mom your whole life?
03:26When I wasn't talking to my dad, you're the one who encouraged me to...
03:29No, it's not the same thing.
03:30I think Wes is there for you when you need him.
03:32For the last six months, maybe.
03:3420 years before that?
03:36Not so much.
03:36So now it's going to be a competition of who has the worst parents?
03:39Ah, here's my bag.
03:41I will see you at the game.
03:42Oh, Sharon, come on.
03:43Don't be like that.
03:43Hey, Sharon, what...
03:46The first two years of her life, she wouldn't sleep unless I held her.
03:50Now she can't spend five minutes in the same room with me.
03:53You lived with us when you were a teenager.
03:55Was I such a horrible mom?
03:57Ruby, I know you want to have a relationship with her,
03:59but you have to understand it's going to take some time.
04:01And patience.
04:02And fewer accidental run-ins.
04:05What do you mean?
04:05I really did forget my purse.
04:08What?
04:08I really did?
04:09I forgot my purse.
04:12Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls,
04:14to the annual Guns and Poses charity softball game.
04:18It's a good day for a game.
04:19It's a good day for a game.
04:21It's a good day for a game.
04:21Oh, see, I like that.
04:22Mm-hmm.
04:22As a matter of fact, I brought this under.
04:25That's one homer.
04:27Three RBIs last year.
04:29You're so good to me.
04:32I thought you were riding in with Mickey.
04:37I'll see you on the field in five.
04:40Hey, I didn't think you were coming.
04:42This is Eve Edwards, Station 42's team captain.
04:46This is Deputy Hank Iglesias.
04:48Cassidy's on death duty, so he's filling in.
04:51You brought a ringer.
04:54Yeah, it's not going to do you no good.
04:56Oh.
04:57Tickets are on sale now.
04:58Hank.
04:59Sheriff.
05:02Let's smack these guys.
05:04Copy that.
05:05Hey, when you want to go, I'm your winner.
05:07He's up.
05:12Now in bed, Cal Fire's Bodie Leone.
05:16And with two outs at the bottom of the ninth,
05:19will Sheriff Fox strike out the side of the Cal Fire packing?
05:22Or will Leone's bat extend in it?
05:25Four to three.
05:27It's not your day, buddy.
05:28Don't think those raindrops are high in your teardrops.
05:30I'm sure to let my bat do the talking.
05:32Oh, yeah, your bat seems pretty shy today.
05:34Hey, how'd you like to place a wager on the game?
05:36Maybe try and win your 150 bucks back?
05:37For a good cause.
05:39Making you look like a jackass?
05:41I couldn't agree more.
05:43You suck.
05:50That's a hit to left center.
05:52Leone may be able to stretch this and check it.
05:56In its second is Leone.
05:58His bat came alive just in time to bring Cal Fire's Steve Edwards to the plate.
06:04Now in bed, Cal Fire's Steve Edwards.
06:07We have three measures.
06:09Steve, Steve, Steve.
06:10This is the moment.
06:11The game hangs in the balance.
06:13Two outs.
06:14Tying run in second.
06:15Will Cal Fire three feet?
06:16Or will the Sheriff's Department be crowned your new Guns N' Hoses champion?
06:21Come on, Mickey.
06:22Let's go.
06:23And my ride will drop for a single.
06:27Leone is being waved home.
06:29He's been placing his hands in arms.
06:30There shouldn't be a play at the plate.
06:35What the hell, Leone?
06:36What was that, dude?
06:38Hey, hey, hey, hey!
06:39What was that?
06:41What was that?
06:41What was that?
06:42What was that?
06:43What was that?
06:44Come on, come on, come on.
06:44Back it up, back it up.
06:49Hey!
06:49He thought it was a clean play!
06:50Clean!
06:51He all took out his leg!
06:52Yeah, well, maybe if he wasn't blocking the plate.
06:54You know what you're trying to sound like?
06:56Hey, guys, guys, guys, guys!
06:56I'll tell you right now!
06:58Hey, hey, hey, hey!
06:59Hey, hey!
07:00Hey, hey, hey!
07:01It's OK, it's OK.
07:02Guys, it's OK.
07:04It's all right.
07:06No.
07:07Boss!
07:12Let's go!
07:13Come on!
07:34Go around the back.
07:40It's four o'clock.
07:42That bus just taking kids home.
07:52I'll start calling the parents.
07:54Yeah, you should, but it's not the call you think it is.
07:56The bus is empty.
07:59What do you mean empty? Empty how?
08:01Kids went on there. No one was.
08:03They're just gone.
08:07Where the hell are they?
08:22The bus went into these woods.
08:24I think we need to start a grid search.
08:25There's a storm coming in, so the sooner the better.
08:28All right, make sure nobody disturbs the area.
08:30Copy that.
08:31Green Crest, let's go ahead and get Three Rock ready.
08:34Search and rescue.
08:34I'm going to need some support out here.
08:36Copy that.
08:40What you got?
08:42Tire tracks.
08:44There was another vehicle here.
08:45Big truck, maybe another bus.
08:48All right, we got nine backpacks, so nine students, plus the bus driver.
08:54Let's get in touch with the school to get a list of names.
08:58Done.
09:02How many we got?
09:05Ten phones.
09:06That's one for each passenger, counting the driver.
09:09It's like these were collected.
09:10Someone wanted those to burn.
09:11And they would have, had we not been so close by.
09:13All right, it was an explosion, for sure.
09:15Normally, we would check the gas tank, right, for a faulty fuel line or something.
09:19But on this bus, the tank is in the back.
09:21And the explosion's in the dead center of the roof.
09:24So if the fuel tank didn't cause the explosion, what did?
09:27An accelerant, either an incendiary device or...
09:30A bomb.
09:37All right, so they boarded the bus, at least two of them, I'm guessing.
09:41They made the driver come to this spot.
09:43They collected all the phones so nobody could call for help.
09:45And then they walked the kids either into the woods or into another vehicle.
09:49Either way, these kids were kidnapped.
09:54All right, here's what we're going to do.
09:57Sharon, this is a crime scene.
09:59The sheriff's office should run point.
10:01There are nine missing kids that could be lost in those woods,
10:03and no one does search and rescue like Cal Fire.
10:06And then you run into the kidnappers.
10:07What then?
10:07Oh, come on.
10:08Sharon, whoever kidnapped these kids, they could have just abandoned the bus.
10:11They didn't.
10:11They're sending a message.
10:12These guys are serious.
10:14The XO should take the lead.
10:15All right, fine.
10:16But I'm going to leave you, team, because it's going to make the search go faster.
10:19Eve, you're going to quarterback this.
10:20Cover that.
10:21She's the best search and rescue person I have.
10:24You have explosive ordinance training, right?
10:27When I was in Oakland.
10:28You stay on the scene, try to figure out what explosives they used.
10:34Parents are starting to wonder where their kids are.
10:46Hello.
10:47Hi.
10:48Oh, Debra.
10:49Hi.
10:50Debra's my neighbor.
10:51This guy used to babysit her daughter, Lola.
10:54I can't.
10:54I'm so worried.
10:55What happened?
10:55Where's Lola?
10:56Where are all our kids?
10:57What happened?
10:58Tell us.
10:58What's going on?
10:59Look, I know you must all be very concerned.
11:01Please have a seat.
11:02This is a very fluid situation.
11:03Here's what we know so far.
11:05Your kids boarded the bus at Edgewater High at 3 p.m.
11:08And then the bus was found an hour later, abandoned outside of town.
11:11We are investigating all leads and actively searching the woods where the bus was found.
11:16This is my sister, Sharon Leone.
11:18As most of you know, she's a Cal Fire Division Chief.
11:21They're helping us in our search.
11:22We're going to move heaven and earth to find all your kids.
11:26So, was this a kidnapping?
11:28Right now, we're not ruling anything in or out.
11:30Have you received any sort of ransom demand?
11:32No.
11:32But if you receive any unusual calls or texts, please let us know.
11:35So then they were kidnapped?
11:37Again, it's an ongoing investigation.
11:38And right now...
11:39You're not telling us a damn thing.
11:40Pete's right.
11:41Mickey, what can we do?
11:44Stay vigilant.
11:45Oh, come on.
11:46Trust us to do our jobs.
11:47Let your community have your back.
11:49Know that we are doing everything we can to bring your kids home.
11:52We heard the bus caught fire.
11:54What about that?
11:56An explosive device may have been used, but it's really early in our process.
11:59An explosive device may have been used on the bus.
12:01There's a bomb on the bus.
12:05Sharon.
12:06What?
12:06I think they deserve not to be lied to, okay?
12:09I am the Cal Fire Division Chief.
12:11The question is about fire.
12:12I have to share information with people to keep them safe, even when it's really bad.
12:16And I'm trying to run an investigation.
12:18Any lead, any scrap of information is on a need-to-know basis.
12:23Oh, and who gets to decide that?
12:24I do.
12:24It's kind of my job.
12:26Okay.
12:26Well, I guess I'm just not as good at keeping secrets as you are.
12:33Sharon, I am so grateful for your help.
12:35But if you don't mind, I have to issue a press release called the FBI and start processing leads.
12:46This is taking, this is taking way too long.
12:48We need to identify every piece of debris that might have been part of the bomb, and then we can
12:51test for DNA and fingerprints.
12:53Great.
12:54I'm sure a bunch of kids that have kids aren't going to mind waiting around two weeks to get test
12:57results.
12:59There's a storm coming in.
13:01We're probably going to get some snow up here.
13:03You might want to pick up the pace.
13:14That's part of the evidence field.
13:16Leonie!
13:16What are you doing?
13:17Following my nose.
13:19A lot of incendiary devices use chemicals, right?
13:22Do you smell what I smell?
13:23Kerosene.
13:23I smell it as soon as you got here.
13:25Right.
13:25Well, kerosene can be combined with various kinds of chemicals to make a bomb.
13:31I bet you that's ammonium nitrate.
13:32We used it in demolition when I was working construction.
13:35We'd always wait to combine the nitrate with the fuel oil until we were ready to detonate.
13:42Not bad.
13:45All the time we spent on the back of police cars, something must have rubbed off.
13:47Yeah, dude.
13:48Yeah.
13:49You're hilarious.
13:51What is that?
13:52It's a piece of a cell phone, but you see this hinge?
13:55It's a flip phone, which no teenager would ever get caught with.
13:58Not to mention, I found it in the evidence field and not in the backpack with the other phones.
14:02So I'm thinking, the kidnappers called this phone, and that's what set off the explosion.
14:07Remote detonator.
14:12Hey.
14:13Moon, listen, man.
14:14There's this guy that I knew when I was in prison.
14:16Wish time?
14:18That's cute.
14:19He was in for making pipe bombs, and he knew how to rig detonators, right?
14:23All that kind of stuff.
14:24Well, I helped him out of some tough spots, and he's out now.
14:27He might be able to tell us something.
14:28What's his name?
14:29I'm going to talk to him.
14:29No, that's no good.
14:30If there's one thing this guy hates, it's cops.
14:32I'm not going to be in uniform.
14:33You won't even know I'm a cop.
14:34Tell that to your haircut.
14:37Hey, this guy trusts me.
14:38I know that I can get him to sit down with us and tell us what he knows, but I've
14:42got to come with you.
14:44All right.
14:46Hop in.
14:48Hey, you've got to sit up front for once.
14:59So I was thinking we were going to get a team that goes a little bit down this way.
15:02I have about 14 people here.
15:04About 10 of them are volunteers, and I think we might have some luck over here.
15:08Hey, gentlemen.
15:09Sorry, this is blocked off for a search.
15:11Look, two of the missing kids, they're from Deadwater, so we want to help.
15:15Gotcha.
15:15So I have some deputies over here you can check in with, and we can add you guys to the
15:18grid.
15:23You Elroy Edwards' kid?
15:24You know my dad?
15:26I know of him.
15:28My friend Bill was a rancher.
15:30He and Elroy were tight.
15:32I'm West Fox.
15:33I thought I recognized you.
15:34You're Mickey's dad, right?
15:36Yeah.
15:36It was a pleasure.
15:38You run the Three Rock Convict Camp, they call it.
15:41Well, that's not what we call it.
15:43You know what I call it?
15:44I call it state-sanctioned servitude.
15:46Excuse me?
15:47You heard me.
15:48I don't think you understand what Three Rock is all about.
15:51I understand when this snow melts, so does our trail.
15:53I also understand your damn camp.
15:55Okay.
15:56Glad you understand.
15:57I have a search happening back here, though.
15:59Not on your chain gang, so you don't get to boss me around.
16:01My men at Three Rock are not in chains.
16:03Three Rock, we work as a team, and we pull in the same direction, kind of like this search team.
16:07So if you want to go ahead and freestyle, you might miss something important.
16:10You like the blood on those leaves right over there?
16:19Damn.
16:20We urge all Edgewater residents to see if you don't heard anything unusual.
16:24Please call.
16:25Okay.
16:26Thank you for the call.
16:34So far, I've got sightings placing these kids in town, at the meetup, and, oh, yeah,
16:38Woodbridge Mall.
16:39That place has been closed for years.
16:40They were getting high in the parking lot.
16:42Mark it down.
16:43You never know what tips can pay off.
16:45So for now, we're on our own.
16:47The FBI has a rapid deployment team for child abductions, but they're working a case in San Diego.
16:51So right now, what are all these kids of God?
16:55Mickey, line three, another kidnapper wants to talk to the sheriff.
17:00Hello, this is Sheriff Mickey Fox.
17:02Who am I speaking with?
17:04You can call me Donald, like the duck.
17:07Because I'm Mickey, like the mouse.
17:11All right, Donald, before we speak any further, I'm going to need to know the kids are safe.
17:14They're alive, and if you want them to stay that way, you'll pay us $2.6 million.
17:23They're not from around here, are you, Donald?
17:25Don't do that, Sheriff.
17:26Edgewater's not a wealthy town.
17:27These parents don't have that kind of money.
17:29The county does.
17:30These are Edgewater's children, and if Edgewater wants to see them alive, the county will pay.
17:34Start putting the cash together, I'll come back with instructions.
17:37I don't think you understand.
17:38I don't think you understand!
17:39I will blow these kids into a million pieces!
17:42Do you hear me, Sheriff?
17:46I'm going to need proof, Donald.
17:50If you have the kids like you say you do, I'm going to need proof that they're alive.
17:54You already have it.
18:04Oh, my God.
18:05Is that the kids?
18:06Put it on the big screen.
18:15Sheriff, check the timestamp.
18:23They're live-streaming this.
18:34Any luck tracing the live stream?
18:36Not yet.
18:36The kidnappers are using a decoy server.
18:38They've got our techs chasing their own tail.
18:40I just got off the phone with the comptroller.
18:41The short answer is yes.
18:43The county has enough money in the emergency reserve fund to pay the ransom, but she doesn't
18:47have the authority to turn it over.
18:49The board of supervisors is convening now.
18:51Paying the ransom is not my first choice, but we should get the money ready just in case.
18:54The media is reaching out.
18:55Do you want to make a comment?
18:56No.
18:57We're the only ones who know about this live stream.
18:58Let's keep it that way.
18:59What about the parents?
19:14No.
19:15I'll check in on them, but let's just keep this between us.
19:23What is that?
19:24That's shaking.
19:27Look.
19:28It happens every so often.
19:30Hank, I want you to make a list of all construction sites, railroad crossings, and logging camps.
19:36Anything with heavy machinery.
19:37And then I want deputies hitting those places.
19:39Yes, boss.
19:45Over here.
19:48Bent branch.
19:50Hilderoy teach you to track.
19:51Well, sometimes the calves would get out with a barbed wire fence and he would send me to find it.
19:56And then he decided to not talk to me for ten years.
19:59I know how that is.
20:00Your old man cut you up?
20:01Ah, my daughter.
20:03You go to prison a couple of times, suddenly your kid don't want to speak to you anymore.
20:06Back in the 90s when the feds did those raids on those grows.
20:1090s?
20:10Hell, you still go to prison for growing weed.
20:13Convicts still get used and abused, as you know.
20:15Okay, you have no idea what you're talking about.
20:17All right, look.
20:18Three Rock is not perfect.
20:20I know it's not.
20:21But, you know, my guys, they learn some skills.
20:24They get to reduce their sentences.
20:25And we work together for Edgewater.
20:28We.
20:29We.
20:29Correct me if I'm wrong.
20:31But you get paid and they don't, so.
20:37Cal Fire, who's there?
20:39Oh, thank God.
20:40Please, help me.
20:42Help me, please.
20:44You have to help me.
20:46No, it's okay.
20:46Go ahead.
20:46Take a seat.
20:47Take a seat.
20:48There you go.
20:48You're going to be just fine.
20:49So tell me your name and what happened here on them.
20:51Candace, I'm the bus driver.
20:53Oh, my God, the kids.
20:54Are they okay?
20:55I heard an explosion.
20:56No, it's going to be fine.
20:56The sheriff's looking for them.
20:58And that's a bullet.
20:59There were two of them.
21:00They had guns and masks, and they hijacked the bus, and they made me drive out here,
21:05and then they loaded all the kids into a truck, and I knew I had to go get help, so
21:09I ran,
21:09and then I heard a crack, and I realized that they shot me, and I wasn't sure if it was
21:14safe,
21:14so I was just hiding.
21:15That's how I came.
21:16I need to let Mickey know.
21:17Okay, Candace, you were very lucky because this is a flesh wound.
21:20It did not hit the bone.
21:21Are you okay to walk?
21:22Okay.
21:23Let's get up.
21:24Take your time.
21:25Okay.
21:25Okay.
21:26Okay.
21:34That's my guy in here.
21:37Just hang here, all right?
21:38You're going to talk to him.
21:39Whoa, whoa, whoa.
21:39You can forget that, man.
21:41Boom.
21:42No.
21:43Not happening, Leonie.
21:44You say this guy knows how to build a remote detonated bomb?
21:46For all we know, he built this one.
21:49Listen, this guy, he trusts me.
21:51I can get him to come to the XO and talk with you and Mickey, but you've got to let
21:54me work
21:54here.
21:56Boom.
21:56For real, man.
21:59Two minutes, and then I'm coming over.
22:06Nope.
22:08It's cold.
22:13Soda.
22:14Be good.
22:19Thanks.
22:36Don't move.
22:44I can tell he really trusts you.
22:46I knew it.
22:47I knew you were a cop the moment I saw that haircut.
22:51I think I'm starting to feel better.
22:54I'm starting to feel better.
23:00I'm telling you I had nothing to do with that kidnapping.
23:02Then why'd you punch Bodie?
23:04Tempting as that may be.
23:06I did five years for making illegal explosives.
23:09Now the cops want to talk to me on the same day that a school bus blows up.
23:12I don't think that's going to go my way.
23:14Ammonium nitrate.
23:15Cell phone detonator.
23:16It's your signature style.
23:17Sometimes people reach out, want to know how to protect their grows, make an insurance
23:21claim when their business accidentally burns down.
23:23You teach them how to make bombs.
23:24You said that, not me.
23:26Why don't you give us some names?
23:27I'm going to call your parole officer and let them know you're not going to make a check-in
23:30because you'll be in jail for assault and all.
23:33Look, I don't know their names because I didn't ask.
23:37But a few weeks ago, a couple of guys did come see me.
23:41A long-haired dude and another guy in a wheelchair.
23:44He wanted to know how to make a bomb?
23:45Actually, they already knew.
23:47The only guy in the wheelchair was all over it.
23:50Smart.
23:52No.
23:52He just wanted to know where to get the materials, the ammonium nitrate and the other stuff without
23:56being traced.
24:00My dad and Eve found the bus driver.
24:03She mentioned two guys getting in the bus.
24:04Nothing about a wheelchair.
24:05So maybe the guys who approach Falstow aren't our guys.
24:08Or maybe there's more than two of them.
24:10Yeah.
24:11Ammonium nitrate is found in fertilizer.
24:13It's regulated.
24:13If you want to buy it, you have to go through this whole process.
24:16I'll start checking with agricultural suppliers.
24:17Not the big retailers because they tend to follow the rules, but solo guys.
24:21Maybe I'll get a name.
24:22Yeah.
24:27Do I really have a cop here, could I?
24:29Goodbye, Boone.
24:34I know.
24:35You want me to check in on the parents?
24:37They're just up the road.
24:38The whole town turned out to support.
24:40I have nothing to show them.
24:41Mickey, you are doing the best you can.
24:43You just being there will mean a lot.
25:06I don't have anything to share just yet, but know that the case is moving forward, and I will have
25:11some news for you very soon.
25:12I'm sick of this.
25:13If you know something, you should tell us.
25:16Sheriff, my name's Brad Elkins.
25:19I work for the county.
25:19Could I have a word?
25:20Yes.
25:21Excuse me.
25:24I mean, I just didn't want to say anything in front of the other parents.
25:28I work at the comptroller's office.
25:30I just wanted to let you know the county has approved the release of the ransom money if and when
25:33you need it.
25:34That's very helpful.
25:35Where are the funds now?
25:37Edgewater State Bank.
25:38I'll arrange to have my deputies transfer it to my office.
25:41Yeah.
25:43How are you holding up?
25:50Hey, Wes.
25:51Hey.
25:53I'm glad you can make it.
25:54Yeah.
25:55I heard people were gathering, so it seemed like the right thing to do.
25:59Hey, Eve.
26:01Uh, Minister Bates was looking for you.
26:04Yeah.
26:04He, um, called and asked me to sing.
26:14What's going on with you and Eve?
26:16Nothing.
26:22I pointed out that Three Rock puts prisoners in harm's way for peanuts.
26:28She didn't like it, so.
26:30Three Rock's a great program, Wes.
26:32For the government, not for inmates.
26:33Three Rock gave me Bodie back.
26:35Come on, Sharon.
26:36Bodie's stridened out because of you and Vince.
26:39You know I love you, Wes Fox, but you are dead wrong on this.
26:44Bodie could not forgive himself for what he did.
26:46And then he got into Three Rock, and he worked really hard, and he served his community.
26:51Then he found a lifeline of Manny and all the others, and he could forgive himself.
26:56That's how my baby came home.
26:59Three Rock.
27:10Hey.
27:12Hey.
27:14I used to do every time that Vince's guitar came out, so did mine.
27:20You know you're not going to get paid for this, right?
27:23I'm sure I'll find something of value.
27:26Yeah.
27:39If I needed you, would you come to me?
27:45Would you come to me and ease my pain?
27:51If you needed me, I would come to you.
27:59I'd swim the seas for to ease your pain.
28:05Well, in the night forlorn, all the morning's born.
28:13And the morning shines with the light of love.
28:20And you will miss sunrise if you close your eyes.
28:26And that would break my heart.
28:31It's a vigil for missing kids.
28:34If I needed you.
28:36Just don't take the bait, Cher.
28:38Leave it.
28:46If you needed me.
28:51I know what it's like to be bereft of your children.
28:54When I lost my granddaughter Riley something and we just fell apart.
29:00You need to leave.
29:01I'm sorry.
29:02I don't need to do anything.
29:04This is my community, too, you know.
29:05At least it used to be.
29:06You guys don't do this here.
29:08You have no idea what they're going through.
29:10Right, but you do.
29:11I forgot you hold the corner on suffering.
29:13Okay.
29:14Oh, come on.
29:14Take a breath.
29:18Those parents, they are hurting.
29:20And she wants us in here.
29:22And then she makes it all about herself.
29:26It's cruel.
29:27Maybe she came here to support them.
29:29Maybe she doesn't have an agenda.
29:31Wake up, Mickey.
29:33Of course she has an agenda.
29:34And part of her agenda is using you to get to me.
29:37I do not get what you see in her.
29:39She was there for me, okay?
29:40When she married my dad, I hadn't had a mom in years.
29:43Not since my mom died.
29:45I really needed that.
29:46She's using you, and you can't even see it.
29:49Okay.
29:49I'm an adult.
29:51I get to decide who I want to have a relationship with.
29:55Yep.
29:56And so do I.
29:58What is that supposed to mean?
30:01It's amazing having you in my life.
30:03I knew I wanted this.
30:04I think before even you knew you wanted this,
30:07to have a sister again.
30:08But if you can honor my wishes on this, I...
30:11Cher.
30:15You lay...
30:20Fox.
30:21Do you have my money?
30:23Donald.
30:25The ransom has been approved.
30:26We're just putting it together.
30:28The ransom's been approved?
30:30You're stonewalling, Sheriff.
30:33I need a guarantee.
30:34How do I know once I give you the ransom
30:36that you're going to release the kids?
30:37Wow.
30:38You have really misjudged who's in charge here.
30:41Maybe this will clear things up for you.
30:42Donald, wait.
30:49The sheriff is lying to you.
30:52The sheriff is lying to you.
30:54She's keeping things from you about your kids.
30:57Here's the truth.
30:58Your children have our left to live.
31:01The county has the money to pay our ransom.
31:03And the sheriff knows.
31:05If your kids die, their blood will be on her hands.
31:14You need to pay them the money, keep this.
31:16You knew they were alive this whole time.
31:20How could you?
31:27The sheriff is lying to you.
31:29She's keeping things from you about your kids.
31:32Here's the truth.
31:33Your children have our left to live.
31:36The county has the money to pay our ransom.
31:38Made a judgment call.
31:39I told them their kids were alive.
31:41I could have given them that.
31:43Not without tipping our hand.
31:44And you only would have freaked people out.
31:46The sheriff is lying to you.
31:47It was a tough call.
31:48You made it.
31:49You stuck by it.
31:50And that's why you're here.
31:51The truth.
31:52Your children have the money.
31:52Special delivery?
31:552.6 million dollars.
31:57That does not leave our sights until Donald calls with instructions.
32:00The law will be on her hands.
32:03The sheriff is lying to you.
32:05She's keeping things from you about your kids.
32:08Here's the truth.
32:09Can we try that son of a bitch off?
32:10Our left to live.
32:12The video gave us a clue.
32:13Maybe the audio can too.
32:14Let's listen for any telltale signs.
32:15Machinery, heavy equipment.
32:17The county has the money to pay our ransom.
32:19And the sheriff knows it.
32:21If your kids die, their blood will be on her hands.
32:26Sounds clean.
32:27Yeah.
32:27I don't hear anything.
32:28I do.
32:29He said the county has the money.
32:30Like he knows they have the money.
32:32That's also what he said on the call to me.
32:34Gina.
32:37When you spoke to the comptroller earlier, did she tell you how much was in the emergency reserve fund?
32:42No.
32:42The number for this year's budget hasn't been released yet.
32:44Get her on the phone.
32:56Wes.
32:57Open the damn door.
32:59I need to talk to you about something.
33:01Please, Wes.
33:05I don't have any money.
33:07You mean it's not buried underground?
33:11This is my Ricky Lee Jones album.
33:13I've been looking for it for ages.
33:15Hal, I've got half of these in mind.
33:17You know you always had a broad definition of yours.
33:22You remember when you were mine?
33:28Come on, come on, come on.
33:30For old time's sake.
33:31Old time's sake?
33:32Like when you dumped me when I was sent back to prison?
33:34Please.
33:35You cut bait on me long before that.
33:38I knew six months into our marriage I'd never be able to compete with her.
33:41Mickey's mom?
33:42I never had a chance.
33:44Poor woman's been dead for over 30 years and I bet you're still in love with her.
33:48You keep her name out of your mouth.
33:50There we have, there we have, there we have, there we have, there we have.
33:51What do you want?
33:52It's simple.
33:53I want to know.
33:56I want to know how the hell you're standing here.
33:58A strong survival instinct.
34:01That was a little luck.
34:02We still have something in common.
34:04No, I mean here.
34:04Under Mickey's roof.
34:06How did you patch things up with her?
34:08I need to do the same with Sharon.
34:10And don't give me some BS about going legit.
34:13I had beers with Mama Jo last night and she says you and some growers are making more than you
34:19ever did.
34:19And Uncle Sam is getting none of it.
34:23I wonder what Mickey would make of that.
34:25Hmm.
34:27You can see yourself out.
34:29Okay, fine.
34:30I want my daughter back, Wes.
34:34I want to feel part of a family, that's all.
34:40Please tell me, how did you make things right with Mickey?
34:46You have to let her come to you.
34:48Mickey came to me and needed a favor.
34:50She wanted to help this guy.
34:52So I did.
34:53Takes patience.
34:55Not exactly my strong suit.
34:56Well, not mine either.
34:58I know.
35:04Maybe, uh, maybe this will help.
35:07Help find a little patience.
35:12Nah, you keep it.
35:15Just think of me every time you listen to it.
35:18I already do.
35:23The authenticity of the lives in there has been confirmed.
35:27And it looks like the nine...
35:28Brad.
35:31Lieutenant Boone, thanks for coming in.
35:32Always happy to help the sheriff.
35:33...by the Hedgewater County Sheriff's Office.
35:36But granted parents are pumped out of the law.
35:38Is this about the ransom funds?
35:40She's right here.
35:46Hi, Brad.
35:47Have a seat.
35:50Oh.
35:51Please.
35:54Okay.
36:02We got the ransom money together.
36:03Thank you for helping us with that.
36:04Yeah, yeah, of course.
36:06It was lucky, huh?
36:08Uh, I'm sorry?
36:09The kidnappers asking for $2.6 million
36:12and that being the exact amount
36:14the county has in the emergency reserve fund.
36:17It's almost like the kidnappers knew how much was in there
36:20before the budget has even been released for the year.
36:23Out of curiosity,
36:24how many people have access to those numbers?
36:27Uh, officially the county auditor,
36:30a few of us in the comptroller's office.
36:32Unofficially, support staff, assistants,
36:34could be quite a few people actually.
36:35And how many of them have recently filed for bankruptcy?
36:40Besides you, I mean.
36:41Having financial problems is not a crime.
36:44No, but kidnapping is.
36:46How's Danny feeling?
36:47That's your son, right?
36:49The principal let us know that he was out sick.
36:52He takes the bus usually?
36:53I'd say he picked a pretty good day to miss.
37:02Is there anything you want to tell us, Brad?
37:05And before you say I want a lawyer,
37:06just remember nobody's died yet.
37:08There's a chance you might make parole someday.
37:13Where are those kids, Brad?
37:19I don't know.
37:20It wasn't supposed to happen this way, I swear.
37:22They were only supposed to hold the kids for a few hours.
37:24But these crazy bastards have gone rogue.
37:26I can't even get them on the phone.
37:27And by these crazy bastards,
37:28you mean the men that you hired.
37:30How'd you meet them?
37:32Over discord.
37:32I want names.
37:38There were two of them.
37:39The one in the wheelchair never said his name.
37:41The other one was Holt.
37:42Lawrence Holt.
37:45Move, move, move!
37:47Move right.
37:51Brother's clear.
37:53Living room clear!
37:56Bedroom clear!
37:57Bedroom clear!
37:58Room clear!
37:59Utility room clear!
38:03The live stream!
38:07The search history's been erased.
38:10We got phones and ammonium nitrate!
38:13Sheriff, you should see this.
38:16Amorata Quarry.
38:18Holt works security there.
38:19Lads, the heavy machinery,
38:20perfect place to hide a bunch of kids.
38:31Sheriff one, all available units to La Mirada Quarry.
38:34Okay, we're on our way.
38:35I'd see you there.
38:36What's up, buddy?
38:36I told him that I'd call him as soon as we got a location on the kids.
38:39He's close by.
38:39You're two friends now?
38:41Yeah, right.
38:42Me and the ex-con.
38:43It's good.
38:43You could do some fun.
38:44I have friends.
38:46I have friends.
39:01Everything okay, Sheriff?
39:02Sheriff's office!
39:02Sheriff's office!
39:03What's your hands up?
39:03Whoa, whoa, whoa!
39:04Don't shoot!
39:05What do I do?
39:05What's going on?
39:06Lawrence, right Holt?
39:07What?
39:08No, no.
39:08He's the day guard.
39:09I work nights.
39:10My name's Abbott.
39:11Sean Abbott.
39:13All right, Sean.
39:14You're going to have to help us out.
39:15Turn on all the lights.
39:27Okay, we'll split up.
39:28Look for any structure that can hold kids.
39:29We're looking for a trailer, cargo, container, anything.
39:32Sharon, you're with me.
39:32Okay.
39:46Clear.
39:51Clear.
39:52Clear.
39:57Check with your good eye.
39:58You guys got jokes.
39:59I bet you didn't see that coming either, huh?
40:04Claire!
40:10Claire!
40:15Thanks for grabbing my back at Smokey's.
40:17Yeah, well, my old partner used to always jump first without looking.
40:20I got used to bailing him out.
40:21Sounds like somebody I'd like to meet.
40:23That'd be tough.
40:26Hey, hey.
40:27This tread pattern looks like it matches the one from up at the bomb site.
40:31Look at that.
40:33These are truck tracks.
40:35Yeah, dually.
40:36Let's just go this way.
40:38And then, like, disappeared.
40:40Look at that.
40:45Hey, Boone, the sand is all soft right here like it was just moved.
40:54We buried him alive.
40:57Mickey, we got something.
40:58We're in the south pit.
40:59Copy.
41:00Coming to you.
41:04Boone, give me a hand right here.
41:09Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
41:10Hold on, hold on.
41:10Boone, give me a hand over here.
41:11Wait, hold on.
41:11I like this.
41:12I don't like this.
41:12Hold on, hold on.
41:14Boone.
41:25I got it.
41:25I got a hard edge right here.
41:37All right, it comes this way.
41:48Boone, we got a hatch here.
41:57Boone, give me a hand.
42:03Boone.
42:05Boone!
42:07Boone!
42:13Boone!
42:14Boone!
42:21Sheriff One, Adam One, we got an explosion in the south pit of La Mirada quarry.
42:26I lost visual on Lieutenant Boone and Firefighter Leone.
42:33No!
