What's your emergency?

Hello? This is 911.

Are you able to respond?

Yeah. I need help.

Of course. Can I get your name?

My name is Jack Reed.

I was abducted 12 years ago.

I escaped.

Please, I need your help.

Okay, Dad will be down in any minute to drive you to school, okay?

Mom, I have to take the bus. I'm in middle school now. I know, buddy.

I just... You don't get to see much of him during the week, right?

So I think he likes the time with you. Do it for him, okay?

Do what for me?

We were talking about rides to school.

Oh.

You're not thinking about bailing on me, are you, buddy? Come on, I love our

morning hangs.

All right. I guess I'll hang with you. All right. Thank you so much.

Now, come on, you big middle schooler. You're going to be late. Let's go.

Come here.

I love you so much. Love you, too. Hey, remember, I get to pick you up. I know,

I know.

Go stop into the car. I'll be there in a sec.

Oh, yeah.

You okay?

Yeah. It's been a nice break.

I'm going to miss having him around the household.

Yeah.

He's going to be fine. You're going to be fine. I know.

Love you. I love you.

have a good day bye bye

Hello? Yes?

Detective Doyle? Where's Detective Doyle?

Richard. Billy.

I left the man to leave.

I remember waking up in a van.

Do you remember who was in the van with you?

Oh, my God.

He was 12 years ago.

I think it was Unc.

Unc. Unc, yeah, like Uncle.

That's what we called him. He looked so different back then.

It's been 12 years.

They said they were my real family.

Back then it was Unc and my aunties.

Oh my God, it's him.

Yes, sir.

What do you mean that they're not?

I know, I just... Richard.

Richard, if it had been 30 years, I would know my son. That is our son.

Where the hell have you been?

So there were women after you?

Not at first, but later, yeah.

There were kids, too, a little older than me.

Unc told me they were my cousins.

He said that my mom and dad weren't my real parents.

Where did they take you?

Where did you live?

All over.

We traveled mainly in RVs, town to town.

There was a truck and a van, too. It was kind of like a... Caravan. You traveled

together. Yeah.

Mostly stayed in the mountains.

RV parks, trailer parks.

Sometimes we'd stay for a couple months.

Sometimes just a night or two.

And you remember these places?

I mean, some of the more recent ones, yeah.

And you never heard about how others were looking for you?

This was a national story.

No. No, we weren't allowed to watch TV or...

read any papers or call anybody.

All we could do was read books and watch old movies on VHS tape.

Do you know what those are?

Yeah.

Jack, do you remember the names of these aunties and this Unk? No, Unk didn't

want us to use names.

How did you escape?

A couple nights ago, we stopped at a gas station.

Normally, I...

Wouldn't be allowed to leave the RV, but Uncle's away.

Would have never let me go in there alone.

But my auntie did.

And there was a TV behind the counter. And it was the first live TV I'd seen

since before they took me.

And there was a story about a disappearance 12 years before.

And then I saw this picture.

And it was me.

I realized that everything Uncle had told me was a lie, and I just felt so

stupid and angry.

Jack.

Jack, you didn't do anything wrong. In fact, what you did, finding a way out

contacting authorities, it was very brave.

Mrs. Reese?

Mrs. Reese?

It's effective to how can I see him?

In a moment. I just wanted to brief you. I heard what he was saying. With them,

it has to be them.

We're looking into that.

But remember, they all had alibis and witnesses to confirm those alibis.

Did you ever tell him the truth?

No.

We were going to tell him when he was older, but... There'll be a time for

But maybe you should hold off until...

We find out who took him.

Detective Doyle.

Did they hurt him?

There's no immediate indication that he was abused by them, but that's for him

to confirm.

Okay, what's the next step?

What do you mean?

What do you mean we go in there and then we take him home, right?

We're going to take some blood samples from him. No.

Haley. No, I am not having the first thing we ask of my son after 12 years

apart. It's for a blood test to prove who he is. It's just to make sure.

are you happy that he's alive of course i'm happy he's alive of course look i'm

sorry i didn't mean that i just mean that we need to make it official in the

eyes of the authority we can wait on it if you want but everything he told me

says it's your son can i please go see him

of course

Jack. Jack.

Oh, my God,

Jack.

Oh, my God, Jack. I miss you so much.

I miss you, too.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry. We looked.

I looked everywhere for you. I swear.

I'm sorry we couldn't find you.

It's okay, Mom.

I didn't want to stop.

I didn't want to stop. I'm so sorry.

Your mom's gone to pick up Tyler from school.

She's pulling him out early.

I think it's a good reason for it.

What do you think of the neighborhood?

Okay, come on in.

Don't, uh, don't worry about your shoes, okay?

So, here we are.

Home sweet home.

Oh, yeah, those things.

Don't even ask. They came with the house.

Your mother hates them.

So what do you think?

Oh, even bigger than I remember.

Oh, no, Jack.

We actually bought this place 50 years after you... Oh.

Feel free to take a look around. We've got the kitchen here, a little reading

room in the back there.

where you do your work?

Sometimes. I've been stuck at the office lately.

Hey.

Want to see your room?

Come on, upstairs.

This is it.

It's supposed to be a guest room, but, well, we never really had any guests,

so...

It's just become a bit of a storage space of sorts.

But, you know, we can set it up however you want.

I don't know. Look at this.

Tyler must have been going through some of this old stuff.

Do you remember this?

No.

You hit your first home run with that ball.

You insisted on bringing it home.

I was your coach.

You're a good player. Do you still play?

They didn't let us play anything.

Well, I've got some of my old stuff in here that will probably fit you.

But we'll get your mom to take you to the mall, get you some new clothes,

even get you a new hat. Don't touch me.

I'm sorry.

No, it's okay. I don't like being touched.

I'm sorry. No.

No, Jack, you don't need to apologize, okay? All right.

Jack, do you remember your brother?

Tyler.

I'm telling you, honey, he just freaked out.

I mean, he must have some trauma.

You probably just startled him.

I mean, the only man he's ever known is the one that took him away from his

family.

I don't know, Richard.

I just... Hayley.

He's going to have to talk to somebody.

I know.

I know. Of course he does. I just... I just want to give him a little time.

And you're going to have to tell him everything.

All of it.

Not now, though.

Even Detective Doyle said we should wait.

Okay.

We have to tell Jack the truth. We can't keep hiding it from him. He has to

know.

More bacon?

Oh, no, honey. I couldn't eat another bite.

Mom, stop.

Coach says you need to bulk up for baseball.

There he is.

How was your sleep?

Are people coming over?

No. No, no one's coming over. I just woke up and wanted to cook. I didn't

what you liked.

This is for me?

Sit down.

Yeah, oh, buddy, we're running late. We got to go. And this feast that your mom

made us is only going to slow us down even more. Come on.

Can I sit down with Jack?

No.

Buddy, you have school, okay?

Besides, Jack and I just, we have some boring shopping to do, but we'll pick

up after school and we'll do something special, okay?

Okay. Hey.

Jack, I'll see you when I get back from work, okay?

You're not coming back?

Um... No.

Sweetie, Dad needs to work.

I suppose I could... No.

No, no, no. No, look.

Jack, hey, I'm going to stay with you the whole day.

They said that we need to create some normalcy, right?

Besides, Dad's kind of an important guy at his company, so... What do you do for

work? He's the CEO.

No, I'm a CEO of a wealth management firm. I could tell you all about it, but

I'd probably bore you to death. So, you know what? Why don't I maybe take a

couple days off next week?

I can move some meetings around. I can bring my laptop here and do everything

from here. You can do everything from your laptop?

Yeah. Yeah. No problem.

You just have a good time with your mom, okay?

Buy whatever you need.

All right? Let's go, bud. Thank you for breakfast.

Come on.

Sorry. I... I just didn't know if I'd ever be across the breakfast table from

you again.

The food... It's amazing. The most I've ever had.

Okay, so here's the plan. We're going to go shopping, going to buy you a whole

new wardrobe, get out of Dad's clothes.

These are the nicest clothes I've ever had.

I also, I called the school earlier, and the principal wants us to stop by. You

don't have to go, not immediately, but she's just wondering if you could take

academic assessment test just to kind of see where you're at.

Okay, if you want me to, I will.

Yeah, I definitely think we need to get you some new shit. What do you think?

Yeah, I guess.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Jack, what's it like to be home after so many years away? Please, I... Please,

no. Listen, do you have children?

Yes. Okay.

I haven't seen one of mine in 12 years.

I'm sorry. I'm just trying to do my job. I get that. I do. But you need to give

me time with my son.

Please.

Please, put that down.

Tell you what. Give me your card, and I will email you an exclusive statement.

And after that, just please give him time to acclimate, and I promise you'll

the first person I call to this story.

Please.

As a mom.

Please. Okay.

Good luck.

Go.

Hey.

Hey, are you okay?

Yeah. Let's just go.

They look good.

You know, you always wanted a pair like those when you were younger.

Oop, I missed that.

You know, we didn't have to go shopping for all new clothes. I could have just

gone to a thrift store or something.

Yeah, well, the way I see it, we didn't get to spend any money on you for 12

years, so why not have a little fun with it, right?

Are you nervous?

Not really.

Principal's really nice. I think you'll like her.

Now, Mrs. Reese.

Haley, please.

Haley, don't put too much on the test results.

This is just to help us gauge where to start him whenever you feel like he's

ready to go back to school.

Do you really feel like he should go to school?

Educationally, 100%. Socially, even more.

The structure that we can give him here can help him acclimate.

We have an amazing counselor as well.

If he ever needs to talk about anything.

I just really want him to be happy.

Wait, he's done already?

Come on, let's go.

So, how'd he do?

That bad?

I mean, did you see the look on her face?

How did you do that? How did you ace that test?

He insisted we know more than anyone and that we always looked at all sides of

the truth.

He had us read novels and textbooks and a bunch of academic papers he'd print

off at the library.

That's all we ever did other than movie nights.

He didn't think the world always knew the truth, or at least his version of

truth that he wanted them to know.

Wow.

I'm very impressed, kiddo.

I can't wait to tell dad.

Can I have a phone?

Um, I suppose it's something we can talk about.

It's just, if I'm going to go to school, it seems like everyone has one.

Wait, you want to go to school?

to comment on the open investigation and the parents of Jackson Reese have

released a statement to the media thanking everyone for their love and

but requesting that they be allowed to celebrate and reunite with their son in

privacy as he adjusts to life back home.

Are you rich or something?

I'm sorry?

Sorry that you're rich or sorry you didn't hear me.

I've actually got to get to a meeting. Have a good day.

It's a nice car.

Looks expensive.

Thanks.

Can you believe it? It's like he's some type of genius or something.

Richard?

Huh?

Sorry.

You okay?

Yeah, it's just a weird day.

But he's a genius. It's great. He takes after his mom.

Yeah, right.

He has the brains and the spirit.

How was shopping?

He felt bad about spending so much money on clothes.

Can you believe that? A teenager feeling bad about spending money on shorts and

shoes and a phone?

A phone?

I know. I should have texted you.

What does he need a phone for? He doesn't even have any friends yet.

He saw the other kids at school had one, and I think he wants one for when he

goes.

School? Wait, he's going to school now? I thought we weren't going to rush him

into anything.

I didn't do anything.

He wanted to go. I don't know if it was the test or seeing the other kids, but

it was his idea.

Okay.

I just want to give him everything he should have had.

No, of course.

I'm sorry.

You had a crazy day.

He really ate the test.

He did.

Hey, um, did you see the newscast?

Yeah. I guess it wasn't so bad.

I just don't want it to get any worse.

You think Michael saw it?

Oh, my God.

I didn't even think about it.

It's been so long with everything going on. It's okay.

It's not okay.

It's my brother.

Everything that happened to him when Jack was abducted.

Haley, it was not your fault.

It was none of ours.

The prime suspect behind Jackson's disappearance 12 years ago was his

Michael Connor, brother of Jackson's mother, Haley Reese. According to

three articles of the missing boy's clothing...

were found in Connor's trailer home by police shortly after Jackson's

disappearance. Now that Jackson has been found alive 12 years later, Connor has

been exonerated from all suspicion.

Stay tuned for more details as the story unfolds.

Championship game.

I want to play in college.

Dad says if I don't catch up to everyone size -wise, I could get there being a

pinch runner.

You have the life I was supposed to have.

I saw a picture of you playing baseball years ago.

It's what made me want to play.

I wanted to because of you.

Got you.

Come on.

Put it one more.

Okay.

Hey, it's me.

Yeah, they got me a phone. It was easy.

Yeah, I did exactly what you told me to do. They believe it.

I mean...

Okay,

first day of school. You ready for this?

Yep.

Are you?

Do I have a choice?

All right, come on, big guy. Let's go. All right, buddy.

Don't forget your backpack.

Here you go.

Hey, hey, hey. I love you.

Love you, too. Have a good day. Bye.

Okay.

Have a good day. Thanks.

They're going to be fine.

You okay?

Yeah. I'll keep myself busy.

Okay.

Love you. Love you.

Have a good day.

Bye.

Mr. Reese, welcome to Montgomery High School.

Good luck today.

Thank you.

Maybe you can surprise us some more.

Sorry.

Yeah.

Well, no, we got to close.

Uh -huh.

I got to call you back.

Hey, sis.

Hey.

How'd you find me?

I had your address for a while.

Really? Wow. You never came to visit me.

I tried calling.

Yeah, no, that number was disconnected.

I haven't had a listed number in, I don't know, 12 years.

What can I do for you?

They found Jack.

You want to come in?

I saw it on the news.

You saw him? Yeah.

You don't look that shocked. Who should I be?

Look, Mike, I don't know what I'm supposed to say or not say.

I can say I'm sorry.

What are you sorry for? I'm sorry for what they did to you, for what Jack's

abduction did to you. Yeah, okay. Well, let me ask you this, because the last

time I did, you couldn't answer it. So did you think that I killed him?

Come on. Come on. No, no, no. It is an honest question, Haley. I lost my son.

I didn't. I didn't. You had broken into our house multiple times. Did you think

that I did? I didn't know.

Hey, I didn't know, Mikey, the drugs. The drugs, they turned you into someone

else.

Yeah.

Yeah, well, I don't do those anymore.

I haven't for almost 12 years.

But you know what ruined my life more than that? Huh?

I mean, hell, I go out into the world today, and they still think that I did

Okay, that is why I left.

I mean, sometimes I wish that the drugs, they just would have caught me full

swing, because, I mean, I might as well be dead.

Do you want to see him?

I saw him on TV.

Didn't look like him.

It's been 12 years, Mike.

I loved him, you know. I mean, I really did. I loved that boy.

And I know that I have my issues. I know why I probably shouldn't have been

around him. But before that, I was his uncle.

Do you want to see him?

I said goodbye to my nephew a long time ago.

What does that mean?

You should go.

Why?

I don't understand.

Why don't you want to see your nephew?

Daddy, my nephew.

And I haven't been to his uncle for a long time.

Even before he was gone.

We move.

If you ever want to... I know your address.

I've had it for a while, too.

Okay.

Well... My number's still the same.

Excuse me.

I know you from somewhere.

No, I don't think so.

You're not from the South, are you?

See, I got this thing with faces.

Once I see them, I don't forget.

Names. Forget about it.

But faces.

I think I'd remember.

No, I know.

It was on TV.

Your son.

He was kidnapped years ago, right?

I just don't know where he comes back like nothing happened.

I always thought it was that brother of yours, respectfully.

Thank God it wasn't.

I'm so happy you got your son back.

Nice kick.

This is the part where you say nothing back. Oh, thanks.

I knew it.

Knew what?

That you had a great smile.

I'm Summer.

Jack.

I don't know if you have any plans, but if not, maybe you want to sit with me

for lunch?

Sure. Why not?

What? Nothing.

Do I have something in my teeth or something? What?

No, no. I'm just waiting for you to ask.

Ask what?

What everyone around here wants to ask.

About what those people did to you all those years?

Can we stop at that?

Well, I'm not thinking about any of that.

I'm just having lunch with a cute guy, waiting to see if he'll offer to walk me

home.

I think you're right. I think it's time he

talked to someone.

Well, is he fitting in?

I mean, he's adjusting.

It's just... It's just something...

Off. Okay, well, how about this? Why don't we sit him down when I get home

we'll have a talk with him?

I don't know.

It's just every time I even get close to touching him, he just... No, I know. I

saw that, too.

You're right. Let's just talk to him.

Okay. I'll be home soon.

I love you.

I love you. See you soon.

Yeah.

I'm sorry. Can I help you with something?

Nope.

Got everything I need.

Hey. Get it?

Yeah, I got it.

Come pick me up.

We do what damage we can before they figure out what's happened.

They're all just like pointing and talking about me right in front of me

I'm not standing there. Even teachers treat me weird.

Okay, look, I know it's tough, but people are just curious about you, okay?

That's all.

Hey, um, Dad and I were talking and...

I think it's time you talk to a professional. I'm not talking to a

way. Jack, at some point, you're going to have to talk to someone. There's

nothing to talk about. Okay, sweetie, you... Stop calling me that! Hey, I'm

that little boy anymore.

You need to calm down, all right?

You're going to have to talk to someone.

All we are saying is that talking to somebody can help.

If you don't want to see a therapist, that is fine, but you can talk to us.

to me. I am here.

What do you want to hear, Mom?

Huh?

How they dragged me away 12 years ago and told me you didn't love me and that

you weren't my real parents and that you weren't looking for me?

They didn't beat me and they didn't do whatever I know you're scared they did,

but they took me away from you and made me believe you didn't even care.

And then I see your photo on the news and realize it was all a lie and I fell

for it.

You know how many times I could have gotten away years ago, but I didn't?

So yeah, I'm mad and I'm angry.

And I don't want to talk.

It's okay.

Look.

I'm sorry.

But please don't make me go relive the last 12 years of my life over and over

again with some stranger.

If you have questions, ask. I will tell you. But I just want to move on. You

know I don't...

I don't want this to be my life.

I just want to move on.

Yes. Is it done?

Yep. Got the whole family on it.

They won't know what hit them.

Sounds like you've been shopping.

Cash.

Untraceable. No one said I couldn't have any fun.

You want me to come back?

No.

I need you with the family.

He did your part. We did it well.

If I need you, I'll call.

And the next step?

Is he going to deliver?

He might need a little nudge.

But you don't got to worry about that.

Just make sure your tracks are covered.

They always are.

Left the door unlocked.

That's up for the game.

So Cam's mom gave me a ride home.

That was good, huh?

Oh, no.

If his practice ended early, Cam's mom's going to give him a ride home.

Oh, he's probably going to be hungry. It's a good thing we got this food.

Um, excuse me.

Hi.

What the heck?

What?

I don't have my wallet.

Maybe you left it in the car?

Uh, maybe.

Okay, well...

I've got my card.

Okay.

Thanks. Oh.

Declined.

What?

Um, I have my other one.

Declined again.

I'm sorry about this.

Um, you know what? I'll go to the car and get my wallet there. Do you have

enough cash to cover this, right? Yeah.

Okay.

I'm sorry, can I help you with something?

Nope. Got everything I need.

What are you doing?

Oh, I was, uh, I forgot my phone charger at school.

I was thinking if Dad had an extra.

Oh, well, I have one in my room.

Oh, thanks. Annie, can you actually sit there?

You said that I could ask you things.

Yeah.

Did they hurt you?

No. Not in any way?

No, never.

Were you scared?

At first, yeah. I don't remember a lot of the first few months, but they

were nice.

They were strict. There were a lot of rules, but they were nice.

Were you happy?

I mean, most of those 12 years.

I wasn't happy or sad. They didn't really give me time.

I guess I just had to move on.

Accept it.

I thought you didn't want me.

I thought you weren't looking.

Jack, hey, I never stopped looking for you.

I just, I ran out of places to look.

Every day, every day since you were gone, I would see a boy on the street

just thought it was you.

I drove up and down the highway for months just to see if you were at a rest

stop or a gas station.

Your dad, he missed you just as much.

He felt guilty and he felt responsible, but he loved you, Jack.

Okay.

Hey, what happened?

This young woman has been loitering around my office building. I don't know

she's homeless or what.

The other day she asked me about my car, and then today when I was leaving the

office, she bumped into me, and that must be when she took my wallet.

How bad is it?

It's bad.

All the cards are locked.

The bank and the card companies, they've tracked transactions in four different

states. They're everywhere. They're even taking cash out of ATMs.

How much?

Thousands.

It happened so fast, the bank didn't even realize it until I called them.

Okay, I don't want you guys to worry. We're going to be... We're going to be

okay. I just can't believe that. I fell for that.

Tell me this wasn't you.

This isn't what we planned.

I'll get what we need. I'm doing what you told me to do. Saying what you told

to say.

They believe it. All of it.

This doesn't help.

Hey.

You gonna get that?

Not yet.

Hey.

Hey. Have you seen Chuck?

No. Maybe he went for a walk or something.

Oh, he must have blocked himself out.

Michael.

Sorry, I'm...

Probably should have texted or called you first.

No, no, please.

Come in.

Honey, who is it?

Hey, Richard.

Hey, Mike.

I just thought, um... I just thought maybe I could see Jack, you know?

Yeah, yeah, no, if...

Of course.

We were just looking for him, but he should be back soon.

Oh, this is a nice place.

Don't worry, I don't break into houses anymore.

All right, that's what got me in that trouble in the first place.

Yeah. Look, Mike, about all that, I quit drugs a long time ago.

And, uh... There were a lot of things that I regret.

And I know I made your lives a living hell. But I mean, come on, even back

then... I mean, I would never have... Mike, I am...

I'm so sorry we couldn't do this. We were destroyed.

Jack was gone.

And yeah, I was angry.

With your history?

They found his clothes in your own damn trailer. What were we supposed to think?

Look, I'm sorry for everything you went through.

But we all went through it.

Does it look like him to you?

What do you mean?

People change in 12 years. No, I know. I get it. I mean, faces change, but I

mean, even if you look back at pictures when we were kids, Haley, you can see

our faces, you know? I'm just saying, does it look like Jack?

Mike, it's him.

Okay.

So you're telling me that you've never been to a movie theater before?

Never. Not even before?

No. My parents had Tyler. He was a baby.

Guess they didn't have the time to take me.

But you love movies.

I know. It makes no sense.

And you really don't know what a VHS tape is?

Okay, no.

Excuse me.

Sorry to interrupt you two lovebirds.

Just wondering if you could tell me where the interstate is.

Oh, yeah. It's like ten minutes down that way. You'll run right into it.

Right down there, huh?

Thank you.

You know, it's funny how in life you can get lost.

One wrong turn and things go haywire.

Very much appreciated. You guys have a good day.

You too.

You okay?

Yeah, yeah.

I should probably get home.

Are you sure? I mean, I can stay out a bit longer. My mom's probably freaking

out. But you're going back to school, right?

Yeah. Okay, can you text me when you get there?

Sure.

Jack, you remember your Uncle Michael?

Good luck, kid.

Yep. Hey.

Good job. Of course.

Anything for the family.

I think I got a new idea.

Oh, yeah?

What are you thinking?

Can you get one of the family members to drive you into town tonight?

Okay.

Hey, champ.

What's going on?

I don't want to bother you.

No, no, it's fine. Come on in.

Rough couple days, huh?

Yeah.

Can you tell me more about what you do?

Sure. What do you want to know?

I don't know. Mom said something about investments and crunching numbers.

Yeah, in layman's terms. That's what I do. I'm pretty good with numbers.

I know.

I saw your test scores.

why don't you come over here take a look

so

this is our internal banking database for our clients

so we can track investment opportunities and we funnel our clients money into

various stock transactions we also handle any payout directly to client

it's pretty boring stuff as i said no cool

How much money do you handle in one day?

Well, I can't get into specific, but at any one time we can have up to nine

figures in the company account before investments are made.

And you can do that all from here?

Yes, all from here.

You know, maybe we can get you into a good college and you can do an

sometime. Take on the family business.

Family business?

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, that'd be cool.

Okay.

Thanks for coming.

Wind it down.

Yeah.

Hi.

I'm Luna.

Hey, I'm Michael.

What are you listening to?

Um, nothing, just a random playlist.

I like it.

I was just, uh, passing through town. Thought I'd get some food here.

Fries are pretty good, am I right?

Yeah, yeah, they're not bad.

Do you mind if I come sit with you?

I just, I hate eating alone.

I'm not a murderer or anything.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Come on over.

Nice truck.

Yeah? Thanks.

What's it up?

So, uh, where are you headed?

Sorry? You said you were just passing through town.

Oh.

Yeah.

Madison.

Madison, eh? Well, still got a few hours left.

Yeah, I know.

I'll make it. I just, uh... needed a break.

So, uh, what's in Madison?

You know, um...

It's all right, brother.

I didn't mean to scare you.

I'm just wondering if you could show me where the interstate is.

My phone says to go south, but that doesn't seem right.

You never trust those things.

Yeah, they spilled new overpass, so it's messing everybody up.

You just got to keep following it south like it says, and it'll feel like you're

backtracking, but trust me, you'll see the signs.

Thank you so much. Have a good day.

Well, um, let's wash this down.

Two.

Oh.

That's so long.

So where are you from?

You okay?

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah. You know what? I just need some air.

Whoa. Easy, brother.

You're in no shape to walk.

Sorry to say, brother.

But you just downed a whole bunch of drugs.

Don't worry.

It'll all be over soon.

Easy, easy.

Why are you doing this?

Well, because you're part of the plan.

The one that started 12 years ago.

How do you think Jack's shirts got into your house?

Well, you know... No.

You killed me.

That's the plan.

See, old Jack, he sees things a bit differently these days.

He and I, well, we see an opportunity.

And your sister is a very rich woman.

Well, at least her husband is.

And that's why he's back.

Maybe old Jack isn't who he says he is. Maybe he was killed 12 years ago.

By you.

At least that's what the suicide note's gonna say.

Why?

Because.

They think Jack is just some con artist as opposed to a kidnapped kid.

That family's not gonna be looking as hard.

Especially when I send that email as your sister, which I will be doing at

time.

That was fast.

Yeah. We still need this guy.

Besides, nobody's going to be looking for him until we send out that email.

But come on, let's go.

Here you go, sweetie. Okay, Jack, we're leaving.

Dad will drive you to bed.

Bye. Okay.

Bye.

See if you can get him in for a meeting for like 4 o 'clock.

Okay.

Well, I don't think he needs to be there.

We're late again.

I know, buddy. Just tell your teacher it's my fault, okay?

Wait!

Stay in the car.

Mom, I gotta go.

No, no, no, wait!

Who

is

that?

Um, nobody, bud.

Uh, listen.

I want you to stay in the school, okay, until I can pick you up.

Do not leave the school until I text you. Do you understand?

Yeah.

Okay.

All right, buddy. I love you. Have a good day.

Love you, too.

Mm -hmm.

Okay, great.

Sounds good. We'll talk then.

Bye. Hey, Jack?

You ready?

Jack, we gotta go.

Come on, Jack. We're gonna be late.

What the hell?

Jack?

Jack, are you here?

Richard?

Hey, there's something I wanted to talk to you about. Jack's gone.

What? Yeah, I was all ready to take him to school. I went up to his room and he

was gone. The room's ransacked.

Oh, my God. Let's not panic. He's probably just out blowing off steam.

already called the... No, no, Richard, there was a van at Tyler's school.

A van?

Hey. Hey, uh... What's going on? I just, I needed to talk to someone.

Uh, okay. Um, okay, come on.

Tell me.

You can trust me.

I'm just confused.

About what?

Everything.

I know that look.

My parents drive me crazy sometimes.

No, that's the thing. I mean, they're perfect.

They care about me and they'd do anything for me.

Then what?

Listen, I'm sorry. I just, I needed to see you, but I shouldn't have made you

skip class.

Nobody makes me do anything.

You two married yet? What are you doing? For the second time, you won't do my

cover. Oh.

You're losing your focus.

I've never been more focused, Unc.

Let me remind you something.

They're not your family, and you're not even Jack Reese. Do you understand?

We conjured up this fantasy together.

We got a plan, and time is running out. Yeah, we had a plan that you keep

getting in the way of.

I can get what we need, but you gotta stop playing these games.

Nobody said I couldn't have a little fun in the process.

Yeah, well, your fun is getting in the way of the plan you came up with.

You know what they did to us?

To our family? How could I forget? Well, I think you have.

I think you're starting to like this suburban fantasy a little too much.

I think you're starting to like that life.

And the girl?

Maybe I'm going to have to step in before it's too late.

I can get what we need.

Then do it.

Where have you been?

For a walk.

Jack. You can't just skip school like that. I didn't skip school. Well, can

explain what happened in your bedroom? Can you explain why you were in my room?

Jack. What? This isn't my life.

This house, you, Tyler.

This isn't my life.

I know, sweetie, but we are trying to make it your life.

You have to let us in. You have to let us know how you're feeling so that we

help you.

Okay.

I'll tell you everything.

Okay. Okay, sit down.

Can I just shower first? It's been a day.

And then I'll come right back and I'll tell you everything, I swear.

Okay.

Why don't I go pick up Tyler? I can stop at Fratelli's on the way home. You

remember that place? We used to go there.

I think it's important that Tyler hears about this.

Is that okay?

Yep.

You know what? I'm just going to go to Michael's real quick.

I just... You all right?

Yeah, I just received a weird email from him.

Is everything okay?

Yeah, I just... I'll be back, okay?

Before you get home.

It was practice, buddy.

It was good, but I thought Mom was spitting me out.

Yeah, plans changed.

That's why we had to stop at Fatelli's.

It smells so good. Can I eat it? I'm starving.

No, we gotta wait till we get home, bud.

What the heck?

What was this guy's problem?

Dad, why is he doing that? I don't know. He's probably just having a bad day.

Don't worry about it, okay? Just, uh...

You got your seatbelt on?

Yeah.

What

are

you doing here?

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Are you sure? Did this happen at practice?

Wait, Detective Dole, what are you doing here?

A call came through the radio.

They got a hold of you?

No, I'm here with my brother. Wait, what happened? Where's Dad?

There was an accident.

What? He's okay, but he's got some internal bleeding.

He's in surgery right now for it.

Oh, my God.

Tyler said something about getting hit from behind.

Wait, hit them?

It was scary. It was scary.

But he was in a van.

I think so.

You said something about your brother.

Please, sweetie.

Stay here. I'll be right back, okay?

If only I had gotten

to his trailer earlier.

This isn't your fault.

Why don't you take Tyler home?

You could both use some sleep.

Richard, I... There isn't much you can do for either of them here.

He's exhausted.

Dad, is that okay?

He'll be fine. He's in surgery.

What happened?

A car accident.

Tyler said somebody hit them from behind.

What?

There's something else I want to tell you.

What? What else happened?

I'm just, I'm going to go make sure that Tyler is definitely asleep, and I just

don't want him to be scared.

Scared? What happened?

Just give me a minute

Not so bad.

Watch some time with that light.

You could have killed them.

I didn't.

We didn't come here to do that. We came for the money. That was your plan.

I get access to the funds and we transfer it to your account. That's what

wanted me to do.

And did you?

Then you'll understand my actions a bit.

If you kill anybody, there'll be more heat on us than ever. They won't stop

until they find us.

Don't worry about that.

Your Uncle Mikey?

Well, he's going to take the heat off us, just like he did 12 years ago.

What do you mean?

Well, he committed suicide.

Let the suicide email confess him to the killing of Jack Reese 12 years ago.

How could you know that?

You killed him.

You didn't have to do that.

It is time to take what we came here to take.

You go get it.

Who are you?

I'm your son.

I can't... I can't... Mom, I answered your question.

You answered mine.

Who is my father?

I want to hear you say it.

Say it!

White. White Zyker.

They told me the truth.

Richard isn't my dad.

And you did kill my real dad, didn't you?

Jack, we were going to tell you. I want you to tell me the truth.

Your birth father was part of a cult.

Not a religious one, but they... An ideology.

Yes, they believed in conning and robbing and stealing and... You don't

know that? I lived it for 12 years. Jack, I know. I just... You have to

understand that when I met Wyatt, he had left them. And that's when we fell in

love and everything changed when I got pregnant.

His family, they...

You know they are extremists.

They believed in controlling the family lineage or something like that, and he

wanted to take you on the road, and I refused.

I refused to raise you in that environment.

And so one day he came, and he came to get you. He had a gun.

And there was a struggle, and the gun went off, and he was gone.

When I came back, you knew.

Didn't you?

When you heard how I was raised?

But you didn't say anything.

Jack, after Wyatt was killed... After you killed him.

I had to start again. I moved, and that's when I met Richard.

And he was wonderful.

Jack, he... He agreed to raise you as his own, and a few years later we had

We were a family.

was going to tell you. I swear.

Jack.

Mom, these people, they're dangerous. They killed Uncle Michael. They're going

to say it was a suicide. No, no, no. He survived.

He's okay.

Well.

That's a shame. Travis, don't.

You're Wyatt's brother, aren't you?

That's right.

Please.

Don't hurt us.

There's enough now, huh?

Try to put that on the gun.

I came to kill you that night for what you did to my brother.

I finally found you and I was going to kill you.

Then Jack woke up.

And I decided death was too easy of a punishment and you needed to suffer.

So I took Jack and raised him like his father would have intended.

Then why?

Why did you do all this?

Because you and your husband are rich.

Figured the family should get their share.

What? What?

Yeah.

What do you think?

You don't gotta do much.

That blesses more.

You look so different.

What do you mean?

That's your son.

Act like you've been traumatized.

Don't touch me.

It's okay if you make mistakes.

Feed into their guilt.

Get close to them.

A minute by minute?

Yeah, it was easy.

They believe it all.

If you remember one thing,

they're not your family.

We are.

And you killed your father and my team out of your entire life.

But as I stand here today, I know one thing.

The money isn't enough.

Travis, just put the gun down. Where's the laptop? I transferred the money.

in the family account. It's there. It's over. Your plan worked.

There's a new plan, Jackie, Jack.

Bye. No!

He's gonna

kill me like he killed my brother.

And he saved my son from him.

And he'll save him from you, too.

I say, I call the police.

You're here. It's okay.

It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. It's over, Mom.

It's over.

At least the family got their money.

I lied.

I didn't send the money.

Travis Diker will be put away for a long time.

That's good.

That's really good.

Did he say anything about the woman that I saw? Luna.

Her name is Luna.

No. He never said anything about anyone in the family. And I'm pretty sure they

fled town.

And with him being locked up, they would have moved on.

Next chapter.

The next chapter.

No one's ever going to bother you again.

See, I could totally be a race car driver.

Yeah, I hope not. You'll lose your license before you even get it.

Hey, ah, two hands on the wheel.

Who is it from?

Summer. Want to meet at the park?

Okay, stay.

Sure. Sure.

No, no emojis. It's cute.

No, it's not.

The girl's my kid. Okay, fine.

Okay, one more laugh and park in the driveway.

Maybe I could pick her up for the date.

Get walking.

Even when you do get your life moves, mom's not quite ready for that.

I love you.

Thank you.
