Damn it.

Hi. Hi.

You got a gas?

No, but it just stopped.

Now this stupid, incredibly stupid thing won't start again.

Cigars. Well, if they weren't stupid, I'd be out of a job, you know.

Let's see.

Huh?

Uh -oh.

What?

The timing chain.

Is that bad?

They in the shop to a 300 minimum Well, maybe you

could tell me you see that's the problem I'm on call as a guy waiting for me

about three miles down the road and What do you live whenever in your Luma

Tell you what?

I'll take you halfway. There's a phone at window, but you can call someone in

there

Thanks for the lift. I really appreciate this.

No problem.

Metabrook is back the other way.

Change of plans.

I didn't do that. Quick, shut my chalice.

Luke,

I'm sorry. I can't. You guys, hold it down in there. Yes.

Yes, what did you say?

Who is this?

What do you want?

Please tell me what you want.

What?

A man. He thought they had Kimberly.

Could be a prank.

No, it wasn't.

That's why she didn't call. She never... Matthew, take your brother upstairs

now, please.

Go!

Jimmy?

I'm going to check the route she took.

I have the phone company try to backtrace the caller's number.

Wait here in case he calls again.

Contact FBI. Miss me personally. Here's a list of Kimberly's friends. Phone

numbers and addresses.

Find out who saw her last.

Where's Jimmy?

Tracing Kim's route home from Lombard's office. Jenny, it's a code seven. I want

every officer in here now. I've already done it.

I won't restrain you in any way, so please, stay put. Read, rest.

Don't scream and bang on these walls. Just tire yourself out.

This is soundproof.

Okay.

I wish I had nicer accommodations for you.

It's fine.

I like that poster.

Is it Yosemite?

That's very smart.

Engage me in conversation.

Treat me like a person.

Those who survive do so for just that reason.

It's Death Valley.

Are you going to hurt me?

Oh, absolutely not.

I'll be back at six in the morning. I promise.

I've got to go.

Donuts!

Excuse me? We'll set up a command center and organize a search party.

We can serve coffee.

And donuts.

Howard, listen to me.

What we need from you is for you to issue a calm statement to control public

hysteria, not donuts. You listen to me. These kinds of crises can pull a town

together. A command center can help.

Don't ever underestimate the power of volunteerism. Okay.

But issue the statement.

A good jelly roll could be the glue.

Why do you need her clothes?

The dog, something...

worn something with her scent.

There's clothes in the hamper. Oh, good. Get them.

Jimmy.

Please, I don't want to waste any time. I'll call you as soon as we get

something.

Take care of the boys.

The contact at the AG's office got a list of all six offenders on release.

People with false imprisonment M .O .s.

What do you have from serology?

No sign of struggle inside or around the scene.

Two errant hairs in the car, both hers.

Friends?

Just your daughters.

You set up over there.

Good.

I want to monitor your home phone in case he calls again.

Take him out there.

Okay, go, Ron. Go.

Excuse me.

I heard about the sheriff's daughter on the radio.

I thought maybe I could help. Who are you? My name's Jimmy. I'm an ex -cop. I

specialize in missing persons.

I thought maybe I could help.

Oh, excuse me.

Jimmy.

Yep. I just heard.

What are you doing here?

Well, I just heard about Kimberly. I thought maybe I could help.

Do you have my daughter?

I got her.

What kind of question is that for God's sake?

I was the best man at your first wedding.

You do anything to her, I'll kill you.

Now, you know that's not true.

You're a man of the law.

Where is she?

Look, I thought maybe I could help.

Obviously, that was a mistake.

Yeah. Where's my number?

Call me.

If you change your mind.

That man had my daughter.

This man used to be your police partner?

Fourteen years ago, we were questioning a kidnapped suspect. After I left the

room, Rick used excessive force.

The suspect died. I testified against Rick.

He was convicted.

He served nine years, stayed in prison.

Released two years ago. I'm getting a warrant. I want his house searched.

Hold on a second.

He's got her.

But we have nothing to make a warrant.

The man Jennings killed.

kidnapped a 17 -year -old girl Kimberly's age.

This is payback.

She was buried alive in a ditch.

If I hadn't forced him to tell me where she was, she'd be dead.

You killed him?

I pummeled him.

To tell me where that girl was.

He died a week later of a fractured skull.

And your father put me away.

I'm sure he thought he was just...

Doing his job. Oh, he always does his job. By the book.

He's an exemplary law enforcement officer.

Something we all should be.

Hey.

Do you remember this party?

Is that me?

Mm -hmm. With my daughter.

It's Lisa's birthday party. A third.

Boy, you two are inseparable.

You're too young to remember.

No, I do remember.

Where is she now?

She's with her mother.

I had this kind of a nervous breakdown in prison.

My wife, she...

It's all fit to separate herself from me.

I get no visitation. I'm supposed to be this dangerous person.

I don't know.

They're somewhere in California, I think.

So that's why you took me.

To get back at my father. Don't use logic.

Logic will never help you solve anything.

Please, please let me go.

Well, my daughter's pretty.

Just like you.

Put a tail on Jennings and put two unmarked units in front of his house.

already done.

The stakeout's already in place.

We also have a chopper outside that's equipped with heat sensors. So once he

leaves his house, we'll scan the building. We'll be able to tell if

heat inside, so if she's in there.

His ex -wife and daughter live in California.

Contact them, find out what they know.

I need the pictures.

Town meeting starts at 11. I need the flyers with Kimberly's picture.

Somebody left a helicopter out there, double parked.

I want him ticketed.

Scofflaws.

Jill, I'd like you at the meeting. An appeal from the parent can be very

effective.

Oh, and get this.

We'll be serving donuts.

The good kind.

Can't we get a real mayor on this thing? Damn it, he's talking about donuts,

Jimmy. I am a real mayor.

I'm sorry, Howard.

I'm sorry.

I'll talk at the meeting.

I'll be there.

Jill?

It is you.

Rick Jennings.

How long has it been? Almost 12 years.

Look, I heard, and I want you to know that I'm here to help in any way I can.

You know, Kimberly and my daughter, they were playmates. They used to play that

game with the stray. You remember that? What was the name of that game?

Why is everybody so still?

I understand despair, but I expected frenzy, panic.

Rick, do you have Kimberly?

Oh, I'd expect that from Jimmy.

He obviously thinks me capable of evil, but you... Well, I guess the hysteria

about losing a daughter can't make one irrational.

Let him talk.

I remember.

Sitting in that jail cell, having lost my family.

That can make you insane.

And I understand perfectly how I can be considered a suspect here. I mean, being

betrayed by your partner, your best friend, being abandoned by a

wife and kid.

How could hatred not fester?

How could it be humanly possible not to be obsessed with vengeance?

I mean, vengeance is a human emotion, and we all know that I am human.

Isn't that right, Jim?

Huh?

It's ironic, too, you know? Because I bet that is what you're all praying for.

God, whoever's got her.

Just let him be human.

Engage him. Keep him talking.

What was that, Inspector?

I think you and Sheriff Brock have some laundry to hang.

Interrogation's never been your bag, Jimmy.

See, the trick is, you've got to convince the suspect that you're crazier

he is.

That maybe you'll snap.

Maybe kill him, even.

But you... You'll never step outside the law, will you, Jimmy?

You'll never forsake procedure. You're an honorable man.

That will reduce you.

just by picking up heat? From a thousand feet, this thing can tell if a woman's

menstruating.

Sorry. It's okay.

We usually have just men up here.

It's okay.

I got it.

What? Behind the kitchen. Probably a pantry or something.

Something's in there.

You sure?

Somebody's down there.

Affirmative. Get the warrant. We'll meet you on the ground.

What's happening here?

She's in there.

Knock her down.

It's okay, Frankie.

They won't hurt you.

All right, text the house.

All right, let's move it.

Mr.

White.

Daddy, down here.

Daddy!

Nothing. We hit every room.

Well, she's got to be here.

Not.

We've got her, and we've got her someplace else.

Just the whole house.

You are going to need a separate warrant for that, Jimmy.

Proceed, Jimmy.

Go straight.

All right, everybody out.

Don't leave.

I'm in here. Please.

Don't leave.

We'll be back.

Let's go.

Four different volunteer search parties have been organized.

In addition to helping us find Kimberly, this is the best way to ventilate your

own anxiety.

We've hired six child psychologists to address the students at school to help

mitigate their trauma.

Parents, initiate dialogue with your children.

This was the sheriff's daughter who was abducted.

If it can happen to her, it can happen to anybody.

So get involved.

We'll do our job. You do yours.

Jill, anything before we adjourn?

I would just like to say thank you.

My family will never forget.

For all that you've done. And I'd like to ask for Kimberly

that tonight maybe, maybe we could all say a prayer and hope that

God listens.

I'm sorry.

I didn't want to wake you.

I was just, uh, watching you sleep.

Hey.

What's your gift?

A dress?

It's a prom dress.

Now, this may sound crazy, but actually...

It doesn't sound crazy at all.

When I was in prison, before my wife saw fit to continue her life without me, I

found daydreams to be the best way of coping.

One of my favorite drifts was a dance with my daughter before she went sailing

off to the junior prom with the quarterback of the football team.

You're a size four, aren't you?

I'll bet you that fits.

You want me to wear this?

Mm -hmm. Tonight.

Eight o 'clock.

Would you dance with me, Kimberly?

That's my surrogate daughter.

We've read through Jennings' old police incident reports.

References he's made regarding you.

Definite paternalistic pattern.

He's looking to locate approval with you and from you.

Our guess is that he's in severe denial over the murder he's committed.

He needs to be validated, and it has to come from you.

My daughter may be dying somewhere. I don't have time for this.

Make the time, Sheriff.

These men are our top behavioral scientists.

They're your daughter's best hope.

Get to the point.

He's looking to you for redemption.

Which is good, because he knows he'll never achieve that if he harms your

daughter. We want you to bring him in for questioning.

Try. I can't crack him.

He wants to be cracked, Sheriff.

He needs to reveal himself.

To you.

I think only to you.

Officer Pike reporting in. Search of Norfolk Field completed. No physical

evidence found.

I deputized him.

Just delete a search party, that's all.

Permission to drag the Pembroke bog?

Denied.

Max didn't go get Jennings.

Eddie.

Look,

I want you to wear these, okay? They're pager, just in case.

And if a stranger comes up to you... All you have to do is push this button.

Okay?

Just to be safe, that's all.

Why is everything bad happening to us?

I don't know.

Where's Dad?

I don't know.

Matt, he's working, okay, sweetie? I told you. He'll be home.

He'll be home.

What? Howard Buss?

Well, take him to my office and I'll meet you there.

Okay.

Howard Buss is fainted. I have to go examine him. You're coming with me. Come

on. Can we stay here in case... No.

No. You're coming with me. Come on. Let's go.

You just can't drag me in here.

No warrant. No phone call.

This isn't custodial, Rick.

You said you wanted to help.

Oh, that was before, when something could be done.

Meany.

Oh, meaning, if I'm the guy, then Kimberly's still be alive. That's true.

But if I'm not... Jimmy, think about this.

If I'm not... You said you only received that one phone call.

Nothing else since?

Well, we all know what happens when all contact starts.

I don't blame you for believing that it's me.

You've got to be praying that it's me.

Otherwise, uh... Kimberly's probably dead.

Your heart rate is a little high.

But otherwise, I suppose it could have been a toxic reaction.

I took a pill.

A pill?

What kind of a pill?

Ritalin?

No wonder you've been so alert.

I took it before the town meeting. This is not approved for Alzheimer's, Howard.

This is like an amphetamine.

It fights off the dementia.

No, temporarily. But the permanent result could be cardiac arrest.

I'm only taking it temporarily.

Your daughter is gone.

Like you said, we need a real mayor taking charge.

I want to be as smart as I can.

Howard, this is already affecting your heart.

Please don't take this.

I just want to help.

She is. You don't seem to be making much progress here. It's time for you to

leave the room, Jimmy.

I left the room because... I'll do whatever it takes to get that girl back.

didn't want you to kill the guy. I want my daughter back. I want my kids back,

too. This has nothing to do with your family. It's got everything to do with

family.

Everything.

You know what happens to cops in prison?

Huh?

I don't blame my wife for running away.

I was...

Look, it's got everything to do with it.

Okay.

Okay, what I did cost you your family.

Ah, don't patronize me.

I'm not.

I'm just stating the truth.

In your mind, I cost you your family, so you've returned to threaten mine. You

took Kimberly. Can we admit that?

We could, if it were true.

Ah, you're right. You're right. It's too big a coincidence. Your daughter

disappearing, and am I showing up?

That's a silly coincidence, but you see, the question is here.

Maybe, yes, maybe I just heard about your daughter disappearing and I came in

here to see you.

Just to see your anguish.

Maybe celebrate it a little bit, huh?

I mean, prison did make me crazy.

Maybe even perverse enough to savor your misery.

Maybe that's why I'm here.

You see, somebody that deranged.

Maybe just a little small leap to being psychotic enough to actually commit to

kidnapping.

I'm definitely sick, Jimmy.

The question is, how sick?

You say you know me?

Well, tell me.

Am I that sick?

You let him go?

I had no cause to hold him. Now, why is this thing not going on?

I don't know. Maybe he's not connected to the phone line or something. Jimmy,

you know that he has her, how can you let him walk free?

Nothing to hold him on, Jill.

We're tailing him and letting him go. We hope that he'll lead us to Kimberly.

But he's not doing that. He keeps going home. He just goes home. He just stays

there. He's not leading you to Kimberly. Sooner or later, we hope that he will

lead us to Kimberly. We are doing exactly the very best thing, okay?

Now, I need to get these probation reports.

Tell them to fax you up the office. I want to be online through the night in

case. Okay.

selfish, honey, but I'm not making it here. And Matthew and Zach, they're not

making it either. They're dying. Can't you talk to them?

I will.

I will.

Now, I have to go through some probation reports with the FBI.

The FBI people have some more profile reports. I should review them.

I've got to run down to the office.

I'm going to get some reports. I'll be back.

You need me to be strong.

He left the room.

Ain't no one's gonna use force.

Nina Emmons, that was the name of that girl.

Boy, you should have seen the face of those parents when they got her back.

They were crying like babies. They hugged us both.

I'm not afraid anymore.

I know you now, and I'm not afraid.

God, maybe I'm crazy. I should be scared to death.

But now, when I look at you, I see somebody who protects.

And I suddenly feel very safe.

I think you mean that.

I do.

I even liked our dance.

Or you could be saying that because you pity me.

Pity reminds me of the past, what I lost.

I don't like to be reminded of that.

No one's like that need to be reminded.

I promised that I would protect you. I didn't want to hurt you. Would you

forgive me?

Okay.

You can excuse me. I'm not feeling very well. I'm feeling a little uneasy.

Okay.

She's in the house.

What? Kimberly.

She's in his house, underground.

Howard, we checked the house.

I know, with heat sensors.

But I checked the Riverton City records.

The owners of that house in 1952 got a permit for a bomb shelter.

Excuse me?

Pediabatic concrete, hermetically sealed.

What are you talking about? That could be it. Those shelters had zero heat

transfer.

A person's body heat would go undetected. She could be in there

Let's go.

All right, it won't be easy to find. We'll need ultrasound echolocation.

Give me some stethoscopes from the hospital.

You better use seismic imaging.

If it's deep, the echolocator won't work.

Move,

move, move.

All right, you two, around back. Right.

Let's go. Hit it.

Move it, move it, move it. Get going.

We know there's a bombshell in here.

We're going to clear this house up until we find it.

You're going to regret that, Jimmy.

It's over, Rick.

You know, Jimmy, I saw this movie once.

About this guy.

He had this hostage inside of this bomb shelter.

And all around the shelter, he had this wiring.

So if anybody would penetrate the area, the inside of the shelter would

detonate.

Awful.

I wish I could remember the name of that movie.

See, he would activate the explosives from this hidden panel, which is great.

Then he had this other button that would cut off the oxygen supply.

To the shelter.

So as soon as the policemen would come in the front door, the hostage would

start losing air.

I tell you what, I remember the name of that movie, and you and me, we're going

to watch it.

Have some popcorn, you know.

Just like old times.

Get everybody out of this house, and now, you, stay.

Let's move, come on, let's move.

Let's move.

Move, move, move. Come on.

Okay.

What?

Tell me what you want.

Just give me my daughter. I want you to understand, Jimmy.

I want you to understand the futility I felt in that room.

Staring in the eyes of that psychotic wacko.

while this innocent girl lay buried in the stitch, suffocating. I want you to

comprehend that, Jimmy. I want you to comprehend it. I understood.

No, no, no, I don't think you understood. I did!

All right, I left that room knowing you'd... That's why I left. How the hell

could you possibly testify against me? I didn't think you were going to kill

him.

You murdered him, Rick.

You got that blood on my hands.

I couldn't let that go. I thought about that girl like she was my own daughter,

just like you're thinking right now of yours.

You see this, Jimmy? Look at this.

Look at that.

Oh, she's suffocating. She's not getting enough air.

Damn you.

You feel it?

What do you want?

I want you to be willing to kill somebody in order to get your daughter

want to go to my grave knowing that you understand.

I do.

Show me.

Show me. I don't want to kill you. She's dying, Jimmy. Turn the air on.

Show me.

Show me.

Stop it. Show me.

Oh, stop it.

I made you die.

Do you trust me?

What's going on?

What happened? He said he'll release her. What, you left him in there with

He said he'll release her.

Jimmy.

There she is.

Jimmy.

What's he doing in there?

That might be tough to do.

You must

be good parents.

She was very well behaved.

Goodbye, Jimmy.
