(alarm rings)

(tense music)

- Hey honey, it's me.

So I just wanna give you a call.

I'm getting ready for my last watch.

Flight lands about four o'clock,

and by the time I get my bags

and go to baggage claim stuff,

I should be ready picked up at about 4:30.

So give Melissa a kiss for me and I'll see you tomorrow.

Love you.

(tense music)

Hey, morning bud, you ready?

- [Soldier] Yep.

- All right, we'll do this last one and get rid of it.

(tense music)

- See, I can't believe that gave you watch

on your last day in country.

- It is what it is, man.

Believe it or not, I asked for it.

Have a feeling, I'm gonna miss this one day.

- Oh, I don't know about that.

What you gonna do when you get home?

Man, I think I'm gonna spend some much needed time

with my wife and my daughter.

I might even grow a beard.

It's been 26 years since I had one.

- 26 years?

No, I wasn't even born.

- Nah, don't you finish that fucking sentence.

Mm-mm.

- [Soldier] All right, dude.

(tense music)

(bell rings)

(bell rings)

(tense music)

- All right, let's do this.

There we go, that is yours.

Give you back this nice sweaty vest.

Man, I'll see you.

(tense music)

(phone rings)

- Counselor?

- Karen, have a seat.

- Thanks.

- I have some paperwork for you to look over and sign.

(tense music)

- [Karen] So that's the last signature?

- Let me just check.

(tense music)

Yes ma'am, everything seems to be in order.

I'll get this filed with the clerk's office today

before they close.

Is there anything else I can help you with?

- No, I think that's everything.

Thanks for getting everything ready so fast.

- Not a problem.

I know divorce is hard,

but I'm gonna take really good care of you.

(gentle music)

(phone rings)

(upbeat music)

(phone rings)

(upbeat music)

- All right, ma'am, you're all loaded up.

May I get your signature please?

- Yeah, sure can.

Hey, thanks for getting everything done so fast.

- Oh, it's our pleasure.

- This is something for you and the guys.

- Oh, thank you ma'am.

You have a good day now,

and we'll see you in a couple of days at your new house.

- Sounds good.

- [Mover] Have a good day.

- Thanks, you too.

(upbeat music)

- Hey, Sarah.

- [Sarah] Yeah, what's up?

- Hey, you got a minute?

- Of course.

What's up?

- Hey, I haven't been able to get a hold of Bill

for a few days.

I don't have a way to get his car

to the new house, so, can I leave this envelope with you?

- Sure.

- It's got his car keys

and just some stuff for him to sign.

I hope you don't mind.

I told him to grab it from you.

- Oh, not at all.

No problem.

We sure are gonna miss you guys though.

- Aw, thanks.

We're gonna miss you too.

- All right, well safe travels.

- [Karen] Well, I better go before I start crying so.

- All right.

- [Karen] You take care of yourself

and thanks for everything, okay?

- Anytime.

Don't forget your trash bag.

Sweetie, it's time to go.

- [Melissa] Okay, mommy.

- Do you have everything?

- [Melissa] Yeah.

- Okay, then it's time to go.

Here, I'll take that, okay?

Get you buckled in.

All right.

- Do you think daddy's going to like the new house?

- [Karen] I think so, sweetie.

- I can't wait until he meets us there.

He's been gone forever.

- [Karen] It does feel like he's always gone forever.

- But now we can spend lots of time with the daddy.

- [Karen] Sure, sweetie.

Okay, let's go.

- Hey, you guys take here of your folks, okay?

- [Soldiers] Thank you.

- [Officer] Ship mate.

- Sir.

- I know you're not trying to walk off

of my war ship without even saying goodbye.

- Sorry about that, sir.

- 26 years.

- Yes, sir.

- All right, well thank you for your service.

- It's been fun.

- Yeah, thank you for your service.

- It's been my pleasure working for you, sir.

- Take care of yourself, all right?

- I will.

You guys be safe out here.

- [Officer] We will.

- Permission to go ashore.

- Go ashore.

(gentle music)

- Hey babe.

I'm sure you're busy getting things ready

or maybe you're already sleeping.

I'm just getting on the plane, so I'll call you when I land.

Can't wait to see the two of you tomorrow.

(gentle music)

Hey honey, it's me.

So I just got through customs.

I'm heading over to baggage claim right now,

so I'll be outside in about 20 minutes.

See you in a few.

Love you, bye.

(tense music)

- Okay, here you go.

Thanks again, appreciate it.

- No problem, sir.

Welcome back.

(tense music)

(knuckles rap)

- Karen.

Karen, it's me, open up.

(knuckles rap)

Melissa, it's daddy.

Open the door, sweetie.

Hello.

(tense music)

(phone rings)

- [Voiceover] The number you-

- The fuck is going on right now?

- [Sarah] Welcome home, Bill.

- Hey Sarah, thanks.

How are you?

- Good, how have you been?

- I don't know.

Do you have any idea where Melissa and Karen are?

- Oh, the movers finished yesterday,

so the girls are already on the way to the new house.

- I'm confused, what are you talking about?

- Bill, Karen told me she left you a message

and explained what was going on with the movers.

She said you'd be by to pick up your car

so you could drive it to the new house.

- What new house?

We didn't buy a new house.

What are you talking about?

- Bill, Karen told all of us

that you guys bought a new house

and that you are transferring to a new duty station

until you retire.

She asked me to give you this.

- Thanks Sarah.

- Welcome home, Bill.

- [Karen] Billy, I'm so sorry, but I can't do this anymore.

The closer it got to you coming home, the more I realized

that I didn't want to be married anymore.

You've been gone so much over the years

that I've always felt like a single mom.

With you coming home,

it feels like Melissa and I will be living with a stranger.

I used the general power of attorney you signed

to sell the house and get us legally divorced.

I do not want anything from you

except for you to be there for Melissa.

But even with that, I'm going to need a few months

to get used to things.

I took half the equity from the sale of the house

and deposited the other half in your account.

All your stuff is in the storage.

The information for the storage unit is in this envelope,

and the key for the lock is attached to your car keys.

Please don't complicate things.

Just give me a few months to adjust

and get Melissa settled in our new place and new school

and I swear I will get in touch with you.

If you do this for me,

I swear I will never try to claim

part of your retirement pension

or ever ask you for anything again.

I'm so sorry.

You truly did deserve better than this,

but I know I couldn't do this in person.

- This is not fucking happening right now.

(gentle music)

(phone rings)

What the fuck?

Maybe her mom.

- [Voiceover] Your call has been forwarded

to an automatic voice message system.

- Your dad?

- Hey, Billy.

I just got off work, what's up?

- [Bill] Tom, I just got home.

What the hell's going on?

- Billy, I'm sorry.

I've always liked you.

You always ensure that my daughter and granddaughter

were well taken care of and I appreciate you for that.

But I have to support my daughter's decision

whether I agree with it or not.

Look, I give you my word.

I will make sure that she will not keep you from Melissa,

but you gotta give her time to sort things out.

That is, if you want that relationship with your daughter.

- Tom, this is fucking crazy, man.

What the hell is going on?

- Let me get in the car and I'll talk to you, hold on.

Billy, I told Karen that I was gonna respect her wishes

and not have any communication with you.

I felt as a fellow man and a veteran as well as a father,

you deserve better than that.

I will not be answering your calls again though.

Take care of yourself.

- Tom? Tom.

Motherfucker!

(tense music)

(gentle music)

(upbeat music)

(tense music)

(kid screams)

(kid screams)

(tense music)

- Melissa!

Melissa!

Melissa, oh my god.

Melissa.

Melissa!

Melissa.

Oh my god.

Oh my god.

Oh my god.

- [Voiceover] Unknown caller.

- Nope, not today.

- Oh my god.

- Who the fuck is this?

(tense music)

Hello?

- Billy? Karen.

Something's happened to Melissa.

- What do you mean something happened to her?

Why the hell haven't I heard from you in four months?

Where the hell are you with?

What the fuck happened to my little girl?

- I was with her at the fair

and then we went into, both into the ladies' room

and I went into the stall to pee.

And when I came out of the lady's room, she wasn't there.

And now I can't find her anywhere.

- Did you call the cops?

- I called them just before I called you.

They said it hasn't been long enough

to declare someone a missing person.

Oh my god.

- Call them back right now

and tell them you have reason to belief she was abducted.

- Do you think she was?

- There is no other logical fucking explanation, Karen.

Call them back, tell them you think she was abducted.

Where the hell are you?

- Oh my god, I got a house on the same street as my parents.

- Send me the address, I'll be there tomorrow morning.

- Okay.

Melissa!

Melissa.

- Fuck!

(tense music)

(tense music continues)

(tense music continues)

(car beeps)

(doorbell rings)

- Hi Billy.

I'm so sorry, I wanted to call and let-

- Just save your apology, okay?

Where's Karen?

- She's in the kitchen with the detectives.

- Okay.

- Hey Billy.

- Mm-hmm.

- Uncle Bill!

- Hey kiddo.

I thought I heard your voice.

- This is crazy.

What's going on?

- I don't know, sweetie.

Let me go talk to the detectives and figure it out, okay?

- Okay.

I missed you.

- I missed you too.

- And when I opened the bathroom stall, she wasn't there.

- Did you see or hear anything out of the ordinary?

Nice.

Ah, like, did you see any feet or hear any heavy footsteps

or maybe a muffled attempt of screaming?

- Well, I definitely didn't see feet.

I didn't even see Melissa's feet

when I closed the stall door.

- Honey, it's honey.

What about sounds?

- No, there was so much noise going on

with everything with the fair,

I couldn't hear anything else.

- Okay, what was she wearing?

- I have a picture of her on my phone

from about 30 minutes before this happened.

- [Detective Cooper] Could you send me that please?

- Sure.

- Okay, I got it, thank you.

Is there anything else?

Any other details that might help?

- No, nothing I can think of.

I'm sorry.

- Hey detectives.

Melissa's dad, Bill Washington.

Okay, good to meet you.

- Sorry it's under these circumstances.

- Thanks.

- Pleasure to meet you sir.

Detective Cooper.

- So I have some questions, okay?

What's the process from here?

I mean, do you guys have any leads?

Has anybody been outside of

that bathroom area looking around?

I mean, are the people from the fair,

are they still in town?

- Yes, sir.

I assure you we are doing everything we can

and being as thorough as possible,

but unfortunately we don't have any leads as of now.

- Well, can I get your business cards

and give you my number so that way

if anything comes up I can be in touch?

- Of course, sir.

- All right, thanks.

All right, and-

- [Detective Davis] Yeah, let me get your contact.

- Bill Washington, 757-555-0412.

- I assure you we're doing everything

in our power to find your daughter.

- [Bill] Okay.

- All right.

- I'll show you both out.

- [Detective Davis] We'll keep in touch.

- Billy.

I'm so sorry.

I...

- Don't fucking touch me.

I need to know everything.

Every detail, no matter how insignificant it might seem,

I need to know everything that happened.

Be as specific as possible.

- I had to pee.

So we went to the ladies' room at the back end of the park.

When we walked in, it was empty.

- You sure you were there alone?

- Yeah, Billy, I'm sure.

So I told Melissa to stand

outside the stall door while I peed.

It was really noisy because of all the rides and the music

and all the other noises from the fair outside the bathroom.

After I flushed, I opened the stall door,

but she wasn't there.

And so I walked over to the sink and I was calling her name

but she didn't answer or respond.

- Okay, so then what?

- So I ran outside the building,

and all outside the building and I was yelling for her,

but I didn't see her and she didn't answer.

So I called the police and then I called you.

- That's it?

- Yeah, that's everything.

Billy, you have to find our little girl.

- I told you don't touch me.

I'm gonna go get a hotel out in town.

- Well, Billy, you can stay here if you want to.

- Not a fucking chance.

- Billy, can you stay a minute?

- It's not gonna happen.

- Billy!

Billy, I'm sorry.

(car revs)

(tense music)

(knuckles rap)

- Hello, is anybody in here?

Hello?

(tense music)

- Hello, Detective Davis.

- Hey detective.

How you doing, this is Bill.

I'm Melissa's dad, we just met about an hour ago.

- Yeah, yes sir.

- Yeah, I'm over here outside the bathroom

at the park where she disappeared from

and I think I found a couple things that might interest you.

- Okay.

All right, we'll be right there.

- Okay, great, I'll see you soon.

Thanks.

(tense music)

- Detective.

Good to see you.

Thanks for coming.

All right, so I found a couple things

you might be interested in, okay?

We got these muddy boot prints right here

and they look like they correlate with this stuff over here.

They look to be about the same size here

as they are there, right?

So down there from there,

and then you look right down here by the tree line.

- Yeah, whoever made these tracks

was trying to get out of here quickly.

- That's exactly what I was thinking.

- I definitely think you're onto something here.

I don't see how our guys missed this.

I'll call forensics, have them come down

and process this scene, but I have to ask you to leave.

I don't want any changes made here.

- Leave?

I found the site.

- And we appreciate that, sir.

But now we need you to let us take it from here.

- What, so you can miss something else?

- I assure you we've got it from here.

- Somehow I don't think so.

- Look, you have to let us do our job,

and right now the best way to do that

is to thoroughly process this scene.

- Then fucking do it and find my daughter.

And stop letting your jackasses miss major clues like this.

- We are doing everything we can to find your daughter.

(upbeat music)

- Doubt it.

(upbeat music)

Yeah, so yeah, so then I called the detectives

and I got them down there

and I told them everything that was going on,

show 'em what I found.

- What was it?

- [Bill] I saw a guy's boot prints

going in and out of the bathroom,

so I followed them through the trees

and they ended up by a set of tire tracks.

- [Karen] Did you call the detectives?

- [Bill] Yeah, I called them out there

to show them everything.

But I'm gonna keep looking for it myself too.

I don't think these detectives

or their team can find their way

out of a supermarket with a GPS.

- What are you looking at?

(tense music)

(hiker screams)

- [Hiker] Yeah, it's just, I just feel really bad.

- Where's the glove?

- [Hiker] I didn't see anything.

- What do we got?

- Ah, six-year-old, possibly female.

Looks like she might have been molested.

Think this might be her.

- Ah geez.

All right, zip it up.

- [Investigator] Yes sir.

- Oh boy.

Who found the body?

- I did, sir.

- [Detective Davis] And what did you see from the walk path?

- All I saw was the shoe.

Shoe was what drew me in.

I walked over to the woods line and I picked it up.

- And did you touch anything else that was in there?

- No, sir.

- And did anybody else touch anything?

- No sir. - Okay.

- So the shoe was at the edge of the woods?

- Yes, sir.

- Could you see the body into the woods

from where the shoe was at?

- No sir, I had to go into the woods.

Once I walked into the woods,

I got to where the stick in the hill is.

I stopped and I saw it.

- Was there anybody else around when you guys

were walking down this way?

- No ma'am. - No.

- And how long were you guys in the area

before you found the body?

- Give or take, 20, 30 minutes.

- Yeah.

- [Detective Davis] Okay, during that time,

did you hear any screams?

- No. - No sir, just me.

- [Detective Davis] No wrestling like a struggle?

- No sir.

- All right, we'll be in contact.

- Well.

Pretty good.

- It's not gonna be good.

- Yeah.

(tense music)

- Oh my god, my baby. (cries)

- Gonna give you guys some time with her.

- Oh no.

- She was found by some teenagers walking near the woods.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Please be rest assured we're gonna do

everything in our power to find the bastard who did this.

- We're hoping that there are traces of DNA that we can use.

- Why would there be DNA?

- Wait, are you telling me

that whoever killed my little girl molested her first?

- Unfortunately, sir, it appears so.

- What kind of monster would do this?

- The kind that we're gonna get off the street

so it can never do it again.

(Karen cries)

(somber music)

- Billy.

Billy, would you let me talk?

- No!

I don't wanna talk to you.

You had the chance to talk before you left.

We could have discussed things and worked it out

or ended it in a better way,

but it was easier for you

to just take my little girl and leave.

You're the reason you came to this town.

You're the reason she got abducted and raped and killed.

You were too much of a coward to face me.

So no, you can't talk to me.

Matter of fact, don't ever talk to me again.

- Billy.

I'm sorry, I don't know what else to do.

God damn it, Billy.

I lost my baby too.

(somber music)

(knuckles rap)

(knuckles rap)

- [Bill's Mom] Billy.

Billy, hello.

(knuckles rap)

- All right, I'm coming.

- [Bill's Mom] Come on.

- [Bill's Sister] Oh my god, where have you been?

- [Bill's Mom] What in the world?

- [Bill's Sister] Do you know how worried we've been?

- [Bill's Mom] You didn't answer the phone.

- [Bill's Sister] What is that smell?

- Oh it's your brother.

I mean, you look dead in here.

I could not believe it.

It's unbelievable.

What in the hell is wrong with you?

Why can't you answer a phone?

- We have been calling you for weeks.

- You left the funeral without saying a word.

Who in the hell does that?

- I don't know, ma.

Maybe somebody that just buried his little girl?

- [Bill's Sister] Billy, I'm so sorry.

I don't know what to say.

- Honey, honey.

Oh honey.

You stink.

Go in and wash your ass

and clean up whatever died on your face.

- Okay, mom.

All right.

- No, no, no, no, no, no.

We're not doing that.

- [Bill's Sister] Seriously.

- [Bill's Mom] Sweetie, thank you.

Can you help me clean up this room?

We'll be over here to clean up after Billy.

(upbeat music)

(gentle music)

Billy.

What's this?

- I want her to have a room to come home to

if I ever gotta see her again.

(gentle music)

My life is never gonna be the same.

- Billy, you have to keep going.

You're the uncle's hero.

- If I was a hero, I would've found her

before it was too late.

- Honey, you're not being fair to yourself.

- She was the best thing I had in this world.

And now she's gone.

I don't know what I'm gonna do.

(somber music)

Hello.

- Mr. Washington.

Hello, this is Detective Davis.

- What can I do for you?

- I've got good news.

We found your daughter's killer.

- That's great.

- We were able to tell which direction he went

based on tire tracks and footprints at the scene.

We pulled video surveillance from surrounding businesses.

Eventually we were able to match a license plate

with tire tracks at the scene.

So with this and other supporting evidence,

we're confident we got the right guy.

- Thanks for the call.

I could be there in a few days.

When's he being arraigned?

- Next Wednesday.

- Great, I'll see you then.

They found the killer.

(upbeat music)

- Good evening.

A convicted killer of a local girl face sentencing today.

Let's go live to the court.

(crowd clamors)

(reporters clamor)

- I feel like this sentence

was a slap in my daughter's face.

Justice was definitely not served today.

Child killers and child molesters

should spend their life behind bars and die there,

not get plea deals.

I don't know who allows something like this to go through.

This is an abomination of justice.

Excuse me.

(reporters clamor)

- [Interviewer] Hello ma'am, is it okay

if we interview you today?

Awesome, so what brings you here today?

- Billy.

Billy.

- What?

Okay, what?

I'll give you five minutes, go.

Exactly.

- Hey, my man.

I just watched what happened in there.

Can we talk for a minute?

- That depends on who's asking.

- Well, I'm not a reporter.

My name's Steve.

What I'm doing, I'm actually a representative

for a support group of fathers and we've all lost our kids

to similar circumstances to yours.

- Steve, I appreciate what you're trying to do,

but this is something I'm gonna have to handle on my own.

- Well, let me just tell you one thing.

I thought the same thing.

And then a couple years ago,

my brother actually stopped me from killing myself.

Can you at least do me one favor?

If you change your mind, give me a call, please.

- Yeah, thanks Steve.

- All right, appreciate it.

Stay strong, brother.

(upbeat music)

- Hi.

I'm sorry, is anybody sitting here?

- You are.

- Thank you.

Oh, I did not want to stay in my apartment

all night by myself.

So I guess I'm out making a new friend.

- And I'm doing pretty much the exact same thing.

- I'm Natasha.

- Bill.

- Can I buy you another drink?

- Yeah, you can buy me a drink.

- [Server] Good evening, how can I help you?

- Yes, I would like a dirty martini

and another round of whatever he's having.

- Okay, sounds like a plan.

I'll be right back.

- [Natasha] So Bill, what do you do?

- I'm retired.

- Retired from?

- I was in the Navy for 26 years.

- Oh.

- Here you are.

- Perfect, thank you.

- [Server] My pleasure, here you are.

- Thank you.

Let me help you out.

Thank you again for your service.

- Thanks for the drink.

- Cheers.

- Can I get you another round?

- Actually, I think we're ready to get out of here.

- Okay, well I wish you a wonderful evening this week.

- [Natasha] Thank you.

- [Server] Take care.

- [Bill] Thanks, you too.

- Are you ready to get out of here?

- Yeah, we can get out of here.

(customer chatter indistinctly)

(cheerful music)

- Come on in.

Make yourself at home.

- It's a nice place.

It's really cozy.

- Thank you.

Sometimes this is what starting out looks like.

It's been kind of complicated.

(cheerful music)

Bill, do you think you could come help me

with my two buttons?

- Sure can.

(cheerful music)

Melissa.

(Natasha groans)

- It's so early.

Where are you going?

- I gotta go.

I got a lot of stuff going on that I gotta do.

- You don't have someone you have to rush home to, do you?

Like a wife?

- No, I'm divorced.

- Well, if you don't mind me asking, who is Melissa?

You were yelling her name out last night.

- Melissa was my daughter.

- I'm sorry.

- It's okay.

You have no way of knowing.

I really do have a lot of stuff going on though, I gotta go.

- Well, I had fun.

Do you think maybe we could do it again sometime?

- Yeah.

I know where to find you.

Take care.

(tense music)

(doorbell rings)

- Hey Bill, remember who I am?

- You're...

You're from that support group.

You're Steve, right?

- Yeah, that's me.

These a couple of guys from the support group.

This over here is Mike, this is our guy Chris over here.

- Hey Bill, how are you?

(Bill laughs)

- I'm fine man.

- We're on our way to this week's group meeting.

Think you might wanna check it out?

- No man, I'm fine.

I don't need a support group, man.

- Bill.

Whoa.

You remember that story I told you

about my brother and me from a few years ago, don't you?

- How'd you find my house?

- Man, honestly, it's not that hard.

Quick little internet search of county records,

pop right up.

And honestly, you are a topic of discussion

in this last week's support group.

Bill, brother, how are you doing?

- Told you, I'm fine.

- Oh.

- Based on that, look on your face,

that gun in your waistband, that booze on your breath,

you really could use some support right now.

- It's gotta be better than

what you're thinking about doing right now.

- Bill, man to man, come with us to group tonight.

If you decide it's not for you, fine.

We'll be out your life forever

and I guarantee you'll never see us again.

(Bill sighs)

- All right you guys come on and let me go get changed.

- All right, thank you brother.

Come on guys.

- Hey fellas.

This here is Bill.

- Hey Bill. - Hey Bill.

- Hey Bill. - Hey Bill.

- And guys.

Since Bill's new to the group,

I was wondering if some of you guys

would like to share your stories with him.

- Hi, I'm Joe.

- Hey Joe. - Hey Joe.

- About 10 years ago,

my 12-year-old son

was molested by a grown ass man.

After about two years of therapy,

he couldn't take it anymore.

He hung himself.

That rotten bastard only served six years.

Yeah, he got arrested as a sex offender, but that's it.

He gets to roam the streets freely

while my son is gone.

- Hi, I'm David.

- Hi David. - Hi David.

- My little girl's been missing about seven years now.

We still haven't found her.

Based on the crime scene where she was taken from,

they presumed her dead.

They have a guy in custody,

but the DNA that linked him to her at the crime scene

was mishandled by someone at the DA's office

and he got off on a technicality.

I don't know exactly what happened.

I know that bastard's guilty.

- Hey everybody, I'm John.

- Hey, John. - Hey, John.

- So my daughter went missing when she was 12.

She was later found based on an anonymous tip.

She was found with all her teeth missing,

bound to a chair, beaten, bloody, and bruised.

In the medical examiner's office,

they found three traces of his semen in her and on her.

One of the men, pieces of shit,

he's still rotting in jail,

but he gets out this year.

The other two,

they're identified but never caught.

And my daughter has been in the mental asylum

ever since it happened.

My daughter screams if a man gets within six feet of her.

I mean, just fucking screams.

And I'm her father.

Her own father, and I can't remember

the last time I gave her a proper hug.

And now they got her on so many different medications

she walks around like a fucking zombie.

But I've had enough

and it's not doing anything for me anymore.

- Hi, I'm Phil.

- Hey, Phil. - Hey, Phil.

- My son was found dead.

He had been beaten.

- Easier for you to just take my little girl and leave.

You're the reason she got abducted and raped and killed.

You were too much of a coward to face me.

- Hey Bill.

Would you like to share your story with the guys?

- Yeah.

So my little girl was kidnapped and molested and murdered.

And yeah, they got the guy and he's in prison,

but he got a light sentence.

He only got charged with the kidnapping,

not the molestation, not the murder,

because they gave him a fucking plea deal.

You know, Steve, I'm not gonna lie,

when you and Mike and Chris came to my house earlier,

I really was sitting there thinking about

blowing my fucking brains out.

But not anymore.

Now all I could think about is revenge.

It's like like I'm filled with rage

and I got this fucking demon inside of me.

And all I can think about is revenge.

So you guys can sit around

and tell your sad stories, cry,

and do whatever makes you feel better, but not me.

I appreciate the invite guys, but I can't do this shit.

I'm out of here.

- Bill, Bill, wait up.

Listen, I've been dreaming of catching

these other two motherfuckers and killing them

for what they did to my little girl.

- Is that so?

- I was gonna say something in there

in front of the other men,

but I don't know how they take it,

but you seem like the kind of guy

that just says what's on his mind.

- No, I don't like to sugarcoat shit.

Just had an idea.

Can I get a ride home and we talk on the way there?

- Absolutely.

(gentle music)

It makes it so much easier.

(gentle music)

- Bill.

(gentle music)

Give me a second, brother.

Bill, brother, are you okay?

- Yeah, man, I'm good.

So look, I really appreciate the invite,

but I can't sit around in the circle

and just talk about this shit, all right?

But I promise you I'm fine.

You don't have to worry about me hurting myself, all right?

I'm just gonna focus on getting revenge for my little girl.

- Hell yeah, that's what I want to do.

- Hey, you guys ever been hunting?

- Hell yeah, I hunt.

I've been a few times.

- I guess I'm officially the bitch of the group.

I ain't never been hunting.

- That's all right.

Here's what I want you to do.

Invite all the dads.

Tell 'em I want to take 'em on a hunting trip.

If they need to learn how to shoot, I'll set up a range day.

I'll coach 'em all, that'll be fine.

- So now you're a shooting instructor also?

- You could say that, and I got a friend

who's even better than me.

I'll see you guys soon.

- All right, see you soon.

(tense music)

(suspenseful music)

(suspenseful music continues)

- [Steve] Well, did you ever watch Snoop doing,

Snoop Dogg doing Animal Planet?

- [Dad] Nah.

- [Steve] Oh god, it's hilarious man.

- Hey guys.

- What's up buddy? - Hey Bill.

- [Steve] How you doing?

- So I brought a few rifles with me today,

and this is my bro Robbie.

- Hey Robbie.

- Hey, what's up guys?

- Hey, what's up Robbie?

- Heard you wanna learn how to shoot.

- Oh yeah man, please.

- Robbie.

- I got you guys, I'll see up on the line.

- All right.

- I'm definitely gonna need as much help I can get.

- Got you.

- Somebody give me a hand with this?

- Yeah, I got you.

- Whoa.

- So I get the big one?

- Really left out with nothing, Phil.

- Oh Jesus.

- How's everything going today?

- I'm not gonna lie, I'm a little nervous.

I ain't never shot a gun before.

- No, it'll be all right.

Great shots up and told him I'm a pretty good teacher.

And Robbie's even better than I am.

- So what is it you do?

- I'm retired.

- Aren't you a little bit young to be retired?

What did you do?

- I was in the Navy for 26 years.

- Okay, let me rephrase the question.

What did you do in the Navy?

- I don't like to talk about it.

Robbie doesn't talk about it.

- Okay.

- All right, today on the range guys,

we're gonna follow the four gun safety rules.

We're gonna treat every gun as if it's loaded at all times.

You're gonna keep your finger straight

and off the trigger until you're ready to fire.

You're going to never point your firearm at anything

you are not okay destroying.

You're gonna know your target

and what's between and beyond you.

We've got targets out to 1,000 yards out here.

So you're gonna make sure

nothing's popping out in between for you.

This is our firing line today

and our range fans are from that left firm right there

to that 200 yard right firm.

Everybody got it?

- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.

- [Robbie] All right, let's unload the gear.

- [Dad] Yes sir, all right.

(tense music)

(tense music continues)

(stapler clicks)

(tense music)

(gun bangs)

(tense music)

- Wish I could do that to some certain son of a bitch.

- Hell yeah, me too.

- Shit, just give me a clear shot.

- Okay guys.

Whoever wants to go hunting,

5:00 AM Saturday morning.

Just show up.

- [Mike] Yeah.

- Got it.

- Hell yeah.

(upbeat music)

- I don't care what I do.

- The ribs smell great, man.

- I can't wait to eat, bro.

- Bill said he had like 10 racks on there.

We're gonna get fulled out.

- Does anybody know if Bill can cook?

- Don't worry about it, we still like you, bro. (laughs)

- That's what he said to me.

He just put a whole pig on.

He just put a whole pig on the grill.

- Oh shit.

- Looks me the devil.

- Yesterday was awesome.

That boar was huge.

- I thought it was cool.

- Dude, I honestly believe it was gonna be harder.

That shit was surprisingly easy.

- I still can't believe me and Bill missed our shot.

- Me and Joe didn't get anything either.

- Tell you what though.

The win that you guys did catch, that was a monster.

- Yeah, that shit scary as hell.

I ain't gonna lie, the first time doing that crazy shit.

- Bill, thank you for cooking, brother.

- Yeah bro. - Thank you.

- Yeah.

- Hey guys, so I've been doing some thinking

and I have a plan.

It's not exactly legal.

So if you're not willing to do something illegal

to get revenge for your kid, you should probably go.

If you're willing to do whatever it takes to get revenge

and get justice, you should probably stay.

I'll be right back.

Y'all go get something to eat.

- How the hell are we supposed to think about eating

some shit like that?

- I'm going to eat though.

Hey.

- We've been good doing so far.

Let's see what he has here.

- Hoo-wee.

Oh, this is perfect.

- I'm just trying to understand where the seasoning at.

(dads laugh)

- We gotta kill the shop.

- Hey guys.

So I feel like I can trust you all.

I had an idea.

Take these, pass these around.

Done a little research.

What you have is every piece of information you need.

Photos, addresses, work addresses, schedules,

everything you could possibly think of.

What I'm offering you is a chance to get even.

To put a bullet in the head of the motherfucker

that took your kid.

- Brother, you're talking about murder.

- What are you going on about?

He's not talking about murder, he's talking about justice.

- None of these motherfuckers cared about our kids.

Why should we care about them?

- Are we serious right now?

- What if we get caught?

- You won't get caught.

I already built a rifle that's untraceable.

I'll go with you every step of the way

to take care of business.

- Dude, what the fuck did you do in the Navy?

- Whatever they needed me to do.

- So you're saying you're gonna help us and go with us?

- Yeah, I'll go with each of you.

- Fuck it.

I'm in.

- I'm in.

- Me too.

- Fuck it, I'm in.

- I'm in.

- I'm in.

- What do you say, Steve?

- You know what?

He already took everything else from me.

I ain't got nothing to lose.

I'm in.

Let's do this. - All right.

We're doing this, guys.

- Let's do it.

- All right. - Oh yeah.

- All right, who wants to take the first shot?

126 yards to target.

- 126, got it.

- Wind, two miles an hour out of the east.

- Wind, two miles out of the east.

(tense music)

- Hey, Bill.

- Yeah, what's up?

- I don't know about this, man.

It's murder.

- I get it.

It's never easy.

- That's what I'm saying.

I've never done any shit like this before.

- Well, the first one's always the hardest.

I just really hope you never have to do it again.

- The first one?

How many people have you killed?

- Only as many as I had to.

- Navy guys, there's some crazy one.

This motherfucker's watching child porn.

(gun bangs)

- Got him, clean shot.

Let's get the hell out of here.

(tense music)

- Holy shit, I did it.

As soon as I saw what he was doing,

there was no doubt in my mind he'd hurt another kid.

And so I pulled the trigger.

- [Bill] Yeah, and he'll never hurt anybody again.

- Fuck, let's get out of here, man.

- Fuck yeah dude, let's go.

(upbeat music)

- A local man was found dead in his apartment this morning

in what looked to be a sniper style killing.

The name of the victim has not been released yet.

But our sources report that

the victim was a convicted sex offender

and authorities found questionable material

on multiple electronic devices.

- Well, if that is true, that is one crazy dose of karma.

(tense music)

- Hopefully I got this guy's schedule right

so we get out of the rain.

Should see him in that front window any minute.

- Front window, got it.

How'd you find this guy anyway?

- [Bill] Did some research.

- I've been fantasizing about killing this fucker for years.

- Yeah, now you get your chance.

- Tell me something, Bill, you think I'm wrong for this?

Like, why should he get to live when he killed my son?

- You okay, man?

- I will be when this piece of shit is dead.

- All right.

Think that's him, 102 yards.

- 102 yards.

Got it.

- [Bill] Ready?

- I'm ready.

I really wanna cause this motherfucker pain.

Please let me shoot him in the dick.

- No, man, they all gotta look the same.

One shot, one kill.

- I know, man, I just want him to suffer.

- Whenever you're ready.

- This is for you, son.

I love you.

(gun bangs)

- Got him, clean shot.

(upbeat music)

- Police discovered what seems to be

two more sniper victims.

According to authorities, 56-year-old James Smith

and David Gray were both found dead this morning

from single gunshot wounds to the head.

They were on opposite sides of town.

This could very well be the work of a serial killer.

- Smith, as you may remember, was convicted 10 years ago

for unlawful sexual contact with a 12-year-old boy

who later committed suicide over the ordeal.

Similarly, Gray had served a 10-year sentence

for molestation of a young girl.

- I do remember those cases.

So sad, such a shame.

- Yes, very sad.

Next up, are you overpaying

for home air conditioning repairs?

The truth may shock you.

(tense music)

- [John] Can I ask you something?

- [Bill] Sure.

- [John] All bullshit aside,

how many people have you killed?

- [Bill] Man, I really don't like to talk about it.

- [John] Forget about it.

It's stupid of me to even ask.

I know these guys like to talk about

all their supposed badass shit that they've done,

and most of them are full of shit.

But you, you don't like to talk about these things

and you just have this way of making it all seem so natural.

- Well, it's simple.

When it comes time to do it,

you got yourself and you got some guy

and his job's to kill you.

You have two choices.

You either kill him first

and you come home to your family in one piece,

or he kills you first and you come home in a box.

So to me, that's a fucking no-brainer, dude.

I'm coming home to my family every time.

I'm gonna take him out first.

So can we just leave it at, I only killed who I had to?

- Forget I ever mentioned it.

(tense music)

Here he comes.

I'm ready to drop this motherfucker.

- Okay, you've got 180 yards.

- 180, got it.

- And wind, five miles an hour from the west.

- Adjusting for wind, all set.

Ready?

- And send it.

- I'm clocking out for the last time.

(gun bangs)

- Got him, good shot.

Let's get out here.

(groovy music)

- [Dad] You always got the one liner, man.

Hey.

- Hey, here we go.

All right.

- Who ordered that?

- Hey Bill, thank you for helping all of us.

- Hey guys.

To our kids.

- To our kids. - To our kids.

- To our kids.

- You guy, excuse me for a second.

(customers chatter indistinctly)

Excuse me.

Shit. - Billy.

You look great, how are you?

- Can you please not fucking talk to me anymore?

- Billy.

- Hey guys, I gotta go.

My fucking ex is here.

I can't deal with that shit right now.

- What?

Yo, bro, you can't dip on us.

- Damn bro.

- [Dad] It's that bad?

- All right guys.

I'm really sorry, but I can't deal with her.

This should cover my last drink.

I appreciate you guys.

Yeah, I'm good.

I just gotta get the hell out of here.

I can't deal with her.

Oh, hello.

It's been a while.

- It has been.

- You just get here?

- I did.

- How about we go somewhere else and get a drink?

- Well, I'm just drinking water tonight,

but I'd like that.

- Okay, yeah, let's go.

(groovy music)

- So what the hell took you so long to find me?

- I've just been really busy lately.

- Yeah, like with what?

- So there's a lot of personal wrongs

in my life that I've been trying to make right, you know?

But since you don't wanna go somewhere else for a drink,

how about I at least give you a ride home?

- Sure.

(car revs)

(gentle music)

- So what's on your mind?

- Nothing, I'm good.

- Yeah, right.

You're so full of shit. (chuckles)

Tell me, what's going on in that head of yours, Bill?

- Do you remember that little girl in the news last year

that was raped and murdered?

- Yeah, that poor little girl.

That was terrible.

- That was my daughter Melissa.

- Oh my god.

I'm so sorry.

- It's just, when I was on my last deployment

before I retired, I came home

and my ex used power of attorney.

She divorced me, took custody of Melissa, sold the house,

sold all the holdings, and she skipped town.

When everything happened,

it had been over a year since I had seen her.

I didn't know the last time I saw her

was gonna be the last time I ever saw her, you know?

- I don't know how you still function every day.

- I'm getting revenge and justice for her,

kind of keeps me moving.

- I'm so sorry.

I don't know what to say.

- You don't have to say anything.

But you do have to let me get up and go pee.

- Okay.

You go pee.

- All right.

(tense music)

Hey, so I gotta go,

but can we maybe trade numbers this time?

- Yeah, that's a great idea.

I don't want it to go too long

before we see each other again.

- Yeah, agreed.

Got it.

All right.

(somber music)

(phone dings)

(upbeat music)

(doorbell rings)

Hey, good morning.

- [Natasha] Good morning.

- Come on in.

Your timing is perfect.

I'm almost done making breakfast right now.

- Smells good.

I love your place.

I don't know what I was expecting, but this is great.

- Thanks, have a seat.

Can I get you something to drink?

- Just ice water.

- Okay.

- Thank you.

I didn't know you could cook.

This looks great.

- Well dig in, I hope you like it.

(water splashes)

You all done?

- Yeah, thank you.

- There's two things I have to tell you.

First, breakfast was amazing, so thank you for that.

Second...

- Does the second thing have anything to do with

that positive pregnancy test

I saw in your trash can last night?

- Yes, that's it.

The thing about that is, you are the only person

that I've been with since I was last with my ex.

The night we met, I had seen him out before

with the exact person that I had suspected of him

cheating on me with.

And I was frustrated, I started drinking,

and then I met you.

And I just figured why not?

- It's okay.

Am I gonna be involved?

- You see, this is it.

It's like you're not planning anything.

You don't have any other concerns or questions.

- Why would I question you?

You've never given me a reason to doubt you.

You know, I could really be a part of this kid's life.

- Hold that thought.

Where's your restroom?

- It's over there on the right.

(tense music)

- Look, Bill, the truth is,

I've thought about this a lot

and I don't know if I want you in this child's life.

Hear me out.

You're a complete mess

and anyone would be, given what you've been through.

But the reality here is I'm about to be a mother

and you have a lot of work to do

before you're ready to be a father again.

- I don't understand what you mean.

- I always knew you had some deep rooted issues,

but after last night, I didn't know how bad they were

until you told me about Melissa

and what really happened to her.

You've got some serious demons to work out.

- Well, if I can't be there, how can I help?

- At this point, I don't need anything.

I can make do.

I always have.

I just felt like you deserve to know.

And maybe someday when you've worked through your shit,

we can revisit the subject.

But for now, I'm gonna go.

- All right, I'll walk you out.

Let me get that for you.

- Take care of yourself, Bill.

- Let me know if I can help, okay?

- I know where to find you if I need you.

- All right.

(tense music)

- [Police Officer] Don't have to listen to her nagging.

Catch my fish.

(car beeps)

- [Police Officer] So get your retirement papers done yet?

- [Police Officer] Nah man, what about you?

- So much overtime, you're killing me.

- Excuse me, officers.

Officers.

- Get down.

- [Bill] I'm here to turn myself in.

- [Police Officer] Get on the ground.

- [Police Officer] Get on the ground.

- [Police Officer] Keep your hands where we can see 'em.

- I'm the man responsible for the deaths

of the child molesters on the news.

- What's going on?

(tense music)

- Fire the cuffs.

Your other hand.

Let's do it.

- All right, let's go.

You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can and will be used against you

in a court of law.

You have the right to an attorney.

If you can't afford one, one will be provided for you.

- So where'd you get the rifle from?

- [Police Officer] What murders are you here to confess to?

- How many people have you killed?

- Look, my man, like you made too much

of a dramatic entrance to come in here

and keep your mouth shut.

You said you wanted to confess to some murders, right?

Use your words.

- Okay, super cop.

Get Detective Davis in here like I asked,

or get me my attorney.

And while you're at it, I'd like some water.

- So what do we got, guys?

- [Detective Davis] Oh shit, I know this guy.

That's the father of that little girl

that was raped and murdered.

- Well, it looked like he snapped.

- [Detective Davis] Huh?

- Apparently he's here to confess to some murders.

- He's all yours.

- Hey there, Bill.

You know, I'd ask you how you're doing,

but apparently you've been killing people.

You know, most people we bring in here,

we gotta drag a confession out of them.

You, you just gave it to us.

I don't know if I should thank you or pity you.

- Well, if your DA wasn't soft as baby shit

and giving plea deals to child molesters and murderers,

we wouldn't fucking be here, would we?

- Yeah, well, the system is flawed.

It is the way it is.

- Well listen up 'cause I'm gonna say this one time.

I built that rifle,

so you're not gonna trace it to anything.

All those pedophile pieces of shit

that you saw on the news that are dead,

I killed 'em all.

I did it alone, I acted by myself, nobody else was involved.

It's all on me.

- Okay, well, is that it?

- Yeah.

Now I want to talk to my lawyer.

- All right, well, I'll get your lawyer.

Nice talking with you, Bill.

Oh boy.

He's a piece of work.

I think I'll get his lawyer.

- [Aaron] Hi.

Brian, is it?

- Bill.

- Oh, I'm sorry, I'm not very good with names.

My name is Aaron Jones and I've been appointed

by the court as your public defender.

- It's nice to meet you, thanks for coming.

By the way, their camera's still rolling.

- Wouldn't you just hate to get a mistrial

for violating my client's rights

by recording conversation between him and his attorney?

Okay.

- Okay, Aaron is it?

- Yes, yes sir.

All right, go ahead, Brian.

(table bangs)

- It's Bill.

- I'm so sorry. Sorry.

Go ahead, Bill.

- Right, so here's the deal.

All those pedophiles you've seen in the news lately

that were killed, I killed 'em all.

I'm gonna plead guilty in court.

Did it all by myself.

One of them killed my little girl.

- Oh.

I'm so sorry to hear that.

But I don't understand.

If you're going to plead guilty, then why ask for a lawyer?

- Need a couple favors.

I have a few affairs on the outside

that I have to tie up some loose ends with.

And I need your help.

I need attorney client privilege.

- What do you need me to do?

- I'm glad you asked.

- Hey man, they call me Slim.

- Bill.

- Oh my guy, today's your lucky day, man.

- Yeah?

Why is that?

- Well, I'm the man to know if you need anything.

- Is that so?

- Oh yeah.

- Okay, Slim, maybe you can do something for me.

- Hmm.

What's that?

- I'm looking for somebody.

Goes by the name of Tommy T.

- Tommy T, Tommy T.

Oh, I know him.

That crazy looking motherfucker.

I don't know where he's at now,

but I can find him for you.

Since you're the new guy here,

that pudding cup that you get for child,

(speaks in foreign language), mine.

- Deal.

- They're just doing business.

(tense music)

- [Jail Officer] Stop your lying.

Let's go.

(tense music)

- Excuse me guys.

- We heard you're looking for Tommy T.

- [Inmate] Yeah, what do you want with him?

- Only cops ask questions I'm gonna find somebody.

You the fucking cop, bro?

- Nah man, I ain't no cop, man.

- Yeah, yeah.

- Me and him just got some unfinished business, that's all.

- That's not a good enough answer.

Nothing goes down in here without me giving the green light.

- Better start talking, motherfucker.

- Well, you know why he's in here, right?

- Yeah, he in for kidnapping.

- [Bill] No, that ain't all.

Y'all must not have checked his paperwork.

- Nah, we've seen the paperwork.

Seen what's on it.

What you trying to say?

- He's a fucking chomo.

He kidnapped my little girl,

he raped her and he killed her.

I got myself locked up in here so I can get revenge.

- No, man, we ain't know nothing about all that.

I have zero loyalty to a chomo.

I mean, y'all boys slide out his way.

Go ahead and do what you gotta do.

He on the other side of the yard.

- Appreciate it.

- Hey, whatever you gotta do, make it quick.

- Natasha, I'm sorry that

I will never get to be a part of our child's life.

You were right though.

I'm a complete mess and I'm totally fucked up.

Not a day has gone by since losing my daughter

that I haven't dreamt of the day

that I can kill the bastard that took her from me.

Hey man.

Can I get one of those cigarettes?

- Yeah.

- Appreciate it.

- [Tommy T] No problem.

- Hey, you ever get that feeling like

you met somebody somewhere before?

- [Tommy T] It happens sometimes.

- By the time you read this, I'll have gotten my revenge.

I'm trying to think of where I know you from.

- Hey fellas.

We got a letter from Bill.

Okay, let's see what we got here.

Okay.

- I know what it is.

Do you remember a little girl named Melissa?

- It says, "I got 'em all and I confess to it.

Justice has been served for all of our children."

- She was a sweet little girl.

- And now he's gonna get the justice

for his little girl as well.

He's exactly where he wants to be

and this has been his plan all along.

He's asking us not to try to help him,

and we need to all move on with our lives as best we can.

- That crafty motherfucker did it.

Let's get the hell out of here.

- Besides this letter, you'll also find

the keys for my car and my house,

which I've legally signed over to you.

It's probably the only way I can provide for you

and our child with a home that's already paid for.

I also opened up a bank account in your name with some money

to help you for the next couple of years

and a trust for our child that will cover college.

Take care of yourself and our baby, Bill.

- [Jail Officer] Hands up!

Hands behind your back.

On your feet.

- Hands behind your back, on your feet.

- Let's go.

(tense music)

(upbeat music)

- In today's news, a local man who was recently imprisoned

after confessing to the recent string of killings

involving sex offenders is heading back to court

for killing a fellow inmate.

- Bill Washington was sent to the same prison as the man

who took a plea deal for kidnapping his daughter.

- Sources say that the two inmates

were in a brief conversation

that quickly became an altercation

that ended in Washington defending himself

against the man that took his daughter's life.

- Additional sources say that Washington

may not even be the gunman

that took the lives of the recent victims.

Additional footage has surfaced of him finding the rifle

that was used in those killings in a dumpster.
