All language subtitles for Episode 04 Madness on the Lake

There was people
that just couldn't believe

something like this would
go on in bayview.

Horrific.
Horrific scene.

This is not...

Something
anyone should ever see.

Nestled just outside
the Canadian border,

the community of bayview, Idaho,

is about 500 miles north
of its state capital, Boise.

Bayview is an idyllic
lakeside community

surrounded by Idaho's
largest state park

and national forest
on the other side.

I like the quiet,
peaceful coziness of bayview.

The people are so sweet
and wonderful and kind,

and everybody knows your name.

And it's just that kind of cozy,
comfy little neighborhood.

And, of course,
the lake is so beautiful.

Summertime attracts
tourists who boat, fish, and relax

in the rugged natural beauty
of lake pend oreille.

But as fall approaches
and the vacationers go home,

bayview becomes a ghost town.

Bayview's quite quiet
in the off season.

The snowbirds leave,

the float home
and boat people go,

and it's a pretty
quiet community.

A community with
only 500 year-round residents,

including 55-year-old
Yvonne Wallis.

I liked Yvonne
the moment I saw her.

She was such a friendly lady,
good-hearted soul.

Somebody's moving
into the old peabody house.

Looks like a nice
young family.

Yeah.

Maybe we should have them
over for a cookout.

After an injury ended
her career as a hairdresser,

Yvonne relies more and more

on her daughter-in-law
and caregiver, Patty.

A cookout would be nice.

Give me someone new
to chat with.

I didn't mean it like that.

Patty was a very friendly,
outgoing, nice lady

who was always wanting

to make friends
with everybody she met.

You're wonderful.

I just miss the beauty shop

and all the ladies and...

You miss the gossip.

You know you shouldn't
be standing...

Yvonne and Patty
were very, very close.

Patty was the glue
that held the family together.

Patty and Yvonne
are always eager

to welcome new neighbors
into the fold --

including the family
of 28-year-old Larry cragun.

Larry's house was across
the street from Yvonne's house.

This one says "linens".

What do you think,
in the bedroom or a closet?

Um, that's a good question.

Just set it in the hall
for now, okay?

He seemed like
the friendliest guy

you'd ever want to meet.

His wife was a sweet,
little gal,

and he had a beautiful,
little baby girl.

My goodness.
That view.

I told you
it was something.

Can we go swimming?

Once it stops raining.

I wouldn't do that
if I were you.

It's glacier water.

It doesn't get more
than 50 degrees year-round.

I've seen grown men cramp up
and drown in minutes.

The lake can be very dangerous.

It can go from a placid,
mirrored pool to a torrent.

We call life jackets
"body recovery devices"

'cause, generally,
unless somebody's right there,

you don't last long
in that lake.

I'm sorry, you are?

I'm sorry.
I'm Deborah.

I live in the green house
down the hill.

Your door was open.

Welcome to the neighborhood.

Thank you, Deborah.
It's nice to meet you.

I'm Larry cragun.

This is my wife, Katie,
and our daughter, Emma.

I didn't mean to scare you.
I just thought you should know.

Well, come on, Emma,
we should probably

just bring these
to the kitchen, right?

Thank you, Deborah.

It was a pleasure
meeting you.

You, too.

Well, Deborah,

I should probably be
getting back to work, as well.

I know the way out.
See you around.

Okay.

It's not long
before the craguns

meet Yvonne Wallis'
extended family,

including her son, Mike Heath,

who's currently looking
for work.

Need some help?

Yeah, sure.
Give me a hand.

So, Patty tells me you got
a job down at the Marina.

How's it going?

Yeah,
it's -- it's good.

That bad?

Larry came to town to work
for one of the marinas

as a dock guy
taking care of the tourists.

It's just slow,
to be honest, Mike.

You know, we moved up here
for the peace and quiet,

but I think I'm starting to go
a little stir-crazy.

Well,
that certainly can happen,

but at least
you got your family.

And I'll bet you that little one
keeps you running around, too.

Yeah, she's the best.

Yeah.

Jed at that age,
I'm telling you,

when you put it --
speak of the devil.

Mom said
to bring you these.

That's why I married her.

This is my son, jed.
Jed, Larry cragun.

-Hey, jed, nice to meet you.
-Hi. Good grip.

You must work out.
-I try to lift some.

That's great.

I'm setting up
a bench press outside,

some free weights.

You should come down.

Yeah, that sounds great.

Jed was a construction worker,

and he seemed
to be family oriented.

And you don't always see that
with guys his age.

To new neighbors.

-Cheers.
-Cheers.

To new neighbors.

What are you doing?

Are you trying
to upset our neighbors?

Katie, we're in
the middle on nowhere.

Yeah, well, somebody's
gonna call the cops.

Let them.

It's gonna be Christmas
before a car comes out here.

Sound carries really far
across that lake.

I just turned it down,
okay?

Any time you get out
in a rural area,

you have to have
good relationships

with your neighbors

because whether it be
for a law enforcement

or medical emergency,

it can be a considerable time
before help gets there.

After the move to bayview,

cracks begin to show
in Larry and Katie's marriage.

Larry cragun starts
spending time

at the local watering hole.

-Hi.
-Hey, there.

What you having?

Whatever's on tap
is fine.

-Pilsner good?
-Yeah, it's great.

Okay.

Is it always so busy?

You must be new to town.

Been here about a month.

I'm Larry.

Here you go, Larry.

Jack.
Hi.

Nice to meet you, Jack.
Been here all my life.

Okay.

So, what brings you to our
little slice of paradise?

Let's just say the move
was cheaper than therapy.

I can understand that.

I was married once, myself.

Well, I hope all this Serenity
treats your marriage

a whole lot better
than it treated mine.

You're a pro.

How about another?
Please.

That, the cold,
and the silence

is about all you got
to worry about around here.

How you doing?

Unless you believe in ghosts.

I do.

I got to hear this story.

I love telling this one.

This is a real doozy.

Now.

There was this girl --
Charlotte was her name.

She was 16, 17 years old.

Her mom had died
a few years before,

so she was living up on
the hill with her daddy --

probably not far
from your place.

Hey, dad.

Dad?

Can we go out
on the lake today?

Not now, honey.
I'm busy.

Okay.

Although dad had always
promised her

to take her out on the lake
to have some fun,

this never happened.

One fateful day,
apparently, she was fed up,

and he was passed out drunk.

Daddy?

Daddy?

Unless you believe in ghosts.

I do.

Larry cragun and his
family have recently moved

to the remote town
of bayview, Idaho,

where a 1949 murder
is part of the local lore.

Daddy?

Daddy?

She took her daddy's
framing hammer

out of the tool box

and did a Lizzie borden
on him.

I mean,
once she started swinging,

she wouldn't stop!

Charlotte, apparently,

after bludgeoning
her father to death,

went to the lakeside
and took his rowboat.

She rode out on the lake
about 50 yards,

stopped, and just laughed.

A mad, crazy laugh.

She had finally gotten
her time on the lake.

Whatever happened to her?

She confessed...
To everything.

Said she was out
of her senses.

Yeah.

I think she did 10 or 15
years in prison.

Died about 10 years ago.

But they say, you can still
hear her laugh out on the lake.

Charlotte: Daddy.

Daddy?

Daddy?

Daddy.

Daddy.

What, baby?
What's wrong?

I'm sorry.

Daddy had a bad dream.

Mommy wants you
to fix the dock.

Okay.

Geez.

Come on.

Charlotte: Can we go out
on the lake today?

Katie, we're in
the middle of nowhere.

Larry cragun does his
best to settle into bayview,

though he's anything
but content.

I need to get out of here.
I'm not gonna stand here and --

no, you don't need
to get out of here.

You need to deal
with the situation.

What do you want me
to do?

Looks like
trouble in paradise.

Margie says that they were
on shaky ground.

Larry was so friendly
and outgoing

and jovial all the time.

I thought the world of Larry,

and, little by little,
he started changing.

That's so weird.

They seem to get along fine
when I'm over there.

Yeah.

You need to take it back.

I'm done.
No, you need --

you need to do
something about this.

Years pass.

Despite being surrounded

by this little piece
of paradise,

Larry's life seems
to be crumbling.

Little by little, he begins
to lose touch with reality.

Hey, Larry.
How's it going?

Good.

I was gonna head into town
and get some lumber

for that squat rack.

I'm just gonna get out
of the house for a few minutes.

You want to come?

Yeah.
Everything all right?

Yeah.
Fine.

Larry's not a
bad-seeming guy, you know?

He was clean-cut,
tried to work.

Sure. Yeah.
Just let me split this last one.

But, then, those last months,
he really got out there.

You hear that?

Hear what?

Nothing.

Let's see it.

It was not normal,
the things he was doing,

the way he was acting.

He was...

A ticking time bomb.

Yeah.

While Larry turns

to Yvonne Wallis' grandson,
jed, for friendship...

...his wife, Katie, is faced
with a difficult decision.

Yvonne:
My gosh.

Katie, that has got to be
the best pie I've ever eaten.

I completely agree.
Yes.

Absolutely.

Well, I'm just glad
it didn't go to waste.

What do you mean?

Well, to be honest,

I made it for Larry,
but then...

Honey,
you can talk to US.

We'll just keep this
between US.

Of course.

You know things have been
really tense for a while and...

Well, anyway, Larry lost
his job at the Marina.

I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.

I really thought the peace and
quiet would make things better,

but, they're just as bad
as they've ever been,

if not worse.

You know, if it were just me,
I would've left months ago,

but with Emma...

Anyway, I have a sister
in coeur d'alene.

I've been thinking of taking her
down there for a while.

Well, honey, you have to do

what's best for you
and your daughter.

Please, please, let US know
if you need anything.

Absolutely.

Thank you.

Anyway,
I'd better get back.

He'll be home any minute.

All right.

It's gonna be okay.
It'll be okay.

-Thank you.
-Poor little thing.

Okay.

The people in bayview are
very supportive of one another

and if a crisis happens
to somebody,

the community really
comes together as a whole.

But for Katie cragun,

Larry losing his job
is the last straw

in a marriage
that's been fragile for years.

She takes her daughter
and leaves him.

So, where's Emma?

She's already
with my sister.

Larry doesn't know.

I understand.

Thank you, jed.

And, please,
thank your mom for me, too.

I will.

You sure
you want to do this?

I feel like I have to.

Yeah.

Larry was kind of
all over the place

as far as emotionally.

I think you could
just see a pattern

that was just starting
to go around faster

and faster and faster,

that Larry's life
was crashing.

Do you believe she just took
our daughter and walked out?

You mean Katie?

Who do you think I mean,
jed?

Come on.

Okay.
Help.

Okay, help.

Help.

Okay, okay, help.

Larry?
Larry, come on, help.

Larry.

-Come on.
-Okay.

In the tiny town
of bayview, Idaho,

the behavior
of Larry cragun,

newly separated
from his family,

grows increasingly strange.

Jed:
Okay, help. Help.

Okay, okay, help.

Larry?

Larry, come on, help.

You call that a spot?

I was just messing
with you, jed.

Why don't you grow a pair?

-911, what's your emergency?
-They're coming near me.

-Sir?
-They're in the house.

-911 --
-you don't mess

with a man's dog.

That's good.

You can get, like,
a lobster roll --

come on in.

-I'll get it.
-Don't be shy.

It's open, Deb.

-She's always late.
-Knock the door down.

-Good evening.
-Hello.

Hey, sorry to be
disturbing you folks,

but, we got a complaint
from one of your neighbors.

You know Larry cragun?
-Sure.

Okay, well, he says
someone broke into his house,

messed with his food,
injured his dog.

-Are you sure?
-I'm sure.

Well, his wife left him
a few weeks ago,

maybe the stress
is getting to him.

Well, you know, we have
to check these things out.

Like said,
sorry to disturb y'all.

Y'all have a good evening.
-Thank you.

-Good night, Jerry.
-Night.

Larry had called
in multiple times --

reference break-in,
suspicious poisoning

type of calls.

Jed, have you noticed anything
different about Larry lately?

And all of them involved,
you know,

someone breaking
into his house

and messing with his food.

Yet, when the
deputies got there,

they couldn't find
anything disturbed,

no forced entry.

There was absolutely nothing

to substantiate any
of Larry cragun's claims.

Over the next few weeks,

odd things started
happening around

the Heath-Wallis home.

Yes?

Did you hear that?

Yes. What was that?
I don't know.

Jed and I are going outside
and take a look around.

Okay. Be careful.

Really?

Just make sure
you don't shoot US.

What do you see?
-I don't know.

I thought I heard something.

Maybe a deer?

There's nothing out here.

Come on,
let's go back inside.

Okay.

As christmastime approaches,

temperatures drop,

and bayview residents get ready

for a predictably snowy winter.

Don't get up, mom.

I picked up a burger
on the way home.

What are we watching?

You know, the usual.

-Yeah.
-So, how was your day?

On the night
of December 19, 2010,

Yvonne Wallis and her family
get the shock of a lifetime.

A shock that will rock
the town of bayview forever.

What are you doing here!?

No, Patty!

Jed!

No! No!

Six days
before Christmas in 2010,

neighbor Larry cragun

calmly walks into the home
of Yvonne Wallis

and her family

and viciously bludgeons them
with a hammer...

...leaving three people
for dead in rural Idaho.

Guys, you left the TV on
really loud again.

I can hear it...

Mike alone is forced
to deal with the horror

of his family's massacre.

Honey, honey,
I'm gonna get help.

I'm gonna get help.

Pick up. Come on, pick up, pick
up. Can somebody pick up?

We're sorry.

Slow night?

Tell me about it.

Please pick up.

You need anything?

More coffee would be nice.

Come on.

Come on, pick up, pick up,
pick up, somebody pick up.

Please pick up.

I haven't had a single call
all night.

You got it.

Come on.

Pick up.

Please.

Jed, jed, are you all right?

-Is he still here?
-I don't know.

Help your grandma.
Help your grandma.

Something in the system
went down

and bayview's
911 stopped working

at the most critical time,

and that's part of living out
in those isolated areas.

While Mike makes sure
the intruder is really gone...

...Yvonne clings to life.

Okay. Hey. Hey.

You got hit in the head.
-I don't see anything.

-What?
-Hey.

It's okay,
we're gonna get help.

Stay with my, baby,
stay with me.

Is mom okay?

Pick up, pick up,
please pick up.

-Operator.
-911, what is your emergency?

My family's been attacked.

-Sir, what is your address?
-54 spruce street.

Is 54 spruce street
your location, sir?

Yes, that's it.
My mother, my son, my wife...

Send an ambulance.

Hey, Patty.
Hang on, Patty.

Hang on, Patty.
Hang on.

Hang on.
Everything's gonna be okay.

Come on, Patty,
help's on the way.

Help's on the way.

Help's on the way.

Help's on the way.

Help's on the way.

Help's on the way.

See if you see
anybody outside.

Okay.

-It's okay, Patty.
-I don't see anybody.

Where the hell's
that ambulance?

I called them a half hour ago.
-Geez, half an hour.

It's okay.

Hey, hey, you all right?
How you doing?

-Help's on the way.
-Shh. It's okay, it's okay.

It seems like there was
a lot of scrambling around

when I first woke up.

Yeah, it...

...it was like...

Watching TV.

Like it really
wasn't happening.

I was just...

In shock.
-It's gonna be fine.

He hit me in the head
twice with a hammer.

Once in the back of the head,

just under the skull,

and once on top
of the head.

And...

I went out.

After attacking
the health and Wallis family,

Larry cragun heads
down to the local bar,

where Yvonne's best friend,
Deborah, is having a drink.

What're you having?

What's so funny?

You all right?

Tell him. Tell him.
Tell him. Tell him.

Tell him. Tell him.
Tell him.

Is that blood
on your shirt?

Probably.
Tell him. Tell him. Tell him.

I just murdered three people
up on the hill.

I thought, "no.
He couldn't have."

Jack.
Call the police, quick.

But I realized by the look
in his eyes, he was serious.

Meanwhile,
45 minutes after the attack,

first responders are desperately
trying to navigate the narrow,

twisting roads of bayview,

up to the house on the lake.

Anytime you get out
in a rural area,

it can be a considerable time
before help gets there.

It's a winding road
up a mountainside,

it's not well-marked,
it's not like a regular street

where you find in town,
you know,

a grid where you can
just get right there.

Yvonne! Patty!

I was so panicked
out of my mind.

My god.
I mean, here's my best friend

that I love so much
and her family.

I can't stop the bleeding.

This horrible thing has happened
to these wonderful people.

But I had to keep it together
for the sake of all of them.

It seemed like forever
for the ambulance to get there.

It's gonna be okay.
It's gonna be okay.

There they are.

I'll go get them.

Hang on.

It's gonna be fine.

Hey! Hey, over here!

Help!

Help,
we need you over here!

Help! Hey!

Yvonne Wallis,
her grandson jed Heath,

and her daughter-in-law,
Patty Heath --

all badly injured
in a hammer attack

by their neighbor
Larry cragun...

...have been clinging to life

and waiting for help
on a cold winter's night

in the remote town
of bayview, Idaho,

for close to an hour.

Sir, step back, please.

Thank you.

Ma'am?

Hi.
Can you tell me where you are?

Good.

When deputies arrived,

Patty was bleeding profusely
from the head,

had towels on her,

and she was just in
and out of consciousness.

We need another ambulance,
stat.

Joe, how is she?

Yvonne Wallis
requires multiple surgeries,

but ultimately
survives the attack.

Her grandson, jed Heath,
also survives.

But Patty Heath
isn't so lucky.

When I came out of surgery,

I had a tube down my throat,

and my daughter told me
that Patty had died

and I...

I start crying,

and I tried to talk
but I couldn't talk.

And I was just...

No, Patty!

...so...

Confused and so upset.

Why he would kill
little Patty...

...delicate little Patty.

I just don't understand
that part.

I never will.

He tried to play it off

that these women
were attacking him.

It was self-defense.

They were coming at me.

And when he said
"attacking,"

he was actually describing them
just standing up.

So, they were just
trying to get up.

Yvonne and him
never had any words

or any disagreement
or anything.

And Patty, same thing.

Why he attacked those two
is unbelievable to me.

There was no reason.

To new neighbors.

-Cheers.
-Cheers.

It was just so shocking
that my next-door neighbor

would just barge
into my house

and try to kill US.

Who's prepared when --

when somebody goes off
their rocker like that?

I mean,
who is really prepared?

Larry cragun takes a plea deal

and is sentenced
to 30 years in prison

for the murder
of Patricia Heath.

He also receives 30 years
for aggravated battery

and another 15 years
for attempted murder.

I think he should
never, ever have the chance

to be paroled.

He should never be able to walk
as a free man, ever.

He's too evil
and too unpredictable.

I'm a Christian woman,
I've forgiven

a lot of people in my life,

but that's one man
I will never forgive.

He is straight from hell.

He is a demonic,
satanic creature.

A son lost his mother,
a husband lost his wife,

Yvonne lost her daughter-in-law
that she loved like a daughter.

I lost a good friend.

Patty was a wonderful,
wonderful person.

I loved her so much.

She has a very
special place in my heart.

I miss her very much.

What would've happened that day

if the door
would've been locked?

Would Larry have just turned
around and walked away?

I'm guessing,
after this happened,

a lot more doors
were locked in bayview.
