[foreman] We weren't really anticipating a visit today.

Yeah, that's what makes it a random inspection.

[foreman chuckles]

What'd you say your name was again?

I don't think we've met.

-Caleb. -Caleb.

[Caleb] This way?

[foreman] Yeah, yeah. We use this for additional storage.

You know, we got about five tons in here.

Hey, you know what?

I never got to say a proper thank you

to Mr. Benji for working out that deal with me.

Could you pass that along when you see him, please?

-I'll be sure to tell him. -Right.

Is there anything specific we can show you?

Hey, you know what?

We should show 'em that new Howler mixer

that we just got in. This thing is a real beauty.

It runs like a Reynolds on steroids.

You wanna check it out?

Sure thing.

Okay, great.

It's over here.

[Caleb] I'll find you up top when I'm done.

[ominous music]

Caleb, right?

Hey, you got what you need?

You can call the office.

[supervisor] I think we'd like to know where we stand.

Yeah, you know, hear it from you.

When was our last delivery?

-Uh, I-I don't know, two weeks? -Three weeks.

The structure's two stories tall,

ceilings run 30 feet across, 15 off the ground.

Pilings on the ground floor are half done,

and we're talking at least a thousand feet

of steel already set.

Plus a couple hundred more in storage.

All right, so the client pays a bonus if we finish early.

What's your point?

Well, if you were only buying material from us,

you'd have run out of steel three days ago.

You fucking bastards.

Where the fuck do you get off?

I am the boss of this outfit, and I will choose what we buy.

I didn't make the deal.

Yeah, well, fuck you, and fuck your deal.

Okay? You think that I'm afraid of Benji?

Your stuff is shit and your prices are shit,

and we're done being intimidated.

-[supervisor] Ray, stop. Ray. -Don't turn your fucking back...

[grunts]

Get out of my face.

[tense music]

[Ray breathing heavily]

Hey, look, man... [breathing heavily]

You got any kids?

I got five mouths that I'm trying to feed

and I'm just trying to run a healthy business.

Please.

[workers chattering]

You're killing me here, huh?

Can you use your brain, for crying out loud?

Look, we'll reconvene on this later. Go on.

We got a buncha lunkheads on our team.

I mean, I got 15 pallets of rebar

I don't know what to do with.

-Sit down. -Oh, I can't stay.

-You want a drink? -No, I'm fine.

Sit down.

[liquid pouring]

[sighs]

So...

how'd it go?

Fine. I...

I got the grand tour. I... I think we're all good now.

Now?

What, they've been using another supplier?

-[sighs] -[Benji] Dumb bastards.

Did I call this or what?

They're supposed to buy exclusive from us,

top to bottom. That's the deal.

You don't wanna do that, then don't make the deal, huh?

[Caleb] They called it a stopgap.

I don't think it'll happen again.

[scoffs] Yeah?

We'll make damn sure it doesn't. Take Mason and Sikes.

I want you to get eyes on our friend Ray,

you know, over at the factory job?

Yeah. Hey, you wanna go with them?

No, I can't. It's my weekend with Barron.

-I'm already late. -Um...

So, how much did he give you?

[Benji chuckles]

Ah, it's all right, come on.

I know how these scumbags work, huh?

I was gonna tell ya.

[Benji chuckles] Nah, keep it.

Put it toward the kid's private school, huh?

Thanks.

I need you to go back there.

Barron and I, we're going to the lake house tonight.

I skipped last month for that thing in Parkville.

You know, I gotta be there.

-I'm already late, Benj. -The thing is this.

This guy knows you. He's talked to you already.

He knows he'll take you seriously.

-I made a promise. -I promise, he'll understand.

I send these knuckleheads over there,

they'll probably end up killing him.

You, well, you know how to get the message across.

-[knocking] -[sighs]

-[man] We're ready. -[Benji] Yeah.

Let me ask you something.

How do you think it looks when word gets out

that we're getting pushed around, huh?

Bad for us?

Tell me, in what way is this good for Barron?

Besides, this is what you're good at.

This is what you do.

And Caleb,

make sure you don't have to go back a third time.

[foreboding music]

[audience applauding]

[Lyle] The Monroe City Police Department

is a vital institution.

Under the stewardship of my good friend,

Chief Steven Alberts,

this community is safer and it is stronger than ever.

[audience applauding]

I don't know how much longer I can suck in my gut.

I'm not gonna be your gym buddy so quit asking.

Since my great-great-grandfather

served as this city's first district attorney,

our family has been putting your security

at the forefront of everything we do.

And as state senator,

I will redouble those efforts,

fighting for this city

and this community in our capital,

and ensuring that our voice is heard where it's needed most.

Go vote!

[audience applauding, cheering]

Chief?

Uh, Councilman,

let me introduce you to one of our most recent transplants.

This is Gabriel Navarro, Senior Detective.

Great to meet you. Very inspiring speech.

Thank you so much. It's a pleasure.

Welcome to our little shining city on the hill.

Who's this guy, huh?

[Navarro] Oh, this is my partner in crime.

Eight months and counting.

-Do you mind? -No.

-Yeah. -Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Thank you.

Wow, adorable.

He likes you. You must have your own.

[Lyle] Oh, you must be a detective as well.

Yeah, I got a son.

Fatherhood has been quite a journey,

but he's been my guide the whole way.

But I can tell you with total confidence,

there's no better city to raise a kid.

Caleb.

Having a little party?

-I'll get Jackie. -[Caleb] Thanks.

[guests chattering]

[door creaking]

[Caleb clears throat]

What's up? Everything all right?

[Caleb] Yeah, yeah, sorry I'm late.

There was an emergency on site.

-What? -Oh, hey.

For Barron's school supplies,

-and the books he wanted and... -[Jackie] Ah.

A little something extra for you.

I'm sorry, I'm confused. What emergency?

Look, I...

I know it's late,

but I still want to take him, Jack.

If we leave now, we can get there before midnight.

We can still have a great weekend.

-What are you... What... -Every--

Take him where?

Come on, don't make me beg.

I...

Look, I already said I'm sorry.

-Please. -Where's Barron?

Jackie?

Where the fuck is Barron?

[siren wailing in distance]

Detectives, not much is left.

So, prepare yourselves.

We think it's possible some of the body

got carried away further up the track.

Train conductor said he didn't see anything himself.

Sensors showed something up ahead.

He guessed it was deer.

He thought the horn would scare 'em off.

-[sighs] -Man, woman?

Age?

Young.

Real young.

-[officers clamoring] -[engine rumbling]

-[officers] Sir! -Is that...

-[officer 1] Hey! Sir! -Is that Barron? Hey!

[Caleb] Is that my son? Is that Barron?

-[officer 2] Sir, stop! -Is that Barron?

[Navarro] Stop! You can't go back there!

[Caleb] Is that my son?

[officer 3] Hey, hey! Come here!

-Stop him! -[officer 4] Hey, get back here!

-[officer 5] Stop! -[indistinct radio chatter]

[Navarro] You can't be here! You can't be here!

Come on, let's go, let's go! Come on!

You can't be here, you can't be here.

Come on, don't look. Don't look.

Come on, get up, get up, sir. Get up, sir.

-You can't be here. -No, please!

We're conducting an investigation.

-No! [sobs] -You can't be here, come on.

-No! [sobbing] -Come on, let's go.

Let's go, come on, sir. Don't look.

[somber music]

[Caleb wailing]

[Caleb] No!

No, no, that is bullshit!

-That is bullshit! -Look, Mr. Faulkner, please!

-It's not him! -All right.

It's not him, it's not my boy!

-Right? Tell him! -Caleb!

Mr. Faulkner, I know this has been extremely difficult.

Ten years old.

Why would a ten-year-old be down there?

Caleb!

-It's not Barron. -[Jackie sniffles]

[Jackie exhales]

Ms. Pressfield, I'd like to hear it in your words.

When was the last time you saw Barron?

Um, yesterday morning, at the bus stop, um...

[sniffles] When I dropped him off for school.

He was so excited.

Excited?

[sniffles] Well, this is Caleb's weekend

and Caleb was supposed to pick him up at the bus stop.

I had to work late. I left her a message.

Not with me!

[Navarro] Please continue.

I work as a private nurse part-time,

and I just called off yesterday to be home for Marla's birthday.

-Marla is? -My partner.

We were hosting a party.

-And you didn't get his message? -I left it at her work.

I didn't know she was gonna be out.

You didn't have to know!

You just had to fucking be there.

[Navarro] Please. I know this is hard.

In this case, we don't have a body to ID,

but if you could, um,

do these clothes look familiar?

What is that, some blue something?

Every kid's got a blue something.

That doesn't mean a damn thing.

[Jackie wailing]

Oh, my... Fuck!

Fuck you! You couldn't be there?

-[officer] Ma'am, ma'am! -Where the fuck were you?

-What the fuck were you doing? -Come with me.

Fuck you!

[sobbing]

-[phone ringing] -[door creaking, closes]

[chair clanging]

-Tell me everything you know. -[Navarro] Caleb.

-[Caleb] You found him! -Listen.

Somebody found him, somebody knows something!

What did they see? Tell me everything.

[panting]

Can you think of anybody that had a problem

with you or Jackie?

[breathing heavily]

What happened to your knuckles?

I work construction.

You think this is my fault?

He didn't say that.

You did fail to pick him up from school.

Sit down, please.

Nobody has a problem with me.

Thank you for your time.

Oh, Caleb, do you recognize these boys?

They ride the bus with Barron.

Got off with him at the last stop.

[Caleb] No.

Do they know something?

[Navarro] We'll be in touch.

[phone ringing in distance]

[dispatcher chattering]

Give me a sec.

Where's the other one?

[officer] Chief's in with him and his parents right now.

Said he wants to do the interviews himself.

-[Navarro] Just the Chief? -[officer] That's what he said.

[tense music]

Hey.

-Do you know what happened? -[Navarro] Caleb?

Do you know what happened to Barron?

[Navarro] Hey. Caleb?

-Do you know what happened? -[Navarro] Caleb?

Do you know what happened to my son?

Hey, hey, hey, step away.

Do you know what happened to Barron?

Tell me what happened to my son.

[Lyle] What the hell is this? Get away from him!

Come on, come on.

You can't do that.

-Let's go. -[officer] Come on.

[tense music continues]

Did you... Did you see that?

-You can't do that. -He just--

Hey, Caleb, please, look.

Take this, take it.

It's got my cell phone. I wrote down my home address.

If anything comes to mind, you wanna tell me anything,

don't hesitate, okay? Hey, day or night, got it?

-Yeah. -Take him home.

[somber music]

[birds chirping]

[mourners chattering softly]

I can't.

[Benji] Hey, keep your eyes open for an ice bucket, will ya?

I can't find one.

Well, you gonna just leave these boxes sitting around here?

It's not gonna work out.

Hey.

-Benj. -There he is.

It's a tough day, kid.

You hanging in, huh?

Everything is going home with you.

The food, well, the drink, whatever,

the flowers if you want 'em.

Make sure that Jackie gets hers too, and look,

you take whatever time you need.

-You heard anything? -Uh...

Well, I'm working on it like I told you.

I wanna talk to our guys on the inside.

I wanna know everything that the cops know.

I need to see the police tapes

because I saw something at the station.

-See, this is not the time to-- -There was this kid.

-Look-- -There was this kid,

and he knows something.

Micah, get rid of these, will ya, please?

Look, I can't imagine what you feel.

Whatever is going through your head right now,

-it's perfectly normal. -Fucking normal.

What the fuck does that mean?

I swear to you.

I swear to you, we're gonna find the bastard that did this,

but you want to focus on something?

There, look.

Why don't you get your head straight for her at least?

Be the man that she needs you to be right now.

Do your part.

Let me do mine.

[sniffles]

[phone ringing]

Did you know this?

-For Caleb's father? -[detective] Oh, yeah.

It was a missing person case for about ten minutes.

Turned out he went to Florida on a bender, never came back.

-You getting any air time? -[Navarro] For what?

[detective] Chief called a press conference.

-[knocking] -[Chief Alberts] Come in.

Oh, Detective.

Sir.

What's this about a press conference?

Oh, the ME is finishing up her report,

matches all the statements I've seen.

So, I think it's best we put a stamp on this

before it drags on, don't you?

[Lyle] My son made a more complete statement.

It's a terrible tragedy.

Apparently, the boy's home life was just abominable.

Shame someone didn't step in sooner.

I haven't seen those transcripts.

Uh, it's all here.

I took care of it personally.

So, you can file that with your scene report,

and file it closed.

[Jackie sniffles]

What are you doing, huh? You shouldn't be doing that.

[Jackie] I need to do something with my hands.

You've done enough, all right? Let me.

-No. -[Caleb] Don't...

I don't even know if I should be talking to you right now.

-[Jackie sniffles] -[somber music]

Jackie.

[sniffles] Don't you have somewhere that you need to be?

Where?

I don't know. I don't know, maybe bashing someone's head in

with a baseball bat

or hanging someone off of a ledge.

-I don't know. -Hey, leave her alone.

She needs some space.

Why couldn't you just be at the bus stop

when you said you would, huh?

[mourners chattering]

[sighs]

Get your coat. Making a visit.

Hey, what are you guys doing?

It's the funeral.

Just coming to pay respects, man.

-Benji? -[Benji] Yeah?

What?

No.

No, no. This is a private gathering.

You come back tomorrow.

-Go on. -[Caleb] What's going on?

Mr. Faulkner, Caleb, um,

I'm sorry to disturb you. I just have a few questions to--

Uh, did you not hear what I just said to you?

This is my house

and now is not the time for this.

We'll come back tomorrow, man.

Was Barron a happy boy?

A happy boy?

Did you notice him acting upset at all before he went missing?

-Upset? -More quiet.

-That's enough now. -[Navarro] Depressed?

-That is enough. -Wait, depressed?

Did Barron ever talk about taking his own life?

-Show him out. -What the fuck?

[all clamoring]

Some of his friends have reported--

Some of his friends? Who said that? What friends?

-Don't talk about my son! -[Jackie screams]

-[Jackie] Oh, my God! -[reporter] Withdrawal,

- mood swings, depression. -Oh, no!

No, no, no, no!

[reporter] We have to be there for our children.

- Suicide can be prevented. -[Jackie] What does that mean?

But it's up to us.

Suicide?

My son didn't kill himself.

-My son didn't kill himself! -Okay, take him--

-My son did not kill himself! -I understand you're upset.

-We're leaving! -My son didn't kill himself!

-Hey, that is enough! -All right.

-[man] Get him outta here! -Turn around.

Look at me, look at me! Come here.

Look at me, it's all right. It's all right.

You're all right.

[somber music]

[bell tolling]

[Lyle] Hey.

How are ya? Lyle Chambers.

[indistinct chatter]

Hi, Lyle Chambers.

And we have to do everything we can

to keep the money in our schools.

Absolutely. Education is a top priority for me.

I don't know if you've heard of my initiative,

They Are the Future?

Is that your son over there?

Yeah. That's Ethan.

I adopted him when he was, uh, six years old.

He was in this terrible situation.

Honestly though, most days it feels like

he's the one who rescued me, you know?

-May I meet him? -[Lyle] Of course.

Hey, Ethan, say hi.

[game beeping]

The things that he...

These kids.

Buddy,

somebody wants to meet you.

-Your face is ugly. -Ethan.

[Lyle splutters]

I apologize for that.

He gets a little shy around strangers.

[voter] Sure.

[Lyle] We're working on it, though.

You know what? It's been a long day.

Why don't you take him, uh, for some ice cream?

Helado, por favor.

Hello, nice to meet--

[tense music]

Do you know me?

What are you doing here?

-Hey, could I talk to you? -[Lyle] No, you can't be here.

[Caleb] Can I talk to you? It'll just be a minute, hold on.

-[Lyle] Officer, please. -[Caleb] Hold on, hold on.

-Wait, wait, wait. -[officer] Come on, let's go.

-No, no, it'll just be a minute. -[Lyle] Please remove him.

I just need to hear it from you, okay?

I just wanna...

I just wanna hear it from you!

-[Lyle] Okay. -Talk to me!

Talk to me!

[Lyle] Uh, okay.

Let's pack it up, all right? Let's go home.

[officer] Come back, you'll be arrested.

[Caleb] For what?

[officer] For pissing me off.

[pensive music]

-[knocking] -[doorbell ringing rapidly]

[dog barking in distance]

[objects clattering]

[barking continues]

[breathing heavily]

[Benji] What is this?

A confession.

Where'd ya get it?

Do you know the name Lyle Chambers?

Why?

Well, his kid knows what happened to Barron.

-He was there. -[Benji] Hmm.

[Caleb] They both were. This Ethan and Phillip.

[Benji] Hmm.

[Caleb] It means they were there.

Mm-hmm. All right, listen to me.

You are not to do anything without my permission.

Well, I'm not asking your permission.

I'm asking for your help.

-You see, Ethan-- -Ethan? Yeah.

Ethan, he's the son of a future state senator.

You know what that means, the Chambers family?

In this state, it's a goddamn political dynasty around here.

Oh, like I give a shit? What am I to do?

-I'm to just wait? -Um...

I'm working this from the inside.

I will get the police tapes,

but it's not overnight.

This has to be approached very delicately.

Out of everything we do,

this has to be delicate?

That's what I just said.

[tense music]

I could've been there.

I should've been there.

All I'm asking is if you can just help me get to Ethan--

You'll what? What, you gonna hear his confession

and, uh, pack him a lunch, send him home? [laughs]

What, do you think I'm gonna help you kill a kid?

-I'm not gonna kill him. -Well, you don't have to say it.

For Christ sake, think of your own son, think--

All I do is think about Barron!

His arms, his legs, his fingers all spread out,

tangled, torn apart!

Barron was the only light I had in my life!

So, what am I now?

Just another thug in your army?

[tense music continues]

[Benji] Hmm.

Huh.

Do you remember, uh, coming right here one night

long time ago asking for my help, huh?

Begging for my help.

Who was it saved your ass that night, huh?

You think I answer to you? Huh?

[scoffs] What, do you think you know me?

You think you know who I am and what I do?

I'm the reason you can provide for your family.

I'm the only reason that Barron ever had a chance.

Now you're my brother's son and you're family,

but I'm telling you,

I have worked too hard to build this life,

and I'm not gonna let you piss it all away.

Anything that I had to lose,

I've already lost.

You sure about that?

[Benji] Caleb?

-[train horn blaring] -[train engine rumbling]

[bell dinging]

[air whooshing]

[train horn blaring]

[teacher] It's okay.

Let's, uh, just take it from where you left off.

[student] "In fields of green where flowers bloom,

I find a place to chase away gloom.

With pen in hand and thoughts so bright,

I'll share this poem, which brings delight."

[students clapping]

[teacher] Okay, thank you, Samantha,

and thank you everyone for...

I know that kind of writing is very challenging.

[teacher speaking indistinctly]

All right, nice job.

[car approaching]

[bell ringing]

[tires screeching]

Ethan?

I need to talk to you.

-Why? -[Caleb] You know why.

You're mad 'cause your son offed himself?

I know that didn't happen.

[Ethan] How can you be so sure?

You're gonna talk to me either here,

or somewhere else.

What do you wanna know?

Did you hurt my son?

[sighs] I can tell you his last words.

"I'd rather get hit by a train

than spend one more second with my dad."

-[Caleb breathing heavily] -[Ethan gasps]

Let go of me or I'll scream.

Tell me what you did to him.

[Ethan feigns sobbing]

[Caleb] Don't you do that.

Don't you dare!

[teacher] What is going on?

Hey!

[suspenseful music]

[students clamoring]

-[objects clattering] -[students screaming]

[horns honking]

[Ethan] Whoa!

[bystanders clamoring]

[dramatic music]

[tires screeching]

[horn honking]

[tires screeching]

-[gentle music] -[birds chirping]

[engine rumbling]

[crows cawing]

[door squeaking]

[foreboding music]

[exhales]

-[Caleb grunting] -[Ethan grunting]

Get up.

Get the fuck up!

[Ethan panting]

[door thuds]

I can choke out a 200-pound man in less than ten seconds.

How long do you think you'll last?

You won't hurt me. I know you won't.

[gasping]

-[object clatters] -[breathing heavily]

You and Phillip got off the bus with Barron.

What happened next?

Where'd you take him?

Disneyland. [grunting]

I found this in Phillip's room.

That's you, right?

You're the devil.

Now something made Phillip draw this

when he got home, what was it?

This is a stick figure.

Do I look like a stick figure?

Don't you fuck with me!

I know that you did this.

[breathing heavily] Barron... Barron killed himself.

[gasping]

[door creaking]

-[knocking] -Be right there.

[Chief Alberts] How are you feeling?

Good, great.

[camera shutter clicking]

Lyle, are you sure you wanna do it this way?

-There are other ways. I-- -I think people

will wanna see me, how I handle crisis,

how composed I can be in the face of difficulty.

It's the best way to calm things down.

You're just going to read this exactly as it's written.

This may be real hard for you to believe, Steven,

but this is not my first press conference.

-[knocking] -I am coming!

Have you talked to the governor about this?

We could use his help.

His office would give us resources--

Do me a favor.

Don't mention the governor again.

[reporters clamoring]

Thank you all for coming.

Please be seated.

Today at 3 p.m., my son, Ethan,

went missing from his school.

At this time, I want to assure the public

that law enforcement is working tirelessly to find him

and to bring him home safe.

If anyone watching this has any information

about Ethan's whereabouts,

we would encourage you to make a report

as soon as possible.

Our family is grateful for the outpouring of support...

from the community during this difficult time.

And we are confident that Ethan

will be home safe where he belongs.

[dramatic music]

Additionally, I would like to announce

a $100,000 cash reward for anyone

with information about a Caleb Faulkner,

a person of interest.

Thank you, thank you, Councilman.

[reporters clamoring]

[Chief Alberts] Details are still forthcoming.

This concludes the press conference, thank you.

[Chief Alberts] What the fuck was that, Lyle?

I thought you wanted to handle this quietly.

The quicker it's over, the quieter it will be.

Somebody out there has seen him. One person calls, it's over.

Yeah, and when a thousand people call?

Look, my force has limited capabilities.

Hmm.

With a little help

from the state troopers, governor's office--

I sai... No, I said don't talk about the governor.

This is a local matter so we're...

we're gonna handle this locally.

Lyle, this is not our high school bullshit.

We are in way out of our depth here.

It's easy for you to say.

You've lived your whole life in the kiddie pool.

-[clears throat] Chief? -Yeah?

What's the latest?

We combed his house, his ex-wife's house,

requested all relevant records, property taxes,

credit card statements.

It's going to take some time.

Um, uh, where's your son right now?

At home, sir, with my wife.

Okay, imagine it was him out there in the hands of some

unhinged psychopath.

You gotta swear to me, gotta swear to me,

that you're gonna bring him home safe.

-Sir-- -No, you gotta swear

on your baby boy's life.

[door rattling]

[clattering]

[insects chirping]

[door slams]

[bag thuds]

[Caleb] Do you like hurting people, Ethan?

Are you a killer?

Are you?

If you think for one second

that I'm gonna give two fucks about what I do to you,

you're dead wrong.

You're not a kid.

You're a monster.

And I will treat you like one, if you make me.

I'm the monster?

Barron was right about you.

Everything he said was true.

Oh, yeah, what'd he say?

He said he hated himself because he hated you.

-You shut your fucking mouth! -What?

Are you gonna hit me again?

You'll see.

-[tense music] -[door closing]

-[insects chirping] -[dog barking in distance]

Don't fucking move.

I'm a vet.

I will fuck your shit up.

Caleb? Damn, man.

[laughs]

It's been a minute.

Hasn't it?

Kid with you?

Not this time.

All right, all right. Well, you two swing by this week.

I got the quads all fixed up.

Felix, I need a few supplies.

Oh, yeah, man, of course. Come on.

[Felix] Are we doing the usual?

Oh, come on, man.

-[ominous music] -[lights buzzing]

So, uh...

what are you looking to build?

Maybe I should ask, what are you trying to break?

[siren wailing]

-[horn honking] -[crowd clamoring]

[dispatcher chattering]

[door opens]

[detective] She's back.

[door closes]

[Jackie] There's more than there was yesterday.

Can't you do something with them?

This has to be some kind of harassment.

[Navarro] They're on the street, they're not breaking the law.

Let me go next time.

I'm not hiding in here.

[breathing shakily] I've done nothing wrong.

Just, um, I need to ask you a few questions.

Hey, I let you look around. Isn't that enough for today?

Where was this photo taken?

[Jackie exhales]

Please.

I'm trying to help.

[Jackie sniffles]

Do you believe it?

[whimpers] That my son killed himself?

'Cause he was a happy kid.

And he had a smile that could light up this whole house.

[sobbing] It's not true.

What everybody is saying is not true.

[Navarro] What if I said I believed you?

Nobody knew your son better than you.

Then say something.

[Navarro] Right now, we have to find this missing boy.

If Caleb hurt him and you knew something about it,

you can get into a lotta trouble and I don't want that.

So, where was this photo taken?

-[Jackie sniffles] -[somber music]

[exhales]

We were so young when Barron was born.

And we weren't even married yet.

[sniffles] We tried...

for a little bit,

but Caleb, he,

he just changed.

[Jackie exhales] He started sinking.

And I knew that...

if I didn't let go then I would've drowned, too.

[Jackie sniffles]

I'm sorry I can't be more of a help.

Additionally, I would like to announce

a $100,000 cash reward for any information

about a Caleb Faulkner,

a person of interest.

[Chief Alberts] Thank you, Councilman.

Um, details are still forthcoming...

He's making fools of us, Benj.

We can't do our jobs this way.

I heard you.

-You told him-- -I said I heard you.

[reporter] Hastily wrapping up the press conference

for Councilman Lyle Chambers.

The prospective senator perhaps assured of a conviction

of one Caleb Faulkner.

Caleb.

[reporter] It's not clear at this time...

[door creaking]

Come on.

Walk.

[ominous music]

Put your hands around the pole.

Put your hands around the fucking pole.

[breathing heavily]

You're making me do this.

You're really gonna make me do this.

[tools clanging]

-What happened to my son? -[objects crashing]

I already told you!

Okay.

What happened to Barron?

[whirring]

You won't hurt me. I know you won't.

-Oh, yeah? Oh, yeah? -[whirring]

Do you think this is the first time

that I've ever done this?

[grunts] I already told you, I don't know.

I don't believe a single fucking word you say.

-[breathing heavily] -[whirring]

[laughs]

[Caleb] Yeah...

I got a better idea.

Yeah.

[suspenseful music]

[Ethan panting]

You think you're scaring me?

For the last time.

What happened to my son?

What happened to Barron?

What happened to him?

Tell me

what you did to my son!

What happened to Barron?

[Ethan] Do it.

[panting]

[objects clattering]

[Caleb screaming]

Just tell me!

I'll take you back!

Just tell me and I'll take you home.

Please!

[somber music]

I don't wanna go home.

[dramatic music]

What?

I don't wanna go home.

[insects chirping]

Let's go in, he's right there.

No.

No, Benji wants this done special.

Just tell him he's back.

[phone beeping]

Barron and I were fixing this place up together.

We wanted this room to be our own personal aquarium.

Floor-to-ceiling glass enclosure

with every kind of fish in the world.

One day, Barron came to my room

with the floor plan

he'd drawn up in colored markers.

He said, "You can do whatever you want

with any other room in the house, Daddy.

This room is for the fish."

And I said, "Why?

We got the lake right outside.

We can take the boat out, go fishing any day we want.

What do we gotta bring 'em inside the house for?"

[sighs]

He said, "Because, Daddy,

you're afraid to swim.

How else are they gonna get to know you?"

[gentle music]

And I would swim to the bottom of the ocean right now...

[sighs]

...if I could bring him back.

[crying]

I tried to save him. [crying]

I've seen your alligator tears.

Don't you fuck with me.

I can't... I can't...

I can't say anything, otherwise he'll kill me.

[Ethan crying]

Who?

[Lyle] No, well, I don't wanna hear that.

It's one fucking guy.

Well, don't call me back until you do!

Steven, where the fuck is my dinner?

[man] Aides, chefs, nannies.

You were never one to clean up your own mess.

Dad.

Give us a minute.

Everything's under control.

Um, I'm on top of everything.

Then explain to me why my office

is blowing up with calls and media requests

from reporters all over the state.

I'm supposed to know what is going on down here.

Christ!

Ten seconds!

I cannot leave you unsupervised!

Nothing has changed.

I didn't need you to come.

I don't... I don't need your help.

You know, I have tried so hard with you.

But you seem intent on ruining my name.

Okay, please, Dad, I just need a little bit more time.

All you had to do was keep him alive.

Adopting that kid was the best publicity you ever had.

I didn't want him. I never fucking wanted him.

That was your idea. You made me do that.

To give you a fucking chance.

[sighs]

Who do you think you're fooling?

Parading around like some kind of Chambord aristocrat

when you have done nothing, not one thing to earn it.

What can I do? What can I do to make you happy?

I adopted a fucking kid.

I want you to win.

I will win.

There is no more help after this.

No more.

I've done all I can for you.

If you don't get this sorted out,

you're on your own.

[suspenseful music]

[glass shattering]

Fuck, fuck!

Fuck!

[Lyle grunts]

[phone vibrating]

Yes?

[caller] Lyle Chambers?

[Lyle] Who is this?

[caller] Are you alone?

-[insects chirping] -[owl hooting]

[door opens, creaks]

[door closes]

[Caleb] Let's get you a clean change of clothes.

[dramatic music]

Where should I sleep?

The bed.

Oh, and Ethan?

Just for tonight.

[engine rumbling]

[siren wailing in distance]

[Caleb] Come on, get out!

Come on. Come on.

-[Ethan panting] -[dog barking in distance]

Sit.

What was that?

They were trying to kill you.

[Ethan] I knew he would find me.

What?

-[Caleb] Oh, shit. -[Ethan] Lyle did it.

Ethan?

Ethan?

Come on.

Hey, stay with me.

Come on.

[Caleb grunts, pants]

[siren wailing in distance]

[Benji] Back here.

Relax, nobody's gonna come in.

She opened an hour early for me.

So, what happened? Are they...

They got away?

It went bad.

"It went bad"?

That's your fucking answer?

How did it go bad?

-Are we compromised? -No.

These guys are pros, out-of-towners.

I've worked with 'em before,

but, uh... [sighs]

one of the men was killed.

[laughs] Oh, this is such a fucking mistake.

All right, just relax.

You said you could handle this. You told me that.

[Benji] I will erase Caleb

and get the kid back dead or alive.

And you will make sure

that every district building contract runs through me.

No, fuck that deal. I'm done. This never happened.

Well, that isn't how this works. Hey!

Keep it together.

I know Caleb, I know how his mind works.

He'll go places he's been, people he trusts.

They'll turn up, and when they do, I'll be ready.

This is gonna wash out fine.

It better because right now

you're the farthest thing from fine.

You're gonna fix this, or I am gonna run you down

until you're either dead or in jail.

-If you-- -[tableware clatters]

[shop bell jingles]

[Caleb panting]

[train rumbling]

We're almost there.

Stay with me.

[train horn blaring]

[indistinct radio chatter]

[door pounding]

The hell?

Come back, we're closed!

[pounding continues]

[Caleb] It's me!

[Felix] Mother of God.

[Caleb panting]

[Felix] What the hell happened, Caleb?

He's been shot.

-Shit! -Is anyone else here?

-Is anyone else here? -[Felix] Nobody's here, man.

Come on.

-Can you fix him? -[Felix] Damn it.

Did you do this?

-Just-- Can you fix him? -[Felix] Shit, come here.

Come here, come here. Come here.

I need you to apply pressure right there.

Right there, hold him there.

All right?

-[Caleb] Yeah. -[Felix] I don't think it's bad

but I gotta make sure.

Is he gonna live?

We gotta stop the bleeding.

[Felix] Go sit down. We're gonna need a minute.

[panting]

[Felix] He'll be all right. It's not too deep.

[somber music]

I heard on the news about Barron.

I'm sorry.

Are you gonna tell me what the hell is going on?

-[helicopter whirring] -[siren wailing]

[detective] Spoke to the tech.

With this scale of explosion,

a gas leak would've had to fill the house across several hours.

There's no way anyone inside would've survived.

[Chief Alberts] Detectives!

[indistinct radio chatter]

How the hell did you not find this place?

I thought you checked property records.

I did.

We sent patrols out to look for this house.

-They didn't find it in time. -You mean they didn't find--

Caleb isn't the owner of the house.

Neither is Jackie.

It's Barron's.

Jackie's late father left it for him in a trust.

And you didn't think to ask her about something like that?

No bodies, we assume they're alive.

[Felix] Yo, you gotta go.

Benji called.

You can't be here.

Where's Ethan?

I buried him in the yard.

[chuckles] He's all right, he's over there.

The shock is what did him in.

Is it true what they're saying?

You lost your damn mind?

I think the less you know, the better.

You got a couple days

before that wound of his needs to be looked at.

The local anesthetic should keep the pain down for a little bit.

Here.

Truck is parked out front.

Anybody asks, I'm saying you stole it.

What is this?

He told me.

He told you what?

That you're rescuing him.

I saw the bruises.

As I was dressing his wound,

I saw the bruises all over his body.

Traumatic subdermal hematoma. Calcified.

Yeah, I don't...

They go back years.

Years.

So I asked him,

and all he said... was you were rescuing him.

Now I don't know your plans,

and maybe I don't want to,

but one thing is true, that boy needs help.

And if he says you're helping him,

that's good enough for me.

[keys jingling]

You are helping him, right?

[phone ringing]

[keys jingling]

[game beeping]

How you doing, kid?

You in pain?

You said your dad did this

back at the house.

What does that mean?

That he sent those guys?

He's not my dad.

Well, we can't stay here, okay?

We gotta go.

[Ethan] Where is this?

[soft music]

It's one of Barron's favorite places.

Where'd you get that?

I want you to...

I want you to take me here.

[Caleb] Why?

If you take me here,

I'll tell you what happened to Barron.

I'll tell you everything you wanna know.

I promise.

[door creaking]

You trust him?

You can't fake those injuries.

Listen,

what they're saying on the news about Barron,

I know it's not true.

He'll get his justice.

I used to say the same thing once,

but you know, it didn't matter how many of them we killed.

It never brought any of my friends back.

Good luck, Caleb.

Ms. Pressfield, you need to be honest with me now.

You told me you didn't know where they were.

Caleb was trying to figure out the truth.

Have you talked to him?

You need to tell us.

When was the last time he called you?

This is one of your finest, huh? Take him out.

[knocking]

[Jackie sniffles]

[Navarro sighs]

[door closes]

-I'm almost through. -No, you're not even close.

-I'm gonna talk to her. -What?

-Chief? -Let him.

That was good work, Detective.

[door creaking]

[Lyle] Jackie, do you mind if I sit?

Uh, I assume you know who I am.

[chair scraping]

Yep.

[Lyle] Look, it's okay.

I can't even begin to imagine what you've been through.

You're so strong.

He was such a beautiful boy.

And a happy boy.

And a happy boy.

So is mine. [sniffles]

I'm so scared for him. I... I miss him so much.

I can't even think how scared he must be.

Right, do you know that Ethan was adopted?

His mom was addicted to drugs,

abandoned him when he was very small,

bounced around between group homes before he found me.

Forever dad is what they say.

Look, Ethan's very important to me.

And I know you understand that feeling.

Our children are the greatest joy in our world,

and they're also our greatest responsibility, right?

Everything we do, we do for them.

That's our job as parents, isn't it?

I'm just asking you...

if you could find the courage to help me...

find my kid.

I'll do whatever it takes to find justice for yours.

[phone ringing]

[Chief Alberts] You know, I think this might have been

too much for you to chew on for your first case.

Yeah, maybe it was.

Wilson, why don't you take point?

Yeah.

I need to be in there with her.

I need to be the one talking to her.

You wanna do something useful?

There's a crucifix in my office.

Why don't you take a knee and pray that boy shows up?

[indistinct radio chatter]

[water bubbling]

[kids chattering]

Five minutes. Then we go.

"See a penny, pick it up.

All day long, you'll have good luck."

Do you know that one?

Yeah, I've heard it.

[Ethan] My dad,

my real dad used to say it.

You think it's true?

Well, that's all I remember of him,

so guess not.

At Lyle's house,

I kept a jar of 'em under my bed.

And... one day he found them and he said I was stealing.

He gave you those bruises?

He won't stop until I'm dead.

Look, I can protect you,

but you gotta help me.

How?

You don't know what he can do.

People everywhere are working for him.

They know what he does to me, but they don't do anything.

And he could be watching us right now.

Hey, hey, it's all right.

It's all right. Hey.

I know how you must feel. To be scared.

To be alone.

My dad, I could never do anything right.

If I failed a math test or if I failed

to shovel the driveway the way that he liked,

he made sure I knew it and never forget it.

How'd you make it stop?

It didn't.

Didn't stop until he died.

Promise me you'll get me far away from him.

Look, I...

Barron knew what Lyle does to me.

That's why he killed him.

What?

Just get me out of here, please.

Just somewhere far away. Somewhere where he can't find--

Lyle was there?

He killed Barron?

Lyle has a boat.

Says no one will ever find us there.

And I told Barron and Lyle found out.

So then he brought us to the tracks

and he... he made Barron lie down,

and I-I tried to save him.

I-I tried, but the knots,

they... they... they wouldn't come out. [sobs]

[Caleb] Hey, hey.

Hey, it's all right, it's all right.

We'll get you someplace safe, I promise.

Hey.

Hey, hey, hey.

Your dad, he ever tell ya...

he ever tell ya the rest of that rhyme, huh?

"You give that penny to a friend...

and your luck will never end."

Thank you.

[reporter] MCPD has officially linked the Monroe [indistinct]

primary suspect in the kidnapping...

[knocking]

[door creaking]

[pensive music]

Oh, sorry. I just wanted to drop this off.

[Navarro] What do you got?

Hourly tip report, Chief's orders.

Anything good?

I got a couple of hillbillies,

a confused grandma, and a stoned hotel lady.

-[coins clinking] -[siren wailing in distance]

[keypad clicking]

[line trilling]

[phone ringing]

Hello?

-[Caleb] Jackie? -[Jackie] Caleb?

[Jackie] What happened? What...

They said that there was an explosion,

and-and is the boy--

I'm all right. He's... He's fine.

Do you think it's time maybe that you come home?

I can't.

Not yet.

[Jackie] Please .

Please, I can't...

I can't fucking do this anymore.

- [Jackie] I'm-- -I can't...

Ethan, I think he's in danger.

I think I have to help him.

[Jackie] Help him? Why?

Somebody's hurting him. I... [sighs]

I think I can get him away.

Caleb, you said this boy killed our son.

[Caleb sighs] You have to help me, all right?

I gotta get him far away so he won't be found.

I don't understand.

[Caleb] Jackie...

Please, you're the only one I can call.

[Caleb] Hey, it's not for me. It's for him.

[Jackie exhales]

What do you want me to do?

[Caleb] Meet me tomorrow morning.

Where?

[Caleb] Lucky Star Diner on 26 near Hamlin.

Why?

Your aunt still got that farm with the animals and the kids?

[Jackie] Yeah.

Yeah, Saint Michael's. What... [sniffles]

Caleb, are you trying to get this kid

to go across the border?

[Caleb] I need you to take him there... just for a few da ys.

Why are you doing this?

I wanted Barron to be brave.

Why shouldn't I want that for myself?

Huh?

You deserved a lot better than me.

You both did.

[Jackie sniffles]

Caleb...

Caleb, I'm so, so sorry.

Don't fucking go there.

-Don't go. -Hey, don't!

Hello? Caleb, are you still there?

[Wilson] Hey, come in and talk to us, okay?

We can help you resolve this thing peacefully.

Where are you right now, huh?

Caleb, you listening?

Caleb? Caleb?

[suspenseful music]

Hey, are you there? Caleb?

Caleb!

[Navarro] He's here.

Hillcrest Motel, exit 26.

We got a 10-32.

I need all units to Hillcrest.

Again, this is a 10-32. Let's go.

-[Wilson] Come on! -[siren wailing]

[Navarro] Ethan, are you okay?

Where is he?

In there.

Stay here. Help is on the way.

[guest screams]

[suspenseful music continues]

-[Navarro grunts] -[guest screams]

[Caleb panting]

[indistinct radio chatter]

Caleb!

[tires screeching]

Are you all right?

What do we do now? [panting]

[thunder rumbles]

[rain pattering]

[door pounding]

[door opens]

I need your help.

-[thunder rumbling] -[rain pattering]

I haven't gotten around to taking it down yet.

I guess it just...

feels too final.

Made the arrangements.

We'll get you both across the border and--

Just him.

[sighs]

I'm going after Chambers.

-No, no, that's a big-- -He killed Barron, Benj.

He killed him.

-[thunder rumbling] -[glass clinks]

To Barron.

To Barron.

Well, you better say your goodbyes then, huh?

[Ethan] You're not coming?

[Caleb] Ethan!

[thunder rumbling]

[Caleb] Ethan?

[rain pattering]

[Ethan] You can't just leave me alone.

You made a promise.

[Caleb] I said I would get you somewhere safe.

That's what I'm doing.

Can't you just stay with me?

You don't wanna stay with me, Ethan.

[Ethan] You said you knew what it was like.

You said you understood. Your dad--

Is dead because of me!

Is that what you wanna hear?

I killed him myself because that's what I am,

I'm a killer!

That doesn't scare me.

I've done things, too.

But we're not the same.

On Barron's third birthday,

my dad shows up, his usual self.

And he keeps going on about what a screw-up I am.

And he goes on and on in front of everybody, you know?

So I gotta wrestle him to the car and drive him home.

And the whole time, he keeps dogging me.

He said the best thing that I could do for Barron

would be to get the hell out of his life.

And I just lost it.

I turned that wheel so hard,

I didn't know we went off the road

until we hit the water.

[water gurgling]

We were sinking fast.

[water gurgling]

And I start trying to pull myself out,

and that's when he grabbed me.

I was so angry, Ethan...

I was so angry just like you,

that I didn't do anything.

I just held my breath for as long as I could,

but I just watched until he was dead.

That night, I called my uncle, Benji.

He helped me put this whole thing to bed.

My life changed after that.

Barron was the only thing I had left.

Without him, all I am is a killer. Rot.

Like your father.

And men like us can't change.

Did we have to be the worst thing we've ever done?

You don't have to think about that.

[man] Caleb, we're ready to go.

Benji, you got a call waiting for ya at the back.

[ominous music]

[Caleb sighs]

How 'bout you write me a letter when you get there, huh?

Come here.

[thunder rumbling]

-Thank you, Benj. -Yeah, well,

don't thank me just yet.

-[thudding] -[Ethan] No, no!

[shouting] Caleb! Caleb! [pants]

Caleb! No, no, Caleb!

Caleb! [muffled shouting]

-[Caleb wheezing] -[Ethan wailing]

[Ethan grunting] Let me go!

[Ethan sobbing]

Look at me, Caleb.

I said look at me.

[ominous music]

I didn't want it to be like this,

-I really didn't. -[grunting]

I told you I would get the fucking tapes, didn't I?

Now if you had just listened to me, but no.

Years, I've been looking out for you.

I gave you a way to provide.

And what do I get?

You turn around and you stab me in the back

like you're some kind of a fucking Brutus?

Put on that tape.

[Caleb grunting]

You...

Open your eyes and watch.

This is what you wanted, you watch.

[Caleb grunts]

[Phillip] I thought we were just gonna play a game.

I didn't know!

[Chief Alberts] Phillip, what happened then?

[Phillip] Ethan told me that we were the bandits,

and Barron was the sheriff.

Ethan gave me the rope to tie Barron down.

We thought it was just pretend.

But Ethan...

[Phillip crying]

When Barron wanted to get up,

Ethan wouldn't let him.

I tried to untie him, but Ethan shoved me away.

Barron started to cry.

Ethan teased him, told him to shut up.

When he wouldn't,

Ethan put his hands around his neck.

When he stopped moving, I ran.

I ran away!

I'm sorry, Caleb! [sobs]

-[Ethan sobs] -[Caleb yells]

-[Benji] Get the kid out. -[Caleb] I'm gonna kill you!

Stop fighting, Caleb.

-[thudding] -I said stop fighting, will ya?

Kid's going back to his father,

that means he's gonna suffer just the way you want him to.

You want revenge?

Well shit, you're getting it and then some.

Now you can thank me.

[Caleb grunts]

You're still gonna get that ride north.

It's against my better judgment, but, uh...

you're family.

I don't ever wanna see you again.

You show your face, I'll kill you.

Do you understand?

[Caleb groaning]

Oh, what I said about Barron before?

I meant it.

Barron was a sweet boy.

It's a shame he had to have such a bag of shit for a father.

No.

No!

No.

-[bats thudding] -[Caleb grunting in pain]

[monitor beeping]

[indistinct PA announcement]

Hey.

Welcome back, bud.

We were all so worried about you.

[sighs] You can relax, you're safe now.

[Ethan breathing rapidly]

[shushes]

[beeping intensifies]

Don't worry.

Daddy's gonna take care of everything.

[Caleb grunts]

[ominous music]

Let's go.

[water splashing]

[Caleb breathing heavily]

[somber music]

[sobbing]

You'll wait backstage until I call you out, okay?

No games.

You good?

[reporters clamoring]

[reporters cheering, applauding]

[Lyle] It's all right.

Look, come on down.

There you go.

-[water splashing] -[somber music]

I can't...

I can't...

I can't. [sobs]

Before we let everyone in downstairs,

I just wanted to thank each and every one of you

in this room right now who was part of the journey

that brought us here today.

Your love and commitment to me and my family

over the past couple of weeks,

it's just been overwhelming.

And together we have proved once and for all

that when we share a vision,

there is nothing we cannot accomplish.

-[man] Where is he? -I think he's washing up.

I hear the water running.

-Ten fucking minutes? -He's half dead.

Caleb?

-[Caleb panting] -[water splashing]

[dramatic music]

-[knocking] -Caleb?

[man] Caleb?

Caleb? Caleb, answer me!

All right, you should get in there. Bust it.

And I wanna thank my partners new and old

as we, uh, unite together to fortify this community

for future generations and beyond

with the legacy of Mayor Greenspan as a model.

His retirement calls for new leaders

to carry on the torch,

and I cannot think of a better man for the job

than our own Chief of Police,

and my good friend, Steven Alberts.

[applauding]

Hey, you sit the fuck down! You sit the fuck down!

Cheers. Here's to you.

Here's to the future.

[grunting]

Hey, Caleb!

-[both] Oh! -Motherfucker!

-[indistinct TV dialogue] -[water splashing]

-Uh, call Benji. -No, no!

Hey, we gotta deal with this ourselves.

Shit!

[Benji] There you are, good, good to see ya.

-[waiter] Good to see you, sir. -[Benji] That's for me.

-[waiter] Yes, sir. -[Benji] All right.

And this, this is for you.

Thank you, sir.

-Thank you. -You bet it.

Hey. [chuckles]

We're gonna do good things together, all right?

Thank you. [indistinct]

Hey, coming up in the world, huh?

[glass clinking]

[ominous music]

Get out.

I'm about to go on stage.

He's here.

He's in the building.

You said this was taken care of.

He's going to come for us.

[announcer] Ladies and gentlemen,

please take your seats.

[audience applauding]

[siren wailing in distance]

Get in, get in, get in.

Okay, we're going straight to the marina, Robert, please.

And quickly.

I'm gonna need your piece, Robert.

Your gun, Robert, your gun!

Thank you, sir.

-[Lyle sniffles] -[gun cocks]

[seagulls squawking]

[suspenseful music]

[Lyle] Okay.

Hey, Captain, start the engines!

-Hey, John! -[Caleb] I sent them away.

I hope you don't mind. I...

I don't want them to see what happens next.

-You stop right there. -I'm not here for you.

I'm here for him.

What?

You give him to me

and you can still have everything you ever wanted.

[Lyle] What?

You let me kill him.

[Caleb] I'll tell the world anything you want me to say.

You wanna be a hero?

I can make you one.

That deal with Benji, I won't get involved.

You just let me have justice for Barron!

Do you think I'm a fucking idiot? Hmm?

You can still win.

Are you serious?

We're running out of time.

We only got a few seconds left alone.

So, you've come all this way to just shoot him

and then turn yourself in. Is that right?

You let me do it, I'm yours.

-No, no. -Yeah, you got a deal.

Here, take him, take him.

-[Lyle] Take him. Take him. -[Ethan] No, no.

No, no! [gasps]

Please, please! Please, I'm sorry!

-[Lyle] Do it. -No, no!

-[Lyle] Just do it. -Caleb, no!

No!

Caleb, I'm sorry, okay?

I'm... I'm sorry, okay?

Just shoot the little fucking shit!

No! Please!

That enough, Detective?

-[Navarro] That's enough. -[Lyle] Huh?

Lyle Chambers, put the gun down.

You're under arrest.

-You're safe, you're safe. -[Lyle] No.

No, no, him.

-You wanna arrest him. -[Ethan] I'm sorry.

-Arrest him. -Put it down, now!

-This is your final warning. -[Ethan] I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

You're safe, huh?

You're safe, all right?

All right? You're safe.

[Navarro] Put it down, now!

[siren wailing in distance]

[gunshot]

[Ethan panting]

[gunshot]

[Ethan] Caleb!

-[gunshots] -[Ethan] No!

No! Caleb!

Caleb!

[water gurgling]

[dramatic music]

[Ethan] Help!

Help! Caleb!

[dramatic music continues]

[water gurgling]

[Caleb inhales sharply]

-[monitor beeping] -[indistinct PA announcement]

[PA] Nurse Kelly,

you have a call at the front desk.

Nurse Kelly.

[Navarro] Sorry about that.

Hospital policy.

How you feeling?

[gulps]

[clears throat]

Ethan?

[Navarro] He's okay.

Shaken, but okay.

He's down the hall getting looked at.

He confessed.

He told us everything.

CPS is gonna step in first, but...

he has to live with the consequences of what happened.

He'll get the help he needs, thanks to you.

Chambers?

[Navarro] Dead.

You're still gonna have to go away for what you did,

I'm gonna do everything I can to protect you, but...

Benji's still out there.

[gentle music]

I'll, um, come back later and check on you.

Oh, uh...

he wanted me to give you something.

[Caleb sniffles]

Did he, uh...

Did he... ever say why?

Why Barron?

Well, in his words...

he said he wouldn't stop talking about his dad.
