All language subtitles for Vanished Without a Trace (1993)

the following is based on a true story
some names have been changed

Let's keep it down for a dull roar back
there.

We're just having fun, Edward.

We're all acting like a barrel full of
monkeys.

The monkey business gotta stop or we're
staying right here.

You can't do that.

No

more

monkey business.

I'm the monkey in charge here, okay?

Sit.

Stay.

You too.

Okay.

How much do we pay for this one?

$350. I put $180 in so far.

What do you figure?

I think we add $1 ,000 per.

All right, that's what, $500 profit?

If we sell it.

The three ways, nothing.

You folks home?

I don't know. My grandma is, though.

Why? I don't know.

What you gonna do tonight?

I don't know. Nothing, I guess.

My mom and dad wants home for dinner.

How much you think we made this month?

Not enough.

This isn't working too good. These
things just aren't moving.

I need some money. I need some money
bad.

What are you talking about? Your parents
got more money than God.

Yeah, well, my folks have had so much
for so long that they don't think much

money. They live like dirt farmers.

Yeah.

78 acres of dirt.

The richest suburb of San Francisco.

This place is worth more than Rhode
Island.

I could hit up my grandma, though.

I'd have to lie.

I could do that.

If I got some money, I could get my
parents off my back.

I'm supposed to be a podiatrist like
dear old Dad, you know?

You gotta live for now, man.

Risk, daring, it all comes to the fast
and the strong. That is who makes it in

this world, the bold and the daring.

Like you and your old cars, huh?

Very bold and daring

Okay,

so

the car thing ain't working out There's
got to be way to

score some big money

Talk about it later.

I gotta go.

Yeah, go home to Mommy and Daddy.

You know, Odessa, sometimes I feel I've
got all a man could ever need. Take a

look.

It's not much, but it's ours.

Come here, my darling Hannah.

We have a beautiful daughter, a
beautiful grandson.

Yes.

And a beautiful wife.

I told the girls down at work that if
you ever won the lottery, you'd probably

just buy a new battery for that old
tractor.

Maybe. and a new transmission for the
old school bus.

Look, Lee's coming by for Hannah in an
hour, and they're going to stay for

dinner now. Hannah, you tell Grandpa to
be sure and get washed up and ready.

Hannah, you tell her that I'll be done
in 20 minutes.

I think it's about time you started
putting your nose

to the grindstone, Fred.

Frankly, you're becoming an
embarrassment, and I won't have it.

You've been given everything.

Now do something with it instead of
squandering it all. You were given

everything, too.

What do you do?

What's that supposed to mean?

You inherited everything from Grandma,
so why are you acting like you earned

everything on your own? Don't use that
tone with me, young man. I've worked.

I run this quarry, and I run this
family.

Freddy Neff.

You need to prove you're worthy of our
family name.

It's an old name.

A proud name.

We've been a part of the history of this
state since the gold rush, and I won't

have my only son treat his heritage like
the dole. You just seem to have one

harebrained, worthless scheme after
another.

leave it again dad rodeo up at calgary
can i go oh you got school and you got

be man of the house while i'm gone well
maybe i don't want to be the man of the

house time's gonna come when you got to
measure up to being a man whether you're

ready or not life doesn't always wait on
here why don't you load up that other

horse for me while i take a bite of your
mom

You gotta show that horse who's bald.
Jack, you spooked some, Dad.

Spooked?

You're being a little hard on him,
aren't you?

Yeah, well, maybe you're being a little
too soft on him.

You still think we could renovate this
place?

Yeah, we could.

even have enough for the down payment.

Oh, I think my grandma would cough up
the dough.

Think about how much work it is. I got a
better idea.

What?

Use grandma's money.

Make some big money.

Yeah, right.

How?

A movie.

We come up with a story, produce it.

What do we know about making movies?

Nothing. Who does?

I got a friend at film school who says
it's a breeze.

You know what they make? People like
stories about crime and violence.

I saw this Clint Eastwood movie last
week.

They hijacked this bunch of kids. It was
great.

Kids?

That's really smart.

People would pay ransom right away for
kids.

Yeah, but they blew it in the movie,
Fred.

Yeah? Yeah, but if you did it right,
really planned it?

See, that's where they always screw up.

They're stupid. They don't plan it.

You remember that bus full of kids that
crashed?

How upset everyone was?

For a bus full of kids, you could get a
million dollars.

Easy. What the heck? Two million.

Three million, huh?

Five million.

Five million dollars from the state of
California.

Let's plan it.

See if it can work.

That's crazy.

Yeah, we are.

But what else you got to do?

It's just a game.

See if we can come up with something.

Come up with what?

A movie on a crime?

A crime.

A perfect crime.

Just like clockwork.

I got your peanut butter fix for you.

Kisses.

I'm home from work, and you two start it
up, the both of you. Fight, fight,

fight.

Just cool it.

All right, Jim, come on. You've had
enough time. What do you got for me?

I've looked through hundreds of pages,
county section maps.

I finally found the perfect place,
Chowchilla.

It's remote.

It's got plenty of escape routes.

Far from the law and just the right
size.

Taking this a little bit serious for a
game, aren't you?

This is excellent work, Jim.

Attention to detail.

I like it.

How far is this place?

It's only three hours from here.

Let's go for a ride.

This is good.

This is ridiculous.

Come on, let's go home. Come on, relax.

It's a big deal.

Man, can you believe this place is only
three hours from Portola Valley?

Too many kids.

Too many people around here and way too
much traffic.

Summer school starts in two weeks.

There'll be a lot less kids then.

Can we get out of here?

You guys are getting a little too
serious.

We'd have to have him get pretty far
from the school.

He turns on road 16.

Map this on your chart there. When he
goes down road 12, he's as far from

as possible.

Look at that guy.

Dumb as a post, I bet.

This is the place.

The place for what?

What do you think we've been cruising
this dump for?

We got this thing all damn near planned
out.

Don't we?

Damn near.

Damn near.

Are you in?

Because it's a go.

Up next, we got Tim Pearson out of chute
number four. He's riding Bambino.

And Tim's representing the Pearson Farms
today. So good luck to you, Timmy.

Okay, son.

Make me proud.

Go.

Tough luck there. Hang in next time
there, Timmy.

You're never going to win a buckle that
way.

I think you did just fine.

You'll get a buckle from me anytime.

Okay.

We'll wait to register these things
until just before.

Why? In case anybody gets a license
plate, the information will get locked

the bureaucracy.

All right, we've got to refit these
interiors. And we've got to install the

And you guys have got to get a name out
of the phone book that we can register

these things to.

We're going to do all this in a month?

We've got to finish before summer
school's out.

You got any better ideas?

Hey, uh, is it safe to do the work here
at your folks?

Let me worry about that.

Also, I got an old x -ray machine.

An x -ray machine?

Yeah, and some parachutes and some
mannequins, too.

Hey, Jim.

Why don't we wait for dinner?

Thank you.

All right, here's how I figure it.

The kids.

After we transfer them into the vans, we
drive them around until we get to the

place where we're going to hide them.

And we do have to hide them.

Where's Rick?

Mom made him stay at home, clean his
room.

We're going to do this, Jim.

Is he in?

Don't do anything I tell him.

Yeah?

I'm telling you.

Be better.

You will.

So where could you hide them? I mean,
where could you hold a bunch of kids

the ransom's delivered?

How could you be sure that they're gonna
stay put unless you're there yourself?

I am way ahead of you.

What's the matter, darling? You've been
blue.

It's nothing.

It's been nothing for three weeks now.
Come on, honey.

I hurt Tim's feelings.

I thought you liked him. I do. He asked
me at the movies.

That's nice.

I couldn't give him any answer.

Bonnie and Wendy were there and they
laughed at him.

You can still say yes if you want.

He's been avoiding me this whole time.

And summer school's almost over anyway.

You know, sometimes you feel like you'd
never get another chance at anything.

But you always do.

I promise.

Thanks, Mom.

Hold up!

Hold up!

Hold up!

Dirt's gonna collapse the trailer!

What's the problem? Dirt's gonna
collapse the trailer.

Relax.

Relax. You go down there. I'm not going
in there.

Get my toolbox.

Go get some two -by -fours out of that
lumber pile, all right?

Strong sent him a gun for an old guy.

I'll have to be on him all the time.

You know, I'll be glad

when summer school is out so that I can
put a little more time in on this place.

You've been working it too hard on both
ends. Maybe you should think about

cutting... Getting back on the driving.

I hate to admit it, but those kids are
beginning to get on my nerves.

They're getting sassier and louder every
year.

Well, you're getting older every year.

Older, Emily?

Older?

Come on.

Let's wrestle, huh?

Come on.

Yeah.

I have a good mind to take you both to
the pound.

I don't want to hear another peep out of
either one of you.

Okay, shut the door.

Perfect.

Get those extra jerry cans.

Three hours away. Man, I can taste the
adrenaline.

This is it.

We can't miss.

Come on, let's do it. We have planned it
to perfection.

It is foolproof.

Yes. We're really going to do this,
aren't we? Yes. Yes!

Okay. We picked up those kids at the
pool at four o 'clock. Let's move.

We can't back out now.

We're counting on you.

You got your gun?

John Terry, here we come.

Let's go.

Don't bunch up. One at a time. One at a
time. Come on.

All right, here we go.

Come on.

Thank you.

We're going to do this, aren't we?

Yeah, we are.

My head is pounding like crazy.

Open the door, now.

What is this, some kind of a joke? Get
in back. This is my bus. What's this all

about? I said get in back.

You want anybody hurt?

No. Do you want trouble?

No, no. Then get in back.

All right.

All right.

Everybody shut up!

Get in that bus.

State court. You listen to instructions.
