J pretty red plane j

He has his mothers eyes,

ner hair.

My face, my laugh.

First time I held him,
I knew he was my son.

All the best of me...

And his mother.

I can still see his eyes
light up

watching those fireworks.

I gave him everything a father
could give his son.

And now,
with all this searching...

Being a cop, being a father...

I still can't find my boy.

Detective, would you please
describe the last time

you saw your son.

Fourth of July, 2000.

All right, bud, I told your mom

wed meet her down by the river
for fireworks.

We better get going.

Can I bring my swim trunks?

What are you, Mr. cannonball?

You gonna get us all wet?

- Happy fourth.
- Thank you, Donna.

"Keep the home fries burning."

All right, I'll be right back.

Can I go outside
and get a balloon?

Why don't you stay here
until I come back?

All right?

And your statement says
that you-

you just turned away
for a few seconds,

and he was gone.

Flommy!

Can I have a blue one?

Yes, there's plenty
for everyone.

Hey.

Thought I told you to wait-

- there you go.

Oh! Well, you lost your balloon.

Hey, man, have you seen
my kid anywhere?

About ten years olq, light hair,
jeans, t-shirt?

Are you kiddin' me, man,
or what?

Thomas adkins!

Tommy!

Tommy!

Is it still raining?

No, it just stopped.

We've got something here.

Back up.

Whoa.

Oh, Jesus, Mary, Joseph.

Hello?

Is detective adkins there,
please?

What's wrong?

I'm going with you.

Hey.

Just wait here.

What's going on?

I don't know. I just got here.

What's that got to do
with anything?

Just trying to get the facts.

Pete, what's going on here?

Om, everybody's
been waiting for you, man,

but they wouldnt tell us
anything until you got here.

What do you got?

Not much to tell you.

Ound this laying on the body.

Will you go talk to Barb,
make sure she's okay?

Yeah, I got it.

And then we also found this.

"Keep the home fries burning.”

We don't know exactly
what we're dealing with here.

When they first brought him in,

I noticed some cranial anomalies

which suggest the boy had
some form of mental impairment.

Impairment?

Tommy wasn't-

that doesn't make any sense.

It's definitely not your son,
Tom.

Are you sure?

I mean, he's...

Exactly the same size he would-

I know I recognize that whistle.

Decomposition of the body

in relation
to where it was found,

depth, temperature,

it reflects he's been in there
a lot longer than eight years.

We're not gonna know for sure
until the tests are back,

but I'd say it was closer
to 50 years.

I know this is really difficult
for you and Barb.

If you want to do this
some other time, I understand.

No, no, I'm fine.

We missed this
at the crime scene.

Found it underneath him
in what was left of his pocket.

1958.

What about cause of death?

Were you able to determine that?

No, we got nothing.

I don't know what to say, Tom.

I'm sorry.

So what do you want me to do?

Well, secure the boay.

His parents
might still be alive.

And they would want to know.

It's not him.

Come here.

I was so sure it was.

Me too. Me too.

Why don't you show daddy
the picture you made?

Detective,

you believe Bert rogianni
kidnapped your son

because he was arrested
for two similar crimes.

Is that right?

Yes.

Based on a hunch,

lacking concrete evidence.

Why do you keep
bringing this up?

Mr. rogianni went to prison
for the other crimes

and still wouldn't confess
to your son's kidnapping.

And in the eignt years
your son's been missing,

you havent been able
to find his body.

Is that correct?

Tom?

I'm gonna go for a run.

Hey, sarge.

Some duty you pulled.

Actually, I didn't pull it.

I putin for it.

Thought the case
might be interesting.

Anybody been around
asking questions?

Nah, just a bunch of kids.

Well, keep your eyes open.

Someone might want to come back
and inspect their work.

You really think
you're gonna figure out

what happened to this kid?

I'm gonna try like hell.

Well, it suggests that the boy

was literally shoved
into the box post-mortem.

It's definitely not your son,
Tom.

I've given you
the evidence you need.

That may be so, deteclive,
but still,

the conviction on one crime
was overturned on appeal

and the government
is now considering

commuting rogianni's
death sentence.

And so you've come
to voice your opposition

fo this committee.

Is that correct?

Flommy was my son,
my responsibility,

and Bert rogianni
took him from me.

90 years is a iong time.

People remember.

People know.

J lonely me j

j but I'm afraid I

I so afraid >

j' just say you love me j

sorry to keep you waiting, Matt

it's all right, bill.

Why do I feel like

I'm being called
into the principal's office?

I got to be straight with you,
Matt

were not in high school anymore.

Defaulting on a loan isn't like

peing sent
to Mrs. Johnson's detention.

Bill, 'm gonna make a payment
real soon.

I hear you can't find a job.

Well, it's not just me.

There's no work in this town.

Maybe you should try
looking elsewhere.

I can't.

Not with Pearl's iliness
gettin' worse

and needin to be there for John.

I need to be as close to home
as possible.

I can't lose that house.

It's the only thing
holding my family together.

If this bank forecloses now,
we'll have nothing.

I can't cover for you anymore,
Matt

[wo weeks.

You can give me that.

Two weeks.

I can give you two days.

After that,
it's out of my hands.

I'm sorry, Matt.

Hey, pa.

Papal

hey, boys.

Did you guys mind your ma today?

Yes, papa.

Pearl, honey, food looks good.

You coming down?

Boys would love to see ya.

Mark, look!

Look!

"Yea, though I walk through

“the valley of the shadow
of death,

"I shall fear no evil,
for thou art with me.

“Thy rod and thy staff,
they comfort me.

"Surely goodness and mercy
shall follow me

"all the days of my life,

"and I shall dwell in the house
of the lord

forever."

Amen.

Amen.

Now, you boys get yourselves
a nice treat with this.

And Mark, see that John
doesn't lose his.

Yes, miss Betsy.

"Dearest Matthew,

“I'm so sorry for your loss
of Pearl.

"Please, don't mind Jonas,
and come to us immediately.

"Bring the boys.

Your loving aunt coral.”

Have you boys helped John pack?

Yes, sir.

Anyone need to use the restroom?

John?

Mark.

Hey.

Anywhere okay?

Yeah, anywhere is fine.

Here you are.

Hank you.

- 'Hank you.
- Thank you.

What handsome
and well-mannered boys

you have here.

Your mama must be
especially proud.

Mama's with Jesus now.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Four hamburgers, three cokes,
and a coffee, black, please.

You got a bathroom?

Mm-hmm, out back.

Order up, Sally Ann.

Damn it, Pearl,
why did you do this?

Burger's up.

You mind if I give your boys
a little something?

It's just some advertising
for the diner.

"Keep the home fries burning."

Came up with it myself.

It's kind of cute,
don't you think?

John.

Boys.

1 hope I didn't cause any harm.

No, it's just that we got
far to go, and I-

I won't have you boys
blowing these in the rambler.

I'll give them to 'em tomorrow.

Boys.

You take care of yourself.

You boys know how to be polite
and respectful, so...

Don't show me wrong.

- Yes, papa.
- Yes, papa.

Theyre here! Theyre here!

I can't believe she's gone.

= I miss her 0 much.

I want to introduce you
to my boys.

This 18 Mark.

Mark, he's real good
with woodwork these days.

Got a real talent for that.

- Hello, Mark.
- Ma'am.

= and this, this is Luke.

Luke, real book smart.

Good with animals.

Hello, Luke.

And this is John, my youngest.

1 got to pee!

I suppose it was a long trip.

You must be tired
after your journey.

Come on, now.

- Jonas.
- Matt

been a real long while.

Yeah, it has.

Hi

This is edvena.

Hi, edvena.

Youre even prettier
than your ma.

You all gonna stand there
forever,

or you gonna come in
and eat something?

I guess I can eat.

And before you could blink,
this whole table was cleared.

Your aunt coral kicked
all us men out.

I was Mia-bite
into an ear of corn.

You have-you have
never seen such a flurry.

And then your ma and I counted
all your fingers and toes.

Turns out you were perfect.

And then we brought your pa in
to see you.

I'd never seen anything
more beautiful in all my life

than you and your ma
lying on this very table, Mark.

Pa.

And I helped your ma
with you too, Luke.

You boys brought your ma
such happiness when you arrived.

What about me, aunt coral?

Did I make ma happy?

Especially you, John.

Especially you.

Now, why don't you boys
show your appreciation

and go ahead
and clear this table?

Oh, no, no, leave it.

Edvena and [ll get it.

Matthew...

Let's me and you go talk.

I admit, I was kind of expecting
a pack of wild Indians.

'Heyre good, Jonas;
They're good.

Theyre not gonna give you
a lick of trouble,

I can promise you that.

I believe you, Matt.

So it's okay?

You can keep 'em?

I'hat's just it.

I'll just speak it plain.

We can take two of the boys.

We can't keep all three.

You and coral
are the only family we got.

I cant break up the boys,
Jonas, give me a chance.

I'm asking for six months,
Jonas,

six months, maybe a year.

Just, just give me time
to get something going,

maybe even meet a woman
who can help take care of them.

Kind of like you shouldn't
have married in the first place.

What Pearl did
had nothing to do with me.

She was never right after John
was born, you know that.

Don't blame that backwards boy
of yours, neither.

Told Pearl she should
never have married you.

You watch your filthy mouth.

You count your blessings.

At least two of them boys,

they got Pearl's blood in 'em
and not yours.

I've said what I had to say.

It's Mark and Luke or none.

I

Youre the co-pilot now.

Pa, don't go!

You boys be good.

Get in the car, John.

Good-bye!

Pal pal

Here's your whistle.

Did you see this?

"Boy in the box"?

What is that?

Pete's just doing his job.

I'hat boy had a name.

Well, I'm sure if he knew it,
he'd print it.

Nothing we need to get
worked up about, right?

I'hat's my job.

Look, your job doesn't include

you getting upset
about a headline.

I'm not getting upset about it

I'm just taking care of it,
as usual.

When do you ever
bring work home?

Barb, goddamn it.

- I've got it.
- It's fine, just leave it.

- It's my fault.
- I'll take care of it.

It's fine.

There are copies.

They're just fine,
don't worry about it.

God forbid anything should get
out of place in this house.

Just leave it!

Thomas aadkins!

Rommy!

What the hell were you thinking?

What's wrong?

"Boy in the box"?

What is that?

It's a news story
like any other, Tom.

No, Pete, it isn't.

This is different.

This is a 10-year-old boy
who was found dead,

and he damn sure didn't die
to make sure your rag of a paper

doesn't go out of business.

Look, if I can create
a little buzz

for the few days
this story is fresh,

so much the better.

And if calling him the boy in
the box helps spread the word,

it's going to help you as well.

Let's try to show
some respect, huh?

Hey.

Your mother called.

Did she tell you
that she was coming?

She must have seen
Pete's article.

Anytime she sees

anything with the slightest
connection to Tommy, Jr.,

she has to make her way
over here.

I'll call her
and tell her we're okay.

No, you cant.

She's on her way, and she said
she'd be here in an hour.

When are you gonna come home?

I don't know.

I'll try to make it early.

Okay.

Look at this.

According to this inspection,

the building was started
in the spring of 1958.

Who was the contractor?

Guy named bill byrnes.

Where are you going?

= I think I know his son.

Jesus, youre talking about '58.

I was a kid.

How the hell am I supposed
to remember shit like that?

Can you give us any names?

Well, Swede was around
back then.

He was a foreman.

Other than that,
you're on your own.

Theyre probably all dead
by now, anyway.

No real names?

I told you,
they were all drifters,

only nicknames.

You ever see any kids around?

It was a construction site.

I wasnt even allowed
to hang out.

Look, guys, it's been real,
but I got to get to work.

You need some gas?

Yeah, go ahead
and fill 'er all the way up.

Papal

my boy needs a restroom.

Oh, we got an outhouse
in the back there.

How far to the nearest town?

That'd be barnstable,
15 miles or so,

just a straight shot
down 32 here.

Hanks, much obliged.

Come on, John.

Come on.

Rey, you remember the munsel
bathroom outside their house?

Uh-huh.

It's different from ours, right?

There's no flusher.

No flusher, okay, I won't flush.

It's not that you don't-
don't flush,

it's that there is no flusher.

Okay, so I won't flush.

Whoops!

You don't have to do that.

Oh, thank you.

That's sweet.

It's not a problem.

I suppose I'm gonna
have to start over again.

Guess so, huh?

You passing through?

Yeah, yeah, looking for work.

I'hat's got to be tough
with a kid in tow.

You have no idea.

I'm sure you'll be all right.

Let me know
if you need anything.

Thank you. Thank you kindly.

Hey, I don't know
where you're from,

but I don't like strangers
talking to my wife.

Papal

we don't want any trouble here.

You and that queer boy
of yours found trouble,

so you best be paying me
and moving on.

How much do I owe you?

- $9.57.
- Here's $10.

1 don't expect I'll be seeing
you this way again.

I sure hope not.

I didn't know where you were.

I know, John.

Good-bye!

John.

Hey, John.

John, I'm gonna go in here

and find us a place
to sleep tonight, all right?

You'll be able to see me

right through that barbershop
window there, okay?

Oh, uh, howdy, boss.

Uh, you want a cut?

Uh, no, not today, thanks.

I was wondering if any of you
knew a cheap place

to stay in town?

J pretty red plane in the sky j

j billowing clouds
go by and by &

my daddy taught me that song,

gave me lots of shiny gifts.

Your daddy give you shiny gifts,
boy?

You walk down this street,
and you turn left on Dixon.

Maybe if you're a good boy,

I'll get you that plane.

You can fly off
into the wild blue yonder.

I'm a-I'm a good boy.

Yes, you are.

Do any of you know is there
any work to get in town?

Yeah, they're doing
some new building

on the north side of town.

You can talk to bill byrnes.

Byrnes.

You can tell him Delaney
told you to look him up.

- Delaney.
- Yeah.

Thank you. Thank you kindly.

John?

John Wakefield.

John.

Sure is shiny, pa.

John, do you hear me?

Yes, pa.

Come on.

Wait.

Where'd you get that?

Nice man gave it to me.

Who? What man?

Where is he?

[He nice man.

I think I found us a place
to sleep tonight.

Can I go outside?

Why are you gonna stay
in the car?

'Cause I'm a good co-pilot.

What does a good co-pilot do?

A good co-pilot
never leaves his post.

All right.

Excuse me, uh, bill byrnes?

Over there.

Youre standin' arouna
like it's Christmas!

Step it up.

Bill byrnes?

Can I do for you?

I'm Matthew Wakefield.

I'm looking for work, sir.

I aint hiring no more drifters.

Too many already.

Could use another man,
and you know it.

What, you want him
to take your job?

Mind your own goddamn business.

Delaney said I should stop by.

Don't mean nothing to me.

If you want to get this thing
up on time,

youre gonna need another man.

I don't need your
calculations, college-boy.

Love you too, byrnes.

Sir, I'm sorry to bother you,
but, uh...

I need the work

I got a boy I need to feed.

You a thief?

= no, sir,
I'm a god-fearing man.

Christian, huh?

Well, what can you do,
Christian?

You name if, anything, sir.

Cement mixing and stonework?

Sir, masonry, metalwork.

Got a real talent with wood.

When can you start?

Right now, sir.

You go see the big Swede
over there.

Swede?

- That's right.
- Thank you, sir.

Sorry to bother you.

All right, let's move it!

Matthew Wakefield.

Call me Swede.

Come on, Mark.

Give it back! -

"dear Mark and Luke,

“I hope you boys are behaving
for aunt coral and uncle Jonas.

"I know you don't unaerstand
why I had to go,

“but I'll be back soon.

'I found a job in a place
where we can start over,

"be a family again.

John and I miss you two so much.

Your loving father.”

Swede, I know you don't like
to hear this, but...

The Russians
were on to something.

Mark my words, in our lifetime,

we will see men
living on the moon.

If itll make these things
lighter, I'm all for it.

Whoa-ho!

Swede, you hear that?

We just got our first complaint
from the man after one month.

Swede, you owe me a buck.

Only if you tell me why
they are lighter.

I'hat's easy.

Theyd be lighter
because on the moon,

there's a weaker force
of gravity.

Bullshit.

You're so full of it, diploma.

No, gentlemen, I read.

And with knowledge comes power.

Swede.

Give the Italian a hand.

Now, you two knock off early.

And be on time tomorrow.

We're pouring the cement.

1 need to talk to you.

All right, I'm gonna go get
drunk, you coming?

Yeah, fine.

We can't have this anymore.

He aint done no harm to nobody.

I told you when I signed on,

I ain't got no place for him.

Look, Christian,
I come to like your kid.

I'd even ask some folks,

but I don't think
they could handle his quirks.

I'm a good worker, ain't I?

Youre the best worker I got.

But you getting fired
and me getting fired

is two different things.

Now, you can come to work
tomorrow or not,

but you can't bring the kid.

- Come on.
- Okay.

Spin me, pa.

Whee!

Fiola and Kramer
toys and novelties.

Went out of business
in the early '70s.

And I looked into this.

Yeah? What'd you find out?

My best guess is that
it's some sort of toy.

Good job.

Thanks. - Yeah.

You've reached the office
of the warden

at pleasant valley state prison.

Yeah, Lisa.

It's Tom.

I want you to look into
something for me.

I just love all the work

you've put into remodeling
the house,

but I can't find a single thing.

Thought it would be nice
to mix it up.

Barbara?

Hmm?

It's okay.

I'll get something to clean it.

You know, Barbara, we've got
plenty of the plain.

I just thought it'd be nice
to mix it up.

Barbara?

Barbara?

He doesn't like anyone
to come in here.

I can't live like this anymore.

- No, you cant.
- Hello?

We'll be right there, Tom.

- How was your day?
- Pretty good.

So Barb will be down
in a minute.

Sit down;
I'll make you a cup of coffee.

You can tell me all about
that boy you found.

I want to have ommy, Jr.
Declared legally dead.

It's time, Tom.

I can't keep pretending
that he is gonna come home.

I'm not talking about this
right now.

And I'm not letting it go
this time.

We have to come
to an understanding.

I can't live like this anymore.

I want to clean out his room.

Barb, you have no idea
what you're talking about.

He wouldn't even be
that 10-year-old boy anymore.

You don't touch anything
until there is a body.

He would be 18, already a man.

I'm warning you.

Just say it.

Just say it, fom.

Just say, "my son is dead."

- Hanks, Dan.
- It's okay.

Look, I know
what you're gonna say,

put just hear me out.

You know you cant talk to him.

It's not about that.

I want to talk to him
about this kid we just found.

Yeah, sure.

You have been up my ass
ever since you heard

his death sentence
might be commuted.

Just give me five minutes.

You know I can't do that.

And besides, the last time
I gave you five minutes,

you almost put him
in the infirmary.

Hat was my son, Russell.

I know.

But I can't help you, Tom.

Please don't come here anymore.

Opening exit.

Have a good nignt.

Look, youre trying
to make this case

about a guy
who was found innocent,

who's already serving
a life sentence,

and whatever shit
you think you have on him,

he cant be tried
for it again anyway.

All right...

Someone owes me a arink

this took a lot longer
than I thought it would,

but your idea...

Is that the-

- that's the boy?

1 think it's pretty close
to what he looked like.

This is unbelievable work, Lisa.

We got to get this out
to all the channels we know.

I'monit

It's not right.

I mean, he's a good kid.

I'm tired.

I know, me too.

What's the matter, pa?

You sad?

Yeah, John, I'm sad.

Sad like mama was sad?

No, not like your mama was sad.

Okay.

Hey, Christian, I...

I wish there was something
I could do to help you.

I got to go.

I got to get out of here.

You ready to go, John?

But I'm the co-pilot, not you.

Hold on.

This might just be
your lucky night.

What are you talking about?

1 think it's pretty damn clear
what I'm talking about,

don't you think?

You just let me do the talking,
shy boy.

Hello there.

Hey.

This is your son, right?

Yeah, this is John.

Hello.

Oh, my.

Aren't you a polite little man?

We were never
properly introduced.

I'm Rose Montgomery.

Matthew Wakefield.

Hey call me diploma.

I'm glad to have a chance
to see you again.

Did you find a job?

It's so funny you should
mention that, actually,

we were just discussing
a situation that's arisen.

Papa, I'm ready
to go to bed now.

I'm sorry, am I keeping you?

No, not at all.

Christian and I were just about
to have another drink.

Christian?

Just a nickname we gave
ol' Matty boy here.

Come on, Matty.

Be a gentleman,
buy the nice lady a drink.

Let John sleep in the car.

Paradise cocktail, Mike.

Diploma, I got to get him
to bed.

Could you excuse us
just one second?

Uh, look after the boy,
would you?

What the hell are you doing?

You're looking for someone
to look after your kid,

and she's standing
right in front of you.

Diploma, she's got a husband.

Matty, I know you've seen
the way she's looking at you.

You make that woman smile,
she'll do anything you ask.

I can't.

It ain't right.

“It ain't right.”

What is right,
you losing your job?

Think about the boy.

Come on.

So you two got it
all worked out?

I believe we do.

See you tomorrow.

So can I get you a drink?

I already have one.

Are you sure this is okay,
us having a drink together?

I mean, with your husband
and all?

I'm a big girl.

You a big boy?

Papa.

I'm sorry.

1 got to get him home.

Good-bye.

If you change your mind.

Come on, John.

We've got a bit of a drive
in front of us,

so why don't you get in the back
and lay down

and go to sleep, all right?

- Okay.
- Okay.

Go on in there, lie down.

I'm just gonna cover you up,
all right?

When am I gonna see
the nice lady again?

You liked her?

Mm-hmm.

I thought she was pretty.

Yeah?

Here, 100k, you just stay put.

I'll be back in a few minutes,
okay?

Go ahead and go to sleep.

Whatever you do,
you do not leave this car, John.

John?

Come on.

That's all you got?

Papa?

Maybe we could make this...

A regular thing.

Huh?

You could, uh, give me a hand
with my boy some days.

Huh?

What? What's funny?

Well, you just got it
all figured out, don't you?

Oh, hey, come on, don't be mad.

Come on.

This was a mistake.

1 got to get back to my boy.

Come-

- Damn it!

John? John?

Have you seen my boy, my son?

No, kids arent allowed in here.

What?

My boy was just here.

Look, I don't want
any trouble, all right?

What are you talking about?

Don't lie to me.

Have you seen my son?

Not since you left with him.

John?

John?

Rose! Rose!

John!

John!

John!

John?

John.

What in god's name?

- Have you seen him?
- Who?

Have you seen my son? = no.

Hold on.

Christian,
what the hell are you-

what's wrong? - It's John.

What happened?

I can't find John.

Let me get some clothes on.
Hold on.

Johnny!

John!

I'm sorry to get you
out of bed, Mike.

It's okay, chief,
I just don't want any trouble.

Oh, don't worry.

He saw my kid.

He served all three of us.

He gave him a root beer!

All right, all right.

Mike, you leveling with me
or not?

You know I don't want kids
in that bar.

No, I wouldn't do something
crazy like that, chief.

Now, officer, that's a lie.

The boy was in the bar,

and there was another girl
in there

who could back us up on that.

What girl?

I asked you what girl?

Her name was Rose.

George's Rose?

She came in after we did.

She ordered a paradise cocktail.

You've got to remember that.

Is that true, Mikey?

No, Rose wasn't in there.
= you son of a bitch.

My boy is missing.

Youre lying through your teeth!
Hey!

Mikey, go inside.

I'hat's it, youre just gonna
let him go?

Hey, you want to come with me
to the filling station

and ask George if his wife's
been out alone?

'Cause we can do that.

Youre a real gentleman,
aren't you?

It don't matter if my son
was in the bar or not.

He's missing.

I'm just asking to give me
a few more men

to help look for him.

I'm gonna need your names.

I don't want trouble
with the law.

Sorry, Christian.

You come to the station
in the morning.

File a missing person's report.

That's it?

That's it?

My son is missing now.

All right, come on, Christian,

he's not gonna
do anything tonight.

Come on.

We'll keep looking.
We'll find him.

Christian, what are we doing
this far out?

Everybody has to come by here.

We're closed.

Thought we had an understanding.

My boy, my son's gone missing.

The retard?

Is everything all right?

Yeah, seems, uh,
the retard boy went missing.

Call him that again,

so help me god,
I'll rip your head off.

Let him go.

Christian, it's not worth it.

He don't understand.

What can we do?

You see him, you call me.

Someone comes by here with him,
you get their plates,

you call me.

I'm at birdie wheelers.

All right, consider it done.

All right, where to next?

I'm gonna take you home.

Christian.

Did you find him?

Any sign of him here?

I looked everywhere.

I called all morning for him.

Nothing's happening,
but nothing.

Did you go to the police
this morning?

Yeah, he listened to
everything I had to say, but...

I could see in his eyes
he ain't gonna do nothing.

1 got to keep searching.

I want to thank you
for being a good friend to us.

How's he doing?

I hate to see a good man
suffer like that.

You think he'll find his kid?

We have to pour the cement.

All right.

Four days ago in this very hole,

a gruesome discovery has
shocked our quiet community.

In a wooden box,
the body of a child,

a boy between the ages of eight
and ten was unearthed

at the byrnes construction site
on north Dixon.

And once again,
this town finds itself asking,

"why?"

For detective Tom adkins,

whose boy went missing
eight years ago

along with three other children,

the find
was particularly troubling.

Wxiw channel 2 news now joins
detective Tom adkins

of the barnstable police
department live at the scene.

Through my office at the
barnstable police department,

any questions should be
directed there.

Needless to say,

we have very little information
as to the identity-

- Andrews, what's up?

No, I cant deal with that
right now.

I'm here over
at the construction site

for the boy in the box
press conference.

Yeah, well, what do you
want me to do?

Get susie on it.

Help you with something, sir?

No, I was just wondering
what's going on.

They talking about
that boy they found?

Yes, sir.

Yeah, I read it
in the newspaper.

Sorry to trouble you.
= oh, it's no trouble.

Heck of a ride you got here,
huh?

Oh, thank you.

Thanks, Chris.

Well, if that doesn't get 'em,
nothing will.

Hey, sarge,
I don't know if it's anything,

put I got a plate number
on an old chevelle.

Seen it around here
a couple times.

Looked like he wanted to
snoop around but didn't dare.

All right, well...

Stay on top of it.

Hey, sarge?

About time you boys got back.

What do you got?

Phones started ringing
off the hook 20 minutes ago.

Maybe were onto something.

You get started on these.

Call dmv about that
old chevelle.

Yep, im on it.

Don't forget about Mrs. Adams.

Fflola and Kramer
toys and novelties.

My best guess
is that it's some sort of toy.

Hello?

Mrs. Adams,
this is detective adkins.

Hello?

May I help you?

Mrs. Adams?

I'm detective Tom adkins.

This 1s Pete Dunn.

We're here about
the boy we found.

You called us?

I didn't expect you so soon.

Please call me edvena.

So when uncle Matthew came back
to get the other two boys,

there was a lot of whispering
between ma and pa.

Excuse me, other boys?

John wasn't an only child?

Oh, heavens, no.

Mark, he was the eldest.

Flying was his passion.

A hero in Vietnam.

He died young, though.

Just a few years
after his father.

And the-the other son?

Luke.

Luke just sort of...

Drifted away from us.

People do that, you know.

You, um... you mentioned a home?

Uncle Matthew told everyone

that John was being
taken care of

in a place
for backward children.

Backward?

I just saw him that once,

but you could never forget him.

He was the sweetest boy.

I remember he kept showing me

this half-dollar
that someone gave him.

Such sadness.

Do you have children, detective?

That the one?

[Hat's the one.

No mistaking that, huh?

Can I help you?

Luke Wakefield?

Yes, sir.

I'm detective om adkins
from over in barnstable.

I'd like to talk to you
about your brother John.

Is there someplace maybe
we can go sit down?

Sure, yeah, we can
go right in the back here.

And all this time
you believed John was in a home?

Well, no, when I got old enough,

I asked my dad about John.

I had this idea
that I wanted to go visit him.

And that's when my dad
said to me

that John had gotten sick
and died.

Look, detective,
I got to be honest with you,

none of this
makes any sense whatsoever.

He was a good man.

Well, as you can see,
there are some...

Discrepancies
we'd like to clear up.

Now, is there anybody else

that we can talk to
about your father?

Come in, Luke.

Hese gentlemen would like to
talk to you about dad.

That'd be okay? - Well, yes.

Mrs. Wakefield,
I'm detective Tom adkins

from the barnstable
police department.

I'm sorry to say
I have some terribly sad news.

We recently found the body
of a young boy

we believe to be that of-

of John Wakefield.

Hmm.

After all this time.

Matthew would have been
80 relieved.

His boy John.

That's how we met.

Hey, Sally Ann. =- hmm?

It don't have to be perfect.

This ain't the Waldorf-astoria.

You got that right, chollie.

See you tomorrow.

We're closed.

Hi

Could you spare a coffee?

Sure.

Where are your boys?

It was very sadq, really.

Yes, ma'am.

Here.

You passed out in chollie's.

Where?

Where am I?

Well, don't worry,
you'll be fine here.

I got to get going.

When's the last time you ate?

I don't know.
It's not important.

I'm gonna fix you something.

How you gonna find your boy
if you don't know where to look?

You got any kids?

Well, he's my son.

Youre in no condition
to find anyone

until you get
your strength back.

Matthew left in a terrible state

from the guilt he felt
for not protecting his son.

That pain changed him
for some time.

Everywhere he turned,

he saw what he didn't have.

And one night,

Matthew believed
he could actually get John back.

Hey!

John, John.

John, John.

Soon after, we went back
to get Mark and Luke

to start our new lives together.

But Matthew could never shake
the guilt he felt over John.

It was with him
wherever he went.

He was a man
who loved his children,

and the loss of John
changed him forever.

Mrs. Wakefield,
did your husband ever...

Talk about any of the other men
he worked with

during his time in barnstable?

He only had one friend who
he talked about who helped him.

And this 1s him.

Matthew called him “diploma.”

Barbara.

Barb!

It was not your fault
Tommy, Jr. went missing.

Barb left that for you.

She knew you couldn't let it go.

There's-there's a lot of good

that's still left
in your life, Tom.

She's a good woman.

I don't know how she stayed
with you this long.

You can't do anything
about losing your son.

But if you lose your wife,

that ls your fault.

My best guess
is that it's some sort of toy.

Russ.

Let 'em know I'm coming.

- You better be sure about this.
- I know what I'm doing.

Yeah, I hope so,
or it's both our asses.

Remember, detective adkins,
Mr. rogianni is here

to talk about
a pending investigation.

There are rules you must follow

in accordance
with this procedure.

If you ask any questions
or make any comments

regarding
your son's disappearance,

we walk,

and we sue.

Mr. rogianni,
are you aware that the body

of a 10-year-old boy
was recently found?

I heard about it
on the television.

Could you tell me
where you were spring of 1958?

Why don't you just go ahead
and ask me

what it is
you really want to know?

Just answer his questions
the best you can.

Again, where were you
in the spring of 19587?

Tell me something.

All this torturing yourself,

all those sleepless nights,

all this caging yourself up
till you have nothing left,

what has it brought you?

I'm gonna ask you this
one last time.

Where were you in the spring...

Of 19587?

I'hat retard's been dead
and buried for 50 years.

What does that have to do
with me?

Who said anything
about him being retarded?

Newspaper, [v, I don't know.

In 1958,

you worked
for byrnes contracting.

You met a man
named Matthew Wakefield.

You've got nothing.

Matthew Wakefield had
a 10-year-old son named John.

Was that your first time,
Mr. rogianni...

That you finally figured out
a way

to lure that little boy
away from his father?

Was it the first time
you got a taste

of what it was like
to take a child?

And was it the first time you-

you gave out one of these,
Mr. rogianni?

Or should I call you diploma?

Fuck you.

Just say it.

You murdered John Wakefield.

I don't have to listen to this.

You murdered
that innocent little boy...

Detective.

And you destroyed that family.

You saw a man who was vulnerable
and weak,

and you destroyed him.

You took his son away from him
right under his nose.

I'hat boy should never have
been here in the first place.

You tell me what you dia
to that little boy!

That boy was tearing him apart!

Matthew was my friend.

I did what he couldnt.

What about the others?

You do them a favor too?

Or did you find
you were beginning to like it?

'Here was only one time
I truly enjoyed it.

There was a little boy...

Who led me to his favorite spot
underneath a tree.

And as we watched the fireworks,

I snapped his little neck.

God damn it, you son of a bitch!

Il kill you, you son of a bitch!

Come on, get him out of here!

Get him out of here!
Call the medic!

Call the medic!

This is wxiw
with local breaking news.

After a desperate search
for the last 10 years,

detective Tom adkins'
investigation has led him

fo the grim burial site
of his only son.

For many years
I have dreamt of the moment

I finally find my son.

And when you do,
detective, what then?

I'm not sure.

My biggest fear
is that when I do find him,

what's left of us
may not be enough.

I havent been able
to forgive myself,

and so I push my wife away.

I cant even look her
in the eyes,

because every time I do,

I see my mistakes.

So I take the risk
of losing everything,

not because I want to,
but because I have to.

Only then will I have
the strength

to go to my wife
and ask her for forgiveness.

And I have fo believe
that one day...

She will give it to me.
