1
00:00:01,376 --> 00:00:06,464
Previously on Medium: I don't know how to do it.

2
00:00:06,548 --> 00:00:09,092
I don't know how to fire these people.

3
00:00:09,175 --> 00:00:12,262
I want to buy back my company and my idea from you.

4
00:00:12,345 --> 00:00:13,805
The business is not for sale.

5
00:00:13,888 --> 00:00:18,309
Your idea is not for sale. You are not for sale.

6
00:00:20,228 --> 00:00:25,650
If you're still interested, I'll sell you back you company.

7
00:00:25,734 --> 00:00:27,902
If you can get together a couple of million dollars,

8
00:00:27,986 --> 00:00:31,573
We can figure out how you can pay me the balance over time.

9
00:00:31,656 --> 00:00:33,408
I'm Cynthia Keener

10
00:00:33,491 --> 00:00:35,618
I'm an investigator with Ameritips.

11
00:00:35,702 --> 00:00:38,705
I guess she's hoping I'll be able to help her.

12
00:00:38,788 --> 00:00:40,623
According to this, Cynthia Keener had a daughter

13
00:00:40,707 --> 00:00:43,668
named Susie who went missing in 1998.

14
00:00:44,544 --> 00:00:45,754
I had nothing to do with her death.

15
00:00:45,837 --> 00:00:48,256
If you think this is over, you're wrong.

16
00:00:48,339 --> 00:00:52,260
CYNTHIA: It was my job to stand up for her.

17
00:00:52,343 --> 00:00:53,553
And now I finally have.

18
00:00:54,554 --> 00:00:57,140
It' alright Allison.

19
00:00:57,724 --> 00:01:00,477
I've called the authorities.

20
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:04,230
They'll be here in a moment.

21
00:01:07,567 --> 00:01:11,029
(bird cawing)

22
00:01:17,243 --> 00:01:20,663
CYNTHIA: You should have that looked at.

23
00:01:20,747 --> 00:01:22,499
Could leave a nasty scar.

24
00:01:22,582 --> 00:01:23,500
(bag thuds on ground)

25
00:01:23,583 --> 00:01:24,876
MAN: You're late.

26
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:26,795
I was about to leave.

27
00:01:26,878 --> 00:01:28,671
Oh, I'm not sure I believe that.

28
00:01:28,755 --> 00:01:30,673
I think you'd have waited as long as you had to.

29
00:01:36,471 --> 00:01:39,015
It's all there-- unmarked bills, just like you asked.

30
00:01:39,098 --> 00:01:41,184
No tricks, no transmitters.

31
00:01:43,478 --> 00:01:45,688
Where's Bethany?

32
00:01:45,772 --> 00:01:47,982
Down there.

33
00:01:48,066 --> 00:01:49,859
(bird caws)

34
00:01:49,943 --> 00:01:52,987
Oh, my God. What have you done?

35
00:01:53,071 --> 00:01:54,656
I buried her down there an hour ago.

36
00:01:54,739 --> 00:01:56,199
Figure she has maybe...

37
00:01:56,282 --> 00:02:00,036
five or six minutes of air left.

38
00:02:12,590 --> 00:02:15,552
Bethany! Can you hear me?

39
00:02:15,635 --> 00:02:16,553
Bethany!

40
00:02:16,636 --> 00:02:18,555
Bethany, I'm coming!

41
00:02:18,638 --> 00:02:20,515
(panting)

42
00:02:20,598 --> 00:02:22,100
Bethany!

43
00:02:22,183 --> 00:02:23,560
Can you hear me?!

44
00:02:23,643 --> 00:02:26,896
Can you hear me? I'm coming!

45
00:02:26,980 --> 00:02:29,357
Bethany! Can you hear me?

46
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:30,984
(gasps)

47
00:03:19,699 --> 00:03:21,826
What do you think?

48
00:03:21,910 --> 00:03:25,538
Professional or funereal?

49
00:03:25,622 --> 00:03:26,623
(chuckles)

50
00:03:26,706 --> 00:03:29,083
Definitely professional.

51
00:03:29,167 --> 00:03:31,586
Professional undertaker, maybe.

52
00:03:31,669 --> 00:03:32,629
(laughs)

53
00:03:32,712 --> 00:03:33,796
You know what?

54
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,591
You look like the kind of guy I would sell a company to.

55
00:03:36,674 --> 00:03:38,468
Really? Well, that and $2 million

56
00:03:38,551 --> 00:03:40,136
will get me a company.

57
00:03:40,219 --> 00:03:42,597
Come on, you just need more time to get the money.

58
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,265
Terry will understand that. Today's the deadline.

59
00:03:44,349 --> 00:03:46,476
I mean, it's not like I have some of the money.

60
00:03:46,559 --> 00:03:47,644
I don't have any of the money.

61
00:03:47,727 --> 00:03:49,479
And the truth is, even if I

62
00:03:49,562 --> 00:03:53,483
do get an extension, where am I going to get this money from?

63
00:03:53,566 --> 00:03:54,984
Which tie?

64
00:03:55,068 --> 00:03:55,985
Hey.

65
00:03:56,069 --> 00:03:57,278
(whistling): Earth to Allison.

66
00:03:58,571 --> 00:04:02,033
Uh... no. N-No tie. Neither one.

67
00:04:02,116 --> 00:04:03,034
Too much.

68
00:04:03,117 --> 00:04:04,661
That's why I married you.

69
00:04:04,744 --> 00:04:05,745
What are so taken with

70
00:04:05,828 --> 00:04:07,455
on my computer there?

71
00:04:07,538 --> 00:04:10,124
I had a dream last night about Cynthia Keener.

72
00:04:10,208 --> 00:04:13,086
A "woman in prison" kind of dream?

73
00:04:13,169 --> 00:04:14,045
(laughs)

74
00:04:14,128 --> 00:04:15,630
No.

75
00:04:15,713 --> 00:04:17,298
No, it was something that took place a while ago,

76
00:04:17,382 --> 00:04:19,466
and I just found this old newspaper article

77
00:04:19,550 --> 00:04:21,010
that makes it look like it actually happened.

78
00:04:21,094 --> 00:04:22,512
Do you want to share?

79
00:04:22,595 --> 00:04:23,513
Do you really care?

80
00:04:23,596 --> 00:04:24,514
No.

81
00:04:24,597 --> 00:04:26,516
Fine, then ignore me.

82
00:04:26,599 --> 00:04:28,601
(typing)

83
00:04:32,271 --> 00:04:33,606
Hi, my name's Allison Dubois.

84
00:04:33,690 --> 00:04:35,316
This is actually the third time that I've called.

85
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:36,275
I'm trying to arrange a...

86
00:04:36,359 --> 00:04:38,319
a visit with a prisoner that you have there.

87
00:04:38,403 --> 00:04:41,155
Her name's Cynthia Keener.

88
00:04:41,239 --> 00:04:43,324
Yeah, I am calling from a city phone,

89
00:04:43,408 --> 00:04:45,368
but this is not official business.

90
00:04:45,451 --> 00:04:46,286
You don't understand my wife!

91
00:04:46,369 --> 00:04:48,746
She checks in with me three times a day;

92
00:04:48,830 --> 00:04:50,748
I haven't heard from her!

93
00:04:50,832 --> 00:04:52,542
I'm a taxpayer! I see...

94
00:04:52,625 --> 00:04:54,669
This is a crime!

95
00:04:56,629 --> 00:04:59,424
Look, all I know is, my wife has been missing

96
00:04:59,507 --> 00:05:01,551
for 12 hours, and nobody is doing a damn thing.

97
00:05:01,634 --> 00:05:02,719
Mr. Sipes? Mr. Sipes, what?

98
00:05:02,802 --> 00:05:03,761
DEVALOS: It's standard police procedure... Uh-huh.

99
00:05:03,845 --> 00:05:06,639
...to wait 36 hours before filing a missing...

100
00:05:06,723 --> 00:05:08,599
SIPES: Don't talk to me about 36 hours!

101
00:05:08,683 --> 00:05:10,226
If I'd have backed you in the election,

102
00:05:10,310 --> 00:05:11,728
I am sure that the National Guard

103
00:05:11,811 --> 00:05:15,064
would be out there right now looking for Amy.

104
00:05:22,739 --> 00:05:24,615
Okay. Um...

105
00:05:24,699 --> 00:05:26,909
I understand. So, I'll just...

106
00:05:26,993 --> 00:05:28,411
I'll just wait for your call.

107
00:05:28,494 --> 00:05:30,246
Let me give you my cell number.

108
00:05:30,329 --> 00:05:31,247
(knock on door)

109
00:05:31,330 --> 00:05:32,248
Yeah, come in.

110
00:05:32,331 --> 00:05:34,584
(door opens)

111
00:05:34,667 --> 00:05:36,502
You okay?

112
00:05:36,586 --> 00:05:39,130
Oh... you mean that little scene just now?

113
00:05:39,213 --> 00:05:41,549
I've been through worse. Just not lately.

114
00:05:41,632 --> 00:05:43,426
Who was that man?

115
00:05:43,509 --> 00:05:45,928
I thought you knew. That was Christopher Sipes.

116
00:05:46,012 --> 00:05:47,889
Why do I know that name?

117
00:05:47,972 --> 00:05:49,015
He's become a pretty big player

118
00:05:49,098 --> 00:05:51,225
in downtown Phoenix real estate the last few years.

119
00:05:51,309 --> 00:05:52,769
Has his name on a lot of buildings,

120
00:05:52,852 --> 00:05:54,437
or on the signs in front of buildings.

121
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,981
A real rags to riches story.

122
00:05:57,065 --> 00:05:59,442
Although making a lot of money hasn't made him any nicer.

123
00:05:59,525 --> 00:06:00,610
Oh, and here's a shock.

124
00:06:00,693 --> 00:06:02,445
His wife disappeared, or so he says.

125
00:06:02,528 --> 00:06:04,781
You think otherwise?

126
00:06:04,864 --> 00:06:06,282
(sighs) You're right.

127
00:06:06,365 --> 00:06:08,117
Why would anyone leave the charming Mr. Sipes

128
00:06:08,201 --> 00:06:10,119
and not tell him where they're going?

129
00:06:10,203 --> 00:06:11,454
(chuckles)

130
00:06:11,537 --> 00:06:12,955
Nonetheless, I'm going to ask Detective Scanlon

131
00:06:13,039 --> 00:06:14,582
to run her license plates

132
00:06:14,665 --> 00:06:17,585
and check her credit cards, do whatever we can

133
00:06:17,668 --> 00:06:19,462
until the police can launch an official search.

134
00:06:19,545 --> 00:06:21,464
Is there anything I can do? Hmm...

135
00:06:21,547 --> 00:06:25,009
(ringtone playing)

136
00:06:26,052 --> 00:06:27,637
Hello?

137
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:29,222
AUTOMATED VOICE: You have a collect call from an inmate

138
00:06:29,305 --> 00:06:31,641
at the Arizona State Women's Correctional Facility.

139
00:06:31,724 --> 00:06:33,643
To accept the call, please press "one."

140
00:06:33,726 --> 00:06:34,852
(beep)

141
00:06:34,936 --> 00:06:36,813
CYNTHIA: You don't want to see me.

142
00:06:36,896 --> 00:06:38,314
Cynthia.

143
00:06:38,397 --> 00:06:40,817
It's not like I have a lot of great stories to tell.

144
00:06:40,900 --> 00:06:43,444
Sun comes up. Sun goes down.

145
00:06:43,528 --> 00:06:45,404
I know because I watch the shadows

146
00:06:45,488 --> 00:06:47,657
travel across my cell wall all day.

147
00:06:47,740 --> 00:06:49,075
Now you know everything.

148
00:06:49,158 --> 00:06:50,993
Why don't you save yourself the trip?

149
00:06:51,077 --> 00:06:52,995
I had a dream about you last night.

150
00:06:53,079 --> 00:06:55,164
Was it good? Do I get out of here?

151
00:06:55,248 --> 00:06:56,666
Lie. Give me hope.

152
00:06:56,749 --> 00:06:58,334
I'm not going to tell you.

153
00:06:58,417 --> 00:07:00,711
Not unless you let me come and see you.

154
00:07:01,921 --> 00:07:03,965
(jet flying overhead)

155
00:07:06,759 --> 00:07:08,719
(sighs)

156
00:07:13,933 --> 00:07:16,144
Sorry I'm late. It's fine.

157
00:07:16,227 --> 00:07:18,646
Actually, I'm not going to be able to eat.

158
00:07:18,729 --> 00:07:21,649
I only have a few minutes.

159
00:07:21,732 --> 00:07:24,026
Thank you.

160
00:07:24,110 --> 00:07:26,195
You look anxious.

161
00:07:26,279 --> 00:07:27,864
No, no...

162
00:07:27,947 --> 00:07:29,198
Well, maybe a little.

163
00:07:29,282 --> 00:07:31,868
It's gone, Joe.

164
00:07:33,327 --> 00:07:35,037
I sold it.

165
00:07:35,121 --> 00:07:38,541
That deadline wasn't one I picked arbitrarily.

166
00:07:38,624 --> 00:07:40,543
I needed to get your venture off my books.

167
00:07:40,626 --> 00:07:43,671
I explained that to you.

168
00:07:43,754 --> 00:07:46,591
I felt I owed you the opportunity to buy the company,

169
00:07:46,674 --> 00:07:48,467
and had you been able to come up with the money,

170
00:07:48,551 --> 00:07:51,512
I'd have happily sold it to you, but...

171
00:07:51,596 --> 00:07:53,222
here we are.

172
00:07:53,306 --> 00:07:56,392
I didn't have much trouble finding a buyer.

173
00:07:56,475 --> 00:07:58,686
You should be proud, Joe.

174
00:07:58,769 --> 00:08:01,606
You've built an attractive little start-up.

175
00:08:01,689 --> 00:08:03,357
Who's the buyer?

176
00:08:03,441 --> 00:08:07,069
It's an outfit called Tesseract Industrial.

177
00:08:07,153 --> 00:08:09,238
Out of San Diego.

178
00:08:09,322 --> 00:08:10,531
Coming on like gangbusters.

179
00:08:10,615 --> 00:08:13,117
It's run by a fellow named Simon Burwell

180
00:08:13,201 --> 00:08:16,037
who's been on a bit of a buying spree.

181
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,706
What happens to me, Terry?

182
00:08:18,789 --> 00:08:22,418
Well, your contract is part of the sale, so it'll be

183
00:08:22,501 --> 00:08:26,422
up to Tesseract to either keep you on board or pay you off.

184
00:08:26,505 --> 00:08:28,174
Well, that's between you and them.

185
00:08:29,175 --> 00:08:31,260
Look...

186
00:08:31,344 --> 00:08:32,428
(sighs)

187
00:08:32,510 --> 00:08:33,429
I know how much

188
00:08:33,511 --> 00:08:36,265
this project meant to you, and I know how painful

189
00:08:36,349 --> 00:08:39,936
it must be to realize you're probably not going to be able

190
00:08:40,019 --> 00:08:41,895
to see it through to the end.

191
00:08:41,979 --> 00:08:43,606
My advice to you?

192
00:08:43,688 --> 00:08:46,817
Get a good lawyer and make them pay through the nose

193
00:08:46,901 --> 00:08:48,945
when they try to settle with you.

194
00:08:49,028 --> 00:08:53,908
Money won't get rid of all the pain, but it'll help.

195
00:08:53,991 --> 00:08:55,409
Waiter?

196
00:08:55,493 --> 00:08:56,452
WAITER: Yes, sir.

197
00:08:56,535 --> 00:08:57,912
TERRY: Anything he wants.

198
00:08:57,995 --> 00:08:59,330
(loud buzzing)

199
00:08:59,413 --> 00:09:01,457
(indistinct chattering)

200
00:09:04,502 --> 00:09:07,463
Thank you. Here you go.

201
00:09:07,546 --> 00:09:08,548
(loud buzzing)

202
00:09:13,928 --> 00:09:16,222
(indistinct chattering)

203
00:09:31,779 --> 00:09:34,949
It's wonderful to see you, too.

204
00:09:41,205 --> 00:09:43,624
I wasn't sure what you wanted, what you needed.

205
00:09:52,425 --> 00:09:54,051
(inhaling)

206
00:09:55,594 --> 00:09:58,639
You're going to make me the most popular girl on Block C.

207
00:09:58,723 --> 00:10:00,975
(laughs)

208
00:10:03,227 --> 00:10:06,689
I've been dreaming about this, and I don't know why.

209
00:10:11,277 --> 00:10:13,195
First time I met Bethany

210
00:10:13,279 --> 00:10:15,698
was when I pulled her out of that grave.

211
00:10:15,781 --> 00:10:17,867
I saw it. The man in the mask.

212
00:10:17,950 --> 00:10:20,536
The bite mark on his hand.

213
00:10:20,620 --> 00:10:23,539
The bite marks were courtesy of Bethany.

214
00:10:23,622 --> 00:10:26,417
The night he buried her, she fought back.

215
00:10:26,500 --> 00:10:29,462
She sunk her teeth in real deep.

216
00:10:29,545 --> 00:10:32,548
She wanted to hurt him, to mark him permanently.

217
00:10:32,631 --> 00:10:34,050
The way he did to her.

218
00:10:34,133 --> 00:10:36,761
They never caught him, did they?

219
00:10:36,844 --> 00:10:39,221
What about the girl?

220
00:10:39,305 --> 00:10:40,598
Did you keep in touch?

221
00:10:40,681 --> 00:10:43,684
I heard some things. Nothing good.

222
00:10:43,768 --> 00:10:45,603
The parents were quite well off

223
00:10:45,686 --> 00:10:47,396
before the kidnapping.

224
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,775
The $2 million ransom ruined them.

225
00:10:50,858 --> 00:10:52,568
The father committed suicide.

226
00:10:52,651 --> 00:10:54,612
The mother started drinking very heavily,

227
00:10:54,695 --> 00:10:57,073
started taking drugs.

228
00:10:57,156 --> 00:11:00,743
She fell asleep one night behind the wheel.

229
00:11:00,826 --> 00:11:03,454
Drove off a bridge.

230
00:11:03,537 --> 00:11:07,666
I want to say Bethany was... 15.

231
00:11:08,668 --> 00:11:10,586
And after that?

232
00:11:10,669 --> 00:11:12,922
After that, there were more stories--

233
00:11:13,005 --> 00:11:14,965
foster homes, drugs...

234
00:11:15,049 --> 00:11:17,968
maybe prostitution.

235
00:11:18,052 --> 00:11:19,804
(sighs)

236
00:11:19,887 --> 00:11:21,806
Listen, Allison.

237
00:11:21,889 --> 00:11:24,475
I don't know why you're asking me all these questions.

238
00:11:24,558 --> 00:11:26,811
I don't know why this girl is in your dreams.

239
00:11:26,894 --> 00:11:29,605
And I don't know, for that matter, why I'm in your dreams,

240
00:11:29,688 --> 00:11:32,191
but I want to make one thing clear:

241
00:11:32,274 --> 00:11:34,610
I hate it here.

242
00:11:34,693 --> 00:11:36,779
I hate my life.

243
00:11:36,862 --> 00:11:39,448
I pray every night that it'll end.

244
00:11:39,532 --> 00:11:40,908
I don't want visitors.

245
00:11:40,991 --> 00:11:43,285
I don't want friends.

246
00:11:43,369 --> 00:11:45,621
So, if you call me, I won't answer the phone.

247
00:11:45,704 --> 00:11:47,456
And I won't see you.

248
00:11:47,540 --> 00:11:50,668
(ringtone playing)

249
00:11:52,545 --> 00:11:53,462
(ringtone stops)

250
00:11:53,546 --> 00:11:55,464
It's my husband.

251
00:11:55,548 --> 00:11:58,050
Must be nice.

252
00:12:00,511 --> 00:12:02,638
Bye, Allison.

253
00:12:02,721 --> 00:12:04,140
(plastic bag rustling)

254
00:12:04,223 --> 00:12:06,600
Thanks for the things.

255
00:12:09,937 --> 00:12:11,856
("Sparks" by R yksopp playing)

256
00:12:11,939 --> 00:12:13,732
(elevator bell dings)

257
00:12:14,692 --> 00:12:15,818
(water running)

258
00:12:15,901 --> 00:12:16,986
(knocking on door)

259
00:12:17,069 --> 00:12:18,696
MAN: It's open.

260
00:12:31,083 --> 00:12:33,461
The concierge said you were looking for someone

261
00:12:33,544 --> 00:12:35,796
to show you around Phoenix.

262
00:12:38,257 --> 00:12:40,176
He thought I might know all the places

263
00:12:40,259 --> 00:12:42,178
you were interested in seeing.

264
00:12:42,261 --> 00:12:44,305
(water running)

265
00:12:50,769 --> 00:12:53,564
You in the shower?

266
00:12:53,647 --> 00:12:55,566
(water shuts off)

267
00:12:55,649 --> 00:12:57,610
Need any help?

268
00:12:57,693 --> 00:13:00,654
MAN: Nah. I'm okay.

269
00:13:00,738 --> 00:13:04,658
The donation for charity is on the nightstand.

270
00:13:09,747 --> 00:13:11,707
Can I get you a drink?

271
00:13:11,790 --> 00:13:13,709
Don't worry about me.

272
00:13:13,792 --> 00:13:16,712
Just make yourself comfortable.

273
00:13:16,795 --> 00:13:18,797
(shower door slides open)

274
00:13:23,093 --> 00:13:26,514

283
00:14:04,510 --> 00:14:05,719
(sighs)

284
00:14:14,478 --> 00:14:16,480
I thought I told you. I had another dream.

285
00:14:16,564 --> 00:14:17,940
I don't care.

286
00:14:18,023 --> 00:14:20,818
For God sakes! The only freedom I have

287
00:14:20,901 --> 00:14:22,736
in here is the freedom to decide

288
00:14:22,820 --> 00:14:25,030
whether I want to see other human beings or not.

289
00:14:25,114 --> 00:14:28,617
And you've figured out a way to take that away from me.

290
00:14:28,701 --> 00:14:29,868
Who do you think you're kidding,

291
00:14:29,952 --> 00:14:32,121
telling them this is police business?

292
00:14:32,204 --> 00:14:33,455
This isn't police business.

293
00:14:33,539 --> 00:14:36,625
No one's died, nothing's been stolen.

294
00:14:36,709 --> 00:14:40,254
Bethany has crossed paths with her kidnapper.

295
00:14:40,337 --> 00:14:43,924
Bethany recognized the bite mark on his hand.

296
00:14:44,008 --> 00:14:46,302
Cynthia, I think this is why...

297
00:14:46,385 --> 00:14:48,637
this is why I've been dreaming about her.

298
00:14:48,721 --> 00:14:51,599
I mean, she recognized him.

299
00:14:51,682 --> 00:14:54,476
Who's to say he didn't recognize her?

300
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,980
And if so, he couldn't just let her walk out of the room.

301
00:14:58,063 --> 00:15:00,608
I have been making calls all morning.

302
00:15:00,691 --> 00:15:02,818
She hasn't used her credit card,

303
00:15:02,901 --> 00:15:03,944
her cell phone.

304
00:15:04,028 --> 00:15:06,905
She hasn't picked up her mail in a week.

305
00:15:09,199 --> 00:15:11,118
(sighs)

306
00:15:11,201 --> 00:15:13,370
You know, Allison...

307
00:15:13,454 --> 00:15:17,207
after you left the last time,

308
00:15:17,291 --> 00:15:19,168
I used up all my phone privileges

309
00:15:19,251 --> 00:15:21,170
to try and get in touch with Bethany.

310
00:15:21,253 --> 00:15:23,255
When that didn't work,

311
00:15:23,339 --> 00:15:24,798
I swapped all the stuff that you brought

312
00:15:24,882 --> 00:15:26,717
and bought myself some more.

313
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:28,844
I called every old number I had for Bethany.

314
00:15:28,927 --> 00:15:30,554
Left messages.

315
00:15:30,638 --> 00:15:33,557
I called every cop,

316
00:15:33,641 --> 00:15:37,269
every parole officer, every youth counselor.

317
00:15:38,896 --> 00:15:40,814
And, you know...

318
00:15:40,898 --> 00:15:42,358
(sighs)

319
00:15:42,441 --> 00:15:45,694
...for those 40 minutes, it was like...

320
00:15:45,778 --> 00:15:48,864
I wasn't in here at all.

321
00:15:48,947 --> 00:15:51,325
Did anything come of it?

322
00:15:51,408 --> 00:15:53,994
Did you make any connections?

323
00:15:54,995 --> 00:15:57,373
No.

324
00:15:57,456 --> 00:15:59,875
(sighs)

325
00:16:01,669 --> 00:16:04,129

326
00:16:12,763 --> 00:16:14,890

327
00:16:14,973 --> 00:16:16,975
(elevator whirring)

328
00:16:18,310 --> 00:16:19,728
(elevator door opening)

329
00:16:27,653 --> 00:16:30,072
(elevator door closing, elevator whirring)

330
00:16:30,155 --> 00:16:32,616
Ah...

331
00:16:32,700 --> 00:16:35,077
(elevator door opening)

332
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:36,078
There's nothing left.

333
00:16:36,161 --> 00:16:37,079
It's all gone, man.

334
00:16:37,162 --> 00:16:38,080
You guys are done!

335
00:16:38,163 --> 00:16:41,583
(singsongy): It's all gone.

336
00:16:41,667 --> 00:16:44,962
Just have the office furniture guy give me a call

337
00:16:45,045 --> 00:16:48,507
when you get to the warehouse with a figure, all right?

338
00:16:50,968 --> 00:16:52,886
This mine or this yours?

339
00:16:52,970 --> 00:16:54,304
Well, that depends.

340
00:16:54,388 --> 00:16:55,389
Who are you?

341
00:16:55,472 --> 00:16:56,432
My name is Simon Burwell.

342
00:16:56,515 --> 00:16:57,891
I own Tesseract Industrial.

343
00:16:57,975 --> 00:16:59,393
Ah. You are?

344
00:16:59,476 --> 00:17:00,644
My name's Joe Dubois.

345
00:17:00,728 --> 00:17:02,271
That's yours.

346
00:17:02,354 --> 00:17:04,106
Just make sure you turn off

347
00:17:04,189 --> 00:17:05,566
all the lights when you're done.

348
00:17:05,648 --> 00:17:07,108
Where are you going?

349
00:17:07,192 --> 00:17:09,611
Oh, I've been told I have to hire a really good lawyer

350
00:17:09,694 --> 00:17:11,113
so I can make you pay through the nose

351
00:17:11,195 --> 00:17:13,699
when you try to settle with me.

352
00:17:13,781 --> 00:17:15,492
What if I don't want to settle with you?

353
00:17:15,576 --> 00:17:19,121
What if I want to honor your contract, have you work for me?

354
00:17:23,541 --> 00:17:26,753
My wife put you up to this?

355
00:17:26,837 --> 00:17:30,090
I mean, frankly, I could hire a mediocre engineer

356
00:17:30,174 --> 00:17:31,633
at half what you're going to cost me

357
00:17:31,717 --> 00:17:33,469
to see this project through to market,

358
00:17:33,552 --> 00:17:36,430
but I'd rather have a great engineer.

359
00:17:36,513 --> 00:17:37,681
You know, I'd rather have the guy

360
00:17:37,765 --> 00:17:39,141
who cooked the whole thing up.

361
00:17:39,224 --> 00:17:40,934
I hear a "but" in there.

362
00:17:41,018 --> 00:17:42,144
Where's the "but"?

363
00:17:42,227 --> 00:17:43,353
No, no. No "buts."

364
00:17:43,437 --> 00:17:45,606
None of consequence, anyways.

365
00:17:45,689 --> 00:17:46,774
How do you feel about the ocean?

366
00:17:46,857 --> 00:17:49,777
Are you going to drown me if I don't go to work for you?

367
00:17:49,860 --> 00:17:51,361
(laughs)

368
00:17:51,445 --> 00:17:53,822
We're in San Diego, Joe.

369
00:17:53,906 --> 00:17:55,365
We're all in San Diego.

370
00:17:55,449 --> 00:17:56,992
It's beautiful.

371
00:17:57,076 --> 00:17:58,494
You know, it's where we started,

372
00:17:58,577 --> 00:17:59,995
and it's, uh, it's where we're staying,

373
00:18:00,078 --> 00:18:01,371
and it's where you got to be

374
00:18:01,455 --> 00:18:02,498
if you want to stay with your baby.

375
00:18:02,581 --> 00:18:05,042
I've got a daughter who's halfway through high school.

376
00:18:05,125 --> 00:18:07,628
My wife works for the local DA.

377
00:18:07,711 --> 00:18:09,671
We have great schools.

378
00:18:09,755 --> 00:18:11,673
I don't know what kind of work your wife does,

379
00:18:11,757 --> 00:18:13,091
but if she's good, we could throw our weight around,

380
00:18:13,175 --> 00:18:14,051
we could make some calls.

381
00:18:14,134 --> 00:18:16,678
We're a big presence in San Diego.

382
00:18:16,762 --> 00:18:18,514
It's not that simple.

383
00:18:18,597 --> 00:18:20,015
It is.

384
00:18:21,433 --> 00:18:22,559
We'll buy your house here.

385
00:18:22,643 --> 00:18:24,019
We'll help you find a house there.

386
00:18:24,102 --> 00:18:25,729
You know, we do this all the time.

387
00:18:27,064 --> 00:18:28,649
Did I mention the ocean?

388
00:18:30,776 --> 00:18:33,320
SCANLON: Special delivery for Mrs. Dubois.

389
00:18:33,403 --> 00:18:34,321
What's this?

390
00:18:34,404 --> 00:18:35,447
It's all our files

391
00:18:35,531 --> 00:18:37,741
on the Bethany Simmons' kidnapping from 11 years ago.

392
00:18:37,825 --> 00:18:38,826
I thought maybe you'd want

393
00:18:38,909 --> 00:18:40,202
to look through those.

394
00:18:40,285 --> 00:18:41,662
Thanks.

395
00:18:41,745 --> 00:18:43,539
I appreciate this.

396
00:18:43,622 --> 00:18:44,665
I appreciate all of this,

397
00:18:44,748 --> 00:18:47,584
especially knowing how busy you are running around

398
00:18:47,668 --> 00:18:50,045
looking for that hothead Christopher Sipes' wife.

399
00:18:50,128 --> 00:18:51,672
Manny didn't tell you?

400
00:18:53,298 --> 00:18:54,383
All that went away.

401
00:18:54,466 --> 00:18:56,552
Ol' hothead phoned this morning.

402
00:18:56,635 --> 00:18:58,428
Turns out the wife's okay.

403
00:18:58,512 --> 00:19:01,640
She called him last night from a resort in Ixtapa, Mexico.

404
00:19:01,723 --> 00:19:03,684
Just felt the two of them needed a little break.

405
00:19:03,767 --> 00:19:06,395
Are you saying that this woman left the country

406
00:19:06,478 --> 00:19:07,729
without telling her husband?

407
00:19:07,813 --> 00:19:09,898
That so hard to believe? You met the guy.

408
00:19:09,982 --> 00:19:11,441
Frankly, I think she showed remarkable restraint

409
00:19:11,525 --> 00:19:13,569
by staying in the same hemisphere.

410
00:19:17,489 --> 00:19:19,741
Hello?

411
00:19:19,825 --> 00:19:21,535
I'm home.

412
00:19:21,618 --> 00:19:23,245
It's about time.

413
00:19:23,328 --> 00:19:24,621
Your dinner's in the fridge.

414
00:19:24,705 --> 00:19:25,747
Ah...

415
00:19:25,831 --> 00:19:26,790
Where've you been?

416
00:19:26,874 --> 00:19:29,084
I was about to send out the Phoenix Mounties.

417
00:19:29,167 --> 00:19:31,461
Mm, bookstore.

418
00:19:31,545 --> 00:19:32,796
Mm. Hmm.

419
00:19:33,797 --> 00:19:35,424
(drop keys on table)

420
00:19:35,507 --> 00:19:37,885
Who went to the Grand Canyon?

421
00:19:37,968 --> 00:19:39,970
Nobody we know.

422
00:19:41,013 --> 00:19:42,431
"I have your daughter.

423
00:19:42,514 --> 00:19:44,975
"I will return her in exchange for $2 million.

424
00:19:45,058 --> 00:19:47,895
Contact the police and she will die."

425
00:19:47,978 --> 00:19:48,896
(shudders)

426
00:19:48,979 --> 00:19:50,314
Yeah, ransom note.

427
00:19:50,397 --> 00:19:52,149
Pretty cute, huh?

428
00:19:52,232 --> 00:19:54,735
11 years ago, Bethany Simmons' kidnapper

429
00:19:54,818 --> 00:19:56,278
sent this note to her parents.

430
00:19:56,361 --> 00:19:58,447
The police recovered a partial fingerprint,

431
00:19:58,530 --> 00:20:00,741
but they could never figure out who it belonged to.

432
00:20:00,824 --> 00:20:02,743
So he just got away with $2 million?

433
00:20:02,826 --> 00:20:04,244
Yep.

434
00:20:06,204 --> 00:20:07,873
Ooh. What did you get,

435
00:20:07,956 --> 00:20:09,958
a set of encyclopedias?

436
00:20:15,547 --> 00:20:18,008
What's with all these books on San Diego?

437
00:20:18,091 --> 00:20:21,303
Well, I met my new boss today.

438
00:20:22,721 --> 00:20:24,181
What do you want me to say?

439
00:20:24,264 --> 00:20:25,307
Well, I don't know, Allison.

440
00:20:25,390 --> 00:20:26,475
What do you want me to say?

441
00:20:26,558 --> 00:20:27,851
A guy offers me a job

442
00:20:27,935 --> 00:20:29,436
doing something that I desperately want to do

443
00:20:29,519 --> 00:20:31,188
at a time in history when no one,

444
00:20:31,271 --> 00:20:33,649
no one is getting offered any kind of a job.

445
00:20:33,732 --> 00:20:35,984
And, yeah, holy crap, there's a little, you know,

446
00:20:36,068 --> 00:20:37,486
there's some inconvenience and there's,

447
00:20:37,569 --> 00:20:39,488
you know, some sacrifice involved.

448
00:20:39,571 --> 00:20:40,489
No, you're right, you're right.

449
00:20:40,572 --> 00:20:42,991
All right, you know, I'm sorry I brought it up.

450
00:20:43,075 --> 00:20:44,451
Come on, that's not fair.

451
00:20:44,534 --> 00:20:46,536
I mean, Ariel's going to be a junior next year.

452
00:20:46,620 --> 00:20:47,371
She's going to be...

453
00:20:47,454 --> 00:20:49,331
she's going to be applying for college

454
00:20:49,414 --> 00:20:51,124
in two years. Okay, you're not saying anything

455
00:20:51,208 --> 00:20:52,334
that I didn't say.

456
00:20:52,417 --> 00:20:53,961
And, you know, I have a job, too.

457
00:20:54,044 --> 00:20:56,338
Do you think I forgot?

458
00:20:56,421 --> 00:20:58,674
He said he'd help with that.

459
00:20:58,757 --> 00:21:00,008
(laughs incredulously)

460
00:21:00,092 --> 00:21:01,468
Uh-huh.

461
00:21:01,551 --> 00:21:03,762
That's what I did.

462
00:21:05,347 --> 00:21:09,017
I just... I don't think that we can just say no.

463
00:21:09,101 --> 00:21:12,312
I mean, it might be a beautiful,

464
00:21:12,396 --> 00:21:14,564
grand, wonderful adventure.

465
00:21:14,648 --> 00:21:18,568
New house, new climate, new friends.

466
00:21:18,652 --> 00:21:21,697
There are worse things.

467
00:21:21,780 --> 00:21:24,866
No. I hear that.

468
00:21:24,950 --> 00:21:27,369
I just... I want you to sleep on it.

469
00:21:27,452 --> 00:21:28,996
I mean,  I  want to sleep on it.

470
00:21:35,627 --> 00:21:36,837
That's right, Mr. Devalos, I, uh,

471
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:38,213
just got off the phone with her.

472
00:21:38,296 --> 00:21:41,216
Mexico. Ixtapa.

473
00:21:41,299 --> 00:21:43,427
What did she say? Um...

474
00:21:43,510 --> 00:21:45,554
She said that she needed a little bit of time

475
00:21:45,637 --> 00:21:50,559
to think about us, think about our marriage.

476
00:21:50,642 --> 00:21:53,020
I don't know. My head is spinning.

477
00:21:53,103 --> 00:21:54,396
I'm upset.

478
00:21:54,479 --> 00:21:56,732
I'm embarrassed.

479
00:21:56,815 --> 00:22:00,652
I know, I made an ass of myself in your office.

480
00:22:01,778 --> 00:22:03,071
No, no.

481
00:22:03,155 --> 00:22:05,073
You have nothing to be sorry for.

482
00:22:05,157 --> 00:22:08,493
I... apologize.

483
00:22:10,662 --> 00:22:13,915
I guess the important thing is, um...

484
00:22:13,999 --> 00:22:16,918
my wife's just fine.

485
00:22:17,002 --> 00:22:18,420
(gasps)

486
00:22:27,721 --> 00:22:29,097
Wait a second. Now you're telling me

487
00:22:29,181 --> 00:22:31,600
that Christopher Sipes' wife Amy has been kidnapped?

488
00:22:31,683 --> 00:22:33,935
Yes, sir, and I'm almost certain that she was taken

489
00:22:34,019 --> 00:22:36,229
by the same man who abducted Bethany Simmons 11 years ago.

490
00:22:38,190 --> 00:22:40,442
The ransom note is almost identical to this one.

491
00:22:40,525 --> 00:22:41,902
And not only that.

492
00:22:41,985 --> 00:22:43,945
I think that the kidnapper may have recently

493
00:22:44,029 --> 00:22:46,615
crossed paths with Bethany Simmons.

494
00:22:46,698 --> 00:22:48,742
I think he recognized her.

495
00:22:48,825 --> 00:22:51,620
And I think he did something terrible to her.

496
00:22:51,703 --> 00:22:53,455
Well, that's all very interesting, Allison,

497
00:22:53,538 --> 00:22:55,248
except for one thing.

498
00:22:55,332 --> 00:22:57,250
Christopher Sipes has never contacted us

499
00:22:57,334 --> 00:22:58,627
about any kidnapping.

500
00:22:58,710 --> 00:22:59,920
Of course not.

501
00:23:00,003 --> 00:23:01,797
He's afraid to.

502
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:03,924
Read that card again.

503
00:23:05,759 --> 00:23:08,512
"Contact the police and she will die."

504
00:23:08,595 --> 00:23:09,721
SIPES: This is ridiculous.

505
00:23:09,805 --> 00:23:10,931
Amy is fine.

506
00:23:11,014 --> 00:23:12,474
I discussed this with you yesterday.

507
00:23:12,557 --> 00:23:14,601
She's-she's in Mexico.

508
00:23:14,684 --> 00:23:16,144
And we heard you, but if, by chance,

509
00:23:16,228 --> 00:23:18,647
she wasn't fine, if, by chance,

510
00:23:18,730 --> 00:23:21,358
there was something else going on...

511
00:23:21,441 --> 00:23:22,442
Well, there's nothing else going on,

512
00:23:22,526 --> 00:23:24,361
other than she's looking for a little bit of peace,

513
00:23:24,444 --> 00:23:25,362
little bit of solitude.

514
00:23:25,445 --> 00:23:27,656
Then would you mind terribly if we contacted her,

515
00:23:27,739 --> 00:23:28,907
just to confirm that?

516
00:23:28,990 --> 00:23:31,701
Yeah. In fact, I would.

517
00:23:31,785 --> 00:23:35,997
The woman wants to be left alone.

518
00:23:36,081 --> 00:23:38,416
She's trying to decide whether or not she wants

519
00:23:38,500 --> 00:23:39,876
to be married to me, all right?

520
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:41,545
So, I think you two would understand

521
00:23:41,628 --> 00:23:44,005
that I don't want to upset her. I don't want to jeopardize that.

522
00:23:44,089 --> 00:23:47,008
If you'd like, when she gets back,

523
00:23:47,092 --> 00:23:48,343
I'll have her call your office.

524
00:23:48,426 --> 00:23:50,846
So...

525
00:23:50,929 --> 00:23:53,014
unless there's anything else, you guys...

526
00:23:53,098 --> 00:23:55,142
Actually, there is.

527
00:23:55,225 --> 00:23:57,185
We don't believe that your wife is spending time alone.

528
00:23:57,269 --> 00:23:58,395
We think she may have been abducted.

529
00:23:58,478 --> 00:23:59,646
We think the man who took her

530
00:23:59,729 --> 00:24:01,064
may have kidnapped someone else.

531
00:24:01,148 --> 00:24:03,817
Mr. Sipes, if you won't involve the authorities

532
00:24:03,900 --> 00:24:06,570
with your wife's case, then it's far less likely

533
00:24:06,653 --> 00:24:08,530
we'll ever know what happened to this other victim.

534
00:24:08,613 --> 00:24:12,617
I'm sorry to hear that, but w-w-what do you want me to say?

535
00:24:12,701 --> 00:24:14,870
My wife is not missing.

536
00:24:14,953 --> 00:24:17,164
So there's no case in which to involve you.

537
00:24:20,625 --> 00:24:21,877
(TV playing indistinctly)

538
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:23,253
Hey.

539
00:24:23,336 --> 00:24:24,546
I'm home.

540
00:24:24,629 --> 00:24:26,673
You want to hear something weird?

541
00:24:26,756 --> 00:24:30,051
I want to the pizza store and they were all out of pizza.

542
00:24:30,135 --> 00:24:32,971
He gave me this empty pizza box to take home

543
00:24:33,054 --> 00:24:35,557
so I would stop crying.

544
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:36,558
(gasps)

545
00:24:36,641 --> 00:24:37,934
Look, he tricked me.

546
00:24:38,018 --> 00:24:39,436
That's not funny.

547
00:24:39,519 --> 00:24:40,896
Bad Mommy, right?

548
00:24:40,979 --> 00:24:42,105
Oh. Ooh, bad Mommy.

549
00:24:42,189 --> 00:24:44,191
Uh-uh.

550
00:24:44,274 --> 00:24:46,193
Hey, honey, where's Ariel and your daddy?

551
00:24:46,276 --> 00:24:48,069
Well, Ariel's in her room,

552
00:24:48,153 --> 00:24:50,655
and well, Daddy's packing for California.

553
00:24:52,407 --> 00:24:55,160
Daddy's going to California?

554
00:24:57,829 --> 00:25:00,081
California? I thought we had this conversation.

555
00:25:00,165 --> 00:25:02,709
Well, we said we'd sleep on it, right?

556
00:25:02,792 --> 00:25:05,378
Okay, so how did you sleep?

557
00:25:05,462 --> 00:25:08,006
I slept pretty soundly, actually pretty good.

558
00:25:08,089 --> 00:25:10,258
I woke up pretty much convinced it didn't make a lot of sense

559
00:25:10,342 --> 00:25:12,594
to work for a company that was based in San Diego.

560
00:25:12,677 --> 00:25:14,930
I mean, not if they were going to make me work there, too.

561
00:25:15,013 --> 00:25:17,140
You know? 'Cause we got our, you know, we got our roots here

562
00:25:17,224 --> 00:25:20,602
and the kids and the family and your job and all that, so...

563
00:25:20,685 --> 00:25:22,479
Okay, that's kind of how I slept, too.

564
00:25:22,562 --> 00:25:23,813
So why are you going to California?

565
00:25:23,897 --> 00:25:25,106
'Cause this guy

566
00:25:25,190 --> 00:25:26,608
Simon Burwell called me.

567
00:25:26,691 --> 00:25:29,736
I guess he didn't sleep as soundly as we did.

568
00:25:29,819 --> 00:25:31,613
Well, he didn't call. His office called.

569
00:25:31,696 --> 00:25:35,283
I guess he's, you know, he's got a proposition for me.

570
00:25:35,367 --> 00:25:39,329
He wants to buy me lunch tomorrow in San Diego.

571
00:25:39,412 --> 00:25:42,082
He sent me, you know, a first- class ticket and everything.

572
00:25:42,165 --> 00:25:44,584
Okay, but if you're not interested...

573
00:25:44,668 --> 00:25:46,461
See, that is the difference between you and me.

574
00:25:46,544 --> 00:25:49,631
See, I suspect a lot, but I know very little.

575
00:25:49,714 --> 00:25:51,967
It's just a proposition.

576
00:25:52,050 --> 00:25:56,304
I mean, there are almost, like, no jobs out there.

577
00:25:56,388 --> 00:25:59,683
How do I... how do I not even listen to this guy?

578
00:25:59,766 --> 00:26:03,728
I made it very clear that this family is not moving.

579
00:26:03,812 --> 00:26:06,856
Okay, so just let him woo you over the phone.

580
00:26:06,940 --> 00:26:08,858
The whole trip is going to take, like, six hours.

581
00:26:08,942 --> 00:26:10,485
I'll be home before dinner.

582
00:26:10,568 --> 00:26:12,153
Speaking of which...

583
00:26:12,237 --> 00:26:13,446
It's in the kitchen.

584
00:26:13,530 --> 00:26:14,614
It's the round thing in the square box.

585
00:26:14,698 --> 00:26:16,074
Excellent. My favorite.

586
00:26:32,924 --> 00:26:34,634
"I buried your wife an hour ago.

587
00:26:34,718 --> 00:26:38,555
She has approximately five minutes of air left."

588
00:26:38,638 --> 00:26:40,682
(gun cocking)

589
00:26:43,768 --> 00:26:45,687
Look, I don't... I don't understand.

590
00:26:45,770 --> 00:26:47,689
I-I did what you said. I brought the money.

591
00:26:49,733 --> 00:26:52,152
(gasping)

592
00:26:55,613 --> 00:26:57,657
(doorbell ringing)

593
00:26:59,951 --> 00:27:02,078
What the hell are you doing here?

594
00:27:02,162 --> 00:27:03,496
I'm sorry. I just had to make sure

595
00:27:03,580 --> 00:27:04,873
I got to you before you left.

596
00:27:04,956 --> 00:27:07,167
Left? Left for where?

597
00:27:07,250 --> 00:27:08,752
To pay the ransom.

598
00:27:10,462 --> 00:27:13,214
You know what I'm talking about, don't you?

599
00:27:13,298 --> 00:27:14,549
Mr. Sipes?

600
00:27:14,632 --> 00:27:17,510
Do you know who I am? Do you know what I do?

601
00:27:17,594 --> 00:27:20,680
I know who you say you are.

602
00:27:20,764 --> 00:27:23,391
I know what you purport to be.

603
00:27:23,475 --> 00:27:25,518
I already saw everything that's going to happen.

604
00:27:25,602 --> 00:27:27,645
The spot in the desert where it all takes place.

605
00:27:27,729 --> 00:27:29,356
The two green duffle bags

606
00:27:29,439 --> 00:27:32,942
that you're going to use to carry the money.

607
00:27:33,026 --> 00:27:34,611
The kidnapper is going to double-cross you.

608
00:27:34,694 --> 00:27:37,364
When you give him those bags, he's going to shoot you.

609
00:27:37,447 --> 00:27:40,116
And he's going to leave your wife there to die.

610
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,577
Please, let me help you.

611
00:27:42,660 --> 00:27:46,122
Call my boss. Tell him everything you know.

612
00:27:46,206 --> 00:27:49,167
Do you know what I do for a living, Mrs. Dubois?

613
00:27:49,250 --> 00:27:51,544
I buy and I sell real estate.

614
00:27:51,628 --> 00:27:55,090
I do it without lawyers, without bankers, without brokers.

615
00:27:55,173 --> 00:27:57,175
Just me.

616
00:27:57,258 --> 00:28:00,220
Staring into the eyes of whoever it is I'm doing business with.

617
00:28:00,303 --> 00:28:03,098
And that's what got me here.

618
00:28:03,181 --> 00:28:07,143
Now, I'm not admitting that someone has taken my wife.

619
00:28:07,227 --> 00:28:09,896
But if someone ever did...

620
00:28:09,979 --> 00:28:14,109
I'd look them in the eye, ask them what they wanted,

621
00:28:14,192 --> 00:28:17,445
then make the best damn deal that I could.

622
00:28:17,529 --> 00:28:20,949
Now, maybe they'd shoot me...

623
00:28:21,032 --> 00:28:22,617
but I doubt it.

624
00:28:22,700 --> 00:28:25,662
It's bad business.

625
00:28:25,745 --> 00:28:27,997
There's no upside.

626
00:28:28,081 --> 00:28:32,710
But you wouldn't understand that.

627
00:28:32,794 --> 00:28:35,505
That's why I live in this big house

628
00:28:35,588 --> 00:28:38,258
and you drive that piece of crap that you do.

629
00:28:38,341 --> 00:28:41,719
Now, get off of my front porch.

630
00:28:46,558 --> 00:28:48,560
(ringtone playing)

631
00:28:49,811 --> 00:28:50,895
Hello?

632
00:28:50,979 --> 00:28:52,605
AUTOMATED VOICE: You have a collect call from an inmate

633
00:28:52,689 --> 00:28:55,150
at the Arizona State Women's Correctional Facility.

634
00:28:55,233 --> 00:28:57,318
To accept the call, please press "one."

635
00:28:57,402 --> 00:28:58,653
(beep)

636
00:28:58,736 --> 00:28:59,821
CYNTHIA: She called!

637
00:28:59,904 --> 00:29:00,864
Bethany?

638
00:29:00,947 --> 00:29:02,782
Yeah. Bethany. She called.

639
00:29:02,866 --> 00:29:06,119
Her parole officer gave her the message and she called.

640
00:29:06,202 --> 00:29:07,704
You're kidding. What did she say?

641
00:29:07,787 --> 00:29:08,872
Where has she been?

642
00:29:08,955 --> 00:29:11,499
Off the wagon, doing drugs, worse.

643
00:29:11,583 --> 00:29:13,835
She wanted me to know she was on top of it.

644
00:29:13,918 --> 00:29:18,173
She started meetings yesterday. She's 24 hours clean and sober

645
00:29:18,256 --> 00:29:20,008
and she sounded pretty positive.

646
00:29:20,091 --> 00:29:21,176
Well, that's great.

647
00:29:21,259 --> 00:29:23,470
I told her that, um,

648
00:29:23,553 --> 00:29:28,349
if she, uh, you know, felt like coming by, I'd like to see her.

649
00:29:28,433 --> 00:29:33,146
And, um, same goes for you, if, you know,

650
00:29:33,229 --> 00:29:36,691
you'd like to drop by and visit.

651
00:29:36,774 --> 00:29:38,485
Of course.

652
00:29:38,568 --> 00:29:40,361
Okay. I got to go.

653
00:29:40,445 --> 00:29:42,197
Oh, Cynthia.

654
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:44,657
Thanks for calling.

655
00:29:44,741 --> 00:29:46,618
Yeah, okay. Bye.

656
00:29:49,579 --> 00:29:52,499
Mr. Burwell.

657
00:29:52,582 --> 00:29:54,209
Sorry. Am I late?

658
00:29:54,292 --> 00:29:56,085
No, no. No, you're early. Oh, good.

659
00:29:56,169 --> 00:29:57,337
I'm just earlier.

660
00:29:57,420 --> 00:29:58,588
Okay.

661
00:29:58,671 --> 00:29:59,756
Please call me Simon.

662
00:29:59,839 --> 00:30:03,551
Simon. Thank you. Thank you.

663
00:30:03,635 --> 00:30:05,720
Did I mention the ocean?

664
00:30:05,803 --> 00:30:10,266
I just, uh... Oh, God.

665
00:30:10,350 --> 00:30:12,936
I don't know how I'm going to make this work.

666
00:30:13,019 --> 00:30:14,687
It's a family thing, right? Yeah.

667
00:30:14,771 --> 00:30:17,565
Moving? I get that.

668
00:30:17,649 --> 00:30:20,401
I just... You know, I really hate the idea

669
00:30:20,485 --> 00:30:21,569
of doing this without you.

670
00:30:21,653 --> 00:30:24,989
I don't know what to tell you.

671
00:30:25,073 --> 00:30:26,407
All right. Okay.

672
00:30:26,491 --> 00:30:28,284
We're engineers.

673
00:30:28,368 --> 00:30:30,078
We're supposed to be problem solvers.

674
00:30:30,161 --> 00:30:31,412
Solution brokers.

675
00:30:31,496 --> 00:30:34,082
Let me... let me hit you with a potential solution.

676
00:30:34,165 --> 00:30:37,377
All right? You tell me what you think.

677
00:30:37,460 --> 00:30:38,586
Don't leave Phoenix.

678
00:30:38,670 --> 00:30:41,130
My God, you're a genius.

679
00:30:41,214 --> 00:30:42,257
Yeah, hold that thought.

680
00:30:42,340 --> 00:30:44,425
What I meant to say was, um...

681
00:30:44,509 --> 00:30:46,052
Don't have your family leave Phoenix.

682
00:30:46,135 --> 00:30:47,929
You know, they stay put. You come here.

683
00:30:48,012 --> 00:30:49,556
Like you did today. You get on a plane.

684
00:30:49,639 --> 00:30:51,099
You do your work. Finish your work.

685
00:30:51,182 --> 00:30:52,475
You get back on a plane.

686
00:30:52,559 --> 00:30:54,602
So, I would work here for, like, five days a week?

687
00:30:54,686 --> 00:30:55,478
Yeah.

688
00:30:55,562 --> 00:30:56,938
A lot of people do it.

689
00:30:57,021 --> 00:30:58,606
Yeah, I know. I know a lot of people do it.

690
00:30:58,690 --> 00:31:00,608
I just... I don't think that I could.

691
00:31:00,692 --> 00:31:03,278
Being a husband and a father, you know, just for weekends,

692
00:31:03,361 --> 00:31:05,780
I don't think that's going to work for us.

693
00:31:05,863 --> 00:31:07,574
I don't think that's going to work for me.

694
00:31:07,657 --> 00:31:11,035
All right. Okay. Let me reengineer this.

695
00:31:11,119 --> 00:31:13,997
What if I said I want you in San Diego three days a week?

696
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:15,456
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday.

697
00:31:15,540 --> 00:31:17,834
Then Monday, Friday, you stay in Phoenix,

698
00:31:17,917 --> 00:31:19,294
telecommute from home.

699
00:31:19,377 --> 00:31:20,920
Tesseract will pay all your travel,

700
00:31:21,004 --> 00:31:23,298
set you up with an apartment here.

701
00:31:23,381 --> 00:31:24,799
And that way, you see your kids.

702
00:31:24,882 --> 00:31:26,467
See your wife.

703
00:31:26,551 --> 00:31:29,512
And you get to finish what you started.

704
00:31:29,596 --> 00:31:33,600
And... And I will still throw in the ocean.

705
00:31:36,686 --> 00:31:38,813
(door opening) JOE: I'm home!

706
00:31:38,896 --> 00:31:40,440
Daddy's home!

707
00:31:40,523 --> 00:31:41,816
Hey. Hey.

708
00:31:41,899 --> 00:31:43,568
I told you I would be home before dinner.

709
00:31:44,736 --> 00:31:45,653
Hey, what's in the bag?

710
00:31:45,737 --> 00:31:46,821
What's in the bag?

711
00:31:46,904 --> 00:31:49,490
Oh, oh, oh...

712
00:31:51,909 --> 00:31:53,661
San Diego?

713
00:31:53,745 --> 00:31:57,081
I got one for everyone.

714
00:32:02,712 --> 00:32:05,048
You have to admit, this man is twisting himself

715
00:32:05,131 --> 00:32:06,674
into a pretzel to make this thing work.

716
00:32:06,758 --> 00:32:08,843
Okay, I admit it. Do I have to like it, too?

717
00:32:08,926 --> 00:32:11,554
Allison, this is a chance for me to see this thing through.

718
00:32:11,638 --> 00:32:13,056
To its completion.

719
00:32:13,139 --> 00:32:14,849
And this means everything to me.

720
00:32:14,932 --> 00:32:15,683
No, I know that.

721
00:32:15,767 --> 00:32:19,145
This could mean everything to our future.

722
00:32:19,228 --> 00:32:22,023
And it's a chance for me to keep working.

723
00:32:22,106 --> 00:32:25,068
I don't think you understand how bleak it is out there.

724
00:32:25,151 --> 00:32:26,527
No, I do. Okay, then.

725
00:32:26,611 --> 00:32:28,863
Well, tell me that you're okay with this.

726
00:32:28,946 --> 00:32:31,658
I'm okay with this.

727
00:32:31,741 --> 00:32:33,076
Really? 'Cause you don't look okay, Allison.

728
00:32:33,159 --> 00:32:33,951
I mean, I really...

729
00:32:34,035 --> 00:32:36,371
I don't think that you truly understand.

730
00:32:36,454 --> 00:32:39,082
I understand. I understand. Three nights and three days,

731
00:32:39,165 --> 00:32:41,417
each and every week, you're not going to be here.

732
00:32:41,501 --> 00:32:43,711
And it's... It's not that I'm afraid

733
00:32:43,795 --> 00:32:46,422
that my life is going to get that much harder.

734
00:32:46,506 --> 00:32:49,926
I'm just sad about all the things you're going to miss.

735
00:32:50,009 --> 00:32:52,970
The homework you're not going to be able to help with.

736
00:32:53,054 --> 00:32:54,722
The tucking in, the kisses good night

737
00:32:54,806 --> 00:32:56,557
you're not going to be able to give them.

738
00:32:56,641 --> 00:32:57,517
But I get it.

739
00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:59,394
I get all the rest of it.

740
00:32:59,477 --> 00:33:01,646
You have a dream. We got a mortgage to pay.

741
00:33:01,729 --> 00:33:02,772
I get that.

742
00:33:02,855 --> 00:33:06,859
And even though I'm sad for them, and I'm sad for me,

743
00:33:06,943 --> 00:33:08,861
I really am happy for you.

744
00:33:08,945 --> 00:33:11,572
You just can't see that.

745
00:33:11,656 --> 00:33:14,242
Or maybe I can't show that to you right now,

746
00:33:14,325 --> 00:33:15,660
and I'm sorry about that.

747
00:33:21,833 --> 00:33:23,584
Are you awake?

748
00:33:23,668 --> 00:33:25,545
(quietly): N... No.

749
00:33:25,628 --> 00:33:28,423
(sighs)

750
00:33:28,506 --> 00:33:30,883
I'll miss you.

751
00:33:32,844 --> 00:33:35,096
I already miss you.

752
00:33:35,179 --> 00:33:38,182
Well, that's your own fault-- I haven't even left yet,

753
00:33:38,266 --> 00:33:40,601
and you're already acting like I'm gone.

754
00:33:40,685 --> 00:33:41,978
Shut up.

755
00:33:42,061 --> 00:33:44,188
(grunts) (chuckles)

756
00:33:48,401 --> 00:33:50,778
We'll tell the kids in the morning?

757
00:33:50,862 --> 00:33:52,488
Tell the kids in the morning.

758
00:33:52,572 --> 00:33:54,073
And it's good news, right?

759
00:33:54,157 --> 00:33:56,576
I mean, not the going-away part, but the job part.

760
00:33:56,659 --> 00:33:58,995
The seeing something through till its finished part.

761
00:33:59,078 --> 00:34:00,997
It's good news.

762
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:03,624
So, what happened with the girl, the missing girl?

763
00:34:03,708 --> 00:34:05,501
Did you find her?

764
00:34:05,585 --> 00:34:07,628
Do you really care?

765
00:34:07,712 --> 00:34:10,465
Yeah, I care-- I mean, I care about you, so yeah.

766
00:34:10,547 --> 00:34:11,841
I... I care.

767
00:34:13,717 --> 00:34:16,262
Well, turns out she never really was missing.

768
00:34:16,344 --> 00:34:18,306
(chuckles)

769
00:34:18,389 --> 00:34:19,639
I was wrong.

770
00:34:19,724 --> 00:34:24,061
Seems like I'm wrong about so many things lately.

771
00:34:25,730 --> 00:34:27,106
Mm-mm.

Cynthia,

813
00:36:44,744 --> 00:36:48,289
the dream I told you about, it happened.

814
00:36:48,372 --> 00:36:50,791
Bethany crossed paths with the man who kidnapped her.

815
00:36:50,875 --> 00:36:53,336
Only he didn't recognize her; she recognized him.

816
00:36:53,419 --> 00:36:54,795
Allison, calm down.

817
00:36:54,879 --> 00:36:57,256
I told you, she called, she's fine.

818
00:36:57,340 --> 00:36:59,634
No. No, Cynthia, she is not fine.

819
00:36:59,717 --> 00:37:01,010
She's in real trouble.

820
00:37:01,093 --> 00:37:02,637
The reason that she called you is,

821
00:37:02,720 --> 00:37:05,306
she wanted you to stop asking people where she was.

822
00:37:05,389 --> 00:37:06,974
She didn't want anyone to know.

823
00:37:07,058 --> 00:37:08,351
Know? Know what?

824
00:37:08,434 --> 00:37:10,478
That she had decided to get even.

825
00:37:10,561 --> 00:37:12,480
She got his name and address.

826
00:37:12,563 --> 00:37:14,315
She kidnapped his wife.

827
00:37:14,398 --> 00:37:17,693
Cynthia, once this man, Christopher Sipes,

828
00:37:17,777 --> 00:37:20,321
makes that ransom drop, Bethany plans on shooting him

829
00:37:20,404 --> 00:37:23,783
and leaving his wife to die in a shallow grave.

830
00:37:23,866 --> 00:37:25,534
I saw it, Cynthia.

831
00:37:25,618 --> 00:37:27,328
Look, I'm worried

832
00:37:27,411 --> 00:37:29,622
that he has already gone to make the drop.

833
00:37:29,705 --> 00:37:33,125
It-it's the perfect revenge.

834
00:37:33,209 --> 00:37:35,628
She even has Sipes making the drop at the exact

835
00:37:35,711 --> 00:37:37,505
same place where he buried her,

836
00:37:37,588 --> 00:37:40,174
in the middle of the desert, in the middle of nowhere.

837
00:37:40,257 --> 00:37:42,176
And no one who worked the original case

838
00:37:42,259 --> 00:37:43,511
knows exactly where that was.

839
00:37:43,594 --> 00:37:45,846
No one really knows.

840
00:37:45,930 --> 00:37:48,349

848
00:38:15,626 --> 00:38:18,379
Didn't I just call you in prison?

849
00:38:18,462 --> 00:38:21,257
What the hell are you doing here?

850
00:38:23,259 --> 00:38:25,553
I had a pang of nostalgia.

851
00:38:25,636 --> 00:38:27,138
I told the police

852
00:38:27,221 --> 00:38:30,725
I'd be able to lead them to a scene of a kidnapping.

853
00:38:30,808 --> 00:38:32,685
I told them that, uh,

854
00:38:32,768 --> 00:38:35,771
I could get the kidnapper to come with me quietly,

855
00:38:35,855 --> 00:38:39,567
stop her from making a terrible mistake.

856
00:38:39,650 --> 00:38:41,569
(bird screeches in distance)

Come on, Bethany.

858
00:38:43,612 --> 00:38:46,198
You're many things, but you're not stupid.

859
00:38:46,282 --> 00:38:48,367
They've got sharpshooters all around here,

860
00:38:48,451 --> 00:38:49,493
behind every rock,

861
00:38:49,577 --> 00:38:52,913
just waiting for an opportunity to pull the trigger.

862
00:38:52,997 --> 00:38:55,583
It's a win-win situation for them.

863
00:38:55,666 --> 00:38:58,669
As far as they're concerned, you've buried a woman alive.

864
00:39:00,004 --> 00:39:03,215
But we know that's not true, don't we?

865
00:39:03,299 --> 00:39:06,594
We know you'd never let that happen,

866
00:39:06,677 --> 00:39:09,138
not after what happened to you.

867
00:39:13,059 --> 00:39:15,811
So give me the gun.

868
00:39:15,895 --> 00:39:18,481
Give me the gun and tell me where the lady is.

869
00:39:18,564 --> 00:39:19,607
Why are you doing this?

870
00:39:19,690 --> 00:39:22,068
You know that he deserves to die.

871
00:39:22,151 --> 00:39:23,778
Yes, and he will.

872
00:39:23,861 --> 00:39:25,780
But not by your hand.

873
00:39:25,863 --> 00:39:28,032
(cocks hammer)

874
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:35,206
You know...

875
00:39:35,289 --> 00:39:38,501
when I shot my daughter's killer,

876
00:39:38,584 --> 00:39:39,919
I was so certain

877
00:39:40,002 --> 00:39:42,630
of what I was doing.

878
00:39:42,713 --> 00:39:47,676
But I was walking around with this big hole inside me.

879
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:51,972
And I thought if I killed her, it would all just go away.

880
00:39:52,056 --> 00:39:54,683
But you know what?

881
00:39:54,767 --> 00:39:59,647
(whispering): I still miss my daughter every day.

882
00:39:59,730 --> 00:40:02,650
And I've still got this hole inside me.

883
00:40:05,027 --> 00:40:06,403
Now...

884
00:40:06,487 --> 00:40:08,781
give me that gun, Bethany.

885
00:40:08,864 --> 00:40:11,283
What about Sipes?

886
00:40:11,367 --> 00:40:13,327
What happens to him?

887
00:40:13,410 --> 00:40:16,038
Oh, he'll get what he deserves.

888
00:40:17,873 --> 00:40:20,501
You know, he left a fingerprint

889
00:40:20,584 --> 00:40:23,712
on that ransom note that he sent to your parents,

890
00:40:23,796 --> 00:40:25,965
and we can match that bite mark

891
00:40:26,048 --> 00:40:28,634
on his hand to your teeth.

892
00:40:28,717 --> 00:40:31,846
It's all over for him.

893
00:40:31,929 --> 00:40:36,058
He already took your mother and your father.

894
00:40:37,268 --> 00:40:39,520
Don't give him you, too.

895
00:40:40,896 --> 00:40:43,774

Amy Sipes.

902
00:41:10,176 --> 00:41:12,678
She was groggy, but she was still alive.

903
00:41:12,761 --> 00:41:15,055
She was exactly where Bethany said she'd be.

904
00:41:15,139 --> 00:41:18,184
I knew Bethany couldn't hurt her.

905
00:41:19,310 --> 00:41:21,937
Well, there's my ride.

906
00:41:23,189 --> 00:41:24,398
Oh...

907
00:41:25,983 --> 00:41:28,736
Thanks. No,

908
00:41:28,819 --> 00:41:30,738
thank you for...

909
00:41:30,821 --> 00:41:32,865
for doing this.

910
00:41:35,868 --> 00:41:38,120
Cynthia.

911
00:41:38,204 --> 00:41:40,623
You have a parole hearing coming up soon.

912
00:41:40,706 --> 00:41:42,541
Yeah, my first.

913
00:41:42,625 --> 00:41:44,376
Well, my boss wants to go.

914
00:41:44,460 --> 00:41:46,545
He wants to speak on your behalf

915
00:41:46,629 --> 00:41:48,923
to tell the board about everything you did here.

916
00:41:49,006 --> 00:41:50,591
If that's okay.

917
00:41:50,674 --> 00:41:53,886
Tell him to come on by if he wants to discuss it.

918
00:41:55,471 --> 00:41:59,683
Make sure he brings you with him.
