Apparently the police were
over at her house the other day.

ELIZABETH:
Hey Bobby.

ELIZABETH:
Hi mom.



Yeah, I just got in.

MADELINE: Did you
check with her mom?

MADELINE: Well if it's
alright with her folks --

ELIZABETH: Oh no --
We need to go back.

I forgot my mascara -

MADELINE: Lizzy, I
think you can make it

through one day of school
without your mascara.

ELIZABETH: No, mom --
seriously, I need to go back.

It'll take like five minutes -

MADELINE: You don't need to
wear makeup to go to school -

ELIZABETH: Well you
wear makeup to work.

MADELINE: Lizzy, I
am already late -

ELIZABETH:
Ok but mom!

It's not fair!

BOBBY: It's
not fair -

ELIZABETH:

MADELINE:
I said no.

Look - your bus
is almost here.

ELIZABETH: Okay
well can't you take

me home then run
me to school?

BOBBY: Then
I'll be late.

ELIZABETH:
Bobby, shut up!

Do not talk to your
brother like that.

And I am not
arguing with you.

MADELINE: If that is
attitude you're gonna

have then don't
bother coming home!

ELIZABETH:
Maybe I won't!

ELIZABETH: My
mom's stupid.

Do you have any
mascara I can borrow?

AMANDA:
Sure.

Yes -

VINSON: I'm afraid
you're under arrest.

ELIZABETH:
What?

What for?

VINSON: We found a
bunch of marijuana

plants growing around
your property.

ELIZABETH:
What?

there must be a mistake
because we don't have anything.

VINSON: Well, I got
officers there already.

ELIZABETH:

your house.

They're there with
your little brother.

ELIZABETH: You

VINSON: This
is a bomb.

If you try to run
away or snatch it

off your neck it's
gonna go off.

You understand?

Okay.

Let's go.

ELIZABETH: Where
are you taking me?

VINSON: You want to
see your brother, right?

[RUSTLING LEAVES]

Huh.

[PHONE RINGS]

MADELINE: Hey Bobby.

BOBBY: Aw mom, I'm in
the middle of a game -

MADELINE: Bobby,

BOBBY:
Lizzy?

Lizzy -- ?

[PHONE RINGS]

AMANDA: Hi.

Who's this?

MADELINE: Hi.

Um, this is Madeline,
Lizzy's mom.

Do you have any
idea where Lizzy is?

AMANDA: She's
not home?

MADELINE:
No.

ELIZABETH: I just want
to know what's going on.

VINSON:
Sit down.

Listen, there
are no police.

You've just been
kidnapped, that's all.

Now if you try
to run away,

I'll blow your head
off or I'll shoot you.

But you're not going
to do that, are you?

Cause you're a
smart girl, right?

Hey, you should'a figured out
what this is all about by now.

AMANDA:
Hey Bobby.

Are you looking
for Lizzy too?

BOBBY:
Yeah.

MADELINE: Um, I'm gonna
have to, I'm gonna have to go.

VINSON: Watch
where you step.

You wait here.

[RUSTLING LEAVES]

VINSON:
Get in.

Do as I say or
you'll regret it.

[CRYING]

VINSON: Quit
crying will you?

It's going to be ok.

Come here.

ELIZABETH: Are you
going to kill me?

[CAR DOOR]

MADELINE:
Lizzy?

Lizzy?

MADELINE: Oh
c'mon Don!

[CAR DOOR]

MADELINE: Any
sign of her?

Amanda said she got
off the bus right here.

AMANDA: She was almost at
the top of your driveway.

KATH: Maybe you
should call 9-1-1...

MADELINE:
Yeah.

KATH: K, we'll wait
for them at the house,

alright we'll
keep looking.

MADELINE:
Ok.

I'd like to report
a missing person?

My daughter.

BOBBY:
Lizzy?

Lizzy?

Lizzy?

[WATER RUSHING]

MADELINE:
Come on,

come on,
come on.

MADELINE:
Yes hello.

This is
Madeline Shoaf.

I called about an hour and a
half ago about my daughter?

You said you were
sending someone out,

but no one's
shown up yet.

What do you mean, you
can't find my house?

It's off Main
outside of Lugoff.

Lugoff --
Richland County?

No, Kershaw.

Alright, hold on.

What is it?

803-43...

Okay.

Thank you.

Thank you...

Yes, hello.

Kershaw County police?

I like to report my
daughter missing.

[CAR HORN]

Yeah.

DON: Drive safe.

MADELINE:
Twenty minutes.

Where the heck
have you been?

DON: You okay?

I've been
out hunting.

MADELINE: Your
phone's been off all day.

DON: Yeah,
I know.

DON: Hey, slow down.

MADELINE: She didn't
show up after school.

No one knows
where she is.

DON:
Okay.

I'm sure there's
a reason.

Come on, let's
go inside.

[WATER RUSHING]

SAMUELS:
Anything?

Even if she was here, the
areas gotten contaminated

by folk poking
around earlier.

SAMUELS: Well, we've
looked around the area,

spoken to your
neighbors.

Any reason why she
might'a run away?

MADELINE:
No.

SAMUELS: You folks have
any kinda argument recently?

DON:
Nope.

SAMUELS:
Ma'am?

MADELINE: It's
just a stupid thing.

Um, she was upset
because she forgot

her makeup before
school this morning.

But it was nothing.

I know my daughter.

SAMUELS: Well, most parent feels
that way about their own kids.

Having worked a
few of these cases,

I have to tell you the
most likely explanation

is she's taken off
to a friend's house.

She got a
boyfriend?

MADELINE: No - I mean,
that's not possible.

SAMUELS: Alright well,
there's nothing more

We'll check back with
you first thing tomorrow.

Sure she'll turn
up by then.

[CAR DOOR]

SAMUELS: Let's put
out a bulletin,

let the state
departments know we

might have an in
danger runaway.

KITSON: In danger?

Off with her
boyfriend more like.

[CAR ENGINE]

MADELINE: Where
are you headed?

DON: I dunno.

Start up by the
main road, I guess.

Work our way through
the trails from there.

[CAR DOOR]

KITSON: Case Palmerston?

SAMUELS: So you got in
a car with your brother

and left her
to walk?

CASE: There wasn't
much room in the car.

And she was almost
home anyway.

KITSON: You ever been
in any kind of trouble, Case?

CASE: What
d'you mean?

KITSON: Ever done
anything illegal?

CASE:
No sir.

KITSON:
You sure?

You know you could get
in a lot of trouble if

there's anything that you
forgotten to mention?

CASE:
Yes sir.

KITSON: He's
hiding something.

SAMUELS:
Oh yeah.

DON: Do you wanna work
the edge of the woods?

I'm gonna work
the bank.

AMANDA: She was
always, you know,

pretty much kept
herself to herself.

She's not real
outgoing.

SAMUELS: What about
this boy Case Palmerston?

AMANDA: What
about him?

SAMUELS: Well he and
Elizabeth, they dating?

AMANDA: Ah, just
a few weeks.

He's like, her
first boyfriend.

ELIZABETH: Is
this too much?

AMANDA: No such
thing, honey.

AMANDA: I think she makes
French boring on purpose.

Just to torture us.

CASE:
Hey.

You look great.

I love your eyes.

[CRYING]

VINSON: You need to
calm down and start

accepting your
situation here.

Ain't no point in thinking
of trying to escape.

All around this
bunker outside -

I got it rigged with
booby-traps and explosives.

And even if you
made it past that,

I don't have to
find you to hurt you.

VINSON: I know how
you love your brother.

Besides, things ain't as
bad as you're makin' it out.

I got us
everything here.

Solar shower
for hot water.

Propane gas stove.

Fireplace for when I don't
want to cook using propane.

Compost toilet.

A twelve volt
lighting system.

Even got a TV.

See?

All the creature
comforts.

[POTS CLANGING]

VINSON:
Hey.

HEY.

You best quit
your crying now.

'Cos the more you cry, the
more I'm gonna hurt you.

KITSON: So, you wanna
see if you can remember

anything you
forgot to tell us?

Or you want us
to remind you?

CASE: I don't
know what you mean.

SAMUELS: Rumor
has it you gave

Elizabeth some marijuana
to look after.

So now I'm wondering,
there anything else

you forgot
to mention?

[TV IN BACKGROUND]

Always had my wife do all the
cookin' and before that my mom.

ELIZABETH:
You're married?

What's your name?

VINSON:
Vinson.

Looks like you ain't
made the news yet.

Guess that means
nobody's looking for you.

VINSON:
Hey.

I'm being real
nice to you here.

ELIZABETH: I-I
can't, I can't eat.

VINSON: If I ask you to
eat, then you need to eat.

See?

There you go.

You don't ever
want to shut me out.

'Cos you do that, I
can be real mean.

[CAR DOOR]

MADELINE:
Anything?

MADELINE: So you gonna
put an Amber alert for her?

SAMUELS: Well, not
just at the moment.

You see we spoke to her
friends at school today and uh,

seems her boyfriend
likes to smoke pot,

and for whatever reason, he
asked her to carry some for

him on her way home
from school yesterday.

DON: What boyfriend?

You know
about this?

MADELINE: His
name is Case.

DON: So who
is this kid?

SAMUELS: One of
her classmates.

KITSON: We figure
seeing if she has this

pot on her that the
most likely thing is

that she's run off
to a friend's place.

That doesn't even
make sense -

In case you
found it on her.

MADELINE: But she
could have just taken

it to her room
and hidden it -

Listen to me.

There is no way that she
decided to just take off.

Her lunch money is
still in her room.

All her favorite
clothes.

Nothing is
missing...

The only explanation is
that someone's taken her.

her folks because of
a little bit of pot?

KITSON: There's not
a lot else to go on.

THOMPSON: You
search the area?

KITSON: Took out
a bloodhound.

Couldn't pick
up anything.

THOMPSON:
Is that it?

You do realize the first 48
hours are the most crucial?

I want a full search party
ready first light tomorrow.

Let's get a chopper, and
as many four-wheelers

as we can lay
our hands on.

SAMUELS:
Yes sir.

THOMPSON: If she's
still alive,

we damn well better
find her quickly.

I don't want to be pulling
a body from a ditch

this time next week.

KATH: Hey... Just
keep an eye out for her.

[POLICE RADIO]

AMANDA:
Hey.

CASE:
Hey.

You know you got me in a
whole heap of trouble.

AMANDA: I'm sorry,
I didn't mean to.

I just... I didn't
know what to tell them.

Have you talked to
Elizabeth's parents yet?

Think you should
say hello.

CASE:
Hi.

Mr. and Mrs. Shoaf.

I'm Case.

I'm a friend of
Elizabeth's.

MADELINE: Ya, Elizabeth's
told me about you.

CASE:
Yep.

We've sort of - been
seeing one another.

DON: You're
the boyfriend?

I'm surprised you've got
the nerve to show up here -

CASE: I'm sorry - I wanted
to help look for her -

DON: Yeah, well it ever
occur to you, you might

be part of the reason
she's missing?

MADELINE: Don,
don't start this -

SAMUELS:
Mr Shoaf?

Madeline?

Ya got a
moment?

I want you to meet
Sheriff Thompson.

SAMUELS: Sheriff uh, Thompson,
this is Don and Madeline Shoaf,

THOMPSON: Please to
meet you sir -- ma'am.

I know this is a tough time
you folks are going through.

But I want you to know
we've got pretty much every

support service in the state
looking for your daughter.

DON: So are you gonna put out
an Amber alert for her now?

I'm afraid we can't do
that just at the moment -

THOMPSON: Well, there
are strict conditions

have to be met for
an Amber alert.

First, we need some kind
of vehicle description,

second: evidence that
she's been abducted.

MADELINE: But she's
been missing two days!

But for the moment
she's just missing.

And there could be a
bunch of reasons for that.

DON: I don't
believe this.

It's just the way the
regulations are -

But rest assured,
we're gonna get

word out to
the media.

And we're gonna do
everything we can to make

sure folks know we're
looking for your daughter.

MADELINE:
Thank you.

MADELINE:
It's ok.

We're gonna
find her.

I know it. We're
gonna find her.

CASE:
Hey.

CASE: Listen, what
are you doing Saturday?

ELIZABETH: I dunno,
no plans.

CASE: My parents are
away for the weekend -

I thought maybe -
you know-

ELIZABETH: I'm
late for math.

VINSON:
Eat this.

VINSON: So. You
like the outdoors?

Me too.

I always loved
the outdoors.

Guess that's part'a
why I like to dig --

the smell of the earth
-it's kinda - real.

Back in the eighties I
used to be in the scouts.

We go camping, we'd
spend a whole week

at a time in
the woods...

you remember the
Rambo movies?

VISON:
Huh.

Well, I guess
you're a bit young.

Well anyway, we
loved those movies,

I mean, they were
real big back then.

I mean, between them
and the martial arts,

we'd pretty much spend
every weekend in 'game mode',

you know, playing a
different mission.

We were like
teenage commandos

[MAKING GUN SOUNDS]

That's the thing
'bout growing up.

Just don't get enough
time to play anymore.

CALLUM:
Anything?

DON:
No.

CALLUM: You want to keep
working toward Lakeview?

DON: I dunno.

Maybe we should go
look on Benson's land.

CALLUM:
Sure.

[RUSTLING LEAVES]

CALLUM: Don, looks there's
a bit of a trail here.

Want to follow it?

VINSON: You make a
sound, and I'll kill you.

DON: Go on the
west side there...

[MUFFLED VIOCES]

[RUSTLING LEAVES]

DON: I'll look
over there then.

CALLUM: Go ahead...

[MUFFLED VIOCES]

VINSON: They were
right there,

and they couldn't
even see us.

DON:
Okay.

You ready?

Let's get
this done.

[CAR DOOR]

[TV IN BACKGROUND]

has began today here in
the small town of Lugoff,

Elizabeth Shoaf has been
missing since Tuesday.

According to her friends,
she was walking home

from school when she
simply vanished.

Despite a major
search of the area,

police have yet to find
any evidence to explain

her disappearance,
and for that reason,

they're currently treating
her as an 'at-risk' runaway.

VINSON: Sounds to me like
they've already given' up -

REPORTER: -she's
been abducted.

And earlier today, they
made an emotional plea

for their
daughter's return.

MADELINE: Elizabeth, if you're
out there and listening to this,

we just want you to
know we love you,

we're here for you, and
we're doing everything

we can to get
you back.

And if the person
responsible for taking her,

please don't hurt her --
please, we just want her back.

REPORTER: Over 50 local-

[CRYING]

VINSON: Hey.

You need to get it
into your head:

there ain't nobody
ever gonna find you.

MADELINE: I know
she's out there.

I can feel her.

KATH: Maybe you
should get some rest?

It's nearly 2.

[GUN SHOT]

ELIZABETH: Can I
ask you something?

Why did you
choose me?

VINSON: [Laughing] Why,
you think you're special?

Is that it?

ELIZABETH:
No

VINSON:
Look.

You're nobody
to me.

I was watchin' you and
your friends a while,

and you were just
-- right place,

right time.

ELIZABETH: How long
have you been living here?

VINSON: Long
enough its home.

ELIZABETH: I've never
heard of anyone

living underground
before.

VINSON: You think I
wanna live like this?

Think I'm some kinda
animal or something?

I'm only doing this 'cos
I don't have a choice.

ELIZABETH: What
do you mean?

VINSON: Anybody
ever hurt you?

Well - it changes you.

Changes the way
you see things.

People -

ELIZABETH:
Someone hurt you?

VINSON:
Yeah.

Somebody hurt me.

I used to have a
real special wife.

Called her Peanut,
'cos she was so cute.

And let me tell you she
was crazy 'bout me, too.

Used to bring me coffee
every morning -- you know,

playing the little
housewife role -

Well anyway, one day she
just decides she's gonna

hurt me she ain't
got no reason to.

ELIZABETH: What
did she do?

VINSON:
Lying.

Spreadin' lies
'bout me.

Sayin' I raped her.

Next thing you know it, I
got police snooping around,

makin' accusations.

Going to everybody I
know and repeating

everything she said
like it's true.

So they only hear
her side of things.

And I'd never hurt anybody,
least of all Peanut.

Well, lest
I had to.

ELIZABETH: So is
that why you're here?

You had to
run away?

VINSON: The plan was to
bring her here with me.

ELIZABETH:
What for?

VINSON:
I dunno.

Kill her or
somethin' I guess.

Never really thought
that part through.

Anyway, the authorities come
and they took her outta state.

So that's when I decided
on finding someone else.

See, you, you're
like the bait.

Outside'a here?

-- All around
this bunker?

I got it rigged
with bombs.

Inside, too - see.

So one day, when the deputies
come lookin' - Boom!

Payback.

Hey look -- I
didn't want this.

I'm just doing what I
gotta do to make things right.

We're in game mode here,
and everything's clicking

into place just
like clockwork.

We don't have'ta do
nothing 'cept wait.

MADELINE: Maybe
you should take a break.

You've been out
every day -

[CAR DOOR-ENGINE]

MADELINE:
Don?

VINSON: What
are you doing?

ELIZABETH: I - I have
to go to the bathroom.

[ELIZABETH:
RELIEVING HERSELF]

just wake me.

[HELICOPTER]

VINSON: Hey, c'mere.

[RUSTLING]

VINSON: Got this
from the box store.

The aluminum
blocks infra red.

Means their heat
cameras can't see us.

[HELICOPTER]

VINSON:
See?

[RUSTLING]

ELIZABETH: You know, the
other day when you said that

I was nobody to you --
it kinda made me sad.

I guess --I guess I'm just
getting used to being with you.

VINSON:
Yeah?

ELIZABETH:
Uh huh.

Can you leave the
chain off for now?

I'm not gonna
go anywhere.

VINSON:
Lie down.

CASE:
Hey.

ELIZABETH:
Hi.

[BIRDS]

ELIZABETH: No
- not yet.

CASE:
Why not?

ELIZABETH:
Because.

CASE: Don't
you want to?

ELIZABETH:
Not yet.

ELIZABETH: Cause I want the
first time to be perfect.

CASE: This
is perfect.

Isn't' it?

DON: Any coffee?

MADELINE: It's
in the pot.

[DISHES CLANGING]

MADELINE: You heading
back out to search?

DON:
Yeah.

MADELINE: What time
will you get back?

DON: I dunno.

When I'm done.

MADELINE: I was hoping
you could come to church.

We're having
a vigil -

DON: Oh, good
for you.

Personally, I'd rather
do something useful.

MADELINE:
Pardon?

DON: You heard.

MADELINE: What is
with you, huh?

DON: Lord gonna make
everything work out.

Got it.

having some faith might be
a good thing right now?

DON: Right, you're just
going to magic her back

with the power
of prayer.

Is that it?

[CAR DOOR]

ELIZABETH: Our
father who art in heaven,

hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come,
thy will be done,

on earth as it
is in heaven.

Give us this day
our daily bread,

And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.

[HELICOPTER]

SAMUELS: What
d'you think?

Keep working north?

THOMPSON: Let's make one
last pass over this area.

If we don't turn up anything, we
might as well call everyone in.

SAMUELS:
Okay.

You guys, follow me.

ELIZABETH: You like guns?

VINSON:
Uh huh.

Never been able to afford
much of a collection mind.

ELIZABETH:
What's that one?

VINSON:
This?

This is a Walther
Model CP88.

Just a pellet gun.

ELIZABETH: So it
doesn't fire real bullets?

VINSON:
Nah.

[Laughing]

ELIZABETH:
How's it work?

VINSON: Show you
if you like.

VINSON: Eight
shot magazine.

Got a double
action trigger.

Uses Co2 compressed
air to fire a cap at

about 50 feet
per second.

Doesn't use real bullets,
but it'll kill up close.

[GUN SHOT]

VINSON: Aww -- well, I'm pretty
good but it's not that hard.

You wanna try?

VINSON:
Okay.

So first you gotta
take the safety off.

ELIZABETH: How'd
I do that?

VINSON: It's on the
side here at the back.

Yep, you got it.

Now, hold it real
steady and squeeze-

[GUN SHOT]

you gotta-you gotta
hold it real steady.

Wanna try again?

VINSON: Whoa,
whoa, whoa.

Be careful.

ELIZABETH:
Sorry.

VINSON: So
here you go.

[GUN SHOT]

VINSON:
Aw, see?

You're a natural.

VINSON: Put
your shoes on.

[HANDCUFFS CLICKING]

VINSON: Don't get

VINSON: Night vision,

I got 'em on sale for a
hundred and fifty-nine dollars.

Stick close to me.

I got devices

Some'll explode, others'll
shoot you through your feet.

VINSON:
Okay.

Let's go get

[WATER SPLASHING]

VINSON: Ain't particularly clean
but its okay if you boil it.

ELIZABETH: Who
are you texting?

VINSON: Texting my girl,
lettin her know where I'm at.

ELIZABETH: Is she the
one leaving the food?

VINSON:
Uh huh.

ELIZABETH: I thought
you two didn't get along?

VINSON: Yeah -- well, see that's
uh-- that's -it's complicated.

Fact is, I kinda feel
like you understand

me better she does.

ELIZABETH: I like
being with you.

It's - it's different.

VINSON: Well

Hey, c'mere.

I just want to make you
happy -you know that, right?

Ah shoot -

ELIZABETH:

C'mon, let's go!

VINSON:
Hey.

ELIZABETH:

ELIZABETH:
It fell off.

ELIZABETH: I-I-I don't

VINSON:
Damn.

Okay.

THOMPSON: Right now,
we're following up on

reports of sightings in
Virginia and Tennessee.

As soon as we have
anything more concrete,

we'll let you know.

In the meantime - I'm
afraid we're gonna have

to wind down
the search.

MADELINE:
Wind down?

Why?

SAMUELS: We've covered
nearly twenty square miles,

some of it more
than once.

THOMPSON: Chances are
if Elizabeth is alive,

she's a ways
from here.

MADELINE:
If?

THOMPSON: I'm
sorry ma'am.

KATH: What's
going on?

MADELINE: Maybe you guys
should go and get some sleep.

You don't have to
stay here forever.

Let's start wrapping this
out here people, let's go.

Let's start
wrappin' out.

MADELINE: It's
beautiful, isn't it?

ELIZABETH: Yeah, I wish I
could lie here forever.

MADELINE:
Yeah.

You know, when you were
little, you were so cute.

I used to wish that you
could stay that way forever.

And then you get a
little older and I thought,

no, now you're
even more perfect.

And now I can't believe
you're almost grown up.

ELIZABETH:
Almost?

MADELINE: So how's
that boyfriend of yours?

You still haven't
told me his name.

ELIZABETH:
Case.

MADELINE:
Case.

That's nice.

Listen -- please don't
take this the wrong way,

I know you feel like
you're not a child anymore,

don't go rushing into anything
you're not ready for okay?

ELIZABETH:
Okay.

♪ [DRAMATIC MUSIC] ♪

DON:
Listen.

I'm sorry about
the other day.

You were right, we
gotta stick together.

MADELINE: I don't
want to give up, Don.

DON: We're
not going to.

Come on.

MADELINE:
Are you almost ready?

DON:
Yeah.

What time we
gotta be there?

MADELINE: Service
starts at six.

MADELINE:
Don?

Don, come here -

DON: What is it?

DON: Hey mom it's
Lizzy I'm in a hole in

the ground near where
the big trucks go --

get the police though be
careful he has bombs hidden.

MADELINE: Don,
it's her.

She's alive.

DON: Maybe -

MADELINE: What
d'you mean, maybe?

It's her.

Should we call it?

DON:
No.

We best contact
the police first.

[CLICKING]

VINSON: You do this?

I asked you a question.

ELIZABETH: What
do you mean?

VINSON: Did you
touch my gun?

ELIZABETH: No -

VINSON:
The trigger's jammed.

Means somebody must've fired it
and it sure as heck wasn't me.

ELIZABETH: I'm
sorry, I-I don't know.

VINSON: Are you
lyin' to me?

ELIZABETH:
No - please.

Don't say that.

I would never
lie to you.

Honest.

VINSON: I'm pretty
sure it wasn't jammed

when I put it away.

ELIZABETH: I don't
know but I do know

that I would
never lie to you.

Please - don't
push me away.

SAMUELS: When did
this come through?

MADELINE: Saw it
this afternoon.

so meantime, probably best
we don't get our hopes up.

MADELINE: What
d'you mean?

She's alive -

SAMUELS: Maybe
- maybe.

But the fact is, anyone
could have sent that.

DON: You think that
it could be a prank?

SAMUELS: I'm not
saying it is or it isn't.

Just no way to
know either way.

KITSON: Sometimes there
are nutcases who think

it's amusing to
play a hoax.

It's sick I
know, but -

MADELINE: No-no
this came from her.

She used her
nickname - Lizzy.

No one else would
know to do that.

KITSON: There's an easy way to
find out who sent the message...

BOBBY: Isn't it
risky calling the phone?

What if Lizzy's with someone and
she doesn't want them to know?

KITSON: Thanks for the tip but
in case you didn't realise -

but I'm the police
officer here.

BOBBY:
Dad?

I'm right, aren't I?

[CLICKING]

VINSON: Fixed the jam.

Let's go.

KITSON: Just a
generic voicemail.

SAMUELS: Hmm, well Sheriff
Thompson's on his way so

best we sit tight
until then.

[BANGING]

MADELINE: Do you think
that maybe I should

try calling the phone?

I mean, if it is Lizzy, it's
me that she wanted to speak to?

KITSON:
Go ahead.

VINSON: Just gotta
text my girl.

She forgot to leave
any tinned pasta.

KITSON: Hey, uh,
just give it a minute.

Sheriff's here -

THOMPSON:
Evening.

So - seems like
maybe we got a lead?

MADELINE: Yeah, I was just
about to call the number.

If this really is Elizabeth,
calling could put her in danger.

DON: So what
do we do?

THOMPSON: We'll run the
number and see what comes back.

Meantime, I suggest you
folks keep quiet about this.

If word gets out to the media,
there's a good chance that

whoever's got Elizabeth
could find out we're onto him,

THOMPSON: According
to the phone company it's

Bought 'bout three weeks ago by
this woman - Katherine Heath -

KITSON:
Okay.

Just running her
details now.

You figure she's the
one who's got Elizabeth?

THOMPSON: Well, text
came from her phone.

THOMPSON:
Okay.

KITSON: Hold it a second
- I've been here before.

KITSON: Think I know
who our suspect is.

THOMPSON: You
want to share?

KITSON: Name's
Vinson Filyaw.

Wanted on sex offence
charges a year or so ago.

THOMPSON: I remember him -
thought he'd fled state.

KITSON: We came
here a few times,

but he was
never around.

Katherine Heath
was his girlfriend.

THOMPSON: Sounds
like she still is.

KATHERINE: You gonna
tell me what this is about?

THOMPSON: Have you seen
your boyfriend recently?

KATHERINE: I ain't
got a boyfriend.

THOMPSON:
Vincent Filyaw?

KATHERINE:
I dunno.

Maybe a year?

We broke up.

THOMPSON: So you two
aren't still in touch?

KATHERINE: Are you
accusing me of something,

because this
is harassment.

You better not start
messin up my home.

KITSON:
Sheriff?

You might want to come
in here and take a look.

THOMPSON: You got
a flashlight?

THOMPSON: Think we just found
out why Vinson was never home.

SAMUELS:
Sheriff.

Just right through here.

THOMPSON: Looks like we
got ourselves a digger.

THOMPSON: Guessing
you've heard about

It's been going on pretty
much in your backyard.

KATHERINE:
So?

THOMPSON: Well, yesterday
afternoon Elizabeth's mother

received a text message from
her daughter on a cell phone

registered to your name.

As far as you can recall, you
haven't seen Vinson in about

a year, right?

KATHERINE:
'Bout that.

THOMPSON: You wanna
explain how he could'a

gotten a hold of
your cell phone?

'Cos the phone company said you
only bought it three weeks ago.

That is your
signature, right?

Ma'am, you need to understand
that if he kills this little

girl and you've mislead
us that makes you

an accomplice
to murder.

You wanna think again about
the last time you saw Vinson?

KATHERINE: I just put food in
the trunk whenever he texts me.

THOMPSON: How long's
that been going on?

KATHERINE: I dunno,
a while.

THOMPSON: You sure you
don't know where his bunker is?

[TRUNK CLOSING]

SAMUELS: So what
do you wanna do?

THOMPSON: Well, if he's
collecting his food here,

he's gotta be in
walking distance.

THOMPSON: I'm guessing
he's somewhere up

SAMUELS: Well, Marshall
Service said they're gonna

have a fix on where that
text came from pretty soon.

Meantime, let's have the chopper
take another comb over the area.

SAMUELS:
Ok.

THOMPSON: You know,
maybe I was wrong about

keeping quiet
on that text.

SAMUELS: What are
you thinking?

THOMPSON: Seems to me
that the press is gonna

find out about this
sooner or later.

If Filyaw has Elizabeth
and she's still alive,

maybe we need
to gamble.

[TV IN BACKGROUND]

VINSON:
Hey.

C'mere.

disappearance, police announced
that yesterday afternoon,

her parents received a text
message they believed to

have been sent by
their daughter.

According to the
sheriff's department,

the message makes it clear
that Elizabeth is being held

in some kind of
underground bunker.

What more, is police now
believe they know the identity

of the man most likely
behind her disappearance.

Vinson Filyaw, a
resident of Lugoff,

has been on the run from
authorities for almost a year

to avoid facing charges
for alleged sex offences.

VINSON: What
have you done?

Huh?

You're spreadin'
lies 'bout me too, huh?

ELIZABETH: I-I
didn't do anything.

VINSON: You didn't
do anything?

You heard the
news report, right?

They said the message
came from my phone!

ELIZABETH: It-it
wasn't me.

VINSON:
Liar!

Damn!

Damn, damn,
damn DAMN!

You realise they're gonna
come looking for us now?

You understand
that, right?

ELIZABETH: I'm sorry,
I just - I don't know,

I-it wasn't me.

I never touched
your phone.

VINSON:
Bullshit.

You know what?

I should just
kill you right now.

SAMUELS: Marshall Services
confirmed the text definitely

came from somewhere up
here on Benson's land -

if Filyaw's rigged the
area with explosives.

Let's make ready for
first light tomorrow.

You said not to tell
anyone 'bout that message,

and now it's all
over the damn news?

DON: What if that
Filyaw guy sees this?

MADELINE: Don, give
him a chance -

we decided to take
a calculated risk -

DON: Calculated risk?

What the hell is
that supposed to mean?

This is my daughter
we're talking about here.

THOMPSON: Look, I
know Filyaw, alright?

Filyaw's dangerous,
but he's also a coward.

So chances are, if he
knows we're looking for him,

he's gonna do what he's
been doing this past year,

And that, in my opinion, is
the best chance we have of

seeing your daughter
alive again.

DON: I hope for your
sake you're right.

VINSON: Why'd you go an
do a thing like that?

ELIZABETH: I swear on my life,
I never touched your phone.

VINSON:
What?

That makes
no sense.

ELIZABETH: Please, I
don't know what happened,

but I would never hurt
you -- check your phone.

There's no text
there, right?

ELIZABETH: Maybe the police
are just making it all up.

VINSON:
What?

ELIZABETH: To try and frighten
you -- like they did before.

Please.

You need to believe
me -- I love you.

I just want us
to be together.

VINSON: What are
we gonna do now?

Should we pack up and
try to get outta here?

Or maybe it's
better to wait it out.

ELIZABETH: I don't know -- but
if the police catch us together,

they'll put you in jail.

VINSON: If we could
make it out -

Do you think you'd wanna
be my wife one day?

ELIZABETH: Sure,
I would --

but you're already
married aren't you?

To the woman that
leaves the food?

VINSON: [Laughs]
No.

That's my girlfriend, Kat.

I was in love with her
daughter -you know Peanut.

I just called Peanut my wife,
because I wanted to marry her.

ELIZABETH: What
was her real name?

VINSON:
Lucy.

Lucy Jennings.

You two went to
school together right?

That's the thing, people
used to be allowed to get

married when they
were 12 right?

ELIZABETH:
Right.

VINSON: So how can it be
right for someone to say two

people can't be together
when they love one another?

ELIZABETH: I don't
know - [crying]

VINSON: I don't
wanna lose you.

ELIZABETH: I don't
wanna lose you too.

VINSON:
Really?

ELIZABETH:
Mmhmm.

VINSON:
Forever?

VINSON: You stay here --
when all this all blows over,

I'll come and find you.

I love you.

ELIZABETH: I
love you too.
