How the hell does a kid end up
getting stuck in a grain silo
50 feet above the ground?
It's called walking the grain.
People go up into the silo
and they stomp around
on the corn
'cause it's a cheap way
to dislodge it from the drain.
Sounds like you've run a few
of these, Judd.
Yeah, we lose a few people
a year to them down here.
JUDD: You get that much
grain together,
it's like quicksand.
So if he's already up
to his chest,
how long do we have
to get him out?
Ten minutes at the most,
but that depends
on the air pocket,
but you also can't
pull him out too fast
or you'll just rip him in half.
But i-it's corn.
Yeah, it's corn.
It weighs 1,200 pounds
per cubic yard.
It's like having
four refrigerators
on top of every part
of your body.
OWEN: All right,
here's the deal.
When we get there,
Judd's gonna run the call,
all right?
OWEN: You do what he says
when he says it.
-Copy that.
-TK: Copy that.
Copy that.

a blue pickup truck
but who might know who did.
Iris's boyfriend,
Dustin Shepard.
I'm sorry, officer.
Are you suggesting that
I violate a restraining order?
Like you need
any encouragement.
I'm just saying next time
you do violate
the restraining order--
which you will--
maybe be a little more polite
and you might get
a few questions answered
before you get arrested.
Not to that scumbag.
Well, if that scumbag
is innocent,
he might have information
that can help.
If--if he's innocent,
and I've been harassing him
for all these years,
I am the last person
that he's gonna speak to.
God, what if I'm wrong?
You know what?
No.
He was a dick to her
the whole time
they were together,
and just because he doesn't own
a blue truck
doesn't mean
he wasn't involved.

to swallow your pride.
