Alcatraz (2012): Season 1, Episode 9 - Sonny Burnett - full transcript
Sonny Burnett a man with an incredible dark side who became ultra-violent during his stint at Alcatraz, returns.
Hello, Ray.
Thanks for coming.
You got 60 seconds.
I want Rebecca out.
I'm not the one
keeping her in.
She deserves
a real life, Hauser.
Chasing a pension
for 20 years
and then hiding out in a bar?
I'm glad you said no to me
back then, Raymond.
You didn't have
the stomach for it.
But she does.
She's my only family.
Cut her loose.
Why now?
What do you mean?
She's been
on the task force for months.
Why call me now?
You've seen him,
haven't you?
Tommy Madsen.
You've seen him.
Do you want one?
Look at that guy.
Roll down the window,
Simon.
You ever hotbox
with $100 cohibas?
It's like swimming
through a cloud.
You ever sleep
on the couch
'cause your wife thinks
you smell
like a backroom poker game?
Love her too much
to let that happen.
After the deal
you just negotiated,
I don't think Helen's throwing
anybody out of bed tonight.
Whoa!
What the hell was that?
There was a man
in the road.
Damn it.
Cataracts.
Nothing to be ashamed of.
A man your age.
Anything you want.
Just take it.
Okay.
I'll be taking you,
Mr. Pierce.
2088.
Sonny Burnett.
No.
2088.
Your 30 days
of solitary isolation
for new inmate arrivals
is over.
Time to enter the jungle.
Mr. Hicks, Mr. Hicks,
I heard you provide protection?
Protection?
Look around you, fish.
Ain't no one protected here.
What I provide
is more of a deterrent.
I have money.
My last job
was a real estate tycoon.
The family paid 100 grand
to get him back.
You're the kidnapper.
I heard about you.
Snatch and grabs
for big money ransom.
Shotgun Sonny Burnett.
You got enemies in here
or something?
Not yet.
But I'm a businessman.
And I know a good investment
when I see one.
I'd like to buy
full protection
for the entire time
I'm here.
And I'm supposed to believe
they just let
you keep 100 thou
when they caught up to you?
They caught up to me,
not the money.
You sure it's still there?
I bet my life on it.
Looks like you just did.
Bad night?
I keep having those dreams
about my partner and Tommy.
Sorry.
I wish there was a way
you could make it stop.
There is.
I can catch him.
Simon Moore, 42.
And there's this.
2088.
Sonny Burnett,
kidnap and ransom.
- Who'd he kidnap?
- Well, the car is registered
to David Pierce,
CFO of Helen Campbell Cosmetics.
That's a multimillion-dollar
company.
Mr. Pierce is married
to its founder.
So Burnett was waiting for him,
but why leave
his uniform behind?
Send a message.
Sonny preyed on some
pretty wealthy people
back in the '50s.
Careful, well-planned.
He ran it like a business.
Kidnapping and murder,
nice business.
Except he didn't kill anybody
back then.
If the ransom was paid, he
returned the victims unharmed.
CSU found some tire tracks
100 yards down the road.
Hauser, you should really take
some time off.
We're on this.
You were shot.
You're only human.
Keep me informed.
I'll be educating
the SFPD.
You have confirmation
Hauser's human?
I've met a lot of humans.
I got to say,
I don't see it.
I can't believe
Simon is dead.
He... he just got engaged.
Can you tell us
where your husband and
Simon went last night?
Uh, uh, they were at
a business dinner.
David was gonna finalize a deal.
A Brazilian distributor
for Campbell Cosmetics.
We have reason to believe
this is about money.
If it's true,
this is good for David.
For you.
A ransom.
Yeah. Does...
Does that mean something to you?
The same thing happened to me
when I was a girl.
You were kidnapped?
Yes.
His name was Sonny Burnett.
On march 21, 1963,
Alcatraz officially closed.
All the prisoners were
transferred off the island...
Only that's not what happened.
Not at all.
Alcatraz
s01 ep10 - Sonny Burnett
Ugh!
What on God's green earth did
you put on this bullet wound?
You remember when you
brought in Mr. Cobb?
The injury he sustained to his hand?
I shot him.
Well, an injury of that nature
should take months to fully heal.
Cobb's took weeks.
What are you saying?
The '63s you've been rounding up,
they're all in perfect health.
And I mean straight from
God's own factory floor.
Any ailments they used to have
are now gone.
How?
In addition to plasma and platelets,
their blood contains a
third interloper...
Colloidal silver,
which has been known to have healing
properties going back to Hippocrates.
Is that what you were
doing on Alcatraz?
Well, I merely decanted the vital
fluid from the prisoners, sir.
What became of it after God
and the warden only know.
But here they are.
With blood that seems to keep
their murderous bodies
in tip-top shape.
Blood that,
well, could be transfused into a
less-than-healthy body.
Lucy.
Si, senor.
What are the risks?
I wish I knew.
Right now,
none of the inmates share the
good doctor's blood type.
Not yet.
I've taken the Alcatraz
tour a few times,
and I've read about Sonny,
but...
I don't remember you
being connected to him.
Well, I was a minor.
They didn't mention me
in the newspapers, so...
It could be very helpful
if you tell us exactly what happened.
Why?
Why would my kidnapping have
anything to do with this?
Mrs. Campbell, Emerson Hauser, FBI.
I understand your frustration.
Occasionally we get copycats
who base their M.O.
on previous crimes.
So you think that whoever took David
knows what happened to me?
I think we should cover
all our bases so we
can move forward.
I was... I was on my own at 14.
And Sonny was, you know,
drove a muscle car,
always had a lot of cash.
One night,
he parks off the road,
says that there's a little
something I can help him with.
He has a shotgun.
He says it's time to get to work.
So he wanted you to help
him kidnap someone.
Yes.
Tells me to go and stand
out on the highway.
Tells me which car I
should flag down.
That I should...
I should act like I'm in trouble.
And after that
he starts talking like
we're partners.
Took me
almost three months
to get up the nerve
to try and escape.
Then I went to the police,
and, three days later,
he was arrested.
Where did he keep you?
Where did he keep me?
It's fine.
It's not relevant.
Three months.
You said you were kidnapped.
So where did he keep you?
Were you locked in a closet?
Were you handcuffed in the basement?
No.
So you lived with him.
Detective, a word.
We've all been under a
lot of pressure lately.
She knows more than she's letting on.
No kidding.
If you press her, we will lose her,
which will make finding
Burnett that much harder.
Okay, so what?
We're just supposed to sit around
and wait for Burnett's ransom call?
No, I will wait for the ransom call.
And when it comes, I
will summon you back.
Hey.
Is this a bad time?
What's going on?
Your nutcase Fed boss
has got people watching me.
The bar, my apartment.
He must think you know where Tommy is.
Do you?
Of course not.
What is this?
I thought you let this go.
The night my partner died,
we were on a routine b&e.
We saw a guy, chased
him, it was Tommy.
He jumped off the roof, will
followed him, missed the jump.
Tommy could have gotten away
if all he wanted to do was escape,
but he came back to kill him,
like it was personal.
Why?
I don't know.
Oh, I wish I could believe you.
God, what is it about Alcatraz
that makes everybody into a liar?
He's a bad guy, Rebecca.
Is?
You've seen him, haven't you?
Let's go C-Block. Line it up!
Let's go! Let's go, go!
Walk it up!
Step it up!
Did you find it?
Are you stupid or crazy, Burnett?
What are you talking about?
I sent one of my guys on the outside,
to get your cash.
There was nothing there.
He must have went to the wrong place.
No, the box was there, all right.
Exactly where you said it would be.
But there was nothing inside it.
No, no, no, no, no. No one else knew.
Yeah, well, either way.
A bet's a bet.
Helen.
Helen.
Please.
I have money. Call my wife.
She'll give you anything you want.
He wakes.
Who's Helen?
You kept
mumbling the name.
Menelaus-like.
I'd ask about the Elysian fields,
but I doubt you saw them.
What's your meaning?
You died.
Did I not mention that?
No pulse for a full 30 seconds.
How long can I stay in this place?
You're out day after tomorrow.
Third day in general
population, you got stuck.
I must say, that is a record, son.
I just want to do my time in peace.
They're so cute when they're young.
Give him another 30 in his cell.
Let a few new fish chum the water
before we toss him back overboard.
I think that's a mistake.
Look, what after that?
Another 30?
The man has to adapt.
There's no adaptation here.
Only survival.
Natural selection is predetermined.
You arrive with it stamped
right in your file.
Knowing your place on the food chain.
You of all people
should understand that.
I can't go back into
general population.
Let me give you a little advice.
There is no such thing
as just doing time, 2088.
You're either predator or prey.
The sooner you accept that fact,
the sooner you can make a choice.
Which do you want to be?
Call came in 20 minutes ago.
Here's the recording.
Who is this?
I'm a personal
friend of the family.
My only role here is to
facilitate the safe
return of David Pierce.
You're a Fed, but, if you keep
your word, you'll see his face again.
$100,000.
Berkeley downs.
West Barn, stall 23.
In the hay bin will be a saddlebag.
Put the money in and walk away.
All goes well, and I'll
call with his location.
Mrs. Campbell has informed us
that Berkeley downs
is the same place she
was held as a girl
by Sonny Burnett.
The place where you escaped from?
Yes.
And $100,000 is the same
sum that he asked for
on his last job, the
one he got caught on.
So you were right.
Whoever is doing this
must know about what happened to me.
What kind of sick person
would do something like this?
How soon can
you get the money?
You there?
Loud and clear.
Over.
SFPD are in place.
Backup only. It's our op.
Okay, good, let's do this.
This 100 grand in my backpack
is making me nervous.
Hello, Helen.
This is kind of a weird
place for a ransom drop.
There's only one way in or out.
Y-y-you died.
They told me.
You betrayed me.
No. No.
I loved you.
I was 14 years old.
You told me you loved me too.
I-I-I did whatever you told me to do.
Do you know what it's like
having everything
taken away from you?
No.
You will know, Helen.
Plea...
Where is he?
He's in the stable.
Where I sent the police.
At least part of him.
Pierce is dead.
This is not about the money.
Call the police at Helen's house now.
That was SFPD.
Burnett was at Helen's house.
What?
He killed the two officers
who were there watching her.
Helen?
She's unharmed.
What'd he go there for?
Apparently to tell her that
he killed her husband.
He must have wanted to see
her face when she found out.
He's tormenting her.
No other reason to kill David
in such a gruesome way.
He wanted her to suffer.
We need to send full protection out
on everyone that might
be important to her,
starting with her family.
She has a daughter in Colorado.
Neighbours, friends, employees.
Anyone that might be important
in her life that he can hurt.
I don't get it.
All this 'cause she got away.
She was 14.
There is something
she's not telling us.
From eye discoloration
and the clotting inside
the carotid and jugular,
I'd say he was killed at
least four, five hours ago.
Before our guy made the call.
We never had a shot at saving him.
You know what kind of
tool he could have used?
Looks like a power saw.
Blade marks on the duct tape.
Rebecca.
Whoever this guy is, catch him.
Or shoot him.
Well, he didn't walk here.
Have the race track upload
security footage to us.
We can cross-reference it with
cars stolen in the last three
weeks and cars in the lot today.
I gotta say, I'm with Nikki on this.
This is one guy who may
not deserve a cell.
I want him alive.
From now on, I want 'em all alive.
He does realize he's the only
one who shoots them, right?
He looked exactly the
same as when I knew him.
Like he hadn't gotten any older.
There's no rational explanation.
Wait.
You knew.
You knew.
You knew it was him.
Who are you people?
Why is he doing this, Helen?
Because this is personal.
And it seems like
revenge against you.
He thinks I betrayed him.
Did you?
I did what I had to do to survive.
By pretending to be on his
side, to be his partner?
The night before I escaped,
Sonny got drunk.
He was bragging about the
money from the last ransom.
He said that I was the only
person that he trusted.
Then he told me where he hid it.
And, after he went to prison,
I went and found it.
He had buried it in a
field in Danville.
It took me two weeks to find it.
But, after what he'd done to me, I...
This is all my fault, isn't it?
What happened to David.
What...
What if he's always
gonna be out there?
Waiting.
My Uncle Ray thinks you're
having him watched.
And you're gonna ask me to back off?
No, I want to be your first
call if Tommy shows up.
Anything?
Got the surveillance footage
from Berkeley downs.
Couple dozen hits from cars matching makes
and models stolen around San Francisco.
That's a lot.
Then I remembered CSU found
a tire track from the road he snatched Mr.
Pierce from.
Tell me they made a plaster mould.
Tread marks make it a 235-55r 18.
Big wheels. Muscle car.
I've narrowed it down to two.
Did you happen to pull up the...
DMV registrations for the
last known addresses?
Sure did.
You've been busy.
I also checked Sig alert.
There's a car fire on the 580,
and the bay bridge is a parking lot.
All right, let's go.
Calling to confirm
my town car pickup.
Jefferson street. Oakland.
I'm ready now.
Hey.
Give it back.
Fight!
Get him!
Finish him!
Give it to him!
Come on!
Get him now!
Come on, finish it off.
Come on.
All the fish on the yard,
and you attack one of mine.
You think that proves anything?
You think you're tough now?
Enjoy your month in the hole.
You won't live to see another.
All right, the car's been
here at least a few hours.
Excuse me, ma'am?
Hi.
Do you know who drives this car?
This guy maybe?
You guys are cops?
Mostly.
Yeah.
Guy just moved in with Willie.
Right there.
He's staying there?
Yeah, bringing in groceries,
helping out around the house.
Willie doesn't get around too well.
Thank you.
All right, Doc,
I need you to keep a
lookout from the car.
If Burnett is not in there,
give me a honk if he comes back.
A honk?
A honk.
God, he's got her
daughter's flight number.
- I'm Danielle.
- Hi.
Your mom asked us to pick you up.
Finding everything all right, sir?
Hey.
Welcome back.
How'd that saw work out for you?
Cut like butter.
I told ya.
A 40-inch spade, that'll
get the job done.
Nice blade volume.
Heat-treated carbon steel.
Last you a lifetime.
I'll only be using it the once.
How tall are you?
5'11".
5'11 1/2". Why?
I need this plywood
cut to your height.
Yeah.
Um, anything else?
Flashlight.
Small one.
Yeah, I'll be right back.
What's that?
What's it look like? Dinner.
You want to move up the food chain?
You need a lion's share.
I have to say,
you have a fire in your belly.
A fuel that's driving you,
motivating you to change.
Most men don't.
Helen, right?
No need to tell me.
A man's dying words carry the
weight of either love or loss.
Usually both.
What do you care?
A chicken can do as many
pushups as it wants,
the fox is still gonna eat it.
Your little beat down in the yard.
Poor Artie Yanowski,
all balled up on the
ground, helpless.
You stopped.
What did you expect me to do?
Kill him?
Door.
Resolution's too funky on that.
I can't get a plate or a car number.
Do we know how Burnett pulled it off?
Denver pd spoke with a
co-worker of Danielle's.
The reason police protection
couldn't find her
was she was already on her
way here to San Francisco.
He had her flight number before
he even made the ransom call.
Any limos reported missing today?
We've called all the companies.
They're on alert.
Has Burnett contacted Helen
about having Danielle?
No, not yet.
Okay, good.
So whatever he's planning on
doing, he hasn't done it yet.
What about the saw?
Uh...
Model and partial serial.
Should be good.
Bought the saw at Lunski's hardware.
That's six blocks away
from his safe house.
We got a lead.
Yeah, yeah, that's him.
He came in today.
What'd he buy?
Plywood, hammer, nails, shovel.
He's building a kind of box.
He told you he
was building a box?
The guy sort of freaked me out.
He wanted us to cut the
plywood to my height.
- Thank you.
- He's gonna bury her.
Where?
He used the stables
for the ransom drop,
the place Helen escaped from.
And then she dug up his money
from that field in Danville.
Oh, man.
She said it took her
two weeks to find it.
Help!
Help!
Help!
Help me!
Call Rebecca Madsen on cell.
Calling Rebecca Madsen on cell.
Yeah.
Limo company reports
it's a black town car.
Lojack puts it somewhere
near the field in Danville.
There. That's him.
Right on mile marker 1034.
Send everyone there.
That's a pretty big field.
That's why Burnett's gonna
narrow it down for us.
Hey, boss.
Well, well, well.
If it isn't Rocky Marciano.
Remember what I told you?
That I wouldn't live
to see another day.
That's it.
Neither will you.
What the heck's going on here?
It looks like a fight.
It doesn't look like
much of a fight to me.
If the boy wanted revenge,
why didn't he just kill him?
What he did was worse.
Come on.
Quite the transformation.
You'd be surprised what a man's
capable of if he's pushed too far.
I would have thought you of all
people should understand that.
The strength of the pack is the wolf.
And the strength of
the wolf is the pack.
Let me guess.
Rudyard Kipling.
Just remember whose pack it is, E.B.
Or you might find out what a true
predator's really capable of.
I need him alive.
SFPD.
Stay where you are!
Show me your hands!
Get him down on the ground!
Stop.
This man is wanted
for federal crimes.
This man killed two of my men.
Sergeant.
I understand, believe me,
but this man has buried a woman alive
in Danville field, mile marker 1034.
Call county.
We need every cop, fireman,
and EMT out here.
I mean like it's yesterday. Come on.
Get lost. Let's go.
Move it.
You'll never find her.
We found you.
Eyes up!
Eyes up!
I got something!
Outstanding, guys, outstanding!
Watch it!
Watch her!
You're gonna be okay.
One decision 50 years ago.
And all of this.
I really thought he was
out of my life forever.
He is.
He is, I promise.
Hauser put surveillance on Ray.
Why am I not surprised?
He thinks Ray will lead him to Tommy.
Wait, you okay with this?
Yeah, I am.
Oh.
Okay
but...
One day, this is gonna end.
And, when it does,
we... you, me, Hauser...
We're gonna have to live
with whatever we've done.
It's... it's no good.
It won't work.
Right blood type, but
no colloidal silver.
Burnett's blood is as
normal as yours or mine.
You told me this would work.
Well, there were 300
prisoners on Alcatraz.
Not all of them were
taken an interest in.
Walk away.
Yes, sir.
Thanks for coming.
You got 60 seconds.
I want Rebecca out.
I'm not the one
keeping her in.
She deserves
a real life, Hauser.
Chasing a pension
for 20 years
and then hiding out in a bar?
I'm glad you said no to me
back then, Raymond.
You didn't have
the stomach for it.
But she does.
She's my only family.
Cut her loose.
Why now?
What do you mean?
She's been
on the task force for months.
Why call me now?
You've seen him,
haven't you?
Tommy Madsen.
You've seen him.
Do you want one?
Look at that guy.
Roll down the window,
Simon.
You ever hotbox
with $100 cohibas?
It's like swimming
through a cloud.
You ever sleep
on the couch
'cause your wife thinks
you smell
like a backroom poker game?
Love her too much
to let that happen.
After the deal
you just negotiated,
I don't think Helen's throwing
anybody out of bed tonight.
Whoa!
What the hell was that?
There was a man
in the road.
Damn it.
Cataracts.
Nothing to be ashamed of.
A man your age.
Anything you want.
Just take it.
Okay.
I'll be taking you,
Mr. Pierce.
2088.
Sonny Burnett.
No.
2088.
Your 30 days
of solitary isolation
for new inmate arrivals
is over.
Time to enter the jungle.
Mr. Hicks, Mr. Hicks,
I heard you provide protection?
Protection?
Look around you, fish.
Ain't no one protected here.
What I provide
is more of a deterrent.
I have money.
My last job
was a real estate tycoon.
The family paid 100 grand
to get him back.
You're the kidnapper.
I heard about you.
Snatch and grabs

Shotgun Sonny Burnett.
You got enemies in here
or something?
Not yet.
But I'm a businessman.
And I know a good investment
when I see one.
I'd like to buy
full protection
for the entire time
I'm here.
And I'm supposed to believe

you keep 100 thou

They caught up to me,
not the money.
You sure it's still there?
I bet my life on it.
Looks like you just did.
Bad night?
I keep having those dreams
about my partner and Tommy.
Sorry.
I wish there was a way
you could make it stop.
There is.
I can catch him.
Simon Moore, 42.
And there's this.
2088.
Sonny Burnett,
kidnap and ransom.
- Who'd he kidnap?
- Well, the car is registered
to David Pierce,
CFO of Helen Campbell Cosmetics.
That's a multimillion-dollar
company.
Mr. Pierce is married
to its founder.
So Burnett was waiting for him,
but why leave

CSU found some tire tracks

Hauser, you should really take
some time off.
We're on this.
You were shot.
You're only human.
Keep me informed.
I'll be educating
the SFPD.
You have confirmation
Hauser's human?
I've met a lot of humans.
I got to say,
I don't see it.
I can't believe
Simon is dead.
He... he just got engaged.
Can you tell us
where your husband and
Simon went last night?
Uh, uh, they were at
a business dinner.
David was gonna finalize a deal.
A Brazilian distributor
for Campbell Cosmetics.
We have reason to believe
this is about money.
If it's true,
this is good for David.
For you.
A ransom.
Yeah. Does...
Does that mean something to you?
The same thing happened to me
when I was a girl.
You were kidnapped?
Yes.
His name was Sonny Burnett.
On march 21, 1963,

s01 ep10 - Sonny Burnett
Ugh!
What on God's green earth did
you put on this bullet wound?
You remember when you
brought in Mr. Cobb?
The injury he sustained to his hand?
I shot him.
Well, an injury of that nature
should take months to fully heal.
Cobb's took weeks.
What are you saying?
The '63s you've been rounding up,
they're all in perfect health.
And I mean straight from
God's own factory floor.
Any ailments they used to have
are now gone.
How?
In addition to plasma and platelets,
their blood contains a
third interloper...
Colloidal silver,
which has been known to have healing
properties going back to Hippocrates.
Is that what you were
doing on Alcatraz?
Well, I merely decanted the vital
fluid from the prisoners, sir.
What became of it after God
and the warden only know.
But here they are.
With blood that seems to keep
their murderous bodies
in tip-top shape.
Blood that,
well, could be transfused into a
less-than-healthy body.
Lucy.
Si, senor.
What are the risks?
I wish I knew.
Right now,
none of the inmates share the
good doctor's blood type.
Not yet.
I've taken the Alcatraz
tour a few times,
and I've read about Sonny,
but...
I don't remember you
being connected to him.
Well, I was a minor.
They didn't mention me
in the newspapers, so...
It could be very helpful
if you tell us exactly what happened.
Why?
Why would my kidnapping have
anything to do with this?
Mrs. Campbell, Emerson Hauser, FBI.
I understand your frustration.
Occasionally we get copycats
who base their M.O.
on previous crimes.
So you think that whoever took David
knows what happened to me?
I think we should cover
all our bases so we
can move forward.
I was... I was on my own at 14.
And Sonny was, you know,
drove a muscle car,
always had a lot of cash.
One night,
he parks off the road,
says that there's a little
something I can help him with.
He has a shotgun.
He says it's time to get to work.
So he wanted you to help
him kidnap someone.
Yes.
Tells me to go and stand
out on the highway.
Tells me which car I
should flag down.
That I should...
I should act like I'm in trouble.
And after that
he starts talking like
we're partners.
Took me
almost three months
to get up the nerve
to try and escape.
Then I went to the police,
and, three days later,
he was arrested.
Where did he keep you?
Where did he keep me?
It's fine.
It's not relevant.
Three months.
You said you were kidnapped.
So where did he keep you?
Were you locked in a closet?
Were you handcuffed in the basement?
No.
So you lived with him.
Detective, a word.
We've all been under a
lot of pressure lately.
She knows more than she's letting on.
No kidding.
If you press her, we will lose her,
which will make finding
Burnett that much harder.
Okay, so what?
We're just supposed to sit around
and wait for Burnett's ransom call?
No, I will wait for the ransom call.
And when it comes, I
will summon you back.
Hey.
Is this a bad time?
What's going on?
Your nutcase Fed boss
has got people watching me.
The bar, my apartment.
He must think you know where Tommy is.
Do you?
Of course not.
What is this?
I thought you let this go.
The night my partner died,
we were on a routine b&e.
We saw a guy, chased
him, it was Tommy.
He jumped off the roof, will
followed him, missed the jump.
Tommy could have gotten away
if all he wanted to do was escape,
but he came back to kill him,
like it was personal.
Why?
I don't know.
Oh, I wish I could believe you.
God, what is it about Alcatraz
that makes everybody into a liar?
He's a bad guy, Rebecca.
Is?
You've seen him, haven't you?
Let's go C-Block. Line it up!
Let's go! Let's go, go!
Walk it up!
Step it up!
Did you find it?
Are you stupid or crazy, Burnett?
What are you talking about?
I sent one of my guys on the outside,
to get your cash.
There was nothing there.
He must have went to the wrong place.
No, the box was there, all right.
Exactly where you said it would be.
But there was nothing inside it.
No, no, no, no, no. No one else knew.
Yeah, well, either way.
A bet's a bet.
Helen.
Helen.
Please.
I have money. Call my wife.
She'll give you anything you want.
He wakes.
Who's Helen?
You kept
mumbling the name.
Menelaus-like.
I'd ask about the Elysian fields,
but I doubt you saw them.
What's your meaning?
You died.
Did I not mention that?
No pulse for a full 30 seconds.
How long can I stay in this place?
You're out day after tomorrow.
Third day in general
population, you got stuck.
I must say, that is a record, son.
I just want to do my time in peace.
They're so cute when they're young.
Give him another 30 in his cell.
Let a few new fish chum the water
before we toss him back overboard.
I think that's a mistake.
Look, what after that?
Another 30?
The man has to adapt.
There's no adaptation here.
Only survival.
Natural selection is predetermined.
You arrive with it stamped
right in your file.
Knowing your place on the food chain.
You of all people
should understand that.
I can't go back into
general population.
Let me give you a little advice.
There is no such thing
as just doing time, 2088.
You're either predator or prey.
The sooner you accept that fact,
the sooner you can make a choice.
Which do you want to be?
Call came in 20 minutes ago.
Here's the recording.
Who is this?
I'm a personal
friend of the family.
My only role here is to
facilitate the safe
return of David Pierce.
You're a Fed, but, if you keep
your word, you'll see his face again.
$100,000.
Berkeley downs.
West Barn, stall 23.
In the hay bin will be a saddlebag.
Put the money in and walk away.
All goes well, and I'll
call with his location.
Mrs. Campbell has informed us
that Berkeley downs
is the same place she
was held as a girl
by Sonny Burnett.
The place where you escaped from?
Yes.
And $100,000 is the same
sum that he asked for
on his last job, the
one he got caught on.
So you were right.
Whoever is doing this
must know about what happened to me.
What kind of sick person
would do something like this?
How soon can
you get the money?
You there?
Loud and clear.
Over.
SFPD are in place.
Backup only. It's our op.
Okay, good, let's do this.
This 100 grand in my backpack
is making me nervous.
Hello, Helen.
This is kind of a weird
place for a ransom drop.
There's only one way in or out.
Y-y-you died.
They told me.
You betrayed me.
No. No.
I loved you.
I was 14 years old.
You told me you loved me too.
I-I-I did whatever you told me to do.
Do you know what it's like
having everything
taken away from you?
No.
You will know, Helen.
Plea...
Where is he?
He's in the stable.
Where I sent the police.
At least part of him.
Pierce is dead.
This is not about the money.
Call the police at Helen's house now.
That was SFPD.
Burnett was at Helen's house.
What?
He killed the two officers
who were there watching her.
Helen?
She's unharmed.
What'd he go there for?
Apparently to tell her that
he killed her husband.
He must have wanted to see
her face when she found out.
He's tormenting her.
No other reason to kill David
in such a gruesome way.
He wanted her to suffer.
We need to send full protection out
on everyone that might
be important to her,
starting with her family.
She has a daughter in Colorado.
Neighbours, friends, employees.
Anyone that might be important
in her life that he can hurt.
I don't get it.
All this 'cause she got away.
She was 14.
There is something
she's not telling us.
From eye discoloration
and the clotting inside
the carotid and jugular,
I'd say he was killed at
least four, five hours ago.
Before our guy made the call.
We never had a shot at saving him.
You know what kind of
tool he could have used?
Looks like a power saw.
Blade marks on the duct tape.
Rebecca.
Whoever this guy is, catch him.
Or shoot him.
Well, he didn't walk here.
Have the race track upload
security footage to us.
We can cross-reference it with
cars stolen in the last three
weeks and cars in the lot today.
I gotta say, I'm with Nikki on this.
This is one guy who may
not deserve a cell.
I want him alive.
From now on, I want 'em all alive.
He does realize he's the only
one who shoots them, right?
He looked exactly the
same as when I knew him.
Like he hadn't gotten any older.
There's no rational explanation.
Wait.
You knew.
You knew.
You knew it was him.
Who are you people?
Why is he doing this, Helen?
Because this is personal.
And it seems like
revenge against you.
He thinks I betrayed him.
Did you?
I did what I had to do to survive.
By pretending to be on his
side, to be his partner?
The night before I escaped,
Sonny got drunk.
He was bragging about the
money from the last ransom.
He said that I was the only
person that he trusted.
Then he told me where he hid it.
And, after he went to prison,
I went and found it.
He had buried it in a
field in Danville.
It took me two weeks to find it.
But, after what he'd done to me, I...
This is all my fault, isn't it?
What happened to David.
What...
What if he's always
gonna be out there?
Waiting.
My Uncle Ray thinks you're
having him watched.
And you're gonna ask me to back off?
No, I want to be your first
call if Tommy shows up.
Anything?
Got the surveillance footage
from Berkeley downs.
Couple dozen hits from cars matching makes
and models stolen around San Francisco.
That's a lot.
Then I remembered CSU found
a tire track from the road he snatched Mr.
Pierce from.
Tell me they made a plaster mould.
Tread marks make it a 235-55r 18.
Big wheels. Muscle car.
I've narrowed it down to two.
Did you happen to pull up the...
DMV registrations for the
last known addresses?
Sure did.
You've been busy.
I also checked Sig alert.
There's a car fire on the 580,
and the bay bridge is a parking lot.
All right, let's go.
Calling to confirm
my town car pickup.
Jefferson street. Oakland.
I'm ready now.
Hey.
Give it back.
Fight!
Get him!
Finish him!
Give it to him!
Come on!
Get him now!
Come on, finish it off.
Come on.
All the fish on the yard,
and you attack one of mine.
You think that proves anything?
You think you're tough now?
Enjoy your month in the hole.
You won't live to see another.
All right, the car's been
here at least a few hours.
Excuse me, ma'am?
Hi.
Do you know who drives this car?
This guy maybe?
You guys are cops?
Mostly.
Yeah.
Guy just moved in with Willie.
Right there.
He's staying there?
Yeah, bringing in groceries,
helping out around the house.
Willie doesn't get around too well.
Thank you.
All right, Doc,
I need you to keep a
lookout from the car.
If Burnett is not in there,
give me a honk if he comes back.
A honk?
A honk.
God, he's got her
daughter's flight number.
- I'm Danielle.
- Hi.
Your mom asked us to pick you up.
Finding everything all right, sir?
Hey.
Welcome back.
How'd that saw work out for you?
Cut like butter.
I told ya.
A 40-inch spade, that'll
get the job done.
Nice blade volume.
Heat-treated carbon steel.
Last you a lifetime.
I'll only be using it the once.
How tall are you?
5'11".
5'11 1/2". Why?
I need this plywood
cut to your height.
Yeah.
Um, anything else?
Flashlight.
Small one.
Yeah, I'll be right back.
What's that?
What's it look like? Dinner.
You want to move up the food chain?
You need a lion's share.
I have to say,
you have a fire in your belly.
A fuel that's driving you,
motivating you to change.
Most men don't.
Helen, right?
No need to tell me.
A man's dying words carry the
weight of either love or loss.
Usually both.
What do you care?
A chicken can do as many
pushups as it wants,
the fox is still gonna eat it.
Your little beat down in the yard.
Poor Artie Yanowski,
all balled up on the
ground, helpless.
You stopped.
What did you expect me to do?
Kill him?
Door.
Resolution's too funky on that.
I can't get a plate or a car number.
Do we know how Burnett pulled it off?
Denver pd spoke with a
co-worker of Danielle's.
The reason police protection
couldn't find her
was she was already on her
way here to San Francisco.
He had her flight number before
he even made the ransom call.
Any limos reported missing today?
We've called all the companies.
They're on alert.
Has Burnett contacted Helen
about having Danielle?
No, not yet.
Okay, good.
So whatever he's planning on
doing, he hasn't done it yet.
What about the saw?
Uh...
Model and partial serial.
Should be good.
Bought the saw at Lunski's hardware.
That's six blocks away
from his safe house.
We got a lead.
Yeah, yeah, that's him.
He came in today.
What'd he buy?
Plywood, hammer, nails, shovel.
He's building a kind of box.
He told you he
was building a box?
The guy sort of freaked me out.
He wanted us to cut the
plywood to my height.
- Thank you.
- He's gonna bury her.
Where?
He used the stables
for the ransom drop,
the place Helen escaped from.
And then she dug up his money
from that field in Danville.
Oh, man.
She said it took her
two weeks to find it.
Help!
Help!
Help!
Help me!
Call Rebecca Madsen on cell.
Calling Rebecca Madsen on cell.
Yeah.
Limo company reports
it's a black town car.
Lojack puts it somewhere
near the field in Danville.
There. That's him.
Right on mile marker 1034.
Send everyone there.
That's a pretty big field.
That's why Burnett's gonna
narrow it down for us.
Hey, boss.
Well, well, well.
If it isn't Rocky Marciano.
Remember what I told you?
That I wouldn't live
to see another day.
That's it.
Neither will you.
What the heck's going on here?
It looks like a fight.
It doesn't look like
much of a fight to me.
If the boy wanted revenge,
why didn't he just kill him?
What he did was worse.
Come on.
Quite the transformation.
You'd be surprised what a man's
capable of if he's pushed too far.
I would have thought you of all
people should understand that.
The strength of the pack is the wolf.
And the strength of
the wolf is the pack.
Let me guess.
Rudyard Kipling.
Just remember whose pack it is, E.B.
Or you might find out what a true
predator's really capable of.
I need him alive.
SFPD.
Stay where you are!
Show me your hands!
Get him down on the ground!
Stop.
This man is wanted
for federal crimes.
This man killed two of my men.
Sergeant.
I understand, believe me,
but this man has buried a woman alive
in Danville field, mile marker 1034.
Call county.
We need every cop, fireman,
and EMT out here.
I mean like it's yesterday. Come on.
Get lost. Let's go.
Move it.
You'll never find her.
We found you.
Eyes up!
Eyes up!
I got something!
Outstanding, guys, outstanding!
Watch it!
Watch her!
You're gonna be okay.
One decision 50 years ago.
And all of this.
I really thought he was
out of my life forever.
He is.
He is, I promise.
Hauser put surveillance on Ray.
Why am I not surprised?
He thinks Ray will lead him to Tommy.
Wait, you okay with this?
Yeah, I am.
Oh.
Okay
but...
One day, this is gonna end.
And, when it does,
we... you, me, Hauser...
We're gonna have to live
with whatever we've done.
It's... it's no good.
It won't work.
Right blood type, but
no colloidal silver.
Burnett's blood is as
normal as yours or mine.
You told me this would work.
Well, there were 300
prisoners on Alcatraz.
Not all of them were
taken an interest in.
Walk away.
Yes, sir.
