THE PAIN YOU FEEL IN YOUR ANKLE,
IN YOUR SOUL, YOU MADE THIS.
YOU ARE A PRISONER
TO YOURSELF, NOT ME.
YOU DON'T LOVE YOURSELF.
I LOVE YOU.
MY LOVE... SHALL SET YOU FREE.
HOWARD, I REALLY BELIEVE
YOU'RE IN OVER YOUR HEAD.
YOUR G.P.A. IS TOO BORDERLINE.
YOUR VERBAL S.A.T.'s ARE
ABOVE, BUT YOUR MATH IS BELOW.
YOU HAVE PARTICIPATION IN SCHOOL
ACTIVITIES, BUT IT'S
AUTO CLUB AND BASEBALL.
IF WHAT YOU'RE SAYING HERE IS
THE BETTING LINE IS TO PICK 'EM,
THEN YEAH, I'LL
PLACE THAT BET...
'CAUSE I THINK I CAN GET
ACCEPTED TO STANFORD.
ONCE I GET IN, I
KNOW I'LL DO GREAT.
I MEAN, YEAH, I COULD
FAIL, I GUESS. I DON'T KNOW.
LANDON, WHAT SHOULD I
DO? WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
WELL, WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?
YOU GOT NOTHIN' TO LOSE...
EXCEPT THE $50 APPLICATION FEE.
AND WHAT WOULD YOU KNOW
ABOUT APPLICATION FEES, LANDON?
THEY DON'T CHARGE ANYTHING TO
APPLY FOR A JOB AT THE QUICKIE LUBE.
THIS ISN'T ABOUT ME.
IT'S ABOUT HOWARD'S LIFE.
I DON'T WANT HIM
TO BE DISAPPOINTED.
AND YOU'RE HOLDING HIM DOWN.
A SETBACK EARLY IN LIFE IS HARD TO
OVERCOME FOR SOMEONE LIKE HOWARD.
- LEAVE YOUR OWN LIFE
OUT OF HOWARD'S.
- HOW DARE YOU!
WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT LIFE?
I KNOW YOU NEED OTHERS TO
HELP YOU GET WHERE YOU'RE GOING.
THERE'S A SYSTEM TO THIS LIFE
THAT YOU'LL NEVER BE A PART OF.
IT'S NOT ME! IT'S WHAT HE WANTS!
OR ARE YOU TOO INCAPABLE
OF COMPREHENDING...
ANYTHING BUT YOUR OWN FAILURE?
HEY!
IDIOT!
ALL RIGHT, YOU DIDN'T
MESS IT UP TOO BAD.
HERE, MOVE. I THINK I HAVE
SOME TAPE IN THIS DRAWER.
WHAT'S THE POINT?
SHE SAYS I CAN'T GET IN.
SHE OUGHTA KNOW, RIGHT?
SHE'S A GUIDANCE COUNSELOR.
IT'S HER JOB TO DEAL WITH
COLLEGES. I'M NOTHING.
YOU'RE NOT A NOTHING. YOU CAN'T
LET SOMEONE ELSE CONTROL YOUR LIFE.
ESPECIALLY ROE THE HO.
LOOK, YOU FILL THIS OUT,
GET COACH EDWARDS TO GIVE
YOU A LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION,
YOU GO TO STANFORD.
YOU GET TONS OF SAFE,
PROTECTED TRIM FOR FOUR YEARS,
COME OUT AN ENGINEER, DESIGN
SOME BUILDINGS AND STUFF,
THEN ME AND SOME CONSTRUCTION
GUYS WILL BUILD 'EM FOR YOU.
SO SHUT UP.
LANDON, IT SHOULD BE
THE OTHER WAY AROUND.
I GOT THE GRADES,
BUT YOU GOT THE HEART.
IS-IS THAT YOUR DAD?
HE WASN'T SUPPOSED
TO BE HOME TILL 11:00.
I'LL GO SEE IF HE HAS ANY TAPE.

AUTOPSY, 23rd OF APRIL, 1998,
11:25 A.M.
GROUP PATHOLOGIST,
STUART SHESLOW.
HOWARD GORDON,
AGE 18, HEIGHT 5'9", WEIGHT 175.
NO PRIOR INDICATION OF
ANY HEALTH PROBLEMS.
COUNTY MEDICAL EXAMINER DR. STANLEY
INDICATES CAUSE OF DEATH AS HEART FAILURE.
HEART FAILURE.
HE'S AN 18-YEAR-OLD.
DIDN'T SMOKE. HE WAS
A CATCHER, ALL-COUNTY.
BETWEEN US, FRANK? WHAT?
I THINK THE MEDICAL EXAMINER
TOOK A FLOP ON HIS AUTOPSY,
BECAUSE HE'S NEVER SEEN
ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE.
WHAT'S THE STATUS ON THE SEARCH
FOR THE FRIEND? LANDON BRYCE?
YEAH. NOTHIN'. KID'S GONE ELVIS.
NOW, IF GORDON HAD DIED OF NATURAL
CAUSES, OR THERE WAS SOME KIND OF ACCIDENT,
I WOULD'VE EXPECTED
LANDON TO CALL FOR HELP.
WHEN WAS THE LAST
TIME HE WAS SEEN?
ABOUT 3:30 YESTERDAY.
HE WAS WITH GORDON.
THEY WERE ARGUING WITH SOME
GUIDANCE COUNSELOR AT POLK.
ARGUING?
LANDON WAS STICKIN' UP FOR HOWARD.
THEY'D BEEN FRIENDS SINCE LITTLE LEAGUE.
LANDON HAD TO HAVE BEEN IN
HIS OWN HOUSE WITH GORDON.
WAYLON BRYCE, THE MISSING
KID'S DAD, WORKED A SECOND SHIFT.
HE CAME HOME,
FOUND GORDON'S BODY.
M.E.'s FINDING IS
IN THE BALLPARK.
BOX SEATS OR UPPER DECK?
GORDON DID SUFFER A
MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION.
BUT, SIMULTANEOUSLY, THERE
IS SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE...
OF EXTREME NEUROLOGICAL TRAUMA.
ORDINARILY, I'D SAY IT WAS
A VASOVAGAL REACTION.
AN ORDINARY REACTION WOULD
BE DIZZINESS. AT WORST, FAINTING.
RIGHT.
THIS KID... BASICALLY
INTERNALLY EXPLODED.
- FROM WHAT?
- FEAR.
HE DIED OF FRIGHT.

GOOD AFTERNOON, MA'AM. ANY

THANK YOU. WELCOME TO OREGON.
I KNOW I'M SUPPOSED TO JUST

BUT... I JUST...
NEED AN ANSWER. I'M
SORRY I DON'T HAVE ANY.
I'M JUST SITTING HERE, TRYING
TO GET A FEEL FOR YOUR SON.
GET IN THE MIND OF THE KILLER?
DO YOU THINK THAT'S THE
KIND OF MIND YOUR SON HAS?
LOOK, IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE FOR A
PARENT TO THINK SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
BUT, NO.
NO, LANDON HAS AN
INTERESTING MIND.
HE HAS A STRONG SPIRIT.
HE'S NOT CRIMINAL.
HE'S NOT EVEN MEAN.
YOU SAY LANDON HAS AN
INTERESTING MIND. IN WHAT WAY?
JUST LOOK AT THESE BOOKS.
NABOKOV. ECO. DE-DeLIL...
HE GIVES THEM TO ME TO
READ. I CAN'T GET THROUGH 'EM.
I DON'T KNOW WHY HIS
GRADES AREN'T ANY BETTER.
MRS. BRYCE... SHE HAVE
AN INTERESTING MIND TOO?
THE SMARTEST THING SHE
EVER DID WAS LEAVE ME.
DO YOU THINK HE
LEFT TO BE WITH HER?
LANDON CHOSE TO LIVE WITH ME.
SOMEHOW, LANDON KNEW I...
I COULDN'T LIVE WITHOUT HIM.
HE KNEW HIS MOTHER COULD.
HE'D HAVE A NICE LIFE WITH HER,
COMFORTABLE, BUT HE CAME HERE.

GOT A GRIPE?

THE CRIME SCENE TEAM'S
BEEN ALL OVER THIS ROOM.
NO PRINTS, NO FIBERS.
I'VE NEVER CALLED FROM

FRANK, IT'S A LEAP

NONE OF HER MURDERS
WERE STRANGERS.
EVEN THE JUDGE WAS THE ONE
WHO HAD SENTENCED HER HUSBAND.
SHE KILLED BOB BLETCHER IN
THE CELLAR OF MY OWN HOUSE.
SHE HAS NO HISTORY OF
INVOLVEMENT WITH ABDUCTION.
THERE'S NO EVIDENCE OF HER
PRESENCE AT GORDON'S MURDER.
I FELT HER PRESENCE.
CHROMOSOME STAINING PROCEDURES
ON THE HAIR ROOT SHEATH CELLS...
HAVE DETERMINED THE
SUBJECT TO BE MALE.
AFTER HER RELEASE ON SUSPICION
OF DETECTIVE BLETCHER'S MURDER,
THE GROUP MAINTAINED
SURVEILLANCE ON LUCY BUTLER.
ACCORDING TO REPORTS, SHE
SETTLED INTO A FARMHOUSE IN WACONDA.
SHE ONLY LEFT THE
HOUSE TO GET SUPPLIES.
NO VISITORS. NO IN OR
OUTGOING PHONE CALLS.
THERE WASN'T EVEN
ANY INTERNET ACTIVITY.
THE ONLY MAIL SENT TO HER
WERE BIBLES OR RELIGIOUS TEXTS.
SHE'S SELLING THE IDEA
THAT THE DEVIL IS BORN AGAIN.
FOR NINE MONTHS, REPORTS
WERE MAINTAINED WEEKLY.
BUT HER ACTIVITY WAS SO MINIMAL
THAT SHE WAS DOWNGRADED.
AND SINCE THEN, THE GROUP
MEMBER ON THE CASE, OLSON...
HAS FILED REPORTS
ELECTRONICALLY ONCE A MONTH.
FRANK, THE EVIDENCE, THE
HAIR YOU FOUND AT BRYCE'S,
THE MOTIVE, THESE REPORTS...
DOESN'T POINT TO LUCY BUTLER.
NO, IT DOESN'T.
BUT YOU'RE STILL GONNA
GO OUT TO HER PLACE.
SHE KILLED BOB BLETCHER. SHE

LUCY BUTLER GAINED ACCESS TO

POSSIBLY TORTURED HIM TO

IT'S HARD NOT SEEING
YOUR DAUGHTER EVERY DAY.
- I COULDN'T DO IT.
- I CAN'T IMAGINE
BEING WAYLON BRYCE.
SON DISAPPEARS,
MAYBE HE'S A MURDERER.
MAY BE ABDUCTED. FATHER LEFT...
WITH A LIFE OF NOTHING
BUT "AS IFS," "IF ONLYS" AND...
LANDON APPEARS TO HAVE
BEEN AN AVERAGE STUDENT,
AVERAGE GRADES,
NO JUVENILE RECORD.
HE DIDN'T EVEN
BOTHER WITH THE S.A.T.'s.
YET HE WAS VOTED
MOST LIKELY TO SUCCEED.
MAYBE HIS PEERS KNOW
SOMETHING HIS TEACHERS DON'T.
HMM. WELL, A LOT OF GREAT MEN WERE
CONSIDERED TO HAVE NO POTENTIAL.
EINSTEIN WAS THOUGHT
TO BE A WASHOUT.
WASHINGTON'S FAULTY LEADERSHIP

GIFTED CAN UNDERSTAND.

LANDON BRYCE IS THE KIND OF STUDENT
MAKES MY JOB SUCH A CHALLENGE.
HE WAS A CLASSIC UNDERACHIEVER.
BRIGHT, INTELLIGENT,
BUT AN UNDERACHIEVER.
POPULAR WITH THE STUDENTS.
NOT WITH THE FACULTY.
WHY NOT? OH, HE HAD
VERY STRONG OPINIONS.
WASN'T AFRAID TO
EXPRESS THEM. OH.
THE MADDENING THING, I SUPPOSE,
IS THAT HE WAS USUALLY RIGHT.
PRINCIPAL DELGADO TRIED
TO SHIP HIM TO ONE OF
THE OTHER PLANTS SINCE
LANDON'S FRESHMAN YEAR.
PLANTS? THAT'S WHAT THE
ADMINISTRATORS CALL SCHOOLS.
THIS ARGUMENT WITH LANDON BRYCE OVER
HOWARD GORDON, THAT MUST HAVE UPSET YOU.
CERTAINLY, AT THE TIME. I
FORGOT ABOUT IT RIGHT AWAY.

McLAREN. DAMON McLAREN.
DID YOU KNOW HIM WHEN
YOU WERE AT BUTLER?
IN 10 YEARS OF TEACHING AND COUNSELING,
I'VE KNOWN THOUSANDS OF STUDENTS.
YES, I REMEMBER DAMON.
WHAT WAS SO SPECIAL THAT
YOU RECALL DAMON McLAREN?
I RECALL THAT HE WAS MISSING.
WHAT ABOUT ANDREA DAUGHERTY?
SHE WAS VICE PRESIDENT
OF THE SENIOR CLASS.
SHE WAS VOTED MOST
LIKELY TO SUCCEED.
I DON'T RECALL HER FROM BUTLER.
NO, NO, NO. WASHINGTON HIGH.
ANDREA DAUGHERTY WENT MISSING
FROM HER HOME JANUARY 12, 1990.
NOW, YOU WERE AT BOTH SCHOOLS.
AND NOW LANDON BRYCE AT POLK.
IS THERE CONCRETE EVIDENCE THAT
LANDON BRYCE HAS BEEN ABDUCTED?
WHEN WE TALKED, YOU ONLY
REFERRED TO HIM IN THE PAST TENSE.
DO YOU REMEMBER THAT?
LIKE, "HE WAS AN UNDERACHIEVER."
OR, "HE HAD VERY
STRONG OPINIONS."
AND I THINK THE OTHER ONE
WAS, "HE WAS A VERY SPIRITED KID."
DO YOU KNOW SOMETHING WE DON'T?
YES, I SPEAK ABOUT LANDON
BRYCE IN THE PAST TENSE...
BECAUSE THERE'S THIS
SYSTEM IN PLACE, GENTLEMEN,
ONE THAT CONSTANTLY EVALUATES
OUR YOUTHS AND OUR LIVES...
WITH NO APPLICATION
OF RELATIVITY.
A 4.0 WILL SUCCEED,
A 2.5 WILL NOT.
BELOW 750 ON THE S.A.T.'s,
AND CERTAIN DOORS CLOSE.
NOT QUALITY OF PERSON,
SENSE OF HUMOR, HEART.
THESE ARE NOT ON ANY APPLICATIONS.
IT'S ALL ABOUT YOUR NUMBERS.
AND ALTHOUGH, YES, DEFINITELY,
LANDON BRYCE HAD "IT,"
THAT INTANGIBILITY OF SOUL
THAT KEPT HIM IN SCHOOL,
THAT COULD ALLOW HIM TO AFFECT THE
QUALITY OF OUR LIVES FOR THE BETTER,
THAT COULD LEAD PEOPLE
WHERE THEY WISH TO GO,
LANDON BRYCE COULDN'T
PASS THROUGH THE NUMBERS.
NUMBERS WHICH TELL A YOUNG
PERSON AT 18 THEY'RE THROUGH.
AND UNLESS THERE'S SOME
MIRACLE OF TIMING OR EVENTS...
AND GREATNESS IS THRUST
UPON YOU, YOUR LIFE IS OVER.
"NEXT." SO IF I'M
GUILTY OF ANYTHING,
IT'S OF GIVING INTO THIS
DESPICABLE SYSTEM OF NUMBERS.

WITH NO APPLICATION

A 4.0 WILL SUCCEED,
A 2.5 WILL NOT.
BELOW 750 ON THE S.A.T.'s,
AND CERTAIN DOORS CLOSE.
NOT QUALITY OF PERSON,
SENSE OF HUMOR, HEART.
THESE ARE NOT ON ANY APPLICATIONS.
IT'S ALL ABOUT YOUR NUMBERS.
AND ALTHOUGH, YES, DEFINITELY,
LANDON BRYCE HAD "IT,"
THAT INTANGIBILITY OF SOUL
THAT KEPT HIM IN SCHOOL,
THAT COULD ALLOW HIM TO AFFECT THE
QUALITY OF OUR LIVES FOR THE BETTER,
THAT COULD LEAD PEOPLE
WHERE THEY WISH TO GO,
LANDON BRYCE COULDN'T
PASS THROUGH THE NUMBERS.
NUMBERS WHICH TELL A YOUNG
PERSON AT 18 THEY'RE THROUGH.
AND UNLESS THERE'S SOME
MIRACLE OF TIMING OR EVENTS...
