Millennium (1996–1999): Season 2, Episode 7 - 19:19 - full transcript
Frank and Watts join the search for a busload of missing children.
THE FORECAST IS FOR AN
OVERNIGHT LOW IN THE 40s.
THERE IS A 70% CHANCE
OF THUNDERSTORMS...
ARABIA, IN WHAT IS
DESCRIBED AS THE LARGEST...
THE NETS TOOK CARE OF THE
MAGIC 112 TO 109, DESPITE...
RESIDENTS OF THE OLSEN CREEK
AREA BATTLED MOTHER NATURE...
NATO'S LATEST MEMBER
HAS A NEW PROBLEM.
HOWEVER, THESE PROBLEMS ARE
INTERNAL, RATHER THAN EXTERNAL.
THE QUAKE MEASURED
5.5 ON THE RICHTER SCALE.
NO REPORTS OF INJURY OR DAMAGES.
SCIENTISTS ARE CALLING
THIS AN AFTERSHOCK...
LIKE OTHER FORMER
SOVIET BLOC NATIONS,
THE COLLAPSE
OF THE U.S.S.R. IS...
PALESTINIAN LEADER YASSER
ARAFAT HAS AGREED IN PRINCIPLE...
TO THE DETAILS OF THE
UPCOMING ROUND OF PEACE TALKS.
PRESIDENT CLINTON HAS ENDORSED THE PLANNED
SUMMIT IN JANUARY, AFTER THE HOLIDAYS.
THE CZECH REPUBLIC OFFICIALLY
ACCEPTED ITS MEMBERSHIP IN NATO.
IN A CEREMONY WITNESSED BY
SECRETARY OF STATE MADELINE ALBRIGHT...
IN HER ADDRESS, SECRETARY ALBRIGHT MADE
VEILED HINTS AT FURTHER NATO EXPANSIONS.
MADE SINCE BECOMING CANDIDATES OF
THE NORTH ATLANTIC TREATY ORGANIZATION.
AND WHEN THE LAMB
OPENED THE SECOND SEAL,
I HEARD THE SECOND
BEAST SAY, "COME."
AND THERE WENT OUT
ANOTHER HORSE THAT WAS RED.
AND POWER WAS GIVEN
TO HIM THAT SAT THEREON...
TO TAKE PEACE FROM THE EARTH
AND TO MAKE MEN SLAY EACH OTHER.
TO HIM WAS GIVEN A LARGE SWORD.
THE GREAT DAY OF
HIS WRATH IS COME!
AND WHO SHALL BE ABLE TO STAND?
THESE ARE THE FLYERS THEY'VE
BEEN HANDIN' OUT ACROSS THE STATE.
THE PARENTS STARTED CALLIN' THE SCHOOL WHEN
THEIR KIDS DIDN'T SHOW UP HOME ON TIME.
FIVE HOURS LATER, THERE'S STILL
NO TRACE OF THEM OR THE BUS.
BUS DRIVER? VERNON ROBERTS.
BORN AND RAISED HERE. BEEN
DRIVIN' THE SCHOOL BUS FOR 22 YEARS.
MORE THAN LIKELY
HE'S A VICTIM TOO.
THIS IS A SMALL TOWN, FRANK. FARMERS,
MOSTLY. HEART OF THE BIBLE BELT.
EVERYONE KNOWS HIS NEIGHBORS.
I HAVE TO BELIEVE WHATEVER
HAPPENED HERE CAME FROM WITHOUT.
IF THIS WAS AN ABDUCTION, WE HAVE
TO FIND THE POINT OF ENCOUNTER...
BEFORE THE RAIN WASHES
AWAY EVERY TRACE.
THE F.B.I.'s BEEN INFORMED. THE STATE
TROOPERS ARE CHECKIN' OUT THE BUS ROUTE.
- MR. WATTS,
THEY FOUND THE BUS.
- LET'S GO.
WINCH IT SLOW! GOT
THE CAB COMIN' NOW.
SHERIFF CAYCE,
THIS IS FRANK BLACK.
I UNDERSTAND THIS LOCATION IS QUITE A
DISTANCE AWAY FROM THE NORMAL ROUTE.
SHERIFF?
DO YOU HAVE A CHILD ON THAT BUS?
MY DAUGHTER, JESSICA.
SHE JUST TURNED EIGHT.
BEFORE I SAW THE
BUS IN THE WATER,
I STILL HAD HOPE THAT
THIS WAS SOMETHING...
ANYTHING... OTHER THAN THIS.
I PREPARED MYSELF.
I RECALLED THE TIMES I HAD TO TELL
A FATHER THAT HIS CHILD JUST DIED.
I THOUGHT I KNEW HOW IT'D FEEL
TO BE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS.
IF THIS WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT,
THE BODIES ARE STILL INSIDE.
IT'S INSANITY TO WISH
FOR A MASS ABDUCTION.
BETTER A SLIM CHANCE
THAN NO CHANCE.
WE GOT OUR WISH.
MR. VERNON?
WHERE ARE WE GOING?
YOU'LL SEE WHEN
WE GET THERE, HONEY.
I WANT TO GO HOME!
OKAY. EVERYBODY LISTEN TO ME.
I WANT YOU TO HOLD HANDS
WITH THE PERSON NEXT TO YOU.
CAN YOU DO THAT?
EVERYBODY HOLDIN' HANDS?
WE'RE GONNA HAVE A PRAYER.
OUR FATHER, WHO ART IN HEAVEN,
HALLOWED BE THY NAME.
THY KINGDOM COME,
THY WILL BE DONE,
IN EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN.
GIVE US THIS DAY
OUR DAILY BREAD...
AND FORGIVE US OUR DEBTS,
AS WE FORGIVE OUR DEBTORS.
AS WE FORGIVE OUR DEBTORS.
AND LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION,
BUT DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
FOR THINE IS THE KINGDOM...
AND THE POWER AND
THE GLORY FOREVER.
THE CRIME SCENE'S BACK THERE.
NO, IT'S HERE. AND UP THAT
ROAD ABOUT FIVE MILES.
THAT WAS THE POINT OF
ENCOUNTER, BEFORE THE
BUS DRIVER COULD DROP
OFF THE FIRST STUDENT.
THE BUS WOULD HAVE BEEN FORCED
TO STOP BECAUSE OF AN OBSTACLE...
DEBRIS ON THE HIGHWAY
OR A DISABLED VEHICLE.
THE ABDUCTOR WOULD BE
FEIGNING WEAKNESS OR INJURY...
SO AS NOT TO PRESENT A
THREAT TO THE BUS DRIVER.
HE WOULD APPROACH WITH DIFFICULTY,
FURTHER DISARMING SUSPICION.
THE NEXT MOVE IS PURE SURPRISE, WITH
A BLITZ ATTACK SO SUDDEN AND VICIOUS,
THE ABDUCTOR EASILY
DISABLES HIS ONLY THREAT.
HE MIGHT KILL THE DRIVER, THOUGH I WOULD
HAVE EXPECTED TO FIND THE BODY ON THE BUS.
MOMENTS AFTER THE POINT OF
ENCOUNTER, HE DRIVES AWAY.
ALTHOUGH HE'S NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE,
IN HIS MIND HE'S LIVED IT A THOUSAND TIMES.
IN LESS THAN TEN
MINUTES, THEY ARRIVE HERE,
AND THE ABDUCTOR
GUARDS THE FRONT.
A TRUCK OR A VAN
PULLS UP BEHIND THE BUS.
THE KIDS ARE HERDED TOWARD
THE EMERGENCY EXIT IN THE REAR...
AND FORCED INTO
THE ESCAPE VEHICLE.
THE BUS IS THEN DRIVEN INTO
THE RIVER TO BUY HIM TIME.
- THERE MUST HAVE BEEN MORE
THAN ONE KIDNAPPER.
- THERE WAS AN ACCOMPLICE.
BUT THIS WAS FROM
THE MIND OF ONE MAN.
TO FIND THE CHILDREN, WE'RE GONNA
HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THE WHY OF IT.
WELL, WITH ALL DUE RESPECT,
MR. BLACK, I REALLY DON'T CARE WHY.
I JUST WANT TO CATCH HIM.
I DETECTED A WHITE PAINT MARK ON
THE EDGE OF THE EMERGENCY DOOR.
I BELIEVE THAT'S THE COLOR
OF THE KIDNAPPERS' VEHICLE.
I'LL GET A BULLETIN OUT ON A
WHITE VAN OR TRUCK RIGHT NOW.
THAT'LL GIVE US SOMETHIN' TO WORK
ON TILL WE GET THE RANSOM DEMAND.
- THERE WON'T BE
A RANSOM DEMAND.
- HOW DO YOU KNOW?
EXPERIENCE.
DISPATCH, THIS IS BAKER SEVEN RESPONDING
TO AN A.P.B. ON A WHITE TRUCK OR VAN.
I NEED TO RUN A PLATE AND A
10-29 ON A LATE-'80s ECONOLINE.
ROMEO FOX SIERRA...
FOUR FIVE EIGHT.
BAKER SEVEN, THAT'S A CLEAN PLATE.
NO WARRANTS OUTSTANDING. NO REPORTS.
WHOA! I GOT A RABBIT! HE'S
HEADING EAST ON LONSDALE!
BAKER SEVEN, PROCEED ON
CODE TWO: POSSIBLE HOSTAGES.
SHERIFF! HIGHWAY PATROL'S
IN PURSUIT OF A WHITE VAN.
- IT'S RUNNIN' EAST
ON LONSDALE ROAD.
- HE'S HEADIN' OUR WAY.
I WANT TO GET PATCHED
INTO THAT TROOPER.
LET'S GET EVERY AVAILABLE
VEHICLE ON THIS NOW.
MR. BLACK? LOOKS LIKE YOU GET
TO ASK HIM WHY FACE-TO-FACE.
BAKER SEVEN, THIS IS
McCURTAIN COUNTY SHERIFF.
YOU GOT A 20 ON THAT WHITE VAN?
STILL PROCEEDING EAST ON
LONSDALE, APPROACHING HIGHWAY 58.
IF HE GETS ONTO 58, WE'LL CUT
HIM OFF AT THE JUNCTION TO 60.
IF HE STAYS ON LONSDALE, WE'LL
SET THE ROADBLOCK UP AT LOUIS ROAD.
DID THEY RUN THE
PLATE ON THAT VAN?
YOU GOT A NAME TO
GO WITH THE VEHICLE?
THE VEHICLE IS REGISTERED IN
TEXAS TO A ROBERT RENEE THOMAS.
- TEXAS?
- THIRTY-SIX, CAUCASIAN.
HUNDRED AND SIXTY FIVE,
FIVE-NINE. BROWN HAIR, BROWN EYES.
IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO
COME FROM OUT OF STATE.
THE ABDUCTION WAS TOO WELL ORGANIZED.
THEY EITHER KNEW OR STUDIED THOSE CHILDREN.
WAS THE VEHICLE
REPORTED STOLEN? NEGATIVE.
- HE'S NOW HEADING SOUTH DOWN 58.
- LET'S TAKE THIS GUY OUT
AT THE JUNCTION TO 60.
LIGHT HIM UP A QUARTER MILE
AWAY, AND WE'LL BE WAITING.
HE'S PUTTIN' THE HAMMER DOWN
NOW. I'M GONNA LIGHT HIM UP.
STEP OUT OF THE VEHICLE!
KEEP YOUR HANDS
WHERE WE CAN SEE 'EM!
INTERLACE YOUR FINGERS.
PUT 'EM ON TOP OF YOUR HEAD!
NOW LAY FACEDOWN ON THE GROUND!
I KNOW WE WERE SPEEDIN'. I'M
SORRY. IF WE CAN JUST GET THE TICKET?
WE'VE TRACKED A SPLITTING
STORM WITH A B.R.N. OF 89.
THAT'S RIPE FOR A
SUPERCELL. WE GOTTA GET THE
TURTLE OUT OF THE VAN
AND ONTO THE GROUND!
WHAT THE HELL ARE
YOU TALKIN' ABOUT?
THEY'RE NOT THE ONES WE'RE LOOKING FOR.
THEY'RE METEOROLOGISTS. STORM CHASERS.
OFFICERS, A PIECE OF ADVICE?
I'M READING VORTEX SIGNATURES
AT AROUND 10,000 FEET.
SO WHOEVER YOU'RE LOOKIN'
FOR, YOU'D BETTER FIND HIM QUICK,
'CAUSE THERE'S A
BAD BOY OUT THERE.
AND WHEN HE HITS...
THERE'LL BE
NOTHIN' LEFT TO FIND.
COME OUT ONE AT A TIME. I NEED A
PIECE OF CLOTHING AND YOUR NAME.
YOU. GET IN THE HOLE...
AND HELP 'EM DOWN.
THIS CAN'T BE ABOUT THE MONEY.
THE PARENTS OF THESE KIDS...
ARE FARMERS, CLERKS...
WORKING CLASS.
I'VE CONSULTED WITH THE GROUP.
THEY THINK IT'S HIGHLY UNLIKELY...
THIS WAS AN ACTION PERPETRATED
BY FOREIGN TERRORISTS.
THEY'RE CHECKING RECENT MILITIA
ACTIVITY, POSSIBLY A POLITICAL STATEMENT.
THIS FEELS MORE
PERSONAL. IT'S...
AN ACT AGAINST THE PARENTS?
HURT THEM THROUGH
THEIR OFFSPRING?
IT'S TERRIFYING THERE'S
BEEN NO COMMUNICATION.
IF THEY'RE USING THESE KIDS
AS COMMODITIES TO BE BARTERED,
THEN HE SHOULD HAVE CONTACTED US BY
NOW TO ASSURE US THAT THE GOODS WERE SAFE.
UNLESS HE HAS ANOTHER PURPOSE.
EVERY CHILD OF SCHOOL AGE IN
BROKEN BOW WAS ON THAT BUS.
HE'S TAKEN MORE THAN THE CHILDREN,
HASN'T HE? HE'S TAKEN AWAY THEIR FUTURE.
HOW MANY CHILDREN
WERE ON YOUR BUS TODAY?
SEVENTEEN.
THERE ARE EIGHTEEN
IN THE SCHOOL.
YOU WERE TO MAKE CERTAIN.
YOU TELL ME WHO'S MISSING.
I CAN'T.
I CAN'T.
IT'S NO GOOD IF
THEY'RE NOT ALL HERE.
WORTHY IS THE LAMB
THAT WAS SLAIN...
TO RECEIVE POWER AND RICHES...
AND WISDOM AND STRENGTH...
AND HONOR AND
GLORY AND BLESSING.
VERNON, TELL ME...
ARE YOU WORTHY?
THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE
HAS ISSUED A STORM ADVISORY...
OVER SOUTHEASTERN OKLAHOMA.
THERE IS A 40% CHANCE OF
THUNDERSHOWERS TONIGHT,
INCREASING TO 60% BY TOMORROW.
NOW, BACK TO THIS WEEK'S
TOP-40 COUNTDOWN ON K-ROZ.
♪♪
♪ BLESS THE BEASTS ♪ I WAS GOIN'
OVER THE LOGBOOKS FROM THIS AFTERNOON.
♪ AND THE CHILDREN
FOR IN THIS WORLD ♪
WHAT? YOU WANT TO
HEAR YOUR FAVORITE SONG?
AND I SAW THE BEAST AND
THE KINGS OF THE EARTH...
AND THEIR ARMIES
GATHERED TOGETHER...
TO MAKE WAR AGAINST HIM THAT SAT
ON THE HORSE AND AGAINST HIS ARMY.
HOW'D YOU KNOW
THERE'D BE A MESSAGE?
EVEN I KNOW THAT
SONG'S NOT ON THE TOP 40.
SO, UH, AFTER THE
WEATHER, WHICH I DO LIVE,
I-I PLAY THE PRE-RECORDS.
AND THEN INSTEAD OF SPICE
GIRLS, I GET PSYCHO BOY.
♪♪
I WANT A LIST OF ALL THE PEOPLE
WHO HAVE ACCESS TO THIS ROOM...
JANITORS, TECHNICIANS...
ANYBODY WITH A KEY.
AND I SAW THE BEAST...
AND THE KINGS OF THE EARTH... INTERESTING
CHOICE OF MUSIC, CONSIDERING THE MESSAGE.
- HE'S QUOTING THE BIBLE.
- I WOULDN'T MAKE
TOO MUCH OF THAT.
IT'S NOT UNCOMMON FOR FOLKS AROUND HERE
TO CITE THE BIBLE IN EVERYDAY CONVERSATION.
THE PASSAGE IS FROM
REVELATION 19, VERSE 19.
MAYBE HE CONSIDERS
HIMSELF THE ONE ON THE HORSE.
NINETEEN? THERE WERE 18 VICTIMS.
SEVENTEEN CHILDREN,
ONE BUS DRIVER.
- HOW MANY CHILDREN
ATTEND THE SCHOOL?
- EIGHTEEN.
MAKING 19 VICTIMS.
WHO MISSED SCHOOL TODAY?
- HE'S IN THERE!
- COVER THE BACKYARD!
RICK! RICK, WHERE IS HE?
MY SON! MY SON!
AAH!
YOU SON OF A BITCH!
NO! NO! THIS GETS YOU NOTHING.
NOTHING! BELIEVE
ME. I'VE BEEN THERE.
HE'S THE ONLY ONE
THAT CAN HELP US.
WE'RE RUNNING YOUR PRINTS.
IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF MINUTES
BEFORE I'LL KNOW YOUR WHOLE HISTORY.
WHERE ARE THEY?
YOU'RE IN A WORLD OF TROUBLE.
GIVE ME A REASON TO HELP YOU.
WE ARE GONNA FIND THEM.
IT'S GONNA BE A LOT EASIER FOR
YOU IF YOU HELP. HE'S NOT GONNA TALK.
AND YOU'RE NOT GONNA FIND
ANYTHING TO MATCH HIS PRINTS.
HE HAS TO HAVE A PRIOR RECORD.
IT'S HIGHLY UNUSUAL FOR A CRIMINAL TO
START A CAREER WITH A MASS ABDUCTION.
HE'S NOT A CRIMINAL.
AND HE HASN'T COMMITTED ANY CRIME.
THAT'S THE MESSAGE HE'S GIVING US.
TO HIM, THIS IS A FIGHT
BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL,
AND WE'RE THE ONES WITH
THE HORNS AND THE PITCHFORKS.
TILL WE UNDERSTAND THAT AND ACT
ACCORDINGLY, WE'RE NOT GONNA FIND THEM.
SHERIFF?
THIS WAS JUST FOUND
AT THE TISDALE RANCH.
WHAT THE HELL IS HE DOING?
IT'S TOO LATE, ASS-WIPE.
I DON'T NEED YOUR HELP.
I'VE GOT YOU NOW.
YOU ARE GONNA DIE FOR YOUR
SINS IF I HAVE TO KILL YOU MYSELF!
WE JUST LOST ROUND ONE.
GOT ANOTHER ONE!
FOUND ONE OVER HERE!
SHERIFF, IT'S A DECOY.
THEY'RE NOT HERE.
WELL, THIS IS ALL I CAN DO.
I'M AFRAID IF I DON'T KEEP
GOIN' AND KEEP MOVIN',
NO MATTER HOW HOPELESS,
THEN IT'LL BECOME EXACTLY THAT.
EVERY PIECE OF CLOTHING
THAT WE FOUND HAS BLOOD ON IT.
FRANK, I DON'T TRUST MYSELF
TO FACE THIS ANIMAL AGAIN.
I'M NOT TRYIN' TO MAKE YOU
FEEL BETTER BY SAYING THIS,
BUT I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THE BLOOD ON
THOSE CLOTHES ARE FROM THOSE CHILDREN.
IT'S NOT HUMAN. THE LAB
RAN A QUICK ANALYSIS.
THEY DETERMINED THE
BLOOD CAME FROM AN ANIMAL.
ALSO, THEY FOUND FIBER
EMBEDDED IN THE FABRIC,
SO THE BLOOD WAS
PAINTED ONTO THE CLOTHING.
LAMB'S BLOOD. PASSOVER?
ALSO REVELATION,
CHAPTER SIX, VERSE FIVE.
THE LAMB OPENED THE SEVEN SEALS.
NO LUCK ON THE FINGERPRINTS YET,
SO HIS IDENTITY IS STILL A MYSTERY.
THE "LAMB" IN REVELATION
REPRESENTS JESUS CHRIST.
IS THAT WHO THIS
GUY THINKS HE IS?
NO. IT FEELS MORE LIKE
HE'S SENDING US CLUES.
SHERIFF, WHERE IS THE NEAREST
RELIGIOUS BOOKSTORE TO BROKEN BOW,
ONE THAT HAS A BIG
STOCK OF SPECIALTY ITEMS...
BOOKS ON PROPHECY,
REVELATION, APOCRYPHA?
WELL, EVERY STORE IN THE WORLD
IS AS CLOSE AS THE POST OFFICE.
MAIL ORDER IS THE
WAY MOST PEOPLE SHOP.
THE GROUP HAS A DATABASE THAT CAN HELP.
WE CAN SPIT OUT THE NAME AND ADDRESS...
OF ANYONE WHO'S BOUGHT
A BIBLE THROUGH THE MAIL...
IN THIS COUNTRY OVER
THE LAST 10 YEARS.
THEN WE CAN NARROW THAT SEARCH
IF HE'S PURCHASED SPECIALTY ITEMS.
YOU'RE TELLING ME THE MILLENNIUM GROUP
KEEPS TRACK OF ANYONE WHO BUYS A BOOK?
CERTAIN BOOKS.
WHY?
EXACTLY THIS REASON.
MR. VERNON?
UM, IF WE PILE UP
THESE MATTRESSES,
WE COULD REACH
THE TOP AND GET OUT.
WE'VE ALREADY STARTED,
BUT WE NEED YOUR HELP.
MY DADDY ALWAYS SAID...
THAT IT'S NOT WHAT YOU'VE DONE.
IT'S WHAT YOU'RE GONNA DO.
TWO MORE NAMES LEFT ON THE LIST.
INTERESTING HOW MANY
HOUSEHOLDS BOUGHT A NEW BIBLE...
AND AT THE SAME TIME RENEWED
THEIR SUBSCRIPTION TO GUNS & AMMO.
HEY, I GOT A CALL
FROM THE GROUP.
BACK IN SEATTLE THERE'S A
WARRANT ISSUED IN YOUR NAME...
BECAUSE OF AN
UNPAID TRAFFIC TICKET.
IT'S A MISTAKE. THEY
NEVER SENT A NOTICE,
THEN INFORMED ME IT WAS OVERDUE,
CITING A VEHICLE I'VE NEVER
SEEN, LET ALONE DRIVEN.
IT SEEMS THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF
DISTRACTIONS LIKE THAT LATELY.
- WELL, WE'LL TAKE CARE OF IT.
- NO, I'LL HANDLE IT.
THAT'S IT.
ANYBODY HOME?
CAN YOU SEND FOR LARA MEANS?
I KNOW SHE WORKS WITH
THE GROUP. SHE KNOWS I DO.
SHE'S A GOOD
FORENSIC PSYCHOLOGIST.
WE CAN USE HER
FRIENDS IN HIGH PLACES.
YOU'VE ALREADY BROWNED AND
DRIED YOUR FRESH ROSEMARY.
WE'RE SITTING IN
SOMEONE'S BRAIN.
THIS IS WRONG.
EASTERN KINGS WILL BE PITTED
AGAINST THE KINGS OF THE NORTH.
EUROPE, THE UNITED STATES.
NOT IRAQ.
"GOG" IS NOT CHINA.
IT'S THE RUSSIANS.
SO, THAT MAKES "MAGOG" AMERICA.
THAT WAS A NICE CALL, LARA,
TO COPY IT DOWN INCORRECTLY.
AN OBSESSIVE PERSONALITY
WOULD NEVER BE ABLE
TO STAND THE GLARING
ERRORS IN HIS WORK.
IT'S JUST A, A JUMP
START TO GET HIM TALKING.
IT'S STILL UP TO FRANK
TO DRAW HIM OUT.
DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA
WHAT YOU HAVE HERE?
AFTER THE SECOND GREAT
STRUGGLE BETWEEN THE NATIONS...
WILL COME THE THIRD WORLD WAR,
WHICH WILL DETERMINE EVERYTHING.
WITH EYES OPEN WILL
THE WORLD'S NATIONS...
ENTER INTO THESE CATASTROPHES.
THEY SHALL NOT BE AWARE OF WHAT
IS HAPPENING. AND THOSE THAT WOULD,
AND WILL TELL,
SHALL BE SILENCED.
I WAS PARAPHRASING.
STORMBERGER. EIGHTEENTH CENTURY.
YOU UNDERSTAND MY PROBLEM.
YOU FELT MATTHEW
PRINE HAD TO ACT.
SOMEBODY HAD TO.
I DIDN'T SEE ANYBODY
ELSE STEPPIN' UP.
SO BY TAKING THE CHILDREN, YOU CAN
STOP IT. STOP THE WAR BEFORE IT STARTS.
WORLD WAR THREE
HAS ALREADY STARTED.
PEOPLE ALWAYS THINK THAT
WARS HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE,
BUT THEY REALLY
HAPPEN IN THE PAST.
THE FIGHTING IS JUST THE INEVITABLE RESULT
OF EVENTS THAT HAVE ALREADY OCCURRED.
SO, WHY TAKE THE CHILDREN?
JUST AS HE WHO WILL
FIGHT THE WAR IS BORN,
SO IS HE THAT WILL
END THE FIGHTING.
ONE OF THE CHILDREN
WAS A PEACEMAKER.
HE, OR SHE, IS OUR ONLY HOPE.
I'VE SEEN THE SEEDS
OF DESTRUCTION.
I AM PROTECTING THE FUTURE.
FROM WHAT?
IF I KNEW WHAT,
I WOULD HAVE ELIMINATED
THE THREAT MYSELF.
SO YOU HAVE NO INTENTION OF HARMING
THEM. WHEN WILL THEY BE RETURNED?
WHEN I SEE THE SIGN.
WHAT IF YOU DON'T SEE THAT SIGN?
THEN OUR SAVIOR WASN'T THERE.
AND IT DOESN'T MATTER
IF THESE LIVE OR DIE.
SINCE YOU KNOW YOU HAVE
NO INTENTION OF HARMING THEM,
WHEN ARE YOU GONNA RELEASE THEM?
THERE. THAT'S THE TELL.
IT LOOKS LIKE HE'S
SCRATCHIN' HIS HANDS. EXACTLY.
BUT IT'S WHEN HE CHOOSES
TO SCRATCH THAT'S TELLING.
THIS IS THE FIRST EXPLICIT MENTION OF
THE CHILDREN DURING THE INTERROGATION.
WATCH THE RIGHT HAND.
THERE. IF HE JUST HAD
AN ITCH, OR WHATEVER,
YOU'D EXPECT HIM TO
SCRATCH RANDOMLY.
THIS SCRATCHING IS
SUBCONSCIOUSLY MOTIVATED.
EVERY TIME HE'S FORCED TO THINK
ABOUT THE CHILDREN, HE REACTS.
HE'S SHOWING US HIS GUILT.
I KNOW HE'S GUILTY.
WHAT WE NEED IS THE
LOCATION OF THE CHILDREN.
IF HIS MOTIVES ARE WHAT HE
SAYS, ARE THE CHILDREN IN DANGER?
HE CLAIMS TO BE PROTECTING
THEM. YEAH. HERE'S MY THING.
HE CAN'T EVEN BRING HIMSELF
TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE CHILDREN.
"IT DOESN'T MATTER
IF THESE LIVE OR DIE."
DO YOU THINK HE WOULD MANIFEST
THIS SAME BEHAVIOR, THIS TELL,
IF HE WAS BROUGHT IN ON A
LOCATION NEAR THE CHILDREN?
IF WE WERE TO DRIVE HIM BY THE
PLACE WHERE THE CHILDREN WERE KEPT...
AND WATCHED HIM
WITHOUT HIS KNOWLEDGE,
I HAVE A FEELING HE'D
SCRATCH HIS SKIN TO THE BONE.
THERE'S OVER 1,800
MILES IN THE COUNTY.
THERE'S NO WAY WE COULD DRIVE
BY EVERY POSSIBLE HIDING PLACE.
THERE WAS AN EIGHT-HOUR
TIME LAPSE BETWEEN ABDUCTIONS.
YOU DIVIDE THAT IN HALF,
THAT'S FOUR HOURS' TRAVEL TIME.
TAKE AWAY 30 MINUTES FOR
TRANSFERRING THE CHILDREN INTO THE VAN,
SUBMERGING THE BUS...
SUBTRACT 30 MINUTES
FOR PLANTING DECOYS...
AND GETTING THE CHILDREN
INTO THEIR HIDING PLACE.
THEY TOOK AN HOUR TO PLAN AND
EXECUTE THE SECOND ABDUCTION.
THAT'S HALF HOUR TO 45
MINUTES ACTUAL TRAVEL TIME.
THEY'RE HIDDEN IN BROKEN BOW.
IT'S STILL TOO MUCH
GROUND TO COVER.
FIFTEEN MINUTES ALONE WITH
HIM, AND I'LL GET US AN ANSWER.
THAT'S NOT GONNA
WORK. NOT WITH A ZEALOT.
IF YOUR INTERROGATION FAILS, THE
CHILDREN ARE GONNA PAY THE CONSEQUENCE.
I DON'T THINK YOU CAN
AFFORD TO RISK THAT.
WE NEED A LAB.
I THINK WE SHOULD CONTACT
THE BUREAU IN OKLAHOMA CITY.
THE GROUP HAS ACCESS TO
A CLOSER ONE IN MUSKOGEE.
I THINK WE FOUND A WAY TO
NARROW DOWN THE LOCATION.
PUT THIS ON.
YOU'RE BEING TRANSFERRED
IN THE MORNING.
STORM WARNINGS HAVE SHUT
DOWN COMMERCIAL FLIGHTS.
I'M GONNA HAVE TO
TAKE A CAR TO MUSKOGEE.
WHOEVER HELPED MATTHEW PRINE
WILL SUSPECT HE'S BEEN CAPTURED.
WE DON'T HAVE MUCH
TIME BEFORE HE ACTS.
I CAN GET YOU ON A CROP
DUSTER. FLY YOU THERE DIRECT.
BETTER YOU THAN ME.
YEAH. JUST GOT THE RESULTS.
THE SOIL SAMPLE HAS AN UNUSUALLY
HIGH CONCENTRATION OF BAUXITE.
BAUXITE? IS THERE AN ALUMINUM
PROCESSING PLANT OR A QUARRY NEARBY?
THERE'S AN ABANDONED QUARRY
ABOUT 10 MILES OUT OF TOWN.
THEY'RE AT THE
QUARRY. WE'RE ON IT.
- GOT IT.
- GIVE HIM ABOUT
A 15-SECOND HEAD START.
THAT WILL KEEP US WELL WITHIN
RANGE WITHOUT AROUSING HIS SUSPICION.
JESSICA?
SHH.
DON'T TALK AND DON'T MOVE.
WE HAVE TO SAVE THE AIR.
JACK, WHEN YOU
GET INTO THE QUARRY,
BE READY TO MAKE SUDDEN
TURNS ON MY DIRECTIONS.
AND DON'T YOU TALK TO THAT
BASTARD, NO MATTER WHAT HE SAYS.
WELL, IN THE NEXT FEW
MINUTES WE'LL KNOW...
WHETHER WE SHOULD HAVE
JUST BEAT THE HELL OUT OF HIM.
HERE'S MY THING...
I'M RESULTS-ORIENTED.
- WE GOT A CONFIRMATION!
- SEND HIM INTO
THE HEART OF THE QUARRY.
BECAUSE THAT GUY DIDN'T WANT ANY
AUDIENCE WHEN HE UNLOADED THOSE KIDS.
JACK, MAKE THE NEXT LEFT.
OH, WE ARE CLOSE.
JACK, STOP.
BACK UP. SLOWLY.
OH, MY GOD!
JACK'S BEEN HIT! GO!
DON'T MOVE, YOU SON OF A BITCH!
TELL HIM TO STOP
SHOOTING! NOW! LET ME GO!
TELL HIM! MOVE!
WHERE ARE THEY?
WHERE ARE THE CHILDREN?
AND I HEARD A GREAT
VOICE OUT OF HEAVEN SAY...
I DON'T GIVE A DAMN WHAT
HAPPENS. DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
YOU HAVE 10 SECONDS TO TELL ME
WHERE THEY ARE BEFORE I KILL YOU.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?
NINE, EIGHT, SEVEN, SIX,
FIVE, FOUR, THREE...
CAYCE! PUT IT DOWN!
- TWO...
- CAYCE! PUT IT DOWN!
THE SIGN!
WE'VE GOT TO FIND COVER!
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT? YEAH.
HEY, SHERIFF! OVER HERE!
WE FOUND THE SHOOTER.
THERE'S NO ONE LEFT TO
TELL US WHERE THEY ARE.
JESSICA!
THE STATE TROOPERS ARE
FOLLOWING THE PATH OF THE TORNADO.
STILL NO TRACE OF MATTHEW PRINE. WELL,
MAYBE HE WENT SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW.
DAMAGE FROM THE
STORM WAS CONSIDERABLE.
OF PARTICULAR INTEREST,
THE SCHOOLHOUSE WHERE
THE CHILDREN WOULD
HAVE BEEN IN CLASS...
WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED.
ARE YOU SUGGESTING THAT HE
ACTUALLY SAVED THE CHILDREN?
THE ONLY THING THAT
WE CAN BE SURE ABOUT...
IS THAT IT WILL BE THE
CHILDREN WHO WILL SAVE US.
I MADE THIS!
OVERNIGHT LOW IN THE 40s.
THERE IS A 70% CHANCE
OF THUNDERSTORMS...
ARABIA, IN WHAT IS
DESCRIBED AS THE LARGEST...
THE NETS TOOK CARE OF THE
MAGIC 112 TO 109, DESPITE...
RESIDENTS OF THE OLSEN CREEK
AREA BATTLED MOTHER NATURE...
NATO'S LATEST MEMBER
HAS A NEW PROBLEM.
HOWEVER, THESE PROBLEMS ARE
INTERNAL, RATHER THAN EXTERNAL.
THE QUAKE MEASURED
5.5 ON THE RICHTER SCALE.
NO REPORTS OF INJURY OR DAMAGES.
SCIENTISTS ARE CALLING
THIS AN AFTERSHOCK...
LIKE OTHER FORMER
SOVIET BLOC NATIONS,
THE COLLAPSE
OF THE U.S.S.R. IS...
PALESTINIAN LEADER YASSER
ARAFAT HAS AGREED IN PRINCIPLE...
TO THE DETAILS OF THE
UPCOMING ROUND OF PEACE TALKS.
PRESIDENT CLINTON HAS ENDORSED THE PLANNED
SUMMIT IN JANUARY, AFTER THE HOLIDAYS.
THE CZECH REPUBLIC OFFICIALLY
ACCEPTED ITS MEMBERSHIP IN NATO.
IN A CEREMONY WITNESSED BY
SECRETARY OF STATE MADELINE ALBRIGHT...
IN HER ADDRESS, SECRETARY ALBRIGHT MADE
VEILED HINTS AT FURTHER NATO EXPANSIONS.
MADE SINCE BECOMING CANDIDATES OF
THE NORTH ATLANTIC TREATY ORGANIZATION.
AND WHEN THE LAMB
OPENED THE SECOND SEAL,
I HEARD THE SECOND
BEAST SAY, "COME."
AND THERE WENT OUT
ANOTHER HORSE THAT WAS RED.
AND POWER WAS GIVEN
TO HIM THAT SAT THEREON...
TO TAKE PEACE FROM THE EARTH
AND TO MAKE MEN SLAY EACH OTHER.
TO HIM WAS GIVEN A LARGE SWORD.
THE GREAT DAY OF
HIS WRATH IS COME!
AND WHO SHALL BE ABLE TO STAND?
THESE ARE THE FLYERS THEY'VE
BEEN HANDIN' OUT ACROSS THE STATE.
THE PARENTS STARTED CALLIN' THE SCHOOL WHEN
THEIR KIDS DIDN'T SHOW UP HOME ON TIME.
FIVE HOURS LATER, THERE'S STILL
NO TRACE OF THEM OR THE BUS.
BUS DRIVER? VERNON ROBERTS.
BORN AND RAISED HERE. BEEN
DRIVIN' THE SCHOOL BUS FOR 22 YEARS.
MORE THAN LIKELY
HE'S A VICTIM TOO.
THIS IS A SMALL TOWN, FRANK. FARMERS,
MOSTLY. HEART OF THE BIBLE BELT.
EVERYONE KNOWS HIS NEIGHBORS.
I HAVE TO BELIEVE WHATEVER
HAPPENED HERE CAME FROM WITHOUT.
IF THIS WAS AN ABDUCTION, WE HAVE
TO FIND THE POINT OF ENCOUNTER...
BEFORE THE RAIN WASHES
AWAY EVERY TRACE.
THE F.B.I.'s BEEN INFORMED. THE STATE
TROOPERS ARE CHECKIN' OUT THE BUS ROUTE.
- MR. WATTS,
THEY FOUND THE BUS.
- LET'S GO.
WINCH IT SLOW! GOT
THE CAB COMIN' NOW.
SHERIFF CAYCE,
THIS IS FRANK BLACK.
I UNDERSTAND THIS LOCATION IS QUITE A
DISTANCE AWAY FROM THE NORMAL ROUTE.
SHERIFF?
DO YOU HAVE A CHILD ON THAT BUS?
MY DAUGHTER, JESSICA.
SHE JUST TURNED EIGHT.
BEFORE I SAW THE
BUS IN THE WATER,
I STILL HAD HOPE THAT
THIS WAS SOMETHING...
ANYTHING... OTHER THAN THIS.
I PREPARED MYSELF.
I RECALLED THE TIMES I HAD TO TELL
A FATHER THAT HIS CHILD JUST DIED.
I THOUGHT I KNEW HOW IT'D FEEL
TO BE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS.
IF THIS WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT,
THE BODIES ARE STILL INSIDE.
IT'S INSANITY TO WISH
FOR A MASS ABDUCTION.
BETTER A SLIM CHANCE
THAN NO CHANCE.
WE GOT OUR WISH.
MR. VERNON?
WHERE ARE WE GOING?
YOU'LL SEE WHEN
WE GET THERE, HONEY.
I WANT TO GO HOME!
OKAY. EVERYBODY LISTEN TO ME.
I WANT YOU TO HOLD HANDS
WITH THE PERSON NEXT TO YOU.
CAN YOU DO THAT?
EVERYBODY HOLDIN' HANDS?
WE'RE GONNA HAVE A PRAYER.
OUR FATHER, WHO ART IN HEAVEN,
HALLOWED BE THY NAME.
THY KINGDOM COME,
THY WILL BE DONE,
IN EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN.
GIVE US THIS DAY
OUR DAILY BREAD...
AND FORGIVE US OUR DEBTS,
AS WE FORGIVE OUR DEBTORS.
AS WE FORGIVE OUR DEBTORS.
AND LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION,
BUT DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
FOR THINE IS THE KINGDOM...
AND THE POWER AND
THE GLORY FOREVER.
THE CRIME SCENE'S BACK THERE.
NO, IT'S HERE. AND UP THAT
ROAD ABOUT FIVE MILES.
THAT WAS THE POINT OF
ENCOUNTER, BEFORE THE
BUS DRIVER COULD DROP
OFF THE FIRST STUDENT.
THE BUS WOULD HAVE BEEN FORCED
TO STOP BECAUSE OF AN OBSTACLE...
DEBRIS ON THE HIGHWAY
OR A DISABLED VEHICLE.
THE ABDUCTOR WOULD BE
FEIGNING WEAKNESS OR INJURY...
SO AS NOT TO PRESENT A
THREAT TO THE BUS DRIVER.
HE WOULD APPROACH WITH DIFFICULTY,
FURTHER DISARMING SUSPICION.
THE NEXT MOVE IS PURE SURPRISE, WITH
A BLITZ ATTACK SO SUDDEN AND VICIOUS,
THE ABDUCTOR EASILY
DISABLES HIS ONLY THREAT.
HE MIGHT KILL THE DRIVER, THOUGH I WOULD
HAVE EXPECTED TO FIND THE BODY ON THE BUS.
MOMENTS AFTER THE POINT OF
ENCOUNTER, HE DRIVES AWAY.
ALTHOUGH HE'S NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE,
IN HIS MIND HE'S LIVED IT A THOUSAND TIMES.
IN LESS THAN TEN
MINUTES, THEY ARRIVE HERE,
AND THE ABDUCTOR
GUARDS THE FRONT.
A TRUCK OR A VAN
PULLS UP BEHIND THE BUS.
THE KIDS ARE HERDED TOWARD
THE EMERGENCY EXIT IN THE REAR...
AND FORCED INTO
THE ESCAPE VEHICLE.
THE BUS IS THEN DRIVEN INTO
THE RIVER TO BUY HIM TIME.
- THERE MUST HAVE BEEN MORE
THAN ONE KIDNAPPER.
- THERE WAS AN ACCOMPLICE.
BUT THIS WAS FROM
THE MIND OF ONE MAN.
TO FIND THE CHILDREN, WE'RE GONNA
HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THE WHY OF IT.
WELL, WITH ALL DUE RESPECT,
MR. BLACK, I REALLY DON'T CARE WHY.
I JUST WANT TO CATCH HIM.
I DETECTED A WHITE PAINT MARK ON
THE EDGE OF THE EMERGENCY DOOR.
I BELIEVE THAT'S THE COLOR
OF THE KIDNAPPERS' VEHICLE.
I'LL GET A BULLETIN OUT ON A
WHITE VAN OR TRUCK RIGHT NOW.
THAT'LL GIVE US SOMETHIN' TO WORK
ON TILL WE GET THE RANSOM DEMAND.
- THERE WON'T BE
A RANSOM DEMAND.
- HOW DO YOU KNOW?
EXPERIENCE.
DISPATCH, THIS IS BAKER SEVEN RESPONDING
TO AN A.P.B. ON A WHITE TRUCK OR VAN.
I NEED TO RUN A PLATE AND A
10-29 ON A LATE-'80s ECONOLINE.
ROMEO FOX SIERRA...
FOUR FIVE EIGHT.
BAKER SEVEN, THAT'S A CLEAN PLATE.
NO WARRANTS OUTSTANDING. NO REPORTS.
WHOA! I GOT A RABBIT! HE'S
HEADING EAST ON LONSDALE!
BAKER SEVEN, PROCEED ON
CODE TWO: POSSIBLE HOSTAGES.
SHERIFF! HIGHWAY PATROL'S
IN PURSUIT OF A WHITE VAN.
- IT'S RUNNIN' EAST
ON LONSDALE ROAD.
- HE'S HEADIN' OUR WAY.
I WANT TO GET PATCHED
INTO THAT TROOPER.
LET'S GET EVERY AVAILABLE
VEHICLE ON THIS NOW.
MR. BLACK? LOOKS LIKE YOU GET
TO ASK HIM WHY FACE-TO-FACE.
BAKER SEVEN, THIS IS
McCURTAIN COUNTY SHERIFF.
YOU GOT A 20 ON THAT WHITE VAN?
STILL PROCEEDING EAST ON
LONSDALE, APPROACHING HIGHWAY 58.
IF HE GETS ONTO 58, WE'LL CUT
HIM OFF AT THE JUNCTION TO 60.
IF HE STAYS ON LONSDALE, WE'LL
SET THE ROADBLOCK UP AT LOUIS ROAD.
DID THEY RUN THE
PLATE ON THAT VAN?
YOU GOT A NAME TO
GO WITH THE VEHICLE?
THE VEHICLE IS REGISTERED IN
TEXAS TO A ROBERT RENEE THOMAS.
- TEXAS?
- THIRTY-SIX, CAUCASIAN.
HUNDRED AND SIXTY FIVE,
FIVE-NINE. BROWN HAIR, BROWN EYES.
IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO
COME FROM OUT OF STATE.
THE ABDUCTION WAS TOO WELL ORGANIZED.
THEY EITHER KNEW OR STUDIED THOSE CHILDREN.
WAS THE VEHICLE
REPORTED STOLEN? NEGATIVE.
- HE'S NOW HEADING SOUTH DOWN 58.
- LET'S TAKE THIS GUY OUT
AT THE JUNCTION TO 60.
LIGHT HIM UP A QUARTER MILE
AWAY, AND WE'LL BE WAITING.
HE'S PUTTIN' THE HAMMER DOWN
NOW. I'M GONNA LIGHT HIM UP.
STEP OUT OF THE VEHICLE!
KEEP YOUR HANDS
WHERE WE CAN SEE 'EM!
INTERLACE YOUR FINGERS.
PUT 'EM ON TOP OF YOUR HEAD!
NOW LAY FACEDOWN ON THE GROUND!
I KNOW WE WERE SPEEDIN'. I'M
SORRY. IF WE CAN JUST GET THE TICKET?
WE'VE TRACKED A SPLITTING
STORM WITH A B.R.N. OF 89.
THAT'S RIPE FOR A
SUPERCELL. WE GOTTA GET THE
TURTLE OUT OF THE VAN
AND ONTO THE GROUND!
WHAT THE HELL ARE
YOU TALKIN' ABOUT?
THEY'RE NOT THE ONES WE'RE LOOKING FOR.
THEY'RE METEOROLOGISTS. STORM CHASERS.
OFFICERS, A PIECE OF ADVICE?
I'M READING VORTEX SIGNATURES
AT AROUND 10,000 FEET.
SO WHOEVER YOU'RE LOOKIN'
FOR, YOU'D BETTER FIND HIM QUICK,
'CAUSE THERE'S A
BAD BOY OUT THERE.
AND WHEN HE HITS...
THERE'LL BE
NOTHIN' LEFT TO FIND.
COME OUT ONE AT A TIME. I NEED A
PIECE OF CLOTHING AND YOUR NAME.
YOU. GET IN THE HOLE...
AND HELP 'EM DOWN.
THIS CAN'T BE ABOUT THE MONEY.
THE PARENTS OF THESE KIDS...
ARE FARMERS, CLERKS...
WORKING CLASS.
I'VE CONSULTED WITH THE GROUP.
THEY THINK IT'S HIGHLY UNLIKELY...
THIS WAS AN ACTION PERPETRATED
BY FOREIGN TERRORISTS.
THEY'RE CHECKING RECENT MILITIA
ACTIVITY, POSSIBLY A POLITICAL STATEMENT.
THIS FEELS MORE
PERSONAL. IT'S...
AN ACT AGAINST THE PARENTS?
HURT THEM THROUGH
THEIR OFFSPRING?
IT'S TERRIFYING THERE'S
BEEN NO COMMUNICATION.
IF THEY'RE USING THESE KIDS
AS COMMODITIES TO BE BARTERED,
THEN HE SHOULD HAVE CONTACTED US BY
NOW TO ASSURE US THAT THE GOODS WERE SAFE.
UNLESS HE HAS ANOTHER PURPOSE.
EVERY CHILD OF SCHOOL AGE IN
BROKEN BOW WAS ON THAT BUS.
HE'S TAKEN MORE THAN THE CHILDREN,
HASN'T HE? HE'S TAKEN AWAY THEIR FUTURE.
HOW MANY CHILDREN
WERE ON YOUR BUS TODAY?
SEVENTEEN.
THERE ARE EIGHTEEN
IN THE SCHOOL.
YOU WERE TO MAKE CERTAIN.
YOU TELL ME WHO'S MISSING.
I CAN'T.
I CAN'T.
IT'S NO GOOD IF
THEY'RE NOT ALL HERE.
WORTHY IS THE LAMB
THAT WAS SLAIN...
TO RECEIVE POWER AND RICHES...
AND WISDOM AND STRENGTH...
AND HONOR AND
GLORY AND BLESSING.
VERNON, TELL ME...
ARE YOU WORTHY?
THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE
HAS ISSUED A STORM ADVISORY...
OVER SOUTHEASTERN OKLAHOMA.
THERE IS A 40% CHANCE OF
THUNDERSHOWERS TONIGHT,
INCREASING TO 60% BY TOMORROW.
NOW, BACK TO THIS WEEK'S
TOP-40 COUNTDOWN ON K-ROZ.
♪♪
♪ BLESS THE BEASTS ♪ I WAS GOIN'
OVER THE LOGBOOKS FROM THIS AFTERNOON.
♪ AND THE CHILDREN
FOR IN THIS WORLD ♪
WHAT? YOU WANT TO
HEAR YOUR FAVORITE SONG?
AND I SAW THE BEAST AND
THE KINGS OF THE EARTH...
AND THEIR ARMIES
GATHERED TOGETHER...
TO MAKE WAR AGAINST HIM THAT SAT
ON THE HORSE AND AGAINST HIS ARMY.
HOW'D YOU KNOW
THERE'D BE A MESSAGE?
EVEN I KNOW THAT
SONG'S NOT ON THE TOP 40.
SO, UH, AFTER THE
WEATHER, WHICH I DO LIVE,
I-I PLAY THE PRE-RECORDS.
AND THEN INSTEAD OF SPICE
GIRLS, I GET PSYCHO BOY.
♪♪
I WANT A LIST OF ALL THE PEOPLE
WHO HAVE ACCESS TO THIS ROOM...
JANITORS, TECHNICIANS...
ANYBODY WITH A KEY.
AND I SAW THE BEAST...
AND THE KINGS OF THE EARTH... INTERESTING
CHOICE OF MUSIC, CONSIDERING THE MESSAGE.
- HE'S QUOTING THE BIBLE.
- I WOULDN'T MAKE
TOO MUCH OF THAT.
IT'S NOT UNCOMMON FOR FOLKS AROUND HERE
TO CITE THE BIBLE IN EVERYDAY CONVERSATION.
THE PASSAGE IS FROM
REVELATION 19, VERSE 19.
MAYBE HE CONSIDERS
HIMSELF THE ONE ON THE HORSE.
NINETEEN? THERE WERE 18 VICTIMS.
SEVENTEEN CHILDREN,
ONE BUS DRIVER.
- HOW MANY CHILDREN
ATTEND THE SCHOOL?
- EIGHTEEN.
MAKING 19 VICTIMS.
WHO MISSED SCHOOL TODAY?
- HE'S IN THERE!
- COVER THE BACKYARD!
RICK! RICK, WHERE IS HE?
MY SON! MY SON!
AAH!
YOU SON OF A BITCH!
NO! NO! THIS GETS YOU NOTHING.
NOTHING! BELIEVE
ME. I'VE BEEN THERE.
HE'S THE ONLY ONE
THAT CAN HELP US.
WE'RE RUNNING YOUR PRINTS.
IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF MINUTES
BEFORE I'LL KNOW YOUR WHOLE HISTORY.
WHERE ARE THEY?
YOU'RE IN A WORLD OF TROUBLE.
GIVE ME A REASON TO HELP YOU.
WE ARE GONNA FIND THEM.
IT'S GONNA BE A LOT EASIER FOR
YOU IF YOU HELP. HE'S NOT GONNA TALK.
AND YOU'RE NOT GONNA FIND
ANYTHING TO MATCH HIS PRINTS.
HE HAS TO HAVE A PRIOR RECORD.
IT'S HIGHLY UNUSUAL FOR A CRIMINAL TO
START A CAREER WITH A MASS ABDUCTION.
HE'S NOT A CRIMINAL.
AND HE HASN'T COMMITTED ANY CRIME.
THAT'S THE MESSAGE HE'S GIVING US.
TO HIM, THIS IS A FIGHT
BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL,
AND WE'RE THE ONES WITH
THE HORNS AND THE PITCHFORKS.
TILL WE UNDERSTAND THAT AND ACT
ACCORDINGLY, WE'RE NOT GONNA FIND THEM.
SHERIFF?
THIS WAS JUST FOUND
AT THE TISDALE RANCH.
WHAT THE HELL IS HE DOING?
IT'S TOO LATE, ASS-WIPE.
I DON'T NEED YOUR HELP.
I'VE GOT YOU NOW.
YOU ARE GONNA DIE FOR YOUR
SINS IF I HAVE TO KILL YOU MYSELF!
WE JUST LOST ROUND ONE.
GOT ANOTHER ONE!
FOUND ONE OVER HERE!
SHERIFF, IT'S A DECOY.
THEY'RE NOT HERE.
WELL, THIS IS ALL I CAN DO.
I'M AFRAID IF I DON'T KEEP
GOIN' AND KEEP MOVIN',
NO MATTER HOW HOPELESS,
THEN IT'LL BECOME EXACTLY THAT.
EVERY PIECE OF CLOTHING
THAT WE FOUND HAS BLOOD ON IT.
FRANK, I DON'T TRUST MYSELF
TO FACE THIS ANIMAL AGAIN.
I'M NOT TRYIN' TO MAKE YOU
FEEL BETTER BY SAYING THIS,
BUT I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THE BLOOD ON
THOSE CLOTHES ARE FROM THOSE CHILDREN.
IT'S NOT HUMAN. THE LAB
RAN A QUICK ANALYSIS.
THEY DETERMINED THE
BLOOD CAME FROM AN ANIMAL.
ALSO, THEY FOUND FIBER
EMBEDDED IN THE FABRIC,
SO THE BLOOD WAS
PAINTED ONTO THE CLOTHING.
LAMB'S BLOOD. PASSOVER?
ALSO REVELATION,
CHAPTER SIX, VERSE FIVE.
THE LAMB OPENED THE SEVEN SEALS.
NO LUCK ON THE FINGERPRINTS YET,
SO HIS IDENTITY IS STILL A MYSTERY.
THE "LAMB" IN REVELATION
REPRESENTS JESUS CHRIST.
IS THAT WHO THIS
GUY THINKS HE IS?
NO. IT FEELS MORE LIKE
HE'S SENDING US CLUES.
SHERIFF, WHERE IS THE NEAREST
RELIGIOUS BOOKSTORE TO BROKEN BOW,
ONE THAT HAS A BIG
STOCK OF SPECIALTY ITEMS...
BOOKS ON PROPHECY,
REVELATION, APOCRYPHA?
WELL, EVERY STORE IN THE WORLD
IS AS CLOSE AS THE POST OFFICE.
MAIL ORDER IS THE
WAY MOST PEOPLE SHOP.
THE GROUP HAS A DATABASE THAT CAN HELP.
WE CAN SPIT OUT THE NAME AND ADDRESS...
OF ANYONE WHO'S BOUGHT
A BIBLE THROUGH THE MAIL...
IN THIS COUNTRY OVER
THE LAST 10 YEARS.
THEN WE CAN NARROW THAT SEARCH
IF HE'S PURCHASED SPECIALTY ITEMS.
YOU'RE TELLING ME THE MILLENNIUM GROUP
KEEPS TRACK OF ANYONE WHO BUYS A BOOK?
CERTAIN BOOKS.
WHY?
EXACTLY THIS REASON.
MR. VERNON?
UM, IF WE PILE UP
THESE MATTRESSES,
WE COULD REACH
THE TOP AND GET OUT.
WE'VE ALREADY STARTED,
BUT WE NEED YOUR HELP.
MY DADDY ALWAYS SAID...
THAT IT'S NOT WHAT YOU'VE DONE.
IT'S WHAT YOU'RE GONNA DO.
TWO MORE NAMES LEFT ON THE LIST.
INTERESTING HOW MANY
HOUSEHOLDS BOUGHT A NEW BIBLE...
AND AT THE SAME TIME RENEWED
THEIR SUBSCRIPTION TO GUNS & AMMO.
HEY, I GOT A CALL
FROM THE GROUP.
BACK IN SEATTLE THERE'S A
WARRANT ISSUED IN YOUR NAME...
BECAUSE OF AN
UNPAID TRAFFIC TICKET.
IT'S A MISTAKE. THEY
NEVER SENT A NOTICE,
THEN INFORMED ME IT WAS OVERDUE,
CITING A VEHICLE I'VE NEVER
SEEN, LET ALONE DRIVEN.
IT SEEMS THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF
DISTRACTIONS LIKE THAT LATELY.
- WELL, WE'LL TAKE CARE OF IT.
- NO, I'LL HANDLE IT.
THAT'S IT.
ANYBODY HOME?
CAN YOU SEND FOR LARA MEANS?
I KNOW SHE WORKS WITH
THE GROUP. SHE KNOWS I DO.
SHE'S A GOOD
FORENSIC PSYCHOLOGIST.
WE CAN USE HER
FRIENDS IN HIGH PLACES.
YOU'VE ALREADY BROWNED AND
DRIED YOUR FRESH ROSEMARY.
WE'RE SITTING IN
SOMEONE'S BRAIN.
THIS IS WRONG.
EASTERN KINGS WILL BE PITTED
AGAINST THE KINGS OF THE NORTH.
EUROPE, THE UNITED STATES.
NOT IRAQ.
"GOG" IS NOT CHINA.
IT'S THE RUSSIANS.
SO, THAT MAKES "MAGOG" AMERICA.
THAT WAS A NICE CALL, LARA,
TO COPY IT DOWN INCORRECTLY.
AN OBSESSIVE PERSONALITY
WOULD NEVER BE ABLE
TO STAND THE GLARING
ERRORS IN HIS WORK.
IT'S JUST A, A JUMP
START TO GET HIM TALKING.
IT'S STILL UP TO FRANK
TO DRAW HIM OUT.
DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA
WHAT YOU HAVE HERE?
AFTER THE SECOND GREAT
STRUGGLE BETWEEN THE NATIONS...
WILL COME THE THIRD WORLD WAR,
WHICH WILL DETERMINE EVERYTHING.
WITH EYES OPEN WILL
THE WORLD'S NATIONS...
ENTER INTO THESE CATASTROPHES.
THEY SHALL NOT BE AWARE OF WHAT
IS HAPPENING. AND THOSE THAT WOULD,
AND WILL TELL,
SHALL BE SILENCED.
I WAS PARAPHRASING.
STORMBERGER. EIGHTEENTH CENTURY.
YOU UNDERSTAND MY PROBLEM.
YOU FELT MATTHEW
PRINE HAD TO ACT.
SOMEBODY HAD TO.
I DIDN'T SEE ANYBODY
ELSE STEPPIN' UP.
SO BY TAKING THE CHILDREN, YOU CAN
STOP IT. STOP THE WAR BEFORE IT STARTS.
WORLD WAR THREE
HAS ALREADY STARTED.
PEOPLE ALWAYS THINK THAT
WARS HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE,
BUT THEY REALLY
HAPPEN IN THE PAST.
THE FIGHTING IS JUST THE INEVITABLE RESULT
OF EVENTS THAT HAVE ALREADY OCCURRED.
SO, WHY TAKE THE CHILDREN?
JUST AS HE WHO WILL
FIGHT THE WAR IS BORN,
SO IS HE THAT WILL
END THE FIGHTING.
ONE OF THE CHILDREN
WAS A PEACEMAKER.
HE, OR SHE, IS OUR ONLY HOPE.
I'VE SEEN THE SEEDS
OF DESTRUCTION.
I AM PROTECTING THE FUTURE.
FROM WHAT?
IF I KNEW WHAT,
I WOULD HAVE ELIMINATED
THE THREAT MYSELF.
SO YOU HAVE NO INTENTION OF HARMING
THEM. WHEN WILL THEY BE RETURNED?
WHEN I SEE THE SIGN.
WHAT IF YOU DON'T SEE THAT SIGN?
THEN OUR SAVIOR WASN'T THERE.
AND IT DOESN'T MATTER
IF THESE LIVE OR DIE.
SINCE YOU KNOW YOU HAVE
NO INTENTION OF HARMING THEM,
WHEN ARE YOU GONNA RELEASE THEM?
THERE. THAT'S THE TELL.
IT LOOKS LIKE HE'S
SCRATCHIN' HIS HANDS. EXACTLY.
BUT IT'S WHEN HE CHOOSES
TO SCRATCH THAT'S TELLING.
THIS IS THE FIRST EXPLICIT MENTION OF
THE CHILDREN DURING THE INTERROGATION.
WATCH THE RIGHT HAND.
THERE. IF HE JUST HAD
AN ITCH, OR WHATEVER,
YOU'D EXPECT HIM TO
SCRATCH RANDOMLY.
THIS SCRATCHING IS
SUBCONSCIOUSLY MOTIVATED.
EVERY TIME HE'S FORCED TO THINK
ABOUT THE CHILDREN, HE REACTS.
HE'S SHOWING US HIS GUILT.
I KNOW HE'S GUILTY.
WHAT WE NEED IS THE
LOCATION OF THE CHILDREN.
IF HIS MOTIVES ARE WHAT HE
SAYS, ARE THE CHILDREN IN DANGER?
HE CLAIMS TO BE PROTECTING
THEM. YEAH. HERE'S MY THING.
HE CAN'T EVEN BRING HIMSELF
TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE CHILDREN.
"IT DOESN'T MATTER
IF THESE LIVE OR DIE."
DO YOU THINK HE WOULD MANIFEST
THIS SAME BEHAVIOR, THIS TELL,
IF HE WAS BROUGHT IN ON A
LOCATION NEAR THE CHILDREN?
IF WE WERE TO DRIVE HIM BY THE
PLACE WHERE THE CHILDREN WERE KEPT...
AND WATCHED HIM
WITHOUT HIS KNOWLEDGE,
I HAVE A FEELING HE'D
SCRATCH HIS SKIN TO THE BONE.
THERE'S OVER 1,800
MILES IN THE COUNTY.
THERE'S NO WAY WE COULD DRIVE
BY EVERY POSSIBLE HIDING PLACE.
THERE WAS AN EIGHT-HOUR
TIME LAPSE BETWEEN ABDUCTIONS.
YOU DIVIDE THAT IN HALF,
THAT'S FOUR HOURS' TRAVEL TIME.
TAKE AWAY 30 MINUTES FOR
TRANSFERRING THE CHILDREN INTO THE VAN,
SUBMERGING THE BUS...
SUBTRACT 30 MINUTES
FOR PLANTING DECOYS...
AND GETTING THE CHILDREN
INTO THEIR HIDING PLACE.
THEY TOOK AN HOUR TO PLAN AND
EXECUTE THE SECOND ABDUCTION.
THAT'S HALF HOUR TO 45
MINUTES ACTUAL TRAVEL TIME.
THEY'RE HIDDEN IN BROKEN BOW.
IT'S STILL TOO MUCH
GROUND TO COVER.
FIFTEEN MINUTES ALONE WITH
HIM, AND I'LL GET US AN ANSWER.
THAT'S NOT GONNA
WORK. NOT WITH A ZEALOT.
IF YOUR INTERROGATION FAILS, THE
CHILDREN ARE GONNA PAY THE CONSEQUENCE.
I DON'T THINK YOU CAN
AFFORD TO RISK THAT.
WE NEED A LAB.
I THINK WE SHOULD CONTACT
THE BUREAU IN OKLAHOMA CITY.
THE GROUP HAS ACCESS TO
A CLOSER ONE IN MUSKOGEE.
I THINK WE FOUND A WAY TO
NARROW DOWN THE LOCATION.
PUT THIS ON.
YOU'RE BEING TRANSFERRED
IN THE MORNING.
STORM WARNINGS HAVE SHUT
DOWN COMMERCIAL FLIGHTS.
I'M GONNA HAVE TO
TAKE A CAR TO MUSKOGEE.
WHOEVER HELPED MATTHEW PRINE
WILL SUSPECT HE'S BEEN CAPTURED.
WE DON'T HAVE MUCH
TIME BEFORE HE ACTS.
I CAN GET YOU ON A CROP
DUSTER. FLY YOU THERE DIRECT.
BETTER YOU THAN ME.
YEAH. JUST GOT THE RESULTS.
THE SOIL SAMPLE HAS AN UNUSUALLY
HIGH CONCENTRATION OF BAUXITE.
BAUXITE? IS THERE AN ALUMINUM
PROCESSING PLANT OR A QUARRY NEARBY?
THERE'S AN ABANDONED QUARRY
ABOUT 10 MILES OUT OF TOWN.
THEY'RE AT THE
QUARRY. WE'RE ON IT.
- GOT IT.
- GIVE HIM ABOUT
A 15-SECOND HEAD START.
THAT WILL KEEP US WELL WITHIN
RANGE WITHOUT AROUSING HIS SUSPICION.
JESSICA?
SHH.
DON'T TALK AND DON'T MOVE.
WE HAVE TO SAVE THE AIR.
JACK, WHEN YOU
GET INTO THE QUARRY,
BE READY TO MAKE SUDDEN
TURNS ON MY DIRECTIONS.
AND DON'T YOU TALK TO THAT
BASTARD, NO MATTER WHAT HE SAYS.
WELL, IN THE NEXT FEW
MINUTES WE'LL KNOW...
WHETHER WE SHOULD HAVE
JUST BEAT THE HELL OUT OF HIM.
HERE'S MY THING...
I'M RESULTS-ORIENTED.
- WE GOT A CONFIRMATION!
- SEND HIM INTO
THE HEART OF THE QUARRY.
BECAUSE THAT GUY DIDN'T WANT ANY
AUDIENCE WHEN HE UNLOADED THOSE KIDS.
JACK, MAKE THE NEXT LEFT.
OH, WE ARE CLOSE.
JACK, STOP.
BACK UP. SLOWLY.
OH, MY GOD!
JACK'S BEEN HIT! GO!
DON'T MOVE, YOU SON OF A BITCH!
TELL HIM TO STOP
SHOOTING! NOW! LET ME GO!
TELL HIM! MOVE!
WHERE ARE THEY?
WHERE ARE THE CHILDREN?
AND I HEARD A GREAT
VOICE OUT OF HEAVEN SAY...
I DON'T GIVE A DAMN WHAT
HAPPENS. DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
YOU HAVE 10 SECONDS TO TELL ME
WHERE THEY ARE BEFORE I KILL YOU.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?
NINE, EIGHT, SEVEN, SIX,
FIVE, FOUR, THREE...
CAYCE! PUT IT DOWN!
- TWO...
- CAYCE! PUT IT DOWN!
THE SIGN!
WE'VE GOT TO FIND COVER!
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT? YEAH.
HEY, SHERIFF! OVER HERE!
WE FOUND THE SHOOTER.
THERE'S NO ONE LEFT TO
TELL US WHERE THEY ARE.
JESSICA!
THE STATE TROOPERS ARE
FOLLOWING THE PATH OF THE TORNADO.
STILL NO TRACE OF MATTHEW PRINE. WELL,
MAYBE HE WENT SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW.
DAMAGE FROM THE
STORM WAS CONSIDERABLE.
OF PARTICULAR INTEREST,
THE SCHOOLHOUSE WHERE
THE CHILDREN WOULD
HAVE BEEN IN CLASS...
WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED.
ARE YOU SUGGESTING THAT HE
ACTUALLY SAVED THE CHILDREN?
THE ONLY THING THAT
WE CAN BE SURE ABOUT...
IS THAT IT WILL BE THE
CHILDREN WHO WILL SAVE US.
I MADE THIS!
