The Utah Cabin Murders (2019)
1
Oh Sleep my child and peace attend thee All through the night Guardian angels God will tend thee All through the night Ooh Tonight, the first convicts to ever break out of this maximum security prison are on the run two days and counting. It could be-- Do we have to watch the news? I mean seriously. There's something better on. But no, what, don't you wanna watch the news? Come on. Let's put on a Christmas movie or something. Come on. Put on a Christmas movie. Well there's not going to be one on until after the news anyway, so we have to wait until it's finished. This is cute, this is cute, did you see his face? Okay. Soft the drowsy hours are creeping Hill and vale in slumber sleeping No, that's my one, now. Oh. It's last year. - Oh. - You broke that. No you did. You tell him, Mom, you tell him. I've voted for the same person every year for the last 30 years. Hey. Ooh What is at stake is more than one small country. It is a big idea, a new world order, where-- Oh, god, I can't believe this guy. Look at this deluxe ass clown. I mean, who's gonna lead this new world order, him? You can't lead a bunch of drunks to a bar. Come on, you sung his praises at the Mathesons last night. Well that was just because I was being agreeable, 'cause they're your friends. But you know all these card-carryin' NRA types can get like if you disagree with 'em. Come on, Russ and Gail are okay. I know, well this turkey isn't. He's dangerous. You know, you really should turn that thing off. You know how it gets you all worked up. I like to keep in touch with what's going on in the world. Besides, Linnea, you should pay attention to this, too, you know. It could affect your future. I don't know Dad, seems like bunch of fear mongering to me. I mean, I watch the news and it's all war and death, and I look outside and all I can hear are crickets. I think if you unplug from the media, life is a lot simpler. You should listen to this girl, she's got her head screwed on right, don't you think Mom? Sure, she talks a lot more sense than Richard. You never miss an opportunity to shoot me with a good zinger do ya, Delyth? You know, I really can't resist an easy target. Oh. Look who decided to grace us with her presence. You were up late last night. We're on vacation. Well, maybe you should lay off that stuff, it's affecting your sleep. Relax Mom, it's not like I'm shooting crack. Now, don't be crass. Uh sweetheart, you wanna go into town with me later? I need to pick up a few presents. Oh, last minute as always. Just us? Yeah, I could use your advice on what I should get. Um, what are the rest of you doing? Your Mom is taking Linnea and I over to the lake. And I'm not invited? Hey! Hey, come on. What am I, chopped liver over here? Come on, don't you wanna hang out with your dear old dad? Okay. Yeah, sure. You're listening to the 808 show on KSOC Radio. Hey, you okay? Mom's favoritism strikes again. What do you mean? She wants you to go to the lake with Grams, not me. Oh come on. Aren't you being a little over-sensitive? No, she always does stuff like this. You know, when we move out, I bet they preserve your room like a shrine. They'll turn mine into a gym. It's not funny. I'm not laughing at you, I'm picturing Dad in a gym. Right? So, I didn't want this to be the one gift that you get to open on Christmas Eve. But I want you to have it now. - What is it? - Open it and find out. You have a beautiful gift for writing. I thought this might help you to use it more. I only got you socks. Look, I don't know what's going on with you and Mom, but I'm sure things will work themselves out. I love you, okay? I love you, too. Do you like it? I love it. Any calls? The one from the station down at Fort Creek, there was a pretty nasty beatin' on the side of the road. Happened right on the border, so they're just keepin' us in the loop. Well, who's the victim? A girl in her 20s. She's at the hospital in a coma. Doctors don't know if she'll make it. Jesus Christ. Someone cracked her in the head and took off with her car. Okay. Sheriff's office. Yeah, okay Marvin, okay, calm down. Yeah, yeah okay, we'll be right over, yeah. Marvin Elrod. Someone broke into his store last night. You're kiddin'. We better go take a look. - Hello. - Hey, big brother. Oh, hey Mike, how's it goin'? Can't complain. Cool, are you still comin' over later? It's gonna be a little later than planned. Susie's got a doctor's appointment, and her car broke down. I gotta take her. Oh, okay, that's no problem. Is she comin' over with you? Nah, she's workin' the 2 'til 10 shift tonight. All right, oh, we're goin' out for a couple hours later, just in case we're not back when you get here, I'm gonna leave a key under the mat by the front door. Thanks, Rich. I'll see ya later. All right, see ya later. Hey. You still gonna go out with me later or what? Sure. You didn't seem to happy about it earlier. Oh, come on, I'd barely gotten up. You know before my first coffee, I'm a mess. Yeah, you're not much of a morning person. I wasn't either, until I met your mother. It's funny how gettin' woken up at 7 a.m. for 30 years'll get you into a routine. Hey, you know she just gives us a hard time 'cause she loves us. Yeah, I know. But she's still your biggest fan. I mean, she still gushes about all those stories you wrote in school. What's with the big sell, Dad? Well, I've been noticing a little bit of tension between you two lately. Yeah, it's just mother-daughter stuff, I guess. Nothing for you to worry about. Well, I do worry about it. A lot, it's my prerogative as father, I'm allowed to. And you know why, I mean, I lost my mother when I was your age, and, you know, I never really got a chance to tell her how much she meant to me. Sometimes you don't know what you got 'til it's gone. That's unusually profound for you, Dad. Yeah, I guess I'm just kind of a sucker for this time of year. Yep, once the Christmas trees go up, I get all warm and gooey inside and sentimental about family. The rest of the year, y'all are just a pain in my ass. Hey, but you know I wouldn't have it any other way. So, are we going to midnight mass on Christmas Eve? Ma, you're a stickler for tradition, so I guess so. You know, I wish you went to church every Sunday. We're not gonna have this conversation again, are we? I just don't know where I lost you. You never lost me, Mom, the church did, hm? But you never explained why, not in detail. You still go to church. I wouldn't want to denigrate that. I'm a big girl, Pat, I can take it. Okay. Do you remember that year I went touring with a local church before the kids were born, and I went to Ghana for a couple of weeks? Yeah, I remember. Well, this may come as a surprise to you, but there are a lot of corrupt churches here in the US. I know because I spent most of that year at them. There was this one church, it was Easter Sunday, and right before the service, the pastors are screaming at each other, arguing over money. I saw so many things that year that made me realize that the church is just blinded by capitalism and desperate to keep a grip on authority. You know Mom, sometimes I wonder if they actually read the same New Testament we did. There was this one church, they were holding a fundraiser for $40,000 for a parking lot. Oh, they already had a perfectly functioning parking lot, no, but they needed anther one, a nicer one, and the were prepared to fleece their flock to get it. You know, when you see enough of the dirty underbelly of the church, you're just, you're left with a really nasty taste in your mouth. It's all just politics, hypocrisy, and gossip, and it completely obscures the true message of Christianity. Wow, tell me what you really think, Pat. Well, you asked, Mom. How must you feel then, about me going to a place every week that you think is so corrupt? Oh, Mom. I know you have a genuine belief. Just because the institution is corrupt doesn't mean that your faith is. Do you have faith? I do. I do, but I don't need the church to tell me what to believe. I have my own perception of a higher power. Well, I'm glad you have something, some faith. Why does it matter to you? You know, as you get older, you begin to recognize your own mortality. It's difficult not to think of the inevitable. I'm just comforted by the fact that I'm part of God's plan, and that, well, there's more to everything than just this physical world. I love you, Mom. I love you too, honey. - Let's get soup. - Yes. Damn kids these days don't respect nothin'. I ran this business 20 years, never had a problem. Now, they break in and ransack the joint. So you got a look at them? Nah. They broke in after I closed up for the night. Then how do you know it was kids? Stole a couple masks from the novelty department. What kind of an adult wants that shit? They take anything else? Cleared out the register. I'd already cashed up, so they didn't get much. A few dollars, some change. Clothes rail got turned over. I think they took some coats. Probably needed 'em, scruffy little bastards. What else? They also took my firearms. One pistol from under the counter, another one from the office upstairs. You got permits for those, right? Who you investigatin' here, sonny? Me or the thieves? Just routine questions, Marv, nothin' personal. Do you got a camera set up in the store? Never thought I needed one until now. Okay. Deputy Wilkes and I'll take a look around. In the meantime, just try to relax. How can anyone relax with this kinda thing goin' on? You wanna know who I blame? All that heavy metal pollutin' the minds of our children, encouragin' devil worship and all that satanic nonsense. Those headbangers, they're a danger to god-fearin' folk everywhere. What do you think? I think he needs to chill the fuck out. Heavy metal is awesome. About the robbery. Masks, guns, I guess it could be kids. Or, somethin' very different. Like what? Someone could be gearin' up for another robbery. Somethin' bigger. Makes sense, but what are potential targets around here, the liquor store, the bank? Maybe. Tell you what, I'll get Richards and Daniels to take the patrol downtown. And if it's about to happen, maybe a police presence will deter it. Good thinking. Let's take a look around. - This should be nice. - Ooh. Come on, honey. Oh hey, we'll catch you back here around two. - Sure, bye! - Okay, bye-bye! See ya later! Oh shit. What is it? John Bo Boubede died. Well who's that? I used to run with a candy bandits gang back in Chicago. What's your interest in a mafioso? Before I came to Oakley, I used to work in Plumas County. Yeah, I remember. I ever tell you why I left? Somethin' about corruption in the department, wasn't it? Yeah, that's right. Back in '81 we were called to a quadruple homicide at a cabin in a resort town in Keddie. Yeah. Wasn't that the murder of a whole family, yeah? Yeah. The worst crime scene I've ever seen. Four people savagely butchered, mother Sue, son Johnny, daughter Tina, and a family friend Dana. Tina's skull was found a few years later, a couple years after I left the department. Her body had been removed from the cabin for some reason. I was the initial responder to the 911 call. I saw those bodies, and that sight will never leave me. The killers had stabbed and pummeled everything in sight. The walls, the people, the furniture, everything. There was blood everywhere. I knew right away it was the work of a total psychopath. There was a couple living a few cabins down, same resort, Marty and Marilyn. When they interviewed Marty, he was so concerned about deflecting blame and throwing suspicion on others. He slipped up so many times in the interview, I knew he had something to do with it. Marty was friends with Bo, who happened to be staying with him at the time of the murders. Wait a minute, if memory serves, that case is still unsolved, yeah? Yeah. Came out years later that drug trafficking may have had something to do with it, I mean, god knows what they were all involved in down there. All I knew is I couldn't do my job, so I got out. But there's not a day goes by I don't think about the ones that got away. You know we all got those regrets. The ones that got away. I've been lucky in the most of the murder cases I've worked have been solved. The Reggie Fallon case, that still plays on my mind. Yeah, what happened with that one? Back in the 60s, Fallon taught at Red Bridge High School, where he sexually abused some boys. We began investigating, but before we could make an arrest, Fallon quits his job, disappears. Then a few years later, we found out that he'd been back teaching in several counties across Utah using different names and forged documents. Decades went by. Then one of the abused boys, now an adult, bumps into Fallon here in Oakley. This guy Frank takes advantage of the chance encounter, gets a hold of Fallon's address and phone number, which he passes on to us. I interview Frank, then went looking for the files from the 1960s. A few of the old timers on staff remember a box with "Reggie Fallon" written on the side. No one knew where it had gone. So I have to start all over again, tracking down abused boys using old school photos and other records, all with Frank's help. I found 18 victims in total. A few were keen to prosecute, yeah? Others were dead, some just wanted to put it behind them and get on with their lives, but we had nine of them on board and a very strong case against Fallon. Then I found that he fled to Australia. So after a lot of bureaucratic red tape, an extradition order is issued. But before the time came for the extradition hearing, Fallon hobbles in, presents himself as having several serious health issues. The judge rules he's too sick to travel, yet the cops over there tell me that Fallon, whose lawyer had argued could barely walk and was about to die, was spotted near his home walking freely and unaided. He played the judge for a fool. It's a tough thing to have to take. After re-opening old wounds for all the victims, I had to tell them sorry, he abused you and ruined your life, but he's not gonna do one day in jail, and he's not gonna be brought back. It's the most horrific thing to have to tell someone after you got their hopes up. Injustice like that can really, really chip away at you. It's a tough thing to take. Yeah, but you shouldn't let it get you down. It should spur you on to make it right. And unfortunately, that's something that will always happen in this job, 'cause there's never a shortage of evil behavior. So there'll always be a chance to make it right... ...and find redemption. - Wow, it's cold out there. - I'm glad we did that, though, it's beautiful. - You goin' upstairs, honey? - Yeah. - Hot chocolate? - Yes, please. Let's get some lights on. What the hell? Don't look, don't move, don't even breathe, or it'll be the last breath you ever take. What, did Richard and Tina come back? No, they wouldn't do this, look what's-- Did Tina and Richard come back early? But why would they do this? I don't know. Mom, what, Mom, Mom, Mom. Oh my god, Mom. Oh my god. I told you to keep quiet! What, what do you want, what do you want? All the cash in your purse. Give it to me. Okay, okay. Okay, here, here. Please, just take it and leave us alone, please. - That's all you got? - Yes, yes, just take it, don't hurt us, please, please. Give me your purse. I won't. I'm sorry, I didn't hear you. Yes, you did. I said I'm not giving you my purse. Mom, just give it to him. Shut the fuck up! Now let's try this again. Give me your fuckin' purse. I've worked hard all my life for my money. I'm not giving it to a monster like you. Looks like we got a hero. You wanna be a hero, grandma? Mom, please, just give it to him. If you don't give me your fucking purse by the time I count to three, I will be prying it from your cold, dead fingers. One. Two. Okay, you win, you win. Jesus. You live in a big place like this, you can't be fuckin' poor. We're just a normal family, please. We're not rich. Guess we'll just wait for Pops to come back, huh? Maybe we should take his car and find us a place where they've got some real money. I feel sorry for your mothers. You got some spunk for an old broad. I like that. You feel sorry for who? Come on, say it again, who do you feel sorry for? - Just get outta here. - First, answer the question. Who do you feel sorry for? - Just get the hell out! - You stay the fuck down! You animal! Oh, you had the courage to say it once, just say it again. Your life may just depend on it. I said I feel sorry for your mother. Now I lay me down to sleep I pray the Lord my soul to keep. You like to pray, huh? Answer me this. If there's a god and you believe in him, why isn't he striking me down right now to save you? What? I mean why doesn't he send a fucking lightning bolt to crush in my skull and save one of his faithful? He may not strike you down now, but believe me, he will. - Oh, he will. - One day. Always a fuckin' answer. Always an answer to why the big man don't show up. Have you ever thought about this, maybe he just ain't fuckin' there, hm? Or maybe he just doesn't give a shit about you, about me, about any of this. Finish your fucking prayer. I'm not praying for you. You better fucking start. If you don't start praying to your god, then you're gonna be meeting him a lot earlier than you planned. Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep. If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take. Amen. Oh my god, oh my god. Grandma's fucking dead. It's the natural order of things. Shut the fuck up! Next bullet's for your daughter. Sh-sh. What the fuck is your problem? I thought we were just gonna take their money and car and get outta here. Yeah, well plans fucking change, deal with it. It's just that-- Are you goin' soft on me? No. Look, I ain't here to fuck around, okay, yeah? If someone's givin' me shit, someone's gettin' in my way, one way or another, they're getting out of my way. If you don't understand that, then go get yourself a "born to lose" tattoo and get your chicken ass back to the slammer. You understand me? I understand, ease the fuck up, I ain't your enemy. When's Pops comin' back, huh? Please, please, we haven't seen your faces, so we can't identify you, okay? Please, just let us go, please? Please. - Look at me. - No. - Look at me! - No! Look at me, or you're gonna be reunited with Grandma. Now you've seen my face. Why are you doing this? Because I can. The thing is, now you can identify us. You know what that means, don't you? What? We can't leave any witnesses. Please, you don't have to do this. Witnesses ain't gonna do us any good. What about hostage? That could help if you get caught by the police. - You volunteering? - Yes! - Yes, yes, yes, - No. Take me, you let my daughter go, please, please. What do you think? I don't know, if we... We run into trouble on the road. It could give us somethin' to bargain with. - Right? - It's a good point. Okay, we'll take a hostage. The thing is, we're only gonna need one of you. Okay, take me, just let my daughter go, please. We can't let anyone go, you've seen our faces. - Well. - What? One of you's gonna be our hostage, and the other one, it's the end of the road. - No, no, please! - Just take my mom-- - please take my mom. - No, no stop. - Let me stay. - Please. Shut the fuck up! Both of you. If you can't make a decision, I'm gonna have to make it for you. - No. - It's okay, it's okay. - No. - Shh, shh. No, no. No, no! Miney, mo. Catch a bitch by her toe. If she don't holler, let her go. Eeny, meenie, miney. The fuck you waiting for, get the fuck after her! Go on! Put the fucking knife down! I should kill you right fuckin' here. Then why don't you? Because I'm a fucking professional! Look, we're gonna be takin' off soon, and we need leverage. You really think the cops are gonna take a shot at us with your pretty little ass in the car? Now get the fuck back to the cabin! Now won't you listen, deary, while I say How can you tell me That you're goin' away Get inside, come on. Take a seat. You know I've loved you through these many years I loved you night and day Had trouble? I took care of it. Now that you're gone You wanna drink? No. Get her a drink. I said I didn't want one. Look, I'm tryin' to keep things civil. You call killing people civil? Those two gave me shit, and they paid the price. You keep your mouth shut, do exactly as I say, you got nothin' to fear from me, okay? Drink your fuckin' drink. You wanna fuck with me, huh? - Is that what you want? - No, no! You wanna fuck with me? I'll show you who you're fuckin' with! - You wanna fuck with me? - Taylor, wait, wait! What? Listen. It sounds like Daddy's home, huh? Ed, be a dear and run outside and welcome him, huh? Leave him alone, ah! Listen to me, listen to me. You make a fuckin' sound, and Daddy goes down for the dirt nap, you understand, huh? Right. Oh , hello, who are you? Your worst fuckin' nightmare. Now get the fuck inside. Oh all right, all right, just take it easy, take it easy. Okay, okay. Come on, princess. Move it! - Dad. - Oh my god, are you okay? Does it look like she's fuckin' okay, Pops? As much as she's been through already, it's gonna get a hell of a lot worse if you don't do exactly as I say, you got that? - Okay, okay-- - Mom! Where the fuck you goin' Pops? Patty? Patty. All right, that's enough, Pops, come on. Time for you to start worryin' about the family members who are still alive, yeah, hm? What do you want? First thing, all the money in your wallet, and your credit cards. Then I want you to write down those PIN numbers, okay? Okay. What are you doing, Sheriff? That beating at the roadside, the one on the border at Fort Creek. Yeah, what about it? That happened over here at Devil's Point, right? Yeah, Fort Creek PD said the stolen car was seen heading east. Marvin's store is over here on Madison. The only road comin' into Oakley from Devil's Point runs right past there. So what are you sayin', Sheriff? I think the guys who stole the car are the same people who robbed Marvin's store. What makes you say that? Fax just came through. Two escaped convicts from Salt Lake County. Von Taylor and Edward Deli. Von Taylor was convicted of aggravated burglary, Deli for arson. I'm guessin' they're only serving short sentences for those convictions. Why the hell would somebody break out? Who knows. Some men just can't stand to be caged. You think they're in town? Possibly. Or they could've passed through already. But if these two did rob Marvin's store, then they're armed, and we need to be vigilant. These better be the right numbers, Pops, 'cause if I get to the bank, and I found out that you stiffed me, I'm gonna kill these girls, yeah? They are the right numbers. I wouldn't mess around with my daughters' lives. Good, okay. I'm gonna need the keys to your car. Okay. Are you leaving now? Yeah. We're taking these two little bombshells with us. You don't need them. Two little white chicks up here in Mormon country could come in handy if we need to negotiate with the cops. Okay, look, fine, then just take me and let them go. Look, they've been through enough. I'm sorry, Pops. Two's company, three's a crowd, okay? I'm gonna need you to stay here with your wife. Permanently. Shoot this motherfucker. - No. - Please, let him go. Shut the fuck up! Shoot him. I wanna see you fuckin' shoot him. That's it. Yeah. - You don't have to do this. - Shut up! Please don't, please! You really gonna come at me, huh? After what happened to Mama and that old bitch, huh? What the fuck are you waiting for? Shoot him! Come on, you piece of shit, come on. Fucking shit house. Fuck you! Can you come here and look after these little girls for me? Did you think you can handle that, huh? All right, look. The fuck. Please, you have all of our money, you've already destroyed our lives, please just go and leave us alone! Look who decided to grow some fuckin' balls, huh? We won't say anything, just go, please. Shut up! Shut the fuck up! Pops? Shhh, it's okay. I guess we have something in common now, huh? We're all orphans, huh? Okay. Convicts are here. You want me to set up road blocks? We don't have the man power to handle the checkpoints. Liaise with the PDs at Marion, Kamas, and Peoa. Call Daniels, Richards, Benson, and Oldfield. Tell 'em I want a hard target search of every house, convenience store, bank, farmhouse, outhouse and shit house in the area. Any cars reported stolen in the last 24? Not that I know of. They might still be on foot. They could be close. Oh, Ed. What have we said about manners, eh? It's always good manners to take someone's coat when they arrive as a guest. You're a mighty fine twosome. I've been in prison a couple years and you, you're a good damn sight for sore eyes. Leave her alone you fucking animal. Careful. You might get a load in the face. You're disgusting. Take this one, take her. - Ow, you fucking asshole. - Yeah, yeah. Oh yeah, you got a big mouth, just like your sister. Let's see how fuckin' big it can go, huh? Open it. Open your mouth... wide. - Stop it you sick fuck! - Shut it! Come on, you little slut, open your fucking mouth. That's it, nice and wide, wider. Ah, yeah. The fuck is that? Another car's coming. You expecting any visitors, no? - No. - No? - You expecting anyone? - No. Hello? Rich? Stay there. - Okay. - Fuck. Look, let's take the car and get the fuck outta here, Von. No, no, no, no. Not yet. I got some unfinished business. Like what? Like these two joining us upstairs in the bedroom. We're not going anywhere. You sick bastard. Look, that guy could call the cops. We need to get the fuck outta here now. Call the cops and say what? No one was home up here, and, no one knows we're up here. It's just us and these two girls. Okay. Let's go upstairs, give you something else to swallow. You put anything in my mouth and you'll fuckin' lose it. No, it's okay, we'll go. Let's get it over with. Linn. Just trust me on this. It's gonna be okay. Okay. Lead the way, ladies. You fuckin' shit house. I may be getting worried over nothing here, but it's about my brother Richard and his family. They have a holiday cabin just off Oak Grove. I arranged to meet them there this afternoon, they said they'd leave a key out in case they were late. I got there, and the car was outside, but no one answered the door, no key left out. Then, just as I was leaving, I'm sure I saw something move in the window, like someone was ducking down or something. So how many are there in the family? My brother Richard, his wife Pat, and their two daughters, Linnea and Tina. I think Pat's mother Delyth is staying there, too. She usually does over the holidays. I have to ask this question, Mr. Anderson, but um, do you have a positive relationship with the family? Absolutely. I know what you're thinking, that they're hiding from me? But that's not their style. They're not really ones for practical jokes, either. - Okay. - I'm hoping it's nothing, but when I was there, I don't know. It just felt like something was wrong. Okay, well, Deputy Wilkes and I'll take a drive up there soon, and we'll take it from there, okay? Yeah, I appreciate that. It's just us here, it's just you and me, no one else, okay? Shut the fuck up. Come on, come on, come on. Station, what's your emergency? Which one of you keeps a diary? I do. This chapter's juicy. I sat in Todd's car with him tonight. I look forward to it all day, but when it actually happened, I was so nervous. As we kissed I began to feel excited, and then he slipped his hand in my skirt, and I felt anxious initially but then eased into it. He is very good with his hands. I got so wet with his touch. I told you, she's a little slut. Leave her alone! You, you've been testing my patience all fucking day. There's something you should know. I ain't keeping you alive 'cause I need a hostage. I could kill you right now, and it wouldn't mean a thing to me. Truth is this. I want a sample of what you're sellin'. I've been in prison a while, and I'll be damned if I'm gonna pass on that piece of ass. I'd rather die than let you near me. You're fucking repulsive. And believe it or not, it gets my dick hard. The more you resist, the better it gets. Come in Sheriff, come in. Yeah, come in dispatch, this is Redwood. We've had an emergency call from a Richard Anderson. Yeah, what was the nature of the call? He said intruders broke into his cabin, him, his wife, and mother in law. He's severely injured. Said the two intruders are male, still inside the cabin, holding his daughters hostage. All right, dispatch. Put a call out to all units. Tell 'em to go to the Anderson residence at Oak Grove. Tell 'em Wilkes and I will be there when they arrive, over. Received Sheriff, over. It's gotta be those two convicts. Looks to be that way, yeah. Should we wait for backup? We can't afford to wait. Just a few minutes could be the difference between life and death. Remember those ones that got away? I'm not adding these guys to the list. Get up, get up! Okay, it's okay, it's okay. Now, we can have a little fun, okay? First, I think we need to up the stakes a bit, yeah? Ed, around the side of the cabin is a can of gasoline, go get it. What the fuck do you want that for? Just fuckin' go get it. As a guy who went to prison for arson, I guarantee you're gonna love what I got planned. Fuckin' still here? Go fucking get it! Don't fuck with me. Sorry about him. Should we get comfortable? Yeah. You wanna fuck with me, huh? Shut the fuck up, both of you! Sheriff's department! Put your hands on your head and turn around slowly! I said put your hands on your fuckin' head now. Don't do it. Don't do it, don't do it! Mr. Anderson. Don't worry about me. My girls, Linnea and Tina, they're upstairs, go help them. Shh. Now you fuckin' did it! What the fuck is that? Ah, shit. We'll assign you the shittiest ambulance-chasing motherfucker you've ever seen to escort you to the gas chamber, bitch. Fuck. Shit. Jesus fuck! How does it feel, huh? Having a gun pointed at you? You son of a bitch. So this is what makes you feel powerful. This is what makes you feel like a man. Just fucking kill me, 'cause I ain't goin' back to the joint all right? Kill you? Maybe I will. But first, I want you to understand one thing. I refuse to be a victim. You've done all you can today to beat me down and make me feel like I'm nothing. You've robbed me of the people I love. Now you have a choice to make. Instant death, or live without your balls. You haven't got the fucking guts. If you don't make a decision, I'm gonna have to make it for you. Eeny, meeny, miney, mo. Catch a bastard by the toe. If he don't holler, let him go. Eeny, meeny, miney, mo. Put the gun down. This piece of shit isn't getting off that easy. I said put the gun down. He has to pay for what he did. He will. He'll spend the rest of his life in prison. Is that justice? His life will be one of confinement, worrying every day if he's gonna get attacked by society's worst people. If you kill him now, his suffering will be over, and he won't have to live with what he's done. So put the gun down. It's okay, Linn. It's okay. It's okay, it's over. You have the right to remain silent. Yeah, yeah. - Anything you say can and-- - Fuck! Sheriff. You gotta see this. What is this? It's a tape we got out of a home movie camera in the cabin with the family. I was expecting to see normal family stuff on it, but you gotta check this out. - Recording, yeah? - Yeah, pretty sure. Yeah, yeah, go, go. All right. What do we got there? Linnea. Oh man. This is like. What the fuck is that? - Fucking-- - Are you kidding me? What the fuck. Stupid gloves or somethin'. Like, pretty knock out socks. - Piece of shit. - We're terrible. Still on me, yeah? Yeah yeah, it's on you. The fuck is this? Boots? They got a foot fetish? It's all fucking feet. Fuckin' book. Who wants a fuckin' book for Christmas? To Dad, love me. How's he supposed to know who me is, huh? Idiot. Oh, Daddy gets a mug, huh? Yeah, real original. Jesus. You look uglier on this than you do in real life. You fucking kidding me? No, man. Fuck you, you piece of shit. You're fuckin' ugly, just lookin' at you. God, it doesn't feel like 10 years. No, it feels like only yesterday. We gonna go in, or? Yeah, that's why we're here. Come on. It's still too painful. I know it is. It's about feeling pain and being able to deal with it in a healthy way. I feel like they took my sense of security. I can't even walk a block to my car at night without being on edge. But it's made me protective over those I love, even the people I don't know. You know, I'm the first to walk up to a girl and ask if that guy's bothering her. I guess it's, it's given me strength to stand up for myself. Same for me, I guess. Just being able to be back here shows us how far we've come. You know I was so angry for years after what happened. I just couldn't acknowledge my real feelings because they were too painful. One thing I learned through all of this is that none of is was our fault. We can never blame ourselves. I know, yeah, it took me a really long time to accept that. Even now, I have to remind myself sometimes. I still regret not having the best relationship with Mom. You know she adored you though, right? Of course, yeah I loved her, too, I still do. But since she's-- It's weird. I almost feel closer to her now. I find myself saying things to the kids that Mom would've said to me, it's like. It's like she's still with me. God, we've been through a lot. Yeah. But we're still here. |
