- Shh, it's just me. - You scared me. It's all right, come on. We have to get dressed. It's nighttime. Yeah, put this over you. Do not wake him up. Just come on. - But what if? - Put your clothes on. You have to get out of here. - But what if? - Just hold on. What's going on in there?! - Open this door! - Come on! Open the door! Todd, come on. - I can't. - Yes, you can. Just walk over here. It's all you have to do, but you have to hurry. He's coming. Just come over here, I'll lift you through. Open the door, you little ***! Whoa, whoa, slow down there, pal! Glad to see you guys. We're not sure what to make of this kid. - What's his name? - Bryan Parker. - Got his name off a library card. - So, what, he's not talking? No. He's still pretty shook up. All he's saying is that some little boy's been abducted. All right. Bryan. Hey. I'm Martin, this is Samantha. We're both with the FBI. We'd like to ask you a couple of questions, okay? You know what, why don't you, uh why don't you guys give us some moment. So, Bryan, I'm Samantha. Like he said. Um There's nothing to be afraid of. We're here to help you. Now, these guys, they told me you know something about a boy being abducted, is that right? Can you tell me his name? - Todd. - Todd? Okay, great. Do you know where Todd is right now? Bryan I want to help you, I do, but you gotta give me something; anything. Um, do you know who took him? Who took him, Bryan? My dad. Randall Parker, FBI! Open up! Clear. All clear. Is Randall Parker in the system? No. No criminal record, but we put out an APB on him and his van. And what's the story on the boys? At first, I thought they might be brothers, but then Bryan says he doesn't even know Todd. No last name? Nope, Todd's the only name he's got. Well, the only Todd that's gone missing in New York in the last month is black. There's no telling what he's been through, huh? We're sending a social worker to evaluate him. Thank you. Hey, Bryan. Can I get you something to drink, something to eat? Where's Todd? Did you find Todd? We haven't found your dad or Todd yet. I should've just dragged him out of there. I could've done that, you know? Well, you tried to save Todd. What you did was brave. No, it wasn't. We wouldn't be looking for him right now if it wasn't for you. - It's too late. - No, it isn't too late. Listen to me, the more you can tell us about Todd, the sooner we're going to be able to find him, okay? I don't know where they went. I don't know anything. So Todd never told you anything, anything about himself? Dad never left us alone together. He'd lock Todd up most of the time. Bryan, do you know why your dad took him? Be-Because he likes boys. Can we talk about something else? Sure. Um, why don't you tell me when you first saw Todd. It was last Sunday. So, a week ago. Dad had been away for, like, three days on some work thing, he says. Hey, kiddo, how you doing? Fine. Um, this is Todd. He's going to be staying with us for a little while. It's Mrs. Vadressa's kid. - You remember me talking about her? - Not really. Oh, she's a client. I've known her for years. Anyway, she booked a trip to Italy and her ex was supposed to take care of Todd and he got sick and he's not going to be able to. The poor little guy was pretty upset. He cried himself to sleep. Anyway, I tolder that we'd look after him until she got back. So how'd the math test go? Okay. Okay? What, uh, what is "okay" as a percentage? Ninety-six. That is not okay. That is fantastic. I am I'm proud of you, okay? And I knew you were going to do great, so I got you a little something. - What? - What do you think? The new Xbox? - Yeah. - Really? I got it in the van; wait till you see it. It's fanta Oh, you know, um, if he wakes up, give him one of these, okay? Why didn't you believe your dad's story? I just didn't, that's all. Does your dad have any family, parents, brothers, sisters? Not that I know about. What about friends from work? He's a painter- houses and stuff. He works alone most of the time. Right. You said that your mom died when you were little, yeah? Yeah. Do you remember any family trips? Any, any people coming over? No. - What about other kids? - What do you mean? - Did your dad ever bring home any other kids? - No. - So, then, Todd was the first? - Yeah. That's what I said. Okay. excuse me. . Jack, the time stamp shows Parker making a phone call ten minutes after Bryan got the hell out of here. Local call. Let's have ERT come in here and see if they can pick up some DNA and fingerprints. I have a feeling it's not the first kid this guy's grabbed. Parker called a Judy Brooks on Seventh. Martin's tracking her down. Maybe she'll know who this boy is. You haven't been able to I. D. Todd, huh? Well, Sam has Bryan going through pictures. I mean, we have his name, we have his description. Th-This should be a no-brainer. Well, his name is probably not Todd. Plus, Parker was gone for three days he could have grabbed the kid from out of town. This is so frustrating. - Mrs. Brooks? - Yeah? Hi. I'm Special Agent Fitzgerald with the FBI. I, uh, need to ask you a few questions about Randall Parker. Now, I understand that Parker called you this morning around 5:00 a. m. Yeah, he was looking for his son. He said that Bryan had run away, and he wanted to know if I had heard from him. And I hadn't. Why did he think Bryan would contact you? There was this incident last week. I got here as quick as I could. - Are you okay? Is he okay? - He's fine, Mr. Parker. Why don't you tell your dad what happened. - I got busted. - For what? Drinking. I'm drunk, Dad. Drinking?! - You're only 12 years old. - I don't feel like I'm 12. Well, obviously, this is a serious violation of school policy, but my main concern is what caused this behavior. And did Bryan tell you what that was? He says he's having problems at home. Uh, that's news to me. Well, then why don't we take this opportunity to discuss it? Yeah yeah, we should. Bryan look, you know I love you, and I'm not angry about this, but I thought things were pretty good at home. Um, and if they're not, then I'll try to make them better, but you gotta tell me what's wrong. - You know what's wrong. - No, I honestly don't. But I'm listening. Okay? Both of us are listening. So why don't you just tell us. Is it the long hours I've been working? You know, I know what it is; it's it's Todd, isn't it? Uh, friend of the family's kid is staying with us for while, and I think maybe I've been paying a little too much attention to him and not enough to Bryan. That's it, isn't it, Bryan? - Yeah. - Yeah. That's it. Well, good. That's a good first step. I thought we had made some progress. I recommended a family therapist and gave them my phone number, in case they wanted to talk. I'm assuming that Parker listed next of kin when he enrolled Bryan here? Yeah, it's required; but that was seven years ago. Well, I'm going to need to see those records anyway. - How come they don't have names? - They do. But we left them off, so you could focus on their faces. All these kids are missing? What happened to them? Some of them were taken by a parent, some of them were taken by a stranger; some, we just we don't know. Some of them are dead. Yeah some of them are probably dead. So how long do you keep looking until you give up? We never give up. That's him. Todd's real name is Daniel Ellison, age five; went missing ten days ago from a carnival in Milford, PA. Did we notify the parents? Mm-hmm. They're on their way. Yo, Viv, we have a little bit of a time gap. Bryan said that the kid showed up on on Sunday, right? Y eah. But he went missing ten days ago. Where were they for the last three days? I don't know. Stashed somewhere. Maybe Parker had him put up in a motel. Parker's not his real name. What do you mean? Bryan's school file. Previous address, next of kin, it's all bogus. So I dug a little deeper. Records on Parker only go back seven years. Before that, nothing. So Todd's not really Todd and Parker's not really Parker. Well, whoever he is, NYPD just found his van. You know what? These are pharmaceutical. Run them in to the lab and see what narcotic's in them. - You bet. - Thank you. Jack. Felix, this is Special Agent Malone. Tell him what you just told me. It was, like, an hour ago. I went in to clean the bathroom Oh! Sorry, man, I didn't know anyone was in here. Yeah, no, my kid just got gum stuck in his hair. I kind of had to get drastic, so I'll be done in a minute. Yeah, no problem. I'll come back later. I didn't realize it wasn't his kid. Did you notice which way they went? No, I didn't. Jack this was inside the trash. Probably dyed the kid's hair. Malone. Are you sure? Okay. The lab ran a test on the DNA that they picked up in the apartment. Brian is not Randall Parker's son Yeah, okay, thanks. So far, they canvassed four square blocks, And no one ever saw Parker or the kid - But he may have busted a car - from where? From a long term parking lot very close to the gas station Vehicule description? Well, we will once the owner reports it stolen It's long term parking lot which is why he picked it We don't know where it is going. I'm gonna keep working the neighborhood Ok How you doing with the kid? I'm letting him take a break right now I want you to get back in here and get at it Look, Jack, he needs help, he needs professional help Which I will get him once we ge the information that we need Jack, he needs a therapist Every second that tics by, the odds are greate that Daniel will turn up dead Yes, I'm aware of that But this kid still thinks that Parker is his father I- I don't think I'm qualified to tell him- I want you to go back in there and dig into his past, find out who he is, where he's from and maybe that will gve us a lead on Parker Just go in there and do it So his real name is Daniel From Milford, Pennsylvania Does that ring a bell? No Bryan, you lived in the apartment with your father for seven years, Where were you before that? I do'nt know You would have been 5 years old No? So, nothing before the apartment? I guess I was too little Right Cute picture I always wished I could draw It never really comes out the way I want it to Have you seen this house before? It's always been in my head Maybe you've been there I feel like I was Hum, you know what? Brian, I'm gonna ask you to do something and it's gonna sound a little stupid but I want you to bear with me I want you to close your eyes and try to picture the house I know, I konw Will you try it? Just concentrate really hard. Can you see it? Brick Wire on the windows and a pointed roof Do you see anything else? There's a car in the driveway sort of brownish can you see a licence plate on the car? Can't really tell what it says Ok, what about, hum, color? Can you see the color of the license plate? White with dark letters Ok, Brian, uh Are you at the house? Yeah I'm playing playing in a pile of leaves A woman's there She hugs me Is it your mother? I don't know I know I asked you this before Do you remember your mother's name? No But, she was married to my dad, so can't you look it up? Well, to be honest with you we haven't had a lot of luck with that Why are you asking me about my mother? Because we're trying to get background on you to help us find Daniel What does Daniel have to do with me remembering my mom or with where I was when I was five? You're not telling me something You know what? I think we sould take a break, right? - Was he married to my mom? - I don't Know So if they weren't married, why was I living with him? - There could be all kind of reasons why- - Did he take me? Did he take me like he did Daniel? He did. And you knew? - You knew all along - I didn't Know Brian Is that even my name? - I thought you were on my side - I am on your side You don't give damn 'bout me, you only care about finding Daniel Just get away from me Get out Ok You're happy? Viv, are you trying to figure out who Brian is? I'm running all the kids who went missing the same time Parker grabbed him He took Brian at 5 and Daniel is 5 So. . I guess he was looking for a younger model It's horrible He's not in the database? No one in this case is Well, at least we got an ID on what Parker's driving A blue Ford van was reported stolen from long term parking And we have an APB out, so that's something That is. Johnson Yeah, thanks Daniel's folks are here He was cutting Daniel's hair? Oh my god! Why would he do that? To change his appearance We have a nation wide alert out on the both of them Daniel looked ok, though, right? He seemed ok? Yes, from everything I understand We are putting all our ressources into finding your son Is this man. . a sex offender? He doesn't have a record Do you have any idea where my son is? We have a few leads that we're following And huh there are some reasons to be hopeful What reasons? The fact that this man bothered to change your son's appearance to dies his hair, to cut it It shows that he's formed some kind of bound with him As disturbing as that is to hear, that works in our favor I want to show you a photo Familiar? No I don't recognize him - Wait I saw this guy - What? You saw him, where? - At the carnival? - No, huh. . before that in the morning, at-at the park Hey - You're ok, buddy? - Yeah, I got off the trail Kinda have a rough go getting back on Yeah, I guess I learned my lesson I Guess you did. Have a good one. Yeah, You too. He seemed just like another hiker I never gave it another thought Where this park? According to Mr Ellison, Parker came out right about here What the hell is over there? Parker had three days with Daniel that we can't account for, rigth? Right Well, maybe after he grabbed him, he brought him out here and kept him in some place in the area Based on this map, the closest thing to a shelter is cave about a quarter mile east here Danny Ok, Danny said there was a blunt force trauma to the boy's head The Piky county coroner is IDing the body I heard So, how can I help you? You could look through these Boys missing in the NY state area in the past seven to eight years And how do you know Brian is from NY? I don't, I'm playing the odds He said he remember a white license tag with black letters - And we found them in NY, so I figure we start there - All rigth The boy they found is not Daniel Ellison - What? - Who is he? We don't know yet He's the same age as Daniel but the coroner thinks he's been dead for about a month Wait a second I thought it was a freshly dug grave? Yeah, it looks like Parker reburied the body They found two different types of swell on it Brian said that Daniel was the only boy he ever brought home - We need to talk - Why would I talk to you? - You lied to me - No, you lied to me You told me - Daniel was the only kid Parker brought home - So? Why don't you tell me about the boy he took before Daniel? There was no boy - Stop lying - I'm not lying We just dug up his body from a shallow grave You tell me who he is He had a mark on his ankle Like a restraint I think he was kept somewhere, I think it was your apartment - No - The mark matches the strap we found in Parker's dresser Did he make you help him? - No - Brian, you're here Because you tried to save Daniel And I know the last thing you want is for him to end up like this boy So tell me what happened He was russed at the house Like you say What's his name? I don't know He was only there one night Stop crying I want my mommy Well you can't have her Get away from me Come along now Leave me alone Kid, here, com'on I'll help you up, Com'on Get up You're ok? Com'on, you're ok. . you're. . just Breathe, just breathe for me Just breathe for me, huh? Wake up, com'on Wake up Damn it! When I woke up they were both gone As if nothing ever happened I just stood there It's not your fault I knew what was happening to him Why didn't I do something? There's nothing you could do Hey So according to Brian, the boy died on august 3rd, right? These are the phone record of that day Just before midnight, Parker made a phone call to a Sarah Pratt, from Lemon, Pennsylvania He called her before? Twice a year, around mid-may and December 25th Christmas and possibly her birthday Could be a family member Ex-wife Here we go Sarah Pratt 38 years old But doesn't say anything about her being married or not How long did the call last? Let me see 2 minutes Well, he reached out to her before So let's hope that he's gonna do it again What the hell is going on here? Sarah Pratt? Yeah, waht do you want? Jack Malone, from the FBI You know this man? Yeah, that's Robert, why are you looking for him? We believe that he's involved in the abduction of several small boys, possibly *** He wouldn't do that Then you don't mind if we take a look inside Go right ahead Thank you What's Robert's last name? Pratt, he's my cousin When was the last time you actually saw him? I don't know Seven years ago, maybe Hey Darling, Robby! What are you doing here? I was just in the neighborhood Wanted to visit my favorite cus' Who's that? Him? Oh that Brian That's my girlfriend's kid You know, I just wanted to take him on a road trip Just that we could see the sights so, him and me could bound I knew you'd settled down sooner or later Oh yeah, yeah. . And the fact is actually we didn't get as far as we were hopind to today and, so, since, you know, we're here and I know you got the room in the barn I was hoping maybe we could crash here for the night Robbie, that barn burned down like 5 yeras ago Oh But, hey, you guys can stay in the house Really, Sarah I don't. . I couldn't do that Oh that's silly, why not, it's no trouble at all Just. . just, you know, he wouldn't feel right So, thanks anyway, we'll find a motel Wait, what about the trailer, remember? Pass the dry well by the woods Oh Are you sure it would be ok? It's the least I can do That boy with him Was he kidnapped? Can you tell me where that trailer is on this property? Put your hands on the air and come out Com'on, there's no point to that Just step outside the trailer with your hands in the air Is the boy in there? No Ok here's the situation. Suspect is dead, young boy still missing We're gonna have to comb every inch of this wood Agent Jonhson is gonna coordinate the search Now, we're gonna conduct a grid search Half of you are gonna go with agent Fitzgerald and me The other half is gonna go with agent Malone So let's move out Does it look familiar? A little - Is this where he took Daniel? - Yeah Whose van is that? That is the van the prep was driving Does that mean you caught him? We did He's dead Did he tell you who I really am? No We're still working on that. Brian I need you to look at this picture and really focus, ok? - You were here too - When? Look at it Can you tell me anything? It was dark I was cold and scared That's all I can remember Hey, can I get some help over here? Daniel! Hey Buddy, you're safe now I'm gonna come in, you're safe now, ok?

Lucas Chethik, he's from Birmington What about Brian? We still haven't been able to, huh, match him to any missing persons reports for kids It's gotta be somewhere we overlooked, we should keep checking I'll search the trailer. Look, I know it's been seven years but I thought I might find something It's a reasonable assumption You know, if Brian doesn't remember anything new. . the hell would he want to Got that right Ok, I'll keep you posted Thanks - Your name is Max McNeill - Max? - Where am I from? - NY Are my parents around?
