Help!

Frankie, stop!

Get up. Get up.

Help! Help us!

Let us go!

Get in the van.

Carter

Wait. What are you doing?

They saw my face.

Help! Someone, help us!

They kids.

Now they've seen your face, too.

Get in the van.

Please let us go.

We didn't do anything.

Go on. Get in the van.

Please.

Help! Help!

Frankie.

Damn.

Is that your dog?

Easy!

Get out the way!

It's more like saving our butts.

Find the phone, Titus. Hurry up.

Mommy!

Get rid of it.

Get it out the window, idiot.

Please stop.

We in too deep now, brother.

We can't do that.

He's gone.

Stop driving!

We can't stop!

We can stop!

No, we can't!

Syd, where are you taking us?

Don't worry.

I got this covered, I promise.

Why are you so ugly?

Wanna say that again?

Hey! What are you doing back there?

Nothing. It's just my lunch.

What is that?

Do not take your eye off of him.

Don't you never call me ugly. Never!

Whoa!

Hurry up. Hurry up. Hurry up.

Tie 'em up in that back room.

Hurry up.

Let me go!

Hey.

Double knots. Put the tarp on the van.

They ain't going anywhere.

Give me your hands.

Please.

I'm almost done with my shift,

and I haven't heard from you guys.

I know that you're mad at me,

but you have to tell me where you are.

Look, I'm sorry.

And I love you.

So call me, okay?

What'd you pick this place for?

Gives me the creeps.

So nobody comes sniffing around.

Checking our score.

I mean with them.

I didn't sign up for no kidnapping.

Let me make something real clear to you.

There are people that want money from us,

but we ain't got no money, do we?

So they gonna break

every bone in our body instead.

That what you signed up for?

I don't owe those people nothing.

That's all you.

Who took care of you seven years, huh?

Food, clothes, all that?

I was the one who figured out a way

for us to keep on

even when our own parents wouldn't.

What I owe, you owe.

Sell all this, pay off our debt.

Keep them around in case we need

a getoutofjailfree card.

And then what?

And then we no longer need 'em.

She's cold.

So what?

I like this here watch.

A lot.

It actually reminds me

of a watch my daddy had.

Give it back!

Was this the reason

y'all was in the shop today?

"To the man of my dreams.

"I love you more than the moon

and the stars. Love, W." That's nice.

Let me work this here.

Your daddy run off.

Got sick and tired of you, your old mama.

So she sold it. It's good riddance.

But then, y'all want a little

something something to remember him by.

Ain't that right, little man?

Tell me how bad you want it.

Come on. Tell me.

It's yours, ain't it?

You can take it from me.

Take it. Take it.

Yeah.

What you scared of?

You're a little coward, huh?

Just like your old man.

Sic, Rott! Sic him!

We okay?

You, too, dumbo.

Go. Go!

Hey!

Dumb move, dog.

Where are you?

Hey!

Hey!

Help!

Day keeps getting better.

Little doggie.

Where you at, baby boy?

Come out and play.

Little doggie.

Where are you?

I'm gonna skin you alive.

Gonna wipe that stupid grin off your face.

Where you at?

Benji!

Come here, boy. Get this.

Please, get this.

Good boy.

I hate that dog!

Please, Benji, hurry.

It's stuck. He can't get it.

Please, Benji.

Come on!

Oh, I think Rottie smells him.

Get him, Rott.

No!

Run, Benji, run!

Don't hurt him!

Run, Benji!

Help! Get me out of here.

Hey, who is that?

What are you doing in here?

Puppy, bark for me!

Where'd you go, puppy? Come on, puppy.

Where'd you go? I know you're out there.

What are you doing out there?

Come on, puppy. Come on, puppy. Come on.

Hey, puppy, come on back now.

What're you...

Are you trying to get the lock?

Come on, puppy, you can do it!

I know you can.

Come on, pup. Don't leave me now.

Don't give up, puppy.

Come on, baby. I know you can do it.

Come on, puppy. You almost got it. Get it.

Come on, pup. Come on,

I know you can do it.

Puppy, thank you! You opened the door!

Yes, yes, hey. Good boy.

Wait. Where's Carter and Frankie?

Yes, sir. I'll keep you posted.

Yeah.

Sam King

Detective Lyle Burton. How you doing?

Hey. Listen. You got to find the kids.

Trust me, we're gonna find them.

Did you see what the guys look like?

No, they were wearing

I got something.

Okay. Hold on for a second, okay?

What you got

I found it out back.

Lord, Ms. Hughes, I'm so sorry.

Ms. Hughes, I'm Detective Lyle Burton.

We're gonna do everything we can

It's the watch.

Your husband's watch.

The kids have been coming in

every day almost trying to buy it back.

I told them that I sold it. I didn't know

that they'd come in here to...

Hey! What...

Get him. What...

That dog saved me.

He got me out of the dang closet

they locked me in.

We need to follow procedure, okay?

I think he's trying to

tell you something.

Ms. Hughes! Ms. Hughes!

Stay put. Requesting backup.

I got a 212 on foot.

Suspect identification?

Uh, brown hair, 35 pounds, four legs.

You wanna repeat that, Burton?

Not especially.

We're parked down there.

Ms. Hughes, let me do my job.

I'm following that dog.

Listen, we'll find them.

We will follow the dog. Just come on.

Fine. Let's go.

Hey, hold up, hold up.

Sam?

About to catch a heart attack.

Get in the car. Let's go!

Hey, hey. No, no, no, you wait.

Wait here. I got it.

Must be out of my doggoned mind.

The heck you sniffing around for?

What you got?

What

Pudding

Is that why you brought us here?

Okay.

And then you walk off. Great.

Stop. Just stop.

No, stop. Just stop!

Do you have any idea

how much time I've wasted?

My kids are...

I don't wanna see you ever again. Go.

Do you hear me? Go!

What the heck were you thinking, Street?

We got procedure, son.

Sir, I know. I got carried away.

Ms. Hughes? Here's a cup of jasmine tea.

It manifests good fortune.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

How much money had they saved up?

It doesn't matter.

I should've given them the watch back.

No, I never should have sold it.

I should've done something

so they didn't think that buying a watch

would make it all okay.

The honest truth is, Ms. Hughes...

I didn't give the watch back,

'cause I like having 'em come in.

Those two, they got

nothing but love in 'em.

I got something.

It's Carter's.

A traffic cop found it.

No usable prints,

but it's a starting point, locationwise.

Hey, come on. Give me my phone back.

Don't eat the rubber ducky.

Give me that back. Good boy. Good boy.

What's his name, anyways?

I don't think he has one.

He's a stray.

Hey, where did you come from, buddy?

Do you need a home?

What are you thinking?

What if Mom finds out?

I'm thinking he's lonely.

What are we gonna name him?

Like there's even a reason

to name him.

Mom will never let us keep him.

It's kind of like...

when Dad got sick, Mom did, too.

I miss Dad,

but I miss Mom even more.

I know, Fritter. I know.

"When the road gets dark"

"And you can no longer see"

"Just let my love throw a spark"
