Bond of Silence Page #4

when they left the room.

And do you believe them?

They're not telling the whole story.

What's that mean?

Several said

there were others upstairs.

We're trying to figure out

who those others were.

Two hundred kids at that party,

no one saw what happened to Bob?

No, we will continue

to interview them,

and eventually--

Eventually? How am I supposed

to live with eventually?

How am I supposed to

take my kids to the market,

and not know if the boy bagging

killed their father?

Mrs. McIntosh, I completely under--

No, I'm sorry, but you don't.

Every time I walk out my front door,

and I see that house and I think:

"That's where Bob

was beaten to death

and, gee, I wonder who did it."

I'm sorry.

I know that you're working overtime.

Oh, no.

You have every right to be frustrated.

It's not just that. It's...

I hate feeling powerless.

And some of those kids must know

what happened to Bob.

There's gotta be a way

that I can convince them to talk.

And there is, but that's not your job.

That's my job. Okay?

Okay.

She has been posting dozens

of flyers throughout Rees Harbor

asking for help in the killing

that remains unsolved.

Dad, are we still going out to--?

Shh.

She hopes the $10,000 reward

will encourage

those with information about

her husband's death

to come forward.

I don't know how anyone

who lives here can feel safe

when we have a bunch of drunk,

violent, irresponsible kids,

who are posing a threat

to the community.

The kids who know

what happened to Bob,

need to tell the police

what they know.

Their parents should be

encouraging them to do this.

Hey, Shane.

What's his problem lately?

My dad put me through this

third-degree thing last night.

It sucked.

It totally sucked.

Have you guys seen this?

We know all about it.

Not our problem. We're done.

Aren't you worried

someone's gonna tell?

No. Because everybody knows

that a rat is the scum of the earth.

Right. So don't even think about

trying to score some cash.

First of all, I think staying out of jail

is worth a hell of a lot more

than a lousy 10 grand,

and second, I'm no rat.

Then we have nothing

to worry about, do we?

Oh, right. We only lied to the cops

in a murder investigation.

This is our senior year.

Wasn't this supposed to be

the most fun time of our whole lives?

Not so much.

You're not gonna talk to my daughter.

You've talked to her twice. I resent it.

Legally speaking, she's 18.

I don't need permission.

Yeah, legally speaking,

I can sue your ass for harassment.

Look, Angie needs to focus

on finishing school,

getting ready for college.

She can't do that

with you twisting her arm

to get her to admit

to something she didn't do.

Twisting her arm? I'm not.

I'm warning you,

stay away from these kids.

And I am telling you, these kids need

to come clean about what happened.

Right, right. Well, that's great. Okay,

well, thank you very much for calling.

I appreciate it, and we'll get back

to you if we need to. Thanks.

This is crazy.

I wish she'd talked to me first.

I can only follow up

on four or five an hour.

Should put another guy on this.

Concentrate on the witnesses

we know were there,

forget all these long shots.

You telling the switchboard

to forward these calls to me?

Detective Jackson.

I can barely hear you.

You were at the party?

Wow.

Wow.

Look at that car.

Nice.

How do you like

my new birthday present, huh?

My sisters were so freaking jealous,

man, they were, like, crying.

So are you and Daisy,

like, together now?

We might be. She's all right.

Keith. Where you been?

Grounded. Is that your ride?

It is so sick, eh?

It's hot.

So sick.

Look at that thing. Come on, let's--

Whoa, what's going on?

Keith Moore,

we have a warrant for your arrest.

Wait. Why?

You're charged with manslaughter

What?

In the death of Robert McIntosh.

I already told you, it was a tap.

I told you that.

You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can

and will be used against you.

You have the right to an attorney.

If you cannot afford an attorney...

You ratted him out, didn't you?

No.

This is so wrong.

Hey, how are you?

Good morning.

Hi, guys. Oh, you're welcome.

Did you see all the letters

to the editor

defending Keith Moore

as if he's the victim in all this?

I know. My neighbor was saying

she's known Keith since he was 10,

and she said he's a real good kid.

Yeah, well,

maybe he is a really good kid,

but he still hit Bob at least once.

Thanks for looking after the kids.

It's important that

I'm there at the arraignment today.

He admitted from the beginning

that he punched Bob in the face?

And you never told me?

He called it a tap.

We had no confirmation

from witnesses

that it was anything but that

until an anonymous call said

a punch put him on the ground.

What else did they say? A punch

doesn't explain a severed artery.

He must have kicked him.

Well, that's all they're saying.

I thought you said you brought in

the person who's responsible.

No, I never said that.

But you're charging him

with manslaughter.

Keith Moore is gonna break

the silence between these kids.

We're hoping he gives us the killer

if he thinks he's facing jail time.

Now, you brace yourself.

Moore's got a lot of support.

Here he comes!

We're with you.

You hang in there, bro.

Don't worry. The town is behind you.

- We're with you.

Do you have a comment?

Look this way, Mrs. McIntosh, please.

You shouldn't be going after

my son.

He's cooperated with the police

from the beginning.

He didn't have anything to do with it!

Don't you care?

You could ruin his life.

You leave our kids alone.

This isn't right.

I'm not backing down

till I find out who did it.

I have the right to know.

Hey, sweetie. Sorry I'm so late.

I picked up sandwiches at the deli,

if you're hungry.

Uh-- No.

I'm not feeling too good.

Oh, no.

Are you feeling sick again?

Are you running a fever?

No, it's just my stomach.

Last week, it was your head,

and now your stomach.

Jordan. That's weird.

Doesn't she usually call your cell?

Can you just tell her I'm asleep

or something?

Hi, Jordan.

No, I'm sorry. He can't come to

the phone. He's not feeling very well.

You seen Ryan?

He hasn't been here in a week.

He's not answering his phone.

Do I look like his secretary to you?

Hey, guys, check this out.

That's what you get, snitch.

I never said anything to anyone.

Yeah, right.

I hate you.

What is wrong with you?

Why do that?

The judge wouldn't let Keith

out of jail unless he promised

not to talk to us.

Do you know how hard

I've been working to keep her quiet?

You just messed that all up.

Newsflash, she didn't stay quiet.

Daisy, I'm sorry.

You guys have no reason

to be mean.

If I had called the cops,

they would know a lot more.

Just shut up, Daisy.

A lot of other stuff happened

that you guys don't even know--

Just shut your mouth!

You wanna mess with us?

Stay down, punk.

Just don't say anything to Angie,
