I gotta get Buddy.

Watch out behind you.

Get off me.

Let me, Buddy!

(gasping)

[Epperson] Son of a b*tch.

Stop, stop!

(Wendy yells)

[Epperson] Stop!

No!

[Buddy] You were

supposed to be number four.

Get away from me.

[Olivia] (crying) Please.

(door closes)

Detective.

Not anymore.

Sorry to hear that.

Don't suppose

you know anything

about what's going

on tonight, do ya?

Not a clue.

Deputy Marshal Philips.

Special Agent Bobby Church.

[Philips] Pleasure.

This is ex-Detective Scott.

Ex huh?

Kind of makes me

sound unaccomplished

when you say it

that way, Church.

Thank you.

Look, you're clock's

already running.

Is this the car you'll be

using for the transport?

Yeah.

And we're using him

as a bargaining chip.

I'm honored.

We're just gonna drive

him around a little bit.

We'll get him right back.

Watch your head.

(cell phone ringing)

Loretta.

How much do you love me?

Depends, babe.

What you got for me?

I went through your

little picture show.

Not much to go on.

You know, IVs,

tubes, the finger.

You know, kidnapping stuff.

Boring.

So, you got nothing.

Hold on, pissant.

You know, that mouth of yours.

I got a license plate.

Loretta.

Your little

girlfriend, Epperson.

Every picture, his

eyes were averted.

It was weird.

I mean, every picture he's

looking away, he's nodding.

Even my brother

who had Tourette's

that would've been

strange for him.

Loretta.

He was looking at the glass.

There's something reflected

in the glass jars.

I zoom in, I get

a license plate.

And yes, I already ran it.

Why?

Because I am the

sh*t, that's why.

The sh*t dot com, dot

net, dot org, all right?

Dot edu.

Please.

It is registered to a

one Budford A. Sizemore.

Now, let me ask y'all something.

Who would name

their child Budford?

Loretta, we don't

have any time for...

I'm assuming you

have an address for us.

Yes, I got an address,

but he is not

keeping them people

in that little studio apartment

that he's got listed on

his driver's license.

I'm guessing, he's got

'em at his workplace

because he works at a warehouse.

It's a holiday weekend.

So, the place would be empty.

I'm gonna send

you that address.

Stand by.

I told you she was good.

I am the sh*t. (laughs)

(tense music)

Paul, we found Olivia.

We're on the way now.

(laughs) Exciting.

[Bobby] Let's Big

Bad Wolf this a**hole.

Do not leave him alone.

[Philips] I got my orders.

No security cameras.

We could surprise him.

[Bobby] FBI!

[Scott] Epperson.

[Epperson] We're back here.

[Bobby] Show us your hands!

[Scott] He's unarmed.

[Bobby] Stay down!

I need an APB on Jack Samms.

Jack Samms.

I need a forensic team on site.

Four victims deceased.

I have three missing.

She's dead.

[Scott] Where's Olivia?

[Epperson] They're both dead.

[Scott] Where is Olivia?

[Epperson] Get me out of this.

One police officer

in stable condition.

We're in route to the hospital.

You saw the license plate.

What happened in there?

(metal scraping)

(gasping)

[Olivia] Oh, no, no.

Looks like your plan's

not going so well.

Not gonna get any better.

Why don't you get that

lady out of that box

and we'll figure

out how to end this.

I don't know how I missed it.

Yeah, I think

that's a great idea.

To end this.

I never liked needles.

I guess that's why

I didn't have any.

You son of a b*tch!

Ah, don't be mad, Epperson.

It wasn't me that

cut your finger off.

I didn't cut your finger off

because I'm not about that.

See?

I'm not into violence, but

apparently my friend here is.

Big man panicked, shot the

kid, stomped that poor woman.

I don't know.

She was just in the wrong

place at the wrong time.

Young girl, Nicole,

she actually got free

and made a run for it,

but didn't make it.

Sorry about that.

I had to improvise a little.

Yeah, it's all right.

I'm pretty good at

improvising myself.

(gun fires)

No one dies!

No one dies!

I told him that,

Epperson, but he failed.

So, he pays the price.

I'm really sorry about

your finger, man.

[Epperson] Where

are you taking her?

[Trick] God damn it.

Come back!

Trick!

Trick!

He was running the

show the whole time.

I don't know how I missed it.

Took the truck.

Grabbed that girl, Olivia,

and put her in the

wooden box, took off.

I can't believe he

did this to us again.

(tires squealing)

So, Epperson comes

back in a couple of days.

Yeah, well I'm on the

next train out of here.

This came over for you.

Some more craziness

about that case.

I want a piece of the action

when you get a book

deal off of this.

If you ever find

Trick or Jack Samms,

I'll write that book for free.

Good luck finding that girl.

(cell phone ringing)

Yeah?

Thought I'd save

you the effort

and dial the phone for you.

Yeah, well I still

got a finger for you.

Not that I give a

damn, but you okay?

Yeah, I'll live.

How's the fiancee doing?

Rough.

Not holding out hope.

Putting a lot on my shoulders.

Yeah, that's what I figured.

Well, like I said,

we'll let you know.

But, you know Jack and

Trick, they're in the wind.

Probably.

Okay, let me know the word.

And Epperson?

Yeah.

The guy sends you a message

and claims to know

Jack the Ripper,

maybe don't follow that one up.

(laughs) Will do.

Hey, how's the

niece, by the way?

My fiancee's niece.

[Scott] Niece?

Yeah, Paul's niece, Haley.

The one staying with them.

I don't know.

Olivia said something

about Buddy kidnapping her,

but I figured it was

all part of the bluff.

Paul doesn't have a niece.

[Malone On Phone] Agent

Church, it's Malone.

Happy to get you back next week.

Sounds like you had exactly

the vacation you wanted.

Anyway, I don't know if

you're still over there,

but I faxed over a few

things to add to the file

when you hand in the report.

I guess some of Shawn

Justice's family

has been trying to get all

that money from the account

he shared with Rona Samms.

Looks like they got lucky.

The judge just allowed the

funds released to them today.

Rona Samms being a ghost

for five years and all.

Anyway, I've got a couple

agents looking into it.

See if there's anything there.

Sent you their IDs if you

want something to read.

(tense music)

Hello, Rona.

Jack.

How did you?

I got out.

I guess you don't

watch the news.

In the joint, all

you have is time.

Time to think.

And all you need is one

thing, just one thing,

to get you through.

Through those dark nights.

You know what I had?

I had you.

I thought about you

every hour of every day.

Jack, the money.

The money?

That's nothing.

I moved around a few

things while I was inside.

I still have my old stocks.

Now, Trick, he could never

resist that kind of money

and I couldn't resist

seeing you finally pay up

for your sins.

He and I have been working

on this a long, long time.

I throw him a bunch of

dough, he gets me out.

Luckily, he knows

where to find you.

So, here I am.

And so the clock begins.

Yes, it does.
