- Oh, my God!

- The juice is low. Hurry.

No. That lady

might still be alive.

We haven't got

time for this.

We can't just ignore this.

We have to go in.

I'm going in.

Oh, my God.

(Girls retching

and screaming)

Leann,

where is he?

Leann.

Leann!

Oh, my God.

Leann!

Please help me.

(Door bangs)

- (Women scream)

Seen enough?

Wait, wait, wait.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Okay. Just go.

Ow. F***!

Run for the fuel house.

I'll be right behind you.

Are you ready?

Go, go. Go.

Nobody's gettin' in here now.

Phone's back that way.

Ben?

He was right behind me.

Ben?

- (Screaming) Run!

- Leann!

Leann?

It's okay.

It's okay.

Okay, I just

have to get out...

I just have...

(Metallic clattering)

Ben?

Ben.

Come on,

come on.

Okay, green to green.

Green to green,

green to green, red to red.

Red to red.

(Muttering incoherently)

(Shrieking)

(Screaming)

(Agonized screaming)

Keep going.

That's it.

No more video.

That's the end.

F***!

We have one more phone.

- Okay, play it.

- Haven't you seen enough?

Okay, so, mom, this is

where we're at right now.

Um, takin' a little break.

I just wanted to let you know

that I'm okay,

and on my way to Vegas.

Uh, I shouldn't have left

like that.

I was just mad and...

Tyler:
I don't

trust you anymore.

Leann:
Trust me?

How is this a matter of trust?

We didn't talk

about this.

You didn't

ask me first.

You didn't

prepare me.

You just came up on my big moment

and asked me to marry you.

(Both arguing)

Stop being so needy.

What are you doing right now?

We almost have a near-death experience,

and you bring me

in here to do this?

Oh, my God,

grow up! Stop!

...my priorities

in life.

- Your priorities?

- Yeah.

I don't wanna

marry you.

Get it through

your skull.

I don't want

to marry you! God!

Go write a f***ing

song about it,

and pretend to be

good at something.

Jesus Christ!

What the f***

are you lookin' at?

- Are you f***ing kidding me?

- What?

I don't... I don't know.

There should be...

There should be

more memory on the hard drive.

It must've got, I guess,

erased or something.

- Erased?

- There should be a memory card here.

It's not...

Okay, the memory card's

not in there and...

- okay, where is it?

- Gabe.

- I don't know.

- Gabe, sound. Sound on the TV.

- I don't know.

- Sound.

- Uh, okay.

- Oh, sh*t.

- Reporter:
Yes, we can now confirm...

- Sh*t!

The leaked footage is,

in fact, genuine.

It's being called

a snuff film.

And others on the web are

calling it an instant classic.

What we know for sure

is that this video

has gone viral,

with over 3 million hits

in the last hour alone.

We're attempting to trace

the original...

How the f***

did she get that?

...Las Vegas

police department,

and how this will affect

their investigation.

Who had access

to those tapes?

We uploaded the videos

to the server.

It could've been

hacked by anyone.

- F***!

- I.T., I.T.

Yeah, how come everything I

sent you in the past four hours

ends up on TV?

I don't know, turn it on.

It's everywhere.

Gary, why are you asking me this?

I'm asking you.

It's your whole

department.

Burquez:
And he's just playing with us,

because this whole thing

is just a big f***ing game.

(Phone rings)

Gabe:
We're the police. Okay?

We're not just idiots running around.

Check the fiber...

Burquez.

Man:
The chief wants you

in his office right away.

(Gabe continues talking)

Sh*t!

Yeah, yeah. No.

I'm comin' down.

I'm comin' down.

I'm gonna

find out, man.

It is crazy out there.

Every channel's

showin' that video.

Tell me

you found something.

Um, just initial

background.

William gentry.

Bus driver Ben tuttle,

wasn't even his real name.

Turns out he did three years

for grand larceny.

Tried to rob a bank

from the inside out.

Sh*t. This guy went in

dressed like an armored guard.

It was working until

the real guard showed up.

Two people

ended up dead.

It's too bad

we saw him die.

He was staggering around

covered in blood,

but we don't know

he was dead.

You think

he did it?

What?

Where you going?

Flynn.

I didn't know

you were back.

How's our witness?

Barely said a word,

but this kind of trauma

can really f*** your memory.

Mind if I take a shot?

Go ahead.

I'm detective Reese.

How you holdin' up?

I thought you might

like this back.

Luck of the Irish?

Mine's for luck, too.

It was

my daughter's.

Gracie.

You know, after

something like this happens,

they say that

things will be okay,

that it just

takes time,

and life will

go back to normal.

But it's not true,

ya know.

Things can't be normal.

They just

keep going.

Maybe that's good

enough, ya know.

Tyler?

He's in the hospital.

The doctors are doing

the best they can.

What happened to her?

Your daughter.

We were just

shoppin' at the mall.

She was in one of

those little play areas...

You know, with the slides

and the bean bags.

And I turned around

for a few minutes,

and when I looked back

in on her, she was gone.

Six months later,

they found

her little body

behind a truck stop

in barstow.

Just like that,

somebody changes

your life forever.

Did you find out

who did it?

No.

I just don't...

I don't understand

how someone can do

something like this

to innocent people

like it's nothing.

To a serial killer,

murder is an art.

Or sport.

They wanna

be the best.

It's their way

of getting attention.

Showing the world

what they're capable of.

The power that they have

over life and death.

In their minds,

they're different from

the rest of us.

They feel like

they're gods.

And they never stop.

And that's why

I need your help.

You gotta try

and help me.

I don't think I can.

If you can remember

something about what happened,

they maybe I can stop him

from hurting anyone else.

You understand

that, right?

The driver, Ben.

Did you see him again after you

went into that last building?

I don't remember.

I don't know.

He was in that room.

The one with

the broken-down truck.

We just... we ran inside.

Me, Rachel and Ben.

Yeah.

When I turned around, he wasn't

there anymore. I tried to find him.

I know you did. You went down the

hall, right? You walked down the hall.

And you saw something

that scared you, right?

I saw him.

Yeah. Was it Ben?

He was wearing a mask.

He came after me.

He grabbed me.

And did you see

anything at all?

Did you see

any defining marks?

- I mean, it could be a scar, a tattoo.

- No.

And he must've hit me,

because when I woke up,

I didn't know where I was.

I was just in a room.

I could see Rachel

through a crack,

and she was fighting.

And then,

she ran outside,

and I saw

the welder's torch

banging against

all the gas tanks.

I broke through a window,

and I crawled out,

and there was

an explosion.

I remember...

Steven, he was

trying to scream,

but he was choking.

He just kept choking.

There was so much blood,

and everything

was burning.
