In The Valley Of Elah Page #2

Synopsis: In Monroe, Tennessee, Hank Deerfield, an aging warrior, gets a call that his son, just back from 18 months' fighting in Iraq, is missing from his base. Hank drives to Fort Rudd, New Mexico, to search. Within a day, the charred and dismembered body of his son is found on the outskirts of town. Deerfield pushes himself into the investigation, marked by jurisdictional antagonism between the Army and local police. Working mostly with a new detective, Emily Sanders, Hank seems to close in on what happened. Major smuggling? A drug deal gone awry? Credit card slips, some photographs, and video clips from Iraq may hold the key. If Hank gets to the truth, what will it tell him?

How devils these?

Well, do you want a coffee or a foot piece?

Not I have time, Helen this waiting for me

in the car.

No, all have left.

She wants to arrive quick.

The children are waiting for us.

I found their old notebook.

Is something written that says key?

No, there is not anything of that.

These sure one?

If this but I don't sit down with desires of

to tell it to you.

Don't worry Hank, he/she will already appear.

He is a good boy, you that it is it.

I will find it.

I call you tomorrow.

What this happening?

Don't worry, not this related with

animals.

What?

We find parts of a body in

the highway.

He/she looks, there this your family.

He/she stops to joke with that.

Sh*t.

Sh*t!

What do I make?!

Don't stop.

Don't stop!

Hurry!

- Hold on to!

What do you make?

Some evidence but Marcus?

It is all that we have.

See to buy some glasses descartables,

we go.

And bring me a receipt!

Shawn?!

Do tell me that you discovered?

Good it seems that it kills her it was murdered the one

side of that fire.

Then the body you burns, the animals

they made it pieces.

And is this our jurisdiction?

Good, this seems to have been ago

two months.

The property of the city

alone he/she extends until

this fence

I don't believe that it is our body, boss.

Hallelujah, let us go home!

Boys pack!

The soldiers took charge of this!

Mr. Deerfield?

Am I Jim Mosher, can I speak with you?

If, ahead, alone gives me one minute.

Mr., I sit down to inform him/her that a body

it was opposing last night

The investigation says that

they can be their son's remains

Correct, does he/she need him to identify the body?

Not Mister, they identified the body of

another way...

I believe that for partial fingerprints.

To that refers with partial?

What do I pass him/her?

Not I can say it Mister, somebody of the base...

I want to see their body now!

Agent Deerfield, this is not necessary.

Not it is the way like he/she should remember

to their son.

Perhaps not.

... but it is the way like accent the earth,

so I want to see it.

The pattern shows that

the body was desmenbrado

before being burnt.

It perishes to have been with

a he/she arms piercing but even

we don't know with accuracy

that steel type.

For that reason the bones are cut and

not pulled up.

The pattern of the burnt sample parts

of the mienbros they were stabbed

and they put a fuel with intention

of burning the body.

It is ridiculous because it should it should not have cold

so that the fire spreads

What means that the

majority of the fabrics

So the damages are bigger in this part,

but I don't arrive to the bone

the cause of death

he/she delayed a little in knowing it

but there is multiple stabbed

How many?

How many stabbed?

Good with so much alone lost skin we will be able to

to count those that arrived to the bone.

Would how many be those?

A knife or several?

One.

did you give this to the I exercise?

They took their own pictures.

And they didn't make it very well.

If this well would like me

to ask him/her some things

when it arrives home.

Wonder them now.

Their son taenia a green car?

Mike non taenia a car.

Report they say that they saw it a green car

in the field on Saturday in the night.

A theory says it can have been a robbery

that I finish bad.

There is a lot of activity of robberies lately.

I want to see where he/she died.

I sit down it, it is even one

scene of the crime, but

I will warn him/her he/she hardly can.

This well.

What but he/she wanted to ask?

All this seems to have been

related with I traffic of drugs.

He/she asks me if my son was a trafficker of

you drug or alone an addict.

Not he/she wanted to ask him/her he/she swims.

You know that the one exercises ago

you prove regular with drugs.

Not when they are in Iraq.

We find this below of the mattress

of their son.

Non anger in my report.

I ask because last month we arrest

to 3 soldiers that tried

of bringing heroine from Kuwait.

They sold it to the gangs

Mexicans.

I understand that the wise one Spanish.

And you believe that it can have trafficked with

it drugs alone because he/she speaks Spanish.

No.

Because somebody cuts him/her the hands and

the head.

I sit down that of their son a lot.

Demonstrate it to me.

Do I sit down it?

I need to see where he/she died.

Not it is our case

the murder happened in another district.

But you know where it is.

Not there is anything to see.

Then there won't be problems

if I see it.

It is noticed that they know how to examine a scene of the crimer

I suppose that they thought that serious a good one

he/she devises to murder it here.

Their investigators found blood

in this part

here it should be murdered.

You don't see blood but he/she knows that it is there.

If.

It seems that their body was dragged

from here

until there.

That is impressive.

The road this clean one but you

you see marks of blood.

If they took the nuisance

of burning their body

he/she doesn't believe that also

they would cover their prints.

I will go to the bathroom.

If he/she entered with their car he/she would not make so much

I damage as the one that you leave

It seems that he/she knows everything.

Hello.

Hello.

Can I help him?

I suppose that the police

he/she has come to ask him/her

that I pass in that field.

If, they made it that terrible what you/they found.
