Whatever.

"I would like to have a brand, shiny,

new bicycle for Christmas this year."

Well, we'll see about that.

And his name's not on the list.

He'll probably get a real bike this year.

But you...

Thanks, brother.

Hard to see without my glasses on.

You, Donny, you are all on this list.

Right here.

You remember this?

Yeah, that's right, that was me.

But that's not why

you're on this list either.

So, the reason you're on this list is

'cause what you did to the Johnson kid.

- I...

- I. I, I, I, I.

You, "I" what?

I, I, I'm sorry.

You're sorry.

You're a waste of breath is what you are.

Hell, probably doing society a favor.

10 years from now,

they won't even miss you.

Sorry, kid,

but you brought this on yourself.

There's no halfway

with you today, is there?

- String up another one.

- Yes.

No!

Brother, you're gonna like this.

- They're bringing Jeremy Duffin back.

- Jeremy.

Hey, little Donny. This is gonna be fun.

What a very productive week

this is gonna be.

Yep. Everything's coming together.

You gotta help me.

It took him, that thing.

- It took my little Donny.

- Who did?

- That thing took him!

- Which way?

- Which way? Which way? Which way?

- He went over that way. Please.

Please, he took Donny. He took Donny.

I'm gonna find him,

I'm gonna find that son of a b*tch

- and I'm gonna f***ing kill him myself!

- Okay, we're gonna go down.

- Please, you have to find him.

- Let's go in the house.

Jeremy, where are you going?

- What'd you find?

- It's Heather's, Gil.

Are you sure?

Yeah, it's the one she had when she

went missing that day, when he took her.

- Doesn't surprise me, doesn't surprise me.

- What do you mean?

We found some other stuff of hers.

A cellphone, slippers.

- I don't understand.

- She's the only body we didn't find.

- What?

- She could still be alive.

What are you saying?

You think she's alive?

I hope so.

God.

- I gotta find him.

- We'll find him.

You aren't going to believe

who I just saw.

Who?

- Well, spit it out, TJ.

- Jeremy Duffin.

- Where?

- At the police station.

I was driving through town,

I saw some commotion,

decided to check it out.

- Did they see you?

- Absolutely not.

- Wait, who is Jeremy Duffin?

- Jeremy is the pig that killed his brother.

He's probably back

because of all the missing kids.

Yeah, no doubt.

What do the missing kids

have to do with anything?

This former cop believes that there's

some kind of monster taking the children.

Whatever, I could give a sh*t.

Are you okay?

My brother Brian, God rest his soul,

had an unfortunate encounter

with Officer Jeremy Duffin.

He's the cop that put him away.

Somehow, while he was out on parole,

my brother ended up at this cop's house,

and the cop shot him dead.

He claimed self-defense,

and that was the end of it. Case closed.

Well...

Well, I want payback.

I want his punk-ass to suffer.

I want his death to be slow and painful.

But the timing has to be just right.

It's an advantage having him here.

Means there'll be more open space

for us to do our work in.

- Who was he with?

- The police captain,

- and that other guy, the old bartender.

- Harry.

10 to one they'll end up at the bar

across the street from Harry's old place.

That's where all the cops hang out now.

Go check things out.

Take Trevor and Natasha with you.

- Do you want us to get Jeremy?

- If possible.

Otherwise, figure out a way to lure him.

And take him where?

Some place secluded.

I wanna have a serious heart-to-heart

with that son of a b*tch,

and not worry about cops showing up.

The old Kelly house off of 322.

I don't think anybody's

been there in years.

- Great idea.

- The hunt is on.

- Alive, I want him alive!

- You got it.

- TJ.

- Sir?

I'm putting you in charge of this.

Don't f*** it up.

And make sure my girl stays safe, capiche?

Understood.

Jeremy Duffin, the police officer

whose wife was murdered

and daughter went missing

almost five years ago today.

We will have more on the story...

Hey!

- Hey.

- What?

We got a job to do.

You're being reckless.

You're leaving yourself too exposed.

This list...

see this sh*t here?

This little Adam Fillabon?

Yes.

He beat up a kid over his lunch money.

I know it's not

all that big of a deal, but, still.

He needs to be punished.

You're right.

He also kicked a dog.

You know how I feel about animals.

I know.

There's a lot of other kids, too,

and not just here.

We got a lot of ground to cover,

and a little bit of time.

This place...

this place harbors some sh*t, doesn't it?

Yes.

I don't want you to be mad

about this Duffin thing.

We'll get to him when we get time.

Do you understand?

No more of this rogue sh*t.

Yes.

These two little shits come first.

And I hate to tell you, there's a lot

of kids that need punished around here.

Why do ya think we're

in this sh*t weather so early?

I'd much rather be in the Caribbean.

I understand.

- How's the girl, is she okay?

- Yes.

She's gonna be good for us.

She's gonna help us out in the long run.

Now get your horns on straight.

Let's get ahead of the game here.

Get ahead of schedule.

That way we can take care of Duffin.

Yes, we will.

- Gil.

- Yeah?

You really think

there's a chance she's alive?

Well, we never found the body.

So there's always hope.

It's just been driving me crazy

all these years.

- Looking for a body, never finding her body.

- I'm sure, turn left here.

After five years, I just...

I just don't understand how...

how that could be possible.

That bracelet.

That bracelet looked new.

That bracelet didn't look old.

If that bracelet was out there

for 5 years, it would've been tarnished,

- it would've been...

- That doesn't make any sense.

- That bracelet...

- It's her bracelet, Gil.

I know.

He's got her. I've gotta find her.

We'll find her.

- All right, Gil.

- All right, partner.

- We'll meet back at the bar.

- Yep. All right, thanks, Gil.

All right.

- Hey, kid.

- Yeah?

You ready to come back to society?

Thanks.

Heather...

if you're alive, I'll find you.

- Poor lady.

- Amy?

But we can't have another Amy, okay?

I'm a mom, I know exactly how she feels.

I'm starting to think that this thing's

tracking everybody that either has a child

on the police force or knows

somebody in the police force.

It's tracking the whole town.

And that's all that's happening.

We gotta put an end to it.

Donny's gotta be the last kid.

Well, there's only one way

to find anything out.

- What?

- With this Golden Boy.

- Hey, guys, how's it going?

- Look at you, I remember you.

- That's the Jeremy I remember.

- It's good to be back.

- It's good to have you back

- Yeah, thanks, man.

Hey, let me get you a drink.

- What would you like?

- Whisky on the rocks.

Thanks, Monk. Come on, sit down.

- Hey, where's Gil?

- Oh, he dropped me off at the hotel

and, uh, had to go back and talk

to the woman with the missing kid.
