Ben?

Ben!

Ben?

Oh my God.

Ben!

Be", no!

Ben!

[ Muffled 1 No!

Jo!

David, have you

seen your sister?

Mmm, nope.

Seen your mother?

Mmm, nope.

Have you got started

on the garage yet?

Mmm, nope.

Get your butt

outta the chair and

get started on the

garage young man!

I saw that.

The fee for the garage just

went down ten dollars.

I'll get that.

Oh and if you see

your sister tell her

I got her a new

phone I just need

to get her a chip for it.

C'mon!

C'mon.

Are you ok?

I'm sorry I had to tie you up...

but we don't know

each other yet...

and we need to get to

know each other first.

But I have some

really good news.

I have a really...

good surprise for you.

Elliot!

Come here, baby!

Are you ok?

Yea.

You sure?

Did he hurt you?

No.

Ok.

See I told you.

We were gonna have...

a beautiful family.

We're gonna be so

happy together!

All of us.

Yea they... uh... they haven't

heard from Ben since yesterday.

You don't think they could

have taken off together, do you?

No...

She wouldn't just leave her

car at the dock and not tell us.

I don't know what to think.

What are we gonna do?

I'm gonna call the police...

I guess... maybe they can help.

C'mon!

No!

Elliot, I'll be right there!

Elliot stay back from the

door... stay back from the door.

OK?

Elliot! Elliot be brave, ok?

I'll be right back, ok?

I'll be right back,

so you be brave, ok?

Willie, come get me!

Come get me you bastard!

C'mon!

No!

No!

No!

No!

I know it's only

a couple letters

but it's still contact...

from her!

She could be saying hello.

I haven't seen or heard from my

daughter in almost

two days and you

think she's just

saying hello Dad?

It's contact! She got in touch

with me by text message.

Dan, try to stay with me here.

You've got an adult

daughter that's

gone through some

very bad stuff.

Stuff that makes most people

do some very stupid things...

things like running off

with her boyfriend.

No. No, she

would not do that to us,

I'm telling you.

Dan, you wouldn't believe how

many times I've

heard that line...

trust me...

give her some time...

she'll relax...

she'll cool down...

and she'll get in

contact with you.

Or she'll just come home.

Ok?

Sheriff, can you

just this for me...

can you tell me where these text

messages are coming from?

Messages are coming from?

The phone company is not going

to give me that information

but they'll give it to you.

Jo!

Josephina.

What name do you prefer

me to call you...

baby?

I prefer it if you call me Will.

Or maybe William if

you're angry at me.

William you get

back into bed right now!

I'm just being silly.

You would never be mad at me...

Ok... then.

Let me tell you where you are...

You are currently

right smack in the

middle of the Okeefenokee Swamp.

Okeefenokee,

Okees-fenokee, Okeefenokee

Now seriously...

You are surrounded by swamp

water in every direction!

And in that swamp water

is a whole lot of gators!

A whole lot of...

Alligator!

Snapping turtles and a whole lot

of...

Water moccasins.

Not a place I would

wanna be in a pair of...

skimpy shorts and no weapon.

But I must say...

Honey...

You look great in

those shorts...

The only way out...

is through me... Jo.

Oh my!

I almost forgot to tell

you about the spiders...

big nasty wolf spiders...

they like to jump

up at your face!

So cover your eyes if you

see one about to jump!

Yea I'm still here

though I'm still

trying to figure out

if they can tell me

where the texts came from.

As far as they're concerned

she's an adult that left home.

I gotta go, sheriffs here.

Ok.

Her phone was bouncing

off some towers

about forty-five miles

west of here...

just out of Lake City.

The phone company triangulated

the signal down to this area...

we feel that she may

be located in this radius.

Now let's stop playing games...

and just get back home!

Elliot misses you!

I miss you.

If you come back now we'll start

over as if nothing happened.

I'm starting to

get angry now Jo!

I'm starting to

lose my patience!

Jo!

Jo!

Goddammit, answer me!

Fine!

If that's the way you

want it you selfish b*tch!

I guess Elliot and I

mean nothing to you.

If you don't care

about Elliot then

I don't care about him either!

Did you hear me?

You don't care about him...

then I don't care about him.

It's not going to

end well Jo, it's

not going to end

well for anyone!

This is your last chance!

I'll be sure and

tell him that...

it's all because of you!

You deserted him, again!

Alright, alright!

I'll come back.

Honey, there you are.

How do I know you

won't hurt him?

But you have my word.

You're going to have to

do better than that Willie.

Sweetheart...

Please, I'm not your sweetheart!

I know who you are Willie!

You're insane!

I know what you did to Ben...

Well I'm afraid that...

if you can't trust me then I

just don't think things...

What are you doing?

My artwork.

Why?

It's to commemorate your beauty.

Why are you doing this?

It's an expression...

of my love for you.

Why are you doing this to me?

Because I Love you.

Isn't it beautiful?

Yes.

It is.

It's because you're beautiful.

It's kind of hard to breath...

can you take it off so

we can talk a little bit?

Alright I'll take it Off.

But you're not gonna run, right?

You're not gonna try to get

away from me are you?

No.

Ok.

Thank you.

They're beautiful drawings.

Thank you.

Where did you learn to paint?

I've been doing

it my whole life.

I started when I

was a little kid.

Why did you kill Ben?

I killed Ben...

because he kept getting

in the way of us.

And, he didn't respect you...

he didn't care about you...

the way I care about you.

He cheated on you.

Is that the kind of man

you wanna be with?

Alright, that's her.

That's her going to college.

That's her boyfriend Ben.

You sure you haven't

seen either one of them?

Woah! Well...

no offense you being

her daddy and all but...

if a pretty little girl like

that came through here...

I would remember her.

Alright. What about a Jeep?

It's a four by four... yellow,

kind of hard to miss.

Mmm, nope, nope, nope...

not ringing a bell.

You know maybe you

outta call the police.

Well is there any

other place they

would go if they were staying...

or hiding any place around here?

Woah, woah, woah, woah!

Hiding?

You said nothing about hiding...

now you can hide anywhere...

there's abandoned mobile homes,

there's campgrounds...

Hell you can go hide

in the woods...

but...

No.

They wouldn't know

about anything like that.

What do you mean?

You see...

they built this military

style boot camp...

you know for the screw ups...

and those kids that

can't listen to ya...

they closed it down

about a year ago.

See this little

boy got killed...

gouged his eyeballs out...

ripped out his tongue...

you don't need to know

all that now, do ya?

Ok.

I would never do that to you.

I love you.

I've loved you since the...
