Little Accidents Page #2

Why you walking funny? You gotta pee?

I think so.

You can't hold it?

Come on, this way.

Hurry up.

Come on.

Go back here to this tree.

Go pee.

You and your retard

brother are still here?

You're an a**hole.

Why don't you speak

up? I didn't hear you.

I hope your dad goes to

jail for killing 10 miners.

What'd you say?

Hope he rots in there for what he did.

My dad had nothing to do with that.

You're f***ing trailer trash, and

you people are f***ing milking it.

Hey!

I'm gonna beat your f***in' head in!

Oh!

JT?

JT?

JT?

James?

James?

James?

Don't watch.

What are you doing? Stay there.

Don't move.

If you tell anybody,

I'm gonna be mad, okay?

- Okay.

- Okay, come on.

Come on.

Come on, we gotta go, come on.

James, come on, we gotta go.

Come on.

Hello.

Hey, Sandy, hi, I'm

trying to track down JT.

Were they all going to Katie's?

Isn't he home yet?

Yeah, he's... He's not. -No?

No, I called his phone a million times.

Oh, no.

Yeah.

Oh, no. I'm sure it's nothing.

All right.

Yeah, I will. I'll let

you know. All right. Bye.

Hi, this is Bill,

please leave a message.

Bill, please call me when you get this.

Go on and brush your

teeth, James, it's 9:00.

What's wrong? I want dessert.

You can have an ice cream

sandwich, and that's it.

and get ready for bed, all right, buddy?

You want some?

No, I'm not hungry.

Here you go.

You guys gotta get back to

going to bed at a decent hour.

It's gonna be a rude

awakening on Monday.

You better be good.

Now, we're gonna need your okay to

get the word out to the community.

And we still have the

phone going to voice mail?

Yeah, he's not picking up.

Now, Mrs. Doyle, you answered a

number of questions last night,

but I'd like to fill a few holes

for myself, so bear with me.

Does JT have lots of friends?

Yeah, he's a very social kid.

He's got lots of activities,

football, baseball.

Baseball. Mmm-hmm.

Would you say he's a happy

kid? Yeah, I'd say so.

He was real frazzled yesterday,

you know, someone broke my windshield.

I'm sorry?

Yesterday morning, somebody

smashed up my windshield.

Well, would anyone be trying to

hurt the family for a work reason,

something in response to the accident?

Well, I can't even imagine that.

Do you have a sense of the

miners that work for you?

Any of them strange,

violent, resentful of you?

Have they expressed

any threats? -No. No.

Excuse me.

She doesn't wanna think that

this could involve foul play.

Can't it be that we're just

making a bigger deal out of this,

that he's just goofing off,

you know, with a friend of his?

Was there any joking

around in the woods,

like, being rowdy?

Just normal stuff. Talking, laughing.

Anybody fighting?

No, just goofing around.

The other boys said

that you brought beer.

Yeah.

No, there was some whiskey, too.

So after the guys left, did

you ever see JT come back

down that main path?

No.

But the boys told me that he went

back to get the bottle of whiskey.

So you must have seen him, right?

I didn't see him. I

guess I was already gone.

Is there something that

you're not telling me?

No, sir.

Everybody, let's welcome Amos back.

Thank you very much.

We have a little surprise for you.

No.

You should take what's leftover.

- Oh!

- Yeah.

Thank you. My dad might appreciate it.

How you been doing

these past few months?

All right.

Things got pretty ugly around here.

It's good you missed it.

Yeah.

Well, if you ever need anything,

or you wanna see a movie

sometime, just let me know.

I can't do that anymore. I

can hardly move and stuff.

I didn't mean it like that.

I guess I just don't feel

like my old self yet, Nell.

Well, I guess it's gonna take some time.

Nice seeing you, Amos.

So you're saying that

you never saw Bill Doyle

or any other individual in

management disable a monitor?

Please answer the question.

I say no.

I never saw nothing

regarding the monitor.

Okay.

Well, I'd like to ask you now

about the issue of coal dust.

Do you remember hearing

about an incident in which

Junior Briggs had an

argument with Bill Doyle?

Junior warned him he personally felt

uncomfortable going in the mines

with that level of dust.

Can't say I remember that.

Now, do you remember

hearing a story in which

Bill Doyle then reprimanded

or threatened Junior

for warning other workers

about the coal dust?

My memory's bad with this stuff.

Well, if we gave you a little time,

do you think you could try to recall

any facts about the alleged incident,

one way or the other?

Yeah.

Yeah, I could try,

but I can't guarantee it.

I wouldn't be too hard

on myself, if I was you.

I never could make a fuss.

I had a family to support.

All you got was a bump on the head.

Don't be comparing us.

What is that?

I got that when you was in the hospital.

It goes real good with them cigarettes.

What's going on out there?

Ah, they're looking for that Doyle boy.

I'm gonna get me some air.

You don't have to give

speeches and thank everybody.

The police can do that.

The police have a job to do.

I just don't think you

need to play boss today.

Diana, I just don't know what to do.

I feel like I'm in a foreign country.

Who's that?

Amos?

Bill Doyle. Bill.

Thank you so much for coming out here.

It sure means a lot to me.

Well, I'd like to help

you out any way I can.

Real sorry to hear about this for you.

I bet you got journalists and

newspapers chasing after you now, huh?

You're a real hero here.

Well, I don't know about that.

Well, anyways, it's good

to see you on your two feet.

Slow and steady with

that cane now, you hear?

Yes, sir.

Bill, I... I was thinking.

If you need anything,

we run a Bible study

at the church every Tuesday.

I don't count on God

for much these days,

if you know what I mean.

Yeah, I get it. I get that, boss.

- Well, you take care now.

- Yes, sir.

Amos Jenkins just invited

me to Bible study at church.

Oh, that's who that is.

No developments in the case of JT Doyle,

the Stinton teen who went missing

on the afternoon of August 27th.

A month-long police search has failed

to find any trace of the 15-year old,

and investigators are still

not saying if they have

a person of interest at this time.

His parents Bill and

Diana Doyle have made

an emotional plea to the community.

If you have any information,

please contact Crime Stoppers.

Amos Jenkins, how you doing, pal?

Hey. Part-time. How's it going, man?

- How you doing?

- Listen, I'm gonna take off.

- Okay, be careful.

- All right.

- Good morning, Gus.

- How are you?

Well, do you got enough bolting

men for the morning shift?

What do you mean?

I'd like to do a little something, Gus.

I can't let you go in the mine.

You have to be

re-certified, re-trained.

Gus, I ain't looking for a handout now.

I just... You can't put me underground?

Can you use a computer?

Maybe I can put you in

the dispatcher's office,

or the hoist house, or something.

I ain't the best,
