Wh... Where is... Where is...

Oh, Jesus Christ.

Wh-Where is...

L-Lonnie? Where's Sean?

In the house. In the house.

Right over here.

Don't stop here, guys.

Keep movin' all the way through.

- Clear the doorway here, okay?

- The boy's in there.

- All right, here comes the boy's father.

Sean? Sean?

I'm... I'm the father.

Sean?

- Who is it?

- Sean. It's me. It's Daddy.

Daddy?

Is he... Is he all right?

C-Can I pick him up?

- Can I hold him?

- Oh, he's gonna be all right.

- Oh, Sean.

He's just got a nasty cut on his hand,

and he's, uh, a little dehydrated.

- Sean, it's Mommy.

- You're okay, buddy.

You're okay. We got ya.

- We got ya now.

- Hi, Mom.

- Hi, sweetheart.

- You're okay.

- Take me home, okay?

- Oh, sure. Sure.

- Take me home.

- Okay, honey.

- I love you, Sean.

- Me too.

Mama's here, Sean.

You're okay.

- Is-Is-Is-Is he seriously injured?

- Here's your man. He's right over there.

He's gonna be okay.

Step to the side, please.

- All the way to the right.

- Lieutenant, we...

- All the way back. Get back.

- Back off.

- Mr Shaker?

- Step back, please.

Step back. Step back.

Did you get a chance

to talk to him?

- I said step back.

- Thank you.

- Call it justice.

It's a department courtesy.

- All right, now, if you please.

- Move. Move.

- Guys, help us out, will ya?

- Thank you.

Ho, ho, ho, ho!

Tom. Tom? Just come this way.

What... What... Mr Mullen!

You know her?

Yeah.

I do.

Jesus Christ. I mean,

Catering.

Please, sir! Here!

- Mr Mullen, this way!

- Mr Mullen, this way!

Wait! This way! Right here!

Right here! Look over here, please!

Not now. Leave 'em alone.

- Sean! Mr Mullen!

- Mr Mullen, this way! Mr Mullen, please!

Aaah! Turn the lights on!

Turn the lights on!

- Hey.

- It's all right.

- I'm afraid of the dark.

I don't like the dark.

- You're all right.

- Leave the light on.

- Yeah, we'll leave 'em on.

We'll leave 'em on all the time.

Okay?

Next thing I know,

one guy starts blastin' away at me.

The... The other guy,

he goes to run me over.

So, you know,

I just did what I had to do.

What about the woman?

Jimmy?

Uh, you know, I just, uh,

got spun around by the bullet.

I didn't know

it was a woman 'til after.

He's a, an honest cop.

He does a hell of a job.

- He's kind of a to-himself

type of a guy.

- No, just one.

- But I tell you what,

when the chips are down...

- Cancel the other one.

This is the one

I'd want with me.

- How do I feel?

- No.

- I'll tell ya, this is

the second time...

- Jimmy Shaker's been shot.

- Just one-way.

He got clipped once before in 1992,

and this guy keeps coming back.

Yeah. Uh, Mr Kinney.

Yeah. Thanks.

Continuing our coverage

of the Mullen kidnapping case...

questions still surround

Maris Conner.

With no prior criminal record,

authorities are interrogating

family and friends...

seeking any associations that would

connect her to the other slain suspects.

Sources reveal today that

the investigation continues...

and the search for

other suspects is by no means over.

Many investigators believe that,

indeed, the mastermind

of the Mullen kidnapping...

may still be at large.

- Whoa!

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

- We can make it.

- Oh, sh...

- Ohh!

- You cold, honey?

- Yeah. My hands.

- Do you wanna go home?

- I didn't bring my gloves.

- No. No. No.

You sure? Hey, you're squinting a

little. Is the sun still bothering you?

- Put these on.

- Yeah.

- I'll go get your gloves.

- Okay.

You'd better practise.

I'll be back.

Look at me.

You look good in those, honey.

- Look at my glasses. Can you see?

- Mm-hmm.

Look like your daddy

in those.

Well, David, it's a little hard

to focus right now. Can it wait?

No? Well, the hell with it, then.

Let him have it. Let it go.

Yeah. Listen, I got Sean waitin' for me

in the park, so maybe we...

- Hey.

- Hey.

- Hey.

Uh, I'll call you back, David.

Call you back.

- Mr Mullen.

- Uh...

- The doorman just called up.

- Mr Shaker wants to see you.

- Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry

to show up like this.

Oh, hell, no. Come in.

L-I wanna talk to you.

- Thanks.

- Come in. Come in. How's the shoulder?

Ahh, you know. I'll live.

Yeah. Well, I'm surprised

to see you up and about so quick.

- Uh, uh, Fatima,

this is, uh, Jimmy Shaker.

- Hi.

I'm very proud to meet you.

- Very proud.

- Thanks.

How's the, uh, kid doin'?

Oh, he's fine, you know,

all things considered.

- It'll take a while.

- Yeah.

Um, uh, forgive me.

I, uh, I thought

we were gonna meet on Monday.

M-Maybe I screwed up. I don't... l...

Uh, yeah, uh, you're right.

Monday. We... That's what we said, uh...

See the special officer

holding 4-5-9...

Look, I don't want you to get

the wrong impression of me here...

but I was hopin'

we could do this today.

- You know, the reward and all?

- Oh. Of course. Oh, Jesus.

- 'Cause I gotta tell ya...

it's, uh, kinda crazy

around me, you know,

with the, the press and everything.

Oh, I understand. Yeah.

Look, they're maniacs.

- Yeah.

- Nothin' easier. Follow me.

I'm not used to this, you know.

L... I just gotta get outta here.

Kind of a private person,

you know.

To tell you the truth,

I never killed anybody before.

Havin' a hard time with it.

Yeah, well, I'm sorry.

Uh, I'm glad you did

what you did.

But I'm sorry.

- Sit down, please.

- Thanks.

Uh, so, is it, uh...

is it Jimmy? James?

James.

James'll do.

- Can I ask you a personal question?

- Sure.

Why didn't you pay the ransom?

Well, because I was dealing

with human garbage.

No contract would have been honoured,

not by them.

You know, the funny thing is,

I would have paid ten times as much...

if I had any sense that

they'd stick to the deal, but no.

- Really.

- Oh, yeah. Really.

The thing that really kills me

about that is the woman.

She'd been in this house five,

six times over the last year.

Nice. Pleasant. You know.

You just can't, uh...

l-I don't know how people

can walk around with that...

That cold-blooded, two-faced...

That b*tch.

Well, uh, you know,

in fairness to the dead...

we're all a little two-faced

in this day and age.

It's a survival mechanism. You kn...

You know what I'm saying?

I mean, you know, as a cop...

you should hear some of the stuff that's

been thrown my way over the years.

Tom, just forget about the gloves,

honey. He wanted to come home.

- Kate, uh...

- Hi, Tom.

- Mr Shaker's here.

Mr Shaker.

Ohh, um...

God bless you.

Uh, thank you.

- You're welcome.

- Listen, you... you gotta meet Sean.

I'll go get him.

No, uh, he's, you know, had enough.

Let's give him a breather. Yeah?

Yeah, yeah.

He's-He's had enough.

Okay. Uh, can I get you anything?

No, I'm fine.

Oh, well, again, l...

I can't even begin to...

I understand.

Don't mention it.

Okay.

Fatima, would you please help me
