Son...

I told you.

We had a fight, he got lost.

Unfortunately I

don't believe you.

You're under arrest.

And just so you know,

Sharkey and his crew

won't be going out tomorrow.

And that's all on you.

Come on.

Stand right there.

Empty your pockets.

Trespassing at the dry docks.

That was two weeks ago.

Belt.

We've been busy.

Keys.

What about your daughter?

Are you gonna book her

for stealing my diary?

This way.

We'll hold you here

til Monday and then

the judge will set bail.

Lauren?

Today's paper.

This has been a difficult time.

While I still hold out

hope that miles will be

found, it's been eight days

now and I'm preparing for the

worst which is the possibility

that I've lost two...

That I've lost two people

that meant the world to me.

Did you know about the diary?

No.

Are you and Liam west

having an affair?

No comment.

Do you think that Liam

west killed his brother?

Look she said no comment.

Do you think that

miles is still alive?

Of course he is.

More.

Two more please.

Ross down the corner.

Back of the line Lorenz.

Okay, Joe bright.

Just...

Thank you.

Keep to yourself now.

- You do that.

- Thank you.

I'll take top bunk.

If miles didn't owe me three

grand, I'd break your neck...

What?

You killed my man, motherf***er.

How am I gonna collect, huh?

When they find him...

He's no good to me in a

body bag, motherf***er.

You killed him.

You gonna pay.

I don't have any money.

You don't have no money?

You don't have no money?

You got money.

You've got some money.

You've got money.

Hey, I got money

for you, Joe bright.

I'm gonna get it for you.

I'm sorry I'm being an a**hole.

That's good, Liam.

That's real good.

Yes, you are an a**hole.

Yeah, you going to be

pissing blood from that one.

Stand up.

And you're gonna sh*t blood.

It's a b*tch when there

ain't no money, isn't it?

It's a b*tch when

you lose your job.

My mom was trying to help you.

It's not her fault you got

caught selling blow to

tourists on her boat.

Bradley!

Help!

Help!

Joe, Joe, Joe!

I don't care.

I'll get your money.

I'll pay you more.

You gonna pay me more, huh?

- Of course! Listen!

- What?

He's coming back.

We're gonna be rich.

- You're gonna be rich?

- It's a hoax.

Pardon me.

It's a hoax.

Hey!

What's going on?

Missed an exciting game.

We got money on it.

We don't have money on it.

Lights out, gentlemen.

When's he due back?

Sunday.

Yeah.

I'm gonna take a nap.

Liam.

How you doing?

I'm okay.

Being on the boat with you

and your mom, those were

good times for me.

I'm sorry for your loss.

Well, Jim says you can go.

Lay off the booze.

Next time you will be charged.

I'll see you in church.

Excuse me.

And so today, miles needs your

prayers now more than ever.

Hope is not lost.

We must all be there

for each other.

Let us pray.

Amen.

Now go in peace to love

and serve the lord.

Sorry.

We need to talk.

As the search for miles

west continues well into

this eleventh day, hope

for finding the young man

alive is decreasing.

In these conditions, the

real dangers are exposure,

hypothermia, and starvation.

Not to mention, the

threat of wildlife.

Come in.

Miles is in trouble.

Well, yeah, it's been ten days.

No, look at him.

He's acting weird.

What are we gonna do?

Let him go.

Let him go?

I got a hunch.

You get right back out there,

I'll take care of him.

You're free to go.

I think you should

just drop me off.

I'm not dropping you off.

You're not going.

What if somebody needs to wait

with him while you go get help?

I'm going.

Come on.

The cave is around

two miles away.

Delta nine, delta one.

Delta nine, go ahead.

I followed them

to the north side.

Get the dogs and the

searches onto the north side,

do you copy?

North side?

Are you sure, north side?

Yes, the north side.

Do you copy?

Copy that.

You tired?

- Liam.

- Lauren.

Liam.

Okay.

Just back up slowly.

Alright, alright.

Okay, come on.

Delta one, delta nine.

Delta one.

I think the tracker dogs

have picked up miles' scent.

Good, ignore Liam and Lauren.

Find miles.

Roger that, chief.

Yeah.

Okay, we're not far now.

Miles!

Miles!

Miles?

F***.

Oh god. He's not here.

He never even made it here.

F***!

He's gone.

What happened to the frame?

Joe bright came looking for

miles and I had to pay him off.

He took your mom's jewelry.

I'm going.

Where?

I'll call you in

a couple of days.

No, we need to work out

what we're gonna say.

You don't say anything.

If they catch me, I'll

leave you out of it.

Please don't go.

I knew we shouldn't

have done it, Lauren.

I know. You did it

because you loved him.

I did it because I loved you.

- Give me the keys.

- Get out of my way.

Just give me the keys, Liam.

Just give me the keys.

Sorry.

I'm okay, I'm okay.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

- You okay?

- Yeah, I'm okay.

- What?

- No, I can't.

What are you doing to me?

Liam?

Yeah.

Oh.

We found him.

What, what? Is he?

Yeah, he's alive.

Put some clothes on.

Let's go.

What the hell?

What the f*** is this?

Dad, I uh...

F***.

F***!

Put some clothes

on, the both of you!

Morning, champ.

Just so you know, you can

drop all the bullshit.

I know it was a hoax.

I was lost.

I was lost.

Lost.

Mhm, yeah, yeah.

I already got that.

Why'd you keep going up?

I mean, if you just kept

walking down, you would

have found a trail

and some signs.

I was angry.

I was...

Okay.

When you're ready to chat,

just give me a call.

He has a torn bicep.

Dehydrated, hypothermic.

Can I see his medical records?

Of course.

He almost died.

What more do you need?

Are you here to

see your boyfriend?

Yeah, are you gonna stop me?

No, no, go right ahead.

Honey, wait up.

Look uh, I need to...

What?

We're gonna need to talk.

You and I.

Okay.

I fell.

I lost my map.

I had to find some shelter.

I tried to go up, I tried

to go down and...

I was lost.

Babe, do you need anything?

He needs to rest now.

Of course.

F***.

Hey, Liam.

Look how fast I scale

this bad boy now.

Let's see how this works.

Okay.

Okay.

Where's the sun?

The damn sun never

gets high enough here.

Is that it?

Or is that it?

Seems like a good shelter.

It's nothing.

I can't climb.

I almost feel bad for him.

I haven't eaten in two days.

Ah, f***.

Campfire cooking with miles.

Definitely prefer chicken.

Holy sh*t.

Holy sh*t.

Holy sh*t.

So what I'm thinking right

now is that I'll come up

over this little

hill right here.

This will take me to the

side of the mountain.

But I don't know.

You've seen how my luck's been.

And there's white snow.

That sun is gonna set.

It reminds me of you.

When we first met on the boat.

Remember that?

I really f***ed it up, Liam.

I don't know why I ever

treated you the way I did.

I just want you to

know I love you.

Because I don't know if

I'm gonna make it back.

Tracy?

Honey, is that you?

It's me, dad.

What, is it mom?

No, no, she's fine.
