think about her.. Or him.

Yeah, but he got away.

Look, Cindy, Hansen won't.

You gotta trust me.

I promise, okay?

I promise, nothing's

going to happen to you.

For what we are about to receive,

May the lord make us

truly grateful. Amen.

Amen.

Pa wanted to know when we could

take the kids back down again.

They were thinking maybe Thanksgiving?

Thanksgiving we have the

staff dinner, remember?

I just thought, um..

You know,

Debbie was gonna bring

her baby down again..

I'm sorry.

Hello? You bet.

- I've gotta go out. Go to work.

- Okay.

Thanksgiving here!

And you didn't

ask me if it would be all right?

I didn't think it could be wrong.

- She'll be leaving in the morning.

- She's not your problem!

What about your own daughter?

Because this is our home

- And she shouldn't be here.

- I had no choice.

Where else is she supposed to go?

It's only one night.

Jack, you always have a choice, okay?

She's not your problem.

- She's not your responsibility.

- I don't think that's fair, Allie.

And I'm taking that other job

to get us away from all this.

Oh right!

What's going on with that?

Jerry called. He told me you still

haven't signed those papers.

I quit my job!

Okay? We're in the middle of this mess,

Leaving our home.

This is not a halfway house.

Come on, Allie, that's not right.

If she was our kid, you'd be

raising fires all over town.

No no, she's not.

She's not our kid!

Well, she's someone's. And no one

cares and this guy knows it.

And if that doesn't change,

what hope have they got?

I care, Jack.

- I care about our family.

- Please, just quiet.

And don't you dare make

me wrong because of it!

- Allie, I'm not making you wrong.

- I'm sorry.. no no.

You have to get her out!

Sh*t!

Cindy!

Cindy!

Hey, is Clate here?

I'm.. I'm Felisha.

He told me to come by.

Yeah.

So you decided to come

back to your man, huh?

- Clate, I.. I just..

- I ain't got time for this sh*t.

Get your ass back to work.

Let's go.

You're not supposed to be here.

You're supposed to be on the

other side of the street.

The bouncer up there

said she came this way.

Have you seen her?

She's 5'2", not very tall.

She was guesting over

at kitty's for Chelle.

- All right. Thank you.

- Thank you.

Hey.

How you doing?

Maybe I'm not making myself clear.

I said do you know this girl?

- Should I?

- Don't f*** with me. You gave her a job.

You tell me where she is! You back up!

Back up now!

Well, f*** you.

I don't work here.

A lot of girls, they come through here.

They're called Cindy

or Tammy or some sh*t.

- F***ing hos without a clue.

- Oh really?

Well, this one does have

a clue and come tomorrow

You're not gonna know what to call 'em,

'cause I'm getting this

whole shithole shut down!

All right?

So start packing!

Lou!

You motherf***er!

You know, you oughta transfer down here.

Where would she go?

Anywhere if she needed money.

Have you seen this girl?

- Do you know her?

- Huh-uh.

F***.

Have you seen her?

Who the f*** are you? You're

not allowed back here!

Cindy! Cindy!

- What is she on? What'd you give to her?

- She's not my type.

I'll give you two some privacy.

It's okay. It's okay.

You're safe now.

It's okay.

Is she your mom?

Yeah.

She was 15 when

she had me so they..

They told me she was my sister.

It's Leslie's house.

Her uncle did stuff to me

For.. Years.

Really bad stuff.

Why didn't..?

Did you know your father?

I used to pretend that he was in the Navy.

That's why he couldn't come see me.

It's so lame.

You know, I didn't mean

to cause you no trouble.

That's okay.

Try and get some rest.

You know,

all my life since..

Since I was

real young I just..

I really wanted a chance

to believe someone.

You know, like when they say that

Everything is gonna be okay,

That they were actually telling the truth.

That's okay to ask, isn't it?

Yeah.

It sure is.

So, man, long time no f***ing see.

Yeah.

You must really want

that piece of p*ssy bad,

You come find me.

Who is she?

I'll find her.

Cost ya 10.

I'll let you know when it's done.

I'll be right back.

Oooh!

What the f***, man?

It's cold out here, man. Let's

get in with the b*tches.

What the f***, man?

What are we going to

do with you, boy? Huh?

Come on, man.

We had a deal.

You owe some friends of

mine a lot of money.

- I'm gonna get it for 'em, I swear!

- That's not what I hear.

- I hear you speak sh*t about them.

- No!

You wanna make this go away?

Where's that sweet little

b*tch I saw you with?

You f***ing find her and bring

her to me and we're even, okay?

I'll get her for 'em.

I'll do whatever you need!

You got two days to hand her to me.

That's it.

Now get the f*** outta here.

Wake me if anything happens.

Button up the coat.

Hey!

Hey, Jack, heads up.

Hey, pal, come with me.

Yeah, there's no way in

hell he's going up in this.

Tell the control tower to stall

him if he tries to take off.

All right.

That f***ing son of a b*tch is crazy.

Tower says he's headed

northeast past knik,

- But hell, he could be going anywhere.

- He's gonna dump it all.

F***!

- Bang bang, right, dad?

- Yeah, that's what we do.

Hey, now listen, you keep

an eye on the plane.

You don't want people coming out here

and stealing all our gear, do you?

Any news?

Yeah, he landed an hour ago.

Went straight home.

You might want to get back here.

Yeah, it just came through.

You know, that profile thing?

You're not gonna believe this.

- Well, afternoon, gentlemen.

- Afternoon.

You know Frank rothschild.

I asked him to join us.

- I hope you've got something new.

- Legal affidavit

And search warrant request

that covers Hansen's history,

Lists items we expect to

find in his home, his work,

His vehicles, including his plane.

From the FBI's new profiling team.

They say we're looking for

a white male, early 40s,

Average height, respected

member of the community,

Wife probably very religious

And not totally aware of what he's up to,

History of theft, sexual

assault, probably stutters.

Also expert outdoorsman and avid hunter.

That's Hansen.

This is all secondhand information.

I need physical evidence.

These guys aren't even proven yet.

Hell, the FBI can't work

out if they're for real.

I have testimony from another

victim who escaped in '79,

And a witness who has seen Hansen's

stolen trophy heads back in his den.

We have Cindy Paulson and everything

I had last time still checks out.

Who wrote this?

Pat Doogan, Assistant

Dstrict Attorney Fairbanks.

He flew down yesterday,

worked through the night.

- You behind this, Bob?

- And the colonel.

So you still want to search

for insurance fraud,

Use that warrant to get him on murder?

That washes out,

Gets thrown out of court, then what?

Every way we turn it all

leads back to Hansen.

Now I'm not gonna tell

you how to do your job,

But if you don't start doing something,

You'll be the one held

responsible for these,
