- Here we go.

- No, no, no, no.

[screams]

[Jake] He just said

he would tell.

[Daniel] What, this is the kind

of guy you want to take easy on?

[screams]

[all laughing and cheering]

You were saying, huh?

Something about telling?

Did you want help?

Right there.

I want to get out of here.

Do you...

I've got kids at...

I am serious.

I just watch them a little.

They didn't know nothing.

Just thought it was play time.

I am sorry.

I was young.

[Evan] You f***ing

piece of sh*t.

[man] They were young,

you f***.

[Evan] I know that

was difficult for you.

Purging yourself

off all that filth.

All that filth you spread,

you're just gonna keep

it in your head, could you?

Well, I tell you what.

All that filth you spread,

I think that's

where it belongs.

Inside of you.

We're gonna

help you with that.

Aren't we, boys?

[men laughing]

[man] You were wondering

what that smell is?

[Jake] What the f*** is that?

What are you guys doing?

[man] Well, his mind's

in the gutter,

we figure why shouldn't

his body be.

No, no, no, you have his confession on

film, okay? You don't need to do this.

Take him to the police.

Have them deal with it.

[man] We are just

filming his confession.

[Evan] This guy is a sick f***.

You saw it for yourself.

Give this guy

some refreshment.

[man] My pleasure.

[screams]

Get it down.

Get it down there.

Get it down there.

[men chanting]

Chug! Chug! Chug!

[cheering and laughing]

[Jake] Stop!

Stop!

[Evan] You got

a f***ing problem?

[coughing]

This is just torture

for torture's sake.

[Evan] Don't you get

the f***ing point here, huh?

Who are you protecting

right now? Nobody.

Who is this guy giving

up right now? Nobody.

[Evan] We can make him

an example.

You do whatever you want,

all right?

I'm not gonna be a part

of this anymore.

Hey! You think we're gonna

let you walk out of here?

With everything you've seen?

[Daniel] I told you

he wasn't right for this.

This isn't right for anybody.

You talk about guys like this

getting off of something sick,

you're no different.

You think real change happens when

you sit back and lecture about it?

No! It happens when you

set a new standard.

An extreme message yields

extreme results.

Set the standard.

Send the message.

That's what I thought.

Maybe you are right.

Maybe we should let him

sit in his own filth,

I mean look at this

f***ing guy.

What do you think?

I said what do you...

What the f*** are you doing?

- Get after him.

- [man] Come on, let's go.

[engine revving]

[cell phone vibrating]

[gasps]

[instrumental music playing]

[cell phone vibrating]

What the f***.

[woman chattering in distance]

F*** you, F*** you. Go back...

[indistinct chatter]

Help you?

Yeah. A room.

What you thinking, one?

Two?

Hours. How many you need?

A whole night.

Okay.

Hey, are you alone?

- Yeah.

- Hey, if you...

want me to introduce

you to some friends,

I could send a girl

your way.

Or a guy.

Just the room. Thanks.

Hey, do I know you?

I swear I've seen

your face before.

No.

Hey, if you want, I'll introduce

you to my friend Molly.

If you want a little line,

just tell me.

F*** you, prude.

Just trying to make some cash.

[man] If you can just

get out of my way

and let me get do my f***ing

job, that would be great.

[Keller] I think

maybe you're with him.

I think that's explanation for so many

hookers coming in and out of here.

[man] No, the explanation

is, because this is a hotel.

Because all I am doing

is checking people in...

[Keller] On an hourly

rate maybe.

- [man] Who cares?

- Listen, no more meth,

hookers, or crack heads,

all right?

You're wearing me out.

Officer, Officer, wait,

wait, look.

Okay, this is gonna

sound crazy,

but I need to report

the kidnapping

of three child pornographers.

Wait, let's go back

to the beginning.

You want to report

a child pornography, right?

No, no, no. I need to report

the kidnapping

of three child pornographers.

You know the guys

that are doing it,

T-t-the Pioneers,

the group of guys that are

going after the criminals?

They are coming after me now.

What'd you do?

I didn't do anything.

Probably be easy to smooth

this out if you...

wanna come down

to the station with me.

No, no, I can't go anywhere

near a police station, okay?

They threatened me

if I went to anyone.

You sure it's the only reason you

wouldn't feel safe in a police station?

What, you think I didn't

recognize you?

You're the flavor

of the month.

I doubt there's a station

anywhere that doesn't

have your picture hanging

on a dartboard.

Now, just wait a second,

I wanna get this straight.

So you go out in the web

with a call of action

for the men and women

of this fine country

to rise up and take the law

into their own hands.

And now that these pioneers

have actually done so,

you wanna report them

to the very people

you set out to criticize.

What's the matter,

they stealing your thunder?

I watched these guys

rip the tooth out

of a man's head.

Child pornographer?

Well, just judging

from the fact

that you got three

of my buddies fired,

for not having in your words,

"The balls to do what

needs to be done,"

that I'm just a little surprised

that you're so dedicated

in protecting

these types of folks.

What are their names?

The guys in the masks.

What are their names?

The main guy,

his name is Evan.

Last name?

Do you know any of the others?

Do you know any

of those names?

Where any of them live?

Everybody was in masks,

okay? I don't know.

I can show you something.

T-t-the house.

Where they took him, what

happened, I could show you that.

This is it?

Yeah, I'm positive.

Thought you said

it was empty.

None of this was here.

There was a "For sale" sign.

- [knocking at door]

- No hammock.

Uh-huh.

[doorbell ringing]

[man] Coming. Coming.

- Hi, can I help you?

- I am Officer Keller.

Mind if I ask you

a few questions?

No.

I'm sorry to bother you, sir,

but you mind telling me

if you moved in here recently?

I've been here four years

almost.

Four years.

Well, is the house

up for sale,

on the market?

- No.

- Hey, is that Luke?

Hold on.

Um, I'm sorry, is there anything that

I can help you with, in particular?

Well, there's been some reports of

vagrant squads in empty houses,

and your neighbor here

thought he saw few of them

coming out

of your property.

Really?

Tell you what?

What about loud noises,

you hear any last night?

Around 2:
00 a.m., screaming,

something like that.

No, I was in bed by 11:00

and I am pretty sure screaming

would've woken me up.

I'm sorry, you saw people

coming out of where?

Oh, nowhere exactly.

I mean, they're staying low.

Not at sight.

Basements, garages.

You... You got

a garage back there?

Okay, look, he's lying.

Okay? Everything...

These guys have

a lot of talent.

No. No, look,

look, okay, everything...

They must've used the place

without them knowing.
