on the Enumclaw Plateau.
It's a beautiful area, as you can see.
There are a lot of farms, a lot of people
that love to have animals on these farms,
and a great place to raise children.
I could never believe that an animal
would do this on their own.
We don't allow adults
Children cannot consent.
Children are innocent, and so are animals.
They cannot consent, and they're innocent.
Mrs. Edwards.
Happy Horseman:
This is a nice little town.
It's not the big city.
You don't have to deal with
the hustle, the bustle, and the crime rate.
Mostly you see in the paper,
somebody's trashcan gets knocked over,
or the drunk next-door neighbour comes over
It was not a town
that had a whole lot going on in it.
It was quiet.
There was a couple
Chinese food restaurants.
There was a Mexican food restaurant
we'd go to quite a bit.
Quite a few different places to go eat at.
You know,
we're not isolated out there.
but you're not, you know,
dropped in the
middle of nowhere.
H:
Him and his ex-wife got along really well.
He talked to her
on the phone all the time.
She seemed like a nice girl.
Since the divorce, they had gotten
to be best of friends.
They were still friends
up until the day he died.
Happy Horseman:
The type of work he did was basically top secret.
H:
I knew what he did.
I knew exactly what he did
and how he went about doing it,
but... It was just
something that we'd discuss
that was never to be talked about.
Happy Horseman:
I think at one time he was very conservative.
After a while things started changing.
Things started opening
up in front of him.
He was going, "you know,
this really doesn't seem right to me.
Something about this
just is... Kind of wrong."
H:
I had a, uh, apple tree...
Fir tree and a weeping willow.
And otherwise
it was all open pasture, all open field.
Happy Horseman:
Occasionally, there'd be some discussion
on some constitutional issues
of basic freedoms
being usurped by certain political parties
who thought that they needed
to control the morality of the world,
and they didn't care
exactly how they got to do it.
H:
When it'd come to work, he was all business.
When he'd come out to the farm,
he was a completely different person.
He'd be relaxed.
He was comfortable.
Jenny:
They were here during that time
for the son to visit his father.
Woman:
[ On P.A. ]Flight number 324 to Seattle will be leaving gate 26A...
Jenny:
You know, here they had come all this way
to have this sort of
normal family vacation.
About halfway through their vacation...
The death happened.
H:
I called him at work
and I said, "are you
going to come out tonight?"
He goes, "no, but I'll
be out next weekend".
I said, "oh, no, you
gotta come out tonight.
There's somebody
here that wants to meet you."
And we argued a little bit over the phone,
and I finally got him to come out.
Well, that was my downfall.
Just irritates me thinking about it.
Turn this thing off... Please.
Happy Horseman:
You're connecting with another intelligent being
who is very happy to...
Participate, be involved.
You're not going to be able
to ask it about the latest Madonna album.
It has no idea what Tolstoy is, or Keats.
You can't discuss the difference
between Monet and Picasso.
It just doesn't exist for their world.
It's a simpler, very plain world.
And for those few moments,
you kind of can get disconnected.
It's a very intense,
wonderful kind of feeling.
I don't think anything
really can kind of compare to it.
There's no pain.
At no time, in any way, shape or form,
has anybody forced,
coerced, drugs, ropes, whatever.
There's no bondage
or anything like that involved in any of this,
Because these are...
These are your friends.
[ Door slams shut ]
I had...
Submitted a...
uh, which I didn't get and...
After that, I forgot all about it.
And then about two months later,
I received a e-mail
letting me know that the director had...
Saved my pictures
that I had submitted
and was interested in meeting with me
for the role of cop #1
for a movie, and that's all I knew.
[ Chuckling ]
I met with Rob the next day, and, uh,
I was frantically looking for a place to park,
and I was real...
I was becoming later and later
and I was stressed out, and finally...
I just parked in a,
um, a loading zone,
and I ran down to the...
To where I was supposed to meet Rob, and...
And just let him know.
And he said, "well, um...
Just go back to your car
and I'll meet you over there."
So I went over there
and stood by my car,
and we started chatting about...
About the movie.
And at that time,
he told me what the
movie was about and...
You know, I was...
It didn't faze me because...
I have, um...
I've seen the best of humanity
and I've also seen
the darkest parts of humanity.
The summer prior to this incident,
I was in a softball
tournament in Enumclaw,
and I had a...
A guy on the opposing team
injured himself in the outfield,
and I actually helped him onto the stretcher
that took him to the very same hospital
where this man died.
And, you know,
that hits kind of close to home.
The cold, harsh, brutal reality
is a man bled to death, okay?
And as I researched my role
and revisited some articles that
I had read a year prior,
and also some new information,
you know, I...
I thought about...
I thought about what was going
through this man's mind
as he was bleeding to death.
And how did he find himself
in this place at this time?
And, uh...
You know, I had the experience
of holding a corpse in my hands
that was a few minutes before
a seven-year-old boy
that had drowned in a swimming pool,
and his last breath was...
Frozen in time on his face.
And his... His eyes were fixed,
and I could see
right down into his mouth,
and it was ghostly white, and it...
At that moment, when I was staring
and looking into
the depths of death,
all's I saw was
my own reflection.
And... To be there
at that moment in time,
during that tragedy,
[ Sighing ]
for a little boy that could not be revived,
and ended up dying on Mother's Day,
you know, that...
That's embossed in my heart.
And... And it's... It...
When someone dies, it's...
It's something that I...
I take to heart
because there's nothing trivial about it.
There's people that...
That love that individual,
and they will never see them again.
And that's a tragedy.
[ Helicopter whirring ]
Happy Horseman:
We knew it was going to happen.
But we didn't know when.
