00:00Dear friend, I'm still being held against my will.
00:04What do you expect of me?
00:05I expect you to do your job.
00:07I thought my job was just sitting on the side of the road.
00:10Until something more important comes along like kidnapping.
00:13What's the going rate for a half-page ad in the Sunday edition?
00:17What's the headline?
00:19Sheriff ignores possible kidnapping.
00:23These pictures were leaked on the popular True Crime forum.
00:28The exact same website where you published your expose on.
00:32Now, are you going to sit there and tell me you had nothing to do with this?
00:35I met one of the Feds this afternoon.
00:38He told me, and I did what any married man would do.
00:42I backed my wife.
00:44Imagine if you'd backed me from the start.
00:46So you blast my name in the press before an election year.
00:50It could have been her, David.
00:52It could have been our little girl.
00:54And right now, some other little girl could be sitting in that cell.
00:58I couldn't just ignore this.
01:00You didn't have to burn my family name in the process.
01:03You don't even regret it.
01:05If I hadn't done it, maybe we wouldn't have a chance to catch him.
01:10Would you mind telling me why our daughter is on the front page of a tabloid?
01:13Don't stand on your high horse.
01:15You let that Fed threaten Grace just to pressure me to stand down.
01:18Dear friend, please find me.
01:22Please free me.
01:24Because there's a monster who comes at night.
01:30And night never ends in this place.
