- No, not really.

- I'll race you to the gate.

- Okay.

- On your mark, get set, go!

- On your mark, get set, go!

- Hey.

- I'll be right there!

- Can we drop Jessica off?

- Sure. Come on.

How you doing this afternoon?

- Fine.

- Good, thank you.

- Have a good day?

- Yep. Great.

Last call from the kitchen, Julie.

No, thanks. I'm not very hungry.

I'll get some more wood

for the fireplace for you before we go.

Miss Sharon called and

she'll be here in a few minutes.

I'd stay, but we'd miss

the beginning of the movie.

Are you sure you won't mind?

No. No problem.

Are you sure, honey?

All right.

I wonder who that is.

Kind of early for Steve Peterson

to be home, isn't it?

Would you reach me my pills, dear?

- Which ones?

- The cortisone.

- You're sure?

- I'm sure I'm sure. Thanks.

There was somebody

moving around out there.

Old Bill Lufts probably.

Staggering around trying to find out

where he hid his last bottle of rotgut.

- Roger?

- Yeah, it is Bill Lufts, all right.

There's plenty of food

in the refrigerator if you get hungry.

- Have fun.

- Thank you.

Mindy.

Here, kitty-kitty.

Mindy.

Mindy, it's time for supper.

Mindy?

Mindy?

Oh, Mindy.

Where were you?

Oh, Mindy.

Mindy, not up there.

- Hello?

- Hello, baby.

Hi, Daddy.

Hey, baby. Listen,

I'm in Grand Central still.

- Is Sharon there yet?

- No.

- Everything okay?

- Yeah, sure.

- Remember that history test I took?

- Yeah.

- And I forgot to study?

- Yeah.

- And I thought I got all messed up on?

- Yeah.

- Guess what I got.

- Forty-two.

No, 94. I couldn't believe it.

That's terrific, honey. Didn't I tell you

those things have a way of working out?

Did Mr. Lufts fix the hot water yet?

Julie?

Dad, when are you gonna be home?

I'll be there at 8 if the train's on time.

- Take care of Sharon till I get there.

- One minute, Dad.

Julie?

Julie!

Daddy, help!

Julie!

Hello?

Julie.

Julie?

Mrs. Lufts?

Anybody home?

Julie.

Don't say nothing or I kill the kid.

What was the first thing

that you noticed?

- Find anything?

- Just the note so far.

- He entered through an upstairs window.

- Right.

Steve.

The f***ing people

left my daughter all alone.

- I know how you must be feeling.

- The hell you do.

We got your wife's killer, didn't we?

We're gonna get this guy.

We're gonna get your little girl back.

How well do you know Sharon Martin?

What's that got to do

with anything?

How committed is she

to saving Ronald Thompson's life?

Could she have taken Julie?

Is it possible that she's being used

by the anti-capital-punishment people...

...as a means of saving Thompson?

No way.

Okay.

Okay. Then we're gonna treat this

as a double kidnapping.
