- What the hell's that all about?
- Nothing.
Hey, Mike, you in a hurry?
What's with them?
Maybe they're just tired.
Sorry, boys, the kitchen's closed.
We're sticking to the story.
understand?
Whatever.
Greg?
Go ahead, Mike, make that phone call.
We're all with you. Go on.
That's right, man.
That's right, go.
Working your boys kind of late tonight,
were you, Mike?
This is Sergeant Reynolds
from Criminal lnvestigations
calling Lieutenant Frank Watters.
Are you there, lieutenant? Over.
- Lieutenant, do you read me? Over.
- I'm here, sergeant.
I've checked with Sheriff Davis.
He says he'll give you all the details
when you get to Snowflake. Over.
What's his problem?
Frank, it sounds like he's
in over his head on this one. Over.
I hear you.
Police investigation. There's nothing
for you to see or to hear, so just...
Everybody just go on home, now.
There's nothing to see.
Get in your cars, take your kids,
take your families, go on home.
Lieutenant Watters?
- I'm Frank Watters.
I know a lot about you, yes, sir,
from the papers.
Sure do. About you not having any
unsolved cases here or in Montana.
Nothing but a myth.
But a damn fine one.
Now, why the radio silence
on bringing me here, sheriff?
Well, we got a special kind
of situation here, Frank.
A missing boy on our hands.
Travis Walton.
About an hour ago, a deputy of mine
took a missing-persons report
from a fella by the name of Rogers.
Mike Rogers.
I've known him a long time.
He's a good guy, straight guy.
He's been running a crew
up the Mogollon Rim
near Turkey Spring
for about a month.
Yep, they had a government contract
to clear out the brush.
Dennis!
I want you to meet my deputy.
Dennis, shake hands
with Lieutenant Watters. Deputy Clay.
- Hi, Dennis.
- It's an honor, lieutenant.
I read about that wetback murder
Dennis, can you tell us who else
is in that gang besides Mike Rogers?
Yeah. We got David Whitlock, 26.
Local boy, active in the church.
Greg Hayes, 17.
High school kid from Winslow.
This one's pretty shook-up.
Robert Cogdill, 20, from Durango.
Joined the crewjust a week ago.
Allan Dallis, 25.
A drifter,
on the crewjust over two weeks.
- Bad apple, if you ask me.
- Yeah. He's got hell in his eye.
Sure does.
Frank, I think that...
I think that maybe...
Maybe you better hear this
from the horse's mouth.
Lead me to the horse.
- Dennis, get these folks out of here.
- Come on, folks.
Give them some room.
Restaurant's closed for the night.
- Now, what in the hell is that thing for?
- It bother you?
- Yeah, it bothers me.
- I don't want any misinterpretations.
This way there's a clear record
of everything you tell us.
Well, we already told that Barney Fife
of a deputy everything we know.
I'll tell you, Frank,
Clay wrote down everything.
We'll use the recorder.
A man with nothing to hide
is a man with nothing to worry about.
- You're the leader, right?
- Yeah.
Yeah, he's our fearless leader.
Maybe I should be
talking to you instead.
Oh, no. No, sir. He's the boss.
- About what happened?
- About Travis.
Start by telling me who he is.
He's...
He was my best friend.
Wake up, Dad, wake up.
Wake up, Dad.
It's the tickle monster!
It's the tickle monster.
Ow, what are you doing?
Daddy just cracked his elbow.
How are you? Good morning.
- Good morning. What are you doing?
- Breakfast is ready!
- Waking you up.
- Who told you to wake me up?
- Mommy did!
- Mommy did!
Why did she tell you to wake me up?
Because she wants me
to tickle you again?
Travis, you son of a b*tch,
get off that bike!
Cathy, what are you doing?
Nothing, Mom.
Hey, get that thing
off the sidewalk, Travis!
Here you go. Coming in. There you go.
You want butter on that?
- Can I have some French toast?
- Sure.
I can have some?
I got some for you right here.
No, I gotta go.
I gotta get the truck running.
Wait a sec. Let me talk to you
for a second, please.
What...? The bank's gonna
call again today.
- So?
- So, what should I tell them?
Do we have to talk about that
right now?
No, you know what? We can wait
till they throw us out of our house.
Hey, Mike!
Morning.
What's the matter?
You and Katie again?
Hey, Mike, want a doughnut?
Make you feel better.
About time we got yours
back on the road, don't you think?
Unless you got some secret plan
to let it rust and sell it for scrap.
We'll start tonight.
What do you think?
I gotta show you something.
- What's this?
- This is our future.
MT Motors.
Serving all of Navajo County.
Harleys, Nortons, Yamahas,
you name it.
We'll do commercials like the guys
in Phoenix.
"MT Motors. Our prices are so great,
our show room
Get it? Empty. M-T. Motors.
Empty. What do you think?
I think we better just concentrate
on finishing the contract.
The Forest Service
won't extend the deadline.
Mike, don't worry. This is the deal.
Look, Travis, my mortgage
is on the line.
I gotta worry. I got no choice, man.
We'll get it done or we won't.
Hey, where you going?
Love awaits me.
Look, it's Uncle Travis.
- Hi, Uncle Travis.
- God. Travis, can't you use the door?
- No.
- Go...
- Morning.
- Good morning.
Breakfast in bed.
Thank you.
