into your life back home.

- Those might look poisonous.

Those are actually ones

that are safe to eat.

These should fit.

Yeah, these are both for you,

so just whatever, top or bottom.

Okay.

All right.

There's a bathroom in

here you can change in.

Take that.

This is Max.

You have dogs at home or cats?

A cat.

Just one?

One official one.

I feed a few strays though, too.

You must like animals.

What else can you tell

me about yourself?

You know, I can't start to

help you unless you talk to me.

Can you tell me

where you came from?

The woods.

The woods.

What does that mean?

I was in the woods camping.

With who?

My brother.

And where's your brother now?

I don't know.

- Maybe we should

talk in the morning

after you've had

a chance to rest.

Come on Max, let's

go home, buddy.

Can I just ask you

one other thing?

Okay.

What's your real name?

Hey.

Hey.

What?

- Did he ask about

where we found you?

No.

Good.

What do you think?

I think he's lying.

- Why do you think he's lying?

Just my gut.

We have to do weeds today.

It's a rotating thing.

Have you ever done

yard work before?

No.

You ever done anything before?

We'll show you.

It's not hard.

- We need

to finish all this stuff

by the end of today.

You guys work in the

patch over there, okay?

Stay out of those

woods over there.

I hear that's where that

escaped killer's hiding.

Shut up.

Well you still gotta work

over there until lunch time.

Jeremiah, are you listening?

Yeah, I'm listening.

- I thought I told you

to stay in the car.

Come on.

Finally.

Gary wants to talk to you.

- He looks like a criminal.

He is a criminal.

- He's brought the cops here.

- He's dangerous.

Guys, what the hell is he?

Is that him there?

Jeremiah!

Okay gang, let's break it

up, move along, move along.

Come on, let's go.

- You're pretty fast

for a little guy.

After what all

you've been through,

you're a real brave kid.

You know that?

We've been lookin' hard

for you these past days.

Where is he?

He didn't make it.

But we're just

glad we found you.

Sam?

Um.

Can I use the

bathroom for a second?

Sure.

So what were you two doing

out there in the forest?

Camping.

- I mean, that's what

he told me to say.

Sam, um.

This might be uncomfortable,

but I need to show

you a few things,

and I need you to answer

honestly, the best you can, okay?

Is this your house?

You and your dad's house?

Yes.

And.

Is this your dad?

What about your mom?

- Um, I don't know

where she lives.

- How is your relationship

with your dad?

Fine.

But no more than

Probably.

Okay.
