Abduction Page #4

Synopsis: High school seniors Nathan and Karen find a website with photos of children who are missing or believed abducted. One of the photos is of Nathan as a child, putting into question the identities of the couple whom he's always called Mom and Dad.

What's up? You're going to Karen's?

-Yes. for a school project.

- What project?

Some websites.

Can I go?

- You have to get it done tonight? Has to be finished?

Pretty much...

For school?

For school.

- It is for school, right?

-Right.

Still grounded... Okay.

but for school work.

- Okay.

- Okay. Be quick.

- Understood.

Be back for dinner.

Deal.

- Bye.

- And behave yourself.

Our little boy.

I can't believe we

still agreed to that.

Karen, I remember she's

just a child.

She's kinda hot now.

- She's sweet.

Sweet, yeah did I meant...

- And he's a good boy.

-Yeah.

Alright, I see the resemblance, but

I really don't think this is you, Nathan.

Okay, good.

Tell me why?

Well, first of all, this kid was like

- I mean, do we all look the same at that age?

Yes.

- But we have the same exact chin.

- Coincidence.

Fine.

Explain this.

- Okay, it's a similar shirt.

- Not just the shirt,

The stain on the left shoulder.

Here. Look.

Holy Sh*t!

Online contact.

Steven Price.

My name is... Marisa.

Marisa?

Hello, my name is Marisa. I'll be helping you

help in this case. What is your name? / i

Do you believe you've seen Steven Price? / i

Possibly.

Can you tell me more?

What is your location,

Mr. Harper? / i

I mean, I don't get it. Do you think it's weird

that she wants to know where your address is?

Why does it matter where you are now?

You could just be tipping him off...

It's really suspicious to me

that it doesn't feel right. / i

I think we should talk

with your parents. / i

Mr. Kazlow, you wanted me to notify you

immediately if the website got a hit.

And if anyone ever finds out, then

you're gonna get into trouble,

Cause it's probably

a false accusation.

And then I gonna get into trouble

because now I am an accomplice.

Don't you think it's weird?

Maybe this is all just a mistake.

Well, you could be adopted.

You know, dropped at the doorstep,

You never know.

If I were adopted,

why would my picture

ended up on a

missing person's website?

Well,

a better question would be.

If this is for real, then who are

those people living in your house?

We're gonna be out there. We're gonna dive.

You still wanna dive with us, okay?

We need you to study, right?

Reading about the weather changes.

In times when your mother and I

are asleep,

You gotta take the helmet.

Our lives will be in your hands.

I'm not gonna make it sound too hard

on us, but it's dangerous out there.

The ocean is a big, scary beach,

man.

What you got there?

I lost my

driver's license.

I need this to get a new one.

That was really going on?

Yeah, what else would be going on?

- You're not getting fake ID?

No.

What's going on, man?
