Little Accidents Page #4

Synopsis: A recent coal mining accident has killed several miners and left the small town community scarred and traumatized. The wealthy mining executive responsible for the accident, Bill Doyle, wants to pretend that it never happened, referring to the mining families as "trailer trash". His wife Diana and son JT know better, though. Diana is drowning in guilt and feels socially awkward around the other rich snobs she used to be friends with. She copes with it by having an affair with Amos, the lone survivor of the mining accident who now walks with a limp and lives with his dying father. JT is worried that his father will go to prison, and takes out his anger on the mining families' children, especially Owen Briggs. Owen is a young boy who lost his father in the disaster. He lives with his bad-tempered aunt, his grieving mother, and his little brother James, who has Down's Syndrome. One day Owen is in the woods with James, and he gets into a fight with JT, accidentally going too far...

management disable a monitor?

Please answer the question.

I say no.

I never saw nothing

regarding the monitor.

Okay.

Well, I'd like to ask you now

about the issue of coal dust.

Do you remember hearing

about an incident in which

Junior Briggs had an

argument with Bill Doyle?

Junior warned him he personally felt

uncomfortable going in the mines

with that level of dust.

Can't say I remember that.

Now, do you remember

hearing a story in which

Bill Doyle then reprimanded

or threatened Junior

for warning other workers

about the coal dust?

My memory's bad with this stuff.

Well, if we gave you a little time,

do you think you could try to recall

any facts about the alleged incident,

one way or the other?

Yeah.

Yeah, I could try,

but I can't guarantee it.

I wouldn't be too hard

on myself, if I was you.

I never could make a fuss.

I had a family to support.

All you got was a bump on the head.

Don't be comparing us.

What is that?

I got that when you was in the hospital.

It goes real good with them cigarettes.

What's going on out there?

Ah, they're looking for that Doyle boy.

I'm gonna get me some air.

You don't have to give

speeches and thank everybody.

The police can do that.

The police have a job to do.

I just don't think you

need to play boss today.

Diana, I just don't know what to do.

I feel like I'm in a foreign country.

Who's that?

Amos?

Bill Doyle. Bill.

Thank you so much for coming out here.

It sure means a lot to me.

Well, I'd like to help

you out any way I can.

Real sorry to hear about this for you.

I bet you got journalists and

newspapers chasing after you now, huh?

You're a real hero here.

Well, I don't know about that.

Well, anyways, it's good

to see you on your two feet.

Slow and steady with

that cane now, you hear?

Yes, sir.

Bill, I... I was thinking.

If you need anything,

we run a Bible study

at the church every Tuesday.

I don't count on God

for much these days,

if you know what I mean.

Yeah, I get it. I get that, boss.

- Well, you take care now.

- Yes, sir.

Amos Jenkins just invited

me to Bible study at church.

Oh, that's who that is.

No developments in the case of JT Doyle,

the Stinton teen who went missing

on the afternoon of August 27th.

A month-long police search has failed

to find any trace of the 15-year old,

and investigators are still

not saying if they have

a person of interest at this time.

His parents Bill and

Diana Doyle have made

an emotional plea to the community.

If you have any information,

please contact Crime Stoppers.

Amos Jenkins, how you doing, pal?

Hey. Part-time. How's it going, man?

- How you doing?

- Listen, I'm gonna take off.
