The Tortured
'911.
What's your emergency?'
My son's been kidnapped.
There was a guy in a...
...in a pickup truck.
A white rusted out pickup truck
with a camper shell on the back.
- 'What's your son's name, sir?'
- Benjamin. Benjamin Landry.
F***! F***!
What's going on?
Excuse me.
l'm Detective Berger.
l was talking to your husband
about your son's kidnapping.
Mrs Landry,
can you sit down and talk?
Where's my son?
l want him back!
- We're going to find him, OK?
- Oh, God!
l just overheard two cops talking
about how unusual it is
for a child to be abducted
in the parent's plain view.
They said that the fact that the perpetrator
showed so little concern
over whether he could be recognised
points away from kidnapping for ransom.
- What does that mean?
- Means he's a psychopath.
- Jesus.
- My baby.
Mrs Landry, can l help you
with something?
- l'm going to look for my son.
- Where?
Out there. We're not going
to find him in here.
- Please
- No.
Elise. Honey, we've got
to let them do their jobs.
- No
- OK?
Baby, how can you just stand there?
We're not doing anything!
We've been sitting here all day
while they're trying to do their jobs!
- We're going to find him.
- No! Their job is to find my son!
Their f***ing job is to find my son!
Let me go! Baby, no!
No, Ben... No!
'My little boy's name
'He's six years old.
'Please, if anyone knows anything,
please...
'...please, help us and...
'...whoever has my little boy,
please don't hurt him. Please.
'Please don't hurt him.'
Mummy!
- Help!
- Shut up!
# ''Hush, Little Baby'' #
Mummy!
# Hush, little baby,
don't say a word #
# Mama's gonna buy you

# And if that mockingbird

- Mummy!
- Stop it, boy!
# Mama's gonna buy you
a diamond ring #
# And if that diamond ring
turns brass #
# Mama's gonna buy you
# And if that looking glass
gets broke #
# Mama's gonna buy you
a billy goat #
# And if that billy goat
won't pull #
# Mama's gonna buy you
a cart and bull #
# And if that cart and bull
turn over #
# Mama's gonna buy you
# And if that dog named Rover
won't bark #
# Mama's gonna buy you
# a horse and cart
# And if that horse and cart
# fall down
Mummy!
# You'll still be
the sweetest little baby in town #
