I'll be doing it.

What y'all digging around for?

A dead body.

Well, it's bad for business.

A cold beer?

No, thanks. I'm not thirsty.

Oh, who says you gotta be thirsty to drink a cold beer ...

mister FBI man?

My name is Nicholas Mark Randall.

I'm sixteen years old.

My mother's name is ... Kimberly Miller.

My sister's name is Kathy Jansen.

I was kidnapped.

Kimberly Miller?

Yeah.

I was raped ... tortured.

I was scared, all the time.

I just want to go home.

Mom ...

What are you doing here?

Is there anyone in here?

They say they found Nicky.

Your sister is here.

Oh, Nicky ...

Nicky.

Hi, guys. Hey, babe. Hey, Nick.

How are you, man?

So, Brian and me thought it would be

better if you stayed with us for now.

Right, Brian? Yeah.

We got a room all set up for you.

It's just, um, Mom ain't ready to have

you at her place ... yet.

You know, she needs time to get used to this.

You'll be just fine with us, Nicky.

You'll see.

Yo.

Welcome home, Nicky.

Welcome home.

So, when you're use the shower

Watch out.

Hot and cold are the wrong way around.

It's the faucets. Brian's been talking about fixing it for years.

What are you babbling about, Kathy?

You're acting like Nicky never had had a sleepover here, before.

Yeah, of course.

I know, I'm just so happy ...

I don't know what I'm saying, sorry.

I love you, Mom.

Let's go.

We, a, we went fishing.

Babe, this is so good.

What's up, man? Don't you like your sister's cooking, anymore?

Fried chicken's your favorite.

Brian, let him be, okay. He's not a child anymore, his tastes have changed.

Well, I'll eat it tomorrow.

Did, ... did I come here often?

You, ... you don't remember?

Things come and go.

Sometimes, I have flashes of memory

and other times, ... it's like big chunks of my life are missing.

But, the doctors say it's only natural after what I went through.

They'll come back,

bit by bit.

Hey, wait a second.

Album time.

She does this a lot.

Let's see what I got here.

Okay, so ...

Here's you in the yard, it was your birthday ... 10 years old.

Isn't he cute?

Yeah.

And, ...God ... this is that, um, that trip we took to Disneyland.

You remember that?

Vaguely.

Here's Mom and Brendan.

You haven't forgotten about Brendan, have you?

Brendan is his brother.

I'm sure he's gonna come see you soon.

No big rush. Right, Nick?

Who's Nicholas Mark Randall?

A sixteen year old.

Found after he went missing four years ago.

Kidnapping. When he first disappeared, the BRPD headed the look for him.

He turns up, just like that. After, four years?

Alive and well?

It's a miracle.

You mean, you still believe in miracles.

Oh, yeah. Absolutely.

Hey, just like old times, huh?

Here, ...

Take some corn to Mom.

She'll like that.

Go on, off you go.

Here.

I'm sorry.

Go on, go get me another.

Not too cold, huh?

All right.

Clumsy as ever.

I'll get it.

Do you have another beer for Mom?

Yeah, in the cooler. Help yourself.

Not too cold. That, I remember.

She is just so happy to see us all here together.

And, ... she can barely believe it.

Yeah, me neither.

Look, ... she needs time.

More than we do.

Yeah, ... right.

That was Brendan. He's almost here.

Shit.

Why don't you open it for me?

I don't want him to see what Nicky, okay?

I'll take care of it. Trust me.

Yeah, but ... it's not that I don't

trust you, I just don't ...

I'll bring him inside, okay?

No, I should go, okay?

Okay.

This is your fault.

This is your fucking fault. Get him the fuck out of here.

Don't you fucking give me orders. This is my home, I do what I want.

I don't give a shit what you think. I'm not scared of you.

Is this the heroine in you? Some kind of fucking saint?

Is that what you're trying to be?

Get the fuck out of my home.

Fuck you.

And don't you dare let Nicky see you.

Dumb bitch.

Brendan, stop that.

Just leave him alone.

Leave him alone.

Cut it out now.

Goddamn it.

You're a strung up shit.

Brendan, quit that. Just leave it alone.

Baton Rouge teen, Nicholas Randall, reported missing four years ago ...

has been found in the French Alps.

He has told authorities that he was abducted by kidnappers ...

and taken to Europe, where he was tortured and abused.

French authorities are working with federal agencies ...

to bring the captors to justice.

They even tried to change my physical appearance.

They tried to make me into someone else.

The French accent, where does that come from?

Claims the kidnappers made him speak French.

Want to see the rest of it?

No.

He, he looks totally at ease in front of the camera.

It seems like he enjoys telling his story.

Has he seen a social service psychologist?

Family is refusing.

No one in the family questions his identity?

Nope. Not a one of them.

Otherwise, we'd already done a DNA test.

Come on, Mitch, there's something fishy about this whole business.

Okay. Go for it, but go easy.

Family's in shock.

YES

Hi.

Mom wanted me to give all your stuff away, or burn it.

She couldn't bring herself to do it.

She didn't think you were coming back, you know?

It hurt her too much.

But, I ...

I kept this stuff, anyway.

Good thing I did, huh?

Thanks.

Okay, um, ... I'll just ...

He was a problem kid.

Violent, difficult ...

Arrested three or four times at age twelve ...

Minor offenses, ... usual stuff.

He was headed for trouble, I guess.

He lived with his mother, right?

Yes, and his half brother Brendan, ... junkie.

Twelve years old and had been in and out of rehab over the years.

What about Nicholas' father?

Vanished when the kid was born.

Nicholas was due to be in a home for troubled children.

I guess he wasn't keen on that idea.

He wouldn't hear of it.

The day he vanished ...

he was due to be in front of the juvenile judge.

Left home on time, but didn't arrive

at the courthouse or at school.

According to the report, the family claims

that was the last time they heard from Nicholas.

Which is why everyone thought he had run away.

Makes sense.

But, kidnapped?

Poor kid.

Oh, we'll see.

Kid's been found.

His sister formally identified him.

After 48 hours, the probability

of finding a kidnapped kid alive ...

is close to zero.
