Oh, my God.

Jess told me that he is, like, way into Ella.

Ugh, can you say "slut"?

- I heard she gave him a blumpie. - Ew.

Boys are disgusting.

And that guy, Nick, he thinks he's all, like,

"Look at me; I'm so beautiful."

- I think he's kind of cute. - No, no.

I mean, he's kind of hot, but he's not God's gift. No.

I heard he hooked up with Michelle.

No, he did not!

He totally did, like, for real.

Funny.

School night. Bedtime.

But I'm studying with Lisa.

Hey.

Hey, Lis, where's that big party this weekend?

Looks like she signed off.

Ooh, shocker.

Hey, isn't it past your bedtime?

Night, sweetie.

- I love you, sweetie. - Love you.

- Good night. - Mwah.

- Night, honey. - Night.

Hi.

Shh.

Oh, my gosh, that's so cool!

I was standing next to Chris in science class today,

and he turned, and he looked at me

out of the corner of his eye,

but I knew, I knew he was looking right at me.

So then we start talking about something.

I don't know. It was really silly.

And then we just, like,

started talking about lunch and stuff.

But it was really nice.

And then he asked me,

"Did you do the homework?"

And I said, "Yeah."

And he said, "Can I copy it?"

And I said, "Yeah."

I almost died.

I'm gonna have to call you back.

Bye.

Jake?

Jake?

Dad?

Mom?

Do what I say, and you live.

I'm going to kill your mother or your father.

You have 60 seconds to decide.

No!

Choose,

or I kill them both.

I can't! I can't!

Then that is your choice,

and they both die.

No, no, no, no!

No!

Choose!

Me, me, me, me, me!

Kill me!

Something to add, Dad?

Please!

Please calm down!

I will give you whatever you want.

Please don't hurt my family!

Come here, Jake.

All right, look.

Okay, okay.

You can do it. Choose me.

Just choose me.

Otherwise he's gonna kill our whole family.

Please, just be brave and choose me.

Please, no.

I can't, Daddy.

Yes, you can.

Yes, you can.

Choose!

He's gonna kill us all if you don't.

You can do it!

All right, my father.

My father!

What?

Please. Come on, now.

That a girl. That a girl.

My father!

Oh, Daddy, I'm sorry!

Okay, that's okay.

All right.

I love you, Daddy!

And you will have to do the dirty work.

Pick it up!

You can do it.

Be brave. Come on, sweetie.

I can't.

Your choices have ramifications, Daddy.

Now!

I can't! I can't!

You can do it. You can do it.

Now!

- I can't! - Do it.

Yes, you can, please!

Daddy!

Do it now!

Come on. That a girl.

- Daddy! - Damn it, do it now!

Yes, Sara!

Do it!

Now, God damn it!

Do it now!

Daddy!

Sheriff's deputies began a search this morning

for two men who went missing on the lake yesterday.

The sheriff says a family member

reported the 19-year-old and 20-year-old

missing early this morning.

The two men whose names are not being released yet

were last seen camping in the area of the lake.

Investigators said a canoe was missing from the shoreline.

The Sheriff's Department and New York State Police

are helping in the search.

We have a crew headed to the scene,

and we'll bring you more information

as it becomes available.

Thank you, Sandy.

The victim was 57-year-old

defense attorney Elliot Vincent.

Police sources say the suspect bound and gagged

Vincent and his wife.

Then they say the suspect made Vincent's teenage daughter

choose which parent should die,

threatening to kill the entire family

if she didn't.

Police describe the alleged killer as a Caucasian male,

approximately six feet tall,

wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt and knit cap.

Vincent was best known for his role

in the highly publicized Wilshire Barrett case.

That case involved alleged sexual abuse

in several state-run correctional facilities

throughout the county.

- Oh, God! - Jesus!

What the hell's the matter with you?

You scared the shit out of me!

Well, you left your door open. Are you okay?

And you're certain that the door was locked?

Positive. I had just checked it.

Okay, 'cause there's no sign of forced entry.

So you don't believe me?

I'm not saying that.

The door was locked.

Ever since this article came out,

I've had, like, 50 phone calls down at the station,

everybody in varying degrees of hysteria.

Oh, Dad.

I know what you're thinking.

Little Fiona living all alone

with a overactive reporter's imagination.

Easy, easy, okay?

We'll dust for prints. We'll investigate.

It's just-- you want my gut on this?

I think it's one of your stupid friends.

I don't have friends that will pull a prank like that.

Okay, what about Paul?

He's harmless.

Okay, I give up.

I'm sorry. I'll take it more seriously.

In fact, why don't you sleep at home tonight?

For security reasons: popcorn, old movies.

Dad, I lost the pigtails years ago:

Mm-hmm.

I'm getting my masters in June.

Not if I talk to your professors

and they agree to flunk you.

Just dust for prints.

Please?

Okay.

Let's talk about this for a moment, though,

the scanner you're not supposed to have.

I know.

I just like to keep track of you.

Of me?

Not of your next story, big headlines?

All you, all the time.

All right.

Then clearly you won't mind that I dusted for prints,

because as you mentioned--

Oh, jeez. Hold on.

Go for Wagner.

Yeah.

Uh-huh.

Ouch.

Okay.

Yeah.

I have to go.

I'll take this for prints.

- Is everything all right? - Yeah, everything's fine.

Just a domestic disturbance kind of thing.
