Henry: What did he say? A murder at Raven Lake?

Dallas: More than one.

Margo: How?

Dallas: Stabbed.

Margo: Stabbed. Like here. Oh my god --

Henry: That's Louis. That's Louis, okay? What about Maddie? Do you know anything about her? Who did you talk to?

Dallas: I don't know. The kid I was talking to was on a bus. A bunch of them made it out --

Jack: Did you call the county cops? Get somebody out to Raven Lake?

Dallas: They're sending someone to investigate.

Tom: But we don't know that Casey was on that bus?

Dallas: He's not on the list. But that doesn't mean that --

Henry: Let me see that. Is Maddie on here? Okay, wait a minute. I don't see her, Jack.

Jack: We don't even know that this is true. We're talking kids here. After Lia and Nate were killed, we responded to a lot of crank calls.

Tom: Dallas, tell me the truth. Did it sound like these kids were trying to scam you?

Dallas: No. No, no. They were too scared. Too unsure. And this isn't some story that they made around a campfire. The way that this kid Gil sounded, this was real.

Jack: Did anybody say that they saw Louis?

Dallas: That's another thing. They think it was Maddie.

Henry: What? Why?

Dallas: They don't know that she was cleared of all the charges. And they don't know that Louis raped her. And the next thing you know, kids show up dead, and here comes Maddie --

Henry: That's it! I'm going to go up there --

Jack: Henry, we are going to let the county cops deal with this. They will go out there, they will survey the scene, and then they will get back to us with a report --

Henry: Meanwhile, she is up there all by herself, and some guy is trying to kill her --

Jack: The county cops --

Henry: The county cops don't know her! And if people are saying -- she didn't hurt anybody, okay? Let's make that clear. And I'm not going to let her get shot by some hot-dog deputy just because some kids have decided to call her a murderer.

Margo: There's got to be a way -- there's got to a way to find Casey -- maybe, maybe, Casey was on the bus and Gil just didn't put his name on the list?

Dallas: I don't know, Margo. I'm sorry.

Tom: But Gwen's name was not on the list. I mean, she and Casey took his car. Maybe they followed the bus.

Dallas: Maybe. But they didn't mention them, so --

Margo: He's right. Tom is right. I think that Casey, if he knew of this going down, that he would have gotten Gwen, and he would have gotten out of there.

Henry: Okay, okay, maybe Maddie's with them.

Margo: He's not answering. Why is he not answering?

Dallas: Cell phones don't work up by the lake.

Margo: No, no, no, he's not by the lake right now. He's far away. And the other kids' calls went through --

Tom: Okay, did his voicemail pick up?

Margo: No.

Tom: Okay, so the circuits are overloaded. Let me just try him on the cell.

Jack: Dallas, why don't you go ahead inside and check in again with the sheriff's office. Maybe they sent somebody out to Raven Lake. Go.

Henry: Hey, thanks, Jack. I'm going to take off.

Jack: Yeah? Really? Where are you going, Henry?

Henry: I'm going to head home. Would you give me a call if you get some news?

Jack: That's funny, I thought you'd head up to Raven Lake.

Henry: No, you said I would be in the way --

Jack: I can't let you do that, Henry.

Henry: Excuse me?

Jack: Go to Raven Lake. To find Maddie.

Henry: You can't stop me.

Jack: Yes, I can. And I will. The cops have enough to deal with up there, they're trying to find a killer --

Henry: It's Louis. You know it's Louis.

Jack: That very well may be, but the point is --

Henry: The point is, he wants Maddie dead.

Jack: They will stop him.

Henry: How? You haven't managed to do it.

Jack: Okay, I know how tough this has been for you and for eve.

Henry: Yeah, yeah, finding out that your husband is a rapist? That's not exactly that moment that women dream of. What's your point, Jack?

Jack: You feel responsible -- guilty, but you're not.

Henry: You're wrong there. Guilt is not my style. But I am sick and tired of people treating Maddie like she's a punching bag. You heard Dallas. Those kids went to the bus and left her there. They left her there, Jack! To fight for her life!

Jack: They were kids!

Henry: So is Maddie! I'm not leaving her up there by herself. I'm not going to wait here for some news that some other person has taken a swipe at her. And if Louis has touched her again, you can cuff me, you can throw me in jail, you can chase me, you can shoot me, Jack! I'm going to take care of my sister!

Jack: Okay, okay. Why don't we go inside, and just see where the county cops are on this?

Henry: Did you not hear what I said?

Jack: If we find out where Maddie is for sure, you can be there for her when it counts.

Henry: And if she's at the lake?

Jack: I'll drive you there myself. Save you time hassling with the locals. We got a deal?

Henry: You bring your gun?

Jack: Never leave home without it.

Henry: That's good. I may have to borrow it to shoot Louis myself. Let's go.

Dallas: Yes, I am still holding. And this is still officer griffin with the Oakdale PD. And this is still an urgent matter. Can you just get your sheriff on the phone?

Tom: There's still no answer. I think maybe we should --

Margo: Please tell me he's going to be okay. Tell me that he's not going to be attacked, like those other kids -- I keep seeing those other kids --

Tom: This is our kid. This is Casey. He's strong.

Margo: Why isn't he answering his phone?

Tom: Maybe his battery's dead.

Margo: He would have found another way to contact us. Please, give me a good reason for that. Please tell me why he hasn't called. I'm sorry. I'm not going to do this. I'm not going to do this. Neither one of us are going to do this.

Tom: Okay, so we are going to find him. He has our old PDA in his room. We are going to get that. It's filled with numbers and we are going to call every number in that list. And we are going to find him because some kid is going to know where he is.

Margo: Okay. Okay.

Dallas: What do you mean you haven't sent anyone up there yet? You completely disregarded my call?

Henry: You got to be kidding me!

Dallas: Come on, what do you think this is?

Tom: Here. Hello, this is Tom Hughes, the district attorney in Oakdale. Who am I speaking to? Hey, sheriff, one quick question. What the hell do you think you're doing?

Jack: Tom --

Tom: Do you think the Oakdale PD is in the habit of calling for assistance, county assistance for some bogus crimes? Do you read the newspaper? Do you know what the hell is going on up here? Do you know some psycho is killing kids at a camp? And what if you're wrong? What if it's not a practical joke? Do you know that you have kids that are dead up here? They're wounded, they're hiding, they're terrified, and they have been terror -- I don't want to hear about your manpower problems! You put every cop you got in a squad car and you send them to Raven Lake right now! And you send them in hot, with sirens and lights blazing! And maybe, just maybe we can stop some serial killer from killing my -- from killing anymore of our kids! I'm going up there.

Margo: Let's go!

Jack: I'm in.

Dallas: Me too.

Jack: You are going to want to rethink that decision.

Dallas: But --

Jack: We're so far over the line here, Dallas, it's not even funny. We've got no juice up there. You're new to the squad, if anything goes wrong --

Dallas: Then you'll really need me. I'm going.

Jack: Henry, you ride with me.

Henry: You mean it?

Jack: Just get in the car before I change my mind. We'll see you up there.

Tom: We are going to take Casey's PDA with us. We are going to call every number in here. And by the time we get there --

Margo: We'll know where he is. We'll find him.

Tom: Damn straight.

 

Trooper: Who's there?

Jack: Hold your fire, officer! Please hold your fire. Oakdale pd. I'm detective Jack Snyder. This is officer griffin, detective Hughes, her husband, D.A. Tom Hughes. We know these kids.

Trooper: Pearson, county sheriff's office. What are you doing here?

Jack: Well, we've had a series of murders back in Oakdale. And we believe that our perp followed the kids up here.

Trooper: Yeah, that's the story I heard. But I haven't seen any bodies, or anybody running around with a knife. I haven't seen anybody but these two. And no sign of trouble.

Henry: What, are you blind? Look at Gwen's leg.

Margo: Will you just get an ambulance out here?

Trooper: That might take a while.

Gwen: I'm fine. Just find everybody.

Jack: Okay, we are going to need you to get the rest of your guys to seal off the perimeter.

Trooper: There's just me.

Tom: I'm going to call a judge, get some authority up here.

Trooper: Wait a minute! The sheriff told me that this was no big deal.

Jack: Will, do you want to give Officer Pearson and the rest of us here an idea of what we're dealing with?

Will: At least two kids dead that I saw.

Trooper: Where?

Will: By the cabins. Gwen and I hid in the shed.

Jack: How long has it been since you were injured, Gwen?

Gwen: A couple of hours maybe. We haven't seen anybody since then. A bunch of kids left, but there were others --

Jack: Okay, all right. We are going to need to spread out then.

Trooper: Wait a minute!

Jack: Hey, listen. You are either with us, or not. But we are going to find this guy. We believe our suspect is a white male named Louis browning. He's armed and extremely dangerous. Same M.O. as before, Will?

Will: Yeah. All black clothes. Hooded sweatshirt with a baseball cap and a mask.

Trooper: Okay, I'll work my way back to the car, so I can call for backup. You guys take the cabins over there.

Jack: Thank you very much. Henry, do not move from this spot.

Henry: Guys, where's Maddie?

Will: The last we saw her, we thought she was headed out with the kids that drove the bus out of here. They were going to get help.

Henry: Well, she wasn't with them. Where did you last see her?

Will: By the lake.

Margo: Henry! Henry, wait! When did you guys last see Casey?

Gwen: Around noon. He went back to the cabins. I should have gone with him --

Margo: He's okay, isn't he? I mean, he was with you, Gwen. And you're fine. So, he's okay, right? What? What is it?

Will: Maddie told us that Casey's dead.

 

Jack: Freeze! Henry? I told you to stay with Margo.

Henry: And I told you I was going to find my sister.

Jack: Well, you need to go back. Now. Or at least stand back, okay? Do not move.

Henry: Why? What's wrong?

Jack: There's a body over there.

Henry: It's not Maddie is it?

Jack: I don't know.

Henry: Jack --

Jack: But I need to find out, okay? And I need you to stand back. Please. That's not Maddie.

Henry: Oh, thank god.

Jack: What the hell --

Henry: Is that Louis?

Jack: Stand back, Henry.

Henry: Jack? Jack, is he dead?

Jack: Yeah.

Henry: What happened? Do you think one of the kids maybe in self defense?

Jack: No, he was stabbed like the others.

Henry: He was stabbed like the others? That's impossible. That would mean --

Jack: That would mean that he's not the slasher. Somebody else is. Somebody who's still out there.

 

Jack: We found Louis's body.

Margo: Louis? Who killed him?

Jack: Oh, he was stabbed, like the kids back in Oakdale. We found a girl, too. Same deal.

Margo: No sign of Casey?

Jack: No, not yet. There's a lot of ground to cover out there, Margo. He could be hiding in the woods somewhere.

Tom: Gwen and will told us -- Maddie told the kids that Casey was dead. It seems like she was there when it happened.

Henry: Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse. I'm so sorry. Casey was -- Maddie loved him very much.

Margo: I've got to go find him. I got to go.

Dallas: Look, you guys go. Okay, I'll stay and wait for back up.

Jack: Did that trooper check in?

Dallas: Yeah. He found another kid dead. Not Casey. I verified. Pearson's out continuing the search, but help is on the way.

Jack: Okay, all right. Good work. Luke, what are you doing here? Are you okay?

Luke: Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. But there was an accident. My friend fell in the --

Jack: You should go home.

Luke: No, but I drove here with jade. Did you see her on the bus with the kids --

Dallas: I would have noticed jade's name. When did you see her last?

Luke: This afternoon.

Henry: Jack, if Maddie saw something happened to Casey, it's going to tear her up. I need to find her.

Jack: You're right. You're right. Okay.

 

Henry: What is it?

Jack: Another body.

Henry: It's a girl, Jack. Maddie?

Jack: Henry, move away. Please Henry.

Henry: That's not Maddie.

Jack: Henry, come on.

Henry: Wait, Jack, can we do anything for her?

Jack: We're not going to touch anything and we're going to wait for forensics. Come on, let's go. What's that?

 

Henry: Is that -- is that handprint -- is that the girl's?

Jack: No. There are no fingerprints. See?

Henry: Yeah.

Jack: See how it's smooth?

Henry: Yeah. Yeah. Like a glove?

Jack: A very small glove.

Henry: So what? The killer has small hands.

Jack: Yeah. I think our killer is a woman.
