Revenge
August 29, 1998 Hey, look at this, Kyle.
Mom? - Oh my God, put it back! - It's Tommy Bonzai? I don't want Tommy Bonzai on my shirt.
Why not? I thought you loved the Bonzai Brigade.
'Cause I gotta look cool.
Kyle's gotta look 'cool'.
Tell her why.
Tell her why.
Shelby's gonna be in my class this year.
Shelby Bryman? Everyone knows miss Drake seats alphabetical, so She'll sit next to me.
Got it.
Strikin' Tommy.
Look, how do these grab you for cool, hmm? Yeah! Oh yeah Twenty five bucks a pop? C'mon! It's just a couple of shirts! One Shirt? Maybe one.
- Yeah! - Let's hit the dress room.
I can go by myself.
I dunno.
I'm not a baby, Mom.
He'll be fine, I promise.
Kyle? You gotta pretend to try these on, c'mon.
Kyle? Kyle? Kyle? Kyle? [ BREAM, K.
M98-227 .]
Father.
John.
Thanks for dropping by.
Thanks for nothing, you owe me a dime.
Our Lord rested on Sunday, apparently, so does a Sixers defence.
- Jannie was here yesterday.
- Yeah.
Final arrangement for the baptism.
Her boy's growing like a weed.
Something goin' on with her? - Not that I know of.
- Have you talked lately? Must've been a few weeks, I'm swamped at work.
Well, work is why I called you.
In 1998, I took confession from the neighborhood kid, Bernny Gantz.
He was caught up in a kidnapping.
- Kidnapping of who? - A little boy.
Kyle Bream.
They found him dead in Salem Harbor.
This Gantz confessed to the murder? No, said he was just paid to watch him.
Where do we find him? All Saint's Ground.
Got himself killed last week robbing the jewelry store.
So that's why you're freed up to tell me.
Berny never did much with his life.
Maybe some good could come from his death.
I'll pull the job.
Take another look.
Give Jannie a call.
Yeah.
I will.

Disappeared from the department store in Torresdale.
A day later, the parents get a ransom call.
FBI come in? They set up a money drop, put undercovers at the scene.
Hey.
Hey.
Dad puts a cash in a prearranged dumpster.
Ten minutes later, guy comes diggin', the feds move in.
Well, he's the wrong guy.
Just a vagrant.
Kidnapper never showed.
Figured he made the feds, got spooked.
And the Breams never saw Kyle again.
Body was found a month later.
Drowned.
So the heat's on, kidnapper cuts his losses and kills the kid.
They ever get close on who snatched him? No phone trace, nothing on store cameras.
Maybe the late Berny Gantz gets us closer.
Gantzs was the guy who told your brother he was paid to watsh Kyle? - What'd you find on him? - He was small time.
Theft, credit card crime, forgery charge.
Tried to fake a power ball ticket.
He's a real brain truster.
His older brother Manny.
Same shed, Different tool.
A lot of the same arrests as Berny.
Could be a team.
Hey, Manny.
Mind if we step in your office? Off office? I just eat here.
It's the best kubide west of the Nile.
Yeah, we wanna talk to you about Kyle Bream? - Who? - Nine year old.
Got abducted and murdered in '98.
Yeah, your brother Berny was in on it.
Berny had his own life.
Well, you got mirror-image rap sheets to say different, you were partners.
We can't get Berny on murder, him being dead and all but, we can still get you.
Whoa! Back the truck up.
We had nothing to do with that kid dying.
So just the kidnapping then? You can talk to us or the feds.
They'll be real interested in your little operatoin here.
Operation? Just some fake IDs for kids.
Selling forged papers out of a middle eastern restaurant? Two word, Manny.
Patriot Act.
They can put you in a hole, no lawyer, no trial.
No kubide.
This guy hired us to watch the kid.
We were babysitters, that's it.
What guy? Give us a name.
No names.
That's how he wanted it.
- Anonymous-like.
- How'd it work? One crew to snap the kid, one to watch.
No names, no faces.
I only saw the guy once.
Gin.
Ah, you rat bastard! Hey, kid.
You wanna play? You can't do any worse than this mook.
My Dad's coming to get me.
Sure he is.
I'm gonna miss the first day of school.
That's the breaks, kid.
I'm supposed to sit next to Shelby.
- That's him.
- Dad? - Take him in the other room.
- C'mon.
- Kyle's in the other room? - Come in, you're clear.
- He okay? - Keeps asking about his dad.
Worried school started without him.
This will all be over soon enough.
I gave the parents the terms.
They'll get the kid as soon as they pay up.
What if they can't pay up? They got a hundred large in bearer bonds in their safe.
They'll pay.
Bonds in the safe.
- How did he know about that? - Beats me.
All I know is when the drop went south, he got cold feet.
he paid us off.
And you left Kyle with him? It was business.
Here.
So is this.
We packed up Kyle's room last year.
It's hard to.
.
know what to keep.
What to let go of.
- Sure.
- Or what to do with the room.
Maybe one day it will be a nursery again.
We might have a lead.
Someone involved in the kidnapping.
Did you own some bearer bonds, Mr.
Bream back in '98? Yeah.
We cashed them in for the ransom.
The FBI thought our best chance was to along with their sting.
I didn't want to.
DId they go against your wishes? Kent thought we should take their advice.
- So we did.
- They explained the percentages.
This was our best shot.
Unfortunately those percentages didn't apply to us.
- That's not Kyle.
- They said to stay back.
It's not him, they can't put Kyle in a bag.
He's gone, baby.
Oh God, he's gone.
You said to work with them.
I thought / You said that's how we'd get him back.
You said he could go by himself to the dressing room! - Baby - You promised he'd be fine Anyway.
We believe, who ever knew about the bonds, had something to do with the kidnapping.
- No one knew about them.
- You sure about that? Yeah, I never told a soul.
What? My sister.
I told her.
In case something ever happened to us I wanted them to know.
Them? She and her husband.
You told Ed? Who's Ed? Things didn't turned out so good between you and Tina Bream's sister, huh Ed? Didn't even make it to the second anniversary.
I had a problem I guess you guys know that? Locked up three times for drugs, twice for theft- I was stealing to support my habit.
Slippery slope.
Petty thefts, kidnapping.
- Murder- - No! Manny Gantz picked you out of a photo spread.
You snatched Kyle, killed your own nephew.
I didn't kill no one.
You needed money, the in-laws had it, you knew how to get it.
Yeah, but when the things got hinky with the ransom you got nervous, - and now Kyle's a reliablity.
- I'm outta here Hey, Ed.
You ain't listening? We got a witness.
Okay.
I'm a scumbag.
I took Kyle but When I saw feds at the drop I got scared so I made other arrangements.
So you're Kyle.
You like comics, Kyle? Some.
They made this one into a movie, right? - It was a video game first.
- You're right.
You like video games? My Mom says, Sega makes your head soft.
Hey, I got a Sega.
My head's okay.
You can come play games at my house if you want.
I want my Mom and Dad.
I'm told they went on a trip.
Without me? I don't know why.
Was it 'cause my shirt costed 25$ a pop? You know that is a lot of money for a shirt.
No worries.
See, you and me We could take a trip of our own.
An adventure.
You can have your own secret identity.
Like Peter Parker in Spider Man? Exactly.
Parker.
I like that name.
Me and this guy made a deal.
What kind of deal are we talking about? What did you do with Kyle? I sold him.
Hey, babe.
Hi.
I'd thought you'd bring the baby.
He's with Mom.
She coming Friday? Of course.
I saw your uncle yesterday, and he thought you'd seemed upset.
No.
Jannie? What? I saw Brad Witham last week.
I was having dinner at Olson's.
He was behind the bar.
Are you sure it was him? I know that smile.
Right.
Remember how you wanted to press charges? - Yeah.
- Or at least go find him and- You and Mom stoped me.
I wish you hadn't listened to us.
Oh, Jannie / Why was I worried about how people would think of me? Who cares about that now? You were so sure of what you wanted you begged me.
I know.
You wanted to just forget it.
Well, I was eighteen.
I was wrong.
So what do we know about this guy who bought Kyle Bream? - Name's Rudy Taner.
- Was anyway.
- Suspect's a cold job, too.
- For real? How'd it go? Guy was shot a few months after Kyle turned up dead.
School administrator, 45, lived in Malrow Park.
Nice neighborhood.
Well, someone took him out in his nice tomato garden.
Well, the assigned took evidence from the home computer.
Turn's out Taner was running a website.
'boysinbloom.
com' - Kiddy porn.
- Oh, man.
- Kyle was an investment.
- So why kil him? Let's go with the feds, see if they red-flagged visitors to the site.
This guy got a family? - Looks like he had a wife.
- And didn't she get the prize.
This boy may have stayed with you and yor husband in the fall of '98? Rudy and I were seperated by then.
Was that because of his website? I found out about that after he died like everyone else.
Never suspected? I had a night job, a weekend job, plus this during the week.
- I didn't have time to monitor him.
- So you divorced him.
He left me.
Ditched me to raise Archie on my own.
Archie's your son? Yeah.
/ Did he ever spend time with his dad after you two split? He'd stayed with him on the weekends when I worked.
You weren't worried about that? But he would never not his own son.
You ever see this kid? - But his hair was different.
- How so? It was blond like Archie's.
I remember thinking they could have been brothers.
- Where was this? - At Rudy's house.
One Sunday when I went to pick up Archie.
Archie? Gotta go, right now! Archie? Mom? In here.
You're early.
I wanted to get to the store before it closes, so get your stuff.
But Dad wanted me to make milk shakes.
If I don't shop tonight I can't go again until Wednesday, so let's move it! Put your coat on, I'll get your stuff.
No! Mom! You can't go in there! It's Parker, some family friend.
Why is he in your bedroom? His Parents are out of town so Dad gave him my room.
I don't like Samurai Planet.
He got the wrong ones, I like Bonzai Brigade.
I've got all 24 issues at home.
What are you doing here, Sandra? I uh- got off early.
- Let's go, Archie.
- Can't I just stay, I mean- - Maybe Dad could bring me home.
- Next time kiddo.
Get your coat.
Hey, nap time in 10 minutes, star.
His parents are colleagues of mine.
They're both sick.
It's a real tragedy.
Archie said they went out of town.
Well, it's a cover story.
He looks like Archie when he was- Nine.
Yes, he does.
Such a wonderful age.
I didn't know anything was wrong.
I didn't.
Your mom, saw this kid at your dad's place.
Yeah, that's um- that's uh- what's he's nameuh- Parker.
Parker? Yeah, my Dad take him in for a while.
He said he had some problems at home.
That's what your pop said.
Yeah, he was like that generous.
Kid's real name was Kyle Bream.
He got murdered after your dad took him in.
Murdered? You're not saying that my Dad had anything to do with that? You Dad bought Kyle from the man who kidnapped him.
- No.
- Archie - He was a child pornagrapher.
- Oh, not that crap again.
There's evidence, his website.
My Dad gave this kid a home after his own parents bailed on him.
Can we throw the football, Dad? Practice my spiral? Sure.
Later.
What's wrong, Parker? Nothing.
Tell me.
I didn't really care if I had cool shirts.
I know but people get overwhelmed sometimes.
That's what happened to my Mom and Dad? Little boy can be very expensive.
That's why they didn't want me? Yeah.
But Uncle Rudy does.
And he won't leave you.
Can we practice now? Whatever Parker wants.
Parker isn't good at football.
My Dad just tried to help him.
Kyle had brown hair.
So? Your Dad changed it to look like yours.
Your Mom says you could have been brothers.
And your meaning is what? My Father was a good man.
[ BEST SMILE: Brad Witham .]
Hey, Boss.
What's the latest? This Rudy Taner did a Stockholm Syndrome on Kyle.
Had him believe that his parents ran out on him.
That's explains how he kept him there.
Also had a son Archie thinking he was the world's greatest dad.
A kid's gotta believe in someone.
Got the FBI file on Taner's website.
There's pictures.
- Of Kyle? - Among others.
That might not be the worst of it.
Federal watch list for paying members to the site.
Check the 'B's.
Ken Bream? Kyle's dad had himself a membership.
You like boys, Ken? What are talking about? Your membership the 'boysinbloom.
com'.
Kyle showed up on that site.
- As a model.
- That's some kind of coincidence.
It's not what you think.
Then what is it? My husband didn't have anything to do with what happened to Kyle.
You don't really sound convinced to that.
I just shouldn't have believed him.
About what? That Kyle would be okay by himself.
At the store.
We're not talking about the dressing room, Tina.
Then what? Mrs.
Bream, your husband was accessing child pornagraphy on the Internet.
I know.
Rudy Taner.
You know him? Know.
/ See, the innocent answer would've been "Rudy, who?".
- Or just "Who?".
- I would've taken either.
- I didn't know him.
- Didn't? Hey, pervert! We're talking to you! - What did you call me? - I know what you are.
- I make a study out of people like you.
- You don't know anything! Then tell us.
It was Rudy Taner's site.
Pictures of little boys? Including Kyle.
I'm the one who told Ken about it.
How did you know? We got crank calls after Kyle died.
Letters.
You don't know how cruel.
At first, I thought she was one of them.
Mrs.
Bream? I saw your boy.
What? Your son Kyle, I- I saw him.
- My son is dead.
- Last fall.
In a house on highland street.
Don't do this.
The man who lives there, Rudy Taner.
He hurt my boy, too.
- I don't believe you.
- It's true.
He took pictures of your boy.
- There's a website- - Get away from me! He likes Bonzai Brigade.
But not Samurai Planet.
He said he had all the good comics at home.
Twenty four issues.
Rudy lied to me.
But I believed him.
I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry She told me.
And I told Ken.
Why not go to the police? I didn't have a lot of faith in the authorities at that point.
Right.
It was time to make things right.
I went to that site that woman told Tina about.
Bought a password.
And there was Kyle in We know.
She blamed me.
For losing him, and for the FBI.
- I had to make it up to her.
- By doing what? Turn around.
- Who are you? - I was Kyle Bream's Dad.
The boy in the harbor.
I read about him.
I'm so sorry.
You got nerve.
Mr.
Bream.
/ Do you know the feeling when you wake up from a nightmare, and you realize it's just a dream? How good that feels? That relief? When I wake up, I realize it was all real.
- I didn't kill him.
- I saw the pictures.
That's all it was.
It was just pictures.
And that was enough.
You deserve worse than this.
But it'll have to do.
Then let me tell you the truth.
'Dad'.
He was the best piece of I never thought I'd get away with it.
Then months went by, then years.
You know we're gonna have to charge you.
It was wrong, I know but I'm not sorry.
It didn't help though.
He's still gone.
You told Tina Bream what was going on in that house but you didn't tell us.
- I've got caravan in 10 minutes.
- You knew what was happening with Kyle.
Plus a client is waiting for me to call.
Hey, Sandra.
Stand still.
He was her son.
She deserved to know.
Telling her, got your husband killed.
Was that kind of what you intended? I saw that boy's picture in the paper, and I knew what Rudy had done and I thought he should pay.
For what he did to Kyle? - Or to Archie? - He never touched Archie! You told Mrs.
Bream Rudy lied to you.
You weren't just talking about that day with Kyle, were you? That's why all the night jobs, the weekend jobs, never goin' home? Would have meant having to deal with it.
I never thought a man like Rudy would look at someone like me.
So you let him hurt your own boy? I pretended I didn't see.
It was easier that way.
to believe.
What? That I was his star.
He always call me that.
Before Archie was born.
'Star'.
Your mom's sorry, Archie.
For what your dad did.
For not stoping him.
I don't know what she means by that.
Why are you protecting him? He hurt you.
He hurt Kyle, too.
Didn't he? He was there for me.
She wasn't.
She was never around.
- She works three jobs to support you.
- To avoid me, you mean.
Look, whatever your mom's failings were, your dad did worse.
No.
No, he- - He loved me.
- That ain't love, Archie.
He couldn't hurt Parker.
Because Parker went away.
You make a mean milk shake, son.
Doesn't he, Parker? Yeah.
I gotta go to the bathroom.
Come here.
Hey.
Keep the door open.
Why do you watch him like that? Like what? He's never going away, is he? I'm going online, keep off the phone.
- Dad? - What, Archie? Why don't you like me anymore? Get your stuff, before Mom blows a gasket.
A deal's a deal.
He's bought and paid for.
- I'll get your money back.
- I don't want the money.
I have what I want, please.
I made a mistake.
Uncle Ed? You're saying Kyle's uncle came to the house? I told you my Dad was innocent.
What happened when Ed came? He took Kyle away.
That was the last time I ever saw him.
I told you I gave Kyle to that Taner Guy.
- Sold him.
- And that was the last you saw them.
- Right.
- That's wierd.
Got a witness who puts you at Taner's place after the fact.
- What witness? - His son.
- He said you came back for Kyle.
- Did a repo.
- Someone offered you a better price? - Oh, no Maybe you thought it was safer if Kyle was dead.
- No tracks.
- C'mon, No! - No? You ain't go back there? - Yeah, okay! I went but that's- He was your nephew, Eddie! It's blood.
I smoked up all the money.
Six weeks straight, I'm flying.
Then I come down, Seen what I've done.
I went back there to make things right.
Uncle Ed? Uncle Ed, what are you doing here? - I came to take you home.
- This is his home.
- Right, Parker? - Parker? Archie, take him to his room.
- Kyle, don't you wanna go home? - He 'is' home! It's okay Uncle Ed.
I'm too expensive.
- What d'you do to him? - I loved him.
Which is more than you can say.
'Uncle Ed'.
So the parents, they don't know about the whole child peddling side of the family? - Aren't you the black sheep.
- You can't just keep him here like this.
- That's why we're gonna go away.
- Where? Canada maybe? Or Europe? Just him and me, no distractions.
You're crazy, Kyle! Get out here.
Kidnapping, 25 to life! That means, stone cold sober in a six by nine cell.
Think about it.
You're out of money.
Don't be ashamed.
We all have our needs.
Will a thousand do it? Two? - Get away from me.
- Five? We have a winning number.
God, help me.
I left him.
I hadn't had a hit in days, you don't know what it's like.
Well, guess I'm missing out.
Archie said you took him.
I'd give anything if that were true.
- What do you have? - Scotch, neat.
- Mccallen, oban? - Twelve.
Pretty girl, maybe you'll get lucky.
You never know.
Get her a few drinks, and her taken home, she's good to go, right? Even if she says otherwise.
Do I know you? You don't remember.
Maybe the name, 'Stillman'? Jannie's dad.
It's been like twenty years.
Eighteen.
- Look, I don't know what she told you- - She lives in this neighborhood now.
This is her home.
So tonight, you're gonna quit this job.
You can't tell me what to do.
I can do a lot, Brad.
Eighteen years ago, my daughter kept me and you apart.
But time's changed.
You get me? You and Kyle's Uncle tell different stories, Archie.
You gonna believe a meth head kidnapper or me? Oh, you agreed on one thing.
Ed came back for Kyle but he didn't leave with him.
Hey, your dad persuaded him otherwise.
My dad wouldn't kill Parker.
Even after he got tired of him? Like he got tired of you? No.
- Not Parker.
- Why not? Because he was his 'star'.
Non-filters.
Reminds me of home.
My Mom had a two pack a day habit.
- Good for her.
- Little vodca to smoothe it all out.
Some nights more than a little.
Then it was my job to clean her up, put her to bed.
That sounds great.
It sucked.
I did it anyway.
Know why? Because after I tucked her in some nights? She'd reach out, like this.
And that made it okay.
Her doing that, loving me.
I would've done anything for that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like you did.
For years.
For your dad.
But then Kyle came along.
Right? Took your bedroom, your stuff.
Your dad found someone new to love.
And he was going to take him away.
And leave you behind! Canada or Europe.
You were only thirteen.
You needed your dad.
I believed him.
You know? - You believed? - What he always told me.
That I was his 'star'.
Couldn't let Parker have my Dad.
Hey.
Come on.
Get up.
We're leaving.
Where are we going? Tell me where you live I can take you home.
- I am home.
- No, this is 'my' home.
Not yours.
Your mom and dad never went away.
They didn't? [ Missing Boy's Parents Make Public Plea .]
They've been looking for you.
That's you.
Yeah.
You ready to go home? Those lights? That's Torresdale.
That's where your house is.
This is as far as I go.
The rest is up to you.
I can't swim that far.
Listen to me.
Your mom and you dad? They're there waiting for you.
Look, you can make it little guy, go on! Can you come with me? No, this is my home.
- He doesn't even like you.
- He does like me! He's my Dad.
Look, he's coming! You gotta go! Where is he? / He's right behind us.
You gotta go now! I can make it.
Right, Archie? Yeah.
Keep going.
You can make it little guy.

M98-227 .]
Father.
John.
Thanks for dropping by.
Thanks for nothing, you owe me a dime.
Our Lord rested on Sunday, apparently, so does a Sixers defence.
- Jannie was here yesterday.
- Yeah.
Final arrangement for the baptism.
Her boy's growing like a weed.
Something goin' on with her? - Not that I know of.
- Have you talked lately? Must've been a few weeks, I'm swamped at work.
Well, work is why I called you.
In 1998, I took confession from the neighborhood kid, Bernny Gantz.
He was caught up in a kidnapping.
- Kidnapping of who? - A little boy.
Kyle Bream.
They found him dead in Salem Harbor.
This Gantz confessed to the murder? No, said he was just paid to watch him.
Where do we find him? All Saint's Ground.
Got himself killed last week robbing the jewelry store.
So that's why you're freed up to tell me.
Berny never did much with his life.
Maybe some good could come from his death.
I'll pull the job.
Take another look.
Give Jannie a call.

Disappeared from the department store in Torresdale.
A day later, the parents get a ransom call.
FBI come in? They set up a money drop, put undercovers at the scene.
Hey.
Hey.
Dad puts a cash in a prearranged dumpster.
Ten minutes later, guy comes diggin', the feds move in.
Well, he's the wrong guy.
Just a vagrant.
Kidnapper never showed.
Figured he made the feds, got spooked.
And the Breams never saw Kyle again.
Body was found a month later.
Drowned.
So the heat's on, kidnapper cuts his losses and kills the kid.
They ever get close on who snatched him? No phone trace, nothing on store cameras.
Maybe the late Berny Gantz gets us closer.
Gantzs was the guy who told your brother he was paid to watsh Kyle? - What'd you find on him? - He was small time.
Theft, credit card crime, forgery charge.
Tried to fake a power ball ticket.
He's a real brain truster.
His older brother Manny.
Same shed, Different tool.
A lot of the same arrests as Berny.
Could be a team.
Hey, Manny.
Mind if we step in your office? Off office? I just eat here.
It's the best kubide west of the Nile.
Yeah, we wanna talk to you about Kyle Bream? - Who? - Nine year old.
Got abducted and murdered in '98.
Yeah, your brother Berny was in on it.
Berny had his own life.
Well, you got mirror-image rap sheets to say different, you were partners.
We can't get Berny on murder, him being dead and all but, we can still get you.
Whoa! Back the truck up.
We had nothing to do with that kid dying.
So just the kidnapping then? You can talk to us or the feds.
They'll be real interested in your little operatoin here.
Operation? Just some fake IDs for kids.
Selling forged papers out of a middle eastern restaurant? Two word, Manny.
Patriot Act.
They can put you in a hole, no lawyer, no trial.
No kubide.
This guy hired us to watch the kid.
We were babysitters, that's it.
What guy? Give us a name.
No names.
That's how he wanted it.
- Anonymous-like.
- How'd it work? One crew to snap the kid, one to watch.
No names, no faces.
I only saw the guy once.
Gin.
Ah, you rat bastard! Hey, kid.
You wanna play? You can't do any worse than this mook.
My Dad's coming to get me.
Sure he is.
I'm gonna miss the first day of school.
That's the breaks, kid.
I'm supposed to sit next to Shelby.
- That's him.
- Dad? - Take him in the other room.
- C'mon.
- Kyle's in the other room? - Come in, you're clear.
- He okay? - Keeps asking about his dad.
Worried school started without him.
This will all be over soon enough.
I gave the parents the terms.
They'll get the kid as soon as they pay up.
What if they can't pay up? They got a hundred large in bearer bonds in their safe.
They'll pay.
Bonds in the safe.
- How did he know about that? - Beats me.
All I know is when the drop went south, he got cold feet.
he paid us off.
And you left Kyle with him? It was business.
Here.
So is this.
We packed up Kyle's room last year.
It's hard to.
.
know what to keep.
What to let go of.
- Sure.
- Or what to do with the room.
Maybe one day it will be a nursery again.
We might have a lead.
Someone involved in the kidnapping.
Did you own some bearer bonds, Mr.
Bream back in '98? Yeah.
We cashed them in for the ransom.
The FBI thought our best chance was to along with their sting.
I didn't want to.
DId they go against your wishes? Kent thought we should take their advice.
- So we did.
- They explained the percentages.
This was our best shot.
Unfortunately those percentages didn't apply to us.
- That's not Kyle.
- They said to stay back.
It's not him, they can't put Kyle in a bag.
He's gone, baby.
Oh God, he's gone.
You said to work with them.
I thought / You said that's how we'd get him back.
You said he could go by himself to the dressing room! - Baby - You promised he'd be fine Anyway.
We believe, who ever knew about the bonds, had something to do with the kidnapping.
- No one knew about them.
- You sure about that? Yeah, I never told a soul.
What? My sister.
I told her.
In case something ever happened to us I wanted them to know.
Them? She and her husband.
You told Ed? Who's Ed? Things didn't turned out so good between you and Tina Bream's sister, huh Ed? Didn't even make it to the second anniversary.
I had a problem I guess you guys know that? Locked up three times for drugs, twice for theft- I was stealing to support my habit.
Slippery slope.
Petty thefts, kidnapping.
- Murder- - No! Manny Gantz picked you out of a photo spread.
You snatched Kyle, killed your own nephew.
I didn't kill no one.
You needed money, the in-laws had it, you knew how to get it.
Yeah, but when the things got hinky with the ransom you got nervous, - and now Kyle's a reliablity.
- I'm outta here Hey, Ed.
You ain't listening? We got a witness.
Okay.
I'm a scumbag.
I took Kyle but When I saw feds at the drop I got scared so I made other arrangements.
So you're Kyle.
You like comics, Kyle? Some.
They made this one into a movie, right? - It was a video game first.
- You're right.
You like video games? My Mom says, Sega makes your head soft.
Hey, I got a Sega.
My head's okay.
You can come play games at my house if you want.
I want my Mom and Dad.
I'm told they went on a trip.
Without me? I don't know why.
Was it 'cause my shirt costed 25$ a pop? You know that is a lot of money for a shirt.
No worries.
See, you and me We could take a trip of our own.
An adventure.
You can have your own secret identity.
Like Peter Parker in Spider Man? Exactly.
Parker.
I like that name.
Me and this guy made a deal.
What kind of deal are we talking about? What did you do with Kyle? I sold him.
Hey, babe.
Hi.
I'd thought you'd bring the baby.
He's with Mom.
She coming Friday? Of course.
I saw your uncle yesterday, and he thought you'd seemed upset.
No.
Jannie? What? I saw Brad Witham last week.
I was having dinner at Olson's.
He was behind the bar.
Are you sure it was him? I know that smile.
Right.
Remember how you wanted to press charges? - Yeah.
- Or at least go find him and- You and Mom stoped me.
I wish you hadn't listened to us.
Oh, Jannie / Why was I worried about how people would think of me? Who cares about that now? You were so sure of what you wanted you begged me.
I know.
You wanted to just forget it.
Well, I was eighteen.
I was wrong.
So what do we know about this guy who bought Kyle Bream? - Name's Rudy Taner.
- Was anyway.
- Suspect's a cold job, too.
- For real? How'd it go? Guy was shot a few months after Kyle turned up dead.
School administrator, 45, lived in Malrow Park.
Nice neighborhood.
Well, someone took him out in his nice tomato garden.
Well, the assigned took evidence from the home computer.
Turn's out Taner was running a website.
'boysinbloom.
com' - Kiddy porn.
- Oh, man.
- Kyle was an investment.
- So why kil him? Let's go with the feds, see if they red-flagged visitors to the site.
This guy got a family? - Looks like he had a wife.
- And didn't she get the prize.
This boy may have stayed with you and yor husband in the fall of '98? Rudy and I were seperated by then.
Was that because of his website? I found out about that after he died like everyone else.
Never suspected? I had a night job, a weekend job, plus this during the week.
- I didn't have time to monitor him.
- So you divorced him.
He left me.
Ditched me to raise Archie on my own.
Archie's your son? Yeah.
/ Did he ever spend time with his dad after you two split? He'd stayed with him on the weekends when I worked.
You weren't worried about that? But he would never not his own son.
You ever see this kid? - But his hair was different.
- How so? It was blond like Archie's.
I remember thinking they could have been brothers.
- Where was this? - At Rudy's house.
One Sunday when I went to pick up Archie.
Archie? Gotta go, right now! Archie? Mom? In here.
You're early.
I wanted to get to the store before it closes, so get your stuff.
But Dad wanted me to make milk shakes.
If I don't shop tonight I can't go again until Wednesday, so let's move it! Put your coat on, I'll get your stuff.
No! Mom! You can't go in there! It's Parker, some family friend.
Why is he in your bedroom? His Parents are out of town so Dad gave him my room.
I don't like Samurai Planet.
He got the wrong ones, I like Bonzai Brigade.
I've got all 24 issues at home.
What are you doing here, Sandra? I uh- got off early.
- Let's go, Archie.
- Can't I just stay, I mean- - Maybe Dad could bring me home.
- Next time kiddo.
Get your coat.
Hey, nap time in 10 minutes, star.
His parents are colleagues of mine.
They're both sick.
It's a real tragedy.
Archie said they went out of town.
Well, it's a cover story.
He looks like Archie when he was- Nine.
Yes, he does.
Such a wonderful age.
I didn't know anything was wrong.
I didn't.
Your mom, saw this kid at your dad's place.
Yeah, that's um- that's uh- what's he's nameuh- Parker.
Parker? Yeah, my Dad take him in for a while.
He said he had some problems at home.
That's what your pop said.
Yeah, he was like that generous.
Kid's real name was Kyle Bream.
He got murdered after your dad took him in.
Murdered? You're not saying that my Dad had anything to do with that? You Dad bought Kyle from the man who kidnapped him.
- No.
- Archie - He was a child pornagrapher.
- Oh, not that crap again.
There's evidence, his website.
My Dad gave this kid a home after his own parents bailed on him.
Can we throw the football, Dad? Practice my spiral? Sure.
Later.
What's wrong, Parker? Nothing.
Tell me.
I didn't really care if I had cool shirts.
I know but people get overwhelmed sometimes.
That's what happened to my Mom and Dad? Little boy can be very expensive.
That's why they didn't want me? Yeah.
But Uncle Rudy does.
And he won't leave you.
Can we practice now? Whatever Parker wants.
Parker isn't good at football.
My Dad just tried to help him.
Kyle had brown hair.
So? Your Dad changed it to look like yours.
Your Mom says you could have been brothers.
And your meaning is what? My Father was a good man.
[ BEST SMILE: Brad Witham .]
Hey, Boss.
What's the latest? This Rudy Taner did a Stockholm Syndrome on Kyle.
Had him believe that his parents ran out on him.
That's explains how he kept him there.
Also had a son Archie thinking he was the world's greatest dad.
A kid's gotta believe in someone.
Got the FBI file on Taner's website.
There's pictures.
- Of Kyle? - Among others.
That might not be the worst of it.
Federal watch list for paying members to the site.
Check the 'B's.
Ken Bream? Kyle's dad had himself a membership.
You like boys, Ken? What are talking about? Your membership the 'boysinbloom.
com'.
Kyle showed up on that site.
- As a model.
- That's some kind of coincidence.
It's not what you think.
Then what is it? My husband didn't have anything to do with what happened to Kyle.
You don't really sound convinced to that.
I just shouldn't have believed him.
About what? That Kyle would be okay by himself.
At the store.
We're not talking about the dressing room, Tina.
Then what? Mrs.
Bream, your husband was accessing child pornagraphy on the Internet.
I know.
Rudy Taner.
You know him? Know.
/ See, the innocent answer would've been "Rudy, who?".
- Or just "Who?".
- I would've taken either.
- I didn't know him.
- Didn't? Hey, pervert! We're talking to you! - What did you call me? - I know what you are.
- I make a study out of people like you.
- You don't know anything! Then tell us.
It was Rudy Taner's site.
Pictures of little boys? Including Kyle.
I'm the one who told Ken about it.
How did you know? We got crank calls after Kyle died.
Letters.
You don't know how cruel.
At first, I thought she was one of them.
Mrs.
Bream? I saw your boy.
What? Your son Kyle, I- I saw him.
- My son is dead.
- Last fall.
In a house on highland street.
Don't do this.
The man who lives there, Rudy Taner.
He hurt my boy, too.
- I don't believe you.
- It's true.
He took pictures of your boy.
- There's a website- - Get away from me! He likes Bonzai Brigade.
But not Samurai Planet.
He said he had all the good comics at home.
Twenty four issues.
Rudy lied to me.
But I believed him.
I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry She told me.
And I told Ken.
Why not go to the police? I didn't have a lot of faith in the authorities at that point.
Right.
It was time to make things right.
I went to that site that woman told Tina about.
Bought a password.
And there was Kyle in We know.
She blamed me.
For losing him, and for the FBI.
- I had to make it up to her.
- By doing what? Turn around.
- Who are you? - I was Kyle Bream's Dad.
The boy in the harbor.
I read about him.
I'm so sorry.
You got nerve.
Mr.
Bream.
/ Do you know the feeling when you wake up from a nightmare, and you realize it's just a dream? How good that feels? That relief? When I wake up, I realize it was all real.
- I didn't kill him.
- I saw the pictures.
That's all it was.
It was just pictures.
And that was enough.
You deserve worse than this.
But it'll have to do.
Then let me tell you the truth.
'Dad'.
He was the best piece of I never thought I'd get away with it.
Then months went by, then years.
You know we're gonna have to charge you.
It was wrong, I know but I'm not sorry.
It didn't help though.
He's still gone.
You told Tina Bream what was going on in that house but you didn't tell us.
- I've got caravan in 10 minutes.
- You knew what was happening with Kyle.
Plus a client is waiting for me to call.
Hey, Sandra.
Stand still.
He was her son.
She deserved to know.
Telling her, got your husband killed.
Was that kind of what you intended? I saw that boy's picture in the paper, and I knew what Rudy had done and I thought he should pay.
For what he did to Kyle? - Or to Archie? - He never touched Archie! You told Mrs.
Bream Rudy lied to you.
You weren't just talking about that day with Kyle, were you? That's why all the night jobs, the weekend jobs, never goin' home? Would have meant having to deal with it.
I never thought a man like Rudy would look at someone like me.
So you let him hurt your own boy? I pretended I didn't see.
It was easier that way.
to believe.
What? That I was his star.
He always call me that.
Before Archie was born.
'Star'.
Your mom's sorry, Archie.
For what your dad did.
For not stoping him.
I don't know what she means by that.
Why are you protecting him? He hurt you.
He hurt Kyle, too.
Didn't he? He was there for me.
She wasn't.
She was never around.
- She works three jobs to support you.
- To avoid me, you mean.
Look, whatever your mom's failings were, your dad did worse.
No.
No, he- - He loved me.
- That ain't love, Archie.
He couldn't hurt Parker.
Because Parker went away.
You make a mean milk shake, son.
Doesn't he, Parker? Yeah.
I gotta go to the bathroom.
Come here.
Hey.
Keep the door open.
Why do you watch him like that? Like what? He's never going away, is he? I'm going online, keep off the phone.
- Dad? - What, Archie? Why don't you like me anymore? Get your stuff, before Mom blows a gasket.
A deal's a deal.
He's bought and paid for.
- I'll get your money back.
- I don't want the money.
I have what I want, please.
I made a mistake.
Uncle Ed? You're saying Kyle's uncle came to the house? I told you my Dad was innocent.
What happened when Ed came? He took Kyle away.
That was the last time I ever saw him.
I told you I gave Kyle to that Taner Guy.
- Sold him.
- And that was the last you saw them.
- Right.
- That's wierd.
Got a witness who puts you at Taner's place after the fact.
- What witness? - His son.
- He said you came back for Kyle.
- Did a repo.
- Someone offered you a better price? - Oh, no Maybe you thought it was safer if Kyle was dead.
- No tracks.
- C'mon, No! - No? You ain't go back there? - Yeah, okay! I went but that's- He was your nephew, Eddie! It's blood.
I smoked up all the money.
Six weeks straight, I'm flying.
Then I come down, Seen what I've done.
I went back there to make things right.
Uncle Ed? Uncle Ed, what are you doing here? - I came to take you home.
- This is his home.
- Right, Parker? - Parker? Archie, take him to his room.
- Kyle, don't you wanna go home? - He 'is' home! It's okay Uncle Ed.
I'm too expensive.
- What d'you do to him? - I loved him.
Which is more than you can say.
'Uncle Ed'.
So the parents, they don't know about the whole child peddling side of the family? - Aren't you the black sheep.
- You can't just keep him here like this.
- That's why we're gonna go away.
- Where? Canada maybe? Or Europe? Just him and me, no distractions.
You're crazy, Kyle! Get out here.
Kidnapping, 25 to life! That means, stone cold sober in a six by nine cell.
Think about it.
You're out of money.
Don't be ashamed.
We all have our needs.
Will a thousand do it? Two? - Get away from me.
- Five? We have a winning number.
God, help me.
I left him.
I hadn't had a hit in days, you don't know what it's like.
Well, guess I'm missing out.
Archie said you took him.
I'd give anything if that were true.
- What do you have? - Scotch, neat.
- Mccallen, oban? - Twelve.
Pretty girl, maybe you'll get lucky.
You never know.
Get her a few drinks, and her taken home, she's good to go, right? Even if she says otherwise.
Do I know you? You don't remember.
Maybe the name, 'Stillman'? Jannie's dad.
It's been like twenty years.
Eighteen.
- Look, I don't know what she told you- - She lives in this neighborhood now.
This is her home.
So tonight, you're gonna quit this job.
You can't tell me what to do.
I can do a lot, Brad.
Eighteen years ago, my daughter kept me and you apart.
But time's changed.
You get me? You and Kyle's Uncle tell different stories, Archie.
You gonna believe a meth head kidnapper or me? Oh, you agreed on one thing.
Ed came back for Kyle but he didn't leave with him.
Hey, your dad persuaded him otherwise.
My dad wouldn't kill Parker.
Even after he got tired of him? Like he got tired of you? No.
- Not Parker.
- Why not? Because he was his 'star'.
Non-filters.
Reminds me of home.
My Mom had a two pack a day habit.
- Good for her.
- Little vodca to smoothe it all out.
Some nights more than a little.
Then it was my job to clean her up, put her to bed.
That sounds great.
It sucked.
I did it anyway.
Know why? Because after I tucked her in some nights? She'd reach out, like this.
And that made it okay.
Her doing that, loving me.
I would've done anything for that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like you did.
For years.
For your dad.
But then Kyle came along.
Right? Took your bedroom, your stuff.
Your dad found someone new to love.
And he was going to take him away.
And leave you behind! Canada or Europe.
You were only thirteen.
You needed your dad.
I believed him.
You know? - You believed? - What he always told me.
That I was his 'star'.
Couldn't let Parker have my Dad.
Hey.
Come on.
Get up.
We're leaving.
Where are we going? Tell me where you live I can take you home.
- I am home.
- No, this is 'my' home.
Not yours.
Your mom and dad never went away.
They didn't? [ Missing Boy's Parents Make Public Plea .]
They've been looking for you.
That's you.
Yeah.
You ready to go home? Those lights? That's Torresdale.
That's where your house is.
This is as far as I go.
The rest is up to you.
I can't swim that far.
Listen to me.
Your mom and you dad? They're there waiting for you.
Look, you can make it little guy, go on! Can you come with me? No, this is my home.
- He doesn't even like you.
- He does like me! He's my Dad.
Look, he's coming! You gotta go! Where is he? / He's right behind us.
You gotta go now! I can make it.
Right, Archie? Yeah.
Keep going.
You can make it little guy.
