Despite the local detectives best efforts, there is no sign of Benjamin. Michael and Claire's worst fears are answered when a mangled body of a small boy is identified as Benjamin, Michael is devastated, and guilt-ridden.

A mysterious stranger named SIMON (23) has been keeping tabs on Michael for some time after the tragedy. He finally confronts Michael with some startling news; he knows the identity and location of the man who murdered Benjamin, and encourages Michael to exact revenge. To convince him, Simon reveals that he himself was a victim of this same child predator who luckily escaped. Michael buys this information, and reluctantly agrees.

WIth the information Simon supplies him, Michael tracks the man RAYMOND MYERS (?) at his trailer. Clearly not a killer, Michael's gun gets caught in his coat pocket and a struggle ensues...
