Jesus Christ. 27:12.313 --> 27:15.113 - Yeah, it was probably the point. - Why such extreme measures? 27:15.188 --> 27:17.058 Why not just take Matthew in the park? 27:17.146 --> 27:19.516 They knew I'd never stop looking. No parent would. 27:19.605 --> 27:22.435 But if you thought he was dead and were locked away for murder… 27:23.230 --> 27:24.980 But why you?
