Previously, on the Red Weather. I found that tape in my car when Anna left it with a bunch of her books. And when I heard it, that's when I knew she was banging some older guy. It also can't be true that age doesn't matter. Which, by the way, you say it all the time. All of a sudden, she's missing school late nights. Taking the car out. He wore her down. That son of the bitch wore her down. Jesus, do you remember Jacob Wyman? The English teacher. Wyman landed in hot water last semester when several parents noticed he had included the novel Damage by Josephine Hart on his fall reading list. I needed to see that book. So the sheriff's department is here.

What?

Yeah, because I don't care if you are some little shit that is serious.

There are parts of my conversation with Mick Bowden that I didn't include earlier.

It didn't seem relevant.

Who actually came at you with a bat? Because I don't remember this at all. The Phantom of the Opera or whatever. That's why I took him out. And that kid went down hard. You took him out. He wasn't getting back up. Okay. We were talking about the night Anna Tranner disappeared. No way. No fucking way. Chris didn't see it quite the same.

Took me out.

I think I'd remember that.

Anyway, Mick and I were going back and forth, and at one point, he said this. It's just lucky I didn't have a gun. That's a weird thing to say. I'm not making a point, okay? That if you come at me with a bat, if I had a gun, I justified in...

Did you have a gun? Like, in your car? Did you have a gun? No, of course. What about your house?

No. Did you? No, obviously not. What do you mean, obviously not? You looked out there in the middle of the woods. Okay, no, but hold on. You didn't have a gun at your house in your house when you grew up? Yeah, my dad. I mean, we had hunting rifles. Okay, multiple guns. Okay, let's just, can we just calm down to take a step back? Why? We're getting off track. You're not off track. You point a finger at me. I'm just pointing it right back at you. Mick had recorded our conversation the same time I did. They're searching the house. They're going through all the closets and outside. The Sonoma County Sheriff's Office had shown up at my parents' house with a search warrant. My brother, Shiloh, called me while I was still in Colorado. I thought Mix recording was all about intimidation,

a power move, a bluff, to keep me honest.

What are they looking for?

Guns.

But obviously, it was more than that.

I am actor and filmmaker, writer, strong.

This is the red weather.
