"My name is Christine Collins. On March 10th, my nine-year-old son Walter Collins disappeared. The five-month investigation¹ led to a boy being brought to Los Angeles from Dekalb Illinois. The LAPD told me and all of you that this boy was my son. He was not my son."

"Is this Mrs. Christine Collins?" "Yes." "I'm the pastor² over at Saint Paul’s Presbyterian.

I have made it my mission in life to bring to light all the things the LAPD wish none of us ever knew about.”

"This police department does not tolerate dissent³, and you are in a position to embarrass them and they do not like it."

"I just want my son home."

"Why are you doing this, Mrs Collins?"

"You'll stop looking for my son!"

"By signing this, it certified⁵ the police were right in sending you here for observation and absolves⁶ them all responsibilities."

"I won’t sign that!”

"Orderly!"

"What the hell have you done with Christine Collins?"

"I know my son is out there. I can still feel him."

"Your son unfortunately was not living first, but if you do it right, he may very well be the last."
