Speaker 1:
[00:03] National Emergency is a psychological horror audio drama that explores disturbing themes and intense moments. Some content may be unsettling for some listeners. Listener's discretion is advised. The Midnight Mystery presents National Emergency, Season 1, Episode 7, A Good Father.

Speaker 2:
[00:54] You keep staring at the radio.

Speaker 3:
[00:57] It could just start right now, while we're driving.

Speaker 2:
[01:03] Try not to think about it.

Speaker 3:
[01:06] But what if it tells us to get out? We're on the highway. What if it says don't move? We're going sixty miles an hour. What if...

Speaker 4:
[01:14] Stop.

Speaker 3:
[01:16] Sorry.

Speaker 2:
[01:17] You need to get control of yourself. This spiraling, it's making you a liability.

Speaker 3:
[01:24] A liability?

Speaker 2:
[01:25] You can't keep your head together during a car ride. How are you going to handle Jenkins? The man's barely holding on as it is.

Speaker 3:
[01:33] It doesn't matter if the radio is on or off. If another emergency starts, it'll turn on by itself. They all do.

Speaker 2:
[01:40] Which is exactly why you need to get control of yourself. I need you functional.

Speaker 3:
[01:46] I'm trying.

Speaker 2:
[01:48] Try harder.

Speaker 3:
[01:53] Do you think Jenkins knows that keeping them all on doesn't help?

Speaker 2:
[01:57] Of course he knows.

Speaker 3:
[01:59] Then why does he do it?

Speaker 2:
[02:01] Because it makes him feel like he has control, even if he doesn't.

Speaker 3:
[02:06] The illusion of control.

Speaker 2:
[02:09] For some people, yes. For you, it better not be. Jenkins keeps every device in his house on. All the time.

Speaker 3:
[02:20] How does he sleep?

Speaker 4:
[02:23] He doesn't. All right, we're here.

Speaker 3:
[02:32] Jesus, look at all those lights.

Speaker 2:
[02:35] Every window. That's what giving into fear looks like.

Speaker 3:
[02:41] I'm not...

Speaker 2:
[02:42] Not yet, but you're closer than you think. So when we go in there, remember, we're investigating what he did, not following his example. Clear?

Speaker 3:
[02:55] Clear. How does anyone live like this?

Speaker 2:
[03:15] Let me lead. Don't volunteer information unless I ask, and don't break down in front of him.

Speaker 3:
[03:22] I'm not gonna...

Speaker 2:
[03:23] Listen to me. I was there when you lost those kids. I was there when Jim died. I know what this does to you. And if you go in there broken, Jenkins will make it worse. So I need you to pull it together. Can you do that?

Speaker 3:
[03:40] Yes.

Speaker 2:
[03:41] Stay behind me.

Speaker 5:
[03:55] Who is it?

Speaker 2:
[03:56] Mr. Jenkins, Detective Roy Hutchins, Millbrook Police. Owen Coleman is with me. Open the door.

Speaker 5:
[04:16] Coleman, you're the new driver.

Speaker 3:
[04:20] Yes, sir.

Speaker 5:
[04:22] The new driver. After Sarah. What do you want?

Speaker 2:
[04:28] We have questions about what happened in the forest. About your children?

Speaker 5:
[04:32] How long have you been driving?

Speaker 4:
[04:34] Only one day.

Speaker 5:
[04:37] One day. And you're already here, at my door, looking for answers.

Speaker 2:
[04:44] Mr. Jenkins, we're here on official.

Speaker 5:
[04:46] How many did you lose?

Speaker 6:
[04:49] What?

Speaker 5:
[04:50] On the bus. How many children?

Speaker 2:
[04:52] Mr. Jenkins.

Speaker 5:
[04:58] And now you want to run.

Speaker 3:
[05:00] I want to know if it's possible to get away from the National Emergencies. You took your kids to the forest.

Speaker 5:
[05:07] Don't.

Speaker 2:
[05:08] Mr. Jenkins, we're not here to.

Speaker 5:
[05:10] You're a cop. You took him to my house. This is an interrogation.

Speaker 2:
[05:14] No, it's not. He's considering going off the grid like you did. I brought him here to hear your story, to understand what happened so he can make an informed decision.

Speaker 3:
[05:26] Please, I just need to know. Did the emergency stop out there? Were you safe in the forest?

Speaker 5:
[05:33] For a while.

Speaker 3:
[05:35] And then what happened?

Speaker 5:
[05:36] I don't talk about that.

Speaker 4:
[05:38] Mr. Jenkins.

Speaker 5:
[05:39] I told them everything.

Speaker 6:
[05:41] Did you?

Speaker 2:
[05:43] The evidence doesn't match your story.

Speaker 5:
[05:45] I don't talk about that. Leave.

Speaker 6:
[05:47] Now.

Speaker 3:
[05:49] I've had three of them.

Speaker 4:
[05:51] Owen.

Speaker 5:
[05:52] What?

Speaker 3:
[05:53] Three emergencies. My wife disappeared in the first one. Twenty-three kids on my bus. And then another one at the town hall.

Speaker 2:
[06:00] I told you to let me handle this.

Speaker 5:
[06:03] Three?

Speaker 3:
[06:04] Yes.

Speaker 5:
[06:06] And how long?

Speaker 6:
[06:06] A year.

Speaker 3:
[06:08] One a year ago. Two this week.

Speaker 5:
[06:11] Two in one week. How are you still standing?

Speaker 3:
[06:16] I don't know.

Speaker 5:
[06:17] Come in. Quickly.

Speaker 3:
[06:21] We're going to talk about this later. Oh my god.

Speaker 5:
[06:29] You get used to it.

Speaker 7:
[06:31] How?

Speaker 5:
[06:32] You don't get used to silence. That's worse.

Speaker 2:
[06:35] Mr. Jenkins, turn down the volume.

Speaker 5:
[06:38] Don't touch anything. Don't turn anything off.

Speaker 2:
[06:41] I'm not asking you to turn them off. I'm telling you to turn them down.

Speaker 5:
[06:45] They stay on.

Speaker 2:
[06:47] Mr. Jenkins, we can't have a conversation like this. The volume is too loud.

Speaker 5:
[06:52] They stay on. All of them.

Speaker 2:
[06:54] I'm not asking you to turn them off. Just down. Enough so we can hear each other.

Speaker 7:
[06:59] No.

Speaker 5:
[07:00] I need to hear them if one picks up a broadcast. I can't miss it.

Speaker 3:
[07:04] They'll turn back on if an emergency starts. Even if they're off.

Speaker 7:
[07:11] What?

Speaker 3:
[07:12] The devices. It doesn't matter if they're on or off. If an emergency broadcast starts, they turn on by themselves.

Speaker 6:
[07:20] All of them.

Speaker 5:
[07:21] You've seen that happen?

Speaker 6:
[07:24] Three times.

Speaker 3:
[07:25] My TV was off when my wife disappeared. It turned on anyway. The bus radio wasn't even set to a station. It was between channels.

Speaker 6:
[07:35] Static. And it still came through.

Speaker 5:
[07:38] They turn on by themselves.

Speaker 2:
[07:40] So keeping them on doesn't give you any advantage. You'll hear it either way. And right now, all this noise means we can't communicate.

Speaker 5:
[07:50] I don't.

Speaker 3:
[07:51] It's okay. They'll come back on if they need to.

Speaker 7:
[07:54] Hiring? Aren't you tired of hoping the right candidates in your job posts can apply? It's like trying...

Speaker 5:
[08:06] This feels wrong. Too quiet. You said three emergencies?

Speaker 3:
[08:15] Yes.

Speaker 5:
[08:16] Tell me. Start at the beginning.

Speaker 3:
[08:21] The first was my wife, Anna, a year ago. The broadcast told us to separate, be completely silent. Anna made a sound.

Speaker 4:
[08:35] She was...

Speaker 5:
[08:36] taken. One mistake. That's all it takes.

Speaker 6:
[08:41] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[08:42] The second incident was the bus.

Speaker 5:
[08:46] And the third?

Speaker 3:
[08:48] Town hall, three days ago. A coffin appeared. It used voices. My wife, one of the kids from the bus. Tyler's father couldn't resist.

Speaker 6:
[09:02] He opened it.

Speaker 3:
[09:04] It took him.

Speaker 5:
[09:06] Three emergencies. You survived three.

Speaker 3:
[09:11] If you can call this surviving...

Speaker 5:
[09:13] Most people don't make it past one. After Sarah.

Speaker 3:
[09:19] Your daughter?

Speaker 6:
[09:21] Yeah.

Speaker 5:
[09:23] Sarah. She was seven. The broadcast came through her tablet, one of the first. We had to stand in a circle. Don't break it. Don't speak. Sarah got scared. She called out for me. The second she spoke.

Speaker 3:
[09:44] I'm sorry.

Speaker 5:
[09:49] My wife blamed me. Two weeks later, took half of everything. Left me with Michael and Emma.

Speaker 3:
[09:57] Your other children.

Speaker 6:
[09:59] Yeah.

Speaker 5:
[10:02] You want to know about the forest?

Speaker 6:
[10:04] Yeah.

Speaker 5:
[10:05] Three emergencies. You're looking for a way out. Same as I was.

Speaker 3:
[10:11] I can't keep living like this. Waiting for the next one. Waiting for more people to die because of me.

Speaker 5:
[10:18] Not because of you. Because of them. The emergencies.

Speaker 2:
[10:22] Mr. Jenkins, you took Michael and Emma to the forest. What happened out there?

Speaker 5:
[10:30] The forest isn't what you think it is.

Speaker 3:
[10:33] What do you mean?

Speaker 5:
[10:35] It's not safe. It's not a solution. It's just... different.

Speaker 2:
[10:41] Different how?

Speaker 5:
[10:43] You want to know what happened out there? Fine. I'll tell you.

Speaker 3:
[10:48] Did it work? Going to the forest?

Speaker 5:
[10:53] What do you think?

Speaker 3:
[10:55] You came back...

Speaker 4:
[10:57] alone.

Speaker 6:
[10:58] Yeah.

Speaker 5:
[10:59] I came back. After Sarah died, I couldn't function. Every device felt like a bomb about to go off. I couldn't be a father anymore. Not a real one. I was too busy being vigilant, waiting for the next broadcast. So I thought, what if I took them somewhere with no devices? No broadcasts where we could just be a family again.

Speaker 2:
[11:30] So you went into the forest?

Speaker 6:
[11:32] Deep.

Speaker 5:
[11:34] Miles from anything. Built a shelter. Lived off the land. The kids adapted. We had routines. And I could actually be their dad again. Play with them. Tell them stories. Michael said he felt like a real explorer.

Speaker 3:
[11:54] How long were you out there?

Speaker 5:
[11:56] Almost four weeks.

Speaker 3:
[11:59] And then?

Speaker 4:
[12:02] Fourth week.

Speaker 5:
[12:05] The kids got sick. Emma had a fever. Michael was coughing. I decided we'd go back the next morning. Get them treated. Emma was so happy. She hugged me. Said she missed her bed.

Speaker 3:
[12:22] And that night?

Speaker 5:
[12:24] Middle of the night. I woke up to a sound. Electronic. From Michael's bag. His iPad. The one I told him to leave at home.

Speaker 2:
[12:38] He brought it anyway.

Speaker 5:
[12:40] He was nine. He didn't understand what he'd done. The emergency broadcast tone. That goddamn sound. The voice said there was something in the forest. Watching us. The instructions were specific.

Speaker 2:
[12:57] What did it say?

Speaker 5:
[12:59] We had to leave the shelter. Each find a tree, stand facing away from camp, stare at the tree. If the tree moved, keep your eyes on it. Don't blink. Don't close your eyes. Because if we did, there was something behind the tree. A figure. And it would take us.

Speaker 3:
[13:21] For how long?

Speaker 5:
[13:24] It didn't say. Just wait for the message that it was over.

Speaker 2:
[13:29] And you followed the instructions?

Speaker 5:
[13:32] What else could I do? So we found our trees, 20 feet apart, stood there, staring. My tree moved. I kept my eyes on it, burning, watering, but I kept them open. And then I heard Emma crying. She said, Daddy, I can't. My eyes hurt. I heard footsteps, fast, and I gasped. Then, nothing. Ten minutes later, coughing. When you cough, your eyes close automatically. Footsteps again, then Michael was gone too. I kept staring, thinking, if they didn't scream, maybe they were okay. Maybe I'd turn around and they'd be there. But I couldn't check. The instructions said, wait for the message.

Speaker 4:
[14:45] When did it come? I don't know how long.

Speaker 5:
[14:50] My eyes were on fire, but I kept them open. And then I heard it, faint, the iPad, a voice saying, it was over. We were safe. And then I turned around. The kids were gone. The clearing was empty. I searched for hours, calling their names, but they were just...

Speaker 6:
[15:20] gone.

Speaker 5:
[15:24] And I kept thinking, why did it leave me? I should have closed my eyes. I should have been the one taken. But I followed the instructions, and now they're gone, and I'm still here. I wish it had taken me too.

Speaker 2:
[15:47] That's a terrible story, Mr. Jenkins. I'm sorry you went through that.

Speaker 5:
[15:52] You believe me?

Speaker 2:
[15:55] I believe you went through something traumatic in that forest.

Speaker 6:
[15:58] But?

Speaker 2:
[16:00] In your police report, when you first came back, I forgot there was an electronic watch in one of the bags. A digital watch.

Speaker 6:
[16:11] I...

Speaker 5:
[16:13] I was in shock.

Speaker 2:
[16:14] You just told us it was an iPad. Michael's iPad. But in your statement, you said it was a watch. Which is it, Mr. Jenkins?

Speaker 5:
[16:24] Does it matter? iPad, watch, phone, it was an electronic device. That's what matters. It triggered the broadcast.

Speaker 2:
[16:32] It matters because your story keeps changing. And I need to know which version is the truth.

Speaker 5:
[16:37] I told you the truth! They were taken! Just like Sarah, just like those kids on the bus! The emergencies took them!

Speaker 2:
[16:46] Sit down, Mr. Jenkins.

Speaker 5:
[16:50] You don't believe me. You think I'm lying.

Speaker 2:
[16:54] I think your story has inconsistencies. And I'd like to understand why. Owen, can I ask you something?

Speaker 6:
[17:05] Yeah, what?

Speaker 2:
[17:07] You've experienced three emergency broadcasts. Three different broadcasts with different instructions. Do you remember the details?

Speaker 3:
[17:15] Yes, every single detail.

Speaker 2:
[17:18] Every word of the broadcast, every instruction, the order of events?

Speaker 3:
[17:22] I remember everything. Every second, every word. I replay them in my head every night. When you survive one of these things, you don't forget. You can't forget.

Speaker 2:
[17:38] Mr. Jenkins, you told us the broadcast came through Michael's iPad, that the instructions were to find trees, to stare at them, to keep your eyes open.

Speaker 5:
[17:48] Yes, that's what happened.

Speaker 2:
[17:50] But in your initial police statement, given two days after your return, you said it was a watch, a digital watch with an alarm.

Speaker 5:
[18:00] I told you, I was confused. I was in shock.

Speaker 2:
[18:03] And in that same statement, you described the emergency instructions, staring at trees, not blinking, keeping your eyes open until the message said it was over. That part stayed consistent.

Speaker 5:
[18:13] Yes, see? I told you the truth.

Speaker 2:
[18:16] But you also said in the statement that Michael was taken first. Just now, you told us Emma was taken first. Had you heard her say, Daddy, I can't, my eyes hurt? And then later, Michael was taken.

Speaker 5:
[18:35] I don't... it was dark. I couldn't see them. I might have gotten the order wrong.

Speaker 2:
[18:41] Owen just told us that survivors remember everything. Every detail, every second. So which is it, Mr. Jenkins? Was it Emma first or Michael?

Speaker 5:
[18:51] Does it matter? They're both gone. They were both taken.

Speaker 2:
[18:56] It matters because if you were really there, if you really experienced what you described, you would remember. You wouldn't get the order wrong. The device changes, the order of events changes, the details shift. And there's something else that bothers me.

Speaker 6:
[19:17] What? What else?

Speaker 2:
[19:18] When Search and Rescue asked you to take them to the campsite, to show them where it happened, you led them in circles for almost six hours.

Speaker 4:
[19:29] They never found it.

Speaker 2:
[19:32] Not the shelter, not your supplies, not a single trace that you or your children were ever out there.

Speaker 5:
[19:40] I was disoriented. I'd been walking for days. I was exhausted, starving.

Speaker 2:
[19:45] You'd been there for four weeks, Mr. Jenkins. You'd built that shelter yourself. You'd lived there. You knew that forest. And yet, when it came time to show police where your children disappeared, you couldn't find it. Not even close.

Speaker 5:
[20:01] Forest looks all the same. Trees, more trees.

Speaker 2:
[20:05] But if what you described really happened, if you experienced that emergency, if you stood at those trees for hours, if you searched for your children afterwards, you would be able to walk them straight to that spot. You wouldn't wander around for six hours pretending to look.

Speaker 3:
[20:31] You didn't want them to find it.

Speaker 2:
[20:34] And you know what the worst part is? The police closed the case 48 hours after search and rescue gave up looking. They closed it, ruled it an emergency event. No investigation, no follow up. Because why bother, right? The emergencies took them. Just like they've taken a million other people. Case closed, move on.

Speaker 5:
[21:01] That's not my fault.

Speaker 2:
[21:02] It is your fault. You used the emergencies as an excuse, a cover. And because of that, two children are dead and buried somewhere out in that forest. And no one is looking for them. You knew if you blamed an emergency, no one would question it. No bodies, no blood, nothing.

Speaker 4:
[21:25] And you were right.

Speaker 2:
[21:27] The police bought it. Closed the case, and you walked away.

Speaker 4:
[21:37] How dare you.

Speaker 3:
[21:40] You have no idea what it's like.

Speaker 5:
[21:43] What?

Speaker 3:
[21:43] You have no idea what it's like to actually lose someone in an emergency. To follow the instructions and still have them taken. To try and do everything right and watch them disappear anyway.

Speaker 5:
[21:55] I lost Sarah.

Speaker 3:
[21:57] Sarah was taken by an emergency. Emma and Michael were murdered by you. You don't get to compare what you did to what happened to Sarah. To my wife, to those kids on the bus, to Jim.

Speaker 5:
[22:09] But they would have died anyway, the next emergency.

Speaker 3:
[22:12] You don't know that, but you took that choice away from them. You killed them and then blamed it on the thing that actually took people I loved. You used our pain, our trauma, as your cover story.

Speaker 5:
[22:26] I was trying to save them.

Speaker 3:
[22:29] You weren't trying to save them. You were trying to control them. I'm terrified every day, every second, but I would never kill someone to save them from that fear.

Speaker 4:
[22:44] There was no emergency, Mr. Jenkins. There was no broadcast.

Speaker 2:
[22:51] There was just you and your two sick children, alone in the forest, and you made a choice.

Speaker 5:
[23:00] You went there. You don't know what happened.

Speaker 6:
[23:02] Stop.

Speaker 4:
[23:04] I know what you did.

Speaker 2:
[23:06] Your own statements prove it. The fact that you couldn't lead the police to the site proves it. You killed your children, Mr. Jenkins, and you used the National Emergencies as a cover.

Speaker 6:
[23:21] No!

Speaker 5:
[23:22] I'm a good father. I protected them.

Speaker 4:
[23:26] Protected them from what?

Speaker 6:
[23:28] From being sick?

Speaker 2:
[23:31] Or from having to live in a world where you couldn't control what happened to them?

Speaker 5:
[23:35] You don't understand. Every second, waiting for the next broadcast, watching your children and knowing, knowing that one day they'll make a mistake and they'll be taken just like Sarah.

Speaker 3:
[23:52] So you killed them first.

Speaker 5:
[23:54] I saved them! They were going to die anyway, either from the fever or from the next emergency, at least this way. They didn't suffer. They didn't feel fear. They just went to sleep peacefully.

Speaker 6:
[24:11] I gave them peace.

Speaker 4:
[24:15] You murdered your own children.

Speaker 5:
[24:19] I protected them. That's what fathers do. You understand? Tell him you understand. You know the fear. You know what it's like.

Speaker 3:
[24:33] I would never. I could never.

Speaker 5:
[24:38] You will. When you realize there's no escape, when you understand that the emergencies will never stop, the only way to save them is to save them from the waiting.

Speaker 2:
[24:52] William Jenkins, turn around and put your hands behind your back.

Speaker 6:
[24:55] No!

Speaker 5:
[24:57] I can't go to prison! I can't be locked up! I need to be ready!

Speaker 2:
[25:03] You're under arrest for the murders of Michael Jenkins and Emma Jenkins. Turn around.

Speaker 4:
[25:07] Now.

Speaker 5:
[25:09] I'm a good father!

Speaker 4:
[25:10] Put your hands behind your back.

Speaker 2:
[25:13] Last warning. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you.

Speaker 3:
[25:30] My babies.

Speaker 5:
[25:34] My babies are safe now. They don't have to be afraid anymore.

Speaker 2:
[25:39] Do you understand these rights as I have explained them to you?

Speaker 5:
[25:42] I'm a good father.

Speaker 4:
[25:44] I'm a good father.

Speaker 2:
[25:51] We need to call this out. Let's step outside.

Speaker 6:
[25:54] Yeah. Okay.

Speaker 4:
[25:57] Stay here. Don't move.

Speaker 3:
[26:13] He killed them, he murdered his own children and used the emergencies as an excuse.

Speaker 2:
[26:23] Yeah, this is Detective Hutchins. Branch number 4729. I need backup and a transport at 1847 Henlock Road. I have a suspect in custody for two counts of murder. Michael Jenkins, age nine, and Emma Jenkins, age eight.

Speaker 6:
[26:55] Oh my god.

Speaker 3:
[26:56] Owen, stay back.

Speaker 4:
[26:59] Is he? Yeah, he's gone.

Speaker 3:
[27:03] How did he... He was handcuffed.

Speaker 2:
[27:10] Desk drawer, left it unlocked. He must have had a gun in there. This is Detective Hutchins. Disregard transport. Suspect is down. Self-inflicted gunshot wound. Send medical and CSI to 1847 Hemlock Road.

Speaker 3:
[27:34] He was out there for four weeks.

Speaker 4:
[27:38] What?

Speaker 3:
[27:39] In the forest, Jenkins. Four weeks with his kids. And there were no emergencies.

Speaker 4:
[27:47] Not one.

Speaker 3:
[27:48] Until he claimed the iPad went off. But that was a lie.

Speaker 4:
[27:53] Owen.

Speaker 3:
[27:54] Four weeks. No broadcasts. No instructions. He said it himself. He could actually be their father again. The forest worked.

Speaker 2:
[28:03] That doesn't mean it's safe.

Speaker 3:
[28:05] But he didn't experience a single...

Speaker 2:
[28:07] Just because Jenkins didn't experience an emergency doesn't mean you won't. What if you're out there all alone and the tone starts? 50 miles from anyone. No help following the instructions.

Speaker 3:
[28:21] I could prepare for what?

Speaker 2:
[28:23] The instructions are always different. Always random.

Speaker 6:
[28:28] You know that.

Speaker 2:
[28:30] And what if the town hall was your last one? What if three is all you get? There are people out there who have never experienced a single emergency. Millions of them. What if the town hall was your last? What if you go to the forest and you're just waiting for something that never comes?

Speaker 3:
[28:53] The numbers are going up. Every day.

Speaker 4:
[28:57] More emergencies.

Speaker 3:
[28:59] More people disappearing.

Speaker 4:
[29:01] You've seen the reports.

Speaker 6:
[29:04] Yeah.

Speaker 4:
[29:05] I have.

Speaker 3:
[29:07] So it's not stopping. It's getting worse. Which means either I wait here for the next one, or...

Speaker 6:
[29:14] Or what?

Speaker 2:
[29:16] Run to the forest and hope? That's not a solution, Owen. That's just another way to wait.

Speaker 3:
[29:23] Then what is the solution? Stay here? Watch everyone around me die? Wait for Agent Chen to lock me up in some facility?

Speaker 6:
[29:32] I don't know.

Speaker 2:
[29:34] But running isn't it. Jenkins went out there thinking he could escape, and all he did was isolate himself until he broke. Isolation is just as dangerous as the emergencies.

Speaker 5:
[29:54] Owen.

Speaker 6:
[29:55] What?

Speaker 2:
[29:56] Text from dispatch. Emergency broadcast reported at 847 Maple Street.

Speaker 3:
[30:02] Oh my god. That's Lisa's address.
