Legal question about the movie "Prisoners"

Spoilers ahead.

At the end of the movie, Jake Gyllenhals character hears a faint whistle, which is from Hugh Jackman's character down in the hidden pit.

Assuming that Jackman is rescued, what kind of legal punishment do you think he'd receive? He kidnapped, held captive, assaulted, and tortured an innocent man for about 5 days, thinking he was the one responsible for kidnapping his daughter and her friend.

Just got me curious what type of sentence he'd get for such a thing.

I'd love a podcast or YouTube show where legal minds talk about how things would pan out after a movie ends. Some that immediately come to mind:

*At the end of Uncle Buck, he kidnaps bug, ties him up and keeps him in the trunk of his car, while threatening him. Dude's going to jail for that for sure.

*At the end of the 90's TMNT live action movie, Casey Jones just casually turns on the garbage truck, crushing shredder, and then the police arrive and he's all casual. He literally just murdered someone.
