Doomsday
cult mom, Lori Vallow.

Still eludes investigators.

The world awaits for
Lori to answer the big question,

where are her kids,
JJ and Tylee.

We approached
them and tried to ask them
a few questions...

Lori, can you tell me
where your kids are?

That they did not
want to answer-

They've been missing
for over four months,

you have nothing to say?

Why have you been over here
in Hawaii for so long?

Listen, there's people
around the country

praying for your children.

- That's great.
- That's great?

Why don't you give us answers?

Investigating
this disappearance...

Are your children still alive?

Where are the kids,
Lori?

The kids are safe.

Where are the kids?

With that, Lori and
Chad darted into this resort

and JJ and Tylee
are still missing.

The way my aunt Lori's
has been portrayed

couldn't be further
from the truth.

In reality, she is more
beautiful on the inside

than she is on the outside.

Everything she does is
to protect JJ and Tylee.

Oh, mistletoe!

Where's my lovely wife, Lanie?
Look what I found.

Hey, give me that, Brandon.

Oh!

Hey, honey.
What's wrong, hon?

Nothing.

Come on, you can tell us.

You'll feel better if you do.

Okay.

Last night, Margo saw Jason at
Jumanji with Barbara Flanagan.

Honey, I'm so sorry.

That's his loss.

My life is over.

I know it feels that way,

like this pain is going
to last forever.

And how much pain do you think

any of us are ever going
to feel, when...

Here we go.

Easy Brandon,

who are you and I to say
what the universe has in store?

Yeah.

We know what the universe
has in store,

we just don't know when exactly.

That's right, the Lord
could come back anytime

and then there's
no pain anymore.

For any of us, forever.

Well, hopefully a little
for faithless boyfriends.

You know what it says
in Scripture.

Stand in holy places
and be not moved

until the day the Lord comes.

And then, oh my God, the joy.

For all of us.

We just have to stand
in holy places.

And spread your wings.

Spread your wings,
my little angel.

Oh!

Who do you think that could be?

JJ, you think its Mamaw
and Papaw,

all the way from Louisiana?

My brother Charles
was never happier

than when Lori came
into his life.

We loved Lori, we adored her,

the way she adopted
our grandson,

took him into her heart.

Even after we knew
that he was special needs.

It was just...

Well, it was the most
beautiful thing ever.

Okay, everybody.

Oh, there we go.
Thank you.

If she was this
wonderful mom,

then the things she's being
accused of, how?

Oh, well, if...
If we knew that...

Mom!

Mom, you said we could go
to the trains.

I know I did, honey

but it got late and traffic
would be crazy right now

so we'll do it tomorrow, okay?

You said.

JJ...

You said! You said!
You said!

You said! You said! You said!
You said! You said! You said!

- Mom. Mom, let me, let me...
- You said!

So were going to count to ten.

Remember how to do that?

- So it's one.
- One.

- And two.
- Two.

- And three.
- Three.

- And four, and five.
- Five.

And six...

The sky was black with the smoke
from the damaged cities

as the Nation's hunger mounted,

families killed each other over
the contents of a refrigerator.

That is what's coming for us.

Didn't you already know
all this stuff?

I knew it was sometime
in the future

but this book says that
it's practically right now.

It starts with this
huge earthquake

that levels half the country.

That's, that's the first sign
and then America

is so weak and messed up
that China and Russia invade.

That's the second sign.

War. Rumors of war, right?

Okay.

And then after all
the destruction it's the end,

the second coming.

Two years from now.

- Lori.
- What?

It's a novel.
It's fiction.

No, I... I looked him up.

He gets all of this from,
from these visions that he has.

Listen, we need to talk about
how we're going to be ready.

Baby...

If the world is running
out of time,

I don't care what happens.

As long as I get to spend
every last second with you.

There are places that we
can go to train ourselves

so we're ready for everything.

Will you do that with me?

Will you take this seriously?

Absolutely.

You got your puff ball
and your death cap.

The same, same, right?

Well, not really.

You want to make sure
that you're getting the one

with the little white lines
underneath the cap,

otherwise it's cramps,
high fever,

vomiting and death.

Ew.

Hey. Hey, hey, hey.

It scares me too, okay?

We need to know these things

if we're going to survive
the end times.

You want to be here when
the Lord comes back, right?

Okay.

Uncle Alex!

Hey girls. How 'bout
some shooting?

I couldn't hit the broad side
of a bus.

Ah, it's easy.

Just pretend you spent all day
gathering food for your family

and a big hairy terrorist
is coming to take it from you.

You can't miss.

Go on. See how it feels.

So hold it.
Put your hands...

If you're an enemy agent

and your goal is chaos
and death,

what's you weapon of choice
going to be?

Dirty bomb, downtown Phoenix.

Enter, potassium iodide.

God doesn't want us
to be afraid.

There were times when I would
wake up every morning in pain.

When I came to understand

that my son was autistic,

I was afraid that I couldn't
handle it.

I screamed at my husband,
this is too hard,

I can't handle it,
I can't do it.

But that's where
the adversary gets us.

He wants us to believe
that the spirit can't help us.

Wrong.

The spirit taught me to be
a better mother.

And a better wife.

Of course I've read
Chad Daybell.

I've even met him.

- Oh my God, you have?
- Mmmhmm.

Well, what's he like?

He's quiet, shy.

Inspiring.

Yeah, try terrifying.

You know since
I've read his books

I haven't been able to sleep.

That's because you're only
thinking about the destruction

that he talks about
in his books.

Think about what's
on the other side.

Living in the bliss of
the Kingdom of Heaven.

Melanie, sometimes
I don't know if,

if God wants me to make it
to the other side.

All the pain that he sends me.

My entire life.

If there is one thing I know
in this whole world,

it's that he loves you.

Oh, my God.

I've barely known you an hour
and I already love you.

So what do I do?

Ever since JJ was diagnosed

I feel like no matter what I do,
it's just not enough.

I've talked to so many moms,

every one of them
feels that way.

Do you pray?

Every day.

Pray more.

It's the only thing
that gets me by.

Will you try that?

I can just call you sometimes
and scream?

You can call me anytime.

Day or night.

I'm here.

Please shine your light
where there is dark.

Wrap your arms around
my children

and hold them in your embrace.

And with my ex-husband

who's about to walk through
that door.

Please lift my anger from me,
no matter how justified it is.

Hey honey, how was your weekend?

Tylee, go on upstairs.

I need to chat with your mom.

Bye.

What is this nonsense
you're freaking her out with?

She had to sleep
with the light on.

I'm just trying
to keep her safe.

How can you not see
where we're headed?

When I think about how horrible
it's going to be,

I don't know, I just-

What I know is that if you
keep terrifying my daughter,

it goes to the attorneys.

Oh, honey, no.

I am so sorry.

You'll be okay.

You guys ever had
something you knew

was the right thing to do

but later it turned out
it was a felony?

Anybody? No?
No takers, okay.

Well, I ended up doing
some time in jail.

But I had a religious experience

while I was in there.

I found Jesus.

Yes, I did.

Jesus Ayala, Jesus Jimenez
and Jesus Lopez.

Lori and her brother
were close.

Very close.

There you go.

I know when something's wrong.

- I'm fine.
- Mmmhmm.

I swear.

You were awesome tonight.

Don't kid a kidder, Lori.

Whatever your pain is,
just lay it on me.

Lay it on me and on God.

Please, keep him from coming
after my children.

I went through Scripture

and you said if somebody
comes against you once,

if he comes against you again
you can kill him.

But you know my heart.

You know it's not murderous.

I just want to stop the pain.

It feels like somebody is
stabbing me in the stomach

with a knife all the time.

So I'm turning it over
to you God, please.

Please stop the pain.

Hello?

How did it happen?

How did he die?

They said that he had
a heart attack.

Oh, my god.

God must have had a reason

that he wanted to bring
your Dad home.

If God wanted Dad
to die then God is stupid.

- You never cared about him.
- No Tylee.

You're happy he's gone.

Of course you would call
when I needed you the most.

Honey, I always know
when you need me.

Would it help to know
that Chad Daybell

is giving a talk in
St. George next month?

We can talk the whole way up.

Oh, my gosh.
I'm so excited.

What I see, spreading
for a hundred miles

around the great Salt Lake
is a special plate of land,

on which we can survive,
until the second coming.

On this land, like
everywhere else,

there will be war.

And disaster.

But we, we can withstand
these trials.

And, I know,

that that's the whole reason
you're here, right?

I know that you've been prompted

and that you have been guided
by the spirit.

And I know you have a special
role to play.

Thank you for coming.

You said it was Brett?

Thanks for coming, Brett.

You should talk to him.

Go.

Go on, go.

Safe trip back, okay.

The second Lori
and Chad set eyes on each other

it was match meet gasoline.

It's no accident
that you're here today.

Meet me in the lobby
when this dies down.

The second I saw you,
it was blinding,

this vision that hit me,

of all of the lives
you've ever lived.

Lori Vallow.

You're an ancient
and powerful being.

Haven't you always known that?

Deep inside.

At the third station
of the cross,

when Jesus stumbled,

who do you think helped him
to his feet?

Oh, come on.

I saw it.

You should probably get that.

I have a wife in this lifetime,
but you and I,

we've been married
nine times before.

All through history.

And we fought battle
after battle together,

shoulder to shoulder.

Did we win or lose?

A little of both.

But this time we gotta win,

because this is the final one.

My husband.

He takes care of me,
very comfortably.

But sometimes I feel like
he doesn't get me.

Like he just doesn't get me
at all.

The world is divided
into two kinds of souls.

The light and the dark.

I can think of a few
in the second category.

Of course you can,
you have the vision.

It's a terrible burden,
isn't it?

Always knowing.

Sometimes I can barely stand it.

You know about the 144,000?

Of course.

It's the people who are saved
when the end comes.

Right.

But what you don't know is,
they don't get saved
by themselves.

They have to be
brought together,

by an elite core
of chosen leaders.

You're one of them

and that's why we've
been brought back

into each other's lives again,

right at the tip at the edge
of the apocalypse.

To pull that off...

Together.

Some souls get highjacked
by alien spirits,

turning them dark, into zombies.

Well, no, not walking dead.

No, nothing like that.

It's, um, these are demons in
perfectly normal human guise,

out to destroy
the elite leaders.

You, me, and the others.

And make the dark side win.

So how do we stop them?

Our only power

is to pray for the death
of the hijacked bodies.

We pray for them to be killed.

Before they kill us.

And trust and believe that
they have the power to do that.

What did you see
when you looked at me?

Something that just about
knocked me over.

I saw that you are nothing
less than a god.

A god who could never get sick,
or be killed.

A god with powers beyond
anything you can imagine.

And in the end, you're not
just going to win,

you're going to bring back
the Savior

and redeem the world.

What is it, beauty?

It's my brother Alex.

He's the person I'm closest to
most in the whole world.

I'm just scared he's not going
to be one of the saved.

Tell me about him.

He's always been
my biggest protector.

The Devil has been following me
since I was a little girl,

in many guises.

The only thing that got
Alex and I through it

was each other.

I don't... I don't want to live
for eternity without him.

I can only know if I meet him.

He would love that.

Can you come down?

My husband will be in Houston
next week on business.

That would be awesome.

And I have some friends down
there that I'd like you to meet.

Members of the elite.

Like you.

Did Lori truly believe
the things Chad told her

about the dark souls
and the mission

and the end of the world?

She wanted to.

She needed to.

Why is that something
she would need?

I don't know.

It's like there's this emptiness
she's trying to fill.

And Chad finally filled it?

Yes.

But she said to me early on,

Mel, if he's Satan,
he's a good one.

It's such an honor to meet you.

Oh, it's awesome to meet
you guys as well.

Mamaw, Papaw!

Do you want to see my new dance?

You betcha.

Hi guys!

Oh, my, my!

Oh, you used to move like that.

You are sweet, I never did...

Hey!

Your new friends are weird,
even for you.

Like zombies? Seriously?

It's not like from the movies.

Come here you.

Embarrassing!

To be honest, I mean, zombies?
It's pretty far.

♪ And love will die
in the heart... ♪

Far from what?

The Scripture, for starters.

♪ I'm smiling but
everything's on fire ♪

♪ And love will die
in the heart of a liar ♪

♪

Hey, I need to know
what we're doing.

I'll show you what we're doing.

Look, I'm serious, Chad.

Are you going to divorce
your wife?

God showed me very clearly

that we are not supposed
to divorce our spouses.

That at some point
in the future,

both of them are going
to pass away.

I want to be with you now,

so we can start
the mission together.

All I can do is pray
for guidance.

That's all any of us can do.

Goodnight, Chad.

We'll talk tomorrow.

Bye.

Lori.

Hey, you awake?

I am now.

Come in.

Sorry, it's so early.

You sleep okay?

Yeah. How about you?

I had a vision last night.

One of the most powerful
I've ever had.

So that's how it works?

Go to sleep in someone's guest
room and you have a vision.

As clear as I'm seeing you now.

Well what did you see?

Lori.

Hey.

You're scaring me.

Maybe sometimes we need
to be afraid.

But we have to remember
that the Lord is always with us.

Just tell me.

Charles needs help.

Charles isn't Charles anymore.

He's been taken over
by an alien spirit.

What are you talking about?

The man you used to call
your husband has gone dark.

That's impossible.

Whatever my problems are
with Charles, he loves JJ.

He took Tylee in like she was
his own daughter.

There's no way that
he's a dark soul.

Do you think that darkness
doesn't know

how to put on a fake mustache
and a smile?

When you're talking to Charles
about what's coming,

is he your partner in prepping
or does he scoff?

He isn't my partner in it.

And when he's in church,

does he let the spirit take him
or does he hold it off?

Because he's afraid of it.
Because it burns him.

Like a vampire
afraid of the light.

When he comes to church he
can barely keep his eyes open.

No, Lori, he closes them.

What did you see in the vision?

Danger for you.

And for the children.

But don't be afraid,
because you are a god.

More powerful than
a million dark souls.

I have to get back to Idaho.

But I promise that I will never
be too far.

I've opened a portal in here

so we can always communicate.

You just have to call out to me.

I'll hear you.

- I don't know.
- Charles slow down.

Slow down.

What did she do?

I was in Houston and when
I got to the airport

I found out she cancelled
my flight.

And then, I found out

that she took money
from my account.

$35,000!

I can't make payroll now!

And when I finally got her
on the phone,

she said Charles Vallow is dead

and that she's a god

and that if I get in the way
of her mission,

she'll destroy me.

Oh Charles, I am so, so sorry.

That's it! I can't take this!

We are here for you,
whatever you need.

Whatever you need!

I see you everywhere.

At the mall, on the street.

I keep seeing people
and thinking it's you.

And when they turn their heads
and it's not,

I crumble.

Chad?

Charles is gone.

He's filing for divorce.

When can you come
down here again?

Mom! JJ wants to show you
a picture he drew.

In a second honey,
I'll be right down.

Please.

Send me an answer, please.

I am going to grab
some more chicken.

Do you guys need anything?

Salad?

- Salad, yup.
- Some more salad.

- Okay.
- Thank you.

Hey.

Why didn't you answer
through the portal?

Dark spirits must
have interfered.

You said that you would
come down soon.

I will as soon as I can.

It's just getting tougher
with Tammy.

- Hey, Tam!
- Mmmhmm?

Check this out.

Do you remember that guy
Charles Vallow,

that I visited in Arizona
on business last month?

Yeah.

Well he wants me to come
down again,

um, but get this,

he's asked me to co-write
his life story.

And, he's going to pay me
for it.

Huh? Wow, can't beat that!

When?

In a bit.

For a few weeks.

All right.

♪ You're head and shoulders ♪

♪ above the rest ♪

♪ Head and shoulders ♪

♪ Oh, you're the best ♪

♪ Oooh, every time I kiss
you make my temp... ♪

Yeah.

It's Charles.

What the hell is going on?

Kobe! Smokes up the court!

He's on fire, he can't
be stopped.

He shoots!

Oh, ho, ho, and he
completely fails.

Ready or not, here comes
some raspberry lemonade.

Charles found the email that,

that I sent you
and went berserk.

He says that he's,
he's gonna track down

Tammy's number at work
and tell her everything.

Maybe this is a good thing.

Maybe this is how we're going
to finally be together

and, and finish the mission.

Maybe.

Or maybe it's the demon
who hijacked your husband,

bearing his teeth.

Because that's what demons do,

right before they make
their move.

Move?

We won't know until it happens.

Is Alex with you,
to watch over you?

He's in San Tan Valley,
about 30 minutes away.

Okay good, keep him close.

What do we do now?

We keep praying.

The answers will come.

I'll call you later, okay?

I love you.

I love you too.

Here, sweetie.

Oh, thank you.

Aww.

Tylee!

JJ!

School bus is here.

Let's go!

Charles.

Show us your hands.

It's okay. It's okay.

I'm the one who called 911.

I don't have any weapons.

My brother-in-law was coming
at me with a bat.

Sit down.

So you got in an argument?
What was it over?

My sister.

He was getting physical with her

and my niece came out
with her bat

and he takes the bat away
from her

and I step in and tell
my niece to separate

and my sister leaves
with my niece and nephew.

Well, how long ago did
they leave?

Twenty minutes?

And then he's, he's coming back
at me and he's got the bat

and I'm like,
what are you doing?

And we're in the living room
and I turned around

and he hit me in the back
of the head

so I went to the room
where I've got my gun.

Thank you.

Officer, this is my brother.

Stay right there, please.

Yeah?

I told him to drop the bat
and he wouldn't

and then he came at me
with the bat again,

after he had already hit me
in the head, see?

So, I shot him to stop him.

This is your house, ma'am?

Yeah.

You're aware that your husband
is deceased?

Wow.

I live on this totally
quiet street

and it's like, hey neighbors!

You know how I found out
Charles had died?

Lori texted.

She texted one of Charles' sons
to let him know

his Daddy was gone
and he called us.

That's how I found out
that Charles was dead.

And they bought self-defense.

Seriously?

Charles was a college
baseball star.

If he'd hit Alex with a bat
there'd be a whole lot more

than a little dab of blood
on the back of his head.

Hey beauty.

Your vision was true, Chad.

Charles is gone.

Gone where?

Gone forever.

Struck down by the hand of God.

What hand... was that?

You were right.

Charles went full zombie.

He tried to kill Alex
so Alex had to shoot him.

I told you he was
my greatest protector.

We're all blessed to have him.

to be happy.

To celebrate his life.

Five hours after he died?

Yeah. He was already dead.

The only thing that died
was the demon inside of him.

Mom!

Where's Dad?

Like I told you honey,
he's in California, working.

Hey big guy!

Want to go hunt some man-eating
sharks in the pool?

My Dad's not dead.

He's just out,
working in California.

That's right J.

Shark time?

Uh-oh!

Uh-oh! Uh-oh!

Uh-oh!!

He's gonna get you!

Mom!

Mom, Mom, Mom!

♪ The best thing
for you... ♪

Hello, yes, hi.

I'm calling about my late
husband's policy.

It's Charles Vallow,
V-A-L-L-O-W.

That's right.

Yes, I'm just wondering
what paperwork you need

before I receive the payout?

No, that's, that's impossible.

Can you check again?

Well, I don't care
how certain you are,

just check again!

Did Lori know that
the beneficiary

of the million dollar policy had
been switched from her to you?

Sadly, she did not.

If she had, my brother
might still be alive.

Chad?
Chad, are you there?

Oh, yeah, just a second.

Look, I, I have kids
to support and,

and Charles left me nothing,
just rent to pay on the house.

His sister gets everything,
it's not fair.

It's going to be okay.

It is just the pieces,

moving on the board the way
they're supposed to be.

You're free now, right,
to move up here?

Why can't you just come
down here?

JJ, he, he's in
the perfect school.

I don't want to turn his whole
world upside down.

Well, you know I'm supposed
to be in Idaho.

There are some townhouses
a mile from here.

The kids will have room to play

and I'll get to see you
all the time.

Well, I'm sure Tammy
would love that.

Remember my vision,

that both of our spouses
will pass away.

Well Charles is gone now,
shouldn't we have faith?

How could I afford
to move there,

what am I going to live on?

Once God sees fit
to call Tammy home,

we'll have the money we need

to live on and to carry out
the mission.

Insurance?

Yeah.

Okay, well when, when is this
all supposed to happen?

Well, the visions haven't
shown me that.

Yeah, well what a surprise,
Chad.

Look, I, I love you but I don't
want crumbs of you.

I want the whole cake.

I will follow you anywhere,

when we can actually
be together.

But until then, I don't
know, okay?

I don't know anything.

Hey.

I'm sorry to call so early.

It's okay.

Lori, if you did come up,
all right, just theoretically,

how long would it take you

to clear out of Arizona
and hit the road?

I don't know.

Um, a month?
Maybe three weeks?

God sent me a vision.

Clear as a bell.

In less than two weeks
Tammy will die in a car crash.

By the time you got here,
I'd be free.

No, it's my last year
in high school

and I want to graduate
with my friends!

And how could you do this to JJ?

Right after
his Dad died?

Honey, when the earthquake hits,

the safest place to be
is Rexburg, Idaho.

You know that's what
God told Chad.

Says Chad.

Tylee, all we want

is for you and JJ to be safe
with the whole family.

I'm going too.

Same here.

It'll be like we never
went anywhere.

Wherever we all are together,
that's home.

Hey bud, oh, that is so good!

Hey, how did you get
so messed up so quickly.

Mom!

Don't "mom" me.

You know, when I had my salon,

people would pay me a $100

to do what you are getting
for free.

Dad didn't die.

He's just working in California.

That's right, bud.

His hair is fine the way it is.

Come here.

How long is the drive up there?

Hey, guys. Hi.

Hey munchkins, how are ya doing?

Hi, hi, hi.

Kids, go play inside, right now.

Need to talk to Daddy.

What's with the boxes?

I want a divorce.

I can't be with you anymore.

Come on, Lanie, what the hell?

Chad told me you've gone dark.

Oh, my...

He saw it in a vision.

You can have the house,
whatever you want,

as long as you don't try to get
in the way of the mission.

Hey.

Hey.

I'm actually here,
can you believe it?

Wow.

Are you okay?

Oh, God. How can I even
ask that?

I am so sorry, you must be crazy
with the funeral

and your kids must be so upset.

Are you there?

I'm here.

It didn't happen, did it?

Not yet.

Look, I know that
I said two weeks

but, you know, God goes
at his own pace.

How stupid am I?

How many times am I
going to let you dangle

"oh baby, we'll be together
soon" in front of my eyes.

Lori.

No, maybe you're just a guy
who has figured out

how to cheat on his wife

and keep his girlfriend
hanging on a string,

or maybe you just hate me.

Mom, how's Dad going
to find us

when he comes home
from California?

'Cause we're going to tell him
where we are.

I'm going to FaceTime
and tell him.

No, you're not, not right now.
He's very busy.

Just for a second?

No, JJ, please. No.

I want to.

Hold on a second.

- JJ.
- I'm going to.

- JJ, give me the iPad!
- I'm not going to!

- Tylee!
- I'm not going to!

- I'm not going to!
- Not this time, Mom.

JJ!

You break it, you fix it.

JJ! Get back down here!

- No!
- JJ!

No!

I need to see you, right now.

I hate that I can't hate you,
because I should.

Maybe we shouldn't see each
other, right now.

Maybe I need to stop being
a god and just be a mom.

Please.

Can you just say
that you're right,

go be with your children,

I love you, we'll be together
when it's right,

so I can turn around
and I can go home?

What?

Why are you looking at me
like that?

Oh, Lori.

There's something that I haven't
wanted to tell you.

Something in a vision
that I had,

that I kept hoping was a lie
sent by the adversary.

And I know that I have
to tell you what it was,

that I'm commanded to.

What?

For once I just want
to disobey it.

What?

What is it?

Tylee and JJ need help.

Their beautiful souls
need to be freed

from this limbo
that they're trapped in.

Limbo? What, what are you
talking about, limbo?

You are the best mom
that I have ever known.

And you love Tylee and JJ
with all your heart,

but they're not Tylee
and JJ anymore.

They have been taken over
by alien spirits.

They've gone dark.

How's everything in
the new house, honey?

Do you like Idaho?

The trees are different.

Really?

What kind of trees
they have there?

Come on.

Goodnight Mamaw and Papaw.

Goodnight Angel Face.
I love you to pieces.

Love you!

Time to brush and get to bed,
okay?

Uh...

Hey honey, Alex, Lanie and I
are going to go to church,

so keep an eye on JJ, okay?

Did you entirely forget

that I told you I was going
to Gloria's?

Oh, I am so sorry.

I really need to go
to church tonight.

You can do Gloria's
another night.

I finally make a friend up here,
like you keep telling me to,

and I don't feel
like cancelling.

You don't feel like it?

No, I don't!

You are a member
of this household.

So are you.

So you can stay home
with JJ tonight,

'cause I'm not.

Oh my God, it's true.

What's true?

You're not you anymore.

The real Tylee has been killed.

That is insane!

The truth is never insane.

Mom!

You're the one
that's not you anymore.

And I don't know what kind of
screwed up spell

this guy has on you

but I know that
you're still in there.

My real mom.

The mom that I love.

Can you hear me?

This is really me.

No, no it's not.

And you have to wake up.

You need to snap out of this.

Oh, my God.
He's right.

I see it.

Tylee is, is gone.

Her body has been taken over
by a dark spirit.

No way mom!
No way!

Not me.

Good morning, honey.

Did you have a good time
at Gloria's?

Like you care.

I do care. Very much.

Hey, it's gonna be okay up here.

Idaho's not so bad.

But you know what's
two hours away,

Yellowstone National Park.

♪ There were
eight in the bed ♪

♪ and the little one said... ♪

♪ Roll over,
roll over! ♪

♪ So they rolled over
and one fell out.. ♪

♪ And there were seven
in the bed ♪

♪ and the little one said.. ♪

♪ Roll over... ♪

How does it go?

And God showed Nephi,
wickedness of the Nephites

whom he was called on
to destroy.

And Nephi was sad
because of their wickedness.

Because he was
a good person.

Just like you.

Isn't that what Chad said?

That you're a God, with great
and fearsome powers?

There it is kids,

if you don't document it,
it didn't happen,

so, you know the drill.

Let's do this.

Ready?

You guys wanna see?

That's pretty good.

You look so handsome.

Hey, Tylee!

Where's Tylee?

She's at college, bud.

She had to leave too early
to say goodbye,

but she wanted me to tell you
she loves you

and she's gonna come back and
visit as soon as she can, okay?

Okay.

How about I rustle us up
some pancakes?

Hm? Would you like that?

Okay.

Let's get you to class JJ,

got lots of good stuff planned
for today.

My sister's in college.

That's very exciting.

My Dad's working in California.

That's exciting too.

Maybe today we can look at
some pictures of California

and you can see
where your dad is.

Come on JJ, you don't want
to hold up your whole class.

Your friends are waiting
for you.

Bye Angel.

Goodbye Mom.

Well, I've had
an interesting morning.

Thought I should burn all
the limb debris by the fire pit.

While I did so, I spotted a big
raccoon along the fence,

hurried and got my gun.

Got close enough that one shot
did the trick.

He is now in our pet cemetery.

Fun times.

Glad you
took care of it.

I went up there, uh,
20th of September,

to do a podcast.

You can't imagine the stress
I've been under,

with the move and everything.

I just kept thinking,

when Melanie gets here
it will all be fine.

Melanie is my rock.

I hope this is ok,
it's Tylee's room.

Where is she?

College.

BYU Idaho.

What? But...
Congratulations!

Doesn't she still have
her senior year?

She got her GED.

Lori, that's huge.
Why didn't you tell me?

It's just been so busy.

But look, get comfortable,
make yourself at home,

then come on downstairs,

we'll have dinner
and plan the show.

- Okay.
- Okay.

It was
the weirdest thing.

There was a room
with no college stuff,

no books, no favorite
stuffed animals,

no posters, nothing.

A room with nobody in it.

And what Lori told me about JJ.

I just, I can't believe that.

How does a sweet seven-year-old
boy go dark?

Adversary is cunning
and relentless.

He can poison any soul
he wants to.

Okay, JJ seems like
normal JJ to me.

Maybe you're right.

Of course I'm right.

Maybe Chad didn't hear
what he thought he heard?

God has a pretty good record

of making himself clear to Chad.

Mom!

These pieces aren't
coming apart.

Let me see.

Oh, that looks like a job
for Uncle Alex.

Sure.

I'll just start by saying
that I am a personal witness

to the resurrected Jesus Christ.

Like Melanie,

I have had the love of Jesus
Christ wash over me.

I no longer have
to sleep very much

because I am constantly
woken by angels

who are giving me instructions
on how to further the work.

JJ, hey, what's going on?

JJ?

Where's my suitcase?

My iPad's in it!

I want to FaceTime Tylee.

I will help you when I'm done,
I promise.

Where's my iPad?!
I can't find it!

Where's my iPad?!

Okay, let's pick it up from
"the time is now."

What did you do
with my iPad?

Time to Worry Up
podcast number 12,

Lori Vallow testimony,
take three, pick up.

Where is it?
Must find my...

The time is now.

Mom?!

He is coming...

I want Tylee!
I want Tylee! I want Tylee!

He is preparing us.

JJ!

I want to find my suitcase!

I will help you find it when
I am done with the podcast!

Mom!

You're, you're doing great,
Lori.

I want to talk
to Tylee!

Just pick up where you left off.

I can't find my iPad.

If this is resonating with you,

it is because you are a warrior,

and you have a lot
of work to do,

and it is a mighty work.

Preparing a people is what
we're trying to do.

I always said to God,

I said I just want to walk
down the road

and have your love
exude off of me.

I want the dark
and the terrible ones

to depart at the thought of
my coming down the road

because they are so scared.

JJ!

I'm so sorry, Tylee.
I'm so sorry.

It's okay.

Hey, hey, hey!
Come here.

It's okay. It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay. It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay. It's gonna be okay.

Are you sure?

He's finally getting acclimated.
He's making friends.

There's been so much upheaval
in his life with the move

and his father's death.

Which is exactly why
I think homeschooling

is the best option for him
right now, but thank you.

Come on, Angel.

Say goodbye to Louise.

Bye Louise.

So, suddenly JJ and Tylee
aren't around anymore.

There's Halloween,
there's Thanksgiving, no kids?

Did you ask where they were?

Lori told me that Kay and Larry
were planning to kidnap JJ,

so she was protecting them.

When it's safe,
she'll bring them back,

which I know is all she wants
in the world.

What are you seeing
with those amazing blue eyes.

A beach on Kauai,
where I used to live.

I want to take you there.

The air feels like velvet
and the water is the color of...

The color of what?

No, it's too silly.

Well, I promise I won't laugh.

What's it the color of?

Mouthwash.

You promised!

Sounds beautiful.

Sounds like the perfect place
to get married.

Do you like diamonds?

No.

They're too hard and cold.

If I were ever to have another
wedding ring,

I would want it to be malachite.

Why?

Because it has the power to
break down outworn patterns

and open the heart
to unconditional love.

Hey Kay, how're you guys doing?

We're fine.

We want to talk to JJ.

Well, I'm sorry, but-

Out right now?

Five weeks of this, it's enough!

I don't know why you're
getting so upset.

He's been very busy with school
and his new friends up here

but he'll call you
as soon as he can.

Last week you said he was
with friends in Arizona.

Well, he came back.

Look, honestly, Kay,
if there was a problem

don't you think I would let
his Mamaw know?

Where is he, Lori?

He'll call you as soon
as he can.

I promise.

Gotta go. A million things
to do here.

Bye!

God has sent me a vision
of the destiny

that he has chosen
for each of us.

Ephesians teaches us,

it's just when enemies
surround us

that we need to come closer
to the spirit.

When they surround us?

On all sides.

Those who oppose
the work of God.

I love that passage.

You know what it says
in Scripture?

Stand in holy places
and be not moved

until the day the Lord comes.

For behold, he comes quickly

Read to us, Alex.
Chapter 6, verse 12.

"Put on the full armor of God

"so that you can take your stand
against the Devil's schemes."

It was my ex-wife Lanie
and her crazy family.

Why would they want to kill you?

Half a million dollars
in insurance money?

Either that or they think
that I'm in league with Satan

to prevent the second coming
of Jesus Christ, take your pick.

Someone tried to shoot him?

Is he okay?

He wasn't harmed at all,
Mrs. Boudreaux.

Can you tell me where you were
this Wednesday morning?

With my aunt,
right here in Rexburg.

I can give you her number if
you want to speak with her.

If we have any more questions
we'll call you back.

Thank you ma'am.

Okay, okay.

Tom! Alice!

I woke up and she was lying
like this.

She was already cold.

Come on. Come on.

The world has lost a loved
and loving mother.

An adored and devoted daughter.

A friend to children of all ages
and animals of all kinds.

And I have lost the greatest,
best friend and partner in life

that a man could ever dream of
or hope for.

Dear heavenly father,

we are grateful for the life
of Tammy Daybell.

May peace be with her
and all of us.

As we continue on.

Amen.

- Hey.
- Hey!

How are you doing?

What are you hearing
from the kids?

Everyone's great.

I just landed in Kauai
with Chad.

Kauai?

To get married.

Can't wait to tie
the knot

and start having sex
three times a day.

Lori, Tammy just...

It's been what, two weeks?

Chad and I were bound for
marriage in this lifetime

well before he and Tammy met.

The angel Moroni married us
and Jesus Christ stood witness.

A call came in from Arizona
about a Jeep Wrangler

mixed up in attempted homicide
down there.

And that's how twisted
this whole case is.

Before we knew anything
about missing kids,

we already had eyes
on the family.

So that's
Lanie Boudreaux.

Ex-wife of Brandon who
was shot at in Arizona.

And the blonde with the suntan
is her aunt Lori

and that's her uncle Alex.

Who shot Lori's fourth husband
to death.

And the guy in the Hawaiian
shirt with the big smile?

Husband number five.

Welcome to planet Vallow.

Excuse me.
Oh, excuse me.

My name is Kay Woodcock.
I'm here from Louisiana

and I need to talk to a
detective about a missing child,

possibly two missing children.

I don't know if I can get you
to a detective immediately,

but if I can gather
some information-

There's no time!

The children's mother
is hiding something.

I'm getting worried
about what that is.

And the mother's name would be?

Lori Vallow.

How, how do you spell that?

We have not heard from JJ
in three months.

More like four months.

Isn't there some way
that you could arrest her?

Some way to make that girl talk?

What do I arrest her for?

Well, look at the whole picture.

Lori meets Chad Daybell.

And then my brother
Charles dies.

My beautiful brother
Charles dies

and then she moves to Idaho
where Chad is.

The police in Arizona
found your brother's death

to be self-defense.

Which is right when I knew
that I was on my own

so I did my own diggin'.

I got into my poor murdered
brother's email

and this is what I found.

Look right there,
on October 2nd,

Lori bought herself
a wedding ring, online.

That was nine days
before Tammy Daybell died.

Detective Quantrell
with the Rexburg police.

We're here with social
county services,

do a welfare check
on minor children.

Is Lori Vallow at home, please?

Not, not at the moment.

And you are?

Alex Cox.
Lori's brother.

Uh, Chad Daybell, a friend.

Can we speak with JJ Vallow?

He's at his Grandma and
Grandpa's in Louisiana.

Really?

Yup.

Well, that's unlikely,

given that its JJ's Grandma
and Grandpa in Louisiana

who asked for the welfare check.

May I have a number at
which I can reach Lori?

I don't have it.

Do you?

I don't.

Sorry.

I've just met her a few times
through Alex.

You've only met your wife
a few times?

She might be at
Alex's townhouse.

It's next door.

Hm.

I'm so glad you guys
are checking in.

It means if anything were
actually wrong

you would be right here
to handle it.

But nothing's wrong.

The children are totally fine.

Can we speak to them?

Well, you can try.

Tylee's at BYU Idaho,
she just started there.

She's crazy busy.

JJ is in Arizona with my
best friend, Melanie Gibb.

Hm.

Can we give Melanie a call?

Not right this second.

They're at the movies.

She's taking him to see
Frozen 2.

What time's the movie over?

I don't know.

Kay put you up to this,
didn't she?

She's been fighting me over
JJ since my husband died.

Yeah.

I'll bet she didn't tell you
that he was trying to kill me,

for the $2 million life
insurance he had on me?

Everybody is causing me trouble.

Looks like I'm a suspect
but I'm not.

I'm a good person.

What is your connection
to Chad Daybell?

I know him.

He's friends with my brother.

Excuse me, please.

Well, all right.

Thank you for speaking with us.

What are you going to do now?

Well, I am going to see if I can
get ahold of these kids.

Make sure they're all right.

Okay.

Why would the police
be calling me?

We want you to tell them
that JJ's with you.

I'm confused.

Isn't he with Kay
and Larry?

No.

They want to kidnap him
and I can't let that happen.

So when they call,

tell them that you took JJ
to go see Frozen 2

then go to a movie theatre,

take a picture with a kid,

show them and say here,
this is JJ.

Take a picture of what kid?

Any kid.

You'll do that for us,
right Melanie?

It was like this
terrible feeling

in the pit of my stomach.

About what they were asking
me to do.

Did you tell the police
you'd been asked to lie?

So, JJ isn't
with you?

No, he was here but he went
back to his mom's in Idaho.

When?

Three months ago.

Mrs. Daybell this is
the Rexburg Police.

We have a warrant to search
these premises.

Mrs. Daybell!

We got in
and the place looked like

they did a midnight move.

They definitely left in a hurry.

They didn't leave much behind

but we did find a contract
for a storage unit.

This is October 2nd,
the day she gets the keys.

Yeah, because who doesn't need
to keep a spare tire

and back seat in
their storage unit?

Wait.

How was Lanie Boudreaux's
husband shot at in Arizona?

Rear window in a Jeep Wrangler.

And what do Wranglers
have bolted on their asses?

Blocking the window?

Spare tires.

And if you wanted to make
shooting out of a rear window

ever easier...

You take out the back seat.

So who did the shooting?

October 2nd.

The same day Brandon
was shot at.

And who's not in the video?

Big brother Alex.

Known for his use
of hand weapons.

If we knew where he was.

How are you?

Not good.

I'm feeling not so good.

I love you.

So where do we go?

What do we do?

David knew when
his enemies were too close
and too strong.

He knew when it was time
to hide from King Solomon

in the caves of Ein Gedi.

Oh, no, no...

Stay.

Hello sweet Melanie.

Hi Chad, hey Lori.

Hang on, let me put you
on speaker.

How's it going, babe?

Uh, I'm doing pretty good,
thanks.

I was wondering,
where are you guys?

Are you in Idaho?

Uh, we're nowhere near Idaho.

I wanted to ask you a question,
if you don't mind, Lori.

Of course, honey.

I was wondering why did you tell
the police that JJ was with me?

I just needed to use somebody,
so I wouldn't have to tell them

where he really was in case
they were gonna tell Kay.

The police are working with her
in some sort of dark capacity.

Lori, I called Alex
and I asked him

where, like where JJ was

and he said that I did not
want to know

and that he could not be found.

So what does that mean?

I don't know why he would
say that

but I promise you I've done
nothing wrong in this case.

I believe you have been
very deceived by Satan.

I believe he has tricked
you and I just,

I don't believe that what
you're doing is correct.

I mean, Tammy dies,

and your husband's dead
and now JJ's missing.

It just doesn't sound like
God's plan to me.

I don't know what
your intention is,

with this phone call,

why you're being controversial

or if you're recording this
for the police or whatever.

Woah.

I know these conspiracy
theories, Melanie,

and the truth is that Tammy
had been getting

weaker and sicker and,

and I begged her
to go to the doctor.

Her heart was failing her,

like she was physically
falling apart

and she hates doctors and,

and she passed away and
that's how it happened.

Jesus protects me.

And he will protect me against
these accusations as well

So when we are both standing up
there with Jesus Christ,

you tell me if I was lying
or not.

Was Chad's wife sick?
Getting weak?

I heard her sister said
she was training for a 5K.

Not guessing there was
an autopsy?

The funeral was right
after she passed.

Rexburg authorities
today exhumed the body

of Tammy Daybell,

whose recent death is now being
investigated by local police.

Her death is being connected
to the disappearance

of JJ Vallow and Tylee Ryan.

Arizona called, Alex Cox
is back there now.

Your flight's in an hour.

Were they afraid Alex
would crumble?

My uncle Alex's health
was failing.

We could see him getting sicker.

The medical report came back
clearly stating

blood clot in the lungs,

which I'm assured can
only happen naturally.

Why does everybody
think the worst?

The FBI will be assisting
the Rexburg police

and the Fremont County Sheriff's
office in the search.

We ask for the public's help,

both in bringing these children
to safety

and in locating the children's
mother, Lori Vallow.

If anybody has information
regarding...

Lori Daybell is
a devoted mother

and resents assertions
to the contrary.

We look forward to addressing
the allegations

once they have moved
beyond speculation and rumor.

The attorney says he's
in contact with the couple

but has no information
regarding the whereabouts

or the welfare of
two of their children.

Where is he, Kay?
Where's my JJ?

JJ Vallow's grandparents
believe he is still alive

and they're offering
a $20,000 reward

for information that leads to
him and his sister, Tylee Ryan.

The grandparents say they don't
even discuss the D word

and they're asking you
to help find the kids.

How was
Lori with the kids,
her mothering instinct?

When JJ, when JJ was younger,

you couldn't ask for
a better mother.

She loved JJ.

And we don't know what caused
her, her conversion.

You don't go from being
mother of the year

to a special needs child to a,

to a person who won't even
say where he is.

I just wish someone would
explain that to me.

I don't want to hold hate
in my heart.

My life's too short.

All lives are short.

Child welfare
authorities have given
Lori Vallow

until January 30th
at 5:00 PM Idaho time.

That's 2:00 PM in Hawaii,
five days from today,

to produce the children or face
charges of contempt

and child abandonment.

Got something.

Autopsy on Tammy?

Not yet, but we dug up a chatty
text from Chad out of her phone.

10:00 AM, September 9th.

Tells her he's having
quite the day.

He was burning some limbs
out in the field

and had to shoot a raccoon,

so he buried it in
the pet cemetery.

And in your fertile mind, that's
getting us a search warrant.

Texts came in 20 hours
after Yellowstone.

And raccoons are nocturnal.

The behavior of furry-tailed
mammals is not probable cause.

Look, she has six hours
until she turns up the kids,

or not.

Lori Vallow's
time is up.

Do you have a statement?

We just filled for legal
guardianship of JJ

so that when he is found,
he'll come home to us.

Not be handed over to the State.

Do you believe Lori is going

to produce the children
in three hours?

We are holding onto our faith
that the threat of prison

will scare her into it, yes.

Family and friends
countdown to today's deadline.

Will the search for these
missing kids be over.

Lori Vallow currently living
in Kauai must respond.

Today is the deadline to hear
from Lori Vallow...

And for her to show the children
to the authorities in Idaho,

but last we saw her,
she was half a world away.

Lori.

Lori?

There she is now.

Lori Vallow-Daybell
has been arrested

on a Madison County
Idaho warrant

and is being held at Kauai
Police Department's cellblocks.

Chad Daybell is not in custody
and as yet,

there is no indication as to
the whereabouts of JJ and Tylee.

Yes, there's some relief
knowing she's in custody,

extradited back to Idaho
to face justice.

Are you contemplating
the possibility

that the children
may not be alive.

We are contemplating
all sorts of scenarios

where they are very much alive.

Possibly with some doomsday
associates of Lori's and Chad's?

Wherever they are,

I swear that as long
as there is breath in my body

I am never giving up hope.

Time to meet
with your lawyer.

Mrs. Vallow.

Daybell.

Yes, forgive me.

I hope they've been treating
you well here.

I'm thrilled to be here.

All right then, let's take
a look at what we have here.

You're being charged with
two counts of felony desertion

and non-support of
dependent children,

resisting or obstructing
officers,

criminal solicitation
to commit a crime

and willful disobedience
of court order or process.

Do you understand these charges?

Yes.

And it's all going
to be cleared up

because I've done nothing wrong.

What?

We cracked Alex's cellphone.

On September 9th, the day
after Tylee's last seen,

it pings at Lori's townhouse
from 2:42AM until 3:37.

And at 9:21 he's at Chad
Daybell's property,

around here,

and he stays right
in that area until 11:39AM.

What time did Chad send
the text to Tammy

about burning limbs and shooting
and burying a raccoon?

In case Tammy noticed something
burned and buried.

11:53.

Hi babe.

Hello.

Are you okay?

No.

They're searching the property.

What do you want me to do?

Pray?

What?

Yeah.

It looks like I have a...

a call from somebody else,
who I need to talk to.

Okay babe.

I love you.

Should I try to call
you again later?

You can try.

Yeah.

Okay babe.
I love you.

Love you.

Goodbye.

Pet cemetery.

It was dug up six months ago.

Not more, not much less.

Pings within 20 yards
on the night of the 23rd.

About 11 hours after
the last sight of JJ.

Alex.

Unless he's got some
other reason to be here

on this exact spot,
on the exact day.

- James!
- Yeah.

Over here.

Pet cemetery.

Searched the property after
pings from the cellphone

of Lori's brother, Alex Cox,
indicating he had been there

shortly after each of
the children disappeared.

Kobe Bryant dies
in a fiery crash.

There's mass
shootings everywhere.

And what's the lead story?

My husband and I.

We're bigger than everything.

Daybell, your attorney's here.

Wish he would give me
more warning.

Can I have one?

You making bail?

I hope so.

Hopefully this is worth
a million bucks.

It's crazy how much trust we
have to put in our lawyers.

Not crazy for me.

At my last probation,
which is like my last life,

I had an affair with an angel.

And the child that
we had together,

is my lawyer.

That's why I chose him.

He's my beautiful,
blue-eyed boy.

So I know I can trust him
with my life.

Listen, Lori, I wasn't there,

I don't know and I don't judge,

but you gotta see
your kids buried

on your husband's property.

They could be going for murder
any second,

so it's time to cut the crazy

and get serious
with your lawyer,

so you can help him help you.

I'm just so proud
that he has blue eyes.
