Okay, all right.

Look, I think the problem here
is that you're just--

You're not understanding--
you're not understanding

How these guys are looking
at you, right?

Because, like, I know you think
you're being nice.

I know you think they're
being nice, but they're not.

-They're being...
-[siren wailing]

Right?

You need--you need
to pull over.

-Why? It's not for us.
-Brian, you need to pull over.

There's no way it's for us,
because I'm not--

The police--it is for us.
He's right behind us.

-Brian, pull over!
-Don't grab the wheel!

-Pull over!
-I am gonna pull over!

-Pull over then! It's the law!
-Yes! I'm pulling over!

Go ahead and turn the vehicle
off for me.

Go ahead and set your keys
on the dash for me, okay?

What's your guys' names?

-Gabby.
-Brian laundrie.

Gabby? Brian? Okay.

What's going on?
How come you're crying?

♪

Crowd: Ooh!

What, uh, what school
you going to?

L.I.U.

C.W. Post.

Hi! Oh, my gosh!

So nice to see you!

That's cool.
Living that--that city life.

You'd love it, I'm telling you.

Just come visit me
any weekend night.

-You'd wish you went to college.
-Ah, I'll think about it.

[indistinct conversations]

Yeah.

Brian?

Oh, yeah. Bye!

[chuckles]

Brian.

Holy crap. Gabby.

Hi.

I did not expect
to see you here.

You know this loser?

As a matter of fact, I do.

We were really good friends
in high school.

Yeah, we were.

Wow. Uh, it's just crazy.
It's been a minute.

But I am, um, like,
really glad to see you.

Yeah, I'm gladder--gladder.

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

[both chuckle]

I mean, you totally ghosted me.

Mm, there's no way
that I ghosted you.

I mean, like, why the hell
would I? Look at you.

Please, I haven't heard from you
in, like, two years.

You know, I don't know
if you've heard,

But they have these things
called cellphones

Where friends can keep in touch,

And I didn't even get,
like, an emoji.

Oh, an emoji. Okay.
Huh. Interesting.

'cause I...Yep. I didn't get
an emoji from you either,

So...These things work
both ways.

Fair enough.

I don't know. I mean...

I graduated,
and you had another year, and...

I-I thought you were
into what's his face.

Steve?

Yeah. [deep voice] steve.

[laughs] steve is gay.

-For real?
-Yes, for real.

We were just friends.

Oh. Then I'm just an...Idiot.

Yeah. I don't know about that,

But we are definitely not
making the same mistake twice.

[touchpad clicking]

[messaging whooshes]

"gabby, I'll pick you up
Friday at 7."

Mm-hmm.

[laughs] all right.

[dance music playing]

[grunts]

Oh, you gotta be kidding me!

I had no idea how bad
you suck at this.

Ow. What?

Do you want me to go
get the guy,

Have him put up the bumpers
for you?

Oh, you keep going like this,
and I will start crying,

And then I will never
share my talents with you.

Oh, boy, tell me
about these talents.

Oh, my god.
Where do I even start?

Did you know
that I can solve the maze

On the back of any menu?

Wow. You're, like,
a super genius.

That's what I'm telling you.

[giggles]

-Oh!
-Oh!

That's what I'm telling ya.

-Touché.
-[chuckles]

What?

I just, uh, pummeled you,
by the way.

Oh, okay. Well, I've played
this game twice,

So cut me a little slack,
young lady.

Oh, okay. [laughs]

Well...One thing is for sure.

Yeah.

I've actually been thinking
a lot about, like, social media,

You know, like,
being an influencer.

Oh, yeah? You wanna be like
a kardashian?

Ew! Not like that. Like, um...

Like a real-life influencer,
you know?

Like, how to live
a happy, healthy life.

That sounds great.

Who knows what the future holds?
[chuckles]

Well, I already know
what my future holds.

-So...
-Yeah?

Yeah. It's, uh...

Spending as much time
as I possibly can around you.

Gabby, you wanna know
the real reason

Why I didn't call you
after high school?

It was...It was too hard
to just be friends.

Well...

Why wouldn't I have gone out
with you?

[scoffs] are you kidding me?

You could have gone out
with anybody.

Oh, stop.

No, I'm serious.
Gabby, you're perfect.

[chuckles]

Well...

We perfect girls
need dates, too, you know.

[chuckles]

Wy family is a little nutty.

For some mysterious reason,
everyone seems to get along,

So I've got my mom
and my stepdad jim

And then my dad
and my stepmom tara.

So two moms and two dads.

Right. Right.
I think I'm just gonna--

I'm gonna say that I get it.

So what is it you said
you did again, brian?

Um, landscaping, mostly,
these days. Yeah.

So you mow yards.

Uh, yeah. Um...
Well, I mean, there's a little

More than that 'cause I also
work at the nursery, so...

Oh. And is that part-time?
Full-time?

Uh...Part-time. Yeah.
I'm still--

I'm still figuring it out,
you know?

Yeah, you know, like me.

[chuckles]

[crickets chirping]

So, you wanna pour it in here?

-Here you go.
-Oh. Thank you.

[exhales deeply]
how great is he?

Yeah. [clears throat]
I like him.

He seems like a...Nice guy.

I like him, too.

Yeah?
You guys getting serious?

I don't know.
I mean, like, what's serious?

I mean, I like him a lot.

Why? Do you think he's not,
like,

Getting-serious material?

Oh, watch out. The tea's hot.

No. I said I like him.

-And?
-[chuckles] what?

Mom.

[chuckles] nothing.

No, I just--
I think a guy his age

Should have a little bit more
of an idea

Of where he's going in life.
-Mom, you are such a gen-xer.

Yeah. Okay, so you don't?

Well...Brian's like me,
you know?

He takes life as it comes.

Why does he have to have
a retirement plan already?

It's just that sometimes when
they take life as it comes,

It never comes,
and I just wanna see you

With the right guy, is all.

Look, mom, brian is a relief
from the other guys I know.

I mean, he's not your typical
video games and beer bong bro.

[chuckles]

Yeah. I'll give you that one.

Hey...You're happy, I'm happy.

I'm happy.

-[chuckles] cheers.
-Cheers.

[crickets chirping,
dog barking in distance]

Whoa.

-Ooh!
-Oh!

Oh, I'm so sorry!

Ooh, did I hit you?

Because that was
a complete and total accident...

[whispers]
and you can't prove otherwise.

Okay. All right,
as long as you know that

That was your last one,
all right?

Okay. If that's your attitude,

Maybe I don't even want
this pillow. [gasps]

Okay, no. That--that actually--
that was an accident.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry!

-You are destroyed!
-Oh, no, no.

-You give?
-I give.

You give?

-No. Shh. [laughs]
-oh, sorry, sorry.

You don't wanna wake my stepdad
at 1 a.M.

Yep, I know. Ahh.

Might be for the best
to put me out of my misery.

[laughs] really?
Are you miserable?

I mean...I am,
if you gotta know.

[chuckles]
what are you talking about?

Okay, look... [clears throat]

Uh...The thing is, is...

I...Am...

Moving to florida.

What?

Yeah. Next month.

I-I don't want to, obviously.

But...Florida? Why?

Be--my parents are moving
down there,

And I have to go with them.
-Again, why?

Because...I don't have
any money, gabby,

Like, not enough to get
my own place.

And next month? Brian, when were
you going to tell me about this?

Look, this has been
killing me, all right?

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I...

Like, the last thing I wanna do
is leave you.

Yeah, well, then don't, okay?

Okay? We just...We just need
to think of a way

For you to stay here.

Well...I have thought
of a couple of things.

All right, well,
let's hear it.

If I thought I had a chance
in the world,

I would try to convince you
to move with me,

But that's--that's crazy.
I know that.

[sighs]

Why...

Why is that so crazy?

Because... [laughs]

I'm not gonna ask you
to uproot your entire life.

Well, I mean, maybe it's time.

You'd wanna live with me
and my parents in florida?

[laughs] sure. Why not?

You know, we'll--we'll both
go down there and--

And get jobs,
and if we're working,

We can get our own place
after a while.

You know, it'll be exciting.

Wait. Hold--I'm sorry. You...
You're--you'd come with me?

Well...Yeah.

I mean, I love you, brian.

I love you, gabby.

[laughs]

[gasps]

I really can't believe
we're on our way.

To florida?

You have been to florida.

Yeah, but I've never moved
to florida before.

I mean, come on. This is--
this is different.

Everyone we grew up with--
they are--

They're staying in long island.
We are doing what we said.

We're trailblazers, man.

[laughs] yeah, man. They're

At the supermarket with me,

Well, I know, but the pay is

Plus I get tips.

Yeah, but I thought the whole
point of us being down here

Was that we would be together,
right?

Well, babe, we're not
not together.

It's a good thing, brian.
I just--I found a new job.

You know, we can save more.
We can move out of here,

Give your parents
their house back.

Seriously, gabby,
don't take this job.

I'm--I mean, like,
guys are gonna come in there.

They're gonna come in

Come on. What's not to like?

It's got--it's got everything.

Well, it's a little...Small,

Gabby, we're two people. Like...

Yeah, but, like, it's really
close to the highway.

-It's pretty noisy. I'm...

So we just, you know,
we, like, close that.

See? There. It's better.
Come on.

This place--it checks, like,
every box.

I mean, we could fit a zillion
friends in this living room.

[sighs] yeah, what friends?

Well, I like it.

Um...No, I'm not feeling it.

[groans softly]

Hey, um...

What did you--what did you mean
by, "what friends?"

What?

The thing you just said.

Oh, well, just that
we don't have any friends

Down here, that's all.

Yeah, it's just, uh,
it was the way you said it.

And how did I say it?

Like I'm monopolizing
all of your time,

Like you're blaming me for that.

-[laughs]
-it felt ver--

Oh, my gosh. Read into it much?
No. I just...

You know, we...We just got here,
you know?

We haven't made any friends
down here yet.

That's all I'm saying.
I'm not blaming you.

Okay. Whatever. Screw it.
We'll find another place.

Well, brian, I didn't say--
I did-- [sighs]

Hey. What's up?

-Nothing. I'm fine.
-No, you're--

You're clearly upset.
What did I say?

I just...It's just we've seen,
like, a million apartments,

And none of them have been
good enough for you, so...

Look, I just don't want us to
get a place and then regret it.

Or maybe you don't wanna live
with me.

Maybe that's it, 'cause you
don't wanna work with me,

And you don't wanna live
with me, and now you're saying

That we don't have any friends,
so, like, what?

You're stuck with me?
What am I supposed to think?

You're supposed to think
that I'm picky,

And you are supposed
to take that as a compliment.

Okay?

-Okay.
-Come on.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I'm an idiot.

No. We all gotta release
the kraken sometimes.

[scoffs] I don't know why
I get like that,

But...You gotta admit, like,
we have seen a lot of places,

So I'll--I'l just...

This ridiculous covid.

And how are we ever supposed

Well, we don't need to invite
a thousand people, you know?

Like, we can do something small
with friends and family

Or, like, not even that,
you know?

What do you mean?

Well, we don't need
a big wedding, gabby.

We can do something, like,
just for us.

-We can go to city hall.
-What? No.

No, no, no, no, no. I'm--
I'm not getting married

At some courthouse wearing

In a bit, I think.

But, uh, we're gonna get back
to it while the sun's still up.

Okay? So I'll see you later.
Love you.

It's been a whole hour

Oh, yeah, you betcha.

Is it gonna be lit? Gonna be

Oh! It's gonna be, like,
so gold, brian.

That's great.
That's really, really great.

So why does it bother you
so much

If gabby has a good time?

Uh...Doesn't bother me.

I just--I'd like to see
my fiancée every now and again.

Oh, come on, brian.

You see gabby eight days a week.

She likes dancing.
You don't like dancing.

Like, mmm. Deal with it.

Hey, rose...

Who are you?

'cause there's me, brian,
and then there's gabby,

My fiancée,
and then there's you,

Rose, with the input.

Look, rose, I can't decide.

Yes, both cute. That one.
Put it on.

I don't know. We're upstairs.
Will you help me pick, please?

Put it on. I'll--I'll see
what matches. Try it on.

Are you sure? I have one with
flowers I think I like more.

-Oh, that's cute.
-Hmm.

Ids, ladies?

Oh. Uh...

[indistinct conversations]

That's weird.
My ids not in here. Sorry.

-One second.
-All right.

I'm sure you just left it
at home.

Yeah, but why would
I take it out at home? I...

Damn it.

How do you not get
what a violation that is?

It was just a prank.

No, it wasn't, brian.

You clearly didn't want me
to go anywhere without you,

So you steal my id?

No one said you couldn't go
with us.

Oh, and what, sit in the corner
and be bored all night?

-[scoffs] what?
-I-I, like--

So what, I-I can't hang out
with my friends now?

I--that's not--you can hang out
with whoever you want.

-Like, what do I care?
-[gasps] you say that!

Well...I mean, look,
I-I-I planned this whole night.

-Like, I made dinner.
-[sighs]

And last week, you know,

I wanted to go
to that comic thing,

But you--you had plans
with rose. Like--

Brian, you told me five minutes
before I was gonna leave.

I would have broken my plans
with a little notice.

[sighs]

[sighs]

Okay, I...

I'm sorry.

Okay? It was wrong.
I shouldn't have done it.

And...Look, it's right here.
See?

[sighs]

Brian...

I think maybe you need
to get back on your meds.

What? Wh--

I love you. I know you don't
like to talk about it,

But they put you on anxiety meds
for a reason.

No, no! This has nothing
to do with that.

Brian, this has everything
to do with this!

You stole my id. Doesn't that
seem a little paranoid to you?

Ugh! Goddamn it!

You--I--
you don't call me paranoid!

No, no, no, no, no!
You know I hate that word!

And you're just accusing it
against me!

[footsteps depart]

Hey.

I'm really sorry.

Come in.

Come on.

You don't have to apologize
to me.

It's not your fault.
You didn't do anything wrong.

[sighs]

What happened?

You know, you just say
the wrong word,

And he loses it.

Maybe I should clear out
half my closet for you

For every time brian has
one of his episodes.

[laughs]

No, I'm...I'm so sorry to keep
bugging you through this.

You're not bugging me.

I'm here anytime you need.

-Thank you.
-Mm-hmm.

You know, gabby,

I really don't get why you keep
putting up with this b.S.

I really don't.

[sighs] because, like, I know
you don't see it, but, like,

Like, most of the time he's like
a really great guy.

You know, like, 99% of the time
things are, like, really good.

It's just...He's got
this chemical imbalance and...

It's insane jealousy, gabby.

[laughs] well...Yeah,
but, like, you know,

Like, like, it wouldn't be
if we were married.

And--and he's--he's just
frustrated, you know?

Like, the world stopped,
and everything's on hold,

And we can't plan the wedding,

And I can't blame him for that,
you know?

'cause I'm not perfect either.

Love the car, love the car,
but...

I have something else in mind.

[singsongy] there she is!

Okay, so we bought her used,

And I've been sprucing it up
in my free time.

Wow. [laughs]
it looks, um...Yeah.

Looks cozy.

Well, we're not living in it.
We're living out of it.

And look,
it's got everything we need.

I built this cool, like,
bed-couch thing,

And then I put hooks

For everything we wanna
get to quickly,

These tables that
go up and down,

And then I'm gonna put
cubbies and houseplants.

There's even room for our tent
for when we wanna camp outside.

I mean, isn't this the coolest
thing you've ever seen?

Yes, it is very, very...
[clears throat] cool.

Yeah, there's, like, this whole
culture now called van life.

It's, like, actually
pretty popular.

People just, like, pack up
their life and hit the road.

But you're not planning
on living

The rest of your life this way,
though, right?

Wh-- can I just be young
for, like, a little while?

Okay. Okay. Yeah. I'm just...
Being a mom.

You go be young.

-Okay. I love you.
-I love you, too, sweetie.

Bye!

Hello, everybody.
Uh...I can sleep.

Hello, everybody.
Uh...I can't sleep.

It's really, really late.

I'm leaving for our trip
tomorrow,

And I am just so excited.

I mean, brian and I have no idea
what this trip is gonna be like,

And I think
that's the fun of it.

See you on the trail.

I can't believe you're gonna
leave me to fend for myself.

Come on. It's four months.

You're gonna take four months
in a 5-foot square box

With little bummer boy?

Oh, wow. You've really been
saving that one up for me, huh?

Just getting the right occasion
for it.

Look...We wanna spend
the rest of our life together.

And if we can't make it a couple
of months in close contact,

We're in big trouble.

This will be good for us.

-Okay. Just--
-yeah, whatever.

All right.
Let's hit the oregon trail!

-Whatever. Send me lots of pics.
-Duh.

-You're gonna facetime me.
-Whenever you want.

-Whenever I want?
-Yes.

-Okay.
-I promise.

-You have no say in that.
-I know.

Okay. I really love you.

-Okay, I'm gonna miss you.
-Okay.

-I'm gonna see you soon.
-Okay.

-Yeah.
-Yes.

You're gonna call me.
You're gonna facetime.

-Text me.
-All the things.

All the things. Mwah.

-I love you!
-Mwah. Love you.

-All right.

Well, it could be more perfect.
Please? One more.

One more. Really fast,

Hold up. Uh, are you ready?

Brian is just stretching,

Doing some...

Morning yoga.

Hello, hello, and good morning.

Um...It is really nice
and sunny today.

Me and brian just got up.

-I th--
-[taps keys]

Me and brian just...

[taps keys]

Me and brian just got up.

-And good morning.
-[taps keys]

What is that? Hmm?

This is for my blog.

You have a blog now?

Are you serious? Now you really
gotta start paying attention.

Oh, right. This is for your,
um...Influencer empire?

-Huh?
-Ha ha, yes, funny man.

I'm sharing our trip
with the world.

I thought you understood
van life.

Why would the world
care about our trip?

I mean, why would anybody?

Because it's cool. I've been
posting everything on instagram

Since we left.

I've got almost
a thousand followers.

Well, I hate
to burst your bubble,

But a thousand followers
on the internet is kinda sad.

Well, it's just getting started.

I mean, it wasn't even 200
a week ago,

And you know how
these things work.

Once you gain enough followers,
you can monetize.

Okay, well, not gonna count
our money just yet.

Brian, why are you trying
to discourage me?

Not trying to discourage you.
I'm just, like,

You know, trying to manage
your expectations.

Why would anybody wanna watch
our vacation pics?

Never mind.
You--you don't get it. [scoffs]

No, I totally get it.
We're #vanlifers. Yes!

Why don't you wanna expand
your life and grow, you know?

Like, instead of putting
my stuff down,

You should do your own thing.

Like your artwork. It's so good.
You should put that up online.

I don't wanna commercialize,
all right?

-That's...
-[sighs]

Okay. All right. Yeah.

Let's see. Let's see what
the legions of followers

Of gabby the great
have to say today.

Right?

[clicking keys]

Wow. Congratulations.

You've made
a virtual men's room wall.

[sighs] no.

No.

[sighs]

Yeah, why don't you dump
the cue ball?

[closes laptop]

Because I love the cue ball.

-Shut up.
-It's true.

Hair on men--
it's just, like, so over.

I can't tell you from the rock.

[chuckles]

-You done?
-Or jason statham?

-No.
-Or vin diesel or...

No, no, no, no.
[speaks indistinctly]

[laughs]

Babe, hey, that's cool, too,
but you know what?

I'll see you next time.
I'll see you next time. Yeah.

Hello. Wanna give your tongue
a treat?

Uh...Okay. [laughs]

Yeah. Here. Try this out.

-Thanks.
-Yeah.

Mmm! My god.

I want my whole life
to be like this peach.

-This is delicious.
-Yeah, yeah. Enjoy.

-Thanks.
-[laughs]

Make sure to check out
the rest of the market.

-Bye.
-Have a good one.

[sighs] can you please try not
to track dirt and sand

Into the van?

Um... [scoffs]

You know, we're camping
in the wilderness, gabby,

So, like, sand and dirt--
they're gonna happen.

It's just, I worked really hard
to make this a home.

Damnit, gabby.
It's just a van, all right?

So I don't understand why you
have to be so ocd.

-It's just a little dirt.
-You're in a great mood.

Well, yeah,
'cause I saw you flirting

With that guy back there.
-What? What guy?

The "oh, oh, mmm,
this peach is my life" guy.

-Oh, wait, the produce guy?
-Yeah.

He was just being friendly.
That's his job.

Oh, my god. So stupid. Really?

Like, I-I was right there!

I mean, like,
that's what guys do,

But you're just like,
"oh, everyone's so nice."

All those guys in here,
they're just being goofy.

You know,
what is wrong with you?

You always have to find
something to fight about!

Yeah, because I'm sick of this!

I'm not dealing with this
right now.

No! No, no, no.
You don't get to shut me out.

I have every right
to be pissed at you.

Let go of me.
I wanna get my laptop.

Why? So you can read more
comments about how hot you are?

-Brian.
-What?

Let go of me!

All right, we're gonna walk away
from each other right now

'cause you need to calm down.

[alarm chirps]

[scoffs] I wanna get in the van!

Well, you're not gonna,
all right?

Hey. Hey! Hey!

Would you stop?
Would you stop it?

Stop--

-No!
-Ow!

[grunts]

[screams]

-[ringing]
-how do you like that, huh?!

[gasps]

[gabby crying]

Gabby, gabby, up, up.

Hey, you're causing a scene
right now.

Causing a scene, so we need
to get out of here right now.

Get in the van. Gotta get
in the van. Get in the van.

Back up.

[moaning]

[grunts]

[alarm chirps]

[breathing heavily]

Come on. You're all right.
You're all right.

-You're all right.
-Come on.

[line rings]

Female dispatcher: 9-1-1.
What's your emergency?

Yeah, I'm on the corner
of main street by moonflower.

Uh, and I'd like to report
a domestic dispute.

[breathing heavily]

Okay. All right. Look, I think
the problem here is that

You're just--you're not
understanding--

You're not understanding

How these guys are looking
at you, right?

Because, like, I know you think
you're being nice.

I know you think they're
being nice, but they're not.

-They're being...
-[siren wailing in distance]

-They're being--
-hey, you need to pull over.

-Why? It's not for us.
-Brian, you need to pull over.

-There's no way it's for us.
-The police are--that is for us.

-He's right behind us.
-I'm--I'm--I'm going--

-Brian, you need to pull over.
-Don't grab the wheel.

-Don't grab the wheel.
-Brian, you need to pull over.

Please stop right there!

I am gonna pull over, all right?

-Pull over then.
-I'm pulling over.

-It's the law!
-[siren wailing]

[engine turns off]

-Now, like, I--
-well, I just--

I told you that he was coming,
and you needed to pull over.

Yeah, I-I was pulling over,
and you grabbed the wheel.

No, you weren't. You pulled over
when you heard the thing--

Shh. Gab--

Okay, turn your engine off
for me.

[engine turns off]

Go ahead and set the keys
on your dash for me, all right?

What's your guys' names?

-Gabby.
-Brian laundrie.

Gabby? Brian? Okay.

What's going on?
How come you're crying?

I'm just crying. We've just been
fighting this morning.

Some personal issues.

Can I get you to step out
of the vehicle for me, ma'am?

Yeah.

Go ahead and hang tight for me,
all right?

Why don't you walk over here
with me?

I have the female passenger
separated from the male.

-Excuse me, sir.
-Yeah.

-Hey, good day.
-Hey.

-Any weapons in the car?
-No. Uh...

So what's going on?

I don't know.
Sometimes it's just, like,

Like, I get really bad ocd,
and I...

I was cleaning
and straightening up

The back of the van before,
and I was apologizing to him,

Saying, "I'm sorry for being
so mean,"

Because sometimes...
Sometimes I have bad ocd,

And I get really frustrated,
and not, like,

Mean towards him, just, like,
I don't know.

So I was saying, "I'm sorry
if I'm in a bad mood."

It's just, I'm really stressed,

And I had so much work to do
on my computer this morning.

What do you do for a living?

Well...I just quit my job
to travel across the country

And I'm trying to start a blog.

-Hmm.
-But I have a blog.

So...I'm building my website,
and it's been really stressful,

And...He doesn't even believe
I can do any of it, so...

That's kind of in my head,
and I don't--I don't know.

He's kind of a downer,
and I don't know, this morning,

We were just fighting,

And he wouldn't let me
in the car before.

Why would he let you in the car?
Because of the ocd?

He said I need to calm down,
yeah.

But...I'm, like,
perfectly calm.

I'm calm all the time.

This just really
stresses me out,

And this is a rough morning.

[police radio chatter]

Oh. You, uh, you spoke
to gabrielle, my, uh, fiancée?

Yeah, I spoke to her. Why don't
you tell me what happened?

Um...Well, she just--you know,

She gets worked up sometimes,
and so, like,

I try to--
I try to keep my distance. Um...

That's why I locked the car
and was walking away.

Um, but...So what--
what happened this morning

Was that she was working
on a little, like,

Website blog and everything.

-[siren wailing]
-so, um...

I was, uh...Uh, I, you know,
I was giving her time

And everything, and--
and, um...

We really had a--like, a really
nice morning, if anything.

But she just got worked up

Because we were trying
to get going

'cause we had to get
our day started

'cause we were supposed
to hike, uh, arches.

-[gabby crying]
-[police radio chatter]

Gabby, you have some marks
on your face. Did he hit you?

We have witnesses who say
they saw him hit you.

Well, I...Yeah, but...
I mean, to be honest,

I-I hit him first.

[police radio chatter]

So...What do you wanna do?

[sighs] she says
she hit him first, but...

I mean, technically,
she's the primary aggressor,

But...How big a feather you need
to knock this kid over?

I really don't wanna take her
to jail over this.

If she said she had no intention
of giving him any injury,

We don't have to call
a domestic assault.

We could just do
a 24-hour no-contact order.

Yeah, I'm good with that.

[sighs]

Yeah, so they took him
to a hotel and s

Yeah, so they took him
to a hotel and said

I could get him in 24 hours.

-Are you sure you want to?
-Rose.

Gabby, I'm telling you,

These episodes of brian's
are not gonna stop happening.

Well, you don't know that,
and--and this--

This was just a bad fight.

I'm saying you should get
in your car. Drive away.

Come home to me.

-Yeah, come on, rose.
-I mean it.

So what, what, you're saying

I should just abandon him
in utah?

That's what I'm saying.

[sighs]

[sighs]

[animal calls in distance]

[sighs]

[switch clicks]

Okay.

[sighs]

[touchpad clicking]

[exhales deeply]

[keys jangle]

[engine starts]

[brakes squeal]

[sighs]

[shifts gears]

[van approaches]

[sighs]

[gears shift, engine turns off,
keys jangle]

Hey.

Hey.

I'm sorry about yesterday.

It's okay. Let's just
forget about it, okay?

Ahh.

[camera shutter clicking]

Got it.

[sighs]

Here. Set.
Is that perfect enough for you?

Yeah. It'll work.

[train whistle blowing
in distance]

Okay.

You know,
if you're so miserable,

Like, why are you trying
to project to everybody,

Like, what a wonderful life
you're having?

I mean, I'm not miserable.
I'm just a little...

Confused by everything.

Okay. So, like...

What are you confused by?

Um...I don't know. Just...

Eh. It's just not as easy

As I thought it was gonna be,
you know?

Oh. Are you...

Are you talking about, um,
the trip,

Or are you talking about us?

I mean...Both, I guess.

Okay, so what you're saying
is basically you thought

That everything would be easier
with me?

Easier with us. Don't you think?

You can't expect everything
to be sunshine all the time.

I don't.

Everybody has rough patches,
gabby.

Well, you don't deal with them
very well, brian.

Yeah, it's all me.

[sighs]

Yeah, so you guys are getting
on each other's nerves or...

Kinda.

You don't look happy.

It's just been tough.

I mean, I-I don't know
what I expected, but it...

Well, sweetie, brian's right
about one thing.

No one has a relationship
where it's all fun and games.

Then why even be
in a relationship?

Gabby, you gotta be kidding me.

Of course I'm kidding, mom.
It's just...

It's--it's, like, so messed up.

It's like one second,
I'm--I'm so happy

And in love and the next,
he's like a total stranger.

And it's so frustrating because,
like, all we do is fight.

And I--I've been thinking it
over and over and over,

And I-I just...I...
I don't know.

I just--I feel like--
I don't know

Where this is going
anymore.

Well...Look,
you are still young.

You've got plenty of time
to figure things out, and...

It's not like you guys
are married yet.

Um, I know.

You know, I look back
on your dad and I,

And well...As it turns out,

We were better off
as just friends.

No, I get it. And I don't think
we're that bad.

And I don't wanna put
all the blame on him either.

You know? Like, I've--I've got
my issues, too, but...

Something's definitely not there
that should be.

[indistinct conversations]

Hey, bro. I ordered water,
like, 10 minutes ago.

Okay.

[sighs]

[crunching]

-Here you go.
-Awesome.

Yeah. See how easy that was?

Chimp could do that. [laughs]

Brian. What the hell
is the matter with you?

Do you know how rude that was?

How long am I supposed to wait?
Like...

You've been in a crappy mood
all day.

[indistinct conversations]

[sighs]

You know, I overheard you
talking to your mom yesterday.

What about it?

Do you...

Do you really not love me
anymore?

[sighs] I-I-I didn't say that.

Of course I love you.

It's just...I told her things
are complicated.

Okay. Well, you know that
I love you, right?

Yeah.

Great. That's great, 'cause then
we can work on everything else.

-Right?
-Yeah.

Maybe. Probably, but...Um...

Look, uh...

[sighs]

What--what happened in utah,
I can't--

No, no, no, no, no. We don't
have to talk about that.

That's over and done with.
It's over.

Yeah, but the thing is, though,
brian, is it's not.

Brian, you--you hit me.

And I apologize for that.

No, you didn't. I apologized.

Okay. All right, all right.
All right. I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry. Okay?
Can we try to remember, though,

That you did a little hitting
on your own?

-Okay.
-Yeah?

Okay. Fine, and I-I admit that.

But...Don't you think
that suggests

We're in, like,
a toxic relationship?

What is with these, like, what
is with these buzzwords, huh?

Like "toxic relationship."
I don't know what that means.

Well, what would you call it?

Why do we have to call it
anything?

It is what it is.
So why--why put a label on it?

You need to stop yelling.

I don't care what
these people think.

That--that's your problem

With your blogs
and your tiktoks.

You're like all
these other girls

Trying to be like
a walking advertisement

For how great your life is,
but that--

That is not how the real world
works, all right?

It's not my fault
that I can't live up

To this frickin' fantasy that
you're building online, right?

Real life--
it gets messy sometimes.

Dirt is going to get tracked
into the van sometimes.

I'm the real brian! I can't
expect me to be the--the brian

That you're just, like,
showing off to the world!

Can we get another basket
of chips, please?!

-[door opens, bells jangle]
-I'm so sorry.

-[door closes]
-[exhales deeply]

[exhales deeply]

Hey, you don't have to look
at me like this. I...

-I got it out of my system.
-It isn't about today.

Okay. So...What--what is it?

You scare me sometimes.

Gabby, I'm...

Gabby, I'm not trying
to scare you.

It doesn't matter
what you're trying to do, brian.

You get these flashes of anger,
and you scare me.

Look, I'm...

I just... [chuckles]
I wanna give you a hug.

We had an argument.
Now it's over, right?

Hey.

Okay, all right.

Okay, you're all right.

You all right? Yeah?

Okay, let's go.

I'm really sorry. Okay?

Okay.

All right.

Where to next?

-[starts engine]
-grand te-tons?

"tee-tons"? You say it.
Yeah?

Let's go!

[package rustling]

Hey, gabs. Gabs,
could you open this for me?

-Thanks.
-[sighs]

[rustling continues]

Awesome.

[crunches]

[mouth full] oh, you know what?
We're making really good time.

I think we're gonna get
to the campsite

Before, like, sunset.

You know, I was...Thinking
about what I said back there?

And, like,
I think I've been looking

At this whole blog thing wrong.

'cause some
of these influencers--

They make, like, bank, you know?

How many followers
are you up to?

I don't know.
I get more every day.

That's great!

So, like, how many more till
you can, like, monetize?

I don't know.

Well, I think that the stuff
that you're putting out there

Is, like, it's way better

Than most of the other crap,
you know?

Like, the dancing and the
makeovers and stuff like that.

I think I get it, you know?
I think I'm finally getting it.

We're--we're showing people
america.

Like, most people don't get
to see this.

Yeah.

Are you all right?

Yeah. I'm, um, just...
I'm good.

Okay. Oh! My god.

Oh, my god! We gotta take
a photograph of that, right?

Come on. You in front of that?
We gotta stop. We gotta stop.

Come on.

Okay, do you wanna, like,
you wanna jump?

-No.
-Jump into it or something?

No, just--brian,
just take the picture.

Oh, I'm so sorry. Excuse me.

Do you mind taking a photograph
of me and my fiancée?

-Okay. Yeah.
-Thank you.

[camera shutter clicks]

Looks good.

-Awesome. Thanks so much.
-You're welcome.

Appreciate it.

Aw, look at that.
[laughs] that's great.

All right, what do you think?
Is that for the blog?

Or is that for us?

I don't know. It's kinda creepy.

Yeah, it's, like,
the whole point.

I mean, like, 'cause of
the...Sign and everything, so...

Yeah.

You know,
there's a really beautiful view

Of the mountains coming up,
so you're probably

Gonna wanna get that
for the blog, right?

Probably.

[chuckles] okay. Are you just
not gonna talk to me at all?

Or is it, like...

I am talking to you.

I just don't feel like
talking right now.

Well, if we don't communicate,

We're not gonna get anywhere,
so...

Well, we're not getting
anywhere,

And you suddenly pretending
you're interested in the blog

Isn't changing that.

So, what, that's it?
We're just gonna leave it--

Brian! Give me a minute.

[sighs]

[inhales and exhales deeply]

[birds calling]

[fire crackling]

[animals calling]

Gabby.

I'm really sorry.

And not just for the scene
in the restaurant or for utah,

But for...Everything.

Look...

I'm full of insecurity.
I know that.

I just--I think I hope that
you'd never figure that out.

You know, you--you have always
been out of my league.

Like, even back in high school.

And when a girl like you
tells a guy like me

That he's worthy?

Guys like me, we just start
to worry that one day...

You're gonna figure out
the truth.

So I tried. I tried really hard
to be worthy of you.

But I blew it.

But...

I want you to know
that I have made the decision

That from now on, I will be
the man that you deserve.

I'm gonna get back on my meds.

I'm gonna make something
of myself for you,

Because I wanna build a future
together.

So this--this is gonna change,

And I just need you to give me
a chance to prove that to you.

Brian...

I love you.

I do.

I always will.

♪

[sighs]

[sadly] hey, mom.

[upbeat voice] hey, mom.

Um...We've just been...

[clears throat] traveling
for a few days, so, um...

No, d-- no, detective.
We don't live in florida.

Our daughter does.
We're calling you from new york.

Man: Oh, I see. Okay.
How long has she been missing?

I mean, we--we don't know,
exactly.

We just know we haven't heard
from her since the 27th,

And that's unusual.

She's not responding
to anything, not from me,

Not from my ex-wife.

Well, uh, okay. Let me have
her name and address.

[clears throat]
well, see, that's the thing.

She's not in florida either.

They've been traveling
the country

For the last several months.

That's a problem.
If she's not even in the state,

There's really not much
I can do.

Yeah, but that's... [sighs]

Look, the last we knew,
she was in wyoming.

All right, that helps, right?

It doesn't help me,
but what you could do

Is get on the phone
with wyoming.

Who in wyoming?

So...She's been missing
a week and a half,

And...We can't get anybody
to help us.

Like, the local police
keep saying--

I mean, she's been traveling
the country

With--with her boyfriend, and--

Usually, she posts something
pretty much almost every day,

And all of that has stopped.

This is from around the 20th.

And how old is she?

-20--
-she's--

-She's 22.
-22.

Yeah.

[sighs] yes. I know.
She's an adult.

She can come and go
as she pleases,

And she doesn't have to check in
with her mom, but she does,

Is my point.

And she always does,
with the both of us.

[telephone ringing in distance]

Something about this
is not right.

I have one.

Same age.

I get it.

-Hmm.
-Okay.

Tell me everything
I need to know.

Let's see if we can't find
your daughter.

[typing]

[taps key]

[sighs]

Joe:
He's already back in florida?

Since when?

Almost two weeks.
And gabby was not with him.

Well, what did he have
to say about that?

Brian hasn't said anything
at all,

And they're only speaking
through their lawyer.

Their lawyer?
They've already hired a lawyer?

That doesn't mean anything
definitively in and of itself.

[sighs]

But you need to know
what's going on.

Gabby is now officially
a missing person,

And he is
a person of interest.

Reporter:
...Been able to come up

With a cure in two years.

The government has beefed up
the research fund by $2 million

In hopes of speeding up work
on a cure.

Reporter #2:
A north port resident

Has gone missing while
on a cross-country trip

With her fiancé.

22-year-old gabby petito
left florida in early July,

But according to her family,

She hasn't been heard from
in two weeks.

Reporter #3: The disappearance
of a florida woman

Is raising concerns.

22-year-old gabby petito
and her fiancée, brian laundrie,

Left on a camping adventure
cross country,

But only he returned.

[amplified voice]
that is what we have so far

From the various
local law enforcement agencies.

So at this time,
I'm going to allow joe,

Gabby's dad, to come up
and say a few words.

[indistinct conversations,
camera shutters clicking]

-Thank you.
-Okay.

[camera shutters
continue clicking]

[amplified voice] hi.

What I need from everyone here
is help.

'cause the goal
is still not met,

And the goal is
to bring gabby home safe.

I'm asking help
from everyone here.

I'm asking help
from everyone at home.

I'm asking help from the parents
of brian.

You know, there's a--
there's a tip line

That you can
call in anonymously,

Whatever you can do to make sure
my daughter comes home.

I'm asking for that help.

There is nothing else
that matters to me.

This girl--this is what matters.

Thank you.

[indistinct conversations]

Uh, what is brian's side
of the story?

Brian laundrie continues
to exercise

His fifth amendment rights
to remain silent.

All I can tell you is that
two people went on a trip,

And one of them returned.

And that person who returned

Isn't providing us
any information.

At this time,
I want to read a statement

On behalf of the petito family
to brian laundrie.

If you or your family
have any decency left,

Please tell us
where gabby is located.

Tell us if we are even
looking in the right place.

All we want is for gabby
to come home.

Please help us make that happen.

We haven't been able
to sleep or eat,

And our lives are falling apart.

Reporter: Dramatic video
of missing person gabby petito

And her fiancé brian laundrie

Has just been made available
in this exclusive first look.

Gabby: And it's been
really stressful,

And he doesn't really believe
I can do any of it,

So that's kinda in my head,
and I don't know.

He's just--
he's kind of a downer.

And I don't know. This morning,
we were just fighting,

And he wouldn't let me
in the car before.

Yeah.

Officer: Why wouldn't he let you
into the car?

She's crying. He's laughing.

Reporter: The couple were
apparently pulled over

After a 9-1-1 call...

Don't you guys see
what's going on?!

...The incident
of domestic abuse.

Reporter #2: In a story that has
captured national attention,

Everyone seems to be asking
the same question.

Where is gabby?

[crowd clamoring]

Man: Bring gabby home!

[siren wails]

-[helicopter blades whirring]
-woman: Arrest brian!

[siren wails]

[clamoring continues]

Man: Where's gabby?!

Ooh. We got officers
on the scene. Okay.

[clamoring continues]

Man: Come on! Speak up!

[clamoring continues]

Where's gabby?! Where is she?!

Woman: Get him!

[crowd shouting indistinctly]

Give up your son!

[indistinct shouting continues]

Woman: Bring her home!

[indistinct shouting continues]

Justice for gabby!

[clamoring continues]

Come on!

[clamoring continues]

Get his face when
they bring him out.

Ooh, and go tight on the cuffs.

[indistinct shouting]

[clears throat]

[helicopter whirring]

Is brian under arrest?

Man: Did he tell you
where gabby is?

What are you charging him with?

All right, listen,
an arrest warrant was issued

For brian laundrie because
it is believed that he used

Gabby petito's debit card
without authorization.

So you are arresting him?

Folks, brian isn't here.

Man: Well, where is he?!

-Everybody!
-[clamoring continues]

Now...According to his parents,
brian left a few days ago.

-[gasps]
-what?

And...No one has any idea
where he is.

[helicopter whirring,
clamoring continues]

Tell us about your friendship
with gabby.

What kind of things did you do?

Uh, we pretty much just hang out
and chill,

And she would follow me
everywhere.

Uh, we have this joke that, um,
she was my...Um...Uh...

What do we call her?

Uh...My emotional service human.
[laughs]

And just, she would just always
be cheering me up, you know?

Reporter: And what was her
relationship with brian like?

Uh, I'm sorry. What is it like?

Thank you. Uh...

On the outside,
he could be very charismatic.

I mean, there's no doubt
in my mind

That gabby loves him.

But you know, just, like,
any couple,

Like, they had their arguments.

Reporter: Brian is not talking
to the police.

What is your message to him?

If he just gave us
any bit of information,

Anything that would...

It would give us a place
to start.

I just wanna find my friend.

Man:
So now right there, you'll see

Brian's mother is heading to
the shed in their backyard.

Right here, you can see
that she wants to make sure

No one's watching.

And there you can see him.
Brian's in the shed.

It's clear they're keeping him
back there.

I don't know why the hell
the cops

Aren't taking this seriously.

[sighs]

Man #2: I think all of them
are wrong.

I think she's still alive
and out there someplace.

I think they just got
into another big-ass fight.

I mean, this guy's a hothead,

But he doesn't look like
he could kill her to me.

Now you can always tell
a killer by his eyes. Always.

Brian's got eyes more like
you'd see

In a wall street bad guy.

I can see him driving away,
leaving her stuck by herself.

But nah,
he'd never actually kill her.

[sighs]

Woman: On August 29th,

My boyfriend and I actually
picked up brian

At grand teton national park
sometime that night.

Uh...When I saw him on tiktok,

I recognized him
as the same guy.

Anyway, he said that he needed
to go to jackson,

And we said, "hop in"
because we were going there.

We made small talk, and he said
that he had been camping

For multiple days
without his fiancée.

He did mention his fiancée
and said that

She was back at their van

Working on
their social media page.

Um, and then all of a sudden,
he just freaks out.

He's like, "I've gotta get out
right now!"

[scoffs] so we pulled over
at the jackson dam,

And he kinda, like,
hurried out of the car.

Um...He had some scruff,

But for someone who had been
camping for several days,

He didn't look dirty.
He didn't smell dirty.

And that part was kinda weird.

Weeding out all the nutjobs,
we've got

Several eyewitness accounts
that are clicking together

To give us maybe
a useful narrative.

Let's talk about the couple
that said

They picked up brian laundrie
hitchhiking.

And let's assume for the moment
he did kill this poor girl.

He has just killed
his fiancée.

He's panicking.

He decides to just leave
everything behind,

Get the hell out of there.

[panting]

[whispers] okay.

[exhales deeply]

He's picked up by miranda baker
and her boyfriend.

He makes up an alibi

About camping by himself
while gabby

Is back at the van alone.

Maybe his story's gonna be some
stranger found her out there,

Killed her while he was away.

Who knows?

But at some point on his way
out of dodge,

He realizes this is a bad plan

Because he has left
all the evidence behind.

As she tells it, he freaks
and decides to bail.

Six minutes later,
he gets another ride,

This time taking him back
to the campground he came from.

But here's the thing.
Not all the way.

The driver said he was willing

To take him further
into the camp,

Which is
a huge, spread-out site.

But he says he'd rather walk.

I mean, wouldn't want them

To drive him right
to the murder scene, would he?

He buries her.
He cleans the site best he can.

He packs up everything that
will show he was ever there,

And he drives off.
-[engine starts]

Two days later, he arrives back
in florida all by his lonesome.

So if these witnesses
are credible,

And I believe they are,

If laundrie did, in fact,
kill gabby,

She'd be somewhere out here
in these 5 or 6 square miles.

See anything?
Nope.

-[dogs panting]
-come on, boy.

[dog whimpers and barks]

And we are live in 4, 3...

Searchers are trying
to keep up hope,

But so far,
the search for gabby petito

Remains a frustrating dead end.

Reporter: Officials from
the national park service

As well as local
law enforcement agencies

Say they will continue
ground surveys

As long as daylight allows.

Man: We spotted something

About a half mile east
of your location--

Patch of earth that you might
wanna take a look at.

-[radio beeps]
-roger that.

[siren wails]

[helicopter whirring]

What do we got?

Look.

Hey, hey, hold on.

[whispers indistinctly]

[whispering] okay. [sighs]

One moment. Come on.

[cellphone rings]

[continues ringing]

[breathes shakily]

Hello?

And we're out here
at the wyoming command center

In search for missing woman
gabby petito,

And I've just received
some very sad news.

-[sobbing]
-I've just been informed

That a search party
has come across the remains

Of a young woman,
and by all indications...

[voice echoing] it appears to be
the body of gabby petito.

[continues sobbing]

[birds chirping]

[engine turns off]

[breathing heavily]

Reporter: Since brian laundrie's
whereabouts are still unknown,

There's been speculation
he may have received help

From his parents
to avoid questioning,

And his parents are still
not cooperating

With the authorities.

Man: Hand me those.

It's just his damn mother.

You need to tell your clients
that they're coming

Dangerously close
to an obstruction charge.

Brian's parents,
as I've said before,

Have no knowledge
of their son's whereabouts.

Right. His mother just happened
to know where her son

Parked his mustang
in 25,000 acres of wilderness.

It would appear so.

Did you read
the coroner's report?

Of course I read it.

Official cause of death--

Manual strangulation
and throttling.

I'm waiting for a point.

The point is this
is who you are protecting.

[sighs]

Oh.

Hi.

-Um...
-[chuckles]

I'm...

I know who you are, rose.
Come here.

[sighs]

-I just...Uh...
-[water pouring]

[voice breaking]
I just can't shake this feeling

That I have in my gut that
there was something else

I could have done.

There wasn't.

-[whispers] thank you.
-Um...

[chuckles]

I mean...I knew her relationship
was rocky,

And I just let her go.

[clears throat]
do you--do you think

She would've let you stop her?

[laughs] no.

[crying]

Yeah, so...

What could you have done?

Look...

Gabby--she, uh... [chuckles]

She lived her life
exactly how she wanted to.

You know, that's part of what we
all loved about her.

Some of these, uh...Thoughts
that you've been having,

They've, uh...

They've been torturing me, too.

But we can't let them.

You know, we're--
we're gonna be...

[crying]

We're gonna be missing her
for the rest of our lives,

So...We have to figure out,
uh, a way to live with that.

How?

[sniffles]

Um...Just...

By remembering the good.

[voice breaking]
I mean, it's--it's, uh...

It's--it's r--it's--it's rough.
It's going to be rough.

[sobbing]

But...There are--there are
a lot of us, rose.

And we're gonna get through it
together.

I just have a lot of this anger

That I don't know what
to do with,

And that son of a bitch
is still out there.

Mm. Yeah, well, for now.

-[bell tolling]
-woman: Su a tragedy.

-[bell tolling]
-woman: Such a tragedy.

I wanna thank you guys
for coming out and...

And showing your respects
for gabby.

But I don't want you to be sad.

Gabby didn't live her life
that way.

She always made people
feel welcomed.

She...She treated people
with respect.

She cared.

She genuinely cared.

[crying in background]

My daughter lived a short life,
but she lived an inspiring one.

I want you to look
at the pictures

Around this room and...

I want you to be inspired
by them.

We've gotten emails
from around the country

From people that gabby touched--

People who wanna live
their lives bigger,

People who wanna... [chuckles]

They wanna get rid of the things
that are holding 'em back.

And that's
the most important thing.

If you're in a...Relationship...

That might not be the best thing
for you, leave it.

Leave it now.

[birds chirping]

Gabby's the most amazing person
I've ever met.

I could not be more proud
of her as a...

[sobbing in background]

...As a father.

I really am sorry.

Gabby, I need you to forgive me
if I'm going to...

[breathes heavily]

[exhales deeply]

You'd probably let me do it,
wouldn't you?

You'd let me do it
if you were here.

Okay.

[exhales deeply]

[gunshot]

I mean...

That's the question, isn't it?
[chuckles]

What finally made brian snap?

I'm gonna get back on my meds.

I'm gonna make something
of myself for you

Because I wanna build
a future together.

So things are gonna change,
okay?

And I just need you to give me
the chance to prove that.

Brian...

I love you.

I do.

I always will.

But...We're not good together.

-No, gabby, no, no, no.
-Listen to me.

-That's--
-listen.

You're not a bad person.
I'm not a bad person.

It's just this trip has shown me
what it would be like

If we stayed together,
and all we do is fight.

That's not true. We don't--
that's not all we do. We--

Brian, we fight every day.

And I don't want my life
to be like that.

And I don't--I don't know what
I want it to be, exactly,

But not--not that.

And I...

Ooh. I...

[sighs]

I need to be with someone
whose life

Is more than just about me.

You suggested this whole trip.

I...I thought you wanted
to travel

And see the world together,
but...

It feels like you just want me
all to yourself.

You know, most girls--they--
they would--

They would love that kind
of attention.

Well, not this one.

[scoffs]

[sighs]

Brian...

It's not your fault, okay?

It's not. You don't have to want
the same things that I do.

You know? I think a lot
of the time I was projecting

What--what I wanted on to you,
and that was selfish.

And I'm--I'm sorry.
That was my fault.

I'm--I'm really sorry.

Gabby, gabby, look, I need you
to think about this, please.

Brian, brian.

This is all I have been
thinking about for weeks.

It isn't fair for either of us
to hold on to something

That we know isn't working.

Brian.

You have to know
it isn't working.

I think we should take the van
back to florida,

And I can get on a bus
back home to new york.

Brian?

C'mon brian, talk to me.

Hey.

Hey, brian, it's not--
it's not your fault, okay?

It's not. It's not your fault.

It's not your fault, okay?
It's okay.

It's okay.

No.

Brian.

Brian.

Brian. Brian.

-No.
-Brian.

Brian! Brian! Brian!

-[thunderclap]
-[panting]

[continues panting]

[thunderclap]

Reporter: Flood waters that made
the search for brian laundrie

In the carlton nature reserve
so difficult have receded,

And brian's parents are now
finally seeming to cooperate

With the authorities.
-[dogs barking]

They've mentioned several places
in the reserve

Where they think brian
may have taken refuge.

Searchers are now examining
those areas.

Over here.

Joe: You wanna know what
I got to say about him?

What's there to say?

[dog barking in distance]

The bastard admitted what he did
in that notebook they found.

Like there was any doubt.

Brian laundrie was a coward.

I mean, how else do you define
a guy like that?

He destroyed a thing of beauty

That brought nothing but joy
to people.

Then he ran away
and took the easy way out.

[flies buzzing]

He won't be missed.

Gabby, on the other hand, she--

She'll be missed.

I have learned so many things
on this trip so far.

I have learned that
my country is beautiful.

I mean, look at this.

I learned that the people
are beautiful.

But the most positive thing
I've learned is that

We live in a really good world.

I mean, yeah, bad stuff happens,

But a lot of really good stuff
happens, too,

And it's up to us
which to focus on, so...

I choose the good stuff.
